#she would be so much cooler

[rookflower]

you see, i don't hate ivypool, but i also think dovewing should be legally allowed to kill her if she ever wants to at this point because come on

[goldensunset]

i think it is within my right to make posts that are like ‘kairi really doesn’t need to be girlbossified i really don’t see her as having much of a desire to fight beyond doing what is absolutely necessary to help her friends i think she feels pressured into it just to try to keep up with them’ and then turn around ten seconds later and make posts that are like ‘kairi gun. when will she enter her murder era. let her pop off. killing and violence girl <3’

assorted doug eiffel fantasy genre thoughts that will never cohere into a proper post but i want to say anyway: love that lotr is one of his more-frequently-referenced series. doug eiffel is the guy who is dying to tell you viggo mortensen broke his toes while kicking that helmet. thinking about gabriel urbina saying eiffel's favorite game of thrones character was robb and, doing the math, they realized the last episode to air before he left earth would've been the one right before the red wedding. thinking about the not-technically-canon dnd script and how he would be so so insufferable to dm for because he has his character's whole story planned out and he gets frustrated every time the game doesn't adhere to it. doug eiffel is the guy who gets really annoying about other people not doing their character voices. and you'd think maybe he would be a better dm than a player, if he wants to tell wild stories and do character voices so badly, but he would never be willing to plan for it and he insists he wants to play even though it makes him mad every time. doug eiffel has a very specific and very fervent pet peeve about the prevalence of giant spiders in high fantasy and you should not get him started.

Alucard or Anthy

Alucard

Anthy

Both

the day i assign each strawhat a pokemon team (ft honorable mentions bc theres just So many different pokemon that fit them for many reasons. and like i'd see why others would assign them diff pokemon. but this is just in My Eyes) it'd be over for everyone

plus whenever i get a new interest, i immediately think about what pokemon my favs would have 😭

im noT finished with my list yet but the most common headcanon i've seen is luffy and aipom and monferno !! (both are monkey pokemon :3 and monferno is fire/fighting type...) so ofc he'd have them. BUT !! THERE ARE ALSO BUG POKEMON DO NOT FORGET !! HE'D ABSOLUTELY FREAK (POSITIVELY) SEEING THEM ESPECIALLY HERACROSS

also this is Just Me but i think it'd be really cute for nami to have swablu and wingull... like i cant really put it into words bc i dont have the words (though swablu should be self explanatory) (btw you will see a lot of me assign the strawhats pokemon purely based on vibes... but can u blame me theres over 1000 pokemon) AND SHE'D SOOOO HAVE A MEOWTH CMON !! cat burglar nami... meowth that likes to collect shiny coins and if it likes its trainer enough/in a good mood it'd show them its hosrd of treasure...

brook would absolutely have kricketune and you cant change my mind... (yohohoing and delelelewooping in the distance) also during that void of 50 years, he meets dhelmise (ghost/grass type)

obviously, zoro would have sword related pokemon like honedge(and its evolutions) and gallade and ceruledge and— YKNOW!! but (not so) fun fact about honedge. it is steel/ghost type and according to its pokedex, the pokemon is born when a spirit inhabits a sword... kuina and wado ichimonji... see where im going with this?

ANYWAY more thoughts eventually (it has been collecting dust in my notes app for months) but i love pokemon and combining them with my interests...

by the way sanji would have talonflame and i will elaborate later (i hope)

[mg549]

if gege wasn't a coward he would've made utahime sing and dance but noooooo we were only allowed gakuganji and his guitar

[sirnavergi]

the concept of having a “main” oc is silly to me SIMPLY because i dont have one. i have several separate stories that exist within the same collection of universes with different main characters. but calling either of them my “main oc” sounds wrong. not because i love them all equally or anything (i dont i am favoritism central) but because IF i had to pick one, my main oc and my favorite oc, it would be this cat girly ive had since i was 8 years old. who is not the main character of anything BUT she does have a girlboss empire and shes killed death

Dolores’s Villain Song

Hey friends! So. I did a thing. A thing called I STAYED UP UNTIL FIVE AM AND RECALLED THOSE MEME POSTS BEING ALL LIKE “the kids are the villain in Encanto!” “The trees are the villain in Encanto!” “Encanto is the villain in Encanto!!” and it got me thinking. I then fell asleep and proceeded to have a dream in which Dolores was the villain of Encanto. Yeah yeah I know, MatPat did a theory that some people thought was bonkers ̶b̶u̶t̶ ̶a̶c̶t̶u̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶m̶a̶d̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶l̶o̶t̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶s̶e̶n̶s̶e̶ so yeahhhh. I can’t just let this slide, so here! Have a bogus Encanto AU!

Basically, the movie, but throughout the film more focus is shown on Dolores’s expressions and stuff. She’s as she usually is, but seems more easily annoyed, and whenever Mariano is brought up she seems to literally despair, but it’s implied Abuela doesn’t want her to be loud and literally just wants her to be the listening ear (you can like see her glaring at Dolores after she spills at the family argument lmao) and then things go to crap. Isabela and Mirabel see Abuela coming near after “What Else Can I Do?” and they rush outside, trying to get away from her, and the family dramatically crowds around the two. Isabela is genuinely terrified of Abuela. Well, everyone goes outside but Dolores, whose gift in this AU is more than just hearing but has to do with absorbing sound waves as a hall..

TRANSCRIPT TIME BABY WHOOOOO! Mirabel’s yelling about how Isa doesn’t wanna marry Mariano and then and then—

~~~~

ABUELA, from outside: But look at Mariano! He’ll be just so perfect for you, Isabela! Perfection or no perfection isn’t he just wonderful?! He loves you, Isabela! Are you seriously going to leave the poor boy on his own?! [Dolores is inside, near the door as she’d tried to head out, but she hears Mariano’s name and flinches, backing away and giving a glimpse to the candle, which is still exceptionally bright from Isabela and Mirabel’s hug. She pulls her hair down from its bun and sneaks from the hall into Isabela’s room. She finds a purple flowery dress and slips behind a flowery changing screen and comes out, spinning, wearing the dress. It doesn’t fit her very well and she itches at it.]

DOLORES in a high voice, mimicking Isabela: Yes, Mariano, aren’t I just beautiful and perfect and graceful? I grow cacti, I grow flowers and.. well, just forget about Dolores. She wishes she were as perfect as me—

[Dolores trips over her feet as she tries to prance and falls face-first into some flowers.] DOLORES: Ugh, ¡¿por qué?!

[She stands and heads outside the hall, itching again at the flowers and grumbling under her breath.]

ISABELA, muffled: But Abuela—

ABUELA: Isabela, please..

[Dolores’s eyes widen, and she seems to crumple in on herself as their words become unintelligible. She rushes to her room and sits on her bed. She starts to cry. The camera moves up to a small photo of her; her room is full of instruments and part-soundproofed areas, but she obviously can’t unhear Abuela still so adamant Isabela should marry Mariano. The photo frame shows her as a young girl next to Abuela during her gift ceremony, but she looks worried as her hand presses to her ear. A flashback sequence starts, showing a younger Dolores at the dinner table. She reacts to a noise nobody else can hear and flinches.]

YOUNG DOLORES: Abuela, my ears hurt! I keep hearing so many things from around town and I can’t turn it off! Kids are yelling. It’s so loud!

ABUELA: Don’t worry, Dolores. It may be bad for now, but just think! Your gift will be helping our family.

[Flash back to the present. The muffled sounds of people talking grow louder and Dolores stuffs her hands to her ears, still crying. She mouths the words “shut up” over and over again, but no sound comes out. An instrumental plays— it’s a reprise of “What Else Can I Do?” but it’s sadder, yet somehow sinister. Dolores slowly stands and steps towards the picture, moving her hands to wipe her tears away.]

DOLORES, singing:

Never do the unexpected

Stand up straight, stick it through

Uphold the family that wants you to hear it all and never asked you..

What else do you want to do?

[Dolores walks outside her room and paces around the halls, her head downcast.]

Bury weakness that exposes

You can hear things as far as a mile

Doesn’t anyone think I don’t wanna hear

Everything going on while

I must support the family, act like I’m okay, listen while he says she’s perfect

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I can hear, you’re hard on them all, but I feel like I can’t even speak

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I’m not something who’s feelings you forget

What if I’m done with your games?

I’ll go my own way

[DOLORES walks out downstairs and sees the petals Isabela made all over the floor. She tosses them in the air and mimics her cousin again.]

A hurricane of jacarandas

Strangling figs

Hanging vines

Isa, I love you, but have you ever asked what I think?

It’s cold in your shadow

[She picks up a flower petal.]

When you neglect a flower, it will wilt away

Until all of its colors have drained away

If you know that, why don’t you know cousins are the same?

Don’t want to be your amiga if you don’t care

Oh, Bruno said he’d only love you!

[Dolores punches the petal and it breaks in her hand. She slams it down and rushes to Julieta’s kitchen, and starts to hack at the flowers on her dress with a cutting knife]

You are no prized, precious flower

Tried to hide my sorrow but it will erupt

Yeah, you’re a rose with thorns

That’s great, but I too can shine

I can shine!

[As she holds the high note on “shine”, she throws down the scissors and the camera quickly moves to Dolores’s door, which suddenly shifts, as the sound waves that are depicted going towards her move so that they’re coming from her, her hands turning outward as if she’s directly sending out the sound. Dolores doesn’t notice, and meanwhile slams her foot down. A sound wave seems to come from her, rattling the floor boards. Pan to outside, where the Madrigal family looks around.]

MIRABEL: What was that sound?

[The music pauses and Dolores looks down, a bit confused. She nervously plays with her hair, wondering if she really did that. She backs away and memories of Dolores’s past in the movie and in her childhood play over the screen briefly: a scene of her hearing other kids talk about her being weird as a child, her having to listen to Mariano say he wants five babies with Isabela, her hearing Bruno in the walls and refusing to tell anyone as his prediction for her echoes in her mind. She hears the family members outside discussing the sound and dashes to a previously-unseen sunroom in the Casa, slowly smiling. The music starts again, now actively sinister and no longer resembling the original song, more distorted now.]

DOLORES, singing again. her voice not quiet as it was before but much louder:

A quiet world, I can be secluded

I’ll be the one everyone has to listen to

(I’ve weaponized my curse)

My life is mine to do with as I choose

And I don’t have to hear all of you!

(Any of you-ooh-ooh)

[A sound wave comes directly from her, so loud it rattles the floor. Casita attempts to fix things and rattles back, the windows shaking as they put up the covers from the light so they won’t crack, casting Dolores in mostly darkness.]

What could they possibly expect was going to happen when they made me be quiet?

They never cared when things got too loud for me

I just wanted someone to turn it down

[A brief crescendo as the music changes.]

Turn it down..

[Another sound wave leaves her body, breaking the ground beneath her, and she rushes out and faces the candle head on.]

I have a mama who’s gift is a curse

I have a cousin who was lost without a gift

I have an Abuela who weaponizes us all

What could I do to fix this?

Oh, what could I do?

(What else can I do? What else can I do? What else, what else..)

[As the background words of her voice slowly get louder, the candle flickers.. as if in fear, and another sound wave comes out. Pan out to the Madrigal family. Mirabel covers her ears, Isabela rushes towards the door, and Luisa nervously mutters to herself. Pepa tries to use her mantra of “clear skies” to calm down.]

You’re weak and

You’re helpless

To stop me destroying you

(You aren’t even a miracle, all you do is ruin lives, my power was a curse all my life)

My power’s made anew

[As Isabela flings open the door, another sound wave comes out, so loud it practically makes the screen flicker breaking the fourth wall. As it goes out her dress flickers around her and changes to her colors— red, pale orange, and flickers with sparkling sound wave designs.]

What else can I do?!

[Isabela rushes over and the music slows down. The song ends just as the candle flickers and goes out, and the candle falls down. Abuela runs in and sees it, and Casita starts to crumble. Dolores laughs.]

~~~~

Do not ask what happens next. Figure it out for yourself because this was a midnight thing yk and a wacky dream. Do with this AU what you will and thanks for putting up with me (but seriously Abuela was toxic and I think it could have benefited the movie to show the very realistic resentment at least one of the kids would have for Abuela so fite me on this)
