#they just remind me of aladdin and jasmine !!!

"Do you trust me?"

Lunyx Disney's Aladdin-inspired AU

[storybrook-and-fruitsbaskets]

I never really knew who Kalim was modeled after, but I watched Aladdin today and I think it’s Jasmine’s father.

Jafar hypnotizes him (like Jamil), he has that sort of happy-go-lucky personality, he gives out crackers, his eyes are red like when he gets hypnotized, and he’s the sultan (aka really really rich).

I know Twisted Wonderland is supposed to be like a villain’s game, but idk if I would call Jasmine’s dad a villain…?

Or maybe he’s supposed to be Prince Ali 🤷‍♀️

Disney doesn't need to change "the formula." That's the last thing that Wish proves.

What Wish proves is that "the formula" only works when you know why the ingredients are in it, and you use them the correct way.

The Princess Character is meant to wish for only half of the movie's message, and go through an adventure that teaches her what the other half is; what her dream was missing. Ariel dreamed of understanding but she was missing love. Tiana dreamed of achieving her goals but she was missing faith. Jasmine dreamed of freedom but she was missing trust. Belle dreamed of adventure but she was missing being understood.

The Villain is meant to highlight the opposite of the movie's message. Jafar gets what he wants through trickery and manipulation; that's the opposite of Aladdin's "truth will set you free" message, and he gets imprisoned in a lamp. Scar thinks being a King is having his way all the time and can't learn from his past of living in Mufasa's shadow; that's the opposite of The Lion King's "Let the past remind you of your responsibility to selflessness." Gaston loves only himself and is always obsessed with appearances; that's the opposite of Beauty & the Beast's "true love is found within a heart of self-sacrifice." That's what makes them such good villains. (and that clear direction is what drives good villain songs, since Magnifico's is what everyone is talking about)

The sidekick is supposed to compare/contrast with the main character's qualities. Abu is a greedy thief, which is what everyone in Agrabah thinks Aladdin is; when he scolds Abu and teaches him selflessness, it shows us who Aladdin actually is. Flounder is easily frightened and looks at the glass half-full; when Ariel coaxes him and leads by example, we see her bravery and positivity reflected in Flounder's tiny character arc. Timon & Pumbaa do whatever they want all day just like young Simba always dreamed of; when Simba goes to live with them, he finds that "getting his way all the time" makes him forget who he really is and feel empty.

The setting is supposed to show off the characters and highlight the movie's message. Rapunzel's tower is designed to be pretty on the inside because of her influence; if it were too dark and prison-shaped, we'd wonder why she didn't work up the courage to leave sooner. Just like how Quasimodo has made his corner of the bell-tower beautiful, too; they're taught the world is cruel and they're not strong enough for it, but they make their own worlds beautiful enough to hint that that's wrong right from the start. Ariel's grotto is shaped like a tower with no roof so that she only has one window to the forbidden Surface, and it's the light that comes from that forbidden world into her dark grotto which literally makes her able to see human things differently. Tiana's apartment has no interesting features except her father's picture, a perfectly made bed, a drawer with no extra outfits but stuffed with tip money, and only two dresses; both of which are for work.

None of that is happening in Wish, because they didn't know why the formula ingredients are there. Disney needs to understand and return to the formula the right way; forgetting it was what got them here.

Asha learns nothing to add to her dream, unless you count "the power to grant wishes is in me." Which you shouldn't, because we didn't even know she was confused about that until the animals sang a song that was completely off-topic and she had the chance to jump in and sing "I'm a Star!"

Magnifico does not demonstrate the opposite of Wish's message effectively because his character has nothing to do with a philosophy against making wishes, and everything to do with power. (He is the strongest character in the film. But because the message and core concept of what wishes are are so bad, that's not saying much.)

Valentino, and Asha's friends, do not highlight anything about her character through compare/contrast. Valentino is brave and all over the place. Her friends are seven-dwarfs parodies. Happy, Doc, Sneezy, Dopey, Bashful, Sleepy, Grumpy. None of that contrasts with Asha's vague characterization of "cares too much." None of it compares to that characterization, either.

The setting is empty. There are no interesting details that teach you something about any of the characters. None in Asha's home, none in the neat-and-tidy one-dimensional forest, none in the Rosas square, and none in the bland, empty castle. Magnifico's study is the closest anything gets; there's a loose concept that all of Asha's friends have to work together to open the roof, and take a leap of faith to weigh the pulley system down. Unfortunately, none of these characters is shown struggling to work together, OR to take leaps of faith, at all, before this point.

The ingredients of the formula are in Wish. They're just not being used correctly. This is how not to use the formula; it's not the formulas fault. If it ain't broke. They should never have let people convince them to try and fix it.

My Thoughts on Descendants Canon

I was thinking about it and wanted to share. I’ve noticed everyone from screenwriters to this fandom over the years has brought a LOT to the canon (including me) and this last movie…kinda doesn’t fit that canon.

We’ve always perceived these characters to be continuations of the OG Disney Movies. Sleeping Beauty, Mulan, Beauty and the Beast, etc all happened as they did in their animated movies and the next thing was Descendants. It’s likely Descendants Canon doesn’t even consider sequels (Little Mermaid 2, Cinderella 2 and 3, etc)

Now, lots of us (myself included) do nitpick some other Disney canons for fanfiction or theory purposes. For example, I roll with The Little Mermaid: The Musical Canon that Triton and Ursula and Poseidon’s kids. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure that’s never mentioned in the OG cartoon movie. Another example I’ve seen is folks accepting Maleficent (2014) as canon, which led to a lot of King Stephen is Mal’s father theories. Also, Greek Mythology? We all love discussing the complexities of D3 Hades being…D3 Hades.

Then there’s the books, by my guess written retroactively to the movies. I love them, I love the depth De La Cruz gives to this world. Unfortunately, I’m not sure book canon is heavily considered when writing the script (tho shoutout D4 for making Castlecoming a thing).

All of this to say: the Descendants Cinematic Universe (yes, this is DCU now) was originally thought to be based on JUST The original animated films.

Except now all those characters are in High School together? What?

I’ve said this once already, but it reminds me of The School for Good and Evil. All the Heroes and Villains went to school together and then after graduation went off to be in a fairytale. I think the DCU could be interpreted as something similar. Hear me out:

First thing: Let’s assume for a minute DCU is separate from the original movies it’s based on. The blue-haired Ella and the blonde cartoon Cinderella are different characters. A little trickier: Teen Maleficent and Maleficent (D1) are the same person, but not the same as Sleeping Beauty (1959) Maleficent.

Second thing: Take exact copies of all those Original Animated characters and put them together in the same place at the same time. Now they all go to high school together. This part is the SGE-like part, but the difference is there isn’t such a strict distinction of heroes and villains. Merlin teaches everyone. Their fairytales are their choice.

Which brings me to the third: ALL OF THE PLOTS STILL HAPPEN, and in their world it’s just common place and also translated differently. Ella still has an Evil Stepmother, a dance to go to, and a prince to see, but it doesn’t look like the cartoon at all.

Other examples:

Hades is indeed a teenager, and just casually a King of the Underworld and a God. That’s just how this place works.

Jaladdin. JALADDIN. If they’re together, their story already panned out, but maybe in a way that’s more DCU-like. Maybe Princess Jasmine needed to have a date to a certain royal event (instead of picking a suitor). Maybe good ol Vizier Jafar sent a skater punk in detention to a pawnshop for the lamp. Yes, Genie was a Genie, but maybe also a thriftstore owner who helped Aladdin get the girl with some thrifty style and a dusty magic carpet. I’m spitballing here.

My point is: all the fairytale stories will still take place, and all the characters are the same BUT separate from Original Animated Disney Canon. Aladdin already happened. Cinderella is currently happening. Alice in Wonderland is SO FAR in the future. Peter Pan may happen soon. Captain Hook already lost his hand, so he already blames Pan for that. (Can yall imagine its his twerp cousin or something, lol)

(I can’t explain Morgie. Morgana La Fey is from Once and Future King (King Authur’s story). She was not in Disney’s The Sword in the Stone, which is only 1/4 of OFK. The main villain in Disney’s movie was Madam Mim.)

This explanation also makes it a little easier to digest the fact that Beast was able to unite the kingdoms and banish the villains. If DCU was straight outta Disney canon, he would have to unite 1920s Louisiana (Princess and the Frog) with Aladdin’s Agrabah (just not real).

So yeah, that’s how I’m somehow wrapping my brain around all this. What do y’all think?

[midnightmah07]

I JUST HAD A THOUGHT.

Hear me out, please

It suits Ruggie and Daisy for some reason. I love how you draw Ruggie looking at Daisy! It reminds me of how Aladdin looks at Jasmine. (Also your art is so pretty!!)

HELPPPPPPPP NO NO YOU'RE COOKING, ALADDIN IS JUST ANOTHER VARIANT OF RUGGIE–

*Ahem* every time there's a royal x thief/poor character I'm always like "GASP IT'S DAIGGIE!!!" like Lady and Tramp, Eugene/Flynn and Rapunzel, Aladdin and Jasmine... It's just UGHHH😭😭 SO GOOD

I'm so happy to hear you comparing the way I draw Ruggie looking at Daisy to the way Aladdin looks at Jasmine like oh my goodness 😭😭 THAT'S A HUGE COMPLIMENT... TY????? Imagine the first time he sees her it's just like when Aladdin first sees Jasmine– I rest my case

[caseylicious]

Hello again! Hope that you’re having a great day! If it’s alright with you, can I request another rise!donnie x gn!reader where Donnie is such a simp for reader?

Like Leo would tease him about it but he would deny it because of his “bad boy” image. But then reader enters the lair and Donnie is just 💜w💜.

Thank you!!!

Simp.

Summary: Donnie being a simp (more of swooning) for the reader.

Character: Donnie.

Reader: GENDER NEUTRAL

Relationship: CRUSH

Warnings: Leo and Donnie having this whole on sibling moment, but that doesn't affect the silly teasing that'll happen-

Words: 3312

A/N: My dear, there is no problem with requesting another time! Your requests place a smile on my face. I'm in love yet so hesitant with this one- because I don't want it to be to remind anybody of 2012!Donnie being whole on OBSESSED for April. With some serious thought, This is Part 2 of the Mad Scientist!Reader piece. (Read for context)

The story may be a bit wack... but im trying so hard to juice my brain for plot. (currently in writer's block.) As well of trying to follow the basic idea of your request, but overall I like this piece a lot! A few things first! I see Leo and Donnie as TWIN BROTHERS. There's just a lot that heavily implies it in my opinion! and I just imagined that one scene from Aladdin with him just swooning for Jasmine. You get me? Yeah.

I love your ideas. Come around again < 3

As always! Please, Enjoy 💐

[ If you have any constructive criticism or corrections for any of my English do let me know! :) ]

Waving the brothers goodbye from your introduction, you began climbing up the manhole with April. To your surprise, you've gotten along quite well with each one of them. Even with your "normal switch" off. You've noticed in your time with them that each one of them were different in their own way. Leo was cheery while funny person. Raph was a strong sharp, yet loveable and empathetic. Mikey was one of the loudest people you've met. And Donnie... Before you could continue with your analysis of the whole day you had. April spoke, "Well.. whatcha think man?" You thought for a second on what to say. "I need more context to that question O'Neil." She chuckled, "Of the whole meet and greet! You seemed to get along with most of them."

"Hmm.. I'd say it was a success." April's groan echoed through the sewer hole. "That means I liked them all; your friends." You assumed April grinned and was pleased, because you heard a pitter patter on the bar below you. That would've been the end of the conversation before April opened her mouth once more. "How about Donnie?" You suddenly stopped moving forwards. Which made April bump onto your calf. "What about Donatello?" She snickered. "Pfft- Opinion on Don? There's no way you'd forget him man."

A second of silence passed before you finally answered, "Well.. he's okay." An audible gasp could be heard. "What do you mean okay?! You talked about so much with him!" You looked away from the bar in front of you as she kept ranting. You enjoyed the turtle's presence, you truly did. He seemed to understand everything you were talking about. And it was one rare moment in your life where you kept up a conversation which you found interesting. However you somehow "knew" that he'd leave you like everybody else.

The foreign memory which you've tried to suppress began to play. How you ate all by yourself, which led to you staying in the abandoned science lab for most of your lunch. How you've practiced normal conversation in the mirror. Researching popular trends which you've tried copying to the point of creating an image of somebody you just weren't. It just all didn't click with you. For some reason, you just couldn't fit in with the crowd of your school. And it became the reason for the bad reputation you had.

Personally, you wouldn't blame him for leaving. Eventually he'd see how you were.. "weird." But... good always lifts from the bad. Would it be really a bad thing for him to notice you being "weird?' Hypothetically, if you tried hard enough to "fit in," you wouldn't have had a great time with the turtle. Ideas which you've suppressed wouldn't have been unleashed. And you would still be complaining about society being awful and needing a fix. A grin made itself onto you for a moment before you felt your head hit a flat surface. Adjusting your focus, you have found the manhole cover on top of you. You began to lift the object, moving it to the side. Hearing the metal fall, you then climbed onto the ground. Reaching a hand inside for April who was still ranting on how you and Donnie got along so well. "You understand though- Right, Y/N?" You blinked for a couple seconds before patting her back. "Yes. I agree completely. Let's put a pin on this discussion and come back to it. How about it?" She agreed walking down the street with you. Before the both of you separated due to her route being in a different location. Watching as April ran off, you sighed in relief.

You made your way back home, unable to stop thinking about that encounter you had. That special conversation which made you open up. Where you felt normal. But that's silly, right? Out of every logical and fictional existing thing in this universe, a turtle seemed to comprehend anything of what you said. Who was this "Donatello?"

💜 Donnie

Brzzt. Brzzrt. Brzzrt-

A hard slam landed on the device. It was around 6 in the morning and two tired eyes opened. The tired figure slowly sat up, stretching from side to side. A robotic yet humanoid voice spoke, "It's too early to wake up dad.." A chuckle could be heard. "Shelldon, you understand we have work to do. Acquire yourself some coffee and I'll get some bolts ready for you." As odd as that sounds, the purple drone swirled in a circle before exiting the room. It has been about exactly 4 months and 27 days since your introduction.

In those 4 months you both had been interacting with one another nonstop. Mainly on electronic email and/or text. It contained random ideas and topics which you both enjoyed immensely. He couldn't help but feel a genuine boost of optimism seeing your username and email. Especially on random facetime calls the two of you had. How you showed off your school AP textbooks to Donnie, and how Donnie showed off his battle shells explaining each function. And the best part? You listened and seemed to be genuinely interested in his work. It was strange, but he liked it. a lot.

Before he chose to finally get up, he waited for the hot coffee. Which arrived in the matter of seconds. Taking a sip, he let out a sigh of relief. "Ahh.. That's good." He whispered. The soft-shelled turtle walked over to his desk. Inspecting the blueprints in front of him, his eyes noticed a doodle in the corner of the sheet. Donnie groaned, while a smirk quickly formed. It was probably his younger brother Mikey. He was always one to enjoy doodling on his brother's stuff with or without permission. "Did Mikey touch my work?- I swear... alright, let's see what on earth he drew this time-" What Donnie saw made him shut up. Which was rare for somebody who seemed to love explaining everything he knew and believed in. But what did the young turtle see? No, it wasn't anything inappropriate. And no, it wasn't anything hateful. It was something quite far from any of those things...

It was your name traced over in the blue paper. With what seemed to be hearts surrounding it- and was that a cloud? Whatever the doodle was, he was speechless. Silence filled the room before suddenly he felt a cold hand on his shoulder. "Yo D what are you do-" Donnie quickly grabbed his screwdriver. "EAT LASERS INTRUDER!!-" His brother quickly raised his hands above his face, "Hey-! Chill- it's me Leo!" The purple turtle stared at his twin brother for a couple seconds. Before his face became red, flicking his forehead. Leo quickly whined in pain holding his forehead with one hand. "Scoff! Learn to knock next time brother. What are you even doing up this early?" Leo chuckled poking Donnie's plastron with his finger. "I should be asking you that... but you're always up early. So I won't ask!-" Donnie quickly wore his bandana, glaring a little at Leo. "That doesn't answer my question Nardo'."

"Woahh! Chill, chill. I just got up to the sound of Shelldon making coffee... anddd.. because we're-" For a few seconds, Donnie really hoped Leo had a different reason. "Please, don't say it."

"Because we're twin brothers Donnie~" His drawn-on brows furrowed together. "That isn't a proper reason." A grin formed on his brother's face, "Oh, but it is now! Anyways back to me." He paused. "What's that you're working on?" Donnie should've rejected Leo, he knew clearly it was a trap for some sort of teasing. However could he resist to explain one of his creations? No, he could not. "Well- if you insist. I'm working on a suitcase which can hide weaponry such as my staff. So next time we ever choose to go out in disguise, I won't be held back for a couple minutes for silly reasons such as "illegal weaponry" and-" Leo quickly snatched the blueprint out of his hand, "Hey!-" He browsed the paper for a couple seconds before aggressively pointing at the corner of the paper. "And thinking about Y/N! There's no way!!-"

His eyes widened- "Leo, could you at least lower down your voice!" Donnie watched as his brother giggled for a few minutes on the sight. He tried remembering when or why he chose to write your name multiple times on his own piece of work. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't. There was no collection of him daydreaming about you. As the laughter died down, his brother spoke. "So- what is this? You got a crush on them or something? Lord-"His cheeks flared up, blinking aggressively down to the floor. "Man! This is almost as bad as you and Atomic Lass! Ha! You and Y/N??" Expecting a snarky comeback, he was responded with only silence. Donnie glanced down. Looking away from Leo with shame, genuinely unsure on what to say or do.

Leo frowned, gently placing his hand on his shoulder letting him sit. "Uhm.. You don't gotta talk about it if you don't want to. I know how you are with stuff like this. My bad." He didn't respond, tension filled the room. "Errm..Want me to leave?" Donnie opened his mouth, but closed it. Trying to find the words. Leo waited for him to figure out what he wanted to say. "..N- no. It's fine, don't leave... I'm sorry just.." He took a quick sip of his coffee. "I don't really know if I do. Is i-.. is it okay to feel like this? I've never felt like this and-" He paused, not knowing what to say. "Well, yeah. It's okay to feel like this man! I'll listen if you really want to talk about them." Donnie blinked a couple times, staring at Leo in disbelief. He hasn't had a "heart-to-heart" moment like this with him in a long time. For obvious reasons. He slowly grinned with a nod.

"Well... Y/N- where do I begin. Oh okay.." Leo pulled out a stool, sitting on top of it. Donnie closed his eyes imagining one of the special calls he had with you. "Well, their hair. It's this color that just looks so nice in the dark and light. They have these eyes that just shine like gems found in the deepest caves of the world- and wow their voice. Their voice is a whole conducted symphony Leo..." His brother nodded his head, listening in. Surprisingly not making a comment. "Uh huh- and? What else? That can't be it." He placed his hands on his cheeks, trying to remember one of his favorite voice calls. "We like so many things- Our interests just match! It's as if the constellations aligned perfectly in one part of the world. They just know so much that I know- which is just so mesmerizing..." A short but long 'hmmm.' came out of Leo.

Donnie watched as his brother placed his own hand on his chin. "Well? What is it Nardo?' Leo empathized with his twin brother, mainly on how he spoke about you. He spoke as if you were a holy deity, a treasure, maybe even a blessing! He just seemed to understand how Donnie felt. Even if he wasn't a touchy feely sort of person. "You really like Y/N that much, huh?" Donnie nodded, covering the lower half of his face with his hand. "Well honestly, expect me to tease ya." Before Donnie could scold him, Leo spoke again. "But go for it. Nobody is stopping you from being with them. And I'll be cheering from afar."

Donnie hummed, glancing back at Leo. "..That's actually some smart advice Nardo... Thank you, brother." Leo smirked. "Getting soft on me Don?"

"Don't ruin it."

"Yeah, yeah- You're welcome! Chill!"

----------------

Bzzrt. Bzzrt. Bzzrt-

Your hand quickly grabbed the wire clippers, cutting the wire which was attached to the device. Opening one eye, you glanced to what you have cut. The purple wire. Your eye twitched realizing which wire your hand instinctively chose to cut, which frankly saved your life. again. "Ughh.. What genius am I, if I keep cutting that wire?"

Quickly, you got out of bed, slipping your slippers on. Making your way to your closet, the calendar on the wall of your room was marked. In bold red letters, "HANG OUT. 11:00 AM." That's right! You and your newly made friends made plans to hang out together. Excited as you were. You specifically were excited to share your ideas with one particular person of the group. Donnie.

Mentally you had to slap yourself. It was irritating how he always seemed to be on your mind. Just because he chose to listen to your thoughts? Please. It was almost humiliating how just of one person, you'd be this distracted. You suspected it was because how isolated you were. How you were the 'outsider.' Maybe because he seemed to know about titanium and uranium. Or maybe because he genuinely wanted to become your friend. Your hand reaching for a pen, making a repetitive clicking sound. "Pascal Triangle, prepare yourself to be solved."

You were a fan of mathematics. It being one of your favorite subjects in school. April knowing this information, usually asked you for answers. In which you've always responded, "Giving you the answers isn't going to help your education O'Neil!" "Urgh-! I hate it when you're right Y/N." The thought made you grin, until you looked back down to your paper. None of the pentagons had answers in them. "Wh- what? I thought I was answering these..." Needing reassurance, you flipped through all of the pages in your packet. Expectedly you answered them all. To the questions which required the most simplest distributive property, to having to identify graphs. You didn't seem to second-guess yourself, so you were confident in your work of elimination.

Just.. why now didn't you know what to write? You weren't one to be seriously invested in your grades. Surprising? Yes, however you more focused on whether you knew how to perform the work. Were grades going to help you in the long-run of your "world-domination?" No. They would not, but the Pascal Triangle really shouldn't be this confusing. You didn't want to admit it, but you needed another pair of eyes on this question. Well let's do the simple process of elimination with the friends, or more specifically acquaintances you've made.

April? No offense to the poor girl, but could you really get answers out of somebody who asks you for them? Pass.

Mikey doesn't even know what on earth the Pascal Triangle is. Poor him.

Raph and Leo would give you a detailed look of confusion. Calling over...

Donnie.

Out of everyone on the list, Donnie was the most logical choice. It was obvious he would understand what on earth this was. A groan escaped from your lips. "Can't believe I have to ask him for help on this problem. C'mon Y/N.. you're a mathematical genius! Why can't I solve a simple pattern?" You didn't even notice it, but you woke up at ten o'clock. Due to this one question and overthink, you've wasted another thirty minutes. Leaving you now with... "Oh- SHOOT!" As you launched yourself out of your rollie-chair to change...

Running down the alleyways of New York, you were advised by April to remember the specific manhole which led you down to their quarters. What did the manhole look like again-? You inspected each manhole you passed.

Too Large. Too Small. That isn't the right color. That's a whole pizza dropped on the ground.

Eventually you found the manhole, attempting to lift the metal plate as discreetly as you could. Placing it back as you made your way down. You learned from the last time you visited that it was quite dark. So you turned on the flashlight on your phone, stepping through the puddles, your name echoed throughout the sewer halls.

Finally, what felt like walking in the same direction for so long, you made it to the lair. Nothing seemed to change from your last visit, the graffiti was the same, there doesn't seem to be any new furniture, and.. Splinter seemed to be watching the same commercial like yesterday. Mikey was the first to notice your arrival and waved to you like a kid who just ate a batch of Halloween candy. It was adorable, platonically of course. He ran up to you, a visible grin on his face, "Y/N! You made it!!" You smirked, moving a hair strand behind your ear. "Well of course I made it. I couldn't miss out on a hang-out with you and your brothers."

While Mikey kept speaking with you, you could feel a gaze upon yourself. It wasn't necessarily bad, but it was.. sort of strange. You were the outcast, the 'weirdo' of the school. Who on earth would be staring at you?

.

.

.

Donnie, obviously. He was leaning against a wall, standing near the edge of the skate ramp. A small smile growing as he observed your very movement. You just were able to speak in a way that could make his heart flutter. Donnie suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder, jumping in surprise. Realizing who it was, his sharpie-brows furrowed together. "L- leo! Do not creep up on me like that." Leo cackled, noticing that you've arrived. "Checking out Y/N? Gotta say Don, not your sort of thing to do." It was quite obvious for Donnie that his twin brother, wasn't going to ever let this go. An unnerving feeling, he didn't like it. "Aren't you going to talk with 'em? Y'know, make your move?" Donnie frowned unapprovingly, "I wouldn't use that saying, but yes. I was going to talk to them..." His twin brother only stared at him, waiting for the second half of the sentence. Soon realizing, that was it.

"Well! If you are then get down there." Leo moved behind Donnie. He became suspicious immediately, "Nardo- what do you plan on do- ING-!!" He was suddenly pushed down the skate ramp, now rolling towards you like a wrecking ball. Immediately jumping into action, his battle shells' metal claws grabbed hold of the floor. Throwing him back into the air, to land on his two feet. As he was about to glare and scold Leo, you spoke. "Oh my God! Donnie that was- so impressive! Was that apart of your shell?"

To the sight of his shell acting like a sixth sense, your curiosity blasted off from there. Did Leo know you'd react like this? ... Maybe. Donnie wasn't the only brother with smart ideas. They're twins after all. Donnie only blushed, as you began to circle him. In a respectful distance, "What coding did you use for them to do that! Oh my- look at this! Are these compartments for items?" After a few seconds of silence, Donnie coughed, collecting himself. "I- indeed! Well, specifically, more of an Object-Orientated type of programming." The two of you didn't even notice as Mikey left, letting you both infodump. "Really? That sounds like absolute hell! You have to teach me how to code something like that... Oh right! I need some help for this math assignment. Know about the Pascal Triangle?"

Donnie chuckled, "Do I know the Pascal Triangle? Y/N, who do you think you're asking? They're the training wheels to the most amateur of equations." Suddenly he watched as your eyes lighted up. A grin filled with relief and joy. Something that felt so amazing to experience in person, "I completely agree! Mind if we go into your lab? It'd be better to discuss there." He nodded his head as you ran off. A lovesick grin visible on his face. Wow you were... just perfect.

"Ha! Lover Boy-!!" "NARDO."

Since I've been watching so much of Aladdin again, I just wanted to remind myself of the timeline.

Aladdin was 16 years old when he first met Abu as revealed in Seems Like Old Crimes Part 1.

In the movie, Aladdin is confirmed to be 18 while Jasmine is 15 at the start, but turns 16 by the end.

By Forget Me Lots, a year had passed since the events of the film which means, Aladdin is 19 and Jasmine is 17.

If every season of Aladdin: The Series takes place over the course of 1 year that would mean...

Season 1 - Aladdin is 19 and Jasmine is 17.

Season 2 - Aladdin is 20 and Jasmine is 18.

Season 3 - Aladdin is 21 and Jasmine is 19.

With this logic and reasoning, Aladdin is 21 by the time he and Jasmine get married in the final film of the franchise, Aladdin and the King of Thieves.

I've just realized that Elizabeth and Will's wedding clothes in DMC have the same colours of Beauty and the Beast's clothes in the most iconic scene of the Disney classic: golden and blue!

It's funny, because Beauty and the Beast (1991) is probably the most romantic Disney fairy-tale and I love the two protagonists, but I think Will and Elizabeth, as characters, are more similar to Aladdin and Jasmine of Aladdin (1992): both the girls are smart and indipendent, while the boys are kind and a little naive 😉

Furthermore, Jasmine is the Sultan's daughter and Elizabeth is the Governor's daughter, but Aladdin and Will are poor, so they feel inadequate compared to these noble princesses 😉 But, at the end of the day, love triumphs!

Perhaps Disney created Will and Elizabeth mixing the romanticism of Beauty and the Beast (a fairy-tale love) with the vivacity of Aladdin and Jasmine (also a fairy-tale love, but more amusing)... 😄

Yes, yes, I know Pirates of the Caribbean isn't a fairy-tale. But some aspects of the relationship between Will and Elizabeth reminds me a fairy-tale (the humble blacksmith and the "princess" of the story? 🤩 It's so romantic. So fabled, if the word is correct - in italian I'd say "fiabesco"). And I really love these... these tales as old as time, as Mrs. Potts sings in Beauty and the Beast. Non matter "the realism". Fairy-tales mustn't be realistic (they're symbolic, metaphorical stories!). So, yes, Belle can love the Beast, while Jasmine can tour the world on a magic carpet with Aladdin.

And a humble blacksmith can marry a governor's daughter in the eigtheenth century 😉 Because each of them loves the other and fights for the other's freedom, and he's kind and loyal while she's bold and smart, and both are brave and passionate, and together are the core of Pirates of the Caribbean. That's all.

okay so i just finished ouat for the first time ever (watched it years ago but stopped in s5b) and i just wanted to ask one question about the finale lmao

(discussions of r*pe, the r*pists on the show, the erasure of graham, and regina's crimes)

first. some context. i absolutely hate what happened to graham's character (being r*ped and then murdered by his r*pist and then the crime never ever ever ever being acknowledged) and it's really really hard for me to like regina's character after that. for the longest time i always told myself it was the writers that didn't actually understand what they were writing, and then once they did, they tried to ignore it and sweep it under the rug because that wasn't their intention for regina's character

for example, with the other two r*pists on the show (there's arguments for a lot more, but these ones are confirmed in the canon), zelena and mother gothel are both treated as villains (regina actually calls zelena out for the r*pe, telling her she 'deceived robin in the most vile way possible,' which is another reason i thought the writers were trying to kinda retcon what regina did to graham once they realized what they had actually written). zelena eventually does get her 'redemption' (kinda. the only person who ever treats her well is regina. we just stop seeing zelena with other characters. the only exceptions really in s7 are wish!killian, robyn, and chad and they all don't know about her true crimes), which is something i hate, but again, zelena and mother gothel (for the majority of their characters) are treated as villains, which is genuinely why i thought for over a decade now that the writers realized they made an oopsie with regina and graham and just ignored it

however. then i watch the season 7 finale

and regina's getting crowned the good queen which. okay. interesting take i guess (love or hate regina's character, she burned down entire villages, who the hell is voting for her???). and then regina, the good queen, supposedly forgiven and redeemed for all her past evil deeds, gets to give a speech. in fact, the last speech that's ever given on ouat, the last words ever spoken on the show is this speech

she starts off by saying: 'i thought my story came to an end a long time ago, and then new people came into my life... people who gave me a second chance. i can't wait to see what's in store for me next. well, for everyone'

and then with this speech, as it continues, there's a lovely little montage to give us a reminder of the journey that was ouat and all of the characters along the way

regina says: 'i refuse to believe there won't be more adventures' and we see the jolly roger, charming on horseback, rumple in the heroes and villains au on horseback (interesting choice), grumpy being hatched, jiminy cricket, pinnochio and gepetto being swallowed by a whale, regina casting the dark curse over snow and charming's dying body (.......), emma freeing merlin from the tree, elsa using magic, ursula and maleficent tussling, monkey!walsh, rumple being bitch slapped by a bear, belle being attacked by fire-doggie!phillip, snow hitting charming with a rock, and cruella's stank breath

these are all, so far, decent choices. some are a little iffy but, for the most part, just moments reminding us of everything that's happened

and then regina says 'more love' and we see outlaw queen, snowing, swan believer, phillip and aurora, rumbelle, henry and violet, cinderella and her guy (shawn?), jasmine and aladdin, snowing again

this one's a little more questionable (just like. where is captain swan? and why is swan believer here when everything else is romantic love? did someone mix it up? idk. not the point but still)

'more family' and we see snowing and baby emma, emma and baby henry, the heroes in s2 walking together, snowing and neal, gepetto and pinnochio, henry smiling, and the last supper ouat version

this one's fine. i think including gepetto and pinnochio there is kinda funny when it could be replaced by any other scene of the actual main family (regina and henry maybe???????????????)

and then. finally. why i am making this textpost

regina says 'and yes, there will be more loss'

and. okay. we see robin dying, robin's funeral, regina at her father's grave, and then ???????????????????????????? for SOME REASON they show GRAHAM DYING????????????????????????????????

and at this point i don't care what else they show because regina's then saying 'because that's just a part of life' and i am just wondering. HOW. after SEVEN SEASON. did ouat think that was a good idea

and it genuinely makes me feel nauseous because yes, he is a forgotten victim, he was controlled and r*ped and murdered and nobody ever found out about it and, in fact, he is rarely ever even remembered (emma wearing his shoelace was such a fucking blessing to know at least ONE PERSON cared about him after he had died. that he at least wasn't forgotten by her) but for YEARS i thought it was just ouat being ouat and trying to ignore their mistakes because addressing them would make regina truly unforgiveable

but then. regina. in her final act of being truly redeemed, switched completely from the evil queen to the good queen, her crimes being forgiven by her victims and everyone electing her to be queen (WERE THERE NO OTHER CANDIDATES?), regina reminds us of the crime that she never ever told anyone about, the crime that she will be taking to her grave, and we see graham dying (because she r*ped and then murdered him)

and it just feels so so so wrong. ESPECIALLY. especially. ESPECIALLY after season seven, where we're forced to watch rogers be taunted by his r*pist, the knowledge of her crime being unknown to him (she taunts wish!killian too when he does know), and that entire plot is sickening and heartbreaking but that's what it's supposed to be. like one of the biggest plots of the season was about a r*pist taunting her victim and destroying his life and making him miserable and being the cause of his death (gothel poisoned wish!killian's heart, regina crushed graham's, wow ouat sure does love their parallels). never once are we expected to be on gothel's side and literally everyone on the show hates her besides characters she is also manipulating (ivy and anastasia). so how are they going to have that be one of the main plots of the season (if not the main plot, considering it's why rumple dies and killian/alice/gothel have the most backstory eps out of any other plotline) and then do this?

how are they going to give regina her redemption and then remind us of graham's death, arguably one of her worst crimes that is kept secret from everyone on the show? she took his heart and then commanded him to her bed chamber and then created a curse where they had a sexual relationship despite graham being miserable every single day and never wanting or feeling anything because oh yeah she stole his heart and controls him. and then she killed him when she couldn't control him any longer

and now she's the good queen, getting her second chance? ('second' chance. okay ouat. sure)

how are they going to forgive regina for her crimes while reminding us, the audience, that nobody even knows about graham?

The Elegant Hannah Hook;

Summary: In a world where Hannah Hook didn't leave the isle until the barrier was brought down in d3, she interrupts a hero council meeting. Trigger Warnings: swearing, vandalism, implied child abuse, implied prejudice/classism, implied death (including child death), improper graveyard behavior, mentioned murder, child endangerment, etc.

Apart of the 'Never-Left-The-Isle Hannah Hook'.

Was co-written with @igetthedisneybox .

------------------------------------------------------------

Ben couldn’t help but smile as he looked at his friends, then outside the window at the Isle, seeing it clearly without the magic barrier.

He felt a peace in his heart that he hadn’t felt in a long time as he squeezed Mal’s hand. “So. To start this meeting, does anyone have any ideas?”

“Well, this isn't my idea but Gil, Hook, and Uma were talking about how to improve life on the isle for the kids who are stuck living there until further notice—” Jay started, leaning back in his chair. 

“Maybe we should worry about changing things here first.” Belle interrupted.

Jay resisted the urge to roll his eyes. “What here needs to change so urgently that we can't clean up the isle for the kids who aren't old enough to leave? What here is more important than cleaning up the pollution the barrier collected in the water around it?”

Belle blanched slightly. “Well, I–uh, for the children of Auradon–”

“Have been well cared for unlike the isle kids. Which reminds me, is there some way to make a memorial or a funeral or something for all the kids and people who died on the isle?” Carlos asked. Figuring that if she was gonna interrupt, then he could too. 

Mal gave him a confused look. “I thought the BDA had that handled?”

“Mal, some of the BDA didn't even exist during some of the deaths.” Carlos sighed. “And they only documented the cases. They didn't handle any of the funerals if there were any. Most of the people who died were just thrown in the catacombs, given a sailor's funeral, or were tossed into the mass grave at Dragon Hall.”

“Wait, the graveyard at Dragon Hall is a real graveyard? I thought Dr. Facilier said it was fake?” Evie looked as if she had swallowed a lemon. 

Most of the heroes in the room looked horrified. “Mass graves?” A few whispered to themselves.

Carlos just raised an eyebrow at Evie. “And you believed him?”

“I–well, yeah! I mean, we played there. Surely he wouldn't want us playing on his son's grave, right?” The bluenette defended. 

“It's not like there was much free land for burial, E.” Mal winced. 

Ben cleared his throat. “As much as this conversation needs to happen–and it will happen, trust me–we are getting off topic. As of now, we can focus on the Isle children that are still with us and need help now.”

The kids immediately perked up. 

“Frollo needs to be dealt with then, before he kills the rest of his children–”

Knock. 

Knock. 

Knock. 

So many of the heroes jumped at once, it looked like a major electric shock just went through them. Florian yelped.

“Is that coming from the window?” Snow White squeaked in surprise.

“Seems it.” Evie nodded, still absorbing the new information she had just been given. All her plans for the meeting suddenly gone from her mind.

Mal wrinkled her nose. “Who in Auradon would try knocking on the window?”

Florian glared pointedly at Eugene and Rapunzel, then Jasmine and Aladdin.

“What?” Aladdin and Eugene both asked.

Florian sighed, then went to open the window. He yelped (again) when he discovered who was on the ledge.

The small girl, who was around thirteen to fifteen with streaks of white and teal in her short brown hair, climbed through the window—panting as she plopped down on the floor. She was dressed in pirate grab and wore red, steampunk like goggled. 

“Hiya, Mal.” 

“Ugggggggghh! What are you doing here?” Mal face palmed.

“Existing.” The girl said with a straight face before turning to Carlos and Evie with a sheepish look on her face. “Hey…. Your parents are outside… along with Frollo, Gothel, and Gaston… my bad and please help?”

“What?!” Multiple voices sounded out.

“HANNAH ARTEMIS HOOK, WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?!” Mal stood up, green eyes blazing.

Hannah raised her hands up quickly. “The Gaston twins wanted to move out, obviously Gaston would never let them so they asked me for help…. And I may have went overboard and gave some other peeps the opportunity? Oh by the way Evie, you can find Athena at your dad’s place. Also Carlos your cousins have your cat, don't worry I made sure she was with them before I did anything—”

Then, the girl paused. “Also I think Gothel's lost it because she keeps calling me the weirdest thing—”

“Gothel? Oh hell naw.” Rapunzel pulled a frying pan out of her bag.

Ben was sure he was about to get several gray hairs from this. “I’m sure we can handle this calmly and cordially. Mrs. Fitzherbet, please put down the cookware.”

Meanwhile, Eugene just let out a low whistle. Clearly impressed. 

Phoebus looked like he already had a headache, Quasimodo looked wary, and Esmeralda looked ready to commit murder.

Now knowing that he was the only adult in the room, Ben turned towards the girl. “First, who are you? Second, can you maybe give us a better idea of what to expect?”

Mal sighed. “Hate to break it to you, Ben, but Hannah doesn't do anything she's—”

“Captain Hannah Hook of the Stormbringer at your service, your highness.” The brunette cut Mal off, not even bothering to move from her spot on the floor. Still panting and wheezing. “Pleasure to meet you.” 

Ben ignored the fact that Wendy Darling raised an eyebrow at the girl’s last name. “The pleasure’s all mine.” He couldn’t help but be amused by her. “So, Captain, do you have any ideas of what to do?”

“None whatsoever. I ran out of ink balloons, glue bombs, and marbles three hours ago and I don't have any weapons on me today except for my slingshot, which snapped two hours in. Things got… really out of hand around the four hour mark.” Well, that explained how out of breath the girl was. 

Flynn somehow looked even more impressed than before. 

So did Ben. “Do the magic users have their magic back yet?”

“Uh, no I handled that…” Hannah waved her hand, clearly lost in thought. “Two days after the barrier opened.”

“Handled?” Wendy inquired. “What ever do you mean by ‘handled?’”

“Uh, Mrs. Darling, no offense, but I don’t think that matters right now.” Ben rubbed his temples. “What matters is that Hannah made our jobs a heck of a lot easier. Thank you, for that, by the way.” 

“No problem.” Hannah choked for a moment, trying to get a hold on your breathing. “Also does Gothel call everyone flower in person or is it just me? I don't think she even calls her own kids flower—”

“The only person she’s ever called ‘flower’ was me.” Rapunzel swung her frying pan in one hand absentmindedly. “Because I was her ‘replacement flower’ of sorts.”

“Ew.” The brunette shuddered. “That’s weird. I knew from her show and her kids that she was nutso but that's waaaaaaay more nutso than I thought!”

Evie noticably paled at that but said nothing: Hoping no one would notice. 

“Agreed, kid.” Eugene grumbled.

The kid in question grumbled. “I don't get paid enough for this.”

Jay snorted. “You're the captain of your crew, don't you pay yourself?”

“Nuh uh, man.” Hannah shook her head frantically. “Aaron Bog handles the financials, not me.”

“Do you fools not see?” Leah suddenly jutted in. “This is what happens when we open the barrier. Our children and grandchildren’s lives are at stake, so we can save the spawn of treachery?”

Carlos, Mal, Jay, Evie, and Hannah all stared daggers at her. 

“Oh sure, let more isle children who didn't do shit die. Nice. Real heroic. Not.” The pirate captain rolled her eyes, crossing her arms. “Also hope you're happy: tou murdered an innocent tree nymph when you polluted the isle and orphaned her kid. And that's not even including the baby I found on the barrage from here or that little fairy girl who somehow ended up on the isle. Gee, no wonder your granddaughter went villain mode with your attitude and logic. I've seen better parents and grandparents on the isle where all crime is legal.”

Leah was fully shocked into silence. So were all the other heroes, leaving Ben to once again pick up the pieces. But not before firing some shots Leah’s way. “Queen Leah…Hannah’s right. Please be quiet while we handle the matter at hand.” 

He ignored Kristoff, who cackled and said “Gottem!”

“Hannah, how exactly did you manage to anger the Isle’s most powerful villains?”

“Uh, well Frollo's pretty easy to anger. You just gotta tape some very detailed magazines on the window of his shop and he'll run after you. I told EQ that I was the reason her magic wasn't working and told her she was gonna die in a retirement home. I dyed Cruella's furs purple. I reminded Gaston that he didn't have only boys and told him a joke about him getting the ‘no-Belle prize’. And I have absolutely zero clue  why Gothel's after me because I was supposed to make her lose it tomorrow so Peachy, Mason, and Glenn could get their shit and get out.” Hannah hummed, rolling over so that her face was on the cobblestone floor. Hoping that would help her breathing even out. 

Everyone just stared. Ben took a breath, certain that he now had several more gray hairs. “Oooooookay. Um…any idea how to calm them down peacefully?”

Hannah paused, biting her thumb. “Well, you could let them throw their tantrums and get bored. That usually takes six hours to a day, though.”

“That’s…oddly specific. Why?”

“Why what?” The teen tilted her head ever so slightly to hear him. 

“The whole ‘six hours to a day’ thing.” Ben waved his hands slightly to indicate.

“Oh that's just the average amount of time it takes them to chill out whenever something sets ‘em off.” She waved the question off. “They aren't very peaceful or reasonable people.”

“Then I say, we fight ‘em off!” Merida slammed her fist on the table, bow raised up high.

Mulan, still sitting down, pointed at her. “What she said.”

“Hold on, Mulan and Merida are here—” Hannah quickly tried to sit up, excited only to get light headed. Causing her arms to give out from under her and leading her to face plant on the ground. Hard. 

Everyone winced. 

“I’m okay! Only lost a tooth!... And uh, messed up my hearing aid. But I can still kinda hear you!”

After giving one last worried look at Hannah, Ben turned to Merida and Mulan. “Okay, look. I’d rather solve this without getting anyone hurt, but if they don’t want to reason…I suppose we could send the guards to deal with this.”

“And me!” Merida pointed at herself with an arrow, coming dangerously close to stabbing herself in the chest.

“Yes, Merida. And you.” Ben face palmed. “Damn it, Hannah, no offense or anything, but why did you even piss these guys off in the first place?”

“I told you the Gaston twins—”

“The whomst?” Beast interrupted abruptly.

“The Gaston twins, Gaston's oldest sons, asked me for a favor. They wanted to move them and their remaining siblings and cousins out but couldn't with him there for risk of their safety. So they asked me for help—” Hannah quickly zeroed in on the core four “–which absolutely none of you are allowed to tell any of my siblings, ever.”

“There’s more of them?” Beast looked horrified. Ben looked to the heavens, asking Zeus to grant him strength.

“Not. the point. Dad.” 

“So anyway, I figured I could kill like, three birds with one stone and informed my crewmates, Athena Grimhilde-Tremaine-Westergaard and Eduardo Frollo, of my plan so they could get their things and so Eduardo could get his older sister out too. Then I figured I could steal the things Cruella was withholding from her sons, their cousins, and the Badun cousins so they would neve have to go back. Played distraction for all of them after I dropped the stuff off and got seen by Gothel, who started calling me her new flower and chasing me because the streaks in my hair glowed or something in the moonlight.” Hannah shrugged. “It seemed like a good idea?”

“And you brought them here?” Fairy Godmother clasped her hands, eye twitching. “Now, was that a good idea, or a bad idea?”

“Considering that I'm fourteen and bleeding out with absolutely no other options at the moment, yes it was a good idea to bring them to the place the wonderful and supposedly kind Fairy Godmother usually is.” The teen glared definitely. “Especially since I'm cleaning up the mess you made when you decided these people were good enough to take care of children.”

Fairy Godmother opened her mouth to retort, but Ben interrupted. “Wait, did you say you’re bleeding out?!”

“Oh yeah. Forgot to mention that, Gaston kinda shot me.”

“WHAT?!”

[gyubby99]

Jelsa headcanons because THEMMMMM LOOK AT THEM

Elsa is an insomniac and Jack is a heavy sleeper I HAVE SAID IT AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN.

Love language is physical touch. Loves holding hands often to remind them that they're more than just cold hands

Elsa loves looking at him when he's not looking. And when he does, she smile grows as he smiles as well.

Dumbasses. There are millions of dumbasses but they're my favorite.

Elsa sometimes doesn't get his dad jokes

Jack talks about Elsa the way Aladdin talked about Jasmine to the genie in that one scene

In Taylor Swift songs, I would describe their relationship dynamic as the 'sweet nothing' and 'afterglow' type.

THEY BOTH ARE MAMA'S BABIES. JACK IS A MAMA'S BOY AND ELS IS A MAMA'S GIRL. FOR SURE.

They both do not know how to dance and they just sort of learned to dance with each other.

Elsa takes her gloves off when she's with him. (Pre-coronation)

I don't think Elsa gives him the silent treatment when they fight. She knows that all his life people were passing through him like he doesn't exist, so pretending that he doesn't exist would strike a memory in him.

Constantly argues, but not too much. It's normal for them to have disagreements and things doesn't necessarily have to end up with them raising voices.

Elsa will do anything to get cuddles with this man. Everything.

Enjoys stargazing.

Elsa has panic attacks, Jack has nightmares. Get them therapy.

They're menaces that Tooth and Anna has to keep in a leash constantly /hj

Jack: "I still love you no matter how many times you sing in the middle of the night"

Jack is Elsa's ball of sunshine aside from Anna.

Jack jokes about how big her eyes are

Elsa steals his hoodie.

Jack is a switch for sur-

I cannot stress enough how much they love being in each other's arms. Ten page long essay. Powerpoint presentation. I'll do it.

They'd be cheezy parents that their future kids would be embarrassed of them being over each other.

Jack kisses her all over when she's mad at him

They both play pranks at Anna

Jack makes funny faces to make Elsa laugh when she's upset and it works.

Their mutual pining lasted longer their actual relationship /hj

Jack has scars on his back from when Pitch yeeted him, and Elsa was the first one he trusted to see them.

Elsa is a songwriter and he listens to her works.

Their first kiss was under the mistletoe

They make perfect snow angels

Elsa makes a huge ass snowball like she did with Anna in that one short clip while chasing Jack in high heels and he'd never felt more terrified and inlove before in his life.

Jack's the flirty one, but when elsa flirts back, best believe he just stands there beet red.

Jack is big on surprises, and Elsa loves giving gifts.

Their pet name for each other is either Love, or Snowflake/Frosty. Im not accepting anything more. This is my headcanon.

Elsa is thirsty for him. Girlie I know what you are. She's the thirsty one in the relationship

They're both bisexuals :)

Jack fell first, Elsa fell harder.

Sunshine = Elsa. Sunshine protector = Jack.

Jack gets along with Elsa's snow children (olaf, marshmallow, snowgies) very well. They're his children now. Marshmallow has a soft spot for his dad. All of them appeared in Jelsa's wedding. Marshmallow cried.

Jack starts the snowball fights, Elsa finishes them.

Lots of bickering.

Jack teases her about the "let it go" sequence and she loathes it.

They both play with Sandy's dream sands.

Elsa gets along with Tooth very well. Me personally, I see Tooth as too busy swooning over Elsa's teeth to consider her a love rival. They're besties and that is the hill I am prepared to die on.

For the first time in Jack's life, when they first started dating, Jack Frost was on the nice list.

North SHIIIIPPS THEMMM. He'd be the type to embarrass Jack in front of Elsa and HE WOULD. HE WOULD.

The elves adore Elsa and Jack had to shoo them away for being all over her.

Elsa helps North make toys and Jack is just being Jack.

They love playing with each other's hairs. They can't stand cuddling without doing it.

Elsa, surprisingly, was an open book to Jack.

Jack's favorite pillow is her lap.

[saline-coelacanth]

Which disney couple do you see Jay and Cole as?

(Like Rapunzel and Eugene for example?)

Honestly, you could probably fit them into a lot of Disney couples (I thought about quite a few of them) and I think the one that fits the best is probably Aladdin and Jasmine. Because Aladdin's whole thing is that he's poor and he wants the princess to love him so he pretends to be a prince which feels so much like Jay and his insecurities about being from a junkyard. Heck, Skybound even does a similar thing where Jay wishes he wasn't from a junkyard and I wouldn't be surprised if they took some inspiration from Aladdin there. Also I know this is a minor thing but Aladdin is a thief and back in season 5 when Jay became leader, he immediately decided "we're gonna steal the scroll from Ronin". Not a super strong connection, I just like pointing out that moment from season 5 lol.

And then Cole being Jasmine feels pretty fitting because Jasmine doesn't really want to be a princess, she feels trapped in the palace and wants to actually go out and explore which feels fitting for Cole and his whole thing of not wanting to become a performer like his dad. Also side note but Cole having a dead mom is very Disney Princess energy. Anyway, back to Jasmine, another thing is how she realizes that Aladdin was lying to her about who he was sort of reminds me of again, in Skybound, where Cole quickly realized Jay was lying about how he got his "secret hideout". Idk the parallels aren't as strong with Cole and Jasmine as they are with Jay and Aladdin, but they're still there.

[airasora]

That moment when you start seriously questioning yourself cause Aladdin is still one of your faves even tho you never had any interests in bad boys etc

Tho then again granted I haven’t seen the second movie or tv show and can’t really remember much bad from the third so I always viewed Al way differently and the moral of at least the first on and understood him.

Again this isn’t trying to demand you to feel the same but I’m just feeling so weird overthinking this now xD Like always agree to disagree

The issue I have with Aladdin is that his character arc in the first movie is his insecurities and that he lies to Jasmine to win her heart. I think he would be completely fine if that was the only time he lied to her, but it's not.

Second movie, he lies to her again. We even have Jasmine questioning him, asking him if he's sure he isn't hiding something and it results in a big fight, when Jasmine discovers the truth. She says: "More secrets? More lies? Oh, Aladdin, I thought you had changed."

It's made pretty clear that Jasmine still very much remembers how their relationship started on a lie with the way she's acting before and after he lies to her again.

And once more in the third movie, he lies! It's not made into as big of a deal as it is in the sequel, but he does still keep her in the dark... AGAIN.

And I can't remember the show too well, but I'm guessing he probably lies and hides stuff from her in a few episodes there too. At this point, it would almost be out of character for him NOT to hide something from her.

There's nothing wrong with liking Aladdin. In the long run, he's a fictional character and I am by no means judging anyone here; I am into yandere characters for fuck's sake, I am in no position to judge xD

Just as another reminder: I would have no problems with Aladdin if the lying was kept to just the first movie. It's the fact that he keeps doing it.

You don't need to defend yourself; you're allowed to hate or love any fictional character you want to :)

I grew up with a mother who taught me to always try to see things from other people's perspectives because it helps with not only sympathizing with people, but also figuring out how to either help them or at the very least cope with their behavior. My first instinct when someone is doing or saying something bad is "Why are they doing this?" so I fully understand what you mean when you say you always try to think the best of people and characters.

It's just that, to me at least, continuously lying to your partner like Aladdin does would be a deal breaker for me, whether it be a romantic partner, a friend or anyone really.

[thetimelordbatgirl]

So I watched the teaser for Red and I have lots of questions:

Why Cinderella’s hair and Chloe’s hair blue?

Isn’t the actress for Chloe half white?

Why there’s a Merlin Academy hall of fame in Auradon?

Why Queen of hearts have a beef with Cinderella? Isn’t that supposed to be Lady Tremaine?

Why Uma is principal?

Why didn’t they change Beast’s statue to Ben’s?

Isn’t Wonderland an imagination in Alice’s head?

Why the Villains are considered VKs?

Why the heroes are in school with the villains? Especially Jasmine, Aladdin and Cinderella?

What’s going on with this?💀

Answering in order here:

*Honestly no fucking clue- I assume its because they want their main characters to have colorful hair like the prior main characters in Descendants 1-3, but even their hair looked better then Cinderella's, both young and old, and Chloe's blue hair. I really don't get why they were allergic to just, letting Brandy and Malia keep their normal hair instead of shoving ugly blue wigs onto them, but... *I do not know about Malia Baker's ethncitiy, I just know with the ugly blue wig and the lighting on that photo shoot, she looks light- not as light as Audrey did at times in D3 with her blonde hair, but you know, its up there. I do know Descendants fucked up when announcing this whole film, aka implying Dara Renee was casted as Chloe, but nope, turns out Dara is playing Ulyana, Ursula's latest younger sister, and Malia Baker is playing Chloe...so don't know what the fuck happened with Descendants there but....and if Malia is half-white...yeah I guess I wouldn't be surprised with Descendants and their track record with POC....or actually Hollywood in general, sufferer of Fate the Winx Saga here... *I can only assume its because Auradon Prep took Merlin Academy's place when Beast established it and such. How it affects what Ben said in D1: "Auradon prep, originally built over 300 years ago and converted into a high school by my father when he became king." can only be described as contunity/timeline breaking....aka Descendants favorite past time- but because of this, I just guess they count Merlin Academy students as ones to honor, since they learnt here once as well. *I have zero fucking clue WHY Cinderella and Queen Of Hearts have beef beyond someone in the Descendants writing room likely threw darts randomly and whoever they landed on would be parents of main characters and also have random as fuck beef- though bold to assume they'd allow Tremaine and Cinderella to have beef, D3 basically at the end was pro-forcing victims to forgive their abusers so like...

*Uma's teaser established that she was asked by Mal (no D*ve means get used to Descendants finding ways to mention Mal in this film) to become principle of Auradon Prep, so uh, that's why- no clue where Fairy Godmother is but she is confirmed to be returning in the movie so like- personally, I don't think Uma as principle makes sense character wise, but I do also see the reasoning other's have used for this character decision so like...its not the worst thing in this film. *I'm pretty sure the statue is less of a current ruler thing and more of a founder thing, since Ben said his father wanted it to remind people anything is possible when Beast founded Auradon Prep. I also don't really see Ben caring much for a statue of himself, since he doesn't give me the vibes of that. Plus, bold of you to assume Descendants films would give Ben a statue, they'd give Mal one over him with how Ben was treated in D3 in comparison to Ben, the actual ruler, during the meeting scene. *In terms of the animated film only? The vibes are that yes, Alice imagined Wonderland after dozing off, since she wakes up back in reality just as shit is hitting the fan. But let's be real, Descendants stopped caring about keeping to the animated films a while back, so they just gonna make Wonderland a real place and roll with it basically. *Answering those two together really on the VKs thing and the school thing: because Descendants is now entering EAH/SFGAE rip off terrority really, aka the idea of future fairy tale heroes and villains attending school together basically. Therefore, all animated films stuff and Descendants contunity/timeline is thrown out the window in favor of this. Like Jasmine and Aladdin logically should not be meeting at this point because they meet first time in animated and Jasmine was kept inside the palace her whole life?? Cinderella at this age would technically be being forced to be step-family's servant and therefore not likely allowed to attend school even? FUCK IT- rip off time! Not like EAH can do much since Mattel basically killed it in the end and SFGAE is doing god knows what right now...

And to that last question: "What's going on with this? 💀" Good question! I do not fucking know. I just know I wish someone would put the dumpster fire out already, but when this movie was announced, it was two movies, so god help us if they go ahead with the second one...

Kalim and Jamil are kinda like Aladdin and Jasmine...

So. Did you know. That the og Aladdin from 1992, has 2 sequels? I didn't know either until resently. So I had the BRIGHT IDEA to watch them all. SO. I rewatched Aladdin 1992, then it's sequels, Return of Jafar, and King of Thieves. While in this ''marathon'' I noticed something, that our favorite Scarabia duo resemble some of the characters and no I'm not talking about Jafar and the Sultan. I'll admit they're some resemblences obvi but I'll get into later. So here I am talking about how Jamil and Kalim remind me of Jasmine and Aladdin because I'm having a JamiKali brainrot and this is how I'm getting over it.

Also Spoiler Warning for all 3 movies (Plus book 4)! Go watch them if you want but spoiler alert Return of Jafar and King of Thieves both look AWFUL compared to the original I'm not kidding the budget went down SUFFIENTLY. Quick google search told me this:

Aladdin: 28 million USD

Return of Jafar: 5 million USD

King of Thieves: 3.5 million USD

Anyways with that small vent outta the way let's get into it.

-Jamil and Jasmine:

Look at me comparing the servent with the princess, the irony imma right? Anyway. So it is true that Jamil and Jafar have more similarities then Jamil and Jasmine but I don't really like resonating Jamil with Jafar cause Jafar (warning mention of gross shit) KISSED AND SEXUALISED A MINOR BY MAKING HER WEAR THIS?!?!

SHES 15 IN THIS MOVIE BTW WTF JAFAR

And now whenver I think of Jafar I think of this. Disgusting. I'm not putting Jamil at his level NOPE. Moving on from that shit.

So back to Jasmine and Jamil the main similarity inbetween the 2 I see is they both have a similar goal.

They both wish to be free.

Jasmine's main conflict in this movie is her not wanting to be a part of the steriotypical princess life. Her father wants her to marry a prince and sends suitors her way all the time, despite her rejecting all of them. She says herself that she doesn't want to marry some self-absorbed prince who only cares about money and sees her as an object of marriage. She wants to marry for love. Not only that she also just wants to be able to leave the palace for once as she never has, she wants to make real friends, as she never had one. This is what leads up to the desicion of running away. She escaped the palace and was planning on not returning, but then, she meets Aladdin who is captured by some guards because of Jafar's orders and to save him, reveals herself as the princess, forcing her to go back to the palace.

Jamil is in a similar boat. The main reason for his overblot in Book 4 is that he is fed up with having to dim himself down just for Kalim's sake. Always being second best cause he needs to let Kalim shine. He also wants to be able to make his own desicions. He wants to not have to listen to his parents who presured him into this in the first place. He doesn't want to have to do everything Kalim wants/says. He wants to travel around and see a Whole New World (hehehhehehehe). While their goals are somewhat different, they both collided into the same general concept. Wanting to be free.

And then there's a ''A Whole New World''. A song about basically just following your heart, leaving your confinments, and experiencing a ''whole new world'', aka a life of freedom and being able to decide/make choices for yourself. For Jamil, leaving his status as servant and traveling all over the world, and for Jasmine, marrying someone for love and not being seen as an object. (There is also ''Speechless'' from the live action but we aren't talking about that one so-)

-Kalim and Aladdin:

So for these's two there is less but something none the less. For Kalim and the Sultan, the main similarities I see are them both being oblivious go happy people and terrible judges of character despite saying otherwise!/hj (But fr they both share the same line of ,''I'm an incredible judge of character!'', at some point in their stories)

Now moving on to Aladdin the man himself. The main thing I could find in relation with these 2 were their generally kind hearts.

In the end of Aladdin (1992), Aladdin has the right for one final wish and Genie encouranges him to use it on making him a prince again so he can marry Jasmine. Stating that he will ''Never find another girl like her'', and Genie is ready to be sealed away again back in lamp. But Aladdin decides to wish for Genie's freedom instead (also since he promised him at the beginning of the movie when he first found him). Genie is overjoyed and hugs all of them. This also makes the Sultan reliese how good of a person Aladdin is despite lying for half this movie and gets rid of the rule that a princess must marry a prince (And makes me wonder why he didn't do this before but whatever).

There is also the beginning of Return of Jafar where Aladdin finds some thieves trying to steal some treasure from a temple. Aladdin defeats them and takes the gold himself. But instead of keeping it he gives it to all the poor people in Agrabah who need it more then him.

Now go ahead and tell me Kalim isn't as kindhearted as Aladdin if not MORE. Go ahead I'll wait.

Kalim helps everyone around him. No matter who they may be or their status. A good example of this is in his sport vignette.

Kalim sees Ortho all by himself. When he asks what's wrong, Ortho says Idia promised to play with him but got busy cause his game got an event update and he is in hardcore gamer mode. Kalim agrees to play with Ortho instead despite starving from coming out of PE.

And that made me smile like an idiot so here :)

AND WE ARE DONE

I totally didn't spend an hour writing this ahahahahahahahahah (pls don't flop)-

Thank you for coming to my TED talk if you made it this far you are a trooper. I might write a fanfic about this but who knows (it would be my first non oneshot thing and idk if I'd ever finish it-)

Also I'm not provereading this cause I'm lazy-

I hope you enjoyed my brainrot vent sesion! BYEEEEEEE

Have them :)

Given everything that happened between him and Brooke last week, Tyler shouldn't be on his way to meet Toni at her family's Hotel. It felt wrong, like he was backstabbing her. Despite their breakup, nothing else has changed. His feelings for her were immoveable. He'll love her for the rest of his life even if she moves on. Which according to her roommate that's exactly what she was doing. Tyler offered her five grand to watch over Brooke, but was told she already packed her bags and left.

Tyler should be convincing Toni to get out of town too. If the Vipers don't have Brooke and Isadora to slither around, they might notice her and think she's his new lover. The difference between her and Brooke though, is the fact that Toni was already smack dab in the middle of it, with or without him. After digging into her father's case, he learned he was in bed with the mob.

Walking through the lobby, Tyler gets checked by security and after a small altercation, he spots Toni on her way over to have him unhanded. "Couldn't leave my name at the door? Or do you just like watching me squirm?" Although playful, there's an emptiness in his eyes. He was much paler too. The drugs and sleepless nights have already stolen a few years of youth away from him. Then again, Toni was probably more used to this slightly more beat-up version of himself anyway.

"I can't believe this is all yours, Tones. Or will be." The Hotel reminds him of The Sultan's Palace from Aladdin which would make Antonia Jasmine. It's only fitting he would be Aladdin; the thieving street urchin. He supposes that would make Volchok Abu, who he left in charge at The Den.

"Did you have a chance to meet Kyle?" Unfortunately after speaking with Monica, he wasn't sure that was such a good idea anymore.
