#for like a solid minute ToT

[vixen-flame]

When you think "it's that time of the month again" means she's on her period, but actually its just her monthly identity crisis from being an undiagnosed minor OSDD system

[spooky-bunnys]

Imma just leave this request cause I think it’s silly and cute but that is if you want to it’s your choice

So izana call for tenjiku for a meeting cause he has to announce something or well more like kakucho and they both announce that they need someone to watch over izana baby brother (name) and the reason they can’t is because they are both sick and shion sees this as an opportunity to get on izana best side (cause it’s canon that shion has respects for izana) and immediately volunteers to babysit (name) even thought shion has no clue on how to take care of children

I can imagine that shion struggles a lot with making sure (name) is happy, clean, and fed and maybe when it comes to feeding (name) instead of normal baby food shion is feeding (name) a cheeseburger and other solid foods and surprisingly (name) is eating the solid foods

And due to izana and kakucho not being able to relax cause they fear what shion is doing they secretly send the rest of tenjiku to keep on eye on shion and this is how it would go

Shion: *holding (name) and feeding him a cheeseburger* oh hey guys what’s up?

Ram: why are you feeding (name) a cheeseburger

Shion: cause (name) likes them right (name)

(Name): *nods*

And maybe when izana and kakucho fully recovered from their cold they immediately rush to shion apartment and they see shion sleeping on the couch while (name) is sleeping so peacefully on top of him and when they both wake up and izana picks up (name) and start to leave (name) says his first words which were uncle shion while waving goodbye

Okay I had to get a small bit of help with this one. Since I don't know much about writing for children but it was still a lot of fun. Enjoy!

When the upper members of Tenjiku got the call about their being an emergency meeting, they were confused. They didn't remember a recent gang trying anything. But when they saw Izana and Kakucho wearing masked, and little (Name) walking behind them. They had a feeling they knew what this meeting was about.

"I'm just gonna cut to the chase. Kakucho and I have pretty bad colds. So we need someone to look after (Name)."

The little white hair toddler just hid behind his older brother. Shy. The others shared some looks. When the Haitani brothers were about to agree, Shion beat them to the punch.

"I'll watch him for you." Everyone turned to the him. Confused. Why would he volunteer to watch (Name)?

"If it's for Izana I'll do whatever I can to help." Ah. There it is. His loyalty to their leader is clouding his thought. Izana though just nodded and lightly pushed (Name) in Shion's direction.

The toddler stared at his brothers before slowly walking up to Shion. They stared at each other for a few moments until Shion picked him up. The others flinched as Shion carried (Name) like a briefcase.

Izana immediately looked at the others. Coughing a little and pointed after the leaving figures. "Watch them. If anything happens to (Name). You'll be sorry."

As Shion made his way into his apartment he carefully placed (Name) on the couch. "Now. What to do with you....do you like video games?"

(Name) just stared. Shion shook his head. "Okay no video games. How about....Oh! A new horror movie just came out do you want to watch it?"

That was his mistake on the first day. Was having (Name) watch a horror movie. Poor thing didn't last the first 20 minutes before getting scared so badly he wet himself.

Shion was lucky Mochi was "in the neighborhood" and decided to check in on them. After the lecture and scolding Mochi gave him Shion decided against watching anymore scary movies.

His mistake the second day was food and bathing. Since Shion had given (Name) miso soup he had the night before. Shion didn't really have anything he could feed him. He also didn't know what the tot could eat.

Thats how the Haitani brothers "accidentally" found them at the fast food joint by Shion's place. The brother didn't know how to feel when they saw a dirty (Name) being feed a cheeseburger. Ran thought he was gonna faint.

When Shion saw the brothers he placed down the cheeseburger, andwaved at them. "Hey guys. What's going on?" When they came over Shion went back to feeding (Name). "Shion...why are you feeding (Name) a cheeseburger?" Ran asked with an indifferent look.

Shion shrugged. "Because he likes them. Isn't that right bud?" (Name) looked up, mouth full of cheeseburger and nodded. Rindou cringed. "Then why is he so filthy?" Shion scratchedthe back of his head.

"Well we came from the park. I didn't know what kids liked to do, so I just took him to the park." Rindou pinched the bridge of his nose, under his glasses and sighed. "Well he needs a bath. Pronto." Shion nodded and finished feeding (Name) the burger.

Shion did bathe (Name) when they got home. But he just took a shower and brought the tot with him honestly. Shion was dirty too, so he thought why not kill two birds with one stone.

That was their routine for the next few days. Shion would feed him and (Name) whatever food he had. Then they'd either watch TV or go to the park. Later Shion would wash them both and feed them again. (Name) wasn't going to lie. He was having a lot of fun with his new Uncle.

So when at the end of the week, Izana ad Kakucho came to get (Name) he was kinda sad. He had fun with Uncle Shion. Especially since he would let (Name) eat whatever he wanted, and would take him to the park when he asked.

As his brother picked him up, after thanking the other male for looking after him. (Name) wanted to do something before they left.

"B-Bye! Uncwe Shi!"

Shion's face had lit up so fast. Izana and Kakucho just stared at the waving toddler. "Did he just?" Izana glared heavily at Shion. Then stomped out of the room. Kakucho sighed and followed after them. Great. Now the older male was gonna throw a tantrum.

✦ synopsis: in which you have the hots for your cousin's best friend

⟡ content warnings: fluff, not proofread at all, noah's cousin!reader, accidentally less about ben than anyone else lolololol

✦ word count: 1482

"Oh, come on, Noah, just do me a solid," you beg. 

You're both up in his treehouse. He's standing in front of his blackboard analyzing, erasing, rewriting . . . You're sat in his desk chair, spinning it around until it makes you motion sick and you have to stop for a moment before starting up again. 

He sighs, looking at you over his shoulder. "I don't know, Y/N . . . You know he went out with Ellie Evans the other night? He's kind of into her."

You make face, bringing the chair to a stop to stare at him. "Ellie Evans? Haven't you been in love with her since, like, ever?"

A hint of a blush crawls up his neck to his face. "Yeah, but she seems to like Ben, so . . ." He shrugs. 

"You mean he actually built up the courage to talk to her and you didn't?" He casts you a glare before turning back to his blackboard and you laugh. You slump back in his chair. "Did he go out with her, like, on a date? Or did he go out with her, like, hanging out?"

"Hanging out."

You perk up. "So they're not dating?"

Noah sighs heavily, dreading how you're about to react. "No, they're not," he says slowly. 

You smile. "So he's fair game?"

"Y/N, you don't even know him. You only talk to him, like, twice when you come out for the summer," he points out. 

You're Noah's cousin. Every summer you and your mom come out to The Vineyard and stay with your aunt and Noah in her BNB. You've had limited interactions with Noah's friend Ben Driskel, mostly at their baseball games or when he comes over to hang out with Noah and you share pleasantries. Last week you even had a full 10 minute long conversation in the living room while he was waiting for Noah, who had gotten stuck helping his mom out in the BNB. 

He's really cute and you've always had a thing for him, you've just never had a reason to hang out with him. 

Until now. If Noah will give in to your pestering and set you two up.

"Well, I want tot get to know him," you argue. "You don't even have to get me alone with him. Take me out with you two or something."

Noah lets out another heavy sigh, not looking at you as he scribbles across his blackboard. "You understand that if I do this, that's not a guarantee that he'll like you back, right?"

You're giddy now. Practically buzzing in your seat. "Yup. I understand that."

"Then fine. I'll do it. I'll figure something out. Tonight."

You squeal, jumping out of the seat and tackling him into a hug. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" 

He rolls his eyes affectionately. "Yeah, whatever. Get off me, crazy woman."

You give him one last grateful squeeze before letting go.

★

The fact that this is your best swimsuit does nothing to ease your nerves. You've never felt so self-conscious in a two-piece in your life. And it doesn't help that you've been sitting on your beach towel watching Ben mess around with Eugene by the water all evening instead of, you know, talking to him. 

Noah sits next to you, nudging your shoulder with his. "Don't tell me you did all that just to sit here and not talk to him?"

You suck your teeth. "I'm just . . . waiting. For the right time."

He snorts. "You're never gonna talk to him."

"Am too! But if I do it too early I'll seem eager."

"You are eager." You slap him so hard over the shoulder it makes a smacking sound. "Ow!" he exclaims, rubbing at his reddening skin.

Sammy walks over to the two of you and sits across from you. "Why are we picking on Noah? I wanna join in," she teases.

Noah narrows his eyes at her. "Y/N has a thing for Ben but is too scared to talk to him."

Great, get more people involved. 

"Noah!" you whine, and he flinches way instinctively before you have a chance to hit him again. He laughs.

"Don't feel bad!" Sammy says. "You have a chance, you know. You can talk to him."

Noah snaps his head around to her, deadpanned. "What do you mean?"

"Well . . ."

"Is Ben into her?" Sammy shrugs, but the look on her face says yes. You feel your heartrate pick up. "Why didn't he tell me?"

She gives him a seriously? look. "You think he's going to tell you he has the hots for your cousin?"

"I—well . . . ," Noah splutters. 

Sammy turns back to you. "Talk to him!" she urges, shaking your knees. 

You gulp, making a face. "I don't know . . ."

"Trust me." She stands up and forces a sulking Noah up with her. "Ben!" she calls, then winks at you. You whimper. 

Ben emerges from the shadows, running over in nothing but swimming trunks.

Jesus. Fucking. Christ. 

"What's up?" he asks, putting his hands on his hips as he stands in front of Sammy. 

"Where's Eugene?" she asks. 

"Wandering off into No Man's Land."

She smirks. "Perfect. Stay here and keep Y/N company. We're gonna go mess with him. Noah—" She yanks Noah by the arm and drags him off into No Man's Land after Eugene, leaving you and Ben alone.

You get all shy all of a sudden, the way you always get around him. You curl your knees up to your chest and drop your gaze to the sand. 

He stands above you and you can his feet as he gets closer to you. He kicks at your ankle. A smile curls your lips. 

"You're quiet," he says, sitting next to you. "According to Noah, you're always talking his ear off." You let out a little chuckle, shrugging. He reaches out and flicks your nose, making you look at him. "What's wrong?"

You scrunch your face up when he flicks your nose, then shake your head. "Nothing."

"Is it me?"

Your eyes widen in panic. "What? No! No, no, not at all!" you exclaim. 

He laughs. "Then what's up with you? You talk to everybody else but me?"

Your mouth falls open. "I talk to you."

"Not tonight! You've been talking to everybody else all night but you freeze up and go all quiet when it's me."

You were hoping no one would notice.

"Well, I—" you stutter. 

Then he's up on his feet with no word of warning and pulling on your hands. "Let's go."

"Where are we going?"

"Swimming, since you obviously don't wanna talk to me." He tugs on your hands again and rolls his eyes. "Oh, come on. We're at the beach!"

You sigh, feeling your face heat up as you follow him up. You play along, acting resistant and digging your feet into the sand as he keeps chuckling and pulling you along until you reach the shore, his face brightened with that pretty smile of his. 

He yanks you into the water until you're chest-deep. He lets go of your hands and dives into the water, disappearing. You laugh as water splashes you from his dive, then squeal when he grabs your ankles underwater and pulls, making you lose your footing and fall in with him.

You resurface, breathless, giggling. Even more so when he resurfaces himself, ending up right in front of you, and shakes water out of his hair like a dog.

"You gonna talk to me now?" he teases. 

You scoff, push at his shoulder. "I've been talking to you!" you exclaim, chuckling.

"Barely." He grasps your elbows and tugs you closer until you're almost flush chest-to-chest. "You're a pretty cool girl, Y/N," he says. 

Everything gets serious all of a sudden. It's like all the air has been sucked out of your lungs and all you're left with are his deep brown eyes staring into yours. 

What the fuck is happening?

Whatever this moment is, whatever's going on, it ends when Noah starts calling you two from land. You groan and the both of you swim to shore. 

"It's getting late," Noah explains as you two walk onto sand. "Eugene's mom already came to pick him up. Your mom will probably come to pick us up soon."

"How late is it?" you ask, picking up your towel and wrapping it around yourself as Ben dries himself off and puts his t-shirt on.

Noah checks his watch. "10:52."

Ben whistles and rolls his towel up, stuffing it in his bag; he shrugs it on. "I'm biking home. Later, guys." He slips his feet into his sneakers and looks right at you. "See you around, Y/N." He gives you a little wave over his shoulder as he walks away. 

You could very well pass out.

You squeal a little, leaning against Noah's shoulder as your knees turn to Jell-O.

A solid 30% of the reason I drive 40 minutes to my primary care doctor is because they have a Taco John's (it's like Taco Bell but somehow dramatically whiter. Like, tater tots with your combo and chicken tenders on the menu white. It's a taco restaurant based out of Wyoming)

They had opened a bunch of locations in my city, but people (understandably) did not like their bland food so they have all closed. I thought this rural-ass town my doctor is in would be safe.

I'm sitting here in the doctor's office DEVASTATED because when I drove by I saw that their Taco John's is closed, too

I'm gonna have to go to KENTUCKY for potato olés now 🥲

[infernothechaosgod]

Reject "mickey is always good and has never commided any crime ever and would never hang around shady people bc he's an angel"

Embrace "mickey randomly pulls the most wild thing ever and knows lots of "shady" ppl and anytime someone mentions them or hardly describes them he's like

For solid 5 minutes because "Jesus what did they do this time" "

My dude was a part of a whole operation where he replaced the king in another country once He knows them people ToT

I do think he would try to me mostly moraly good But that doesnt mean lawfuly good, also tbh I do dig the good old 1920's rule of "sometimes will do bad for the funny/enjoyment"

[actualbird]

This is really stupid, but during the part where we find his mom’s letters, there’s a line that’s translated as “so it ain't too difficult to read them” and I find the fact that they used “ain’t” instead of “isn’t” incredibly funny. It caught me off guard and I laughed for a solid minute before I could continue, lmao.

// spoilers for tot main story 9

LMAO IT CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD TOO. an "aint" also happened in luke's dialog in the correctional facility when he was intimidating those bullies all dead-eyed raven mode scary and i was like.....wha? KJHAVFJHASVKFJAKSJA

like....it's not grammatically INcorrect, but it's definitely an Interesting Choice, Given The Rest Of The Tone

does is luke pearce become american when in raven mode???????? i think thatd be the scariest thing about him if that were true. jHVAKJFAJKSF

[manofmanymons]

Shuuji x ryo ideas? I need more shuuji x ryo stuff and i cant tak it anymore im dying. Im going to draw some of the ideas, sorry to bother with another ask (or takuma x kaito but please shuuji x ryo i cant take the small amount of conten on it) sorry to bother you again i also just like asking stuff

I like to think that Ryo and Shuuji are each other's main confidants (other than Kunemon and Lopmon ofc) bc they seemed pretty close in Truthful, and like Shuuji specifically I don't think would be comfortable sharing his more negative feelings with anyone younger

And y'know when someone shares a lot about their life with you, you tend to do the same back

I digress

Imagine for a sec that like Ryo is sick of Shuuji always being afraid to go for what he wants bc, even though he's trying not to, he still really cares what his dad and brother think so he keeps overthinking things and letting opportunities (as in the fun kind, not the academic kind) pass him by

So like one day they’re hanging out and Ryo is like I am not leaving until you do ONE thing you've been wanting to do but keep chickening out of and Shuuji is like fine and just

Asks him out ksjskd

A very awkward, quickly spoken "inthatcasewillyougooutwithme"

Ryo.exe stops working for a solid minute trying to process what just happened and is eventually like "that's not really what I meant...but yes"

Saki and Takuma would 100% plan their first date for them I feel this in my bones

They're both dorks who have never been on a date in their lives and do not know what is romantic, they need help

Normally they'd ask each other for advice about things, but now that's off the table, so they need help from someone else, and those two are the most qualified

I think they'd have an Awkward Phase™️ where they aren't sure how to act as a couple instead of as friends but like it would not last long at all

Within a week they're back to late night conversations about nothing and being each other's confidants and it's like "oh this isn't very different from friendship at all"

Conversely I don't think Takuma and Kaito would have an awkward phase at all tbh I think whatever the hell Kaito's got goin on in-game is as awkward as it gets lmao

They would have more of an annoying phase

By they I mean Takuma and by annoying phase I mean "won't shut up about his boyfriend"

...Imagine Lopmon tryna give Ryo the shovel talk but being visibly scared the entire time and Ryo is 1/2 offended 1/2 amused ToT

(Kunemons kews defensively)

[beantothemax]

Armina and Ismenia screamed and laughed as they chased each other down the cobbled streets of Stonegard. Their mother had gone to visit an old colleague and their father was getting rooms at an inn. No one was there to watch them.

“Woah! An abandoned house!” 

Ismenia’s gaze followed Armina’s finger, witnessing the foreboding building.

“It’s so big!” (that’s what she said)

Armina dragged Ismenia by the wrist. “Let’s look inside!”

Ismenia blinked. “Won’t Papa be mad?”

“Papa doesn’t have to know, come on!”

The doors creaked open. Armina sprinted in -

“LOOK OUT!”

A stone was kicked down a hole, 15 feet, maybe deeper? Armina herself was dangling over the hole, with only Olberic’s hand keeping her aloft.

The man himself was fuming. “I leave you alone for 5 minutes, and you go and almost get yourselves killed!”

As soon as Armina’s feet were back on solid ground, she nearly collapsed.

“Alephan have mercy, I almost pissed myself-“

“Mom, you look really pale, is everything alright?” Ismenia, ever the observant one.

Cyrus chuckled, despite the blood having drained out of his face. “Never better, darling.”

Blood…

Cyrus’ fingers ghosted across his side where Lucia’s dagger had struck 5 years ago.

“I’m getting too old for this shit.”

!!!!!! LOLA THIS

armima and ismenia almost falling into the same hole that Cyrus was stuck in during their chapter 3… falling into pits simply runs in the albright blood I guess.

ALSO WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT LUCIA’S DAGGER??? THAT SOUNDS BAD

god again sorry for taking so long to get tot this but this is really good!!!! I like it!!!!!

[digitalmidnight]

Okay hold up I want to clarify some things as someone who has way too much Tom and Jerry facts memorized

1. "Blue Cat Blues (1956)" [Sad one where it ends with them on the railroad] was NOT the last episode of Tom and Jerry. Hell it wasn't even the last one in it's era.

Okay so the fact Tom and Jerry still has many new episodes after 1956 already means it isn't the last episode of Tom and Jerry. But, if you want to be specific, it's part of the 1st Hanna-Barbera era which lasted from 1940-1958. Notice how it continues for 2 years past the date this episode aired.

The last episode of that era was Tot Watchers. Where Tom and Jerry work together to keep a baby safe. There is 11 episodes between "Blue Cat Blues" and "Tot Watchers", one of which is "Timid Tabby", the episode that introduced Tom's Cousin George.

2. Tom and Jerry do NOT just pretend to hate one another so Tom does not get kicked out of the house.

This one is true in certain shorts. Most obviously in "Old Rockin' Chair Tom" (1948) where Tom and Jerry team up against Lightning.

BUT at the same time, it's obviously not true for all the shorts. For instance any time Tom and Jerry don't take place in a home or times where there isn't even a human shown. Like "Kitty Foiled" (1948) where we start with a Tom and Jerry chase despite no humans being shown.

Or in "Solid Sernade"(1946) where Tom is ruining Jerry's sleep by singing to Toodles.

They do work together sometimes but the vast majority of the chases are due to them wanting to chase each other, or one of them annoying the other. Tom's owners only sometimes are the driving force behind Tom trying to attack Jerry. (Also in the shorts where Tom's owners do tell him to get Jerry... he usually isn't only pretending to get Jerry. He's actively trying to eliminate him)

3. Jerry ISN'T the thing Tom hates most in the world

He's just not (or at least...not often). I know I said earlier they just love to attack one another, but they do also save one another often. At the least, they do team up against common enemies, suggesting they often find one another as the lesser of two evils, and therefore they hate their common enemy more than each other.

In a few episodes, such as "Mouse into Space" (1962), or the Tom and Jerry show (2014) episode "I quit", Tom is shown to go into a depression without Jerry.

Again, this is of course, case dependent. Tom does hate Jerry in some shorts (the very early ones, usually). Then again there's many times where they explicitly don't hate each other.

The Tom and Jerry show (1975) [2nd Hanna-Barbera era] has Tom and Jerry be friends throughout.

The Tom and Jerry show (2014) has a scenario where the two are Detectives who work together and are shown to be fairly close friends.

To conclude

It depends on the short. Nothing and everything is canon. Except the whole "ThE lAsT EpIsOdE oF ToM aNd JeRrY" thing. That's just false and easily proved fake by a quick search.

[ofcorstustolemyusername]

Omgggggg I'm in Zhongli/Kokomi rot.

Like imagine kokomi already knew of Zhongli being an archon, and Zhonglis starts getting comfortable around Kokomi with showing his hands.

From his hands to his shoulds is just black/brown coloring with golden geo markings.

Imagine them sitting together for tea and Zhongli taking his gloves off because he feels safe enough around Kokomi to do so ToT

Zhongli sitting there with glowing geo marked hands, unaware of the morbid curiosity that Kokomi was practically swimming in. Her eyes flickering down to the beautiful geo markings dancing across his palms and knuckles. She hadn't realized how long she had been staring until a low chuckle came from the very one she was admiring.

"My priestess...You're staring.."

His tone was a light tease, and it threw Kokomi off guard. She set her teacup down and flushed red, covering the bottom half of her face with her hands to hide her embarrassment.

"A-....Apologies. I was just curious of the markings on your hands.."

Kokomi carefully explained, worried of Zhongli pitting his gloves back on in spite. But she was pleasantly surprised when he gave a small smile and nodded.

"These markings I have don't just rest on my hands, they travel up to my shoulders..Should I so choose too, they can reach down my back. Though I have enough control of this mortal form to limit the spread to my arms.."

Kokomi listened intently to Zhonglis explanation. nodding as she set down her cup she had been taking a small sip from. She looked abit timidly to her companion, and asked with a slight bit of hesitancy.

"Would I be permitted to seeing these markings?"

"Yes..Yes you would.."

---------------------------------------------------------

Zhongli, who was taking his jacket and shirt off. Not minding the stares he got from Kokomi in the process. To him, this wasn't intimate or embarrassing. Hell, his statue has his chest on full display.

Zhongli motioned for Kokomi to walk over to him, and she sat beside him. He held out one of his glowing arms to her to examine, and she carefully touched it. Her hands at first remaining in one area, before exploring up and down the tough skin. Her thumb tracing over the long lines of pure geo energy just barely reaching the surface.

It was akin to touching a rock, that is if the rock was ticklish and let out an amused chuckle everytime you ran a thumb upwards on his inner arm.

Kokomi was utterly fascinated, and would take times to pause and write down her findings in a tiny notebook she carried on her everyday. Sketching out his arm designs, the way they glow, anything she can note down is written on the paper. Eventually, she starts trailing to his back. Her hands gently running down the smooth surface as if studying a mysterious wall.

In reality, it was her companions back. But it certainly did feel like a wall. So much so that she even knocked on it with an impulsive thought. Which caused her companion to let out a small laugh just before he spoke.

"Are you knocking on my back?" He questioned.

"Maybe...it's as solid as stone. I didn't know you could feel it.." She mumbled embarrassingly.

Zhongli could only chuckle and shake his head, before his hands reached back and a motion for Kokomi to grab his hands. When she did, her hands were carefully lead to the front of his body and tenderly wrapped around his torso. A hug from behind.

The two just sat there for a moment, the two no-so-human companions just basking in eachothers presence for a minute or so. Until the silence was filled with their laughter and stories once again.

[wolfriver777]

Omfg okay I'm reading this fic right? It's pretty solid so far. But, every other word that ends with "ing" has like an autocorrect typo or smth like "saWei Ying" instead of "saying" like it's a solid enough fic so far but this mistake is so common I honestly can't take the fic seriously? Like it took me a minute to figure out the correction but lord how could you let this slide so frequently? The chapters are long but still ToT, surely someone's commented about it? I'll have to read the comments and update yall

The First to Die at the End / Adam Silvera

Het is 10 jaar voor de gebeurtenissen in They Both Die at the End en het is de avond dat Death Cast wordt gelanceerd. Hoe het werkt is strikt geheim en de meningen zijn verdeeld: er zijn mensen die meteen een abonnement hebben genomen, mensen die de kat uit de boom kijken, en mensen die er het ergste van verwachten, tot en met het einde van de wereld aan toe. Orion heeft zich aangemeld; hij heeft een aangeboren hartafwijking, en ziet in Death Cast een bevrijding van de dagelijkse angst dat zijn hart het zal begeven. Valentino is net in New York gearriveerd om een carriere als model na te streven. Hij ontmoet Orion bij het grote startevenement op Times Square en besluit zich ook aan te melden. Ze vinden elkaar meteen leuk. Maar zodra Death Cast begint, rinkelt ��én van hun telefoons met de speciale beltoon…

"You said that if someone you hold in your heart dies, then you die too. I love my parents so damn much, every time I got to talk about them in the past tense like they're nothing but ghosts instead of the living, breathing, solid people they were, it breaks me." We're minutes from midnight. "Here's the truth no one ever wants to admit when death is on the horizon, or when you're deep in that grief -- as long as you keep existing, you'll keep breathing, and if you're breathing, one day you'll start living again." I know it is stupid, but I swear I can see in his eyes that he gets me, that he's burning those words into memory for that tragic day he loses someone, that he's really taking it to heart. "But no matter how much you're living, Valentino, it's still going to be haunting if you don't get the chance to say goodbye to someone you love. Especially if given the chance." Valentino looks at the hourglass. "I should sign up before it's too late."

Net als het vorige boek balanceert het verhaal delicaat tussen het onvermijdelijke einde van één van de hoofdpersonen en het optimisme van alles wat ze die laatste dag nog meemaken. Pas helemaal op het einde begin je een idee te krijgen van de manier waarop het einde zal komen. In de loop van het verhaal worden personages uit het vorige boek er op een slimme manier ook nog in verweven.

Day 120: Sunday April 30, 2023 - “Go Katz!”

A staple of a solid weekend routine is our Sunday morning visit to WildKatz where today we were greeted with a mascot that we’ve never seen before and a free admission on account of their internet being down and unable to take payments!  For 75 minutes (we were there right at opening!) we got to explore around together, riding the big slide, and several different cars including pretending to ride the rocket to the moon, and finally some time in the Little Lemurs area where he’d practice sharing with others, socializing, and showing off his driving skills to the other toddlers enjoying tot time.  Coming here is always less about the play and more about the skill building.  The different motor skills from navigating a very interesting environment, and the people skills of navigating several very interesting characters.  The play is always the side hustle here.

This place helped me hone my skills too.  I listen to myself coach, affirm, cheer, suggest, comfort - engaged in a way that I don’t see from many other parents.  This is something that we do together every week, as much for me in my journey of fatherhood as it is for him to run out energy.  I left here today proud of my self, and how I manage these weekends and have found my ways.  We’re in sync, and I am consistent, and I am enjoying this special time, grateful for places like this that have provided me a place to practice.

NOT FAN ART?? !!!??!!???

Could I maybe ask for a rottmnt request? I was wondering if you could do the turtle tots have a crush on a child y/n. Like it would just be really cute to know how the turtle boys handles crushes as kids 😭

☼TURTLE TOTS X CHILD READER ☼

Summary:

The little turtles have a crush on child reader!

Warning(s):

None! Just some adorable fluff

A/N:

Congratulations anon for being my first ask, this is absolutely adorable, them having little crushes omg SO CUTE AKAKAKA (gender-neutral reader!)

《RAPH》

I feel like he wouldn't know the concept of liking someone.

He would definitely ask splinter about it, it would go a little bit like this..

"Hey dad.." Raph peers over at splinter, sitting on his one man couch.

"Yes?" Splinter responded,

"Why everytime [Name] comes to play with me, I feel all fuzzy and weird?"

"...what?"

At the end Splinter shoo's him off, man's gotta deal with 4 mutated turtles, I don't blame him.

So he has to rely on his brothers

They tell him that's the feeling he has is probably love, and he freaks out.

You bet next time you come over he's sweating BULLETS

He can't even look you in the eyes for five seconds without looking away in a hurry.

You're confused by this but don't think to much of it cause you just wanted to play

His brothers totally tease him about it saying..

"Raph has a crush! Raph has a crush!"

He denies it so much

But in the end he's just a sappy little turtle.

《LEO》

He's so surprised when he realizes

Like you guys would be playing catch and he misses a few catches because he was to busy thinking about how awesome you looked while throwing the ball.

He never would've thought it would be you! You're his pal, his amigo, his playmate, just a good friend, right?

Goes into a state of panic for about a solid 15 minutes, during those 15 minutes he runs around his room for a bit, rolls around the floor maybe, before laying on his bed and accepting that he has a crush

Definitely gonna be a little awkward when you come for visits though, tries to hide it.

But I think you can tell by the way he's looking at you like he's bout to start squealing.

Would try to get you to come around more often

Constantly asking Splinter after every visit

"So when can [Name] come over Agian?"

He's happy that it's you he had a crush on.

《DONNIE》

He's confused?

How did he fall for you?

Sure you listen to his rambles, and contributed to his 'weird' little hobbies, not to mention your smile is so contagious, but that doesn't mean he has a crush!..Right?

Oh, yeah that's how

He doesn't freak out as bad as Raph

Just goes into a mini state of shock when he puts the pieces together

He's is keeping this secret with him till he DIES, for his age having a crush is BIG news

He could not let anyone know, not even his brothers

And y'know what, he keeps this secret hidden for a solid 4 days.

Leo being a sneaky sneakster of course.

Next time you come over for a play date of a visit, all eyes would be on you.

Donnie would probably tried to keep you away from his brothers so they don't accidentally say something.

Not just that but he enjoys your company

Over all very lowkey with it

《MIKEY》

Mikey is ECSTATIC

He's so happy he got a crush, and on you!

Goes to tell his brothers immediately

But all his words just come out like this: OMGGUYSSSYOUWONTBELIEVEWHAT-

Like a keyboard smash

They're all like: what?

Mikey calms down and tells them what he just figured out

They're happy for him, little bro finally found someone

When you came to play, he has twice the amount of energy than when you usually come around

Wanting to do anything you want to do

If you wanna play catch, Okay he's down, you wanna play dolls, already has one, if you just want to talk, he's pumped for that too

He loves the feeling of loving you.

This was so cute omg ty for requesting, sorry if there is grammar issues it's 12 am and I have to wake up early to go somewhere, Anyways thanks!
