Rourke, seeing all the attention Helga gets from both fans AND Disney:

(sigh) why couldn't I just love Helga instead, like a normal person.

[thetinyadventurer]

I just keep wondering what Atlantis: The Lost Empire would’ve been like if they’d actually kept the longer cut of the film. I would’ve loved to see more of everybody interacting with Milo and to understand their personalities more. This isn’t just for Helga and Rourke but everyone! Vinny, Sweet, Audrey, Mole, Cookie and Packard! Although yes I’d enjoy seeing Milo and Helga interact more. (internal screaming)

Disney Duel 2; Round 3 of 15: Leaders of Sci-Fi Flops

Please remember, these movies were box office flops. Trust me, it sucks to refer to Treasure Planet as anything other than a masterpiece, but it is what it is.

How successful would Commander Rourke (AU version by @systemadministratorclu )…

Propaganda for the mic skills:

He's better at public speaking than he thinks he is. He's pretty good at giving pep talks that have his team ready to go into their next insane/dangerous mission with him (the fact they respect the hell out of him doesn't hurt either.)

Propaganda for the wrestling skills:

I mean.....the man is an over 250 pound human freight train. Just look at him in the movie. He even LOOKS like he'd be a wrestler (also, he can do an RKO, according to Tumblr.)

Fandorm Showcase #22 - Atlantis The Lost Empire

Another underrated classic that flew under the TWST radar-

Introducing the wondrous and well-organized dorm inspired by Atlantis The Lost Empire...

Ulylantis!

It combines the words, ulysses (the name of the submarine in the movie) and atlantis.

This dorm focuses on tactical strategy and clever thinking, planning things thoroughly before executing them in action. They are also very curious about the wonders of what Twisted Wonderland will bring upon their discovery. Due to the dorm leader's military background, students in this dorm have to go through rigorous training to improve their reflexes and physical resilience. They specialize in advanced combat magic and defense magic.

"A dorm founded on the Expedition Commander's spirit of curiosity. Students in this dorm wishes to discover hidden secrets and share it with the world about their research."

Requirements and Traits:

Pragmatic and efficient with tasks

Ambitious about discovering something new

Tactically smart in planning

Dorm Uniform Design:

I used a lot of the camo print for this one, cuz it really screams military theme to me.

Character Roster:

Attention! The housewardeness of Ulylantis has arrived!

Lexi Taggert! (Twisted off Lyle Tiberius Rourke)

Lexi Taggert is a commanding and calculating leader whose sharp intellect and unyielding ambition make her a force to be reckoned with. As the junior dorm leader of Ulylantis, Lexi possesses a natural charisma and an authoritative presence that commands respect, if not always admiration.

Lexi thrives in high-pressure situations, excelling at strategic planning and rallying her dormmates to accomplish even the most daunting goals. She is fiercely pragmatic, prioritizing efficiency and results over sentimentality. While she values teamwork, her approach often feels transactional, as she expects competence and loyalty in return for her guidance. Despite her polished exterior, Lexi is driven by an insatiable hunger for success and recognition. She’s not afraid to take risks or make morally gray decisions if it means achieving her objectives. Beneath her composed demeanor lies a fiery determination born from a past of being underestimated, which fuels her desire to prove herself as a leader who can stand against any challenge.

Lexi’s ruthlessness is tempered by her respect for those who show genuine skill and ingenuity. Though she can seem cold and detached, she secretly admires those with the courage to stand their ground, even against her. Her biggest flaw is her inability to let go of control, as she often sees trust as a vulnerability rather than a strength, and would often punish those who failed to meet her expectations.

Notable Members:

Holt Schmidt (Vice Housewarden, Junior) - A sleek and enigmatic individual who prioritizes getting the job done in record time rather than unnecessary delays, always making decisions on his own instead of getting unanimous agreements. (Twisted off Helga Sinclair)

Cormac Adams (Sophomore) - A quiet and serious "soldier" who doesn't fool around and always does what he is told by anyone with higher status than him. (Twisted off Rourke's Mercenaries)

K.E.O. (???) - An ancient-looking mechanical figure who has been recently awoken within the walls of Ulylantis, having no recollection of what its purpose was and have to be supervised and observed by Lexi, but it contains a lot of knowledge about an undiscovered secret. (Twisted off the heart of Atlantis)

Synopsis:

It is history class with Professor Trein in Night Raven College, as he is explaining to the class about the history of a sunken civilization that used to be technologically advanced than any society in existence, but was soon forgotten when waters flooded the city and sunk it to the bottom of the ocean. To further teach this history class, Trein enlists the help of the housewardeness of Ulylantis, Lexi Taggert to lead a field trip group to the research site (chaperoned by Trein, of course), to which ALL the students in the class have to attend, our main protagonists included.

Shenanigans ensue as they discover secrets that were hidden away all these years.

Submitting my AU canon-divergent Commander Rourke from Atlantis the Lost Empire.

I have a fic series with him (I'm sorry, I couldn't decide which one best showed his character.) And I RP him here, so he has an info page.

I really hope people give him a chance, because he's very different from his canon counterpart.

WE HAVE OUR FIRST AU CHARACTER!!

As OP has said, this is an AU version of a character. Please do not judge them based on the canon version of them.

How does one dude in a silly hat make so many different expressions that all say "I'm sleep deprived and so done with y'all's bullshit"

(I love this goofy dork. And his silly hat)

Commander Lyle Rourke x SecondLieutenant!Lover!Reader || Drabble

Plot: You're being honourably discharged and Rourke tries to cut you loose like a military man. Clean, swift, easy. He doesn't want to miss you at all.

He tries.

"One day, you'll choke on it." "Goddamnit."

Warnings: Angst and smut mentions. Unedited.

"Calm down. Its not like we were in love, darlin'."

As soon as those unsurprisingly cruel words crawl out of Rourke's mouth, his heavy and measured drawl like a knife to the gut that makes you stop short in your spot. Your eye widen and your lips part and for a moment you cant think of one single word to utter back to him; all you can feel is heartbroken.

Rourke's never surprised, you know that. But he certainly wasn't expecting that look on your face. Because you didn't realise it was anything near love, either- not until he said that. And you felt something in you snap.

His mouth is still tight, a tooth-pick tucked into his teeth and his eyebrows permanently furrowed but you see his fists clench at his sides. That tells you he's not completely unbothered by what's breaking between you two, but in true Rourke-fashion he still doesn't allow it to show. Like nothing bothers him. Sniffling, you look crossly to the side; you think you'd be unable to look at him, without screaming. Surely he cant keep that up forever. He has to break over this. He's going to miss you, you know it.

"I cant even believe... " The words lip out of you at a whisper, before you clear your throat and speak up. "Maybe... maybe we didn't date. You didn't introduce me to anyone with your hand on my back or- or tucking my hair behind my ear. Maybe we ate together over maps and campfires, not at restaurants. And we had to pretend we've never seen each other naked,.. But I've been your second lieutenant for years, and it was something. You know it. And to- to belittle it like that- I just- God- " You have to stop talking. You have to stop. So you hold a hand over your mouth and take a deep breath, closing your eyes and counting to ten. You cant even describe how terrible him saying those words is, you cant put it into words.

After a moment, Rourke gives a put-on sigh, and shrugs. "... Look, sweetheart, you were a good squeeze, don't get me wrong. I'm gonna miss you." Wincing at his disingenuous words, you fight to stay quiet. "But its over, now, alright? You're bein' discharged, which means we aint gonna see each other anymore. Here," Rourke raises his large hand before your eyes, assumedly for you to shake- a small sincere gesture, but its too little and too late. Giving another sniffle, you once again look away; a stubborn and sad look on your face. "Its been nice."

" -its been nice!?" You snap immediately, turning viciously back to him with a fire in your eyes. 2 years of seeing each other every day, going through the motions of everything together and sleeping together-- was 'nice'!?

"Well, yeah." He's still seeming unimpressed; pretending like nothing bothers him, and you're starting to realise that that's not going to change. You cant teach an old dog new tricks.

"Rourke- I- " Finally, you take a deep breath in through your nose; and let it out. You try to let out all your feelings for him, too. Doesn't work too well. "Fine. Deal with this... however you want. If you wanna leave it like this, enjoy. I don't- I don't care." You do, you do, you do, though!- The wobble at your lips gives you away. He definitely sees it, the frown on his mouth getting tighter and the furrow in his brows becoming deeper at the sight. "... But you know what you're giving up. One day, you'll choke on it."

With that, you turn on your heel and storm off, never wanting to see him again. You make it to the door, your fist tight around the doorknob and ready to swing it open them slam it closed again when you hear his voice behind you.

"Goddamnit."

You're fighting against the urge to turn around and find out what that means, fighting to keep going and put him as far behind you as you possibly can, when that choice is taken from you. A large hand wraps around your wrist and you're turned back around manually. You watch him flick the toothpick off to the side and before you know it, Rourke draws you in close and your eyes fall shut out of instinct and he seals his lips with yours in a deep, passionate kiss.

Its a better kiss then you have ever shared before; its not a desperate stolen tongue-kiss because no one else is looking, its not a slow dirty lead-up to sex, its not a peck on the forehead that you pretend didn't happen because it was too close- too soft- too affectionate.

Its a lovers kiss. Neither racing towards a finish nor nervous at all. Just a kiss, between two people who have done it a million times before. It says i love you.

When he pulls back, theirs a huskiness in his voice as he glares at you with his eyes; a gentle contradictory smirk on his mouth an inch away. "... hold on, there. You drive a hard bargain, ex lieutenant, and I gotta give it a think."

Edit i did for my newest fic: Rourke as a shift manager/drive-thru cashier at Cookie's fast food restaurant, The Chuckwagon.

Lo, I have a manager that makes this exact face all the time.

wtf, he even looks hot in a fast food uniform!

[thetinyadventurer]

It’s a Monday, early morning and I didn’t get much sleep. I AM FEELING THIS EXPRESSION IN THE DEPTHS OF MY SOUL! -irritated demon screeching-

[systemadministratorclu]

Sir, why are you not ever shirtless fucking beautiful? take your shirt off! (please)

[could-they-be-a-pro-wrestler]

Oh what the hell.

Submitting my AU canon-divergent Commander Rourke from Atlantis the Lost Empire.

I really hope people give him a chance, because he's very different from his canon counterpart.

If it means anything here, he was worthy to possess the power of Thor. His canon counterpart was not (Canon WAS, however, the lowest percentage of Yes votes, which is funny to me for some reason.)

BONUS POLL: ROURKE FIGHT, AU VERSION VS. CANON VERSION

This was suggested by the same friend on Discord who suggested I start this blog, and I'm honestly kinda curious to see what happens (though based on their Hammer Trials, I think I can guess.)

Info on AU version: here (he belongs to @systemadministratorclu, who also did the image edit of him)

Canon version: you already know, and if you don't, Google/Wikipedia/something does.

[EDIT]: Assume both have the exact same military training/background. Because they do. (Knew I forgot something.)

This has no bearing on their Hammer trials, this is solely for the amusement of Hammer Mod and others.
