Idk what happened but I woke up last Monday wanting to draw a 10th kingdom au for no discernible reason and SUDDENLY LIKE 2 OTHER WWDITS FOLK HAD THE SAME IDEA?? Sometimes a hive mind is TOO strong

(ID in alt and under cut)

ID: Sketch dump in red of Nandor and Guillermo as Wolf and Virginia, respectively, from the 2000s NBC miniseries "The 10th Kingdom". 1. Guillermo dressed in his trenchcoat over a zip up hoodie over a dark collared shirt, laying on his back on a narrow box bed with his eyes closed. Nandor, wearing a long coat with a ruffled collar and sleeves over a loose linen top and with his hair half up and tucked behind his ears, is crouched beside him with both arms propped up on the edge of the box, smiling down at him with hooded eyes. Nandor says, "and then a really cool, handsome prince comes by and he says "wow, what a rascal!" Guillermo snorts, tamping down a smile as he tries to continue to look asleep. 2. Close up of Nandor taking Guillermo by the shoulders and bringing him close with a wide, besotted smile. He says, "Guillermo, you make me all hard and soft at the same time!" Guillermo is staring at him, wide-eyed and confused, blushing. 3. Knees-up of Guillermo and Nandor sitting side by side, Guillermo sans trenchcoat and Nandor with his hair down and a visible wolf's tail curled up between them. Guillermo is looking down at the tail with some interest, petting it with one hand. Nandor has both hands clasped in his lap and his shoulders up by his ears, looking away with a silly wobbly smile and flushed cheeks. 4a. Knees up of Nandor striking a princely pose, one hand pressing fingertips to his chest and the other extended upward, palm up, as he shouts with a grin, "Rapunzel, let down your lustrous locks!" 4b. Repeat, a thick wave of shiny dark hair flops down on him from above. 5. Hips up of Nandor from behind as he braces both hands on a wooden post, shoulders hunched. His nails have formed long claws that are gouging into the wood, and the full moon is visible beyond. He looks over his shoulder, hair loose and wild, eyes glowing as his face contorts into something feral and hungry. 6. Full body of Nandor, sans jacket, skipping happily along with his chin and blouse stained with blood, flowers dancing around his head and tail bobbing along behind him. 7. Chest up of Guillermo trapped in a medieval style chair, sans trenchcoat. Nandor is standing behind him, one arm draped along the back of the chair and the other propping him up as he leans, palm out placatingly as he asks with a grin, "Don't you trust me?" Guillermo looks over his shoulder and leans away as much as possible, nervous, baffled, and angry all at once. He spits back, "No!! You tried to eat my grandmother!" At this angle we can see Nandor has a hoop in his right ear. 8. Knees up of Nandor and Guillermo standing side by side, showing off some closer details of their outfits. Nandor is smiling with a fang poking out between his lips, hands twiddling together at his waistline as he peeks over at Guillermo from the corner of his eye. Guillermo glances back at him, wary and flushed, pulling his arm up towards his chest to avoid Nandor's tail, which is wagging hard and thumping against Guillermo's side. Text nearby points to Nandor and says "wolf", and points to Guillermo and says "virgin". 9. Nandor and Guillermo sitting side by side in the back of a wagon, reading self-help books. Nandor aims an excited glance at Guillermo, biting back a silly grin. His book is titled "How To Fall In Love Without Acting Like a Freak About It." Guillermo is hunched over, eyes on his book with a kind of weary and hopeless expression. His book is titled "Become UnGovernable without compromising your morals" /end ID

The “10th Kingdom” is one of my favorite series, I rewatched it for +100500 times. And yeah, Wolf, played by stunning Scott Cohen, is definitely my crush since childhood 🫠

Whoever was in charge of the costume department for The 10th Kingdom, I just want to say bless you and I hope you and your children have good health and happiness for 100 years because of your commitment to make Scott Cohen as hot and prince charming-coded as possible. Y'all fed us SO well.

Edward Woodward wore this page costume and its duplicates as Drunlo and various extras playing Lilliputian pages in the 1996 NBC miniseries Gulliver’s Travels, starring Ted Danson in the title role. They later appeared as the uniforms of the 4th Kingdom royal court pages in the 2000 miniseries The 10th Kingdom, which also appeared on NBC.

So, Disney is coming out with a live action Snow White...

I'm not really going to comment on that, tbh. I haven't really watched or read up on anything concerning this live action take on the story and character. BUT, I do want to take a moment to shout out my favorite live action version of Snow White.

It's the version of this character from the Hallmark mini-series "The 10th Kingdom." In this version we get a grown, adult Snow White who takes on a Fairy Godmother/protector role of the MC, Virginia. The message she gives to Virginia is so moving and empowering. It has stuck with me for ages - ever since I was a child.

The series and this scene highlights the character's warmth and kindness, but there is more there too. She provides guidance and aid - her role is protective and more in the background, but still very proactive.

This is such a beautiful scene and "The 10th Kingdom" is such an amazing mini-series that takes these fairytales (mainly the Grimm versions of them) and really brings them to life in a realistic and tangible way. If you've never watched "The 10th Kingdom," please do! The world building and character writing in it is fantastic, while the mix of CGI and practical effects is cheesy and charming in all of the right ways!
