#I'm so thankful for my found family

[narcan-necromancer]

I don't know what to do. My dad asked me to look for a white bag in his room for him and it was his fucking fix kit. 2 batu pipes. I'm not angry that he relapsed, I understand because I'm an addict too. But the fact that he asked ME to look for it for him hurts. I don't think he realized that I could easily see the contents of his bag, but, like, it was an opened FedEx package bag. I wasn't even trying to see inside, I just had to hold it by the opening to pick it up to move it.

The fact that he asked me to look for it is what pisses me off so much. It's so insulting. After everything he's put me through and everything that I've gone through because of meth, he asked me to find it. It shows me that he really doesn't respect me and that I mean so little to him that he didn't even think about how it would affect me. He had the audacity to come back to pick it up. That was my last time seeing him on this trip and he didn't hug me or tell me he loved me, he just grabbed his fucking bag and waved goodbye. I could see in his eyes that he knew that I had seen what was inside.

I didn't talk to my dad for years because of abuse that he put me through while he was using. He doesn't even remember a lot of it. I only started speaking to him again when I found out that he was in rehab in 2019. I was so proud of him. I knew he had relapsed a few times, but it was ok because I understand. But I didn't know that he has had since Michael's death and I didn't know that he was actively using again.

I can't do this again. I can't lose another parent to addiction, I can't lose another person that I love because of meth. I can't watch my dad slowly decay in front of me like Michael or my mother. I can't.

Tommy's family arc

Has anybody ever talked about how Welt is immediately the first one to jump in defense of dan heng when we ask him about the express crew?

Dan Heng was, in fact, the driest and coldest mfer you could find, I'm not going to deny that (hell, when I first started playing the game I didn't care about him in the slightest because of that). But Welt, the moment we just ask him about Dan Heng, immediately jumps onto saying that he isn't like that at all! That Dan Heng may appear cold and distant on the outside, but he's a child with a kind heart and he cares! He's just like that due to everything he's been through!

(also the way that he compared dan heng to his younger self... welt please, no more honkai impacting it out. you're making me cry.)

Welt also mentions that Dan Heng "told him he doesn't know what he's running away from, all he knew is that he had to run away". You know what that means?

That Dan Heng did talk with Welt about what he went through before the Express. Definitely not his time in the Shackling Prison, but the things that he encountered after he got exiled from the Luofu. That only proves that Dan Heng really does value Welt, he wouldn't tell something like this to anyone, so Welt must've really gained his trust somehow.

And don't get me started on how Welt says that he and Himeko will never let Dan Heng get hurt! And if anybody tries, they'll suffer their wrath! They're his biological parents, your honor. First Vidyadhara recorded to have parents.

I could yap so much more about Dan Heng's and Welt's relationship... Dan Heng really sees him as an authority figure, someone he looks up to by everything he says about him.

"Mr. Yang, could you provide your insight on this?" My guy, Mr. Yang is almost your father. He will kill everyone in the universe and then himself if even a hair falls off of your head. He is fathering so hard he is mothering.

(Himeko too, btw. I need to explain my view on Himeko's and Dan Heng's relationship as well.)

Thinking about Jesper and Nina as the last of the Crows. Thinking about Wylan, when he dies, and Inej and Kaz have gone already, and Jesper can't contain his grief. He throws himself at Nina, because she has power over the dead, doesn't she? That isn't how it works. But he isn't listening. He begs and pleads for her to bring Wylan back, to try at least—but she won't. She won't, no matter if he hates her for it, because all she can think of is the sight of Matthias and how wrong it was. How wrong to have tried to hold him back, to hold him to her.

She holds Jesper through the night as he sobs into her shoulder. She holds him tight even as he curses her. The both of them know he doesn't really mean it. They only have each other now...

But it isn't only them there.

Someone else is in the room, unseen, and he whispers into Nina's ear. Not her ear, exactly. More so her mind, but he sounds so present if she just closes her eyes. She wishes she could share this through more than translation, so Jesper would be sure... he's okay, he's okay.

He's somewhere else, but he's okay. And he loves you so much, Jes.

Her eyes are full of tears. She keeps them closed as not to let them fall. She whispers Wylan's words to Jesper. She feels him stilling in her arms and keeps on whispering until the words stop and she can't sense him anymore. He had to go, but he'll be waiting. He had to go, but you have time left. Don't rush to him. You'll have forever. It's just for now, so just be patient... you'll have forever. He'll be there waiting.

I love her so much 😂

If they separate Eddie & Venom permanently in Venom 3 I am 1000% pretending the movie didn't happen.

I do not vibe with tearing soulmates apart, I do not vibe with tearing husbands apart, I do not vibe with people who have found love through their suffering being made to lose that love and suffer more okay. Not at all and CERTAINLY not for the fate of a planet that hates them.

Eddie and Venom stay together for literally all of time in every universe and I will never accept a world where that changes. They live together or they die together. That's it. The end. Goodbye.

tell me about drawtectives. what is this little show.

oooooh my god oh my god. they are my guys. so.

drawtectives itself is a youtube series created by julia lepetit on Drawfee. it's an rpg mystery show– s1 is a murder mystery, s2 is just a mystery– that doubles as an art challenges show. she draws all of the backgrounds and npcs and most of the assets (the 'cutscenes', you could call them) and then the team gets together, knowing absolutely nothing besides what julia's asked them to prepare, and does some funky improv to create a very funky storyline.

there are 3 players and one dm; the pcs are rosé, york, and grendan/grenda/grandma/gma, and the Big NPCs are Jancy True (s1/s2) and Eugene Finch (s2) and they're, in their own words, a found family, so. beloved. their backup plan if all their jobs fail is to move out east and open a bookstore. jancy and eugene have fully accepted their titles as mom/ancestral ghost and son despite meeting each other likely once before the drawtectives dragged them together. overall though if i had to summarize, it's a bunch of friends getting together, making a bunch of puns, appreciating julia's art, and laughing together. the vibes are 10/10 so loving. in writing the transcripts i've written (Karina laughs) (Nathan laughs) (All laugh) So Many Times it's just fun.

so there's three pcs. first one we meet is gyorik 'york' rogdul, who's a half-orc come to the city to learn about his mother's culture. he is the character we have by far the most lore for– if I compiled all the lore I had about the Northern Tribes and Wild Trains, I think the document would be multiple pages. he's also illiterate, which was an interesting decision for the english major of the group to make (in other words, York Will Not Be Illiterate For Season Three bc Y'all Cannot Read) and morally gray if you think about it too hard (he killed his own brother) but yknow he's hot so it's okay. they're all hot any crimes committed are okay. he's also aroace (confirmed by the player, which is!! vibes!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TELLING ME @axolotllee!)

rosé is the Human Rogue and the youngest of the party; her main trait in s1 was Millennial and she Dealt with that. she, in contrast with York, has so little lore we are scraping the barrel. she was a thief, then left everything about that life behind and changed her name to rosé when she went to work for jancy. she lied on her resumé. she knows how to sew; she's sewn Pockets of Holding on most of her clothing. she bonded with a stray cat that lived outside her last apartment. she's three credits short of graduating college. she's, in addition to being a drawtective, jancy's intern, and cried when jancy got her a cupcake. she won't tell her best friends when her birthday is or where she goes to school or what her last name is. that's all we know about her and i love her and she could probably kill someone as she has multiple knives on her person and does not use them. she's bright and funny and can be pretty dark but really does find the humor in it which is. wonderful.

so grendan highforge starts out as The Snobby Rich Boy which. already love the trope something Always Happens To Them if they're a pc. then through s1 they make an offhand comment about a character (faucon, whose name is pronounced 'falco') and how if her name was pronounced that way it'd be grenda. faucon asks how they feel about it. they are caught very off-guard by that and then ask to be called it for the next hour or so. then the next witness calls him gma, and then grandma, and then. yeah she realizes she's genderfluid. and he uses any pronouns and has a full beard and also wears a romper and loves dogs and the player is the Most Experienced TTRPG-er so through maybe using resources a bittt grandma is the most observant character of all of them. he's also a dog walker and a lightweight and does canonically have druidic magic though that was Not Touched On Much and showed up to their first day on the job slightly stoned (they did stop doing that though.) she carries around a box to make the height difference (york is 7'. grendan is 4'. rosé is 6'. you can see the formatting issue) slightly less difficult. she doesn't know how rhinos reproduce but has had a fascination with them since a police chief said one might've committed a crime. i think they could kill someone by talking too much but they don't actually have the strength or dex to do Jack Shit.

and jancy true is the head pi (a great many of the characters are puns and i love it so much) and is there to make sure things get done and clues don't get missed. she has a cochlear implant and uses a cane and solved s1 just by Reading The Paper and hearsay. she solved about half of s2 before Someone Stopped Her. she says hello children to the drawtectives and it is such a fond thing. eugene is. a guy who i love. julia started the show thinking he would be some mysterious character to join them and then made the wonderful improv decision– avoiding having to do npc-npc conversation– of saying 'yeah eugene is spinning a camera on its stand' and rosé just says so gleefully. 'guys. i think he's stupid.' and he became their son. his character is a lot of The Plot of s2 so i don't want to get into it too much but. jancy and eugene my beloved.

they're just. such a family. to quote nathan (grenda's Player) from the s2 talkback: "That's one of my favorite things about this show, is we came in with these vague ideas for characters, and just playing them with each other, they became friends and became better people as a result of knowing each other and solving mysteries. ... Like, we all kind of independently made our characters people that either were distant from their families or, you know, just had tenuous connections to other stuff, and so these are, like, the realest connections they have in their lives."

and then karina (rosé) about 10 seconds later: "Yeah, we love a found family where they bond over just being the worst."

god. them. they're chaotic and loud and feel very real to me. they have excitement and are pretty bad at social cues but they love each other and want to die together because they would hate too much to be separated. i could articulate this better but it's one in the morning and they mean a great deal to me.

remember to drink water and have a good day :)

i failed both I'm sorry anon

[jessicas-pi]

it's actually, genuinely, honestly hilarious that in a fandom where popular ships include characters who are biologically related, characters with a 10+ year age gap who met when one was a teenager or even a child, and characters who have tried to kill each other, people hate on a friends-to-lovers ship with a <2 year age gap where the characters have a deep emotional bond and plenty of romantic subtext, because "they're siblings". my brother in the force they are literally not.

Oof, sorry you had to deal with that. It's never fun to read a story that makes you cry at the end. Except /maybe/ if your crying out of happiness. Hopefully, you'll remember to to exclude that tag next time?

The plot was so interesting, though, I couldn't stop reading it ksfkhsdfhaghrts. Despite the glaring warnings, I convinced myself it would end well or that a side character would die instead of the main. Alas, I was still so shocked lol

Honestly, I often cry over stories. I remember one time my sister saw me sobbing with tears streaming down my face while trying to finish the last paragraph of the story I was reading on my phone lol. She was so confused but also thought it was the funniest thing when I tried to explain the plot, all while shoving tissues in my face.

To this day, it's one of my favourite fics. One of the main characters died at the end, but it was so natural and well-written, I was ready to accept all the feels.

But the one I read the other day? It hit me like a truck because the mcd came out of nowhere and I didn't expect the story to end so abruptly. There was no closure, just 'BOOM character died you can close the tab now', though it tragically made sense for the plot.

So yes, I will remember to watch for the tags in the future or at least mentally prepare myself for it. The whiplash wasn't worth it at all. Especially when I had to focus five minutes later on learning about photons and wavelengths for chemistry class 😂😂😂

Aaaaaaah~ you guys are spoiling me! Letting me talk about my stinky! Imma kiss you.

💎 - Chosen family (including warband)

Jean's bio family is sort of lost to her. Besides her mom and dad, she didn't really have anyone else. So that means she values friendship to the point that she considers most of her close friends' family!

For the Canon part, it's the Marsh family that she's the closest too. First it starts with Stan, then Sharon, eventually Shelly when she's older. It takes her a bit to warm up to Shelly, mostly because she's afraid of her.

Unfortunately(?), she never really warms up to Randy. I know I've said in the past he's probably the only person she's gotten angry with, but most of that stems from her need to protect her little family. This group of people who love her for her.

Of course she cares a lot about the Broflovski family. I've had thoughts about them inviting her over for the holiday like the Jewish New Year! Sheila probably taking pity on the poor girl and how she can't cook to save her life, trying so desperately to teach her something.

She adores Ike with all her heart. As far as she's concerned, that kid is the coolest kid in South Park!

As for Gerald, honestly, I hate to say it, she probably doesn't get along with him too much either. As she gets older and more emotionally mature, the more she sees how he's kind of pushed that "Suck it up and get over it" mentality onto Kyle and Ike; that doesn't sit very well with her.

And she'd never forget about Kenny. Kenster holds a special place in her heart too. Him, his brother, and his sister will always have a place with her should they need it. What's the point of having a big house to yourself if you can't hide your friends away in it! I can almost see her inviting Kenny and Karen to move in with her when they're in their last year of high-school, letting Karen stay longer!

I don't think I need to talk too much about how she feels about his parents. I think she avoids them because she knows she'll get into it with both of them.

📎 - Siblings/close family

Sooooo for a hot moment there, I thought about giving Jean a twin. His name would also be Jehan, but he'd call himself Jean (like the French name). It stemmed from a drawing I did where I gender-bent Jean. (See how this gets confusing, they're assholes.)

But uh...honestly? It kinda got rid of her character development.

Jean's story is about growing up and understanding that change will happen with or without you. That sometimes the people you love will leave, and you've gotta accept that. That it doesn't mean they're gone forever, but it's your job to emotionally grow!

That her struggles come from the fact that she doesn't want to be alone. That she doesn't want to mess up and lose it all again.

Jehan kinda...got in the way of that. So he's forever banished to the:

"Hey maybe one day I'll make a comic where some real South Park shinangens happen and I'll have Male!Jean appear!"

Other than that, she sees Stan as her brother! And Sharon as her mother!

so a while ago i made my alarm clock a news reader and today i woke up to a man saying ''news has just broken that liam payne aged 31 has died, falling from a balcony in buenos aires'' right next to my ear

fucking horrifying, i've never woken up that fast
