I thought you were talking about the Disney Villain dating sim thingy wherein all the villains are turned into hot anime bois. It's called Twisted Wonderland and it is...

It

It is a thing.

It is a whole entire thing.

Hot Anime Boy Disney Villains.

...

Yay?

The developers really went all in on making each character's game play feel like you're role-playing them, to some degree. I especially love the fact that, in order to make the art styles fairly cohesive, someone had to make high-quality, watercolor-style digital artwork of things like Maleficent's goblin goons, Kronk talking to a squirrel, and old-timey Pete getting angry enough to blow steam out of his hat.

This page has all the card images in expandable lists, if anyone is interested. (Except the Avengers one is missing for some reason?)

Let's find out! Because I reckon it might be fun to translate what the names actually do mean where possible. {= D

I'll be looking these up primarily on Behind the Name. Will note if I venture elsewhere.

• Ursula, to start, is "little bear" from the stem ursa "bear [feminine]" + diminutive suffix. *snerk* She's a water bear. {X D
• Maleficent is... well, yeah, it's pretty much what you think it is. From the Latin maleficens "harmful, evil." (You could throw a reference to dragons in there for funsies, though!)
• Captain Hook has a given name: James! Seems the names James and Jacob both derive from the Hebrew name יַעֲקֹב (Ya'aqov), meaning ""holder of the heel" or "supplanter", or perhaps from a hypothetical name like יַעֲקֹבְאֵל (Ya'aqov'el), meaning "may God protect." IDK, I think "Supplanter" is a pretty decent name for a pirate. Just "Heel" wouldn't be far off, either. ^_^
• Jafar means "stream" in Arabic. Huh, that's rather nice.
• John derives from the Hebrew name יוֹחָנָן (Yochanan) meaning "Yahweh is gracious."
• Queen of Hearts is a dreary plain-English one. I poked around a bit, though, and found she's called Cora in Once Upon a Time (apparently it's under the Disney umbrella). I suspect it's meant as a derivative of corazon and would thus mean "heart," but BtN says it comes from the Greek name Kore, which means "maiden" and is another name for Persephone.

So there's the original six. I'd stop there, but I actually looked up Lady Tremaine and Mother Gothel earlier today, so:

• Tremaine is a Cornish place-name meaning something like "stone settlement," "stone town," "town encircled with stone"; sources vary. It's only on BtN as a user-submitted name, so I skimmed the Google results for more info. I'm shocked it isn't French. I could've sworn the story was French...
• Gothel isn't on BtN at all, and with good reason! To quote the Disney Wiki, it's "not a personal name at all, but an old-fashioned occupational word meaning 'nurse' or 'foster mother,' which the Grimms added to increase up [sic] the old-time German atmosphere of the story." I don't know why this amuses me as much as it does. {X D

Though I do love conlangs in general.

As part of my Newbie-Reply-To-Everything-So-People-Know-Me-And-I-Can-Get-Permission-Faster plan, the link is here.

Maybe you can just translate similar words? Like, say, Malevolent and Gothic.

It is the golden age of Beleriand: the Long Peace, when the Siege of Angband seemed unbreakable. The newly-arrived Men are settling into their lands, relations with the Dwarves are friendly, and the wine coming up from Dorwinion is of exceptional quality.

So of course House Feanor are stirring up trouble.

I Ahtarilar - The Avengers: House Feanor in snazzy costumes that "totally disguise" their identities.

• Angando - The Iron Man: Curufin, wielder of the surpassingly sharp knife Angrist.
• Tarraumo - The Storm Lord: Celegorm, swift rider of the Feanorians, who laughs as he cuts his enemies down.
• Lungon - The Hulking One: Caranthir, always angry, whose relations with the dwarves have given him a forgemaster's bulky build.
• Cáno Himbaringo - Captain Himring: Maedhros, with a shield buckled to his maimed arm to give him some use for it.
• I Sornoheni - The Eagle-eyes: Amrod & Amras, the archers of the southern Feanorian lands.
• Morindis - The Black Bride: Their favourite cousin Aredhel, who her husband thinks is staying quietly at home in Nan Elmoth. She's not.

(Maglor is sitting over in his Gap composing angsty songs, and does not appear in this film.)

Umbarhosse - The Army of Fate: The rest of House Finwe in equally fancy costumes. Their masks are slightly better.

• Andaner - Super-man: Fingolfin, High King, and strongest of all (given that he will later manage to go one-on-one with Morgoth).
• Quildaron - Bat-man: Finrod Felagund. By day a wealthy dilanette king, by night he dresses in a bat-fell of the enemy and goes sneaking about.
• Elmendis - Wonder-woman: Galadriel. I mean, it's just Galadriel. With a whip.
• Enyando - Machine-man: Turgon, wielding all the high arts that Gondolin brought to its vast gates.
• Ita - Flash: Fingon, fastest rider of the non-Feanorians.
• Earro - Ocean-one: Orodreth. A bit of a wet blanket, but as son of Earwen he does have a connection to the sea.

I think there may end up being too many requests. Oops?
