HII ITS THE NOD LOVER🫶🫶 CAN YOU DO A NOD X READER WHERE THE READER IS CHOSEN AS QUEEN AFTER THE POD BLOOMS AND ITS JUST FLUFF BC NODS GF IS NOW QUEEN<3

a/n: hello! long time no see. i´m in college now! life´s been crazy latelly, but i tried to clear my mind from the stress of it by writing for a while. i had such a hard time with this request. i have a draft of it that might never see the light that i worked on for months. eventually i just decided to start from scratch and wrote this in three hours. hope you enjoy!

Queen Of The Pod

Your muscles were aching and begging at you to give them a break. But you couldn't, not yet. You groaned as you tried to crawl back with whatever energy remained in your body. 

Your leafman uniform was plagued with burn marks from Mandrake´s rot. Some of it had managed to singe your body, but it had been stopped from doing any major damage by your protective pieces.

You lifted your head up just to see Ronin struggling on the floor, being held down by Mandrake´s staff. 

“Don´t touch him, you decaying shit!” you groaned out as you reached for your blade -or attempted to.

“Lie down princess”, Mandrake said, barely sparing a glance at your weak figure. “I'll be with you in a second”. 

He then refocused his attention on the General and with an evil grin pushed the rot towards his face.

Ronin´s eyes went wide as he attempted to put as much distance as he could between him and the black gooey substance. You knew he wouldn't be able to hold for much longer. His face was covered in bruises, and he had been through hell and back just to be able to protect the pod.

At the very last moment, Mandrake rerouted his staff, and brought it down on Ronin´s chest, burning deeply into his chestplate. As the General winced, he took advantage of his weak position and pinned him down to the floor with his foot.

“What is that saying you leafmen have?” Mandrake mused as he nonchalantly threw his staff over his shoulder. “Lots of leaves…something, something. Very inspiring”. He then raised the staff over his head, and his smirk turned into a look of rage and anger. “But in the end, every leaf falls and  dies alone…”

Ronin´s eyes went wide as the staff came down towards his face with sudden speed. However the blow never landed, and when he opened his eyes two blades were protecting his face from being completely consumed by the rot.

“No one is alone”, Nod said as he pushed the staff away from Ronin.

As if on cue, an army of leafmen dropped from the sky in perfect formation. You came to the sudden realization that moonlight was now filtering through the chamber, meaning that the pod would be able to bloom after all.

“Not even him”, you added as you pointed your blade menacingly towards Mandrake. 

The arrival of your boyfriend had been timed perfectly. You had the urge to jump into his arms and make sure he was alright, but you limited yourself to a discreet smile.

‘I'm glad you´re okay’.

Mandrake seemed to come to the same conclusion as you had. The leafmen´s presence meant that they were not occupied with his soldiers; the darkness was not a threat anymore. Frantically he tried to break through the soldiers and get back to the pod, however you and Nod intertwined your blades once again, blocking his way to the center of the chamber.

Mandrake let out a growl of frustration as he pushed and fought harder, but the blooming pod seemed to give you newly renewed energy. You felt Tara with you. It was because of her that you were doing this, you would make her proud. 

With your fuelled energy, you both thrusted your blades forward at the same time that the pod bursted with energy, throwing Mandrake backwards. You hurriedly ran towards the entryway ready to fight him in case he wasn't ready to give up yet, however his drowning screams caught your attention as he was swallowed into the trunk of a tree by his own rot.

You allowed yourself to sigh out in relief, exhaustion washing over your body once again. You saw Nod already helping Ronin up from the floor, and offering him his shoulder as support. 

“You alright old man?” you asked as you sheath your sword. 

“I´m fine. A little bruised is all”, he replied. “How's your leg doing? He burned you pretty badly”. 

Nod approached you, after making sure Ronin was in fact okay, and made you place your arm around his shoulder as he held you securely by your waist. 

The sudden weight of the situation dawned on you. It was over. He was gone, and so was she. You missed her. From the moment Tara died, you had not been able to process her death but rather had been focused on fixing the disaster it had caused. Now that you weren't on this quest anymore, her absence was palpable.

“I wish she could be here”, you blurted out. You felt Nod hold on tighter to your waist as he rubbed comforting circles with his thumb on it. 

“She is,” Ronin said breathlessly, as his gaze landed upon the blooming pod. Now that the battle was over, the people of Moonhaven had come out of their hiding places and were staring in awe at the light emanating from the pod. 

The light particles hovered over the flower before gently flying out. They traveled along the chamber, as if greeting everyone there. As if Tara was happy to see them safe. It slowed down as they reached your small group, stopping ever so slightly in front of Ronin and shimmering a little bit brighter, before making its way over to you and Nod. You expected the same greeting as Ronin had had. A final goodbye from your sister. However, the light did not leave your side, and instead it started to shine brighter and bigger. 

Nod carefully  removed his arm from around your waist, and gave you your space.

The light suddenly took the shape of Tara. You tried your best to remember your training and straightened up with your arms by your side. However, you couldn´t stop the few tears that had formed in your eyes from escaping.

“You did alright kid,” she said with the kindest of smiles. “You're in great hands”.

She glanced back at Ronin, prompting the General to smile.

“There's that smile…” Tara said as she returned her loving gaze back to you. “Take care of them for me”.

“I can´t. I´m not fit for being a queen”, you whispered as your voice broke slightly. “It should be you. You should be here…with me”.

Tara held on to your shaking hands, “I'll alway be with you”.  With a final smile, she placed a tender kiss on your forehead. A bright light suddenly surrounded you and before you knew it, Tara was gone. Well, not really. That deep sadness you had been holding on to was gone. You could feel her. She lived within you. And you would make her proud, her legacy would live on through you.

A soft calling of your name broke you out of your trance. Your head snapped towards your awestruck boyfriend who was looking at you as if you were a star. You came to the sudden realization that the pain in your leg was gone, and as you glanced down to check on your wound you were surprised to see your runiform replaced with a stunning green and white dress. The queen's dress.

“You look stunning…” he breathed out. A smile crept onto his face as he approached you and wrapped his arms around you. You buried your head in the crook of his neck and let out a small laugh as he lifted you up from the ground and spun you. 

“Nod!” you laughed out. “Put me down”. 

“As you wish, your majesty”, he said as he set you down once again and playfully bowed. 

The people cheered, in celebration of their new queen. To which you offered them graceful smiles.

“You know what this means…” Ronin said as he stood next to you, his helmet held firmly on his right arm.

“What?¨ you asked.

“Nod better shape up”. 

You laughed at that, and glanced back at your boyfriend who was staring at you with a lovesick smile.

“I guess he does”.

[ID: A digital drawing of Ronin and Queen Tara from the movie Epic. Ronin is standing in Tara’s embrace, wrapped in vines, but leaning forward so their foreheads are touching. He is smiling softly and looking at Tara, whose eyes are closed as she grins and holds onto him. Vines wrap around her loosely as well. Cutting through the image is a Boggin arrow; it pierces through both of the characters and emerges from Tara’s back. The image is colored in warm pinks and purples, although the arrow casts a deep shadow over both of them. The artist’s signature is visible above the feathers of the arrow. End ID.]

not to post niche fan art of a movie from 2013 but i rewatched Epic recently and these two INVENTED tragic romance. it’s about her being the life of the forest and him dedicating his life to protecting her, and how he wasn’t enough when it mattered most. it’s about how she was a lifeline for everyone, not just him, so he tries to be selfless about losing her, but still falters when it aches too much. it’s about how she chooses to give him her last words both times. it’s about how he only ever wanted to keep her safe, and she only ever wanted to see him smile. its about them being visually connected by the thing that tears them apart. AAAAAAAAAAAAA.

I just rewatched Epic and yeah it was great. First time I’ve seen it literally since it came out. I could go on for hours about the different relationships and Ronin and Tara especially and yeah I love this movie.

#epic (2013) #ronin #queen tara #nod #mk #I do kinda wish that mk had stayed small though and stayed in that world #also that one slug was very annoying #also usually if the kid of a bad guy isn’t necessarily all that smart they are shunned or something #but mandrake really loved his son and I thought that was cool

I know I send you so many ask, but hear me out - and if you dont want to, please tell me to stop 😭😂

For that one Dagda story, I was telling you I was gonna write. I got into the details of other kingdoms, and they all gather for the Spring Equinox, and they have like competions and everything. And reader and Dagda are basically so in love at this point, so the reader as him and his father come as both royal guest and as there kingdom to the celebration, and she tells Tara and Ronin and Ronins like "aw hell nah" but Tara can see how much this means to reader and is extremely suspicious of reader bc she dont know about Dagda and reader yet. The only condition is Wraithwood/Boggins can have no weapons on them, so yeah, they can't participate in the games. Its agreed upon and the day of the start of the celebration and games they all sit in like the royal seating, and Tara's all like "wheres reader" and the games and royal ceremony starts to introduce everyone the with the first game archery and wraithwood couldnt be included b/c of the no weapons agreement. So at the end theres just this one cloaked figure walking with the wraithwood banner and its completely silent and when reader stops up at the archeriets post she pulls down her hood and is like: "I'll be shooting for Wraithwood!" And Dagda falls harder in love with the reader :)

Oh heck yes!! 😭😭😭 Im imagining that scene from Brave when Merida shoots for her own hand.

Mandrake’s just sitting there already accepting her as his daughter in law, even if its just to spite Ronin XD

Mandrake leaning over to Dagda and whispering: You have good taste.

Dagda: Thanks, I don’t know how the hell it happened.

This is my favorite story idea, I love dagda and readers dynamic. I imagine her getting into a fight with Ronin at some point, this is amazing!

This crossover ship collage of Queen Tara and Chang'e was inspired by one of the crossover ship through clips I saw in the YouTube video, There's No Way - Non/Disney Crossover MEP by KitsuKitx. While the clip in the video was made by WCRfan126, as for the video it is called There's No Way [Chang'e & Tara - MEP Part].

How I would fix Epic

First of all, I would cut out humans.

Maybe it's the Earth, another planet, just some part of the forest untouched by men, doesn't matter, not important to the story.

People getting isekaied/teleported into another world or place is so annoying to me because most of the time it's completely pointless. We get to know the backstory and daily life of our protagonist then they get sucked into a magical place, act like a fish out of the water with typical gags:

Denial, it must be a dream/ a joke

Small animals are now huge compared to MC and are used as mounting beasts. (I actually like this trope)

MC is completely baffled, even tho it's not that surprising that civilization would tame animals appropriately to their needs and habitat. 

Being tinny sucks, everything tries to eat you, bugs, dirt, ‘’I want to go home’’ etc.

Somehow the MC gets wrapped up in whatever conflict is happening and helps the good guys, because they don't help MC otherwise, the villain has some magic thing and needs to be defeated first etc.

The main character comes back home a new better person, with new friends (that they might never see again) and when asked where they were and what they were doing the answer is ''You won't believe me anyway.'', ''It's a long story.'' or a lie to protect the magical world from human influence.

Maybe they go to the MC's world for a while and the protagonist has to explain something normal like the internet or a car to the little creatures. ''Can you imagine kids? They don't know what the internet is. Isn't it crazy and otherworldly?''

Maybe they have some skill, gimmick, or something that they brought with them from their world that is used once or twice, so the MC isn't completely useless.

What I'm trying to say is being a human, and human world have very little to do with anything. But I know why it's done. Not only we have an average person to relate to (supposedly), but also they will ask all the important questions. Oh, I don't mean some important questions that will explore this new culture, their history and views. I mean all the generic mandatory ones:

- What is this place? - This is ''insert name of this place'' - Who are you? - My name is ''insert a cool sounding name for a love interest''. I’m a ''insert name of the good made up race'' - What are those animals? - Those are ''insert made up creature name here'' they will be our animal sidekicks and comedic relief. - Who's this? - It's our queen/king ''insert name here, don't even bother, just call them queen/king'' - What are those animals? - Those are ''insert bad guy's creatures name''. - Who's this? - That's the bad guy ''insert name here". - How do I get back home?   - You need ''insert name of the macguffin''. - What is it? - It's a ''lore dump''. - Where is it? - It was stolen by the bad guys. We need to go to the ''insert the name of the villains lair here'' before the ''insert the time crunch here''.  

Journey with some bumps on the road, never ask any more questions, defeat the villain, sad goodbye. And if you feel adventurous tease return and a sequel. It's easier to have someone we can explain the lore too, instead of trying to put it into the story.

How would I fix it? Have Nod be the protagonist.

Show him growing up, experiencing his culture (like bird racing), being taught the history of his people, have his father explain to him why the war is happening, show Nod training to be a true Leafman warrior.

And to make it better intertwined it with Dagda's story. Show us Boggan culture, history and their perspective on what is happening. And I would made it more complex then ''I hate balance''.
