#*glares at his parents*

[batcavescolony]

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

It's something I wondered too with the Blue Birthday chapter.

But hear me out. While we know that her father forgot her birthday (being busy with the heist and stuff, shame on you Ginzo), we don't actually know if Midoriko forgot. There is a possibility that Midoriko wished her a happy birthday through her phone (either through text or phone call) in between and maybe either telling her that she's going to be home super late or not being able to make it, or even booking another day to celebrate with her. We never saw Aoko's whole day and only segments of her birthday after all (during school, Aoko celebrating with her friends, then her waiting for Kaito). So maybe if Aoko told her beforehand that she was going to celebrate with her friends, that Midoriko decides to celebrate it another day with her. Her schedule is already atrocious as it is and if there is an important case on that day somehow, then Aoko would definitely convince her to focus on that rather than her birthday. Heck maybe it was Midoriko that also bought the cake or gave money for her to order for her party.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not exactly defending Midoriko because I completely agree with Midoriko's appearance. It's very clear that Gosho shoehorned in and definitely lowkey ruined how the Nakamori household has been portray so far.. However, there are tons of possibilities with this chapter in particular if we were to include Midoriko in the equation and unless we go through Aoko's phone, we wouldn't exactly know if she forgot like Ginzo did. Nonetheless, I'm sure (or at least really hope) that Midoriko made it up to her at the end by celebrating the next day (or whenever she can) and have Ginzo make it up to her (after he realizes his mistake). At least, I'm sure Kaito would have helped these parents remember her birthday if they didn't. Let's not put more sins on these parents than they already have, courtesy of Gosho :)

As much as I enjoyed Midoriko in the newest chapters of MK I feel like her existence kinda alters the dynamic of Aoko’s home life in a pretty negative way. Before her introduction Aoko and Inspector Nakamori had a very single parent household vibe which justified Aoko’s loneliness and anger towards Kaito Kid as her dad, while well meaning for the most part, was constantly absorbed in his job.

With Midoriko it changes that dynamic from a single dad getting absorbed in work but working to support his daughter to just two work obsessed parents and their neglected child. It’s most noticeable when you reread the series and get to the Blue Birthday chapter with the context of Midoriko’s existence.

This is already one of Nakamori’s worst parenting moments in my opinion and now knowing BOTH of Aoko’s parents forgot her birthday is just so sad. It’s even worse when you consider that Midoriko was able to take time off for her own birthday but forgot her daughters?? Also how does she not know anything about Kaito Kid when in the last chapter of the manga Kaito Kid was suspected of kidnapping her daughter??? Did no one call her and tell her that her daughter was missing???

I wouldn’t mind these changes if they were used to go deeper into Kaito and Aoko’s friendship and how they’ve gotten closer from their shared experiences with absent parents (and then it could play into how Kaito’s more recent absences due to Kaito Kid stuff are affecting Aoko since he was her support when it came to loneliness) but I know that’s not the direction they’re going with this.

It’s also just kinda wild how Gosho ruined both MK parents in the span of a few months.

I think we should stop giving Lance family problems and instead give everyone else family problems and then drag him into all of them as universe's most unpaid and unqualified therapist. As god intended

I need Billy to get Clark Kent-ed in a fic and sent to cover a Wayne gala

Billy and Bruce meet, names are exchanged, and Bruce worries if this kid is doing okay and if there’s a father position open. Billy is there for some Wayne-Sivana partnership with Magnificus, asking a lot of well informed questions and acting like a little cherub.

Them bad guys break in, one has a gun to Billy’s head and Billy, in true street kid fashion and with the experience from his last 57 kidnapping attempts; bites the hand over his mouth, throws the guy whose twice his size over himself and twists his arm, and dismantles the gun before Batman swoops in and saves the rest of the day.

Batman checks on him, asking if he’s okay, and Billy drops the good kid act and straight up tells him to piss off because he’s not getting adopted by a furry man-child who lives a state away from his hometown

Any Robin or sidekick that was there just cheers the kid on from the roof top screaming “DODGED THAT BULLET!” after having spent the whole gala trying to keep them apart before Bruce could bust out the adoption papers

I started thinking about what type of holidays Alderaan would have (if one wants to write a christmas/yule type of fic) and my favorite thought was them having a winter holiday that is very reminiscent of Icelandic christmas/yule.

I would love to say that this decisions was for aesthetic reasons or for some other deeper thought, but let's be real, my only reason for this decision was that I thought it would be really funny for Fox to experience the whole thing. Like this man is having an entirely normal day and then Bail just out of nowhere tells him that oh, by the way, we need to put a pair of shoes out on the window for the kids, because Spoonlicker is coming down from the mountain tonight. And Fox is just. the what now is coming?

This is my second Rook! I used the same face because I loved it but this Rook is mostly purple Rook until it’s really serious.

His name is Matteo De Riva and he’s an Antivan Crow. He was found as a child by the De Riva House and was raised by Viago. He’s like a son to Viago and despite being a constant source of frustration to Viago, he cares about him.

He’s romancing Lucanis again because I love him and Spite and the three of them are very happy together.

[ethan-acfan]

Imagine Bill mentions something that happened a few days ago, and Desmond is like, "Huh? Yeah, I don't remember that." And Bill is like "son, it was literally 2 days ago, how do you not remember this?" And desmond just glares at him like "okay, fuck you and your perfectly intact memory, you can both go to hell."

[sincerely-sofie]

Thinking about the Dark Crater confrontation in the Dugtrio Day AU... It would happen much sooner because unlike Twig, Echo would be analytical enough to see through "Cresselia" and the solution she proposes, and Darkrai would be forced to reveal his true identity as a result.

Pinna would struggle through the fire-type centric dungeon leading up to it, being a treecko who also is surprisingly weak for the point in the plot that they are, and the second they get to him Echo is garroting Darkrai on the spot for putting her friend through this.

He doesn't even get to monologue or pull the nightmare shtick. They enter the boss room and she wordlessly strangles him with all four ribbons as well as her paws while staring him in the eyes as she does it.

[katierosefun]

negan and maggie’s relationship is so. so fuckign fascinating to me. like. like…imagine teaming up with someone (repeatedly) who killed the love of your life and was also either directly or indirectly responsible for the death of your friends. imagine wanting nothing more than wanting to kill this person and feeling bitter and angry because your friends refuse to kill this person. you are so anguished over it that you leave with your son (whose father was murdered by this person), and then you come back, and all your friends seem to begrudgingly trust (or at least coexist) with this awful person. and this person is now trying to help you. he saves your life multiple times and also saves your son, the last living reminder of your murdered love. this person is asking to become the monster so you don’t have to. this person tells you that you need to come back. this person understands that you would kill him, and he might even let you. he lets you do the closest thing to killing him instead—he lets you turn him in, knife to his throat, and you’re leaving him, and your son won’t talk to you, and you come to the sudden realization that perhaps you need to go back for this monster. what the hell kind of dynamic is this

Weird holiday money giving things

I have now reached the age (or maybe my parents have reached the age) where my parents have started give me a large check for Christmas.

I also went to my bfs family’s house for Christmas this too and his family also gave me a large check for Christmas. (Which is bonkers but very very nice). (And I peeked and saw that it was the same as my bfs check)(they gave one to all of their children plus son in law)

But my parents only gave me a check and not my bf and instead of giving it out with presents they did it after he had gone home. (They did the same with my brother, saying they just didn’t want to put it under the tree.

Which again is fine, but now I feel weird that I have received two parent checks this Christmas and my bf only one. Like it doesn’t feel balanced or fair somehow and like I should fix it somehow. Like do I mention to my mom that his family also gave me a large check? (The checks are the same amount for whatever that’s worth). I like don’t want to pressure my parents into giving more than maybe they would want or think they should but also maybe she would want to know? Idk.

My parents also have not been giving a separate check to my brothers girlfriend and she has been coming to family Christmas for years. But they do give him more. But also he does not have an income and they have been giving him checks for holidays for longer. (Which to be clear is not a problem just additional reasons for his check to be larger that is not just it being for two people, and it wasn’t it double).

I could also just not say anything and just let it be, which seems fine but also weirdly guilty.

I also don’t know how bad my mom would feel finding out later. She often checks with me with how much my aunt and uncle gave us for Christmas to give my cousin the same

[tommygotwrittenoff]

buck and eddie would be the most insane PTA moms ever, actually. because eddie loves his son and being a bitch and buck loves bossing people around with a clipboard and being involved.

Vittoria is a dove. She often has visions that predict something good happening to her or those around her. She is known as the swindler of the family. By the age of three she learned Gomez would do anything for her, and thats how she ended up with a designer wardrobe for Christmas. She learned the “Enid Face” from Leo, which is a very secret pout that Wednesday cannot refuse. Leo only did this once in his life, he finds it demeaning to stoop to begging. She is a very talented pick pocketer, it seems to come naturally to her to find and sniff out a credit card with the highest limit as Gomez would come to find out. He’s always amused though.

Vittoria loves Disney movies, she will never grow out of it. Tangled is her favorite and she often asks Wednesday to style her hair in one long braid like Rapunzel in the movies.

Naenia is a raven, and her visions are physically exhausting. They’re usually of something dangerous or bad happening, which is why she’s the braincell. Often times she’ll have a vision and save Vittoria or Leonidas from themselves. Her visions cause her physical pain like headaches and are extremely vivid, often times she needs to rest afterwards somewhere quiet. Usually her family will tend to her while she’s recovering.

Naenia moves uncannily quietly, she has a habit of just popping up behind people, even as a toddler. She’d crawl around silently and scare Enid to death by just appearing somewhere she hadn’t been before.

As Naenia grows up she uses sign language to communicate with people outside of family, she finds it much easier than speaking and quicker than writing. She learned from Thing, and her siblings were quick to follow along because helping Naenia find more ways to communicate that she’s comfortable with is important to them. She’s comfortable around her family, but not other people. She’s not a fan of people. Mostly animals. She’d save a spider over a person.

When the girls first went to school, they were mostly excited to see Leonidas, they would always wait for him to come home from school so they could play with him. They would come with Wednesday to pick him up from the bus stop as often as they could. Vittoria is especially excited to make friends and Naenia is excited for the library.

Naenia is nervous about the loud crowds so Leonidas walks them to class (not like he wouldn’t do that anyway) on their first day. They soon find out everyone is afraid if Leonidas (he has a bit of a reputation, nothing that can be legally proven but a reputation) and that makes it easier for Naenia to handle so many people, since the whole hall will clear not to touch Leonidas. So, Leonidas walks them to class every day. He calls them blood sucking parasites while silently daring anyone to come within six feet of them.

Compared to the twins, who barely scrape past three feet, Leonidas grows rapidly. He is the tallest kid in his grade at 5’3. He sort of looks like a giant following them around the halls scowling at everyone.

Vittoria loves school, she makes friends very easily and becomes very popular within the school. Mostly because she rides in a limo and brings candy for everyone in her class, Vittoria likes spending money on others too. Sharing wealth with people is something Gomez taught her, so she often uses her allowance (and her pout) to get things for her class. She’s the reason the school’s playground got upgraded (she called Gomez at three am). She traded Morticia’s spot as favorite grandparent. Even though she’s one of the youngest kids, she’s still extremely popular. She talks to everyone, is very friendly to everyone, and loves participating in class. She struggles with the academic portion, Vittoria doesn’t really enjoy math or writing or history. She likes drawing and gossiping, and pretending to act out scenes of Tangled where she duels kids with frying pans. Often, Naenia will steer her back to working when she gets distracted being chatty or social.

Naenia doesn’t make friends quite as easily as her twin, her limited speaking is a factor but Naenia had never been a social person outside of her family regardless. Aside from the loud noises, the memes she doesn’t understand, and the cafeteria food, Naenia loves learning and school is something she excels in at an early age. She especially likes that her teacher lets her go to the library if shes feeling overwhelmed, and even lets Vittoria go. She usually stays close to Vittoria and by proxy, makes friends because of her sister. Most people are nice to her because of Vittoria, but she’s fine with that because it means she doesn’t have to explain herself to anyone. The other kids are usually very nice to her though, some even try to learn sign language and she held little sessions after school with Vittoria. It’s one of few times she didn’t want to leave a social setting after an hour.

Because of her crippling side effects of her visions, Naenia wears gloves everywhere outside to refrain from touching something directly. She also does not touch people or like people touching her. If she has visions in school, Wednesday comes to pick her up without fail.

Vittoria: This is my twin Nia! She likes to be called Naenia, she doesn’t talk much but she writes super spooky stories. Okay she doesn’t like a lot of people crowding her so let her read, shoo! Lets go play ninjas, warlocks, and princesses!

Leonidas is fairly infamous in the school for getting expelled from four others, there are plenty of rumors about it and despite being outwardly inviting, Leonidas is not friendly to most. Most of the rumors floating around are exaggerated, but he doesn’t correct them. After getting into one altercation with a boy who tried to touch him and ending up suspended for punching him as hard as he could, most people don’t speak to Leonidas and avoid directly touching him. He finds school to be a waste of his time, and hard to sit through. Though he gets good grades, Leonidas will often finish work early and get bored. Sitting still is not his strong suit, and especially in school it leads to trouble. His patience starts with Naenia and ends with Vittoria, so he has trouble getting along with other students. People outside of his family often annoy him.

Vittoria teases him because he “doesn’t know how to make friends”.

Leonidas does eventually make one friend, a human boy he defends from bullies named Adisa. Leonidas just thought they were loud and now this boy with a tuba too big for him sits next to him and talks to him about things he doesn’t understand every time they have music, or lunch, or PE. Like “texting” and “sleepovers” and “video games”

Leonidas denies the fact that they’re friends but never tells him to sit somewhere else because “everyone else is a worse option.”

That would be fragging hilarious though if there was a situation where Scourge was a post war Megop kid but Optimus was the carrier because there's just this little shit that hates his ass and nobody knows why, and it's just like:

Optimus: "Scourge is being difficult today, again."

Starscream: "Whatever did you do to make that one hate you so much?"

Optimus: "I pushed him out of my valve and that was apparently a mortal sin in his optics."

Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5

Reader who gets pregnant off of a one night stand with some soldier during armed forces day, showing your appreciation for his service a little too well.

You had a support system, friends who joked about you having way too much fun, hence your predicament, others already offering to buy things for the baby and your parents who couldn't be happier to meet their grandchild.

But what about the father?

Well, it's not exactly like you could track him down. Fuck, you didn't even know the man's name, only how he made you feel, his filthy words strumming in your ear, big hands tight around your waist, hips slamming away in a desperate chase.

Let's forget how you leg-locked him.

When your daughter was born, everything changed, and time slowed down. She was a quiet baby, barely crying or having any outbursts like a normal child would but outspoken in her own little way. That chunky thing came out of the womb with a glare. Brown eyes staring down anyone and everyone but you.

That's something she definitely got from her father. You vividly remember how his umber eyes watching you from across the bar. He was like an eagle waiting for the perfect moment to strike his prey. A perfect soldier.

So, you named your daughter Adira in memory of his strength. That's one thing he could have.

Adira loved to be by your side. Her chubby cheeks pressed into the nook of your neck, holding you close with strength of a thousand babies. Your clingy little thing was a koala, always by her mommy's side, never straying far no matter how curious she got. When she learned to walk, her favorite thing became to hug your leg, especially while in stores. She hated people, wearing a tiny scowl whenever customers passed by tucking herself closer to you.

Maybe it was a good thing her father wasn't around. Having to compete for her first words would've been a bloodbath.

You spent two years in bliss. The fact that you were a single mother an afterthought to raising what you considered a blessing.

With Adira's second Christmas coming up, you wanted to do something special. She loved trains and found them absolutely amusing, often mimicking the honk as she ran around your apartment. Thankfully, there was a train ride for kids around the park during this time of year.

Here, you stood in line, bundled up to the nines. Big poofy coat, warm gloves, and fuzzy boots. As the crowd moved, Adira clung close, arms wrapped around your leg, glowering at any passerby with an annoyed look on her rosy cheeks.

That one was new. Maybe something else she got from her father.

The two of you took steps in tow, keeping Adira close and comfortable as the train came into view. Her expression shifted, excitement palpable. "Twain!" She squealed, jumping up and down.

Before you could respond to Adira's childlike joy, a man bumped into you by accident, nearly stumbling over his own feet. He turns to look at you, blue eyes meeting yours, but you were too focused on the weird ass Mohawk on his head.

People wore still those?

"Sorry bout that lass." The man starts to apologize, a Scottish accent lacing his voice.

That breaks your stare, laughing awkwardly to mask your wandering gaze. "Oh no, it's fine. You should be careful. you might slip on ice."

He nods, giving you a kind smile. The Scottish man starts to leave, but the look your kid was giving him sent shivers down his spine.

Little Adira was giving him a fierce stare down from behind your leg before ultimately cutting her eyes at him as if he were merely a nuisance.

"Next in line! Mctavish!"

The man doesn't stay after that. You assume that it was him they were calling with the way he hurried off. Hope he doesn't fall, seemed like a nice guy.

Soap can't help but do a double take when be gets to the front. The little rascal was wearing his Lieutenants face, hawk eyeing anyone who dared got to close. It was like looking in a mirror.

He nudged Gaz, making a gesture to look back without making it obvious. "See the lass and her bairn in line?"

Gaz gives him a raised brow, looking back for a second before turning around. "There's a lot of kids with their mother's, Johnny."

Soap glances back, double checking to make sure you were still in line. “The lass with the wee one—she’s got the same wicked look as Lt. You cannae miss her.”

Gaz rolls his eyes but humors Soap by looking once more, his eyes scanning the crowd until they land on a little girl already mean-mugging him from a distance. He swiftly turns around, blinking in surprise, trying to comprehend what he saw. "Uh..."

Soap only nods in agreement. That was Ghost's face, on a kid no less. He wastes no time, elbowing Roach and getting him to look back as well, leaving the other Sergeant in the same shock as Gaz. "That is not a face a kid should have."

"Agreed." Gaz added, shuddering at the thought.

"Where's the cap?" Soap asks, the train ride no longer feeling like fun now that he’s discovered the jackpot.

"Market place with Lt. for cigs," Gaz knowingly remarked, remembering that Price had run out on their way here.

"Well, let's go show them a Christmas miracle," Soap shot up from his seat all too eagerly.

The sergeants just got their Christmas present.
