Okay but, making Homelander valentine chocolate from scratch, keeping in mind flavors he has said he likes. Makes special unique ones to fit his tastes and even makes the box and everything, presents it to him with a cute little teddy

I already love the idea of Homelander receiving thoughtful gifts, handmade always makes it even better!

especially if his SO puts a ton of effort into it, really making it look legit with the pretty box wrapped in a bow. I imagine he gets gifts from sponsors, brands, Vought, etc... and it's all very perfect and manufactured and he couldn't care less for yet another box of teeth-rotting chocolates that are a LOOOT more sugar and palm oil than any actual decent chocolate.

However he'd already be beaming to be receiving a gift from his SO. But a handmade gift??

"I hope you like them, I made a few different flavours that I think you'll really enjoy."

"Hold up, what do you mean 'made'?" He was already holding the gift but now he's laser focused, really noting every single detail. The handmade—and more importantly yours—touch is now obvious and it's crazy that at first he thought you just popped down to a bakery to get their bestsellers already boxed up.

"I... made these for you."

Homelander's unsure which emotion to feel first. Elation, excitement, pure unbridled joy and happiness or the overwhelming and rapidly burning sensation of tears in his eyes. The gesture alone feels like a million bucks and from the smell of the treats he can already tell it's going to taste even better.

But first things first, he needs to sample the most important treat first. You. Putting the box down he pulls you into an emotional kiss. One he conveys through his arms around you just as much as his lips. His tears make it down to your lips, forcing the taste of the whirlwind of emotion onto your tongue.

When he pulls away, instead of thanking you, a worry makes itself known on his features. He looks at where he placed the gift and then you, his eyebrows increasingly furrowing.

"B-but why? I didn't make you anything." While he didn't make anything he bought all the items on the Valentine's day checklist.

You put your hands on his cheeks, gently wiping the tear tracks with your thumbs and you smile.

"Don't be ridiculous, this isn't a competition. And even then, I mean damn, you've been spoiling me plenty!" From massive bouquets of roses to chocolates and jewellery; you got it all.

"Oh please, it's nothing. Just a few knick-knacks, but this..." He can't even talk about it without letting his emotions take over. This is the things he's been robbed of his entire life. These gestures of love and devotion that were meant to be coming from his loved ones. With the few people he could label that, those gestures were few and far between. If any.

Until now.

You save him from needing to hide away and cry his feelings out and instead you remind him of the joy.

"Come on, let's sit down and try these out. I wanna see which one is your favourite."

With an infectious joy, you take the box with you in one hand, his in the other and you lead and sit you both on the couch. Letting him crack open the box and take the first pick.

And while the words thank you seem harder to say than ever, his eyes share the sentiment clearly .

---

I didn't touch on it in the little scenario BUT that teddy is being cuddled anytime the reader isn't home (while the reader ofc has the kuddle buddy plush). That or it's getting the hall of fame position in his strange box of sentimental trinkets.

Saw an old Ballet AU ask and just... I'm melting.

I love my clichés, so ex-dancer Dream who is a single father to Orpheus. Dream is very bitter about not being able to dance anymore due to an injury + not having time for physical therapy. So it takes some courage for Orpheus to ask him to teach him to dance. Dream refuses but signs Orpheus up to a dance class, somewhere where he can dance and Dream doesn't have to think about dancing.

Enter ballet teacher Hob, who just wants his young students to have fun. Dream is a little surprised that Orpheus doesn't come home exhausted and miserable like he used to. He decides to check the class out, just to make sure he's not paying crazy money for a scam.

Hob is not a scammer for sure. What the kids are doing is learning ballet. But Hob does not scream at them when they mess up, doesn't make them do something over and over again until they collapse. He gently motivates them and lets them set their own pace.

Dream tells himself he will not visit the class ever again after he made sure it's legit. It made his heart ache to see Orpheus, who is his little clone, dance like he used to. But then there is this event where the kids are supposed to bring their parents and Death was supposed to fill in for Dream but she [insert excuse] at the last minute and he has to go because Orpheus would be heartbroken if he didn't attend. Nothing can be done; Dream will just explain that he's had a serious injury and can't dance. Hopefully, they will still let Orpheus participate.

But Hob assures him that he will not make him do anything difficult, he should at least try, for Orpheus, and when Dream is exhausted, Hob will gladly fill in for him, but please try... Dream is easily swayed by Hob's doe eyes and agrees. And he absolutely regrets telling Hob about the injury because Hob remains close by his side, supporting him through movements that should be difficult to an amateur that Dream would still manage in his sleep. He is basically dancing with Hob as Hob keeps his hands on Dream, and for a moment even Orpheus is forgotten, though he doesn't mind because he's finally seeing his dad smile! Probably for the first time ever.

I'll cut it off here before it becomes an entire ficlet. XD You all know how the story goes, anyway.

- 🚒

Am crying softly. I bet Dream was so torn up when Orpheus said he wanted to do ballet. Of course Dream would do anything for his son, but with his past, its so painful to see this little mini version of himself following the same path that he once took. His relief in knowing that Orpheus is being treated with kindness and is actually enjoying himself almost makes him burst into tears.

Hob actually recognises Dream from his previous career, but he doesn't go all fanboy on him when they first meet. Hob is gentle, kind, and just a tiny bit pushy - the perfect combination of things to persuade Dream that maybe he can dance. This one time.

And Hob gets to watch as Dream’s body wakes up from its long dormancy. Its the most beautiful thing he's ever seen. Orpheus is grinning and twirling around with pure joy, and Dream is absolutely beaming - and oh dear, Hob might be just a tiny bit in love.

At the end of the event when Hob offers Dream an hour each week in the studio to practice some gentle dance, he promises that he'll be around to support him both physically and emotionally. He doesn't quite anticipate that Dream will lean in and kiss him on the cheek. Or that Orpheus will hug him so tightly.

And oh, he's not just a little bit in love. He's head over heels!

𝐑𝐈𝐃𝐃𝐋𝐄

ngl a little freaked out

given your horns and tail, and the vague/slightly tad bits of what your line of work is, it's safe to say riddle was very weary of you

but, i suppose that lessens up when he sees you respecting the queen of hearts' rules

lowkey loves that fact you fit in with the red aesthetic tho

also loves when you easily whip Ace and Deuce into shape

riddle feels surprisingly comfortable with you after the overblot incident due to the fact you simply held onto him and allowed him to cry, and get it out of his system

𝐋𝐄𝐎𝐍𝐀

ma'am

he laps up ALL the love and affection you give him

such a smug bastard [ affectionate ]

also kind of "he asked for pickles" but it's more that he's just lazy

definitely respects the shit out of tho

girlboss over here

is so impressed when he witnessed you take down, like, 15 of his housemates like it was riding a bike

did i mention cuddles??

cuz you are now his fav pillow

yeah nah, you're not moving until he's awake

well, i mean, you can cuz not gonna stop you, but ready to then deal with a grumpy lion later on

𝐀𝐙𝐔𝐋

flustered yet intrigued

you said you did some bodyguard work and know how to deal with problematic customers??

. . . do you need a job??

but in all seriousness, very much becomes your malewife

man legit folds at any and all affection you give him, big and small

very surprised when you help him get more contracts for him and he swoons lowkey

something to do with the fact you're from hell or something

he didn't really pay attention cuz azul's brain had crashed from the smile you sent him

𝐊𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐌

oh our sweet sunshine baby

you honestly end up taking over jamil's job at this point

jamil cried tears of joy over this

you can easily calm kalim down and divert his attention back on track

and easily dispose of any hitmen *ahem*

he definitely buys jewellery to decorate your horns

you casually mentioned your, uh, job once, and let's say kalim is grateful that he's on your good side

𝐕𝐈𝐋

you're like a slightly more violent cheerier version of rook in a sense

but also somehow less intense too??

ugh whatever

your bright red skin does intrigue him

and your makeup is quite impressive

. . .

what do you mean you have naturally smooth skin?? had no acne too??

vil may kind of reprehend you for your country accent, but quickly shuts the fuck up from the wicked glare you give him

epel snickered to himself when say that happen

𝐈𝐃𝐈𝐀

you are intense

but in a good way??

you have successfully bamboozled idia shroud

it confuses

he has heard of imps before bc duh ofc he has

he's watched too many manga and shit to not know what those are

you two very much give "he asked for pickles" and "girlboss + malewife" vibes

gets spooked when you don't bat an eye to the gore when watching horror series with him

may have prayed once or twice

𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐔𝐒

at first, he mistook you for another dragon fae cuz of ya horns and got really fuckin excited

tho lowkey sad once you explained you're actually an imp from hell

still jazzed about the horns and tail tho

loves to share stories and whatnot

. . . kinda concerned when you mentioned a job that left your leg in a bear trap

yeah

malleus may have almost asked to . . . talk to your boss

[reasonsforhope]

Your blog is a literal god send for me, I’ve been feeling so depressed, pessimistic, nihilistic and cynical at the state of the world right now and my fear of if I even have a future, but your blog is absolutely what I needed right now, so I can’t thank you enough. I’m just so happy to see someone who is hopeful and positive and not pessimistic, and it makes me legit want to cry tears of joy. How are you able to stay so positive and optimistic despite everything going on?

<3 <3 <3

As for how I stay optimistic and relatively positive? Lots of effort and hard work.

I'm not naturally an optimist. I spent most of my life (and certainly my adolescence lol) being pretty angry and cynical.

It's not that I never feel depressed or despairing about the state of the world. There's fucked up shit happening, indisputably, and hey, I'm trans, it's been a rough fucking year for that. But I guess I try to focus on the difference between passing moods and baseline worldview.

Some of the main ways I moved my baseline worldview to be optimistic and hopeful:

A lot of reading and looking at data and in-depth stories. The headlines never give you enough of the story - hell, most news articles don't these days, because they're so skewed toward negative news

Especially reading/looking at good news sites (I have a masterpost of good news sites here). There are good things happening everywhere that you never hear about. Mostly, you only ever hear about the good things when there's been a huge setback, which sucks!

I'm basically not on social media. Nothing except Tumblr, Facebook, and LinkedIn, and I only ever go on FB and linkedin briefly for business. It's fantastic, can't recommend ditching social media enough

I made sure I was doing something to help (aka I started this blog. I would also volunteer but my disabilities and a lot of logistics make that complicated)

My job involves reading a couple dozen self-help books a year lol, not gonna lie that def helps

Taking a long perspective of time. It often doesn't feel like it, but statistically, this really is the best time to be alive. (Here's a fantastic essay about many of the reasons why.) People really gloss over how much most of the past kinda fucking sucked to live in. 50% of all people used to die before their 15th birthday, for basically all of history until the past 200 years!! Imagine having to live with that. Imagine all of that pain and grief literally everywhere. I'm really happy about living in modern times, actually!

That last point is esp helpful to remember for me because I'm 100% for sure on the list of "people who would've died in childbirth" pre modern medicine (and my mom would've died having me, too). It was modern times or nothing lol

The vast majority of the world has spent the past 300 to 500 years being absolutely brutalized by white people and/or the West. There's still a lot of fallout to fix and colonialism to uproot, but I genuinely can't wait to see what people and nations will achieve with sustained self-rule and significantly fewer massive atrocities

Solarpunk and hopepunk stuff

I'm gonna make a whole post about this at some point but the fact that we eliminated scarcity in the past few decades actually changes the entire fucking game for the world (literally it's not a zero sum game anymore) and for the future. We're allowed a bit of a learning curve I think

I listen to the Rent soundtrack a lot and go "well you know what being trans right now sucks but being trans at the height of the aids crisis would've been way fucking worse" lol rip

Meds! Meds. Antidepressants and antianxiety meds unfortunately don't work for everyone (yet!), but also thank fuck for meds

Progress almost always happens in slow, tiny increments, with a lot of stops and starts and setbacks. You have to always remember that there are always people fighting somewhere, and if they're stopped, there will always be more people to pick up the fight in the future

Obey Me! Nightbringer Lesson 40

I'm gonna start this post by venting a little, so please bear with me ^^"

It's been a rough few months.

The one thing I get the most joy from has also been turning me into a massive emotional wreck.

First, there was the finale of Attack on Titan. No lie or exaggeration, I cried for 3 whole days. And tonight I will be experiencing the same pain all over again since the Dub is scheduled to air.

Then Jujutsu Kaisen... Gojo. Nanami. Need I say more?

To break things up, I thought I would finally sit down and binge watch Fruits Basket. It was the one anime that I was surprisingly able to avoid all spoilers with. And like the fool I am, I thought "aww, this looks like such a cute anime! I bet this series won't be sad."

As I said... I'm a fool lol. But at least I wasn't crying alone. My Mom had watched the entirety of Fruits Basket with me, and she also shed some tears I shared the pain, mwhahaha! >:)

Now, I can add Obey Me! Nightbringer to the list of things that have made me sob like a baby.

This scene specifically :

I was seriously overwhelmed with emotions.

I couldn't stop the tears from welling up in my eyes. I tried my best to choke back my feelings. But I was unable to contain myself, and the ugly sobbing began.

I dunno.... Lucifer showing his genuine gratitude to us is just... so sweet and precious to me.

The part that actually made me cry is him telling us "May the path you walk in life be full of joy and happiness."

Lucifer.... There's literally no way that I could ever be happy without you and your brothers in my life!! T_T

Those 7 boys have been majorly responsible for my joy and happiness since the very beginning, and even though we were supposedly returning to them in the future/present... It still doesn't make saying goodbye to the past boys any easier.

Like... I would have clung onto Lucifer here and cried into his chest while apologizing for crying... But they mean so much to me, I just wouldn't be able to stop myself ; ^ ;

And ohhhhhh boyyyyy! When it came to us calling upon each of the brothers for their power and they each said goodbye to us.... Let's just say I was so happy that I was home alone because I was legit wailing, so much that even my dogs were looking at me like "what the Hell is wrong with you, you weird human?" xD

Then!

Even though I am skeptical, suspicious, and on guard about our "return" to the future/present... I burst into tears again when I read this :

Levi.... please don't cry.... you're making my tears well up again! T^T

And then to make matters even more emotional :

Welcome home! ; _ ;

I'm not sure if I'm just in a phase where I cry easily, or if I'm growing softer as I get older.... But either way, it's clear that my love, devotion, and feelings for fictional characters is more intense than ever before lol

A SUDDEN CHANGE IN REGIME

Note to all the new people I've attracted from the Splatoon community: This post is for the people who've been fans of this blog before this sudden shift in fandoms. This blog is supposed to center around a Henry Stickmin fanstory known as "Altering the Outcome", which involves two OCs, Alter & Violet, two canon characters, Henry & Ellie, and Kyle (yours truly, and these posts usually come from my POV). This is what I normally post, and I'll be honest, I missed doing this.

(The rest of the CSB [ColorStreak Battalion] are currently all glaring daggers into me. I'm sitting in a chair in my room, with the 4 hovering over me with stern looks on their faces.)

Okay, guys. What did I do?

Maybe start with the whole "Splatoon 3" thing? What's going on there?

Yeah. We decide to check out the blog and all of a sudden it's all green.

(sigh) Okay, look guys, I don't think I've told you about this whole thing.

Clearly not. We read your post about this being a thing since somewhere between late Febuary & early March?

And you've been hiding this from us...why?

(I legit have no other choice but to fess up.)

Because I was afraid you guys would laugh at me, alright?! I don't like to admit it, but sometimes I feel like you guys would actually laugh at me for some of the things I do, AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS!!!

(All of them suddenly go silent. For the first time ever, I went ballistic on them. I had to. I had to or else the point wouldn't have gone across.)

Wait...THAT'S why? Kyle, buddy...we would never do that. Not to you.

Yeah. We're not just some OCs you made, we're your friends. And as you've seen in battle, we'd gladly take a bullet for you.

Laughing at the enemies? Yeah, we'll do that, and you'll join in. But you're not an enemy, Kyle, you're a friend.

The Colorstreak Battalion, our little 5-person group, wouldn't be the same without you.

(I suddenly begin welling up in tears, outstrectching my arms for a hug.)

(sniff) Get over here, ya big saps!

(The four of them all group hug me while I'm crying tears of absolute joy. I made this story, and by proxy, them. They're characters in a fangame I made. But this isn't something they were programmed to do. They do this out of their own volition. They were always a bit self-aware, but they've already outright embraced it a long time ago. This hug...it's genuine. Not coded, but genuine.)

Thanks, guys. (sniff) It means a lot coming from you.

Anytime, Kyle. Say, how about letting us in on the festivities?

Yeah! We're totally intrested in this. It's Past vs. Present vs. Future, right?

Well, guess what? We always look to the future as well. So we're with you on Team Future all the way, Kyle.

Yeah. Give us some Inkling weapons, we're ready for some Turf War!

(Drying off the last of my tears, I'm suddenly taken aback in shock. They actually want to join in on this. This was the exact opposite of what I expected them to do, and I love it.)

You guys...want to join in? Like hell I'd say otherwise! Let's do this, together!

YEAH!

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: Anarchistic ColorStreak Rainbow

[thedarkenedkeeper]

So I’m getting caught up on “American Horror Story: Apocalypse” (because, surprise! All 10 episodes were rotting away on the PVR so I FINALLY got around to watching them!) and I just finished Episode 6: “Return to Murder House” and oh. My. GOD!!!!! AHHHHH!!!! I’m so damn emotional right now! My babies! Seeing everyone again is making my heart so full! The feels are REAL! 

[pepperpixel]

Me, after several years of feeling haunted by the fact that I know I used to be able to draw better. And I used to have fun and feel satisfied w what I created. Believing that my art skills and enjoyment deteriorated because of like. Age! Like my brain just rotted over time or something: messes around w settings after re downloading fire alpaca and turns off the toggle for “adjust brush size to pen pressure”. And fUCKING. REALIZING THATS WHAT ITS BEEN THIS WHOLE TIME!?!?!?!? I never ever ever correlated my getting a tablet to my decline in art cuz I was also in a huge depression then and that just seemed more likely to blame! Also cuz the tablet was cool! It made things easier! BUT FUCKING. TURNING OFF THE LIL PEN PRESSURE THING IS LIKE. GAH- IM DRAWING LIKE IM FUCKING 16 AGAIN!!!! LOOK AT THOSE LINES…!! ON THE 2ND & 3RD PICTURE.!!! THE STYLE. IM SHITTING MYSELF..! Like legit gonna cry actual tears of fucking joy about this… I had basically almost given up ever really being satisfied w my art again??? But I fucking….! I finally figured it out!!!!! Holy shit!!!!! * falls down on the floor and dies of relief *

But yeah….. anyway. Aside from the massive art revelation/return to form… This photo set is featuring more of me and Ghastjio’s ocs! Non-homestuck ones this time! They’re scientists doing research and experiments on dreams and the subconscious and such! They’re also def all slightly varying levels of evil/moral dubious… cuz. I cannot resist an evil doctor…. And they’re also. Definitely a polycule gGHG. Cuz. I also can’t resist that shit lol

Yellow = Dr. In

Pink = Dr. Somn

Blue = Dr. Nia

Add them all together! And It equals insomnia! And it took me!!! A ridiculously long time to realize that ghghg- Like several days after ghast first showed them to me lol, but! I got it eventually! That’s all that matters

—single!parent headcanons

part one

mtha thots: the manga makes me really sad and i think children deserve a childhood so i made this to cope

all characters are 18+

Warnings: it’s long but, other than that, none <3

© 2021 all writing content belongs to mythiccheroacademia. do not repost or modify

Shouto Todoroki: 

truth be told, shouto never wanted children 

he knew how important someone’s childhood meant

shouto honestly couldn’t trust himself not to mess it up :(

so imagine his surprise when he came to fall in love with this little boy, no older than six, he found snooping around a dumpster 

it’s actually kind of funny how they came to be bc shouto was 100% put off by the kid

when they made eye contact, they stared at each other like 

shouto:🧍🏻

the boy: 👁👄👁

shouto again:🧍🏻

before the brat blew him a raspberry and tried to run off 

ofc he caught up to him and, despite the boy’s tantrum, the two went straight to the police

and for some reason, todoroki ended up with him in his condo

the first couple of weeks were terrible 

it seemed like Yuuma hated his guts 

shouto let him have his space and only really pestered him when it was time to do the essentials

at midoriya’s suggestion, he’d try and talk to him about his day or how his therapy sessions went, but it was no use 

the boy would tell him not to worry about it and scurry off 

this happened for some time and honestly, todoroki was at his wit’s end 

until one day, shouto realized that it wasn’t that the child hated him, he just didn’t want to be a burden him

then everything clicked 

mustering up the courage, todoroki one day asked Yuu if he’d like to help him make dinner and the way the kid’s eyes brightened up at the chance to be useful made him a bit sad

but he pushed it away in favor for how the boy blossomed as he showed shouto the right way to stir meat stew and make onion rings

at the end, the red n white hero gave him an honest smile and thanked him for his help

Yuuma looked at him for a long time before bursting into tears 

it was the first time shouto had seen him cry in weeks 

it was also the first time they hugged

from then on, it was almost magical how well they clicked 

the boy was exitable and extroverted, todoroki was quiet and reserved 

they were both stubborn to a fault sometimes and that didn’t bode over well during the few disagreements they had but they brought the best out in each other 

shouto made the kid feel safe and secure, always reminding him that anything he did for him was never burdensome 

Yuuma gave the hero a confidence boost and a chance at another type of love he never knew he wanted 

the first time his son called him dad was when todoroki made the adoption official 

Yuuma shyly asked if it was okay that he called him his father and shouto will not admit to the tears he desperately tried to hide from a teasing midoriya and his siblings (ofc he had them there)

no one knows this but todoroki literally had separation anxiety the first couple of years

his child was just fine being with the babysitter but shouto would spend his work days/nights feeling very tense being away from him 

called/texted the kid all the time, left him encouraging sticky notes in his lunch box, and would hug him for at least 3 min before leaving the house

he’s such a mother hen bye

he’s lucky yuu adores him bc he was lowkey doing a lot LMAO

they have movie nights together and geek over manga like nerds 

yuuma cosplayed as roy mustang once and todoroki has an album of pics from that day alone 

todoroki’s the type to randomly bring his son fruit just because 

yuuma regularly slept in shouto’s bed/futon until around 7th grade

as his son got older, and more popular (w the ladies AND gents hehe) at school, todoroki got a little jealous bc yuuma wanted to spend more time with his friends

he was legit hurt the first time yuu canceled on movie night to go to a sleepover 🥺

todoroki moped over it until midoriya told him to knock it off 💀

it’s a shameful quality of his, but shouto will always lie to get his kid out of the stupid shit he gets himself into only bc yuu plays really funny pranks 

has to keep himself from laughing in front of the principle 

they’re both lowkey mischevious asf 

he’ll scold him later tho so it’s okay, he’s responsible™️

shouto always calls yuu “son”

if he calls him by his full name, he’s either sad or annoyed w him

during family gatherings, yuuma is the star of the show bc of his superb cooking skills

he and fuyumi get along great

and surprisingly enough, bakugo adores the kid even though the same can’t be said for todoroki himself 

yuuma wants to open a restaurant and he’s a little afraid of his father’s reaction

little does he know, shouto is ready to hand over his black card at moment’s notice purrr✨

he’s a really supportive father and he has his hiccups, but todo tries his very best and his son makes him impossibly proud every day 

oh and did i mention they wear matching sweaters?

they’re that kind of family

it’s so cute i could die 

Midoriya Izuku: 

midoriya was born and bred to be a father 

change my mind 

i mean look at that face 

that’s daddy material to me 😌

anyways

midoriya has two girls that are about a year apart

due to the immense pressure of being with the #1 hero and an unwillingness to be a mother, his then girlfriend at the time suddenly left him, signing over all maternal rights to the hero 

it just crushed izuku 

he spent weeks trying to look for her and to make it work 

he wanted his girls to have a two-parent household, but she went radio silent 

it was a difficult adjustment 

but deku is the most ambitious and resiliant person on the planet so he was devoted to giving them the best lif he could 

and ofc he had the support of all his friends and his mother 

but there were a lot of ups and downs

mostly downs in the first year being a single parent

at the time, his youngest wasn’t even one whiles eldest was almost two 

and izuku worked a lot 

being #1 meant he was the country’s go-to whenever something happened and he missed a lot of stuff he’d never get to redo 

like his youngest, Maia’s, first word which was “bunny”

and the first time his oldest, Naomi, went to the bathroom by herself 

and izuku will never forget the day he came to pick his kids up after being on a week long international mission

when he reached out for them, they looked at him as if they didn’t know who he was 

izuku spent the entire night crying in inko’s arms 

the next morning, he only had to deliver some paperwork, but everyone noticed the usually chipper hero’s sour mood and stayed clear from his path

even bakugo and todoroki felt chills when izuku passed by 

it was tough, but deku was determined 

he started taking up night shifts so he could be there for his girls during the day

he’d pick them up from inko’s right after work and spend the day playing with them 

izuku stayed up on a dangerous amount of caffeine and will power

there were days he literally passed out from exhaustion, but it was worth it to see them through their milestones 

when Naomi went to kindergarten, he couldn’t stop buzzing around w excitement

he just adored listening her ramble on about what she learned and that persisted on even as she grew

like, she’s a genius

she was his doppleganger in intellect and resilience

she’s def a daddy’s girl and although she’s not as empathetic as her father, they’re very close 

naomi is an excellent older sister and stepped up early when izuku couldn’t always be there 

maia is izuku’s match in personality

she’s very sweet, a bit more extroverted, and compassionate

but pls don’t get it twisted, that girl gives the fam a run for their money 

she’s got izuku’s righteousness but heightened 100x and with a lot more anger

the girl’s got quite the mean mug and she got hands highkey

they both do tbh (i mean, izuku is their dad...)

the amount of fights naomi’s had to back her up in is ridiculous 😭

they’re two peas in a pod tho so if you mess w one sister, you mess w both ‼️

regardless of all that, izuku wouldn’t change them for anything 

he’s the type to obnoxiously kiss them on their cheeks before school

they’ll take turns doing each other’s hair

izuku gets pigtails that he proudly wears to work 

deku has a private instagram that is so filled with those two, sometimes ppl forget it’s his

he def has a “girl dad” t-shirt

he calls them his angels 🥺

i see him getting a tattoo of their names on his arm or something

they’re all cry babies so when they get into arguments, it doesnt last long

both girls went to UA to be heroes and izuku’s heart just soars with pride every day 

he also cried an obnoxious amount and for some odd reason, kept popping up for “demonstrative purposes”

they had to have a family talk so they could tell him to stop babying them in the kindest way possible 

and by that i mean, naomi said it bluntly and maia did damage control lmao

overall, izuku loves those girls more than life and they love him just the same 

raising them was a rollercoaster, but he’d do it all over again in a heartbeat

Sero Hanta:

another one that just looks like he’d be an amazing father

please have my children sir

sero is one of the few that was actually looking to adopt a kid

he came from a large family and desired connection with a family of his own

he tried a for a while, but it never seemed to happen

until he came about a small girl he met on the off chance of passing by her hospital room when he was getting a quick check up

she was one of the children they saved on a mission and when he saw her curled up on the hospital bed that seemed to swallow her whole, his feet moved on their own

the girl, Keiko, was left injured and an orphan, yet despite her circumstances, she was just a joy to be around 

sero spent the rest of visiting time with her and just knew she was it for him

she was very sick so he’d spend his breaks visiting her at the hospital 

keiko was a huge cellophane fan and it just melted his heart 🥺

she’d have a huge smile on her face, unabashedly showing off her missing front tooth, every time he walked in

they’d spend hours just drawing or talking about their day

when sero shyly brought up the possibility of adopting her, keiko could barely contain herself 

she drew him one of her best pieces as a thank you and sero still has it hanging on his mirror to this day ❤️

keiko’s actually quite the artist so there’s many more up there to keep it company 

the adjustment period went smoother than anticipated

the girl had her moments and hanta was getting used to being a 24/7 parent, but it was like they quickly acted as if they had been blood related their entire lives

they are ride or dies for each other LMAO

they don’t argue

like at all

the worst they ever got was when keiko rushed to help her father on the job when she happened to see him get hurt 

sero yelled at her in panic 

it was so startling that they avoided each other for the time being

but a few hours later, sero went and apologized 

and that was that

keiko had frequent nightmares and sero would sacrfice copious hours of sleep so that he could turn on the projecter and give her a run down about every star in the “sky” before she falls asleep 

he actually bought and named a star after her for her first bday with him

sero pats her head a lot and she hates it

he calls her squirt, sport, kid, and princess if they’re having a soft moment

they have an unholy amount of matching onsies 

the kid was already getting to the stage where she wanted to be independent, but she would let her father pick out her outfits sometimes

only bc he put a lot of effort into doing it 

aka, she caught him crying over cute pintrest pics bc he’s a simp

okay but sero really, isn’t much of a crier, but he’s sentimental asf

every milestone is recorded

every school night, he’s there (she was a good kid, so he all but gloats w pride after every visit w the teachers)

any drawing she makes, he has 

he’ll do anything to be there for his daughter so it really crushed him when he couldn’t go to her high school’s father daughter dance 

sero had a mission he couldnt get out of and he was sorely pissed off about it 

keiko assured her father that it was okay and that it was corny anyways

but he could hear the disappointment in her voice 

he made kirishima go with her anyways bc he didnt want her to miss out on the experience 

and you bet your ass that when she came back home, sero was there in a tux with the living room set up to make it up to her 

it is just as cheesy as you think it is, but they’re cute so who cares 

also the way they both can dance is crazyyyyyy

rhythm isn’t even the word

if there was a competition for best father-daughter dance duo, they would win every time! and i stand by that!

they have at least one viral tiktok dance they did together

sero’s not the emotional type, but the first time keiko had a boyfriend he def made a threat or two to him 

it was actually so scary 

anyways

they’re honestly the cutest duo and everyone on the block agrees

 i love it ❤️

get ready to read boy ��

everyone go away this is for the green wolf boy only /srs

imma be completely honest. i was whatsoever, DEADASS NOT expecting a long speech {if anything i kind of forgot we can do that bc im so used to us just dming or vcing bout it and i though u silly goobers already used all ur words on the bday video BUT DAMN WAS I WRONG OKAY.....} another thing to be frank bout is reading this genuinely brought a tear to my eye. NONE FALLING BC IM SUCH A BIG BOY!!! {im lying theres an ocean inside my head i'm drowning in emotions /silly}

but seriously man, words can't express how genuinely grateful i am to have you in my life and just as much be so fortunate to call you one of my closes friends i've ever had in a long time. getting to yap about you bout epic the musical was definitely the first bridge that got me excited to want to talk to you more since i've never heard anyone talked bout it since bc i though it was too niche since i remember getting into it when jorge literally just started it out on tiktok. it blown me away so much and actually the verbally talk about it with you in vc made me all the more happy, BUT ALSO THE MORE NERVOUS HOLY SHIT MAN.... like genuinely i'm SUCH a shy guy reaching out or talking bout fixations with folks is like- still new to me???? this was the first time i was exposed to so many more people liking what i liked that wasn't already started from me {bc i was so lonely i craved to find folks with shared interests but failed and was unfortunate practically my entire life till now - or the few times i could've it was like, frowned upon to be nerdy in public??? i legit got shamed for it}.

like i still remember you asking me to join the small epic groupchat and despite i wanted to scream and say yes, i was SO FUCKING NERVOUS... like it felt i was being taken away to a back alley and i was gonna get jumped THATS HOW PARANOID I AM UIYGDUIY but obviously that didn't happened but i still in someway felt i was being "fake" bc i didn't know the exact lore to epic or had visual representation other than the album designs to grasp and idea what it was about. but again, you still took the effort the help and suggest watching animatics. and despite that was so smart i was so heavily nervous when it came to us planning since im used to folks backing out so bad the idea of just watching simple short videos almost felt impossible and i was almost so sure it was going to die out and i was just going to loose my chance of getting to make friends as planned. but you didn't. you still made sure to MAKE enough time of your day to watch and to be patient even with me. you don't understand hope much of an impact that caused me and boy was i so happy i got myself to push through and release my fear away. even more so when starting to make the SMG4 au with u and knightmare has brought me so much joy i didn't think i would be SO fixated on it. LIKE FUCKING HELL IT WAS ALL I COULD LISTEN TO EVERY FUCKING DAY, THINK ABOUT IN CLASS, SO BAD I HAD TO VERBALLY TALK TO MY BUNNY FRIEND BC MY BRAIN WAS GETTING SO BAD SMG3 HAD TO APPEAR AND DEADASS EXPLODE MY BRAIN I HAD A PHYSICAL REACTION FROM IT YIURGEDSUIGJKDC

but enough bout epic bc thats all we talk about bc of how epic it is and istfg the fucking joke you did on the birthday video MAKES ME LAUGH EVERY TIME I LOVE IT SO MUCH PLEASE SEND ME THAT AUDIO CLIP PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE I NEED TO ANIMATE IT SO BAD YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW OBSSED I WAS WITH IT ON THE FIRST WATCH U FUCKING SLY DOG MAKING AN ODYSSEUS REFERENCE AND LISTENING TO WISDOM SAGA AS I CRY MY EYES OUT GET OUTTTTTTTT !!!!!! 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

but once again, as stated before, you don't understand the joy i fucking had when i found out you were a fan of ISAACWHY HELLO???? FINALLY. SOMEONE WHO LIKES THIS FUCKING GREEN CLUB PENGUIN ASS AS MUCH AS I DO OUHIJFKEDWS and then the fucking volcano eruption when we found out nova was also a fan omfg... we're the issacwhy trio it makes me so happy to say {despite being nova's #1 hater.... ugh.... this bitch /SILLY /J also hello nova if ur reading this LMAOOOO oiuyighjfwd bc i know this bitch might be im betting 5 dollars boy}. bc i deadass found out just by clicking your icon bc i was trying to familiarize myself with everyone within the first week when i made the server. memorizing names, pronouns, fixations, or any lil important notes folks may have in their description that needed to be a must know. AND FINDING FUKIN 3 LIL SMOL LARRY ICONS IN UR DESCRIPTIONS MADE ME DEADASS SCREAM "LARRY?????" CAUSE LIKE.... IM SO HAPPY I'VE FOUND FOLKS INTO THEBOYS {another group youtubers} BUT ISAACWHY WAS ONE OF MY FIXATIONS I GENUINELY WANTED TO FIND FANS OF BC OF HOW CHAOTIC THEIR ENERGY IS AND THE FACT I JUST HAD HORRIBLE BRAINROT I ALWAYS KEPT SAYING REFERENCES TO THEM BUT WAS ALWAYS SO SAD BC NOBODY WOULD GET IT. the joy i get to finally have that wish fulfilled and now getting to reference it finally for once... i can rest peacefully now like wtf OUYKGJHEFWDS like i seriously can't get over it man it makes me so fukin happy and istfg im being dead honest im just yumi fr its INSANE... anyways this guy realized about everything /ref

oh boy got distracted yapping to you in dms but you know what, lets continue that conversation bc HELLO???? SMG9??? UM UM UM I LOVE SMG9 AND SMG10 SO MUCH ITS ACTUALLY GENUIENLY CRAZY LIKE I THINK IM UNDERSTAND WHAT FOLKS MEAN ABOUT TSB BEING IN THEIR HEADS BC BOTH THESE BITCHES COME BACK EVERY ONCE AND AWHILE AND NOW THEY'RE IN MY HEAD I SEE THEM IN MY HEADSPACE ROOM LUIGI DO SMTH GIVE THEM DRINKS PLEASE I MUST TREAT THEM RIGHT I LOVE THEM SO MUCH IM 💥💥💥💥 like i love other folks ocs and ofc think bout them here and there and love it when i get the chance to actually draw them BUT WHEN I SAY THE BRAINROT WAS I REAL I FUKING MEAN IT... AND IDEK WHY OR HOW ITS THESE GUYS SPECIFICALLY... like im normally a numb kind of guy but still know i love things its just sometimes hard to physically express it majorly of the time BUT SOMEHOW THIS IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. the amount of times i had to lock in class bc i was trying to multitask doing my assignment bc it was work time and listening to the playlist to actively listen and piece up the lore was A FUCKING CRAZY TWO HOURS OF MY FUCKING LIFE.... in the most positive way possible of course jajaja i just love how unique and expressive their designs are so much. i think also im just a big plant lover so anything plant related i get really stuck into IM LITERALLY JUST A BUG I SWEAR.... and i think its so fucking cool having this opposite like dynamic with smg9 being more grounded yet a very exhausted and angsty character paired with a WEATHER HELLO??? silly exaggerated fella the fukin meme i can remake is actually crazy i love them so much and when you actually made the fic HELP. I WAS. SO INVESTED IM NOT EVEN KIDDING I WAS SO LOCKED IN IN MY LITTLE VISUAL BRAIN WORLD SEEING IT ALL PLAY OUT I LOVED IT AND WEPT WHEN IT ENDED OUGEDCUHJ. like finally getting around to doing the concept piece for smg9's arrival i was overjoyed. BC I HAD THAT SHIT STCUK IN MY HEAD WHEN U MADE THE FIC AND BEING STUCK FOCUSING ON FINALS WAS HARD NOT TO CRASH AND EXPLODE IHKJEFDCS like its genuinely crazy the fact that i don't even draw these bastards as often as u do for tsb bc thats usually not how i express my interests strangely enough {like fuckin hell im obsessed with fnaf BUT I RARELY EVER DRAW FNAF}, instead, my visual imagination is so strong?? like i just will always constantly find myself thinking about them or since the past year able to professionally formulate a headspace for the silly guys in my head to hangout and manage my emotions, i see- SEE smg9 come by and bro just on the bed sleeping, the floor playing on a switch console, or talking to luigi about plants ITS ACTUALLY INSANE. AND I CAN HEAR HIM TOO WHICH IS EVEN CRAZIER WHICH IS WHY I WAS OBSESSED WITH THE VOICE CLAIMS THAT ONE TIME UGHHH smg10 doesn't come as often as 9 does, but ong when he does he gives me a physical headache {like right now} BC BRO IS CAUSING WIND ISSUES LIKE GET THE FUCK AWAYYYYYY but he makes funny rock jokes so he can stay ig.... why is my brain this way its scarey but so fun thats why im always asking bout chocolate or chips bc i ask luigi to give them when folks come over bc its too overwhelming to think of like bigger food or objects to spawn in my head ITS SO WEIRD IDK IF THIS IS WEIRD its like im playing sims irl theres a desk, bed, and a bug tank for my anxiety centipede that smg3 keeps fucking messing with its so fukin annoying. but also the chocolate and ships is a reference to isaacwhy from one of the group chat podcast episodes bc i remember thinking that was so smart but can also tell what that person is like- like it helps me get a more personal feeling of the character despite them not being real or even knowing them personally bc their fictional HELP okay i know i should probably stop yapping bout these silly guys but honestly i just love them so much and how u extinguish them like it feels like my fav saturday morning cartoon for some reason. they give so much joy the ideas are endless and honestly just a nice motivation booster

OMFG I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO TALK MORE SPECIFICALLY ON THE PLAYLIST - omfg i got a jump-scare bc it said i passed the limit but google said its paragraph HELP.... anyways.... pikmin am i right- nah back to playlist OKAY SO LIEK U GENUINELY INSPIRED ME TO ADD NON-LYRICAL SONGS INTO EVEN MY OWN PLAYLIST MAN. bc like i remember debating bout it way back but went against it bc i didn't believe it would work but when i listened to smg9's HOLY FUCK WAS I WRONG... LIKE IF ANYTHING ITS BRILLIANT??? ITS SO SLY AND VAGUE BUT SUCH A MASSIVE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS SOMETHING SO EMOTIONAL OR IMPORTANT WITHOUT THE NEEDS OF WORDS WITH THE ONLY HINT BEING THE NAME TITLE UGH THE FUCKING ACTUAL SPINE CHILLS I GOT WAS SO COOL personally for me i used music to express smth a lil more different in tsb's but still hold some sort of meaningful message

OKAY ANYWAYS PIKMIN.... I LOVE PIKMIN... I STILL HAVE YET TO REALLY KNOW MORE ABOUT PIKMIN UIGFEHJDCSUIYHJ like i got to find the time to sit and not only watch the lore but also the gameplay as well to understand the full experience as im unable to play it myself. i've always seen pikmin floating bout in my life similar to splatoon too but got nervous getting into it since i was grown up with folks more fans of marvel and sega EVEN CAPCOM and nintendo was more of the punching bag and kid we always had to make fun of sort of ideal. i never really got it but i was too nervous to try getting into it and hide it so i never did. but im so happy that i dont need to by shy anymore and you showing me the silly memes and icebergs has been such a relief and heartwarming and even more so finding out my sister's partner is also a big nintendo fan and i've yapped about pikmin and kirby LIEK HELP I DON'T NEED TO RUN AWAY AND BE ALWAYS STUCK WITH POSSESSED ANIMATRONICS <333 UGIEHFJDSUHKJ it sounds so weird for this to even happen but it did and god im just so happy of the progress i am today since you genuinely helped me be more open to my own interests dude and not have to fear as 13 year old me did

AND HELLO SPYRO??? CAN WE/???? LIKEK???? TALK ABOUT THAT HOLY SHIT I NEVER EVER FIND ANYONE INTO SPYRO OR AT LEAST AS MUCH AS I AM BC I GREW UP WITH IT ON PS2 AND WII BUT ALSO THE LAST PERSON I KNEW WHO WAS INTO IT I KNEW IRL I LOST CONTACTED LITERALLY IN FRESHMAN YEAR OF HIGHSCHOOL LIKE BITCHASS I HAD TO WAIT ALMSOT 8 YEARS TO FIND ANOTHER BITCH WHO LIKES THIS PURPLE ASS DRAGON AS MUCH AS I DO GET OUT..... UITGJYEHFWDSYUKGJEWDS never am i going to remember the amount of emo AMV's i watched as a kid and the dark spyro theories HOLY SHIT BRO.... the love for villainy was so real for me....

anywho lets talk about furries. yes I KNOW you've heard me yapped about this before probably in past reblogs n def in vcs but i still am going to say it again; finding another furry artist in this community made me so happy. bc i was deadass so afraid to out myself bc i was scared of reactive the smg4 community was and i wanted to know the waters before i did anything that i may get bashed with since ofc i know the horrors for being hated to being a feral or anthro artist. hell it was so bad- but maybe good?- i was going to give tsb a fox tail to showcase i did indeed drew animals, but scratched due to paranoia but honestly if i didn't, his story would be SO DIFFERENT. FUK HE PROBABLY WOULD'NT HAVE ONE IF IMMA BE REAL.... but finding someone who had a fursona, WITH WINGS HELP UR ME FRFR THE AMOUNT OF JOY AND EXCITEMENT I HAD AS EVEN LIL ME JUMPED IN GLEE WAS JYST SO AWESOME AND EVEN GETTING TO HAVE UR TH GUH.... fuck even the fact literally one of ur friends actually commissioned me years ago and recognized my art is INSANE.... ursa_minor is a real one ong bro was the reason i got to have an 'excuse' to draw a splatoon and murder drones oc without being cringe bc i was getting money for it oukHUIGEFHJDHUJ

but man... even after all that... despite its actually been less than like half a year i feel like i've known u almost forever with how much we yap and joke a lot. its honestly one of my favorite things of the day and a reminder just how lucky and happy i am to get to have my time used in such a uplifting and positive experience. you have helped me so much mentally neo it's far from an exaggeration. honestly i know i said this literally last night how u do remind me a bit of my brother, but honestly thats how i see you. you feel like such a younger brother to me. even though in a lil way its a bit sad for me since despite i do have a bro irl just ur age we're not very close, having you kind of has healed me from worrying too much about it since i know my brother is struggling with his own stuff and just going thru his emo edgy phase as i did too {literally runs in the family I SWEAR...}. and i honestly want to thank you for that. its just a me thing personally which i rarely ever discuss but its been something i've really seriously wanted to tell you bc just how much of an impact you've honestly made for me man. you are just so energetic and fun in vcs despite even at times i may be muted, i always scream out "NEO!!!" whenever you join just as you do for me. hell, i remember at the very beginning when you would scream my name in joy with that smg3 explosion pfp it honestly made my entire day. never did i ever expected anyone to be so verbally excited to see me join i've kind of subconsciously began to do the same later on. hell i love how expressive you are in calls and in dms bc honestly yEAH i GET YOU i love to add more personality into the way i type bc !!! erm !!! its more funnier but also just more enjoyable to read in my head. and never have i get to meet more people with that same mindset since everyone i knew was just so monotone i'm a bit still in that boat bUTT!! DONT FRET!!! im always going to be silly when i know it calls for me... in which it always does piuOUIGEFWDSUIG I ALSO SAID THIS TOO IN VC LAST NIGHT BUT JUST THE CHILDISH VERBAL WHINES AND GROANS LIKE YES UR STILL ITTY BITTY BABY BUT MY GOD ITS THE MOST FUNNIEST SHIT TO ME AND ALWAYS GETS ME BURSTING INTO LAUGHTER IUYGHEFDW JUST THE ANNOYED TONE IS JUST A FUNNY COMEDIC GAH AND THAT "YAY!!!!"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMM TIREDSMASHBROS!!!

note for tomm under the read more... lalala💥💥 @tiredsmashbros

ohhh tomm. tomm tiredmashbros, oh do you even know what has happened this, what, past half a year and counting? There has been so, so much improvement these past few months, whether that was to be art or even being able to grow the confidence to actually make a discord server and how well it is and how active it is to this day!!! It’s genuinely felt like it’s been so long, but truly only has been maybe about. since september so like 4 months maybe of the discord server? and so much has happened since then.

Onto the actual much deeper depths of paragraphs, you genuinely have changed my life in ways that I don’t think I could even achieve. Many days on vc’s, joking about the most random things, to the (about) most unexpected things, late night vc’s, the silly sleepover vc’s (technically late night... but shhhh), your paragraphs here, your just genuinely amazing self and personality. Even if you’re just another person in this world, I think you’re some of the best among everyone that I could’ve had the pleasure of getting to meet and know you.

I always loved the times when we vced and went “hey it’d be funny if we watched this video” then did that or, mainly, plan ahead and all. The pikmin iceberg (even if i fell asleep. whoops.), isaacwhy ltlvc, epic the musical, and so much more probably HSJDNSJ. I’ll always remember the first vc I was in with you, or at least the one that I think is the first since I think we both were muted then eventually unmuted JSIDJSSJ I still don’t remember who was all there... i think it’s really funny that like 1-2 months after that, we vced so much and literally couldn’t remember who was there in the first vc JSAKJSKDJD i think that vc was when we had that silly “IM NOT A TYPER” or something i think... I DONT HAVE THE ORIGINAL IMAGE SAVED RN JAHDJDSJ 💔💔💔 and i sounded in such despair because it was like 1 or 2 am for me and i had to be quiet... I always absolutely LOVE our vc’s together, even if i’m caught, i typically don’t actually feel that bad since it’s just like. augh. i have no idea how to explain it💔💔 but yeah 💥💥💥 —> EDIT HERE... LTIERALLY TALKING TO YOU IN DMS AND YOU LITERALY HAVE JT ON HAND. THE IM NOT A TYPER. BROOOOO IM GONNA GET YOU

The surprise you gave me for my birthday and the fact that you did an entire PARTY IN THE SERVER ???? dude i was genuinely so gobsmacked, even if i was late to it NSKDNSKAJA... there was so much going on, i’ll be so fr i literally can barely remember it other than you asking my favroite scene and saying flowerfield sunset and then some bit later you surprised me with the fanart of neo like GUH?????? oh my GOS AJAJSNSNbut even just the MERE IDEA of having a birthday party and the fact that you wanted to do one for me was so surprising and i’m so genuinely hyped for yours like GUH. I’m so HSJSNSJSJSKSKNDJD

as you already know, the drawing above took about 12 hours and 30 minutes to fully finish. honestly, to my first fanart of tsb to this one is just amazing and i wouldn’t be able to see such improvement if it weren’t for you, for your amazing lore of tsb (i will yap about this later...), stealing some of your silly techniques here and there, and so much more. i’m just. baffled at the thought of being here with your birthday today.

oh and your ART. oh my GOODNESS. Where do i even START. for one, i know for a FACT i have stolen silly little things out of your style because of how unique and silly it is and how i do this with all of my friends because i genuinely appreciate and love everything that everyone makes,,, i especially LOVE, oh my goodness do i LOVE how you do your coloring and shading. it’s so unique in a way that works so damn well with how you do your lines, whether it’s sketchy or not, the outlines, everything bro. the rendering gets me the most. you WITNESSED me STRUGGLE to recreate it because i really wanted to try out and do a piece more in your style of things!! i do want to say it had been actually so fun doijg that... i should do it again lalalala... BUT ANYWASY!!!!! i’ve always just. oh my god. LOVE and just BUSHSURHEJSNA i just love how do you comics bro,.... no matter if they’re the ones like your final or the ones like the memories tsb lore... and especially the SPEED YOU GET THESE DONE AT ???? BRO IM SO JEALOUS IN THE BEST WAY POSSINLE... i don’t think i’ll ever stop looking up to you bro...

and now the lore. oh my Lore. Lore lore lore lore . im gonna gET YOUUUUUUU. i’m so INVESTED in tsb’s lore... the creation of this whole universe with cartoony characteristics (it’s literally just. HOW DO I EXPLIJA IT ITS BASISLY LIKE JUST A CARTOON WHDJSNS AND I LOVE IT), pipedream, watchman, the mysterious feeling, the character development. bro EVERYHTING. i cant BELEIVE you hide so much shit in the tiniest things, make entire comics out of what look like such simple asks but no your ass is over here producing COMICS for this bro..... i’m so jealous oh my GOD...... there’s so much i can think of but it feels so little of what we actually know (confirmed) so far... also i see you editing the playlist... your ass is NOT SLICK!!!

comsider all of these paragraphs and everything i’ve said to you already in vc as revenge for all the genuine most kindest paragraphs i’ve read in my life in the reblogs of tsb fanart... guh.... also off topic from this, i realized this is the first time you’ll see me draw emmet oh my god....

i’m so sure i have more to say but my ass actually cant think of anything brooooo.... maybe i’ll send you paragraphs in dms when i think of it and actually remember it GUH.... OH OH WAIT WAIT ALL THE JOKES THAT WE’VE MADE. dude i’m always just being so silly in vc and i think it’s really silly and comedic when you’re over there making silly little doodles and i just go “you should draw tsmg4/smg4 with long hair/smg34” or other alike things.... i don’t think i’ll also ever live down the times when i fell asleep on vc and you were there for i think all of them except maybe 1 ? i have no clue... bro your voice genuinely so calming i’m gonna fall asleep again some day 😭😭

okay enough yapping about that i THINK...., when I first found you, it was literally from the lipbite part 1 comic 😭😭 and i was like “oh hey, i actually kind of really like this person’s art!!” so yk. i followed you!!! if i told my past self that i’d be sitting here right now, typing all of this out, they wouldnt believe me. I’m genuinely just so baffled at the mere thought of being here and being able to call you a friend. hell. i’d even say best friends / close friends bro... i cannot even fathom the thought of that in the past, yet, here i am, able to call you a friend that i talk to about regularly i’d say.

I want to say it again; Happy birthday Tomm, I hope you have one of the best birthdays in your life and thank you for everything.

-Neo 💙

also,,, here’s a silly meme

part 1 of 2 ... i mean. who said that!!!!

part 2 here

[nightingtalehearts]

2Ha Thoughts.

I honestly applaud Chen Feiyu for taking on the role of Mo Ran. It's really hard to act out his character, so I said to myself that I wouldn't have any high expectations for the incoming live drama adaptation. Most people think that Feiyu will act out 3 versions of his character - Mo Ran 0.5, Mo Ran 1.0, and Mo Ran 2.0 - but for me, I like to think that there are 4 different ones.

SPOILERS AHEAD!! BE WARNED!!

First, he'll act out as the infamous Taxian-jun, who is a savage, bloodthirsty, and lustful mound. He is quick to anger and won't hesitate on killing anything that's on his path (except umm..of course, Chu Wanning hehe). This version is the evil form of his emotions, the one that the flower brought out, and twisted himself so hard that he would be horrified by the things he've done if he had any left sanity in him. (2Ha readers would, of course, know this as we experience his thoughts and emotions as he was reincarnated in his second life later on.) Everything this person did was on the image of his supposed lover, Shi Mei. He thought he dearly loved him so held everyone, most especially Chu Wanning, in contempt after Shi Mei passed away.

Second, he'll act out as Mo Weiyu. In this version, he is a disciple of Chu Wanning, the Yunheng Elder, and he is also a cultivator and an acquaintace to others, such as Ye Wangxi and Nangong Si. People see him as a person with filial respect (which WE know will be ironic since he fell in love with his shizun later on, for goodness' sake 😂) and average skills - he doesn't have a spiritual weapon yet, nor does he have good calligraphy or communication abilities. He is a hardheaded person, as we can see from his vehement denial on many things, including his affair with Rong Jiu. At this point, he is slowly "falling out of love" from Shi Mei and he begins his path towards redemption, looking for things and silver linings in every situation.

Third, he'll act out as Mo Ran, which subjectively, is the hardest role yet. Even I can't explain him this well because this version of his character is so complex. It can actually be divided into two parts. The first part: as a child, in his heart, he desperately craves and needs love. Mo Ran was the child that loved his mother, who named her as the first person that he liked the most in the world. He was the child who saw the hope and joy in everything despite all the pain and hurt that the world gave him. He was the kid that was beaten down to the dust, yet when he recived food from a stranger, he held the latter dearly in his heart, grateful for his blessings. He's the teen who entered Sisheng Peak, who immediately picked Chu Wanning because he said that he looks the gentlest and the most easy-going. He's the person who only had the purest love for Chu Wanning, and he's also the person who died just to protect him. (For me, this version of him died when he made Shi Mei take him instead of Chu Wanning. At that point he slowly became Taxian-jun, a puppet molded by Shi Mei.) And let's not deny it: just like how Mo Ran unknowingly loved Chu Wanning here, the latter also unknowingly loved him too. As of that point, they didn't "fall in love" with each other, but they were each other's light - they both gave each other the love they both deserved, so at most, they were each other's precious treasures.

The second part is on his next life. He is now known as the cousin of Xue Meng, the adopted nephew of Madam Wang & Xue Zhengming, the sect brothers of A-Mei and A-Meng, and the unruly disciple of Chu Wanning. At this point, he realizes that he may not have loved Shi Mei that deeply as he thought, but take note that he doesn't think that he is in love with his shizun yet. In the contrary, at this point, he is still adapting to his new circumstances, and he is learning new things as well as patching up misunderstandings. From his past life, his personality drastically changes, as shown from the immense change in spiritual weapons, from Bugui to Jiangui. This goes to show that even if they are the same person, he is a breaker that can lead himself to a different path. (Readers would also be giddy when they find out that Jiangui is similar to Tianwen, which symbolizes the deeply encased love he has. It also symbolizes that Mo Ran is an oblivious idiot periodt.)

Mo Ran is also the version who was conflicted by his own emotions. He is the person who begins to understand and notice some things, the person who finds out that his shizun was protecting not only him, but also everybody all along. It is he who sees Chu Wanning truly, and he notices that despite all the harsh wards and cold persona that the latter has, deep inside, he has a soft heart. It's he who notices everything that went wrong in his previous life, and he's also the person who's confused on his past actions. After Chu Wanning died, through Xue Meng drilling it into his brain, he found out that he was protecting him from the shadows, going as far by carrying him through more than three thousand steps to save him. (catch me crying in the corner I CAN'T WITH CHAPTER 97 HUHUHU) He's the person who regretted deeply.

Finally, the last version he'll act out is Mo-zongshi. This version started after the death of Chu Wanning, and also when he was about to go to the underworld. At that point, he saw all the instances where his shizun showed his love. He saw the wontons scene, in which he tried his best to assure his shizun that he doesn't need to be sorry, because on that specific day, the very reason why he was whipped, was because he stole that flower just for Chu Wanning, him. (btw all the symbolisms in this novel ARE INSANE like the flowers?? it could be for either the one mentioned or the ones Shi Mei planted. let's not mention the food: wontons, bowl of soup, bowl of congee, EVEN THE DAMN HOTPOT) He's the person who put back the pieces of the one he loves, brought him back to life, and waited five years for him.

He's a man in grief. He's a man in love.

While he waited for Chu Wanning to wake up, he now became the person that he very much wanted to be when he was younger: a hero. Now, he was Mo-zongshi, a famous cultivator known for his strength and bravery. He took on fights and got injured, but he never once stopped because he did it all for his shizun, to make him proud. Unconsciously, because of his yearning (CATCH ME CRYING AGAIN the quote?? "To yearn unwittingly breaks the willow branch." nOO), he copies Chu Wanning, down to his handwriting, his style of fighting, his outfit, and the way he looks. The person that's deeply in his heart is shown outside, so much that even Nangong Si mistakenly thought that he was Chu Wanning. Later, after Chu Wanning wakes up and after certain circumstances, he realizes that he was and still is in love with him all along, not Shi Mei.

At this point, Chu Wanning also falls in love with him. He saw the goodness in his heart, the strength and bravery he had, and the kindness he showed towards others. Aside from the bonus brownie points which is Mo Ran's looks (not blaming shizun, our husky is too good-looking!!), they now resolve their misunderstandings and their relationship turns deeper. When Mo-zongshi finally confesses...incoming fluff all around.

But like the Mo Ran version, his ending is way too sad. He deserves to know that it wasn't his fault that he turned out this way. It wasn't his fault that he turned out to be evil and hurt his lover. I know this, you know this, all readers know this, Chu Wanning knows it, but he doesn't, which is the most painful thing ever, because how much does it hurt for you to think that you abused the man you love in your past life? I was quite literally sobbing when he mentioned that Chu Wanning was his "God", his dragon, who had come to save him even if he felt like he didn't deserve it. He died, and he was the person who Chu Wanning mourned over, because it wasn't his fault, it never was.

(...i'm so empty inside...chapter 279...that chapter legit suffocated me due to my tears...)

But at the end, all those versions of him are, at core, the same. They may not show it similarly, but they are all strong on their beliefs, they are all stubborn and determined, they all love deeply and fiercely, immensely passionate and protective over the ones they love, and they are all a good person, if you look deeply into his heart.

Through Taxian-jun's dreams and his protection of his lover's corpse, through Mo Weiyu's determination on his redemption, through Mo Ran's regrets and understanding, and through Mo-zongshi's grief and love, it can be said that this character is one that you couldn't help but love. It's been so long, but his character really stood out to me from the many novels I read. This character is complex, with different versions of himself, but at the end of the day, it's still the person we love: our very own husky A-Ran.

[saintobio]

How could he find joy to start his day once he was no longer with you?

He could die today and not be surprised, but losing you through death would kill him a million times worse.

Is this foreshadowing, because I don't want it. 🥺

There's something that's been on my mind for a while now. S*r*'s made a lot of threats directed at YN for a couple of chapters now. Even Gojo's started to worry about what that crazy girl would do that he started asking his bodyguards to follow YN if he's not around. There's a lot of red herrings right now: Nana's ☠️. Eula. Naoya. Heart disease. Pregnancy. S*r*.

My soul is telling me that S*r* is still the threat (probably unfounded because of my intense dislike of her). I don't know if S*r* will actually do anything.. but a cornered animal who is desperate enough is ready to fight viciously to the end. She wholeheartedly believes that YN corrupted Gojo and stole him from her. She's already shown violence towards Gojo when he broke up with her, who knows what she'll resort to when she finds out (it's only a matter of time) that YN's pregnant.

On another note, there's another thing that I'm still curious about: the rings. In a previous ask I sent, you mentioned that Gojo will have another vulnerable 3 AM moment. YN and Gojo are finally talking. All (most of) the secrets are laid out on the table now (still need to address the real purpose of the marriage—I don't know how YN will handle this heartbreak). There's something significant about YN being the one to hold on to both rings (right now). And I feel like.. when Gojo gets his ring back or when YN returns his ring to him, whether it be to stay together to to separate, it will be a bittersweet, cathartic moment for the two.

Anyway, I can't say enough as to how much I love Sincerely, Not and what a ride it has been to follow it. I've sent you enough rambles (I'm so sorry!!); I hope you enjoy your well deserved break! I'm sending you love and hugs and whatever the hell pastry you like.

Yo wait a second.

When you said you weren't sure if it was going to be the same YN in SN2, is it because YN will carry the baby to term but then like.. shit goes down and you know terrible things happen?

Like is she going to ask Gojo to choose their child over her? Omfg. I can't do this. I'm making myself sad.

Also I have a feeling it's going to be twins. I dunno why. The constant flashbacks to Child!YN and Child!Gojo made me think that "aww they have such a good childhood" only to be ruined by unfortunate circumstances.

Maybe with the twins, a bb boy and a bb girl, it's like the universe trying to fix the shit that happened to YN and Gojo. They'll get to see their children live and grow up in a happy, healthy, loving home. With both parents (if you know.. YN doesn't you know).

Aiite. I'm stopping. I'm crying again. NO. WHY. WHY GOD WHY.

— 🦈 Anon

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

The way I screamed and cried while reading this chapter. SAINT. HELP. SEND THE POLICE.

I have to gather my thoughts but holy shit. You've outdone yourself (as always). The flow, the pacing, the raw emotions. Yo I felt panic when Gojo started panicking.

I don't usually shed legit tears when I'm reading angst (you've trained me since Love, Always you genius bastard), but going through this with Gojo... I don't know what happened but there were ninjas cutting onions in my house man.

Now please go enjoy your break! Go drink water (or booze if that's your fancy), maybe even do a little skin care (go borrow Gojo's black card hahahah).

Thank you once again for a beautiful story.

idk where to start there are so many theories sdjsn but thank you for sending this in shark anon <33 hmmm gojo twins 👀 imagine a lil version of them that would be sooo cute :((

[stargazer-balladeer]

Hello! May i request a headcanon for : Goro, Ryuji ,Akira and Yusuke x a pregnant s/o? Like how each of them would treat their repesctive significant other when they are pregnant?

“For the love of a child” [Persona 5]

Characters Included: Goro Akechi, Ryuji Sakamoto, Akira Kurusu & Yusuke Kitagawa + F! Reader

Notes: adhdhevsgz this is too cute— i got carried away btw 👀 Hope ya’ll like it!

Warning: none

Goro Akechi

When he finds out you’re pregnant, he would be initially worried. I mean, he grew up in a not-so-friendly environment. And have you met his father?? So yeah, he has every right to be worried-

But if you reassure him that he’ll not be like his father. He would calm down and get excited about it. He will try to calm his excitement but he can’t help but hug you because he can’t contain it-

He will treat you like glass. He would research on pregnancy so that he knows what you and he should do during this time period. You two would go to every doctor appointment schedule. Even though he might be busy, he would always make time to go these appointments.

As much as he wants you to relax, he knew that his efforts will be futile because you will do as you please. So he makes you promise you’ll be careful while doing things. Though he would make your tasks easier by already cleaning the ones you can’t reach 👀

Akechi is aware of how pregnant people behave. So he won’t be surprised when he sees you going from laughing to crying to screaming at him. In fact, I think he would find it funny on how fast your mood can change-

Akechi would rub your stomach, especially if its starting to bulge. He would softly talk to them as you two lay in the bed. He would do this if he has a hard and stressful day. On ordinary days, he would feel embarrassed to talk to your stomach so he resorts to just rubbing it.

He is fully-prepared when you went to labor. So when you started to scream, he’s already grabbing the bag that is filled with the things needed and carry you to the car to get to the hospital. Honestly, he might panic a bit but still maintain his cool as he explains to the nurses that you’re about to give birth-

He’ll be by your side as you’re giving birth. He might wince in pain when you hold his hand tightly but wouldn’t complain about it. Akechi’s heart would burst with pride and joy when he hears his child’s cry.

You can see literal tears of joy in his eyes as he sees his child and holds it. He’s very careful in holding them. When the child opens their eyes, Akechi knew right then and there that he’ll protect his child with every fiber in his body.

Ryuji Sakamoto

Ryuji’s mind literally stopped working when he heard that you’re pregnant. Like he’ll be staring blankly at you or the pregnancy test in his hand. His mouth keeps open and closing, it almost makes him like a fish actually- basically, you broke him 🙃

Ryuji would only snap out if you slap him, hard, in the face or arm. He would blink before a grin overtook his face as he hugs you tightly. Before promptly letting go and panicking when he realized that his action might’ve hurted his baby. You would need to calm this eccentric guy down-

You swear that you’re already taking care of a baby whenever Ryuji tries to do something for you. He tries okay? But he isn’t that good. He’ll always want you to rest and always be there when you need him to be. Whenever you have a doctor’s appointment, Ryuji tries to be there on time but sometimes, lady luck can be quite mischievous at times 👀

Ryuji would most likely scream at you when he finds out that you’re still doing your daily tasks. This would result in you two arguing on whether or not you should be working. The end result is Ryuji admitting defeat, but makes a promise with you that you’ll be extremely careful-

Ryuji is always surprise whenever you’re mood changes, like no joke. He would legit flinch when you’re screaming at him, one moment you were laughing and the next thing is that you’re screaming at him-

He would be hesitant in rubbing your stomach really. His mind is filled with questions like “what if i press too hard?” “What if i accidentally kill our baby?!”. You would need to calm him down and place his hand on your stomach. His eyes would brightened up if the baby kicks- (this guy is so fucking adorable—)

As much as Ryuji wants to be fully-prepared like Akechi, he can’t. Atleast, his procrastinating ways don’t want to. It isn’t until the last minute that he’ll start preparing- when you’re literally about to give birth of your baby that he starts to prepare- so imagine the chaos of him just shoving everything he deems important in a dufflebag and then rushing to the hospital- the nurses and doctors would probably need to calm him down.

Ryuji would definitely complain a bit if you squeeze his hand too hard but wouldn’t mind it. He’s just horrified at the sight of a baby literally coming out of you- he might pass out from it.

When he comes to, he’s already in a different room (how he got here, he didn’t want to know-). When he turns his head to the bed, the sight before him made his heart melt. You were sitting with your newborn baby in your arms, with a soft smile on your face. He would slowly go to you while looking at the baby. You literally have to force him to hold the baby because this guy would overreact and start imagining the worst-case scenarios- when he does finally hold the baby, he would honestly cry at how precious his child is.

Akira Kurusu

When Akira finds out you’re pregnant, he would be surprised but quickly recovers as he moves towards you and hugs you. He would have a soft smile on his face as he coo at you of how two will be amazing parents and how spoiled they’ll be when their finally born-

This boy is so chill, like he’s probably the calmest among the boys. It might not seem like he’s excited when you announce your pregnancy, he is, I promise. Inside, everything is going off like fireworks. He just can’t believe that he’ll be a father.

Akira is actually knowledgeable in this stuff, despite not having siblings. He knows what willl happen, what he and you should do and all that stuff. He will join you in every appointment and makes sure to never miss any.

He doesn’t mind that you’re still doing your daily task, though he would reprimand you if you’re trying to reach something in the ceiling while stepping on a chair. Akira would be careful with you, but he knows that you can handle yourself so he didn’t really worry. He’ll help you with some chores like cleaning, laundering, cooking and others.

Akira is a patient guy, which is actually good because your mood can shift from being angry to happy to sad in seconds. He honestly finds it amusing. He also found a technique in calming you down, he will just pull you towards him and cuddle with you, and viola! You’re okay 😃

Akira rubs your stomach long before the bulge even appears, it became a habit of his now. He will softly sing to it as he holds you close to him, whilst still rubbing your stomach. Sometimes, he will tell stories to the baby while also talking to you.

Like Akechi, he is prepared if anything happens. So like when you started screaming about giving birth, all he has to do is carry the bags to the car (yes he can drive) and carry you in and off you two go- like I said earlier, he’s the calmest among the four. So he’ll calmly explain to the nurses and doctors (but theres a hint of panic in them-) that you’re about to give birth-

He doesn’t mind if you’re literally squeezing the life out of his hand. He might encourage it even- he deems it fair considering you’re literally giving birth a baby and he’s only dealing with you squeezing his hand- so it seems fair. His heart would burst when he hears the baby - his child - crying.

Akira would smile brightly as he holds the baby in his hands. He would coo at them while giving it to you so that you can hold them. At the sight of you, tired from giving birth, while holding the baby, he made a mental promise to himself that he would protect the two most precious things in his life.

Yusuke Kitagawa

Yusuke would be confused at first. Pregnant? With a baby? How does that work? You would have to explain to him about it then he’ll get it. He’s honestly worried at first, I mean, he didn’t have the best childhood to begin with- he can hardly eat before-! How does one expect him to be able to take care of a baby when he couldn’t even take care of himself?

You need to reassure him that he’ll be a wonderful father in order to calm him down. The restless thoughts wouldn’t leave his head immediately, but your words manage to make it disappear momentarily at this moment. Then he’ll be a bit excited to see his child.

He honestly doesn’t know how pregnancy works so he might research it a bit and/or ask his group of friends, who were kind enough to tell him about it while congratulating him (“yay! inari finally has the balls-!” — futaba). He would try his best to remember all of your doctors appointment but he might get too caught up with his work that he might forget about it. He’ll apologize to you if that happens.

Yusuke tries his best to help you rest by doing all the chores but it ends up in a even more disaster, so in the end, you two will have to work together. As much as he wants you to rest while you’re pregnant, he is also aware of his own incapabilities so he’ll seek your help.

At first, he would flinch and be confused when you’re mood swings started to happen. He honestly didn’t know what to do when you started to cry, and when he went to touched you, you suddenly got angry. This poor boi didn’t really know what to do- but he slowly got used to it as days go by. But he still flinches when you get angry at him—

Yusuke would stare at your bulge with amazement, silently wishing he could paint you right there and then. So when you ask if he wants to feel the baby’s kicks, he didn’t hesitate to put his hand on your stomach, slightly rubbing it. His eyes would widen and sparkle when he felt the kick, looking at you and making you chuckle at how adorable he looks.

It depends if Yusuke remembers to prepare things or not, if not, chaos. If yes, yay, to the hospital you two go. He’s not panicked at all really, he’s also calm like Akira. He would calmly explain to the nurses and doctors while you scream in pain behind him-

He doesn’t mind or care if you’re crushing his hands. He’s more fixated at the scene before him- the fact that a small human is about to go out of you. What wonders. He stares until he hears and sees his baby. He would smile softly at them, wishing he could hold them right there.

Yusuke would have the most softest and calm look on his face as he gazes at the baby, and when he holds them, he would coo at them. Already planning to teach them how to paint in the future. He also made a silent wish to them that he would try his best to shield them from people taking advantage of them and using them-

BKPP Moment House Japan - Lost and Found

So I am still trying to process the digital performance. I watched during the US timeslot so of course tons of spoilers were out. Everyone was talking about crying and I thought. Yeah...right....I can't see myself crying. The minute I saw PP in tears on that table singing Fake News I LOST IT LOL!! Look I was a hot mess all most to the end.

I want to speak honestly here and I was coming off of the weird vibes from the live earlier. We aren't used to seeing them out of sync. I am not reading into it, just when your comfort couple seems uncomfortable it messes you all up. Anyway I think emotions were high all around going into this concert.

I was putting together a cheat sheet for my friend who is going to watch it with me and I don't think I realized how sad all their songs are. No wonder we were all bawling our eyes out.

Honestly the end felt so sad for me. I know everyone was saying Wedding vibes and I get that but also NO LOL for me it felt like a goodbye or some sort of ending. I dunno they didn't really do a ton of press on it to talk about the concept. I would love to have heard more so I'm not filling in blanks that aren't there.

Anyway, other than it wrecking I was trying to think of my fav performances. Honestly I loved everything the ones that stick for me are:

Fake News - First of all it's been a while since I read the lyrics to this song. I was looking them up for my friend and this song is devastating. Have you got all you want? Are you happy now that my heart is shattered? Why pretend to love me when you don't? Good lord what a gut punch of a song. PP was phenomenal and the direction of the club setting was perfection. I cried my face off.

Feels Like A Year - I was surprised by this one. I don't really know the original by Jayler and Ice. I really like it and although I don't think their performance actually matched the lyrics I just really enjoyed their fun playful approach. We didn't get much happiness in this so I liked seeing them smile. Billkin stood out in this for me. Not just his voice but he seemed so light and free. I am not used to his cuddly side. We don't get to see it with PP that often. He's usually guarded in some way but he was all in on this performance and it was refreshing.

Lost in Translation and Once and Forever - This whole car sequence was so beautiful but BILLKIN'S VOICE! The choices he made in singing these songs was so lush and beautiful. He really is insanely talented. His voice is so calming and full and his tone is exact but also warm. It felt so intimate and raw and I just do not understand how they are able to create so many moments.

Coming of Age - OK so I am going to double down. This did not give me wedding vibes unless this is the saddest wedding ever. There were no smiles. No fond looks. It was earnest and raw but it felt like they were working through and letting go of a lot of stuff. Billikin had a vice grip on PP's hand. I have never seen him hold on so tight. I dunno what we witnessed and what that was or even how to feel about it. Only they know but I just didn't feel joy as I would in a wedding. It felt more like closure or resolution. I don't know I feel like an outlier cause everyone seemed so giddy and I legit feel sad when I watch it and not happy sad just sad sad.

I am thankful I got a chance to watch and I hope they have other singing projects in the future. I'm curious to see where they take their careers. There is so much potential but I am also aware that things can go in all sorts of directions. I guess that's what Coming of Age is about. You just don't know what could be next or if it leads you further apart or closer together. You just need to stay connected and not lose sight of each other. I know nothing about their private relationship but their bond is crystal clear. The sort of magic they make together is unparalleled. It's why we keep coming back. I hope for nothing but happiness for them selfishly for me I want more shows and songs but if they need a break or choose a different path I am good with that too.
