@vitrumbra

"You did not see what I did, did you?" Popping claws and maiming some mutant hater was not something she wanted anyone to see.

[emmatriarchy]

She wanted to skip and saunter, but that wouldn't be very sneaky of her. She treads carefully in the woods, stalking some krakoan beasties, trying to figure out how to pick up one.

She doesn't want to kill it, so it has to be something relatively peaceful that won't thrash around when she is bringing it back to her dad.

She ends up finding a small animal that resembles a bunny - long ears, fuzzy tail, and while a little skittish, it was not aggressive.

She chases it around a little as it grows tired, and she is glad she didn't take Jonathan with her as he would probably get it worked up in a frenzy. After a while, it lays on its side, panting and tired.

She picks it up and cradles it in her arms, happy with the outcome of her hunt. She walks back to where she left her dad earlier, expecting to find him with some big game.

She probably has lost, but she had fun and that is what matters to her. She proves that she can hunt - although she doesn't kill anything without cause. In her opinion, catching a beastie alive is more complicated than killing it and lugging its corpse around.

Aw, just look at her. So ready to take every challenge head on. Was enough to make him proud already - that was his girl, alright. He can smell the excitement roiling off her and it helps put him at ease - makes him anticipate what's to come, too. 

Even if it isn't what she expects of him. What she doesn't know won't hurt her. 

“Good luck, Gabby.” He says, sticking one of his hands in his pocket. He waits and watches her go, swallowed by the foliage. He waits, tilts his head, listens. Once he's satisfied she's a ways a way - and started on her hunt - he turns and strolls off in the opposite direction. Once he’s far enough away that he can’t hear her footsteps anymore, Logan finds himself a good oak tree and hunkers down for a nap. He’d give her a real challenge later; right now, there was no point in proving he could out-hunt his teenage daughter, especially when it would only make her feel lousy about herself. 

Besides, he has important business to attend to behind his eyelids. 

Namely, counting sheep and figuring out his most believable ‘aw darn, you beat me’ line. 

Real important stuff.

@maximummuses asked: "It's a very bad idea, Gabby." (from Logan)

"It's an idea so bad, it becomes good," she counters, a self satisfied smirk on her lips. "C'mon, live a little!" She cheers, pulling out her phone to show him the ridiculous tiktok trend again. "You have nothing to do. Just stand there, and I'll just walk across the screen doing weird dance moves. Your only role is not to laugh."

The princess, utterly captivated by the rain, seeks its embrace in the garden whenever storms arrive. As the heavens pour down, she dances gracefully, her eyes closed, imagining a prince stepping from the mist to join her. A soft smile plays on her lips as if he were already there. She has given herself the name 𝘡𝘦𝘱𝘩𝘺𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘙𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘢 𝘝𝘢𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘢, reflecting her bond with the rain, though you may simply call her 𝙍𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙖.

Born beneath the late March skies, she carries the fiery spirit of an Aries, her extroverted nature shining through. Her heart finds joy in the company of cats, music, dramas, and films, while Township weaves itself into the fabric of her daily routine. Yet, there are many horizons she still seeks to explore—immersing herself in books, nurturing her body through exercise, learning the art of cooking, swimming with grace, and refining her appearance. She thrives on the connections she makes, ever eager to engage with others, expanding her knowledge with each new conversation.

Her timeline hums with lively musings, where tales of Jang Wonyoung, IVE, RIIZE, and Dreamcatcher dance through the pages, and glimpses of her beloved cats appear like scattered stars. Her playlist is a treasure trove of melodies, filled with the harmonious beats of TWICE, IVE, Dreamcatcher, GFRIEND, RIIZE, and the ever-enchanting Taylor Swift, accompanied by other K-pop gems. She welcomes anyone who wishes to share their own melodies, eager to blend new sounds with her own.

Perhaps some of you have forgotten how we crossed paths, so I've crafted a list of moments from my life in another universe. I haven’t documented everything, just a handful of memories that linger in my mind.

"You should!" she exclaimed, setting down the hot glue gun and lifting the glasses to show Luna her handiwork. If the girl wanted something changed, she would do it in a heartbeat.

"I can help you set up a plan. I'm sure they'll be thrilled. Eventually." She nodded slowly with her lips pursed, like a sage dispensing wisdom. "Adults suck when they don't get along for the people they do care about. You're the kid. You asked for none of this."

Luna puffed out her cheeks a bit, sighing. At least she wasn't alone with the strange family dynamics. She couldn't quite relate, but then, she didn't expect Gabby to relate to her family weirdness. It didn't even really faze her that Gabby admitted to having died once. Her own father had nearly killed her exposing her to Terrigenesis. It was all relative.

"I do have a birthday coming. I could demand everyone play nice for a day." She smiled a little. "Maybe?"

Has Gabby ever done the fastball special?

// I can’t recall if she ever did it in canon. 

She sHOULD. Though she lacks the weight to gain a real momentum at this point in her canon. 

(Surprisingly, Marrow HAS. They called it a Fastbone Special) 

[emmatriarchy]

OP's tags: #gg og#logan howlett#sniktfam#& like obviously kitty and jubilee Are logans kids and they are not Less logans kids that laura and akihiro#but logan doesnt look at them and see himself#this is one of the reasons i find the dynamic between laura and jubilee as sisters more compelling than the dynamic between them#as friends or partners#like that thing remy tells logan in x23 10. about how laura can see that logan treats jubilee differently than her#(read: more like his daughter)

something i frequently find difficult to convey is that logan taking in and parenting any kid except the ones that are inarguably his is something that i as a reader/fan actually really like and wish was explored more, either in canon or in transformative works. if i wanted to read about a dad that was consistently a good dad, and good with all his kids, frankly, i'd look for a different family to read about!

Gabby/K 54 (Doesn't have to be romantic)

“I think you should stop.”

The words break through the dark silence that had settled over the foyer; glazed hazel eyes meeting compassionate green. Even though there was no judgments housed within them, K couldn’t help but feel their throat constrict in shame. Anger and humiliation briefly flares through their chest because of what Gabby was witnessing.

“K?” Their voice is closer now, a familiar body settles on the floor beside their hunched form. “Why don’t we get you to bed, okay? I’ll make you some breakfast in the morning and we can talk if you’d like.”

There won’t be any judgment here, K muses. Because we’ve both danced with the devil in the dark. They’ve just been doing it for longer than I have.

💪 to Gabby... Dad is Worried :(

The way Logan touched her face... did he know that her scars were the way Alchemax differentiated the sisters? Did Laura tell him? Because Gabby never talked about that. About the way her scars had been the way to identify her until she was the only sister left.

Bellona was in SHIELD custody, and she had no idea how to get her back, so she stuck by Laura's side until she could get a solid lead on how to break into whatever secret SHIELD facility Bellona was kept in.

Logan touching the scars reminded her of that, of her goal. She doctored her face expression, and replaced the sadness with happiness. " At least you won't think I'm Laura, even when I grow up! " she tried to sound flippant and cheeky.

[emmatriarchy]

She knew he loves burning things, which is why she brought it up when he started saying the weird stuff she couldn't really follow. Too whimsical even for her.

"Let's go!" she cheered, adjusting her hero outfit. Jonathan ruffed at her feet, ready to go too. "Killing people is bad! Especially when they just want their medicine." A pause. "We should also burn some big pharma headquarters. That dude who hiked the price of a life saving medication just because he could should suffer."

"I love burning things, Tiny Wolverine. There's a place making counterfeit insulin thats killing people. It's been on my 'pro bono for when I'm feeling sad and need to beat someone's meat' list, I'd love to see how well that place burns."

colorism in the rpc, especially with regards to filipinos (and southeast asians in general)

hello! thanks so much for letting me do this, and thanks so much for making the rpc confront its own prejudices or biases. i wanted to talk about something that’s been bothering me for the longest, longest time, as a southeast asian who is considered darker. (i’m not dark-skinned by western standards but i am in asia.) the sad thing is that i have been talking about it, but no one listens. i haven’t seen the rpc make a change. funny, that.

let’s start by talking about how southeast asians are so painfully underused, unless they’re mixed with white. i suspect that much of it is because southeast asians = east asians in people’s minds. no. we southeast asians systemically face discrimination and abuse from east asians. do you know that k-pop idols, such as sooyoung (of girls generation) and tzuyu, who may have slightly darker skin are often called compared to “ugly” southeast asians? that ur fav tzuyu is one of the most conventionally beautiful k-pop idols but she’s still slung with hate because she’s known for “looking southeast asian”? that whenever sooyoung is praised by netizens, there’s bound to be a “whoa, she evolved from southeast asian” comment? that crazy rich asians by kevin kwan, based on his own experiences as a chinese-singaporean, describes chinese-singaporeans as being disgusted by ugly, dark southeast asians? that being southeast asian is an insult to many east asians? rpc realize that southeast asians are not the same as east asian challenge. that we deserve representation too and that east asian or half-white se asian rep will not cut it.

now i’m going to be talking a bit less broadly, though i’m sure people of other southeast asian ethnicities could probably relate to this too. why are the only filipino faceclaims the rpc uses half-white?

i just wanted to preface this by saying, of course biracial people are valid. biracial filipinos are not white, they are poc. but at the same time, when the only ones y'all gif and use are half-white, something is up. something is UP. especially when THE most famous actresses in the philippines right now are NOT half-white and they’re usually on the darker side. (idk why but most of the famous filipino male actors are lighter but that’s just the status quo rn; women usually experience colorism worse than men). note: keep in mind these women i’ll show you tend to wear light-colored contact lenses bc they’re pressured to concede to eurocentric beauty standards in some way, even if they get to have their natural complexion.

THE most famous actress in the country, the so-called “box office queen”, kathryn bernardo:

one of the other top famous actresses in the country, nadine lustre:

some of the other famous/rising actresses with lots and lots of giffable clips online:

and so many more! and many of them, such as gabbi garcia and kate valdez, have literally talked about being discriminated against for being darker-skinned! and yet they succeeded. and yet the rpc goes out of their way to find b-list, c-list, and d-list actresses like bela padilla and julia barretto to gif, even when bela and julia have a very public history of colorism/racism. here’s bela and julia, two pale actresses mixed with white, who the rpc went out of their way to make resources for, posing with or in blackface and brownface:

yeah, that’s right. to many pale-skinned half-white asians, darker-skinned native asians are just shadows to step out of. please remember this is the message you are perpetuating when you ignore asians who aren’t half white and/or have skin as pale as dahyun from twice.

i know this is “just rp,” but we’ve established by now that writing affects real life too. i am so, so, so exhausted of feeling like i’m the only mun in the rpc who thinks of using filipino fcs who actually have any color to their skin, such as gillian vicencio. i’m tired of playing daniel padilla muses and getting ignored. (funny thing is that daniel has like a quarter white ancestry too, but i guess he just popped out too southeast asian-looking for the rpc’s liking.) this never happens when i play cis, white muses, lol.

i’m tired of the rpc only using james reid, kelsey merritt, liza soberano (who also has a VERY public history of brownface btw! just so y'all know this about your fav “safe” half-white filipino girl), and christina nadin and thinking they’re doing something to promote diversity. i’m tired. i’m tired i’m tired i’m so so so exhausted. PLEASE do better. PLEASE. the actresses i mentioned ALL have plenty of tv show + film clips on youtube. they have interviews. there is no excuse. there is no excuse!

maybe someday i will see faces like kathryn, nadine, gabbi, kate, maris racal, khalil ramos, mccoy de leon, and donny pangilinan in the rpc. maybe someday.

GABBY DEMANDS PIGGY BACK RIDES FROM EDWARD K I DONT MAKE THE RULES

[renee-writer]

Redemption Chapter 63 New Year's Eve

“So Gabriella, what do you guys do for New Year’s Eve?” Two days after Christmas and both are adjusting to the reality of their engagement.

“We eat a bunch of junk food and watch the ball drop. I usually have to wake Evie to see it.” She tells her fiancée. Fiancée! The word and reality still freaks her out when she thinks about it.

“Would you like some company?��

“Well, it would be nice to have someone to kiss besides Evie.” She replies, smiling at the thought that she would have someone to kiss from now on. It speeds her heart in joyful anticipation.

“I am definitely available for that.” He pulls her close and demonstrates.

“Six weeks!” Gabriella thinks to herself as she prepares for New Year’s Eve. “Six weeks. I will be married in six weeks!” Her shakes a bit at the thought.

“What's wrong Gabby?”

“Nothing. Why?”

“Cause you almost spilled the chips. Your hands were shaky.”

“You are quite observant.”

“Huh?”

“It means you notice things.” She explains. “I was just thinking about how I will be married in six weeks.”

“That’s a good thing. Why are you nervous?”

“There is just a lot to get done.”

“Oh. Can I help?”

“Thanks sweetie. You are by helping your Aunt Jade.”

“K. I like helping. And I will do a good job spreading the flowers.”

“I know you will bug. You will be a good flower girl ever.”

“Yep. Is Aunt Jade coming tonight?”

“Yes she is.”

“Cool we can talk about my dress. I have some ideas.”

“I bet you do. Would you do me a favor and carry the chips out?” She hands her the bowl.

“K Gabby.” She takes it and heads towards the living room. Gabriella watches her with a smile. Oh how she loves her baby sister. She couldn’t love her more if she was her own. She sighs as she pulls the soda and sparkling grape juice oit of the fridge.

That was the real reason she was nervous. Not motherhood. She is beyond ready for that. It was just how she would achieve that vaulted status. Marriage and all it implied. She knows the basics, not completely uninformed. She just wishes her mom was here to talk to. She knows she and Eli will figure it out. But, having another woman to talk to would help.

“What are you thinking about so hard?” Jade's voice interrupts her musing.

“Oh hi Jade. I was, ah thinking about marriage.”

“What about it?”

“The you know, details of the marriage bed.” A blush covers her nrck and face.

“Gabriella Olivia Grant, are you telling me you are a virgin?”

“Yes. Of course.”

“Of course. It would be assumed. That is what you are saying?”

“Well yes. You aren't?” She realizes what her friend’s reaction means.

“No. Not sense Derek in 11th grade.”

“Derek really?”

“Yes really.”

“Jade, why in the world didn't you tell me!”

“I thought you knew. Okay. You have concerns. Sometime, when we are alone, I will address them.”

“Thanks Jade.”

“How’s my baby sister?” Gabby and Jade hear Eli address Evie.

“You're fiancée’s here.”

At the sound of his voice, Gabby's heart goes into overdrive. She and Jade pick up the bottles and head out to greet him. They find him and Evie having a conversation.

“Lace. I like lace and Gabby says I can help Aunt Jade design my dress. And I gets to scatter flowers in the church.”

“You will be a beautiful flower girl.”

“I know.”

“She doesn’t have much of an ego.” Gabby says.

“Not much.”

“The ball comes down and then it is a whole new year.” Evie explains to Eli later that night. She sits beside him sharing chips and dip.

“Yes it will. The year of your sister and I's wedding.” He is talking to Evie but his eyes are on Gabriella.

“Uh huh. And Gabby says there's a lot to do. That's why she is nervous. But, Aunt Jade and I gots the dress. What else is there?”

Eli softly laughs at Evie's single mindedness. “Well Evie, there is the flowers, cake, songs, dance, and a honeymoon destination.” Jade answers her inquisitive niece.

“Oh

What's a honeymoon?”

“Oops! Should gave seen that one coming.” Eli thinks. All three adults look at each other, unsure how to answer her. Finally Gabriella speaks up.

“A honeymoon is a place and time for the married couple to get to know each other.”

“But you know Eli?”

“Yes but, well, we will be getting to know each other as husband and wife.”

“Oh okay.” Evie is accepting but the conversation had brought her mind back to her earlier thoughts and a blush covers her face. Eli sees and reaches out to take her hand and give it a squeeze. A reassuring gesture that reminds her that they are in this together. She smiles and squeezes his back.

“What kind of flowers do you want Gabby?” Jade directs the conversation back to wedding details and leaving the honeymoon discussion and all it implies until later.

“Roses for myself and daisies to honor mom.”

“That will be beautiful.”

“Now you know Eli since you are the only guy here, you must kiss us all.” Jade teases as the hour grows closer to midnight.

“Okay. But only Gabby on the lips.”

“Deal.”

Gabby shakes her head at her best friend. She can't believe she lost her virginity and didn’t tell her. She can’t wait for the details for several reasons.

“When do we wake Evie?” Eli asks. She lays asleep across their laps. He smiles down at her as he reaches out to brush her hair away from her eyes.

“At 11:50.”

“In twenty minutes then. Gabriella, where do you want to go on our honeymoon?”

“I really don't know but somewhere close. I don't want to be to far away from Evie.”

“Oh, you don’t trust me?” Jade feigns outrage.

“Of course I do Jade. It is just..”

“I get it. Was just teasing.”

“Close,” Eli thinks aloud. “We could get a cabin in the mountains. Take advantage of the fact that we live a few hours away from the Smokies.”

“That would be perfect.”

“Okay. I will make arrangements as soon as the holidays are over. Valentine's Day is a busy time.”

“Right. Thanks Eli.”

“My pleasure my lady.”

“Hopefully both of your pleasures.” Jade says with a smile.

“Jade!” Gabriella is horrified.

“Well it is true.”

“But..”

“Did I miss the ball?” A sleepy Evie asks from Eli's lap.

“No bug. Was just getting ready to wake you.” She shuts a dirty look at Jade who just shrugs. Eli pulls them all a glass of the sparkling grape juice to toast the New Year. Evie sits up to take it.

“How long until the ball drops?” She asks, unaware of the underlying tension in the room.

“Four minutes twenty seconds. See the countdown clock?” Eli directs her attention to it.

“Oh. I see.”

They sit, Gabriella and Eli cuddling with Evie as Jade sits beside them. They watch the old year fade away with every tick of the clock.

“Thirty seconds now. Want to count down with me?” Eli asks Evie.

“K.” They count it down.

“Happy New Year!” they all call out together, clicking their glasses. Eli soundly kisses Gabby before kissing Jade and Evie on the cheek.

“I can go to bed now.” Evie informs them.

“Okay bug. Come on. Don't go anywhere Jade. I want to talk to you.”

“Yes ma'am.” She replies. “I think she is mad at me.” She says to Eli after Gabby and Evie leave the room.

“I think you are right.”

“I was just teasing but I shouldn’t. I know she is nervous about it.”

“Is she?”

“Oh yah. I didn’t know. I wrongly assumed she wasn’t.. well that she had experience.”

“Oh. Oh you do.”

“Yes. It shocked Gabby too. But maybe I can help with some of her concerns sonce her mom isn't here.”

“Yah maybe. I can talk to Mike.” Eli thinks aloud.

“Well darn. You too.”

“Yes. I was raised to wait.”

“Wow. Two virgins. That’s kinda cool.”

“We think so.” Gabby says from behind them.

“Hey. Look Gabby. I was teasing. I am sorry if I upset you.”

“It os okay. I just well.”

“I know. It is a sensitive subject. Do you want to talk about it?”

“Not tonight

It is late and..” She trails off, loath to admit her other reason. That this was not something she wants to discuss in front of Eli.

“Ah gotcha. So, Roses and Daisies. What kind of cake do you want?” They discuss wedding details for a bit before she heads home.

“Are you really nervous?” Eli asks her.

“Well yes. I know the basics. But?” she bites her lip and gets quiet.

“Right. I am in the same boat

We will learn together. We have the must important things. Mutual love and trust. We will figure out the rest.”

“Thanks Eli. You're right. It will work out. I am so glad to see the New Year in with you.”

“Me too baby. And every other new year.”

“Sounds good to me.”
