Machete has parents?? I'm not familiar with their actual lore, so I've been imagining Machete as a desolate victorian orphan boy
Everyone has parents, he didn't materialize out of thin air (or evolve from a crumpled napkin).
But he lost contact with them early on and doesn't remember much of anything about them. Machete was a sickly kid and his family was going through a rough patch at the time, they were constantly struggling to find the time and funds to care for him. Child mortality was high and it was starting to look increasingly likely that he wouldn't make it. He was around three or four when they left him at the closest monastery that accepted foundlings and he hasn't heard of them since.
#it was child abandonment but I don't think they did it out of malice or anything#monasteries often functioned as hospitals and/or orphanages and his parents hoped it would give him a better fighting chance#sending children to monasteries to be raised as oblates wasn't uniquely uncommon#and it worked he was well looked after there and probably wouldn't have survived otherwise#but of course being separated from your family isn't great for a child's psyche in any situation#answered#anonymous#Vaschete lore#in modern au he has a better but still complicated relationship with his parents#he's not super close to his brothers but they get along fine#so not victorian (different era) and not an orphan (his parents aren't dead they just chose to sever ties with him)

People will look at a character who doesn’t have family/parents or their family/parent(s) die early and be all “look how TRAGIC and MEANINGFUL it makes their NARRATIVE, it’s so MOTIVATING” but no as a writer listen to me. It’s usually because we’re lazy. And accounting for a bunch of family dynamics is a lot of extra work that is keeping us from just getting on with the Adventure and/or Smooches. I am scolding us as a community for this behavior.
#River rambles#nightblogging#this is me complaining at all of us#And the fact we have way fewer examples of media showing how to write good family dynamics#Because we’re all LAZY#And instead of doin’ the work we just kill everybody off!#LOOK AT MY HORDE OF PARENTLESS CHILDREN#Tbf it’s important to the plot#But I AM going to figure out whose families are still alive and I will NOT pretend forever that they dont have them!!!#It will be hard but DOGGONIT IT MUST BE DONE!!!#To break the cursed cycle!!!!!#Writing#writeblr#conveniently an orphan

Me, faced with a shiny new story idea: Save it for the Inklings Challenge, save it for the Inklings Challenge, please save it for the Inklings Challenge, I'm begging you please save it for the Inklings Challenge
#adventures in writing#the idea engine is warming up#by now i've got a certain sense of what kind of stories i generate for the inklings challenge#mash up one of the genres with another work or genre and create some half-baked world#the most recent is: the boxcar children as a portal fantasy#older sister and middle brother and younger sister the oldest no more than eleven or twelve#fantasy world royalty who flee from danger (probably an evil usurping uncle who wants to kill them like it's the aristocats)#and stumble into our world#and have to have all sorts of orphan adventures as they figure out how to survive#scrounging for supplies#setting up housekeeping in the woods or in some kind of abandoned building#figuring out our world and making friends#which they're going to need once the evil uncle's forces come after them#it would be so so middle grade and so derivative and such cheesy earnest fun#telling you about it now because it's the type of story idea that loses its luster in 24 hours#and i'll probably never write it#but also it can go on an inklings list and who knows#maybe three days before the deadline this one will pop up as a viable option for this year

Dick Grayson, age nine, looking up at Clark with blue eyes that promise death warning, “Batman’s best friend is Robin. Not Superman.”
#leo says shit#dick grayson#batman#dc robin#superman#superbat shippers who think Clark knowing the kids as Robin is a good thing do not understand#dick *almost* came home from college but decided to leave again because Bruce was spending too much time with Talia#Jason spent more than TEN issues working with Harvey Bullock because Bruce was giving Selina too much attention#they are only children and orphans who do NOT like having to share their dad#dude could barely raise two children at a time#dick had already left before Jason came Jason already died when Tim came#with Cass he had Barbara to co-parent with Damian he ‘died’ immediately#when Duke lived with Bruce Damian wasn’t around now that Damian lives with Bruce again Duke is off with his cousin#what was I even saying?#oh yeah#dick would be defensive of his dad because he has attachment issues due to watching his parents die in front of him#obviously if superbat did happen they’d work through it and dick would love his stepdad but I don’t think everything start off peachy keen#although dick and Clark do get along well for like 500 issues straight during World’s Finest so maybe I’m stupid

Realising just how much I hate revisionist takes whenever I dab into fandom surrounding children's media. Like — you people do realise those are books for children and of course the designated mentors are going to send the teenage heroes into danger?
*sighs*
#no Dumbledore is not awful for sending Harry to leave with the Dursleys#I mean he would be in real life but this is a Children's book! It doesn't work on the same logic!#Dumbledore is good and Harry needs to be the fairytale put-upon orphan so to the Dursleys he goes. Voila.#(haven't watched AtLA yet but I did stumble upon someone saying it's wrong that they left the cleaning up after the war to teenagers#and umm that's called wish fulfillment. the audience it's made for does not care it's actually hard to be a ruler I assure you)#original post#fandom#internet culture

okay, before I give my reverse au monster thoughts; since we all almost agree that anna liebert (reverse johan) is undeniably WORSE than him. because she not only got that red rose mansion treatment, she also got freaking kinderheim as a double whammy combo too.
.....that being said, would y'all hear me out if I use that reverse logic and dare I say: johan (fortner?) would be..... better? kinder? than nina?? do i make sense??????
#Like..... hear me out.#what if reverse johan is like the version of himself that he presents as in munich arc. but like its REAL and with added sincerity on top#he truly is a kind young man. a gentleman. born to be sensitive and very keenly empathic to the needs and worries of others.#and he does orphan and charity work at the side and studies law to advocate for the rights of children#c.johan liebert#c.nina fortner#c.anna liebert

I always think.... in a end of the world situation, how are people supposed to get insulin? Do diabetics just have to die immediately? Even if there's food and everything else, they would technically not survive.
That's what's happening in Gaza already. While we have all the insulin we need on the other side and while israelis block and bomb aid trucks.
#no doubt there are some children whose remaining parent is diabetic#so does the parent slowly die over something so petty and have to leave their kids as orphans?#like......#meanwhile TUMBLR is recomending me pro israel posts from small zionist accounts#this site barely works but it can push ugly israeli propaganda

I’m never going to watch Boruto because why on earth but I saw some scene where Hinata makes ramen for Naruto and it occurred to me: why on earth do any of these people have children??? Aren’t they busy like. Being ninja?? Hinata is a goddamn princess and a powerful ninja for Christ’s sake don’t they like. Have somebody to make ramen for them or is that just her job now because she’s moved on from all other roles to become Wife™??
Or Sakura for that matter, doesn’t she have better things to do than raise a kid????? Like isn’t she a brilliant medical ninja ?? Or was I hallucinating the last 300 episodes of Naruto?
Like Kakushi and Iruka and Guy didn’t have children so why would Naruto and the gang.??? Don’t they have?? Stuff to do?
#I just hate ‘getting married and having children’ being the default happy ending in everything all the time#honestly I think the only one with any business having a child is sasuke#being that he has a clan to rebuild and all#but couldn’t he just be a single father or something??? go adopt some random orphan it’s not that hard there’s a million orphans#also personally I think Naruto could have a kid that’s fine I mean he has a clan to repopulate too#but wouldn’t it make the most sense for him to be in charge of raising the kids given that as hokage he can kinda work from home???#I assume hinata retires from being a ninja which sucks because Naruto with a baby carrier in the hokage office#way funnier and sexier tbh

How do they feel about kids?<
Adoption.
Both of them are pretty pro adoption, and considering they can't have kids themselves and Kaiba himself is an adopted child, it's the best option for the two of them.
Obviously it takes a While for them to get that far into their relationship, especially because Eve is slightly apprehensive about having any due to her size, but two children sound like the perfect fit for them.
#ssv#oc#yugioh au#yugiohoc#giant/tiny#Bondshipping#“Oh I've been working on this au for 5 years” and yall ask the stuff i just don't think about#nothing bad i just think its jarringly funny#on the spot conception#but mainly Kaiba. there's no way this man won't adopt into his famiy. Orphans canonically get free admission to his themeparks he loves kids#Eve is definitely apprehensive around children because she's literally the size of a barbie and children can be brutal#but they'd get older kids. I'm sure they'd be good parents too

my toxic oc/canon creator trait is only giving kids to the ships who would be objectively awful parents because it’s funny to see how they’ll fuck it up
#percenia and karlach: warm and caring ladies who never lost the drive to be kind through their trauma.#extremely nurturing couple who could make a huge difference in a child’s life. too bad there is no such child planned.#meanwhile millie and lae’zel are carrying around a githyanki egg with no game plan because millie was in a silly goofy egg stealing mood.#tracey and sylvia would be fantastic parents. slyvia literally worked with children before the reaping and is a natural at it.#and tracey put up with jestiny so that speaks for itself.#no nuclear apocalypse orphans for them tho.#instead how about johnjess determined to be childless survive a decade of bunker raw dogging only to accidentally adopt two kids.#then conceive a third to prove the j names were also a coincidence.#(undecided on if faithjen kids are strictly au or not.)#(but as much as all my new dawn stuff is really au)#(and ‘‘oh hey babe i spent the last ten years thinking you were dead.’’#‘‘UM anyways i went bunkermad and cloned us up a test tube baby meet your daughter<33’’ IS pretty funny so. maybe kids for them too)

Hope you don't feel pressure to try to make Ear canon in any AU! I love cute kid OCs and seeing what characters could be like as parents as much as anyone else but I know some people can get overly insistent that artists give their characters kids as soon as the idea comes up. That being said I do have to admit what little you've shared about how they'd be as parents sounds very heartwarming. I'm a sucker for when someone is determined to make sure a kid has it better than they did when they were young like Machete would be, and how that can sometimes help to heal pains from their own childhood. Vasco would be wonderful too of course! He may have had a better childhood but I'm sure there are things he struggled with or wished could've been different. All fun ideas, but if Ear remains as just an idea that is absolutely okay!
Aw it's okay. A tiny bit pressured but in an encouraging/inspiring way, I don't think I'm going to lose sleep over it.
It would be really interesting to see how parenthood would alter their relationship and self-image, it could potentially expand their character into unexpected directions. Ear seems like a likable pup, they'd be a fun character to develope.
On the other hand I'm fond of their dynamic as is, I think they're happy that way. It's still typical that couples are expected to want to have children and start a family, it's seen as the norm and the next logical step after getting married. I like the idea of them feeling content and complete in their relationship even if it's just the two of them, and showing that the absence of offspring doesn't make their union any less valid and committed.
#it's not like I have to commit hard in any direction or make the choice right now#I'll think about it and see what feels right#as charming as the orphan theory is I don't think their original canon will involve children#it's just not a suitable time or place#it could potentially work in modern times if they adopted#I'm not feeling the surrogacy option I don't think#if I wanted to imagine them doing parenting exercises they'll always have nieces and nephews they could babysit on occasion#answered#anonymous#kid named ear

tfw one of your fav fics got added to a private/unrevealed collection so you can't view it anymore and you forgot to download it so you might never get to reread it again :(((
#eliot posts#why would you do that instead of orphaning it or making it anonymous??????#ughhh i always forget to download fics#at least it was just privated and not deleted so it might come back?#part of me wonders if it was actually an accident cuz sometimes how collections like that work can be confusing to authors#and i don't see the logic as to why someone would do that on purpose?#i wish i could ask why to get my curiosity satiated at least even if they don't end up making the fic public again#but i can't do that without like. commenting about it on one of their other fics. in a completely different fandom#and i'm not gonna do that cuz i reckon it'd just make the author real uncomfortable and i don't wanna do that#but like. it is gnawing at me nonetheless.#it appears to have only been privated for a week or two (after being available for several months prior)#so like hope is still very much there of it coming back#i once had a fic get straightup Deleted for months and the author disappear without a trace only for it to get reuploaded out of the blue#but yeah. reminder to dowload your fav fics! ao3 is not as permanent as you may think#god the fic was just. SUCH a good take on going no contact with an abusive parent and it delighted me to read#actually. i know it's a longshot but if any of my followers fastidiously download fics#do any of you have a copy of a toh fic called ''out of the blue'' abt amity and her family?#i would give you my firstborn for it#which means nothing considering i am not having any biological children but you know

lets pour one out for brala and leslie, neither of which got to become loving fathers in the epilogue
#helix waltz#hw brala#hw leslie bavlenka#they did them so dirty#character mutilation honestly#what was the point of the architecture event if not to establish leslie's lifelong dream to get married and have a dozen kids#and grow old with his family in his fancy beach house#brala doesn't have time for this fucking job#it doesn't pay enough to feed clothe and house his 30+ orphans#he's been making all of them houses with his own hands as is oren tradition#he loves his giant human children even if their houses take so much more to make#why doesn't he work in an orphanage#there were two character endings where they opened orphanages and neither of them were brala
