[maiko-coy]

yoooo! The au sounds lit! We need more angry Dogday.

Do you have more ideas about it? 👁️

Thank you, I'm glad you like it!!! I do have several ideas for the AU, especially around the plotline and a bit of the side drabbles.

Missed Chances AU is basically revolving around the smiling critters in the Playcare (however, its specifically focused on our dear Dogday and Catnap, of course), but I've separated it into three arcs. First arc is the pre-HOJ. This is more on to fill in the backstory of the critters and how they are trained to interact in the Playcare, as well as them finding their own independence and creating their own personalities. This won't be as long as the other two arcs but I do plan on doodling a few drabbles from this arc for fluff and character development. This arc builds up until the Hour of Joy event. Second arc is post-HOJ. This arc focuses more on the events after Hour of Joy and how the Critters survive through it. This arc specifically focuses on Dogday. There will be major angst here with almost zero-to-none comfort because I'm still closely following the canon events. So yes, Dogday will still end up how he is in the canon game. This arc builds up until the canon Chapter 3. Third arc is post-chapter 3. As y'all have seen in my previous post, this arc is where Player saves Dogday, Dogday being vengeful, and saving Catnap. I haven't thought most of this arc yet (considering that the chapters aren't done yet) but I have planned out at least how Dogday and Catnap interacts here, as well as Player, Kissy, and Poppy. Sorry people but I don't plan on making any ships in this AU, simply because I don't think they have the time to in this situation and that I have no idea how romance work LMAOAOAO but I dont mind if yall ship anyone, I'm just saying that I don't plan on drawing any lovey-doveys in here. I also plan on giving this AU two endings: True ending and Good ending, cuz I'm evil like that. Maybe I'll make non-canonical doodles of this au who knows

#maiko rustles #poppy playtime chapter 3 #poppy playtime au #Missed Chances AU #smiling critters #Dw I'll be drawing three arcs sometime #I made like a short snippet of a scene in post-chapter3 where Dogday may have snapped at Catnap and Player hehe

Leopardfoot!

Design Notes:

I havent done a design for this gal in AGES ... yet I tried to keep a lot of the ideas from my old one for this one!

I really liked the idea of her having tortie patches that mimic leopard spots which i had used in my old design, so I've done it again!

Character Bio:

Leopardfoot

Lesbian; demi-girl; she/they

Age as of 1st arc's beginning: 11 cycles, 8 moons; ~64 Hyrs

Age as of 1st arc's end: 13 cycles, 6 moons; 72 Hyrs

Title meaning: -foot = a cat who is light on their feet; a cat who is sure of themselves, and is confident in their actions

Warrior -> Elder of Thunder Order

Mother: Swiftbreeze

Father: Adderfang

Siblings: Patchpelt

Ex-Mate: Star Pineheart

Mate: Fogtalon

adoptive/step kit: Mousebite

Kits: Thistleclaw; Night; Mist; Birdflight (biologically Fogtalon and Sparrowpelt's)

Grandkits: Sky, Shimmer, Shine; Star Tigerclaw; Lynxstorm; Sandstorm; Flint; Poppy

Other notable kin: both the Tiger and Fire descendants are her kin, Fire not biologically tho.

Character Summary:

Leopardfoot was born to Adderfang and Swiftbreeze alongside her brother Patchpelt, unlike in canon she is born a few cycles (years) earlier than Bluefrost and Snowstorm.

Leopard grew up with a very heteronormative ideal of what her live should be as an adult, find a good strong tom as a mate, have kits, be the perfect Thunder Order molly. Because of this, when Star Pineheart showed an interest in her a few years into her adulthood, she agreed to become mates with him, he was the leader after all, it would be dumb to say no to such an honor.

Leopardfoot soon had a litter of kits with Pine, Night, Mist and Thistle. Just like in canon Pine ends up abandoning the Order and his family to live with humans and Leopard is left to raise her kits alone. Leopard was devastated by this, especially after Night and Mist passed due to kitten cough. Due to all of this Leopard grew a misplaced hatred for kittypets which she passed on to her son Thistleclaw, and later her grandson Tigerclaw.

After Pineheart left the Order however, Leopard began to get close to Fogtalon with fog helping her out with the kits. The two of them end up having a slowburn romance and end up becoming mates later in life!

Leopard is a sort of step parent to Mousebite and Birdflight was raised with both Fog and Leopard as his moms!

Leopard retired with Fogtalon and as an elder she spent a lot of time with her grandson Tiger, who would often bring her fresh prey and moss and chat with her about the day's happenings.

Leopard had an idea that her son Thistle was kind of an asshole, but she was never told the full truth of his actions that lead to his death. Nobody wanted to hurt her like that, especially since she was now relaxing and retired.

Leopard was devastated when Tiger was banished and for a long while she was in denial about him being evil. she started to act more old and confused after this too.

within the plot, Leopard is able to give the backstories and motives of characters like Tigerclaw to Fire, though she really only tells these things to him after Tiger's banishment when she became more confused.

...

[Image ID: a digital drawing of Leopardfoot from Warrior Cats. She is laying down with her right side showing and she has a slight frown. She is a slender, long furred, black and orange tortoiseshell molly with green eyes. She is mostly black, with orange patches on her shoulders to mid back, paws and cheeks that imitate leopard spots. She has brownish gradient under where her orange patches are, as well as on her tail./ End ID]

Just watched Disney's "Wish" and here is how I would rewrite Magnifico's character arc and the movie.

*Spoilers Ahead*

I understand that the audience and the movie wanted to make him a fun, campy villain as reminiscent of the older Disney villains, but what they established was the opposite. The movie is trying to do two things with him: being sympathetic and being outright evil. These two are difficult to combine, and it is clear that they didn't how to do that.

They not only gave him a tragic past that was never elaborated on, but his descent literally isn't himself, but of a magic evil book that makes your eyes green. They had such a clear setup to pursue why he would use it now of all times, but they didn't. People can be asshole narcissists without being evil. And it is clear he did care for Amaya, and the people of Rosas. So the movie needed to push him more and give him some struggle of morality. Unfortunately, this route will turn him into a tragic villain. If they wanted true camp, they needed to make him always evil, and was always using the wishes to power himself up. But that is for another day.

"HIS MOTIVATION"

One of the weaknesses of Maginifico is that he has no clear motivation. And if it he does, they don't line up with what his surroundings are. When the power of Star nearly made the wishes in his chamber fall and the city shake, he was pretty paranoid that something was effecting his magic. Or overpowering it. Then when his people started questioning PLUS demanding more wish ceremonies, you can see why he is so irritated by them and thinks they don't respect him. When they basically gamble away their wish VOLUNTARILY and don't actually respect him as a king, more like a wish granter. He even said something akin to, "that is all you ever think about is wish ceremonies?" And the crowd responds with yes.

To further show his descent more, there should be another scene where he is just alone, without Amaya there. And his eyes are involuntarily drawn to the magic book. Widened, and mesmerized, his irises turn green and suddenly he snaps out of it. Hinting that the book, despite behind the glass, can draw people towards it. Beckoning almost and using their most innate desires. Now lets see how his motivations tie into the infamous villain song.

"THIS IS THE THANKS I GET"

What I'd change would be the must needed tonal shift in the second half. The songs stays way too poppy and doesn't clearly identify his corruption. The moment when he nearly gives himself to the book. It seems so simple, but the this section of the song really shows his reluctance, and that he thinks what he is doing is a necessary evil.

"I didn't wanna do this I swore I'd never do this But I'm hypnotized by how these pages flip 'Cause I refuse to have my power stripped A potion, a spell, a summon, a curse? Anything to make that light reverse To this book, I don't wanna be tethered, but Desperate times call for desperate measures Brr, where was I? Oh, yeah"

Instead of the "brr, where was I?" line, I would make the music stop, and Amaya's voice could be heard from behind. Freezing Magnifico in his tracks. The green around him disappears, and it is only him and his Queen, surrounded by nothing but themselves. She sings softly to him. A reprise of "At All Cost."

His subconscious knows it's wrong to use the book (as seen in the first two lines of the bridge and the last two lines, offset 1), so it conjures up Amaya, who tries to remind him of his good. The song grows in distortion as Amaya begs, yet he feels pushed to this predicament.

Going back to his motivation, it is hinted he wants control because in his eyes, the only way to protect everyone is if he oversees everything. But that doesn't mean he thinks his powers would be stripped. I think this is the one line that gives hint at a motivation that really doesn't fit his character, " 'Cause I refuse to have my power stripped." There is no hint throughout the movie that his magic is weakening, and when the people demanded and disrespected him, he is more irritated than antagonized. Instead, it should be he is afraid he doesn't have enough power. He feels he isn't powerful enough to stop whatever magic is happening in the kingdom, and knows the book will grant him this to achieve what he wants. Which is to protect Rosas "at all cost."

The goal here is to make his worries justified but his actions an overreaction. And make it a descent into madness than suddenly becoming evil out of the blue.

MOTIVATION CONT.

Also, to up the stakes because there is literally none, for when Asha sneaks into his castle to retrieve Sabo's wish, she accidentally releases all of them, even the violent ones. So we can have a character parallel between Asha and Magnifico where they think they are both doing the right thing, and are using overreactions for issues that could've just been brought up peacefully.

During their truce, he sees just how dangerous people can be with violent wishes, and the will they have to do them. Slowly making him angrier and angrier and further justifying to himself what he he did. After they are forced to work together to bring back order, the evil book has already taken its toll, and he comes to the realization of why is he even doing this for the people who don't even respect the man that gave them a safe haven. That without him, it would have descended into chaos long ago. He starts to extract the wishes involuntarily out of people, trying to keep them safe from themselves. But as he does, he takes it into himself for safe-keeping and ends up voring them. Growing in madness and in power as a misplaced, extreme martyrdom.

Now for the ending. I would either have the evil dispelled from him, but he dies from the magic exhaustion. Or to go the route of the movie and have him trapped, while Amaya, instead of being nonchalant about her husband's predicament (which is weird in the movie since it is shown they love one another yet now she doesn't care?). Who thanks Asha and tells her she will find a way to free her husband and rid of the curse, even if the book says there is no way to reverse it.

Ditching the ranch hand in favor of higher ground; for the first time this arc the Angels were able to get a good look at their primary target, which also happened to be their only solid lead: The campgrounds tucked away on the plateau below.

Kate: 𝘏𝘶𝘩- I sort of thought it would be bigger. Vera: I checked the map and the biggest lot in the National Park only goes up to 50x50. And we're looking right at it. Poppy: It looks so small from up here. Kate: Everything looks small from here. That's why we have binoculars.

Poppy: You see anything? Kate: There doesn't seem to be any real security measures. No one looks like they're being held against their will. Vera: One could argue that the closest town being ten miles of desert away is a pretty effective deterrent for potential escapees.

Poppy: I can't believe we only brought one pair of binoculars. Kate: M said something about limited luggage space- 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨- xbox- 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨.

Poppy: Well what else do you see? Kate: Look 009, you want a turn? Be my guest.

Kate: It seems pretty cut and dry- a bunch of rich dumb idiots and a buttload of drugs in the desert, the perfect set up. Vera: But how are they transporting it all? If you can't get get a car up here then wouldn't that put a little dent in the supply line?

Poppy: You think it might have something to do with the League of Evil? The Brutalist maybe? I'm seeing a lot of designer furniture- and folding glass doors on the structure there. Vera: True, she did invent those. Kate: -but running drugs doesn't really seem like her usual MO.

Poppy: Maybe it's not the League at all then. Vera: Independent Evil. Much less dangerous, but unpredictable. Kate: The whole thing is so- Poppy: Weird. A Legacy sim. Kate: Like I said, rich dumb airheads.

Poppy: Funny, it's almost a the kind of place you'd expect to see-

Poppy: 𝙈𝙊𝙈?!

I know the authors wouldn’t do it because it requires effort but i think itd be extremely hilarious if they made a medicine cat that actually was prety shitty in morals and not murder(not fully immediately) but like one that’s actually does put their family/friends above everyone else

Like their bully is in the med den because of a broken leg but oops sorry i gave all my poppy seeds for your pain away to my brother who had a stomach ache, bummer 😕 anyways

What?? You were here before my brother came in with his problems?? Who cares

Like idk, just a very very biased medicine cat would be funny lmao, oh your clan is low on an herb that could stop the greencough outbreak?? Ohh but remember when your leader injured my mom, shit sucks i guess

Need more asshole medicine cats that aren’t jayfeather

medicalmalpracticepaw.......

i feel like people have been wanting an evil doctor for a while now and the fact we're on the eight arc and we still haven't gotten it is killing me! the drama of it all!!!

Oh my god, my boi!!!!

Scar did so fucking GOOD and I've never been prouder. People saw him as the weak link--said look at this man with no friends who's clumsy and silly. Gem literally went after him first when she was the boogeyman because she saw him as an easy kill.

Scar, the man who was disregarded. Even by the fandom. He was just a reason for Grian to hurt--someone for Grian to kill and cry over. Even the Watchers laughed at Scar, forcing him to make enemies. Forcing him to say no to Grian when he asked for an alliance.

"Can we still be friends?" Taunted the universe.

And Scar said "I'm not playing your stupid games."

Scar wore those poppies and lilacs on his cloak as a warning. Not to Grian, they had nothing to do with him. It was for us--for the Watchers. Scar was saying "I am not afraid of your narratives."

Scar was not honourable in the same way that Scott was. He was not driven to madness by loneliness like Pearl. He did not give in to the bloodlust and betrayal like Martyn.

He was fair; lawful evil in its purest form. Scar refused to kill Pearl because that felt lame. If he was going to win, it would be on his terms.

And he did it.

In the most beautiful character arc of the last five seasons, Scar DID IT.

And oh boy was it deserved.

#i am in awe #and am going insane all at once #you break free from that narrative--yes my boy!!!! #raven rants #secret life smp #secret life spoilers #goodtimeswithscar #trafficblr

[i-just-wanna-write-fanfic]

Ok I have an a idea for a long Wally x reader ask but if you don’t want to do it please say it. I know some people have done i but I really wanted to see your version of it:

Can I please get a Wally x reader where the reader has a secret identity as a supervillain who uses their powers to bully others into getting what they want, ruining events and claiming the neighbourhood as theirs. They don’t hurt anyone physically (emotionally yes). They are loud, bombastic and fun like a Disney villain. When they are not disguised, they are a nice, peaceful and helpful neighbour who always tries to lend a helping hand to throw others off their tracks. I would imagine the neighbours planning to get back at the supervillain not knowing that the culprit is just 2 feet besides them, comforting them while baking a pie. You can choose the superpower and name of the villain. I wanted the neighbour to be more new to the place and just help around until they heard of Wally Darling and gotten to know him. I would imagine them having cute moments where they are just having fun and some moments where Wally does talk about how bad the villain is and they actually feel sad about what they are doing but they know they can’t stop right now. While when they are in their supervillain disguise, they tend to ignore Wally to not make it worse for them. I could even see a moment where the supervillain just intimidates Julie into giving up some of her pies but Wally stands up for her and he get a dark glare back and just…….goes away for about a week. Wally does find out after a while (you can choose how he finds out). I’d imagine it would all lead to a confrontation as the supervillain captures Wally’s friends and traps them in one of their houses and “challenges” Wally to a fight and Wally just calls them out and says he wouldn’t want to be close to a bully and it would spark a redemption arc in the reader. I really hope this is ok.

ofc ofc! This sounds really fun!

NOTES/WARNINGS image not mine, and this was such a fun idea I had to do it!! :D

DARLING?

You had moved her about a month or two ago, and the stay has been nice! well, for you. You had recently let your ruder side shine through, but only in disguise, as to keep some kind of friendship and stay safe from being blamed for being.. well... a fucking asshole. The person you really didn't bother too much was Wally Darling, who was somehow the only person you really didn't want to harm, in any way. every time you were pulling off a super epik and evil plan (Making Poppy make you a pie), Wally would walk into Poppy's house, and you would just run. You loved to hang out with Wally, much more than the others, and when he'd bring up the really mean super villian of the town, you would just... cringe and look away...

"They are just so rude." "yea..."

"I think they ate my paint once." "I would not recommend eating paint."

You would only the smallest of things with him, and Home i guess, not wanting to inconvince him too much.

you never thought he'd find out it was you.

Now for your next amazing plan, kidnapping.

wow. so smart. now for the only for them to escape, Wally needs to come to your house and kiss fight you.

"No." "W-what?" "I don't wanna be around a bully like you." "..." "Shi-"

well. that was all it really took. You felt like shit after that, really. after that, your evile epik plans became. well. more chill, and you would have less and less evil plans. at one point your eivl lair became a bakery or something like that.

#anyway lmao #im so funny #wally darling #wally darling x reader

Alright, so, I noticed I'm not the only one who wants Velvet to apologize, because she's not that bad, alright?

She is NOT evil! She is just WILDELY MISUNDERSTOOD!

Anyway, I tried to handle her character, hope it came out well

Redemption arc

"What's with her?" Floyd asked, gesturing towards the green-haired girl slumped over the jail's wall.

Veneer looked at her and shrugged, smiling slightly. "It's nothing," he said simply. "She thinks orange isn't her color."

Viva and Poppy exchanged glances upon hearing Veneer's words, and they took a step closer, Viva clearing her throat to get some attention.

"I don't know who told you this, but orange looks fantastamazing on you."

Poppy nodded. "Yeah, it really suits you."

Velvet rolled her eyes. "Yeah, whatever."

Her twin sighed, then turned to the others with an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry about her, she's just feeling…off, you know?"

"It's alright, really," Floyd said. "She can be a lot sometimes."

"Hey." Veneer's voice came out as a whisper, his tone carrying a hint of warning only Branch seemed to notice, given the way he looked terrified from the former-pop star for a second, before he continued, his tone softer, "I know she can be a lot, but she's my sister, and I know her more than anybody else, so trust me when I tell you that she is sorry."

Floyd was speechless. Velvet? Sorry? Now, these two words never went together in one sentence, unless it was negative. He wouldn't lie, he didn't hate her, not entirely. Maybe he was just…mad? He didn't know for sure. He peeked behind Veneer, hoping to catch a glimpse of the boy's twin, and he did.

Velvet seemed distressed, to say the least. Her arms were crossed, and her finger tapped against her arm in a pattern he couldn't quite pick on, and he could swear she looked slightly guilty for a split second, before she finally noticed his gaze, and her expression shifted to annoyance.

"What are you looking at, Floyd?"

The red-haired troll froze. "N-Nothing!"

Did she just call him by his name?

"That's what I thought," Velvet replied coldly.

"So, how have you been, Veneer?" Branch interjected, sensing the air growing tense.

"Oh, yeah, everything's been good," Veneer replied, beaming. "The food is edible, we're not getting as much hate as we used to, and…i feel real."

"I'm really happy for you, Ven."

"Thanks, Flo."

"Wow," Branch said skeptically, not bothering to hide his smile. "Nicknames already?"

His older brother looked at him and ruffled his hair. However, Branch didn't shove his hands away, instead, he chuckled.

"I'll have you know, B, me and Veneer actually used to talk a lot during those two months."

"Yeah!" the boy nodded. "We talked about, like, everything!" He approached the glass barrier between him and the trolls, lowering his voice as he said, "Especially about Velvet's bad hairstyles."

Everyone burst into laughter, except, of course, the troubled Mount Rageon in the background, who just groaned, a clear sign of a soon-to-come breakdown.

Everyone seemed to have missed her distress. How could they notice? Why would they? It's not like they cared about her, did they? No, of course not. She wasn't the kindest person, she knew that, but she was sorry, as much as she hated to admit it. The more time she spent trapped between these walls, her freedom taken from her, made her realize just how cruel she was with the Pop troll.

She didn't mean it. Okay, maybe she did a little bit. But it did trouble her at times when she went to bed at the end of the day. People only saw her as the meanie, arrogant, spoiled girl ever since first grade. Thinking about it, she never had real friends, and neither did her brother, did they? So how did he turn out like this, when she turned out like…this? She was just being a good older sister. She just wanted Veneer to have friends, something she never grew up with, nor even knew how it felt.

All Velvet wanted was someone who can talk to her without being worried about her reactions. Someone who wouldn't judge her silly dances. Someone who would listen to her, understand her.

She looked up, and, she's been bossing that person around. She hasn't been the sister he deserves, yet he never stopped loving her. What did she do to deserve him? Nothing. And how did she repay him? She got them both in prison. Both of them.

"I'm sorry."

All heads turned towards Velvet.

"I'm sorry, alright?" she repated, unsure of what else to say. She turned to her brother, who nodded, encouraging her to go on.

"Look, Floyd," she started. "I know you'll probably never forgive me, and I don't blame you, but just know that I'm sorry, okay?"

The room went silent. Velvet was actually apologizing?

"It's okay-"

Velvet interrupted him, defending herself, "Besides, you should know how fame can make you do stupid things, you're famous."

Floyd looked at the trio behind him. Viva had a confused yet suspicious expression, Poppy had a 'I believe everyone can change' smile, while Branch seemed unsure of what to do.

The troll took a step forward, "I understand-"

But again, he was interrupted by the female twin. "I mean, don't tell me you didn't do anything stupid before."

Branch. That's the first thing that crossed Floyd's mind when the words escaped her lips. Stupid decisions. He was no new to the word. Branch had crossed his mind every. Single. Day. Yet he never showed up. He did do something stupid, something he couldn't forgive himself for doing, even if it seemed like the victim in this scenario was surprisingly welcoming, as if he's been waiting his entire life for this moment. And unknown to Floyd, he has.

"I'm not mad, Velvet," Floyd finally managed to say. "And…i really appreciate your apology."

Velvet shot a glance to her brother, whose smile widened as he gave her a thumbs up, mouthing a sincere 'I'm proud of you'.

"So, uh…where are the rest? John Dory? Spruce? Clay?" She asked hesitantly, trying to get the attention away from herself for a while.

Floyd smiled. "Oh, John Dory and Clay are in the book club, and Bruce is in Vacay Island."

"Bruce?"

"How do you know their names?" Branch cut in, his tone gentle and somehow demanding.

"I just do-"

"It's not like Floyd will just give our names," he pointed out, and his brother nodded.

Veneer leaned forward. "She's a big fan of Brozone!"

His twin's eyes widened. "I am not-"

"She knows all the songs!"

"She does?! We too!" the Pop sisters exclaimed in unison, jumping up and down.

"I do NOT-"

"We know, like, every song they've ever sung!" Viva said excitedly. "We have all of them!"

"We can throw a party when you guys get out!" Poppy added.

"And we'll get Brozone to sing!"

"And invite Brandy! And Bruce Jr.! And-"

"Poppy!" the dark-haired troll interjected gently, taking his girlfriend's hand in his.

Poppy took a deep breath, looked into her boyfriend's eyes, then turned to face the twins, saying softly, "We can't wait for you guys to get out."

"Yeah…whatever," Velvet stammered, struggling to hide the blush that painted her cheeks.

"Time's out!"

Veneer, Floyd, and the pink duo pouted, staring at the source of the sound with disappointment. It was time for another temporary goodbye, much to everyone's, silently including Velvet's, dismay. However, just as they were about to make their way out, the Putt-Putt trolls leader stopped in her tracks and rushed to Velvet, shoving an almost-microscopic piece of paper into her pocket without a word, before rejoining the others.

—------------

"What is that?" Veneer asked eagerly, reaching for the tiny piece of paper in his sister's hand.

She quickly crumbled it, trying to suppress a smile. "It's nothing!"

The boy chuckled. "If you say so, Vel,"

Velvet nudged him, returning the piece of paper back in her pocket.

—------------

'Dear Velvet, I didn't want to admit it back there but your hair looks so fantastamazing. Maybe we can have a sleepover when you're out? We'll spend the whole night braiding each other's hair. Can't wait to visit you again.

Love, Viva and Poppy'

you know that video GD colon put out about how bad generation retro is? what you’re about to read is about on the same league as that.

of all the object show episodes i’ve watched, III 14 was the first that i walked away from thinking “wow! that was shit!” it had so many of the same pitfalls as the previous III episodes did, but somehow even worse (incredible feat, i must say). but i’ll only cover my three biggest problems. starting with…

springy. not unlike how toppinbot describes noisette, springy is beyond annoying. their voice makes my toes curl, and i die a little on the inside whenever they’re on screen. they also apparently had a “haha im evil” twist, which i saw coming a mile away, even without my glasses on. also, they look like a garten of banban/poppy playtime character, just thought i’d point that out.

melodrama. the latter half of the episode was just melodrama. and i mean JUST melodrama. nothing else besides characters just going boohoo woe is me ówò ;-; and half of it is relating to conflicts and arcs in II2 that have already concluded. it honestly just feels like the guys at animationepic only shoehorned so many II2 references into III so they can go “see? we haven’t forgotten about II2!!” as if they haven’t been DISREGARDING established lore from that season, implying it isn’t canon anymore, coupled with the fact that III only is the way it is because AE decided that II2 was “getting too dawk and scawy ;-; uwu…..” like oh yeah THAT business decision wasn’t at all made for marketing reasons. /s

and of course, i’m saving the best/worst for last.

cabby and bot. both of these characters are known for being handled TERRIBLY. for cabby, she’s mentally disabled (my first guess was some form of memory loss, but i honestly don’t feel like double-checking) but is constantly mistreated by writers and characters for her aid, being the files. and for bot, they had a trans-allegory arc stemming from not wanting to just be bow, but the whole reason they exist at all is because AE wanted bow in III, and their personality is basically just bow’s with some sliders moved ever so slightly. (the cabby problem is more relevant here, but you get the idea) and in III 14, the two were paired up for the challenge. just the two of them, they could make it if they tried, BUT THE WRITERS DIDN’T!! instead they figured out some voodoo magic buffoonery that helped them pull off the unthinkable! because during a scene where cabby requests that bot tells her a little about themself to write down in their file, BOT STARTS MAKING UP RIDICULOUS LIES. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, ANIMATIONEPIC, CUT IT OUT WITH THE ABLEISM, WILL YA?! and during disability pride month of all times, too. what were you THINKING?!

so yeah. a fan-favorite character just tried to sabotage a mentally disabled woman’s aid for shits and giggles.

TL;DR, III 14 sucked ass. the entire 27-or-so-minute runtime was used for nothing but melodrama, cabby mistreatment, character assassination, and mascot horror cliches. (boooo springy booooooo booooo get off the stage boooo fuzz the cat did it better)

that’s just my opinion, though. feel free to share how you felt. i’m gonna go watch TPOT 6.

Lily gloats about being superior to Poppy.

So to knock her off her high gardevoir- I mean horse. Here’s a list of stuff off the top of my head Lily has done/hasn’t answered when brought up

The money (about $2,800 iirc) she raised for MO’s immigration and where they are in the process

Defend a Nazi, cause said nazi defended her

Defended Sophie Labelle and hasn’t commented on how Sophie used irl references of actual children in less than favorable poses

Had an actual predator as a follower

Claimed that her sibling, Courtney, should’ve told someone about the abuse she endured. Courtney was 5-6 at that time. She blamed a literal child.

Abused her own sibling. Yet that’s “none of our business”

Made a comic about said abuse and even took the arc out when Courtney started talking

Played a mod, which isn’t bad. Until her own chat pointed that mod had incest in it.

Oh yeah she outed a predator…. While people were actually gathering evidence and building a case on said predator. Only for Lily’s fat mouth to open, basically warning Toon and toon got away.

Called a Jewish Non Binary creator who is married to a Black Man. A Nazi. Why? Cause Sugar made a pacifist protagonists and has a theme of forgiveness.

I could go on but yeah

i mean... as far i'm concerned, anything to do with the sankaku accounts (and other things i found out since then that i can't discuss) already makes LO so much worse that P ever was. for as much harm P has done, and i'm sure there's a lot about her that we have yet to find out, at least she wasn't happily looking and supporting images created with the suffering and trauma of irl children. at least P didn't look at those images, knew for a fact that someone abused a child in order to make it, and decided that it was okay to use as porn. for all we know, the people she preyed upon were still all adults, which still doesn't make it okay by any means, but they weren't 15 year old children like how ginger was when LO groomed her. that to me is a form of evil that is extremely hard to compete with. once the sankaku accounts were introduced it was over, LO was always going to win the award to the worst person in any room.

Welcome back River 💗 Hope your doing ok and drinking plenty of water ^^

I really enjoyed reading your new fics ; I especially enjoyed reading yandere Luffy and Sanji (you got me shipping them XD ) and the way Koby had me convinced that pirate love river did set up captain starfish demise (seriously love reading that one )

I really enjoyed reading your aus fic from crossing to zoo (I also enjoyed reading your platonic fic )

yandere Sabo made me laugh poor boy can’t catch a break hahah 10/10 you did an amazing job writing him , I can imagine him being like that if he was a yandere ^_^

hope your doing ok 💗

Hey! It’s nice to get a message in my inbox from ya and sorry that I haven’t been talking to you in our DM’s as I’ve been dealing with some personal issues that have brought up a lot of anxiety for me about random shit but don’t worry! I’m 100% safe!

There’s no need to worry at all and everything is going to be absolutely fine with me! And that isn’t me being like that sweaty smiling character who keeps glancing behind them in a horror movie while trying to convince everyone that there’s no monster like genuinely, I’m gonna be fine

Things are just stressful right now in all honesty and I’d rather not get into it too much as it’s my private life

I’m glad that you enjoyed my new stories as well! I actually felt really insecure about a lot of them like the Koby one especially as I felt like a mischaracterized him big time to the point where I was just like “Fuck, this is awful…”

I am glad to hear that it was actually pretty good though and I’m also happy to hear that that I’ve turned you into a LuSan shipper as it’s one of my favorite ships in One Piece in all honesty! Like one of my many fankids is actually their kid with Sanji being her Mom

Also I am glad that you liked the platonic fic as well because G8 is one of my comfort arcs like I got sick with a sore throat a few days ago and just wound up on my side watching my favorite episode from it because the characters really make me feel safe and comforted

So I decided to try share that with you all too in the form of a Familial Yandere Fanfic about them! I hope that it did manage to spark a little bit of that same energy as I thought that the ending alongside the rescue from those evil NPC’s was very sweet if not scary in a Yandere sense

I very much struggled with the Sabo story too like I was half tempted to be like “Fuck, I can’t do this…” but then came that idea and all turned out okay!

Plus I can see Sabo going through like twenty stress balls in a day if he’s fighting his Yandere urges like the people around him are just staring wide eyed as he pops another one, grabs a new one, and then pops that one like two squeezes later

Also I am trying to drink a lot of water so thank you so much for reminding me! If you would like to talk more though then I think some of my anxiety is wearing off a little and I do have this Poppy Playtime x One Piece thing that I can tell you about in DM’s if you’d like!

Anywho, I’m gonna get back to trying to wind down with some Animal Crossing but I am glad to see that you still like my stories! And sorry for not talking to you much in DM’s

And for anyone else whose reading this part then feel free to send me a message in DM’s if you’d like to chat or listen to me ramble endlessly about my many OC’s

Or send me a message for the Discord Link and I’ll send you one back to join! But remember! No minors allowed!!

Due to popular demand: the "Everyone is forever tied to their story" theory!

My theory goes like this:

In Ever After there's this magic, let's call it Destiny Magic, that is responsible for the retelling of the fairytale stories, and it's devided between the character that plays a role in the story and the Storybook of Legends.

The book is in some way capable of storing the magic and releasing it to each student once they sign.

I think joining the magic from the book with the magic from the person makes the stories happen - we know the book gave Raven access to her full powers and made her evil, just like a higher yeah witch that is mentioned in the book The Storybook of Legends. Still, in some way it could be controlled (some examples are Raven becoming good again, Red and Wolf's whole romance, the slight tweaking of the story so the Candy Witch wouldn't die, and of course the Evil Queen's rebellion after poisoning Snow White)

But when Raven destroyed the book that magic became harder to control and instead of following the direct path it had been doing for years it became unpredictable.

Now here are the clues I used for my theory:

Darling and Apple

Apple's whole journey during Dragon Games is more or less what Snow White goes through on her story:

She gets into a confrontation with the Evil Queen, which results on her getting banished from her castle/school and seeks refuge in the forest with the help of the forest creatures. After learning she survives, the Evil Queen tries to poison her with an Apple (don't take my word as fact but I think in some versions she sends a bird instead of going herself, so we have more parallels there). Here is where Snow White begins her eternal sleep until the Prince Charming awakens her.

Sidenote: in the Brothers Grimm version Snow White chokes on an actual piece of the apple, just like Apple does in Dragon Games.

So yeah, even if their stories start differently it's pretty clear that this was meant to be a recreation of the original Snow White.

Daring and Rosabella

Another obvious parallel; Daring's whole arc is learning that external beauty isn't everything with the help of Rosabella.

I won't make a direct comparison since with these two is mostly about the morals of the The Beauty and the Beast story, but I'll mention that both started with the Beast getting turned into a beast by a magical being wanting to teach them a lesson; the rest is pretty self-explanatory.

Justine

Since she was first introduced during Dragon Games there isn't much information about her, but I noticed that in the webisode Moonlight Mystery her sleepdancing is treated as if it was a recent thing, which I want to believe might be because of the Destiny Magic making her dance all night like in her story.

There's also other points in eah where the Destiny Magic appears, these don't happen after Way Too Wonderland so I only count them as evidence that, at least at some point, the characters were tied to their stories.

Holly and Poppy

The book Truth or Hair was released after WTW but it doesn't give any indication of actually following the movie storyline so I'll be counting as part of the pre-WTW evidence.

In this book, Holly's hair starts to get shorter and shorter and Poppy's doesn't stop growing and has returned to her natural color. They (and I) believe this is because of the Destiny Magic.

Cerise, Cedar and Daring

In the book A Wonderlandiful World all the characters except the wonderlandians get turned into objects or animals that resemble their name or have some significance in their story.

I want to focus particularly on these three because I think there's more than just pure coincidence in their transformations.

Cedar turns into a real girl, it's kinda obvious considering her story but I'd like to believe this also proves that the magic inside of her turned Cedar into a real girl because that's her happily ever after. They could have chosen to turn Cedar into an inanimate object, a literal puppet, like they did with other students like Apple or Ashlynn, but instead she became a real girl like in her story.

In Daring's case, he turned into a monkey-like beast. This can be a cleae foreshadowing of his actual destiny as the next Beast.

In this book Cerise gets turned into a small wolf, I think the writers wanted to hint to the idea of Cerise actually being the next Big Bad Wolf and I wish we could've seen more of it.

Duchess

When she was a kid, her swan transformation started appearing; instead of being cursed by a wizard, the transformation appeared randomly - maybe this also has to do with the Destiny Magic.

I still think they can controll this magic, like the twins did in Truth or Hair or even Briar and Faybelle during the dream secuence of Epic Winter; it'd just take more willpower.

The Burning God by R.F. Kuang

This is the third and final book of the poppy war series, and I cannot believe that I am finally done with it. It surely was an intense journey but I really enjoyed my time with these books. As usual with book reviews of sequels I don't feel like writing much about the actual plot because I don't want to spoil the whole story to people who might have not read the other books yet. For this reason I will focus a bit more on my reading experience with this book. This time I mostly read it with the audibook and only read a few chapters on my physical copy. I have been crocheting a lot and the audiobook of this novel was a great companion. Overall I enjoyed the book and the series as a whole, I would be lying if I said it's perfect. Don't get me wrong it's a great book series but there's a few elements that felt a bit repetitive to me (more in the spoilery section under the cut). I still don't know how I feel about the ending, it definitely makes sense and it works, but in my head it could have been different (again more in the spoilery section). But I understand why the author went with this option, and how my dream ending was a bit inplausible. As I have said in the reviews of the other novels of this book series the strongest point of this fantasy is its worldbuilding which is extremely layered and well structured. It's always very believable, and the author did a great job with a portrayal of war that is everything but glorified. War in these books is brutal, devastating and hopeless, which is refreshing compared to a lot of fantasy books in which war is usually this very epic battle between good and evil (don't get me wrong I do like lots of those fantasy too, but it's nice to have something different on my shelves that did an amazing job with these themes). I also particularly appreacited the fact that my edition ended with an additional chapter/short story from the perspective of Nezha, it was a lovely choice to add it. Overall I really recommend this book series, and if the size of the books intimidates you the audiobook are a very good opiton as well.

(more thoughts in the spoilery section below)

This section contains spoilers

The one thing I didn't like about this series is that there's a couple of elements that feel a bit repetitive in the plot. Rin fully embraces one side, gives her everything and believes to it blindly, untily she figures out how corrupt that side is and switches and starts the circle all over again. It's good to create this feeling that all sides in a war can be corrupted, and that people in power will try their everything to gain more power no matter what the cost, but after a while it felt a bit repetitive. I feel like Rin's character seems to never grow up a lot in this regard. The other element that felt incredibly repetitive is how every single time that Rin finds herfself face to face with whoever is her opponent at that time she takes so much time to strike and lets them talk eccessively. For the way the character is built I would find it more plausible for her to shoot first and ask questions later, I don't know if it makes sense. She is so resolute to kill whoever her enemy is and when she can she usually ends up letting them go or waste unnecessary time. One thing that weirded me out a bit was how quickly they got rid of the trifecta, because for some reason I expected it to be a bigger plot point, but honestly after it happened I didn't really asked myself too many questions. The one thing I am still questioning myself about is the ending. As I mentioned above I still don't know how I feel about it, and I personally would have preferred something a bit more drastic. Again the real ending makes sense and it works well with the story, but I was lowkey hoping Rin would go full corruption arc, completly embrace the phoenix and burn everything.
