The ball missed the net. The whistle blew.

“Foul” Wanda, dressed in her referee uniform called out, “out of bounds”

Third grader Natalie could only huff. She thought she’d get it a little easier with her mom being the referee. Somehow it just seemed harder.

You were watching the whole game, cradling your infant twins Billy and Tommy.

“Look boys, Mom’s getting another group of parents angry at her again” you pointed over to a group of parents already walking up to Wanda.

You had to admit it, she looked amazing in that outfit. The power had clearly gone to your wife’s head.

You always loved seeing her in that outfit. The fantasies that played out in your mind.

Ten years of marriage and you still act like newlyweds.

“Go easy ref!” You jokingly call out, “this is a third graders’ game”

Wanda blows her whistle on you.

“Fowl” she answers back, “unlawfully fine looking parent. See me after the game.”

Agatha, acting as the Westview School basketball coach, couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

“I shouldve never given her that uniform.” Agatha snickers.

Pietro, ever the jokester, threw some popcorn at his sister. “Boo this ref!”

Wanda walked over and sat down by you. “I’m going to kill him some day”

“You love him too much” you answer back, kissing your wife on the cheek. “And the boys love you out there”

“Are you sure it’s not you?” She winks back. Wanda whispers in your ear, “I got Pietro to watch the kids after the game and Agatha to let us lock the locker rooms up”

“You’ve been reading my referee fantasies again havent you?” You smirk.

Wanda nods “and I’m gonna make every single one of them come true tonight” your wife tops it off with a wink.

And then came another foul, this time from the other team. Wanda was immediately on it.

She blew her whistle, “foul!”

That’s your Wanda.

how the fuck is this bitch 20 and she doesnt know what a dive bar is? like girl havent you seen one on tv before??? what on EARTH. baffling trait for a character.

i mean literally btw. like not just shes never BEEN to a dive, but like. this chapter opens on kal taking her to one and she says, verbatim, "what IS this place?!" and he has to explain to her.

idk what this author thinks being 20 is actually fucking like bc like. i would certainly have known what a fucking dive bar is at 20 even if i had never been in one personally. and i think by that point i definitely had as a kid to see my dad play music.

just like. maybe someone in real life is out there who IS this sheltered and oblivious at 20 years of age, but it feels unbelievable to me as a reader. also his reaction to her saying this being like, "wow, she really is young....a mere babe from the cradle....." like, bro. she's 20. she should really have some concept of what a bar is unless she was living genuinely under a rock. this isn't a young people thing. also he's 32 so every time he goes on and on about how she's like, an infant, it's extremely funny to me, like bro i know people your age and you are not old cut the act. i get that 20 is still quite young in the grand scheme of things but like thats an entire grown woman please be for real with me right now

i haven’t watched the episodes in a very long time, but iirc carrot does think chopper is cool and is impressed by his intelligence too. she compliments him for his good ideas when he figures out how to escape the place they are trapped in! she continues to call him “choniki,” which i think to her is same as calling chopper “chopper aniki,” just combining the words into a cute nickname. i think chopper was a little bothered because “choniki” doesn’t sound as cool to him 😂 but iirc he also never corrects carrot or tells her to call him differently the rest of her time with the strawhats, so maybe the nickname grew on him 😂

i do agree tho that chopper’s personality does seem to be just “cute and scared sometimes” post-TS. i like his new design? but i personally prefer his character design pre-TS. it’s strange, it seems like many characters personalities became more one-note post-TS? like robin, nami and zoro, i love them, but in my opinion they are not as vibrant and well-rounded as they were pre-TS. or side characters that we have been with for a long time, like bepo,l and pensha, still don’t get much expansion, esp compared to new side characters :/

thats cute good for them, ill continue feeling sour regarding all things carrot and zou-wano-onigashima arcs out of pure jealousy but im glad chopper had Something nice happen

and everyone is Absolutely one note post TS and choppers pre moefication beam design is way better. introduction chopper being a weird lil guy is so good u can actually but him as 15 while post TS is an infant

agreeing with everything you said thems my main frustrations :'))))) i havent read anything post TS except first half of WCI when it was coming out (in hopes Gin will show up, foolishly - but dropped halfway cuz i was so disappointed in Pudding 180 bullshit and Reiju being the only sibling thats semi okay - only cute enemy girls turning non evil was so lame i hated it. it only got worse after)

everyone is one note, strawhats don't interact between each other in fun ways like they used to before - let alone have strong emotional moments. oda seems bored with them post ts and divides his attention towards new dolls he makes along the way - like how much love he dedicated to wano randos, SHs were pushed to the background only having a few action scenes but mostly playing second fiddle to the new cast hes made. its nuts

[dumplingsimz]

infants are sooo adorable and this update was so needed, my infants havent grown up yet and i already love them and cant wait to play with them when theyre older

also bruuuhh theyre so hard to take care of i have twins and 4 adult sims taking care of them and still have no time to do anything lol

[chadsuke]

You have a lot of fics, would you be willing to give me some direction? I just read from the corner of your eye and loved it!

first thank you uwu if ur who i think u are i enjoyed ur comments going through the fic. im glad u enjoyed it and sorry abt anko

secondly........... yeah for sure! my personal fave drabbles/oneshots + fics im pretty actively updating.

sasuke and the baby: or how to raise a child when you're only eight - when itachi killed the whole clan there was a newborn infant he missed bc they were still in the hospital. now sasuke is eight years old and raising a baby. he is Struggling. its a drabblefic and im going to be updating it MWF fairly soon, by the end of the month.

the girl and the demon - inuyasha crossover! kagome is reborn into the naruto world and promptly adopts naruto as her younger brother bc she thinks he's half-demon. misunderstandings and found family ensue.

you and me we'll face the storm - drabble. kisame is an uzumaki and comes 2 find naruto. i actually regularly rotate this in my brain as a potential longfic.

to set a bird free - hinata/karin oneshot about them fucking up the caged bird seal. fuck the hyuugas.

i want two - sakuino kidfic drabble. sakura meets ino's parents.

to destroy the darkness that lingers in the earth - after obito's death, when danzo tries to get kakashi to join anbu, rin and kakashi flee to tsunade's protection. 17k oneshot, rin/shizune, im so proud of this one lmao.

a sort of double-date - sasunaru and iruka/yamato oneshot. iruka has a date with yamato and naruto wants it to go PERFECT. sasuke is dragged along.

just doing my job - sakuhina oneshot. kakashi decides to play matchmaker.

the snake in her skin - magic AU, tayuya/temari oneshot. there is a demon in temari's brother and she wants help from the witch. i know it sounds nuts but i love this one so much mwah.

give uchiha sasuke a break.jpg - sasulee drabble. lee finds a baby.

tangled in the red strings - DISCLAIMER I HAVENT UPDATED IN FOUR YEARS BUT I STG I AM. WORKING ON THE NEXT CHAPTER. tsuchi kin/hinata soulmate AU. i swear to god i am going 2 finish it.

down the wrong road - team kakashi drabble. rin is the one under the rock instead of obito.

brothers - gaara & naruto drabble. naruto has red hair. this means upon spotting gaara, he decides they must be longlost family.

rivalry - drabble. everyone is a rival for sakura.

i have a girlfriend!? - ino/tenten oneshot. my first published naruto fic from six years ago and still one of my favorites. mwah.

hope something on here interests you!

Can you explain ASPD and NPD from a neurological standpoint? I vaguely know it has to do with an underdeveloped frontal lobe, but other than that, it's a little mysterious.

not really, but thats because thats a really difficult question that there isnt a straightforward answer to what we know about how trauma impacts the brain is both very little and highly variable. we know that it definitly absolutely does, but there just havent been enough large scale studies or meta deta to support a clear cut list of specific areas that are definitly affected. and there might never be, our brains are the most complex and least udnerstood organs in our bodies, so our understanding of them is constantly shifting there are trends tho and things we think are likely based on current info, frontal lobes being underdeveloped or stunted is one thing that we've seen evidence for and that explains lifelong issues, but doesnt mean it's a 1:1 ratio of "if u have aspd then ur frontal lobe is underdeveloped" or even "if ur frontal lobe is underdeveloped u have aspd" like neither of those are statements that can be made as definitives, only likely possibilities

another is chemical imbalance issues, low seratonin receptors, damaged or decreased output of certain chemicals, ect. we've seen lots of evidence that trauma can physically impact and change the way that our brains both produce and recieve chimicals. for example there have been studies that suggest that high levels of stress as an infant can potentially cause the brain to overproduce both stress hormones and their receptors and therefore underproduce receptors for positive chemicals like dopamine and seratonin, so even if ur body later in life begins producing them in healthy amounts, ur brain has no way to absorb enough of them. but this is something that is extreamly variable person to person and requires specialized testing to check there are others but those are the two most common that people talk about, but there's things with reward centers, stuff with ur gut bacteria and seratonin storage, and more nuanced things around chemicals and receptors and what parts of ur brain are being used to process what. but those are all relatively new understandings that are still being researched

but the real thing that i think is important to remember is that the nuerological aspects of cluster b pds specifically (not all mental illnesses) are not the cause of the disorder, they are byproducts of it*** the trauma has to happen first, its what initially causes the brain to malfunction and deviate from normal healthy development. so the specifics of both the trauma and the genetics of the person expeiriencing it are what are going to determine how the brain is physically affected. because of this, it's very common for there to be no lasting neurological differences once someone has processed and healed from that trauma. that doesnt mean they dont or didnt have that disorder. so looking for the nuerological component is the last step of the process as opposed to the first. it's only after someone has healed from their trauma, learned to cope, and is in a healthy environement yet still is not improving depsite treatment, that is when it becomes clear that there is a nuerological component at play for them ***the only exception to this is aspd. which can be caused solely by a physical traumatic brain injury, such as an accident where ur struck in the head so forcefully or ur brain hits the inside of ur skull so forcefully that it essentially smashes ur frontal lobe to pieces. aspd is the only cluster b pd that this can happen with. physical traumatic brain injuries like that cannot (as of our current knowelge) cause npd, bpd, or hpd.

[klugpuuo]

I want to ask about Berro but I am not quite sure what to ask,

What exactly is Berro’s story so to speak? I remember you mentioning bits and pieces but that is about it,

well all i have rn is,

berro was born to the king an queen of elves, who before him had entirely abstained from having children (they had no interest in it, but agreed they needed a heir to the throne, and if they died childless it would be left to popular vote).

while still an infant, he was stolen by an insectoid (a grasshopper named pirou) who was planning on using him as blackmail or simply killing him outright. she was charmed by him, however, so decided to simply take care of him until she could find someone she trusted to drop him off to (elven babby charm hormones are fairly nonsensical and also she's sort of a sap)

after a few months of surveying, she found masarath: a poor but kind young woman who was rising up the ranks of her job surprisingly quick. after making sure that she'd be able to actually take care of berro, pirou.. well i'm not sure if i want to keep the utterly hilarious "dropped him behind a dumpster and hoped masa picked him up" or the also hilarious "dropped him on her balcony and hoped he wasn't picked up by a bird" but it's one of those two

anyway! masa found him, took care of him while trying to find his parents or any other relatives, and after literally everything came back as "???????? the hell?" she just adopted him

initially taking care of him Sucked because baby elves are exclusively photovores and baby ants. are not. but she eventually figured it out

he went to preschool and entered school at fairly normal ages, got pretty average grades (though with some help from masa he managed to get Very good math grades). in school he made TONS of good friends, a lot of which he has today!!! most people here already know his best friends: april may and wisteria lastnamepending !!!

during highschool he plays a lotta this game called flyball. i've vaguely mentioned it but basically it's just like rugby but you are flying . i'm sooo creative

when he's 16 he meets loki/lein

when he's 17 he ends up getting invited to the first multi-species flyball tournament! some species have differences in their flight and such, like a fly and dragonfly are both a bit faster than most beetles, so it took a while to make up regulations and stuff to keep everything equal!

after the tournament is concluded, a video of it is posted online, aaand since berro was on the winning team he was in a lot of it. and eventually the video is found by someone who can identify the wing signatures (sort of like VERY large fingerprints but more genetic) of elves, specifically elven royalty.

so berro is brought to the king and queen who find he's their missing son. i havent decided what quite happens but masa avoids legal issues because of Somehow and berro is basically trapped in christianity for like a month until april an wist rescue his ass

woo
