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.

Recently been torn between “I kinda want to change my name” and “but Lex is such a vibe even if it is kinda gendered” but like not in the it’s causing me genuine distress way more the I’ve opened baby name websites way more than usual in the last few days
#the elf talks#does this make sense to anyone#to be fair I open baby name websites a lot anyway but there has been an upwards trend#and I’ve kicked around changing my name a few times anyway#and even primarily going by lex is a recent change#but like… still#idk

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 😋
#also wondering when mcl stops being worried about the floor upgrade#and if they will continue the upwards trend or fail like basically everyone else with floor update this year#rbr rb ferrari and merc to name a few#williams..... does williams even have a floor or is it still the flat ass baby we saw in monaco last year#ask#e

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.

no this isnt funny i was searching my blog for jealousy hcs as im writing this EXACT bit in a fic where kagz finds out aomine calls sakurai "ryou", and i see this:
#im so smart im so SMARTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT#in modern aokagz kagami only cares about being called taiga once theyre dating#aomine then never calls him taiga it's all just pet names#they can easily do that trend where someone calls their s/o by their name instead of 'baby' or w/e and the s/o is weirded out#them playing their first versus match and aomine calls him taiga on the court#and everyone else is like TAIGA??? SINCE WHEN ??? ARE THEY THIS?? FAMILIAR ??? meanwhile kagami is SEETHINGGGGG MY NAME ISNT TAIGA TO YOU#aokaga

nearly broke down when I remembered I had these wips and couldn't find them amongst my many other wips. thought i lost them when my hard drive wiped itself cleaned :'D
#wips#LN#agata#my little sun 🥺#(sorry. long tags warning ¯\_(ToT)_/¯)#no im still not over the hard drive incident. i will never be over it orz. BUUUUT!#let this be a reminder to always backup your works. twice. thrice. on spare google accounts. on phones. on micro sd cards ect. BACK IT UP!#damn. the second one is probably over a year old. almost done. just needed a few details. but now? i really am my meanest critic.#crying. just randomly remembered going over the mexican calendar of saint's with my aunts and uncles and smiling#at the fact that my grandma just picked their names based on the patron saint that corresponded with their date of birth#which is why the ''manañitas''—the mexican happy birthday song—mostly has the lyrics ''dia de tu santo'' (day of your saint) in place of#''dia de tu cumpleaños'' (your birthday). im sure it's still in trend. especially if you dont have a name or dont want to think#of one. like ''eh. i have a kid now. but no name for it. let's take a look at the calendar'' adsjfdgkkl#i bring this up cause while agata over here DOES have a name she does NOT have a canon birthday. and agata's name appears on said calendar#falling on feb. 5. though i kinda want her birthday to be on dec. 23. just for the sole fact that#nidhogg's falls on dec. 22 (sometimes the start of the winter solstice) and louie's falls on dec. 24 (a christmas eve baby 🥺 such a gift)#i just think it'd be hilarious for them. i can imagine them using the birthday card to not do anything and then midnight strikes and blam!#*snatching birthday kid's birthday crown* ''it's my turn with the birthday card. wash my cake dishes‚ yesterday's birthday kid >:)''#(no im not normal about them. i dont think i ever will be :'D)#eh. will see how i feel about her birthday situation. at least it's not names i have to worry about ToT

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
#I know reddit is still separated by topic but I've also been seeing a shift in reddit#where a lot of subs are becoming more like. homogenous with each other?#I've complained about /r/namenerds before but it used to be a sub to discuss baby name trends and interesting names across the world#but all the time now people post things about how their sister-in-law used the same baby name as them and it's like#okay sure. I GUESS that's barely related to names. but it's not what this sub is supposed to be#every sub on reddit feels like it's slowly slowly morphing into AITA for some reason. like crab evolution#personal ramblings#idk where I'm going with this I've just been lurking the godot forums for gamedev and got nostalgic for the mspa & wc forums
