Best Babysitter Ever
A/N: I have been watching too much Criminal Minds recently, I just started it over for like the 5th time. I love the BAU so goddamn much, and I specifically love Reid (he’s just a lil guy) so y’all better get so ready for so much lee Reid in the upcoming weeks. For now though, Reid and Hotch interacting has my entire soul and being so here’s a quick little story for the two of them.
“Hotch, I promise you everything will be okay, I read five parenting books on the way here just to prepare.”
“I know, I trust you’re gonna be fine, you’ve just never babysat by yourself before, and JJ was supposed to come over and help…” Hotch trailed off, unable to keep the overprotective dad side from surfacing.
“We’ll be fine! I’m great with kids,” Reid continued to argue, “We’ll have so much fun, isn’t that right Jack?” Both men turned their eyes over to the small six year old playing with his trucks in the corner. Jack agreed enthusiastically and ran over to hug Spencer’s leg.
“Alright, I’m sure you guys will be fine,” Hotch finally relented. “Reid, call me if you need anything at all, and Jack, be good for Spencer” Spencer gave a salute towards his boss as Jack ran to hug his dad goodbye.
A few hours later, Hotch walked back into his house and was immediately greeted by the loud screams of laughter from Jack. Smiling, he made his way towards the two, not saying anything.
“SPEHEHENCEHEHER!” Jack squealed as Reid’s fingers scribbled across his belly.
“Spencer? Who’s Spencer, I’m the tickle monster!” The curly haired boy announced, scooping up the small kid’s wrists in one hand, and drilling into his underarms with the other. Jack kicked out and tried to squirm away from the intruding hands, finally noticing his dad standing over the two of them.
“DAHAHAHAHD HEHEHEHELP!!”
“You can scream all you want, no one can save you from the tickle monster!” Reid called out with a grin taking over his face as he turned to Hotch as a greeting.
“You heard him Jack, I can’t save you, there’s nothing I can do.” Hotch had a soft grin taking over his face as well, though not quite as smug as Spencer’s.
“PLEHEHEASE,” Jack whined out, obviously enjoying himself.
“Hmm alright fine, I’ll do my best but no promises.” Hotch threw his coat that he had just taken off onto the couch and crouched down by the two of them. “Let’s see here…” he muttered out, taking a hold of Jack’s arms and pretending to pull as hard as he could.
“You’re no match for my incredible strength!” Spencer continued in character, vibrating his fingers into Jack’s ribs causing a whole new round of laughter.
“Hmm I have an idea,” Hotch thought aloud as he stalked towards Spencer.
“You’ll never beat me! Jack will be mine forever,” the so-called tickle monster called out yet again, too busy with his charade to pay any attention to the older man getting closer and closer to him. Without warning, Hotch practically tackled Spencer and started digging into his ribs. Spencer squealed and kicked his feet, completely caught
off guard by the attack. Jack quickly stood up from his position on the floor cheering and encouraging the attack.
“Well well well, looks like the tickle monster is ticklish.”
“Nohohoho” Reid giggled out, weakly swatting at the offending hands currently wracking his nerves. Hotch grabbed Spencer arms and held them above his head, waiting while Reid panted beneath him.
“Hey Jack, come here,” the father beckoned his son over, and started pointing along Reid’s torso. “You know if you poke him right here he makes a really silly noise.” Jack, excited he got to play too began poking his little fingers along Spencer’s tummy. With every poke Spencer gave a hiccupy squeal, that quickly advanced into hiccupy giggles when Hotch’s fingers found their way to his upper ribs.
“Wahahahait guhuhuys,” he pleaded, being careful with his squirming to not hurt Jack.
“This is only fair after you tickled Jack for so long, what do you think buddy?”
“Yeah! You did this to me, you deserve it!” Reid just squeezed his eyes shut, threw his head back, and gave into the ticklish sensations.
The Hotchner duo continued their attack for a few more minutes, making sure to get thorough revenge on the tickle monster before letting him up. Spencer sat up panting, with slight tears in the corners of his eyes.
“The tickle monster isn’t gonna forget this, you better watch out,” he teased Jack, reaching out to pinch his side.
“My dad will rescue me every time!” Jack replied indignantly, clinging to his dad’s leg.
“I absolutely will,” Hotch reassured, ruffling his son’s hair, “But until you need more rescuing, it looks like it’s time for bed. Go start getting ready.” With that, Jack starting running off to get ready for bed, but quickly back tracked to give a crashing hug to Reid.
“Goodnight Spencer, thank you for playing with me.”
“Of course kid,” Reid replied, hugging Jack tightly. “I had fun playing with you.”
“Are you gonna come back tomorrow?” Hotch interrupted the interaction before Reid could be put on the spot.
“No buddy, not tomorrow, but you’ll see Spencer again soon.” Jack just nodded and finally left the two to begin getting ready for bed. Spencer stood up from the floor to stand next to Hotch.
“So I take it the babysitting went well?” Hotch asked with a slight smirk. Spencer nodded happily.
“Yeah, Jack is great. We had a lot of fun together.”
“I could see that. Do you maybe want to come back next week to babysit some more?” Spencer nodded again, much more enthusiastically. “And I take it the tickle monster will be making another appearance?” Spencer blushed out to his ears at the mention of the silly character.
“Maybe he will.”
“Well then it looks like I’ll have some more rescuing to do, won’t I?” Reid just smiled and looked down at the ground, too sheepish to continue meeting Hotch’s eye. Hotch smiled warmly, remembering just how young Reid actually is despite his age. He quickly pulled Reid in for a hug.
“Thank you again Spencer.”
“You’re welcome, it was nice getting to feel like an older brother for a little while.” Spencer’s eyes widened and he pulled away from the hug as he realized what he just said. “Not like that I just meant-”
“You’re the best big brother Jack could ask for,” Hotch assured the genius, clapping him on the shoulder. Spencer smiled an almost cheshire grin as the pink tint returned once again to his cheeks.
“I’ll see you tomorrow morning,” he called out, slinging his bag over his shoulder.
“Yep, and I can’t wait to see the rest of the team and inform them of what a great babysitter the tickle monster is,” Hotch teased, a smirk taking over his features. Reid froze, his hand on the doorknob.
“Hotch you can tell anyone and everyone you want, but don’t tell Morgan I’m ticklish, he’ll never let me live it down.”
“I don’t know, I think Morgan would really like to know…”
“Hotch!”
“Alright alright, I’ll keep it to myself, for now anyways.” Spencer breathed a quick sigh of relief and waved goodbye before leaving the house.
Hotch smiled fondly, and pulled out his phone to text Derek.
Tomorrow morning you should ask Reid how babysitting went. He has a really funny secret to tell you
“Technically, I’m not gonna tell him anything,” Hotch muttered to himself, smiling. “Plus what fun is having this information if I’m just gonna keep it to myself?” With that, he walked towards Jack’s room ready to tuck him into bed. His heart was full between his son and his work family, he couldn’t be any happier.

Hey, did you lose this?
A gargantuan looming form that was black as the night sky, coated in stars, cosmic dust, planets, and nebula. Extremely long snow white hair defying gravity floating above the ceiling spreading across like a growing cloud. Bright blue eyes like jewels staring down at tim
Tim could only stare dumbfounded with his sleep deprived eyes after searching for the right summoning in his backup backup bunker to find batman after escaping the arkham asylum.
In its right thin hand holding like a wet napkin was batman unconscious, coated in deep blue ice.
"I believe this belong to your dimension, at first, I thought it was a miniature cat at first when it tried a pathetic attempt at fleeing my children's toy box was when I noticed it was just another misplaced humans and they don't last long in the infinite realm much less my children's toybox. It took me a moment to figure out the right dimensions where it originated, but you thankfully made it easier for me to find with the summoning." The bring lightly drop Batman down to the ground as the deep frozen ice easily melted away.
"D-don't you need a payment?" Is what Tim spoke after his mind reset back from shock.
"Oh no~, visiting this dimension is a grand payment considering this where I can finally nib the bud of those pesky sewage ectoplasm that been a pain in my ankle for long enough. At best, you would be rewarded for giving me such a gift." The being lightly tapped Tim's head with its glowing index finger, ruffling the black hair lightly.
"Should you need me for any favor, Call upon me, the High King of the Infinite realm, Danny Phantom, Protector of the Dead and Alive, Center of the Eternal Vast Sp" The be- Danny did a light bow, as his towering being faded away, the summoning circle disappearing as well.
Leaving only Tim alone with a Bruce coughing a bit, taking a couple of heavy breaths of fresh air which snapped Tim out of his stupor.
"Bruce, Bruce, are you alright?" Tim rushed over and lightly shook Bruce's shoulder as Bruce's eyes opened slowly to see Tim, except there was something different about tim. His hair wasn't black but now a strikingly bright white with specks of stardust.

Out the yandere batfam who do you think would be one who would allow the reader to have more freedom? Like going out on walks and whatnot
hmmm a tricky question,,,, i don't think any of the batfam are full-blown 'chain you to the wall in a broom closet so they'll know exactly where you are at all times' types, but bruce and tim are definitely significantly more hesitant to let you leave the mansion chaperoned or otherwise. cas is a little more lenient, trusting her family to take you out for the occasional errand, but jason's definitely the worst. deadbolts on the door, tracker implanted in the side of your neck, driven to a full blown panic-attack by the very thought of you wandering gotham on your own. he's also the most likely to break your legs/cut your tendons to keep you safe and immobilized, even if it would take a little more than a push for him to get there.
dick's probably the most lenient. he wants your relationship to be loving and mutual, and loving couples go on dates :) the only downside is that he can't actually stomach the idea of you spending time or making eye contact with anyone else, meaning that most of your little excursions end in the back of his car, your face pushed into leather seats while he makes you promise over and over again that you'll never ever leave him. you did get boardwalk ice cream before his possessive breakdown though, so there are silver linings.
#dick would also be a fiend for showing you off when you're pregnant#he's dragging you to every banquet and charity gala with the biggest smile on his face and a vice-grip on your hand#and you're just seven months along and visibly on the verge of tears the whole time#bruce would still be like 'happy for those two crazy kids :)' tho#i fear he is not /not/ an enabler when it comes to his children#personal#anon ask

When you stand in front of me and look at me, what do you know of the griefs that are in me and what do I know of yours?
— Franz Kafka
Corlys, Addam & Laenor by Imperiat
#valyrianscrolls#asoiaf#addam velaryon#addam of hull#corlys velaryon#laenor velaryon#house velaryon#the dance of the dragons#fanart#asoiaf art#the dynamic between these three is so compelling to me#laenor existing as the bridge between corlys and addam#with addam obviously trying to build up that connection as much as possible#corlys goes out of his way to treat addam in a similar manner to laenor#with only a few key differences that say a lot about corlys’ own mindset#although all four of corlys’ children share parallels with him to some degree#laenor & addam are the ones who have the least in common with him#yet those two are also the ones who have the deeper relationship with corlys#grrm interconnected them to each other so well :’)#the kafka quote is taken out of its original context but it really fits the dynamic of these characters so I’m choosing to use it

「 I turned my eyes away and lived 」 truth of the immortal alliance conference comes to light
[ID: Scum Villain fanart, set in Proud Immortal Demon Way. In image one, Shang Qinghua bids the viewer (Mu Qingfang) goodbye with closed eyes and a smile as he walks toward Mobei-jun. Ice arrows threaten to pierce him; dry blood trails his step and coats his uniform, hands, and face. In image two, Mu Qingfang is kneeling, surrounded by fire and silhouettes of dead disciples, looking upon the viewer (Shang Qinghua) with a stricken expression. Their hair is disheveled and fresh blood soaks their uniform and cheek. A hand lingers on their sword, hesitant to unsheathe it. END ID]
#I AM NOT NORMAL ABOUT MQF!!!#i have ideas of their friendship. as two of the most overworked... very pragmatic sort as well; it works out...#mqf may divulge the complications of failing to save a life without excess sympathy sent their way; which they also appreciate from qqq#but how were they to realize that sqh's resentment has grown so much such that he doesn't even care about how literal children have died#while still letting mqf lean on him. knowing how much it tore their heart out - and /encouraging/ that numbness creeping in#as to keep their solidarity standing. because - for all his resentment - sqh really couldn't hate mqf#one of those friendships. you know. with that feeling of 'i should've met you so much earlier' - but they didn't.#there will always be a rift between them. for that reason.

i wish the tiktok proship community was more like the tumblr proship community, bc on tiktok it's all 13 year olds trying to be as edgy as possible. im so sick of every post being "bandit 🍇s bluey but she likes it" like i doubt that you even ship that you're just trying to post the most vile "headcanons" you can come up with. proship just means "ship and let ship", it doesn't mean you HAVE to post dark headcanons about children's media. also the fact that most tiktok proshippers are around 13- there's no space for adults? as far as ive seen anyway.
#and of course this post isnt to say that you cant have incest/rape/etc headcanons or themes#like hi im proship. duh you can have those headcanons#im just bored with that community number one because its comprised of mainly children and two because theres no flavor! no inspiration!#every post is ooh “character who is a minor wants to unalive themself but secretly likes being graped!!”#“adult character touches minor character in their sleep and the minor pretends not to know but secretly likes it”#bland boring uninspired!!!#also the vocabulary used “grape/🍇” “unalive” like you are simply not old enough for this shit.#please put the phone down put the cutegore down put the slurs down it isnt cute or edgy#im tired man idk#proship#proship please interact#proship interact#proud proshitter#ship and let ship#dddne#proshippers please interact#proshipper safe#proshippers are valid#op is a proshipper

can you guess which two i made have kids in cas. more importantly can you tell which brother's gonna murder the other
#very subtle#(it's evelyn and black turtleneck guy (his name is ashford))#to be clear this is not the same universe as the necromancy#i am just going to yoink evelyn and ashford's sim appearances and make them completely different characters#they don't look like their sim versions in my head it's fine#and it's the dark timeline that those two would even get married and have children. not canon anyway#i would have just made different sims entirely and i did TRY. but like. look at that greasy rat. the personality was just way too strong#i couldn't improve upon it it's perfect. and that's straight out of genetics he's not even edited hello!!!!#so they're twins the greasy rat one merritt#the other brother is grant. look at him he's so pathetic his personality was so strong too#ts4#ts4 cas#the sims 4

my personal frank langdon headcanon is that he's really good at eating pussy bc why else would his wife still be with him at this point
#frank langdon#the pitt#imagine being abby and caring for two children under four#and your asshole husband who's married to his job works insane hours and doesn't appreciate you#and his idea of a nice gesture is getting a puppy that you'll have to care for on your own#and he comes home and tells you he got fired from his job bc he's stealing pills bc he's an addict#and he's going to rehab leaving you with your two young children and a fucking dog you're gonna have to pick up from the craiglist seller#the only logical conclusion as to why she's still with him is that he gives good head like i can't think of anything else#honestly she's too real bc those ocean blue eyes would convince me to stay too idk

Liu Siwen's case in Season 1: Oct 2 2021
Similarly to Doudou's case, this case occurred after Sept 13 in Season 1, yet was mentioned as one of the three cases that ShiGuang had tackled in the original timeline
However there was something else I noticed about this one that kind of bugs me...
Sometime between Ep 5.5 and Season 2, Liu Siwen starts to teach the trio martial arts (as shown in two of the Chibi shorts), and the trio call him "Siwen-shifu"
So why is it that in the audio for Bridon Ep 4, CSX says "Ouyang-shifu" instead...?
#link click#i haven't seen this date shared in a lot of the timeline posts so originally just wanted to share it for timekeeping purposes#but then I realized the client in the S1 case is Siwen not Ouyang#i guess ouyang sr is the subject of the case (much like emma & doudou)#but does it make sense for csx to call either Ouyang or her father 'shifu' as well?#(also justice for Miss Ouyang we never got to learn her first name!)#(maybe in the og timeline ouyang was the client instead of siwen and became their teacher instead?)#(also on a side note my favorite twist about this case is the reveal that those two had been married with children the whole time)#(and that the yearly competition was just about for getting the father's approval and doing this properly)#(first time i watched it i was SO MAD about that man wasting his daughter's life like that)#(that he would rather let her grow old and never marry than let her be with the guy she likes)#(the reveal that outside of the yearly bout they were actually together and living their best life made me so happy)

hiii! I saw some photos from you on the toon-link-plush-daily blog and had a question-
where
how acquire four swords theme colored toon links
did you make em or?
- sincerely, a four swords loving anon (☘️🍐 anon)
Hi Pear anon!!!! (wait do you want me to call you pear anon, I'm not used to anons hahaha, please lmk!).
I officially have two nickels because I've been asked twice how I spawned these guys XDLASDJ, they're so funny looking.
I talked about it here, but basically bought different colored fabric and three more guys and dressed them up as the colors, and now they're so happy together, poor green guy was so lonely.
Hope you get to have your four color guys hehe >:·3!

Also, now it's harder to bring them to trips and take silly photos of them cause they're wanted in 17 countries for crimes against humanity :(
#my children#the first time I saw them I thought the same#WHERE CAN I GET THEM#it was a really fun experience ngl#every week I'd get a new toony and wait for the fabric to come#so there was one day where I had two green guys#first was Green then Bue then Red and last Vio#and I love that I would know who is who if they were all dressed in green ngl#they look the same but have their thingies that make them different#like they're not the same size exactly#some are slightly bigger or their hair and head are less stuffed#Red's got the smallest size#no stuffing behind those eyes#and Blues shirt fabric is fluffier so it makes him a bit plumpier and his left leg is wonky#Green's hair is on his eye (oh no he's an emo) XD and his arms are the thinest cause he has no extra fabric on them#and Vio is also smaller like Red and his hat broke a few weeks ago :(#I love them so much

I made my post about Dean Highbottom and then as I was writing my tags realised that his Hunger Games counterpart is Haymitch. and now my head is in my hands and I don’t think I’ll ever recover
#IM GOING TO CRY. I am part of the system I never wanted anything to do with it#I killed so many people without laying a hand on them. I never ever asked for this. I tried to say no. my hands are still bloody.#both turned to drugs to cope. both had a mentee who reminded them of someone they hated so much#(snow reminded the dean of his old friend. katniss reminded haymitch of himself)#both knew exactly how the games worked and all of its consequences because one made it and the other lived it#both lived in the shadows of the past and never really got out from it#but in the end one of them chose to be cruel to the children who they were asked to mentor#and the other loved even when it was killing him#god. twenty three years and they never managed to drown the fire out of him. his heart broke again and again#but he held onto those shards even as they made his hands bleed. and then one day two children appeared and pieced it back together#and some of it was missing and always would be. you can’t undo twenty three years of alcoholism and pain and grief and self loathing#but a lot of it was still there. far more than he ever even believed could have survived#Haymitch I love youuuuuuuuu I will always love you#and Dean Highbottom you were kinda cringe and lame. guynobody ass bitch. do better#haymitch abernathy#dean highbottom#thg#the hunger games#a ballad of songbirds and snakes#abosas
