#BUT BASICALLY THAT ZOE DOESN'T END UP LIVING WITH HER DAD AGAIN

[themightymoose]

The Nest Hats Craze

I love that they can just burst into Blythe's room whenever they want

Sunil wtf is that face stop it

He would look good in a hat if he didn't wear that fucking face okay

Russell crushed Vinnie's 💀

Blythe doesn't even care anymore

Is Blythe the only teenager there

Damn they knocked her into a tree

Is she okay

"Actually I haven't 😃!" Damn get humbled girlies

"Actually no 😃!" This keeps getting funnier

This lady is speaking truth rn

Everyone's so excited to see her on TV

"Seriously this is just a nest on my head." I love that line delivery sm

At least she's trying

How did no one notice there was an egg in there

Pepper and Vinnie knowing it's immediately a bad idea to leave a fragile egg with them

Fisher actually making them replace Blythe's phone and being mad when they told her the story

Makes me wonder how they ended up this way when their dad isn't like how I thought he would be

Maybe there's something with their mom who knows

"We didn't even know he knew that word." So kinda sounds like Fisher spoiled them and that's why they act like that

Makes sense honestly

They literally forced Blythe into their limo

DID THEY KIDNAP HER???

Everyone hating on the Biskits is so fucking funny

I'm still reeling about how they basically kidnapped Blythe

"You gotta stay still or else the egg will never get warm!" Vinnie with the brain cell I see

Sunil is like a nervous father here I live that for him

Zoe has a mailman chew toy

So she has a squeaky hamburger, lobster, and now mailman

Now Russell is a father :)

I'm so proud of him

They are literally keeping her their against her will this is a crime I swear

Pebble is an adorable name

He's such a dad 😭😭😭

This bird was born literally fifteen seconds ago how can he walk and talk or understand what Russell is telling him

He's so fucking encouraging

Russell is definitely the mom/dad friend of the group

Vinnie is actually being smart in this episode wow

THEY TIED HER UPPPP????

They need to be sued or something oh my god this is a felony

They are literally victim blaming her

"I don't care about a smoothie!" Me too I hate smoothies

Blythe girlboss moment

Yes girl get out of your hostage situation

Sunil did research 🥺

They are literally dads now

Sassy Sunil my beloved

"I'm a guy nothing grosses us out!" Russell I thought you were the smart one

"I'm a lousy mother..." NOOOOO DON'T SAY THAT AT LEAST YOU'RE TRYING

He should watch that one Bluey Baby Race episode me thinks

Everyone is being harassed by angry birds

*gasp* Angry Birds....

Blythe you could possibly be at risk for being kidnapped again you should be more scared

"When are you two gonna get it through your very large heads-" lol

Everyone probably has a fear of birds now

"The birds weren't attacking anyone, they just wanted to nest in the hats!" Yeah I thought that was kinda clear

Oh my god the baby's name was Hubble

Whoops

The ladies chasing Blythe are probably giving her flashbacks to when she was LITERALLY KIDNAPPED

I'm sorry I don't think this is something I'll ever get over

i hate this paper i'm writing and i'm sick of looking at it. could i ask for some fun facts about julian and niko? anything you want to tell me, i'll take ANYTHING.

On the one hand, I feel like I shouldn't distract you from what you should be doing. But on the other hand, I empathize and will take absolutely any excuse to talk about Julian and Niko - if you don't mind I'm just going to throw out some basic stuff because it's been so long. But do your paper, okay? You'll feel so much better once it's done. Cut to save a life (and your dash).

Julian's a musician - he's the lead singer, songwriter and guitarist for a band that he started with his best friend Saoirse, called fables. Other core members include Zoe (Saoirse's girlfriend), Annika, Lachlan and Avery. They've released five studio albums, and tour regularly. He's also an artist - he's done most of the band's promotional materials, merch designs, album covers, etc. and occasionally does work on commission. Niko is an art historian and museum curator (he has his PhD), and works as the chief curator at the largest art museum in New Islington.

Julian's family... are sort of evenly split between absolutely awful and wonderful. His bio-mom is (well, was - I ended up killing her off during the pandemic because honestly, she needed to go) pretty much evil and his dad was an extreme enabler of her narcissism and abuse. They're slowly developing a bit of a relationship again now that Julian's mom is gone, but they were essentially no-contact for years. On the other hand, his aunt (dad's sister) Clare and her wife Ana are fantastic. They basically acted as his second moms as much as they could during his childhood and teenage years and their home was always a refuge for him when he could get away. Niko's family is great, even if his relationship with his father has had some rough spots. His dad's really not bad, but he's very high-achieving and always expected that out of Niko as well. Very much a "where are the other two points?????" person if Niko brought home a 98% on a test, and while Niko's always been very academically and achievement-oriented, it wore on him a lot when he was younger. Niko's family still lives in Greece, so Julian's aunt Ana has basically adopted him as her own honorary son - they're thick as thieves.

Niko's favorite flower are sunflowers, and Julian's are tulips. Julian loves roses and peonies as well, but don't give him lilies.

They both share a love of traveling and are lucky enough that they both have to do quite a bit for work. Julian will often join Niko on work trips if he can, and it's not at all uncommon for Niko to fly out for a few days at the end of a tour so they can explore whatever city the band's in. They're all about the local culture when they travel - they'll check out a few museums and monuments, go on neighborhood walking tours to look at beautiful architecture and learn about the history of wherever they are, go to lectures and concerts, and spend their evenings checking out fun little wine or cocktail bars and local restaurants. Neither of them are beach people. Julian burns so easily even with sunscreen, and Niko's really not a fan of getting sand everywhere. Plus, they both find lying there listening to the ocean boring.

One thing they don't share is their feelings on birthdays. Niko is such a birthday person. The anniversary of his fabulous self being unleashed upon the world? Heck yeah, he's going to celebrate. He doesn't go as far as having a birthday month, but he definitely has a birthday week and will usually have multiple celebrations with different friend groups. He's such an extrovert, has tons of friends and wants to see everyone. They throw a big, fancy party every year for his birthday and he looks forward to it and works on planning it down to every last detail for months in advance. Julian, on the other hand... he has a lot of complicated feelings surrounding his birthday. Between how awful his mom always made it for him, and then how his shitty ex-boyfriend would be on his birthday, he used to prefer ignoring it entirely. He's come to enjoy a smaller, more low-key celebration with Clare, Ana and his bandmates and then a fancy birthday night with just Niko but it's taken him a while to get there. And he does not want a big, fancy party like his husband does - Niko made the mistake of planning him one the first year they were together and, while Julian did his best to enjoy it and be grateful, it really wasn't his thing at all and he asked Niko to please never do that again. It was just so stressful and anxiety-inducing for him.

Julian's asthmatic just in case that's relevant to anyone's interests. Also, an insomniac. Both are relatively well-controlled usually, but he'll have insomnia flare-ups a few times a year and his asthma acts up more if he's sick.

Niko's had a bit of a bad back ever since he threw it out at work helping to move a few big pieces for an exhibit the museum was putting on. He's been through a lot of physical therapy for it, had an injection or two and has (mostly) controlled it ever since with yoga, swimming, regular massages and occasional courses of anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxants when it's flaring up. Julian's started doing yoga with him, although he's really more into it for the stress reduction benefits. He does it every night before bed and it's helped a lot with his sleep issues.

I know there's SO much more I could talk about for them, but my brain's doing the "Jules and Niko? I have never met them in my entire life" thing right now and I think I need to take a break. But I hope you enjoyed this!

p.s. Go write your paper if you haven't by now!

[heckcduparchived]

a starter loosely inspired by this prompt for [ @warringhearts ]

We'll be together soon.

Those words were something that Zoe had clung to for the next few years. Holding out hope and trying really hard to believe that he meant it. That it would be soon. Soon turned into some day and some day turned into today though. The day that she was finally reunited with her father... all grown up-- or so she'd like to say now that she was in her teen years. Wearing a mask that could almost mirror his in this life threatening situation.

She wondered if he knew that she knew it was him.

"Did you promise that girl she'll be with her father soon?" Zoe couldn't help but say from behind her mask. Having just watched him protect a little girl during this city's current attack. There were enough over the years that she wanted to start doing what she could to protect it. Even if she wasn't positive he would approve.

"Because I know one little girl that's still waiting." She said after she confirmed that they were alone right now so she could reach up and lift the mask off of her face to give him a better look.
