1995 - Thirteen Years Old

She hadn't meant to be nosy but she couldn't stop herself from eavesdropping on her father's phone call. He was talking to John about something. She heard him mention a city, one that sounded familiar. Had it been where he had visited on a business trip a few weeks ago? She thought so.

Her father had been leaving a lot more lately. She had asked why and he had given her a stupid answer. Something about having to drive farther. Being clueless about the truth, she assumed he might have been mad at her. Maybe he would say something to John about it. She hoped he would. Her father had been acting different too. She needed to know why.

Pressing her ear against the door to his office she began listening.

"-your help. This vamp nest is killing me," Bobby said with a chuckle over the phone. Her eyes went wide. What the hell? After a few more minutes of listening, everything began adding up. How he got those mysterious wounds, why he had been leaving so much recently.

Her throat felt dry. She took a step back. In her haste to get away from the door she knocked over a stack of books. Her face turned white as a ghost as she hurried to pick them up. She heard Bobby moving around in his office. He opened the door and looked at her.

Upon seeing her face it was obvious she had been eavesdropping. He let out a sigh and spoke, "Balls!" He exclaimed.

▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣

It had been over a week since that day. She still wouldn't speak to her father. It felt like her world had come crashing down around her. Finding out the truth and the Supernatural, and her mother's death, had thrown her for a loop. Her father had been lying to her for years.

He didn't leave on business trips. No, he left to go hunt monsters! The thought both shocked and terrified her. Handling this much information at once was difficult.

She didn't just have to handle teenage hormones. No, she had to handle the damn Supernatural! Her father had mentioned something about teaching her more. The more she thought about it, the now that made sense. The lore books she had grown up reading were awful specific about how to kill monsters.

She thought back to all of the practice she had with her father in using a shotgun. He had always told her it was just something she needed to know for whenever she was left home alone.

Her father had knocked on her door several times, always getting no reply and finding the door locked. She did have to leave her room sometimes though. She always waited until he was elsewhere.

Having to look at him hurt right now. After all of the lies he had told she wasn't ready. She needed time to process everything she had found out. Lots of time. Finding out monsters were real was something that would take time for her to adjust too.

"The Winchester boys are staying here for a while. John's helping me with the. . . case," Bobby said, speaking to her through the door.

She didn't reply, instead pulling her blanket over her head. She was still pissed. Her father was leaving again. Now that she knew what he was doing it felt horrible. Tears filled her eyes and she pressed her pillow against her face.

She must have fallen asleep like that. Whenever she woke up, hours later, her father was gone. She knew because she could hear the faint conversation of the Winchester boys downstairs. She sighed, sitting up in bed.

She has no intention of going downstairs. This worked for a while. She was left alone. That was until sometime later, Dean knocked on her door. It made her roll her eyes.

"I made dinner," He called through the door after she didn't reply. He sighed. "Your dad told me you're acting bitchy."

"I'm not hungry!" She yelled in reply.

She wanted Dean to leave her alone. She wanted everyone to leave her alone right now. Couldn't she just have a little bit of time to herself? One week hadn't been enough.

"It's going to get cold," He said in reply. "Come downstairs." Dean was starting to get impatient with her. It was clear that she intended to stay in her locked bedroom all night.

She stood, stretching her limbs whenever she hears a faint scratching. She frowned. What was Dean doing? The answer was revealed whenever her door swung open. Her jaw dropped as Dean leaned against her doorframe.

"You dick!" She snapped, crossing her arms over her chest. She was suddenly selfconscious of her messy hair and puffy eyes.

Once it was obvious that Dean wouldn't leave her alone until she went downstairs to eat, she followed him. Not without complaint though. She bitched the whole way downstairs.

Her mood did improve after she ate though. Dean sure did know how to make Mac & Cheese. The second she finished eating she rinsed her bowl in the sink before practically running upstairs. She wanted to be alone right now.

She hadn't noticed Dean following her up to her bedroom until she tried shutting her door. His foot blocked her. She looked down at his boot, wedges in the doorway. She mumbled another expletive before sitting down on her bed. He just wouldn't leave her alone!

"When are you going to lose the attitude?" Dean asked as he pushed her door the rest of the way open. He then leaned against her doorframe with a smirk.

His snarky attitude was getting on her nerves. She wanted to be left alone to mope. She wanted to wallow in her misery. But no, Dean wouldn't allow it. He was pissing her off.

"I don't want to talk to you," She said, crossing her arms.

"Too bad," Dean replied.

She rolled her eyes as she uncrossed her arms. She has given up. Dean was going to bother her, that much was obvious. She had given up on fighting with him. She was tired of trying to avoid talking to anyone after what she had found out.

"Your dad was protecting you," He stated. She was being insufferable in his mind. She had gotten to enjoy a somewhat normal childhood, yet all she did was complain.

"He lied to me! For my entire life!" She snapped. Did Dean not understand how much that hurt? Her father was practically all she had. The only other parental figures was Gladys, and she didn't see the older woman very often anymore.

"When are you going to stop acting like such a bitch about it? He was protecting you," Dean retorted. He seemed pissed off now.

Suddenly, a thought occured to her. Dean must have known. It was obvious based on the way he was acting he hadn't been lied to and kept on the dark for his entire life. Someone he trusted hadn't lied to him about everything.

"Did you know?" She asked, looking up at him.

Dean had overheard his father and Bobby talking. He knew why she was so damn moody. She hadn't been very happy whenever she had learned the truth about this world. He had known his entire life. He hadn't gotten to enjoy part of his childhood as a normal (ish) kid.

"I always have," Dean replied with a shrug.

This only made her more upset. She had known Dean since she was nine years old, and he had lied to her too. She didn't blame him near as much as her father though. He was still another person who had helped Bobby keep her in the dark.

She might not be best friends with Dean, but she had thought that he wouldn't lie to her like that. They saw each other infrequently. Usually a couple of times per year. It was convenient for both of their fathers.

Really looking to Dean she noticed how different he looked. Even though she'd seen him only a few months ago he seemed taller. More grown up. She ignored those thoughts. She was mad at him.

"I could have handled the truth," She snapped.

"Like you're handling it so well right now?" Dean retorted. He thought that she be grateful Bobby had lied to her. She had gotten to live some of her childhood thinking monsters weren't real. Dean, however, had spent his entire childhood knowing the truth.

Her eyes narrowed slightly in reply. She wasn't handling it well right now. Knowing what was really out there terrified her. Dean's words stung. At least her father had accepted her lack of replies and gave her some space.

"Get out," She snapped at Dean. She could feel tears welling up in her eyes. Over her head body would Dean see her cry.

Dean seemed to notice that he had probably been the cause for tears he could see welling up. He sighed, he hadn't been trying to upset her. Before he could say anything though, she had thrown a pillow at him. He only left whenever she had picked up a lore book that looked rather heavy.

The rest of the time spent together didn't go well.

Her and Dean avoided each other at all costs. She didn't want to have to look at his stupid face right now. Dean didn't want to apologize. His teenage years were making him a bit of a dick.

Everytime Dean went outside for something, she appeared downstairs to grab food or something. Sam noticed the tense environment but said nothing. He had heard their argument.

Reading the cursed child (scorbus, norvelize version in a03). I read the script years ago when I was 11 (funfact it was the first harry potter book I've ever bought). So I'm rereading it again because I have a scorbus brainrot suddenly (11 y/o me shipped Scorpius and Rose so hard but now I grew up let just say my taste had change lmao).

List of thought gonna go longer as I read:

- yo Albus surly personality is basically me when I was 15 it was like looking into a mirror. Hold on there baby I understand you 😭

- I want to write a whole essay on Albus and Harry's relationship. They both are so precious but they just have a hard time with each other.

- Scorpius is the sunshine most sunshine cinnamon role ever. I would kill for him. I would die for him.

- ALL THOSE BULLY BETTER STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY OUTCASTS BABIES.

- “And be my good friend.” what if I die.

- why do people love to torture the cinnamon roll??? I want to hug Scorpio so bad like baby you deserve the moon and the sky and the world. And the fact that he's still trying to be so cheerful and optimistic. THE WORLD DOESN'T DESERVE HIM.

- Albus and Harry's father and son angst is killing me but it is also so delicious I relish in it (it's just so complicated I love it).

- "you’re kind, Scorpius. From the depths of your belly, to the tips of your fingers." Is the sweetest thing I've ever heard anyone said. I love this quote so much I want it tattooed on my forehead.

- Again, Scorpius deserve the fucking world.

- Scorpius and Draco's relationship is SO GOOD, SO PURE, SO SOFT. They love each other so much 😭

- brb I'm going to cry at the fact that Dark AU Ron and Hermione die in such a terrible way a few minutes after they finally confess their feelings (they were scared). 😭😭😭😭😭😭

- Snape is so dramatic. Girl "you're giving up your kingdom for Albus... All it takes is one person." he made it sound like they're in a romance fantasy novel (they are).

- Head empty. Scorpius happiest memory with Albus is strong enough for him to produce a patronus.

- Scorpius is once, again, a cutie pie that deserves everything.

- Delphi is more manipulative than I realized when I first read this lmao.

- GIRL the way Albus said that he and Scorpius ran away to start a new life in the muggle world as an excuse — what do you mean you're eloping at 14??? (Out of chronological order but I just remembered this)

- Delphi when I catch you —

- Never thought I'd be rooting for Draco and Harry duo yet here we are (did I say I love Draco as a dad?? I don't think he's appreciated enough. He's a brilliant dad! THIS is his best redemption arc).

- "What did you say to our son, Harry?" GO OFF QUEEN (Albus is a confirmed mommy boy)

- RON WANT TO MARRY HERMIONE AGAIN. I don't quite ship them in the book/movie but they're just the sweetest in here 😩😩

- I just had the sudden realisation that Scorbus might be the only couple that I ship in hp that is so close to canon (and was canonised by some play if I heard correctly).

- that time where they were in godric hollow and Scorpius was surprised that Albus never knew the full story of his grandparents or visited the place just bc he was being a petty, moody uninterested teenager hit so hard (he is me and I am him). And the shame he felt was real too. I always regret those years in my life where I acted like that and I don't even have a daddy issue like Al did, what's my bloody excuse lmao (I blame fucking hormones) 😩😭

- okay so finished it!! When I was a kid I don't quite like the time travel thingy and find it very confusing but I think it's because it's a screenplay yk, and it was meant to be watched not read. But the novel version did help a lot (and I give the author my hundreds of gratitude, her writing is absolutely beautiful! And she captured the characters perfectly! If you're scared to read The Cursed Child, read her novel version in ao3!!!).

I'm surprised that I actually love the plot more than I thought I would. Yeah it can get a bit unrealistic at times but all in all it's very entertaining and Albus and Scorpius are very well written, very rounded and nuanced characters that carry the book. I'm glad their parents didn't overshadow their personality etc (like them being mini-copies of Harry and Draco). They're their own person and I love that about them!!

They're not Drarry or even Jegulus as I've seen people say, they're in their own league. There are no enemies or hatred or tension between them; Scorpius and Albus genuinely like each other so much from the first they laid their eyes on each other and I adore them for it.

I read a theory that Albus was sent in Slytherin because he subconsciously wanted to be in a house with this kind boy met on the train and it made me want to cry (they were made for each other). (Although I do think Albus have many Slytherin traits, Scorpius I was less sure he screamed Hufflepuff/Ravenclaw to me but admittedly he can be cunning to).

So yeah, I don't think it's that bad as everyone said (and my 11 y/o self). It's fun and I actually cried a lot at the end of it (I have to watch Jily die, do you have any idea what that did to me???) (I don't even ship them but i swear this book set me to default back to canon).

I really want to watch the play, would die for it but it's impossible and I can only dream.xoxo

Lo and Li and their (not) looking after Azula and Zuko in "The Beach"

I have talked a lot about Zuko and Azula lately because “The Beach” episode gives a lot of context for their relationship, but it would be a crime to omit the most funny detail (implication) coming from this episode: the presence of Lo and Li.

Those two older women were introduced into the series as Azula’s teachers (that definitely fueled her unhealthy sense of perfectionism) and some sort of advisors before the princess recruited Ty Lee and Mai on the hunt for Zuko, Iroh and later, the Avatar. The story alone gives little about Lo and Li, but considering their relationship and influences on the princess, we can assume they had, if not outright trust, then at least Ozai’s approval to keep an eye on his “precious”, prodigy daughter. As they were the only adults connected to Fire Lord and at whose house the Royal Siblings and their friends stayed in "The Beach" episode, I thought of them as not really nannies, but more like chaperones.

Zuko and Azula faced Avatar and survived, Mai and Ty Lee proved to be capable of beating down full grown men one on one (or more precisely, one vs many). So fine, ok, Ozai may trust his kids to be able to defend themselves - if the thought about their safety even occurred to him at all. But Zuko and Azula are, and I can’t stress it enough, teenagers sent on vacation and teenagers may do stupid stuff for fun just to taste the little freedom granted them. So it makes sense to me that Lo and Li should supervise the Royal Siblings, because vacation or not, they are still prince and princess, the precious heirs to the throne. And like, Zuko is with his girlfriend (official fiancee?) and you can never be sure what teenagers in love and with buzzing hormones will do, right? Same with Azula, who as we learn through the episode, will happily grab the occasion to flirt with a  handsome, popular boy and the innocent kiss turned out quickly into her passionate rant: “Together, you and I will be the strongest couple in the entire world! We will dominate the Earth!”. 

Azula’s mind really jumped from casual fun (no harm done if Ozai won’t learn about it) to the conclusion that boy she knew for what? a few hours at best will be her boyfriend and part of the future (military?) plans and understandable Chen freaked out and ran away. The taste of freedom affected even Azula, our so emotionally composed, clever girl, because again, a teenager, adolescent curiosity, lack of supervision and buzzing hormones are a dangerous mix. 

(I suspect Zuko getting Mai pregnant would be less scandalous than if Azula - the princess - ended with a bastard child at the age of 14/15. If Ozai would even allow the kid to be born.)

And what Lo and Li were doing the whole episode? Either giving some cryptic speech about how Ember Island is a magical place or encourage kids.

“Time to hit the beach!“ they said

while never bothering going with kids there

(or did Lo and Li have fun on their own ignoring the bunch of their temporary wards?).

And when Azula, Zuko and Ty Lee talked about Chen and why Azula didn’t betray their Royal Family status (and presumably of going to the night party)? Again, the two old women did nothing besides giving some more cryptic advice and saying “to the party!”.

Like, they were totally okay that Fire Royal Siblings (in range of age from 14 to 16) planned to stay at house of unknown boy(s) for the whole night. Again, Zuko is 16, at best almost 17, but Azula is 14 (at best 15) and I don’t think this is an appropriate age to let a girl - especially the princess you are responsible for - go to a party with presumably much older boys. 

(Unless this is why Azula demanded Zuko, her older brother, to be invited alongside her? Not like he checked out if she is alright before he was kicked out for the fight with Mai over some guy but I guess, with a sister like Azula it is easy to assume she doesn’t need babysitting, because Azula could and would kick Chen or anyone else’s ass if they pissed her off). 

My point is, Lo and Li could give the girls and Zuko some serious talk or at least ask to be careful or anything the supposed chaperons should say (or like,  outright demand from Zuko to keep an eye on his younger sister and the noble girls as the oldest and you know, the guy). Because Azula is first and foremost a princess, the same as Zuko is the prince and like, the Royal Family does not need any teenage drama and scandal (and from the previous episode we know Azula and Zuko are now the public figures at the capital).

I’m not sure if perceiving Lo and Li as some sort chaperons to the “banished for a weekend” Royal Siblings was author’s intention or not, but there is something incredible funny how those old women introduced as strict teachers criticizing Azula for not perfect hairstyle while she is working on her lighting technique - a skill absolutely amazing to have at the age of 14 - won’t even bother to keep an eye on the same girl and just let the whole bunch of emotionally stunted and traumatized teenagers freely roam on the “magical” beach and go to night party to total strangers. It is pretty hilarious if not a bit sad. Because wow, Ozai did not give much fuck about any of his kids one way or another. 

Aaand this is what I get when rewatching ATLA as an adult lol.

I know this is animations for kids/teenagers, but what if Chen didn’t freak out? Would Azula be curious enough to experience something more than just a kiss? And well, we assume Chen and Ruon-Jian are in age close to Zuko & Azula (as if they were adults they would be enrolled into army, I think?) But there is still a room for them being older than Zuko who himself is two years older than Azula. Also, them inviting Ty Lee & Mai specifically for how they look without bothering to ask for their name and the way a group of boys cornered Ty Lee to the point she needed to chi-blocking all of them kinda gives me the feeling the party was an occasion for them to pick up girl for night or something along the way. Dunno if I read the scene/intention right but it gives that vibe I guess…?

Wrote some wholesomeness between Rick and Morty because I love writing about my favorite codependent little freaks <3! Kinda experimented with a new writing style, adding some (corny and unfunny) humor, and kinda like talking to the reader at times. Let me know what y'all think!

Rick was driving his spaceship, they just went on a long adventure that took multiple days, Rick groaned, ugh, he knew he would have some explaining to do to Beth when they got home. He knows that he promised that the adventures wouldn't be longer than a day, or that Rick would ask if he knew the adventures were going to be longer a day but it was out of his control! Did they think that he wanted to take Morty on adventures that took multiple days! No! He sighed, shit, what was he so angry for? He was occasionally glancing over at Morty, the poor boy was struggling to keep his eyes open and Rick groaned "You can sleep." Morty said "W-wh-what? N-no I'm not tir…." Rick sighed, the boy couldn't even finish his sentence, he was a bad liar. "I'm not a mon-burp-ster," Morty mumbled "C-c-could've fooled me." Then Rick gave him a glance that said "Watch it." and Morty stayed quiet, scoffing and crossing his arms. What was with this kid? He's been extra sassy and bratty on their adventures, what was his problem? "Jeez Morty, you're always so grumpy, you on your period or something!" Morty scoffed "Gross." Rick's head tilted, he guesses he didn't expect a high-energy reaction, since the boy was looking like he would knock out any second, but still, it was less fun. Rick sighed "As I was saying before you rudely interu-burp-pted me, I'm not a mons-burp-ter, well- I'm not that much of a monster, so just go to sleep and I'll w-burp-ake you when we get home, okay buddy? We got a way to go anyway." Morty mumbled something incoherent.

About a minute later, Rick felt a weight on his shoulder, he looked down, and saw Morty's tiny hands wrapped around his arm. He scoffed, of all the places Morty could sleep, he thought the most comfortable spot was his shoulder? Rick just rolled his eyes, how was he supposed to focus on driving this way, he wasn't going to shake the kid off though. What? It wasn't because he cared! It's just that…if he woke the kid up, he would be even more grumpy and bratty, yeah that's it. He saw some drool coming from Morty's mouth as he let out a soft laugh, how gross, Rick thought, somewhat fondly as he rolled his eyes. Still not the grossest thing he saw or at least knew that the kid did. He was a hormonal teenager, after all. But Rick prefered not to think about that for obvious reasons. He occasionally glanced at Morty, making sure he didn't move around too much when he was driving the car, he didn't want to wake the kid up- Oh c'mon quit making that face! This wasn't because he cared okay!? Like he said, the kid would be all grumpy and bratty if he woke him up beforehand, so stop trying to imply things!

Eventually he got home, it was dark out, about what Rick expected, the kid was still sleeping, Rick sighed as he picked the kid up. He winced at how light he was, he was lighter than a 14-year-old boy should be. The kid really needs to eat more, he really doesn't look his age. He wasn't suprised when people thought he was 12. He probably had the average weight of a 12-year-old, because he was definetily lighter than a 14-year-old should be. He's gonna keep an eye on his eating habits. He had to make sure he ate more, but of course he wasn't going to force him. He was probably going to just try to lightly encourage him to eat more, Morty always ate up encourage and praise, soaking it up like a dog. I mean he couldn't force him if he wanted to. Oh don't give him that look! He wasn't going to do it! What was he some kind of monster? ….Actually on second thought don't answer that. He hauled Morty over his shoulder, this was the easiest way to carry him, not that anyway was particually hard, he put his hand on the back of Morty's knee to steady him, as to not wake him up. Oh shush! This wasn't because he cared! Totally! He was just being practical, that was it!

He carried Morty to his room, holding onto him gently, and placing him down on his bed softly, not wanting to wake him up. He tucked Morty in as he tried to hide the fond smile on his face cough poorly cough Morty's body was so relaxed, his eyes closed in such a calm way, his eyebrows relaxed, his jaw slack, with some drool coming from his mouth, he heard his light snoring. Morty was really tiny, he had a baby face, he was so short, and his head was massive in comparison to his body, which was pretty tiny. He also had these big doe eyes, he definitely did not look 14. He quickly realized that he got lost in thought, and looked over at Morty's sleeping body, so relaxed, he never got to see him like this on their adventures. He was always running for his life and very stressed out, Rick would be lying if he said he didn't feel bad about some of the shit he put the kid through. He was definitely more desensitized and saw things that probably some adults haven't seen. Maybe he should stop...but he can't do that! He needs- He stopped that line of thought. Gross, he needs. He doesn't need anyone, he was Rick Sanchez! All he needed was himself and his flask, whatever, save it for therapy. Rick exhaled, ugh, listen to him, casually talking about therapy, he used to not even respect it, now he was paying for sessions, whatever. Rick looked over to Morty, he heard Morty mumbled in his "Love you, Grandpa Rick." Rick let out a silent gasp, but then he smiled, kissed Morty's forehead, ruffled his hair lightly, and went out, quietly closing the door behind him.

Autism & ADHD

I don’t even know where to begin, but I guess I’ll start with yesterday.

Yesterday, I had Leo’s feedback session after being evaluated last month for autism, ADHD, and dyslexia (unofficial evaluation- will explain more.). Leo is our youngest son and third to have a diagnosis. Leo has been diagnosed with ADHD and is on the cusp of dyslexia. It is recommended that he has outpatient therapy for his ADHD and an intensive therapy with a reading interventionist.

Leo has always been this fun, quick whit, energetic kid, but deep down I knew there was something more. I love this kid so much and yet every day it feels like I am in a battle with him. The constant playing referee between him and his brothers, constantly having to keep him busy, constantly feeling like a broken record because he does not listen at all. I AM EXHAUSTED.

Yet, these traits aren’t the only reason why I decided it was best to get him evaluated, it was actually his oldest brother, Adonis, that was the catalyst of having his younger brothers evaluated.

Adonis is our oldest, and the reason why I started this blog (Raising Baby Boy) 15 years ago when I was pregnant with him. Wow, typing that really made me gasp aloud. Yikes.

Anyhow, Adonis was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in June of 2023. After years of fighting and advocating for him, I finally was able to get answers, but getting my answer wasn’t the relief I had I hoped for. Adonis struggles with his diagnosis, and we have been struggling with navigating his diagnosis as well as navigating teenage hormones. Adonis struggled a lot with getting along with his brothers— more so with Leo and that’s been the case since Leo was a toddler. Adonis is sensitive to noise, doesn’t like music with lyrics, sometimes has a hard time with non verbal cues and socializing. He loves to build with Legos, play Geometry Dash, and adores cats. Adonis is a smart kid who sees the world black and white so sometimes navigating the gray area of life pose as a challenge for him. He’s still figuring it all out, as he should as an almost 14 year old boy though. I love him and although this journey is difficult right now, I have faith he will grow to accept this special part of him, and come to some understanding of his challenges so he may grow to advocate for himself.

After going through the evaluation with Adonis though, some of the questions in the evaluation made me think of Luca and after talking with a few close friends about Luca’s history of developmental delays and other signs I requested he be evaluated. In February of this year, Luca was evaluated and diagnosed with Level 1 Autism Spectrum disorder. I actually kind of took Luca’s diagnosis a bit hard because during the evaluation process I was second guessing myself, and I guess subconsciously prepared myself to hear that he wasn’t on the spectrum, so when I was presented with the results it felt like a punch in the gut. Not because of the diagnosis, because I questioned my gut feeling. I felt guilty for missing some of the signs and what I could’ve done better to be more attentive to his needs.

Luca is going to be 12 this year. I really don’t have anyone around me who’s had their children diagnosed with Autism in the preteen/teen stage, and in the grand scheme of things it’s not that big of deal but this feels hard navigating three new diagnosis at once. I have been playing referee with three very different personalities for such a long time without context that I feel like I need to start from scratch. I have lost my patience over the years and as much as my husband tries, I feel like I’m navigating this alone for the most part.

I love my boys so much- their quirks and all. I wouldn’t change them in the slightest; they are each special in their own right. I just don’t want to fail them as their mother. I want to parent more with patience and understanding. Meet them where they’re at.

So here we go, my journey as a Mama who struggles with ADHD herself parenting three awesome kids with their unique set of challenges.

Xoxo,

Mama Webster

I've finally figured out how to fit Shiny in the Tiny Tots AU if you'd like XD (of course you don't have to answer if you don't want to ^^)

- Originally I was gonna have Shiny the same age as Jessica (not just in this AU, but in general). However now that I'm developing her more, I think I'm gonna make her 14 rather than 10. So she's closer to Smartass' and Greasy's age group. She is also no longer in her magician phase because of this (though I'm thinking maybe this would be when she starts getting into dancing. Not club dancing! But like maybe she finds a way to sneak into a regular dance studio, sees all the people practicing, and decides that this is what she wants to do).

- Shiny is just starting out on her menace-to-society life XD she's just starting to shoplift, pick pocket people using her slight of hand skills, and she's getting better at lying. So she will not be an easy child like Stu or Roger.

- Since she's one of the older kids, Shiny would probably hang around Greasy, Smartass, and Wheezy more often than the little ones. I've already got ideas for how their relationships would be (though as I develop Shiny and the AU more, this may change).

With Wheezy, well he's the designated dad so we know where this is going XD Shiny tries to hide and deny it, but she does genuinely like him and trust him. She's just scared he's going to go away or something (still haven't figured out a blood family situation for her. But it definitely wouldn't be a happy one). So she tries to keep a safe emotional distance in case it does. As such, she's like Greasy in a sense that she's one of the more distant children of the group; wandering off on her own, not completely sharing what's going on with herself, etc. That and, she's a teenage girl. She does throw a bit of attitude his way every now and then (ngl I can see them having that same argument Lilo and Nani did at some point. Wheezy is stressed but worried for this kid, and Shiny is getting defensive because or hormones and she doesn't want to be emotionally vulnerable, "If I'm so much trouble, why don't you just drop me and go live your own life!?"). But she does still listen to him; if he asks her to watch over one of the kids, she'll stay. If he offers some advice, she'll keep it in mind, etc.

With Greasy, they actually get along pretty well, and can work together to be menaces XD They have similar backgrounds and wanderlust. Though Shiny, even at 14, has more control than him. She likes Wheezy, so if Greasy has gone off on his own even though Wheezy asked him to stay, Shiny will volunteer to go find him and bring him back. Or if he's being a jerk to anybody in the group, she'll lightly smack his arm or something and tell him to cut it out, etc (she wouldn't care if it was a stranger though). I can see Greasy offering her tips he picked up off the street, and even looking out for her if they're out together. Maybe she winds up opening up to him first because they're so close even.

These two aren't related, but I like the idea of Smartass and Shiny developing a sibling relationship XD Shiny goes off to bug him when Greasy isn't around, she calls him Shrimp because he's small and pink, and Smartass is just so damn tired of this crazy kid when he already has to deal with everybody else XD but I can also see them having an emotional moment too. Like Shiny finds Smarty on his own, she can sense there's something wrong with him and for once she's calm. She sits with him, maybe they don't talk because she knows he's not like that and she understands not wanting to share your trauma. But she just sits with him, not pestering him or anything. Just letting him know he isn't alone.

- Even though she hangs around the big kids more, Shiny does love the little ones too ^^ Stupid- she adores the baby boy. Who doesn't? She will attempt to steal him from one of the others if she wants to hold him XD Psycho, she feels like he should be her missing cousin with how energetic they both are. And Poppy honestly gravitated towards her; Poppy, like Roger with Jessica, thinks Shiny is so cool. And she reminds her of her best friend Psycho, so that's even better in her head ^^ Shiny absolutely does not mind and bonds with her.

- If Shiny ever found out about any of their home situations, she'd be furious and sad on their behalf, and she'd want to confront the adults herself. Even the ones who might not even be in the picture anymore. And she totally asks Wheezy why he hasn't adopted everyone already XD "You're already their dad! Why not make it legal???"

- Shiny also joins in with Wheezy about teaching Jessica and Poppy how to deal with creeps.

This is all I got for now. And again, this may change in the future. But here you go anyway XD I hope you like reading these ^^

These were SO fun to read yesterday!! ^^ I love them! Especially Shiny trynna get Wheezy to just ADOPT them XDDD I can imagine this scene going, like- she tries to storm off and find Poppy's parents or something, and Wheezy catches up with her (Doesn't grab her. Very important. Maybe he can grab up the little ones and just sorta carry them off when they misbehave but not past Smartass- and not Smartass!! 😅😅) like uh uh nope you get back here feisty pants and she whirls on HIM.

He's just like... damnit. But takes it cuz this is one of his kids.

Kamala Harris Brat Edit

I am getting close to saying goodbye to my youth, or at least what social media understands by youth. I am a millenial, a typical one, who is eternally frustrated by the economy, having my childhood dreams being crushed by reality and trying still to live up to the kind of life that my parents had built for them during the 90's. I have just one more year to say goodbye to my 20s, I don't think I am totally ready but I am eager to embrace being 30.

I wanted to be an artist ever since I started to make art myself, which for me was at the age of four. I started to paint at four years old, started to write at 14 years old and started to write music at 16. My parents were supportive of my art as long as it remained as a hobby, and they pushed me to have a "real job". When I got to university, I was so depressed that I couldn't imagine myself in the future. I was a closeted trans girl, still very much a teenager, I didn't know what I wanted to be. I didn't even know who I was. During college, all I wanted was to drown myself in vodka, write sad music and party with my friends until 4 a.m., which was destructive but very elucidating to my gender experimentations.

To the year I graduated in psychology, I had tried drag (it wasn't really for me, I hated the makeup process), I had written my first book (still unpublished) and I had travelled abroad and met different people and different cultures. I still felt incredibly unhappy. Very much out of touch with my body and confused about my sexuality - sex wasn't a very interesting idea to me before my hormones. I wanted desperately to be someone else, to escape somewhere, to own a body and an identity that could be mine.

After my graduation, I got my first job and I was determined to start my transition - with or without my parents approval - I had in mind this stupid idea that you could only have a successful "passing" transition if you took hormones up until 24. I realized that if I kept living as a man, I would kill myself. And so I tried, I wasn't very good at it either.

Getting used to a new body took a long portion of my time. At some point I thought about detransitioning, I was depressed and suicidal in my first two years, I had problems with alcoholism and prescription abuse, I tried to mutilate my own penis, and I developed a case of atypical anorexia. Besides that, I had fell in love with a boy - a friend, a very close friend - that never felt the same way about me. I am still grieving from that, I admit that I am still angry, but I also can't ignore that my relationship with him marked me in ways I hadn't been touched before: I understood that maybe I don't like being alone as much as I thought I liked, I learned about my own sexual fantasies, I strengthed by relationship with my mother and talked about daddy issues in therapy, I learned that I take care of myself better when I have someone else to take care of, I understood my bisexuality, I wrote several love poems and from that I got my first published book.

A lot happened. I feel so tired, I just wish I had quiet inside my head. We ended up both hurt, I, broken-hearted and he with a broken face. Still, I have to admit that even though he isn't part of my life anymore, he still is a part of who I am and of my history. I hope some day I can recollect those memories and feel thankful to that.

Studying psychology was pretty much a mistake. I don't have one single bone in my skeleton that wants to help people. I don't have enough empathy for that. I'd rather do un-serious things, like write articles about clothes, make movies, appear in photoshoots, things that my parents and the current economy of the country won't consider "a real job".

I want to be able to write for the rest of my life, but I get now, closer to 30, that I need a "job" in order to fund my "career". But I don't want to have to become an instagram sensation to do that. The mental health field does not pay well, and you work long hours. I want to be a writer, but I also want to have my own place, I want to travel to Italy, I want to buy Dior makeup, and I want to have money to pay a lawyer next time I hit a boyfriend on the face. I feel stuck in a hamster wheel, for the last 10 years of my life I had lunch with my parents in weekdays and dined with friends on weekends, now maybe I realize that I want to have dinner with someone else on weekdays, and only have lunch with my parents on weekends.

The first thing I saw this morning was a Kamala Harris Brat Edit, with Von Dutch at the background while they played the same memes on repeat. That is a political campaign strategy to target young voters from the United States, since older voters, voters that don't know what Brat or who Charli XCX are, probably will already vote blue. Gen Z and Millenials are the undecided about whether or not voting is worthy a while. I understood that, and I thought I could do that. Yes, I could probably gain money with that.

hii can u write some fluff about recordstore!harry?

in which harry can't help acting like a caveman around you, but can you blame him?

Recordstore romance- Masterlist, Author’s Note & Warnings 

Property of Harry Edward Styles / alternatively, read on wattpad

Primal tendencies (word count: 1k)

You were waiting for the last customers to leave before Harry could finally close up the record store and you could go. You had no plans for the evening, just a stroll around the neighbourhood probably until Harry dropped you off at your dorm.

You were covering the register for him while he stepped out for a smoke and didn’t hear him come back in from out back until his voice had you slip your headphones off your ears.

“Oi! What’re you staring at, eh?”

Your eyes went from Harry’s irritated expression to the two boys he was unleashing his wrath at. Two 14-15 year olds that were browsing a section right across from you.

“N-nothing, just this… Bowie album, yeah”

Harry exhaled audibly through his nose “Get the fuck out before I make you a collar out of that record. C’mon, scram!”

“Harry!” you gasped indignantly, grabbing him by the elbow as the bell chimed signalling the door had opened and closed “What’s gotten into you?”

“What?... They were staring at you!”

Your brows furrowed “I mean… ok? Rude, but still. You didn’t have to kick them out like that.”

“They were staring right down your cleavage” he raised an eyebrow “I’d say it’s a bit more than rude. And there’s no Bowie album down your cleavage, is there?” he cocked his head to the side irritatedly

You pressed your lips together to stifle a laugh “Harry… they’re hormonal teenage boys!”

“Yeah? So?”

You rolled your eyes, sighing smilingly “C’mon. I guess at least that’s one way to close up early”

He nodded, still visibly frustrated and you waited by the door for him to finish up gathering his stuff and closing the register.

As soon as he locked up after you stepped out he put his arm over your shoulder and pulled you to his side, walking off.

“You cold?” he ran his hand up and down your arm.

“No, I’m good” but before you even got to finish your sentence, he was already shrugging off his denim jacket and placing it over your shoulders, overlapping its sides at your front and then resuming your original position

You clung onto the jacket at the front, keeping it close to your chest “I’m sorry” you mumbled

“Hm? What for, love?”

“I dunno… I didn’t really realize this top was so low cut, I shouldn’t have worn it to your work, probably-- and I was leaning over the register, didn’t even realize they were getting an eyeful…”

“Y/N, doesn’t make it ok for them to have been ogling like that no matter what you’d been wearing. It’s not your fault they’re little pervs”

“Yeah? What’s all this about then?” you gestured toward the jacket and watched him bite his lip

“Well, I mean- it’s gotten chilly”

“Harry” you gave him a knowing look

He scoffed “I know, I-- look, I’m sorry. I’m not trying to be a dick. And I really mean it, you can wear whatever you want, obviously, but I’m already worked up and if I see another guy stare at your tits tonight I’m gonna fuckin’ lose it”

You slowed down and he was forced to eventually stop walking and face you “Where’s all this coming from, hm? Talk to me. I’ve worn stuff like this before and it never prompted street fights before” you elbowed him playfully, noting how uncomfortable he was

“I feel like the biggest jerk for acting like a possessive caveman” he raised an exasperated eyebrow and you threw your head back laughing

“Feel free to club me in the head and pull me by the hair to your cave, tarzan” he rolled his eyes but you didn’t miss the blush in his cheeks and you twirled a strand of his long hair around your finger “You’ve got the hair to match. And besides” you pulled him in closer tugging at it “I love it when you get all jealous like this. It’s primal, and it’s hot” you near whispered the latter part, staring at his lips and sure enough he didn’t miss a beat, kissing you ardently.

“I’m just…” he pulled away, breathing heavily “I’m just sick of having to sneak around all the time. Feel like I never get you all to myself. You barely get the dormroom all to yourself, and my folks are always home at night. I just wanna take my time with you, really savour you. Get my fill of you” he pulled you flush against him by the hips and you stifled a moan feeling how hard he was against your lower belly “Sure it’s fun, and I know you love the idea of getting caught--”

“I do not!” you protested, pushing him by the shoulders but he didn’t even budge

“Yes you do” he smirked “And I do, too. Though I would have to kill anyone that actually walked in on us and saw anything, of course”

“Of course” you laughed “Your point, tarzan?”

“That’s not a thing, by the way” he narrowed his eyes at you “My point is… maybe it’s time i looked for my own place, moved out” he shrugged

“Yeah? I like the sound of that”

“Yeah? You’d come visit?” he bit his lower lip, getting impossibly close

You shrugged nonchalantly “I mean, I could be persuaded”

“Sleep over, even?”

“Maybe”

He smiled widely at you, before stealing a kiss “Hm. Didn’t even have to pull you by the hair or anything” “Hey! False advertising!”

He pulled you back into his side as you resumed your walking “Oh relax, I’m not taking away all your kinks” he bent to your earlobe even though it was just the two of you on that quiet street leading up to your dorm “Just trying to unlock some new ones. Starting with you being as loud as you want but never get to, how’s that sound, love?”

A/N: missed these two. up to no good as usual 💀🔥

What are some of your more... rated R TimSteph headcanons?

Answering this one because I don't have to fig fof issue numbers for this. (Except oops I did cuz I'm not fucking around today I guess.)

I don't have like...a ton of headcanons here, but I do have some.

For starters, while I'm very ace, I don't believe either Tim or Steph are ace. I could make a case for Steph being demi!ace, but eh. It's not a priority headcanon for me.

But hey hey, that's not what we came here for.

I feel like, and I could ramble about this forever, that their first time would be something very special. While others have written fics where Tim isn't a virgin when this occurs, imma keep him as such to put them on equal ground. (I am aware that Steph is not a virgin, but I refuse to believe Dean was a smooth ride. She deserves better. )

Tim did have that one instance where Ari wanted to cross that threshold with him, (and they were 14!!! Yeesh!!!) and Tim turned her down. Nor because he didn't want to, just not yet. It's suggested that Tim at this point is a wait till marriage guy, and throughout Robin he's consistently not pushy or really focused on that kind of physical connection. He likes smoochies, but he's tame otherwise. Fast forwarding to RR, his hormones have caught up with him a bit, but while he's thinking about things more, he's not acting on them.

Tim is not a one night stand guy imo. Tim wants emotional connection, he wants trust, and this is mirrored by Steph who has a whole different experience with this matter.

Stephanie has suffered several counts of sexual assault. As a child there was Jim Murray who was a threat to her, who fully intended to violate her when she was eleven. (Robin #111)

There was Dean who was definitely not a teenager who she was with way too young, and he only came back around after she'd given up her kid to what? Keep fooling around? Gross. (Robin #80)

And then there's the heavy HEAVY implication that Black Mask sexually assaulted her as a part of her torture in War Games. (Robin #130)

Super disturbing comments to make towards a 16yo.

WHOA! WE'RE GETTING DARK!!

Yes we are, but it's crucial to the convo about sex.

Stephanie also desperately needs trust. She needs care and gentleness she needs patience and understanding. Tim already being slow to the finish line himself, I think he's a perfect match in this scenario, and her natural empathy is also a good match for him.

Are we getting into vulnerability again? Fuck yeah we are.

Shedding masks and layers is a symbol of their growth as a couple. Whether literal or metaphorical, these two took their sweet time opening up 100% to one another. That last layer shed would be an emotional explosion for them. There's not a single barrier after that, that's about as intimately as they can know each other. I think in a way, even by RR, Tim is already kinda there. If they stuck around each other a bit more, worked up a better repertoire, if something had started between them and Steph suggested it? I don't think there would be much pushback from him. But Steph needs more reassurance. She's down for trust, but it's more than that. She wants reliability, stability, she wants love. I think when that shoe drops, it'll be an easy decision for her.

There's the idea that Tim being the boy virgin would be bumpy and uncoordinated, but let me plant a dif idea in your head. Tim is an overachiever, he's a planner, he's meticulous and hyper focused, he's diligent. Watch him try to work overtime to get it right. Even if he finished fast due to emotional overstimulation of experiencing the that kind of uninhibited love and affection and giving all of yourself to one person, I want someone to tell me that he wouldn't still try to make it better for Steph. He's a good guy, he cares for the people he loves, let him show it. Let him also ask WAY too many times if what he's doing is okay. He has to be sure.

And for sure, Timmy's a giver. 😏😏😏

I do think, as do many, that they're pretty vanilla. I don't think they're hopping onto any crazy kinks. Look me dead in the eye and tell me either of them likes being tied up after looking at the panel of Steph above, and the fact that in RR issue #24, Tim was also tied up and nearly r*ped.

(And I haven't even talked about Tim being sexually assaulted by Rose Wilson but I'm sure that puts a damper on certain types of kinky shit)

I know there's a heavy fandom focus on pegging for TimSteph, and while I'm not going to discredit it, I think a lot of fans use it to hyperfeminize Tim or use it as an excuse to push the hypersexual Steph headcanon that I despise. I don't think either of them is truly trying to dominate the other. I think they are taking turns taking care of each other. They switch it up.

As far as how kinky it gets, I'm firm on Tim being a biter. I think there's the occasional bout of "can't keep hands off each other" neediness, but not so much that it would happen in public. (ie: they're not ducking into a bathroom at a restaurant any time soon, or parking the Redbird somewhere to have a go. Well...maybe. I do think they're not as frequent as a TV drama, but there's a sort of unspoken cue that they have where they just know what they need. Maybe it's not a full go, maybe it's just a bit of intimates touches and lip/bite marks in extra places, but it's just a re-centering for them. Shower sex? Sure. Wash away troubles and engage in a bit of dopamine heavy fun times. This also works for bubble baths.

I think for them sex isn't so much a "I need this feeling" it's an "I need to feel you" type of dealio.

Sex is connection. It's a warmth that melts them together. And yes, Tim has absolutely cried during it a handful of times, as well as blurting out some very awkward sweet nothings in the moment because he's a bit overwhelmed and he becomes unfiltered. Dirty talk? Nah. Mildly incoherent comments about how incredible Steph is and how he wants to be with her forever? Yah.

Just let them get lost in the physical love that neither of them have received or experienced before. LET THEM.

THANK YOU ANON!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved this one, I hope you weren't looking for something dirtier cuz instead we went into angst territory! Pro tip: it will always be angst territory with me. 💜❤

Worst Flash Storylines and Plot Ideas of All Time

As you’ve probably ascertained from the general contents of this blog, the Flash is my favorite comic book series. I love the characters and most of the stories. However, just like any series that’s been around for eighty years (counting the Jay Garrick stuff), the Flash does, unfortunately, have some truly terrible stories and plot ideas. 

In terms of terrible plot ideas that didn’t completely ruin the surrounding stories: 

1. Barry Allen uses the Mirror Master’s mirrors to manipulate Iris into agreeing to start dating him again (Flash #109). Creepy, Barry. Just creepy. The story is great Silver Age fun otherwise. 

2. Iris West: meanest woman alive. Iris was, by and large, incredibly awful to Barry up until maybe about a year before their 1966 marriage. Almost every time she shows up in an early Silver Age issue, you will admire her daring and independence (this is good) and be bewildered as to why on Earth Barry would want to spend time with a woman who is constantly calling him slow, lazy, and ambition-less (this is not good). It doesn’t really affect any one issue too much, but when read in a conglomerate, she starts looking really awful. Although as bad as Early Silver Age Iris seems as a romantic interest, she’s got nothing on Silver Age Superman and Lois Lane, the most dysfunctional couple in the DCU. 

3. Wally West’s zero-effort code name and costume (Flash #110). It really could not be more obvious how little effort the writers were putting into creating this character. The duplicate origin is also pretty cheesy, but there are enough differences from Barry’s origin for it not to frustrate me. But the name “Kid Flash” and the fact that his first costume was literally identical to Barry’s just feel incredibly lazy. Barry and Wally do have an adorable dynamic in the issue, though, so it’s by no means all bad. 

4. Barry Allen waiting an entire year after his marriage to tell his wife that he’s really the Flash. Frustrating and unnecessary; especially since Joan Garrick had been in on her husband’s secret since the 1940s. 

5. Iris Allen is FROM THE FUTURE. I both love and hate this idea. It’s so perfectly comic-booky, but at the same time, it opened the floodgates for the Allen family being a confusing, time-displaced mess. 

6. The Trial of Barry Allen. This one’s weird. I like many of the individual issues in this arc, and I actually think the last two issues are really great as an ending for Barry Allen’s original run, but this storyline dragged on for waaaaaay too long. There’s a reason I call it the Arc that Never Ends. Also, the titular trial is actually the least interesting part of the entire storyline. His battles with the Rogues and Kadabra are far more interesting. 

7. Wally West’s borderline creepy, chauvinistic attitude towards women under Mike Baron (and, to a much lesser extent, William Messner-Loebs). There’s being a hormonal twenty-something, and then there’s going through girlfriends at the rate other people change their socks. Messner-Loebs mostly avoided this issue by making it clear that Wally was under intense psychological stress that was negatively impacting his behavior, but under Baron and in some of his JLE appearances, he comes across as a real creep around women. 

8. Kadabra overkill under Mark Waid: I like Kadabra, but when he’s the main villain in like four distinct arcs, it gets to be a bit much. It’s like modern Eobard. He is legitimately written well, though, so he doesn’t drag down any of the stories too much. 

9. Pointlessly Dead Rogues: Killing off the Rogues in Underworld Unleashed for no good reason (the rest of the story is great, especially the Trickster). 

10. Pointlessly Dead Rogues 2: Electric Boogaloo: The Golden Glider’s pointless death to build up a character who was himself killed two issues later. (The rest of the story is decent.) Also, the treatment of Lisa in general post-Crisis is frustrating, since she becomes considerably more unhinged than she was before. 

11. Any time Waid tried to write McCulloch, with the exception of Flash vol. 2 #105 (and even there, he seemed off). It’s like he forgot Evan wasn’t Sam. 

12. Apparently, the Top trying to blow up both Central City and half the world makes him a loser? Also, he suddenly hates Piper for no readily apparent reason. (At least the story had some good Piper and Wally bits.) 

13. BARRY ALLEN HAS A SECRET EVIL TWIN! DUN DUN DUN! (The rest of the story, where we get to meet a whole whack of interesting future Flashes, is actually pretty good, but whoo boy, the Malcolm reveal feels like it came straight out of a soap opera.) 

14. In order for Captain Cold to ANGST, the Golden Glider’s pointless death remained in place for over ten years. It did give us a really, really good Capt. Cold story, at least...but it’s still fridging. 

15. Rainbow Raider’s mean-spirited murder by Blacksmith. Poor Roy. 

16. Albert Desmond becomes Hannibal Lecter, only twenty times as rude, for a Gotham Central arc that would’ve been terrific without him as the main villain. 

17. Owen Mercer is an idiotic child murderer and gets killed by the Rogues. Why was this necessary? (The rest of Blackest Night: The Flash is pretty good.) 

18. Josh Jackam-Mardon’s murder. The murder of small children for shock value is pretty gross. Especially since nothing was ever really done with it. 

19. Barry’s PARENTS ARE DEEEEAAAAD! (Okay, it’s really just his mom, but still. This is a very frustrating retcon, since originally his parents were alive and well until after his own death.) 

20. Albert Desmond was Barry’s jerk coworker; which never impacted the plot or led to anything. As a result, it’s just another frustrating retcon. 

21. Sam Scudder murdered someone before becoming the Mirror Master. Yet another Johns retcon that never went anywhere and only serves to darken the Silver and Bronze Age stories after the fact. 

22. Flashpoint (a decent story) wiped out a whole bunch of characters I really liked from existence for several years. Evan McCulloch’s still not back. 

23. Giving the Rogues metahuman powers doesn’t suit them, on the whole. They work better without them. 

24. Roy’s second pointless, brutal death in (I think) Forever Evil. 

25. IT WAS MEEEEE, BARRY! After serving as the main villain for like six arcs in eight years, I’m glad that Eobard finally seems to be getting a rest. The level of bad things he was responsible for was getting ridiculous. 

26. Sam/Lisa. WHY? (The only time it even kind of worked was in Forever Evil.) 

In terms of entire storylines I didn’t like: 

1. The Flash: The Most Terribly Written Man Alive. Poor Bart is aged up with no adequate explanation, loses all the traits that made him a likeable character, fights some awful villains, and then is murdered by the badly OOC Rogues. Meanwhile, Inertia goes from an at least somewhat sympathetic villain to a complete psychopath with little explanation, a murder is retconned into one of Captain Cold’s reformed periods, the Pied Piper and the Trickster completely forget that they’re supposed to be reformed, Abra Kadabra inexplicably teams up with the Rogues despite generally being a solo operative, and all of the Rogues act like total morons, willingly following a teenage speedster for no adequately explained reason. UGH. 

2. Countdown to Infinite Crisis: Even though Piper and Trickster were probably the best part of Countdown, that isn’t saying much. Both of them are uncharacteristically stupid (especially James), and James is a grade-A jerk to Piper for no reason. Also, both of them continue to forget that they reformed, and then James gets brutally murdered and Piper almost loses his mind. Also, the other Rogues cameo, and continue to act like idiots. Countdown: it really does ruin everything it touches. 

Superboy Prime will kill you! He’ll kill you to DEATH! And after you read Countdown, you’ll wish he had killed you to death. 

3. The Identity Crisis Tie-In Retcon: So, you know all that awesome character development the Rogues have had over the years? Well, forget all that, because it was all just Roscoe brainwashing them! Which was something he could definitely do before this story! And why did he do this? Why, because Barry Allen, one of the most upstanding men in the DCU, brainwashed him! Also, apparently, the Top had a huge bodycount that we never heard about back in the Bronze Age, because we need even MORE grimdark retcons for our cheerful Silver/Bronze Age history! I like Geoff Johns’ work, I really do....but BOY HOWDY does he need to lay off on the retcons sometimes. 

4. Identity Crisis: With the exception of Owen’s introduction and the establishment of the relationship between him and Digger, this story was pretty awful all around. More specifically, as far as the Flash was concerned, it was responsible for Digger’s second pointless death. It also killed off poor Jack Drake and poor, mistreated Sue Dibney, who deserved MUCH better. And the Justice League, including Barry, are A-OK with brainwashing, apparently. Comics are fun! 

These last two stories are pretty recent, and they did have some parts I liked, but on the whole I felt they also belonged on the list. 

5. The Trickster finally returns! Hurrah! Except it turns out that he’s way more like the Joker now than he ever was before, and he mind-controls the city in a super-creepy way. A very disappointing return for the character, especially since it was set up really well. 

6. Forever Evil: Captain Cold becomes a murderous dictator with a stupid Santa Beard, all of the Rogues get horrible costumes, and Sam completes his mutation into Evan-in-all-but-name. There are some good characters bits in the story (even for Cold), but on the whole, I found the story to just be unlikeable and depressing and thought Cold was pretty out-of-character. Poor Commander Cold....

So, what are your least favorite Flash storylines and plot ideas? 

[sweetestpopcorn]

Hey, any thoughts on Aegon III and Viserys II’s relationship with their children? It’s strange, cus I personally think Aegon is actually the more caring father. His daughter Daena worshiped him and inherited his pendant. And I don’t really see his children’s personality hinting neglects from parents. (ok, Baelor is a creep but that’s way after Aegon’s death for him to show it ) But what Viserys done to Naerys makes me questioning if he is a Jaehaerys-like father. It’s just so sad he and Larra ended like this, which affected their children’s lives even further.

Hi there Anon 🤗

Unfortunately we know very little if anything. I am inclined to agree with you, however, that even with all his trauma (and overall withdrawal from most pleasures of life) , Aegon III did seem to have a closer bond with at least his daughter Daena, than Viserys II did with any of his children. She did worship him, inherited his pendant as you so correctly pointed out, and even liked to wear black as he did. Daena only took to wearing white to shame her brother Baelor. She also did name her son after her grandfather Daemon - Daena here you go Queen: 👑 - so bullsh:t at the court and history books aside and I have no doubt she was quite proud to descend from the Rogue Prince and the Realm's Delight. As. She. Should. #haterscry

Hum... I think Viserys might indeed have been a more neglectful father than Jaehaerys was. In fact, Jaehaerys was quite warm as a father and present for many of his children having a very close bond with his eldest sons Aemon and Baelon. And do not think he did not suffer at the loss his children because he did. We see several such moment in Fire and Blood. Even with Saera who he was most unkind to we do see regret at the end of his life, so I do not think the criticism he gets as a father is earned and for the most part, people absolutely ignore the good and just point out the bad. He did a lot of wrong - as every parent out there does and will keep doing - but for the most part I think he tried his best. He was a man of his time and he had his limitations but he was much better than most out there.

But back to Aegon III and Viserys II.

The fact remains that Viserys II's position was far from being an easy one. He was parted from his family at 7. Lived as a hostage, a very well-treated one yes, but a hostage still. Married off to Larra at 12. Returned to his home to find his family gone for the most part. Became a father at 13 and again at 14/15.

He was very much a boy, precocious as he might be, and at that age an year or two make a LOT of difference both physically and emotionally as well.

Viserys Targaryen was not ready for any of the things he was thrusted into: marriage and fatherhood. If 13 is shocking enough for a girl, 12 is even more so, especially for a boy, as it is well know that - generally speaking exceptions do apply - boys enter adolescence later than girls do.

While I am sure his teenage hormones might have been delighted to get la:d, the situation he was in was not a normative one, not even for his universe. If memory serves right, I don't recall another character - especially male - being married so soon and becoming a father at such a young age. The fact that Larra then left him absolutely did nothing of good for him, and if anything, it worsened the relationship he had with his children.

I wish I could be harsher with him but besides me really liking Viserys II, the fact that he became a father at 13 and had s£x at 12 makes me very uncomfortable to do so. He was just... so damn young... like an absolute baby who had no one to protect him and only ambitious people wanting to use him for their own advantage. My heart breaks at both him and Aegon a thousand times. And George, for this and so much more, you are heartless af.

But here I am still reading your sh:t so touché old man.

All the best to you, Anon 🤗

King of my heart

Summary: Poor boy meets rich girl. They fall in love; the rest is a case of hide and seek.

Warnings: angst, shitty parents, love-struck Dean, teenage love, mentions of oral sex, fluff, rich/poor trope, secret relationship, making-out, romance, loss of virginity, protected sex, light smut, mentions of sexual harassment/groping (not Dean)

A/N: Inspired by Taylor Swift’s ‘King of my heart’. Lyrics are taken from the song.

Age of 10

The boy looks around the large entrance hall of your home, nosily listening to anything his father discusses with a man wearing a suit costing more than his parents’ house. “The boy can help to water the plants, but he must stay away from my daughter.”

“Yes, Sir,” John grits out, giving your father an obedient nod, hating himself for it. “Dean can help me water the plants and mow the lawn, Sir.”

“Good. I will be out for a meeting until six. I want the garden don till then or you won’t get paid,” turning on his heels, your father sneers at the boy watching him with wide eyes. “Remember, he stays away from my princess.”

“Yes, Sir,” John rolls his eyes, watching your father walk out of the house. “Phew, we better get started, Dean. Do not forget,” John looks down at his son, a serious expression on his face. “No talking to the girl, okay.”

“Why should I talk to her?” Dean mutters, not liking girls at all.

“That is not the answer I want to her, son. STAY AWAY FROM THE GIRL,” John speaks louder, and you sneak out of the kitchen to watch the foreign man scold a boy. Whilst you watch the man walk toward the backyard the boy turns around, grinning at you.

“Hi,” you wave at him, stepping closer as he tries to ignore you. “I am Y/N, what’s your name?” Dean learned it is impolite to not tell someone his name after they introduced themselves, so he steps closer, holding out his hand. 

“Dean, I will water your plants.” You fiddle with your dress, looking up at the taller boy with green eyes which seem to sparkle. 

“You’re tall and cute,” you giggle, stepping closer to peck his cheek. “I got a cactus in my room, you can water it too and we can play later.”

“Sorry, your dad doesn’t want me to talk to you, sweetheart,” you gasp, liking the nickname he gave you. “I got to help my dad.”

“You know, I can watch. Dad can’t get mad at you if I follow you to the backyard with my cactus.” Dean nods, giving you a soft smile when you peck his cheek again. His cheeks heat up, slowly turning red. 

“Dean, what takes you so long?” John barks at his son, making your new friend flinch. “Come on, hurry. We do not get paid if we can’t finish work till six.”

You watch the man mow the lawn, giving orders to Dean now and then. The man didn’t dare to talk to you or order you around as he does with his son, but you could see he didn’t like you followed Dean outside.

“She said I must water her cactus, Sir. What should I do? It’s the boss’s daughter, dad,” John nods, watching you swoon for his son. “I’ll water it and we are done.”

“Son, she’s nice but still the daughter of the most influential man in town. We cannot lose the job, okay. The garage, I just bought it. I need money to buy more tools,” John squeezes his sons’ shoulder, sighing deeply at the looks you give his eldest son. “Do not get yourself into trouble, Dean.”

“Thank you, Dean. My cactus looks so much better now,” you squeal, following John with your eyes when he walks toward the tool shed. “Will you come back soon?”

Dean nods, giving you a smirk as he leans closer to peck your lips. It is the first time a boy did something like this. You giggle before you step closer to press your lips to Deans, catching him by surprise.

“Now you are my prince,” running off, the cactus still in your arms you swoon.

You kissed a boy for the first time, and it felt great.

Age of 14

“Daddy, I hate school. All the other girls are mean,” you whine, watching your father grab his jacket. “Can’t you talk to the teacher? I want to change my classes.”

“Y/N, we don’t always get what we want,” patting your head your father sighs before he barks orders at Dean who wants to take care of the lawn. “You better make your work worth my money, boy. Do not forget the roses and I dare you to even look at my princess.” Your father is gone before you can tell him about the mean things the girls said.

“Yes, Sir,” Dean mutters under his breath when you walk out of the house to watch him fight with the lawnmower. “Your father is an idjit.”

“He’s still my dad, but you are not wrong, Dean,” you watch Dean take his jacket off, biting your lip as he looks at you with those piercing green eyes. “Haven’t seen you for a while. My father sent me to a new school.”

“I’ll work during summer holidays to make some money,” explaining he wants to help his dad Dean smirks when you step closer to look up at him.

“You grew even more,” you sigh, liking you must look up at Dean. “The girls at school, they all have a boyfriend and made fun of me. I don’t have one.”

“No boyfriend…huh?” Dean turns his attention toward you, the lawnmower is long forgotten when he cups your cheek, glancing at your lips. You feel your heart race when he presses his lips to yours, tasting your cherry lipstick. “I can be your secret boyfriend, sweetheart.”

Your heart swells and you whimper, nodding eagerly when Dean kisses you again. “I can help you with your work. How about I water the plants and cut the roses? We can spend more time together before my dad comes home that way.”

“Deal, sweetheart.”

Dean and you spend the afternoon watching movies, eating snacks, and cursing your father for being, as Dean would name him, a ‘son of a bitch with a stick in his ass’.

It was the best day of your life until your father caught you and Dean.

“He will never get close to you again,” dragging Dean out of your room your father glares at the young boy. “I told him to stay away from you.”

“He helped me with my homework, dad. I am bad at mathematics and Dean offered his help. It was my fault, daddy.” You sniffle, giving your father your best puppy dog eyes. “Dean, he refused to go to my room, but it was too hot outside and I felt dizzy. Please, it was not his fault. He needs the job, daddy. Please…”

“Fine. If you say it was not his fault, I believe you, princess,” you nod, hoping your father will not see through your lie. “He’ll never enter your room again or his job is gone.”

Age of 16

Dean watches you walk out of the house, ignoring him completely. Your secret friendship or rather a relationship did not last for long. Sooner or later it was doomed to end as you went to a private school for girls and Dean, well he met a lot of girls at his school.

“You look pretty, sweetheart,” he husks, voice deeper now, manly. You ignore his words, try to concentrate on your homework. “Homework during summer holidays again, Y/N? You should go out and have some fun. You’re sixteen now.”

“Unlike you, I got better things to do than hanging out with girls,” you spat, ignoring he steps closer to look at you. He tries to catch your attention, standing behind you to sniff at your hair. “Apple shampoo, my favorite.”

“What do you want Dean? I think you have enough girls giving you attention, you do not need me,” your voice cracks when you turn to walk back into the house.

“Your father, he threatened John to ruin his business if I ever dare to get close to you again. I think he saw us. Your father saw me kissing you goodbye, Y/N. Don’t ask me what John did after he almost lost his business due to my, as he calls it, hormonal nonsense.” Dean huffs, running his fingers through his hair. 

“He threatened your father?” Turning around you meet Dean’s eyes for the first time in over a year. “Is that true, Dean?”

“I swear, cross my heart,” Dean mumbles. “I wanted to call you, but dad wouldn’t let me, sweetheart. I never forgot about you. I don’t know why your father allowed me to work this summer again.”

“Oh, I see,” you look up at Dean, batting your eyelashes. “I’ve missed…” His lips are on yours before you can end your line. “Missed you, Dean.”

“I’ve missed you too, Y/N. You’ve got no clue how hard it was not to kiss your lips,” he’s slipping his tongue inside, moaning when you wrap your arms around his neck. “You taste like cherries, sweetheart.”

Dean grins when you tell him you bought the cherry lipstick only for him…

Age of 18

“Son of a bitch, Y/N,” Dean groans, eagerly licking into your mouth whilst you grind against the growing bulge in his pants. “If you don’t stop, I’ll rip this goody in two shoes girls’ school uniform off your body and mark you.”

“You would do so, wouldn’t you?” You cup the back of his head, pressing his lips to yours. “Daddy is out of town, Dean.”

“You’re such a bad girl,” you whimper feeling Dean’s hand creep toward your panties. “Didn’t you get enough last time? Was my tongue not enough for you, sweetheart?”

“No, I want you, Dean,” his fingers graze your clit, letting another spark feed the fire he lit weeks ago. “I got condoms.”

“Jesus, sweetheart. If you keep on talking like that, I’ll take you right here in the backseat of my car.” You grin, grinding against his fingers in an attempt to urge Dean on. “I want it to be special, Y/N. I will not take your virginity in the backseat of a car.”

“I want you D’, please,” whining you tug at his hair, kissing him fiercely. “I need to feel your cock inside of me, Dean. Make me yours, please.”

“Oh-heaven help me with that girl…”

“Daddy is not around to stop me,” Dean growls, teasingly running the tip up and down your folds. “I bet he would kill me for touching his naughty princess.”

“Dean, please,” you grasp for his shoulders, nails biting into the muscles he grew. “I need you,” his lips press against yours the moment he carefully slips the first inches into you. There is a slight burn, the good kind of burn, when you feel your walls spread out for Dean.

“You’re so tight, sweetheart. God, I can’t believe I am your first,” you peck his lips, watching Dean pant on top of you, a smile on his face. “I love you.”

“I love you too, Dean.”

And all at once, you are the one I have been waiting for

King of my heart, body and soul, ooh whoa

And all at once, you are all I want, I'll never let you go

King of my heart, body and soul, ooh whoa

And all at once, I've been waiting, waiting

Ooh whoa, ooh whoa

And all at once, you are the one, I have been waiting, waiting

Body and soul, ooh whoa

And all at once

Dean slowly rolls his hips, afraid to hurt you he looks worriedly at you before he presses his knees into the mattress and his forearms into the pillow. For a moment he just watches your face, the way your lips part with every gentle thrust, and enjoys the little gasps escaping your throat.

“Love you so much, Y/N,” you cry out, grasping for his biceps when he speeds up. “Never wanted anyone else to be my first.”

“Same, my king,” Dean smiles, pressing his lips to your forehead. “I thought I am your prince.”

“No, you’re my king now…”

Age of 21

“I don’t care what you will do! Keep your money, your house, and expensive clothes,” you cry, holding the necklace Dean bought to your birthday close to your heart. “I love Dean Winchester and you can’t do anything against it! If you threaten his family or him, we are done!”

“Don’t be silly, princess. Dean Winchester is just another heartbreaker who wants to use you and your nativity to make fast money,” your father spats, looking at the, to him, worthless necklace. “Everything he ever said to is a lie, fake, just like the necklace.”

“You don’t know anything about Dean or me. I love him, he loves me and if you can’t accept we are a pair, I’ll move out,” you turn on your heels to storm toward your room, ready to pack your things.

“What about your dreams, your study? Will you give up everything to become the wife of a mechanic? A man who can barely pay his bills,” you nod, ignoring your father’s words. “I will not pay for anything if you leave my house.”

“I don’t care…” You run, not taking anything with you but your jacket and the necklace. “I love him…”

Heartbroken you sit at the bus station, still waiting for Dean to show to run away with you. Hours ago, he told you to not give up your dreams or education for him. While you were ready to give everything up, Dean refused to take away your future from you.

“Princess get into the car. John Winchester called me, told me about the break-up. I am sorry,” your father whispers, seeing the tears run down your face. “It’s better this way.”

“No, it’s not. I hope you and John are happy because you destroyed my love. I hate you, and this will never change. From this day on, you are not my father, just the man I must live with as the man I love gave up on us to not destroy my future…”

Late in the night, the city's asleep

Your love is a secret I'm hoping, dreaming, dying to keep

Change my priorities

The taste of your lips is my idea of luxury

On the way back to your father’s house you can’t stop crying. Dean, he said that you can never see each other again and it feels like your life is over. “Y/N, he’s not worth your tears. You will find a fine young man one day.”

“Shut up, just shut up and shove your words up to your stiff and rich ass. I hate you and I will do so for the rest of my life. You only see your money, nothing else. A man who got no clue about love wants to tell me how to feel after I lost the man I love due to your mistake,” you look out of the window, ignoring your father’s presence. “I hate you.”

“Not for the rest of your life,” your father mumbles but you are too stubborn to not do so. You swore to yourself, today is the day your father died.

“I will, promised…”

Age of 23

'Cause all the boys and their expensive cars

With their Range Rovers and their Jaguars

Never took me quite where you do

The date your father forced you to attend was a disaster. The guy, a spoiled brat, tried to get into your pants right after you entered his Jaguar.

Whilst you gave him a black eye, he called you a stupid bitch and kicked you out of his car. Stubbornly you refused to call your father only to walk along the street, hating your life once again.

There is a low roar followed by someone calling your name, but you decide to ignore his voice and the black muscle car. “Sweetheart, get inside. It’s cold, starts to rain any minute and it’s past midnight.”

“Why do you care? You wanted me to live my life, that is how it looks like. Fending off spoiled guys who believe they can touch me only as they are breathing,” you spat, walking faster to get away from Dean who parks his car to follow you.

“Y/N, I wanted you to have a chance, to have a better life. I never wanted to lose you, but this was the only way,” lost, Dean stands on the street, watching you run away.

“I love you, sweetheart…”

“How was the date?” Your father asks, watching you walk into the house, soaked from head to toe.

“Great. It started with your best friend's son trying to grope my breasts followed by his try to force himself on me. It was a great idea if you wanted me to get raped. But,” you grin now, dipping your head, “at least it would've been a rich guy doing so – right daddy?”

“Y/N, I never thought he would try something like that, I swear.”

“Sure. All you saw is that his father is rich, not a simple mechanic who tries to make enough money to feed his kids. You’re such an ignorant man. That guy didn't treat me with respect, he saw me as an object, a body he can use. When I refused, he called me a bitch and let me walk.” You huff when your father tries to soothe you. “Dean always treated me with respect. He knew how to…doesn’t matter anymore…”

Age of 26

“I don’t give a shit on your opinion, Sir. My father is gone, the garage is mine. I want my girl and I want her now,” Dean grits out, shoving your father aside to run upstairs. “Y/N? Sweetheart?”

“Dean what the…?” Gasping you watch Dean enter your room, slamming the door shut to pounce on you. “What are you doing here?”

“I got enough money, now. I…I can open a new garage and we can buy a house. I spared every buck I ever made for us, look,” he shows you his bank statement, proudly puffing his chest. “I…I never was with someone else. I only want you, Y/N.”

“What about my dad? What if he destroys your business or future,” you sniffle, gently touching Dean’s cheek. “I can’t let him destroy your life for me.”

“I don’t care, Y/N. I wanna be with you, please,” his arms wrap around you to bring you close to his chest. “I dreamed of having you in my arms again for 5 years. I worked day and night, took three jobs but we can be together now.”

“Together,” you choke out, wrapping your arms around his waist. “I never was with anyone else either. Only you, Dean…”

“Only you, sweetheart…”

And all at once, you are the one I have been waiting for

King of my heart, body and soul, ooh whoa

And all at once, you are all I want, I'll never let you go

King of my heart, body and soul, ooh whoa

And all at once, I've been waiting, waiting

Ooh whoa, ooh whoa

And all at once, you are the one, I have been waiting, waiting

Body and soul, ooh whoa

And all at once

Solangelo? For the ship ask game

Relationship Ask

Starting out strong I see. Well, most of my followers no that I don’t particularly like Solangelo, but I will break this down from the most neutral standpoint I can.

The main factors I look at when I judge relationships I like as a genuine “I ship this as a relationship” and not just “the drama/symbolism/etc. is so fun” are:

1. Physical age (least important)

2. Mental maturity (very important)

3. Emotional maturity (very important)

4. Power imbalance (moderately important)

In some cases Power Imbalances can be the most important factor, but those cases aren’t very common. By real life standards I can only really think of one that is considered a no: doctor/patient relationships.

Now then, to dive in (for this ask I will compare both the actual age of Nico, and the one where Rick changed the age mid series).

Physical Age

Actual Age (13)

Nico is 13 and Will is 15. At a young age physical age is more important. At 13 you have just become a teenager, physically you’re changing a lot, your hormones are all over the place, you’re gonna have some growth spurts. 15 most of that has begun to calm down, you’ve learned how to deal with these changes.

Here there is an imbalance favoring Will.

Changed age (14)

Nico is 14 and Will is 15. Obviously at just 1 year of an age gap it isn’t that bad at all. At 14 you’ve started to figure out this teenager thing, you’re understanding the changes physically more, you’re not great yet but you’ve got things down.

Here there is only a small imbalance favoring Will.

Mental Maturity

Physical age no longer matters.

Nico has been forced to grow mentally an immense amount at this point. He knows how to lead armies, is able to handle big problems, is fiercely independent, and knows how to make tough decisions. He is smart, cunning, and knows how to do whatever it takes to get things done. On the other hand, he is also uninformed on the modern day and in that nature is behind on things.

Will is effectively the head doctor of the camp. He’s helped give birth to a baby. He’s walked into war zones. He’s been the emergency doctor that saved even Annabeth. He fought against the Titan’s.

It’s only slightly in Will’s favor as Nico’s other factors mostly make up for the imbalance in modern knowledge.

They are basically equal in mental maturity.

Emotional Maturity

Nico... oh boy is there a lot to unpack there. This boy has been through trauma. This kid has not been able to process his trauma and emotions for at least 3 years. He is still traumatized from shit that happened a few years ago. He’s barely recovered from Bianca’s death and even that is debatable seeing how he tried to bring her back to life again the moment there was the slightest opening. He’s also been ostracized for being a child of Hades and that’s not easy to deal with either. He is child emotionally and needs serious therapy to process everything that has happened.

Will has some trauma, as anyone that went through the Titan War does, but overall he’s pretty healthy emotionally. Keep in mind I’m judging from what we’ve seen canonically and headcanons on how he may be hurt aren’t being considered here. Others may wish to add them to the equation. He has no mentioned mom info, but seems to have grown up pretty healthily. He’s able to handle stress well and is clearly in a loving family with his siblings. He’s not been ostracized and clearly can’t imagine others feeling that way (points to how he talked to Nico in Book 10).

This heavily leans in Will’s favor.

Power Balance

Whether people acknowledge it or not Will is referenced as Nico’s doctor many times. Doctor’s orders is a common statement Will makes, and it’s used to get Nico out of things and get Nico privileges others do not get. It could likewise be used to take away privileges even if that hasn’t been done.

There is a clear doctor/patient relationship here.

From the AMA (American Medical Association)

A physician must terminate the patient-physician relationship before initiating a dating, romantic, or sexual relationship with a patient. Likewise, sexual or romantic relationships between a physician and a former patient may be unduly influenced by the previous physician-patient relationship.

Doctor/Patient relationships aren’t really acceptable, and are not allowed by the AMA. There is an inherent imbalance, both in having power over the patient, and in judgement being impaired for the patient. So in the case of the power imbalance here...

This leans overwhelming in Will’s favor.

And so now we put it all together!

Actual Age (Nico 13, Will 15)

Physical, Emotional, and Power wise Will holds the power. Mental maturity wise they are equal.

Changed age (Nico 14, Will 15)

Emotional and Power wise Will holds the power. Physical and Mentally they are equal.

So my breakdown concludes with: this relationship holds inherent imbalances that lean heavily in Will’s favor. Other’s may add in headcanons that change the Emotional imbalance, but the power imbalance can only be fixed by making Will stop being Nico’s doctor.

Thanks for the ask anon <3

Send me an ask about a relationship.

[hello-nichya-here]

Trigger warning: I know you talk a lot about how Ozai emotionally abused Azula but do you think she was sexually abused as well considering some of her more questionable behavior towards Zuko (ex. the infamous bedroom scene) and Sokka (ex. DoBS interaction) could be interpreted as her passing on her abuse and/or Ozai teaching her to weaponize her sexuality? Especially since The Beach shows she has no social, dating, or flirting skills or history as far as we know?

Short answer: I don’t personally believe she was sexually abused, but I can see why some people think that, considering her father is quite literally an abusive piece of shit. That being said, I could be blind and deaf, yet that still wouldn’t be enough to make me miss the fact that Azula’s character was sexualized many times in the show - but there are many mundane explanations for her suspicious behavior (both in the story and out of it).

Now for the long answer: Before we even get into the in-universe talk, we need to remember that Avatar is a show in which the writers, animators, directors and actors don’t shy away from fan service, and that Grey Delisle, Azula’s voice actress AND inspiration for her design, is an adult woman - one who had been married more than once by that time, ships her character with both Ty Lee and Zuko, and had previously worked as a stripper and as a narrator in promos for actual porn. She full on said that she voiced the bedroom scene seductively. To me, that shows that Azula’s more flirty, and sometimes full on seductive, nature is not something that exists to show that the character is sexually active, interested in sex, or being abused, but simply something that is there because the people making the show are well aware of the fact that some fans are attracted to her and want to see acting that way.

(We can also not forget that purity culture is so strong that, to this very day, many people still buy into the “Sex is evil” mentality, which demonizes human sexuality in general, and female sexuality in particular, which leads to the assumption that Evil Woman = Slut, and that is something that is not uncommon to see in fictional stories, when the female lead is a pure, innocent girl, while the villain ladies are heavily sexualized)

And what about the in-universe explanations for Azula’s behavior? Well, there are many, and it’s very likely that it’s a combination of several, or even all, of them. 

Azula is very young, but adolescense is that awkward phase when you’re full of hormones and constantly trying to prove that you know what you’re doing because “I’m not a fucking kid anymore, dammit!” Teenagers, especially teenage girls, tend to deal with descovering their sexuality in two ways: treating it like it’s a secret no one can ever know about, or by immitating adults. Azula probably saw lots of adult women, being more sensual around men, both out of genuine interest and to try to gain power, so it’s not at all unlikely that she could have started to mimic that behavior, especially if being desirable was something that was expect expected of the noble - and even royal - women.

Also, some of the things people use as “evidence” that Ozai must have been sexually abusing Azula are far too mundane to be considerate as such, like the fact that Azula wears make up. Guys, I wore make up at 14. I wore make up when I was 10. So did the vast majority of literally every girl I’ve ever met. She could have been trying to look good for the boys her age, she could have been trying to look more adult to be taken seriously, she could have been immitating other girls her age, she could have been wearing make up for no reason other than she fucking liked wearing make up. Wanting to look attractive or more adult doesn’t mean she was being sexually abused or even thinking about sex at all.

And now we get to the main reasons why I don’t personally believe Ozai ever sexually abuse Azula: his main form of abuse is psychological, not physical, and he doesn’t seem to pay any attention to her when he didn’t need her to act as his weapon.

Ozai didn’t seem to have ever physically hurt Ursa in any way, had not been violent towards Zuko before their Agni Kai and didn’t do anything simmilar until Zuko full on said he was changing sides, and completely ignored Iroh instead of torturing him in any way while he was being held prisoner. Ozai uses violence against his family as a last resort when his manipulation didn’t get him what he wanted (like the murder of his father after he refused to revoke Iroh’s right to the throne). Azula had never displeased or gone against him in any way, so he had no reason to punish her with violence, so that rules out one reason why he could sexually abuse her.

That leaves us with the other one: could he have done it because he was obsessed with her/believed she was his property? While I don’t put it past him to do something like that to someone he was sexually attracted to, I don’t believe Ozai was attracted to her - I don’t believe he thought about her at all. She wasn’t his daughter, and she wasn’t someone he desired either. She was a soldier - the most useful one, but still beneath him. She would scheme and fight when he couldn’t/didn’t want to do it. That was all she was useful for in his eyes.

Was their relationship abusive? Yes. Did Ozai groom her? Yes, but not for sex. Would Ozai give a shit if his 14 year old daughter was sexually abused? Only because it’d mean she was “weak”. Would Ozai give a shit if his 14 year old daughter started using her sexuality as a weapon? If it worked, he would praise her for it. Would he ever have sex with his own daughter? No, but only because he was not attracted to her.

Riley Ramírez (He/him) Age: 27 years old (April 10, 1990*) Height: 1.85 m Occupation: Mechanic

15 things about Riley:

1. His parents divorced when he was around 5 or 6 years old. His father became an absent figure through his whole life after that. It was always him, his mother, and his older sister (Laura, who is 32 years old in present day).

2. He was always the “big” kid of his class. Always kinda chubby, burly, and tall, but all of this became more noticeable when he was in middle school and high school. This all contributed to give him a bit of an “intimidating” image during his teenage years… but he was always a softie.

3. Around the time he was 10-14, he took Taekwondo classes.

4. Story about why and how he got his ears pierced: This happened in high school, and he always thought that Santiago’s (his best friend) piercings looked “quite cool” and wanted to do the same. They go to the parlor… aaaand Riley got out with not just his ears pierced but traumatized as well. Since then, he doesn’t like needles that much, lol.

5. He got an interest in motorcycles and wrestling since young, thanks to his relatives. Also, his interest in wrestling might have been the reason why his mom put him in Taekwondo classes at the time.

6. He always has this kind of scary and unfriendly/intimidating face if he is serious or if he is not in the mood. He is often dragged to situations that he could simply resolve by showing his face off because people would get scared at it. Simple to say: he is not a fan of it.

7. He is kind of a workaholic. Part of the reason is because he is engaged to his job… although, it became some way to cope with some… stuff.

8. Past jobs: worked a little as a delivery guy by the time he went to college (he had the motorcycle to do this) and landed a desk job at the time he finished (7/10, he didn’t like it that much, but, hey…) but before he moved fully as a mechanic.

9. He currently serves as supervisor in the motorcycle workshop he works in.

10. Riley is very protective of his friends and crew.

11. Ellie is not his first girlfriend (and she isn’t even the first “long-term” one he ever had). He had numerous relationships during his teen years, because 1) he was your typical teenage dominated by his hormones and 2) he was also quite popular with the girls in high school (“nice face, easy to approach… and he is kind of a bad boy?!”). Oh, he is somewhat popular as he was back then, but it’s mostly because of his nice face and friendly approach.

12. Not a fan of the horror fictional genre (which makes the whole werewolf thing in the WAU even more… harsh, I guess, lol).

13. He is a glutton, lol. He remains kinda “thick” because of that, even though he still exercises from time to time.

14. He might look like very friendly and open, but he can be quite shy and doubtful of his actions.

15. Did I mention already he is the leader of a motorcycle gang that is kinda infamous? No? Okay. (Am I going to elaborate further than that here? Also, that’s a no, :) )

(*AU takes place in 2017, btw. I am currently indecisive if applying it more to “nebulous late 2010s”, or simply leaving it as such. No special reason more than this is the year I started writing it.)
