The Perfect Girl

Summary: Somewhere along the line the villain won and the hero lost. Now your life is nothing more than a cautionary tale.

Part #2 of Imposter Syndrome but can be read as a stand-alone. Part #3 The Spider's web

Warnings: Dollification, yandere themes but like more than usual, abuse, violence, horrible Spanish, NO NSFW but the reader and Miles are 18+. Friends to enemies to one sided lovers. This plays out as a cautionary tale.

Author's note: Can you tell I'm bad at writing Intimacy??😂🤣

You squirm uncomfortably on Miles's lap. Arms awkwardly thrown around his neck as you try to hide your face in his chest. Miles sits proudly, face void of emotions and voice overflowing with authority. He's barking orders to his underlings. For what you're not sure, you've long since stopped listening in on his conversations, your inability to do anything coupled with the innocent lives you know would be destroyed was enough to keep you awake at night. And consciousness was the last thing you wanted these days.

It's been six weeks.

Six weeks since the Prowler defeated New York's last beacon of hope. Six weeks since he'd been welcomed into the Sinister Six as their newest member. They're shining star.

Six weeks since he stole you away from everything you knew,

everything you loved.

You hear the padding of feet and the loud thump of the door. You're alone with him again. So the nightmare begins anew. You're reluctant to lift your head, to face your capturer. You hate him, you hate him, you hate him. It's funny how once, back when you'd still wore your beloved silk mask, you had used to count the minutes until your midnight rendezvous.

Miles's fingers reach towards you, tilting your chin up. His smile is razor sharp, deformed as if he can't quite remember how to smile. "Muñequita" he mutters like a disjointed prayer as his fingers glide up your side. Drowning you in a sense of impending doom.

You stare into his eyes. Two voids that have seen every nightmare imaginable. Any saint, any sweet innocent boy whose been trapped inside the darkness for this long comes out as a monster. Stumbling through the night with knives instead of teeth and an appetite for destruction. Miles Morales may have been a human once, a long time ago. Before you met him, before the savior of New York met him. But now he's a monster, one who has long since buried any morals and dignity he may have once had.

Sometimes when the night rages on and you're caged between his arms and sentience. you wonder if maybe, just maybe you should go digging for any of the virtues that he's buried six feet deep. But when he laughs and tauntingly presses on a new bruise with his thumb, you conclude quickly that it's better to leave his good qualities dead. it's easier to hate him that way.

"How does it feel to sit in your arch nemesis's lap?"

He jabs as he pinches your cheek. You let out a soft cry of annoyance as you shift your gaze away from your tormentor.

Miles revels in your fall from grace. Adores pinching and probing you in front of his minions or the rest of his gang members. Loves taunting you after every failed escape attempt. You try to bite his finger, to make him feel a fraction of your pain. But before your teeth can graze his skin, he releases your cheek. He laughs, low and fragmentary. A haunting noise that reminds you that he barely counts as human anymore, just a heartless ghost masquerading as a real boy. "Trying to rebel again mi amor?".

You fight the urge to pick at the flesh of your face or bite your fingers until you reach the bone.

Miles's eyes narrow, annoyed at your lack of a response. He's growing bored, he always does when his pet refuses to play along. His gauntlet reaches for your neck. Squeezing as the claws bite into your flesh.

you should let him kill you, give him the final satisfaction of watching your blood blemish the skin-tight dress he's made you wear. Watch as the life leaves your eyes. "let's try this again mami. When I ask, how it feels your response should be.."

"I love you Miles" you mutter, all deadpan and defaced. "Not like that say it the way I taught you" he hisses, a threat, you note wearily.

"Te amo Miles"

"Bino"

Sometimes you think that he's foolish enough to believe your reprised lie. It almost helps him deceive himself into believing he still has a soul left.

He thinks he loves you.

You think he doesn't know what love quite is.

You use to be a hero, use to be revered and respected by all. You use to be someone, someone important. Laminating about all of this now will do you no good.

You're nothing more than a doll now. Painted and dressed the way Miles likes, posed forever perfectly on his lap. Flaunted and paraded as all prize trophies should be. You guess it makes sense. To the victor goes the spoils. You wonder if you would have done the same to him if you had emerged triumphant that night. Deep down, where logic doesn't reach, you know you would. At least you would have let him keep his dignity. You're not like him, you're not a villain...

But you're not a hero anymore either. What are you supposed to be anyway? When questions like this bubble into your withering mind. You force yourself to choke down the idea that you're still good, you have to be. You're not like him, like them. You're afraid that someday you'll look in the mirror and every ounce of your virtues will have evaporated. You promise yourself that that'll be the day you do something drastic. To yourself or Miles, you're not sure yet.

Miles's fingers trace the indents on your neck. Angry red puncture holes left by his steel claws. He buries his face in the crock of your neck. Licking the measly blood drops from the wounds before tenderly kissing his territory. "Stop it" you grumble trying to push at his chest. But he just growls in warning, ignoring your feeble attempts. "I got you a present, Mami" he whispers over your jugular. You flinch, as he detaches from your neck with a final kiss. He maneuvers you off his lap as he gets up and walks over to a closet on the other side of the room. Plucking out a necklace from one of the drawers.

Necklace is a generous term. Its neck tight and studded. With a silver chain hanging dead-center that speaks of horrors untold. You know what it implies, you know what he's trying to say, trying to prove. You never thought you'd miss the Prowler's iron glad punches to your stomach but you think this might just be worst. At least back then you'd been able to fight back. Reimburse every punch with a kick or stab of your own. Now you are helpless, frail. Broken glass perpetually embedded in soft cotton. Something wild, something tamed. Golden specks of a crown long since shattered tint your hair. All ghosts of who you once were.

"What do you say, muñequita," He says. In a tone that's sick, in a tone that's sweet. Like rotten nectar trickling down a destroyed paradise. Like boiling blood dripping from a broken heart. There's a click, as he fastens his present around your neck. An endless second before reality comes crashing in.

"Gracias Miles" You reply as you feel your last shard of freedom disintegrate.

You use to be something, someone. Carved from porcelain ideals and ivory hope. Divine ichor ran through your veins as you swung across New York's skyline. You had been chosen, but you hadn't been enough.

Now it feels like someone tore you apart. Ripped away your flesh, your bones, your thoughts, your soul. Stitched you up wrong with a rusted needle and a thread of ash. And all you could do was sit there and watch as your golden blood seeped through ruptured veins.

Miles grabs your shoulders. Pulling you close enough so the spikes of your necklace cut into his flesh. His lips bite yours teasingly before they finally merge into a dreadful kiss. He isn't the Prowler you remember, albeit you know that's wrong. He's not the Prowler you had fabricated when you'd thought that the two of you were both innocent souls driven to madness by this city. You use to think that Miles was beautiful, a moon-kissed face with stardust dripping from his eyes. Now you know the truth. He's nothing more than a nightmare, the embodiment of starless darkness and the terrors that lurk upon blackened city streets. He's not your friend. He never was. You were just so foolish and overwhelmed back then.

"You're mine, héroe." His voice is nothing short of a dagger laced with venom. Spreading apathetic poison from your heart to your lungs and leaking into your bloodstream. You see blood behind your eyes when your eyelids shut. Feel the apprehension pounding in the hollows of your bones.

You've long since hemmed every hole where your pride and glory use to bleed through. But it's so hard to keep divinity down when it's all you've ever known. This life isn't yours. This thing that Miles has forced you to be isn't you. There's still hope, you think. Heroes never lose hope. It's a lesson everyone learns, sooner or later.

Later that night Miles kisses you again, this time whispering how to him you are perfection personified. The dark circles under your eyes and bloody knuckles validate that. He traces circles on your arms whilst telling you about how the Sinister Six plan to expand their operations to the next city over. All this makes you wonder if he'd ever been a sweet little boy, tucked under his mother's arm, whilst his father kisses his cheek. Of if he's always been a merciless monster who wears his kills like honor badges.

You pray under your breath as he reminds you that you're no longer a hero. You wonder if you pray because you are human or if praying makes you human. There are still some fragments of hope bubbling inside you regardless of what he says.

Miles likes to remind you that you no longer have the power to save anyone. That the villains won and the heroes lost and that's the way this story ends.

You refuse to believe him.

Back in 2020, Disney released a series of Midnight Masquerade villain dolls, designed by the immensely talented @stevethompson-art. I liked Hades' outfit in particular, so I drew Idia wearing it in the style of real TWST cards.

MASQUERADE AT MIDNIGHT: REVAMP

Mads Mikkelsen

Ethan Hawke

Pedro Pascal

Oscar Isaac

Thinking of one more to add. My list so far:

Val Kilmer (who would have guessed)

Michael Douglas

Jon Hamm (for one of my besties)

Daniel Bruhl

Remember my Vampire AU? I want to redo it with a smaller cast. A new plotline. Sort of. It will be a reader insert who is off to help the vampires once again, but with a slightly different take.

Do I keep Jeremy Irons as the villain? Do we go down a different route? Suggestions are welcome.

♡♡♡

Please do tell me if you have any interest in this at all. Last time it was the support I got that made that story all the more special.

Please note that I will update the links to the original story soon 💕

hi here's some midnight thoughts lol abt like y'know those old tommyinnit coffee shop aus and milgram lol. Lmao even ( might delete)

ok so this is from memory but in the au we got

Es sassy but actually caring (and oblivious ) protagonist that works a 9-5 job cause the system screwed them over (es working milgram and deceiving themself that they don't care for anyone)

Best friend also living like that, screwed over by the system(but in a different way) (haruka) also secretly a vigilante

Idk a side villain/vigilante for Yuno. Her civilian disguise is viewed as pitiful due to a publicity thing and villain is seen as cold and unfeeling

Futa ALSO best friend, works at coffee shop, perhaps a Mikofuu subplot idk

Mu as the daughter of the coffee shop owner (Mahiru), adopted after her parents were killed in an incident involving heroes and villains. Secretly working with Haruka as a vigilante. Cares for es but nobody involved will admit it

Shidou as Scary Villain Guy that Es saves from a back alley lmao. He keeps coming into the coffee shop and Becoming Their Parent (tm). Es really wants to throw a coffee at his face but they eventually warm up to each other. Shidou feeds them food. That's one way to bond

Mahiru as coffee shop owner. Quite concerned with the way Es works themself but thinks it not her place to get involved in other's business (look how that turned out). Ex-hero, used to do it to bond with her bf but didn't hate the villains.

Kazui as part of the villains,,, idk masquerade themed costume lol

Amane is the mascot of the 'heros'. Do with that what you will.

John is part of the villain group (it's the smokers!!) and Mikoto is a hero but is overworked as shi lmao. John keeps accidentally giving him extra work lol

Kotoko is . Of course. Vigilante. Comes into the coffee shop to pester es and order an unholy amount of caffeine. Thinks that smoker/villain group is attacking the child that she's (mentally) adopted.

Yeah idk man I did this instead of sleeping I can't rn frfr. Tell me what you think feel free to use this au cause I'm prolly not gonna write it lol

Plotting out Disney's future: the Reinvention Era

I had so much fun reimagining the renaissance era to now, so I thought I'd imagine Disney's future era--but I'm skipping the sequels for now; I'll probably add them to my revival era post (if I keep using Tumblr through the years). This post is unique however, since this isn't me placing it within my reimagining AU; this post is based on the real-life success (or lack thereof) of the Revival era. I chose this name because I feel like Disney realizes they haven't been pushing themselves as much with their stories recently, and they want to appeal to a fanbase whose been adoring their classic stories while still wanting to explore new subjects. I'm not gonna do the whole "they were successful" or anything; this is mainly just ideas. Just to note: I imagine pretty much all of these as musicals, even if that's not super realistic given Disney's release style. And please forgive me if my ideas don't vibe with the culture I wanted them to represent.

Gigantic--Deciding to reinvest in fairy tales, Disney opts to revive "Gigantic," a take on "Jack and the Beanstalk." However, given that their last two musicals have explored Spanish themes ("Encanto" being Colombia and "Wish" being set in a Mediterranean country influenced by Spain), the idea that "Gigantic" is set in Spain is eventually abandoned. When Fawn Veerasuthorn is brought on as director, she suggests a Thai take on the story, with stories like "Sang Thong" and "The Twelve Sisters" as inspiration. The story follows a young man named Chaison (technically Chai Son) who ventures to the lands above where giants abide as a child, and is subsequently raised by them for several years. However, when some giants wish to conquer the land below (having been banished long ago), Chaison must play peacemaker in order to prevent a war. TO better showcase the culture, Disney opts for a 2D approach, though they haven't gotten entirely back into the groove of using it.

Sweet Heart--Disney decides to try again with the director/screenwriting team of Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, as well as having Stephen Schwartz make the music to give it a renaissance feel. In it, the protagonists are fraternal twins, young adults who's designs are said to have been influenced by concept art from "Frozen" and "Tangled," with open admissions of the film's vibe being inspired by Disney Channel's "Gravity Falls." It's possible the names of the leads would be changed, but let's pretend we keep them the same here. Hansel would be the younger twin, much more optimistic and a bit naive, while Gretel is more practical, reeling from the loss of their mother and resentful towards their stepmother for wanting them dead. The witch would be very much inspired by Lady Dimitrescu, the Other Mother, and Winifred Sanderson, making for a scheming, unhinged, and occasionally funny villain.

Midnight Masquerade--Given the success of a 12-member family of "Encanto," the fairy tale of "The Twelve Dancing Princesses" is the next focus for Disney, directed by John Musker and Ron Clements. Originally thought to be adapted as-is, focusing on 12 sisters and an older (40s) solider, but eventually a mixture of executive and audience feedback led to certain script changes. The number of sisters is instead reduced to 6 and the soldier is written as a young palace servant in his 20s. The story focuses on the young man who is asked by the king to find out where his daughters go every night, and follows them to a magical land fraught with beauty and danger (pretty much the main concept of the story, more or less). For better or worse, for some reason I imagine Disney going for a radio-pop sound like "Encanto" and "Wish"--though I hope it's executed better than the latter. And for another weird reason, I imagine this film being set in France--albeit in a similarly vague way as "Beauty and the Beast." Needless to say, the title of the film is tied into the Disney doll line of the same name.

(Not 100% sure if the art here is AI; just thought it was really pretty and wanted to use it as a visual aid)

Weaver--Originally planned with a male protagonist, Disney opted to make the protagonist female in order to cultivate a similar response to "Moana." Similar to how the latter film was influenced by Fiji, Samoa, and Tahiti, this film takes influence from Guam, Kiribati, and Palau. The focus is on a young woman who ventures on a great adventure to find the spider of creation (inspired by the Kiribatu god Nareau) after a malevolent force begins to unravel the world. As you can see, the plot itself was inspired by "Moana," with execs guiding it that way for profitability.

Khoeli--Inspired by "The Boy with a Moon on His Chest," the story revolves around a young man named Khoeli, who ventures to find his birth father, a king who supposedly abandoned him as a child. Though on his journey, he must contend with obstacles that his wicked stepmother has put in his path to prevent their reunion. I could imagine music by Donald Glover and Kendrick Lamar, though concern about it sounding too urban instead of traditional might be a concern (I'm imagining a high fantasy setting, but perhaps it could be somewhat modern, taking cues from "Black Panther"). While billed as a Southern African-influenced story, the music and visuals do have panafrican elements. I also like the idea that Khoeli's moons (a full moon on his chest, and crescents on both his shoulders) are the product of vitiligo; feels like it could be great rep for people if done well.

Crest--Based on the fairy tale of "Catskin," the story is about a young Native American woman with a cloak made of a giant Stellar's Jay. Given that Stellar's Jay is native to western North America, I imagine the tribe that our protagonist (who I'll call Honovi, a Hopi name that means "strong deer") is from comes from that area, but this is still set in a fantasy setting, allowing for more flexibility when designing the culture. The giant cloak was given to her by her mother, who promised that it would help her in times of emergency by transforming her into whatever form was necessary at the time. Usually this just turns her into a normal-sized Stellar's Jay, but eventually she ventures to a new land after dreaming of protecting a white fox. Though this seems to be Tokala, the son of the local chief, who is an albino man, who she falls in love after being appointed his spiritual protector.

Verdant--Inspired by "Gawain and the Green Knight," a young boy who fails to defeat the king of Spring is taken in and raised by him in order to learn the rules of chivalry, honesty and kindness, the things that make a true and honorable knight. It's a journey of self-discovery, of duality and different perceptions of morality and that there may not be such a true universal take on "right" and "wrong." The film draws on influences from Tomm Moore films, as well as having a bit of a classic Disney charm--gold to bronze era-charm, not renaissance charm (though that could also work).

(Art by FaQy on deviantart)

Primordia--Influenced by the superhero craze, this film would focus on a female superhero with super strength and durability (generic powers, but it's the character who makes the powers, not vice versa), influenced by bubbly superheroines such as She-Hulk and Rogue. In the futuristic city (imagine a cross between Republic City and Gotham), she defends the town from outside threats, but recently she's been the target of a superhuman scientist (influenced by Mister Sinister as well as anime characters such as Fu and Deku) who wants to find out the origins of her powers, whether she likes it or not. I'd imagine that since "Big Hero 6" is the only superhero film Disney has up to now, they'd want Don Hall and Chris WIlliams behind this.

(Note: I actually started to make a post for this film exclusively a little while ago with characters, song titles, and such, but I've since trashed it and wanted to mention it here).

Hotaru--Let's assume Hayao Miyazaki is still alive and he's able to reach a compromise between maintaining a Disney vibe while allowing him significant creative control of the film he's directing. I don't know his style well enough to say whether this would be in his wheelhouse, but I'm thinking of a story about a man who ventures who find his missing wife after she is taken by mysterious fox-masked beings, using the fireflies to guide him on his journey.

Kingdom Hearts--Kind of. The lore itself is too big for one film, but let's say Disney wanted a better anniversary film than "Wish" and was able to work out a deal with Square Enix, but only enough to use KH-original characters, not Final Fantasy characters. However, the directors decide that they don't want it to feel too gimmick-y, so they lean into original story elements with Disney motifs and references, with the story of Sora exploring different worlds being reinvented as the protagonist exploring his country in order to find his friends. While a bit of a downer, a plus side is that there's more focus on Anselm and his goals.

Lemme know what you think! I'll probably come back to edit the details later, but lemme ask: would you watch these Disney musicals?

Work Before Pleasure

Tagging @today-in-fic

What is it About? Sunday dinner takes a turn when Bill attempts to set Scully up with a date... and Mulder isn’t happy about it.

Read a Sample: Sunday dinners at her mother’s were a time to replenish hungry bellies and homesick hearts. After a midnight kiss that changed everything, Scully’s solo trips slowly involved Mulder by her side. Excuses traveled across the phone line from her mouth to her mother’s ear like they had last night.

Mulder and I are working through the weekend on a difficult case. Would you mind if he joined?

Margaret Scully never minded, which was how Mulder came to be sitting across the table, stuffed between Tara and her mother. His hazy green eyes contrasting against the sparkling white porcelain and normalcy of it all.

“Dana,” Bill chirped. “I have someone I want you to meet.”

She felt the twitch of her eyebrow. “Oh, yeah?”

“He is a Navy buddy of mine. Single. Good looking. Successful.”

And just like that, her worst nightmare unfurled over mashed potatoes and pot roast.

“Thanks for thinking of me, Bill, but I’m not interested right now.”

“No?” Bill questioned. “How come?”

The heat of Mulder’s gaze penetrated her skin. It would be so much easier if she’d told her family—or told anybody, really. But things with her and Mulder were never simple. Their relationship was a secret. Breaking Bureau policy had started the charade, but the fear of some maniacal villain using it against them kept it firmly in place. So, here they were, masquerading as platonic partners. Hiding their love from everyone just as they hid it from each other for over half a decade.

“I’m just not,” she responded finally.

“Well, it’s not like you’re seeing anybody. I think it would be good for you to expand your horizons.” Bill turned to Mulder, their eyes meeting in a horn-clattering display of masculinity. “It seems your work with Mulder has really killed any shot at a social life.”

Her mother elbowed Bill and warned him to knock it off. Matthew giggled. Gentle scolds from Tara followed.

“Well, you know what they say, Bill,” Mulder retorted between a sip of wine. “Work before pleasure.”

Bill held Mulder’s stare just long enough to trade quiet hostilities. Their mutual dislike of each other passed through the room unseen like a ghost. “Trent is in town,” Bill said, pivoting to her. “I already told him he could stop by for dessert. He will probably be here any minute now.” He pushed back from the table, his threat hanging heavy in the air.

Mulder’s eyes were still on hers, so dark and predatory that she, too, rose from the table and retreated to the bathroom on shaky legs.

A light knock on the door accompanied a soft “Scully, it’s me.”

No sooner had she let Mulder in than his lips were against hers. They stumbled backward until he had her pressed against the counter.

@lking-rp-hub asked: “When midnight comes… we’re going to go and kill the target since everyone will be distracted.” Ever focused on the task at hand. Honestly, the masquerade ball was, in his opinion, a little silly. It wasn't as if a mask could hide his smoke. And he wasn't the only one who's identity was given away by their quirks, either. Best just to get the job done and take part in as little of the party as possible.

(( @dutybound-haze context? What's that? XD ))

“Oh relax, darling. Why must you speak business so soon? The bloody party’s just begun, my fool.” All For One mused as he casually picked up a little sausage from one of the masked butlers as they went by. He grinned teasingly before picking up the little skewer and popping the snack into his mouth with a hum, his other arm casually wrapped around his servants own as they walked through the majestic ballroom together.

The ancient man could hear the orchestra from across the party, humming softly to the tune as they got closer to the main gathering. There were so many people but he hardly seemed to mind, even giving a wave here and curt bow there...all of course a ploy to look natural.

“Are you sure the Ambassador is even here...” The ivory haired villain mused as he lent closer to his plus one, putting on a smile for a woman who passed by who giggled at his charming smile her way only for him to drop it when she left. His red eyes searched the dance floor, his half mask hiding a partial side of his face as he scanned the room with a sensory quirk.

“We’ll need to get closer.”

That was very much code for: ‘It looks like we need to go dance~’

Judex (1963)

Halloween, or indeed any costume party, is among other things a measure of one’s character and moral fiber. Most folks are content to phone it in, whether with something from the local Spirit Halloween or what have you. But everyone has that one friend who is VERY into Halloween and puts A LOT of effort into their look. Bless them, because for every one of those, there are six generic hot girls who think putting on cat ears and making a dot on their nose and mascara whiskers counts as a fun costume. I deride Marie Verdier for her pathetic attempt at a heist disguise, but honestly she kills it through the rest of the film, turning a lewk whether she’s an evil nun or an evil mod suit gal pulling it off even better than the likes of Tilda Swinton could ever hope to do so. My gal has her cat eye on point whether she’s breaking into mansions, swindling ambulance drivers, or plummeting off of rooftops. That said, nothing is quite so striking as Judex’ entrance into the film. A man in a bird mask which outdoes anything anyone else at the pageant could hope to do—the masquerade is 90% boring pedestrian shit, 10% BIRB SQUAD RISE UP—enters, does dove-based magic tricks, and then slays the host with a gesture at the stroke of midnight. The obvious comparison to draw here (or one of the front-runners, at least) is to Batman. But here, Judex does everything the Adam West Batman series could do, but better. A more based socialist agenda: he kills an evil venture capitalist banker and then apparently fucking resurrects him once his daughter proves she has a conscience. A better persona and a more hilariously impractical commitment to the bit: make a really well-crafted mask for your big reveal, but then lean on… carrier pigeons for your instant alert signal. Could there not be some kind of Bird Signal in the sky? In a world where buggies need candles as headlights, I suppose that would be a tough ask. We also get more enjoyable campy villains in Marie and her cadre of ghouls, Marie slipping into the catsuit and exploiting every possible angle as she hustles her way to riches, paired off with incompetence on the part of Judex: he’s a genius and yet somehow still places faith in the bumbling detective Cocantin who would much rather be reading something. Pure rip-roaring fun through and through.

The film closes with an intertitle reference to the silent serial to which it is paying homage, acknowledging its source as something as a product of a darker time. But truly, this sort of entertainment is evergreen and always needed. This is a cousin of the likes of Adéla ještě nevečeřela and Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro, reaching back to a bygone era to realize that, yeah. Sometimes we just need unhinged nonsense where the bad guy is an unambiguous monster and a little magic and circumstance can get you a long way.

THE RULES

SIP

An intertitle appears onscreen.

Marie is a style icon.

Sci-fi shenanigans.

Cocantin is utterly useless, but at least he likes his stories.

Someone faints.

BIG DRINK

A clock starts chiming.

Someone gets conked over the head.

Someone is introduced.
