Some Gaz for the necromancer!Soap & ghost!Roach au :

Gaz : You remind me of a cat sometimes

Soap : Yeah? Why? Most people say I'm a dog for some reason.

Gaz : That's because you're a himbo. I think you're a cat because sometimes you freeze and stare at an empty corner of the room as if you're seeing something I can't see. What are you looking at, ghosts?

Soap : 😀☝️😐😅

Roach : Don't tell him, he's our main source of fun-

Gaz : Hey, I just found out there's a haunted house not that far away and I've been binge watching ghost hunting videos lately, how about we rent some equipment and go try to find ourselves a ghost?

Soap : Oh uh....

Roach : Say yes, please say yes I've always wanted to go ghost hunting!

Soap : Sure.

Then at the haunted house there isn't a single ghost, except Roach, who makes all their equipment go crazy all by himself, and who has the time of his life. Gaz thinks he experienced something huge and Soap doesn't have the heart to tell him that his army of ghosts were actually just a dead Welsh madman cackling like the menace for society that he is from the top of the stairs...

Okay Hana, hear me out. Current Lilia with General Lilia Tsum.

How much chaos is going to go down? 😂

Hello Syrenkitsune 🌺💕🌸

What’s that I hear? People screaming and NRC is on fire? Ah, so that’s why 😂😂 Jkjkjk

This can go so many ways. I can see current Lilia kind of poking at his younger tsum self just for giggles you know? Kind of a flashback to how he used to be and, wow, what a hot head he was.

General Lilia even in his Tsum form gives me feisty cat vibes. I can see him alert and protecting Malleus from the sidelines. But also kind of running away from our diasomnia.

Which makes me wonder…did he also go through the trauma of book 7 🤔 I think it would be heartbreaking and yet kind of funny. To see General Lilia just…running with an egg on his back and either chucking his hatchet or bulldozing through enemies 😂

General Lilia is also powerful and strong, maybe even stronger than our Lilia so I can see them tousle a bit 😂

Now, General Tsum is not dumb. He will find Lilia’s weakness and use it against him. 👀 He won’t use diasomnia because family feelings but there’s you.

You’re just a human right? It doesn’t matter. But oh it matters

The way Lilia freezes when he sees his General tsum on you. Daring him.

Lilia could shred him right now to pieces. Suddenly Lilia has claws out.

But I feel it also kind of back fires on general tsum too 🤣🤣 you hold this tsum close and comment how cute it is and you’re reminded of your dream adventures.

Giving it love and hoping it has an easier life and hoping it knows how loved he is.

And then you kiss him and both the tsum and our Lilia freezes.

You know that scene in Lilo and stitch?? Where Lilo puts a flower necklace on stitch and he freezes and falls? Yeah, that’s general tsum.

Suddenly he’s frozen and you’re pretty sure it’s becoming hot from how flustered he is. 🤣💕

Our Lilia on the other hand is pouting, that was his kisses!! How dare? He didn’t think his tsum would truly hurt you but to steal his affection? Now’s he’s sulking 🤣

I can see general tsum leaning into you, shocking you both. But you can’t help but smile and just cradle it close to your heart.

General tsum sees how his counterpart is with you. Maybe, just maybe, he can let himself rest with you.

And our Lilia feels a part of him heal just from the sight 🥹💕

Anskskshshshs this got deep and tender 😂🥹💕💞 I can’t help it with them 🥹🥹💚💚

After y/n (oldest mikaelson sibling) acted as a Mom because Kol was hysterically crying about not having a mom a week ago for some reason

Kol snuggled next to y/n on the couch: I like you better as a sister than a mom

Y/n: Yeah?

Kol: And you like me better as a brother than a rabbit, right?

Y/n: Oh, yes...yes I do

Kol sniffling: I hit Klaus today

Y/n: you hit him?

Kol: ...before I bit him

Y/n, raising an eyebrow: you bit him?

Y/n, sighing: you really shouldn't have

Klaus, glaring: she's right

Cue Klaus chasing a terrified and screaming Kol

Elijah, walking into the room: what did he do this time?

Y/n: you don't even want to know

Don't know if this makes sense, but I wanted to use this scene from lilo and stitch cause it's one of my favorite movies and I think it would be Kol's too.

-send in requests for flufftober this year!!!!!

FLASH HEADCANONS!

Where I take a fandom and give a Headcanon for Every. Single. Character.

Twisted Wonderland! #1

Here we go!

Riddle: whenever a bug lands on him he freezes. Just stops.

Ace: His parents always shut down his beliefs. Very much a 'Stay in line and You'll be fine' type of family. (If requested I will rant on my HC Ace backstory)

Deuce: He calls his mother every day and one day she just starts crying and is all like 'Im so proud of you. You've changed so much and I love you.' and Deuce started crying too.

Cater: Does not actually care that much about Magicam. He just needed something to base his personality off of.

Trey: Uses southern insults All. The. Time. People talk to him and he's just 'Well good for you!' and people think he's the nicest.

Leona: If you put a weighted blanket on him he will just fall over like that one scene in Lilo and stitch.

Ruggie: Knows everyone. And I mean EVERYONE. Try to introduce him to someone new and he'll just be like 'OMG my old friend!' yeah.

Jack: Named his cactus Paula. Also Talks to it and uses it like a doll. (Like that one scene in DRDT)

Azul: His first experience with a land dweller was when he saw a coin fall from the surface and he followed it. There was a language barrier so he couldn't talk to them. He wonders how they're doing some days.

Jade: Had a bonding moment with Jack over their love for plants (mushrooms and cacti) also eats mushroom-spinach pizza (like me!)

Floyd: He bites. Also he's banned from playing against other schools in Basketball because of the sheer amount of fouls he gets. Jamil is so done.

Kalim: Will summon a rainbow to cheer someone up. He's precious.

Jamil: Doesn't actually hate Kalim. He just needs to be mad at someone. Oh also he cooks for the Basketball club and brings food to practice. Ace is his biggest fan.

Vil: Godly eye makeup. He's the one who gave Rook his feather in his hat.

Epel: Bad Ass Mother Fucker. He prefers to fight with his tounge rather than his fists. The only one to realize Trey's passive aggressiveness.

Rook: Will bring back fresh meat from his hunts. Him and Jade bring the best ingredients to the Cafeteria and no one knows.

Idia: one time he hid from people in an empty classroom for several hours after school. Ortho almost sent a search party.

Ortho: Spends hours analyzing his friends. Like as a hobby. He brings them perfectly planned gifts and they all love it.

Malleus: Lilia cuts his hair. He also polishes his horns. He secretly really enjoys Sebek's loyalty just wished he was quieter.

Silver: Takes care of the horses so well. They love him and will only accept food from him.

Sebek: He can be surprisingly quiet if you ask nicely. He gets loud again if he gets worked up. Autistic.

Lilia: He loves his sons. He ends up taking care of the whole Campus. No one in NRC can take care of themselves properly so he does it. Mockingbird by Eminem coded

Crowley: He shows up randomly and helps students. Lilia is taking a student to the infirmary? He's there and takes them for him. Leona is asleep in the botanical garden? Crowley kicks him away from the path. The teachers are so done with the chaos and are ready to combust? He's there. He will make the chaos worse and somehow contain it at the same time.

Crewel: He stays stocked up on potions ready to help any students that are ill, tired, or in any sort of pain. He will let you sleep in his classroom and will pull you into his office if he thinks somethings up. Many students have cried in front of him.

Trein: Will go out of his way to include history not taught in textbooks. Stuff about gay rights, racism, trans right, war crimes, fun facts about political leaders, etc. He does it all in the most monotone voice ever.

Lucius: The best cat. Used to be a stray wandering campus. Will bring gifts to students it likes. Recognized Leona as one of its own.

Vargas: Always down to help students. Oh you have Asthma? Good thing I have SEVENTEEN EXTRA INHALERS. You seem to be struggling a little why don't you sit down? Exercise without rest is as good as no exercise at all.

Sam: Will give freebies to students who need it. Oh you skipped lunch to study for a test? Good thing I have a sandwich just for you! Your pen broke? Which one do you want? Also will tell you all the tea.

Grim: Whenever he eats those blot crystals he suddenly knows all of the victims trauma which he reports to Yuu.

Yuu: Has serious conversations with Overblot victims. The best non licensed therapist.

Authors Note: It's 1:23 AM. I'm going to sleep.

Hello! For an art request, how about drawing a switcheroo of clothing with lami and Doflamingo and law and Cora, adult version or children version? Imagining lami and law wearing their clothes while doing those little dramatic dance poses from Lilo and stitch as Lilo tries to teach stitch Elvis Presley stuff gets me cracked up!

Of course, just a suggestion do with this what you will. Oh and thank you for pretty much existing, the world would be a little bit more boring without you in it 😁

Here's some Trafalgar's in the Donquixote's attire.

I might revisit this to do some goofy memes with the lilo and stitch scene, because that sounds cute!

Thank you for existing as well!! Your kind words have been on my mind since you sent this ask 😭♡♡♡

#art #ask #doffys glasses? thrown on the ground #corazon's hat? tossed to the side #the only hat law wears in this house is fluffy seal hat

Hiii, can you please please please do dating Bridgette Headcannons? Preferably with a Gender Neutral or a Female Reader?

Yesyesyesyesyes YESSS! Would you all believe me if I said Bridgette wasn't one of my faves till I started this blog but now, I LIVE FOR WRITING FOR HER!! SHE'S JUST SO FUN OMG!

More Bridgette Hcs!!

^also there making the same face which is ADORABLE OMGGG anyways,

contents: Fem!reader (reader is referred to as lobster mother and as bridgette's gf), I am not endorsing lobster stealing I am just acknowledging it.

I'm gonna start right off with a crack headcannon. You both are the moms to a lobster family stolen from a fancy restaurant Bridgette got a coupon for after winning a sponsored surfing tournament.

They live in a beautiful tank with all the amenities little lobsters would need. Their names are, Susie, Snips, Dive, And dine in.

Dine in is named after the sign hanging next to the tank.

You have nights where you stay inside and test out vegetarian recipes.

If you suck at surfing:

one time after a particularly, uh, 'epic' wipe out of yours, Bridgette felt the need to bring reinforcements, the woman who taught her everything. Her mother. While meeting your girlfriend's mom for the first time ever would usually be anxiety inducing anytime, having her witness you manage to get on the open water and stand on the board, but somehow managing to have the board turn up right and smack you dead in the face before you fell under water is certainly an ice breaker.

^ that story will be told to any member of Bridgette's family learning to surf afterwards. "Oh you're doing fine! At least you're not as bad as Bridgette's girlfriend!"

If you're good at surfing however you get to have loads of aesthetic moments surfing together, think that one scene from Lilo and stitch with Nani and David before lilo and stitch almost drown to death.

Bridgette genuinely is one of the most understanding people you've ever met, if you're uncomfortable with something or someone she'll be there to help make you feel more comfortable.

REALLY likes watching documentaries about marine life with you, cuddling on the couch under a blanket while learning various facts.

Takes you to beach clean ups with her.

I like to think she has various hoodies, both oversized and cropped in her collection to the post she doesn't notice you stealing some of them until she sees you wearing one.

She sucks at ice skating. Like really bad. She falls over every five seconds. So if you are good at skating you get to have her cling to your arm for balance,

But if you also suck, you get to fall ✨together✨

Her love language is quality time, just like how she enjoys taking you to partake in her hobby of surfing. She also loves participating in your hobbies no matter how niche. Making sculptures of chicken heads? She'll make her best chicken head she can, as long as she's spending time with you.

And finally she LOVES it when you kiss her freckles! It gives her butterflies.

I love your wing au so much!!! I like to imagine Wind, Four and the other smaller members of the chain like to huddle under the wings of the bigger boys for warmth and comfort.

Do you have any other headcanons of the boys in your wing au to share?

AHHHH!!! Thank you!!! I'm so glad you're enjoying it so far!!! But oh my god yes!!! They for sure cuddle and huddle under the bigger boys wings all the time! Some more willingly than others tho lol 😂

But of course! I ALWAYS have more headcanons to share I'm so glad that you asked!

Linked Universe Winged Au Headcanons:

Time - I briefly went over this in the Preening post I made a little while back, but Time is oftentimes kind of the "safety net" for the other boys. Whether it's helping them hide from the wrath of the other members of the group or simply staying awake through the night to make sure they rest, Time is always there to support and catch his boys whenever and however they need him. However, he very rarely is the one to initiate physical contact and prefers to simply wait for the others to come to him. This is because he can have a tendency to be a bit overbearing and overprotective, and after the incident with Wind, he's had to learn to step back a little and trust that his boys will come to him when they need him. Because of this, he only initiates contact when he deems it absolutely necessary. He's also got the biggest wings in the group by far which makes him perfect for cuddles and an excellent shield from the rest of the world for those hidden beneath them.

I also headcanon that he secretly really hates the rain. He may have the Song of Storms at his beck and call, but it turns out that giant, soggy wings combined with heavy armor isn't very pleasant to try to travel, fly, or fight with. However, despite his own general dislike of the rain, he does not hesitate to sacrifice himself and his wings to be an umbrella of sorts for others in the group, especially the younger ones.

He's also VERY good at climbing trees. The guy grew up in a magic forest with a giant tree for a dad of COURSE he's good at climbing trees. The first time he beat Wild in a race left the rest of the group in complete and utter awe. He may be the oldest of the Links, but he's still got plenty of tricks up his sleeves.

Twilight - Twilight is the ultimate big brother and no you cannot change my mind. However, this means that he does have the big brother tendency to give noogies whenever he hugs people and overall just abuses his larger size to flop all over the others. Basically imagine that scene with Nani in Lilo & Stitch where she falls on top of Lilo claiming that gravity was increasing on her. That scene combined with the energy from large dogs who are convinced that they are actually lap dogs. That's Twilight. He's got a lot of love to give and often makes great efforts to ensure that everyone gets it regardless of their protests or if they actually want it at the moment. However, even though he does tend to show his affection in sometimes sillier ways, he can be very serious and will not hesitate to either push the others out of harms way or literally pull them closer under his wings when needed. In other words, while he's a bit of an overgrown puppy at times, he's also got a powerful bite to match his bark.

As for random headcanons, I headcanon that whenever Twilight gets wet he has a subconscious tendency to shake out his hair and/or wings like a dog. Gone for a swim? Shake. Coming inside to get out of the rain? Shake. Someone threw a bucket of water at him? Shake. While overall a harmless quirk, it has resulted in a lot of laughing (Wild) and cursing (Legend) from the others. He always tries to claim that he does it because he's just trying to get an early start on preening and drying off (no one believes him).

Sky - Sky is an absolute MASTER when it comes to cuddling. No one can resist his charm and those that try often find themselves gently persuaded under his wings regardless. He's got very large, fluffy wings that make cuddling ideal and has a tendency to "scoop" the others under his wings. He also has a habit of treating everyone who comes to him as his, "baby birds" regardless of their age or size. While it is very cute to see younger members like Wind or Hyrule tucked under his wings, it does make for a very funny sight when he does it to Time or Warriors. On top of that, Sky is also well known for his "magic wings" that can make anyone fall asleep when huddled beneath them.

A silly little headcanon I have about Sky is that he oftentimes "fluffs up" whenever he wakes up or falls asleep. It usually makes his hair, wings, and overall appearance appear very disheveled and the others like to tease him for it, especially since he's one of the main Links who insists on preening the others.

He also really likes fish. No other explanation for it other than he never had the chance to try it before leaving Skyloft and is equally fascinated and horrified by all the different varieties.

Warriors - I headcanon that he's not actually a huge cuddler the majority of the time! However, he does secretly love it whenever Time silently pulls him under his wings. This is because I believe Warriors generally has a hard time asking for help due to his history as a military leader where any sign of weakness can risk causing doubt or disloyalty within troops. On top of that, he also has the, "I'm the hero" complex which means that he generally prefers to help and comfort others rather than ask for help or comfort in return. Because of this, he loves it when the others (especially Wind) come to him and tuck themselves into his side because he gets to feel needed while still secretly finding and receiving comfort in return. The rest of the group know this, so they often purposefully position themselves near him to subtly help him whenever they can tell he's especially stressed or upset.

I headcanon that Warriors is actually an excellent musician, especially when it comes to the violin. Everyone always talks about how Legend is an excellent musician, but I feel like no one considers the possibility of other members of the group also having musical talents. Also he's a momma's boy. You take one look at that man and tell me you DON'T think he was a momma's boy. In this essay I will-

Legend - Legend is a prickly little shit when it comes to cuddling. He generally pretends that he doesn't like it when in reality his inner child is SCREAMING for someone to look after him for a change. However, instead of confronting those emotions like a mature individual he usually chooses to project them onto the younger members of the group instead. He's been nicknamed the "broody hen" of the group for this behavior as it often results in him being especially prickly and almost possessive of the others, especially Hyrule and Wind. However, when he IS forcibly pulled under wing he has a tendency to essentially "burrow" like a rabbit into the other persons side. He does in fact, hate that he does this as it reminds him of his "cowardly bunny heart" but the others all secretly find it adorable.

Legend's handwriting is HORRIBLE. He may be able to SPEAK several languages, but writing them is a whole other story. I also headcanon that this is due in part to him developing some sort of hand tremor that started when he and his ship got blasted with lightning in Links Awakening. He's trained himself to not let it affect his fighting skills, but writing is ROUGH.

Hyrule - Hyrule absolutely soaks up physical affection like a sponge. He's basically been alone his entire life and has had countless monsters chasing him for his blood for the majority of his life let him have his rest and hugs. Because of this, he absolutely adores cuddling and being cuddled in return! However, even though he loves it when others comfort and preen him, he finds it a bit frustrating that the others don't often come to him for comfort in return. He knows that they (usually) won't hesitate to come to him whenever they need his magic for physical healing, but it does hurt his feelings a bit that they don't often come to him for emotional healing. He's a bit like Wind in that regard where he wishes that they would trust him more.

As for silly headcanons, I'm a firm believer that Hyrule would eat sidewalk chalk if given the opportunity. I can't exactly explain why, but I feel like he would because he believes that sidewalk chalk and Smarties taste the same.

Wild - Wild is a bit of a complicated case in the way that he will gratefully accept any and all hugs and cuddles, but rarely asks for them. Listen, the guy may be able to speak after losing all his memories but some more personal things like asking for help are still a work in progress. Because of this, he loves it when other people are able to read him and determine his needs simply from what they see. However, because he loves this so much he will sometimes purposefully act out or behave in such a way that he knows will get the others to fuss over him rather than simply ask for cuddles. This is usually expressed in his preening habits or his general rough housing and teasing with the other members of the group.

I headcanon that he occasionally dreams of his past life before the Calamity. He very rarely actually remembers what it is his brain was trying to show him, so it often leaves him more upset than before he went to sleep because he feels like a failure for, "forgetting them twice."

On a less angstier note, I also headcanon that he would be stupidly good at Legos. Like, you know those kids that would build everything EXCEPT what they were "supposed" to build with the sets they received? That's exactly how Wild would be.

Four - Four is NOT a big fan of physical affection despite the others many attempts. He's a very independent person and often feels overwhelmed or claustrophobic when the others try to pull him in too close. The rest of the group have found that the best way to show physical affection towards him is through pats on the back/shoulders and hair ruffles rather than the usual flurry of feathers and hands. However, Four does love cuddling when he's split into well...Four individuals. He's much more comfortable cuddling with his other counterparts (and shadow) so it's a big adjustment getting used to the rest of the group all also trying to get close. He is getting better though! Right now his favorites are Time and Warriors because they keep to themselves and don't ask any hard questions.

I headcanon that Four is just perpetually cold. This guy does NOT handle the cold well and always has frozen toes and hands. The others complain about this often because he likes to touch them with his frozen limbs. Time is the most frequent victim of this.

Wind - This guy LOVES any and all kinds of physical affection EXCEPT for preening. He finds a lot of comfort in others tucking him under their wings and looking out for him, but hates it when others underestimate or try to coddle him because of it. He also finds a lot of joy in being a source of comfort for the others because he loves feeling needed and getting opportunities to be a "big" brother makes him feel like a real hero. As a warning though, he does have a tendency to tackle his victims he wants to cuddle with and even occasionally succeeds in full on knocking them over. He also kicks in his sleep. Sky discovered this the hard way.

As for other headcanons, I saw someone who reblogged one of my polls said that he puffs his feathers up a lot to appear bigger or more intimidating because he's seen it work with Time and Twilight. So yes, he does do this it's canon now but it's not very effective.

I also headcanon that Wind tends to flap his wings repeatedly whenever he gets really excited! It is very cute but there have also been many causalities as a result of this.

Bonus:

Ravio - He LOVES physical affection and has quite literally broken down Legend's house and emotional walls. He also frequently mimics sounds and voices and yes he does use this to bother Legend. Legend no longer trusts the sound of knocking because he assumes it's just Ravio messing with him. The tax collectors trying to contact him were not amused.

this is less of a request and more of a silly thought that i wanted to share! i discussed this with another moot once but like... sampo would be such an asshole brother dude. in the most loving and affectionate way, of course!! but he would be such a little SHIT to have as a sibling LMAO he's the type of brother you would want to punch. lovingly, of course...... but still punch.

HE WOULD BE HE SO WOULD!! i think he would be like my brother (i'm projecting, i'm projecting so much) so he'd find it hilarious to jump out of corners to scare his sibling. also just straight up lying to them. nothing actually serious, but one of his favourite hobbies is tricking them into believing the dumbest shit he could come up with. bonus points if he can manage to get them to tell it to others with complete sincerity.

"hey, clara! did you know that if you plug an automaton into a charging port they glow like fairy lights?"

"huh?? really? that's so cool!"

sampo is also the kind of brother to insult everything about his sibling's existence but get incredibly offended if anyone agrees with them. like no susan, you cannot talk like that with THAT hair. how dare they, honestly. that is HIS sibling to insult and HIS only.

also you know that one scene from lilo and stitch, when nani just collapses on lilo saying 'oh noooo gravity is increasing on me...' he would do that to them as well. he's just an absolute little shit when it comes to his sibling. he loves them of course! and they love him back, but that does not stop them from wanting to punch him all the time.

Dude, I Love Fishing

A few days off between comeback stages and your boyfriend wants to go fishing, he's pretty lucky you love him.

pair: Yunho x Reader

w/c: 1.3k

a/n: Just another fluffy Yunho one-shot, also the number of times I accidentally deleted this post while editing is embarrassing, anyways I hope you guys enjoy it!!! Any feedback is appreciated, and any interactions are welcomed and loved! Also ironically the use of a Seventeen song has no correlation with my recent dive into them. Also I definitely did not take or make any of the photos just used them for the header....that I did make....Okay enjoy!!!

tags: @yunbug, @starillusion13

Masterlist

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Comeback season was rough, between recording, rehearsals, outfits and fittings, photoshoots, stage testing, and shooting music videos, promos, teasers, and doing interviews…you could say it’s a full time job. Yeah, comeback season was rough, Comeback season for Ateez? Never stops, with the boys getting bigger and better every comeback it was hard to get them to sit still for even a moment, not that they would, it’s like babysitting hyperactive 3 year olds who just got told it was nap time but they “don’t need a nap they can stay up forever.” but probably less spit and more “you’re not the boss of me.”

“Wooyoung in this moment I very much AM the boss of you.” I groaned trying to get him to stop so I could hear the directions the GPS was taking us. “Do you want to get lost?!”

“We’re in Seoul! We can’t possibly get lost!” he threw his hands up in the air.

“And you know Seoul well enough that if I turn off this GPS you can get us there On Time?” I raised my eyebrow and he looked out the window. “That’s what I thought.”

“I can-!” he started

“Wooyoung-ah, please don’t torture my poor girl, I do that enough at home.” Yunho spoke up from the middle row.

“EWWWW!” came a chorus of voices.

“Not like that!!!!” he waved his hands in front of his face.

“Even I knew that one was coming Yu.” I sighed now on the receiving end of questions of my personal life.

His torture by the way is the sweaty hugs after dance practice before he showers because he just can’t wait that long to hug me, the way he lays on top of me while watching tv or a movie and I mean FULL BODY WEIGHT almost like that scene from Disney’s Lilo and Stitch where Nani goes “Oh no gravity is increasing on me!” only he does it because it’s “much more comfortable”, the endless times he’s had me read the Spider Man comics to him because he likes the character voices I make, not to mention we’ve seen every version a few times. He’s decided to cook dinner a few times only he’s wanted to experiment and try things without a recipe, which is fine, but it’s always stuff he’s never tried making before, last time he mixed up sugar and salt….again….Yeah, I would say he puts me through a few trials at home….I wouldn’t change them, in fact I kind of miss it when he’s away on tour and I’m stuck back home.

“y/n!?” Yunho called out from the kitchen. Here comes the soup popsicles again…

“Yeah?” I sighed and put down my book.

“We should take a trip!” he announced coming into the room. “Why are you closing your eyes with your hand out?”

“Huh? Oh uh….nothing. A trip? What kind?”

“Let’s go to the lake! We can go fishing! Bring the guys along and everything!”

“Fishing? Yunho you know I don’t like fishing, it’s…hard (weird)”

“Oh come on Jagiya, pleaseeeee, it’ll be like a beach trip or something, water, swimsuits, picnic!”

I sighed. “Fine.”

It was in fact, NOT like the beach, I’m covered head to toe in waterproof clothing, the most shapeless pair of waterproof overalls or waders, wellingtons, a vest with way too mant pockets, a floppy hat, and a waterproof shirt…oh and a life vest.

“You look beautiful” he smiled, I took a photo as he put on his life vest.

“You look ridiculous.” I chuckled at his outfit, it was normal…save for the Spider-man life jacket that was too small…

~~~~

“Yunho that’s for kids…” I said as we browsed our local Department Store.

“Nuh uh!!” he shook his head and smiled. “It says 5 plus y/n! I’m plus! I’m over 5!”

“I’m starting to doubt that.” I mumbled as I put it in the cart.

“Aw no way!!! Jagiya!” he called from behind me.

I turned and nearly fell over laughing, he found a pair of wayyyy too small goggles as well, he looked like one of those watermelons with rubber bands stretched around it until they burst.

“Yu, you’re gonna hurt yourself if you get those.” I snorted…never did that in my last relationship.

~~~~~

“Well good thing I don’t have to impress anyone then hmm?” he gave me that face. “Come on I’ll catch the best fish for us to eat tonight.”

“We could’ve just gone to the store.”

“But this way it’s a date.”

“Grocery shopping is a date.”

“Okay fine you got me there.” he smiled. “But it’s nice to get some fresh air during comeback season!”

“Yu….it smells like mud…”

“Earth! I love it!” he smiled. “Come on I figure we can try the boat first.”

How did I let him talk me into this?

“Yunho?”

“Hmm?” he turned towards me.

“How much longer are we going to be out here?” I looked at him. “We’ve been out here for hours already.”

“Until you catch one too.”

“I’m fine not catching one.” I chuckled. He’s caught 5…who knew he was so good at it.

“Maybe if you don’t catch one in an hour.”

“Okay, fair enough.”

We waited…he started humming….it sounds kind of familiar.

“생각처럼 쉬운 게 없네요

매일 생각해요 난 어떻게 해야 할지

도착했다 싶을 때, 다시 시작이네요

앞이 깜깜할 때도” Yunho hummed softly.

“Whatcha singing?” I looked at him.

“Just something stuck in my head.” he smiled.

“소용돌이치는 하루 속에

사소한 행복을 나에게 줘서

비어 있는 내 두 손에

세상의 모든 미소를 쥐여줘서”

“Seventeen?” I raised an eyebrow as he got louder.

He started swaying a little.

“Yunho be careful, you’re rocking the boat.” I looked at him….it was too late.

“소용돌이치는 하루 속에

사소한 행복을 나에게 줘서

비어 있는 내 두 손에

세상의 모든 미소를 쥐여줘서

가파른 길에 숨이 찰 때도

추운 날 길 잃은 때도

따듯한 온기와 함께 손을 내밀어주는!!!” he exclaimed standing up and what do you know the boat tipped over. “YUNHO!”

I broke the surface of the water.

“You owe me a new phone.” I looked at him after we swam back to the shore with the boat.

“Gladly.” he smiled and wrapped a towel around me still humming.

“You’re lucky I love you.” I huffed.

“I’m very lucky indeed.” he kissed my cheek but grimaced at the taste left on his lips.

“Yeah let me guess I taste how the lake smells?”

“No no just a piece of algae in my mouth…”

“I don’t believe you.” I sighed and we made our way to go get cleaned up and the boathouse.

“You know what they say, shower together and save water.”

“Are you seriously horny after tipping the boat over into a fish pond…and there’s mud in my hair?”

“What can I say…the mud really adds texture.” he chuckled.

“New phone and a new boyfriend.” I nudged him.

“Awwwwww come on.”

After I took my shower…alone. We sat on the deck to eat the lunch/dinner we brought along. I didn’t catch a single fish, I got knocked out of the boat and I lost my phone….

“You didn’t catch a fish but you caught one thing?”

“....yeah?” I looked at him knowing it was going to be bad.

“This boot!” he held up the waterlogged boot I got before he knocked us over dancing.

“I totally thought you were going to say ‘My Heart’” I laughed a little.

“Nah, you caught that a long time ago.” he smiled and pushed my wet hair behind my ear.

“You’re so annoying Jeong Yunho.”

“And you are the light of my life l/n f/n……D.I.L.F” he spelled out.

I spit. “What!?”

“Dude I Love Fishing!” he smiled and looked at me.

“Yunho! That’s not what that means!!!!” I laughed and hit his arm.

As we walked back to the car Yunho held up the boot again.

“Should we-”

“No we are not keeping the boot.” I chuckled. “We can get matching phone cases this time.”

“Well I am keeping you, so I guess I win.” he smiled. “Can I pick out the phone case?”

“Fine…you win.”

I am never going fishing again.

"I WANT SWINGS PAPA WE DONT HAVE SWINGS" Mei screamed beginning to push against Macaques leg. Macaque sighed and looked over at Nezha, currently in his adult form, watching the scene amused.

"are you gonna help me?" Macaque asked while the kids assulted his legs. Nezha merely raised his eyebrows and gave a small smile before reverting to his true form and running over to push against him as well.

"park" he said with a serious expression.

Macaque groaned loudly and leaned back, an idea forming in his mind.

"LETS GOOOOOO""PAPAAAAAA'"park"

This is the only post from my reddit account I will properly archive on this tumblr, as it is the only one that I think is truly interesting. I have had this post saved in drafts for 4 days before the deletion of my account so no one can find my cringey reddit. Enjoy!

Note: some of the sources I got from this youtube video. Check it out! Don't worry, I did a lot of my own research as well. Special thanks to some users on my original reddit posts, the tumblr blog lostdisney, and more for helping or showcasing some cool stuff along the way.

Do you recognize this dog?

Chances are, if you were an animation fan or Disney fan in the mid 00s, you might. This is the story of that dog and how his film ultimately transformed into Bolt, the arguable first movie in the Disney revival era. No, seriously.

Lilo & Stitch & Chris Sanders

In the early to mid 90s Disney was releasing a slew of movies that were massively popular and successful for the company, an era that is collectively known by Disney and Animation fans as "The renaissance era" of Disney. However, by the late 90s and early 2000s, things began to shift for Disney, as strong competitors began to pop up, particularly Dreamworks and Pixar (which weren't out-right owned by Disney, just had movies presented by Disney at the time) were wowing audiences with CGI imagery and stories that went against the grain of typical Disney fare. To make things worse for Disney, they were now releasing films that were not the big box-office successes of past ones and did not gain the critical praise Disney once had.

A new smash success was needed, but it would take nothing short of a miracle to happen, a visit from an angel if you will.

Luckily that angel would come in the form of animator Chris Sanders, who had worked on Disney movies in the past before, but this movie would be his first director debut. This movie would transform and grow in a behind-the-scenes story that is amazing by itself, eventually releasing as Lilo & Stitch. Lilo & Stitch was just the success Disney needed at the time and now the animation world as well as Disney were looking forward to Sanders' next big move.

The next mov(i)e

On August 16th 2004, Disney announced the creation of three new projects: A Day with Wilbur Robinson, Rapunzel Unbraided, and the main focus of this piece: American Dog. Then on August 10th, 2005, Disney revealed more about the production at that years SIGRAPH event including various pieces of concept art, a short looping animation of the central moment of the film alongside various locations, and a brief plot summary.

The comments on ain't it cool forums had some who were excited about the upcoming film...

Looks great. by Daddylonghead Man, that painting of the poker game is beautiful. Is American animation learning something from the Triplets of Belleville, maybe? What great cartoon gangsters! the design of this looks great. i'd go see it. by g_mo_d the best looking stuff ive seen from disney in years.

and some that were more critical…

"Lilo and Stitch" was a bore... by Mr. Waturi I love a kids movies... "Iron Giant" and "Monsters, Inc." being my favorites. I actually walked out of "Lilo and Stitch." It was cute without being funny, animated without being interesting. The concept was fine, but the movie just dragged. The stills from this movie look nice, though. Looks like the same artist that creates the comic book about the polar bear and kid.

Oh Hell no. by Krahnos When are we going to grow up from overly cartoonized characters?Christ. I have sever reservations about this... whatever it is.

Despite a few criticisms, things were still looking up for American Dog, with many curious about how the director of "Lilo & Stitch" would follow up his wonderful story with another one. That answer would come from Jim Hill Media and would build up over the years from input from a variety of animators that had worked on the project or witnessed its production.

The plot

Henry, a famous TV dog, finds himself stranded in the Nevada desert. Out in the world for the first time, Henry's tidy life of scripted triumph has come to an end, and his 2,000 mile trek through the real world is just beginning. -Jim Hill

From the creator of Lilo & Stitch comes the charmingly twisted story of a Canine TV star who finds himself stranded in the most forsaken hundred miles of Nevada with an oversized bunny and a testy cat. -Disney

Henry is a dog that was adopted as a puppy by a Hollywood studio and grew up as an actor for a hit television spy series, starring a cast of characters inspired by Ocean's Eleven. The concept art seems to tell a specific "episode" of Henry playing poker and stealing all the money.

Henry seemingly has everything: fame, fortune, and star power.

However, Henry lacks a real home life as at the end of each filming session, Henry is locked up in a dark cage or room and his life is put on hold until the filming of the next episode.

To Henry, this is normal, so he believes that what he does during filming is real. Then one day, a stunt goes horribly wrong and Henry gets knocked out and ends up waking up on a train going towards Nevada. After years of being served hand and foot, going through "adventures" where he always wins, and living a skewed reality on a television set, Henry has no idea how to interact with real people or get along in the real world.

If Henry attempted something he thought he knew how to do due to his scripted adventures, such as drive a car, it would not work his way and would cause a terrible situation. So Henry needs as much help as he can get.

Luckily for Henry, he comes across this help in the form of Spig, an eye-patch wearing cat (that was radioactive in early concepts), and Mr. Buttons, a radioactive rabbit that was gigantic in early drafts.

The two live in a gas station with retirement savings stored in a giant dinosaur statue and, most importantly to Henry, a classic car hung in some Christmas wire.

Henry bribes the duo to drive him back home and the two agree to it, possibly due to Ruthie, a mutant zombie girl-scout that stalks the duo and tries to kill them each night.

Along the way, the trio come across a variety of odd and quirky characters. Some of the most-documented ones were Jo Night/Knight, a Vegas waitress that meets Henry in the elevator of a safari-themed hotel. She could have potentially "used her movements" to distract a would-be assailant.

There was also The Lady in Black, an ex-circus performer who was holed up in a mansion located in the swamps of Georgia. Alongside her may have been a fez-wearing knife-throwing gorilla, though one render might indicate he was downgraded into a background prop at some point in development.

There would have also been several other characters as well that have been showcased in concept art and renders, though their involvement in the story have not been documented or discovered.

Those 2,000 miles back home would be filled from challenges, not just by the characters that the trio would meet but also the situations the trio would get into with each other! But in the end, perhaps Henry would have realized he doesn't want his Hollywood life back and finds himself living life with lifelong friends. This last bit is just a guess though.

After reading all of this, you may already have an idea what happened, but let's move forward through this story.

How American Dog became Bolt

After a couple years of moves that brought down the value of the Disney company, Eisner was kicked out of Disney and a new CEO was given the keys to the kingdom. Meet Bob Iger, starting out as ABC's person to conduct menial labor on TV sets, he would soon grow in the ranks into becoming head of ABC entertainment. When ABC was bought out by Disney in 1995, Iger was too brought in, and then would once again grow in the ranks within the larger Disney company. When the "save Disney" campaign was well over with, picking Iger was a natural conclusion for shareholders. Iger's early moves were specifically done to fix the reputation of Disney, with the largest being to fix the broken relationship between Disney and Pixar at the time. To do so he offered to buy out Pixar for 7.4 billion dollars (that's $10,272,431,932.45 in 2022 money). As an added bonus, John Lasseter, one of the heads of Pixar at the time, would now become head of Disney Animation. Some point afterwards, Lasseter went around to see how the progress was going on some of Disney's recent projects. That's when he saw American Dog's progress, after seeing two screenings of the film, Lasseter reportedly wrote down suggestions on how to fix the film. Sanders, not wanting to change his passion project, rejected all the suggestions, and so Sanders was dropped off his own project.

Take this with a large, large grain of salt, but one alleged insider in Cartoon Brew's comments described the screenings:

Man, this is so annoying. Amid, someone....please, SOMEONE get their hands on the latest story reels of American Dog. Someone from Disney steal it and give it to someone and let people watch it online. Why? Because it was AWFUL!!! I saw the latest reel (yes, I worked at Disney then) and it was the most disjointed, confusing, quirky, weird, unmarketable movie Ive seen. It was rife with plot problems, the characters were unappealing (the dog looked like a miniature moose for eff's sakes, and his giant nose took over the screen so you couldnt see his eyes, no matter what you did) Sanders was never around, and when he was, he wasnt leading, just giving weird notes and then would disappear for weeks. A-dog had ONE thing going for it, good concept art. Big effin deal. And thats fine for a film when its in early production, but this was ready for primetime, it was supposed to be final, and at the last possible second, Lasseter came in and saved the day. Bolt is WAAY better. Had Sanders stayed on the project, it would have either been severely delayed (which we couldnt afford, the execs woulda pulled the plug) or been abysmal and closed WDAS down. As it turns out, Bolt is the best animated film in a long long time from Disney (some think better than wall-e or ratatouille or the incredibles, no joke), and it just fell victim to a dumb fan-fueled movie that scored a 40-something on rottentomatoes* and bad marketing. To an outsider watching the marketing, Bolt looks like trash, but after seeing it you realize its a VERY good film. Im sorry (very sorry) for ranting, but I HATE seeing people ignorantly trashing a film, and comparing it to a film they know NOTHING about, and have built up in their mind as something amazing, when in reality it was a garbage film being directed by an absentee, flighty director who was given plenty of chances to fix his film, and didnt. Lasseter didnt pull the plug on A-Dog because it was quirky, he pulled the plug because it just wasnt working and Sanders wouldnt fix it. And it wasnt just John's opinion, we ALL disliked it, even those of us whole liked Chris very much personally. Now, this is just my opinion, but I hope I didnt ruffle too many feathers, but I just wanted you guys to know there IS another side to the story.

The book Creativity Inc.:overcoming the unseen forces that stand in the way of true inspiration gave more information on what specifically went wrong during the screenings (as well as being a more legitimate source).

A key moment in this evolution came in the fall of 2006, nine months after the merger, at a Story Trust meeting in Burbank. It happened after a fairly awful screening of American Dog) a film structured around a famous and pampered canine actor (think Rin Tin Tin) who believed that he was the superhero character he played on TV. When he found himself stranded in the desert, he had to face for the first time how his tidy, scripted life had not pre- pared him for reality-that he, in fact, had no special powers. That was all well and good, but somewhere along the way, the plot had also come to include a radioactive, cookie-selling Girl Scout zom- bie serial killer. I'm all for quirky ideas, but this one had metasta- sized. The movie was still finding its way, to say the least, so John started off the meeting, as he often does, by focusing on the things he liked about it. He also indicated he saw some problems, but he wanted to give the Disney folks the chance to take the lead on those, so instead of digging in and getting too specific, he threw the meet- ing open to the floor. Throughout the meeting the comments stayed at a superficial level, remaining strangely upbeat-judging by the commentary, you would have never known the film was in disarray. Afterward, one of the Disney directors confided to me that many people in the room had major reservations about the film but didn't say what they thought because John had kicked things off so posi- tively. Taking their cues from him, they didn't want to go against what they thought he liked. Not trusting their own instincts, they held back. John and I immediately arranged a dinner with the directors- and told them that if they ever resorted to that kind of thinking. again, we'd be finished as a studio. Not long after, Disney would have a crisis of its own on Amer- a ican Dog I mentioned earlier the emergence of a serial killer story- line, which while we prided ourselves on always remaining open to new ideas-seemed a tad dark for a family film. Despite our misgivings, though, we decided to give the movie a chance to evolve. Finding a movie's throughline always takes time, we told ourselves. But after ten months of Story Trust meetings-and very little im- provement we concluded that the only option was to restart the project. We asked Chris Williams, a veteran story artist best known for Mulan and The Emperor's New Groove, and Byron Howard, then a supervising animator on Lilo and Stitch, to step in as its di- rectors. Immediately, they began reconceiving the movie. The serial killer was tossed, and the movie was renamed Bolt.

Another reason given as to why American Dog had to be reworked was an inability to rationalize Henry's actions.

Chris Sanders: It had a lot to do with rationalizing what this dog was. “Can he drive a car or can he not?” The answer was yes and no. He can make the car go but, no, he can’t drive. And that would become a big sticking point. In my mind, that idea wasn’t that weird, it was pretty simple; in other people’s minds at the studio, it wasn’t making any sense. Ultimately I was asked, “Does he know he’s a dog or not?” The answer I gave was, “He knows he’s a dog, but has a warped idea what a dog is and does.” That answer didn’t sit well. They wanted a “yes” or “no.” Later on I equated it to Buzz Lightyear, who did NOT know he was a toy. So the “yes,” or “no,” on that would have been a simple, resounding, “no.” Very clear. My dog was more subtle, like Stitch. And that wasn’t going to get through their system. So after a long, hard session with the exec, I was without a simple answer, and I was like, “Okay, I don’t know what to tell you.”

There have been also statements from Jim Hill that Lasseter "hated Lilo & Stitch", as well as a comment from animator Melody Izza about Lasseter not liking "Sanders sensibilities".

The story of Sanders being dropped off of American Dog spread far and wide, with many critiquing the move. No matter if the story is just one of these or a combination of the three, Lasseter needed to comment on why he had to rework the movie.

Asked about the episode, Mr. Lasseter abruptly interrupted an interview to confer with publicists, asking “What can I say here?” After a brief discussion Mr. Lasseter explained that Pixar often added or replaced a director if a film needed help. “Chris Sanders is extremely talented, but he couldn’t take it to the place it had to be,” he said carefully. Mr. Sanders, who is negotiating his exit from Disney, declined to comment. “John doesn’t force his solutions on you,” said Brad Bird, who directed “The Incredibles” and is close to Mr. Lasseter. “But that doesn’t mean he is going to go quietly.”

Lasseter said more about the situation afterwards in an interview with slashfilm

Sure, yeah. You know when the merger of Disney and Pixar happened and Bob Iger and Steve Jobs asked me to be the Chief Creative Officer at Disney, as well as Pixar, you know I came in and there was a handful of movies that had been kind of started down here. "American Dog" was one of them. And I always thought that the premise of that had a lot of potential for heart, you know the character that it is a dog that stars in this kind of action TV show. And he thinks he has these real powers, and so he gets separated from the TV show and learns that he, in fact, doesn't have any powers and he's just a regular dog. But he has no idea about how to be a regular dog, and so he's taught how to be a regular dog by a cat. But it's a deeper story about this friendship, and loyalty and unconditional love that dogs have for their owners. And I think that I had put great possibilities. It's one of those difficult situations where we've done this a couple times before with "Toy Story 2" and with "Ratatouille", where the potential of film, it's just we were having kind of creative differences with reaching that potential, and so we brought on Chris Williams and Byron Howard, two young guys here to direct it, because they're so funny, but they also have a tremendous amount of heart in them. And it's always a difficult situation, because I love Chris Sanders. He's a great guy and brilliant talent, and it's always sort of difficult, but it's the right thing to do for the movie.

And so, Chris Williams and Byron Howards were put on to become the film's new directors. Several changes to the project were made afterwards. The first and main one was de-anthropomorphizing the main trio, as making the animals behave more like real animals was seen as key for Lasseter in order to fulfill a compelling suspension of disbelief. Henry no longer starred in a James Bond/Ocean's Eleven inspired spy show, now he was the star of a cheesy superhero adventure. The cat and rabbit also lose their radioactive past. The rabbit changed species into a hamster inspired by Lasseter's pet chinchilla and the cat changed genders. The trio also got new names, no longer were they "Henry", "Spig" and "Mr. Buttons", now they were "Bolt", "Mittens" and "Rhino". The main female characters, Jo Knight and The Lady in Black, were no more. Now the main female character was Penny, a teenage girl that Bolt gained a bond to, unaware that she was just an actor doing her part. This was also seen as important to Lasseter, to give a more compelling reason why the dog would want to return to Hollywood. The mid-west setting was also changed, in order to not cause fatigue with Pixar's own Cars, as both American Dog and Cars would have shared a similar setting with a similar premise around the same release time frame.

In fact, seemingly the only things not changed from the original production were the base concept: a celebrity dog, unaware that the show he's working for isn't reality, has to find the help of two other animals in order to reach home and learns about how real life works along the way. The casting of John Travolta as the main character also stayed, with the other two reported voice actors, Thomas Haden Church and Mario Cantone, being dropped off of the project. It is unknown why Travolta got to stay, but my best guess is that he was too expensive to drop once the project changed. Its also believed the train scene in the final movie

youtube

might have been an inside's homage to the train teaser or this piece of concept art.

Fan and animator reactions

Reception to the change within fan circles was full of criticism, not helped by the previews for the reworking, known as "Bolt", giving the animal characters radical redesigns that many felt were generic, especially compared to the art presented for American Dog.

A few of my favorite comments from the aint it cool forums for example:

by Ribbons Eesh. Bolt! doesn't look anything like American Dog used to. In fact it looks more like Krypto the Superdog than anything else. by R*tardo_Montalban Bolt looks like a tool of the man. He's the type of dog that plays off rebellious, but only rebels in socially and politically acceptable ways. "Let's all have an adventure fellas! But only to attain a lofty yet admirable goal, and we'll make friends along the way." by AndreZX Had to jump in on this. I just saw the production still from Bolt, looked it up and found that this is what happened to American Dog! I was devastated! This new look is 100% generic (although the painterly style of it is very impressive, I'm not impressed with the character designs at all.) I fell in love with the American Dog project the first time I saw that shot of him and the cat with the eyepatch in the convertible, and then they turned around and chopped it into this cookie-cutter crap. Lilo and Stitch is probably one of my favorite Disney movies, and it pains me to think of what they've thrown away to go with Bolt. Oh well. Only time will tell.

Many fans were also angry at the choice of Miley Cyrus as Penny, the human girl that had a bond to Bolt, due to Hannah Montana Mania at the time. The casting of Miley made many feel like Disney was trying to cash in more on the popularity of the show. The reveal that she had re-dubbed over another voice actress (Chloe Grace Moretz) for the majority of the film (Chloe's voice is used in the beginning of the movie) did not help matters much. Miley also reportedly turned away many young boys from Bolt according to some comments on Cartoon Brew:

By Annabel Cole This ties in to the point above about boys avoiding Bolt because Miley Cyrus was there. In the past ten years, Disney has shackled itself to highly visible "girly" brands: not brands that appeal to girls first but also draw boys, like Kim Possible, Pepper Ann, and Nickelodeon's Aex Mack before them, but brands that focus on girly-girls in hot pink dancing, dating, preening, shopping, and singing, either in "real life" (some Disney Channel series) or abstract fairy tale worlds. By Charles And then there was Miley Cyrus. Oh, she did a fine job; that’s not my problem. My problem was that I stood in the theatre lobby watching as Cyrus’ presence caused some older boys to change their minds about wanting to see the film. “It’s got Miley Cyrus; it’s a girl movie.”

Animators who worked on American Dog or saw its production that have spoken about it have been mostly positive. Daniel Chong felt like it was one of the great losses in animation history, but also discussed disbelief looking back towards how anyone would have thought the movie would have "made it" due to American Dog's more adult elements. Specifically the casino scene would have had Henry shot off a gun multiple times and the entire character of Jo Night was seen as questionable. Mark Anthony Austin described American Dog as "the movie that Disney were foolish enough to terminate" and thought its cancellation was "a sad thing". Melody Iza saw a tour of the studio and a slew of concept art for American Dog and thought it was silly, fun and interesting. Dan Platt described one of his models as such: "This high res CG production model of a Ford Thunderbird was originally created for American Dog but ultimately scrapped when the scenes, um…, movie changed." Perhaps I am looking too much/deep into this sentence, but to me it seems like negatively critiquing the film's plot in a way that wouldn't set off too many employer alarm bells.

However, many critics and audiences loved Bolt. The movie was also reportedly amazing in 3D according to wdwmagic. While Bolt had a lousy box office opening with tough competition, Bolt made enough money afterwards in DVD sales to please Lasseter and move forward in the future of Disney. Leading to the Disney revival era. If not downright kick-starting it.

Aftermath

Sanders was reportedly heartbroken and relieved after being kicked off from American Dog.

An individual who knows a lot about the situation wrote to take issue with the statement that Chris Sanders felt "relief" at being taken off AMERICAN DOG. Sanders had apparently been informed before last Wednesday that he was no longer going to be the director, and according to this source, was deeply disappointed, hurt and angered. The source also writes, "Chris felt like his heart had been ripped out, and he didn't expect if from someone (Lasseter) who always talks about a director-driven studio model. This was totally Chris' project from the start, he was pouring himself into it, and now he's fired."

Why was he relieved? Well, being kicked off from American Dog was the last straw for Sanders after a long time within the company thinking that the heads of Disney stifled creativity. Sanders would then leave Disney and join Dreamworks, where he would most notably work on How to Train Your Dragon and The Croods. He would then join Fox to work on a film adaptation of The Call of the Wild. During Sanders' free time, he kickstarted the webcomic Kiskaloo, a sort of Lilo & Stitch meets Calvin and Hobbes. Apparently the folks at Disney at least let Sanders keep the rights to the eyepatch wearing cat and the rabbit.

“After ‘American Dog’ changed directions I had breakfast with John Lasseter and we talked about that character and whether or not I could have that character back,” Sanders explained to us. “They actually officially released that character back to me, which had never been done before. We actually filed paperwork on it. It’s hard for me to reconcile that this character would wind up in a drawer somewhere and never be seen again. To me, it’s a living breathing thing. He said, ‘I totally get that,’ and so we figured it out…

-Chris Sanders

So the characters were lifted into becoming the main characters of the webcomic Kiskaloo, with the cat, now renamed into Ogo, having a backstory that still fits the world of American Dog.

Former Hollywood actor. Used to play the pet of an attractive middle-class family. Lost his eye at a craft-services table mishap. After that, he played the companion to an action-movie villain, and found that it suited him better. Once that franchise ran its course he was put up for adoption, but ran away. He began showing up on sets again. By using the pause function on a DVD player, you can find him lurking in the background of big-budget movies. He can be seen eating a cheese sandwich during the climactic volcanic explosion sequence of “The Last Days of Pompeii.” During a love scene in “Terror on Moonbase 12” he can be glimpsed outside a window, cleaning himself in a crater. And he shows up no fewer than seven times in the background of “Natural Corruption” – snoozing on a drawer in the morgue, toasting marshmallows on the beach during a murder, opening the lid of a mayonnaise jar with a letter opener in a police station, sleeping in the serial killer’s freezer, and fishing in a lobster tank during a grocery store shoot-out. After the studio bought a security dog to keep him away, he moved North...

The beginning of Kiskaloo also has some not so subtle references to a terrible 2007, perhaps a reference to Sanders' heartbreak of being let go from his passion project.

Meanwhile, Bolt has been largely forgotten by most. However, its legacy of kick-starting the revival era of Disney, the Iger era, and its shaky past still lives on within some fan circles.

Would it have been good?

Part of why I brought this to tumblr was due to the recent discovery of the Gibby pilot. In many odd ways, there's a lot of similarities to Gibby and American Dog. Both have been built up in fans heads, at least the fans who were aware of their existence, that they would have been the better product than what was released. But once you go deep into finding out more about "what could have been", the more you realize how bad the alternative could have been. While I believe American Dog would have been the better movie over Bolt artistically, it wouldn't have been the better movie story wise, where it really matters. Part of me wants to be wrong, and that Chris Sanders could have made the plot work, but part of me also remembers that the Croods exists.

The main problem I have with American Dog's plot, from what is out there, is how much of it seems like Sanders throwing whatever he found cool or funny to the wall without thinking of how much matches together. The concept of a celebrity dog, going cross-country with two commoners and finding the truth about reality is a very strong one. I can even see it working with the more anthropomorphized animals American Dog brings, but once you throw in stuff like visiting area 51, zombie girl scouts, and radioactive animals, the more questionable the story becomes. If the overall message of American Dog was an environmental one, where at first the radiation seems to only have cartoony effects on the world, Such as making animals larger than they should be and rising the dead. Then over time you learn the serious effects it has and Henry must choose to either keep pretending the issues don't exist at Hollywood or stay in the real world and help the effort, then it could have been a great movie, better than Bolt. But if it had the same message as Bolt does, about appreciating the real world, then its dampened due to how supernatural the real world is in this movie's world, making the fake world Henry acted in look more normal and realistic in comparison.

I am still very interested in finding American Dog despite story issues, or else I wouldn't have spent so many hours researching this movie and reuploading this story wherever I could. But I am not expecting a masterpiece.

What now?

The next best thing to do, is look more into the credits of Bolt and see if any of the other animators not listed on the Lost Media Wiki's gallery page have anything related to American Dog saved in their portfolios. I suggest not to contact them, as mass contacting causes more pain than discovery more times than not, but it would be helpful to gain more images at least for now for more insight into the lost movie.

According to an interview with Chris Sanders, he is thinking of making a movie based on his Kiskaloo webcomic, so you may see the one-eyed cat star in a feature film in the future. Just like that cat would have oh-so many years ago.

Still, many wonder "what could have been" with American Dog. The chances of any future revival or release of the movie may seem low, but hey this random internet user can dream.

*The movie he is referring to is the first Twilight movie

Aww, Lilo and Stitch! explain

Oh this is one of my favourites to think about. It's a series of one shots that uses the lilo and stitch memes/scenes to explore the concept of finding and creating your own family featuring Slade and Dick as the main pairing and all of Dick's siblings making appearances.

I think my favourite scene from that is Damian, (hit by a deaging spell) is complaining about being crushed by Dick who's simply grinning a la "gravity is increasing on me!"

Sequel to this: "Now, let the Fun Begin!" — Bar, DIO's Mansion Spring, 1988 (tumblr.com)

Second Floor hallway, DIO’s Mansion 2 hours later

Vanilla Ice: *Sweeping the floor* ...... *Hears loud noises as he gets closer to the bedroom area* Hm? *Goes to the bedrooms and hears loud music coming from Medea's room* Is she actually... *Tries to open the door, only to find that it's locked* Tch, of course she is. Medea! Open the door, Medea!

Medea: *Inside, depressed* Go away.

Vanilla Ice: *Snaps fingers* Kenny!

Kenny G: *Appears from the crawl space* Yeah?

Vanilla Ice: *Points at door*

Kenny G: *Opens hole in the wall, big enough to stick two heads inside*

Both: *Peaks inside to see her*

Medea: *Laying on her back on the floor and her legs on her bed, no sneakers, depressed, with a bag of cookies next to her, and listening to "Joan Jett and the Blackhearts" on a turntable*.....

Kenny G: When I say have a me-day, this isn't what I have in mind.

Medea: ..... *Turns to them* Leave me alone to dieeee...

Vanilla Ice: I thought you were supposed to be-

Kenny G: Baseball game got cancelled, can't see her favorite team, Soviets pressured Egypt, probably done to get USA's goat.

Vanilla Ice: Well, whatever the case, you're making too much noise, Lord DIO's asleep and doesn't want to be disturbed.

Medea: ....... *Ignores him and proceeds to turn the music up, probably asking to get killed*

Vanilla Ice: Why you little- *Tries to bust through the hole, but Kenny G uses [Tenore Sax] to grab his hips*

Kenny G: Oh no you don't, you're only going to make more noise than necessary.

Vanilla Ice: *Tries to pull himself out* But Medea's the one who started it, and she doesn't even care!

Medea: *Mouthing the lyrics to the song playing* I hate myself for loving you, can't break free from the things that you d-

Kenny G: Fine, but try not to use [Cream] this time, we just fixed the walls. *Let's him go*

Vanilla Ice: *Enters the room and turns off the turntable*

Medea: Heeey! *Gets thrown over his shoulder* WAH!

Vanilla Ice: *Carries her out of the room*

Outside the mansion Few seconds later

Vanilla Ice: *Opens the door, puts down Medea, and pushes her out* Get out!

Medea: *Stumbles a bit* Whoa!

Vanilla Ice: Forget about that stupid game! *Starts throwing money at her as well* Go to a spa! Go to a bookstore! Or go find a cursed object in the Pyramids! Do something else with your time off instead of throwing a fucking temper tantrum here! *Slams the door on her*

Medea: ....... *Looks down*.... Can you at least give me my shoes?

Kenny G: *Uses [Tenore Sax] to make a pipe that spits out her sneakers*

Medea: *Catches them* Thanks, G.

Kenny G: *From the pipe* No prob.

END SCENE

*Medea's interactions Vanilla Ice and Kenny G is inspired by Lilo and Stitch and to some extent SpongeBob

*This took a long while to finish because I couldn't come up with an ending.
