Who were the other fairy tale characters as Personas for the v3 cast you were thinking of?

Also I distinctively remember that Kuripa and Miu did interact when Miu was made to have a super orgasm in front of Kuripa eating mac and cheese due to Anon bs magic. 😈

//So my original list was this:

Shuichi - Hansel (as in Hansel and Gretel)

Kaede - Alice (as in Alice in Wonderland)

Kaito - Puss in Boots

Maki - Blanchette (Aka Little Red Riding Hood)

Kokichi - Peter Pan

Keebo - Pinocchio

Miu - Goldilocks

Rantaro - Sinbad

Tsumugi - Bluebeard

Ryoma - Toad (as in Toad from the Wind in the Willows)

Kirumi - Cinderella

Tenko - Dorothy (from Wizard of Oz)

Himiko - Thumbelina

Angie - Rumpelstiltskin

Kiyo - Scheherazade

Gonta - Mowgli (from the Jungle Book)

//But I’ve made a few notable changes from this original list, though I retain my stance on a lot of it.

I changed my mind of Kaito’s and went from Puss in Boots to instead Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk. Reason being in quite a few iterations of the story, Jack is portrayed as a bold and adventurous spirit, especially in his decision to climb the beanstalk and break through the clouds, just like Kaito.

I did a bit of swapping, and I replaced Peter Pan for Kokichi with Rumpelstiltskin, who I originally gave to Angie, but it definitely fits Kokichi more. For Angie, I’m still not quite sure, but I’m thinking she could have Ursula, as in Ursula from the Little Mermaid. She’s also a manipulative and cunning villain who lends their powers and aid to the heroes for a price, but she never really lies to Ariel, just like how Angie never really lies to the other students, even though she takes complete control of them.

Kiyo getting Scheherazade was something I got a lot of back talk with, since a lot of people didn’t agree with it. I originally picked it because the Arabian Night’s felt right up Kiyo’s alley with how many stories he had to tell and how in depth a character he was, but I did somewhat agree these reasons were flimsy. I’ve changed it to Rattenfänger, as in der Rattenfänger von Hameln, also known as the Pied Piper of Hamelin. The reason for this is also pretty loose, but Kiyo’s fascination with folklore and rituals aligns with the mysterious and eerie nature of the Pied Piper.

Ryoma was really difficult, but I decided to change his Persona to Vincent, which is, APPARENTLY, the real name of the prince from Beauty and the Beast. Someone fact check me on that one, but the point is Ryoma’s tough exterior and tragic past parallel the Beast’s transformation and redemption. It’s easy to forget this, but Ryoma was once a spoiled and wild kid before his bout with the crime family turned his life to hell.

I’ve decided to keep Kirumi’s Persona as it is, but I’ve found that Snow White is a decent alternative.

Lastly, Tsumugi getting Bluebeard, like Kiyo, was also a very controversial choice that basically nobody agreed with. In fact, there were many who told me that just because she had blue hair and a list of evil deeds, doesn’t mean it’s a good choice. So I changed it to Grimhilde, Aka, the evil queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Ultimately, I think this one is better, since Tsumugi’s obsession with perfection and her dual nature align with the Evil Queen’s vanity and the fact that both execute their evil plans by transforming their looks to fool the heroes.

//For now, everybody else remains the same, but I do appreciate any more suggestions and/or feedback.

Journal Update #9 MAR - Hansel Mac Session

During each session I uploaded Instagram stories to create some buzz and mystery around the project which I still haven't officially announced yet. When the project is nearing completion I will post on both Instagram, Tumblr (my website) and Facebook officially announcing the project.

During my week back in London I also completed a session with rapper Hansel Mac. Hansel is an old mate of mine and he was open to talking about lyrical content I gave him some of the themes behind the tape and he created a sweet rap about the trials and tribulations of being a 20 something guy living and growing up in London. I have known Hansel since I was 18, we met through a mutual friend during a stint doing videography for a night that he went to in London. The session was really rewarding and again I learnt valuable lessons, specifically to do with speed, workflow, and quick vocal processing. Hansel came prepared to the session with a rap he’d written for the single The Judge (which I will release via Soundcloud and Spotify in April). This was great for the energy and speed of the session. In particular, his energy was great and he had nice words about the beats I’d sent to him. We had ‘The Judge’ done in four takes and honestly wasn't expecting to get much more done than the single, but once he was happy with the takes and it was arranged I started playing him more beats until we found something that caught his ear. (The mind map for The Judge pictured below)

A beat I had called Dragons Triangle caught his attention and he started reeling off a fast rap with a fairly dark tone, but it instantly fit the sinister feel of the beat. So, we decided to lay down vocals and arrange that. This one took a few more takes but was rewarding and I understood that he wanted the best performance and energy to translate on the record. I didn't have time to mix and master it for The Tape but will put it out at a later date as a single.

Areas to improve on would be there were a few times where maybe focus wandered and we started talking about music and artists that we liked introducing each other to new tracks. However this was also rewarding and helped to break the ice and create a relaxed atmosphere to the session. His positive energy and easy conversation was really helpful and we got along well as well which probably factored into to the chatting. 

Hansel actually texted me after the session to say how inspired he was by the collaboration which was really positive and he gave me some feedback which read: ‘as a producer you’re good at creating a positive and encouraging environment’ and he said that this was important for getting the best out of artists and that he was looking forward to making more music! This was good feedback to hear as it’s important when collaborating, “that everyone is encouraged to speak their minds” (Brown, 2019) and feel comfortable and encouraged, in my experience this is the best way to get positive results.

Collaborative processes can enrich not just art but our own human lives (Booth & Bacharach, 2016) it’s important to note that the session had a resoundingly positive affect on both of us and I think that contributed to the aesthetic of The Judge, I’m really proud of what we produced. Overall we got two tracks completely laid down and arranged, more than I thought would be achieved in a  session.

I also decided on the final artwork (below) for the Judge and sent it off to Distrokid to be the second single released off The Tape!

Update: The single got accepted on some Spotify playlists that I submitted to which was fantastic and Hansel was really happy about that. This was great promotion at this early stage.

[the-cat-and-the-birdie]

So I was watching Dylan B. And it dawned on me. Ansi is from the 80s. The 80s. She's from that generation where they came up with those weird food concoctions like throwing cheez whiz into cornbread. And yet she'd be there doing it too 😭.

Whenever the three of the 3 of them are hanging out at HQ or just vibing on Hobie's boat she'll bake something. And at first it starts off with your typical 80s treats like monkey bread or some blondies. But sometimes she'll walk out of Hobie's kitchen looking like she's holding toxic waste with the biggest smile on her face.

And it's always a gamble on what you're gonna get, because sometimes her baked goods, while unorthodox, are actually really good. Nobody thought the Velveeta cheese fudge would've turned out well but they were pleasantly surprised. Sometimes though she makes things that are so foul that Hobie, I'll eat anything, Brown debates throwing it overboard after she leaves. (Diane probably has Hobie poison taste test before she tries anything and even then she's skeptical because of his Britishness.)

They give her their honest opinion for each thing that she makes as calmly as they can without hurting her feelings. And since she's trying to learn how to bake using her own groceries they don't have the heart to stop her. However, Ansi is straight up banned from making jello salad because of all the vile concoctions she kept coming up with.

"I thought adding pickles and olives to the jello would give it a more balanced flavor."

"NO."

(You have to know that I saw some of the most horrendous meals while searching up examples. I know there was a whole crack epidemic going on but weren't people coming up with good ideas back then? WHY ARE WE PUTTING THESE THINGS TOGETHER? ASPARAGUS CAKE. ASPARAGUS 😭😭😭😭)

This ask had me WEAK as hell because I imagine Diane eating every sweet like

Being all GREEDY because she loves food. The first one in the kitchen like 'what's this now' and she will try to rope people into it if she can!!

Plus like...never letting the British rest when it comes to food

Hobie is all hesitant and she's like 'Weren't you eating spotted dick yesterday'. 'You're bugging out, it's like Yorkshire pudding and all that.' Then she stands there waiting for him to eat it even though she was the one who was all excited to try jhhfjjdkf

And when she does like it the house Never gets quiet for there. She's all "Yeessss, snaps to this!!" or going "Okay, chef!". Everytime Ansi come in the room she's complimenting her (with another piece in her hand)

But on the inverse, since Diane LOVES soul food and is so greedy her food is A LOT.

Everything need Adobo and Larry's and Old Bay Seasoning. (Yes all three) Everything needs butter. Salty as hell and if it's spicy it's damn near too hot to taste.

She loads up the plate with cornbread AND yams AND mac & cheese, then hands it to them like it's lunch. Why'd she make so much goddamn collard greens? Wakes up in the morning like 'ya'll want sum grits and shrimp?" Ma'am it's 9am.

She makes all this heavy ass buttery food, eats the whole thing then looks at Ansi and Hobie like

"Ya'll not hungry?? - I'm hungry. This is good food - Hobie you okay you ain't finish"

and it's like yeah cause it looks like you deep-fried this burger in lard the man has heartburn

Pavi says she's tryna fatten everyone up like the witch from Hansel & Gretel but she's just trying to make sure everyones soul is FED OKAY

CHAPTER THREE; The investigation.

chapter one; chapter two

                               Player has chosen: [B] Stay together! 

“okay, if you’re not scared, then you’re okay with us splitting up to find the rest of the gang, right?” taehyung tilts his head before raising a brow

you swallow thickly and take a couple of seconds to think it through

if you split up, there would be four people exploring four different parts of the house, which would be pretty efficient

but sticking together would be a much safer option and this house does give you the heebie-jeebies after all...

“i’m…” you trail off before shaking your head gently, “i’m not scared, but i don’t think it’s a good idea to split up. this house is huge and we could lose each other again, which means we’d waste even more time.”

taehyung immediately lets out a quiet groan and tilts his head back, “ugh. you guys are so lame.”

wha-

you’re not lame!!

you’re just,.,. you’re being safe!!

and safety isn’t lame!!

“okay, what about if we split off in groups of two?” you suggest, raising a brow, “that way we’re not entirely alone, and we have two teams searching the house instead of just one big one…”

“okay… i guess i can get on board with that…”

“and this can be our meeting spot!” you perk up, “how about… twenty minutes? in twenty minutes, no matter what, you have to come back here for a team update.”

“this is exciting!” jimin grins, clasping his hands together in anticipation, “it kinda feels like we’re ghost-hunting.”

taehyung snorts, “well, yoongi is as pale as a ghost, so i guess there’s some truth in that-”

“alright! so, jungkook and i will take floors one to three, and you guys can take floors four to six-“

“woah, woah, woah-“ taehyung interrupts you, waving both his hands to stop you, “hold on just a second- why do you get to take jungkook?”

you frown lightly, “what do you mean?”

“if you take jungkook, you get the flashlight and the baseball bat. that’s so not fair!”

“i thought you morons weren’t scared of this dusty old house.” you mock, using the bat to gesture around the large room

“we’re not scared-!” taehyung argues, “but anyone would feel a little better having at least one helpful tool.”

you suppose he’s right

it’s only fair that their team gets a tool

you roll your eyes before nudging jungkook with your elbow, “jungkook, give him your flashlight-”

jungkook immediately gawks and holds his precious flashlight to his chest, “what? no way! i’m not giving up the flashlight! you give him your bat!”

and now it’s youR turn to gawk

“what?? i’m not giving him my bat! i’m the weakest one here, i actually need the weapon if we get into any kind of trouble-”

“you know…” taehyung whistles lowly, “for two people who claim they aren’t a pair of scaredy-cats, you sure are acting like it now-”

“okay, what about this?” you use your bat to point towards jimin, “i’ll take jimin, and you can take jungkook-”

“i don’t wanna pair up with taehyung!” jungkook speaks up, shaking his head furiously, “no friggin’ way!”

oh jesus

at this rate you’re going to be here all night just arguing about who’s going to go with whO

the others would be better off finding you guys instead of you guys finding them

“and why not?”

“because he’s an asshole- and what if he tries scaring me again? this place already gives me the creeps, and i don’t need taehyung whispering about how this place could’ve been, like, a mental hospital or something and the deranged patients are still somewhere in here-”

“oh my god, jungkook-!” you cut him off, partly to get him to shut up and partly to get him to stOp talking about deranged mental patients because the idea of that is just plain terrifying, “okay, i will take taehyung, and you can take jimin. is everyone happy??”

a good five seconds of silence ticks by and you take that as a yes

finally

thank GOD

“ooh, you know what we should do?” taehyung gasps as he makes his way over to you, “why don’t we turn this into a game? whichever team comes back with more people in twenty minutes is the winner!”

“what kind of prize are we talking about?” jungkook perks up, his competitive streak suddenly kicking in, “i like games if there are prizes to win.”

hm

you like playing games too

and you like winning prizes

plus, it’ll motivate you to find everyone faster!

“i have a starbucks coupon in my wallet?” you offer, “there’s like, six bucks left on it, but it’s better than nothing-“

“i have a strawberry flavoured condom in mine!” jimin chirps

everyone looks over at him

“what?” he shrugs, “strawberry is tastier than plain ol’ latex.”

“okay, well-” taehyung claps his hands together to effectively bring this flavoured condom conversation to an end, “the winning team gets a six dollar starbucks coupon, a strawberry flavoured condom, and the title of best team ever- so we’re all in, then? are we doing this?”

“mhm.”

“yep!”

“uh-huh.”

“remember, twenty minutes!” you call out as jimin and jungkook head back towards the staircase to go up to the third floor, “twenty minutes and we meet back here- aaand no one’s listening to me. wonderful.”

the sound of their footsteps fade into the distance and soon enough, it’s just you and taehyung

you turn around to look at him, “alright, superstar. there’s no way in hell i’m giving up my starbucks coupon, so we’d better get a move-on.”

“i say we tackle the kitchen first,” taehyung nods enthusiastically, “i could use a snack.”

“you- you think you’re going to get a snack here?” you snort, the two of you heading towards what seems to be the swinging double-doors to a kitchen, “unless you’re in the mood for, like, dead cockroaches and dust bunnies, i doubt you’re going to find anything yummy here.”

“hm.” tae frowns, “good point. you don’t think they have any canned goods here? like, canned peaches or… i don’t know, i’ll even take tuna-“

“tae- give up all hope of finding something edible here. after we find everyone, we’ll get out of here and go to mcdonalds! i’d kill for a big mac right now-”

“okay, you need to stop talking about food because i’m actually starving right now-“ taehyung looks down and places a hand over his tummy before patting it, “let’s talk about something else. who are we finding first?”

the two of you step into the kitchen, the door gently swinging back and forth behind you 

for a house that’s seemingly been abandoned, this kitchen is pretty neat

you expected it to be overrun by rats and covered in weeds and all that 

it’s still pretty dusty in here, though 

“well, i don’t think we can plan to find someone first, tae.” you raise a brow as you swipe a finger over the gritty kitchen island, “we find whoever we find.”

you rub the grime in between your fingers before wiping your hand off on the back of your jeans

“touché.” taehyung mutters as he walks alongside you, “say you were mr. kim namjoon himself, where do you think you would be?”

“hm. do i think i’m in trouble or am i just passed out?” you ask absentmindedly as you open up the drawers in search for anything useful

unfortunately, all you’re able to find are boring old utensils   

you’re not sure how useful forks and spoons are as self-defence weapons

unless you scooped someone’s eyes out with the spoons

that could work! 

that sounds like it requires technique, though… so maybe you’ll have to go with a different approach

“um… just passed out.” taehyung coughs before waving his hand in front of his face, “jesus, it’s dusty in here-” 

you let out a gasp when you end up finding a box of matches - there are only three matchsticks left, but that’s definitely better than no matchsticks at all!

light!! 

“well, see, that’s not fair, because then it’s free game-” you spin around and hold the box of matches up before shaking it gently, “if i was a passed out namjoon, i could be anywhere in this damn house- also, see if you can find any candles or anything-”

“you know, these types of games aren’t fun when you overanalyse and think about it like that-” taehyung flat out ignores you before bending over so he can lean against the kitchen island, “i change my answer. say you were a mr. kim namjoon who thought someone was chasing you- what would you do and where would you hide?” 

you wait for two seconds to see if taehyung will make a move to get up and actually help you 

and.... 

nope 

god

you have to do everything around here

“okay, fine. if i was a namjoon who thought i was in trouble…” you let out a sigh as you spin back around before reaching up to open up the cupboards, “i would probably leave a clue somewhere for my friends to find me…”

a large speck of dust floats past your eyes and you’re about to wave it away when you suddenly remember the dust that you saw earlier at the top of the staircase

…

you follow it with your eyes, watching carefully as it drifts past you and begins lowering to the ground

“like a hansel and gretel situation?” taehyung asks, “with the crumbs of bread and stuff?”

“exactly…” you murmur, watching curiously as the speck of dust never actually floats to the ground but appears to float down the hall

“what would namjoon use in place of bread? probably, like, those caramel candies he’s always sucking on-” taehyung snorts and moves to the side when you shut the cupboards and lean over to keep an eye on the floating dust, “what are you looking at?” he asks, standing up straight to look at what you’re looking at

which is...

nothing? 

“nothing, nothing-” you shake your head, quickly springing into action when you nearly lose sight of it, “here, take the bat-” 

you don’t know why but you feel like you have to follow it

or maybe you’re just crazy and it’s just an innocent speck of dust because this house really IS super old and musty after all 

there’s nothing left to explore in the kitchen so you have to move on to other rooms anyway  

taehyung takes the bat from you and props it up so he’s holding it over his shoulder, “what’s going on?”

you fumble with the little cardboard carton before pulling a matchstick out and quickly striking it against the side of the box, a little ball of flame suddenly coming to life and flickering before your eyes

the corridor is pitch black so you can’t see very far ahead, but it’s better than fumbling around in the dark 

you swallow your nerves before venturing forward, tucking the carton into your pocket for safe-keeping 

“hey, wait- where are you going??” taehyung stammers, quickly trailing behind you as you leave the kitchen

“i just have a feeling…” you murmur, watching the flame carefully and slowing your pace down a little when it trembles a little too violently for your liking 

if this thing blows out halfway through and leaves you in the complete dark.,,. you’re 100% going to piss yourself 

the two of you round the corner and start to walk down what feels like a longer, narrower corridor

your tiny little torch is proving to be very useful right now!

“you know, we’re supposed to be a team.” taehyung hisses, “you can’t just start walking and not tell me where you’re going-”

your sneakers squeak against the floor when you suddenly come to a stop, tae letting out a grunt as he bumps into your back, ““jesus, the architecture of this place literally doesn’t make any sense at all.” 

“what are you talking about?” taehyung asks, glancing over his back towards the safety of the kitchen 

it’s brighter in the kitchen so he can still see a patch of light, but it seems like it’s a million miles away 

“i mean… what is this?” you gesture in front of you 

the corridor splits off into three different paths

the middle one just continues on into the darkness

but the others split off into two different… rooms? for some reason

kind of like the letter ‘y’ with a gap in the middle 

the doors to the rooms have glass panels in the centre and you take a step closer to peer into the left one, and then right one

and from that point onward, things just keep getting weirder and weirder

in the left room, there’s a staircase spiralling down, and in the right room, there’s a staircase spiralling up

you wouldn’t be surprised if the staircases led to more corridors with even more staircases

“i don’t know about this.” taehyung mutters, “i don’t… i mean, i really don’t think anyone would be here… i think we should go back to the kitchen, y/n. i’m, like, a little scared right now-”

“okay, yeah.” you mutter, “my match is about to die, so-”

as soon as you turn around to start heading down the hall, you suddenly feel a little thump from underneath your feet

you jump in surprise and reach out to grab the back of tae’s arm, “did you- did you feel that?”

“did i feel what?”

“the… i swear i felt something. i heard something too- like- like if someone was, like… like if someone smacked their fist against the wall or something-”

“what? well, i would’ve heard it too but i didn’t hear anything…” taehyung mutters uneasily, attempting to start walking again only for you to pull him back

he lets out a sigh before turning to look over at you, “okay, fine. where did the sound come from?”

you swallow thickly as you turn to look over your shoulder, “…the door on the left.”

“...okay, well, there’s no way i’m going in there, so i’m gonna head back to the kitchen-” 

you feel taehyung’s arm slip away from your hand right as your match burns out and you open your eyes as wide as they can possibly go as if doing so will give you night-vision or something 

“taehyung, hold on-” you fumble for the box of matches in your pocket, “just gimme a second to-” 

as soon as you light another match, you’re more than surprised to see that the structure of the corridor has changed because now you’re standing in front of a wall 

you turn around quickly to see that the three paths are still there 

??

what??

where did the-

where did the kitchen go??

where did the corridor go??? 

your hand starts to tremble, the little flame starting to shake as well 

you feel your heart beginning to pound a little harder in your chest and you whimper quietly when you hear another thump

what do you want to do?

> [A] Don’t go into the room! You don’t know what’s down there!

> [B] Go into the room! …Once again, you don’t know what’s down there... And what if it’s one of the others?

Place your vote here.

You have one hour.

Good luck.

[praphit]

Gretel & Hansel: White people, hear me!

I know, I know, some of y'all were hoping that my next review would be Taylor Swift's "Miss Americana". 

I'm sorry to disappoint you. Why and how is she still making movies anyway? I thought that everyone associated with "Cats" had been banned from Hollywood.

Now, it WOULD be cool, if Taylor got involved in Horror. I'm thinking that a bunch of horror monsters could get together to track her down; kinda like a contest. They would, you know... do their thing to her, and then bring her back from the dead in the sequel, and repeat the process. Every now and then, they could throw in Justin Bieber or someone else with his same level of annoyance. BOOM! Franchise! So, donate to Praphit Productions (millions), so I can make that happen. I'll just CG Taylor Swift in, if I have to; I'm sure she'd be ok with that.

Just picture Jason Voorhees or Kanye West chasing her.

No, people, I'm here to talk to y'all about Hansel & Gretel!

No, no, no, I'm sorry! "Gretel and Hansel!"

I almost forgot about that blow up in their studio. Y'all remember that?

Sophia Lillis' (who plays Gretel - SHE’S GREAT IN THIS-BTW) first day on the set was raw! 

She walked up to the director and was like "Bleep this bleep! Who is Hansel? Who the bleep is he?! No one knows that actor! What is he, like 5 years old? Bleep him! How is his name first?! So, a woman can't lead a man, huh??! It's always gotta be Hansel first, right?! And what always happens?! That witch bitch always tries to eat them! Bleep that! Y'all know who I is! I'm Sophia bleeping Lillis! I was in "It" one AND two. What has "Sammy Leakey" (playing Hansel) been in??!

Not a damned thing! I want my name first! You will put it first or so help me God, I will UNLEASH THE FURY!"

Director (Oz Perkins): "I actually like that idea"

SL: "I don't give a bleep what you like! Just make it happen!" 

Then, she went to her trailer, and when she came back out, it was "Gretel & Hansel".

(Hansel’s not even in the shot. Lillis was too raw for him.)

Let's see if Gretel fairs better in this story, now that she's getting the chance to lead.

We all know this Brothers Grimm story. There's a family (I don't know what Gretel & Hansel's last name is... we'll just say "Shakur"). So, the Shakur Family was struck by a famine in the land. Stuff happens, and G & H end up off on their own, in the woods, and eventually meet up with a witch, who later tries to eat them.

White people, hear me! Are you listening? STOP GOING INTO THE WOODS! Seriously, STOP! I'm trying to save you. Black people know better, but y'all... smh. I know y'all like to go hiking, and camping, and taking selfies on mountain tops and shit, but PLEASE... STOP! Nothing good is waiting for you out there!

Quit going into the woods to get footage of alleged monsters/spirits. Quit going into the woods to spend the night in cabins. Quit going into the woods to party on the anniversary of the night that 12 people were mysteriously murdered in those same woods. STOP!

JUST STOP! DAMN!

Some of you might be thinking, "Well maybe Gretel will make it. Maybe now that she's leading the duo, things will be different." Nope, she's white... *sigh* so we all know what she and Hansel did...  went right into the woods.

This movie is mainly from Gretel's perspective. Right from the jump, we see Gretel being pimped out by her mama. Gretel of course declines to become a professional hoe, but when she comes back to her mama for a possible different direction in life, Mama is like "Would it have killed you to get on your knees for your family?! We're starving!"

I know - Mom of the Year.

Dad isn't even around. I may have missed something, but I don't remember where he was, or if maybe he ran away, a long time ago. One of those "Daddy went to get a pack of cigs, and never came back" scenarios. He may be off in a land flowing with Big Macs and Fries, Idk. Or maybe, being that his "selfish" daughter wouldn't put-out, he decided to get to work on the corner himself. Who knows where he was in this movie??

Gretel was def tough though. And she loved her brother! She was very protective of him. There is a scene where there's some sort of vampire creature chasing down Hansel, and Gretel stands up to the creature. That's the type of character that she is in this movie. She's smart, tough, and though sometimes hard on her bro, she loves him very much.

Hansel on the other hand is annoying as shit. And Dumb! Man, is he dumb! I'm surprised that we never see Gretel slap him. But, she is always able to compose herself in the midst of her annoying brother, and keep the journey going. She even calms him down at one point with some drugs. They end up eating some shrooms on their trip. Now, THAT'S love, people! Seeing someone in need of calming the bleep down, and offering them some good shit. What's a road trip without a moment when the group gets high??

There's a Lando-looking character that they meet along the way. 

He doesn't have much of a role in this movie. I'm not saying it's because he's black, BUT he's a fascinating, noble character, who's black and barely in the movie. And they do not trust him at all. I'm not saying it's because he's black... you know what?? - YES! Yes I am saying that!

He saves their lives, offers them food and shelter, and gives them specific instructions that will keep them safe. But, after that (the only character so far that has had G & H's best interests in mind), Gretel immediately questions his motives. White women, hear me! If a black man willingly sticks out his neck for you, IN THE DARKNESS, in order to save YOUR life, that's a man that you can trust. Cuz we (black men) all know, that if we try to save a white woman out in public (even if we succeed), there's a good chance that the cops will still swing by to shoot us. They're thinking just like Gretel is in this movie - "I know it LOOKS like they saved her, but... can we really trust him? - let's shoot him just in case." Granted, this Landoish character sends them off (again with instructions for their safety). They had no quarrels about leaving (and quickly).

So, they runaway from the compassionate black man, who just saved them, and they meet an old lady (the witch) who has black fingers, and house smells a lil like death... and they say to themselves "Let's sleep here!" Ain't that some shit??! 

White people, HEAR ME!

STOP!

They don't even question her black fingers, they just let her handle their food. I question people of whom I don't know, with normal fingers, handling my food, but... I guess that's just me.

Then, the rest of the story is legend.

The production design in this movie is absolutely amazing! If this film had no dialogue, and was just silent, it still would have been a beautiful movie (despite the cannibalism:)

The plot, I felt, was secondary to the cinematography.

Some of you might say, "Well that's nice and all, but is the movie scary? Does the witch, at some point, rev-up a chainsaw, and chase the two kids around her house?" No. "Ok, but does the movie, at some point, have little, pale Asian kids making creepy noises at H & G while they're trying to sleep?" NO! "Yeah, but is there some sort of human centipede action happening in the basement of the witch, and she tries to..."

NO! NO! HELL NO! What's wrong with y'all?!

No, none of that. The story that The Brothers Grimm have painted is horrifying enough. Famine and crappy parenting, leading to witch who wants to eat you... I'd say that's all that's required; the director knows this.

They don't need to use any gimmicks, just the same story (pretty much), a lil dark magic, the mentioned cinematography, and well-placed spooky music keep the movie in a consistent place of dread.

I think RT got this one wrong (59%). I don't have much bad to speak of, concerning this movie. I can't give it an A grade, due to it being a copy of a story that we've seen copied many times before. Plus, there are some ending issues I have with it, that I'll get to in a sec. BUT, this film is a hell of a B grade :)

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I WARNED YOU!

A few things:

Soooooo, Gretel has some sort of connection to the witch that is never explained. Apparently, she has within her, the same powers as the witch.

She ends up sending her bro off to Lord knows where. She sends him off on a horse that she says she SPOKE TO, and he (the horse) will get Hansel there (where? who knows??) safely. So, she's talking the animals now?? When did she pick-up that skill? And where the bleep did she even get a horse?

There's some super grease that her and the witch use to do magic, that is never explained.

Now, none of this took away from my enjoyment of the film, but... still though.

There's a message of false empowerment at the end. Like I said, she abandons her brother, so that she can... fulfill her destiny or something. She has dark magic in her, but she is convinced that she'll use it for good. Like I said, Gretel is a SMART character... what happened to all of that smart? It's like saying "Hey, I have this STD, but instead of tending to it, I'm going to use my STD for good. It's going to be hard, but I've gotta be strong."

WHAT?!

I said "false empowerment". The movie isn't painting a picture of this being a good thing, but the "false" part is subtle enough to where people could walk away thinking it's an empowering message.

You abandoned your brother to become a witch! But, maybe I'm not being fair. Perhaps Gretel will be just fine. Throughout the history of human beings, we've had many people who were in power, and who thought that not allowing their power to be checked was the brave and noble thing to do. I think those times in history all worked out well right??

I could have added some pics to accentuate my last statement, but I feel it might have been a little too real:)

So, instead I'll leave y'all with this slightly less horrifying pic

... and bid you adieu.

STAY OUT OF THE WOODS!

OTP kids: headcanons

So as all of you probably already know, I’ve been doing a lot with my hypothetical kid characters for the mercs, but you probably don’t know that I have a lot of headcanons regarding the relationships between the mercs and the children, as well as ideas for future stories and stuff like that.

Right now in my little “universe” I’ve created with my stories, there’s only three kids: Dee (Sniper’s adopted daughter from “Dumpster Diving” who Scout also adopted after he and Sniper began dating), AJ (Scout and Sniper’s biological child, born very unexpectedly a year after Dee), and Titania (Medic and Heavy’s daughter, the youngest child so far). At the moment these are the only kids, and some more are planned but i still have to decide on what they’ll look like/what their names will be and such.

Anyway, I also like to think that the mercs are still on a base being assigned to missions and stuff like that even with the kids around, and that they’re being raised by pretty much all of the adults like they’re one big family (family bonding like that makes me so happy yo). So here’s a list of some headcanons I have about all that:

1. One day, while Sniper and Scout were assigned on a mission, Spy was tasked with looking after Dee and AJ, who were around 3 and 4 years old at the time. All was well until AJ started asking Spy if he could play with “the naked man”. Spy became very panicked but asked AJ to show him this “naked man”, and AJ led him to Medic’s supply closet, where Medic kept an anatomy dummy. Spy was relieved but told the others later that he almost had a heart attack.

2. When she was about 4 years old, Titania recieved a doll from one of her aunts. She didn’t seem to like it but would carry it around anyway while getting into everything. One day, during a cookout, Medic decided it was a good idea to distract his daughter from the hot grill by reading her “Hansel and Gretal”, but then Titania wanted to act the story out after it was over. She ultimately decided to pretend that her doll was the evil witch, and this led to her tossing the doll onto the grill where it burnt to a crisp. Medic tried to scold her but couldn’t stop laughing about it and now tells everyone that story.

3. Dee had a phase where she refused to eat anything except potato chips and peanut butter sandwiches (she was 5), so if someone tried to give her some food that wasn’t one of these things, she’d have a fit. Sniper became so desperate to try and get his daughter to eat something that he turned to Engineer for help. Engie made a smoothie which he cracked an egg into, and he told Dee if she drank the whole thing there would be a surprise at the bottom. Dee did as she was told, but when there was nothing at the bottom of the glass she cried for 15 minutes about it.

4. Following conversation took place between Demo and AJ:

Demo: *opens bottle of laundry detergent*

AJ: hey how come you could open that and not me??

Demo: aye that’s because it has a child safety lock! It won’t open for ye if you’re a kid

AJ: *gasps* how’d it know I was a kid??

5. Heavy and Soldier once got into a screaming argument with each other because Soldier was supposed to take Titania to her piano lessons but instead took her to the middle of a field to practice shooting at cardboard cutouts. Soldier never apologized for this and still stands by the decision. (Side note: Heavy wasn’t really upset about the piano lessons, but more upset because he was supposed to teach Titania how to use weapons, not Soldier).

6. For dinner one night, Pyro decided to show Dee how to make tuna casserole. However they burnt the casserole and tried to make it palatable by piling Mac and cheese on top of it. Despite the fact that no one wanted to eat it, Scout was adamant that everyone should at least try some of it before he took a bite himself and decided to order pizza instead.

7. Around Easter one year, Sniper came back into contact with his biological father and decided to try and rekindle the relationship by bringing Scout and the kids over to his father’s new home. However, things went sour fast when Sniper’s dad made a comment about how Sniper and Scout obviously loved AJ more because he wasn’t adopted like Dee, and Sniper got so angry that he never spoke to his dad again and just decided it wasn’t worth it.

(I have more but let me know if you’re interested because if I put them all here this post is gonna be LONG)

Bacon Bits

Summary: That peace was broken by a loud grumble emanating from Ben’s stomach and he winced, curling in a little closer to himself. A voice in his head that was most definitely not his own thank you very much, hissed something about feeding, and Ben hissed right back. It was hungry for something other than food that he wasn’t willing to provide anytime soon.

Klaus snorted at the noise and Ben’s face colored slightly as the other swiveled to face him, “Jesus, Boo-Boo, when was the last time you ate? Last week?”

Relations: Familial Ben and Klaus

Also read it here on AO3!

Safe to say, being alive again was a lot to get used to. Of course Ben was overjoyed to be able to speak to his siblings directly again and actually experience life with them, even if it meant he had to be thirteen again. But there was a lot of little things habits he'd taken for granted, that he’d lost in the nearly two decades he hadn’t been corporeal.

He’d never again take for granted knowing to do something on instinct

.Now would be a perfect example.

He still relished in the quiet, calm moments that were few and far between in the Academy. It sparked a strong feeling of deja vu, sitting curled in Klaus’s room on the bed reading something while Klaus experimented with his hair or makeup in the mirror during their hour of free time each day. The two were barely ever apart, even now. It was a turbulent time, and being one another’s only consistent company for so long forged a bond they took full advantage of while learning to live in the Academy once again. Still, it was one of the few positive memories he had of the home and not one he planned to let die, being given a second chance.

It was always strange, to realize this was his second chance at life, when he’d never truly left in the first place.

The only sound in the room to break his introspection was the occasional sound of a page turning, and Klaus humming softly under his breath as he sat at the mirror, trying to see how much he could get away with when it came to eyeshadow.

That peace was broken by a loud grumble emanating from Ben’s stomach and he winced, curling in a little closer to himself. A voice in his head that was most definitely not his own thank you very much,  hissed something about feeding, and Ben hissed right back. It was hungry for something other than food that he wasn’t willing to provide anytime soon.

Klaus snorted at the noise and Ben’s face colored slightly as the other swiveled to face him, “Jesus, Boo-Boo, when was the last time you ate? Last week?”

“First of all, that nickname doesn’t work anymore, and you know it. I’m not a -”

“You’ll always be my spirited buddy,”

A half-hearted glare, “You’re insufferable,”

“I try. But seriously, don’t think I don’t notice you picking at meals. It may not look like it, but I’m a very protective big brother,” Klaus offered a shit-eating to top off the statement.

“We’re the same age,”

“Answer the question, Hentai Master,”

Ben wrinkled his nose, resisting the urge to gag, “Gross! I’m vetoing that and erasing you saying that from my memory. Besides, I ate… ah, fuck,”

“That tells me everything I need to know,”

“It does not,”

“It most certainly does, dear brother of mine. We have thirty minutes left in this block and I plan to use them to fatten you up,”

“I’m starting to feel suspiciously like Hansel and Gretel,”

Klaus just winked.

It was… hard. Meal times in the Hargreeves household were very regimented. Sametime, every day, every day of the year, and they always knew what they would be eating.

It wasn’t that he forgot. Or… it wasn’t just that.

Ben was used to being a passive observer, watching meals from the sidelines, sometimes sitting at the table but never actually being able to take the step to eat.

After fifteen years that habit was a hard one to break some days.

More than that though, he was physically not used to eating anymore. Food textures felt strange and everything settled oddly in his stomach like it wasn’t sure what it was doing there. Going from not eating for so long straight to the rich, calorie full meals they were fed to keep up their energy was certainly not doing him any favors on his path to reintegration.

“So whatcha cravin’, Benny?”

“I… don’t know.”

Klaus pulled them to a stop as they arrived in the kitchen and whirled around so he could face Ben. He frowned slightly when he noticed how distinctly uncomfortable Ben looked. After a short moment of thought, he pat the other on the shoulder and pushed him towards one of the seats.

“Sit, relax! Live a little. Let me handle this. I know exactly what that little tum-tum of yours needs,”

Ben huffed a little as he plopped into the nearest chair, watching Klaus through narrowed eyes, “Relish in it now. I won’t be shorter than you forever,”

“That’s what heels are for, you naive little boy,”

“Oh yeah, you can suffer that one alone. Don’t break your jaw again,”

Klaus stuck his tongue out as he began looking through the drawers of the spacious kitchen, swaying his hips to a beat only he could hear, “That was one time, and it was Luther’s fault anyway,”

“Whatever you need to tell yourself,”

“Oh, you’re no fun,”

The kitchen was… peaceful for the next few minutes, and Ben closed his eyes, just listening to the little noises he could hear and running his fingertips over the smooth surface of the table.

It could only ever last so long.

Suddenly a plate clattered in front of him, followed by a very loud, very close, “Voila, bon appetit, made with love!” That nearly startled Ben out of his seat.

Opening his eyes, the sight of the plate in front of him made him laugh, covering his mouth with one hand to muffle the sound, placed in front of him was a bowl of mac n’ cheese with a sprinkle bacon bits on top (obviously microwaved by the continued beeping in the background).

It used to be their secret meal, something they could make in the middle of the night when neither could sleep and they just needed company, Klaus kept up the spirits that haunted his sights and Ben by the movement and thoughts of whatever it was that resided under his skin.

“So what do you think? Up to your standards, chef?”

Ben snorted and looked up at Klaus, a smile softening his features, “I guess we’ll just have to see,”

And for the first time since his return, he sat and ate with that smile still there as Klaus launched into one of his wild stories, hands moving around the room.

And everything inside him was quiet.
