‎♡‧₊˚˗ˏˋ 🩰 ˎˊ˗₊‧‎♡

At the end of the day it’s those lesser known shows that really made your childhood (along with the ones everyone remembers)

Turned my ipod on for the first time in ages and there's so much music on here that i forgot about!!! I was looking for some audiobooks but now i'm listening to folk music.

omg! your typing of alicia vikander left me bamboozled. i thought she was FN. doesn't she have that squarish body shape that you mentioned models usually have? like, i agree that she looks more dainty than angelina but she still looks super athletic no 🤔

she does have a square torso but she looks tiny and small not athletic or model like. she is 168cms/5'6 inches but looks much smaller. she has relatively short limbs and a "petite frame" and very delicate features as well.

(L to R)

Marion Cotillard, Alicia Vikander, Olivia de Havilland, Laura Linney & Kirsten Dunst

All the above women (except Alicia ofc) are verified Soft Classics. You can tell how they all have delicate features and a harmonious yin-yang balance. No individual feature stands out but together everything looks harmonious.

she's not in the least athletic looking. which is why imo, she was horribly miscast as lara croft.

she looks like a ballerina (and she did study ballet for several years), very soft, very classic but has some yang to her although its not very pronounced.

also remember, having abs =/= to being athletic or being an FN

even when she's ripped, she still looks small and delicate tbh

there is no way in hell she could ever be FN

I also think her official height is an exaggeration and she's probably 5'4 irl

Changes, comfort, and favorites <333

Thank you Fable 🌸

Changes - what signals the changing of the seasons to you? 

The pain

Actually I see it in the color of the sky first, it changes when the season does, and so does the taste of the air!

Comfort - who is your go to comfort character?

My fiance has several OCs that are different manifestations for his love for me, that get paired with the Personas’ ocs. He has several to choose from for both Bunny and Dosy in particular, so you’ll often see multishippy stuff

Mine from his is Wolfgang, hes an older gentleman who tutors Prince Haze, and probably the one genuine guy in the whole fictional land of Herz. Hes very sweet and shy and careful with princess Rose. Like the perfect opposite to everything thats happened to her. Its a nice slow burn relationship and allll the Flower parts can use Rose to be close to him so thats nice :> in all the RPs they dont show up, its usually offhandedly mentioned that they’re at least happy together or married and traveling all over the universe together.

Theres also Mal too but hes not a character! Chime uses Malva to be close in-character. Hes a knight in the fantasy au and a shadow in the main au I think. Hes very protective and gentle with all the Roses too!!!! So a very similar situation as with Wolfgang, just not romantic. U should ask chime about him, i love him very much!!

Favorites - what’s your favorite show, movie, and book?

Hmmm lemme think

Show: classic Angelina Ballerina

Movie: the princess diaries 1 n 2!

Book: Fairy Haven and the quest for the wand

Elwood City Limits new episode is LIVE!

So, I wanna try something new. I'm getting back into Angelina Ballerina, and I've set myself a challenge to redraw 1 frame from each of the classic episodes in my style/an AU that I'm currently developing.

The first episode I watched was "Angelina in the Wings", and I chose the following frame.

This is just a few minutes into the episode, where everyone is getting ready and waiting for the sunbeams to come in for class.

This is how it turned out.

(I wanted to fit Henry in, but there was already so much going on. My apologies to anyone with Henry as their favorite character.)

something about me is that i LOVE classical music <3

I just watched a fuck ton of classic cartoons and dinosaur and shark documentaries. I fuckin loved shark week when I was 6 and still do - 2am anon

Omg, Shark Week... I've always wanted to watch that but for some reason I never really had to chance to, idk why... I watched a few classic cartoons too, but we only had a couple VHSs of them, so not as many as I would've liked...

When I wasn't busy with my dad's stuff, I think I basically just watched all newer cartoons, like whatever was on idk, Disney and CN. Jetix and Nicktoons were definitely my faves, though...🥺🥺🥺

And when I was older, stuff like Cake Boss and Bride things!

hugs <3

Hey. I think your Wish Me Away work is incredible and I wondered if you can add more ?

This was so long ago and I am so sorry it took this long to answer! But I will gladly add more!!

• Selina absolutely spoils Marietta, which surprises even herself, but she can't help but dote on her kitten.

• She is also fiercely protective of Mari which is why a lot of gossip magazines and tabloids immediately thought Marietta was her biological daughter.

• Bruce buys her and Marietta matching outfits a lot. Selina says they're tacky but she always wears them.

• When Marietta first called Selina, Mama, she cried for an hour straight while hugging her little kitten to her and refused to let go. This was also around the time that both Selina and Bruce decided they wanted to get married.

• Joker is conflicted about Marietta, on one hand he believes she is Bruce's and Selina's biological child and thus another distraction in his and Bruce's relationship and just another reason for Bruce to fight against his true self. On the other hand he finds her hilarious and just a tad, line just the tiniest bit, not even that visible really, just a smidgen, endearing.

• With their whole "rivalry" thing, Riddler of course told Oswald all about the child and Penguin loves the whole thing. He loves how it gets under Ed's skin but he also loves how it helps him get out of his own head sometimes. It helps him mellow out a little, his brain doesn't torment him on the absolute perfections of everything he does, he gets to act like a child and just...be, and that's why Oswald wants to meet the little "terror."

• All the siblings have movie marathons but they have special specific movie marathons that they have with just Marietta.

Dick: Disney + Looney Toons + Care Bears movies + Power Rangers

Jason: Ghibli + Collectible Classics + Don Bluth + Any Kenneth Branagh film

Tim: Scooby Doo (any and all) + Danny Phantom + Magic School Bus (yes he will sit there and watch every episode with her fight me) + Pokémon

Cass: Barbie + The Princess Bride + The Addams Family (all versions) + Winx Club + Pucca + Over The Moon

Duke: Martin Mystery + My Life As A Teenage Robot + Sonic X + SpongeBob + Courage The Cowardly Dog

Damian: The 10th Kingdom + Planet Earth + Tokyo Mew Mew + How To Train Your Dragon

Bonus

Steph: Totally Spies + Strawberry Shortcake + Kim Possible

Babs: Bill Nye The Science Guy + Angelina Ballerina

Most of these stay the same as she grows up but most change and the lists do get longer

• Local Goons are terrified of the toddler, every kidnapping attempt, every hostage situation, Marietta always gets out of her restraints

• Marietta does take ballet when she's older and her whole family does their best to make it to her recitals. None more than Cass.

Top 5 PBS shows

1. Berenstain Bears

This is a classic, no one can otherwise. If you don’t know why it’s rest, I can’t explain it to you.

2. Fetch with Ruff Ruffman!

This has to be more popular than I think it is, right? I mean it was just so good. I really wished I could have gotten chosen to be on it, but now I’m older I realize they may have been actors. But still, it looked like a fun competition/education show and it was good.

3. Arthur

Every day when you walk down the street, say hi to everyone you meet and I’m pretty sure I’m misquoting the theme song but it’s so iconic. I mean how else can the show survive over 20 years with its relatable life lessons, catchy music numbers and unforgettable characters.

4. Angelina Ballerina

Fun fact, it took me the longest time to realize everyone’s British in this. Idk, I thought it was a fascinating revelation. Anyway, this is such a sweet show and I also love the books too.

5. Madeline

Oui oui, it’s me. Who can not love this lovable redhead and all the adventures she gets into with Genevieve and the Bad Hat and more. A childhood cannot be complete with at least one viewing of Madeline.

Hon mentions: Cyberchase, Dragon Tales, Maya and Miguel, Sagwa the Chinese Cat, Martha Speaks, Zoombafo, Clifford, Wordgirl, Franny’s Feet, Wishbone, and Between the lions be

what are the six of the favorite children's classic books that you read? tell us why you love them?

i don't know if i have six! but here's my list (some of these probably aren't "classic" children's books so some people, but they're books i read all the time as a kid either by myself or with my family!)

"The Katurran Odyssey" by David Michael Wieger

it was normal in my house for all of us to spend time reading before bed, so when i was like 6, we started reading this book as a family. we'd all climb into my parents' bed and read a couple of pages every night together. it's one of my favorite memories as a kid, and one of the few i have of my family being all together

"Don Quixote" by Miguel de Cervantes

same reason as "The Katurran Odyssey", except my dad was really big on making sure that my siblings and I knew Spanish, so he read us a children's version of "Don Quixote", as well as comics like "Mafalda", "Tintin", and "Asterix and Obelix", all in Spanish.

"Stellaluna" by Janell Cannon

one of my FAVORITE books i read as a kid!! i still reread it to this day, and it just makes me so happy to read the story!

"Olivia" by Ian Falconer

i mean... it's kind of obvious why this is on my list! my parents used to get me all the books when i was younger, so i have pretty much every "Olivia" book, as well as like two different plushies!

"Sylvester and the Magic Pebble" by William Steig

this book makes me CRY now at i read it now, it's so sweet and just one of the cutest stories

"Angelina Ballerina" by Katharine Holabird

another set of books that i have quite a few of!! i love the illustrations, and Angelina was one of my favorite book characters growing up!
