he could not control the class 😔
#tossing my hat into the trend ring#a little sumn in between pieces#got possessed by the silly for a moment#we love an unhealthy codependent sibling relationship#join me on my delusion of every behavior or habit Ludwig has has been ingrained and propagated into him at early childhood by Gilbert#I imagine Ludwig going thru one of his many social interaction debacles and thinking ‘quick Ludwig - what would brother do?!’#and Gil shows up in his head like the laissez faire voice of authority like#burn their fields and salt their crops 👍 [fades away]#do you understand me?#kinda like when mob thinks of Reigen during social anxieties but he comes up with the most useless advice in his head#Gil’s little puppy <3#hetalia#hetalia fanart#hws germany#hws prussia#aph germany#aph prussia#german bros#digital art#my art#drawing meme#Ludwig waiting for his daily chin scratch for being an agreeable young lad 🥺#on second thought maybe I should’ve done this in more historical clothing#like young Lud being put in charge of his first meeting as like training and doing horribly 😭#general Gil is not satisfied with his performance#do you guys think Gil is a boy mom#discuss

IM SURE YOUVE ALREADY EXPLAINED IT SOMEWHERE but.. may i ask about the story in bitter choco decoration. I like those guys :)
you’d be surprised but i apparently have never talked about these particular ocs’ story in detail on this particular tumblr blog. so i shall do just that…. i tried to summarize but it got kind of long oops, as it always does when i talk about my mentally ill ass ocs
so! as u might already know the guys in the video are rikki and william, and the animatic happens from rikki’s pov. rikki is basically the golden child of the family—smart, well-behaved, always keeping her parents satisfied, etc etc. generally she is put under a lot of pressure a lot of the time. and then her family decides to get an insurance child so to speak—just in case rikki fails in life—but they don’t want to go through the trouble of raising another one, so they decide to adopt.
that’s where william comes in, baby! now he is decidedly Not the golden child. he is the problem child. parents thought they could reform him—well, not much to show for that. but him and rikki surprisingly get along, even though they’re opposites. william actually gets someone who cares about him for once and wants him to be okay, and rikki gets someone who wants her to be more bold, stand up to others and consider what she herself wants instead of people-pleasing. he even gets her to make snide jokes and cut her hair. they’re best friends, it’s nice. for a while.
but, none of it is perfect. you know how rikki always seems to be smiling even though she’s clearly not having a good time? and you know all those red eyes that appear pretty much everytime william’s on screen? rikki has so many layers of masks that william never really feels like he actually knows her. and william, even though he mostly wants rikki to do her own thing, can still kind of be selfish and controlling (because he’s a teenager, and traumatized, and scared of losing his best friend, but it doesn’t change the fact that rikki feels the same pressure from him as she feels from their parents).
so this all culminates when they’re in high school and rikki buries herself in work—she wants to secure a good education and a good job so that she can actually get them both out of this shitty abusive household. for the first time in her whole life, she has a Goal that she personally has chosen. she now has someone to work hard for. but she also ends up spending a lot less time with that someone because of her studying, and it eats at william and eats and eats until—it turns out rikki’s hard work has actually paid off. she’s gotten a scholarship, and she can leave for a good university and she’s finally achieved something that she herself has wanted to do and not anyone else. for both of them. for her brother.
except her brother doesn’t react with support, like usual. he’s not cheering her on now that she’s fulfilled her dream and beyond. he just looks betrayed. because they’re best friends. they promised to be there for each other, to get out of this hellhole house together. how could she leave him behind? how is he supposed to make it without her, who is he going to have on his side? william loves her and wants her to be happy but he doesn’t want her to leave.
so in turn—because rikki is a) an avoidant little bitch who would rather masterfully evade conflict than try to have an opinion and b) doesn’t want her brother to hate her forever and not speak to her ever again—in turn, rikki, as always, as second nature, lies. i mean, it’s her dream, it’s something she’s been working towards for years, but she’ll stay. she’ll leave it behind. it makes perfect logical sense to her—best of both worlds: she doesn’t spend the last summer at home with her brother resenting her, and she still gets to actually go to university. it is basically flawless.
all up until, you know, the day comes where she actually has to move out and go to university. and william inevitably finds out that she lied to him. and they fight. it’s not good. it’s not happy. they end up separating on really bad terms, and not talking for the next 7 years because william runs away from home pretty much soon after rikki leaves (it’s not shown in the animatic but he does go MIA, rikki visits home once on holiday to find that her brother is just Gone, no one knows where he is, her parents couldnt give less of a shit, not great all around!!!) then rikki ends up graduating and looking for an easy first job, just to kind of set her foot in Job World.
unfortunately, it is also the exact same easy, convenient job that her brother ends up picking. hoo, boy. long time no see.
#suffice to say. their current relationship. is. Um. strained to put it lightly#it does not spark joy#they both think the other didn’t care about them and abandoned them#even better than that rikki sort-of-tried-not-to-think-about-it-but-still-sort-of-thought that her brother might’ve been dead for years#so. that’s also fun#they have a really fun relationship and it makes them amazing coworkers#and their other coworkers do not feel like they are children of divorce witnessing another silent fight#when they have to deal with rikki and william#cramswering#amd yes the eyes in the animatic are a symbol of pressure. white ones are just general pressure + from rikki’s family#and the red ones are pressure from william in specific. u can see as the animatic goes on that the red eyes appear more and more#and yes as you can see i hve done it again and created fucked up siblings in the petri dish of my mind. but they came first before the#mentally ill robot siblings. and yes they were very much inspired by the stan twins. the first iteration for will’s and rikki’s backstory#was almost like a gravity falls rewrite. except they were just best friends. Then 2 years ago i was enlightened by holy visions and ever#since then they’ve become the world’s most insane codependent siblings to exist#but do not fret for one day they might talk it out maybe. and by that i mean fight it out and make everything even more awkward#you know how it is

give me your thoughts on the callanders pls
OUGFHHH I WILL !!!
soon (monday lol) the designs i made will be posted with some hcs so im sorry if i repeat some 😭😭
i think they both have naturally VERY LOUD VOICES like Karen constantly tells them to quiet down and they're like " HUH?? IM NOT YELLING--oh. nvm. " - this cuz of the thing Karen says of missing telling the boys to shut up. they yap a lot and they yap LOUDLY when they're home - Davey fights it more i think. like if he's feeling like being annoying he'll talk louder just because fuck you. (it makes Mac laugh too) - Mac's laugh is also just VERY LOUD while Davey wheezes and starts tearing up
they're a bad influence on Sean(?) like Sean is a bit mischievous by himself but together they're a NIGHTMARE because Mac and Davey will literally do whatever the fuck and Sean is like 'i wanna go too!!' - they're not allowed to go on missions alone because Shit Will Happen and they frustrate the hell out of Arthur. - one time Arthur almost had a nervous breakdown trying to get them back home. He'd be dragging one to the horses, be like 'alright, stay here', he leaves to get another, comes back...and whoever was there Is No Longer There (at some point Mac got sober enough he helped with Davey) (Davey said in a very sad drunk voice 'you betrayed me' and Mac's heart broke)
i hc Mac was a little shorter than Arthur Davey is a little shorter than Mac and a lil thinner too (you'll see that tho)
they brawl. give them 5 bucks and they will beat each other up just for funsies (and the money) - they used to defend it by saying they're just practicing - it almost worked. - folk aren't allowed to egg them on anymore. (looking at you, Jenny)
they understand each other in an almost mystical way no one else understands. they'll be in complete opposite sides on a mission and SOMEHOW know what the other is gonna do and how to help - usually they go together, though. you'd never see one without the other.
Davey doesn't remember much of Scotland so when he can't sleep he'll ask Mac to tell him stories of the place and their parents - Davey DOES remember the railway and secretly really likes trains
Davey actually hates cheating (unless Mac is playing, but he only cheats with Mac to fuck with him) - Mac tells him he's cheating when they play poker if he's losing and Davey gives him a silent glare every time
Mac literally keeps literally everything Davey gives him. He once lost a nice rock and was THIS 🤏 CLOSE to start wrecking shit if he didn't find it - it was in the back pocket of a pair of pants he forgot he used the day before - Davey cried laughing at him and Mac got really embarrassed
they argue a lot (like brothers do), but they always end up forgiving each other and patting each other on the back - (really hard, for the record. don't get a pat in the back from them, they'll split your spine in two)
Davey gets really jealous and Mac teases him about it. Like, if Mac happens to spend 'too much time' with Bill or someone else (more than 10 minutes HJKASGJASG), Davey will go over and give a NASTY glare while tapping his foot on the floor with arms crossed. - Mac pretends not to notice at first but usually relents
actually, in general they're a bit too codependent (more Davey than Mac, but they both are) - when they got separated in blackwater they both panicked REALLY BADLY and Davey had to be dragged away because even as he was bleeding out he was kicking and screaming that he couldn't bear the thought that something was happening to Mac and he couldn't help - while Mac was getting tortured by the Pinkertons he asked if Davey was okay and his last few words were him apologizing to Davey for fucking up - Davey's last words were also him apologizing to Mac for being so stupid. the whole ride to Colter he blamed himself for being too reckless and getting them split up
on a happier note i think Davey's love language is words of affection - but they're very passive-aggresive
Mac's love language is gift giving - but he won't tell it was him
#idk if i'm making sense ashkjasgjkhasg i hope i did#i love them a lot!! i love sibling relationships#my favorite toxic codependant dragging each other down boys <3#ROCKSTAR PLEASE GIVE ME MORE INFO ON THEM IM SO SERIOUS#ILL PAY#ILL CRY#IDK WHATEVER YOU WANT#you don't have to agree with these btw!! just my thoughts teehee#rdr2#mac callander#davey callander#arthur morgan#rdr2 headcanons

yeah i’m thinking about parallels in my own book. yeah it’s gonna be all day sorry.
#the pallas and agnes judge/calliope and fiver and mercedes parallels in my minds eye#are truly truly TRULY something#me when something i did on purpose in the story happens in the story:#this post brought to you by pallas getting WAY TOO overinvested in judge and calliope’s relationship in the book two outline#(<- they are projecting sososo hard)#pallas micromanaging someone else’s codependent mess to cope with Everything That Happens in the lmd finale they’re literally so funny#ALSO brought to you by agnes latching onto fiver and mercedes as a unit for much the same reasons#they’re both coping normally with being separated :)) they’re both fine :)))))))#messy codependent romance vs messy codependent sibling relationship vs pallas and agnes (pallas and agnes)#wip: ghost story

Sliding you all the "Madara's desire to protect and look out for Izuna is genuine and he loves him so much it hurts BUT it's also in large part selfish: it's a combination of him trying to overcompensate for his own guilt for letting his other siblings die and being unable to see himself as anything less than the strongest/only reliable person in the room. To Izuna, who catches up to him pretty well in ability and insists to be seen as an equal, this is incredibly frustrating, and a constant point of tension in their relationship" dynamic so that I can share it with at least one or two people
#send post#Also funnily enough as much as I try I can't really ''toxic codependent'' their relationship at all. I just want them to be normal siblings#I already have my fill of Uchiha Bros relationships that would give an army of therapists the battle of their lives thanks#Anyways if you share this interpretion hmu

what if i had a personal homestuck reawakening part idk 20 but this time im solely focused on preaching the canonocity of calliope/caliborn
#cherub mating resembles kissmesisitude more than any other form of romance + they only know the concept of siblings from the humans#+ this doesnt even have to be a ship angle. they genuinely just can easily be read as an abusive codependent incestous relationship#cherub romance being toxic by even troll standards is also funny to me

is there a reason you don't ship them besides them being brothers? because if you'd ship them if they weren't brothers, i've got some bad news for ya
i hate sam
#what's insane about THIS is that it feels like you were about to try to explain to me i do ship them#which is. what#anti wincest#anti sam winchester#i guess#i think we have a reading comprehension problem.#i am Fully aware they're insane and codependent. you have to be if you watch the show#i just. don't ship them. or like sam. is everyone on the same page now#and to be clear. i don't care if you do. that ain't got shit to do with me#that post was about wincest folk claiming people said they're a normal sibling relationship#i promise you bitches are NOT saying that

miss him (fictional bisexual emo from a 2015 webnovel)
#u don't know how much he means to me. He is for real just like me#i mean they both are I have never felt so recognized as I did during like. every scene featuring bernd#i was like oh wow I'm not the only one with a shitty stepdad that's unable to express emotions and is always picking a fight#and is like a ticking time bomb to be around. what the heck?!#but I also find sven and svenjas relationship so adorable and reaaal as fuck they're like me and my brother...#bullying each other but still can't live without the other#codependent traumatized siblings representation!!!!!!!!#sven is the only reason im still bisexual (and because girls are beautiful and I'd love to be someones cringefail loser boyfriend)

Last Line Challenge!
Rules: In a new post, show your latest line (artwork or written) and tag as many people as there are words (or as many as you like!)
I got tagged by @sithfox 💕💕
I think this one might actually be a sin (in that it’s spn) and idk that it will ever be posted but I’ve been thinking thoughts about parentified Dean Winchester and what if nothing past the pilot happened actually. Jess doesn’t die. Because it’s a noodle project I’ll give a little extra.
“Aren’t you going to invite your brother in to stay the night?” Jess asks. She’s crossed her arms, leaning against the doorway and the look she shoots between him and Dean is full of intense meaning.
Sam’s never snapped at Jess before, he refuses to let anger guide him like the rest of his family, but boy does he want to now. Only self control and way more therapy than anyone should have to have holds his tongue. Instead he turns to wish Dean a good life and finds that those words won’t come for an entirely different reason.
Dean hasn’t really done emotions that don’t involve lechery, anger, or hunting since Sam was around ten but for a heartbeat after Jess speaks, Dean’s grin is wide enough to twitch his ears. It fades into an outward breath of hope and then shame crumples inward to finally be replaced with overblown machismo. “Nah. Sammy doesn’t want his big brother embarrassing his bitch ass.”
The way it’s said implies that Dean will be telling embarrassing stories and teasing him about his girlfriend. It’s not the truth. Dean’s fear of embarrassing Sam with his existence is something Sam’s pretended not to know about for just about forever. It’s an unspoken truth that suffocates them both but Sam isn’t so selfish that he’ll leave Dean to suffer it alone. Not if Dad really is gone.
Not anymore.
Instead he puts on his most annoyed sigh and changes his trajectory to snatch up Dean’s Go Bag from the back seat. “She’ll make me sleep on the couch if I don’t convince you to stay.”
Tagging @hastalavistabyebye @sithfox (keep this in your back pocket for when you gotta zinger you wanna drop ;)) @whiskygoldwings
#supernatural#dean winchester#sam winchester#jessica moore#I don’t like cas sorry guys#I’ve also never watched past like mid season four irrc#I’m not sure I ever will 😂#y’all know me I like a fucked up codependent sibling relationship#they introduced castiel and I just don’t care about the dynamic anymore

ithink i have a different idea of what found family means than most people because in my mind outside of nurturing mother/father figures like the elderly neighbor who teaches you the ways of the world it mainly falls into something along the lines of either "would do a blood pact to vow your mutual devotion to this person as a friend" or "bound together by some insane shared traumatic experience that renders it so no one can truly understand you on the same level them" and does not inherently entail actually viewing someone as family. Like I'm going into this with the most archaic definition of "brotherhood"(gender neutral) possible. i wouldn't be able to enjoy it if it were not even a little concerning
#cicada's thoughts#my relationship with my actual siblings is distant at best so for me it's like#the concept of kinship and sibling bond is entirely understood through blood vow mentality to me#that and in some cases a general sense of trying to replace a sense of love and protection you were denied by your actual family#as is usually the case in real life. but thats not as interesting to me in fiction unless it leads into codependency or something
