And He Answered

Chapter 7

Words: 1101

Prompt: Mermaid AU, where instead of being ectobiologists, Jack and Maddie Fenton study wildlife from under the sea— specifically mermaids. Amity Park is next to multiples large lakes and rivers, the Ghost Zone is underwater, all the ghosts are mers, and Danny is struggling to find a way to explain his sudden aversion to any things water. By @erebecula

This is my last chapter of this that counts for Phic Phight 2023 points. I really enjoyed participating in the Phight and can't wait for next year!

AO3

Danny couldn't breathe. Eyes from every corner of the room were fixated on him, watching his every move. For a solid minute nobody moved. A loud cackle broke out from the crowd

"Oh, Ancients! This is rich!" A gruff voice called out. It was the scary mohawk dude from before. He continued laughing before finally calming down enough to continue, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry! It's just there's no way the fate of the world rests on the shoulders of that whelp!"

Some others murmured in agreement. Dora swam over to the Important Lady and whispered some things to her. Expressions flashed across the lady's face starting with disbelief and ending with shock.

The sea of crowds parted as the four-armed lady made her way over to Danny.

"Have you, child, seen the Time Master?" She asked in a hushed voice. Danny nodded meekly. He took a hard swallow. The Lady looked him up and down. She noticed the bracelet.

"He…he is the chosen one," her voice gave away her disbelief. The crowd whispered to each other.

"Well, I suppose we should begin your training."

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

The Important Lady, who Danny finally learned was Pandora, took him down a hallway in the complex. Pandora opened a large door to a room with seven large thrones each etched with the name of the seven main seas. In five of the seats sat some of the people Danny saw onstage as well as a few others.

A giant kelp monster occupied the Pacific throne. It definitely wasn't a Kelpie because those were more like horses. This person(?) was more like a sentient lump of kelp and other underwater plants.

On the Arctic throne, a giant, white, and hairy crab was talking to one of the attendants. He reminded Danny of those crabs that live on the bottom of the ocean. Danny's gaze shifted to the crab's giant ice pincher. Better not get on the wrong side of that guy.

The India throne was occupied by a formless figure that was made out of a night sky. The only thing Danny could make out was a pair of horns.

On the Mexico seat, a semi-normal looking mer sat. The current seemed to swirl around him, going faster or slower depending on his mood.

The last occupied seat was the Caribbean. A familiar man in a purple cloak smiled at the young boy as Pandora took her place on the Mediterranean throne.

The middle throne was definitely the biggest, but it was vacant. Danny stared nervously at the six intimidating figures in front of him. The kelp creature sludged over to him.

The plant circled him like a shark on a feeding frenzy before speaking, "This is our chosen one?"

"I know what you think, Undergrowth. I was hesitant as well, but he was the one who pulled the sword," Pandora spoke.

"He's a child!" The man with the whirlpool around him argued.

"Sometimes great things come in small sizes," Clockwork cryptically replied.

"His aura is different. He does not feel like a normal drowned," the shadow creature spoke. Its voice warbled around the room.

"You are correct, Nocturne, I believe the young boy has been blessed," the crab chimed in.

"Clockwork! Did you have anything to do with this!" An angry jellyfish with a giant eye got right into the time master's face. The scar on the man's face crinkled as he smiled.

"All is as it should be."

"You can't be serious! You are not supposed to interfere!"

"Ah, but then who would save us? Many strong men and women would have tried, but none had the right character to have the best outcome."

"Why you!!!!"

The eyeball jellyfish began to squabble while Clockwork sat gracefully in his chair. Attention shifted back to Danny.

"We should begin your training," Pandora stated, "We have assigned Princess Dorothea of the North Sea to be your basic magic teacher. Once you develop, if you develop a core ability, we will find someone suitable to train you. I will teach you the ways of combat. We shall begin tomorrow at dawn."

"Uh, Ms Pandora? I would love to train and all, but I also start high school tomorrow, and I don't want to miss my first day," Danny squeaked out. The council began to whisper to each other. One of the stupid jellyfish burst into hysterics.

"YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT HE'S NOT EVEN A FULL MER!!!! Clockwork you should be stripped of your powers where you stand! The land people can not be privy to the secrets of the deep!"

Clockwork took a calm sigh and stood up.

"Young Daniel may not be a full mer, but he is not intended to be. The world is in need of one to unite the sea with the land, and Daniel is the perfect candidate."

"But what if he turns like the other one did?"

"I will ensure that he doesn't."

"Wait there's another one? Like me?" Danny spoke up. The people in the room looked at him like parents who didn't want to explain something to their child. Pandora bit the bullet and spoke up.

"There is one like you. At first, he seemed like one of good intent. As time went on, however, he became increasingly hostile. He is the reason we are in this situation."

"Was he also blessed by Clockwork?"

"No. He was cursed by a Spectra, the sea witch."

They finished planning Danny's regimen before Danny left for home. Apparently no time passes when you're in the dome because it was only a few minutes later than when he first got in the water. He slipped some shorts on and began to walk back home.

He felt a little bit better about the whole chosen thing, now that he had some people to teach him. His mind was lost in thought before a familiar voice called out to him.

"Hey Danny!" Danny looked up to see Sam and Tucker. A smile crept on his face as he walked over to his friends.

"New shirt?" Sam asked

"Yep! Jazz and I made it with scraps of jumpsuits."

"It looks good for beach days," Tucker commented.

"I agree. Anyways, we were about to come get you to see if you wanted to go to my house for a movie," Sam mentioned. Danny nodded his head, and the trio headed off towards the Manson Mansion.

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

"You will make an excellent servant. What is your name?"

"My name is Plasmius, Your Highness, Vlad Plasmius."

"Well, Plankton, you will do nicely. Now FIND ME MY RING!"

"Yes, Your Highness."

[Review] Hello Kitty Roller Rescue (PS2)

Pretty decent for a baby game for babies.

Now scraping the barrel of "Jet Set Radio-likes" I came across this action game where you build your crew and fight cops while on roller skates... ok, it's a stretch. This is supposedly Hello Kitty's first 3D videogame and while I wasn't expecting much, it turned out more involved and engaging than Dora the Explorer Saves the Mermaids. Probably just aimed at a slightly older audience, I guess.

Having villains at all isn't something I'm used to in Hello Kitty but here, blocky aliens are invading Earth (as in, their bodies are geometric blocks) and they hope to turn the planet and its inhabitants into cubes. Some of them have riot shields, hence the cop comparison. Kitty becomes a magical girl superhero to fight back, much like the Roller Angels. This involves a shiny suit, a magic wand for pummelling, and some roller skates. The latter affect her movement only slightly, so it mostly just feels like a pretty normal brawler with some light platforming and interaction.

Kitty's combat moveset is a bit more complex than you'd expect. She's got two triple hit-combos with different effects, different air attack range depending if you've double jumped, a special attack meter with two layers, she can pick up and throw things sometimes, there's even a dodge move! In the game's short 16-level runtime the enemy types and level objectives are varied enough that I, a grown adult, didn't get bored. Memorable moments include the frozen factory, amusement park obstacle course, and for some reason, a car park. The bosses aren't bad either.

Along the way you'll be rescuing other members of the Sanrio family. Some like Melody the rabbit, Monkichi the monkey, or Runabouts the... talking car will join you on certain levels as an AI partner, with unique attacks. They can also be permanently levelled up by finding collectibles in levels. Badtz-Maru is featured heavily but can't actually be used in gameplay until you clear the game once, at which point he's an alternative to playing as Kitty. Between levels you're plonked in Kitty's house where her direct family show you unlocks and such.

As with any self-respecting character action game, you're graded on your performance. Apparently getting all S ranks unlocks a particular costume, but I only achieved one or two of these. Otherwise there's plenty of costumes you'll get by playing normally, and you can use money collected in levels to buy music, cinematics, and character profiles. Did you ever want to know what Mimmy's birthday is? Well it's the same as Kitty's, since they're twins. Speaking of which, apparently there's special seasonal loading screens including a November variant for said birthday.

My low expectations meant that I was pretty impressed by this game. It was a pretty chill way to spend an afternoon and had some fun ideas at times. The final boss was actually pretty cool, with you stalling a giant mech's path of destruction with fruit cannons to buy time for Keroppi's megalaser to charge. Sure it's a kids' game, but you could do worse than Hello Kitty Roller Rescue; I've certainly played worse before. All it needs to be truly great is a spot of vandalism and some funky beats... say, there's an idea...

Transformation/spook AU (whatever you end up calling this) anon:

(this IS getting longer each time lol. thank god there's no ask character limit anymore?) yes to basically all of that, though.

honestly the group being regarded as a threat is par for course. (like, Danny was basically a public menace for a while even when he was trying to help, and even after he got more approval people were still wary of him.)

I like that all of them get their kinda community-specific side friends though. It really is nice to see them getting and making more friends outside of their usual circle. Tucker being a werewolf means his instinct is that he needs a pack, and yes Danny and co are his pack, but naturally I think he would also gravitate toward other werewolves, and they'd be his pack too, so de definitely has two or three close packmates that help him along in his adventures in integrating into werewolf society and also punching out bad guys (honestly? let's do more crossover stuff. Teen Wolf canon characters like Isaac or something!) and just kinda sympatyhize with him. I like the idea that at least one is his cousin, and a thought just popped up that one of them would also be Wulf's descendant (I'm imagining a latino/spanish kid, because of Wulf's Esperanto), and maybe the last one would just be some random (in the case that there's an xover, like I mentioned earlier, probably Isaac or a different one-off TW character).

Sam getting the animal companion though and basically talking to animals like a disney princess... she loves the ability, hates that she's like a disney princess now lol. And a "typical mermaid princess friend" actually makes me think it's basically mermaid Paulina, and Sam is both reluctantly her friend but also eventually grateful for it because it helped her grow past her prejudices against the other A-Lister girls when she learns how to see past mermaid friend's girliness too. I imagine this friendship happened because this mermaid cottoned on to the fact that Sam would become royalty soon (early on when she was just accepted into the clan and not really part of it or a leader in it yet) and decided she was both a good leader to follow (thus becoming a loyal friend too even if she was a princessy type Sam typically didn't hang out with) so she kinda just decided to help Sam learn the ropes and pull off whatever lake-saving shenanigans Sam gets up to every week and eventually they just become close. (H2O has a theme of sisterhood so I can imagine this happens very sweetly. There's also a theme of trios so there's probably another mermaid in on these shenanigans too.) That said, there's definitely probably an "episode" where the mermaids learn the spell to become temporarily human and do so and come to school for a while and are totally awed and naive about human culture and Sam has to spend the entire time trying to corral them into order and keep suspicion off them--and stop them from getting wet or saying weird stuff that would reveal themselves or her to the whole school.

I agree with the Spike headcanon, and I saw a few fics were she was friends with one of the other Weston brothers (which one would depend on the fic), but yeah aside from having very few human friends, Jazz probably also has the smallest other-friend-group because of her feared-and-disliked status. I can maybe see her showing compassion to a brownie or something and them becoming another sidekick-type friend, but yeah I don't think the other fae get close enough to her to befriend her. I do like the idea of her genuinely befriending Johnny and Kitty and maybe Ember though. (Meanwhile, Danny's other-friend-group definitely includes Dora and Sidney bc I hc that Sidney and Danny would become better friends after working out their differences, and occasionally Johnny because they seemed friendly in a couple of episodes. I can see him befriending Ember too. Just give Danny all the teen ghosts as friends ok.)

But yes I totally agree to Val being a forerunner superhero like Bats and Supes and eventually getting recruited by a superhero team. But like the others' communities not really interacting with each other except the occasional crossover, I don't really see Danny and co crossing over to Val's "community" either mostly because they ARE all busy with their own responsibilities. Aside from the "Batman doesn't want to recruit Danny because of his bad press" thing (which, legit, but I think at this point it's been years and Danny has proven to be more good than not, and besides Danny isn't the only hero with bad press so I don't think it'd matter much to Batman), Danny is on his way to becoming king, or learning to be one, or has already become king and is now having to deal with all the responsibilities that come with that, including taking time to study law and meet people and in general split his time between the GZ and AP. Sam is trying to save Lake Eerie from pollution and overfishing/hunting and the occasional ghost sea monster haunting them and other stuff, and helping rebuild the mermaid clan (which btw I think is less of a royalty thing and more of a chieftain thing? I feel like since it's such a small clan it's not really a kingdom so much as it is a tribe, so Chief might fit better than Queen for Sam's upcoming leadership role in this case) and in general mermaids like to keep secret, so I don't think Sam would opt to join Valerie in joining a superhero group to help them stay secret even if she could pass off her powers as a meta or mutant thing (though yes, maybe there CAN be the occasional crossover where she can meet Aquaman, should the situation require Val to call in some aquatic help). Tucker's responsibilities seem very local, and though I'm sure he'd be stoked and excited to join a superhero team, similar to Sam I can see his pack being like "no please don't, you joining will have consequences for ALL of us" so he has to consider that (especially since it's his family, not just other random werewolves, asking). I don't think Jazz would be interested in general (except for maybe becoming a superhero therapist), though Ellie might be (though she seems more interested in just travels than having responsibilities--also I love the idea that "no one is sure she exists" is the reason she's not really known to any community except the Spooks lol). So I like the idea of, if Valerie does take on the "protect humans from human crimes" role, it's something that's just for her for the most part and not quite the "package deal" that you might be thinking. She gets to have all the cool "stop alien invasions and international crime syndicates" adventures, and when she needs the occasional help from her friends, she can ask for it (similar to everyone else in the group asking for help when they need it too). It's kinda like Batman having sidekicks but they're not really seen as part of the Justice League, they're Batman's people who help him. The Spooks are Valerie's people who help her. Yknow? (but yes, when her friends DO get involved, they do write off their powers as meta/alien things.)

But yeah, Val being part of the Science Gone Wrong Crew. They can be part of her other-friend-group, but I especially imagine her being close friends with Blue Beetle and Cyborg? Just, yknow, similar circumstances. One is a superhero via a parasitic creature thing, and the other is a superhero by technology like her. She's in between!

Also, Wes being an alien is hilarious. Would he even KNOW? I love the idea that he would think he's human, all the way up until, idk, he completes human puberty and then has a sudden transformation and learns he's an alien because he's now starting alien puberty lol. I like the idea that he had an ancestor/parent that was an alien like that one person mentioned in the comments (it would really match up with the fact that the rest of the Spooks are half-human in some way too). Imagine the freak out. He would have A Journey emotionally and mentally trying to figure that out and accept that, and FINALLY realize why trying to out Danny and co is a horrible idea because now he's in the same situation where if he's outed Bad Things TM will happen. To him. He only half-heartedly continues accusing Danny and co to not seem off, but he's slowly letting it die down to make it seem like he's naturally giving up at least. The accusation that he's an alien, while frustrating that everyone believes without much convincing, would give him such a panic attack as he realizes the consequences of what would have happened had everyone actually believed him about Danny, because now he's worried about some government coming to kidnap him and put him in Area 51. Like yeah everyone's chill and won't turn him in, but the worry is still there because he has no assurance of this. I think this would be a natural starting point for him to join the Spooks--he goes to them for help about what to do about it and maybe someone to sympathize with him (Tucker being born as he is and gaining his own teenage transformation earlier that year means he's the most likely to empathize!) and also maybe get some help in case some government guys do tote him away, but of course this is after he apologizes.

Of course they do help him out. Danny suggests he uses his Cassandra powers to just tell everyone the truth and then no one would believe it anymore. Wes is just "that seriously won't work" and Danny replies "worked when I tricked you into doing it about me" so the next time someone cracks a joke/accuses Wes of being an alien, he goes full conspirator mode and says "actually I did some digging into my family history and I think I might be! Guys I totally might be an alien! Here's point A and point B, and how I connected them, and I have a whole powerpoint on it!" and. it. WORKS. Wes is so astonished that the immediate response is "oh ha ha, Weston, real funny, that rumor is last week's news, get some new material" or something. Wes wants to slam his head into the lockers, like "WTF WHY DID THAT WORK" and then starts down the rabbit hole of ACTUALLY trying to research his family/alien lineage to try and find out if it's a power his other-half species is supposed to have. (It doesn't. It's just a coincidence. It's funny to think about Wes spiraling like that though.)

But yeah I love this. Having an alien in the group. Wes doesn't seem to have any particular responsibility or have a penchant for fighting, and I feel like since he's the late-addition and not a close friend like the tight-knit group seems to be, that's fine that he's the odd man out. His responsibility can be helping everyone cover their absences/weirdness and be alibis lol. (Wes is not one of those friends who would step in front of a splash for Sam, or stand in front of a bush so Danny can transform with slightly more cover, or etc. But that's only yet. He reluctantly goes "uhg, fine!" and does it, and eventually he'll just do it automatically. Especially after they've started covering for his oddities too--only seemed right to return the favor.) Also given his drive for investigative journalism, maybe he's their go-to guy for general researchy things.

Honestly I would love to see sketches or anything of this whole AU/XOver thing. I feel like if it were a real giant collaboration there'd need to be a discord or something to coordinate lol. Or an AO3 group? However that'll work. If you do plan on writing any side of this AU tho do post it! I will be happy to give more ideas and stuff :D

the wariness will definitely be something they will always deal with, even once they're known as members of the justice league. there's just a darker edge to them and their past. and even if they establish a place in their individual societies, they still started as outsiders. they still associate with the other.

i ironically don't actually know teen wolf that well so doing that crossover myself is a bit tricky for me. but i don't mind a cameo. for tucker i was imagining a female cousin around his age and maybe a sorta little brother type cousin. like he's young and hasn't changed yet but knows about being werewolves and stuff and really wanting to be included in their adventures even though he's baby. i am all for a latino descendant of wulf and them definitely having a family reunion at some point. i also wouldn't mind having another girl who can kick his ass when he acts stupid. i think there's actually a pattern of toxic masculinity in werewolf media, sometimes as a criticism of it, but i want some strong ladies. my brain now jumped to ginger snaps, but those were a darker breed of werewolf than i really want. idk. we should also probably think of names for everyone. but i'll probably have and easier time naming them when i sketch them.

the main crew are definitely tucker’s official pack though, much to everyone else's confusion. you also made me think that tucker will have complaints about how everyone smells. danny smells like ozone and death, sam like fish, jazz like flowers but specifically in a way that makes him sneeze. he doesn't smell great either to be fair. but it is an ongoing thing. the main irony being that when he goes and hangs out with other werewolves, he smells like his friends, so he stinks to them. i think the fact that his official pack isn't wolves is one of the things that makes him weird for the wolves. they might be tolerant of other monsters but you don't just go and pack bond with them. keep your pack among the wolves. that kinda thing.

sam isn't complaining about her powers really. she loves purification magic and being able to talk to fish and work with underwater plants. she just is annoyed that being a mermaid doesn't fit her aesthetic. that she's suddenly spending all her time on the beach or underwater. that she's at risk of getting a tan. that her weaknesses are much more prominent on land than her strengths and that she sometimes ends up holding her friends back when they suddenly have to deal with her having a tail. i think at some point danny and tucker get her a tricked out wheel chair. explaining why she needs one is tricky, they've never been the best liars, but shenanigans can be had with it.

i was actually imagining the mermaid princess to be more like yue from atla than paulina. that might make her a bit to similar to dora. but again i see her having a core of strength and being incredibly regal and capable when the moment calls for it. i don't think she'd be as naive as dora. i see her as a very strong character but one who embraces and uses her femininity in a way that sam doesn't. sam might be for feminism but she tends to look down on girls who like make up and being pretty. paulina to an extent is pretty shallow but sam isn't exactly that deep herself. she could afford to be less antagonistic to the other girls in her life. so the princess character, i'm thinking merrin as her name, would be more mature than either of them. she matured under the responsibility and pressure she's under and really came to own how she presented herself. so she might look like a Paulina or Ariel on the surface, but underneath that is an iron spine and a terrible amount of frustration.

i think their friendship would be mutually beneficial. merrin might go into their friendship initially manipulative, because she recognized sam's potential to be a leader and thought she could get a break. so she would be subtly pushing sam into the roll in public and teaching her politics on the way. and that would make their relationship more contentious in the beginning. but gradually, as they get closer and merrin has more opportunity to loosen up, it becomes more apparent that the mermaid has a lot to complain about and they have fun bitching about things. sam's helps merrin work out her frustration and just have a life outside her duty. sam meanwhile is maturing about her female relationships, seeing the value of femininity. she's also using what she learns about politics to get her way more on land. passing laws that protect ghosts and animals and the lake.

you're right about them needing to be a trio, though i would argue the fish companion could count as their third depending on how smart we make them. but i suppose we could have another character. i think i mentioned a merman who is considerably smaller than sam but who's flirting with her a lot. he might learn to respect her and get humbled and more helpful as the story progresses though. like character development. he's also really scared of danny, who is not only huge compared to him but also a bloody ghost. wtf. for some reason i'm inclined to call him hector.

either way i'm down with the absolute shenanigans of the mers getting on land and running around amity causing their own brand of chaos and also encountering ghosts and seeing why sam is 'like that'. just having them in the school would be wild. the populars would immediately try to latch on to merrin because she's beautiful and elegant and mature. but she's also taking the opportunity to be immature and messy since none of her subject can see her here. so she's going to say some mean stuff and feel incredibly proud of herself.

aside, mermaids are also known for singing. so i think it would be interesting to have her accidentally pull siren shit on land. i'm debating if singing should be one of sam's powers. it might be one, but she refuses to use that power because her voice doesn't suit the kind of music she likes. she wants to sing metal or punk and she has a voice for choir. i'm also going to go with the head canon that danny can sing well and that ends up being some common ground between him and merrin. danny accidentally getting pulled into a siren trio with ember and merrin. sam and tucker having to break them up, because while they're having fun, they're getting out of control. i don't think either danny or merrin set out to hurt anyone but sometimes you join an accapella group and things happen.

i like spike, a lot. i'm a punk so having characters i con project onto is fun. i'm less inclined to give jazz another side kick though. i could see her maybe almost making friends with a brownie, and it following her home to help clean and take care of it, as brownies do. only for it to be chased out within the day by the pure chaos of the fenton security system. she was so close and yet so far. on the other hand keeping with the theme of jazz making friends with people (and creatures) aesthetically darker than her. i could see her accidentally befriending a dark sithe. a member of the court of shadows. like someone genuinely kinda evil, and who assumes jazz is also more evil than she is based on her power level. they don't help her reputation among the fae. misunderstandings ensue and yet jazz still manages to keep her head and be manipulative enough to escape unharmed from the sithe's manipulations and possible attempts to literally kill her. now i'm imagining jazz somehow inherited jack's oblivious plot armor. where she's naive and friendly enough, to just duck at the right times and dodge all shots accidentally. doyle is loosing their mind. i'm going to call the dark sithe Pantera after my black cat.

i could also see her befriending a pooka. i could see them as a mute character that usually only she can see. for shenanigans. she's not as close with them, but they're one of the nicer fae she's in contact with. the pooka also likes to play pranks and tease people, often invisibly behind their back when only jazz can see them. they go out of their way to make jazz laugh. they're going to be named harvey and are a giant rabbit, because references.

and yep, at this point, danny has been a halfa and hero for more than a year. he's teamed up with his share of ghosts over that year and has a lot of contacts and friends within the ghost zone. i could see him having another episode with sidney where they end up actual friends. now i kinda want sidney to reveal some hidden useful skill that everyone, especially his bullies missed. danny seeing past the nerdiness to the brave and plucky kid the sidney really is and they form a genuine friendship. bonus, danny getting a bit nerdier through proximity and tanking his own reputation in the process. dora probably doesn't leave the zone as often now that she's queen. but they remain good friends. amorpho, wulf, and cujo also count as good friends. i am into danny getting close with kitty, johnny, and ember though. i think it starts with him giving a bit of grown and letting them out of the zone so long as they don't hurt anyone. could also see them sharing music. danny learning the music from the time they died, vs the music he likes now. they're all kinda edgey just in different ways. i also want the punk ghost trio to be a bad influence on him, but in a fun way. because lets be real, danny has gotten really stuck in the goody two shoes act since dan. letting him have some fun and be a bad boy is totally valid as far as i'm concerned. also i just want him riding a motorcycle.

you've made a good point about keeping the human heroes as mainly val's thing. it's much more balance. i might have jumped the gun because, obviously, i'm a superhero nerd. you're right about everyone being busy as hell. i like chief sam but also like sam being a princess just aesthetically. she is going have to build her kingdom, and work mainly in the water though. danny becoming king is happening so he might also be getting training for that at this point, possibly via clockwork shenanigans which takes him all over creation. i know you said tucker is more local but i'm actually going to say that while the werewolf community is relatively small, they move around a lot. the have established territories but they can be pretty freaking big and they travel a lot within them. so tucker leaving town to interact with his family and settle things within the larger territory. which would also give him a larger opportunity to deal with other monsters. he's still the team tech guy though. probably doing some man in the chair stuff. you're right about jazz minding her business. she has school.

but yeah having them be her people and occasional come on missions especially when it concerns their 'thing' such as a rogue vampire or killer whale. val just being able to say i have a guy for that. and having this smug look. in part because she kinda has a guy for everything. her friends are freaking versatile.

aquaman: i can't settle issues in the great lakes because it's technically not my domain and it would anger the mers there. val: oh don't worry i know someone

some of the heroes do end up wondering why her friends aren't part of the league, but they have a life. i think there's a bit of irony in she almost never summons phantom to handle ghost problems because she can handle most ghosts, so the supers probably don't even know she's friends with phantom now. it would have to be a big world threat to bring him in and it would probably blow some minds. in the mean time, any of her other friends showing up, they leave quite an impression for how little they're actually around.

i also think batman goes down a rabbit whole researching her and her friends. initially it looks simple for jazz. ghosts are kinda while but he gets protecting your town from the threat. and her civilian live isn't overly complicated. she was a nice girl who's dad lost his money due to a ghost attack and she ended up taking up ghost hunting on top of a fast food job. she's pretty much a normal person as far as heroes go. but then he looks into her friends. and everyone has a secret life and just keeps getting wilder the further he looks because they're all chaotic and involved in things all over the place. danny is doing stuff all throughout time. that might actually mean batman doesn't put together fenton is phantom. maybe he just assumes phantom is his ancestor, and that's why they look alike. the lab accident and the ghost hunter parents is weird enough though....

actually! batman figuring out that the lab accident gave dany ghost powers but not putting together he's phantom. batman inviting fenton to be a superhero and put his powers to good use, unaware that danny is already a very busy hero. danny being too dumb to refuse because joining the justice league would be so cool. danny having to train his ghost powers in human form and getting a new suit and secret identity. val having to cover for him and finding this entire situation ridiculous. especially because he's going to flunk out of school at this point.

danny: do i need to graduate when i'm going to be king val: no one wants a high school dropout to handle politics. danny: the ghost zone begs to differ

it proves unsustainable and Fenton decides to just be her sidekick when he has time, but otherwise sticks in amity.

blue beetle and cyborg are a cool combination for her. not just because they got powers in similar ways, but also because they're all heroes of color. gotta stick together and have each other's back. just in general they have vibes. i also like val being half in love with wonder woman, because same. training with a strong female hero is everything to val. i think we also need a hero good at challenging her and keeping her level. val isn’t perfect and i think it’s be healthy for someone to challenge her decisions and stubbornness. she’s a little too similar to bats for them to disagree enough to be proper foils. i’m kinda torn on having her foil in the league either be flash or superman.

flash would be a good foil because he’s not really the type to punish his villains. he does his best to get to know people and help his villains get help. he’s a lot looser and fun. i imagine his goofy personality would get on vals nerves cause she takes her job very seriously. he’s also the result of a science gone wrong. he might be a little too similar to danny though. and on the one hand that could emphasis certain point and be used for jokes. we all ready have danny serving as a foil so it probably wouldn’t be as effective as it could be.

superman pulling his innocent golden boy thing though has potential though. they are so inherently different and sups is impossible to hate, so i see val struggling with the fact that she isn’t good enough. she’d probably enter a mental compensation with him. to be as good, to be as heroic, as him. and the fact that she’s loosing is driving her up the wall. especially when he comments about how some of her methods aren’t very heroic. she’s a fighter first and foremost. superman has mad a career out of pulling his punches. val has always been fighting extra hard. essentially she’s jealous. had the potential to let her grow in different ways. i think batman would point out that no one can match sups and that she should be herself. but it still niggles at her. sups plays oblivious but i see him knowing and just affectionately teasing her. she gets better about her jealousy. and even becomes a better hero from the prodding, but she has a mild grudge.

wes would get his own fic in this series of his adventures and the first half being devoted to him discovering his powers and facing the consequences of his actions. like the others would be all about exploring their different worlds and going on magical adventures. and then you have wes, going through a rough puberty and realizing he’s been a jerk to the only people who could possibly help him. fantastic. good shit. it’s a who emotional journey probably full of trips and hiccups and backsliding and denial.

bonus points if his older brother, easton, is in the know and trying to help and ease him through it. but wes is having a conniption because he 1. didn’t notice his brother was an alien and 2. his brother didn’t tell him this was going to happen to him. easton points out that it might not have happened. it skips a lot of people in the family line. it skipped kyle.

kyle is going to be positively oblivious in this. he doesn’t believe in anything paranormal. his brother being an alien is out of the question. it’s really a rule fo the funny situation. is he dumb? is he actually totally aware and just committing to a bit? is he just missing everything by sheer coincidence. who knows... but wes hates it.

so there can be some focus on the brotherly relationships. easton trying to be a good big brother but also being the type who explains nothing and who really doesn’t understand his little brother. kyle being affectionate and great but not understanding anything that’s going on. i think he would probably be the type to give good advice anyway. like the situations he’s imagining or even using as reference are totally normal and have nothing to do with the situation at hand, but is still somehow the perfect advice for the situation at hand. like wes ends up getting pulled into one of the superhero situations and meeting other aliens for the first time, and kyle just takes it as, ‘oh you’re meeting knew people? other conspiracy theorist. bro that’s great. here’s how you make friends.” and wes is going on a riff on how he has no idea what species they are or if there’s any sort of grudges or racism between alien races. and kyle is like “oh they’re foreigners? i knew this swedish exchange student. miscommunications happen, but so long as you’re both trying, things will turn out fine, my brother.”

wes is struggling. but so he eventually gets outed as an alien, and has his character development and panic attacks and so on. he’s a fun character because he’s neurotic enough to act in extremes. going into paranoid isolation, looking everywhere for bugs or white vans. and he’d be trying to train his powers as fast as possible so he’d have a way to defend himself.

when he finally goes to the spooks for help they present a united front, that’s both intimidating and pretty gay because none of them know how to sit like a straight person. i don’t have strong feelings on their sexualities, but not straight is a safe assumption. even works in with the history of monsters being used as metaphorical stand ins for lgbtq people. there’s narrative groundwork for it, and also i’m just queer and down for character i like also being queer. anyway, they spend a whole chunk of the night teasing him and making him grovel for all the trouble he gave them. they don’t make it easy for him and force a litteral verbal apology from him.

but they do help him in the end and relax somewhat afterwards. i don’t think they’ll trust him for a while yet.. he burned a lot of bridges and has a bed habit of not respecting boundaries. that would be an ironic way for him to prove useful actually. he’s stupidly good at observation, so he’s usially the first to know when someone’s or something is off. he is actually weirdly attentive and good at sensing mood changes and problems. like it’s still creepy initially. like why do you know how many times i blink dude? but still it proves useful over time.

i could also see wes, having discovered how effective his cassandra powers are, just... telling the truth to cover for them. it’s like, if no one’s going to believe him anyway, he might as well develop the blunted delivery ever and tell people he told them so when they finally catch on.

star: where is val anyway? wes: she joined the justice league and is away on a mission star: hah, yeah right, nerd wes staring into the camera blank faced and soooo tired

the sad thing is he might get in trouble for lying and making up stories. he is the most honest person in amity at this point. pity him.

his adventure mainly involves figuring out his powers, reluctantly getting involved with the spooks, and yes covering for them. he’s neurotic enough that i can see things getting pretty chaotic for him just dealing with his civilian live and being surrounded by so much paranormal stuff. he probably would be motivated to regain some of the friendships he’d ruined by being so obsessive. i could see him trying to regain popularity at some point, trying to escape the conspiracy theorist title.his relationship with his brothers and his improving relationships with the others can also be it’s own thing. now i’m imagining wes getting pulled on random adventured into the others lives (because no one else was available) and realizing he’s in way over his head. there are also several solid moments of “i could have died. i could have died so many times.” lets be real, if his friends weren’t heroes, they could all individually one shot him out of existence. that realization is only starting to sink in.

he eventually settles in the man in a chair role. tucker had started there, and then later jazz. they all have their techniques and such. tucker covering tech and hacking, jazz mental resources and emotional well being, and wes research has it’s benefits. but i could also see some initial tension. mainly because tucker doesn’t want wes reading his files.or messing up his desk set up.

i’d like for wes to eventually find his place with them, despite the rocky start. val would eventually start introducing him to the aliens in the league and they’d start trying to determine where he’s from and they can eventually have adventures with that. but for the time being, wes is his own worse enemy. he is his own antagonist and honestly that’s valid and relatable of him.

i don’t know if these posts have enough traction yet to produce a fic series and i don’t really want to put the leg work in for that. but i ma having fun just brainstorming with you, so lets roll with that. - Hestia

#dpjl #danny phantom #spooks au #transformation trio au #justice league #i'm starting to take the sheer length of this as a challange #how long can we make it

La Sirena de Nieve

Here's a contribution to this year's Mermay event based on a meme I saw at DeviantArt. It asked the question "What if Princess Sabrina from the Dora the Explorer adventure 'Dora Saves the Snow Kingdom' was a mermaid?"

Well, I decided to answer that question in the form of this artwork. I included the same magic mermaid necklace Dora's friend Mariana gave her, which allows her to become a mermaid. I wonder if she can handle the icy waters of her kingdom, or does she have to migerate to warmer waters?

In any case, I hope you like this.

Character belongs to Nickelodeon/Viacom

Okay so Mermaid Power leaked early so here are my initial thoughts (7/18/22) SPOILERS AHEAD!

The video I saw is chopped up a bit so I missed a couple details but here are all my very first thoughts from seeing the movie for the first time.

- ISLA IS BACK - YAY! But she barely gets to do anything - BOO! The Gemstone Dolphins aren’t back - sort of yay because I hate IRL dolphins, but also boo because they were admittedly cute, and I just wanted to know where they were.

- Marlo is back and wow her motivation is expanded upon in a pretty cool way - she was drawn to the sea because her grandmother told stories of mermaids, and I guess maybe she was one too? That part of the video was cut out, but I think Marlo may actually be a mermaid descendant! That’s cool. But I do wish she had gotten more proper screen time; it kind of felt like she was tacked on because she was in DM. But still, I like that she got a redemption.

- Aquaria is a disabled mermaid!! She has a prosthetic tail!! That’s great. Her brother goes through the typical “has to learn his disabled sibling isn’t helpless” arc, but I like that at the end she thanks Chelsea for not treating her different. Aquaria’s arc is just about wanting to develop her powers, not feeling bad for not being a “normal” mermaid or something like that.

- Malibu not having a mermaid power was an interesting choice, not sure how I feel about it yet.

- Brooklyn is a Mermaid of Fire, Skipper is Air, Stacie is Earth, and Chelsea is Water. I must now proceed to overthink the implications of this.

- The songs were short and honestly not very memorable.

- So many new and great designs for the mermaids; I really liked that. I don’t quite like that some of the mermaids have multicolor skintones while other had human skintones, because it just seemed inconsistent and weird.

- The Mermaid Moon thing gave me H20 vibes.

- The fight against piles of trash gave me Dora Saves the Mermaid vibes...which was weird.

- Speaking of the trash thing, I like that the movie talks a bit about ocean pollution. I just wish they had given more time to it.

- I guess my biggest criticsm at the time of writing this that too much was going on and not a lot got properly developed. The Mermaid Moon, the challenge to find the Power Keeper, plus have to bring Marlo back in and make her cause trouble for about 5 minutes, and then Isla is here but not very much, oh, and don’t pollute. I think they needed to trim out the edges of their story tree a bit.

Overall, I actually enjoyed it more than BPA & BCBD (and TLB of course). Very messy and too short but cute and fun.

WAIT WAIT Okay I raise this crackship rarepair as well because I am a fool whos now obsessed with Namora: Namora x Ramonda. Straight up, imagine an au where she has those water powers Mera has in Aquaman, and for some reason idc saves Ramonda's life. Like Namora sees her have a chance to save her own life, but the queen sacrifices herself to save Riri, a young american girl she barely knew, simply because she didn't deserve to die and Namora respects the fuck outta her for it and says screw it my cousin made his point, and boom she simply kneels beside Okoye and pulls the water from her lungs. People still died when Nakia came to get Shuri, and people still died during the attack so the final fight still happens. Imagine Ramonda fight in the armor she wore in that one Marvel's What If episode (which I loved so much, cause it's very reminiscent of Ramonda being in the Dora Milaje before marrying T'chaka), after Riri yeets Namora to the water she comes back to shore and sees the woman she spared fighting her soldiers and just. Pulls an Attuma, right then and there. Like oh, the queen is also a magnificent warrior 😳 she just disarmed my men beautifully. I must test her might myself. And lo and behold, they beat each others asses, and nobody really wins cause Namor and Shuri call the truce. But goddammit, Namore is down bad for a surface warrior queen. And mad about it.

Ohhh interesting pairing! I've never actually thought about this?? But I can totally get behind it bc 1) power couple 2) Ramonda x Namora is some queen shit right there and also 3) I'm a sucker for underwater kisses where one person is a normal human being and the other is some kind of mer-creature. I've ways been trash for The Little Mermaid ever since I watched it in my formative years and I'm sorry but it's molded personality ever since. 🙈🙈

Utter(ly) Random: Disney Expo (D23)

September 2nd saw the Disney Expo, or D23, take place in Anaheim, California. Trailers, announcements, and ceremonies took center stage, as Disney revealed works that would be released in the next few years. Here are a few pieces that took place that caught my attention.

MARVEL MOVIES

Superheros were not left out of the D23 announcements. The footage was revealed for the much anticipated Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, scheduled for release on November 11, 2022. The clip showed Queen Ramonda criticizing the U.N. for attempting to steal vibranium following the death of T’Challa, as well as the strength of Dora Milaje. This seems to be setting the stage for the upcoming battles with Namor and the Atlanteans.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is actually the first film released in Phase 5 of the MCU. Revealed footage showed Lang, Van Dyne and Pym being forced into the quantum realm and facing Kang the Conqueror.

Entirely shot in black and white, the Werewolf by Night follows a group of monster hunters seeking beasts that live among them. This movie is scheduled to be released in October.

The Marvels, Thunderbolts, Captain America: New World Order, and Fantastic Four all had footage revealed and further announcements about production.

MARVEL T.V

Ironheart, a television series following a superhero of the same name, has Riri Williams played by Dominique Thorne at the helm. She is also spotted in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, making her iconic Ironheart armor. The series is a sequel to Black Panther.

The Loki trailer was released for season 2, promising that Loki is back to his antics.

Echo, which was the antagonist for Hawkeye, will get her own show, and Daredevil: Born Again has Charlie Cox donning his vigilante costume again. Secret Invasion saw the return of Fury and the “invasion” of the shape-changing aliens known as the Skrull.

LIVE ACTION AND ANIMATION

Pixar announced some upcoming works as well as a surprise sequel.

Elemental, which follows two elements on the opposite side of the spectrum, must navigate their growing relationship as polar opposites.

Elio is centered around an 11-year-old boy of the same name who finds himself as the emissary for Earth after accidentally decoding a message from aliens.

Riley is back! Inside Out 2 follows a teenage Riley navigating new emotions and new challenges.

Disney+ will have some new movies and shows hitting their platform this year and in the next coming years.

Zootopia+ will arrive in November and will be a collection of shorts following the citizens of Zootopia.

Iwaju will be released in 2023 and follows an heiress named Tola and a boy names Kole.

Strange Worlds which will be in THEATERS Thanksgiving 2022 follow the Clades who are explorers.

Wish is about the star that so many of the beloved Disney characters wish upon. Set in the Kingdom of Roses, Asha sees darkness settling in the kingdom that only she sees. Making a desperate plea to the stars, an actual star (aptly named Star) falls to help Asha save the kingdom.

The sisters are back! Hocus Pocus 2 will cast a spell on Disney+ on September 30th.

Disenchanted, a surprise sequel to Enchanted, has Amy Adams, James Marsden, and Patrick Dempsey reprising their roles. It will be streaming on Disney+ in November.

Peter Pan & Wendy, Haunted Mansion, Mufasa: The Lion King, Snow White, and The Little Mermaid will be getting live-action boots.

Most releases take place in the 2023–2024 year, and some are released throughout the rest of this year.

It’s too early for me to make any clear assumptions about releases or to criticize anything. I think I’ll wait for more information to be released before I do a breakdown, or if I’m excited about anything.

Are you excited about any Disney/Pixar releases?

#disney+#disney #d23 #disney expo #peter pan #hocus pocus #the lion king #ironheart #snow white #disenchanted #enchanted #the little mermaid #pixar #zootopia #inside out 2 #inside out

Halfway to One

It's been an eventful six months since Kent was born. I remember packing away the 6-month old gifts he received and thinking it would be ages before we'd reopen that box. Now, here we are! Our lives have changed so drastically, but all for the better. Our social worker visits have concluded and now we wait for the Texas judge to make the adoption official. Our lawyer plans to go to court during the last week of November, so it'll be here before we know it.

When we look at Kent, it's hard to believe that he was once a newborn. His facial features have really started to come in. He has this beautiful, long, curly, caramel hair. His smile, showcasing little dimples on each cheek, has never wavered. And his eyes are still bright, shiny, with a light color flashing back. Just the other day we noticed two small teeth coming in out of his bottom gums. He certainly keeps us busy and is the biggest joy in our life.

October was such a fun month! Kent managed to fit inside a pumpkin we carved so we had to do the obligatory baby pumpkin photo. For Halloween we dressed up as the Little Mermaid with Kent as Flounder, dad as Prince Eric, and mom as Ariel. The dogs (not pictured) were Sebastian and Ursula. We put Kent in his bouncer on Halloween so he could watch all the trick or treaters walking up our doorstep. The kids seemed just as curious to see the baby in the window as Kent did to see them. We ended up with 50+ visitors on Halloween as we handed out candy and Pokémon cards. We also shared with Kent what Dia de los Muertos was and how we celebrate. We showed him our ofrenda and why we celebrate the loved ones we've lost. We hope one day he'll understand why, but for now we're just teaching him all the things in the hopes that one day it'll all make sense. Being a parent is like being a teacher for life. All I want is for Kent to grow up and be able to navigate this world on his own and it's our job to teach him how. And yes, we realize he's a baby that doesn't talk yet, but that doesn't mean it's too early to start.

Since Rob went back to work, Kent has started going to grandma and grandpa's house 2x per week and to a nanny 3x per week. His nanny, Dora, even speaks Spanish to him. So far, it seems to be working out quite well. Kent has been adjusting smoothly to the different environments, which we feel is an important aspect of his development. We want him to be comfortable with other people, to eat anywhere, and to sleep any time. And while he occasionally wakes up in the night for a feeding like any other baby, he is honestly one of the most chill/laid back infants I have ever known. And being in a large Hispanic family, that's saying something!

We began introducing solids to Kent and he has been eating like a champ! So far, he's tried spinach, broccoli, avocado, carrots, and green beans. I think carrots might be his favorite! He's still on the bottle of course, but he's been enjoying the new textures and flavors we've introduced to him. He gets a new food about every 4 days or so to ensure there's no allergic reaction. His tummy has a small, red rash, but we're uncertain if it's a food allergy or just sensitive skin. Luckily, we have his 6-month check-up later this evening so we can see how he's doing.

We did get some family photos done by a good friend. We're saving most of them for our Christmas card, but here's a preview. It was a rainy, Washington day yet our friend still managed to capture the beauty of Fall without it ruining the shots. We are in love! We hope before our next blog post to have some good news regarding the adoption legalization. Just one year ago we learned we couldn't have children and within one day decided adoption was for us. Now here we are with a 6-month old. Life is funny like that. Here's to another glorious 6-months with our little ball of sunshine, baby Kent.

Instead of letting you go, instead of accepting that he’d driven this relationship into the fucking ground, he’d promised himself that he could still save it.

*presented by @tteokdoroki Dragon King!Katsuki x reader: On the twenty-first birthday of Katsuki Bakugou, an offering is made in his honour as he becomes chief of the dragons. Clans usually offer up sacrifices of berries or nuts, salts and fresh catches. But for those of Dargon’s blood, their offering is a mate... And that mate is you.

*domina by rat-suki Katsuki x reader: He’s just so hot when you get under his skin. You can’t possibly stop now.

*baby, i’m a haunted house by @ketslketslketsl Yakuza!Katsuki x reader: It’s been a long six months since you last saw him.

i’m a liability, get you wild, make you leave (i’m a little much for everyone) by @willowser Katsuki x reader: There’s no reason for Katsuki to be here. It’s all he can think, bitter, as he stares at the paint peeling from the door, exposing the wood grain underneath its thin coat. Old and distant, this house; too far from the city to make the trek worth it, for your job to make sense; too ancient to be lived in by the number 12 hero in Japan. If he closes his eyes, he can hear Lake Biwa from his position on your porch and the soft sway of the water almost calms down the storm that’s been building in him since he boarded the train, since he nearly snapped his phone in half.

*we are the foxes (and we run) by @spacelabrathor shoyo hinata x reader: After everything, the end of the world and the chaos and destruction that reigned after society fell, it takes a lot to surprise you. And yet, when you come to the edge of the pit, a gasp wrenches from you like someone gripped it in their fist and yanked. Laid out on the bed of leaves at the bottom of the pit is...something. Someone. Or, Hinata falls into reader’s pit trap after the end of the world. This is the story of how she pulls him out, drags him to her bunker, and they grow together.

*dark priest!Obiwan Kenobi by @mandosmimi

you’re the former babysitter of zemo’s son by @helahades

*mando doesn’t realize how big his dick is by @cptnbvcks

[Review] Dora the Explorer: Dora Saves the Mermaids (PS2 & DS)

Yay! Mermaids! But can a game intended for preschoolers entertain me, a grown adult, a task for which it was never intended??

This is essentially my introduction to the world of Dora. This is a US show for young children with educational elements. Dora herself is bilingual and I think maybe teaching kids some Spanish is one of the educational elements; I did learn a word or two from this! This particular game is based on an episode/movie where the message is loud and clear: pollution is bad and don’t litter!

I must say it’s amusing to play through a licensed “shovelware” type game and hear the character shouting “GARBAGE!” constantly, especially in the DS version. But really the game is decent enough for its intended age range. On DS it’s incredibly simplistic and short, consisting of touchscreen and microphone-based minigames with interstitial scenes made up of crunched screenshots from the movie. It assumes you’ve seen it as there’s no voiceover in these parts to help you through the plot.

The PS2 version is better about being a complete experience with voiced cutscenes and all, although its modelled 3D characters are a bit creepier than the DS’s 2D artwork, especially Dora herself. Still, it has more to do; the minigames are worse and clunkier but between them are very basic 3D “platformer” sections where you collect gems to power up the mermaids’ magic crown. It’s all very smooth and chill, with no risk of setback. There’s even a mode where a parent can use the second controller to guide and encourage the primary player, which would probably be nice for a shared experience with a young tot. It’s constantly tutorialising at you though; surely even a toddler doesn’t need to be told every single time that they need to move the analogue stick and press the action button; it’s the same control all the way through the game!

My main problem with the game is Dora’s transformation into a mermaid comes too late! There’s only one pair of levels out of the four pairs total where she’s under the sea, although in the third set you do get to ride a dolphin. The underwater sections are identical to previous parts, just with a different aesthetic and the unfortunate absence of Dora’s monkey companion Boots. Oh well.

It actually made for a relaxing hour, cruising through this. The characters are cute, and they replicate the show dynamic where you’re encouraged to talk back (only the DS is able to make this an actual mechanic, of course). In a way a video game is the ultimate fulfilment of that interactive aspect of the show, so it’s a good fit. I don’t really recommend it at all, I’ve just been playing mermaid games on my Twitch streams (every Wednesday 1pm AEST at twitch.tv/miloscatter plug plug, archived at youtube.com/channel/UCAyVI8sXU_NNZopJCuwRy9A plug plug) so I checked this out from curiosity. Also it’s nice to see a video game with a protagonist who’s a woman of colour, that’s rare and worth celebrating!

If motogp riders were Disney princesses, which one would they be and why? + add their prince charming and animal sidekicks if you want ✨✨✨

(I hope this will help to stay awake but I'm not sure 😅)

You have decided that if Waru is the one sending the weird questions, then we'll send them back. I love it.

So my brain, as you imagine, refuses to collaborate (specially after a24 hours race), so I'll go down the list of Disney princes and then assign them to any rider because reason.

Cele is Snow white, just look at him. Dark hair check, pale skin check (and after a race his check are red just like Snow White) and his lips are also reddish. Also, Andy ( @stingerheart ) put that idea in my mind, it refuses to go away.

Pecco would be Happy (dwarf from Snow White) because I've never seen him unhappy.

Dani as Mulan because she's one of the bravest girls in the whole franchise (I know Mulan is not technically a Disney prince, but it was my favourite film). He also also as clever as Mulan to use the weapon at his disposal when he has to fight (on track) with people who are better adapted and bigger.

Jorge Lorenzo as Shang because he acts all macho, 'I'm the best' and 'I'm superior' but then we all know he's a giant Marshmello. He also is terrible at picking up girls as Shang and because Shang marries Mulan in Mulan 2 and Jorge and Dani are married.

Luca Marini as Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), both blondes and from the VR46Academy Luca is the one who goes MIA most of the time, just like a 100-years sleeping princes.

Miguel is Belle (from Belle and the Beast) because, among the riders he's the smartest one (his word, not mine).

Jorge Martín as Lumier or his cocky activated, but at the end he gave Zarco the victory at Qatar 2.

Iker Lecuona as Dora the Explorer Chip because both of them are the younger and happier characters.

Maverick as Tiana, just for the affinity for the food. Maverick seems to enjoy when he's in the kitchen, so does Tiana (I haven't seen the film, just the Once Upon a Time reference).

I want to say that Zarco is Ariel because sometimes he lives in his own bubble, but Ariel does understand what's going on at the end, so Zarco is Flounders because he's like that all the time.

Remy as Ariel because as the mermaid he has let the flow guide him into MotoGP. He also seems to be in his own bubble.

Vale would be Triton (you didn't see that one coming) because he only wants to do what is best for their daughters, even if sometimes he's too strict.

Fabio as Cinderella because he wasn't having a good day until a fairy (Petronas) come to save the day. Just for reference, the shoe will be last year's bike and the prince the Factory seat.

Raúl Fernández as Jasmine because he's been, an exotic discovery.

Pedro Acosta as the Genie because he has done magic in his own way.

Deniz Öncü as Aladdin because he has managed to sneak and surprise people even with Acosta around.

KTM management would be Jafar because they are greedy and want power.

Pol as Rapunzel because he has the same chaotic vibe.

Aleix would be the horse because he is equally loyal and self-righteous, even if sometimes the forms are not the best ones.

Danilo can be King Fergus from Brave because both of them seem to not see what's happening around them.

I have no explanation for this one, but Mir as Merida.

Álex M. as one of his brothers (they are chaos, the same as Álex in the minion costume).

Marc would be Megara, because at the end of the day he kind of saved Honda. He is just in waiting for Honda to pick her from that giant toilet with souls.

Yeah, that's all I could come up in such short notice. It actually was fun to do.

Thought I Couldn't Top It, Huh? OVER 2000 Questions! (Truly the Longest!) Created by distortedcognition

Part 14 Which Age is this Appropriate For... Radios. Whenever. Gardening. I know that elementary school kids do gardening projects sometimes, so as long as they have adult supervision and help when using the gardening tools and they’re able to use them properly I don’t see a problem. Lava lamps. I had one when I was a kid. Black lights. Uhh, I don’t see why a kid or teenager would have a use for one, but a teen could I guess. Hovercrafts. Teenager. Cars. When they’re the legal age to get their permit and license at least. And responsible enough. Not all teenagers should be out on the road that’s for sure, but there’s a lot of adults who shouldn’t be either. Spaghetti straps. Teenager. Hopscotch. As soon as they can walk? My Little Pony. Whenever.

Barbies. Whenever. Tonka trucks. Whenever. Edgar Allan Poe. Probably teenager to likely understand it better. MySpace. Social media should be teenager at least. The Internet in general. Kids can use it, but with parental guidance and have all the safety settings in place. The time should be limited as well, and educational stuff included. Neopets. Again, kids can use stuff like that just be monitored. Quizilla. Teenager. Vampirefreaks. Teenager. Disney. Same thing I’ve said already about kids using the internet. Lizzie McGuire. Teenagers would probably enjoy it more, but it’s also kid appropriate I think. Beauty and the Beast. Kids can watch it if they want. Elton John. I mean, whenever really. I don’t find his music to be inappropriate. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Again, whenever really. Probably nice to start young children on classical music. Bauhaus. I don’t know what that is. Satanism. Uh, I would say never. Biolage. ?? Hair curlers. Whenever. Hairspray. I mean, I guess whenever but I don’t see why a kid would need to. I guess in some cases if they’re like a cheerleadr, ballet dancer, etc where they have to have their hair done and kept in place. Nail polish. I don’t see an issue with kids wearing it. Short skirts. I’d say young adult. Bikinis. I’d say young adult as well, but I guess mid to late teens. Tanning. When done right and safe, I don’t see why a teen couldn’t get a natural tan or use some tanning lotion. I don’t see the need for spray tans and tanning beds, personally. Fun. Uh, all ages? When to form your own band. Teenager. Playing the piano. Kid. But if that’s what they want to do, not something they’re pressured to do by their parents. It should be fun and encouraged, not something forced. Staying home alone. Teenager and if they’re responsible enough to do so. Videogames. Depends on the type of game. Dora the Explorer. Kids. The Little Mermaid. Kids. Eminem. Teenager. PLAGIARIZING. No one should. Voting. 18. Perfume. Probably teenager, but I would say body spray over perfume at that age. Makeup. Teenager. Accessorizing. Whenever. Finding Nemo. Whenever. Pirates of the Caribbean. Whenever. Swearing. I would say adult, but we know that’s not happening. Going to war. At least 18 I guess. Sports. Whenever, just if it’s done safe and age appropriate. Having a child. Adult who is responsible and ready to do so would be ideal. Getting married. Adult. Living on your own. Adult. Teen Spirit. Teen?

Lady Speed Stick. Oh, Teen Spirit the deodorant haha I’m dumb. Anyway, whenever they hit puberty and start needing it. Cologne. Teenager. NASA. Adult.

Going on a cruise. Whenever. College. Young adult and up is how it usually goes, but some teenagers are able to get into college. Graduating from high school. Teen. Going to the movies without a parent. Teen. Santa Claus. Hey, as long as you want. Easter Bunny. Whenever. Tooth fairy. Whenever. Bird watching. Whenever, I guess? Coin collecting. Whenever. Housekeeping. You can give kids light chores, nothing too crazy. Like to pick up their toys. Pink Panther. Whenever. Sherlock Holmes. Probably middle school school and up. Oscar Wilde. Teenager. RL Stine. I was reading Goosebumps in elementary school. Lemony Snicket. Elementary school. JK Rowling. Elementary school. Terry Brooks. Not sure who that is. Alvin Schwartz. ^^^ JRR Tolkein Probably teenager. Charles Dickens. Probably middle school. Ernest Hemingway. Middle school. Green Day. Teenager. Ghost stories. I mean, it can. be fun for kids but keep it light and appropriate and if they’re scared then obviously stop. Law and Order: SVU. Teenager. Campfires. Kids can do it if they’re with adult supervision. Sleepovers. Kids. Sleepover parties. What’s the difference? American Idol. Whenever.

Freckles. Whenever?? That’s not something you can control and they’re just freckles... Whitened teeth. Teenager at least. Plastic surgery. Adult. Community service. Depends on what they’re doing. I did some volunteer work as a Girl Scout when I was a kid. What will Happen/How will the world End? **I’m skipping this.** Giant tornado. Nuclear war. Giant tsunami. A title wave. An asteroid. Explosion of the sun. Giant volcanic erruption. Giant freak afternoon tea accident. Giant missile crisis. Another Great Depression. Only worse. Earthquake. Penguins will take over the world. Parrots become the dominant. Alien invasion. Bigfoot will invite his pals over, Bighead, Bighands, and Bigtummy. Lochness monster will have children. Everyone will turn cannibalistic. Everyone will run out of natural resources. Third Ice Age. Global warming. Precambrian Eon will return. Toxic fumes. Disappearing water. Planet collision. Termites. George W. Bush will get a third reelection. Everyone will commit suicide. Intergalactic highway construction. Intergalactic spies like Kiri will take over. PLAGIARISTS will rule the world. Lions will eat us all. Cockroaches will rule the world. A pandemic. The Black Plague will avenge itself. Mythical creatures will come back and reclaim their world. The Big Bang will reoccur. Pesticide will kill all the insects in the world. The Earth will spontaneously combust. The world will collapse. Genocide. All the money will burn. Cell phones really did cause brain tumors. Karma will kill us. All the stars in the universe will explode at once. Ghosts will kill us. A giant fan will blow us away. Pizza Hut will explode. Hair curlers will burn us all. Everyone will get a perm and die of fright from looking at each other. Grandmas will turn rabid. PLAGIARISTS will make Reko and Kiri angry. The Mohorovicic Discontinuity will disappear. Daddy Long Legs will get a larger mouth. People get so lazy that their lawn will grow too high to allow sunlight in. Twinkle will succeed as a dictator. Star will become president. Biotech disaster. People will not actually save money switching to Geico. Cingular and Verizon will never join. Pollution. Giant feet. o.o Everyone will become a movie copycat. Pandemonium at football games will get a little too extreme.
