I saw Meet The Robinson's when it first came out in the cinema in *checks Google* 2007?? Wow I feel old.

Clearly it made no impression of me because I forgot nearly everything about it.

Well, clearly child me was too dumb to understand what an absolute masterpiece this movie was. Oh my god.

Bowler Hat Guy: Let's see if this rings a bell. Father of the Future? Inventor Extrordinare? Keep Moving Forward?

Lewis:

Like father, like son.

I feel like we talk a lot about how similar Wilbur is to his mom, which makes sense given that at first glance it looks as if mother nature just went "copy, paste and genderbend" and called it a day, but I love the fact that there's also a bunch of little moments in the movie that show that Wilbur is very much his father's son too.

"Keep smiling through Just like you always do 'Til the blue skies chase those dark clouds far away

So will you please say "Hello" to the folks that I know Tell them I won't be long They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go I was singing this song"

-Vera Lynn

Ever since rediscovering the movie last year, I can't help but think about these two every time I hear this song, specially since 2024, 17 years after the events of the movie, is when they would finally reunite, albeit, in a different way.

Anyhow, Happy 17th Anniversary to Meet the Robinsons!

Meet the Robinsons things I think about way too often.

I love this movie so much and have been fixating on it for like a year now, so here are some unsolicited thoughts of mine about it.

-How Lewis was so affected by the countless rejections from potential families that, never, in twelve years, did he ever think that there was a possibility that his birth mother might have wanted him until Mildred brought it up.

-How Bud and Lucille got to spend one more day with their son as a child.

-How guilty and hurt Franny must have felt after making Lewis the offer to adopt him and then taking it back right after it was revealed to her who he really was, knowing just how much her husband wished to hear that a family wanted him after being turned down so many times as a child, and having to take that hope away seconds after, making her husband's younger self feel rejected once again.

-How Lewis looks at young Franny when they meet at the science fair.

-How Lewis built the memory scanner to try and find out what his mother looked like, and when it finally works, we see Lucille.

-How Cornelius most likely had to wait 17 whole years to see his best friend again.

One of the many reasons as to why I love Franny from Meet the Robinsons so much is because of how she is a perfect representation of the idea of becoming the kind of person you wish you had in your own life.

I feel it is pretty safe to assume that Franny didn't have many friends growing up, specially because of how she acts when Lewis meets her back in his own time towards the end of the movie.

She seems more than used to people not believing in her ideas and is quick to assume that Lewis will think she is crazy like most people do, so it is very likely the other kids at school either avoid her or make fun of her.

And Future Franny giving Lewis that one 'little tip for the future' before he leaves to go back to his own time kind of reaffirms this in a way.

I've seen a lot of people assume that Franny telling Lewis that ‘she's always right’ is just a 'happy wife, happy life' joke but I don't think that's the case. I think that what Franny meant to do with that piece of advice was to tell Lewis to have faith in her, to take her ideas seriously even if they don't make much sense in the moment and to never disregard them even if they turn out to be mistaken because there could be something to be learned from them.

She remembers how much that validation of her ideas from someone else meant to her back then, after being made fun of and called crazy by everyone else for so long. To Franny, Lewis was probably one of the first people, if not the first, to actually believe in her, which we of course know is because he KNOWS for for a fact that she can indeed make her dream of teaching frogs music a reality, he's seen it after all.

And so, Future Franny being such a warm and welcoming person, who always makes it a point to make sure everyone feels safe, loved, and like they belong every time we see her on screen, is all the more meaningful because she knows both how much it hurts to be cast aside and be made fun of for simply being one's self, and how much it can mean to have somebody else accept and believe in you you, so she decided to become that somebody for others. And that kind and loving person that she ended up becoming...

Unknowingly helped the boy who would end up meeting her younger self at that science fair believe in himself and his future, and soon enough, he would do the same for her.

TL;DR: Everybody, be like Franny, be the kind, supportive person you wish you’d had in your own life.

Also, originally this started out as a reply to @xskywalker21 's post about Franny lore but it got so long it kind of became it's own post. So shout out to her for constantly reminding me how much I love Franny.

A Bard's Blessing, chapter 3

Zelda was gone for three weeks visiting the four corners of Hyrule, finding the pilots for the Divine Beasts.   

Mido had tried his damnedest to go with her, pleading his case with Impa on multiple occasions, but she shut him down each time, claiming such a pilgrimage was too difficult for a scribe just finished with schooling.

Js posted the prologue of my new sofia the first fic. i'm going to regret posting it, i know, but it's okay. rest assured, the only thing that will make me discontinue a fic is death.

take me to the lakes (where all the poets went to die), Sofia the First, prologue

“Princess Sofia of Enchancia, will you do the honor of becoming the first human Protector of the Mystic Isles and EverRealm alike?”

“I will.”

“Will you protect this land and yours with all your strength?”

“I will.”

“Wonderful."

A re-write of season 4 of Sofia the First, now with much more angst, romance, and violence. Aka StF kid got older but not really.
