#it was just kids and teens drawing and making stories and having fun

Technical Girlboss and Definite Girlfailure? ⁉️

I’m still figuring out this concept 😭 it takes a while especially when university makes you pause.

You all know I really enjoyed doing GunnTech stuff and honestly, I’ve always preferred Sci-Fi (Or like.. Tears of The Kingdom brand of fantasy, or The Magnus Archives’ dark academia fantasy.) But Disney literally technically owns GunnTech 😭💔 So I could never do anything with it fully.

So this drawing goes down the sci fi route I suggested (Named Project Knight?). In some kind of Dystopian world (I have to mention here that I am a HUGE fan of The Hunger Games, but we don’t have time for all of that), kids are basically turned into peacekeepers or enforcers or whatever bad government police have you.

So it’s not 100% like GunnTech where the world outside the facility is nice and normal. Here the world is definitely screwed and PK is both keeping it that way (it could get so much better without them) and keeping it that way (it could get so so much worse without them).

Sidra’s their best soldier but that’s like.. probably cause— Either— too many procedures and power science stuff screwed her brain and made her lose empathy and a sense of.. the opposite of recklessness, or to make a good soldier they’ve inhibited her empathy somehow. The downside of whatever they did is that she is very very hard to control. They’re in charge of a living weapon who likes to have fun.

And then there’s Jules who had the opposite end where they hurt her body more than her brain so she basically got thrown out with nothing once she wasn’t useful. Thankfully someone found her and now she’s (unlike my first concept) another protag and an adult or at least older teen (it’s sort of like a game where you can choose either to play with, they’re part of the same world and same story but have different routes). She’s incredibly smart but that like, loops around to make her fail somehow 😭.

This would have less of a fun Amphibia vibe but like.. more TMA, hunger games, dark academia but also slight fantasy.. I don’t know, I should probably just stop trying to describe it!

I've been thinking of an Au like this for a couple of months, so I made some shitty drawings to get some of it out of my system, lol

Me yapping about this Au ⬇️

So when I say "Logan" or "Runaways" Au I don't mean like literally swapping the characters and putting NextGen characters in the existing story, it's more like the general idea of the movie/comics with some plotpoints but not the exact same(?) I hope what I said makes sense lmao 😭

In this Au mutants are still relatively unknown and hidden from the population, but the Malfoys, who are very known and loved for their contributions to medicine and all of the other businesses they own, have known about mutants for a very long time now, and they actually are part of a big anti-mutant organization where they test possible "cures" and weapons for when mutants decide to "rebel" against humanity, even more now that some mutant called Harry Potter has been making some noise they have already tried and failed to silence.

17 year old Scorpius Malfoy, oblivious to all this tries to be the perfect son for his father while also grieving the (suspicious) death of his mother, he's been feeling weird lately, and he also has a big interest in genetics, not only because he knows he'd have to work in Transigen when he grows up like the rest of his family, but because of some weird sightings of interesting people in the past year.

Some stuff happens, and he discovers the truth about his family's business, the inhuman experiments tried on mutant kids, and a deadly weapon called X-19 that they created and actually have been using for a couple of years to kill important people like politicians and mafia lords while earning enormous amounts of money with it.

This "weapon" is actually a teen around the same age as Scorpius, and somehow he ends up running away with him, albeit kinda not on purpose, on top of all that he also very recently discovered that he himself is a mutant, so things are not looking good.

Some more things I've thought about 🥸

Albus and Scorpius are both 17, and their bond is definitely going to turn romantic at some point in the future bc I love them, they're boyfriends in every universe, I don't make the rules.

Albus name is X-19 as a reference to the epilogue begging with "19 years later" lmao.

Also, since his name was X-19, someone in Transigen who was part of the crew in charge of him and felt bad for him started calling him "Severus" in an attempt to give him a real name, I won't give too much details about this but that's the reason Scorpius says "Severus" in my fanart, "Albus" is a name he'd get later.

Albus was created in a lab, BUT I want him to have both Harry and Ginnys genes, I want Ginny to be the one who has the same mutation as him, so since this is kinda a gender reversal, she has claws like Laura's while Albus has Logan's, and we all know Albus looks a lot like Harry, so I like the idea that he was made specifically to resemble him, just to fuck with their heads when a teen that looks just like Harry and has Ginnys mutation is used against them.

As for Scorpius powers, I mostly made them up lol, it's a pretty basic teleportation with the fact that his skin becomes white the more he uses his powers bc I really wanted him to develop a physical mutation that would eventually (propably) out him as a mutant, also he can only teleport to places he has already been to before, if he hasn't been to a place he cannot go there, but since he's so new to his powers he can't control where he's going yet lol.

I think that's it 🤓 I still have nothing set since this is just for silly fun and I could change my mind at anytime, tbh I doubt anyone would read all that, but I had to let it out, I do want to write a fic someday, but if I draw slow, I write even slower 😭 I hope my English didn't fail me cause lately I haven't been Englishing very well lmao, byeee.

Kid Villains, pt 2.

Decided to post more kiddy villains, bit of a sequel to this. First up is Kitten, Mothman's bratty daughter from the 2003 teen titan cartoon:

Modeled her costume after the Rosy Maple Moth, while there are species of moths with the name kitten on them I figured she would prefer a pink outfit.

Thought it'd be kinda cool for her to be a villain for the batkids, she's already evil so why not. I don't imagine her to be all that talented at the job tho she would still be very dangerous if you underestimate her. I think she would work particularly well against Steph, being that Mothman started as a villain for Barbara (Cass might be too high level for her tbh).

Here's some more doodles:

Here's my Scarecrow's sidekick oc, I should probably name her something like Rag Doll or Raggedy Scream maybe? The three boys are oc's modeled after the Terrible Trio, criminals who commit crimes wearing animal masks. Their identities change a lot over continuities, so these kids are probably aspiring to be the next incarnation of this group.

Here's another random oc, a sidekick for White Rabbit (Jaina Hudson). Thought it'd be funny if it was just a kid in a silly rabbit suit, like what the kid wore in that movie, A Christmas Story. I'm not sure on what his personality should be. Maybe someone genuinely nice, a cheerful, polite boy who likes to hand people bombs (unintentionally dangerous) or maybe someone pretending to be nice but is actually malicious. Whatever's funnier I suppose.

Here's some characters inspired by the Super Friends enemies, the Super Foes. You'd see some of them return for the Robins 2021 mini, except for Toy Boy. Giggles and Guffaw are newer, only appearing in the mini.

I messed with their designs a bit to make them more unique looking. Honeysuckle for example was shown with either red or brown hair but I gave her a sorta dark maroon, thought it contrasted well with her green outfit. Honeysuckle btw, is older than the rest, and is more of an enemy to Dick and Barbara, tho her teenage self has no problem attacking the younger sibs.

Also Giggles and Guffaw might look a little similar to a certain anime starring a group of sextuplets, just being a little funny there. I gave these kids some made up names, mostly taken from whatever writer created them. Couple of them worked out pretty well actually, like Bridwell (well, spring, stream) and Estrada (Road).

This next one is a character from the 2004 cartoon The Batman, which I never actually watched but I did see commercials of. His name is Prank ( Donnie ?), a protege of the Joker. He wasn't evil enough to stick it out, but I gotta say I just loved his costume (esp how the jacket resembles Robins coat a bit). Made up a last name for him, just a random one from searching up famous clowns.

Being Barbara's peer, he's also more of a antagonist for the older kids, decided he and Honeysuckle should friends. I kinda want to use them as a sorta contrast to Babs and Dick, that could be fun to do. Also look at baby Dick, I don't draw him enough at this age.

Speaking of Barbara, I've been going back and forth between having her start out as either 12 or 16. All the other kids start out really young, so it makes sense for Babs to do so as well. But I kinda like the thought of her starting out much older, makes her more unique among the batkids (in pre-crisis she became Batgirl in like her 20s btw, cool huh?)

More various rivals for the kids to fight, excluding my oc Pink Rabbit, all of them more antagonists for the kids themselves rather sidekicks of the villains that Batman fights.

Here's Jason and Steph torturing poor little Enigma, who would be considered the bad guy here?

Here's some more proteges, Holly probably exists in this world, she's a bit too old for all this nonsense tho. Kitten is also a Super Foes member and was in Robins 2021 as well, she's been shown to be a sidekick to the Cheetah and Catwoman. Maybe she's just likes to attach herself to any cat-themed villain.

Crazy Quilt is more of an enemy to Robin than Batman, plus he has his own legacy in Crazy Quilt II, so obviously I had to include them. I wonder what name should I give the younger one, Duvet? Silly Blankie? idk

Lastly here's Earth 3(?) Jason Todd as Talon II paying a visit to the Training Wheels universe, seems like hes a bit of a crybaby. I don't think we've seen a earth 3 variant of Jason, so I'm just making up my own version of him. Wonder why he seems so nervous...

Anyways!! That was a lot, hope you liked all that!

Had a quick thought about cloud recesses arc wangxian and bunny stories

After realizing lwj is soft for bunnies wwx star drawing them for him, it quickly evolves into litro illustrated stories of the bunnies’ adventures

Lz is quietly hoarding them but acting like he doesn’t care until the bunnies are named!!! Wwx names them either something stupid like blackbunny and whitebunny or Worse, names them after other people like Chengcheng and Sangsang

Which makes the story go back to wy with the names crossed out, they go back and forth until the names are agreed/wy knows the bunnies names (lxc can help w that, I’d doubt teen wangji would fess up about naming the bunnies after them)

After the whole name thing wwx starts to expect and needle lwj about his opinions and ideas…

Wangxian colaborating to create cute comics, the ideas are many:

Do they put other characters later on? Are they all bunnies or is there other animals? (The annoying peacock showing up as a minor antagonist lmao) are the bunnies cultivators, do they go in night hunts?

It could end up educational, let a Random Lan Elder who deals with the smallest kids see they doing it, reading and deciding that it will be used with the baby lans, and also- copies will be put on the library…

Poor lz would probably be mortified… his first contribution to the library: the comics about his self insert bunny having fun with his crush’s bunny sona…. Oh no

(Meanwhile wwx would be distracted bc if the library would like copies of silly stories that what else does it have? Lz, why did u only show me the boring books?? (He didnt show shit, wwx just assumed the stuff lwj read was what the library had))

when other people somehow reads them they’ll go “i didn’t know stories about gay bunnies could be so interesting wth”

Which them could make wwx go “wait, they’re right, the bunnies are kinda married aren’t they?”

Hello! Love your work!

Can you do headcanons for Hosea with a daughter? (Or child if you'd prefer gender neutrality)

She's his kid with Bessie, and I was wondering how the two would be, growing up in the gang, how he'd be as a father, how she'd be with the other members, whatever you'd like to write!

As for her age, I'm thinking young adult during the events of the game, maybe John's age too

Thank you!

Hosea with a Child

Gender Neutral language!

Genre: Fluff! Some angst - No game spoilers Featuring: Dad!Hosea, Platonic John, Platonic Arthur Warnings: Mentions of death and grief

AN: I hope you like these! I really enjoyed writing this request it was so cute and fun to think about Hosea as a dad raising a kid in the gang <3 Thank you so much

---> Requests are open! Check out my guidelines if you have any questions!

<><><><>

Childhood Years:

According to Hosea, you were the only good thing he had ever done with his life.

Being his only child with Bessie, you were spoiled as much as he could afford. As an infant you were given the warmest blankets, the softest toys, and the most attention he could give you.

That short period of time where he left the gang was around the time that you were born after him and Bessie’s wedding. He wanted to give you a proper childhood away from the hardship of the life of an outlaw.

As he said himself, though, the life just draws you back in.

When he went back to Dutch he brought you and Bessie with him.

Hosea worshiped and adored you. Everything he did in the gang he convinced himself was for you and Bessie.

He told you the story of Robin Hood as you grew old enough to understand stories before bedtime. He’d sit you in front of the fire and smile as you gazed up at him in wonder while he told the tale of the hero who stole from the rich to give to the poor.

During the earlier years of the gang, when they still stole for the good of others in one way or another, you always thought of Hosea as Robin Hood - he was a hero to you.

You started calling Dutch “Uncle Dutch” and considered many other members of the gang as family.

You were only eight when Arthur was brought in to the group. You followed him like a shadow and it warmed Hosea’s heart to see you trying to play with another kid (even though Arthur was fourteen by this time - he was still the youngest person for you to hang around).

Since Hosea eventually started viewing Arthur as a son, you viewed him as your badass older brother.

Teen Years:

By the time you turned fifteen, you were expected to start contributing to the gang. Most of the time you were just a pickpocket. Hosea didn’t want you robbing trains or putting yourself in any real danger, and Bessie wouldn’t allow you to do anything that could taint your soul (as she would put it).

For a while you were just quick and sneaky.

Arthur watched over you whenever you went into town to grab a few coins and watches from the people walking through the streets just in case anyone caught on to your act and you needed assistance.

You whined to Hosea that you felt like he didn’t trust you to take care of yourself since Arthur was always babysitting you, Hosea said he’d figure something out. He knew you could take care of yourself, of course.

He fixed it by telling Arthur to be sneakier while he was watching you.

Once you turned sixteen, Hosea started taking you on hunting trips with him. He wanted to make sure you could take care of yourself and your mom in case anything happened to him.

“Give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, he’ll eat forever.” He’d say on nearly every hunting trip the two of you went on.

“But we’re hunting deer, Pop, not fishin’.” You’d correct him and he’d just wave his hand in the air as if to dismiss you. “Same concept, kid.” He’d retort.

At seventeen, John joined the Van Der Linde gang. It was the first time there was someone exactly your age near you daily that you got to interact with.

At first, John was following Arthur around like a puppy and it made you so jealous. You complained to Hosea about it, you said John was taking your brother from you and it wasn’t fair.

Hosea laughed lightly whenever you dramatically groaned and whined and told you to give it time, John would become your friend as well.

Hosea was right of course, as always. After a month or two the amazement over Arthur Morgan wore off and John became a great friend of yours.

The two of you bickered a lot, though. Being the same age and all, you were constantly at each other’s throats.

Bessie always said that you and John were like an old married couple. That comment caused you two to look at each other gag over dramatically.

Young Adulthood (around the events of the game):

When your mom, Bessie, died a part of you died with her. Hosea might as well have died too.

For a year, he never left his bed and when he did it was only to grab another bottle of whiskey to drown his sorrows in.

Some days were better than others during he grieving, but there were weeks that would go by when he couldn’t bear to look at you.

You had Bessie’s eyes and her smile. You had all the best parts of Bessie and seeing her in you but not seeing her made Hosea’s heart shatter all over again.

During this time you depended on Arthur and John to be your rocks. They were the ones who kept your focus away from the black hole of grief eating away at your insides. And during the days that the grief was too much to handle, they pat your back and held your hand while you let yourself rot away in bed.

Some nights John would come to see you when he couldn’t sleep and the two of you would cry over Bessie until you drifted out of consciousness.

Everyone felt her death deeply.

As time goes by, your wounds have healed as have Hosea’s. He sobered up and after a long crying session where all you two did was hold each other and reminisce over Bessie, you were a family again.

During the events at Blackwater, you were Hosea’s first priority. He got you packed and to safety as fast as he could once it was time to flee.

In that huge snowstorm on your way east, Hosea gave you his extra jacket and gloves to keep you warm. You rode in the wagon with Abigail and Jack, huddling with them for warmth and assuring them that John would be okay and back soon.

For a while after Blackwater, Hosea refused to let you out of his sights. After what happened with Bessie and the chaos that was that whole situation, you were the only thing he lived for. He couldn’t have anything happen to you.

You didn’t complain, either. You didn’t want to be away from him for a while. You were terrified during Blackwater, terrified you’d lose him or John or Arthur. You let him baby you and watch over you like a hawk as long as it gave his mind peace.

At Horseshoe Overlook, you went hunting with Hosea as often as you could. It was like a tradition for the two of you.

“Give a man a fish,” He’d start his lecture on the importance of learning survival skills and you’d have to stifle a groan and a laugh.

You’d probably heard that phrase nearly a million times at that point. He always said fish, too. Never changed it for whatever you were hunting.

Hosea wasn’t only your father, but your best friend. He was the best person you knew despite his occupation, and you adored him with your entire being.

He wasn’t technically a good man, but he was a great dad.

I hope you enjoyed these!! Thank you for reading

Man, imagine being Elder Faerie cookie and trying to rest in peace after White Lily cookie seals away the beasts...

Only to find out that they have children who, although are mortal, are still more powerful than even their parents.

Time for a little rant about the children of the beasts- They are more powerful than the beasts because unlike the beasts, they were born with the power of the souljam infused in their very dough. This is only the case with the beast children, since the beasts were created with the souljams. This means they don't need to have any souljam in their possession to use their power

Fun fact!- originally the storyline with the beast kids is that they would have only met their parents when they were teens. I originally wanted it to be a story where the beasts were sealed away and kids were under the care of their parents servants and were trying to find their parents without knowing that they were in the silver tree. The idea was scrapped because it would have messed with the canon timeline too much.

Lastly, I have thought of making more fanchildren and here's my reasons for why I haven't made anything official yet:

I was waiting to see how Silent Salt and Eternal Sugar would look like for me to base their children's designs off them. Now that Eternal Sugar cookies design has been leaked, I can finally start working on her child (a son cuz I keep creating daughters)

Rich Cheese cookie was originally supposed to be included, but I never found the time to draw her. Also, I felt like changing her name to Gold leaf cookie, since Gold leaf is very fitting for her. Till now I'm still working on what to do with her.

Burning Spice cookie and HollyBerry cookie give me the same issues. HollyBerry is canonically a grandmother already, meaning I can't really create a fanchild for her. To top it off, I can't give Princess cookie a fanchild just to compensate because in my au, she should be roughly around the same age as the fanchildren.

With Burning Spice cookie, it's really just a situation where Capscaisin cookie and Chili Pepper cookie, although not canonically proven, are considered Burning Spice cookies children. It brings me to a point where I feel obligated to make the fanchild his grandkid, which would make one of the two be a parent. This is the main issue, because I don't see Chili Pepper cookie being a parent and I ship Capscaisin and Prune juice cookie, which complicates my life even more-

What jobs could AOT characters have? 🌻

Ahhhhh I love this one! LET'S GO!

What jobs could AOT characters have?

Eren: He strikes me as someone who changes jobs often. He'd get bored of one activity pretty quickly. To him, his job is just a way to earn some money that he can use to have fun with his friends. Pensions who, am I right?

Mikasa: Kindergarten carer. Her motherly personality is perfect for this, and she loves kids so much. The kids also love being lifted high up in the air so they often use Mikasa as a seesaw.

Armin: Teacher, most likely geography. He's the type to travel the world and teach in different countries. This lifestyle allows him to learn more about local cultures, languages and traditions. It fascinates him!

Annie: Traveling the world with Armin means finding work can be quite tough unless you know the language. When she can, she will work as a bartender. She quite enjoys mixing drinks and listening to people's life stories. She gets fired pretty often for her lack of customer service etiquette though.

Jean: Corporate job. He wanted to be an artist but didn't quite try hard enough, so now he's stuck between grey walls that drive him insane. The pay is good thankfully, so in his spare time he can afford luxurious trips and dinners. Reiner often encourages him to keep working towards his dream of becoming an artist and even offers to pose for Jean to draw.

Reiner: Counsellor. He likes being able to help people get over their troubles just like he did with his own. It's not an easy job but it's very rewarding when successful. Though, sometimes he ends up being the patient while Jean listens to him complain about his life. Or Pieck... or Annie... or...

Connie: Personal trainer. This dude will get you into the exact shape that you want. It's so hard to keep up with him, he's way faster than you. More agile, more flexible. How the hell does he bend like that? One day you try to do the same, but you end up in hospital. Don't worry, Connie has insurance.

Sasha: Camp instructor! Loves organizing all sorts of activities with kids and teens including archery, canoeing, climbing, hiking. She loves being in nature. The only thing she hates about this job is the horror story time around the campfire.

Pieck: Work? Pieck? Nah! If anyone's got some sort of sugar daddy, it would be Pieck. She lives incredibly comfortably for someone who appears to be both single and unemployed. Ah, the joys of being both incredibly beautiful and incredibly devilish.

Falco and Gabi: They are still young, so the best they could do is work over the summer at a theme park. The pay is shit but the location is amazing and they get to ride for free!

Yelena: Lawyer. Like, we all know Yelena. It's better to have her on your side than be against her. And it's even better if she's your lawyer. You could get away with almost anything! Right??

Zeke: Baseball instructor. He trains the local team and is known as one of the best players in the area. Now he uses his time to help kids learn how to play. Legend says Zeke can throw a ball so far away that some are still stuck orbiting around Earth.

Onyankopon: Pilot. Passengers usually take a liking to him. He's so charismatic and friendly. He enjoys making jokes over the radio with the other members of the crew. The amazing views is what he loves the most about his job. And the free snacks.

Levi and Hange: This man's in no shape to do any kind of physical work right now, but instead aids Hange with her job. She owns a private Pathology clinic. How does Levi help, exactly? Well he makes sure she stays hydrated and does her taxes. Basically a secretary of some sorts. He even has a cute nameplate on his desk.

Can you do one where Ror Family and their teen child having a game night. This game is about confessions and it's the readers turn. There confession is a double jeopardy one were they have to confess something that maybe debatebly worse than what they were originally going confess. So the reader shuffles into the make shift confession booth muttering about possibly losing some privileges over what they were about to say, while their friend jokes about the booth being familiar. There confession was about them sneaking around with someone and possibly making out in a confession booth. Now this story may seem familiar to someone, because it is since it happened in Hell while Beelzubub was tasked with watching her over the summer trip they'll have there. He also almost caught them. So that's that's, the reader admitting they had a summer fling.

-You were initially worried about this game, Confession Time, when your family brought it up as a way to have fun while also exposing some juicy secrets.

-Each person would draw a card, and it would say what kind of secret they had to confess in the confession booth, a large Amazon box with a hole cut into it.

-However, a half an hour in, you were clutching at your ribs, unable to handle the pain as you had been dying of laughter as some of the secrets that came out were hysterical- mainly because it caused several fights and lots of yelling.

-It was your turn, and you swallowed, feeling a bit nervous as you drew your card and you immediately slapped your hand over your eyes, “Can I say a swear word?!” laughter filled the room as Loki leaned over, “Y/N pulled the Double Trouble!”

-The Double Trouble card was the worst card to pull, as you had to tell the biggest secret you had, or risk getting a punishment- you had seen several of those already, and you didn’t want anything to do with those!

-Loki cackled loudly, throwing an arm around your shoulders, “Of course you can- no penalty!” Brunnhilde went to scold Loki, but you were quicker as you whined out, “Fuck~~~~~” more laughter filled the room as Adam tried to give you a stern look but was badly hiding his smile.

-You crawled into the confession booth, your arms crossing as you pouted lightly as Apollo grinned, “Okay Y/N- since you pulled the Double Trouble- you have to tell us the worst secret you have.”

-You remained silent for a moment before you asked a question, “Will I get into trouble for this?” a few glances were passed around as Loki grinned, “Nope- that’s the magic of Double Trouble- you have to tell us the secret, but you won’t get into trouble.”

-You hesitated only for a moment longer before you sighed, your eyes closing, “Okay- you guys remember the summer camp from last year- where I was a counselor.”

-Beelzebub’s eyes went wide, as he knew this secret, as he had been watching over you at camp, since it was co-ed, just to be on the safe side, but he trusted you and your decisions.

-You bit your bottom lip as you bounced your leg lightly before you inhaled, taking the plunge, “So you remember when the kids had to go home a day early and the counselors stayed- well we had a party to celebrate the end of the season. My friend, B/N was there too, and things got a little too wild and we… well I… it was… B/N and I had some extra fun that night in the lifeguard house.”

-Jaws were on the floor and eyes were wide, hearing how you had a summer fling last year and kept it from them, well- at least most of them as Beelzebub kept his mouth shut- because while you weren’t getting into trouble- if he said something he would be for not saying anything sooner.

-Everyone gave you crap for several days for doing the dirty last year, teasing you, and while Adam wasn’t overly pleased- he trusted you, as nothing happened so he let it be.

-B/N on the other hand, was glared at by several of your family members for several days when he came to visit, and he had to keep his head low after you told him that you told your family about your fling last year.

-However, neither you nor B/N regretted it.

[votive-candle]

So I've been considering a rebrand on this blog for a long time for "professional" reasons... like changing my username, making an official portfolio with my name to it elsewhere, etc.

This idea has been mostly motivated by this deep insecurity I have surrounding what I would say is either NSFW work, suggestive art, "fangirl" energy, all that. And it's... frustrating, to say the least. And difficult express in a way that's coherent. Because my personal feelings are that art, even art that within the sphere of industry that I want to approach (ie. game art & story design, character writing and so on), should not have to be confined within this box of "sensibilities" that I'm told it should be.

If I was doing fine art like painting, or making installations, or sculpture, I get a sense that this puritanical ideology of self-censorship would not be expected of me. I also get a sense that if I was born male and lived as a man, there would be different industry expectations of me also. If I was a cis dude I don't think a game director would mind if I had a portfolio full to the brim with borderline naked, hypersexualised women and girls with big swords and huge racks (no shade, big boobs and big swords are fun and cool). But -- and again I don't have evidence of this, it's just a hunch -- I somehow get this idea that the way I approach drawing masculine figures? The way I write and express myself through, and speak about characters? The sexually explicit artwork I've drawn over the years, which majoritively does not even show genitalia? I get this gut feeling that this would be much less... palatable (?) in the industry for commercial, media focused art.

I've been drawing sexual content since I was a teen fangirl and I think it's really strange that somehow, as I get older and more mature (and I'm serious here, like really, let that sink in? I was told directly "you're not a kid anymore, potential employers won't like this" in response to shipping art an old tutor saw me post online a few years back?), it's considered in many ways less appropriate for me to produce explicit or sexually themed artwork. Particularly when that art has that air of "fangirl" (or "fan-person" in regards to myself) around it. Because "fangirls" aren't professional, are they? They're vapid, of course. They don't consume art meaningfully, not like strong, stoic men do. No, they just want their shipping and their coffeeshop AU's and their moodboards, and there's nothing creative in that, is there? No "professional practice" there.

I just find that... baffling

I'm speaking from the perspective of someone who is borderline asexual on that spectrum, and always has been. Somehow, professionalism is partly hinged on making your art less exploratory of adult themes, once you become an adult, once you're old enough to understand and properly illustrate the importance of adult themes. Isn't that strange to anyone else? Because to me it feels wrong.

Like I said, I'm borderline asexual. I don't draw sexual content to get my rocks off. I draw it because I find physical intimacy to be one of the most multifascited expressions of humanity between people. Sex and sexuality are so dynamic in their capacity for storytelling. With it (and safely so through fiction, if you're careful about it), you can express and explore so much; passion obviously, love, but also sadness and grief and condolence, malice and rage, heartbreak, self-destruction, self-improvement, excitement, fun, even just friendship.

Sex is beautifully dynamic from a humanistic standpoint. It shouldn't need to be considered this looming force of demonitisation, or an industry blockade. And I understand I have drawings that are too graphic, too NSFW to put in a professional portfolio, to leave online for employers to see. But I'm not even talking about smut here.

Majoritively, I really don't want to distance myself from a lot of this work I've created. It means something to me dude, because these characters and stories mean something to me. Sometimes the drawing itself is just... a technically well executed drawing. I don't want to revoke that because there's an implication of "ooh, someone's touching ass, breast and dick in there!"

Yet by expressing my excitement over that, I do feel cornered. Like I'll never get hired anywhere. Which isn't easy given the struggles I already have with disability, mental health, etc. So I feel a need to sort of give in and retcon a lot of my posts.

I don't like that finding work in the fields I'm interested in kind of hinges on a lack of self-expression, I suppose. I find it bitterly ironic since I want to work in creative fields. It feels like a betrayal of the self and of the purpose of art and good media for grown individuals.

But hey, I guess that's capitalism, baby.

This blog might change a bit in the near or semi-near future. Maybe a new username or profile pic, I'm not sure yet. Maybe a second blog will pop up somewhere. I just wanted to vent a bit on my disdain in having to make these decisions. Beg your pardon.

[meg-noel-art]

can I come in and ask/yap stuff about the fankids? What are your headcanons re the more domestic stuff? A common headcanon is that Cait can't cook, what's your view on it? what about the kids? Can they or do they have an interest in it? How are Cait and Vi with the idea of their daughters dating?

YES YIPPEE LET'S GO THANK YOU

I think Cait can cook the bare minimum, but I feel like she never really HAD to ;-; we never SAW any staff for the mansion persay, but it's hard to imagine they didn't have that.

I also think Vi likes to cook, so she takes the initiative to do it more.

I think she had to learn young to help care for her siblings, but post series it's allowed to become a skill she grows for fun!

(Shameless self plug) I wrote a fic for Caitlyn’s birthday where the kids attempt to cook a breakfast for her that Vi thankfully helps with before they set the kitchen on fire.

I imagine they enjoy other things though! Corinne likes to draw and paint. She learns how to box from Vi and enjoys athleticism in general. I actually imagine that once she's older (late teens) she competes in safe and sanctioned fighting matches for trophies haha!!

Vi and Cass go and cheer her on exuberantly. Caitlyn can't make herself go because she can't stomach watching her baby get hit ;-;. She always praises Corinne though if she comes home with the first place trophy.

Cass is a tinkerer like Powder was. She likes building stuff. Caitlyn also tried teaching both of them to shoot and only Cass really took an interest in it. She prefers sidearms/pistols though. Rifles are too big, the kick hurts her shoulder 😭

She tweaks and modifies her own pistols though. 🔫 which is as dangerous as it sounds yes. Cass is probably also a voracious reader. The only thing that can get her to sit down and focus for any period of time. Both Vi and Caitlyn used to read stories to her before bed and now Cass is definitely the type to sneak into whatever room either parent might be occupying to read nearby. Seeking company without conversation.

I don't think either Caitlyn or Vi have any issue with their daughters dating. Or any expectations of who they should date (considering their own story). Corinne is a wlw and happens to have the combined facecard of both her mothers. Many of her peers have crushes, but she's probably a little choosy. Not in a judgemental way, but I can imagine she needs to feel a bit of a connection with someone before pursuing something deeper.

Cass has zero interest in dating. Her face card does not decline either but it would be a Challenge to actually get her attention. Aroace queen.

I think there might be a HINT of suspicion from Caitlyn re: any potential partners even just due to that traumatic shit with Maddie. But I don't think she'd be outright rude or aggressive to any partners they happened to be introduced to!

Just… Keeps a sharp eye out.

My blog is generally pretty lighthearted and I stick to reblogging art and fic and fun stuff, but you know what. I feel like I need to say this.

I am a trans teen in the US. I'm seventeen, so too young to have voted. I'm terrified for my life right now. I usually post about college but I'm actually concurrently enrolled in high school still and the kid who sits behind me in first period government is a massive Trump fanboy. I'm going to have to go to high school Monday and talk about the election. I'm going to have to hear my deadname called and hear people in my super conservative high school talk about how happy they are Trump won. Everything is terrifying. I walk outside of my house and I'm scared I'll be shot. Several months ago I promised that I'd kill myself if that bastard won.

He did and I'm still here.

I'm not thriving. I'm not living my best life. I'm barely living. But I'm surviving. I'm coping. I'm trying my goddamned best. It's hard. I want so bad to just go and take as much medication as I can and slit my wrist for good measure and pass away in my sleep. But I'm still here. And I will be here.

I am in so much pain. But I'm living on spite and determination and everything I can scrape together. I know I need support and those around me need support. So consider this a support masterpost.

Support:

First thing you should see if you're a trans person in the US.

Here's a link to the Trevor Project and here's a link to their suicide hotline page. They've already saved my life once before. Please note - they recommend calling if you need immediate support. Donate if you can, please.

This post is both a suicide hotline masterlist and a post mentioning how something feels deeply wrong here with this election.

On the topic of something being wrong, sign this petition. I'm only seventeen but I did this and it might not feel like much but if we couldn't shoot that bastard (I am not pro-gun but I am when it comes to him) then we'll do the next best thing. Here's the link to the petition itself. Make sure to check the post every once in a while - the original petition got taken down and this is important.

I follow a lot of gimmick blogs, so I got to see this post encouraging us to be loud. Because we should be. Because if we die they've won and my mom didn't smoke weed on the steps of the state capital of Colorado to legalize it just so her son could roll over and die.

Here is the Tumblr Hot Beverage Masterpost, as I've taken to calling it. My personal favorites are the London Fog in the replies, earl grey with milk, honey, and vanilla (in the tags), and some additions from me are hot chocolate with peppermint melted into it, earl grey with lavender, caramel apple tea, and really anything else you can think of. Trust me. This post works better than you think.

Read this post if you haven't seen it already. It's half poem, half Tumblr being Tumblr, all wonderful to read.

Things I just like to see:

PM Seymour and Bettina Levy both have shown their support for everyone struggling right now. It might not be much, but I still really appreciate it and seeing support can really help.

The cat with the kind and reassuring face. No other context.

Four panel comic of hope. Because you're more than enough.

Can't find the post where I found this but this is a link to a virtual toy where you can make your own galaxy.

Please. Eat something. Drink a hot beverage. Draw, write, read, knit, sew, sculpt, bake, do something that helps. Reach out to friends, even if they're online friends. Talk to someone you trust. Make vent art. Write vent fics. It doesn't matter what you do as long as it helps.

Do not roll over and die. Live. Live on spite. Live on determination. Live on shitposts and live on heartfelt stories like this one. If you have anything to add to this post please do. Add more resources. Add more love to this post. I know I'm just a guy on the internet saying shit, but I still care about everyone who sees this post.

Wish???? WHATTTTT

So this is different from my usual content but I randomly wrote this??? Very short snippet last night and did the drawing this morning.

Mostly got to do with the rewrite I wanna do; Asha's childhood would be a lot more relevant, especially her father. Like he was barely mentioned in the movie, and I understand he was dead and all, but dang, barely even a name drop is CRAZY

any uhhhhh have fun reading ig idk

—————

Asha sat on the large tree, its branches knarled and aged as she gazed out at the vast ocean. She looked upwards, the stars twinkling high above her. She remembered when her papa would sit next to her, singing and telling stories about the stars and wishes.

Wishes.

She never really knew what her wish was. Not really. But now that she was 13, and everything had changed so much in only a year...she knew what she wanted it to be.

But she knew it'd never be granted.

Never in the history of Rosas was a wish like it granted. To bring someone back from the dead. Sure, King Magnifico was powerful, but even Asha had her doubts abiut a wish like that.

But even then, she was sure her father wouldn't want that. Certainly not her mama or Saba. No, he'd want her to move on and be happy. He always talked avout how she should have a wish, a dream, and hold onto it tight.

She looked down at her hands. She fiddled with her curls before sighing and leaning back and looking up at the sky again. "Star light, star bright..." She hummed softly. Her eyes scanned the sky before they landed on a star that twinkled a little brighter than the others. "First star I see tonight,"

Asha stood, carefully keeping her balance as she walked along the branches, climbing higher. "I wish I may, I wish I might," she grunted, pulling her self up onto one of the higher branches. "Have this wish I wish tonight."

She stared at the star for a long time. Closing her eyes, she whispered something. Something on shr and the star above could hear. When she opened them, she swore the star shone beighter, just for a flicker of a second. She blinked, her hands gripping the bark and she leaned closer. Her lips parted as she gasped softly. But before she could say or do anything further, she heard bleating from below. She dropped down on the branch, leaning over the edge.

"Valentina! How did you get out if the barn?" Asha wuickly climbed down, her attention from the star distracted—but not forgotten. Once down on the ground, she picked up the goat, nuzzling her surprisingly soft but dense mohair. "Your getting big! Soon I won't be able to pick you up anymore," she laughed. It was true. Valentina's back hooves were nearly touching the ground now.

Valentina let out another bleat, nudging Asha before the girl let her down. "You always know how to find me. Of course, I'm always at the same placed," she said, walking off, with the goat trotting after her after munching at rhe small flowers that dotted the grass. As she walked, she glanced back at the star. It looked normal again. But for some reason, deep down, she knew it wasn't just a figment of her imagination. She could feel it, deep in her heart.

She sighed, walking down the path back to the village and to her house. It was late. Valentina walked beside her, her long, droooy ears flicking absently. Asha suddenly turned to her companion. "You know. One day, I'm gonna be a great wizard like King Magnifico," she bent down, picking up a long stick resembling a staff. She twirled, waving it around. "Just imagine. Me, Asha, weilding magic and making everyone's wish come true!" She laughed, turned to Valentina, who was watching her while lazily chewing on some grass.

With a soft sigh, she continued walked, her homey cottage coming into view. Valentina had already begun walking back to her pen, but Asha lingered outside her door, looking up st the sky one last time. "I swear it. I'll grant everyone's wish."

—————

Asha's young teen design keeps changing 🌚 not by much. Pretty similar to her kid design, idk.

[shokveyv]

Ok i wanna make it very clear this isn't being said out of anger or hate but an small explanation of to why some people might get the wrong impression about the Sari x Sentinel art.

Imagine a family friend having seen a child grow up and had been around them through their childhood. So they have seen them grow up.

But the moment they become 18, they decide "This child i have seen as a baby, a child, a teen, I now want to date them" it comes of very predatory. And creepy.

It is in turn, odd for someone who grew up with an adult in their life. To being attacted to them even when they get older. It makes it seem like there some implications on the child's (now adult) side, that don't make it seem very innocent.

Sentinel is millions of years old. He has seen Sari grow up from a kid, to a teen, and now adult.

While yes they are now both consenting adults, but the implications behind this attraction is what is very suspicious.

I an not saying this was what you beleive in or intended. But your audience, esspcially your western audience might get the impression you do.

I also know English isn't your first language, so I hope this doesn't get lost in translation or come across as aggressive. It's not. I very much adore your work, this is the only time I've been kinda taken off gaurd by your content.

At the very least, I think you should change the way Adults sari outfit looks to make it very clear this isn't her teen self. And people's styles and outfits change when they get older too, so you could have fun coming up with that.

Again, this isn't made out of hate or anger. Just an explanation as to why people might feel so strongly about the art.

Thank you for context explanation to the Western view. I think I understand? It struggles though . Sentinel has never been family friend. He is enemy to human, sees Sari as infestation canon.

Canonical, Sentinel Prime few interact with Sari. Doesn't know the name! He never see alt mode [unless I misremember]. In story, not see Sari in ten or more years. On Cybertron ten year later. Sees Sari of her alt mode [it is a robot!] and he wonder who she is. He was not interest in her as organic [not as child, not as teen], canonical. Canon, he hate organic! Why be interest in her? Story, he works to get acclimatize to this organic form when! he learns she is not a robot only. The text you say is implying he has seen her grown. Canon, he did not care about her and did not acknowledge her more than a contamination [he is bad as Megatron MTMTE, wanting death of organic]. He doesn't recognize her when she reveals organic at first [it is how little he has ever seen for the Sari].

Canonically, she still a stranger to him.

Thank you for explaining the hesitation. It seem, there are many people don't understand in Japan, it is common for 10+ year ago, one child and adult meet, but in when child is to become adult, they may cross red string of fate and meet again! It is exposing xenophobia I did not expect. It is okay to misunderstand. It is not okay to insult my culture because one finds it icky.

Distressing, people say I should change her cloth. I not change cloth wardrobe from high school. I feel, I am being shamed. It is humiliating. There is something wrong with me for not changing my clothes... It was going to have her wear different cloth in comic, Sari is fashionista! ^^\ I was so excited to see the wear different dress and makeup cool! The drawing is cover of the full comic

I write about: "In my story, he not know of her robot form. Years later, he sees her on Cybertron in robot form. Wonders, "Who is she?" stalks her for many year until he finally gets the chance to ask more. She doesn't like him because he organic fears [he doesn't know robot-Sari is organic]. She ride with Drift for long time but as she grow, she finds divisive [Drift is become unstable], so strays alone. This is on top of fighting against the Megatron release from Trypticon. Sentinel losing Magnus status humbles him, Predacons become a major threat, Optimus Magnus, Sari starts to understand Sentinel is not as big mean as before. He grows as character. She begrudgingly accepts it

Sari not written to fall for Sentinel. Only recent in writing this story did I see to involve Sentinel [he had recent fall away from Magnus status, Optimus picks it up]. Is ten years of plot before she meets Sentinel as robot version on Cybertron. It distresses to see people calling me pedophile. I work on total story for 9 month.

But, people are not okay to read,s not okay to write character grows, mature, having adventures on the way. I regret writing this story, knows now people don't want to read stories of character beyond canon. The context is too burden on the psyche. I have learned my lesson. I will not write outside of canon again. I am a disappointment.

Sincerely for the explanation, is thanking you. Maybe it is better to keep Japan only release, then. It will be understood there. ? [I pay to have last comic translation to English, I did not want the xenophobia me of the past. I want to be better! but it is not going to be happy for English. I truly this doesn't portray as me hating English speaks].

last year i was bored and decided to make some moxxie and millie fan kids ! they were just supposed to be silly haha fun characters but then i started writing a whole story and adding a bunch of side characters and it got out of hand… but i wont go into it rn bc it definitely needs to be reworked and more completed before i can talk about it haha

but i can tell yall a little about them below the cut if you wanna read it! i will def be drawing more of them soon i love them sm. i will also try to design older versions of the canon main characters too as well as posting about more ocs from the twin’s story

EDIT: i made this entire post before sinsmas but im posting it anyways. obviously there won’t be much of a point to these characters after millie has her kid (if she has it) LOL so not sure how much more ill draw them now but i still love them and wanted to post them anyway

maverick

- maverick aka mav, is the son of moxxie and millie and the twin brother of melody. he is sixteen years old. he lives in the pride ring with his family.

- mav presents himself as a troubled brooding teen, going through a phase where he feels disconnected from his family and is struggling to figure out where he belongs in society and what he wants from his life

- on the outside, mav is a snarky and overly confident teenage boy who likes fighting and playing the guitar. he hesitates to let people in and often defends his feelings with a sharp and often cruel sense of humor, although a lot of the time he doesn’t mean the words that he says

- despite his stereotyoical demeanor, maverick is actually incredibly sharp minded and curious, constantly questioning the world around him and why things are the way that they are. he overthinks things a lot and ends up feeling incredibly troubled. however, because of his cynical outlook on life he believes no one can help him, and doesn’t bother asking the people he loves for help

- maverick has always been skilled in weaponry and combat, something that’s in his genes but was only taught to him for a few years as a child, however his parents attempted to steer his attention away from this interest, as their overprotective nature took over, not wanting their son to feel like he has to become a killer too

- maverick feels as though there’s nothing that makes him special and often feels overlooked when compared to his extremely talented and more extroverted sister. he is pretty athletic but doesn’t have the same ferocity as his mother or sharpshooting techniques of his father. he was taught to play guitar and enjoys making music but definitely is no where near as passionate or talented as his sister

melody

- melody is the daughter of moxxie and millie and the twin sister of maverick. she is sixteen years old. she lives in the pride ring with her family.

- melody takes on a lot of traits from her father. she has a huge interest in musical theater, and wishes to become a famous actress and singer one day

- due to this aspect of her personality, she is rather extroverted and peppy, very talkative and slightly hyperactive like her mother. she has a desperate need for attention and validation, which can make her come across as a bit annoying or intense to those who aren’t used to her

- despite her parent’s jobs as assassins, melody tries to avoid violence at all costs. she finds it disturbing and has no interest in fighting or killing. however, she has violent instincts in her, and when people she loves are threatened she can become suprisingly outraged and violent despite hating her outbursts

- melody has a very feminine dress style and takes great care in her appearance. she thinks of her life as one grand performance and panics if she’s not seen at her idea of “perfect”. this wasn’t something that bothered her as a kid, but as she gets older she’s becoming increasingly aware of her position in society, as a female imp, and just how hard she’ll have to work to make herself “perfect” in order to find even an ounce of success

hii cld u do hcs for cg alejandro, noah, sierra and duncan w little reader?/nf

gotchaaaa 🫡 these r unorganized and random/unspecific but in the future i’ll set a template :> enjoy for now

i headcanon most of these characters as flips funny enough (cough cough team chris au cough)

alejandro

- protective father type cg

- id say he’d handle littles of any ages but i feel he’d suit younger regressors well (baby-kid headspaces)

- probably didn’t understand regression and thought it was weird at first but he warmed up to it over time and eventually agreed to becoming a cg

- he’s NOT letting you stay up past bedtime

- would put you in the shopping cart at the grocery store

- always has the radio on in the car (he lets you choose the station)

- he’d know how to cook. you would eat very well (he Will make sure you eat your vegetables)

- would carry you around all the time and would probably rock you to sleep while he’s at it

duncan

- lenient fun uncle type cg who would teach you how to shoplift

- mostly handles older kid/teen regressors (i wouldn’t trust him with a baby im sorry)

- probably had never heard of agere before he’d been told about it. claimed to not care. (he really does)

- will never admit but his personality switches up so quickly when around a little that he can’t deny anything either

- “i’m NOT SOFT” (cuts to him tucking you into bed with a stuffed animal and kissing you goodnight)

- he does have a few rules, but that’s because he’s experienced the consequences for not having any (sugar right before bed was never a good idea)

noah

- i don’t have a specific type of cg for him )-:

- mostly handles toddler to teen regressors.

- knew about regression for quite a while before he was asked. he’d never been a cg before, but no harm in trying (it has been great)

- he’d play video games with older regressors. whether he lets you win or not depends on how nice he’s feeling that day.

- defo a bedtime story reader. chooses the really long ones on purpose to make sure you fall asleep

- to contrast alejandro’s cooking, he’d probably be into baking instead. he will NOT let you eat the batter (he’s a hypocrite and he’ll have a taste when you’re not looking)

- always has a first aid kit on him at all times knowing how often rowdier regressors get injured

sierra

- older sister/fun babysitter type who gives tons of hugs and advice (that advice being useful or not)

- mostly handles toddler and kid regressors, can handle teens occasionally. i think she would be a bit too loud for some babies

- would replace swears with random nonsense words because “THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!”

- she seems like the type to draw and color with you (even if you color out of the lines)

- if you’re a younger little she wouldn’t let you handle scissors. she’s cutting those little pink hearts out for you.

- great at playing pretend too. she makes the craziest dramas with legos. plot and all

(random as hell but would sierra watch total dramarama or is she like. personally above that as a td superfan. just a thought)

[freakwiththeknifecollection]

Will you share your chestervelle parenting thoughts/headcanons? 😃 I just love them as parents so much

This got long but even if you don't care for Dean/Jo I encourage you to give it a read!! I worked hard on it and it's got good Jo lore and character analysis!!! 🫶

OOOOOH great question thank you!! Me too!! Their parenting styles are soooo fascinating to me because their upbringings were vastly different so they have different views on things

Jo is such a cool mom!!! Imagine the older sister that lets you do stuff you're not supposed to do and introduces you to indie music and lets you watch PG-13 or scary movies and lets you look at her knife collection and even shows you how to do a sick knife trick (don't tell dad though). That's the vibe of Jo as a mom and we love to see it!!!

Dean is the goofiest dorkiest most fun dad ever and we love to see it!! He builds forts, he gives book characters funny voices, he makes everything into a game, he watches cartoons with them, and makes pancakes with gummy bears in them. He brings so much sunshine into their childhoods 😭😭😭 I'm so emotional about it. And when they're getting into their teen years he's embarrassing on purpose (it's the older brother in him lol) and also sometimes not on purpose, cause he's just a big dork.

Jo has a much easier time with the "cry it out" phase as babies than Dean does. He's a mother hen, it's hard for him not to nurture 😭 In a similar vein, Dean lets their kids sleep in their bed some nights longer than Jo thinks they should cause he's suchhh a softie. He can't help it. At a certain point, Jo has to be the one to put her foot down about it lol

We've seen it in canon but it's so important to me so I'm mentioning it anyway, Dean is so so gentle with kids 😭😭😭

An important quality Dean and Jo share as parents is they really listen to their kids. They don't do the whole "because I said so" thing, they don't don't talk down to them, they talk things out and respect and validate their emotions, autonomy, and boundaries.

Dean has never thrown away a drawing or handmade thing they've ever made. There's drawings on the fridge, a handmade leaky mug turned pencil cup on his nightstand, clay handprints, popsicle stick ornaments on the tree, etc etc etc. The most sentimental dad ever

Jo is not a fan whatsoever of playing princess (or super girly girl stuff in general) but Dean takes his princess/mermaid pretend playtime and tea party duties incredibly seriously. He gets very into character he is literally Andy Dwyer

In general Dean loves dressing up and Committing to the Bit. We know this and it's one of his strongsuits as a dad for sure and the kids love it so much

Not to get sad but I think Jo's dad would play pretend with her and she would beg him to play when he got home and they had so much fun together 😭 but anyways 🥲

Board games!!! Omg Dean and Jo are so competitive I can only imagine their kids would be too and family board game nights would be intense and sometimes it ends in fights and Dean and Jo start to think that maybe they should set a better example and not be so competitive with each other because it is just a game after all... but also they can't help themselves 😂 they're not perfect lol

In general though, I don't think they ever fight in front of their kids. They definitely bicker and tease each other but that's just their dynamic lol.

The supernatural books are definitely a thing and I think the kids would inevitably find them. Dean's excuse would be that he used to be buddies with the author and he used his and uncle Sam's likeness and they're totally 100% fictional. Who wants ice cream (immediate change of subject)

Dean obviously has a good amount of scars, some strange looking ones, that his kids would definitely have questions about and he makes up fantastical stories about each one. But he can't always remember every detail he tells them and forgets what he said last time all together, and the kids are suspicious lol

Now for the lore and analysis side of things...

I think with her dad on the road a lot and Ellen being busy running the roadhouse and answering calls from hunters, Jo was left to her own devices for the majority of her childhood. She was very much a free-range kid lol. But she was never alone, she always had Smokey (her childhood dog, which I talk about in this post) and when she was younger, he kept her from wandering too far off and would herd her back towards the roadhouse. But... I think that definitely changed after Bill was killed. Ellen became much more protective of Jo, and I think we all know how she felt about that. So I think Jo would be much more open to the idea of their kids just doing their own thing without constant supervision, whereas Dean would be veryyyy nervous about that because he's incredibly protective, it's been hardwired into him. So that's a common battle between them, trying to find a good balance for their kids safety and autonomy. Though they grew up in very different environments, they both felt like they weren't given the freedom of choices. So that's something they can agree is important to give their kids.

We're all very aware of how Dean's childhood (I use that term loosely) was so I'm not gonna sit here and explain it lol. So understandably as a dad he would definitely really struggle when it comes to discipline. Jo would have to be the bad guy.

Unrelated but I strongly believe Jo becoming a mom would actually be very healing for her and Ellen's relationship. It would provide them with not just a common ground, but a new common ground to bond over which helps them to let go of their history. Also, it would give Jo perspective on what being a mom is really like and give her a better understanding of her mom and her childhood. That being said it would definitely also bring its own set of problems, because I'm sure Ellen (though she means well) would have her opinions and advice on parenting that Jo would not agree with lol. But generally speaking, I think it would do them some real good.

Similarly, I think becoming a dad would force Dean to confront some things emotionally about his own father and his childhood and come to terms with the fact that "yeah that was actually really fucked up" in a very visceral way. I mean, think about Dean watching his innocent little kid playing in the yard and he thinks how he can't imagine ever handing that child a loaded gun and teaching them to kill. I don't think that would be healing for him to experience I just think that would be the reality.

Also, this doesn't need to be explained, but Dean for sure suffers from PTSD and it's really hard adjusting to civilian life as a parent. He learns to cope in more healthy ways than he used to, but it's a very real struggle.

I also think Dean would be mostly sober once he's a dad. Only drinking on celebratory occasions or when he just needs to forget the nightmares and settle his nerves so he can get back to sleep.
