#i wanna go to sesame street

[herewithinthevoid]

I'm leaving this right here because just the memory of this little video that Sesame Street shared with a gentle invitation to "stop scrolling, take a deep breath, and use the next few minutes to escape to a place where the air is sweet" reduced me to tears and gave me a safe space for a few moments to release some of the heaviness and sadness that's weighing heavy on my soul.

[assiraphales]

babe. I know we’re all going thru a lot rn but I just wanna give u the heads up that sesame streets future is in jeopardy. hbo has chosen not to renew it for new episodes (a series that has been going since 1969) and the residents of 123 Sesame Street no longer have a home :(

[salemqz]

Low-key? Want to post writing that I'm proud of.

Problem? Too anxious.

hey bbg i ADORE your writing! could i please get a bsf!james w no boundaries who sees you watching some tv 🧡🖤 if yk what i mean and he helps her out if that’s ok with you? thank you sm i love you *💋*

this isn't tiktok, you can call it porn! also, reader wears glasses in this, if you don't yes you do. also she uses her phone but also its set at hogwarts please don't pick on me or ill give up

this post is 18+, minors dni.

You'd used the fact that James was leaving in mere minutes to justify your lack of self-control. He'd stayed the night in your bed, something he does quite often, and something that means you don't get alone time before bed. It's nice to cuddle up to him, he's a living space heater, but a dull ache has been growing between your thighs the longer you go without relieving yourself, and you're at your breaking point.

He's in your bathroom, warbling a tune that he's made up on the spot, the lyrics all quidditch-based. He's got the game on his mind, five minutes away from having to leave for practice, and you tuck your phone to your chest as you type in the website your fingers know by heart.

You're doing everything right. You've got headphones in, you've got the volume low, you've got the brightness down, but you'd forgot about your damned glasses. James saunters in from the bathroom, a towel around his waist and water droplets still clinging to his chest as he fishes around at the end of your bed for his discarded pants, and it doesn't matter that the phone is angled away from him, he catches it in the reflection of your glasses.

"Oh, I could do that easy," He boasts, and you pause the video to look curiously up at him.

"Hm?'

"That," He points vaguely at your phone, and your stomach twists, "That whole legs-up-by-the-ears thing. If you wanted to, I mean."

"What?" You retort indignantly, like you can't still hear the woman's cries echoing through your head.

"I could fuck you like that, darling," James explains, his voice taking on a tone bordering on amusement, "Hello? The porn you're watching?"

"I- What," You blabber, but you know you're losing even as you mash your thumb against the phone's lock button, "I am not watching porn!"

"Right, you're watching Sesame Street," James snorts. He advances on you despite your flustered protests, reaching out to tap his fingernail against the lenses of your glasses, "I saw it here, nasty girl. Talk about a big bird. Mine's bigger, though. I'll show you whenever you wanna take me up on that legs-by-the-ears technique."

You're silent for only the few seconds that it takes to muster up a response that's equal parts scolding and casually committal, but as soon as you're able to find your voice, James gets his jersey over his head and takes his leave.

"James-"

"Sorry, love, it'll have to wait," He reaches out and pats your shoulder like he hadn't just offered to put your knee up against it, "Practice is starting soon, and I can't be late, I'm the captain. But afterwards, okay? Love you," He grins down at you, cheekiness alight in his entire expression, from the flush of his cheeks to his dazzling grin, "Have fun while I'm gone, y'little perv."

Day 4: Breeding Kink w/ Dick Grayson

survived work, here's some smut

Kinktober Masterlist

“Yeah, I think the dancing skeleton might have been too much. Dude, are you even listening?” Tim’s voice carried over the shrieks and giggles of kids as they filled the grounds of Wayne Manor. It was their annual Halloween celebration for the children of Gotham’s foster care and while Dick thought it was a fun event, his attention was focused on something entirely other than the crowd of kids.

You were standing next to Stephanie and chatting about something, but it was the toddler currently fast asleep in your arms that caught his eye. The kid was in some kind of Sesame Street costume or whatever the fuck kids watched these days and you were dressed up as a classic witch. Steph held your big pointed hat so it wouldn’t slump over and bump the sleeping kid. The little Cookie Monster had hid behind the legs of one of the older kids the second they stepped off the busses, but she had emerged out of her hiding place once you offered her a smile and asked her about her costume.

Now she was fast asleep in your arms as you cradled her, looking both incredibly comfortable and intensely protective over a kid you just met.

And holy shit, Dick felt his heart skip a beat. The blood in his veins was rushing so hard that he swore he could hear the roar. There was just something about how naturally you reacted to the situation that…

“Holy shit,” you gasped against Dick’s mouth as he pushed you back against the door. His lips moved down your jaw and then to your neck and then he was latching on and leaving a hickey that was sure to last. You fisted your hand in his soft black hair and moaned at his constant attention.

“Baby, what’s this all about?” you whined as his kisses dipped lower on your chest. You were changing into pajamas when he pounced on you like a panther after its prey. His fingers dug into the soft skin of your hips and he ground his clothed cock against your leg.

“Not that I’m complaining,” you added. “But you’re acting like you will die if you don’t fuck me. Did you get hit with sex pollen?”

“No,” he grunted. His fingers fumbled with the drawstrings of your sweats and you giggled before helping him untie them and push them down.

“Then what’s going on?”

He raised his head and you met his eyes, dark with lust and burning with desire. Your breath caught in your throat as Dick leaned forward and inhaled your sweet scent before he settled his lips against the soft skin just above your pulse.

“I wanna fuck a baby into you,” he sighed. “I want to see you and know that I put a baby in you. Wanna see you all round and want to touch you and know that you’re mine. I want every person that looks at you know that I fucked a baby into you.”

Your legs pressed together as want built in your veins. You grabbed the back of Dick’s hair and forced his head up so he could meet your eyes. “Don’t hide from me, Dick. You want to fuck me raw? You want to knock me up?”

He nodded, his eyes hazy with desire and his lips parted with labored pants. “God, I want it so bad.”

You shoved him back and made your way to the bed. Lying down on your back, you spread your arms out and sighed. “Well, Grayson, aren’t you going to fill me up? It might take a few tries to stick.”

[nerves-nebula]

this gonna be a bitchy post lacking in nuance but who cares. im annoyed.

child predators and abusers will use literally whatever is most effective to groom someone, that's kind of the whole fuckin point. pointing out that they can use certain media to groom kids is like pointing out that you can drink liquids. like yea you sure can. you can groom a kid through their interest in sesame street. you can groom a kid with adventure time. you can twist even the most harmless story book with a Nice Upstanding Moral at the end into whatever you want.

when i was in high school I basically fell in love with any teacher that gave me food cuz i was fucking starving and that's a way more effective way to gain my trust than like, idk, sketchy fandom porn. (which i also loved as a kid/teen but I never really talked to people online or in person about it cuz i didnt wanna get adults in trouble!) and if someone online was weird to me back then i just ghosted them cuz i didn't have to exist in meat space with them if they made me uncomfortable.

anyway back to my point: should we ban granola bars cuz they were a way to fast-track the trust of food insecure kids? the way some of y'all talk about abuse, and grooming in specific is so frustrating, like, what are you fuckin talking about. grooming is a series of actions a person chooses to take to get what they want, it's manipulation, what they use to groom people with is entirely situational and moreover irrelevant.

should we all just sit in 5 x 5 cubes and paint neutral faces on a canvas till we die or should we try to have systems in place to prevent adults from gaining so much control over kids just by being kind of nice to them. and that's not even getting into how censorship literally never works the way you might want it to. it's impossible to create censorship that isn't inherently bigoted and useless because the only people with the power to properly censor are the people with the most power in general. and they do not like the rest of us. and they are also often on the side of abusers, if not abusers themselves!

yall will gives thousands of notes to posts that basically say they want the haze code back cuz you're too dumb and reactionary to think about fucking anything other than "child abuse bad so i guess i agree." then go patting yourselves on the back without having helped a single child.

yall love to feel vindicated more than you care about victims. don't act like anything you do is for the survivors if your focus is always on retribution or censorship against the abusers. you don't care about us. you don't remember we even exist half the time. none of you have looked into what actually helps us, none of you internalize our complicated feelings, none of you are willing to ease up on your christian ideas of sex and sexuality unless we explain our entire traumatic backstories to you. and then you say we're broken and need help, as if what we don't really need is for you to back us up or leave us the fuck alone.

none of you care. you just wanna find acceptable targets for your anger so you can feel good about destroying the Bad Person. dont piss me off

[lttl3babybug]

id absolutely ADORE (please and thank you 😭🙏) a cg!scott summers either fic or headcannons there no content at all im going insane /exaggeration

SCOTT 👹👹 I honestly don’t know much about Scott sadly even though I really like his character he’s just not one of the ones I tend to fixate on? But I can absolutely try my best to write you some Scott headcanons!! 🫶🫶

Cg!Scott Sunmers Headcanons

🕶️ Scott is a very responsible guy as it is so give him a regressor and he is ready to go

🕶️Pretty firm with rules because he doesn’t want you getting hurt

🕶️He’s more lenient on bedtimes and such if you wanna cuddle up on the couch and watch a movie with him

🕶️The only rule he’s definitely strict on is no touching his glasses or visor he doesn’t want you getting hurt

🕶️He will so happily sit and watch your little kid shows

🕶️Happily letting you tell him about your favourite characters and all their friends

🕶️While he does love that you’ve got shows and movies you enjoy and are purely for entertainment he would prefer if you’d watch something more educational

🕶️He defo likes Sesame Street

🕶️He watches it without you sometimes and has been caught multiple times by his teammates

🕶️If you ever go out to a park or even just the garden he has a little first aid kit with plasters of your favourite cartoon on

🕶️When he takes you to the park Scott defo has one of them like over the shoulder bags full of everything you could need

🕶️Snacks, drinks, change of clothes, paci, hairbrush, hair ties etc

🕶️You name it your papa has got it!

🕶️He’s all for making sure you’re hydrated and well fed

🕶️He’s really good at calming you down if you get fussy or injured

🕶️Not particularly one to tell you off if you get bratty or throw a tantrum, he’ll most likely talk you through why what you did wasn’t okay and get you to talk through your big feelings

🕶️Keeps all the colouring pages and drawings you give him

🕶️They’re stored in a box under his bed and he looks at them if he’s ever worried he’s not doing a good job as your cg

🕶️Scott sleeps with a teddy as well so if you ever end up in his bed he’ll make your stuffie and his stuffie be best friends

🕶️It’s only a normal brown teddy but he’s worn and loved. He’s called Beary

🕶️Scott loves playing building blocks with you

🕶️Has been hit in the nose multiple times by blocks that have fallen down off your incredibly tall towers

[pickles4nickles]

Last year, I wanted to do some kind of jank, made in Powerpoint VGAs-type stream, but… that requires me to put a Powerpoint together and a speech for each thing… and I’d wanna make a cute little suit for my PNGtuber and I’d need to find the TIME…

And that was too much pressure for me to get everything together.

So instead, I did a blog post rundown of the games that were released in 2024 that I either played or experienced through a stream that I liked or have something to say about it. The fact that any video game is released is kind of a miracle in and of itself and I think that deserves an award, even if it’s not “The Most” or “The Best” of something!

So without further ado, here’s my version of the 2024 Video Game Awards:

The Worst Use of the Name “Mililani” Award | Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

LaD: Infinite Wealth was the latest release in the Yakuza series, where ex-yakuza man Ichiban Kasuga goes to Hawai’i to find his mom and shenanigans ensue. The man who is supposed to be Legally Dead and Not Alive known as The Dragon of Dojima, Kiryu Kazuma is also there. He’s having a mortality crisis. It’s fine. If you’ve never played or experienced a Yakuza game, the vibe is essentially big crime J-drama with interludes of silly side stories in-between. Some of these side stories include games that involve taming and getting into cockfights with middle-aged weirdo men and running a vacation resort with cameos from characters of the Japanese equivalent of Sesame Street.

I actually wrote a really, really long review about this game back in the Spring, so I’ll keep this section as short as I can. LaD: IW is a game that attacked my soul as I am a Hawai’i born and raised Gamer™. For the most part, I did enjoy the 100+ hours I put into the game and I did like the battle system and side games, but I have some gripes about the story and I do kinda cross my arms at the way the game portrayed my hometown. That being said I think Infinite Wealth is… ffffine and I’d recommend it if you like the Yakuza series or big JRPGs, just… be wary of the intercultural perceptions.

The Productivity Killer Award | Balatro

Balatro is a roguelike deck building game that revolves around making the highest scoring Poker hands, while using various Joker and other cartomancy-kinda cards to manipulate your score, but also editing your deck by modifying or adding to the traditional 52 that you’d use in regular Poker.

Balatro’s just… good! It’s really easy to pick up even if you don’t know how to play real Poker (like me), but there’s also an insane level of mastery to be had with it. There’s just something kinda fun about breaking the rules of a long-established card game that feels great.

The Tiniest Terry Award | Tiny Terry’s Turbo Trip

Tiny Terry’s Turbo Trip is a game by the Wuppo devs where you’re a little blue guy who drives his car around the town of Spranklewater, collecting Turbo Junk to upgrade his car to launch it into space. You also have a pipe. To assert dominance :)

TTTT has this really specific dry and absurdist flavor of humor that I really, really like. And on top of that it’s just a really fun game to run around in and play. Massive overworld maps that you find in bigger budget games can get overwhelming, but this game has just the right amount of places to go and poke around in.

The Stupidest Game I’ve Played This Year /pos Award | Thank Goodness You’re Here!

Thank Goodness You’re Here is a game where you’re a little man in a delightful 2D, hand-drawn British town and you just kinda slap things and help people with their problems. Sometimes there is a dick joke. Sometimes there is just straight up A Dick. Because British humor.

I don’t have too much, like, deep and meaningful insight about this one… because it’s really not that type of game. I really like the art style of this game, the whole thing is pretty much just one, big interactive sketch comedy. It’s a game that’s very unapologetic about its culture by just forcing you to sit with how grimy it can be at times, and it’s great!

The Devotion Burger Award | Great God Grove

Great God Grove is a game from the Smile for Me devs about a world in which every thirty or so years, a giant rift in the sky opens up that acts as a portal between the mortal plane and the realm of the gods. An elected human can enter the rift and ascend to godhood, but if left open too long, the rift will suck up and destroy the world. The gods have always joined together to close the rift, but this time around, The Grove is in chaos. Due to some nasty letters sent out by the next-god-to-be, King, it doesn’t seem like the gods will come together in time to stop the apocalypse, so it looks like it’s your job to straighten things out. With your trusty tool, the Megapon, you can suck up the words people say and shoot them at other people to help people communicate and solve puzzles.

So you’ve all been seeing me draw fanart of this game. This game got into my HEAD. LimboLane’s character designs and writing are always so unique and quirky and they’re not afraid to put their feelings and emotions into their art (I have been learning recently that that is very hard to do). I was initially interested in this game because of its style, went in as blind as possible, and I did not expect this game to fall into my lap when I really needed it most because it touched upon some subjects that I’ve been kinda struggling with recently. This and Tiny Terry’s Turbo Trip would probably be my Game of the Year picks if I was making that a concrete award for this.

The Gay Fish Award | WEBFISHING

WEBFISHING is a multiplayer lobby (but you can play it solo!) game where you make a little animal guy (cat or dog) and you fish and hang out with your friends. As you fish, you earn money that can be exchanged for cosmetics.

WEBFISHING is a really, really simple game and that’s, like, not a bad thing or to undermine the devs or anything at all. Most multiplayer games have a very concrete goal in mind where players usually have to focus on the main goal to participate, and a lot of us just don’t have the time or the energy to be actively and continuously present for something like that anymore. The nature of WEBFISHING is just hanging out with your pals, popping in and out as it suits you. And we need more games like that.

The Why Have You Done This Award | UFO 50 - Mooncat

UFO 50 is a pack of fifty retro-style games from the Spelunky devs and friends that emulates a fictional video game company’s legacy through the years. Mooncat is one of those games where you play as… what- what the hell is that- An orange (red?) pickle-shaped creature with Grinch feet and unknown motivations.

The directional buttons move the character left and face buttons will move the character right. Pressing a directional button and a face button at the same time will make the character jump and doing so again while in mid-air will make them do a ground pound.

Hey, so, I dunno what mad lad in specific came up with this game, but this is simultaneously one of the worst and best things I have ever played and I think this game should get spotlighted for that emotion alone.

The “Close Enough, Welcome Back Pokemon XD” Award | Beastieball

Beastieball is basically what if Pokemon was also Haikyuu- this is a game that’s Pokemon double battles but also a volleyball game at the same time. As you recruit new critters to your team, they’ll learn new plays, maybe metamorphose into new forms, and make bonds with their teammates.

At the time I initially started writing this, I hadn't finished the whole game- I’m near the end, though, at this game’s version of The Elite Four. The game is also still in early access with a lot of Beasties having unfinished visual assets. Despite all that, BEASTIEBALL IS SOLID. I might write up a longer review of it once I’m done with the game, but as someone whose favorite Pokemon game is Pokemon XD and we haven’t had a solid PvE experience in that franchise in YEARS, Beastieball definitely scratches that itch.

The Cardboard Crack Award | Pokemon TCG Pocket

Pokemon TCG Pocket is Pokemon’s new trading card game app where you collect cards and play a simplified version of the long-running card game. 

I’m putting this here because for being a free-to-play live service kinda game, it’s been… pretty good all things considered? At least for now? Yeah, there’s some decks that aren’t FTP friendly and the RNG will have your head in your hands sometimes. I dunno, as someone who fell hard from playing Pokemon VGC where I got overwhelmed with the amount of plays I had to retain, this was a nice change of pace. I’ve been having fun talking about the different kinda decks that have been going around with friends, sharing the cards we find, and I get to experience the serotonin of opening a card pack without having to spend real world money so... good! While there’s a nonzero chance that the game will fall to ruin a la Pokemon Go, I’ve enjoyed the time I’ve had with the game at the moment.

The “Games I Watched but Didn’t Play” Honorable Mentions

Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom

“Shmovement”- type platformer where you’re a little car with an acceleration button. Has a really great soundtrack! Not-so-subtly dunks on the muskrat man. I don’t have a lot to say about this game because, again, I watched it and didn’t play it and a lot of what makes this game neat is the platforming of it all. It’s on my to-play list, though! So maybe one day.

Crow Country

Survival horror game where you uncover the secrets of the eponymous amusement park, Crow Country. Has an unsettling vibe, goopy monsters, but doesn’t really have any jumpscares, if that helps anyone. I also don’t have a lot to say about this, not just because a lot of the experience comes from having the controller in my hands, but… horror’s not really a genre I go to very often. But I guess if a scaredy baby like me wasn’t put off by the early Playstation-style graphics and could sit through it, that’s a good sign?

Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop

An auto shop repair roguelike where you consult in-game manuals on how to repair different modules under time pressure. Has a lot of swearing for Vibe Reasons. From what I’ve seen, this game can be FRANTIC, so if you’re looking for a chill game, this might not exactly be for you, but there are two modes- one with smaller jobs, but more time pressure, and another with less time pressure, but bigger jobs that you need to do almost perfectly. I’ve been burnt out on roguelikes, but I might actually consider picking this one up, as the test of skill isn’t necessarily reaction time or muscle memory like your traditional roguelike, but gaining knowledge to fix modules quickly without consulting the manual. And I think that’s neat! I don’t think we’ve had a game like that just yet. That being said, the game has been buggy at times, but the devs have been patching it up regularly, so if you’re interested in picking it up, be aware of that! And waiting a little bit before grabbing it might be a solid move.

Egg Squeeze

If Thank Goodness You're Here! was the stupidest game I've played this year, this is the stupidest game I've watched this year.

I refuse to tell you anything about this game.

Persona 3 Reload

It’s the same Persona 3 we all know from the early 2000s with a LOT of quality of life changes and fully voiced social links! That being said, it is still Persona 3, so your mileage may vary and please note the literal trigger warnings.

I… was not able to finish watching a playthrough of it because the end of the game does get kinda heavy and I haven’t been in the right headspace for it (I do not handle death and mortality very well), but in my opinion, of the more modern, easily accessible Persona games (Pour one out for 1 and 2), I think P3 sticks to its thesis and theming the best.

Metaphor: ReFantazio

A game from the Persona team where it’s the same kinda day-to-day hang out with people to strengthen your bonds, fight RPG dungeon monsters kind of deal, except instead of a Japanese high school, a high fantasy setting. 

I liked watching this game- there’s a lot of twists that made me metaphorically (heh) get up from my chair and go “NO FUCKING WAY” and I do like a lot of the characters and their social links. However, this still is the Persona team and, no, they still do not know how to write young adult women. In terms of overall story, Metaphor asks the question, “In times of fear and anxiety, can the general public be trusted to choose a trustworthy leader?” While the game’s plot and themes swing hard in the beginning, the game’s ending kinda pulls its punches.

Despite all that, from what I’ve seen, there’s a lot of quality of life improvements in this game compared to past Persona games - social links ALWAYS level up for each event, the game will very clearly tell you whether an action will progress time or not, the battle system is very polished, and a lot of people seem to like the Archetype system which allows your party members, not just the protagonist, to change battle classes.

Also, shout-out to some of this game’s enemy designs, as some of them are inspired by Hieronymus Bosch paintings. I don’t think a boss battle has ever filled me with the rawest emotion of “okay what the hell am I looking at” as much as this game.

Astro Bot

In the past few years, Team Asobi, a first-party developer for Sony, has been making what are basically tech demos for the Playstation, featuring their little cutie robot player character, Astro Bot. This year, they released a full-on collectathon platformer! A green Minion-ass lookin’ alien breaks apart your spaceship and scatters your robot buddies to the winds, and it’s your job to save them.

I’m just gonna sound like a broken record at this point because, yeah, this game won the VGAs and so many people have sung its praises, but I’m genuinely glad this won GOTY. Even though it’s a very “Sony wants you to remember how good they are/used to be” kind of game that pricks you with a needle and pumps 50ccs of nostalgia into you, it’s still a very solid game without it. To me, the visuals are the best part, with bright, colorful worlds that have so, so much polish into them and you can tell the team had fun making it. I’m glad this game won the GOTY because I want this industry to realize that games don’t need to be gritty and realistic to have value, they just need to be made with heart.

And Two Games I Played This Year that were 2023 Releases

In Stars and Time

Dude, you’re still on Tumblr, you probably heard of this one.

In Stars and Time is a black and white RPG Maker kinda RPG where you play as Siffrin, who is So Very Okay And Not Having A Rough Time At All and stuck in a time loop. The battles operate under a literal rock-paper-scissors weaknesses system with a ATB (Active Time Battle) meter and a Persona-like All-Out Attack style system, which builds as you use the same types of attacks in succession.

It has The Character (Siffrin) with The Character Design. It has the object head character. It has maybe the most casual conversations about being trans and being ace that I've ever seen in any video game so far. It has the narrative that will rip your heart out and possibly inspire you to consider therapy (not as a bad thing). It has so much!!

I have a lot of feelings on In Stars and Time as this was maybe the most cathartic game I’ve played in a while that put into words a lot of feelings I haven’t quite been able to name. That being said, I don’t have too much to say other than, like, it’s good? While a lot of games have the ludonarrative dissonance problem, this game achieves ludonarrative harmony. Although the cast has been traveling with the protagonist prior to the start of the game, Siffrin being emotionally distant from them means there’s some stuff they don’t know about their friends, so you get to learn what’s going on with them along with Siffrin. As you go through loop after loop after loop, you’ll maybe get a little frustrated and the game realizes that and reflects that narratively! A lot of RPGs also have trouble nailing the ending or, like, either the gameplay is good and the story falls short or the other way around, but… ISAT’s pretty much nails everything!

If I had played this in 2023 (and Hi-fi RUSH didn’t exist), it might’ve been my GOTY.

Chants of Sennaar

A point-and-click-ish deductive reasoning game where you use cultural and societal context clues to translate language!

I think this is a game that’s best to go in knowing as little as possible, like, if the premise sounds interesting at all to you, go and pick it up. If you’re on the fence about it because puzzle games can be difficult, the game has a note-taking journal system that’ll help you confirm translations and show any notes you’ve taken on-screen as you’re puzzling stuff out, so you don’t have to worry about getting overwhelmed. I think that’s all I can say about it without spoiling anything, so go grab it if it piques your interest at all.

Goodbye Mr.Darling (Howdy Pillar x Reader) 

Part 2!!! 

Here is Part 1 // On the last part is where Wally cheats on you and leaves you.

Wally Darling Masterlist!! 

Two weeks have passed by, and the sadness was hitting you hard. You felt betrayed you didn’t think Wally would have done that to you, you really thought he was the one. But I guess not everyone can keep a promise. You would watch Wally and his new Sweetheart through your window, they were holding hands and laughing. Wally seemed so happy with his new sweetheart. The other neighbors were ashamed of Wally but they didn’t dare say anything to him, afraid to anger the yellow Tic Tac. But as time passed by you became numb, thinking you would never find love again...

As morning rolled around you laid on your bed, the warm blankets around you. You sighed, you needed to buy more food, you were running out. But you didn’t want to leave to scared to face Wally and his Sweetheart. But you had to, you had to face the reality. Wally Darling isn’t yours anymore, and one day you had to face him. But after awhile of overthinking you had the courage to finally get out of bed and get ready and head off to the store.

You walked around the neighborhood with a fake smile and guess who’s there!! Yeah that’s right Wally and his Sweetheart! They were outside of Wally’s house, both of them were painting outside. The sight broke your heart so you just walked away as fast as you can. In the meantime while Wally and Sweetheart are having their little date Home would just stare at Sweetheart, you were so much better for Wally not this Sesame Street Ragdoll. 

As you finally made it to the store, you sigh. Holding back any tears. You then started your shopping. Wanting to hurry up so you can go back Home and cry. It took awhile to get your shopping done and once you were done you went to the check out. 

“Hello Y/N! How are you doing today? Did you find everything?”

Looking up and seeing Howdy, he had a huge smile across his face. “Oh hi Howdy...Yeah I found everything.” You say softly, looking down soon after. “Just still getting over the break up..” 

“I’m sorry to hear that Y/N, I know it’s hard for you but I’m sure you’ll find your special butterfly!” He said, as he started to scan your items. You just nodded and smiled weakly at him. As Howdy just nodded, soon after he finished scanning your items and as you were about to pay he stopped you. “It’s on the house Y/N, don’t worry.” 

“Are you sure?! No Howdy let me pay, I simply can’t let you!” You say, now looking at him. He just smiled sweetly at you. 

“Don’t worry Y/N, I know how hard it’s been for you. I just wanna give you a helping hand.” He said. You just smile, it’s been awhile since you smiled. “And Y/N...If you need someone to talk I’m here for you.” You smile and nodded at him, and soon after you walked away. 

Howdy watched you as you walked away, he smiled to himself. This sweet boy has always liked you, but he never had a chance to get with you since Wally won you over. But now that he is out of the picture he can finally get close to you. He’ll show Wally on what he’s missing out. Howdy soon then started to chuckle to himself as he started to raise the prices of the Apples and also put them behind a glass door. Now that yellow gremlin can’t steal his apples. 

Walking back to your house you smiled. It was so sweet of Howdy to help you out, you placed your stuff on the table and started to put everything away. You sigh and thought about what Howdy said to you. Maybe you should talk to someone, it would be good for you. You just waited for the prefect time to call him. 

As hours passed by the sun was setting and you were sitting in your living room, nervously. You pick up the phone and started to dial his phone, and waited for him to answer and when he wasn’t picking up you were about to hang up and go to bed but a voice spoke up. “Oh I’m sorry for not picking up the phone quickly Y/N. I was cleaning the store, can I help you?” 

“Oh my bad, I didn’t want to bother you...But about what you said early, about having someone to talk too..” You say, your voice getting softer. “But I don’t wanna bother you..” 

“Oh, you’re no bother Y/N. If you want to I can be at your place in ten minutes.” He said. you smiled and nodded to yourself. “Oh! Really? Yes that would mean a lot to me.”

“Okay then, I’ll see you in a few my dear.” And with that he hangs up. You just sat there turning a slight pink, did he just call you dear? You shake your head and sigh.

When ten minutes passed by you heard a soft knock on your door. Opening it you saw Howdy, he smiled at you. You smile back and invited him in. Both of you, sat down on your living room couch. 

“So...What did you want to talk about Dear?” 

You just look down and take a deep breath. “It hurts Howdy, it hurts seeing him happy with someone else. I really thought I was his special Apple.” Howdy just looked at you, frowning. Your head was down, and he just gently patted your back. “I just can’t believe he broke his promise with me. I can’t believe he went behind my back and did that to me! I’ve done nothing but showed him love and kindness..”

“Oh Dear, I’m sorry. He deserves nothing but rotten apples. He’s missing out on an amazing person. You’re so wonderful and anyone would be so lucky to have you.” He said, now looking at you. “Y/N you’re amazing and I really mean it, I’m truly sorry for what that Yellow brat did to you.” He started to say, he gently grabbed your hand and looked at you. “You’re a great person Y/N...you’re so beautiful.” But that last part was a whisper, hoping you wouldn’t hear it. 

You sat there looking at him, blushing now. Why was he telling you these sweet things. You didn’t mind but why? “Oh..you’re so sweet Howdy. I really appreciate it.” But you turn more red as he called you beautiful. “You really think so? Me Beautiful?” 

“I’m sorry Y/N, I didn’t mean too. I mean you are beautiful but I don’t want to make things awkward, it just slipped out... I’m sorry.” 

You shake your head and smile at him, as you slightly grip his hand. “Don’t worry Howdy. I don’t mind it.” Blushing now, he blushed and looked away. 

“Uhh, Y/N I have to confess something to you..” He said, you looked confused and just nodded at him. “I’ve had a crush on you for awhile now. It’s been eating me, I really wanted to ask you out but Wally beat me to it.” 

“You do?” You say, looking at him. He just nodded and sighed. 

“I really want to treat you as a Princess/Prince, I want to be the one who puts a smile on your face. I want to be the person who you can cry to. I want to be your everything Y/N...So please give me a chance.” He asked you.

You just look away for a brief second, and thought about it. And look back at him. Wally just broke up with you two weeks ago, you couldn’t just move on fast. It wouldn’t be right, but then again Wally did cheat on you so it doesn’t really matter. As you look at Howdy you smile at him. “Are you sure? I mean I’m nothing special.” 

“Non sense my dear! You’re everything, I want to love you Y/N, I want to show you my love Y/N...If you allow me.” He said. “Please my Dear, will you go out with me.” 

His words touched your heart, it’s been awhile since someone has spoke to you like that. It made you blush. You just nodded. “Yes Howdy, I would love too!” 

“Wonderful! How about tomorrow I give you a special date.” 

“Yes, that sounds wonderful Howdy! I would love that.” You say, as you look at him, maybe this isn’t gonna be bad. Howdy just looked at you and smiled. “And I promise my dear Y/N I won’t break your heart, I’ll show you my love for you.” 

As you and Howdy talked for awhile and soon after he had to leave and rest. And you were excited about your date tomorrow you decided to fall asleep early. You had to pay a visit to a special friend of yours. 

From the distance Wally watched Howdy leave your house, he seemed very happy and Wally felt odd. Was it jealously? No right! He had his sweetheart, he loved his sweetheart....It’s not like he misses your beautiful smile and sweet laugh. He couldn’t help but think about you, did he make the right choice of leaving you? Wally just sat alone in the dark of his house. While Home would creek around telling Wally “I told you so.” 

The next morning

You woke up filled with energy, you were excited about later on today. As you got up and did your morning routine, you had a few hours before the date. You really wanted to visit a friend of yours. You grabbed your garden tools and flower seeds and walk out of your house and walked towards Home. Waving at them. 

“Hello Home! How are you doing today?” You said cheerfully, holding up the bag of seeds and tools. “Remember that promised I made you.”

Home started to creek quite quickly, They were happy. 

“I’m happy to see you too Home. I’m sorry I couldn’t visit you. It just hurts seeing Wally with his new Sweetheart..” You say, and frown slightly, but soon after you smiled. “But I have some great news for you Home.” 

Home was knocking all over, very happy and you just giggle. “Don’t worry I'll tell you while I’m planting these seeds for you. 

As you did your promise of planting flowers around for Home you told them  about Howdy and how you guys have a date tonight. And Home seemed very happy for you. You smile and blush. 

“All done!” You say, finally done with planting the seeds all around Home. “These flowers are going to look beautiful Home!” You say, wiping you forehead with your arm. “I can’t wait to see them grow!”

“Can’t wait to see what?” 

Jumping slightly, you saw Wally. Great... “These flowers Mr.Darling... I promised Home I would plant these for them. And unlike you I don’t break a promise.” You say in a cold harsh tone of voice. You look away and smile at Home.

“Don’t worry Home, I’ll make sure to water these seeds for you.” You say, and started to gather your things. Wally just stood there, looking at you. You look at Wally and raised an eyebrow. Looking back at Home and smile. “I mean I could tell Mr.Darling here but I’m sure he’ll break that promise...” You say, and giving him the side eye. 

Wally just stood there, ouch that hurt him. “I’ll give the stupid flowers water...I promise ” He grumbles to himself. 

You just ignore him. “Don’t worry Home, I’ll make sure I come by and tell you about my date. I hope you have a wonderful day.” You say and began walking off but before you walked off you looked at Wally. “Have a great day Mr.Darling.” And with that you left, Wally just stood there. He felt sad, feeling a single tear falling down. 

“Oh Y/N why did I let you go.” 

Time Skip

As the sun was setting and you were running around your house getting ready. You had your best outfit. Honestly you were quite nervous. 

You then heard a small knock. Running to the door, but before you open it you took a deep breath and open the door and there stood Howdy, with a pretty suit. “Wow you look beautiful my sweet Butterfly.” He said, grabbing your hand and placing a kiss on it.

Blushing you giggle. “And you look handsome.” You say, as you look at him. You then walked out and closed your door. “So what do you have in mind?” 

“Ah it’s a surprise, I need you to close your eyes.” He said, you look at him and just nod. Closing your eyes, he grabbed your hand and started to walk off with you. “And no peaking my Dear.” 

After walking for a few minutes he stopped and spoke up. “You can open up your eyes my Dear.” He said, you slowly started to open them and gasp slightly. Seeing this~

It was beautiful, you look at him and hug him. “It’s wonderful! Thank you!” 

Howdy blushed, he chuckled nervously and just nodded. Grabbing your hand he guided you to a chair, pulling it out for you. Then he took a seat to himself. Honestly this was very sweet of him, maybe he isn’t gonna be bad after all. 

This sweet man had everything planned out, he made the food. He made a fresh pie with cookies, he also made mini sandwiches. And he had fresh lemonade, he really thought about this date. He even had soft music playing around.

And after you guys were done eating, he stood and walked next to you. He held a hand for you. “If you don’t mind my dear, but could I trouble you for a dance.” 

Blushing you just nodded, he pulled the chair out for you. Holding his hand out for you, you took it and he pulled you close. Bringing you close against his body. Oh boy. He placed two hands on your shoulder and the two around your waist. You place your hands on his shoulders. And soon after both of you were dancing to the music, bodies moving to the songs. 

He placed his forehead against yours. “Thank you for giving me a chance Y/N.” He said softly. You smile and look into his eyes. “Of course Howdy, thank you for being that new Sunshine for my life.” You say, both of you blush. You stopped dancing. Now just standing there. foreheads against each other, he stares into your eyes. Wow its like a beautiful ocean, he could swim in them all day long. 

He started to lean in slowly, you look at him and lean in too. Your lips touched softly. Now kissing. You close your eyes and wrap your arms around his neck, and he wrapped his arms around your waist. Bringing you closer. The kiss went on for awhile and soon after her pulled away. 

“Wow, that was wonderful my Dear.” You just blush even more. “It was Howdy.” 

He then pulled away and looked at you. “Y/N I was wondering...Would you make the happiest Neighbor and be mine.” 

“Yes, I would love too!” You say and hug him once again and kiss his cheek.

You and Howdy spent the rest of night talking and dancing. Honestly he took your mind off from that Yellow Tik Tac. But as it was getting late you guys cleaned up and started to head back to the neighborhood. He walked you to your house. 

“I hope you have a great night my Dear, please rest up.” Howdy said, placing a small kiss on your lips. Smiling back at him as you return the kiss and pull away. “You too my handsome man.” You say giggling. Howdy just blushed and nodded. Both saying your goodnights.

As you close your door, you smile. Wow you had butterflies in your stomach. As you were about to walk off you heard a knock on your door. Howdy? Did he forget something, you open the door with a smile as you expected Howdy but your smile faded away. 

“Mr.Darling? Do you need something?”

Wally just stood there, he looked at you and soon after he broke down crying. “Please Y/N....I miss you! Please take me back, I regret what I did to you.” He cried out. Getting on his knees, he reached out for your hand but you moved it away. “Please Sweetheart...” 

You just stood there. “Excuse me? Are you serious, after what you did!” You hiss at me. “What happened to your other sweetheart.” 

“They left me...They used me...”

“Good, you deserve it.” You simply say. “I’m happy with Howdy now. Now if you may leave your getting your tears all over my place.” You say, backing up and as you were about to close the door, he stopped you.

“I promise not to hurt you anymore, please. You’re my everything..”

“A promise from you? HA! No Thank you..” You look away and sigh. “Goodnight Mr.Darling.” You say and close the door, locking it.

Wally just stood there, tears running down his face. He really lost you, he lost person who really loved him. He was so dumb for hurting you...He wanted you back. As Wally walked back to his house he just cried inside. While in the other hand Home just stares ay Wally, rough knocks were heard.. “I told you so.” 

Damn, ouch! But I hope you guys enjoyed it!! And a lot of people wanted to be tagged for part two so here goes!!

[nerves-nebula]

Splinter smiled to himself as he finally stood and looked at his handiwork. Was it pretty? Maybe not, but it worked. An old television set stolen from a thrift shop, a handmade entertainment center that was mostly just pieces of scrap he’d found in the nearby junkyard, and lots of illegal wiring that definitely wasn’t safe to be around this much water, and now their underground home was just a little cozier.

The boys were all sitting on the couch (which had been a bitch and a half to get down there in the first place), watching him curiously. They were getting so big now, and everyone except Donatello was stringing together near-sentences.

“Dada, what is?” Leonardo slapped the cushion between his little legs, a determined frown on his face.

“This is a television.” He told them, “We can watch movies on it.”

They all stared at him, clueless.

He shook his head, bending down to pick up the few films he’d managed to swipe. He’s tried to find some for a younger age group, but all he’d managed to find was a VHS of Sesame Street and… no. First off, there was no way he was finding a VHS player and second, he’s not watching that. He could not deal with puppets singing, even if it was supposed to be good for the kids’ developmental health or whatever.

“Here.” He came over, picking up Michelangelo and Donatello to make room for himself. Thankfully, they were still big enough for him to be able to keep them on his lap, though that wouldn’t last too much longer. He winced as Leonardo and Raphael climbed on, their little claws digging into his legs. As they settled he fanned out the available movies. “We can choose from these.” He pointed to each title as he read them out, “This one is called ‘Back to the Future’. It’s about a time traveling car. This one is ‘Samurai Rabbit’. It’s about a, well, a samurai rabbit.” Michelangelo giggled and he bounced the leg he sat on, chuckling with him, “Then we have ‘Mulan’. This one has singing in it, but it’s about a Chinese girl being a hero. Which one do you want, boys?”

Donatello plapped his hands against Splinter’s legs, turning to look up at him with wide eyes. Splinter held his breath a moment, hoping his youngest would finally start properly talking.

“Daddy.” Donnie wobbled and grabbed onto the front of his robe. He grinned wide, gap toothed from where a couple baby teeth hadn’t grown in yet.

Splinter sighed, “Yes, I am your Daddy.” It was okay. He would catch up. He was younger, he had time to catch up.

“Bunny!” Leonardo screamed, practically shoving Raphael aside as he leaned forward to grab at the Samurai Rabbit case, “Daddy, issa bunny!” He turned around, eyes wide and bright, “Bunny go hop!”

Two sentences. Well, toddler sentences, but still. He set the other two disks aside, letting Leonardo look at the art on the one he chose, “That is a bunny, good job, Leonardo.” He leaned down, kissing the boys head, “That’s my smart boy. Do you wanna watch the bunny?”

Leonardo nodded, slapping his hands onto the disk cover, “I like the bunny!”

Now that was a full sentence.

Two years later Splinter would have to console Leo when the disk finally got scratched beyond use after so many watches. Two months after that Draxum would show up with the entire collection of the main actor’s works.

Splinter refused to admit that he found the rabbit plush out of jealousy. He merely thought he son would enjoy the piece of memorabilia, and the children were still young enough to have toys. Nevermind that Leo had practically cried with joy when Draxum had showed him and had climbed into Draxum’s lap to watch one of the movies with him.

He certainly didn’t care about that at all.

The doll wasn’t in the best condition, with the fluff flattened and some of the details rubbed off from some other kid playing with it, but Splinter had gotten it nonetheless.

Maybe that’s why, when years down the road he decided that they were too old for dolls and toys, he didn’t try to take the rabbit plush.

——

I wanted to write something Splinter-centric, but I’m not in the headspace to write him being super terribly bad, so I went for turtle tot time. Especially since we’re discussing Usagi and his place in the AU.

Regressor Bi-Han & Kuai Liang w/ CG Tomas (Fic)

"Raaaaaaaaaawr!" Tomas shouted as he chased his brother.

Kuai Liang squealed, running into the living room. He ran across the table, using it as a shield as Tomas tried to catch him.

"Awe that is sneaky, brother!" Tomas put his hands on his hip.

"No it isn't!" Kuai Liang shook his head.

"Is too!" Tomas laughed, jumping onto the table.

"No!" Kuai Liang gasped, dodging as Tomas tried to tackle him. "Can't catch me!"

Bi-Han glared at them. He was trying to watch Sesame Street, alone. He didn't like the fact they were loud. He also didn't like the fact that Tomas was giving all his affection to Kuai Liang.

Did he yell at Tomas for trying to baby him? Absolutely. But that didn't mean he didn't want him to! He didn't want cuddles or anything. But he did want Tomas to give him apple juice and sit near him . . . And maybe cuddle him.

How dare his actions have consequences. >:(

"Go away!" Bi-Han shouted, swatting in their direction.

"Are we being too loud, Bi-Han?" Tomas asked, grabbing Kuai Liang and wrestling him to the ground. Kuai Liang giggled and fought him back. "Hey! You little- Are we louder than the tv, Bi?"

It wasn't often that Tomas watched over his brothers anymore. Nowadays Harumi watched Kuai Liang, and Sareena watched Bi-Han. But when they were busy, Tomas was their go to babysitter! The girls were having a girls day, plus Hanzo, today anyways, so the timing was perfect!

He had helped them regress when they were young, as they had done for him. Tomas liked watching his brothers. Just as much as he adored being watched by them!

He'd miss how grumpy Bi-Han could get. Or when Kuai Liang wanted to be michieves and try to blame it on whatever toy of the day. Really, he just liked hanging out with his brothers, without the fighting.

"Move," Bi-Han shoed them away again.

"Bi's being no fun," Kuai Liang pouted, pinching Tomas's arm.

"Ow!" Tomas hissed, unwrapping his brother from his headlock. Kuai Liang giggled and ran into the kitchen. "Kuai! That's cheating!"

"No it isn't!"

"Sorry about the noise, Bi. We'll try to keep it down, okay?" Tomas smiled, Bi-Han just huffed and turned his head.

Tomas ruffled Bi-Han's hair before jogging after Kuai Liang. Bi-Han watched him go. No! Tomas wasn't suppose to leave! He was suppose to stay and sit next to him, getting bored of Kuai Liang's chase. Or Kuai Liang should be getting tired by now. Wanting to nap on the couch.

Bi-Han looked back at his show. He didn't wanna watch Sesame Street anymore. Not that he had been watching it at all. He pouted earlier at every show Tomas suggested, so he put something he personally watched while small. It wasn't bad . . . But it wasn't Ruby Gloom.

Bi-Han didn't like Ruby Gloom either though. He only watched it because Sareena liked watching it. Which usually meant he got cuddles and goldfish.

"Get off the counter," Tomas said, carefully watching as Kuai Liang balanced himself on the kitchen counter. Kuai Liang giggled, shaking his head. "No, this is very dangerous. We don't climb on things that we can fall from."

"You jumped on the table," Kuai Liang pointed out.

"Very different scenario, Kuai," Tomas said sternly. Kuai Liang deflated at his tone. "Come on, I'll help you down."

Tomas picked his brother up, setting him carefully on the ground. Kuai Liang immediately sprinted to the pantry closet, looking at all the snacks.

"You getting hungry?" Tomas asked, Kuai Liang nodded in response. "I can order some food. Does McDonald's sound okay?"

"I want . . . fruit!"

"I don't think fruits in the pantry," Tomas chuckled, shutting the pantry. "Fruits in the fridge. How about you go fetch some?"

Kuai Liang got up, waddled to the fridge. He liked fruit, especially strawberries! But pineapple was really good too. And blueberries when they were in season! And-

"Tomaaaaaaaaaas!!" Bi-Han shouted, stopping Kuai Liang's thoughts.

Tomas stuck his head through the open doorway, "What's up, Bi?"

"Change it," Bi-Han pointed to the screen.

"Can I hear a please?" Tomas asked.

Bi-Han glared at him in reply.

"Bi-Bi, you've gotta be nice," Kuai Liang said, moving to Tomas's side. "Otherwise 'Reena's gonna know."

Bi-Han grumbled at this fact. Tomas was not against calling either of their caregivers if they were misbehaving. It usually got them to stop whatever they were doing quickly, not wanting a lecture or timeout.

"Don't want it no more," Bi-Han pointed to the screen again. "Change it."

"Alright, alright," Tomas rolled his eyes, walking over and grabbing the remote. "Whatcha wanna watch?"

Bi-Han stayed silent. He didn't really wanna watch cartoons right now. But he also didn't wanna be up and running around like Kuai Liang.

Tomas waited for Bi-Han to give some sort of name suggestion or a site. When none came, he went onto Netflix, scrolling through some shows. He didn't want Kuai Liang to get impatient and try to cut the fruit himself. He could probably do it with a hand guiding him, but Tomas still didn't want to chance it.

"There's a ton of good shows on here, Bi. You want a bigger kid show with some plot in it? Or maybe a smaller show? Disney has Bluey if you wanna-

"Wait!" Bi-Han frowned, pointing to the tv.

"Octonauts?" Tomas asked, receiving a small nod.

Bi-Han didn't care for Octonauts, but Tomas and Kuai Liang liked it. So maybe they'd stop chasing each other and come hang out with him.

Luckily, the show did seem to catch Kuai Liang's attention.

"I wanna watch!" Kuai Liang gasped, rushing over and sitting beside Bi-Han.

Bi-Han gently rested his head against Tomas's shoulder, looking at the tv. Tomas patted his head before moving to stand up. Earning an upset look from the oldest brother.

"I know, but I've gotta go get Kuai Liang his fruit! I'll get you some too," Tomas offered. "Is there any other snack you wanna have?"

". . . Fishies," Bi-Han mumbled.

"Fishies? Goldfishies?" Tomas double-checked, Bi-Han nodded. "Alright, I'll get some goldfish. Kuai?"

"No thank you!" Kuai Liang shouted. Bi-Han nudged him lightly. "Oh! Sorry."

"Don' be loud," Bi-Han mumbled.

Kuai Liang nodded, laying down, moving his head to Bi-Han's lap. Bi-Han didn't completely mind, beginning to play with his brother's hair.

They were definitely going to have a cuddle fest when Tomas came back though. Per to Bi-Han's silent request . . . order.

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I wanna give Tomas a color but I don't know what. Do y'all think i should change it or keep it black/white?
