rating Parahumans guys on how well I think they'd be as parents

Brian: I think Brian would believe he is a great father, but there is too much repressed emotions and depression in there to properly care for and raise a child. 3/10, Not particularly good.

Alec: Alec has lacked a real positive parental unit in his life, and while I don't think he would purposefully be shitty to a kid, I think he might fall back on what he knows from his own youth. Might be a fun older brother though. 3/10, needs to focus on himself first

Danny Hebert: Too sad about his wife dying to properly parent. no further notes. 2/10, Danny please get it together Taylor is relying on you

Armsmaster: Would rub off his worst personality traits onto a kid, resulting in them being the average r/malelivingspace user. Might also encourage child to grow poor facial hair. 1/10, I feel bad for whatever unfortunate soul is consigned to this fate.

Coil: Coil would be an absent father for 90% of your childhood, unless you were useful for his plans. In that case, he would feed you drugs or some other unethical thing and make you work for him (child labor (bad)). 2/10, conditions are poor but you might get to meet some of the other children he has, fixing the playdate situation.

Kaiser: See in story results. -5/10 Nazis don't make good parents.

Uber and Leet: They come as a package deal obviously, and they are actually pretty okay parents, they aren't great obviously but they aren't tremendous failures either. That is until you show up on one of their livestreams and then you are the laughingstock of the school. 4/10 Don't upload your kids online.

Scion: Too sad about his wife dying to properly parent. Also not emotionally available. 1/10, get it together man people are relying on you.

Mark Dallon: Not necessarily a bad parent, but he has a laundry list of problems that he needs to work through before he can begin to think to focus on his kids. 3/10, he's trying by god. He's not doing good but he's trying.

Number Man: He would probably respond to any question his kid asks with some weird philosophical math metaphor. Is a killer cook though. Also math classes would be a breeze. Unfortunately, most of his time is dedicated to cauldron. 5/10, grades will be great.

Accord: The worst type of helicopter parent. He would make itineraries to follow any time his kid went out and would require them home in pristine condition super early. Has a rigorous study schedule and puts a lot of pressure on you to succeed, and you know he wants whats best for you but like its stifling and you aren't really living for you but for him. Sure grades are good but you just can't do it anymore. 4/10, the depression and GPA are soaring.

Jack Slash: As seen in Worm, he is an absolutely killer parent. Has a fun family vibe? check. Engages with his children's interest and allows them to pursue it? check. Keeps his child intellectually and creatively stimulated? check. Takes his family all over the country to see new exciting places and people? check. Dude is simply top tier on the parenting skill. Sure the family dynamic is a bit unorthodox, but when the results look this good can you really argue? 10/10 Jack Slash has got it going on.

Because of recent things, if anyone is not very fond of me because I'm friends with Meangreennunseen after their DEI post thing, can people reply or DM me so I know to unfriend? I'm sorry, it's just it seems like people are somehow blaming me too, or lumping me in with it, when I don't have anything to do with it, nor do I really remember the post in question.

[tambourineophelia]

she did NOT put Patti Smith's name in the same song as some of the cringiest lines I have ever heard, tell me she did not

[alkenetalks]

Watching a video on the Twelve Man Tapes and the commentor (because bro is not an essayist) is like "oh shit man I agree with the animatronics" 😐🧍‍♂️ Tell me you aren't actually into fnaf without telling me you're not into fnaf. Because like. Anyone with a modem of understanding the tragedy of fnaf would already be sympathetic if not On The Side of the animatronics Haunted by the souls of Murdered Children.

[soupergoulash]

The thing about my dad is that I do wanna love him, he's my father after all

But it's so difficult to love someone who was doing constant emotional blackmail about how he wants to die for years, like fuck me man

[straylaughs]

is jype so obsessed with upholding their image that they'll get see us complain about years of them not doing a thing to protect skz and then just decide to copy and paste a statement for ALL of their groups/artists about protecting them bc they can't deal with any amount of criticism so they gotta do whatever their idea of good damage control is

[vanderdyks]

I geniunely cannot stand when allistics try to say Resident Alien is actually making fun of autistic people because they believe Harry is too childish now because I JUST-

In the beginning, Harry tried SO MUCH HARDER to fit in with the humans around him. He mimicked their speech patterns, consistently observed them, emersed himself in their activities so they wouldn't suspect he was different.

The Harry now? He doesn't care. He's loud in places he should be quiet. He talks how he wants. He laughs FREELY. He's learned large crowds of people? Not for him. He doesn't like being touched by strangers.

He's just Harry. Himself. Because he can be. Because he's realized even if some of the people of Patience find him strange, it doesn't matter. They'll never guess he's from outer space.

Have you noticed that every other alien we have seen is not like Harry? Not the greys, or the half human hybrids, not even Heather. When Heather is around humans who know she is an alien, we get to see the difference, but when she isn't? She fits in so well with any other neurotypical human.

Not Harry though. So yes, he is autistic because I said he is. Because I am autistic. And if you're allistic, you don't get to tell autistic people they shouldn't headcanon Harry as autistic (even though it is very obvious they're purposefully playing him as neurodivergent now.)

When you take an autistically coded character that a lot of autistic individuals relate to, and try to argue the character is actually a "child" and being "infantalised," you're actually being ableist.

You're saying that the traits we have resonated with are childish... Harry seems like he's "regressed" because instead of trying to adapt and pretend to be human, he is becoming something else entirely. Not human, but not fully alien either.

The body of doctor Harry Vanderspeigle was once just a disguise. Now it IS Harry's. It's his body, his own skin. And he's gotten comfortable in it and you know this because you deliberately witness times where he might be holding his hands like he would his claws (primarily when he's sleeping.) His brain doesn't realize he's not in his normal form, because in many ways, this is his new normal form.

He has emotions. He cares. He's in completely new territory and finding himself. And in doing so, that carefully crafted human mask? It's fallen a bit.

So that thing you label as "regression" is a thing I label as progress. He's learning still. Let him learn. Let him be. And give it time. And I hope to GOD Harry never becomes fully human to the point we can't recognize him. I hope he never loses his unique inflictions, or his love for pizza and pie. I hope he continues to love the quiet. I hope he ALWAYS laughs obnoxiously. I hope he always runs like he doesn't know what to do with his limbs. I hope you always see his emotions throughout his body because they simply cannot be contained. I hope he continues to jump when excited or pace when he's angry. I hope he stays obsessed with Law & Order forever.

Because if you take all that away, you're taking away the bits that make him Harry. You want a carbon copy human. I want the autistic alien struggling to understand human nature.

That being said, of course you can express your opinion him. And it can be discussed because everyone is going to have a different perspective.

But you don't get to dictate an autistic perspective if you are not autistic. Or try to cancel anyone for it either.

I love Harry. And I relate to him SO MUCH. And I love how much representation I can see him through him for me. Because I personally believe Alan and the writers have chosen to keep presenting this character as ND.

It's okay to dislike the direction of his character development. It's okay to find the flaws. It's okay to share that perspective. What's NOT okay is dictating the feelings of others because they might not agree with you.

I don't find him childish. I see him as an autistic individual trying to navigate a society that his brain hasn't been hardwired to understand.

And if you think he's too childish, please look closer at the why you think he is. Really be introspective on this one.

Because Harry is a parent. And has a child. And he has relationships. And he takes care of himself. Not only that, he is the town doctor and takes care of everyone else too. He is the smartest. He is the strongest. None of the characters have had to worry about the wellfare of Harry specifically. Its why no one realizes the greys have captured him. Because of course Harry would be fine, hes the alien expert. He knows what he's doing. So while everyone else spent so much time worrying about each other, no one was left to worry about Harry.

So ask yourself why you believe Harry has become "too childish" and if your answer comes down to any of his quirky traits or his misunderstandings of human nature, then you really need to consider if what you're actually uncomfortable with is autism/autistic traits.

Hello again! I hope you are well! If you don’t mind I would like to request some headcanons please! Could I get the Gehenna and Avisos demons with an MC who laughs at the dumbest shit? (Basically they’re that one bitch who will laugh at a video of a bowl falling down the stairs— definitely not based on me at all) If Gehenna and Avisos are too much just Gehenna is fine. Thank you so much! ❤️

WHB demons s/ an MC who laughs at the dumbest stuff

⟡ Masterlist ⟡ 

A/N: Hi! Hope you're doing well too ^^ Also I literally do the same thing so this was really fun to write :D

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

Satan

Depending on his moood he'll either laugh with you or kick you

You will most likely have to explain what exactly is funny about the thing you're laughing at

But still, if he doesn't get it, he'll laugh anyway

Sitri

Poor confused baby

Doesn't get it, but for him it's better to have you laugh than have you cry

Sitri's the type to just smile politely and and wait for you to stop so you two can get back to what you were doing before that

Amy

"Huh? Okay..?"

Amy's the type to get angry that he doesn't get it

And once you explain why it's funny, he'll just hate it cuz it's so dumb

Still, there could be worse things you could be laughing at like Sitri's jokes

Leraye

"Oh? Ahaha...!"

Leraye does this too

He'll probably be the one pointing the funny thing to you

A real mutually beneficial relationship

Paimon

Another confused baby

But, instead of a polite smile like Sitri, Paimon grins

If it's something happening irl, they'll record/take pictue of it so other demons online can have a good laugh too

Belial

Loves the sound of your voice

Also, Jiyu's gonna laugh too and it's a compeltely different laugh from Belial

Belial will even bring up the thing you laughed at when he wants to hear your laugh again

Astaroth

"I'm afraid you'll have to provide me with an explanation, Y/N."

Won't get it even if you spend too long to explain it

But at least now he knows what type of humor you like

Too bad since he doesn't get it, there's no way for him to use it to his advantage

Zagan

Just as always, his expression is hard to read

But there is an underlying smirk

Zagan is kinda hard to come up with something for him

I geniunely don't think he'd even acknowledge the situation

Beelzebub

If you thought you're easy to make laugh, I present you the king of Abyssos

This man chuckles to himself for no reason

So if you actually have a reason to laugh, he's laughing along with you

Bael

Another demon, who doesn't really get it

But hey, at least you're a nice ray of sunshine to breakup all that paperwork

You light up the room, y'know?

Stolas

Just like Amy will get angry he doesn't get it

Might even escalate to threatening you with his gun

Protip: "You're too young to understand" is the worst thing to say in this situation and will definitelly result in death

Naberius

Yeah, Nabe is another one who just politely smiles

His type of humor are elaborate anecdotes from books

To be fair, Naberius doesn't really even get memes so good luck joking with him in general

Amon

He's most likely asleep, but if you wake him up with your laugh, he'll laugh along too

This simple humor is right up his alley

It doesn't require much brainwork which is kinda cool too

[ranbling]

I'm sorry, but fuck everyone who says "buddie shouldn't happen because of how their fans act/buddie happening would be rewarding fans for their behaviour and i don't want that".

Tommy stans have been sending me hate since ep3(!!), i've been called homophobic for pointing out Tommy's canonical backstory, there are multiple accounts here thinking woman shouldn't have opinions and being misogynyst towards fans. You can't point out geniune racism and fatphobia LFJ displayed and never took accountability for 'cause you're only calling it out to be a hater. They've been calling for the death of Eddie so Tommy can play father figure to Chris, but if you say Buck and Eddie co-parent then you're an idiot who doesn't understand what a coparent is.

Going by your logic Bucktommy should break up, because thats not a behaviour you should be rewarding. Or does it only apply when its threatening your half of the ship, the toxic generic white man?

(i'm soo sorry about this rant btw, i just saw too many of this take and had go get it out of myself)

[kanohivolitakk]

Controversial take: I don't think Greg realized what he was doing by giving Nidhiki a "tragic backstory" and internal monologue.

For those who don't know, Greg has a few times stated he doesn't view Nidhiki sympathetically, instead viewing him as a selfish prick who only cared for glory and power. While not completely unprecedented in text itself, Nidhiki's orgins from Tren Krom Peninsula and his internal monologue in Birth of a Dark Hunter throw a wrench into this. Thanks to these elements is easy to symphatize with Nidhiki, and view his actions as not a mark of selfish assholery, but rather pragmatism and desire to survive. Nidhiki betrayed his team not because he was a jerk, but because for him it was either that or death. Nidhiki ultimately chose the act of cowardice, self preservation over the greater good. It does make him somewhat repulsive, but still sympathetic character for the readers.

So, Greg probably didn't realize the ramifications of what giving Nidhiki internal monologue and a backstory would do. He probably had the backstory just to explain why he is so shady and untrustworthy of others, and the monologue because it was from his perspective. What he didn't realize was that because of how they're executed, they imply more complex traits to the character. It is really easy to understand Nidhiki as a survivalist moreso than a selfish glory hungry jerk because of his upbringing, and to read his desire to be a hero as geniune than just a desire for glory. I don't think Greg completely failed portraying Nidhiki as a selfish prick (Nidhiki has a tendency for blaming others for his misfortune over realizing his own faults contributing to the situation, which is something selfish people tend to do) but he still comes across as far less selfish than intended.

[proshippers-against-censorship]

Hi, I'm just here to let some steam off if that is okay.

I got a blog dedicated to a character who is a villain and I geniunely don't understand why antis are drawn to it. Oh? This fascist character who commits mass murder and attempted genocide is your "scrimblo"? Why is this character your "scrimblo" as an anti?

Since consuming and liking "icky and degenerate" fiction/characters makes anybody "condone those actions irl"

Wouldn't this mean that loving this character makes you condone fascism and genocide by your own rules as an anti?

Make it make sense, antis.

Your arbitrary, inconsistent and hypocritical rules never seem to apply to yourselves.

It's only bad if it contains sex, didn't you know?

[eashgirl]

Elita ships! Especially tf one Elita,Explain the appeal I don't know how random or controversial I wanna hear them out.

Huh?Is this about that brief mention in my StarWaveWave post. But ok I don't mind she's my recent favourite so I geniunely don't think there's a single "bad" ship/bad as in a ship I don't like on some level atleast. Because more love for her right?

Oplita is my favourite ship for her though because they're the couple ever since g1, I like the mutual trust they have for eachother and their varying differences in leadership, in tf one there's kind of a clash between her pragmatism and his idealism and I find that really interesting. If we do get a sequel their relationship could be explored a lot more from building the Autobot faction and learning to trust one another more, Earthspark and Tf One may have my favourite dynamics between them ngl, Skybound has the angsty part of her wanting to protect their planet and Optimus wanting to protect Earth and this putting them at odds. It's just a classic like MegOp, they could geniunely uplift eachother in a healthy way, also it kind of felt like Orion was hitting on her during the mining scene low-key.

While my friend and I were joking about it we did come up with other random ships I actually find quite interesting/funny.

Megalita/Deelita

I ship MegOpLita so it's pretty much a given that I would like this ship too, I think they might have gotten along better than Elita with Orion at the beginning since D-16 was the one who typically stayed out of trouble, their conversation in WFC trilogy was also a bit of the reason why I think it's an interesting ship he tried to convince her if she was a better leader than Optimus he'd consider joining her side and she said he'd never even make the team. Earthspark has the three of them be like an old married couple and that's kinda cute whether you ship them as friends or not. Because to me shipping isn't just about saying I want certain charecters to kiss.

ChromeLita.

I think Chromia was like her right hand bot in G1 alongside Moonracer and Firestar, they haven't interacted much ever since G1 but I think it's still kinda adorable, there could definitely be a layer of mutual trust and understanding, they've been comrades for a while so I think it's a good ship, underrated tho, I might write a fic for them someday.

Shocklita

I have actually shipped them quite a while before Tf One came out, because of Shockwave's reaction to Elita and her army in g1, just the mere notion of female Autobots being alive was enough for him to short circuit, that and the idea Elita and Shockwave were the higher ranking officers stationed/left on Cybertron so the enmity/rivalry could be either appealing for it's toxicity or just for funsies. Shockwave is really only shippable for me depending on which version of him we are talking about really. Her punching him into submission in TFO was funny and I think that relationship could be kinda cute in concept even if I don't see it happening. The fun thing about ships is who cares about canon just do what makes you happy, ships like these I don't really want it to be canon I like living in my own bubble.

StarLita

Honestly there is literally no reason for me to ship this besides the fact they are my favourite characters,and for comedic purposes I read a surprisingly good fic about this so I find the concept funny, they're both second in commands, and have opposite personalities, it she can snap Shockwave out of his delusions she can do the same to Starscream they'd hate eachother lol but I can kind of see him finding her the most tolerable(as if he has much room to speak)out of the quartret. But it's still a funny ship, and also weirdly underrated they have interacted I think in several continuities,another guilty pairing I may write a fic for someday. The rivals appeal is there.

Arceelita

I have no idea why I ship this besides me seeing a cute fanart of Arcee fangirling over Elita and looking up to her.

AirLita could be appealing to some people too but it's not really something I ship tbh.

Her and Slipstream could be cute too, I ship this purely because of the TFA Blackarachnia/Slipstream ship.

You asked for random ships you got it.

I wanna know ur wallmark divorce headcannons so bad

okokok. i had to type these all up separately so i could organize my ideas. i have like more in my head but they're hard to put into words so this is what you get

cw for alchoholism and general relationship issues. putting it all under the cut. remember these are just my headcanons and thoughts, nothing concrete.

General issues

Conflicting ideals on future life- Wallter being much more of a city guy, while mark prefers a rural setting.

Communication issues- Instead of talking things out they get accusatory and defensive, which means most talks end up arguments.

Further communication issues- They geniunely cannot understand the other half of the time. Wallter will attempt to be subtle in his communication, dropping hints instead of just flat out saying what he wants. Mark cannot pick up on these. Mark's direct communication sometimes comes across as rude and aggressive to Wallter.

General conflict- They have some shared interests, but there's also a lot of things that are important to them that they don't agree on. Like building materials, however silly that might sound.

Mark's issues

Alcoholism- Bit of A drunkard. He insists it isn't an issue but it is when it interferes with plans he and Wallter already had. "It would be weird if I didn't have a few with the boys after a job well done!"

Short-tempered- Which causes even more arguments over small things. (Def not physically abusive toward Wallter, even when drunk)

Abrasive personality- Mark would be more likely to make jabs or meaner jokes because he thinks everyone can take it. He wouldn't understand why someone would get upset over a joke.

He snores really loud- To the point where Wallter usually can't sleep. It builds tensions between them cus either Wallter is sleep-deprived or they never sleep in the same bed.

Dismissive- Wallter will ask/tell him about something that bothers him or something he wants as a gift for a holiday, but Mark usually won't listen.

Oblivious- Won't pick up on hints that Wallter drops, no matter the context.

Wallter's issues

Grey stuff. Wallter loves it, Mark loathes it. They argue over it.

Petty- Incredibly petty. Will make snide comments at Mark when he's upset about something.

Silent- He doesn't help at all with the communication issue, because he just flat out won't say anything! Until it's a big issue, of course. He might make hints but Mark cannot pick up on them.

Insistent on his own opinions- He will often push Mark to think like he does, instead of accepting their differences. It gets frustrating for Mark when he's constantly having to defend his thoughts.

Pretentious- Would absolutely try and take the moral high ground during arguments. He thinks talking in a level tone and not shouting means he's in the right, when really he's the one instigating most of the arguments.

Jealousy- I think he'd be the jealous type. He'd interrogate Mark about his friends and question his honesty often.

~~

I don't think there was one thing that caused the divorce, but a buildup of tension and frustration over the years of their marriage that was never managed. i think they both wanted it to work, even afterward, but neither of them are willing enough to see their issues and work on them. Even then, they kind of ruined the idea of a life with one another because of how horribly their marriage ended.

anyway these are just my initial thoughts on the two. enjoy!
