#she relates to Lilo so much

[youngestgilbert]

The reason Maggie loves Lilo and Stitch so much is because Lilo's parents alo died in a car crash and it's about sisters!

Danyal Al Ghul: Incorrect Quotes and Miscellaneous Thoughts

Incorrect quotes-style snippets specifically for my danyal al ghul au here (which i really need to come up with a unique au name for atp). Because I thought it'd be funny. And also some miscellaneous headcanons thrown into the mix. Some context for the au: - Danyal is 5 years older than Damian (so 10 and 15) - Danny faked his death when he was 10. Talia knows and helped him with it. - Jazz, Sam, and Tucker do not know he's an ex-assassin.

-------- Snippet 1

Danny, dryly tapping his temple: I have, as the Americans say, irreparable psychological damage, right here.

Jazz, an older sibling first and foremost: well, it's good that you're self-aware.

-------- Snippet 2

Danny, aged 10, in the American foster planning to just age out of the system: *emanating Bad Vibes. Pure, Little Orphan Tom Riddle Energy*

Jazz, aged 12, coming in to adopt a new sibling with her parents: Him. This is my brother now :)

Danny: ...what

--------

Lilo and Stitch is Danny's favorite Disney movie. He watched it when he was 11 with Jazz when she was attempting to connect with him, and by this point Danny was becoming receptive to her efforts. They had a movie marathon in the living room one night.

Safe to say? It resonated with his little 11 year old heart strongly, and he related very strongly with both Nani and Stitch. He got unexpectedly emotional and hid in his room for the rest of the night. Jazz felt really bad, but it had the intended (but kinda unexpected) effect of him trying to be nicer to her afterwards.

-------- Snippet 3

Dash, aged 12, causing trouble again and getting intercepted by Danny: *scaling up a desk* AHHHHH! GET YOUR LITTLE FREAK, FOLEY!

Tucker: Hey! Danny is not a freak!

Dash: GET HIM TO BACK OFF

Tucker, was the kid Dash was messing with: ....whats in it for me

-------- Snippet 4

Danny, saying some questionably immoral shit: What. Why are you looking at me like that.

Tucker: Bro. I mean this as kindly as possible; what the fuck?

Sam: yeah, I'm with Tuck on this one.

-------- Snippet 5

Danny, ranting about Vlad: if it weren't for the laws of this land, I would have slaughtered him

Sam, painting his nails black: I'm pretty sure you'd slaughter him regardless of the laws of the land -- and quit moving, you're gonna mess me up.

Tucker: we've literally seen you debate yourself about this, Dan

Danny: ...you are correct, but it is the principle of things.

-------- Snippet 6

Vlad: I have experience my child, and the money and power attained through using those powers for personal gain, you say. I could train you, teach you everything I know! And all you have to do is renounce that idiot adoptive father of yours.

Danny, was already contemplating committing a Violence: ....

Danny, internally: I'm going to stab him *turns into Phantom*

--------

Funny contrast I realized between Danyal and Vlad that iirc I haven't pointed out yet is that imo, Danyal doesn't rely on his powers nearly half as much as canon Danny does. He falls back instinctually on his League training, and thus sometimes forgets to use his powers in battle. This was prevalent especially early on when he was still getting used to the whole 'halfa' thing.

He incorporates them more often after a year, but still for the most part relies on his own physical hand-to-hand combat. He trusts those skills much more than he does his powers. I'm not sure where he is on a technical level compared to canon, but just to stay safe I'll say he's similar in power skill as canon Danny. Perhaps a little more finessed than him because his League training would probably have him trying to figure out his powers as soon as possible.

But in summary? Danny is strong in hand-to-hand combat, weak in powerset.

Meanwhile Vlad is the opposite. I can't recall if he even knows hand-to-hand in canon, but it makes total sense to me that Vlad Masters wouldn't because he's so confident in his monetary influence and ghost abilities that he sees no need for it.

And he's kinda got some merit behind it. He's very powerful and has 20 years of experience to experiment and fine tune his powers. He's got bite to follow up his bark. He's perfected long-range combat and his ability to phase through walls makes it impossible to corner him, but if you can manage it, then one good hit could probably knock him on his ass.

So in summary, Vlad is strong in powerset, weak in hand-to-hand combat.

And it casts a good contrast between the two of them in that regard. Danny, as a fellow halfa, can follow Vlad when he phases through walls and is fast enough to land a hit on him. His league training as an assassin, albeit rusty, is still deep ingrained enough in him that he can hold up as a rather veritable threat against Vlad without needing his powers.

But Vlad can force Danny to use his powers more often through use of his own. The duplication is the first thing to come to mind: Danny's fast enough to dispel them on his own without powers, and smart enough that he could figure out who the real one is if given a few minute. But that's not always efficient enough.

Good foils for each other that way. Also Vlad's Plasmius design mimics Ra's juuust enough that he looks like Ra's knockoff loser second cousin no one talks about, which only fuels Danny's hatred.

-------- Snippet 7

Danny, ranting about Vlad for the first time: --and it's only made worse by the fact that the little ingrate resembles a cheap knock-off of my grandfather!--

Sam, choking on her water: he what--

Tucker, doing a spittake: HE DOES?

what tattoos does nari have?

a/n: thank u SO MUCH for requesting! i hope you like this and nari’s tattoos! much love to u, bae <3

nari’s tattoos and its’ meanings !

— she has 5 tattoos! as soon as she was of age, nari did her first one and since then she LOVES doodling on her skin, though she wants to get even more tattoos on her body.

1. left rib tattoo — ohana.

nari’s a really family oriented girl, she loves her family and everything she does she does for them including her members, who are her second family. also, she LOVES lilo & stitch, one of the biggest stitch enthusiasts out there. so, putting these two together, she decided to tattoo the word ‘ohana’ on her skin, which means ‘family’ in hawaiian and is a quote of the movie itself.

2. left arm tattoo — butterflies.

since her nickname is ‘nabi’ and it means ‘butterfly’, she decided to get it tattoed as well. she also loves this insect, she thought and decided that it had to be on her skin as well — it also reminds her of her trainee days, when she was afraid of being alone and, on her first day there, she even got a nickname, it being her most meaningful and dear one.

3. left wrist — whatever.

when nari’s sexuality was exposed by her to the public and she got a good response, she just thought ‘whatever’ to the bad comments. she couldn’t care less about their opinion and problematic minds, all she could care about was her love for herself and the people who accepted her as she is. so, to mark on her skin that she is proud of who she is, she got the ‘whatever’ tattoo on her wrist, with the pride flag colors.

4. nape — svt units tattoo.

she adores this tattoo, it represents each unit by the drawing – arrow; vocal, heart; performance, “plus”; hiphop. she got it because she loves her group and their history together, they mean so much to her that she had to get it tattoed.

5. right arm — kidult.

‘kidult’ is one of the most meaningful song of theirs to nari, it represents her a lot. she is a kidult herself, she is wants to have no responsibilities but has to be responsible all the time because she is an adult wishing to be a kid. it’s a song that really messes with her and means a lot, so she got it on her skin — it’s probably her most favorite tattoo too, since she really relates to the song.

examples of how each tattoo looks like:

After doing some Two Related Drawings of the Same Franchise, I have recently decide to join in a New Fandom that is "Space Goofs". I've watched Season 1 a lot recently and even seen the Gameplays behind the Video Game Adaptation, "Stupid Invaders" (I have heard of its Lost Cancelled Movie despite the Trailer still being up). I also have lost All Interest in Season 2 since I've been living a Lie throughout my Childhood that it was only Five Aliens rather than just Four since Season 2 was my very first exposure to the Franchise back on my Old Streaming Days on Rovio's Streaming Service, "Toons.TV" (before it got shut down).

I was actually in its own Fandom from back then, but that wasn't because I had to pay to much any attention since My Other Former Ex-Main Fandoms (which were only the Popular Ones that everyone else knows about) were my Former Hobby until when I grew out of it since not only did I realize that had my Love for Obscurity has grown so Wild through the Past Two Decades.

So I've decided to dig up an Old OC who I once actually gave to My BFF, @luci-the-stan-18, but now, since I am going to back to one of my Dead Childhood Fandoms that are actually still active, Me and My Friend have decided to create our own Personal Multiverses of Our Own One Certain Character for the sake of our own Personal Collaboration of a Second Refresh Reboot.

Introducing My Personal Take on Our OC, Star...As a Space Goofs Character.

Back then, when I created Her as a Single OC of Mine (before my Life had changed), I've wanted her to be an Xilam OC of Mine being raised by the Five Titular Aliens (being an akin opposite story quite similar to Disney's "Lilo and Stitch" but have the Roles for the Earth-Beings and the Aliens to be "Swapped"). Like, instead of having a Story of an Stranded Alien Experiment being raised by Humankind on Earth, why not have a Story about an Abandoned Animal being raised by Stranded Extraterrestrial Life on Earth?

Since I've wanted to give an Abandoned OC of Mine a New Refreshing Start to begin early of this Personal Adaptation towards this OC, I've decided to add more to Star's Character as a Mixture (not only with "Lilo and Stitch") but rather have my own Personal Version be also a Mixture to both the Foreign Czechoslovakia FairyTale and it's Obscure Adaptation, Karel Jaromír Erben's "Otesánek" (also known as "Little Otik" by Jan Švankmajer). In My Personal Views to the Concept behind "Space Goofs", I often see the Concept alone as an Idea for an Early 2000s Kids Live-Action Movie with Early CGI or even a Surreal Foreign Live-Action Film, rather than a Foreign Kids Cartoon about Aliens disguising themselves as Humans while still trying to get back to their Home Planet.

Anyway, here's my own re-take of My Own Rebirth of an Old OC of Mine that is now Mine and @luci-the-stan-18's Character.

Star is a Tabby/British Shorthair Mixed Breed Cat and is the Former Pet/Adopted Daughter of the Space Goofs. She was the Daughter of an Alley Cat who was the Random Fling of a Stray Cat that had to take care of her own Kittens (including Star). However as both Star's Biological Mother and Siblings were dead, the only Ones left Alive where Star and one of her Siblings as The Two Kittens only survived but got separated to different homes as Star was taken in by the Five Aliens who try to give her a Proper Home but then later Took her in as a Family Pet.

After when the Stray Cat had a One Night Stand with Star's Mother, the Mother got pregnant and couldn't find where her False Lover was so she had to take of herself alone. Upon during her pregnancy on One Night, she gave birth to her Six Kittens (3 Girls and 3 Boys). Because the Mother was once born to a Loving Family but then had lost her First Owners from a Far Away Town when she was Young, she had to raise her own Kittens the Hard Way as the Family lived somewhere in the Streets beneath the City near to where the Other Stray Cats live in the Junkyard. Star's Family was extremely poor but no matter how they thrive through their lives, Mother Cat would do anything to keep Herself and her Kittens alive as she would often look After, Protect, and even hunt Food for them.

But that was all about to change.

One day, when Star and one of her Siblings were playing around in the Streets, they accidentally bumped into a Group of Rabid Stray Dogs who chased them throughout the Whole City's Streets (even through a Market Place) until when The Two Kittens finally escape the Stray Dogs' clutches by climbing through a Fence (causing one of the Dogs' heads to get stuck through it) as they instantly ran back to their own Mother. After some time after the chase, Mother Cat then thought of the idea that maybe it would be best to move within to a Hideout where No Stray Dog or Evil Human could possibly find them beneath the streets. 5 Days later, when it came through a Dark Night, when it started to Rain Hard as a Storm came, the Mother instantly took her Kittens and ran throughout the streets as fast as she could be, but it was a Huge Crazy Rainy Night as Star accidentally slipped herself through the Wet Boulevard and landed on the Roads to where Star's Mother instantly came to rescue her off the Road until a Truck came and hit the Mother off the Road. Horrified by this incident, the Kittens tried to wake up their Mother but it was too late since the Mother had her own Very Last Life out of her Nine Lives. Heartbroken by their Mother's Death, Star and her Siblings had to flee themselves through the Streets without their Dead Mother but unfortunately, all of that ends in Another Tragedy when Star's siblings accidentally slip into the Stream from the Rain as the Kittens were trying to swim in order to escape. Luckily, Star had to be the one to survive from the Waterfall as she managed to climb up the Boulevard as she was about to rescue her own Siblings by grabbing a Gigantic Flower Steam as the Siblings had to hold on when Star held on to her own Rope as her Siblings managed to climb up to get to their Sister but when the Steam broke, they were all pulled from the current of the Water as they all fell right through the Sewer. They all drowned from the Water into the Sewers, only Star was Left Alive (but One Other Sibling was perhaps alive too). Only then, did Star had to survive throughout the Terrible Rain when she lost her own Biological Family and had to rested for the Night in a Small Neighborhood (which is where her true story begins).

The Next Morning, Star wakes up and finds herself in a Neighborhood within the City, only then does she look around and find herself within a Place where Citizens live in their own Houses. Upon the Kitten's Curiosity, she tried to find any House to have shelter in but none of the Humans seem to notice the Kitten at the Neighborhood's streets until she then stumbles upon a Big Mysterious Blue Mansion behind the Gates which already caught her attention as she went through the Gates and right into the Mansion. At first, what the Mansion from the Inside did seem very quiet compare to the rest of the Neighbors as she explored from around the House. What Star didn't know is that she was deeply unaware that she was somehow being watched from the Five Space Creatures beneath the Attic that the Goofs have found their New Victim to kick her out on so that she wouldn't recognize the Aliens that are hidden within the Big House alone. When Star discovered a big nose from upstairs when she heard weird sounds coming from up the Mansion, she journeyed herself upstairs & upon her own surprise from the Attic was none other than the Aliens themselves. Scared at first, the Kitten immediately screamed as she ran out of the House & went back on the Streets as she hid herself from the Blue Mansion. While she was originally thinking of going back to the Big City, she realizes that a Gigantic World is no place for a Young Cat herself to adventure out there alone so she decides to make the Neighborhood a New Place to live in as she would then sneak herself in away from the Humans in the Neighborhood (especially the Aliens themselves).

When a Family moved next Door of the Space Goofs' Mansion as New Neighbors came by, the Space Goofs disguised themselves as Humans in order to now have to contact with their New Neighbors from Next Door as the New Neighbors decide to welcome themselves to the Disguised Goofs, Star makes her own move to sneak in the Space Goofs' mansion in order to pick up the attention of the Other Family (so that she can be adopted by the Humans). But as the Parents didn't recognized her, the Family's Daughter by the name of "Ambre Lou" (aka the Girl from the Cancelled Movie, "Stupid Invaders") noticed that there was a Cat hidden somewhere around in their House and asked the Disguised Aliens if they did had a Pet Cat to in which response they answered "No" because they didn't had a Cat (which causes the Goofs to believe that the Orange Kitten that they saw before has come back).

After the visit, the Goofs decided to find out on where the Kitten might've been again but Etno decided to confront the Kitten by himself as he found Star hidden in the Bush from their Backyard. Etno wanted to have a reason with Star on why she came back after investing their Hideout but the Poor Kitten looked very scared since she was very dirty, lost, and abandoned. Feeling sympathy for the Poor Cat, Etno decides to take Star back to their House where He and the Goofs decide to give the Poor Kitten some shelter.

For awhile as the Poor Kitten was now being taken care of thanks to the Aliens, Star decides to roam around their Attic while the Goofs mind their own Business but when she stumbles upon Etno's Lab, she finds his Scientific Potions as drinks one of Etno's Chemicals which causes her to give her own Talkative Voice.

When the Goofs find out on what she had been sneaking through in one of their Rooms, the Kitten apologized as she explained her Whole Backstory of why she came into the Neighborhood as she explains the Tragedy of her Family and that she's very sorry for trespassing their own House. When the Goofs began to felt such sympathy for the Poor Cat, they felt like wanted to raise her and give their House a New Home (especially Candy) but Etno figured out a plan that if they were to give her a New Home, they might as well sell her to the Humans for a New Home but the rest of the Goofs (except for Gorgious) disagree with the idea of selling the Abandoned Cat to the Humans (especially with Candy) but Etno believes that if they were to give an Adoptable Animal to a Human, it might still keep them safe from the Humans if they were to find out their True Identities. Leaving with No Choice, they helped the Kitten to be adopted for free in order to have any of the Humans have a New Animal as a Pet.

When the New Neighbors' Daughter recognizes the Same Kitten that she last saw, she notices something very suspicious about their Neighbors' Concerned about their "Pet" since Star kept being Adopted by New People but no matter how she tried to live within their House, None of the Humans seem to either Care or weren't Just Good Owners for the Young Animal as she would keep running back to the Goofs every time when her Adoption kept failing.

When the Goofs had enough of trying to get rid of her, they decided to keep her and even continue to take care of her as she was all Healthy now. They decide to name her "Star" (only because she didn't like being kept called "Kitty") as Star now had to live with the Space Goofs for Shelter until when Etno can finally find a New Home for Her for the Humans.

However, as the Weeks came for Star's shelter life being taken care of by the Stupid Invaders, she does get along with the Goofs very well.

Candy Mothers her a lot while treating Star as if she was his Daughter. Gorgious tends to spoil her a lot after not being interest in her at first until he started to grow fond of her as if she was his own niece.

Bud loves Baby Animals and adores Star as they often hang out together (either if they play or watch TV).

Stereo likes to teach Star on how to read and to be smart, but like Bud, they would usually hang out with her like a Sister.

Etno's case is far the Most and Main Relationship out of the bunch since Star grows fond to like Etno since he was the first one who found her as the Two have a Mutual Father and Daughter Relationship.

But whenever the Goofs are in disguised to blend within the Human Society, they would usually act as if they were a Family with Star being their own Pet of the Group (even if she's still not officially adopted) whenever they tend to go out shopping or to visit their own Neighbors as Guests, even Star made Friends along the Way who are also Pets of the Other Neighbors.

One Day, during a Birthday Party at one of the Neighbors' Houses when the Disguised Aliens were invented, Ambre Lou finds out that Star can actually talk after when she spoke accidentally when she got out of the Restroom for Ambre Lou always knew that there was something suspicious going on with her Neighbors Next Door (that being the Supposed Aliens). But Star encourages the Girl not to tell anyone the truth behind her Caretakers' True Identities or else, Evil Scientists out there might hurt them and that she would be all alone all over again. Fearing as if though that the Great Big Fear might come anytime soon if anyone else would start to notice besides than Her, Ambre Lou made a deal with the Cat not to tell anyone about the Alien Neighbors as the Next-Door Neighbor Tween would keep Star's true owners a huge secret from anyone else. Although while the Daughter truly wanted a Friend to hang out with, She and Star somehow start to become friends for whenever the Next-Door Neighbor Family would visit the Goofs' home, the Child and the Kitten would often hang out with each other as they started to grow a Friendship bond between One Another.

After growing such a Mutual Family with the Space Goofs for 2 Months, sadly, her own Shelter comes into an end when Etno had recently met one of the Neighbor Families (which happens to be the Owners of One of Star's Friends) as he signed Star for adoption to a Human Family which shocks the Entire Goofs but it also heartbreaks Star since they had made a promise to take care of her which clashes into an Argument as the Group wouldn't allow to take Star to any Human but Etno assures that it is best for Her if the Humans were to find out their true nature which causes Star to think that maybe Etno's right and that it is for the best to keep their own identity safe.

Regardless of the Disagreement, Star agrees to the adoption as she is now sold to one of her Friends' Owners but she proudly thanks Etno and his Crew for taking care of her as Star was now sold to her New Owners of Humans.

The Next Day when Star and her New Owners are on a Weekend Vacation near a Beach, a Bounty Hunter by the name of "Bolok" (who was hired by Mad Scientist, Dr. Saccharin) was said to capture both the Aliens and the Kitten so that the Scientist could have an experiment on the both of them as Bolok then sees the Family's House and suspects that this must be where the Aliens' Former Pet must be at.

When the Bounty Hunter arrives at the Door, he starts to ask the Family questions at first if they had noticed something suspicious about one of the Neighbors that being the Aliens themselves (which shocks Star as she hides behind the Furniture, fearing that maybe her Alien Friends have might been targeted for experimentation).

Tired of the Confusing Questions, Bolok starts to instantly freeze Star's Human Owners with an Ice Razer Gun which causes Star to hide from herself but when the Alien Assassin recognizes her for the very first time, the Kitten had to face up the Alien Hunter alone.

Bolok starts to ask Star such suspicious questions on what her Old Alien Friends had been up to through a plan this whole time as the Professional knew where exactly The Orange Kitten had been hiding from when he had heard that she was the last surviving member of her own Family and that the Aliens stole her away as he assumed that her own Talking Voice was from the Aliens who had been experimenting Her like a Test Animal.

Star denies on what Bolok is saying was Highly False as she was never meant to be a target that would lead to where the Space Goofs' true hideout is. Ignoring from the Actual Truth, as Bolok was about to kidnap the Orange Kitten to take her, Star's Puppy Friend (Cleo) instantly bites Bolok on the leg, causing him to scream (while accidentally blasting the Roof from the Vacation House) which causes Star to immediately run away from the Hunter through a Wild Chase scene of Many Hijinks throughout the Whole Chase but when Bolok instantly crashes into a Farm (mostly like with Chickens), Star adventures herself on the Road to get to the Space Goofs so she can warn them that they're being hunted.

Back at the Space Goofs' Neighborhood, when Star then returns to the Blue Mansion after a Wild Goose Chase, the Goofs are confused on why she came back after when they gave her a Last New Family of Humans to live in, but Star confronts them telling them that they're going to be captured by the Evil Scientists and their Bounty Hunter who founded her. Feared by the Dreadful News, Etno decides to come up with a Plan to stop the Alien Hunters from preventing into going into their own House, so they all team up to start doing some Booby Traps before the Bolok and Other Hitmen that Dr. Saccharin hired would come and get them.

When the Alien Hunters start to investigate the Entire House just to find on where the Aliens and their Cat are hiding, but that's when the Booby Traps come in as they easily step or come across in, things start to go wildly crazily as the Alien Hunters try to survive literally every hijink throughout the House's Traps until when nobody can survive through the Alien Traps, they all instantly leave and fail to capture them.

After the Whole Booby-Trap thing, the Gang were relieved that all of the Alien Hunters were out thanks to their Traps, However, one stood up and didn't get Booby-Trapped with them was Bolok as he quickly step in from behind and grabbed Star from the Back which shocks the Whole Goofs that One Last Hitman didn't get fall into their Traps. Failing to stand up to the Hunter, Bolok instantly points the Aliens with his Razer Gun as they all had to come outside of the Door to reveal themselves as the Kidnappers caught the Aliens (and the Cat) as they bring them to the Scientists but when Bud quickly opens the Truck Door, Star escapes, leaving the Aliens behind to get experimented.

Star fears that she doesn't make it in time to save them, they might get trapped forever. So she comes to Ambre Lou and asks her for Help after explaining on what happened. Agreeing upon this Deal, Ambre Lou calls all of Her Friends (as well as their own Pets) in a Mission to stop Dr. Saccharin before it's all too late.

The Rescuers managed to get inside of Area 52 (which is located around in the Desert) after a Long Road Trip Journey through the Spaceship that they've used from the Aliens' House as they were far away from the City, Ambre Lou's Friends along with their own Animal Companions managed to distract the Scientists while Star and Ambre Lou make a run for it. When The Goofs are inside of tubes, Dr. Saccharin is glad that Bolok had finally caught them after he ordered Igor to kick Bolok out without paying as Saccharin has plans to experiment the Five Aliens and then Blast their Home Planet (Zigma B) but when a Loud Sound disturbs the Doctor, Saccharin and Igor go and investigate it, only to find that there was Nothing there, being deeply unaware if it was the Kids and their Pets that were making all of that Noise. It all turns into a Big Huge Trap for the Scientists as they were completely locked out, thanks to one of Star's Friends as Star and Ambre Lou free the Space Goofs out of the Tube. As the Goofs are completely glad that they are being rescued, they realized on how that now they've got to get out of here before Saccharin even blasts their Original Home (meaning that they've got to stop the Evil Scientist first before quickly going back home).

But when the Space Goofs and their Animal Rescuers are all caught by the Evil Scientists and the Security Guards (who also caught the Human Rescuers), Dr. Saccharin (along with Igor who have both got out of their trap), is very unamused to see Children freeing the Aliens out in disappointment but his attention draws when he notices the Kitten that they've completely forgot about and that he realized that he should've have experimented on the Kitten first before he could get his stumpy little hands on the Aliens. Repulsed by this, The Space Goofs and Star immediately flee away from the Scientists after when Ambre Lou pulled the Lever as Saccharin and Igor fall in, which leads into a Gun Battle between the Kids & The Animals vs. The Adults, as The Space Goofs & their Kitten run in the Hallways to get into Dr. Saccharin's Space Ship.

They finally made it to the ship as the Goofs felt very excited about going Home using someone's Rocket, but Star feels very sad about this. Because she knows that when the Space Goofs go home, they may never see each other again but Etno assures Star that maybe she should join Ambre as she could take good care of her in a New Home, but that he promises that maybe someday they might see each other again in Flight once they're finally back in Space.

But they're are immediately stopped by Dr. Saccharin when he closes down the Door shut permanently through a button and grabs Star by the Neck, threatening to kill both the Kitten and the Aliens if they don't get back inside of their Test Tubes, he'll then Test Star in a Cage.

Having enough of this Whole Slavery for Testing, Candy immediately goes all "Mama Bear" on Saccharin as he attacks Saccharin like a Wild Animal by scratching his Face which causes the Mad Scientist to drop Star as Star hangs on tight to the Cliff Floor (which is near the Edge) as the Poor Kitten meowed for help, making the Space Goofs shocked in Horror as one of the Goofs (that being Etno) stood out and rescued Star as he grabbed her by the Paw, then, throws her up back on the Ground.

The Goofs quickly aboard to the Ship as they all get inside with Saccharin inside as the Whole Family were still in conflict with the Mad Scientist when the Ship began to start taking flight.

What they didn’t realize was that the Ship itself was somewhat a Bomb (not a Zillion within it, unlike the Game version) to blast the Space Goofs’ Home Planet with a lot of Toxicity that can easily kill the Space Goofs when they get back to their Home Planet, they’ll quickly die within the Bomb inside, in which they've realized that they're gonna be doomed of death along with their Home Planet. As Saccharin was about to take advantage of the Ship that they were in, Star instantly jumps up to scratch the Doctor to bite him to distract the Space Goofs so they needed to figure out how to stop the Bomb from dropping down on Zigma B. While a Big Huge Fight had to lash on out during the Flight takeover with the Scientist fighting against the Space Goofs with his own Ray Gun, Star instantly saves the Space Goofs’ lives from the Toxic Ship as she figured it out on how to stop the Bomb by using her intelligence, in order to stop the Bomb from dropping by pressing the correct buttons.

When the Ray Gun ran out of Power, Saccharin was about to hit either one of them but when he accidentally pulls down the Lever by mistake, it causes a Big Huge Split inside of the Spaceship to fall apart separately. The Aliens and Star quickly run up the ladder into the Capsule (the First Half to where it’s still Flying) whereas Saccharin (whose on the Second Half) falls down back on Earth where the Second Half explodes, managing to survive from the Crash but ends up getting arrested by the Police after when he betrayed Bolok (who called out on him).

As soon as the Goofs were fleeing back home, they instantly get hit by a Meteor once again as they crash down back to Earth.

After the Whole Incident of what had Happened, 5 Days Later, the Goofs were already back in their Blue Mansion after when Ambre Lou and Star had to recover their true identities when the Space Goofs told Ambre Lou everything about their truth as they had to keep a Huge Secret from their Neighborhood as it was only Ambre Lou and her Friends who only know about their Neighbors being Aliens and kept it as a Secret away from Everyone Else as a Major Promise.

While Star did had to stay with Ambre Lou for the Entire Week until all of the Kidnapping had to fade away from their Memories as they needed to relax for a brief while, Star really misses the Goofs that much as she feel as if though that throughout the entire time, they did felt like they were Owners to Her as she realized that maybe she already did found a Family of her own. She asks Ambre to leave her at the Space Goofs' front door as Star goes inside of the House with the Space Goofs watching her through their own Channel in the Attic, confused on why she came back.

She then explains her Whole Memories with them downstairs as the Aliens listen through every word that she said through a Camera and that she realized that she did had already found a Family all along and that all of this time, the Space Goofs were her true owners that she first fond when she was abandoned throughout her life while she did apologized of the whole Craziness last week as she understands their pain since she always had herself being kept from the World from her Mother. Feeling the Understanding and the Guilt that was behind them the Entire Time, the Goofs had change their mind as they all ran downstairs (just before Star was about to leave) as they convinced her to stay with us as they all changed their own Minds as they now wanted Star as their own Family Cat. Even Etno did realize that maybe he was truly wrong of selling Star to a Family of Humans the Entire Time. Finally welcomed in Arms, Star was happy of the Aliens accepting her as when the Next Day as they disguised themselves as Humans, they signed the Ownership of their New Animal as Star now lives with her Alien Family throughout her life and that someday, when they all ride home, she will be joining her own life on Space far from Earth.

This Old AU of Mine involved around this OC was technically the kind of "Character Gets Adopted and Grows a Mutual Relationship with Family" sort of thing, which I know happens a lot in Stories but I still love the Whole Adoption Family trope thing, even to this day. The Main Inspirations behind Star that I drew were Mowgli from Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book", Oliver from "Oliver Twist/Oliver and Company", Sophie from Roald Dahl's "The BFG", and even Janell Cannon's "Stellaluna".

As for her Anthro Form, I do have plans to develop what's more than just her Origin Story (especially with the Space Goofs) as I'll probably make develop more of My Own Third Fandom AU after my Second and First Ones.

Let's just say that after the Potion that she drank which gave her a Voice, she sooner or later becomes an Anthro throughout her Growth as she's the Town's "First Feral Animal to become Anthro".

Before anyone also dares to ask, considering that Me and @luci-the-stan-18 are sharing her for the sake of this Collaboration. Then Yes, Brady (Luci's OC) is her own Love Interest.

We're still keeping our OCXOC Couple idea but as soon as my Friend will make her own version of Star someday, she'll only use that personal version of hers in her own X-Over Multiverse AU, so we still ship Brady with Star (no matter what version) as this whole "Starverse" thing is our little Spiderverse thing.

Once More For the People in the Back:

- Lilo & Stitch is NOT about the evils of colonization.

It’s about a literal alien monster with no home coming to a planet and town where he doesn’t belong and being adopted as one of their own. Even after he destroys everything they love and build. Spin that into a metaphor for how terrible colonization is, if you can.

- Lilo & Stitch is NOT about the hardships people with dark skin inherently face.

It is about the hardships of people who lose family members and have to adjust to loving someone new. Nani is struggling to keep Lilo because she’s an 18 year-old orphan trying to play mom to a little sister who just needs someone to be her friend. She’s losing job opportunities because Lilo is trying to accept a destructive monster into their family with destructive results, not because she has dark skin.

- Lilo & Stitch is NOT about the evils of racism.

Lilo & Stitch is about an alien learning the meaning of family. Lilo explicitly demonstrates a hatred of tourists (not white people, just tourists, because Cobra Bubbles is implied to be a tourist in the same scene.) in one scene and that scene was deleted because it took the focus away from other scenes which made the point of the film more clearly. If a bad light is put on tourism, it’s to emphasize that Lilo has a problem with people leaving—”I remember everyone that leaves; I need someone who won’t run away; You came back; nobody gets left behind.”

And finally, drumroll please: 

-Lilo and Stitch is NOT about celebrating diversity.

Celebrating diversity is a fine message. It’s just not the one Lilo & Stitch is delivering. You’re thinking of Ice Age 4, where all kinds of animals make up a family; or Zootopia, where all all kinds of people can perform different jobs in society.

No. Lilo & Stitch is about what family means, and that is: unconditional love. Loving you at your worst and helping you to be better.

 The fact that the social worker is black, or male, has nothing to do with that main point. The fact that the Grand Councilwoman is female has nothing to do with the main point. The fact that one alien is skinny and one is fat has nothing to do with the main point. The fact that Nani and Lilo have dark skin has nothing to do with the main point—just like the fact that Stitch is blue has nothing to do with the main point.

Those factors might help in a peripheral way—(blue is the color the human brain associates with supernatural creatures; dark skin = Hawaiian = believably being brought up on the philosophy of ‘Ohana) —but you could still change any one of those things and it would remain Lilo & Stitch. 

By contrast, with a film that is actually about celebrating diversity like Ice Age 4, if you change the hedgehog into another mammoth you lose the point of the story. Or in Zootopia, if you make Judy and Nick both bunnies you lose the point of the story. Diversity is a fine point. Whatever. But it’s not the point of Lilo & Stitch. 

FORGET what you are hearing on Twitter in relation to the Live Action Movie. You can say what you want about how much you wish a certain shade of skin were representing the characters you love.

But if, to make your point, you try to argue that the original had ANYTHING to do with specific shades of color, demonstrating colonization and racism evils, or representing the hardships of POCs trying to get a job, you are being disingenuous. Or worse, you’re just tossing the real point of the movie carelessly over one shoulder so you can wedge a cause that it was never championing in where it doesn’t fit.

Try and make your point about how skin color and representation matters all you want, but you can’t honestly do it using the example the original movie set. The point of the original movie is just bigger and better than “skin colors should be given more attention.”

Meggy I've gotta stop, I know you just answered but I'm absolutely dying over Rhett Abbott!!!!! (lol).

Maybe a few very random thoughts, but I hope these will make you smile a little bit (lol).

Rhett's always had a few comfort books or movies growing up which are still his absolute favorites. Alot of it stems from when he was a kid and Perry would be an absolute asshole to him which pissed Royal off to every degree.

Rhett remembers being very, very little, like preschool/kindergarten age and crawling into Royal's lap at night. Royal would be dead-ass tired from being out with the hands all day and dealing with Perry's behavior issues but he'd always make time for Rhett. Rhett's favorite story that Royal would read to him was "The Indian In The Cupboard" and it was also one of his favorite movies. Rhett still has the whole book series and both he and Royal will read to the babies when nobody else can.

His comfort movies have always been stuff like Indiana Jones, The Goonies (especially The Goonies, he swears that the babies are gonna be the gang from that, lol), Legend (the 1985 Tom Cruise film) and 101 Dalmatians. Usually around Christmas it's "The Muppet Christmas Carol" and The Polar Express that are his go-tos.

You both adopted Amy when she was a baby. Literally from the moment she was born, you and Rhett took her to protect her from her birth parents and ever since then she called you and Rhett "momma and dada". When it came to movies, Amy is a Disney girlie through and through! She loves Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Cinderella and all the old school Disney movies just as much as she loves Lilo and Stitch as well as Frozen.

When Amy started school, you and Rhett sent her to one of those outdoorsy hippie schools because Rhett, Royal and Cecelia not only knew like half the teachers there, but they knew it would be awesome for Amy. Usually at those schools (I'm doing my teaching program for one) they have kids in the Early Childhood pick a symbol for their cubbies instead of having their name and Amy chose a bull-rider for hers because of Rhett.

Meggy I didn't wanna make this too long or too short and I don't like spamming the inbox immediately after somebody's answered, but I just can't help it (lol).

Mary my darling! thank you for sending in these Rhett thoughts :) i’ve had a rough day & these definitely made me smile.

my face instantly lit up at you mentioning the “Indian in the cupboard!” I remember reading the book in elementary school & watching the movie too! 🥰 also really liking the fact that some of Rhett’s comfort movies include Indiana Jones & the Goonies! & omg funny enough, i watched both the muppets christmas carol & the polar express the other night! haha :))

love the idea of reader and Rhett adopting Amy and bringing her under their wing. her calling you mama & Rhett dada is just :,) so precious! Amy being a disney girlie seems so fitting & i can relate! i dressed up as the princesses for halloween when i was little hehe☺️ the symbol on Amy’s cubby !!! Mary please!!! Amy choosing a bull-rider for Rhett couldn’t be more perfect 🥹 i love it so much. you have me smiling ear to ear thinking about this & boy did i need it today.

Mary, seriously thank you again for sending in these little thoughts. i always get a kick out of them & get so excited when i see you’ve left me something new in my box💕 you’re the best !

[luna-loveboop]

How did you choose your username? :D

Hiiiii :D

There is a lot of reasons, the main one is I'm a poet and love wordplay.

I also love the moon. Like a lot. Like have you seen the freaking moon like oh my gosh she's so cool look at her I love her-

For wordplay (I love words), my username is luna-lovegreat. Luna means moon. I love the moon. I have great love for the moon. My love for the moon, for Luna, is great. You get the idea <3

I have autism and love representation in media- with my characters who were simply meant to be weird and lovable. (I also named my service dog Stitch- after Lilo and Stitch because I relate to Lilo.) Luna lovegood is one of those characters I relate to so so much and adore, so it softly references her as well. She showed my childhood self that weirdness is worth loving.

My first priority is showing kindness. I have considered changing it since I want nothing to do with the hp fandom, and do not want to remind anyone of something that hurts them. So if I come up with a different username sometime that makes me as happy I may change it so long as it has love and the moon :))

Have I mentioned that I love the moon yet :D

But yeah! Wordplay, my fave autism character, and the MOON, and saying I love the moon, like it's the moon I LOVE THE MOON

My love for the moon is great so it's fitting I think :)))

[sqebu]

Best and Worst representation of Native Women/girls in media you had growing up?

It's a bit up to personal taste because I have a real preference for characters that "just happen to be Native" whether or not it’s a huge part of their personality. Eg. I liked Jesse from Infinity Train but some Indigenous people didn't think his culture was included enough.

As a side note there is like...no Coast Salish rep specifically that I grew up with. And though pan-Indigeneity is an issue, I do think we can all relate over similar experiences and post-contact shared culture.

It's also worth noting there just wasn't much rep when I grew up in the late 90's-early 00's. Some was good but it was mostly absent which, along with growing up surrounded by white people after we left the rez, made me really hate my features and background. People say "kids don't care about rep!!" but my "self-inserts" as a kid were blonde, blue-eyed white girls and I wanted invasive plastic surgery on my Native features well into my 20's : ))))) So : )

(Also keep in mind I only liked shows without real people until I was around 20 because I have uhhh undiagnosed something)

Under cut because I talk too much:

Best first:

I'm not Native Hawaiian but I think Lilo and Nani were good, and the problems they dealt with are things I and many Natives can sadly relate to (child protection constantly breathing down their necks, being ripped away from family). I've also seen Native Hawaiians say it was decent rep. Also there were aliens and they were good characters in their own right. I loved them!! I love that film!! There is an issue with the character designer being a white guy who is weird about Hawaiian women……but the writing itself is good.

I grew up with Tipi Tales which was a puppet show about an Ojibwe family and I enjoyed watching it in the wee hours as a kid. Some Canadians call it 'creepy looking' but I don't experience the uncanny valley so I just liked it. I looked like the younger girl as a little kid lol.

Avatar the Last Airbender and the water tribe were cool!!! I love Katara, even if some of the fandom has been weirdly critical of her. She's 14 and has too much responsibility and trauma, guys...come one. Also I love Korra although I only watched LoK as an adult. People also weirdly hate her?! Mostly men though.

Worst or not great:

Most other things Disney put out, ESPECIALLY Pocahontas. Still grinds me today that they romanticized a real little girl's trauma in that gross way.

I did have a huge crush on Chel but El Dorado has a ton of issues like demonizing Indigenous culture and oversexualizing her. Sure she awakened something in ME which is neutral, but also in people who grew up to see Native women as lesser humans or objects so...net negative.

Emperor's New Groove is definitely not culturally accurate but Yzma slays and I love her. Not a “worst” thing I just want to mention her ftftft.

Uh, overall I'm just happy there's so much MORE decent rep now in kids' media. Current examples:

(L->R Molly Mabray, Jesse Cosay, and Charles Little Bull)

(2 are dudes but you get where I'm going with it. I especially love Charles because he's just...a nerd. I'm happy that we get to be awkward nerd side characters now, it's so real to me.)

Also I see Simon Petrikov as Indigenous/mixed Indigenous (several possibilities, even Salish) which I won't go into here but I can. No one can change my hc btw.

[yellowhollyhock]

What do y’all think the turtles favorite kids movies would be (not their favorite movies as kids but their favorite kids movies that they still like as adults. If that makes any sense)?

Leo: Treasure Planet

Because he loves adventure! And it’s literature! (He loves the book itself and the Muppet adaptation as well). And it’s about space! He’s been to space! And the actual reason is the father-son themes. The way Jimbo so desperately needs a dad would 1) remind Leo of himself, not because he lacks that but because it resonates with him how important that relationship is and 2) make him want to adopt this angry teenager trying to save his family and the world by himself not that it reminds him of anyone.

I do think Jimbo would remind him of both himself and Raph. He’s 15 when his adventure starts too. He would love that there are elements that would make him think of each brother (Mikey probably said ‘go Delbert, go Delbert,’ to hype himself up for literally everything for at least a couple days every time they watched it, Donnie would simultaneously love Delbert and find him annoying, wow it’s mostly Delbert huh). Besides let’s be real Captain Amelia is his idol. At 12 he wanted to be just like her when he grows up and he still wants to just like her when he’s 16, 24, 30 etc.

Raph: Brother Bear

This one took me the longest to settle on, but I do think this is Raph’s movie. Coming of age, what masculinity means, sibling bonds, the devastation of losing a family member, being afraid of other people wanting to hurt you and your loved ones only to have to face the monster within yourself. The fact that Denahi blames Kenai for Sitka’s death, I think would cut Raph deep (he’s afraid of failing to protect or maybe even accidentally hurting people he cares about, he’s also afraid of rejection and judgment). Kenai facing up and taking responsibility for his mistakes (which are really the mistakes of his entire people) would hit a chord with him for sure, and overall the themes of forgiveness. He would find Koda soooo annoying and also immediately love him soooo much. The themes of the spirit world would secretly make him think about Hamato Yoshi and the connection he and his brothers have with him.

He would pretend to hate the two moose, but yet he is the one who keeps picking this movie… (squints suspiciously)

Donny: The Iron Giant

This was my initial thought and I tried to dismiss. I said to myself, girrrl that’s so surface level, he wouldn’t just pick the movie with a cool robot, dig a little deeper and find something with jokes he’d laugh at and themes that’d resonate with him.

But the thing is. It’s Iron Giant. Themes of greed vs innocence, war vs peace? Donny always gets those types of side quests, like how close he is with Fugitoid and the aliens him and April found Augie. He’s the dreamer; the possibility of a peaceful world is on his mind and in his motivations. There’s also Hogarth feeling socially isolated because he’s so smart, which you know Don’s situation is pretty different but still, there’s definitely some relatability there. And plus guys, the Iron Giant not understanding where he came from, not knowing if he has a soul or not—super relevant to the turtles, and particularly Don who was the first to recognize the TCRI initials (and therefore in my heart the one who has been most consistently curious about his origins). Interesting thing too—Donny does seem to worry about Splinter and worrying about his mom is definitely an important thing going on with Hogarth. Then there’s Dean, who I think would remind him of Kirby. It’s a movie that invites further research too, it really places itself in history. Don would love both researching and lecturing whoever makes the mistake of watching it with him (poor Angel lol she is not prepared).

And in the end, it’s a cool freaking robot. He would absolutely be obsessing over the design and doodling ideas about making his own.

Mikey: Lilo and Stitch

I think our monster movie connoisseur would love the idea of Stitch. Jumba and Pleakley is his otp of all time. He tells everyone he loves the movie for Pleakley’s head getting eaten and Lilo’s photography and voodoo and Stitch taunting Captain Gantu with his butt against the window, and yeah it is very much his brand of humor. But everyone knows he cries at the ugly duckling scene absolutely without fail, and usually the wishing on a star theme, and definitely the “this is my family.” Found family is something all the turtles would appreciate in art but I think especially Mikey. That and, he loves quoting entire scenes. Especially the tuna fish sandwich scene, Bubble’s first visit, and Jumba’s chase down with Stitch (“oh good, my dog found the chainsaw”).

Also he loves the music. I mean who doesn’t?

[sophieinwonderland]

Here's an ask that (probably) stands out: Tell us, your followers, about a time where you or someone else from your system rolled a natural 20. (Figuratively speaking.)

Ghost: Soph spent a long time trying to figure out a good answer to this and drew blanks. She did come up with several but they all seemed too boring to her. So I'll snag this one.

And share a picture of my Maleficent!

I don't collect Funko Pops. Never had even the slightest interest in them. But Maleficent here is surprisingly one of my most cherished possessions.

Something you need to know about me is that I don't put myself out there. Ever. I like Reddit because it's safe. Nobody knows who I am there. Nobody even remembers my user name. Even on here, there's a reason I was more than happy just being known as "the host" for the first year of Soph's blog, only settling on Ghost when we decided to have a system blog.

The few times I've tried to dip my toes into something, I get scared and back out.

Being like I am, I don't actually have many accomplishments to speak of.

But I do have this one so I'm going to talk about it.

Some years back, I signed up with a fan website called... um... you know, I can't for the life of me remember what that site was called.

But that doesn't matter. There was a fan website where you could post articles, and I had recently read about The Disney Theory. This theory attempted to link together all Disney movies into a shared universe, using cameos from the various films to tie them together.

Now I grew up in the 2000s, with cartoons like Lilo & Stitch, Kim Possible and American Dragon: Jake Long. All of these shows crossed over, placing them in the same universe. And with Lilo and Stitch, they could be linked to the wider shared Disney Universe.

In American Dragon: Jake Long, there was a character called The Dark Dragon. As you can see here:

The Dark Dragon's color scheme bears a striking resemblance to a classic Disney villain. I'm sure you can guess who.

The Dark Dragon ends up getting a makeover in season 2 with a different color scheme with the purple replaced by dark blue, but the sharp purple spikes on his back get replaced with jutting black spines resembling Maleficent's dragon form.

They clearly wanted the Dark Dragon to retain his Maleficent influence, even if in a different way.

Additionally, Maleficent functions like the dragons in ADJL, having both a normal form and a dragon form.

Working off of these intentional design motifs and their connection through the Disney Theory, I theorized that the two were related somehow.

The theory that I presented was that Maleficent is the half-fairy daughter of the Dark Dragon.

And she likely would have been the World Dragon of her area. A World Dragon is a dragon that presides over a specific country in ADJL. I don't recall if the term "world dragon" is used in the show or if it's just a fan term, but the concept is very much present in the show. It's why Jake isn't just an American dragon, but he's "The American Dragon."

This would further contextualize Maleficent anger at being snubbed from Aurora's birth. World Dragons are supposed to be guardians of the magical. And during this period, humans and magical creatures were closely connected. One would imagine that a World Dragon would be highly respected, making it a severe insult when lesser fairies (who she refers to as "rabble") are invited but Maleficent is snubbed.

The site's staff would select a number of articles every week for their top list, and mine made it!

And then they sent this Maleficent Funko Pop with a letter congratulating me for making it into the top 16.

It may not be a huge accomplishment, but I'm proud of it. And I think it was really cool of them to personalized the Funko Pop to what the article was about.

To someone else, that Maleficent is a $10 toy. But to me, it's a trophy.

Unfortunately, despite common wisdom, things on the internet are not, in fact, forever. I believe the site I posted that theory on no longer exists today. But I still have my Maleficent.

[drdavidhuxley]

Because I recently went to see WDAS' most recent film, Wish, and because it's their centennial, and because I'm currently listening to a mega-draft podcast of the films, here are my Top Ten Walt Disney Animation Studios films (not my list of personal favorites, the top ten films I would say are the top ten best of the canon):

Beauty and the Beast (1991) - an assuredly told version of the story, an outstanding score, stellar cast and voice work paired with great animation, a highlight of the medium of animation

Pinocchio (1940) - this was their second one out of the gate! i mean there's so much to admire: the shot of jiminy's perspective as he hops to geppetto's shop, the overhead shot of the town, the horror of lampwick turning into a donkey, the monstro chase, everything with figaro and cleo!!!

Sleeping Beauty (1959) - they set out to create a literal moving work of art and they did it. the tchaikovsky score and gorgeous painted backgrounds, PLUS you got The Golden Girls raising a child in the woods, "And now you shall deal with me O Prince, and all the powers of Hell!" FUCK.

101 Dalmatians (1961) - I watched this in its entirety for the first time as an adult after previously only seeing part of it once or twice and I never knew how fucking tight of a film this is. So tightly told. And it looks exciting and charming. A real gem from the studio.

Cinderella (1950) - the part when the grand duke is talking to the king about how the prince would react if the girl of his dreams showed up to the ball and they show the prince reacting to cindy walking into the ballroom, good shit. the message of "a dream is a wish your heart makes" gets a bad rap, but it's a pretty song and sentiment. also this movie has one of my favorite animated scenes where lady tremaine wakes up the stepsisters to tell them about the slipper and cinderella slowly realizes she danced with the prince the night before and she has this dreamy look on her face and then lady tremaine figures what's up and they pull in on her glowing green eyes and it's over for her. also I think this is one of the most gorgeous and elegant animated films. cinderelly, cinderelly!

The Little Mermaid (1989) - this probably wouldn't be on my list a few years ago, but with the live action adaptation this year and its entry into the National Film Registry, I've been reconsidering this movie and it's such a joyous and ✨ magical ✨ animated work with an emotional center that connects with so many who watch it. the YEARNING. ashman understood it. also, glen keane's (i believe he animated this part?) animation on the part of your world reprise is glorious with that fucking hair, pat carroll and the design of ursula, a heavenly match. and menken's delightful score. it's so good.

Aladdin (1992) - this is actually my number one personal fave, it's the VHS tape I watched the most growing up, but I think this is a good placement for it. It's beautiful to look at, it's a full-fledged animated comedy, it's the last of howard ashman's contributions, "friend like me" is one of the best animated sequences ever, aladdin was my first animated crush, i still stan jasmine, it spawned a pretty terrific spinoff series, jonathan freeman's cackle is the best villain cackle, and of course, robin. also, ron clements and john musker are kings.

Lilo & Stitch (2002) - the more time passes, the more I think this film proves itself to be a grand achievement in the canon. the amount of sentiment is just right, stitch is an entertaining creation and his connection with lilo is relatable, i mean the ending scene always gets me with the "it's broken but still good", also the fact that not another film in the canon looks like this one makes it stand out. and the ending shot of stitch's picture attached to the weathered family photo, ugh. it's also a love letter to "weird little kids". i love it.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) - i mean, yeah. it's scary, it's silly, the queen's transformation into the hag still rules. "one song" is an underrated song.

The Emperor’s New Groove (2000) - this movie is legendary. the story of how it came to be is insane. i read that there is actually no completed screenplay of the movie??? that's how much they had to scramble to put this together? i would also put this on a list of great comedy films. eartha kitt, eartha kitt. i don't know what things would look like if we actually got kingdom of the sun, but we are so lucky to have this hilarious movie.

[crow-posting]

Publicly defining my OCs' relations bc I forgor. Enjoy my disaster Awoken (and robot).

The Awoken Brigade

RZ and Takara: Lilo and Stitch. Dolores and Camilo. siblings who will flip each other off when entering and turn off the lights when exiting, but can't eat alone because it "feels wrong." and RZ may be the Young Wolf but the only thing Takara is jealous of is his height.

RZ and Avraam: queerplatonic. a boy and his cat. Avraam is enamored with RZ and RZ loves Avraam so much that he helped revive him twice Allows This™. everything and nothing has changed between them since the Yang Liwei.

RZ and Riley: RZ doesn't have a set opinion on Riley, since Riley is a New Light, but RZ was the one who brought Arsträd's (Riley's) body back from the Dreadnaught so. 👀

Takara and Avraam: Takara had a crush on Avraam on the Yang Liwei and she's finally got him!! and Avraam is just happy to have a girlfriend after all these years. Corgi and Saint Bernard vibes.

Avraam and Riley: Avraam was a "friend of a friend" with Arsträd [before he died] and that dynamic hasn't changed much with Riley. Avraam does mentor Riley whenever he can, as Riley has found himself a bit of an outcast with other Awoken.

bonus

RZ and Crow: queerplatonic, maybe mutual pining, definitely complicated. Uldren aside, RZ had(?) crush on Crow and never figured out if it was romantic; and Crow admires RZ deeply but insists it's "like a bromance." the situation gets even more complicated when RZ's [definitely romantic] crush on Ada and Crow's relationships with Jolyon / Amanda (and @onyeenhok's OC Mitch) are factored in. they'll figure it out... maybe.

[crossover-enthusiast]

HEHEHE WAIT

Just a cute lil idea for Radford X Tom: Tom thinks of Radford so much to the point where that anytime they have like a movie night together, she spends hours trying to think of a Disney movie he hasn't seen yet that he'd like just cuz she wants to impress him /lh

Awww heheh!!

Kinda related but I think they should watch Lilo & Stitch at some point I think that'd be a fun movie for Kevin

[sweeteastart]

💫KHOCWEEK 2023💫

Day 2 - New World

@khoc-week

Sika

Who's this but my girl Sika ! A bit about this drawing :

Sika is a very free spirited and adventurous teen. She loves to ran right into the unknown without looking back. With this joyful but impulsive personality of her's, who else than Terra could ground her yet still let her enjoy the experience ?

I can easily picture Sika insisting they land on Lilo's and Stitch world to see the beautiful scenery. Terra obviously would end up folding because he relates to her sheltered childhood and wants her to experience new thing.

This piece was quite a challenge for me as I never ventured to drawing lilo and stitch before ahah

Bunny

The routine of the Vulpes union was all around rather boring for teenagers : taking note of the day's mission, going into some world they already visited hundreds of times before, collecting the bare minimum of lux and going back home black and blue from the fights against various heartless. Bunny couldn't say she hated it.

After all, once in a while, she could team up with her brother or friends. It was always fun to spend time with either even if the whole fighting for her life part wasn't the most relaxing. She felt stuck in a way in this rut, this ever ending circle that never stopped. For years now she has led this existence. The girl wasn't even fifteen and she already felt bored of the responsibilities and expectations everyone had of her.

Walking down a flowery path, she couldn't help but glance at her surroundings. This forest was simply breathtaking. Greenery upon greenery grew out of control, savage yet surreal in its beauty. She wondered when was the last time she came about such a beautiful world before. In the little time she had been exploring, she had seen numerous sceneries. Most were gorgeous… Well, really, all of them were for a child who grew up in a small coastal town.

Her eyes followed the tree seams, the grass paths, the little leaves falling from the sky. She was hypnotized. The nature was calm, birds singing far away. A new and foreign place. That's when she heard it. The splash of water. The slight rustling of someone nearby.

Her instincts kicked in before she even thought about it. Silently, heels barely touching the dirt, she moved towards the sounds. She had nailed the silent walk a while back. It was always a blessing to take vermin by surprise. It also made the job easier when she ran into trouble.

Before she saw her, her voice blessed her ears. The voice of an angel. Loud and clear, a song coming straight from a pure heart.

Jet black hair, as deep as crown feathers. It draped around her fair skin and round face like water. A soft face, smooth like a baby. Long ink coloured lashes stretched out to the infinity just on top of her deep eyes. It was like staring at the night sky during a new moon. The light twinkled in her big, doe eyes as she gazed toward Bunny.

If she didn't know any better, the Keyblade wielder would have thought of her as a goddess who descended straight to earth. Naively, unaware of the danger of a stranger suddenly appearing, the kid smiled largely.

"Hi" she said, a hand still in the river's cold water. "Who might you be ?"

For a moment, Bunny didn't know what to say. So she didn't. She opened then shut her mouth numerous times before words finally came to her. "Bunny"

It was all she could muster yet the girl who looked barely thirteen laughed. Not in a locking way but a loving way. Only with that, this little thing, the wielder knew she wanted to protect this smile.

"Happy to meet you, Bunny. My name's Snow white."
