I just wanted to send, with all sincerity, a happy birthday to robin Williams message. :) if you wanna answer it for the blog, can you tell us what Robin means to you, personally?
// Aww, thank you so much, dear! I’m so glad you sent this in. Robin was one of the absolute BEST actors I’ve ever seen and he’s really grown up with me and my siblings since we were little! My mom had bought us Aladdin for the VHS and I would always watch it whenever I had the chance. Heck, I think I almost wore it out from watching it so much. And of course, next to Aladdin, Genie was always my favorite. My sister and I also used to watch Jumanji together at some points after school. While I wasn’t thrilled at some of the scarier parts of the movie, I stayed because I knew Robin was in it. He also had this light, that made people drawn to him. A kindness that I strive to try and be every day. He also had a lovely sense of humor, too. To me, Robin was a beacon of hope in a dark, sometimes cruel world, and he was a ball of energy, laughter, and joy whose movies I could go to when I was having a bad day. He was a glowing candle.
When I heard about his death back in my first year of college in 2014...I was devastated. That man had meant so much to me and to see he was gone...It was a lot to take in. But I know he lives on through his legacy, and of course his wonderful children. His daughter Zelda is also following in his footsteps, and if he were alive today, he’d be SO proud. Not to mention be honored by Will Smith’s performance as Genie in the remake. But as great a job as Will did...Robin was the best. THE best. Nothing can compare to him. He was so kind, so lively, so friendly and fun-loving. He always made people happy.
That’s what Robin means to me.

// 6 years ago we lost one of the brightest lights on Earth. A kind, energetic, funny, and sweet man who made one special Disney movie so magical. It will always be my favorite, and he’s one of the biggest reasons why. And today is his Birthday. I’ll never forget him, as long as I live; I’ll never forget his voice, his personality, his zest for life...I’ll never forget how he made so many people laugh. I’ll never forget that video of him making friends with a gorilla. I’ll never forget how I used to sing Prince Ali to entertain my grandpa before school when I was little. And I’ll never forget that day when I heard that that wonderful man had left us.
His legacy will always be remembered. Not only on Aladdin, but also in Hook, Jumanji, Mrs. Doubtfire...This man will forever live on in my heart, as well as the hearts of everyone who loved him.
...*gets teary, shutting my eyes tight*
Genie then comes over to his Mun, putting a hand on her shoulder. His own eyes had tears in them, as he wraps her up in a tight hug.
“I know, kiddo.
I miss him too.”
ROBIN WILLIAMS 1951-2014.

“Well, I’ve done enough damage around this popsicle stand for now! Great job today, Aisy-Daisy!”
Genie turns to give his Mun a pat on the back, when he sees that she’s gone. He blinks, looking around for her. He cups his hands around his mouth, calling her, voice echoing off the walls of the palace.
“Ah, hellooo?! Ya there, kid? Yoo-hoo~!
No answer. He scratches his head, wondering where she was. He then shifts into a receptionist with tons of makeup on, using a phone in comedic fashion.
“Hm...
Paging Miss Aislinn! Paging Miss Aislinn on line one~!”
Nothing. The djinn then shrugged, starting to head off when a sound reaches his pointy ears, making him turn his head towards it.
It sounded like...crying? Concern now came to his face, recognizing it as Aislinn. It was coming from Al’s room. He comes at the door frame, one hand on it, and sees her holding a photo in her hands. Her hazel green eyes were wet, small tears trickling down her cheeks. The cosmic being frowned. She seemed pretty upset about something.
“...Ais?”
His voice made her jump a bit, and she looks up and sees him. She gave an embarrassed look, wiping her eyes to try and get rid of her tears. He tilts his head to the side a bit, brows slanting in worry.
// O-Oh, Genie...Sorry, I was just...looking through family photo albums. *glances down* I missed my grandpa today...
Genie looked at her in sympathy, giving a sad smile and coming over to sit beside her. No magic, no poofing. Just normal talking.
“Ah. I see. I remember your grandfather. He was a good man. Great sense of humor, too.”
// *smiles a bit* Yeah....Genie? Do you think he’d be proud of me? Of how I turned out?
The blue man puts a comforting arm around her, then uses his other hand to gently tilt her head up to look at him. He gives her a kind and warm smile, and keeps his voice gentle.
“Aislinn, if your grandfather were here, he’d be more than proud of you. He would have marveled at the person you’ve become. A kind, beautiful, talented, and brave young lady. I know that for a fact. Because I’m proud of you, too. You’ve accomplished so much, and come so far in your life. Don’t ever lose that spark you’ve got. Alright?”
Something magical happened right then and there. A wide smile came to her face, as a few more tears came down her face. Genie smiled back, wiping them away for her. His words really resonated with her, and she knew he was right. She hugs him close, burying her cheek against his blue chest. He returned her hug, giving her a gentle squeeze.
// Thanks, Genie. :’) I feel a little better.
His grin returned, and he wiggles brows at her playfully, then pulls her into his lap.
“Only a little? Don’t worry. I think I can fix that.”
Aladdin was heading back to his room, when he hears a shriek and the sound of laughter coming from inside. He looks in, alarmed at first, but then grins and crosses his arms when he sees Genie was only tickling Aislinn in delight. His blue fingers brushed and wiggled against her sides and stomach, making her squirm around wildly, and the being laughs along with her, wearing a goofy grin.
“Tickle tickle tickle! Ha ha ha!”
// Hahahahaha, Genieeee! S-Stop! Ehahahahahahaha!! A-Aladdin, help!!
“Heh heh...Okay, if you say so...”
The street rat smirked, approaching the two before joining in with Genie. Aislinn laughed louder, as the two boys ganged up on her together.
// THAT’S NOT HAHA WHAT I MEANT!!! xD
Aladdin laughed, and after a minute of tickling the poor thing, they both let up.
“Okay Genie, I think she’s had it.”
Aislinn catches her breath, giggling a bit here and there. Genie chuckled, reaching down to pinch her cheek gently.
“Awww, aren’t you CUTE?”
She rolled her eyes, before letting out a yawn. Aladdin smiled, helping her up. Genie grins, putting her on his shoulders then winking to the boy.
“I got this, Al. Alllll aboard!”
He lets out a train whistle, jogging to the guest wing with Ais. Aladdin watches this with an amused and happy smile. She giggles happily, and once they arrive, the djinn lets her onto the bed. She looks back at him, then gives him a kind smooch on the cheek. He blinks, touching the spot she kissed in surprise.
// ^_^
The cosmic being then gave a warm, tender smile, then reaches over to pull the covers up over her shoulders. He watches her sleep a moment, caring smile still on his face.
“...”
He rubs her hair softly, then exits.
