K concept~ The Queen of Queendom of Rose: Rose Rouge II
Huuh I wasn't expecting so soon a Queendom of roses event.....*also seeing Malleus's mommyy..gaww Mallenoa...Mallenoire.....huuuh)
Anyway I though it was a good time to share my own vision of the Queen!
-Information-
Full Name - Rose Rouge II
Nicknames - Rosie
Age - 68
Home Country - Queendom of Roses
Hair Colour - Red
Eye Colour - Red
Height - 168 cm
Relationship Status - Married- 8 children
Personality - Absurd, kind and strict
Unique magic - Unknown
“Oh oh oh oh, it's tea time! Ladies, gentlemen put your teacup!!”
-Trivia-
Dominate Hand - Right
Favourite Food - Tea Party
Least Favourite Food - Snails
Likes - Her queendom, her subject, rabbit, and magic being with fairies
Dislikes - Rude people, racism against magical being
Hobbies - Tea parties, beautiful set invitation handmading and gardening
Talents - Croquet
”I will not tolerate such behavior against magic related, next time it will be OFF WITH YOUR HEAD”
Her personality is bubbly, absurd, crazy but she is one of the kindest person you could met.
The Rouge legacy has a deep connection with Briar Valley, they still protect and deeply respect magical being.
The Queen knows the name of every subjects in her Queendom. Making people calling her "Big Head" outside of the country. Her country is also feared for all absurdity you could find there.
She hides a tea set in her dress, ready to claim tea time whenever she wants.
The fairy Gala takes place every year in her town, but once it happened at NRC... Rose cried for about a month and kept calling Crowley to sue him!! Asking him "What's the difference between a crow and a desk?" before hunging up.
She uses affectionate pronoun like darling to everyone.
She doesn't let peoples finish their sentences and is too engrossed in her own fantasy.
She considered herself a closed aquaintance to Queen Maleficia, she also visits Briar valley quiet often (for a human) but Maleficia always kept her staying short and send her back with a boat full of roses.
She wants peace beetween inter species. And defy magical authority (Magic ministry) to let magic runs free along everyone here, she is also the first queen to have adknowledged the right to "alchemy being born baby" under supervisions and strict rules.
Her fashion designer is the Devil's house, with Cruella De Vil and her nephew Divus Crewel.
She's twisted from The Queen of Heart and the King of Heart.
She's a mage but doesn't use magical stone, her use of magic is based on former magic regulation lost during "the lost century".
She has 8 childrens, 4 pairs of twins.
She loves her husband but sometimes forgets him or doesn't see him right next to her.

Cruella De Vil v The Headless Horseman
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda:
Cruella:
"1st off her entire motivation is literally that she wants to kill puppies, nothing else. 2nd off her name is just Cruel Devil, spelt weird. 3rd, the car chase scene, where her eyes start doing the crazy spiral thing as she crashes into everything? Peak unhinged behavior, nightmare inducing"
The Headless Horseman:
"A huge fan of cutting off people's heads, the best Evil Laugh ever, sore loser when a dude crosses a bridge and throws a pumpkin at him"

Helmut Zemo as a fashion designer/Suitkovia AU fic ideas and prompts! Some featuring Bucky. Idk why I love this AU so much but inspiration hit. Pls tag me if you use or get inspired by any of these! I’d love to read it! 💜
1. He’s sort of a mix between Miranda Priestly from Devil Wears Prada and Cruella De Vil from 101 Dalmatians (minus the make puppies into a coat thing). Zemo is either a widower or divorced with a son, Carl. Reader is the fresh new intern/second assistant who at first seems very naive, like a walking fashion faux pas and a total disaster. Everyone expects her to be fired soon, but Zemo keeps her on and as she transforms into a better version of herself and becomes his favorite intern/second assistant, she slowly breaks through that cold and cynical exterior of his and they fall in love.
2. Zemo’s upcoming designs were leaked then premiered by a rival designer of his through fault of reader’s relative. (“You had one job and you failed. Details of your incompetence do not interest me.”) This leak cost Zemo millions, so under threat of incarceration/a crippling lawsuit reader’s family can’t afford, reader’s first task is to come up with new designs within 30 days or some crazy deadline to make up for the ones that were leaked. She becomes an indentured employee and has to work for Zemo, and a fraction of what she would’ve earned for her work is deducted from her paychecks, in order to pay off the debt her family incurred from the design theft. But then uh oh what if they catch feelings? After all, it’d take months or years to pay off that debt.
3. Reader has an identical twin sister who works as the latest cover model for Zemo. Your sister respects him as her employer, but she can’t stand him as a person, believing him too narcissistic or too megalomaniacal. Something unexpected happens in your sister’s life that makes her ask (more like beg) you to switch places as Zemo’s cover model and pretend to be her just for a few weeks. Nobody will even notice and Zemo especially won’t since he’s so busy and traveling all the time, she assured you. But modeling is much harder than you thought it would be. You’re camera shy and awkward, and things get more tense when Zemo changes his schedule and ends up getting more involved during the shoots and run throughs, directing the photographers and acting as head stylist.
He just thinks your “behavior shift” is a new technique your sister’s using to give off the shy, coy flirtatious look and he loves it. He wants more of it. The longer you pretend to be your sister, the more you and Zemo bond and break down his walls as he opens up to you. You develop a friendship which may turn romantic. When it comes time for you and your sister to switch back before her trip abroad for Fashion Week, the situation becomes complicated as Zemo is left wondering why he’s suddenly getting the cold shoulder and strictly professional treatment as if nothing’s happened. Why won’t you let him hold your hand or kiss you? He thinks he’s in love with your sister, but it’s you. It’s always been you. And the woman in front of him now is not you. And he isn’t aware of what you and your sister had done.
4. You're a tailor, working with only the richest and most famous of clients. You're in the middle of measuring your latest client when you accidentally press your fingers along his shoulder in the wrong spot while using the measuring tape and his left arm falls off.
(Possible AU where Zemo is a world renowned high-end fashion designer and you’re his adult daughter who falls in love with hot shot A-list actor Bucky when he comes into the office/shop for a suit. The more he comes in for repairs or adjustments, you start to think he’s purposely damaging his clothes as an excuse to see you. Your father doesn’t want you to date him for any number of reasons but you go against his wishes and it’s a secret love affair. OR a love triangle/Poly story between Zemo, Bucky, and you, where you work for Zemo but both of these highly famous and wealthy men want you.)
5. Your parents left you a tailoring business when they passed. You discover your parents were the creators of the most iconic superhero costumes in the world. Super heroes exist. All your childhood heroes are alive and fighting crime. You are not a hero nor do you have powers. Except your ability to tailor and repair damaged hero uniforms. A frequent customer enters your shop for repairs and you've had enough. The hero's costume was terrible. The townspeople think so, their dog thinks so, their sidekick is embarrassed to be seen with them, the villain stops his attack to comment on their fashion sense, and even the news reporter says their costume is bad.
6. Fantasy/hitman AU: You have recently inherited an old and well made wardrobe, along with a personal tailor from a family will. This wardrobe always has the clothes it turns out you’d most need on any given day; A dress or suit for an impromptu business opportunity, etc. Today, however, a bulletproof vest hangs within. And this tailor comes with skills that are said to be incomparable to anyone else's. “Just because I'm a hitman doesn't mean I can't be a good tailor.”
7. Zemo, A fashion designer, hires Bucky, a con man, to help sell his new collection at an upcoming fashion show. "Do you want to milk your guests for all the money they have or do you want to leave a good memory?" Bucky asks.
"Can I do both?"
The con man laughs, "Absolutely, here is what you do….” Reader is either a model, designer, or intern who gets roped in. Possible poly relationship or chaotic partners in crime trio.
Tumblr media
8. Ghost AU: Being an aspiring fashion historian, you actively seek vintage clothing. You somehow managed to coax out a corset from a collector, however, as soon as you wear it, things start to go haywire, as the corset has a life of its own. Of course, it is harbouring a vengeful spirit! So When you first saw the ghost appear behind you in the mirror, you ran screaming. The second time, you were afraid, but you realised he didn't want to hurt you. Now you're both friends, and he often gives you helpful fashion advice. A horror movie where the only horror is the fashion choices.
9. Spy/Crime AU: You work for a cute little boutique as a seamstress. You are highly skilled, best known for your high-quality evening/formal wear and handbags. You typically cater to affluent businessmen and the like. Recently, an atypical customer stopped into your shop with a strange request and a LOT of money. How can you refuse? You're closing up the shop for the night when you see five men walk in through the front door and lock it behind them. You’re very surprised when one of the men go to an inconspicuous framed picture hanging on the wall. It’s just a picture of flowers or something generic, what’s so special— oh. He turns it counter-clockwise, revealing a secret passageway behind a one-way mirror.
After he performs the typical eye and hand scan, you’re ordered to follow. Turns out this “cute little boutique” has been a front for special operatives for many years. In their secret meeting place, they give you your new alias and the run down of your first assignment. You've been tasked with a special project: 12 poison-laced sweaters to go with a poison-laced dress. Later, You receive a knock at the door and an important looking man in a black tailored suit hands you a sealed envelope with your name on it. You open it to find a check written to your name for $65 million with the note, "Let's do this" in the memo.
10. Reader is the new PR intern/publicist for an anti-hero seamstress who specializes in making costumes for supervillains. What reader didn’t know is that the interview was actually a ruse to find the perfect doppelgänger. Reader is selected as the body double to get the seamstress out of an arranged marriage with her rival fashion designer and supervillain, Helmut Zemo. When you do finally meet him, you can’t help but think this guy's so boring. Too subtle. But your instincts as a journalist tell you something else is going on with him.
11. Bucky is the personal assistant and bodyguard of the reader, a famous fashion designer. The media knows that you have this intense long-standing rivalry against another fashion designer, Helmut Zemo. It means Bucky has done his job well since he’s secretly paid to hide the 'rivals’' secret dates and relationship from the public by perpetuating this false narrative of a never-ending animosity between you two.
12. Spy/Crime/Political Espinoage AU: You’re the Secret Service's Secret Seamstress. It’s your responsibility to protect the President from any possible wardrobe malfunction (ripped trousers, food stains, sweat marks, etc.) while in the public eye. You must take precautions before and during any large event. You unwittingly cross paths with Helmut Zemo, codename V. He’s a special kind of tailor, a man who not just fits clothes but also weapons for assassins and wet workers. He’s now getting ready to tailor the men who are about to start a revolution, the assassination of the world leaders. Other key players among this revolution are James “Bucky” Barnes, codename Winter and Sam Wilson, codename Falcon. And since you were in the wrong place at the wrong time and are now a witness, the only way these men keep you alive is if you become involved in the conspiracy and join their team. Perhaps they’ll fake your death and give you a new identity to go along with their newest round of aliases. You could be a sparrow, a secret agent trained in the act of seduction.
13. You work for Helmut Zemo and are the only person to not filter yourself around him. You’re not starstruck or intimidated by him in the slightest. He keeps you on because your brutal honesty is refreshing when he’s surrounded by fake smiles and major suck ups. The constant fawning and groveling gets old. You whip him back into shape whenever he’s being difficult. “Remind me again why I should feel bad for you? You got a supermodel wife that practically worships the ground you stand on, you have enough money to buy the whole country of New Zealand, and you live in the most expensive house on the planet! C’mon, man. You’re famous, handsome, and rich. So chop, chop, fix your hair and let’s get going.” God, he loves you. He hasn’t admitted it to you yet, but he’s been thinking of divorcing his trophy wife and marrying you instead. He might start an extramarital affair with you if he gets too impatient. It’s not like his wife is faithful to him anyway, their farce of a marriage is wide open.
14. Mean Girls inspired AU: You’re an aspiring fashion designer just like your famous and influential father, Helmut Zemo. But under his orders you’ve just been transferred from homeschooling to a prestigious private school for rich kids - with the most drab and boring wardrobe choices ever made. After your bodyguard, Bucky, drops you off at school, You fall in with a group of ‘mean girls’ on your first day. You, a self-proclaimed fashion guru, are dropped into a new world and challenge all your new peers’ questionable fashion choices - from hair to clothing, form and function. From there, you start to get into all kinds of teenage trouble: skipping school, partying, underage drinking, etc. Until one day you and your new girlfriends decide to ignore/stretch the limits of the school’s arbitrary dress code by redesigning the uniform and showing it off at school. Even if your transgressions land you detention or suspension and gets you in heaps of trouble with your dad, Bucky will back you up at least…You hope.
Tumblr media
15. Sort of Pretty Woman inspired Sugar Daddy AU: You finally see him, the head of the fashion police: Helmut Zemo. And he’s caught you red handed in the middle of the street. “Did you steal my old clothes from the dumpster?"
"Sorry if I can't walk into a boutique and ask the clerk 'Excuse me, do you happen to have this $4,500 designer luxury Louis Vutton dress in the next size up?’ or throw away a $3,000 Prada suit and briefcase like it’s nothing.”
“I could call the police on you— Wait. Turn around. Let me get a good look at you.” Great, you’ve just met the guy and he’s already ordering you around and inspecting you like a prize cow at auction. “Here’s my offer: If you can pretend to be my girlfriend for the week and attend a few events with me, I’ll let this go and buy you whatever you want. You can talk with my stylist. He might be able to give you something to wear so that I don’t need to burn my eyes out every time I look at you. Do we have a deal? It doesn’t hurt anyone to give just an ounce of effort, you know.” Ok so he’s kind of a classist asshole, but you’ll take it since he’s offered you $3,000 and a new wardrobe to start. How hard can it be to act like arm candy?
16. Zemo is interested in curves and designs clothes for plus sized women. His models have to be size 12 or up. Bucky, his first assistant, has recently scouted you, a little miss nobody from down the street for the new cover model job. Zemo goes through first and second assistants quickly, but Bucky has managed to stay on the longest, so Zemo trusts his judgment. His last 9 assistants were all disappointments, to say the least. But he ultimately has the final say. You’ve just been brought in to meet him face to face for the first time. He looks at you over the rim of his glasses.
“Who’s this? The new option for the cover campaign. I told you I wanted a new look. One that says beautiful but also intellectual. Have you finally brought me a muse that can think as well as they look?”
“This isn’t about being the skinniest model or the prettiest model. This is an intellectual shoot. I want it to be different. I don’t want-“ He lets out a short exasperated sigh. “Let’s just say if I wanted another pretty face, I would’ve chosen from the next, what, twenty models that are standing outside of my office hoping to get a job. You know that many would kill to be in your position?”
17. Twilight Zone After Hours/Evening Primrose inspired AU: Reader is Helmut Zemo’s daughter and has lived in a shopping mall with him and the rest of her “family” who all consist of living mannequins. Or inanimate mannequins by day, living humans by night. Night at the Museum logic.
Reader discovers a man on the run, Bucky Barnes, has broken in and taken refuge from the world by hiding out in a department store. The leader of the group is Helmut Zemo, Reader’s adoptive father. Zemo permits Bucky to stay after Reader takes responsibility for him, advocating that he’ll be useful and she’ll keep him in line. Zemo spares Bucky’s life but warns him against doing anything foolish. Wherever Bucky goes, someone will always be watching. even if it’s not Zemo and even if it’s daylight. Over time, Bucky becomes smitten with Reader during their nightly visits.
Reader has lived in the mall since she got lost and separated from her ‘other mother’ as a child. Her memory is foggy but she believes she was once human, resurrected by Zemo in a new body through the same Pygmalion-esque means as he and all the other living mannequins. She has since been taken in as Zemo’s daughter after he lost his previous family, created in what he describes as the ‘perfect image of the daughter he and his lost wife never had.’
Reader is unhappy and wants to leave for good, but is afraid of the ‘Dark Men’, people who live in a nearby mortuary and work for her father. They’re hardly ever seen, but their overarching presence is still felt. Like an omniscient shadow that looks over them. Should someone try to return to the outside world and risk revealing the group's existence, the Dark Men take them away and another mannequin appears in their place. Reader tries to tell Bucky about her life when she was human, before her transformation, but realizes that most of her memories from before have been replaced with fabricated childhood memories as Zemo’s daughter. Her past self is practically gone. Bucky comes up with a plan while playing cards with Zemo and other mannequins, and Reader finally decides to leave with him. Bucky is initially reluctant to leave his now-comfortable life, but then understands that he loves Reader more than most things and they plan to elope. If there’s a way to turn mannequins human for the night, surely there’s a way to turn the mannequins human permanently! But then Zemo and the others hear their plans, and they call the Dark Men, as Reader and Bucky try to escape.
18. Spy AU: Something major has been going on in the underground crime world, and you’re asked to intern under Agent Zemo and go undercover to find out what it is. You're a tailor, spy master and survivalist who has both designed and worn state of the art disguises/outfits that allow you to conceal microphones, cameras, weapons, and anything else you may need according to the mission. Zemo is your boss and senior agent/director by night, and his cover as a fashion designer by day works well. He provides you with only the latest and best in his fashion lines, both for everyday and espionage. The latest tasks of which is impersonating a celebrity/socialite and designing a dress to be worn by a female spy at the World Summit as a bugging device so they can get very important intel.
The trouble is, the intended agent can’t perform the job for whatever reason. And you’re the only other woman with a close enough resemblance. So it looks like it has to be you, or else the whole operation is a bust. The closer you seem to get to uncovering the truth, the weirder things get. Zemo begins acting very strangely, when he starts receiving threats from anonymous persons - Magazine cut out notes urging him to work faster, untraceable phone calls with modulated voices, dead flowers, etc. You and he begin to piece the mystery together, but will either of you live long enough to see it through?
19. Journalist AU: You’re a journalist who’s been tasked by your chief editor to get an interview with Helmut Zemo, the country’s hottest fashion designer on the market. Every time you think you have a good story, a competitor gets to it first, so your workplace has been on your ass about getting this exclusive interview. Too bad Zemo is a very elusive and private man who doesn’t do many interviews, autograph sessions, or anything like that. He keeps to himself, outright refusing and slipping away from any news outlets no matter how hard they try to corner him. Your boss pitches a new idea: Zemo has never met you, so he has no idea what you look like. If you can go undercover, gain his trust, and find out everything you can about his personal and business life, then you’ll be promoted. A man like him must have secrets. You’re very attractive and intelligent, so if anyone can do this, it’s you.
When you do meet him for the first time, it’s not at a big fancy runway event or a rich person’s house party, but rather a coffee shop, a dog park, or somewhere else that’s common. He’s disguised in basic casual clothes and eyeglasses. In this outfit, he’s the little gray man. He looks so forgettable that nobody even recognizes him. Huh. Guess the drab “Clark Kent” disguise actually works. You get to talking and he doesn’t tell you who he is, even though you already know. He only says that he works “In retail” when you ask what he does for a living. You don’t tell him where you work or what you do either. Only that you’re at a “desk job”. But then uh oh when you and Zemo catch feelings for each other and what started off as pretend becomes real. Uh oh when Zemo feels hurt and betrayed after he finds out the truth about why you got close to him and that your “fateful meeting” was actually all a set up for your exposé piece.
20. You're a thug-for-hire guarding a warehouse for your boss, Helmut Zemo. And good thing, too: a mild-mannered journalist just tried to break in, but you knocked them out before they could cause any trouble. You decide to search their pockets for loose change--and have just found their superhero uniform and ID. (Journalist could be Bucky or whoever you want)
21. Zemo’s business empire is completely centered around his cold and ruthless persona. You’re a journalist who took up a job at a local tabloid for a quick source of cash between jobs. You’ve caught him secretly doing something nice, and on top of that, he was being nice to children. The story is due to come out tomorrow, and will ruin Zemo financially if it does. He must stop you.

We need to talk about the bastard trio more again 🥺
Imagine how pressed Gyro must feel to see Sadie Mae be much more cheerful and open to people who aren’t him or like him
Like, she’s more soft around Johnny, (side note: Johnny watching his boyfriend fuck these other men must be like -_-)
She’s clings to M&M and Godot whenever they’re around
Shows maybe he’s the problem, not her
Cause again, she’s not as stand offish and mean as she always seems in these asks. She’s only like that when it comes to family stuff and when she’s on the streets, her stand offish thing is a front she puts up.
She’s a sweet girl on the inside, and she’s very chill while being “perfectly wretched”
If you watched Cruella, her personality is very similar to Estella as well as a bit of OG cruella de vill from the animated version (accept she loves animals)
At first, Gyro probably doesn't see that his attitude towards Sadie-Mae and his non-existent relationship with her mom is the problem. He probably chalks Sadie-Mae's moody behavior up to be cause by her childishness. Johnny, however, sees something very different. It's only when Johnny talks with Gyro about Sadie-Mae and speaks his mind does Gyro begin to listen. He's slow to realize why Sadie-Mae is how she is, and in the end (after the kidnapping), it's like Gyro has turned over a new leaf and tries harder to take an active (and kinder) role in Sadie-Mae's life.
Can you imagine Godot saying something dark in his usual cryptic, poetic way, and when Sadie-Mae hears it, she like instantly understands and agrees with him? I just thought it was funny to have a young 30-something year old man say something dark in a poetic way, that most other adults don't understand, then there's this little 7 year old girl who hears him and goes, "Yep, I understand exactly what you mean. That's just the way life is." Like, ???????? A little girl has gone through it???? It worries Godot a little bit. Then there's M&M who realizes how dark things are getting and tries to introduce a bit of sunshine with tea and confections.
Is Sadie-Mae like Miranda Priestly from the Devil Wears Prada? She's a very chill, soft-spoken person who carries authority, is feared, and takes no shit from others. She can be standoffish and snobby. Tell me more about this dichotomy of Sadie-Mae. What does she mean by "perfectly wretched"? I believe you also said that she would find Jake Marshall amusing. Does she get along with him just like with Godot and Johnny?

Cruella (2021)
Directed by Craig Gillespie, this movie is a live-action prequel to the 1961 animated Walt Disney film One Hundred and One Dalmatians (and the 1996 live-action retelling), starring Emma Stone in the titular role.
Other stars of the film include: Emma Thompson, Paul Walter Hauser, Joel Fry and Mark Strong. The canine stars include: a mutt named Buddy, a Chihuahua named Wink and a trio of Dalmatians.
The movie is an origin story/reimagining of the life of an aspiring fashion designer named Estella, who develops a nefarious ego by the name of Cruella. The film is also focused on the rivalry between her and highly esteemed fashion tycoon Baroness von Hellman (Emma Thompson) as well as her association with thieves Jasper (Joel Fry) and Horace (Paul Walter Hauser).
This particular film has two Emmas that are unbelievably enthralling. Emma Stone is both superb as Estella and extravagant as Cruella. She plays the two sides of her character in a way that’s irresistibly exciting to watch. What’s more, in terms of character development, Stone’s version of Cruella (though still a wicked genius) is more human as a calm, reserved person, unlike the shrieking, maniacal villain of the original story. At the same time, Estella’s ambitions are somewhat similar to Abigail Hill in The Favourite. Emma Thompson is incredibly brilliant as head of the fashion industry whose narcissistic behavior is somewhat reminiscent to Miranda Priestly from The Devil Wears Prada. She even plays a central role in Estella’s transformation into Cruella. Together, Stone and Thompson fasten their horns for a two-woman show (as opposed to a one-woman show) where their characters engage in an artistic competition to become fashion legends. Even Paul Walter Hauser (who speaks in a Cockney accent) is quite hilarious as Horace tries to figure out “the angle” of Estella’s main purpose in life.
As for the dogs, they each have a trait equivalent to the personality of each owner. Buddy, a stray adopted by Estella, assists her daily activities; he is also proof that Cruella isn’t a dog killer (as many people assume). Wink is the pickpocket of the group as he can easily steal wallets to help Estella, Horace and Jasper finance their self-made business. The Dalmatians not only harken back to the animated movie, but as the Baroness’ pets, they are expressive (through CGI) as they are pretty vicious around strangers, hence Cruella’s strange fascination of them. On that note, a few references to the animated movie are shown. One example is Horace watching dog owners who appear to resemble their dogs. Hint: keep an eye out for some more in a mid-credits scene.
Although Disney has been relying on a specific number of visuals for each live-action remake, this one revolves mostly around the costumes. The story begins with Estella born in the signature black-and-white hair of Cruella. As she matures, she dyes her hair red to conceal her identity while dressed in cool punk outfits. When Emma Stone is first seen as Cruella, she is literally black, white and red all over. As Cruella begins to take over, Estella wears flamboyant clothing as a symbol of the fiercely provocative artistry of her alter ego. She’d even use her Cruella persona to upstage the Baroness at every fashion show, gaining notoriety from her childhood friend Anita Darling, a gossip columnist. The Baroness wears divine attire (especially Dior) as a symbol of dominance and establishment. Her hair is done in numerous styles as well. The overall design of each clothing won the film an Oscar for Best Costume Design.
The story takes place in 1970s London during the punk rock movement. Every background reflects the delinquent lifestyle of Cruella in terms of culture. The setting even represents the cutthroat environment of Estella’s upbringing (which director Craig Gillespie included in a previous directorial project known as I, Tonya). She was originally the subject of ridicule, pushing her to total madness, before she finds herself orphaned as a child. She then turns to a life of crime with Jasper and Horace, becoming an expert in grifting. Her fashion skills not only help her survive, but she is able to thrive. When Estella is hired to work for the Baroness, who runs a glamorous yet intimidating business, she plays the role of devoted employee while concocting different schemes to take down her boss/rival.
The soundtrack contains a collection of hit songs from both the ‘60s and ‘70s. The track list includes: “Whisper, Whisper” by The Bee Gees, “She’s a Rainbow” by The Rolling Stones, “Five to One” by The Doors, “Feeling Good” by Nina Simone, “Fire” by Ohio Players, “Stone Cold Crazy” by Queen, “Car Wash” by Rose Royce, “One Way or Another” by Blondie and “Should I Stay or Should I Go” (an ‘80s song) by The Clash, to name a few. Cover versions of Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love”, “I Wanna Be Your Dog”, Nat “King” Cole’s “Smile” and “Come Together” are heard, too. In addition, an original song titled “Call Me Cruella” by Florence and the Machine is featured.
Finally, the real meaning of the film is to observe the iconic Cruella from a different perspective to really understand the story of her fabulous, outrageous life. Without a single doubt, I highly recommend this appealing, madly entertaining movie to every Emma Stone/Cruella de Vil fan.

The Council of Nymphs and Other (Superb) Magical Beings
What Are Nymphs?
Nymphs, magical elemental beings, each representing different facets of the natural world, were a product of the Collapse. They are said to have been human, at one point, but were gifted supernatural abilities beyond their comprehension.
They function similarly to Minor Gods, and work in close proximity to them, often socializing, but are distinguished by their specific connections to the Veins of Nyoka, the radioactive / supernatural highways that run through the crust of the continent, and their capacity to plane shift, often disappearing into Pockets.
Extra-Planar Pockets
Pockets are extremely small dimensional planes, each roughly the size of a large city. Each Nymph has a specific Pocket over which they rule as gods, able to create, destroy, and shape the land to their will. This is their place of rest, and, depending on the Nymph, their home.
This is absolutely unnecessary information in regards to the functioning of the Council, but I’m sure as fuck not writing another article on Nymphs when I already described them here.
The Nymph Council
The Council of Nymphs and Other (Superb) Magical Beings is a gathering of powerful magical entities and minor gods, who meet on each solstice, as well as in times of crisis, to discuss current events and coordinate their actions to best suit the needs of the world as a whole. They are behind the curtain.
The Council meets on a freezing, desolate island in the Northern Sea, along the coastline, within a towering Neoclassical mansion, lined with intricately decorated columns, featuring decadent inlays of gold and marble.
Within are several sleeping quarters, a large kitchen, a common area with several long leather couches, a massive, sprawling library full of ancient artifacts (including Necroa’s record player,) and a dining hall, where, along a lengthy table, adorned with an ancient tapestry for a tablecloth, the Council holds their discussions.
The building is often shifting, rooms changing shape and contents as needed, but those rooms specifically are always intact.
Their process is generally democratic, but supreme authority usually ends up in the hands of Eria, the Nymph of Natural Forces.
The majority of the Council’s lineup has not changed since its inception.
A 5/7 vote in the favor of including minor gods and other celestial or omnipresent beings passed an amendment in 752 AE, granting the addition of Nexus, Weâbus (who was later removed,) Argon, Allis, and Corinne.
In 173 1E, following the Second Great War, Lenny Bignose, the Immortal Troll King, was added to the roster, and, the latest addition, Sosama, of the Iron Lung, a fully mortal spell caster, was inducted into the Council on the Winter Solstice of 192 2E.
Taking Attendance
Members (current and former,) are as follows…
Eria, Nymph of Natural Forces (1955 AD - Present)
Eria, the Nymph of Natural Forces, such as the tides, the winds, the sun, and the rain, is the closest to an executor the Council has, for better or for worse. She’s maintained order over the Council since the beginning, but has felt her hold slowly loosen with new chairs being filled in on the Council, tensions rising regarding her tendency toward isolation and observation, and with other Council members noticing her manipulative behavior.
She’s stayed on top for this long, a ruthless matron, but how long can she maintain that control?
She has always been vague about her position in life prior to the Collapse, but those close to her know at one point she was a school teacher.
She appears as a woman, humanoid, in her mid to late 30’s, with a flowing mane of dark red hair, and cycles between a wardrobe full of excessively formal gowns. She has never dressed casual a day in her life. She had a Cruella Deville phase in the First Era, and no-one will let her live that one down.
No-one has seen her Extra-Planar Pocket, with the exception of Titan, but some within the Council theorize her Pocket may be the mansion itself.
Titan, Nymph of the Mountains (1953 AD - Present)
While there are no romantic ties between them, if Eria serves as the mother of the council, Titan, the towering, bearded Nymph of the Mountains, serves as the father. His voice is respected, but his tendency to maintain order and peace at the table is often a roadblock in the way of any conclusions.
He’s a sweet guy, but he often lets himself get walked on, especially by Eria, whose passive aggression he still has not learned to see through, and whose approval he relies on to feel comfortable in his own choices.
Before the Collapse, he had a wife and daughter, and he worked construction. He lost one family, and he’d move Heaven and Hell before he loses this one.
Cassius, Nymph of the Sands (1962 AD - Present)
Alluring, dreamy, smooth talking, but not afraid to crack a beer bottle over someone’s head if she finds an excuse to. Cassius, Nymph of the Sands, Guardian of Izmana, the Hidden City, is probably the most effective and outspoken voice on the Council. Often she feels the need to advocate for those she views as younger siblings (Necroa, Shia, Koke,) and is not afraid to admit she shines when there’s an argument to be had.
She values freedom, mortal life, and a good drink above all else, and anything or anyone that comes between her and her goals is welcome to choke on a throat-full of sand.
She is unique in regards to her relationship with her Extra-planar Pocket, the city of Izmana, which technically exists both in and out of Nyoka, and has a couple thousand permanent residents. The city itself plane shifts between the Izmanian Desert and its own, small dimension, constantly shifting in location.
She appears as a tanned blonde woman, humanoid, around 6’1” tall, is absolutely stacked, and is either dressed for glamour or a fist fight. There is no in between.
Before the Collapse, she was a serial shoplifting barista, and a radical political activist. Not much has changed.
Necroa, Nymph of Decomposition (1965 AD - Present)
Necroa presents most often as a small drow woman, visually in her late teens, with a chopped up bob and a dark void within her eyes, simply because she wants to be hard to read.
Necroa is difficult whenever possible. In fact, not many of her fellow Nymphs are sure of any of Necroa’s opinions, because she plays Devil’s Advocate often, and in place of a value system is a little gremlin in her brain that aims entirely to piss people off. Despite this, maybe because she’s too darn cute, or maybe because they’re a little scared, she’s a beloved and essential member of the Council.
Necroa operates as the Nymph of Decomposition. In the Spectre’s Bridge, she has been a subject of folklore for decades, bards from Independence to Qalea whispering of The Vulture. They describe the Vulture as a greyish goblinoid creature who feasts on the bodies of fallen animals left to decay on the forest floor, and while most would be offended, Necroa feels that goblins have long been marginalized, and takes the comparison as a compliment, and, to be fair, she does snack on a rotting corpse every once in a while.
Her touch has a necrotic effect to it, and melts skin on contact, with the exception of undead creatures, and this has created a bit of a tendency toward hiding away from the general populace, which has not helped her already antisocial behavior.
She doesn’t take much stock in these meetings anymore, and is honestly tired of showing up. Her role is more to fill in a chair at this point than anything else.
Before the Collapse, she was a homeless high school dropout, and a failing musician. She’ll still pick up the guitar sometimes if she needs to get some aggression out. Her voice isn’t pretty, but there is something about it. It’s the only time she’s genuine.
Shia, Nymph of the Woodland (1971 AD - Present)
No-one is exactly sure why she is the way she is.
Whether it was some sort of life-altering trauma, or some kind of a developmental delay… despite centuries of experience, Shia, Nymph of the Woodland, maintains a childlike innocence.
This, of course, means Necroa takes every chance she can to fuck with her, but if anyone were to lay a hand on her, they’d have several nymphs and a forest full of wild animals on their ass in seconds.
It also means Eria’s manipulation tactics work all too well on her, and Cassius has begun to catch on with time, and is all too willing to call Eria out on it.
She’s the little sister of the group, and she very much enjoys that role. She doesn’t get taken too seriously, though, and, while, to be fair, she is mentally and physically 13 years old, she has some really creative solutions (often involving unicorns,) that deserve some consideration.
She talks to squirrels, and to trees, and they’re her biggest fans. She protects the forest, and the forest protects her. The trees don’t talk back, but she claims they can understand her. They definitely cannot.
She appears as a stout, darker skinned young woman, with large, floppy rabbit ears and a trash can lid sized mushroom for a hat. It looks ridiculous. She loves it very much.
She is also distinguished from other Nymphs by her lack of an Extra-planar Pocket, and her unique connection to the Feywild, where she spends about half her time.
Antares, Nymph of the Divine Timeline (1961 AD - Present)
Turns out, if you give omniscience and a full understanding of the broader context of the multiverse to a normal person, that’s going to give them life-long trauma. Who would’ve guessed?
Antares, once a curious young woman selling Xanax as a cashier at a bookstore, is now a formless, millennia-old, shape-shifting Nymph of Time. She has seen everything the universe has to offer, from the genesis of mankind to the world’s end. She’s a bit disillusioned.
While fate is indeterminate and constantly shifting, Antares is, like, a meteorologist of world events and outcomes. She finds it fun to spit out prophecies at people just to freak them out. Necroa also finds this fun, and encourages it often.
Antares is also a bit of a mess of cultures. She’s been a citizen of several countries in different decades, centuries, and millennia, some for years at a time, and has picked up slang and references that are a bit jumbled. Things are hard to keep track of.
Visually, she’s usually a thinner woman in her early 20’s, with big wire frame glasses and a cardigan, but she is known to change appearances often, more than any other Nymph, so depending which point in time you’re dealing with, there could be distinct visual changes, or possibly a different face or pronouns entirely.
Koke, Nymph of the Fields (1964 AD - Present)
Koke, Nymph of the Fields, is the problem child of the bunch. While his powers extend over seas of grain, he specifically has taken a bit of pleasure in fermentation, and has become the Dionysus of the Council, partaking in wine, women, and revelry, with an unmistakable bastard charm that never fails to help him accomplish whatever goals he may have in mind.
He’s most often spotted with a burlap sack over his head, possibly out of insecurity, possibly to evade authorities. Few have seen him without the bag, but Cassius testifies he’s actually quite handsome. He denies this. This insecurity is likely associated with the fact he is the only Nymph who cannot functionally polymorph.
His problems with impulse control will eventually be his downfall. Rarely does he make it to anything on time (in fact, Necroa is often assigned to drag him to meetings from whatever hole in the wall he finds himself in,) and if he was capable of contracting disease, he would have several sexually transmitted infections by now.
Eria still pretends he’s got it together, as she’d rather not deal with sorting things out, and Titan still sees potential in him. It’s really up to him to decide whether or not he’s capable of changing at this point.
Before the collapse, he was in the LA County Jail for a Public Indecency charge. This is not surprising.
Nexus, Minor God of Puzzles (1230 AE - Present)
[Excerpt - Article - Minor Gods] “Nexus is a god of puzzles, riddles, problems, and solutions. Nexus is nonviolent, but that doesn't stop him from being the most bastardous and annoying piece of shit you'll ever have to deal with. Him and Weâbus are magical colleagues, but since ascending to a god status, have had a bitter rivalry. They both have their respective cults, but the cult of Nexus is mostly filled with psychopaths and blithering idiots. If he could kill them all, he would, but the contract he signed explicitly prevents him from doing so.
Nexus appears as a young man, roughly 15 years old. Due to him striking a deal with a fiend at a young age, he was granted biological immortality, but was not informed he would remain in the same physical form for the remainder of that immortality. This makes it hard for him to get taken seriously, and he is well aware of this, and while it can be advantageous at times (he saves heaps at buffets,) he is not a fan of that fact.”
His role on the council is that of a master tactician. He’s typically pretty spaced out, often bored, but the minute you give him a problem to solve, he will work tirelessly for as long as it takes to complete. Aside from the complaints associated with his chain smoking of hand-rolled cigarettes indoors (Necroa calls him Chimney, but he calls her Corpse Fucker, so it’s fair,) he’s relatively well-liked, and has mostly been adopted by the Council.
Weâbus, Minor God of Time (1232 AE - Present) (Former)
[Excerpt - Article - Minor Gods] “Weâbus, the handsome, suave, all-seeing blind god of time. He's one of the two most powerful warlocks in known history, one who ascended past this plane of reality to another, where he's revered by members of his own cult. He can tweak history to his own benefit, and if he didn't want you to know about him, you wouldn't. Luckily, he's got just as much ego as he does power.”
His role on the Council was pretty understated, with him mostly snacking or sleeping through the meetings until his departure in 7 AE, when he and Nexus had a falling out over a petty squabble.
He claims Nexus’ issues with him come due to the fact Weâbus had his growth spurt earlier, and sits at a full 6’2”, but Weâbus’ blind arrogance (pun intended) destroys pretty much every relationship he’s ever tried to form.
It is worth noting he is actually the reason the full title of the Council includes the word “Superb,“ as he argued for it for a good ten minutes.
Argon, Minor God of Seafaring (Unknown - Present)
[Excerpt - Article - Minor Gods] “Argon is the seafarer’s patron. Typically depicted as a dark-skinned man wielding a fisherman’s spear and a net, Argon represents the ideals of the gritty sailors that float across the Northern Sea. Sailors tell tales of their encounters with Argon, but it’s always hard to tell which stories ring true. One consistent trope is the appearance of a lighthouse during a storm, one that dissipates as the ocean settles.”
He doesn’t have a very strong identity within the Council. His control over the natural world has a very limited extent, but his best guess is they keep him around because he serves as the Krakkengärd, Master of Monsters, and the Council decided it was best they stay in his good graces. He doesn’t mind much.
He does have a bit of a drinking problem, but he shows up on time, and at the very least, he’s a fun drunk. What do you expect from a sailor, y’know? Eria does wish he’d work on his table manners, though.
Corinne, Minor God of the Afterlife (Unknown - Present)
[Excerpt - Article - Minor Gods] “Corinne is a god of death, though she is not feared or seen as a dark, looming presence. This god of death is seen as a life-bringer, in ways, especially by the Hollow, who see her as a figure of maternity. She typically manifests as a woman in a long, white dress, with a warm smile and flowing hair, but she is said to appear in whatever form makes you the most comfortable. It could be a friend, a significant other, or even a dog.”
Corinne’s role on the Council is as a representative of the Undead people of the Spectre’s Bridge, as well as someone to send and receive messages from the beyond.
She’s quiet, and a little too agreeable? She’s the kind of person that just doesn’t have any strong opinions about anything. She’s made peace with the inevitability of death, so she tends to come off a bit detached.
She’s liked well enough, but even Necroa finds her a bit off-putting. The scent of nightshade and embalming fluid tends to have that affect on people.
Lenny Bignose, The Troll King (15 1E - Present)
Lenny Bignose, Immortal Troll King of the Valley of Storms, patriarch of Nyoka’s vast system of trolls, acts as the Council’s primary eyes and ears on the ground of the mainland.
If you’re trying to picture him, imagine an oilier, muskier, taller Ted Cruz, toting a cigar and a baseball bat - sized club. Somewhere between Tony Soprano and a megatherium.
He’s a bit big for the table, but he provides a valuable service to the Council, and is willing to do some dirty work if it means some extra vacation time and some low-risk coin.
Necroa thinks he’s kickass, and if Troll King was a viable career path for her, she would be actively pursuing it.
Sosama, of the Iron Lung (172 2E - Present)
A gifted mage hailing from the Southwest Villages, Sosama acts as the Overseer of the Village of the Iron Lung, a small city mostly populated with those practiced in Smoke magic, creating powerful evocations and summoning even more powerful elementals. Sosama sits at a looming seven feet tall, with a wide-brim Jingasa resting on a head of long, shaggy hair. At 28, he has accomplished much, murdering his uncle, the ruthless Kamari of the Iron Lung, by the age of 18, and taking the seat of power for himself.
He sought out the Council on his own initiative, and after a year and a half of a pilgrimage searching the Northern Sea, he made contact with Titan directly, in the mountains of the Rabbit’s Jaw, and made an argument for why he should have a seat at the table. He was brought before the table, and it was put to an anonymous vote. He was voted in 11/1. Nobody knows who voted against it, but my money is on Eria.
Sosama acts as a representative of mortal interests at the table. In the past eight years, he’s done much to quell the chaos surrounding the rising tensions on the ground, and, despite his role as the only aging member of the Council, commands a great deal of respect.
He’s got a bit of a stick up his ass, but he is that motherfucker, and he knows it, so he’s not too concerned about whether or not you’d want to have a drink with him.
The only question remaining is, if the time came, which loyalty would he put first? The Council, or the Iron Lung?

A5. A12, B2, B4, C5, C12, D5, D10, E3,
General Yakuza/Judgment/LJ spoilers, so I'm putting under a cut!
A5. Favorite final boss(es)? Oh Kuroiwa, easily. The dynamic intro. The action sequence. The music. His second phase?? Actually, I can't even consider that a second phase. That's just redoing the entire boss fight again. Absolutely amazing.
A12. Favorite tattoo(s)? Maybe it's a bit basic, but I do really love Majima's tattoo.
B2. What’s a scene that never fails to make you cry? Pretty much the entire ending sequence to LJ. I've played the game 3 times and every time the tears start coming when Kuwana says that it'd be cruel to tear Reiko away from Mitsuru after 13 years and they didn't stop until.... the credits rolled.
B4. Who would you like to post more about but you don’t? Why don’t you? Tanimura!! I think it's because I just genuinely cannot take Y4 seriously (altho I don't mean that in a bad way). Y4 is just wild and a really fun ride for the most part. Tanimura's story is the only part that I was genuinely invested in because I really, really love his story. That being said, I guess I just can't really reconcile how seriously I take Tanimura's character and his story and my feelings on the rest of Y4 which is... the complete opposite of serious.
C5. Which character would you like to see as an antagonist? Ooh, interesting. I don't know if there's any specific character that I'd like to see as an story antagonist, but I think it would be fun for Kiryu to try and fight Miss Tatsu but still get his ass beat.
C12. Whose voice do you enjoy hearing the most? It might be a bit basic but I really like Majima's more serious voice like in Y0 or the Majima story in Kiwami 2. I just love those glimpses into more of who he really is, rather than the crazy persona he puts up.
D5. Which character do you think isn’t portrayed well/ is misunderstood by the fandom? Kiryu's relationship with Haruka, absolutely. Fanart led me to believe that Kiryu has a wholesome relationship with Haruka and he's a great father but like... that's not the case at all. Don't get me wrong, he does try his best, but he has messed up. A lot.
D10. What’s something everyone loves that you hate? (Mechanic, scene, character, etc) Mirei Park. I think she could've been a good character if the game didn't try and paint her in a sympathetic light. Her "heartfelt" scenes with Haruka are legitimately so damaging. The woman literally tells a teenage girl "Don’t be content just thinking you’re pretty enough the way you are". She projects her failed dreams onto Haruka, holds funding to the orphanage hostage, says that because Haruka thinks she's ugly, that's all the more reason she needs makeup, and then tries to buy her affection with fancy and expensive gifts. Oh, except she didn’t even give Haruka the pen as a present-- she just wanted Haruka to go meet Majima in her place.
This is a traumatized and very messed up woman who is doing shitty things. If the game just embraced that aspect of her and went with it, I think I would've really liked her character, but the fact that Y5 ended up romanticizing such a toxic person (and honestly the whole idol aspect in general) just kinda left me like
Tumblr media
E3. Return: Shinada or Tanimura? TANIMURA TANIMURA TANIMURA TANIMURA. He is legitimately one of my favorite protags in this entire franchise, second only to Y0!Majima. I love Tanimura with my whole heart I hope he's living his best life in a mahjong parlor somewhere ♡♡♡
Thank you for asking!!

Curious Gazes
prompt: [CEO!Harry] four times harry has been spotted by employees being very unlike his demeanor at work.
word count: 4.3 k
warnings: harry is an asshole to everyone but is wife and baby.
**** <-- click for visuals throughout the story. ( because i love showing off how dumb rich harry is - i mean he’s a billionaire ffs)
notes: thanks so much for the love on the first part. I will be writing quite a bit for this trope. the next addition will be all smut. love you, enjoy.
PART ONE
----
RESERVATION RUN-IN
Harry has over a hundred-thousand full-time employees. He has nearly ten-thousand at his London office at all times. The skyscraper was beautiful with clear glass, a reflective grey tone, and the structure screamed modern. It has eighty-three floors.
So with that being said, Harry does not know even one third of the people who work in the building nor does he want to. He couldn’t pick them out of a line-up if he tried. 
However, having so many employees in the city means his staff members are bound to catch sight of their boss pretty often outside of the office.
Sarah, Lucielle, Jack, and Anya - all from the customer service department of Styles Media and Marketing Inc. - are all out to dinner. They decided to go all out and dish out a hefty amount to eat at Il Nascondiglio Segreto. It was a reservation they had made nearly a month ago.
As they’re enjoying their appetizer, Lucielle nearly chokes on her oyster, “Holy shit. It’s Harry,” She whispers, nodding her head in the direction she was staring with bulging eyes.
They all can’t help but turn subtly, a perfect vantage point from where they’re sat right across the way from the group of employees. Their boss was dressed in a bit more casual - not by much - attire than he’d worn to the office earlier that Friday afternoon.
He had an open blazer with a white, nearly see-through button up. Their eyes nearly jumping out of their skulls when they spot his butterfly tattoo sitting on right below his sternum. Jack’s hawk eyes catch that he has a name in cursive on his left pec. 
Plus his normal tailored suit trousers were replaced with tight skinny jeans that hugged his crotched - making it unmistakable that he was well….endowed. Hair was no longer as styled and curled. Laying more carelessly on his shoulders. ****
But what was the most absurd thing they saw him wearing was a smile. His lips were curled up in a large, white grin that was big enough to cause little wrinkles around his eyes. 
His hand intertwined with his wife’s until they arrived at their table, pulling out her chair for her, landing a soft kiss on her cheek before sitting down in his across from her.
He automatically puts an open palm halfway across the table and his date places her’s right on top of it. Her large engagement ring and wedding band sparkling in the low lighting in the restaurant. They were holding hands over the table.
The group had never actually seen the women they deemed Cruella Deville. They had envisioned his wife with bleach blonde hair, fake tits, and fish lips complimented with botox that made it so her forehead didn’t move.
But they were met with a beautiful, natural one instead. She had gorgeous curled locks trailing down her back, light neutral makeup with normal sized lips, small creases where they should be. 
Her body was natural as well, breasts pushed up in a bra but obviously not manufactured by the way they sat, a bit of a pouch around her midsection - a telltale sign from her recent pregnancy, and a radiant smile to match her husband’s. 
They looked so happy and in love.
She was dressed short, polka-dotted black dress with a pair of simple black shoes. She complimented with with a bright red lip which stood out against the dark fabric. ***
It’s not that they didn’t look like a match - she was absolutely stunning. It just wasn’t who they imagined for the boss they despised ninety percent of the time.
The group can’t keep their eyes off the couple - subtly, of course - for their whole time at the restaurant.
Harry was laughing loudly - different sound than when he laughed without a humor at bumbling, nervous employees.
It was light and higher pitched - but still gravely low; smooth like honey as his wife matches his laughs.
At one point, after their meal arrives - Harry offers her a spoonful of his food, playfully complaining that she took too big of a bite - but then immediately offering her more right after.
When she excused herself to the bathroom, Lucille catches Harry’s sneaky hand reaching out to give her backside a quick grope which earns him a warning glance that has him snickering.
Anya who was in the restroom nearly runs into her, Y/N apologizes instantly, “I’m sorry! Wasn’t watching where I was going! Are you alright?”
Anya nods, a bit at a loss of words, talking to Harry Styles' wife, “I’m okay, thank you.”
“I swear I have two left feet,” Y/N jokes, complimenting her dress before disappearing into a stalls. A completely lovely girl.
It’s pathetic but the group lingers around to watch their boss’s full dinner date. It was creepy but they were just so stunned at the man that was sitting by them.
The couples behavior had turned more flirty by this point, Y/N’s eyelashes fluttering at little bit more at her husband, her giggles flowing more often with licks to her lips. 
By the clenched fist on the table, Harry seems to be falling prey to the teasing. 
But when his wife whispers something - that must have been filthy - and leans forward so her cleavage is displayed more, Harry’s pulling out his wallet, pulling an absurd amount of bills out and throwing them carelessly on the table.
Y/N’s eyes are twinkling in victory as her husband stands and helps her out of her chair - ever the gentlemen.
It doesn’t seem very gentlemen like though when his hand comes to the very lowest point on the small of her back -  pushing her into him. He leans down to murmur something into her ear before landing a damp, way too intimate for public kiss to her jaw and then throat.
In turn, she looks up at him with a mischievous tilt of her lip and a challenging raised brow. You could cut their sexual tension with a knife.
Y/N lifts up on her toes to kiss him before grabbing his hand and guiding him out of the establishment quickly - his eyes glued to her bum the whole time.
Jack breaks the bated silence, with a bewildered chortle, “What the fuck was that?”
Sarah sips her wine, “Maybe he has a twin? Like a good twin? And he’s the evil one.”
They all laugh and finish up their desserts.

MOTHER’S DAY SHOPPING
Kasey and Tom - from Human Resources - are out for the day. It was a week before Mother’s Day and they were both scrambling for a gift at the shops.
Harrod’s was nearly empty as they had came in a few minutes after the store opened. Kasey had gotten distracted from her mission and was trying on shoes. 
There was a 40% off sale and she wasn’t passing that up.
Tom had wondered off to the electronics department very soon after the first five shoeboxes arrived next to her chair.
“Pink!” Kasey hears a high-pitched baby voice squeal with utter delight. She looks up to see a curly haired toddler pointing at a pair of pink baby shoes.
The little girl had the cutest denim dress on with white stripes ***, white tights on, and white Mary Janes. When Kasey looked closer she realized the Gucci emblem was on the dress - holy shit, she didn’t even know Gucci made baby clothes.
“Daddy, please?” The toddler asks in a sweet, small voice looking to the approaching man who scoops her up in the crook of his elbow.
“Ivy, y’can’t run away from daddy. Do you understand me?” 
Kasey’s eyes widen as she recognizes that deep, raspy voice. It was her boss, Harry Styles, and with his little mini who looked like a cherub angel.
“No run, daddy,” Ivy grins up at him, looking for approval.
The slightly stern look dissipates from his face into a softer, relaxed smile at his daughter’s words. He kept her close against his chest.
“Daddy, please?” She piques up again, pointing at the small shoes on the wall.
“Y’want those shoes?” Harry asks, nodding towards the pink sneakers.
Ivy nods before pointing at the other shoes next to it, “All, please?”
Despite her father not having any manners in the slightest, his daughter seemed to have excellent etiquette.
Harry chuckles, smoothing a stray curl down from her forehead, “Y’want a pair of all these shoes?”
Ivy nods with wide doe eyes and one of her dimples popping in her left cheek. 
“Y’mother’s going to kill me,” Kasey hears Harry mutter before waving a sales associate over.
“Good to see you, Mr. Styles - I’m Tracey. What can I help you with?”
Of course they knew him by name. He was by the looks of it one of their most appreciated customers, figuring he rarely wears the same thing twice.
“Can I please get a pair of all these shoes in a toddler’s size three? And can you please ring them up for me? Thank you,” Harry asks, his voice taking on the executive and firm tone with the associate who nods and turns on her heel.
“Daddy? Kissy?” The girl asks her father, her little palm patting his cheek and she’s puckering her pink lips.
“Yes baby,” Harry obliges, giving her a peck before blowing a raspberry on her cheek. He tugs down her dress that’s ridden up in true parent fashion.
As they’re waiting, Harry continues to talk to his daughter, “Y’know pet, we came here to shop for mumma for mother’s day. Y’always manage to get something out of it, hmm?”
“Mummy?” Ivy squawks, repeating her father’s word. 
“Yes, mummy. I think she’s really going to like the necklace we picked out,” Harry taps at her nose, his eyes just read love and amazement for his little girl.
Kasey was dumbfounded. 
This man had literally stormed into their offices yesterday, frustration seeping into his loud tone as he asked the room of employees if it was a lady's brunch club or a place of employment when he hadn’t gotten a report on his desk at a certain time.
They’d all stuttered and apologized but Harry had already slammed the door of his way out - the doorframe shaking. A nasty email being sent to their inboxes mere minutes later.
“Mr. Styles? We are out of two of the pairs,” The saleswoman appears and tells him, tablet now in hand.
Harry’s voice is calm but he looks her dead in the eye, “Do you not know how to ship them to a house? I don’t have time for this nonsense.”
She begins to apologize, pulling up a page of her tablet, “Your total comes to £6,309.45 for the shoes.”
Kasey’s eyes nearly pop from her head at the total but Harry merely blinks and states, “Charge it to my Amex on file.”
“Would you like me to add on the items you picked up downstairs? That would bring your total to £ 213,088.79. The necklace *** will be shipped within the next two weeks and will need to be signed for at your doorstep by an authorized person of your choosing, they’ll need to provide identification to certify their identity.”
“I need the necklace by next Sunday- it’s my daughter’s Mother’s Day gift to her mum - hence the pink diamonds,” Harry states to the woman like she’s stupid.
Did that woman just say that amount? And did Harry not even bat an eyelash at it. 
Kasey’s brain couldn’t really comprehend it.
“Expedited shipping on this item would be…” Tracey looks down at her tablet and taps a few buttons, “It will be an extra £3,219 for expedited shipping as it’s coming from Swittzerland.” 
Harry is distracted for a moment as Ivy is wriggling until Harry puts her down. Kasey didn’t see that he had a plush doll tucked in between his jeans and belt on his back.
“Baby doll,” Ivy pokes at her father’s thigh, too short to reach her toy. 
Harry tugs it out and hands it to her, “Stay right here, Vee.”
Ivy unceremoniously plops on the ground next to her father’s leather boot while he confirms the purchases and signs off on them.
It was cute - the plush baby doll she was playing with was ratty, worn, and very visibly loved. It seems as if it’s been her favorite toy for a while.
After finishing up with Tracey, Kasey sees him slip her a few bills for her trouble and lugs Ivy back up onto his hip.
“Shake, daddy?” Ivy lisps hopefully, green eyes sparkling up at her father’s. 
Harry lets out a chuckle, “No, baby. It’s only ten in the morning, y’can’t have a milkshake. Let go home, maybe mumma will make us some blueberry pancakes if we give her lots of kisses?”
“Mummy,” Ivy agrees happily, her plush held tightly against her chest.
“She’s going to love your gift, darlin’, even though y’the best gift we’ve ever got,” Harry murmurs lovingly, pressed a warm kiss to his daughter’s cheek.
Tom has wandered back to the shoe department, eyes unfortunately meeting his boss’ right away - widen with surprise.
Harry’s eyes narrow when he finds Tom staring, “Can I help y’mate?”
“Uh-no! Sorry, just, erm, I work for you?” Tom stutters stupidly at his annoyed employer who currently has his toddler trying to pulls his sunglasses off the top of his head.
“Then I’d recommend, if you’d like it to stay that way, you mind your own damn business,” Harry bites out with a warning tone, unnecessarily rude.
Ivy doesn’t seem bothered, delighted when she tugs the shades off his head and attempts to put them on. She begins huffing as she struggles and Harry gently takes them and slides them on for her.
Tom nods, still baffled, and scurries over to Kasey. 
They both glance back when their boss isn’t looking. He hears him murmur softly, “Let’s go see mummy.”
“Pancakes?” Ivy chirps, looking at her dad for confirmation.
“Anythin’ for you, my little love,” Harry agrees, starting to walks to the elevator to the entrance of the store. 
Tom and Kasey look at each other with unexplainable expressions as they watch their asshole of a boss clearly wrapped around a toddler’s finger.

THE PARK
“Hi! Is anyone sitting here?” Savannah hears from beside her on the park bench. 
She looks up to see a beautiful, young woman looking to be around her age looking at her expectantly. She has a backpack on her shoulders and a curly-haired toddler on her hip.
“Nope! You’re good!” Savannah replies kindly, moving over to make room on the bench for her to sit.
“Awesome, thank you. I’m Y/N and this is Ivy. Say ‘hi’,” Y/N prompts her daughter with a nudge.
Ivy puts on a beaming smile, white little blocky teeth on display, “Hi.”
“I’m Savannah and the little brunette boy in the green shirt is mine - his name’s Flynn.”
“Tell her how old you are, baby,” Y/N smiles, always trying to get her daughter to socialize as much as possible.
“Two!” Ivy giggles before impatiently squirming, “Mummy, play.”
Y/N laughs, “Just as impatient as your father. Go on, stay where mumma can see you, please.”
Ivy nods before speeding off towards the little jungle-gym to automatically start playing with the little group of kids.
“I wish I had their energy,” Y/N sighs, tugging a water bottle out of her backpack. 
Savannah was obsessed with everything gucci - even though she couldn’t afford anything - so when she spots the flashy bag, she can’t help but ask, “Is that a custom Gucci monogram multipack?”***
Y/N takes a sip before answering, “Yeah, my husband gave it to me as a gift on ‘national stay at home mum day’ - which I don’t even think is a real thing. He just knows I’ll chew him out if he buys me things like this without reason.”
They both laugh, Savannah can’t help but glance over the woman a little bit closer. She had a ratty, vintage tee on, plain black leggings, and a pair of black Nikes on - nothing that screamed over the top.
But then she spots the engagement ring *** on her finger. Savannah thought it looked so extravagant it almost looked fake. But the way the faucets reflect so magnificently in the sunshine makes her sure it’s real.
“What was that?” Savannah snaps back, realizing she hadn’t heard what Y/N was saying - too busy deciding how much money she had which wasn’t right when the girl was being so friendly.
“Oh, just - do you know any mum groups around here? I was in a group but all they liked to do was gossip and bitch. And I think Ivy heard the word ‘cunt’ one too many times from them.”
Savannah barks out a laugh, Y/N turns out to be extremely funny and friendly. She has a bit of a foul mouth and a quick wit but is a good listener.
“And so I said to the dude -“ Y/N cuts off when her phone rings, digging it out and answering, “Hi H, yeah. The one with the big purple slide, okay.”
When she hangs up, she tells her new friend, “My husband is stopping by really quick. He has a business dinner later and won’t see Ivy before her bedtime. Or me before my bedtime,” Y/N laughs.
“That’s so nice of him!” Savannah says, knowing her husband enjoyed when everyone was asleep by the time he came home. Would never go out of his way like Y/N’s husband would.
Y/N says with a smile in her eyes, “Yeah, he’s really good to us.”
They continue to chat until they hear a loud engine revving into the car park, Y/N rolls her eyes and mutters, “Of course, he brings the loudest car today.”
A vintage car swings into a spot and Savannah nearly gasps at who exits the car and begins to stride towards them. No one other than her boss. 
The man who had her doing her job by the book and when one hair fell out of place he knew right away. 
The man who she avoided at all cost possibly - taking the stairs so she doesn’t have to be in the elevator with his intimidating presence.
It took her a minute to connect the dots. Y/N was married to Harry? Harry was Ivy’s dad? It through her through a loop - Y/N was just - so nice. 
But it does explain all the gucci and the massive diamond ring. She did happen to work for a fucking billionare. Y/N didn’t come off as a billionaire or a billionaire’s wife.
‘Holy shit, this is wild,’ Savannah thought.
Harry makes his way over to the bench, Y/N standing up to hug him. Harry kisses her softly with a large palm coming to slip under the back of her shirt to rub at her bare back.
Uh - this man was being loving and affectionate? Proving all Savannah's preconceived notions about him wrong. Mostly that he was a robot.
“Hi darlin’, have a good day?” Harry asks his wife, still holding onto her and tugging her into his side - looking to Ivy who was obliviously - playing on the swing.
“Mmm, don’t want you to go tonight,” Yn/Ngroans dramatically, squeaking when Harry playfully pinches her side.
“Tell me and I won’t go,” He murmurs with surprising sincerity against his wife’s cheek, smiling when Ivy lets out a loud, carefree giggle with her new friends.
“Oh! I’m being rude. This is Savannah, Savannah this is my husband Harry,” Y/N introduces the two, unknowing of their connection.
Savannah swallows harshly and gives him a timid wave, “Hello.”
Harry shows no recognition that he knows her but gives her a curt nod and rasps out a “hello.” 
Y/N rolls his eyes at her husband, patting his toned stomach, “He’s always a little crabby after work,” She jokes as he smirks at her - he’s rarely ever crabby with his wife and they both know it.
After work? How about from the time he stepped foot through the lobby doors everyday? He only had one mode at work - crabby.
“It’s ok-“
“Daddy!” A squeal interrupts them, a blur of brunette curls crashing into her father’s legs - full force with excitement.
Harry is bending down and tucking her into his arms for a hug, “Hi baby, y’bein’ so good for mumma?”
His tone had shifted into a low, relaxed drawl that Savannah had never heard. His words are kind and caring towards his daughter.
“Good for mumma,” Ivy parrots her father, dimples popping as she pushes at Harry’s face when he attacks her with kisses.
“You taste so good I could eat yah!” Harry growls playfully, Ivy giggling delightedly at her fathers antics until her cheeks are flushed pink with laughter.
“Swings, daddy,” Ivy motions with green doe eyes. Grass and mud stains the outfit her mother had dressed her in - cute striped overalls with a white tee underneath  *** and little sneakers ****.
“Oh dove, I wish I could. I have to go back to work,” Harry frowns, his thumb coming to caress her sweaty cheekbone.
Her brows furrowed and her full pink lips turned down - Savannah has to contain a laugh by how much she looks like her father with the displeased grimace on her face.
“No, no, Daddy,” Ivy argues adamantly, her eyes brimming with sad tears.
“Vee, c’mon, my love. I’ll be home later,” Harry soothes, starting to rock her from side to side to calm her.
But Ivy is in her terrible twos and doesn’t like the word ‘no.’
Y/N comes up to her husband’s side, tucking a hand into his back pocket to rest. 
“Ivy Elizabeth, we need to let your father go. Come to mummy now, please,” Her mother asks in a soft but firm tone.
“No!” Ivy absolutely shrieks with a awfully high pitch, “No mummy, daddy swings!”
The couple shares a look before Y/N is gathering her backpack on her shoulder, looking back to Savannah, “Hey! Text me, it’s about nap time for this one.”
Savannah agrees and gives them both a wave off as Harry totes his tantruming toddler to a sleek, teal SUV. It takes her a moment to scoff internally - off course it’s a Bentley ***.
And because Savannah can’t help but be nosey she googles the price of the car and quickly locks her screen when she sees the base price is £ 210,000.
Harry is planting little pecks on his daughter’s face and murmuring to her until her tears have dried up and she’s laughing at her dad once again.
After Harry straps her into the car seat and shuts the door, he gently pushes his wife back against it. His body is crowding hers, arm over her shoulder against the car.
The talk for a moment before Harry’s ducking down to pull a few kisses from her lips before she’s giggling and pushing him off.
Savannah couldn’t wait to tell the old women at in her customer relations department tomorrow.

THE GAME
Cassie didn’t mind Harry actually. She made his coffee nearly every morning and she secretly knew he was the one who left those hefty tips.
She’d fumbled over his orders a few times when she’d started and apologized profusely but Harry had just looked up from his phone and said, “S’fine.”
Yeah, that’s not much but compared to some of the horror stories she hears, but she was grateful for another reason.
—-
One day he had found her crying in a empty corridor that he used to walk to his car at the end of his day.
“Y’alright?” Her boss asks gruffly, pausing to look down at her - no clear emotion on his face.
Cassie nods sheepishly, “M’sorry, I’m just really stressed out.”
Harry’s eyes flash a tad darker, “Is Carole giving you trouble?” 
Carole was her manager.
“N-no. I got declined for my school financial aid. If I don’t come up with the money I’ll have to drop out. I-I have a son and I do-don’t have the money to go without help.”
Harry doesn’t say anything, rustling into the inner pocket of his suit and fishing out something - a checkbook.
He clicks the pen and moves his hand quickly across the pad before ripping it out and handing it to her, “Good luck and use the extra on your family. Don’t go spreading it around that I did this.”
Cassie goes to thank him or refuse it but when she looks back up from the check he’s already striding away down the hallway away from her.
She lets out a loud sob as she sees a check written for £150,000 right in front of her.
Cassie still works at the Starbucks part-time while attending college with the help of her secretly kind boss.
The extra money she’s stowed away in an education fund for her son after he graduates. 
Anyways, she was at Man U football game that she got invited to with her boyfriend - Jacob. His dad won tickets for box seats from his work in a raffle.
Cassie soon realized that their box was right by the Styles Media and Marketing one. The way they were placed, she could see right into their area.
It was just Harry and a woman in there. 
They were obviously a couple and this was the Cruella Deville. Cassie didn’t refer to her as that as she had a bit of a different perspective of the man.
His wife was sipping on a water bottle and cheering loudly with the rest of the fans. Harry watched her with amusement at her excited behavior, at one point pulling his photo out and snapping a picture of her.
When the exciting bit is over, she seats herself on his lap and wriggles until her back is against his chest - comfortable and cozy.
His large palm comes to cup at her stomach, Cassie now seeing that she is clearly pregnant as he cradles the noticeable bump protectively.
For most of the game, his hand never leaves her belly - rubbing circles with his thumb. His head came to rest on her shoulder to watch the game.
They seem so happy together - giggling and talking animatedly throughout. His wife constantly tilting her head back with her lips puckered requesting kisses that Harry happily supplies each time.
At one point, Cassie witnesses Y/N eat two huge corndogs in a row while her husband watches her with humor in his eye. Then goes on to order her a massive spool of candy floss that he feeds her throughout the game.
It was a late game and it was now in overtime. The clock reads nearly eleven at night. Harry’s wife has dozed off against his shoulder and when he notices he gently rouses her.
As she blinks her eyes open, Harry shucks his jacket of his shoulder and helped her slip it on. They must decide to call it a night because he’s helping her up, wrapping an arm around her shoulder, and guiding her out of the box.
Cassie never tells anyone that she saw him that night or what he did to help her family.
The End.
Hope you bubbbies enjoyed. Send me requests for this verse. Smut is up next for this trope.

“Girlboss” is an objectively funny word not because of misogyny or whatever but because the ridiculousness of gendering an already gender-neutral term for performative internet feminism points gives it a certain air. There’s a crunch to it. It has the same energy as those neoliberal op-eds about how the problem is that there aren’t enough women billionaires, rather than the fact that there are billionaires. Naturally it’s become such an integral part of my slang vocabulary recently that I use it regardless of gender to denote anyone who even slightly gives off Cruella Deville vibes, and sometimes I just call someone or something a girlboss without even thinking. Walter White is a girlboss. Khaleesi is a girlboss. The squirrel who bit a chunk of my finger off 2 years ago is a girlboss.
That said, extremely cursed behavior of me to use it to refer to Nikita Khrushchev during the 1960 U2 spy plane incident

this isn’t done yet but I crave validation so have some rotten four bickering
*
“Buddy system today,” Mal says firmly, “No exceptions. We need to stick together and keep each other accountable. No shouting, no running, nothing that’s going to draw any attention to us so close to the ceremony.” 
“Aw, and here I had all these fireworks ready to throw at Audrey,” Jay says, tossing whatever toy he’s got up over his head. He’s sprawled out on his back over Mal’s bed, and the toy is going to get stuck in the canopy if he’s not careful. “You sure we can’t have a little mayhem, killer?” 
Mal takes a deep breath. Just because she’s strung tighter than a harp doesn’t mean that the others have to be. It’s probably for the best that they aren’t, actually. Keeping most of them relaxed means that there’s more of a margin for error in her own behavior. “If you cause trouble,” Mal says lightly “I will gut you like a fish and use your entrails for hair ribbons.” 
“Rude. At least let Eves weave them into fabric or something, make a cool jacket out of my skin.” 
“It’s too late to steal my mother’s pattern,” Carlos murmurs, without lifting his head up from the book he’s been scribbling in. “Should’a made this plan sooner. Could’ve gotten tips.” 
Mal barks out a laugh. “Hah! I think your mother might have a few words for me if I started stealing her thing, furball.”
Carlos glances up, flicker-fast, just long enough that Mal can see him roll his eyes at her. “The words being what, that’s cool as hell and you’re going to have to pay a hefty licensing fee?”
Mal loves her crew sometimes. “I was thinking more like, stop right there, you bastard usurper, how dare you infringe upon my style and all that I hold dear,” Mal says, voice intentionally low and dramatic. Appropriately evil, of course, but nothing like Cruella’s actual unhinged shriek. “Or like, just wait until my lawyer hears about this, you little spineless magpie.” 
Carlos snort-laughs. “Her lawyer being what, the only person in the house with enough remaining brain cells to open a law textbook?” 
“That’s the one. You wanna see me in court, loser?” 
“I’d kick your ass in a courtroom. Ad litem, the estate of Hell Hall brings against the estate of Maleficent of the Moors a grievous violation of lex scripta, as it has been established sub judice, and–” 
Mal throws her head back, letting her tongue loll out of her mouth and letting just the tiniest bit of magic flow to her eyes, so that she can glow an inhuman green. “You’ve vanquished me,” she gurgles, through her feigned death throes. “The sacred language has burned the devil out of me, I’m normal now.”

Of all the dumb criticisms of Cruella (I'm back on this, I know, I'm sorry), the absolute dumbest has got to be "this is how The Powers That Be manufacture sympathy for Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, by making us believe that the predatory behavior of rich people is because they have some kind of relatable-trauma backstory, instead of speaking the truth, which is that they're simply evil and they suck!"
They are evil and they do suck. But before asserting with infinite unearned confidence that Sympathetic Villain Backstories are brainwashing the public into woobifying these men, can we take a beat and assess -- whether that is actually -- a problem that exists, at all?
Because I'm pretty convinced it doesn't. Billionaire Fandom doesn't think these dudes are wronged or traumatized or damaged. They would spit in your eye if you suggested it. They think their heroes are Randian Ubermenschen who deserve infinite power and money because that's what limitless strength and brilliance ought to receive. They think the very idea that childhood pain causes or affects anything in the adult world is whiny soyboy liberal propaganda.
Like, I think there actually is a great argument to be made that Donald Trump is the product of just, like, a mountain of childhood trauma -- that he was raised in a profoundly warped environment by a horrid abusive sadist, and that it left him with lifelong obsessions with cartoonish versions of machismo, wealth, respect, invulnerability, and the uncrossable divide between Winners and Losers. I would not inflict the generational psychological nightmare that is the Trump family on any living human.
But that's not an analysis of how he came to be the man he is that one single Trump supporter would cosign. They don't like him because they recognize him as traumatized or because what they feel about him could remotely be described as "sympathy." And people who stan for Musk and Zuckerberg and Gates et al don't feel any need to concoct backstories for why it's forgivable that they've done the things they've done.
Billionaire Fandom doesn't think these people need to be forgiven or excused. They don't think these people have done anything wrong. They think we're only motivated by an abstract "hatred of success," not that we have genuine moral principles that are outraged by billionaires making coats out of the poor.
None of this. Bears any resemblance. To the Cruella movie, or to The Joker or Gone Girl, or to whatever the Sympathy for the Devil panic du jour is. People aren't giving a pass to actual rich assholes because of trauma -- Relatable Trauma isn't even a significant part of the constructed public mythology of these figures. People do it because a not-insignificant number of people believe you're allowed to be an asshole if you've achieved a certain level of success; it's considered one of the perks.

Maybe I’m thinking too hard about cruella de ville but like there’s something to be said about her character as misogynist propaganda.
Like she kills puppies because she’s cartoonishly evil but that evilness is also tied to her guadiness and vanity. She’s the opposite of Anita who is demure, classically and simply beautiful, sweet and accommodating.
Evilness and anti social behavior in Disney villains is so tied to performing gender wrong. Gay coded dainty men and gaudy overbearing women. Cruella cares so much about fashion and her appearance that she’s willing to abuse animals for it. There is an “appropriate” amount of care that should go into ones wardrobe (Anita and roger are well dressed fairly fashionable people) but cruella goes beyond that to vanity. Caring too much about her own appearance is a crime unto itself.
For Disney to turn around in 2021 and try and girlbossify her is comical because they’re the ones who tied being a woman wrong to animal murder! They made a 2 dimensional evil character and now they’re trying to bring depth to her??!??And now they’re going to what? Rewrite cruella as a woman convinced she’s a feminist as she kidnaps dogs? Honestly the premise fascinates me. Is she embittered from social isolation and discrimination to the point of animal cruelty? Is that where this is going? Is this a person turned power seeking and cruel because it’s the only way she knows to protect herself from the pain of rejection?
I doubt it. More likely than not Disney’s going to Hamfist a terrible half baked feminist message into a story about cartoon lady mcDog killer but like maybe there’s room here for an interesting character study. Maybe 2 dimensional cruel devil lady can have a little complexity in my mind only.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentle gays. Before our fearless founder one of two pops in to let you know what the plans are for the weekend, I wanted to make an announcement myself. The staff has been in open communication with a few of our residents and we’re finally ready to shove our newest addition to the Dalton Sanctuary club and social media family right in your popsicle holes. Maybe I should clarify that I mean the one in your faces, some of you are nasty and that’s just the way we like it.
Anyway, on to the meat of the announcement.
This is the official unveiling of the Sanctuary Newsletter, a special place where all events, Sanctuary functions, and daily life will be showcased for the public through our shared Sanctuary social media network. 
The purpose of this endeavor is to keep everyone up to date on what’s going on at the Sanctuary and the world of BDSM knowledge as a whole. This is not a gossip blog, it will not host toxic behavior. So here’s the rest of the behind the scenes information: 
@campbellrclarington is the club captain and that gives her the title of Editor in Chief. She’s the big cheese when it comes to contributing to the Newsletter, so you’ll want to talk to her if you’d like to write, report on things or take on any other other role. Stay tuned for an announcement from her later today with more thrilling information. 
@ambroseabrams is in charge of all photography, so you’ll want to talk to him if you’re interested in submitting your work to the cause. [ooc: You can send me photos through the submit feature on the main, through the newsletter blog, Ambrose or any of my other characters. Feel free to DM them to me on Discord as well, or put them in the appropriate channel yourself and I’ll get the ones Tumblr won’t ban me for posted. Make sure to tell me which of your characters is submitting the photo so I can properly credit it.]
@jamesmoore is our tutor, and he should be Cruella DeVille for Halloween this year because he’s got a hundred and one diplomas instead of Dalmatians-- so it shouldn’t surprise you that he’s going to be the Newsletter’s Agony Aunt. For those of you unfamiliar with that term, it means you can send questions in and he’ll be featured on the blog, answering them. These can be BDSM related, relationship adjacent, or related to whatever brought you to the Dalton Sanctuary in the first place.

From Paws to Thumbs Review
 As a belated valentine’s present to my boyfriend @disneyfanforever3 I am going to be writing a lengthy review of his fanfiction that he wrote on another website called deviant art. I will leave links if you are interested in checking it out. I have also decided I will be reviewing this chapter by chapter and then summarizing it up at the end. This way I can details correct that I didn’t in my video and so it will be nice and long and thorough. Also sorry if there are spoilers.
Chapter One kind of starts out slowly but that’s okay because we are having Scamp and Angel established as characters. Chapter one takes place after the ending Lady and the Tramp Scamp’s Adventure after Angel gets adopted. These two love to explore every possible chance they get. However Lady and Tramp don’t approve of them exploring. Scamp relationship with his parents more specifically Tramp reminds me of Triton and Ariel/Ariel and Melody. Both Tramp and Ariel lied to their children about their background and they have similar personalities but with slight differences. Both Angel and Scamp are feel like outsiders to their families but it is made even worse because of Scamp’s three annoying Bitch Sisters (See what what I did there?) Annette, Nicolette and Danielle because of how they always bully both Scamp and Angel. Lady isn’t so bad but she can be annoying but Tramp irritates the hell out of me in this chapter and that is mainly due to him making promises he never keeps, his hypocrisy and him of all people should understand Angel the best. Worst of all after Scamp and Angel bust curfew really badly and trying to reason with their parents Scamp over hears his parents talking about how they think about getting rid of Scamp and Angel simply because they can’t handle them. This really tragic especially for Angel because of how she bounced around from five families and doesn’t want to lose what she has and this is terrible for Scamp because this might mean he will be separated from Angel and thanks to his sisters bullying him he all ready feels unloved.
Chapter 2 also starts off somewhat slow but that is okay because in this chapter we are introduced to the third main character from this story Patch. Patch like Angel and Scamp loves to explore and go places. He loves his family dearly and his parents love him dearly but he also feels like he is treated unfairly because of how his parents treat his brother Lucky. Lucky like Scamp’s three annoying ass sisters loves to antagonize Patch. He bullies Patch, calls him mean names and constantly excludes from adventures that he goes on with his other two siblings Rolly and Penny. Rolly and Penny don’t bully Patch but they also just stand by while Lucky is bullying Patch and say nothing. Well one night after Lucky got home late during roll call for bed time Pongo pulls Lucky a side to talk to him about his behavior and why Patch shouldn’t go to dangerous places. This reminds me of Ariel and how Triton is always scolding her about going up to the surface. Long story short Patch and Pongo argue and Patch feels defeated. To make matters worse his brother Lucky convinces Patch that their parents will give Patch away. Now we have three dogs who love to explore and they feel lost alone and a little betrayed by their families. The Dalmatians move to America for a few reasons. One Anita and Darling are sisters in this story and they want to be closer to family and two to be safe from Cruella and her two idiot Hench men.
Chapter 3 is about how the Ratcliff’s move to New England to be safe from Cruella. They travel there by boat. In this chapter things start to pick up and move along at a faster. This is where Scamp and Angel meet Patch. The three of them instantly form a bond. Well after the three pups  argued with their parents mainly Pongo and Tramp and not feeling like their parents are listening. They go and explore this house. This house belongs to a magical Wizard named Chris (Yes the author/my boyfriend inserted himself into this story all though he shows up in the next chapter) Anyways Scamp, Angel and Patch explore this beautiful house. One room catches their attention it is the magic room. This room contains a crystal ball, and a bunch of magical potions. Well they accidentally knock a magic potion over not knowing it is a magic potion. The three dogs drink it because they are thirsty and believe it to be milk. After drinking this they feel weird and fall into a deep deep sleep and end up transforming into humans.
Chapter 4 This is the Chapter where we meet the narrator/Wizard Chris. He is is in early 20s. Like any other morning Wizard Chris went down to make himself some breakfast that is until he gets side tracked by some snoring coming from his magic room. There he finds three naked children. He was not to pleased to see three naked children so he quickly covered them in robes the color of their collars. Wizard Chris has his house located far on the country side and is very much a hermit. He only leaves his house for essential items like groceries and he only talks to people when he absolutely has too. Yeah he ain’t real social is he. Well from this chapter on little did Wizard Chris know his life would be changed forever by three very special friends Scamp, Angel and Patch. Also the three children freak out for a bit because they changed from dogs to humans. over night. (BTW yes Wizard Chris gives them clothes in fact I believe he posted those pics on Tumblr if not I will give you a link once I am done with this review.)
Chapter 5.
The parents Tramp, Lady, Peridita and Pongo all try and make up with the three pups. However they are super nervous of what they are going to say. Only problem with them trying to make up with the children is that the children are gone and the parents have no clue where they are. All four parents are worried about the kids. Pongo tries to go an makes amends with Patch. In this chapter Pongo and Peridita remind me of King Triton and Sebastian  from the episode of Little Mermaid episode called Charmed. In that episode Ariel discovers a magnifying glass which she calls a  “Bigger Mcjigger” but when her father sees it he gets angry and destroys it. Later on in the episode he is practicing his apology to Ariel which is what Pongo is doing when he is preparing to talk for Patch. Both Sebastian and Peridita remind Pongo and Triton that an apology that needs to come from the heart. This chapter is probably is one of the more fun chapters because we have worried parents, three run away children and best of all Cruella is plotting her escape from insane asylum. Cruella is one of the smartest villains ever. Her escape plan involves her stealing a news paper, faking injuries and knocking out one of the guards with the rolled up news paper and then stealing his uniform. She has to wear a hat to hide her skunk colored hair because well that would blow her cover if she didn’t. She also locks the guard in her cell. “Cruella Devil Cruella Devil” if she doesn’t scare you no evil thing will.
Chapter 6
In this chapter the three puppies now turned into human children thanks to the potion learn how to act like humans. Which meaning to walk like humans, eat like humans and refraining from their dog instincts like chasing squirrel  up trees. If you guys were wonder if there were any negative side affects to this potion I am afraid there is. All three children fall ill in this chapter but luckily these are common sicknesses in children. Scamp has measles, Angel has the flu and Patch has the Chicken Pox. All though for a moment Patch thinks he caught something from a chicken lol which I thought was cute. I also learned in this chapter you don’t give sick children belles because then they become annoying but still enduring. However before they got sick the four parents were looking for them. Perdita and Lady could sense that Scamp Angel and Patch were their children while Pongo and Tramp laughed. This chapter also shows that mothers tend to be more in tune with their children. Also Wizard Chris feels like an older brother taking care of his three younger siblings and plus his “Hard shell” begins to crack when the three children become ill. (Chasing Squirrels up trees happens in the next chapter.
Chapter 7
The children have recovered from their illnesses and they along with Wizard Chris had a fun day at the park and he of course has to teach them how to act like normal children as in un teaching them from their dogie instinct. However this chapter is where things start to get more interesting because “Wizard Chris” meets this “frail old woman” who some located the big mansion that the Wizard Chris lives at. She was tired because she walked in red stilettos yeah she ain’t real smart. Well it turns out that frail old woman was Cruella. She went and stole the magic book from that Wizard Chris owns. In this chapter she puts together her own team of Villains. She steals a potion that makes animals talk. This chapter she meets Buster an old friend turned enemy of Tramp. Cruella and Buster end up making a deal to help each other get revenge. Cruella mainly wants revenge on Patch since Patch is the one defeated her and Buster wants revenge on Tramp for stealing his “Girl” (Not Lady) and running off and getting married and he wants revenge on Scamp for abandoning him. If this happens Buster will be given the chance to be a human forever and he will have money and power. She also meets the Siamese cats as in the cats that belong to Aunt Sara. She also makes a deal with the cats by promising them a life supply of Fish food and milk. They are kind of group thinkers.
Chapter 8
This chapter is probably one of my favorites because it digs into Angel’s background and how she became a street dog and why she changed home five times before getting permanently adopted by the Darlings. In case anyone is wondering what Angel’s parents look like this them and Angel of course. Her mom is the golden retriever and her dad is the Pomeranian.  https://www.deviantart.com/azulalover1/art/Angel-and-her-Parents-764104159. Anyways a brief summery of Angel’s background and how she ended up a junk yard dog for years. Once Angel was a happy little puppy with two parents just playing in a junk yard well one day this dog catcher came for the dogs. The dogs tried to run away as fast as they can but Angel’s dad accidentally got ran over by the dog catcher vehicle and her mom ended up getting her paw caught in a rail road track and got hit by a train. The poor thing seeing her parents die no wonder she keeps having nightmares. The best part about this chapter for me though is that when she wishes she would have died and Wizard Chris, Patch and Scamp but mainly Scamp reassure that she is loved and that her new family (The Darlings) won’t put her out on the street again.
Chapter 9.
Okay I am not going to lie I am going to boost my own ego here a bit. See my boyfriend wrote Paws to Thumbs long before we ever met and in this chapter he was originally going to have Scamp being chased through out the woods. I was wondering if he would consider having a dynamic between the two boys Patch and Scamp because I haven’t seen them interact that much and he also wish he could find a way to include Patch more. Well thanks to my suggestion this chapter was posted later than expected and went through a major rewrite to include Patch more and incorporate him more into the story. I really love this chapter not just because I helped inspire it but because the two boys get a chance to bond and because they have a lot in common such as being well off in families and being born into luxuries that Angel did not have until she got adopted, they both feel like their parents don’t listen to them and they both have siblings that give them a hard time because they are jealous of Patch and Scamp and they love to explore. Anyways, the three Children and Wizard Chris are the park on a beautiful day just playing until Scamp hears a strange noise. Well it turned out to be a “bear” growling at him. It soon started to chase Scamp. Patch tries to help Scamp by jumping on the “bear’s” back but ends up getting thrown off towards Scamp and the boys are chased through the woods. Scamp is almost kidnapped by Buster (which he doesn’t recognize Buster because is in his human form not dog form) and if you are wondering why I put air quotes around bear its because the bear is “Reggie” another dog that is so scary even Buster is afraid of him and even before Reggie got transformed into an actual bear he looked like a dog bear hybrid. Luckily Patch knocks out Scamp (No pun intended since Patch has a brother named Lucky) I love this chapter because the two boys bond and open up to each other about their families and how they feel their parents don’t understand them. A side from being almost killed and kidnapped in this chapter this chapter was awesome. (There are more details but as I said I will be leaving a link below so you can go check out the fanfiction and I promised Chris I wouldn’t give too many spoilers lol)
Chapter 10
This chapter isn’t quite as exciting but this chapter warms my heart because I ship Scamp and Angel so much they are such an adorable couple and in this chapter I am reminded of Cory and Topanga because both couples confess they are in love with each other at age 14. Angel tells Scamp she is in love with him but while he is sleeping. Another reason this chapter warms my heart is because this shows how much these children have come to love and care about each other. First Angel has nightmares but those stop because Wizard Chris put a spell on her to stop the nightmares. Now Scamp keeps has nightmares one about being eaten by that strange bear and the one where he over hears his parents talking about sending him away (The second one did happen as discussed in the first chapter) however before he can tell Angel about the second dream because they over heard Patch having a bad dream and that dream was about Cruella. Angel and Scamp help Patch feel better by staying up with him and talking about the nightmares and Scamp then tells Angel about his second nightmares. I adore this chapter because the kids grow closer together and share a deeper bond and that is beautiful. Well shortly the nice moments are ruined between the children when a grumpy Wizard Chris gets out of bed and disguises himself as an ugly old hag as sweet revenge for waking him from his “beauty sleep”. However another reason I love this chapter very much is that we get a bit of back ground on the narrator (Wizard Chris’s background) about how he ran away from home when he was 10 years old and he claimed he was bullied and that his dad didn’t understand him. This shows that these four ar kindred spirits. This also shows that not only did these kids need Wizard Chris but it shows that Wizard Chris needed these kids too. In this chapter it is also revealed a magic mirror that Scamp sees in the magic room. The only problem is that the magic mirror shows Scamp’s reflection half and half. As in half human half dog. Oh and the last thing about this chapter is that Scamp finally confesses he is in love with Angel all though he doesn’t say it to Angel and  Wizard Chris has to tell him. I love this chapter so much.
Chapter 11
At this point the Scamp, Angel and Patch have been humans for a little over two months and Wizard Chris has found away to change them back into dogs but there are a few problems none of the children want to go back to being dogs. Wizard Chris is trying to convince them to turn back to dogs and make them go back to their families but the only problem with that is he is being hypocritical in this chapter since he refuses to work out his issues with his family and thankfully the kids call him out on this. While the four argue about whether or not they should go back to their families. The villians in this story finally make a reappearance. Buster, Cruella and the two Siamese Cats (Si and Am) that are now humans and the three are being reprimanded by Cruella for not being able to kidnap the children. Buster’s plan of revenge is to have Tramp’s family work for him for all eternity (Okay so I added that in for dramatic affect) and Cruella has plans to still make a coat out of them (I think that is still the plan) or she plans to enslave all the puppies. (I am sure my lovely boyfriend will correct me if I got stuff wrong lol)
Chapter 12
The kids ran away into the woods just until they were out of Wizard Chris’s sight and this where Scamp reveals the information about the magic mirror to Patch and Angel and how about the they see their reflections. When the Patch and Angel look into the mirrors themselves they like Scamp also see their reflection split in half as in half dog half human and this makes them more confused then ever. The mirror reminds me of the mirror in Harry Potter the magic mirrors reflect the individual's heart’s desire. Oh and Angel almost tells Scamp that she is in love with him but of course that nice moment had to be ruined by the bear “Reggie”, Buster Cruella and Si and Am. The children were so scared they ran for their lives they got separated and didn’t even realize where they were running to until it was too late. Patch ran into Cruella his worst nightmare. She put a spell on him to make him tell her where the other Dalmatians were. Patch tried to resist telling his family wearabouts but couldn’t because the magic was too strong and he gave in. Angel were being harassed by the two Siamese Cats the two ladies chased Angel and captured her and tied her up with a rope and Angel tried to escape but couldn’t. Scamp is captured by Buster. Scamp runs from and he thinks he is free from Buster only for Buster to capture him again. Buster tries to manipulate Scamp into going with him but luckily Scamp isn’t going in so easily. Well now to review Chapter 13
Chapter 13
Finally we get to see The Darlings, Rodger and Anita in this chapter because it feels like forever since we we have seen them this also means we see Pongo, Perdita, Lady and Tramp. This chapter is about to get real interesting because Wizard Chris meets the families of the three children officially. He goes and explains everything and after he is done he has to do a bit of convincing to prove he is telling the truth. Jim is the one who needs convincing the most. Well in his defense if a random man showed up to my house claiming he was a wizard with three dogs that had turned into human children I would be skeptical as hell too. Finally Jim believes him after Chris makes the animals talk. If the four humans as in the Darlings and Anita and Rodger didn’t believe in real magic before well they are about to believe now. Anita and Rodger become extra terrified when they find out that Cruella not only escaped the insane asylum and discovered where they were now living. Wizard Chris tries to stop her but he gets trapped in a bubble and he can only get out if someone from the outside knows the spell. Buster threatens revenge on Tramp by taking Scamp and because Tramp steals his girl.  Oh and the main characters. Oh and some other dogs get turned into humans and those dogs are Tramp, Lady, Perdita, Pongo, Tramp’s sisters Rolly, Penny and Lucky. (I am getting slightly lazy with this review lol)
Chapter 14
In this Chapter the children’s parents get turned into human by Cruella and luckily they were wearing clothes since they didn’t drink a potion. Angel frees Wizard Chris from this green bubble thing. It didn’t take long for Angel to escape since she grew up a street dog and knew how to get herself out of any tricky situation so growing up a street dog in this case worked to her advantage so her and Wizard Chris to try and go and find the others. Patch and Scamp were trying to negotiate with their stuborn siblings to help them. With Patch Penny was willing to help Rolly had to be convinced to help because he wanted food like usual and Lucky was annoyed with Patch because Lucky taunts Patch all the time. Tramp’s sister were being their usually bitchy selves. I love this chapter because it has one of my favorite moments! Patch and Scamp finally stand up to their bratty siblings. Scamp shoves his three sisters and Patch punched Lucky in the eye so yay! Finally Lucky admits his jealously to Patch and Lucky is jealous because he feels Patch is the favorite. Annette, Collette and Danielle finally confess their jealously to Scamp. They are jealous of Scamp and Angel because the two aren’t afraid to be themselves and for a long time the girls though they only had their looks to rely on. I find this chapter to be one of the more exciting chapters. Buster and Tramp full on fist fight the the bratty siblings are put in their place and it is awesome. (If Reviews beome a little skimpy I am trying not to give too much away as I said there will be a link after I am done reviewing this fanficition) Oh and Cruella destroys Wizard Chris’s magic carpet but before that he turns Reggie into a mouse. Plus as a mouse he probably won’t eat any humans or at least try and he was hella scary as a dog.
Chapter 15.
Buster tries to manipulate Scamp one more time. He tells Scamp that they could be human forever and that Scamp wouldn’t have to deal with Tramp’s lies. Scamp considers this for a split second and he comes to his senses. Scamp made that mistake once and wasn’t going to do it again. He loved his family and his father very much. Cruella Dev Vil tries to manipulate Angels by offering her what she wants and that is to bring her parents back to life. Magic can do several things but it can’t bring the dead back to life. Cruella tries to kill Angel but fortunately fails well fortunately to Scamp and Angel while unfortunately to Cruella. Scamp almost dies by falling out of a tree but luckily Wizard Chris has just enough magic to keep the tree but unfortunately due to the spell on his hands he wasn’t able to hold it long. Anyways Angel declines Cruella’s offer and realizes that she has a family that truly loves her. Once again Scamp was this close to telling Angel he is madly in love with her but that doesn’t happen for two reasons the villains interrupt them and because Angel isn’t sure they will make it out of their situation alive. Buster tries to kill Scamp and Angel but misses because he gets hit in the back of the head. Cruella tries to kill them but thankfully she misses because Patch jumps on her back. He tries to steal the book back but can’t he rips out a page he chants a spell hoping to harm Cruella but all he does is grow a dinky little flower. Cruella ties the three kids up and tries to kill the once more but fails. WIzard Chris wakes up frees the children and Buster and Cruella start to fight.
Chapter 16
This is the second to last chapter and it is kind of sad but I have enjoyed writing this review just like I have reading the fanfiction. I love this chapter because the main four characters bond and the kids learn how to do magic. They use a magic spell to defeat Buster and Cruella. However this spell requires four wizards because it has to have the four elements which are water, fire, earth and air. While the four Wizard Chris, Scamp Angel, and Patch have come up with a plan to defeat Buster and Cruella the two are arguing on who gets to kill who. This chapter reminded me of Halloween Town 2 when Marni wants to reopen the portal and her family and her one Goblin friend Luke who is not a warlock helps her anyway because he is her friend and he believes. The three children are not Wizards but they believe in magic they love each other. Oh and I forgot to mention that Cruella had split the ground earlier and turned into lava. Scamp tries to Angel he is in love but she wants him to hold off because at that moment life felt too short. The four defeated the two villains once and for all. However I would argue their own vanity and greed killed them. They fell in the lava. Scamp tried to save Buster but failed. When Cruella died her dark magic wore off and didn’t last forever. Si and Am turned back into cats and all of the magic Cruella performed was undone and the magic carptet was restored. If this chapter taught me anything revenge is never the answer and your own greed could litterally end up killing you. Also everyone makes up with their families and Lady and Angel have a beautiful moment together. Another one of my favorite moments is that Wizard Chris realizes how much he loves the children and the parents come to and understanding with their children. Oh and Scamp’s three sisters and Patch’s brother Lucky all get grounded for a month for bullying.
Chapter 17. 
Well people we have arrived at the final chapter. Wizard Chris heads back to go make up with his family. He is very sad because he has grown to love the children and he was going to miss them so finally he heads back to his family and at first they don’t recognize him because he is now a grown adult in his early 20s and not the 10 year old little boy that ran away. I also forgot to mention that Wizard Chris lied to the children about his family not looking for him because they did he just used magic to hide himself. The one reason his parents recognize and know that it is him is because of a scar he has on his right eyebrow. This chapter really warms my heart because Wizard Chris gets to make amends with his family gets them back in his life while also gaining a new family with the three children and their families. The three children decide to stay human so they can have a life of freedom and joy. They might have been born dogs but will live out the rest of their lives as humans. Also Wizard Chris moves his house along with the Darling’s house to be next the plantations where Anita and Rodger live along with the Dalmatians. Angel decides to live with Wizard  Chris, Jr is happy he gets a big brother and Patch is happy too! The three dogs now turned humans can live their life of freedom and still keep their family.
Well this review was going up later than I intended but none the less this was a belated Valentine’s day present for awesome boyfriend @disneyfanforever3. I really loved this fan-fiction because it shows that no matter what trouble you are having with family they will always love you and care for you. I also liked how Tramp developed in this series and I am happy he got a nice moment with Angel. He realizes that he should have understood her the most just because how similar their back grounds were. Also Scamp and Angel finally pronounce their love for each other and it makes me so happy! I hope I got some details right because for some chapters I skimmed and tried to give you the gist. Anyways here is a link to his fanfiction if you want to go check it out. https://www.deviantart.com/azulalover1/gallery/62089614/From-Paws-To-Thumbs 
Also I want state we have officially been dating for a month but we both think one month anniversaries are stupid but I just felt like sharing that. Anyways I hope enjoy this review. Oh and I should mention that Patch always felt like Lucky got special treatment. Well the reason Pongo and Perdita were easy on Lucky was because for Lucky was dead for a few moments when he was born hence why he was named Lucky.
