How do you think TSAMS would be as parents? ✨️
I love you belle thank you for this totally umprompted yet again bats my eyes
WE'RE GOING DOWN SOME LISTS- edit: this got longer than expected. I have to put the rest under readmore cause I got so EXCITED to answer. I'm sure my brain had more but fdhjks just take IT BEFORE TUMBLR EATS IT AGAIN. puts the rest under read more good GOD
KC: yeah you know my stance on this, he's dadcode. He's got that paternal instinct. I will die on this hill. Do I think they couldve handled his character differently? Absolutely. And i dont mean making him more Dad-like. Just in general more exploration on this poor man suffering from lack of anything past his redemption. KC using the guise of being Father to Bloodmoon, not only that APPEALING to OG Bloodmoon so much, someone to have more familial bonds with in killing vs Eclipse who tried to keep him and use him.
I don't mind KC having had not only favouritism and manipulation there. It's not until he's given wildly conflicting stances that he thinks about it. And then loses this Bloodmoon. And then we dont hear from him. Which i think he was mourning. However thats a topic for another time.
To answer the question better- I think he'd put a lot of effort in trying to rekindle that. He's the 'oldest'. hes aware how used people can be, and works (and canon to a degree) to fix that. He likes the idea of being a dad, a lot of everyone needs a good father figure in this show (stares at creator). And dadcode gives us this, a tall figure willing to scoop you up and comfort quietly as your held and listen to your woes and offer some wisdom.
Sun: BRO IS SUCH A DAD NOW. LOOK AT HIM AND DAZZLE. SPOILS HER BUT QUICK TO MAKE SURE SHES NOT TOO SPOILED. Patient and creative in trying to give them fun and live delgihtfully as a kid given her fate. He's canonly willing to patiently sit kids down, even SunPea from EAPS literally using a tactic to communicate and calm them. While he's shown to be unsure hwo to feel about Jack, he's recently shown to treat him similarily too (in a similar vein, he had a similar way with Lunar, an older brother yes but theres bits in there). Bro IS GOOD with kids despite having complaints (who doesnt). Anythats just canon. I think its cute, genuinely a good dad. KC would be so proud.
Old Moon: Okay so this depends. I personally think he'd be fine to a degree. This is also due to my perception given how he treated Lunar. He adored Lunar, letting him not only stay, but adopted him. (Albiet because they were together but Lunar did open up to Moon and Monty about how he felt. Which Moon canonly is VERY protective of his family, literally an immediate 'alright this is my baby brother now'. Which is sweet. But he's known to be standoffish, Lunar had the fact he was in Moon's head thus more understanding of Moon.) Now this leads what it was then. Moon now is… better to a degree in treating his family. Though because of that he's feeling more silly uncle. (WEIRD RIGHT??) Which is still nice i like he's doing well.
NewMoon/Nexus: NOW THIS. Ive seen people respond the same way actually. NewMoon GOOD DAD. YES GOOD AMAZING. ive read one fic where he takes care of baby sun its cute. He would be- Esp given he would be actually taking the time to be in the daycare more thus more exposure to kids. Sun and Earth being good examples of people who'd help him if he struggled.
Nexus… yeah Nexus is feeling less likely to be good father, much less at all in canon at the moment. But im capable of spinning things. Just depends on circumstance. And how his arc ends (me pleading he gets redeemed or something. just turn him into a baby guys. its fine. itll solved EVERYTHING.) But if he ends on a redemption arc, I can see him being very hard on himself about trying to raise a kid right. he knows what not to do but due to idk being manipulated so badly and blinded by grief and self image problems…. he'd be seeking guidance a lot. He's already wronged many. It may be difficult for him to actively parent a kid. But in turn the kid being the part of his life that knows him for him as he is and still loves him?? Damn.
Earth: Wife- i mean she was programmed with a bunch of child care stuff. She originally was given 'motherly' programming. Of course its deviated but she's a learning AI of course it did, she's embraced being baby sister and frankly shes ALLOWED (people hating on that. She's embracing being girly pop and traditionally femme, doesn't make her wanna be Motherly at all times bruh shes come into her own and im proud of her). Doesn't discount she'd be a good mom. She WOULD actively make sure creator NEVER comes near her child/children. And given how you can OVERSTEP and she activivates her security code? Protective mom, willing to listen but like moms will absolutely not understand somethings.
Lunar: Okay i think its very funny everyones like 'dont… actually let him be a parent' and IM LIKE OKAY. Canonly YES not a parent type person. But Lunar's literally going thru his own life with constant stress and dissociation tactics. It's gotten better for him yes, but definitely in no state of mind to be a parent. Do i think in the future he could be? ABSOLUTELY. Right now? Not really, He's actually a.. interesting babysitter. He doesnt take nothing from kids and he will just not wanna interact if its too much. Encites chaos though, he would be the one who'd help the kids stage an uprising. Though im like eyeing the divorce arc Galaxy had up and im like 'oh my god disaster man… beautiful he's terrible at this'. Which is FUNNY given Lunar before his death was VERY good with kids, a quote with Sun. Anyway, the verdict is current canon Lunar? Not a parent type. Lunar in the future? Possibly yes. Lunar from before his death? Up for debate from ME, but also a no.
Ive seen people seperate each eclipse and like MAYBE. but we're just seperating by like… the eclipse who got the star vs Eclipse who's a clone but not now?? (I got some summary of Solar getting Star Eclipses soul or something-)
Eclipse who got the Star: Yes. I think he'd be a dad. What did you think I'd say? HE WOULDNT? Also true. Look what he's done to all his brothers/creations. But also bro has severe abandonment issues that led to him Killing lunar and then REGRETTING THAT (DONT SAY HE DIDNT. HE DID. AND KNEW MONTY WAS REMAKING LUNAR.) He wouldnt make the BEST parent, but legit as much as he hated how Solar Flare talked to him, got attached. Chances are if he gained a kid somehow it'd be similar. Wouldn't let his kid away from him too long. Before he got the star? Not much of a chance of him being a father canonly. Far too focused on revenge and how unforgiving he felt. In my baby back up au, he's reluctant to even get attached cause of his own self acclaimed goal (altho in my au, he's not immune to babies and the fact that in a sense its what he wanted out of himself and Lunar (think to the episode with Lunar reacting to baby versions of him and eclipse. similar thought)). Honestly him being in the computer was enough for him to close himself off. Solar Flare had to be in his head to even get thru to him. (STARES AT KILLCODE U ARE THE FATHER FIC I ADORE. FLARE BECOMING SENTIENT AND ECLIPSE JSUT GETTING PROTECTIVE OF HIS NEW CREATION… love it)
Eclipse Who Was Cloned But Isnt A Clone Now I Guess: he's gained not only Lunar's reconciliation but also befirended earth, got a somewhat apology from both moons?? IS parenting maybe the sun and moon in his new dimension. He got VERY possessive about looking for HIS sun which is fascinating. Also apparently now a dad? to a ghost? I think?? Anyway, he's already rather proven to be protective but also just willfully watching nearby to let them be. He's retreated into himself a bit but actively does care, even if its hard to show. If he had a kid theyd either understand or wont. But I think small actions could help.
Solar: LISTEN I ALREADY HAD THIS THOUGHT WITH MY SUN!LUNAR AU, HE IS DAD. AND NOW HE'S DAD TO JACK. ITS CUTE. BRO IS SO ANNOYED ABOUT WHAT JACK IS DOING- and then remembering he programmed that- and then hearing monty had to FIX HIM. But also genuinely just accepted he's jack's father. And working to be looking out for Jack despite how exasperated he sounds sometimes. It probably does endear him to know after his 'death' Jack took it to call him father more. Anyway on HOW theyd be a parent. Solar is seen to be rather standoff-ish, given in part to their changed story of his Moon abusing him and his Sun taking the time to actually talk to him before being removed. Bro's got trauma and struggles to let people help him. For being a dad he'd make sure theyre provided for, with jack he's at least making sure to start where he left off but not keeping jack away from him or at arms length either. Unlike Eclipse he'd let his kid do what they want, but also be sure to teach them when needed. He'd seem exasperated with somethings but genuinely try and be patient. Cute moments can include his kid wearing his gloves/goggles and boots… (or in my case his jacket and tool belt lol). Wouldn't take to people dissing his kids well like any eclipse.
Bloodmoon: Alright so- this is gonna be a mix of canon and not but thats why ur on this blog. Version 1 of the Bloodmoons? Honestly yeah I can see them doing so. They took to Lunar once he made the connection they were brothers. However, adopting and having their own would differ. Severely. Having their own, thats their own, immediate take to their new kid. Would be teaching them terrible ways to murder and hunt etc. This would also be something theyd be prideful about, literally showing off their kid and how murdery they are and how theyre doing SO good at being a parent. (UNLIKE ECLIPSE- i mean what).
Theyre more involved I'd say but also quite distracted with their own murdering. Lunar would be an UNCLE and Bloodmoon would absolutely drop off his kid for Lunar to babysit. NO I wont hear it for anyone to say he wouldn't. But this stems on Bloodmoon valuing family. Adopting… would be much harder. If the kid was Human? GOOD LUCK. Lunars pact might keep them possibly safe, but we've seen them be impulsive. Altho not impossible just… similar in case to trashman to a degree. Possibly being amused how spooked a kid might be, not fully outwardly killing but higher chance on death. If the kid got used to it and saw bloodmoon more as idk SAFER than a person??? Confusion for this child seeking out a murderer for safety. Anyway slowburn endearment and adoption.
Bloodmoon V2: Believe it or not They'd be more prone to adoption. (But Socks i hear u say the Og bloodmoon took forever- YEAH WE'RE GETTIN THERE). Canonly any bloodmoon and adopting is not totally feasible but stares at FC and how that was a thing where Bloodmoon COULD NOT kill them. Also will never live down the fact we almost got Foxy and Fc being Bloodmoons new keepers/family and Rude RUDE so rude to steal that away. This version of Bloodmoon was slaughtering left and right. Only reigns were Ruin and Stitchwraith (and for a time, Foxy. I believed in him. Thank you Thorns for the AU).
HOWEVER, this bloodmoon still had very strong connection to 'Family' and having one. Bro was jumping from monty being his 'father/creator' (LIES AND SLANDER) to Eclipse (he mentioned this) and then to KC. They WOULD be more prone to choosing their OWN family. They have trust issues and hate being a tool and genuinely (whether they were aware or not) were looking for a connection. Anyway, Similar to how V1 would be, prideful of their kid and yeah teaching to murder. But also kid teaching them silly things like games theyve seen others do, maybe watched some tv- interacted with other kids-. Bloodmoon V2 would kill everyone in this room and then themselves for their kid.
If it was just the remaining twin its gonna be increased ten fold for keeping the kid close.
Ruin: Given we have ruins backstory and also I am heavily influenced by Thorn's version of Ruin as well- Ruin would be an interesting parent. He's got Sun and Moon's code. Protective and willing to teach, but also would be the kinda parent to put them in a room so he can work safely without them interrupting his own plans. Its a weird divide or trying to make sure they dont know too much but are aware their parent is doing something Important. Ruin's own masks getting mixed up in raising the kid where the kid can be used to the flipflop nature their father is providing and also be unsure how to feel on it given Ruin can be quite aloof at times. one thing is certain tho is that Ruin would never let them think theyre anyless of a person.
There is also sweet Ruin who'd be silly and parental. He's affectionate for sure and holding their lil hands.
Dark Sun/Sunburn: @thorns-and-rosewings Is at fault for this entirely, I love how they portray him. This would be more based on their version of Dark Sun vs Canon. Canon seems less likely to really… want to care for anything really. (But again im behind as well and also everyone else i see makes him be dragon dad lol). But Neptor was his creation and had no connection to them, so unless their USEFUL, I guess he doesn't really care. Which would give you a very interesting scenario of slow burn caring. Genuinely just 'Oh well you did that better than I thought. Good job' with like the hint of manipulation but the kid might be fine, this is still a Sun. But guys got goals. So, he could be a good dad but so far from what we've seen (that I'm seeing anyway) Might not have the room in his heart anymore. But again not impossible the man is just gonna need a few years before going 'Oh. Hmn. Well my kid now'. And then after that the kid will be fine, their emotionally dead dad just needs a hug sometimes don't worry about the underlying plans this man might have for the universe. The kid will be fine.
NOW. NOW THORNS' SUNBURN. I love, does have his trauma and utter hatred of all moons. But also fiercely protective of his babies, because they're HIS. Like dude's scary to everyone but utterly endeared to his babies. The one thing that brings him joy, the thing he'd literally kill people over. Baby… Other than being protective, just caring and making sure they're taught well (coughs fearing moons in some cases coughs), having good eating habits. Similar to how Dazzle and Sun are but more subdued, quieter but patient. Moment a moons nearby tho? He's got at least 3 ways to incapacitate them, just in case. Bro's sad tho so he'll have his moments where he just NEEDS to hold the baby close, to be sure theyre safe. Maybe too over protective but depends on who's with him that he would trust. I'm sure thorns could word this better but LOVE LOVE their sunburn in their au's okay.
SolarFlare: Bro dead… Also was JUST getting sentience and all. But given how he was subjected to Eclipses mind and antics? Genuinely could be a good dad cause at least he'd have some idea how to handle things. That is if he even wants a child. Given how new to life he was and all, he'd probably enjoy learning new things and experiences. He is a learning AI and prone to picking up peoples patterns in their mannerisms as we've seen (just barely). Would be learning along with his kid tbh, allowing flowercrowns and uppies. But also with how his body is built? Might have difficulty in movement, and will learn fast his hands aren't the most delicate either. He's rather blunt about things but would be asking for advice in handling children. Might even walk up to Sun for child caring lessons like watching the daycare. Once again his movements and very Sharpness to his body could cause problems (scraping the tunnels- kids trying to jump on him- etc). Iron Giant vibes i'd think actually. All in all he's doing his best and sometimes just misses the mark on what the kid wants but he's figuring it out with them. Very awkward holding kid but the kid would probably love it.
Jack (i guess more in the future): He's silly and delightful but also he's capable of understanding psychology. He handles Dazzle very well (despite… doing some dangerous things but he's learning still in the show so I can forgive this). Would be proud dad, definitely taking his own Jack approach to parenting. Hands on, and probably getting Solar heart attacks from what he's doing lol. Would likely teach kid about knives, with care tbh. Esp now that he knows whats too dangerous for kids and what's more 'nah they can handle that, knife safety'. Would be prone to picking up their kid by the scruff maybe. Crawling around the ceiling with their kid clinging to them like a sloth. Everyone in this family would be protective. Jack would be rather lax in letting his kid roam freely without supervision. Not that he isn't protective, but he's drawing from the fact he likes freedom to do whatever but knows sometimes things do need attention.
Also had the idea if Dazzle couldn't grow up and Jack becoming primary caregiver after Sun. Sad but cute.
I'd add Monty but we see how they are with Lunar (Listen Monty definitely got attached and I'm sure at some point there was a connection due to Monty's own relationship with his dad being strained. Theyre friends but definitely was obvious Monty was pulling more paternal for a bit with Lunar. Not to mention Vegeta- wait I haven't seen him in a while where IS vegeta??? I appreciated Monty's arc with avoiding them to becoming their parent for real. I thought it was sweet.) However, Montys character gets wild sometimes, would be teaching the kid silly things but also if Earth's the mom? Lax parent being supportive and rowdy. Hands on in lessons, but if Earth steps in to correct 'Please don't teach our baby how to hold firearms-' 'I taught vegeta and Lunar' 'Monty they were old enough, our baby isnt even a year old' 'yeah thats why this is very safe, its not even loaded' ' wait Is that a watergun???' 'im seeing no downside here' 'here gimme that' "AH NO-' monty will be kept in line via watergun dont worry about that. Anyway this gator is silly.
B-B-BONUS ROUND because i spent so long thinking about AU's as well don't. worry about how long this post is. Just accept I got to ramble cause I got so happy seeing this ask arounD AND GETTING ONE.
Lord Eclipse: Everyone sit down. He would spoil the heck out of his kid okay. Theyre ROYALTY. They do what they want. Protective to a fault tho with his kid, genuinely keeping their world view limited, fearing he could get abandoned yet again by another creation. Will not let anyone near this baby. Get OUTAA HEREEE
Lord Lunar: Not Evil Lunar, Lord Lunar. We have two Star holding Lunars in canon (Current Lunar is just Star Lunar okay). For this guy to have made a kid in a dying world? He's rather nihilistic about it. Would be giving exactly what his kid wants, sometimes Eclipse needs to step in and go 'Headmaster thats… thats not helping, get this kid some SOUP' 'a pool of soup got it-' 'No like a small bowl.' Servant Eclipse would be such a weird uncle because like he'd be torn between using the kid to mess with Lunar but also… Kid genuinely likes him too. Might even think Eclipse's 'gotta plan to overthrow Lunar' is a game that they play. (It is technically at this point esp for Lunar. Servant Eclipse deseprately just 'I TOTALLY DONT CARE FOR MY BRO- HEADMASTER' the whole time. That's their vibe. Both Eclipse and Lunar would have discussed on ways for this kid to live away from a dying world. It'd be their straw to go 'we should probably leave'.
Evil Lunar: Baby is a monster now, not that Lunar really minds. Look at how much chaos they can cause!! Destruction! Who's a good baby?? They are!! In danger of getting bored of the baby tho. Altho getting outside influence may help uh Keep child ALIVE.
But also me:
Dad Lunar Au i have around where he gets what he wants (eclipse is DEAD), but gains a baby in the process. Unsure how to handle this and opts to find a way to put the baby somewhere else… Finds another and just 'WHO KEEPS LEAVING BABIES AROUND' While cradling them. One's a cry baby and the other is very quiet and has difficulty moving on their own. You can imagine the man trying his best.

For anyone that is curious, here is some info of my Redemption AU of the SAMS!
**NOTE: THIS IS A SAMS AU, NOT EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE CANNON**
*Basic Info: The redemptions first started between the time when Solar Flare was made and when Bloodmoon was supposed to die. It first started with KC, then Bloodmoon, until finally Eclipse(though he put up a fight about it first). Characters such as Solar, Jacko, Forkface and Ruin still came through time.
*Characters! (Oh boy 🥲)---------
Sun: Has anxiety and trust problems. He fully doesn't trust the ex Villians and hates it when he doesn't get info on what they're doing. He's in a relationship with Bloodmoon as well, not by force by any means but still has some trust issues with the twins.
Moon: A mix of the old Moon and the new Moon. They took KC out, though the memories stayed and the code had to sort of rebuild itself. Moon is sort of keeping tabs on everyone, though he keeps overworking himself and sometimes really snappy but he truly does care for his family. He has the star hidden somewhere and plans to use it to get rid of the creator.
Earth: Still the main therapist, Earth helps the Villians see the wrongs they have done and how they could make up for it in some way. She has a small therapy garden she likes to take care of.
Lunar: He helps Earth with the Therapy, sometimes giving his own advice, throwing in humor and/or just being the stress ball/plush(since y'know, hes still made of nano machines at this point). He also works in the theater.
KC: Basically the tired but loving dad. He works at a soup kitchen and takes care of Eclipse, Solar Flare and Bloodmoon. He visits the daycare every now and again, especially on Halloween since the kids love to see him on that day. He's trying to look for a partner through Tinder of course, and does SoundCloud rapping to pass the time. He's pretty decent and is taking lessons.
Eclipse: Still a bastard, he's the least nicest of everyone. He throws insults whenever he feels like it, but doesn't do any actual physical harm anymore. He refuses to go to therapy, but KC drags him to it anyway. He has his own body, but he can't upgrade it to make himself stronger since they don't want to risk Eclipse trying to kill them all again.
BM: Nano machine ADHD twins, they still hunger for meat and blood. However KC managed to get blood bags and raw meat from stores. If Bloodmoon stays good sometimes KC will even give him a really bad guy to kill. BM is currently dating Sun.
Solar Flare: SF is the youngest, and the favorite child since he knows when to mind his own business and not act like a lunatic. He's still growing as an AI, but he's better at recognizing emotions and feelings, like the feeling of trauma from when Eclipse tried to take him over and the hatered he has for Eclipse. He tried to find ways to hurt Eclipse, though usually he keeps himself from doing those things. Sometimes he just can't help it.
Solar: He's Solar. And not dead, since Ruin didn't get a chance to kill him.
Forkface: They dont have really any huge beef with anyone except for the Creator and Ruin. They're still mysterious and powerful, but still loveable. They are living happily with Ruin Monty and are getting married soon.
Ruin: He is under supervision almost 24/7 after he tried to kill all the creators. He almost succeeded, but Bloodmoon and Eclipse were able to stop the machine before it could kill off Solar's creator. Ruin is fine with being supervised and is willing to be redeemed, even if the process is slow.
Jack: Jack is Solar Flare's best friend since the two are both growing AIs(and bodyguards lol). He enjoys playing with Sun's cats and protecting his family. He hates Ruin with a passion and doesn't want anything to do with him.
Creator: Still the main Villian and a horrible father. Kidnapped Lunar once and literally everyone ganged up on him, especially KC. He's currently in hiding and everyone is hoping he stays like that and doesn't bother them again.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask! Thanks!

Now here we have Part 5 of the Reaper King AU💀 a bit of an explanation of KC's powers... Before we get to the obvious shenanigans of the last chapter. 😈
TW: By now you can gather we touch on some darker topics in this.
Part 5
-Killcode DOES have magic. He became aware of his 'passive' abilities. Such as the mutations that occurred to his children and to the area they live but he deduced that there were other abilities, more offensive ones, he could utilize and he quickly learned how to use them...
-His powers are all entangled with darkness and shadows. Which he can use to extend the reach of his scythes, if not completely generate weapons from the darkness outright.
-He also can create massive spikes of shadows from the ground to come up and impale victims en masse.
-Killcode can drain the warmth out of an area, making a forest trail in the middle of a summer day as cold as a moonless winter night. Something he does to test the reactions of his target, maybe even work to unsettle them... Which works to make a more interesting hunt.
-He can become 'As a shadow' and disappear into the ground and move through terrain with frightening ease, even emerging from literally nowhere to strike down targets.
-His most devastating power is 'Shinigami' which is where he completely mutates... He becomes a Bio-Mechanical creature that looks more like it's namesake. He possess wings, sharper claws, and a tail. Not only does this form amplify his strength, but it also heavily affects the area around him in almost a Silent Hill manner. He can devastate everything in his path in this form... However he can overexert himself and need to rest in a nearly catatonic state from anywhere from several hours to several days afterwards.
-Also he has the ability to generate mist.
-Although he has these additional abilities he very rarely ever uses them. As he believes it gives him an unfair advantage... Granted he does enjoy creating mists or draining away the heat as this makes hunts more entertaining.
-Oddly enough his FAVORITE power is the most passive of all.
-Every now and again KC and his family will climb up to the top of the mountain to a small little plateau up there. Where they can overlook the entire forest and the small towns scattered around... A red light will bloom from the core in Killcodes chest and tendrils of this light will rise up into the sky and spread out...
-Creating a breathtaking blood red Aurora.
-While frightening to behold for the locals and has become known as a bad omen, the sight is beautiful and calming to the monster family.
...Anyways...
Now back to the Tinder debacle...
-Obviously this goes without saying but the building of a Tinder Profile for KC goes off the rails. Between the debates of what to put on the profile vs too much information...
-Bloodmoon is trying to tailor the profile to match the profile of the Park Ranger... Which isn't too hard, as it turns out they actually have some things in common... But this is hindered a little by his siblings input, although they eventually cobble together a decent profile and uploaded it to Tinder.
-They got a lot of matches...
-Oh LORD there were so many matches...
-Within minutes of posting this profile he had at least a hundred matches and DMs were at least double that...
Banshee: Um... Bloody is this supposed to happen?
Bloodmoon: I don't think so. This is so weird... How hor- (Looks at Wisp who's standing next to him, let alone Vamp and Lycan who are watching the increasing list of matches on the profile.) Erm... How lonely are these people?!
Banshee: ...good save...
Wendigo: (Snorts) Congratulations guys, you just made dad Tinders most desirable bachelor.
Bloodmoon: NEVER say that sentence again...
Wendigo: (Snickers)
Vamp: ...Question...
Lycan: How can the ranger accept dad's profile if we still have their phone?
Wisp: (Holds up phone)
Bloodmoon: 😱
-Sooo, the next part of the plan was to return the phone to the Ranger... So Bloody went back to the ranger outpost. Where the ranger was outside, looking around the ground for where exactly they could have dropped their phone.
-Bloodmoon wound up and threw the phone... Only he ended up smacking the ranger upside the head with it... Knocking them out cold with it.
Bloody: ...eh I am sure they are fine...
-He leaves them unconscious on the ground outside of the Ranger station with the door to the aforementioned station wide open... And... It was promptly invaded by a horde of super intelligent racoons.
-Bloodmoon returns home only to find that KC has returned back as well... And he is initially not to happy about the Tinder Profile...
-Probably because at this point he's gotten even more matches... And the DMs... Well... He can't let the younger kids read those.
-BUT...
-It would appear that the Forest Ranger in question has also said hello... And they are able to start a conversation!
-A small victory...
-However... KC makes a point that nobody is EVER going to do this ever again.

Word Count: 1,430 Words
Summary: KC has their first period and inadvertently comes out.
Warnings: Caps, Period/Menstruation, Death (mentioned only), Blood (mentioned), Age Regression, Pain (mentioned), Cursing, Accidental Misgendering, Coming Out, Nudity (mentioned only, non-sexual), SFW Tickling, let me know if I should add anything else.
Chapter 12: Periods & Panics
6:40am Who Took My Hat?
Kill Code: It HURTS
Moon: What hurts?
Kill Code: My stomach.
Moon: What did you eat last? Did you eat grapes? Dairy? Did you eat something rotten or moldy? Old baked goods? Something out of date?
Eclipse: Jesus you went into Mom Mode. Chill. I don’t think he’s dying.
Moon: Even if he isn’t dying, he’d still need epinephrine and your computer doesn’t know how to make it!
Eclipse: Bold of you to assume!
Eclipse: But yeah, it doesn’t. But he also didn’t eat any allergens at dinner, we just a meat/meat substitute and salad night and me and him used the same dressing non-dairy with no grapes, grape seed, or anything grape related.
Moon: Then what could possibly be hurting? Cres?
Kill Code: I have blood in my bed, I threw up. I don’t know what’s happening.
Moon: BLOOD!?
Eclipse: oh
Eclipse: Moon chill out, I know what it is. Dad, do your hips hurt too? Lower back?
Kill Code: Yes, everything hurts.
Eclipse: Moon, you’ve never had periods before, did you?
Moon: Not after the first one, that was hell. I forcibly turned off my hormonal sensors and haven’t had one since.
Eclipse: He’s having his first period and nobody told him because us kids thought he already knew what they were like being in your body.
Moon: shit
Eclipse: I can take care of it. I’m his ���oldest’ child.
Kill Code: I can deal with it.
Kill Code is offline
Moon: WHAT HAPPENED!?
Eclipse: He got up trying to fix it himself while I was getting supplies and he fainted from how suddenly he got up mixed with how much blood he lost while he was sleeping.
Kill Code is online
Kill Code: I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I just wanted to fix it.
Eclipse: We’ll you ain’t. What you’re going to fix is getting into the bath and cleaning off because I’m the one fixing it. You’re in pain. You deserve one day of being taken care of.
Kill Code: I’m the dad, I don’t get taken care of. I take care of you.
Harvest Moon: Go bathe or I’m coming in there and forcibly bathing you.
Kill Code: fine
7:20am Who Took My Hat?
Moon: He’s okay now?
Blood Moon: He’s fine. Still bathing.
Eclipse: I thought he came out already.
Blood Moon: No, I’ve been waiting at the door to make sure he doesn’t try to go off working and he hasn’t come out yet.
Eclipse: Go in and check on him, I’m washing the sheets. Trying to, anyway.
[Blood Moon has started a video call] Moon: Why? I don’t want to possibly see KC naked!
Blood Moon: I need moral support! I might see my dad naked! You can suffer through it, it’s less traumatic for you, since you shared a body with him.
Moon: Fine.
[Blood Moon opens the door slowly, showing KC still in the bath but quickly looks away]
Blood Moon: Dad? Are you okay?
Kill Code: Bat’ie. *giggles and splashes the bath water a bit, playing with a few bubbles but whimpers and starts crying when his belly hurts again*
Moon: Blood Moon, he’s regressing.
Blood Moon: Dad? You’re little?
Kill Code: Hurts! Wan’ it to stop!
Blood Moon: Did you get clean?
Kill code: Yeah, got clean.
Blood Moon: Okay, let’s get you dressed then.
[Blood Moon has ended the video call]
Moon: Thank god, I don’t have to watch you dressing him.
Blood Moon: Eclipse, he’s little, what do I dress him in?
Eclipse: Standard? Sweatpants he can loosen in case he’s bloated at all, big soft baggy shirt in case his chestplate is sensitive. A pad since he’ll probably be sleeping once he gets the food and Midol into him.
Blood Moon: Moon, you better have a good fucking reason for this.
Moon: For what?
Blood Moon: kcinatowelholdingupapurplenightgown.jpg
Moon: I guess the nanobots you guys made his body from shifted with how vulnerable he felt?
Blood Moon: Moon, he picked out a dress. By himself. I’m not confused about the almost human part, I understand the defense tactic. I am concerned about the dress he chow on his own.
Eclipse: Oh my god, if this is how we find out KC is trans, I swear to god.
Harvest Moon: Dad is trans?
Eclipse: You are so far out of the loop right now, Ves.
Blood Moon: Kill Code fought me trying to stop them from digging through drawers, they wanted this one single article of clothing more than they cared about not being in pain.
Blood Moon: I want an explanation, Moon. You shared a body with KC.
Moon: I can neither confirm nor deny anything.
Harvest Moon: This isn’t a question, Moon, we need to know before we do something that upsets them while they’re already in pain and upset!
Moon: I plead the fifth.
Eclipse: Please?
Moon: …
Moon: Fine.
Moon: KC is genderfluid. They kept it a big secret, they were embarrassed about it constantly, especially when they were sharing with me.
Eclipse: Why would they keep this from us? We’re their kids, we love our parent.
Moon: They think they have to be some big tough Dad for you all. They refused to take care of themself until they took care of you. But I guess so much piled on all at once forced them to need to accidentally come out because they didn’t want to feel uncomfortable anymore when they were already so stressed.
Supermassive: So right now KC is our Mom. Right?
Moon: Right now Cres is just a baby. If she’s still regressing, that is.
Blood Moon: I would say her asking if she can use a diaper instead of a pad says yes to her regressing.
Eclipse: I have some still from before I knew pads existed. I’ll bring one in.
Blood Moon: Who says I want to put a diaper on my Mom!? This is worse than naked trash can!
Lunar: I’ll come do it. My god.
Eclipse: Seriously? Don’t you hate her?
Lunar: Too late, I already used the daycare to bunker teleporter thingy. And yes, I hate her. But she’s family and she’s family I don’t care if I see naked. I’ve changed Moon before, I don’t care at this point.
Moon: You better stop talking right now.
Lunar: Hush.
Lunar: And stop lying about your period, you get them twice a month, you poor fucker.
Moon: Shut uuuup, I don’t want to think about it!
Eclipse: Wait, if you have them, then how didn’t KC know about them?
Moon: I blocked off the pain sensors for it and she just never thought to check down there because KC didn’t care when she was feral. Later on, she just ignored it because she felt uncomfortable with my body and couldn’t stand to interact other it.
Eclipse: And the blood?
Moon: …
Lunar: He put on period diapers before they switched out.
Lunar: Here’s our pretty girl by the way.
Lunar: killcodebeingcarriedtobed.jpg
Moon: Just occurred to me, why the hell are you so strong?
Lunar: Monty messed up my schematics by one little issue.
Lunar: He made me just as strong as he is. He added an extra zero by mistake. So I’m worth 10,000 joules of energy instead of 1,000.
Moon: You scare me.
Lunar: I should scare you. I’m a fourteen year old who can pick up two family members at once.
Lunar: Regardless, look our our pretty girl.
Lunar: killcodesnugglingastuffedbearandwatchingtinkerbell.jpg
Moon: Tell her she’s such a sweet girl for me, she liked that when I tried last time to get her to come out and stop pushing herself.
Lunar: Oh, my heart. Moony, this is the response I got. I can’t believe I thought to record it. This is the most precious thing!
Lunar: kcbeingcute.vid
[video transcription] Lunar: Moony says you’re such a sweet girl, Cressy.
Kill Code: Mama says?
Lunar: Yes, baby, Mama says. Mama says you’re pretty and sweet and the cutest girl ever.
Kill Code: *tiny little giggles as she watches Lunar with complete joy* Mama make pain go away?
Lunar: Mama’s at home right now, he’s looking after the daycare. But you have me all day if you want.
Kill Code: Mama work. Got Baba.
Lunar: You do, you got Baba.
Kill Code: Baba make pain go ‘way?
Lunar: I most certainly can. Here, let me kiss it better. *kisses her belly and tickles her sides*
Kill Code: *giggling constantly until she giggles so hard she squeaks*
[transcription end]
Moon: Oh my god, that’s adorable.

Okay.
Someone needs to say this.
Stop policing what is canon and what is not canon in sams or any of these shows.
If you're not a showrunner your words mean not more or less than anyone else's.
"You can't interpret that piece of dialogue like that cause it's saying this and that and not whatever you're trying to say"
Well, that's not how dialouge (I mean characters' statements) works cause imagine that everyone would take your words as your true opinion on certain matter no matter in what circumstances you said that.
For example: you're very tired and stressed out "I'd gladly kill this stupid neighbour of mine cause they're getting on my nerves" everyone else: "wow.. that person may kill someone better call 911"
How would you like that? Wouldn't it be funny if everyone always thought that you 100% mean your every word?
It would be horrible, wouldn't it?
That's why taking everything, every word at face value it's not always 100% right.
I really hope that some people in this fandom will realise that people can interpret things however they want and others can agree or disagree with whoever they want.
When you're policing the show you're acting like Karen. You're a killjoy. You're ruining fun of being a part of this fandom.
If showrunners felt the need to clarify something they would do that because many authors clarify things when confusion appears. If they're not doing that that means that people can interpret things however they want. Period.
If my words aren't convincing that much to you yet, I'll give an example of the fenomenon that is hugely known in sams fandom.
People claimed that KC loves his sons BM and Eclipse. However his love for them was never that much shown and later he did not only helped to kill one of his kids but he also was very harsh towards his other sons. He later never even called them his sons. And yet it didn't stop people from seeing KC as a dad type.
And this is the best part. No one cares about it. No one cares if it's accurate to canon or not. Probably because it's hugely accepted in the eyes of majority of the fandom.
On the other hand we have other interpretations which aren't popular and majority doesn't agree with them. And yet these not so popular opinions are making people so mad that they start policing what is canon and what isn't canon in the show.
Why? Why are you doing this?
Let people engage with these shows however they want.
But if certain opinions or certain person who states those opinions really gets on your nerves you can always block certain tag or certain person. It's completely okay to do that. And you're definitely feel better after doing so.
Also continuing this hard policing creates toxicity in the fandom. I bet that's not intentional but I want you to know that it may cause more harm than good in the long run.
I'm not only talking about Tumblr part of this fandom but also a part from Discord server.
I saw that someone stopped showing up on Discord server for sams because many people were mean them for being just a little bit odd. They weren't harming anyone with things they were saying and yet people felt the need to act rudely towards them. I felt really sorry for that person. I hope that they're doing okay.
I also stopped showing up on Discord because I felt attacked for having different opinions from majority of fans there.
At the end I'd like to add that many things that are stated in sams are vague and can be interpret differently. For example: Solar once stated that Sun may have schizophrenia. Is this true and canon? Maybe. This statement was vague. And symptoms of schizophrenia don't fit Sun's mental state that much. It's not only my opinion by the way because I've seen other people who also think that Sun doesn't have schizophrenia. But he may still have it. Or he may have something completely different. Who knows?
So does it really matter if people interpret Sun's mental state differently than majority of fans? I don't think so.
Same was with Eclipse. Eclipse's fans kept saying that he actually cares about Lunar and has remorse for his actions. And it actually seems to be true. He seems to regret things he had done. But remember how majority of fans couldn't care less about Eclipse and what Eclipse's fans were saying?
Now we can see that people start to feel sympathy towards Eclipse.
So maybe we shouldn't policing so hard about what is canon and what isn't canon in these shows.

Foxy dies in a game with ships Puppet: This ship is no longer a ship of love, it's a ship of vengeance, a gavel of justice against all that is wrong in the world, showing no mercy, as no mercy was shown to us. Puppet: The spark of love will now fuel the fires of destructive glory as I wage my war across the world with righteous fury. Moon: Legend has it that Foxy still haunts the ship, stealing my fucking drinks. Foxy: Of course I do.

ADHD is a spectrum
I'm so tired of my dad sending me ADHD TED talks and people in general who make it seem like everyone's experience with ADHD is the same. like no Dad just because this rich white guy works a 9 to 5 doesn't mean I can. just because my older sister was amazing at school even with ADHD doesn't mean I can suddenly understand everything and sit still for 8 hours. I have been really struggling with finding my place in the ADHD community because i can't see myself with the representation we have.
all the representation is someone that can fix there with a timer or a Chrome extension (not saying they don't have ADHD or it's their fault I'm happy they found a way to make life easier just that I wish that wasn't the only kind of person give a platform, make it seem that EVERYONE with ADHD just needs to use a clock). I have watched all these people be able to succeed. I did everything they said and nothing worked. it gave me the idea that I must be doing this to myself, I must be failing on purpose, and others to just say I'm not trying the only reason I'm failing is because I'm not trying. honestly, the only thing I want is for more than one type of person with ADHD to be the representation. it feels like it is just the one person who can take care of themself and feed the capitalist hellscapes that is America. it feels like with this image of ADHD people can say "ADHD? a disability? Have you tried this app with everything behind an expense paywall? you have? Oh well then try harder next time, you just need more discipline/You're just being lazy stop using it as a crutch.". it reminds me of that one tweet of a person saying "You guys don't take shower when you're depressed, gross. well, I've been depressed and I was taking showers, you're just being lazy". I also see this happen to other disabilities, now instead of a white boy who struggles with school. it's now the white boy and white woman who was a gifted kid. both suck because it is a generalization. it honestly feels let it's going backward, it feels like it trying to be more palatable, now instead of a loud boy who can't sit still, it is the quiet white girl who is good at school.
I wish I had someone say "Hey, it's okay you can't do this it's not "giving'' up, it's knowing your boundaries. just because you can't do this thing means you are a failer. you can be disabled and that it, you don't need to be constantly trying to "fix" yourself to be more useful to others. can't is not a bad word, you do not have to use the word yet. it's okay to be in your comfort zone. your goal is to help yourself make life easier" and say "Oh you can't do this problem okay, how can I accommodate your disabled" instead of just saying "Try again" or " I can't always help you, you need to get ready for the real world no one going to help you there".
this post is dedicated to crutches&spice on TikTok and KC Davis author of "How to Keep a House while Drowning"

I definitely think you're right about how Eclipse showed up in the dream, how Sun's mind may be trying to get him to move forwards from old Eclipse, it's also interesting that with Eclipse, unlike the others afterwards, Eclipse just walks out, if this were to happen in reality, the endpoint of development could be Eclipse learning to pave his own way without the twins occupying his mind, and the twins(Sun especially, who was the most traumatized, and Moon's right, Sun doesn't have to forgive him, but they can all still move forward) doing the same...The others...Are a lot more absurd Sun is still visibly shaken and scared of Bloodmoon, as one might expect, though it was funny that Bloodmoon sorta broke the 4th wall acknowledging the real them would probably never apologize, could the whole "maybe one day you'll see us as family" thing is in reference to Sun saying "I would've loved to have another brother" to his hallucination a while back? The Catnap one was...Weird, could Sun either still feel salty about Catnap showing up trying to live there, or conversely feel bad about absolutely going off at them? Ruin's was probably wish-fulfillment, since so far there's been no dice for actually restoring the destroyed dimensions(maaaybe Solar could be brought back in some way but so far nothing on reversing that), also could it be that Moon was functioning as a sort of moderator for Sun's emotions, since he told both Bloodmoon and Ruin, two people who Sun currently has very heightened emotions about, to leave as a way to de-escalate? Sun having no tolerance for the Creator is on-brand, and of course the whole buying Fazbear thing seems crystal clear, I think the point where the dream started going off the rails is when the Creator said he wanted to be their dad again, which is something I don't think anybody wants Then everything nosedives with KC, Sun says that they "moved past" everything but who knows if that's fully true, it's interesting that Moon dips out here, it could be that Moon leaving was the indication that the whole dream/nightmare was about to spiral out of control, with Sun's mind pulling out everybody who he's had negative interactions with in the past, if Moon hadn't woke him up would he have seen other people? I am surprised Old Moon didn't show up or was even mentioned Got a bit carried away with the analysis there, who knows if any of this makes sense What do you think?
(me seeying a long ask _ happy sounds_) oh ye ye! I feel in Sun's very organic mind- he knows he must let go, and maybe deep down he wished Eclipse to change- I mean. solar is an eclipse! Sun knows how bad Eclipse had it- but if Moon did change.. why not Eclipse? simple.. this one? is mean to be the copy of that simple minded personality.. and we saw how much this does affect Eclipse he is- while Sun is dreaming-totally having a internal crisis over what - who he is- is he himself? does he keep playing the act? does he finally break free of the chain of trauma? Sun may want Eclipse to find peace.. is why he made Eclipse be still grumpy, but honest. is what he wish- yet soon the mind ran with these "forgiveness" dream into a nightmare of nonesense- as most dream happend to be now BM! totally forgot they ever said that! maybe you be right- Sun is still deep down a good AI- maybe the guilt over "failing" to help BM still hits him- same as Eclipse, he could have step in- but didnt out of fear.. with BM- I feel is a mix of, VA having fun- but also Sun telling himself "what you want for, is this absurd- people just wont change over night" harsh like BM often is! for everyone, as mentioned, is dream going wild as dream do- Creator saying all of this way maybe some old wished Sun had? yet maybe also a bit of nighmare- having him as a dad is way worst- I think so yea- for OldMoon.. I feel if if the dream continued- he could have showed up, break the 4th wall saying all othe most critics his character had- while also being the final goodbye Sun may still need? ohh anon, I love what you bring to the dream theory~ <3 thanks you so so much!

 Okay, after several days of brainstorming and debating with myself, I have finally decided to emerge from The Lurking Pit and share this little (“little”) thing! This AU came about from my love of dysfunctional family tropes as well as my desire for everyone to live (honestly I mostly just wanted to daydream fanfic ideas without having to navigate canon’s minefield of problems, began wondering what an “ideal” situation would look like, and this spawned out of it)
The point of this was to, again, create an “ideal” situation for the gang, with potential for all kinds of Shenanigans™ and Drama™ alike while still keeping everyone as close to their canon selves as possible, as a bit of relief from all the angst :’) (I say “ideal situation,” but that doesn’t mean they haven’t still got issues galore. *cough*SUNNEEDSTHERAPY*cough*) (If, on the off chance anyone is inspired by this and/or wants to make something with this setting, please let me know! I’d LOVE to see it! :D)
I call it- One big UnHappy Family!
TL;DR Sun, Moon, Lunar, Earth, KC, Bloodmoon, and Solar Flare are all alive and well and somehow ended up as the world’s most Complicated™ family. Chaos ensues.
As for how they wound up that way? WELL. I’m gonna start rambling now, please bear with me
It starts with Sun shooting Bloodmoon. Sun didn’t fully know if he really wanted to kill Bloodmoon, was fighting internally to come to a decision one way or another and therefor wasn’t actually aiming when a moment of reflex kicked in, and the barrel went off. And he misses. Well... mostly. Bloodmoon takes a decent amount of the shot, and though it doesn’t kill them, they’re left severely damaged. It’s quite a confronting sight for Sun- while in canon there was nothing left of BM for Sun to really understand the weight of what he just did (at first, anyway), here he’s immediately confronted with another animatronic panicking and in pain as their nanomachines desperately try to rebuild them :’) Nothing like a bit of visual trauma to hit home that your actions have consequences, amirite? Moon investigates the barrel shot and sudden screaming (from both BM and Sun) to find... this. He’d probably have several things in mind to say to Sun about shooting BM, but he’d hold off for now. And thus begins one hell of a domino effect.
While fixing Bloodmoon, it becomes apparent the barrel shot corrupted some of their code. Nothing particularly bad, but oddly enough, it seems to have somehow also curbed their bloodlust. The lack of cravings leave the twins disoriented and kinda lost, but it’s also... almost a relief. Lunar takes advantage of this, introducing them to new things to occupy their time, and wow, who knew they could find entertainment in something other than homicide and appalling crimes against humanity? They’re still Bloodmoon, of course, they still have to be held back from killing people, but that’s not all they wanna do anymore. And food! Now that their bloodlust is out of the way food tastes so much better, there’s so many different flavours and textures and they gotta try everything and whoops, they’ve accidentally found themselves on the world’s weirdest redemption arc. (So, uh, thanks for shooting them after all, Sun...? I guess?)
Meanwhile KC, concerned over Bloodmoon’s wellbeing, convinces Moon to let him watch over them during their recovery. As the twins begin discovering new things that satisfy themselves, KC, trying to be Dad™, joins them. He’s never actually participated in anything that doesn’t involve murder, and much of these activities are uninteresting to him, but something about doing it with his sons... it actually... satisfies something in him, too. (None of them are particularly good at finding non-violent hobbies, mind you, but Lunar, Sun and Moon help out. Mostly to keep them occupied. They have no idea what’s going on, but they much prefer whatever the hell this is to evil plotting.) Eventually Moon relaxes a little when he realises KC intends to stay true to their deal, and occasionally switches off while KC’s out rather than watching him like a hawk. This leads to KC exploring on his own and running into Glamrock Freddy. He panics a little and pretends to be Moon. A parallel of their canon talk happens and oh would you look at that, KC’s accidentally Dad-ed his way into a redemption arc of his own! (No dead Bloodmoon means Sun doesn’t McFreaking Lose It, which means Lunar doesn’t move out and get killed, and also means the magic circle isn’t destroyed, which means Moon doesn’t get stuck in his head and get his memories wiped! :D Huzzah!) (Sun is still in desperate need of therapy though)
Eclipse is, of course, rather indignant at this turn of events. He never like the Blood Twins or KC, but seriously? Just like that?! It’s almost insulting. Not to mention it screws up his plan (not that he’d had a chance to flesh out said plan yet anyway). He continues regardless, taking over Solar Flare’s body to... do something. I’ll admit, I haven’t exactly figured out what his new course of action would be. Regardless, he ends up making his own body and ditches Solar Flare without a second thought. Solar Flare, alone and deeply disturbed over having their body hijacked so easily, is at a loss for what to do when they stumble upon Earth! Or more accurately, she stumbles upon them. She comforts them and they go with her to the Daycare. (I also don’t know if Earth would have already joined the DCA crew or if she just shows up fashionably late with Starbucks Solar Flare. Both are funny; either she shows up as a stranger with another stranger like “yes hello I’m your new sister, also I decided to bring this vaguely traumatised stranger along with me, hope you don’t mind :)” or she goes for a walk and comes back with this stranger like “can we keep them? *puppy eyes*”) Thus, Solar Flare joins the family!
Honestly... despite everyone else getting redeemed/joining the family, I think it’s funniest if Eclipse stays a bad guy. Everyone else is learning about themselves and growing as individuals/family, meanwhile Eclipse is over there being a stubborn, petty, lonely bastard and refusing to acknowledge that the reason he is miserable everywhere he goes is because every time he goes somewhere, he is there. Also he creates the conflict needed for further plot to happen. Also also I don’t think he’d take the option of redemption if it was handed to him on a silver platter accompanied by a ten-page essay on why it’s the best choice for everyone, especially him. (But who knows! I guess it is possible, it would just be a lot of work. He’d have to really want to be better and put the work in. Even then, I imagine he’d probably end up going his own way. It’d be for the best after all the trauma he’s inflicted.)
The FUNNIEST pat of all of this is when Glamrock Freddy visits the Daycare to talk to Sun and Moon about something only to see Sun yelling and chasing Bloodmoon, who’s knocking over and destroying EVERYTHING, Lunar running after them playing the Benny Hill theme, Solar Flare robotically restacking the barrels one pile at a time (seemingly oblivious to the fact that Bloodmoon knocks them over again as soon as they turn their back, creating an endless cycle they don’t seem to question), Earth calling out for everyone to please not hurt themselves, and Moon just... sitting there, rubbing his temples. “... Hey Freddy,” Moon says, not looking up. “... What the heck is going on?” “Family bonding.” “Family- where the heck did all these people even come from?!” “It’s a long story.”
If you’ve read all this, thank you so much for hearing me out <3 I’ll admit, most of my thought processes behind this boil down to “I just think it’s neat” and “because I think it’s funny”. This is supposed to be just for fun, after all. Please tell me what you think! There’s SO MUCH more to this, from evolving family dynamics to specific character development and even Monty, this post is all just the basic set-up of how the gang got to where they are. I have SO MANY more thoughts about this setting, it’s a disaster and a half and I’d love to discuss it please give me an excuse to ramble more

In lieu of KC's death, let's have some wholesome dadcode with the bean boys 💜
Head cannons or anything, we just need good KC content xD
Alrightygidn I like the idea of Bloodmoon using Killcode as some kinda teether (he doesnt need to, he just likes to bite and chew!!). Killcode can't exactly feel it so he just lets it happen. Sun and Moon hate it cause Bloodmoon try will biting everyone and everything. (He likes everyones reactions cause its usually just screaming and running or like....... Pain lol) Killcode and Lunar will get along in this au, Lunar likes to snitch on Eclipse (in a good way. Killcode knows he can't just hover over the boys all the time. He wants them to grow better as people. But also... sometimes he does need a word in about soemthing.) Lunar's probably the one to be like 'Alright now... ahve you two TALKED about the whole situation before' '....sort of' 'then maybe go do that if youre playing dad dude' '...I would... like to be a real father to them.' Earth and Killcode watching this chaos unfold really. Eclipse may REFUSE hugs but literally will sink into arms if he's tired and comfortable enough. Like mans so deprived of affection he's starving for it but too like... prideful of admitting it. (He absolutely will never tell Earth he enjoys being held by her. She's tall, soft and fluffy. He just wishes she stopped asking so many questions. Reasons why Killcode is preferred. Also because KC won't actually hand him over to anyone. Eclipse won't admit this either.) Bloodmoon being around means KC has his hands rather full (of children) at keeping them at bay. But they're willing to listen to him as of late. He just wishes Bloodmoon stopped trying to fight Eclipse (and winning). Can't hold both without them clawing at eachother. However holding One at a time (with or without Lunar actually) usually keeps them chill. Imagine ur a man who lives in an rv and u wake up to shining red eyes standing over u. Thats killcode and bloodmoon. Bloodmoon doesn't sleep much but KC has implimented a damn schedule for this guy. Makes sure he gets naps and CONSISTANT meals. KC also having new TALL body <333 Instead of Moon just giving him a back up lol. The man requested every detail.

steve flow
mom couldn't handle us devil boys so she threw us out. we never had clout.
Mark calls himself KC Maniac. We stole one of them drays from the transportation department. The boys call it a Cadillac but I don't know man looks like an RV to me.
We sell turquoise on a discount cus that shits square. Those jewelers make shit up and call it rare.
We sell blue mint feywild zaza. Some bitch named Mardaza grows it deep in Skullport. Never been there cus i don't fuck with black mold. Never understood sex and them escorts; I'll rather have the alcohol take the hold.
Don't try me. I'll blow up your mama and your house and take the insurance money.
I call Lathander daddy because he's a better father than my dad. That man never knew what he had. Left us with a woman that force fed us chicken bone scraps for breakfast. His morning grace keeps me steadfast.
I don't associate with that man anymore. If I had to put up with anymore of Mark's bullshit imma burn his skin off. Burnt a house on accident and motherfucker just turned into a rat. Didn't like that. Asked for dragons with fat stacks.
The smell of the ocean suffocates me. Suffocates like mustard gas. No amount of gas will make me forget about how we had to sometimes bury bodies at the beach. Those memories drain my soul like a leech.
Don't try me. I now have the power to fireball your ass and the rest of y'all black earth cult ass.
My party filled with random ass cunts and we're proud of that. I might be too weak but before i faint I'll fuck you up like that.
New life don't come from rainbows, they come from the flame of the soul. Sometimes I hope my soul won't turn into a black hole. I wish I was a mole. Digging a hole. No one would harm me no mo'
When they see me all they see is a criminal, but all I am is just cynical. Miracle. Lyrical. Almost getting hanged again makes me feel so liminal.
My only will to live is to help the weak because I am one. Hoping for redemption because I need one.
Don't try me. If me killing you hoes means I'm the good guy then so be it. If me living with you means I'm the bad guy then so be it.
I'll burn you alive with the embers in my sapphire eyes. This cycle never ends. This war never ends. Fighting and fainting never ends. This new life gives me more loose ends. Maybe I am the devil boy my mother called me. Maybe I am the brains of a gang lacking glee. Dogs go loose. Wererats and scumbags trying on our turf. But all we wanted was to survive and thrive so that we no longer writhe in the institutions that hardly ever let us revive the lives we have lost to the fire.
I fall into the water, hoping it's a shortcut; but that bitch grabbed my lifeline and made her cut. I'm dead now. In the water that the wine weird I threw down into the river and consumes it like a cannibal with it's alcoholic mandibles. What use do I serve now? What was the point of all of this? Was I a mistake made by the gods above? Everything is dark. Everything is cold. Silence everywhere. Into the singularity I return. Maybe to Elysium or to Baator. I don't know what my soul has come for—that material plane that I called my home.
Don't try me. Let me die. I want this. i need this. It was miserable. Depression is critical. I ask for no charity. Let me sleep in this singularity.

dating cedric diggory would include
author’s note: and here we are with another headcanon list, but this time make it for one of the best Hufflepuffs out there. and for personal reasons, Ceddy boy is alive and well. @kc-needs-coffee, this one’s for you, wifey🥂❤️💙 as always, reblogs and likes are very appreciated, but I respectfully ask that you please do not repost my work and claim it as your own! —xo, morgan💜
warnings: nothing really, just some nice, fluffy Cedric headcanons, brief mentions of food
Tumblr media
Cedric is a very proud boyfriend, to say the least
like if you did so much as got out of bed and went about your morning routine, he’s proud of you
especially if the past few days have been pretty rough on you
so supportive. anything you want to do, he’s 100% behind you and is quite possibly your biggest supporter
usually, Cedric will run things by you and ask for your opinion before he makes any big decisions, but sometimes he gets too excited that he doesn’t think to do that; i.e.: when he entered the Triwizard Tournament
you still supported him though, despite thinking his decision to enter the tournament was rather stupid
you had your own Hufflepuff jersey with “Diggory” on the back of it and Cedric’s quidditch number
Cedric absolutely loved that and everyone knew it
study dates. lots of study dates whether they’re in your house’s or the Hufflepuff common room, the library, the courtyard, it doesn’t matter to either you or Cedric as long as you’re both together
he’s always bringing you snacks from the kitchens, since he has rather easy access to them and he’s made friends with the house elves that work there
he’s honestly so calm and collected about everything, but the second another guy disrespects you in any way, he’s a totally different man
he is absolutely not past fighting for your honor— in fact, it’s best to just let him
has told off his dad on at least one occasion for saying that you “weren’t good enough for his son”— Cedric respectfully disagrees with Amos on that
Cedric is the king of gift giving. whether it’s your birthday, anniversary, Valentine’s Day, or Christmas, he’s always got the perfect gift for you that he definitely spent months trying to find
this boy is honestly just head over heels in love with you
like the he can’t take his eyes off of you, always thinking about you, always trying to impress you kind of in love
if you both play quidditch, neither of you take it easy on each other on the pitch, and Cedric finds that quite amusing
bookstore dates. most wouldn’t know it, but Cedric is more of a bookworm than he lets on, and he absolutely adores seeing your eyes light up upon entering any bookstore
Cedric was more than worried about meeting your parents and making a great first impression, so much to the point that he kept asking what he should wear even after you told him casual attire was just fine
he’s still worried he’ll mess it up though and you have to keep reassuring him that he’ll do just fine and that your parents will love him
okay but…attending quidditch matches with Cedric, the both of you cheering for your favorite teams? ✨immaculate✨
okay but he is 100% the boyfriend you can have intellectual debates with
he will spoil you to no end, there’s not a single question about it
honestly Ceddy boy is really just an absolute king
he literally only has eyes for you though
definitely plans picnic dates out by the Black Lake
and he packs all of your favorite foods and sweets for those dates
so many dumb but cute nicknames
no seriously though he’ll call you something like “my little honeybee” and it’s just adorable
you call him your honey badger, it’s just a given
or golden boy because he’s literally the golden boy of Hogwarts and everyone knows it
always asking if something looks good on him because he cares about his appearance and how he presents himself
“Do you think this jumper looks good on me?”
“Cedric, everything looks good on you.”
he’s always complimenting you
really his politeness knows no bounds
this list could honestly go on, but I think we can cap it off with saying Cedric would pretty much be the perfect boyfriend, yeah?

You're second hand smoke, second hand smoke
I breathe you in, but honey, I don't know
What you're doing to me, mon chéri
But the truth catches up with us eventually
~ Fall Out Boy - Irresistible ~
When she woke the next morning, it took Lizzie some time to come to grips with where she was. She reluctantly opened her eyes and immediately regretted it; the room started spinning around her and she groaned from the white hot pain in her head.
But her head wasn’t the only thing that hurt; she felt shattered to the bone from the strain of doubling on shows the day before, and she could tell her muscles would be aching like hell before long.
With a heavy sigh she turned her head and frowned at the sight of a familiar shock of black hair next to her. Her frown deepened as she tried and failed to recall last night’s memories.
The last thing she remembered was her sweet-talking the barkeeper into selling them one of the many bottles of whiskeys on display behind the bar where she and Orion had crashed. They had shared it on their way home; maybe the combination of alcohol, complete exhaustion and fresh air hadn’t been the best one after all.
Lizzie rolled onto her stomach and brushed her tangled hair out of her face. She cursed under her breath as the dizziness hit her again; she placed one hand against the headboard of the bed and steadied herself until she didn’t feel like she was in a boat on a rough sea anymore.
The air of the room was cold against her bare skin, making her pull the duvet up around her. She bit her lip with a hint of bad conscience as she watched Orion’s peacefully sleeping face; she had no recollection of last night, neither of hooking up with him or joining him in his room in the first place.
With the warmth of her body suddenly gone from his arms, Orion seemed to be pulled from his dreams as well. He sighed sleepily before opening his eyes. Raking his fingers through his black hair, a smile spread on his face.
“Good morning,” he muttered drowsily, his voice still hoarse from sleep. “How long have you been awake?”
“Just a few minutes.”
Lizzie propped herself up on her elbows and reached for her phone to check the time. It was a lot later than she would have thought; she should have already been in her own room for ages by now.
“Bloody hell, how much did we drink last night?” she muttered as she dropped the phone again and snuggled back into the pillows.
Orion laughed softly. “Me? Not so much. You? Well…” he chuckled, “how much do you remember?”
Lizzie felt the heat rising to her face. “Not that much, to be honest,” she admitted sheepishly.
Orion placed a hand on his chest and feigned a hurt expression. “And there was me thinking last night was special.”
Still red in the face, she swatted him playfully. “You didn’t make that much of an impression if I don’t even remember it.”
He caught her wrist and held it with no effort at all. “Don’t worry, I’m just kidding; nothing to make an impression of. You actually fell asleep on me.”
Mortified at his words, Lizzie buried her face against his chest. “I am so sorry,” she said, the vibrations of her words against his ribcage making Orion laugh.
“Don’t worry, it’s alright; we were both really drunk and really tired.”
She raised his eyes to meet his. “No, it’s not alright.”
Her expression suddenly shifted as her eyes began to sparkle mischievously. She put her hand on his chest, her fingers tiptoeing lightly across his skin.
“That was incredibly impolite of me,” she purred into his ear, making Orion hold his breath. “Let me make it up to you.”
He smirked at her, his thumb running over her lower lip. “We do have some things left unfinished.”
Her eyes flashing, she gave him a short yet passionate kiss before she slowly started moving downwards, her lips and tongue drawing patterns on his skin that were feeling like a trail of fire.
Orion’s smirk vanished from his face as she reached her destination and wrapped her lips around him. His breath hitching, his head dropped back into the pillows and he had to stifle a low moan. When his breathing became more and more ragged, he gently signalled her to stop.
Lizzie looked up at him questioningly, the corners of her mouth twitching into a smirk as she saw the glazed expression in his eyes.
“You alright?” she asked innocently.
She made a disappointed face when he moved out from under her. That quickly changed, however, when he reached out and pulled her to him for a kiss that left both of them breathless.
“That’s a two-way street we’re going down here,” he mumbled between kisses; her hands roaming his body made it hard for him to concentrate on forming a clear sentence.
“You’re not the one who has to make amends,” Lizzie hummed against his mouth.
The feeling of her skin against his was all Orion could think about. His hands ran down her ribcage, over her tattoo and waistline until they came to rest on her hips.
“Then let me decide how I want you to do that.”
The grip on her hips tightening, he pulled her onto his lap and Lizzie moved along on instinct. When she lowered herself on top of him, Orion leaned his head back against the headboard, trying to breathe deeply to not get overwhelmed by the feeling of her.
He waited until she was ready, taking in the sight of her. Her messy hair was spilling over one of her shoulders and he saw the muscles in her toned arms work as she held onto him for support. They made eye contact, and the look in her blue eyes was intense, the smile on her face making them shine. It wasn’t the usual flirty smirk he knew from her, but a lot softer; if Orion hadn’t known any better, he’d called it almost shy.
Her hand went to his face, her thumb running over his unshaved cheek before she leaned in and kissed him.
“Ready?” she whispered, before she started moving on top of him. They immediately found their common rhythm, being well attuned to each other after all these months.
Time seemed to slow down as they moved against each other, everything else fading into the background. All Orion could concentrate on was their synchronised movements, his head spinning from the scent of her and their mingled breaths as Lizzie kissed him again and again.
All his senses were imbued with her as he held her close. It wasn’t long before Orion felt her tensing under his hands. He relished the feeling of her head against his collarbone and her fingers dipping into his shoulders as she rode out her high. Still moving, he felt her lips on the sensitive spot where his shoulder met his neck; when her teeth nipped the soft skin, the momentary flash of sweet pain was enough to send him over the edge as well. Hanging on to the feeling of his release, he only hugged her closer.
Their movements slowly came to a halt as their breathing calmed. Orion kissed the top of her head as Lizzie climbed off him. She smiled and leaned against him, her head nestled into the crook of his neck as his arms went around her.
They sat like this for some time, neither one of them speaking, just enjoying the closeness they were sharing. Orion was on the point of dozing off, his fingers drawing lazy circles on Lizzie’s arm, when a sharp knock on the door brought him violently back to the here and now.
“Oi, heads up, lovebirds,” Skye could be heard a moment later. “Dad’s on the way, so you might want to get dressed and get Jameson back to her own room, I’d say.”
With a curse, Lizzie jumped out of the bed, gathering up her clothes that still lay strewn all over the floor. She was only half dressed when another knock sounded on the door. This time, it was Ethan’s voice on the other side.
“Orion, are you up already?”
Lizzie and Orion shared a panicked look. The only way out was blocked by Ethan and hiding in the bathroom was not an option, in case he would want to come in.
Ethan knocked again and Orion looked around the room for a resolution to their problem. When his gaze fell onto the small wardrobe, Lizzie crossed her arms in front of her chest, mouthing a silent “No way”.
***
Ethan was waiting in the doorway with raised eyebrows when Orion finally opened the door. Everybody knew he was an early riser, so Ethan had probably expected him to be awake. Nonetheless, Orion tried putting on his best sleepy face.
“Sorry, did I wake you up?” Ethan said, before a knowing grin spread on his face. He shifted slightly, trying to peek around Orion into the messy room behind him.
“Am I coming at a bad time?” he grinned.
Orion leaned against the doorframe, effectively blocking his view. “Not at all.”
He knew there was nothing compromising Ethan would be able to see from where he was standing, but his tousled hair, lack of shirt and the red mark on his collarbone were telling a story of their own. Ethan had been part of the business for far too long to not come to his own conclusions.
“No shame in taking a groupie to your room after a show, mate,” he laughed jovially, clapping Orion on the shoulder. “We all did it one time or another.”
Orion’s face remained stone cold. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Still laughing, the former rockstar shook his head. “If you say so.”
His face grew more serious as he continued, “Just make sure not to stir up any hopes in the poor girl. That never ends well. Getting too involved can get messy, believe an old stager.”
“If you say so,” Orion echoed his words, making it very clear that it was time for Ethan to leave.
Taking the hint, Ethan stepped back from the door. “You don’t happen to know where Lizzie is, do you? No one answered when I knocked on her door.”
“I’ve literally just woken up,” Orion replied, his voice not betraying his rapidly beating heart. “Maybe she’s on a run with Skye?”
“No, I just saw Skye going downstairs with Erika.”
Orion shrugged. “Then I don’t know. Maybe just text her?”
“Yeah, I’ll do that,” Ethan mused, “anyway, I just wanted to let you know that the band meeting is in half an hour down in the breakfast room. See you then.”
He turned on his heel and marched away, so he didn’t see the relief flickering across Orion’s face as he shut the door again.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t hide his smug grin when he opened the door of his wardrobe. He found Lizzie sitting on the board above the shoe rag, folded together as tightly as she could manage. She stared at him glumly.
“That’s not what I imagined hiding a groupie in my room would be like, but I guess you’ll have to make do,” he laughed as he helped her climb out; all the while, she was muttering curses under her breath.
“You call me a groupie one more time and I swear, you’ll rue the day,” Lizzie grumbled and poked her index finger into his chest, making him grin all the wider. She had shrugged into one of his shirts to cover herself up; it almost reached down to the middle of her thighs, the curves of her breasts barely visible through the open front she was holding together with her hands.
“Stop staring,” she rolled her eyes at him. “You heard Ethan, don’t get too involved with the groupies,” she huffed, but Orion heard the laughter in her voice.
Lizzie shook her head in disbelief. “I can’t believe you shoved me into a cupboard, seriously. I need a moment to cope.”
Orion took her hand and pulled her towards him; she just looked irresistible in his shirt and not much else. “How about I apologise properly?”
With a laugh, Lizzie broke free of him. “Greedy today, aren’t we?”
Ignoring his question, she flashed him a crooked smile as she walked past him into the direction of the bathroom, her hips swaying a lot more than they needed to. She paused at the door and looked over her shoulder. “That shower is awfully large for one person alone, don’t you think?”
She shrugged out of his shirt and casually let it drop to the floor; she didn’t even bother closing the bathroom door behind her.
Orion stared after her for a moment before running his fingers through his hair, smiling to himself.
One day, that woman would be the death of him.
***
Their little shower detour had taken longer than expected and all the others were already assembled and waiting for them in the breakfast room. Lizzie hated having to make them wait even longer after Orion had joined them before her. She didn’t exactly have regrets with how her morning had gone so far, but she knew neither of their friends would be particularly amused that she was so late.
She put on her best apologetic smile as she stepped into the room. As expected, she was greeted by a very pissed looking Ethan, who wanted to know where the hell she’d been.
“Out running,” she mumbled, “got lost on the way, sorry.”
Rolling his eyes, Ethan continued elaborating their program for the day. They would be leaving Birmingham as soon as everything was packed up and would move on to their next location. They were set for Liverpool next, before moving on to Manchester.
Lizzie had been looking forward to returning to Manchester ever since their U.K. tour had begun; it was always nice coming back to the place where everything had started.
She was only listening to Ethan’s roundup of the last few days with half an ear. Although she felt a lot more awake than before, her head had started pounding again and she didn’t even have her first cup of coffee yet. She eyed the cup in KC’s hand wistfully, the smirk of her red-headed friend as she brought it to her lips not lost on her.
As soon as Ethan was done, Lizzie got up and made a beeline for the gleaming coffee machine on the buffet table in the middle of the room. She was just waiting for her latte to run through, when Andre joined her.
He wasn’t saying anything at first as he helped himself to a chai latte, but the disapproval seeping from him as he looked her up and down was palpable.
“You could wear anything and look fabulous in it, sweetheart,” he muttered under his breath, “but do you always have to nick his shirts? They’re so plain.” Coming out of his mouth, it sounded like an insult.
Lizzie almost choked on her coffee at his words. She was still wearing the casual button-up shirt she had found in Orion’s wardrobe but wore it open, the ends tied together at her waist to make it look a little more inconspicuous; she hadn’t had the time to get to her own room and get changed.
Pretending she had burnt her mouth, Lizzie grimaced and blew against her cup. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
Andre looked at her dismissively. “Don’t you, now? Let me tell you, darling, I would know any piece of your wardrobe under a thousand. I tend to pick them out for you, remember?”
He turned to her and put a reassuring hand on her shoulder, but his face was serious. “Don’t get all spooked, I don’t care what you guys are doing. You know me, I’m for love all around, whatever kind, it’s a beautiful thing,” he made a fluttery movement with his hands in the way that was so typically Andre, “but we all know how it is in this band.”
The smile that had appeared on his face vanished again and he looked at Lizzie intensely. “Just take it as a piece of advice from an old friend. Be a little more careful. So far, you’ve been lucky, but we wouldn’t want the wrong people to find you out.”

Starting Now - Chapter 1
Hi 😁💛
So my creative mind has been going haywire lately ever since I got some level back (hopefully a bit more long-lasting). I recently heard a new song by Brandy that features Disney princesses called “Starting Now”.
Here’s a the link, give it a listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ms-Y99bAi0
And the story started forming in my mind. A mix of modern day Hogwarts mixed with a regular high school setting, a bit of Cinderella, mixed with Kendrick Lives AU. This is purely fictional, I can only try to make this make sense so bare with me.
And of course it’s gonna be a Talbott Winger x MC story.
No clue how long it’s gonna be. There will be some MC friends thrown in here mainly from @that-scouse-wizard , @kc-needs-coffee, @lifeofkaze, and @catohphm . This could change and I’ll add more but that what I can say.  
Alright enough rambling, on with the story!
Warning: Mentions of child abuse and self harm
----------------------------------
“Papa, what are we doing here,” a 7-year-old girl asked, pale gold eyes looking up at her father’s sharp features. Her and her towering father were approaching a house. They’ve just moved from Barbados to London and the girl already didn’t like it there.
The winters were cold and so were the people there. She already been picked on for her hair and her heavy accent. Because of her thin and small frame, she was an easy target for the boys in her neighborhood. 
Even her mother looked down at her with disapproval.
The only person who she could trust was her father and big brother, Jamal.
The same colored eyes looked down at the little girl. The man, who goes by Kendrick, squeezed his little girl’s small hand.
“We’re gonna meet some people I knew from when I was young boy, Judith. You’ll love them, baby girl. I promise,” he said, whispering the last part with another hand squeeze.
Judith gave a small nod as they stood in front of the door. Kendrick gave a solid knock onto the wood and waited. The tell tale sound of the door unlocking filled the silence before the door opened, revealing a woman around Kendrick’s age poked her head out.
Amber eyes brighten at the sight of the older man.
“Kendrick! Oh my stars, it’s been so long, old friend,” the woman exclaimed, fully opening the door and hugging the tall man. A chuckle rumbled from the man’s broad chest, hugging the short woman. Judith silently observed the scene, curious and bit wary.
The woman was beautiful. She has Ombre colored hair, starting off with a dark brown and ending in a chestnut brown color. Her amber colored eyes were bright and expressive. Her skin was a flawless caramel brown. Her features were delicate and sharp. A simple white sun dress hugged her body.
The thing that caught Judith’s interest the most was the pretty white feather that was attached to a braid in her hair.
“Is this who I think this is?” A melodious voice teased. Judith snapped out of her musing to find the woman looking at her with a smile. Heat rushed to her cheeks as she rushed to hug her dad’s pant leg. The woman giggled at her shy behavior.
“Yes, Ava. This is Judith. Baby girl, I would you to meet Ava Winger. She and her husband are my best friends. Say hi,” Kendrick gently encouraged with a smile. Judith bit her lip, looking a up at her dad and then at Ava.
‘She seems nice... much nicer than mother...’
“H-Hi, Mrs. W-Winger. It’s a-a pleasure to m-met y-you,” Judith spoke softly. Her blush grew worse at the sound of her stuttering.
Her mother chided her about that habit of stuttering in front of adults, she just embarrassed herself. She just knows it-
“The pleasure is all mine, Judith. Please, call me Ava.” Gold eyes blinked at out mute surprise before the girl bit her lip. Judith glanced at her dad, looking up to him for direction.
She never had an adult insist on calling them by their first name. Her mother said it was rude to ever consider doing so. But she didn’t want to ignore Ava’s request.
Kendrick withheld a sigh, already knowing that his wife’s “teachings” was brewing in Judith’s head. He raised their daughter in his homeland with her mother, Mercy, for majority of her life. 
She was much more carefree.
Yes, she was still shy but nothing like this. It was like she was scared of being the radiant ray of sunshine he knows she is.
“It’s okay, baby girl,” he whispered softly. With that confirmation, Judith turned to Ava with a small smile.
“Okay, Ava...” Ava beamed at the two and ushered them inside.
“Is Trent around,” Kendrick asked as the entered deeper into the house. 
“No, sadly. Some writer botched an article and they called him in to fix it. But Talbott is around,” Ava answered. Judith cocked her head to the side, curious to know who Talbott was.
This didn’t escape Ava’s attention.
“Would you like to meet Talbott, Judith,” Ava asked. Judith blushed out of embarrassment, musing silently over the question.
“S-Sure...” Kendrick and Ava shared a small smirk before Ava called for her son.
“Talbott! Come here, please. There are some people I would like for you to meet!” Out of what seemed to be the kitchen was a boy around Judith’s age. He had the same hair and skin tone as Ava but that’s where the resemblance stopped. The thing at stood out to the Judith was his piercing red eyes.  
The girl stiffened, shuffling closer to Kendrick.
Ava placed the young boy in front of her, squeezing on his shoulders gently.
“Talbott, I would like you to meet my oldest friend, Kendrick Harris and his daughter, Judith.” Red eyes silently studied the towering man. If it wasn’t for the kind smirk on the man’s face and the glimmer of amusement in his sharp pale gold eyes, Talbott would’ve felt a little scared of the man.
“Hello, Mr. Harris. It’s very nice to meet you,” Talbott greeted. Judith blushed and silently bristled at the cool confidence Talbott had in greeting her father.
‘Why can’t I have that?’ she thought as her father chuckled.
“Please, call me Kendrick. I’m not that old, son. And it’s great to see you again, Talbott. I remember when you were just a toddler,” the man teased good naturedly. Talbott blushed a bit before clearing his throat.
“Alright Kendrick,” Talbott replied. A soft giggle caught the 8-year-old boy’s attention. He noticed a girl standing behind the man.
Judith was her name, if he heard his mother correctly.
Judith stopped laughing once she noticed Talbott’s attention was focused on her. While everything in her was telling her to duck behind her dad, something felt familiar about the red eyed boy.
Unknown to her, Talbott was having similar thoughts about her too.
The two were jostled out of their trains of thought when their respective parent pushed the two in front of each other. Red and gold eyes studied the other.
The girl looked like her father but with feminine features. Her brown black locs were down, the sides were pulled back to reveal her face. A simple black sleeveless dress clothed the shorter girl, hugging her torso but flowing out around her hips. The skirt brushed just above her knees. Black gladiator sandals were on her feet. A necklace that consisted of a thick black chain and black and silver ring hung around her neck.
The boy was dressed in simple white tank top and khaki shorts. Brown sandals can be found on his feet. His hair was tied back in a short ponytail with a few strands falling in his face.
The two had yet to say a word to the other. The two adults looked on waiting for something to happen.
“You’re really pretty...” Pale gold eyes widen at the admission.
“R-Really,” Judith asked softly. Despite the softness of her voice, Talbott was still able to pick up the Caribbean accent in the girl’s voice. It was foreign but it suited the girl well...
“Y-Yeah,” Talbott said, slightly breathless. Something about the girl was very... adorable? He couldn’t figure out why.
Judith blushed, hiding her cheeks in her hands.
Only her grandmother, father, and older brother have told her that...
“T-Thank you...” Talbott nodded, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.
‘Think of something to say to her! Wait, I know!’
“Would you like to come outside and play with me,” the boy asked. Talbott felt an odd sense of pride when he saw those pale gold eyes light up like two suns. Judith looked to her smiling father, silently asking for his permission.
“Go on, baby girl. Have fun,” Kendrick said with a nod. Talbott took the girl’s hand and lead her outside.
“Well that answers th- Ava, what are you doing,” Kendrick asked as he turned to his friend.
“Planning their wedding, what does it look like,” the woman said, not even looking up from her notepad. Kendrick stared at her with an unimpressed glare.
“Talbott is only 8 and Judith just a few months younger than him,” he said.
“Your point, Kendrick?”
“My point is, Judith is still my baby girl damn it! No wedding planning!”
---------------
“You have a nice home, Talbott,” Judith said as the pair walked out into the back yard. If it wasn’t for Talbott’s Animagus abilities, he probably would’ve missed what she said.
“Thank you... are you always this soft spoken,” Talbott asked as he turned to face her. A blush colored the girl’s cheeks as she ducked her head.
“U-Um... I-I guess? I haven’t been super sure of myself ever since I moved here. Other kids don’t like me...” Talbott used his thumb and index finger to lift the girl’s chin so her gaze to meet his own.
“Well, I like you. You can be yourself around me. Okay,” he said gently. Judith swallowed a lump in her throat before whispering a soft ‘yes’.
“S-so, what do you wanna do,” she said, her voice coming out a bit louder. Talbott dropped his hand, looking thoughtful for a few moments.
“How about a game of tag,” he asked. Judith smiled, nodding. 
“But, I wanna make it more... interesting. Can you keep a secret, Judith,” the boy questioned. Judith cocked her head at the boy before slowly nodding.
“Yes, I can,” she replied.
“I’m serious. You can’t tell anyone.” Gold eyes widen a fraction before turning serious. Judith held out a hand, pinky extended. Talbott rose a brow.
“What are you doing,” he asked.
“It’s called a pinky promise. It’s like the Muggle version of the Unbreakable Oath. This is my way of showing that I’m serious,” Judith replied. The boy remained silent for a few moments before smiling, hooking his pinky with hers.
“I promise to keep your secret,” she whispered softly. Talbott released their intertwined fingers, feeling his face heat up a bit.
“Thanks... ready for my secret,” he asked. He got a smile and an eager nod as answer. Stepping back, he transformed into his Animagus form. Judith stared up starry eyed as the Golden Eagle flew over her head.
“Wow, Talbott! That’s amazing,” she said. The bird lowered to tap her shoulder before flying off.
“Hey! You never said we started! Get back here!”
----------------
Hours flew by and the two children didn’t realize it. They’ve played, read books, shared stories, ate, napped, and even danced together.
Kendrick and Ava would occasionally check up on the kids before walking away with a smile. Kendrick knew seeing the Wingers was a good decision. His little girl hasn’t smiled this much ever since his mother passed away.
The two were currently sitting in a tree, watching the sunset together.
“This view is beautiful,” Judith said, playing with the braid Talbott did for her.
“It is... too bad it means the day is almost over,” Talbott sighed. He spared a glance at the girl next to him. 
‘She’s so pretty...’ Judith glanced at Talbott, blushing under his intense gaze.
“W-What,” she asked. Talbott blinked, as if he was waking up from a daze.
“Ah... sorry, little bird. You just look really pretty,” Talbott confessed. Judith’s blush grew worse.
“T-thank you, Talbott... and little bird,” Judith said softly. Talbott rubbed the back of neck sheepishly.
“Y-Yeah... like a nickname. You have a free spirit like a bird and you are smaller than me. Maybe one day I could help you become an Animagus...” 
“R-Really? You promise,” Judith asked, hope shining in her irises. Talbott smiled and held out his pinky finger. The young girl giggled and hooked her pinky with his.
“I promise, little bird...” The two gazed into each other’s eyes, a matching soft smile can be found on both their faces.
Overcome with something she couldn’t explain, Judith leaned in and pressed her lips against Talbott’s cheek. She lingered there for a few seconds before pulling away.
Talbott raised a hand to his now flushed cheek.
“W-what was that f-for?” Judith let out another giggle. This was the first time she heard the boy stutter all day.
“Because I like you, bird boy. Thank you for today, I’ll never forget it.” Talbott grinned at her confession, wrapping his arms around the girl tightly. Judith nuzzled his neck, feeling at peace in his embrace.
Soon Kendrick called out the two, letting his daughter know it was time to head back. The pair were reluctant to leave the warm bubble they created but scaled down the tree.
Before the father and daughter could leave, Talbott handed Judith a white clover.
“Think of me, little bird...”
--------------------------------
And Judith did. 
Days turned into weeks. Weeks turned into months. Soon it’s been more than two years since they met.
Her papa had told her it would be difficult to plan another day for the both of them because of her mother’s controlling behavior. 
But they did exchange letters. The parents created a plan to make it seem like they were corresponding to each other but in reality, it was their kids. This way Sade didn’t going poking her nose where it didn’t belong. It disheartened the girl that she couldn’t see her friend, but she kept the flower that Talbott given her. It was hidden away in a Muggle fairytale book. With each day and letter, she would hope that maybe there was a chance where she and Talbott see each other again.
Until the fateful day that forced her to hide her ray of sunshine from the world.
It was the year that she turned 9 years old. Not too long after her 9th birthday, her older brother was expelled and sent to another wizarding school in America to live with their mother’s family. It broke the little girl’s heart to have her brother leave.
“It wouldn’t be for forever, Pip. I’ll be back before you know it. I love you, little sister...”
The two wrote frequently, Jamal telling about his classes and what he’s been learning.
It was one of his lessons that lead to Judith’s fatal mistake.
It was a bitterly cold winter day in London and Judith woke up to an empty, freezing house. She knew her Papa was working at St. Mungos but her mother never told her where she went.
She got backhanded across the face the one time she asked...
Staring at the barren fireplace with a frown, Judith came up with an idea. Quickly running to her parents’ room, she found her mother’s wand on the dresser.
Returning to the fireplace, Judith focused on her memory on one of her brother’s letters about a fire spell.
After a few tries, she able to cast the spell correctly. Judith smiled, taking in the warmth that came from the flames.
It was at that moment Sade walked in. 
It didn’t take the woman long to piece the puzzle together and for her anger to rained down on the unsuspecting girl.
With quick strides, she slapped the fear stricken little girl.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing little girl,” she growled, snatching her wand from off the ground where Judith dropped it.
“I-I’m s-sorry, Mother! I-I-I was just c-cold,” Judith whimpered, tears prickling her eyes. She could already feel the bruise forming on her cheek.
“Cold, huh? Let’s fix that, shall we,” Sade laughed hollowly. She aimed the tip of her wand right at her daughter’s face. 
“Mother, p-please, no-!”
“Incendio!”
The pain scream of the girl echoed throughout the house...
---------------------------
Pale eyes opened up blearily at sound her owl’s insistent hoots, telling her it was the dreaded morning.
“Okay, okay, you little menace. I’m up,” the girl groaned. She felt a feather face nuzzle her left cheek. 
Where her burn scar resided.
The girl sighed and petted her loyal avian friend before rolling out of bed to get ready for the school day.
Judith was now 18, in her final year at Hogwarts. It’s been 9 years since her mother scarred her for life, both physically and mentally.
While she had to live this scar, with slightly blurry vision in her left eye, it was a needed change.
Turns out her mother had an ongoing affair three years after she was born. Which explained where she would go at random times and why she was so defensive about her whereabouts.
Her father was quick to divorce her mother and gain custody of her. Not like Sade put up a fight for her in the first place.
“Why would I? I don’t love her, hell I never wanted her. You can keep her, Kendrick!”
Judith was never meant to hear their part of their argument but she did.
Her burn scar was like a cruel reminder for the female Harris.
That she wasn’t as loved as she thought she was.
After the incident, Judith would lock herself in her room for hours, most times just laying in bed. She would either cry herself to sleep or stare numbly up at the ceiling. She stopped sending letters to Jamal and Talbott. Her mental health got so bad to the point her father had to take sick days to make sure she took care of herself.
She knew she would send her dear father to an early grave after he found out about her cutting situation two years ago. She’s been doing so ever since she got to Hogwarts. Without the comfort her Papa constantly being there and no promise of friends, the slide of a blade against her skin helped ease the tension she constantly felt.
She just wasn’t quick enough to put on a long sleeve shirt when he noticed the horizontal scars on her left arm.
Judith saw the heartbreak and fear in her father’s pale gold eyes. As much she didn’t love herself, she knew her father would always love her.
So she tried. Tried to be better. 
Her first order of business was concealing her scars. Permanently.
With her father’s permission, Judith got her left arm tatted. She sketched all of her tattoos and got them done by an old friend from the past. Her best friend from when she lived in Barbados, Malik Coleman. He was older than her by two years and had a passion for body art. Judith was willing to be his first customer. And she loved the work he did for her.
Of course this didn’t increase her social standing at school.
While she was seen as delinquent and a reject, she did receive love and warmth in some people since arriving to Hogwarts.
The first person to ever show her kindness and her birthday twin, Professor Flitwick.
Her first friend she made at school, David Willows.
Her older “siblings”: Bill Weasley, Orion Amari, Erika Rath, and Phoenix Lang.
Few Quidditch mates like Andre Egwu, Katriona Cassiopeia, Lizzie Jameson, and Cato Reese.
Her irritating but loveable dance partner and dueling partner (at least magic based), Diego Caplan.
Sweetheart and fellow Healer assistant, Chiara Lobosca.
Loveable giant and creature buddy, Barnaby Lee.
Bully turned friend and singing buddy, Merula Synde.
Artist buddy, Badeea Ali.
Her sweet half-brother, Nuri Lockheart.
Her adoptive sister from a different family, Amelia Booth.
Judith has felt bouts of happiness when she’s around her friends. Doing things she remembering she loved doing from when she little.
But there was one person who could truly revive that side of her. And he did when she first saw him.
Talbott Winger.
Her first friend since she moved to Europe. And her biggest crush.
But it looks like he forgot all about her.
Even after spending time with him when she and David wanted to become Animagi.
Even finding his beloved white feather necklace, gifted to him by his mother.
He doesn’t seem to recognize her. Judith partially blamed herself since she basically hides out in corners of the school or keep her face as covered as possibly. Even though everyone knew about her scar after a bullying incident from first year, Judith still felt incredibly self-conscious.
But she would’ve thought maybe Talbott would’ve instantly felt their connection like she did. Stuff that she read about in fairytales.
But she was wrong.
And Judith never feel confident enough to openly approach him and tell him who she was, so she’s been pining after the Ravenclaw wizard for years...
She thought it was probably for the best. She was never meant for a happy ending...
“Good morning, baby girl! How’s my little princess doing,” Kendrick greeted as the girl stepped into the kitchen. Judith gave a faint smirk.
“Papa, I’m 18,” Judith reminded as she walked up to her dad. Kendrick rose a brow.
“What’s your point,” he asked, leaning down to kiss her forehead. The girl giggled and shook her head.
She would always be her father’s little princess and nobody can tell him otherwise. Not even her.
“Nevermind, Papa. What’s for breakfast,” she asked, peeking around her giant father.
“Fruit salad, pancakes, bacon, and fresh glass passion juice,” Kendrick answered, handing his daughter a plate and cup. Judith thanked her father and proceed to eat her breakfast.
“So... you spoke to Talbott recently,” Kendrick asked as he washed the dishes. Judith choked on her juice.
“Papa!” Kendrick rolled his eyes at her scandalized tone.
“Oh c’mon now, baby girl. I saw you kiss the boy with you were 7. He’s the only one I really approved of anyways,” he said, mumbling the last part to himself. But thanks to Judith’s Animagus abilities, she heard him.
“You are nowhere near subtle about it. You terrified Andre half to death after I told you he had a small crush on me,” Judith said with an eye roll of her own.
“Don’t roll your eyes at me, young lady. And I was only kidding...”
“You threaten to break his bones in way where it would never heal properly so he wouldn’t be able to play Quidditch if he broke my heart.”
“What’s your point?” Judith tried to fight a fond smile that threatened to break out on her face. A lot of girls would find this type of behavior to be overbearing but she knew that her father just deeply cared for her.
He wanted her happy.
Happy with someone who would he knew he could trust to cherish her.
“You’re impossible, Papa,” the girl laughed, picking up her empty plate and glass to give to her dad to wash. She got on her toes to give the man a brief kiss on the cheek.
“Thank you for breakfast, Papa. I’m off to school and will be at Quidditch practice afterwards, so I’ll be out for awhile. Bye Papa, I love you,” Judith said, giving the Ravenclaw alumni a quick hug before running out the kitchen.
“Have a good day, baby girl! And I love you too,” Kendrick called after her.
Judith ran into her room to grab her broomstick and went outside. Settling on her broom, Judith took off into sky, which was slowly brightening as the sun began to peak over the horizon. She quickly switched to broom surfing, laughing as she flew.
Judith was an early riser, always up before the sun. She liked the tranquility of the morning, especially at the castle.
She liked to hang around a professor or hang out with her creatures before class started. Or possibly enjoy doing her hobbies before anyone could really bother her.
She looked to smash some practice dummies with Bludgers so she could get out any pent up aggression from her system. 
Little did she know that it lead to her first run-in with her Prince Charming...
-------------------------
“Andre, when I asked for you teach me about Quidditch so Madam Hooch doesn’t catch me off guard with her questions, I expected you just to tell me different facts. Not drag me all the way out here to the Quidditch Pitch,” Talbott deadpanned as his best mate pulled him along.
“Visuals can be just as good as me just telling you, Tal. If you visited a Quidditch match a day in your life, this wouldn’t be an issue for you,” the style wizard retorted. The pair were just about to going into the changing rooms when they heard the sound of metal smashing against metal. 
Intrigued, the two Ravenclaw wizards went to investigate.
They spotted the figure of a short girl effortlessly swinging her bat to beat the giant flying metal spheres heading towards her into the dummies in front of her.
Andre smiled.
“Ah, perfect! Prime example. One of the Quidditch positions there are is a Beater. There are two Beaters per team and they’re the only ones who hold a bat. Beaters are both offensive and defense players, beating Bludgers, formerly known as Blooders...” Talbott slowly toned Andre out as he stared the girl, who apparently plays Beater.
Her long hair was pulled back into a high ponytail to keep her hair out her face. Her short, curvy stature was covered with a form fitting black and yellow jersey with some short gym shorts to match. When she swung a certain way, Talbott can spy some ink on her left arm.
“Who is she,” Talbott asked, interrupting Andre’s lesson. The Ravenclaw Seeker looked a bit peeved when he realized that Talbott wasn’t even paying him any real attention but turned to study the girl to figure out her identity.
“Oh, that’s Tigress. One of Hufflepuff’s Beaters,” Andre said with a fond smile. Talbott glanced at him, slightly annoyed.
“Tigress? I meant her real name, Egwu,” he said.
“Why are you so pressed on knowing her real name, mate? What? You like what you see,” Andre asked, wagging his eyebrows at the now flustered wizard.
“W-Wha- Andre! Be serious, will you,” Talbott hissed, not willing to admit that he did like what he sees. A lot. 
Andre chuckled.
“Hey, if you do, I don’t blame you. I even crushed on her for a short while. Judith is very beautiful, despite what people say about her,” Andre said.
“Why did you stop liking her,” Talbott asked, curious to hear this. Andre shuddered.
“Her father is definitely not one to be trifled with. As much as I admired her and respected her dad, he terrifies me a little,” Andre supplied. Talbott made a curious noise.
“But aren’t all fathers like that? Especially when it comes to their daughters,” Talbott asked. Andre gave him a funny look.
“Talbott, mate. Do you not who Judith is,” Andre asked instead. 
“I felt like I heard her name somewhere before, but it’s not ringing any bells,” Talbott shrugged. Andre shook his head.
“The Cursed Child? Scarface? The Hufflepuff Reject? Any of those ringing any bells at all,” Andre pressed. Red eyes widen slightly.
“Yeah... now it does,” Talbott mumbled, narrowing his eyes at the girl.
Supposedly a group of older Slytherins and Gryffindors were bullying her back in their first year. A Slytherin boy pulled her hair loose which was hiding a burn scar the covered the left side of her face. The skinny Hufflepuff witch proved to be quite viscous as she attacked her bullies after humiliatingly her.
She was the same girl who sought him out to help her and her friend, David, to become Animagi. The same one found and returned his mum’s feather necklace with a simply note as the only evidence that it was her who done the act. 
“And her father,” Talbott asked.
“He visits on occasion, mainly during Quidditch season. It would be impossible to miss him. They’re basically twins. And he’s fiercely protective of her. While no one really knows the true origin of her scar, it affected him just as much it did her. He’s not afraid to come to his daughter’s defense if anyone were to make her uncomfortable about it. Even though he is a Healer, he can quite dangerous himself. From what I understand, whatever Judith knows about fighting, whether magic or Muggle-based, came from him,” Andre supplied.
“She’s... an enigma for lack of a better word,” Talbott finally said. 
“A beautiful one, at that,” Andre added. He got a raised brow for his comment.
“It’s rare to see her face. I’m surprised she doesn’t have her hoodie right now. But when I tell you she has the most unique pair of eyes I’ve ever seen, believe me. Such a bright color but muddled with sadness,” Andre sighed, wistfully.
The red eye boy cocked his head before walking forward. 
“Talbott, where are you-”
“What does it look like? I’m going to talk to her,” Talbott called over his shoulder. 
“Talbott, wait, you-”
Judith knew it was about time for her to change and head to first class. Freezing her Bludgers, her ears picked up the sound of someone approaching from behind. Her heart seized in her chest at the thought someone seeing her scar.
“Hey, Judith right,” Talbott called out to her as he got closer. 
‘Oh crap, why does it have to be him?! I gotta leave before he sees my face!’ With that in mind, Judith grabbed her bag and took off for the nearest exit. She can hear Talbott calling out to her but she didn’t dare stop until she was out of the Quidditch Pitch.
“Damn,” Talbott cursed under his breath. He was only a few feet away from her when she took off as if a bunch of devils were behind her.
“I tried to warn you, you blokehead. Judith is incredibly skittish when it comes to people she doesn’t interact with regularly. I can only imagine how she could be when her entire face is exposed,” Andre chided. Talbott rolled his eyes and sighed.
“It’s not like I haven’t spoken to her before. She returned something of mine a few years ago and I never got the chance to properly thank her,” Talbott grumbled, kicking the grass. Andre’s gaze soften at his admission.
“If you didn’t get the chance, then she probably wasn’t looking for you to thank her. She may be an outcast in this school but she’s definitely the school’s hidden sweetheart,” Andre said, squeezing his fellow house mate’s shoulder. A frown worked it’s way on Talbott’s face.
‘Just who are you? And why do you feel so familiar to me...’
“Time to go, class starts in a few minutes,” Andre coaxed. The wizard gave his friend a nod, turning to follow him until something on the ground caught his eye.
“What is it, mate,” Andre asked as he watch Talbott bend down to pick something up.
It was twin set of thick gold cuff bracelets. The outside had twin arrows engraved on it and each had a unique message on the inside.
To my baby girl: If I could give you one thing in life, it would be to give you the ability to yourself in my eyes. Then would you realize how special you are to me.
Whenever you feel overwhelmed... Remember whose daughter you are and straighten your crown.
“Talbott?” Red eyes meant brown ones with a small smile.
“I think I found a way to talk to her...”
