what does the fox say?

(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Flora Hood ♥ Hey, Auradon! It's me, Flora, 16, daughter of Robin Hood and Maid Marian. I love everything and everyone except for people that jokingly say I'm"foxy" but ice cream in particular is my passion, which is good, because someday everyone's favorite ice cream parlor The Sherbert Forest is going to be all mine! Help me make sure I've got all your favorite flavors by coming in often. Love you, munchkins! Treat yourselves! :D

I suppose that’s one way to look at it, though I don’t find the idea of being doomed to a life of labor and servitude particularly exciting. I’m not certain; she hasn’t always been my biggest fan, perhaps she sees me as too much of a threat – but I’d be happy to go through Mason, he’s always been much more fond of me and can get her to listen to reason, surely. Do they really? Blake’s not exactly going to be bearing him legitimate children to take the throne when he dies, after all. Perhaps you just need to have some kind of Ice Cream Celebration Day, a king can’t miss a celebration in his own kingdom. Not that he needs any more attention than he already gets, but the world isn’t always so fair. It’s all right, most people seem to find fairy features adorable; if only I could trade places with them and let them see for themselves. 

No wonder you’re so keen on marrying a prince then! Queens have to serve their kingdoms too, but at least it’s a much more glamorous type of servitude, isn’t it? You’re such a Slytherin - I never would’ve thought to go through Mason, but you’re right, he’s definitely the one to go through to get something tricky from Madi, though she’s very open about some things! She’s going to teach me how to perfect my splits! Maybe they could ask the Fairy Godmother to use magic to make them a baby - Blake would have to be the one to carry the baby, though, because Will has to do kingly things, and I’m sure he’d hate not being able to tree swing, so maybe they’ll do something simpler like change the laws, who knows? That’s what I would do, if I could change the laws. Ice Cream Celebration Day sounds so cute! You would get an honorary concoction for coming up with the idea, of course - any flavor or color requests? I wish I could trade places with you too, just to know! Because I feel it for myself I’m fairly certain I’ll go on finding it adorable, sorry!

leounderthesea :

Just say you had a free period and you wanted to see what it was all about or something. If you wanna do me a solid, you can even tell her it’s because I told you it’s my favorite class and you just had to see for yourself. The King’s boyfriend? Nah, I don’t think it was him, it was some weird blonde twin guy. You think meth’s funny? Huh, you’ve got more of a sense of humor than I was expecting. Makes sense; you can like doing something without having to make it your whole life, it would be cool if like, crazy tourney captain girl or the full of himself Charm-less prince remembered that, but I’m glad you got it figured out. Why’d you keep quitting, though?

Sounds like an easy way to give you points, I’m in! Fairy Godmother is going to love you - which is both a good and bad thing, because it means an easier time in school but it also means she might stop you in the hallways just to chat, fair warning! Oh, oh, Lysander La Bouff making a Breaking Bad joke too makes sense - it’s a hilarious show about meth, have you not gotten into it yet? People get really into their passions here sometimes! Our kingdom is all about doing what you love and, I don’t know, people take that very seriously from time to time; I take it seriously too, which is one of the reasons I kept quitting. I never felt like I cared enough about cheer to justify putting it over my hours in the shop but now that we’re a year closer to graduation, I don’t know, I’m going to be dealing with ice cream the rest of my life, it’s nice to do other stuff too.

[sherwoodflora]

emilyofneverland :

Maybe it takes forever, but it also takes precedent, if you ask me. People aren’t going to be looking at pictures of you doing your homework, after all; but if you need a whole day, that’s what weekends are for, I’m sure I can talk Madison out of any kind of ridiculous extra cheer practice that she might deem necessary even when it’s not. Well, then all the more reason to hurry up and start looking, it seems as though you’re about 11 months behind your timeline. Honestly, I haven’t the foggiest idea what King Will’s priorities are, since he went from trying to find a most excellent wife to dating his best friend and inviting villain children into our midst. Perhaps he’s a stress eater and is worried that being king has made him too tubby for ice cream? He does have someone staring at his nude body much more often these days, after all. Oh yes, being the size of a thimble is adorable, I’m sure everyone likes me better that way when all I can do is chime at them.

No, but good homework means a good degree which means options in the future! Especially for people like us who don’t have a crown, the more options the better, right? That doesn’t mean I want to forget the importance of a night where it’s our right to be princessish, though, of course not! Oh wow, do you really think you could talk Madi out of a cheer practice? I mean, I believe in you and best of luck and I would love a whole weekend devoted to prom-ing, but it’s Madison we’re talking about here. I’m never been privy to King Will’s priorities either, so I couldn’t tell you, but dating Blake and the wife search seem like they make sense to me in the same thought, at least. If it’s stress eating though, I can hook him up with sugar-free options or whatever he needs! And Blake would think he was beautiful no matter so WILL, IF YOU’RE WORRIED YOU’RE FAT, YOU AREN’T AND SHOULD COME EAT MY ICE CREAM AGAIN. Do you think that was too desperate?? Oh wow, Em, that’s not what I meant at all! Anyone who thinks that probably isn’t worth talking to anyway.

[sherwoodflora]

leounderthesea :

Believe me, I’d rather do just about anything than fail Remedial Goodness. Taking this class again sounds like hell. You should try sitting in sometime, see how much you like it. Really? Huh, I thought everyone else thought that class was hard. You sure it’s just for cooking, though? The dude sitting next to me in it one day was talking about how he wished he could use it to make meth like some dude on TV. Is that so? Well damn, maybe if we’d had instruments back on the Isle I would have known about that rule sooner. How can you be kind of a cheerleader? Aren’t you either a cheerleader or you’re not?

Oh, do you really think I could sit in? I’m sure if Fairy Godmother says anything about it we can just say we’re hoping my goodness wears off on you guys during the lesson or something ridiculous like that - she likes me, it’ll be fine, and I have to admit I’m kind of curious. Classes vary on difficulty based per person, I’m sure - like, Literature is way harder for me, who doesn’t read much, than it would be for other people. It just so happens that I use Chemisty in tandem with cooking so it’s, like, a cheat for me - but oh wow, who wants to go all Breaking Bad in the science lab? Was it Blake?! That sounds almost like Blake, he’s hilarious like that. I’m kind of cheerleader because I’ve been one on and off for the last two years? Though I feel like if I’m ever off again Madison will kick my head off during a backflip so I guess I’m totally a cheerleader, yes. It’s just not, like, even one of the first five things I think about myself, you know?

[sherwoodflora]

emilyofneverland :

I have; I started shopping quite early, before other people could take the cream of the dress crop. Have you at least looked at designs yet? You’re really cutting it a bit close. Well, think of prom dresses as a flavor of life — it should be just as important to you as ice cream is, if not more so. After all, you only get two proms, or three if you’re a bit sad and deem an underclassmen worthy of dating. You can have ice cream any old day of the week. Yes, well, enchanted ice cream would be nicer if you could actually enchant it, wouldn’t it? Perhaps if King Will changes the rules being a fairy might gain back some of its former appeal but for the time being the only magic I can do is make myself small in order to fit inside of Pixie Hollow, and where, pray tell, is the glamor in that? You absolutely can, no one else has laid claim to it yet! See, you’re getting much better at this already.

I just rejoined the cheerleaders and have the shop! I haven’t set aside enough time to really shop, not without remembering that I have like three homework assignments; shopping takes forever, I need to set apart, like, whole days for that! So prom dresses are a speciality flavor - way to pack on the pressure! It takes us the whole year to determine what our seasonal flavors and how we should make them should be! Do you think, like, a petition for the right to small acts of magic would change his mind? Prince Will used to come by for ince cream a lot more often, but he doesn’t so much anymore, so it’s not like I can bend his ear as easily as I used to. Small enough to fit into Pixie Hollow sounds maybe not so glamorous, but definitely cute! And it’s an easy way to make ice cream last waaaaaay longer.

[sherwoodflora]

leounderthesea :

They seem like the best part of school. Like detention with no teacher and you’re not in trouble. It’s pretty easy, actually. They think villains don’t have common sense but we’ve been watching the Beast’s PSAs since we were little kids, we get it, we have to keep our toes in line and be nice and not steal other kids toys and stuff. I don’t know, do you? This music stuff came kinda easy to me, so maybe my hands are big. You could check that out for me, too, for sure. Pretty girl’s at the top of the list, but that’s some pretty thin criteria. You also have to be able to learn all the words to the songs and be able to hop in time when you’re like head banging in the audience, we don’t want any off-beat bimbos.

Maybe next year you’ll get the free periods, too! Unless you fail Remedial Goodness which, you know, I recommend you don’t, because it sounds super super boring! I feel like some Auradon-born-and-raised kids would fail that class just from falling asleep in it too much. But if you think it’s easy, that’s a good sign. The only class I think is actually easy is Chemistry, and that’s because it’s a lot like cooking. I’ve always heard bassists had bigger hands and, um, other parts than usual - I guess we’re going to have to check to find out, huh? Oh, I can totally do that! I’m kind of a cheerleader, so memorizing and bouncing in time are on my list of special skills.

leounderthesea :

Nah, it’s not like the after school band, they’re making us do it instead of having free periods or study halls – like Remedial Goodness wasn’t enough, now we have to ‘catch up to the other kids’ in fine arts and stuff that you aren’t required to take. I’ve been working on guitar or bass, I can’t decide which I like more yet. Maybe you could come audition for groupie and give me your input on which one I’m better at. You seem to fit the requirements so far, but I gotta get a close up look to be sure.

You poor thing, free periods are the best of school if you ask me! No class, no fake sleeping, just a whole lot of focusing on whatever you care about most. I hope Remedial Goodness is at least easy because it sounds super boring from what Madison and Mason have talked to us about it - at least these easy classes mean you’re getting good grades? Oooh, bass? Don’t you have to have really big hands for that? Maybe when I’m auditioning to be groupie I can check out your hands and tell you if you should stick to guitar or be all about that bass. Let me guess - are the requirements just ‘pretty girl’ so far? Give me a challenge, I can do ‘pretty girl’ in my sleep.

emilyofneverland :

You’re quite right, I’m sure more than a few girls will opt for custom made dresses – a luxury I would love to have, although I must admit, the dress that I’ve purchased feels as though it may as well have been custom made for me, with how perfectly it fits. I’d like to remind you, though, that Corona’s purple is a much deeper hue than the one I’ve selected, and that my hair color bears a striking resemblance to Princess Becca’s, so why wouldn’t I want to explore a similar color scheme to the one that she’s proven she looks so lovely in? Perhaps she can have fairy green instead, since obviously that’s lovely as well – I’d just prefer to forget that I’m from Neverland for an evening, why have a reminder that I’m a mere fairy when I could feel like a princess instead? As for sherbert colors, though, I’d certainly veer away from orange, but perhaps you could pull off a strawberry pink or a lime green, even.

So you’ve already got the dress? Oh, that’s wonderful! I’d ask to see it but I think some of the magic will be in the surprise upon seeing you that night, like a groom waiting to see his bride, except less romantic. Your hair is a little darker than Becca’s, but if your dress is lighter, that should make up the difference.... I think. I don’t know, I know how flavors work, not colors, oops! I’m sure you’ll look beautiful, though, you’re always one of the prettier girls in school even if people tend to look at the princesses first. That doesn’t mean you have to forget you’re a fairy though! I would love to be a fairy, maybe even more than a princess - imagine what literally enchanted ice cream would taste like! Oooh, thank you, though, because a strawberry pink sounds super pretty! It makes me think of my mom’s robes, but girlier. Can I claim strawberry pink on this dress-claimer site of yours?

[emilyofneverland]

It’s never too early to begin thinking about prom, a fact I’m pleased to see that some of you are already aware of. However, since this is the first year that I’ll be old enough to attend, I would like to avoid some of the horrible prom-tastrophes I’ve grown up seeing in movies or reading about in magazines. Therefore, I think this year we should set up a prom dress registry of sorts. When someone picks out their gown, simply go online and claim it as yours to avoid awkward situations where someone shows up copying you – it’s really not cute, after all, to be a poor imitation of someone else. And I’d like to start the registry by saying that I will not be wearing my signature fairy green to this occasion, but instead plan to wear a pale grey that borders on pastel purple. Other girls of Auradon, you have been warned!

[sherwoodflora]

This would probably be especially useful for us non-royal girls; I’m sure some princesses are going to be getting their dresses custom made, right? Which is great for them and for us - it means one less person less likely to wear our dress! This is a pretty smart idea, Emily, yay for you. I am a little confused as to why you’re ditching your fairy green, though, especially for Corona colors instead of, well, other castle colors, but I’m sure you’ll look beautiful. I haven’t decided even what color  I’m going to wear yet, honestly. Any suggestions? I like sherbaty colors, but I’m scared they make me look like an Easter egg with this hair.

[leounderthesea]

So after three months, I finally discovered something about Auradon that’s pretty chill aside from the pretty girls and the awesome food… and it’s the whole music thing. I got forced into band because they didn’t want villain kids having ‘too much free time’, and I kinda don’t hate it. The music we play in there’s lame, though, so if anyone wants to start a real band, or be my groupie, lemme know.

[sherwoodflora]

They actually forced you all into extracurriculars? That’s so unfair - one of the absolute nicest things about Auradon is the free time, when you manage to get it. I don’t have much free time, personally, but when I get it? It’s miraculous. At least something fun came out it for you, though! What do you play? And what’s your requirements for a groupie? Asking for a cute friend.

beccaofcorona :

It is nice, although maybe not everyone’s as happy as we think. I mean, I know of at least a couple of households where things aren’t all as lovely as they seem, but I think in the end, we’ll all be okay. Oh, sometimes, to be honest, but I just swap to something else for a bit and then come back to it. I rarely am only reading one thing at a time, especially if one of the things I’m reading is quite long. We’ve done pretty much everything but, if that answers your question? I think we were on track to have the discussion about being ready for it but then the Leo thing made stuff a little uncomfortable for a while. I think we’re better, but I don’t know, I worry that he’d holding back what he’s really feeling from me. Merlin, I’m sorry – I need to stop expressing my concerns to people, apparently that’s what got me into trouble in the first place. Blake’s very charming, but I never would have guessed that anyone liked him for real! He was kind f an incorrigible flirt, don’t you think? What about Zac? He was your New Year’s kiss, wasn’t he? I think I’m kind of the jealous type, too, so I shouldn’t hold that against him. It’s actually kind of… I don’t know, nice that he was jealous? I mean, that he cares enough to worry about losing me, even though he never will?

Private: That does answer my question, thank you, though I am still a little surprised! If I were dating Oliver we would’ve had sex like a billion times already - not that there’s anything wrong with going your own speed, of course, and then Leo certainly seemed like a speedbump, but I hope you two work it out soon enough! Sex is supposed to be amazing, especially when you’re in love, and if you can have it now, why wait? You got in trouble for talking about your feelings? Really? I thought it was more because you were flirting with Leo, but that’s just what I’ve heard - talking to your boyfriend about it though is probably a way to balance that out and encourage him to talk about his stuff, too! Baggage is like ice cream - it’s easier to share a bit of yours when they share a bit of theirs! Blake is highly charming, and adorable, and hilarious and just... I don’t know, he’s a good guy, and him being a flirt doesn’t change that at all; I also have tons of fun flirting with people and I hope that wouldn’t write me off as an option! Zac was, but that was more of a convenience thing. He’s super hot, of course, but there’s no...beyond-friendship-spark, I guess. Do you know what I mean? Oh, there’s nothing wrong with being the jealous type! I’ve always thought jealousy was super flattering, actually, so I’m with you on that one. It’s nice to know you’re worth fighting over.

blakeofthejungle :

Technically he was love sick, but I doubt the school administration would count that as a thing. I’d totally eat Jungle Fever every time I came into the store and just mix it with another flavor for the second scoop. I could be your Jungle Fever model! It might make people fall in love with me, if my picture’s associated with your ice cream, but I’m good at letting people down easy, I hope.

Yeah, I don’t think that’s a recognized medical condition, sorry! But he’s the king so it’s not like he can’t get away with it, everyone’s entitled to a little hooky. I really doubt you need more people falling in love with you even if a little practice at letting people down easy wouldn’t kill you, so maybe an ix-nay on the ictures-pay, but thanks for offering!

[fairygodmadison]

Hey, hey, whaddya say?

[sherwoodflora]

fairygodmadison :

I think all the fun stuff happens when you turn 21 and you can drink without worrying about getting trouble, and you’re like, right about to start the rest of your life but you don’t have to start it yet. Not that I’m worried about graduating and being responsible, because I’m already super responsible, but it might be a hard transition for people around us, they’re totes not as prepared as me. Well, enjoy the view all you want but be extra sure to tell Mason you appreciate him because I wouldn’t want him to think these diets were all for nothing.

The “about to start” part sounds fun, and the drinking totally does too, but I think sometimes I’d rather just skip ahead to the part where it’s already settled. I know what I’m going to do with my life, after all, with the shoppe! Sometimes I just can’t wait to get there is all. Oh, of course you don’t have to worry about it either - you’re as good as set as I am, I’m sure of it! I’ll definitely make it a point to Mason to tell him I appreciate it. You don’t think Cassie would take that the wrong way, do you?

[sherwoodflora]

mermanzacattack :

I think what he lacks in length he makes up for in personality? Since most of the princesses seem to think he’s the nicest dude around, I’m pretty sure he was everyone’s back up choice if they couldn’t marry the king instead. Really? What would you put in as a request? I guess I’d feel weird asking for anything since I hate that there’s stuff about Zoe and everybody’s someone’s son or daughter or friend or sister or brother. You wanna go all Nancy Drew and Joe Hardy on this? I’m not serious enough to be Frank, Joe was the fun one who loved hamburgers. You liked Blake that much? Woah, I never realized it was anything serious, but then I guess you literally just said you didn’t realize it was either, so never mind. That would be a good one! Are you going to make it like leaf flavored or something in Blake’s honor? I appreciate that, but I don’t really have a whole lot of emotions right now. Most of them are spent worrying about when Zoe’s gonna pick up her camera again, I don’t have a ton of time for me, and I don’t need that much attention anyway, I’m doing fine.

I’m amazed he’s still single, actually! There really aren’t that many eligible hotties taken, for which I say a prayer of thanks - you’re pretty high on people’s lists too, you know. You better start refining the list of traits you want in a wife because you have a ton of options! I don’t know, I’d want more stuff about me on there, with whichever boys they choose - it feels very lacking in Flora. I would be a horrible Nancy Drew, sorry! Between cheer and the shoppe, I still need time to homework instead of taking down a smutty empire, but if you do it, Joe, I’m rooting for you! I guess? Is that what it means when the person finds someone else and it feels like all your blood is as cold as the freezer? I’m not going to make a commemorative flavor for him, I’m going to try to just...move past it, I guess. I mean, he’s with Will and that’s probably forever and if I didn’t like him enough to notice while I had a chance that’s a sign, right? Everyone needs attention, Zac! Just because Zoe needs your eye right now doesn’t mean you don’t need someone else’s, and when you feel like you do, I’m right here. That’s all.

[sherwoodflora]

mermanzacattack :

I mean, Jeremy, that’s a no-brainer. Harry, surprisingly small but a good dude, so maybe worth it anyway. Yikes, I wish I knew who was writing that crap so I could get them to take it down. I’m gonna go report it anyway and hope maybe the moderators will remove it but that never works, I’ve been trying to do that for weird stuff about Zoe for ages. You’re not a waste of time for anybody, you know that, right? Even  if it had been one date, one kiss, whatever, you’re an awesome memory for anybody to carry around with them. I guess Gavin and I chilled and stuff, but it was more like, watching TV and playing sports. We don’t have the whole emotional thing like Gwen and Zoe, or Will and Blake, or whoever.

Harry, really? That’s such a shame, he’s so so cute! I wish we knew who was writing that stuff too, mainly to request some new material in person, but maybe we should get someone to find out. We’ve got plenty of smart people in Auradon, I’m sure someone can go all super-sleuth and get answers! Aawww, you tried that? You’re so cute! Thanks, Zac. I know you’re right and I’m usually a lot better about not feeling sorry for myself...I don’t know, I didn’t really know how much I liked Blake until I realized I couldn’t have him. Weird how that happens, right? The forbidden fruit is always so much sweeter...I really should come up with a flavor called Forbidden Fruit, huh? Hmm. You know, you can always do the emotional thing with me, right? I’ll always listen.

[fairygodmadison]

Hey, hey, whaddya say?

[sherwoodflora]

fairygodmadison :

Right? It’s totes brilliant, I can’t wait to see your team in action. You learn to like think about how stuff helps kids when your mom’s the FG, I guess! I mean, I make sure Mason keeps an eye on his because boys think they can eat anything, but I’m not going to show up at anybody else’s house with a clipboard demanding they weigh in or anything. Just don’t fall during the actual games!

Ugh, great, another thing that won’t be able to happen until I’m a grown up - I wish I were thirty already, it feels like all the fun stuff doesn’t happen until you’re old and settled. Boys can eat anything though, can’t they? I mean...the boys in our kingdom are preeeetty fit. I’m not saying their metabolisms won’t catch up to them one day but for now I’m not complaining at the view.
