#and theyd buy a little house

[casperth3ghost]

ive recently been so obbsessed with the au/concept/thought/idek of rapunzel running away from gothel, but NOT finding out who her parents are

like if eugene didnt go to the stabbingtons after the boat scene, imagine how different their lives would be, and i can just imagine raps getting her first haircut and her and eugene getting married and they live probably out in old corona and they just live like that yk? maybe going on roadtrips together and visiting different towns and kingdoms

and idk why but them just having a pretty normal life just as commoners of corona would be so cute idk why😭🙏

[tommygotwrittenoff]

buck and eddie would forget they are Not married and would move in together and start equally contributing to the bills and managing the household together. and someone would be like. oh bucks splitting the mortgage already???? what about the loft???? and both buck and eddie would be like. oh yeah oopsie i forgot the loft was a thing

has yeosang nipped their lamb-dove? he's bitten hongjoong officially. has he bitten anyone else? i feel like if he did the reader would be like ur just a puppyyyyyyyyyy. and defend sangie to the matz like he just accidentally bit them its fine hes teething. all the excuses. i bet there would suddenly be chew toys for him too if so (and theyd be so clearly from the reader - all pastel and cute vs the monochrome of the matz!fam)

the biting was bad in the beginning especially. if either hongjoong or seonghwa got too close to him, he’d lunge for them and sink his teeth into whatever skin they had available. it was rare that he’d make them bleed since the bites were more of a warning than anything. it was only ever when they deigned to touch him that he bit hard enough to hurt. of course, over time as he learned the rules of the house a little better, the biting got less and less. hongjoong no longer had to pin him by the scruff of the neck for doing something so utterly disrespectful as smashing a priceless vase for the soul purpose of rebelling, and seonghwa’s regular hair ruffles just became something yeosang could live with.

but darling was somehow special. the fact that he knew he would be dead if he dared to hurt her had no real part in it, because he never felt the urge to hurt her. sure, when she pounced on his and used him as her personal teddy bear it pissed him off, but he never bit her. and all those hours that she spent sat next to him, fiddling with his fluffy tail really, really annoyed him, but again, biting was never an option. instead he’d pin her, flipping her over onto her back and holding her wrists above her head, all while growling threats that he did not intend to keep.

“fucking touch me again and i’ll rip your throat out, brat. damn what your precious ‘mommy’ and ‘daddy’ do to me in return.”

but then she just… giggles in his face and it stumps him. she’s not supposed to find his threats funny. she’s supposed to cower in fear, crying and begging for mercy. the fact that she’s looking at him like he’s the most precious creature in the world has him entirely stumped.

maybe that’s why he doesn’t want to hurt her, though. she doesn’t see him as a threat. she doesn’t flinch back from him when he turns his head too quick, and she doesn’t cower away from him like he’s some sort of dangerous animal. maybe he doesn’t want to be violent with her because she doesn’t treat him like he should be. over time, that treatment stops from seonghwa too, the flinching comes to a halt and so yeosang stops biting him too. with hongjoong, it never really ends, but as the both of them get closer, it just becomes part of their dynamic, something the two of them treat as a game.

the chew toys are definitely something that darling would do as a practical joke, same as hongjoong buying him dog treats and seonghwa threatening him with the spray bottle in his greenhouse if he ever steps out of line. yeosang doesn’t find it funny when she presents him with bone shaped object, just raising a brow at her as she struggles to stifle her giggles with her hand. he takes them anyway, just because he knows it’ll make her happy (damn his soft heart) and hides them away under his bed. no one has to know that sometimes he pulls one of the ugly pastel things out and chews on it like one might chew on the end of a pen. it’s a completely normal behaviour, he tells himself as he stashes the toys under his bed once he’s finished with them. the fact that he doesn’t want anyone to know is not because it’s weird or that he’s ashamed of it… definitely not…

can you tell us more about what Ben's life was like before his death?? (family, friends, and so on)(and what happened to them after his death bc oh sweet sweet angst)

ben was my gateway into creepypasta and i am living for your content of him (and your cp content in general) 😭🙏🏻

i havent thought TOO deeply about this actually!! so im gonna just spout what i HAVE thought about and see what i can build while im here!

as per usual, everything is in my AU; Creeped! info in my pinned if curious. CW in this post for murder, suicide, violence, the usual

ok. from the get-go i knew ben was gonna be an only child living in the suburbs. his parents would be pretty average folks, maybe his dad is a plumber and his mom is a secretary at a dentists office . . . he's a little spoiled, considering he's an only child. doesnt do chores, always getting electronics for holidays, most of his meals are made for him. i imagine his grandparents spoil him even more, as he's their only grandkid - something about him screams no cousins either... HES GOT NOBODYYY

i specifically imagine him living in a neighborhood like this. but with tons of toys hanging out on the lawn from when he was young and his parents are too lazy/busy to toss them. all rotting under the sun cuz hes stuck inside on his games

i imagine i has a small circle of friends at school... the type to go ride bikes after school to the corner store, buy hella soda and snacks, then ride home to go play video games.

he's def a bit dorky/geeky and doesnt have a lot of friends, just hangs around at school trading pokemon cards and failing his math tests and eating cheetos.

i think ben wouldve been 'just' missing for a while, but i think that his parents would have lost their minds. organized massive search parties, gone door to door with photos of ben pleading with everyone.

its fucked up but. im thinking. bens mom knocks on the door of the man who killed ben. the man is weird, a recluse, visibly uncomfortable the second he sees her face - she's been all over the news begging for ben to come home, after all. and theres a stench, and everything about this house is just Off and dirty and gross, and the entry way has a pile of boots and slippers and sandals just sitting around - all belonging to the man - but she notices a pair of awfully familiar sneakers.

i think it would be upsetting if she saw the shoes that she bought for ben, began to stammer, the man noticed, and he goes to attack her. she screams and freaks out and barely manages to get away, the man is freaking out and gets in his truck and goes to drive off, huge police-chase ensues, and the cops raid his house. i think the man would shoot himself before the cops could get him, something that would destroy bens family to no end.

while going through his house for evidence, theyd find ben's rotting corpse in the tub - dressed up in the link gear - alongside the majoras mask catridge. and theyd begin to find other remains around the house, all belonging to missing blonde teens around the county/state.

i think its obvious the sort of turmoil and strain this would have on his family(parents+grandparents), but it would be really tough on his friends too. theyre all freshmen in highschool and there would be a ton of rumors, distasteful jokes, etc at Ben's expense - partially from his own friends not knowing how to cope, partially from strangers.

and i dont think ben would be able to witness any of this grief as its happening. OBVIOUSLY he's dead, but his spirit is trapped in the same majoras mask cartridge that ends up getting stuck in evidence.

i think he'd eventually go back to watch all the interviews, news recordings, etc that he can find. and i think he'd try to pretend it doesnt bug him. he's so beyond shitty with his emotions, even as a human - super quick to make a joke out of everything, laugh it all off, in fear of being a 'pussy' or being vulnerable or getting made fun of. cuz he was the type to make fun of other boys for the same stuff. so yk. but the outlet he'd use for his emotions would be hurting people. tormenting, 'trolling', cyberbullying, haunting people all around the nation and driving them to murder, suicide, other things. generally being Evil and thinking its all just a joke. he cant take anything serious

i dont think he'd talk about his family to the creeps. and looking at him, nobody has a damn clue who he is or why he's like That. but he'd accidentally let his last name slip in a random convo, someone would be nosy enough to google it, and the news would quickly spread around the creeps and proxies who know him. not that theyd try and address it or something, but it would 100% leave everyone a little bit like. Oh. That's really sad. esp cuz they all thought he was just an annoying little asshole

Celebrating Valentines with the moon boys

A.N: HELLO PEEPS I HAVE BEEN RESURRECTED what better way to celebrate my return than by a small hc about my baby moonboys and how theyd reach to celebrating valentines?!

enjoy this as i write it at 2 am, well past valentine but who cares eheheehhe

(English isnt my first language. Please pardon any grammatical/spelling mistakes. Gifs not mine)

[ pls ignore all spelling mistakes and capitalization issues i'll fix it later i promise 😭😭😭 ]

Steven

while he may very well be the definition of a nervous wreck, he'd definitely be the type of person to remember your favourite flowers and chocolates and buy the largest possible set of both. top it off with a personal letter in which he confesses just how good you make him feel. steven would be the person to make you feel loved for yourself, never having to put on a facade for him, because he loves you more than you could ever love yourself. he's shocked when you cry at the words and you guys end up cuddling the rest of the night, with one arm around you and the other gently stroking your hair, whispering 'i love you' until you fall asleep.

once he's sure youre asleep, he'd snuggle into you, holing you tightly and recount every moment he's been grateful to have you for

Marc

as we all know marc is a true baby at heart. he'd be the kind of person to not make valentines a big deal but the moment he sees you pouting he'd turn the world upside down. not even khonshu would be able to calm him down. once you tell him that in fact you do want him to pamper you on valentines, hed go to pull all the stops. make it the best valentines youve ever had.. first up is a lovely breakfast in bed, with pancakes and strawberries and chocolate syrup overloaded. then he'd take you out for a picnic in the flower fields where you make a bouquet for him and he almost starts crying at the gesture (because why in the world would someone with a right mind ever do something so sweet for a mercenary?). the next stop was a romantic movie date that was being re-played in the theaters, followed by stargazing at night.

you were full of love and adoration for your man and the efforts he took to keep a smile on your face.

"all the stars in the sky couldnt compare to the love i hold for you, marc"

hed start crying, because he's new to being loved. its a foreign feeling but one he cherishes the most. he'd thank all the gods above for bringing you into his life

Jake

we all know he's a little shit. the more you'd hint him to treat you on valentines, the more dumb he'd act. ("valentines??? whats that???") to a point where youd start pouting and sticking your tongue out at him. cut to valentines and you thought he'd surprise you and all of the acting dumb was just to irk you. but when he actually has nothing planned it pisses you off. youd be sulky and bratty and purposefully get on his nerves too (*cough* no bra in the house *cough*)

turns out there was a surprise for you. one of the most hottest and filthiest nights you couldve ever imagined. rest assured there was no way youd be able to go out in public because a) your legs wouldnt move and b) with the amount of hickeys you had someone would thing youre being abused 😭😭

[weirdbabs]

What gift would your favorite character most like to receive and what would they give to their loved ones?

okay, ive got 3 characters im gonna be going with, 1 from bobs and 2 from paranatural bc you WILL be seeing me talk about it often

Zeke (Bob’s Burgers):

i think, in a “dream wish, this probablys never gonna to happen but i can hope for it” kinda way, he would want some really high end cooking equipment. stand mixer, cast iron skillets, butane torch, maybe a sous vide cooker? something that would let him expand his culinary prowess and what he can create

when it comes to what he gives others as gifts i think he would buy little things, like trinkets and such, that the giftee had never expressed interest in, and it all ends up being very hit or miss. either they absolutely love it or hate it , no in between. hell put a lot of thought into whatever hes looking at but sometimes something will grab his eye and hell grab it on impulse, but hes always so excited when he presents it that even if the giftee hates it they cant help but smile bc zeke saw this (absolutely horrible) thing, thought of them, and then got it all bc he thought they would like it

Max Puckett (Paranatural):

to be honest i dont know what max would want. a new scooter and a key to his friends house are obvious answers that im trying to look past. i think possibly something like backstage passes to an insolent children concert or like the ability to spend the day with shred eagle and do a bunch of stunts/tricks. something where he gets to meet and share his interests with someone he admires

i feel like max would give ppl mix tapes he put together. like, he would present it as no big deal, say that he just put a bunch of  random songs on a disc, but no 2 would be the same, there would be a flow to the songs, and it would be a mix of bands they know and bands theyd never heard of that all somehow fit to their exact music tastes

Isabel Guerra (Paranatural):

i think she would want something that is HERS. no one elses. something new, not used, not a hand me down, and something that she doesnt have to share with others. the curse of growing up in a poor household with multiple ppl and sharing your toothbrush for who knows how long with like 4 others

gift wise, i think she tries to make homemade gifts but ends up making them 1. way more complicated than needs to be 2. way above her skill level and 3. takes on way more projects than she can handle. i think she would see that someone likes sweaters and go okay 👍 then try to teach herself to knit, plan a cable knit sweater, and then if its not perfect itll be a big blow to her self esteem. i think someone would say that theyre cold and she would go okay 👍 ive got 2 weeks, i think im going to make them a quilt then pick the most complicated pattern. someone says they like a piece of furniture left on the side of the street to be thrown out and she goes okay 👍 then grabs it in the middle of the night, strips and sands it down then restores it for them. she spends like a month and a half leading up to the holidays operating on 3-4 hours of sleep and if asked why shes doing this to herself shed say that shes saving money by doing the work herself (even tho with cost of materials shes really, really not). i think she just likes a challenge and feels the need to prove herself

[sagethegremlin]

For the ship memes ask game:

Tacopep with whichever question you think would be the funniest to answer for them

im bored how about ALL OF THEM 🔥🔥🔥

big spoon/little spoon:

even though tacos the smaller one she would be the big spoon because pepper likes to be comforted more

favorite non-sexual activity:

they enjoy harmlessly messing with each other (picture house and wilson style pranks) but honestly they enjoy being in each others company more than anything

who uses all the hot water:

pepper :)

most trivial thing they fight over:

taco lived in the woods forever adjusting to a pleasant domestic life is hard for her so pepper is always pestering her about stuff like taking regular showers and wearing things that look nice but at the end of the day pepper knows its a hard adjustment so she'll bug her about it but she isnt actually mad yknow

who does most of the cleaning:

neither. they either hire someone else to do it, trick someone else into doing it, or just yell at each other about it forever (maybe pepper would eventually do it begrudgingly)

what has a season pass on their dvr/who controls the netflix queue:

taco pays for it but pepper is the one thats always controlling what they watch because taco doesnt really care

who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working:

peppers the one to make the call but she always ends up handing it over to taco because shes much more intimidating

who steals the blankets:

both. the only solution is for them to sleep separately but they would never do that so every night is a battle

who leaves their stuff around:

pepper. when she lived in the hotel she had a reason to stay organized because that was how oj liked to keep things but in this scenario where shes living with taco she doesnt have a reason to care about any of that anymore. she can never find anything tho

who remembers to buy the milk

neither of them. they only remember to buy food when they run out so they always end up doordashing everything

who remembers anniversaries:

pepper and she loves making a big deal out of it :) she always plans something sweet :)

Who cooks normally?

whatever restaurant/fast food place is nearest

How often do they fight?

they have non-serious fights all the time for the "excitement" but rarely have a full on genuine argument with each other unless its about their past (they dont bring up salt and they dont bring up pickle or mic)

What do they do when they’re away from each other?

theyre miserable with and without each other so i suppose theyd just be miserable

Nicknames for each other?

taco calls pepper her princess :)

Who is more likely to pay for dinner?

taco always pays for everything because pepper likes to be spoiled :)

What would they get each other for gifts?

taco gets pepper very materialistic stuff (makeup, outfits, etc) because pepper likes being spoiled meanwhile pepper actually tries harden than youd think to get taco personalized stuff (even if its just a nice necklace that has her name or something)

Who kissed who first?

pepper but now she prefers being the one being kissed

Who made the first move?

again pepper

Who remembers things?

neither! these are the most dumbass dysfunctional lesbians youll ever see

Who started the relationship?

no one really "started" it they just kinda kept hanging out and eventually moved in together

Who cusses more?

taco at first but she rubbed off on pepper too much

What would they do if the other was hurt?

start killing honestly

extra leon & shel lore/tidbits copy pasted from the group chat that i dont think ive shared (non-kink-related)

[warning for mentions/descriptions of alcoholism, abuse, death including child death & pet death, transphobia, self harm]

angela really did not like shel before they became friends she thought he was just the most pissy old bitch. shel liked her fine bc she 1. never did anything to piss him off herself and 2. Called him a pissy old bitch which he thought was funny. i think she only changed her mind about him when she realized he was one of the only people to immediately start calling her the right name when she came out & when she realized he was friends with leon, who she already was cool with. now she'll defend him she'll be like No Hes Cool If Youre Friends With Him Honest I Swear. he always just liked her bc he thought she was Spunky. never really made a move to be pals with her just considered her one of his more tolerable coworkers. they both think its hilarious now that she hated him & she still Jokingly calls him a pissy old bitch. she was cool with leon Before coming out but only really became close with him After coming out bc he was like [in private] omg wait me too [<-paraphrased] & trans coworkers gotta stick together

shels cats prefer laying on leon when hes over bc hes softer & warmer & shel gets jealous so naturally the solution is for shel to use leon as a pillow so the cats have to lay on her instead

i think leon likes showering at shels house bc she has a shower chair & its nice. he probably winds up getting one himself anyway so shel can feel safer showering at his house too

shels house is pretty well cat-proofed. hes invested in soft carpeting so shits less likely to break if it falls, hazards are generally well-secured, hes got magnets on his cabinet doors so they cant break in, shit like that etc. the cats are more or less allowed anywhere in the house But he has a Strict no cats in the laundry room rule bc hes absolutely terrified of one sneaking into the dryer when hes not looking

leons place is like. very Lived In. kinda messy but not Gross (i imagine shel probably helps him keep on top of cleaning sometimes). a little dingy but not so much so that you dont wanna sit down & hang around. kinda dated. not overly well-maintained. needs some repairs that he just hasnt gotten around to (for years). hasnt been renovated or anything in decades. ugly old couch. he tries to keep trash off the floor but he is guilty of having old bottles & shit sitting around. making it look nice isnt a huge priority for him but he tries to at least keep it sanitary

shels house as we know is full of cat-themed crap & knickknacks & i think its kinda granny-esque & a lot of brown & pink & off-white & warm neutral colors. clean but cluttered & cozy. small but comfortable. nothing is like harsh & bright the color is all soft & subdued & the lighting is warm & gentle. lot of decorative things & photos on shelves & on the walls & on end tables etc. maybe some doilies. shel could be a doily guy. lot of cute fridge magnets

leon will refer to his pre-transition self as a girl/woman almost as if she was a different person he used to know. angela only refers to herself as a girl/woman including when talking about the past bc thats what shes always been even before she knew. & shel well hes just shel

projecting onto leon he'll be buying pants & be like "omg these fit Perfectly" & theyll be like a foot too long. length, as we know, does not matter when youre built like grimace

i think shel (playfully) gives leon grief for bein older than him. bc shel Looks older. if u asked their coworkers to guess theyd place leon at no older than 43 and shel at like 55

they bring out the best in each other. when shels around leon tries not to drink & he tries to take better care of himself bc he doesnt wanna disappoint him. when leons around shels less bitchy & less grumpy & in much better humor. theyre both happier around each other

i think leon was a little nervous about becoming an Official Couple & i think hed be a little nervous about getting married moving in together etc, not bc he thinks shel would ever hurt him but bc he still worries that all the abuse he took from bill was his own fault & hes afraid shels gonna start to see him the way bill saw him & get sick of him. & he feels guilty for feeling that way

shels had A Lot of cats in his life & he carries the grief of every single one hes ever said goodbye to. the majority of his Family Photos he has framed or in albums are pets & sometimes he'll be looking through them & gets a little misty. & i think leon realizing that all these cats have always pretty much been shels only family & hearing the way he reminisces about them the way somebody would fondly recall happy memories with their family or friends is a point where he realizes just how lonely shels life has been. hes always been very sentimental about his cats. if he finds a loose whisker on the floor he sticks it in a jar bc its too cool to just sweep up. & if one of them cuts him deeply enough to leave a scar he looks at it with fondness. & the paw prints they do at the vet when the times up. he def has those all hung up amongst whatever photos & other shit he has on the walls

i think shel has some kind of goofy little tattoo he got when he was really young & dysfunctional like. on her hip or some weird spot where nobody ever sees it & its some weird random stupid little thing & the first time leon sees it hes like ??????????? idk what it would even be but its definitely shittily done & probably doesnt have any meaning behind it

leon was originally supposed to be bitter & grumpy & bitchy like shel (who has been around longer & whose bitterness & grumpiness & bitchiness was well established by the time leon came around) but he wound up being more sad & sweet & nervous. i think his coworkers still generally dont like him unless they know him well & its mostly bc they make Assumptions about him based on the things they know. hes an alcoholic, hes a hot mess, he hangs out with that bitchy weirdo shel, he doesnt socialize much, etc

Thinking About Shels Cat Pics u knowww they look like shit. if hes texting them . with his flip phone. but also i think she takes a lot of Camera Pictures & puts em in a photo album. all the time leons receiving grainy shitty flip phone cat pic texts & he Adores it he feels so in love

Thinking About Angela & Leon i think they have like an extra special little friendship which they really come to think of as a father/daughter relationship after a while. it just kinda Becomes Like That. since she was relatively recently disowned by her parents & he lost his daughter & they both have a major void that theyre subconsciously trying to fill. he might take her shopping since she came out pretty recently & doesnt have much of a wardrobe & hes pretty experienced in the field of Womens Clothes. they make a whole little day of it. i think ive already mentioned leons necklace that his mom gave him that her mom probably gave her that he was gonna give to his daughter which he wound up giving to angela & it was gonna be a casual gesture but it wound up being a whole teary huggy thing for both of em

i think. if he found out bill died or something he would be all freaked out like Omg I Shouldve Been There For Him bc even after everything theres still a big part of him that thinks maybe if he tried harder if he did a better job if he was a better spouse etc they couldve been happy. even tho he Knows bill was awful to him & he Knows bill was a nasty evil abusive person & he would never wish what he went through on anybody else theres still a big part of him that feels like it was his fault & he deserved all of it & he cant possibly deserve better

Thinking About Baby Shel. sometimes as someone who works in school/childcare youll have a kid who nobody can figure out how to help--beyond troubled, disillusioned, home life is a mess, etc--& you just know in your heart that if Somebody cant figure it out theyre not gonna make it. shel was one of those kids from a very early age. any teachers he had who are still alive remember him well bc he was such a fucked up little terror & theyd be astonished to see that hes alive. not only alive but Relatively Happy. functioning. sober. nothing like the disturbed child they knew back then

the destroyed parent in leon wishes so badly he couldve been there for shel when he was little. even tho had they known each other at the time hes only like 4 years older. he hears about tidbits of shels childhood & just wishes he could go there & hold him. but he can comfort him now & shel appreciates that. i usually depict shel being more Okay bc he does have his shit way more together but sometimes he is just all fucked up & leons there for him. sometimes he has Bad Brain Days & sometimes its just that kind of day & sometimes its brought on by his pain or lack of sleep or somethin & sometimes something triggers it & fucks him up. & he might be agitated & moody or he might be sad & fragile or he might just be numb & barely responsive but leon will treat him gentle & make sure hes not isolating himself or neglecting himself or hurting himself & make sure hes taken care of until he feels ok again. leon often feels like he doesnt do nearly enough for shel considering how much shel supports him sometimes but when those days happen he usually (probably unknowingly) prevents shel from spiraling into a weeks-long & potentially life-threatening funk

Thinking About Leon bc ive established how angela & shel came to be without a family but ive never gone into detail on leon. i think his family was never very supportive to start with & they didnt like the man he married & blamed leon for getting himself into the relationship when it started going south & bill kinda drove a wedge between him & his family and then when he started to really become a hot mess with Apparent Mental Health Issues Including Alcoholism they shunned him even more & wanted no part of him or his problems & then by the time he divorced bill & started his transition he was so estranged from them & he knew how unsupportive they were in general that he just never came out to them & essentially disappeared. he was their black sheep & they were fine with him getting away. i think if he had the chance to forgive them & go back to them he would do it in a heartbeat in spite of everything. if he found them again & they were willing to take him back he would forget how much pain they let him go through all alone Immediately. hes too forgiving bc he doesnt think he deserves better. he woulda let bill back into his life too if shel hadnta beat him to it. hes afraid of being alone he thinks hes unlovable😔 shels trying to get him past that

shels mother was a terrible parent but sometimes he wonders if they wouldve had a happy life without his dad. & sometimes he wonders if he couldve saved her. leon will be like “you were just a little kid theres nothing you couldve done” but he cant help thinking about it. & honestly if it werent for his dad his mom probably wouldve been a fine parent but their relationship was so vicious & abusive & horrible that the household was just a constant screaming fighting mess

when leon got his top surgery he was freshly divorced & had no friends bc his shity husband had him all isolated & he was like the most alone hed ever been in his life he didnt have Nobody & he had to go through the whole process & recovery all alone & it was miserable so when shel gets his knees done leon makes dam sure hes there for him every step of the way

thinking about leon & angela finding out about stuff shel never got to do as a kid & being like Oh My God We Are Taking His Old Ass To The Zoo. take his old ass to the boardwalk for minigolf & rides & ice cream. cant take his old ass to action park. sad

Auguries of Innocence

BY WILLIAM BLAKE

To see a World in a Grain of Sand

And a Heaven in a Wild Flower 

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand 

And Eternity in an hour

A Robin Red breast in a Cage

Puts all Heaven in a Rage 

A Dove house filld with Doves & Pigeons

Shudders Hell thr' all its regions 

A dog starvd at his Masters Gate

Predicts the ruin of the State 

A Horse misusd upon the Road

Calls to Heaven for Human blood 

Each outcry of the hunted Hare

A fibre from the Brain does tear 

A Skylark wounded in the wing 

A Cherubim does cease to sing 

The Game Cock clipd & armd for fight

Does the Rising Sun affright 

Every Wolfs & Lions howl

Raises from Hell a Human Soul 

The wild deer, wandring here & there 

Keeps the Human Soul from Care 

The Lamb misusd breeds Public Strife

And yet forgives the Butchers knife 

The Bat that flits at close of Eve

Has left the Brain that wont Believe

The Owl that calls upon the Night

Speaks the Unbelievers fright

He who shall hurt the little Wren

Shall never be belovd by Men 

He who the Ox to wrath has movd

Shall never be by Woman lovd

The wanton Boy that kills the Fly

Shall feel the Spiders enmity 

He who torments the Chafers Sprite

Weaves a Bower in endless Night 

The Catterpiller on the Leaf

Repeats to thee thy Mothers grief 

Kill not the Moth nor Butterfly 

For the Last Judgment draweth nigh 

He who shall train the Horse to War

Shall never pass the Polar Bar 

The Beggars Dog & Widows Cat 

Feed them & thou wilt grow fat 

The Gnat that sings his Summers Song

Poison gets from Slanders tongue 

The poison of the Snake & Newt

Is the sweat of Envys Foot 

The poison of the Honey Bee

Is the Artists Jealousy

The Princes Robes & Beggars Rags

Are Toadstools on the Misers Bags 

A Truth thats told with bad intent

Beats all the Lies you can invent 

It is right it should be so 

Man was made for Joy & Woe 

And when this we rightly know 

Thro the World we safely go 

Joy & Woe are woven fine 

A Clothing for the soul divine 

Under every grief & pine

Runs a joy with silken twine 

The Babe is more than swadling Bands

Throughout all these Human Lands

Tools were made & Born were hands 

Every Farmer Understands

Every Tear from Every Eye

Becomes a Babe in Eternity 

This is caught by Females bright

And returnd to its own delight 

The Bleat the Bark Bellow & Roar 

Are Waves that Beat on Heavens Shore 

The Babe that weeps the Rod beneath

Writes Revenge in realms of Death 

The Beggars Rags fluttering in Air

Does to Rags the Heavens tear 

The Soldier armd with Sword & Gun 

Palsied strikes the Summers Sun

The poor Mans Farthing is worth more

Than all the Gold on Africs Shore

One Mite wrung from the Labrers hands

Shall buy & sell the Misers Lands 

Or if protected from on high 

Does that whole Nation sell & buy 

He who mocks the Infants Faith

Shall be mockd in Age & Death 

He who shall teach the Child to Doubt

The rotting Grave shall neer get out 

He who respects the Infants faith

Triumphs over Hell & Death 

The Childs Toys & the Old Mans Reasons

Are the Fruits of the Two seasons 

The Questioner who sits so sly 

Shall never know how to Reply 

He who replies to words of Doubt

Doth put the Light of Knowledge out 

The Strongest Poison ever known

Came from Caesars Laurel Crown

sorry, i restarted my acnh island after not playing for years (i think last time i played they'd released the first update for the museum but im not sure), and ive just completed project kk, get a letter to go to Harvey's island. and how theyd decided to go about this is fucking bizarre

like, having all the shops/unique npcs be on harveys island was what i expected, becuz it makes sense that harvey would want to build a little community and host everyone

but why bells????

like, he literally comments in game that he doesn't want to have capital and all that, but ue has no choice so oh well

but like, i have just completed project kk, you know, where you need to collect materials to build the first house, and to build nooklings, and to build a bridge and to build the furniture for the houses and appealing scenery

what do you mean ypu have no choice????

did the game devs just forget the Entire gimmick of their game???? yknow, the whole building an island from scratch with the materials found on that island

surely the solution to harvey not collecting capital would be to collect materials instead??? and that would also allow for the opportunity for each Lloyd to collect stuff unique to the characters moving in, give them personality before you meet them, instead of them all just being 100 000 bells to get

like maybe katrina (fortune telling) needs a star fragment as part of her materials, or leif (plants) needs weeds or fruit or veggies, or reese and cyrus (refurbishing) need the customisation ticket things

which would make getting them a bit more fun than just money

also, after completing project kk, i still have a house to upgrade, so i can have more storage, i have items ill want to buy to decorate my island, bells are something i dont have a lot of in saving because ive literally just started the game

it makes no sense to make them all cost bells, but also no sense to put them as accessible so early into the game, when people won't have the bells to unlock them

it just seems like a quick, lazy decision that no one put much thought into, and fully ignores the game and the characters in it

Dream is too easy to morph into aus..

shaking with ideas

big sans and his little baby. . .

everyone knows to NEVER go after Dream

Sans will have their head

Papyrus is the glorified babysitter He doesn't mind though

It would be sooo funny for the bad sanses to find him once he's grown up though and he's just a smaller version of MF sans

"Dream?! What happened to you??" Nightmare would say..

Dream, not remember Nightmare (he was too young and probably trauma blocked him) would pull out his gun and pew pew

EVEN BETTER if it Swap and Ink

GAAAASSSSPPPPPPPP YES. mosty.

When he was a baby theyd dress him up to look like them. Give him his own fedora. He wanted a feather in it? Done. Hed get older, always being told "you really grew into those clothes," always fit in, managed his role well. He would be different, absolutely. Colder, less patient. But i think hed still have that kind nature. Hed still buy flowers for the coffee shop lady that never messed up his order because she was having a bad day. Hed still sit with his father and talk about his health, forcing that cigar down. Hed still make sure his uncle had time for himself, wasnt overworking again. But he would absolutely yell at a woman for letting her purebred bichon frisé shit near his house. Hed be a bit of a hypcrite. He would he would probably even smoke cigarettes himself, despite his distaste for his fathers cigars. So i think he would have no hesitation shooting someone, but someone that seemed to know him? Hed probably fire warning shots before shooting them dead.

But its youre au and im just projecting/lh <3

rating headcanons that yall say

lowkey kinda love reading hcs and some are scarily accurate but some are like??where did you even?????get that from?????

so im gonna like? debunk some? and just like, comment on shit? if i miss anything ask n ill make a separate post

crutchie is not like.. ✨uWu soft baby cinnamon roll✨. its fbhjdksabkh frustrating like the whole "let crutchie say fuck" thing annoyed him. just bc he has a disability doesnt mean hes infantilized. he is actually a little fucking menace and he will hit you. he is opinionated and not a innocent little child.

i (race) like biting. thats it. i bite.

jack is like chronically adhd but he doesnt think he is. hell hyperfixate and infodump and get so distracted on one thing (90% of the time its his current artwork) that the outside world just stops existing. yet he thinks this is just normal people things to do while i just 🫠

hes also a manwhore. he gets around a lot (albeit as a coping mechanism for his ✨everything trauma✨). like before the strike he slept around, with random people hed pick up on the street, theatregoers hed see during meddas shows and talked to afterwards ("dont come a knockin" style), meddas backstage crew, people hed sell the evening paper to, anyone. gender was irrelevant to him, he just needed an outlet for all his energy. it was usually a no stings attached scenario, but not like, "wham bam thank you maam" sorta thing, he treated them with respeect

alberts safe food is lamb. thats it.

spot is a chihuahua. down to the soul. (he will deny this till the day he dies)

everyone is some form of neurodivergent. all funky in the brain /lh

also some things that are not true (soz guys)

-um. ralbert. it just doesnt make sense for either of us? hes my best friend and i do love him but not like that. also i dont think wed be able to survive as a couple. we collectively share about three (3) brain cells and i think we would destroy a house together. like blow it up (storytime for later about that if yall wanna hear)

-neither is javey (sorry everyone). jack an davey love each other. yes. but not in a romantic way. theyll trust each other with things theyd never tell anyone else, but they are strictly platonic. they said they could never imagine being together, sorry to all the avid javey supporters out there.

-kathy's a lesbian. false 💖

shes bi with a preference for women. she did THINK she was a lesbian until she had this big dumb guy come up to her on the street and offer to bring her a paper personally.

-newsies dont have an age limit. we dont "age out" of selling. it isnt "just a kids job". anyone could sell papers. the whole point of being a newsie is that anyone could do the job, it didnt matter who you were or where you were from, you just had to have enough money to buy the paper from the distributor. we had a like 40 year old woman who used to come buy her papers after we did. so the theories of "what happens when jack ages out??" arent nessicarily accurate, if anything he would leave by choice.

Auguries of Innocence

By William Blake

To see a World in a Grain of Sand

And a Heaven in a Wild Flower

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand

And Eternity in an hour

A Robin Red breast in a Cage

Puts all Heaven in a Rage

A Dove house filld with Doves & Pigeons

Shudders Hell thr’ all its regions

A dog starvd at his Masters Gate

Predicts the ruin of the State

A Horse misusd upon the Road

Calls to Heaven for Human blood

Each outcry of the hunted Hare

A fibre from the Brain does tear

A Skylark wounded in the wing

A Cherubim does cease to sing

The Game Cock clipd & armd for fight

Does the Rising Sun affright

Every Wolfs & Lions howl

Raises from Hell a Human Soul

The wild deer, wandring here & there

Keeps the Human Soul from Care

The Lamb misusd breeds Public Strife

And yet forgives the Butchers knife

The Bat that flits at close of Eve

Has left the Brain that wont Believe

The Owl that calls upon the Night

Speaks the Unbelievers fright

He who shall hurt the little Wren

Shall never be belovd by Men

He who the Ox to wrath has movd

Shall never be by Woman lovd

The wanton Boy that kills the Fly

Shall feel the Spiders enmity

He who torments the Chafers Sprite

Weaves a Bower in endless Night

The Catterpiller on the Leaf

Repeats to thee thy Mothers grief

Kill not the Moth nor Butterfly

For the Last Judgment draweth nigh

He who shall train the Horse to War

Shall never pass the Polar Bar

The Beggars Dog & Widows Cat

Feed them & thou wilt grow fat

The Gnat that sings his Summers Song

Poison gets from Slanders tongue

The poison of the Snake & Newt

Is the sweat of Envys Foot

The poison of the Honey Bee

Is the Artists Jealousy

The Princes Robes & Beggars Rags

Are Toadstools on the Misers Bags

A Truth thats told with bad intent

Beats all the Lies you can invent

It is right it should be so

Man was made for Joy & Woe

And when this we rightly know

Thro the World we safely go

Joy & Woe are woven fine

A Clothing for the soul divine

Under every grief & pine

Runs a joy with silken twine

The Babe is more than swadling Bands

Throughout all these Human Lands

Tools were made & Born were hands

Every Farmer Understands

Every Tear from Every Eye

Becomes a Babe in Eternity

This is caught by Females bright

And returnd to its own delight

The Bleat the Bark Bellow & Roar

Are Waves that Beat on Heavens Shore

The Babe that weeps the Rod beneath

Writes Revenge in realms of Death

The Beggars Rags fluttering in Air

Does to Rags the Heavens tear

The Soldier armd with Sword & Gun

Palsied strikes the Summers Sun

The poor Mans Farthing is worth more

Than all the Gold on Africas Shore

One Mite wrung from the Labrers hands

Shall buy & sell the Misers Lands

Or if protected from on high

Does that whole Nation sell & buy

He who mocks the Infants Faith

Shall be mockd in Age & Death

He who shall teach the Child to Doubt

The rotting Grave shall ne'er get out

He who respects the Infants faith

Triumphs over Hell & Death

The Childs Toys & the Old Mans Reasons

Are the Fruits of the Two seasons

The Questioner who sits so sly

Shall never know how to Reply

He who replies to words of Doubt

Doth put the Light of Knowledge out

The Strongest Poison ever known

Came from Caesars Laurel Crown

Nought can Deform the Human Race

Vision of the Last Judgement

By William Blake

[lexa-griffins]

Is Madi a picky eater growing up? I know she becomes a vegetarian so I wonder if her siblings copy her because they want to be just like their cool older sister

A bit, yeah. Like most kids, Madi goes through this phase where she just decides things she likes before are gross, namely most vegetables. Which is stressful for Lexa as the main cook of the house because now they are going through more expensive food items theyd buy for Madi and that would take longer to go through but now thats the only thing she wants to eat and refuses to eat anything else. Grocery shopping is becoming more frequent when they used to buy mostly everything at the market, and both the price of gas and of the alternatives to meat for Madi to eat are eating upbat their weekly budget. And then suddenly the younger kids want to eat like their big sister and are refusing to eat what Lexa makes them, pushing it to the side or straight up throwing it on the floor (if Madi is about around 8, Saige is 5 and the twins and 3, which puts this right before the whole miscarriage and blow out and before Aden) which does make Lexa lose her cool. She has never yelled at the kids although she can be strict but the frustration in eating at her and the kids are wasting food her and Clarke worked so hard to be able to grow and buy and it just sets her off. As soon as the "You eat what you were served" yell is out of her mouth, she apologizes and excuses herself from the table.

Of course, to Madi, her mom is the one being unreasonable. She doesn't like the food, how is that her fault? Or that the younger kids dont want it either? Her school friends get fast food and frozen foods so much, why can't they?

Later that night Madi will find her moms' room door slightly open and hear Lexa softly cry about being so frustrated and how they cant afford the way the kids want to eat but she also doesnt want them to starve and Clarke assuring her she's gonna try and talk to Madi but that she agrees that they can't just waste food like this. They are fine with Madi wanting to be a vegetarian and if the other kids want to as well but they have to eat what they are given. which they both know the kids like and that its good food.

Madi eventually forces herself out of her picky eating stage for her mom and her siblings and while yes, some things she really does dislike, she was just being picky for the sake of it with others and seeing the relief on her moms' face when the younger babies follow their older sister's lead is such a relief for Lexa and Clarke.

It also turns into Madi helping Lexa find recipes to replace their store bought frozen foods when possible, which she admits are so much better made from scratch by Lexa. Yes, sometimes looking at her classmates' lunches, being all frozen dinassaur nuggies and lunchables, makes her a little jealous, but she had too much fun making her little heart shaped veggie nuggets (well... circles, the baking made the heart completely disappear) with her mommy to complain.

[puckdoll]

Heyy so ik you're not really updating baby of mine anymore but I'd love to know what was your plan for the rest of the series! Bc I remeber you mentioned had some plan for that?

hello! yes unfortunately i have no plans to update baby of mine any time soon, the interest i had in it sort've waned, especially after the guentzel trade. ive had passing thoughts about adding to it, or at the very least writing an alternate universe for it (in the vein of the universe where sid gives jake up for adoption), but ive really lost the energy and passion for it. im always up for talking about it and discussion, though! who knows, it might spark something in me again.

i had several things planned for BOM, most of it partially written. the next thing i was going to tackle was jake's rookie year. he'd been brought up halfway through due to injuries, and would play well enough that he'd get to stay. he'd be dealing with a lot of stuff on a personal level; he doesn't really talk about his family, or talk in general, he's used to being a sort of outcast amongst his peers. its out of self-preservation, but through a lot of gentle coaxing he'd come out of it a bit. he and tristan would get to know each other extremely well, tristan only being a couple of years older than him in this verse. jake would buy sid and geno a house of their own, wanting to give them the life that they didnt get to have because they gave it up for jake. there'd be some pushback from sid and geno ofc, not wanting to take advantage of jake's hard earned contract, but jake eventually convinces them to. eventually i had it planned where sid and geno were able to go back to school; having a diploma/degree of some sort would help them both financially, and i think i had plans on sid becoming a high school history teacher/coach? not entirely sure what id do for geno, if he'd remain as a mechanic or not. he'd probably stay working at the original shop since he and the family were close; he'd probably become part-owner.

troy and trina would come back. contact had been minimal between them for years but thered be one or two moments where theyd show back up. itd be another point of stress for jake during his rookie season; not only is he expected to perform and keep up with these guys, but hes always been hassled by his grandparents, insults disguised as compliments. all of it would come to a head when jake answered one of the calls, took it out of the locker room, and got into a v v loud argument with troy. the others would overhear it, and jake cant run from it anymore, so he'd spill. the reaction isnt as big as he thought it'd be; yes everyone remembers The Next One and the talented player from russia, but its not like he's them. they know better than anyone that talent isnt inherited, that a lot of it is work ethic and game knowledge. ofc theyre curious as to what happened to them, a little surprised that they were teen parents, but its not like it impacts them at all.

eventually i'd cover the information actually coming out, with there being a much bigger reaction, but simply because what happened to sidney crosby and evgeni malkin had been a huge unknown. sid was sid malkin, but not legally, because they never "officially" married, so it was hard to look him up. evgeni went by geno so again, it was hard to find info on him, especially when everyone thought he went back to russia. there'd be a buzz around it for a while, but it eventually would die down after some interviews and articles and such. it'd be mentioned whenever sid and geno were at a game, because of course it would be. "look at the proud parents watching their son achieve the one thing they ever could" type of beat when the announcers would talk about it.

jake's "stardom" would be very similar to the way it is now. he's a very notable player, frequently picked for national teams and such. having the "secret" off his shoulders would make it easier for him to bond with the team too; i think after all of this would be when tristan and him would properly get together, because jake's finally happy, he can relax and just be who he is, without worrying about his future. his parents are provided for and happy, so he can be happy.

i think at some point there would be some reconciliation/character growth for troy and trina; like maybe after they see how the hockey world itself treats the news, they realize the huge mistake they made? perhaps therapy or something. it'll never be what it once was, and theyre on thin ice with sidgeno/jake, but theyre trying to be better. theres a lot of apologizing, a lot of deep talks about why they were so opposed to it all. a lot of it was fear and concern and their own disappointment, but some of it was irrational, and also based in xenophobia.

i had other ideas about the russian national team trying to file something that meant jake could only play for russian national teams bc his father was russian, and therefore they had claim to him over canada.

i also played around with some ideas of more teen sid and geno, like their first years and such, but those are just notes, not anything fleshed out
