Princess: Aw, hey, don't say that. You know things.

Jafar: No, I meant-

Princess: If you want, I can teach you some stuff.

there’s a version of twisted in my head where after cruella comes on stage and they all freak out because who would want to kill puppies, Frollo comes out and goes “I only wished to have sex with the woman who’s people I’ve murdered” and the entire cast comes out and gives him this look of absolute disgust and tells him to go fuck himself and to seek professional help

StarKid’s Theatrical Dimension

So I have already seen a few posts(I don’t remember whose) about how tgwdlm bring all the starkid shows together and I want to add my thought about how it all comes together with some of my own additions and changes.

It all starts in Firebringer where Chorn (a shape-shifter alien from the future) is helping guide humanity to a better future. She gives them fire and (as someone else mentioned) it is probably no coincidence that kiri ‘invented’ dancing in the time period Chorn was with their tribe. I too think chron is from the same planet as the meteor in tgwdlm. she came to earth with a mission. To make sure Earth is covered with a specie that is physically capable of singing and dancing. Ready to be infected with her kind.

The thing is that to live and prosper on a new planet for a long period of time they need to live through other species that are already adapted to that planet’s conditions (radioactivity, air composition, gravity, more). In order to be able to fully bond, the species’ brain has to know the concept of singing, dancing, and musical. That’s because the way her kind is controlling their new bodies is by working through their already built synapses in their brain. With someone that has no experience with musicals what so ever it would be difficult to bond and control because the neural pathways that make him swing and dance simply do not exist and will have to be built from scratch.

By giving Humans fire, singing and dancing (didn’t exist back when Mulag Ruled), Chorn set them on a path to an advanced future society that embraces musicals (the future she showed them is everything until the infection). “We got a lot to do to make it work” refers to building a society that embraces musicals.

The PEIP agent that speaks with Paul in tgwdlm hints that there might have been other events similar to this in the past. Possibly a different alien invasion. it is not unlikely that after upper-handing a lower threat level invasion, PEIP invested extra resources into space Exploration and technology to defend against future greater threats. Post tgwdlm, after they couldn’t contain the infection in Hatchetfield they turned on their Robots to fight and kill all the infected people before it spreads farther.

Unfortunately after unleashing the robots they could not distinguish between the infected!people and the non infected one’s. This was quickly the end of the infection, but the start of the Robots-Humans war mentioned in Starship.

Some extra Ideas:

-When Chorn says that there is no god, she means anymore. As she comes from the future and by the time Starship happens God is already dead. (but before god died he was a vicious two faced prick)

-Twisted happened next after Firebringer in the timeline. With the appearance of a blue inhuman powerful shape-shifting being that was named by the humans a Djinn. His crashed and broken time-space-travel device (aka the lamp) got him stuck in an age too early for his pop culture references. This was the second contact with the Humans, with a failed attempt to spark ideas and inspiration for Musical antics (with jokes and offstage songs). luckily it was not needed as Chorn laid most of the Ground work already. 

-To make sure there will always be a want for musicals, Chorn Granted a small portion of humanity with sorcery and magical abilities (similar to the way the Djinn did for Jafar) in addition to a diluted version of the infection, enough to make the ‘Wizards’ live in a musical, but not to lose their personality. This way having special abilities and musicals will go hand in hand and will be something people aspire for. Everyone would want to be a wizard, therefore Musical will be cherished and loved. This Is where all the AVP’s musicals come in in the timeline.

-The infection only being able to work on the pre-existing synapses and neural pathways explains how the infected people still show knowledge and passions the original people had. The only reason the infected people were obsessed with Paul was because he disappeared in the middle of his boss’ (forgot name) song before he could get infected. and on the last note when he sang PAUUUUULLLLL!!!! That’s when the hive mind decided they need to get him. Little did they know how difficult it would be to infect him since he only ever watched one crappy musical an hated it, he actively avoided music in general his whole life and so they were only able to get him by the end of the show after he already saw a few other musical numbers by other infected people.

-Ani happens far into the future after Starship (better human-alien-robot relationships). Wizards => Force Users

[cc-tinslebee]

Okay, so, about a month ago, my brain just conjured up probably the most random au possible: Legally Blonde Adam Banks/banksway au.

Believe me, it's as chaotic as it sounds, but lowkey, I'm kind of in love with it.

Adam never joins the Ducks because there aren't any Ducks to join. Bombay never had to do community service with District Five so there was no one to realise that Adam was on the wrong team all along. He continues to play for the Hawks and, eventually, the Eden Hall Warriors, never getting the chance to become the well-rounded individual we know him as because he's never known anything other than his rich privilege and the "win at all costs" mentality. He ends up going to college on a hockey scholarship and not straight to the NHL or the AHL (shocking, I know). While he's unsure of his major and where his life is heading, he finds solace in the fraternity he joins, which, by some sheer twist of fate, Jesse and Guy have also miraculously joined.

And his life is perfect for a while. He's the star player on yet another school's hockey team, all of his fraternity brothers adore him (though, it took a bit for Jesse to warm up to him), and his secret, not-really-official thing with his former teammate is going swimmingly. (Not to slander my boy, but I was picturing Larson for the role of Warner, purely because the alternative seems to be Rick Riley and that's kind of an unsettling image-- though, maybe that's the point?)

But then his secret boyfriend breaks up with him because, with his high aspirations in life, he needs to be "more serious." And dating Adam Banks, a guy in a stereotypical fraternity who only really knows hockey, in 2001 isn't exactly the white-picket-fence life he's looking for if he's going to be a politician.

And since this non-Duck Adam clearly doesn't have the braincells that canon Adam does, in his devastation, he decides it's a brilliant idea to prove that he is serious by applying to Harvard Law. His parents try to talk him out of it, since they want him to pursue his dreams of hockey, but being a lawyer is a respectable career so they can't exactly argue with him.

He gets accepted thanks to Jesse, Guy, and the rest of his fraternity helping him study for the LSAT and keeping him on track. He's trying his darndest when he gets to Harvard, but (despite his struggle not being as significant as Elle Woods'), not a lot of people take him seriously as an aspiring lawyer, considering him a meathead jock who only got in because of daddy's money.

And that's about the time he meets Linda, who he vaguely remembers from his time at Eden Hall. What he doesn't remember is her being so competitive, because she's deliberately beating him at every turn, just trying (and kind of succeeding) at making him look like a fool. To make matters worse, all of the sudden, she's engaged to his ex-boyfriend, who is very adamant about never telling anyone that he and Adam were more than friends (because, you know, early 2000s homophobia and such).

But things get a little brighter for Adam when he meets Charlie, an undergrad teacher's assistant who gives him all sorts of advice about surviving the school. He introduces him to Professor Bombay, who Charlie claims is the only reason he survived his first year and quickly becomes Adam's favourite teacher, and Charlie's childhood friend Connie, who aspires to be a state senator one day. Charlie's charismatic and even if he's not the most well-liked person at Harvard, Adam feels a weight lifted off his shoulders once he becomes friends with him and Connie. Things become a little easier.

Just before he and Charlie start getting really close, Adam meets Casey at a local diner on a day he's feeling particularly upset and alone, and the two start bonding almost immediately. (He bullshits his way into scaring an ex-husband of hers with legal repercussions he has no idea about and she basically adopts him in return.) It takes him an embarrassing amount of time to realise that it's not just a coincidence that Casey and Charlie share the same last name, which results in poor Adam feeling extremely embarrassed for not connecting the dots sooner while Charlie's having the time of his life teasing him for it. Eventually, when the dust of that settles, Charlie and Adam join forces to set Casey and Bombay up, their schemes borderline ridiculous at times, but they'rere not exactly failing.

And after realising he isn't the Warriors moron she thought he was for going on five years, Linda starts warming up to Adam, which is surprisingly nice? She figures out on her own that there used to be something between him and her fiancé, and is more understanding of Adam than she is mad. Linda actually spills to him the lengths Adam's ex had to go through to actually get into Harvard, aligning more with the rumours about Adam's acceptance being bought than having the aptitude for the law that Linda and Adam share. (This may be me saying Linda and Adam friendship rights, what of it-- /lh)

To make things all the better, Bombay chooses Adam, Linda, Connie, Charlie, and Adam's ex to be on his legal team for a murder case he's responsible for (and while he knows about Adam and Charlie's ploys to hook him up with Charlie's mom, they're his favourites, so he doesn't say anything).

And this is just so much better than anything he had before. After all the initial unpleasantness, Linda and Connie become some of the most genuine friends he's ever had. He misses Guy and Jesse, of course, and he'd never take them for granted, but back when he was with them at the fraternity, a part of him was still being as superficial as he had been in middle and high school. Being authentic for once in his life is liberating.

And Charlie's just about the most considerate person Adam's ever met. Adam doesn't even mind when Charlie teases him over his absurd and juvenile insults because he's just this source of light for Adam, supporting him and always pushing him to be the best version of himself. His ex hardly even exists when Charlie's around because his energy is just so contagious that Adam starts falling for him long before he even realises it. (And when Jesse and Guy come to visit, there's a moment where it all clicks and the four of them realise their history together, however brief. I strongly maintain that they'd be that Starkid meme: "Fucking Hawks? We hated you guys!" "We hated ourselves!" But it does make Adam realise how much better off he would've been if he had Charlie and his team when he was little instead of the Hawks, and it just further makes him understand that people like Larson and Rick Riley just aren't worth it.)

But there's also another revelation Adam goes through. Between helping Casey, his rigorous studies, and his position working with/for Bombay, something just clicks for Adam. He likes being able to help people, fighting for the good guys who may not have the resources they need to be properly defended. Practicing law calls to him in the same way hockey did; it's the feeling of knowing this is what he's meant to do. He still loves hockey, he always will, but it helps him finally grasp that there's a world for him outside of it; when hockey ends for him, there's something equally as rewarding that he can pursue, which was something he never thought he would have.

I haven't a single coherent thought about this au past that point except for these little inklings of an ending--

There's absolutely no SA scene like the movie had; Bombay's just Adam and Charlie's favourite teacher and those are his boys, so he's going to make sure they succeed as if his life depends on it.

With that said, Bombay believes in them both enough to let them finish the case because with their joined determination/stubbornness (and Adam's in with the defendant), Adam and Charlie are a force to be reckoned with and he knows it.

After a handful of comedic failures, they do end up succeeding at their attempts to set Casey and Bombay up, and they start living together sometime during the kids' Junior year :) (All I'm asking is for one (1) story with a Casey/Gordon endgame-- I just think they're neat--)

Linda dumps her fiancé (as she should) and goes on to live her best wlw life as a successful lawyer. (If I'm not mistaken, Linda's actress actually is a lawyer, which is a pretty cool fun fact!!)

Adam and Linda's ex gets the Warner ending because, man, screw that guy /lh (rip to Larson if this is him, I'm sure you'll get a nice endgame in some other universe, king)

Honorary mention for Connie, who was going long distance with Guy this entire time to everyone but Jesse's shock, and they get their Game Changers endgame of State Senator Connie Moreau and stay-at-home dad Guy Germaine with their seven -- sorry, three -- children :)

Adam's an absolute bundle of nerves after graduation, which definitely concerns Charlie. So, when he asks if he's okay, Adam starts nervously monologuing about their time together until he runs out of breath. He ends it by proposing to him, and Charlie smiles so surely at him when he says yes. They both become damn good public defenders and stay engaged until the point they can legally get married, but they're practically husbands long before that happens.

Also, if I did my math right (which I should’ve, it’s my entire basis for my Share Your Address series), the Ducks’ would have the same graduating class year as Elle Woods anyway (2004), which is pretty neat!

Thank you once again for listening to me ramble :)
