#I'm using two names for them

[lazylittledragon]

[tiredandoptimistic]

Shout-out to Cassandra Clare for appreciating the intimacy of characters calling each other by their full names when everyone else uses a nickname for them

No but seriously can we talk about the horrifying tragedy of William Kaplan in the MCU?

That child died. He's dead and no one is mourning him. He died and a stranger took over his body. He died and everyone's memory of him is being replaced by a different person. His parents don't know and even when they eventually find out they'll never be able to bury their son.

Do you think they're grieving him? Do you think, on some subconscious level, they know their child is gone? Do you think they feel guilty because for all they know they're just being selfish about "William's" memory loss? Do you think they'll be able to stop loving Billy, the child they've raised for the past three years, just because he's not really William? Do you think Billy will stop loving them just because he found his "real" family?

Do you think William will ever get to have some kind of memorial?

Enough 2fords fluff for now, time to return to my degeneracy. I talk a lot of preg!Stan but I can't believe you guys stood here watching me make a fool out of myself by completely forgetting about their firstborn son/j

Also biggest shout out to my amazing friend @mirrorworldangel who reminded me of this AU and got me inspired enough to finish these doodles I started a MONTH ago. Also why is the shapeshifter so hard to draw I'm not even kidding i was physically fighting the screen at times holy shit

This started more of a silly idea of wanting to see these two interact, especially in the context where Ford and Stan are... getting there in terms of fixing their relationship. And yeah the shapeshifter is an "animal"/anomaly, but it's still a baby y'know?? And considering the most prominent figures of his life were Ford and Fiddleford at the moment, I'd feel like he confuse Stan for Ford because of their similar appearance (and also cause newborns visions are SHIT I'm not even exaggerating). So Stan, who looks likes their main caretaker and whose smell is around the shack, is immediately considered family by him.

In summary it's just me throwing motherhood at Stan with the speed of a missile. Needless to say my guy is not on board with the idea for the first hours. But listen, when the only thing you've been practically doing is preparing to care for a baby, you kinda start recognising some things – willingly or unwillingly. So yeah, Stan might as well adopt the entire forest at this point.

So he takes care of Shapey with the excuse that "he's preparing for the real deal", that he's just going to take him to Ford and never see him again. But the kid grows on him like a fungus, especially when he takes Ford's young appearance – that he later changes to look a bit like Stan too (that's their mama wether Stan wants it or not). And yeah, Stan doesn't really call Ford his "Pa" cause that's kind of tied to their father, doesn't really feel like it belongs to his brother.

And no hate to Ford, he genuinely liked Shapey too. But my guy canonically treated him like a pet and Fiddleford was too terrified to get near him, so Stan's the one teaching him how to actually behave/adapt as a human (which just hardens his resolve that Stan IS his mom/caretaker).

And considering Shapey is still learning how to shift and how to be a human, he's in the middle line of the uncanny valley. He looks like a mix of both Ford and Stan (like a fusion), the way he moved (a bit stiff and uncoordinated), his eyes flashes like a nocturnal animal and his teeth (i know he leans more towards a bug, but I gave him the teeth of a giant isopod (top teeth) and an African Bullfrog (lower teeth) – fun fact, you can hold them like a baby in the crook of your arm/elbow from how big they are!)

While Stan's on his single-mother-era, Ford and Fiddleford are almost turning the forest upside down trying to find Shapey bc what if he gets hurt or hurts someone??? They're worried the kid is on the brink of death while he's out there living his best life playing with Stan, learning how to walk and write, eating more things than canned food and having bedtime stories. So yeah when Stan finally goes to them saying "look what I found in my bed lmao" the two are almost having a stroke.

Ford just doesn't start yelling/accusing Stan of tempering with the research (we stan a king who is not accustomed to change) because 1. Shapey has a fully human appearance 2. They don't want to startle the kid and accidentally hurt Stan (even more with his current situation - the pregnancy).

Stan with messy mullet hair, that's it. Shapey kind of starts losing the shape of what he shifted after long period of hours because he's not really used to it and he's still learning about his powers (and also cause putting a kid to sleep is hard). In case you want to know Ford's internal monologue, it's just him going: "he named him after me, he still want us to be family" kind of thing.

Also sorry if this is confusing to read, I'm almost falling asleep (which is becoming a pattern whenever I post lmao) so I'm gonna dip, good night or morning whenever you are guys.

Nothing much to add, but I really want to thank you guys for all the support you've given me. It genuinely makes me happy that you guys like my silly drawings and ideas. I know that I'm not very active on the tag or on other blogs (lack of motivation and I'm shy :(( ), but I want you guys to know that I appreciate every single one of my followers, lurkers, mutuals and my amazing friends. You guys are so cool and I'm grateful for every single one of you :D 🩵

What if I told you that I've fallen?

[ID: Art of Susato Mikotoba and Haori Murasame/Rei Membami, done on a stylized background of swirling cherry blossom petals. Haori is falling backward, pulling Susato with her, so close that their noses are touching. Haori closes her eyes as she pulls off Susato’s cap, while Susato — still dressed as Ryutaro Naruhodo — looks down at her with eyes wide. The background is suffused with the faint colors of the lesbian flag. End ID]

he needed a sibling

[joyfulhottubfuntik]

While I don't mind it when Caryn is portrayed as a very affectionate and caring mother or when Shermie (if he's older) is portrayed as present in the twins' lives and trying to help them, I don't really like either of these interpretations.

Cause to me a huge part of the Stan twins' conflict, the thing that separates them a lot from Dipper and Mabel, is that they only had each other. It was just them against the world, defending each other and leaning on each other.

Like, not only were they not raised to be two separate people, they didn't even have an opportunity to escape that. And a part of why their fall out hurt both of the brothers so terribly is that it left them both completely alone, stripped of the only support system they had known

[theswedishpajas]

So I got an idea.

The Friendship of Edward VI and Barnaby Fitzpatrick

The friendship between these two young boys is quite an interesting one on the account that it can appear to be an unexpected one. Edward was the heir to the English throne, later King in his own right, while Barnaby was the eldest son of an Irish Baron, send over to England as a show of loyalty from his father. One would imagine that two boys from such differing backgrounds and sets of expectations would hardly gravitated towards each other, yet they did. One has to wonder what brought them together.

i just want to say that these two have been on my mind literally all of january. the thought of the debauchery they would indulge in. bobby and his pretty boygirlfriend. using him as a decoy in robberies, his cute lil thing an easy distraction while he takes what he needs, allowing them both to easily slip away. getting to show off his pretty baby in clubs, having a sweet little thing as his passenger princess during long drives through the dessert. a doll for him to dress up and have hanging off his arm wherever they go. anyway <3

I saw this super goofy looking whiskey glass and decided I needed Jason to give it to Harvey as a joke (Harvey thinks it's dumb, but he does take it out sometimes to use when he's having a rough one.)

[july-19th-club]

one thing about being in too much pain to uphold social niceties (period and it's a bad one) is that i did spend all day at work not only doubled over and moving at a pace the ninety year old library ladies were lapping but i was even worse than usual at tasks like Looking At People Who Are Chewing Gum and "not edging away bugeyed when a coworker stands close next to me" and of course the perennial favorite "keeping track of more than three words spoken to me in a row and responding to that" and we'll let me merely say. it is just me and that murderbot. nobody else in this whole damn library understands

[cake-chad]

Me, enjoying the return of my favourite campaign, knowing something like season one couldn't have kept going on in the same way, pleased that they found a way to pivot away from the heavy grief filled topics that it was heading towards, and that the entire cast is happy about the changes they've made
