octonauts head in hands

having the most violent thoughts about the captain so bear (hah) with me -> very much hand-wavy headcannon-y stuff so don't take what I say to heart <33

this man is so self-sacrificial and its shocking that none of the crew have mentioned it. like, he embodies the 'protect' part of their mantra-- this guy would jump in front of a bullet if it meant saving someone else

i like to think that hes very much faking it till he makes it; y'know, confident on the outside and emotional on the inside. he refuses to ask for help because he's The Captain. He needs to be strong for his crew and the sea creatures he aids in rescuing. this, in turn results in a very (un)healthy case of imposter syndrome

because of this, he pushes himself so much for no reason. like, he would be the last one awake in the evenings and the first one up in the morning. he shoves all his feelings somewhere deep in his mind and, y'know, refuses to think about them (we love emotional expression, don't we :D /s)

but like, hes also so soft spoken and sincere when it comes to speaking with his crew,,, he definitely remembers all their birthdays and likes to make an event out of them, much to the chagrin of some of the crew

and thinking of that one episode where they all go on vacation whilst the octopod is getting repaired and like,, even when he's trying to take a break from captaining, something goes wrong

my god, he deserves some time to just, not be the peak of responsibility. my poor little guy deserves to just, have a goddamned break and therapy-- a break and therapy sounds good, i am prescribing him right now, you hear !!

and like, how is he always so level-headed in every situation??? he's always got the perfect plan for everything in seconds. that does not sound like a person who DOESN'T overthink things. girl, i think you need to take a deep breath and break down for once, as a treat.

anyways, manatee episode is prime example of this (i am so normal about that i swear <- clawing at the walls of my enclosure) one, how didn't he get hurt?? like he definitely should have. two: he should have, y'know, ASKED FOR HELP TO GET OUT OF THAT STUPID CLAM !! and, i don't know TOLD EVERYONE WHEN HE WAS RUNNING OUT OF OXYGEN??!

its like, he very much is putting the manatee's well being above his own but, girl, PLEASE be selfish for once. i love how much he trusts his team but, like, was he embarrassed?? he shouldn't be because HOW many times have the others been stuck somewhere? and like, they're all so compassionate and WOULDN'T make fun of him for it at all

did Tweak even know that the gup A got struck by lightning???

and oogh, jellyfish bloom episode. more evidence of his self-sacrificial nature because like, he gets hurt AND still goes out to help them like its nothing. the prevention of kwazii and peso getting stung being the CAUSE of the injury.

oh yeah, you're not getting out of it that easy, fictional polar bear who i harbour a deep nostalgic and emotional attachment to

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Laura hated school. She had never gone to school before and she was fine, but after Logan and you had taken her under your wing, you put her in a school for her 'education'.

The only thing she needed to be educated in was survival. She hated sitting in a chair for hours, trying to keep still so she wouldn't get scolded. She hated the dumb questions teachers asked, their dumb faces while they got frustrated that the class didn't understand. And She hated math.

But most of all?

She hated that Logan had to pick her up every damn day. Not because of Logan himself or because she wanted to prove that she could walk home on her own, but because every time Logan stepped foot into the classroom to get her-

that one teacher wouldn’t leave him alone.

Her name was Miss Dover. She was pretty, blonde, and always smiling way too much when Logan arrived. She touched his arm, she laughed at things he didn’t mean to be funny.

And Laura?

Laura wanted to throw her backpack at her face. Or get her claws out, but Logan didn’t allow her

Logan already regretted agreeing to pick Laura up every day after the first time he had done so. Of course not because of Laura, but because of Miss Dover. Today was no different. The second he stepped onto the school grounds, surrounded by students who reminded him of the old times in the mansion, there she was.

“Mr. Howlett!” she called out to him in a too friendly manner, flipping her hair over her shoulder to show off. “Right on time, as always.” she smiled and to Logan, it looked like it hurt. He sighed. Here we go.

He only grunted in response, crossing his arms. Don’t engage. Keep it short. Get out.

Miss Dover, of course, ignored all of that. And she was in no way repelled because of Logans clear lack of interest in her. “You know” she started, biting her lip as she looked up at him, “I think it’s so sweet that you take the time to pick Laura up every day. A lot of dads just send a babysitter. I find that very admirable and...amazing”

Logan barely kept himself from rolling his eyes. “Well, she’s my kid.” he deadpanned. He was supposed to pick her up from school, so he did. It was the bare minimum, no need to make a fuss over something that was so self-evident.

Miss Dover beamed at him even after his discouraging answer. “That’s wonderful! A family man.” Logans eye twitched at that. He needed to get Laura and leave. Now.

Laura watched them from the steps of the school entrance, arms crossed over her chest, her pink glasses sitting on top of her head. She glanced at you, who stood beside her, smirking. Logan had begged you to come when he picked up Laura so he could prove to you how persistent and stubborn that one teacher was when it came to flirting with him.

“Should we save him?” you asked the girl beside you. For the record, you weren't jealous. Why would you be? You knew Logan loved you and didn't have eyes for anyone else, if anything, you were pretty amused by his misery. Laura shrugged at your question. “He deserves it.” you snorted a laugh, she had a point “Yeah, but we need him in one piece."

With a sigh, Laura slung her backpack over her shoulder, slipped down her sunglasses so they covered her eyes and marched towards Logan. Miss Dover was still going on about something, being awfully handsy while Logan was so obviously uncomfortable, when Laura reached them. She grabbed Logans sleeve, pulling at it. “Can we go now?” she asked Logan, paying no mind to her teacher. Miss Dovers eyes softened and she let out a coo “Aww. Looks like someone is eager to get home with Daddy” upon her words, Laura stared at her with an unreadable expression. Then, very clearly, very loudly, she said:

“He is married”

Miss Dover blinked. Logan groaned but was silently relieved. It wasn’t the way he thought Miss Dover would find out, but in the end he was glad. Laura pointed directly at you as you approached from the steps. “To her”

Miss Dovers smile dropped as she followed to where Laura pointed. You, meanwhile, finally stepped closer, grinning. “Hi” you greeted cheerfully with a wave, slipping your arm around Logans “I’m his wife” you confirmed with a nod. And judging by Miss Dovers expression, you knew she thought you didn't fit into the family, that you didn't even look like Lauras mom, that you looked way too young and you were overall not a good match in her opinion. You could tell she was about to gossip over this in the teachers lounge. But you couldn’t care less.

Logan exhaled in relief as he felt you settling beside him. Miss Dover turned red. Out of embarrassment or anger, you couldn't tell. Probably the latter. “Oh, I...I had no idea-" she stammered, averting eyecontact and taking a step back, her hand playing with the fabric of her skirt.

“Yeah” Laura said flatly. “Can we go now?”

Logan didn’t wait to answer her. He turned on his heel and walked away, practically dragging you and Laura with him. The three of you walked to his truck in silence. Logan ran a hand down his face as he threw Lauras backpack into the car. “Finally" he grunted as he sat down behind the steering wheel.

You laughed at him “She really doesn’t get the hint, huh?” you noted. Logan twisted the key, rubbing his temples while he drove out of the parking lot. “I swear, next time-”

“Next time” Laura interrupted from behind “you are sending her to pick me up”

Logan frowned, looking through the rear-view mirror at her “Why?”

Laura buckled her seatbelt “Because then she will know you are taken for real. She probably thinks this was a joke or something"

You laughed at that, leaning against Logan. “She’s right, you know. That woman looked like she wasn’t believing her ears when I said I was your wife. You said she was being persistent, I don’t think she will take this seriously” you chuckled, giving his rugged cheek a kiss. Logan sighed defeated "Yeah, yeah” he answered, putting a hand on your thigh while rounding a corner. “Maybe next time, you pick her up”

You grinned, laying your hand over his. He was a little tense. You knew why. He didn't know if you were jealous, maybe you were a little mad but didn't show it. "I'm not jealous, if you think that. Not at all"

Logan raised an eyebrow. Then he looked at you - really looked at you. At the way you fit so perfectly against him. At the way your eyes sparkled with mischief, teasing him. At the way your hand rested over his, like it belonged there. And when he turned his hand to grasp yours tightly, he was holding his heart in his palm. Yeah. You weren't jealous. Because he was yours. And you were his. And nothing was ever going to change that.

Not even when Laura stood in front of Logan a week later, her arms crossed, staring him down despite him clearly towering over her.

“You have to come”

“No, I don’t.”

“Yes, you do”

Logan sighed, rubbing his temples. They had been at this back and forth game for like 10 minutes now “Why?” he grumbled. “Because it’s career day” Laura answered flatly.

He gave her a look that said he cursed the way she was just as stubborn as him “Yeah? So?” he muttered lowly and shrugged. Laura huffed and rolled her eyes. “So” she said, already looking exhausted over the argument “everyone has to bring a parent to talk about their job”

Laura really wanted him to come. Mostly because she was always the black sheep in her class when it came to telling stories, showing emotions and just simply existing. She was different than the other kids, and after what happened to her, she had every right to be. The others picked on her more often than not and while she wanted to let her claws speak for her, Logan had strictly forbidden it. So all she could do was listen to them. It was draining. She just wanted to be normal for once.

Logan knew that, yet he scowled, picking up a can of beer from the fridge "Tell ‘em I’m dead.” he said between chugging down the bitter liquid.

You were sitting on the couch and as you heard their conversation, you couldn't help but snort.

Laura didn’t blink, unfazed “You have to come.”

Logan glared down at her, hating just how much she was like him. He was about to tell her to fuck off and go to her room, but he sighed “Kid, no one wants to hear me talk about drivin' a damn limo.”

Laura shrugged at that, turning on her heel. “Too bad.” she said. And just like that, Logan lost the argument.

And thats how Logan found himself sitting at the front of the classroom, arms crossed, scowl in full force. You stood at the back with a few other parents, your eyes fixated on him. It was fun, seeing him so annoyed. But it also warmed your heart- he sat next to Laura, sitting way taller than she was, his long legs barely fitting under the table. The two were bickering, poking each other back and forth before Laura leaned her head against his shoulder, his arm around her securely. He was it for you. Yes, you were married, but you'd marry him again in a heartbeat.

There were parents that had already gone before him. Firefighters, doctors, a lawyer. A police man sat down in his seat again after his presentation. And now it was Logans turn.

Great.

With a grunt, he stood up, slightly limping over to the blackboard. He could already feel the judgy stares of the other parents. Laura gave him a small thumbs up, and so did you.

Miss Dover, the teacher yes, that one, smiled at Logan “Alright, Mr. Howlett, why don’t you tell us what you do for a living?” she cheered.

Logan exhaled slowly.

"…I drive a limo.”

Silence.

Some of the kids blinked. A couple of parents exchanged unimpressed glances. Then one kid raised his hand. “Like… for famous people?” the young boy asked, looking a bit intimidated by Logans frown.

“Sometimes.” Logan grunted as an answer. Another kid raised her hand, bolder and more confident than her classmahe “What’s the coolest person you ever drove?”

Logan grimaced at her question, but what was he supposed to do? “A drunk guy who puked in my backseat” he replied, looking at his feet while silence spread through the room again. Miss Dover cleared her throat, the tension in the air was awkward “Oh! well, uhm..does your job have any…exciting parts?” she stuttered out, the eyes of the other parents resting on her as if to ask: why the hell did you allow him to come?

Logan stared at her, the question heavy in the room. Did she really want him to tell a bunch of ten year olds about the times he got into fistfights and gun battles with passengers?

“…Not really” he muttered.

From the back, you smiled. You knew exactly what was happening. Logan wasn’t embarrassed about his job, nor did he care about what these people thought. But he cared about Laura. And right now? He felt bad that her dad was a limo driver while other kids got to brag about firefighters and surgeons and stuff.

Your chest ached.

Because he didn’t get it. Laura didn’t care about any of that, she just wanted her dad.

Miss Dover clapped her hands, her cheeks red in slight embarrassement. “Well, let’s open the floor for more questions!” she welcomed the classroom.

Big mistake.

A mom from the third row, blonde, red lipstick, way too interested, raised her hand “So, Mr. Howlett” she started, smiling too much, “do you work long hours?” she nearly purred. Logan tensed a little, rubbing his beard “…I guess.”

Another mom, brunette, twirling her curls around her fingers in a flirty manner, leaned forward. “Must be tough coming home late all the time. Bet it gets lonely.”

You bit your lip, amused, but also a little sorry for the kids that had to witness their moms shamelessly thirst over another kids dad. Laura rolled her eyes and Logan scowled “I’m not lonely.”

The blonde mom giggled, biting her bottom lip “Yeah, I bet with me you wouldn't be” she purred. Jesus, what as up with these women??

Logans jaw clenched in annoyance. He didn't understand how these women could just full on flirt with him while their children were there. Besides that, he, Laura and you had arrived later than everyone else and he had kissed you before sitting down, surely they noticed that? Apparently not, not even the obvious ring on his finger seemed to catch their attention.

You, meanwhile, just waited. Because any second now-

“He’s married.” Laura deadpanned, her arms crossed, saving him yet again.

The brunette mom blinked “Oh” she mumbed, her face burning red. The blonde mom hesitated. "really..?”

Logan, already done with everything, just pointed at you in the back of the room. Every head turned and in any other situation, this would have you highly uncomfortable. But you just grinned. “Hi Ladies” you greeted them. You walked forward to the blackboard, smiling at the way their jealous stares bore into the back of your head. You could tell the women were fuming over the fact that you bagged such a handsome man, but Logan knew only you could truly appreciate him. "We should try and advertise our marriage" you giggled.

Logan grumbled, wrapping an arm around your waist protectively. You smirked up at him, fixing his loose tie “Maybe you should start to wear a sign.” you teased him even more. He rolled his eyes at you “Shut up" he mumbled, but his grip on you tightened. Because you were his. And he wanted to show that.

You didn't even wait for the other parents to have their turn at presenting their jobs. You just took Laura and went out of there, walking back to Logans truck. “That was hell.” he sighed, letting himself fall behind the wheel with a grunt.

You laughed as you closed your door from the passenger seat, slipping your hand into his “You survived"

“Barely.”

Laura climbed into the truck behind you two, buckling her seatbelt “Next time, I’m bringing her” she said, pointing at you. Logan frowned at that, the engine purring to life “What, so she can brag about…what? Painting? Making fun of me?” he grinned smugly, making you want to wipe that smirk off his face.

You returned the grin “I could have given them a whole presentation on how sexy my husband is.” you hummed, leaning in close to his face, your noses touching. Logan chuckled, the sound rich in his chest "Oh, yeah?” he muttered gravelly, leaning in to give you a deep, wet, noisy kiss.

Laura made a gagging noise.

You pulled back with a laugh and Logan turned towards the road as he started driving, a satisfied smile on his lips. You glanced at Laura in the backseat. “So?” you asked. “Were you embarrassed?

She blinked at your question, her brows furrowed, making her look so much like Logan “What?”

You gestured toward Logan next to you, then looked back at her “That your dad is a limo driver.” you stated simply, matter of factly. Lauras frown deepened, like the question itself was stupid. “No.” she said flatly.

Logan glanced at her through the rear view mirror, his brow cocked. "That right?” he asked her, feeling a soft smile creeping onto his lips. She shrugged, looking out the window. “You pick me up every day. You don’t talk too much. You don’t smell weird. You’re fine.”

Your heart swelled and you aww'ed at the two. "Great review, kid.” Logan huffed, but you knew he was feeling proud inside. Laura pulled a juice box from her bag and for a moment, the car was silent.

“Better than the other dads.”

Logan swore his heart just did a giddy flip “Yeah?” he asked, as if he had just heard her wrong. Your expression was soft as you looked at him, your hands curling around his.

Laura nodded wordlessly. And just like that, Logan realized it didn’t matter what he did for work, what he had done in the past. It didn’t define him entirely. Because Laura?

Laura was just happy he was her dad.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

idk how these career days work, I am not american and never had one, I don’t even know if they are that popular im sorry😭

I still have a few unfinished requests in store, i am so sorry everything is taking so long!

[charmedreincarnation]

So, I was watching ATLA and LOK for the millionth time, and there are so many elements in these shows that I have applied to my life, it's not even funny. This isn’t even really meant to be particularly educating but honestly I could have used atla and lok alone at the beginning of my journey and still come to the same conclusions as I had today. They’re both some of my fav shows since I was a child, and looking back and seeing its influence on me is very nostalgic. Also the live action is getting produced soon so I can’t think of a better time to make this post.

Chakras

Anyways In Avatar: The Last Airbender," Aang learns about chakras from Guru Pathik. Chakras are like energy points in our body. Each one is linked to a different part of life, such as love, truth, or survival. When Aang clears blockages in these chakras, he can use his Avatar powers better. I had made a post about I will link here but honestly watching the scene in a kids show is more appealing 😭😭

Meditation

Meditation is used a lot in the Avatar series. It helps characters like Aang to focus, feel calm, and understand themselves better. In real life, meditation does the same thing! It can obviously help reduce stress, improve focus and make us feel happier. In both shows I saw characters use meditation to induce a plethora of things.

Talk to Past Lives: Aang uses meditation to talk to his past lives for advice.

Ask for Help: Aang meditates to ask spirits for help.

Clear Minds: Characters meditate to think clearly and make good decisions.

Astral Projection: Aang and Jinora can travel as spirits, separate from their bodies, and etc

Yin and Yang

Avater uses the Moon (Yin) and Ocean (Yang) spirits to symbolize balance. Yin (Moon spirit) is like the subconscious mind, it's quiet, internal, and creative. Yang (Ocean spirit) can be seen as the conscious mind, it's active, external, and logical.

Just like in Neville Goddard's teachings, both aspects need to work together for balance. In the show, when the Moon spirit is killed, chaos ensues because the balance is disrupted. It's only when the Moon spirit is revived that harmony is restored. This is similar to how our subconscious (inner self) and conscious (outer self) minds need to work together to achieve our desires as we want to experience both of the worlds as they work in unison.

Astral realm and the sprit world

Atla and lok also talks about a spirit world. This is like another dimension filled with spirits and mystical beings. It's similar to what we call the 'astral realm' - so a space beyond the physical world where our consciousness can go. Also Jinora, a character in "The Legend of Korra," has a unique spiritual ability that allows her to astral project. So she can separate her spirit from her physical body and traverse both the physical and spiritual worlds in her spiritual form.

Jinora displays astral projection abilities multiple times. For instance, in Season 2, she uses this skill to guide Korra, who is lost in the spirit world, she also uses it to find and save Kai in seasons 3. Her astral form appears as a glowing butterfly-like spirit, and she used it multiple times to lead her friends to safety.

The Void state

In lok a character named Zaheer learns to fly. He was put in jail for trying to kidnap the Avatar. But he obviously didn't waste time while in jail. Instead, he used it to meditate and try to reach enlightenment. He does this by entering a 'void' state when he meditates. He lets go of all his earthly attachments and desires, and this makes him weightless. His ability to fly is deeply intertwined with his spiritual beliefs and his interpretation of the teachings of Guru Laghima, an ancient Air Nomad.

In the show Guru Laghima, who lived 4,000 years before Zaheer's time, was the first airbender known to have unlocked the ability to fly. According to his teachings, one could achieve flight by "entering the void" - which meant letting go of all earthly attachments and desires to attain true freedom. When his gf dies This emotional event helps him truly let go of his last earthly tether, thus allowing him to "enter the void" and unlock the ability to fly.

Reincarnation and the avatar cycle

I knew the shows were probably based of real life because I’ve seen air nomad clothing, and I know monks are very closely reflected onto the show but really every aspect rings true and is similar to beliefs in Buddhism. This is especially true when looking at the Dalai Lama, who is a spiritual leader in Tibetan Buddhism.

People believe that the Dalai Lama is a new version of Avalokiteśvara or Chenrezig, who is known as the Bodhisattva of Compassion. When a Dalai Lama dies, it's believed he comes back to life in a new person. Then, high-ranking lamas look for signs to find this person.

This is like the cycle of the Avatar. When an Avatar dies, they come back to life in a new person from the next nation in a set order (Air, Water, Earth, Fire). The new Avatar is found using different tests, which is much like how the new Dalai Lama is found.

But there are some differences. For example, the Avatar can remember their past lives, but the Dalai Lama usually doesn't say they remember theirs. Also, the Avatar is special because they can control all four elements, which is a fantasy idea and doesn't have a real-life counterpart in Buddhism.

I was researching my a specific Lama and his story was a reflection of Korra’s character. It's interesting to note that both the Dalai Lama and Korra knew from a young age that they were special. In the show, Korra knew she was the Avatar when she was very young. Similarly, the Dalai Lama also recognized his identity at a young age.

Honestly, it's just a really good show to watch. I probably even missed some elements from the show bc I’m more concerned about watching it than learning something. But I love both ATLA and LOK and I've even shifted to LOK and will shift to ATLA as well! I really suggest watching its so good y’all. Byeee

[im-not-buying-it-ether]

Indoctrinate me baby! Legit I'm trying to expand my comics experience lol so if you wanna rant about Mary marvel a bit I'll totally listen:)

You know not the monster you have unleashed

But none the less, happy to squeal!

Mary has two surnames for varied reasons but I'll tell you the basics of her big appearances. Earth-S or classic Mary, New Earth or PoS (Power of Shazam) Mary, and 52/current Mary.

Classy Mary was raised as Mary Bromfield, a very well educated and intelligent ingenue with lots of academic and practical knowledge. The former of which we see in her first appearance as a contestant on a sort of gameshow segment Billy is hosting and, during a trip over commercial, Billy finds out he had a long-lost twin sister that was swapped with another couples deceased child at age 6 months, so Billy thought he was an only child. The person expositing this is the nurse who swapped them, and she gives Billy a half heart locket to identify his sister with, and that sister turns out to be Mary who he saves after she's kidnapped after the show.

Billy reveals himself after saving her as Captain Marvel and Mary wonders aloud if, since they're twins, she could transform by saying Shazam too. Lo and behold, she does! With a pantheon her own the Wizard procured she becomes Mary Marvel, Earths Mightiest Girl, and fights crime with her brother and their friend Freddy Freeman (Captain Marvel Junior).

Mary had her own comic run, lots of adventures fighting such treats as witches or dealing with mundane trials like baby-sitting way too many kids, but she does all this good with pride and cataloged it for her own trips down memory lane in her Good Deeds Ledger. One other story I adore where she loses her powers due to a calendar issue is that she's able to keep fighting with funny traps and devices when she's lost her powers to keep taking down the mobsters of that issue. Mary is a very kind, good hearted, and clever girl with a family in the Bromfields and with Billy and their extended Marvel Family.

Power of Shazam Mary was raised as Mary Batson, no swapping in childhood, but after a crazy trip to Cairo for a dig with her archeologist parents when Billy was left home for the trip due to bad grades in school Mary loses both her parents and is smuggled back to the states by their killer and passed off to the killers sister to deal with. The killers sister is the updated nurse who swapped Mary in the last iteration, Nurse Primm, who had Mary adopted by the Bromfield couple where the mother was a cousin of Mary's mother and didn't want Mary to end up with their uncle like Billy would end up. Mary suffered from amnesia and night terrors after the whole ordeal and couldn't remember the Batsons, only a vague feeling that Captain Marvel looked like her dad when she saw him.

Eventually, Billy is able to reveal the whole thing and in another kidnapping plot Mary does get her powers again, though this time shared with Billy and his pantheon. After a lot more plot of the PoS comics, both Billy and Mary end up adopted by the Bromfield couple and living together as superpowered siblings.

Current Mary is only Mary Bromfield, no longer the twin sister to Billy as she was in all other iterations of her character. She is college aged, ran away from her home with the Bromfields in winter because of their abuse, and ended up fostered by the Vasquez Family where she would get Freddy and later Billy as foster brothers. Billy would share his powers with his family again, empowering Mary again, but after comic plot and Lazuras Planet: We Once Were Gods, Mary is empowered by her own pantheon again while Billy regains the favor of the Wizard and his pantheon.

Mary's Shazacronym as I like to call it goes as such|

Classic + Current

Selene: Agility Hippolyta: Strength Artemis: Stamina Zephyrus: Flight Aurora: Invunerability Minerva: Wisdom

PoS with Billy and Freddy

Solomon: Wisdom Heracles: Strength Atlas: Stamina Zeus: Power Achillies: Courage Mercury: Speed

And yes, if you noticed, Mary does not have a power blessing in her current or classic iteration but nonetheless, she is able to shoot and use lightning powers. She's an og girl boss like that :)

DP X DC School Project

So...I am part of a dp x dc Discord server under the nickname Jazz. Someone decided to post a Pinterest picture in the fanfic ideas channel. This is the conversation it created. I love this Discord server so much.

Eros:

Danny and Damain working together on school project together.

Or even Dani and Damian up to you.

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Danny and Damian just sounds so much more funny to me.

Eros:

Alrights 👌

BreKitten:

Oh my gosh, that's hilarious

Eros:

And they totally would act like this

Apricot:

crying lmao

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Damien: Why wouldn't we shop at [the expensive place]? I am an heir-

Danny: taps the paper 2k a month. You gave up your money to make me feel more comfortable.

Damien: Why would I care about your comfort?

Danny: dramatic gasp How could say that about your husband?!

Apricot:

Damian: husband?! what "husband"?!

Eros:

then proceeded to fight on types of toast and pricy vegetarian meals

Danny: look our family needs a balance diet, we can't live off vegetables alone! The very least we should mix it with some actual food like Ectoplasm.

(if Ectoplasm can be considered all kind of elements/a semi living organism since it revives things then any food brought to life should be counted as a beast of some kind)

Eros:

Also counts since Danny lived off ectoplasm for a fair bit of his life so he would see it as a food source

Eros:

Danny: me. I'm your husband, we agreed to marry to make it easier for the kids.

Apricot:

Damian: KIDS?!

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Danny: Danny Jr and Damian Jr!

Eros:

Danny: yes kids, don't tell me you forgot we had kids! I swear you'll say you forgot we have pets too!

Danny: shows the paper that says they have a pet and two kids

Jazz:

No wait, the ectoplasm comes last. Just the Wayne’s seeing Damian and this random kid fight about every single thing. Finally Damian comes home and says that they finally agreed on something.

The Wayne’s: finally. Looks like this is a good learning experience:

Damian: we have agreed to live off of Lazarus water.

Wayne’s: ABORT! ABORT! ABORT!

And the best thing is that they might not know about Danny being a halfa. So they think Damian is now corrupting random citizens.

Jazz:

Cause like, they both grew up with Lazarus water/ectoplasm and know the nutritional value.

Eros:

Indeed~

Jazz:

Great for child development too!

They both turned out great!

Eros:

Hehehe

Alright now both Danny and Damian are fully into this project now they have at least a agreed idea on food

Because the project they have is this; budget for every day living

So they have food set out

There is now trying to keep the house running and kids/pets alive and entertained

Danny agrees that with his skills he can do the majority of repairs, Damian agrees to take responsibility of the pets

They are now having an argument on how children should be raised.

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Damian is all for strict discipline, high standards of education, after school activities (he may not want his kids to be assassins but he still wants the best).

Danny's all for independence, finding your own way, encouragement and lots of love and support.

Damian: Do you want our children to grow up to be garbagemen?!

Danny: Do you know how much a garbageman makes?!

Eros:

Danny grew up around a lot of physical affection and love from his folks, except around the time of the accident/the holidays he always knew his parents loved each other very very much.

Damian comes from such an emotionally constipated house hold that he only gets the majority of physical affection from Dick

Jazz:

Lol

This is so perfect.

Danny then says something that puts Damian’s entire world view into question.

Danny: is this how you would treat our pets?!

Eros:

Damian: gasp how dare you, how very dare you!

Adonnenniel "Addy":

XD Danny, recounting the story later to Sam and Tucker: I swear, if he had pearls, he would've clutched them.

Eros:

Hehehe

Jazz:

Me imagining Damian going to Dick to complain.

Damian: can you imagine?! Raising kids and hugging them! Or saying it’s ok to fail!

Dick’s face.

Eros:

Damian complaining to his family: we might have agreed on living off Lazarus water, but now he wishes for our children to just go wild, then compared our pets to them!

Jazz:

Damian: obviously our pets would act nothing like those…savages.

Eros:

It just keeps getting better~

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Waynes are listening to this kind of like a soap opera

Eros:

Sam: wow Danny, at the very least your doing better then when you were partnered up with Val, like the majority of the time you were trying to pawn off raising the kid on each other until the flower was in danger, but I can't say much myself since Tucker pulled a Kronos.

Which opened a new can of worms; how much time were they going to take care and be there for their "kids" what kind of training would they go through

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Hehehe

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Danny: I learned from my mistakes. I wasn't ready to be a parent then.

Eros:

Their whole class and teachers are watching it like a soap opera

Eros:

The very least they get to see it live and not re counted

Jazz:

(Someone get popcorn, or they just get out their packed lunches early).

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Yes! The Waynes and Sam and Tucker get the play-by-play but the class gets to see the actual show!

Jazz:

No wait, someone records it and post it and then it goes viral. (Do they think that the Wayne’s make a lot more sense now hearing of how Damian thinks children should be raised?)

(Are there now more questions?!)

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Oooh. I can see people being even worse to Damian. Maybe pitying him because he grew up with so little love.

Eros:

Then the next day Danny brings up the issue of child raising again since Sam makes a good point.

Danny: okay so I've re think a few things, mainly on occasion the kids should get self defense classes or something like that since it would make most sense to keep them safe. But beyond work and school activities how should we spend our time with them?

Jazz:

People see the two about to continue their conversation and immediately stop what they are doing to bring their phones out.

What if this becomes one of the most popular ‘dramas’? Like, so much in fact even villains will stop what they are doing to watch?

Eros:

(because Danny comes from a physical affectionate house doesn't mean there was neglect from his folks working way too much)

Jazz pretty much raised him when it came to actual child care so Danny is determined to be there for his "kids"

Not just for the fun stuff or being pulled to random projects

Jazz:

They get super invested in this project.

Also, what if people intentionally goad them on? Like seeing them together and asking if a kid should be left alone at home or with a babysitter or what they’ll do during a blackout/tornado?

Eros:

Surprisingly it's Danny who brings a big book of plans in case if emergencies

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Yes!

Adonnenniel "Addy": - reply to students and citizens goading Danny and Damian on.

The teacher reworks their lesson plans to do an extended deep dive into home economics so that this can keep happening.

Jazz:

Absolutely.

Jazz:

Some of the emergency responses are normal like, if there is a tornado, evacuate kids to a shelter, others are strange like arguing whether you should fight the burglar or prioritize the kids. Others are just plain weird. A blackout? Both Damian and Danny will turn to face the questioner. Obviously they’ll be able to see in the dark. (Effect of ectoplasm/Lazarus exposure).

Eros:

Danny is even willing to share on the "in case of apocalypses" situations

Jazz:

Neither question why they know a massive amount of information about various world ending disasters/villains.

Eros:

Oh and how they should pack bags for school and for emergencies

Jazz:

Omg, they make a kid survival kit. Including blasters and knives.

Eros:

Danny insists they should put some of the survival kit stuff in the school bag

Jazz:

Everything a five year old should take to school.

Eros:

Ooo discussion on how old their kids should be to learn about weapons and how to safely handle them

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Danny: Eight should be good.

Damian: Eight is way too late to start!

Jazz:

The fact that both agree this is a necessary subject to teach their kids. Everyone’s reaction to hearing various ways you can kill/dismember a person and why this won’t work. Not because it’s immoral but clearly because young kids don’t have the necessary arm length to complete certain maneuvers.

Eros:

Damian: that's why we should put the kids into martial arts and gymnastics as soon as possible so  they can be flexible enough!

Jazz:

Danny: that’s why we should wait until their older and focus on their aim while young! Their muscle memory will be all wrong by the time they reach the appropriate age!

Damian: they will not always have a weapon to aim. The body is the only reliable weapon that will never fail.

Eros:

Now to add extra into the mix; Bruce and Jazz (who is now Danny's legal guardian) show up to school to pick them up as they are in a middle of an argument

Danny: and who will be the one teaching them? Because proper teachers will be expensive, at least we can teach them at home how to aim properly! It can be a bonding experience!

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Jazz: What are you talking about?

Danny: Teaching our young children proper aim.

Jazz: You will not!

Danny: I mean, you're obviously not going to teach them.

Jazz:

Damian: I can teach them perfectly fine.

Danny: what about work? You can’t be with them all the time. 

Damian: I can take them with me. We can travel around Gotham and learn to fight through experience. 

Danny: you are not taking our children to fight on the streets

Damian: what, didn’t you want us bonding?! Make up your mind!

Dick looking at Bruce. “This is your fault.”

Eros:

Danny: You're not letting our children out on the streets, they will put too many people in the hospital! You have any idea how expensive that would be!

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Damian casually dropping he's Robin?

Jazz:

Danny not even processing it.

Then casually stating he’s dead. Damian skipping that detail.

Adonnenniel "Addy":

XD They're too caught up in the roles.

Jazz:

Exactly.

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Maybe afterwards, if they think back on it.

Jazz:

Like vigilantism and the dead coming back to life is normal for them. They are focusing on the children right now thank you.

Adonnenniel "Addy":

And then they both come up with the excuse "I was just adding to lore, it was all pretend!"

Eros:

Not before this;

Damian: fine if you want to control our lives and children then we should just divorce!!

Jazz:

Danny: oh I’m controlling?!

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Do they get Alfred to be the judge to oversee their divorce?

Jazz:

Danny: fine, our kids and pets will be happier with me anyways.

Damian: don’t you dare bring the pets into this.

Damian going to Bruce to use the Wayne lawyers for this imaginary family divorce.

He will win this.

Danny actually going to Vlad.

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Vlad has been watching the whole time. He doesn't need to be brought up to speed.

Jazz:

Both of them are like, this is ridiculous. But on the other hand, my child actually asked for help from me for once.

Eros:

Hehehe

Danny uses Dani as an example of a child that is better off with him

Jazz:

Lol

Adonnenniel "Addy":

And Jazz even brings it up to Bruce that if Damian didn't get to play like this as a young kid, he might be making up for lost time, in his own intense way.

Eros:

Because that's what Danny is doing too

Jazz:

The absolute struggle both Bruce and Vlad go through on whether or not to actually do this and use up their lawyers, money, and resources.

The viral videos increase. 

Eros:

Danny getting frustrated enough that he is tempted to get Clockwork to be the judge

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Bruce gets his other kids involved? They play as Damian's lawyers?

Eros:

Yesz

Jazz:

Dick is having a blast.

Then Sam comes in for Danny’s defense.

Both Tucker, Tim, and Barbra (possibly Technis) get into a hacking war.

Eros:

Yesss!

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Yesss!

Jazz:

Cujo and Titus become best friends.

Eros:

Dani is still the example child

Jazz:

Tim is Damian’s example child.

Eros:

Peepaw Clockwork comes in a human form to judges

Jazz:

Alfred and Clockwork have tea.

And discuss their kids.

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Tim: I'm older than you! How am I your example child?!

Dick: whispers Hey, he's including you without stabbing you. Take the win.

Eros:

Clockwork: I do hope they figure this all out before their legit kids are born~

Jazz:

Yesssss.

Eros:

Danny: finally stops, going into a blushing and betrayed look at Clockwork

Damian: who doesn't know Clockwork sees the future what on earth are you talking about, we barely are keeping together for the kids we do have!

Gestures to Tim and Dani

Jazz:

Tim: I’m. Older. Than you!

Damian. Then start acting like it.

Danny: (trying to recover) tsk tsk, how can you treat your son this way?

Damian: he’s adopted.

Eros:

Danny: and she's a clone, doesn't mean they can't be loved and cared for as their own persons!

Danny: to prove a point he hugs both Dani and Tim, trying to smoother them with love and acceptance

Jazz:

Tim just looks so done with life at the moment.

Eros:

Danny: plus our pets are adopted, yet you wouldn't love them any less

Jazz:

Critical hit.

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Danny ends up adopting Tim by the end of this.

Jazz:

Lol

He wins Tim in the divorce.

Eros:

Lol

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Yesss!

Eros:

Tim gets a new dad

Jazz:

Bruce doesn’t know how to feel about this.

Eros:

This one says "I love you" and is into Tim's science projects

Jazz:

Dani’s like new sibling. Tackle Hugs.

And Danny doesn’t restrict coffee intake. He’s just as bad.

Eros:

If anything he shows Tim a whole world of coffee mixes

Jazz:

Jazz though. Jazz is a bit of a problem with Coffee.

Tim and his new dad form an alliance.

Eros:

Danny takes Tim to Frostbite to get a new spleen

Jazz:

Danny: see? I provide free healthcare.

Eros:

Then proceeds to show off Tim: This is my boi, I won him!

All while Dani is giggling and clinging to their sides

Jazz:

Vlad is looking at Bruce very smugly.

Eros:

Danny would show Tim and Dani off at school after this

Like: behold, my children!

Jazz:

It becomes public that Wayne enterprise’s CEO is Tim Fenton.

Eros:

(and since I'm going with King Danny in this)

That means due to Danny winning and Tim becoming his kid, Tim Fenton is now the prince of the infinite realms along with his new sister Dani

Cass and Steph come back from a big trip once everything is over

Jazz:

They ask what happened. 

Jason gleefully explains that Bruce went to legal war with another billionaire over an imaginary family and ended up loosing Tim to them.

Also, that Damian might have a crush.

Eros:

Jazz:

Lol

Eros:

Because he just went through one of the best non injury fights of his life with this guy

Jazz:

And lost

Eros:

Yet they do agree on a fair bit of things, and now know where their main issues are and can work on them.

Jazz:

The entire world witness this entire thing and there are going to be shippers.

Eros:

Pft imagine the Justice League hearing about this~

Jazz:

Also just think, when they eventually do get together. That high school teacher is absolutely going to brag that it was their project that started this.

Jon might have a crisis on being replaced as Damian’s best friend. Someone explains the difference between boyfriend and normal friend and Jon’s like, ok that’s fine then.

Eros:

Oh man, when Jon finds out everything that had happened

Jon would tell Conner

Jazz:

Conner hears about the clone comment.

Now Conner wants to be adopted.

Bruce “Kal-el” Wayne:

Absolutely

Danny be pulling a Bruce

Or would Bruce be pulling a Danny?

Jazz:

Omg, I just realized. Bruce Wayne lost a Custody battle.

Bruce “Kal-el” Wayne:

Major L

Eros:

To a child

Bruce “Kal-el” Wayne:

Ain't Danny technically a god?

Eros:

Still child

Who would definitely adopt Conner

BuriedReign:

Omg this is like a whole ass fic already, it’s soooo goood! I absolutely bursted out laughing at the “we plan to live off Lazarus water”

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Just got caught up and all I have to say is: 😂😂😂

Btw, I love the idea that Tim isn't legally adopted to Danny (by ghost standards, yes, not by mortal law) but he just goes with Danny cuz he's so done with his family.

Eros:

>:3

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Dani, Tim, Conner. Do we throw in reformed, de-aged Dan for shits and giggles?

Eros:

Pfft yess

And Damian only finds out about Dan after the divorce

This re sparks everything into a new battle~

Eros:

Damian is offended that Danny never told him about their other son Dan

Adonnenniel "Addy":

He wants visitation rights!

Eros:

Damian wants to win Dan, like how Danny won Tim

Adonnenniel "Addy":

That makes more sense

Eros:

Damian goes up to Dan and offers access to all sort of weapons, training/fights, being a heir to a different Kingdom, and possibly be ungrounded if he takes Damian's side in the new Custody battle

The Angst Queen:

When you catch up and burst out laughing

Also - I wanna add something

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Add, please!

The Angst Queen:

Damian would definitely pull a sword at some point - decide to attack and “miss” every time. He does not expect Danny to suddenly have an ice sword in hand. Do then they’re both going at it in a sword fight while still arguing about diaper brands

Damian - so then I attack him 

Dick - WHAT!?!? 

Damian - I know! He didn’t even have the decency to die! He pulled out his own sword! 

Dick in shock whispers - what

Damian - and he still refuses to consider Huggies! Insists on natural diapers!

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Lol

Eros:

Like when the arguments get too much they start sword fighting like the Adam's family

It's how they discuss things and keep up reaction times for both brain and body

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Do they fight in school or at the manor?

Eros:

School, just to add more to the soap opera drama

And for the bats to keep missing the live actions of it

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Yes!

Eros:

Except Babs but that's obvious to know why

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Their sword fights go all around the school, interrupting other classes. The security guards or other teachers try to stop them but Danny'll just pull them into the argument. 

Teacher: walking up to them, trying to grab the swords Now, boys, this must stop!

Danny: leaps up onto a desk, put his arm around the teacher's neck as he's still fighting Damian Hey, you look like a reasonable man. Tell me, why would you ever want to buy a waste product all for brand recognition and not cut down waste and get reusable diapers?

Teacher: That's a very leading question and calls on a few logical fallacies-

Danny: shoves the teacher away as Damian leaps for an attack

Eros:

And this is where Damian's crush really began

It's one thing to argue and have different trains of thought

It's another to have someone actually just as skilled as you in the battle of the sword and the mind

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Yeeees!

Eros:

Danny: Hopefully the castle is big enough for everyone

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Tim: You have a castle!? O_O

Conner: You have a castle!? : D

Danny: Yep!  Oh, and you two are now royalty!  Don't worry, you won't have to do anything unless you want to.

Eros:

I wonder if Tim rubs it in his other semi siblings faces

Like Steph, Jason, and Damian's faces in particular

Bruce “Kal-el” Wayne:

Does Tim take a pic of everything in the realms?

Eros:

Yes

Bruce Kal-el” Wayne:

Or try to

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Tim especially rubs being royalty in Damian's face.  He knows he should be better but damnit, Damian was/is all high and mighty about being the heir to the League of Assassins and Bruce's biological child - he stabbed Tim over it!  Tim gets to gloat a bit that he technically outranks Damian now!

BuriedReign:

Does this increase Damian’s crush on Danny? Damian tries to ask out Danny and makes it ‘rational’ by saying of course he needs to be higher ranked than Tim. While also trying to hide that isn’t the only reason why he wants to date Danny

Eros:

(make Damian unintentionally ghost speak which reveals his true emotions and reasons as to why he wants to date Danny)

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Damian: I want to date him for no other reason than to one-up my once brother.  That's it.  Nothing else involved here.  Just pure revenge.  I will not let Tim outrank me in this life or the next.

Jason: Uh-huh. flipping to the next page of Pride and Prejudice  Have fun on your denial date.

Omg, imagine Damian formally asking Danny out on a date!

And Danny's like, despite the divorce, I want to give us another shot.

Eros:

And the plot THICKENS

That's everyone's reactions 😁

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Yes!

Eros:

Where would they even go on a date?

Ooo what if they went to the museum

Or an art gallery

Bruce “Kal-el” Wayne:

Or a date to the literal moon

Eros:

I don't think Damian would survive that well

Bruce “Kal-el” Wayne:

Ecto shield giving an artificial atmosphere

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Damian would take Danny to a museum or art gallery.

Danny will chose the next date and take him to the moon.

Eros:

Then definitely the museum should be like the Glenbow Museum

This is just inside the front entrance

It's called the aurora borealis

Because they make the crystals actually glow different colors

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Ooooooh!

Yes!

Eros:

This is a full on walk through section where you learn about the stars and First Nations

Adonnenniel "Addy":

Holy shit, now I want to go to the Glenbow Museum.

Eros:

Art pieces, and they also have a section for mid evil times and even mini battle fields

The Angst Queen:

Side note - I bet Danny makes Damian work to get that date

Eros:

Definitely

[winepresswrath]

I cannot be the only book Warlock enjoyer out there. I know he's a very small part of the story, but even without the Adam's first friends addition you've got:

"I just don't see why everyone and everything has to be burned up and everything," Adam said... even if you win, you can't really beat the other side, because you don't really want to. I mean, not for good. You'll just start all over again. You'll just keep on sending people like these two," he pointed to Crowley and Aziraphale, "to mess people around. It's hard enough bein' people as it is, without other people coming and messin' you around."

and

Crowley grabbed Aziraphale's arm. "You know what happened?" he hissed excitedly. "He was left alone! He grew up human! He's not Evil Incarnate or Good Incarnate, he's just… a human incarnate—"

Warlock is the most messed around person -possibly ever, definitely in modern history- and it was him being messed around that left Adam in peace to grow up a human incarnate and save the world. He's a cosmological whipping boy. If he sucks he sucks specifically because Crowley and Aziraphale are bad at educating children and that's very funny to me. They did that! Obviously in the show it's more intense/interesting because they did that in person, it's borderline deliberate baby acquisition, and then after they spend years looking after him they contemplate murdering him, but even in the book he's the recipient of their dubious godfathering efforts and even though he's stubbornly a normalish stem kid that probably left a mark. this kid was given every opportunity to be the most ridiculously specific flavour of catholicore goth and rejected it all in favour of being one of maybe three people living in england who cares about baseball. Aziraphale and Crowley took a human child and taught him to enjoy artificial banana flavouring. that's on them.

Why do you have a pfp of "Luizinho" from turma da monica? (a brazilian comic series)

☝️🤓 um, actually, his name is Zé Luis

I placed him as my profile picture because i randomly remembered how i used to hate his guts as a kid, searched him up out of curiosity only to find that he is one of the least known characters since he hardly shows up in stories, so the fact i have five or so comics with him in them and i despised him is pretty funny. I also found out the guy used to be the a major character, brother to the character who would become the protagonist of the franchise, but then got his sibling status removed and his quirks given to others (being a scientist to Franjinha, leader of the boys' club to Cebolinha). Nowadays he only ever shows up in educational booklets, his only animated appearance to date is this ad where he explains what savings accounts are... Finding out about his history made me want to read more stories about him with a different perspective from when i was 5 and he's grown on me a lot, he's very silly. Plus, that image of him is pretty cute

Them as dog breeds (maknae line)

Shen Ricky, Kim Gyuvin, Park Gunwook, Han Yujin

Warning: none

Genre: Fluff

Author's note: Here's the second part, I hope I am being accurate enough tho.

Anyways, I hope you guys like it and sorry for the long wait :D

Hyung line

°□°□°□°□°□°□°□°□°□°□°□°□°□°□°□°□

What kind of dog breeds would they resemble according to their traits and vibes?

Ricky (Pyrenean mastiff)

♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡

Pyrenean mastiffs are a spanish breed that are used by farmers to guide the herd, so they're quite big dogs (he's also freaking tall so it makes sense)

Although their size is intimidating and gives them a cold appearance they're docile and good natured,really noble, meek and intelligent.

With people they know they are caring and protective when they need to, but without being too clingy or sickly sweet. With people they don't know they seem indifferent but not aggressive (which I think it's oddly accurate for a reason?)

They are also really self-confident and they're also well aware of their own strenght when getting involved in any type of conflict with other dogs. They know their own value and what they are good at (definitely him 💀)

With unknown people they can also come as brave and fierce, specially when protecting someone,so whenever someone else flirts with you or stares he would use his intimidating privilege to scare them off (he a little bit jealous I think 😀)

The most supported theory about their origin is that the fenicians introduced the mastiff breed brought from Syria and India.

For centuries this dog has been used to protect herds from the Pyrenees located on Aragon and Navarre (I'm from here hehe)

They are perfect guardian dogs and if educated correctly they can also save people, they need to be educated because they are quite stubborn dogs and they don't attend to orders immediately

"Those guys are being a bother, let me show them who's boss 😈"

Gyuvin (Alaskan Malamute)

☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆

Alaskan malamutes are in general quite calmed and docile if they are educated well, if not they can become quite destructive and chaotic (which literally fits perfectly with guuvin lol)

They're also a little bit clueless but in general quite obedient and intelligent.

Specially domestic ones are a little bit dramatic and over the top (tik tok do be showing them like that haha)

It's an active and agile breed due to their size and their background (cold zones) but they are indeed really sweet and caring.

They tend to get bored easily and therefore explore the house, turning them into curious dogs that could cause some trouble due to their size 😬

Unlike huskys they are not independent and need constant company and affection, therefore they are also really protective, specially for kids (yeah him treating yujin like a baby is the only evidence I need)

They are too friendly so that makes them terrible guard dogs, they might become friends with the intruder 💀

If you thought that he was playful and clingy wait till you see him with his s/o, gyuvin can't be be separated from your side and he acts really goofy, like a little kid looking for attention

They were created by an Inuit tribe called the mahlemiuts in Alaska to help pulling sleds and to help hunting in extreme climatological weather (cold).

"Y/nnie don't leave me alone!!!! If you come back and there's something broken I will not be responsible for it 😡"

Gunwook (Samoyed)

♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡

The samoyed breed comes originally from Russia and Siberia, so one could think that their temper is cold and not close when in reality they are affective, sensitive and playful (the sensitive part is totally gunwook because on the show he cried a lot and he was really a good team mate 😌)

It is known for being an elegant, dominant and social dog that loves human company and although they are in alert a lot of times they don't posses a strong hunter instinct(I find this funny because I do see him like this, except when they played pranks on him and he fell for all of them 🤡)

They are gentle and pleasant dogs to be around, really intelligent with a bit of independence. When left alone for long periods of time their bark can be quite annoying, but that's just part of their alerting nature (totally agreeing with the intelligent part honestly and the rest as well)

Activity is essential in their lifestyle so they need daily exercise (gunwook is still young so he needs to stay active as well so yeah that kinda fits)

Also they have this thing called the 'sammie smile' that is literally the equivalent for gummy smile but for dogs and is literally the cutest thing ever (gunwook's gummy smile is adorable so it really fits him perfectly here 🥺)

They are really happy when they are assigned with tasks to do, so when gunwook met his s/o he always tried to find a way to be helpful. And if you ask him to do something he'd do it instantly :))

The samoyed are a really ancient breed used by Siberian tribes to pull sleds and guide reindeers. They came to England on the 19th century sometimes as presents from the czar of Russia.

"You called y/nnie? Do you want me to get you something?😊"

Yujin (Shiba Inu)

☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆

Shiba inus are generally timid and quiet dogs that are perfect guardian dogs due to their secretive nature, they watch over the house and notify of any possible danger.

They are intelligent, docile and completely reliable dogs, strong and bold (have you seen him, he's fucking strong for his age wtf?)

Their loyalty is also admirable (like have you seen the movie Hachiko? I know he is an Akita Inu but they are really similar, the only difference is that Shiba inus are smaller). However, they don't trust easily strangers, resulting on them protecting their own things quite strongly.

Also they are really stubborn so it is crucial to educate them well from a young age (him and gyuvin being playful with each other only proves more my theory hehe)

They are attentive, active and friendly dogs as well that tend to be more on the independent side (I know he's technically an extrovert but he's more on the calmer side so I do see him like that, but without leaving aside his friendships obviously)

When he met his potential s/o he really stuck with you, but not like glue because he's not that clingy. But he makes sure to be by your side when you need it and he really cares for them.

It is one of Japan's most ancient breeds used to hunt on mountains that dates back to the 3rd century b.c

They were about to disappear on the Second World War :((

His name divides in two: "Shiba" meaning small bushes and "inu" meaning dog, which kinda makes sense because they were used for hunting small animals that hided on bushes.

"Shouid we go to that cafe that opened recently?You really should take a break from studying🙁"

SPOILER

Opinion about Monkey Kid season 5...I liked it. I thought it would be 25 times worse. I hoped that Nezha would quarrel with his father or that his father would be a villain, but no. I'm wondering...Where the fuck is Nezha's remaining family? How screwed are they that they are stupidly not even mentioned!?

Father Nezhi reminds me of that same villain with that cockroach mustache. and this one sits in the corner of the room and goes like this:

The Season 5 poster is also weird. It’s as if our father is an evil physical education teacher, Nezha is the physical education teacher’s son with a release, and everyone else is students who are trying to survive.

When I saw Nyuva, my first reaction was: AAAAAA WOMAN. When my friend saw her his first thought was: Yes, I am a mother and I can dance. The first thought of other friends who don’t fumble around in decoy form: MOM

Nezha's father at this moment: And now I'll show you the house

The snake just exudes the vibe of a nobleman. At this moment he is like: Look at my cloak, peasants.

Sandy's hands have been broken all season, as far as I'm concerned. We also see Wukong crying...

Exactly! To save the world you need to collect the elements of HARMONY. Well, there will be a whole season with the My Little Pony vibe... well, it reminded me of the 7 deadly sins of anime.

Nezha flies away like in the Lorox. This is so funny.

Your face when you asked a girl for her number and she gave you her phone number:

I don't know much Chinese, so I won't say anything else hehe

[minsarasarahair]

JC antis not being able to move on from JC strangling WWX at his lowest point is so funny to me.

Because I'm reading Dage and we have a kid strangling the old lady/his grandmother figure... At least JC and WWX are at the same age range and somewhat close friends, a ruffian kid and a weak old lady is a different story lol

But if you know the context you'll feel bad for both of them. The context is old lady want to take away the kid's sister because she thinks the kid is a bad guardian figure. Old lady barely have relatives anymore and just want to protect her family so when she found her dead son's daughter, she want to protect her granddaughter from bad influence. Meanwhile, the ruffian kid is really trying his best to be a great guardian so he's angry when someone assumed his sacrifice is mere triviality for his siblings. His thoughts are "I sacrificed my own education to earn for my family even if I never get a bad grade and my teacher thinks I'm a good role model. I worked in a nightclub to beat people who make troubles but I never kill nor do any drugs there. I gave my savings to my friend to stop him from selling drugs for his mom's hospital fees. I made sure to watch over my siblings safety when a child r*pist is reported in our neighborhood. AND YOU'RE TELLING ME I'M A BAD GUARDIAN!? OLD HAG??!"

Like WWX and JC, no one died between them during the strangulation. Instead, they get along well after this lol The old lady finally understand the kid is the father figure of the house as she gets to know him and the kid secretly enjoy having an actual adult in their family because his deceased mother is always high on drugs so he's heavily abused in the past. I really love their relationship development. Sometimes these scene happened in the story to show character flaws. It doesn't have to be "Who's right? Who's wrong?" It can be "Both has a point and both are also wrong."

"Perhaps we should begin with a look at your winnings..." Regina said, not mentioning the call he'd just placed.

"Yes, I'm eager to see what I've won..." William said, although that was only half true.

William was far more interested in seeing Regina's reaction to it.

"Here we are..." She said, leading him to a room with a rather large wooden chest inside.

"It took several men quite a while to move it in here; normally, Rafe would just hoist it over his shoulder and trot it in, but..." Regina's voice fell off.

Shoulder...

William had managed not to recall the image, or the sensation, for a while, but it came back like a Plainsman's throw stick.

"Sorry..." Regina said, although it was quite obvious she was not sorry.

"Of course; just as I am for harming your chief source of income, as such, allow me to make amends." William said.

"Please accept half of the chest's contents as thanks; for saving my life and introducing me to someone that will be helpful for our team in the future."

That had the desired effect...

Money, then...

Regina's eyes showed the first signs of life...

"That's very generous of you, Mr. Stetman, that amount of money will be helpful for quite some time. As our circus grows, so does its expenses, and of course the salary issues."

William smiled, "Under better circumstances, I would happily donate the entire chest, but I have a feeling I will need some scratch too."

"Oh yes .. raw materials.. always a challenge. I can relate." Regina said.

"Food alone, both for the public and our employees, not to mention the exhibits..."

"But then, you'd know about that, wouldn't you, William?"

"Pardon?" William asked.

"The young man you brought with you to watch the match; he was accompanied by an Elf, which first brought him to our attention." Regina answered.

"We don't get many Elves; a few Dwarves to see the spectacle from time to time, but maybe one or two Elves a year, and never the same ones."

'We'... 'Our'... William was tempted to ask, but thought better...

...no use popping the spring...

"As if the Elf weren't enough, the young man that accompanied him, well, had a unique way of speaking, kids these days, not a 'Sir' or a 'Ma'am' in their vocabulary."

The Hunters, William thought, they wanted Soth to have as much education as possible, so they made sure he spent as much time in their library as he did on a Hunt.

"Then of course there's the build; if they weren't...well, what they are, they could really clean up. Isn't it funny when they try to suck it in, like a big belly, Rafe tries it and it's hilarious!" Regina giggled slightly.

... and there it was...

"He also put on quite the light show..."

"Yes; Soth is still quite young, and seeing one of his kind being injured by (careful) someone he works closely with, well ..." William said.

"Yes, they do have feelings, don't they, rather intense ones." Regina said.

(Easy) "Yes, they do..." William said.

"I imagine working so closely with one gives you insight on how they think and feel..." Regina said.

"I know it hurts, William, sorry about the armour, but you're clean now, and I can pour the powder in, it will hurt more than a little..."

"So...tired..."

"I know...I could..."

"No, Soketh, please, please..."

"It's okay, William, it's Soth...I'm going to get you into town, a good, proper hotel, you can rest, and recover there. The bad news is that it's a League dominated town; the good news is you can lean on my back for support when the townsfolk aren't looking..."

"You would imagine correctly (easy) but let's get back to our original conversation." William said.

"Oh, yes, I will have the accounting clerks count and divide it evenly; do you want to be present when that happens?"

"No, I'm sure you and your staff will handle things professionally." William said, suddenly sad that he hadn't defended his friends better.

Regina smiled...

...or, rather, her lips stretched into a smile...

"You can count on it..." Regina said.

... probably the closest she'll ever get to making a joke... William thought...

"I'll let you know when it's done; Tait's outside, probably hopping from foot to foot for you, you're staying with Rafe, right?"

At first, William thought about it, but he realized if he said no, it might put himself and Soth in danger, not to mention Joey...

... better to have two inhumanly strong people around than one...

"Yes, if we can..." William began.

"Stand the smell?" Regina asked.

"Yeah..." Wondering how many baths Soth had already taken.

"Well, at least I know where you are...you should probably go before Tait ruptures..."

"We'll speak again soon." William said, trying not to speed walk to the door.

Regina waited several minutes, then got her Scryglass...

"They know; you need to be more careful."

"I'll do my best," Kellon said, "but at the end of the day, I want him to know who it is."

"Can you get me more Brainflight?" Regina asked.

"Don't worry; your Kobolds will be tipsy by the end of the day tomorrow." Kellon said.

"Good..." Regina said, cutting the link.

Day 47: Abdicating Responsibility Instead of Self-Educating

Self - Honesty

Self-Expression

100% Self-Responsibility.

Not wanting to fix my own things.

Wanting to throw money at my problems.

Paying someone else to do it for me.

Rather than saving money and learning to do it myself.

Examples:

Making your own food

Doing your own repairs on your vehicle

Home repairs

Self-therapy

etc

Abdicating responsibility.

Victim programming.

Powerlessness programming.

I'm not smart enough programming.

School makes you think you're dumb.

Struggling in school makes you feel dumb.

Receiving low grades makes you feel dumb.

School instills a sense of hopelessness if you are not excelling in school.

And most kids do not excel, I would say 80% do not and 10% do okay and 10% excel.

I was definitely part of the 80% struggling.

I was a grade behind in school, so I was a a year older than all my classmates.

Held back in grade 4.

Due to my foster care situation.

So, even though I was a year older than all my classmates I still struggled.

And had to degrade myself to cheat off them just to pass.

Most of my schoolwork confused me.

Self - Forgiveness

Self-Realization

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to define my intelligence by my school experience which is so erroneous it's not even funny.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to believe that I am stupid because I struggled and received low grades in school.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to define myself from something outside of me.

I realize that school determines intelligence by how well your short-term memory is and as well as how obedient you are to the system.

I am proud to say I do not give a shit about memorizing things just to forget them later and even more proud to say I certainly do not give an iota of shit to be obedient to the system.

I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to see, realize and understand that all human beings have enormous potential of intelligence as defined by pattern recognition by building one's vocabulary by using #TechnoTutor which is why it is so important what I/we do in sharing this tool.

The most powerful tool a human being can have.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to see school and teachers, etc as the authority and superior to me.

Self - Commitment

Practical Self-Corrective Application

Action Toward Self-Change

Self-Creation

I commit myself to live the words 100% self-responsibility and not just pay lip service to these words because one must stick to one's words as the living word, otherwise you're talking out of your ass and not actually doing the thing.

I commit myself to show that with #TechnoTutor anybody can learn anything easily with very little effort and can have the confidence to take back authority in their life before it was beat of you in school.

Nothing outside should author your life, we need to take back the pen and return to AUTHORity of our life.

I commit myself to become the author of my life.

I commit myself to write my life how it should be which is what is best for all as equality and oneness.

I commit myself to re-define school as a place where the youth can hang out in a positive healthy environment and not a place of anxiety and pressure and stress and embarrassment and bullying, etc.

Check out John Taylor Gatto's work on the explanation of why school is unhealthy for a child/youth.

It was the complete opposite for me, I felt things before I even knew what sex was. I don’t feel like my parents taught me what was going on good enough, for some reason they just didn’t want me to know? They just told me to stop and acted disgusted.

It caused a lot of shame later on. I feel like we should normalize talking about this stuff earlier because it would save a lot of shame and trouble for people just trying to grow up

Sorry this is a bit late anon.

I think the funny thing is both of us grew up on different ends of the spectrum but have a huge overlap. I grew up with lots of shame growing up. Hence why I never really figured myself out until I was nearly 16.

We honestly need to normalize masturbation because there's still a weird stigma around it. It's people saying "it's ok to masturbate" but showing signs of disgust if anyone asks questions anywhere. It leads to it being such a "hush hush" topic and shaming teens growing up because of (especially parent's) discomfort thinking that their kid isn't a pure evangelical thing anymore. It's growing up just like they were and it also is gonna masturbate and have sex.

I think it's like to parents what it's like to kids being made aware for the first time that their parents are sexual beings and aren't chaste. It gets uncomfortable learning about this. Then you normalise it and it doesn't seem like a big deal that your parents have sex or that your family members are in sexually active relationships. You learn that people have sex and masturbate and need to accept that that's just a thing people do and that doesn't make them gross. It makes them like you. And kids and teens aren't excluded from this. There's nothing gross with masturbating or sex. There's nothing gross with you. We're all just people.

Obviously this audience is targeted at allosexuals and people who experience sexual attraction and etc. The asexual audience is a whole other valid topic to dive into.

Tl;dr

Yes, parents need to educate kids on anatomy and be very careful not to shame kids for masturbating as they get older.

There's nothing wrong with you.

[sorcerous-caress]

Witnessing you play pathologic 2 is such a fucking trip bc like?? I own both 1 and 2, but I’ve only actually played pathologic 1 and like?? How in the blue fuck do you have 15 shmowders????? I think I got like- 6 in my entire playthrough- I was not doing well with my quests tho so that probably contributed but??? 15??????

16 now just baught some from my buddy ol'pal dead items shop man on day 7

But if you want an actual answer

Shmowder kid

Find a building with shmowder kid in it, exist and enter until they have the shmoder in their inventory for trade. 10% spawn chance.

Rare cache farming

I save before 7:30 when cache reset. Then I go and check all the assigned "rare" caches with a chance of spawning shmoders, usually 3-6 each day. They're scripted so they never change locations. I reload until I'm sure at least two of them have shmoders then bag it quickly. 20% spawn chance per rare cache.

Rob people

You don't find shmoders, but you aquire nut funds for your shmoder supplier kid. Basically get the cape and all the protective gear, waltz into infected houses with at least 8 immunity boosters then go haywire and grab all nuts you can find.

Quests?

Only two give a guarantee Shmoders so uhh...maybe if you feel like it? I did them either way.

Here is my progress so far

I could squeeze 3/4 more shmoders out of my plug girlie, but I'm running low on food, so I rather trade them for eggs instead. Plus, I'll get 2 more when it hits 7:30 from caches.

I'm saving up for the shotgun! Maybe a revolver too idk.

I found out brewing antibiotics is annoying so I rather trade for them instead, but + immune boosters are a must.

The town so far is good, I gotta start repairing water sources.

I think Peter's infection is scripted because he had like 75% chance to NOT get infected, lost twice in a row when I reloaded.

Eh, he's not one of my bounds so Imma wait for Daniil to come begging on his knees for a shmoder.

Side note, Artemy is so fucking stunted when talking to women he is attracted to. It's almost hilarious.

Meanwhile, compare it with his flirting with men, and he becomes as smooth as silk.

Artemy is so down bad for Rubin it's sad and funny at the same time.

It's like a love triangle i can't. Artemy wants childhood sweethearts romance with Rubin, but Rubin keeps rejecting him for big city dandy educated Bachelor of medicine, but Daniil is tripping over his own feet trying to subtly (failing) to get closer and more intimate with hunky bottom surgeon Artemy.

Making us "indebted" to him.

Trying to get us to be his "Aide"

By day 6, we're drinking buddies. He even ADMITS how his arrogance hurts him and is a bad trait. IN LESS THAN A WEEK OF MEETING US.

DANIIL ADMITING A MISTAKE, A FAULT, BY HIMSELF AND NOT UNDER THE THREAT OF A RIFILE.

I'm still not over how he invites us to EVA'S house, doesn't tell her and doesn't inform the hunching brooding gaint Artemy that a soft hearted woman lives where he's squatting at for free and instead let her panic at seeing Artemy bust in unannounced.

"The milkman" I FUCKING CANNOT. Daniil is the roomate who's late on rent, keeps flirting with you to make you forget that he is late on rent, then his grinder date shows up unannounced.

Daniil is so much nicer than people made him seem? Idk, maybe I'm too autistic to pick up on his normie passive-aggressive condescension-which feels very in character for Artemy-but also, he just seems like a decent swell guy!

Kinda useless, but he's trying his best without time turning protagonist active player powers!

If anything, he's too friendly. He asks US to be his aide? Even when it's clear that Artemy didn't attend a single day in school all of his life.

Because let's be real.

"Where did you graduate??"

"Medical...school"

ARTEMY YOU DUMB BITCH I LOVE YOU BUT IT'S TIME TO BEG FOR SPARE BRAINCELLS ON THE STREET.

Daniil's "you don't have to watch your tongue with me" omfggggf

The sabotaged water sources must be getting to Daniil's head for him to act this thirsty in a makeshift hospital IN PUBLIC.

Artemy is clearly someone that Daniil would absolutely look down on MORE than he would to the average person, and yet how does he treat us?

Like what the fuck were those youtubers about???? Daniil is so nice oh my god. I had completely the wrong idea. He is so helpful and friendly, not once did I feel antagonised by him.

Also, I didn't insult him, ever. So he never replied with any insulting comment. You treat him with respect, and he does the same. It's endearing!

He entrusts us and confides in us! He clearly values our input and help. He vents to us and listens to our theories!

Side note, people's reaction to Artemy's height and gaint size is gold.

Also, I think they have a kink for his hands because of the whole surgeon thing, like come on, it gets mentioned TWICE?

there is also this time where Artemy had a nightmare that he was sleeping through class, and for some reason, Daniil was just ???? In the corner ??? For misbehaving?

He barely met the guy and he already figured out how 90% of his time in the education system must have went.

also Artemy REALLY likes cats and dogs.

First he calls himself like a Kitten, then he says Murky is like a cat and finally:

Artmey is just phenomenal in this.

I bought the first Pathologic HD Classic today, too! It was on sale for so cheap my god it felt like highway robbery.

See this loser wet cat kiddo right here?

I will behead every man, woman, child and elderly in this entire town with a rusty Axe if even one of them touches a single hair on his head.

Recurtains on Assassination Classroom

I first watched Assassination Classroom 6 or 7 years ago. All i remembered from it was an overwhelming feeling of bitterness. As i rewatched it yesterday, i found myself thinking "hey, this is not that bad" and "i've seen more anime now, there's a lot i wasn't able to appreciate back then". And yet, now that all is said and done, i don't feel any less bitter. The "overwhelming" part is what's changed, i've seen more premises squandered, more endings pathetically fumbled, especially in shonen. This sort of stuff is just par for the course now. But the bitterness didn't go away.

I actually think Assassination Classroom has good themes and overall narrative. Really good themes, in fact. Too good themes. "Children need to grow up and be educated in a safe environment where they feel they feel valued and are motivated by their own intrinsic interest", the whole "prepare them for life, don't throw them into it", it's great. It's incorporated in unique ways in most characters throughout the entire show. But… The show is called "Assassination Classroom". I came here to see assassination, not just some kids being overprotected by a benevolent omnipotent giant octopus. The entire reason why the show happens is that Koro decided "I'm going to stop killing and try to use my skills for good instead". If the kids are put into danger or risk too often, at some point the viewers would ask "aren't they going through this much danger only because Koro decided to teach them?" and at that point the themes would shatter. So the kids are only allowed to ever really use their training in a few select arcs, otherwise Koro or Karasuma are always there to single handedly save the day. By the second half of season 2 the kids are completely pulling their punches and aren't even trying to kill Koro anymore. So where is the Assassination at that point? They should've just called it "Classroom".

This ultimately culminates in the ending which goes by with the kids doing absolutely jack shit for the whole arc. Koro is cool, but he wasn't who the story was about. It was about the kids, about them getting picked up from a bad spot, discovering themselves and finding their path in life. And yet in that final arc they did absolutely nothing. Actually, they took down the japanese military, who were literally just guarding the perimeter and then they just watched as Koro battled a giant monster all by himself. They didn't even cheer for him or anything, just stood there, mouth open, thinking "damn, we suck". The only one who tried anything was Kaede who went "yo, watch this" and then immediately got impaled with almost comedic timing. Congratulation Kaede, you at least tried. The bad guy's entire motivation was just being an asshole, and then, when he got beat, Koro just laid down and let himself be killed. Just so the kids can say "we did it". I think it makes a lot of sense for his character that he would just let himself die, but the problem is for the kids who've been complaining the whole time that "it just ain't right" if someone else kills him without them getting to prove themselves, only for him to die with basically no effort of their own. It's a disgusting ending.

Despite this rather shitty finale, overall Assassination classroom was... fine. It did well characterizing such a large main cast in the time it had, even if a few slipped through the cracks. The animation was efficient, the OPs were unique. I watched the dub and the voice acting started a bit scuffed, but quickly improved to be pretty good. It seemed to have a lot of rewriting work behind it and didn't hesitate to drop some "fuck"s and "shit"s and a lot of "bitch"s, which is always a pleasure to my swear-loving ears. Also, the principal was super funny. One of his teenage students said "you should be nicer to your son" and he answered by taking off his vest and saying "fight me". Bro is a riot.

Tier list of how characterized each classroom member is:

*Glasses guy gets basically all his characterization from the extras

no way is that Kipton Bowen.. they’re a 20-year-old SYNTH notoriously known for being Conformist & Repressed but there are some people who have seen them being Cooperative & Supportive. if you ask me, they remind me a lot of going on daily runs, chewing on pencils, and highlighted passages, but that could just be because they’re considered the Academic Athlete around town. just keep an eye on them & see if their true colors shine through..

Pronouns: he/him

Orientation: questioning

Maybe I've done enough

And your golden child grew up

Maybe this trophy isn't real love

And with or without it I'm good enough

----

Kipton is the second and only synth child of Kyle and Darcy Bowen.

Their older sibling having been born when Kyle and Darcy were 19 and still just dating.

The decision, not only to have another kid, but to build a synth, was not one that was taken lightly, and took time saving up for.

Eventually they had enough and Kipton came to be.

Named after his mother's best friend that had passed a few years prior and had been like an uncle to Kipton's older sibling.

His dad thought he was being funny with the suggestion for his middle name, and it was only after winning an intense game of Uno that it officially became the choice.

Kip started showing interest in hockey at a fairly young age. The parents first taking advantage of discounts at the local ice rink or birthday parties where the hosting parents had taken care of everything as ways for Kip to learn to skate.

As time went on and he was more than decent at skating they started to look into programs that were offered, still doing their best to stick to free or discounted ones. It was never anything fancy just ones that taught the basics of the sport and usually lasted only over a couple weeks.

They bought second hand equipment, but Kip didn't care. He just liked being out on the ice.

Seeing his dedication and love for the game his parents took to saving up money for him to be able to start playing on youth hockey teams. Many of these years even managing to get to play on one of the scholarships offered by the organization.

As the years went by Kip only got better and better something that didn't go unnoticed.

Before he was even a senior in high school he had scouts coming out to watch him play.

At 19 he became one of the rookie picks for a nearby team that played in the ECHL.

Kip has had his plate full for a long time with both hockey and school. The agreement with his parents had always been that they would find a way to help him keep playing if he kept his grades up.

This never left much time for a social life outside of the two.

Even now he has trouble with it, though he's been making some progress.

As much as he loves the sport, Kip does know it's not something he can do forever, and isn't even sure he wants to play at the NHL level. This is something he hasn't really expressed to anyone, especially not his parents, not wanting to disappoint them or make them think they wasted all that time and money on him.

Is currently working towards getting a degree in Elementary Education
