When it comes right down to it, the root of this constant argument is simple: people want the outlaw of Sherwood Forest to belong to them, to their own ideologies. Following Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood, there were arguments that this pseudo-historical Robin would have been a member of the Tea Party (Jared Keller, 2010), or that he was clearly a libertarian (Maura Pennington, 2012). During the era of McCarthyism, Robin Hood was banned from textbooks (Alison Kysia, 2013) in the United States for “promoting communism” with its rob-from-the-rich-give-to-the-poor schtick. If you were to ask me over friendly pints at a bar, I’d tell you without hesitation that Robin Hood and the Merry Men in Sherwood Forest are a gay socialist utopia that the world needs to embrace. But none of these interpretations can encompass the entirety of the legend. It is simply too vast and too long-lived. But this is the story we are most likely to recognize: The good king is away, and his little brother was left to rule in his place. The prince is an idiot and he surrounds himself with monstrous men, and he demands everything of his people. He taxes his citizenry bare and tells them that it is good for them. He sits on their gold like a great dragon and portends to virtue while they starve. He ignores their pleas for help and acts surprised when there is unrest in his country. Never fear! Everything will be all right, because a dispossessed nobleman is here to stop the prince and his lackeys! He even has friends to aid him in this national hour of need; they live secretly in Sherwood Forest and they rob from the rich and give to the poor. The tendency to portray Robin Hood as a nobleman who robs from people just like him—it smudges the image up, like grit on a lens. The very idea has a disingenuous sheen to it, or worse, a heavy aura of wishing thinking: Wouldn’t it be great if there was one super nice wealthy person who would make the rest of the wealthy people hand over their money and take care of the poor and needy around them? Wouldn’t it be even greater if he could alleviate them of said wealth in a comical fashion so that the concept of class warfare and potential revolution didn’t seem nearly so serious? Hollywood is failing us, and so are a multitude of current adaptations. It’s akin to making every female Disney lead a princess; every Robin Hood must come with a title and a patch of land that a mean sheriff or haughty prince can commandeer. It’s lazy storytelling, and worse for the fact that it has nothing to do with origin of the figure.

Home on the Range OC Explorations

I'm doing a rewrite of home on the range and made an oc for it. Her name is Casey Ryland, a farmhand who works at Patch Of Heaven. I chose yellow as her theme color since we don't have a lot of disney princesses with that color (idc what marketing says, Belle's color is GOLD). The basic idea is Casey wears muted tones as a put on while brighter colors symbolize her true adventurous spirit. She also changes hairstyles and makeup so people have a harder time figuring out its her. I want her to look sweet while also clearly able to handle her own in a showdown.

Now for story: Basically it's a mix of both canon and the original draft Sweatin' Bullets. Casey is the quiet timid farmhand whom everyone assumes she has her head in the clouds. She considers the farm animals to be her real companions, has a special fondness for the cow trio. Except for Pearl, nobody else respects her due to her gender, race and overall personality.

But Casey a lot more observant than meets the eye. When she hears about possible foreclosure, she enters a shooting contest - disguised - and with surprising skill she wins the prize money! Unfortunately her opponent was Alameda Slim who is PISSED over being beaten by some upstart with no name. Not that he was going to play fair in the first place, but there's no greater pain for a man than his ego being challenged.

So using a mythical, totally not suspicious book, Slim conjures up the spirits of the meanest, nastiest mercs who ever lived, turning the valley into a ghost town. Now it's up to Casey, her bovine companions and the rest of the farm to try to save their home and the entire nation from Slim.

And just for funsies I'm giving her a love interest, to throw in a cute western romance. Maybe he can be a cowboy from a rival farm, or a ranger going after Slim. Or he could even be THE Lone Ranger since it's public domain and Disney already made a film adaptation (that im not really a fan of). Oooh there's just so many directions to take her!

Animation Night 162: Nimona

I'm back~

Hey everyone. Last week Animation Night had its second week off in just over three years. A shameful lapse; the perpetrators have been... dealt with, and you can trust it won't happen again.

So tonight! I figured we'd watch Nimona, since it just came out and all. This is actually sorta related to Annecy ('Annecy related stuff' will be a theme for a good few weeks), insofar as it premiered there. But I didn't see that premiere, so instead I gotta talk about some other stuff...

(please forgive the big ugly stickers, this is the only high-res version of the cover I could find)

So. We're in the era where the people who were big in webcomics back in the 2010s are now making animated films. A few months ago we talked Lackadaisy; now it's Nimona's turn.

If you're old by Tumblr standards, you might well remember that time ten years ago when Nate Stevenson was one of us poor sods drawing pictures on Tumblr as gingerhaze (he just came back in fact!), and Nimona was a popular webcomic. But not one you can find online anymore; Nimona came out on paper, and this in turn launched Stevenson's gradual rise through comics and into animation. Perhaps you are more likely to know of his work from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. More on that shortly...

Nimona follows a shapeshifting girl in a fantasy world and her friendship with one Ballister Blackheart, a 'villain' in the roles of this setting but very much one with a heart of gold, at odds with the 'Institute' and his counterpart/rival/secret boyfriend Ambrosious Goldenloin. In contrast with the uptight Blackheart, Nimona is a kind of prickly traumagirl chaos agent, an archetype that we would meet again in She-Ra's Catra; the story involves many sciencefictional turns but her tumultous relationship with Blackheart is at its heart - along with the question of what sort of person Nimona is when you get down to it, which even she struggles to decide...

It's tricky to know how to characterise Nimona, 10 years on. At the time I was certainly into it; looking back I feel like it's definitely a first longform work sort of thing, where sometimes the plotting feels a bit haphazard - but regardless, it's absolutely a solid read. And for a Tumblr craving that #representation it was exactly what the doctor ordered. The great success of this comic led to more comics, primarily the Lumberjanes series about a group of girl scouts having various wacky supernatural escapades; all this comic work in turn got Stevenson an in at Disney, working on Craig McCracken's series Wander over Yonder as a writer, before finally getting a chance to run his own show...

That show was the 2018 Netflix reboot of the 80s cartoon She-Ra: Princess of Power, animated at Dreamworks. (At about the same time, Stevenson married Molly Ostertag, author of Strong Female Protagonist and writer for The Owl House). This one was very popular with the lesbians on here, odds are pretty good that you've seen it, I actually ended up watching it as it came out with housemates... but let's talk a little about it, why not.

So. Princesses is the original She-Ra by way of Avatar: The Last Airbender, taking a lot of AtlA's general approach to pacing, humour and drama alike - the first season finds it hard to step out of Avatar's shadow, but gradually it figured out a bit more of its own identity.

She-Ra is ostensibly the story of Adora, who has defected from the evil empire and gained the power to transform into magical girl supersoldier 'She-Ra', along with her two friends Glimmer and Bo from the good two shoes kingdom. These protagonists have their conflicts - Adora trying to fill the big shoes of She-Ra, Glimmer's tense relationship with her royal mother - but it is absolutely far more interested in antagonist Catra, who is the Nimona/Zuko figure of this story, as well as Adora's long-term will they or won't they love interest. Catra consistently steals the show, and most of its big drama comes from the question of whether Catra will follow Adora in defecting from the 'Horde' - or rather, why she does not, and continues to make all the worst choices possible. The intermediate season finales with their time travel and fantasy worlds are honestly pretty solid sci-fi melodrama - the final season, which really rushes to tie everything up neatly, sadly drops that ball.

Besides AtlA, it's a show that will wear its anime influences on its sleeve (with some really overt Utena nods). The animation is in an odd place where it is clearly leaning on anime drawing styles but with an American Toonboom-era inflection, where everything is pushed into simple shapes just a little too much; it has its moments (the 'Fright Zone' backgrounds are rather good, and there are some charming moments of character interaction) but struggles with space and perspective in a way that's not great for an action-driven show.

But whatever I might have to say about its flaws, She-Ra was a hit, successful enough for Netflix to fund it for four seasons - making a much larger splash than Powerhouse's concurrent He-Man series which took a much more traditional approach. And I suppose that led them to look at what other ND Stevenson related properties they might be able to sell...

As all this was happening, the Nimona film was brewing. It had a rather troubled production; in 2015 Fox bought the rights, planning to make it at Blue Sky (best known for Ice Age). The project got cancelled when Disney digested Fox, with Disney feeling a little nervy about all the gay/trans shit in this movie. (Not that that stopped them having a float at London Pride yesterday lmao. Cunts.)

But that wasn't the end of the story, and Netflix and Annapurna swooped in, pulling in directors Nick Bruno and Troy Quane who had been at Blue Sky before its demise and worked on the previous version of the film. The animation ended up being finished at the visual effects company DNEG and premiered at Annecy a couple of weeks ago - I could have met Stevenson and got a signed copy of the comic lol. Now at last it's here for streaming.

So after that messy story what sort of film is it? The story takes a similar premise to the comic, and keeps the core character relationships pretty much as they were: Blackheart is a good man unjustly framed as a villain, Nimona is a shapeshifter who pushes him to escalate, Goldenloin as the official pursuing Blackheart, and his boyfriend before the shit went down. But the plot looks like it will end up diverging quite a bit. Visually, it's CG with a 2D celshading inflection - most likely unrelated to Spiderverse given the timeline, but it's definitely belonging within that new flavour of CG film. It's a style that really pushes and exaggerates the expressions, and I can't really say how well it will work - but let's find out! The critics seem pretty excited.

I think I said that Animation Night would start at a reasonable time today. Well, my best laid plans ganged aglee, but there is time I think to check out Nimona - so if you'd like to join me, I'll be live shortly at twitch.tv/canmom and I hope to see you there ^^

LET'S TALK ABOUT ARIEL! 😃🧜🏿‍♀️

Let me just post this real quick, because waking and already having to block three blogs because they're obviously racist.

Now to put it simply for the stupid ass racists who are upset...

ARIELIS A DAMN FICTIONAL CHARACTER! A FUCKING MERMAID!!! SHE ISN'T HUMAN!!!

Saying Halle "ruined your childhood" is real fucked up given she isn't even the first person of color to play Ariel. And no one moved their lips when that happened. Ya'll are mad because she is a bit more brown for your liking and that is so fucking sad.

You're missing out on seeing a very gorgeous, talented woman who radiates magic play one of the most iconic Disney characters there is. All because you're stupid.

"Her hair is not red enough". Bitch, when Disney first created Ariel they needed her to stand out. The previous princesses were brunettes and blondes, just like her sisters. Disney knew that what better way than to grab attention than to have a redheaded mermaid that for once isn't mean or a side character? Also, remember the movie "Splash"? A mermaid movie Disney had made? Guess what? Madison is a blonde in that film and Disney didn't want her and Ariel to be mistaken for each other. Another reason why Ariel is a redhead. Ooh! You know what else????!!! She just had to be a redhead! Never said that her hair had to be a specific color. In fact, during that era, Disney didn't have the technology to make her hair a "realistic" red as they do now. Ya'll are so stuck on her hair not being "red enough" that you forgot Ariel isn't the first redhead Disney had. They nearly have the same shade of red.

Note that Anastasia is human and came out in the 50s where colors are just a little more muted, her red is as realistic that Disney could get. But did they intend for her to be a redhead? Yes! Why? Because she's a mean character. Learn how movie tactics work. A lot of times when the protagonist is a cute little blonde with heart of gold, they need an antagonist that is either a black hearted brunette or a mean, red faced redhead. Understand, yeah?

Now when it came to Ariel, I repeat, they needed her to stand out. Disney couldn't rely back on making her blonde or brunette, although the latter was intended, because even though her sisters don't appear much, she still needed to stand out. It's also why her tail and seashell bra aren't the same color and why she doesn't have a hair accessory.

Also why, note her personality compared to the previous princesses. She's a lot more adventurous, and truth be told, "hard headed" or free-spirited. She fights back and does something in her final act against Ursula. It played into the fiery redhead trope.

So there's some reasons why Ariel is a redhead. But why isn't her hair "red enough"? Because we know who she is now. Back then, Ariel needed to make a name. Now, she doesn't have to. When know Ariel is a redhead, we know she's a mermaid. Also, it would look so odd in live action. Animated, it blends well with the other bright colors of the movie. In a live action film, she still needs to stand out, but also not awkward. Bright red hair against real life muted underwater blue would look too... it just would look so odd. Although a mermaid, she still needs to have some feel of naturalness to her. It's a plus Halle got to keep her locs because it adds onto that. Slapped a wig on her and there would be memes, be honest.

Onward!

You know what, I might make someone mad when I say this but I give two fucks about it.

Ariel looks better here than she does in the animated version. Why? Because while she looks magical, she also looks LIKE A CHILD. Who designed Ariel's top is a genius because uh... Ariel may be half fish but she's also 16 YEARS OLD. Watch the trailer again and you'll see no seashell bra. Now I don't know how old Ariel may be in the live-action, but consider this. What if she is 16? Note that Snow White is 14, but is covered up from head to toe. Modesty. Same thing with Cinderella and Aurora. Their movies came out during times when women had to be "submissive" and "covered up", otherwise they were shamed.

Ariel came in the 80s, when practically everyone was wearing a crop top and shorts. Which was a perfect "cover up" for Disney to create a character that was just as exposed. Isn't it strange that a lot of Ariel's promotional art is her in her seashell bra? Because Disney knows that sells. They didn't waste the opportunity to have a mermaid character with cleavage and have people not think twice about it.

Today? Be honest, ya'll would be absolutely outrageous if they slapped a seashell bra on a 16 year old. It was the issue with Jasmine and Pocahontas. Their default outfits shown more skin than other princesses have. And they fixed that when the live-action for Jasmine.

One more thing, Ariel is an original character. Ah, wait! Yes, "The Little Mermaid" is inspired by the story of the same name, but there are so many differences between the original story and movie that Hans' story could have been completely ignored. In the story, the mermaid doesn't even have a name and is blond. She even had a grandmother. Ariel has a name, a father... you know what? Separate characters. Ariel is Disney property and because of that the filmmakers could decide "Make her purple" and they would because again they have that choice. Disney, believe or not, can do whatever they wanted with their characters.

With Ariel being black now shouldn't even matter. Ya'll dumb ass racists should have considered if Ariel's actress could hit a high note. And guess what? Halle can. They needed someone who looked magical and had the voice to match and Halle is PERFECT for the role. She looks innocent, she has that princess aura around her and she can sing! Halle was actually seeked out to play Ariel. Rob Marshall heard Halle sing and asked her to audition. Her singing is just that good that they decided to add more numbers just to have more singing for Ariel.

Had it been anybody else, they wouldn't have done that.

Marshall just knew Halle had to be our Ariel and the fact that you racists, you idiots can't seem to get past her skin tone and see how amazing Halle is is so pathetic and you seriously need to get a life. Here's an article if you need proof.

But you can be mad because Halle Bailey is Princess Ariel of Atlantica and as she has haters she does have fans.

And just know that come into my inbox with anything stupid, you're just gonna get disrespected. Reblog this post with anything stupid, I won't even read your reply. I'll just screenshot it, post it and have it up for people to know how racist and ignorant you are and block you.

Have your opinions, don't care, but you will be respectful and if you can't do that then that's tough... for you.

✨ ST: What color shirt would they wear in Star Trek?

👑 DP: Which Disney Princess are they most like?

💿 TS: What (Lord Huron) era do they remind you of?

For Nate and Nora, please!

:O That was so fast!!

Nate and Nora!! They don't get enough love (by me). :D

Star Trek:

So, Nate would be a blue shirt... bc Medicine.

Nora would be a... gold shirt pre apocalypse and red shirt post apocalypse. Because now she gets to fight ppl. (*∩▽^*)

Disney Princess:

Nate would be... Snow White??? Rapunzel?? Maybe it's bc they're new that I'm having such a tough time... ๏_๏ IDK all man wants to do is hang out with his wife and find his kid and now he's adopting like everyone and may or may not be turning into a corpse it's been kind of a tough time for him. ¯\_(ꏿ.ꏿ)_/¯

Okay, okay, Nora I want to confidently mostly conf semi-confidently say is Merida. She feels very goal-driven and very violent. Merida vibes. Yeah. Yeah, let's go with that.

Lord Huron Album:

Oh, okay, this one feels easy. I feel like I can do this one.

Okay, so they're definitely Strange Trails vibes. Like, the vibes emanate off 'em. I don't know if I can differentiate it. Let me try.

Okay, okay, I think I did it. Nora is giving Strange Trails. Nate, however, gives off more of the Lonesome Dreams. Both on content of songs and strictly the names alone, those are the albums I would bestow upon them. Nora's definitely back from the dead and Nate's going through it, but he's still a hopeless romantic.

Alright, that took me a whole heck of a lotta time but it was a lot of fun. :D Thanks for the ask, Knight!!

Kindly,

The Void

#not me looking back over it and realizing i don't know the star trek shirts by heart adhahfsladfj #or the disney princess fairies #gosh what's wrong with me (amusement)#don't worry don't worry i did Deep and Meaningful Research before deciding #not me REFRESHING MY DISNEY PRINCESS KNOWLEDGE I thOUGHT I HAD THIS DOWN WHAT #yeah that was fun #i had fun #nate and nora #:D #lord huron #ask

Ranking Lana Del Rey’s covers

NOT the live performances (stage or radio etc.). This is also my opinion, and all subjective.

Cry Me A River

This doesn’t feel like a Lana song - usually Lana cleverly makes covers her own, whereas this takes the instrumental straight from the source and slaps Lana’s voice on top. She is wonderful, of course, but it feels nothing more than a personal experiment.

You’ll Never Walk Alone

Lana pulls this song off well but it just doesn’t feel like her song. It tends to drag and I think it could have benefitted from some extra instrumental. It feels very much like a bare bones cover rather than a passion project (for music, I know she donated to charity with this song) and I rarely listen to it.

Happy Birthday, Mr President

Lana encapsulates Marilyn Monroe beautifully and honours her with a tribute to one of her most memorable moments, but as it was tacked on to National Anthem it loses its power. If it had been a separate release in some way I think it could have shone more.

Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood

I’m not fond of this cover personally but Lana reshapes the track to fit with her voice and Honeymoon, and she does a good job of it.

For Free

It’s a lovely cover, and the other vocalists are wonderful. However, I always skip this song, uninterested by it (a subjective reason rather than objective). Lana does pick a good song for Chemtrails Over the Country Club, and the mixture of voices/female talent is feel-good.

The Good Life

A somewhat dreary yet heartstring-tugging song, The Good Life doesn’t feel complete or particularly strong compared to a lot of her other covers but it’s a decent job and gets me in the feels.

Chelsea Hotel No.2

It’s a slow track, with Lana’s drawling and rich vocals warm to listen to. I don’t tend to listen to this song much more out of personal taste. However, Lana owns this song beautifully and perfectly suits her Ultraviolence era - the moodiness, the seductiveness, the sadness.

Summertime The Gershwin Version

There’s a definite summer feel to this song, an uneasy instrumental with a light touch. It’s gentle and meandering, perfect to imagine a summer’s day to, and it would be great to hear more offbeat (in terms of vibe, not sound) songs like this from Lana.

Once Upon A Dream

This Gothic rendition of the classic Disney song certainly fits the darkened Princess story perfectly. Lana delves into villainous territory, her voice steady and almost warning as she uneasily vocalises and hums. However, I have to want to listen to this song and find the right mood to fit it.

Blue Velvet

Long, drawling and sprawling. Lana reminds of the film of the same name (which the song is heard in) and has the perfect Gothic-retro feel to make this vintage song timeless. I prefer to listen to other songs on The Paradise Edition, but Lana underlines her ability to go to different genres, eras and sounds whilst bringing her own personal touch to make it fresh.

Season of the Witch

This is perfect for Autumn: plucky, strange and bringing to mind a black-gowned witch causing havoc in her sixties neighbourhood. Lana gets the little vocal whispers and retro-feel perfect, and she emulates the right kind of personality for it.

Summer Wine

Lana is innocent, feminine and seductive in this tale of deceit and crime, and she uses all of her country-touched charms to bring the Western thief of the story to life. She matches Barrie James O’Neill’s deep twang perfectly, and they complement each other’s voices naturally. The music is also wonderful, as are her light-hearted vocalisations and her personality bled into it.

You Must Love Me

Lana is tender, raw and honest in this wide-eyed interpretation. There is a hopefulness to Lana’s voice, a gentle desire and a simplicity that lets Lana’s interpretation just enough from the original to bring something different. Lana isn’t the brash, glamorous lush she often acts as in her music (particularly her first few albums), but instead gold-hearted and soft.

Some Things Last a Long Time

This could be a Lana song. It suits her Ultraviolence era prettily, a barren, cold and dead-eyed gloom-song. Lana is subtle, heartbroken, yet strong and clear in her words. It’s a beautiful version, and deserves multiple listens to appreciate this often forgotten pearl.

The Other Woman

Lana takes the perspective of the quietly simmering and sad wife and flips it, pouring melodramatic grief into the character of the other woman who never has the man two women love. It is perfect for Ultraviolence, and the added record-playing effect to the sound sends you to another era entirely. It’s wailing, it’s pained and it’s bitter, easy to bring tears to the eyes.

Doin’ Time

This song sat happily on the charts and it’s easy to see why. It’s easy-going, breezy and certainly Lana’s own in this version. It’s a little bit different to her other music - one of her more bop-ish tracks, with hints of seductiveness, danger and eye-rolling insults. However, the dance-friendly music and the dollop of sunshine that radiates from this summer track is hypnotic.

[Image description: A watercolour painting of several Toons walking across a large puddle, with their reflections showing their inner selves. 1. Walter, an awkward anime wolfman with a human face and leafy hair, wearing a rumpled dress shirt, suspenders and creased trousers. His reflection is a monstrous green veiny wolf with blood caked around his mouth. 2. Demented, a wacky cartoon duck with brown and purple feathers, sharp teeth, mismatched eyes and a lolling tongue. They are wearing a beige dress with overly long sleeves and several black belts. Their reflection is an abstract purple duck with several eyes and mouths of sharp teeth on their body, laughing evilly. 3. Sapphire, a Disney-style bluebird with a prosthetic wing, wearing a golden crown and emitting flower petals and sparkles. Her reflection is a blue shadow of a human princess with afro puffs and a tear streaming down her face. 4. Patty, a blue living alarm clock with legs and weary eyes wearing purple eyeshadow, emitting electrical sparks and placing her plug under Walter's foot. Her reflection is her with devil horns and glinting eyes. 5. Vivian, a rubberhose toon woman with wavy black hair and sultry eyes, wearing a slinky, sparkly dress, arm-length gloves and a pearl necklace. Her reflection is a grey shadow with gold weepy eyes and an old microphone for a mouth. 6. Wilberforce, an orange Claymation robot with an antenna, claw hands, wheels for feet and a toothy grin, emitting puffs of steam. His reflection is a rusty, dead-eyed version of himself, overgrown with moss and vines. 7. Lena, an energetic anime catgirl with pink hair in bunches, wearing goggles, a tank top with a star on it, shorts, cat paw gloves, trainers and fishnet arm and leg coverings. Her reflection is a pink and green catgirl with stars for eyes and stitches on her body. 8. Cass, a chibi demon girl with long purple hair, wearing a puffy, lacy dress and a hair bow. Her reflection is a pink and purple demon with flaming eyes and a toothy snarl. 9. Aubrey, a smirking pink toon cat wearing a pink waistcoat, a lacy collar with a tag on it and lacy cuffs. Their reflection is a pink and purple swirly cat with a detached head and a perverted drooling grin. 10. Daphne, a toon swan with a ponytail and glasses, wearing an untucked dress shirt, a shoulder bag, creased trousers and sneakers with the laces undone. Her reflection is a blue and red swan with handprints all over her body and dead, teary eyes.]

I resurrected some old characters from a set of Looney Tunes fanfics I wrote when I was a teenager and expanded the cast. These guys live in a world where cartoons, anime characters, comic book characters and video game characters all live side by side. I don't have a main plot yet, but I've come up with a lot of ideas for character interactions and worldbuilding.

From left to right: Walter, Demented, Sapphire, Patty, Vivian, Wilberforce, Lena, Cass, Aubrey, Daphne.

Vivian is a world-weary chanteuse from the rubberhose era of cartoons. She used to be a sex symbol until the censors clamped down on her raunchy cartoons, forcing her into a desperate last-minute marriage to one of her co-stars in order to placate the censors. The cartoons where she was a bland housewife did poorly and ended quickly, but the marriage unfortunately lasted a lot longer. Her husband was abusive and kept her trapped by playing on her insecurities, until she managed to get free. After that, she resumed her singing career but ended up in a lot of bad relationships that left her feeling like her beauty and her voice was all people wanted her for. She's still looking for a sense of purpose, or at least a way back into the spotlight.

Lena is a retro anime catgirl with endless energy. She loves old cartoons, to the point of living in the Toon district and imitating their style and wacky antics. She thinks she's Vivian's best friend in the whole wide world and makes it her job to cheer her up and get her out of the house, but Vivian just finds her intrusions into her life annoying and stressful. She lives with her siblings, Cass and Justine, but none of them ever remember having parents and Lena can't remember ever being a child. Her first memory is waking up in the gothic castle they used to live in and seeing Cass standing over her. Anything before that is a mystery…

Cass is a cute little chibi demon. Despite her appearance, she's actually the oldest sibling, but she still acts like a small child and needs her siblings to look after her. She is nonverbal, but Lena is able to sense what she's thinking and communicate on her behalf. Her origins are as much a mystery as Lena’s, but she’s definitely a demon, which suggests an interesting and probably sinister past…

Patty is a cynical Pixar-esque toon alarm clock. She was Vivian’s seemingly non-sentient alarm clock for many years, until she got bored and revealed that she’d been alive all along. Now, she’s more like Vivian’s cranky, lazy room-mate, who tends to boss her around and make barbed comments at her expense. Patty’s attitude is a form of passive-aggressive rebellion against the oppression of object toons, who legally have to be owned by a non-object toon and aren’t considered individuals in their own right. Patty would really rather ditch Vivian and strike out on her own, but until then, she’s determined to make her frustration everyone else’s problem.

Demented B. Duck is a wacky Looney Tunes-style toon. They’re more like a force of nature than a person, suddenly popping into existence to cause mind-bending, reality-warping levels of chaos and then disappearing into the ether again. Even other wacky toons consider their antics too much, but mostly because the things they do are more confusing and disturbing than funny. There are rumours about them living in Hammerspace, which toons aren’t supposed to do because it’s beyond the mind’s ability to safely comprehend. To be able to exist in and harness it suggests that Demented might be something more alien and eldritch than an ordinary toon…

Walter is a Studio Ghibli-style wolfman. Walter moved to the Toon district to get a fresh start and he now works at the library, which suits him because of his shyness and because he gets to see Vivian. Despite his gentle and timid nature, he used to be a weapon of war. He was created in a lab as a powerful super soldier who could change into a giant bloodthirsty feral wolf, by a nation locked in eternal civil war. He took many lives and it haunts him to this day. It’s one of the reasons he thinks he doesn’t stand a chance with Vivian. The other reason being that he can’t work up the courage to even talk to her.

Princess Sapphire is a bratty Disney Princess-like toon who is cursed to turn into a bluebird. When she was human, she chafed at the rules and restrictions and responsibilities of being a royal. Her acting out got her sent to Inkwell Academy, which wasn’t as much of a punishment as her parents hoped it would be, because she met her girlfriend there. She was free of the pressure of royal duties, but soon found a new problem: Child-friendly toons aren’t allowed to have sex, which she very desperately wanted to do with her girlfriend. After trying everything to get past the block, she sought a witch, wanting to magically get rid of her desire. The witch technically granted her wish by turning her into a bird, making her unable to act on her desires. She is now trying to find someone who can reverse the spell, so she can finally see her girlfriend again.

Wilberforce the Wonderful Watering Wobot is a Wallace and Gromit-style claymation robot. He was created by an eccentric inventor to water the plants in his greenhouse, until he was stolen by a big corporation to water the plants in their giant greenhouses. Despite missing his father, he managed to become friends with the scientists working there and enjoyed his job. Until the corporation got contracted by the military to create plant-hybrid super soldiers. The first, a wolfman, was kept suspended in a tube while he grew to full size. Wilberforce often visited him for one-sided conversations and even gave him his name: Walter. The military soon came to collect Walter and let him loose on their battlefields. When he came back, it wasn’t a happy reunion. The war had taken its toll on him and seeing more plant hybrids in tubes caused him to snap and become feral, brutally killing everyone in the facility before escaping. Wilberforce was left alone and the facility was abandoned. For years he continued his job with a quiet desperation until he became too rusty to move. He’s still there, trapped in his silent hell, but his old friend Walter is determined to find him and save him…

Aubrey is a Hanna-Barbera style toon hep cat. They’re an old acquaintance of Vivian’s, a fellow partier and swinger, but unlike Vivian, they never gave it up. Despite their style being decades out of date, they and their happening pad are very popular for hosting parties. In fact, the party literally never ends at their house, with a regular rotation of guests coming in and going out. Aubrey doesn’t even have to be there, but they usually are, chatting up the ladies and trading witty banter with their guests. But lately, they’ve barely been at their parties at all. They’ve been preoccupied by a sweet little swan who got dragged to one of their parties by her colleagues. Aubrey isn’t used to feeling this deeply about anyone, but trying to court her is difficult. She doesn’t really respond to their chat up lines and come-ons, so they’re at a loss as to how to romance her.

Daphne is a Lisa Hanawalt-style adult toon swan. She works as a 3D animator for a big game developer. It used to be her dream, but after years of crunch time and sexual harassment from her colleagues, that dream has died. Her only solace in her lonely life is the abuse victims support group, which Vivian also goes to. Vivian seems to have taken a shine to her, acting in a motherly way to the little lost lamb and giving her advice. But Daphne is more deeply troubled than anyone suspects. Something happened when she was a child, but her memory of the incident is fragmented. She doesn’t know what it was, but she’s sure it was something horrible…

Medium: Watercolour pens on paper.

"What does she has that I don't?!"

Name: Countess Lizabeta

Age: 40s

Occupation: Sorceress

Ethnicity: Caucasian British(Celtic?)

Friends: Ruber

Spouse: None

Allies: Ruber and his army

Enemies: Kayley, Garrett, Knights of the Round Table, Camelot Royal Family

Voice Claim: Dianne Wiest

Goals: Conquer Camelot, help Ruber retrieve Excalibur, oust Genevieve as queen, force Arthur to be her consort (all failed)

Appearance: Lizabet is a beautiful woman with icy-blonde hair, green eyes and a pale skin complexion. She wears an off the shoulders red dress with a green belt, a black & red tiara, and gold necklace with a green gemstone as the pendant. She also wears red lipstick. Her other outfit is a pink and blue gown with gold accents and light pink lips.

Personality: Lizabet is an arrogant, powerhungry woman with the end goal of taking over Camelot with Arthur as her consort. Bitter over his rejection years ago, she doesn't hide her jealousy towards Queen Genevieve. Unlike Ruber who is prone to theatrics, Lizabet is more cold and calculating. She expresses her temper when her plans fail or if one of her henchmen annoys her. She does have a sweet side as she is willing to let enemies go if they don't pose a threat or don't serve her plans.

Abilities: Lizabet has the power of elemental magic, such as conjuring powerful gusts of winds, small earthquakes, flooding, and fire balls. However she can't use all four elements at the same time or else she could risk getting burned out or accidental overkill. She is also cunning, utilizing her charisma to trick someone to drop their guard.

Inspiration: Azula (Avatar TLA), The Evil Queen (Snow White), Mother Gothel (Barbie As Rapunzel), Demona (Gargoyles), Lady Macbeth (Shakespeare), Regina George (Mean Girls), Odette (Swan Lake), Aurora (Disney Sleeping Beauty), Vanessa (TLM), Wuya (Xiaolin Showdown), Meredith (The Parent Trap)

As much as I'm tired of villain discourse i do kinda miss the era of messy villains (and equally messy songs XD). I did have an idea to call her Morgan (le fay) but Morgan is almost always a villain in Arthurian works so I didn't go with that. Instead it's an entirely different character named Lizabeta. She is Queen Genevieve's bitter rival and Ruber's mistress. I like to imagine the actual Morgan Le Fay to be one if the good guys (closer to her depictions in older legends) and Lizabet studied under her but quit to pursue more power.

If she looks like a Disney princess that's because i intended it that way. She's everything a Disney Princess shouldn't be.

Quest for Camelot belongs to WB. I only own Genevieve and Lizabeta. Made on Doll Divine's Princess Maker ver. 1.0

This year I finally decided to do my own series of historically accurate (more of less) Disney princesses. To start off, here’s Snow White, placed in Germany (then part of the Holy Roman Empire) in the early 16th century!

It made sense to me that Disney’s Snow White should take place in Renaissance Germany, mainly because Snow White is a German fairy tale and Snow’s signature gown with its puff-and-slash sleeves is highly reminiscent of the style worn by noblewomen during this time frame. But then again, the evil queen wears a gown reminiscent of a bliaut, a type of garment more popular in earlier centuries. Maybe I’ll get to her later, though.

For my historically inspired take on the dress Snow wears for the majority of the movie, I opted for a simpler gown and headband than the overly elaborate “Cranach” gown and feathered hat that I have seen countless other artists place Snow in for their period-authentic interpretations. Not that their work isn’t magnificent, but I aimed to reflect that Snow White is a young girl - the baby of the Disney princess lineup at 14 years old - and the fashion so often depicted in the works of Cranach the Elder seemed to me to be too mature and materialistic for her, mainly because of the hats and massive gold chains around the neck. The design I ended up making is basically a carbon copy of this dress (the red one in front); I also referred to this detail from Cranach the Elder's The Holy Triptych and this for the designs on the front panel and bands around the bottom of the skirt (which I'm pretty sure turned out like crap but hey I tried). Her navy blue collar-thing is meant to be a nod to her cape in the original design (although I'm not sure if it would be removable or not). Finally, I referred to this for her hairstyle and circlet

I also decided to take on the rags Snow wears as a servant at the beginning of the movie, because I've only seen like one historical take on it and thought it would be interesting to do. I had a heck of a time searching for attire restricted to servants and lower-class people in early Renaissance Germany at first, but then I settled on basing the design largely on the types of dresses seen in this artwork, as it makes sense to me that the dress could have been one of Snow's old dresses (or one formerly belonging to another noblewoman) and it ended up getting destroyed over time. Snow is also wearing a swath of tattered cloth around her waist that functions as an apron (which may or may may be historically accurate but which I thought was a nice touch) and a wulsthaube, a type of headdress worn by commonwomen in this era.

It's time for another look at

The Timeline

As always, I am your little gremlin host. Today we simply look at the last 2 months to see wtf's goin on in the world in my attempt to guage the stability of our timeline.

If anyone lives in the middle of the fucking Atlantic Ocean and wants a porche and a VW, great news! There's apparently a cargo ship called Felicity Ace that is ON FIRE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WET ASS LIQUID OCEAN. The crew safely abandoned it, and under Maritime law, the ship is now Finders Keepers TM. I'm sure that whatever life forms arise from this latest environmental disaster will appreciate being able to drive in style

Nintendo has announced they are shutting down the 3DS and Wii U e stores in March 2023, and some people say they've already hit the Wii U store. Because nothing stops piracy like making games even harder to come by, obviously. Titles such as Xenoblade Chronicles X, Twilight Princess HD, Wind Waker HD, the entire catalog of the 3ds Pokémon games, and more are gonna be harder to find soon, much like my will to live

Kirby doesn't chew and vores things far too big for his precious little adorable nightmare body. He has ascended to many new nightmarish forms, including KARBY

Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard. Good, keep the annoying CoD and LoL players on Xbox

Sony bought Bungie, which is great for the current 2 games Bungie has worked on in the last 10 years.

Platinum Games is open to BEING bought. Maybe *you* can become their new sugar daddy

Attack on Titan started its final season- er, the second half of it, which is totally different from being a season, I'm sure. I for one am very excited to finally see the day weebs shut the fuck up about Attack on Titan and finally watch and talk about something else. HiS wHoLe sQUaD!!!!!

Shenmue, the game from the SEGA Dreamcast, has an anime now. Now you too can experience a game from the 90s set in the 80s by watching an anime from the 20s that looks like it came from the 10s. Catch it on Toonami Saturday nights, or Crunchyroll

Jurassic World has another movie coming out, proving that everyone most definitely learned their lesson from the original movies and stopped bringing back mutated versions of ancient murder machines

Pokemon has released Legends Arceus, a game where everything wants to kill you, and for the first time since the Switch era started, most fans agree that it rocks, but needs more polish. Finally, some good fucking food after 6 (really 3) garbage fire games

Chip n Dale has a new live action movie in the works based on the amazing Rescue Rangers cartoon show. Of course, what Disney crypt raid or franchise revisit would be complete without making fun of very iconic and beloved voices they themselves made, and what live action adaptation would be complete without replacing those iconic voices with some generic guy's boring ass voice?

There are truckers in Ottowa being annoying and protesting over vaccine mandates, because they can't just be annoying everywhere else. It's okay to be afraid of needles, guys, I swear it doesn't hurt! I've been jabbed 3 times and the 5g microchips doesn't interfere much with the government tracking devices in literally everything else.

Futurama is in talks about getting another season on Hulu, once again proving Matt Groening is some sort of necromancer but for cartoons. Of course the biggest news from this is that the voice of Bender- aka arguably the most popular character from the show- John DiMaggio, does not want to come back unless they can negotiate his contract better and open the floor to give him and his fellow voice actors a raise. This very reasonable act of ensuring everyone is paid fairly is apparently one of the evilest things you can do to the fans, according to like, 5 guys on Twitter. But sure, I'm so certain replacing the show's most iconic character's very iconic voice will go over very well with everyone, like replacing Mario's Charles Martinet with Chris Pratt.

Norway got 15 gold medals in the Olympics! Holy shit! They beat their own record from 2010 where they earned 14, shared with Canada. There's nothing to make fun of here, that's just cool

Apparently a lot of Catholic baptisms are suddenly being invalidated due to the usage of "we" instead of "I," which has thrown many of the religion into a frenzy due to having similarly worded Baptisms. Basically, imagine you've lived your whole life by the book, helped countless unfortunates, gave away your riches, confessed every sin, served your god dutifully and worshipped him every hour of every day and attended each and every church session no matter what, gave a kidney to the little girl with an extremely rare blood type that you happen to match, you are a genuinely good person and an excellent example of Christianity and have never asked nor expected anything in return, and you STILL don't get into Heaven because St Pete asked for RC Cola and you were given Sam's Cola, and couldn't tell the difference once the guy poured it into your red solo cup. That's about the situation a lot of people seriously think they are in.

The following has to do with politics and war. If that's not your vibe, scroll on. I should also mention I am just an ordinary Joe with a hardly a penny to his name. I am not a news reporter, I'm not a journalist, or anything of the sort. However, most of this can be found by Google, so take that as you will

The Trumps apparently aren't cooperating with subpoenas, and Trump apparently got pissy about them going after "children" like his 40 year old daughter Ivanka. 40, that's barely out of diapers! Hey, remember when he said on live TV that he'd date his own daughter if he could?

Speaking of, apparently the horse's ass is keeping very important TOP SECRET docs at Mar-A-Lago, including love letters (as he called them) to Kim Jong-un and President Obama's presidential letter to him. Hey, at least he didn't violate the Presidential Records Act- oh wait, HE DID, and much like last time, he probably won't get punished for it.

Rudy Giuliani, aka Mr "LETS HAVE TRIAL BY COMBAT," was also subpoenaed. He claims its illegal. I wonder how legal inciting violence and an attempted coup is?

Just a personal opinion, I'm very tired of hearing anything about the Trumps or any of their cronies. Follow the example of the Dodo bird: Look stupid, go away, and never be heard from again. Please.

And in a very serious turn of events, Russia is trying to invade Ukraine. I don't want to frighten anyone, so you can Google if you need more info, but things are looking pretty grim. But if you have anxiety or depression, try not to doom scroll, okay?

Here's a pic of a Lemur to help calm your nerves. Look at it. Beautiful creature. Call him whatever you want, he's here to be your friend.

Anyway, see yall again in like a month or two

Hi! If it's not to much trouble could I please have a Harry Potter golden trio and marauders era ship (male)? My pronouns are she/her. I am Scorpio and my Hogwarts house is Hufflepuff,I can be introverted or extroverted,it depends on who I'm with and how I feel. I am 5/7,my hair is light brown with natural blonde highlights but I go to the hair dresser to bring my highlights out a bit more. I would say my style is a mix between cottage core and light academia but I only wear clothes that I am comfortable in. My favorite sport is American Football and I love watching people dance. I am also a bit more on the chubby side,I like reading and learning about history. I also love baking and I play the keyboard and I want to learn to play guitar. I don't like video games that much,I love being outside tho. Although during cold/rainy days (when I can't go outside) I like to watch movies (mainly Disney). I also listen to music a lot,I really like lyrical based music (Taylor Swift,Olivia Rodrigo). I also have to be organized or I can't function and I always wear this one ring on a chain for sentimental reasons. I live in the state of Georgia and I have a strong southern accent. I am mature for my age and for that reason a lot of people my age tend to get on my nerves easily but I'm never mean unless I'm on my period. I don't wear a lot of makeup on a daily basis but I do love experimenting with eye shadow so sometimes you can find me in my room trying to recreate a look I saw on Instagram. I have anxiety and I tend to hold the hand or arm of a person that I trust when I am anxious. I also overthink a lot. Thank you!

Heyyyy!!!

So I was gonna ship you with Harry but decided against it and would rather ship you with Blaise Zabini! Because why not?

And also for the Marauders Era... I ship you with James Potter.

For James I think he would love to watch movies with you, and I also think that he would love Disney! Of course you're the one to introduce it to him.

"Love, its raining... You can't go out right now, you'll get sick." You said as he insists on going to a nearby store to buy chips.

"But I know your craving for (your favorite food) and I want to buy you some." He continued to beg.

"Yes, well maybe we could just buy it later, and let's just watch Princess Diaries! I forgot I have the tape with me" You suggested.

(Let's just pretend they have some old fashioned TV and that Princess Diaries was published wayyy backk.)

He also loves it when you experiment with your makeups on him.

"Love, can you put on some red and gold eyeshadow on me? Anddd do what ever you want with my face!!!"

He always asks you to do his make up whenever they won the quidditch match for the after party.

This is for both of them so I'll be using "they/them" a lot!

Both of them would love to watch you bake and would beg you to teach them how to.

I would imagine James playing around like booping your nose with flour on his finger, and would not take anything seriously...

With Blaise it's the same but he would definitely try to concentrate more, and I feel like he's very good in the kitchen... So I think the both of you would go to the kitchens often to bake!

And he would definitely cook you some random meals, and introduce you to some of them! ( The ones that you're unfamiliar with. Of course!)

And both of them couldn't fight the urge to stare at you too! Especially when you're distracted!

They would also try and help you when you have anxiety—

Like they offer you to play with their hand or squeeze it as hard as you can, just for you to relax.

They would also remind you to take deep breaths!

Sorry for the wait, and THANKKKK YOUUUU!!!!

#mia's 200 celebration!#lovely moots<33
