3 for the holiday fic stuff? Any characters you wanna use is fine :3

It had been Belle's idea. Something her family used to do when the roads were buried under snow and the award money never came.

In the castle, though, it was simply convenient. Belle had gathered everyone in the ballroom, which was still a mess in preparation for their usual, ostentatious Christmas gala. The tree sat empty, and the floor was littered with loose pine needles and golden glitter. Dusty boxes of ornaments and candles were piled anywhere there was room, in some method of "organization" that only made sense to Angelique. Belle made a seat for herself atop an old cedar trunk, sending another puff of dust onto the once-polished floor. She barely suppressed a giggle at the way Cogsworth's nose scrunched up.

The names were shuffled in an empty box for the garland, scraps of tinsel and evergreen tossed with them. Everyone walked out with a folded scrap of paper and the promise that someone had theirs in turn.

Everyone except Fife.

He hadn't come to the ballroom. In fact, Madame de Garderobe could not recall the last time she saw the boy at all.

"We should do something for him."

Her husband glanced up to her with a blink, as if he hadn't seen her at all. His pen had stilled so abruptly that a blot of ink bled into the page. A soft smile graced her face. "Apologies, mi amore, I did not mean to interrupt you."

In an instant, and for no discernable reason, Cadenza suddenly noticed the growing dot of ink beneath his hand. He frantically tried to smudge it out with his thumb, which only made the mess worse. His face fell into his hands. "Yes, mi stella?"

Garderobe pulled a handkerchief from his coat pocket to dry the black stain now on his cheek. With a cheeky grin, she whispered, "My sincerest apologies for disrupting a genius at work."

He crumpled up the paper with a huff. "Nonsense, all I've written is nonsense!"

"I'm sure that's not true."

"How am I supposed to appeal to the prince? He has been famously been difficult all his life, and if that wasn't challenging enough, now he's a different man entirely!"

"And I'm certain the most talented composer in all of Europe can make something perfect for him."

Cadenza tossed the paper ball into a corner, the newest addition to a white, crinkly mountain of ideas that would certainly be brilliant to anyone else. But not Cadenza. Temperamental, perfectionist Cadenza with too many ideas and too little patience.

Garderobe chuckled more as she leaned down to kiss his cheek. "Now that I have your attention, I have a little request. The little flautist, we should do something for him."

"Mi amore, we barely know him!"

"But we do!" she insisted brightly. "We share an art, darling; that is more than enough!"

Cadenza shook his head. "Oh, if you insist."

So their search began. Cadenza asked as much of the staff as he could, but not even Lumiere knew a thing about the boy.

"He is— Well, you know, he keeps to himself."

"He rarely spoke to anyone but the Maestro. Quite flighty, as it were."

"He's an odd little tyke. I've tried talking to him some, but he always avoids us."

None of it sat well with the diva. Especially when she knew—or rather, had known—Maestro Forte many years ago. He had always been a bitter, reclusive man, and she could not bear to see sweet Fife become the same.

It didn't matter that she didn't know him. Madame de Garderobe had never been the type for small things. On the stage and in her behind-the-scenes life, she would love with her whole heart, sing until her throat was raw, throw herself into anything if passion swayed her so.

And suddenly, she knew what to do.

"Mi amore, what was the name of that carpenter in Villeneuve?"

"Firmin, I believe."

"Thank you, dear!"

Cadenza shook his head as she disappeared out the door, her thick skirts following a few seconds later. There was no use arguing with his wife when she set her mind to something, but that was also one of the things he loved about her.

She poked her head back into the room. "And the seamstress?"

"I don't know," he chuckled. "Why don't you ask Belle?"

"That's brilliant! Thank you, love!"

She was gone again before he could answer, and thus Cadenza remained tucked away with only his harpsichord as company. Hours slipped between the keys as he wrote and rewrote and wrote and rewrote... His hands seemed to move on their own as his mind followed the road through the forest, all but invisible beneath the snow. He thought of Garderobe in Villeneuve, shining like a Christmas star in all her jewels and silks and beauty. And above all else... her joy.

Cadenza looked back to his sheet music with a smile. He had nothing to worry about. Tomorrow, the gifts would be exchanged, and there would be laughter in the ballroom, and none of his stresses mattered because there would be joy.

#tic tocs #tic fics #beauty and the beast #fife #madame garderobe #cadenza #sorry anon you said any characters and I truly went for some weird picks #but I love these three I think they should interact (she says about characters that weren't even in the same movie as each other) #I know I didn't cover the actual gifts #but this feels like a good stopping point for smth that already turned out kinda long and rambly #if anyone wants the gift exchange as a part two ask in the tags! #(mostly I just wanted to make sure I could get this out before Christmas)

"I ship like almost everyone with Garderobe"

SHARE!!

i mean. she's hot, right? we're all in agreement that she's hot.

adam had a boyhood crush on her when he was like 11 and fliers announcing her latest tours would arrive in the mail. lumiere would complain when his music magazines got swept away by mysterious little hands and would only crop up later with the good pages ripped out

belle has a little fluttery-heart moment when she actually comes to terms with the fact that the wardrobe that's seen her getting undressed for at least a year and a half is The Greatest Singer of Her Generation. like how would you feel if your closet suddenly came out and casually mentioned she's Florence and the Machine. Would that make you happy or would you be unable to maintain eye contact for a while

congratulations! celine dion has seen you putting your bra on backwards. why are you acting like this isn't wondrous news

mrs potts and garderobe? ooh baby that sings. hot italian romance vs prim-and-proper austen level courtship hijinks. i think this can only go well

cuisinier is actually a super huge opera fan!! he's so happy to finally be able to pull himself out of that kitchen (he never wants to see that kitchen again) and go up and shake the great diva's hand. they sing a duet from the mariage of figaro together and collaborate on the first Entirely Sung Through Cookbook™

listen. listen. i'm not saying all europeans are hot feisty little devils who just love to make out behind curtains, but what I am saying is there's a moment when garderobe and lumiere lock eyes on a certain debauched drunken night and there is. shall we say. a Frisson™

cogsworth is too gay to be involved in any of this (i mean come on now really) but i would pay good money to read the love potion fic where cogsrobe is a temporary reality and we're all blissfully living in it

listen. listen. i like beautiful ladies. i will not fuss if you put garderobe and plumette in a room together. i will not fuss if there are small soft kisses. i will not fuss if the kisses turn into something softer, gentler, wilder. i might pass out though

i have nothing to say about chapeau + garderobe as a pairing besides that I think she could pick him and carry him bridal-style over the threshold while wedding bells chime

garderenza we already know my thoughts on. my thoughts are that i'm in love with it and stanley tucci gets my pension

#beauty and the beast #madame de garderobe #garderobe #batb 2017 #addl thoughts for those bastards (affectionate) that read the tags: #maurice + garderobe? not the best combination but it's kinda like peanut butter and ice cream! maybe! if youre in the mood! #gaston + garderobe? no no no she should kill him. just sit on him while wearing a full petticoat and watch him choke to death on satin #garderobe + that lady selling ten yards in the village? sure! why not! who cares! garderobe love forever!! #batb headcanon #asks

[batbobsession]

I find myself thinking that it would be great if we had a baroque-style classical music fandom with little gilded edges and castles and everything...

...and then I remember that the Beauty and the Beast fandom is literally that and we have three straight-up musicians to write fics and theories about (Chapeau, Cadenza, Garderobe) and a half (because it's basically been accepted in fanon that Lumiere plays the accordion)

and how I have literally structured Chapeau's playing style around Antonio Vivaldi and Cadenza's playing style around Domenico Scarlatti/Frederic Chopin and I've written several fics that revolve around those characters playing music:

Shifting

Wooden

Nocturne

A Shadow's Tune

Opera

A Rare Gift Indeed

and I fall back on that from time to time and just remember yep it's me. I'm the music nerd that turned Chateau Villeneuve into a mini prodigy hall where music thrives despite an eternal winter and a complete lack of hands

Infodump about batb to me, I don't care how long, how niche, I want to hear all of it

You shouldn't have told me this- now I'm never gonna shut up-

Uhh I'm going to talk about the 2017 movie and all the things I like about it because I'm feeling positive!

Lefou (I love canon gays)

JOSH GAD IS PERFECTION. He knew exactly what he was doing and really made Lefou his own! His interactions with Luke Evans (Gaston) are so fun and the best part? He acts like a real human, not a punching bag for Gaston! They knew it wouldn't translate well in live action! Good on them! Not to mention Josh Gad's wonderful voice! Also, LOOK HOW CUTE??

Garderobe (Madame de la Grande Bouche) and Cadenza

Audra Mcdonald has a HEAVENLY voice. I'm not a fan of her enchanted object design, but she has a GORGEOUS human design! I love Cadenza being Madame's accompanist and husband! He loves her so much, and he's smiling in EVERY HAPPY SCENE WITH HER. They're just such a nice couple fr

Plumette (and Lumiere)

Ok I HATE that Plumette is a bird and named Plumette, but she's GORGEOUS and I like her attitude! I just wish there was more of her, especially her singing! The actress is a very pretty singer! I don't like Ewan McGregor as a singer, but as an actor, I think he's alright! Lumiere and Plumette are literally adorable-

Dan Steven's Evermore

He's just- an amazing Beast in terms of vocals! He's got so much emotion, yet still sounds beastly!!! Love that guy's voice!

One specific part of Be Our Guest

That one part "with your meal, with your eyes! Yes indeed, we aim to please! While the candlelight's still glowing, let us help you, we'll keep going!" It scratches my brain!!

Days in the Sun

As a standalone song, it's beautiful. In terms of the movie, it's too dark and gloomy. I do really enjoy the way everyone sounds, though!!

Ok I'm done infodumping for now- hopefully I don't get too much hate because the batb fandom hates this movie but ah well

7-questions ask for lumiere from beauty and the beast

Three facts about them from my personal headcanons.

While he playfully flirts with many women, Babette/Fifi/Plumette is his one true love and she knows it.

He taught Cogsworth and Mrs. Potts to speak French – since based on their names as well as their accents, I assume they're British in-universe – and they in turn taught him English, although he's never quite gotten the hang of speaking it.

For the first several after the spell was broken, he spent much of his time waiting on Maurice, whom I imagine still needed a few days in bed to fully recover from his ordeal in the snow. During that time, at some point, Maurice thanked him not only for welcoming him when he first sought shelter in the castle, but for leading everyone to their new happiness by doing so.

A reason they suck:

His sheer exuberance sometimes makes him too rash for his own good, or for other people's.

A reason they are great:

His warmth, joy, optimism, friendliness, and flair for entertainment, and the fact that his kind act of letting Maurice take shelter in the castle starts the whole chain of events that leads to Belle and the Beast falling in love and the spell breaking.

A reason I relate to them:

I love to be hospitable.

(what I consider to be) the top tier otp/ot3 for that character:

Babette/Fifi/Plumette – whatever her name is, I like him best with the feather duster maid. While I don't object to shipping him with Cogsworth either, I prefer them as best friends.

Five things that never happened to the character that I believe should have happened:

In a perfect world, that he didn't have to spend ten years as a candelabra, but them there would be no plot.

That he shared more romantic moments with Babette/Fifi/Plumette in the animated film. Fortunately, the stage musical and live-action remake both add more.

That he interacted more with Chip. I imagine he's good with children.

That at some point during "Be Our Guest," he glanced through the doorway and noticed the Beast watching from down the hallway. Realizing he's been caught disobeying orders by feeding Belle, he would flash the Beast a pleading look, and after a moment, the Beast would give a grim nod of approval and stalk away, and Lumiere would grin before going back to the song. This might redeem the Beast in the audience's eyes for the earlier "If she doesn't eat with me, then she doesn't eat at all!"

That Cogsworth would admit that Lumiere was the one who told him that Belle would break the spell.

Five people that character never fell in love with and why.

Mrs. Potts. She's a good friend, but not his type.

Madame Armoire/de la Grande Bouche/de Garderobe. She's a little too flamboyant for him – her flamboyance plus his own would be overwhelming – and in the live-action remake she's married.

Belle. He sees her as more of a lovely, sweet younger sister figure – he prefers a woman willing to be a bit more wild and flirty.

Cogsworth. They're better friends than Cogsworth will admit that they are, but anything beyond that is just in fanfic.

The Beast/Prince Adam. Even if either of them were attracted to men, and even in his human form, Adam is too serious and intense for Lumiere's taste.

[mirrormirror-bytherose]

Madame Garderobe, I have a question. Before the curse did you live here aswell? Or was this a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time? (And I mean that as in the curse was only supposed to affect people who lived in the castle)

"Ah, that's a bit of a-yes-and-a-no.  You see, I might do odd jobs around the place, but officially I'm a lady in waiting."

"'But Hilda, who are you waiting on?'  That'd be the prince's governess.  I was a bit of a consolation prize from the prince's folks, for sending her to tutor their little terror."

"I'm no good with kids – love 'em, don't leave me in a room alone with 'em.  Madame Lutrin, though, I gotta wonder why she even went into her job when she doesn't like children.  Hated misbehavior, hated fidgeting... lady, that's just what kids are like!"

"It's not my place to criticize, mind.  I was just there to make her stay as comfortable as I could.  But ladies-in-waiting really are meant for the higher-ups that have more needs.  So I got used to spending my downtime with the rest of the castle."

"When Madame took her Christmas leave, I should have gone with her.  It's in the job description and all that.  But it's not like she was used to having a personal attendant, or expected one when she was visiting her own family.  Besides, the last lesson she taught before she left was another rough one.  The whole time I was packing her things, she was telling me everything that's wrong with kids these days, every little bit of disrespect and refusal to put the effort it... I'll admit it, I wanted to stop listening to her.  So I said I was needed here, wished her well and sent her off."

"You know what happened next.  Fairy shows up, Prince says the wrong thing, and poof!  Everyone here gets cursed.  Madame Lutrin was the first to try to come back to work, and whoof, trying to explain what'd happened wasn't fun for any of us."

Flufftober catch-up Day 1's Prompt: "Wearing Each Other's Clothes"

BatB, ficlet, can work for 1991 or 2017, post-curse. Tagging a few I know are also BatB fans: @rose-of-the-underworld @tinydooms @morgaine2005 @lumiereandcogsworth @astudyinchocolate @sweetfayetanner

Also @flufftober

---

Belle had no earthly idea how it had happened, or who thought it up first, but she and Adam found themselves dressing up in the other's first ballroom dance clothes, not daring to peek at each other until they were finished. The idea of Adam in her ballroom dress much amused Belle, and it took near the strength of ten elephants to force herself not to look.

"Uh Belle?"

Belle paused with one arm halfway through Adam's ballroom coat.

"Yes?"

"Tie me up will you?"

Belle gave in and let herself peek over at Adam, now dressed (and looking actually rather dashing) in her yellow ballgown. All that was to be done was to tie up the ribbons.

"Hang on, let me just do this first." Belle spotted Adam about to turn around,. "Hey, no peeking!"

"I know you're peeking," Adam countered, Belle hearing the smirk in his voice.

"You asked me to help you, that's not the same," Belle pointed out as she pulled her other arm through Adam's suit. Once satisfied with how it looked on her, she strode over to start tying up the thick ribbon around Adam's slender waist. "For the record," she added, "You look very handsome right now."

"Really?"

"Without peeking, what do you think of me in your definitely not too big for me ballroom suit?"

"How can I know without looking?"

Belle tightened the ribbon a tadge more before tying it up. "Use your imagination."

"Hmm..." Adam hummed, tapping a finger against his chin. "I imagine it's probably big on you, right?"

Belle glanced down at the hems of the trousers covering her heels.

"Just a little bit," she said, shrugging the coat a little more comfortably on her shoulders.

"How do you feel in it?"

"I actually love it--mind if I, um, borrow this coat every now and then?"

"Borrow as in keep forever?"

"Borrow as in borrow."

"I'll keep it in mind. Can I turn around now?"

Belle checked over her finished work, and satisfied, she nodded even though Adam couldn't see her.

"Sure! Turn around and behold me dressed in her love's handsome ballroom suit."

Belle stepped back out of Adam's way as he raised his arms with a dramatic spin to face Belle, dipping into a graceful bow. When he straightened up again, his blue eyes sparkled with unfettered delight and his fingers couldn't seem to stop running over and fondling the soft, silky material. The skirts stopped just short of his ankles, and it looked like a tight fit across his chest, though it looked perfect at his waist--and yet Adam clearly was loving every inch of it.

"Oh my Belle! You look stunning!"

Belle raised an eyebrow, though her heart swelled at his adoration of her in his formal attire. She flapped the sleeves of the coat, nodding down at her feet.

"Despite the trousers being so long I'm standing on the hems? Or the sleeves being so long I can do this?" Belle flapped the sleeves again.

Adam stroked the side of her face, thumb brushing over her cheekbone as he leaned in to give her the softest kiss on her forehead.

"You still look stunning, love," he murmured, "I dare say, even more so, wearing my ballroom suit."

"And you, my love--that thing is way too small on you, yet you maintain your handsomeness."

"It's squeezing the life out of me, but glad to hear you think I still look my handsome self in it."

"Madame Garderobe wouldn't be afoul of making you one your size if you wanted."

Adam laughed, wrapping his arms tight and secure around Belle.

"Are you kidding? That's the first thing I'm going to ask her."

"Excellent. Because I'm about to ask her to make your suit, but in my fit too."

And won't we be a delightful sight at the next dance!

East of the Beauty, West of the Beast

original meme belongs to Blaze-On-Fire. Characters belong to Thomas Atrustic. Here we go! "Beauty and the Beast" recasted with "Miraculous" characters! I've also added elements from the remake and story "East o' the Sun, and West o' the Moon" (hence the title) We have... Ladybug (Marinette) as Belle. She's everyone's go-to problem solver, often referred to as a "Living Lucky Charm". Chat Blanc (Adrien) as the Beast. This version focuses more on the characters' beastly behavior instead of his beastly appearance. Chloe as Gaston. She loves Marinette because she's cute and a good seamstress. I showed her in her "Queen Banana" outfit because that's my favorite outfit of hers. Grandpa Rolland as Maurice. Instead of a wacky, lovable inventor, we have a grumpy, lovable baker. Rose (Princess Fragrance) as Lumiere and Juleka (Reflekta) as Plumette. They're maids who were turned into dolls. Natalee (Mayura) as Cogsworth. She's the castles' major domo and a sorcerous. Nadja Charmak (Prime Queen) as Mrs. Potts. She's a knight who was fused with her armor. Manon Charmak (Puppeteer) as Chip Potts. The curse shrunk her and fused her with her fairy costume. Sabrina as Le Fou. She's in love with Chloe but is too scared to admit it. Lila Rossi as the Enchantress. She's the main antagonist in this story.   I'm also including Nino (The Bubbler) as Cadenza and Alya (Lady Wifi) as Madame Garderobe. They were Natalees' apprentices. The curse fused them with spells they tried to use. Nino can only summon bubbles and shields and Alya can only travel through mirrors, which she's trapped in. Also starring Gorzila as the coatrack and Gabriel as the librarian. (he's secretly scoping out potential brides for his son)   The story is this:   In a world filled with magic and sorcery, one sorcerer named Gabriel Agreste lived with his wife and son in a shining castle. But when his wife Emily died, he became broody and withdrawn, while his 13-year old son Adrien kept bottling up his feelings in an attempt to be a good prince. After a year of mourning, the castle hosts a costume party, where Adrien dresses like a black cat and all the castle staff dress like fairies and toys. In walks a mysterious woman who claims she can bring Emily back to life if Adrien marries her. Gabriel agrees, but Adrien, disgusted at the idea, uncorks his frustrations and angerly turns down the offer, unleashing a tirade that shocks the whole party. The woman -Lila- retaliates by ripping out his humanity, turning him feral and catlike. She then curses the entire castle and tells Gabriel that if he can't find Adrien another bride in 4 years, she'll hold him to his promise to her. Four years later, the castle has been hidden and no-one remembers it. Marinette is a tailors' apprentice living with her grandfather, helping out everyone who asks, and dodging Chloes' crazy flirtations. But her quiet life is shattered by an onslaught of aphids that threaten the towns' farms. Enter, the mysterious Hawk Moth, who says his akumas can wipe out the infestation, if one of the town maidens agrees to be a companion to his son. Marinette agrees, (over the objections of her friends and family) and takes along her mothers' red wedding robe, decorated with black peonies. Hawk Moth spirits her away to his castle, where she meets talking dolls, a girl trapped in a mirror, and a strange wild boy dressed all in white. Even more shocking, instead of her helping everyone out, everyone seems laser focused on helping her out. Each day, she explores the castle and bonds a little more with Adrien and the staff. And each night, she dreams about a handsome blond boy calling out to her, getting closer every time. Meanwhile, Lila goes to the village claiming that they were tricked and Marinette was kidnapped. She rallies them to storm the castle and in the ensuing fight, Chat Blanc is burnt by a broken candle. Lila reveals herself, and takes him back to her home. The battle comes to an abrupt stop. Hawk Moth reveals himself as Gabriel and reveals he set everything up to get Marinette and his son together. Marinette is angry, but she understands. She points out that since the four years aren't officially up, they still have time to save Adrien. She dons her mothers' robe and packs a supply of provisions (including a yo-yo she found while exploring). Some of the villagers and staff members go with her. Along the way: Nino and Alya overcome their curses and discover new spells. Sabrina confesses her feelings to Chloe, who realizes what a fool she's been, and Natalee reveals that the boy from Marinettes' dreams is Adriens' true self, and that dream communication is a sign that they're soulmates. They travel all the way to Lilas' manor on the Northern coast. There, The team frees Chat Blac while Lila and Marinette square off. Lila tried to scare her with illusions, but Marinette ends up tripping Lila with her yo-yo. She and Chat have a beautiful reunion, and with a kiss, the curse is lifted. Adrien regains his humanity, and the first thing he says is that Marinette doesn't have to marry him if she doesn't want to. Marinette says she's happy to get to know him all over again. As for Gabriel... he retires from magic, and finds new love in Natalees' arms. IMAGE DETAILS

[englishlotusflower]

I was rewatching Beauty and the Beast today because I wanted to see Madame Garderobe's (still dunno how to spell her name lmao)costumes, and I got to the bit where she does the washing and I burst out laughing.

Belle is doing the washing. She's doing the household chores while her father tinkers away at his hobby.

Then we go a bit further to where they're sprucing up the castle, and voila! SHE'S FUCKING CLEANING THE CASTLE WHILE THE BEAST DOES JACKSHIT.

I'm actually dying guys. Emma Watson threw a hugeass stink over wearing fucking period appropriate underwear and ended up in a banana yellow 21ast century prom dress instead of an iconic gold roccoco gown, and yet saw absolutely no problem with her character doing all the household chores while the men sit around and do nothing? surely that's perpetuating more harmful stereotypes than wearing a pretty dress? right? LOGIC PEOPLE.

Positive-ish Things that Happened During the Curse

I feel that I’ve made a lot of posts about how terrible the curse was for the staff (I’m not mistaken in doing so, the curse was definitely bad for everyone) but that little voice in my head got me thinking: what if I made a happy post about it?  So without further ado, here are a few headcanons about the curse that will (hopefully) make you smile.

Chip teaches Froufrou some new tricks.  Garderobe and Cadenza had already taught him the basics, like “sit,” “stay,” “quiet,” and a few other general ones, but Chip decides that “roll over,” “play dead,” “hide and seek,” and a few other fun ones should be added.

In the first few days, Plumette and the other maids cleaned the entirety of the castle. Obsessively. And while this served as a healthy distraction, it was also a way to remind themselves that they weren’t forgotten. It was their own rebellion against the curse, and everyone thanked them for it. The only two places left avoided were the West Wing (for obvious reasons) and the East Wing, because Adam forbade anyone go near it after his mom died.

Cuisinier had control over most of the knives in the kitchen, and with some help from more mobile residents, he carved toys for Chip and Froufrou. 

Yes, telekinesis exists. Cogsworth confirmed that some objects are just objects, so I imagine Mrs. Potts can push her own cart, Lumiere can light every candle in the castle, Plumette and the other maids can control the sheets and pillows, Chip can use his saucer like a skateboard, Garderobe can make a dress with a thought, etc.

On the subject of dog toys, the Madame wasted no time sewing little trinkets filled with rice and beans from the kitchens. Though she couldn’t leave the East Wing, Mrs. Potts provided the necessary materials on her cart. It was through this love of crafting (and the precious dog, of course) that Garderobe and Cuisinier, the two stationary residents, became good friends.

They all became snow artists over time. Think about it: the whole castle is blanketed in an enchanted winter, which means an enormous amount of snow. As Lumiere put it, they were doing nearly nothing before Belle arrived. But I can imagine that the staff members--Chip, Chapeau, Lumiere, and Plumette especially--learned how to make the best snow-sculptures ever.

And for those who immediately call baloney on Lumiere being good at it because of his candles, he can and does put them out. And even so, you know you can form ice by melting away parts of it, right? Imagine him making abstract, curving shapes out of icicles, or beautiful, water-like patterns in ice blocks. 

Not to mention, any time Chip asks for a snowball fight, the team who has Chapeau with them always wins. And it’s unfair. But it’s fun.

There have been times when Chip has been buried in the snow. It’s all in good fun, but Chapeau insists on watching him every time. After all, porcelain/fine china can crack if exposed to enough cold.

There are some dogs out there that aren’t smart enough to recognize their own reflections, so I like to think Froufrou has no idea what’s going on. Like sure, his mamma and papà look different, but they smell the same, so what’s the big deal?

I think I’ve mentioned this in other posts, but during pre-curse times, Lumiere hosted little midnight parties with music and dancing. He keeps that up, obviously, and after the curse falls on the castle, those meetings descend into chaos (since the walls of the ballroom have playable instruments on them, and the maids can fly). Chapeau usually provides the music, and sometimes the maestro joins in (when he feels up to it--after all, he’s incomplete without his dear one). 

Cogsworth hates it, but has absolutely no say on the matter, because he’s outvoted by everyone else.

Lumiere could and did light candles from far away. Maybe it’s just the 1991 version knocking on my brain, but I love the idea of Lumiere just blowing out one of his flames and then having all of the candles in his vicinity flaring up instantly. You need a ballroom lit? Give him five seconds. Done.

Plumette and the other maids tested their wings. On a calm day, they just decided to see how high they could fly, and Plumette made it pretty high before the winds picked up. The quest to find her around the castle grounds was pretty funny...for everyone but Plumette. And Lumiere. Poor thing went cold with worry. 

Of course they found her, and of course she wasn’t hurt, but from a bird’s-eye perspective, seeing the staff scramble to “catch the maids” just makes me laugh so much.

Under Mrs. Potts’ strict instruction, Chapeau taught Garderobe and Cadenza Adam’s favorite lullaby, the one his mother sang to him when he was little. If the Beast slept inside the castle, whoever was closest, and whoever was awake, would play it for him. He’d rage and silence them if he was awake, so in that way, his mother visited him in his dreams. It was a sign of the servants relearning to care.

The first big reunion with the beast and the servants was a few weeks into the curse: 

For the first few weeks, the Beast was so filled with self-loathing he would avoid the staff on a daily basis, killing things in the forest and eating them, like a real animal. Once Mrs. Potts and Chapeau found out that this was what he got up to when he left, Cogsworth nearly had a stroke and put his foot down. The Beast was doing the exact opposite of what he was supposed to be doing; disappearing into some wild thing was absolutely unacceptable. 

They didn’t pull out every stop. To do so would mean pretending like nothing was wrong, and they weren’t about to start that. But they made him dinner--a childhood favorite--and locked the doors of the castle, forcing him to eat what they made. They hovered, out of striking distance, but present in case he needed them. 

He ate. He trudged up the stairs to the West Wing. Looked at the rose. And cried. His first good cry in years, one that eventually lulled him to sleep. 

He never missed dinner after that.
