[daughter-of-melpomene]

𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐆… 𝐌𝐘 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐒 𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑, 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐀 𝐃𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐅

❝ Long before Prince - soon to be King - Ben had seen fit to bring four villain kids to Auradon from the Isle of the Lost, Greta had been the original outcast at Auradon Prep. The daughter of Grumpy, that famously cantankerous dwarf who had helped Snow White defeat her evil stepmother, Greta certainly lived up to her father's name. Despite the best efforts of her uncles to instill a more positive personality in her while she was growing up, her outlook on life had still turned out to be a spitting image of her father's: pessimistic, sarcastic, unsympathetic, and, well... grumpy.

And, as could be expected in a land that was meant to be as happily-ever-after blissful as Auradon, this did not exactly make Greta very popular among her peers. Never mind that most of the princesses and princes she went to school with weren't actually half as nice as they seemed - Greta wore her sarcasm and impatience with stupid people on her sleeve, rather than hiding it behind false cheery smiles, so she was the black sheep, the girl her fellow students either hid from when she walked past or talked about in stage whispers when she was around. The only people who even attempted to be nice to her were Prince Ben and her cousins - especially Doug, who appreciated the protection Greta's fearsome scowl sometimes afforded him - and though Greta did appreciate them, there were also times when she wanted to just shake all of them and tell them firmly to stop pitying her, she was fine.

Except... she wasn't, not really - or at least not as much as she wanted everyone else to think. It wasn't that she actually wanted to make friends - or at least not with the prissy princesses and jock princes who would only be fair-weather friends at best. There were just times when it got to be too much, all the whispers and snide comments and younger students ducking around corners when they saw her coming. Times when Greta wished for companionship, for friends that weren't her relatives or the future king who felt sorry for her. Times when she thought she would have done anything just for someone to hang out with and talk to, someone who would smile at her genuinely and talk to her without derision or fear.

And when Ben decided to bring some villain kids over from the Isle of the Lost, Greta finally got that. Here were four people who understood what it was like to be outcasts, who held the same amount of disdain for Auradon's pretty and perfect façade as her. (Or at least three of them did, but Greta couldn't help finding Evie's constant awe at everything in Auradon kind of cute.) The bond between Greta and the group of VKs formed quickly, and when Mal decided to let her in on their mission to steal Fairy Godmother's wand and open the barrier to the Isle of the Lost, it didn't take Greta long at all to agree - how could she not, when the only people who'd ever wanted to be her friends were seeking to get rid of the model of society that had done nothing but reject her?

But as their plan continues to unfold and the VKs find themselves forming new bonds in Auradon, Greta also finds herself building a better relationship with the peers she thought all hated and feared her. However, she remains committed to the plan to steal the wand... only, as she makes more friends and starts to open up a little and even starts to fall in love with the daughter of the woman who almost killed her father, uncles, and godmother, that commitment becomes more tangled, more complicated, harder to stick to but also harder to back out of.

As Ben's coronation draws nearer and nearer, Greta finds herself forced to make a choice: will she and the VKs decide to shed their reputations and finally embrace Auradon... or will they unleash a whole Isle of Villains and prove what so many people think - that they really are rotten to the core? ❞

_____

Jo wakes the next morning to a text from Danny: Did you fuck the Winter Soldier?

She rolls her eyes and responds: Fuck off. He’s not the Winter Soldier anymore.

Danny replies with a leaf emoji and the words: Come upstairs.

Jo slides her glasses on and climbs out of bed. She pads into the living room as quietly as she can to find Bucky snoring on her couch with Toulouse perched on his chest. She can’t stop herself from snapping a picture with her phone.

Upstairs, she lets herself into Danny’s apartment. She’s met at the door by Greta, Danny’s PTSD service dog, a medium-sized German Shepherd who waits patiently for Jo to kneel down and scratch her behind her ears.

“Morning, pup,” Jo whispers.

“I’m out here,” Danny calls from his third-floor balcony.

“Coffee?” Jo asks.

“Cold-brew in the fridge,” Danny responds.

She detours to the kitchen before joining Danny at the small table on his balcony.

“Did you have a nightmare?” Jo asks. Danny always smokes the morning after a nightmare.

“They’re called flashbacks, and yes,” he responds, taking a deep drag of the joint.

“But they’re getting better, right?”

"Since you came back, yeah, they're getting better."

“Give me that,” Jo says, reaching for the joint. She takes a drag then exhales slowly. “You can always wake me up when you have a flashback, you know.”

Danny snorts. “I was afraid I’d wander into your bedroom to find you getting dicked down by an Avenger.”

“Please stop,” Jo groans. "You get that you're my brother, right? And this is weird."

Danny laughs, "It's only weird if you make it weird." Then he says, “Seriously, though, what’s the deal with Mister Tall-Dark-and-Handsome? I mean, if Sam trusts him, then he must be a good guy, but he’s literally a hundred years old, Jo.”

“He’s…” she pauses, “really sweet and charming underneath the brooding exterior. I really like him, Danny.”

“But?”

“But he lives in New York,” she whines.

“Yeah,” Danny says, taking another drag on the joint.

“‘Yeah?’ That’s all you’re going to say?”

Danny shrugs. “Some things are worth working for.”

Jo laughs, “Okay, why don’t you get back to me when you’re not high. I’m heading back downstairs.”

“Love you, Josiebean,” Danny says, using the nickname he gave Jo when they were kids.

“Love you, too, Daniel-San,” Jo replies. Danny laughs at the Karate Kid reference like he always does, and Jo kisses his forehead and pats his shoulder before leaving.

Bucky wakes to the smell of coffee and bacon, his stomach rumbling at the scent. There's a warm weight on his chest, and when he opens his eyes he's greeted with the yellow stare of Toulouse.

He looks at his watch. It's a little after eleven. He usually wakes earlier, but he also doesn't usually sleep as soundly as he did last night.

He wanders into the kitchen in his borrowed sweats to find Jo standing at the stove in an oversized t-shirt, shorts, and out-of-season Halloween socks, her hair piled on top of her head in a messy bun. Her back is to him, and he takes the opportunity to study her naked legs. More ink peaks out from the hem of her shorts and covers most of her thighs. Bucky has the urge to drop to his knees before her and run his tongue over every intricate design.

Instead, he clears his throat, so he doesn't startle her, and she turns to face him. Her face is bare, and she’s wearing large, gold-rimmed glasses. Bucky can’t decide if she looks prettier like this or like she did last night, with her hair flowing down her back and her guitar in her hands.

"Morning," Jo says. “Sorry to shatter the illusion,” she continues, gesturing to her glasses and outfit.

Bucky smiles. He isn’t sure what the protocol is for greeting the woman you made out with and whose couch you slept on last night, but he decides he wants to kiss her again. He takes the few steps toward her and pulls her into his arms. This close, she has to crane her neck up to look him in the eyes.

“Morning,” he says. They’re so close and his voice is pitched so low that Jo can feel the word rumble in his chest. Butterflies erupt in her stomach.

Bucky leans down slowly and presses his lips against Jo’s. This kiss is softer and slower than the kisses they shared last night, and the heat that explodes in Jo’s lower stomach burns the butterflies away. Her fingers dig into his triceps, one arm yielding to her touch, the other firm against her digits. She sighs and opens her mouth to his tongue, letting him deepen the kiss.

He licks into her mouth, and Jo moans, her hands coming up to cup his stubble-covered cheeks. Bucky’s own hands slide down Jo’s back to her buttocks, pulling her hips flush against his so she can feel the effect she’s having on him. Jo gasps, and Bucky’s lips leave hers to trail wet kisses against her jaw.

When he pulls away, Bucky’s smile is almost smug. He likes all the sounds he’s able to pull from her, and he wants to hear more.

Jo turns back to the stove, catching her breath and trying to hide the flush she knows is rising from her chest to her cheeks.

“Breakfast — well," she looks at the clock on the oven, "brunch — is ready. Have a seat.”

Bucky places a final kiss against the back of Jo’s neck before sitting.

Toulouse rubs against Bucky's legs beneath the kitchen table. He reaches down to scratch Louie between the ears, and the cat lets out a contented chirp.

"He's usually not that nice to strangers," Jo says, watching the two of them from across the room.

"My sister had a cat growing up — big, fat orange thing that was missing half an ear. His name was Marmalade."

Jo smiles brightly and sets a plate of food in front of him. “Coffee?” she asks.

“Please,” Bucky says. “But I can get it.”

“No need,” she says, handing him a mug of fresh coffee. “You want oat milk? Sugar, maybe?”

“Black is good,” Bucky says, taking his first sip.

Jo sits across from him with her own plate and coffee cup. They spend breakfast talking quietly. Bucky likes the domesticity of it. He's gotten used to having breakfast at the Wilson's with Sarah, Sam, and the boys, but this meal with Jo feels more intimate. He has a brief flash of spending every morning like this, but he pushes it away as quickly as it comes. He's trying not to overthink whatever’s happening between himself and Jo. He’s not used to having good things in his life, but he wants to lean into this, take the risk.

"You said last night that you know who I am," Bucky says as they clear their plates from the table.

Jo is quiet for a moment, neatly stacking plates and coffee cups in the dishwasher.

“I may have seen a documentary or two featuring the Howling Commandos,” she says, closing the dishwasher and turning to Bucky. “And Sam and Steve may have crashed in Danny’s apartment for a couple of months when they were on the run following the Accords.”

Bucky is silent. He's staring at Jo with the same brooding intensity as last night, but there's something more in his eyes — a sadness she hadn't noticed earlier. She's seen that look before on Danny when he first came back from Afghanistan. It's the look of someone who's lost everything. But as quickly as it's there, it's gone.

Bucky clears his throat. “You knew Steve?” he asks.

“Yeah. I mean, briefly,” she whispers. “Let me show you something.”

He follows her into the living room where she pulls a box from one of the bookshelves. She empties the contents onto the coffee table; it's a handful of polaroids featuring varied combinations of Jo and Sam and Steve and Danny. Bucky sits on the couch and picks up one of the photos. It's of Steve with a German Shepherd; in the photo Steve is smiling brightly, and Bucky's heart aches at the sight.

"That's Greta," Jo says, sitting next to Bucky, "Danny's dog. She was just a puppy then. She adored Steve."

Bucky laughs through his nose and picks up another photo. This one features Sam and Jo sitting at a table in a kitchen that looks like Jo's but slightly different — Bucky assumes it's Danny's; Sam is clearly in the middle of a story, and Jo's head is thrown back in laughter. A stab of jealousy hits him in the chest — Bucky wants to make her laugh like that. He skims through the rest of the polaroids, finally landing on one of Jo and Steve sitting side by side at a piano, Steve's large frame dwarfing the woman next to him.

"He found out I can play a few '30s and '40s standards on piano," Jo says, smiling at the memory. "There wasn't a lot for him and Sam to do cooped up here for three months, so I taught him some basics."

Bucky stares at the photo for a while before he speaks. "You play piano?" he asks.

"I started on piano, took up guitar when I was ten, then bass when I was thirteen. I can also play drums, organ, banjo, mandolin, and a little violin," she says. "And I have a Bachelors of Music with a concentration in voice."

Bucky stares at her for a moment, then tosses the photo back onto the coffee table and reaches for Jo, pulling her onto his lap. She settles with her legs on either side of his hips and her hands on his shoulders.

"So, you have very talented fingers, then?" Bucky asks with a flirty grin.

Jo rolls her eyes and laughs, but she's secretly pleased with where this interaction seems to be headed. She was worried Bucky would feel like she had kept something from him by not telling him about Steve last night, but he seems to be taking it in stride.

"Thanks for showing me those photographs," Bucky says, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "He gave up everything for me back then, so it's nice to see that maybe he had a little bit of happiness during that time."

"He wanted the same for you," she whispers, nudging her nose against Bucky's.

Bucky kisses her softly, then pulls away, staring into her green eyes. Jo slides her glasses off and sets them on the coffee table behind her.

She drags a finger down his vibranium arm and asks, “Can you feel that?”

Bucky licks his lips. “Yeah. It’s—it’s different from the real one, but yeah.”

Jo hums in acknowledgment but doesn’t say anything else. Their lips meet again, and this time the kiss is longer, needier. Bucky sweeps his tongue into her mouth, and Jo is certain she's going to have beard burn across her face tomorrow. But she doesn't really care.

Jo slides her hands into Bucky's hair, and he sighs into her mouth when she angles her hips against his just right, pressing against him slowly. His grip on her waist tightens before he slips his vibranium hand down across her backside to gently guide her movements. His flesh hand covers her right breast, palming her through her shirt.

Jo's hands leave his hair to slide beneath Bucky's t-shirt. He pulls back from her slightly and puts his hand over hers.

“I have scars,” Bucky warns.

“Okay,” Jo mumbles against his lips, trying for another kiss.

Bucky pulls back again. “They’re not pretty.”

Jo looks at him. “Bucky, do you really think I care about that? Do I look like someone who’s worried about conventional beauty standards?” she jokes. She smiles softly and brings a hand up to cradle his jaw. “You don’t have to show me. You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do,” she whispers, leaning in to kiss him again.

He pulls away from her mouth to tug the shirt over his head before he can overthink it. He’s gorgeous like this, and Jo wants to touch every inch of him. She starts with his chest, and her fingers dance lightly across the scars on Bucky’s left shoulder before she presses a quick kiss to the spot where flesh meets metal. Bucky smiles at the gesture, then his lips are on Jo's neck. As he sucks a mark into the place where her neck meets her shoulder, Bucky slips his flesh hand beneath the fabric of Jo's shirt.

Bucky's thumb slides across her nipple, and he pauses, warm metal against his digit stopping him. Jo can feel Bucky's fingers against her breast, trying to work out what exactly he's touching. She leans back, her hands on Bucky's chest to keep him from following her and pulls her t-shirt over her head.

Bucky's fairly certain his heart stops at the sight before him. He’s not sure what to look at first: the small gold balls that adorn either side of Jo’s erect nipples or the intricate floral design inked on her sternum between and below her breasts, framing them perfectly.

“So…I have my nipples pierced,” Jo says, taking Bucky’s staring for hesitation or confusion.

Bucky licks his lips. “Fuck,” he mutters before running his thumb across her right nipple and taking the left one between his teeth.

Jo hisses and bucks her hips harder against his cock. He's hot and hard beneath her as she grinds against him. The feeling he had last night – of being on fire – has returned, but it's tenfold now. Every thought of taking things slow, every bit of doubt has evaporated in wake of his need to please Jo.

Bucky grips Jo's waist and flips her onto her back on the couch, coming to rest between her open legs.

“Is this okay?” he asks, pressing his bare chest against hers. His dog tags are cool against her skin.

“Very," she breathes.

Bucky's lips find Jo's again before trailing across her jaw, down her neck, and over her breasts. He lets his tongue explore one of her pierced nipples before taking the bud between his teeth and pulling slightly. Jo gasps, and her own hands slide from Bucky's shoulders down his chest and across his stomach, her blunt fingernails scratching against his abs as she goes. She palms his cock through his sweats, and Bucky's hips stutter. His eyes clench shut like he’s in pain, and he pulls away to catch his breath.

"Sorry," Jo says quickly, removing her hand. "We can slow down."

"No," Bucky all but growls, then takes another deep breath and opens his eyes. "No. It's just been," he pauses, "it's been a while since I've done this, and you're kind of driving me crazy, Jo." He lets out a breathy laugh, then seems to sober. "I just—I, uh, need to be in control of some things. If that's okay."

She smiles her understanding before kissing him, softer this time. Bucky leans into the kiss and sweeps his tongue into her mouth, tasting her. He props himself up with his vibranium hand, and his right hand moves back to Jo's breasts, teasing each nipple in turn.

"Tell me what you want," Jo says as Bucky's teeth bite gently at her pulse point.

Bucky presses his lips against Jo's ear and whispers, "Touch yourself. Please. I want to watch you fall apart."

Jo whimpers. She catches the look on Bucky's face as her hand travels down her body and into her shorts. His pupils are blown wide, barely a hint of blue visible around black. She knows her own eyes look much the same.

She hisses when her fingers meet the bundle of nerves between her legs, then slide lower. Bucky can't decide if he wants to watch her hand beneath her shorts or her face. He settles for moving his eyes between her face and breasts, watching them rise and fall with each breath she takes. Finally, he lowers his head back between her breasts and traces the outline of the tattoo there with his tongue. Jo moans and bucks her hips.

Bucky presses his own hips against the couch, trying to find the smallest bit of relief. He's not going to last. It's been too long since he's been with someone this way, and his body feels like a live wire. He reaches up to push the fabric of her shorts aside, moaning when he realizes she's not wearing anything beneath them.

He feels Jo's fingers pull away, and he growls, "Keep touching yourself." She does, her fingers rubbing hard circles into her clit. "Good girl," Bucky praises, and Jo keens, Bucky's name falling from her lips.

He slips his own fingers inside of her. She's so wet and warm, Bucky is afraid he'll finish just from this. Or maybe it will be the sound of her moans that do me in, he thinks. Because she sounds lovely, better than she did on stage last night. And she feels perfect wrapped around his two digits. He adds a third, and Jo's whole body tenses. Bucky can feel her warm heat tighten around his fingers as her legs bend and draw in closer to her body. The sight of Jo coming pushes him over the edge. He's spilling into his sweatpants like a teenager, and he doesn't even care. All he can think of is the sound of Jo, the feel of Jo, the look on Jo's face.

Bucky collapses onto Jo's body, his full weight resting on her for a second before he props himself up again and looks at her. She's smiling sleepily, a slightly dazed look in her eyes, and he can't help but admit that it makes his ego swell to know he can make her smile like that.

"That was..." he starts.

Jo hesitates, then runs her fingers through his hair softly. "Good? Great? Amazing?" she says.

Bucky breathes out a laugh and rests his head on her chest for a moment. "All of the above," he replies. Jo hums, and Bucky continues, lifting his head again to look at her, "You're fucking perfect, doll."

Jo laughs, and replies, "You probably say that to all the girls, Sarge."

Bucky sobers. "No, Jo, I don't. Really." He brushes a strand of hair from her face. "When I said I haven't done this in a while, that was an understatement," he says. Dr. Raynor told him he needed to open up, nurture friendships (or whatever this is turning into), so here he goes. "I wasn't really planning on this happening — not that I'm not glad that it did..." He pauses.

"But you live in New York, and I live here. And we just met,” Jo finishes.

"I don't know how things like this work these days," he says. He's looking at her with such sincerity that Jo thinks her heart might burst. "I told you I wanted to do this right. Dinner, flowers, the whole nine yards.”

Jo cocks her head to the side and smiles. "Let's start with dinner."

_____

They lay in silence for a while, Bucky's head resting on Jo's naked breasts, her fingers running through his hair. Jo's starting to think he's fallen asleep when Bucky speaks again.

“I should probably go,” Bucky says reluctantly. "Sam was expecting my help with the boat today."

"I'll drive you," Jo says. "Just let me get dressed."

"You don't have to do that. I can call a cab."

"Delacroix's, like, an hour outside the city. It'll cost a fortune. Let me drive you."

Bucky hesitates, but Jo nudges at his right shoulder gently until he agrees. He presses a soft kiss to her lips before he stands and offers her a hand. While Bucky moves into the bathroom to change back into his own boxers and jeans, Jo slips into her room. She comes back out wearing jeans and a vintage Lilith Fair t-shirt; she's traded her glasses for contacts. Jo shoves her feet into her combat boots at the door and turns back to kiss Bucky quickly before they leave the apartment.

_____

The drive to Delacroix is quiet except for Jo's Paul Simon playlist thrumming from the car speakers. Bucky thinks he might actually like the music. Or maybe he just likes listening to Jo sing every word.

When Jo pulls up outside Sarah's house, Bucky turns to her from the passenger seat. “I don’t have your number,” he says.

“Give me your phone," she responds, smiling and holding her hand out.

Bucky unlocks his phone and hands it over. Jo saves her number before texting herself so she has his, as well. She deletes the text conversation and hands his phone back.

"There you go, Sarge," she says with a wink.

Bucky leans across the car's console and wraps his vibranium hand around the back of Jo's neck. He pulls her close and presses his lips against hers gently. Jo responds by running her fingers across the stubble on Bucky's jaw and sweeping her tongue into his mouth. A moan rumbles through Bucky's chest, and he tries to move closer to Jo's body, but he knocks his knees roughly against the center divider.

"Shit," he curses, pulling away. "It was easier to kiss a dame in the front seat of a car in the '40s," Bucky complains.

Jo laughs. "Kissing a lot of dames in cars, were you?"

"I got around," Bucky says, a grin on his face.

He feels like himself around Jo – not exactly the person he was before the war, but close. He almost feels like he could be a better version of that man; he wants to be that for Jo. For now, though, it's easy to flirt and laugh with her, watch her eyes light up and her smile brighten.

"I believe it, Sarge," Jo teases. Over Bucky's shoulder, she notices Sam standing on the front porch of the house. "I think I've stolen you away from Sam long enough," she says.

"Please, doll, steal me away anytime," Bucky flirts. He kisses her once more. "I'll see you Tuesday," he whispers, his hand lingering on her cheek before he climbs out of the car.

“Looks like someone had a good night,” Sam laughs as Bucky ascends the front porch steps.

“We are not talking about this,” Bucky grumbles.

“Oh, we’re definitely talking about this,” Sam says, clapping Bucky on the back.

[cassiabaggins]

Hello! A question about all of your OCs (I hope no one has asked before) : How did you pick their names? Do they have meanings?

-@midearthwritings

*cracks knuckles* WELL! I’m so glad you asked! Naming my ocs is so fun, because I love finding the perfect name for them! I use either Fantasy Name Generators or Behind the Name to help me and some I just make up on my own! Most of my oc’s names have meanings and some don’t! Lets start from the top!

Cassia got her name from a horse, funnily enough! In the summers I work for a horse ranch that rescues horses and works with children with special needs or who are having mental health issues. I was making up Cassia and trying to decide between the names Lily, Rose, and Evangeline but none of those seemed right! Then, I met the new horse at my job, named Cassia, which means cinnamon and I thought it was beautiful, so the name stuck!

Delphinia is named after the delphinium flower. They symbolize cheerfulness and goodwill, encouragement, joy, and remembrance, and I thought that was a lovely name for Cassia’s best friend and pseudo big sister!

Bluebell and Begonia, Delphinia’s mothers, (adopted and biological, respectively) are named after flowers. Bluebell symbolizes humility, constancy, and everlasting love while Begonia symbolizes caution and warning, but also gratitude!

Rhis is named to rhyme with her mother’s name, as Fili and Kili are named to rhyme with each other. I have a headcanon that all of the dams in the Durin line have names that end in “-is”. Her name is pronounced like Reese, and is a form of Rhys, meaning ‘enthusiasm’!

Mhaite is a form of the Basque name Maite, meaning “Beloved” or “Lovable” and I thought that was a good name for someone so loved by everyone, not just her parents! (Pronounced MIE-teh, a long i as in bite)

Brynja has a named meaning “armor” in Old Norse, which is fitting because she has a bit of an armor around her heart! Her mother’s name, Dagny, means “new day” and was chosen just because I liked it!

Ásdís means goddess in Old Norse and her name was chosen because she is also of the Durin line (Dwalin and Balin’s sister)

Khar means obstinate in Ancient Scandinavian which is also pretty fitting, however, I didn’t decide his name based on that, I just needed a quick name and he ended up having a much more developed story and role than I anticipated!

Brom has no meaning, however, his wife, Eir, has a name meaning “mercy” and their daughter, Sif, has a name meaning “Bride”. None of these names were picked for any particular reason beside Sif’s as she us (eventually) the bride of Fili and Cassia’s eldest child. 

Gamríth has no meaning. Her father’s name is Gamling and her name was derived from that. Her original name was Greta, meaning “pearl”

Heidi means Noble. Her daughter, Isolde’s name means “battle” and her husband, Olthon means oltha (to dream) + ron (male). Those names were mostly picked because I thought they were pretty!

Síladis means Síla (to shine white) + dis (female). Her name comes from her pale grey eyes. Maethril, her daughter’s, name means Maeth (battle/fight) + ril (daughter). Her name was chosen because she was born sickly and weak and always had to fight to live. 

Ñandellë has three names, as is typical of elves. Ñandellë (Little Harp) + ë (Woman who does) is a nickname given by her teacher, Galadriel, and is her primary name. This was chosen because of her love of the harp! Her father name is Olthadis (Oltha (To Dream) + dis (female)), given because of her foresight which comes to her in dreams. And finally, her mother name, Triwathel (Triwath (Slender Shadow) + sell (Girl)) is given because of her long dark hair, lovely dark skin, and slender build. 

My Kiliel kids are named Eydís, a dwarven name chosen because she is a lass born to the line of Durin, and means “good fortune”, as she is Kili and Tauriel’s little treasure. Her brother,  Orodion, has a name meaning “son of the mountain”, a fitting name for an elf/dwarf hybrid!

The names for Fili and Cassia’s children were chosen so the boys’ names would end in “-in” and the girl’s would be named after flowers, as is typical of hobbits. They are Thorin (after Thorin Oakenshield, derived from Thor, meaning “thunder”), Kirin (derived from Kili, meaning “wedge”), Arnin (named after Fili’s maternal grandmother, Arna, meaing “eagle”), Belladonna (”determination”, named after Cassia’s mother), Vilrin ( “will”, named after Fili’s father, Vili), Frerin (named after Fili’s uncle, “peaceful”), Corin ( “spear”), Columbine (flower symbolizing “wisdom”), Leifrin ( “descendant”), Eglantine (flower symbolizing “purity”), Elestren (, another name for iris, a flower symbolizing “valor”) and Daffodil (a flower symbolizing “rebirth” and “new beginnings”)

Thank you so much for this ask, I always love talking about my characters! I hope you enjoyed this long winded answer!

Alright, since I realize I haven’t exactly been as active on here recently as I would like to have been, I thought I would attempt to make up for it by letting you guys in on some of the newest OC babies I’m planning on introducing soon. I hope you guys like these little tidbits, and (even though I don’t have any of their intro posts up yet), feel free to ask me whatever questions you’d like about them!!

BAILEY TAYLOR, GLEE:

— Texas native who transfers to McKinley at the beginning of season two after her mother’s job is relocated to Lima.

— Generally your typical sweet Southern belle, but also fiercely independent and has a feisty streak.

— Well-set up to be popular when she first transfers, but quickly becomes an outcast after giving a tongue-lashing to some jocks after she watches them slushy Tina, so she joins New Directions.

— Generally sings country and pop music outside of the group numbers, but occasionally busts out a showtune (and does some country duets with Sam).

— Either a Tina or Santana ship, I haven’t quite decided yet.

CLARKE TALEB, TRIPLE FRONTIER:

— Her story is set in kind of an AU post-canon after the boys recover the stolen money from the ravine, where Santi officially retires and they all move to the same town close to each other (and also where Frankie doesn’t have a baby and broke up with his girlfriend because I just. Can’t really deal with that).

— Quite literally bumps into Frankie at a bar (and spills her drink all over him) and very quickly becomes friends with all four of them.

— A total energetic and social ray of sunshine who’s very comfortable in her bisexuality and active in her local queer community, and helps the boys come to terms with their various non-straight identities.

— The main singer at a local burlesque club, and KILLS it as a performer.

— In a poly ship with all four former Delta Squad boys, who are all also dating each other (except for Will and Benny, obviously).

GRETA DWARF, DISNEY’S DESCENDANTS:

— Daughter of Grumpy of the seven dwarves fame.

— Pretty much lives up to her father’s name; doesn’t put up with one bit of crap and is never afraid to speak her mind (which normally doesn’t make most people happy, but she doesn’t really like people anyway).

— Is definitely an outcast in Auradon and at school; the only people who actually talk to her at school outside of the teachers are Ben and her cousin Doug, who’s actually a little scared of her.

— Befriends Mal almost immediately after the VKs get to Auradon (they are truly kindred spirits) and decides to try and help them steal Fairy Godmother’s wand because she resents Auradon and how fake and falsely cherry it is.

— Doesn’t really lose her prickly streak by the time the Coronation rolls around, but does come to realize that not everyone in Auradon is so bad and she needs to let people in more.

— Definitely besties with Mal, but also strikes up unlikely friendships with Carlos and Lonnie (and kind of becomes Carlos and Jane’s unofficial protector since they’re both pretty quiet and she is. Not).

— Also an Evie ship because I simply have to give my beloved girl a girlfriend. <3

ISAAC HOLLIDAY, TWLIGHT:

— A boyfriend for my bi king Charlie Swan. <3

— A tailor who runs a clothing shop in downtown Forks - Charlie constantly brings his uniform to his shop whenever it gets ripped.

— Definitely suspects the Cullens of being vampires but can never prove it until Charlie lets him know about Edward and this man just jumps up and shouts “I KNEW IT!”

— Sweet but fiercely loyal and protective Gryffinpuff king. <3

— Definitely acts as a non-Charlie adult confidant to Bella and is the best stepdad when he and Charlie finally get together.

— Also used to have a bit of a crush on Carlisle and still gets nervous around him even after getting together with Charlie because Carlisle is just. So pretty.

LUCY SCRUBB, INDIANA JONES:

— A British archeologist working with American Army Intelligence who gets assigned with Indy to help him find the Ark of the Covenant.

— Kind of shy and socially awkward (mostly due to constantly being underestimated in her field for being a woman) but incredibly intelligent and observant and knows when to stand her ground and not take other people’s crap.

— (Also probably autistic, but, well, they didn’t really have the language for that back then. But she is.)

— An incredibly sweet and compassionate woman who would do anything to help people in need (but also tends to trust too easily, which is why Indy is good at balancing her out).

— Indy likes to call her Lou, and she pretends to hate it, but she secretly loves that he thinks enough of her to give her a cute nickname.

— A ship for the daring professor himself, obviously!

VIA WINCHESTER, SUPERNATURAL:

— (Yes, I know Winchester sister OCs are overdone, I don’t even care.)

— Technically her first name is Olivia, but she doesn’t like it and prefers to go exclusively by Via.

— Sam and Dean’s half-sister, fifteen years old in the first season, who was born out of a three-night stand between John and her mother.

— John didn’t stick around, obviously, but he kept tabs on Via and her mother and when the woman was killed in a car accident shortly after Sam left for collage, he came and got her and started training her to be a hunter.

— Immediately loves her two older brothers and is fiercely loyal to and protective of them, but shares a closer bond with Dean since she’s spent more time with him.

— Doesn’t like John at all, however, both for essentially abandoning her and her mother and for trying to turn all his children into hunters rather than letting them have normal childhoods, which is a point of contention between her and Dean.

— Despite her anger towards John forcing his kids into early training, she loves being a hunter and has a particular affinity for taking down vampires.

— A badass baby lesbian (who not only knows Dean is bi WAY before they even meet Cas but takes one look at Sam the first time they meet and is like, “Well, this one’s not straight either”).

— Might not have a love interest, or I might make another OC to give her a girlfriend, I haven’t decided yet (I’ll probably wait until I get a little further into the series).

Alright, that’s it for my more immediately upcoming OCs!! Again, feel free to ask me any questions you want about my newest babies!!

OC question of the week: What would history remember Greta Dwarf for? How would they become famous?

Ooooh, this is a great question, thank you so much!! I will also be tagging my Descendants besties @dancingsunflowers-ocs, @manyfandomocs, @ginevrastilinski-ocs, and @ginger-grimm just in case they’re curious!! <3

Now, like the VKs, Greta would definitely become known for being a part of the group of kids who almost stole Fairy Godmother’s wand, since she was helping them in their endeavour to take it up until the very end when they all chose good at the coronation. But again in the same vein, she would also be known as one of the kids who publicly repented and apologized for what she’d done, and went on to have a very happy life after that. She also eventually becomes the official royal advisor to the Summerlands, her godmother Snow White’s kingdom, and gains a reputation for being a compassionate and fair advisor, so I definitely think history would remember her for that!

[daughter-of-melpomene]

🎧 + greta dwarf

Thanks so much for this ask!! (And I’ll also tag @dancingsunflowers-ocs since she also asked for this with Greta! <3)

Okay, so I would definitely say that “Anti-Hero” by Taylor Swift is a good theme song for Greta, which is part of the reason I named her fic after it - she’s spent most of her life feeling like she’s not good enough to be in Auradon and not evil enough to go to the Isle, and the song pretty perfectly encapsulates her view of herself because of that. But “I’m Just Your Problem” by Olivia Olsen is also a very good song for her, because I can totally see her singing it to Ben or Audrey or any of the perfect royal Auradon kids that she resents for being “good enough to belong”.

send me 🎧 + an oc and i’ll tell you what their theme song is!!

#asks about my ocs #oc: greta dwarf

[daughter-of-melpomene]

hii Dolly!!! a little birdy sent me, hoping you could give a few facts about each of your new ocs so I could make you something nice 🐦

Well, hello there, dear Anon!! On the off chance that by "new OCs" you mean the ones I submitted for the OC Potluck Exchange, those are the ones I will share some facts about!! If not, well, all of these OCs are new this year, or at least ones that I've neglected a bit this year, so this still works!! (Also, I put four out of five of them under the cut just to save space.)

First, let's talk about Ananya Kaur, one of my new Pride & Prejudice OCs!!

Ananya is three years younger than her older brother Rohan, and as much as she absolutely adores her brother, she hates nothing more than when he teases her about being younger and "respecting your elders".

She is married to Fitzwilliam Darcy, but not at all because either of them love each other. In fact, it's more of a lavender marriage situation, with her brother married to Elizabeth Bennet, because Rohan and Darcy are in love and so are Ananya and Lizzie, so the four of them agreed to the marriages so that everyone could be with the person they loved.

However, despite not being in love, Ananya and Darcy are very good friends. They spend a lot of time together when Lizzie and Rohan aren't around, either talking or just reading together in companionable silence. They are also very sunshine x sunshine protector - Ananya is a very sweet and caring person, and Darcy will always do his best to prevent her from being taken advantage of.

Ananya has a true green thumb, and had her own little garden out back when she and Rohan still lived with their parents. Now that she lives at Darcy's estate, she's in charge of all the gardens and their upkeep, and most often can be found kneeling in one of the flowerbeds with her hands deep in the dirt.

Despite not being very skilled when it comes to music itself - singing and playing the pianoforte and the like - Ananya is a remarkable dancer. Though that alone has never exactly earned her any proposals, many people at social gatherings tend to remark on how skilled she is at it.

Next, we have one of my Fast & Furious OCs, AJ Vargas!!

Now, unlike most of Dom's crew, AJ has very little skill actually driving - in fact, he failed his driver's test twice before he finally got his license. However, he is a master of repairing and supping up cars, making additions and changing things around within cars to make them faster, tougher, and more likely to kick ass.

Having grown up with the Shaw siblings, AJ started sleeping with Owen on and off when they were teenagers, and this relationship continued right up until AJ defected from Owen's criminal crew and offered to help Dom's team. It was a very unhealthy relationship, with Owen calling every single one of the shots and AJ allowing his cruelty to go on for far too long because he was blinded by love, and AJ can acknowledge that, but it was also the only semi-real relationship he ever had before he got together with Roman and sometimes, secretly, he still misses it.

However, even AJ's borderline betrayal of Owen and all the damages that came after has never actually stopped Queenie, the Shaw siblings' mother, from seeing AJ as her favorite child, whether he's biologically hers or not. Owen, Deckard, and Hattie have all complained about this before, but according to Queenie, AJ is the only one of them who's never been foolish enough to get arrested for his criminal activity, so why wouldn't he be her favorite?

AJ is fluent in five languages, including English and Spanish, and fairly regularly, when he wants to insult someone, will do it in one of the non-English languages, because typically the person won't speak the language he's using and either doesn't know what they've just been called or can't prove they've been insulted.

AJ is actually unlikely besties with Letty, since he was always kind to her when she was part of Owen's crew when she didn't have her memories and vouched for him when he first approached Dom's team as a result. They quite often have little silent hang-outs where they just sit next to each other and drink (wine for AJ, something stronger for Letty) and judge other people for a bit.

AJ is actually unlikely besties with Letty, since he was always kind to her when she was part of Owen's crew when she didn't have her memories and vouched for him when he first approached Dom's team as a result. They quite often have little silent hang-outs where they just sit next to each other and drink (wine for AJ, something stronger for Letty) and judge other people for a bit.

Now onto my other Fast & Furious OC, Florencia "Flo" Sánchez!

Flo, unlike AJ, is a more standard member of Dom's crew - she's an absolutely badass driver, first recruited onto the team during Brian and Dom's bid to infiltrate Braga's crew and find information about Letty, since Brian remembered her from Tej's racing ring.

She's also a bisexual queen, who loves to show her pride as much as possible. She has several bi flag and pride flag t-shirts, pretty much always has a bi flag pin on her jacket or some flag-colored jewelry if she's not wearing a shirt, and even has purple, pink, and blue dice hanging from the mirror of her car.

She's a Deckard Shaw love interest, despite the fact that she absolutely hates him when they first meet for nearly killing most of her found family and then strolling in to team up with them like they're the unreasonable ones for being angry at him. It takes a lot of anger and sniping back and forth (and even physical fights that occasionally include knives held to throats) before they're even ready to say they don't hate each other, let alone for them to get together, but they do get there.

Flo is also an MMA instructor in between adventures with the team, and she often puts those skills to good use in the more face-to-face confrontations involved in the family's fights. She's also tried to teach other members of the team to fight, but it hasn't always gone well (Ramsey, for example, refused to take any more lessons after a week, and Tej just refused to take any outright).

Surprisingly enough for all the things she's done in her life, Flo is actually a practicing Christian - she's not Catholic like she was raised, and she doesn't find herself in a church very often, but she prays very regularly and always wears her mother's old cross necklace, as well as keeping another small cross on a chain in the glove compartment of all her cars.

Now let's talk about Greta Dwarf, my new Descendants OC!!

Being the daughter of Grumpy, Greta may not have had a lot of friends until the VKs came to Auradon due to her prickly attitude, but she's also always had a loving family with her dad, uncles, and cousins. Greta is very much a family girl in her own unique, surly way, and would do anything for her family, and she knows they would all do the same for her.

Greta is a big fan of punk and rock music, for all there isn't a lot of those kind of bands in Auradon. It makes up about ninety percent of the music on all her playlists, she has posters of her favorite bands all around the bed in her dorm room, and tickets to an underground punk show is the best present you could possibly get her. Evie does convince her to expand her musical horizons eventually, but it takes time.

Although it isn't exactly uncommon for the kids of sidekicks in Auradon to only have one parent (and Greta certainly does consider her uncles and some of her older cousins to be parental figures), she often wonders who her mother is and what drew her father to her in the first place. She wouldn't ever try and find her or ask too many questions if her father didn't want her to, but the curiosity is still there, and there's always a chance she might indulge it one day.

For a very long time, Greta calls Audrey "Pinky" to annoy her, but after Greta starts opening up to people more and Audrey starts working to improve herself following the whole incident with her trying to take over Auradon, the nickname and all the little barbs they like to throw back and forth stop. They don't ever actually become friends, there's too many years of animosity between them for that, but they do eventually become comfortable with each other.

Greta's family has known she was a lesbian since she was eight, long before she even fully realized it, so she's never had an official coming out, at least not to her family. There was simply never a need for it, since they all already knew.

And finally, we have the OC who's not new so much as a bit neglected - my Brooklyn Nine-Nine baby, Nicky Bauer!

Nicky is basically a collector of fidget toys. His desk at the precinct is absolutely littered with toys of all kinds, fidget spinners and tangles and Rubix cubes alike. Miraculously, his desk is also very organized, despite the amount of stuff on it.

Despite his trauma associated with religion, since it's the reason his parents kicked him out after he came out, Nicky still goes to church most Sundays he's not working and prays fairly regularly. Faith was still a big part of his childhood, and not only does he sincerely believe in God, he doesn't quite want to let go of the comfort religion brings him.

Nicky's first kiss with a boy was in his senior year of high school, with an Italian exchange student that he had been working on a project with at the other boy's house. This was a month or so after Nicky had been kicked out and wasn't living with his parents anymore, and he nearly cried right after the kiss, because this was the first time he'd done something relating to his true self that he'd been able to do without worrying about his parents finding out and getting angry at him.

Nicky never exactly had an emo phase, so much as he went through a phase where he wore a lot of hoodies and jeans and usually had his hood up to hide his face when he could get away with it. It had more to do with his insecurities after his parents kicked him out than it did with any real emo inclinations, but after finding pictures from that era, Rosa still likes to tease him about it.

Speaking of Rosa! She and Nicky are absolute besties, as unexpected as that is/was. Rosa just finds Nicky's optimism and internal strength, not to mention his remarkable skill as a detective, really amazing, and because of that she basically just decided that this was her friend who she'd protect with her life. She likes Nicky so much that when he and Jake start dating, despite the fact that she's been friends with Jake for longer, Jake is the one who gets the shovel talk from her.

Anyways!! Thank you so much again for asking about my newer babies, and I really look forward to seeing what you make!!

(Also gonna tag @oneirataxia-girl since she wanted to know about my Pride & Prejudice babies, and @dancingsunflowers-ocs and @carmens-garden since I know they love Greta!!)

🐱 for Greta?

Thank you so much, Anna my beloved!! (And I'm gonna tag @dancingsunflowers-ocs since she's my other Descendants lover. <3)

If they're a light or heavy sleeper: Somewhere in the middle; she won't wake up at any little sound, but she won't exactly sleep through a hurricane either.

What they would do if they won the lottery right now: Put a good amount towards buying Evie the castle she wants so badly, buy some gifts for her father, uncles, and cousins, and put the rest in a savings account so she can save up for important stuff.

If they have a special item that they couldn't bear to lose: A note Evie passed her in class one day, asking her to meet by the enchanted lake after school. They had their first kiss by the lake that day, and Greta has kept that note in a drawer in her nightstand, hoping like anything that she never loses it.

One negative personality trait of theirs: Her incredible stubbornness and refusal to let people in. She does get better at the latter, eventually, but the former isn't so easy to shake and tends to get her in trouble.

Their favorite 70s song: "Landslide" by The Chicks.

The color(s) associated with their zodiac: Green and pink (Taurus).

Their favorite comedy movie: Game Night.

About one person they've lost: Greta, thankfully, has been lucky enough not to lose anyone important to her.

A quote I associate with them: "I've never been good at emotional stuff. Except anger. Anger, I'm good at."

If they're a lover or a fighter: Definitely a fighter - she's a hundred times more likely to punch her way out of a problem as talk her way out of it.

[daughter-of-melpomene]

The crossover game for my babies Dolly, Primrose, Victoria, Kit and Maya?

Of course, Greta my beloved, anything for you!! Here’s some ideas. <3

FOR DOLLY:

Betty Holland — there may be some issue with them both being Max ships, but if we ignore that I think they’d be really cute friends!

Jandro Torres — Jandro has a habit of unofficially adopting all the kids and teenagers, and I definitely believe he’d love Dolly and act as a very sweet father figure to her.

Mariah Wu — Mariah may not be very good at showing affection, but I’m sure she’d take one look at Dolly and be like “this kid is mine, I’m protecting her now” (and she’d definitely constantly refer to Dolly as the better Harrington just to make Steve look at her with exaggerated hurt feelings).

FOR PRIMROSE:

Greta Dwarf — Greta might judge Primrose a bit for dating Audrey at first, because she doesn’t like Audrey at all, but I do think they’d be pretty good friends, and Primrose would be one of the only people who could coax a genuine laugh out of Greta.

Sebastian White — I think Primrose might have been one of Sebastian’s only friends before the VKs come to Auradon, and they would have a ton of fun pulling harmless little pranks together.

FOR VICTORIA:

Theo Ester — Theo kind of develops a protective uncle-nephew relationship with Peter as he gets to know the Avengers better, so I could definitely see him bonding with Victoria too and feeling protective over her.

Dev Kahtri — Dev would absolutely love Victoria, I think, and the two of them could bond over being in love with superheroes who always insist on stressing them out by throwing themselves into danger (and if she ever needs help with English homework, Dev is more than happy to provide).

FOR KIT:

Dev Kahtri — given that Dev has worked directly with Kit’s brother once or twice, I definitely think they would have had some time to get to know each other, and that Dev would be a little bit protective over Kit like another older brother would.

Theo Ester — Theo tends to get a little nervous around Clint, finding him loud and a bit too snappy at times, but he’d probably be more comfortable around Kit, becoming genuine friends with him and even getting comfortable enough to talk about their respective boyfriends with him eventually.

Helios — if Kit ever meets the Eternals, I get the feeling he and Helios would get along pretty well, and Helios would do his best to protect Kit from Kingo’s constant teasing and Thena’s constant dead-eyed looks.

FOR MAYA:

Parker Holloway — I mean, Parker’s dating Maya’s brother, they would definitely get to know each other! And I’m sure Parker would really like Maya, definitely calls her the better sibling just to get a rise out of Puck.

Bruno Keeley — I’m sure Bruno and Maya would make for an expected but really nice friendship! I can definitely see them doing some fun duets.

Bailey Taylor — they’re both girls with an appreciation for cute style, so I’m sure they’d be great friends! Bailey doesn’t have a lot of love for Maya’s brother at first, but she’d definitely love Maya, and probably warm up to Puck a bit quicker because of their friendship.

send me one or more of your ocs and i’ll tell you which of mine i think would work best for a crossover!!

🐸 for Greta, the grumpiest babe (who we need to have cross over with my Descendants girlies cause how could we not?)

Yesss, we should absolutely talk about crossovers soon!! Thanks so much for the ask, Anna!! <3

Something they collect: Fellow Auradon Prep students who dislike her (😅), at least prior to the VKs coming to Auradon.

Their sun, moon, and rising star sign: Taurus sun, Scorpio moon, and Gemini rising.

The first thing they bought with their own money: Her first leather jacket; she saved up for months to be able to buy it from a thrift store near her house.

One positive personality trait of theirs: How fiercely she cares about people once she actually lets them in.

Their favorite 80s song: "Running Up That Hill" by Kate Bush.

If they're a good or bad cook: Surprisingly, she's actually pretty good at it; she's cooked for Evie on many of their dates.

Their favorite horror movie: Hereditary.

Who would play them in a biopic about their life: Aimee Lou Wood.

Who would play their older/younger version: Sydney Lucas for the younger version, Melanie Lynsky for the older version.

An event from their High School reunion (if they haven't had one, time travel and make one up!): Evie and Jane wound up dragging her to it, but she, Mal, and Jay spiked the punch bowl with a floating potion, and within an hour everyone at the reunion was laughing and soaring above the ground while Audrey grumbled about them ruining her careful planning of the event.

[daughter-of-melpomene]

Ahhh! I love your new plot bunnies! 💚

I have to ask this for name reasons (she's my namesake! 🥺). Give us more about Greta, I want to know everything! 🥰

Ohhh, thank you so much, I would love to talk about my newest daughter!!

Okay, so as I mentioned, Greta is the daughter of Grumpy and Doug’s cousin, which kind of makes her an outcast at Auradon Prep right off the bat, because her dad already has a reputation for being… well, grumpy, and not fitting into the mould of Auradon’s perfect and cheerful façade. Greta’s uncles did make an effort when she was growing up to raise her with a more cheerful outlook, to try and avoid having her face the same dislike her father did, but it didn’t do much good - she goes off to school disliking most people and not wanting to be bothered, and her fellow students really don’t do anything to help her attitude by shunning her and making snide comments behind her back. (Ben and her cousins don’t do this, of course, but they’re pretty much the outliers.)

So by the time the VKs arrive in Auradon, Greta is pretty much completely the black sheep of Auradon’s youth, disdained by most of her fellow teenagers and outright feared by others, without having really done anything to earn it except for being a little surly. She finds she has this in common with the VKs, however, and pretty much immediately becomes friends with Mal (or whatever the cool closed-off girl equivalent of friends is). And when she overhears them discussing their plan to steal the wand and unleash the villains onto Auradon, she figures, why not? Except for Ben and her family (including her Auntie Snow and Uncle Florian), no one in Auradon has ever made an effort to be kind to her, despite how perfect and good everyone in Auradon likes to paint themselves. Greta is angry at the world and wants to bring Auradon’s façade crumbling down, and so she offers to help the group steal Fairy Godmother’s wand.

But as the plot of the first movie progresses and the VKs find themselves starting to like Auradon a little more, Greta somehow finds herself developing new bonds. She makes friends with Lonnie (who she’s always thought was cool but avoided because she thought she’d be like everyone else and hate her), and even manages to have a conversation with Jane and convince her not to be scared, getting closer with her in the process. She also winds up getting closer to Evie, being the first one to warn her about Chad and convince her that she doesn’t need to act dumb in order to get people to like her (even though she’s a little worried about how her family might react to her making friends with the daughter of the woman who tried to kill them).

However, then comes the setback of Family Day, and Greta actually finds herself torn - she’s just seen firsthand the prejudice and undeserved hatred people in Auradon can have for those different from them, but she’s realized that not everyone here is like that and she doesn’t want everyone to be hurt when the villains invade Auradon. But she continues to go along with the group’s plan, if only because the VKs were the first true friends she’s ever had and she can’t bring herself to go against them.

Thankfully, she doesn’t wind up having to choose between her home or her friends, because Jane grabs the wand at the Coronation and Greta is able to stand with the VKs as they all choose good, even chiming in to announce that even though she technically isn’t a villain kid, she hasn’t exactly been acting very good either, and she wants to change that. She isn’t part of the spell Mal casts to change Maleficent into a lizard, because she may be friends with the VKs but she doesn’t quite have their bond, but she’s definitely there to dance with all of them at the end of the night, rejoicing in her newfound friends. And she doesn’t exactly stop being grumpy after this, but she does learn to let her walls down and let people in a little bit more, and really that’s good enough.

(She and Evie don’t quite get together immediately after this, that takes a little bit… but, well, I can’t tell you everything about her right now, can I?)

🐴 for Greta, my grumpy godchild

Your godchild, indeed <3. Thanks a bunch for this, Anna!!

Their favorite musical: Fun Home.

Their first ever halloween costume: She’s never actually been trick-or-treating, but when she was a baby her uncle Doc had the idea to dress her up like her auntie Snow for some family Halloween pictures. (She looked adorable, but there was a scowl on her chubby little baby face in all the pictures.)

Their favorite 2010s song: “Meant to Be Yours” from Heathers: The Musical.

Their favorite kind of weather: Dark and rainy and just a little bit cold - it’s generally a perfect reflection of her mood, and she loves it.

What extracurriculars they did in school: None.

Their favorite word: Crass.

About their first kiss: It was with Evie, during the dance after Ben’s coronation when Greta and the VKs had chosen good and Maleficent had been defeated. The air was electric and happy and everyone was singing and laughing and dancing, and Evie had leaned in and kissed Greta just as the fireworks were starting to go off. It was sweet and fairly chaste, but it was also filled with genuine feelings, which was all either girl needed to consider it perfect.

What kind of posters they had in their room as a kid: A few of some rock and punk bands she liked (and I really do mean a few, since there aren’t that many in Auradon), and one tourism poster for Snow White’s kingdom that her cousin Hector (Happy’s son) got her as a joke.

If they have a lucky object (and what it is): She doesn’t have one.

Their saddest injury: Greta is at Jane’s birthday party waiting for the VKs when Audrey shows up to put everyone to sleep, and when Greta tries to fight her off she’s burned by a blast from Maleficent’s sceptre that also sends her tumbling into the enchanted lake (although, on the bright side, this does keep her from falling asleep like everyone else except for Jane, and the lake water even partially heals the burns instantly).

Number 3

Thanks a bunch for this, Greta!! <3

So, number three on my Spotify Wrapped was “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” by Green Day, and I think it most reminds me of Greta Dwarf! Not really because of the lyrics themselves, but because Greta really likes that kind of music, punk and rock and grunge, and I think she would adore Green Day if they or a sort of equivalent to them existed in Auradon.

send me a number 1-100 and I’ll tell you the song it corresponds with on my top 100 spotify wrapped playlist, and the oc/ship it reminds me of!!
