[flipfliqyaoi]

i feel like while they would eventually get along (and maybe crossover into yaoi) for a long while (im talking like for the timespan of the regular episodes bc im insane) theyd see each other as like. ok fliq would see flippy kind of like THIS IS THE HOST. HOST IS KINDA DUMB. MORE IMPORTANTLY HOST IS DEFENSELESS. I HAVE TO BE HIS DEFENSE WHY IS HE FRATERNIZING WITH THE ENEMY and flippy would see fliq like a big, insufficiently trained guard dog of sorts that he has to keep trying to reign in but it fails more often than not. ofc theyd be able to communicate somewhere down the line (maybe after double whammy. i dont exactly see the series linearly) and then Hey, maybe he's not so bad also what do you mean i've been killing the same 18 people this whole time. idk i think they both deserve to heal from the regiment (because anyone should be able to) and still gnaw on each other (because its funny)

👀REAL!!!! The world needs to hear this out NOW

I love your rant I love any idea that includes them forming communication and like finally becoming better versions of themselves and understanding each other at last - after all they've withstood. They deserve it they deserve a happy ending Mondo should take notes and just start a whole spinoff series of just these bears life that eventually turn into yaoi couples. yeah 👍

I feel like post-therapy Fliq would just lowkey sit there in sort of a...... reverse... reality shattering disbelief for a while (since he was in delusion prior to getting help. So like, the reverse would be realizing he's been wrong for however long and that he um. was delusional, and reality hit him like a trainwreck. yea !!) he'd have a super hard time coming to terms and accepting that truth imo. PLUS Considering he's never known how to be "peaceful, civil" or knows how to "be nice and just relax" because that concept is extremely foreign to him. Literally not a thing that even crosses his mind. He definitely gets told a lot to speak quieter because he's used to using a loud projecting voice to speak to people. (If you're a MLP fan it's basically like that one scene where princess Luna arrives at Halloween and everyone keeps being scared of her because of her bad reputation and her royal voice. wait i kinda wanna draw that now)

It would take a lot of building trust and communication for him to form a bond with any of the friends that the Host had made, as they all just know him as some scary bloodthirsty monster that wants to hurt ppl and he's like No that's not how it is at all!! Bc yk he hurts people for a reason and the reason was that he thought they were urm. Enemies that wanted to hurt him! So basically he thought he was just trying to protect himself this entire time </3 I also think he'd struggle with instinctively throwing literal punches at anyone who physically taps his shoulder unexpectedly. Like he flinches BAD and immediately starts jumping the person until he realizes and is like Oh mb gang....... LOL.

Them healing together and Fliq learning to befriend people is such a yappable concept ITS SSSOO SILLYYY!!! ITS SO SILLY my sillybear s

[iheartgaykey]

HEY ELLIE :D I wanted to stop by and say how much you really mean to me and how thankful I am to have gotten to meet someone who is very arguably inspiring to me in several ways. I've been thinking about your AU so much lately it's during my weird moments I'm thinking of Ron and Lucid "What would they do in this scenario" PLEASE. I don't think you realize how much you matter to me in general even if it sounds super cliche and corny 😭 Sort of taking the opportunity to ask you now if there's ANYTHING you'd like to share with me? It can be art, oc lore, dhmis related content.. EVEN OTHER FANDOMS!! FEEL FREE TO JUST TAKE THE TIME TO RAMBLE IF YOU REALLY WANT TO... I DON'T MIND HOW MUCH YOU SHARE EITHER I love you!!!! /p Keep your chin up! I'll always be here if you need me (SORRY THIS INBOX CAME OUT OF NOWHERE SOBS)

DOLL HELLO DOLL OMGGODNJSMISFJJ HIHIHI SINCE YOURE HERE I MIGHT AS WELL GIVE YOU A BIG RAMBLE BC I DO HAVE ALOT TO SAY ACTUALLY… ESSAY INCOMING !!!!

YOUVE GOT ME THINKING ABT DHMIS AGAIN THO N I DO HAVE A BIG DEVELOPMENT THING COMING UP PRETTY SOON FOR LOCKED UP!!! Lennon is still being designed + I’ve been making tons of different versions of him w different outfits n hair n loads of fun stuff but my most recent stuffs is on whiteboard… im revisiting most of the whiteboard concepts from forever ago n basing my designs on that :D plus Aaron is getting a minor little redesign (giving him some more intricate details and going more in-depth with some of his already existing details) IM ACTUALLY TRYING TO PUT MORE SYMBOLISM INTO SOME OF THESE GUYS. AARONS NECK CLAMP THING IS GONNA COME BACK INTO PLAY FULL SWING GAHHH (speaking of Aaron’s neck clamp thing! I made a Kandi version of it. Wearing it as I type this hhhhhhhhh) I have a base for everyone (mostly everyone) doodled up on whiteboard.i just need to put it to use !! Which reminds me all of the teachers canonically have like.. Barbie doll bodies hee haw

More on Lennon though!! I’m basing him mostly on the interaction he had with Yellow in the Death episode! He’s very soft-spoken and doesn’t know what the fuck is going on most of the time, he is one of the most mindless puppets out of the teachers (is it even SURPRISING that Ron would like him.) but most of his fucked-up-ness is because he started glitching out after Red messed with the machine 😔

ALSO LUCID HAS BEEN ON THE MIND SM FOR ME? Aaron n Lucid interactions need to happen hello!!!! (They would try to kill eachother) as far as I can tell the average conversation between them would be mostly insults and annoyed scoffs!! They hate eachother and I love that for them ❤️ (their dynamic would certainly be something strange? Aaron is EXTREMELY cocky and I doubt he would give a single fuck whether Lucid is mentally OK or not? Although Lucid seems to want for nobody to gaf sooo?????) (And while I'm on the topic Lucid and Lennon would also not get along bc Len acts really fucking stupid and I kind of doubt Lucid would be able to stand him 💀)

EITHER WAY MORE LUCID IN LOCKED UP STUFF IS DEFINITELY HAPPENING SOON <3 I REALLY LIKED HOW I RENDERED MY ELLIE IN THE REAL DRAWING SO I HAVE TONS OF MOTIVATION TO DOODLE

I'm also really into Dandys world? (LIKE I HAVENT TALKED ABOUT THIS ENOUGH) and besides from my dhmis designs n such I'm also redesigning all of the toons. (Cough cough rn working on Vee) GAME-WISE IVE ALSO JUST SAVED UP ENOUGH ICHOR (Ichor is the in-game currency) TO GET ASTRO WHICH IM INSANELY HAPPY ABOUT (me and a friend play literally every night AND WE HAVE THE LONG AWAITED PEBBLE AND ASTRO COMBO...) and after I get Shelly me and them are gonna get Razzle&Dazzle mastery together <3 (r&d has a very weird play style so I keep joking about getting their mastery) IM TRYING NOT TO MAKE THIS CONFUSING SO YOU UNDERSTAND? THERES ALSO A COMICON WE R GOING TO IN LIKE A MONTH AND IM WORKING ON MAKING AN ASTRO COSPLAY!!! EXPLODES IMMEDIATELY

Ohh… also music…. There are a few PARTICULAR songs I’ve had on loop for a while (nervous sweating…) I had actually kind of based my Ellie in the real drawing on the cover art for Good Enough by Kittensneeze… but mostly on Beautiful Princess Disorder? Bpd gives me some really cool imagery (js like $oulbomb) neons in particular I feel are literally the exact vibe of that song (although for calmer music it would either be grays or muted colors I love color language) the Distortionist has also been on repeat and IT.REMINDS ME OF AARON AND LUCID GET THEM OUT OF MY HEADNDUCNJDANSJS (OFF TOPIC BUT FLOWERS BY SACRISTUFF? GO LISTEN TO IT I BEG) THEY MAKE ME SO ILLLLLLL……. I HAVE A LUCID PLAYLIST IN THE MAKING HELLO IVE BEEN ADDING MUSIC TO IT FOR MONTHS NOW I JS NEED TO MAKE A COVER. WKMDJENDIAMAKAMDNEH

[thebiggestvillianslairfan]

(originally, this was one big post with all the rat king's, But i decided to split them all up into they're own posts so they all get they're own spotlight and to be easer for me, This has been in development for like 4 fucking day's i'm so happy im finally done with the first part 😭 Let's hope i didn't miss anything and it's all in order) I've finally made paper prototypes of all the rat kings, Mostly cuz I want an excuse to talk about they're lore, Keep in mind that most of these are temporary and will definitely change in the future, These drawings exist to give you an idea of what they resemble, Instead of describing they're appearances I give you a basic design, Anyway let's go! (also, This post has been in the drafts for a while, So if anything seems cluttered and contradictory, It's cuz I changed my mind halfway trough) Let's fucking GO NOW.

First up is Satan King, He is a bat rat from the cave's, Also making him the representative of all bats on Dirt, All kings represent a certain race of rat's for ULTIMATE EQUALITY (Also, In this world, Bats are the same as rats, It's like mlp logic, They're the pegasi to the rats earthpony, And i guess mice would be unicorn's?) (Also, He's lowkey a vampire! Sleeps in coffins, drinks blood, hates sunlight, Yknow, The whole nine yards) He is in charge of the military and police force (Basically protection) of Dirt (Dirt is they're home planet) He's a very...Short-tempered person, Being named after the demon of Wrath for a reason, The reason for his emotions? I have yet to decide, Maybe he feels pressure being a rat king and wants approval from his (dead) parent's? Maybe the stress is getting to him real bad? Or maybe anger issues just run in his family. I drew heavy inspiration from Roxie Richter from Scott Pilgrim (Also my voice claim for him) since, She's one of my favourite Character's writing-wise, A smaller inspiration was Blitzø from Helluva Boss. Design wise, The piercings in his ear's were designed to resemble devil horns (If you squint hard enough i guess) i also added a line onto every rat King's forehead, No real reason lore-wise, Just so i could keep track of who's oldeer and younger) As for what he'd wear, I'd imagine he'd wear like, super cute girly red clothes (Asmodeus got them for him) with armour designed into it, And probably band shirts on off-work days. Other fun facts, Satan's a landscape painter! He is a woman believe it or not (He just uses he/Him pronouns) He's a an absolute lesbian mess, He isn't used to positive attention from cute/hot women so he freaks out whenever he receives any from his wives (I should mention this now, I dunno if I mentioned this in an earlier post or not, But originally i made all the kings siblings, This has changed, They're now all in a polyamorious arranged marriage (Not a toxic one!) They're all either friend's or partners, I changed this so i could give them They're own unique childhood's and backgrounds and stuff) He is very well-versed in every weapon, Since combat is his favourite past-time. He is capable of flight, But due to his age (early 40s or smth) He doesn't do it as often anymore, Back in his prince day, He used to "Race against all the other Bats and he won everytime" (His words, Not mine) Nowadays he just drinks his [Insert Rat friendly beverage here] and reads newspapers, Out of the other King's, He's definitely the most "Evil" Like, He isn't a dictator by any means, He just...Likes violence (In a disney villian way) More than the average rat (He's the one who introduced wrestling/boxing stuff into Dirt) Anyway, What does his magical red (Yet to decide what kind of gemstones he has) eye's do? Well, They contain a toxic blood-like substance that'll burn you're skin upon touching it, Satan's preferred way of distributing it is through lacing his claws with it before clawing at someone, Though he can also release it into the air via shooting it trough his eye's. He was born on February 7th (One day I'll make rat month, year, day's)

That's all for general lore! Now as a finale, here are some Canon facts and headcanons bout him! (in this instance, Headcanon means that if it existed on Dirt, He'd partake in it)

~ He'd listen to Chappel Roan (His favourite song is Red Wine Supernova)

~ He'd love Helluva boss, His favourite Character would be Blitzo

~ His phone is those with the spiral wire (Red of course)

~ He loves chandler's

~ He loves to wear fuzzy stuff

~ He'd love Frank Sinatra (He's an old-fashioned gentleman)

~ He likes milkshakes (He and Asmodeus make them together when bonding)

~ He bakes with Beelzebub and Moss_Mary (They're bros) sometimes, They make stuff like cookies and pies

~ He drinks a lot of coffee

~ He'd love cherry Coca cola

~ His favourite candy is lollipops

~ Every year, He and Belphagor (They're friend's with benefits) deliver gifts during rat Christmas (I'm working on a rat equivalent to the winter holiday and I'll post a lore post as soon as I got it all figured out!) He dresses up as rat santa clause to deliver gifts to the children while Belphagor sneaks in gifts to the other King's without them noticing (Funded by the both of them) And no one knows it's them (Somehow)

~ He LOVES disco's, He doesn't even know why but he always joins Beelzebub (Casual Flirting with eachother at the moment) Whenever she goes out to party.

~ He likes wearing blood redlipstick, Makes him feel pretty (Asmodeus (She was arranged into the marriage very young since her siblings all DIED (Her lore wil drop later) She's basically the daughter to all the King's, Her and Satan have a father/daughter bond going on ) taught him how to apply it properly)

~ He smokes (Both steaks and ciggerates)

~ His favourite food is strawberry, He even has strawberry themed furniture (This is purely due to the ENORMOUS amount of ☆Aesthetic☆ red pictures on Pinterest being strawberries or cherries, I have Pinterest boards of all the rat kings and this guy lives, breathes and loves strawberries 💀)

~ He likes fireworks, During rat new years, he's the type to have like, 20 different mega fireworks that make those images in the sky

~ In his younger day's, He won many races and received many medals and trophies back up in the caves (The home to bat-kind)

That's all for now! Please share what you think of him and any suggestions on how I could improve his character or how I could design him :D

[uncle-dusknoir]

SHIT I forgot I should do one of those pinned posts explaining who I am. i mean probably i kinda like the mystery but eh whatever.

im Basil. unovan. she/her. Hex Maniac "curse fanatic" by circumstance.

personal curse tracker

I've got Toothpaste, he's a shiny Obstagoon and my baby boy; Thyme, that Dusknoir, my uncle; Jupetta, a Banette, Thyme's Pokemon before he turned into a Dusknoir.

There's also Skorna, the bone Runerigus. She's just a pest.

Deckard, a white-furred Zorua (NOT HISUIAN) i found in my backyard. He's baby

Mint, a Sneasel I got as a gift from a friend of mine 💜 she's very bity

I've also got a new Poryphone named Porypory. it speaks in pink, is very polite.

oh and the 19 shuppet from the halloween party

... And Bluebell! An Alolan Meowth I found in the dumpster in Alola. She's a million years old and the sweetest cat in the world

image of skorna here

image of toothpaste here (also me)

image of jupetta (mostly toothpaste tho)

image of deckard (and also me)

image of mint (and my arm)

this weird breloom someone let loose outside my house??

> ooc notes under the cut

9/15/23 updated her 'main' image to be more in line with how i draw her

subscribed blogs only dash (I'm really just putting this here for myself but if y'all need it idm)

my other pokeirl blogs are @crossbones-n-skull and @nifuunbakufuun!

join the hex maniac discord server! more info (kinda) in linked tumblr post. if the link is dead lmk ill fix it (discord added a thirty day link cap)

basil's cousin, sage, is over at @sage-the-exorcist (run by my friend, statik!) she currently has him blocked (its not working)

additional facts for my own reference:

skorna speaks in orange.

thyme speaks in green.

porypory speaks in pink.

jupetta, toothpaste, and deckard don't speak through the blog. (however, if given voice through an event, their text will be colored as seen.)

two voice claims that i'm debating (but i take suggestions)

family bibliography (books)

loose timeline

view the blog in chronological order here! (bear in mind there is quite a lot. lol)

Basil is 26 (as of nov 1st 2024). I'm (the mod) 20.

she lives in the woods around icirrus city, in an old house that she just... took. it was abandoned so what about it its hers now

thyme the dusknoir is her uncle. he did not die naturally.

jupetta the banette was her uncle's, but technically is hers now. she inexplicably knows Teleport.

skorna the runerigus isn't kept to a Pokeball, as she and Basil are literally bound to each other through possession bullshit.

back when thyme was alive, they did a LOT of travelling. she's primarily been to galar and kalos, but have stopped in every region at least once. only place they haven't been to is paldea, and that's because thyme isn't allowed in because he tried to go in the crater

thyme had a TV show.

mun is aromantic, but Basil is bisexual with a female lean

post detailing Basil and Skorna's connection

old ref image, for archival purposes:

if anyone ever wants to plot anything, feel free to dm me! I'm always down, could be fun. I just don't do "in-person" RP on Tumblr- this is strictly a social media site for the character. update- i will rarely do off-rotumblr RP, but it is not going to be frequent. all threads will be completely under readmores

note that, while Basil most likely won't be super active in high-stakes plotlines, i might have her react to some, especially if i find them interesting. she's no main character.

if you want your character to know basil out-of-rotumblr, feel free to DM me here on tumblr! my PMs, unless specified are an ooc-only zone and im always happy to chat about rp.

(however, please keep in mind that i'm really not one for small talk that doesn't have to do with rp; i have too many bad experiences with people befriending me in my PMs and then just offloading trauma. i don't shut the fuck up in discord servers where other people are though lmao.)

on that note, i do have a discord! if you wanna invite me to any servers feel free to pm me about that too!

[tetranocturne]

I've noticed you make a lot of male characters that wear female clothing or are really effeminate without there being a trans edge. I'm not accusing you of anything, I really love it, but I'm curious why that is?

YOU KNOW I THINK ABOUT THIS A LOT ACTUALLY. you don’t know what can of worms you just opened up LMAO

i often look at my characters and go ‘huh this is kinda a trend, isn’t it?’ even when i was a wee youngin, i was just so thrilled with the idea of men being effeminate, even though it was usually played for jokes wherever i saw it. the short version is that something about effeminate men just make me really happy, and the long version... 

well. it’s gonna be LONG. so please bear with me

and as a disclaimer, i don’t love gendered words like effeminate and masculine, or referring to clothes as specifically female and male, and i know ftm is an outdated term, but its just way easier to explain everything this way, so i apologize

anyways- long explanation under the cut!

looking back, i can see that a lot of that was because back in the day, male characters being super effeminate was kind of the big marker of that character being gay or trans (albeit not actual representation), and so it was 100% me exploring what sexuality and gender means to me, and i think a simple answer would be.. i’ve just clung onto it all the way into adulthood because it means something really special to me

i eventually grew older and realized that a lot of those characters i loved so much were harmful stereotypes made by cishet people so they can point and laugh, but no matter how harmful they were, characters like this still meant a lot to me because they were my first real lgbt experiences. my parents never told me anything, so these stereotypes were kind of.. all i had? so it was really hard not to latch on. like, i’ve always had male characters that dress feminine, for as long as i realized i could do that, and the idea of stopping just.. didn’t seem right, especially after i realized that i wasnt cis or straight. after that, it really clicked with me. it was self-exploration, self-expression

i didnt really get TOO many weird reactions from my friends, which i’m very thankful for, but a lot of people in my life either didnt get why i kept drawing characters like this and told me it was weird, or they very actively disliked it. it made me feel.. embarrassed i guess? ashamed? it made me only explore these things in my art, and never with myself

i’m a firm believer that your clothes don’t have gender, and that people can dress however they’d like, regardless of their gender and how they present, but as a trans man who’s been around people (including my parents) who scoff at the idea of a man in a dress... it’s just hard to give myself permission. it’s not hard to give my characters permission, though. my family still doesn’t get it, and that’s one of the reasons i don’t show them characters like.. mel, magpie, carrie, haru, estee, yoichi, or whoever else. but its safe to put them here. i can just say “heres my character” and people say “great! i love him!” without even MENTIONING that he’s wearing a dress or a crop top and it’s just such a validating experience

now, as for why the characters don’t really have a trans ‘edge’? that’s kind of tricky, because they do! along with some being nb and a few even being ftm, they’re pretty much ALL meant to be read as trans, regardless of if they’re actually trans or not

let me explain-- these characters are a piece of me, and thus, they reflect my experiences and desires. they’re meant to be seen through a trans lens without being trans. as in, despite my own desire to be physically indistinguishable from a cis man, i wouldn’t want to give up my experiences as a trans man mentally. and these characters sort of reflect that. i have a few characters who, in the contexts of their stories, are actually trans, as in being legitimately nonbinary or ftm, because those also have to do with my own experience and my pride, but for the most part? effectively ‘cis’ men with trans mentalities and experiences is just what feels the best for me to write and draw. that’s all there really is to it. it feels good to me

in my characters, i get to live out my dreams of looking cis, while maintaining trans narratives and including an important aspect of my childhood as a queer person who deeply loved characters like..... envy from fma, haku from naruto, hana from tokyo godfathers, him from ppg, jareth from labyrinth, frank-n-further from rocky horror, james from pokemon, grell from kuroshitsuji (im honest to god so fucking sorry for making you remember kuroshit), and so on so forth. no matter how harmful a lot of these characters may be as horrible gay/trans/queer stereotypes, as someone who didn’t really grow up with proper representation, they just meant a lot to me

this is all just a long-winded way of saying... it feels homey. this is what’s comfortable for me and makes me happy

[zontiky]

Okay but au where they're not all related and five is a mysterious orphan Diego keeps running into at odd hours of the night and then him just being like "fuck it he's like 13 he can't be out alone at night" and then just takes him home like a godamn stray and five is THRIVING under the positive attention he never had I beg of you please feed my soul. Also sorry if this doesn't make sense I've had 2 hours of sleep and like 8 coffees today

i think i’ve read a fic similar to this but FUCK YEAH let’s do this (sorry im so late btw i havent been feeling bullet points lately fksjdfks) ALSO HEY OP PLEASE DON’T DIE I HOPE YOU’RE OK??? 

so diego is still a cop and he’s patrolling or doing whatever it is that cops do, and then he sees a kid sitting in an alley

obviously he pulls over like “hey kid you okay?” and the kid is like “shut up go away bootlicker” and diego is instantly “okay then come on im taking you to get food”

the kid doesn’t want to go but at the same time diego can tell he knows that there’s really no better options. this child looks hungry

so the kid and diego go to griddy’s and the kid says his name is five when asked

“that’s not a name”

“is too”

diego+fam have a long history of trauma and reginald called them by number which was their birth order or something? idk OH SHIT WAIT YOU SAID NOT ALL RELATED OK OK COOL SO

luther is a mechanic who diego knows because he’s the dude who’s often the one repairing his car, they’re on pretty good terms and go out for coffee sometimes because luther hates alcohol and diego’s body is a temple so he doesn’t drink

diego is diego he’s a cop but he’s highkey broke and i really don’t know how much cops get paid? hm

ok google says from 34.6k - 89.4k a year and numbers mean nothing to me so lets say he’s just a gremlin who lives in a boiler room because it’s efficient

OR he’s still dating eudora and lives with her

you know what that’s probably the better option i’m gonna go with that. they don’t have as much childhood trauma even though none of the “siblings” come from exactly good homes? but none of them were raised by reggie mcfuckface so it’s less like,,, bad even though they’re all fucked up

WAIT DO THEY HAVE THEIR POWERS

HELL YEAH THEY HAVE THEIR POWERS

ok ok so luther is a mechanic who uses his super strength and endurance to just fucking carry cars around his garage and i know NOTHING about mechanics as a profession but but but luther is good at what he does

diego is a cop who lives with eudora and throws knives like a boss. he also throws tennis balls really hard because stabbing people on duty isn’t advised

you know what? i’m gonna say allison ISNT a movie star, shes a smaller actress with minor roles here and there because she’s a mom and spends time with claire. she doesn’t use her rumor as much because honestly she doesn’t see a reason to? like sometimes she’ll go “i heard a rumor you gave me a free shot of coffee” and like,,, that’s it shfskd

her and patrick are still divorced but that’s because they did it the healthy way. they knew they were drifting apart but instead of rumoring him they broke it off mutually and they still meet up for coffee. they’re friends ok. claire loves her parents

klaus! klaus has problems but because im a soft bitch dave is here in 2019. he’s… also a mechanic…. they all know eachother but dave knows luther and diego pretty well. luther via work and diego via luther

yes klaus! so klaus has a history of drugs and addiction, because while he wasn’t shoved into a mausoleum ghosts screaming at you all the fucking time doesn’t help with staying sober

but because he has a support network he can fall back on he’s doing well, he’s a barista in a coffee shop that allison and patrick & diego and luther frequent

shoutout to klaus

five is an orphan he’s 13 and small and kind of a genius? fuck what if as a kid five accidentally time-traveled to 2019 and thaT’S HOW HE BECAME AN ORPHAN 

galaxy brain

so five is this kid in the wrong time living on the streets not knowing how things work

i mean he does obviously because he catches on quick and he’s smart but really he doesn’t know how some shit works ok. he’s clueless when it comes to technology and pop culture and shit

ben!! ben is alive!! he’s a part time writer and a full time librarian!! he knows klaus because during his homeless days klaus stuck around the library because free bathrooms and also reading to take his mind off the ghosts. they become really close and ben gets klaus to move in with him and then he’s trying to get sober and then ben’s car crashes and that’s how they meet luther and dave OHHHH

additionally: klaus illustrates some of ben’s books because he knows how to draw yay

vanya! she’s first chair in the orchestra and she’s dating helen cho because i say so

so vanya kicks ass at violin, she’s being gay teaching lessons all that good shit what more is there to say

harold isn’t here because there was never an umbrella academy

hmmm back to the,,, actual plot,,, im sorry sksfhdjsk

SO DIEGO FINDS FIVE RIGHT

AND HE’S LIKE “oh no this child is awakening my paternal instincts oh no i have to take him home with me now”

eudora opening the door to see her husband boyfriend with an angry looking teenager at his side: dear god what did you do this time

eudora instantly bonds with five and i mean INSTANTLY like she lays eyes on him and goes “child?? small?? looks lonely?? must protect” and five looks at her like “badass looking lady she probably knows what shes doing might as well ask for info and stuff” but hes actually thinking “oh dang she looks like she knows what she’s doing RESPECT” and yeah ksdjhsdkf

then five expects them to be mean or just get tired of him and kick him out but?? they dont??? wack

diego is instantly like “kid where do you live”

‘um’

“you live somewhere right???”

‘UM’

they find out he’s legally dead and thats another can of worms entirely

so they register and foster five

diego and eudora are registered foster parents you cannot change my mind alright

then five is introduced to luther and dave, and also ben and klaus because theyre hanging around the shop bc it’s their off day

so five instantly has 4 more people giving him instant love and validation and he’s like “woah”

THEN ALLISON AND PATRICK

claire too,, claire immediately adopts five as her older brother

this entire time five is like “i can’t stay im gonna leave soon you all know this right” and eveybody is “yep ok sure” but they all know hes gonna stay

hhHHHH GAME NIGHTS

five beats everybody at scrabble

diego beats everybody at darts, even though everybody calls him out for cheating

vanya beats everybody at musical chairs. she levitates the chairs so nobody can sit down

luther beats everybody at outdoor games. do not play tag with this man you might not make it out alive

allison is the QUEEN of blurt! 

ben is so good at charades it’s unfair

klaus honestly sucks at board games, but he always wins uno and nobody knows how (its the ghosts skfhsdkf)

five is so confused because its obvious all of them are cheating but??? nobody cares?? what

“it’s because it’s fun nobody is actually upset”

whaaaaaaat

so they have to explain to him that they dont play to win they play to have fun and its just a fun thing they do to spend time together and bond

five: mind blown

THEY TAKE HIM TO AN AQUARIUM

BEN JUST CHILLS WITH THE OCTOPI THE ENTIRE TIME

FIVE BONDS WITH CRABS

THEY ALL LOVE SEALS

five gets exposed to modern culture!! klaus and ben teach him memes is what i’m saying 

five goes to school!!! he makes friends!!!! they have nice sleepovers and diego and eudora make them cookies :’)

i want to say. okay so.

reginald exists and he had made grace eariler as preparation for the children he was going to adopt, but he died before he could buy any babies

so grace exists! and!! she knows the “siblings”!!!

so five has a grandma because im not going to lie grace is basically all of their’s mom

she lives in the mansion but she can go outside and DO THINGS and she makes them COOKIES and she LOVES HER KIDS and GRANDKIDS and five ADORES her ok

basically five is happy with his pseudo family that’s it thank you for your time

wait no actually he figures out how to time travel safely and he does go back and forth

sometimes he pops in and he’s like “hey we ran out of milk” and then a second later he’s like “for the love of god wait until tomorrow to get milk dont ask why you dont wanna know” and its obvious that he came back from the future and HHHHHH YES
