#Best grandfather

[violent138]

A nefarious, as yet unknown Gotham villain sends a message to the Batcave that the annual Gotham Easter egg hunt contains eggs that are poisonous/explosive. Jason and Dick are annoyed that a city like Gotham even has an Easter Egg hunt, while Damian reports that all his classmates and definitely half the city's children will be scouring the streets for eggs.

"Idiots." He scoffed, shaking his head. "Egg hunting is a massive waste of time."

"Yes, thanks Damian, that's what we need to hear right now." Tim smiled flatly at him, predicting where this was going.

In order to avoid panic due to the unconfirmed possible bombs, the Batfamily splits into teams to go find eggs, check them and return them back to the hiding places if they aren't explosive. The news picks up on it, rather confused to see the Red Robin, Spoiler, Signal, Orphan and Robin at it, but whatever they're kids. And Orphan looks particularly delighted to find eggs before hiding them somewhere better and Signal lights up the eggs a little and charms the kids.

However, Red Hood and Nightwing look a little more ridiculous, especially since Batman decided to scour the city for the villain instead of the eggs.

"No because he'a a [Censored] coward." Red Hood grumbles to a reporter when asked if Batman will also be participating.

"Oh look I found another one." Nightwing reported excitedly in the same broadcast and Red Hood immediately goes over, both of them examining it.

The side effect of them being out is that more kids decide to look for eggs. There's a mild panic and Steph questions the logic of not telling people the eggs are maybe bombs.

The day comes to a nail-biting end with zero maiming and Alfred reveals it was him and that he threw a pretty extravagant dinner to reward them for their hunting.

Bruce snickers at the look on the kids' faces.

Yuji's family becomes more complicated when you realize that because Kenjaku also possessed Suguru's body, the Hasaba twins are like his adoptive sisters.

Tbh it really is something to have grandmothers (one late 70s other late 80s) who are in better shape than you are, like I go see my grandma and we walk somewhere and i'll be panting before she's even slightly out of breath and it's not like she's in the best of conditions either, and then don't even get me started on my other grandma, she still does sports.

Fanfic Idea! (ABO Lucemond, Pearl of the Sea Snake, of the Seven Tides, of the Realm Itself)

The day the rumors proclaimed that bringing a casket of pearls can help better their chances of being granted an audience with the Lord of the Tides was the day pearls almost ceased to exist anywhere else but in Driftmark.

It all started when Lord Corlys noticed little Lucerys' fascination with the seas' treasure. Every time he was presented with pearls, he would hold it up to the sun with awe and delight in his eyes.

So of course, being the wonderful, favorite grandfather that he is, Lord Corlys would order his ships to bring at least a casket of pearls every time they travel. One merchant caught wind of this, and, needing Lord Corlys' favor, brought an entire casket filled with colored pearls, a rarity that the merchant never wished to part with, but would for the chance to be granted an audience (and possible favor) of the Lord of the Tides.

Lord Corlys, after handing over the casket of colored pearls to little Lucerys' and noticing the shine in his eyes, grant audience with the merchant. Word travelled, and by the time Lucerys was old enough to shadow his grandfather as his heir, the pearls became a symbol of status because of it's extreme rarity outside of Driftmark, even the wealthiest house could only ever have one small pearl as a sign of their nobility, given to the master of the house.

Lucerys was known as the Pearl, sometimes of the Sea Snake, sometimes of the Seven Seas, sometimes of the Realm Itself. He was never without pearls, on his neck, on his ears, his grandfather even ordered the smiths to create a crown embedded in pearls (despite the refusal of Lucerys and the warnings of Rhaenys), ordered the dressmakers to create dresses designed with the pearls, hells, once Lucerys' hair grew, he asked to have pearls braided into his hair. It was a hilarious day when Lucerys asked to braid pearls on Corlys' hair, for despite Lucerys' subpar efforts, Lord Corlys wore the braids and pearls proudly, to the exasperation of Rhaenys and to the amusement of the rest of his grandchildren.

Some may call it an extreme amount of flaunting, as even one pearl could feed a smallfolk for ten years, some may say it was worth it, seeing how Lucerys' was quite the sight, painters and musicians see him as their muse, as they create art about their Pearl of the Realms, but Lord Corlys paid no heed to their words, because the sight of a smiling grandson draped in pearls was a sight he loved the most.

When Aemond married Lucerys, Corlys sent an entire casket of gold pearls to Lucerys, the rarest type of pearl he could find. His pride couldn't have match the very seas he sailed on when he saw his grandson wear the gold pearls, though he did felt annoyance when he saw said pearls also braided into Aemond's hair.

Lucerys began braiding Aemond's hair with pearls every day, saying it suits him more (it does not, at least, in Corlys' eyes). Corlys will begrudgingly admit that the sight of both of them with pearls on their hair warms his heart, a new family tradition born out of (his) love.

When Lucerys and Aemond had children of their own, they too, wore pearls on their hair (Lucerys had to be extra careful to make sure the pearls stay on the hair, seeing how rambunctious they were). The children were a delight to Corlys, he even allowed them to braid the pearls on his hair, and though he looked absolutely ridiculous and Rhaenys was close to laughter every time Corlys allowed them anywhere near his hair, he still wore it the entire day with pride (the entire night consisted of Rhaenys carefully de-tangling Corlys' hair and trying to make sure they wouldn't need to cut it off).

When Corlys passed, and Lucerys was made the new Lord of the Tides, he still wore the pearls. Once, Aemond did ask why Lucerys always wore pearls in the first place, and Lucerys just shrugged.

He didn't know either, but ever since he could remember, his grandfather always gifted him pearls, and he loved when his grandfather was happy, so he accepted it all. Now that his grandfather was gone, Lucerys wore the pearls to feel his grandfather's presence, to find comfort and strength as he ruled Driftmark the way Corlys has taught him to. He wished to pass this on to his children, so they too, may find comfort and strength from the pearls once he too would pass one day, and Aemond agreed.

What influenced me today:

[icouldbeaduck]

if you asked me about crystal clear, i’d say it’s a great song. but if you asked me how i really felt i’d tell you that it’s truly one of the greatest love songs ever written and maybe even better than the only exception

[wi1dshxpe]

durge and orin being siblings has to be the best thing that ever happened to bhaal. i just know their fighting for daddy’s approval would immediately outshine any criticism they had of him. like orin is sad she killed the girl she was seeing because it was getting too serious and goes to durge for support. durge gives a solid twenty seconds of reassurance before lying about how that has never happened to them before. orin backtracks and changes her story because it was actually awesome and poetic, really! durge calls her out. the entire thing turns into a petty verbal slap fight before they can even think about how much it sucks they can’t/aren’t allowed to maintain meaningful relationships. another time durge casually laments they never have time for hobbies. orin says she doesn’t need hobbies, murder is her entire life, durge calls art her hobby, orin calls her art worship, somehow sceleritas ends up stabbed. basically the two of them successfully pivot from a valid complaint to “look dad i love murder, dad, dad, look dad i’m better at murder than my sibling.” every time any crappy aspect of being a bhaalspawn comes up

If/when I ever get to play Fear and Hunger, I'm probably gonna pick Enki to play as first.

I know. PROBABLY the hardest starting character, but I've played Waste of Skin class in Bloodborne.

Close-ups! (Except for the eye. I was practicing how to draw his eyes.)

Time-warped or travel scenario where Bruce gets launched back into a younger version of himself with all the memories and the first thing he does is goes and gets Dick Grayson right after his parents' death, then pick up Jason, arrange about a million playmates to get Tim out of his house, and once he has those kids happy and taken care of, he goes off to find Cass, helps Steph with her dad, and leaves a very pointed voice-mail for Talia.

Alfred thinks he's more mentally ill than usual for knowing exactly which orphans and as he pointedly reminds Bruce, "children whose parents are still very much alive" he's trying to steal and adopt.

Bruce heatedly replies that they're his kids and that he's going to do everything right this time, rendering Alfred absolutely speechless until Bruce asks if Alfred would be able to make dinner for his new brood of kids.

"Try and remember who you're speaking to Master Bruce, I've thrown dinner parties with less notice"

"Great because I have a list of allergies and some notes on favourite foods."

(signs heavily because i am passionate about this) so i want to point out the slight difference in vocals that grandfather spider had during his time in the Hive as Old Cob vs. when he's loose in the Spiral as Grandfather Spider

so like. this could entirely just be me living in a fantasy rainbow land but i swear there is a SLIGHT change. in the Hive, Old Cob's voice sounds a bit more monotone, husky, and raspy. like he hasn't spoken in a long time. he sounds like how people sound when they first get up in the morning. it's a bit rougher. it feels like his voice is lightly scratching my ears and brain like one of those sponges.

(this could also be part of an act to seem more harmless to us)

but then his later appearances, ALL OF THAT is gone. Spider's voice is still super deep but he has more inflections in it. he doesn't sound like before where it seemed like it was an effort to even speak, he sounds more lively now. his voice is smoother and it slides up and down effortlessly, like he's feeling more emotion. and he is. he was literally and figuratively set free and now he can act however he wants.

he's also speaking a bit more quickly. in the Hive it felt like he was taking just a nanosecond longer to pronounce things than his later appearances

he even laughs more once he's out of prison. albeit like only twice but he has a few chuckles in there. spider also sounds more playful, especially when he's interacting with mellori OR ESPECIALLY THE WIZARD. his mirage dialogue was INSANE!!!!! HE SOUNDED MOCKING!!!! HE WAS HAVING FUN AND I COULD HEAR IT- sorry.

so the point of this entire essay is, i feel like his change in voice and inflections really fit what was going on in the story. just being released out of the void + trying to appear a certain way vs. finally being free to express his true emotions and thoughts/having more practice at talking. i could be imagining this,

Don't mind me. I'm gonna be obnoxiously posting my favorite pictures I took from Spa for the next few days.

!!!! What if in Fawn Spots Harry wasn’t the only one with godly relatives.

It’s more common than one might think. After all the gods have been around for a long time and had plenty of children over the centuries who went on to have children of their own. It’s only that, somewhere along the line the more mortal of those children forgot they had once come from gods and the gods… it hurt to love and lose time and time again. To know there was little they could do to spare their children and their children’s children the passage of time.

But not every family forgot and they more often than not it were blessed, or cursed depending on who was asked, with power most could not understand.

Including one little seer chasing creatures only she could see and giving warnings so few would listen to. But Harry listened.

Harry who knows from enough time around Olympus to listen to what isn’t said. Who knows that seers, true seers, always have a draw back to their power. Who stands beside his new friend at all of twelve years old and refuses to let her feel alone and other.

And Luna who looks at him and wonders if this is what her creatures were trying to tell her when they spoke of a great friendship in her future.

Okay but good ending teen pregnancy when Ford comes back out of the portal, Stan is so excited to introduce their kids back into his life and have him meet his (great?) grandchildren

I MISSED ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT MY ORIGINAL AU I HAVE SOME LEFTS STILL BUT IM STILL KEEPING THEM UNTIL I HAVE THE ENERGY TO ASK THEM 😭😭 Anyway THANK YOU THANK YOU ANON i really want to expand about this au!!!💖💖💖💖

So you see, In the teen dads au Ford's is still a mediocre father but not because he was violent or something but because he was absent in most of the life of his kids (even if it's not fully his fault) and his years separated with stan also make his relationship kinda hostile like in canon but less worst because he doesn't have so much resentment unlike the original ford had towards stanley. But even if Ford isn't so mad with Stanley because he also helped fucking up his own future Stanley IS madder than in canon with ford because now it's not only a thing of if he thanked him or not but for the bad father he was leaving him and his daughter for ten years without trying to contact them and also leaving the other kid he keep with his broken family while he was at that fancy college he dreamed about and then became crazy when he saw him again (of course,stan didn't know the full story and the fact ford was also kicked out and all the thing with bill lol), he wanted him back sure because he's still important to him but he's the one who was more defensive towards him and that protectiveness same in canon go for the kids, who he told him where his great-nephews because nor dipper and mabel know that stanley was actually his great-grandfather, he didn't let ford finish to ask of who if they were the only brothers they had or if ma had another baby but he will explain him that later when no one's around.

Stanley always wanted to get ford back and try to make things right again and raise their kids together as a family but things have changed a lot now and now he's not sure, seems its to late now and his family grew without the knowledge of Ford's existence. Shermie and Mariana can't remember him really because they're already grown ups and had their own life with only one father figure, Shermie decided to keep the lie he grow up with to his new family because he honestly didn't want his kid and grandchildren knew he was a product of an incest relationship of Stan with a twin he didn't even know existed (he loves stan and he knows he's his Pa, but he's also too normal to not be kinda ashamed of that and thinks it would be too confused to his kids anyway 🤷) and nor any of them could feel anything to ford because even if he was his other dad they'd really didn't meet him more than 2 years when they were babies.

About dipper and Mabel he's still protective, he's not sure if he wants that crazy guy that's always with dangerous creatures around him be near his great grandkids. He's happy with knowing that Ford was fine but honestly he wasn't so much to introduce him again to the family, he was, but that was 30 years ago. His kids are adults now, his grandson was also an adult and his great grandkids didn't know the truth, Ford seems to be more interested in continuing with those stupid journals anyway that spent time with his family. Stan was kinda sad ford didn't become the father or grandfather he dreamed once and wasn't sure if he would be a good great grandfather now even if it was a secret, his priority was to let the kids be safe, and Ford wasn't a safe place for them. He used to.

He may love ford, but he had to think of the sake of his family and be careful with a man he hasn't see in more than three decades.
