TW: mentions of death(we all know who), analysis and acknowledgement of familial dysfunction in the TMNT 2012 narrative

-

TL;DR immediately under cut

TL;DR: The 2012 turtles grew up in a dysfunctional family system created by Splinter and the poor writing accidentally gave a really good inside look to what real dysfunctional families are like. Also I still like this version, so I analysed it.

-

-

Thought I'd share a thought I've had about the 2012 TMNT series for a WHILE. This is based on a mix of my own, admittedly somewhat limited, engagement with the series as well as what I've heard others say about it's writing quality and the particular issues it creates in the series.

TMNT 2012 unintentionally became a REALLY good look at what a dysfunctional family is like from the INSIDE. I say this as someone who grew up in a dysfunctional family system, though my parents were not physically abusive like Splinter was shown to occasionally be mostly to Leo but sometimes he dragged the whole family along for the ride. Regardless, let me give a couple examples.

People often complain how Mikey's character growth is just plain ignored by the writers repeatedly throughout the series(really anyone who isn't Leo or Raph, but Mikey's the focus for now). While this IS bad writing on their part, it's also something that ACTUALLY HAPPENS in dysfunctional systems like this. Mikey's role in the family is clearly the jokey, happy little brother. In families like this, you are not allowed to grow outside your role. No one will outright SAY it, but the family's reactions to such things will usually be enough for most people to shove themselves right back in their box. That said, some find spaces and people outside the family to explore these parts of themselves, and from what little I've seen Mikey seems to have done this with the likes of the Mutanimals, then, once he's back with family, everything deemed outside his role gets neatly tucked away until next time.

There's also their friends who, even those who've been accepted as family, don't get to see the full extent of the dysfunction. Everyone knows Raph and Leo fight, they'll yell at each other in the main room after all, but no one gets to see things like what I've watched of Splinter's and Leo's talks in the dojo, and most of Splinter's talks with Raph about his anger. Actually, a lot of Splinter's not-so-great actions are hidden, not just from their friends, but from a good chunk of his sons too. Then, once someone like April shows up, he's the loving, if some what strict, father that pretty much everyone in this community the turtles have built respects greatly. This respect isn't entirely without merit, I'll admit, but the point still stands that he acts better when people from outside their immediate family are around then he does when their not. I also wouldn't say he's the greatest towards any of his kids, but he's better to some then others with Raph and Leo getting the brunt of it, though even Raph seems to experience more warmth from him in the show then Leo does. He also seems to treat Raph and Leo better if Donnie and/or Mikey are around, though not as much as when friends stop by.

I know I've just spent an entire paragraph essentially sh*tting on Splinter, but I would like to point out that IS clear he loves his sons dearly. It's also clear he's a deeply flawed and traumatized character who I plan on exploring more. Regardless, it doesn't excuse his behavior and the toxic system he's created as a result of it. I think even more of an explanation could have been found if we knew more about his upbringing and the Hamato Clan outside of Tang Shen and Oroku Saki, but he actually doesn't seem to talk much about them which is FASCINATING to me considering how much pride he holds in his culture and in BEING Hamato. Quite frankly, I'd bet money he's recreated something very similar to what he grew up in, hence why he sees no problem raising the turtles the same but now I'm just speculating and making head cannons 😅. Either way, as much as he loves them, he was NOT the best dad.

Back to the main point, while the writing, again CLEARLY unintentionally, creates a really good narrative look at the inner workings of a dysfunctional family, there IS hope for them at the end from what I've seen. An interesting detail I've noticed is that the boys all seem to start getting along better and finding better ways to cope and work together whenever Splinter is out of the immediate picture for a significant chunk of time, like when their in space or at the farmhouse. It takes time, sure, but it's there. They also seem to do better and get closer as they get older, which is something my sister and I found in our own relationship. While Splinter's death is certainly hard on them, I imagine they'll stay close and things will only get better between them as time goes on. Maybe they'll realize how Splinter handled certain things wasn't great or maybe they won't, but either way I see room for them to be happier and more real, present, and honest with each other post series. Please feel free to respectfully give your opinion and your own observations, I'd love to see some other takes if possible! Also please keep in mind that I haven't watched the full series, mostly just clips with some episodes sprinkled in through the years so please feel free to tell and send me stuff so I can watch and learn more about these guys because I love them even if they're not my favorite iteration!

OZZ OMG OMG OMG THAT YANDERE PRISON THING OMG OMG OMG

*jitters with excitement*

I NEED MORE AHHHHH IT TICKLED MY BRAIN THE RIGHT AND WRONG WAY AT THE SAME TIME

Like if you're nice they'll just become your dogs and if you're not nice they'll give you a very rough foursome I'm down for either OMG OMG OMG help I have problems

To quote Markiplier: "I'm not a masochist, this is about power"

*drops dead*

*instantly revives*

Ahem, I saw you mention you might come up with small plots, so I'll do the logical thing to try to inspire you:

- clueless darling ask the leaders about their gangs and whatnot. Like nonchalantly. Because they're too nice darling thought it's no big deal lol

- darling subconsciously avoid blonde man (even tho he is my favourite hahah) after seeing him beat up the guy

- darling got drunk (somehow in a prison) and either gets horny (and try to let it out under the blankets forgetting they got roommates)or innocently touchy hugging all three of them and poking their unique features, sitting in their laps and so on. Or better yet, touches/approaches other inmates in front of the roommates...

content: gender neutral reader, alcohol consumption, NSFW below the cut!

Inmates are creative. They will always find a way around the rules, and this time it happened to be a rather clumsy attempt at brewing alcohol. Had this been discovered by a guard, whoever concocted the beverage would've landed in detention.

Instead, it was you who found it, innocently assuming someone must've forgotten their water behind. You gulped down the clear liquid, thirsty after you walk, then promptly grimaced at its unexpected bitterness.

Safe to say you're now quite drunk.

That in itself would already be troublesome enough, but another thing is endangering yours and everyone else's peace: you're in a particularly flirty mood.

"What the hell are you doing?"

The officer's smile drops instantly, and he turns towards the deep voice. One of your criminal roommates glares at the sight with hollow eyes. You were clinging to the officer's arm, a dumb grin plastered on your face. The man in uniform quickly shoves you aside, his features pale and drained.

"It wasn't me who started it," he pleads.

You're quickly picked up by your bunkie, who is still staring at the guard. He won't be leaving this prison alive, that's for sure. Now, however, his priorities lie somewhere else.

The hallway spins as you're being carried away, and you shamelessly cling to your ride, feeling and groping the muscles and tracing along his tattooed skin.

"My God, at least wait until we're back to our cell," he groans with flushed cheeks.

The blonde one is trying to play it cool. Come, now, you're obviously out of it. He needs to be mature and tuck you in, or something along the line.

Easier said than done, especially with a raging boner. You're quick to notice it, and you certainly don't hesitate to point it out, making lewd gestures with your hands as some sort of offer.

"Are you sure you won't regret it tomorrow?"

"Hey now, I'm drunk, not unconscious," you bark between hiccups.

He may have interrogated you further, but the thought of your pretty little mouth struggling to take him in is too much to bear. He's essentially drooling by the time he pats his knee for you to come over.

The pierced one drops you on your bed with a flat expression. Annoyance? A closer look at his pursed lips, and one can tell he's really just struggling to maintain his composure.

"Please, I really need to-"

You hold him back by the arm and bat your eyelashes. In return, he clicks his tongue. Is this some sort of test from above? His beloved Darling is essentially begging to be fingered. Yet, he shouldn't be taking advantage of your state. He shouldn't...

Too late. You gasp at his rough fingers making their way in.

"Alright, don't be too loud," he concludes with a faint smirk.

The masked one gently places you on your bed, then plants himself before you with crossed arms.

"Nonsense. You're drunk."

"I mean it", you repeat yourself.

He does his best to look imposing. Truth be told, his knees weakened from the moment "fuck me" slipped out of your mouth. He gladly would, but he has morals. Well, when it comes to you, anyways.

Your pout seems to suggest this would be a long standoff. He sighs, then pushes you back onto the mattress.

"How about this? I'll take care of it," he explains quietly, his cloth hovering above your groin. "I'll be awaiting your offer again once you're sober."

For now, his tongue will have to do.

I feel so resolved right now bc I've been getting a little frustrated with the Instagram reels I've been seeing that's mostly het women complaining about how their husbands don't share the mental load of housework - which is absolutely justified, ofc. everyone needs to partake in taking care of the home as close to equally as is reasonable.

the thing is this mostly takes the form of people making fun of how their husbands say things like "Yeah sure I'll share the load :) Just make me a list!:) just tell me what to do! :)" when that's kind of defeating the purpose -- if your partner's making lists of chores for you, you're still basically offloading a ton of mental effort onto them, which doesn't actually help the problem.

however I know from experience that I am that husband lol. and I'm sure a lot of these men are just kind of inconsiderate, but from my perspective as a disabled neurodivergent person, I reflexively try to offload things like Making Lists or Asking To Be Told What To Do onto my (overstressed, often panicking) partner because I'm scared that if I make decisions about what I need to do, I'll focus on something my partner didn't even have on their radar and waste all my energy "fixing" something which they didn't consider broken, leaving me with nothing to help solve the problems they actually care about.

I'm not trying to be a dick or deliberately being lazy, I just need to know what's bothering them the most so I can start there instead of starting on a random side quest that doesn't matter to either of us. considering how many of these people I've run into are in nd4nd relationships, I'm pretty sure I can't be the only "inconsiderate husband" out there who's having this feeling, and it's a little frustrating to see it being completely attributed to a moral failing and not, like, a possible symptom of their partner's own mental health issues. (like we definitely can't pretend like misogyny never plays a part in the Just Make Me A List type of behavior, but I know relatively certainly that is not where it's originating from in my own personal relationship, and I'm not that unique)

just when I was about to just make a kind of grumpy post about this problem and offer absolutely no solutions, I fuckin run into a reel where someone actually tells people how to bridge the gap between offloading mental effort and actually knowing what your partner wants you to do- literally just. offer a couple of observations to them instead of hoping they'll do everything for you. ie - instead of "just tell me what to do!!", say "I see the dishes have to be done and the trash has to be taken out, so I was gonna do the dishes then take out the trash, unless there was something else that needs my focus first". this tells your partner that you are taking on some of the mental burden, but still offers them the opportunity to point you in the right direction if you're WAY off.

it just makes so much fucking sense and I never would've thought of doing that on my own. genuinely an extremely useful video to just algorithmically be provided to me. it's actionable advice instead of just telling people "share the loaaaddd" without providing the scaffolding someone needs to do that when theyre unused to it (whether that be due to neurodivergency or growing up as a guy in a misogynistic society).

and its just like. God damn it. this is bullshit. I can't believe the stupid camera app is helping me in real ways. maybe the mental health gurus and internet therapists have a goddamn point sometimes. fucking hell

[verysadlesbian]

Now that I have sat with my thoughts for a couple of days, I want to talk about some things:

There are too many people trying to defend Caitlyn's actions, so I have to say: NOTHING, and I mean absolutely nothing, justifies fascism. "Oh but she's grieving and blahblahblah" you know who else was grieving?! The mother of the kid Jayce killed in season 1. You know who else?! Vi and Powder that saw enforcers murder their parents, just like many other children from Zaun. Caitlyn destroyed her mother's legacy in the police brutality™️ operation, you understand how fucked up this is? Her mother's recording is saying "the people from Zaun deserve to breathe," and she did it anyways. If you sympathise with Piltover, you're either part of the problem or naïve enough to fall for fascist propaganda.

Ekko is the only real one. Not a single slightly evil bone in his body. Everything he does, he does for his people, not in a persuit of power, or revenge. He's genuinely good, so much so that he's willing to hang out with not only Heimerdinger, but also Jayce just so he could protect his community. He deserves so much better and I'll be heartbroken when he finds out that Vi was involved in Caitlyn's operation.

I don't know how Vi can forgive Caitlyn after what happened. I know I wouldn't. It just goes to show that you cannot trust that privileged people are going to be different just cause they were nice to you. Viktor found that out in season 1 and Vi is finding this out now.

Do you guys think the black rose is gonna pretend to be Mel?! I don't play LOL, but it is to my understanding that the black rose can make clones, so it'd be obvious that they're gonna take Mel's identity

Saw some people on twitter and tiktok (of course they were there) denying that jayvik has heavy romantic undertones by stating "they're friends! They're like brothers! Why everything has to be gay now?" and EVERYTHING HAS TO BE GAY CAUSE I SAID SO, NOW SHUT UP! But seriously though, I understand that to cishet viewers, their relationship might seem strictly platonic, 'cause they lack the eye that we, queer people, have for these things. And that's okay. Not everyone needs to understand the nuances of a homoerotic friendship. But in the same breath, they're quick to say that "Viktor was thinking about Sky, so obviously he's straight" and that pissed me off, cause: 1 - have you looked at him?; 2 - He feels responsible for her death (cause he was)! He's thinking about her because he feels GUILTY! that man was not interested in Sky whatsoever; 3 - it's so heteronormative to think that a man and a woman can't be friends, they're so adamant in denying jayvik cause "they're friends!" but they do the same fucking thing!; and finally 4 - HAVE YOU LOOKED AT HIM???

The trio "Sevika, Jinx and Isha" is probably my favourite thing in Act 1, I just can't get enough of them.

HEEEY MACARENA (ALRIGHT!)

Here's some long overdue BP and HH asks :) I tend to combine the two since there's not as many as the RADs, so this starts with BP and then moves into HH/Gen qs.

BP

MUAH ~ (I actually doodled this some time last year for fun and whimsy, based on those long mouth kiss meme pics XD)

A very quick overview of these types!

Vescordem: Maneaters/cannibals, excessively tall and strong.

Aleores: Minor dealmakers (goods and services). Jaw can unhinge and has venomous bite.

Sollicio: Major dealmakers - soul stealing ability. Often very good looking, has ichor powers.

Voxter: Ability to project 'thoughts' into someone else's mind - you ever have an intrusive thought? Same concept. All have a unique mark across the top part of their face.

Caumacies: Maneaters/cannibals, very strong. Has a third eye which sees only in heat vision - rarely opened simultaneously with normal eyes.

Hmm M or MA15 i think 🤔

You know, i actually have an idea for a game that has nothing to do with anything I'm currently doing XD One day i'll actually have time to make it, maybe. But anyway currently my actual project is i'm planning on making a comic \o/

I AM PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE that i have thumbnailed like 70 pages of this bloody thing and i'm still only in the first quarter of the planned chapters lol OTL Once i finish thumbing the chapter I'm on I plan to go back and render the pages properly before starting to post them :D

...which should hopefully give me a buffer as i repeat the process for the next chapters |D

You know, the concept of my characs being comfort characs for someone will never get old for me. It just tickles me pink ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ This answer will have two levels to it.

It's fine to RP or ask blog with Rire - he's one of my more "known" characs thanks to BTD so as long as credit is given (and it's made clear I'm not running the blog so it's not canon) then it's cool.

I'd prefer if no ask/RP blogs are created for any of my other BP or HH characs, as they are not as known yet. This may be revisited once i actually get the BP comic out but for now it's a no, sorry! (Though, if you are RPing in like...a private Discord with other friends who know who the characs are then I'm a bit more lenient with that.)

The reason for the BP/HH level is that ages ago when I had started establishing my own characs more, I randomly happened to find a forum where someone was RPing as Izm and .D but no one else knew who the characs were and so they clearly thought the RPer was the original artist and creator. Said RPer was not dissuading anyone of that notion. That has stuck with me for forever because at the time i never anticipated that someone would...actually try and do that with an OC. Like, bro srsly?!

One pet peeve for everyone:

.D: Willfully stupid people

Izm: .D smoking. He could care less if anyone else smokes but .D is not allowed on his watch

Marcus: Having decisions made for him without his input

Zeke: "How's the weather up there?"

Wei Ren: When people think he can't understand English cos he has an accent and so they deliberately speak slower and louder

Geez Caleb why are you damn RUDE

Here's one i prepared earlier! 😌

I'm not sure why you included Marcus as a demon, he's a human lol.

HH/More Gen

There are clubs which are created by students but need approval from the adults to exist.

HH is one of the better boarding schools which generally turn out successful alumni. The "obvious problems" we see are not actually obvious lol.

He doesn't need such manipulations.

Thanks! I hope you are inspired to go forth and create stuff! :D

One of the only perks of being a prefect at HH, really :d

Absolutely not lol

↓

4. These types of qs are always amusing to me only because you guys expect me to know but i absolutely do not XDD. Do normal people actually have a fave animal?? I dont even have a fave animal!! Anyway offshoot aside sorry that i can't even randomly assign anything, but if you are interested here is what they might be AS animals lol.

They actually don't have names because they were randomly designed NPCs i drew as like, placeholders |D;

Not including Rire or Nurse Isla:

.D is asexual, Izm is bisexual, and everyone else is straight probably. Caleb and Desmond are violently straight (as in Des is like very 90s stoner bro adamantly vocal about being straight and Caleb will actually try and break your neck for insinuating anything).

I have some female characs but I dont draw them that often as they are more side characs in BP and HH. The ones ive's drawn at least once are Isla (who looks like this, also doodled above), Tish (Des's sister) and Kenzie and Kelly (Zeke's sisters).

Every once in a blue moon i get an ask saying this but whenever i go to check nothing is wrong, so...nothing is wrong they do work |D; As the age old tech saying goes have you tried turning it off and on again? :d

Aren't those kind of things supposed to be...based on yourself??

𝐒𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐚…

Anything that's already up is staying up. I'm not deleting anything. You can kiss my ass. Eat dirt. Talk to God about it cause LaLa don't care. Block me if you have to.

Biggest Fan // I am going to see it through to the end. It was the first fic I posted and it seems to be the one everyone loves the most. It was coming to a close anyway. Not posting anymore visuals of him though. I’ll use his first name and imagine it’s someone else. It’s a story. Same way I don’t even condone what the two main characters are doing and am still writing it, is the same way I can finish the story and imagine Joe as someone else because I don’t support the original face claim. Reading is subjective. So you’ll interpret how you want anyway. Once it’s completed writing for Joe/Roman is clipped. Over with.

The Tribal Killer // Changing the last name of Roman as to not associate it with Joe. In my head it is someone else and I’m open to suggestions of other face claims (preferably similar to appearance in Joe because it fits the story’s description of him).

Any other fics I've been working on and haven’t posted yet, i'll just have to find other men as face claims and change the names.

Let’s pray to the most high that the twins are smarter than their cousin and keep quiet so I can post this Jey oneshot soon.

I wanna be clear that this blog does not support Joe or Roman any more. As a black woman I have to take a stance and draw a line. Being neutral and indifferent is not something I can afford as a minority. Silence also speaks volumes. If you're not apart of the solution you are apart of the problem.

People are dying, families being stripped apart all under Trump's administration. This mf has taken away the department of education. Closest endorser did a fucking Nazi salute on national television. Talks of martial law being declared. It couldn't be more blatant and in our faces than it is today. That project 2025 will be a bitch for anyone who still thinks politics is as simple as a difference in opinion. Me not caring whether someone lives or dies is not an opinion. It's a declaration with possibility of action. Trump is not just coming out of his mouth and saying he does not care for the well being of minorities, he's doing something about it. Period. And say it with me 🗣️ politics are not rooted in opinions they are rooted in beliefs. My father and uncles are politicians so I’m not chatting shit. These people push laws based on beliefs. They believe that a fetus is a person so they’re altering abortion laws to fit under murder. An opinion would be “I personally wouldn’t get an abortion.” Not pushing laws and declaring it murder. Be fr.

Everybody keeps trying to deep the context and talking about how he didn’t exclusively say “I voted for Trump.” I thought we were all readers lol. Please use your context clues. What do you think was meant by “clear choice.” Even “I support our president,” knowing who sits in that seat is insane. He said a whole bunch of nothing when he should’ve just said…nothing. It was irresponsible given his audience/fanbase. A simple “no comment,” would’ve sufficed. Then maybe y’all could get away with what he didn’t say exclusively and I’d understand. I get he said he doesn’t agree with everything that Trump does—but what he’s done and is still doing are too extreme to still support no matter what. And then that orange bitch getting an Ula Fala… yeah I see what’s going on here lol.

Also wanna be clear that I don’t hate Joe. I hate Trump so anyone who is indifferent or not clear and on the fence about him I have to take a step back from. I am disappointed and disgusted and I have every right to be. But hate is a strong word, especially for someone who is just ignorant or trying to save face for the sake of financial reasons. Not making excuses for Joe just calling it as I see it.

If you choose to still watch Mania/write about him that's your business. Not my job to micromanage grown ppl on the internet. I won't go around bashing ppl and I don't support that either.

All my mutuals, and other writers I’ve connected with—y’all know I fuck with y’all the long way. If you choose to still write for or about him that’s your business and I’ll respect it. Probably won’t repost it especially if you have his face on the post, but i’ll be supporting your art in other ways like commenting if I can.

I hope you all still support me as a writer regardless of who I am writing about. I've really enjoyed this fandom, everyone has been so kind, funny and enlightening thus far. I hope it stays that way. Thank you💗

And this is my last time speaking on it unless someone directly asks me a question or I see something funny and have to repost. (Y’all know I play too much.) Let’s stop giving our energy to things that don’t mean us any good. Cause honestly this is the reaction people like them want. They’re in entertainment. Their livelihoods depend on traction and buzz.

Back to this writing shit😂

Thanks for the tag @houndsofcorduff!

OC in Fifteen

Rules: Share 15 lines of dialog that really show off a particular character

I'll answer for Anarac, let's see if I can actually scrape up fifteen lines of dialog from this man lol - bro is not the chatty sort

“It’s— It’s not your fault I’m afraid.”

“I will go.”

“I can help. Just… on the ship.”

“Two hours. You’re two hours late. I thought….”

“Yo-u’re not r-eal. You two are far away from here.”

“I know your names. I… think you know mine?”

“...B-Bluff."

“Be careful out there, kid. You don’t know how much danger— how much danger you’re in.”

“They watch…. Beyond. Beware.”

“We’re not like you.”

“I just happened to see the rope. …The kid is still learning, don’t be too harsh.”

“Starlight. It hates me.”

“You can enjoy the beauty too. It doesn’t have to be all numbers and science stuff.”

“It isn’t silly if it means a lot to you.”

“Yeah, it’s pretty good. I think I missed being outside.”

I think it's telling that I had to scroll through like 100 pages to get this much dialog. Like I said, not chatty. However, what he lacks in dialog, Anarac more than makes up for in internal monolog. Here's a choice selection:

Aliens must have sandwiches, right? Everyone has sandwiches.

Wow, it’s like I’m a mushroom or something.

Oh, fuck this bullshit.

And what could someone want from you so badly they’d risk a second death? They’d have to be crazy, which, with this crew, is only twenty percent true. 

After a few thousand years in a hive mind, damn it, I deserve a solid meal. 

Maybe not all of my problems are able to be fixed, but I think a dumpling could definitely do a number on those that are. 

Sun, it’s like raising teenagers all over again….

He wanted that dumpling so goddamn bad 💀

Anyways, I'll tag @lunesartsworld @kiennwrites @seastarblue @cain-e-brookman @sergeantnarwhalwrites and anyone else who wants in!

[a-man-in-the-crowd]

THOUGHTS! THOUGHTS!

no bc i was so paranoid the entire time that something bad was gonna happen, the sigh of relief i let out at the end of the episode (even if monty is DEFINITELY gonna cause problems)

okay i'm not gonna bother trying to ss a gif but THE DEAD BODIES ON THE FLOOR UNDERNEATH THE HOUNDS?? WHAT THE FUCK??

i was TERRIFIED for pluto for a second bro 😭

NO EULALIE GUYS NO COME BACK

okay so the fact it seems EVERYONE is getting backstory this season makes me a little less scared for the posh gang like yeah okay that's just the VIBE of this arc guys it's fiiinneee

also i squealed in delight at those outfits THOSE DRESSES ARE SO PRETTY?? THESE CHARACTER DESIGNS ARE GORGEOUS?? THE COLOURS?? i'm not entirely sure if these outfits give more 40s or 50s i might actually look into that more some other time (that is, if somebody else doesn't get to it first LOL)

[EDIT: one of them is pregnant, another is getting married, so it's probably the 50s! but also this could've been before the war, or before america joined the war??]

y'all why is every character so relatable this can't be happening rn 😭 eulalie i wanna give you a big hug.

i'm thinking maybe she did end up follow through on the tutoring thing, or perhaps she did the paranormal investigator thing and a bunch of orphans ended up clumping together with her?? did she just start an orphanage?? hmm

YEAAAH PLUTO GO KING ILY YOU'RE MY ICON MY LEGEND MY MOMENT SJDJSF MWAH MWAH

okay i've been wanting to say this for a WHILE ever since i re-read the maze arc for that trans pluto post but i never really had the opportunity: i think the reason pluto's footsteps are so quiet is because in life he had to sneak around his own home because of his dad. i really wanna talk more about pluto and his trauma but i don't think we know enough about him for me to make any meaningful analysis. i'll probably wait till i can see more of pluto this arc to go back to this thought.

NO WAY?? WILL??

WILL WILL WILL HI WILL!! yo my faves (pluto and will) are in a room again. what could go wrong!

also the way will immediately apologizes AND THE SHARED 'OWWWW' WAS SO FUNNY I LOVE THEM I'M IN LOVE WITH THEM THEY'RE MY POOKIES.

i like the difference in eulalie's reaction to will and eulalie's reaction to monty. she didn't mind will's presence bc without monty he seems harmless, but monty can go die in a fire (HA. i'm so funny). i wonder if that opens up the possibility of more eulalie-will interactions, i think that'd be interesting to explore since out of everyone, eulalie's been shown to be the nicest to will.

PLEASE THEIR FACES THEY FUCKING HATE THIS MAN. duke wanting to throw him off a balcony frfr. and the card reference ily monty.

i take it back stfu monty (jk i still love him but please shut up bro 😭). i was talking about the episode 115 thumbnail to my friend and my commentary on it probably is fitting over here: wtf does he have to be cocky about literally anyone could throw him to the hounds at any moment wipe that smug smirk off your face you dumbass.

lenore/morella/berenice trio goes crazy 👀 excited to see where that goes, although it seems like that'll take a while

and, of course, my weekly check in on the fast pass thumbnails

MONTY FLASHBACK?? LET'S GO???

My Dad (And The Present)

Cg!House x Little!Fem!Reader, Implied Cg!Wilson x Little!Fem!Reader

Notes- If you saw this before I finished it when I accidentally posted it, no you didn't lol

Warnings- Reader likes pink

"Gross! You still call your father Daddy?" Chase criticizes from his seat next to you.

"Chase, just because you have Daddy issues doesn't mean everyone else has a problem with their dad." You tease back.

Thank god he didn't ask you to answer it. Too bad House is going to be pissed you didn't pick up the phone. The duality of decisions.

You continue debating the case. You'll admit you kept making jokes saying it was Lupus, good thing House still wasn't here.

Speaking of House he keeps calling. You've muted your phone, but you see the light peaking from the screen. After the fourth time glancing at your phone Foreman sighs.

"You gonna answer that?" He asks, irritated.

"Yeah..." You glance at the screen as it lights up again. "Yeah, nooo." You say with an evil grin.

"What'd your dad do to you to piss you off." Cameron asks with a confused smile.

"Nothing." Your smile grows as House hobbles into the room. "He's just dramatic."

"What if it's an emergency?" Chase questions concerned.

You look over at House. "Nah, he's fine. Like I said he's dramatic."

"Sounds like you're a bad daughter." House scrutinizes, scrunching up his face.

"Wait," Foreman interrupts. "How did you know we were talking about her dad?"

"Well you ducklings aren't necessarily quiet. Not to mention the only family member she still talks to is her dad." House responds with an over dramatic eye roll.

"What was that about not having family issues?" Chase attempts to call you out.

"Ah. Ah. I said I don't have problems with my dad." You correct confidently.

"And yet you ignore his calls." House teases.

You roll your eyes back. "As I said he's dramatic, and I'm sure he'll forgive me."

House leans forward on his cane. "Or he'll disown you."

"Or you're as dramatic as my dad." You judge back.

"Yeah, House it makes no sense to claim someone's parent would disown them simply cause they didn't pick up the phone." Foreman argues with you.

Chase shuffles uncomfortably. "Can we get back to the case now?"

"What can't handle someone talking about how their dad actually loves them?" You question him evilly.

"What are you implying?" Chase pushes back.

"Nothing really." You say looking away with a grin. "Just that my dad's amazing and yours isn't."

Chase scoffs and House has to hide his prideful grin.

"C'mon, you know it's true." You tease harder.

"How could he say it's true if we've never met your dad." Cameron asks, trying to defend Chase.

You grin even harder. "Yes you have. You just didn't know it."

"Wait, what? When? " Chase's eyes widen.

"I'll never tell." You laugh wickedly.

Despite the confusion spreading on the team's faces, House brings the topic back to the case. The team and you throw diagnosis after diagnosis at House as he insults and teases. After a last call by Cameron to check for Hunter Syndrome House shoos the team out of the door.

He stops you before you can make it out as well.

"Come here." He ushers with his head.

House leads you into his office.

"Now," He emphasizes by hitting his cane on the ground. "First things first. Why didn't you answer your phone?" He glares lightly.

"I was working and I knew it wasn't important." You shrug it off.

"You were working?" You watch him judge.

You shake your head, like you said before, dramatic. "You text me when it's an emergency so I thought it was fine to continue to y'know do the job I'm paid for."

"Well then I guess you don't get your present, and Wilson was so excited for you to get it too." House shakes his head. "Too bad brats don't get presents."

As much as you wanted to get excited for whatever gift House may or may not have brought you, you know your caregiver well and know his tricks. He was trying to get you to regress at work. You assume he does it when he feels the need to care for someone, but he always claims he does it when he sees you need to.

"I don't want the present anyway." You lie poorly. "We have a very important case."

House turns from the place he took at his desk. His eyes narrow at you in a mocking way.

"No..." He draws out. "I have a case and you have a present to open." He lifts up a hot pink bag. "Wouldn't want to upset Uncle Wilson would you?"

The bag did look pretty. You could hold back your regression. You're a big capable girl. Just ignore the fact you're already slipping just looking at the pretty party bag... You'll be fine.

You take the bag dangling from his fingers gingerly. "Just so you know, this isn't going to make me slip."

He scoffs, rolling his eyes. "Of course it won't. Wilson bought it."

You walk over to the couch and sit. You hesitate for a moment before pulling the paper out. A bit of excitement crawled up your spine the closer you got to the actual gift.

After the paper was gone you peeked into the bag. A light pink and white dipped in, cone shape stared back at you. You picked it up and observed the newly discovered snow globe. It had a carousel inside.

"Not really a toy, but Wilson wouldn't shut up about how much you'd like it." House states with faux annoyance.

"It's a carousel!" You shout happily.

You flip the snow globe over to see the glitter shower over the horses.

"You should hit the button on the bottom."

You do exactly as House says and switch the button to the on spot. Music starts to play soothingly out of the mini speaker and the houses start moving in a circle. Giggles flood out of your mouth. It's so pretty, and the music is so nice!

House smiles calmly, a rare but kind sight. "So I should tell him you like it, huh?"

"Uh Huh!" You agree nodding your head enthusiastically.

"Hey, kid." He calls out while you watch the globe insistently.

You hum a response.

"How old are you now?"

[worriedvision]

tighnari x reader where the reader cries a lot, over small things and over small sad stuff. (not quite crybaby but emotional) one day reader is going to like the tavern place in sumeru (yk the place where everyone was in alhaitham's demo?) and hears tighnari complaining and talking bad about reader and a time where they cried over something small with his friends (like cyno, kaveh, haitham) and then the reader well (cries over that, and just avoids him for a while) BUT its gonna be a fluffy ending where he apologizes and everything he said after the reader tell him the stuff they heard. you recently did one of my requests, i was very pleased with it, so, thank you very much, lovely!

As someone who cries a lot over small stuff, this is so me lol! Gender neutral reader, sad ending unfortunately. I was going to make it a happy one, but it felt right to make it a sad ending lol

--

There were times that you didn't know how you managed to get with Tighnari of all people. He was the one who didn't try much, in fact at the beginning of your working life with him he couldn't stand your weeping over small problems. Any minor problem that you caused, anything that could be easily fixed, anything that someone else was going through? You'd cry at the drop of a hat, there were times that you'd be embarrassed after thinking about. He was the one who asked you out, and you landed up crying before saying yes as if it was a damn proposal.

You'd try to get better with grounding yourself a bit, distancing yourself mentally from things that would make you cry, but you'd still cry at small things. You suppose that was your 'superpower' that was actually a pretty pathetic power.

Your most recent crying episode was from some idiot who had consumed a mushroom that caused them to hallucinate - the hallucinations being scary. You couldn't help but cry when seeing them distressed, which was what alerted your boyfriend to find the poor person quicker. When you apologised for crying yet again, your boyfriend brushes it off and states that it's just part of who you are.

You thought he was past the point of being angry whenever you showed these emotions, so you decide to meet up with your friends for drinks. As you get to the bar early, you decide to wait outside for your friends. Kaveh happened to go in, waving and giving a cheery hello as he nips in to hang out with friends. Shortly after, a friend shows up and you both enter.

Upstairs, you can hear your boyfriend huffing to himself.

"What's wrong?" Cyno asks, Tighnari instantly ready to reply.

"I'll tell you what's wrong, my partners a crybaby!" Tighnari tuts, Kaveh clearing his throat as he knows you're no doubt hearing this.

"You knew about that part of them long before you were dating." Alhaitham states, crossing his arms at the same time that you get up to leave.

"Well, I thought they would calm down with their feelings by having a partner, and I am attracted to them physically." As he finishes the statement, you've left the bar with tears in your eyes.

--

The next week, you don't give Tighnari any affection. It was clear to you that he didn't like one of the most obvious things about you - how overly empathetic you are. He didn't have the time to think too hard on this, which gave you more time to reflect on the state of your relationship.

It becomes increasingly clear that you just were not right for him. You were lucky to get some time with him as a partner, but you had the impression that he saw you as someone he had to babysit whenever you started to cry. It didn't matter that he was physically attracted to you, he wished you weren't so emotional about everything.

With him also being the boss, you knew you would need to find work elsewhere as soon as you could. As much as it hurts you, you two were like chalk and cheese.

He deserved someone he didn't need to be on eggshells around, and you deserved a partner that cherished the fact you could put yourself in the position of others and really feel how they felt.

--

When your boyfriend asked you to meet him at the bar, you were ready to tell him you were breaking up with him, and you had been mentally preparing yourself to not cry.

"I hope you are well, I'm afraid I have some bad news." Tighnari states, pushing a paper and a pen towards you. "You are fired. I am also breaking up with you - your empathy is something I cannot work with as an employer, as well as a boyfriend."

It was like a slap to the face, you were ready to just cry a little bit at the conversation.

But instead of being sad, you're angry. Grabbing the pen, you feel several sets of eyes on you as everyone around you is seeing and hearing everything. Signing the paper aggressively, you slam the pen down as you make direct eye contact with your now ex-boss and ex-boyfriend.

"You did this to embarrass me. You did this to emphasise something I already know - I cry too much." You spit out, not a single tear leaving you as you got straight to anger.

"Fuck you, Master Tighnari. I hope I never see you again."

Reading TGCF: Chapter Four

For those who don't know, I am reading TGCF for the first time and sharing my thoughts!

If you have not read it, there will be spoilers! Consider this a warning.

Also- if you want to follow along, I am aiming to post updates daily. You can find all the posts in the tag Bloopitynoot reads TGCF. You can also check out the intro post for context on my read BUT if you followed along with my SVSSS read, the rules and vibe are the same.

I have been obsessed with the masala chai kit my partner got me for Christmas, so I'm back with the chai today; it's just so creamy and spicy, I love it.

I will give a heads up now that I am not sure if I will have chapters this weekend. My partner and I are going up to visit her family and I don't think I'll have the time to read and post. So lots of advanced warning there will be a small gap in posts later this week!

Let's go chapter 4!

These titles are getting to me; so long. I mean, they are very accurate, but so wordy LOL.

This is so funny. Xiao-Ying: I'm a real person! I put you (Xie Lian) in drag! Everyone else: what an abnormal man with queer hobbies. p104

This is so annoying. they literally told these fools explicitly NOT to do one thing. I do hope Xiao-Pengtou dies because OMG, the audacity of this man. p105

and now this guy wants to profit off of the bride's deaths. So shameful! p107

barf, barf, barf. Now they are ranking the DEAD women's looks and daring each other to assault to corpses. Ew. Why are cis straight men. p108

Oh. I've made it to the forest of hanging corpses. Love that. p110

I love how chill they are seeing the corpse forest. like, "ah, that's the Green Ghost, he likes corpse forests. He's just about a supreme. Better leave him be." p110

The ANTICIPATION! The fact that Fu Yao is scared of the butterflies. WHAT ARE YOU?!?!??! p112.

My heart for this bandaged boy! I don't know who he is, but he feels like a bullied little guy and I just want to hug him and make him soup. p114

Good. They finally shut Xiao-Pengtou up. p115

This is like a fuck-ton of powerful entities on this mountain. We've got a wrath level, near supreme, and then butterfly boy who isn't even on the level system he's so powerful. What karma does town owe, like damn! p117

and the Ghost Groom was there the whole time! Sneaky bride #18 p118

What a sweet boy; Xie Lian apologizing to the corpse bride's before having them fight each other p120

Xiao-Ying is too nice! I would have just left Xiao-Pengtou where he was. fuck that guy. p121

Xia-Lian really showing up to work with his auto-pilot customer service voice, "Thank you, thank you. Please support my act with money if you have the means, or with applause if you haven't...what?!" p122

ofc the spiritual energy runs out when you are about to get the most important bit of information. p124

oh man. I kind of feel bad for the Ghost Bride. Her shitty story and cheating lover. That's a rough go. p126

This is what I'm saying! They should not have saved Xiao-Pengtou. Look at the problems this vile man is causing now. p129

I'm not even going to give xiao-pengtou an RIP. He was the worst kind of person. He got the day he deserved. p130.

Rouye out here literally doing the Lord's work. Bless that feisty string for saving our boys life again. p132

Fuck. I'm crying about Xiao-Ying. Damnit. I knew she was going to die because I liked her character. :((((( p134

OMG. Two General Pei's . 137

Okay I take everythign back about the Ghost Bride. She's so dramatic LOL. She even broke her own legs too??? Dang. What an intense woman. p139

Another cliff hanger! My next bet is that maybe the bandage boy is the Green Ghost????? p143 (don't actually tell me lol).

RIP My Girl

This was a banger of a chapter. I am so sad about Xiao-Ying though, I really liked her headstrong character.

Also in this chapter; if I had taken a shot for every time I had murder thoughts about XIao-Pengtou I would have surely been deceased. Glad that death happened though. Big oof on the most unlikeable character since Jin Guangshit.

head ache

Hunter x gn!reader

summary: Hunter has a big headache and needs a cozy day in a bed and and some scalp massages.

warnings: migraines and headaches, mentions of throwing up (but no one is throwing up, it's mainly soft and fluff lol)

words: ~1200

a/n: hello everyone! another day, another fic, right? i filled another promt for @summer-of-bad-batch: this time it's the "can you braid my hair?" prompt. i was just thinking about what helps me when a migraine hits and thought that hunter might like that, too. i hope you enjoy!

MASTERLIST

SUMMER OF BAD BATCH MASTERLIST

It's been just about a month since you and Hunter are in a relationship.

You met him as the handsome and purposeful man, who cares for his brothers and would do absolutely anything for his sister.

He is kind, and gentle, and looks after everyone as best as he can.

He is just so good and amazing, it didn't take you too long to fall for him. Hard.

You couldn't believe it when he agreed to go on a date with you.

And that it went well.

Now it's a few weeks later, and you feel like you're even more in love with him.

But during the time with him, you of course noticed that he sometimes has some issues with his health.

Most of those times, he has problems with his head.

He is prone to headaches and migraines. If they are on their worst, they get so bad he even throws up and can't move outside his dark room for the whole day. Sometimes several days, even.

Tech said that he occasionally got unconscious when they were younger, but by now they had some medicine for it, so at least it didn't get that bad anymore. Seemingly, the fresh air here also helps a lot.

And today is a day, on which your boyfriend already wakes up with a big headache.

You immediately know when he doesn't have his arms around you, like so often when you wake up.

Then you see the way he lies in bed beside you: he seems stiff, he's curled into himself and his breathing is accelerated and shallow, like he doesn't want to agitate his nose more than he needs to.

"Hunter?" you whisper and carefully lean over him.

"Yeah?" he murmurs back, and with the way he talks, it's the last sign for you to know that his head definitely hurts like hell.

"Are you okay?" you still decide to ask and carefully brush some lonely hair strands out of his face.

"Fine," he murmurs, clipped.

"Did you already take painkillers?" you ask. He huffs out a small 'no'.

"Do you need something else? Water? A cooling pack? Space?" you ask and he repeats his answer from before.

Nonetheless you give him a small kiss on his forehead, stand up, and sneak out of the room. 

You stayed over at your place overnight, so you're kinda relieved that you won't meet any of his siblings when you come down the stairs. It also might help Hunter when it isn't that noisy over the day.

You pour him a glass of water and grab some painkillers. Then you make your way up to your hurting boyfriend again.

When you arrive at his bedside, he carefully opens his eyes, but squints at the light from outside.

It's too bright, you remember.

You give him the painkillers and put the glass of water on the nightstand. Then you make your way over to close the curtains.

When you turn around to him again, you see how he swallows the painkillers with a swig of his water, and empties the glass.

"Yeah, no water," you mock him, smiling. Before he can say anything, you already run off another time to fill it up.

When you come back, he lays there again like tooka hit by a speeder.

"You need a bucket or anything else?" you ask to make sure, place the glass on the same place as before and sit down on the edge of the bed, carefully sliding a hand through his hair.

He furrows his brows and pulls a small face, and you immediately pull your hand away again, scared that you made it worse.

"No, it's fine, 'm not gonna throw up," he says quietly, "Jus' wanna sleep."

"Okay, I'll let you do that, then. Just tell me when you need anything, alright?" you offer him, still so worried. But when you try to stand up again, he reaches out for your hand.

"Stay?" he asks, kindly.

"Of course, where do you want me?" you immediately agree, trying to make him feel better in every way.

"Mhh, can you... spoon me?" he asks, almost shyly. You see a slightly red tint on his cheeks, and you're sure it wasn't there just a few seconds ago.

"Oh, you know I'd love to," you say and make your way over. If you wouldn't worry so much about him, you would find it very cute. But like this, you just decide to add this to the back of your mind and keep it there until you'll cuddle the next time.

You slide in behind him. His posture is still rigid and stiff, but you try to snuggle up to him. He lifts one of his arms and you put yours beneath it. The other one you put over and around his head, weirdly. Then you pull him closer, snuggle up to his back and place your head in a way his long curls won't tickle your face.

"You're comfortable?" you ask. "Yeah. Already feel better," he says and you could swear a small smile appears on his lips.

You roll your eyes, jokingly, and put your head in a more comfortable position, too, trying not to jostle him too much.

After a few minutes of silence, in which you can only hear your synchronized breathing, Hunter clears his throat awkwardly.

"Is your hand... good?" he asks and you hum in confirmation: "Yeah."

"Oh, do you... hm... No, forget it," he says, but cancels his sentence. You decide to not let it go.

"No, tell me."

Hunter moves around a few seconds, clearing his throat again and turns around in the end, so he can look at you. This time, his cheeks are bright red and you're wondering what made him feel so embarrassed.

"Can you braid my hair?" he asks after a few moments of looking around.

"Braid it?" you ask, just to be clear.

"You don't need to," he backtracks almost immediately, but you shake your head.

"No, I'd love to. I was just worried I might hurt you," you explain yourself, but Hunter just declines. "It actually felt like some of the pressure is lifted off my head,"  he admits.

"Well, then of course I can," you agree.

After readjusting your positions again, Hunter's head is comfortably laying in your lap, his body is placed between your legs, and your back is leaning against the wall behind the bed, padded with some pillows.

"You have to tell me if it hurts," you say, and Hunter just smiles: "I will."

You play around with his hair for quite some time. You try out different hairstyles, trying not to pull on his hair too much, softly massage his scalp, and decide that he could definitely rock a style with two braids that are placed across his head. He looks quite attractive like that, actually.

You enjoy the time of closeness and the intimacy the activity brings with it. Hunter seems to be quite content, too.

When he finally is able to stand up by midday, he almost looks fine again. Even though his hair is a mess, he declares his head doesn't hurt anymore, and you actually believe him when he says your hands did wonders to him.

For your Martha Knight AU I'm curious about Ellie.

I am too! I haven't put much thought into her role, and I suppose that since its a genderbent au, she'd be Eli huh?

Man,,,, i won't lie Ellie is such a non-thought of mine, and I blame canon for making her so narratively insignificant that she feels like narrative deadweight. 90% of the time I forget about her while making aus up until someone asks me about her, and when they do I blink for a moment and go 'oh sHIT WAIT--' like a parent that forgot to pick up their child from school.

it's why i made her non-existent in the blood blossom au and in the stillborn au because i didnt wanna deal with finding a place for her in the narrative lol.

At least in the stillborn au there's a legitimate narrative reason for it. The reason being that it'd contradict Danny and Vlad's relationship, since Ellie canonically is proof of Vlad giving up on convincing Danny to join his side, and stillborn Vlad would NEVER.

In the blood blossom au I don't have any in-world excuse, i just didn't wanna deal with her. Sorry boo </3

ANYWAYS to ACTUALLY answer your question,,,, for the sake of things I'll say he's Eli now, and that he exists. Just for fun. And I guess that his significance in the story is about the same up until Danny ends up disowned and homeless? There isn't much he can do to help his sister after, and she doesn't really want his -- or anyone else's -- help right now. She wants to be left alone, so he reluctantly does.

Though I think he follows suit and changes his name after Danny's disowned, from Daniel Fenton to Elijah Knight.

He does find out that she's pregnant around the same time Sam and Tucker do, which is about a few weeks after she panic calls Jazz about it. He needs an impromptu health lesson about how that works, which is embarrassing for everyone all around.

Other than that though,,, up until Bruce is born there isn't much for him to do? It's important to me that Martha/Danny is relatively and largely alone during this time, plus it's not like she has the money or space to keep Eli with her while she's traveling around the US.

I think he plays a more active role though after Bruce is born and Martha settles down in Gotham! He adores his nephew and sobbed when he first saw him because he couldn't comprehend how teeny he was, he had to sit down before Martha let him hold Bruce because she was afraid he might drop him.

I haven't really decided yet whether or not Bruce knows about his Mom being a halfa growing up, so far my general consensus has been that Martha keeps it a secret from him at first due to a number of things. Some of it being trauma related, the other being that kids have no concept of secrecy and she's scared Bruce might accidentally tell other kids that his mommy has superpowers and suddenly they'll have the GIW knocking on their doors like ICE.

Another is that she doesn't know if Bruce inherited any of her powers, and she worries that if she tells Bruce about them before they manifest in Bruce, he'll get his hopes up. The last thing she wants to do is break her baby's heart if he doesn't have any.

BUT, if she's keeping it secret from Bruce, then so is Eli.

Overall though,,,, there isn't really much for Eli to do lol. Which is my exact problem with him. But! Those are some of my ideas for him.

Your tmnt au meeting Monkey kid and the gang?

I think you're talking about my 2012 TMNT designs? Which I understand, theyre really far from canon HELPP but they're not really an au 😭 or they were never really meant to be. Anyways I have a lot of thoughts and I could explain why I picked each character and paired them up with each other and if I can I'll definitely draw the rest of them!!

I'll explain right now why I paired Mei with Donnie and Tang with April

First and foremost though,

⚠️ NONE OF THESE ARE SHIPS ⚠️

With that out of the way I'll start with why I paired Mei and Donnie. I like to think that Mei is a super good builder and tbh, this is actually pretty canon. We see her rebuild her bike in S1 Ep 3 and in S1 Ep1 she's also the one who builds their secret fortress which is INCREDIBLY made. With this information in mind it can be quick to assume Mei is a pretty good mechanic! In S3 of 2012 TMNT we know that Casey and Donnie spend a lot of time in the small barn out back working on stuff both seperately and at times together! While I do think Casey can understand some of the tech jargon Donnie talks about (as long as it relates to car parts) I don't think Casey can really understand the technical stuff. I think Casey's knowledge probably comes from self taught experience, as a result he can identify each part and what they do but not the technical terms for them and professional blueprints for things and stuff. Which is why I think Donnie would be absolutely ecstatic to have someone able to read his work!! And like I said earlier Mei is really good with tech as we see a lot in the earlier seasons before they delved hard into mystic magic and stuff. I would have paired Mei with Casey but I have other ideas grrr!!! If people are interested I'll explain more.

Moving on to why I paired Tang with April! I kinda rewrote April a lot HELP I think her writing had a lot of problems so I just changed stuff lol. I like to think that the reason April tried so hard to prove herself and stuff was because she doesn't want to be useless. I feel like she gets sorta babies a lot (mainly by her father) and it makes her want to overachieve to prove a point, prove that she's grown and that she's perfectly capable of handling herself. The problem though is the years of fighting experience she lacks. In a normal situation April can 100% take care of herself but in ones where she faces opponents with a lifetime's experience in combat versus her measily 1 and a half years the difference is huge. And on top of this April has to figure out her psychic powers, which in S4 literally blew up in her face. I just think she struggles with feeling inadequate, when she does something she wants to be the best and it's hard for her to feel like she has a place in the team when everyone else seems not to struggle the way she does in battle. She just tends to forget the difference in fighting experience even though they're all the same age. Anyways, being unsure of ur worth on the team and struggling with your powers seems like it would be right up Tang's alley!! Tang in S3 Ep8 has a huge tipping point where we see he struggles with self doubt and feeling like he isn't needed. Then later when he discovers he has powers he struggles to control them and get them to do what he wants. I think Tang reassuring April is just a really nice gesture!! Especially since Tang and April are like the most human out of the rest of the group (excluding Casey but he struggles in a different way). I think in a group full of spectacular talents, it's easy to feel ordinary which is a thought I think plagues Tang and April's minds while their characters develop. I tried to keep this short so I hope it makes sense ahhh if you're still reading you're totally awesome and cool!!!

COMFORTING HUGS

Hobie Brown x Reader

Warnings: fluffy hurt/comfort story, fem!Spider!R, use of Y/n and petnames that i love, father figure Miguel, maybe ooc Hobie?

///

When you returned to the Spider Society you had your head down and your gaze fixed on the floor. You didn't have the courage to look into the eyes of all the other Spider men and women around you, because you could already hear them whispering to each other when you passed by them. Rumors went around really fast.

"It looks like it went badly for Y/n again today"

"I heard that this time even Gwen risked her life"

"At this point i don't know if i'll ever want to go on a mission with her"

You closed your eyes in shame. You wanted to cover your ears with your hands and you would have much preferred that in that moment there was a hole under you, ready to sink you, rather than face everyone else.

Someone put a hand on your shoulder and you lifted your head, meeting Gwen's eyes.

"Hey, don't worry Y/n. It's okay, don't listen to them mh?"

You looked at her with shining eyes and you nodded slowly, silently, not trusting yourself to speak.

You and Gwen made it to the headquarter, where, of course, there was the only one person you were afraid to face right now.

Miguel was standing there in front of you, with his back to you. Luckily for you, Jess wasn't there with him, simply because she'd gone with her team to clean up the mess you'd just made. You couldn't have put up with a lecture from her too.

The platform Miguel was standing on slowly dropped to the ground and he stepped off it, then slowly walked towards you and Gwen.

Immediately you lowered your head again and a few seconds later you saw his feet appear before your eyes.

"Are you going to explain to me what happened today?" you heard him say it in such a severe tone that it made the blood run cold in your veins.

Initially you said nothing and Gwen tried to speak for you.

"Miguel, it wasn't her fault. We had some problems and-"

"I didn't ask you, Gwen" Miguel interrupted "I asked her"

You hesitated again, playing with your fingers and feeling your palms and forehead begin to sweat.

"Y/n. Look at me in the eyes" Miguel ordered you.

You complied, lifting your head to look at him. He stared back with his hands resting on his hips and his head tilted slightly to one side.

"So?" he asked you.

You swallowed a lump of saliva.

"T-There was a problem with the anomaly. It was stronger than expected and so i formulated a plan, but it went wrong and-"

"A plan that was totally different from what i ordered you to do. Or am i wrong?" he said, irritated. "Haven't i already told you more than once, that you must do everything possible not to interfere with the canon events?"

You nodded slowly.

"Yes, Miguel and i'm sorry. But... But there were a lot of civilians risking their lives and we couldn't let them die"

"Yet to save the lives of people you don't even know you almost risked Gwen's life, your friend!" he exclaimed suddenly making you jump "Not to mention you even let the anomaly escape! And now, because of you, a lot of other people have to work to fix the mess YOU caused! You almost ruined the canon and it's not even the first time this has happened, Y/n!"

While he cursed with his hands thrown in anger, you clenched your hands in two fists, feeling your heart pounding. Gwen stepped forward, raising a hand.

"Miguel, it was my fault too, really. Not just hers" she said trying to defend you, but he didn't listen to her.

He turned to look at you again, pointing a finger at you.

"Listen to me Y/n, i have no idea what's going on with you. At first i thought you were just having a bad time, but it's been a while since you did your job properly" he said and you nodded again feeling guilty. "This has to stop. Because i didn't take you under my wing just to let you ruin everything me and the others are doing"

You felt your eyes become watery with tears.

"You're right. I'm sorry Miguel, i'll do my best next time. I promise"

Miguel looked into your eyes for a few seconds and then sighed.

"There won't be a next time"

At those words, your heart sank.

"W-What?"

"I want you to take a long break from the Spider Society. And only when Jess and i are really sure that you will be able to work like before again, then you can start again with the missions"

"Miguel you can't!" Gwen called to him and he turned away from you again.

You felt your legs turn to jelly, but you managed to stay standing.

"I don't know if this is because of Spiderpunk's influence, but i don't even care anymore" Miguel continued. "Whatever the problem is Y/n, don't show up here until it's resolved. Because until now, you've done nothing but disappoint me"

Your eyes were fixed on the figure of Miguel as he climbed onto his platform, but your mind was completely elsewhere. Gwen gave you a pitying look. She was perhaps the only one who could understand what you were feeling in that moment. Hearing those words come out of the mouth of someone you considered as a mentor, actually almost a father, hurt more than a stab in the chest. Not to mention the guilt about the mission and all the trouble you created Jess, Gwen and Miguel.

Gwen tried to touch your shoulder with a hand, but as soon as her fingers touched you, you turned on your heels, walking quickly out of the headquarter.

Gwen glared at Miguel, seeing him wipe his face with a pained sigh. Gwen watched you run away and even though she wanted to follow you to comfort you, she knew there was no need, because you were going to the only person who could really comfort you.

When you exited the portal, you weren't surprised to find Hobie already sitting on the couch in your living room. After all, you told him that he was allowed to show up at your house whenever he needed it.

Hobie looked up from his guitar as he sensed your presence.

"Hey luv, how was it with Gwendy?" he asked you with a smile, but it vanished as soon as he noticed the tears streaming down your face.

You tried to wipe your tears away with your hands as Hobie immediately rose to his feet, walking towards you.

"What happened? Why are you crying?" he asked frantically, placing both hands on your cheeks and lifting your face to look at him. "Please talk to me, sweetheart"

"H-Hobie... I-I... I'm sorry..."

You sniffed, but when you tried to speak only strangled sobs escaped your lips.

"Oh, darlin'. Come here"

Hobie held you against his body, one arm along your back and the other across your head, making you cry into his denim jacket.

"Deep breaths, come on. 'S okay, breathe" he murmured, occasionally leaving a few kisses on your hair. "I'm here, it's alright sweetheart"

So after a few minutes of weeping against his body, the sobs finally stopped. You continued to sniff and Hobie put a hand on your face to pull you away from him slightly so he could look you in the eyes again.

"So... Who do i have to hit in the face with my guitar?" he asked you with a smile and even though you were feeling at your worst, you felt the corners of your lips slightly bend upwards.

"M-Miguel..." you murmured.

"What did he tell you? What did he do?"

As you remembered Miguel's words you squinted, letting the last tears flow and Hobie wasted no time wiping them away with his thumb.

"Nothing, it's just..." you murmured, taking a small breath and looking at the floor. "It was terrible today"

Hobie cocked his head slightly to the side, giving you a small, encouraging smile. With the same hand he had on your cheek, he brushed a tuft of hair from your forehead, but he said nothing, leaving you time to speak.

"I failed my mission again. I thought.... I thought i had everything under control, but i messed it up again. The anomaly escaped and Gwen almost died because of me! A-And now Jess and the others have to sort out the mess i did again and nobody wants to work with me anymore! And Miguel hates me, he said he doesn't want me at the HQ anymore and he said i'm a disappointment to him and-"

"Hey hey, honey', let's stop here for a sec huh?" Hobie interrupted, grabbing both of your hands and bringing them to his chest. "If you keep talking so fast you'll end up losing all the air. So take a deep breath now, come on"

Hobie took a breath and you copied it, in through your nose and out through your mouth. You did that a couple more times and then he gave you another smile.

"Better?" he asked you.

You nodded, tightening your grip around his hands.

"Yeah... I mean, actually no, but yeah. Thanks"

"Okay. Why don't you sit down for a few seconds? Come on"

He dragged you by the hand to the sofa he was sitting on a while ago and after moving his guitar, he made you sit on it. Hobie didn't sit next to you, but opted to crouch between your legs, looking up at you with his hands on your knees.

"Everything's been going wrong ever since i failed the first time" you murmured, playing with your fingers. "I don't know what's happening to me, i just know that i'm stressed and i'm not thinking straight. And i just keep mess things up"

"Do you know what Miguel said?" you asked him. "He thinks you've influenced me in some way and he thinks it's your fault"

"Darlin'..." he tried to call you and you kept your eyes on the ground.

Hobie said nothing, but looked at you as if he wasn't surprised at all by your words.

"But i know you had nothing to do with it, Hobie. And i'm sorry Miguel thinks that about you. But maybe he and the others are right. Do you think… Would it be better if i stopped being Spiderwoman?"

Hobie's eyes widened slightly and you bit your lower lip, closing your eyes.

"Y/n, sweetheart. Look at me" he said and after a few seconds you obeyed, reopening your eyes to look at him. "Listen to me, you can't stop being Spiderwoman. Your universe needs you. You're an important part of the Spider Society, you can't abandon us"

"But Miguel-"

"Miguel is like a father to you, everyone knows that. He doesn't hate you luv, he could never do that. He didn't kick you out, he just wants you to take some time to think about yourself mh? You're sick, so you just need to rest a little from work. He does it to protect you"

You shook your head slightly.

"What if he's just doing it to protect you all from me? You know, to make sure i don't cause more trouble"

Hobie gave you a small smile.

"We don't need to be protected by you, because you don't bring trouble. You just had a rough day, aye?" he asked, tilting his head and you shrugged, still not entirely convinced.

Hobie sighed softly and took your hands, bringing them to his lips to cover your fingers with little kisses.

"Gwen's fine. You're fine. We're all fine, aren't we? This is all that matters when you're on a mission. And you'll see that everything will work out with Miguel too, 'kay?" he said, looking at you with hopeful eyes and you nodded slowly.

Hobie reached out to your face, caressing your cheek with a knuckle.

"Now, you wanna give me a nice smile? You know i don't like to see you sad, come on"

You felt a smile escape at your control, not resisting his words.

“And there it is” he exclaimed, causing you to chuckle softly.

Hobie stood up on his legs and looked down at you as you leaned forward, burying your face into his abdomen, hugging him around the waist.

"My Spiderwoman. You're the strongest and bravest of them all, you don't have to care what anyone else thinks. And you're not a disappointment, neither to Miguel nor to me. Okay?" he said, stroking the back of your head with one hand.

"Mh-hm" you nodded against him.

You were silent for a few seconds until Hobie heard you mumble something into his jacket.

"What was that, luv?" he asked.

You turned your face away, finally looking at him with a sincere smile, the real smile he had fallen in love with.

"Thank you Hobie. I don't know what i would do without you"

Hobie smiled back, leaning in to give you a long kiss on the lips.

"Hey, that's what i'm for, isn't it? Otherwise you would never have given me permission to sneak into your house at will"

You nodded with a chuckle and Hobie grabbed your hand, forcing you to your feet.

"Now do you really feel better? Can i do something for you?" he asked thoughtfully, stroking your hand with his thumb.

You thought about it for a few seconds, then nodded.

"You've done so much for me already, Hobie. But if you could let me hear you play your guitar for a few minutes, you'd make me really happy. Please?"

Hobie nodded almost immediately, turning to retrieve his guitar with one arm while the other wrapped around your shoulders, pulling you against his body.

"Anythin' you want, luv'" he replied, as you walked towards the bedroom together.

"Hey Hobie?" you called him, squeezing his hand. “You are the best hugger ever, you know?”

Hobie smirked and gave you a quick kiss on the forehead.

"Just for you darlin'"
