sometimes i think about those mornings just after the curse has been broken and adam waking up to warm sunshine and he just lays in bed looking at his hands for a while because he still can’t believe it’s real. he curls his fingers and wiggles his toes and he just feels all bubbly inside. he smiles and it feels weird. happiness feels foreign, peace feels wrong. but he lets himself feel these things for the first time in a long time. now that belle’s here, he finds it much easier to feel these things. he thinks fondly of his belle… how good it feels to call her his. he knows she’ll already be up and waiting for him in the breakfast room. he’s excited to see her. joy fills him and he embraces it. he gets out of bed and passes the mirror that’s no longer shattered. he sees his face and it still startles him. he sees a stranger, but a stranger he’d like to be some day. he blinks and fixes his hair and gets dressed. another day in a new, warm, sunny chapter.

Estuve viendo la bella y la bestia nuevamente, (no la version live action) y viendo la vestimenta y tecnología de la historia, deduzco que están en principios del siglo 19, en Francia, además parece ser que es una época post napoleónica, según Lumiere estuvieron 10 años convertidos y canónicamente el principe tiene 21 años, y se convirtió en bestia a los 11, en mi opinión personal la película ocurre entre los años 1800 o 1805..
Interesante tu análisis Lolita! siempre he sabido que eres experta sobre historia, no sabré decirte si es cierto o no, pero es un gran dato para el fandom ^^
Solo puedo decir que me encanta las vestimentas de las mujeres de esa época, y específicamente de Francia. Tantos detalles y adornos hermosos que le dan esos vestidos bombochos con colores elegantes, las pelucas son los menos que me gustan. Y también analizando sobre cambios a través de los años en la cultura, es gracioso como esa época era común y hasta visto como vestimenta de clase alta en los hombres, traerse puesto calcetines largos con zapatos, traer pañuelo o trapo en cuello y muñecos, traer peluca y sobre todo, se maquillaban. Que ahora como ves, actualmente se considera "afeminado" si se hace eso. Las ideologías de genero apestan.

tic my dear friend tic tell me about your favorite batb headcanons :3
Omgomg how can I pick favorites? Ok I'll try to limit myself to a few
Chapeau experiences phantom limb after the curse, feeling like he should have four arms rather than two. Belle and Maurice try to make him a set of fake wooden arms to curb the discomfort.
Despite being so dedicated to his job (too much really), Cogsworth does have his hobbies. Specifically, art! He keeps a little journal of charcoal sketches, mainly of his coworkers or the castle's cat, and on rare occasions, he'll put the time and effort into painting as well.
Lumiere tends to be quite forgetful, perhaps even flighty, but he puts a lot of effort into remembering things about people: birthdays, favorite foods, music taste, etc. As far as practical stuff though, Babette is around to keep his head on straight at least.
Speaking of Babette, she also gets some... Changes, after the curse. Patches of white feathers have sprouted on her wrists and ankles. They're a bit awkward, but Lumiere insists they're beautifully unique and angelic.
Adam hates summer. Even now that he's human again, he gets unbearably hot in the summer weather. The nights aren't so bad though, when a breeze has started and the fireflies dance and Belle lays across his lap to read.

I have PLENTY of thoughts about Lumière's origins and background and I will make art of it but I have to provide context before anything else. So here! Revel in the anguish. ˖⁺‧₊˚ ˚₊‧⁺˖-------------------˖⁺‧₊˚ ˚₊‧⁺˖
A backstory waffle. OKAY, let’s establish a few dates. Let’s assume BATB takes place in the year 1750. Let’s also assume Lumiere, or Lucien, was 38 years old when he was cursed, and remained 38 for a decade following up to the events of the film. This means that his birth year is 1712. His mother, who started having children very early, had three sets of twins totaling six children in total. His fraternal twin sister was also born in 1712, the two middle children were born in 1732 (18 years old in 1750) and the two youngest were born in 1734. This lands Lumiere being 22 years old when his youngest sister is born. Now that that’s out of the way…✨TRAUMA✨ The fact that Lumiere’s transformed into a candlestick is symbolic. When thinking about personalities as elements, you would associate someone with a fiery personality as quite charismatic, energetic, expressive, and excel at commanding others to action. “They may love talking and socializing. They don't like to be alone and they seek out the admiration and attention of others.” So this is pretty much a good overview of Lumiere’s personality. The negative qualities associated with an excess of fire in the personality include mood swings, restlessness, and manipulative behavior.
Furthermore, candles and candlelight carry HEAPS of symbolism. Candles radiate messages of romance, passion, security, warmth, hope, spirituality, mystery. “Candles indeed are a burning example that the whole is more than sum of its parts – be they just a little wax and wick as they are. No matter how thick the darkness, the light of one candle conquers it. No matter how solitary one flame is, it is never alone or lonely for its light knows no boundaries and touches eternity.” It’s also worth noting that the candle is often associated with sacrifice, since a candle’s flame grows brighter to light the path, burning itself in turn. I think I just want fire to be more present in Lum’s life because I’m gay. So he’s from a noble family, but aren’t all that wealthy. They’re nobles in title only, but he had a rather comfortable childhood with his mother and sister. 
And then…crossfire. Their tiny home was caught in the wave of an attack (of which I don’t know so I won’t specify) and the entire area was essentially burned down to nothing. His mother was tending to some financial stuff away from home and was unaware of the whole..shitshow. Much to her luck, her children survived (after having witnessed dead bodies under rubble but that’s fine) Lumiere lives up to his nickname and tries to hold it together, clenching his twin Laverne’s hand. No child should have to witness any of this. It’s not fair to either of them. They go from a nice and comfortable cottage to a small humble home in the north of France, and then the pressures of holding the family together as “man of the house” overwhelms Lucien and robs him of his childhood. It’s only natural that he has such severe amnesia of his the years following the burning, and exacerbated by a period of abuse of his person. His brain is only processing a linear progression to adulthood where he receives the royal invitation to serve His Highness in Versailles. “I was a young boy, and then we moved, and then I was a young man, and now I’m in the castle. Details don’t matter.”

Have you seen the new birthday card for jack? I really want to know your honest reaction about it
I was out the whole day yesterday so that's why I didn't immediately screamed in here as usual
Tumblr media
THERE HE IS MY PROUD BOY, MY BF MY BABYGIRL MY WOOBA SHOBA MY WITTLE PUMPKIN MY SWEET LITTLE CHEESECAKE MY LITTLE WOOF WOOF
He's holding a macaron in his hand 😭😭😭💗💗💗I think he mentioned somewhere before that he's actually fond of sweets? Even though he's so physically active
Also he's wearing glittery eyeshadow again LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! Yassify him
Tumblr media
Ok now putting the rot aside, I'm sure everyone is curious about what I think of the paintings they chose for his card, and I've been seeing a lot of general confusion regarding the paintings
First, I want to state that it's probably safe to assume that the painting on the right is the respective Great Seven of the dorm from which the twst boy is from; Jack from Savanaclaw has Scar, Ace from Heartslabyul had the Queen of Hearts and Jamil from Scarabia had Jafar (which, coincidentally is also the character's he's twst from).
Okay so what about the LEFT painting... This is where everyone is left confused because the fandom was speculating that the painting was meant to represent the dsny character whom the birthday boy is based off. This is merely FANDOM SPECULATION. It was never stated in any official sources that the characters shown in the paintings are supposed to be the OG dsny character whom the birthday boy is based off.
To be honest I was already expecting they'd put a random lion king character instead of a canon wolf character for Jack rip my beauty and the beast wolves but this is also confusing because there are no wolves in lion king. So they slapped Rafiki in there as a filler.
No, Jack is NOT based on Rafiki. There is little to none similarities between them, not to mention the most obvious of all, Rafiki is a mandrill and Jack is a wolf. ...There's just no sense. ''So why'd they put him in there?'' because the painting on the left isn't meant to be his origin character, it's just supposed to be the painting the birthday boy chose to talk about. In some cases, like Ace's, the painting of their choice is indeed the character they are originated from, and I'm sure it will be like that with the characters who really does have clear inspirations. So for the character with ambiguous origins or that seems to have mixed inspirations such as Lilia, Sebek, Silver, Ortho (even Epel, as he's based on an object rather than a character...) they will probably choose to talk about a random character from the movie their dorm is based on.
Clarifying it all with a picture:
Tumblr media
So to finish, that leaves a lot of people asking ''so are we never going to see who Jack is based on? 😭'' the truth that we don't want to admit is that he doesn't have an origin character! Jack is unique (and we love him for that) and very likely a mix of inspirations such as White Fang and the whole ''big bad wolf'' trope as a whole. It's fun to see and indulge in everyone's headcanons even if a lot of them don't make sense for Jack's inspirations because Jack is a good boy and he deserves all the attention and love and I'm eating it up.

Beauty and the Beast x JOJO AU
Imagine Fugio, but Beauty and the Beast. Fugo was cursed by the Enchantress for his awful temper and selfish attitude, and all his servants- Bucciarati, Narancia, Abbacchio, and Mista- turn into objects around the castle. His curse will only lift when he falls in love. Full of self-loathing and anger, the Beast locks himself up in the castle for years.
And then there’s Giorno. Giorno is peculiar to all the townspeople, his nose stuck in a biology book and not really fitting in with the rest because of his race, looks, and love for science. Giorno lives with his old and only father, Johnathan, an Archeologist trying to make a name for himself. The townspeople believe that both of them are crazy loons, but the father and son ignore it, finding solace in each other and talking about their daily discoveries. Of the townspeople there is only one who is interested with Giorno, Diavolo (serving as the Gaston of this AU), but unlike the original Gaston, he is interested in Giorno for his talents in agriculture. The Joestars have the most beautiful, productive farm in town, and many farmers are jealous of it. As the leader of the town, Diavolo wants to buy out the Joestars, hire Giorno and offers him large sums of money to work for him. Diavolo sees that Giorno’s talents are wasted staying with his father. However, Giorno despises Diavolo and sees that he’s a selfish man. He treats his workers poorly and gives them below minimum wage. He refuses to work for him. There is also his father, Johnathan, that is getting old. He wants to take care of him.
One day, his father Johnathan leaves out of town and doesn’t come back. Giorno goes to find him, locked up in a castle’s dungeon. This is where he meets a terrifying creature in the shadows, glowing yellow eyes, salivating, tall, and cloaked. Giorno tries to stay level-headed even though he’s scared, and makes a deal with the Beast that he’ll take his father’s place as a prisoner. He sacrifices his dream of exploring the world to save the one thing more important than his dream: Johnathan. Fugo is moved by Giorno’s selfless heart, and also sees the potential in using Giorno to break the curse before his 21st birthday. He agrees to let Johnathan go in exchange for Giorno…

Beauty and the beast but the people who are normally the good guys are evil
heheheheheheee I actually have a playlist called “evil batb” I listen to when I am ready to be wicked and commit crimes
Agatha cursed Adam at the last moment not as a sort of justice from hell measure but because he was about to crush her windpipe. sometimes self defense has to be a spell you set with your own blood. she crumples to the floor, dead, as Adam grows bones and claws and nails and teeth—and teeth—and teeth—and teeth….
In this timeline, a girl who might have just once been a dreaming bookworm has gone mad with loneliness, her heart a husk of what it was. she had a mother once, who died. she had a father once, who lived, staring at nothing, his fingers tinkering with gears that never fit. the magic and adventure never came. and when she hears there's a monster in the woods, she thinks I can turn my loneliness to some good measure. I'll go and kill the beast. Maybe then someone here in this village will take me as I am, if I finally have blood on my hands.
why was Adam trying to kill Agathe? because he doesn't trust magic, never has. What good is magic if the people you love can die and they do nothing to stop it? Agathe could have kept his mother from dying. Agathe could have stopped his father, any chance she had. but loneliness and anger creates more loneliness and anger, and in his desire to kill the last magic thing in the forest he becomes it, himself, roaring through the hallways and filling the rooms with a shaggy, aching rage.
Belle shows up and these two souls who don't have one good thing to say about the rest of the world start trying to kill each other—Adam because he has nothing left to be but a beast; Belle because she has nothing left to be but a slayer.
the staff are evil too!! oh my god they’re all so bad! but they’re bad in like, the campy tim curry ooo I’m evil because I wear leather kind of way. they’re bad like muppets. plumette throws knives lumiere wears thigh-highs cogsworth plots and schemes on like, how to set the table with purple napkins instead of white. in a previous life mrs. potts was a master assassin. they're all so busy dancing to lady gaga and being gay they never get around to actually committing any crimes.
what’s Gaston doing here? Gaston is simply a Man of the People! He’s been put down Too Long! he is in love with Belle and entirely unknowing that she’s got a heart made of holes. he's big into examining himself from a "safe and healthy perspective" and discussing every aspect of his personality in therapy but hasn't actually noticed that Belle is lonely or, uhh, not here anymore because she went to kill the monster in the woods and that was five weeks ago.
as naturally happens when two angry toxic people with precisely the same cocktail of loneliness meet, Adam and Belle segue quickly from trying to kill each other to, oopsie, relating over their shared griefs and maybe actually finding solace in each other. Are they in a healthy relationship? Absolutely not! Oh my god nobody go near them! They're surrounded by evil gay furniture why would you even want to! But they are what the other one needs, in this broken and fragile state, and I don't think anyone should fault them for holding onto each other, if it's the only life raft they have, as they patch their broken pieces in the only ways they know how. No one wants to be wicked. Some just have shadows that grow longer, and need a little sun to light the way.
So maybe they're damned. It's not a bad thing to be damned together.

Princess Zara Backstory
So a while back someone asked if I had a backstory for Princess Zara from the videogame Disney Princess: Enchanted Journey
I didn't at the time but thinking it over since I think I've found a good fit within my DisneyVerse 
Tumblr media
I knew I wanted to do a take on Zelena from OUAT since I already had her parents and sister, but since Theodora from Oz the Great and Powerful is the DisneyVerse version of the Wicked Witch of the West she couldn't be that, but I think Zara fits nicely. Greek color scheme, Z name, motivated by jealousy, ect.
So in my DisneyVerse Zara is the second child of Corinne and Henri, unexpected and unplanned as they meant to have no further children who could be in danger from a vengeful Rumplestiltskin, per the terms of their last  bargain 
Desperate to keep her safe, they end up meeting the Enchantress through her friendship with Hélène, and she agrees to take the child under her care to hide her from Rumplestiltskin, knowing it might be her only chance 
Zara is brought up ignorant of her past under the Enchantress's  rather cold care--she never was very good with children-- and is a lonely, often angry, little girl, who dreams of another life, one where she feels important and wanted, often lashing out against her distant guardian in order to gain her attention 
When she exhibits a talent for magic, she hopes this will bring the Enchantress to pay more attention to her, or at least bring her esteem in the eyes of others
But though the  Enchantress trains her somewhat, she is still critical of how Zara's temper gets away from her ('refusing to learn those Princess Virtues') 
Eventually, fed up with her life, Zara uses her magic to run away from the Enchantress's magically hidden home--which unfortunately leads her right into the clutches of Rumplestiltskin 
The imp tells her a twisted version of her origin, making her believe her mother abandoned her in favor of her sister Princess Regine
Heartbroken and bitter over what she sees as her stolen life, Zara begins to learn dark magic from the imp, and soon begins her vendetta of ensuring that if she can't be a princess, no one can…

Nightmares…
Character(s): Llewellyn (Lu) and Rosa
Plot: Lu wakes up from a nightmare unfortunately his big brother isn’t here to help him, but a certain Bookworm is.
Warnings: Warnings a bit of gore? (Explaining it), a bit of death (From Lu’s Dream), but there will be comfort/Fluff (From Rosa), also some mentions of Despair AU? (From Pastelprince, you know if Cursa took over half of the galaxy the heroes lost?) (I wonder if that's the correct AU name?)
A/n: I’m having a nightmare myself, guess who’s not sleeping tonight? But writing helps.. A bit. Ehh anyways, Enjoy Reading~!<3
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Lu shot up awake. He look around and see he was in his room. He was safe.. Safe.. Safe.. Right?!
That dream.. No.. Nightmare felt so real.. He was trapped!! His brother became one of them. Along with his friends! He was alone and about it- No. It's best not to talk about it.
Lu was shaking, looked over to his side, and saw his brother was not there. Where is he?! Wait!! Did they take him too?! Oh.. No.. Oh no… OH NO!!!!?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile on the other side of the room. Here lays Rosa reading her books in her room. She’s supposed to sleep at this hour.. But she wasn't feeling it.. Huh.. Surprisingly..-?
“Hmmm..” Rosa hummed, flipping the pages from her book. She heard a loud thud next to her room. What?! Ehh.. Probably means Lu playing around- It's midnight no way he can be awake-
*THUD*
Rosa sighed and closed her book. Slowly getting out of bed and walking out of her room, bringing her book with her. She knock on Lu’s door softly. “Lu? It's me Rosa.. Are you okay?”
..Nothing from the other side.
She puts her star bunny ears on the door to hear clearly. She can hear whimpers from the other side. Lu..
She opened the door and she was correct. Lu wrapped around in a burrito blanket, trying to calm down quietly. “Lu?” She mumbled placing her book down. Lu sniffed as he saw his best friend. “Rosie!!” he cried, getting up and hugging her tightly. Rosa was cut off guard but wrapped her arms around him. “Okay? Of course, I would..-”
“Rosie.. You are okay... You’re safe.. Okay.. Safe.. Not like them..” Lu mumbled, hugging his friend tighter. ‘What..?’ she thinks in her head. Very confused about what he was saying but realized he had a nightmare..
“Lu..? Did you have a nightmare..?” she asked softly. Lu slowly nods his head. “Do you want to talk about it..?”
“A bit..” he mumbled, shaking in fear. “I’m here to listen..” said Rosa patting behind his back.
“Well.. We were fighting Cursa.. And.. She struck her tentacle to Mari..! He was cursed.. Along with the others.. I-I was running away with Jeanie, Edge, You, and Mario.. Until you w-were attacked.. And I-I didn't s-save you- I watched it all happen.. Blood s-splattered everywhere.. M-Mari.. And t-the others w-were l-like them-!! I-I.. My o-own brother killed m-me.. I-I-” Lu explained, tears escaping from his eye. “Shhh.. Sh..” whispered Rosa hugging her friend tightly. “It was a nightmare.. We're all okay.. You are okay.. Curse is gone.” said Rosa trying to calm down her friend.
Lu sniffled, trying to calm himself down. But more tears came down and he was.. Just so scared. It felt real.
Rosa quietly hummed, removing her arms around him. One hand holding his hand while the other wiping away his tears. For a short minute her little tune calmed Lu down a bit. Only sniffles can be heard from him.
“Would you like me to read a story for you?” Rosa suggested.
Lu nods his head.
“Alright..”
Rosa used her magic to gently lift Lu up and set him down on his bed, climbing up and sitting down with him. “Y-You won’t leave me here.. Right..?” Lu whimpered. “No, I will be here. Not leaving your side,” said Rosa, opening her book.
“Beauty And The Beast Chapter 1. Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle…”
..
..
Lu was fast asleep, sleeping on Rosa’s shoulder. Rosa stopped her reading, looked over at her shoulder, and smiled seeing Lu fall asleep. It was worth it reading two chapters. Until they read Chapter 3 together tomorrow. She put a bookmark on the page and closed the book. Set the book on the side and lay her head on Lu’s blanket head. She sighed, falling asleep.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I kinda want to right the Despair AU, but I need to check the lore to get it right. And Nightmares can be a pain.

Remember how in Beauty and the Beast 1991, Beast is conveniently in the woods when the wolves attack Belle? Why is he out there and close enough to rescue her? There's no reason given for this in canon, so what's your headcanon?
Tumblr media
This poll is specifically for your headcanon for the 1991 animated film, not the 2017 live action film.

adam loves waking up beside belle so much. he spent so many years waking up alone, or waking up beside people he didn’t care about, and he didn’t even realize how empty, how unfulfilling it felt to him until suddenly he was waking up beside his best friend. suddenly mornings were filled with gentle kisses and warm embraces and lovely laughter and the sweet smell of her hair and it felt euphoric. adam has never been a morning person but gosh, he lives for mornings with belle. he loves when she calls him sleepy and when his grumpy noises make her laugh. he loves how happy she is in his arms, how often she snuggles into him for just a few minutes more, despite how much she wants to get up and start the day. he loves everything about his life with belle, but he never expected one of his favorite parts to be those sweet, precious mornings.

Evermore- Pt one
Xiao x reader Beauty and the Beast AU
Masterlist
~~~~~~~~~~~
In a faraway place, there lived a beautiful prince. He lived in a beautiful castle surrounded by beautiful gardens that sprawled out as far as the eye could see. The prince held balls often, and parties for the high society however, the prince's subjects were treated unkindly. While he and others lived lavishly, the people were left to work all day in poverty to pay the high tax imposed on them.
On one stormy night, the prince was visited by an old woman, soaked and begging for shelter from the storm. However, despite her pleas, the prince did not want the old woman to be an eyesore in his home. He denied her access and with no other option, she offered him the one thing she had.
She held the rose up to him with shaky fingers, "I do not have much prince Xiao. All I have is this rose but you may have it if you are so gracious as to let me stay a night in your huge castle."
But the prince did not give in. He sent the crone away and before his eyes, saw her transform from a frail old lady into a beautiful enchantress. The prince begs her for forgiveness but like he, she does not yield.
"You have grown selfish," she speaks, glowing gold, "Your subjects hunger and yet you do not feed them. You must learn a lesson in humility, so I, Ningguang, will curse you!"
And so, the prince felt his bones stretch and saw the fur on his arms grow like seeds. When he finally saw himself again he was disgusted.
"Only shall the spell be lifted when you learn to love and are loved in tandem."
He is left with nought but the sparkling blue rose. He weeps over it, for who could ever love a beast as hideous as him?
~~~
A decade has passed and the path to the castle has grown like a wall of ivy. However, the lives of the townsfolk still proceed.
There were many towns and cities, all full of people with normal lives. In some of these cities and towns were remarkable people too. There were blacksmiths and artists and bakers and poets.
In this particular little town lived a girl and her brother. The pair lived together happily in a house outside of the town but everyone in the village knew of them.
"She's a really weird girl," snickers a lady in a green dress at the milk stall to her friends. They all nod.
"Tell me about it! Who wouldn't want the chance to marry a man like Tartaglia- oh he's tall and handsome and strong and rich and-" the girl in the red dress trails off dreamily.
"Oh and her brother- talk about a basket case!" the lady in pink squeals.
(Y/N) pretends like she doesn't hear the gossiping girls, gripping her basket just a little bit tighter than before. After all, they aren't the only people. She greets each person she meets politely with a smile and a wave before turning the corner into a building.
"Ah (Y/N) back again so soon?" the librarian teases her, knowing her routine by now.
The girl laughs quietly and nods, "Yes I finished the book! Have you had any new ones yet, Lisa?"
The librarian shakes her head, her brown hair falling loosely around her face. "I'm afraid not- but you can read any of the others. As long as you return them!" (Y/N) senses there is a vague threat in that sentence but pretends she isn't intimidated by the intense woman.
"T-Thanks! I'll uh, take this one again please" Lisa nods and scribbles the title down in her ledger. Nearly the whole page is filled with only her name.
When she leaves the small corner shop, she bumps face-first into a firm chest. It heaves with a chuckle, and she feels her face pale, recognising the sound like a siren.
"Woah, be careful there, girlie. Wouldn't want you getting hurt, would we?" he holds her hips and grins down at her.
She peels his hands off of her dress, side-stepping the hunter, "I'm sorry, Tartaglia. I wasn't looking where I was goi-"
"Now enough of that formality, I've told you to call me Ajax. What have you got there?" he plucks the book out of her grasp like it's a grain of rice. Tartaglia opens the book widely and she nearly flinches at what Lisa would do if the book tore.  His eyebrows furrow in vexation at the pages, roughly flipping through them.
"Ughh, how can you possibly read these things- where's the excitement? Where are the pictures?" he whines. She laughs incredulously and snatches it out of his gloved hands.
"Tarta- Ajax- you need to read it to get the excitement. Anyway, it's a romance" She huffs turning her back to walk away but finds herself unable to when he grips her forearm.
"Oh, while we're here, I have an important matter to discuss with you, my dear." he pulls her along with him through the village.
"Oh really," she laughs awkwardly, tugging futilely at his grip.
"We've known each other for so long now, and I'm sure you know how much I like you," he grins at her, "And I of course know how I need of a husband you'll be once your brother isn't around."
She looks at him strangely, lips curling in vague disgust, "Ajax I am fully capable of caring for myself. I don't need a husband, I have my own dreams"
"Oh sweetheart I know you have dreams- but dreams are for children- and rich white men. There will be a time when you'll realise that you can't always have what you want, and you will trade those ambitions for the things you need."
"And what is it that I need, Tartaglia?" she questions, unamusedly.
He pulls her hand up to his lips and kisses her knuckles. If it weren't for it being him it might have been charming.
"Why motherhood of course!" he smiles still as if he had not listened to a word of her prior statement.
She finds herself at the door of her home now. Gripping the handle she turns back at him, "I'm not ready for children-" she tries to close the door but his foot prevents her from doing so.
He pushes his way past the threshold of the home and she fumbles backwards.
"Tartaglia-"
"Look I know this is hard for you to understand but you'll need to accept it, like it or not, girlie. It's not a bad life- just picture it;" he trudges into the room. "A cold winter's night, staying warm by the fire, cuddling under furs, cooking my latest hunt for my dinner, all while our children play"
"Ajax, I already said-" he doesn't seem to be listening, caught up in a daydream.
"We'd have at least four- yes four, two girls and two boys, and I'd teach them to hunt and you'll teach them to sew"
"TARTAGLIA," she shouts, catching him off guard. Before he has a chance to say anything he's already being forced back out of the door.
"I know you're tired so I'll come back and we'll talk more about this tomorrow. Good night, girlie" he yells into the open window.
She sighs and leans against the door, closing her eyes. The staircase creaks quietly and she doesn't need to open them to know who it is.
"Everything ok?" her brother, Aether peaks his head out from the corner worriedly, cheeks smeared with oil. She smiles at him and nods.
"Yes, I sent him away myself. I had hoped that I would be able to avoid him a little longer" she sighs, padding silently towards him. "How's your invention going?"
Aether smiles albeit sadly and shakes his head, "I'm not so sure I'll get it finished by tonight, or any night if I'm honest." he leads her down the stairs into the cellar. And just as it was all the other days, it sat on the floor, stationary and crackling like thunder. Seems he hasn't sorted that problem yet...
She tugs his arm, "Nonsense we can do it if we just keep going! Just try your best and if it isn't tonight it can be another time."  
He chuckles and plops down into the chair beside the machine, picking up the Allan key. "If Lumine could see me she'd laugh... getting all worked up over a machine. Pass me the screwdriver, oh now the uh long- yes that's right!"
As if right on cue the crackling stops, the room falls silent and suddenly the mechanism begins its intended motions of chopping. Aether spins on his seat and smiles in excitement.
"If our sister could see us now, she'd be proud," she pats his head before he jumps up and spins her around happily.
"Oh thank the gods, I can- I've got to get ready! I have to leave right away!" he fumbles and nearly drops (y/n) in his hurry but promptly apologises.
"I'll get the horse and cart ready, Aether!" she shouts up the stairs and hears a muffled response of 'thanks'

I'd love to hear your headcanons for the Belle's Magical World characters!
Yess!!! I will admit I don't have thoughts about most of them (because they're so one-note it actually hurts (this is a Chandeliera callout)), I cannot resist my library boys.
Webster was the only child of a servant couple working for a wealthy Englishman. He's been phenomenally gifted since a young age, learning to read and write quite early, and the gentleman took a great interest in him. He was offered an unusually advanced education and the opportunity to travel Europe for others to see his talents, treated more like a carnival attraction than a prodigy. Once he was a young adult with more agency, Webster quickly retired from public attention to become the head librarian at the castle (a position that was quite easy to get with his reputation). He doesn't resent his parents for the choice they made—they could never have provided him with the same opportunities—but that doesn't change how hard it still is for him to socialize or have a healthy work-life balance or understand his own feelings half the time. He's happy though, settled at the castle. This job allows him to indulge his own interests: studying linguistics, chess, and falling head over heels for his coworkers. More simply, Webster is autistic, a hyperpolyglot, omnisexual, and in a polyamorous relationship with LePlume and Crane. He's the oldest of the three and the voice of reason (or at least he tries to be), but he can be a bit dense when the former is trying to flirt with him.
LePlume is a professional calligrapher, working at the castle about as long as Webster has been even though he's a bit younger. He helps Crane with replicating their books and other important records, sometimes even writing letters or decrees on Adam's behalf simply because he has much nicer, more professional-looking handwriting. Outside of work though, LePlume is an absolute rascal and not afraid to show it. He's a serial flirt, despite his bad history with partners cheating on him, and he can be a bit... jealous because of it. Outside of his own love life, though LePlume loves to meddle in other people's drama. He gives godawful advice, usually when no one has asked for it too. No one knows how much of it he actually believes, versus how much he's purposefully suggesting terrible ideas for his own amusement when it inevitably turns to chaos. He's always been prone to nose bleeds, but after the curse, his blood always looks black.
Crane has an inherited form of deafness, which prevents him from understanding most spoken words. When a public school for the deaf opened in Paris, Crane decided to stay there and learn the newly developing sign language. It was there that he met Webster, and—seeing that he had little money and was now far from his Chinese family—Webster offered him a job at the castle. Crane's main responsibility is bookbinding, and he sometimes makes the paper himself in their office. Outside of work, Crane loves birds and art! He often leaves little origami flowers, hearts, or birds on his partners' desks. Fittingly, I 100% redesigned Crane's cursed form because I think it's dumb: 1) His facial features look like they're drawn onto the top sheet of paper, and 2) he communicates and moves around mostly by self-origami-ing himself into various shapes. When the curse was broken, Crane had severely lost weight on account of all the papers he'd lost over the past ten years. Webster and LePlume took good care of him until he was in a healthier state again.

Saw your beautiful rant in the tags of my funny t4t lumiworth post! It is actually my headcanon, shoutout! Yeah, just wanted to say, it sucks how people feel the need for headcanon to be canonically justified- who cares? I think we can headcanon whatever we want, because they are for fun!
-Transmasc Hawk :)
thanks for the kind words. Honestly I agree with this statement, I think people should allow themselves to just have fun with headcanons honestly.
Funny enough I actually also headcanon Lumiere as trans. I actually headcanoning it because I once saw someone make redesigns of everyone’s human forms which (I think it atleast seemed to) included headcanons, and their version they made him trans and, to put it lightly, I thought it was neat, so I adopted the headcanon.
I don’t post about it much but yeah
Also @ticenchantedtoc has the bigender Cogsworth headcanon, and seeing it from her was how I first saw it, I also saw the chain discussing it with @ich-theosaurus and I also think that’s neat.
This next one I’ve thought of in my own although I think other people probably headcanon it too, transfem Fifi/Babette. Which would also make lumibabs T4T aswell (not that it really matters, I think fifi would trans regardless of the fact of her dating someone who is also trans)
Also, shout out to t4t4t lumibabsworth

i think if éponine were ever to get seriously injured (shut up i know she gets fucking shot and dies) she would adamantly refuse help and try to (poorly) take care of it herself
