Aww the fanart with asheiji and kids... <3 It gave me an idea for a fic: Ash and Eiji's child(ren) notice that something isn't going right in one of their friends' life. Obviously they're too young and naive to realize that their friend is being abused at home. But Ash sees, and knows... Merry XMas and Happy New Year!

About an AshEiji [child], I'd like the name Layla for a daughter. Aslan (or Arslan/Arsalan, which is a Turkish name and not Hebrew like Yoshida thought) is the hero of a popular Persian epic. And Layla is from a famous Arab piece, Layla and Majnun, the middle-eastern version of Romeo and Juliet.

Ash has noticed that Layla's been a little ... off, for a while.

She's always bene a little introspective for her age, and generally just a good kid. Gets that from being raised by Eiji, Ash guesses. No way someone raised by someone that good could end up with a cruel bone in their body, even if Ash is the other parent. At least, that's what Ash has to keep telling himself to try to get the idea that Layla won't end up like him.

But she's been even more withdrawn lately, like she's thinking about something beyond her years.

Ash doesn't like it.

It's not quite familiar in a way that's especially concerning to him, but it's uncomfortable enough to see that he's worried. And she's been brushing him off when he asks, but he's determined to get through to her. Layla is his daughter, after all, as weird of a situation as that is for him to realize sometimes.

"Hey kiddo," he says one day, when she gets home from elementary. "You okay if we do an ice cream check in?" It's a keyword of sorts between the three of them—Eiji included—that started just due to Layla's love of ice cream. It became an easy way to talk to her about anything serious or seemingly scary. Spoonful of sugar type of situation. The ice cream makes everything a little more palatable.

But Layla frowns, now, and hugs her knees to her chest. "I dunno," she admits.

"We don't have to, but I do think it would be helpful to talk some things out, yeah? Something's on your mind."

She pouts.

"Am I wrong?" Ash says, not pushing too hard, but just a small challenge.

"Dummy," Layla mumbles. "How'd you know?"

"Hey, language," Ash says, halfhearted. Like he hasn't said worse in front of her. "Come on, let's get some ice cream and talk stuff out."

Once they're settled in with their bowls, Ash waits for Layla to speak first. She already knows that he's wanting a conversation here, since he essentially used the parent equivalent of the safe word they gave her to get her out of any situation without others picking up on it. He's inviting her to say anything and everything on her mind, but he's going to let her do it on her terms.

"... It's my friend at school," Layla says after a few bites.

"Don't talk with your mouth full," Ash reminds her softly. "What's going on with your friend?"

"He's just"—Layla makes a face—"I dunno."

Ash feels a flare of anger for a moment. "Is he bullying you?"

But Layla quickly shakes her head, barely sparing this kid from the wrath of Ash Lynx. "No, more like I'm worried he might be getting bullied. Or ... something." She frowns down into her bowl, and Ash can feel his entire demeanor shift.

Ash goes almost deadly quiet for a moment, thinking of how to approach this. He can't make assumptions too quickly, but he does know that they've taught Layla enough of how to speak up for herself and what healthy friendships should look like that she's probably right if she thinks that something's wrong.

Taking a slow breath, Ash reminds himself that he needs to not scare Layla here as well. He doesn't want her to worry any more than she already is—she's such a good kid, but it isn't her responsibility to be looking after her classmates. If she's right about this—or, rather, if Ash is right about what he thinks Layla might be saying—then the adults in her classmate's life have failed him.

Ash knows what that's like.

"... What's got you worried?" Ash asks gently. "Maybe I can help him, or we can figure out someone who can."

Layla thoughtfully scoops another spoonful of ice cream. "Well," she starts, "he seems to get hurt a lot at home."

Ash's temper flares for a moment, and it takes everything in him to remember that Layla's probably talking about the normal bumps and bruises that happen with the accidents of childhood.

Except, apparently, enough of them to worry her.

"What kind of hurt?" Ash asks.

Layla drops her spoon and runs her hands up her arms. "Like here," she explains. She taps her wrists with the opposite hands. "And here."

"Like bruises?"

Nodding, Layla says, "Like when I fell down."

Ash winces thinking of it even now—Layla fell out of her bunk bed once a few months ago. She wasn't badly injured, but she did have some really bad bruising.

"And he always seems scared in P.E.," Layla continues. "I don't know what's wrong, but ... something, I think."

Ash winces, thinking of his own experiences with sports at that age. There could be any number of reasons why a kid might not be fond of physical education, but ... it's definitely not a good sign.

Ash swallows. "Thank you for trusting me with all of this, sweetie. I'm going to see what we can do, okay? We'll make sure he's okay."

" 'Kay!" Layla says immediately. She trusts Ash so strongly that all the worry she's been showing recently seems to melt out of her. She kicks her legs back and forth, enjoying her ice cream.

... Well, Ash has a new goal. Ethical routes first: he'll bring it to the school's attention first, and then follow up with a social worker and the ChildHelp hotline.

And, if all else fails, there's still a little bit of Ash Lynx left in him these days. He's gotten his hands dirty before, and he's not afraid to do it again. Not if it means he can help someone like who he used to be.

ty @novemberthorne​ for the tag ur sweet (see his post here!)

i have so many wips so narrowing them down to just five is a mess.. but we stay silly. all of these are steddie to some degree except for the stobin one:

1. carve your name on arrival 2. 25 years later 3. finding nothing but faith in nothing 4. stobin s3 reflection ficlets 5. steddie ponyplay fic

the most ive worked on recently is for something saved under “25 years later” so thats what my snippet will be:

“I’ve been better.” Steve smiled and flipped the file open to see, first, Eddie’s credentials. He had been prepared to say more, but what he read shocked him, his jaw dropping open entirely.

Eddie glanced down at the page, nervous; he waited for Steve to pick his jaw up from the floor.

“You’re a neurosurgeon.”

OMG NEW CR HEADCANONS??? NOT CLICKBAIT???

This won’t really follow my og hc’s but shh; anyways Firespirit, Knight and Princess shenanigans (feat. Pistachio):

* Princess and FS interchangeably are the “one that gets them into trouble” and the “one that hypes up/instigates the other one getting them into trouble”. Knight is always the “one getting them out of trouble”

* Princess gave the other two the silent treatment for a full 24 hours when she found out they finally got together and didn’t tell her. She was the one advocating for them to just get the romantic tension over with already! How could they not tell her?? She of course understands that they’d probably be a bit scared of how people would react, but don’t they know her well enough to know she wouldn’t judge them or flaunt their relationship around if they truly didn’t want her to?? But, like I said, it was only for 24 hours. She walks right up to them afterwards, winks, then gabs them both by the arm and marches off to their next adventure! (With them both looking baffled)

* She laments her woes of romance to them, pining after the pretty green haired paladin (is that the proper term for what she is??? Idk). Knight comes up with the idea to sort of wingman for her during training. It backfires horrifically bc Pistachio assumes his compliments were confessions that he had feelings for her highness. When he informs the other two of this, Princess groans as she slaps her face onto her vanity’s desk while FS laughs hysterically

* FS happens to find Pistachio on her own later on and she seems upset. He floats down to check on her, startling her and getting a bit too close to the point of her spear. She quickly retracts her weapon and apologizes. There’s a silence. He’s about to ask what’s wrong when she blurts out that she herself has feeling for Princess, but does not wish to hurt her dear friend Knight. Then she rambles on about how she honestly thought FS and Knight were a thing since the two are often seen with each other and it only would take a glance at them to think they were flirting. She looks at him. He stays silent. She looks away and rambles on more about how Knight’s compliments seemed a bit odd since despite what he was saying he didn’t seem all that “in love”. Silence again. She rambles even /more/ about how it must just be his inability to get his emotions across. A second of silence before she’s off again about how he has gotten much better about that though, especially when complimenting FS on his abilities after a battle or something, all with a sweet, soft smile on his face. She looks back at him. He stays silent but he is definitely holding back a snicker and smirk. Something clicks in her head. “OH. OH!!” She runs off.

* He tells Knight about this and he scolds Firespirit for meddling like that and FS just says “Babe, I didn’t even SAY anything! She figured it all out on her own!”

* FS used to secretly teach Princess how to fight through late night training and sparring. Knight found out and was having none of it till they both hit him with their respective puppy-dog eyes. He began to help as well, though he mostly worried over her getting even the slightest of injuries. Then when Pistachio and Princess become a couple, she also teaches her (and Princess /totally/ didn’t “forget” how to hold a sword just so Pistachio could stand behind her and show her how by physically moving her arms and legs to stand correctly. She really didn’t remember! Don’t look at her like that Firey she’s being totally truthful here!)

* (Pistachio knows she’s lying but you’re not gonna hear her complain or argue)

absolutely insane posts in the mined craft youtuber tag tonight

[kuiinncedes]

bruh

[heywriters]

Putting trigger/content warnings in reblog tags IS STILL USEFUL to anyone blocking those tags. It's also a decent spot to leave a short note to prev/OP like the person in tags who reminded me of the former :)

if you reblog something and add a ton of tags to boost it, that doesn't do anything. your heart is in the right place, but tags on a reblog are for organization or commentary. they don't bump it up in the tag feed or count towards "trending."

it doesn't harm anyone to do this! it's just not something you need to spend time on.

i know I've said this before, and i wanted to recycle my old post(s) about it but can't find it.

[dualitysdownfall]

Don't forget their MEETCUTE

Their INTIMACY

i joked about sam stans start stealing traits from dean too but the problem is his traits just aren’t worth stealing  😔

[problematicbyler]

magentamee has me blocked. Idk why cause idr interacting with them ever but I wanted them to know I agree with their post wholeheartedly...also for whatever caused the block sorry. Just sending this in so they can see it and know I agree with their post. Also wondering if they are really getting anons about questionable mutuals cause if so that is def a witch hunt and I blame the bylerconfessions blog for this witch hunt. They keep answering and talking about the subject. If they really disliked the subject as do their anons they'd just stop talking about it.

This tag used to be so gatekept by the motherfucking antis and I refuse to go back to keeping it tame just because some pearl clutchers want to have a discourse about it and witch hunt.

i will just say that blocking tends not to be personal and many people are moved to block very easily so don't take it to heart!!! everyone should curate their feeds however they want. so don't over-stress about it!

the anons about questionable mutuals is insane to me like as you said that is definitely a witch hunt and so extra and unnecessary. and i 100% agree a lot of it is fueled by bylerconfessions pretty gleefully attacking spicybylerpolls and anyone who engages with it. the whole thing makes me kind of hate this fandom when i was finally getting over it and feeling like people were being more accepting.

i agree though - i'm certainly not going to go back to how it was in 2022 where we just listened to grumpy 14 year olds complaining about everything that made them personally uncomfortable. that's how byler twitter devolved into cancelling fic authors for writing practice kissing fics. that's how byler artists got dogpiled and harassed for liking nsfw art from an entirely different fandom. that's how we scared off half the talented creators in this fandom. i simply refuse to return to that level of fear and conservatism so i hope this backlash doesn't scare folks off when we were finally getting to a point where we could have meaningful conversations about this shit.
