What is your earliest childhood memory? 🐣🐥
My earliest memory is watching MTV in the early 90s, exclusively Beavis and Butthead and Ren and Stimpy. The earliest thing I can remember is a Beavis and Butthead music video commentary where Henry Rollins is yelling at me. Lmao

Hong Kong pls!
Hong Kong: What is your earliest childhood memory?
Hah! This one is always fun. My earliest childhood memory is lying in my crib in my sister's room at the house I grew up in. It was dark - not really pitch black-dark, but the curtains in that room were drawn and they were thick ones, light just coming in from the edges of them.
But in my crib, I was probably 2ish (maybe younger), and I watched as a quarter-sized spark/ball of fire rolled up from the edge of the mattress between it and the frame, and it rolled very slow where I could watch it. It just kept coming up the mattress until it pressed right into the sole of my right foot. I remember a spark-pinch and then warmth spreading up my leg.
I think the next earliest thing I remember is being about three or four and attempting to drive the house - aka I put a key into one of the light sockets.
Thank you for the ask!
Pretty City Asks.

Prompt:
The first mission the Court send their newly minted Talon on is an assassination attempt on the ward of one Bruce Wayne… Dick Grayson.
Calvin— can’t kill Dick. He can’t.
He didn’t know it would be the boy he grew up in the circus with they want him to murder in cold blood. He didn’t know— didn’t recognize him until the knife was already at his throat.
But he remembers now. And he won’t do it. Never. Never.
He’ll run. Disappear. Dick doesn’t know who he is, it’s better that way, and if he’s lucky the Court will be too busy hunting him to care about the failed assassination.
Unfortunately for Calvin, Dick does remember; Recognizes the Talon.
And he’s not inclined to let his childhood best friend slip through his fingers again after years of believing him dead.
#IT’S CANON THEY KNEW EACH OTHER#if only because they were in the same circus at the same time#but still it COUNTS! 😭😭😭#there’s only a handful of fics tangentially featuring Calvin and so help me I will RECTIFY THAT#Calvin Rose#my sweet summer child#expect more prompts featuring him guys#and fics#also Dick totally throws the Talon at Bruce and Bruce’s adoption instincts kick in point blank#like sorry but that’s a traumatized teen and apparently his earliest childhood memory is being kept locked up in a cage like a dog#sorry Bruce you have another kid now#but at least he’s totally on board with your no kill rule! so there’s that#calvin not knowing his friend and new guardian are vigilantes is stressing him tf out#he’s sure he’s their last line of defense against the court#when in reality—- they’re very much keeping HIM safe#they’re hell bent on allowing him a normal life#prompts#dick grayson#batdad#bruce wayne#Batman#robin#Nightwing#talon#court of owls#batfam#I know this is a niche prompt but more people need to hear about Calvin rose#he’s such a sweetheart for real#presumed dead

on childhood best friends.
via ill give you the sun by jandy nelson // via the art of ponyo by hayao miyazaki // jack johnson, we're going to be friends // a message from my childhood best friend // mitski, i guess // via a little life by hanya yanagihara // adventure time, island song (come along with me) // via unknown // abba, chiquitita
#do you ever think about how momo was taught to weaponize her anger while mikan was taught to swallow his back. both as a means of survival#how momo probably admires mikans ability to hold it in. how mikan probably admires momos ability to release it all.#because i do. i think about it a lot#(BTW. IF YOU KNOW WHERE THE “let's go to the garden. let's be kids again. i'll chase you if you chase me.” IS FROM PLEEEASE LMK.)#the message is from the friend that inspired momo and mikan. btw she messaged me out of the blue and we chatted about our earliest memories#the whole “ohhh he came up to me offered me his hand and said you wanna go play with me because i was all alone” seems really unrealistic#BUT THATS. WHAT HAPPENED WITH US. WITH ME AND HER. i dont remember it very well which is funny and poetic in a sense. but SHE does... gugh#its because i was the one that went up to her... of course she remembers me offering her my hand because that meant the entire world to her#← OR SOMETHING. NEVER RUMINATE ON UR CHILDHOOD WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE its because my birthdays coming up im getting all weird. ugh#okay actual tags instead of my rambles...#web weaving#my wws#oc tag#momo tenki#mikan javier#on childhood friends#id in alt#nova noise#also hai sunny. (halo freak) one of these for kinzoku and gensou when. i will NEVER RECOVER#← silly slash lighthearted. i am just crazy over them you absolutely do not have to ^_^ i hope it doesnt come across that way

#thinking of dinosaurs and troodontids were my favorite dinosaurs as a child#when younger i had a real full troodontid tooth fossil that meant a lot to me#for a time we lived within a few kilometers of hadrosaur sites and troodontid sites#while wider general area had many sites of recovery for the big celebrities like tyrannosaur and multiple dromaeosaurs#at that time troodontids were kinda infamous for i think the depiction in some childrens field guides and dino books#which depicted like a fantasy speculative humanoid troodontid based on 1980s model at Canadian Museum of Nature in ottawa#anyway would visit a small local paleo center a lot and woman in her 70s or 80s ran the counter of their center and rock shop#one day she asked me what my fave dino was and i said troodon so she pulled out the tooth and just gifted it to me#in little black case size of ring box with padding and transparent plastic viewing cover kinda like laminate for displaying a trading card#tooth got stolen from out my vehicle while giving some people a ride while at university before i got too poor for tuition#later during first year of pandemic owner of my storage unit died and new property owners threw away everything i ever owned#i was homeless anyway lost job due to early pandemic closures and had to allocate any money to insulin and other prescrip meds#but wouldve found a way to save my things if the new owners had contacted me#they threw out photoalbums y backpacking gear y books y musical instruments y clothes y artwork y camera y all family keepsakes#and all childhood treasures like souvenirs and gifts and school awards and writing portfolios and all the little memories#which i was always sentimental about as child#from earliest age my room looked like a natural history museum with plants and maps and library of field guides#and rocks and field trip keepsakes and all kinds of little animal figurines and mother had painted room in forest greens and browns#to feel like a forest and among the succulent plants and a globe sat the troodon tooth#parents passed when i was a child#never near any family and were always moving never got to settle into proper stable place then father passed after long sad illness#and mother put in so much effort but she passed few years later and i could not take care of myself or my remaining material possessions#and so im still quite hurt having nothing whatsoever remaining of my childhood or school friends or mother or life generally#and when trying to process grief my thoughts often come back to the troodontid tooth as a focal point a distillation of what was lost#even when young i knew it was advised not to become too connected to material physical possessions#but still there are some small little trinkets in our lives that seem to hold so much meaning and i tortured myself for losing that tooth#thinking about troodon reminds me of childhood

i swear if you people start uwuifying OCD like you did with ADHD and autism I'm going to start attacking
#the general idea of what OCD is already so fucking wrong and harmful#if you start being like 'oh my little meow meow is so OCD' or 'its not a disorder its just a different way of thinking uwu'#I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL#ALL OF MY EARLIEST CHILDHOOD MEMORIES FROM AGE 3 AND UP ARE OF HAVING PANIC ATTACKS#PLEASE GO FUCK YOURSELVES THIS IS A MISERABLE FUCKING DISORDER ITS NOT CUTE ITS NOT QUIRKY ITS THE REASON I HAD GRAY HAIR AS A TEENAGER#i saw this like 'i let the intrusive thoughts win' isn't something people use all the time for like dying their fucking hair#its exhausting how many people what to be all 'mental illness needs to be more accepted'#and then in the next sentence want to deny that your mental illness is actually harmful to you and doesn't negatively affect you#and its just because society doesn't accept your different way of thinking uwu#NO I LITERALLY WOULD HAVE KILLED MYSELF AS A TEENAGER IF SOMEONE HAD CONVINCED ME THAT MY MENTAL ILLNESS WAS NORMAL AND FINE#figuring out that something was Wrong with my brain was like the best moment of my life#and this 'no you just think differently don't try to change' attitude may be helpful in SOME CASES#but that shit needs to me pulled back on A LOT online because that framing can be extremely harmful to some people (like me)#knowing exactly what is wrong with my brain is literally the only way I'm able to not let it affect me#and it not affecting me is literally the only way I can function and live happily#like you understand that some people do genuinely have things wrong with them#and telling them they don't is beyond cruel

i just. need a place where i can assess w/o crashing my phone or trying to export samsung files to my laptop
#laure amell#warden amell#dragon age#dragon age: origins#commander amell#atc arts#shes fantastic#she needs her sword :x i havent had the patience yet#but she's like. her earliest memories of templars are being snatched from her childhood bed in a thunderstorm bc she made sympathetic sparks#(dad called them)#then she was transferred to kinloch. the journey was rough. the templar accompanying her had no patience for children at all#her hair got lopped off. they arrived. when greagoir brought her to irving for introductions they were interrupted#by jowan and surana#fighting over a lyrium potion. jowan trips on irving's robe. laure tries to dodge him but trips on greagoir's ankle#the bottle flies out of jowan's grip and breaks over laure's head. she collapses- unconscious- lyrium potion seeping into her scalp#she woke a week later with white hair and scars on her head. and jowan at her heel begging forgiveness#until irving had her tell him of her time in kirkwall - and then made her his personal apprentice. then jowan's thing became ~inferiority~

mother's ranting at my dad about how i need to get put on disability and "think of the future" and how horrifying and deranged and "killing her" i am again because i disagreed with her about how oil rigs are built after 20 minutes of her randomly voicing her out of context reactions to clickbait articles at me while i quietly made breakfast and she decided that meant i've been Harassing Her All Day and therefore every single interaction now needs to be a fight (preferably about immigrants somehow) again
she's also for some reason absolutely convinced that i'm "just mad because the toaster broke and taking it out on her"
i was... never even really upset about the toaster at all?? she was significantly more bothered by it than i was. like i can't even really say i felt even mildly annoyed by it? vaguely momentarily inconvenienced, at most, and i forgot about it entirely within like two minutes. trying to get a straight answer out of her about if i could safely put the slightly warmed bread back afterwards was significantly more irritating. but i guess anything goes in her mind if it means she can blame anything other than herself and make me look insane in the process, and so she's going around insisting to everyone that i'm an evil psycho that's "Abusing" her because i'm So Mad About The Toaster and the worst part is i know literally everyone and ESPECIALLY any hypothetical psych workers is going to believe her over me no matter what.
it's been like 20 minutes and she's still going on about how i need to "be an adult" and "plan for the future" and what a burden i am. at this point i'm convinced she gets off on going on like this about me.
#this woman has literally been accusing me of killing her with stress since i was 2#and has been insistent i'm doing so on purpose for equally long#she spent my whole childhood constantly telling me that she's going to be dead within the next two years because i'm such a horrible#and “difficult” child#just yesterday when i complained that even since i was a toddler people have never liked me and always treated me as less than human#she told me “weeeeelllll you are and were a very *difficult* person”#this is always her response to everything#that people as a whole are fully justified in treating me like an inherent threat no matter what all the time because i'm “difficult”#i was a fucking toddler#and even then my earliest memories

sigh. so it's come to this has it. my life has arrived at the stage in which i am an absolute Tolkien nerd. alright then
#i am ok with this#i just. there are certain things that i care about enough to drop everything and rant about#air pollution. certain historical events. uuuummmmmm other things probably idk#im never aware of it until it happens. infodump mode can not be activated with love. only with setting the record straight#and now this is officially one of those things. alright then.#i was pretty happy that it was pretty much all stuff that never gets brought up casually for any reason but ok. alright.#just like how that post says it LOOKS LIKE he didn't even *start* it until age 45 but the roots of what made that world#stretched all the way back to childhood#so too my love for the things he made go back to my earliest memories. so really this was an inevitable thing#and a natural thing that i needed much growing up before i could appreciate them in this way#I'm not.. trying to say it's sophisticated or anything ........ just that this is more of a logical progression of things for me personally

When I was a little girl, around 6-8 years old, my parents would take me shopping for clothes so often, and I remember that I would go into the changing room, put the pants on, they won't feel right so I would just cry, and I would get out of the changing room in tears, and obviously the shop keeper would be freaking out and my mom would be embarrassed, and everyone is asking me what's wrong but I didn't have the words. All I would say is " it doesn't feel right " chocking up on my tears.
I also remember, around the same age and even later, when my mom is styling my hair for school, she'd put it into one braid and I would cry my eyes out as soon as she'd finish saying " it's not right in the middle, it doesn't feel right" and she would try to convince me that the braid is right in the middle of the back of my head but I would keep saying " it doesn't feel right " chocking up on my tears.
Twenty something years later, the pants and the braid became situations and actions toward me, and I find myself, the same little girl in the suffocating changing room, the same little girl in our living room in her school uniform, screaming internally that " it doesn't feel right " chocking up on her tears.
#I could write a book tracking anxiety and ocd in my childhood#I still have like the earliest memories#prsnl

for those curious, the answer to that poll is most definitely black raspberry. despite what some people think, they are indeed a different type of fruit from blackberries. most people from mass that i know prefer black raspberries and they grow wild in new england.

Wait...the son of the North Wind and a wolf named winter... the woman with skin as white as snow hair as black as ebony literally created from a wish when her mother pricked her finger on a snowy day against the window frame and exclaimed out loud at the colours...both children of winter...
#fables#twua#not me dredging out my childhood memories of the earliest version of snow white I ever read to make this make sense#AND THEY'RE IN LOVE THAT'S THE CRUCIAL BIT BTW#not me taking the decidedly un-fairy tale vibes of this retelling and squashing them aggressively#I'm a sucker for seventh sons what can I say???#twau

bakudeku is just reguri for abled, low support needs, and no media literacy people
#thats not to say its bad no matter my opinions on it. its just every time i see reguri i cringe at the bkdk parallels and then have to stop#myself and go ''no. theyre fundamentally different. children vs teens. disability acceptance vs 'cured' disability. antagonism vs bullying'#plus greens underlying cause behind his behavior vs bakugo being bakugo. like.#actual rivals vs being called rivals but actually starting out as bully and victim#childhood friends vs friends in their earliest memories only#finding your dream from chasing a boy vs having your lifelong dream crushed by the boy you chase#hurtful words vs violent actions etc etc etc#likeeeeee. friends to rivals to friends to lovers is SO GOOD but bkdk wants to be reguri and misses by so many miles.#bi rambles#oh & not to mention being invited to create the system youre part of to your own design v encouraging each other to join the same broken on#thats a big part of it for me#off-screen apology in the sequel that theyre both happier after vs badly written on-screen apology#also with reguri they both fucked up!! they both were kids poorly adjusting to their struggles and hurt each other!!! bkdk was one-side-only

Did a quick scribble sketch of a really early childhood memory of mine. Thinking of trying to paint it eventually, for catharsis or something
#faye's most excellent art projects#possible painting ideas#quick sketch#childhood memories#It's late at night with a bright bright bright full moon high in the sky#we live in a shitty trailer out in the woods and my mother has walked me down the road and tucked me away in a small cave(?)#with a dog named sunny#it's so quiet and so empty and I wonder what I've done to be put there#i am so scared and so alone but I've got my hand in sunny's fur and I know they will protect me because they're a good dog#most of my earliest memories are of being alone in varying states of dread#anyway i feel like painting this could be art therapy or something
