I am this close 🤏 to taking the word "siblings" away from the Sonic fandom and putting it on a shelf. People here seriously use it as a shorthand for "any characters I don't ship that have a good relationship in canon." It's wild. Y'all are out of control.
Because let me tell you, I've had a (step-)brother for 28 years. And I have never once talked to him like this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(He's the "prince." It's teasing bordering on flirting. And the other two aren't even borderline.)
This isn't a "they're canon dating" post, it's a "they don't interact like siblings" post. Sisters don't flirt with their brothers unless there's something messed up happening in that family. And Rouge, canonically, flirts with Shadow. Meaning that she definitely doesn't see him as a brother, and likewise, we have no reason to believe that, canonically, Shadow sees her as anything more than a friend.
Here are the confirmed sibling relationships in canon:
Sonic & Tails
Scratch & Grounder
Rough & Tumble
Shadow & Maria as of this month
Sonic & Sonia & Manic in Underground
Sally & Elias(? was that his name?)
Aside from some more obscure pairs in Archie or similar adaptations I may have missed, that's it! Everyone else? Friends. They're just friends. And you can say "I see them as just friends" and sound far less clownish than when you decide literally everyone, including characters who flirt with each other (or at least have one-way flirting like Shadow and Rouge), are "siblings."
Thank you and goodnight.

heyy I'm not sure if you still do headcanons or anything like this and if not that's totally okay!! I was just wondering how loki might react if he was invited to spend the holidays with the reader(or if the readers family came to the compound for the holidays, up to you!) thanks!!ᥫ᭡.
Hey!!! I’m happy to do headcannons! Thank you for requesting! 💚
I kept it all very neutral and vague with using ‘festivities’ instead of ‘Christmas’ terminology because I know not everyone celebrates it. I also kept the family terminology vague and just used ‘your parents’ and not ‘mum and dad’ or whatever because I know not everyone has a nuclear family (me being one of them!) No mentions of pronouns for reader.
Avenger!Loki x Partner!You ‘Meeting The Fam’ Headcannons
Tumblr media
Loki knew he shouldn’t have been surprised when you had mentioned him tagging along with you for the holidays to your hometown, to spend the festivities with your family, but he still had that moment of shock at the invitation
At first, he didn’t quite know what to say. Him meeting your family? He, the God of Mischief, the war criminal turned Avenger, the morally grey trickster… Meeting… your very human, and highly likely, definitely ‘normal’ family?
It wasn’t quite self-consciousness he felt, but nerves for sure. If his younger self had seen him now, he would’ve berated him for worrying about what mere mortals would think about him, but these weren’t just any mere mortals, they were your mere mortals, your family
When he didn’t answer straight away, you had insisted he could take a few days to think about it and you wouldn’t be offended if he said no, but Loki quickly shook his head, cutting you off
“No, it isn’t that I don’t want to, it’s just-“ “It’s just…?” “Well… I’m… me.” “Yes… you are you.” “You know what I mean.”
You gave him a small understanding smile at that
But after you had convinced him it would be fine, he agreed, wanting to be there for you, to be with you for the holidays - something that seemed very important to mortals, being with family during such a time
Loki could feel his palms get clammy from apprehension and nerves as you both stood outside your childhood home, bags of gifts in your arms
“Loki, trust me, they’re going to love you.”
When the door opened, Loki swore he felt his heart stop, awaiting the look of disappointment at the fact their child had brought along the God of Mischief
But when he was greeted with smiles and warmth, he blinked in confusion, but before he could even begin to process the warm welcome, he was being ushered inside, your parents fretting about him catching a cold
“Can Gods even get a cold?” One of your parents had asked, making you roll your eyes and shake your head in amusement as you glanced up at Loki
You could see the bewildered look on the God’s face as your parents began to fuss, taking the bags from him and not batting an eyelid at the fact he was in their home, and it made your heart soften with a slight ache
“We were told you don’t like anything too sweet, so I made sure we had enough nuts and fruits and such for you to feast on,” one of your parents had told Loki with a smile and nod, making him raise his brows, glancing at you
“Oh, that’s…” Loki cleared his throat. “Lovely. Thank you.” It sounded a little awkward, but your parents didn’t pay much mind
As the evening went on, Loki had began to relax slightly, quietly watching the new dynamics unfold with a keen eye. He watched the way you interacted with everyone, seeing how at ease and comforted you were at being home. He had to admit, it was infectious
When someone suggested playing a game, Loki’s eyes lit up. Now this was an area he was good at
It was then he began to come out of his shell, although, he wasn’t exactly shy, you could tell he was unsure how to navigate this new realm - the realm of ‘meeting the parents’
Spending time with your family reminded him of past moments with his own, the lighter times, the fonder memories
“See, it’s not so scary is it?” You had teased him later on, Loki giving you a playful glare. “I never said it was ‘scary’.” “No?” “No, I don’t believe those words came from my lips.” “Ah, my mistake. It’s just… when I mentioned it you look like I’d just told you I’d murdered someone and that we had to hide the body…” “Shh, I’m enjoying my nuts.” Of course, you laughed at that
And as he spent the next few days with your family, Loki began to feel a sense of warmth and gratitude for being invited, for being involved and treated as though he wasn’t a God, a Prince, an Avenger with a dark past and morally grey tendencies…
He was just treated as Loki, just as you treated him as such
He even received a gift to open from your parent, which he hadn’t at all expect and felt a little guilty that all he had brought was a bottle of wine (expensive but not particularly thoughtful because he had no clue what to gift them)
It was a simple gift, an cotton scarf in his signature colour, but the thoughtfulness behind it warmed him - a feeling that he was experiencing rather a lot in you and your families company. Of course, he knew you would’ve given your parents some tips on what to get for him, and his heart swelled at that thought
Loki had never really understood the festive season, finding it a commodity and just another way for mortals to send money needlessly… but…
It was safe to say he was beginning to understand now. And he found that he was becoming fond of it
“Maybe… Next year we can do this again?” He had asked you when you were alone, a soft look in his eyes, a glimmer of hope. And of course, you smiled, nodding, happy that Loki seemed happy. “Of course we can. Although, i think they may actually be considering swapping me out so you be their child instead.” You had joked, making Loki chuckle. “Well, who am I to deny such attempts?” You gasped playfully, lightly hitting him on the arm. “Hey!” “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure they leave a place for you at the table.”
Loki playfully smirked before wrapping his arms around you, embracing you in a silent thank you for letting him experience it all by your side

Ah :⁠-⁠\
I mean, I don't deny that a TFP x SG TFP can be good, i guess
I don't know where to start with, although
I gotchu fam. Transcribed from discord
TFP, during the hunt for the relics. The ones they've found are split pretty evenly between the bots and cons, and there's been yet another located. It's unclear exactly what it does, the discovered data corrupted, but if the previous ones are any indication, it's surely important. Both teams are in the same scene, vying for control of their new find and desperate to make off with it to secure the upper hand. Its a pretty balanced battle until someone, idk who, lands a blaster shot way too close to the relic and it promptly goes nuclear. Massive explosion of sound and impossibly bright light, shockwaves travelling out in a ring and throwing everyone back. It stuns pretty much everyone, with the smaller mecha (vehicons, Arcee, maybe Starscream) being more heavily effected.
Imagine their surprise as they're peeling themselves off the ground, audials ringing and internals rattling... and there's suddenly double the amount of bodies as before. We'll focus on Arcee for the sake of clarity: she sits up with all sensors trying to recalibrate and groans, muttering to herself, "What the slag was that?"
Another voice, her voice, utters it at exactly the same time and she sobers up quick, finding herself nose-to-nose with a perfect, carbon copy. They're perfect mirrors of each other, each leaping up with weapons primed in a defensive stance in perfectly identical movements, and flinching back in surprise when they find their doppelganger doing the same thing. Everything, doen to the tiniest detail, even when they blink, it's the same.
It's not just Arcee either, it's everyone. Two Bumblebees, two Arcees, two Soundwave, two Starscreams, two of everyone! The relic is nowhere to be seen, none of their sensors can pick up on it, and everyone is so caught up in the confusion of sudden doppelgangers the battlefield disperses. They all evcuate back to their respective bases
The only autobot not at the fight was Ratchet, and he has no idea what to make of it. They appear to be perfect clones, similar to the Starscream incident. That's his leading theory until Arcee, one of the Arcees, mentions that she is not a clone, thank you very much, and even if she was there's no way she'd wear blue and pink paint. The newcomers insist that they're not copies, and this is definitely not where they're supposed to be.
They're from another dimension >:3
Without the relic there's no way to reverse engineer what happened to them, and the most the team here has ever done with different realities is the bit with the shadow zone. But this is much more advanced than that, and trying to return them is, uhhhh. Not gonna be easy.
Things seem ok for the first few hours. The new autobots keep to themselves, clustering around their Prime and speaking in hushed whispers. The native bots try to give them privacy--they've just been through a crazy, impossible situation and are stranded in another dimension. It makes sense they'd be stressed, and if the way hands are waving and faces are frowning while they argue quietly in the corner is any indication, they're not too happy about being stuck here.
They try to make the newcomers feel welcome, and Bumblebee + Smokescreen are especially delighted. Smokey declared that he's, "Always wanted to have a twin!" and promptly invites them to go for a joyride. Offering to let them come pick up the kids from school, they'll lose their minds when they see!
To which the new BB and SS look at them completely befuddled. They have sparklings here?
To which they're told no, definitely not! Our human children, silly. Every single new autobot turns to look at them so fast it's a little uncanny, expressions ranging from unreadable to downright shocked.
"...human children?" The new Prime asks, his tone quizzical, optics slightly narrow as if he's suspicious of their claim. "You employ human children?"
"Wha- no no no, they don't work for us!" They wouldn't use child labor, after all! They explain that the kids, mostly, just hang out with them. They're more for companionship than anything, and the new Optimus looks even more baffled.
"You... keep them as... pets?"
No, definitely not!!
As it turns out, these autobots don't have human companions. At all. No kiddos to look after, no government contacts, nothing. It's a bit odd, but hey, they come from another dimension, and if Jack hadn't gotten handsy with Arcee on that random afternoon, they likely wouldn't have humans around, either. Other-Arcee just wasn't at the right place at the right time, that's all.
New Prime doesn't say anything further, just kind of nods and goes back to quietly conversing with Ultra Magnus.
It's weird, when the kids arrive, the new autobots almost seem skittish of them. Reluctant to touch them, giving them a wide berth and taking comically large steps over them. Poor things must be afraid of hurting them 🤭
The trio is very excited to meet the newcomers, as predicted. They try to make friends but they really aren't interested. The closest they get to being even acquaintances is an offer of paint to make them easier to distinguish, and the newcomers are aaall over it. Other Arcee paints herself deep purple and silver, Bumblebee is now silver and green, Optimus himself is purple and black.
There's little tells that seem a bit odd--when the new Prime walks into a room, his soldiers don't stand at attention but instead fold their servos and lower their helms. They seem vaguely put off by human squishiness, thinly veiled distaste. And they're very eager to fight decepticons, moreso than usual, but wartime grudges can make anyone a little overly enthusiastic, right? Nothing that really strikes them as wrong, though. Not yet. Lord Prime's orders are to maintain cover until they can get their Ratchet to produce a means to travel home--then, wipe all life off the face of this planet and conquer it in the name of the Dynasty of Optronix Prime
They manage to keep their cover right up until Optronix lays eyes on this universe's Megatron 🤭

HI i saw ur horse breeder tubbo thin and i was wonder in thin that universe with the beeduo fam fluff, do he and techno ever get to talk about it? given techno had done that before the Manberg destruction and all that? love your art btw holy-
FIRST OF ALL my friend I would like to congratulate u on being the first person to send me a non-spam ask in weeks, and take this opportunity to encourage others to do the same: I love getting asks, even if I’m not always quick to respond, so don’t be shy!
DISCLAIMER: I’m going to be honest with you, I’m entirely new to this fandom and had NO idea Technoblade bred horses! After doing a brief skim of some Techno vods I did find references to it but alas it’s late and I couldn’t find exactly where that happens, so please bear in mind that I don’t know anything about Techno’s specific experience and am just going off my own au vibes.
ON TO BUSINESSS. 
It would be SO interesting to have Techno and Tubbo talk horses, because post-Manburg Festival there’s a lot of bad blood between them. I think if they did talk they’d have to be ruthlessly businesslike about it, which knowing Technoblade and Tubbo I think they could manage.
Tubbo takes on breeding horses initially as a a side project and a cover for his nuclear research, which means he might choose to seek Technoblade's advice early to ease suspicion and hostility from his biggest threat. I don't imagine he'd seek on-site help, both because that would be insanely uncomfortable for both of them and ain't no way Tubbo wants Technoblade within a thousand yards of his house, but he could definitely meet with Techno for advice and literature. Probably with Ranboo there as a sort of unwitting peacekeeper/hostage: they both care about him, and if this turns into a fight they'll risk hurting him.
It could also turn into a..... tentative sort of long-term bonding experience, because to me Tubbo's very much a woodsman: he understands nature and how to work with it, and I think his down-to-earth pragmatism and drive would be admirable to Techno. I don't think they'd ever be buddies, but if Tubbo occasionally gives him first pick of his finest yearlings, well, that's just maintaining good relations with his kind-of father-in-law.
These are the sorts of conversations that would be insanely fun to write, too, because there's so much potential both for infodumping and for pumping massive amounts of emotionally-charged subtext into discussions about business practice and record-keeping and the importance of proper colt starting and stallion handling.
And because you've gotten me on the topic and I've been thinking about it all day, have a little sketch

When it comes to writing family dynamics, can we PLEASE see more than just sibling dynamics and parent-child dynamics?
I love to see them, I really do, but are yall familiar with the concept of extended family?
Not just the concept, but THE REALITY ITSELF?
I'm an only child but I grew up in a multi-generational household.
a POOR multi-generational household
I had to share rooms (I didn't always have an actual room), clothes, belongings, etc. until I was about 17.
And that was purely because everyone was getting older and finally moving out to do their own thing.
nah, like that place really had anywhere between 7-10+ people in it at any given time-
FAMILIAL LOVE EXISTS OUTSIDE THE IMMEDIATE FAMILY
Close but not necessarily sibling-like relationships exist between extended family members, especially when they live under the same roof, share the same room, sometimes the same bed, play games together, Borrow™ each other's stuff (it was literally just sitting there. you wasn't mad until I started using it-), and the like.
Representation has progressed a lot and while I know multi-generational households aren't all that common in the US, I want to see more stories with these kinds of families.
I adore found family. I understand found family has a lot of dynamics that cannot be cleanly or clearly defined like they can in blood-related families, but I'm not talking about that right now.
I'm also not talking about stories with extended family where them mfs canNOT STAND each other. The evil aunts, mean step-parents, weird uncles, etc.
I would really like to see more stories of extended families living together. As in they're actually close and actually getting along with less of the... idk how to say it, "tribal division" where instead of being an extra-large family, it's just a bunch of small families stuck together for one reason or the other who only really give af about their own?
Maybe I'm not running in the right content circles but most times when I see extended family in media, it's either a one-off, they're passively mentioned, they did something off-screen, or they're an antagonist if not THEE antagonist?
idk man, just-
Like, "Oh cool. You have the standard nuclear family going on. What room is Aunt Tabitha and her daughter Dolores staying in?" Or, "Hey, you're a single parent? Let's write you living with your sibling or even a cousin of yours that's also a single parent."
Let's have that with little to none of the, "But the extended fam is annoying and cruel and evil and they're the problem in the whole story."
nah, liek... The whole family -THEE. WHOLE. FAMILY.- can get along and the problem can be outside of them, NOT them.
I'm bothered.
In closing...
bro- I canNOT TELL YOU the amount of times mfs be havin sad backstories where they're orphaned and all alone but they literally come from a rich, well-connected background and I'm wonderin where tf lil dude's cousins and grandparents is at- LIEK- I KNOW YOU HAVE LIKE 7 SISTERS ALL MARRIED OFF TO RICH DUKES IN FOREIGN LANDS AND SHIT. HOW ARE YOU THIS FUCKING ALONE MY DUDE- ACTUALLY WHY??? WHERE TF GRAM GRAM AT- TAKE AN ANCESTRY TEST AND FIND SOMEBODY- LITERALLY ANYBODY

Alright. I've lit the bonfire, something something now all of my family facebook knows they need to check with me re: contact information so i can update them on my new email address because i'm not tracking down everyone individually to try and gauge interest in having alternative ways to reach out to me. I don't know who wants that information, I don't know what information everyone has and i'm CERTAINLY not going to post it publicly for everyone and god to see. The closest I'll get to that is Facebook DMs which is near abouts as bad but like. In a way I can control at least a *little* better.
Like. there are going to be family members who will not know i've lost access to my email address because they're not on facebook. The main two I can think of already know how else to get in contact with me though, so I'm not actually *concerned* about them, but also like. My family doesn't communicate very well. Clearly.
I just...i'm trying to adjust my usage of the word family because sometimes i use it and i just mean my parents, sometimes i use it and i mean my nuclear bio fam, sometimes i use it and just mean the people i'm blood-related to but might include folks i've met only a handful of times in my life. sometimes i use it for my little family here, that is growing and morphing and changing and...okay i gotta stop that one or i'll work myself up into crying over how much i'm loved now.
but like...no one i am related to talks to each other very well. It's kind of how the perfect storm of things that have led up to me disowning my parents even happened. I was not taught how to communicate and there has always been fear and anxiety around certain communication styles since i was *little*. So I'm struggling to like...fill the gaps? and figure it out now, 3 decades into life, how to reduce the anxiety for myself in order to keep in contact better, but also like....what i'm supposed to keep in contact about? I don't even know what's a normal family update to give and what context with which to give it! argh!!!
cutting my parents off entirely has allowed me to feel more comfortable being...visible online again? I was hiding mainly from the two of them, after all. And now I'm...I'm not hiding anymore. I don't have to because they can't see it. I won't air our dirty laundry for the whole family, that's not going to do anything but make trouble and i don't want trouble. I just...I just want to be loved and cared about and respected as a human being. And i'm starting to figure out who I want to have in my life to be able to do that.
anyway if you know me IRL and would like my updated contact information away from Tumblr, feel free to DM me and we can hash that out. i'm on the angry upswing into righteous justification part of dealing with how yesterday went, so you know. it's on a positive track. hhhhhhh
okay. I'm gonna....open my resume and look at it and see if there's any other changes i gotta make. Or have a panic attack about it first and have to put it away until tonight. Either way.

Oh wow I haven't been tagged in one of these in a minute. Thanks for the tag, @queen-of-voltronian =D
named after anyone?
Yes! I go by KJ, which is my initials. My middle name is after my grandmother. And, she's actually the one who gave me the nickname KJ! So not only am I named after her, but she gave me the name I go by too.
2. last time you cried?
Don't judge me... but it was while I was watching Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Which was last weekend I think?
3. do you have kids?
Furbabies!
4. do you use sarcasm often?
I don't know how to be any other way.
5. what's the first thing you notice about people?
Either their eyes - because I'm an artist and of course I love eyes - or their smell. (THIS SOUNDS SO CREEPY I'M JUST REALLY SENSITIVE????) Because I reaaaaaaaaally can't stand bad smells. So if someone's got, ahem.... some BO? That's gonna be the first thing I notice. Doesn't matter how pretty their eyes are, I'ma notice the SMELL. (Same if they smell really, really nice though. Pretty eyes be damned! If they smell good that's the best.)
6. color of your eyes?
Green!
7. scary movie or happy ending?
Depends on my mood. I like a nice happy ending after a lot of PAIN. But I like scary movies too, if they're actually scary and not just a gore fest. Yuck.
8. any special talents?
Beyond being an artist? I can sing. I get stage fright though, so I don't usually sing publicly, but I can sing. I can also read sheet music, and I can play the oboe and the clarinet. Music is life, fam.
9. where were you born?
In the back of a car at security of a Nuclear Power Plant in Maryland, USA. No, I'm not kidding. My mom has the newspaper clipping still, and my parents got me a baby book specifically to write down the model of the car as my "birth place".
10. hobbies?
I play a lot of video games. A lot, a lot. Too many. It's the main thing I do besides art and reading and being overly invested in shows.
11. pets?
I have 3 cats and a dog!
12. sports?
When I was a kid, I played basketball every year. Beyond that? Nah. I hate football, don't even get me started. Watching it, hearing about it, enduring other people be really into it. Not a fan =\
13. height?
I smol. Well. I smol in height. I'm 5'3". The rest of my biological family is considered tall, or at least average height usually. My cousin, who is 5'5", was nicknamed the midget of the family. I'm shorter than her.
14. favorite subject?
Surprising no one, art and music. When I was in high school, I knocked all my required courses out of the way so I could spend my senior year taking every single art and music course I could fit in my schedule. It was a great year.
15. dream job?
I've always wanted to be able to make a living being an artist. It's difficult and I don't make much in commissions, but I just had a like.... quarter life crisis kinda? I quit my corporate job because I was so miserable, I couldn't even step foot in the building anymore. So now I'm going to save up so I can go to school for tattooing and do what I really want to do, rather than what I think I have to do.
Let's see, who to tag.... @voxxian @rollyjogerjones(although she hasn't been on tumblr for like a year) @izbizzle(same for him) and anyone else that wants to do it! @adi-dion I SAW YOUR LIKE YOU ARE TAGGED NOW YKNOW IF YOU WANNA

this one for daigo: castle, drive, roman holiday (aside from mine) and i walk the line
You're a darling <3
Castle - How well would you and your F/O handle being in the public eye? What kind of scrutiny would you be under?
Daigo isn't exactly a public figure per se, but he doesn't have the obscurity most people get to have. I don't handle crowds or attention very well. So if ever he has to be public for some reason, I either stay home, stay in the back, or he has a handful of people between me and everyone else, with at least one I'm close to, for comfort.
Scrutiny wise? Uhh. Our relationship beginnings and age gap is something a lot of people side eye haha. Nothing untoward happened at all, or is happening, but people will form their own opinions and don't typically care to listen when told otherwise.
Drive - Did you dive right in, or spend awhile dancing around each other? Was there any resistance on either side? Denial?
Ha. So. I've jokingly said we're a "slow burn someone got impatient with and threw lighter fluid on". We denied there was anything romantic between us for. Well technically about 3 months. Before that I don't think either of us even considered the option. Then we met in person and had that "oh. oh." moment and then both promptly smothered that as deeply as possible. But it was there. And when we (cough I cough) broke, we really just. Took off. We had years of building the emotional connection and getting to know each other so we were able to 'skip' a lot of that.
Roman Holiday - Was anyone against your relationship? Did you hide it from anyone?
On my end, a lot of my extended fam, and some of the nuclear, def had protests. Buuuut in the end, when it comes to me, Mama has always had final say in how the fam is/isn't allowed to respond. She had one question, and one warning. "Does he make you happy?" and "If he ever hits you, I'll kill him." After that, she basically said "it doesn't matter what I think, I know you, I was the same way, you're gonna do what you're gonna do and be with who you're gonna be with. The best thing I can do is support you no matter what happens." My bio father had more to say but. I've been ignoring his opnions since I was like 9 so. 🤷‍♀️
For Daigo, he didn't really actively go out of the way to hide it exactly, (except from his mother 😂). He just also very specifically didn't say anything, for quite awhile. This was more a safety concern, and because I have. Issues. With people lmao. And he wanted me to be able to settle in the big changes and feel comfortable and safe before springing the whole Tojo thing on me in a far more direct and personal way than it was before. I always knew, but now I was going to be involved and that is a whole other ballgame.
I Walk The Line - How far would you go for your F/O and vice versa? Is there a limit?
Oof this one. Gonna make me be honest. I have a hard time thinking of myself as a good person because morally... To use D&D terms I am very much "chaotic neutral". I kind of work in... Rings? Mind you when I say like "nuclear family" I don't mean the way most people use it. Its my chosen family. But I prioritize essentially, nuclear, then extended, everyone else, myself, then people I don't like. And while I never in a position to test it, in theory, there is very little I will not do to protect mine. I don't really do actively/aggressively malicious, but defensive? I can get downright cruel.
Daigo definitely has his principles and hardline 'nos' but he's also the sort that well. Look at where he came from, and the lengths he's gone to historically. He'll do what he thinks needs done, and doesn't really ever apoloize for it.

Smoked a joint with husband after a really good faith analysis of taycaptalism he sent moi and we both got to the bottom of joever. 3 hours discussing joever and we were both pulling up sociology books 😭😭😭
But like ok, (i poisoned the man and now he thinks joe is a bebe that cant do mistakes but w/e) they both did whatever people do when the relationship turns shit and you want out ofc, but put all that aside, this is the closest thing to civilian megxit.
royal famz like their miney too much to be happy just throwing dinners, shaking hands and getting gifts. They're there to be the perfect nuclear fam (with that one pedo uncle) and the more they speak, the more unpleasant and "off with their heads" the people get.
civilians bilionaires are different though. Taylor has no problem yielding her power in her industry (and good bc she changed some real stupid shit), but the girl was dry heaving to daddy over coming out as a Democrat. I love that woman but I could not marry into that.
Like, they were mostly living with a veneer of normalcy because fame aside, she's still outrageously rich and the only way to cope with that is through disassociation. If they married or whatever, I can't imagine opening any news paper and not dying inside a little for not doing anything? No wonder he was dragging his feet the second the rerecording project started lol girlie doesn't like saying how much she has on the bank after that for a REEEEASON - she knows how it comes across.
And I'm not saying it like he's a bleeding heart saint that should get a Nobel prize (mr. husband is close to saying that tho), but again, fame aside, people that are THIS RICH can only be really happy with someone also happy just being THIS RICH. The end of Notting Hill is her giving up her career to live quiet and pop out a bebe 😭.
Tayvis working out or not working out it's whatever, him or the next person, she can't be with someone that will pearl clutch or eye roll if she ever wants to drop 8 figures in some vapid pretty jewelry. And if joe goes for the next most popular person in the world again, it needs to be a paul newman type that actually loves that type of normalcy and will still drop 8 figures in a rare painting but hang it in their house in the middle of nowhere (and then raise kiddos that will donate it to charity when the time comes ofc)
And like, she can do all the important shit Elizabeth Taylor did in life too! COVERED IN DIAMONDS TOO! I dont get what she's so freaked out over having opinions and being poised all the time. Even in her current rebellious METAL era, she's such a complicated messy darling to me 😭😭😭
(Pls tumblr don't eat my ask, pls nat, I need your go off queen 👼 I'm in too deep)
my sister my queen ur still stoned af lol which I don’t judge but idk if I can meaningfully contribute to your thoughts. Just here to say you are valid lol and your relationship sounds awesome lmfao. Find u a person who’ll get stoned with u and discuss Joever and sociology 👸🏻 Queen shit.

LEONARDO
Gets EXTREMELY ANGRY when someone (other than donnie) calls him Nardo. it’s a twin thing. get over it.
on a same but slightly different note: leo never yells. like he “yells” when he’s excited or in the middle of the fight but he NEVER gets hot-angry. he only gets cold-angry and uses the extra energy it generates to just dig at the other person. like he starts digging a hole, hands them the shovel, says “get to it asshole” and they dig their own graves.
scarily persuasive. could coax nuclear codes out of a brainwashed, lizard being, warcrime committing government official and get away with it.
transmasc with a sprinkle of extremely gay. whenever i see someone go “leo is straight >>:[[[[[” i think “have they ever even?? watched rottmnt????” cause like other iterations? totally, yeah, mans straight as fuck (or transfem but we’re not here for that rn) THIS VERSION THO? have you seen the way he stands??
splinter doesn’t play favorites but if he did it would be leo because he reminds splinter the most of himself. which also gets him the title of least favorite, but that happens with everyone. splinter ain’t special.
is. terrifyingly good at reading body language. can tell you’re lying before you even lie. is part of the reason he’s so good at getting under peoples’ skin
toxic trait #1: intentionally pokes at insecurities!! like that scene in the movie where leo pretends to not be listening when raph is spilling his damn heart out?? THAT’S A COMMON OCCURANCE. he mostly does it when he’s frustrated with how little his family trusts him. major soft spot for him. so of course he lashes out, cause that’s how the Hamato family roll.
(minor tangent: the fact that so many 2012/rise crossovers focus on how dysfunctional the 2012 fam are while glorifying and praising the rise fam just like. completely ignore the negative traits, especially with raph and leo? like mikey too, but they completely disregard raph’s lack of trust in his brothers and leo’s shitty communication skills. i have more to say about this but i’ll do that in a different post)
to the people who write fics or draw comics or even just CLAIM that leo spend days/months in the prison dimension: first of all how dare you make me feel things second of all i can only justify this alternative telling of events if leo loses his right leg or his left arm. yes it has to be one of those two specifically, if you know you know.
toxic trait #2: is actually Just That Cocky. is it partially a defense mechanism? yup. does he actually think he is god? YUP.
not explicitly amoral but would do A Lot for the sake of his brothers. like Raph and Donnie take it further than Leo would, but people would die.
became the medic of the group because of his idolization of Raph. got his first medkit when he was around eight or nine, but starting researching when he was seven. raph Really Really wanted to help patch up his brothers but his “clumsy hands” couldn’t manage the precision work his dad could do, but because of Splinter’s terrible vision (it’s a rat thing) he struggled to do it on his own. hence Leo stepping in, because Donnie was usually the one getting hurt (and also hates the smell and look of blood) and Mikey was still like, really young.
is probably chaotic neutral? might be chaotic good. i struggle with alignments but i think it works.

There’s obviously a lot of chatter going on about Cruella and 101 Dalmatians and ooohhh my god errebody a lot of you don’t know the source material and I really. I really need to share a nut shelled version of the two novels (yes there’s TWO) because it’s absolutely wild from start to finish and it starts out innocent enough and then just escalates from there.  Copy pasting from my twitter thread cause as much as I love this roller coaster I don’t want to type it again HERE WE GO: To start in the original 101 Dalmatians novel, Mr. and Mrs. Dearly have that house because Mr. Dearly never has to pay taxes ever again and was gifted that house because he wiped out the government debt.  They also had two nannies - Nanny Cook and Nanny Butler. Pongo is still there, but the mother of his pups is a dalmatian named Missis.  Perdita is a dalmatian the family took in out of the rain as a 'wet nurse' to help feed the 15 puppies. Perdita apparently means lost. Cruella is also married to a furrier. Because of course.
  Perdita tells Pongo that she HAD puppies, by a dog named Prince, but her owner sold her puppies so she was out looking for them. After the puppies are stolen, and the Twilight bark reveals the location, Pongo and Missis TRY to tell the humans but fail cause they can't say S's.   Pongo and Missis go on the search for the puppies, and Perdita stays behind to watch the Dearly's. When they get to hell hall, there's 97 puppies and Cadpig is a runt and needs to be pulled along in a toy cart supplied by a 2 year old boy in order to escape. When the dogs get back to London, Cruella's PERSIAN CAT who wants revenge for the kittens Cruella drowned, lets them inside the house so the dogs can destroy Cruella's furs.  They return home and it turns out Perdita's puppies were the one's pulling Cadpig, Prince confirms! Since all the puppies were bought and paid for, and not stolen. No one is looking to get them back. Even Perdita's owner sells her to the Dearly's because fuck Perdita I guess smh. Cruella's cat is now HOMELESS because the destruction of the furs has forced Cruella to flee the country and put Hell Hall up for sale so the Dearly's adopt the cat as well. They then buy Hell Hall for their "Dalmatian Dynasty" with money earned by fixing another gov. debt.  They then adopt Prince because they see how much he still loves Perdita and Prince becomes dalmatian 101. TIME FOR BOOK 2. THE STARLIGHT BARKING. They're still living in Hell Hall and the Persian cats are married.  Cadpig now lives with the Prime Minister. Wholesome, right? Happy and cute what could the sequel to 101 Dalmatians possibly entail that's weirder than the first? MY FRIENDS. FAM. BUCKLE UP. The dogs awaken one morning to find out that not a single living thing aside from dogs can wake up. Doors, machines, etc all work on command and the dogs don't need to eat or drink or sleep.  Cadpig is now the acting PRIME MINISTER AND THE DOGS CAN COMMUNICATE VIA THOUGHT WAVES. They soon discover that they can 'swoosh' which is basically hovering over the ground at high speed. So, I mean, flying. They can basically fly. So Pongo and Missis SWOOSH to London with about 50 other dalmatians to meet with PRIME MINISTER CADPIG. But WAIT. Tommy, the kid from the first book, and the farm crew and the Persian cat from the first book are discovered to ALSO be awake because they were dubbed "honorary dogs" after helping the dalmatians in the first book. Because fuck the Dearly's I guess they're just PETS. The Persian cat thinks this is all Cruella's fault somehow so they pull together a team to go to Cruella's home to KILL HER. But she and her husband are both asleep like everyone else. She's now obsessed with metallic plastic and not furs. So they spare her life.  And then! A mysterious voice comes onto the t.v, alerting all dogs that they must all gather tonight by midnight under starlight. The Twilight bark and the TELEPATHY ensures all dogs get this message. Because of course. *INHALES BECAUSE NEXT PART IS A DOOZY.* All the dogs, including the honorary ones are gathered and waiting. Then! At Midnight! Euphoria! The terror! ....... As Sirius, the Lord of the Dog star appears and announces that he's lonely, and he wants to take all the dogs off Earth so they can avoid the future Nuclear War. But the dogs have to come willingly and in the morning he promises that the world will forget dogs every existed so they're not missed. Pongo is tasked with deciding the fate OF EVERY DOG ON EARTH.  Some stray dogs convince Pongo to say no to Sirius, because the decision to go would be unfair to any dog on Earth who is still hoping to find a loving family on Earth.  So Pongo says no, and Siris proud that the dogs are staying so loyal despite the promise of eternal bliss. Sirius lets all the dogs SWOOSH back home and of course they deduce he appeared everywhere in the world at once because he's a star and not bound by. Physics or something. Pongo gives one last message to Sirius saying dogs may leave one day, but for now they like being on Earth. Also in the second book. Lucky has a wife named Gay and they're secretaries to a poodle.  Patch refuses to marry because he doesn't want to pass down his eye spot.  Roly Poly teaches George, a boxer, how to swim and they bond over magical adventures in Paris. I PROMISE YOU nothing Disney makes with 101 Dalmatians can top the source material and honestly they’re cowards for not doing a perfect adaptation or the second book. (Apparently Disney wanted to do more things based on that author’s work when he was alive  and I’m sure he would have had he not died in 1966 since Starlight Barking came out in 1967. Just think, there’s probably a timeline where Starlight Barking is the first Disney animated sequel instead of Rescuers Down Under.)

I’m done keeping my composure.
Sorry, this will be a LOADED post! (And I’ll be repeating the points others have made)
for real, to everyone being nasty and telling heartbroken fans that “Dean was always supposed to die get a grip you’re just butthurt etcetera etcetera—” F you royally.
How dare you police the brutal feelings that’s been embroiling us since the Finale That Must Not Be Named aired. 
The show you think you all watched, the show you all believe was the same SPN from Season 1-4, changed at some point. Kripke wrote his original vision, put it to screen, saw it through in S5 as he intended, and closed the door on that era.
In 2008, Supernatural was adopted and inherited. As you know, there was a supreme paradigm shift post-Kripke era. The show FLOURISHED (we won’t talk about Gamble thanks). It evolved, transformed, grew beyond trauma-induced self-worthlessness and toxic masculinity and endless death and hegemonic social ideals and conservatism and repressive anti-revolutionary ideas. Castiel, the iconic favourite and beloved staple of the series portrayed by Misha Collins, was introduced in Season 4 as the core lead character, and he ushered in a brand new era of Christian mythos that SPN took advantage of. Longevity SKYROCKETED. Audiences were INTERESTED. SPN amassed an incredibly groundbreaking fanbase infused by non-nuclear principles. A massive subversive wave began, fighting the Status Quo of the times since 2008. It’s precisely why such an abysmal ending to a show of extensive Freud-Jungian metanarratively meta META complex stature and social POWER will render us totally and unbearably broken for years to come.
Point is, DEAN WINCHESTER NO LONGER WANTED TO DIE. HE WANTED TO LIVE. HE WANTED TO SIT ON THE BEACH, PLUNGE HIS TOES IN THE SAND, AND SIP UMBRELLA DRINKS WITH HIS BROTHER AND HIS BEST FRIEND. He said this in Season 13. And then, a season later, he told the ghost of his long-deceased father — the source of his deep-running trauma and the figure of self-reductive authoritarianism permeating his arc since Season 1 — after being questioned why he didn’t pursue the Nuclear Fam, that he already has his own: his brother Sam, his adopted child Jack, and Cas.
Dean’s best friend Cas. Oh god, Cas, who made his inevitably permanent mark on Dean’s soul beyond allyship. Castiel, renamed to Cas, God’s -iel removed by Dean. Dean, the human spark that lit the fire of pre-existing autonomy in the inherently rebellious angel who was, this entire time, the catalyst for free will in God The Writer’s puppet show. Their friendship set on goddamn fire. I can also write paragraph upon paragraph about my love for Cas while devastated tears stream down my face, but I digress—
Cas’ romantic love for Dean pushed our main Heart of SPN to love himself. Love is free will. Free will is also love. Of note, Cas’ love confession in 15x18 was supposed to offset something so vastly important and fundamental...to maybe (read: most likely) pull the trigger on SELF-TRUTHS in conjunction with free will. And The Great Anticipated Follow-Up to the episode penned by the passionate Berens should have included (read: seemed like it was going to be) Dean, closeted trauma survivor in love with his best friend, being given the opportunity to do it right: to SPEAK HIS TRUTH, and then that very singular opportunity was STOLEN so grossly. After poring over it for days, I refuse to believe we made their years-long story up out of thin air, spun it out of fantastical-delusional dream cotton candy, because we DIDN’T. IT WAS REAL.
As I said in another post: “I’ve just been feeling physically ill for the past >40 something hours with the terrible knowledge that 19/20 undid years of vital progression towards healthy interdependence, autonomy, and a positive endgame, where Sam, Dean and Cas close the ring of found family in final empowering self-fulfillment...where Dean, no longer repressed and set free, is able to use his words and speak his truth as a queercoded trauma survivor, henceforth confirming and self-affirming his own bisexuality since S1 by reciprocating — by telling Cas that he always loved him, too, loved him endlessly, which would have altogether divested Supernatural of its cult status and catapulted it into global worldwide significance as the longest running sci-fi genre show in American broadcasting history that actually dared to defy and, by proxy, empower LGBTQ2IA+ everywhere who found profound personal meaning in Destiel through VALIDATION,” — found themselves mirrored in Dean and Cas’ respective character journeys individually and as each other’s queer love interests.
THIS IS WHY DEAN WASN’T MEANT TO DIE.
THEY WERE SO ESSENTIAL, NOT JUST TO THE OVERARCHING STORY AND HEALTHY INTERPERSONAL THEMATICS OF MODERN SPN, BUT ALSO TO THE SOULS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE WORLD WHO FOLLOWED THEIR JOURNEYS, HOPED FOR THEM, ASPIRED TO BE LIKE THEM, TREASURED THEM, WEEPED FOR THEM, AND FOUGHT FOR THEM, LIKE YOU AND ME.
Heck, how could anyone think Sam Winchester had a well-deserved characteristic ending? He didn’t. Dean’s brother was shafted so badly. He stopped hunting when seasons ago, he had canonically accepted that he no longer wanted an apple pie life. He simply...turned the lights off in a resoundingly empty bunker and left — abandoning his dead brother’s room — never to return (he did return later to get the Impala, family photos etc, I mean this symbolically)...as if — dare I say it — Supernatural itself eerily told us, in the negative-spaced pitch blackness, that the organic show and the wonderfully complex, matured characters we’ve grown to love weren’t going to survive or be revisited...that it was all going to perish, and that they no longer gave a single shit about their own show, which, to me, is the worst cardinal sin, because how dare they throw Team Free Will, an immovable and indomitable and passionate found family they built from the ground up, a found family CHOCK FULL TO THE BRIM OF LOVE AND LIFE RAGING AGAINST THE AUTHORITARIAN MACHINE IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE FREE WILL, under the bus no matter who is to blame. Growth was stomped on.
Then Sam married a faceless wife who wasn’t his textually established (and deaf) love interest Eileen, named his son Dean Jr., and grew old miserably, still mourning the passing of his older brother, shaken and sombre. Back to square one. IT WAS ALL ANTITHETICAL, even OUTSIDE a shipping context, and I ripped my hair out at this point in sheer disbelief.
This 15x20 ending would have fit somewhere between S4-7. Now? IT DOESN’T FIT. IT’S A JAGGED PUZZLE PIECE THAT DOESN’T BELONG ANYWHERE. IT’S THE FOREBODING UNKNOWN STRANGER IN ITS OWN LAND, BOTH LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY. This kind of ending was basically an illogical, unsound cluster of metastasized cells that, to me, ruined the viability of previous seasons to sustain bold praise and respect and dignity and rewatches and classic nostalgia in such insidious ways.
Dean Humanity Winchester and Cas, after everything they’ve been through, were silenced and lost in death, ripped apart from each other, unable to love each other the way they deserved, because of disappointing, vile incompetency and homophobia. The greatest love story ever told, again obliterated in less than 60 hollow minutes.
You know what this tells your audience, CW SPN? Death without self-growth is the way to go, and no one is allowed to forge their own path to freedom.
HOW INSULTINGLY HARMFUL IS THAT?

I don’t think I’ll ever stop grieving.

I just started watching FAM thanks to you and I’m obsessed with Margo and Sergei. I need help!! I haven’t been this obsessed with a fictional couple in a very long time. Do you think we’re getting another kiss scene this season? Will they go beyond that?
🥺👉🏻👈🏻 thanks to me??? woah anon, this means a lot, considering that i don't post much FAM content here. i'm beyond happy that my girlblogging convinced you to watch something so underrated <3 my predictions are kinda bleak unfortunately. a few weeks ago i saw a tweet that mentioned that one of the writers said in some podcast, that their story won't have a happy ending, and honestly i have the same feeling after s3 ep5. at first i wasn't even sure if sergei is gonna make another appearance after ep3 bfhjdnk and i'm glad i was wrong! there might be another kiss and all that (maybe even a brief period of happiness), and i hope margo will succeed in bringing sergei's family to the states. my main concern is his health because you can see he clearly isn't doing too well after he was tortured :/ aaand it looks to me that they might kill him off at the end of the season, which i really don't want to happen 😭 it will surely break margo's heart (and ours), and i can see her quitting nasa at the end after aleida finds out that she forwarded nasa's nuclear engine design to the russians. in a perfect world though, i need sergei to heal and for him and margo to live happily ever after! <333
