"M," Evie says, voice sharp and fond all at the same time. "Babe, we talked about this. You can't just go around tackling people to the ground just because you want to. You're supposed to be a good role model for the children."
Dizzy, who to the best of Mal's knowledge is the only child currently in the house, snickers.
"I'm a great role model," Mal says, choosing not to acknowledge any evidence to the contrary. "I'm like, the best role model ever. Dizzy can back me up here. I'm the coolest, best adult she knows, right Diz?"
"Right!" Dizzy chirps, grinning. She's been experimenting with her hair recently, and the current blonde streaks make her look a little older. With them, she almost looks her actual age, which is horrifying. Cute little Dizzy is supposed to be a kid forever, and not do awful things like grow up and become independent. Mal is firmly in the camp that she's too young to have a nineteen-year-old kid, and helping Dizzy through all the things she never did, like grow up and apply to schools and study for tests and figure out how to deal with building a credit history, are so far beyond her actual comfort zone that they might as well be on the moon.
She's nowhere near responsible enough to help a whole young adult through life, but for some reason the Auradon Adoption committee didn't think things like the harrowing trials of adult life through when they granted Evie temporary guardianship of Dizzy the second that she turned eighteen, so here they are. Five years later, and hopefully not any more fucked-up than they would have been if they'd stayed on the Isle.
"Thank you," Mal says, and doesn't even grimace when she says it. That's personal growth, baybee. "Dizzy, you're my favorite now. Evie, you've been demoted to my favorite girlfriend, which is a very competitive place, and if you want to stay there, you'd better be nice to me, because I could have other girlfriends in a heartbeat if I wanted—oof!"
"Mal." Evie says very seriously, from an inch above Mal's face. "Babe. I love you, but I'm also going to murder you right here if you don't stop talking."
#dizzy is a sweet child and I love her#but also she basically got adopted by evie (and I stand by this)#so in this AU that means she’s had the wildly codependent polycule as her primary role models for most of her teenage years#she’s fine it’s all fine#she’s a very mature and competent young person now#but her adoptive guardian is NOT the height of a normal adult role model#and she probably has some guilt about making Evie’s life and schedule harder than it would have been without her there#anyway someday I’m going to type up the family structures for this AU and it’s going to be a ~nightmare~#the isle kids take a unique approach to relationships#which is mostly that you CAN cling to everyone you love#if you just try hard enough#anyway#my fic#descendants

Ruby: Yeaaaah, The Doctor just constantly trauma dumped on me starting from the day we met
Yasmin Khan, who has finally been convinced to come back to companion support group after finding out that The Doctor settled down with a family 48 hours after leaving her: I have to leave
#everything can be made about 13 and yaz if you try hard enough#doctor who#ruby sunday#yaz khan#yasmin khan#thasmin#sort of#char.txt#edit: let the record show that this isnt me actually hating on this#as like a writing thing- litterally just the way it was delivered v clunkly but i think its an interesting character choice#and i think its funny and insane that the doctor is pulling a complete 180 after being 13

Classic Zelda games: "So Link doesn't talk because he's meant to resemble you the player 🥰"
Echoes of Wisdom: "Link doesn't talk because his ability to speak was physically taken from him by a dark force"
(edit: since I need people to understand Link can't talk at all. It was forced out of him. It's not a choice. That part of him was consumed)
#there's something genuinely so terrifying about suddenly not being able to talk anymore no matter how hard you tried#im still in the process of playing the game so no further spoilers#i just wanted to ramble about this#we're actually getting more lore on link and i think its so cool#legend of zelda echoes of wisdom#echoes of wisdom#spoilers#echoes of wisdom spoilers#eow spoilers#im going to try not rambling too much about the game until i complete it or in a month or so#legend of zelda#scamperin shroom spouts nonsense#the angst potential is so real. i also got some wholesome headcanons when i was playing already#i dont draw enough zelda content and im sorry for that. im one of the biggest zelda fans. please believe me 🙏#eow link is like ariel 💀

drew these for heart pirates day and uhhhh ep1115
#one piece#trafalgar law#fanart#my art#bepo one piece#heart pirates#sachi one piece#penguin one piece#canon doesnt exist if we try hard enough#if *I* try hard enough#also i like to think my guy just had a period where after he recovered he took the time to just. bask under the sun. suntanning.#cus my guy went from pasty pale as hell to enough melanin to put me to shame#/j i never had a chance to tan much to begin with lmao but you get my point#also also id like to think he uses bepo as like. a beach mat or smth. idk waht you call those. the things people lie on to suntan idk#like he already uses bepo as a pillow wahts stopping him to lie on top of him to sunbathe#also also also if youd like to know uhhh that beach day drawing?? inspired by when bepo swam away w law on top of him idk that was in my#mind for WEEKS when i read the manga#that and i just want them to goof off#also uhh ep 1115 a day AFTER heart pirates day was just cruel like damn#bepo's desperation got to me#also polar tang :((( man :((((( where are they getting another old man to build them another submarine :((

im sorry but i choose to believe that tim drake is the most insufferable "my man, my man, my man" girl about bear. he does not shut up about him. steph is cooking smth in the kitchen? oh my man can do that. bear cooks really well. dick triaging some poor victim on an emergency site? oh my man is really good at that. mhmm, bear is on his way to becoming a paramedic. damian building something? oh my man is really good with power tools. have you ever seen him build ikea? it takes him less than an hour. for our anniversary, he built me a coffee table. mhmm isn't he amazing? yeah my man did that. yeah my man, mhmm that's my ma-
#and on and on and on#like it never fucking stops#jason gets a tattoo? tim manifests in the tattoo parlor to talk about his man's tattoos#'yeah they're sooo gorgeous! he has a grasshopper over his heart cause that's what he calls me! yeah that's like his little nickname for me#'and there's two cardinals in flight on his forearms! isn't that sooo cute!!! he says he's keeping me with him!!!'#and like everyone thought is was cute at first bc like first gay relationship!!! let tim gush about his boyfriend!!!#but then it like quickly and i mean quickly became annoying#like dick puts on his police uniform and tim immediately is like 'have you seen my man in his paramedic uniform? dont his biceps#look so good in it? and he's providing service for those in need without being a pig! isn't my man so great!'#and dick just has to sit there with his eye twitching bc the last time he tried to defend his police job the whole family laughed so hard#they almost cried.#also i hope you know that all of tim's lines are said in a valley girl accent. with the tone of a woman who is so fucking annoying about#her man. like he's the kinda guy at sunday brunch 2 mimosas deep trying to one up bart on like who has the better bf#spoiler alert bart wins only for the sole fact that he's not annoying about kon the way tim is about bear#meanwhile the rest of the group is creating enough of a ruckus that they're like 2 seconds away from getting kicked out of dennys#and while i would like to say that bear knows about this i just think that he has such hearteyes for tim that it completely flies over his#head. like he sees tim and he turns into a fucking idiot. he's putting in the saline line wrong he's doing chest compressions on a guy#who is perfectly fine. he's letting the steak burn on the stove#so theyre like both fucking useless together. and i think that's love.#bernard dowd#tim drake#timbern#timber

Torchwood gets massive props from me for using the "character gets tricked into thinking they did something terrible and confesses it to their loved one" trope with the loved one instead of freaking out just going "no you fucking didn't. We're going to figure out what's actually going on here"
#Seriously I was cringing so hard expecting some big freak out but then Jack was like 'no you didn't do that's#And he was clever enough to try multiple strategies to figure out what was going on with Ianto!#Like my brother was like 'u can open your eyes now Jack isn't stupid'#Who is stupid is Adam who still tries the whole 'i made them better!' argument on Jack#After making Jack's boyfriend have a traumatic panic attack by implanting fake memories in his head#Like Adam girly just replace his memories of reading the diary to include you and then steal and hide the diary#Torchwood#Jack Harkness#Ianto Jones#Janto

Dishonourable Demonstration
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#ouyang zizhen#jin ling#lan jingyi#lan sizhui#nameless red disciple#Ended up scraping the tying up scene because this episode was getting bloated#There are a lot of fun scenes I will be covering though!#All the juniors in the room *know* what's going on here and have to just be polite about it.#Even if they don't know the exact tradition of the ribbon they can extrapolate the intent.#WWX just got dragged into the room like a bunny in a snare and shown off like a fine prize. There is very little room for doubt.#Remember when I said the juniors seeing HGJ so love struck was like seeing your principal ling on the desk twirling the phone cord?#yeah this is like: The principal has set up a full wedding reception in his office. You are there for detention.#He is asking your opinion on napkin colours and if the neckline on his dress is too low or not low enough.#Once again...poor wwx is the last to know. (Not really - he's aware that this is a social faux pas and is trying very hard to keep-#lwj's social face in tact. He's not oblivious! He just doesn't think this has anything to do with *him* specifically)

his horns (finials) (idk)(ears)(whatever) shaking... the jumping ??? the struggling 😭 the off center twitching ..he is PISSED. AWF !!!!!!
#his defeat being planned makes this either hes playing up his rage bcs he definitely played up his defeat#or a mixture of playing up his rage and actually being a little pissed bcs he wanted to get more licks in but couldnt#anyways i cant take him sersiouly with those big ass ears#like an angry kitten trying to escape the burrito calm down blanket of doom#his helmet shape is so cute to me inearth spark it almost looks like a 80s mom hairstyle with the hair#cropping a symmetrical curve around her face or smthing#tbh if u are delusional enough all soundwaves are hot moms#i mean come on it's a given#except the animated one. he was freshly birthed. a little baby#megatron and optimus watching him freak like : 😦#optimus: so he served under you#megatron : oh Yes 😼..#meg: iMEAN yeah 😦#meg: i mean .. yes 😞..#need somebody to clip all soundwave appearances pls all seasons need it. NOWW!!!!!!!#at first i wasnt a big fan of his voice bcs i think when ppl try to harden that demonic voice underneath the autotune factor#which is rlly cool#they can kinda go too hard and it sounds almost too cartoony like a cartoon monster villain whos not calculated but vry primal#which goes against soundwaves whole cool calculated spy techno soundguy thing#but im warmed up to it now bcs it's a cute contrast like. u see this beautiful mech with magnificent curves & ure like omg hey hot mama#and then a voice from the 9th circle of hell growls at you like thats lowkey hilarious#dont mess with a bad bitch !!!!!! who just had a bad break up!!!!#he WILL kill u !!!!!!!!#soundwave#transformers#maccadam#tf#tf es#tf earthspark#arcee
