the barbie (2023) experience as an afab non binary person is just [reconnecting with your femininity and love for pink bc you couldnt when u were younger bc being too girly will get u made fun of] [feeling guilt bc u dont identify with being a girl but girlhood is so inherently beautiful and magical and no experience is truly like it] [healing the inner child in you by allowing yourself to enjoy dolls and pink and maximalism] [unapologetically letting yourself wear pink and be stereotypically girly in a society where being non binary means you have to be presenting androgynous 24/7] [getting your grown-up heart shattered and then put back together again by your inner child using sparkly glue over and over in the span of two hours] [realizing that no matter what you do you have somewhat experienced girlhood and it shaped you to be the person you are today and you will never get to erase that experience or truly disconnect yourself from it] [appreciating and understanding your mother in a way that you thought wasnt possible without experiecing motherhood]

Jen Tortures Herself With Every Dreamworks Animated Movie Ever: Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken
Tumblr media
So uuuuuhhhhh yeah. I don't know what I was expecting with this movie. Wasn't expecting it to be good, and it wasn't. Nobody is fucking surprised.
Ruby Gillman is, well, a teenage kraken, who lives with her family on land and tries to blend in as a human while being Omg Quirky Relatable Shy Nerd (seriously this movie doesn't have an original bone in its body, we'll get into that more in a bit). She eventually discovers she can turn into a giant kraken and that she comes from kraken royalty. Throw in the breakdown of trust between her and her mother, a new "friendship" she strikes up with a mermaid named Chelsea, and OMG THE PROM IS TOMORROW and you have a whole mess of cliches that didn't come to an end nearly quick enough for me.
Tumblr media
So yeah this plot is... extremely derrivitive, on two very specific Pixar movies in particular. It's like... a weird crossover between Luca (fish people trying to blend in on land) and Turning Red (puberty metaphor, mommy issues, etc) and it does none of what those movies did well anywhere near as close to good as they did. Like this movie tries so hard to be surprising and have twists and turns and like... literally none of those surprises landed. None of the emotions landed. None of the jokes landed. Nothing in this boring ass movie landed.
Tumblr media
The characters are all pretty one-note. Ruby is your traditional nerdy, awkward girl with a crush on a guy who is also just as bland as stale bread. Her family is pretty uninteresting, her mom is... somewhat better, I guess, and I did like her grandma, but she was about the only character I found some level of enjoyment out of. We also have Chelsea, who big surprise, is our twist villain, as if I didn't see that coming from the second I saw her show up on screen. The way she so easily manipulates and plays Ruby is just... god it makes you wannt scream "DON'T TRUST HER YOU DIPSHIT" the entire time, like girl, I get you're an anxious 15 year old but you should know better jfc.
Tumblr media
This movie tries to have lore and be epic, but like... idk it just isn't. The climactic fight scene at the end was so slow-paced and dull, there wasn't really anything about it at all, which for what's essentially a giant kaiju fight, is a damn shame. The jokes were honestly non-existant, and the script itself is already hella dated with so much social media references and modern teen lingo (bestie, bae, etc) despite only coming out last year.
Tumblr media
It also doesn't help that, at least in my opinion, this movie is ugly. Like the animation itself is fine, but these goddamn character designs, christ I think they are some of the WORST to ever come out of a Dreamworks movie. The humans all have weird proportions that don't make sense, the krakens don't look like krakens at all and instead look like... humans with long tentacles, which is weird, and the set design... was admittedly ok to look at, but that's about it. Pair that with an utterly forgettable, but servicable score and plenty of equally forgettable pop songs and there's just not much going on here.
Tumblr media
I think, at the end of the day, Ruby Gillman is just... lame. Like the concept itself... isn't awful, but the execution, man, they just floundered (get it, fish) on all fronts here. No wonder this thing tanked at the box office. I wouldn't have gone to see it either.
Overall Rating: 4/10
Verdict: Harpoon these lame-ass krakens

Alright, I watched the first lord of the rings film for the first time in my life a couple weeks ago, here are some highlights. Tw for: spoilers for the first LOTR movie (Fellowship of the ring), discussions of: violence, drugs, swearing, and a lot of gay pining, also the use of the phrase “piss river” probably more often than is necessary
Elves: 👀👀👀👀👀
Oh dwarves also: 👀👀👀👀👀👀
Sounds like Sauron had daddy issues, or mommy issues
You might not feel thin if you had more than cake, jam, wine, and moldy cheese in your house
OH MY GOD ARE THEY DOUNT DRUGS
Ooooo I love the fireworks
Why does wizard man get all the history books and papers
How are the children supposed to learn not to repeat the past and die like a little bitch in a piss river if they can’t access the knowledge
At least fucking Frodo makes Gandalf tea god damn
Me @ the characters: HOLD HANDS
Isn’t this other wizard bitch evil. I feel like I remember that he’s evil and a backstabber.
Is there a dragon in these ones or do I gotta wait for hobbit
Ooooo scary glass orb
That’s what I thought you fucking bitch. Fuck you. Close your doors bitch that doesn’t mean you can’t get that fucking staff shoved up your ass. Shove that white orb down your fucking throat till you choke.
You spin me right round baby like a record baby right round round round
CORN. CROMCH. CROMCH THE CORN. ITS READY TO BE CROMCHED.
Oh my god the silly little video game is realistic to the movie? You do get chased around in a god damn corn field?
Bitches y’all are afraid of worms? (Friend: you’re afraid of lady bugs). Yeah but I don’t spend my 110 fucking years of life lolligagging with no shoes on through fields of ladybugs.
They really gave these bitches 0 weapons
Because a horse couldn’t jump 5 fucking feet into the river
Lotr horses weak compared to skyrims. Can’t even fly. 0/10.
These hobbits are so fucking stupid. Real white woman in a horror film vibes.
Whenever the chanting starts I can only think “Asmodeus, Satanus, Lucifer”
Have these bitches never heard of coal
Oh YUCK. DISGUSTING BIRTHING RITUAL. COVERED IN EARTH UTERUS. SLIMY.
[insert the sorry, mommy bit here]
There’s so many handsome men with long hair oh my god
“Still sharp” no shit Sherlock
Also the king of the elves is not daddy material
The elves’ city reminds me of fuckin markarth
Aragorn, that’s his name. Anyway his little smirk? Fantastic.
I’d like to have all their weapons, preferably at once. Take this as you will.
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST BILBO WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT
Off we go, walking. Can’t wait till there’s giant spiders. Pretty scenery though. (Note: I describe all of the LOTR and Hobbit films as films where they walk in circles and do nothing but fight giant spiders)
Tbh I only trust Aragorn here. If shit happens with him later I will be devastated.
Ah yes two old men fighting through magical chants 100% the way to go
Have they really not gotten Frodo a pair of shoes yet Jesus Christ
The pony’s name is fucking Bill??? Everyone else has bomb ass names and the pony is Bill????
Sorry, Gimli, oh tentacles??? 👀. Anyway rip to your family. OH KRACKEN? 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
“I have no memory of this place” me constantly, Gandalf, join the club
Oh that is a huge book
Big oof @ the clanking good job other hobbit
Cave troll: ugly. Not daddy material. Also did they use donkey noises for it?
Rest in piss to Frodo, at least you didn’t die in a piss river like that other bitch
All these men flinging and catching and holding each other while crossing a gap is pretty gay, ngl
Oh dragon? Dragonlike? Whip? Oh fuckin rip Gandalf.
Oh woods time? Is it spider time soon? OH MORE ELVES???
Oh pretty tree elf architecture I approve
Men? Crying at the beauty of a woman? Couldn’t be me.
Oh having a panic attack bc of voices in your head? Me too, dude
Yeah this elf woman? Bad vibes. Creepy.
Why is this one still covered in goopy earth placenta. Give this bitch a bath he has to smell horrible.
Okay how the fuck does the math work out if the human king was 3000 years ago, his son took the ring, died in piss river, gollum had it for 500 years, then Bilbo had it for however long, and Aragorn is the son of the second king?
Auburn hair bitch (Boromir) back the fuck off.
This is a shitty fucking plan sending Frodo by himself.
He go toot toot
Also I wanna run through a forest
Oh that bitch dead, yeet
Do arrows really go that far into someone?
Oh pulling the sword into yourself? Ngl… 👀
Anyway rest in piss to those we’ve lost
If Sam dies by drowning I swear to fuck
Honestly Sam is an OG friend, the only good one
Oh boat burial for Mr. I Thought I Could Have The Ring. He also deserves piss river, so good.

Cottagecore Family Life
A/N: I really wanted to do this headcanon lol
I'll continue living in this life of delusion don't @ me
~~~
Best place for this will be Switzerland like cottagecore let's go! (also bcs of this LOL LIKE THE BIO IS LITERALLY JUST 😂😂😂)
The nature around them is just filled with pretty flowers and butterflies could be seen especially in mornings and birds love singing at their place
Eren and Mikasa just looking after their child, especially Mikasa.
Also they'd probably have 2-5 children and they'll be so pretty and cute 🥺🥺🥺
Their children's energy are basically Eren and Mikasa's staminas combined (ultimate energy here)
Eren would be chasing the ones running and oh boy.
An unattended child has found an axe—
Mikasa walks right on the spot and sees their child about to get a hold of it so she immediately runs to them (luckily the baby is asleep inside the room she came from)
She'll scold the child in a gentle but stern manner be like, "No touching your dad's tools, understand?"
The child would just nod while looking down.
Eren joins in the scene with their other little one and oop—
His eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he saw what's going on (especially that they're near the axe)
Mikasa looks at Eren—sighing and said, "You should keep your tools somewhere where they can't see or touch them."
He'd nod slowly, "Right. I forgot about the axe here..."
He then puts down their little one and it immediately runs and hugs Mikasa's waist.
During bedtime, they love watching their parents dance to a music box (given by Annie as a gift for Mikasa when she heard the news she was pregnant)
Sometimes they'd sing a lullaby in duet and their children would slowly fall asleep (JUST IMAGINE THEM SINGING REMEMBER ME FROM THAT COCO DISNEY MOVIE OK?)
But sometimes Mikasa's on her own making the children fall asleep (when she forced Eren to take a rest lol)
Like imagine her singing the chorus part of "safe and sound" by Taylor Swift 🥺🥺🥺
Everytime they get nightmares they'd run to their parents' room and Mikasa will be the one to get up and open the door.
She'd be like, "Why up so late in the night—wait, why are you crying?"
Then the child explains and Mikasa just picks the smol child up and goes to the couch in the room with books at the table beside it.
She'd then read her a funny story and then the kid/s would just laugh.
Eren's a "deep" sleeper sooo....
Mikasa then sings the lullaby she'd sing when she's on her own to make the children sleep.
The child falls asleep and Mikasa acknowledges this and carries them back to the kids' room and settles them in their bed.
Mikasa would finally go back to bed—thinking Eren's still asleep.
But then Eren's like, "You're voice sounds like an angel's."
She'd find herself smacking a pillow at him and he just chuckles.
Mikasa would now lay down and Eren turns around from his position and cuddles her.
~~~
Their children are always curious.
They'd go outside and play, pick some flowers and make flower crowns, or read some books (most were sent by Armin), run around to catch butterflies, and more.
As they grew up, the girls would always be with Mikasa if they want, and the boys would stick with Eren (it actually depends on whether they're a daddy's or mommy's girl/boy)
Overall, their children would learn how to cook, do embroidery, chop wood, doing custom house decorations, and more.
During birthdays, they'd be visited by their uncles and aunts along with their little ones—if they have (you know who they are 😂😂😂)
The children would receive so many gifts—heck, they'd all be spoiled by them especially by Zeke (best uncle award)
They'd also play with the others' children (like they'd always play tag outside while the parents are indoors having a chat 🥺👉👈)
Their teenage years were quite more chaotic than their childhood (curse of puberty)
At random times, they'd argue to each other and Mikasa will just look at Eren and be like, "You're turn to break it up."
Eren would just sigh and try to break the bicker up and Mikasa would just stand by the door and watch.
He'll approach them and be like, "What are you fighting about?"
The bickering two would look at him and start pointing at each other and start shouting then glaring at each other—debating again.
Poor Eren gotta deal with this and Mikasa couldn't help but snicker at her spot.
Personality-wise they got the temperamental attitude from Eren while the calm demeanor from Mikasa.
Eren would look at the door and see Mikasa standing and giving her an 'um, help?' look.
Mikasa deciding to be mean, smirks and leaves to go to the kitchen and cook.
Eren felt "betrayed" because of her actions (your guy gotta deal with 2 hot headed teens in a phase arguing for some reason)
But Eren managed to calm them down.
They're all calm and collected, the 2 are no longer screaming and Eren began asking questions.
Mikasa decides to take a peek inside to see what's going on now
Eren would be like, "Ok, what's the real matter why your fighting? Don't yell, I'm asking you calmly."
They'd then start talking about who's wrong and all, and giving a few more minutes, they finally got along.
Eren internally was like, 'Fucking finally.'
Mikasa, seeing this, can't help but smile so she finally decided to come inside then looked at their teens and was like, "Glad you got along."
Eren just looked at her—not even bothering to ask why later since she looks happy about it.
Ooooh of course, their reactions when Eren starts snaking his arms around Mikasa's waist and just resting his head on her shoulder in front of the kids.
When they were young, they were just giggling.
But now, oh god it's so funny (not really lol)
They're literally like "👁👄👁 uhm you're gonna flirt in front of us?"
The two would just look at each other and laugh knowing how much they've grown.
In times of comforting children when it comes to love issues.
Best love expert award goes to...
Lol sorry it's Zeke.
Sometimes Zeke visits and if he sees one of them looking sad or something, assuming it's about love and all, he'd go up to them and be like, "You know, there's a quote that says; there's many more fish in the sea."
The teen would look at him surprised he knew and be like, "Yeah..."
And then there goes all things about love to Zeke.
If uncle Zeke ain't around, Mikasa would be the one dealing the problem.
You wonder for Eren? Pfft- he'd always be like, "Uhh... Ask your mom I guess..." (Please don't laugh at Eren 😂😂😂)
But in terms of practical things, Eren's the best at it.
They also taught their children self-defense so when they need it, they can use it.
In terms of their girls entering a relationship with a guy...
Overprotective dad mode on for Eren and be like, "Who's the guy? I need to talk to him."
Mikasa would just smile and instead, congratulate them and give advices.
Since Eren told their girl to bring her "boyfriend" he'd have an intimidating aura and the guy is just scared shitless (poor dude)
But in the end, Eren would just sigh and be like, "Just... don't hurt her, ok?"
To be honest, Mikasa is the one more relieved than their girl 😂😂😂
But living a peaceful life, they watched their kids grow into who they are and damn they're the prettiest beings ever (their genes are just ✨✨✨)
And when they get old, their children would always make time to visit them and at least take care of them.
Especially when it's their birthdays, they'd ALL come back at the home where they were raised with love and care 😭😭😭
It's the fact their children just cares for them even if they had their own lives/families.
To make me even cry more, Eren and Mikasa would be playing with their grandkids while their grown up child is just making some meal for all of them. (Old and gray EM with their grandkids, anyone?)
~~~
A/N: FINALLY!!!
Ok ngl this looks like the most decent headcanon I've ever made 😭😭😭
And fun fact: I cried while making this
AND I STILL AM 😭😭😭

Things I Want Changed in Fate S02
Better Costumes
Like, seriously, wth happened there? They were dressed awfully, and that's not news. The costumes were like straight out of a 90's teens movies, it was so obvious there was an adult trying do find out what teens used and maybe saw that 90s fashion was trending and thought that was the hype. Costume designer Catherine Adair has been a costume designer in 29 projects, none of them was a teen TV show (except her most recent project, after Fate, which is a disney kids mystery series) and 16 of wich were in the 90s. She has dressed TV shows before Fate but things like Desperate Housewives and The Man in the High Castle- Definitely not even close to the vibe Fate has. Hopefully she'll either do more research or they'll hire another costume designer since she's aparently working on this new Disney series. IMDb says we have a new Art Director in S02 (Justin Warburton-Brown, who apparently done The Witcher S02!!) so my hopes are very high!
New locations and sets!
I loved Alfea and the Winx Suite but I feel like we need more sets. That's not the fault of the art direction or set decoration (which were done by Karl Clifford -who isn't credited for anything but Fate- and Jil Turner who has a very good resume, having worked on Vikings and a lot of other fantasy movies and tv shows), I feel like they did a pretty good job with what they were given. Having the entire season be basically that got very repetitive and because of the number of views I'm hoping they have a bigger budged in S02 to be able to have different sets. I wanna see Magix! The cartoon did a wonderful job with the city near Alrea, it was super cool to see the futuristic town in a fairy show, which was a contrast to what me, as a kid, imagines what a magical town would look like. I don't think they'll to this for Fate but it'd be cool to see like magic being used in day to day lives. Also if Alfea is in the middle of nowhere where do the girls get like stuff? Where do they buy tampons if they need it? I MUST know!! Also it'd be pretty cool to see Solaria sometime. IMDb also told me we got a new set decorator in S02 and he's been the set decorator of Shadow and Bone (Kevin Downey) so I'M EXCITED.
More plot and Backstory for the characters
Let's skip Bloom and Sky because I think @lilshitwayne would do a better job talking about them and then focus on the others.
Aisha
WHERE IS AISHA'S PLOT??? They done my girl wrong, so wrong. Seriously, what is her backstory? What are her goals and dreams? What are her insecurities and challenges? What is her personal arc? What is her role in the series arc? I wish I could answer all these questions but I just can't. I saw @lilshitwayne and @rivusa dms about her yesterday and I want to give them the floor to talk about it so I'm not gonna say what they said, but I do want more from Aisha's character next season and I want her role to not be as suporting as she was in S01. I do think that the fact that she's a poc character had to do with her lack of development and I will HATE it if they make her also LGBTQ+ and continue with Netflix's trend of shoving all the minorities into one character. Hopefully because of the backlash they'll listen. Precious is a beautiful and great actress and she deservers better.
Musa
Musa had a pretty big part in S02 I'd say. She was basically the second most important character after Bloom, BUT she did not have a plot, let's be real. Her whole arch was basically "I hate my powers, they are useless and just make me suffer and I try to ignore them" and then she met Sam and was like "Oh he basically feels nothing so it's nice to spend time with him" and then she found out Sam was Terra's brother and wanted to keep their relationship a secret, then she told Terra and there was like too much drama for a non-dramatic revelation. Then she had to face her powers when Sam was dying but then he lived so she went back to being the same as she was but with a boring boyfriend now (I know people like Sam and that's okay because people have different tastes but I just don't see the appeal, okay? he's boring in my opinion). So like her whole development and plot was based around a guy. No internet struggle solved, no character development. Yes Musa is my favorite character but I still don't like her "plot".
Stella and Terra
idk what I'd say about them. I think one of the other girls in the fate fandom might have takes and stuff. Terra had the self-steem and body issues that basically went no where and Stella has mommy issues and issues in general that are probably gonna get more developed already so I'm not too worries about them.
I know people didn't like that they made Stella have a very different personality than the cartoons and (hot take) I kinda like it. Don't @ me. Stella was hella annoying in the cartoons and I like this very messed up Stella we got, yes she's a bitch but she's got layers and I can't wait to see them Explored.
Terra was not a cartoon character and I have no fucking idea why they didn't just put Flora. Flora in the cartoon had also a very different personality so maybe they thought she didn't fit, but then why not keep her and just change the personality like they did with Stella? Also if they had made Terra latina it wouldn't have changed anything in Terra's plot. Idk what happened behind the scenes but that's what we got. I do want Flora to appear and be this cute cinnamon roll but also badass (and latina) so *fingers crossed*
Riven
ah, Riven... He has so much potential and I can't wait to see his character development throughout the series. I can see a lot of troubles at home and internalized homophobia and fuck he's just so god damn Bi. Hopefully that little interaction with Dane about just liking whoever depending on the gender will make Riven be okay with his sexuality and I really like this plot okay?
Also, yes, as a Rivusa shipper I want that to happen and I've already done two huge post about Riven and Rivusa in Fate so if u wanna read more go and do it (here and here).
The rest idgaf about them (I do but i'm too lazy to type)
Future characters
I wanna see Brandon. They call even make Stella bi and change Brandon to like Brenda or something, I've done that in fics and I think that'd be interesting.
Flora, of course, as said above.
Helia if they bring Flora along. They should pair him with Terra, he's Flora's.
I don't wanna see Tecna and Timmy tbh, might be a controversial opinion but I didn't really care for them in the OG and with all the normal technology in Fate I don't really see a reason for them. Unless they change Tecna's powers like they did with Musa, but we don't need another white basic bitch character.
I think that's it!
If yall want to answer and discuss Fate feel free to reblog! I'd love to talk about how we could improve the show!

One. Part 2
Tumblr media
Taking in a deep breath, you know how hard it is to not want to pick Imani up and take her up the stairs. Her adamant self-wanting to go up the steps herself, she is doing this one by one too. This is very boring but also tires her out, she is always the one awake, but we have an early flight out. What I mean by that is that we are flying out at four in the morning so these girls will need to be awake, it’s really going to be me holding them and dragging them onto the flight, but it’s getting then to sleep is the issue. It’s barely nine so I hope the other two are attempting to go to sleep “why have you just restarted that!? Imani, you were on the right path” I know this girls isn’t restarting the stair count “doesn’t matter now, we are here” unlocking the stair gate at the top “one, two. I do it dad” can she hell do it, she thinks she can. Pushing the gate open, grabbing her arm and lifting her over the gate, she ran off and of course is going into her sister’s room. Closing the gate behind me, Rylee and Tianna both share a room, we let the girls decide and they wanted that but they argue constantly so I think we will be splitting them up soon, it’s Imani that has her own room but she doesn’t need her room when she sleeps in my bed every time “are you girls ready for bed” looking down at my phone, I have many messages right now that I need to read “dad, we decided” looking up from my phone “Imani, get out of Rylee’ bed now. Yes baby?” Rylee has a plan “we really think you’re terrible at hair, we also think we should do movie night in your bedroom tonight oh and also we should get the phone back” she tries it “no because you both can’t be nice but how about we try and call mommy?” Their faces lit up; I say they I mean the elder two. Imani is just herself “come on, we will do it together, and nobody mentions London, that is the rule ok?” Making my way to Tianna’ be “move up” these little ass beds “dad you’re big” I chuckled getting comfy, Rylee jumped right on me “ah! Damn girl, what is this?” She jumped from one bed onto me “I am getting comfy” Imani eventually made her to me “look at your top mama, you are a mess” she got half her body out of her top, she is crazy. Grabbing Imani and lifting her onto the bed “right, after this. Please girls, go to sleep. I need to pack, and I don’t need the drama” these girls are climbing on me, literally climbing all on me to get the best view. Moving my head to the side to see my own phone, they really miss their mother.
I cringed at the FaceTime not being answered, I did it twice too and the anticipation of her picking up with the girls I felt that and now I feel bad that she didn’t pick up “mom is busy I think” Rylee said “it’s my birthday still” Tianna was quick to add, she really isn’t letting it pass with Robyn not communicating with her “let’s try Mel, auntie is always on her phone isn’t she” trying to play it off, nobody said anything but I tapped on Mel’ name and hoped for the best “I already spoke to auntie though?” Tianna whined out “it’s not about you” Rylee retorted “be quiet the both of you” I felt a sigh of relief when she answered, waiting for it to connect properly “god damn, I look awful” I laughed at the pixelated image “you good, you good” I said laughing “awww is my little angels ready for bed?” Mel said seeing our faces “I am thank you” I answered laughing “negro!” She spat at me, looking from the background Mel is there for what show will happen “ain’t it like the middle of the night there?” I questioned “yep, things happened that had to be dealt with. I miss you girls so much, I really do” that is not the point I need Robyn to speak to the birthday girl “where is Robyn?” I questioned; Mel paused looking away from the camera “Jah! Where is Robbie?” Mel shouted, Tianna little face is really upsetting me right now “Ti, I told you that you need to be a big girl” Rylee said but Tianna is crying now, she is in tears over this “mom loves you Ti” Rylee consoled her this time without being a pain, watching her hold Tianna’ face in her hands, she means business my eldest “she loves us all! Just she has been really busy, we know mom is going to be back soon!” Looking back at Mel; I don’t even care like that now Robyn has no choice but to do this “girls, daddy needs to pee. Tianna baby, mommy is coming to the phone don’t worry” getting up from the bed “Imani, no” she is going to follow me, of course she is.
Imani followed me to the bathroom “Imani, what are you doing?” She is getting unchanged right now “Mel, like what the hell you doing? Don’t you know where she is?” Looking at the phone, she looks lost. Changing the FaceTime to a call instead, placing it against my ear “not that, she is talking to a big boss of LMVH. He’s here so like it’s hard to get her attention, I’ve asked Jah to say but he won’t because of him being the big boss pretty much “Mel, Tianna is crying because she hasn’t said happy birthday to her. I expected her to at least be around for when they go to sleep, why hasn’t she said it to her? I don’t get it, it’s one fucking minute, Imani! What are you doing?” My daughter has really just got butt naked, I died a little inside because the way she is staring at me and peeing on the floor “wow, you’re a nightmare” now she’s made more mess for me “you know what Mel, tell her forget it” I can’t even chase her about this, the cries of Imani now, this is crazy “it’s busy there, I’m sorry” disconnecting the call “why are you crying?” She pointed at the Bath sobbing her little heart out “I want that” she cried pointing “so you peed on the bathroom floor so you can have a bath knowing I am busy already? Thanks” I huffed out, walking to the door and unlocking it. Dragging it open “Rylee!?” I shouted, looking back at Imani “don’t you dare move!” I shouted at her, she fell to the floor and cried more “yeah dad?” She is sheepish; she is up to no good “I would appreciate it if you can get Imani night clothes out for me on her bed and pass me a towel too” Rylee is trying to peak in “is mom not answering? Can we please have our phone?” Shaking my head “just do me that and then go to bed after that” Rylee nodded her head and walked off, Imani is a pain.
All that commotion and Imani making it about herself my two eldest daughters have fallen asleep, in the same bed. I don’t know what they were gossiping about, but they are asleep and that is the main point, I need to pack their things, but I will have a nap before I do “ssshh” I said to Imani, she isn’t asleep. She is really annoying, and I think that’s because she’s like me “let’s go to bed” I still can’t believe she stripped naked, peed on the floor because she wanted a bath, she is something else that girl. My phone started vibrating in my hand, it’s Mel. She has been calling a few times so let me answer this “yo” answering the call “damn nigga, take your time answering” I laughed leaning down to grab Imani’ arm, she is going to run off like she does “I know, busy guy. It’s hard taking care of three kids, you know” I dragged out “I totally understand that Chris, as I was saying that she was with the big boss, and we didn’t want to say anything but now she’s walked off again. But she mentioned it, and when she talks about it she cries, I’m not even putting it on so I think she’s just closed off from it but I guess it’s not possible? My little ninja is asleep?” Sighing out “she is, there is one that is awake though. You know what I will do anything for my daughters, I would stop an event for them” the line went silent, closing the bedroom door “that’s between you both, but she is suffering Chris” Imani ran off as she does, she will be back “I’ll be in London for her event, I know how important this is and the girls will be there. Surprise for her, don’t say it to her though” Mel gasped “no way; she is going to cry. It’s been the hardest time anyways, keep in contact with me. Is TJ coming?” Shaking my head “just me and the girls” Mel cooed out, I am just not happy about this at all “call me though, like I know this has been hard. I just wish it was different for you both, but she is going to be happy to see you all” I feel like not going now “to be honest just don’t let Robyn call me, I don’t want to speak to her. She hasn’t bothered to even care to call Tianna, it’s not cool. Imani! Get out now, I mean it. I am sick” she is being so naughty right now “the favourite, I adore her so much” she should have went with Robyn “then take her, damn” since she loves her that much “is it Chris?” oh Robyn is there, I am not in the mood for her.
There was a silence, while there was I placed Imani on the bed, she can just start getting comfy “I am sorry” that is the first thing Robyn said “I don’t need the apology, it’s the girl that was crying on me all day on her birthday. You are wack for that, I don’t care if you are upset about it she is a fucking child. You’re a grown fucking adult Robyn, are you serious?” I did say I would be good, but I can’t help it “I know, I did call you, but you didn’t pick up. Then I got side tracked with this, I will make it up to her. Don’t be like that with me Chris, when I said I would be away for a while we both agreed, I even said bring the girls here and we can just get a private tutor and you said no, you will keep them there. I am suffering too, I miss them. I am working my ass off while you send me cute pictures and spending time with the kids, I miss that, I do and you’re there judging me” I didn’t even say anything, but she is crying “can you just relax, you need to sleep. Just let me know, keep in touch with me, we are going back to the house, I will tuck her in bed, take care” Mel said, she knows I am judging her. This is why she stormed off the phone crying, I dislike arguing when she is so far apart from me, but it just annoyed me, I won’t call her back or anything, but I will just text her to say it’s ok, soon we will be united and whatever “Imani, why are you like this? I feel like you should have been my son, lay down in bed now” reaching over and snatching the remote from her, she keeps playing about with the TV “peppa pig” she pointed at the TV “my ass, in bed now” her fat ass all out of breath from being a menace.
I literally bought the girls in their nightclothes; I don’t know how I did this, but I did it. They all half asleep just going through the airport but the lady in business class has been so kind and got the girls extra pillows “early start for them” the flight attendant said, I grinned “for me too, I was the one dragging them out, it was a mission to do this. I thought let’s just keep the clothes on and get them on here, we can change after” she cooed out “they are so sweet, exhausted too. They are going to wake up on the plane and going to a different country. Well you are lucky, you have business class all to yourself so if you need anything then let me know” it’s kind of dope that we the only ones in business class, shit is dead as fuck. I was going to get the jet but if I did then Robyn would know, just because Tina would tell her, and I can’t be bothered to tell Tina too, so I just got on a plane but going there in comfort of course. I guess I can relax, the girls are asleep. I can sleep for a little and then start getting them ready once they wake up, I packed a whole carry on case just for this moment. I packed badly but we can always buy clothes while we in London anyways.
My daughters are so beautiful, like it makes me smile how beautiful they all are “dad you really matched us like this?” Rylee said pulling a face “honestly I didn’t do it on purpose, I needed to leave so I saw these Burberry dresses and I was like we got to go, grabbed them and got the shoes. But look how beautiful you look and you want to say thank you to the lady, she did your hair” Rylee looked behind her “it’s not like my mom” Rylee says this all the time “I agree too” the flight attendant said “but thank you, it’s better then my dad” the flight attendant laughed “not a problem pretty” Tianna is watching something on her tablet with Imani at the side of her, she is quiet so I will take that “dad” Rylee sat on my lap “this sounds like you’re going to ask me something, did I ever tell you that your mannerisms is like your mom?” she nodded her head “everyday but mom is amazing, but dad. Ti really wanted a party right, I think we should do a big party. She didn’t want one without mom” raising and eyebrow “you tease her all day every day and now you nice” she laughed “because I can” shaking my head “be nice, but we shall see what we can do. Also you’re going to hate me, I left your phone that you both share at the house, I only got the tablet” now she is not happy “how am I supposed to message my friends now dad!” she got off my lap, well that got her off my lap then.
Rylee and Tianna pushing Imani in the stroller while I deal with the luggage “you two, can you now run with her like that please” I had to put Imani in a stroller, she would run off without a care “I will!” Tianna shouted, walking through the airport with these three is no fun, we had two toilet breaks before we got passed security. The major thing here is that we made it, we are in London “worst part here is I need to pee, but I don’t trust anyone or anything to be just leaving them, so I am going to be a big boy and hold it in “how much more walking dad?” Tianna asked “just a little more, we are nearly there. See the driver is there” I can see my name written “Chris Brown?” he said, nodding my head “welcome to London sir, let me take your luggage” all I can think is thank god but I don’t even know where we are going, I will call Mel and meet up with her “follow me sir the car is just there” looking to the side of me, some random people started waving at the girls “these are Rihanna daughters” waving the girls over “here, come. Let’s go, thanks brother” the driver took the bags for me “let me push the stroller, you walk in front now” this is hectic as hell, I ain’t ever doing this again in my life.

top six pinocchio adaptations? idek if there are 6 🤷‍♂️
Hollie, my buddy, my pal, my dearest, not only there are like twice that number that I personally watched/read/experienced, but there are many more that I still have to get to. So have no fear, I have plenty of material to draw from
Also thank you 💓💓💓 I know at this point I’ve flooded everyone’s dash with this kinda stuff but I so love talking about it and y’all keep saying I shouldn’t stop so here I am
Ask me my top 6 anything
So the thing is, I’ve already listed my top 5 adaptations here, but as it goes I have multiple different rankings when it comes to Pinocchio stuff, so there is no shortage of lists I could make. I could rank going by the amount of screentime the thrice-damned Cricket gets, or how much the Fairy irks me, but since this is a lovely day and I have no wish to ruin it by talking about characters I would personally take on in a fistfight, I will instead use another discriminator.
That is, the Lampwick factor.
Lampwick gets an astonishing amount of hate considering he is a) a child b) Pinocchio without the plot armor c) someone the story’s system failed, along all those other boys, but I love him dearly and I will defend him sword in hand. Some adaptations forgo him entirely (looking at you, German-Japanese cartoon who would have been perfect otherwise) but most of those who leave him in make him memorable, for good and for bad.
So, without further ado:
(Actual list under the cut because I got carried away with number 4 and it got LONG)
1) Luigi Comencini’s Le avventure di Pinocchio (1972)
Tumblr media
This miniseries’ Lampwick is just *chef’s kiss *. Not only does he get the funkiest introductory scene, laying under THEE boat (a trendsetter, that boy), but the way he behaves is consistently amazing and depicts the friendship between him and Pinocchio aside from the more famous Land of Toys (?) escapade. Also, SPOILERS FOR THE BOOK STORY, but cutting off his death scene, leaving his fate ambiguous and having Pinocchio snap at his father for suggesting Lampwick might have gotten “what he deserved” was a balm for my heart. Plus, he got a sweet sweet character theme that also served as title track for the miniseries.
(Fun fact, I found out while looking up the theme that his actor and Pinocchio’s starred as brothers in another movie shortly after, which is a nice little piece of trivia to know :D )
2) Matteo Garrone’s Pinocchio (2020)
Tumblr media
YOUR HONOR, HE’S BABY! I want to protect him at all costs. The actor plays the part of Pinocchio’s shenanigan partner perfectly, and this movie takes a more realistic approach when it comes to depicting life in a poor maritime town in XIX century Italy, instead of showing Lampwick as someone who rebels against nothing. They cut out the final part of his story here as well, of which I could never be more grateful, for all that I’m a Pinocchio purist in most other cases. If you ask for my opinion, he deserves to be alive and happy somewhere else, and that’s that on that :)))))
3) Pinocchio miniseries (2009)
Tumblr media
When I tell you that 11yo me was infatuated with him...Learning that Thomas Brodie-Sangster was already 18 when this aired was one of the biggest shocks of my life. He looked 15 at best, and only in the right light.
Still, what a good Lampwick. He’s snarky, he’s a bad influence, but he's a good friend, too, so it’s a win-win situation, isn’t it? He may be a bastard, but at least he will try to fix your sorrows in the most bothersome ways possible - remember kids, running off to a magical land is not a good way to cope with grief, but if you do it, at least stick to someone older than you who will do his best to keep you alive and distracted.
(Come to think of it, I’m still not convinced that Robbie Kay wasn’t influenced by this when he went on to portray Peter Pan.)
4) Roberto Benigni’s Pinocchio (2002)
LISTEN. Listen. This movie is a problem. I can’t speak of this movie without having to wrack my mind to find the right words. Benigni single-handedly ruined my chance at credibility by making this both the weirdest AND closest-to-text adaptation currently in existence.
(Aside from a sequence of excessive Cricket presence towards the end, but I digress.)
So, Benigni made a peculiar choice when filming this movie; that is, he had all the child characters be played by adults while retaining somewhat childish behaviors. Now, if it was merely a humorous parody I’d be less concerned, but if it was that easy to reduce it to such a stereotype, I wouldn’t have watched it in the first place, because there are too many Pinocchio parodies in the world and I despise most of them.
No, once you gather enough suspension of disbelief to see through the comedy factor of this movie, you soon have to realize that it’s, in fact, very well made. So you have to come to terms with the reality that this perfectly in-character Pinocchio with a Tuscanian accent who lifts paragraphs straight from the book was played by a 50yo man, and that the Fairy was played by his wife. There are things I don’t want to deal with when I’m watching a Pinocchio adaptation and Benigni’s supposed mommy issues is definitely one of them.
“So what does Lampwick have to do with any of this?”, you may ask. Well, my friend, Lampwick is by far the oddest casting choice in this case.
Picture this: you’re watching this movie where there are no kids, only adults playing kids. It’s weird, but it’s kinda funny, because the way they’re dressed and the way they act makes it clear that you’re supposed to laugh at them. Then a new character, well-known jackass Lampwick, is herded in, and you expect another 40something comedian to pair well with Benigni.
Instead, what you see is Kim Rossi Stuart.
Tumblr media
Kim Rossi Stuart was a heartthrob of late 90/early 2000s Italy. He’s still quite good-looking - in fact, he might have even gotten better with age and with a beard, but that’s my personal taste chiming in - but back then he was at the height of his career. He was in Fantaghirò, for God’s sake. And here he comes sauntering by, as though it was nothing at all, eating lollipops and playing at darts with a floreal-pattern-clad Roberto Benigni.
It drives me nuts. I’ve honestly never been more appalled by an actor choice in my life. But that’s precisely the reason why it ranks so high - I’ll be 80 and grey and STILL I’ll be wondering what the fuck Benigni was thinking when he picked him. It leaves a mark, that kind of thing.
5) Enzo D’Alò’s Pinocchio (2012)
(By this point you should have realized the reason I put director names and dates in is because they all have the same fucking title. Also, enjoy this unflattering screenshot I had to make myself)
Tumblr media
This movie is sweet. Not memorable, but sweet. It’s more whimsical and cartoonish than most, and the target age group is clearly younger than the one for say, Garrone’s movie, but Lucio Dalla wrote great songs for it so I appreciate it.
I’m more of the school of thought of  “Lampwick as a kid Pinocchio’s age” than “Lampwick as an older mentor of sorts”, and this Lampwick was voiced by Paolo Ruffini, who has the right accent but which I find annoying, but still, I like him. I love older brother figures, and Lampwick in this movie takes the time to comfort a sad kid he doesn’t know and humor him all throughout their journey. They’re good together, and that’s enough for me. #justicefor2012lampwick
6) Disney’s Pinocchio (1940)
Tumblr media
Cue great stupor from everyone involved. Yes, I hate this movie with every fiber of my being, but this is the stereotypical Lampwick. Not putting him in would have been nearly blasphemous. Also, so many adaptations ignored his existence completely that I have to make concessions sometimes.
In addition to that, his character is tied to a little traumatic memory of my own. I watched this movie when I was like, 5 or 6, and as opposed to my classmates and sister who got frightened by most of it I was pretty unfazed, since I already knew the real story had WAY worse scenes.
But I also have a pretty vivid auditory memory, so what stuck with me was not the kids being turned into donkeys as much as Lampwick screaming like “Help! Call your cricket! Call who you want!” with the most horrifying voice ever. Was part of my nightmares for a long while, nearly as much as other movie scenes I watched in the same time period and of which I’m still scared, like ET’s freezer sequence or Dumbo’s Pink Elephants.

If you had braces, have your teeth moved since you got them off? Yep, because of the whole "not wearing my retainer" thing. Whose was the first baby shower you remember attending, and for what baby? I'm unsure. Possibly my sister's for her first daughter. Do you know anyone personally who’s lost a child? Many people. When was the last time you did something that felt like rebellion?

Have you ever played in a waterfall? No, but that'd be dope. Who has inspired you the most in your life? Probably Mark. Is there a place where everyone who lives near you tends to hang out? Idk. Teens sure do love to hang out at Sonic, though, reving their stupid fucking trucks. Does your alarm clock wake you with music, or with an annoying buzz sound? Music. Did you make it all the way through the Oregon Trail game? Yes; I was obsessed with those as a kid. Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! Which one are you more scared of? I feel like being alone with a tiger would scare me most. Though let's be real, I'd probably try to pet it. Have you ever changed your favorite color? From what to what? It was originally red, but then became pink when I actually understood it was its own color. Then it was maroon forever, and now it's back to pink. On a scale of 1-10, how competitive are you? Eh, 4-6? It depends on the situation, I guess. At what age did your have your most memorable birthday? My 21st, because I was in the psych hospital for it. Yes or no: Guys in skinny jeans? Yeah, man.

Has anybody ever given you a promise ring? No. What do you think about putting ‘spinners’ on cars? So long as they're not too distracting, I don't care. Do what you want with your car - again, so long as it is not disruptive. What celebrity do you wish would have a big comeback? I wish poor Britney Spears could catch a goddamn break and be happy again. She's a legend that doesn't deserve to feel like a puppet. Were you outdoors or indoors more as a kid? I'd say there was a pretty even split. Do you or have you ever owned a horse? No, but I LOVE horses. Have you ever had a relationship that began via text? (weird, I know, but it happens…) Most of my relationships started through a text message. Did you believe in unicorns as a small child? I don’t think so. Would you ever date a guy with longer hair than yourself? Yeah; I have short hair anyway, and I also like long hair on guys. Do you watch the show Wizards of Waverly Place? I used to love that show. Have you ever been to the rainforest? No; humidity aside though, that would be so amazing. Bats are not spooky or are they? I think they're precious. Do you like the song "Womanizer?"

     When he’d be hiding from his reflection- or stares just a little too long. Going up behind him & worship him (vise versa)
• He’d be your biggest hypeman/ #1 fan (vise versa)
• Would LOVE you wearing his clothes/jewelry & would love to wear you things.
Was probably engaged to his ex (that's why he gets offt when people mention "corpse wife"
There'd be days where he'd be so distance & cold.. & tell you to leave but wouldn't let you.
He'd sit in the bathroom with you when you shower/have a bath.
As he doesn't sleep most night. He'd be up just watching you sleep & caressing you.

Tumblr media
June ‘86
“That is not how you play UNO!” Tommy shouted in frustration, “Yes it is! Skip you, come back to me, skip you, uno, skip you again and uno out, I win T-bone.” Vanity replied, a giggle in her voice as she watched him try to wrap his head around it.
“Whatever, let’s play again.” Tommy hastily replied, collecting all the cards as he Began to shuffle them.
Tommy rolled his eyes as Nikki and Josie’s fighting had become more prominent. Vanity looked down the walk way, seeing the door was still closed. “Man, She never shuts up.” Tommy exasperated, Vanity quickly nods in agreement, “She makes me look like an angel.”
Vanity noticed Mick who was going back and forth between sipping on a vodka bottle and tuning one of his guitars as she tried to tune out the screaming match in the back.
“We should prank Vince.” Vanity mentioned to Tommy, nodding over to the blonde haired singer as he was trying to bask in the sun that was perfectly hitting the couch, “He’s still reeling over the hair dye in his shampoo incident, he will kill us.” Tommy said laughing as the bedroom door slammed open with an angry Nikki walking out.
“Well maybe if you weren’t slamming needle after needle you could keep your dick up!!” Josie screamed at Nikki as she shoved him from behind.
“Was never an issue for me..” Vanity whispered, making both her and Tommy laugh, “And whats so fucking funny to you?” Josie turned her attention to Vanity as she smacked her hand on the table.
It has only been a week since the altercation. Josie stays out of her way and Vanity does the same. Looks and words haven’t been exchanged for the sake of the band. If Josie comes into the common areas of the tour bus, Vanity climbs either into her bunk or Tommy’s to watch a movie. If Nikki gives all his attention to Vanity, which happens more then any of them would like to admit, Josie goes and finds someone else to entertain her rather it be Vince or some random guy she finds.
“What’s hilarious is that you’re constantly on Nikki’s dick, following him around like a lost puppy.” Josie expressed as an un-amused laugh escaped Vanity’s lips.
“Maybe if you knew what you were doing, he could keep it up....was never an issue with me, huh Sixx?” Vanity teased, sending a wink towards Nikki.
“God, is it that time of the month already?” Vince gave his two cents as Vanity and Josie glared at him, “Shut up!” They both shouted at him. He grumbled to himself as he put the blanket over his head.
“Leave her out of this, it’s between you and me.” Nikki demanded, gripping Josie’s arm so she would look at him, “Only if you knew how to treat a woman. Clearly mommy wasn’t too good at teaching you that. Actually she didn’t teach you anything.” Josie lashed out at Nikki, his face immediately turning into anger.
“She shouldn’t say those things.” Tommy whispered across the table to Vanity, she nodded in agreement. This isn’t gonna end well we’re Vanity’s inner thoughts as she felt her stomach twist into knots.
“Watch your fucking mouth.” Nikki warned, stepping into Josie’s face as she smirked back at him. “Tommy, do something.” Vanity said, worried of what was gonna happen if Josie continued. Vanity, from personal experience of course, knew better then to throw the mommy issues in his face. For Christ sake, he left a hole in her wall when she mouthed off to him.
Tommy shook his head, “She already started, he’ll finish it. Don’t worry.” Vanity rolled her eyes, taking a sip of the beer that was in front of her.
“Oh? Sad mommy didn’t want you? Hey, at least daddy-“ Josie wasn’t able to finish as Nikki’s ringed fist connected with her mouth making her fall down to the ground in immediate cries.
“Holy shit!” Everyone collectively yelled, “Nikki! What the fuck!” Vanity shouted, shoving him away from her as she knelt down to check on Josie.
Josie’s eyes were full of fear and tears, flinching when Vanity’s hand came near her face, “You’re okay.” She whispered as Josie cupped her mouth, quickly looking at all the blood that was pooling in the palm of her hand.
“Get this cunt off my bus! Now!!” Nikki yelled, the bus coming to a screeching halt, “Move!” Nikki shouted towards Vanity, pushing her away from Josie as he grabbed her by hair, pulling her up to her feet, “I fucking told you to stop running your god damn mouth!!” Nikki screamed in her face, as tears ran down her cheeks.
Vanity freezes as she watches them, it’s like time stopped and she was back where she was five years ago, standing in the middle of the house she shared with Julian. The look on Nikki’s face was a spitting image of Julian. The way his hand wrapped around her hair, feeling as if they were about to be ripped out. The redness of his face as he screamed at her at the top of his lungs. The genuine terror that plagued Josie’s eyes, that was Vanity five years ago. The blood and the tears dripping down, that was her.
“Ju-Julian stop.” Vanity said, the abrupt words taking everyone off guard. With another shove, Josie was standing outside of the bus. “Nikki...I meant Nikki.” Vanity whispered, not trying to look at him as he approached her, also making her take a step back, “You can get the fuck off my bus too.” Nikki snarled, quickly grabbing Josie’s bags from the room and throwing them at her feet outside.
“He doesn’t mean that, you know that.” Tommy said, grabbing ahold of Vanitys hand as she tried leaving, “I know.” Vanity replied, “I’m just taking a breather.” She reassured him as she stepped outside.
She noticed Josie standing on the side of the road, spitting blood out of her mouth, “Want one?” Vanity held out a cigarette between her fingers, “Sure.” Josie responded, quickly taking it as they smoked together in silence, watching Nikki throw every piece of luggage out of the bus.
“Doll, What are you doing!” Nikki yelled, stepping off the bus as he approached Vanity, “You kicked me off the bus, Nikki.” She reminded him, he groaned, rolling his eyes in frustration, “Yes, I know..I’m sorry, let’s go, we’re gonna be late.” Nikki said, grabbing Vanity's hand, trying to pull her back inside.
“No!” She fought back, pulling her hand away from his grip, “Dammit Vanity, can you ever listen to me once! Let’s go!” Nikki reached for her hand again, she quickly shoved him away.
“Fuck you, don’t touch me.” Vanity muttered making Nikki’s expression soften, “Princess, I am sorry...but we are really going to be late. Please, can we just go?” Nikki spoke sweetly, sticking his hand out of her to grab, “You can’t just leave her here!” Vanity shouted, “Look at where we are! We are in the middle of nowhere! We are miles from the next town!!” Vanity tried to get Nikki to reason with her as they were standing in the middle of the road arguing.
“She signed her own fucking death wish! Let’s go! I’m leaving with or without you!” Nikki yelled at her.
“Alright, bye.” Vanity waved him off, turning her back towards him, “We are leaving!” Nikki shouted, picking Vanity up and throwing her over his shoulder, “Put me down! I’m not going anywhere with a woman beater!!” Vanity shouted, hitting Nikki on the shoulders as they made their way back onto the bus.
“Close the doors! We are fucking going!” Nikki ordered the driver, “No!” Nikki groaned out load, “Vanity! We don’t have time for this!” Nikki was in her ear as she rummaged through her purse and grabbed her wallet.
“I’m so sorry.” She said to Josie, who was a blubbering mess, “It’s-it’s all I have on me.” Vanity said, putting a fat wad of cash into her hands. The doors of the tour bus closed as they started driving again.
“You son of a bitch!” Vanity shouted at Nikki, shoving his chest, “She had it fucking coming!! She wouldn’t stop!! It’s her fault!!” Nikki tried defending his actions.
“Oh so you’re gonna fucking hit me too the next time I mouth off!? Is that so!!” Vanity pestered him, shoving his chest again, “And you just fucking leave her on the side of the road with a mouth full of blood!! God, you’re such a bastard, Nikki.” Vanity continued to scold him, as they stared at one another.
Nikki was tired of the arguing, and he for sure didn’t want to argue anymore with her. He quickly grabbed Vanity’s hand and dragged her along to his bedroom, “No, fuck you, let go of me!” Vanity shouted at him before Nikki slammed the door, locking it as he turned around and leaned against it.
He looked at her from head to toe, watching her chest heave up and down as she was trying to calm herself down. They stood in a comfortable silence as Nikki practically undressed her with his eyes, her taking note in his desire that burned through him with just a simple gaze.
“Oh no, we are not- no, don’t look at me like that.” Vanity murmured, getting an arrogant smirk from Nikki in return, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He retorted, inching his way closer to her.
“I know that look, and you are not touching me.” Nikki smiled, putting his arms out wide in defense, “What look, Princess? I’m not doing anything.”
Vanity quickly put her hand on his chest to stop him from coming any closer, “I’m sorry.” Nikki shyly replied taking her hand off of him, bringing it up to his lips to kiss it.
“Just because you think kissing me and touching me is gonna make everything better between us, it won’t. So don’t eve-“
Nikki rolled his eyes at her nervous rambling before cupping both sides of her cheeks and kissing her. He felt her hand hands try to push him away, but he wrapped his arms around her body as he guided them to the bed.
Vanity was underneath him in an instant, his lips trailing down to her neck, nipping and sucking at that sweet spot he knows drives her wild, “Nikki...stop.” Vanity forced out, not really knowing if she wanted him to stop or not, but fuck they had a lot to talk about.
“No.” Nikki said, bringing his lips back to hers, “It’s been so long since I’ve touched you.” Vanity let out a small sigh of relief as she felt his hand slide down, his fingers undoing the button and zipper of her jeans.
“See what you do to me.” Nikki moaned, grabbing Vanity’s hand, making her feel how hard he was through the fabric of his pants. “Just let me make you feel good, let me show you how sorry I am.”
“Nikki, get off of me.” Vanity groaned, pushing him off, as she stood up and faced him, “Use real fucking words for once in your life Nikki.” Vanity crossed her arms as she glared at him. He sat back on his knees, hoping that she would give up so he could fuck her already.
“Just let me fuck you and then we can talk, alright.” Nikki said, trying to reach for her hand to pull her back, “No!! Apologize to me for all the bullshit you’ve put me through!” Nikki groaned in frustration as he leaned back onto the bed.
“What do you want me to apologize for? I’ve done nothing to you.” Nikki retorted, sitting back up so he can face her.
“Oh I don’t know! Maybe for your junkie girlfriend almost getting me arrested!” “You broke my bass!!” “Cause she pissed me off!!” Vanity sighed, “Nikki, what do you want from me?”
“I Uh...I...What do you mean?” Nikki stuttered as he looked over at her, “Do you want me?” Vanity questioned, noticing how uncomfortable he became, “I want you naked underneath me.” Nikki replied, a laugh coming from Vanity, “No..Nikki...Do you want me?” She clarified.
Nikki swallowed the lump that was forming in his throat. Of course I want you, but you said we wouldn’t be good for each other.
“I just want us to go back to how we were, before Josie and before Ryan. Just you and me. Nikki and Vanity, no strings attached.” Nikki answered, “The boys keep telling me you have feelings for me.” Vanity trailed off, “Its okay if you do...I just, I don’t think I feel the same way.” Vanity let him down easily just in case.
“Vanity, you’re a great girl, a even better fuck, but I don’t have feelings for you, the guys are just fucking around. I mean, of course I love you you’re practically my best friend, but I don’t love you like that.” Nikki explained, even though he knew the little crush he had on her was starting to grow. He tried his best to keep how he felt about her tucked away, but it always came out in some shape or form. Rather it be how he spent months prior to Christmas trying to get the bracelet together just for her, or when he gets extremely jealous that some guy has her attention when they’re out at a bar or club. 
“Okay good, because that would’ve been messy.” Vanity says, jokingly wipes sweat from her forehead, “Yeah...messy...” Nikki forces a laugh, “No more girlfriends or boyfriends, at least until I get bored of you.” Vanity teased, placing her hands on his shoulders, gripping the ends of his hair in between her fingertips.
“I apologized, so now can I fuck you?” Nikki asked, cupping her ass as he pulled her closer to him, “No, I need to go teach Tommy how to play Uno.” She smirks, pushing away from him.
“You also need to take a trip to the doctor before I let you touch me...Josie looked dirty.” Vanity teased. Nikki scoffed, “My dick is fine.” Vanity laughed, opening up the door and seeing the boys already looking in their direction.
“That’s how you end up with syphilis again.” She continued to tease him, “As long as you’ll dress up as a slutty nurse and take care of me, I’ll risk it.” Nikki followed her out, and back into the common areas of the tour bus.
“Everything okay in paradise?” Vince joked, Nikki quickly punching him in the chest, “I’m serious, Nik.” Vanity continued on, “Alright, Alright.” Nikki sighed in defeat, sitting down on the couch and picking up a guitar.
“Now, before we were so rudely interrupted.” Vanity said to Tommy, glaring at Nikki who flipped her off in return. She picked up the cards once more, “Let me show you how to play.” Tommy laughed, “Your way of playing is just cheating.” Vanity shook her head, shuffling and dealing out the cards as they began to play again, trying to kill time before they arrived at the next venue.

okay so, hi !!  10 million later, and i finally have this bad boi up. for those of you who don’t know my name is maaria ( or mars. ) i am 23, i live in nyc, i can touch my tongue to my nose & i respect any bich that can bring me a good meme. holden ( the magnet ) is literally the worst person i know and i’m so sorry abt him lmao. learn more fax him below. 
history. 
holden is the product of an extramarital affair, his father was a new york city corporate lawyer ( largely based on jordan belfort aka leo dicaprio in wolf of wall street so pls be sympathetic towards his daddy issues lmao ) & his mother’s father owned one of the corporations he was retained for. they met at a cinco de mayo party, drunk off of margaritas. his entire existence was destined to be a travesty. 
prior to him, his father had a daughter from first marriage, gianna ( 28 yrs old ) who vehemently pretends that holden is not related to him. he has two younger twin sisters margot and bridgette. ( both 13, both terrible. )
his parents clash heads a lot as holden’s father is quite frankly always toeing the line when it comes to matters of legality regarding his finances, stock trades, and client list so the fbi has fluttered in and out of their lives for years, trying to gather evidence against him. 
regardless of the bullshit, holden’s always lived quite cushy living with a bougie gated community of mansions, summering in exotic places, and receiving a range rover the second he was able to drive, however given holden’s father’s unsavory background the rest of ashmont society has a low opinion of holden’s family. 
his mother fusses over him to no end, still treats him like he’s six, calls him twice a day even tho he lives in the same damn town as these people, and still calls her mommy lmao. he literally has a tattoo in her honor. yah boy would throw hands for his mom. 
he’s also fairly close to his younger sisters, his football jersey is their birthday year. ( 06 )
personality. 
okay so summarize holden holistically, i will be providing two videos: this one + this one. now you know who holden is a person lmao. 
ya boy turns up to every single party ever, invited or not. will 100% get drunk and dance in your kitchen to brittney spears. *britney vc* he’s not that innocent. 
on the football team, and is dfjklfd very competitive. it’s sad boi hrs for holden any time the boys lose a game. catch him listening to celine dion and dramatically looking out a window for days after. 
met bill nye once and cried abt on instagram live.
if he hasn’t quoted a vine all day, please know that like avril lavigne, the real holden has died and been replaced with a clone. 
v v v friendly, and tries to make everyone and anyone he meets feel comfortable and appreciated no matter who they are, what crowd they’re from as long as they are respectful. gets super defensive when people are being bullying someone, and always calls them out. 
the kinda dude who sits with the lonely kid if they let him fsdjlsfj. 
will kick your ass, but will also cry if you put him on a roller coaster. 
HE’S A PRE-MED STUDENT LMAO, I KNOW I CAN’T BELIEVE IT EITHER... but at his core, hold is v much someone who lives to help other people. he’s incredibly stupid at a surface level bc he has big fuck boi energy, however he’s immensely gifted in mathematics and science and does try hard to keep his grades up between getting crunk at your next event. 
was named after holden caulfield and has never read catcher as a lifelong protest to his name being an accidental dick joke. 
volunteers at the hospital every other weekend, tho he wants to specialize in pediatrics, he loves spending time with the seniors. learns magic tricks to dazzle them 
a huge fucking flirt. god this man is engaged to be marry ( holla cassidy turner ) but fdjslkfs... will flirt without even realizing he’s flirting. 
also he was big slut back in the day so there’s big chance he might have slept with your muse ): this is what happens when your name is a dick joke. the dick life chooses you, you don’t choose it. 
more aggressive than he should be... gets wound up and defensive over his friends, his girl, what he believes to be morally correct. is known to immediately start brawls without hesitation over the listed matters. 
is fueled by rice krispy treats, skittles, burgers, cheese sticks, pizza, gatorade and probably like nothing else lmao. 
has a v douchey 2019 range rover, and drives like a 84 yr old grandfather in it bc he’s afraid of fender benders. it’s name is lightning mcqueen, after the fucking movie cars even tho they look NOTHING alike. 
holistically a nice guy, kind of a slut, prob needs an outlet for his anger. 
based off of.
jared ( booksmart ), fred jones, aladdin, james potter, richie tozier, sodapop curtis, michael kelso, joey tribbiani, gob ( arrested development )
pinterest .
( X )
i’ll have a connection’s page and a pretty theme up later tonight fdljdfs.

Michael After Midnight: Xanadu & Why the Razzies Suck
Tumblr media
The Razzies are probably the worst awards show out there for determining the quality of a film or performance. Mommie Dearest won for worst film of the 80s, Ben Affleck was nominated for worst actor for his role as Batman, The Shining and The Thing were both nominated, the people selecting the movies aren’t required to see them and go for the blandest, easiest targets… It’s safe to say the Razzies are a giant steaming turd of determining quality, and they are rightfully despised by just about every sort of legitimate critic and cinephile; notably, Brad Jones AKA the Cinema Snob has bashed them several times for their shitty qualifications for what is ‘bad.’ And if you don’t think their shitty judge of quality has been there from the start, here’s a look at one of the films that inspired the show: Xanadu.
Xanadu is a campy, glitzy musical made in the dying days of disco… but this isn’t just any musical. This is a musical where the soundtrack was done by Electric Light Orchestra and Olivia Newton-John in her heyday. With a combo like that, how the fuck could this fail? Well, I do have a theory, but let’s take a look at the plot first…
Xanadu is the tale of a struggling, frustrated artist named Sonny who paints album covers for a living… which is something he hates doing. In frustration he tosses some of his drawings to the wind, and through the power of early 80s disco light special effects, a drawing of nine girls comes to life; one of the girls, Kira, a rollerskating disco muse, finds and kisses him, and after being kissed by a muse Sonny’s whole life starts looking up. He meets Danny McGuire (played by Gene Kelly), a former big band leader, and soon with the encouragement of Kira the two new friends decide to convert on old abandoned building into a roller disco: Xanadu. Sonny and Kira also start to fall in love, but is their love doomed? I mean, she’s a muse after all. You know how human/divine being relations go, especially when said divine beings are Greek.
There is absolutely no denying that this movie is ridiculously campy and cheesy. The corny special effects with their glowing disco lights, the ridiculous styles, the very premise… it’s just so delightfully goofy. But see, I think this might be the main issue, and why this movie failed in the first place: it was, weirdly, too ahead of its time. Campy disco musicals weren’t really something people wanted when disco was on the way out the door, and who could have predicted disco would make a big comeback years later and that young woman and gay men would latch on to this glitzy musical with its hopeful message down the line? This is the same problem Batman & Robin would have years later; it is a film that came out at the wrong time, a time when people weren’t demanding what the film was offering. If this movie had come out later, sure, maybe it would have been ‘better,’ but it may not have had the same level of charm.
But even with understanding how one could find it bad… is it really so bad that it deserved to inspire an awful awards show that awarded bad movies? Fuck no. Gene Kelly is in here, and even at his age he is still as fleet on his feet; that guy had the fucking fire in his legs and was dancing like a madman. The story, while rather simple, is incredibly relatable and even timeless in a way; artists have always and will always feel the pain of struggling to find joy in their work, hoping they find the muse that will strike them with a grand idea that will set them free. There’s also an animated interlude in here courtesy of Don Bluth, in his first post-Disney animation work, and it is as fantastic as you’d expect from 80s Don Bluth. And then there’s the soundtrack… oh lord, the soundtrack.
We have one of my all time favorite bands combining with the charming Aussie songstress Olivia Newton-John, and by the gods this combination is like peanut butter and jelly. They work so well together. My favorite tracks are probably “All Around the World,” “I’m Alive,” “Magic,” and of course the title track, “Xanadu.” Some of the tracks even combine different genres, such as “Dancin’” combining big band music and glam rock together. The soundtrack itself also runs through tons of genres; there’s disco, rock, pop, and big band on here, there’s a genre for anyone to enjoy. I DO wish that they had the two songs the later stage adaptation added - “Strange Magic” and “Evil Woman” - but that’s only because those two songs are my favorite Electric Light Orchestra songs. Overall, this soundtrack is fun and fantastic, and though I can’t say I love every single song, the music certainly helps carry the movie.
Is this a perfect film? No way, but honestly, its imperfections are what make it so damn charming. It’s not a masterpiece or anything like that, but man is it a sweet, charming, fun little movie with a relatable plot and an awesome soundtrack. If anything about this movie sounds interesting to you, I’d say check this out. It’s worth a watch, and it definitely feels like the kind of movie I’d put on in the background while I’d work and occasionally glance up at for a smile.
Even understanding why people would dislike this in the 80s, come on, there HAD to have been worse movies that year than this. But this all does make sense. The Razzies have always been an institution that picks on the absolute easiest targets; Batman V Superman won quite a few, and while we could debate for days on whether it deserved “Worst Screenplay,” winning Worst Screen Combo for Affleck and Cavill is laughable when most people agree they at least did good jobs with what they were given, with Affleck being cited as a plus by most. Affleck and Cavill were also both nominated for worst actor, which they did not win,but the movie did win Worst Remake, Sequel, Rip-Off, or Prequel… in the same year that Fifty Shades of Black, Alice Through the Looking Glass, Zoolander 2, and Independence Day: Resurgence came out. Interestingly, Gal Gadot is not among the nominations… hmm, wonder why that is? It couldn’t be because she’s not an easy target like Affleck is, riggggggghhhhht?
Even looking back to the original Razzie awards in 1981, they nominated Friday the 13th for worst picture as well as the movie I just reviewed, and also named “Suspended in Time” from Xanadu as one of the worst songs of the year, though it didn’t win, likely because this is laughable. This was also the year Stanley Kubrick was nominated for The Shining under worst director. 1983’s awards were no better; Arnold Schwarzenegger was nominated for worst actor… for Conan the Barbarian. The Thing was nominated for WORST MUSICAL SCORE.  
Look, I would love to rant on how much the Razzies suck all day, but let me wrap up with their anniversary awards. Mommie Dearest was named the worst picture of the 80s… up against Howard the Duck, and in a decade Friday the 13th V and Super Monster both came out. In the 90s, Sylvester Stallone was named worst actor of the century… which is… one of the absolute stupidest things I’ve ever heard. And Showgirls won worst picture of the decade, despite the infinitely worse Psycho remake, crappy dino shitfest Carnosaur, and zero-budget lesbian killer movie Girlfriends were all released in the 90s, among many other turds. And finally, we have the worst picture of the 2000s, Battlefield Earth, a film it is baffling I have not reviewed, and a film that came out in the same decade as Chicken Little, Disaster Movie (and Seltzerbergs other works), The Master of Disguise, Eragon, Doogal, The Love Guru, Christmas with the Kranks, The Human Centipede, Crash, Teeth, Hounddog, The Golden Compass, Inkheart, Shark Tale, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Taintlight, and the Yu-Gi-Oh movie.
The Razzies fucking blow. Plain and simple. They’re basically a clickbait institution that chooses the most obvious choices, goes only after what’s big and will generate the most attention, and really makes it obvious that they don’t require the people on the nomination panel to actually watch the movies. Oh yeah. They don’t require the judges to watch the films.
But let’s bring it all back to Xanadu for one final tidbit: the guy who made the Razzies has admitted he occasionally pops in Xanadu to watch it. I think that says a lot about a lot of things. I’ll leave you all with that.

“Just play the damn game with me !” - Batmom x Damian
Damian is a brat, but I kinda want to hug him to death...Wait...Oh well, anyway, here’s a little story where Batmom (you) really wants to bond with the kid.
You can find my masterlist here : @ella-ravenwood-archives
_____________________________________________________________________
You had gotten it printed into your brain. It was too late now, you couldn’t forget your idea, no matter what. Bruce knew, and didn’t try to stop you from doing what you were gonna do anyway. Besides, he thought it was cute.
What was your idea ? Simple. Damian never had a normal childhood. He was still a kid, only eleven...So he still had a chance at having somewhat of a normal childhood (if you put his nightly activities on the side...and the fact that he had been raised to be a killer).
Against all odds, you and Damian clicked pretty fast. He warmed up to you the fastest...He felt like you were the only one of the bat family not judging him in any way.  Also, you told him off when he was going to far, and he found that he couldn’t speak badly to you, that you had an effect on him that made him want to be nicer. Better...In a word, you quickly became his mommy.
He never really had an actual mother. Talia wasn’t exactly loving with him, and she did try to kill him a few times, succeeding once (a memory you don’t like to remember). You were the first one, even before Bruce or Dick, to make him feel loved and to make him feel what love really was...How could he resist that ?
The first time he called you “mom”, not “mother”, “mom”, you cried, and the poor boy thought he did something wrong. You explained to him that it was “happy tears”, but you’re not sure he understood. He gave you an awkward hug, and you couldn’t stop but smile. It’s that exact moment that forged the idea of trying to show him what a normal childhood was. But, even though he considered you his mom, he wasn’t going to make things easy for you and your plans.
******************
It started out horribly wrong. Damian refused every single propositions you made with a : “that’s too childish” full of rogue, and you got frustrated, ending up yelling a lot of “just play the damn game with me !” and other “Oh my God it’s a snowball it’s not going to kill you, just throw another snowball at me, not a fucking batarang !”...You felt childish. You quickly realized you weren’t going to help him have a normal childhood by trying to force him to do stuffs, and so you stopped. Instead, decided to lure him in with cake...One day, you made a nice one that smelled too good, and he couldn’t help but come in the kitchen, following the smell to the living room where you were eating it. Next thing he knows, he’s sitting next to you, eating a giant piece of cake, watching a disney movie.
And it ended up being a ritual. Every Saturday morning (”mornings” at the Wayne’s ended at 4pm), you and Damian took the habit of waking up earlier than everyone else to cook a cake or some cookies. You’d then eat it all, just the two of you, in front of a Disney movie. Your youngest NEVER saw one before...he actually never watched any animated movies or cartoons. So obviously, you took it upon yourself to show him of course, and you started with your favorite : (your favorite Disney film).
The first time you did that, Damian didn’t really react. He ate the cake, watched the film...and then just left without a word. You were disappointed, thinking he probably didn't enjoy himself at all, and went back to bed to Bruce’s arms, a bit beat down. Your husband did his best to make you forget and feel better, and he did wonderfully, definitely succeeding.  
However you were wrong thinking Damian didn't enjoy himself, because the next Saturday, he came down in the kitchen to find it empty. He quickly went to your room, where fortunately you and Bruce were just sleeping, and gently woke you up.
-Mom, can we make chocolate chip cookies ? And watch another one of those movies you like ? Please ?
Your heart sunk with happiness, and you left Bruce’s arms, ignoring his groan, to follow your son. This was the first step, spending times with him, enjoying doing something just the two of you. As the Saturdays went on, Damian opened more and more, and stayed at the end of the movie to speak about it with you. At first he was sitting at the opposite side of the couch from you, but week after week, he came closer, until one day, he just laid his head on your shoulder, and let you run your hand tenderly threw his hair.
His favorite Disneys were “Treasure Planet” and “The Lion King”. You were even pretty sure you saw him cry while watching the latter. It made you smile, and at the same time, you realized those movies being his favorite made sense. Both were about boys with daddy issues who were rebels and got in trouble until they did their best to get better.
*******************
-You’re cute.
Bruce was looking at you lovingly, leaning on the door frame of the bathroom, arms crossed, while you were rushing to put some clothes on.You just glared at him, the man made you late. He wasn’t suppose to come home that early, and while you were getting ready for an important appointment, he arrived in your shared bedroom where you were in underwear, getting dressed...and he had been unable to stop himself from jumping on you. Making you rush now to try and not be late.
-You’re very cute.
-Shut up Bruce, and out of my way, I gotta go.
You grabbed your purse and ran out...Tried to ran out, as he caught one of your wrist.
-Bruce I have to...
He crashed his lips on yours, pulling you into a passionate French kiss. After a few seconds, he let go off you, and you couldn’t help but smile.
-Thank you Y/N. Really. You don’t have to do all of that and yet...Thank you.
-Don’t thank me babe, because I do have to do all of that. He’s my son too now. I did that with all of them...granted, Damian is a bit more difficult.
He pulled you in for another kiss but you escaped, because you really were going to be late if he kept going on like this. As you ran out of the room, he called back to you :
-I love you !
He heard your faint voice from down the corridor answering with a heartfelt :
-I love you too.
And you were out of the house.
**********************
-You’re late.
-I know, I’m sorry Dami’. Blame your father.
-...Ew.
-...Hum...Shall we go ?
He nodded and, hands in his pocket, followed you, a bit grumpy that he had to wait for you. He hated waiting. But you decided that maybe it wasn’t so bad for him to learn to be more patient.
Today, you were suppose to pick him up right after school to go at the fun fair, but Bruce made you almost an hour late. To be honest, you didn’t realize it was that late, too...caught up in your Bruce’s arms. You definitely made amend though.
Damian would never admit it, but he spent one of the best evening ever. He won a gigantic teddy bear for you at some dart games, and you guys went on absolutely all of the rides with only one minor incident. When you went to the haunted mansion, Damian kinda...punched one of the actor in the face, out of reflexes. You paid him off to shut up, and scolded your son for his behavior (when really it was kinda funny, the scream he let out just before punching the man). You bought him every treats he wanted, totally spoiling him but hey...it was his first fun fair. It was one of his first time actually just having fun for the sake of it, in a normal place for a kid to have fun, and not because he was fighting or something. Bruce gave him a night off, and both of you didn't even notice the bat signal as you were having just the time of your life.
You came home late to an almost empty mansion. Alfred was there, and he made you some hot cocoa. You watched a pixar film and fell asleep on the couch, Damian’s head resting in your laps.
When Bruce and the other boys came home, they stopped to stare at you guys, because you were too damn cute. Dick smiled and said :
-It reminds me of when I first arrived here...Snacks and Disney movies...I kinda miss those times. Sometimes, I wish I could be a kid again.
Jason gave him a pat on the back.
-Yeah, it was pretty awesome alright.
Tim was also feeling a bit nostalgic, but didn’t say anything by fear of waking you guys up. As Bruce bent down to pick Damian up, he woke up.
-Father.
-Hey bud’.
-Mom and I had a great time at the fair.
He was sleepy, and his voice was weak.
-Did you, now ?
-Yeah, she’s awesome.
-That we agree on son, she is.
He took him to bed, and surprisingly, Damian let him tuck him in. He fell back asleep almost instantly. Bruce then went back to pick YOU up, and found you awake, talking with your eldest sons.
-You know guys, if you miss it that much, you can just join us on Saturdays. It could be cool.
-Naaah mom, those times are for you and the brat. I mean, it wouldn’t be fair otherwise. We all had you saving our childhood, he should too.
You smiled at Jason who just spoke, and stroked his cheek gently.
-I just don’t want you guys to feel left out.
-We really don’t, believe me. Besides, we all had the same thing ? Good old...hum...young mom taking us to the fair, watching movies with us...just with one of us, each times. Quality times equally shared. We all had you, and we can definitely share a little more with Dams, really.
You stroked Tim’s cheek now. Smiling lovingly at him. It was true that what you were doing with Damian, you did with all of them. They all needed a “somewhat normal childhood”...You were a mom, you gave it to them as best you could.
-I don’t have anything to say, but can I have my mom’s pat on the cheek too ?
Dick said as he bent down in front of you. You all laughed and after a kiss goodnight, they left to go for a deep slumber in their bedroom.
Bruce approached you, and you raised your arms for him to come crash into it. You liked feeling his weight on you, even though he was a heavy man because of all those damn muscles. It felt secure.
He laid his head on your chest, and you gently ran your hand threw his hair. He gave a pleased sigh, completely relax.
-Again, thank you honey.
-And again, there’s not reasons to thank me.
-Yes there is. I don’t know if you get how important you are to all members of this family. You all gave us a purpose. You’re...You’re the reason we don’t all go crazy. You makes us feel you know...So much feels...
You didn’t answer, just smiled and kiss the crown of his head, gently caressing his hair, just like you did with Damian. It seemed like this gesture was extremely soothing to the Wayne boys. You both fell asleep on the couch, and the next day, which was a Saturday, Damian woke you up. Bruce groaned as he stood up to leave, but his son awkwardly held his hand, signifying to him that he wanted him to stay. Your husband was so surprised he just flopped down back into the couch, and stayed silent staring blankly at the TV that was turned off while you and Damian baked.
And so, from now on, Bruce participated in your special Saturdays.
Actually, from now on Bruce got very involved in trying to get Damian to live a normal childhood, realizing how it started to slowly change his son’s behavior for the best. And realizing the amount of effort you put in it. He was amazed at Damian’s response really, how he laughed more often, and pulled (harmless) pranks on his brothers, Alfred and on Bruce himself. How he was less violent, and a bit less serious. It was definitely the Y/N’s effect. You had the same on him. When you weren’t there, he was all serious and broody, almost mean, and when you were around, he couldn’t help but smile stupidly and laugh at your dumb jokes. The Y/N’s effect was strong.
*****************
It took a long time for Damian to finally let go and start to act like a normal child, but he made it. You helped him tremendously. Bruce and your other sons did too. Dick taught him how to ride a bike, Jason took him to the cinema often, Tim played soccer with him. Bruce was particularly involved with everything, as he realized the importance of it all. He wished he had had a Y/N in his life when he was a kid, as he too didn’t really enjoy his childhood after his parents’ death...but he at least got 8 great years, and he was determined to let Damian have his 8 great years too. 10 to 18. A bit more if he wanted.
Family game night was a thing now, and when he lost, Damian almost completely stopped throwing a (scary) tantrum. You all spent more times together as a result of all of those effort to get Damian to live a bit more normally, and it was so worth it.
You were so proud. Of course, it didn’t completely change his behavior and such, as his time with the Al Ghul was almost printed into his brain, but it really helped him be more social. It helped him learn how to love, and how to feel more. It just helped him, and one day, when he’d be old enough to realize all of that, he’d thank you with a warm hug and “happy tears” in his eyes, finally understanding. And you’d tell him that there was nothing to thank. He was your son, what you were doing was normal.
FIN.
