#like!!!! how she rips up all of her storybooks so that they're just happy endings in hopes that doing so will somehow

[raeygina-george]

One thing about me is that I love it when medias that have a princess who's locked up for years and years on end actually explore the miserable life she would have lived growing up alone and reading fairy tales that promised her a happy ending she never got

#raey spam #this is about tne song 'i know its today' from shrek the musical #like!!!! how she rips up all of her storybooks so that they're just happy endings in hopes that doing so will somehow #make her prince appear sooner #i think the main reason why i likw this so much is bc of how similar it is to growing up aroace #like everywhere you look there's love stories and everyone tells you there's no way to be happy without #a romantic partner #they all promise that one day you're going to find 'the one' but you never do #like. i love being aroace!! i do!! i know that not wanting a future like that is okay #but at the same time. i DO want a future like that. yk #when i first actually accepted that i was aromantic i wasn't happy bc i finally understood why romance was Like That for me #i was pissed. because same as everyone else i grew up surrounded by love songs and dating shows and id even had crushes as a child #i wasn't Supposed to be aro. i was supposed to grow up and live a happy life with someone else #i felt like accepting i was aro also meant accepting that i would never grow up to live a happy life #and i def dont feel like that anymore! but still. #anyways back to fiona: i also just really like it when deep down #characters know their fate is sealed. #they Know there's nothing they can so #but they convince themselves that there IS #my interpretation of fiona is that deep down she knows ripping the pages out of her stories isn't going to help #but hope and love prevail over everything right? #she has to believe that remaining hopeful and doing everything she can will reward her eventually #i hope this is coherent I can't really tell rn lol #other thinfs in the same vein i am fond of: #'when will my life begin' from tangled #'and many more' by quintessence #really any fic that expands on Alluka's childhood is very yummy to me #that's enough rambling for now

For the ask game - Super Mario and/or Sly Cooper?

since i love and rarely get attention like this i shall answer for both series >:)

Give me a fandom and I’ll tell you:

Super Mario Series

Favorite Male Character:

oh jeez i have to choose. um probably bowser. him or luigi and mario. i just like them. they are swell chaps.

Favorite Female Character:

in case it wasn't obvious; princess peach. i've always liked her since i was baby. i do like all the other female charcters like daisy, pauline, and rosalina but i like peach most of all uwu

Least Favorite Character:

mmm i dont think i have one??? if i had to choose then i guess yoshi??? i like yoshi of course i mean who doesn't but i honestly don't understand the appeal of him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Favorite Ship:

princess peach with daisy, pauline, or rosalina. just princess peach x girls is thumbs up emoji ya know

Favorite Friendship:

bowser and his relationship with the main gang. like yeah i cause trouble for yall every week but im still invited to the golf club. i like that.

another one would be rosalina and mario. like rosalina didn't have to help mario at all in galaxy but she did and i just think thats sweet of her. i just think theyd make cool friends too.

Favorite Quote:

"So long, gay bowser!"

"Open salami!"

"May the stars shine down on you."

and honestly rosalina's whole speech at the end of galaxy. along with bowser and jr talking at the end of sunshine was cute too.

Worst Character Death (if any):

BABY LUMA. AND ALL THE OTHER LITTLE LUMAS THAT JOIN HIM.

when fludd breaks down thats sad too but she ends up all right in the end.

This Made Me So Happy You Have No Idea Moment:

The ending of super mario galaxy. its a good one yeah.

and all the characters you meet and help along the way during the thousand year door that come and save you in your most desperate moment was awesome too!

Saddest Moment:

BABY LUMA.

Rosalina's storybook too of course.

Favorite Location:

anywhere in super mario sunshine. that game is special to me.

i always liked the look of noki bay the most. i loved the purple water i thought it was so pretty. even tho its purple cuz its polluted orz but thats besides the point djvnskjd.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sly Cooper Series

Favorite Male Character:

its a tie between sly, bentley and murray. i can't choose between the three of them! tho I also really adore Muggshot. He's just so endearing and charming to me lol

Favorite Female Character:

probably penelope. idk i just related to her a lot as a kid.

i like carmelita too but thats more like "i have a crush on you/im in love with you" kind of like lol

Least Favorite Character:

general tsao. and LeFwee. they just irritated me. they're probably the least likeable of all the villains. they are just bad cuz they suck. the other villains have a reason and a background and character and are just far more likeable.

Favorite Ship:

Sly x Carmelita of course uwu. its a classic. Bentley x Penelope as a close second of course.

tho i am interested in other ships too! like i prefer the main gang (sly, bentley, murray) as family but they'd be interesting as a romantic couple too! sly and neyla and sly and penelope are fun too. like in both cases they didnt happen for obvious reasons but i like to think on how those relationships would have played out if they worked out.

Favorite Friendship:

the cooper gang of course. i'm talking the main three but also i like the friendships between the other members that are added to the gang in 3. like murray and penelope had a cute little friendship i think. and i like to see the main 3 interacting with other characters besides each other.

Favorite Quote:

OMG SO MANY BUT HERES A FEW

"There's no honor, no challenge, no fun in stealing from ordinary people. You rip off a master criminal, then you know you're a master thief."

"What, are you kidding? You break into my place, steal my stuff, trash the joint. I feel transgressed and violated. Let's rock!"

"Ah, well, that's where you're wrong: the Thievius Raccoonus doesn't create great thieves, it takes great thieves to create the Thievius Raccoonus!"

"Inspector Fox, as beautiful and unpredictable as ever."

"Crime? I haven't stolen anything...yet."

"THAT DOES IT! I'll floss my teeth with your spine!"

"I'm about to head inside the vault... and I want you and Murray to come with me. We're a team, a family. We should do this together."

And it kinda doesn't count cuz it's not from the game but rather from Dev Madan and it's only part of the quote too not all of it but:

"I also believe what has kept Sly resonating with people is that while it may look like a simple and colorful show for kids at a first glance, there are some deeper issues to friendship that the guys deal with: the idea of loss, sacrifice, revenge, romance to name a few. These are things that a younger player might not immediately understand while playing the game, and in some cases even challenge them, but because of that, I think it’s something that stays with them and as they get older, return to and appreciate on a completely different level. At its heart the Sly Cooper gang is about creating lifelong relationships and having crazy adventures with your pals."

And of course I love the sillier ones too but then this would go one for too long lol. So these are just a few ;)

Worst Character Death (if any):

arpeggio. not cuz it made me cry or anything but like. how unfair it was. he didn't deserve that :(

otherwise i cant think of another death that bothered me. the majority of the deaths in the game are often well deserved or happen to charcters (like sly's dad) that we never got to form a bond with so.

This Made Me So Happy You Have No Idea Moment:

I really love the ending for sly 3. Like I would have loved a new game in the series cuz I love these characters and their stories but I'm also completely fine if it just ended like it did with the 3rd game. It's a happy resolution to me. I just thought sly giving up like, pretty much everything, to be with Carmelita was so sweet. And I like that Bentley and Murray know that this is something sly has wanted for some time so they are just happy for him and Carmelita.

I also believe that Carmelita knew sly was faking his amnesia. They've known each other for so long I think they can sorta figure out when one is lying or not. And Carmelita sounds too happy and too eager for sly to just have amnesia all of a sudden. because even tho it's not spoken between the two, they know he is just using it as an excuse so they can finally be together. And then sly 4 ruined it. :)

Saddest Moment:

Probably the ending to sly 2 and sly 3. They are both kinda bittersweet endings I think but thats what I like about them.

Favorite Location:

Aw jeez. I don't really have a favorite location for 1 like they are all nice levels but that's it for me. For 2 I would have to say the first level Paris and then rajan's ball, along with the Canadian levels cuz they are just so damn pretty and I like ice and stuff. I'm a northerner I love that snowy cold as fuck shit it feels like home. The other levels are cool too (especially arpeggios blimp that's fucking poggers) but they don't arent my most favorite like the ones I first listed. As for 3 I love Venice. It's just so pretty and I love the music and I just think it's a great first episode for the series. Other than that probably the cooper vault. Like not the entirety of Kane island just the inside of the vault that is so much fun dudes.

#THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SENDING THIS IN #I LOVE TALKING ABOUT MY INTERESTS AND STUFF #ESPECIALLY SLY COOPER #cuz I don't have anyone to chat about sly with 👉👈🥺 #PLEASE TALK TO ME ABOUT THE SLY COOPER SERIES #IM BEGGING YOU #IT CAN BE ANYTHING #I had a lot of fun with this so thanks again lol
