Sapphic asexual. She/her. Mid 20s. INFJ. Huge fan of the MCU, Harry Potter, Orphan Black, HTTYD, and Disney. Lately been 95% Raya X Namaari, but I'll occasionally reblog some cool animals.
Bonus: I can't draw people to save my life, so I write fanfic instead. If you ever want to draw a scene from a fic, please do and tag me in the result b/c I'd love to see it!
Also open to prompts or asks!
Hi, I sent a fic ask about 2-3 months ago and I was just wondering how it's going? I'm by no means trying to rush you, lord knows you probably have bigger and more important things you got to do, I just wanted to know the progress of it. Thanks! Sorry if I'm a bother.
Apparently asks get deleted if you answer them privately, which is dumb, but I finally finished the story @yoshi-disney asked for a while back! Here was the original ask (thank goodness I copied it to my AO3 page):
"Hey Animal Girl, I was just wondering if you take story suggestions for your Raya and Namaari fics. And if you do, I was wondering if you could make an AU to River Rescue where one of the girls doesn’t make it out, and the other has to learn to move on. I just thought it would make an interesting story.”
I've had a lot going on lately, so it took a while, but I finally finished it! If you haven't read it yet, please note the tags for trigger warnings, such as main character death, depression, and suicid@l thoughts.
I'm back! Here's the next chapter in River Rescue AU!
I won't be churning out works and updates quite as often as I have in the past since my life is kinda crazy right now with a new job, physical therapy, and other personal things, but I'll be sure to update when I make progress!
New piece! I've decided to make the Motherhood storyline part of my "official" post-canon storyline. So this Raya and Namaari are the same universe as my River Rescue and Old Enemies fics. I'll make the adjustment on Ao3 at some point lol.
Enjoy!
Summary: Namaari deals with some insecurities and doubts over not being their daughter's birth mother.
Hi Animal Girl, I was just wondering if you take story suggestions for your Raya and Namaari fics. And if you do, I was wondering if you could make an au to River Rescue where one of the girls doesn't make it out, and the other one has to learn to move on. I just thought it would make an interesting story. Anyways, have a good day.
Yay, my first ask! I was originally debating waiting to post this until it was finished, but that might be a while due to a new job and moving cities, so I'll start posting now. I have it all planned out, it's the actual writing that I need to sit down and do lol.
Please be aware, this will be a heavy fic dealing with loss, grief, and depression. Please read all tags for trigger warnings. Rated M for the difficult content.
River Rescue AU - Chapter 1 - AnimalGirl225 - Raya and the Last Dragon (2021) [Archive of Our Own]
Reblogging myself because this series quickly became one of my favorites of all time and y'all need to read it
Okay not that anyone’s listening but Y’ALL ARE SLEEPING ON ‘THE CHRONICLES OF DORSA’
It’s an epic fantasy with multiple queer women heading the romantic subplot written by an LGBT+ independent author who deserves more acknowledgement! If you love fantasy and wish you were represented more in it’s works, this is all you’ve ever asked for and more!
Get around it. Chronicles of Dorsa, book 1, ‘Princess of Dorsa’.
Update! Life's been crazy here, hence the long break, but I'm still writing! I also have an interesting request in the works, and I'm debating posting it chapter by chapter or waiting until it's complete before posting it. That would probably be a while, though.
can’t believe this is an unpopular opinion, but Raya and the Last Dragon (2021) was amazing. A lot of people liked the movie and the history/heritage behind it but not the message of the movie. and while i 100% adore and appreciate the heritage, the message was what made me love the movie.
people think that the message is wrong to say we should trust those who are untrustworthy or who have given us reasons not to trust them, that Namaari and Fang didn’t deserve forgiveness or trust in the movie.
but that’s exactly the point- it’s not about deserve. Raya and the Last Dragon is 100% a reflection not only of Southeast Asian culture, but of our world today. especially in regard to politics, we don’t trust each other, we don’t work together, and we let fear divide us. In the movie, Raya realizes that while Nemaari may not be the most trustworthy person, someone has to take the first step in working together to fix the world. and that’s so important.
today, it’s so much easier for us to say that we shouldn’t have to take responsibility for a problem just because we didn’t start it. it’s easy to point fingers instead of join hands. but that’s not the way to improve things. sometimes you have to trust and come together not because the other person deserves it, but because the world does.
and that’s exactly the message Raya and the Last Dragon conveys- not necessarily trusting blindly, but trusting others because WE ourselves are trustworthy, and it’s the only way to truly grow.
