Ice Age Fanfiction

I started writing Ice Age fanfiction with the thought that no one was going to read it. I had no idea there were fans out there. Although, I am a fan, so I should have suspected that I wasn't alone.

Ice Age: Collision Course (2016)

"Change isn't easy but it's apart of life"

¤°°◇°°¤

It has just now hit me - I'm rereading Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities - that there is a lot of Madame Defarge in the Scarlett's character concept/personality as well.

Bonus points for Cities to also have a character named Sydney in it as well! However, unlike Ice Age's Sid, Sydney Carton is a selfish man who grows beyond his selfishness out of love for both Charles Darney and Lucie Manette.

Sid the sloth wishes he could be as admirable!

after much deliberation I've realized ryoma needs a cute nickname to call shino. thoughts and ideas

These are all the things I want to grow and have the seeds for this year, though some things are missing from this list. I still need more soil, most of the produce goes to the senior center so if anyone wants to throw me 3 dollars for a bag of dirt it goes to a good cause, I also save seeds and distribute them to neighbors and some of the people at the senior center. This blog is my only income source as I am an unpaid live-in aide for an elderly woman. No pressure though. Also if anyone just wants to put gardening discussions in my inbox I am totally up for that!

How did cross “give birth” to Aim specifically?

By freeing him from his soul╰(*´︶`*)╯

Sure, it's not tearing in the literal sense or breaking it into small pieces heh, but the baby does push his way through the shell of the soul outward, stubborn and determined. ☆

The stretched and emaciated yet finally free soul gradually recovers, until it returns to its original form ♡_(:3 」∠)_

Bet it felt just like that XD

True! :'D Usually contractions start at night or early in the morning, but this moment cannot be predicted, so Cross had to wait a bit with food xp

Indeed, this is a long, tedious, energy-consuming process, which both [mother] and child need a good rest after ("úwù) zzz...

Cross was panicking for sure, so Dream had to stay calm and supporting for him, like a father he is, despite his own worries ( ᵕ ૩(>ω< ˵ )

As for Aim's name, they chose it together beforehand ( ˵•́ᴗ•̀˵)(˵•́ᴗ•̀˵ ) (note to self to draw–)

The fusion of souls is meant for reproduction, yep! This can be considered unprotected intercourse, as there's direct contact & energy exchange (´∀｀) There are also ways to enjoy it without fusion, though <3

Someday?.. (ㅅ´ ˘ `)♡

UPD:

Bonus points if Dream doesn't understand what Cross means at first and just ??? XD

Fair enough! *^* In labor, they usually confuse training contractions with real ones and are ready ahead of time, but the reverse situation cannot be ruled out :')

Tumblr doesn't let me to add more comments so—

Jann-the-bean: Ommgg the code word for the baby being born reminds me of the Third Ice Age movie (there’s a female mammoth) and she’s pregnant and the code word is “peaches” skip coward to a bit so she shouts different fruits trying to remember the code word until she shouts out “peaches!!!” and the (Dad Mammoth) is like “oh she gets cravings” then it’s like “wait.. peaches?!” And he realizes the baby is coming lol

That's it!! (≧∀≦)☆

here's a kind of strange ully edit for you

Self Insert Birthday Countdown Day 23!!

Ft. Maia from Ice Age!!

Maia is among the dire wolf who aren’t domesticated by humans. She is a part of a pack that rival the saber tooth tigers. Although as fate would have it, Maia and Diego first met as kids after wandering off from their packs. They kept their friendship a secret for years until Maia’s pack leader caught onto this and forbid Maia from ever going near the sabers. A couple more years went by and Maia’s pack come across human hunters who were chasing a family of mammoths. Maia’s leader orders the pack to go after the father, realizing it’s away from its family. Maia refuses to do so and leaves her pack for good. As she runs off, she stops when she runs into Diego. He tries to ask her what’s going on, only for her to continue running. For the next couple years, Maia wanders the forests alone, keeping herself hidden in fear of her pack finding her. One day, Maia is looking for something to hunt when she comes across a sloth. She pounces and grabs a hold of his neck, only for her to get pushed away from the sloth. Before she could attack the culprit, her eyes soften when she recognizes who had her pinned down. It was Diego. They unfortunately couldn’t catch up for long because as it turned out, there’s a huge flood coming their way and Diego along with the sloth Maia was trying to kill, Sid, two mammoths, Manny and Ellie, and two opossums, Crash and Eddie, are heading to a boat to avoid the flood. She is invited to tag along with the herd to which at first she rejects, but gives in after being convinced by Diego. I’ll keep this next bit of info brief, but by the end of The Meltdown, Diego and Maia start dating. Then Dawn of the Dinosaurs happens, Maia hears about Diego’s desire to leave due to him feeling like he’s loosing his edge, she gets pissed and the two break it off. After they get roped into finding Sid who was taken by an angry t-Rex mother, the two reconcile and get back together. Continental Drift then happens, Maia along with Diego, Manny, Sid and his granny are separated from Ellie and Peaches and now have to find their way back home. “What about 5?” That movie sucks it’s not canon in my AU lol

Timelapse:

Ok here is an official Ice Age ranking

Rankings + Explanations under the cut, starting from best going to worst. As always, this is all my own opinion, and you are free to disagree.

1. Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

This is heavily biased but also I think Ice Age 3 has the perfect balance between completely wacky and actual heartfelt moments in an Ice Age movie. It didn't go totally overboard, and Buck is a wonderful addition to the series. Who can forget the story about how he lost his eye? Simon Pegg absolutely chewed this role up, and he really makes the movie what it is.

Ellie isn't sidelined because she's pregnant, she's allowed to be badass, and Manny learns some important lessons about not always being the protector. One thing that sticks with me is that Manny misses the moment Peaches is born (only Diego is there). I know that can be, like, a huge thing for some people, but even so, he sees his kid and feels nothing but love and relief. He doesn't feel emasculated by having his best friend there instead of him or resentment for missing that moment or some other petty bullshit. It didn't matter to him, what mattered was that his family was safe. That fucking gets me, y'know? I think that's the perfect encapsulation of what he had to learn - like I said, that he can't always be the protector, but also that he can rely on others when the going gets tough and he can't be there or can't do anything. It's important to show that, I think. D'you get me? You get me.

As much as Scratte's existence is, like, a meme, her and Scrat's sideplot was great, too. The tango? The fucking tango? Hello? I love the tango. The tango is great. And so is the "Alone Again" sequence, it leaves me in stitches. Having the acorn be like an actual character was a great choice in this case.

Finally, it's very visually distinct to the other movies thanks to its new setting, and it actually goes out of its way to give us really cool shots sometimes (see Buck's story). It really sets itself apart from the other movies. Also, how can you beat fucking dinosaurs!? Living under the ice!? Still the coolest shit. AND, the cover of Walk the Dinosaur is STILL the best credits song in the series.

2. Ice Age 2: The Meltdown

This one is simply a treat. It's an amazing follow-up to the first movie - it's got higher stakes, more energy, and more funny moments, and rounds out the herd with Ellie and the possums. Queen Latifah does her job voicing Ellie perfectly, and she's a GREAT character. Beyond that, it absolutely nails the emotional moments, too. Goodnight Sweet Possums is just... it's such a great scene, scored wonderfully. Hell, this is probably the most iconic Ice Age movie. Food Glorious Food? Sid's Sing-A-Long? Hell yeah. And... God, that scene at the end, with all the mammoths? Chills. Chills every time. Even so, I feel like it doesn't quite hit that line of greatness 3 did. I'm blaming Crash and Eddie. I don't really like Crash and Eddie. Also, this a total aside, but the ending sequence with Scrat in heaven haunts me to this day. It's the worst I feel for him. Anyway.

3. Ice Age

I could never hate this movie. It's unique in the series for being the most serious of them all. And, it gave Blue Sky its big break (RIP, hope Disney dies now and forever). Really, its biggest crime is that it's just boring in comparison to the sequels. There are gags and hijinks and the whole dodo sequence, but everyone is way more serious. The plot is way more serious. I mean, the saber-tooth tigers wanted to kill the baby! That's fucked up! And it's different to the monsters in 2 and the dinos in 3 because they were thinking, plotting, all of that jazz. Also, it gives very solid foundations for all of the characters, which I think helps make the next couple of sequels so strong. Overall, not that much to say! It's Ice Age 1. The opening travel music is a total bop, and, of course, everyone knows Send Me On My Way. It's just a solid movie.

4. Ice Age 5: Collision Course

I went into this one expecting it to be absolute dogshit, given it's the last numbered sequel in the series. But it's... actually pretty good? My biggest gripe is that the feathered dinosaur side plot didn't really add anything substantial and could've been done away with. Like 3, it really embraced how ridiculous the plot was and did it pretty well, imo. Buck is back! Peaches' fiancée is GREAT, and bringing back everything to focus heavily on the actual herd and its dynamics was a very smart move. The pop culture references date the movie, though. Also there is a Jessie J sloth. Who is also a GILF. Scrat's plot turns into straight up hody horror at some moments. The song at the end of the movie is pretty good, though. Anyway, sure, it's obviously not the best movie ever, and it's totally ridiculous, but I'm glad I gave it shot.

5. Ice Age 4: Continental Drift

I just... ugh. I'm gonna be honest, when I was younger I watched this one over and over, and I don't know if I made myself sick of it, or if I wisened up when I got older, but this just... sucks. Separating the herd was a horrible choice. The plot on the mainland with Ellie and Peaches is TERRIBLE, which sucks because you go in excited to meet Peaches properly. Sidelining Ellie to begin with was a horrible idea, since we KNOW she's a badass, and having her in on the pirate plot could've ruled. Also, jumping from baby Peaches in 3 to teenage Peaches in 4 was a bad move. I think an adventure with a younger Peaches could've worked better. Generally, separating the mammoth family was really not a good idea.

Well, I can give this movie one thing. It gave us Diego and Sid kissing. And they LIKED IT.

Speaking of mammoths! Every single mammoth celebrity voice actor seemed to be chosen exclusively for the song at the end of the movie. Which would've been fine if the song didn't suck with all of them included, it's like a cacophany of chaos. The version with just Keke Palmer is so much better. That's just me though. Also Josh Gad was a fucking rat and I hated his incel ass, so glad he wasn't in 5. AND, the plotline involving the other mammoths sucked sucked sucked sucked SUUUUCKED. I don't know how exactly we'd do a plotline about Peaches wanting to fit in (then realising she and her wacky family is fine just the way it is), but this was NOT it. This would have been a better story to do after a movie has been made with a younger Peaches, after we become very familiar with her dynamic with everyone in the herd, especially Manny and Ellie. Generally having a movie like that between 3 and 4 would have prevented a lot of the issues - such as separating the mammoth family.

Overall, the pirate plotline should have been the main focus, especially because that way we could have gotten more Peter Dinklage. The pirates were sorely underutilised, which is such a shame, because they were a very interesting addition to the story.

If you'e gotten this far, thanks for reading my ramblings on this series!
