Domestic Arkos Role Reversal

Pyrrha: *distressed, reading the mail* Oh, no! I lost another sponsorship! And just when huntress jobs are running short, too!

Jaune: *wraps Pyrrha in a hug* Darn, that’s too bad. I guess I can go back to my old job being a crossing guard to make ends meet and you can stay home with Jamie for now?

Pyrrha: I suppose it would be nice to spend time at home with our son…

Pyrrha: Okay, let’s do it!

———————————————————————

Jaune: *heading out the door* Love you both! Be good for your mom, Jamie! Remember to call me if you need help, okay?

Pyrrha: Don’t worry so much! Hurry up or you’ll be late!

Pyrrha: Well, it looks like it’s just you and your mother today, right sweetheart? *looks down at Arkos son*

Jamie: *already has gum in his hair* 😀

Pyrrha: 🤦‍♀️…this day is not off to a good start…

———————————————————————

Pyrrha: *struggling with pot roast recipe and slow cooker instructions* Wait, is “warm” a higher or lower heat than “low?”

*Smoke alarm goes off*

———————————————————————

Pyrrha: *steps on lego while playing with Jamie*

Pyrrha: 😫 FU-

Jamie: 🙂 ?

Pyrrha: *clamps a hand over her mouth and muffles her agonized scream*

———————————————————————

Pyrrha: *pushing grocery cart and reading shopping list*

Pyrrha: How can two adults and a five-year-old need seven pages of groceries?

Pyrrha: And what on Remnant is tarragon?!

———————————————————————

Pyrrha: *removes laundry from dryer*

Pyrrha: *holds up shrunken shirt* 😟

Pyrrha: …Jamie, sweetie, how would you like one of your father’s old shirts?

Jamie: 🙃

———————————————————————

Jamie: *running around happily with the other children at the park*

Pyrrha: *slumps on a bench* Ugh…how can one little boy have so much energy…? 😮‍💨

Pyrrha: Maybe I can just rest here for a minute…

Pyrrha: 😴

Random Mother: …excuse me? Miss? Isn’t that your son?

Pyrrha: *cracks open one eye* …bwuh…?

Jamie: *on top of jungle gym, losing his balance*

Jamie: 🫨

Pyrrha: 😱

Pyrrha: *launches herself off the bench into a diving catch*

Pyrrha: *heart hammering* Are you okay?!

Jamie: 🥺 *small nod*

Pyrrha: *flops on the ground clutching her son*

———————————————————————

Pyrrha: *holding napping Jamie on her shoulder during PTA meeting*

Jamie: 😪 *drools a bit on Pyrrha’s shirt*

Pyrrha: I’ve never been so bored in my life…🥱

———————————————————————

Jaune: *opens door to Arkos house* Hello! I’m home!

Jamie: Daddy! *runs to the door*

Jaune: Hey, there’s my little guy! *scoops up his son as he walks inside* How was your day with mommy?

Jamie: We went to the park! Mommy’s sleepy though!

Pyrrha: *passed out on the couch with disheveled hair, stains on her shirt, and a pile of half-opened bills on her lap as her son’s favorite cartoon plays on the tv* 😴

Jaune: *bends down and gently shakes Pyrrha’s shoulder* Pyr? How are you doing?

Pyrrha: *snorts and jerks awake* What? Huh? Jamie, be careful with that-!

Pyrrha: Oh, Jaune…! Welcome home! How was work? 🥱

Jaune: *adjusts Jamie in his arms* Just like I remembered! Helping kids cross the street, politely telling some of the moms that I’m very taken! 😁

Pyrrha: *exhausted pout* I’m much too tired for jokes, Jaune…😣

Jaune: Okay, okay! Let me put my stuff away and we’ll see about dinner!

Jamie: Pizza? 😃

Jaune: *looks at the stack of dishes in the kitchen with burnt-on food* …yeah, sure little guy! Go wash your hands and daddy will order pizza.

Jamie: 😄 *happily runs to the bathroom*

Pyrrha: *slowly gets up and walks face-first into Jaune’s shoulder* …how do you do it…? I’ve trained for the arena for years and fought Grimm bigger than our house, but I’m so tired after one day at home with my own son…! 😭

Jaune: *wraps Pyrrha in a hug* Don’t worry, Pyr! It just takes some practice! Besides, it’s only until you get another huntress job and get back to being a hero!

Pyrrha: *mumbles into Jaune’s chest* …If you can do this every day while I’m at work, you’re the REAL hero…!

Jaune: Hey, I’m just the loving house husband of Pyrrha Freaking Nikos! I’m sure everyone will be calling you “The Invincible Mom” within the week!

Pyrrha: …

Jaune: …Pyr…?

Pyrrha: *asleep against Jaune* 😴

Jaune: *scoops up exhausted Pyrrha*

Jaune: …she has gum in her hair…

DAVEY

Look y’all gotta start telling me if y’all want canon or modern 💀

Okay so idk if Davey was based of Dave Simmons but let me tell you about him anyway 🥰��

I think Jack’s characterization is far closer to Dave Simmons than Davey’s. The only thing they share is a name.

But I digress

So! This is Dave Simmons!

President of the Union in the first half of the strike

Accused of betraying the strike, though I personally think he may have been a victim of a whisper campaign out out by the papers

The rumor was that he and Kid Blink took a bribe to sell papes before the end of the strike.

Though they both denied the accusation, they both stepped down from their position. Dave (I believe) became treasurer instead.

There’s no actual evidence that he actually scabbed. But they decided to step down rather than hinder the strike with disloyalty.

Newsies Davey

Mom friend. This isn’t even a hc it’s just canon at this point.

This boy is burnt out before he’s even an adult 💀My poor boy is so tired all the time please give him iced coffee and therapy

Book smart. Common sense dumb. Uses big words like auspicious but knows nothing of selling or anything about Snyder (despite living in NYC and being poor enough to need to join the newsies)

Here comes my rant about autistic Davey Jacobs:

Has no filter and even less chill. Davey is very all or nothing and I love him for that.

Doesn’t get social cues. See: Jack v upset about Crutchie being arrested. Davey: “abOvE thE fOld”

Special interest: learning. Especially about art. And hawking. And pretty strike leaders

He and Les have gotten stuck in echolalia circles. They’ll echo each other for hours on end.

Has trouble lying, and approaching people in general.

End of this autistic Davey Jacobs rant bc I could literally talk forever

He values honesty so much it hurts. When Jack scabs in 92sies. One of first things David says is “You’re a liar! You lied about everything!” And the devastation on his face in Livesies. Literal chills 😭😭

Where Jack ignores orders just to prove a point, Davey doesn’t mind following orders as long as they’re reasonable. As long as they make sense. When the strike starts, Davey doesn’t quite understand. He doesn’t get the difference in ten cents for a hundred papes. It doesn’t make any difference to him. When it’s explained to him, he’s wholeheartedly for the strike. When Jack scabs, Davey once again doesn’t understand because they’ve worked so hard. And this is the one thing Jack listens to?

Anti-violence. Even in the face of starvation and freezing in the coming winter (they don’t know how long this strike will last. He has to be prepared) Davey is adamant. Do not soak the scabs.

Is always 100% done with Jack’s shit.

Is Jewish!! I’m like 98% sure this is canon, but I am certain it’s at least fanon the Jacobs are Jewish

Say something about his baby brother and he. Will. End. You.

RYAN KOPEL IS SO RIGHT THAT DAVEY GETS A LITTLE MORE FERAL EVERY DAY.

Modern:

Davey✔️

He and Jack have been friends for as long as he could remember. His family always went around to the orphanages in New York, bringing old clothes that had been collected by the people of their Synagogue.

David and Sarah had always sought out Jack when they’d get to the Refuge. Snyder always put on a front of being a kind, caring guardian when there were visitors, but Jack told Davey and Sarah about some of the horrors that they were put through.

Their parents never believed them, because Jack (having a distrust of adults for some odd reason) always told them that he was fine and he wasn’t in any danger, and so they thought their children were making it up to try and bring their friend home. When Les was born, the Jacobs took time off to get adjusted to having a new child in the house.

In college for business or marketing to make sure he knows how to do what’s best to keep them successful.

Dave in the Life: Multiple videos a week just vlogging the domestic side of his and Jack’s relationship

Been There Done That: Joint channel with Jack. Traveling, doing wild shit, usually featuring many of their friends

This concludes everything coming out of my brain about Davey Jacobs right now

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

[aajjks]

i thought he was going to ruin their date? 😭 i can do a time skip ⏭️

BC!JK

after the text you sent to jungkook, you never heard back from him and even at school, you didn’t see him. some say he dropped out, some day he transferred, but you wished him well with his endeavors because your main focus is graduating.

the last few years were a little rough since the bully club still felt as though they ruled the school but it all changed when the school received a new dean and the moment the club’s bullying scandals reached their ears, the boys were immediately expelled.

letting people in was a little hard now. you’ve trust issues but eunwoo reassured you that he is trustworthy and kept his word via actions. by the time his graduation came around, eunwoo officially asked you to be his and sealed his promise to love you with a kiss.

yes, your first official kiss was with your crush, now boyfriend, cha eunwoo who took his well-earned soccer scholarship and was drafted to EA’s FC Seoul soccer team where he’d compete on national levels. his name was known and loved by those who loved soccer and tuned in to watch him play and like the supportive girlfriend you were, you were there through it all.

two years later, you finally graduated with your degree in studio arts and was hired by an art studio in seoul to teach children and young adults, well, art. on the side, however, you took an interest in ceramics and began selling your pots, plates, and all kinds of creative ceramic items online which helped put lots of money in your pocket.

once you were financially stable, you and eunwoo moved in together, bought a grey pet cat by the name of milo, and seemed to have everything together on the outside but on the inside, eunwoo was and is busy. he’s always busy. you know the FIFA world cup is the ultimate goal and eunwoo has been working hard everyday to achieve that goal at the cost of lessening his attention on you.

you understand though because you’re supportive like that. you’re a very patient partner, almost too patient because despite your attempts at sexual intimacy, eunwoo always turns you down and you understand why. he’s tired, he’s working really hard, and you’re just being a distraction.

YOU. GET. IT.

you still have a lot of love for eunwoo, you ARE in love with him but you’re getting the feeling that he isn’t in love with you anymore. this has been going on for 4 months after all, so maybe he doesn’t love you and now all you do is wait for him to break things off because you don’t want to.

you don’t mind talking to the wall as long as it doesn’t move and maybe it’ll talk back and reciprocate one day. until then, all you do is wait.

He hasn’t been paying a lot of attention to you, and he knows that- and trust him. He feels so bad about this because he’s been neglecting you for the longest time…

Eunwoo doesn’t really know how to jiggle his professional life and his personal life together- it’s almost been hard for him and how is he supposed to tell you that without breaking your heart? You’ve been together for a long time and he doesn’t really want to lose you….

But what if you’re tired of him? He barely has sex with you anymore- he barely goes out with you, and you barely have dinner together these days- and you never see him leave.

It’s like you two roommates at this point we are living a different separate life. So, he’s going to talk to you tonight. You deserve better.

These last few years have been wonderful with you, but he hasn’t been the best boyfriend to you- you are wonderful. Anyone Would be lucky to have you, and you don’t deserve to rot here while he’s out practicing for his dreams..

“Yn?! Sweetheart?” Is going to talk to you after the school reunion party that you are both going to attend tonight… “I’m home… oh, you’re already ready, huh?” He says, taking off his coat.

You look really pretty- you’ve always been really pretty, but it was really something to see you come out of your shell- especially after you graduated..

You’re gorgeous in every single way.

Eunwoo doesn’t really wait to kiss you because he just goes into the shower and he’s busy showering while you put on your coat.

Everything is so different now…. It’s very different.

While he is showering you ask him if he’s going to be out soon so you could get to the venue in time. And he assured you he’s coming.

He hurriedly cleans up himself, and now he’s out in the bedroom, putting on his clothes, you’re busy feeding the cat, watching it really hurts his heart because… he doesn’t wanna lose you, but he has just set you free.

“Come on yn let’s go… we’ll get to see our friends after a long long time… the good thing is that the seniors and juniors will be together… It is so weird because I was two years ahead of you, but.. it’s more of a get together Don’t you agree?”

Finished the rest of it today and I have had many thoughts as I’ve gone along

- Genuinely freaked by the idea of Jadis being in this world, ngl. It’s not often that a villain you grew up with can still give you new chills as an adult.

- Still loving the narration style very much. “He wondered about this a good deal as the first slow half-hour ticked on. But you need not wonder, for I am going to tell you.” Thank you Clive.

- Lamp post 🥺

- The creation of Narnia!!!! It’s beautiful!!!!

- WHEN IT FIRST SAYS THAT THE SOURCE OF THE CREATION IS A LION!!! 😭

- EVERYTHING IS JUST!!!!!!! AHAJDGJS!!!!!!

- “‘No, little friend,’ said the Lion. ‘You have not made the first joke; you have only been the first joke.’” Lmbo I love Aslan

- I was already thinking about the difference in reactions to the creation around them being symbolic for individuals’ varying mental attitudes and faithfulness but then they dedicate entire paragraphs to proving this thought correct by detailing the stark contrast of what had been going on inside Uncle Andrew the whole time, how he actively chose to reject the spiritual feelings that he didn’t want and ended up making himself unable entirely to see things as they really were because he purposely dulled his senses to the truth of what was in front of him. That’s deep, Clive.

- Oh my gosh the symbolism of Digory giving in to a temptation that ended up bringing evil into the new world. Aslan promising to take the worst of the fallout on himself. The cabby and his wife being the first people of this world who will name all of the creatures and raise their children in righteousness and reign over the land. I knew this series wasn’t exactly shy about its Christianity (I mean, we literally just did the Creation, and also it doesn’t get much more overt than the literal crucifixion, atonement, and resurrection going on in LWW) but this is straight up directly Genesis up in here and I’m delighted.

- “Wouldn’t he know without being asked?” “I’ve no doubt he would. [...] But I’ve a sort of idea he likes to be asked.” C.S. Lewis wonderfully summing up prayer in one short exchange of dialogue 👏

- So many more thoughts on the religious tones that I’m too tired to get into but boy are there thoughts

- The tree! The country home! The wardrobe! The references to Lucy in the future! I am crying!!!

I’m reading The Magician’s Nephew for the first time (excluding that time many years ago where I started it and only read several pages lol), I’m about halfway through and my thoughts so far are

- First and foremost oh my goodness I miss Narnia so much, how did I wait this long to read this

- I love Digory and Polly as individuals and as cute bickering friends. Their personalities are great, I love when it’s written what they’re thinking during whatever’s going on, I love the silly back and forth of kids who both don’t know what’s going on but are both determined to be more right than the other.

- The way Lewis narrates is the best, I’d forgotten what it was like since I read LWW so darn long ago. I love how he’ll describe things or people’s thoughts or casually mention what they’ll think years later or just amusingly skip over something. My favorite thing: “And Polly gave him a pretty sharp answer and he said something even nastier in reply. The quarrel lasted for several minutes but it would be dull to write it all down.”

- Atlantis is real apparently. Cool.

- Spent the whole time they were setting up the Queen waiting for the name so I could know I was right about what I was picturing lol. And goodness gracious, she’s cold! She’s like, ‘yeah I killed literally everyone, why are you acting like it matters?’ Like okay lady you can apparently still shock me. All these years watching the movie and this was your backstory the whole time and I never knew it. Yikes.

- Somehow even though I knew Digory was the magician’s nephew I never really thought about the fact that there must be a magician uncle playing some kind of role lol. Uncle Andrew is honestly a bit terrifying. His indignant disinterest in any ethical arguments against any decision he wants to make doesn’t feel very dissimilar to Jadis.

- I’m not even at the technical creation of Narnia itself yet but even just thinking about Digory one day getting to talk to the Pevensies about this magical land he’s had to keep secret from everyone but Polly and learning that Jadis is gone and hearing their many tales from their time as kings and queens is making me very emotional.
