what you have to understand about sophie devereaux is that despite how she might first come across, she is deeply uncool. she is a theater kid and she’s also really, really bad at theater. she mentions her high school angst while beating the shit out of an assassin. she loves crime so so much. she thinks of life in terms of noir movie tropes. she struggles in all relationships that aren’t for grifting purposes. as a teenage girl she had a poster of a flight hijacker over her bed.
#and i say this with such love bc i was also a teenager w weird interests: she was a weird kid. she was a weird teen.#and tbh if you grew up as an awkward lonely kid? theres a part of you that never grow out of being an awkward lonely kid#wren speaks#leverageposting#leverage#sophie devereaux

A snippet from a future fic I'll probably never write, where Steve is a widower with two teenage kids, and he and Eddie randomly meet up, rekindling their old flame. This is when they've been together a while:
“Thank you,” Steve says, coming up behind Eddie at the bathroom sink.
Eddie pauses, catching Steve's eye in the mirror. “What for?” he asks, mouth foamy with toothpaste.
Steve slips his hands along Eddie's hips, hooks his chin over Eddie's shoulder. “For loving my kids.”
“You don't—” Toothpaste dribbles down Eddie's chin and he stoops to spit what's left in his mouth into the sink, gathering his hair to one side. He rinses his mouth out, wipes his face with a towel, then turns to Steve. “You don't have to thank me for that. Of course I love them.”
“Not everyone I've dated has.”
“They're idiots.” Eddie grabs the hem of Steve's shirt, pulling him close. “I mean, first of all, they're part of you, and I don't think I could love you and not love them. But...” He trails off, a small smile tilting his lips. “They're amazing kids.”
Pride swells in Steve's chest; he slides his arms around Eddie's waist and says, “They are.”
“And I'm pretty damn honored I get to be part of their lives,” Eddie says, “so thank you,” and he butts his head gently against Steve's.
Steve huffs and slides his hands up Eddie's back, pulling him into a tight embrace. “I love you.” He presses a kiss to Eddie's neck.
“I love you too.”
“And they both love you as well.”
Eddie lets out a shuddering breath. Steve knows how nervous Eddie was, when they started dating, that he wouldn't be welcomed, but it's almost like he's always been part of their family now. “Good to know,"”Eddie says.
Steve holds Eddie a little tighter. All those years ago, back in Hawkins, when they ended things, Steve thought he'd never see Eddie again. But here they are, together—a family—and Steve's never letting him go this time.
#Steddie#Steve x eddie#Steddie fic#Steddie fanfic#this is soooooo sappy I’m sorry 😫#anyway I don’t have names for Steve’s kids yet lol#but his son is bi too#his daughter is more like him otherwise though#also Steve takes a while to accept his sexuality so he’s only just come out to his kids because I like stories like that#even though I know some ppl in this fandom have found them offensive??#but yeah when he comes out his son gets upset because he then feels like he can’t come out without it being weird haha#and Steve is like what??? no??? when he eventually tells him#(I watched a lot of soap operas growing up :P sometimes it comes out in my writing lol)#that’s why I’ll probably never write this fic but it’s fun to dabble in the verse#pizzaqueenfic#pizzaqueenwrites#tsofverse

hawkeye who makes jokes that are followed with an uncomfortable silence hawkeye that says awkward things a little too loud hawkeye who is over exaggerated and does childish things that anyone else would be embarrassed to be caught doing or be around and trapper who always catches his eye and smiles at every flat joke trapper who sometimes mouths things at the same time hawkeye says them because he knows him that well trapper who happily indulges in hawkeye’s silly shenanigans . i am sick . i am sick
#i can’t even explain to you guys how trapper just going along with hawkeye makes me emotional#when you grow up as the weird kid with people looking at you funny when you did silly things it is more upsetting than i’d care to admit#it’s implied that trap is more ‘ normal ‘ so the fact that he just goes along with hawkeye#i .#y’all i .#he’s important to me#mash#m*a*s*h#mashposting#mash 4077#mashblr#hawkeye pierce#hawkeye#trapper john mcintyre#trapper john#john mcintyre#trapper mcintyre#piercintyre#piercentyre#hawktrap#traphawk#lgbt#lgbtq

the way lucanis immediately and oh so innocently counters davrin's suggestion that he could make the step up to something stronger than coffee with 'like gingerwort tea?' and davrin capitulating gracefully on the spot makes me think that once davrin and rye returned from their trip (in both senses of the word) in the arlathan woods, davrin went straight to lucanis in the pantry and dropped rye directly into his lap like 'here you make some sense of your mans he's been gently giggling and making skeleton puns the whole way home. also he said something about wanting pancakes and that no one makes them right except you. and also about fifty times that you smell sooo good and your hands are nice but I'm taking that one to my fucking grave there's gotta be a limit for everything'
#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#davrin#lucanis dellamorte#oc: Ellaryen Ingellvar#rook x lucanis#rookanis#imagining rye dangling his feet happily like a kid as all three of them eat pancakes is. a blessing that makes this whole day worth it#I've been having a weird one but this healed me I think. the boys.......#assan also gets a few pancakes. well. he takes a few pancakes and lucanis is like *shrug* I've got more batter ready it's fine#listen. listen. lucanis and rye both growing up almost without other children around or getting to be childish and silly#and getting to have this now?? davrin maybe carrying more of his clan with him that way than he realizes even apart from them for so long??#and bringing that with him??? them being like '...I wonder what happens if we drop a scrap of pancake into the fade. hm. experiment time?'#rye with his face resting in the curve of lucanis' neck all happy and relaxed (and lucanis fondly wrapping an arm around him#to keep him steady and safe and make sure he doesn't just topple over bonelessly?)#I'm CRYING

why are people saying Bruce was a teen when he started fostering Dick? he was in his early twenties
#also sometimes... i very much dislike the posts about the Bats being teen parents#as someone who was raised by parents who were 20 when they had me#if they had been any younger it would have been really bad#love my parents but they were not prepared lmfao#and i've known a lot of people who were raised by teen parents#some do great and have a good support system#others... do not.#and also it's just a little weird to want them to be a teen parent specifically#give it a couple years??#controversial take but it has to be said cause i was asked about it a few times#this is mostly unrelated to this post lmfao#but im hiding in the tags#and also i mean this in like. it's different if they get a random kid attached to them#but please recognize the dynamic is different#it wouldnt be a full parent child relationship#it would be like having a younger sibling but you take care of them and thus got parentified#I'm talking about having a BABY baby. as a teen#this post isn't about steph btw#i love her and i know she would have been a good loving mom but i also believe that it would have changed her greatly#giving up her childhood and never really growing into being a natural adult#steph i love you steph#sweet girl :((

You know those “Lloyd goes back to his og age” fics? Where Lloyd, using some sort of plot logic, is ‘reverted’ back to the age he was before he got aged up? Which was 10??
I find it hilarious to think that all the ninja and co would think this is a great thing, an opportunity for Lloyd to finally grow up normally, except depending on the time line, Lloyd isn’t ten anymore.
My guys like 16 mentally (in this post, let’s say he’s 16. But you could also say he’s 14 if you’re using the early seasons, 16-18 for the new design seasons, or 20+ for Dragons rising. Either way it’s hilarious).
Please i would hate it if i was 16 and suddenly turned 10 again. Like no i don’t wanna go back to this time i was horrible please. No Kai i don’t wear skull shirts anymore. No Jay i don’t need a booster seat in the mechs and cars we use- ZANE WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN’T USE THEM ANYMORE???
And then no one’s helping him go back to normal because they all forgot that he still aged mentally at a normal pace.
“GUYS PLEASE IM NOT 10 OH GOD. I DONT WANNA GO BAAAAACK”
#lego ninjago#ninjago#my worst nightmare is going back to whej i was a kid#liek yeah no Lloyd probably does miss his childhood and how he didnt get to grow up normally#but like hell as if he’s going back to that cringe fest. he is NOT sounding like a squeaky chicken again#lloyd ninjago#lloyd garmadon#ninjago lloyd#genuinely like lets not firgit that no matter what season you donit#lloyd is mentally older then 10 now#he would rather have his mind and body be the same age rather then be 10 as a 16-18 year old#i mean yeah it was weird to be body wise 16 but mentally 10#but this is way weirder#ninjago zane#zane julien#ninjago kai#kai smith#kai jiang#ninjago jay#jay walker

Cant stop thinking about how apparently Season 7 is going to be Ezran’s season and the slow and steady build up to a breaking point for him.
Ezran is in a weird delicate balance, walking across the tightrope of being a child and being a king. We see both sides equally, we see Ezran’s barely clinging childlike mannerisms and we also see him command and lead both with love and with force.
And he is equally regarded in this manner by the people around him, some addressing him more as a child then king and others more king then child.
“Who is this child?” ��Such childish dreams.” “You deserve time to do kid things” “the whining child king.” vs “He is a King!” “Because you know-you’re the King.” “That is what King Ezran decided.” “I serve the true King.”
That is already a lot to try and balance, his wants versus his duty as a king but now that balance is being tested.
The weight of everything is starting to crash down. His stressful rule as a king in a time of insurrection and war, his own people pushing back against his ideals and attempts at progress, his citizens and home decimated by a dragon, his father’s murderer being freed by his own brother, and now the releasing of an ancient evil.
No one told him his father was dead, too worried to tell a child horrible news, and no one had told him the plan to bring Runaan back, hardly giving him a second thought.
The more I think about it the more my brain drifts to this section from the season 2 novelization:
“No. No, no no!!” Ezran shouted. He didn’t care if he sounded like a two-year old.
“Ezran. It’s going to be okay,” Rayla started to say.
That was about the dumbest thing anyone could possibly say, Ezran thought. Nothing was ever going to be okay again.
Just the moment Ezran fully reverts to being a small kid again, when he stops caring that he is acting like a child because he is a child because he is mad because its all hitting him at once and it isn’t fair.
I want to see how he takes it all
#jelly tarts#the dragon prince#tdp ezran#my baby i worry for you so much#soren was right if you spend all your time doing adult stuff you’ll grow up weird! like your brother and rayla!#the tragedy of a child king#i do think in the end ezran will be able to accept Runaan but he has to feel some kind of way about it#with everything piled ontop of it too#kind of like when you have a shitty day and your belt loop catches on a door hanger and suddenly you gotta burn your whole house to the#ground ya know?#and how often being a child is framed as being a negative trait to Ezran how he is mocked as a child#s7 let ezran be a kid#like actually a kid#not making jokes with his two adult caretakers#i want ezran aanya and elis to be friends and do kid stuff#Elis grab this king and queen and make them play tag with you#once again does this make sense or am i delirious

#ronal gave her a taste of her own medicine lol#I know she's got trauma and all but she literally watched Spider grow up from an infant exposed to nothing but the Na'vi way#and she's still convinced he'll turn out like Quaritch#i'd get it if she was wary of unknown humans but this is your weird kids' ONLY friend before they move to the reef#she doesn't have to LOVE him but at the very least she needs to respect that her kids love him and let them be#and not try to ban them from seeing each other#or try to jump him cause ma'am you had no reason to do all that to a child 😭#and all while Mr Jacob “I helped Quaritch plan Hometree 9/11” Sully gets completely forgiven#I NEED Avatar 3 already cause I need to know how Neytiri and Spider's relationship will be resolved#cyren myadd draws#avatar#avatar the way of water#avatar the way of traumatizing spider#avatar 3#neytiri sully#neytiri

obsessed with how marc's performance of celebrity has this kind of forced im normal im regular sheen to it sometimes that comes off as deeply vulnerable and trying too hard at the same time. his documentary where he tells everybody hes normal no really (conditions of normal: having family members and emotions) and then every other person interviewed is like hes an asshole hes insane hes the next virgin mary hes maybe icarus hes a wizard hes a workaholic and i dont know he does x y and z because it should be IMPOSSIBLE. like hes often balancing some degree of a lie AND often some of the most intensely intimate images ive ever seen come from a celebrity. literally inviting a camera crew to film him waking up from anesthesia. balancing "normalcy" with clear alien status as recognized by his peers. AND he'll drop ass to britney if given half a chance
#points at him. taylor swift.#meanwhile vale's modern performance of celebrity maxxes out at waving at cameras once and giving mild little ranch video talks#hard cut to marc it his tiny underwear on a massage table getting WORKED. or publicly crying. or showing us his BONES.#which vale would never ever do...#like its more effortless i guess. whereas marc puts almost TOO much effort into it despite his clear pr talent and charisma#and is much more concerned with being understood as Not The Villain. something i think vale is much more assured of#motogp#rotating his weird lil ass. shy too serious kid who grows up w try-hard social skills#and then a people pleaser complex made fraught by child prodigy status/sepang/his general predisposition of fucking people over riding#while still managing to come off mostly charming. but hes sweating. vale comma meanwhile blessed by some sort of communication god:

I have a lot of thoughts about ONK right now but the main one is how much I fucking LOVE Miyako. Her character development going from “I’m going to reveal the truth about these twins to the public so I can get tons of money” to “I love these kids as if they were my own and I know I can’t ever replace their mother but I will be here for them always” makes me want to fucking cry. She really girlbossed it up with Strawberry Productions too. I’d do anything for her
#SHE'S SO GOOD!!!#I know she's more in the background but you can literally SEE her growing attached to the kids#And to Ai#It started out as a stupid babysitting job for her she didn't want but. They grew on her#And since she had to care for them so often she started to think of them as her own kids...#EVEN WITH THE WEIRD 'DIVINE' THING GOING ON TOO#AND AND AND. The fact that she said she has no intentions of replacing Ai as their mom#And that they don't HAVE to think of her as their mom. She just wants to be THERE for them#SHUT UP UGUHGHGHHHH#Oshi no Ko#ONK#Oshi no Ko spoilers#ONK spoilers#Shima speaks

this kids got issues
#I wish the body horror weird plant shit was played up more especially when vash and knives were kids#I always interpreted the wings representing strong powerful uncontrollable emotion and the wings being a biological “defense” response#with any strong emotion positive or negative#and knives has a horrible time controlling his emotions and everything he feels is explosive (bpd lol)#while vash can control and hide his emotions much better and rarely ever gets wings unless hes really fucked up#and knives would grow to wear his wings (his unstability) with pride as an attempt to take back the power always feeling like the#broken version of vash who was easier for rem to love#RANDOM ass rant but those were my thoughts abt this#trigun#rem saverem#my art#millions knives#millions knives fanart#also rem being dissmisive AS USUAL !#love herrr#knives is not the favorite child

Sometimes I see the way certain people in a fandom treat a ‘tough love but well meaning and trying his best in the only way he knows how’ Dad and I can only think “You have a horrid relationship with your father, don’t you? 🫵👁️👁️”
#self projection is a very real thing and most of the time it’s silly fun but sometimes your blowing up a character when you really-#should be blowing up your father; I’m just saying.#the amount of times I’ve seen a dad who doesn’t understand his kid and unintentionally hurts them but grows to try and understand them but-#then the fandom wants that guy DEAD is ASTRONOMICAL.#this was spurred on from the fact I was thinking about Norman’s Dad in Paranorman. Yeah he’s tough love but the movie says it outright;#the reason he acted like that is because he’s scared for Norman. he doesn’t understand him and when people don’t understand something they-#get scared and mad. and even though he was shown to get upset note that he NEVER hurt Norman and buys him weird zombie/horror stuff because-#despite not understanding him and wishing he was ‘normal’ he still loves him! and he accepts his weirdness by the end of the movie in his-#own weird emotionally stunted way!#ignore this entire rant I just have so many emotions about dads who don’t understand but try their best regardless OUGH#prince rambles in this chilies tonight#fandom

Noticing that TV and film will often have a character either have had an abortion in the past that isn't showcased on screen (and just used as part of the character's ~fucked up and twisted backstory~) OR contemplate getting an abortion in the present day but not to through with it. Just once I want to see someone delete that fetus within the events of the plot and not be like. Extremely majorly punished for it and/or be in the wrong
#ramblings of a lunatic#was watching a tv show w the fam recently and it's the 2nd series of a show that was clearly written with only 1 in mind#so in the 2nd season a character gets pregnant (bc ofc) and contemplates getting an abortion#only to do the whole 'omg she thinks she's lost the baby and realizes she wanted to keep it all along!'#which like. fine and valid and happens to ppl irl I'm sure#but like. this season doesn't establish if she wanted kids prior or if she has a stable job (she was struggling career wise-#-last season and the timeskip this season doesn't go into it)#AND has this fucking bizarre scene w/ her boyfriend (whos mostly been irrelevant and occasionally annoying up til now)#where he says it's 'our pregnancy' that she was going to terminate and when she (rightfully) bites back-#-saying 'you mean MY pregnancy?!' he just. storms off and deflects#which would be one thing but we have to wrap up the main plot so she just apologizes to him (for other plot stuff)#and we're never given any indication that his opinion has changed and they're just happily parenting at the end of the season#which just. left a bad taste in my mouth#like I KNOW i know not every bad thing said on screen needs a big blinking arrow that points out that it's Bad and Wrong#but idk how I'm supposed to feel in a series that has painted itself as explicitly feminist up til this point#presents the outcome of a woman dating and bearing a child for a man w seemingly zero respect for her bodily autonomy as happily ever after#w no follow up#like the whole series is centered on a group of sisters and this pregnancy story happened to the youngest one#who's always seen as needing to 'grow up' in season 1. so assuming this is meant to be building off that arc it's so WEIRD still#bc yes being a parent is an opportunity for many ppl to mature emotionally but that's not really something the character-#-reflects on all season. it's more abt her burying her past relationship w a season 1 guy (who was infinitely more interesting than new guy)#-than anything to do with that#AND EVEN IF IT WAS the notion of pregnancy as a punishment/reckoning meant to make her grow up or take responsibility-#-which is secretly a blessing in disguise i. god the show fell apart so hard here for me#and my mom and sister were just cooing over the baby at the end and i didn't speak up bc i didn't want to be a bitch#and in all fairness I'm probably being a tad uncharitable in this post but like. don't piss me OFF man#anyway. normalise abortion storylines that aren't backstory fodder and aren't fakeouts for baby plots. please

lmao if you're a mourn watch (and possibly other urban-ish based backgrounds too I'm not sure?) mage, when you get the scene with strife coming to pick up emmrich for their date (bless) and he says that 'the thing about your friend is that for a city mage, he isn't afraid to play in the mud' thing, rook puts up the faux big wounded eyes and protests 'hey, I'm a city mage! 🥺'. (to which strife says 'well we can't all be perfect' and stone cold walks away. king. have fun out there with the lightning bugs and your lanky fancylad I've seen his fully unleashed rizz in action and you're a lucky guy <3<3<3)
#who the companions decide to go to for romantic advice amongst each other is unhinged and hilarious and I love every single one of them#you know lucanis personally and have seen his game unfold and decided this is the guy who'll know just what to do. amazing!#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#emmrich x strife#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#strife dragon age#emmrich volkarin#rye making careful notes: lucanis NOT into bejeweled skulls. struck from list of ideas for wintersend presents#focus in on 'wyvern - knife - coffee - cooking' nexus of interests and I think we'll be good. maybe a book#(he had been considering presenting him with zara's skull specifically but decided to err on the side of caution after this#and not go for it. one cannot always trust one's own kneejerk romantic instinct when one grows up in a crypt around a bunch#of cheery academic goths. rye may keep baron van markham on his mantelpiece but the instinct is apparently not universal)#communication is important in a relationship! ask your significant other if he wants preserved body parts of his targets around the house#skull statues around his estate not conclusive enough evidence to work from that was probably put there before he was born#and he's from a long line of different kind of edgelords to your brand. cross cultural dating holds many hazards#but nothing that cannot be navigated by honesty and good communication and the power of love#rye is not afraid to play in the mud as such but he IS very bad at it. he grew up doing necropolis crypt baby parkour#out in the wilds davrin is frequently still shaking his head at how this weird indoor kid is still alive and saving him from scrapes#varric and rye handshake meme 'why is the outdoors. like this tho'
