*  ☂     •     maleficent + mary poppins.

a  refined,  expressionless  maleficent  sears  underneath  the  woman’s  capacity  to  extend  her  perception.  the  way  her  hand  clasps  around  the  sceptre  is  as  if  she’s  hanging  onto  it  for  a  crutch.   ❝  your…  intuition  is quite  nauseating.  ❞

an  arched  left  brow;  a  tilt  of  her  head  ;  mary  poppins  glances  sidelong  the  other.   she’s  giving  away  just  as  much,  which  is  to  say,  none  at  all   ━━   this  woman  is  a  FAIRY,  no  doubt  ;  mary  is  certain  she  knows  which  one,  too  ;  one  of  the  most  powerful  ones  of  the  age.   maleficent.      

❝   IS  IT?  ❞   there  is  a  FLASH  of  something  behind  mary’s  blue  -  violet  gaze  with  the  question.  ❝  Well,  I  must  say  I’ve  always  fancied  myself  a  rather  pleasant  company.  A  tonic,  if  you  will.  If  one  has  nothing  to  hide.   ❞    

if  there  is  an  insinuation  in  such  a  statement,  mary  poppins  does  not  linger  upon  it.  surely  it  will  permeate  in  said  company.   mary  clears  her  throat,  instead  ;  a  staccato,  commanding  sound,  and  takes  one  swift  step  forward  toward  the  other.   INTRODUCTIONS  WERE  IN  ORDER,  surely.  they  are  only  proper,  after  all.

❝  MARY  POPPINS.  Glad  to  meet  you.  ❞   she  holds  her  hand  toward  the  other.   ❝  You  ARE  Maleficent?    ❞

@cfmycwn​  said  :  “ i’m doing it exactly like you told me to, and i’m still not getting it right.  ” 

❝  Oh,  hardly.  You’re  not  doing  it  exactly  like  I  told  you  otherwise  you’d  have  done  it  by  now.  ❞   mary  poppins  all  but  rolls  her  eyes,  sighs,  a  bit  dramatically,  and  then  moves  forward   ━━   must  she  do  everything  ?  oh,  yes,  she  must.  placing  one  hand  very  gently  on  the  small  of  alice’s  back,  the  other  resting  upon  her  arm,  straightening  it,  she  demonstrates  what  she  means. 

❝  First  of  all,  your  posture  is  dreadful.  Stand  up  straight  please,  don’t  slouch.  How  do  you  expect  your  reflection  to  hear  you  if  you’re  not  even  speaking  to  it  properly?  ❞   mary  adjusts  alice’s  posture  as  she  speaks,  pushing  between  her  shoulder  blades,  gently  albeit  firmly.  once  alice  follows  suit,  mary  lifts  her  own  neck,  clearing  her  throat.  

❝  Now:  speak  loudly  and  very  clearly.  Say:   ‘  reflect,  don’t  recollect.  ’     ❞  

mary opens  one  eye  to  make  sure  alice  is  listening.  she  taps  her  softly  on  the  leg  with  her  umbrella.   ❝  Go  on  now   ━━   very  clearly.  Into  the  mirror.  ❞

mentor/mentee vibes (because ur worth it–)

aka i really love the energy of this dynamic, but unfortunately this whole effort turned into me typing down actual dialogue that happened in my car while my poor father tried to teach me how to drive. but they make for fun threads! bon appetit!

from the mentor.

“ you’re doing it wrong. ”

“ would you like me to show you how to do it? ”

“ that… that’s not how you do it. ”

“ maybe this mentoring stuff requires patience that i don’t have. ”

“ keep doing it like that, and you’ll end up hurting yourself. ”

“ correct me if i’m wrong, but that’s not how i showed you to do it, is it? ”

“ okay, alright, look at me. you looking? do it exactly like i’m doing it. ”

“ move your feet, come on, you’ve got to move if you don’t want to end up flat on your ass again! ”

“ look… it’s progress, yeah? you’re better than you were before. ”

“ don’t beat yourself up; it’s a tricky move, nobody gets it right the first time. ”

“ okay, let’s… let’s try a different tactic. ”

“ you’re overthinking it. don’t think; just be in the moment. ”

“ stop, stop… alright. looking back on what you’ve just done, what do you think i’m going to say? ”

“ there’s definitely plenty of room for improvement. ”

“ ah… god, okay, don’t cry… it’s not as bad as it looks, you’re really not as bad at this as you think! ”

“ we’ll get there together. ”

“ okay. time for a break, yeah? let’s stop for now, catch a breath, we can come back to it later. ”

“ you obviously don’t enjoy any of this; why do you want me to teach you so badly? ”

“ i could teach you, if you’d like? ”

“ come on, like i showed you, remember? ”

“ feet apart, hands up; anticipate your opponent’s movements! ”

“ alright… don’t think about getting hit. this isn’t a fight. it’s a dance. you move in response and in anticipation of your opponent. ”

“ who the hell taught you to do that?! ”

“ that wasn’t terrible! you didn’t butcher it this time! ”

“ wake up. wake up, come on, up and at ‘em. you said you wanted to learn, so come on. up you get! ”

“ that was good! hell, that was brilliant! you knocked me off my feet! good job! ”

“ you need to stop worrying about hurting me. you gonna apologize and pay the hospital bills of whatever bad guy you go against next time? ”

“ i’m proud of you. ”

“ you’re doing great! “

from the mentee

“ can you teach me how to do that? “

“ i did it! “

“ okay, there’s no need to be dramatic, i wasn’t that bad! “

“ i AM trying. “

“ oh god, oh, i’m so sorry! did i hurt you? “

“ i need your help with this. okay? i can’t do this alone. “

“ you’re the expert, right? “

“ i’ve seen you fight; i wanna be as good as you! “

“ people’s lives are at stake if i lose. their blood’s gonna be on my hands, and it’ll be on yours, too, if you don’t help me. “

“ quit yelling at me, i’m trying my best! “

“ i’m doing it exactly like you told me to, and i’m still not getting it right. “

“ i don’t need a break! i need to keep going until i get this right! “

“ show me how you did it. “

“ i don’t know how. and you do. all i’m asking is for a few hours of training… please? “

“ that’s it. i quit! “

“ you’re a terrible teacher, you know that? “

“ you said you’d teach me. and i’m here to learn. so let’s go already. “

“ what’s the point?! i’m useless at this! “

“ this is pointless, i’m never going to be ready! “

i’m trying to think of a good way to put this into words, but ... a really, really important part of mary’s character is that regardless of how pretty she is, how proper she is, and how your character might feel about her practices in general... she just kind of commands respect and a likability no matter who she’s talking to? i obviously don’t want to tell anyone’s muse how to respond to her, and there will be obvious exceptions, but i just... i think mary wouldn’t really even bother with interacting with certain beings that wouldn’t show her any respect or, at the very least, wouldn’t respond to her with a certain sense of, like, “oh, okay, you know what, you’re right.” she is incredibly witty and good at getting her way without the other person even realizing it. so i ask that you take this into consideration when your muse is opposite her. ppl just. they like her.

*  ☂     •   for  fred  weasley,  the  elder  of  the  two  weasley  &  weasley  founders.

​a  purposeful  clearing  of  her  throat  ;  mary  poppins  COMMANDS  attention.  she’s  carrying  her  bird  umbrella  at  her  side  ;  a  flowered,  berry  hat  upon  her  pined  -  up  hair  --  there  is  certainly  no  mistaking  who  this  is  --  at  least,  not  within  the  wizarding  community.  the  only  divergence  from  her  usual  appearance,  however,  seems  to  be  a  squeaky  and  rather  delighted  pink  pygmy  puff,  darting  up  and  down  mary’s  head  in  a  mad  frenzy  ;  to  and  from  her  left  and  right  shoulders.  she  is  paying  it  no  mind.

❝  You  ARE  Fred  Weasley,  are  you  not?  ❞  

mary  poppins  seems  to  make  a  statement,  even  though  she’s  seemingly  asking  a  question  ;  her  tone  is  so  clear  and  without  a  hint  of  hesitation  it  may  as  well  have  been.  she’s  addressing  the  red-haired  man  before  her.  this  must  be  fred,  she  knows  ;   he’s  the  older  one,  and  the  one  usually  around  the  shop  at  this  time.   the  pygmy  puff,  now  upon  the  top  of  her  hat,  adds  its  own  SQUEAK,  as  if  it,  too,  has  a  question  about  the  identity  of  the  twin  before  it.

*    ☂       •      mary poppins + the blue fairy, woman of fate herself.

@practperfection​ asked:

❛ Did I miss anything? ❜ ( hi again, fiery-mun 😊 )

“Everything and yet nothing. Nothing of note but everything at once. People have fallen in love. Children are discovering snowflakes. Someone has cried. Someone has achieved what they have been wishing for. It’s all significant and yet insignificant at once.” The fairy brings her wand to her side and lets out a soft, dreamy sigh. “After a million years, it doesn’t get old. Well, not for me. You’re going to get bored with me around.”

it’s  a  LOVELY  clear  night,  and,  from  the  rooftops  of  london,  the  stars  are  shimmering  and  bright  ;  unusually  so,  for  being  london,  one  might  assume.  but  funnily  enough,  it  was  london  that  homed  the  buildings  tall  enough  to  see  the  stars.   AFTER  ALL,   mary  poppins  knows  one  simply  has  to  stand  upon  the  chimney  tops,  look  up  and  out,  and  wait,  and  there  they  are,  luminous  and  bright.  one  will  always  have  a  view  spectacular  in  london,  unlike  any  other   ━━   and  it’s  only  just  atop  the  chimney.  humans  of  the  day  -  to  -  day  rarely  took  the  time  for  such  trifles  (unfortunately  for  them,  such  an  easy  tonic  for  their  heads),  and  that  was  why  she  was,  so  often,  granted  the  time  alone  up  here  to  think.  humans  didn’t  always  know  about  the  stars  ;  they  never  bothered  with  the  chimneys.  not  unless  one’s  work  called  for  it,  of  course.  wasn’t  it  funny,  how  the  stars  were  so  close  by,  truly  so  within  reach,  after  all?  

mary  poppins  is  sitting,  delicately  and  postured,  both  legs  draped  over  the  edge  of  the  chimney,  the  same  way  in  which  she  might  ride  a  horse.  she’s  just  finished  powdering  her  nose  with  a  bit  of  rouge  ;  she  closes  up  her  tiny  compact  mirror  as  the  BLUE  FAIRY  finishes  her  statement,  having  been  warmed,  and  feeling  familiar,  by  every  word. the  divine  woman  speaks  a  truth  so  certain.  it’s  refreshing  to  hear  such  reason.  mary  poppins  smiles,  pleasantly,  yet  without  beaming.  it’s  unassuming  and  moonlit.  and,  when  it’s  her  turn,  mary  poppins  speaks,  her  full  attention  now  upon  the  fairy.   a  beautiful  being  ;  her  wings  shimmer  with  the  same  frequency  as  the  star  that  homes  her.   mary  knows  it  well.  she  visits  with  it  often.  but  it’s  been  a  spell  since  she  has  seen  the  lady  in  blue,  full  figured  and  voice  of  bells,  before  her,  in  this  form.  it’s  always  a  pleasure.  

❝  On  the  contrary,  ❞   mary  replies  to  the  blue  fairy’s  last  statement,  her  sharp  and  clean  english  diction  certain  and  curt  in  its  answer.   i  never  get  bored  of  you.   ❝  Things  always  seem  bright  when  you’re  around.  ❞

ugly mobile post but, watching Harry Potter 2 and it made me realize such a funny headcanon about my hp verse! Mary Poppins is so worried about Jane and Michael hanging around the fireplace in the banks home because she knows that she’s used floo powder recently in it, and there are definitely remnants of it in there lmao

TREASURE?   hmm.  mary  poppins  suddenly  expects  the  worst,  but  she  does  not  falter.  if  she’s  pleased  at  all,  it’s  not  apparent   ━━   not  behind  her  raised  brow,  her  neutral,  unrevealing  mouth,  and  her  somewhat  stern  expression.  mary  poppins  lowers  her  chin  to  look  at  the  little  (  quite  literally  )  mermaid. 

❝   Here,  ❞   mary  motions  to  the  edge  of  the  sandy  island  she’s  standing  upon,  without missing  a  beat,  where  a  flat,  well -  sized  rock  juts  out  ;  perfect  for  ariel  to  rest  upon.   ❝  You  may  come  around  and  show  me.   ❞  

[practperfection]

for reasons  ~*very unknown*~ to me (lol), mary poppins seems to always have romantic chemistry explicitly with... like... toons? or at the very least muses who are quite unusual to be paired with someone like her. she would probably have chemistry with spiritual / mythological beings too. and they are always female

Mary’s  friend  Andrew,  the  little  dog  in  the  sweater  near  the  Banks’  home  in  the  film,  is  actually  a  registered  Animagus  by  the  name  of  Andrew  Davies  (as  in  Roger  Davies,  the  Ravenclaw  that  had  attended  Hogwarts  in  the  1980s).  Andrew  was  one  of  Mary’s  closest  friends  and  housemates  during  her  time  at  school.  The  two  were  both  prefects  of  Ravenclaw  house,  and  actually  held  a  friendly  rivalry,  both  being  highly  gifted  students.  Andrew  often  watched  out  for  Mary  after  graduation,  and,  though  he  did  not  always  approve  of  her  practicing  magic  around  Muggles,  kept  a  close  eye  on   both  her  and  the  families  she  was  working  with.
