Find Where You Belong

I’ve been working on a fic since December. A few months and 80,000 words later, it’s done. I just posted the first few chapters on Ao3.

Pixar/ATLA fusion

Summary:

Young airbender Violet is content being the sister of Avatar Jack-Jack. All she wants is to raise Jack-Jack in peace so he can grow up to end the war between nations and bring balance to the world. But when the Fire Nation wipes out the other airbenders and kidnaps Jack-Jack, she bravely sets off to save him, along with an earthbender named Ian, his brother Barley, and two inexperienced waterbenders from the South Pole.

She may not be the Avatar, but she’s determined to fight the Fire Nation and rescue Jack-Jack, to reunite the remaining fragments of her family. Even if it means fighting the Firelord himself.

Melodies - Noteflight Link

So, despite being a Noteflight user for years, I just now remembered I can share my scores with other people. People like you!

So here are links to the melodies for some of the songs. Not all of them, because I haven't figured them out on the piano yet.

Please enjoy, and let me know your thoughts!

Allow me to introduce myself

As the description says, I’m a theater student who loves A Separate Peace. And one day, I thought to myself, this should be a musical. Think about it. It would have minimal costumes and sets, but a great atmosphere with the 1940s-esque music. I also think it would get the characters’ motivations and feelings across in a unique way, since the characters could sing about them without it feeling like exposition.

I love songwriting, so I thought I’d give it a shot. I have about seven or eight songs done (lyrics and melody only, no accompaniment or singing yet), and I’m really happy with how it’s turned out so far! Summer is here, so I thought it would be a good time to start sharing it with the fandom.

I’m very excited to share some of my progress and thoughts about the process with y’all. I hope you come by and enjoy your time with me!

Gold Rush and A Separate Peace

This song is just so perfect for Gene and Finny. I can’t even. Jumping into water? Envying how perfect somebody is? Dinner parties and being contrarian? (The headmaster’s party, anyone?)

Dungeon quest, ONWARD!! 🌙🌙

Me casually back on drawing Onward content after 4 years lol, was suddenly in the mood again and i'm pretty curious of how i draw them now! Their outfit is based from Barley warrior gear and Ian wizard clothing from Disney mirrorverse.

Really miss the Lightfoot bros by a lot Fr Fr, I should watch the movie again for reminiscing ❤️ It's crazy looking back at this movie now, how it's become the last movie i watch on cinema before everything went horrible, 2020 was a really wiiiiild ride.

Rant incoming

I feel like the problem with a lot of Disney's live action remakes (and arguably Wish) is they're trying to appeal to a crowd that no longer exists, namely the people who used to claim that the Disney Princesses were sexist.

All the interviews tend to include, "Well she's not chasing a MAN anymore" which...almost no one sees the princesses like that, anymore. Virtually NO ONE still believes the princesses are man-chasing sexist caricatures of women.

Cinderella is now hailed as an abuse victim who stayed strong long enough to get help to get out of her situation. Anyone who says she should have saved herself is basically regarded as a victim blamer. And it's very clear in the film she wasn't looking to marry the prince, she just wanted a night off. She was the only one who wasn't in line to meet him. She didn't find out she met the prince until he went looking for her!

Snow White is now hailed for her negotiation skills, ability to calm down after extreme stress (she had a moment of panic and had to cry for a bit, but who wouldn't after finding out The Queen hired someone to kill you?), and ability to take charge of a house of adult men. And again, she was an abuse victim, this time trying to escape ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS. While she dreamed of her prince, it was secondary to her main goal of SURVIVAL. There are also entire video essays about how Snow White gave hope to people during The Great Depression.

Everyone acknowledges that Ariel wanted to be human BEFORE meeting Eric. We all know she was a nerd hyperfixating on humans, and also standing up to her prejudiced father.

We understand Sleeping Beauty wasn't the main character, the Three Good Fairies were, AND PHILLIP WOULD NEVER HAVE BEATEN MALEFICENT WITHOUT THEM! He literally depended on them! WOMEN SAVED THE DAY! But even then, is it really such a sin for a girl to fantasize about romance and fall for someone with corny pickup lines?

We all understand Jasmine just wanted someone to treat her LIKE A PERSON. She rejected every Prince before Aladdin because they treated her like a prize. So why did they need her to want to be Sultan? How did that make her more feminist when she already wanted to be treated like an equal and have a say in her future? Is it only empowering if you want a career in politics?

We admire that Belle, despite living in a judgemental village, was kind to everyone (even though she found the village life dull), and her story teaches girls that the guy everyone else loves isn't always a good guy. What's sexist about teaching girls about red flags? And she didn't start being nice to The Beast until he started treating her with respect and kindness.

Do I really NEED to defend Mulan or Tiana? I think they speak for themselves.

Rapunzel was yet another abuse victim who just needed a little help to get out of her bad situation. In this case, she also needed to learn that she was an abuse victim, and that what Mother Gothel did WASN'T normal, much like many victims of gaslighting.

And don't get me started on the non-princess animals.

Perdita had a healthy relationship with Pongo to the point she was open to express her pregnancy fears to him, and was ready to TEAR APART Cruella's goons for daring to touch her puppies as well as adopting the other puppies. Like, she was so ferocious the goons mistook her for a hyena! She's basically that "I AM THAT GIRL'S MOTHER!" scene from SpyXFamily if Yor were a dog. She and her husband were a TEAM.....but they made a Cruella live action to turn her into a girlboss?! The literal animal abuser!? THAT'S the woman you wanted to put on a pedestal when Perdita was RIGHT THERE!?

Duchess kept her kittens calm after they had been catnapped and was classy as heck. Nice to everyone regardless of social class during a time period where that was uncommon.

Lady stood up to Tramp when she believed he had abandoned her and didn't really care about her. She found out he was a heartbreaker and was like, "Nuh uh. No. You are not doing that to me! You put me through enough."

Miss Bianca from The Rescuers was IN CHARGE the whole movie, and was willing to risk life and limb to save an innocent child. THAT TINY MOUSE TOOK ON ALLIGATORS! And she picked Bernard to accompany her because he was the only one who wasn't ogling her. And then in the sequel SHE DID IT ALL AGAIN! I wish I were as brave as her.

Like, the public haven't accused these ladies of being sexist caricatures since 2014 (Actresses and actors don't count, they're out of touch like the rest of Hollywood) yet Disney is operating under the assumption that the public still thinks that way, hence all the "sHe'S nOt AfTeR a MaN iN ThIs VeRsIOn" talk.

The live action remakes are trying to attract an audience that doesn't really exist much, anymore, and back when it did exist, was comprised mainly of people who didn't actually watch the films. The Disney princesses are no longer seen as sexist, and feminine qualities are no longer seen as weak or undesirable.
