crossover royalty

who is tougher to deal with, hiccup? astrid or merida? them being equal is an answer that you can pick.

“Both are equally tough to deal with but I think Merida got an edge over Astrid.” Hiccup admitted in a sheepish voice as he looked over at Astrid who was pouting and Merida who was preening in pride.

Been thinking about how Dreamworks Animation uses the ‘Fairytale’ leitmotif from Shrek as their theme for their logo, like how Disney uses ‘When you wish upon a Star’ for their logo.

What I get from ‘When you wish upon a Star’ is that any dream you have–no matter how extreme–they can come true. Nearly every Disney film as that sort of set up for their character.

‘Fairytale’ represents how, regardless of how different Shrek is going to be from most fairytales, this is still a story that deserves to be told. In fact, maybe this is a story where its characters also deserve to have their happy ending as well. This applies to the other films as well, given how most of the main characters in Dreamworks films start off has not exactly fitting tradition or standards, but they too have their own unique tale to tell.

And I think that fits into the idea of what Dreamworks is. ‘When you wish upon a Star’ has this optimism that appeals to the child in us. ‘Fairytale’ sounds a little more mature in comparison, and thus appeals to the adult in us, but it still draws us into another world.

Not every Dreamworks film uses the motif in their logo for the beginning of each movie, but it still draws you in and makes you feel like we are about to sit through a story. And every time a film does a variation of that theme tells us what kind of story we are going to expect or draw us into the world of the character(s) we will soon follow.

Road to El Dorado really doesn’t  get enough credit for the gold mine of meme and gif content it provided us.

I thought it would be fun to do a small drawing of Nightlight, Katherine, and baby Kailash. Sorry for the low quality my digital art never looks good so I have to just take pictures of my sketches.

Okay, I have to ask, because after looking through your posts on a mad rampage for Mr Peabody And Sherman Fanfics (I CAN'T FIND ANY GOOD STUFF OUT THERE!), I need to know, Have you found anyone that has taken your beautiful OUAT AU and made a fanfiction based on your outline? I need my Peabody and Sherman Angst Xovers!

Sadly no one took up that offer. I haven’t done it myself because not only is it a huge commitment (especially considering how long and complicated Once Upon a Time is, but it wouldn’t be a ‘beat by beat’ story), but I’m not as familiar with some of the DA films that most fans are.

But I can try to provide an outline for these two based on what I planned for them in the AU.....

Thanks to the WABAC, Peabody was familiar with Shrek’s era and his adoption and familial bond with Sherman caught the guardians attention. He was asked to provide a means to transport Shrek and Fiona’s son away to somewhere in our world-away from the cursed town. He couldn’t take Farley himself because... reasons (some scientific reasons).

Meanwhile Sherman easily won over everyone else just by being a sweet, curious boy who was excited about his new surroundings and wasn’t prejudiced like most people towards Shrek and Fiona due to his upbringing.

Pitch caught on to Peabody’s involvement–he had a desire to claim Sherman as part of his cursed town and decided to orchestrate a nasty trick.

He approached Peabody and told him that in our world he would be rendered as nothing more than a mere dog, incapable of taking care of his son and would lack the intelligence he was gifted with. But if he sent Shrek and Fiona’s son directly to him, then Sherman would still be able to have the father he would need. He could even be made a human in order for that bond to still exist.

Despite his doubts, Peabody ended up refusing the offer as he remembered the circumstances he found his son in and ultimately could not wish an even worse fate upon another’s child. While impressed, Pitch warned Peabody that he had paid the price for the refusal (as he had intended if Peabody took the offer up, thus dooming the dog no matter what choice he made)– as part of the curse, Peabody would become a human and keep the intellect he so valued, but he would be forever separated from Sherman, who wouldn’t even remember his father nor recognize him.

When the curse finally claimed Peabody and Sherman, the former promised the terrified latter that he would do whatever it took to find him. No matter what the curse would do to them, he would come for his son the moment the curse would be lifted. The boy had full faith that his father would keep that promise....

......

Dr. Herbert Ward was one of the top scientists in Crescent City, known for his brilliance and odd sense of humor. However there was a huge hole in his heart that he couldn’t explain.

Max Foray was one of the few kids in Crescent City’s foster system. He was a sweet natured boy with an eagerness to learn everything, but many were apathetic towards him, from the social worker who ran the foster system to most teachers at the elementary school he attended.

When Farley (the destined savior) came to town, a chain reaction started and ensued that the two would cross paths when Dr. Ward came to help teach a lesson to the elementary school kids and was won over by a boy who listened to every word he said and had so many questions rattling in his mind. He wouldn’t forget the boy and after a few random encounters, the hole in Ward’s heart filled with an unexplained longing–like he had to adopt this boy when no one else would, or even give him the further education the boy was capable of obtaining.

However not only did Ward have a difficult job that involved things he was not legally allowed to speak of (for he had seen impossibilities that his superior wanted to keep quiet), but Mr. Nacht was aware of the growing friendship the scientist had with the boy and told the social worker that Ward was not fit to be Max’s legal guardian. There was nothing Ward could do to overturn the decision and with the mayor himself in the way, he was unable to adopt Max (who didn’t even know about any of this, but wanted so badly to be adopted by anyone–even the strange, yet funny and intelligent scientist). 

While the mayor’s daughter Isabella was dismayed that she could not truly get the counterparts of Peabody and Sherman back together, all she could do was ensure that Ward and Max could be able to meet up once in awhile. Farley had his own issues over the matter as he had been passed around in the system in his youth and while he too wanted Max to get what he never had–an actual, loving parent–he couldn’t do anything while the mayor dangled other issues in his face that he had to be careful of.

....

When the curse was finally lifted, everyone’s memories came running back–and both father and son remembered their true selves as well as who it truly was that they had been drawn to in this town. Ward–who regained his memories as Mr. Peabody–raced to the school, where Max–who also regained his memories as Sherman–was waiting for him.

And just as Sherman knew, his dad came from him. He didn’t care that the curse altered his father’s appearance (though he missed Peabody’s dog form) when he came running towards him. Father and son tightly embraced and with the curse broken over the town, they would never again be parted from each other.

A awhile ago I was asked if I’d ever do a Friday Night Funkin’ AU for CU. I have my own reasons for not getting into it... but I admit there was one thing I DID want to draw out (especially if I were able to create a mod).
