"Don't forget: Your imagination is a powerful magic in and of itself."
When your neighbour is there during your existential crisis.
I guess they didn't update the dialogue since last year's Parks Fest event! Oops.
girl who acts all dark and mysterious but is very opinionated on my little pony friendship is magic
Hercules Headcanons (Dreamlight Valley AU)
A/N: FINALLY!!! ANOTHER ADDITION TO MY DREAMLIGHT HAREM!!! Have some headcanons/imagines about what Valley life would be like for Herc! Credits for le dividers~
Herc probably bonds with you a lot right off the bat. Not only is he an affable sweetiepie but you two can relate a lot on the struggles of having powers and people counting on you.
The ruler of the valley and the heir to Zeus’ throne have a lot to talk about unsurprisingly.
Flynn sees him while they’re both walking their noble steeds, Maximus and Pegasus.
Upon seeing him for the first time, Flynn probably thinks to himself, “Maybe big noses aren’t so bad.”
Their horses like to “play” (aka ragebait each other into oblivion until they finally bond over how chaotic they are) while the boys just watch and shake their heads.
They exchange beauty tips from time to time, though Flynn is extremely jealous of Herc’s natural beauty since gods don’t really need hairspray or anything like that.
Maui takes a shine to the God of Strength, now that he has someone who he is an equal to when it comes to muscle-power he likes to roughhouse with him and have playful debates about the different lore of their other counterparts!
They often egg each other on in friendly competitions, though it’s best they’re held on a floating island to keep your valley from ending up in shambles. Learned that the hard way on Dazzle Beach once. Sure, they found out who could make the biggest sand castle, but you also had to clean all of that up… And your inventory is only so big.
Gaston is on the complete opposite side of that spectrum though
The amount of one-sided beef Gaston has with this man is INSANE
He is always trying to challenge Herc to displays of strength while Herc is just trying to be helpful ;-;
“Oh, did you need help lifting this?” He says innocently as he lifts an entire boulder Chris Redfield style and has the Frenchman about to start a full-blown crashout
Hades cannot catch a break either. It’s Hercules this, Hercules that, what ever happened to his little minion..?
(He secretly misses you and is jealous but he will not say so under any circumstances, he’ll just cold shoulder you and wait for you to grovel.)
At least Ralph has someone to bond with over accidentally breaking things all the time.
Rest assured you won’t have to raise your royal pickaxe when he’s around, the rocks just evaporate at a single flick!
Oh, pumpkin farming with no inventory space? Herc’s gotcha, he can hold a mile high stack in his arms or help you harvest them himself!
Of course you have to spoil him with some pumpkin pie afterwards.
Generally speaking though a lot of the structures in the valley are protected to some extent by Dreamlight magic. With all the supervillains and whatnot running amok it’d be silly not to at the very least enchant the important architecture. Keeps the bad guys from destroying buildings and keeps Herc from accidentally leveling a whole biome so he’s happy.
He thinks very highly of you, it’s quite sweet.
In return for saving him he tries to chisel a statue in your honor but it’s… Well… It’s the thought that counts.
Hades 100% uses this opportunity to show him up and make an even bigger, better statue of YOU! … Clinging to Hades’s leg… While he sits on a flame throne… Nice…
Mulan keeps trying to train with him and he humors it a bit, swapping regimens here and there. She’ll go through one of Phil’s obstacle courses and he’ll practice his lacking tactical skills and do his best to aim a bow and arrow.
He thinks he won’t learn much from it at first but a real hero never stops training, her insight helps his battle IQ even if the physical challenges aren’t present and vice versa.
Heck him and Merida even start to bond and they all train together at some point (though, they might have to start enchanting the bows at some point or else they’ll keep breaking).
He gets really puffed in the chest only when Hades in particular is around you, attempting to guard you like a loyal cerberus.
Other villains he’s weary of naturally, but Hades in particular he worries will trick you into some underhanded deal and he does NOT want to see that happen again.
He is quite surprised to see how well Hades manages to coexist in the valley though, and you don’t have the heart to tell him it was all thanks to a magical typewriter in another dimension… It’s a long story.
Other than that, Herc is very content in the valley!
He always has something to do, whether it be helping you with your royal duties or trying to find a constellation in the stars that encapsulates your royalness, he’s happier here than he ever was in his realm.
I've had another dream light valley thought.
Merlin.
Who the fuck rebranded Merlin.
Merlin in Disney franchises tends to be the wise, slightly scatterbrained mentor figure meant to guide the players (DDLV & Kingdom Hearts) along their journey. He's kind, almost all knowing, straightforward and full of sagely advice.
Did. Did nobody watch the film?
Ok, sure yeah he has moments like those, but-
- But in The Sword And The Stone (1963) Merlin is a hairs breadth off being a certified nutcase.
The film begins with him bitching about medieval inconveniences while he simultaneously loses a battle with a well. His house is like if a scholar featured on an episode of hoarders. He can't keep track of his own beard and needs to verbally berate his crockery to keep it in line.
He's running about in the woods doing parkour like a man a quarter of his age and every time his straight-man familiar tells him to tone it down or be a smidge more reasonable in his expectations, Merlin actively doubles down harder to prove a point.
The man is sidequest obsessed unmedicated AuADHD representation on steroids. He's brilliant, yes- but also belligerent, crafty, 100% down with cheating on any given task and smug as all hell.
But the part that really gets me??
Merlin spends a good 30-50% of his screen time either annoyed or actively angry.
He has HIS way and things HE wants to do while educating dragging a student along with him and personally I don't think he gives a single fuck about actually running anything. He doesn't even become an advisor until the last two minutes of the film!!
Dreamlight valley should include a 'Merlins Hyper fixation Catch-up Quest', wherein now that we're back he's catching up on all the weird research and wacky adventures he couldn't have during the forgetting. He should spawn in halfway up a tree or fucking about with the green fire in the forgotten lands or upside down in the mines doing god knows what.
He should also get to go ape shit because his crash outs about magic and villains deserve him blowing up or kicking over furniture like he does in the original source material.
But also know that if he whips round to glare at the player and snarls that he thought 'You were going to amount to something!' my first response would be immediate tears. So.
ALL HAIL
