Dave Stutler (The Sorcerer's Apprentice)

[dragonring]

LET ME LINK YOU TO EVERYTHING

-The movie intro! For those curious about the dragon ring and how the Arthurian legend works here. But most importantly, at around 04:00, you can see how little Dave was before the trauma: bright and capable of impressing a lady. Baww.

-More little Dave and the day magic ruined his life. The clip sadly finishes before an important part: he runs outside, his classmates laugh at him for having "wet his pants", his teacher accuses him of making up stories and he cries. He was never the same since then. :(

-He truly is an apprentice so let's study! Sorcery 101 (science = magic yes shut up) and obligatory training montage.

-Some action: Almost got killed in his college's bathroom by Depech Mode - sorcerers also have car chases shut up - Dave, you should run

-This movie is based on the same poem+ballad than the Fantasia short, so with that name there is, of course, the crazy mops scene.

-Dave and Becky may be a quick, cheesy fantasy/action film couple but I love them so have all the clips: saving the day from thieves plus A DATE LIKE AN APPOINTMENT - romancing the girl with science - super cute scene on the roof where she convinces him not to give up

-Deleted scenes! having Nic Cage as your teacher makes life extra hard and complicated - -Dave talking about how much the whole mess affected him. Yes, to his dog. I promise it makes more sense in context. ...kinda.

-Final fight against Morgana! This video has better quality but this one is longer and includes Dave reviving his master. Yes, he defeated Morgana with science and a mop's help.

I know Disney cut some of those for youtube, others have shitty quality and some important scenes are missing, obscure canon and all. So if you've seen the movie and remember anything, feel free to make your character comment on those too. ;)

You talk with your dog --

[ oh no she's very enchanted by it really. ]

[dragonring]

[And now Dave is embarrassed!] Well, yeah, he-- Tank has been with me since I was a little kid. He's like-- family, you know?

[steeledskin]

I know. [ solemn, almost. ] I know precisely.

[dragonring]

[It takes Dave a moment, but then he remembers Jon with Ghost. Could it mean...?]

...the direwolves?

[steeledskin]

A little larger than your sweet companion, I'm afraid. Even when they were pups.

[dragonring]

You think Tank is sweet? [He finds that a bit amusing for some reason.] I don't think size matters much when it comes to your brother-in-fur. What was yours called?

[steeledskin]

Lady. Her name was Lady.

[dragonring]

A lady for another lady? It fits. There's a story in my world called "Lady and the Tramp", it's about dogs too.

[steeledskin]

And who is the tramp?

[dragonring]

Lady was this cute girl dog that lived in a very good house, and Tramp was a stray from the streets. But they fell in love anyway and had many puppies of their own.

It isn't fair that something as wonderful as magic should have turned into such an ugly event. [Couched in the childish language of justice, Dorian still means it: that should have gone differently. Dave deserved better.

Quick, time to lighten things:] Your courtship strategies are rather formidable. ['I AM WEARING NEW SHOES']

[dragonring]

[That's alright, Dave appreciates the sentiment.] My entire life is defined by a series of ugly events, maybe it comes with the territory? I--

[Oh boy, that sure embarrasses him.] That's-- one way to put it. Thank you? We're together now so... I guess they worked.

[WHAT. HE WAS!]

[depicted]

Well. [Oh look, a thing to tease him about.] Events with Miss Becky don't seem so ugly.

[dragonring]

[Oh, Dorian, you're making Dave go all starry eyed and flustered. See that smile? That's the goofy smile of a dork in love.] ...no, nothing with her is ever ugly. She's amazing, Dorian, I still can't believe she returned my feelings. [She deserves better, he thinks.] I wish you could meet her, you two could probably hit it off over music.

[depicted]

[How impossibly cute.] Does that mean you'd let us carry you further into music?

It is just a cousin to mathematics, after all.

[dragonring]

Iiii-- [Oh boy, he's screwed, isn't he.] ...I made the coils "sing", didn't I?

[THAT HAS TO COUNT FOR SOMETHING.]

[depicted]

[Oh Dave.] It's a start.

[red_branch]

Mmm. Well, you know--I agree.

Women tend to be more important than all other things.

[dragonring]

...really? Even more important than saving the world? [Lancer, Dave is gonna need you to have a talk with his master.]

[playmakings]

Oh my gosh you are a Disney Prince! I told you I told you I told you, those mops know!

Your life looks really exciting, though. I hope it's in the same world as mine so we can meet up! Maybe without people trying to kill you? Or.... [ That professor guy, that mentor. He's kinda creepy ok ]

[dragonring]

Nonono, those mops were mocking me, there's a difference! [Why does he even bother. A sigh.] My life... it's exciting now, I guess, but for ten years before all that? It sucked. Pretty bad. [A chuckle.] No more killers, I promise. Meeting up would be great, I'll show you New York like only a native can.
