"you're ethan nakamura's mother" him addressing nemesis as ethan's mother first makes me think that he was a lot more familiar with ethan than the books implied. you have ten/eleven year old nico trying to repress all signs of silliness and then he sees this kid who has an eyepatch and the pirate obsession kicks in and he just has to ask.
#“are you a pirate” “no i gave my mom my eye”#dysfunctional friends#“hey ethan how's world domination coming along” “fuck off di angelo”#i just like the idea of nico being friends with rogue demigods#he definitely knows Alabaster to some degree#nico di angelo#tsats#the sun and the star#nico di angelo headcanon#ethan nakamura#pjo hoo toa

(Ao3 heads-up: all my works are only shown to registered users)
Once upon a time, I wrote a really short story about pitfalls and downfalls of the one and the collective. In truth I'd had a brief spark of inspiration about a time-travelling plot twist.
Teenager me was very proud of this short piece of very amateur literature, because I thought being extremely vague about the gender of the space tyrant was incredibly progressive and not at all a manifestation of my own oblivious and not unique agender ass.
My go-to idea for publication was self-publishing, so a few months ago I had decided to test it out with a novelette titled Inferno. Well, self-publishing is darn hard, and I've had enough of testing, so Inferno has been retired and is not only free in full on Ao3 and Wattpad, but I've changed its title into Legacy of Mayhem and several paragraphs while I was at it.

Star-children aren’t an oddity, but Ember, volatile like fire, born of death and new light, sure is–a very troublesome, talkative one, who has been kidnapped (twice) by a very miffed warrior, survivor of an apocalypse yet to come.
Duly named Miff, said warrior has the mission of challenging Time itself and its rule over History. After a first merciful, failed attempt he must find another way to avoid the rise of a tyrant to lunacy.
To avoid Mayhem.
Two stubborn people on the run from governments and monsters, from the past that becomes the future, with the task of saving the universe twice–once each. If they don’t drive each other crazy first.
Focusing on the interactions between Ember and Miff and their conversations, this work's purpose is to explore how the burden of society’s greed and expectations brings about the downfall of the individual and of itself.

regulus is stronger than me if i was beefing my sibling and they had their codependent freak of a friend putting their two cents in i would've walked into the argument with an explosive belt on
#this is why jegulus is 'enemies to lovers' before they're 'best friends brother'#james would not know when to mind his own business he'd be standing next to sirius going yuupp and make everything worse#james honey stay out of dysfunctional sibling business or risk a tetanus infection from the rusty nail regulus carries around just for you#regulus black#james potter#sirius black#black brothers#jegulus#marauders#marauders era

"Love" and "proud" and "family" come up so frequently in bat comics now. Bleh. Bring back something I can relate to like emotional constipation and repression.
#boooo i want my dysfunctional family rep#which like they are still. technically. i mean you can't look at gotham war and be like that's a functional family#but at the same time they have a group chat and like huh what?? naaaah group chat is too... normal#am i making sense#i just feel like instead of being big happy family#they should all be more sectioned off#to only some members interacting or getting along#and others not really interacting or not being that close#y'know. variety.#and steph not being included in the family and just a friend/ally. like babe she's not bruce's kid and why would you want her to be#why would you do that to her and give her a dad like bruce#but also also all the love/pride/family stuff hits so much better when it's rare. a treat. it's so constant now it doesn't hit the same#batfam

Just go forward like you mean it by tawaen
Just go forward like you mean it
by tawaen
M, WIP, 67k, Wangxian
Summary: Before Wei Wuxian can say he will join Jiang Cheng and attend the Wen indoctrination, a letter describing the burning of the Cloud Recesses reaches Lotus Pier. Realizing the danger to the Jiang sect, he decides to stay behind to help with the defenses and keep his sect safe. While he agonizes over the fate of the disciples sent as little more than hostages, he upgrades the wards of the Jiang sect to stand against the inevitable Wen army. Lotus Pier will survive, and Wei Wuxian changes his own fate and the fate of the Sunshot Campaign. Kay's comments: A WIP, but only barely! I hope I manage to post this in time for WIP Rec Week, because tawaen updates quickly and there's only one chapter missing! I really, really enjoyed the direction this canon divergence took with Wei Wuxian staying behind in Lotus Pier during the indoctrination and making sure there's at least one person who prepares for the inevitable Wen invasion. I won't spoil much, but he's also becoming a rogue cultivator and finds his way to Lan Wangji sooner and you know, I'm so weak for that. Can't wait for the last chapter! Excerpt: “A decision on aiding the Lan need not be made now. However, our disciples will need to leave early tomorrow. A-Xian, I assume you will go with A-Cheng?” Jiang Fengmian looks over with an indulgent smile, but it is strained at the edges. Jiang Yanli turns in her seat to face him with open concern. She would send no one if that were possible. At some point during the argument she stopped peeling lotus seeds, remaining still and impassive to avoid drawing attention to herself. Her hands clench with her nails digging into her palms. Wei Wuxian didn't even notice. He gives her a reassuring smile. Wei Wuxian salutes, “Uncle Jiang, at this time, I would like to stay in Lotus Pier. We should not send our two best fighters to Qishan. One of us should remain behind in case of further Wen demands.” While Jiang Yanli relaxes slightly, Jiang Cheng turns sharply to look at him with betrayal in his eyes. This would normally make Wei Wuxian change course – but the Lan wards failed. Who is to say the Jiang wards would prevail?
pov wei wuxian, canon divergence, fall of lotus pier, inventor wei wuxian, genius wei wuxian, no golden core transfer, sect leader jiang yanli, jiang cheng has no golden core, dysfunctional jiang family, jiang family dynamics, bad parents jiang fengmian and yu ziyuan, developing relationship, friends to lovers, angst with a happy ending

🎨 at last… my final riddle..
Can I request a muichiro x father figure! reader where the father is washing his hair for the first time… scrub scrub scrub
WAAAAAAAAAAAAA WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Hey Dolly! I am going To kill you with a Bat! /a
Muichiro and a father figure; washing his hair for the first time!
contains; brief implications of Mui dissociating (it's one line), reader has a good knowledge of hair care, your honour they are found family
word count; 514
Mui… oh my baby boy Mui… My son whom I adore so
as a Hashira, Muichiro’s mind is often far too preoccupied to think too hard about self care, when he’s not spaced out of course.
however, no one grows their hair out that long without learning to take care of it at some point! Giyuu and Mitsuru have given him the hair care shakedown in the past and as a result his hair is for the post part fine — clean, but not particularly shiny or silky.
I think he has pretty thick hair too, so oftentimes washing it can feel like a bit of a chore…
is he going to cut it though? no, he actually quite likes his hair. it helps to have something to fiddle with when he’s looking in the mirror to remind him that the boy looking back at him is himself.
so when you, a fellow Hashira he’s found himself in a strange familial situation with, offer to wash his hair? he stares for a second in shock, then quite readily agrees.
(he gets excited to spend time together like he does with Tanjiro 🥺)
since joining the corps, he’s been the only one washing his hair — his mother always seemed to know what to do and she enjoyed doing it, so he would always just sit back and relax while she washed his hair… and he can’t help but think back to that time when the memories come back to him in a wave.
he sits in the bath almost limp as you gently rub his scalp and run the shampoo through his long hair, sat on a stool behind him with everything you need on the floor by your feet. it feels more like you’re talking at him than to him, but that’s only because he’s just so relaxed that he can’t think of much in the way of a response other than an occasional “mm…”
if his skull wasn’t in the way, he’d think you and your magic hands had turned his brain to mush.
once he’s out of the bath, you help him dry his hair and joke that you could use him as a mop with how long it was. he doesn’t say anything, but you do see a tiny smile in the mirror.
then, just before bed, you braid his hair to keep it safe while he sleeps and give him a cuddle before you leave to get ready for bed yourself. he hasn’t said much all evening, but you have a feeling he wouldn’t complain about doing this again.
Muichiro basically passes out as soon as his head hits the pillow. the second you’re out the door, bang.
the next day, he notices just how many people compliment his hair and how nice it looks, how shiny it is. when he sees you again, he doesn’t mention it, but he does go to you for hair care advice from then on out — if you offer to wash his hair for him again when he does, he counts that as an absolute win!
please do not repost
#lucky writes#muichiro tokito x reader#muichiro tokito headcanons#demon slayer x reader#kimetsu no yaiba x reader#kny x reader#STARTS RIPPING UP THE CARPET WITH MY TEETH#MY SONNNNN I LOVE MY SON SO MUCH#I used to have rlly long hair so I'd have that boy looking FLY.#i have that kinda hair that gets hair dressers excited like people with good veins get doctors excited#I don't want my boy to repeat my mistake of not braiding his hair before bed. it stops tangling and breaking and it's just all around Good#unless you braid it too tight#anyway#this took too long :skull: executive dysfunction#also I got Clorinde in gensh#:ecstacy:#<- emoji reference only my best friend will get

god this website is incredible. every single other post was just a giant photo of someone's dick btw . kinda feel bad for amped up addy it seems like a difficult scene if you're not into pnp. like "I just want to do drugs in peace man can you put your dick away" just they're just in it for the love of the game. focused. very admirable
#tumblr#maybe this is autism but i dont really understand what the point is of doing speed with someone else?#like as a friend activity? i only engage with amphetamines as a drug to make me less dysfunctional though not more

#miraculous ladybug#marigami#marinette#kagami#perfection#neurodivergent#autism#adhd#audhd#mlb#mlb s5#mlb caps#mlb capspam#like this was just too real#if i'd seen this ep when it came out i would've been like hahaha they are being so silly and literal who does that?? why am i crying?#bc it's depicted in such an OTT way#and i was still in denial and i still struggle to articulate my own feelings#but wow @ all of this#down to worrying about whether anyone cares about you as much/how to be a “best friend”#i feel like it really does take a superhero(ine) to handle the intensity of those kinds of feelings tho idek#but then mari being like “i'm the problem” at the end is perfect too lolol#i am both of these people and it's why i'm so dysfunctional lmao

can we talk about how we’ve gone full circle with these two pulling eachother literally kicking and screaming to spend time together
#maybe this is incorrect but as someone who is pretty much the same the way i see it is mortys life was peaceful before rick but it also lik#Actually Sucked. like. his parents were constantly fighting and he was getting bullied every day and he couldn’t focus in class he very-#obviously is nd but nobody is trying to help him in having SOME sort of future and understand stuff in school.. like..#the way i see it is rick pulled him OUT of that. his life was a lot scarier and darker for a while afterward but i feel like after a bit-#he definitely would rather rick did come into his life the way he did. because otherwise morty would just be this shy kid with no friends-#and dysfunctional home life and probably no future forever#and now we’ve gone full circle and he’s doing that for rick now. but that’s just how i see it#rick and morty#odiespeak
