The basic idea circles around getting an even blood flow to the skin around the follicles.

Can I just say, as a Disney Villain Recruiters fan: I’m absolutely OBSESSED with your take on Veil! It’s so creative and cool, and I’d kill to see more of her and your take on the other Recruiters as well! Your version of Veil actually kind of reminds me of Double from Skullgirls a bit, and I could definitely see her true form being similarly eldritch and horrific. I could also definitely see her saying “What IS a man? A miserable little pile of secrets!” to boot as well.

Thanks!!! I don't have any art of them at the moment but I did have a list of ideas of how I'd incorporate them into my DisneyVerse project!

Disney Villain Recruiters/Apprentices

Mr V-- Valentin Duvalier ( either Faciler apprentice or possibly his Shadow given human form, haven't quite decided yet)

These three would all be Loa (Friends on the Other Side) given human forms to walk around in on the mortal plane

Ms Scatter

Ms Villa

Mr Polite

Apple Poison --Griswold Vergiften, Son of Grimauld, so Queen Grimhilde's nephew

Jack Heart--Jester of the Court of Hearts

Mr Dalmetia-- Is apparently a puppy called Prince who was changed by dark magic to enact Cruella's will/act as her personal agent. And actually, I'll just keep this xD . The second book had flying dogs. Magic has canon precedence. Plus Cruella in my DisneyVerse is descended from Princess Ivy so, magic precedence there too. Let her ascend to true devil mode xD

Malfi-- Look its the exact thing as Diaval, so that's who he is, Diablo the Raven given human form by Maleficent

Eight Foot Joe--Octopus who made deal with Ursula to become a cecaelia, simple and to the point, I'll keep him as is.

Lady Pirate Hock-- Harriet Hook from my Canon Descendants rewrite

Veil-- Female demon linked to an Enchanted bell sent into the world as a reliquary/agent of Frollo, trying to get out of Hell by doing something to the Bells of Notre Dame, to stop their protective ringing over the city -(gets involved in redone HOND 2, with Claudine and Madeline and whatnot)

Pretty Scar--Nzuri, a hyena (could also just be Shenzi?)

Farja-- Official apprentice of Jafar. Rename to Faja? Could also be his neice Jade by his sister Nasira if I want to go in a Canon Descendants rewrite way. She uses plant based magic, hebce her color changing flower

Ms Hades-- Orphne, a nymph of Hades, his personal secretary

Ahadi and Miaisha sharing a peaceful moment together, both met as cubs when their parents decided to bring both their prides together by betrothing the two together.

Ahadi was the youngest cub of Kiara and Kovu while Miaisha was the youngest cub of Rani and Nzuri

Languages

I never became fluent in any foreign language although I was attracted to many.

I did manage to learn a few words of Swahili during a time when I thought about moving to Tanganyika, back when there was still a country called Tanganyika.

Jambo means hello Kisu means knife Nzuri means good

But how often can you use good knife in everyday conversation ?

Jambo Mr. bus driver, nzuri kisu!

It’s probably just as well that I never made it to Tanganyika, especially since there is no longer a Tanganyika.

FLP BOOK OF THE DAY: The Wrong Place by Tawn Parent

On SALE now! Pre-order Price Guarantee: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/the-wrong-place-by-tawn-parent/

The Wrong Place attempts to answer the question: How does a #mother cope when her worst nightmare comes true? This collection of #poems and #essays chronicles the author’s journey alongside her young son as he is diagnosed and treated for a rare #cancer. Readers follow the #family as they learn the vocabulary of cancer, develop a new way of #parenting, and grieve the loss of their son’s innocence. The #family navigates endless medical procedures and hospital stays while seeking to maintain a sense of themselves outside of “cancer world.” Throughout, the author relies on humor and hope to pull her through.

A native and resident of Indianapolis, Tawn Parent has been a professional writer and editor for 30 years. Her poetry and essays have appeared in Tipton Poetry Journal, Home Planet News Online, Anti-Heroin Chic, Last Stanza Poetry Journal, and Nzuri. She has worked for various business publications, and also served as proofreader for two books.

PRAISE FOR The Wrong Place by Tawn Parent

Tawn Parent’s powerful new collection of poetry, The Wrong Place, takes us on a terrifying journey no one ever wants to take. Yet her language of careful understatement and humility and her final insights that lead to a certain wisdom, make us all the better for having done so. This is an important book that needs to be read.

–Matthew Graham, author of The Geography of Homeand 2020-23 Indiana State Poet Laureate

In The Wrong Place, Tawn Parent does what she must do: Tell the compelling story of her teen son’s treacherous cancer journey and hers as a mother by his side. “Is this my son…” she asks, “this teen…/cruising toward adulthood/suddenly entered freefall/ and landed back in my arms.” From the moment he wakes with pain to numerous treatments later, she immerses you in their lives, teetering on tears (“What’s oncology?” he asked) to welcoming relief and joy: “Here is the bell,” the nurse says, “Come ring it!” In Parent’s book, you are in the right place for insightful poems of courage and hope.

–Bonnie Maurer, author of The Reconfigured Goddess, Poems of a Breast Cancer Survivor

Tawn Parent’s The Wrong Place is required reading for anyone who has been touched by cancer. Parent’s heartfelt poems follow her journey through her young son’s diagnosis and how it affects her and her family, like when she discovers the side effects of “the five drugs/with their unpronounceable names” that may produce “red urine, red sweat … red tears” and she tries to “picture my son with red tears/coursing down his cheeks/It sounds like a horror movie.” She also learns “Parenting a child with cancer/has meant throwing out/so many rules…,” and shares with us about the first difficult Christmas. But through it all, Parent never loses her defiant humor or her unyielding hope in writing about such a difficult subject and in turn gives others a glimpse of how to cope with something so unthinkable as a child with cancer.

–Lylanne Musselman, author of It’s Not Love, Unfortunately and Staring Dementia in the Face

I FEEL COMPELLED TO SHARE A STORYTIME FROM MY TRAVELS TO TANZANIA THIS SUMMER

So I went to Tanzania for a summer program. I ended up learning a bit of conversational Swahili, but English is my mother tongue. Now, mind you, I know Japanese as well. Nowhere enough to be fluent, but enough to know general words.

(could I converse with the Japanese kids on program? Hell no. Did they think me trying to speak Japanese in my funny little American accent was adorable and they wanted to treasure me? Yes. Unfortunately.)

But by the end of about two weeks, I was able to impress the new batch of people (I stayed the whole month while all but three other people stayed the rest of the time with me) with my newfound speaking skills, and so they thought I knew what the fuck I was talking about.

and Boy, Oh Boy, did I get ahead of myself.

Now, a little lesson for you; Jambo is slang for ‘hey-o’ for tourists. Market-goers will call it out to you expecting you to repeat it back. Now, the FUNNIEST thing was replying back in full-ass Swahili like we were taught and watching these people lose their MINDS.

“Aye-o, Jambo!”

“Sijambo, na wewe?”

Now, THIS— this roughly translates to,

“Aye-o, hey! Tourist!”

“Hello! How are you?”

BAHAHAHAHAHAAHA—

oh, watching older African men lose their SHIT to a little 5’0 scrunkly-ass American boy spit THIS back out at them was COMEDY GOLD.

Another time was me acting like me and the kitchen staff could hold a conversation:

“Ah, bui-bui! Habari za asubuhi?”

“Nzuri sana! Na wewe?”

“Nzuri, nzuri.”

Which roughly translates to,

“Ah, spider!* how’s the morning?”

“Very good! How about yourself?”

“Well, well.”

*bui-bui is ‘spider’ in Swahili, which was the nickname for our driver, Lukumay.

BUT OHHHHHH MANNNN, was it so much fun. God, do I miss it there.

Era uma vez, um príncipe que já estava desacreditado e sem esperança de que um dia iria ter a chance de viver algo recíproco de verdade, de que um dia seria merecedor de um relacionamento tranquilo e saudável, já havia desistido do amor. O príncipe mais romântico e carinhoso do reino Mounier, a Rainha chegou a ficar preocupada com a extrema negatividade do Príncipe que carinhosamente era chamado de Sr.neném.

Depois de alguns dias o príncipe estava tendo sonhos constantes com uma Princesa que ele já conhecia desde a infância e isso deixou ele perturbado, sem entender o porquê estava sonhando com ela, após alguns dias os dois se encontraram. Surgiu então um clima estranho de ambas as partes, os dois conversaram e descobriram que estavam pensando um no outro e naquela mesma noite sobre a luz da lua, eles se beijaram e depois desse beijo, os dois não desgrudaram mais...

O príncipe foi percebendo o quanto a princesa era incrível e fazia ele feliz, dia após dia cada era como se o sentimento fosse crescendo como um furacão, mesmo depois de meses ele ainda não estava acreditando que está vivendo o que sempre sonhou.

No dia em que completam 2 meses juntos e 1 mês de namoro assumidos para todos o príncipe resolveu fazer uma grande surpresa, mesmo com medo da princesa o achar louco ele seguiu em frente com o plano, depois de ter levado ela para um piquenique no lugar do primeiro beijo, ele a levou até a praia mais próxima com ela de olhos vendados, a levou até o local onde estava tudo pronto, assim que ela estava no lugar certo, ele se ajoelhou na frente dela e pediu para que ela tirasse a venda e lá estava ele ajoelhado com um pomo de ouro na mão, ele abriu e lá estava o anel de noivado, ele todo emocionado, se declarou.

─ Há um pouco mais de 2 meses atrás eu jamais iria imaginar que hj estaria tão feliz e realizado, você já estava em meus pensamentos, mas não fazia ideia de que era você o que eu sempre sonhei, já nos conhecemos há um pouco mais de 2 anos, hoje você me faz o homem mais feliz e sortudo desse mundo todo por ter você ao meu lado, eu lhe prometo todo meu amor, minha lealdade e fidelidade, você é tudo o que eu sempre quis, o meu amor por você é como o universo: ele é infinito e está em constante expansão. E com isso eu quero passar o resto da minha vida com você. Nzuri Dreschler, 𝐯𝐨𝐜𝐞̂ 𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐚 𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐨?

Era uma das memórias preferidas da princesa Danny, bastava fechar seus olhos para o rosto daquele garoto que costumava arrancar os mais singelos sorrisos ficar mais nítido. A princesa sorria ao recordar com carinho, mesmo sem entender naquela manhã, até que foi surpreendida com à notícia de que ele estava a caminho das terras de seu pai.

A chegada do príncipe foi marcada pelo evento da maior lua de todos os tempos, o reencontro naquela noite foi cercado boas gargalhadas, mas entre eles havia um clima estranho. Aquele garotinho se tornou um homem admirável que ajudava a governar seu reino de forma justa. Para princesa ele estava diferente e ao mesmo tempo continuava o mesmo rapaz gentil e de bom coração. Durante a longa conversa foi revelado o que ambos sentiam, até que o primeiro beijo de amor verdadeiro despertou em ambos o desejo de viver para sempre ao lado do outro.

Eles viveram cada dia juntinhos como se fosse o último, nem tudo era perfeito obviamente, mas os obstáculos serviam apenas para provar que eles estavam com a pessoa certa. O aniversário de namoro tinha chegado, a princesa vivia um dia ruim mas o príncipe Mounier foi paciente acolhendo a mesma em seus braços aguardando a sua melhora. Então na noite seguinte à levou para um piquenique, em seguida a vendou a guiando para uma praia e assim à pediu em casamento, ela certamente não acreditou em ve-lo de joelhos com um pomo de ouro em suas mãos e o anel e após ouvir e se emocionar com cada palavra dita, ela se ajoelhou dizendo:

─ Se eu soubesse que aquele garotinho de anos atrás seria o grande amor da minha vida não tinha deixado ele seguir sem mim. Mas é aquilo tudo acontece quando tem que acontecer, e sim, voce é louco, mas sou apaixonada nas suas loucuras. Eu seria tola se a resposta fosse outra, e sei que não tivemos os melhores momentos nesses últimos dias, mas agradeço por me mostrar que nós somos mais fortes do que tudo isso. E se me perguntarem se eu ainda te amo depois de todo esse tempo e se me casaria com você, eu direi:

𝐒𝐈𝐌, 𝐒𝐄𝐌𝐏𝐑𝐄.

Então, 𝐒𝐈𝐌, 𝐞𝐮 𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐫 com você e te fazer imensamente feliz.
