Hi, anon who made that ask about Gabriel's and Nathalie's lovechild (the recent one). To be honest, I just thought of it a while ago. But maybe mid-late season 3 will work or early season 4. I really want to explore the messy relationships between the Agreste and the Bourgeois families, including Nathalie. Because how can you cut off someone who was basically there for your whole life? What do you mean when you basically see Nathalie as another parental figure amongst the many failed parents around you? How come that the coldest (exaggerating) and emotionally constipated person, who is your cousin and semi-childhood friend, gets to have a loving mother while both of your parents are assholes? (It's the abandonment issues for me, Adrien and Chloe have them and they'll suffering from the same issues as me).
I keep imagining where Adrien finally gets to discover some things about his family and himself while taking care of Nathalie and his half baby sibling. Where he doesn't have to mask his personality (personalities, he has identity issues, my god) around this baby. He can act silly, he can act serious, he can cry, he can get angry, he can feel like himself without anyone judging him for it (the baby will have a judgemental look though, all babies have that, only a few weeks/months in this world and they think they can judge people). And it'll make him feel more free than with Chat Noir. Chat Noir is focused on saving the world and his beloved lady, that's his number one priority (self sacrificial ass). Even when there are times when he disagrees with Ladybug or leaves, he'll always come back because Chat Noir is his escape, and Ladybug has his heart (no matter how many others may be his girlfriend, LB will always have the softest and constant place in his heart). And it hurts because he can't do anything that he can proudly call his own. He's too used to others ordering him around that he'll malfunction without them (a puppet who was made into flesh). And his baby sibling may just be the catalyst to make him take the first step to prioritizing himself, and he'll start by officially recognizing his half-sibling despite his father's demands and protests.
And with Chloe, I think she'll be able to separate herself from Audrey. I think she'll experiment with different clothes and accompany Adrien with his silly antics (she likes them, she grew up with him, they're both divas and have that default sassiness ingrained in them). Maybe she'll finally allow herself to be unexceptional, where she'll just be Chloe. Not the daughter of the Mayor of Paris or The Style Queen. But just Chloe, Adrien's and Sabrina's friend, Felix's childhood frenemy, a person who is proud but also hides herself from so many others, who is desperate for validation that she'll take it from anyone (even to those who'll break her to pieces). Because (to me) she's still that same little girl who kept trailing after her mother who will never notice her, nor give her the dignity to call Chloe by her name (and Audrey even calls Zoe by her name. She really hates Chloe so much). She has a lot of bad experiences with adults who let her down and didn't love her enough. Chloe knows that Nathalie has a heart (despite her last name) but she's also heartbroken and depressed due to these events (add in the fact that she might even be dying, that's one more parent that Adrien will lose). So, Chloe steps up, helps Adrien give this kid the love she didn't and can't have(she won't refer to the baby as her sister but she also doesn't deny it when others proclaim that they are).
Adrien and Chloe are blorbos, gremlins in my head, they can't leave it. Everytime I try to come back to Lukanette or Adrienette or Marigami, these two always pull me back in. It's been years, I just returned and they're never letting me out of their grasp.
Wow anon, that is quite a narrative journey you have going on. You should write it down and share it with people on AO3.
Is it Chloadrien siblings or a sort of childhood friends to eventual lovers sort of deal?
I will admit I do like Chloadrien whenever I explore up-aged later in life fics.

Would like to add my 2 cents onto the topic of Tallulah and Richarlyson's argument. I didn't live blog anything during that bc I realized fairly quickly that this argument they had was something that hit me very personally bc I've lived through it. It hit even harder due to me being an older sister with a younger brother
I can only speak about Bads stream bc that's who I was watching during this whole thing going on, so I dont know how it truly started besides Richas saw the painting Phil got from Cellbit and rightfully got upset about.
Just wanted to say how I loved Bad's handling of the situation with Tallulah. Reasoning with her while also validating her feelings bc it's so easy for parents to go "you're older, YOU have to apologize first" which... I have so many feelings about, but I could see that the conversation happening between BBH and Tallulah would be one of understanding and cooling down from an emotional moment. Also how Bad gave examples of his own experiences. How he's had fights with siblings or friends and understanding that SOMEONE has to apologize first bc you realize you both are in the wrong (which they were)
But chats refusal to see it like that truly got on my nerves. How no matter how many times Bad explained that they're kids and they'll overreact it just went through people's heads and they'd get upset about the situation again.
I can understand the reasoning some chatters had, but everyone NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND that this is roleplay. Yes the eggs are most likely played by people in their late teens to early 20's, but they're playing little kids, who don't have the emotional maturity of an adult, so that's how they're going to act: childish.
I thought Bad handled everything pretty well with the information he had, so I was very surprised to see that people were upset about it. I think there was no one on the server that could've handled that situation perfectly, and quite frankly I don't think there wasn't even a way to handle it perfectly at all considering you're dealing with two little kids and one way or another they'll get upset in which decision you make. Bad was great.
Forever's side for me was also completely understandable. I agree that he should have handled it better, but I also could see why he acted the way he did. A lot of people forget that Forever felt way more responsible for Tallulah because she's not his kid, Philza gave permission to take care of her after rejecting it once and he doesn't want to mess up. He will always be able to take care of Richarlyson after all this, but if he does something wrong with Tallulah, Philza will not let him take her again. It was a different type of responsibility. It was someone else's kid in his care!
And both Forever and Bad are also justifiable in thinking Richas was the immature one in that situation, because in their POV he put a material object over his relationship to his sister. That material might have a deeper meaning, but his sister would always be more important. Of course we, the audience, are very aware of Richarlyson's lore and that painting can't be compared to a normal real life painting, it's something much creepy and deeper than that, but their reaction over a situation like that for me was completely normal. If you're a parent of two kids, the last thing you want to see is one consider the other dead just because of a painting.
Also Richas never truly speaks about them besides saying he hates it, and that was the first time he actually expressed himself better about the whole Montelyson situation. So I hope he can communicate better in the future and their parents can get rid of that creepy thing once and for all.

I F***ED UP.
Dear Future Husband,
I made a big time screw up yesterday.
Let's get into that.
If you've read any of this blog so far, it should be pretty clear that I don't come from a healthy family. And in particular, my parents both have major problems, but as I don't speak to my father these days, most of the unhealthiness I discuss here has to do with my relationship with my mother.
And yes, this is another one of those stories.
For the last year+, MotherLivelyHeart tried to start an Amazon Affiliate Marketing thing. But, she was trying to cater to a niche market based on her medical issues, which wasn't really going anywhere because she works a different full time job and you need to really have the personality for affiliate marketing to make it work.
She kept trying to get me involved, but would take my advice with a grain of salt and then tell me she NEEDED ME to do certain things that she should have been able to do on her own.
I know she's a needy person, but trying to turn her dream into a family thing without asking me how much I wanted to be involved and just assuming I'd take on a brunt of the work for her, just drove me crazy.
As part of this whole journey, she was inspired by another Amazon lady she follows on whatsapp who is always posting deals and stuff, and she wanted to start something similar, so she created a whatsapp group and added a bunch of her/our friends.
She would post deals and stuff there, but the group only had like 20 people and she wasn't making enough off sharing the links and things so the Amazon system cancelled her affiliation. You can re-up (I think indefinitely, but I could be wrong about that), so she tried again and again, but there just wasn't enough traction.
Eventually, she let it lapse and decided not to try again.
So she pivoted, which was a great idea.
MotherLivelyHeart is a member of a bunch of other big whatsapp groups that she loves, including a foodie group for people across the globe which, since the war started, has been doing a lot for Israel too. She feels a part of a bigger movement and it helps her feel fulfilled.
Inspired by this foodie group, she decided to take the failed affiliate marketing whatsapp group she started and turn it into a place for our friends to share recipes, dinners, shabbos/yom tov ideas, etc.
So around the end of Nov 2024, she posted an apology for the group not going anywhere and announced that she'd be rebranding the group for this new purpose, which is when she added a bunch more of our other friends and started posting recipes.
And suddenly, a group that was relatively quiet became a lively place. Everyone encouraging everyone with different meal ideas, photos of what they're making, their favorite recipes or things they made up, etc.
And it became her new happy place.
She literally posted this a week ago:
Tumblr media
She pinned a post with the link to add friends, actively encouraging people to add their friends so that the group could grow.
All this was well and good until I f***ed things up yesterday.
You see, I reconnected with a cousin who also loves experimenting with food and stuff. I sent her number to MotherLivelyHeart and asked her to add her to the group.
That was fine and she was added.
I also chatted with a friend who I hadn't spoken to in a while who is also a foodie, and she said she'd love to join too. I sent her number to my mom and asked her to add her to the group.
Now, MotherLivelyHeart must have been working off of the whatsapp on her computer because the contact info didn't come up for this friend, so MLH made me an admin to add her.
Here's where this went off the rails.
I'm not sure if MLH made me admin just to add this one friend and was planning to remove me as admin afterwards, or if I was made admin to add whomever I wanted instead of having to go through her for everyone.
Either way, I was multitasking at work and clearly not thinking, because I messaged in a group that my sister and I have with some family friends in Israel asking if any of them wanted to join the group MLH created (making it clear it's my mom's group) and one of them said enthusiastically yes.
So I added her to the recipes group.
And then MotherLivelyHeart left the group.
FML.
As an admin, I could see that she left, but apparently nobody else sees that as a notification, which is probably a blessing because the timeline of events is:
added TheCousin
added MyFriend
added IsraeliFriend
MotherLivelyHeart leaves
All this without much being posted in between, which would have made it super noticeable and kind of a public statement for her to jump ship from HER OWN group without a word.
Now, right before she left the group, LilSis messaged me, asking if I'd asked MLH's permission before adding IsraeliFriend.
I was like, "She made me admin so I could admit whoever I wanted." Which, in hindsight may have been incorrect, but again, I was multitasking at work and that assumption was an innocent mistake.
I then asked "Is she mad?" assuming that she had messaged LilSis about it.
And she was like "She hasn't said anything, I was just wondering, since they kinda sorta had a falling out, I just feel like it's something she maybe would've wanted to be asked about first"
I said "Do you know something I don't? I thought the distance was just cuz of distance"
She responded "My understanding is mom had tried reaching out a number of times and didn't hear back, and then she posted that thing on Facebook about whatsisname, our old neighbor up the street who was accused of something, and IsraeliFriend reached out and was like these accusations are unfounded, you really should take that down, and mom was like I've tried contacting you for a while and never heard back, and now you reach out, about this? So mom was like I'm done, and i don't think they've spoken since And I just noticed she added TheCousin, and then MyFriend was added and then IsraeliFriend and everyone was greeting IsraeliFriend, and mom's gotten quiet on the chat so I was like 🤔😬🤷🏻‍♀️"
So I was like 😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬
And less than 15 minutes later, MotherLivelyHeart left the group. (I mentioned that to LilSis and she was like "what??" which is how I found out that only I could see that notification.)
Tumblr media
FML.
Because I guess we can't be adults.
I messaged MotherLivelyHeart asking why she left and she responded "Because you let IsraeliFriend in"
Me: I didn't realize that was a problem Are you guys not on speaking terms? Mom: Haven't spoken to her since my father died and my divorce was finalized For a good reason Me: I didn't realize that. I thought you guys were facebook friend Mom: Not for 10 years 🙈 Me: Sorry, I didn't realize. Mom: And don't even get me started on Daughter2 & Daughter1 Me: I didn't know there was bad blood there. I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to ruin it for you. Mom: If anyone asks, tell them I don't cook anyway Me: I feel awful now. I thought I was just expanding the group like you wanted. I had no idea I was creating machlokes for you. Mom: No worries Me: I do worry. It was your happy place and I screwed up
Now, I had the vaguest of recollections about all this, but her mentioning Daughter2 and Daughter1 brought back a bit of a memory....
I think what had happened was this:
MotherLivelyHeart and IsraeliFriend used to be best friends. By used to be, I mean in like the 90s. And that's MLH's best friend, not necessarily IsraeliFriend's best friend.
They lived all the way across town from us and moved to our street in like 1995 or something. The older kids weren't around much (that included Daughter1 and Daughter2), but as a whole they basically became an extension of our family.
Well, until MLH and IsraeliFriend had a falling out. I still don't know what that was all about. But we basically stopped associating with them.
The weird thing was that at some point when I was in seminary, MLH and IsraeliFriend ran into each other at the supermarket with LilSis and Daughter4 who like mournfully waved at each other across the store which apparently led to some majorly dramatic cinematic moment where MLH and IsraeliFriend hugged and cried and couldn't remember what divided them in the first place.
I had never really known Daughter1 so much, but now that everyone was friends back home, I was encouraged to reach out to Daughter1 who made aliyah my first year of seminary. We hit it off and I ended up taking them on as my chessed family and going to them basically every week and going over for shabbos meals and stuff.
Despite that becoming part of my regular life, I still hadn't spoken to IsraeliFriend in years, so it was super strange when I got back from seminary and it was just a regular thing that they were all doing shabbos together every single week. That summer between shana aleph and shana bet, I don't think we had a single shabbos meal without them.
Making aliyah was a dream for IsraeliFriend and her husband, but going off of some unexpected advice, they packed up and moved years earlier than they had originally planned. This led to complications with their home and business and a bunch of other things, but they are so happy to be in Eretz Yisrael.
So, how does this lead to another falling out? I think it comes from miscommunication, but I could be wrong.
You see, IsraeliFriend is old. Like, in her 70s. Now, granted a lot of old people are super into social media, but IsraeliFriend is not one of those people.
I've tried to look for receipts on this, but I think the fact that I can't find anything on any of her facebook pages (yes, she has multiple accounts, because again, she's a bit of a luddite so when she forgets her password for the account she hardly uses, she creates a new one) from 10 years ago, it's pretty clear she wasn't really using her social media.
But she and MotherLivelyHeart were facebook friends. So MLH would post things and tag IsraeliFriend, but IsraeliFriend never commented or liked any of the posts. Because she was hardly ever online.
I don't know if MLH messaged her privately or tried emailing her or calling or whatever the deal was, but apparently IsraeliFriend just never responded.
Let's all keep in mind though, that there's a time difference, MLH was working full time, and IsraeliFriend and her husband had to start working full time jobs in Israel because of the business issues they had when they left, and the rest of her time is spent taking care of her kids and grandkids (and now great-grandkids, ka"h!), many of whom have had serious issues over the years (mental health crises, cheating/divorce, drugs, hospitalized medical conditions, etc), so it's not like she's sitting around twiddling her thumbs and waiting for my mother to call or whatever.
But that's not really what caused the rift.
From my piecing together my recollections based on what LilSis and MLH messaged me, there was a drama with one of our neighbors, who has had his own host of problems in his life. He ended up getting arrested for something related to pedophilia, drugs, and weapons charges. I've tried searching and can't find anything on the pedophilia thing, so I think it was dropped, but the weapons and drug charges stuck and he ended up doing time.
So what does this have to do with IsraeliFriend and MLH? Well, CriminalNeighbor was kind of a ben bayis by IsraeliFriend for a while, so she knows him super well. And apparently she was on facebook around the time that MLH shared the community notice that CriminalNeighbor was a child-safety risk.
MotherLivelyHeart doesn't have anything related to him anymore on her facebook page, so I can't find the actual post or what was commented on it, and I don't even know if it was a public or private message from IsraeliFriend, but somehow she communicated to MLH that she should take the post down because the pedofilia thing was completely false and it's just spreading lashon hara.
The rumor that went around was that his ex was accusing him of these things to try to get the kids in some kind of custody battle. Considering nothing came of those charges, I'm guessing it was false accusations, but I also don't see anything about a defamation suit which is surprising considering there are still places in town that have his photo as someone to not admit to their business. Crazy.
Either way, I think because of the timing of everything (my grandfather having recently passed away, the divorce, etc) my mother became extremely offended that IsraeliFriend would contact her out of the blue about CriminalNeighbor.
I obviously haven't been privy to the messages between the two of them about any of this, so I don't know the details, but whatever happened all those years ago was apparently enough of a trigger for MotherLivelyHeart to waste NO time in leaving the group that she started without communicating to me why.
Yet, when I gave BigSis a ride like an hour later, she told me that MLH had messaged to tell her she was leaving the group.
And MLH didn't know I was speaking to LilSis about it, but she private messaged LilSis that she was leaving the group too.
And when I got home later she mentioned three people who she was clearly talking to on the side about getting together, probably because she messaged them privately too to let them know she was leaving the group.
So how many others are there?
She was willing to communicate with everyone that she was leaving the group.
Everyone except me. I had to ask HER.
Because of course I did.
MLH: I didn't realize you were in touch with her Me: Yes, LilSis and I are in a group with her and the family MLH: How did the whatsapp chat come up?
I mean, I mentioned it, obviously! They're food people. And I thought she wanted us to invite all of our friends. I didn't realize there was a limit to who I was allowed to be friends with or invite.
And I guess what frustrates me the most is that she didn't give it any time to see how things would shake out. She just reacted.
It's such a stupid, immature, petty, reactionary thing to do.
I'm in a group with girls I was in middle school with, including my middle school bullies. And one of these bullies recently mentioned that she doesn't remember much from back then because she's blacked it all out, which means she doesn't remember treating me like crap, so that's fun.
But I can still be an adult and be in a group with her.
Anyway, I told her it came up because they're food people and she responded with:
Tumblr media
Which is just so damn passive aggressive.
I repeated I was sorry and she replied with:
Tumblr media
Just one word.
Forgiven.
Which I HIGHLY doubt.
She was also at home alone when all this went down, so I'm pretty sure she cursed out loud at me without me around to hear it.
Because FML.
It was her happy, successful little community that she curated out of the ashes of so many failed attempts.
And I came along and screwed it up by adding one person.
Because of context I didn't know.
So she reacted emotionally and jumped ship.
Over a one-sided feud that's like a decade old.
This stuff is literally exhausting.
I'm going back to sleep.
So, dear future husband, yet again I apologize that this is the stupidity that formed me.
-LivelyHeart

MASTERLIST OF WANTED CONNECTIONS
OOC Note: Below you’ll find a list of connections I’d love to have for my characters. These connections can be filled by existing characters within the rp, or new ones! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if anything interests you. Nothing here is set in stone, all is open for discussion and fun plotting.
For LADY YUAN ANYA ( Read more about her )
YUAN FAMILY: One or two relatives from the YiTish region of Wan, or potentially, people who grew up in Westeros like Anya did. If they’re cousins, Anya only has male cousins back in Wan. The WC could be other members of the extended family. Any FC filling this connection must have Chinese heritage. You’re encouraged to contact me to chat more about this.
Helpful links: Yi Ti lore | WC for YiTish people in the North
Tumblr media
For LADY SEFFORA MERRYWEATHER ( Read more about her )
ALLIES: Longtable suffered because of the civil war within the Reach that was started by Seffora's late sister, Sienna. Since becoming a ruling lady, Seffora focused on rebuilding and aiding the widows and orphans of Longtable. Her focus now is to gain more allies and build strategic relationships that can help her address the needs of her people and her land. One particular concern is the decreased male population after the civil war. Seffora needs to build alliances that can bring in workers, soldiers and men that can become people of Longtable.
Helpful link: Merryweather background
COUSIN/LORD MERRYWEATHER: Seffora didn't grow up close to her cousin, since she spent a good portion of her life in Goldengrove as Tirius Rowan's ward. An important event in this lord's life is that he got into some trouble not long ago as he attempted to run away and elope with Harlon Tarly's sister, Talia (who is now Lord Gael Hightower's wife). I'm very open to the kind of dynamic these two have, if they have gotten closer since Seffora returned to Longtable and became ruling lady, or if they remain somewhat distant to this day.
Helpful link: Longtable history
Tumblr media
For QUEEN IONA TULLY ( Read more about her )
COUNCIL MEMBERS: Positions for the small council need to be filled: Lord Commander of the Queensguard (Potential Houses can be Erenford, Paege, Mudd, Vypern, Ryger of Willow Wood. Open to other house options), Master/Mistress of Laws (Potential houses can be Fisher of Misty Isle, House Hawick of Saltpans, House Justman), Master of Ships (From House Mallister) and Master/Mistress of Coin (Preferably from House Frey, but open to other house options). Some houses mentioned above are vassals to other larger houses. If you select a vassal house, you can choose to keep your muse a vassal or let them have one of the open locations that don't have a canon noble house: Bechester, Briarwhite, Fieldstone, Ramsford, Riverbend, Sweetwillow, Swynford.
YOUNGER BROTHER/PRINCE: He was away from Westeros and was presumed dead for a time, and that's why the crown went to Iona and not him. Now that he's back, we can have fun familial and political drama.
YOUNGER SISTER/PRINCESS: One of the two youngest Tully siblings, the twin sister of Mellara. I would love to include this sister in the Tully family dynamic.
Tumblr media
For LORD DEIMOS VELARYON ( Read more about him )
YOUNGER BROTHER: This is Deimos' only remaining brother after the death of Aerion. This brother would be a Lord of Driftmark, and also the Ruling Lord of Sharp Point (approximate age would be 30 - 34). It would be great to add this brother to the Velaryon sibling dynamic, see where he stands on Valyrian exceptionalism or the politics about the Crownlands and Stormlands, the view he had of their parents, etc.
Tumblr media
For LORD PERCIVAL TEMPLETON ( Read more about him )
PAST LOVES/BETROTHALS: Percival has had a long list of failed relationships and betrothals that never led to marriage in the end for a variety of circumstances. I'm interested in two past relationships: 1) one that took place around 134ac, 2) the other one around 139ac - 140ac. We can plot why they got together (arranged, romance, etc), why it ended, and what their dynamic looks like today.
Tumblr media
For LUCIUS RIVERS ( Read more about him )
PLATONIC/ROMANTIC CONNECTION: Chemistry-based, if Lucius and her vibe well it can turn romantic, we'll see. And I want to emphasize that this is very unlikely to be endgame due to status differences and potential religious differences too. This woman would be someone Lucius has met recently, and he's become quite soft for her. I really want to explore a vulnerable side of him with someone, and I think this would be the person with whom he shows this side of him.

chapter 19: an almost deleted scene (2)
(a/n: alternative title for the chapter: Feisty)
"Okay, take out your lipgloss" Poppy scattered her collection of BeautyRush on the school desk.
I had two lip smackers that my sister had gifted me. One was skittles, the other one was sprite. I also had a roll-on straberry gloss I had bought myself (my parents' money) at "Todo Moda" during the weekend. The five of us put them in the middle of our school desks making a considerable collection that looked so cool in their plasticky colorful glory and, idk why, we put them into a light green plastic pencil holder that Poppy had brought from home.
"This way we can share while we're in class!" It was a cool shiny display in the middle of our school supplies. Our gloss obsession was a bit deluded and silly but the bond between us sharing them felt so real. We were doing geography or math and we had taken over the desks at back of the classroom. Mr. G hadn't scolded anyone for completely disregarding the sitting chart and changing places, so my friends and I were all together in one "school team", rolling with it. We all went in to take one, I chose the most true-pink gloss, almost like a magenta shade that looked just clear on the lips. It smelled like pure sugar. I was happy that MJ took my Skittles lipsmacker.
"1, 2, 3, lipgloss"
"That one is so dumb, guys" called out Liv. Maybe it was, but we just laughed.
"This is awesome"
We nodded in agreement with Ella, I flipped my front pieces of hair off my face so it didn't stick to my lips, the now familiar thick texture of petroleum jelly making me smell berries under my nose.
"Oh, wait. Careful with the cherry gloss!" Said Poppy pausing the silly bliss of the moment.
"This one??" I asked showing her mine.
"No, it's red. The 'cherry bomb' one isn't clear gloss, it's so so red."
"Which one?" we all were moving the glosses around on emergency mode all over the desks but it wasn't there. Then I smelled cherry. We all darted our eyes to the head of the table.
"Wait, this one?" Ella's lips were dripping red like a vampire frozen in spot with the lipgloss still pressed to her bottom lip, squeezing more product out. It was definitely THAT one and we all cracked up laughing. It smelled really fucking good, I could smell it from 1.5 metters apart, holding on to my chair while laughing so much I could've fallen to the ground. Ella bursted out a laugh still confused, not knowing how funny she looked but having an idea by how much we couldn't stop laughing. Her lips were red, the gloss making a line down the left corner just like blood, and MJ didn't miss the moment to call her sexy. Elizabeth sent each one of us a flying kiss, playing along to the dumb sexy vampire jokes. I wiped my tears away to keep writing down whaterver we were copying from the blackboard, still carrying a giggle in my chest.
That afternoon we were messing around still at school before Jazz. We all had been perfecting a walking technique, a model stride that made your hair move in the wind, even with zero breeze needed. My friends and I would line up and practice before dance class or recess or whenever we could in the hallways, each starting with the right foot on the count of 3 to be coordinated. By this moment, it was a nonchalant reflex to go everywhere chatting while walking like that. So we walked the length of the running track at least three Times just to enjoy ourselves while discussing TV shows, probably talking about Shake it Up's latest aired episode.
"I almost cried with 'Add it up', it was so good." MJ held Ella by the shoulder while still strutting with us.
"Yeah!! I liked it better than 'Meatball it up'" She agreed. I was wondering how in the hell they knew the episodes' names.
"Rees? Did you catch 'Add it up'?"
"Mhh... I don't think so..." I had watched the first episode and the Olive Garden one like five Times now, but apparently I was missing more. Sometimes my mom would be late to pick me and my sister up from school and I couldn't catch it before America's Next Top Model started.
"O.M.G. You'll love it" MJ would spell out OMG when talking. "It's about Cece!" A smile grew on my lips.
"Lame, Rees! Keep up with the episodes!" Ella and I had the most savage friendship at Times, so I pushed her by the shoulders, making her laugh and starting a quick physical fight between us. After being stopped by MJ who was giggling and Poppy who finally snapped out of counting the petals of a pink geranium from The Flowerbed, we reached the basketball court. The four of us found a bech facing the basketball court to chill at before having to change out of our school uniforms. The boys before jazz were still annoying, but today we were hanging around them even while they were having basketball practice. Everyone was in for the banter, which some days could actually be just innocent enough to make us more friends and less enemies. MJ and Poppy were bickering with the boys warming up for practice. Ella and I were once again quoting Disney Channel not paying too much attention to the dudes doing shoulder rolls and neck stretches wearing baggy basketball shorts and tanktops.
"I tipped over the canoe, I cut my lip... and my top came off." I was even copying Cece's voice and closing the imaginary olive green jacket over my flat chest. We would do this scene all the Time, unprovoked.
"Cece, you were 10. Nobody even knew you were a girl." Ella was my Rocky, pretending to sit back on a bench in the Chicago subway. (The irony in this, I was currently actually 10 loll).
"I knew!!" our cadence was exact, and in the end we would burst in laughter and repeat it all. The rhythm between us was the best thing, like a quick witted game of cards we had perfected.
"Go Joe!" Poppy was being her extra cutesy self, while the team did some laps around the court. Joe winked at her, still running.
"Get out of the way, girls" Max came up to us, pretending she was about to throw a ball to our face and retrieving it at the very last second before it hit us. We were so used to it by now, we barely even flinched.
"Stop that!" Poppy whined in complaint of the aggressive game.
"Let me try" Ella jumped up and quickly took it out of her hands.
"No. Let go" MJ, Poppy and I were now laughing at the scene. Both girls fighting over it, Ella hunching over the ball hidding it from her reach, her curly hair falling over her face.
"It's mine now, Max" she stated with a laugh.
"Noo, Elizabeth, let go." Max was trying to use her elbow to make the dirty synthetic ball fall from my friend's grip. Max lets out a laugh too. "Ella."
"Ohhh, Max can be nice. Did you just call her "Ella"? I loved pissing her off like this. She looked me in the eye with half a laugh and her basketball back in her hands.
"Watch it, Rees" She did the trick again, only this Time the ball actually hit me straight in the face by accident. "Omg, sorry" She was laughing but sounded genuinely surprised by the slip. We were laughing too, cause it was one of those good days. She rubbed my forehead a bit, holding back a giggle.
"I'm fine, I'm fine, thanks" I acted just a bit pissed keeping her hands away, but finding it funny too.
"You girls are distracting" Mick yelled wearing that crush he had on both Poppy and MJ on his sleeve.
"So focus" asked MJ. I could laugh so much when my friends acted like this. Some of the guys were finishing their laps now, panting from the running, while forming a group in one corner of the court.
"What are those? The cheerleaders?" Their coach was paying attention now, shading his eyes with one hand to be able to see us better. He was so deeply annoying.
"Yea, they're our cheerleaders" Joe agreed, he seemed very okay with the idea and I fucking hated his coach.
"In your dreams" Poppy blew her boyfriend a sarcastic kiss, while she walked her way closer to them. The rest of us following behind to back her up.
"Oh, we'd never be cheerleaders for you." MJ was being real now, sniggering.
"You should! Isn't that what you do?" This was getting my blood heated.
"Oh, they're your friends who do dance" their coach didn't speak directly to any of us.
"Yes. So you could cheer if you're going to be here watching us"
"We dance. It's so not even similar" Ella corrected Rick, her arms crossed. We nod our heads, as if all of us had said the thing.
"What's the difference, again?" Max was back to being annoying, and the boys were too, laughing.
"You just twirl around in mini skirts" They all broke into a laugh at Rick's joke. I didn't know the word "misogyny" at the Time, but these dudes were constantly making me discover the concept from firsthand experience.
"Cool, as opposed to what?" I had been quiet but my voice appeared harsh and hostile. "Running like graceless deadbeat horses after one single lap? The team is terrible ?" I said bluntly making them silent. I wasn't used to talking back like this, even worse cause it sounded like my insult went out to an adult too. But what the fuck?!
"Yea... you guys always lose your games" Poppy added, her eyebrows furrowed. And it was true.
"Girls, we're in the middle of practice. You can't even be here to start with." The adult who started this decided to speak again. "Imma ask you to leave"
"Yea, kick them out coach!" our classmates encouraged him finding their laughter again, booing.
"Yea, let's go girls." Said MJ. That was the cue for our hair flips but this was too serious for that. "Enjoy your stupid class" She murmurs, starting to walk away. I know most of them caught her words.
"It was a joke, girls!" Despite de half-apology, Joe was partially still laughing.
"You are a joke!" Ella had to scream it from the other side of the courtyard and I knew it was a good retort to exit with. I flipped my hair subtly over my shoulder to feel less shaken up as we walked lined up, all four pairs of legs matching the beat.
"Damn! Graceless deadbeat horses was insane, Rees" says Ella as a compliment. I hear the naughty snigger on her voice and we all break in a bit of a laugh at what I said, hopefully they'd hear us giggling. I wanted them to know it had no effect on us.
"'Enjoy your stupid class' was crazier" I break from the line to jump a bit and look at them. "And Ella, just now?"
"It was good" says Poppy in deep recognition of the scene. We strode taking the short hallway to get completely away from their sight. The running track was more populated yet chill as always. It felt funny, even if we had to take some punches, I was so fixated on the good parts. Did I really have those harsh comebacks in me? We kept walking,four different shades of medium to dark brunette hair moving in a made-up breeze of our own.
"I really hate the boys, though. And Max." MJ was setting the pace for our coordinated walking.
"Yea... we should stop talking to them. And the school should get a cheer team, maybe that would show them how hard that also is." I state, feeling a bit amused. They conversation gets cut short cause we see a girl a year below ours was approaching us, directly to Poppy. I couldn't tell right away, but then I recognized her brother's hazel eyes.
"Hey, can I talk to you for a minute?" Joe's sister was asking for a word with her.
"Sure, Sienna. I'll see you in a minute, guys"
"Catch us at the bathroom" Poppy nodded at Ella's words while picking up her pace to match Sienna's. It was not the first nor the second Time this happenned. She was good looking, prettier than Joe and she had a cunning look in her eyes he didn't have. Poppy had already told us how Sienna was a big cause of drama and arguments between Joe and herself. She had even cried to us about it a couple days back, so I didn't understand how she would still have these private conversations with her but... I think she was trying to get on her good side, so she stopped talking shit about her to her brother, making them fight.
"Hmm... Sienna is a bit..." MJ started.
"Yea, I don't like her either." stated Ella. I sighed. I mean, I didn't even fully liked Joe to begin with, so. "Anyway. Let's get changed?"

----
It's Saturday afternoon and Eddie gets to your house as planned to work on your chemistry assignement due on Monday. As soon as he parks his van, he hears total chaos coming from inside. He chuckles, guessing the source of said chaos. He opens the front door and what he sees confirm his theory. All the youngster are there, spread all over the living room and the kitchen. Eating sandwiches and chips. It's loud but you look so happy. You are chatting and laughing with El, Max and Will sitting in the living room. Dustin, Mike and Lucas are eating and arguing in the kitchen.
Everybody warmly greets Eddie.
"Guys, you need to clean up and leave soon if you don't want to miss the movie!" you say.
They all get up, hurrying to finish their lunch and put the dishes in the dishwasher. Getting ready to leave. Today's plan for them is afternoon at the movies and sleep-over at the Byers.
"Dustin, don't forget the banana bread!" you shout, grabbing the container and putting it in his backpack "You guys leave some for Joyce, Hop and Jonathan".
"I'll try my best" he says laughing.
You and Eddie watch as they all jump on their bikes (or skate) and leave for the movie theater.
You get back inside.
"Eddie, I have leftovers, i'm making us sandwiches!" you say.
He smiles. By now, he knows there is no refusing food from you. Besides, why would he refuse, he loves all the food you make.
"I'm sad the banana bread left with Dustin" he jokes.
"Don't worry, I hid our portions. I also have extra for Wayne". you answer.
"Of course you have Princess. I don't know why I was worried" he winks at you.
Yes, the nickname stayed, and yes you love it. Add the winks... goosebumps. You like Eddie a lot as a friend, but at this point you know for sure you love him and oh my do you want him. Is the flirting a game? You don't know, but boy do you enjoy it.
You both go to your bedroom with your food. Eddie takes a first bite of his sandwich. He moans and closes his eyes.
"Princess, even your sandwiches are heavenly. What's in there?" he says.
"Can't say, secret ingredient. Family secret" you reply.
"Wow, now I have to marry you to know everything" he answers.
You laugh "You want to marry me for my cooking skills?".
He gets that naughty look on his face and answers "Oh I'm sure you have plenty of other skills worth discovering"
You laugh...and you blush "Ok Munson, that was sexy. You win this round".
You both smile at each other.
"Ok, let's do this damn chemistry assignement so we can have a little peace for the rest of the week-end" you say.
After a few hours, you are both tired but you are finally done with the assignement. It's now dark outside. The only lightening in your bedroom is from the lamp on your desk. You and Eddie sit in a confortable silence at your desk. You start touching his forearm, tracing the bats from his tattoo.
"I like this one" you say.
"Yeah? I didn't know you liked tattoos" he looks surprised.
"I love tattoos!" you reply.
"Do you have any?" he aks.
"It depends, can you keep a secret?"
Eddie face is a mix of shook and amusement "You do, you totally have at least one! No way! I want to know!".
"Oh my God, Eddie" you laugh but you are also worried "I'll tell you everything but you have to promise to keep it a secret. My mom would kill me".
"I promise" he says, mimicking locking his lips and throwing away the key. He looks super excited.
"Ok, nobody knows. For real, nobody but you. I have two small tattoos. Got them at a small tattoo shop while I was in Indianapolis last summer".
"That is so cool. I did not see that coming Princess. Pleasantly surprised" he says with a big grin "Where are they?".
"Well, let's say they are well hidden so my mom can't see them even when i'm in a bathing suit".
"I think i'm gonna faint" Eddie says as he rubs his hands on his face.
You laugh "Are you blushing? Am I winning a new round?"
He stays silent for a moment. Face still in his hands.
"I'll show you mine if you show me yours" you say.
He takes his hands off his face to look at you. He is definitively blushing and you win this round. A victorious look on your face.
"Princess, you will be the death of me" he sighs.
You decide to push it further. You are alone with him. Nobody is coming home until tomorrow. And this proximity with him in your poorly lit bedroom is making your head spin with desire. Also, you did what to see all his tattoos.
"It's a serious offer" you tell him.
He stops smilig, still blushing but now also very curious "Really?"
"Yup, but you go first. Show me all your tattoos. And no lifting part of your t-shirt or pants. You have to take the piece of clothing off. That's the deal". And that was a pretty good deal considering you were wearing only a dress.
"Deal". He gets up and quickly takes off his t-shirt.
You stand up and get closer to him "Can I touch you?".
"... yes" he replies a little shaky.
You smile but don't look at him. Your fingers slowly and gently touching his tattoos. Some of them you knew he had, some are new to you. You get to his back to discover big bat wings tattoos. You continue touching, taking your time, contouring the tattoos. You can hear his breathing changing. You feel the goosebumps on his skin. And you enjoy it... a lot. You come back to face him, tracing the tattoos on his chest, slowly coming down to the one besides his happy trail and disappearing a little under his pants.
"The bats on your forearm is still my favorite one" You put your hand on his lower abdomen tattoo "But this one has the best placement for sure". He puts his hands on yours. Your eyes meet his and there is no doubt on both your minds. This isn't just a game. You bite your lower lip and you shiver a little.
"Your turn Princess. I want to see yours now" he whispers.
"You'll have to find them" you softly say has you turn around and hold your hair out of the way so he can unzip your dress. He gently does and your dress falls to the floor. Leaving you only in your underwear. Nice black ones of course. You were always ready in case the flirting would lead to more.
His hands and his eyes are exploring your body. Searching for your tattoos, but it's also way more than that. It's very sensual while being very respectful. No inappropriate touching, He takes his time, slowly touching you everywhere your skin is exposed and paying attention to your reactions. At this point, you can't help making little sounds. Moans and sighs. But you don't feel self-conscious at all. You feel confortable, high on Eddie. You feel on fire. You are really enjoying this. This is foreplay and you are in heaven.
After exploring your legs, he stands up, dangerously close to you. Close enough for you to clearly feel on your stomach that this was working for him too.
"I can't find them" he says.
You lustly look at him "Guess you are going to have to take my underwear off to see them".
He licks his bottom lip and takes your face in this hands "I really want to kiss you right now" he confesses.
You look at him and reply "I always really want you to kiss me".
He blushes, smiles and leans over to kiss you. His hands finding your waist while yours find his neck. And it's soft and perfect and everything you wanted and then hungry and full of more desire from both of you. He grabs your ass and lifts you up. You wrap your legs around his waist. You can feel him kiss you everywhere he can while taking you to your bed.
Finally, this is happening.

⌇*。゙ —— look who’s joining the infinite tour! only IM KANGSAN, who is the MANAGER OF AHN MINSEOK. i’ve heard whispers that the 30 year old is pretty COMPOSED but lowkey PREOCCUPIED. also, doesn’t he remind you of MIN YOONGI?
hi lovelys, i'm yodi!! i have work really soon, but i wanted to put this out before i head that way xx this is my angel kangsan, who is a single dad, minseok's manager and *sammi voice* the sweetest bitch you'll ever meet. you can find some stats here (headcanons are yet unfinished i'm sry) and some details under the cut! as for plots, i prefer to get to know the muses a bit and then sort of build something off their personalities, so i don't have a dedicated list. but if you'd like to chat about our muses and get something going, drop a like here and i'll come to you! alternatively, you can add me on discord at ⌇ * 𝙰𝙼𝚈𝙶𝙳𝙰𝙻𝙰. 。゙#4742
x. san was the oldest of three children in a close knit family of five in the nam district of busan, near seonam lake park.
x. he had a younger brother and sister he was always running around after, while his parents worked tirelessly at their crafts to provide a comfortable upbringing for the family. his mother was the head chef at an upscale restaurant, while his father traveled the world with a guitar and a dream.
x. his father sang folk music; that and classic jazz would often fill the household. kangsan loved sitting on his father's knee while the older im strummed his guitar. san would always try and play along on the strings, attempting to match his father's strums, but usually just throwing a wrench in the melody. his father never cared though, he'd simply let kangsan fumble with the strings.
x. san knew music was his future before he even knew what careers were. for his 7th birthday, his father gifted him a child sized guitar so that he could truly begin learning the craft. his father was a masterful guitarist and a patient teacher. whenever he was home, he spent at least some of his time in his studio instilling all he knew into his son, while san's brother and sister watched on and laughed at every missed note.
x. most of the time, however, kangsan's father wasn't home. he was a fairly successful musician, and he had the touring schedule to prove it. he'd be summoned to military bases to perform for soldiers, before being whisked away to the united states to do at least two dozen scattered shows across the country. his absences could be months long, leaving his family in disarray for large chunks of the year.
x. his mother seemed to be a miracle worker during this time. despite working full time, she always made sure the children felt loved and cared about, were fed, bathed and doing well in school. san could never figure out how she did it, but it impacted him with a level of respect he'd probably never have for any other person.
x. he started to notice that when his father came home, his parents were rather distant from one another. they didn't have the same loving rapport as before, and given that san was getting older, he knew what was coming.
x. there was something his mother said in one of their final arguments before filing for divorce that would stick with kangsan forever. "how does it feel coming home to see your children visibly taller and knowing that you missed every single centimeter?" san loved his father, and he loved music, but he decided then and there he'd be a different kind of father to his own future children.
x. it amazed san that his mother was so supportive of his pursuance of music considering everything that happened with his father. but she knew a wandering soul when she saw one, after all. she gave kangsan her blessing to forgo university for the time being to try and become a professional musician. he was extremely skilled in guitar by then, preferring the smoother and more relaxed melodies of jazz over his father's rough and tumble folk stylings.
x. it took him about two years to fall in with three other jazz musicians, all with aspirations of hitting the road with their original music. hanging out with his friends, drinking, writing songs they all loved, figuring out their unique style; these were some of the happiest years of san's life. the dawning of mipung.
x. things became even better once they found a small, independent label willing to sign them. san was never that great at promoting or being any sort of mouthpiece for the band. his strengths were found in performing live, often getting lost in the feeling and performing impromptu guitar solos while his other bandmates were getting water or chatting with fans in the front row.
x. they weren't superstars by any stretch, but they certainly found their niche following. mipung put out a total of eight albums, and the band toured consistantly; their fans nicknamed them tueoagma (tour devils). san had ceaseless fun and made great money, as well as industry connections that would serve him well.
x. it was during one of their local tours that he met kim saejeong, a bartender in gwangju whose smile reached both her eyes and his heart with little effort. the two texted back and forth for a couple of months before things went any further. it wasn't long before the pair had shirked tradition and moved in together, fully engrossed in the honeymoon stage.
x. the couple certainly wasn't trying for it, but saejeong became pregnant along the way. they were both fairly happy about the revelation, even though kangsan knew it meant it was time to hang up his guitar. he was going to keep his promises.
x. he informed the band that he'd be formally retiring to care for his son full time, not wanting a constant performing schedule to take away any precious time watching him grow up. he held no grudges against the life his father had chosen, but in his heart of hearts, he knew he wanted to walk a different path.
x. it was a pretty dramatic shift, going from being a full time musician to a full time father, but it was one that san relished in. things had fallen into place quite well, or at least san thought so. he doted on little yongtae as if he were the most precious creature in all of nature. however, he didn't count on things becoming somewhat awkward between he and saejeong. they'd gone from being partially at arm's length by his schedule to now being around each other all the time. their love for each other no longer filled the rooms of their home. it all felt strikingly familiar. they both loved yongtae, but it was obvious they were falling out of love with each other.
x. rather than keeping the charade going any longer, the two broke up for good when yongtae was a year old. it was relatively amicable and civil, with the two agreeing to share legal custody. it was the healthiest situation for all involved, but kangsan couldn't help but feel like a failure. he thought quitting music was some sort of foolproof way of keeping his family together. he'd been an idiot thinking anything was for certain.
x. still, he couldn't fall into a bout of self pity. he had a son to care for; though it was high time for him to find something to do with himself while yongtae was with his mother. he needed some sort of work to keep himself occupied. when he called up a few industry friends, he expected maybe a producing slot or perhaps even a guitar instructor position; something that was somewhere in his wheelhouse. instead, he was presented with a rather intriguing opportunity.
x. a soloist was in need of a new manager at infinite entertainment, and for whatever reason, kangsan's friend thought he'd be a great candidate for the position. san didn't expect the interview to land him the gig, as he was lacking a degree, but the company mysteriously overlooked it and hired him anyway.
x. i definitely want to explore their dynamic with minseok's mun, but i like to think minseok would have kind of become kangsan's work son 😭
x. when the tour was announced, kangsan couldn't help but be a little bit worried about missing out on time with yongtae, but to his disbelief, san's father began tagging along with him to help take care of the baby while san was working. in a weird way, everything seems to be turning out well so far. san gets to connect with his son, reconnect with his father and delve back into a life he never thought he'd live again.

Bad Buddy (Thailand)
BL (Boys' Love)
This is going to be a long one so just be prepared. This is one of the best shows I've seen in the BL genre and I've seen almost all of them, especially from Thailand. Like I fell in love with these two so much that I watched edits all week until Friday when the next episode came out. I really don't know what I'm gonna do without them since the show is over now, but here we are. Also, I'm going to add some screenshots I took from some of the scenes I mentioned here, and then at the end, I will put some screenshots of some of my favorite moments. I hope you enjoy this review enough to go watch it yourself. I will try my best not to put spoilers, but that will be really hard so I will just mark where a spoiler will be and you can choose whether you want to continue on or not. I commend anyone who fully reads this LOL
This was amazing, there was nothing toxic about their relationship like some BL's tend to be, they were wholesome and every episode had fluff to the max. The thing I loved most about this show is that they explore sexuality differently than other BL’s in that when Pat is talking to Pran, Pa, and Ink, he says that maybe he had always liked men, but he just realized it now. They have him think about it in a way that isn’t “I don’t like boys, I just like you” and that is one of the big reasons I love this. It isn't the norm in these shows and having a character like Pat, who had a crush on a girl since high school, say that is really powerful. I do think he had a crush on her, but the way he felt for Pran was different than his crush on Ink. What I mean is, I think he just had strong feelings for her whereas with Pran he was able to be himself, he was able to smile, joke around and be truly him.
Every emotional scene with them was very good as well, they were able to portray their emotions as the characters so good, it was like you weren’t even watching a show. Another big thing I loved was the hospital scene where Pran tells Pat that he doesn’t like being called Wifey, he asks Pat if it makes him feel superior and at first, pat was kind of caught off guard, but then he responded by saying that he can call him Wifey instead. Pran did and Pat made a face and kind of cringed, Pran asked how it made him feel and Pat said he understood now. This was so good I really appreciated this scene because it basically combats the toxicity of that word in BL’s.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I loved Pa, Pat’s sister, she was so supportive of her brother and Pran’s relationship and even helped them keep their relationship a secret from their parents. She and Pat’s chats were amazing and always so deep especially when it came to relationships and stuff. He was even able to open up about Pran with her as well when they first started dating which also was something I loved about her. She didn't care, even though her family was fighting with Pran's, she knew it wasn't their fight and there was no reason to hate the neighbors like their parents do. And the fact that Pa was even so fast to open up about being in love with Ink, Pat’s past crush, shows how close they are. She even asked Pat if he was okay if they were together and he said that if they had dated then he would probably be a little upset, but they never went out so he was fine he also added that if he could fall for the neighbor's kid, she could fall for anyone. They respect each other and it shows, her wanting his blessing before making a move on Ink is a lot and Pat having her there to help with Pran and his relationship was everything. They really have each other back as they should, their sibling dynamic is everything. (If you have siblings, you know that not every sibling relationship is like this.)
After writing that, I now realize, Pran never had that, he never had that support system that Pat did. Which I think is part of the reason that he had buried all of his emotions, he had no one to confide in about anything. He had Wai, his best friend, but he hated Pat, so he couldn’t exactly feel comfortable talking about him with Wai. It kind of makes me realize too that with Pran not having that, it makes he and Pat’s relationship more meaningful and deep because he finally had someone he could lean on when he needed to, someone who could love all of him. His mom basically controlled his life, he had to keep his mouth shut (like not talk back and stuff) and stay focused, which is also a big reason as to why he was the way he was. He had to have his chopsticks the same length, always eats three wontons, keeps his pens straight and in color order, and he never talked back or really even fought. These were things he had control over, things his mom couldn't dominate in his life. When he finally stood up to his mom, she was shocked. Though she had her reasons for her unwillingness to allow Pran and Pat to be together, it had nothing to do with them, it wasn't their fight. She was holding on to something that happened between her and Pat's father, granted what he did was wrong, but this past fight was not about the kids or the business and should not have descended on to them and their lives. Pat's father was a total jerk with what he did to Dessaya (Pran's mom), but I think that keeping it a secret from the kids was unfair to them. **SPOILER** He stole her scholarship and all he did was take over his family business, he didn’t even use the scholarship. It was going to be her whole life and he just took it away from her. **END OF SPOILER**Their fight is understandable, but keeping Pat and Pran apart because of something between them wasn’t fair especially with how much they ended up loving each other.
In Episode 11, it was literally all fluff, they were being very lovey with each other and had a little fight, but made up quite quickly. They realized they had to go back home eventually and came up with a plan that would be good for everyone. Though they did not discuss this plan, we didn't even know there was a plan, all we knew was that they were about to do something big, "Good luck buddy" is what Pran said. Makes me tear up a bit just thinking about it.
Episode 12’s preview had us scared for the next week, but in reality, what happened was exactly what I thought would happen. **SPOILER**They came up with a plan to stay together, but in secret, they had Pa, Ink, Wai, and Korn help them out so they could stay together without anyone knowing even at school. They stayed together for four years and in the last scene at their parent's houses, Pat falls on the roof and his father flinches and tries to get up and get him. His mom holds him back and tells him to let it be to let him be in his generation or something, to be honest, I didn't really understand that line, but it could be a mistranslation. Then when they were singing and laughing in Pran’s house, Pran’s mom hears them, and she gives his dad a look, but then she eventually smiled. They basically are pretending they don’t know that they’re together, but they know. I think this was good because it showed that their parents have grown up a little and have realized that their fight has nothing to do with their kids and if they’re happy together they will let them be (This is only my opinion/assumption, don't come at me). **End of Spoiler**
Now, the acting. Chef’s kiss. Ohm’s acting, magnificent as ever. Literally, in every scene he was in, whether he was happy, crying or mad you could feel it, and see it in his eyes and everything he did (body language). His emotional scenes hit hard because his character was very in the moment and he let himself feel the things he was feeling and it showed in his acting. Nanon, everything about him and his acting was fabulous. He was able to show how different Pran was from Pat with how he held back his emotions and kept them buried until it was too much and he would burst. One scene that comes to mind the most is their first kiss on the roof, where Pran walks away crying while Pat smiled afterward.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This showed how different they are, Pat living in the moment, feeling so good about the kiss, how it finally happened, and like a weight was lifted from his chest. While Pran, though he was happy about the kiss he longed for, he was also distraught. In that instant, he was thinking about his family and friends and what they would think if things got serious between them. He didn’t want to lose anyone but loved Pat so much that he just let go for a second and let it happen. He walked away because he knew things would get worse if their relationship changed, but he still couldn’t deny his longtime feelings for Pat. The moment they stared at each other after the kiss, Pran was in full tears, Pat was smiling, it was the perfect representation of who they are as people.
Anyway, I could literally say so much more about this show, but I don't want to drag this on any longer so I'm going to stop. There are so many scenes, lines, actions, growth, and characters that I love and could go on and on about, but there's just not enough time in the day (or night which is when I wrote this initially) to express how much love and appreciation I have for, not only the show but cast/crew as well!
Ohm and Nanon, their chemistry is unreal, they were so comfortable with each other that all the intimate scenes between them felt natural and I think this is what made it so much better. Shout out to GMMTV for doing it right with this one. I could literally go on and on about what I loved in this show, but it would turn into a book and no one wants to read that. These two are my comfort couple, they make me happy just thinking about how in love they are even after four years. Even Ink and Pa in the end were a long-term couple and I love the GL (Girls' Love) rep in here. The show itself, special shoutout to P’Aof the director, he did such an amazing job with this, and literally, the show is golden, if this doesn’t get any awards, I’m rioting. I haven’t been this in love with a show ever and I hope for very good things for the show and actors!
I even ordered Pat's Nong Nao doll and the PP earbuds bag (brb while I scream at 8:30 in the morning)
I will give this show a 10/10, if I could give it more I would. I definitely recommend this show if you are a first-time BL watcher, wanna try BL out, or are a veteran BL stan. My friend @chezzit and I are going to have a rewatch marathon tonight and I'm super hype for it!

@davidhatter
Ah, so they don't avoid their in-laws at all costs. That's good for Martha and Sam! Could not be him and So-yeon's parents-- especially after the whole 'they kidnapped my son' thing.
It was a little weird to him that David didn't seem to ever know what was going on with his sister, considering even if he didn't f--king ASK his own sister told him all of her business. Maybe that was more normal? Mu-yeol wasn't sure how A. human families; and B. western families worked. He knew he and his sister were closer than most human Korean siblings he ever knew because in fairy culture there was absolutely no gender essentialism in terms of 'girl interests' and 'boy interests.' They did everything together, the twins did everything together, they all four had mutual friends, and when they were all old enough to actually hangout together they all four did.
The Bae siblings were all four close, and to lesser extent you could add their cousins in there even now with Mu-yeol in England, Won-shik in Seoul, and Su-mi and Jun-ha home in Daegu. Jun-ha and both of his partners worked part-time in the city, both of Su-mi's partners did, and Su-mi sent her children to human school, so everyone had phones now like Mu-yeol and Nam-min did. The family WhatsApp chat was always going.
The years between him leaving Korea and phones equipped with wifi and WhatsApp had been rough. Getting any kind of communication between Korea and Swynlake, aigoo, so difficult. Smartphones and WhatsApp changed everything.
It wasn't the same as seeing them in person, and getting to see everyone a couple years ago only made him miss them more. Still, talking to each other at least every other day in the group chat was the norm. Mu-yeol and Su-mi called each other personally at least every third day, four days was unheard of.
Though, David never spoke about his siblings with any animosity. Maybe it was more normal for siblings to only check in now and then. The only other human friends he had with siblings were Ting-Ting and Jun, who were, crucially also from recent East Asian immigrant backgrounds; and maybe more importantly, also took on some of the job of raising them.
...huh. If he had a fiver for every time he had a friend who took care of their siblings he'd only have fifteen pounds but it's weird it's happened three times, right?
"Ah, we're aware of Christmas in the hollow because of the proximity to town but we don't--" Mu-yeol's cheeks flushed. He hated -- no, seriously, hated -- reminding people he was a fairy. It was easy for him to talk about being Korean. Not so easy to talk about being a fairy even if both things were equally obvious just looking at him. "Fairies have different names for months and seasons. They call winter 'slumber' in this hollow because for a lot of spring hollow fairies there's less work to do. Uh. Spring holl-- that's what Enchantra's hollow is considered. You have spring and winter hollows and fairies. Anyway. They celebrate the start of slumber with a big four-day festival from the 22nd-25th."
Aish, why did talking about being a fairy literally make his heart rate increase like this? What kind of messed up fight or flight response was that?
"I've got Christmas presents for the relevant people of course. When in Rome or whatever you say." He sipped at his tea, then shook his head before explaining the next bit. "Christmas isn't culturally the same in human Korea either and it doesn't exist in hollows there at all. While all fairies here for centuries have interacted with Christian (at least culturally so) humans, Christianity came to Korea much later and it's a minority of the population. The aspects of fairy society back home that evidence human interaction pull from Buddhist, Confucian, and different shaman traditions, right? Koreans generally treat Christmas like Valentine's Day, But There's Snow."
"Our big family-oriented holidays are Seollal and Chuseok. So nobody's working out whose got custody of the sister that lives in the woods on December 25th." Mu-yeol said, trusting he'd gather that one legend (a fellow person who lived in the woods) was recognizing another.

Is it just me or do you also don't hyper relate valentine's day with romantic love? My first memory of 14th Feb is when I was in 2nd grade. The vice principal came into our class and gave us a talk about how this special day isn't for boyfriends and girlfriends but for everyone you love. All the friends you should forgive. Your parents who love you the most. And on that friend part, my friend and I, looked instinctively at each other from across the classroom. We were fighting and not on talking terms for some reason I obviously can't remember. We were seated across the room. Yet our eyes found their way to each other. The bell rang, the vice principal walked out and the two of us walked to each other and giggled. I don't think we had any confrontation. No apologies either. It was understood. We were friends again. We grabbed our food and started chatting away. No resentments. No hidden feelings. Valentine's Day was a day to see who you really love and not let pettiness or the unimportant things come in the way. It was that extra nudge. That reminder. My mother too made it a day where I was reminded of how loved I am. Every year it was either chocolates or flowers or cute stationery. Or all three. She always got me and my sister Valentine's gifts so we didn't feel lonely or unloved. I don't think my mom getting us such sweet gifts was sad. I think it was the most precious thing ever. She does it to this day. I am getting sunflowers and adorable socks and stupidly fancy sandals this year. The last few years on tumblr I've been writing love poetry for all the people who would send me 3 facts about them in my askbox. I'm doing it this year too. Send me facts about you and I'll write a love poem for you as though I'm in love with you. You see, Valentine's has never been about romantic love for me. For a while there a stupid friend wanted to shit all over it and rant about capitalism. I rant enough about capitalism myself. But I also see the nuance in people's intentions and emotions. So if I buy a silly pop up card for my sister that says 'you melt my heart' and I add 'sometimes with anger but most times with love' and I paid some meager $ for it I am not going to consider myself fallen into a trap and on the pathway of moral destruction. Chill out people, days to show people you love them in an explicit fashion are beautiful. I digress. Valentine's has never been about romantic love for me. The only time there some something vaguely romantic was when I was in 9th grade and a senior asked me out and I didn't say no because I didn't know how and then two days later on his birthday I broke up with him because it was too horrible and I couldn't pretend any longer. I don't like to think of that. High school was a dramatic but not a pleasant time at all. My point is it's that time of the year again. So for every single person you love, remember to show them that. Throughout the year and your life, please. But also on 14th Feb. Because yes, capitalism aims to make us feel pathetic about ourselves until we don't buy shit or someone doesn't for us. Don't let it win! Write love poetry. Send a goofy video stating xx reasons why you love them. Do cringey cheesey things. And do them with your whole heart.

My reviews on Manhwas
Alright so, recently I've began to fall into the great Manhwa hell, as if I didn't have enough fandoms.
But I neither have friends to chat about this with, nor a Discord chat where I can fanby about it, so I just decided to throw it in here.
These are both Manhwas I recommend and my opinions on them. If there are any spoilers, They will be striked through and in blue for anyone that wishes to avoid them (if anyone even reads this lol).
1. The Villainess Reverses the Hourglass (악녀는 모래시계를 되돌린다)
Tumblr media
Premise: Aria was a terrible person and was sentenced to dead by being beheaded. In her final moments, she discovers her step sister, Mielle, actually manipulated her during her entire life just so she could get Aria killed. She then is beheaded, and wakes up in the past, in her child body. So now, she must work to both survive and get her revenge on her sister.
Lovely story, and my first Manhwa. The art is simply stunning, and all the characters are very flashed out and developed. Aria (MC) is the pettiest person alive and I'm here for that.
Also, I noticed a trend where, even though the manhwa has "Villainess" in the title, the MC is usually a total angel. Well, not here. Aria is egotistical and a total Diva, she has her goals and one of them is her revenge and by all that is sacred she'll get it.
Mielle is a great villain, she has grown a lot in her own pettiness and tactics since she was a child, and I really like that. Also, watching her suffer for being a terrible person is delightful.
The Male Lead (Asher) is also really cool, I like how he's both witty and friendly, and how much he truly admires Aria and her achievements.
The side characters are also pretty good, and they get a lot of focus because of their interactions with the main cast.
Again, The art is S T U N N I N G. Look at this:
Tumblr media
Literally all panels are drawn like this or better, I'm in love.
All in all, an awesome read, 10/10, I love this a lot.
2. The Monster Duchess And Contract Princess (괴물 공작가의 계약 공녀)
Tumblr media
Premise: Leslie's life was terrible, and always centered on her big sister, Eli. After a failed attempt of her family to grant Eli her sister's skills and knowledge, Leslie searches for the feared "Monster Duchess" in an attempt to survive.
Another one with incredible art AND incredible characters. Leslie is an absolute angel, and seeing her grow as a person is awesome.
The gender envy I feel with the Duchess is unbearable, she's utterly perfect. And the entire family is so dotting and loving and sweet, my little grinch heart can't take it.
Tumblr media
She's perfection, really.
The plot keeps getting more and more mysterious, and I'm here for it!
I love each of the main characters a lot, and even the villains are well done and fuel your hatred.
Also, Eli Sperado and her Dad can choke on those black flames for all eternity.
Another 10/10, although I must warn anyone that wishes to read this that the translations sometimes are very spotty and messy, so it can be a bit annoying.
3. I'll be the Matriarch in this Life (이번 생은 가주가 되겠습니)
Tumblr media
Premise: Firentia was a girl that died in Korea in her past life, and was reborn into an influential family as the illegitimate daughter of the third son. Her life was pretty terrible, with in the end, her family ending up in poverty and disgrace because of her uncles and cousins, while she was exiled from the family. After another accident, she wakes up in her past, now with a goal: Become the Lombardi matriarch and stop the other family heirs from bringing it to ruin.
Awesome art and Awesome plot number 3! This is so good, genuinely. Firentia is such an awesome plotter, and her goals and actions are very well developed.
The Male Lead is my baby and I shall protect him, and the side characters? Utterly stunning.
The twins are the cutest fucking shit, seriously. Like, look at these two?? I'm dead. Although, all the children are very, veeery cute.
Tumblr media
I like how Firentia subtly manipulates things around her to get what she wants. It's similar to Aria, but she's much more mature and knowledgeable, and has a much less petty goal.
Guess what? 10/10. Yeah, I know, I'm terrible at grading, sue me.
4. The Twins Siblings' New Life (쌍둥이 남매의 뉴라이프)
Tumblr media
Premise: Arien and Arjen were a pair of twins that died in Korea, and were reborn again as twins and as the Emperor's illegitimate children. Now, with only each other to trust, they must do their best to survive.
My current obsession. I really like this one. The art is not on the same level of pure Awesome like the ones before, but it's pretty good nonetheless.
The plot is pretty nice, but I must warn you: DO NOT expect them to act like adults. Honestly, just forget they're meant to be reborn in this world. They're just normal children and that's it. They act like children, and they think like children. Honestly, I think the author just wanted to make this story about them as children and their producer went and said to make them reincarnates because that Isekai shit is popular nowadays (And to justify they having memories of their newborn days). Seriously, just ignore it, the experience reading will be much better.
Other than that, the story develops nicely. The characters are all very good and the plot is very mysterious. I am holding myself back to not spoil anything, aaaaa.
There is also only one another thing that disappoints me: Arien is very clearly the MC. The story is told by her eyes and we only know what Arjen thinks or feels when he says it 9 or by subtext). I really wish it was more balanced, because they're both different people and have different perspectives, and also I really like Arjen.
I have absolutely no idea where this plot is gonna go, and honestly? I like it. It's very rare when I don't know how things are gonna develop because of other stories, so it feels very fresh.
The brothers are freaking awesome. I was so scared they were going to hate the twins and be petty, because of other manhwas that are like that, but they're so loving and sweet?? All hail these idiots. Also, Daddy is the biggest dumbass of all, this poor clueless man.
An 8/10, because of the complaints above. Still a good read, and I really like it, even with it's defects.
4. I'm A Stepmother, But My Daughter Is Just Too Cute! (계모인데 딸이 너무 귀여워)
Tumblr media
Premise: A seamstress dies of overwork in Korea, and wakes up in the body of Abigail, the vain Queen, and the evil stepmother to the princess Blanche. Yes, It's like she stepped into the world of Snow White, and she must now do her best to live and.. Dote on Blanche with toys and dresses as much as possible?
Again with the awesome art and nice plot. Why are there so many manga with awesome art?? I'm so envious.
May all hail this crispy, delicious art.
Tumblr media
Abigail is a whole mood, and I enjoy how she is inserted into the life of someone who had already lived and had a reputation. Her actions baffle a lot of the characters, as do her motivations, and I'm here for it.
The King has also an amazing backstory that's very tragic and yikes. I enjoy it, really. Not something you see in men's backstories that much.
Also, I'm kinda saddened by the fact the MC and the king are bound to become an actual couple. They would be such good platonic friends stuck in a political marriage. I was robbed, y'all.
Abigail greatest ambition is to get to design a dress for Blanche and have her wear it, and you know what? Good for her! Sometimes, it's good to have an MC that is not plotting against world at large.
Also, her mirror? Verite is simply perfect, I love this guy. I non-jokingly ship him with Abigail more than her with the King.
Blanche is a sweetheart, she deserves to be in my "adopted children" wall.
For now it's more of a Slice of Life than anything? But I also don't know what happens in the novels, so I'm just going to wait.
For the current lack of a grater plot, this gets a 7/10. Still pretty good and entertaining, especially for when you just don't feel like trying to understand deep plots with lots of elements.
5. Beware of the Brothers! (그 오빠들을 조심해!)
Tumblr media
Premise: Another one of those "I lived my life and then wake up in the past." Hari was adopted by this family after the death of their only daughter, and although her parents love her, her 3 older siblings very much don't. She lives a miserable life in their hands, and when it's the night before she is to get married and finally escape her brothers, she wakes up in the past, and has to deal with them all over again.
Another nice art one, and the background characters are very nice, as is the MC.
But for me, it has a big problem. And that problem is the main ship. It's Hari with her eldest brother, Eugene. Even though they are not related and yadda yadda yadda, they were raised as such, and thus it bothers me. Also, Eugene is as plain as white bread and just as generic when seen as the Male Lead.
I ship Hari with Johan, even though I know it's not gonna happen, Ugh, the pain..
For me, the main point in this is Hari's relationship with her other siblings and the other background characters. I'm here for that wholesome sibling interaction. Her relationship with Erich, specially, is awesome. I love these two so much
It also kinda lacks a plot? Other than the relationship development and their story as a family, but again, I have no idea how they will develop this.
Also, pet peeve? Why do they keep using Oppa instead of translating it properly as brother? I get honorifics and stuff, but it's so annoying.
I give it a 6/10. Good characters and good relationships outside of the bloody incest thing, and it's a good enough way to pass the time.
There are two more that I've read, buut it's like 4am and I'm sleepy as all hell, so I'll just add it in a reblog or attached post later, and I plan on doing this for other future manhwas as well.
Do you have any recommendations or comments or just wanna talk about any of these manhwas? Hit me up!

danny phantom season 2, ep 12-16 thoughts! these episodes, in comparison to the first 10 or so, felt way more laid back and low-stakes, which I appreciate sometimes. I didn't appreciate how lazy jack's halfa design was in masters of time, it made me so annoyed I redesigned it. 👎🏻 u_u
see prev episode thoughts in this tag <3
-'picking a fight with me and my upgraded form!' 'you upgraded to a mullet?' DANNNNY. YOU CANT SAY THAT TO TECHNUS. YOUVE HAD A MULLET TWICE NOW ('fun' split danny, and evil future danny BOTH HAD THEM). I HAVE THE RECEIPTS.
-danny seeing technus hurting valerie and yelling I AM GOING TO BREAK YOU IN HALF. SAMEEEE <3
-axion labs is now a part of vladco. FUCK YOU VLAD. hes not even really IN this episode, but just thought I'd throw out a nice fuck you anyway.
-'capable of blasting a single person into space in (2) minutes!' tucker. that would kill someone. i mean yeah they might get to space, but theres NO WAY THEY WOULDNT CATCH FIRE, OR THEIR ORGANS WOULDNT LIQUIFY BECAUSE OF THE STRAIN. THEY'D PROBABLY PASS OUT BEFORE THEN, BUT. ...no, okay, I get why vlad bought this company. this is RIGHT up his alley.
-danny KNOWS VAL DIDNT DO THIS, THAT SOMEONE STOLE THE SUIT. AND SPENDING ALL NIGHT CHATTING WITH HER. <3 and val is a 9TH DEGREE BLACKBELT?? danny's mom is, too!! omg and she hunts ghosts, his parents would love her. and her fav fruit is kumquat bc its a funny word. im so with danny val is amazing. I love her and I Do Not Want To Hear It From Sam.
-I knew danny wanted to be an astronaut, but the bowling tidbit is like. yes give me more useless info abt these characters, I love tiny details that make them feel more human, and im glad hes got hobbies aside from ghost stuff, we dont really see a lot of that!!! (I mean, we knew 'fun' danny from when he split himself in half liked bowling, so obv it makes sense he LIKES it, but hes very GOOD at it. so proud of him, bowling king) val calling him neil armstrong and them teasing each other. LOVE THAT.
-technus you are my favorite grandpa for setting this up. SAM WHY ARE YOU BEING SO CREEPY BE HAPPY FOR YOUR FRIEND!!! STOP SPYING ON THEM!!! who actually cares if technus did 'set them up' together, theyre having fun and enjoy each others company!!! 'you think the universe wants you two to be together?' 'i dunno, but maybe /I/ do!' EXACTLY DANNY!!! SOO TRUE.
-and valerie being happy sam said she wants to try and be happy for them and make room at the lunch table for them. and hugging sam over it. VAL NEEDS MORE FRIENDS.
-VAL GOING AFTER TECHNUS IN HER SUIT WITH (1) MILK, AND (1) TREE BRANCH AND KEYS!!!. I LOVE YOUUUU BEST GIRL. her new suit kicks ass
-dannys like 'HEY IM AN ASTRONAUT :D' AW. ...HES IN SPACE... the fact he's actually intending to give her the ring. with SAMS NAME ON IT?? IM CRINGING DANNY NO. YOU CANT DO THAT...thank god he didnt. thank god valerie cut it off and said they can just stay friends for now. tbh, they both have a lot on their plates!! they obv both still like each other...it can be a future thing!! when she knows about phantom! youre 14 theres no need to rush. I just want her to have friends and be happy :(
-...danny struggles to do (1) pull up. SAME. but all the ghost fighting in phantom form REALLY doesnt carry over at ALL? that sucks
-sam being as fit as she is, is not just a goth. shes a goth jock.
-honey I Shrank Our Kid, One of his Enemies, and his Bully: the episode
-dash's crush on phantom is So Obvious. fitness buddies :) watching them interact always makes me laugh. also, phantom, with PANTS. 'how many costume changes you gonna go through, what is this, vegas??' DASSH DJKSFHASKDF
-MADDIE GOING AFTER THE MOUSE WITH A BROOM, WHAT THE FUCK. AAAH. JUST BUY SOME KIND OF MOUSE TRAP.
-danny likes lime and vinegar chips. which sound very good.
-'our boy finally has the physical prowess of a 60 year old president!' ...poor danny LMAO
-'what's wrong with beauty pageants' oh tucker you sweet naïve child. what ISNT wrong with them. who approved this for a high school?? (I mean, yes. unfortunately child pageants exist, but...) also danny and tucker once again treating the pretty girls like objects. I need to meet the grown man who wrote this, I just want to talk...
-prince aragon's dragon form reminds me of maleficent (color scheme wise) which is always a bonus. considering the episode is called beauty marked, I feel like the sleeping beauty references are deliberate
-sam with the fake fangs. once again her accessories never miss. hate the 'not like other girls, girls who get sucked into this kind of thing are all shallow and all want to be carbon copies' bs tho.
-sam trying to be the Worst Bride, being rude as shit. DORA IS GOING TO GET KILLED. DID YOU MISS THE PART WHERE SHE SAID THE PRINCE WILL HAVE HER HEAD IF YOU ARENT THE IDEAL BRIDE. YOU /KNOW/ DANNY WILL COME SAVE YOU. JUST ACT CHILL UNTIL THEN. even if you were doing fine to get him to take off the crown, consider maybe not letting his poor sister get punished also?? sure, she could also take off the crown and has dragon powers, but did you know that for sure?? dora didnt even really realize it until you guys talked!! (or at least, she was scared to stand up to him. you had no guarantee she would...) but. good for dora. ANOTHER friendly ghost to add to the List :)
-tucker is so under appreciated in his time. if he was doing a tech-based campaign today he'd have a better shot. people in 2004 had NO IDEA how much tech would be a part of our day-to-day lives...altho. tbh if you're going to be running for student council president, maybe you should..focus on things to actually improve the school? since he's going for a tech angle, he could say like, he would be running fundraisers for the schools computers to be upgraded, etc? we've already SEEN he can be good at money-making entrepreneur type stuff!!
-oh my god wait. this episode is JUST YUGIOH?????! A REBORN PHAROH USING A TEENAGER AS A VESSEL?? YESSSSSS
-tucker using his new minion to feed him grapes and carry him. AND LOCUSTS ONTO THE BULLIES. I love how when he's possessed, he gains winged eyeliner.
-this episode is giving me big 'plankton makes everyone in bikini bottom his slaves and build monuments of him from the spongebob movie' vibes. and the pharaoh has a traitor who works for him? VERY big yugioh vibes. aknadin confirmed
-I like that danny is still completely exhausted after using ghostly wail. (still patiently waiting on him to get duplication)
-LOVE the fenton's 80s outfits. I get hes 14 and embarrassed by everything they do because theyre his parents, but. cmon, this is one objectively cool thing theyve done. love 80s fashion.
-...was vlad just standing on that streetlight waiting for danny to come out? how'd he know they'd be coming out the back? how long has he been up there???
-oh, wait, his ecto-acne has flareups? that SUCKS. danny was...well I dont want to say he was LUCKY HE HALF-DIED, but he was lucky his was pretty instant (I'm assuming that had to do with the power/scale of the portals being different?) I remember in the ep we met him, vlad made a point of saying he was stuck in a hospital for a long time, so. that really actually sucks and I feel bad. not that it excuses anything he's done...but like. it does suck.
-vlad being so sure danny wouldnt help him he made it somehow contagious to his friends to make sure he'd get help? danny is a nice boy, he wouldve helped if it was anyone else. the only reason he wouldn't have is because of the shit vlad did to him, on purpose. vlad 100% dug his own grave by being the biggest asshole, so it is very hard to feel bad for him.
-clockwork is back!!! and making danny learn lessons The Hard Way. Uhhh, okay. I kind of get Danny’s logic, that time traveling this far back would prevent vlad from becoming a halfa also, ergo no arch nemesis or ectoacne to worry about. But the fact that was basically the first solution Danny came up with to solve this problem is actually so funny. It’s so extreme
Tumblr media
-APPRICIATION FOR THESE 80S LESBIAN BG CHARACTERS.
-vlad telling maddie in the lab (in the 80s) he has something he's wanted to tell her 'for a long time'...how long have they known each other? I assumed they met in college, since jack always calls vlad his college buddy/roommate, so jack and vlad for sure met in college, but did vlad know maddie longer? thats surprising if so. Tho we don’t know what year of college they’re in so they could mean they met as freshmen and a few years have past…speaking of maddie shes crushing the 80s look.
-vlad blames jack, but. maybe dont stick your face 2 inches from the portal??! THIS FEELS LIKE LAB SAFETY BASICS. IF SOMETHING HAS POTENTIAL TO BE DANGEROUS, DONT GET NEAR IT. WITH YOUR FACE UNPROTECTED IN ANY WAY. (altho jack didnt really give a Big Warning besides screaming BONZAI. so. also that, but cmon.) also, they need gloves, goggles, and to pull all of their hair back tbh. but fuck lab safety, I guess!
-cryyyyinnng at how lazy they were with jack's ghost form design, its just plasmius' design on jack!!! you couldve given him his own design!!
Tumblr media
-there. I did that in about 10 minutes and its somehow less lazy than what made it into the show. embarrassing! better yet, I think the episode would've been better if maddie would've gotten the ectoacne. or maybe its just me, wanting to see her design! anyway. I'm sure people have already done redesigns of them both as halfas. I have to go look after I finish this watch through. Also mildly frustrated jacks resentment and bitterness is basically also a copy paste of vlads backstory. They’re different characters, I really don’t think jack would stew in bitterness and jealousy the same way vlad would!! I also don’t think he’d give up after one time of trying to hunt ghosts and getting laughed at. Our canon timeline says different…I dunno, I get it was for laughs, but I’m annoyed because the POTENTIAL this plot has…
-did vlad really wear a stupid cheese hat to his wedding. ok actually that kinda rules. and the cheese door knocker. the dairy-only buffet table. vlad still got rich, just on being the New Dairy King. (Assuming that means he owns a lot of dairy businesses?) ok! this actually is great. hope maddie isn't lactose intolerant!
-'no matter how hard I tried, I could never get rid of my ghost half, the half I knew Maddie could never accept' ohh, ouch, what a horrible thing to say to her HALF GHOST SON. 'YOUR MOM WILL NEVER ACCEPT YOU' BASICALLY.
Tumblr media
-maddie strapping danny to the table with a lazer pointed at him in a secret lab she keeps from vlad that she makes a point of saying is sound proof so he can scream all he wants...CHRIST. DANNYS POOR PYSCHE.
-also, not to feel bad for alternate vlad (because, he did lie to maddie saying jack blames her and never wants to see her again...) but. being married to a woman 20+ years and she immediately goes back to jack? if she didnt love vlad and feels like she had to hide shit from him, and says she wasted her best years with him, WHY MARRY HIM. it feels like leading him on!!! cannot believe im feeling bad for vlad, but. this alternate timeline vlad is significantly Less Horrible than Our Vlad. did she not think she'd get funding for her ghost stuff? (which, fair assumption since they're considered 'ghost fanatics/nuts in canon...but...) why did she think jack or vlad would be her ONLY OPTIONS? be like your sister. be single. Actually, this au could’ve been really interesting if after the accident, vlad lied to her and said jack never wanted to see her again, but she stays single. Imagine how much that would bug vlad… like, in her mind, it was never a competition it was jack or no one type situation…
-danny being like 'leave him ALONE' this jack is a HOMEWRECKER, DANNY. let them go to court and settle this at the least. ...or just throw vlad into the portal. (100% human, defenseless vlad) CHRIST, MADDIE THATS BRUTAL. THATS MURDER.
-danny seeing his mom immediately accepting him and his dad being half ghosts in this universe, if I was him this would be a great sign that his universe's maddie would also.
-*maddie voice* "clockwork will help!" *2 seconds later, with clockwork* "I will Not Help." TOUGH LOVE KING. YES LET DANNY SEE THE SODA HIMSELF AND DEVOLP BETTER OBSERVATION SKILLS.
-when clockwork ""reset time to the way it was"" just before danny "meddled"" ...did he really erase a whole alternate timeline? ...damn. because maddie and danny both called it an alternate timeline by name, it splitting when the college incident went different, so it wouldnt have really mattered if he reset it, right. like because danny's timeline is on a different stream? why didnt clockwork just. show danny a replay and not Reset That Timeline. wh...I wonder how many people that Erased From Existence. Anyway! once again stating clockwork is casually terrifying!

Dear Lisette,
I am back in you inbox, yay! How was your day? How's life? How's school?
I am really mad because we had this piece of work and it was like "pen down your idea on this statement, 'i can do whatever i want on the internet as long as i don't get caught' and i put down my thoughts which were 'this statement is true, i stand by it and you can do whatever you like as long as you don't get caught and don't own up' and then people were like throwing shade at me and i looked at it. I have 5 comments.
My teachers tried to delete it, my classmates literally lectured me and then she read it out loud and the whole class went looking for that one note i made. In the comments, people are spelling my name in caps. It was my opinion, and oh, look all of them are basically hypocrites. Let me just say, these people make me uncomfortable, they don't talk about exactly nice things or approriate things and they are all commenting ( without names too may i add) like "KAT, THAT'S NOT HOW THINGS WORK!" but with my real name and just arghhh.
Also if my teachers wanted me to say, "no, that isn't the right thing to do," or any other answer that the others provided them with, they shouldn't have asked for my opinion. They should have just forced us all to just type the same thing. The other people all wrote like, "no, its unethical and bad" or "False, no, its bad" and stuff like that, filmsy evidence and elaboration. I HAVE MORALS, i am just saying the truth. I feel like the victim of a hate crime. People don't like me enough already, i am a very intresting person, uh, yeah, we are gonna stop there.
Enjoy the rant i guess? I don't know? I am sorry for loading on you but there's a little extra rant so uh, yeah. im just gonna take this out, one sec.
Ok, so uh my teacher was like, next week, we are making pancakes. Fluffy pancakes. It was changed to pancakes without eggs? and now we have to make it ourselves, at home. Where do i get flour? What do i do with the extra flour? I don't know how to cook at all, my partner who has been extremely controlling and like kinda driving me insane, ( ahem i did the whole coursework) also she uses my friend's name for everything? Like, bestie i was literally helping out and you went all, "Oh you don't want (friend's name) to see you burnt right?". Obviously i don't but if i burnt down my house, she wouldn't be surprised. I BURNT MYSELF LAST YEAR, SHE SAW ME BURN MYSELF. Well, my friend burnt me and then the week after that, she burnt herself.
This happens a lot. Also, the very common questions and statements of, "Are you straight?" , "aren't you and (friend's name) dating?", "you guys would make such a cute couple" , " aren't you bi?" and "i thought the two of you were dating," there is nothing wrong with being bi but i am not attracted to her like that. So, they use her for leverage over me to get me to do what they want and also think im dating her? If we were dating, we would both be homeless. I like my house. This doesn't only happen with her. I once got shipped with my brother. I hugged him and some guy was like, "oh you guys like each other," that was awkward. Can i just add, a lot of people like majority of that community know we are siblings.
I also get shipped with his best friend, thanks to a rumor my brother made up. So, sometimes, i would get like comments like, "oh, you like him" or "(brother's name) told me that you and (brother's best friend) are dating," we are not dating. WE ARE JUST REALLY GOOD FRIENDS. I LIKE A FICTIONAL CHARACTER. LEAVE ME ALONE. Also, everytime i have a picture of a guy on my phone or something my cousin just has to tell my brother. THEY ARE STREAMERS. ONE IS OF V FROM BTS SO I CAN TRAMATISE MY FRIEND.
Everytime i cry, someone comes in my room. It is so annoying. LEAVE ME ALONE, I WANT TO CRY. This is why i started reading sad books, listening to sad songs, watching sad movies so i have a reason to cry. There was this once, i wasnt selected to be part of my choir's competition and i was sad about it because i didn't feel good enough. THEY SAID I WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH. So, i cried but it wasn't enough so i read the saddest book i could find so i had a reason to cry but by that time, my feelings were gone. This is why i get breakdowns when im overwhelmed because of all this. You know how old i am. I have to deal with this and the pressure of always wanting to be perfect. What else can i do? I am not pretty or smart or talented or have friends, i have like 6 friends and nobody ever keeps me company. So, i focus on being perfect. 100%, i deal with not having any attention because my parents didn't pay me any attention just because i was "independent" or something?
Did i mention, i babysit all my siblings? I am the second child. I baby-sit my older brother. I am sleep-deprived because i can't sleep well at night and i constantly worry about everything and i have to take care of all my friends and it is so exhausting. Yet, i can not cry.
Thanks for staying with me through whatever that was. Uh, yeah, i took the quiz and got chaotic academia. That is my aesthetic. I really want one of those fancy skirts they wear like on pintrest and stuff? Like you know what i mean? The academia skirt? Yeah, i don't have one yet.
Question of the day, what is your dream profession or you could answer my other question which is what would you want to look like? Or you could answer both?
Ok, thank you again. i am gonna go study. Love and hugs and just literal joy sent your way!
- Kat, the ultimate dino mom of Leo, Billy Bob, Jessica, Sophie, Jackson, Sarah, Lily, the Micheals and all her other kids. (Jessica, Sophie and Jackson are mailboxes and Lily is a computer, Micheal is my screwdriver and laptop pencil, there are two micheals.)
Dear Kat,
It's really good to see you in my inbox. I'm sorry for replying late, but exams really had occupied my schedule today and I got my Saturday exam tomorrow. This week is going to be stressful and today's day has been pathetic. I had nothing to do except study and write exams. I feel like I haven't really been social recently and That I'm losing touch with people that I used to be close with and basically I'm letting overthinking take over my mind.
That is so sick. Why is someone's genuine opinion bothering them so much? I totally wouldn't be able to tolerate that. They ought to understand that there is a fine line between a fact and an opinion, and what you stated was just an OPINION. they have no right whatsoever to come at you like that. I totally agree... the teachers ought to have not asked for your opinion if all they desired was a particularly specific answer which opposed the statement. one of the reasons I hate the schooling system has to be THIS. people who are putting comments like that ought to realize that what you stated is exactly what they do in real life. They just want to be seen as the good kid here. At least you have the guts enough to speak the truth.
Miss! You don't have to worry about ranting out to me. You can rant to me for days and I'd still listen. Just go on ranting nobody is stopping you.
Ahhh! I've had that happen to me. I really understand how tough that can be. I really really hate being shipped with someone who I am just platonically friends with like you've got no valid proof to believe that we are romantically involved with each other. I've burnt myself plenty of times too. It's not a pleasant experience. Plus I also hate having controlling partners. Cause all they do is boss you around while they are barely doing a thing. It sucks.
Why? Just why? Why does it even matter to them? Who you date and what your sexuality is, is none of their business. I have no idea why people concern themselves with topics that really don't involve them. It's like people are just ready to make gossip out of anything. A person can't have a bestie without not liking them? I don't get what's so difficult to understand about that. I hate it when I'm casually talking to a guy and people start shipping us and start spreading rumors of us being in a romantic relationship. Another thing they do is, if a person likes me, they automatically assume that I like him back when I've barely even ever spoken to that guy. And yes! I like fictional characters! Don't even assume I like any of you fools cause You idiots bully me and ship me with total crackheads... And my standards are good enough for me to not include you guys in my list of *appropriate candidates* which consists of non-existent people.
Similarly, the moment I'm chatting with some guy, or like have a pic with someone on my mobile phone people just assume that fact that I'm crushing on him. Like no! I don't. We are friends... the others are celebrities, Why can't you understand that? I can't imagine how thick their skull must be considering they can't let a small statement like that sink in.
The crying thingy... I feel personally attacked. Nobody lets me do anything in peace, let alone crying. I literally use the washroom in my room and even my sister comes in there just banging on the door asking me to get the heck out of there and go somewhere else, like can't she use the other two washrooms or what? I like listening to sad stuff and reading angst cause somehow or the other it calms me down... it makes me feel at peace cause I know I'm not the only one who feels like crying. I've got a lot of friends, nobody remembers my birthday, I remember all of theirs'. They don't even text me, It's always me who takes the first step. All my friends just want me by their side cause I'm a smartass they want to show off as a trophy and cause I've got much better sarcasm than them. They just want to benefit from me. That's all. GOD, I'm not pretty at all. I look like a random idiot all the time. I look pathetic. And I lack talent... And you! I warned you, miss! You are pretty, beautiful, talented, smart, friendly, caring, kind and THE BEST!!!
I've never been given attention. Never ever. My sister has always stolen the spotlight. And I hate it. Not even my friends acknowledge me, my parents just ehhhhh. No matter how good I score, No matter how good I behave, No matter what. I'm just never good enough. My parents think of me as a rebellious kid. And I don't know what to do about that. All I've ever done is listen to them. My parents never allowed me to go out and play with my friends when I was a kid, they never let me go on overnight trips, and they barely let me spend time with the few friends I have. They never let me go to outings my school friends planned. Despite that, I never complained. I never had good friends because of that, yet I never complained. A lot of kids my age roam around in shopping malls by themselves, have sleepovers, spend money, roam around with tons of makeup on their faces, are in relationships, and even get into illegal shit. I've never done anything Like that. And yet... I'm never the good kid. I'm still the rebel.
I've got to take care of my sister almost every day. Get her to study, study myself, take care of myself while tolerating my grandmother. I really don't like my grandma, she s very fussy and just keeps yelling around the house the moment my dad and mom leave the house. I've got sensory overload because of her voice. And now I sit and have an anxiety attack almost every time she speaks. I've always got to strive for perfection as well. And I too can't sleep well at night just cause all the worries of the world, keep weighing me down.
Chaotic academia sounds good. It's the same aesthetic my sister got when I asked her to take the test! And oooh! Me too! I love those skirts and outfits they show on Pinterest. I'd love to have them someday.
My dream profession has to be that of a writer. Or perhaps even running a library. just something cozy. Ohh! I'd love to have brown hair, and I'd want to be tall just a little shorter than What I am right now. I just reached my father's height yesterday. And more or less, I'd like the rest to stay just as it is. and perhaps a lighter shade of skin tone. What about you though?
My question for you! If you were to be stranded on a beach island for a week. Who would you bring with you and how would you spend your time there. You can include whatever elements of nature you want to include like forests, lakes, and all.
Sending love, warmth, hugs, and whatever I have to spare that you would like to you!!!!
-Love from Lisette
P.S. That's an interesting family you've got, right there!

Yoongi - A Borrowed Hoodie Part 17
First Part
Previous Part
AN: The formatting of this may be horrible as it was written, edited and posted all on my phone while on a long train journey. Sorry for the wait. I had a big project but it was submitted today and I have another long train journey on Monday so there should be more content soon. Also if anyone knows how to add a read more on mobile please tell me.
💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣
Not knowing why, because you were 90% sure that if Yoongi's phone was on silent, as Jimin had said it was, he wouldn't answer it, you called him anyway.
As expected, the call rang out and, not knowing what to say, you didn't leave a voicemail. Instead, you started to text Jimin, asking if he thought you should go to Big Hit and try to talk to Yoongi in person. In the middle of that, however, your phone switched to the incoming call screen with that cute picture of Yoongi in the Kumamon hood filling the screen.
It took you a second to react because it surprised you. "Hello?" you said as you answered the phone.
"Hey," Yoongi replied, sounding out of breath. "Sorry, I couldn't find my phone under all the papers in here."
"I guess that explains why you didn't get my messages," you laughed.
"What messages?" he asked, but before you could reply, you heard a rustle on the line as he put you on speaker so he could look at his phone and talk to you at the same time. "Wow, that's a lot of notifications for one day."
"It's been three days."
"Yep, that would do it." He didn't seem terribly shocked that he had so drastically misjudged the passage of time.
You wondered just how often he pulled this sort of stuff. "Next time you're going to disappear for three days, please tell me in advance. I was worried."
"I don't mean to do it," he told you a little sheepishly. "Anyway, I'm okay. I promise. Do you want to keep talking while I keep working?"
"No," you said sharply.
"Oh," he sounded hurt.
"I want to keep talking while you pack up and go home to sleep."
"But..."
You weren't going to listen to any of his arguments, especially because the guys had thought it necessary to contact you.
"You've been there for three days straight, not even looking up to check your phone. You're going to crash soon and I'm assuming you don't want that to be in the middle of the fanmeet tomorrow?"
You knew you had said the right thing when he fell silent. Then he said, "Can I just finish what I was doing?"
"If what you were doing was saving your work and shutting down your computer, then yes."
"But..."
"Three days, Yoongi. Namjoon-ssi got Jimin to text me because they were all worried about you. You need to go home."
"Fine," he sighed. "Can you keep talking to me until I get home though?"
"I don't know how you thought you were going to get rid of me. I missed you. For three days."
"Even though it didn't feel that long to me, I still missed you," he told you.
The two of you chatted while Yoongi packed up, and while he was in the car, and you would have kept talking for longer if you had not hear Jungkook on the other end of the line say,
"Why is Yoongi-hyung glaring at everyone that goes near him with a finger on his lips?"
From the muffled quality of his voice, it sounded like he was in another room but considering how clearly you could hear him anyway, he must have been speaking very loudly.
"Are you at the dorm?" you asked Yoongi.
"No?" he replied, clearly lying. Knowing he had been discovered, he added, "I'm gonna kill the maknae."
"You can do what you want to him...tomorrow," you told him. "Right now you need to go to sleep."
He sighed. "Fine."
"And actually text me tomorrow. It doesn't have to be a lot. Just let me know that you are alive please."
"I promise."
There was a pause as neither of you were ready to hang up yet, but equally neither of you were willing to start a cliche round of 'You hang up.' 'No you hang up.' either.
"Can we keep talking while I get ready for bed?"
"Okay. But I'm hanging up as soon as you are ready."
You chatted for a while longer. A while longer than you should have done, too. Your suspicions were aroused when when you stopped hearing the rustle and clatter of Yoongi moving the phone around and getting ready for bed. You were pretty sure he was ready and maybe even lying in bed, just not telling you so that you could keep talking. Even kept telling yourself you were going to say goodbye and make him go to sleep at midnight. Then five past. Then ten past.
Eventually, around twenty past, you heard the door to Yoongi's room open.
"Hyung, go the fuck to sleep," you heard Namjoon say.
Yoongi must have pointed at his phone or something because Namjoon added, "I don't care that you're talking to Y/N. I'm going to come back in ten minutes and if you're not asleep then I won't let you into the studio for a week."
You heard a sound of outrage from Yoongi, half expecting him to complain, 'It's not fair!' like a teenager being scolded by a parent. He didn't get a chance, however, as Namjoon called out, "Goodnight, Y/N."
"Tell him goodnight from me," you asked Yoongi.
"No," he replied. " He just held up nine fingers at me and then left anyway."
"He is right that you need to sleep. Maybe you could call me again after the fanmeet tomorrow?"
"I will." There was silence on the line for a few more seconds before he said, "Sleep well, Y/N."
"Yeah. Sleep well, Yoongi. Sleep quickly, too. I'll talk to you tomorrow."
You forced yourself to hang up.
Then you remembered that you still had Namjoon's number in your phone from when Jimin gave you all of the guys' numbers.
Tumblr media
Looking at the time, you realised you should probably go to sleep too. You didn't have a lot on the next day but you didn't think wrecking your sleep schedule was a good plan anyway.
Once you were in bed, ready and trying to sleep, almost drifting off, you thought of something that made you sit bolt upright and grab your phone from your bedside table to message your sister.

Bruce was hunched over the screen as he was re-watching the vedio feed, trying his hardest to analyze every word and sight he saw, all while trying to plan his next move. His knuckles were white as he bowed his head and breathed deeply.
Alfred the cat had manged to not only sneak out but get into the house of an underground mob boss, making realize that while he was dealing with the big and loud villains, there were ones sneaking between the cracks even though they were just as dangerous, even more so now with the new information he was given.
Bruce could barely look at the screen as two children chat away about keeping secert pets, they looked around the age of his two youngest, the very two who brought this vedio to his attention. He couldn't look away at the static as it brought out their glowing green eyes like shining lights, even though the slightly distorted feed he could see sighs of sickness from the boy while the younger girl luckily seemed a bit healthier.
Yet the info before swam in Bruce's head, these kids were at risk of being hunted down by the government all because the meta gene had surprisingly mutated into a sub type. Because of this these kids parents were risking themselves to the Fenton Mafia just to have a chance of protection, a false one at that.
Vinnie Fenton had multiple connections, not just to Red Hood, but to the Owls too, yet he lied right to the desperate family, all while making Batman seem like a bad guy to discourage them to go to him for help.
This was a shit show, but Bruce knew he needed to do something, and he plans to, both as Bruce Wayne and as Batman.
Once he finds out what government brace they were talking about he plans to drag it through hell, as Batman to set the Justice League on them, and as Bruce with his own connections run their funding to the ground.
In the meantime he needs to contact Jason, the family does live within his territory, plus they still need to get Alfred the cat back too. He would go but...
he wishes to respect Jason's boundaries and even if he went it wouldn't help much so for now Bruce sent the vedio and a quick text to his second son, hoping more then anything that it isn't too late to help.

Jazz was trying to keep herself busy, both by studying and taking care of her siblings.
All three parents were in the basement, trying to figure out a plan, to convince Dad to not make any weapons for his old family, trying to get him to eat.
Danny and Ellie were mostly quiet as they clung to each other as they cared for the new cat Alfred, their vedio game left discarded and plushies untouched.. it was like a dark cloud had fallen on the family and Jazz didn't know how to clear it out.
So when a rough knocking came to the door she first checked the peephole before opening the door to Red Hood, letting him in since it was rare to even see him as of late.
The moment he entered both Danny and Ellie perked up and rushed towards the man in the red helmet, smiling and laughing for the first time in days.
Hood crouched down as Ellie jumped into a hug, Danny on the other hand was trying to climb on top of him for a piggy back ride, even though he was a crime lord he just made both Halfas feel safe. He gently squeezes her younger sister and ruffles Danny's hair.
"Hey, how are you two trouble makers doing? You as well Miss Jasmine, it's been a while."
Jazz smiled as she cleared a spot for Hood on the couch, not saying a word because, what could she say? Instead Ellie spoke up while squirming about.
"We got a new cat! His name is Alfred, I found him at our Gruncle Vinnie's place and I'm allowed to keep him long as he doesn't have another family." Ellie quickly slipped out of Hoods reach to grab the cat to show it off.
"Wow, he's adorable, though he does look familiar." Red Hood titled his head as he was still giving Danny a ride on his back.
"Really?" Ellie's eyes go into begging cute mode which makes Red chuckle. "Yeah, looks almost like my little brother's cat that snuck out a few days ago, same name too."
With a huff Ellie held Alfred tighter, "well if he wants this cat he's going to have to slipt custody with me."
"That he will, I'll make sure of it" Red patted the young girls head.
Standing up and flipping Danny over so he lands safely on the couch Red Hood takes a heros pose as he clears his throat.
"Ahem, Danny, Ellie, I got missions for both of you" he points at both of them, making them jump to attention. "Ellie, I need you to go to the kitchen and grab the caramel fudge from the freezer, I had ordered it and your mom said I can pick it up here." With that Ellie runs off. Next is Danny. "Little Hood? You go get all your folks up here, I want to have a small chat with them." Danny nods and heads to the basement, leaving the crime lord alone with Jazz.
Glancing around before he trained his eyes on the young lady he gives her the first reassuring news, "my helmet has a special sensor to check for any hidden cameras or listing devices, your house is in the clear."
Jazz lets out a sigh of relief, letting herself not be tensed since the first unannounced family drop in. Once she calmed down she lets Red Hood contuine.
"Also I know that Vinnie had threatened abd black mail your family, and I'm here to fix that problem." As he finshed that sentence Danny comes back into the living room, having dragged his dad up with the help of mom and Vlad.
Dad looked awful, he hadn't slept in days, barely ate, and was working himself to passing out, he was rading worry and fear. When he finally noticed Red Hood he standed more to attention as he moved closer.
"Mr. Hood, what do I owe the pleasure of you here?" Jack tried to sound happy but his voice couldn't reach his usual pitch, it sounded closer to being a rock dropping deeper into water.
"I'm here to make a counter deal to Vinnies."
"Wait what..?" Jack's voice fulters but with a twing of hope in it, letting Red Hood contuine with widen eyes.
"You heard me, I'm making a counter deal to that scum bag, and here are my reasons why; firstly he broke a rule of our own agreement, none of his goons or 'family' are allowed in my territory without permission, yet he sent three of his top dogs here thinking I wouldn't notice. Secondly he threatened you, no one threatens my people, especially not my weapons commissioners who I see as my own crew, no one fucks with my crew, not even batman or any other crime lords. Lastly, he used your kids as blackmail, that is a big no go, I won't stand around knowing someone uses kids in anyway dirty like that. Thats tree strikes, three and your out." His voice was harsh but caring as he folded his arms.
"So, what's the dealing your giving us?" Mom asks, holding Dads hand tightly.
Jazz swore she could sense a smirk under Red Hoods mask.
"My deal is this; you keep making non-lethal weapons for me and a few others, but this time as a full paid employee, and only make them for me and the folks in my turf, understood? In return I'll make sure your family actually stays safe, from Vinnie's mob and the Owls, heck if any villain even dares touch a hair on any of your heads it's game over. So what do you say, want to be perment partners?" Red Hood offers out his hand.
Jack looked frozen, yet his eyes almost lit up with hope and joy, a smile spread across his face. "You promise? The whole deal?"
"You bet, I got the paperwork with me right now, all legal too, all you got to do is read, sign it, and give it to me by the end if the week." Red still had his hand out for a shake.
Springing to life dad took his hand and shook it with an iron grip before pulling Hood into the softest bear hugs, pleasing thank yous into the man's shoulders.
Before leaving Red hands over the paper work, and shares a few peices of fudge with everybody, humming to himself as he leave. Pausing for a moment as he looks back and says one last parting words.
"Oh by the way, the whole 'Batman hates metas' thing is a lie, people just spread ot because it means less metas try to ask for help. He's not that bad actually."
With that Red Hood leaves the family to their new peace.
Now with a true written out deal in front of him Jack quickly kisses Maddie and Vlad deeply on the lips before pulling all his kids into a hug. He was sobbing and laughing as the greatest words spilled out.
"We're safe. We're finally safe."

Bonus;
Jason walks onto the manor with a big smile on his face, grabbing multiple family members attentions as he plops down onto a couch. "Behold, the lord of solving problems."
"Did you get Alfred back?" Damian leered over Todd with a scowl.
"No, but I know where he is, if you want your cat back you have to do joint custody with Ellie. Who knows maybe I can set up a play date for you two, she makes you look tamed." Jason snickers.
Damian was about to protest but Bruce cuts in. "Then what did you do? Also who's Ellie?"
Leaning his head back Jason got more comfortable, "I offered a better deal to the folks you were worried about and they took it, oh and don't worry they only do non killing weapons. As for who Ellie is, she's the small gal that has Alfred, she was the one who suggested the play date."
"Hm" Bruce needed to look into this more, but Jason did bring back good news, he thinks.
For now time will only tell.

Jack Fenton is From Gotham, a Headcannon
CstSo, Jack Fenton, Big, caring, Dad Shaped Individual who cares about Family and his Profession and would more than likely choose family if things went Funky. The Guy who has ran through multiple walls and is capable of fighting Ecto beings BARE FISTED and winning. This guy, who just looks at the mayhem around him and goes “Ah, a peaceful day.” while Maddie is losing her entire god damned mind. You can only really get that sort of attitude about chaos in a few places, and I think Jack was born and raised in Gotham, and furthermore, I think his parents generation of Fentons lived in Crime Alley. 
The IDEAS this gives me, like in a reveal gone sideways with the GIW finding out Jack takes Danny and hides out in his childhood romping grounds and the people just go “Oh Hey, Jack’s back.” and they just melt into the underbelly of Gotham, no one really the wiser and the GIW constantly losing vehicles and Agents to the meatgrinder that is Crime Alley.
Give Me Jack Fenton who has SEEN SOME SHIT, Give me Jack Fenton who has DONE SOME SHIT. This man knows how to do a lot of things and the legality therein can get very Sketchy. Then give us the glory and horror of Gothamites slowly emigrating too/immigrating from Amity Park and it’s just like, That Explains A LOT.
I ran away with this, I shall now tag folks who I think would like this.
