RWRB Movie Thoughts: Parents
Okay I'm back to writing long RWRB posts! With the sequel announcement, Nick calling Uma his mother-in-law, Uma calling Taylor and Nick her sons, and Mother's day just passing, here's a post dedicated to the cast of parents in RWRB:
So let's start with the family that's alright fully cast, the Claremont- Diaz family:
Aren't they gorgeous?
But I gotta say, the familial casting is spot-on: Taylor legitimately looks like he could be a genetic combination of Uma and Clifton. I suck at pointing out familial resemblance (and I'm saying this as a sketch student who spent the past two years drawing portraits, ha), but I feel like Taylor and Uma had similar eyes and maybe a similar nose? Either way they really look like they could be a family
And while Uma has also played Nick's mother in chambers, I feel like there's the resemblance is a lot less between those two?
Now onto the Fox Family:
We as a fandom, I feel like to a certain degree Casey included, all collectively decided that Jude Law is Arthur Fox, and if you look at it, Thomas Flynn (Philip) looks alarmingly similar to him
Also here's a photo of Jude Law with his two sons and his daughter, the vision is crystal clear
As for Catherine, there's much less of a consensus, but funnily enough, I feel like Julianne Moore, who played Nick's mother in Mary and George, and Ellie Bamber (Beatrice) look similar enough to be mother and daughter: similar lips and maybe eye shape?
That leaves Nick/Henry out, which, while symbolically fitting, genetically doesn't work 😂
Or maybe there's something there I'm not seeing? Idk, someone please do chip it

The Thief And The Fairy
An Ellie Williams x Maleficent!Reader au. part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5
An: This fic is the result of an idea that’s been rotting my head for months. The story line will be extremely close to Maleficent, and a lot of the lines will be exact to the film. Fair warning, it is a strangers to lovers to enemies sooo yeah 🫶 not proof read.
|~~~|~~~|~~~|~~~|~~~|~~~|~~~|~~~|~~~|~~~|~~~|
Once upon a time, in a far off land, there lived a little girl. She was no ordinary girl, for she lived in the branches of a tree on the top of a mountain. Most of her features resembled a human, however a few of her features did not.
The girl carried long, dark, feathered wings on her back, and upon her head were two scaled horns that curled ever so slightly. Her ears were almost human, as they spiked near the tops, and her cheek bones were as sharp as a blade.
The girls wings could carry her high up into the clouds and she felt like she danced with the stars as she flew, the wings never faltered nor failed her. She trusted them with her whole life.
Her tree belonged to her land, known as the Moors. It was located in a large forest next to a kingdom. The Moors and the kingdom had been at war for centuries, until 7 years ago, when the king had claimed her parents heads on his sword. Two years later, the king had died and his son, Jesse, took his place on the throne.
Because of this, Y/N was unfortunately the only one of her kind left in the Moors. There were goblins, Gorgons, Pixies, Sirens, Spriggans, mushroom fae and more. There were many family’s of each, creating a population of the Moor folk.
Although Y/N was only 14 years old, she claimed the title of the protector of the Moors, just like her parents once were. This was a mutual agreement between the moor-folk as she had the strongest wings and a power stronger than they had seen ever before. She was able to heal and break with the stroke of her finger, and she did not know what she was fully capable of, yet.
One day, Y/N was helping some of the pixies mend some of the crops, as a storm had destroyed their farmland the night before. As she used her magic to heal the poor crops, one of the Spriggan soldiers, Balthazar, came to her.
The Spriggan folk look a lot like trees. They disguise themselves as such from the humans, as a way to hide from them. Their ears are large and can shield their faces from harm, they have sharp wooden teeth and their body’s almost resemble a skeleton made out of wood. Their jobs were along side Y/N, as her soldiers. They usually carry wooden spears with them as weapons and did not speak human like the pixies and Y/N could, however they could still understand it.
Balthazar made some earthy deep sounds, which is the Spriggans way of communicating.
“What do you mean there’s a human in the Moors? there hasn’t been for years.” Y/N protested, slightly nervous to encounter her first human since the last war, where her parents were stolen from her.
He replied with similar noises as a moment ago.
“She’s stealing from the pool of jewels? Tor heavens sake we need to stop her. They’re not hers to take.” She announced before flying up into the clouds and towards the pool of jewels.
When she arrived, two more Spriggans were surrounding the entrance to a small cave in the mountain right next to the pool, however it was covered in ivy so she couldn’t see the human hidden inside. She landed on a grass covered rock inside the pool, in-between the Spriggans.
“Come out!” She demanded. She had no response from the human, maybe they speak a different language now? She decided to try her luck again.
“Come out this instant!” She spoke louder than before.
“No! They mean to kill me!” A female voice spoke. Her accent was different to the humans that Y/N remembered. Perhaps the humans had changed their way of speaking the language.
“They don’t mean to harm you whatsoever. They know you have something that doesn’t belong to you. You have to give it back!” She spoke loud and clear.
The hidden human hesitated, but slowly crept out of the ivy, into the open. She had auburn brown hair, pale green eyes and freckles scattered along her face. Her hair was tied up into a pony tail and she wore ragged old clothes, covered with an old brown cloak. She looked quite small for a human.
“Are you fully grown?” Y/N asked curiously, analysing the humans appearance.
“No..” The human responded.
“I believe she’s just..a girl?” Y/N said slightly confused to her soldiers.
“And you’re just a girl…i think..?” The human stepped into the conversation.
“Who are you?” Y/N asked the human who stood before her.
“I’m called Ellie. Ellie Williams. Who are you?” She replied with confidence.
“Y/N” The fairy replied with the same amount of confidence. One of the Spriggans quickly reminded her of why she was here, meeting the human.
“Yes! right.” She spoke. “Like i said earlier, i believe you have something that doesn’t belong to you.”
“No i dont.” Ellie said confused, trying to act dumb. Y/N rolled her eyes and held out her hand expectedly. Sighing, Ellie digged into her pocket, retrieving a jewel and chucked it to Y/N’s hand. Y/N then gently tossed the jewel back into the pool.
Y/N and Ellie walked together through the forest, as Y/N wanted to make sure the girl was safe leaving. Ellie’s eyes were glued to Y/N’s wings, she felt drawn to them. They were like nothing she’d seen before. She decided to speak before her stares got too weird.
“if i’d known you’d throw it away i would have kept it.” Ellie complained, knowing she could have gotten a meal by paying with that jewel, she couldn’t remember the last time she’d eaten a whole meal.
“I didn’t throw it away. I delivered it home, as i’m going to do with you.” She announced. The girls walked through the woodlands together in a comfortable silence. Ellie admired the nature around them, and gasped as fireflies flew passed them.
Finally, they reached the end of the forest where there was a large grass field that separated the Moors from the kingdom.
Ellie came to a halt, Y/N following suit.
“Y’know, some day i’ll live there,” Ellie spoke, pointing into the distance. “In the castle.” She frowned, hoping her dreams will someday come true.
“Well where do you live now?” Y/N asked curiously. She was so drawn to Ellie in a way she couldn’t describe. She’d never felt like this before.
Ellie turned her face away, embarrassed to face Y/N as she responded. “In a barn..”
“So your parents are farmers then?” Y/N continued, not noticing Ellie’s demeanour change.
“My parents are dead.” Ellie responded quite bluntly, her head hanging low.
“Mine too.” Y/N looked at Ellie with sympathy. Maybe not all humans were bad anymore. Maybe it was time for the moors to stop being afraid.
Ellie looked back at Y/N with the same expression. She stared into the fairy’s eyes for a while before speaking up.
“We’ll see each other again.” She said with confidence, turning so her back was to Y/N and took a few steps forward
“You really shouldn’t come back here you know.. it’s not safe.” Y/N protested, she almost cared for the human. She felt connected to her in ways she didn’t understand.
Ellie turned around again to face the winged girl. “and if i made that choice, if i came back…would you be here?” Ellie asked with a smile tugging on her lips.
Y/N looked around for a moment, she was lost in thought.
“Perhaps.” She shrugged with a smile. Ellie was beaming, and stretched her hand out to shake Y/Ns. When the girl took Ellie’s hand, she immediately took it back and gasped in pain. Ellie’s face dropped and concern rushed through her body.
“What’s wrong?!” She exclaimed, her eyes searching Y/N’s face for answers. Y/N gripped her palm in pain, where Ellie’s ring touched seconds ago.
“Your ring..Iron burns fairy’s.” She explained to the concerned human in front of her.
“I’m so sorry!” Ellie said apologetically, before she took her ring off and threw it as far as she could. Y/N felt her face heat up and her heart grow warmer. Humans were a lot kinder than she thought, so it seems.
“I like your wings.” Ellie spoke, interrupting Y/Ns thoughts. The fairy’s grin only grew wider upon hearing her words as Ellie walked across the fields, towards her home.
Later that night, Y/N couldn’t sleep. Her mind was flooded with thoughts of Ellie and how she, who had so little in the world, threw away her ring so that their hands might touch again. Her heart longed to see the human once more, and all her hatred towards the humans had shifted into peace in her mind. She believed that maybe they’ve changed, and that there is good in them.
The young thief who had once hoped to steal a jewel, had managed to steal something far more precious.
“Y/N?” Ellie called outside the forrest, where they she had last seen the fairy. “Y/N!” She called over and over again. After a minute or two of calling her name, she decided it was hopeless and sighed. Suddenly, there was a gust of wind behind her, and she heard something thump onto the ground.
Turning around in a haste, Ellie saw the girl she had hoped to see stood in front of her, smiling ear to ear.
“After all these weeks, look who came back” Y/N teased. Ellie smirked and walked closer to the girl.
“I thought it was worth the risk.” She replied, a smile growing bigger on her face by the second. “So, what do you do to entertain yourself around here?” Ellie asked, and Y/N only replied with a smirk.
“Follow me.” She spoke before running into the Moors. Ellie quickly followed suit, curious as to where they were going.
