Ok after that Lion King rant I'm here to add a part two of my Firstprince Simba Nala parallel because BOY DO I LOVE FINDING PARALLELS
We have the Bedroom Eyes TM
and then there's pouncing
(the lion king gif is a little slower than it actually is in the movie but you get the idea, also in the video Simba makes a ... sound when he hits the ground which baby me didn't not notice but 19.5 year old me noticed and ... doesn't know what to think)
And then we have... yeah I don't know how to name this one but you see the point
gif from tylerposey
Well I'm happy to know that my taste in ships has never ever changed 😂

Ideas for Villainous Characters for your Yuusona / Ocs in Twisted Wonderland
To help fanfic writers and artists, I thought I’d make a list of characters/items that creators could use to make their own twst characters. Feel encouraged to add if you have any ideas as well! The bigger the list, the better!
These are all things that present a challenge to the heroes in the Disney films or are connected to an antagonistic force, such as the poison apple being connected to the Evil Queen, or are just shown in a wicked light, such as the vultures from the same movie who just follow the queen looking devious.
Below are things that feature from the main animated features that feature in Twst; Alice in Wonderland, The Lion King, etc. But aren’t technically taken. Other animated movies, live action, games, and etc. will get their own list.
(Someone else will have to do the sequels and remakes. I suffered the sequels enough and the remakes--well, I'd rather leave them to others.)
Alice in Wonderland:
*The King of Hearts
*The Walrus
*The Carpenter
*Any of the Flowers
The Lion King:
*The Hyenas that weren't used in the story
*The Wildebeests that killed Mufasa (Debatable as they were forced into a panic by the hyenas)
*The elephant graveyard (note: this is a location in the Savana Event)
*The fire that nearly kills Simba and whose embers give Scar an advantage
The Little Mermaid:
*Vanessa (Ursula’s other form)
*The necklace that held Ariel’s voice
*The Contract (Note: Technically used as Azul’s unique Magic)
*The Storm (beginning and end)
*The Shark
*The Chef (Debatable)
*The “unfortunate Souls” (debatable)
Aladdin:
*The Guards
*The Cave of Wonders
*The Scarab that took Jafar to the cave
*Jafar’s snake Form
*Jafar’s Genie form. (Note: Used as Jamil’s over blot)
*Iago (Debatable)
*Jafar’s Staff
*The lamp that traps Jafar in the end
*The hourglass that nearly drowns Jasmine
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs:
*The Vultures
*The Woods that frighten Snow White in the beginning
*The Hag Form (Note: Vil’s phantom takes the form of the hag)
*The Potion that made the Evil Queen old
**Any of the components to make the potion may work
*The Heart Box
*The raven that played witness to the potion-making
Hercules:
*The Three Fates (Note: These Gals are mentioned as superstars who are older than they look, like Lilia)
*Pain
*Panic
*Meg (debatable)
*The Hydra
*The potion that made Hercules mortal
*Any of the Titans
*The Centaur
*Any of the beasts Hercules fought during "Zero to Hero"
*The Souls of the Underworld (debatable and note: these seem to be represented as Phantoms)
Sleeping Beauty:
*Diablo (Note: Theorized to be Crowley, but no confirmation at the time of this post)
*Any of Maleficent’s minions (Note: Two are taken by Lilia and Baul)
*The Spinning Wheel
*The Thorns
*Maleficent’s Fire
*Maleficent’s staff (Note: This may be an item that appears in Chapter 7)
*The Death Curse itself (Note: In the original Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent cursed Rose to DIE. The Sleeping Curse was actually placed by Merry-weather to SAVE her. Maleficent just rolled with it to create a fate worse than death.)
