"Stillborn? No, still born" Danyal au -- VLAD MASTERS THE BITCH HIMSELF

*Points at Vlad* THIS MFER GOT SOME TEEFS TO HIM. !! Okay okay, Vlad Masters in the stillborn au is different compared to most of my other aus in the fact that I am far more heavily leaning into his original ambitions of wanting a family and being desperately lonely. Because you know what wanting a family implies? Wanting to be a parent.

Fucked up father figure that could've been Vlad. Complicated love-hate relationship between the only two halfas in existence.

Danny hates Vlad, but he hates even more that he's genuinely considered his offers of mentorship. Vlad is the only halfa around, and they both have fire cores. Danny has these powers he doesn't understand, can barely comprehend some days, and can't control. But Vlad does. Vlad can. And Vlad wants to help him. He's the only other person who can get close whenever Danny runs too hot. Whenever his igneous hair cracks, splits, and spits back out into magma and his friends can't get close, Vlad can.

His hair is made of magma, which runs so hot that people need specialized suits in order to get near it. He physically cannot get close to the living as a ghost unless he's calm enough for his hair to cool into igneous rock. Which isn't as often as he would like. And sometimes he's too hot for other ghosts to get near unless they have fire cores -- which Vlad has.

There have been many times when Danny's having a meltdown (literally) and gone somewhere to be alone, to let his anger and hurt and loneliness overflow and spill out, that when he's come back to, Vlad's right there with him as an anchor. It's desperately frustrating, it's the only time they can get along. They don't say anything, Danny just turns and clings onto the only person he can touch as a ghost.

Its not fair. Vlad wants to kill his foster dad, and Danny can't let him do that. But he wants to be trained by the man, he wants his help and wants what he can offer. But Vlad can't step away from his revenge long enough to let him. It's just not fair. He thinks for a moment that maybe it could work, and then Vlad does something to remind him that no, it can't.

Vlad Masters sees too much of himself in Daniel Brown -- from the way he holds himself, to the defenses he puts up, his quiet anger that builds and builds and builds until it explodes. That simmers beneath his skin. All the way down to the fact that they have matching cores. This boy is cut from the same cloth as him, and by god does he want to help him. He's always wanted to be a father, and Daniel Brown is too much like him for him to ignore. He genuinely, truly cares about Danny and his wellbeing.

He wants to help him, child just let him help you. Let him kill your foster dad so he can adopt you himself and help with these powers that terrify and intrigue you -- he knows what that's like to have something that you can't control, to have a heat that you can't cool down from. "We're in the same boat you and I, let him help you please."

But his methods are all wrong, and Danny is too much like him -- stubbornness and all -- for him to agree when they oppose each other so greatly. But again, Danny is much like him -- which means that Vlad is equally stubborn, and in every single one of their fights he's parental. He's annoyingly parental. He drops his interest in Maddie to focus his efforts in trying to coax Danny onto his side. It's like trying to get a traumatized cat to trust you, and on some levels it works. It's like he makes some progress, and then moves too quickly and the cat immediately runs off and you have to start back from square one.

TL:DR; Vlad and Danny both want to find family in each other but they're too different to get along and ultimately they are doomed by the narrative to be at constant odds with one another unless one of them is changes, and it doesn't matter who.

idk i just think it’s a little weird that almost every character who gets the “innocent baby” / “little ray of sunshine” treatment usually ends up just having neurodivergent traits and actual negative traits in the show that nobody pays attention to. like idk man it just feels like diet infantilization to me and it’s a teeny weeny bit uncomfortable to see all the time

Honest reaction to the Minecraft movie trailer:

[doctorwhoisadhd]

there are many ways nardole interacting with the torchwood team could potentially go but i think in every timeline owen would be so mad about who in the team nardole has sex with. including in any situation where nardole has Only fucked owen he would still find a way to be mad about it

hello!!! T, you've been given the task of assigning three devils players to play on your baseball team. who are you choosing and what positions are you putting them in? -💐

FUN!

Okay, its gonna be for my Metsies.

Jesper Bratt - Shortstop - I just feel like Bratter has the verstatility and stealth and quickness needed to be a shortstop you know? Need to be agile and speedy, all things that describe my boy Bratter. Shortstops are also like now placed near the top of the lineup because they're like guaranteed to get on base and Bratter definitely has the consistency of offense there.

Jack Hughes - Catcher - hardy har har, get your jokes in now. Jacky Boy would be a great catcher because the catcher basically calls the shots. He picks what pitches the pitcher throws. Its an incredibly strategic position and Jack is so fucking smart, I think he'd be amazing as a catcher. Plus, catchers need to be able to make quick decisions on when to try to throw out a player and when to not and you need a wicked good arm, and I feel like Jack's shot kind of translates to that skill.

Luke Hughes - First Baseman - so the first baseman is usually TALL and I feel like Luke has that covered. He needs to be able to stretch and he kind of plays defensively a lot because he's around the base whenever there's someone on base trying to catch the runner stealing, etc. A good first basemen is almost always part of a double play because youre trying to get the runner out and the runner has to go to first base first right so like think about how Luke had so many assists last season.

in the bad things happen to jack au, getting jack so drunk that he’s knocked out does work because he wants to do what dean says so badly that he keeps going and going until he should be dead from alcohol poisoning but instead he’s saved by being half an angel and passes out instead.

Short Striped Hoodie

These are all you get for screenshots as I'm working on rebuilding my mods and saves folders, including screenshots, and I made this hoodie for this specific look for Jack, so. Zombie look. The blood isn't included, it's just a hoodie tshirt thing. It's from this music video.

Making the most out of what I have. Base was from Seasons so you need that pack. You probably should anyway. I don't make things without a specific purpose for me.

Finals are nigh I am thinking about the Solomon a Gaenor fic again time is a circle

the fox-and-ponds-adoption slice of the soft wars family not-tree

(it expands approximately outwards, because clone generations make for an absurdly wide tree if you map it normally. blue names are are soft wars eu, red hearts are canon relationships, and purple hearts are eu relationships. circles are squads and grey lines are adoptions.)

I would love to know why your brain went to Van Gogh? Because the one thought I HAD is not the best

Honestly, whenever the word "ear" comes up my mind tends to stray to Van Gogh. Then, whenever the word "ear" along with anything Doctor Who related comes up, my mind inevitably goes to Van Gogh (because of that one episode).

Also, the Torchwood team is simultaneously cultured and dumb enough to argue about which ear Van Gogh lost and whether it was the whole ear or not (there is still a debate about that fact in the art community). THEN, (I read the rest of your post 😅) Jack would appear and argue about the queerness of earrings out of the blue because he heard the word 'ear' and nothing else of the conversation.

there's only one end-of-the-day debrief :'( ?!?

[trickstercaptain]

it's interesting when people ( i.e. the fandom ) try to make something out of the "parlay, parsnip, partner" scene in cotbp with jack and pintel and ragetti, specifically jack's confusion, because it's like.... simple explanation, he got hit by an oar ( thanks will ) in the previous scene and probably has a concussion lmao

[jacksintention]

I say I ship Jack and Lacie, but tbh I don't think I do in the sense fandom understands it. For me it's kind of like saying I ship Heathc.liff and Cathy or Fe.rmín and Ana. Do I ship them? Yes? No? The answer is closer to "I like W.uthering Heigh.ts and La R.egenta"

[hannibalismos-jaaneman]

is it just the cogs of my brain whirring wildly or was bedelia kinda sorta in love with hannibal too?
