[o-sunny-day]

UHHHHHHHHH- OKAY LET ME EXPLAIN.

First of all, Forgettable!AU amv fanart stuff for @sunsestart cause this story is fukn magical and i cant wait to see what happens :3

Second of all ((in depth explanation))

I heard this song (Wasted Summers by juju<3) and I went *gasp* its skelebros fr fr. Plus I was already in desperate need of something to draw so BOOM!! Inserted in my brain for the next 3 days

EXPLANATION FOR THE AMV! ALL THINGS STATED AS “FACT” THAT HAVENT BEEN SAID ON THE BLOG ARE JUST MY SILLY LITTLE HEADCANONS!

Blue represents Sans and Green represents Papyrus/Wingdings. As kids when they were in waterfall, shocker, TEAL WAS ALL AROUND!!! They were harmonious and it was awesome. Then :(((

(what happens when you birth a skeleton kid who has a completely incomprehensible font??? 0 SOCIAL INTERACTION!!!!!!)

The 0 social interactions besides his brother thing kinda gets to him sometimes. Mostly subconsciously, and yeah bros a little irritable. Slamming doors, worrying his brother, fun family friendly not sibling angst stuff.

Also did ya see :3 when WD turned around his eyelights went out :3 we like to have fun here.

Also in the first little bit showing them finding stuff in the garbage dump as kids, the next shot is only Sans finding the stuff. cause WD is in the lab. and the colors are so lifeless and dull compared to when they were kids ((suddenly in tears))

ALSO THAT TV BIT, WD on tv being announced as The New Royal Scientist! and him just being so uncomfortable😭 has been a visual in my head for a while, so glad i got to draw that now

OK AND LAST “ALSO”. That last part with WD working on Blueprints and saying “yes you can” is the scene where Sans is like LETS DO SOMETHING OUTSIDE and WD is like “nah… imma do my own thing”

ok I lied, last also. the “yes I can” part of the lyrics. First they’re talking about how “oh you could totally work in the lab when you grow up” and “omg no way… only if YOU also work in the lab when you grow up”

Then they’re talking about how “oh you can leave if you want. shut up lemme finish my work” and “…omg I CAN get him out of the lab”

(ww a a ah h)

OKAY THATS ALO BYYYEEE

Drama-Bomb: Part 1

Marinette was excited to finally have some free time in her schedule and she wanted to spend it with Damian. She had messaged Alfred ahead of time to make sure the family was out and Damian was available. Damian had insisted his family would pry into their relationship and wanted to keep it private, just a bit longer. She didn't mind, after the stories he told her about his families relationships and how they panned out.

Mari rang the door bell and as expected, Alfred opened the door immediately.

"Master Damian, you have a guest." he called.

Summoned, Damian walked to the door in annoyance. He felt himself lighten when he saw his girlfriend standing there.

"Habibiti?" he questioned, still slightly unbelieving she was there.

"Alfred mentioned everyone would be busy today." she smiled.

Alfred nodded his head and closed the door behind Marinette. He had never seen his grandson so happy and he wanted to keep it that way. What was another secret amongst the many this family kept?

Damian grabbed her hand and started explaining about the book he hand been reading. Alfred watched as he started leading her towards the library. As he turned back to the kitchen, the bell rang again.

'No one else was to arrive.'

"Master Damian." Alfred called out, once more, "You have another guest."

The couple turned to see Talia standing in the door way.

"Hello, Damian." she smiled, "Mother has returned."

Damian froze for a moment and he knew his mother had caught it.

"Marinette, this is my mother, Talia Al Ghul." he quickly explained, "Mother, this is Marinette; my girlfriend."

"It's very nice to meet you, Miss." she smiled, before turning to Damian, "I'll come back another day. You told me you don't get to see her often."

'Oh? He speaks of me?'

"Do you mind if I speak to him in priavte, for a quick moment?" Marinette questioned.

"Of course." his mother smiled.

Damian led her to the living room, confused. Talia couldn't help but follow and take a peek. She didn't expect to see the young woman to smack her son on his head.

"What?" Damian hissed.

"You didn't tell me you mother looked like a Goddess!" She whisper-shouted at him, "I'd be happy to look 10% like her when I grow up. I thought you looked like your dad!"

Damian smirked, "Well you sure hit as hard as she does. You look beautiful, Habibiti. I have no doubt you will look just as beautiful as her."

He quickly placed a kiss on her forehead. Mari rolled her eyes and kissed his cheek.

"Go spend all the time you can with your mother." She smiled, "I'm only a call away."

Talia returned to Alfred's side , amused. Mari bid the, a good day and left. Alfred bowed to Damian and left him to his mother.

"I didn't take you to be the one to take hits, My Dove." Talia smiled.

Damian glared at her, knowing she had eavesdropped on them.

'Should have expected that.'

"I feel insulted." Talia goaded him, "She hits as hard as I do?"

Damian smiled, "She's not a civilian, Mother. Dinner on Father's card?"

"I'd love to." Talia agreed, opening the door for them.

Hello, Happy Valentine's Day, first of all and second, I always liked the idea of Alastor dating a relative of the Overlords, so could you make Alastor dating Zestial's granddaughter? q(≧▽≦q)🌻

OMFG. I can tell Zestial will be a pissed off grandpappy with his granddaughter and just wanting to keep us away from Al! Haha! I love this! Sorry, kinda short!

Alastor- Rose Drop

Needless to say… your grandfather isn’t happy about this. He is the only family you have in Hell and as a result, Zestial is protective over you. Wanting you to stay safe and away from specific threats…

So when you begin dating Alastor, Zestial is pissed off and already on the Radio Demon’s case. He is demanding to know why and for Alastor to explain himself, already threatening to throw hands if he dares try manipulate you

Zestial may be your grandfather but he acts more like your father than he actually is. It’s not like you hate your grandfather… you really do love him dearly, you just wish he wouldn’t be so naggy and involved in your life

Alastor is a gentleman at his core so he treats his girlfriend with much respect, he is protective but he doesn’t suffocate you and he likes to hold your hand as you two walk. Of course, you have your grandfather over your shoulder the entire time

Alastor is quite patient. Believe it or not, he won’t ever get annoyed by your protective and guarding grandfather but instead, he’ll establish boundaries with Zestial and asks him to not treat you like a child, further fuelling your passionate love for the Radio Demon

Alastor can handle the fact and respect the fact Zestial is the only family you have and you’re quite close to him, and his behaviours is understandable but he doesn’t want Zestial to ruin your relationship so he will make sure everybody walks out happy

Alastor wants your grandfather’s permission and blessing so when you two tell Zestial about your relationship properly, Alastor sucks up to him to get the right to date you. He wants everything to go well, he wants both of you to be happy

Alastor finds you beautiful, constantly calling you as such. You do resemble your Overlord grandfather very well and he doesn’t even care if it seems off, he loves you and he wants your attention, hence why he is doing all this

Zestial may not be happy about the fact you’re dating his fellow Overlord but he won’t ever try break this up. He can see from across the room just how much you two like each other and he is happy for you

Alastor is kissy and affectionate in front of the other Overlords, it’s quite cute to see a man like him so sweet and doting. He loves you and he can’t keep it to himself, you’re his little very old-fashioned glowy vampire~!

“Oh. My dear, would you like to come out to the café with me? I had spoken to your old man, he said it was all good for us. Now, may we?”

Anthony going from a man with apathy to drowning in emotions is the kind of leap I want in my reality. 0-100 super quick

[crazydaymycrazyway]

Now that I think about it, doesn't Alberu have like, a bunch of brothers and sisters? Then like, Zed had a lot of partners, though I suppose he only officially married the third prince's mother and the rest are concubines like Alberu's mother. So like, didn't Zed kill his siblings in the fight for throne? Or was it in another story? Did he like, ever think that his successor might choose his path and kill the rest of his kids and perhaps his own father too to sit on the throne?

And this third prince whom Zed favored, I was like, dying to know his name in the beginning. And Alberu's mothers name too. Then I just went like, if the third prince's name was like something long, complicated and hard to pronounce, wouldn't it be hilarious. I can imagine Cale's and Choi Han's reaction when they hear the name for the first time. Cake would just give up cuz it's too hard to say and he couldn't be bothered lol.

Back to the Crossman family. There are so many members there. Like damn. Wouldn't the tea within the family be quite juicy? Like, I can imagine all the family drama behind the doors? The public might not be aware of it, because they like to keep a good image and all. But I am very curious of all the sh*t happening within the palace. I've always thought about it from the day I've heard Zed have multiple kids from multiple women. When Cale hears all the drama, he'd be like, damn, I was right in thinking that nothing would do good if I get involved with you. He might enjoy the tea, but he'd be too scared to get his slacker life dream ruined.

[pararararablof]

[alien-slushie]

Trash of the Count's AU where: Instead of people thinking bad of Cale when he starts acting out, they instead look bad on Deruth and Violan. Like, the people realise no 8 year old kid is going to act out so drastically so suddenly unless something is going on. Rather its Violan being a wicked step mother, Deruth ignoring Cale in favor of Basen, or the servents treating Cale badly since Violan is the new lady, nobody really knows, but rumors start spiraling. And while nobody says or does anything outright because the Henituse Family is so rich, there is criticism floating around, and it only seems to grow the longer Cale acts out.

When Cale realises his plan backfired, he doesn't know what to do. His plan didn't work! Now people are saying even more rude things about his family! What is he supposed to do now!!

Idk what would happen after that.

Prayers please?

[aventurineswife]

Hello Rinnie!! (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)

I come with another request, and I will take advantage of the fact that the box for requests is open (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧

Going with the request, it is about one of the mothers at the daycare where Kaia goes, speaking badly of the reader, saying that surely the baby she is expecting is not her husband's and the same with Kaia. At first, the reader just laughed because he found it funny that she said that to him because Kaia was a miniature version of Aventurine.

But, that was at the beginning, because then that mother began to make fun of him in front of the reader, saying things like: "Is that your daughter? Surely she is not your lover's?" Or also: "I feel sorry for the father of those children... And to think that they are being unfaithful, poor him..." And the comments kept increasing, which caused the reader to hate her and avoid her like the plague. But, instead of telling Aventurine about it, he kept quiet because he didn't want to bother Aventurine with a childish problem.

Likewise, Aventurine found out somehow from one of the mothers of the mothers at the nursery, who had told him that a mother was spreading and bothering the reader about her being unfaithful, etc. One day, Kaia told her mom/dad/renny and yaya (dad) that they invited all the parents to a nursery event, that same day the readers go ahead to go to the nursery. As usual that mother was pestering the reader, while the reader tried his best to ignore her until he reached Aventurine, the reader quickly went to Aventurine and introduced him to that mother, saying: "Oh, I haven't introduced you to my husband, have I? This Aventurine, my husband and father of my children (^⁠‿⁠^⁠)"

(You can change some details if you want)

-💤🩵 anon

Venom Holds No Power Here

Summary: At the daycare, a judgmental mother targets you with malicious comments about your family, casting doubts on your daughter’s parentage. Though you try to dismiss her behavior, the stress lingers until your husband, Aventurine, steps in to address the situation. With his charm and commanding presence, he puts the bully in her place, leaving no room for doubt about his unwavering support and the strength of your family bond.

Warnings: Verbal Bullying, Emotional Manipulation, Mild Confrontation.

The daycare buzzed with the chaotic energy of excited children and their equally busy parents. Among them, you navigated through the little bodies and brightly colored toys, your hand resting on your baby bump. Your lively four-year-old daughter darted ahead, her hair glinting under the warm sunlight pouring through the windows. She was a perfect miniature of Aventurine, from her uncanny eyes down to her mischievous grin.

You’d hoped today would be a good day, one free of unnecessary stress. But, as always, trouble had a way of finding you in the form of her.

"Ah, there you are," the other mother called out, her tone syrupy sweet yet laced with venom. She stood off to the side, a smug expression plastered on her face. “I see you’ve brought your daughter. Still trying to pass her off as your husband’s, are we?”

Her words were loud enough to catch the attention of nearby parents, some exchanging awkward glances while others pretended not to hear.

At first, you’d laughed off her insinuations. It was absurd to think anyone could deny your daughter’s resemblance to Aventurine. But her comments had escalated over time, dripping with malice. Today was no different.

“Tell me,” she continued, smirking, “is the baby going to have a different father too? Or is it the same ‘lover’ this time?”

Your heart clenched, but you forced a serene smile onto your face. She wasn’t worth your energy. Avoiding her gaze, you knelt to pick up your daughter’s backpack and headed toward the playroom, hoping to escape the confrontation.

You hadn’t told Aventurine about the woman’s comments. It seemed petty to trouble him with such a ridiculous matter, especially when he was juggling the weight of IPC politics. Still, the words lingered, gnawing at the edges of your mind.

Unbeknownst to you, Aventurine had heard about the situation through another parent who had witnessed the bullying.

When he approached you that evening, his eyes—so like your daughter’s—were unusually serious.

“Darling,” he began, his voice smooth yet edged with concern. “I’ve been told someone at the daycare has been... bothering you.”

You hesitated, torn between brushing it off and admitting the truth. Aventurine’s penetrating gaze, however, left no room for evasion.

“It’s nothing,” you said softly, but his raised brow told you he didn’t believe a word of it.

“I see,” he murmured, a sly smile curling his lips. “Well, if it’s nothing, you won’t mind me attending tomorrow’s event at the daycare, will you?”

The next day, the daycare was abuzz with activity as parents and children gathered for the event. You arrived early with your daughter, hoping to avoid any unnecessary drama. The other mother, however, seemed to have other plans.

“Well, well,” she sneered as you entered. “All alone again? What a shame. I suppose your ‘husband’ is too busy for his family.”

You gritted your teeth, willing yourself to stay calm. But before you could respond, a familiar voice rang out behind you, smooth as silk and sharp as glass.

“Ah, there you are, darling.”

Turning, you saw Aventurine strolling toward you, his presence commanding attention. His hair was perfectly tousled, and his eyes gleamed with a dangerous charm. Dressed in his signature luxurious attire, he looked every bit the master strategist he was.

Relief flooded through you as you rushed to his side, your hand slipping into his. “Oh, I haven’t introduced you to my husband, have I?” you said brightly, your voice carrying a hint of satisfaction. “This is Aventurine—my husband and the father of my children.”

The other mother’s smug expression faltered, her face paling as she took in Aventurine’s imposing figure.

Aventurine’s smile didn’t reach his eyes as he addressed her. “It seems I owe you my gratitude,” he said, his tone light yet laced with steel. “I’ve heard you’ve taken quite an... interest in my family. It’s so rare to meet someone so invested in others’ lives.”

The woman stammered, her confidence crumbling under Aventurine’s piercing gaze. “I-I didn’t mean—”

“Oh, no need to explain,” he interrupted smoothly. “I only hope your... observations have been as entertaining as they’ve been misguided.”

He turned back to you, his smile softening as he gently kissed your hand. “Come, darling. Let’s find our daughter.”

As you walked away, you couldn’t help but glance back at the other mother, who now stood frozen, her face a picture of embarrassment.

Aventurine’s arm slipped around your waist as he leaned in close, his voice low and teasing. “Next time, don’t hesitate to let me handle such trivial matters. After all, what’s a game without a little excitement?”

You laughed softly, leaning into his warmth. For the first time in weeks, the weight on your chest lifted, replaced by the comforting certainty that, with Aventurine by your side, you could face anything.

Submas Headcanons

Some people have expressed interest in hearing my submas headcanons, so without further ado:

Ingo and Emmet are not originally from Nimbasa City. In fact, they were born and raised in Mistralton City.

They've always loved trains, ever since they were toddlers. Their mother figured they'd outgrow it eventually. They did not.

Their father worked in airplane maintenance at the Mistralton Cargo Service. He always brought his Pokémon, a Timburr, to work with him.

Unfortunately, when the boys were six, both their father and his Pokémon were killed in a workplace accident.

Both he and Timburr were interred together at Celestial Tower. In the years following his death, his wife would sometimes take Ingo and Emmet to visit his grave.

It was on one of these visits that Ingo met Chandelure.

Ingo, who was eight at the time, had just gotten into a fight with his mother.

The twins never really got along with their mother. She was never abusive to them, she just didn't really get them. Their eccentricities and "weird behavior" often left her exasperated.

Ingo was actually the better behaved of the twins. Emmet was the bigger handful. He would sometimes get so upset that he'd shut down and refuse to talk, only venting his frustration in loud, wordless whines.

The dad had always been better at calming him down, but these tantrums often left the mom at her wit's end.

Ingo often found himself caught between his mother and Emmet.

On this particular day, emotions were flying high (as they sometimes do when people are grieving), and Ingo got so angry that he ran deeper into Celestial Tower without Emmet or his mother. His mother shouted at him to come back or he'd get himself lost, but he didn't listen.

Guess what? He got lost.

It was later in the day, and there weren't any other visitors. He spent a long time wandering around the graves, not knowing where he was, feeling increasingly scared and sorry that he'd yelled at his mother.

Finally, after what felt like a long time, he collapsed on the ground beside a tombstone and buried his face in his arms. His legs were tired, and the area he was in didn't look familiar at all. He began to have those irrational thoughts that children sometimes have, that maybe his mother was so mad that she would just take Emmet and leave without him.

Just then, out of the corner of his eye he spotted a little light wavering near the floor just a few feet away. When he looked closely at it, he saw that it was a Litwick. The boy and the Pokémon made eye contact for a moment before the Litwick disappeared behind a tombstone, only to reappear on top of another tombstone just a few feet behind it. It seemed to be beckoning Ingo to follow it.

Now, Ingo had heard the stories they tell about Litwick, how they pretend to guide lost children to safety while actually leading them to the spirit world.

But he was so lost, so lonely and desperate for someone to help him, that he didn't know what else to do except follow the Litwick.

Besides, even if the Litwick did lead him to the spirit world, maybe he'd be able to see his dad there...?

So, he followed the Litwick.

The Litwick led him down the various winding paths between the tombstones, down the stairs, over the mist-covered floor. Every time Ingo thought he'd lost the light, it would reappear a little closer, waving at him to resume its lead once more.

Finally, the walls inside the tower had grown dark, and Ingo saw a massive lighted doorway before him. Was this the spirit world?

No. It was the exit to Route 7. The bright light of the setting sun seared Ingo's eyes as he stepped out of the tower.

And who did he see just outside the entrance? His mother, with Emmet in tow, frantically giving Ingo's description to a police officer who'd been patrolling the area.

Emmet was the first to spot Ingo. Their mother immediately swept Ingo into a hug. Relief and frustration were mixed, and she scolded him even as she held him. ("Don't you ever scare me like that again!")

Ingo looked back over his shoulder at the tower as his mother led him away. He could still see the little light flickering in the dark doorway.

From then on, every time Ingo went to visit his father's grave, the little light was there.

Ingo started bringing the Litwick gifts. Little berries and other snacks he'd snatched from the house, and was pleasantly surprised to see Litwick eat them. He wasn't sure whether Litwick ate food or whether they exclusively fed on life energy.

Eventually, Ingo saved up enough pocket money to buy a Poké Ball from the Pokémon Center and brought Litwick home with him.

He had to hide Litwick from his mother because his mother always hated ghost Pokémon, and always kept her own Pokémon, a Herdier, close by whenever they visited Celestial Tower in case they were ever attacked by one.

Emmet tried to help Ingo keep Litwick hidden, but they were eventually found out. A particularly nasty fight broke out one night at dinner. Emmet was refusing to eat something on his plate. His mother, who was already in a bad mood, insisted that he was too old to be this picky and to eat already. Emmet shut down and refused to talk, and it just escalated from there.

Ingo tried to plead with his mother to stop yelling at Emmet, but that just redirected his mother's anger toward himself. Litwick saw her yelling at Ingo and got angry. The light on its head flared. Suddenly, Ingo's mother began to get very tired...

Ingo realized what was happening and shouted at Litwick to stop. Litwick was confused at first. It didn't think it was doing anything wrong. It was just trying to protect its friend. But when it saw how upset both Ingo and Emmet had become, it stopped draining energy from their mother, and the light on its head went out before she lost consciousness.

The crisis had been averted, but the jig was up. Ingo's mother naturally freaked out and insisted Ingo get rid of Litwick. The twins begged her not to make them get rid of Litwick, vowing that this would never happen again, but the mother went so far as to ransack their room looking for Litwick's Poké Ball. Once she finally found it, she vowed that first thing in the morning, she would trade Litwick away, and she wouldn't hear any arguments about it.

Ingo had always been the better behaved son, but the prospect of losing Litwick was too much. That night, he snuck into his mother's room, grabbed Litwick's Poké Ball from her purse, and ran away from home.

He was gone for three days before the police found him at Twist Mountain. At the time, he was only nine, too young to go on the gym challenge.

His mother was strangely subdued when she picked him up from the station. He had been expecting her to blow a gasket, but she only seemed tired. She grounded him for a month, but she never said another word about getting rid of Litwick.

Nowadays, she lives in Undella Town, in a villa that the twins paid for. She did not take news of Ingo's disappearance well. She sort of shut down and absolutely refuses to acknowledge that he's gone.

She and the twins were never close, but even so, Emmet can't help but feel abandoned by his mother in the wake of Ingo's disappearance.

Speaking of Emmet, here's how he met Eelektross:

When the twin were finally old enough to take the gym challenge, they decided to head south toward Chargestone Cave.

Ingo had an advantage because he had already had a Pokémon he'd been training for a while, but he promised Emmet they would catch him a Pokémon in the cave. And there were plenty of Pokémon to catch. Emmet borrowed Litwick and was able to catch himself a Joltik. Ingo, for his part, caught a Klink.

But Emmet heard one of the trainers they ran into say that this cave was home to a very rare Pokémon called Tynamo. Emmet was intrigued and immediately decided he wanted to catch one. As the twins neared the end of the cave, Emmet declared that he wasn't leaving until he caught a Tynamo.

Ingo was aghast. Tynamo was a super rare Pokémon. They could search the cave for days without seeing one.

Emmet suggested that Ingo could leave if he wanted and keep bringing Emmet food while he searched. Ingo thought this was a crazy idea and said so. But Emmet could be verrrry stubborn, and no matter what Ingo tried, he couldn't get him to leave the cave. Finally, Ingo departed for Route 6 in a huff, saying that Emmet could do what he wanted.

So Emmet searched the cave. But even after wandering through the cave for hours, he had still found no sign of a Tynamo. Worse yet, he kept running into a lot of rock Pokémon that his newly caught Joltik was unprepared to fight.

Finally, his watch told him that it was getting late. Emmet was exhausted and embarrassed. He regretted not having listened to Ingo, and he dreaded having to hear him say, "I told you so."

So, he decided to pull out his sleeping bag and camp right there on the cave floor in order to put off having to face Ingo until the next morning.

In the middle of night, he was awoken by the sound of something rummaging in his backpack. When he picked up his flashlight and looked, what did he see but a Tynamo munching on one of the Pecha Berries his mother had packed.

Emmet only had an instant to be excited before the Tynamo grabbed the berry in its sucker-like mouth and fled deeper into the cave. Emmet ran after it, flashlight in hand, determined not to let it get away.

But he wasn't the one to stop Tynamo. Instead, Tynamo was jumped by a pair of Boldore as it was fleeing. Emmet ducked behind a rock and watched as the Boldore easily beat up Tynamo and took the berry, from which it had only been able to take a few nibbles with its small mouth. Emmet, armed with only an exhausted Joltik, was completely helpless to stop this, and could only watch as the Boldore left with the spoils.

Emmet slowly approached Tynamo, who was lying on the ground in a tiny heap. It occurred to Emmet that perhaps the reason Tynamo were so rare was because they were so weak.

Emmet had been under the impression that because Tynamo were rare, they must be super powerful and that having one on his team would make him unstoppable. Nonetheless, he did not hesitate to reach for the empty Poké Ball he had in his pocket.

Ingo had spent the night at the Pokémon Center in Driftveil City, worried sick about Emmet. Early the next morning, he headed back toward Route 6 with plans to find him in Chargestone Cave and try once again to get him to give up his search for Tynamo.

Instead, he was shocked to run into a triumphant Emmet crossing one of the bridges over the river, holding up Tynamo's Poké Ball in his hand.

When Tynamo came to at the Pokémon Center, it was understandably alarmed to find itself in a strange place it didn't recognize with a strange kid it didn't know grinning down at it.

But it immediately perked up when Emmet dumped a bunch of berries from home onto the table below where it was floating.

As Tynamo looked up at Emmet questioningly, Emmet earnestly promised that he would make Tynamo strong and that as long as they were together, Tynamo would never be hungry again.

He has kept that promise.

I have a lot more, but I think that's more than enough for one post. I might make another post about Ingo's life in Hisui before he met the protagonist, but we'll see.
