Masterlist

Summary: Eric chooses the wrong time to go off on a short voyage when (Y/n) goes into labour while he's away. He promised his wife he would be there with her.

(Mention of previous stillbirth)

Enjoy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Not that one."

A gentle smile that flashed his teeth crept onto Eric's face when his head tilted to the side to look over at his wife. His eyes creased at the corners and he let go of the shirt he was just about to fold and pack into the trunk that was set out on the end of the bed.

He watched with a smile that changed into a grin as (Y/n) reached across the bed and took the shirt, reeling it into her chest like it was a fish on a hook she was desperate to catch.

"I need that one… I can't sleep when you're not here."

Eric's heart did a small flip in his chest when he watched (Y/n)'s eyes cast down to her hands and that small, blushing smile that he loved so much was almost hidden from her face. He closed the trunk and moved round to sit on the edge of their bed, reaching his hand out to rest on (Y/n)'s knee.

"Okay, that shirt stays with you." His voice was soft and quiet and it made (Y/n)'s heart flutter when she looked up through her lashes. "I won't be gone long, sweetheart."

"I know,"

He knew it was hard for (Y/n) when he had to leave for voyages like this and Eric had cut down his voyages a lot in the past few years. When (Y/n) used to come along with him, they went out almost every month and it was perfect because they were together.

Now she was pregnant, again, going on a voyage was out of the question and even though Eric didn't join every voyage his ship coursed out on, he had to go on a few. He had to be there to make sure the trades went off smoothly and the ship and the cargo came back in tact and all in one piece. This was the last trip he was going on, then he would be home for when the baby was born and everything that followed afterwards.

"In two weeks, I'll be home with you… both of you."

(Y/n)'s hand moved to tangle in his curls when he leaned over and pressed his palms to her stomach. She could feel his fingertips ever so gently gliding across her exposed skin and when he kissed her stomach, she almost burst into tears.

"Don't be delayed,"

If Eric got delayed or shipwrecked, (Y/n) wouldn't know what to do with herself. She couldn't be alone in the days leading up to the birth, not with how much she was already worrying and how horrid she was going to feel. She needed him here, by her side.

"Don't worry, I'll be home right on time. I always come back to you, don't I?"

***

"(Y/n), darling please! Let us help you-"

"Not. Without. Eric!" Each word rose higher and higher in (Y/n)'s throat until Eric's name was the only thing she could comprehend and she bellowed the word so horridly that everyone in the castle would be able to hear her screams.

She was making the Queen cry.

The ageing Queen who always held her composure and contained her well mannered temper was now stood, crying against the bedpost that was holding her up and preventing her from collapsing to the floor. She wanted so terribly to reach out and take hold of her daughter in law and comfort her in some way, but she couldn't.

No one could get within arms reach of (Y/n) who kept shuffling, crawling and scraping across the floor so that no one could touch her. The one person she wanted was the one who wasn't here. The person who was hundreds, if not thousands of miles away on the sea. No one could get word to Eric that (Y/n) was in labour and no one had the power to bring him right back here where he was needed. All they could do was wish that somehow, their prayers would reach him and give him some sort of sign of their need for him.

(Y/n) had done this before.

She had gone through the night sitting in Eric's arms, waiting for labour to speed up. Then she had spend the day with Eric sat by her side, both of them laughing and crying and in pain together, riding out labour until their baby had been born. And the lifeless, eternally sleeping babe was placed into their arms.

It had all been for nothing.

(Y/n) had lost her baby boy and she didn't know why. Two years of heartache and dull, throbbing days had passed and led up to this moment. This was a time where (Y/n) couldn't have history repeating itself and she didn't want to do this alone. She didn't want to be in pain, crying in agony that she was going to give birth to another lifeless child that would never scream, cry and wriggle in her arms and never grow to be loved.

His name tore from (Y/n)'s chapped lips again as she went down on her hands and knees. Her head tilted in the direction of the balcony that was only a few feet away and she stared out at the unchanging, rioting sea that was mocking her. Telling her it had her husband hidden away somewhere and would never let him come back to her.

"I can't d-do this!"

"Help her, now!" Without waiting for (Y/n)'s response that would surely ensue a fight, the Queen moved into action.

She pushed herself off the bedpost and scrambled down onto her knees in front of the girl she thought of as her own child. When (Y/n) tried to weakly fight her off, she held (Y/n) against her chest and pulled her into a comforting, if broken, embrace. While a midwife and one of the maids knelt down by their legs as the Queen helped (Y/n) turn so her back was pressed up against the Queen's front.

The blood stained into the carpet and it caught (Y/n)'s attention, despite her cries and sobs. It was all she could look at while her body writhed, her legs numbly kicked out and her arms fought and smashed into her own chest to try and release some of the pain she was feeling inside.

"Eric!"

His name broke free from her chapped, bloodied lips the moment the midwife eased the newborn into her arms.

The sharp cry the newborn let out sent (Y/n)'s mind reeling and cut her right to her core. Those petrified screams made it seem like the child had been the one to go through nine hours of pure terror and become ripped apart from the inside out. It was as if the baby had born the harships in these few seconds of life when it was (Y/n) who was the one in pain. She was the one who felt numb and broken and praying everything would just end.

"A boy, Highness."

She didn't care. (Y/n) didn't want to know what was wriggling between her legs. She wanted to disappear. She wanted the ocean to carry her softly away until she found who her heart was aching for.

The newborn's chubby cheeks were burnt red and splattered with dots of blood and fluid, his brows were furrowed and his eyes were clamped shut. The way he wriggled made (Y/n)’s heart flutter, the sight of seeing her baby actually move instead of lay limp in someone else’s arms made her elated. But the screams that tore from his bright red lips made her shrink back in what she could only guess was repulsion.

(Y/n) thought that when this baby was born, she would be sobbing out of either joy or heartache, depending on which way it went. She thought that if their baby was okay she would be fighting the midwife to take them into her arms and hold them with her heart jumping out of her chest. (Y/n) thought it would feel so much better than this, she had heard so many women telling her how having a baby made them feel and (Y/n) was so desperate to have that feeling that she missed out on two years ago.

No one said she would feel closer to the emotions she felt last time than something different she was expecting. No one said she would feel this way.

Even though (Y/n) could feel happiness at knowing their baby was here kicking and screaming, it was dulled down almost completely by the overwhelming terror and the sinking feeling in her heart. Why was he screaming like the world was burning around him? Why did he sound like he was in so much pain when it was (Y/n) who was physically breaking both inside and out?

“Would you like to hold him, your highness?” The midwife’s words sent chills running through (Y/n)’s bloodstream and she dared not open her eyes to look at her baby.

“No.” (Y/n) repeated the word again and again to herself like she was a record stuck on repeat. Each time she whispered the word, it was spoken with more fury and pain and vengeance than before until she was almost screaming.

Her hands moved from her chest to smother her face with her palms, but it didn't stop the horrendous scream from leaving her lips and it didn't hide the tears that were streaming from her face. Every part of her body started to tremble as another scream rippled against her throat and her knees pulled up to her stomach, despite the agonising pain it caused.

(Y/n) wanted to go back.

She wanted to reverse time and rebound to part of her past where it was easier, where she first got married to Eric and everything was alright. Where no one was pestering her about having a child or smothering her when she didn’t do her job and lost her baby. Where no one then wrapped her in cotton wool when she got pregnant again. (Y/n) wanted to feel like herself, she didn’t want to feel like she was both a mother and a deliverer of precious cargo that was to be stolen from her.

She didn't know why, but when she stopped screaming, her body felt like it was fading. She felt like she was drifting away.

“She’s causing herself to haemorrhage, she's going to make herself ill, Majesty."

If she continued to struggle she would suffer a haemorrhage that was almost as bad as her previous one and losing more blood wasn’t going to help.

"I want Eric," It was the only thing that the Queen could comprehend before she felt her daughter in law go limp in her arms. And it was the Queen's turn to be sat on the floor, screaming for someone to help the lifeless girl in her arms.

They needed the Prince.

***

Anticipation, excitement and desire all burned inside Eric like a whildfire spreading through his bones when those all too familiar doors came into focus.

He felt the carriage wheels continue to roll even as Eric pushed himself up and jumped down onto the cobbles before it came to a stop.

He wanted to be inside. Those doors had never had so much appeal as they did these last few years. Never did Eric feel such a strong pull back towards the castle he was always trying to get away from. Until (Y/n). Knowing she was hidden behind those doors created an invisible rope binding her to Eric so when he went out to sea, the rope tugged at his heart strings. He envisioned those doors when he went to sleep, seeing himself pushing them open to find his family that called out to him when he was on a voyage.

Eric always used to think that the sea was where he belonged and nothing could tether him here to the Island when all he wanted was to be out on the rocky seas that claimed him for themselves.

Suddenly, family changed its meaning and home well and truly became the place that held (Y/n). Wherever she was, that was where Eric wanted to be.

With one bag held tight in his fist, Eric burst through the castle doors and heard the wet heel of his boot clack and stomp against the stone floor.

Where was she?

A twinge of disappointment tugged at his heart when he looked around and didn't see a single soul in sight.

Eric had never had to go and find her before. In the back of his mind he tried to chide himself, telling himself he was becoming entitled, but he couldn't help it. Every time he came back from a voyage, his girl was here waiting to pin him to the ground as soon as he stepped back through the doors. He'd never had to go scouting round for her when he came home, not once.

Hadn't she been informed he would be home today?

"Eric!"

That wasn't the voice he was searching for. Unease overtook his body and disappointment grappled in his eyes when his sights set on his mother. He loved her to the ends of the ocean, he truly did and it never mattered that they didn't see eye to eye, their bond was strong. But right at this moment, with his heart pounding in his chest and his bag clenched in his hand, he wanted his wife in his arms, not his mother.

Two weeks had dragged on by into an eternity and Eric was starting to feel withdrawl symptoms from his girls. He had to sleep at night on a swaying, rocking boat and refrain from reaching his arms out in the dark to try and find (Y/n). He had to wake in the dead of night and come to the realisation that the voice he heard was only a dream. He had to calm himself down and swallow down a gasp when he

remembered he was thousands of miles away from his wife. He had to pin himself to the bed and remind himself that he couldn't go searching for his wife when he realised she wasn't in his arms.

If Eric ever went on a voyage without (Y/n), he could guarantee that the moment he stepped through the castle gates, there she was. Stood at the doors waiting to jump into his open arms and whisper how much she had missed him.

"Eric, oh Lord you're finally back."

Eric didn't like the look on his mother's face or the way she seemed to relieved to see him. She didn't look angry, he knew that expression well. And she didn't look disgruntled or irritated, but he couldn't place how she was staring at him. Her arms hooked around his neck and reeled him down into an unsettling hug that made his breath get caught in his lungs for a few moments.

Why was she so thrilled to see him? Had there been storms nearby that made them worry he would be shipwrecked? Did they hear some wrong news that he had been injured or might be delayed?

"I am, is everything alright? Where's (Y/n)?" Leaning down, Eric pressed a kiss to her temple but he couldn't stop himself from looking around the hallway in case (Y/n) was about to come out from the shadows at any given moment and surprise him. He moved his hands to hold her elbows, steadying her but also keeping her close while he waited, somewhat impatiently, for a response.

"Thank goodness you're home," It was only then that Eric heard the fear in his mother's voice and realised that she was shaking from how badly she was gripping his arms. "You need to come with me. Now."

"Why?"

Something sparked to life in his vibrant blue eyes but his shoulders raised and tensed when he watched his mother press her lips together tightly in a way she did when she was nervous. She moved to grab his wrist and tried to drag him along with her but he was far too strong for her to move; he was a boulder in the ocean, unmoveable and set in his ways. He wanted to know what had happened and he wanted to know now.

"Tell me what's happened."

"Eric, sweetheart… she's had the baby."

He didn't realise he was falling until he felt his mother's nails digging into his wrist and Grimsby's arms bound beneath his arms to hold him upright. His knees bent out, his chest started to shake and no air seeped into his lungs as he let Grimsby push him back up onto unsteady feet that were about to collapse again.

She couldn't have.

(Y/n) couldn't have had the baby yet. It was too early. He was supposed to be here when it happened.

Eric was supposed to be home in plenty of time to prepare for the baby and he here to hold (Y/n)'s hand and curl her into his side and pray for her safety. This wasn't supposed to happen while he was away at sea and he stupidly thought he would be safe to have a two week journey and come home to find his wife perfectly fine with no signs of early labour.

She had been a week overdue the last time and things hadn't gone smoothly; far from it. Something within Eric told him, or rather lead him to believe that this baby would be right on time or another late arrival.

How stupid he had been.

"Is she alright?" Eric croaked through the words but he was already off in a sprint, halfway up the stairs with his mother in tow behind him along with Grimsby. Both of them running, the Queen lifting her skirts as they tried to keep up with the Prince who was stumbling over his feet.

He used the bannister as leverage to propell himself up the second flight of stairs and spared a glance behind him before he was running down the hall to find his wife.

Why had he gone away?

"Eric-"

"Mother is she alright?! Oh God, please, mother please…" Eric stumbled back a step when he felt her hands coiling around his arm, pulling him into her chest until he almost toppled her over.

His hands clamped down on her shoulders and his vision blurred with tears as he stared down at his mother, desperate to have an answer and be put out of his misery now. He couldn't have missed the birth of his second child. He had been there for the first and he was supposed to be here this time as well because he knew (Y/n) was fretting history repeating itself. How cruel could the world be that it would let this happen while Eric was out at sea?

"She needs you."

That meant she was alive and that was all Eric needed to hear.

With a hand pressed against her lower chest, the Queen leaned against the wall and grabbed Grimsby's arm to prevent him from following the Prince down the hall. They had to give the couple space and as much as she was desperate to check on (Y/n) and how she knew Grimsby would want to see the Princess as well, they had to stay back. For now.

The door opened much too easily as if Eric thought it would be locked or barracaded when he reached it. The door swung open and had Eric on his knees over the threshold, one hand on the door and one hand on the floor.

"Sweetheart,"

For a moment, (Y/n) thought his voice was a mirrage. She thought her mind was tricking her again like it had last night when she woke up, blazed with a fever, scrambling onto the floor when she thought she heard Eric coming home.

When her eyes set on him, a torrential downpour of tears flooded her face and a horrid, gurgling cry left her lips as her arms stretched out for him.

"Oh, sweetheart," What was she doing on the floor? Eric pushed himself up and stumbled across to where he could see his wife but he hadn't expected her to be curled up on the floor. He had been looking towards the vacant bed which had covers and pillows strewn all over.

There was his girl. The one who had been on his mind every second of every minute that passed by for the last two weeks.

She was sat awkwardly on the floor with her legs curled beneath her like they were broken and useless. Her body was slumped back against the bedframe with one arm slumped over the cot that was at the foot of the bed which her head was also resting on. Just the sight of the cot made Eric choke on a scream. He knew it was the same cot that they had gotten two years ago. The chip was still in the edge and there was a long crack down the side of the wooden cot.

The last time Eric saw that wretched thing, he had kicked it, threw it across the room and launched everything at it until it chipped and cracked and Grimsby had to pin him to the floor to stop him.

He thought it had been thrown out. He didn't realise his mother had kept it and defied his orders to have it burned. Eric had been expecting to just buy a new one and he wasn't sure if he was pleased or not that the old one was back in their room again.

"Eric," His name passed (Y/n)'s lips on a repeated loop and as soon as he was knelt in front of her, Eric swept her up into his arms.

His fingers dug into her toussled hair and his other arm bound to her waist until her chest was merged with his and he could feel each ragged, clawing breath fanning against his neck. Her lips pressed against his skin and he was sure she bit his neck too, but he didn't care. He scratched his nails against her scalp just to make sure this wasn't some sort of wretched dream and he leaned back until (Y/n) was slumped on his chest.

He could feel her nails digging into his upper back, scratching and clawing through his shirt and when she cried, each sound shivered through Eric's neck until he was sobbing into her hair.

It didn't occur to him until that moment to tilt his head and peek into the cot they were sat next to. His mother never said anything about the baby and he didn't think to ask; his first and only priority was (Y/n). But when he leaned over the side, he pulled (Y/n) tighter into his chest and pushed up higher onto his knees.

There was a baby in the cot.

A wriggling, stirring, yawning little baby that seemed too good to be true in Eric's unfathomable mind.

"I'm so sorry I wasn't here," Eric nudged his eyes against (Y/n)'s shoulder to brush away his tears and when he pulled back a little, he moved his hand from the back of her head to cup her neck. "Are you alright?"

"You're home," (Y/n) couldn't answer because she didn't know if she was actually alright or not. All she knew was that she felt broken, bruised, numb and now held together now that Eric was back.

"Why are you down here, you should be resting."

Eric went to move her but he stopped when one of her arms reached out and shakily reached over the crib. Her fingers skimmed across the newborn's chest like she was too afraid to actually touch him and it made Eric's heart speed up with hope and fear all at the same time.

"A-another boy,"

"I can see that, and I can't begin to tell you how proud I am of you. But first, I need to make sure you're alright."

He didn't give her time to question or say a thing. His arms moved to slip beneath her bent knees and the other stayed curved around her back so he could carefully ease her into his arms as he stood up. His eyes took a sneaking glance back into the crib, just to reassure himself that their second son really was there and not just a figment of his imagination. Then he moved over towards the bed and gently laid (Y/n) back down where she should have stayed.

"I'm sorry-"

"I don't want to hear that from you, it's me who should be sorry. I promised I'd be here and I wasn't. I'm never leaving you, ever."

He tried to get (Y/n) to lay down but she wouldn't, her arms bound around his neck and reeled him closer until he was thrown off balance and fell forward onto her with a grunt. His left arm stayed pinned between her back and the soft mattress while his right hand pressed down into the mattress to stop his full weight from falling onto her and risk hurting her.

"You're home," Her lips kissed him eagerly, hungrily and desperately and when her fingers skimmed across his cheek, Eric reached up to grab her hand and hold it closer.

"I'm home." He smothered her lips with his, nipping at her lower lip and pulling it between his teeth as his tears merged with hers. Eric kept her hand pressed against his cheek, nuzzled into her touch and desperately kissed her like she was the oxygen he needed to survive.

He wasn't going anywhere ever again. He couldn't go on a voyage unless (Y/n)- and now their son- were by his side.

It was a risk he couldn't take anymore.

when his life begins and mine ends

Prince Eric x Gender-NeutralReader

[warning: major angst: heartbreak: mention of suicide]

a/n: yep, this is what im talking about angst... this is dark was going to make this a lot darker with the reader throwing themselves into the sea but decided not too

masterlist

Eric gave his partner a kiss goodbye before he left on his voyage, promising to return. “I promise to bring you back something,” He said, to them and they could only chuckle wrapping their arms around his neck.

“You coming home safely is more than enough.” [Y/n] said, planting a kiss in his lips. Smiling feeling him kiss back.

“There was a shipwreck.” One of the sailors said to them, and they looked at him horrified worried about what happened to Eric. And so made their way to the shore to search for him, and what they saw shocked them..

A mermaid looking down at Eric, as she sung to him longingly. [Y/n] didn’t know why their heart broke in this moment. But seeing how close she was to their lover made them jealous. But that feeling of heartbreak was right, cause they watched as their lover became obsessed in finding this mysterious girl which all culminated into..

———————/

“W-What?” Their voice cracked, as they stared at him in disbelief, and he looked at them sadly.

“I don’t hold the same feelings that I once held for you anymore.” He said, and it’s as if someone had ripped out their heart and casted it aside.

“Oh..” They emotionless, as they slowly looked down at the ground clenching their fists as they tried to fight back the tears.

“Oh…o-okay.” They mumbled, looking up at him forcing a smile on their face.

“Y/n?” He said, and they turned to look at him and shook their head. Before swiftly leaving the room, Eric looked down sadly and then glanced towards the dresser. Which on top was a velvet box with a ring inside he planned on giving to [Y/n] once he returned.

________

As [Y/n] walked further and further down the hall, the realization slowly started to kick in that they were no longer a couple. The moments they shared together now a distant memory. No more stargazing, no more romantic boat rides, and no more playing in the water together.

Tears brimmed their eyes as they walked further down the hall, walking past Grimsby who immediately felt bad for them. He couldn’t help but feel bad, one moment Eric and [Y/n] were happy, they watched him leave on the voyage, and then for him to wash up on shore asking for the mystery girl who saved his life. And to only end things with his partner. Ontop of the fact that he planned on proposing to them.

[Y/n] entire body started shaking, as they exited the castle and walked down the path towards the village. The more their heart ached, the more they wished to throw themselves into the sea to stop this aching pain.

“It’s not fair.” They mumbled, clenching their fist their nails digging into the palm of their hand drawing blood.

“So this is the gift he meant to return a broken heart” they whimpered, as tears ran down their cheeks. They loved him with all their heart, and wanted to marry him one day and possibly start a family.

“But this mystery girl had to come along and ruin it.” They cried, sniffling as they stumbled down the path the castle getting further and further away. The back of their throat burned as they choked back a sob.

‘as his life begins mine ends’

It wasn’t until the tripped and fell to the ground, the waterworks started. It’s as if a dam had broke and a stream of tears ran down their cheeks as they stayed their on the ground crying into their knees.

They hoped that this was all a dream a nightmare, that they’d wake up and he’d be there beside them. Showering them with kisses and hugs. But no matter how many times they opened their eyes, everything stayed the same.

Eric didn’t love them anymore, and that was the hardest thing for them to realize. They’d been together for so long, since they were eighteen and then to only lose it all and for their relationship to become a distant memory.

Life in the next couple of days for [Y/n] didn’t fair any better. Mother and Father died when they were little, older brother lost at sea when they were sixteen. Eric became the light in the darkness for them and now that light is gone leaving them alone.

All the trinkets and gifts, he’d brought back and given to them smashed and broken on the ground. And lying in the middle, [Y/n] crying in a fetal position their arms wrapped around themselves as they cried their heart out. They’d never felt this alone since they were sixteen.

Days later, now one knew what happened to [Y/n]. It’s as if they’d suddenly disappeared into thin air. Someone checked their house to only find it a complete wreck. Eric became worried about what happened to them, and started to blame himself as well. It wasn’t until as he sat on the beach, he noticed something familiar having washed ashore in the corner of his eye. It was a gift he’d given [Y/n] years ago, how’d it get her-?

no..

which zb1 member would be which Disney prince,, I'm curious 🎤

Not cherrie giving me the best questions to answer 💜💜💜 when it’s literally 6am and my insomnia won’t leave me alone 😭

On principle, I find Disney’s portrayal of the princes as very shallow and gender-norm enforcing (i’m sorry I feel very strongly abt this😅) we are not fans so instead I’d probably go for what Disney princess movie fits the vibe of which member when I assign them to princes. I’m also going to be rewriting that movie as I go, sorry in advance to the purists

Pls note I’ve not great at headcanons and indecisive as hell so here we go ~

Jiwoong: The Beast/Prince Adam

If this man could play a Prince in a drama, this is the kind of content I’d pay for

Just like my hogwarts headcanon, man probably invited the sorceress to dinner and asked to be turned into a beast because everyone just liked his face

And he thought he’d be better off if someone liked his personality

Yes he asks for his servants to be turned into furniture for shit and giggles but not like permanently, maybe they all go back to normal at night

reader wonders why he always insist not that they don’t go to the west wing at night. It’s not just the rose but that’s where he and the servants go to like chill and be their human selves (this is getting a little Cupid and psyche lol)

Hao: Prince Eric (The Little Mermaid)

Just the scene of him playing his violin and mer reader listening from a distance

Sometimes they sing along while Hao is playing and Hao is like woah who dat

They probably met as kids and he gave mer reader his old violin because they were curious

Definitely have it displayed in the center of their collection

Wants to be human to hear Hao play more

Hanbin: Prince Charming (Cinderella)

If this man isn’t Prince Charming, idk who is, do not argue with me

Does not have a shoe fetish

Definitely remembers reader’s face, he just wants to return their shoe bruh

And maybe ask reader out idk, not marry them right away

Just imagine dancing with Hanbin to “So this is love” and tell me u aren’t soft

Matthew: Aladdin

For the record, the genie in that lamp would probably be Keita bc he’s been training for 10,000 years (jk)

Watch me cast the whole KTL team (except Hao idk unless we want crossover)

There’s Matthew and there’s Seok Woohyun, don’t tell me he doesn’t think those are two diff people

Just…Matthew singing a Whole New World is a song cover I didn’t think I needed until now pls and thanks

Taerae: Snow White’s Prince

For all the OG Disney fans, you know that one scene where Snow White’s singing by the well and the Prince fucking jump scares her by singing back

Yes that’s Taerae, man will take the opportunity and he has a guitar

yes he will bring the guitar

Once again watch me cast all the Wake One trainees (K+ G) and Junhyeon as the seven dwarves friends who help reader out

Ricky: Prince Naveen (Princess and the Frog)

I’m sorry my eternal headcanon is spoiled Prince Ricky and reader who puts him in his place

Would probably be a bit more sus of this voodoo man turning him into a frog

It’s probably not even a villain, it’s one of the Yuehuaz who happens to know voodoo being like oh you know what would be rlly fucking funny

He gets his whole character development arc and becomes a better young and rich, tall and handsome Prince that’s totally down bad for reader

Gyuvin: Flynn Rider (Rapunzel’s Tangled)

This man steals hearts everywhere he goes (I mean he won every challenge yo)

A lot goofy like they told him during the sleepover, he’s lucky he’s got a nice face

I haven’t got that much for this one

But energy is the same

Gunwook: Captain Shang (Mulan)

He is a leader (class pres/vice pres every year anyone?)

Dude literally takes forever to realize that reader isn’t supposed to be there (literally the en garde hidden cam)

Casting the three other Jellyfish trainees as the soldiers yo

He’s slay “Be a Man” even if I dislike the title of that song, it’s hella catchy

Yujin: Prince Philip (Sleeping Beauty)

He’s a baby YALL pls

Shy, literally just watching reader do their thing in the forest like how this boi literally watched taerae the whole signal song filming (pls see zb1’s bp commentary for red)

He’s not slaying dragons just yet but he be slaying my heart with Noona saranghaeyo

Gives reader an innocent lil peck and they wake up

Maybe it isn’t true loves kiss just yet, more like boy with pure intentions bc literally that’s equally hard to find

Ok thanks for coming to my TED talk and thanks cherrie for this very lovely question. Y’all need to keep asking me more stuff like that very much please and thanks in advance 💜💜💜

Epilogue | 1k words | Smut & fluff

Your pale, sensitive skin was getting red and warm. You recalled your feelings of dread and despair at this sensation merely a month ago. How different things had turned out now. You smiled at that thought, letting your fingers swirl and poke the flower petals and bubbles in your bath. You were in your private bathroom in the castle. Your cast iron clawfoot tub was positioned directly in front of a set of balcony doors, overlooking the ocean. You loved this view; you could watch the sunset from here if you so desired.

A brisk knock on your bathroom door pulled you from your peaceful thoughts.

"Come in," you answered.

The only ones who would be knocking on your bathroom door would either be the palace staff assigned to you or your wonderful husband.

Turning your head back to look as the door opened, you were pleased to see Eric's bright blue hues come into view. A smirk twisted his lips as his eyes traced what he could see of your figure.

"My dear wife, I have come to let you know that I've returned from the market. Rosa let me know that you were in the bath. I couldn't risk your safety. I had to come see for myself that you were okay."

"Oh?"

You pinched your brow and feigned innocence.

"My dear husband, I can assure you that I haven't drowned," you replied with a smug smile.

Bracing your arms on the side of the tub, you stood straight up. Water and bubbles dripping off your naked form drew Eric's hungry eyes. He suddenly closed the distance between you, pressing your wet body to his. His rough hand tenderly cupped your cheek as his arm circled your waist.

"What ever will I do with you, my princess? I only want to keep you locked in this castle with me. I'm afraid no one outside will ever see you again," he whispered, brushing his lips to yours.

You felt goosebumps erupt on your skin at the feel of him. You lazily wrapped your arms around his neck.

"I have no answer for that, my prince. I only ever want to be locked in here with you," you answered before beginning a trail of open mouthed kisses on his neck.

Eric let his head fall back and closed his eyes, melting into your touch. After a couple minutes, however, Eric straightened, lifting you from the tub entirely, and carrying you to the bed. You giggled and kicked your feet before Eric threw the comforter back, and planted you on the sheets.

"What are you doing? I'm soaking wet. The sheets-"

"Can be changed," he gruffly interrupted.

"I have to have you now, (Y/N). You have no idea what you do to me," he responded while kicking off his pants and throwing his shirt over his head.

Climbing on top of you and settling himself between your legs, Eric lined the tip of his member up at your sopping entrance.

"Speaking of wet," he smirked, leaning down to your ear, "you're always so ready for me, (Y/N)."

One push and Eric slid inside you. Groaning and trying to center his breath, Eric pumped in and out of you.

"Oh, one day you'll have my children, (Y/N). But for now, I want you all to myself," Eric moaned as he slammed back into you.

Your mouth fell open and you nodded your head frantically.

"Anything for you, Eric. Anything," you sputtered out.

Waves of ecstacy washed over you, and you lost yourself in the pleasure. When you finally came out of it, Eric was lifting your hips, pounding into you at an alarming pace.

"God you're so beautiful when you come undone for me," he practically whimpered.

You nodded, rubbing your hands along his back, and flexing your pelvic muscles. That was all it took to sent Eric spiraling.

Lying in the sticky aftermath, you hummed happily, running your fingers through Eric's curls. His head lay on your chest, and you loved playing with his hair.

"(Y/N)," Eric suddenly spoke.

You looked down at him, keeping your fingers in his locks.

"Do you want to have kids someday? I've realized that we haven't actually talked about it."

You smiled.

"Of course, Eric. I would love to have kids with you. I just think we shouldn't rush into things. Let's enjoy our life together before we introduce someone else into it."

Eric lifted his head to meet your eyes with a smile.

"You've saved my life in every way, (Y/N). You're the kindest person I've ever known. When you're ready, you'll make the most wonderful mother to our children," Eric gushed.

Feeling heat flare on your cheeks, you giggled, poking at Eric's dimples.

"So cheesy," you teased.

Eric's face turned serious for a moment.

"Oh, there is something else. I received a letter from Scuttle today. Since he missed me in Sicily, he wrote me a letter with the information I was looking for," Eric paused.

At your curious expression, he continued.

"I had asked him to find information on the ship and crew that killed your mother, (Y/N). That's what I was meeting him for, before the Sea Witch got to me," he grimaced at the memory.

You swallowed.

"What did the letter say?"

Eric sucked in a breath.

"Scuttle said that the ship went down at sea. None of the crew survived," he answered, waiting for your reaction.

You gave him a soft smile and threaded your fingers back through his hair.

"It's okay, I knew. My father told me. He took revenge on them for my mother's death. He said he stopped living when she died. That's why he sent me back to you. He didn't want me to end up the same way," you shrugged.

Eric nodded, letting his fingers trace over your cheek.

"You know that I'd give my life for you, right (Y/N)? You've done it for me already. And I will spend my life making sure that you never regret that decision," Eric's eyes drifted back up to yours.

"I know, Eric. I never could."

Pulling him in for another kiss, you thanked your lucky stars that the sea brought you to this man.

Dick Grayson Fancast

Okay, this is from awhile back, but I want your thoughts. I spent ages trying to find a face claim for Dick, and I went through multiple actors to find the right vibes.

Also, it's not Brenton Thwaites from Titans because even though he's a great actor, he doesn't fit the Nightwing vibes in my head if that makes sense.

So, without further ado, my Dick Grayson Fancast is...

Jonah Hauer-King!

Like, look at this man.

I love him. He did a wonderful job as Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid, and vibes, man, ✨vibes✨.

When I first started using him, he was 27 (he's 28 now because, you know, aging), which is a little old to use him in anything younger, but for my fic it was perfect (Dick is 27, Jason is 23, Tim is 20, and Damian is 14).

This.

Man.

Is.

Perfect.

For Dick Grayson.

Look at this. They're both incredibly dramatic.

Tell me, this look isn't literally discowing.

I love him, your honor.

Also, Jonah Hauer-King is Jewish. And I know, Dick is Romani, but Bruce is canonically Jewish, so you, know, sorta fitting.

And in an interview with The Little Mermaid cast, they said he was the most like his character. He's charming, he's very princely. He's the biggest Disney fan (whose go-to karaoke song is "I Just Can't Wait To Be King").

He's perfect. It's just so fitting.

tl;dr

Jonah Hauer-King is the perfect Dick Grayson.

Patrick Gibson featured in the "Wonderland" Magazine Summer Issue 2023. Pictures by Rhys Frampton.

from @/rhysfampton @/lukebensoncreative @/livi.av on Instagram.

Shadow and Bone's Patrick Gibson on becoming fan-favourite Nikolai Lantsov and the power of the Grisha fandom.

[interview transcript under the cut]

PATRICK GIBSON

Shadow and Bone's Patrick Gibson on becoming fan-favourite Nikolai Lantsov and the power of the Grisha fandom.

Words by Ella Bardsley

Season one of Shadow and Bone saw the world (willingly) catapulted into the Grishaverse, and the entrance of Nikolai Lantsov in season two definitely gave us a reason to return. Taking on one of the most beloved characters in Leigh Bardugo's novels, OA actor Patrick Gibson plays the Ravkan prince who spends a fair amount of time sneakily disguised as the infamous privateer, Sturmhond. No spoilers here, but the prince's future was left more than uncertain. Now that the second season of Shadow and Bone has come to a close, and we're waiting for confirmation on the third, we caught up with the 28-year-old actor on his preffered Grisha power, weirdest audition, and what he's looking for in his next role.

Ella Bardsley: Hey Patrick! What's been your most bizarre audition in your career thus far?

Patrick Gibson: That is tough. There have been some shockers. But nowadays a lot of the time you're doing self-tapes at home. Generally, the weirdest are doing intimate and romantic scenes with close friends or family. Ah yes, there have been a few of them. Nothing quite bests the acting skills like having to convincingly flirt with your own dad.

EB: What was your reaction when you first read the script for Shadow and Bone season two?

PG: I was excited. That's one of my favourite parts of the process. Getting to sit down with this crisp new script and discovering for the first time what exactlyy it is you're going to be doing for the nest few months and getting to dig out your character in more detail. I have been a big fan of our showrunner Eric Heisserer ever since he wrote Arrival , so it was awesome getting to read what him, Daegan Fryklind, and the incredible team of writers had created that first time.

EB: What has been the most surpraising fan reaction or interaction you've had since the release of the show?

PG: I have to say, it's always so lovely meeting or interacting with people who are fans of the show. You're often in a vacuum when you make something, and so to get to meet people who connect with it and are brought joy by it is really nice. A group of fans made a book for me with messages and pictures recently, and it was really touching.[*] They put a lot of work into it. And I'm also aware that it's not really about me. People are passionate about and love the character which is cool because I get to share that enjoyment with them.

EB: As an actor, what was the most challenging aspect of portraying Nikolai's character, and how did you approach it?

PG: Stepping into a character that is so loved by fans of the books is a daunting thing in itself. I found treading the line between honouring who he is on the page while allowing myself to add my own spin on it was one of the more challenging elements. For the most part though, I just had a lot of fun. There was absolutely some wishfulfillment in there for me. Playing a character who carries themselves in a carefree way is always fun and encourages you to make bold choices and let go.

EB: If you could switch roles with any other character in Shadow and Bone , who wolud it be and why?

PG: I honestly tried to think who, but everyone is so perfectly cast I couldn't imagine it any other way.

EB: If you could have any Grisha power from the series in real life, which one would you choose and how would you use it?

PG: I would say a Durast. I'd like to be able to build things, heal people, and manipulate objects on a molecular level.

EB: Do you find yourself delving into rabbit holes while you do research for a role? What's your creative process?

PG: I've found the process varies depending on the job, although it does always have similiarities. It always starts with the script, digging through it for clues. I find the best writing keeps giving you things the more time you spend with it. That process of digging is exciting, you might read the same line a few weeks in and are suddenly struck with a realisation or make a mental connection, I love when action has a physical element or a skill that's required to develop. It just means you get to spend more time with the character floating around the subconscious. I really do think as you're learning skills, if you have the character somewhere in mind, it solidifies it. You get to live with the character in a different way.

EB: What's your on-set pet peeves?

PG: I don't really have any! I have things that get me really excited to be on set. I mean, maybe people complaining? When people forget the privilege they have to be doing this job as an actor. I've felt both sides of it... being so hungry to work I would do anything, and being exhausted and fed up and wishing you had a 9-5. And yeah, it's still a job, but it's important not to lose sight of the joy of it.

EB: Finally, in what kind of role you want to see yourself next?

PG: Genre-wise, I don't have any particular preference, but I'm always looking for that thing I can get lost in. When you find something and know this is what you want to make your world for the next few months. I'm drawn to stuff that's intangible[?]** or seemingly "weird"[?]** stories that are given scale by the detail and care they're told with. There was a film recently called Full Time by Eric Gravel , which I think perfectly encapsulated that.

*[OP pauses the transcription to squeel with joy. Patrick is very likely refering to the fanbook gifted to him during ASOCAS 2 Empire Convention in Paris in May 2023. My artworks are in there, and he saw them, and his jaw dropped, and this is still the highlight of my life]

**[note: I can't decipher those two words from the pics, this is my best guess.]

So, can I just say something about Christian Navarro's reaction to not getting the role of Prince Eric? (This might be wrong for me to comment on because I'm a white adult woman, but I am passionate about The Little Mermaid 2023 and Halle and Jonah's roles in it.)

“Literally @disney saw a who’s who list of actors of color and STILL went with the white guy,” [Navarro] wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of Hauer-King, which was captured by a fan before it was removed. “So much for diversity. I guess two brown leads would have tanked the movie right? Boring.”

I know I'm late to this, but... after seeing The Little Mermaid 2023 multiple times and interviews with Jonah, Halle, and Rob Marshall, it's pretty clear to me they knew what they were doing when they cast Jonah. The chemistry and friendship was there from the very beginning. Rob knew it and Halle knew it. Jonah said that Halle came to him after and told him he did a great job and he found out later that he was the only one she did that to.

But Christian Navarro made him not getting the role about his race vs. Jonah's. So, with Ariel it should be whoever is best for the role regardless of race, which is why they picked Halle. But for Eric, it shouldn't be whoever is best for the role, it should be whoever is best for the role and a person of color?

Christian, did you ever consider that your race had nothing to do with it and you just weren't the right person for the part? And instead of accepting the disappointment gracefully, you had to lash out and make it about race. To me, this is the exact wrong way to respond to not getting a role. You say it was about your race, not your performance or chemistry with Ariel, and you trash the person who did get the part.

The correct way to respond is to say "I was disappointed but I'm sure the movie is going to be great." Or something along those lines. You don't say trash about the person who got the role and say he only got it because he was white. Show some respect for your fellow actors.

I didn't really know of him before this, but now I don't really care to.

Phantom of the House of Dragons. Chapter 1:

Phantom of the House Targaryen

Aemond Targaryen x Reader, Lucerys Velaryon x reader

Summary: Mashup between House of the Dragon and Phantom of the Opera, Aemond as the Phantom/Eric, Luce as Raoul and our darling reader as Christine. With 2 different endings, one for each lover man.

Warning: typical cannon violence and warnings in both fandoms, potential smut in later parts

A/N: English isn't my first language and it's not edited. Please let me know what you think and where you would like to see this go?

Chapter One: Angel of Music

The Opera House of Dragons was the most popular opera house of the time. Spectacular shows of love, romantics, tragedies and comedies alike. Everyone knew the name and vied to even be in the building let alone see a show. But there was a hidden secret whispered among the people… that it was haunted by a ghost, the phantom of the opera, he was known as.

During a rehearsal of the current show the manager, Lefevre interrupted “Ladies and gentlemen,- may I have your attention, please?” the cast stops and circles around him “As you know, for some weeks there have been rumors of my imminent retirement. I can now tell you that these were all true and... it is my pleasure to introduce to you the two gentlemen who now own the House of Dragons: Monsieur Richard Firmin and Monsieur Gilles Andre. I'm sure you've read of their recent fortune in the junk business” Lefevre held his hand in the direction of two older looking men. Both were dressed as wealthy businessmen. One was short with balding gray hair and a lecherous look on his face and the other was taller and even taller hair, spiked to a point and a pompous look etched into his features .

“Scrap metal, actually” Firmin -the shorter man of the two- jutted out “And we're deeply honoured to introduce our new patron,.. ” he spoke louder to the group of the now gathered cast.

The remaining owner with the mustache piped up, shouting over and interrupting his colleague in excitement “The Prince Lucerys Velaryon!!!” and the crowd cheered, loud claps heard all over the halls. As all attention was moved to the Prince. He had a lithe but strong build, curly chocolate brown hair styled to perfection and plump lips, but the real show stopper was his beautiful brown eyes, so deep someone could get lost in them. Screams of bravo and salutations shook the room to let the Prince know he was welcome.

Unbeknownst to him his childhood friend and crush, Y/N Daae, only stood a few feet from him.

“Its Luc” Y/N she said under her breath as to not be heard but the others. She whispered to her friend Haelena, who stood by her side “Before my father died... at the castle by the sea... you could say we were childhood sweethearts... He called me “his little dragon””. She whispered to her friend Meg, who stood by her side watching the scene unfold and seeing Y/n eye’s light up.

“Oh Y/N he is so handsome” she whispered back

The Prince’s words interrupted the private conversation while he addressed the group “My parents and I are honoured to support all the arts, especially the world renowned Opera House of Dragons”. He looked around the audience. “I believe I'm keeping you for your rehearsal. I will be here this evening to share your great triumph” and with those parting words he exited the stage passing by Y/N in a hurry.

“He would not recognize me” she whispered again to Haelena ”we were but children at the time.” Haelena could see the sadness in her eyes and watched Y/N’s shoulders slump.

“He didn't see you” she said softly in order to cheer her friend up and they exchanged a soft smile.

Madame Alicent entered their view followed by the new owners, ushering the chorus girls to start dancing, so Haelena and Y/n took their places in the line up. They eased into the flowing dance, matching the rhythm of the music and the others.

Alicent led them around the dancers “We take a particular pride here in the excellence of our ballets, Monsieurs”

“I see why” he lechery pointed as Haelena “especially that little white haired angel”

“My daughter, Haelena, Monsieur”

“And that exceptional beauty? No relation, I trust?” the taller owner spoke, proud of himself for the jab”

“Y/N Daae. Promising talent. Monsieurs, very promising” Alicent said in a very proud way

“Daae, did you say? No relation to the famous dragon dreamer?” he looked questionably at Alicent as he fiddled with his mustache.

“His only child... orphaned at seven when she came to live and train in the ballet dormitories…”

Almost salivating Firmin utters out “An orphan you say?”

“I think of her as a daughter also. Gentlemen, if you would kindly stand to one side?” as the dancers moved towards the area in which they stood. And the chorus picks up with our leading diva, Carlotta headed to the center, visibly irritated with the lack of attention from the new managers who were gawking at the dancing girls.

After almost screaming her final note she spats loudly “I hope the prince is excited by dancing, girls as your new managers... because I will not be singing!!!” and glared at the pair, Andre and Firmin look at eachother panic on their faces and carlotta starts to storm off.

The new managers turn their panicked faces towards Alicent and the previous manager who still lingered

“Grovel” they say in unison “grovel”

Andre and Firmin dash across the stage.

“Signora please” Andre pleads

Carlotta raises her hand in a shoo-ing manner “see you later because I'm going now! It is finished” she yells dramatically

“World renowned artist and great beauty…” Firmin attempted to save the situation

Carlotta slows down.

“Principessa! Bella diva…” she smirks at his words, adoring the attention

Adnre turns to the Monsieur Lefevre “... isn't there a rather marvelous aria for Elissa in Act Three of Hannibal? Perhaps the Bella…”

Firmin interrupts with “as a personal favour if you would oblige us with a private rendition? Unless, of course, Monsieur Reyer objects…” he looked back to Reyer, the old Maestro.

“If my managers command” Carlotta won over by their flattering words

“as My diva commands” Firmin bows his head, ushering her back to center stage.

Carlotta whips her head to the conductor “Maestro”.

The cleaners could be seen putting earplugs in as preparation for the private showing” Carlotta clears her throat and belts out “Think of me, think of me fondly, when we've said goodbye. Remember me once in a while - please promise me you'll try”

Suddenly a scream was heard as the room noticed the falling of a backdrop, but it was too late to save the diva, she was knocked to the ground. The Cast rushing to her “lift it up, lift it up” was heard under the set piece. Finally free, dusting off her gown and her entourage starting to comfort her.

Andre rushed over “Signora, please... These things do happen…”

she glared at Lefevre menacingly “For the past years these things do happen and do you stop them from happening? No!” then whips her rage to Andre and Firmin and with a threatening point “and you two - you’re as bad as him. ”These things do happen!“ Ma... until you stop these things from happening,” pointing between herself and the stage “this thing does not happen! Bye-bye and ciao. Now you see, I’m really leaving.” drawing even more attention to herself. Then silence except the clicking of her shoes as she stormed out.

Both Andre and Firmin were frozen in their place, scared for their now questionable success. Madame Alicent came up behind them holding a white envelope, a broken red wax skull seal. “I have a message from the opera ghost”

“Oh God in heaven, you're all obsessed!” Firmin yelled

Alicent not acknowledging is protest “He welcomes you to his opera house-

“His opera house?” Firmin said even more angrily

“- and commands that you continue to leave Box Five empty for his use” pointing to the viewing box.

Firmin places his hand on his face in stress “obviously we shall now have to cancel as it appears we have lost our star!”

“Yeah, but surely there should be an understudy” Andre pleads

“Understudy? There is no understudy for La Carlotta” Reyer, the maestro interjects

Alicent moves back to stand in front of the dancers they were watching before “Y/N Daae could sing it, sir.”

All attention turns to Y/n who was stretching her leg. The new attention prompted her to stand

“What, a chorus girl? Don't be silly”

“She has been taking lessons from a great teacher.” Alicent protests

Y/N looks nervously between Alicent and the managers.

“Who?” Firmin straightens his tie regain his composure

Y/n hesitates “I don't know his name, Monsieur.” Alicent looks knowingly at Y/N.

“Let her sing for you, monsieur. She has been well taught.”

“All right.” Andre, the more positive of the two managers said “come on, don't be shy... Come on. Come along. Just, just…” moving her to the center of the stage.

Then the conductor taped his baton against the music stand, cleared his throat “from the top then mam’selle”

Everyone watches as Christine cautiously moves to the center of the stage.

“Andre, this is doing nothing for my nerves.” Firmin whispered over his shoulder at Andre, who shook his head in response.

Then Reyer started the orchestra to the same song Carlotta had sung earlier but the reactions of the crew were completely different.

“Think of me, think of me fondly, when we've said goodbye” Y/n started slowly “Remember me once in a while - please promise me you'll try.” She looked back at the managers hopefully. “When you find that, once again, you long to take your heart back and be free if you ever find a moment to spare a thought for me…” everyone slowly stops their actions to stare as Y/N lovingly, seemingly entranced by her voice. Y/N voice was definitely well trained.

“Shes angel” Andre whisper

“We found our star” Firmin responded.

“We never said our love was evergreen, or as unchanging as the sea - but if you can still remember stop and think of me…” Y/n continued. Unknown to her 2 sets of eyes watched her from afar.

One familiar pair, those of her childhood sweetheart, Prince Lucarys, “Can it be? Can it be Y/N” he said to himself as he watched her sing. His heart picked up in rhythm, old memories of their love flowed back. The flames of his love reigniting.

The other, possessed only one eye, which was more sinister, more possessive of HIS Y/N. The owner of the lavender eye hidden from view, masked by the rafters, clouded in shadows, also listened to her lyrics, not that he hasn't heard her voice before. He needed his passion to be known by her, to be adored by her. He can not have this unwanted suitor stealing her from him.

She. is. His.

The little mermaid but Will is Prince Eric bc i can’t stop thinking about it lmao and merHanni eats men ofc

And/or angry will 🙏

ooOoh that would mean Hanni goes mute for a while jKABFKEBGLDN angst potential bc ptsd✨ or smthg, i’m not sure

That would make things REALLY interesting hold on- Prince Will and his crew get swept overboard in a sudden sea tempest, and Hannibal, the ever opportunistic (and hungry) merfolk, observes at first, then participates. The waves are rough, and Will is struggling to stay afloat, even with all of his years of experience out on the water, his crewmates either drowning or about to drown. His muscles give in, and the waves take him. He finds sinking to be much more peaceful than he expected. Hannibal seeks his next among the drowning, when he sees Will, cast in the fading light of evening under the rippling surface, an angel fallen from grace.

He swims towards him, finned tail swirling underwater. He grasps a hold of Will, bubbles seeping out of his nose and lips. Will's eyes open, briefly, and he can vaguely make out the man holding him, his savior. Hannibal swears to himself that not even the most aged and polished pearls of the sea could compare to such radiance. Will's eyes drift shut, and briefly, the merfolk contemplates whether to take the man down with him or to see his eyes open again.

Hannibal decides on the latter, bringing the man back to the surface for air, and swimming back to shore some miles away. He lays Will out on the land as far as he can go with his tail, and harshly pushes down on his chest to let the human breathe once more. Pushing, pushing, he murmurs softly a song of his own, voice deep and melodious. A song of wanting, of hunger. Cast in moonlight, Hannibal's wish is granted, and Will's eyes shimmer so beautifully as he wakes. His hand is warm on his cheek. Will savors the clearer vision of his savior for a moment, his song fading as he finishes. Hannibal hears another presence on the shore, and offers another soft caress to his cheek before he hurries back into the water.

Another man approaches Will's stirring figure, a palace hand named Frederick, and brings the man back home. Will, in recovery, has mixed visions and dreams. It made the most sense that Frederick was his savior, right? But why didn't the man's voice sound like the soft crooning of the sea canaries and the rush of water? A week into recovering, Will is wandering the shore he 'washed up' on, and finds a man covering himself with a torn sail. He looks as though he were carved from marble, with eyes as dark as the depths and hair tinged with the very color of sand and glass. He walks, limps, almost, as if he were taking his very first steps. Will catches him as he stumbles a little, asks him for his name. Hannibal winces as he realizes he cannot give him an answer, a deal was made with the sea witch, and now he can walk, but cannot speak. He feels his throat ache for a song, but instead, they figure out a means of communicating with faces and hands and gestures, and that seems to be enough for now.....

Will seems incredibly interested in Hannibal, this stranger from the sea. When his lack of words fails him, he draws, and Will is fascinated by what he’s seen. Drawings of merfolk, creatures of the sea, even more visceral pieces and parts of man and body. Frederick is a man of a humble background, but feels a sense of boiling jealousy when Will looks at Hannibal the way he does. He finds Hannibal’s sketches and brings them to the court, pleading with them. Their prince, afflicted by near death by sea, has fallen into the whims of a mute outsider, influencing his mind and heart. Hannibal doesn’t even get the chance to show Will the sketch he made of his sinking body, as he’s seized by the palace guards, headed by a very vindictive Frederick. Later, Will confronts him and asks where Hannibal is, and Frederick tells him that his heart led him back to the sea. Will is conflicted again, finding any of it hard to believe. He finds Hannibal’s sketch on his bedside, and it all comes back to him, the pieces come back together. Will runs to the shore like his legs were made for it. Hannibal is brought to the end of a dock, with a block of marble tied to his ankles. Will gets to the dock just as they shove him off the edge, jumping and latching onto Hannibal. No one is able to catch or stop him. They embrace as they sink, deeper and deeper. Will regrets nothing as he knows his own fate. Hannibal feels peace, even as he knows the curse will reduce his form to sea foam, looking fondly into Will’s eyes. Strangely enough, though, it doesn’t. Their breaths collide, bubbles floating. Faces pressed together as they kiss. Hannibal feels his body becoming more familiar to himself, and is shocked when Will’s changes too. His words return to him, they return to them both. Will stares at himself in disbelief, and then at Hannibal, who looks the way he should, cast in the rippling light of the surface leagues above them both. They breathe together in the same way, and exchange soft laughter. “It was you, wasn’t it? You were the one who saved me.” “Will, my dear, you are mistaken. It is you who has saved me.”

Will hums a familiar song from not long ago, and that reverberating voice joins him. They join as one, tails wrapped around one another. Slipping deeper and deeper into the depths.

Turns out sinking really was more peaceful than Will had imagined.

The Little Mermaid Live Action

I’m so freaking prepared for this movie and it’s not even funny!!!!!!!!!!! I’ve watched the trailer so many times since the full trailer was released.

The original Little Mermaid movie was and is still one of my all time favorite Disney movies. And now just seeing in come to life is amazing. I can already tell you I’m gonna be in tears probably halfway through the movie.

There are probably a million reasons why I’m so excited but I’m only going to talk about my top 3.

Halle Bailey: She such a beautiful woman and a wonderful singer. I heard her singing only a few times before, but when I really heard her voice was during the Disney World 50th Anniversary and she sang “Can You Feel Love Tonight” and she has such a beautiful singing voice. I also read this article somewhere online about Jodi Benson (the original Ariel) and her opinion about Halle playing Ariel. Jodi Benson has been very supportive of Halle as she plays Ariel and was there when Halle received backlash about her playing Ariel. So, Jodi Benson talked about how it doesn’t matter who you are, what you look, or where your from, it’s about the spirit of the character is what’s important. I 100% agree with her. Halle Bailey is going to do a wonderful job by bring one of the most iconic Disney princesses to life.

2. The Music and New Songs: Can we just take a moment and talk about Lin-Manuel Miranda?!?! As everyone should know, he wrote the Broadway musicals “In The Heights” and “Hamilton” and has also written music for other Disney movies like “Encanto” and “Moana”. Lin-Manuel is also a big Disney fan and he also named his son after Sebastian in the little mermaid. And now he gets to work with Alan Menken (the original music composer) and he was the one who inspired Lin-Manuel to compose music. He basically gets to work with his hero and that’s amazing!!!! I’ve also read somewhere that Lin-Manuel might be Chef Louis in the movie.

Ok, now the music. We all have to admit that the original soundtrack slaps!!!! They are classics and masterpieces. I can’t wait to listen to it again in the live action. I have a feeling some of the songs might be a tad different from the original, but that doesn’t bother me. The have done the same thing in all the other Disney live action movies and I love those movies.

I’m really excited to hear these new songs in the movie. As I said earlier, Lin-Manuel Miranda got up work with Alan Menken and wrote 4 new songs. Can’t wait to hear them and listen to them like a million times once the soundtrack comes out.

3. The Actors: Besides Halle Bailey as Ariel, I think they did an amazing job with the cast. I mean, you could have picked better than these actors and actresses to play these roles.

Awkwafina as Scuttle: If you didn’t know who she is, Awkwafina was in “Jumamji: The Next Level” and “Chang-Shi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”. She is a really funny actress and always makes me laugh. I think she will make a great Scuttle.

Daveed Diggs as Sebastian: I think everyone had a feeling that he would play Sebastian before the trailer even came out. He was in “Hamilton” with Lin-Manuel Miranda and also rapped a whole bunch in the musical. I read somewhere that he might rap in the movie and that makes me happy. He honestly fits the role of Sebastian perfectly.

Melissa McCarthy as Ursula: Just like Awkwafina, Melissa McCarthy also makes me laugh as well. She was in the movie “Life of the Party” and Netflix “Thunder Force”. I’m excited to see her bring out her inner diva while playing Ursula.

Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric: First of all, he is extremely cute and hot. When I first saw him I was like blushing like crazy. Also, he was in “A Dog’s Way Home” and the tv show “World On Fire”. I’m excited to see him play Prince Eric. Another thing to point out is that Prince Eric was my Disney Prince crush when I was little and that crush it starting up again.

Those are my top 3 reasons why I am excited about the Live Action Little Mermaid. I won’t be able to wait any longer as it approaches theaters.

no one asked for it so of course let’s talk about

ever since I watched The Little Mermaid for the first time, I’ve been ✨ ENAMORED ✨ with Prince Eric

don’t ask me why, I won’t be taking questions

that being said, I think about Prince Eric • A LOT •

I would also like to point out that this is literally just how my brain works

when I think of Prince Eric inside my head, a couple different face claims come to mind but there’s definitely one face in particular that pops up more than the others and it brings my brain so much ☀️ JOY ☀️

and now I’d like to present my ❤️ FAVORITE ❤️ face claim for Prince Eric

🥁 DRUM ROLL PLEASE 🥁

😍 Cody Christian 😍

🥹 LOOK AT HIM 🥹

according to my brain and my subconscious, he is my perfect Prince Eric 🥰

that is all, have a fabulous day

p.s. I don’t want anyone to think I’m knocking the new version of The Little Mermaid that is coming out, this is just a thought on how my brain has always viewed Prince Eric

I’m sure Jonah Hauer-King is going to be amazing along with the rest of the cast!

#the little mermaid #prince eric #face claim #my brain #this sparks joy #favorite #drum roll please #cody christian #disney #disney prince #disney ariel #disney movies #teen wolf #theo raeken

Kirby Fan Cast With Reasoning (Kirby and Friends Edition)

Kirby: Makiko Ohmoto, she's voiced Kirby since Crystal Shards back in 1999 and Kirby doesn't need to actually speak words so there'd be no need to dub over his lines.

King Dedede: Ted Lewis, he voiced Dedede in the Kirby anime's English dub and is responsible for a multitude of memes. Alternatively, Juno Songs does a great Ted Lewis impression in their Dedede with Lyrics videos

Meta Knight: Eric Stuart, he voiced Meta Knight in the Kirby anime's English dub and now I cannot unhear the Spanish accent he gave Meta Knight. Alternatively, Juno Songs does a great Eric Stuart impression in their Meta Knight with Lyrics videos.

Bandana Waddle Dee: This is the stickler... I'm honestly not sure who I'd want to voice him.

Adeline: Karen Fukuhara, she could probably pull off the right amount of spunk for Adeline (she voices Glimmer in the 2018 She-Ra reboot and the titular character in Kipo and the Age of the Wonderbeasts fyi).

Ribbon: Cassandra Lee Morris, cause I like Cassandra Lee Morris and had to stick her in somewhere.

Gooey: Seth Rogen, I know that a lot of people don't like him but he already voiced one stupid blue blob, lets have him voice a second one.

The Animal Friends: If they don't speak, Dee Bradley Baker. If they do speak... I'll decide later.

Prince Fluff: SungWon Cho (possibly better known as ProZD) doing his Deep Authoritative Voice because I think it would be funny contrast.

Daroach: Xander Mobus, whatever voice is needed for this role, I'm sure he can bring it.

Elline: Lisa Reimold, she voices Framme in FE Engage.

Elfilin: Toxic Pea, a Kirby YouTuber who also runs a currently on hiatus Forgotten Land tips channel as Elfilin where they do a very good voice for the character that is stuck in my mind. If it has to be a professional VA, Anthony Del Rio.

i've seen the new little mermaid live-action movie and i need to share my thoughts because i simply can't stop thinking about it!! i truly had my concerns about this movie - not because of the casting, but because ariel is one of my favorite disney princesses and i didn't want them to butcher the beautiful story (as they did with mulan, my favorite disney princess + movie, yeah we don't talk about this, let's just pretend it never happened). however, i was more than impressed after leaving the cinema and i catch myself thinking about it ever since. halle bailey did a phenomenal job in portraying the little mermaid, she made her her own version and i absolutely loved it. her acting was spot on and her singing?! don't even get me started, she's just an icon. it just felt so surreal to see my childhood heroine finally come to life on the big screen. the child in me was soooo incredibly happy to see a 'real' mermaid <3

and, obviously, i'm a huge simp for prince eric aka jonah hauer-king now. admittedly, i didn't see him as eric when i first saw the trailers because the original prince eric is just THAT male disney character yk. but let me tell you: he has me in a chokehold. he's constantly on my fyp and i'm so glad he is because i just love that man so freaking much. he deserves the whole world. there is just something different about your childhood crush coming to life!!

and bro, their chemistry?! i freaking bLUSHED, all giggly and kicking my feet in the cinema with only kids surrounding me 😭 that man made me feel things and i definitely need them to have another movie as a couple because they SERVED! (the little mermaid 2??) never seen such a good chemistry between two characters, i'm so in love with both of them 🩷 also their interviews?? oh god they make me so happy

i'm still not happy with some of the changes they made (the sisters!? confusing af). they could have done better with her dresses (where is the beautiful pink dress duh) and i'm not at all happy that they didn't include one of my favourite scenes from the original... but other than that, i think this will easily become one of my new comfort movies because i literally can't stop thinking about it, smiling and giggling. i even ordered their funkos okay i'm such a freaking simp i sometimes can't stand myself lmao i'm even thinking about adding eric to the list of characters i write for that's how bad it is

anyway, go watch the movie if you haven't already!!! personally, i think it is VERY MUCH worth it. thank you for coming to my ted talk and i definitely won't shut up about this movie any time soon 🥺🥰 (watch me reblog every tiny post i see about them hihi)

Let’s talk about the Live Action little mermaid.

I confess I was one of the many people who were against the changes they made to The little mermaid, but now that I actually watched it in theaters, it was surprisingly good. It is not a great movie, and there were changes I’m not a fan of, but the movie was entertaining. It could’ve been one of the not so bad Disney Live action remakes, (because, let’s be honest, there is no such thing as a good Disney Live action remake) but some of the changes actually work or don’t impact the story too much. Sometimes they work and sometimes they just go too far. I thought I was gonna throw a fit during the entire movie, but the only part where I almost did was at the end.

So I just want to point out some of the flaws I found in this movie. This is just my opinion, and I want to know if other people feel the same way.

Halle Bailey.

When I heard about the actress who was gonna be playing Ariel, I admit I was not happy that they didn’t cast a girl that actually looked like the iconic mermaid, which is something a lot of people expect to see in a live action version of a cartoon. However, I was hoping she was gonna give a good performance. Here is the thing, after Watching the movie, I now think she is the second best actress from the movie, first one being Melissa McCarthy as Úrsula. The only thing I didn’t like from her performance was that I rarely felt any emotion from her, I was waiting for the exact moment in the movie we’re she sees Erick and starts to smile and slowly be infatuated by him like in the original movie, but no, the movie just continues and we are now supposed to believe she is in love with Eric, which brings me to the next point.

2. Where is the love?

It looks like Disney’s idea of women empowerment is that we can’t be obsessed with a man or even show any strong loving feelings towards one. Because throughout the movie I didn’t really feel any loving emotion from Ariel towards Eric, hello? The story of the little mermaid is a cautionary tale about first loves, true, love at first sight is a fantasy, but Ariel never felt anything for any guy before seeing Eric so it made sense that she thinks she is in love. She basically bet against Úrsula that she and prince Eric were made for each other.

That would’ve been a good point to explore in the remake without telling little girls that love at first sight was real. Let Ariel feel infatuation for Eric just because of how caring and cute he seemed to her, but after getting her legs she starts to know Eric in a deeper level and realizes that she didn’t really know anything about him or the human world until then. But no, we can’t have a strong female character naively swooning over a man and then learning a lesson about giving up everything you have in your life to chase a fantasy, just like Eric was probably gonna do for the mysterious girl who saved him from drowning.

And it’s not just the love between her and Eric, but with her father as well, I didn’t feel any loving father\daughter relationship between them, and she doesn’t really interact with her sisters. If they explored their family dynamic more, it would’ve been more challenging for Ariel to accept Ursula’s deal.

3. Where are we?

Not only is Eric adopted in this movie, but the whole kingdom seems to be in an island in the Caribbean. In the animated movie it looked like they were in a European country, some even say it was in Italy. I thought one of the reasons the producers had for casting Halle Bailey was because there is diversity in Denmark, which is were the book takes place, but it didn’t seemed like Denmark to me. Also, they didn’t even include elements from the book for the live action movie so why would they even set the movie in Denmark? Okay, they changed the setting of the movie which is a clever change, but why though?

4. Why? The movie raised a lot of questions for me, why is Eric adopted? What’s the point of Úrsula being king Triton’s sister? Why did they change the name of Ariel’s sisters? Why is flounder a sickly looking fish? Why does the ocean feel so dull and empty? And more importantly, why did they give scuttle a song, after establishing that she couldn’t sing at all?

Conclusion.

The little mermaid live action movie has its flaws, there were a lot of necessary and unnecessary changes, but I actually enjoyed the movie. I love the original movie and even though Halle Bailey did a good job, I still can’t see her as the Ariel I grew up with, and it’s not her fault, it’s just that people like me expect to see someone who looks like the animated character, I mean, couldn’t they dye her hair bright red at least? Because Ariel’s hair color is iconic.

The special effects under the sea could’ve been better, it could’ve used more color, more creative locations, and would it kill them to brightened up the scenes?! It really was dark!

Aside from the ending, I think the movie was well done. It’s not great, but it was a nice and fun watch. It’s kinda sad how this movie has so many haters, but the woke changes are what enrages a lot of people. And the people who actually love the movie, might just like it for the wrong reasons which makes the current situation worse.

Would I recommend this movie? Yes.

Give it a chance, it’s no masterpiece, no live action remake is, but it does have it’s moments.
