Revenge of the Underrated
15. Help! I'm a Fish vs Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs
Tumblr media Tumblr media

Propaganda:
Help! I'm a Fish
"It's a Danish movie from the early 2000s, so it already has that uncanny valley feel of being unfamiliar to the average American viewer, and is almost entirely 2D animated with 3D only used to help instead of being the main medium. It's about 3 kids that stumble upon this scientist's lair and the youngest of them, Stella, accidentally drinks a potion that turns her into an aquatic animal (a starfish for her) thinking it was Kool-Aid (or lemonade, depending on the dub). Her brother, Fly, throws her into the ocean not realizing that the starfish was his transformed sister and he and his cousin, Chuck, drink the potion (a flyfish and a jellyfish respectively) so they can search for her in the ocean. Along the way, they accidentally drop the potion into the sea which gives sentience to a pilot fish and shark, the main villains. They then start to administer the potion to any fish they find.
I heard about the movie from a Youtube review and then watched it for myself that night. It was super fun and I could totally see this being a fever dream movie from some unsuspecting 8 yo. Part of the reason I say that is because the movie isn't afraid to have its dark moments. Fly gets slashed by a crab and almost DIES. Chuck has to do a risky mission in order to get Fly and Stella back to the scientist's lair so he can turn them back. Stella admittedly didn't do much, but she's 4, she gets a pass. She makes a seahorse friend, so that's good. The parents of the kids track down the scientist in his lair and confront and are ready to beat him up before he manages to show them the video of Stella turning into a starfish (the scientist planned to drink the potion on camera to prove it works, but forgot he had to get the antidote, leaving the potion alone and getting Stella's transformation on camera). There's even a moment where you think Chuck's mom straight up (accidentally) stomped on Fly's fish body before you find out it was just a stuffed fish and Fly is a human again.
As for the villain, he was a fun little sleezy villain, immediately creating a dictatorship with his newfound intelligence (he had a whole song about it). And Fly uses that against him by tricking him into drinking more of the potion to become smarter. Unfortunately, the potion doesn't just give fish human intelligence, it MAKES them human, and the last you see of the villain is him drowning and floating away as a half-fish, half-man igor. Horrifying but so, so awesome.
The animation is spectacular, the voice acting is great in both English and Danish (plus Chuck is voiced by one of the dudes from Breaking Bad), and with actual peril for the main characters (I forgot to mention that they would be stuck fish if they didn't take the antidote in the next 24 hours). I'm definitely going to find a CD of this movie to show/traumatize my future kids + niblings. "
Really cool animation, really interesting storyline and fun songs that stick to your brain like a fever dream
Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs
Red Shoes is a Snow White retelling that features a plus size princess and teaches that it's who a person is on the inside that matters. It contrasts Merlin, the male lead, who is normally conventionally handsome but cursed to be a "hideous" (actually quite cute) dwarf, a form he's desperate to escape, with Snow White/Red Shoes who is normally an adorable plus sized princess (ie not the traditional beauty) who is trapped by necessity in the form of a thin traditional princess, a form that she's incredibly uncomfortable with. It's ultimately about being your true self, loving who you are, and looking past appearances to find the beauty that lies within. Also, Patrick Warburton is the magic mirror.
It's an adorable, sweet movie that deserves more people to know about it! It was so fun and funny that after I watched it the first time, I turned around and immediately rewatched it with my husband (like he came in during the last 5 minutes, and we immediately started it over).

Honestly I can't overstate enough how much I wish Weiss' motivation for being a huntress came less from reclaiming the family name to instead saving her brother from their father's abuse. Like i know in story it's not weiss' job to do that but this stems more from me wanting to see her be an actual loving and caring big sister. So Weiss trains because she knows not all monsters have fangs and claws. Some wear mops for brushes on their upper lip and wear sleezy suits prefer vodka in lou of water.
Also many people don't have an important family legacy or name to "uphold" and her saving her brother or at least trying to become strong enough for him to rely on her seems like a better way to save their name since they are the schnee legacy. What's the point in reclaiming the name if it's only her? Winter never cared about it, but being determined to keep your siblings safe even if you have to make hard sacrifices now that's goor storytelling .
Like picture this for a second. The schnee manor is being attacked. Whitley thinks he's about to be devoured. But then it cuts away to the grim being slashed, weiss is holding whitely in her arms, maybe he's awake maybe he passed out but they touch foreheads and weiss either humorously (but slightly panicky) apologizes for being late or is genuinely thankful she got there in time and raffrims her promise to protect him. I just think the schnee storyline would be more meaningful if it was about all the siblings deciding no matter what they're family and love each other and fuck their parents issues and problems. Weiss wanting to be a huntress because she wants to protect her baby brother and can't bear anything else harming him just sounds better to me.
Besides she all but abandoned her name when she ran away in volume 4. The importance on family would make her leaving that much harder because her brother is still trapped but she knows eventually she'll come back to help. Leaving her name and legacy behind just doesn't have the same impact.
I would absolutely love if Weiss did all of this to save her brother. It mirrors how Winter did everything for her, and really does paint Weiss, especially Beacon Weiss in a different light. Yes she was racist and cold to people, and her racism especially should be called out without the weird “The White Fang killed board members so I’m justified in calling every Faunus a menace to society”, but a lot of her actions have that added meaning in that she’s putting everything on the line to protect Whitley.
She has to be the best to get Whitley out of their father’s grip. She has to be the leader, she has to get the best grades, she has to score the highest in training, Weiss Schnee has to be the best because only the best can protect them.
This also makes more sense than just becoming a Huntress to reclaim her name. How would being a Huntress help in taking back a company from your tyrannical father, at least any more than doing any other job? Weiss could just as easily play her father and take the Schnee name when the moment was right, just like Jacques did to Willow.
But to save Whitely? Weiss not only needs a stable career that she’s good in, which is fighting, but she also needs connections and the capability to take Whitely away from Jacques, and provide a safe environment for her brother. It also mirrors how Winter went into the military to get away from Jacques, and was unable to take her siblings, but Weiss went into Beacon to save her sibling from Jacques.

A Wish for A Better World Part 7: Strange Strangers
Part  of my time travel fix it fic. We get to see the Dairy Islanders!
Sorry this took so long. I kind of died last week and I couldn’t do anything. I am slightly better now.
Ao3 link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/25747657/chapters/63549790
Annabelle didn't really know what to make of the Candian entourage. She had practically stammered her way through greeting the king and the famous Knights of North Gumbar, who'd she'd heard stories of since she was a child. But the rest of the delegation was… eclectic.
She knew that the Dairy Islands was being extremely honoured as the first nation since the war to receive a royal Candian delegation since the end of the Ravening war. The nation had taken, understandably, on insular policies regarding its rulers after the death of the legendary Rocks sisters all in such close succession. Annabelle may not like playing court games, but she was competent enough at them to have heard the whispers about how the rapid deaths were almost suspicious, even during war time.
They brought many more people and warriors than would be deemed proper for a friendly visit as this was, but their letter asking for passage into their land had explained to House Cheddar the circumstances of their visit. The story had almost been to fantastical for Annabelle to believe, but the sight of the ships covered in frozen milk and people tinged blue from the frozen lands they came from quickly confirmed the story that the Candian royal family had sailed into the Unnamed Lands that sat North of Calorum to retrieve their long lost heir to the throne, who had managed to earn the loyalty of a fleet of ships. The two sailing ships that had accompanied the Candian battleship were awe-inspiring and to learn that there was a whole fleet residing in previously thought of as unpopulated territory was rather world-shattering for Annabelle, as a young captain who dreamed of sailing the seas and taming the waves.
 But that was not the path that fate had desired for her.
 She was to be chained to the Islands for her whole life; trying to patch together a small and struggling nation.
 Annabelle tried not to pout as she watched Primsy follow Princess Jet around the courtyard, listening wide-eyed as the girl expunged her stories of battle. Such behaviour would be unbefitting of a princess, and was far too childish for a girl of seventeen. Almost a woman grown as her father reminded her so often.
 Well, if she was almost a woman grown, then why wouldn't her father allow her to partake in the grown up discussions? Why was she stuck playing outside like a baby whilst the Crown Princess and King of Candia were shut up with Sir Moriss and her father whilst Manta Ray babysat them?
 She was pulled out of her bitter thoughts as the Princess Ruby sat down beside her on the bench that Annabelle had planted herself on.
 "You're looking unhappy," she observed, folding her hands over the Book of Leaves that rested on her knee.
 Annabelle had not seen the princess put it down since the delegation had been welcomed hours ago. It clashed with her outfit. Like her sisters, she wore a courtly dress, this one matching her skin perfectly whilst her sisters' ones did the same for them, and, also like her sisters, she wore weapons over the top of her gown. It was not unheard of in the fashions of the court, even if it was uncommon. It certainly made a statement: that the Candian princesses knew how to protect themselves.
 Annabelle would almost like to see that silent claim put to the test. Not that she disliked any of the princesses. Even if Princess Saccharina's charismatic presence was intimidating and she was slightly jealous of the star struck look in Primsy's eyes as she listened to Jet. She was just used to that look being reserved for her.
 Annabelle glanced to the side and dipped her head respectfully, "My apologies, princess. I did not mean to be rude."
 "That's not what I meant," Princess Ruby replied with a wave of her hand. "I just wanted to ask if you're all right. Things seem a bit��� tense around here."
 Annabelle narrowed her eyes at the princess. She thought that they'd been doing a good job to hide the tension that had clung to Lacramore for the past month and caused Annabelle to barely speak to her father. Ever since…
 "I assure you, things are fine, Princess Ruby," Annabelle answered, perhaps slightly terse.
 The princess smiled and shrugged. "I'm sorry if I was prying. You just looked like you needed to vent."
 Annabelle raised her eyebrow but didn't comment, instead looking back over at her cousin and the other Rocks twin. "Why aren't you over there?"
 Princess Ruby shrugged. "Jet seems to be doing a pretty good job of entertaining your younger cousin. Besides, I was feeling a little tired."
 Annabelle's gut twisted as she remembered her father mentioning that the two younger sisters had been reportedly quite severely injured in whatever altercation the Candians had found themselves entangled in up north.
 "Are you alright? Do you need anything?"
 Princess Ruby shook her head. "No, it's okay. Jet actually got hurt worse than I did. I just… overextended myself in my efforts to heal her."
 Annabelle nodded. She could not relate to being so truly devoted to the Bulb that she was bestowed the rare gift of miracles, but she could relate to wanting to protect a sister.
 "I understand," she said. "I would do anything I could to heal Primsy if she were hurt."
 "You hold a high regard for her, don't you?"
 "She is like a sister."
 "She is next in line for the throne, is she not?"
 "Yes," Annabelle confirmed, holding back a frustrated sigh. "Some days I think she is more suited to it than I would be."
 "You seem like a good leader. Your crew respects you greatly, as do the inhabitants of the castle from what I could see."
 That observation caused something inside Annabelle to fracture and she slumped her shoulder.
 "Thank you, princess, you are too kind, but I do not know if I will accept the throne," Annabelle confessed.
 Princess Ruby frowned. "Why?"
 Annabelle bit her lip, but found that once a little bit of her confession was out, the rest came flowing with it. "I have accepted that I must give up thoughts of adventuring the seas. I know that I can content myself with taming the Milk seas around the Islands. I wouldn't be the first princess to rule from aboard a deck. However I… I.."
 She took a deep breath, feeling it hitch in her chest. "Lord Carior Swiss has reached out to my father with an engagement proposal and my father is going to agree and I just can't!"
 Her chest was moving faster now, up and down as her breathing became more erratic, even as she kept her voice low enough to not draw attention to their shadowy corner of the court yard.
 "He's over fifty and he's sleezy and he makes my skin crawl. Father knows I do not care for men and he said it would be alright but after mother and with him being so unwell, he says that I will need to make sacrifices for the good of the Islands. And I know that House Swiss are one of the richest and most influential houses, but I just… I can't do it. I will not marry him! Even if that means that I will not marry anyone and forfeit my right to the throne."
 She was breathing heavily by the end of her tirade and glanced to her side to see Princess Ruby staring at her, mouth agape.
 Annabelle sniffed and straightened up. "Apologies, princess. That was rather undignified. I didn't mean to burden you with my petty problems."
 Princess Ruby quickly should her head and placed a hand on Annabelle's arm comfortingly.
 "I don't think they're petty," she said sincerely. "I understand."  
"You do?"
 The Princess nodded and squeezed Annabelle's arm slightly, sending a pulse of warmth up it and straight into Annabelle's chest. "I do. I am prepared to devote my life to protecting Candia, but that? I couldn't imagine… I don't think I could do it either."
 Annabelle swallowed back a wave of emotion as she ducked her head, peaking at the red liquorice through her eyelashes. "You truly think that?"
 "I do," the princess confirmed.
 Then she reached down and plucked something out of the shadows of the bush that was at the end of the beach turning around to reveal a sleek purple cat that looked as if it was some form of soft, dyed chocolate.
 "Do you want to cuddle Cerridwen?" she asked, already offering the creature out to Annabelle.
 Annabelle blinked as she reached out and accepted the cat without even really thinking about it. "You named her Cerridwen?  After the Lacra goddess?"
 The princess smiled and nodded. "Yes, the Goddess of rebirth and knowledge."  
Annabelle looked into the princess' eyes, who met her gaze unflinchingly. True, Cerridwen's many domains included rebirth and knowledge, but she was most prominently known as the Goddess of magic and change, with her secondary traits as the goddess death and rebirth. Both. But Annabelle suspected that the princess already knew that.
 "May I say, you have very fine taste, princess," Annabelle complimented, running her fingers through the silky fur as the cat curled up in her lap ad began to emit a low purr that caused some of the tension to melt out of her shoulders.
 Princess Ruby's eyes gleamed. "Why thank you, Captain Annabelle."
 Annabelle grinned.
 -----
 Amethar looked at his old friend and felt his heart twist.
 In his memories, Tarthur raced across a deck, knocking enemies overboard and slashing his opponent's throat. He stood tall as he commanded fleets and strategised attacks. He grinned mischievously as he sent Manta Ray and Morris after the Candian troops to act as the Dairy Island representatives in the battles that occurred on land. He was cheerful, vibrant and full of life.
 Amethar was struggling reconcile his memories with the man that was standing in front of him. Tarthur's skin was tired and wrinkled and Amethar could see wear it was hanging loosely on his skin. The Prince of the Dairy Isles didn't stand as tall as he Amethar remembered, his shoulders sagging slightly with some invisible weight and his arms not imbued with the strength and dexterity that they had been a decade and a half ago.
 The only other Dairy Islander in the room, discounting the guards, was Sir Moriss and Lady Butter, who were the prince's closest advisors. They were outnumbered by the Candians, since Amethar had brought Theo, Lapin and Saccharina to the meeting.
 He had offered her to allow her closest advisor (right hand? Second in command? Girlfriend? Amethar didn't quite know their relationship, but he felt that he didn't quite know his oldest daughter well enough yet to ask), but Saccharina had sent Gooey and Swifty to watch over her sisters alongside Sir Toby and a contingent of the knights as they played in the gardens with the princess and duchess.
 They had all been on edge ever since Cal - no Cruller, that fucking bastard didn't deserve Amethar's familiarity - pulled his disappearing act. He had been cornered by knights and marauders alike, with Amethar levelling Payment Day at his throat, but then he had pulled something out, a frozen slushie artifact stolen during their raid on the Tomb of Cold when Saccharina had retrieved the Winterscoop. He'd crushed in his hand and disappeared before their very eyes and no one, not even Ruby (who Amethar was beginning to suspect had changed even more than he had previously thought, he had heard the whispers about her command of magic and, though she was generally discreet about it, he had seen her whispering to shadows and to a seemingly random assortment of people. He tried desperately not to think about how starkly that reminded him of his closest sister).
 Amethar was sought of surprised that Saccharina hadn't spoken up yet. She had apparently heard some 'disturbing rumours' from the sailors that had had her scowling and she was not one for holding her tongue in the face of injustice (a good skill in a queen, and one that Caramalinda would need to hone so they didn't accidentally start any wars with Ceresia or Vegetania). However, Saccharina had been subdued over the past day. They had gone to visit Catherine's grave before they had visited the capital, just the two of them with Theo and Gooey keeping watch from the shadows. Saccharina had only shed a few tears, but she had buried her face in his chest when he reached out to hug her.
 Amethar, himself, had had close to a month to come to terms with his first love's death. And he had loved Catherine, no matter how immature and naïve that love had been. He couldn't say if he'd have continued to love Catherine. They had barely known each other, both wrapped up in passion and giddiness and the fact that either of them could die any day. But his memories of his time with her were happy, and he could confidently say that he was proud of the daughter that had come from their union, even if he did not know her nearly as much as he would like.
 He could see what Ruby had been talking about. Saccharina would be a good ruler. She had sat through lessons with the girls on their way back, not grumbling, even though she was taking classes with girls six years her junior, and not complaining when she'd needed help from sad girls. Amethar was proud of all his daughters. Jet and Ruby had welcomed Saccharina readily and had assisted her where she needed help, both of them eagerly listening to her stories of battles and magic and hardship within the realm that they had been ignorant of. His girls would be good for Candia, in the same way that his sisters would have been good for it.
 Now, it was his job to be a good role model for them and to make their job's easier when they eventually took them up. He had always thought that day would be so far away. That he could let his girls be naïve and joyful and innocent as long as they wanted. He had wanted so badly to just let them be children. But that wasn't their lot in life. And he could never know what the new day would bring. His daughters were the princesses of Candia and they needed to be prepared accordingly. Somehow, Amethar was the last one to learn that lesson.
 He needed to do a lot of grovelling to Cara when he got home. They both knew they would never love each other, not in the way that they were both looking for, but he was tired of the painful gap between them, a chasm that he'd allowed to be filled with resentment and bitterness over the years.
 Amethar looked around at the silent room, and back to the way that Tarthur was staring out the window, a distant look in his eyes as he observed the courtyard below where Jet was standing on a bench, giving some sort of impassioned speech to an awed Primsy and an amused Manta Ray.
 Well, if he was going to be king, then he would need to start doing some of the hard things that he had always avoided.
 "What happened to you, Tarth?" he asked, ignoring the way that Theo stiffened slightly, the closest approximation of disapproval that the gumby bear would allow himself to outwardly show towards Amethar.
 Tarthur's eyes snapped to Amethar and he blinked a few times before he answered, "Life, my old friend. Life is what happened to me."
 Amethar nodded. "I suppose if the fight doesn't get ya, life will eventually."
 Tarthur chuckled, which turned into a light cough before he nodded. "Aye, Amethar. You're right."
 Amethar smiled. "Bet that comes as a surprise, huh Tarth?"
 Tarthur chuckled again, managing to get to the end of this one without mishap.
 They both sobered quickly though.
 "Something else is happening, isn't it?" Amethar asked, getting straight to the point. He had never been very good at having hard conversations, and it would be impossible for him to approach them with anything but bluntness. They were painful enough without him having to parse fancy words.
 All three Dairy Islanders grimaced and then Tarthur glanced to his side and Lady Butter started to explain in her lilting tone, the situation of the Princess. When she got to the end of her story, Amethar looked to the prince, who's gaze was down turned, not meeting Amethar's wrinkled forehwead.
 "Tarth," he said, feeling something in his chest twist. "You can't do this."
 Tarthur sighed, his entire back hunching. "I have to Amethar. I have no choice. House Cheddar isn't exactly in a position to refuse the offer of such a wealthy and powerful house."
 "You can't really expect your daughter to do this?" Amethar couldn't imagine any progeny of Tarthur's accepting such restricting chains.
 "The princess will do her duty," Moriss said firmly, with a confidence that Amethar knew was faked. "She will do what is best for the kingdom."
 "She'd abdicate before she agreed," Amethar countered. He'd seen the gleam in the girl's eye, the confidence she'd commanded as her ship had welcomed the Candian entourage and led them into port. People don't just give that up. Not unless there was truly no there was truly no other option.
 Both Lady Butter and Moriss recoiled at his statement. The lady gasped as Moriss shook his head in denial.
 "She would not abandon the Islands like that," Moriss said. "She loves her people."
 "She's seventeen. You're asking her to throw her life away."
 "It is for the good of the kingdom! It's the best course for our future."
 "And she's just a child! She doesn't deserve this."
 A deadly silence fell into the gap between Moriss and Amethar as they glared at each other. Amethar could feel the tension behind him and knew that Theo had his hand on the Battlepop.
 "Maybe her abdicating is the best course of action," Tarthur murmured, drawing the attention of everyone in the room.
 "Your highness -" Lady Butter began only to be cut off by her prince.
 "We cannot afford to get into a scuffle with House Swiss. We already have too many houses slipping from our control. We would have a virtual civil war on our hands if they rebelled," he explained and then looked up at Amethar, his eyes glassy. "But I love my daughter. I don't want to see her with someone like him. You know, Jane and I thought that she could use the old magics to summon a child when she was younger, regardless of who she married. But we all know that the Church wouldn’t stand for it in this day and age. The only way she could really be happy is if she abdicated. Primsy is still far too young for a courtship and, regardless, she will be less of a target than Annabelle and she already fancies herself half in love with some priest so she will be far less desirable."
 "Not having a Cheddar on the throne would destabilise the Dairy Islands," Moriss said.
 "If the Islands need to be held together by this sham of a union then it doesn't deserve to be held together!" Tarthur replied fiercely only to break off into a coughing fit that had him almost bending over.
 Moriss was immediately at his side, helping his prince and supporting him.
 Tarthur took a deep shuddering breath as he straightened. "I'm dying Moriss. I don't want the last thing I do to make my daughter miserable."
 Both Amethar and Moriss looked away at that. Amethar found his throat too sticky with emotion to offer up any words of comfort.
 A moment later, he was startled as someone cleared his throat loudly from right behind Amethar's shoulder. Amethar jumped, along with everyone else, and glanced to the side to find Lapin standing there, his arms folded within his purple foil robe.
 "Forgive me, your highnesses," the chocolate bunny said, his eats twitching. "But, I may have a solution."
 Amethar raised an eyebrow. "Yes, Chancellor?"
 "The Princess Ruby was discussing an interest in strengthening Candia's inter-kingdom relations. Candia and the Dairy Islands have always had the strongest alliance of any of the other kingdoms in Candia, but a formal renewal of said alliance couldn't hurt."
 "Your solution to my daughter being married off… is to marry my daughter off."
 Lapin frowned and oh, Amethar liked that expression, the one he always got when he was frustrated with the girls but didn't want to show it. It usually occurred when they were being deliberately obtuse.
 "Not a formal proposal, just a loose discussion, a negotiation if you will. There are no nobles of an appropriate age or status for the Princess to marry at this stage, but she will need to marry within in a decade of her taking the throne, regardless of whether she accepts the throne or not and there are several houses with children who will be eligible within the next ten years. A promise of a marriage alliance with Candia would certainly be grounds for dismissing any internal proposals. And it would give her enough time to find someone she could be happy with."
 All three Dairy Islanders frowned.
 "It could work," Sir Moriss mumbled.
 "It definitely could," Tarthur agreed. "There has not been inter-kingdom marriage alliances of such a high level in decades. A promise such as this would be more than enough reason to refuse House Swiss."
 Lady Butter frowned worriedly, "Lord Swiss will not be happy."
 Tarthur waved his hand. "Lord Swiss will have no leg to stand on, Grace. Not legally."
 "And a formal alliance would be an actionable reason to send Candian fighters to the Dairy Islands," Theo said. "To strengthen their skills in water battles, of course. It would be a nice inter-kingdom training effort."
 Amethar laughed. "I like what you're thinking, Theo."
 Tarthur looked at Amethar, his eyes widening. "You would do that?"
 Amethar clapped him on the shoulder, gently so as not to harm him further. "Of course I would. To help Candia's closest ally and to help my friend. I watched you shit and piss. I'm not just going to leave you hanging out to dry."
 ----
 Ruby had enjoyed her time on the seas, but she was glad to be home.
 She allowed herself to join in on Jet's excited chattering as they walked up from Dulcington where they'd docked. They both chattered away at Saccharina, telling her of everything she could expect from the castle and her knew life and Saccharina listened amiably as if they hadn't already had this conversation at least five times before, a huge grin on her face.
 Gooey, Swift and Jonbon were walking with them with the rest of the sailors and marauders helping the boats get settled before they would arrive at the castle to be redirected to their quarters. Their mother had already begun construction of their own dwellings, only a little ways away from Dulcington, growing the small town considerably.
 The exhaustion had finally faded from Ruby's bones after weeks of feeling faint after the spell and though, she was unable to banish the constant edge she felt, always needing to do something to help, she was able to allow giddiness to overtake it for a time.
 She smiled widely as the gates of the castle opened and her mother stepped out, followed by a contingent of her own guard, regal and beautiful and smiling warmly at all of them.
 Behind her was a figure that Ruby had missed dearly in the past month.
 "And may I introduce the new Ward of the King, Count Wilhelmina."
 Liam stepped forward but his eyes were plastered on Ruby.
 "You're really here."

Misc endless AUs. I have created an abomination
@colson-sixx @javiersdick @sweet-mother-love
This isn’t even all I just got bored of typing them out.
Weird sleezy 80s AU Nikki/Axl
“Don’t mind Axl, he’s really just here to make sure I make it back to the hell house.”
Nikki does the opposite and spends most of the night trying to flirt with Axl. Nikki decides either Axl is pretending to not notice it, or Axl is really really oblivious.
If slash wasn’t there he’d just be blunt and ask for a blow job. Because there’s no way Axl is straight ( probably bisexual ) because leather pants and a leather vest just scream assertive bottom.
Axl nurses one rum & coke the whole time “watching slash get drunk is hilarious, that’s really why I’m here. He’s woken up in an alley before and still made it to the hell house in one piece” so Nikki drinks a ⅓ of the booze he normally would, because he’d like to remember the pretty ginger.
Nikki agrees, Slash had wrapped his arms around Axl, more than once, and demanded they get a snake like a child demands candy. “No slash, we can’t afford that.” “Izzy would get a snake” “he’d call you crazy and walk away”
Later Slash had come back to the booth drenched, apparently he’d hit on a girl who didn’t take it well. Axl didn’t hold back his smile as slash complained about the chick, Nikki decided at that point that Axl had a great smile.
Slash ends up getting so shit faced to the point where he can’t stand by himself and Axl has to help him home. Axl turns down Nikki’s offer of paying for a cab for them “come on Axl, I’m a rockstar money ain’t a thing.” But accepts Nikki’s help in carrying slash home though.
So they put slashes arms over their shoulders and practically walk him to the hell house. Nikki laughs and remarks that Motley Crue might as well be pros at this. ‘Oh yeah?’ ‘Yeah, once Mick and Vince had to get me back to the hotel like this. But they were both absolutely out of their minds. I’m pretty sure at least one of them had just done four lines of coke. Getting back to the hotel in once piece was a miracle.’
as it turns out is a ten minute walk back to the hell house, and Nikki wishes it had been longer. If it had been longer he totally could’ve gotten with Axl.
They say goodbye at the door and Nikki feels like a stupid kid in middle school saying an awkward goodbye to a crush. Vince probably had a point when Vince talks about his attachment issues.
Nikki ends up going back to the bar and drinking till the bartender cuts him off, and if he brings a pretty ginger lady home that doesn’t mean anything.
The fact that all the people he has sex for months later are pretty gingers doesn’t mean a thing. No matter how much people tell him that yeah it means he’s got a problem.
Vague AU: Axl Rose/DJ Ashba
Ashba had seen his fair share of fucked up people, musicians high on their own egos, women who only found self worth in shallow adventures having been led astray in their youth, men who never have bonds with their kids, those kids hurting themselves with rebellion, and that’s just the standouts. Ashba counted himself among the fucked up people, there’s no doubt he’s stuffed his feelings with drugs. All people with flaws that outweighed their strengths. Most would count the ever elusive Axl Rose, forever followed by drama and anger outburst, as the best example of that. The man who held the rock scene in the palm of his hand had blown it all. But Ashba knows that if they had ever had the chance to properly get to know Axl, they would understand he’s well worth the chaos. Axl makes his life better. Axl would go to the end of the world for those he cares about. Ashba feels blessed to be one of those. Ashba first met Axl through Nikki Sixx, who was ‘friends’ with Slash and Izzy Stradlin. He was the closest to a sober person at the party, and awkwardly agreed to get Crüe safely to their homes. Years later the two of them fondly looked back on the whole bizzare night. But at the time Axl was very uncomfortable over at it the time, the only part Ashba clearly remembers is waking up curled around him. The world outside would never understand, and he quite enjoys that.Life is easier with Axl.

Nikki Sixx/Axl Rose/Vince Neil Modern Semi Band College AU: featuring trans Axl ( female to male )
Axl Transfers to LA from Indiana and meets a wide cast of crazy people. And gets targeted by the intense duo of Nikki Sixx and Vince Neil all while trying to hide that he’s trans. ( prepare for a massive dump)
It’ll open on Axl’s first day at university in California, meets his roommate Slash who spooks him with Slash’s snake.
“So,” Axl pauses, “why do they call you slash.”
Slash scoffs and fires back, “what kind of name is Axl?”
“Fair enough.” Axl audibly gulps, defending his name is always horrible, it makes him wish he picked a different name but he likes it too much to change it. The tension is so thick it could be cut with a knife, until slash laughs and smiles.
“I’m just playing around man, I’ll tell you one day. “
Axl goes about his day constantly being surprised by how different things are in California compared to tiny Indiana. The plot really picks up in his music theory class where he meets Duff they get deemed partners for all future projects - who can’t read sheet music - so Axl desperate for friends offers to teach him.
In his song writing class (or maybe something vocal based, it’s not firm yet) he meets two people, Vince Neil and Tracii Gunn ( yes I’ve decided to use him ). Tracii saves him from an awkward encounter with Vince.
“Oh we got a country boy? Let me show you the wild side, it’s guaranteed to blow your mind.” He’s so attractive it almost melts Axl’s mind, part of him wants to go with the blond but the logical side reminds him that there’s no way him being transgender will go over well.
Tracii sits with Axl and the two really hit it off, and Axl gets invited to his show later that night. Needless to say, Axl is thrilled.
After his last class of the day he meets a short man, with extremely fluffy blond hair, (Steven Adler) who’s handing out flyers for a club. He practically shoves one in Axl’s hands and beams up at him, “Absolutely everyone is welcome!” And scampers off. Axl’s good day is ruined upon seeing it’s a flyer for a lgbt+ group, thinking oh damn am I that easy to clock?. But against his better judgement he still decides to go.
At tracii’s show he meets the really fucking weird duo of Mick mars and Tommy Lee. Tommy appears out of no where and shoves a drink in Axl’s hand, “you look like you need to unwound a little dude. Oh yeah, What hair dye do you use?” Tommy rattles on with little input by Axl, who is quite overwhelmed by him, until a short grumpy looking dude pulls tommy away. “I’m sorry about that, tommy ain’t good with boundaries.” And pulls tommy away.
Tracii’s set blows Axl’s mind and he knows then and there he wants to make music with Tracii. Then another band sets up, containing the short guy and Tommy, and to Axl’s displeasure Vince Neil. He’s upset at how good they are, despite being unpolished and messy it’s just so good.
After the show Tracii walks him back to the dorms, and happily finds out they’re only one floor apart and says Axl’s welcome anytime. Axl collapses on his bed, and falls asleep thankful he came to LA.
the idea for Nikki is for him to be a vague character for a couple of chapters, Axl hears wild stories of Nikki Sixx getting drunk and picking fights, also how good his music is. And all Axl knows is that he’s the bassist for Vince’s band. Then one day he finds a add for models, it pays okay and Axl needs the money. There he finally meets Nikki, who insists Axl is the closest to perfect he’s seen and flirts with him like crazy.
Nikki makes it clear he swings both ways, and Axl feels legitimate hope that he has a chance with Nikki. Nikki scrawls his number on Axl’s arm and with a wink tells him to call anytime.
Axl finds out later that Nikki and Vince are in a relationship and there’s no way he’s getting between that, then as if fate he goes to a gig the next week and all of Crüe whisper and point at him. Duff overhears their whole conversation, it’s hushed whispers of “I can’t believe he turned /both/ of us down. What the fucks his type?” Vince huffs and Tommy responds “it’d be nuts if he’s into guys like Mick.”
Finally Mick gets drunk enough to go confront Axl about it.
“My friends need to know what your type is, because it’s blowing their minds that you aren’t into them.” So Axl goes over to them and explains that he didn’t want to get in the middle of a relationship and he doesn’t put out easily. And assures them they’re very much his type.
“What, want us to wine and dine you? ‘Cause we’ve been watching you for months, and you’re the hottest thing on campus.” Nikki says, wrapping his arms around Axl’s waist. Nikki ducks his head down and licks along Axl’s neck and the grip on his hips is tight enough to be both hot and frightening. Then Vince steps forward, placing one hand on Axl’s face and running the other through his hair, Axl’s turned on but also terrified. If they find out he’s trans, they could kick his ass. Especially with the huge tommy behind them. Vince practically coos “how many dates till we get a taste of you?” Axl doesn’t answer, as Duff and Steven mercifully comes and saves him. The next day, after thinking about the two has kept him up most of the night, he shoves a piece of paper at Vince and puts his head down on his desk in embarrassment. The paper reads “Three dates to get in my pants asshole. I’m not a cheap date either” and his phone number. Vince laughs far too loud for Axl’s comfort. When class ends he’s got three messages from an unknown number. “Wine and dine it is then. We’re free this weekend, we could go see a movie? Unless that’s too cheap for a beauty like you.” Axl feels like his heart might burst from his fast it’s beating. Most of the movie is them trying to feel Axl up and he’s just constantly trying to keep their hands away from his crotch, he wants the attention to last as long as possible, because two extremely hot guys want /him/ it’s fucking nuts. They insist on walking him back to his dorm room, outside of his door they box him in. Vince kisses him first, it’s fierce yet sweet and Axl’s world melts away, it’s just Nikki pressed against his back and Vince’s sweet kiss. He’s legit pissed off when Vince pulls away, he pouts a little and Vince smirks. Before he can even think of an insult, he’s spun around and Nikki’s pulling him up for a kiss. Nikki kisses aggressively, biting Axl’s lip and forcing his tongue in Axl’s mouth. Nikki’s in Control and Axl can do nothing but just let it happen, thankfully it’s hot as hell. When Vince starts feeling him up and kissing his neck, he gasps, trying to figure a way out of this. Nikki starts trying to lift Axl up but Vince protests. “I can’t reach him like that, put him the fuck down.” Axl takes the opportunity to open his room’s door and flee from the two. He locks the door as they bang on the wall. “Come on! We weren’t going all the way, just wanted a little fun.” It takes Slash opening the door and threatening to call security on them for them to finally leave.

Soooooooo "Mr. Big" had to age and turn gray before I could see the appeal. Because the younger SATC "Mr. Big" just looked like the stereotypical sleezy, businessman slash adulterer that's in every soap opera or Lifetime movie. https://www.instagram.com/p/CXHCnHNF70H7Rn5X_H2IEhBfGSTZdX4VIMtf9Q0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hairstyle Bought!
I cracked and ended up buying gems in GW2 for a makeover kit so I could give my character a sexy long braid style that was only available through the makeover system. And I’d do it again! I’ve said before I would gladly pay money for awesome hairstyles and that’s what I did! 
For sure, there’s a good amount of sleeziness to holding makeovers behind a paywall, though a bit of that is alleviated by the fact GW2 has no monthly fee. If it were WoW or FF14 it’d feel scummier (and FF14 does just that with having to buy some hairstyles as part of an outfit on the pay store). But even so, if FF14 suddenly came out with Tifa’s OG outfit and hairstyle, I’d buy that in a heartbeat. We all have our price, and that just so happens to be mine. If it’s her movie outfit and hairstyle, though, they can fuck right off.
Aaaanyways, GW2 continues to be really fun. Guardian’s combat is nothing mind-blowing but it’s enjoyable. Greatsword has a leap and a spin2win attack and 1hd Sword has a teleport dash and a rapid slash, so they do look pretty flashy. I’m curious to see how the elite specializes change things up. 
I’ve heard and read their first specialization turns them into a ranged dps class which is fucking weird and apparently the community haaaated it. It’s not hard to see why either - when making a guardian, you think of paladins and protectors. You want to be up front and in the enemy’s face, protecting your team. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize ranged dps goes completely antithetical to that idea. I’m really not sure what Arenanet was thinking when they did that.
But they’ve since got a second specialization with the release of the second xpac that sounds like it’s a more tanky spec, so I’ll definitely give that a try and see what it’s like. 
That’s still aways off though. I just hit 70 and I’m waiting to see if there’s a winter sale before buying the xpacs that let you get the elite specializations. I’m tempted to level a Mesmer... and another Engineer >.> Augh, engineers are just so damn fun! Apparently their first elite specialization was a tank one, strangely enough. It fits more than guardians being ranged dps though, as they already have a “tank’ kit they can equip and can wield shields. 
Though again, for me, when making an engineer I wasn’t going “I wanna tank”, I was going “I wanna blow all the shit up with the biggest bombs and grenades I can get my hands on” soooo I dunno if that spec would gel with me. I’m willing to try it out though.
Anyways, enough rambling about GW2, baiiiii~
