    ITT we talk about the adventures of Marina Seadrift as she relives the events of movies she was never in.

    She goes from world to world, fighting off heartless-- er... Nightmares, and has every main character from a Disney movie treat her like a therapist, seeing that they tell her every detail about their lives as soon as they meet her.

    Every now and again Maleficent shows up too.

    Bwuhahahahahaha.

    If anyone wants to read it, do so in small chunks. Seriously, it's long. Real long. I think we're in about... well, somewhere in the 80s in chapter count.

    If anyone wants a tl;dr- nothing happens until the more recent chapters. No, really. Nothing seriously plot relevant happens until maybe around the Atlantica arc where Marina creepily sniffs Ariel's hair and decides she's her surrogate daughter after knowing her for a few days. Apparently DisneyFan01 only recently remembered there's supposed to be something resembling a plot.

    Also, anyone have an opinion of what the worst arc thus far is?

    Definitely the Vegas and Tremors arc. Why she felt the need to bring Disney cartoon characters into that plot is beyond me.

    I was never able to get into her actual fanfiction. At least with her comics there was something I could look and scream at, but I couldn't get very far into even the first chapter of the story. I'd read the Tremors arc though, that sounds too bad to pass up.

    For me, the Agrabah arc and basically ever since the end of the Atlantica arc are the worst. The former is mainly because Marina likes to harp on other cultures while also blowing off patrolling for Nightmares to buy clothes "because I appreciate cultures!" or something? She also willingly goes along with Aladdin's lie and is even encouraging at first, but then she gets on her soapbox about how LYING IS BAAAAD M'KAY. The latter is because Marina is... creepily taking on a mother role to a character who canonically fought against parental authority because, duh, teenager, and Marina has only known her for a few days yet is already extremely possessive over Ariel even toward King Triton - Ariel's father. That and ever since Ariel was kidnapped, Marina has been angsting about it as a way to just draw attention to poor Marina.

    At least we got to see a reason why Silrina should happen! (That was sarcasm. DF's ideal man is apparently one who threatens you and doesn't respect your boundaries when you want space. Like a certain sparkly vampire.)

    I can't even blame you. It's long. Very long. It's the kind of thing that's bearable when you riff it with friends, or just tear it apart with commentary.

    I doubt the mods will mind us talking about the art here. Better that than to make another faithful hearts thread in the comics/art board, lol.

    Even with all that in mind, Donald Duck doesn't go in Tremors.

    The comics are so intertwined with the fic that it's hard to talk about one without bringing up the other.

    EDIT: To avoid double-posting, I still must say that when the hot-headed Donald Duck is the most reasonable character in your fic, something is wrong.

    He seems to hang around Marina a lot, so my headcanon is this: he's Marina's conscience, and we know how Marina is.

    I am known about Faithful Hearts for years, but never gave it a good look. The most i known about it's a Kingdom Hearts knock off with a mary sue lead and that there was a poorly made mostly traced comic for it. So i might give it a proper go now, since I am reminded that it exists. Also holy fuck this fic is 85 chapter long. I always thought she stop writing years ago, but its somehow still going strong for some god forsaken reason. I always thought of fanfics as something that you don't spend alot of time. But some folks never chose to leave their fantasy land. Well wish me luck as I get on the Crazy ride called Faithful Hearts.

    Even if they don't want to leave fantasy land, they could always make some friends and get into a good D&D campaign.

    I also think we should go back to riffing chapters because just trying to bInge read it all is incredibly boring.

    I was actually coming here just to suggest that, lol.

    Also DF and/or Marina in a DnD campaign. Just imagine it.

    I'd DM it. Marina would be an example of an elderich knight in the fighter class, actually.

    Should we start the riff from Chapter one? Lol.

    Yes. We should let the Uninitiated know the snoozefest from the beginning, so that they may appreciate our sacrifice. We can alternate chapters, to help keep our sanity.

    ...what's left of it.

    What do you mean? Faith of the Heart has always been full of so many exciting chapters, like when Marina goes on a pointless shopping spree in Vegas and then sits around in the desert for hours. Or that entire Winnie the Pooh arc where Donald and Marina bickered at each other and nothing was accomplished at all.

    @Atropos is here!

    Come on, Atropos. Isn't all that excitement worth riffing again though? I'll do chapter three tonight when I get home.

    I'll be working backwards, but I call Chapter 1.
    If I can find the links, I'll edit this post for the older versions of Faithful Hearts/Faith of the Heart just so we have a comparison. I could swear there was one where Marina describes herself as an "almost princess."

    I wasn't going to do chapters one and two because those readings I posted were nicely done. You can if you want to though.

    I think it was the old version that had the "I lived a little but of the life of a princess" line. Because ladies in waiting do that.
