Like actually in general my parents never just. bought me video games unprompted. I listen to Scott the Woz talk about his parents buying him games and Nintendo Power subscriptions just for no reason and I'm like. ?????? Families do that?

"Unhand me!" The stabby robin shouted just before Danny deposited the colorful vigilante onto the floor of his parents' lab.

The bird boy was back on his feet in an instant and had he weapon drawn, glaring at Danny as if he were the source of all his life's problems. "Whoa, whoa, hold on a minute." Danny spoke up, hands raised in mock surrender, "I don't wanna fight!"

"Then why did you kidnap me?" Robin tracked the boys hand as it moved to rub the back of the teens' neck.

"Well, ya see -" the teen said nervously, "I saw how nice you were to that ghost bunny, and you hid it from Batman."

Robin tensed, "Are you blackmailing me?"

"What?! No! I wanted to ask for help! Somethings wrong with my dog!"

h-how do you ever finish any of your work? genuine question because you seem to be productive despite your agreste syndrome and I need to learn your ways. but also how do you ever finish any of your work

unclear. last night i stayed up and finished a report worth 25% of my grade at about 5am, arrived on time for my 9am lecture, and spent about half of it zoned out while thinking about seventeen year old emilie agreste. and i was one of the most active participants in the class discussion

zomg... the girls! Sketched out! And a few characters I never showed designs for! haha! I keep thinking about the beach, so this is their swimwear.

I hope to make a full fledged drawing for all of them soon~ then the guys~~

Some newbies are: Aura (blue!) Katya (Gold!) and more of Verra (Green!) We'll eventually see more about them as I draw more things and doodles.

I'm prepared to be completely wrong, but I was always 98% sure Mother didn't kill Fadel's ex. I've always thought he was a hired test from her that Fadel passed and this last episode strengthened my belief on that.

This got long, oops, so behind a cut it goes. lol

Like that man was sketch as hell. He was with Fadel for twoish years but didn't know what his job was? And I don't mean hitman, but even a fake job? Fadel gave him NOTHING for two years because when he said they could finally leave he was like ...why does working with your mom mean you need permission to leave and love? And I'm supposed to believe he stayed with Fadel for two years while his only explanation for work is "I work with my Mother. My Mother you don't know and won't ever meet." Like nah. That man either didn't actually like Fadel, because he didn't give a damn about his life, or he was working for Mother the whole time.

And I'm pretty sure he was working for her as a test for Fadel. His questions about what Fadel's job was and who Mother is reminded me of Style desperately trying to get Fadel to confess at the metal show. The difference between them being that we know Style wanted to know so he could tell him to not do the hit without betraying Kant, whereas his ex just wanted to know for random reasons, I guess? After two years of not caring, he just really wanted to know? When they had concrete plans to leave so it didn't matter at that point, especially when it didn't matter for TWO YEARS already? Nah.

I think Mother hired him to test if Fadel would turn on her if he had a chance to leave (and by turn on, I mean just simply telling the truth about being his Mother's hitman). I already consider it a fact that she killed the parents of three boys to make them her personal attack and guard dogs she would emotionally beat into thinking she cared for, so hiring a dude to fool her "son" for two years wouldn't be anything, especially since he was still killing her targets during it. I think once Fadel made concrete plans to leave, the ex tried to see if Fadel would spill about not only being a hitman, but being Mother's hitman. And when he still wouldn't tell that man ANYTHING, he reported it to Lily who pulled him out because Fadel's loyalty was now never going to be in question (his ex clearly wasn't his 100% because he didn't tell him about Mother and if he didn't get told despite Fadel planning to leave with him in like a day, no one would) AND he would be emotionally shut down by getting ghosted. Which would, and did, make him the perfect loyal gun for her.

Keen also fits in on this because he would know Mother hired Fadel's boyfriend and that's why he was taunting him with it. He so desperately wants to be the favorite, but he knows he's not, so he took what little hits he could get and called Fadel a fool for thinking his ex loved him. And while Keen isn't close like Bison and Fadel (though I do wonder how close they actually are because as the show goes on and we learn more, they really don't seem that close themselves, but that's for another post), he was still raised with them in Mother's Family after his parents were murdered in front of him as well. I just don't think he would taunt Fadel with a murdered ex, especially when he himself now has a secret boyfriend he wants to leave with.

Which brings me to my belief that the hitman Mother told Keen to call from two years ago is Fadel's ex. I think the plan was to play Fadel to test his loyalty and if he failed, he would be killed. Fadel didn't fail the test after being with his boyfriend for two years, so that hitman didn't kill him but he clearly wouldn't have had an issue doing it. So now she wants to bring him back to kill Fadel (and Bison) because he is compromised now (because of Style, and Bison, and even Kant) and she wants it to hurt. Which can also explain why Keen, who should be happy with this because Bison and Fadel will be out of his way, was still clearly conflicted about everything while in bed with his own secret boyfriend. Because it would be insanely cruel for Mother to bring back Fadel's ex just to have him kill him.

But what better way to make it so your "son" knows his entire second life has meant nothing and he was just a pawn manipulated, used, and discarded then having his cherished ex that abandoned him without warning after two years come back to kill him?

♡⃣ v a l k y r i e ’ s simple affection is shown by…𖥔 ˑ ִ ֗ ִ ۫ ˑ 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ

….basking in your presence. mika is content anywhere as long as you’re the person beside him. running errands with you goes beyond being a favorite pastime of his, it’s a genuine honor of his to be allowed to spend the most mundane hours of life with you. holding your grocery bags while talking about the colors in the advertisements you’ve seen in store windows, making up names and stories for puppies seen tied to cafe tables outside, predicting the weather, discussing how intelligent humans are for inventing things for even the smallest of inconveniences—in the silence between topics mika thanks that god over and over again that someone could love a half broken product like him. he feels truly blessed by you, especially if you find the right time to rub his head or scratch under his chin. in the small times you spend together, he blushes so much around you that you begin to believe he really is just a cherry cheeked kind of boy

….pinching your cheek and clicking his teeth. only you can hear the care in shu’s nagging, the softness in his correction. only he can see the hair on your head that’s out of place, the tag sticking out of your shirt. brushing a hair out of your face while your hands are full, fastening your necklace for you after you’ve fumbled with the latch for a minutes or so, retying your shoes for you mumbling about how childish you truly are—shu can’t admit it but he really does enjoy just taking care of you. you’re a precious artifact to him, something that needs delicate hands and a proper home. taking note of the colors you wear often, the times of year you sneeze the most, the kind of drinks that you cringe at, whether or not you enjoy the guitar and if he should find ways to incorporate into his work..even in his own little world, there remains a spot for you. somehow you’re approval has also become vital to his projects, knowing you believe in his genius gives his a sense of pride like he’s never felt when he’s done this alone. after so many years of safe and cold porcelain skin, shu never realized how strong his craving was to feel something so warm and inviting until now

From the people who brought you: "Android detectives can't cook!" comes the concept: "Hank has a horrible food palate!"

i think growing up is just life repeatedly sucker punching you and saying bitch you thought things were gonna better lmao no you're so naive and stupid for having hope in 20 years the world will be flaming bag of garbage and no matter how hard you work you'll get eliminated at some point

[aliusfrater]

related to my lrb but i said it like three posts ago. people on here looove to treat spn gifset excerpts as inherently severed from its context. the conversation i just rbed literally includes dean relating this couple's dynamic to his and sam's... but the gifset excerpt doesn't include dean's line about it and so half of the notes somehow made it about dstiel (and extended it to samleen of course)

[wolfertinger]

Can you explain the misuse of funds a bit more? I thought he's using the money to escape from his abusive household but if what you said is true then god that's scumbag behavior

this is word of mouth so it should be taken with a mine of salt.

"

anon for safety, cannot provide ss sadly but salem used his kofi money to buy a dildo. plus hes asking about fursuit shit while apparently needing all the money to escape home or whatever. fucking liar

"

i can comment to remembering in the past when puppy would e beg, such as claiming their mother would throw them out when they reached 18 only for them to become 18 and nothing happened. several times i remember them begging for money to eat. then posting massive amounts of mcdonalds (this was the context around the infamous pups gotta eat post. just to give you an idea of the amount of food bought). salem has never had to truly mature so it is not at all a stretch to say he has no money management skills.
