#i'm so proud of this lil bean

TOH SPOILERS AHEAD

I want to share something regarding my feelings about the Collector that I shared on one of the Discord servers I'm apart of. It's about his ending:

So I was spoiled beforehand about the Collector leaving and I was so so mad about it at first.

I wanted him to stay so badly. To have a family and not be alone again.

But... learning the context of why he's leaving, I'm really proud of him.

I was so worried about him being alone again but I realised something as I watched the ending: This is different from all the other times he's been left alone and abandoned.

This time, He's got people to go back to now. People who really care about him now who love him. Real friends and a real family.

He is not being exiled. He is leaving on his own accord. To learn and grow and to paraphrase his own words "got some growing up/maturing to do". He's no longer restricted and trapped in a mirror with his only company being that manipulative bastard Belos. He's free! And best part:

He's got people in his corner now. Luz, Eda, King. He's got people to go back to. People who really care about them, people who love him and understand him. They're his family now.

He's going out there to learn and understand, and that's so freaking admirable. And I'm so proud of him for it <33.

He won't stay away forever. He's gonna come back and visit once in a while, said so himself. And King (and this is a big thing that had me squealing) wants him to come back eventually and THAT is a guarantee Collector will make sure to visit.

What's happening right now is exactly the opposite of what happened before. He's free to explore and learn about the worlds, he's got people who genuinely care about him.

He's never going back to his siblings, I can't imagine him WILLINGLY going back. It makes no sense for him to go back after he literally expressed his hatred for what they did to his Titan friends. I think he's just going to travel and see what the universe has to offer. See what else there is to learn. And I bet he's going to have a blast.

This may not have been the ending we Collector fans have imagined for him. But I do believe this is a good one. He's free and despite the fact he is indeed heading out into the galaxy on his own, can we really say he's alone? When he's got people like Luz, Eda and King he'll go back for?

In the end, Collector got exactly what he and what we wished for him. Freedom and a real family. Its just not in a form we expected. And I, for one, am extremely happy for him.

Thank you Dana and the rest of the TOH crew for this awesome finale and a spectacular show in general.

And Collector, enjoy your journey lil' bean <3

I absolutely love these comics and your art style, it's so fun to see how you expand upon interactions and events!

I'm so glad that my habit of doodling while I play video games has given people something to enjoy! It's so much fun to expand on the RimWorld storytelling and make it into something more comic-y. I love assigning personalities to all the lil' bean people and cooing over their interactions like a proud parent.

I even drew the gang at Arwell sitting down to enjoy a picnic together! Jordon is still a bit worried that he must have upset Mechi somehow, but Uncle XiaoLiang can explain Mechi's reclusive tendencies with the patience of a saint... or a world-weary Man in Black. Either works.

star wars things that make me smaddy (sad/mad/happy):

(subtle ahsoka spoilers ahead)

-thinking about lil baby ahsoka falling asleep in plo's arms when she was just a tiny bean

-ezra knowing his parents before they died (unlike half of the chosen one tragedies out there)

-kanan not being around to raise jacen, but he still got to raise ezra and sabine

-ahsoka and sabine's complicated relationship and the fact that they keep coming back to each other because they know. they know they love each other and they know they work best together and they know that in the end they'll always return

-anakin's tiny little hands taking apart and putting back together every appliance obi-wan has

-force ghost anakin watching ahsoka live her life

-force ghost anakin being a proud dad to ahsoka when she takes sabine on as an apprentice and talking to mando and every little thing she does the same as she did when she was a teenager

-seeing little live action ahsoka mannerisms and phrases that just hit you as absolutely perfect ahsoka

-obi-wan getting to find comfort in someone like him; satine seeing this too-smart jedi and going "he's mine"

-watching hera interact with her son

-sabine's little loth cat

-sabine living in ezra's tower

-an ACTUAL TEENAGER PLAYING TEENAGE AHSOKA i'm proud of the casting director

-live action clone wars ahsoka and her baby face

-live action cw ahsoka's voice

-the bulky design of star wars mechanics because that's how it was imagined in the 70's that never changed even though modern technology has progressed

-a room full of force sensitive younglings making their toys float and the creche master having to stop them from "accidentally" throwing them at others

-jacen and chopper's obvious attachment like that droid took one look at the tiny child of mother and decided he had to become the best babysitter in the galaxy

-star wars as a franchise surviving and thriving and growing into such an enormous fanbase with people in production who actually love the characters and love what they're doing

-seventy year olds who watched a new hope when it came out being able to connect with their grandchildren over luke skywalker

-the brotherly affection between all the clones

-the thought of ahsoka learning some jawaese and anakin learning some togruti and them both learning mando'a and UGH they just love each other and they want to be apart of each others' cultures

-ahsoka always sparring with rex and winning for the first time and just absolutely losing her crap

-rex is just so proud

-ahsoka and cody bonding because they're the same rank and they don't feel like they have to perform for each other

-cody stepping back and letting rex become her ori'vod but he was prepared for her. he loves her and she doesn't know it. he always loved her, even if it was first just the thought of her.

-when they get to know each other ahsoka realizes cody is more reserved, but is just as crazy as her own legion and she just feels so at home with him

-ahsoka expresses her anger to anakin, because he understands, but then he reminds her that anger comes from a place of pain and hurt and sadness and she just absolutely loses it because she's so tired

[writteninlunarlight-years]

Heya! I sent in a matchup request before but I kinda rambled off in it (and I think I was on anon too-) so imma try again and be less ramble-y 😅

For Hazbin Hotel please!

-------------

Gender/Pronouns: She/They AFAB

Sexuality: Asexual, questioning-aromantic who would date men/masc

Age: 25

Appearance: 5'11 White Australian with pale as fuck skin, blue eyes with dark bags under them, half my head is shaved the other half long, currently dyed red hair but it changes once it washes out and I get bored of my natural blonde. Slightly chubby belly with average breasts I wanna remove completely 👍

MBTI: INFP-T

Mental Additives: I have autism, clinical depression, clinical anxiety, PTSD and lowkey a hypochondriac.

Personality: I'm told I'm open-minded and easy to get along with. I am also a completely open book who talks about 98% of things I have been through; including trauma and random factoids I have learnt.

I smile all the time, even when crying I find myself smiling sometimes. All I want is for the people I care about to be happy; and I don't always include myself in that list but I've been getting better at doing so!

I don't have a job but I am slowly looking. I think I've just gotten used to not having a job or going to school? It's boring and mind numbing, but the last job I had gave me anxiety attacks. Doesn't help I have no ambitions in life. Except for whatever hyperfixation I'm on!

Yet I also verbally yet playfully threaten violence on friends, but if need be I can't ever throw a punch. I diffuse situations with words and pacifist action (like leaving). But I will use my height and build to be threatening to protect a friend, despite knowing that I can't defend myself. I also break into tears if I feel like I said the wrong thing to a friend or family member. I'm not as scary as I sometimes look or act.

Imma list off words that remind me of my personality since idk how else to explain myself: Helpful, imaginative, leisurely, loyal, protective, self-critical, absentminded, touch-starved, irritable (prob the anxiety talking hopefully), unable to flirt or recognise flirting, quirky, anxioussss!, logical thinker.

Likes: True crime, reading/writing fanfic, my cat, my five birds, my two fish!, I want reptile pets, random facts, the cold (jumper weather), playing all types of video games, watching YouTube, thunderstorms, chocolate, soft drinks, my lil brother, my OC that I shape into whatever fixation I'm on!

Dislikes: Having writers block, drinking alcohol, smelling cigarettes/weed, being called lazy, being compared to others, the heat (remove my skin), drinking water, my lil brother (when he's in mean mode), racists, terfs, literally all dumbasses who think they're better than everyone, routines.

Hi, I love you! I hope you enjoy this! I want everyone to know that this bean is an amazing Mutual, and you should all check them out! Okay, okay, now to the show!

~~~~~ MATCHUPS ~~~~~

HAZBIN HOTEL

Alastor

~~~~~ HEADCANONS ~~~~~

Alastor really doesn't care for people in general. If you aren't one of the few he deems good enough, stay out of his way.

That's why he was thrown for a loop when you came along. Is someone so kind and genuine not being scared of him? Who do you think you are?

Alastor is very protective, and though it may take ages to realize he has feelings, he will firmly defend and protect you.

When you and Niffty are hanging out, he feels so proud and almost giddy, an emotion he only feels when murdering normally.

When you fought the Angels, he was in awe of you. Though you needed training from Vaggie, you were fierce and ready to do whatever you could to save your friends.

The first time he snapped at you, he felt horrible, and when you started crying, he was practically a dead man, times two. He spent weeks trying to apologize and make it up to you.

He isn't big on touching or affection, but he shows you he cares in his own way. He is always opening the door for you, cooking for you, and taking you to special events or places.

He supports all your hobbies and interests and even tries to help you find new things to enjoy. This way, when he is busy doing whatever he has to, you are entertained until he returns.

He loves just having lazy days with you in the Radio Tower. There, he can work on his master plans, and you can do whatever to your heart's content.

When he finally accepts he has stronger feelings for you than his regular crew of Mimzy, Rosie, and Niffty, he asks the girls what's happening to him.

They collectively help him confess to you, and when they find out that you two are a lot more similar than they thought, they are thrilled for you two now that you guys have found your person.

If you ever mention physical touch or intimacy with him, he will allow it, but only if you are comfortable with it. Do not force yourself to think it's the right thing to do unless you 100% want it to.

~~~~~ BLURB ~~~~~

You had been working with Niffty on a surprise for Alastor. He had been working hard to take down the Vees and especially hard to piss off Vox after a particularly vile comment he made about you. Niffty was out collecting the materials while you were researching how to make a cape, crown, and scepter. Once everything was rounded up and ready to go, you two got down to some serious work. Building your masterpiece for Alastor was moving along well, and you two couldn't wait to see his face.

Sneaking up to Alastors room, you set up the creation. While you were busy making it look perfect, Niffty distracted Alastor. However, Alastor knew that something was off as soon as you weren't downstairs ready to greet him. Making his way to your location, Niffty did her best to stall the tall man, but it was too late. Luckily, just before the door opened, you had set up the display. You remembered before the battle against the Angels that Niffty had dubbed Alastor 'King Roach'. Alastor was a king in your eyes, so you wanted to show him how you honestly thought of him.

There before Alastor stood a mannequin with a deep red cape adorned with blackthorns, a crown made of black cardboard and gold glitter glue, and lastly, a scepter made out of a large stick and one of Lucifer's rubber ducks that looked like Alastor. The man couldn't help but laugh at the creation in pure enjoyment. As he walked over to start putting on the new outfit, Niffty crawled up your shoulder and perched there waiting. Once King Alastor was officially crowned, he bent down and asked, "May I kiss you, my love?" You nodded gently, and all that was heard after the kiss was a 'blegh' sound from the tiny woman perched on your head.

~~~~~ EXTRA ~~~~~

(You had been sitting in the Radio Tower for hours and were ready for fun. However, Alastor was still trying to work.)

Y/N: Can we please do something else, Alastor?

Alastor: Dear, you are always more than welcome to do whatever you please. The most powerful demon lord is your partner.

Y/N: Noooo, Alastor, I wanna do something with you.

Alastor: Hmmmm, is that so, like what?

Y/N: uh uh uh....damn it! You can't put me on the spot like that, Alasor.

Alastor: Alright, alright, come on, let's go to Rosies for some tea and a break.

Y/N: Hell yeah! Field trip!

[nuctoria]

ok ok I'm starting to be a pain... Luigi's harem opinion again but with children, like fanchild or AU (with Bowser it won't be difficult)

First of all, you are not a pain, you are the only person that ever gives me asks or requests and as a new account here I love answering them. Plus, you ask me about things I can ramble on for hours, what more can one ask for? Also, I actually have ideas for fankids for both Mario and Luigi but I'm more hesitant with Luigi cause they are a very big stretch to canon Luigi.

Daisy: when I first go back to the fandom as a teen, I was hooked on this ship and did actually make a fanchild for them, drew her, made a story on Wattpad and everything. The fanchild was a girl and was named Lana, she looked like her dad with some traits of her mom and got involved with ghosts to but she was less afraid of boos and more wary or uneasy. She is sporty like her mother but calm and introverted like a father in a less shy way, best believe she got his snarky tongue when annoyed. She begs her father to tell her about the human world and her family on his side as they don't come often and they don't really go to the human world. Much to both parents' relief she was born with great strength like Daisy instead of thunderhand like Luigi.

Peasley: I saw a post that said that children in Bean Bean Kingdom come from the ground but I kept wondering how the child would be biologically related to the parents and claim right to it (I think it was @pianokantzart but it wasn't please tag whoever it was). I'll headcanon that the parents prepare the soil for the baby and somehow create a seed or bean that will spout into a child underground, I can think of the details later. If that's the case then the child won't be blood related to Luigi but he will still raise it with Peasley as his own since they both wanted to be parents and planned this together so the child is as much to Luigi as it is to Peasley. The sprouting of the child will be celebrated like never before, it will be cherished and dotted on by everyone in the kingdom. The two fathers could not be more happy and the grandmother never wants to leave their side, giving them all the tips under the sun on how to care for it and raise it. While it is a royal, Luigi suggests giving them the opportunity to get close to their people and make friends with local children and have fun playing like a normal kid. The kid loves music and tried to learn multiple instruments, its favourite being the trumpet from how fun it sounds. They also got a green thumb (literally-) from their fathers as they like plants a lot, giving their friends and loved ones roses or other flowers they can get their hands on after seeing how happy and flustered Luigi gets when Peasley surprises him with a rose.

Dreambert: Dreambert actually started asking for a child after he started having dreams of how life would be if they had one and craved for it more and more each day. Luigi didn't need much convincing as he's always wanted a family of his own and that's how they adopted their son. This lil guy is as shy as Luigi and as quiet as a mouse. Even so, the two could not be happier to have adopted him, showering him with unconditional love and affection and helping him be less shy so he can enjoy the world. He loves reading about mythical creatures and often explores Somnom Woods in search of a new discover, which is usually weird rocks, plants or other trinkets he finds while exploring. Naps all over the place, with a stuffy if he carries it with him. Loves moths and will follow them around in Somnom Woods when he sees them. When he's around 10 he carries a little notepad to draw the pattern on the wings.

Bowser: this dude has 8 kids, they don't need no more, Luigi is the proud stepmom on these mini koopas. He plays with them, he teaches them new things, he cooks for them and bakes them treats, keeps them in line when possible, is there for them when they're feeling down and has great fashion tips for Wendy. He loves those kids and they love him back equally, but it took some time for them to get used to him at first, especially since he's Mario's brother, their biggest enemy. Even now that they've settled it, it's weird having Mario as their uncle but they are slowly warming up to him too. Idk what else to add here tbh cause it's not the first time this family dynamic has been talked about since the movie so I can't say much about it.

King Boo: boos that are on the more neutral side and don't exactly hang around King Boo's territory have treated Luigi without hostility and some have really warmed up to him so when they come by to see him, Luigi treats them like his children and spoil them with Boo Candy. While in a relationship with KB, Luigi tried to teach the boos to be more well mannered and not target his friends all that much, failing most of the time since many take great pride and joy in their scares. The boos that did keep him company but are under KB's command after the relationship failed and the hatred started, they couldn't go see Luigi to see how he's doing nor did they want to hurt him so they tried to find ways to not be selected by their king in his schemes. The neutral boos visited him instead and tried to support him through this, either through comfort or bringing him things that might help. Either way, Luigi loves the boos with all his heart, no matter how cruel KB decided to be to him.

Antasma: they will most likely adopt like with Dreambert. They found a colony of bat pups somewhere and no other adult bat was with them or would come for hours while they chirped and cried for food so Antasma's instincts kicked in and he fed them, which got to imprint on him as a result. And so they took the colony in and the family was created. Antasma had to teach Luigi how to properly care for them and he was the many parent that educated and trained the children, so they are much closer to Antasma, but they still really love Luigi. Much like their bat father, the babies cling to Luigi like koalas all the time to the point Luigi goes about life with his winged children on his back and shoulders, accepting his role as the colony's personal perch. They still do it when older and with Antasma for fun and old time's sake which Luigi loves in all honesty. He was a nervous wreck when caring for them as babies and wasn't sure if he was following Antasma's instructions correctly but eventually he calmed down and showered them with love and care. The colony will most likely be of 5 bats max, can't see it being more than that.

Dimentio: This is probably the hardest one to imagine a child for, why? Cause Dimentio doesn't seem to give off parental vibes and if he was to be a father, he's still very much unstable and not the safest. I see this dynamic being Luigi as the actual parental figure and Dimentio being the fun yet reckless parental figure, but he may be more serious and give proper advice if the child has magic that is similar to his own. They both love the kid, but Luigi is the one fusing about them more since Dimentio doesn't think he should intervene unless the kid is critically injured or in active danger. He probably pulls pranks on Luigi with the child or cause some mayhem with them, teaching about the different worlds, about magic, showing them magic tricks and so on, it's his way of showing his affection. Luigi tries to teach Dimentio on how to use more common methods to take care of the child but the things that aren't logical, basic necessities he finds dull and pointless so they have disagreements on that. I'll be honest and say that this ideology is based on @lizadale Dimentio and it started making sense to me if I thought about it more deeply.

That's all I have for now so I hope this is good enough. Go ahead and object on anything if you find it wrong.

hi there !! i was wondering if you can do either a one-shot or an imagine with logan from big time rush ?

Of course, I'm sorry it took me so long to answer the request, I hope you like it!

[ Logan Mitchell ] Bookshop Boy

He’d been visiting the same bookshop for the last couple of weeks. The first one to notice that he was going to a bookshop on the other side of the city, instead of going to the one near Palmwoods was Kendall.

It had become routine by now, every Wednesday and Saturday, right after recording, Logan would go straight to this mysterious new bookshop that had opened up. His friends had ignored it, but it was starting to get on their nerves, now it was always, “Sorry, I’m going to the bookstore,” and “Nah, I wanna go check out this new book,” Of course the boys knew their friend was a nerd, but this was starting to get a lil’ excessive.

So, they did what they do best; a sting operation. Kendall, James, Carlos and Kaiti followed Logan all the way to the other side of town. 

They all got out on the last busstop, it was a few steps away from their destination; Books & Beans. The store wasn’t something extremely fancy, it definitely didn’t measure up to the bookshop near Palmwoods. It was a small shop, only one story tall, there was a small café attached to it with blue chairs on the terrace. There was ivy climbing up the walls, and small pink roses were planted in planter boxes under the windows. It was quaint.

The boys quickly followed their friend into the store, watching him browse through books, picking some out, reading the cover. No suspicious activity. Yet…

You were sitting at the counter, an iced macchiato in hand. The end of the year was nearing and you were nowhere near your reading goal, so you were trying to squeeze in as many books as you could in the time slots where there weren’t many customers. 

Although, it was hard to concentrate on you book at the moment. A cute boy was walking around the shop, trying to find a book. You’d seen him before, sometimes even made small talk with him as he waited for his coffee, but you didn’t know his name.

You watched as he frowned, clearly he couldn’t find what he was looking for. Was this a perfect opportunity to go talk to him, get to know him, and maybe even get his number? Yes. Were you also a nervous wreck incapable of speaking English whenever he smiled at you? Also yes.

You gathered the courage, puttnig down you drink and book, you walked up to him. “Hello, can I help you?” He turned around quickly, nearly dropping his book because of the action. “Uh, yeah I, uhm, I was looking for a book,” He looked at the shelf in front of him, “I thought it would be here but I can’t find it.” You looked at the list of books in his hand. “Oh, I could check if we have it in stock?” “That would be great.”

You walked back to the counter, leaning into your chair, typing in th name of the book. “Oh, is that Little Women?” You looked up, he was looking at the book on the counter, the one you’d been reading just a few minutes ago. “Yeah, I’m trying to reach my yearly reading goal before New Years,” you shrugged, “It says here that we’re out of stock, I can place an order for you though?” He nodded gratefully, “That would be great, when do you think it’ll arrive?” You looked at the screen, it said that the book would be here next friday, but you didn’t work fridays, which meant that you wouldn’t be able to give him the book. 

“It’ll be here next saturday,” you smiled, feeling pretty proud of yourself, “cool, I’ll come pick it up,” You handed him the receipt, “I’m fairly sure I’ll be here next saturday, but just in case.”

He thanked you, walking away towards the café before quickly making a U-turn. “So, is it a good book?” You look at him confused, “Little Women, is it a good book, it’s been on my TBR for a while,” he clarified, you smiled, “Oh, well I’m actually not a fast reader so I’m not that far, but maybe I’ll have it finished by Saturday and I can tell you then.” He smiled,  “Well, I’ll see you Saturday,” he turned around, this time walking towards the café to get a coffee for real.

“What the hell man?”

Logan nearly jumped out of his skin as his friend popped up out of nowhere, wearing one of their infamous bush-hats. “What are you doing here?” He asked, completely dumbfounded, this bookshop was on the other side of the city, had he followed him all the way here? “We wanted to know where you were always disappearing off to,” James shrugged, sitting down at one of the tables, “So you decided to– wait, we?” Logan watched as his friends appeared out of seemingly nowhere one by one.

“You all followed me here?” Kendall shrugged, “You were acting weird, we wanted to know where you were going all the time,” Logan pinched the bridge of his nose, “And you thought the best way to do that was to follow me to the other side of Hollywood?” The group nodded their head ashamedly, in hindsight, maybe stalking their friend wasn’t the best idea.

“But seriously, why didn’t you ask for her number?” James asked, leaning iver the table, Logan gave him a questioning look, “When was I supposed to do that?” He asked crossing his arms, “When she said she wasn’t that far in the book,  you could’ve giver her your number and told her to update you whenever something happened, duh” James replied in a matter-of-factly tone. 

Logan thought back to the moment, that actually wouldn’t have been alf that bad.

He stood up confidently, “I’ll go give her my number now.” But Kaiti was quick to pull him back down, “You can’t do that now, you’ll seem stupid.” Logan sighed, “Then what am I supposed to do?” His friends thought for a second, “When you come to get the book next time, you can give her your number so that you can give her updates on your book,” Logan thought about Kendall’s suggestion, “But what if she’s already read it?” “Even better,” Kaiti said, “Then you can have a better conversation discussing your opinions.” Logan grinned, this was a great plan.

So as promised he was standing at the counter of Books & Beans, waiting for you to come back with his book. He watched nervously, what was he gonna do if you didn’t even like him. Had he read too much into the smile you’d given him every time he’d checked out?c Maybe you were just being polite, since it was your job… Curse James for giving him too much confidence…

“Here’s your book,” You said, handing him the hardcover. He grabbed it, his brain completely malfunctioning as you smiled at him expectantly. “So will that be cash or credit?” You asked, cocking you head slightly to the right. 

He nodded, of course you wanted him to pay. “Credit,” he replied quickly. Damn you James, this definitely isn’t as easy as you’d said. He quickly paid, completely ready to give up and walk away. 

“I, uuhh, I would prepare myself for chapter 30 if I were you…” You spoke up, Logan looked at you questioningly, “You’ve read this books,” He asks holding it up. You nodded, “Yep, I read it at the beginning of the year for my goal,” He smiled, “So what did you think of it?” He asks, leaning on the counter. “Well, it’s a great book, but it get sad towards the ending, which I really wasn’t prepared for, since I got the book as a gift.” “Well, thank you for the warning, I’ll tell you what I thinkg about it it,” He smiled at you, “Actually, i could give you my number, y’know live updates of my thoughts while I read the book.”

Now it was your turn to freeze, he wanted your number? “Uh, yeah, sure, I mean if you want to,” You quickly pulled you phone out of you bag. “Here you go,” You said, handing him your phone. He quickly typed his number into your phone. “Great I’ll uh, I’ll tell you about it.” You gave him a smile, taking back your phone. He walked away giving you one last smile and wave goodbye.

You watched him walk away, a pack of butterflies erupting at the pit of your stomach. You looked at your phone. Smiling at the newest addition to your contact list.

Logan Mitchell

 You were definitely going to wait for his message all day.

How is bean doing? Do you have any new stories?

She's doing pretty well! She's totally geared up for all the end-of-year holidays, is as smart and sassy as ever, and keeps telling me that we need to move to a new house so she can have a pet bunny and a pet dog. I am on her side with that one, we're just waiting on some of these jobs that Dad has been applying for to get back to him. The post-degree job hunt (or literally any job hunt) is no joke, and my condolences and positive energy to anyone stuck in the thick of it.

She has recently taken to trying to classify what each of our car radio preset stations likes to play. She's identified that #3 likes to play "rock songs", and #1 will often play "old songs." So imagine her confusion when Another One Bites The Dust came on #1.

"This is an old song, so it's on 1.... but 3 likes rock songs.... and 1 likes old songs, but.... WHAT MAKES SENSE???"

She also gave us this gem at bedtime the other day:

"You wanna know something strange? When it's bedtime, the Earth faces away from the sun. But when it's nap time, the Earth faces to the sun. Scientists aren't sure why. *nods* They just don't know."

Of course we waited til we were out of the room to bust up laughing, and we certainly didn't tell her that that's just how time and night and our words to differentiate sleep at different times happen to work.

One of my favorites is this new pretend game she made up. She likes us to pretend we're all T-cells in an immune system, and we have to stay in the shadows because the shadows are the lymphatic system and the light is an infection in the body. So it becomes floor is lava but with light spots and shadows, so we hop around from shadow to shadow snatching up pathogens and microbes from the infected cells (light).

She decided the T-cells should be named after other letters in the alphabet. Her T-cell name is I. My T-cell name is C. There's a couple other letters who are pretend/invisible T-cell friends, like D and R. And dad's T-cell name is Swimglog.

I about peed myself laughing with that one, and she was so proud of herself for it.

Also I forgot that not everyone's four-year-old knows about the inner workings of the immune system, so it was particularly fun and disorienting to play this game outside and have her run up to a neighbor and ask them if they wanted to be a B-cell and spray antibodies on the viruses. The neighbor looked justly bewildered, and I the T-cell helpfully and consolingly goes, "That's okay, it's not a real virus, it's just pretend." As if that's what this grown adult was concerned about and not the fact that a tiny lil cherub with a chipmunk voice was making a game out of advanced cellular biology.

Eventually "I" ran off with "Swimglog" (still not getting over that one, I giggle every time I type it out) to take a break at a lymph node (big shady tree). The poor neighbor just looks at me and whispers "what the heck is a B-cell?" It was... a moment, to be sure.

I'm sure everyone in our complex thinks we're those weirdo ultra-competitive parents trying to get our kid into Harvard by age 12, but that's just how she is, all on her own. We don't push stuff on her. We just answer her questions, she asks more questions, we answer those, sometimes we go "Huh, I dunno, let's find out" and look it up. And she just absorbs it all like a hungry amoeba.

She just loves to learn, and isn't satisfied with explanations like "Your body can get rid of germs." She wants to know how. So it becomes "Well, your body has something called an immune system that finds the germs and gets rid of them." But that's still not enough. She wants to know how it can tell which ones are germs, and what's a germ, and what's the immune system made of, and where is it in your body, and can we see it, and what is your body made of, and how do cells know how to work together, and what are cells made of, and which atoms are people made of, and how do we know, and on and on. It's been a pretty great refresher course in just about everything, honestly.

Guinea Pig Plush Pattern!!

For the benefit of sewing community on tumblr I am putting up the pattern I made when I sewed some guinea pig plush recently (as a gift for my brother a proud guinea parent)

There will be instructions and I will also add a list of supplies at the end (with some prices and where I got them)

Here's the pattern to start with, it fits on a normal sized printer paper, so it should be fine to just pint out as is. (don't mind the holes, that's where my pins went in when I was cutting out pieces)

I used felt and it took me only one sheet to cut out the pattern if i was being careful (if not it took 2 XD)

more below the cut!!

first things first cut out your pattern! whatever colour you want piggy to be! (I always cut out the side piece first since you need two, I just folded the felt and cut it as close to the edge as possible, to give room for the other pieces you see.)

as you can see this is white and not yellow, sadly I only took progress pics of one of the guinea pigs I made so i'm using those ones here, hopefully this isnt too confusing.

next step is to sew on whatever patches/markings you want your piggie to have! this piggie ultimately has two black patches on her face and a brown patch on her butt. to make these markings, I used the side pattern and cut out a whole side piece that I then trimmed to my desired size (if you have chalk it's so helpful for sketching things out.)

remember to keep in mind where the ears need to go! I got the ears in by just cutting a slit (about where is shows on the pattern) I smushed the felt (ear piece) between the slit and just sewed it flat on the other side. You may need to move the ears around a little depending on where you want your face markings. After the ears are attached flop the ears down appropriately and sew one lil stitch to keep em looking good.

next you wanna sew the eyeballs (buttons) and ears on.

Next, sew both side pieces to the bottom piece, making sure the slimmer end is at the rear of the piggy. Next I sewed the top piece to the bottom piece just along the edge there (the weird triangular part of the top pattern is the part you want to be sewing here, it comes in and goes out for the nose yanno) I used a flat stitch for this, felt don't fray baby.

the nose and mouth got embroidered on right after that. I sewed them on so that the mouth ends right above the seam between top and bottom piece.

I will now attach a very terrible guide on how I embroidered that.

If you don't know how to do embroidery, you can also just draw a little face on with a sharpie (the prototype piggie has drawn on eyes and they look very cute)

next you wanna sew the rest of the top on following your sides, remember you are sewing it inside out at this point! You wanna see all your little raw edges.

sew it all the way down to the bottom edge, I promise this little flap is enough space to pull your little piggie inside out.

(note about butt flap: the top pattern says to add a few mm, that's just an over abundance of caution on my part. Everytime I did the piggies i had plenty of fabric for the butt flap and pattern is probably fine as is.)

finally I stuffed a bunch of polyfil into the piggie, starting with filling the face and moving along the back, at about half full I put in my bean bag sock. (you can also just put beans in anarchy style. no judgement.)

bean bag sock is just a sport sock that i filled about 2/3 of the way with dried navy beans then sewed shut at the top. (let the beans fall to one side of the sock then jam the sock part in with a chopstick, or anything stick like and let the beans flow into the part of the sock that's in the plush.) Someone please tell me which parts i'm over explaining.

after sock is in you wanna stuff a little more polyfil in, just making sure we look smooth and fat, jamming a little where you are going to close piggy so we juicy. Finally, sew the butt flap closed using a ladder stitch (if you don't know what that is, youtube has lots of instructional videos)

Yay Piggies!!!!!

Stuff List!

felt, at least 1 piece (69 cents at dollar tree- and if you tend to make mistakes, or the idea you only have one shot stresses you out, 2 sheets probably won't break the bank and gives you lots of oopsie room.)

embroidery thread (79 cents at a local fabric store, but micheals has it as well)

Black rounded buttons (4 for 1.69$ at micheals)

thread! (I had most colours but if you don't i did buy one spool of thread and it was only 2.67$ at walmart

Beans!! (helps them to stay upright- I just used some from home but the dollar store should be able to hook you up, for a dollar even. Also any dried legume should be fine, I even have some lentils that almost made it in)

Poly Fil -Fibre Fil (9.99$ for 1.25 lbs at Micheals, Honestly the bag is huge I barely used any of it for these guys. I used cut up socks and extra felt pieces to stuff for the prototype and he looks fine.)

(his mouth is different because I hadn't figured my life out yet)

All together I would say I spent less than 20$ CAD and I made 3, so like. A lovable not super expensive plush. live your best life.

Message me with any questions!! I have never made a guide before, and I am self taught at sewing so I don't know what kind of gaps I am leaving that others wont understand.

Love and kisses,

Rick

SOOO I'm out on my adventure, second run after resetting from a Rogue because OH I'm on console and I missed the part where the freaking game TOLD ME that I can push R1 to view abilities. But that's neither here or there. I'm playin' having fun exploring the map and my friend called and heard it in the background.

first off, my man was proud that I'm playin' this shit after he's constantly recommended it to me but told me to NOT treat it like a typical RPG. Got me shook so I asked him why but told me it would be best I just explore and find out myself since it's really TOO early for me to be making account breaking mistakes so I'm like 'word' Imma be cautious but still didn't EXACTLY know what he meant by don't treat it like an RPG.

Either way yo boy came up to what looks like the ruins of a cathedral cause I heard bitchin' in the area. Turned up there's a smol bean talkin with his taller friend bout this place they found and they'd wanna go for the spoils. (which now that i think about it could have been the mindflayer ship, but the kiddo was playing paw patrol around me so i'm jugglin') NOW i'm here sayin' there's friggin' monsters in that bitch and this lost Dwarf from the echanted forest sittin' to front up on me.

He don't know my game tho, he don't know that I JUST recruited Astarion and..what's his name Gale? Two for one special up in my party. SO we get the boxing. Going right and left and these folks almost got me, got a sniper at the top and a mage at the bottom. This is when i was thinkin of what my friend said so It makes me wonder if I could have snuck up on them pre-fight. EITHER way took out their peeps and all that was left was their lil sniper at the top but once i got homie cornered. I was all:

IT WAS WRAPS for these fools. Though, imma have to make another pause here cause This boy just wants to play with me. Bought him sOO many action figures for christmas and I'm still priority..kids.

I'm sure I could read anything about Touya that you wrote and deeply enjoy it. You just have a talent for writing him with all his contradictions and complexity. Thank you for sharing all of it with us.

I especially love step dad Touya. Given his situation isn't the most stable and enviable, plus his rocky past compared to your situation, maybe he becomes worried he could be a "bad influence" for your daughter ? Especially when he becomes more and more part of the family and a role model of sorts like parents are. He's probably self conscious about it. It's a big responsability ; he doesn't show it but you can tell it's hard for him since he has self esteem issues. Poor baby. He would be proud but also devastated if the lil' girl one day just blurted that she wants a job like Dabi's or tatoos when she grows up 😆

you're so sweet kashdkah i'm on the floor. rolling around. how dare you be so kind. i'm weeping 🥺✨

i definitely think he gets really insecure about it !!! 🥺 bc — he's certainly had his hardships, and while he knows it affected his family in a rough way, too, he's always felt alone in his own shit storm — and that was okay !! bc even if his family were hurt by it, he was really only bringing himself down ?? that's how he sees it. and so for him to go through it all and come out the other side, continuously working on himself, he feels kinda !! like he's doing alright !!!

and then enter you and your baby girl LOL

and as someone that had such a tumultuous relationship with his own father, he's very aware of how the actions of the parent can affect the child — and he's really grateful that he's not her real dad, and that things seem to be okay between you and your ex-boyfriend, but still. that lil' girl cares about him 🥺 and he can tell 🥺 and that really frightens him !! all of the sudden, he's in real deep with this and he can't just run away like he usually does, bc the little life he's destroying is just. too much. SAD

not that he wants to leave, whatsoever, but it's scary !!! and it doesn't help that the lil' bean's dad DOES NOT like him — not that he can blame him too much, because he looks like a criminal and actually IS A CRIMINAL and works in a bar and xyz. but still. hurts to know he has such a huge potential to leave a bad impact on her life somehow 🥺

i think he might consider leaving, when it all becomes too much, bc that's what he's always done !!! and maybe he even tells you, like, "hey, i ain't cut out for this kinda thing," and you're so secure in yourself because you have to be for you and your little bug, that you're like,

"okay, if you don't wanna be here, then don't. i don't want anyone in her life that doesn't want to be."

kggjaglajgjdsgja and it's so STRESSFUL TO HIM !!! i think it would take a good amount of time to feel like he deserves to be there, but every time she hugs him before going off to school or telling him she loves him before he leaves for the day or watches him with her big eyes as bed — it would all be worth it 🥺

If you get this, answer w/ three random facts about yourself and send it to the last seven blogs in your notifs. anon or not, doesn’t matter, let’s get to know the person behind the blog!

So I got this ask twice, so I decided to cheat the system a little but by answering it twice

ON WITH THE FACTS:

I am a very short bean. Like 5 ft BARELY! I'm that creature you see in Walmart who is staring at a wall cause they're too short to get a jar of apple sauce but is too awkward or weird to ask for help like a flipping adult human

I'm a bit chubby. Growing up I was very thin to the point many asked me to my face if I was suffering either abuse or a ED which sucked a lot, and I really hated the fact of shopping purely cause everything would be too big on me. It wasn't until I graduated high school that I finally was gaining some weight and I'm honestly really hella proud of the fact my body shape has change. Yeah I'll deal with the occasional buttface who dare try and judge my jeans or whatever but hey, I love this body and it's little jiggles!

I have two fur babies who I feel like I value their lives more than me. I have a Pitbull-Mastiff mixed dog who's always a huge puppy who just wants to climb into bed and cuddle like the best pillow ever and a Pomeranian-Shin tzu mix who is the toughest boy around but will climb on your lap and lick you nose if you're crying while watching a season final episode, they're my perfect lil and big guy duo!!

Now onto the tagging!

I tag thee:

@annoyinglyshinycherryblossom, @oya-oya-okay, @blondeaxolotl, @crazyyanderefangirlfan, @gay-salt-amber, @simply-one-hell-of-an-otaku, @nullbutler, @imviotrash, and you know what I wanna add another tag since this amazing bean tagged me before so @yourneurodivergentlady I chose you!

See yall in Pt.2!!!

[dandyshucks]

hi dandy ! a ship question : what pkmn does juno have ? have guzma and juno ever traded / gifted pkmn to each other ? what does guzma's pkmn think abt juno, and vice versa? dont feel pressured to answer all of these if u dont want to , just a bunch of questions out of interest ^^ - @dmclr

AWAUUHH HI CLARA !! thank u so much for the questions omg :O !!

i gotta put it under a cut because OUGH AUGH THE RAMBLER'S CURSE GOT ME,,, IT'S SO LONG IM SO SORRY OH MY GOD HELP FSDJKL

my s/i's main team is piplup (Henry), houndoom (Greer), psyduck (Huey), greavard (Grimsby), and a still unnamed chatot and banette (im slooowly playing through platinum so i'm waiting til i catch them in-game to decide on names), buuuut i might swap someone out of there because I've grown to really love my mareep named Mung Bean in pkmn sleep !! :3

I'VE NEVER RLY THOUGHT ABT THE SECOND QUESTION OMG.... guz would absolutely gift juno a wimpod at some point though,, I like to think they go hunt for wimpods sometimes as a shared interest activity :D guzma would also definitely gift juno a cutiefly early on maybe before they start dating because... how could he not HFSDJKL, he is fluent in bug-types and would want to flirt through bug-types hehe :3 also somewhat related, once he finds out about juno's interest in cataloguing the differences in plants in the different regions, he'd probably look into the alolan variants of pkmn (like vulpix and meowth and rattata etc) and then try to impress juno w his (newly acquired) knowledge JFSJKL

juno would absolutely eagerly help him fill out his bug collection with some sinnoh bug-types that alola doesn't have !! (i need to make a list of bug-types that each region has tbh...) they'd gift him some they had in their storage box, and then help him catch any others when they go to sinnoh together :D

ooh okay i have thought abt this third question a bit fdsjkl it's so fun thinking abt the different personalities of their pkmn :3

golisopod puts on a tough act for like. a day at most. and then immediately crumbles and is actually just a big ol' softie so he warms up to juno pretty much immediately fdsjkl. ariados doesn't like juno very much just because juno's a little afraid of him dsgjkl but eventually the two of them come to some sort of mutual understanding where they get along in a vaguely strained manner (guzma never rly understands why the two of them don't get along well and tries to facilitate some bonding moments that go disastrously sideways somehow every time LMAO). scizor is kind of stand-offish and unsure about juno but once juno hangs around for a while and he sees more of them, then he accepts them as one of the squad! pinsir is a little mean (he's just mischievous tbh) and likes messing with juno but they eventually catch onto his pranks and antics, and turns it back on him one day and that earns his respect LMAO. masquerain is just happy that there's more people in the house and gets along really well with Greer to everyone's surprise, so he's a happy camper :] (at some point i want to create a proper team list for guz and maybe come up w names for them hehe)

Henry is a shy but proud lil guy and doesn't really trust Guz at first but trusts Juno's judgement so he warms up to the big boss man soon enough (plus Guz works hard to get on Henry's good side considering Henry never goes into a pokeball so he's around almost all the time LOL). Greer HATES Guz at first 😭 it takes her a long time to tolerate him - she finally starts turning around on her opinion of him when he helps Juno through a flashback/panic attack that she couldn't calm them down from on her own. Huey is super chill, so there's no issues there fdsjkl, I think he'd get along especially well with the grunts tbh LOL they'd probably try giving him a painkiller one day just to see what would happen and he'd be forever indebted to them (Juno finds out later and loses their mind because painkillers aren't made for pokemon and they have to rush him to a pokecenter to get him checked over JFDSKL). and Grimsby loves everyone, if you give him any bit of attention he'll love you forever, so Guzma gets on his good side pretty much right off the bat :3

THANK YOU AGAIN AND I'M SO SORRY ABOUT THE NOVEL-LENGTH ANSWER OMFG 😭😭 these were just such good questions and I could not make my answers any shorter than this HDSGJKL

[arleniansdoodles]

Ooooo is that a lil crush im spying on sigmund 👀👀

Dont worry bby we'll keep your secret for you

I rly liked this chapter! I like that youre expanding Calliope's interactions with her friends, truly its what she deserves. Kratos ajd Atreus would be so proud!

(sidenote how tall are sigmund and signy? im sure youve mentioned it but i suck at remembering 😔)

Hahahaa even the grumpiest of them all can develop some feels! XDD Don't let Sigmund catch on that you've found out about it though lololl

Aww I'm happy to hear you liked it! <33 As important as Atreus is to Calliope, I didn't want him to become her entire world, you know? Our little bean deserves a well-rounded life with plenty of friends :'''D Kratos and Atreus would definitely be proud to see how far she's come!

(No worries at all, I can't remember if I mentioned it either loll! I'd say Signy and Calliope are the same height, with Sigmund being an inch or two taller; but as they grow older, Sigmund will end up being the tallest hahaa)

[sardonic-sprite]

Am I allowed to send this back to the blogger who sent it to me? Well, we're gonna do it anyways.

 Send this to ten other bloggers that you think are wonderful. Keep the game going, make someone smile!!! 🌸

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💗

Wtf I think you unlocked a cheat code? What be this sorcery? Aight well be prepared for me to uno reverse it on you lmao.

FUCK I don't even remember which fics I used before for this, uhhhhh... ok here's the first go-round.

Anywho, next ones...

Oooh, Runaway. This one got to explore Tim and Damian's brother dynamic, but if they got off to a better start. It's also badass motherfucking coffee addicted best big bro Tim (a great version) and smol fight bean so tired just wants to be fucking loved lil bro Damian (also a great version). With a teensy bit of sappy batdad. Only thing I don't like as much is the version of Talia, but it's lowkey needed for the plot so I'll let myself off the hook.

If you ever fall down. This one is actually. Like, it's fair. I'd say it's well-written. But what I take the most pride in is how I was able to rewrite the ending so as to have two options, one with a lowkey Sladick, the other with Jason and Dick Big Bro Teamup. Honestly there's little difference between the versions, but still. I ventured a little beyond my comfort zone, and I'm proud of that.

Bane. Yeah, this one's controversial. Still, I spent SO MUCH BRAINPOWER doing inception levels of theory of mind and like good God... I'm incredibly proud of how I was able to do that, and how I was able to build up the tension and keep people guessing until the end. Maybe that makes me mean. Ah, well, a friend and I are working on a sequel, so it'll turn out fine... after lots more agony. Oops.

A Wretch Like Me. This one... all my Rev Wayne stories have given me Religious Feels but there's something incredibly personal about this one, because when Jason and Bruce talk at the end, it echoes so many times that I talked with my Pastor H about things. I'd like to think he'd be proud of what I wrote, despite it being fanfic. I also published this one on Palm Sunday, so the sacrifice theme was vivid, and it might be the closest I've come to... Understanding passion week.
