@traumas-mermay-2025 Day 22: Shells and pearls
Miranda x Roland mermaid AU!
Playing pretend together.
Roland II and Lorelei during their wedding in the palace garden.
Sketches of young and old Roland II and Tilly I made. Their child designs are really cute, and also I think it's funny how tall he becomes compared to her. Are these two separate artworks, or is this some kind of time travel/future/past vision scenario? You decide!
This was originally meant to be a 100% goofy funny comic, but somehow it turned into angst halfway through. I still think it's funny that Minimus canonically learns the truth before Amber and James though.
(And thanks to @ograndebatata for helping me rewrite the script to be more fitting).
Comic Script: Roland: … So, now you know the truth about my first wish on the well. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before. If any of you has anything to say, please do. Roland: Okay… one at a time please. James: Does this mean I'm half-wishing well? If someone put a coin in my mouth could I grant their wishes? Roland: WHAT?! NO! Absolutely not! Sofia: I'm sorry dad. Minimus and I already knew, and I think he has told every horse in the kingdom by now. Roland: That's not… how did you…? Amber: Daddy… does that mean I could have killed Sofia when I turned her into a cat? Would she be dead because of me? Roland: No Amber. That wouldn't have happened. Don't worry, no one got hurt. Amber: But Sofia almost was! Roland: But she wasn't. She's alright. All of you are. I'm sorry I only told you now. but please remember we both love you all very much. And we'll all get through this together.
So, here's my first Sofia the First fanfiction! It features Roland II and Miranda having a conversation about something that they definitely needed to talk about eventually, and what better place to do it then there? (Trying not to give spoilers but I did put tag warnings on it just in case, because there are some heavy topics discussed).
King Roland II/Queen Miranda sketches because they are so cute together! Also, they never kissed on the lips in the show, so I needed to correct that.
I think that them getting married on the same day they met is both the funniest option and the most stereotypically Disney option.
Although, I feel like they would have probably gotten to know each other a little bit before they decided on marriage.
But I still think it would have been a short time considering that their kids hardly know each other after the wedding and Tilly wasn't able to make it to the wedding, which could have been for any number of reasons but the wedding being on short notice would be a possible explanation.
It is never revealed in the show how long it was between Roland and Miranda first meeting and their marriage to each other. So how long do you think it was? (I can't have an option for every possible time-frame so just vote for the one that's closest to whatever you headcannon/theorize is the time frame).
(I've been wondering this for a while now, so I needed to make a poll about it. I need to know what the rest of the Sofia the First fandom thinks of this.)
