The Canon Expies Meme

[espigeonage]

SAVE THE EARTH is a world tragically devoid of some of our most beloved works of fiction! (good thing too, otherwise reincarnates would be even more fucked up!) Or rather, they exist until someone apps from them, at which point they retroactively don't. But don't feel too bad for this Earth's inhabitants - just as no niche in nature is left open long before life fills it, other, similar fiction has taken the places of the canons we know!

Okay, so since we're all playing modern AUs most of them are familiar with pop culture, right? But since some are off-limits, we've got to get creative. Comment with a little about the expy - or expies, maybe there's more than one - of your character's canon. Or other canons. It can be more or less similar, by the same or different authors, have suspiciously similar titles or anything else! Be as straightforwards or detailed as you wish.

...I just realized if Riku was reading those books then this probably influences how he percieves his echoes. snap. ...His favorite character may have been Terra. Or rather, Geo, the super strong guy who went around beating baddies up. Probably didn't think much of Landis, the boy who was corrupted by the dark lord Nirabon. xD Or or Mickey. Idek. I NEED AN EXPY FOR DISNEY.

Also, I'm curious, how much would Aqua screw over the BBS trio? XD

SOB If i ever finish her app :| My reserve's probably gonna lapse, I've just been so damn busy...

The expy for Disney was the Eared Empire, which is currently ruled over by the Rabbit Prince, Oswalt. His father, Walter, is actually still alive, hence why he's still a Prince, but the elder Emperor is pretty much comatose, hence, the rule of the Kingdom falls to the Prince. Or... well, sort of, except the Prince has absconded because he found one of the Starheart Keys, also because ruling is boring. So instead the Prince's wife, Rosalind, is in charge.

... I may or may not call him Prince with a Thousand Enemies ha ha I'm clever

re: the BBS crew, I'm not sure yet. I actually do think that Geo and Cirrus (?????) proooobably do end up screwed, but Cirrus is at least mobile, but he's probably like Mytho in Princess Tutu, a walking zombie guy. Geo falls prey to his own arrogance for sure, but I think less in a bodysurfing way and more in a mind-controlled Dragon type of way (kind of merging Terra and Isa, really)

Mare (pronounced like the word for ocean) (I guess??? UNLESS YOU HAVE A BETTER NAME) doesn't get punted to the realm of Darkness, but does end up wandering the galaxy with Cirrus in tow, which leads into the Second Cycle, which is Skye, Landis, and Oceana's adventures.

Oceana/Kairi has a wayyyyy more active role, because female author. For the same reason, the gender balance in Org XIII is a lot more reasonable
