i wont lie sometimes its a little crazy to see people shove bardroy aside to assign sebastian the role of Dad™ cuz as much as i like dadbastian (with seb being just terrible and weird in the role lmao) i think its strange to put bardroy into the 'weird uncle' role
on top of it being a very nuclear family set up (with ppl assigning mei rin the role of mom/aunt and snake being someones child along with bards role for some reason??) its just kind of forgetting that like,,, he's the only one aside from tanaka who ACTUALLY has experience raising children and was actually a father
#also i hold dadbard looking out for finny very near and dear to my heart#like thats probably the most normal mentor/mentee relationship in that household#i would say soma and agni hold that spot too but bard wont sit there worshipping finny so#they definitely are more normal#basically when i see people ignore the fact that finny literally sleeps#in the same room as bard and stays behind with him and mei#just to say that sebs the only 'father figure' in finnys life#i see red a tiny bit#like sebastian doesn even have the complicated feelings of love and grief#from looking at this young blond kid that bard can get all the time!#let him look out for and be a father figure in finnys life!#hes more than a weird uncle!#(also i havent fully seen the flashbacks yet but wasnt he hired#to be like the most normal person in that household? weird uncle does NOT fit him)#anyways i just took a shower and im off my adhd meds good morning yall#sorry if im all over the place today lmao#headcanons#bardroy#black butler#dadbard#dadbastian#for the ppl who mute that#devo speaks

thoughts on thistle and yaad's dynamic that i vomited in the tags of another post but will now try to articulate here: they're not actually family, or at least they shouldn't be. not in a conventional sense anyway. framing them as uncle and nephew (even in a non-literal, silly fantasy world way) rides more on technicality than anything concrete.
what i mean by this is yaad calls thistle by name and says he and delgal were raised "like" brothers. he talks about thistle like he's an outsider imposing himself into the melinis' space, and it's clear that thistle was never legitimized as a member of the family. for thistle's part, though we don't know how he would treat yaad pre-demon brainrot, it's safe to assume based on the way he punishes him—turning him into a doll—and how little is shown in the way of any sort of relationship between them that thistle only cares* about yaad as an extension of delgal (otherwise i'd expect something like kabru and milsiril, because it's not like another complicated interspecies family dynamic would be out of place, yet there's next to nothing on them even in bonus content, just their scant interactions in the main story).
in essence, they're strangers to one another. thistle's desperation to preserve the illusion of a family, a model where he doesn't even fit, was the snare they were caught in for the past thousand years of stasis. yaad-as-nephew is a prop to uphold that illusion, and thistle is playing a role he's unfit to play. in the context of post-canon interactions, attempting to reconstruct that facade would only be a reenactment of trauma for them both (in a deeply compelling way i'd love to watch unfold, tbh), as that "uncle and nephew" framing places thistle in an implicit position of power over someone he's already traumatized through misuse of authority in the past, a role which also perpetuates his adultification and yaad's infantilization in turn. it'd mostly be an obstacle to any real connection.
best to burn the melini family bridge, i think, and if there's still anything salvageable left in the rubble, let something different supplant it.
#not to say i don't enjoy when they're portrayed as a weird set of uncle and nephew - that's really fun too#i think their history and shared connection to delgal would be a key element to their dynamic no matter what#and it's something they would tryyyy to make work at some point. for lack of other options.#it's not smn i take too seriously either! but thinking about it for more than 2 minutes makes me go oh yikes#i do think they could be family - i'm a certified sucker and sap so i want them to be - but#growth means moving past that more conventional way of thinking of family#side note as someone with a large extended family i DO have uncles who are younger than me lmao#but i'm viewing the whole uncle + nephew thing with thistle and yaad more symbolically for the purposes of this#additional note the fantasy age-fuckery and power dynamics at play means thistle has been in an actual position of authority#over his younger family members like any older relative would be in spite of his being quite young and immature#so. no. don't try to be his uncle anymore. and he isn't your nephew. and oh god he isn't your dead brother let it go. stop with the labels#don't try to resurrect that corpse (< writing them trying to resurrect that corpse as we speak)#not sure if these tags are coherent pero basta lang. yaad and thistle stay complicated forever that's all i want#feel free to chime in or disagree as i'd like to crack into this like crispy lechon and my opinions are subject to change#roomba media#thistle#yaad#thistle & yaad#melinis#dunmeshi#dunmeshiposting#dunmeshi spoilers#thistle dungeon meshi#dungeon meshi#edit: changed some inaccurate wording in this one whew. english

i am still battling through my young dracula hyper fixation so to anyone who even still thinks about young dracula have this balls to the wall unhinged thing my brain spawned that if i had the energy (& if i actually thought i could do a decent job of writing vlad) would butcher into a fanfic:
vlad goes back to the dreamworld except he gets yeeted through a dracula multiverse where he meets versions of count dracula from 1931-2023 & after being scarred for unlife & after realises just how good he's got it.
#he would see some things he would never be able to unsee#1931!dracula is so over dramatic and bizarre to him but in a familiar way#1992!dracula is interesting for him to witness#sees garyoldman!dracula gets questionable vibes and sits there facepalming and valuing his own father's escape plans#vlad gets so confused by 2004!vanhelsingdracula#vlad sees richardroxborough!dracula and just has so many questions#thinks that 2013!dracula is probably what would have happened if they lived with uncle ivan#first question vlad asks if he saw jonathanrhysmeyers!dracula as alexander grayson is why are you american 😅#probably feels bad for 2014!dracula#lukeevans!dracula is even more depressed than vlad himself he feels bad for that one#vlad gets absolutely traumatised by 2020!dracula#vlad sees claesbang!dracula in his modern clothes and think 🥹 a normal dracula for me ? 🥹 only to get traumatised and more depression#2023!renfielddracula reminds him of home in a weird way#he sees nicolascage!dracula and nicholashoult!renfield going off at each other and probs thinks this isnt that different 🤷🏻♂️#also he would meet so many different renfields and van helsings so many cleaner renfields and less unhinged van helsings#at least one of the other draculas want to adopt him#vlad dracula#young dracula#dracula#kat’s thoughts 🍄

Internets obsession with Sans Undertale will always be famous 2 me bc 11 year old me was there in 2015 watching blue lightsaber penis happen in real time and then I play the actual game and it’s like. He’s truly just some guy. He’s just there to troll his brother and then drops “i met ur adoptive mother in the woods and she asked me to protect you and if she didn’t oh boy your ass would be grass”. and goes back to just being a guy. Finish pacifist and he goes “I’m gonna go keep an eye on my insane brother” and walks in the opposite direction. Then 11 year old me is like ok what is the hype about. Why do we want this man so bad. Then I play geno and he’s like OUR STUDiES HAVE SHOWN OUR TIMELINE IS BEING FUCKED. UR ASS IS GRASS. GET FUCKED and like. 11 year old me thought it was kinda cool I guess but sure the entire internet wants to fuck this guy. Whatever. Fingers in his ass Sunday
#that’s the titular bitchular (11 y/o me) btw#i still don’t get it but y’all really love ur sans undertale and i respect it#I was never a sans girlie and I know lesbians who were so its not because of that#hes like. my friend#my weird uncle#I’m a Flowey the flower fan to the day I die#i have the almost 6k notes post about it for a reason#I had a personal grudge against sans for a while bc 11 year old me was super into like 4 other characters way more#but if you were into undertale in 2015-2017 you know#only content you could find was sans#but I’m cool with him now#sans#sans undertale#undertale#utdr#he is cool objectively#lazy dude that does jack shit actually knows more than anyone (besides Flowey) about the timelines and only does something about it#when he’s the last resort#his secret room and his connection to the Deltarune world

i am not sorry for the Carmine reblogs, she has fully taken over my brain at this point.
A mixture of her being so unhinged and neurodivergent that it feels like she was made for me to like her and her very unfortunate dynamic with her little brother make her a character that I was just made to get attached to.
I want to study her under a microscope and get her help with the Kieran stuff, I want to make things worse between the two siblings, I want them to blow up at each other in a way that will make them unable to reconcile, because she failed to do everything right for her brother, because he took everything so personally and lashed out, because the two just can't fit together nicely, they're just not made for that. no matter how hard she tries to be a perfect sister, no matter how much she cares about him, I want things to go so wrong between the two. I want the pain to be so gut-wrenching it tears them appart.
but I also want them to reconcile; in another world things could be saved. carmine could recognize the way she acts hurts her little brother that she loves so dearly, she could try to reach out to him and be better, and he could accept it and they'd be able to rebuild things together.
it's a tale of two siblings that struggle to coexist. Carmine's technically the one in the wrong because she hurts Kieran, but she doesn't intend to. she struggles to realise how he feels an just tries to do it her way because she's the older sibling and knows best. she loves him and wants only the best for him, that's why she made the player lie to him, but it backfired alomst immediately.
she failed and that's the real problem. now let's hope that the Indigo Disk lets them reconcile (in a satisfying way)
#morningtalks#pokemon#carmine#rival carmine#trainer carmine#pokemon carmine#yeah I am a younger sibling#with a very weird relationship to my older sister#she's 9 years older than me and went through So Much terrible stuff in our family#constant fights between our mother and father plus also our grandparents and our grandparents with our mother#same father who was an alcoholic and really not the best person even though he cared in his way#abuse in even more sordid ways from our uncle aunt and cousin#and she took it out on the one person she could: me#I got to deal with quite a lot of stuff she went through. kinda like a continuation of the cycle of abuse that chokes our family#so Carmine's treatment of Kieran feels so mild compared to my stuff but it rings bells

Different anon here- I’m generally ok with mpreg existing. But the sheer volume of it in this fandom is pretty weird. Especially considering the source material… one of the great things about the unholy family (to me) is that it’s this family unit without the necessity for sexual reproduction. It’s so interesting because they all had lives outside of each other at some point so it’s part found family, part queer and yet biological parents. I think that’s one of the things I first loved about the 1994 movie and it’s a shame that aspect is overlooked
(x)
Yeah, I totally agree on all counts. Like I don't usually bat an eye at mpreg (whatever floats your boat! I'm very good at scrolling, haha) but there have literally been times I've opened ao3 and have counted five or six fics on the front page of updated works that are mpreg which feels really disproportionate to the amount of fic that actually gets posted in this fandom?
I - - mmm, kind of wonder a little if its tied to some of this gender essentialist stuff that's coming up more and more both in this fandom, and in social media generally? There feels like there's this real desire to shoehorn them into a quote-unquote 'traditional nuclear family dynamic' which really feels like it's the antithesis of the show. Like you said, the fact that they've all had lives outside of each other is, and the fact that as a family they are both one found and made is, I feel, pretty crucial not just to their interpersonal dynamics, but also to each individual character?
#this kind of goes back to my original point too but there are also so many ways queer couples have children now?#a good friend of mine and her wife have just had a baby#and one of their best friends#who's a gay man#donated the sperm#which is like! not uncommon?#and he is loving getting to be fun uncle (and has 0 desire to be dad haha)#although apparently has been around quite a bit to help out which makes me very happy for ash and her wife#like idk if i really wanted to write a baby claudia fic#i feel like the obvious thing would be to write lily as the surrogate#especially because then you can keep the themes of the show with louis' ease with commodifying women's bodies by y'know#renting a womb#while also getting to keep lestat's messy feelings about being an outsider to louis and claudia if louis' the bio dad#or louis' weirdness about lestat being bi AND claudia being more like lestat than him if lestat's the bio dad#there's DRAMA to unpack there y'know?#but then i do remind myself that a lot of these sorts of fics don't want there to be drama hahaha#so whatever you could also keep it cute!#but yeah#it's really interesting#iwtv asks

Ok who was gonna tell me that original Pey'J was husband material?
#captain laserhawk#beyond good and evil#Pey'J#Much prefer this to his Laserhawk counterpart and not just because of that one scene#Laserhawk Pey'J feels very much like an arrangement of tropes to fit the show's narrative? Idk how else to describe it#BGE Pey'J feels way more like an actual person who has more to him than “Jade's uncle”#He isn't afraid to be goofy and raunchy as well as having relationships with other characters#While in Laserhawk (for the utter worse) his character is tied to Jade and he barely reacts to anyone after killing Pagan Min#I think it's partly because they do nothing with the weird incest thing but Pey'J could've been literally anyone else TBH#Still think he should've died first and Jade lived (preferably for the whole show because she deserves better!)#I need to watch the cutscene collection “movie” proper but that's just my thoughts on skimming through stuff

Sorry I loooove the idea of characters being bad parents in the future idkkkk
#I keep thinking about like. future batfam#idc about their partners bro#but like. the way we’re going the best parent there would prolly be Damian 😭#and yes that’s Steph Babs cass included#YES THATS DUKE INCLUDED#sorry 💀#atp Damian has the most potential for growth#the thing with Duke is he’s doing great rn#but like if anybody cared about telling a story with him they know next step is to hit rock bottom#and the way this goes in my head#actually scratch that on Duke it’s a lot of subjectivity going on there more than normal#i was gonna say tim but tim gives the vibes of someone who thinks a one year old is manipulating him by crying at the same time every night#like idk I don’t trust him around children not in a weird way but I think he’d treat them like mini adults#and he does not have a great track record with ppl he needs to keep connections with#like he’d be a great uncle#i think he’d be an AMAZING uncle#parent? no. that child is not getting through that unscathed#i mean no Child does but this kid….#yknow the Bruce mental break birthday present#hed do that but not on purpose#that’d be the result of his parenting over time bro#and he wouldnt even realize it smh#OR he’d go the opposite way and give his kid too much freedom#spoiled ass child either way but this second way they’re unprepared for real life#first way they’re too prepared#playing wicked mind games for a math class or smth

I do understand that post that’s like “future nurses are using ai to glide through classes rn” in the sense of like. Sure if you’re going into a lifesaving profession you should probably actually like. Know that shit to save lives etc. but I simply can’t rb bc like. Do you think nurses (and college students in general really) just. Weren’t cheating before ChatGPT? Do you think they weren’t having other people write their essays? Or getting the questions for tests from their friend who took the class the day before them? Like. Ai is not the birth of cheating in your college classes. My aunt tells a story about her and one of her best friends from college made sure to take the same class with the same professor but on different days bc her friend was better at that kind of thing (I think it was like. A geology class?) and her friend would copy down all of the questions from the labs (and sometimes quizzes/tests if she could remember them) to give to my aunt for her lab the next day. This was in like 2003 long before ChatGPT. People have been doing that since we started giving each other tests probably.
#my uncle did a similar thing when he was the ta for a class his friend was in. this isn’t new !#idk the post is very weird to me.#like the ppl say it’s terrifying I promise you there have always been nurses cheating on their exams. they’re just using computers to do it#which is not to say I’m for ai just the wording of it is certainly a choice#although I personally don’t think there’s anything wrong with cheating on an exam so. maybe it’s a morals things idk#fuck academic dishonesty I don’t give a shit about that.#mostly bc I think lying is. literally whatever in. a lot of situations.#like obv there’s situations where you shouldn’t lie/it would be wrong to do but like. there are many more where it’s literally fine or even#better to lie than to tell the truth.#so actually the post is literally fine probably I just don’t think cheating in your classes is like. morally wrong nor is it a particularly#good reason to hate ai. bc cheating has always and probably will always existed#prsnl

also if only the physical copy of how to disappear completely & never be found i first encountered & read a few years ago (sort of [roughly avg age ten] reader book, not any similarly titled How To) hadn't disappeared completely & not been found since, probably b/c i put it somewhere i intended to be For Safekeeping, which is also how my binder vanished....b/c it's one of those like. those book for late elementary/middle school readers when they just weave in this unrealism which makes for a delightful range & unpredicability? and with a cynical protagonist girl like off to the races like wow her mom is depressed asf & smoking? and it's about A Family History Secrets Mystery so blatantly a haunting that the inciting incident is basically introducing a haunted [family history secrets mystery] house. and spoilers don't matter like it's stemming from there being this missing uncle who grew up so in contrast to the Winsome Winning Sibling Who Does It All Right while seeing his own affiliation with rats that he tried to disappear completely & never be found which led to this Tragedy which led to this more unintended disappearance of his & he haunts this house & wants to be left alone & only goes out at night with this [ambiguous Is That A Giant Rat Or Weird Small Dog (protagonist affected by these family situations who expresses her preoccupation with an awareness of how fate can Strike and Get you with this interest with roving packs of killer chihuahuas. people think she's weird though she spontaneously befriends this other girl struck with this bolt from the blue & a bit weird / outcast & then Insightful who i wish was in it more)] & plays into the hauntedness danger like playing into the [something's Wrong with you then] until having to take yet more action where the urge to express the truth comes out more both b/c living that hidden is more threatened but also b/c now the niece children are more threatened as well. ft. a sort of preternatural blurring of time b/c of only being communicated with through this uncle via his comic pages (that he paints?) of dubiously accurate translations of irl events that are created so quickly it seems to verge on foresight, imagine like "hmm what's this painting. it's me standing in this room looking at this painting??? as someone ominous lurks in the shadows right behind me?" in both [now how could you know this & paint it really fast ahead of time] and [horror]
#i've had good times & thrills & things from other books i've read in the past xyz years & all#but i think this had the best in its final sections with [''uncle rat!''] like that was so incredibly unbelievably hype#and a further ending with a reconciliation that lets the Weirdo still be how they are but with more support lmao#i'm like yeah i want to live in the abandoned house only coming out at night only leaving secret homemade books with Some Truths#yeah i wanna exist in secret passageways & be unseen & uninteracted with & get by despite it all; sure#and disappear (mostly) and (not be found for a while until you have more motivations to help very parallel parties)#and have an affinity & affiliation with animals ppl are also like oh weird bad gross Never Want To See Them who are scroungily around#not implied to be a supernatural connection rather than just like. oh this person is a friend. from chihuahuas; rats; coatis....#also the How To & Never Be book's like core event to The Mystery is. truly so tragic lmao my god. it's really great#i'll just see about reading a digitization somewhere b/c i am Not gonna be able to find it#and the uncle is So mysterious that like. you don't get many Interactions w/him & are just going off of these emergent factors#the situations as they are as consequences of prior events; that he Is this withdrawn & communicating As some haunting monster etc#the way you technically don't also get to know like [what was bruno like prior] Directly W/Promised Accuracy and yet#the [metaphorically i mean] angle going on for everyone like perceiver truth teller Weird Odd One Out yeah yes#bit like [ :) (devastation)] verse talking abt him through a ''so your disabled relative'' lens (who also even w/magic was Just Existing)#here's a guy just existing like :) = my god this absolutely sicko who would even do something like that lmfao. god we've all been there#grappling with [tendencies] they couldn't understand....many things + just the way bruno approaches Speaking is like. okay.#my man's autistic. highest honor i can bestow. among other plausible ways of being disabled / nonconforming / abnormal#also the highest honor....rat affiliated disappeared uncle in How To? well he's really simply not possible ''yes he is Normal(tm)'' so

Okay so this is something that I held off on saying outright because of Natalie and the sway she had over the RPC, but one of the reasons that we require fcs to have a large following if they're not already in the entertainment industry (or trying to be in the industry) on GPN is because it feels oddly dehumanizing and tokenizing to take people who agreed to be part of a documentary or are in someone else's vlog because they are disabled or an ethnic minority and trying to use that person as an fc for "representation". While there isn't an abundance of disabled actors, they are out there, and I would much rather use an actor or model than an activist or someone who is literally just disabled and happens to be in a video, because they're not trying to break into the entertainment world, they're just living their lives.
Not to mention, when those people are only in one documentary or an episode of a show about disabilities, you're not going to get a lot of resources anyway, so it's not sustainable to use them as an FC. Just, when you're going forward and making resources of normal non-famous people because you think they'd be "good representation," please think twice about why you're actually making those resources. Would your time be better spent gifing a disabled actor or singer or model who is actually famous or even someone who's trying to break into the industry, who will likely have more footage down the line and actually give people more incentive to use that FC? Or are you just trying to gif as many people as you can to say that you're inclusive?
#tbh to me it always felt ableist and tokenizing#to have like 40 gifs of someone that's disabled from one episode of a show /about/ being disabled#and then saying 'oh you want to play a disabled person? here use this!!!'#like there aren't already disabled actors that are trying to make their way into the industry#it just felt performative to me tbh#because I can't think of many people that would be okay with using that little resources AND comfortable using an every day person as an fc#and you know maybe i'm wrong about this! and you're more than welcome to disagree with me on that#but I do want to say this is a call for more resources of disabled people in the industry#as well as ethnic minorities#but i do think that gifing regular people is freaking weird#like if someone made gifs of my uncle from his tiktok because he has diabetes and they were like 'wow diabetes king' i'd die

I don’t often think I’m upset at not having a good relationship with my parents but sometimes it really fucking hits me that I don’t have a good mom I don’t have a dad I’ll never experience having a good parent and someone I can lean on like that and I get… really upset
#I have this coworker who is about my mom’s age#I love her and she’s a wonderful person and she’s such a good parent to her kids#her autistic queer kids and she fights for them and defends them all the time#she values their interests and does things they love with them and supports their choices and jusy#ugh#today she gave me a hug because ‘it’s really seemed like I wasn’t doing okay’#and ‘I’ve been dealing with a lot of hard things and big life changes which she knows is really hard’#and I kinda teared up#my own parents don’t even know about everything that has happened with my roommate or the friends I’ve lost this year#I don’t tell them. and I could but it wouldn’t matter#my mother wouldn’t care. she definitely wouldn’t sympathize or give me a hug over it#she wouldn’t comfort me#my dad my try but he lives thousands of miles away#and I love my dad but I didn’t get to know him until I was 17#I don’t think he’s really like… a dad you know?#he’s more like some weird friend or MAYBE an uncle than anything#which is fine! I think it’s really the best we can do and like I said I do love him and I know he loves me#but it’s still… different than a parent you know?#and sometimes I just ache knowing I don’t get parents…#I don’t get that relationship that so many ppl have that’s so important to them#and it just doesn’t feel fair and makes me feel really sad#I’m glad I’m as independent as I am but even that doesn’t feel fair#I’ve lived on my own since I was 17…. I never should have had to do that anyways….#and I just feel sad because I got a hug from my coworker that made me want to sob#because it’s like damn… is this a teeny tiny taste of what having an actual good mom is like?#I missed out on so much….#kaz rambles
