#so if this was useful to you i'd love to hear <3

[kekaki-cupcakes]

Heyy! Could I request Jason x Child of Nyx! Reader, i'd figure it'd be a cool thing since you know Zeus and Nyx don't really like each other that and then their children fall in love.

You don't have to do it, if you don't want to and ps. I love all of your works! <3

okay so these have been sitting in my inbox since eons ago, so I decided I was gonna set myself a minimum of 0.4k words because I figured people would rather read a lil bit of their request rather then non of it, but I just churned out 1.2k words of this and I know more then the gods do about nocturnal animals.

enjoy <3

he was raised by wolves - Jason G x child of Nyx reader/animal lover

»»————-　★　————-««

Jason dumped his teddy bear jacket on the back of the spinning chair, after he checked there were no hedgehogs eating plum offcuts on it. He’d made that mistake one too many times. There were a lot of miniscule holes in the sleeves of his jacket. 

The medical kit he was looking for was most likely in one of the crates stacked beneath the snake table. The table with the snake tanks on it, obviously. 

Your cabin was dark a lot of the time, when you weren’t there, courtesy of the kingdom of nocturnal animals lurking between books and in pillowcases, so Jason had to turn on a few of the antique lamps you’d found [on the side of the road, of course] so that other people could see.

He got to his knees, wincing at the crack he heard. 

He could also hear a faint hissing. He looked into one of the tanks, and waved at Benjamin. Benjamin was a northern desert night snake. Meaning he looked like if a leopard wearing a choker was turned into a slithery little serpent. Jason was glad you’d passed that pet leopard you used to have onto Pollux and Castor. It got fur all over his clothes.

Benjamin just stuck his tongue out at him, and Jason crawled underneath the desk, looking for the first aid kit every cabin was supposed to have.

There was a pretty high chance you had chucked it out to make room for that little collection of shrinking green frogs you had found in a river by the Hecate cabin, deep in the woods so that when they accidentally cursed bloodlines and the like, no one was in imminent danger. Lou Ellen owed her first born to three different beings, but that was irrelevant. 

He dug past a few boxes of sugar glider pellets, and found the first aid kit. 

“JASON GRACE, SON OF A BITCH, CHILD OF ROME, CONSUL OF DEMIGODS, PRAETOR OF THE FIRST LEGION!”

Jason sat straight up. A thud echoed through the low lit little cabin, and his head began to pound. He’d hit it on the bottom of the snake table. He sniffed, “I said that once.” 

He heard you trot over as he tried to extract himself, the back of his head throbbing painfully. 

“Babe, we talked about this,” you fussed, and yanked him out into the open with the force of someone who took chocolate out of coyotes mouths on the daily. “You gotta stop banging your head! You’re getting that chronic pain from it that Will told you about!”

Jason grumbled about nothing, and squinted as he looked around. Your face was just a blob. 

“You dropped your glasses babe, hear, lemme… wait, hold this,” you said, dumping your wrapped up hoodie into his arms, the one with the moon cycle phases on the back, and then crawling back underneath the snake table. “I’ve got em!”

He watched you slide them back onto his eyes, your hands actually very gentle compared to the yanking from before. He tried not to grin stupidly. The hoodie in his arms wriggled. Jason looked down, and a small spiky red face looked up at him with big shiny eyes.

“Uh…” he said.

You stood up with a huff, “I knew it, you’ve got a concussion. Now you’re slurring your speech!”

“...No, I just wasn’t expecting a fox,” Jason managed to squeak out, staring at the little animal. It was pretty cute. It reminded him of a wolf, but not the wolves he knew, more of a spindly wolf dipped in ketchup. 

You paused, the first aid kit in your hands. “You weren’t? What did you think I was doing in the forest?” 

“I don’t know,” Jason said, standing back up and moving to the squishy blanketed bed behind the humongous crystal ball and stack of telescopes. There were also a few cat playgrounds to weave around, but he managed to sink into your pile of bat shaped teddies and pillows. “Fighting monsters, near death experiences, something regular?”

You rolled your eyes, and sat cross legged on the bed, reaching for his head with those gentle hands that made him understand how you could pick up the deadliest of spiders and feralist of wolverines without even a scratch. 

Jason wasn’t even nocturnal, but he did sink into your hold. 

Then you let go to crack the unfrozen ice pack and let the chemicals take over until it would make the tips of your fingers freezing. Jason knew to expect your cold hands under his shirt, trying to freeze him out. 

He was sort of used to it, though.  

He looked around your cabin while you savagely whacked the poor icepack against one of the many thick framed mirrors lining your walls. A few bats flapped out of their hiding places in the rafters and settled back down. A baby puma hissed from its place by the umbrella stand that was actually just full of swords. 

From the outside, your cabin looked like a tiny portion of a haunted mansion plonked between the Asteria cabin and the Hestia cabin, which was really just a cozy little room for anyone. Jason pet the soft head of the fox napping in his arms. On the inside, though, it was just old lamps and chew toys and even older mirrors. And a lot of poo bags. And record players. And Jason’s hoodies.

You were already wearing his teddy bear jacket, but he didn’t argue when you pressed the ice pack to his head.

“So, what were you really lookin for in there, babe?” you asked, taking back the fox. You held your hand out, and it disappeared into a shadow. 

“Bandages.”

On the other side of the room, out of a shadow, you grabbed a ziploc bag of raspberries. You pulled it back and began feeding the little fox, red staining your cold fingertips. 

“You know you can’t beat Beth, right?” you teased, looking up for a moment with those gorgeous eyes that made Jason’s head feel a little floaty. Or maybe it was just the injury. 

You smirked, “I mean, not that it’s totally not hot when you beat the shit out of people or anything.”

Yep. Definitely just the head injury. Totally.

Jason ate a slightly squashed raspberry. “I know, but I wanted to practise. I was gonna find Will. Can’t remember how to wrap my wrists.”

You passed over the fox, who wiggled out of the hoodie and curled around a fruit bat Squishmellow with a yawn, fangs stained with red that may or may not be berries or blood. 

Jason shuffled forwards on the bed, ice pack falling from his white blonde hair. “My turn?”

“I thought you were going to get the shit beaten out of you by Annabeth?” You said with a smirk. You had that shark tooth necklace on. Jason gave you a half hearted evil eye, and you opened your arms.

He flopped into the hug, pushing you both back onto the bed. A Tasmanian devil [how? You were in America!] and a grumpy looking white tailed deer and about seven different types of bush mice stared at you. 

Jason didn’t care. He snuggled into your hug, chin on your chest. Your fingers ran through his hair.  

He was your favorite feral animal.

[quillthrillswriting]

with all of the criticism NATLA is receiving, i'd like to bring up another point that i feel like i haven't seen many people talking about, and i think this really contributes to the lack of overarching atmosphere NATLA has.

music.

i think a lot of people have already expressed the sentiment that this live-action adaptation really misses on a lot of characterization. katara seems bland and one-dimensional, aang is constantly stressed and anxious about the future every time he's on screen, sokka just doesn't quite have that quintessential sokka-ness we as a fandom know and love.

i'd argue that part of the reason that the show is lacking that characterization is first because of screentime. as a show with ~20 episode seasons, the original atla has TONS of filler episodes, but these filler episodes let us see different facets of the characters and ulitmately aid in seeing how characters behave when the overarching plot is not driving them at that very moment.

however, i believe that even with a shorter season that can't fit any filler, you can still capture those kinds of moments. instead, what i'd argue worsened this lack of characterization is a lack of those silly, twangy themes we all know and love from the original.

you know what i'm talking about? aang would make a joke and we'd have goofy melodic lines playing, or momo would appear and we'd hear this:

the original ATLA was so creative in using music to paint a picture- in serious moments, it matched the mood entirely, in quiet, peaceful ones it made you feel like you were right there, on appa's back with the rest of the gaang, and in silly ones, it gave a sense of heart and lightness to the show.

watching the live action, we just didn't get that same range of emotion, and i do believe this is in part because the music just missed so much.

despite my criticism above, i'm excited to see the show renewed. i truly hope that the writers take the critiques they've seen from the fan's responses and use those to write the show better. the actors really are being limited by the directing & writing, and once that limiting factor is resolved, i really hope to see the show recapture that heart and soul that is so present in the original:)<3

(Tw for self-harm and abuse)

I just had a really weird ask show up, and instead of airing it (because it implied both that we choose to be gay, and that trans people wouldn't be trans unless we were m*olested as children) I'm gonna talk a bit about my long journey with identity.

Even though I spent a lot of my childhood being pretty confused about myself, I didn't hear the word 'Transgender' until I was an adult in 2009. That year I also got my license suspended for underage drinking and had to move back with my parents for a year. At my parents urging I started going to church activities every week, which is where i met my now ex-wife. I spent 2011 until about 2016 slowly knowing that I was going to come out eventually, but i was doing it all in secret. What I was doing was in pretty stark contrast to my religious upbringing and all the pressure being placed on me to start being a husband, and the huge expectation to have kids.

It culminated in me wearing makeup to my old Home Depot job for about a month, and even though everyone there was pretty ok with it, my parents saw me one day. And the entire situation crashed around me. My parents and my ex let it be known that I was going to stop this forever or I'd be cut off from the family, that I'd be homeless and alone if I continued. They said what I was doing was against God.

And I was so scared I went along with it. Everything fem was thrown away. I shaved my head. I had a kid, even though I had some serious doubts that I would be a good parent. The next 4 years of my life was pretending to be the cis straight man my family wanted me to be.

And it's not a stretch to say that I was dying. I slept 3 hours a day. I went through periods of binge eating and then starving myself. I had a terrible temper. I started working a driving job and every time I got behind the wheel I thought about driving off a cliff. I gave up control of my finances. I let other people decide everything for me. I didn't get pleasure from anything in life at that point, not food or entertainment or even sex. The light was gone from my eyes, hidden behind a big beard and a flannel shirt.

It wasn't until summer 2021 that I couldn't take it anymore. I broke down in front of my ex-wife in a restaurant parking lot while our kid was asleep in the car. It was a 2-day fight where I was called hateful things I've never heard before, by someone who claimed to love me. But eventually she relented. We agreed the relationship between us was functionally over, and I still had an obligation to our son. I started looking for therapy the next day.

All that brings me to now. That ask was sent by an asshole, who doesn't know anything about my life and isn't gonna change their mind based on anything I say. But I do hope there are people who find this and think a little more positively about queer existence. You could say I 'chose to be trans' and you might be right in a way. I was always trans, but I chose to transition. Because the other option was death. I decide my life, not transphobes or my shit family or a shit interpretation of God. Me. Gay people, trans people, all of us *choose* to live in a way that makes us happy. That's it.

It's so interesting and so exceedingly frustrating how agab is being utilized now within the queer community as a way to isolate and sort nonbinary and genderqueer folks into binary boxes that determine their moral purity levels, and their authority to do and write and exist.

The way nonbinary writers are being put under accusation of fetishizing gay men while their AGAB is continually brought up in a way that feels like queer-space-approved misgendering.

The way feminist circles that are supposedly trans-inclusive will use the word AFAB in a way that implicitly but intentionally isolates nonbinary people who aren't AFAB from joining. It's for women*.

The way the language is already flawed and leaves out intersex folks from the conversations while focusing on a binary of sex that isn't truthful.

The constant obsessing over whether someone is AFAB or AMAB and whether or not that gives them the privilege to join, do, write, or be present in certain spaces really really concerns me. How are we supposed to dismantle a binary system of gender if we can't even move past forcibly assigning and focusing on people's genders assigned at birth?

#and yes i understand! that agab language can in some circumstances be helpful in inclusive language and in the medical world but ultimately #is misgendering and unnecessary it should be up to the person to disclose their agab not an expectation of them to give up freely #I think that inclusive language shouldnt be misgendering in nature and agab as far as i can tell should only be used in select discussions #and certainly not as a way to frame a nonbinary writer as a “biological woman” but in a way where the queer community will nod along and sa #“oh they have a point” because you used the word AFAB instead #honestly afab is the term i see used most frequently and most harmfully towards other nonbinary people who don't identify w the label #to exclude trans women and amab nonbinary people #to frame nonbinary people as “still women” because of their assigned gender at birth #also i understand its not as simple as “not using” these terms bc they still serve a purpose and are important #but as they leave the queer community and as they enter the hands of cis queer people they become weapons #i wish i could like manifest my thoughts super clearly but i really cant bc its a difficult situation #its just another example of misogyny and bio-essentialism creeping into the queer community #because the patriarchy impacts all things including our discussions of trans oppression and gender we need to stop viewing it #as a strict binary of male female and oh sometimes we'll mention nonbinary people but we're all afab and amabs at the end of the day <3 #like flames literal flames #if you wanna like chip into the conversation just shoot me an ask or respond to the post i'd love to hear other peoples perspectives #im not infalliable so if i said anything you view as incorrect especially in regards to intersex folks and how you all would like to be #included in these discussions as im not intersex but am aware of how agab is a subject that leans into the idea of a binary of sex #so yeah rant over <3 #retro.bullshit #rant

Venom!Hobie Cat-Symbiote AU!

Okay so I might have made an AU of my AU...

It's based on my Venom!Hobie au but with a slightly (?) lighter tone in the sense that Hobie actually gets along well with his symbiote. Though they initially mostly get along due to shared mutural trauma... (But more about that later)

This version of the symbiote is more animalistic and usually communicates with Hobie through emotions- sorta projecting its own emotions and feelings towards him to let him know how it feels about something, though it might also communicate via single words or short sentences but that's pretty rare.

So, I'll do like I did in my original Venom!Hobie post and focus on the Design first:

Since they get along the symbiote feels safe around Hobie and thus it'll often "extend" itself outside of him and take the shape of a (freaky looking) cat - Kinda like how VENOM is able to partially seperate itself from Eddie while still being tethered to him:

Like this but they actually get along and the symbiote looks kinda like this:

(Once again- I CANNOT draw but the brainrot is stronger so I need to share this)

(I didn't draw the symbiote goo that would extend from it to tether it to Hobie but it's there I swear!)

Since this is Spider-Punk's symbiote I wanted some of the spikes to carry over in this design

I haven't quite decided if it should have the "running-mascara" look (buttom drawing) for its eyes like Spider-Punk's mask has or not so lemme know what you guys think?

The spikes are used as a way for it to communicate to others as a way to make its body language more expressive (though it only shows itself around people it really trusts so it rarely uses them as it still just communicates its emotions directly to Hobie when it needs to)

And like with Venom!Hobie the spikes are reminiscent of symbiote teeth

When it's relaxed/happy the spikes will be pressed down towards its body - making it easy to pet- if somebody would dare approach it that is

Hobie pets it a lot as it usually sits on his shoulder when he walks around (when there's nobody around that is)

The symbiote is still made of the same goo as regular symbiotes so it does not feel like petting a cat at all- Hobie doesn't mind but most other people find it rather unpleasant to touch

The "fuzzy" look is just the symbiote goo trying to imitate cat fur

The reason the symbiote takes this form is partially because it's more animalistic and likes physical affection (from people it trusts, it will bite your hand off if it doesn't like/trust you and you try to pet it) and partially because Hobie is a cat person and it used it as a method to make Hobie like it more when they first "met" + petting it helped Hobie calm down and still does

It's gotten pretty good at mimicking cat noises including purring

It'll usually stay on Hobie's shoulder or sit in his lap like this, it's still tethered to him so it can't go that far without him - not that it really wants to anyways

If it likes someone it'll rub itself against their legs and mimic purring noises

Okay now we move on to the

Origin:

This is my current headcanon for this AU but as always feel free to share your thoughts/ideas/inputs if you have any <3

Hobie and the symbiote "met" at one of Oscorp's labs

Hobie was living as a homeless teen (13-14 years old having escaped an abusive household a few months prior) and was captured by Oscorp to be used for their symbiote experimentations

Hobie was an easy target as he had just been bitten by the radioactive spider a few hours prior and thus he was starting to suffer from the fever the bite gave him

Hobie was to be fused with a new kind of symbiote

The symbiote had been made to make people more susceptible to orders- making them less inclined to think for themselves

But in order to make that possible the symbiote had been put through some rather painful and extreme experiments- making it more "dead" than alive at this point

When it's fused with Hobie, who's still very sick at this point, the spider bite is still working its magic on Hobie's body and thus it also partially heals the symbiote

Both Hobie and the symbiote are terrified of their situation as they're put in holding cells made specifically for symbiotes.- Their only comfort is each other.

The symbiote takes on the cat like appearance to soothe Hobie after being subjects to a particularly bad experiment

Since Hobie's gotten powers from both the spider bite and the symbiote they quickly become the subjects for many inhumane and painful experiments as the scientists futilely try to figure out how to replicate the symbiote (as they're unaware of the spider bite, thinking the symbiote alone is behind Hobie's new powers)

Due to the symbiote Hobie develops a taste for human flesh

And he gets his first taste of it as he manages to escape the lab during one of their many tests- killing as many guards and scientists on their way out as possible. (This is also the first time they fully transform into Venom!Hobie)

He would later return and burn the lab down completely.

As a result of their treatment at the lab + Hobie's past with his abusive family, both him and the symbiote have developed a deep distrust to other people.

Which is also why Hobie isn't trying to get rid of the symbiote, he considers it his only friend for a long time.

Hobie still loves playing music (which is also how he eventually makes new friends) but has had to make some adjustments due to the symbiote, thus he usually uses both earplugs and noise cancelling earmuffs when he's playing and even then he still gets migraines if he plays for too long or too loud

He still craves human flesh and will usually target cops or anyone associated with Oscorp to sate his hunger.

He doesn't feel bad about killing but will still try not to harm civilians (emphasis on try- sometimes the hunger gets the best of him)

He still operates as Spider-Punk but for a long time he's mostly fueled by his hatred for Oscorp and how they treated him and the symbiote

But as he slowly learns to open up to people he starts to shift his focus onto figting to help people and make the city safer (which means he'll still target cops and Oscorp employees but that's not his only focus anymore) (he also makes an effort to actually save civilians at this point)

Though due to the symbiote and their past this version of Spider-Punk is more prone to just straight up killing his villains (+ he still gotta eat right?)

But I'd like to imagine that this version of Hobie also finds his own community who help him out and accept both him and the symbiote

Giving them kind of a "happy" ending despite this version of Hobie being more messed up and unhinged...

Once again this turned out way longer than I intended lol (I just can't shut up about Venom!Hobie, the brainrot is real!)

Thank you so much for reading!!! <3 <3 <3

man i need to actually start talking to some of the gay + trans folks in my area

#I've seen some pretty cool & friendly people but im so exhausted most of the time </3 #I'd really love to have new people to hang out with and talk to #having a little friend group brings me so much joy #especially if it's all people that i trust and just really enjoy being around #hearing from and spending time with my friends is like the highlight of my day #and it's always nice to have more people to love #thats part of why i still use lex... it's not bad when it comes to just chatting with people #absolute garbage for hookups. but just trying to talk to people? its great #and pretty chill #and even if I don't talk as much as I'd like to bcuz of burnout + chronic illness flareups it still warms my heart to see the same ppl- #-interacting with me #like. ah yes i remember u. its good to see u again #and people are usually so sweet and helpful #esp if its people you already know are kind and compassionate people. warms my heart to have support no matter how subtle #getting to interact with my local community has been really healing #its good to have a reminder that there's still lgbt ppl who actually care about each other and want solidarity #and are vocal about their support #including for the people who need it most. it just makes me all that much more proud to be a trans lesbian #with every lgbt person i meet even if we don't wind up being like long-term friends or anything- #-i usually remember all of these folks fondly #don't doubt the impact of your presence even to someone you barely know #a lot of people will remember and care about you even if its in a distant kinda way #being perceived and existing in the minds and lives of other people doesn't have to be a scary thing

hiiiiii corey <33 I just want to pop in and say that I feel you, and navigating conversations around christianity can be super difficult as it has been (and still is) used for a tool of colonialism and has hurt Many People but also is simultaneously incredibly personal as your religion. I’m also christian!! and this is tricky for me as well. but yeah you’re doing great <33

hi ophe my beloved <333

yeah, that's the hard part about talking about christianity:/ i've taken a lot of literature classes at school that have gone into the harmful process and aftermath of christianity as a tool for colonialism, and i'm very grateful i've gotten to read them because they were incredibly eye opening and got me to think, you know? i do try to learn the history and stuff because it's important!

oh! i didn't know you were also a christian!!! thank you, i appreciate it <3 y eah. that exactly 😅

#ophe tag #hello lovely!!! sorry for taking forever to respond i wasn't in a great place yesterday already because of my period and stress and this #made it worse so i kind of just. didn't really go on tumblr the rest of the day which was. definitely for the best😅 #and it sucks because a lot of christians are actually pretty great people who support queer people and try to be anti-racist and such but #the ones who use the bible to justify hatred are the loudest and the ones with the most power and i Hate it #i mean i know it's not Just the people in power and stuff but like. you know. fioiuygtfguioigtfyuiuhg #that first part isn't me trying to like justify like oh ophe actually i know that already it's just me feeling like i have to explain #myself or everyone's going to hate me lol but yeah s/o to rest. 18th century british lit and studies in global lit for teaching me about it #and yeah lol - didn't think i'd be navigating conversations about christianity with that rant post i was planning to delete after a couple #minutes but. i guess i did🤪 #anyways thank you for this it was very nice to hear <3 #corey rambles:)

Are there some things you dislike about how the show/series/etc. portray the character you have picked up? If so, what? (looking specially at the sequel and the prequel)

Hi, friend! Thank you so much for your question. I have so, so many thoughts on this!

So, it totally depends on the basis of what you're interpreting for. For instance, there is no way that any extension of the original film is canonical in any way. There's so many continuity errors in the extended media, that the idea any of them seamlessly integrating with the 1989 feature is kind of a joke. But!!! In terms of Ariel's character, there are definite winners.

To start off on a high note, I think the original animated series which ran from 1992-1994 was able to keep her in character pretty well. It's actually the only media outside of the original movie that I actively recommend to other people. Now, there are definite flaws in her portrayal here. Namely, I think it's because the series was written for a younger audience than the original feature. So Ariel's a little bit sanitized, a lot of the fire was taken out of her belly, the LGBTQIA+ subtext is pretty much glossed over, etc. I also think it kinda erased her being alienated from society, as we see in the original, by giving her a lot of friends (Urchin, Archimedes, even her sisters to some extent) which potentially open up plot-holes (for instance, if she knew Gabriella prior to the events of the first film, why wouldn't she at least attempt to sign to Eric in the original movie?). But I think it's pretty obvious that these characters were introduced for the purpose of worldbuilding, so it's pretty forgivable. Also, even though her character is treated with kid gloves comparatively speaking and Jodi definitely adds a sugariness to her voice that isn't present in the film and I don't love, it's all the better for immature critics who said Eric was Ariel's primary motive as he isn't given a leading role in this production and they don't even interact. Also, not for nothing, but the television show had such incredible animation for Ariel and even a number I think might be better than Part of Your World...also, outside of the show, I think the books that came out anywhere between 1989 and 1998 were able to capture Ariel. Other than that, Ariel is always written out of character.

Let's start with the second movie, because...yikes. So, I think it's important to remember how much of the LGBT experience is baked into the fabric of The Little Mermaid lore. The original author was gay, Howard Ashman- who pretty much spearheaded the 1989 production- was gay, and most of the creative team was. That energy wasn't present in the second film and you can definitely tell. For starters, the writers had to scrap together to find a way to bring us back to the sea, considering 'Mermaid' was in the title. Except, instead of continuing with Ariel as the titular character, we get...her daughter? Almost immediately, Ariel contradicts all of her attitudes and actions in the first. Kind of like Peter Pan, Ariel is very much the spirit of youth in the first movie and, thus, hasn't been ingrained with as many prejudices and bigotries as her much older father. In this second film though, she seems to parrot all of the parenting styles he had, which previously traumatized her, and she stands for none of the things she did in the original. The entire plot point of building a wall doesn't even make sense? In the first film, Ariel saw Ursula's magic and how it was capable of transforming her into a human from a mermaid, and how Ursula turned herself into a lovely maiden and transported herself to land. How is a wall, which her daughter is seen easily swimming under, supposed to protect anyone??? Also, Ariel's entire struggle in the first movie was the fact that no one ever listened to her. She felt she had to hide herself from her family and that, when she did speak up, she was either punished or ignored entirely. Why would she just repeat this ineffective way of parenting with Melody? Effectively, I think Ariel goes from the soul of a tortured gay teenager who's waiting to experience life for themselves after being stifled and repressed and forced to be closeted into a strange suburban conservative mom whose restrictive parenting styles literally make no sense and just cause their child to rebel even further. I also think that, because this film tries to rehash the events of the original, they show land and Ariel as being stuffy. Even the scene with Ariel going barefoot and soaking inside the water that's trickling through the palace walls...it so goes against the Ariel we fell in love with in the original! "Legs are required for jumpin', dancin', strolling around...wandering free...betcha on land, they UNDERSTAND, bet they don't REPRIMAND THEIR DAUGHTERS." So, why did they turn her into a Karen with a tight bun and an uppity dress who can't understand her daughter if her life depended on it??? But, surprisingly, I have less positive things to say about the third movie...

Ariel's Beginning has the most absurd premise for a film that I've ever heard of in my entire life. Banning music??? I don't think I'll ever wrap my mind around the fact that someone's brain was capable of coming up with such a disturbingly horrible plot, much less that they worked for Disney and were paid for this contribution??? It makes NO sense to me. And while the second movie at least featured some of Jodi's best singing in Down to the Sea and For a Moment, Ariel's Beginning has only one Ariel song. One that isn't even that good tbh. Also, let's push continuity errors aside. Like the fact that they inexplicably changed the birth order of Ariel's sisters, the way Ariel and Flounder met (which btw is crazy considering the third movie is produced by the same studio that brought us the series, which also had the first meeting between Ariel and Flounder shown), and they don't even go into Ariel's fascination with humanity or its genesis. I'm perhaps most offended by the fact that this film tries to focus on music and presents an Ariel who's even more passionate about music than she is about the world above. This drives me mad, because it gives light to all those criticisms about Ariel giving up her voice- "her one talent"- for a man. It's also so strange to display in a prequel, considering the opening of the original movie shows Ariel absent at her father's concert. If Ariel cared about music so much, why would she miss this concert? Why would she put so much work into overturning the music ban in the first place? Jodi Benson herself has gone on record and said this is the one production in which she entirely disagrees with Ariel's characterization. Here's the thing: Ariel in the original film doesn't care about music. She doesn't even really care about her voice.

Ariel's voice in the first film is inconsequential to her experience as an Atlantican. One of the first things we see her tell her father is: "If you would just listen!" While they acknowledge she has a beautiful voice, no one ever listens to her if she isn't using it in one of Sebastian's concerts. She clearly has no interest in this, because she'd much rather go exploring or learn about humans. And to ignore this pivotal aspect of her character kinda makes it look like her obsession with humans is "just a phase" (which feels homophobic if you subscribe to my LGBTQIA+ subtext), just as her obsession with music was. It also makes her giving up her voice to Ursula so hollow. In the original movie, no one listens to Ariel. King Triton turns a deaf ear to her- even when she's crying for him to stop violating her by destroying her Grotto, when she tries to stand up for herself or present her point of view everyone turns the other way, and even when she's in love with Eric after rescuing him, her sisters seem to be oblivious to what's really going on. Want to know why? Because she didn't tell them. She doesn't trust them, she thinks they'll out her. To live fully in her authenticity, she has to resort to hiding in a underwater cavern which is unseen to the outside world. She has a natural talent for singing, but nowhere is it implied that she values this or likes it at all. It's something others put on her. Her actual voice doesn't help her in getting closer to her goal of being human or even being understood. She honestly is more herself than ever when she's voiceless. When she's on land, with Eric, we see her excitement, her love for the world around her, her sense of adventure, and everyone's able to understand her without a single word. I could keep going forever, but hopefully this answers your question!

Also, I write Cinderella, and I've been asked on that account how I feel about the Cinderella sequels (specifically the third movie, which so many people love). I feel differently about both, since with the Cinderella movies, I still think they make her likable but they capture a totally different character than appears in the first. She isn't consistent, and the third movie is enjoyable on its own, but doesn't make sense as an extension of the franchise and isn't representative in the slightest of Cinderella as a character. The Little Mermaid 2 and 3, by contrast, has great musical moments but other than that should be entirely disregarded as they aren't enjoyable, get Ariel out of character, and make so many glaring inconsistencies and create plotholes that don't need to be there, almost leaning into unwarranted criticisms of Ariel’s character as opposed to further establishing her.

I'd Fight The Devil

Alastor x fem! reader

Background: (Y/N) is the elder Morningstar, and wants to fix her relationship with her dad. But her dad hates her boyfriend.

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 - Finale

Allusions to sex, actual sex, angel being angel, and cannibalism

_____

Angel spit out his drink, "You're with Alastor?!"

"Yeah, thoughts?"

"And prayers, girl," Angel could never imagine a sweet girl like (Y/N) getting it on with the Radio Demon himself.

But everyone has their kinks, he supposed.

Alastor manifested behind her, and she immediately felt his presence. Pressing herself against him, he leaned into her warmth and kept his arms around her shoulders.

"How was your day, mon amour?"

"It'll be even better," She trailed off, turning around to face him, "when we meet my dad for dinner."

Silence.

And not even radio silence.

"Not to be rash, but I'm sure your father would sooner see my head on a pike than on my body," Alastor adored the fact that she was mending their bond, even more so when Lucifer makes the effort.

But announcing their relationship to him?

He could see it ending in flames.

"I know you two don't get along, but I thought a nice dinner might smooth things over."

"And if he disapproves of us?" He lifted her head upwards with his finger, bemused as to what her answer may be.

"Then he'll have to get used to it," (Y/N) replied, sending a shiver of excitement up his spine.

Only a feeling that the she-devil he was utterly obsessed with could provide.

"Ugh, can you guys go fuck somewhere else?" Angel said, "or at all? I can't imagine going a lifetime without dick."

Alastors eye twitch, "now that's our business, isn't it?"

"Okay, okay," Charlie spoke up, "you guys go get ready."

Charlie couldn't help but notice the change in Alastor. It had only been a few months, but being in her sisters presence alone has made him kind. Sure, the both of them would skin someone alive over an insult, but Alastor would rip out his own eyes if (Y/N) asked.

A perfect match.

(Y/N) dawned a black dress with a pearl necklace that Alastor bought for her. Well, she thinks he bought it but he actually stole it off of a fresh kill.

How sweet.

"Pumpkin! Oh look at you! You're as radiant as ever!" Lucifer fawned over his daughter as they made it to the restaurant, making it a point to ignore the red demon behind her.

"Catching strays?" Lucifer gestured to him.

"Lovely to see you again," Alastor retorted.

"Dad, why don't we go inside? And Alastor will be joining us," now, Lucifer didn't forget what he said. He recognized that the fearsome deer demon had the intention of claiming Princess (Y/N) as his own, but did his daughter return such feelings?

Honestly, Lucifer feared that.

Not it being Alastor persay, but his little girls being hurt.

He knew how awful it felt to go through the divorce with Lilith, and then her disappearance.

He didn't ever want his daughters to feel that way.

"So, Alastor, what do you do again?"

"I have a radio broadcast. Your daughter has actually helped me repair the studio after the attack," He laid his land on hers.

And Lucifer picked up Alastors hand.

And placed it away from hers.

"Uh, dad-"

"Look, if you two are fucking, don't tell me."

"Dad!" Her face burned red, "we aren't-that's not. . .I love Alastor, and he loves me. I want you to accept us both."

"Love? Whoa, whoa, whoa! Pumpkin, I don't think-"

"I'm not a little kid," She interrupted, "I'm a grown woman, and I'm able to make my own decisions. I want to be with Alastor because I love him. You may not think I know what love is, but I know it's what I feel with Alastor."

That's when he saw it.

That look.

Whilst (Y/N) was defending herself, defending their love, Alastor looked at her. Only her. And it was like he was staring at the nebula itself, seeing all its beauty in the Heir of Hell. His smile faltered, closing his mouth, and his eyes softened.

It's the same look that he used to give Lilith.

"If I ever hear that you've made her cry, or even laid a single hand upon her," Lucifer stared him down, "I'll make you disappear."

"A man true to his word. Looks like we have something in common," Alastor agreed, his hand back on hers. She gave him a smile, one that reminded him of Lilith.

The rest of dinner went off without any incidents. The small jab here and there, but no one died, and no one was stabbed. Lucifer learned more about his daughters business and how she lit up talking about it.

"You hardly ate, Alastor. Is something wrong?" (Y/N) asked when her father went to the restroom.

"Oh no, my dear. Just hungry for something else, is all," His eyes raked up her form, earning a cough from the she-devil.

Honestly, she didn't know where he was on his spectrum. She was fine never even being intimate, so long as he was happy, but this spark in his eyes lit a fire within her.

"O-oh. . .are you sure?" Believe it or not, (Y/N) had only had sex twice and both times she'd call it lackluster.

"I don't want you to force yourself if you don't want to," oh how innocent she was. Honestly, Alastor assumed he was aroace before he met the she-devil. Her ferocity - her chaos in fights, her genuine kindness, and her soul - itself brought out that spark.

There are moments where the carnal desire needs to be satisfied.

"Mon cher, I'd never ask if I didn't mean it."

That look, it made her softly gasp.

"Alast-"

"Ew."

Right.

Lucifer.

He showed up from his restroom break and found the pair giving eachother "fuck me" eyes.

"Could I eat my dinner without you groping my child?" Lucifer hissed, despite Alastor only touching her hand.

He blinked, thinking how he's never even groped a woman.

"Maybe."

Sick bastard.

_ _ _ ☆ _ _ _

"Fuck! Alastor!"

(Y/N) had never cum before, so Alastor being her first to ever do so and smiling away at her quivering legs made it so much better.

"Oh fuck. . ." She moaned weakly, his tongue slithering in and out of her to lick up every last drop.

"Al. . ." She was breathless, staring at his strained member. Reaching up to unzip his pants, he tutted as he grabbed her wrist.

"Al?"

"It's about you. Don't worry about me, amour," He purred, kissing the bite marks on her thighs.

"But you-"

Before she could detest further, wishing to satisfy him, the door opened.

"Oh my God, they were right! Alastor, you sly dog," Angel Dust was at the door, and Alastor quickly covered his beloveds' body with the covers before his horns started to grow and his back stretched.

"I'm going to kill you."

"Not before you make love to me, you're not," still in his demonic form, (Y/N) blew a gust of wind to slam the door shut.

Her body displayed on the bed, Alastor agreed.

"And stay in that form. It suits you."

why work on your fic when you can just make shitty art of one of the scenes in paint instead?

look I told you it was shitty okay? lol at least it's out of my system now so I can go back to actually writing this stuff- hopefully it'll turn out better when written down than when drawn...

#I was seriously debating wether I should post this or not- but now I spent time making it so here it is and now we can all move on #in my defense I had to use my mouse to draw cause I don't own a tablet #and drawing with a mouse ain't easy when you're not used to it! #I wonder if people can even tell what it's supposed to look like #I mean if people can't I guess I kinda succeeded? #cause how do you draw an eldritch horror that's supposed to be incomprehensible to the human mind? #and yes that is indeed supposed to be hobie on the ground #well technically- spoilers! not gonna elaborate on that for now #if anyone's even interested in this fic lol #well I'm gonna write it anyways <3 #my post #sadly lol #my art #??? if you can even call it that #also if you can figure out what's actually happening in this scene I need you to leave my home immediately- #cause there is no way you could know that without havig read the stuff I've written down so far- but I'd love to hear theories anyways!

[neil-gaiman]

Hate to be a bother, but I was wondering if there will be any flashback scenes in season 3? I've just been hearing rumors that there won't be, but it's not confirmed (I don't think) Anyways, if you see this or answer this, have a good day/afternoon/night ^^!

I love the idea that there are people out there who have read all the scripts to Good Omens and know what will happen. If you meet them, I'd love to see the scripts they've obtained, it would save us so much work writing them.

Any rumours you hear are people making stuff up. Feel free to counter with your own rumour.
