Note: I did the Photoshop, my artist-friend did all of this who wishes to remain anonymous. Check Out the other Prototype if you want Judy Hopps in the Center It’s a Small World Trailer Script

‘In an anthropomorphic-world where humans are non-existent (to their knowledge), crazy events often occur in Zootopia.’ Clip 1: Baloo (Talespin) gets shot with a Night-Howler while being escorted by Nick Wilde to the Police Station.

‘But events are even crazier in Calisota.’ Clip 2: Quackerjack firing lasers from his modified Buzz Lightyear weapon.

‘Where people dare to get dangerous.’ Clip 3: Mortimer Mouse drives Mr. Toad’s Lightning McQueen being chased by the Weasels in Chick Hicks firing their guns.

‘What if nightmares can be re-visioned to overcome fear?’ Clip 10: “Let your conscience be your guide, listen to your employee.” said Jiminy Cricket to his friend Timothy Q. Mouse, before they both looked to Bongo the Bear, comparing pink elephants to Roger Rabbit’s imaginary friend Bing Bong.

‘What if there’s hidden magic in the town of Passamaquoddy beyond Portobello Road?’ Clip 11: Elliott the Dragon guards the lighthouse while looking down to the water where 2 whales swims close by (Monstro and Willie)

‘What if it’s a small world…..after all?’

Plays the song, remixed in style similar to the theme of Avengers and/or Star Trek (2008)

While playing various short-action-clips…….. • Judy, Nick, and Bonkers meeting the Br’er Trio (Br'er Rabbit, Br'er Fox, & Br'er Bear) • Flik entering the Monster-World through doorway • Darkwing Duck fighting Randall Boggs • Morgana Macawber goes to Macawber Manor to find statues of Gargoyles recently brought in. • FOWL’s against trying to capture Max Goof, Gosalyn Mallard, and Honker Muddlefoot. • The Rescue Rangers flying around dodging attacks from FOWL and Air Pirates • Gyro’s WALL-E dancing and singing a song from KK-Slider. • Luke offering moonshine.

“Mirror Mirror on the Wall, who is the scariest of them all?” Randall asked a magical mirror located in Macawber Manor.

Dims to the last clip showing a full moon with a small shadowy skinny-figure flying a sleigh like Santa Claus, while hearing a laugh that starts like “Ho-Ho-Ho……” before it changes to high-pitch cackling. A fore-shadow of an answer to Randall’s question.

This is Bald Mountain and it's secretly not so secretly my favourite postcard, but shhh, don't tell the other postcards. It's also part three of the collab I did with @/shophomegrowncrone on Instagram, whose etsy I'll be popping into my pinned post!

Anyways Me and @norvitodraws put all two of our braincells together for this one, so like, lore dump as follows:

Firstly! Bald Mountain is a real place with stone circles allegedly made by witches, which is cool! It also has some walls built between the 9th and 11th century, some Pagan sites, and a monastery!

Secondarily! The stone structure on this postcard is based off a shrine that's fully dedicated to Mary and Jesus and Stuff (when asked, the Brother assured me this repurposing of said structure was ""appropriately blasphemous"") and is an actual place you can visit!

Thirdly!! The statue within the structure is based off the statue of the Eternal Soldier. The folklore states the Eternal Soldier was once a Knight that was on his way to the monastery on top of Góry Świętokrzyskie (Holy Cross Mountain), who heard the bells tolling and alleged they were tolling for heee. Immediately after, god decided to punish him for the bad case of the hubies he'd caught and turned him into stone. The Eternal Soldier's still at it though, and apparently moves at a rate of one grain of sand per year toward the monastery.

"Oh man, Quicksilver and Brother, what will happen when he gets there?"

We hear y'all barkin' Big Dogs.

Well, according to the lore -checks notes- the world's going to end, so that's something to look forward to. :)

Also good fucking luck if you want to look this up, apparently Fortnite made an Eternal Knight Skin and Witcher III is based on the Polish novels, so you gotta do a lot of sifting some good keywords if you're interested are "Bald Mountain Poland", "knight statue" and "11th century" lmao (and actually, the best source I could find for the legend without wanting to chew on the drywall about it was this post by @lamus-dworski here on tumblr! Thanks Lamus-Dworski!!)

Twisted Wonderland Demon!Yuu AU

Once more join me on the Twisted Wonderland train that my brain seems to not want to get off of. 

Bald Mountain is a thing that exists in Disney lore.  Fantasia is amazing and Chernabog has appeared in other Disney media (see House of Mouse). So, let’s make Chernabog and Bald Mountain exist in Twisted Wonderland.  And even more, make it so that our player character (for this AU to be names Yuna and female) be sort of from Bald Mountain.  Below is mostly background information of Bald Mountain as a way to keep my ideas somewhere where I can see them.

Bald Mountain Home of demons, ruled by Chernabog, who is a lazy ass woh sleeps a lot and leaves the running of the hellscape to the 8 Pillars.  Each Pillar is a general of Bald Mountain and controls a specific aspect of life in the mountain.  The 7 Pillars represent the 7 deadly sins.  The 8th is staffed near completely by part-demons, sacrifices, and atavists.  There is a near constant war going on in the depth of Bald Mountain between the demons, condemned souls, and outer realm beings.  Bald Mountain is one of the first lines of defense for the worlds of Disney for keeping beings from beyond/Great Old Ones from invading.

Pillar 1: Sin of Pride General Ez’godath Military Role: Air force

Pillar 2: Sloth Admiral Kagloth Military Role: Navy

Pillar 3: Wrath General Trorkollek (Usually abbreviated to General Trork because they can’t stand the time wasted saying their full name) Military Role: Army

Pillar 4: Lust General Jol’gan Military role: Spies, Scouts, Sabotage, Assassins

Pillar 5: Greed General Ogath Military Role: Logistics/Admin/Strategists

Pillar 6: Envy General Tezrin Military role: Engineers and Demolition

Pillar 7: Gluttony General Vuranoth Military Role: Support (food, medical, transport, etc)

Pillar 8: Unnamed or called the Civvy Branch as a slang term General Yuna Military Role: Internal affairs, Security, External Relations (aka the Diplomat Corps), Police, Emergency Services, Non-Military healers, Research and Development, anything the other Generals dump on them *They end up working closely with the 5th, 6th, and 7th Pillars on a lot of things.*

Bald Mountain has 2 sections. The exterior and the interior. It is dangerous for a non-demon to enter the interior as the space is constantly changing and time isn’t constant. All sacrifices live on the exterior and most civilian businesses are owned by them. 

Sacrifices are people who were offered up for a demon deal by someone else. Sadly, most of them were offered up as children. They do get the option to become a part demon or full demon and gain a demonic parent. Cater is one of these, becoming a succubus after being sacrificed by his mother at age 8 in exchange for power. A clause in those types of agreements state that the sacrifice can at any time call in the penalty clause. Cater is waiting for the best chance to call in his mother’s. 

Yes, I am getting Cater away from his bitch of a mother and his spoiled brat sisters.  The boy deserves so much better than them.  He’s a succubus now, having taken the full demon choice.  He tends to just go by Cater or, if he needs a last name he uses Cater Berg. Berg means Mountain.

Ok, back to Bald Mountain geography.  So, Bald Mountain exists in multiple dimensions at once all linked through the interior of the mountain, which is why it can be dangerous for a non-demon to enter the mountain.  So because of this, it’s not that odd for demons to meet people from other dimensions or go to other dimensions to have kids.  This brings into play the ativists, or people who have a demonic ancestor way, way back in their bloodline and the demonic genes going active out of nowhere.  This is what happened to Yuna.

Yuna lived in an expy of our world with no magic.  It may have had magic in the past, but that’s considered myth.  Her ancestor happens to be Chernabog, making her one of the demon king's many, many descendants.  Her demonic genes go active around the age of 18 or so and she gets kidnapped to Bald Mountain where everything is explained to her.  Having no way home until she controls her new powers, she trains, joins the Bald Mountain military (as I imagine it’s a mandatory thing), gets assigned to the 8th Pillar and eventually goes up the ranks to become general…after about 150 years or so. 

That was 100 years ago.  Now she’s been forced on vacation by her second, Cater.  She goes back home.  No time has passed and she still looks like she’s 18.  Demon genes mean aging is really slow.  Then, while going on her morning run, she encounters a black carriage and is dragged to Twisted Wonderland.  And this is where our story starts…
