#THE DARLING OF PRESERVATION

Boardwalk through the Ferns - October 1st 2023

You see, now I’m hyper-fixated on G1 Monster High and Ever After High, mostly Ever After High, so now I want to start a rewrite AU thing of my own and use the disappearance of Hexiciah Steam’s team as a catalyst for the crossover. Like, the Evil Queen returning is Act 2 or 3 of the crossover, secret final boss type thing. Act 1 focuses on the missing steampunk dilf. I’d also reorder or cut somethings entirely from both series.

Like, the Catacombs under Monster High are a eldritch nightmare realm constructed by an ancient monster race known as the Builders. They’re near impossible to map out due to their impossible size, full of impossible illusions and tech, just random weirdness. Well, what if the impossible stuff that monster kind doesn’t understand or can’t make sense out of is the result of magic not native to monster kind? What if the Builders used some Ever After and Wonderland magic in their creations in addition to monster magic and tech? What if it spanned several realms?

And like, we’d get the ghouls investigating because Ghoulia finally made progress on her research into what happened to Professor Steam and discovered that the last report of this mad scientist was he was going to go down into the Catacombs with his team to finally prove his Builders theory correct. Cleo is extra interested and invested because the name of one of the listed team members? Her long missing mom. Also Lagoona actually comes along on an adventure for once.

On the Ever After side let’s let Darling be the one to be doing research on magical locations for a school project and figure out where the lost entrance to the Labyrinth is. Idk, some of the girls go with. Definitely Blondie for her Mirrorcast, which means Dexter’s going too because camera man. Cedar goes because of all the fantastic art that’s said to be within the Labyrinth and also “I cannot tell a lie, so if we do find the Labyrinth my word will be proof that this isn’t us pulling a hoax-us-pocus”. Apple and Raven cause we need them, they’re the main characters (and Apple and Darling need to develop together so the Dragon Games payoff is like, a payoff). I also need Briar to come because I love her and this is my self-indulgent rewrite AU thing. Also I can totally picture her telling Lagoona that Gil’s family ain’t shit, love is love, make out with that boy in front of their house while flipping them the bird. Ramona and Cerise because I want a “Werewolf? No, wolfwere” interaction and also for this whole thing to end with Ramona getting Clawdeen’s number. Enemies to lovers arc, annoying little sisters in full force, all that.

I also would want Cupid to come because I just want them all to look at her like “Cupid, you have some explaining to do”.

Idk, I could have it that later when the Evil Queen escapes via something in the Catacombs/Labyrinth it’s revealed that she manipulated things by causing the exact right people to find the exact right documentation at the exact right time. Casting spells from her mirror prison like the villainous queen she literally is.

Look man I'm tired and lowkey depressed. If a yandere wanted me they can have me as long as I can still see my mom and talk to my friends online. That's it. I have too much love to give and they can have it all. that's all I want.

crowley would literally be so happy to be dean’s soon-to-be-murdered wife. he would have a ball with it. he would take every threat as flirtation and be so secure in his place in dean’s life as affirmed by an ancient murder curse.

I need a second part to the Bingmei vs Bingge extra except Shang Qinghua's there and he and Shen Qingqiu are absolutely wasted drunk.

Like, actually speaking their opinions drunk.

The moment Bingge calls Bingmei a failure for not having a harem Shang Qinghua just says "At least our Luo Binghe is actually happy and not overcompensating for his loneliness by wooing every woman he meets, despite not having any feelings for them."

Then everyone just stares at him.

Shen Qingqiu falls down on the floor laughing.

"Some of my girls have worked with the best!"

"Yeah, and how long before they burned out?"

Do you guys think Vash would get slightly upset in the event that nobody would respond to his hellos?

Vash: Hello! Hello! Hello! 👋😄

nobody responds…

cue sad Vash noises 🥺

Yandere Vash if his darling doesn’t respond to his hellos would internally be like:

The audacity! I said hello! Why didn’t my sweet darling respond?!! 😡

Yandere Vash on the outside however:

Yan! Vash: Sweetie I said hello, why didn’t you respond?

Darling: I’m sorry! I wanted to respond but I was more worried that you stopped to say hello mid fight while you were being shot at!

Yan! Vash: Oh… um, yeah that makes sense! Heh heh 😅

Yan! Vash internally: I should probably be more aware about my situations

( 🌙 ) SHE HAS TO stand tall ( and the tips of her toes ) to rest a hand upon the soft and warmth of his cheek ; golden gaze gentle and sympathetic to what he believed. he knows , she sees it in him every day. the way he protects her when he no longer needs to , the way he makes her laugh and how it makes him smile when she does . .

one without a heart would not care for her wellbeing or any of that. she'd just be a job to him and that was it.

❛ YOU DO KNOW . . it's just difficult to dig out with all that has befallen your life , annwyl. you will find it and remember how it makes you feel 'fore you have one every single moment. everything you do has heart. ❜

You know what, I liked that Tul tried to tell Waan the truth about ... well. Knowing him via knowing Win I guess.

Sure, Waan didn't hear/listen, and I get why the charade has to keep going (clearly Waan's willingness to talk to Tul is dependent on them not really knowing each other - also it makes for some nice tension) BUT I like that he nearly immediately realized that, yeah, it would be better to be honest about that. Like he recognized that the knowledge imbalance between them impacted the relationship unfairly.

Small thing, but it has been noted and appreciated!

The struggle about posting stories that I KNOW are going to be zero-note wonders is that I have to finish them before I post them. I have to rely on myself to enjoy them enough to finish them, both because I will not be getting feedback from readers saying 'wow I'm so excited about this!!' but also my brain will interpret a lack of positive attention as people hating it instead of as a reasonable lack of interest due to writing about unpopular characters or writing in a dead fandom. This is one of the fun tricks you learn when you've been writing for over a decade.

Never before and never again would she find such a friend, who could fly Never before, never again Never-never land in the sky

She seemed so pleased, chasing the lonely boys through the trees and all the stories that she'd tell (to everyone but Tinkerbell) about Hook who tried to enslave her and the look she had when Peter saved her and that's why I wanna know, oh

When did Wendy say to Peter that I need you to fly me home, oh where I will will grow older What made Wendy go?

"Peter, what's wrong?" He'd rather say not She was his happy thought He'd think of to fly and all the way back, every last mile forced to think of her smile Peter kept them both alive

She was so fair with the fairy dust in her hair and all the pirates, they bet that he would only make it halfway back on the thought of being in love it was the one too painful to think of and that's why I need to know, oh

When did Wendy say to Peter that I need you to fly me home, oh where I will will grow older What made Wendy go?

He crash landed on a planet somewhere in the stars watching Wendy from in-between Neverland and Mars Watching Wendy grow and desperately wanting to know

have you ever thought about eating human flesh?

Hello anonnie! I can’t say the thought never crossed my mind, but it’s moreso a thought that comes and goes rather than something I outright entertain for myself.

I have heard a few tidbits about cannibalism, though I’m not sure how much of it is true to fact. Maybe drop some facts about it? The idea is something I find a bit alluring due to its implications (especially in a romantic aspect.)

I’d like to learn more about it, though this doesn’t inherently mean I’ll partake. Though who knows really? Let’s say it’s an educational opportunity.

To those who are into it, how about you share with me what motivates this desire? I’d like to pick your brain a bit. No judgment from me of course, I can’t say that what I’m into is all the more morally and ethically acceptable.

Let’s discuss about it. I’d like to learn more.
