And all my life, I've never known where you've been There were holes in you, the kind that I could not mend And I heard you say, right when you left that day "Does everything go away?" Yeah, everything goes away But I am gonna be here 'til forever, so just call when you're around.

Last night I had two of my brother's kids here, including my little chess buddy, and he (of course) wanted to play chess

Except, I'm going on vacation starting tomorrow and it's been a HELL of a week for me at work trying to get everything ready and it's left me mentally depleted by the end of the day every single day, so I was like, "Bud, I am so tired, it wouldn't even be a battle right now. You'd just pummel me in two seconds flat."

But he kept asking, and I am Weak, so I eventually caved. About five minutes into the game, I get his queen.

Now, I need you to know that he has never once had his queen taken where he handled it with any kind of grace. He gets UPSET when his queen is taken. But he barely blinked this time.

Instead, he just looks at me and says, "See, I told you that you could still beat me."

And just the way he said it. I was like, "Wait a second. ARE YOU LETTING ME WIN?"

And he says, perfectly serious, "Yes. I'm proving you can still beat me when you're tired."

I've never let him win a game a day in his life but he's gonna go easy on me??? ON ME?????

Needless to say, I made him start the game over. I'll win fair and square or not at all, you little shit

Prompt 41

Hear me out, DP and DC crossover where Scarecrow is cousins with the Fentons. 

 His mother was siblings with Jack’s father, and both Jazz and Danny met ‘Uncle Jonathan’ during one of the many Fenton-Nightingale family reunions that happens every few years. Honestly, perhaps it’s what gets Jazz interested in psychology, hearing from her ‘uncle’ about fear and its effects.

 And honestly once they start having to deal with ghosts and having had to deal with their parents for years it’s not really hard to talk with their uncle. Crane still doesn’t know how he became these kids’ favorite uncle, or even all of the family kids’ favorite uncle-cousin, but that’s just how the family is. 

 Really he’s not even the only villain of the family, with both Jack and Maddie being close but not quite, even if they’re definitely mad scientists. Their son becoming a local hero, even if they’re not aware of that fact, is just ironic. 

 John knows. The two kids told him when they found out that Danny may or may not need to feed on fear now that he’s half ghost, and well he’s the specialist about the emotion so…

 At least they have someone to stay with when Jazz goes to Gotham university and brings Danny with her, even if the local vigilantes are concerned as to why Scarecrow attacks have suddenly took a nosedive…

I'm a strong believer in Soap & Ghost not wanting kids and not really caring to "start a family," but I do love the idea of them taking in the older neighborhood kids.

They don't foster or adopt, too lazy to jump through all the legal hoops and unending paperwork, but they'll have the troubled children on the block come in for dinner almost every night. Kids whose parents couldn't give a damn about them, already gave up on them, or are too tired to actually parent.

They let them help with house work and pay them so they know what it's like to earn instead of steal, they'll invite them to parties to know what it's like to have community, and they'll show up to their games or plays to let them know someone will always be proud.

Teens are always in and out of their houses, knowing it's always a soft place to land, knowing Soap and Ghost don't already see them as lost causes. Knowing if they have a bad trip or get badly hurt that they won't get in trouble or screamed at, they'll get help.

It helps that they both understand the kids, lost and alone in a world that doesn't give a damn. Sometimes they have heart-to-hearts, let the kids cry until they can't anymore. Other times they teach them how to properly swing at a punching bag to healthily release their anger. Occasionally they'll actually fight the kids just to show them they aren't as tough as they think before teaching them better ways to settle conflict.

Most importantly, they show the kids that no matter how fucked up your life is, how hard things get, or how much it feels like it's all ending, it'll always end up okay. They'll grow up, make a life for themselves, find people who care about them, and can help make the world a better place so the next generations of kids will feel a little less like they did.

They'll never have kids of their own, but they sure as hell look out for the kids in their lives.

So how many in the clan know about the bird apprentices sire? Is it common knowledge and just kind of not talked about? Is it only known to a few?

you hit the nail on the head! listen. cranepaw looks EXACTLY like her dad there is no way that the rest of the clan doesnt know. they just dont really talk about it (mostly to keep Finchbeak out of a tight spot), the most Finch & her kids get is a vague remark or two. that being said, the Finchkittens themselves have no idea

Ford's dreams of getting a pop quiz on what he's attracted reminds me of Mabel's Guide to Dating, where Mabel springs a 9000-question quiz on Soos, Dipper, and Stan to determine their dateability.

I mean, these two are on a similar wavelength, clearly.

so, my little sister has six kids, right, which is obviously fucking bananas, there is something legitimately wrong with that girl's brain to want that many kids (bc she did in fact do it on purpose)

which means her house is obviously chaos

we live in a place that doesn't get snow very often but it snowed while I was away on vacation in January (bc that is JUST MY LUCK) and shockingly, the forecast has snow today, too. Twice in one year is unheard of, since the winter norm here is no snow at all. it's cold just not cold enough for that.

When it snowed in January, the kids were out of their minds excited for it, so my sister decided to tell her kids that if they were too loud, it would scare the snow away

It just started snowing where she's at and she sent me a video where you can clearly see all of the children and there is not a sound to be heard. Not even loud breathing.

Six kids, ranging from nine years old to two years old, and every single one of them is the quietest they've ever been in their life

Therapist: And what do we do when we're sad?

Me: Sew a bunch of squares.

Therapist: ... okay, points for knowing yourself, I guess.

Prompt 293

Jason takes a deep breath. He takes a deep breath, in for ten seconds, out for eight, and just takes a minute before looking again. Nope, there’s still the strange quartet of orbs in the box of what should be stolen weapons (What, the government had enough, honestly) that gave his workers the heebie-jeebies. 

Which is not the vibe he gets from them. In fact, he’s actually kind of concerned with how much he has to beat the Pit back with how quickly it lurches to latch onto the… Well they’re not gems, and he’s a little wary about touching them at first, but the Pit does seem to settle when he does.

Alright, he can deal with this. It’s not like he has several heads in a duffel bag that needs to be delivered or a tiny assassin child back in his safehouse (Seriously Talia, why was he the preferred babysitter?) or an entire gang in Crime Alley to deal with. It’ll be fine. 

…

He would like to curse out his past self, because there’s now four babies in his safehouse that appeared to have fucking hatched from the orbs. Goddamnit.
