Getting sick as an adult and having the terrifying realization that when I would get multiple sinus infections a year from my "allergies" and my mom told me I would die if I didn't take my medicine even though I only felt mildly ill...
yeah turns out what she meant by that was not "sinus infections are very deadly" but was in fact "I will not take you to the hospital if this gets so bad that it starts to kill you and I cannot afford a dead kid on my hands"
#like not to shame people who suffer from sinus infections. like sure they suck. but under normal circumstances they should not be killing u#and neither should allergies to pollen for that matter#it was also a problem because i was pretty severely underdeveloped (still am) and my throat was genuinely so small i couldnt#swallow the pills without very bad pain and fear of choking. especially since i was unable to breathe through my nose#like taking any amount of time to swallow something when your nose is completely congested feels bad#i also couldnt handle the liquid form of dayquil that i wad given because i knew it made my siblings gag and i had awful emetophobia#anyway yeah just thinking back on the neglect as an adult really puts things into perspective#i can think of at least 10 times off the top of my head that she would have let me die without batting an eye#and idk how i survived honestly. i guess i was just fortunate because theres no way i saved myself in those scenarios#actually there was one time my sister took me to the ER (against my moms will even though she had health insurance 🙃)#but that was when my sister was an adult#i mean that same sister also did allow other shady stuff though without batting an eye so idk how grateful i should be#like she was perfectly fine with the fact that our house had no heat and i just occasionally (every day) could not be woken up#idk what kinda double standards she had going on there but yeah#i lived! yay...?#yea yay

DC x DP Prompt *30*
If anyone would ask Bruce how he could have known, he would tell them that it is obvious. Phantom - the new part-time member of the Young Justice - who seemed to be forever young and their new engineer Danny Fenton who is in his early twenties have perfectly fitting schedules. When Fenton is working in the Watchtower, Phantom will be unavailable for the Young Justice and vice versa. Also, the pranks started after both of these figures appeared. Of course one could argue that they could just be related or somehow knew each other otherwise, but the pranks that were pulled on all of the mentors of the Young Justice were only possible with Phantom Powers. And because of the new Ghost Shield the young hero wouldn't be able to just fly into the Watchtower and had to use the Zeta-Tube, what would mean that they should be able to look at the logs. But Phantom never entered the Watchtower while the pranks were under way. And as soon as his team really needed him, Fenton would make an excuse to leave work early.
What he wouldn't tell anyone, is that he saw how Fenton had transformed himself into Phantom, shortly before the Flash got up to run for a snack, just to fall down because his ankles had been cuffed together.
And maybe he helped him from time to time, with a well timed question to distract his fellow heros. Because the motive became clear really fast. Everytime someone got pranked, that someone had done something to ignite the wrath of the younger heros.
All of that also meant two things.
First of all, as soon as Danny was at work, Batman would be extra aware of his surroundings. The pranks never worked on him, which meant he had to dodge more attempts for the rest of the day.
And secondly: He should talk to Tim, after he found out how he had put his foot in his mouth this time, since he just saw his spoon move in his coffee mug without anyone's involvement. He just let his (probably salty) coffee go cold, brooding. Maybe he should go home early today and spend some quality time with his son...

okay i was thinking about this last night as i was going to dunks but like it's so true that new england's relationship with dunks is unparalleled like i lived in florida for 10 years and they didn't know how to make a medium regular but every time i went home I'd ask for a medium regular and get it made perfectly every time no question
#i remember my aunties coming over with a box of munchkins for the kids and all of the adult coffee orders#and when i moved back to new england and could visit my sister once a month i literally became THAT auntie#2 med regulars for me and my sister and a box of munchkins for the kids#(and then we'd chain smoke and talk shit and drink our coffees on the porch like our aunties used to)#also a medium regular is a hot coffee with cream and sugar if you didn't know#anyway i love living in new england best region ever never leaving

Jazz and Jason have been dating for two and a half weeks now. And in this timeframe Danny still hasn't warmed up to the former Crime Lord. Not even when Jason makes the decision to share his vigilante i.d. with Danny.
As a last ditch effort Jazz leaves Danny in her boyfriend's care while she completes her college semester. She's eager to get back to their shared apartment once finals are over, more so when Jason tells her on the phone both he and Danny have a surprise waiting for her.
To say that she was woefully unprepared for what this surprise that awaited her at home turned out to be would be quite the understatement. As never in her wildest dreams did she expect to be met with her little brother having gone through yet another just as drastic though much less extreme change.
*while halfway through the door*
Jazz: So, what's this about you two having a surprise for me?
*smirking slyly*
Jason: Danny! Jazz is home!
*apartment practically shakes from the heavy thud of footsteps, followed by the appearance of a behemoth of a seventeen year old*
Danny: Jazzy, you're finally back!
*after sweeping her into a bear hug*
Danny: Ok, I admit it. I was wrong about him. From here on out I'm completely on board! When you guys get married, can I be the best.... Uh, Jazz? You okay there?
*quivering with horror while struggling to face Jason, still trapped in Danny's arms*
Jazz: WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY LITTLE BROTHER?!
#dpxdc#danny phantom#batman#danny fenton/phantom#jazz fenton#jason todd/red hood#anger management#jazz+jason#tall jazz#though some short beanpole of an older teen or adult danny fics or prompts do a decent job of holding my interest#i will forever be team jack-sized young adult/all grown up danny#poor jason is so flabbergasted and also a little hurt by jazz's reaction#all he did was finally earn her little brother's trust by feeding him properly and enforcing a bedtime#while danny steadily becomes more and more self-conscious about his now huge stature the longer jazz rants#especially when she likens him to a teenage version of bane#jazz's just so used to as well as prefers being the big sister in size as well as age it's only natural she wasn't ready for that to change

I just randomly searched up pressure tickle not thinking I'd get much if at all BUT BOY WAS I WRONG 😅 Your style though is by far my favorite! Anyways I might've had a couple cute ideas that might peak your interest. For one, I've been wondering what would happen if Sebby was introduced to SCP-999 the Tickle Monster. Especially since it's used to treat trauma and such. And then one thing I found the tag to be lacking... content with past Seb and his siblings tickling the crap out of eachother!
o7 happy to provide boss
dialogue provided as always by sunshine and kindly translated by @fluffymary you're a real one ;;
sometimes it's nice to reminisce with someone who understands
#my art#mine#my ocs#pressure tickles#roblox pressure tickles#sebastian solace#solace family#viorel#improvised the designs for his siblings lmao#sebastian definitely had annoying middle child syndrome#and bullied his little brother (lovingly) a lot#and his big sister. who already bullied him before his little brother was born. doubled down in his defense all the time#poor mama solace had her hands full with the three of them lmao#oh also just to prevent misgendering. viorel is he/him transmasc#but he didnt transition until he was an adult#so when he says he was a big sister. he's deadass. he Was#now hes a big brother (nothing has changed)

do any other youngest siblings (particularly if you have like. a large age gap with your siblings) feel kind of detached from your immediate family because you were simply not included or treated like you were Apart of it.

thinking about the character again (cinderpelt) and it's likely unintentional and a result of either her shifting narrative role from young go getter to wise mentor or a shift in how the books display their own politics but i find something really tragic in-universe in how she develops from a character who will actively and willingly break the warrior code when it conflicts with her own morals (immediately lying to cover for graystripe and silverstream, acting in direct defiance of her leadership to nurse littlecloud and whitethroat back to health) but overtime through her role she gradually grows more god-fearing and pious and embodies somewhat of a "starclan is always right, even when they are cruel, and we need to accept that" position
#i dont want to get too into the deeper philosophy behind cinderpelt's arc in twilight bc there's a lot of messier factors there#namely what is potentially intended to be a story about faith and emotional strength in the context of terminal illness#but in warrior cats fate is tied to starclan and starclan is also the theocratic government and the law and the status quo#and i think cinderpelt's character is an interesting microchosm of the influence that proximity to it can have#im interrupting a rant thread on my priv twitter to bring this point here instead but that's not even getting into how like#cinderpelt grew up in the bluestar era where bluestar was rebelling against starclan in a way that directly affected her own life#traumatising her sister with a demeaning name. indirectly killing her cousin. leading to the little+white situation.#leaving her (a child/teen/young adult) in the awkward position of being the ambassador TO starclan#but then when bluestar dies she immediately BECOMES the face of starclan. likely who cinderpelt would often speak with#it's fucked up!!!! theres a lot of implications about her character's relationship to starclan that are really untouched#and it makes sense that they are bc it's all built on headcanon and subtext and entirely unintentional coincidence but STILLL

Marisol Coxi was one of those Monster High dolls I really wanted when I was little but never ended up getting, so I think it would be awesome if she got brought back for G3! Going off that I thought I’d try designing her a G3 look! I actually love how it turned out, I wanted to keep her colour scheme and aspects of her original design (like the hair and the shoes) but also looked up some Peruvian clothes for her since she’s from Monster Pichu!
#I really really like it lol#I had Abbey growing up and once it was revealed Marisol was her cousin I thought it would be great to have them both#but I was a kid so my sisters and I really only ever got MH dolls as Christmas or birthday gifts if we were lucky so we couldn’t really pick#who we’d get#but now I’m an adult with adult money#and I can get dolls when they come out!#manifesting G3 abbey#I know she’s out in some stores so I really want to find her in my town#monster high#monster high reboot#monster high g3#monster high gen 1#mh g3#mh g1#marisol coxi#monster exchange

The Naruto timeline is killing me. I know the general idea is that it’s been ~60 years since Konoha formed but everyone’s talking like Konoha has existed for forever.
It doesn't make sense! Tsunade is in her 50s in canon! she shouldn't talk about Konoha like it was well established when she was a child! By saying Tsunade is Hashirama's granddaughter instead of his daughter, we must interpret that Hashirama had a child like. a decade before Konoha formed, so that when Konoha is 10, Tsunade is born. But that's BATSHIT. that means anyone older than sixty– an age even front line shinobi can reach as evidenced by Hiruzen, and surely an age shinobi that specialize in skills that are less directly combative/take them out of the village often, MUCH LESS CIVILIANS!! You cannot make propaganda good enough to make an entire generation of senior citizens forget that your honorable village hasn't even hit a century.
There is such a big deal made of Hiruzen remembering a time before Konoha and so you expect him to be like. late 80s or 90s. old enough to makes him recalling that time suitably rare. old enough that every shinobi is like. wow. you're hot shit and also God Of Shinobi. But he's SIXTY EIGHT. Sakura's civilian grandparents probably remember a time before Konoha. This is not that big of a accomplishment. I don't care if Kishimoto thinks 60 years is a long ass time to a shinobi. It just doesn't work for the sort of worldbuilding he's trying to sell.
My only options are to either stretch the timeline to fit the vibes of "Konoha has been around soooooo long (while still be relatively new in the grand scheme of things)" or scrap all that "Konoha is ancient" shit.
......So. I’ve stretched it to Konoha being formed 100 years ago when canon starts (the year Naruto graduates the Academy). This is more reasonable, making it so that no one alive really Remembers A Time Before, making Konoha's propaganda much more effective.
This, however, has had some significant impact on Hiruzen's generation because even though I have made them significantly older when canon starts (like. mid 80s) they were still born about ~20 years after Konoha was founded. Early enough that some instability was around and Hiruzen's generation could personally know Hashirama and Tobirama, but they don't actually have any experience living through the Warring Clans Era. This has likewise made the Sannin much much older– around the same age as Hiruzen actually is in canon.
But Tsunade's age actually makes sense for her being Hashirama's granddaughter now! So there's that!
#Naruto#apple skin au#my posts#formatting this timeline has kicked my ass so hard. I had to redo it three times because keeping all the main characters#(rookie nine + teachers) the same age they are in canon while stretching the timeline was a bitch and a half. A way i solved this is having#a lot of parents (Sakumo + Hiruzen + unnamed Hashirama's child) have their children fairly late in life. which. doesn't make much sense for#shinobi. who generally don't make it to ~50.#So the horrible way I have circumvented is by saying that kunoichi tend to have way more miscarriages than civilians.#and that when kids that are born they tend to uh... sometimes kick the bucket before they reach 10.#meaning a LOT of canon adult characters were supposed to have like three more siblings if tragedy hadn't struck.#Sorry Kakashi! It's probably not going to come up in my fic but I gave you two older sisters that died before you were born!#this is great. I've both figured out an in-world reason for why shinobi would want civilian wives (and why civilian girls thought they had#a chance with sasuke) AND filled in some family trees AND made the shinobi world more suitably bloody#worldbuilding my beloved

first time i watched 'no exit' i was 100% in jo's corner like oh great it's sexist dean time . wheeee let's all watch her learn a lesson about hunting and he can be 'right' in a factual way but he'll be as obnoxious as possible about it the whole time . now i think what's happening here is that he has pretty much instantly samzoned her, as a college dropout from a hunting family who has a contentious relationship with her one surviving parent. EXCEPT that she's a five-foot-something twiggy barely-out-of-her-teens woman who has a crush on him and has never been on a serious hunt before, and he's dismissive/over-vigilant enough with the actual sam, a powerfully-built man with clairvoyant powers and over a decade of experience. bearing that in mind, his behavior towards jo is barely outside his normal realm of bossy and overbearing, and since he knows a little something about how sams will respond to direct orders, he still tells her mother she's not on the hunt with them so as to avoid the fallout until it's over. basically i think the whole dean thing, his most consistent characterization over the course of fifteen years, is his tendency to express even genuine protectiveness through the medium of 'bossy older sibling', and this makes him come off like the worst person on the planet. he frequently IS, but it's actually because of other things and has nothing to do with that habit in specific
#'you sound like my mother' 'oh that's a bad thing?' < dean thesis statement of the episode. yeah he sounds like that bc he is a mother jo#like. maybe because i was eighteen when i first watched it i was like he is being SO dismissive to her! she's grown! she's an adult!#but i'm nearly thirty now and alona tal is SO young in this episode . you could snap her like a twig#and she's like. i mean i have a twenty-one-year-old sister and the things i would and would not approve of her doing#based on my perception of her ability to not get hurt in the process. whoof#it's weird . not saying dean winchester can ever be valid but maybe for this one he's just correct in a rude way after all#and then he gets right into the other dean thesis: she has OPTIONS. why is she doing this when she could be doing literally#anything else. he never gets to the point where he considers he could just go do something else. that will never occur to him#but when it comes to sam-type people he assumes they should want the other options. and he is TERRIFIED of this with sam specifically#jo isnt his actual sister so she can and should explore the other options. but if sam does he thinks he'll never see him again#his evidence for this is that when sam went to college they didnt talk for four years. but he also never thinks#'we're better about communication now and if he went back to school we would definitely still talk'#because he assumes all things that have happened in the past will happen that way again. and he's in supernatural. so it's a fair assumptio#spn#q

This shirt is from Robert Plant's tour for his Now & Zen album. My sister got it on CD and played it so much. It's one of my favorite albums. Sadly, we did not get to go to this concert. I'm not sure why. Brain is faulty. Memory retrieval is not functioning.
Unfriendly went. We didn't meet until 5-6 years after this tour. As he was cleaning out his dresser and closet, he showed it to me and I took it over. He was 20 at the time so it doesn't fit him comfortably anymore. Mine now!
I can't remember the exact conversation about this album with him pre-dating, but I do remember being happy he also loved this album.
#I vaguely remember that REM and rod Stewart had shows in the same month maybe#because I have it stuck in my head that there were three Rs that I wanted to see that I couldn't#i was 14 at the time so who knows why my sister decided against it#my sister passed in 2019 so i can't ask her#yeah we met when we were both adults and I thought he was too old for me at the time because I thought he was in his 30s and I was 19#we didnt start dating until I was 21

All the talk about siblings has got me wondering if a certain experience is a common phenomenon or not.
Did you, providing you had younger siblings with let’s say an at least 5 yr age gap between you and them, have a younger sibling that was your “baby”? (aka you wanted to hold them all the time, dress them up, get them up from naps, basically just treat them like your own kid. Not necessarily in a kid-who-is-super-nurturing-and-into-baby-dolls way, just that you were super attached.)
A reblog to reach more people would be nice, if you’d like :).
#I have a little sister who was like this for me. she was born when I was eleven.#from birth to about two we were really close—and then she decided she didn’t like me as much. it hurt then and it kinda still hurts now.#to this day she clashes quite a bit with me unfortunately—but maybe it’ll be better when she’s an adult🤷♀️#(For the record our parents were not pushing us or expecting us to be parent like in any way to our siblings.)#it’s funny to me because at no point was I into playing house or babydolls as a child.#nor when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up did I ever say “a mom”.#reading beanie babies playmobil and playing outside with my brother was much more my thing.

The cool part about having little siblings is that at any point you can just make them come see whatever you're working on and be like "behold that I have done shit give me glorious applause and accolades for the hard work I have done" and they'll be like "cool. good job. can I go back to my minecraft now."
#chit chat#this even works when you're both adults it just happens over text instead lmao#family stuff#'good job. im playing minecraft tho' is such a great compliment when showing any other family member is like#'well it's a start but you still have a long way to go'#yes i know#appreciate what i HAVE done tho#lmao#this is why my sister is the only person who gets to see my wips#'here's a new galidraan chapter.' 'hm. it's good. post it.'

I know the Oak Swallows Garcia house didn’t have pets but if they did I just KNOW if Normal had a fish that died in the night it would be replaced with an identical fish before he woke up and he wouldn’t learn the truth for years
Hero on the other hand is an older child. If her fish died it was dead
#dndads#dungeons and daddies#noodly#inspired by my experience as an older sibling lol#when we had fish when I was a kid?#dead within a couple months#when my youngest sister was a kid?#that fish got replaced for years lmao#also#Sparrow has speak with animals#he could get consent from animals to own them#he just doesn’t want pets#just like my dad who told us he was allergic to fur and it wasn’t until I was an adult that I learned he lied
