Minishot for DonPete!
It's an ordinary evening at the House of Mouse.
The whole team was standing at the reception desk, on their long-awaited half-hour break. Well... More precisely, almost the whole team.
— Hey, what's the big idea?! — A familiar sullen and irritated quacking voice rang out.
Tired, Mickey perked up almost instantly and hurried to his friend.
— Donald, I'm so happy to see you! — Mouse reached out his arms to Donald to hug him, but stopped. Slowly, his eyes widened in shock.
Donald looked at his friends irritably with his hands on his hips, like an angry mom. But it wasn't his friend's angry expression that confused Mickey, not even his grove shirt, but... Hair?
— I hope you didn't call me back from vacation because you missed me. — Donald grumbled and walked closer to the group, crossing his arms over his chest. Noticing the strange looks of his friends, he lifted one, puzzled and indignant. — What?
— Squeak! — Mickey shuddered and swallowed quickly, coming to his senses. — Oh, nothing, it's just... — He started gesticulating strangely, trying to find the words so as not to offend Donald.
— Do you have hair? — ... But Goofy beat him to it..
Donald's eyes widened at the question, but then he frowned, crossing his arms over his chest.
— Of course I am! — He growled irritably, looking sternly at Goofy. — Did you think I was bald?
— Yes, actually! — Goofy nodded confidently while Daisy facepalmed.
Minnie took a deep breath to stifle her laughter and put her hand on the shoulder of the boiling duck.
— Calm down, Donny, Goofy just isn't used to what you have... Hairstyle. — She smiled reassuringly and a little awkwardly. — We all, actually...
Donald slowly calmed down from his girl friend's touch and her words and nodded.
— That's so..
— By the way, what's the point? — Daisy suddenly asked. She leaned forward, crossing her arms and leaning on the counter, one eyebrow raised in interest. — I mean, it's just impossible to grow hair that long in three days.
— Oh, yeah. — Donald nodded, twirling a lock of his curly and blond hair around his finger. — I asked Gyro to buy me shampoo, and he inadvertently gave me his invention, a shampoo for growing hair. And in the end, it worked.
All the friends nodded, accepting the explanation, knowing all too well that it was true.
— Can I touch your hair? They look so soft! — Minnie asked.
— Why, of course. — Donald shrugged his shoulders and almost immediately the mouse grabbed the duck's hair.. In a good way, she started feeling and stroking them.
Daisy rested her chin on her palm, watching the tenderness of her friend and ex and chuckled.
— You know.. I thought your hair would be straight, not curly. — She got a puzzled look from Donald with her comment.
Donald snorted and rolled his eyes at Daisy's comment and slapped Mickey's hand, forbidding him to touch his hair.
— You've seen my mom, Daisy, on the contrary, you should expect my hair to be curly. — He crossed his arms over his chest, looking critically at his ex.
Their bickering would have continued, but they were interrupted by new acquaintances..
— Well, well, well!~ — With a whist and a teasing greeting, none other than everyone's favorite (gay) Mortimer entered the club's doors! — I received a message about my dear friends' little problems and couldn't help but come.. And see! — he burst into laughter, which sounded comical because of his sibilance.
Pete came in behind him and grinned dirty, looking at the five friends. However, his smile faded when he noticed Donald. His ears drooped slightly, and his eyes stared at the duck, absorbing every detail without taking their eyes off for a second.
His target shifted uncomfortably and turned around, looking at the cat with a puzzled expression.
— What? — Don grunted rudely, feeling himself... a little embarrassed under Pete's gaze.
— You pretty. — Pete said bluntly, without hesitation and without taking his eyes off the duck, unconsciously attracting the attention of the others.
Donald was startled to hear these words. His eyes widened in surprise as a bright blush began to fill his cheeks.
— You... — Duck swallowed and looked down at the floor, tugging at the end of a lock of his hair. — Really think so?..
Pete nodded confidently. All this time, he did not take his eyes off the former sailor, practically devouring him with his eyes.
— Yeah.. Yes. — He nodded several times, confirming his words. — You like... The most beautiful mermaid what can be live...
Donald's eyes widened again upon hearing these words. He raised his head to meet Pete's gaze.
— Yeah? — He asked uncertainly, feeling his face start to burn brighter. After receiving another nod, Duck smiled gently and giggled. — Why, thank you... — He rubbed his neck in embarrassment, keeping eye contact with the big cat. — It's... The nicest thing so... You ever told me...
Donald coughed into his fist and still looked away.
— So... Anyway.. — He closed his eyes and opened them again, looking at Pete again, who continued to stare at the duck as if he was something beautiful — Thank you. I'm serious.
A slow smile began to grow on Pete's lips. Uncharacteristic of him.. gentle. As well as the soft look in his eyes.
— I just told the truth, don't take it too personally. — he shrugged casually, grinning with amusement. — Just warn me next time, or the shock will make me too cute. I need to keep my reputation. — A hoarse laugh came from the cat's throat as he pointed a finger pistol at Don.
The duck himself giggled and rolled his eyes. His usual cocky and confident expression appeared on his face. However, he didn't have time to reply..
— No! — Mickey's loud and hysterical scream rang out abruptly. Mouse quickly grabbed Donald and dragged him into the depths of the club at arm's length. — Nah-ah!
Pete remained standing while his mind slowly caught up with the unexpected scenario twist.
The remaining friends were also perplexed, but they quickly followed the suddenly flashing mouse anyway, leaving Mortimer and Pete alone with each other.
— Well.. — Mortimer mumbled, giving up trying to understand his opponent's sudden outburst. He crossed his arms over his chest, glaring at Pete, raising one eyebrow. — I didn't know that you and Donald could not try to break each other up for more than... five minutes.
Pete chuckled, taking out another cigarette and lighting it.
— Well, you know what they say? My best friend is my sworn enemy. — he took a step back, ceasing to be a support for the rat, which caused it to fall to the floor with a squeak.
i just can't believe that oda fucking create sanji, a stereotypical ladies man who simps to an embarrassing degree for women while having his hackles comically raised around everyone he perceives as a man - and most notably butting heads with the more obvious ~manly man~ of the crew. haha, classic anime running gag, the kind that gets obnoxious at times but still makes you laugh.
AND THEN, like a billion chapters later, motherfucker steeples his fingers and goes "soooooooo... what makes a person Like That?"
and the answer is that he grew up in fucking Toxic Masculinity, The Kingdom. the answer is that he was always Different, in a way other guys instinctively perceived as weak, and that made him the target of visceral scorn and violence. the answer is that he was sensitive, sweet, caring, nurturing - feminine-coded traits which are only valued by patriarchy insofar that they're performed by women in service of men. the answer is that in a kingdom comprised almost entirely by violent men, the only ones who were ever kind to him, the only safety he ever had, were a girl and a woman.
so cooking is for women and servants, it makes you less of a man. only women will ever really value you for your passions and dreams. women are also actively hurt by the way the world works, they are unsafe unless they comply with men's violence, and you have to protect them.
(men will always know what you are, and they will hurt you if you let them.)
and even after he leaves... at baratie he is cherished and respected, but even that is an extremely masculine environment. we don't talk about our feelings, we don't let our guard down, the only love is tough love. when he tries to express his artistry and express himself through his cooking, rather than just filling orders and making money, he gets mocked.
so here is a man who will not raise a hand to a woman, because he rejects the masculinity he was raised with and refuses to become yet another man subjecting women to violence. he is desperate for women's attention and affection because it's SAFE, it's the only kind he can trust. other men are potential threats and must be treated as such. he must at all times be snarky, tough, Not Feminine, because to be perceived otherwise is to be powerless, to be hurt.
like y'all. the queer coding of it all? the overtly feminist themes? the active rejection of toxic masculinity and the way it's shown to be directly tied to imperialism? what the fuck.
My little headcanons We still need to do it for Paps ig
MURDER MOST UNLADYLIKE!!!
I love these two
BDJJDKGRSJKBJF THAT IS AN AMAZING MUSIC ANALYSIS OMG?? You described Fight or Flight so well 🙏 also it happens to be winning in the polls lmaoo so people are agreeing
All the songs in the poll fit sskk (for different reasons at different points in their relationship) and I just wondered which one sskk shippers thought was the most accurate one<33
Thank you for your thoughts on the songs ⊂(´･◡･⊂ )∘˚˳°, unhinged sskk shippers are the best ones ✨
Hmm… Can that be Crosshair standing next to Hunter? Sure looks like him. 👀
Nesta is the knife sibling.
and as the non-knife sibling of my own family I must fear her for it
I would like to add my contribution with Romano: Tailor
It's kind of funny, because in general human AUs I have a pretty good idea of what most of the Germanics would likely work with.
Prussia & Germany: Car mechanics. (To absolutely no one's surprise). 😂 xD Austria: Strict private music teacher (perhaps for adults? Not sure he'd have the patience for young children messing around). Switzerland: Ranger/forest guard. Also a licensed hunter. (Mainly does protective hunting where's there's no real other choice). Liechtenstein: Tailor/Sewer, and owning her own business.
Norway: Crazy rich Stock Market Master, (but also has an education in Economy Lawyer). Denmark: Electrician. Holy smokes it fits him so well. 😂 xD Sweden: Carpenter, who also dabbles into sewing, glass-blowing, house construction/building and different smithings as hobbies. Ice/Lad/Kugel/Sea: Still in school, but give them time. 😂 xD
Bonus: Hungary: Some kind of lawyer, though not sure what kind. Don't think she'd be the same kind of lawyer as Norway though. Finland: Plumber & licensed hunter. Former military. Is considering switching/educating himself to a forest ranger/nature guide instead. England: Struggling. 😂 Okay, no, I think his dream job would be to become a librarian, but he's currently enjoying his job as one of Liechtenstein's tailors.
.
And then I go look at the rest and be like... "Uh... Would it be too stereotypical if I made Japan a mangaka or working with something related to IT?" , because I don't have a clear idea what everyone else would be working with yet. 😂 xD
I'm so going to redraw this at some point but I have to share the old one- Post Reboot Warner Activities
Wednesday: *removes hand from Tyler's hair to go do something else*
Tyler: ...oh, ok
Hyde: Mate is…evil? Mate is unyielding? Mate is incapable of love? I am running away!!! I am packing my little rucksack and going out to explore the forest as a lone vagabond! I can no longer thrive in this household!!
I cannot believe I have to live in a world where people deny that Wednesday and Tyler aren’t the perfect ship for this day and age.
Fast Burn Strangers to Lovers to Slow Burn Enemies to Lovers
Equal and mutual respect
“I should kill you” “Do it then” “….” “You can’t? Can you?”
Monster x Goth Girl
Sarcastic Banter that doesn’t put the other down.
Just enough toxicity.
Did I mention the respect thing?
Mutually sticking the other in chains
Being real ENEMIES
The “I’m supposed to kill you but I fell for you” energy
“Do I want to kill you or kiss you?”
The genuinely queer energy they hold both being the outcasts of outcasts.
A couple of teenage tearaways
Being a m/f pairing for the girls, gays and theys.
THE MUTUAL RESPECT AND UNDERSTANDING AND NEITHER ONE UNDERESTIMATING THE OTHER EVER
Just… I love them okay???
She's gonna be a tough girl to win back, Tyler.
Voldemort: *enjoying his time shaming Bellatrix and Narcissa that Nymphadora maried Remus*
Narcissa & Draco: *had the time of their lives in that wedding*
Theory
Lucifer from Christianity and Apollo from Greek mythology are the same person
I wanna see more people talk about it.
I am maybe Jewish, but I'm currently obsessed with the character of Lucifer in the Christianity or as they are known in Judaism, Samael, and sometimes also known as Satan.
He's so similar to Apollo from Greek mythology. Greek mythology was my obsession before I took an interest in Jewish borderline Christian mythology. (Specially the concepts of heaven and hell, more specifically angels and more specifically hyperfixiate on Lucifer/Samael/Satan and how their character is perceived in cultures).
Apollo and Lucifer are the same person. I saw some references of Lucifer to Venus but I never saw about someone talk about their similarity to Apollo.
- living in the kingdom of celestial beings like them that is high in the sky.
- a very strong light relation- Apollo the god of light and sun between other things, he has a very strong relation to everything related to light.
Lucifer the light bringer, even Lucifer former name, Samael, have a meaning related to light in Hebrew. סמאל/סמאאל comes from the Hebrew word סמא that has a light related meaning (a very strong light), and the word אל (el) that means god (Like in Gabriel, Michael, Ezrael, and etc). Or in other words, the light of God.
- The one who brings the light (Lucifer the light bringer, Apollo in his chariot)
- The young child of the big mighty god that tried to overthrown their dad the big old dad and started a rebellion. Apollo tried twice to take over Zeus revenge his dad. And Lucifer also started a rebellion against God to revenge and overthrown him. And as their punishment their dad casts them down to earth from the kingdom in the sky.
- related concepts of beauty and appearance related to light. Apollo is the model of male beauty in ancient Greece. Both men and women adores him. He's described as golden because of his relation to sun and light. Lucifer is the prettiest among the angels, he had golden hair and white wings, giving him a very golden and maybe even pure appearance.
- related concepts of passions and enjoyment. Apollo is more a character of revelry lifestyle (not to confuse with Dionysus that also have a relation to this) and the arts professions, encourage people to become more free. Lucifer also encouraging people to follow their pleasures, to sin, and party and become more free. Lucifer is just want to free people
Basically they both just tell you to enjoy and do what you love and want.
Again, young beautiful rebel child of the big mighty God in a kingdom in the sky with a strong relation and appearance related to light started a rebellion, their dad casts them to earth for their "sins", the light bringer, encourage people to do what they want and follow their passions.
Maybe it's a coincidence, I don't know (it's not)
Anyway what's your opinion? Can you find more characters in other mythologies that are similar and also in this pattern? I would like to know
