Darabella but make it reverse batb I always thought Daring’s beast arc was a little contrived because he didn’t need to learn to be selfless, he needed to learn that self worth wasn’t contingent on having a destiny, but what if Rosa helped Daring overcome his identity crisis in between specials and Epic Winter was Beast!Rosa learning self care instead, because something something you need to take care of yourself in order to properly help others. Also beast Rosa adorably deadly
yeah i see that! daring really wasn’t that bad before epic winter and he did help people. so he didn’t really need a redemption arc, more like some clarification on who he was
beast rosabella makes way more sense to me than beast daring. (although i love beast daring a lot pls don’t get me wrong) but beast rosabella just feels right. like, she’s been known to be loud and be very passionate when it comes to certain things, and i just think she’d be so much better at beast than beauty.
daring on the other hand, is a 100% certified pretty boy so the fact that he’s not beauty in canon is a crime.
I have this headcanon that Daring and Briar are that one purely platonic duo where they bond over being too pretty for this world. They’ll never admit it or say it out loud cause they know its rude but every now and then they’ll go to a coffee shop together and silently judge people together. Like they’ll be eyeing someone’s outfit and silently eye each other as if to say “we’re in agreement when I say that skirt and pair boots are just not it together right?” “Oh yeah absolutely!” They 100% help each other take pictures for each other’s instagram too.
Also, you CANNOT convince me that they dont bond over being the oldest sibling. Look, it seem like siblings in the world of ever after are pretty rare in general (let alone having more than one sibling), so you know damn well that when someone brings up the topic of siblings and almost everyone in the room is like “can’t relate”, the two will simultaneously be like “lol I can” and then just go off about how as the oldest sibling, its easy to love your younger sibling and yet find them the most annoying person in the world at the same time.
And to top it off I absolutely love the idea that after the events of Epic winter, Briar started giving Daring advice on how to inpress Rosabella. Like the day before Daring went to meet Rosabella’s parents, he was relentlessly freaking out. Being Rosabella’s cousin, Briar was just there like “Dude…Relax! Everyone in my family is super chill. Look, I know your parents expect alot from you, but My Aunt and Uncle are not like that. They dont care who Rosabella is dating so as long as they’re a good person. You dont have to try so hard to impress them….If anything they’re gonna find it awkward when they catch you trying too hard to impress them”.
I feel like Apple and Daring were rlly close when they were little. They were kinda forced to be around each other bcuz of their parents, but I think it turned into a genuine friendship. However as they got older and the pressure to literally be in love with each other increased, they drifted apart. Especially bcuz apple is a lesbian and I hc daring as aroace, so the immense pressure put on them to love someone who they literally could not love romantically rlly hindered their relationship and they felt awkward around each other, only hanging out for appearances rlly.
do yall want more sketches of Daring because these are some roughs I have for a different thronecoming outfit and a dragon games outfit
The love triangle in Wicked isn’t Fiyero choosing Elphaba or Glinda. It’s ELPHABA choosing Fiyero or Glinda
Elphaba’s decision to be selfish instead of selfless and going with Fiyero is a direct callback to Glinda’s selfish decision in Defying Gravity
Glinda chose to stay behind and get everything she’s wanted, putting herself over her friend
And then Elphaba does the same, choosing to be with Fiyero, putting herself over her friend.
Breakdown has been gone for no less than a week when Ratchet receives a heavily encrypted message.
At first he thinks it’s nothing and it’s only years of combat through his technology and being a medic that he even spots that something is different about it.
The one difference in the file is a punctuation at the end, a single full stop that is something humans do instead of the cybertronian symbol.
He opens the file, works his way through it for over two earth hours, and when he’s finally done everyone has gone to have their shutdown and the humans are at home safe and sound.
Part of him thinks it could be a trap sent my Soundwave but there’s something in his spark that’s telling him to trust it. He’s been a doctor for years, he’s learnt that trusting your instinct is the most important part of the job. It’s a combination of prior knowledge, subconscious awareness and thinking and the thing humans call a ‘gut feeling’.
Ratchet opens the last link and finds a message that reads,
“Hello Doctor.
I am aware that we are not friends and work for opposing forces, but I am desperate. I am not sending this because I have had a change of spark or something dramatic like that, though I can’t say I have never thought of that.
No, this is far more important than any sides of a war or Megatrons foolish little game.
I am with sparkling.”
Ratchet stalls for a moment at that sentence before stealing his nerves and continuing.
“I found out around two deca-cycles ago and was afraid to tell the Sire, and now he is gone.
If Megatron finds out about this, both that I am with sparkling and that I can conceive, I will never be safe. He hasn’t been too focused on it, but we all know he has put plans in place should he have the chance to have an heir.
I’m not stupid enough to think he won’t find out, and I’m not too prideful to put my ego and desire to been correct over the life of my sparkling.
So I am asking you as both a medical professional and a close friend of Optimus for help.
I don’t need you to let me join you or live among you, but please help me get out.
I am begging you to help me make sure my sparkling doesn’t end up like Shockwave or Megatron or, Primus forbid, Starscream. I want my to have the chance to choice who it wants to be, and I know that it’s Sire would have wanted for us all to be with you Autobots.
But I have accepted this too late.
Turn me away if you wish, but please help my sparkling.
I don’t have much time and I do not want to terminate it, it’s all I have left of Breakdown.
Yours truely,
Knock-Out.”
Ratchet actually had to sit down once he’s finished reading, serve pressed to his chaises in both shock and heavy understanding. He helped many with their sparklings during the war and knew well the grief of it, even if it was never something he went through.
He sits there for a long time, considering every thing he knows, before he stands again and sends a message back with identical encryption.
“Knock-Out.
I am sorry for what you are going through, both your loss and your situation.
Whether my team wants you here or not I will find a safe place for you, this I promise you on the All Spark. I am sure Optimus will understand but we must act quickly, so listen to my instructions and I will be able to keep your family safe.”
Ratchet lays out the plan quickly and with no room for miscommunication, even going so far as to send a ground bridge for the Mech at a certain point during the next cycle.
He can deal with the teams reactions once’s he’s got Knock-Out safely out of his enemies hands.
not wanting to be outdone by the benders in the gang, sokka invents the flamethrower, the supersoaker, the leaf blower, and the concept of throwing rocks at people
is this anything p. 3
As a joke you had always said "I dedicate this to Hades" as you threw away food scraps from your cooking and cleaning your plates. When you die you find yourself in front of Charon's boat with Hades sitting in it, seemingly very excited to see his most devoted follower in recent times.
hey pals, i actually REALLY don't like the dragon games lineup
like... this is just so random. it doesn't fit. i don't like this. if ever after high didn't solely exist to market dolls, these are the students that i can see playing in the dragon games. but first, i wanna start with an explanation of why i'm removing who i'm removing from the lineup
the wonderlandians: i'm gonna be so fr, if scott morrison came to my hs and was like "yo guys i'm starting a basketball team" i am NOT joining that shit. and bro wasn't even incarcerated for poisoning the other country i have citizenship in OR idk stealing some other lady's job. he's just a prime minister that i don't really like. and i'm not a refugee. the wonderlandians on the other hand... yikes. they would NOT have played dragonball with the evil queen
the o'hair twins: now first of all, holly has expressed nothing but wanting to follow her destiny, which very much includes damselling and distressing. plus that hair is a fire hazard ;-; as for poppy, when i first watched dragon games i deadass thought that the twins ONLY got armour because they were just modelling what everyone else would get, and they wouldn't take part. especially because i think she'd be more concerned with maintaining the integrity of the armour and doing routine checks just making sure that a piece of equipment wouldn't become faulty and responsible for one of her friends or classmates getting injured
melody piper: what do you MEAN that this girl isn't emceeing the event?? she was born for that
who would actually play:
raven queen, for the exact reasons in the show
apple white, but only because the evil queen blackmails her
now, an argument could be made against darling charming, since she'd been working so hard before this point to maintain the whole "damsel in distress" thing she had going on since her parents were legacy book-thumping royals, however i think she would've been able to make the case to them "well daring is gonna marry apple one day so i think it's good for me to start getting along with snow white now since she's his future mother in law", plus everyone practically worships snow white
daring charming. bro has a DRAGON RIDING LICENSE. yet he wasn't on the field lmao
cerise hood. girlie is canonically a jock. she would live for dragon games. all she'd need to do is pin her hood to her hairline and she'd be fine
briar beauty because she's literally an adrenaline junkie. it's honestly more surprising that she WASN'T the first one to sign up. like make it make sense
i can see jillian beanstalk also joining since she's got that big ol sense of adventure
now, last spot is a bit of a tossup. i could probably see hopper croakington joining just to try to impress briar, or sparrow because it's "rock 'n roll". i'm leaning towards hopper slightly more since sparrow's whole thing is "i look out for the number one: me" or whatever and he's probably more afraid of dying than like. looking cool. especially because i actually don't think he does any hero classes or anything (just going off memory)
Arthur: He tossed a few drinks together, poured it out, and made you drink it? How was it?
Albert: Disgusting.
Bartender: That’s not what you said.
Albert: No, because you were there.
Bartender: Well, I’m here now.
Albert: *gesturing to Arthur* But I’m next to my big man.
