If they’re being so sweet, gentle and soft with each other, why am I the one who’s hit with all the feelings?

She knew she was spinning the facts, but she was like a drowning woman, clinging to any piece of floating wreckage to justify her love for her diabolical Adonis. [...] Had her mind been addled by romance to the extent that she was willing to wreck her life over an absurd and wildly unrealistic hope? Or was she like Captain Ahab, determined to capture her quarry and force it to her will, even if it meant expiring in the process?
— Anna Biller, Bluebeard’s Castle, (2023)

Horny Dracula fans, take two
I made this poll already but I left off names like an idiot so let me do my spiel again
You have been given an unlimited budget and an unlimited run time to make your ideal adaptation of Dracula. You can be as faithful or unfaithful as you want, it's all up to you, with one caveat:
Dracula has to have a relationship, sexual or romantic or both, with one of the humans.
Now if I just made a poll right here, the answer would overwhelmingly be Jonathan Harker. Let's be real. Even if you don't personally ship it, he's the one Dracula spends the most time with, he's the one Dracula declares to be his and stares at while saying "I too can love," Jonathan's plot parallels so many damn "pretty lady with dangerous man" narratives like Bluebeard and Scheherazade and so on and so forth, it all writes itself
so I have removed him as a choice because I'm genuinely curious as to who your second choice would be and why
You don't have to vote on what you think would be cute or whatever (I mean you can if you want but given what Dracula is and his goals I don't think he can have a cute or even vaguely healthy relationship with a human), just whatever you think would be most narratively interesting. Whether within the narrative of the existing story or going off in some other direction.
Give me your vampire romance thesis

Okie here's a quick ye old Marco ancestor for tonight.
Leader of ancient Navy Smurfs, who were mostly bands of nautical smurfs assigned to prevent pirating on the seas, which included both pirate smurfs and other species, to make sure supplies got to their intended destinations. Often hired by merchants for that exact reason, Admiral had been doing this job for years and took no shit when it came to piracy.
Rival to Captain Bluebeard and his crew, never quiteee caught them. Bluebeard was a cunning and, to be fair, younger man during the peak of their face offs. Admiral lead a thoroughly successful pirate hunting career in all other aspects, Bluebeard's crew tended to be the ones that got away,
Also I lightheartedly reference Tuffy being related to pirates in lou of Marco being a navy descendant/ having personal beef w/ the pepper pirates but remember that Tuffy is a descendant of Skelly's sister, not Swashbuckler himself so the tie is incredibly loose. Unless Swashbuckler's nibling became a pirate. Who knows. Bluebeard's descendant is SmurfStorm but Marco and Storm have no issues.

So uh. Because of @butterfrogmantis's comic from earlier about Skelly's past , I made a crewmate for Bluebeard's crew, and a buddy for Swashbuckler.
Scallywag, AKA Scally for short.
Mischievous little shit, and very VERY short for an adult. Always up to prank the captain (and often have to mop the ship deck as punishment) They probably picked him up from a wreckage or from another pirate ship thinking that he was a kid and he'd make a fine cabin boy... Joke on them, that's just a very smol young adult and a mischievous lil shit He may very much be a Jokey ancestor.

B&B: Please. I Love Her.
*And another old request done! Woo!*
Pairing: Felix x fem!Reader
Prompt: Storybrooke AU. Reader gets badly hurt and Felix tells them how much he loves them.
~~~
“Felix!” you charged into the apartment practically frothing at the mouth. “Get the weapons! We’re gonna go fight some pirates!”
“Wait, what? Pirates?” Felix’s head perked up, “I thought were weren’t allowed to try and kill Hook.”
“No. Not Hook. Different pirate. Someone named Bluebeard and his crew. They’re pillaging the town and we have special permission to use lethal force! Come on! We haven’t had the chance to fight in forever!”
“I’m coming.” He grabbed his club and tossed you your sword. “Let’s go!”
You ran down to the center of town where everyone was facing off with the pirates. Hook was fighting the captain Bluebeard while everyone else took on the rest of the crew. Snow and David saw you coming and sighed a little at the manic joy on you and Felix’s faces.
“Die pirates!” you caught one of the lackeys by surprise and stabbed them through the back, the tip of your sword protruding out their front.
“Oh joy, I was wondering when the jungle rats would make an appearance.” Hook sniped as he dodged another blow from Bluebeard.
“Like you’re not pleased to see us.” you said as you moved onto a new target. “After all, Felix and I have special experience fighting pirates, as you recall.”
“Oh I recall.” Hook snapped, “Now how about you put it to good use?”
“We are!” Felix bashed one of the pirates over the head with his club. “How about you focus on your own fight or do you need one of us to pick up the slack?”
“This really isn’t the best time to be talking!” Emma shouted at you guys.
“Are you kidding?” you slashed the throat of another pirate that tried to attack Regina from behind. “Felix and I would still be carrying on full blown conversations while fighting Hook’s crew back in the day and we never got hurt.”
“Behind you!” Felix shouted and smashed the kneecap of a pirate that tried running up behind you. “We’re rusty. Don’t get cocky.”
“Ugh, fine.” you pouted and went back to work.
Despite all the manpower you had Bluebeard’s crew was monstrous in size. Every time you slayed one pirate there was another waiting. The battle finally started to turn when Hook finally dealt a killing blow to Bluebeard. The remaining pirates, with their captain dead and their numbers dwindling, surrendered or ran.
You breathed out in relief as you ripped your sword back out of one of the pirates you had slain. “Well, that was fun.” you turned to Felix. “I’ve missed this.”
“I have--watch out!” Felix shouted. You turned with your sword raised, ready to defend yourself but it was too late. An injured pirate that you had thought you killed was back on their feet and had shoved a dagger through your stomach as you turned.
The air left your lungs and you froze. The pirate was blown back by a wave of magic but the damage had been done. Reflexively you wanted to pull the blade out but you forced your hands out to your sides. Removing it would only make you bleed faster.
Everything began moving in slow motion. You felt your knees hit the pavement as you collapsed and saw Felix running towards you, his face pale. You glanced back at the dagger sticking out of your body and your eyes rolled into the back of your head.
---
Felix was able to catch you before you fell forward and drove the dagger deeper into your body. Carefully he laid you back on the pavement. You were bleeding. You were bleeding so much. Why was there so much blood?
“Darling? Darling, can you hear me?” he cradled your head in his lap. “Come on, you can’t do this! Wake up!”
“Stop, let me through.” Regina shoved through the crowd and knelt down beside you. “Shit.”
“Fix it!” Felix screamed at her. “Fix her!”
“I’m trying damn it! Give me a minute!” Regina snapped back at him. She looked down at your body and sighed. “Healing magic isn’t that easy. Emma, come here, give me a boost.”
Emma came up and placed a hand on Regina’s shoulder, channeling her magic into her. “Okay. Nobody say anything, I need to concentrate.”
Regina grabbed the hilt of the dagger and tore it back out of your body. The blood began to pour out more rapidly and Felix wanted to scream at her for doing it and making you lose more blood but he bit his tongue. She was helping you. She couldn’t heal you with the knife still in.
A glowing light spread from Regina’s hands and seeped into your abdomen. Sweat trickled from her brow with the effort of it. She wasn’t just closing the wound, she was healing the cut veins, the organs, replacing your blood. And it was taking forever.
Felix knew that she said to be quiet but he couldn’t stop the words from coming out as he stared down at your unconscious face. They were quiet and choked.
“Please,” he whispered, “Please don’t leave me like this.”
His hands shook. Whether from rage or sorrow or fear he couldn’t say. “I love you, darling. I love you so much. And I’m sorry I never say it enough. So please, stay. Hang on for me. If you come back to me, I promise, I’ll say it every day. I love you. I love you.”
The adults were quiet. They had known that you and Felix were together, that you had been together for years even back on Neverland. But you two never acted more than good friends in front of them. It was now though that they saw exactly how deeply you cared for each other. At least, they saw how much Felix cared for you.
And they recognized that his world was ending right before his eyes.
He bent low over you, his forehead almost touching yours so no one could see the tears that gathered in his eyes. Felix was not someone who begged. Not someone who prayed. But he would spend his years kneeling at a pew every day if it meant that you would just open your eyes. “Please. This life isn’t worth living if you are not here with me. Please. Please. Please.”
Please don’t take her from me. Please give her back to me. Anyone. Anything that is watching or listening. Please. I love her. I love her. I love her.
He felt a hand brush his cheek and his eyes snapped open. You stared up at him, your gaze not all in focus but a weak smile pulled at your lips. “You mind? You’re crying on me.”
Felix gathered you in his arms, crushing you to his chest. You winced and he let you lay back down but he was still holding you tight to him. Regina stepped back, satisfied with her handiwork. Your stomach was still tender but you were awake. You were alive!
“I love you.” Felix whispered into your neck over and over as you held you in the middle of the road. “I love you, darling. I love you so much.”
“Felix…” you pulled him back enough to look in his eyes. “It’s okay. I’m okay.”
“I thought I lost you.” he let out a shaky breath. “Don’t ever fucking do that to me again!”
“I’ll try my best. I promise.” you hugged him again, pressing a kiss to his cheek. “And I love you too. I love you so very much.”
Felix relaxed in your arms, quietly muttering the same three words over and over as the fear left his body. “I love you. I love you. I love you.”

SLIPSTREAM: A WIP INTRO
Genre: superhero fiction, new adult Status: draft 0 Tag: slipstream In short: superheroes but they're influencers Serious summary:
Speedster is the first legacy hero in the Agency's history. The first Top Three rank with a direct tie to the first generation of heroes. The fastest thing on legs, the media darling, the good daughter--
Speedster is dead. Kind of. Soon, at least.
Already on her way out, with two hours left to get it done, she dives into the city's underbelly to solve her own murder. But the more stones she turns over, the more she realizes that there's more going on than she has time for. At the center of the ball of yarn she's unwinding is her own murderer: the newest villain on the scene, the Ice King.
Excerpts under the cut:
Bluebeard was the best of the best, until he was the worst of the worst. She doesn't think she'll ever stop hearing the long creak and short, crunching snap of her father's arm under his foot. Bluebeard's laugh, loud and stuttering as a barrel rolling down a plank, louder than the scream her father bit off at the root. What the fuck was she supposed to do to the man who broke the strongest man alive? She was eighteen. She was scrawny. For god's sake, she was just fast. It was only being in slipstream that kept her standing when he threw her like a rag doll. She counted the vertebrae that shook like they'd crack as soon as time caught up. Because they would. Fuck. Across the country, millions of people glued to their TV screens cheered when Speedster discovered that her sheer momentum could count as super strength. That final, screaming, desperate moment when she slammed Bluebeard into the ground and stomped, hard, at the base of his spine. 'Never walk again,' she'd thought, 'you rat bastard. You traitor. Never fucking walk again. Never get up.' She'd flashed a peace sign at the camera and smiled over her fear and fury.
[...]
Asclepius racked her shotgun and leveled it at the Captain's chest. The look on his face asked if she'd really shoot him after all this time, and the look in her eye said yes. "I swore to not do harm first. Get out of my fucking clinic." "Would you really put me down? After everything?" "Like a dog."
"Heroes should die before they fall."

I have many Pirate Berry ideas:
Captain BlackBerry/Bluebeard/Berrybeard the pirate
Button pops onto the eye patch ✔️
“Lest ye be the one to get swabbed off the poop deck”
“Cap’n! We’re taking on juice!”
Roll the plank
“We’ll never get scurvy again!”
Enemy cannonball bounces off blueberry, sinks enemy ship
Booty joke
Berried Treasure
If you have any more ideas let me know!! This has so much potential

Could you retell Bluebeard, but with the genders of everyone swapped?
I'm not sure if this is meant as a request to do it, or as a question about if it could be done, but I think I can answer both with: I think it's possible, but I don't think it'd be very fun
The main cast of Perrault's Bluebeard consists of:
Bluebeard, who has married and murdered several women, presumably all because they are curious enough to sneak into his murder room after he forbade them to
The unlucky bride, who becomes his last wife and is nearly killed for her curiosity
Her older sister, who unlike her sister did not fall for Bluebeard but tries to accompany and help her
Their two brothers, who come to rescue her and kill Bluebeard
It's true that they all have pretty archetypal masculine and feminine roles, but for me subverting this wouldn't be enough to make the story more interesting. While the aesthetic of this story is very strong, the only truly good part of it in my personal opinion, is the ending:
Bluebeard had no heirs, and so his wife became mistress of all his estate. She made use of one part of it to marry her sister Anne to a young gentleman who had loved her a long while; another part to buy captains' commissions for her brothers, and the rest to marry herself to a very worthy gentleman, who made her forget the ill time she had passed with Bluebeard.
I think changing Bluebeard into a woman and the terrified spouse into a man would probably weaken that last part, leaving me very little of the story to root for.
What could be fun is to give the whole thing a Gothic Romance flavour. With a beautiful, cursed lady in a dark, foreboding castle, and an intrepid, wide eyed suitor wandering the halls with a candle, always mere moments away from discovering the horrors hidden behind the locked door... But that's not really my genre and I'm not sure I'd do it justice ^^;
If I were to pick a Bluebeard-type story to retell, I'd probably choose the Italian "How the Devil Married Three Sisters", because that one has a cunning heroine who saves her sisters and thoroughly humiliates the Devil!

I've got the strangest feelin' This isn't our first time around Past lives couldn't ever come between us Sometimes the dreamers finally wake up Don't wake me, I'm not dreamin'
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Idk if this is an au or what, it’s more just a what-if story but y’know we move.
Archie and Pal explore a cool looking island they find one day. Whilst searching the caves, Archie finds an old Diptych Dial (portable sundial often used on ships to tell time), except this one is all weird and glowy. Against his brother’s advice, Archie messes with it.
The island suddenly disappears and they up randomly at sea. Luckily there’s a raft. They climb on, and are in the middle of nowhere. Archie spots a ship, they’re saved! Except they’re not, that’s a very ominous flag.
Archie and Pal end up tied to the mast of the ship. Archie decides to get a last minute confession off his chest. All in all, they’ve had better days.
The Historian Brothers meet the captain – Captain Bluebeard, a fierce and cruel pirate infamous of his time. He intends to see to these landlubbers, when a voice interjects …
… With a pun
Oh shit. That’s Skelly. But like. With flesh.
Archie and Pal’s recognition of Skelly kinda saves their lives. Bluebeard decides to keep them for crew, and gives Swashbuckler the task of training them since they seem to know him. Swashbuckler is very confused.
Archie and Pal discuss their options. They realise now they must have gone back in time, and knowing Swashbuckler’s fate … they realise they have a chance to change it. But this brings up several questions, including the impact this could potentially have on the future – after all, Papa Smurf and Father Time have been very clear about potential consequences for messing with the natural order of events. Archie feels bad for his friend, Pal kind of wants to not fuck up the fate of the universe.
Ultimately, Archie can’t come to terms with his guilt and attempts to gently approach the subject of Swashbuckler avoiding sword fights or even treasure islands. Swashbuckler on the other hand is REALLY disturbed by the fact these strangers seems to know so much about him - I mean that’s just creepy, man – and threatens him. Bear in mind that as fun loving and jolly as Swashbuckler is … he was ultimately still a pirate in life, and took it seriously. Archie thinks he (once again) should have listened to his brother, and backs down.
Archie and Pal start to befriend Swashbuckler … again … as they work on Bluebeard’s ship and try to work out a way of undoing their time fuckery. Swashbuckler starts to realise they’re pretty cool after all, and entertains them with his endless jokes.
Another member of the crew discover Archie’s Diptych Dial and messing with it kinda sorta rips a hole in the space time continuum and releases an ancient beast (Pal is happy!) Father Time is not and shows up to fix everything (you darn kids).
Swashbuckler doesn’t exactly know where his new found friends are going when they tell him they have to leave, but he wishes them a cheery goodbye and hopes they meet again. Archie reconciles with the fact history should stay as it is
Archie and Pal return to their time. Skelly has been wondering where they got to – ooh and he just has to tell them about this insane dream he just had where they were all fighting a giant dinosaur. Weird huh? Yeah, things sure are back to normal.
Archaeologist and Palaentologist (c) The Smurfs
Skelly and BlueBeard are mine
