*sobbing about how maybe my parents aren't that bad and I'm overdramatic and stupid and should just suck it up because really they didn't do anything terrible*
people online: Horrid Henry's parents are awfully abusive and they're the worst parents in cartoon media, they're bad parents
me:
#mine#I'm just. hmbmbmbntjgjg okay#I guess that inspires confidence?#like Henry's parents kinda just yell at him a lot... even when he's being good they blame him for things#and people online are like that's abusive#and then my parents were the same#and also worse in some areas-#if anything I'm less like Henry though. that would be my brother#I'm pretty sure he's got a whole complex about being blamed for things#and treated like he's the worst#while I'm like Peter. the good child. the golden child#and I always hated seeing my brother get treated like that#like my mom will just trash talk him the second he leaves the room#talking about how she wants him dead#and turn to me and pressure me into agreeing#and then probably remark on how good I am for not being Like That#... I should rewatch Horrid Henry 😍#I think I'll look at it with fresh eyes#as a kid I watched it just thinking that they were really unfair to Henry sometimes#I didn't love the parents but I didn't think they were THAT awful either

Luke and Leia would not be the same people if they had grown up with their bio parents. If they had grown up with their bio parents, they would've grown up in the suburbs. Luke is like that because he grew up as a gay kid in the middle of nowhere tuning up 20-year-old cars he could then drive around without a proper licence while five different gangs roamed around. Leia is like that because she was raised by people in their forties who were on the radical left. They are not the same.
#listen up I was raised by parents who were in their twenties when I was born#while my siblings are being raised by parents who are in their fifties rn#we are not the same lmaooo#sw#Luke Skywalker#Leia Organa#Owen Lars#Beru Whitesun#Bail Organa#Breha Organa

do people who have listened to taz balance but not graduation Know that it was HEAVILY IMPLIED that lup and barry eventually adopted a lil sorcerer child who got disowned by his family for his natural necromancy magic, and they taught him how to use his powers for good and were overall great parents that he looks back on fondly
(and said child grew up to be a dimension-hopping lich, caretaker of the dead, and very sweet adoptive father of a major npc)
#eliot posts#taz#the adventure zone#taz balance#taz graduation#lup taaco#barry bluejeans#blupjeans#like they never specifically say ''my parents are barry and lup'' so it's left up to interpretation but#he says he came from another world other than nua (nua is the name of the grad world like faerun is the balance world)#he says both his parents were highly skilled necromancers that ''travelled'' a lot because of their work#he says that inter-planar travel runs in the family#and he likes to bake#also travis apparently said on a livestrean that he got something carved by magnus for his daughter#it's a fun little easter egg for balance enjoyers but kept vague enough where it's like. you don't have to know about balance to enjoy it#anyway tho it's adorable cuz he talks about how much of a positive impact his parents made on him#and how he wanted to emulate them when raising his own daughter#and he's a good dad and his daughter loves him (also she is an absolute delight i love her#and like the only older adult to look at our college-aged protagonists and be like#''yeah it's messed up that you have to deal with all of this you're so young you're the same age as my child i will help however i can''#like balance easter egg aside gordy is one of my fav graduation npcs (behind his daughter rainer who is my fav)

Angel Dust Turns Human Pt8
Pt1 Pt2 Pt3 Pt4 Pt5 Pt6 Pt7
IM SO SORRY FOR THE QUALITY OMG💔 this is so embarrassing; I was uploading the images through my laptop (cuz it's more efficient), and I thought it would look the same on my phone; I guess not☹️...I PROMISE it looks better when you press the images (IM SO SORRYYY😓!!!)
Anyways, it's confirmed now! Angel was deffo a cannibal: like father like son🫡. Idk if I'll explore any further on this topic - as I don't think it'd be something angel would prefer to delve any further about (which will be shown), however just know that he did eat humans unknowingly before knowingly🤫! The first time he eats a human is the exact moment Alastor decided he'd keep the boy to himself once and for all: a declaration🙂!
BEFORE ANYONE ASKS!! Ik vaggie asking Angel about the human thing seems abrupt, but she's a smart gal - also Alastor totally revealed the cannibalism through the joke he told so she was deriving from that and Al's whole behavior going on w Angel‼️ Sorry if the pacing seems rushed, I've just been😮💨😮💨
Don't judge me for how I drew the food on Angel's plate; I know it literally looks like a lump of shit, but pity me for Idk how to draw food😐...
Sorry this part was short, but I hope you liked it!!!♡
!Taglist: @diffidentphantom @cloversnstrawberries @birthrightversemain @dawn-sky-collective

I just get rlly worried about my laptop glitching so I try to be cautious w the size of my canvas☹️#I just dont want the thing to erase a whole page cuz Idk if I could survive that again tbh😓#But i FINALLY finished this part: I told myself Id finish today#Hint hint: Angel gets in an arguement w someone...I think! Idk I write as I go on haha!#Alastor rlly did enjoy Angel loving the same food as him - in a way it told him that they were practically made for eachother!#Father and son: both cannibals YAYAYA!!#After Alastor died - Angel didnt eat people anymore nor did he actively try even when he was butchering them up#Hed think about it! But. Well. It just seemed like a very personal familial thing he did w sir rather than alone: it made him sad now

Ice was the one to teach Bradley to drive.
They found a quiet parking lot, and he slowly but clearly walked bradley through the functions. (he learnt in a manuel). Ice was a very calm teacher, he knew Bradley needed to be able to figure it out himself, so the older man just sat quietly, giving some guidance when he needed it.
Bradley managed to learn pretty fast because of this and within no time he was driving on the road confidently. Ice trusted bradley to keep them safe, and only really intervened when it was really necessary or Bradley asked for help.
But when Mav tried to drive with him, a few months into having his learners permit, it didn’t go so well. He had trouble letting go and seemed to feel the need to tell Bradley what to do every two seconds and it really irked the teen.
Bradley would be taking a turn, and Mav would point out every detail of what he needed to do, when to indicate, when to slow down (more often than not it was way before he even needed to think of hitting the breaks). There was a lot of grabbing the door, flinching, and mumbled prayers, and because of this Bradley would tend to get into a reckless headspace, and it would just spiral from there. He would get snarky and talk back whenever Maverick would tell him what to do, and both of them would end up in pretty pissy moods by the end of the drive.
After the first few times, Mav gave up driving with Bradley, and left that to Ice. It was decided that they had plenty of other hobbies to could bond over. It was only after Bradley had his p’s for a while that they started driving together again, and Mav still had to forcefully calm himself down.
#in case you couldn’t tell i’ve got the same vibes with my parents-#mav and brad were definitely the hotheads#ice had to struggle to mediate#top gun#top gun maverick#pete maverick mitchell#bradley rooster bradshaw#tom iceman kazansky#icemav#maverick#rooster#bradley bradshaw#iceman#top gun headcanons#tassieshcs

i really don't know how to feel about fics/aus where it turns out that sj's treatment of lbh is his own fault because he didn't speak up about issues with other disciples, genuinely misbehaved etc and also later (as bingge) lied about how much he actually got punished and in truth it wasn't any more than any other disciple, and that sj didn't know about the fake manual, when all of this is explicitly against canon.
yqy adresses this when sy wakes up, telling sqq to stop being so mean to lbh. in the sj extra, he himself says that lbh should have died a long time ago bleeding from the seven apertures due to the fake manual. sy says that pidw explicitly states that lbh was punished WAAAY more than any other disciple, and in those conditions obviously noone would tell their teacher about being bullied??
idk i understand altering canon for the sake of telling a story but... somehow it feels like a disservice to sj's character to ignore canon and water him down for the sake of making his redemption easier. and villifying lbh, which is what these fics inevitably end up doing, is also messed up - he was around 11 when he joined cqm. that's a CHILD. no matter how you look at it, sqq's "treatment" of lbh is neglect at best, horrible abuse at worst, and in modern times it would put him in jail faster than you could blink. giving him a realistic redemption arc is difficult, if not impossible, but if you truly love him with all his flaws and faults, isn't it worth the effort?
#and do NOT get me started on the hypothetical sy/sj confrontation#it would get physical so fast#i think it would actually be a pretty even fight? sy in sqq's body probably has approximately the same martial abilities#so it would be down to sj fighting dirty vs sy fuelled by pure rage#because sy would NOT go omg sj gege poor meowmeow 🥺#like. my parents were assholes to me when i was little (obvs not to sj's degree)#and my friends STILL hate them#and in sy's case. THAT'S HIS HUSBAND!!!!!#svsss#sj#sqq#lbh#svsss meta#shen qingqiu#shen jiu#miao#argument ammunition#meta yapping

im so glad that we never get a clear picture of sophie’s background in leverage & i hope we never do. however i also really like making up various, often conflicting backstories for her in my head. perhaps they’re all backstories for an alias of hers, ones she laid to rest back in season two.
#leverageposting#leverage#sophie devereaux#particularly that one of or both her parents had to move around a lot for work & so she would change herself to fit in at every new school#or new town etc etc. and that whatever original identity she had was dropped due to some kind of really awful event and her bio family think#she’s dead. eg she got into some kind of extreme legal trouble for the first time & she faked her death & everyone she knew as a kid thinks#she’s dead too. like. astrid wasn’t the first person she left to miss/mourn her.#but also that she was a teen runaway at like age ~16 and pretended to be an adult (like. 18/19) cause theres not much you can do by yourself#as a minor like booking flights or renting an apartment. and so began her first proper alias. and she was a pickpocket until she could fund#her life fully through grifting & cons.#or alternatively her parents died when she was a teen & she was old enough to become an emancipated minor (everyone in lev is an orphan)#and she kind of just fell into crime from there bc she had no one#or perhaps she got married at 17 and realised how fucked it all was and stashed money until she could run away & leave it all behind. that’s#bc of a single vague sentence on john rogers’ blog saying she was married at 17 and in context it was quite possibly a joke or random#hypothetical example but i was like what if???? What If???????#i also like the hc that she’s trans which i’ve seen a few times#in some versions in my mind her parents were okay and in some versions they were awful and in some versions it was so complicated.#i think tara has heard one story and parker or hardison have heard another and nate has never heard any story. he’s never asked.#she is here now and that’s all that needs knowing. and sophie devereaux is her real name in any way it matters.#eliot has also never asked and she asked if he was curious once and he just asked if she was curious about What He Did and that was answer#enough for the both of them. just a mutual agreement not to ask and it actually solidified their bond.#i think she struggled for a long time about whether to tell her new family The Real Story but in much the same way we never hear her birth#name bc it’s not Her anymore… she never gives The Real Story. bc it no longer defines who she is. she’s so much more than whatever happened.#lvg

A quick collection of parenting culture-clashes that happened in Zaun Family between Jayvik and (mostly) Silco based on things that have happened in my family:
All of Silco's kids spent basically until they could walk being carried about by someone nearly constantly unless sleeping so when Viktor and Jayce intentionally put Naph on the ground (on a blanket) he is very confused and the sentence "What the fuck is floor time" is uttered when they try to explain that it's good developmentally for a baby
Silco has done the thing where while Naph is teething he's just dunked his finger in his whisky on the rocks and then run it along Naph's gums (a very common way to help with teething before modern numbing gels were created). Jayce does almost squeak out "did you just give my son alcohol?" at it
Naph when newborn sleeps in a cot with only a thin blanket where he is safe (from SIDS). All of Silco's kids when newborn slept in his and Vander's bed to keep them safe (from people breaking in).
Jayce and Viktor have one of those modern baby harnesses. Silco thinks it's dumb because as far as he's concerned all you need is long piece of fabric. Flip side of this is that Jayce and Viktor probably go for the baby swaddling onesie things while Silco can swaddle in that same piece of fabric.
Jayce and Viktor purchase/invent many things in the lead up to Naph's birth that Silco thinks are a waste of money/time. He ends up being right for about half of them.
#Zaun Family#Silco Arcane#Jayce Arcane#Viktor Arcane#Arcane mpreg#mpreg#Ramblings of the Goddess#Q and A with the Goddess#Jayvik#Number 2 and 3 are in that realm of#we now know a lot more about minimising risks to babies#but a lot of babies were (and still are) cared for in that way#and came out fine#we just know that there is risks in them so better to avoid#and with the sleeping one especailly#there are pros to having a baby sleep in the same bed as their parents#just have to weight it up with the increased SIDS risk#the old fashioned teething remedy is a bit more... don't give your baby alcohol#but I also know that if I had a baby and was stuck somewhere remote#with no teething gel but a bottle of vodka#and my kid was just not settling because of their teeth coming through#I'd be rubbing vodka along their gums

every time gricko semi-mockingly imitates kremy by going 'and then kremy'll be like 'waddadoo waddadoo fellas etc.', years get added to my lifespan and my skin clears
#kremy is my favorite and I think we should all make relentless fun of him for being as he is at all times <3#once upon a witchlight#legends of avantris#gricko grimgrin#kremy lecroux#the power balance as it were between gricko and kremy is really weird and interesting#like when gricko puts his foot down about something that concerns one of the others or the whole group kremy tends to listen#they are the two oldest people in the krew I suppose. and despite having some common sense frost lacks the gravitas#(due to being a bABY a little in his twenties kitten boy what the fuck!!! you ever remember that gricko is like... twice as old as frost.#incredible and wild) to really stand up to kremy a lot of the time#and obviously. torbek is torbek lol#kremy and gideon are a bit more of their own thing within the group and kremy does listen to gideon within that#but honestly they seem to be pretty on the same wavelength about a lot of the big stuff too haha#just partnership stuff <3#but when it's the whole group gricko is often the opposing 'other parent' to kremy's awful team mom antics#and it's really interesting#kremy *definitely* does not respect him in the conventional sense lmao but he does listen now and then#these characters can have dynamics and interactions so complicated and weird as a treat (a treat FOR ME!)

End of Empathy (time for violence)
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan jingyi#jin ling#lan sizhui#We are back to the present! Honestly I think I'm going to try and truncate the rest of this arc.#I LOVE yi-city and I really appreciate all of the support the yi-city lovers have given me. And the patience of those who aren't.#But it's been two months. And I need to move this along </3#Anyways; I love the start of ep 3 so much. The worried concern of the juniors is so cute#but the crown jewel by far is wwx responding like a parent that's very hungover but trying so hard to be nice about it#like 'shhh shhhh guys hi I'm up now. Can you keep the volume down. Can you get me some water and my sunglasses from the glovebox.'#and of course the incredible wham line of 'Xue Yang Must Die.'#'Is YX irredeemable? I'm pro 'everyone is capable of change and deserves a chance.' So Im of the camp of 'if he had the opportunity...maybe#The issue is that this setting has no structure to provide those opportunities. You are perceived as a threat therefor you must die#XY is a very interesting parallel to the YLLZ because they both meet the same fate: outsiders determining that they need to be killed#plus both did war crimes. I know it's easy to forget the YLLZ actually did do some of the things he was accused of (most wrong)#but wwx also has blood on his hands. He also sought revenge in pretty twisted ways. Both were given opportunities to step away and refused#The difference is that we empathize with and like XXC & SL and A-Qing. The Narrative says they were wronged and that is an injustice.'

This peculiar guy has vexed me
I think it would be funny if Bill and Steve knew each other before Euclydia was destroyed and Bill just had an insane hatred for him for not really any good reason. I've been thinking it would be interesting if Bill took his "strange eye" as a sign that he's different and special, it was his eye that allowed him to see the 3rd dimension after all, and the fact that Steve has the same abnormality attacks that belief which infuriates him. In all honesty, Bill probably used the "he's not like all the other shapes" mentality to cope to some degree.
#bill cipher#pyramid steve#gravity falls#book of bill#I imagine Bill and Steve's parents forcing them to have a playdate because neither of them have friends#also they were probably like “oh you both have the same eye you have something in common!”#meanwhile Bill was not having it. just big and mean#my art
