#but just them being adults and not skrunkly little teenagers

[atleast3lizards]

Everybody assumes that when Tamaki is sick, he’s a melodramatic little baby about it. Hell, Haruhi had assumed the exact same thing for a long time. Mostly because she had never seen him sick.

The thing is, Tamaki almost never gets sick. He’s got a pretty good immune system, and he doesn’t so much as sniffle during allergy season, let alone suffer from colds. So when he gets the flu, nobody really knows how to handle his reaction to being sick.

Which is, of course, full-blown denial.

He refuses to admit that he’s sick. He’s got a burning fever and can hardly go two seconds without sneezing, but he will be Damned if he misses work. Haruhi found him standing at the door, wearing a pair of pajama pants, his bunny slippers, a half-buttoned up shirt, and a hot pink running jacket. She promptly tries to bring him back to bed, which feels akin to trying to cajole an over-tired toddler back into bed.

It takes him an extra long amount of time to get better, mostly because he keeps leaving bed and over-exerting himself when he’s meant to be resting. Haruhi takes it like a champ, mostly because she used to babysit for her neighbors. Surprisingly, baby sensory videos are just as effective on men in their twenties as they are on toddlers.

Propaganda:

Sophie Foster:

"THE character to me. Her story is about so many things all at once. It's about perspective, and how a different perspective can be so unbelievably important. It's about childhood and being a teenager and how adults react differently to teenage activism--with Forkle telling Sophie it's her job to save the world and teaching her how to lead, while others try to shield her from the world's harms and tell her it's not her job to face them--and it's about how neither is entirely wrong. It's about power, with Sophie always striving to have more and better abilities because she believes that's how she will save the world, when that's not how she'll save the world. It's about the terrible harms and injuries she faces in her pursuit of justice, and how they pose real consequences to her, even putting in her in bed for weeks on end (multiple times!). Sophie's story is about friendship and loss and love and justice and activism and determination and bias and loneliness and bullying and magic and, ultimately, it's about being young and facing a world that claims to be good and perfect while it so obviously ISN'T. Sophie is a character that faces that world and never gives up in trying to change it. Vote Sophie." @everliving-everblaze

Controversial Danny headcanon time: do you think he'd hurt children? I feel like as much of a monster as he might be, he would at least have some limits like no killing kids. Of course maybe that's just cus he's my skrunkly and I don't like the idea of him doing that but what do you think?

Oh boy I love controversial asks, I’m not kidding. Thanks for the ask, anon :)

Putting this under a cut due to the subject matter it entails, there’s also a mention of pregnancy.

TLDR; is no, he would not target kids specifically.

So, I think for starters it depends on how we define kid—do we mean anyone under the age of 18? Or a prepubescent child? Generally, I see him being open to killing teenagers… but I feel like he might not get much out of killing young children.

I can explain this here, it’s pretty simple. Children make good witnesses. An orphaned child also creates a sob story, and it creates a sense of anxiety in parents about the concept of their own mortality. You get continued publicity by way of continued community engagement about how this poor little murder orphan is doing.

Killing a kid gets fear and outrage… but it’s going to get lost pretty quickly among the rest of the murders, and at most it…what? Makes parents sequester their kids in their homes more?

I think his primary targets are always adults, whether they be young college students barely out of highschool or Grandma Shirley who lives down the block. I think teens would be a spur of the moment kill, something to keep engagement up, or otherwise collateral victims if they happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time when he’s targeting their parent(s).

Teens, like adults, are also a little bit better at trying to fight back. There’s going to be a little bit more of a thrill element related to it… whereas a child tends to have a very basic series of responses, cry, bite, scream, etc. They can’t really fight back… I honestly think he would probably only kill a kid if they posed a risk to him, like if his mask came off or something.

I think it’s a bit of a power complex thing… but I genuinely think he wouldn’t feel a need to target a child when his first kill was his dad. Like… if you can take out a middle aged man in presumably his prime… why would you need to purposely target children?

That’s Coward behaviour.

I think he wouldn’t target babies for the same reason (straight up just the baby scene from Halloween 2018).

I could see him maybe killing a pregnant woman though? Not entirely sold on this one. Feels a little dark, so maybe it would be the same as kids or teens where he doesn’t target them specifically, but it’s fair game when all bets are off.

ADDENUM: now that it’s been brought to my attention, I realize I failed to make one part clear. I think if he came up with a story that involved a child/pregnant person/a senior/ any sort of category that one might consider “bad to kill”…. I think he would still do it.

I think the story ultimately takes the priority, but it depends on what story he’s trying to tell.

Similarly, because his job as a reporter and interviewing family and friends is more likely to bring him into contact with other adults (since most people try to shield their kids and teens from horrible events)… the result still ends up being where he is more likely to focus on adults.

But I don’t really think it’s a “moral” decision. It’s based entirely on what he gets out of it.

An introduction to Sanya (for the uninitiated)

> auDHD. Gremlin. Will go off on the most unhinged tangents about the most out of nowhere, only vaguely by a stretch but mostly unrelated topics ever in the middle of conversation. Occasional 4th wall breaker.

> The living embodiment of "emotional damage." There is no therapy in the world they live in now so basically everyone's fucked. That's what happens when you're not picky about the souls you capture to convert into all-powerful beings to do your bidding.

> Literally just a kid from Ohio who got murder-kidnapped by magical freaks from another universe. Has an existential crisis every Wednesday about the fact that they are not actually alive in this point in time and is actually just magically VR-controlling someone else's corpse from the fucking aether. Has come to terms with the fact that every time they fall asleep there is a 50/50 chance the body's previous inhabitant will slamdunk herself into their dream to roast them for not being even more of a murderer, and then sit them down for important lute playing lessons.

> Spent way too long in the fostercare system and sustained severe irreversible damage to their psyche as a result. Has since been repeatedly wronged in various ways by every adult they've ever come to know over the years, with very few exceptions. Granted, none of the adults they know now are exactly stable, but they still treat them better than anyone else ever did.

> Has two girlfriends: a cute witch and an insecure goblin. Sanya was actually ready to fight said goblin to the death for their crush's heart and for allegedly being an enemy spy so it's really funny now the circumstances of their relationship.

> Looked like a normal human until recently. Singlehandedly dragged the party into an epic battle against a quasi-immortal demi-god-king drunk on necromantic power, dealt the fatal blow without an ounce of knowledge regarding the consequences to such an action, and accidentally almost doomed the world, only realizing this when the dead began to rise and chaos ensued. Turns out the man had bound himself to a mystical item that links the living world to the world of the dead or something, oof. The group mom had it handled tho nbd [flashbacks to a traumatic self-sacrificial ritual which the party was forced to watch helplessly, Sanya begging for death] it was fine. World not destroyed but that didn't stop literal Hell Gates from opening up across the country or demons from pouring out of them. Here We Go Again. Anyway they're a demon now which means they get a special Alter Form and that is how they gained the ability to turn into a furry red catgirl.

> Selective mute who does not ever shut the fuck up around the right people.

> Do not touch without consent they WILL bite. Enjoys headpets. Touch their hair and they will fall asleep on you.

> Wields Holy Hellfire as a magic ability. This is a terrible idea because it feeds off of and is fueled, specifically, by their emotions. Whether it fucks you up severely or not depends on if you fucked up big time and got on their bad side. (Side note: this teenager is NOT EMOTIONALLY STABLE and should not have this power in their hands. Worst Idea Ever.)

> Just a little guy. A little birthday baby. A sad, skrunkly kitty cat. The most anxious, traumatized child soldier with parental issues and a potential to destabilize the entire continent ever.

Hello and thank you for reading please ask me questions about this idiot so I have an excuse to inflict my hyperfixation on everyone even more
