i find the old tales alluring. they may be grimmer, they may be unfiltered, but the roughness in them makes them all the more beautiful. like gems in the walls of caves, uncut, unshaped, unpolished by human hands. sure, the jewels that come from them are stunning, but can't compare with the breathtaking shine of gems where they belong to.
they're still magical, the old fairytales. the original versions, as we call them now. it's just a different kind of magic. closer. of this world. earthgrounded. while the ones disney, for example, stream, are otherwordly, the folk tales take inspiration from the world around, make it seem like we could walk outside and live in one of them.

WORD COUNT || 2.1k
NOTES || this is my first post on tumblr ! had to create an account just for these boys i adore. requests are open, and please leave me feedback ! <3
ꉂ — 𖥦 ♡ ,, SUNG HANBIN 𖥻 ❛ touch ❜
SUNG HANBIN touches you like you are his lifeline; like golden ichor flows through your veins and bubbly springs overflow in your mouth, as if your skin is made of fibers woven by Athena herself. His touches are feather-soft, lingering sweetly on your flesh and body, leaving fingerprints of moon dust. He wraps his hands around your torso under the cover of the sun, pressing sugary kisses to your temples early in the morning through silk curtains, whispered promises of love and devotion leaving his lips to caress your ears.
Hanbin laces your fingers together more often than not; soft hands tracing the lines of your palm as if he could read the future you two will build together there. Whether it’s a hand on your thigh, a finger wrapping around your pinky, or a head on your shoulder, he craves your touch like a starved man.
As you lay in bed, head resting softly on his chest, you peer up at him.
“Can you breathe fine like this?” You ask, eyebrows furrowing inward slightly in concern. Hanbin laughs— a short, sweet thing that rings like wedding bells in your mind— and nods.
He gazes down at you, eyes staring at you as if you hold the world in the palms of your hands, and you feel the cold touch of his fingers brushing circles against your hip.
“There is no other way I could wish to breathe,” He replies, words soft and laced with the admiration he feels for you.
ꉂ — 𖥦 ♡ ,, ZHANG HAO 𖥻 ❛ fruits ❜
ZHANG HAO loves you dearly— his love runs deeper than the ocean, glittering water that shimmers and shines with every action and word you perform. You know it, he knows it, and there is nothing else either of you need. He loves you like the sun loves the moon, like the waves love the shore, like Prometheus loves his creations. He loves you like there is no other option; and for him, there isn’t.
Often, you find yourself staying up late to finish the schoolwork you neglect until the last minute, pencil in your mouth and eyes narrowed in thought. Problems and their solutions swim in your mind, crossing over into the other and leaving you more and more confused.
“You need to sleep,” Hao’s stern voice comes from the doorway, arms crossed in discontent as he watches you study.
“I need to finish this,” You argue, even as your eyes beg for sleep and your knees ache from sitting down for hours. You can hear Hao move across the room, floorboards creaking softly underfoot as he makes his way toward you.
“At least eat something,” He says, placing a bowl of crisp apple slices in front of you. You pick one up, noticing how the skin has been cut in a specific way to resemble a bunny. Before you can thank him he’s gone, out the doorway— probably to sleep.
The next day, as you sit down to study, you notice a bowl of freshly-cut bunny apples waiting for you, and a small sticky-note with the words “try and sleep early tonight”.
ꉂ — 𖥦 ♡ ,, KIM JIWOONG 𖥻 ❛ long drives ❜
KIM JIWOONG was always extremely stubborn when it came to road safety— not that it was a bad thing, you could appreciate it, really. Eyes on the road, two hands on the steering wheel, music never too loud, and seatbelts are buckled before the car moves even a millimeter. But ever since meeting you, he’s taken to driving one-handed, always leaving one hand open for you to hold.
Inside his car, there is only you and him. There is only Jiwoong’s devotion to you. There is only starlight and sublime tears, moonlit kisses and beating hearts that mold into one, only his hand in yours.
No words need to be exchanged as wheels turn steadily on pavement roads, soft chirps of grasshoppers and croaks of frogs filling the empty spaces. There are no words that need to be exchanged when they’ve all already been said; “I love you” loses its meaning after a while, and now your love is found in the feeling of his hands on yours, of your eyes interlocking gazes in the rearview mirror, of hidden smiles and inside jokes. Now, your love is found in the lack of words needed when Jiwoong grabs his keys from the wall and only has to look at you to ask if you want to go on a drive with him.
No words are needed when you love as strongly as you do.
ꉂ — 𖥦 ♡ ,, PARK GUNWOOK 𖥻 ❛ this reminded me of you ❜
PARK GUNWOOK thinks that, if there are a million universes, he loves you in every single one. He has bared his heart for you to take like a oyster with its pearl— he would rip apart his heart and sew it back together in the shape of you, for you are in the only thing in it. He sees his entire world in you, and in the world he sees you.
He sees you in the lipstick mark of an abandoned coffee cup, he sees you in the sketchy lines of a street mural, he sees you in blossoming bouquets of spring and bicycles parked on the beach. When Gunwook enters a shop, every item relates back to you; how would you like this shirt on him? Would this look cute on you? Is this your style of decor?
He doesn’t mean to buy you so many things, really, it just happens. As you dance in your living room with him, choked laughter ringing in the air, a collection of miscellaneous items decorate your walls and shelves.
A penguin sculpture for the way you purse your lips in thought. A magazine cut-out of an ad for the same picnic blanket you had your first date on. A collection of pink stickers scattered along the walls for the color of your shirt the day he asked you out.
This room is a log of your m emories; of the love you share, of the tears and the smiles, of all the good and the bad and the in-between. It’s a dictionary of every moment the two of you have shared, fluent in the language of love. And yet there are so many empty spaces, empty pages, for the next moments to come, and you doubt this book will ever close.
ꉂ — 𖥦 ♡ ,, SEOK MATTHEW 𖥻 ❛ admiration in his eyes ❜
SEOK MATTHEW is like the sun. Bright, happy, a shining, glimmering light that can cast even the most gloomy of days away. His smile is like the medicine to a sickness you never knew you had, his eyes crescent rainbows that reflect every good feeling you can have, his laugh like the ripples of a fresh river swirling around your legs in summer. Seok Matthew is the sun in every meaning of the word.
And you are his moon. He would chase you to the ends of the Earth for eternity just for a glimpse of your smile, just a word from your lips, just a small glance at your eyes, and he would do it for longer than the term “forever” can communicate. He will follow wherever you go, no matter if it’s down to a fiery pit of justice or up to a symphony of angels chorusing for you.
When you speak, Matthew’s eyes are fully on you. Never will it stray (and he has suffered being the butt of many, many jokes because of this), but he can’t help it. Why would he ever want to look away from you, if you are all he ever wants to look at? Stars in his eyes, but you are his one moon.
He hardly ever dreams when he sleeps, for every moment with you is enough to last him through his years without a wink of slumber. He would never have to rest his head if only he can hear you laugh everyday— when you smile, he smiles, and it lights up the world.
ꉂ — 𖥦 ♡ ,, KIM TAERAE 𖥻 ❛ love songs ❜
KIM TAERAE wonders how anybody enjoyed listening to him sing before he met you, for he never knew true love before. Never has he been able to sing fully with the implication of knowing, never has he embarked on the journey of admiration the songs describe, and never has he known this warm, bubbly feeling called love. Now, every word is charged with the meaning of you; the love he holds for you, the smiles he hides for you, the guitar strings he strums for you, the songs he sings just for you.
His Spotify playlists have become perhaps seven times longer than before, filled to the brim with soft songs that he dedicates entirely to your being.
“Your lips, my lips,” Taerae sang, voice sweet but gravelly, the melody tuned to the sound of beating hearts and hushed kisses. You sit next to him, watching his lips move in a fixed fascination as his deft fingers strum the strings of his guitar like an expert. He plays the strings of your heart the same way; with a practiced ease, like it was what he was born to do.
“Go and sneak us through rivers,” He continues, eyes focused not on his guitar but on you. Taerae thanks every soul that has ever lived on Earth before this, and every soul after, that you were born in such a time and place that he could meet you and fall in love. “Flood is rising up on your knees.”
“Oh please, come out and haunt me.”
ꉂ — 𖥦 ♡ ,, KUM JUNHYEON 𖥻 ❛ bad movies ❜
KUM JUNHYEON has always been a warm person; he is made of fiery spirits and nipping branches, of autumn leaves tumbling to the ground in piles, ready to be jumped in. He’s made of loud words and screaming laughs, of bad aeygo and joking whispers, and you wouldn’t have it any other way. He is entirely odd, and he’s entirely yours.
So it makes sense he shows his love for you through bad movies. You have never laughed as much as you have when you sit with him on a worn-down couch, bowls of popcorn in your hands, tall cups of soda ready to be drunk on your table. Never have you laughed so hard you snorted except for when Junhyeon made you watch The Emoji Movie with him and interrupted every other sentence to make a joke— and even after that, Junhyeon couldn’t get a joke out because he was laughing too hard at the fact you snorted.
Laughter is uncontrollable when you’re around Junhyeon— when you cuddle up next to him, and even when your eyes are begging for sleep, you can’t stop laughing. When you’re sure you’ve got abs from the hours of jokes, when you’re certain you’ll have laugh lines deeper than the grand canyon after how many years you’ve spent with Junhyeon.
It’s odd, yes, but it’s so entirely Junhyeon.
ꉂ — 𖥦 ♡ ,, RICKY 𖥻 ❛ gifts ❜
RICKY is young, rich, tall, and handsome, there is no denying that. One thing they never revealed is the fact he’s perceptive— frighteningly so. If you even mention liking something in passing, rest assured there will be a basket of it in your kitchen the next day. If you spend even a fraction of a second too long looking at a piece of jewelry, best believe it’s draped around your neck the next day.
It’s not that he enjoys flaunting his wealth. It’s just… what else should he use it for, if not the one he loves the most? He would buy a thousand gems of the rarest ore just for a single second of your happiness. He would sell his fortune for the feel of his hand in yours— he’d even give up hairspray just to kiss your lips once.
Ricky thinks and feels so much all the time, his heart is bruised and bleeding, but you have become a doctor just to repair him. He loves you in the way nobody can understand; and he does not need understanding when he has admiration. He thinks there is a chapel within his heart entirely dedicated to you; that if he is reincarnated, it will be as a passing breeze that thinks only of you.
“I love you,” He says more often than he thought he ever would.
“I love you, too.” He hears back more often than he thought possible.

Tumblr media
The holiday season was in full swing, and the halls of Hogwarts were buzzing with excitement. Amidst the flurry of students exchanging gifts and planning holiday festivities, you found yourself busier than ever, balancing your studies with a part-time job at Honeydukes.
As you arranged the shelves of chocolate frogs and peppermint wands, you couldn't help but notice the familiar figure that strolled through the door. Lorenzo Berkshire sauntered in with his trademark grin, his eyes scanning for yours across the room.
"Hey there, sweetness," he greeted, leaning casually against one of the shelves. "You must be a Snitch, because you're hard to catch."
Rolling your eyes, you chuckled, accustomed to Enzo's cheesy pick-up lines by now. "What can I get for you today?"
He flashed you a charming smile. "How about a date? I heard they're pretty sweet."
You laughed, shaking your head. "Nice try, Enzo. But you're not getting free candy with that one."
Undeterred, Enzo leaned in closer, his playful grin never faltering. "If you were a Dementor, I'd become a criminal just to get your kiss."
Despite yourself, you couldn't help but blush at his audacity. It was hard not to be charmed by his confidence and quick wit, even if you suspected he used the same lines on every girl in school.
As the weeks went by, Enzo's visits became a highlight of your weekends. His cheesy flirting never failed to elicit a laugh, and you found yourself looking forward to his playful banter more than you cared to admit. It was becoming harder and harder not to get your hopes up, to wish that you were the sole recipient of his lines and charming smiles.
One chilly december afternoon, as the snow fell softly outside and the scent of chocolate filled the air, Enzo once again entered Honeydukes with a mischievous glint in his eye. This time, you were stood behind the counter, pushing the book you had been reading during the lull in customers to the side as the little bell above the door rung out.
"Hey there, sugar," he greeted as he walked up to you, his smile more genuine than usual.
You couldn't help but smile back, trying to ignore the flutter in your stomach as he leaned on the counter, his face moving ever so slightly closer to yours. "Hey, Enzo. Go on, lay it on me.”
Enzo chuckled, his intense eye contact almost making you dizzy. "Well, how about this one: Are you a Fizzing Whizbee? Because you make my heart flutter like a Golden Snitch."
You laughed, shaking your head. "Creative. You came up with that all by yourself, huh?"
Undeterred, Enzo pressed on. "Okay, okay, one more: Are you a Chocolate Frog? Because whenever I'm with you, I feel like I've found my collectible card."
You rolled your eyes playfully. "Nice try, Enzo. But I've heard that one before."
Enzo's smile faltered slightly, and you could sense a shift in his demeanor. You paused, taken aback by the sudden seriousness flashing across his features. "What’s wrong? Don’t worry, it’s still a good line.”
He just stared at you for another moment before pushing his hands through his messy mop of hair, his lips spreading back into a smile but the usual glint was still missing from his eyes. "Do you think I could steal you away for a minute?"
Curious, you nodded, following him to a secluded corner of the shop after checking that no one else needed your assistance at the moment. Enzo was wringing his hands as he came to a stop, turning to face you.
"Listen, I know I've been laying it on pretty thick with the pick-up lines," Enzo began, his tone sincere. "And it’s pretty clear that they aren’t working.  So I’m just going to tell you the truth. I really like you. You're not like anyone I've ever met before. And I would love to take you out if you’ll let me."
Your heart skipped a beat as Enzo's words washed over you. The sincerity in his voice was undeniable, and you felt a rush of warmth flood your cheeks.
"I like you too, Enzo," you admitted, meeting his gaze with a shy smile. "And I'd love to go out with you."
Enzo's grin returned, brighter than ever. "Great! When does your shift end? I'll pick you up then, and we can head to the Three Broomsticks for a butterbeer?"
You glanced at the clock on the wall, noting the time. "I'm off in about two hours. Is that okay?"
"Perfect," Enzo replied, excitement evident in his voice. "I can’t wait."
As he turned to leave, you couldn't resist calling out to him, a mischievous twinkle in your eye.
"Hey, Enzo," you said, stopping him in his tracks. "If you were a Quidditch match, I'd be the seeker because I'd always be chasing after you."
Enzo burst into laughter, his grin stretching even further as he shook his head in amusement. "That's a good one. I'll see later, yeah?"
With that, he disappeared through the door, leaving you with a fluttering heart and a smile that refused to fade.

If you have the time, could you maybe do a scene with bigb teaching grian how to bake his famous cookies? Or maybe something a bit more angsty, like one of them getting to the other only to find their leftover items? Or whatever you want honestly! Thx for the secret soulmates food! :p
I had an idea for this request but it would be too much to draw so I’m actually gonna try and do some writing instead. Sorry for those who don’t like reading. It’s kinda long.
Golden Light to Silver Shadows
Grian nervously stood before the Food Crew’s bakery entrance, clamping his sweaty hands on a present he had spent all day preparing for BigB. Turning the knob of the door and pushing it open activated an alarm system set up by Fwhip. A bell rang and a few note blocks could be heard. It was a charming little jingle to welcome customers. The bakery was cozy with cherry plank walls and coffee colored spruce floors. A few circle tables were sprinkled in the center of the room with booths lining the walls. Lanterns, succulents, and baskets of flowery bushes hung from the ceiling. BigB was sat behind the counter. He was examining the creases in the floorboards with his head resting on his hand. He had been daydreaming. BigB loved his bakery, but it was admittedly boring to wait for customers. The door jingle alerted him to Grian’s presence.
“Grian!” BigB lit up in excitement, his antennae wiggled with joy. The genuine excitement to see Grian was more than enough to make Grian’s face flush. “Hey, BigB. I uhhh… made something for you.”
Grian slid a bag of cookies across the counter with shaky hands. They were neatly wrapped in a shimmery clear bag, tightly fastened with a blue ribbon with gold accents. “This was my first time ever making cookies, so sorry if they’re bad. Maybe you can show me your secret recipe,” Grian laughed nervously.
BigB gleefully loosened the blue ribbon holding the bag shut, took a cookie, and ate it whole. It was crunchy and thin and….hollow(?)…they weren’t bad by any means. For Grian’s first time, BigB appreciated the love and effort he put in. He had waited all day for someone to show up to the bakery. And the fact that it was Grian made it even better. He didn’t want him to leave just yet.
“How about we make some cookies together! The cocoa beans should be ready in the greenhouse,” BigB suggested, gesturing to the entrance to the greenhouse just behind him.
“I’d love to!” Grian quickly replied. The word ‘together’ was enough.
After BigB stashed away the cookies for later in the top cabinet, he and Grian made their way to the back door to the greenhouse. Grian had to do an awkward shuffle around the counter to keep up. The greenhouse was gorgeous. Golden light shone through the semi transparent overhang and broke through the flowers and leaves. Parrots chirped and bees buzzed. Luscious plants swayed in the gentle breeze. Glow berry vines slung from the ceiling as axolotls and frogs popped out from the ponds, curious of the new visitor. Grian stared in awe. This was more of a massive nature preserve than any greenhouse he’s ever been in.
“Grian?” BigB broke Grian out of his trance. “The cocoa bean farm is over here.”
“Uh right,” Grian said, adjusting his glasses and wiping his mouth and chin with his coat sleeve (just to make sure he didn’t drool while distracted).
BigB led him to a cluster of jungle trees. They reached high, popping out the top of through the ceiling. Podzol and bamboo were dotted around in clumps. Just past the cocoa bean farm was the end of the greenhouse. Through the transparent walls could be a seen an expansive jungle forest, stretching well beyond the world borders. BigB pulled off a ready cocoa bean plant and inspected it for abnormalities. After checking that it was good, he held it out for Grian. “Why don’t you try to break this one open?”
“Uhh I dunno,” Grian held his hands up, unsure.
In that moment, Grian took a pause. Actually, the whole world felt in slow motion. Something unseen had disturbed the peace. His Watcher senses were tingling, so to speak. Something was about to happen….. Suddenly, as the world picked back up in speed, BigB’s calming smile was shot down with an excruciating pain all throughout his body; every muscle, every ligament, every organ, each and every follicle of hair. The cocoa bean plant dropped and exploded on impact with the earth. A jolt went up his spine and his legs went out on him. He tumbled to the ground. He had no process time to scream or cry out in pain. He just fell.
“BIGB!!!!” Grian shrieked, dropping to his knees to assist him just as fast as BigB fell. “B-BIGB WHAT HAPPENED ARE YOU OKAY??”
“I-I…I think I’m going…J-Jimmy…he-”BigB managed to get out with a weak shaky breath.
“BigB! BigB! Please I need you to stay with me BigB,” Grian frantically cradled BigB in his arms. He could feel tears welling up in his eyes. He checked chat…
…Jimmy had fallen to his death…
Oh, fucking of course, Grian thought. Grian hadn’t considered Jimmy being in control of BigB’s lives, but with that confirmation he’d might as well think of this as his final moments with his secret soulmate.
“Grian….” BigB mustered the strength to caress Grian’s cheek and wipe away a tear. “…it’s ok….i’ll be right back….it’s just one life….”
“BigB….” Grian quietly whined, taking BigB’s hand, keeping it held to his cheek. He felt it go cold and his arm become heavy. Grian saw the last of the light in BigB’s dark eyes fade as his body became limp. Grian pulled his lifeless corpse into one final hug. And as BigB dissipated into smoke and billowed away…..Grian was left alone.
All the light and magic that the greenhouse had greeted him with was gone. The birds went silent, the bees hid back into their hives. The trees and flowers went grey and the golden light became silver shadows. Silently, Grian collected BigB’s fallen items, keeping his head down to hide his tearful look. And as he slowly closed the chest he stored BigB’s items in, he heard voices in the distance. It was a collection of people, most notably Scott, Martyn, Fwhip, and Joel, with a tomato faced Jimmy stomping ahead of them.
“Jimmy!!! We’re sorry!! We didn’t think you’d miss the water!” Scott cackled as he tried to explain himself to Jimmy.
“It was bad maths!! Bad maths!!” Martyn pleaded with a giggle.
“We didn’t think you’d die!!” Scott added, trying to breathe through his laughter.
“IM NOT HAVING ANY OF IT!!!!” Jimmy snapped back at them. “PLAYING BUNGEE JUMP WITH FISHING RODS IS THE LAST THING WE SHOULD BE THINKING ABOUT DOING IN A PLACE LIKE THIS!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK IMMA TELL BIGB, ‘THAT IT WAS JUST A PRANK’!!??”
Jimmy stormed into the bakery, and as he slammed the door, Fwhip’s voice was cut off; “but it was just a prank-“
Grian could here Jimmy stomp about in the bakery. He must’ve been looking for BigB. Jimmy ran out into the greenhouse and froze to find Grian and the aftermath of the incident. Grian stood there with a clenched fist and a chest by his feet. He gave Jimmy a stone cold glare with his dark eyes. Jimmy flinched at the sight of his expression.
“I put BigB’s stuff in this chest,” Grian said almost robotically, pointing to the box.
Jimmy desperately wanted to apologize, but Grian looked like he would accept nothing; not even a notch apple. Grian stiffly walked past him.
“I’m sorry….about BigB…” Jimmy made an attempt at an apology, hoping that Grian could find it in him somewhere to forgive him. Grian paused.
“It wasn’t your fault, Tim….” Grian said without turning back to him. “It was their’s….”
Grian continued walking, leaving Jimmy to wallow. He made his way to the bakery and took a seat at one of the circle tables. The room felt cold and desolate compared to before. Like it was a completely different place that the greenhouse had spat him back out into. He shuffled his chair forward and laid his head down, waiting for BigB’s return.
I actually had a lot of fun writing this, even though I wouldn’t consider myself a very skilled writer(and there’s most definitely a lot of mistakes I made lol). I felt like it was easier to depict a full scene compared to a comic(which would’ve probably taken me weeks). So I’ll do more writing like this in the future.

Okay I’ve got a bunch of random spider facts for u (I am a humble collector of random spider facts). Idk how many of these u know already but hopefully u find some inspiration/spider motifs in them:
Some species of tarantulas keep frogs as pets.
Yellow garden spiders weave zig zags into their webs.
Of course there’s the red hourglass of the black widow (though some specimens have been shown to have the pattern repeated around the abdomen longitudinally (I know because my dad has one))
There’s also the violin shape of the brown recluse
Gladiator spiders weave webs into nets to throw at prey (they also have one massive pair of eyes surrounded by three smaller pairs and I think they look so cute)
Crab spiders (not to be confused with spider crabs) can look like various flowers like larkspur
Mirror spiders look like little disco balls
Diving bell/water spiders build nests, well, underwater using air bubbles
Jumping spiders have been known to wear water droplets on their heads (as well as just being the spiders imo)
Textile crafts are commonly associated with spiders due both to visual similarity and also Arachne
Like how human eyes glow red or cats eyes glow green when light is shone in them, spider eyes glow turquoise (very good thing to know when ur out camping in the woods)
Spider blood is also turquoise (for most species idk for all)
Jorōgumo is a spider yokai that can turn into a beautiful woman to lure men to their deaths and eat them (as well as being a real species of golden orb weaver spider)
Like scorpions, spiders glow under black light
Uhhhhh there are some species of fungi that can possess and kill spiders (like cordyceps) (tho idk if cordyceps is one of them). My favorite one is purpureocillium atypicola which turns its victims white and fuzzy-looking (if you ever saw those zombie spider clickbait photos from years ago)
Spiders georg
Wow, thanks so much for this list! I'll definitely use some of these hehe

Well we know that Valentino will go for round two after what happened in ep6 so prepare for the whole chain thing amplified. (Seriously out of the whole fetish thing they could have an way more interesting approach to visually convey this message- like sure let the golden chains on Sto/litz to symbolize the power inmbalence- but like in other instance I would have- for example, Alastor pulling a leash with an little bell thing on Husk to symbolize how he is little more than a pet to him- or the most OBVIOUS one being that with Angel and Val, instead of the red smoke turning onto chains have them become a spider-web. Because irony and shit)
God thats so much more creative and interesting. Al dangling a bell on Husk is embarrassing for him cause it’s so demeaning, like maybe bells on his ears or something? And you could use Val’s noxious smoke imagery again or syrup, not have to be so on the nose with the chains again.
The chains representing “abuse” are frictioning way too hard into fetish territory. I really hate that we see Stolas put Blitz in a collar and it’s supposed to be romantic (SIGH, this is where we’re going), and we see Ozzie have Fizz in cuffs, and use pet and leash imagery, and call him a frog (much tamer) but still weird for toad to be a hateful anti imp slur, and for the next episode to then show mammon put Fizz in cuffs…and the characters are tied up so often it’s insane.
Maybe the contradiction is the point but why did striker have to call fizz Ozzies purse dog it makes me feel so weird. Why does striker have to point out the things I’m trying to desensitise myself to u_u

I'm all for POC solitary but the simple truth is that the other nonblack WOC Disney Princesses are afforded more attention by Disney than Tiana. Aladdin has two sequels and a series. Pocahontas and Mulan both have two movies. The princess and the frog doesn't have a sequel (and it's not like it's a new movie like Moana! It's older thank Frozen, which has two movies and an actual section on disney plus dedicated to all the extra Frozen content. Also, Tangled also has a series despite being older than TPATF)
Tiana simply isn't getting enough attention.
Tiana has been ignored by Disney for ages and it is just so unfair. It’s clear at this point that they made her as a quota to make Black women shut up because they didn’t even put any heart in it. They made her the “Strong Black Woman” and had her overwork herself while giving her a pink-clad and feminine white blonde “princess” best friend. Then they turned her into a frog, made her literally only a human for the beginning and end of the movie. And THEN AND THEN RIGHT AFTER THAT they made a pretty delicate white blonde princess with shimmering golden magical hair in a typical fantasy fake-German setting, like I see what you did there Disney...just a huge slap in the face to Black girls feeling represented by Tiana that only served to remind us that Black women will never be worthy of the fairytale life to Disney’s eyes...they couldn’t even give us a genuine African/African-American fairytale...they forced Tiana’s story to be “realist”, set in the 1920s during segregation where racism was rife and she had to sit in the back of the bus, showing how Black girls can never be fairytale princesses, we can only struggle and suffer oppression. 
And then right after that made a genuine light-hearted and magical fairytale with a pretty girly white princess Rapunzel. And then they made Brave. And then they made Frozen. Even the other princesses of color got this, Pocahontas even got a whimsical romance and that is arguably even worse as they made her adultified/sexualized fall in love with a colonizing piece of shit, but back to Tiana...they never truly cared about her or her story or the Black girls with princess dreams that they claimed to represent...I mean for goodness sake her name was originally going to be “Maddy” and she was conceptualized as a chamber maid to a white Southern Belle(who eventually became her best friend in the final product...🫤). And I like Tiana, as well as Charlotte, as well as the movie on a whole, but umm... 
It shows that Disney does not care. Or at least didn’t care when they made it. The worst part is that they DID do Black girls right with Cinderella(1997), my all-time favorite movie, but it’s relatively obscure outside of the Black community. Cinderella was excellent. What’s stopping them from doing it again? Hopefully they’ll do right by us with the new The Little Mermaid movie, but I have my doubts already with Lin-Manuel Miranda and Aquafina being a part of it...and according to a friend of mine they didn’t even give Ariel a Black family and her prince also isn’t Black(I don’t think Disney has ever had a Black prince despite having three Black princesses 😭 ik we’re talking about misogynoir here but that’s still...well...not great...). But I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

Asterism Borealis: Chapter 1
How did I get into this situation?
Or, Sakari and Sonnet's misadventures to the Northern lands begins.
Warnings: Body Horror (Upcoming), TBA
Characters: Sakari (OC), Sonnet (Worldless OC), Styx (OC), Otis (OC)
"Are you sure that you know where you're going?" Sonnet asked, a bit confused.
Sakari has just arrived at the Town's main market, full of people trying to get everyone's attention in order to sell their goods. It was crowded, and pretty busy too, the sound of people shouting out their goods and the blending together of the crowd was somewhat disorienting for her, but she needed to find answers.
Answers on how to get Sonnet out of their prison.
In fact, Sonnet was there with her, stuck inside their own weapon. An absolutely massive scythe, pure white and glittering in the hot sunlight, with a cyan diamond-shape piece near the blade's base, and below the staff as well. It was a magnificent and somewhat terrifying weapon, although Sakari knew better about it's origins... and the fact that she managed to meet them in a yard sale, out of all the ways to find a weapon that had an eldritch being stuck inside of it.
"Not too sure, won't hurt to stick around here for a bit," she replied, mentally of course. "But then, it's hard to start, knowing that there's so many potential places to look for clues," Sonnet continued, "I'm not too sure where to even start with this, it's overwhelming." "I know, we just have to take it in baby steps," Sakari assured them, still focusing on the crowd ahead of her.
With a sigh, she looked around. There seemed to be several parties buying things, preparing to go on the next adventure. For some reason, her home country somehow turned into a rest stop for adventurers, not that she minded. Thankful, weapons are allowed here, although they must be covered with protective gear to avoid injuries, or must not be any type of firearm whatsoever. So she gets to carry Sonnet around as they browsed the myriad of items in each stall.
There were clothes, weapons, books, practically everything under the sun that is needed for trips. "Even if it's the modern day, people still love a good adventure", Sakari thought to herself. As she was walking, her eyes caught something interesting: A booth that seemed to be... an oracle stall? The person had dark purple hair, fading into a much brighter shade, and was wearing a royal purple top with black Bell bottoms, with a golden brown fanny pack filled with various goods. "Wait..." Sakari thought, "That's an alchemy station!"
Alchemy stations were pretty rare in her country, even if potions and such is always in demand due to parties needing a good way to heal quickly... or any other effect that could not be provided by modern science, including turning your opponent into a frog. In her distracted haze, she noticed something odd about the person: She doesn't remember humans' eye colours including a bright shade of purple... plus that golden necklace with a purple dragon emblem looks a bit... strange.
Then, she felt someone ram into her.
With a startled yelp, she tumbled to the floor, with Sonnet's scythe clattering to the ground. "Oh shoot!" A voice rang out, "Are you okay?" Sakari glanced to the source of the voice, and was staring right at a mousefolk, with a Boreal Elf standing next to them. There was also a lot of books scattered round them.. and her.
Realising what she has done, she scrambled to her feet, being careful as to not accidentally expose the fact that her legs aren't like a regular person, pointed and fading to white at the tips, and began picking up the book. "I'm so sorry," she lamented, "I was distracted and I didn't notice you and-".
"It's okay," the mousefolk said, their big, brown eyes lighting up in a warm smile, "Anyways, where are my manners, I'm Otis." The mousefolk then pointed to the elf, who Sakari noticed was unusually pale, even for a Boreal Elf, with dirty white hair and deep brown eyes, "And this is Styx."
"Greetings," Styx spoke with a bow, "Pleasure to meet you." Sakari stared at the two, before speaking, "Hello... my name is Sakari... Nice to meet you?"
Okay, she is absolutely horrendous at social interactions.
"So, Sakari," Styx continued, picking up the scythe from the floor, "You dropped this." "Oh, thank you," she chimed back, "I would have possibly forgotten to pick it up."
"Sakari, I would have yelled if you did leave without me," Sonnet popped in, completely unprompted. "Sorry, I don't know how to talk to people without the risk of accidentally exposing both of us!" Sakari murmured to Sonnet. "Oh, let me not distract you from the conversation going on, sorry," Sonnet continued, before "leaving."
"Nice scythe, where did you get it?" Styx then continued, handing her the scythe, "I always try to look for anyone willing to custom forge a scythe, but they're usually closed, don't accept those or they are filled with requests already!" Sakari thought for a moment, before speaking, "I got it in a yard sale."
It's the true though, she did literally found Sonnet's scythe in a yard sale. She also promptly blanked out due to Sonnet being so excited to talk to someone, but she usually leave that part out... usually.
Otis promptly burst into a fit of laughter, causing some of the other parties to stare at them in confusion. "Seriously," he blurted out, "A yard sale? Styx, had you ever tried that before?" "Come on, it's not my fault for wanting a custom made one!" Styx hollered at Otis, also laughing. Sakari could tell that the two had a close bond with each other, and frankly, it made her feel a bit more lonely... although it does remind her of her bond with Sonnet.
"Oh yes," Otis suddenly stated after the laughing fit, "I almost forgot my books." Sonnet quickly picked up the few books that were remaining on the floor, before giving them to the mousefolk. "Anyways, you seem like you don't have any party, or are you waiting for someone?" Styx then asked, arms folded. "I don't have a party... although I could join you if you want," she replied, "I mean... I want to go on an adventure, but I do not know where to start."
"That's alright, we have plenty of space," the elf chimed, "Plus, we're pretty experienced if we say so. Right Otis?" Otis gave Styx the most mischievous glance, before speaking, "Yep, unless you count that one time you accidentally scared your own Draught Unicorn and ended up running around in circles before I managed to stop it with my tiny self!"
Styx went quiet for a moment, chuckling to herself. "So, are you willing to join us?" She then continued, "We're heading North to find something incredibly intriguing, a legendary race of beings from Boreal Elves' folklore."
Sakari thought about it, she didn't know where to start with her exploration, and she might get some clues this way. Plus, it would be nice to experience new places, people and things for the first time. So she finally answered, "Yes, absolutely. I think I could start with this." "Me too," Sonnet chimed in, audible only to Sakari, "I think this would be nice."
With arms outstretched, Styx and Otis both cheered, "Welcome to the party, Sakari!"

Imagine Vicious 6 favorite Sanrio character
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
UH YES FREAKING PLEASE
sorry I went kinda crazy on this KJFGKDFAHHDKSJ
IT DIDN'T EVEN TAKE ME THAT LONG TO MAKE THESE ONLY LIKE- 1pm-10pm TODAY TO GET ALL THESE DONE I WAS FREAKING FOCUSED ON DRAWING THESE LMAO Bro I was so inspired THIS WAS SO FUN TO DRAW LOL
ANYWAY, VICIOUS 6 SANRIO BUDDIES???
Wild Knuckles - Bad Badtz-Maru & Pochacco
Old man is tasked with taking care of a dog and a penguin, dog is like a good doggo son to old man, meanwhile penguin is a troublemaker for old man. (something he's all too familiar dealing with skadjak.)
Badtz-Maru probably makes is a pain in the ass to look after him.
probably skateboarding everywhere inside his house, screeching his guitar just to be annoying
when he tries to give them food or sumthin, he probably does that spoon thing where you flick it and it just ZOOOOM DFSHFKHSDJ
Meanwhile Pochacco is just a good boy.
He plays outside, but he's polite about it. He has nice manners.
Oh and he takes naps on his couch.
Badtz also probably does a freaking kick-flip over the wall because he's bored and wants to go do something else, or to also just inconvenience Knuckles 💀, grampa YOINKS doggo from his nap (because obviously he can't just leave him at home by himself) then books it after him.
Belle Bottom - Kuromi & Chococat
They are the moment. Belle probably likes Kuromi because of her fashion sense and her slayness,
and Chococat, probably thought he was cute and now he's her little buddy. Probably just sits in her hair or on the desk when she's at the lair doing work n stuff.
Belle takes them shopping, because yes.
Jean Clawed - Keroppi & Minna No Tabo
He just accidentally got stuck with watching both of them
The little boy suddenly grabbed onto him and he was trying to shake him off his leg, because who the heck let a tiny kid into the lair. Then all of a sudden a frog fell from the top shelf so he caught him with his claw.
Keroppi didn't like seeing the giant claw hand all that much.
Especially being inside of it.
Minna no tabo just waddled into the base and thought he looked cool.
Jean is kinda freaking out when there's a frog boy crying freaking out and he's unsure what to do with the kid on his leg.
Svengeance - Pompompurin
COME ON- GOLDEN RETREIVER FOR GOLDEN RETIEVER BOY? AUDDHFSHJFHDK IT'S JUST TO GOOD
Sven absolutely loves him and will protect him and loves how squishy he is.
Pompom likes everyone, he sees big guy and sees big guy as friend, he also has similar colour hair! Besties!
Stronghold - Hangyodon
He likes how this guy looks, he thinks he looks funny so he grabbed him and put him on his shoulder.
Hangyodon was just like "k" he doesn't mind, he also thinks he looks cool.
Plus he also likes sitting on his shoulder while walking around.
Hangyodon and do or say anything and it'll probably make Stronghold laugh just because of how silly he looks to him.
Nunchuck - Corocorokuririn
Don't ask
She believes he will make great company as a evil companion in all her crimes.
He's just there.
EXTRA UNDER THE CUT!
Tumblr media
Valerie - My Melody & Hello Kitty
She would spoil them, she would take them everywhere. GIRLS' DAY OUTTT
She would TREAT THESE BABIES to EVERYTHING.
SLAY all DAY
Take them out for sweet treats and other stuff, like everythings on her.
ONCE MELODY AND KITTY MENTION KUROMI AND MIMMY YOU BET YOUR ASS SHE'S ALSO GOING TO INSIST THESE GIRLS BUY THINGS FOR THEM dskjdhfdsafgkd
She finds them SO CUTE AND PRECIOUS
Like she looks calm but on the inside she's dying from cuteness
Tumblr media
Alan - Marumofubiyori (Moppu)
Alan would've probably accidentally picked them up like "Ayo who tf is this and where did they even come from" and when Moppu suddenly just, falls asleep, Alan would probably just awkwardly start holding him unsure about what to do.
But he'd just sit down and let Moppu sleep, then after a while he'd also probably fall asleep as well, because he also probably needs a nap dshfsfafhdfkdj
They both snore lol
Tumblr media
Elliot - My Sweet Piano & Cinnamoroll
OH YEAH, BBY ELLIOT LOVES BABIES??
Bro would be dying and sobbing from how cute they are
Cinnamoroll probably just flies around his house while Piano puts flowers around to decorate.
I wouldn't be surprised if how Cinnamo and Elliot met is if Elliot was just washing dishes and Cinnamoroll just flew in through the window and into his face.
Claude - Tuxedo Sam Tako - Strawberry King Claudia - Pippo
