Regulus waiting for James with his hand formed into a fist, obviously waiting for a fist bump.

James: Er?

Regulus, nodding and offering his fist:

James being confused af but still fist bumping Regulus anyway because what else can he do? Refuse? Over his dead body.

Regulus:

Regulus: Love you, bro.

James: What….

James, slowly raising his head: Did you….

James: JUST… call ME?!

Regulus already halfway down the hallway, manically laughing as he runs up the stairs with James immediately 3 steps behind him.

James: I AM NOT YOUR BRO?! I’M ‘BABY’ OR ‘SUNSHINE’ OR ‘MON SOLEIL’ OR ‘LOVE’! I AM MOST DEFINITELY NOT—

Sleeper and Dylan sketches!

I love them, and sleepers design.But yes! This is in fact cannon,but you might ask,how did this happen?

Well the movies of Venom 1 and 2 ARE cannon,however.During the kiss scene in movie one.

(This scene)

If Venom could feel eddies love and attraction for Anne,I could def see venom trying anyway possible to make his host happy.so in #072 cannon,Venom before leaving and running to Anne,stole some of eddies…*ahem* seed. And managed to inpregnate Anne with it.accidentally leaving revenants of himself with any was well.Causing sleeper and Dylan to be bonded since birth.So they have different lore than in the comics and how they met.So Anne and Dan thought it be best to let Eddie be present in his life (as well with venom) to teach Dylan and sleeper how to live in harmony.which they have better down than Eddie and Venom,since they’ve known nothing but each other.But nonetheless he’s there.Dylan being the sarcastic little fuck he is.Often imply he has three dads.Amd gives mo further explanation when anyone asks.

It hurts when i think about how piastri will overtake charles soon in the wdc. Charles' skills keep him within the top4, but his car and his team constantly fluctuate from good to downright clownery on race weekends, it's giving me ulcer

I wouldn't see it as bad anon!! We made a huge progress from where we were after Monaco and many people somehow fail to see Charles was first or fighting for the first place within drs range for the full race besides last what, three four laps? That's huge against a Mclaren, so i'm looking forward to the next races 😋

My daughter just got a new doll. And, of course, she has to name it.

"My doll's name is Rainbow Dot... No wait... Her name is-- I mean her last name is Ice-cream Melt... And her middle name is... Marie. Like mine."

Rainbow Dot Marie Ice-cream Melt. Not the most ridiculous name 2024 has produced, I'm sure.

embarrassing to look at US historical name trends and see that my name climbed rapidly in popularity among births in the mid-2010s when I named myself. however since I am 15-20 years older than all the baby Becketts I look like my family were trendsetters

I miss forums but specifically, I miss how forums have specific areas for things. like if you weren't done reading a series yet but you wanted to talk about it, chances were there was a spoiler-free section specifically for the first book. if you just wanted to chat with people about whatever, there was an off-topic section. if you wanted to discourse about vriska, you went to the vriska quarantine threads. now I take one step into a fandom tag and am barraged on all sides by 20 different tangentially-related conversations and arguments that I care nothing about
