The Battle of the Frogs and Mice, from Up One Pair of Stairs of My Bookhouse by Willy Pogany (1920)

[courcgecus]

What a start of the year. Where have I been? Balancing with fulltime work, masters... rehearsals, over-work because deadlines had gone tight - taking time from my studies. The semester at uni continues two more months, in which I try to finish everything. Work, of course goes on, but let's say my free time is pretty locked until the school vacations begin.

I don't mean to disappear without saying a thing and leave people hanging, but at times I am just so stressed I cannot even think of anything extra. I try to activate myself to hop in here more than few times.

#.outofcourage #|| I am low-activity blog nowadays nghh #|| but I DO think about her and my interactions with warmth #|| and I wish to continue things #|| and whenever I wanted to spend some time doing fun things it was gaming :'D some action to give little adrenaline boost

🌿- ❝ You...? ❞ It would have been obvious to anyone. Mrs Brisby had never met real royals before, and once she met the Mouse King, she never questioned his authority. He already proved it. For no mouse she could think matched his size and strength. Even without birthright, he could easily claim one.

❝ Well, I couldn't think the more dangerous opponent to one standing against you, your Majesty... ❞ She was sincere. She, for sure, wouldn't question his power. And never she did. In fact, she had pretty much adapted to the thought he was the king of all mice, including her. Not that she had ever before known there was a king. But as laws of the nature was: the strength dominated all. Even when she possessed strength different to raw power: kindness.

❝ I have seen you out there, chasing away threats much bigger without fear! Yet, you are my King, your Majesty. I owe you my life for trusting those two rats... you are danger, whom by I could stand.❞ Her hands crossed, tilting her head.

"I'm surprised ya haven't croaked by now." He means it. He's lost a great number to all of the above. Even other mice, who weren't partial to his lot moving in, had been a little nasty. He's beginning to think there's some kind of magic shenanigan going on to make her so darn lucky.

""Rats, crows, owls. ME."

#warncdandwiles #.ic #|| pure raw STR vs kindness #|| she doesn't even realize the power she has asdsdsa

[courcgecus]

In mouse world, the Mouse King is pure strength build judging down magic users.

#.outofcourage #|| that film is my guilty pleasure Nutcracker film and I absolutely love the villain :'D #|| also as an old FromSoft game player who has played most of them through snickers at the thought #|| I always have soft spot for big grumpy #|| Bris possessing the amulet brrr

"you don't happen to be a cleric, by any chance? a doctor, surgeon? uncannily adroit with a knitting needle?" From an injured Ratigan?

BALDUR'S GATE 3 SENTENCES || Highly accepting!

🌿 -   ❝ Oh professor...❞ Mrs Brisby stared at him with concerned gaze, her hands grasping his arm. It was terrifying to find him at this state - knowing how reluctant he was to admit himself to a care. But she saw him as a hardworking man, who struggled with wrongs of the society. The cruel World of the university. By these years in his service, she believed she saw through that harsh cover. The mouse couldn't but admire his determination. He had been nothing but kind to the struggling mother of four.

❝ I am afraid I am only your housekeeper...❞ she sighed, trying to make apart if he was in pain - or trying to parse together a joke. ❝ ...but please, would you trust me once more? If I had a professional to take care of you. I promise, I will not miss a single paper on your desk.❞

#intxlligentminds #.answered #|| I could go on and on how much she cares for her employer and his wellbeing #|| it's from her point of view - but he has been nothing but kind to her when he displays it #|| bris would never think ill of him <3 please go to doctor professor XD

"you keep dangerous company" - Mouse King (he might be referring in part to himself)

BALDUR'S GATE 3 SENTENCES || Highly accepting!

🌿 -   ❝ Your Majesty... I... I do..?❞ Mrs Brisby blinks, staring up at the mouse. She couldn't think, whether the King of the Mice referred to the rats of the Thornvalley, or occasional acquaintances she greets on her way. Yes, many mice would think she had lost her mind.

She wasn't blind to his attitude and mannerisms. Somehow, she also saw something good about him. After all, he had helped her twice. ❝ ...I find it hard to think. It has been ages since I met the Great Owl-❞

#warncdandwiles #.answered #|| their alliance never stops amusing me xD #|| he has seen her trusting cat eating rats and even himself saddsasasa #|| tbh! male mice are supposedly very territorial and aggressive compared to rats so he kinda is just... king size mouse.

SENTENCE MEME BALDUR'S GATE 3 / PART ONE

i think you're past the point of saving.

together we might survive.

get me out of this damn thing.

we have no time for stragglers.

do you intend to die for a stranger?

i thought that damn thing was going to be my coffin.

you keep dangerous company.

we can watch each other's backs along the way.

enough of this chatter.

who put you in charge?

i'll trust my own judgement.

a miracle, given everything you've been through.

it'll all be for nothing if you don't find help soon.

you're alive. i'm alive. how is this possible?

seems like we're the lucky ones, judging by all the corpses strewn about.

anything's an improvement on where we just came from.

'we'? you want to stay together?

we need each other.

i can't think of better company.

i wanted to thank you again.

you should be furious, shouldn't you?

kill it yourself — you look capable enough.

i was hoping for a kind soul.

let's try to keep that lovely neck of yours in one piece.

no need for this to get messy.

i need her alive.

and to think i was ready to decorate the ground with your innards.

please, allow me to introduce myself.

of course it'll turn me into a monster.

you should travel with me.

our odds are better together.

i was ready to go this alone.

maybe sticking with the herd isn't such a bad idea.

you seem like a useful person to know.

let's hope any future acquaintances don't hold a blade to your throat by way of introduction.

no harm in a little mystery.

conversation shouldn't be made, it should be grown.

maybe i'd like to get to know you better.

i'm usually better at this.

couldn't have phrased it more repellently myself.

you don't happen to be a cleric, by any chance? a doctor, surgeon? uncannily adroit with a knitting needle?

it's not exactly a common affliction.

a parasite shared is a parasite halved.

you're both twice as tall as me but have half the bloody backbone.

no point getting killed.

second worm gets the cheese and all.

nobody's getting any damn cheese.

she obviously sees your kindness as weakness.

don't let her take advantage.

a simply 'thank you' wouldn't go amiss.

your friends abandoned you.

i've got plenty of friends who aren't soft.

let's just hope she reserves those impulses for any common foes.

what a curious way to awaken.

what is the worth of a single mortal's life?

something the matter?

you must have thoughts about our little stowaways.

thinking about it won't help.

i suppose we'd go our separate ways — not a slight on your company, of course.

no reason for us to not stay together if we get on well.

if we do survive, we'll have separate lives to return to.

let's just say it's a very person, very private acquaintance.

you're not the kind of company i'd keep willingly.

perhaps i'll return the favor at some point.

she's delightful, in a very 'look at me twice and i'll dismember you' kind of way.

i understand much beyond your comprehension.

you'd do well to observe more and question less.

and they didn't cut you from navel to neck?

i am still getting used to people like you.

that large, fleshy nose of yours looks like a mistake.

best to keep quiet, lest any drivel leak from your lips.

i do not intend to stay long in this place.

may your actions express the same mettle.

anomalies lead to surprises.

what hasn't happened may yet come to pass.

not a collaboration i'd have anticipated.

can't you tell me something real about you?

i have a great respect for privacy, especially my own.

i have a very disciplined mind.

those tricks won't work on me.

please don't try that again unless i invite you to.

we meet again, as predicted.

care to explain why you're helping me?

what kind of services can a skeleton offer?

a monster forms inside us, and you care to be idle?

i knew your kind to be fragile.

don't you know an exhausted warrior is an ineffective one?

it's a thickheaded notion in a complex circumstance.

what were you two talking about?

if that was any of your business, we'd have called you over.

your business is mine.

we're entwined.

if we're to survive, we need to trust each other.

you seem reliable.

we're overdue some good fortune.

extreme size difference couples with one partner being too big to fit in a normal double bed and even then sinking into it and their partner slides next to them

ahahahaha

haha. I find that stuff super cute

is this a “draw the squad” thing? heck I’d like to see stuff like this. size difference is Great

#|| ;u; yes

[courcgecus]

Some have that aura... to befriend rats, owls... (in rp wise cats, wolves and hounds)

Jonathan was widely known among the forest. Possibly for his knowledge being able to help them a lot with things they couldn't. Same with Mister Ages. They gained intelligence matching of humans. What a respect to have.

While Elizabeth is related, and the connection to the Mouse of NIMH welcomed her to meet the people in his past, I think her super power is also being very brave to try and reason, with whom nature would call natural enemies. I just love how Brisby can look at someone and make them push aside instincts xD

#|| I am not going to ignore in the film her status helped her - but so does connections in real life too ease making new contacts #|| I love roleplaying her now post NIMH / in different AUs as someone who overcame her struggles alone #|| after being so dependent on Jonathan and satisfied with their small life #|| and look now she is out there going and getting things done - trying to help others #|| even opening her heart - she had no tough shell keeping away people - but she chose to hide #|| Over years I have written her I just cherish these roleplays - I may be busy but I think this a lot #|| how long way she has come #|| and always offering everyone a chance to break their hard shell

Owl mounted mouse priestess

#.dusty old album || .aesthetics #|| YES

[courcgecus]

I've noticed that I really enjoy this aesthetic.

#.dusty old album || .aesthetics #|| same! xD #|| no one can stop me from giving Brisby a sword

[courcgecus]

Dramatic size differences in ships

Reblog if u agree

#|| we have no height limits -u- #|| I adore all kinds of ships <3 #|| and love can be in many shapes #|| and brisby is a pocket girlfriend

Every door and window is blocked by snow. Oh well, luckily they have enough food stored, she doesn't need to get digging.

So, who wants some special sherry trifle? (with secret ingredient, don't tell anyone. Extra sherry)

#.ic #|| I like to think even in other historical / modern AUs she gets to bring others these type of specialities xD #|| in GMD AU definitely #|| mun has been looking at recipes again asdad #|| also trying to read more periodical info for Victorian and 20-30s US ideas #|| Brisby loves to do things in kitchen so food...

[courcgecus]

Mr. Ages knocked on Mrs. Brisby's door with his hands full. " Please hurry and open up the door before I drop these. "he huffed. Martin made no attempt to move towards the door. ( formerly iihavethesword )

🌿 -   ❝ A-ah! Coming, Mister Ages! ❞ Throwing away the apron, she rushed her way to the door. Teresa and Cynthia, lifted their head off the storybook - but mother was already on her way.

Mrs. Brisby opened the door, moving out of his way. ❝ Welcome, Mister Ages! ❞ || @rolliesmuses

Let's add some sherry to bring flavour to the dish. Pours half a bottle.

#.ic #|| okay when she is feeling festive and has a chance she will be festive #|| she has most likely gifted such desserts xD #|| she mostly gifts desserts - somewhat easy and affordable - can be made better by different ingredients #|| sometimes she makes some at home
