this is basically what happened, right?
(these guys are very lucky that everyone at NRC 1) has the combined intelligence of a sack of bricks, and 2) is easily distracted by shiny things.)
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#stage in playful land#stage in playfulland#these two are SO sleazy and i am utterly delighted by them#can't wait to find out their tragic backstory in approximately 3-4 weeks!#fortunately i have like a month to figure out how the heck to draw their hair (spoiler: i will never figure it out)#also. god. i love it whenever leona accidentally reveals his Mom Side.#he doesn't care about any of this but he WILL be tagging along to make sure no one else gets into trouble#once again he has to be the Responsible Adult and he hates it. the whimsical hat weighs heavy upon his head.#anyway this is me so excuse me while i now talk about diasomnia for three hours#but lilia being all 'kids gotta have some adventure in their lives!' is hilarious#specifically because you know silver would NEVER.#100% silver not only never snuck out but he always went to bed on time AND brushed his teeth AND flossed even when nobody made him.#lilia: aww but you should be enjoying your youth! >:c#silver: i am. i enjoy being respectful and disciplined and honoring you as my father.#lilia:#lilia: maybe i'm TOO good at raising kids#you know i was going to say none of his kids would be involved in this but i actually think malleus definitely would#he would not see it as a moral quandry though. he would just be excited to be invited along.#(the only reason he isn't there is because he was busy admiring a termite-infested beam somewhere and yuu didn't get a chance to ask him)#i mean MAYBE if lilia as his single authority figure told him no then he would have some reservations#but lilia's the one who's screaming HELL YEAH LET'S SNEAK OUT AND DEFY AUTHORITY while dabbing so moot point there#sebek would never and he would rat on everyone else. unless malleus is going in which case he's already there.#and i guess if everyone else is going silver probably would too#but he'd. y'know. feel conflicted about it.

buffy's thoughts at an given moment: i love giles so much but he's not my dad and he doesn't love me like i love him and what if i fail him and he finally leaves me?
giles' thoughts at any given moment: i love buffy so much and i know she cares about me but she shouldn't i'm a bad person and i'll just end up hurting her. she's better off without me.
and then they never have a single conversation about it. just rinse and repeat until season 6 when giles actually does leave.
#anyway this is what happens when you put the two most emotionally constipated people alive in a room together and hope for the best#that said giles is the adult in the situation and he is far more responsible for this being the dynamic than buffy is#buffy summers#rupert giles#btvs#buffy the vampire slayer

I find it deeply depressing that every adult in Spider's life had children, yet he was never anyone's priority. every adult he could and most likely attempted to match in to. the adults he remembered as the closest things he had to parents since birth (Jake and Norm, even if they weren't acting as his parents, because Spider, genuinely, would not know better). down to his actual foster family (the McCoskers). essentially went out of their way to de-prioritize him.
like I'm not faulting them for having kids, for having a family. but Spider was their first priority. he didn't need to be adopted by any of them, per say, but he was their responsibility. he was their orphan, Jake especially, considering he was the chief of his people, but Norm as well, seeing as he's a prominent figure head of the clan/Hellsgate.
the McCoskers took him in, but over the years, as they had their own children, he was more and more neglected. he was now no longer his actually appointed guardians priority. and that only gets worse and worse as he ages until they become outright abusive (Nash does anyway, cause thats what I'm gonna call violently kidnapping his, throwing him in a room and locking him there, and trying to kill all of them, him included, when they run away. as abuse. and I'll get back to the whole "you have to turn yourself in to the RDA" x2 speech from Jake in a second). they also didn't really accept his culture. with their resentment towards the Na'vi brewing, Spider most definitely faced some heat for being more of the forest than of humans, in terms of culture.
3 times over, Spider came first and was put last. put last by parents who know damn well how much love, time, care, and attention a child needs. who should be able to see when a kid is being neglected. who dialed to advocate and protect him from neglect (instead of calling him a stray).
he was a child and they were his advocates. all three parties failed in their duty as advocates, to protect Spider. to ensure he always had a loving home that made him their priority. that fulfilled all his needs, not just the physical ones. but all put their own families first, and abandoned Spider to the scraps of their love, time, and affection.
imagine being Spider, an orphan who can't even mention his birth parents and is always treated like he is the physical rebirth of his father's sins by half the people around him. every adult in your life has kids and seems like they're such a good parent. you watch their kids being loved and tended to and having a steady home. they receive love and affection constantly. but your fosters pay less and less attention to you as they have babies. and now your a stray to the man you look up to so much. and the man who probably taught you how to put an exopack on has less and less time for you. no one has time for you. you're no one's child. no one's priority. just a stray. a nuisance. and you don't truly belong anywhere.
no one was putting him first. children need to be someone's priority. psychology. they need it.
and then the RDA returns. the McCoskers leave, Spider is expected to leave everything he has ever known, to join the very people he hates and has been trying so hard since he could understand what it meant, to prove that he wasn't like them. Jake, the man he once looked up to, was telling him to leave. sending him away. stripping him of the little amount of family he could somewhatly claim, that being his siblings.
once again, Jake is his chief, should be looking out for him. not even as a father, per say, but as his duty to Spider as his chief. a chief should never be sending away his most vulnerable ward, a child he should consider his own (as all of his clans children should be one with his own children), to the opposing enemy force.
this happens again when they're running away, Jake tells him ever more directly to hide in the forest alone until the RDA stops shooting at everything that moves and then turn himself in so he can his own children could run. once again, putting him last, instead of protecting all of them.
then for a year, Spider has no family. no one. the McCoskers are gone and no one has stepped up to bat for him. he's 15/16 and alone. his the big sibling to the Sully's. those kids are all he has, but they aren't really looking out for him. he's looking out for them. cause he's the oldest. that's just how it is. he is one with the clan. lives with them. does chores. watches out for his siblings, the whole nine. but Jake isn't doing his duty of watching out for his ward. he is once again giving and giving and giving, and not receiving.
and then he is taken, he is taken, and while Jake may not have had the means to go back for Spider, or been able to take the risk of going back for him, he abandons him without a thought for his safety, and puts his children first. it's the language and attitude be poses towards the situation that is wild to me. he has every right to be worried about his children, but he could not spare Spider an ounce of concern, even knowing the danger he was in, and is more concerned about him spilling details then anything else. Spider is, once again, not his first, second, or even third priority. he is a means to an end. a necessary loss.
people only care about Spider when there's nothing else they can put before him.
#to put a long story short#I am upset that every adult in Spider's life could have and care for their own kids#but could not look out for Spider#not even saying that they needed to be his parents#but they abandoned him. every last one of them. and no one did anything to protect him.#no one made him a priority#individually. no party is directly guilty. but the fact that they all watched it happen and didn't do a thing. didn't even notice.#makes them all guilty of one thing or another in my mind#Spider didn't deserve to have every adult in his life dodge responsibility over him#I always thought Norms kids were adopted and it genuinely made me hate him since I read the comics. that he adopted kids but not Spider.#I am still mad. but less so.#its still frustrating that. but I get that raising bio Na'vi kids snd a human child would be rough.#I feel the same way about him that I do Jake#Spider was. even if he wasn't their adopted child. their responsibility first. before they had children.#seeing as there positions of power/having a human body/etc. made him his advocates and caretakers.#and they failed him when they chose to have their own kids and that became a catalyst for Spider being all but abandoned by them#because even with foster guardians. Spider need people looking out for him to make sure he was actually being taken care#avatar 2#avatar the way of water#spider socorro#miles spider socorro#miles socorro#avatar#avatar spider#spider avatar#I didn't include Max in this cause we don't know enough about what he had going on for me to comment.

Say what you want about Jace, but he's definitely self aware about his behavior.
#he's joking around and being a shithead but he's kinda on to something here#like. there's a big difference between logical understanding of a situation and emotional response to it#he knows that he and maryse are both adults who should talk and settle their conflicts rationally#but he wants to be a kid who throws a fit until mommy comes back to comfort him#he wants to be her son#the shadowhunter chronicles#shadowhunters#tsc#the mortal instruments#city of ashes#jace herondale#clary fairchild#maryse trueblood#maryse lightwood#clary fray

thinking about ortus in HTN talking about how he failed harrow in her childhood. thinking about ortus as maybe one of the few 9th house adults that could have stepped in to support her and maybe also one of the few that saw the cycle of abuse for what it was - he knew why his father died, and even so he hated his father, was willing to leave the 9th - but in life, he failed her. and like i wonder how old little baby cavalier ortus was when he realized that something in that house was just rotten. and i wonder how lonely it would’ve been all those years, alone with ancient fanatics and 2 abused children ortus was too weak and afraid to save. i mean, until harrow puppeted her parents, he was going to have to marry harrow! and there was nothing he could do! so he retreats further into his poetry. only after death, only when it was too late, only when harrow was grown up did he have the bravery or maybe freedom or maybe distance to finally step forward.
#he’s so terrible and so human and i love him and the noniad so much#the responsibility of being an adult and designated protector versus the shadow of the role that killed your father#all he could have done was fail!#ortus nigenad#harrow the ninth spoilers#tlt#the locked tomb

i'm seeing videos on tiktok about the crossover (which yeah my first mistake is being on tiktok) but it's making me feel crazy when people keep saying "dennis should not be allowed in a school" specifically implying that he's a threat to children any more than the rest of the gang who have a worse track record
Bad Dad but a dad nonetheless
#being a dennis fan is suffering#literally how i feel on a daily basis about everything 😭#ha ha he's just a sociopathic predator with no morals who definitely did not choose to leave to go be a father to his son#with the specific intent of breaking out of the cycle of generational trauma and give his kid a better childhood than he had#like he may be a terrible influence but kids like him LOL#gives back and water park are the only examples you need#but there's also frank's little beauties#he's the fun uncle and he always has been fhsksjfjf#he hates the responsibility of being an actual father but he's not a threat to them in the way these people think he is#the funny thing is that even an ep like risk e rats shows that he's Fine around kids because he has the best boundaries#compared to mac or charlie who revert back to being children themself#den's way more of an Adult to them even if he's incredibly immature himself#new wheels demonstrates clearly how much of a threat the rest of the gang is to kids and dennis is. doing his plot. hdsjnsjf#ask ada#i could say More but i should be saying Less#dennis is a threat because he's teaching them how to steal more effectively#not for. the reasons i keep seeing.

The thing about Jiang Cheng is that he’s not any different from the type of person who will claim that his parents divorcing during his childhood ruined his life while neglecting to mention that the reason for the divorce was because one of his parents was abusive. Was it wrong for him to want his parents to get along as a child? No. Was it wrong for a young Jiang Cheng to not view his mother as a terrible person? No. But 30+ year-old Jiang Cheng, guardian of a small child, himself, has not only failed to realize his mother was an abusive partner and parent, he has internalized her parenting skills and worldview as admirable, completing throwing his father’s teachings and the legacy of the clan whose name he bears to the wayside. That’s not sympathetic!
#mdzs#other than when he’s throwing his father’s death in wwx’s face#when does jc ever bring jfm up as an adult?#when does he ever reflect on jfm’s teachings?#cause he will constantly mention his mother being ‘right’#about the shit that confirms his own fears and insecurities#but he won’t ever bring up jfm telling him that he must be responsible with his own words and actions#wonder why

Wolfgang is honestly such a funny character cuz he's literally the biggest and most openly passionate feminist in the cast (probably even more so cuz of his mum and her work) while also being the biggest and most obvious example to point to when it comes to his male status being a very probable contributor to what allowed him to lead and thrive more easily and without as much judgement in ways his female peers are unable to (Diana and Eva).
Also something something about him being so emotional and enraged about the unrestrained violence committed against Cara and believing that "killing a woman is the worst thing a man could do" when it's theorised and seemingly implied by his hallucinations that his father-- the man he resembles so heavily-- murdered his mother.
#project eden's garden#p:eg#p:eg spoilers#wolfgang akire#when you are so against the problem while simultaneously benefitting from the problem XD oh the dilemma#also something about him being so utterly disgusted by male violence against women when he ended up attacking diana in his drugged state#like father like son in the worst and most unintentional and unfairest of ways if that theory is true. jesus#i saw someone say that if wolfgang had given diana's speech instead the cast would've ate it up and. chat. i'm afraid they cooked#that's kinda debatable cuz that trial ended on such a sour note that i'm not entirely convinced even wolfgang could salvage it#but he'd have a greater chance at getting a better response from the group than diana did and i think that's undeniable#to be fair i think being an ADULT man makes it easier for people to follow him than teenage girls but you get the point i think#also something about him being romantically involved with a woman who has to deal with a shit ton of misogyny in a male dominated field#also also i have some thoughts on wolfgang's parents and his hallucinations and their dynamic and i'll get to that soon i promise#anyway i love you wolfgang my feminst king i'm gonna miss you so much ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ#momento rambles

While Loki may be up to some shit, I still trust him. Honestly, I'm just a sucker for a Loki with a soft spot for Peter. But also, Peter & Dick made it sound like the only reason Peter was trusting Loki was because he was from Peter's worldline, BUT that's completely dismissing Peter's spidey sense which has declared Loki a friend.
Like, that's important!!!! The sense doesn't just react to who Peter trusts either, bc when he was cautious of the bats his spidey sense still labelled them friends. I'm pretty sure that while Loki is definitely up to something, he doesn't mean Peter any real harm. Especially since the spidey sense only seems to call those who want to help (and probably hold some form of care for) Peter friends. I trust the spidey sense more than anything.
If I'm being honest, whether or not all of what Loki said was true, he does have a big point on that they didn't and don't tell Peter crucial information. I'm a big advocate for actually explaining to kids WHY they should not do something rather than just telling them not to. Like, y'know, Peter's whole misunderstanding with why the avengers don't like Loki.
Keeping Peter in the dark is a terrible idea. Especially since as a super powered, mutant, vigilante he'll need to actually know things. I always like these sort of conflicts in texts, where an adult's wish to keep a kid ignorant for their own good actually endangers them. Like in the Harry Potter books, when Molly tries to keep the kids out of the Order meetings, despite it directly affecting Harry and in conjunction the others. (Harry is kept ignorant of most things in those books and it does NOT help). People should know of threats and dangers to themselves in detail, ESPECIALLY KIDS. Peter deserves to be involved in "adult business" because it directly affects him.
ANYWAY,, thank you for another great chapter!!! I love Loki he's such a little shit and so is Peter. They could be besties.
!!!!! 👀
Loki's definitely up to something, but you're pretty damn closes anon!! Peter hadn't picked up on it but a big part of his trust was that his spider sense hadn't felt a danger around Loki at any point. He's just upset about something. But Loki definitely has his own goals in mind and it might still cause a rift
As for the Avengers (teehee) I feel bad because they were definitely supposed to talk about it this chapter but I didn't have room. There's a lot in play about the adults wanting to keep Peter safe but misinterpreting 'safe' as not knowing the larger details about what they're doing. It's the root cause of the problem here. However in their defense... Peter got kidnapped and experimented on last time when he learned a big detail like that. He found out someone he cared about died as a result of these kidnappings, and he went looking for them on his own before he was ready. Peter will talk about this in chapter 17 when he tells Dick pretty much his entire life story (in a game of 21 questions again). It'll also be clear to the reader why they'd be nervous about letting Peter know about Loki... He lost his first foster family to the Battle of Manhattan. And Peter has a habit of going "punch first, figure out later." (Pulled that habit directly from the comics)
#that being said you are SO RIGHT ANON#both about how peter DOES need to know even with the risk#and about molly#tony is doing his best with this whole parenting thing#he's gonna figure this out the hard way#but MOLLY??#she made me SO MAD in that book#as a kid i KNEW that harry should have been there#it only proved more that the adults around harry were directly responsible for what happened to him#as in they led Harry towards his death#except dumbledore and snape were the only ones who KNEW that were doing that#Molly was trying to protect them from the horrors of war but it led them to becoming the horrors#erinwantstowrite#ao3#ao3 fanfic#leap of faith ao3#peter parker#leap of faith catch me if you can#leap of faith#thank you for the ask!#dick grayson#loki#chapter 16

Man, I want shapeshifter cap SO BAD.
I want to see a Billy that really leans into the wonder of the world, the million paths a child could take in their life.
I want to see a Billy that wants to try everything, at least once.
A Billy that looks at all the people who spit at him, deride him, pity him, dismiss him, ignore him, because he has no future, no prospects, a child in the gutter and say no. I'm going to grow up to be whoever I want to be.
And a captain marvel that says you're going to be amazing.
Billy taking the premise of captain marvels form - his ideal self, a blank slate for Billy to paint his bright colours, the person he wants to be deep inside - and dialling that freedom up to eleven.
A dancer, a dinosaur, a train conductor, a tiger, an ice cream maker, a butterfly, an astronaut, a shark, a college student, a Tamaranean, a mouse, a scuba diver, an elephant, a doctor, a moose, a race car driver, a dog.
A child wanting to see the world.
If you want to find captain marvel, well first you've got to try his comm, probably a couple times.
Then you've got to go to fawcett, hope he's there and not saving the yetis from a salamander invasion in a different dimension.
You've got to ask around, because it often goes by word of mouth here, no matter what technology you bring. Don't worry, it'll spread very quickly, but if you're in a hurry you can find his commemorative statue and leave an offering. No one knows if it really works, but it's a good way to pass the time and feel productive.
Soon, a face will peel out of the crowd. It's always familiar, but it's never the same one.
Wait for the flash of lightning in a cloudless sky.
And then you will find captain marvel.
#dc comics#captain marvel#dc captain marvel#billy batson#I really want to see tawny introducing Billy to the wonders of a highly malleable form#He's a kid! He's dreaming and imagining! He's got a thousand lives ahead of him!#Also just the image of the jl hunting down cap for smth and coming to a dance studio#And seeing this person who does not have caps body but is indubitably cap look up in surprise#Like he's a young man just out of teenage hood with a slim and lithe dancers build. Red male leotard with the lightning bolt on#Billy at this point is like 11 but as long as they never connect his human form to all these other immortal ones he's not too bothered#Billy getting into many places with the power of free trials/scholarships/sheer 'look like you belong there' energy#I think he'd have fun being a train conductor#Bringing his friends and trusted people with him sometimes for cover stories (like uncle dudley)#Heck I think he brought Shazam along on a couple adventures in the earliest comics lmao#But tawny is there 40% of the time being the adult (tiger) supervision#Not that he really needs to be. Billy is responsible and mature! Just... A trouble magnet lol#But someone has to show this kid the tricks of the shape-shifting trade!#shazam

people act like tommy leaving the date is the worst crime to ever exist and forget that buck is a whole ass adult who can take care of himself
#yeah he's coming to terms with who he is / his identity etc etc#but tommy isn't responsible for that#he hardly knows buck#tommy has his own peace to protect and if he doesnt want to be involved with someone who doesn't understand their feelings yet then he is -#100% within his right to do that#it doesn't make him some awful human being#it makes him an emotionally mature adult who is looking after his own wellbeing and in turn looking after bucks#don't think people realise that tommy giving buck some space to breathe by leaving the date and EXPLAINING to buck why he is leaving#was actually the catalyst for buck speaking to maddie and eddie and thus beginning to work things out for himself#but alas#i forget that a large portion of “fans” don't know how to behave like adults#and have blinkers on when it comes to buck and what they want to see#it's giving uwu little bi baby buck needs to be babied#no babes he's an adult#yes it's rough coming out / figuring out your sexuality in later life of course#but he is also an adult and has a large support network around him#he's okay girls#911#bucktommy

This is petty of me but there is something darkly satisfying about finally seeing everyone turn on a guy you always thought was a whiny asshole
Like I never followed him but when I got into MCC I very quickly noticed how there'd be arguments about things being "unfair" and how Scott Smajor would get called slurs after every MCC that Dream and his buddies were in and how that notably didn't happen if they weren't in the MCC.
#dream situation#idk it's just nice to see ppl turn from being too scared to say anything bad about him bc of his stans#to just speaking the truth#he's even worse than just a whiny asshole turns out but like. I'm not hugely surprised#it's a bigger scale with more serious allegations sure#but at the core of everything he says it's still the same ''look at me I'm the victim here they're all so mean to me'' mentality#anyway being a hater isn't healthy but sometimes it's quite. Hmm. Fun. Cathartic. Satisfying. One of those#gonna log off and do the laundry now like a responsible adult
