Abigail: Arthur, John is missing you need to go save him.
Dutch: Arthur, Micah is in prison and about to be hanged you need to go save him.
Trelawny: Arthur, Sean is being transported to be executed, we need to go save him.
Ms Grimshaw: Arthur, Tilly has been kidnapped we need to go save her.
Dutch: Hmm it would appear that Arthur has gone missing after a sketchy parley with my sworn enemy that we all agreed was an obvious trap.
Dutch:……
Camp:…….
Dutch: Eh, whatever. Im sure he’s fine.
do yall want more sketches of Daring because these are some roughs I have for a different thronecoming outfit and a dragon games outfit
I was asked this and I chuckled because in the scheme of things the only thing that looks the same is that they are in my style. XD
it's true hearts day in ever after high and everyone's scrambling to buy flowers but they're all sold out then someone remembers daring can grow flowers with the light from his teeth and they all scramble to find him but no one can and it's revealed he's at the wonderland grove with lizzie and (1) he's the one who bought out all the flowers and (2) he's spending the day growing more flowers for her at the grove. (lizzie gets enough flowers to fill the hearts castle vault ten times over)
Concept: My favourite flavour of Dark Jason Grace is when you play into that theme of him being The Lost Hero.
This idea that prior Jason was a great hero. He was known for his feats and his kindness. And the respect he had for any deity and demigod regardless of status or rank.
He bought glory to his camp, to his patron and his father and it should have made him beloved by them all.
But his father felt threatened by him. Because he overthrew his father who overthrew his father. And he was terrified that Jason would one day try to overthrow him.
Even though Jason had no intention of ever doing that it didn’t matter for those feelings only continued to grow.
I imagine the day everything changes is the one where Jason breaks the rules and stands up to his father. Similar to Jason’s canon “unwise” speech when Zeus was unfairly punishing Apollo.
But Zeus takes it even worse here and scolds his son and his insolence before all of Olympus. Some kind of speech about how these demigods need to know there place.
And how he shall be an example for them.
There’s a vote and while there are those who stand by Jason. Hestia’s saddened gaze, Hera’s angry tears, Hades silent head shake.
The rest, including many of his own half-siblings follow their father without giving Jason a second thought.
Something in Jason snaps. That everything he served, everything he ever did never made a difference. He had been trying to foster better connections, to aid his brethren.
And it had all been for nothing.
All he ever was to them was a tool that they deemed uncontrollable.
They don’t kill Jason because he’s much too powerful, much to useful to lose. He’s granted partial immortality like the hunters while Hephaestus creates chains that hand from his ankles and wrists.
To bind him to their service for however long as they require him.
Like a dog on a leash.
Jason’s imprisoned in Tartarus instead of any other prison. So that he’ll be forced to continue fighting and sharpen his skills. While he’s kept like a trophy for the day that his power will be required once again.
It’s like being in the Wolf House again. His powers are limited and he has no weapons but his own chains. And all the while down there Jason fights to survive he plans for his revenge.
They tell Camp Jupiter and Thalia that Jason died on a quest and his body unable to be recovered. She grieves him for years to come.
But because of Zeus’s speech and Artemis following him, Jason thinks Thalia knew and agreed with them.
The years go by and rumours spread of a beast from below driven mad with anger with the face of a man. Imprisoned for going against the gods and that all who try will meet his fate.
No one knows his name and simply call him The Lost Hero, a once great hero reduced to nothing because that’s all Jason has become.
And then the day comes where the prophecy of the seven comes to pass and Jason is bought to Olympus once again. He’s a mess and there’s a cold anger about him even though he’s weirdly nice to the assembled demigods.
The first thing Jason does is cross the room and kneel before not the king but his queen.
Hera who has always been so cold and cruel, weeps at the sight of him. Hugging him in her arms, mindful of the chains that hang behind him to give the illusion they’ve been cut.
Jason lets himself be held and he tells her not to waste any more tears on him. Before facing his father and it looks could kill the man would be dead.
He’ll play along with their quest but he’s got his own agenda. He’s not letting the world fall to Gaia nor is he going to let these demigods get hurt.
But he will be the storm that brings Olympus down with him.
Do the gale force soldiers witness Fiyero’s transformation? Or do they leave him tied up and come back for Torture part 2: For Bad in the morning/after a coffee break then panic because
a. someone’s obviously used the clothes of their mostly dead ex-captain to make a creepy scarecrow decoy, suggesting the real Fiyero has miraculously escaped in his underwear,
b. they believe they’ve forgotten where they put him, because there are so many other scarecrows (a frankly ridiculous amount!) already in that cornfield, Fiyero’s body blends right in and it takes all day to check them all and come up unnervingly empty. (Oops! All scarecrows!) Prompting the soldiers to check them all again and again “How could you forget?” “Why did you have to tie a sack over his very recognisable face?” “You told me to?!” “Stop gaslighting me!” Etc
c. free space
d. they did see the transformation and it terrified them so much they scarpered to the nearest pub and drank to forget
a.a. they assume Elphaba has taken their dead guy, wholesale, “What do you even do with a dead prince?” “Bury him I guess,” “Use his bones for evil spells,” “I would put the dead prince in an ornately crafted glass coffin in the woods, so that the Winkies and woodland Animals can pay their respects and gaze upon his beautiful face.” … “Except we beat his face up.” “Yeah we beat his face up.”
I’m suffering the thought equivalent of zoomies I’m so so sorry
Loolll Firstly I got a good chuckle out of Torture part 2: For Bad, so thank you for that!
Honestly I've always thought option D - that they did see his transformation for several reasons:
They're supposed to torture Fiyero "until he tells us where the witch went" and (despite the fact that they do know where Elphaba is by March of the Witch Hunters - I think she's beyond being subtle at that point, and she does have good defences) I just can't believe Fiyero would ever tell them, he'd die first. So I do not think they are done with the torturing when he's transformed.
You have to remember that these are Fiyero's men. Guards who have worked under Fiyero, probably considered him a friend, and all along he has been betraying them and working for the Witch. They are probably not the most pleasant people in the first place and they are angry. I don't think any of them are giving up for a coffee break until he's done what they want and is dead
I actually think she casts the spell pretty fast? Like wishing for his flesh not to be torn and to not be feeling pain when he's beaten, is going to be pretty redundant more than 10 minutes after Fiyero has been captured (like it's obviously long enough for there to be some possibility for him to be "already dead or bleeding" but there's also a chance of his survival)? I imagine she got to the nearest safe place and cast. And Elphaba doesn't even cast the spell for that long before giving up and falling into despair so yeah, I imagine the men see it
They would want the body. There's a lot of power displaying tortured Fiyero to Oz whether it be "look what the Witch did to our beloved Prince" or "look what happens to traitors" it sends a message to the Ozians. I can't imagine them going without it if they can help it (and the fact they do come back empty handed and presumably lie about what happened to Morrible, can't have impressed her much)
Why doesn't the scarecrow get caught later then? I imagine the guards still don't necessarily know he's turned into a scarecrow - I imagine they ran away the moment the freaky magic started happening (and again, lied about the success of their murder when questioned by their superiors). There's also a non zero chance that, when they were taking a stiff drink after it all, Elphaba all "no good deed will i do again" returned to the field, found no Fiyero and the guards drinking (she presumes in celebration) and just burnt them all to death.
Thanks for the question! It was fun to specuate!

I’m bored in psychology so here are some more daring/ramona/rosabella headcannons:
They are all super overprotective, if you insult one of them you insult all of them
Daring calls them rosie and mona and refers to them as ‘his girls’
Daring and ramona go to protests with rosabella to support her.
Rosabella and ramona also go to darings bookball games to cheer him and cerise on
Fiyero (about Boq): I call my boyfriend “Bambi”.
Fiyero: he thinks it’s because he’s cute with his brown eyes.
Fiyero: little does he know, I want someone to shoot his father with a rifle.
interpreting the wizard of oz through the lense of the backstories the characters are given in wicked does leave room for the possibility that the scarecrow, the tin man, and the cowardly lion are having some truly wild conversations behind dorothy's back during their little trip
He loves to be complimented, to be listened to. Sweet poisons for a willing Prince.
