Sharing a Laugh

Oh golly jee willickers, look at that, I drew more OC shipping content! Blame me getting into Pokeshipping for that (specifically just one person's interpretation of it), I ended up using some art of it for reference. Anyways, the best relationships are always best friends to lovers, and they still act like best friends even after they start dating soooo, why not draw Jack and Rose Red just sharing a laugh as friends? I just think it's nice :>

I did it! The great endeavor I began, five years ago, to rewrite every Austen novel blended with a fairy tale is DONE. You can now reexperience all/moments of your favorite Austen moments, but now with elemental magic and cursed princes!

Feels a bit weird to say goodbye to the books that have consumed me for two years straight, but I'm also so excited that these stories can now be read and loved by everyone!

They're all right here. Check 'em out. Also, Thornrose Estate is 99 cents right now for ... reasons.

The Fairest One of All (WIP)

The Fairest One of All Prologue

Once upon a time, in the kingdom of Oblivion, lived a King and Queen whose kindness and wisdom flourished the land. Although they were praised highly by their people, the two rulers longed to have a child of their own.

One winter night while the Queen sat by the window, sewing in her chair, she accidentally pricked her finger and watched as three drops of blood fell onto the snow that covered the window frame. Forming the shape of a rose, the Queen found beauty within the strange sight and quietly prayed to the Heavens for a child as white as snow, red as a rose, and as black as the wood of the frame around the window.

Soon after her prayer, the Queen found herself pregnant and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl with skin as white as snow, lips as red as a rose, and hair as black as ebony. Unfortunately, the Queen became deathly ill after giving birth, and before taking her last breath, she named the child Xion. The King, while happy to have a daughter of his own, silently wept for his deceased wife. He missed her greatly and soon became depressed as the months passed.

After a year had passed the King took another wife. She was a beautiful woman with blonde hair reaching just above her shoulders, and eyes that shined like cyan waters. Her name was Larxene, and although her appearance seemed genuine, her heart was not. Larxene was a very proud and haughty woman, and envied anyone whose appearance seemed to surpass her in beauty.

To ease her mind, she bestowed a wonderful magic mirror with a rim of pure gold and lined with different cuts of jewels, and when she stood in front of it and looked at herself, she would say--

"Magic Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of all?"

And the Magic Mirror would respond--

"You, My Queen, are the fairest of all."

Larxene would then be satisfied, for she knew that the mirror spoke only the truth.

But Xion was growing up, and grew more and more beautiful as the years passed.

At the age of six, a travesty struck the kingdom as the King fell victim to a horrible sickness. Xion stayed by her father's bedside to help ease his pain in any way she could, but unfortunately, after the third day, the King passed away. With the King now gone, Larxene ruled over the land with an iron fist and the lives of the people in Oblivion became miserable. Without the comfort of her father, Xion grew very alone as Larxene forbade her to mingle with others.

Though she was forbidden, Xion could not stand the look of distraught on her people's faces, and tried her best to help them whenever she could. Through the kindness of her heart, the townspeople took notice of their little princess and grew hopeful for the future.

Now, at the age of sixteen, Xion's appearance changed even more. The beauty within the girl's heart started to make itself known as servants and the townspeople marveled in awe at the fine young lady their princess was becoming. Larxene, however, also took notice of Xion's differences and snarled at the attention she was getting. Fearful that the girl could one day take her place as the fairest one of all, Larxene banished Xion to the servant quarters and dressed her in dirty rags and made her work from sunrise to sunset; believing, that by doing this, she could break whatever beauty Xion possessed within her.

But whispers ran wild through Oblivion and reached the ears of young suitors from other kingdoms about a beautiful maiden who lived within the walls of a shining castle.

School Assignment, we had to design some characters of an existing short story and illustrate a scene. I chose the fairytale "Snow-White and Rose-Red" I like the sister's full designs so it was a bit of a shame how you can't see much of it :7

The following is the scene described in the story;

The bear said, "Here, children, knock the snow out of my coat a little;" so they brought the broom and swept the bear's hide clean; and he stretched himself by the fire and growled contentedly and comfortably. It was not long before they grew quite at home, and played tricks with their clumsy guest. They tugged his hair with their hands, put their feet upon his back and rolled him about, or they took a hazel-switch and beat him, and when he growled they laughed. But the bear took it all in good part, only when they were too rough he called out, "Leave me alive, children,

"Snowy-white, Rosy-red, Will you beat your lover dead?"

Some BG design concept art of Snow-White and Red-Rose because it's satisfying ❤️

You can tell I'm not a painter

I paint like a broken foot and some might think it's ugly but this is so fun to do 😭

BG design is so pretty but it's so hard to do fr, now I upgraded thanks to my encanto fanfiction (because I had to create rooms and all) but it's still difficult, mostly because of the colors 🥲

I love them so much, this is my chill story and I adore it

My actual favorite fairytales are ones having to do with curses, getting turned into a beast, or accidentally/willingly/any-reason-ly marrying a beast or demon or monster. Prince Lindworm is one of my most favorite-est favorites. I had a pet corn snake at one point who I called Prince Lindworm (his real name was Slinky though). Other faves off the top of my head are East of The Sun, West of The Moon, The Demon in The Tree, and Featherflight.

"Mooooooom! Jack and Rose Red are kissiiiiiiiiiiing!!"

Sometimes you don't have a good idea for a big illustration, so you just draw cute shit with your OCs. It's been very therapeutic for me, as I've been kinda going through it, but that's neither here nor there. Here's some cute Jack x Rose Red content for... the two or three of y'all here who followed me for my OC content. I like calling their ship "StorybookShipping" btw, I like giving ships that I like Pokemon ship names (like: PokeShipping, RocketShipping).

[laurasimonsdaughter]

What if Disney adapted Snow White and Rose Red?

You know I'm really not sure. I've never known what to make of this story... It feels much more like a children's story than a folktale, which would track with the theory that this is a literary fairy tale from the early 19th century that later passed into oral tradition (like Beauty and the Beast).

This story does not seem to focus on anything long enough for it to become the Theme. Not the differences between the girls, not the dwarf, not the bear. I don't dislike it, I just don't get it, I guess

The Fairest One of All (WIP) #3

a/n: I apologize for my slow progress with this story. I honestly haven't been able to work on it due to some slight writer's block, lol. Let's just say I'm having to go back and re-outline the story again. But anyways, it's not much but here's another WIP from Chapter 1 that I have written out. I'll do my best to get the chapter completed. Hope you enjoy! 🤍

The Fairest One of All Chapter 1 (WIP 2)

A quietness fell over them as Xion lifted the bucket out of the well, now full of water. Carefully, she made her way over to the steps and set the bucket down. Taking a block of soap and a brush from the pocket of her apron, she bent down on her knees and placed the two objects into the water. Once the brush was full of soap, she started her long journey of cleaning the steps.

Kairi sat down on one of the stone railings, placing her elbows on her knees, hands balled into fists as they lay against her cheeks. She quietly observed Xion as she started to work on her chores, sapphire blue eyes dimming as a thought suddenly occurred to her. "Do you think they could be talking about you?"

Xion briefly stopped her movements as she glanced over at the redhead. "Who?"

Kairi gestured towards the castle doors. "The Kings and Queens who have come to visit. What if they're asking about you? That could be a reason why Larxene gets so upset after having those meetings."

"Why would they ask about me?" Xion asked, going back to scrubbing the stairs.

Kairi tilted her head in thought. "Well, if you think about it, you are of the age to start looking for a future husband. They could be requesting to have you court their sons and hopefully make an alliance with their kingdom."

Xion almost knocked over the bucket of water, clearly taken aback by what her friend had suggested. Marriage? Courting? She never thought about these things before. Given her current situation, she did not think she'd be able to meet, let alone, date anyone when Larxene had control of her life. It was like she was locked in a cage and the only person with the key was her stepmother.

But, if what Kairi said was true, wouldn't Larxene like the idea of marrying her off? She would have to leave Oblivion to get acquainted with her future husband. She'd be out of her stepmother's way then, right? So why keep her here? Why refuse a proposal of marriage that could help Oblivion flourish in the future?

Did her stepmother hate her so much that the thought of not having her under her thumb anymore disgust her? Was she truly that wicked of a person to refuse Xion any kind of freedom, let it be small or big?

No. Xion did not want to think like that. It would hurt too much if that was the truth. Surely, there was another reason why Larxene was so hard on her. There had to be.

Shaking her head, Xion dumped her brush in the water again. "I guess it could be a possibility."

"You don't seem that interested in it."

"I haven't really thought about it before."

Kairi's eyes widened as she stood up straighter. "What, you mean dating?" At Xion's nod, the redhead shook her head in disbelief. "Seriously? You never once thought about meeting someone and falling in love before? Someone who could help you escape?"
