Yeah, mozenrath/sadira is cute too! I've been reading everybody's RPing at the Fantasmatic website and that's how I got into that couple!
The Parent Trap version of Aladdin and Eric sounds like a lot of fun! Maybe I should write it....

At the top of every page here at TSG is a little button of Mickey Mouse. It says "Affiliated With" above it. Just click on that picture of Mickey and it'll take you to Fantasmic. It's a big Disney RPing site.

Yeeeeeah, a cool topic  *pulls a face*  I think "dumb" is a very strong word and wrongly used. "Naive" fits them both best, and it's very different from dumb. In fact, I think they're both relatively smart characters. Maybe not intelligent like Jane or Milo, but smart nevertheless  Never dumb. I never gave Hercules/Ariel much thought, but it could maybe work short-term. They're both naturally curious and enthusiastic, and that would bring them together. But when the attraction wore out, what would be left? Hercules could never keep Ariel down, and I think Ariel would end up being a bit too immature for him (and I mean this in a totally cool way ). As for what rocks my boat... Hercules/Jane - Yeah, Jodi should know this off by heart. What I most love about them is the fact that they have a lot in common (curiosity, enthusiasm, naivety, sense of humor, clumsiness, etc), but they're also different in a way that they actually complement each other. Hercules is a bit immature and I've always imagined him as a teenager stuck in a man's body because he was forced to grow too fast. Jane, however, is far more mature for her age, and she has a lot of patience to help a person grow and develop him/herself without trying to change the person. Also, the fact that they're both shy but outspoken means they'd understand each other quite nicely. Yeah, Hercules/Jane all the way! I've been writing a fanfic for two years which I'm yet to publish, but hopefully once it's done I'll get a fandom growing *crosses fingers* Jane/Eric - This is a ship I haven't quite had the chance to explore, but I think it would work quite nicely. Eric's a bit like John Smith if you take away the "being arrogant" part, and that's actually the only reason why I don't support Jane/John no much. Ariel/Jim Hawkins - The more I hear/see this pairing, the more I like them |

I don't know Nikki. Now that I think about it, I actually can see Ariel and Hercules working out long term. Hercules is actually like a more naive Eric (with super strength!) but near the end of the movie he was more 'solid' and in the Hercules show seemed less naive then in the movie (if you count that xD) Ariel to me seems like Meg before being dumped and damned. I see her as having that potenial to be guarded and sarcastic. So I think it'd depend on what point in their lives that they'd meet for things Hercules and Jane were very cute together xD. I really liked that dynamic and hope you do get a little following (i'm working on one with a gypsy and a stiff British guy ) Eric and Jane would be pretty cute, and yeah Eric has a more laid back personality then John. I'm not into Ariel and Jim. I think he shares too many of the same flaws that I don't think anything could ever really be learned, or expressed in the way one of them could learn from the other. I just think they're a little too close in personality for me to find interesting. |

Ariel would probably enjoy the adventures Herc has as a hero. Being able to explore all of the places he travels to would be a big draw. XD
I like Jasmine/Eric, who are both very similar in that they don't wish to be forced to marry, and they'd rather discover their own destinies. Jasmine wants to see the world, Eric can do this for her. They would get each other. They're awesome <3
I also like Sid (Toy Story) and Darla (Finding Nemo) ... its the stuff nightmares are made of!

As for me Jodi's sucked me into Norry/Esme and I do think Herc and Jane would be quite cute.
To be honest for me Ariel/Jim is a bit of a hot-button topic not so much because of the characters but some of the fandom. For certain Disney fangirls Jim seems to be a bit of a "little black dress". I.e. He goes with everything. He's cute, a bit of a rebel, with Daddy issues, but ultimately a sweetheart who loves his Momma. So I can see the attraction and I do love him as a character, but they tend to pair him with whichever Disney girl is their favorite or an original character that more often than not is a Mary Sue for obvious reasons.
And in Ariel's case some of them seem to take particular glee in breaking her up with Eric (who may or may not be portrayed as an OOC jerk, and sometimes AFTER they're married) to show how Jim is "better" for her. All of that stuff has admittedly soured me on the pairing soemwhat, even in AU situations.
That said I could kinda see Ariel and Jim as a cute first love, teen romance kind of thing, but I can't picture them say, older, and married with kids. I think long-term they're so similar that they'd be better off as friends. But that's just my take.
I actually have a hard time thinking in terms of Disney AU cause more often than not I *like* the canon couples, but it it is fun to sometimes sit back and play "What If".

LOL! I'm proud to have been able to do that, Jess ^^ Speaking of for those of you I haven't shown this too, I got my second art piece back from the comissioner ^^. i187.photobucket.com/albums/x163/fridamoonbeam/esmenorry.jpgYeah, Jess pretty much pointed out my thoughts on Ariel and Jim. So no use in repeating what's already been said (and I posted on it already lolz) As far as Gaston and Vanessa goes, I used to like that idea more. I see her liking to toy with him, but she's way too indepedant and I see her getting tired of him fast once the novelty wore off and just wanting to take his voice away XD Remember, Ursula wanted to be ruler of the ocean and was a bit of a feminist in her own way. Somehow I don't see six or seven dogs apart of that LOL That's just my opinion of it ^^ |

Jodi, LOVE!!!! Awesome pic.
I've never seen Treasure Planet so can't truly comment on the whole Jim/Ariel thing. But like Jess, by and large I love canon couples. Particularly Ariel and Eric. There's a lot more depth to Eric than most people give him credit for.
Nikki, I am intrigued by your Herc/Jane. I *hated* the animated Tarzan. Loathed it, despised it, feel like I wasted 70 minutes of my life (didn't watch the whole thing, couldn't finish it!), etc. To put that in context I grew up with the Johnny Weismuller/Maureen O'Sullivan black and white movies and I love that Jane and Tarzan to pieces.
The Gaston/Vanessa pairing is amusing at first glance, but it wouldn't work out. For all the reasons Jodi stated. Gaston's motivation is too shallow for him to be able to keep company with Vanessa/Ursula for long. Like Jodi said, she's get tired of him. The whole domestic thing definitely is not in her life plan.
If we're talking world domination, it's Ursula-Vanessa/Jafar that intrigues me. As Vanessa, she also bears a striking resemblance to Jasmine and her sensuality would definitely appeal to Jafar. He would rule the land and she would rule the sea. The havoc they could create would be almost infinite.

Oooh, Rachel, you have me intrigued with Vanessa/Jafar! It makes me want to get a'practicing on my evil laugh. Bwah ha ha ha ha! Vanessa could probably work her magic to seduce Frollo as well, but I think we all know a relationship like that's gonna go up in Hellfire flames. Frollo and Ursula are my two favorite villains but both are far too mentally unstable to sustain a relationship. Ursula has a dominant personality and definitely would need to be in control, so pairing her with a fiery (no pun intended) villain is a recipe for disaster. I'm a fan of the Ariel/Jim *friendship* pair. They might have a spark relationshipwise for a time, but I'd agree that they're too similar flaws-wise to work out. They wouldn't learn from each other or balance each other out. They'd just get each other into lots and lots and lots of trouble. Which would be fun for a time but not in the long-term. Ariel could definitely help squeeze out Jim's more tender side, but the balance isn't there as much as it is with Ariel and Eric. I like my canon pairing. Plus, Treasure Planet was one of the few Disney movies that survived WITHOUT an A-plot relationship. Doppler and Amelia got together, but they were supporting characters. Jim can stand on his own, even if he has Silver as a father figure. I'm madly in love with Disney's Tarzan (this is coming from somebody who thinks plotless catboys-in-space Avatar is worth a watch simply because it's *so* *darn* *PRETTY*) and I do love Jane, and Jane/Eric is a cute little AU pairing as well as Herc and Jane. I never thought of shipping either of them but they sound pretty cool. I'm with Jess on the liking canon couples thing. I have my favorites but I do like to play with AUs occasionally, even if they do include non-canon ships. |

I'll never actually pursue trying to write an Ursula/Jafar, but it's definitely interesting to think about.

I think the only canon couple I really don't like is Tarzan/Jane, but mostly because I, personally, don't see any substance in their relationship and I think that Jane's impulsive decision to stay in the Jungle would soon become a regret. Also, I think communication is a HUGE stone in their shoes. I mean, Jane's a blabbermouth... it's frustrating to be in a relationship with a man you can barely talk to, because you're both on completely different communication levels. Also, Jane's a posh, civilized, very educated person... although I understand she'd be attracted to a monkey man in a loincloth, what would happen when the lust wore out? The whole "opposites attract" theory is very pretty, but it has its limits Jane could have had a fling in the Jungle, but if I wanted her to have a good solid relationship with a man, then Tarzan most certainly wouldn't have been my choice. I would have much preferred it if she actually returned to London and left Tarzan behind (something like John Smith and Pocahontas), but that's just me I'm talking Disney, of course I've never read the books, so I don't even know how this whole situation was dealt with there. As for most of the other canon couples... yeah, I'm a sucker too I've been more of a Hercules/Meg fan, but I think I've put so much effort and thinking into this Herc/Jane fanfic that I ended up not understanding Hercules/Meg on a long-term relationship. The canon couple I think I could never tear apart is definitely Aurora/Phillip I think people overlook them a lot because they're so "default", but I just think there's so much more to them than what we see in the movie, and the more fanfic I write, the more passionate I get about the pairing I don't think they'd be a perfect couple, but it's interesting to try and figure out what their problems would be and how they'd fix them. Along with another friend, I decided to set out on a challenge: to write a fanfic about a Belle/Phillip love affair I started it (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6129429/1/Black_Mirror) and I'm almost finishing it, but it really taught me that Phillip/Aurora is a bond too hard to break (so much that more than half of the fanfic is Phillip realizing why he fell in love with Aurora in the first place  Yeah... I'm rambling a lot. *sits in a corner* |

Agreed. I'm mostly about canon couples too. I feel like Disney just gets it right most of the time. I think that's an interesting perspective on Jane and Tarzan though, Nikki. But I have to say, I've never really given that relationship much thought to be honest. I haven't seen the whole movie in a long time. I remember thinking they were a cute couple but Mare could probably give you a better rebuttle then I could lolz
I agree about 'opposites attracting' as a fleeting thing to base a relationship on. I do love them to have differences though. At first glance Esme and Norry don't seem like they'd have anything in common. But both of them are stubborn leaders who are very protective of their people/culture. She's more about embracing who you are, and he's more about margins and disaplin. However, I deffinitely see them finding unexpected soul mates in each other. Esme has a lot of emotional intelligence that I think she'd help draw him out of the riggid persona (which imho, was partly an act) and she is someone who tries to really look at the person inside and would be more upfront if she got a good vibe from him. I think he'd secretly find her very sexy at first. He try to hide it and stick with duties but the more he'd know her the more he'd love her since she could understand him (poor guy struck me as being 'alone' in the pirate movies) and love how warm and artistic she is. Deffinitely never a dull moment with those two lolz
*nods* I actually don't like when canon couples are split up in the same verse. To me its just more about who ever is writing just wants to put people they like better together, and not usually cause they do work. Like I think there's a fic where Ariel and Aladdin get together and Eric and Jasmine get together in the same one. That just makes me roll my eyes. LOVE all four of them to pieces but what was the point of that?
Ariel and Aladdin as first loves would SO cute, but like with Jim, I don't see them being older and married with kids. Eric and Jasmine I could see working long term. They have a lot in common but there's also a lot of differences between them. Jazzy is so firey, and Eric is so chill, I think it'd be good to trade some of that energy off with each other ^^
But just like Phillip/Aurora with you Nikki, I can't bust up Ariel and Eric xD

Aurora/Phillip is without a doubt my second favorite pairing. Sleeping Beauty is my second favorite Disney movie, in large part because Walt chose to use the ballet score as the music and I'm a sucker for Tchaikovsky ballets.
There is a lot there to work with! Phillip is so adventurous, not afraid to go out and try new things. Aurora has been sheltered for so long that there's a whole world out there she knows nothing about. Phillip would have so much fun showing it to her and falling in love with her all over again every time she discovered something new.
Nikki, I'm going to read that fan fic! Would you mind if I copied it into a Word document so I could put it on my pocket PC? I wouldn't share the file with anyone, of course.

Wonderfully put I love you already. I have no trouble with it whatsoever I could even send you the original file (my doc), if you prefer In fact, it might even be better, because I've made a few changes and haven't gone back to editing them on FF.net. Seeing you're a SB fan, your critique is very welcome and I'm really happy you're offering to read it |
