[Image ID: A series of five traditional pencil drawings of Sokka and Suki from Avatar: The Last Airbender dressed similarly to Derek and Odette from The Swan Princess. In the first, they are young children. Suki crosses her arms and scowls at Sokka. Sokka sticks his tongue out at Suki. In the second, Sokka sits on the ground and scowls. In the background, Suki and Katara happily walk and talk together. In the third, they are older. Sokka lies flat on his back on the ground, his clothes and hair slightly disheveled, and looks up at Suki with an impressed expression. She walks away from him. In the fourth, they are teenagers and walking together. Suki speaks and gestures with one hand. Sokka listens to her and smiles. In the fifth, they are young adults. They are shown in profile from the knees up facing each other. Both smile and close their eyes. They lean together with their foreheads touching and their hands joined. Suki wears a betrothal necklace. /.End ID]

For as long as I remember

We've been told we'd someday wed...

Sukka Week Day 4: Arranged Marriage

Inspired by the beginning of The Swan Princess. Every summer, Prince Sokka and Princess Suki are brought to visit each other, in the hope that when they grow up they will agree to a politically advantageous marriage. Unfortunately, Suki thinks Sokka's annoying and Sokka thinks...the way he does in early Book 1 (she and Katara do become fast friends, which annoys Sokka to no end). One year, Sokka overhears Suki discussing her self-defense training and makes a disparaging comment about girls and sports. Suki challenges him to a sparring match right then and there. He accepts and loses within seconds...and suddenly this girl is a lot more interesting! He apologizes, and over the years they spend more and more time together, talking, training, playing games, and genuinely falling in love. The year after they've come of age, Suki arrives wearing the necklace that was given to her family by Sokka's years ago when the match was first arranged.

For Fun: Here's My Favorite Disney Songs That Were Deleted/Changed In The Final Film (Part 4)

"Someday" was meant to be Esmeralda's song in Hunchback of Notre Dame, but was replaced by "God Help the Outcasts" in the final version. It was sung over the credits, however, and both would be sung in the stage adaptation.

youtube

"Shooting Star" was the original "I Want" song from Hercules, but was cut for being "too soft". I could take either or, but "Go the Distance" is still a classic.

youtube

"I Can't Believe My Heart" was Meg's original song. It was cut for similar reasons as "Shooting Star". I definitely prefer the version we got.

youtube

Stephen Schwartz, who wrote the lyrics for Pocahontas and Hunchback with Alan Menken as well as all the music for Wicked, was originally tapped to write the music for Mulan. He left early in production to work on the music for "The Prince of Egypt" at DreamWorks. "Written In Stone" is the only song of his version available to listen to. It would've been in the spot where "Reflection" exists in the final film.

youtube

Speaking of "Reflection", when composers Matthew Wilder and David Zippel joined the film after Schwartz left, they wrote a much longer version of the song. The fact that this version is not in the film is a crime.

youtube

"Keep 'Em Guessin'" would've been Mushu's song as he introduces himself to Mulan, but Eddie Murphy's dialogue worked much better, and made things much more succinct. The song is enjoyable imo, tho.

youtube

Famously, Disney was working on a film set to release in late 2000 called Kingdom of the Sun. It was a sort of an Incan retelling of The Prince and the Pauper, with some magic and gods thrown in for good measure. It was supposed to be another grand musical on the scale of The Lion King, even sharing its co-director, Roger Allers. To match that scale, they brought in musician Sting to write the songs, thinking he'd bring the same energy that Elton John brought to Lion King's songs. Sting and co-composer David Hartley wrote three songs for this version. The first, "Walk the Llama Llama", would've been the opening song. It was to be sung by the main character, Pacha (here played by Owen Wilson), a teenage llama herder who coincidentally looks exactly like the spoiled teenaged Emperor Manco (played by David Spade). The song is Pacha expressing his love for the llama as he herded them. Pacha's singing voice would've been Sting himself in the final film. There also would've been a reprise halfway through the film and at the end, though nothing from these reprises has appeared online. Unfortunately, the only clean version of the song is this country-fied version by Rascal Flats on the Emperor's New Groove soundtrack.

youtube

The second song, "Snuff Out the Light", would have been sung by the villain of the film, Yzma (as played by Eartha Kitt). In this version, Yzma would have been an aging sorceress who hated the sun for causing her wrinkles. She would've discovered that Manco and Pacha swapped, and turned the real Pacha into a non-speaking llama. She would've manipulated Pacha into doing what she wanted. She planned to summon the Dark God, Supai to block out the sun so she wouldn't grow old. This song was fully recorded, and the sequence had quite a bit of animation finished on it before the story changed.

youtube

The third song, "One Day She'll Love Me" would have been the love song of the film, and been sung by Pacha and the emperor's betrothed, Nina. Pacha has fallen in love with Nina, but feels guilty for living a lie. Nina is starting to fall in love with him, but still believes he's Manco, and doesn't know why he's changing.

youtube

Continued in Part 5!

This is to highlight lyricists who pretty much solely did lyrics, not composer-lyricists! If there's another lyricist you love who isn't listed here, please leave that in the tags!

Return of Birthday Week Random Shit Queue.

When I saw this in theaters I didn't like it, because it was so different from other Disney musicals. Faster paced, faster cuts, a lot of pop culture references. A lot of us walked out of the theater not sure how we felt about it. I don't remember kids being really into it. The merch didn't sell much at The Disney Store.

Now I love it. The songs are fantastic. Hades is one of the best Disney villains. I'm not a fan of James Woods' other work, but he's perfect voicing Hades.

youtube

Hades' new incarnation in Disney's Descendants 3 isn't bad, either.

youtube

There'll be a young Hades in Descendants 4.

Andrew Lloyd Webber is apparently taking a bold stance in distinguishing his version of Cinderella from the Rodgers and Hammerstein version by including the quality of the writing in its title.

Mulan (1998)

Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo abbiamo continuato a parlare di horror, arrivando a discutere di un remake che, nonostante non sia al livello dell’originale, mostra di avere qualcosa da dire, La notte dei morti viventi di Tom Savini. Barbara e suo fratello sono al cimitero per visitare la tomba della madre defunta, quando a un certo punto vengono attaccati da degli…

Conversation

How “I won’t say I’m in love” was written

Alan Menken: “Okay, I think it should sound a little something like this: “When there’s a prize for rotten judgement~”.”

Bobcat Goldthwait: “You mean… IF… there’s a prize.”

Alan Menken: “…”

David Zippel: “Get back in the booth.”

I Won't Say (I'm In Love)

Nico di Angelo x Son of Eros Reader

Inspiration - I Won't Say (I'm In Love) By Alan Menken and David Zippel

Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3

AN - If you have any ideas for a story with this reader then ask and you shall receive

Nico stood by his cabin as he watched you talk with some Aphrodite girls. It had been months since you had first came to camp and since Hazel had introduced you two and you were still the gossip of Camp Half-Blood and Nico could see why.

You were found a couple months ago and you hadn’t been claimed yet which was shocking since you had told everyone that you were fifteen. The Gods had said that they would claim any Half-Blood before they turned thirteen.

Chiron had asked you if you had been claimed but after he told you how half-bloods get claimed you sarcastically said “I think I would notice if a giant thing appeared above my head”, which Leo thought was funny.

So you were placed into Hermes cabin for about a week before you were claimed, but everyone was more shocked at that. You were claimed by Eros, or better known as Cupid.

That was a shock.

No one, not even Chiron had heard of this. And that guy was old, really old. It had been months since that happened but people still talked about you. You were in the Hermes cabin since there wasn’t a cabin for you but that only lasted for a month or two because it was getting quite crowded, so they placed you in a cabin that was almost empty.

Hades cabin, Nico’s cabin. This made Nico quite mad. But not for the reasons you think. Nico had nothing against you. You were nice, charming, funny, good looking.

That’s why Nico hated you.

You had tried to befriend him, with lots of flirting that Nico decided to ignore. Although Nico didn’t spend a lot of time at Camp Half-Blood, you still tried to be friends with him. But he never really talked to you, or hung out with you.

He mostly ignored you.

After a couple of weeks you had gotten the message and left him alone. But now Nico had wished that he didn’t act so cold to you. Watching you talk and laugh with other people made Nico feel weird. He didn’t know why he felt this way.

He did not like you.

Nico didn’t not have a crush on you. He had bad experiences with love, especially with Cupid. It never worked out well. So why did he feel his heart flutter when he was near you or when you smiled at him. No, Nico did not have a crush on you. He had too much to worry about in his life.

He was a child of The Big Three, his life was hard. He had to focus on keeping himself alive. But then why did he long to be next to you. You are like that stupid girl with her arms around your shoulder. Nico shook his head and looked away from you.

He should leave, he’s spent too much time at Camp Half-Blood anyway. “Hey Neeks”, Nico looked up to see Hazel running towards him. Nico smiled slightly and waved at her. “What are you doing?” Hazel asked, taking a place next to Nico.

“I was just about to leave, I have stuff to do”. Hazel laughed which confused Nico. “So you weren’t just looking at Y/n?” Hazel asked though it wasn’t a question. Nico blushed and looked away from Hazel but the damage had been done.

Hazel had her answer though Nico suspected that she already knew it. “Why don’t you just tell Y/n that you love him. He’s said he’s pansexual”, Hazel pointed out. Nico knew that, you had told him that when you first tried to talk to him.

Nico never knew why to tell him that, it wasn’t important. “I’m not going to confess to him because I don’t like him”, Nico told Hazel, looking back at her though he couldn’t meet her eyes. Hazel let out another laugh before looking at you.

Nico followed her gaze and he blushed again when he saw you. You weren’t doing anything special, which just made Nico more mad. You were just leaning on the railing for a cabin and talking to an Apollo kid.

Since your father struck people with arrows you were really good with a bow, which made you friends with almost all of the Apollo kids. But the way that the sun was shining on you made your eyes like gems and every once and a while you ran your hands through your hair, which was not helping Nico with his blush.

Hazel let out another laugh and that brought his attention back to her. “Yeah Nico, sure you don’t have a crush on him”, Hazel spoke before placing a kiss on Nico’s cheek and walking away. Nico grunting and muttered some things in Greek before looking back at you.

This time you caught his gaze and you smiled and waved at him. Nico turned away and walked away. Why did you have to look so good? Nico assumed it was because of your father, he was the son of Aphrodite.

But you didn’t change when people looked at you.

Normally the Aphrodite kids changed slightly depending on who looked at them. But you didn’t, which was weird since your father did that. You just looked good no matter what.

Though Nico didn’t know if this was true, this was just what he’s heard. Nico shook his head and looked back. He could see you entering the Hades Cabin and saying goodbye to your friend. You looked amazing.

Nico wished he was your friend, but he was too scared. Too scared of you, and his love for you. So maybe Nico did have a crush on you.

But he would never say that out loud.
