The Beau and The Beast

So I watched Beauty and The Beast for the childhood memories and then this happened. Enjoy my descent to insanity and stupidity :)

---------

To think that this would happen to him. Why, oh why must he go through such things? Luigi’s thoughts were nothing short of a mess as he sat on the queen sized bed in the chamber he was given. ‘Give’, right, he wasn’t given this room, he was imprisoned in it. All because he was too foolish to see the signs when staying around that cursed bat. All he wanted was a friend that could understand him yet here he was. Trapped in a castle, away from anyone he knew or could trust, all because Antasma had ‘fallen in love’ with Luigi. This isn’t love, it’s anything but that.

Luigi heard a soft knock on the door so he quietened down his sobbing to ask, “W-Who is it…?”

“It iz Abnus, my lord. May I come in?” asked the person outside.

Ah, so that’s who it was. Abnus was the Antasman that was assigned to take care of Luigi, like a personal servant. He didn’t exactly need a servant and it wasn’t the best feeling having someone following him around every time he set foot out of this room but they were nice company when he needed someone to speak with for a while.

Luigi opened the door and looked down at the Antasman.

“Is everything alright?” asked Luigi.

“Why of course. However, hiz majesty haz ordered your presenze in zhe dining hall for dinner, my lord” spoke Abnus with a smile.

Luigi frowned at this and crossed his arms, “No”.

Abnus blinked in surprise. Did he hear him correctly? “I-I’m sorry, my lord, but I may have mizheard. Did you perhapz say ‘no’?”

“You heard me correctly, I will not be coming down to dine with him,” with that, Luigi shut the door before Abnus could say another word.

The poor Antasman sighed and reluctantly made his way back to the dining hall, “Ohh, hiz majesty will not be happy about zhis…”

And indeed he wasn’t. Antasma was already pacing in the dining hall, his claws behind his back and his cape fluttering softly behind him with how much he paced. He was growing impatient, wondering what was taking so long.

“Vhat’s taking so long? I told him to come down. Vhy isn’t he here yet?!” growled Antasma impatiently.

“Please try to be patient, your majesty. The poor man has lost his family and freedom all in a single day,” one of his bat maids tried to reason with him.

“Freedom? I have given him enough of it. I’ve given him full access to zhis castle as if it is his home and provide him vith all the luxuries a king can have for his own self!” shouted Antasma, making the flinch back in fear. The servant next to her took that as his cue to act.

“Sire, please. Such manners will not bring you closer to his heart. The poor lad is scared, he needs stability, safety, someone he can trust. Why not try to charm him a bit, bring his guard down and take things slowly?” suggested the servant.

“And how do you propose I do zhat?” asked the king.

“For starters, let us make you less…intimidating” the servant smiled nervously as Antasma gave him a glare. Still, the servant continued.

“First, you must sit up straight, but do relax your shoulders and wings,” the servant started.

Antasma hesitated, not convinced yet, but did as told. He straightened his back and relaxed his shoulders and wings, which strangely felt good. Perhaps this could actually work.

“Now, when you greet him, give him a dashing but warm smile. Let us see it, your majesty” encouraged the servant.

Antasma gave him the smile he asked for but the servant blinked in surprise and a bit of fear. That fang-filled grin would not do at all.

“U-um, perhaps with a bit less fangs. We don’t want to frighten the poor thing more,” suggested the maid kindly.

Antasma tried his best to follow their advice but he was growing increasingly frustrated with them, which they were quick to speak on at the same time that he had to learn to control his temper if he wanted Luigi to open up to him. Luckily, his anger was paused when he heard the door open, only to be disappointed to see that it was only Abnus there.

“Vell? Vhere is he?” asked Antasma with a frown.

“Aha, w-well, you see, um, he’z in the process of- I-I mean… He’z not coming…” Abnus finally admitted nervously, trembling a bit.

“VHAT?!” was the only thing heard before Antasma basically flew out of the dining hall in a fit of rage and made his way to Luigi’s chambers, his servants and maid calling out to him and trying to stop him from acting irrationally due to his anger.

Finally, Antasma made it to the plumber’s chambers and pounded on the door.

“I thought I told you to come down to dinner!” shouted Antasma.

“I’m not hungry!” Luigi answered from the other side of the door, making the bat king even more furious.

“You come out or I’ll… I’ll break down zhe door!” shouted Antasma again but it didn’t work.

“Y-Your majesty, I could possibly be wrong here but, heh, that may not be the best course of action…” the maid spoke more quietly.

“Please, attempt to be a gentleman,” Abnus basically begged.

“Vell, it is not MY fault he’s being so difficult!” Antasma hissed.

“Gently, gently…” the maid encouraged.

Antasma took a deep breath, calmed himself down and spoke in a softer and more inviting tone, “Vill you come down to dinner?”.

“No” was the instant reply from the other side and Antasma gave the servants a ‘you see this?’ glare while pointing at the door.

“P-perhpas a bit gentler…” suggested the servant, mentally praying Luigi would crack this once.

“It vould give me great pleasure…if you vould join me for dinner” Antasma hissed, his anger showing however.

“No, thank you!” replied Luigi, which sent Antasma into a fit of rage.

“You can’t stay in where forever!” shouted the bat.

“Oh, yes I can!” shouted the plumber back.

“Fine! Zhen go ahead and STARVE!” Antasma yelled with a mighty growl before turning to his terrified servants.

“If he doesn’t eat vith me, he doesn’t it at all!” he growled at them before flying off into the night with a loud screech.

The servants watched as he flew away to let his frustrations out in a long hunt, finally sighing when they couldn’t see him anymore. The sigh was not of relief, however. It was from exhaustion and disappointment. They didn’t blame Luigi for his reaction but they wished he would be a bit more obedient for his own sake. They feared what would happen to him and everyone else if he continued to disobey their king this way. They remembered the fate of the last fool who dared anger Antasma this much and they did not want the kind man to fall victim into such torture too.

Haircuts and Cozy Vibes

It’s been a while since I got my hair cut, so I decided to get my undercut done, and it’s a little higher than it was;  I think I gave mint a bit of a shock, but I like it, and thats what matters. It’s been a week here, lots of chaos, but I’m finding my way and holding my ground, so that’s what matters.  I started this without much idea of what to write, but I found my idea as soon as I got up…

[nathsketch]

I have a new one in the works! Can you guess who will it be this time?

They’ve been requested by many of you quite a few times! Long overdue! 🌸

Self indulgent AU poster is highly self indulgent-

It took a buttload of time on SFM to learn how to pose characters properly etc., but I made a poster for my 'He is Brutal; Beau is He' fic, which I am INSANELY proud of! Go read the fic if you haven't already!

Based off of the Beauty and the Beast dvd covers & edited in Pixlr because I don't have any art apps on my computer yet.

My friend's and I are doing a one shot for NYE - and it has fairytale aesthetic sprinkled into it. So of course I had to make a character based off a fairytale. This is Beau! He's a barbarian folk hero with a ton of bravado -- and a tale about how he's slain beasts for beauty.

𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗗𝗘𝗦𝗖𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗦 𝗣𝗟𝗢𝗧 𝗕𝗨𝗡𝗡𝗜𝗘𝗦

Turns out my brain never knows when to stop (😅), so now I have even more plot bunnies for Descendants and I thought I’d share them with you!! Keep in mind that I probably won’t do official intro posts for most of these, but you can still feel free to ask me questions about them if you want!!

Bella Wolf, daughter of the Big Bad Wolf, poly Carlos/Jane ship, Fivel Stewart FC. A member of the VKs, despite being a total sweetheart for a villain kid and never really wanting to be evil, because she was the only kid who tried to befriend Evie when she had her mother were exiled and she and Evie have been stuck like glue ever since. Not originally selected to go to Auradon, but the VKs managed to sneak her through the barrier and Ben decided to let her stay. Genuinely befriends Jane pretty quickly since they’re both really sweet and quiet, and doesn’t necessarily like her friends using the girl, but she goes along with it and it breaks her heart to distance herself from Jane after Family Day. Has also had a crush on Carlos forever but doesn’t realize she likes Jane too until after Jane and Carlos start dating, and she thinks she’s missed her chance with both of them until they approach her about being a part of their relationship. Has been purely in human form, like her dad, for most of her life because of the magic blocker on the Isle, but when she gets to Auradon she discovers that she can shift into a wolf and back at will, and also has heightened senses and reflexes, which she uses to join the tourney team after it becomes more inclusive after the second movie.

Charlotte Cogsworth, daughter of Cogsworth, Gil ship, India Eisley FC. Homeschooled in Auradon’s palace for most of her life, because she’s been in training to follow in her father’s footsteps and become an advisor in Ben’s future court and also because Cogsworth is a very protective father, but Ben manages to convince his parents to convince her father to let her go to Auradon Prep shortly before the VKs come to Auradon (and she almost gets pulled out of school again when Cogsworth learns about villain kids coming, but thankfully it doesn’t happen). A bit socially inept since she hasn’t spent a lot of time around kids her age other than Ben, but a very sweet and fiercely intelligent girl who’s accepting of the VKs right away. Offers to tutor the Sea Three and catch them up on any education they might lack after Ben brings them to Auradon after the second movie, and falls in love with Gil that way. Absolute besties with Ben since they grew up together, and is also really good friends with Lonnie and Evie and Doug (and also forms a kind of unexpected friendship with Uma after a while). Her father nearly has a heart attack when he finds out she’s dating Gaston’s son, but he eventually comes around.

Beauregard “Beau” Beast, son of Belle and Adam, poly Harry/Jay ship. Younger than Ben by less than a year, but has always grown up in his brother’s shadow as the “spare heir”; even though Ben never tried to make him feel less than, he’s always known that his father didn’t care about him the same way, that he was meant to just be Ben’s right hand and nothing else. Inherited his mother’s love for reading and knowledge and has spent most of his life locked in his room or the palace library studying history and politics, hoping that he could become a well-known senator or ambassador to another kingdom. A bit wary of the VKs at first, but eventually befriends all of them and starts dating Jay (to Adam’s consternation, especially since Ben’s already dating Mal), and winds up being the one Uma’s pirate crew kidnaps instead of Ben when they go to the Isle to bring Mal home. He and Harry are intruiged by each other and flirt a little while he’s captive (awkwardly on Beau’s part), but he finds out after the Sea Three come to Auradon that Jay and Harry were actually involved for a short while before the fight between the VKs and Uma’s crew got really bad. Eventually Jay and Beau realize that they (still, on Jay’s part) have actual genuine feelings for Harry, and invite him to be part of their relationship. Beau is very sweet but intensely awkward and insecure due to never being the first choice growing up, but as he gains more friends and starts dating Jay and Harry he’s able to come out of his shell and starts being able to stand up for himself.

Wesley Darling, son of Wendy Darling, Mal ship, Tom Holland FC. The son of Wendy and the man she married after becoming a writer and putting Neverland behind her, but there are rumours that he’s actually Peter Pan’s son because of all the mischief he gets into. Hates Auradon’s thinking of “moving past” magic and how perfect and prim everyone pretends to be, so he’s constantly pulling pranks and getting into trouble with Fairy Godmother. Immediately recognizes that Ben’s under a love spell because he sees him eat the spelled cookie and approaches Mal about it, not to confront her or rat her out but just because he’s impressed by her prank skills (he obviously doesn’t realize that it’s part of a bigger plan). He and Mal fall in love leading up to the coronation, and Wesley is so relieved when she chooses good and admits to Ben that she doesn’t have any feelings for him - which he’s fine with because he’s a good friend and genuinely likes Wesley - so they can be together. The very definition of a class clown, laid-back and mischievous and doesn’t take a lot seriously, but also a lot smarter than most people think and would do anything for the people he cares about.

Aurora Andersen, daughter of Ariel and Eric, poly Mal/Evie ship, Zendaya Coleman FC. Ariel and Eric’s younger child, after her older sister Melody who’s already graduated Auradon Prep. Shares her mother’s curiousity and sense of adventure, and so she makes a strong effort to befriend the VKs when they first come to Auradon. Realizes she has feelings for both Evie and Mal after they almost steal the wand at the coronation, and is thrilled when they choose good and decide to stay in Auradon. Confesses to them sometime between the first and second movies, and they all become Auradon Prep’s power throuple. Pretty much exactly like Ariel in terms of personality, bold and inquisitive and kind, but with Eric’s occasional recklessness thrown in. Can change between mermaid and human forms at will, thanks to Fairy Godmother’s magic. Wanted to be on Auradon Prep’s swim team but it was deemed unfair since she’s a mermaid, so she settles on joining the R.O.A.R. team after Lonnie becomes captain.

Delfina Madrigal, daughter of Dolores Madrigal, Lonnie ship, Rachel Zegler FC. Daughter of Dolores and Mariano, and the oldest of the five children that her father always wanted. Received a gift from the family miracle on her fifth birthday like the rest of her family, becoming able to create illusions through her singing voice. Homeschooled for a good portion of her life, like most Madrigals, but Mirabel, now head of the family, decided she and a few of her cousins should be allowed to go to Auradon Prep after the coronation, since she thought that King Adam’s attitude towards magic might be changing. A clumsy lesbian disaster, a bit like her Tía Mirabel, who gets an insta-crush on Lonnie and whose brain tends to stop working when she’s around her. The two of them get together shortly after the events of the second movie, and Delfina attends all of Lonnie’s R.O.A.R. tournaments religiously despite not really knowing anything about the sport. A bit quiet and nervous like her mother, but also has her quiet strength and her tía’s tendency to let her mouth run faster than her brain. Joins Auradon Prep’s acapella club and makes them into sensations, due to her gift making their performances into full spectacles.

Theodore “Theo” Maldonia, child of Tiana and Naveen, Chad ship, Jonathan Daviss FC. He/they kid of Tiana and Naveen and heir to the throne of Maldonia. Very studious, quiet, and dedicated to learning how to be the best ruler he can be, but also doesn’t have very many friends as a result. Unexpectedly winds up becoming close to Chad after being assigned to tutor him when he starts failing a class, and actually helps him to reconsider his ways and mindset when the VKs come to Auradon. They develop a crush on him eventually but acknowledge that he still has a ways to go before becoming a better person, so it’s a while before he asks him out, but they’re very cute when they do get together. Through dating Chad, Theo starts to come out of their shell a little, and becomes really good friends with Doug and Carlos. A member of the Auradon Prep student council, and eventually becomes the tourney coach’s assistant as an effort for them to better learn how to plan strategies.

Maizie Hatter, child of the Mad Hatter, poly VKs ship, Erin Kellyman FC. Wacky non-binary sweetheart, and a complete outcast in Auradon, as most kids from Wonderland are, due to their odd style and outlandish personality. When the VKs originally come to Auradon (already all dating each other), they try to befriend Maizie because they figure it will be easy to convince them to help them steal Fairy Godmother’s wand, but all four of them find themselves falling in love with Maizie over time. After they all choose good at the coronation - and Mal profusely apologizes to Ben for the love spell and explains that she doesn’t really have feelings for him - they ask Maizie to be a part of their relationship, which they’re only too happy to do. An incredible artist and lover of tea who forms Auradon Prep’s art club with Mal and gets all four of their partners addicted to rose hip tea. Exactly what you’d expect the child of the Mad Hatter to be, wacky and curious and often living inside their own head, but also a lot more observant and smart than people expect. Becomes besties with Ben after the events of the first movie when they start to become more accepted by Auradon society and, later, the Sea Three.

I’m trying very hard to be brave through all this election news, but fuck if I’m not terrified. As a woman I’ve seen the absolute worst of humanity, so much so that it has left me mentally disabled. I have a laundry list of trauma disorders and chronic pain from everything. But I will say, that it’s in darkest times, you tend to find the best humans doing the most good.

And hey! It’s WIP Wednesday! So here’s a snippet from the final chapter of Black Coffee. I’m not sure when I’ll be finished with it but I’m hoping to have it out in a couple of days to a week. Stay safe, my friends ❤️

Black Coffee 🔞

Chapter 16: WIP

The day had been busy and exhausting once again, and you’d been unable to see Alastor at dinner- the poor man was kept very busy himself with all the extra guests. As you made your way home, you felt a tinge of a familiar aura the closer you got. Uh oh… You knew that aura very well, and it did not feel happy. Taking a deep breath, you steeled yourself with a pleasant smile.

“Darling! How have you been doi-“

Your body went flying from the punch that met your face. Well, you deserved that one. Rising from the bushes you’d flown into, you dusted yourself off and tried to speak before Velvette was on you again. You dodged as best you could, trying to get as many apologies out as her fists and feet would allow. The doll demon was almost as fast as you on a good day, and today she was furious.

“Extermination anxiety, was it?”

Her demonic tenor rumbled through your chest as you ducked a swinging leg, yelping when caught by her heel as it swung back around.

“Well, if it helps, I am anxious about extermination,” you gave a small chuckle, doing your best to appease your angry friend. You received another punch for your effort, your tail curling as you sailed through the air. Landing roughly on a hip, you were grateful for the extra cushioning- otherwise that could have been much more painful.
