How cute would it be for Phillip to lend Visander his clothing?

#dark heir #it's practically the end times #surely his wife can finally dress as the man he currently is #if will's memory is right Katherine kinda looks like Visander anyway #shipping the long suffering dandy husband with his ancient zombi soldier of a wife #who'd have thunk #visander #the gender of it all

Most ghosts—they just sort of exist. They're not people. More like the memory of a person. A piece of the past, stuck in the present. But sometimes—occasionally—they are more. Those ghosts don't just exist, they act. They want something. That's when they're dangerous, when they want something.

so you have wings and won’t let us see them :( ?

[ [ Connection terminated. . . attempting to connect with THE INFORMANT. Please stand by. ] ]

Kay looked down, feeling her wings shift, she almost forgot she had these. She looked around at the blank area, the only other noises being the small chitters of puffs, and the other small beings in the distance. She leaned forward a bit and looked back at her wings unfolding, left being a black feathered wing, whist the right was a white and more bat-like or ‘dragon’ like.. “…so weird…” she murmured, tail flicking behind her, gently hitting against the ‘floor’ of the between.

Kay crossed her arms and hugged herself a bit, closing her eyes as she stretched her wings behind her, the mismatched set becoming smaller if by will, Kay didn’t like it. The feeling of the feathers moving on one wing as she stretched, the flaps of the non-feathered wing felt like skin. Her brows furrowed as she glanced to the side and saw a few black feathers with their tiny white spots littering them, on the ground.

“Stupid… fucking stupid. Fênkī.” Kay huffed under her breath, gently kicking away one of the feathers.

Kay just rolled her eyes, “Eh, it’s my problem, isn’t it? Not like you guys have the right to seeing them. I don’t want you to see them, end of story.”

{ klarolineauseason } - week 6: crossovers/fusions

The Good Place AU. Caroline opens her eyes and finds herself alone in a non-descript waiting room with no memory of how she got there. A soft elevator music masks the awkward silence, and in front of her, on an otherwise empty wall, there's a green writing: Welcome! Everything is fine.

It doesn't look that fine to her.

A man named Silas welcomes her inside a boring beige and brown office that could belong anywhere: there are potted plants and pretty paintings and it just feels as if someone has decored it to calm and reassure its guests. The man keeps smiling and making off-kilter jokes, and in the end Caroline remembers her life and understands that 1) she's dead, 2) this is the afterlife, and 3) according to her previous moral conduct when she was alive, she has apparently scored the best part of it, that is - the Good Place.

Except, how did she end up there? She's pretty sure there must be a mistake - an identity swap - since all of the informations Silas has about her are wrong. But she's not about to turn down this gift and risk ending up in hell, right?

Silas walks her through the neighborhood where she will spend the rest of her eternity, shows her her house - a small monstrosity filled with clown paintings, a clear evidence of that fact that someone else was supposed to be there - and introduces her to her assigned soulmate, Enzo, and the couple living in the mansion nearby, Klaus and Katherine.

And as time passes and life in the supposedly peaceful afterlife becomes progressively worse, Caroline is even more certain that it's because of her - plus, she can't help but being drawn by not-her-soulmate Klaus, and this can't be happening, right?

Hopefully, if they work together and help each other she can avoid an eternity in the Bad Place...

*****

"Welcome to the Good Place. Sponsored by: otters holding hands while they sleep. You know the way you feel when you see a picture of two otters holding hands? That's how you're gonna feel every day."

[The Good Place, season 1, episode 1]

*****

"I'm not supposed to be here."

Klaus rolls his eyes, decadently sipping the bland whisky they have been served. "Of course not, sweetheart. It's such a lovely party and yet you dragged me to a broom closet..."

"No, you don't understand," Caroline hisses, raising on her toes to whisper against his ear - he tries to ignore the shudder that follows. "I don't belong here - in the Good Place. That's why everything is messed up and Silas is stressed out and I made shrimps rain! And I can't even do anything because Bonnie is always nearby-"

"Did you call?"

They both jump, turning to the mysterious entity - not a human, not a robot - whose only purpose seems to be accomodating their needs and/or potentialy spying on them. Her sudden apparition has made the closet all the more cramped, squishing them together.

"No, Bonnie, thank you. You may go," Caroline tells her wearily.

The - Bonnie - continues to smile brightly. "Okay." And she's gone.

Caroline puts some space between them as she glares at him, in a see-what-did-i-tell-you kind of way.

But Klaus is frowning, evidently thinking back to what she has just told him. "What do you mean, you don't belong here?" He keeps a low tone of voice, for which she's grateful. "And why are you telling me this, instead of - your soulmate, for example? Aren't you afraid I might go to Silas?"

He then blinks, perplexed, when Caroline puts her hand inside her dress - rummaging around her décolleté - until she fishes a folded note and hands it to him, nervous. "This is why."

Klaus abandons his glass on a shelf near the door and carefully opens the note, fingers smoothing the paper with her pretty handwriting on it.

Caroline - find Klaus.

She twists her fingers as she waits for his reaction, hoping that her past self had made the right choice in pushing her towards this man - a man who wasn't even her own soulmate, according to what Silas claimed. Not that Enzo wasn't great, but there was something in the back of her mind that kept nagging at her and made her question everything.

Caroline just wishes that he has the answer she's looking for, because otherwise she might just resign herself to the fact that she's going crazy in her life after death.

She speaks again before he has the chance to. "I think - something may have happened here, and I lost my memories, but before that I left myself that message. And honestly I feel that it's the only thing that makes sense, for me to trust you, so I'm with my gut feeling on this. And, and... I'm scared, okay, I don't want to end in the Bad Place, and I don't know what to do, and it seems like you have your life - or, well, death - together. So, that's why I'm here."

They remain in silence for a few agonizing seconds, looking at each other, Klaus holding the note close as if it were something precious instead of a random scrap of paper. A muscle twitches in his jaw and suddenly his hands grab her shoulders, delicately, drawing her near.

"Caroline, love, take a deep breath," he instructs, speaking softly. "Now, listen carefully - there is no need to be scared. I'm on your side, alright? We're friends. And I think you're right - something is definitely wrong here, because I can remember my life perfectly well and I assure you that I am not supposed to spend eternity in paradise."

Caroline widens her eyes, caught off guard. "What - you too? How is that possible? And how, how..." She stutters, on the verge of a panic attack. "Are they going to punish us when they find out?"

His thumbs are drawing small circles on her skin in a soothing way. "None of us will end up in the Bad Place if I can prevent it, sweetheart. Look - we should probably go back to the party, in case our soulmates or Silas are wondering where we are, and then we'll meet up later to discuss it, okay?"

She nods, biting her lips. "Yeah, sure, that's a good idea. I mean, it's not as if the neighborhood is falling apart, right? Mistakes happen all the time, why would heaven be any different?"

Klaus tries to smother a smirk. "Yes, exactly. Are you feeling a bit better?"

"I mean, I'm already dead, what's worse?" Then she closes her eyes, wincing. "Wait, don't answer that."

He smiles a bit, fondly, then takes a step back and slips her note in the inside pocket of his jacket. "Let's go now. Meet me afterwards at the lake behind our houses?"

Caroline nods again, then grabs his sleeve before he can open the door. "Klaus - thank you."

His answering smile keeps playing in the back of her mind for the rest of the evening, quieting her inner turmoil and making her feel hopeful for the first time since she has woken up in this place.

Too bad he wasn't her soulmate - right?

#klarolineauseason #auseason2022 #kc #klaroline #kcedits #i've always wanted to do something with klaroline and the good place!! #this is based on season2 so klaus and caroline are chidi and eleanor and they were together in the first afterlife #but now silas has separated them in the second reset and they have no memories except caroline's note from her past self #anyway you know the drill if you've seen the show lol #[silas as michael; katherine as tahaani; enzo as jason - who later falls in love with bonnie as janet] #nigliawrites

I have a little worm in my brain telling me to cast newsies with Muppets so... you’re welcome? (I’m sorry?)

Jack- Kermit

Crutchie- Fozzie

Davey- Gonzo

Les- Rizzo the rat

Katherine- Human

Medda- Miss Piggy 

Race- Scooter

Spot- Animal 

Wiesel- Uncle Deadly

The Delanceys- Humans

Hannah- Janice

Pulitzer- human

Nunzio- The Swedish Chef

Bunsen- Sam the Eagle

Roosevelt- Rowlf

Snyder- Human 

ensemble newsies: assorted muppets because this was hard enough as is

Medda’s announcer- Pepe the King Prawn

Bowery Beauties- Camilla and her chickens 

Cops/Goons- full-bodied muppets (Sweetums, Thog, etc.)

Some notes because that was a lot:

this took,,,,, so much fucking brain power

 I really wanted to cast Dr. Bunsen as Bunsen because ha ha funny, but I didn’t so you’re welcome. Toyed with the idea of the Delanceys being Statler and Waldorf or Bunsen and Beaker but neither were quite right. I also wanted to make everyone in Pulitzer’s office a member of Electric Mayhem but it just didn’t work out that way. 

Piggy Medda was simultaneously the easiest and hardest decision to make. I felt weird about her being in a mother role towards Kermit but Piggy wasn’t right as Katherine so I had to surrender Medda to her. 

during intermission Statler and Waldorf make comments like “Splasher? what is this? finding nemo?” and “Crutchie? More like cringey!”

Also I scribbled this in class when I first had the idea so Miss Piggy Medda

#if you have thoughts please share them #also I drew piggy from memory and I am very impressed with myself #newsies #newsies musical #the muppets #muppets #jack kelly #david jacobs #newsies fandom #katherine plumber #les jacobs #miss medda #miss medda larkin #medda larkin

My mother died Wednesday. For the past few days I've been sharing her art and stories on Twitter, but now Twitter crashes every time I try to tweet.

Yesterday it didn't seem real that the woman who created dragons and elves and fairies with the same matter-of-fact ease of someone building their thousandth stone fence was somehow gone.

Yesterday, the mind behind the Magnificent Tuttle, that ancient scholar of all things magical and mundane, who once wrote, "that dragons are myth is a myth, itself," will write no more.

But it's true.

The story will not follow. The storyteller has gone. There are no more tales. Fantastical or mundane.

I can't call her and commiserate on the latest horrific political news anymore.

There will be no more tales of the clever merchant Buffo, who has a deal worked out with the fae, who let him sell them in easily escapable cages, over and over, leaving their buyers with lovingly-crafted empty wooden cages.

rereading the fault in our stars because i read it when i was like 11 and cried so hard for an entire night but i watched the movie with my sibling last year and it was so crazy bad i was like dude this is not right no way it was this bad . and yk I think the movie is a lot worse and more annoying but the books fine . can't say it's great and it's John green so it's super annoying but like it's really not that bad . it's okay. the Anne frank house part is SO fucking terrible though so that kind of cancels everything out.

#i have literally no memory of the part where they makeout in anne franks house and everybody claps so you can imagine my reaction when I #saw it onscreen last year.... #zyz #i read a bunch of john greens books when i was like 12 and i liked them but i remember even at that age i bought an abundance of katherines #and on the first page it was like ' my friend threw a bag at me and said come on. pack up we're going on a roadtrip“ and i was like okay hes #not even trying anymore . and it pissed me off so much i never read it

by far the best way to experience Something To Believe In from Newsies is backstage dramatically performing it with your castmates while Jack and Katherine are performing it on stage. it is also the only situation in which i will enjoy listening to Something To Believe In

#newsies #newsies broadway #i am a something to believe in hater #it does not fit jack or katherine at all #it is too saccharine and feels out of place in the show #BUT it is hilarious to ham it up and pretend to be jack or katherine with somebody else backstage #and i will cherish these memories

Thinking about Ethel and Katherine (what i ended up naming her love interest) againnnm

rotating them in my head.. would i have time to finish reference sheets for them before july......

#text #if i rush it really hrd its possible #my tragic immortal/reincarnatee gals #I have a lot of Thoughts on the trope of an immortal character trying to get with the reincarnation of somebody who once was close to them #and like theyre an expression of that #somebody loving you dearly and unconditionally but only because of you reflecting their long dead loved one..... #simultneous wish fulfillment but also the inherent tragedy of it..... the best case scenario for them to have you regain your former memory #and stop really being you and to go back to being their loved one... or straight up to never have you exist in the first place & to continue #living with them.. #a character sacrificing her all to protect somebody she deems to be her previous lover despite them having different memories #and growing up under completely different circumstances and totally different people #its all a root for very delicious drama basically. #also katherine having become a husk of a person and ethel trying to prevent her from being hurt any more #(in exchange for her enabling her quest for arcane knowledge) #hmhm

But pretty soon it all started running together in her head—what had happened and what she was scared would happen—until it became one big ball of everything awful that her mind contained, imagined or real.
