Love you all to Jupiter and back. Take care. 💖

It’s a slow day. Every day is slow out in Tumble Down. The township’s name tells the whole story. Everything there is in decline. It’s hard to imagine there was ever a time when the people weren’t tiny and forgotten in the hubbub of the bigger world. Since the mines closed and the canning factory was outsourced, it feels even smaller. 

Smaller isn’t so bad. It’s simpler. You all know each other’s names and faces. You say hi and how are you and do what needs to be done. Simple is, simple as. 

You here there isn’t much to do in most small towns. Not for fun or for work. You’re one of the lucky ones. You got a job down at the diner in your sophomore year. It helped pay for your daddy’s new engine and since then, it keeps you all afloat in the rising waters of disparity as they close in on Tumble Down. 

You hum to the old radio that sits on the shelf you make sure to dust. The speakers crackle from time to time and the signal gets wonky in storm season, but the music’s never bad. It’s the classic stuff that always played in your mother’s kitchen. 

You wipe down another table. Not because it needs it, just because it’s something to do. The day has been long and listless. Even the breakfast rush was lower than usual. 

Darnell, the cook, whistles along from the back. Everyone knows he isn’t as mean as he looks. He just likes his space. 

As you go back to the counter and lean on it, staring at the ticking clock, a roar cuts through the distance. You blink and look up, narrowing your eyes at the dusty country road outside. Wind rustles through the tall wheat in the field opposite and the noise rumbles closer and closer. 

A man pulls in a motorbike. He’s going so fast that he has to circle the gravel lot before he can slow down. It’s not Lenny and his prized Harley but another man on a more modern-looking mount. Not far behind, another motorcycle zips through and the riders straddle their bikes as the survey the restaurant. 

You narrow your eyes. You probably need glasses but you make do. The last time you got your eyes checked, you didn’t have enough for the frames. 

The one man wears blue and red, an odd helmet on his head. Not a helmet at all but a sort of mask. The other man has dark hair to his chin and a beard to match. He’s all in black but his left arm shines with gold ripples. Not a sleeve, an arm, made of metal. 

“Oh my lord,” you murmur in shock, “Darnell!” You holler over your shoulder, “you’re not gonna believe this.” You turn to the window as he pokes his head around, “not sure I do myself. Tell me my eyes aren’t lyin’.” 

He looks above your head, an easy task for the mammoth cook. He hums and swirls around his spatula. “Thems those boys on the news. The one that was in the old war. Grandad’s battle.” 

“I’m not going crazy with boredom?” You bubble. 

He snorts. It’s as close to a laugh as you get from him. You spin back and hurry around the counter to grab a pair of menus. Still, you don’t want to seem too eager. You put down the menus and fiddle with a napkin holder instead. 

The bell over the door jingles and swipe up the menus and turn. You really can’t believe it’s them. Yet, as Captain America removes his cowl, you’re certain. They look just like they do on the TV. Even with your sight, you can tell. 

“Hello, fellas, how are you doin’ today?” 

The dark-haired one, the Winter Soldier, glances at the other, his cheek dimpling, “well... we’re... uh...” 

“We’re doing great,” Steve Rogers answers brightly. “Starving. You guys serve bacon? My buddy’s dying for some.” 

“Um, yes, sirs, yes. Can I sit ya down?” You ask, hugging the menus closer. 

“Please,” the Captain accepts as the other man stays silent and pensive, his eyes wandering down to the coffee stain on your apron. 

“Just here,” you sweep away and wave them on with you. You stop beside the nicest booth and lay down a menu on each side, “have a seat.” 

They do just as you bid. The blond puts his cowl on the table and unhooks the shield from his back to lay on the far end of the seat. He smooths back the sweaty strands of hair as his companion stretches his metal fingers. You sway nervously by the table, twitching as you remind yourself how to do your job. 

“Well, can I get ya started with coffee? You look beat from the road.” You beam with the smile Mr. Welk says could outshine the sun. 

“Not just the road,” the dark-haired one mutters as he rolls his shoulder. The one that connects to his real arm. “I’ll take one, please.” 

“Can I get an orange juice, please,” the Captain asks. 

“Course ya can. I’ll be right back. You have a look at the specials and give it a think,” you bounce and spin around. 

You go to pour the orange juice and a cup of black coffee. Darnell lingers by the window. He only ever really appears to put a plate up but he watches the new arrivals. 

You bring their drinks and step back, clasping your hands behind you. 

“Did ya need cream or sugar for your coffee, sir?” You ask. 

“Black’s fine,” he assures. 

“No need for the sirs. Steve, Bucky,” Captain America insists, “we’re off duty.” 

“Right, sorry about that, ssss...Steve,” you correct yourself. “You need some more time?” 

“Think I’m decided,” Bucky intones, “what about you?” 

“Set,” Steve confirms, “I’ll have the sunny side up with toast and sausage. Can I get some fruit on the side as well, please?” 

He hands over the menu and you take it as you hold your smile. Your cheeks ache. Not because you have to force it but because you can’t stop. This is the most exciting thing to happen in Tumble Down ever. If Darnell wasn’t there, no one would believe you. 

“Overeasy, bacon, extra bacon too, and some french toast, and uh... home fries.” Bucky offers up the second menu, “please and thank you.” 

“Alrighty,” you preen, “I’ll put your order in.” 

“Got it,” Darnell growls over the empty diner. 

“He’s got good hearing,” you giggle nervously as you look between the men. “Ummmm, sorry, I’ll leave ya be.” 

“You’re not bothering,” Steve assures. “I can see you’re dying to ask.” 

He gives a gentle smile. 

“Nah, oh, gosh. I’m sure ya get it all the time. I don’t wanna be one of those,” you put your hands up. “Really, you all look like you could use the peace and quiet.” 

“Well, actually, I’ve been stuck with this meathead for days,” Bucky scoffs, “so please, I’d love to hear someone else’s voice.” 

You laugh again. They’re funnier than you expect. They always look so serious on the TV. 

“What... what are y’all doing here in Tumble Down? It’s a bit far from... anywhere.” You ask sheepishly. 

“Tumble Down? Is that what it’s called?” Steve scratches his neck above his stained collar. “Well, we couldn’t get a signal so we’ve just been riding through. Saw the sign down the way and figured we’d get a bite.” 

“He’s lying. He was falling asleep on his bike,” Bucky teases. 

“Sure,” Steve shakes his head. “Only ‘cause I’m tired of you.” 

You giggle again, “I thought y’all were friends.” 

“Friends, partners, cursed with each other, have your pick,” Bucky snorts. 

“He’s playing,” Steve says. “Look, we’re boring. Despite what you think. We’re a couple of old men bickering with each other. What about you? What about Tumble Down?” 

“Ah, nothing really, sir. Steve,” you squeeze the menus tight at the edges. “Nothing going on since the coal law and that. Everyone’s all but run out. All but us.” 

“Just you? Your family?” Steve wonders. 

“Jesus, Steve, nosy much?” Bucky says over the brim of his mug. 

“Sorry. He’s right. Like I said. Crotchety old man. I talk to the pigeons.” 

You laugh again, “oh my, you are a hoot!” You slap your thigh emphatically, “I’m still my ma and pa. It’s just the three of us. They need help with the animals and that.” 

“Animals?” Steve wonders, his posture shifting towards you. 

“Chickens, cows. They got a farm. Was my grandpa’s. And his ma kept it going after he didn’t come home from... well, you’d know more about that time than me, I think.” You give a forlorn look to the floor. 

“Oh, I’m so sorry about your grandfather. Great grandfather,” he corrects himself. 

“Lotta good men gone,” Bucky mulls grimly. 

“Yeah, my great granny said as much. I wouldn’t know though, but I heard the stories,” you dare to look at them again. “Sorry to bring up the bad memories.” 

“Nah,” Bucky waves you off casually. “I got this nifty arm outta it.” 

“And I got a shield so, you know, not all losses,” Steve chuckles. 

“I s’pose,” you agree. “I’m gonna check on that food for ya. You good with your coffee?” 

Bucky raises the mug, “delicious.” 

You nod and turn with a swish of your skirt. You go up to the window and look over the ledge. “How’s it going, Darnell?” 

“Going. I’m happy it ain’t Raylene here. She’s got a mouth on her, don’t she? Them sort don’t deserve that trouble,” he tisks. 

“They’re nice. And Raylene is too. She’s just... Raylene,” you say, “can I help with anything?” 

“I don’t wanna be rude but I’m tired of tellin’ ya to stay outta my kitchen. You know the grill likes to spit,” he shakes his head. “You go, I’ll let ya know when it’s ready.” 

“Alright,” you back away and turn back. 

Steve and Bucky lean over the table, their voices low as they chat. As you move around behind the counter, they both sit up and the former clears his throat. You smile as you take the cloth from your apron pocket and wipe the already clean counter. 

As the radio buzzes, you hum without thinking. Stevie Ray Vaughan’s smoky voice mingles with the emotion plucked through electric strings. Your dad’s a big fan. He has old tapes with concerts on them and even went to one himself. 

The bell rings and you nearly jump out of your shoes. You turn and scoop up the plates as you thank Darnell. He grumbles that he’s going out to have a smoke; his code for having a Tootsie Pop by the backdoor. 

You bring the meals over to the table and set them down before the men. Their gazes make you sweat. It’s all a little more intense with no one else there. 

“Thank you,” Steve says and Bucky echoes him. 

“Not at all. Anything else? Water? Ketchup?” 

“It all looks great as is,” Steve says, “you got a nice voice.” 

“Oh, really? Ha, I was just humming out of tune. Sorry if I was too loud.” 

“Not at all,” Bucky picks up his fork as he leans forward. He tilts his head. “You know this one?” 

“Sure do. It’s Fleetwood Mac,” you answer. “One my all times.” 

He grins and nods as he looks at Steve. Steve watches you with a smile of his own. 

“Do you sing?” He asks. 

“Me? Only in my shower or to the chickens. They usually hide in the henhouse then.” You tinkle with laughter. 

“Ah,” Steve nods. 

“But if... if ya really wanna suffer, I could try it,” you smile, “but uh, you know, Stevie Nicks, she’s one of a kind.” 

“I’ve had worse,” Steve says. 

You look between him and Bucky. You chew your lip and think. You follow the song as you try to recognise which verse it is. You squint and perk up as you catch your place. 

“You just let me know when you’ve had enough,” you say before you start. Not only can you tell your pa that you met the super soldiers, you can tell him you sang for them. It’ll be a nice bit of excitement for the dinner table.

hello, my love! how're you? I hope you're well

could you write one more compilation between tom and y/n? further detailing their relationship with the rest of the cast. I love seeing you include Rachel in your writing, and I'd love to see her recording, commenting and showing more tweets about y/n and tom!!

thank you very much for your generous and sweet attention ❤️☺️

"Definitely an old couple."

pairing: tom blyth x actress!reader.

summary: your fans are obsessed with compilations of you and tom being an old married couple.

word count: 604!

notes: your request is an order, my sweet anon! and in the future i will post a request showing the tweets that Rachel shared with reader 😼!!

"Our beautiful lovebirds." — The camera, which was recording a video, is pointed at you and Tom, who were sitting in your chairs and observing yourself in the mirror that had been placed by the makeup artists. — "I love calling them that." — She commented alone, then, laughing; until Tom put the peacekeeper helmet on your head, all the while laughing about how adorable he looked.

Quickly, he grabbed his cell phone that was on the table in front of him and took a photo; in fact, more than two photos. — Suddenly, the camera goes into frontal mode, showing Rachel's image.

"A cliché couple, i love them."

"About the movie, i'm curious to know, in your opinion, what was the best thing about it?" — The interviewer asked, uncrossing her legs and waiting, attentively, for the answers.

"The best thing?" — A fake thoughtful frown formed on your face. — "I really think it was seeing blond Tom…?" — Tom hit your leg, laughing along with the interviewer; you tried to maintain a serious expression, conveying an air of confidence with your answer, a very complicated mission. — "Oh, and the worst thing was him returning to his natural color." — Your eyes swept over Tom, who continued to laugh, smiling listening to the sound of his laugh.

"That's not possible." — He recovered, running his hand through his coat, fixing it a little, and turning his head to the side, looking at you; his lips were still forming a mischievous smile. — "I remember you saying you're the number one fan of my natural hair." — Tom crossed his arms with a defiant look, and tilted his head.

"And i am, my dear." — Imitating his action, you also crossed your arms, teasing your boyfriend; Tom lightly pushed your arm and placed a hand on your thigh.

"Oh, and Tom and Y/n're, like, Lenny's godparents." — Rachel fixed her headphones, removing some strands that were in her ears, turning her head to the interviewer and Tom. — "Sometimes i feel like he prefers them over me." — She joked, feigning a melancholic frown and forming a small pout.

"It's just that she and i are his favorites now." — Tom replied, earning laughs from the interviewer and Rachel.

"And Y/n is the clear winner!" — Tom announced, clasping his hands together and looking at the camera, watching one of the producers, who worked behind the cameras, prepare to present the small prize. — "Can i dedicate a speech demonstrating my pride or is it too early?" — Rachel laughed, not believing his words and finding it funny, accompanied by Josh, with you making a gesture of reference. — "Please, honey."

"I don't know but i'll listen." — You replied, arranging a high-five with your boyfriend and noticing the presence of the little prize approaching. — "This is for me?" — Tilting your hand, you took the enchanting object and admired it; something that looked like a miniature Oscar, and was really adorable.

"When you're the best, you're the best." — Rachel and Josh spoke together.

"And i think Y/n just arrived!" — The interviewer commented, tilting her head towards a small crowd that was forming at the beginning of the red carpet; and several flashes and some screams were witnessed by everyone at the scene.

"Oh, she's here." — Leaning his hands on the railing and moving away, Tom ran his eyes over the crowd; until, finally, he had the opportunity to see you and, automatically, an exuberant glow remained in his deep blue eyes. — You were so beautiful, always have been, he thought. — "Look at her." — His tone was low, but so admirable and enchanted. — "I need to ask her for an autograph."

Once again, did some fanart of @lenny-link TF2 x SU AU, but tried making more fusions! :]

First one is Andalusite [Heavy + Medic] (who I've drawn before already), second one is Iolite [Cheavy + Medic], and the third one is Ametrine [Demoman + Soldier].

[Below the keep reading line, I'll show off the fourth fusion I drew as well, but ended up just-- disliking to hell and back o(-( Also, some notes and such about each fusion]

First off, here's the fourth fusion I did, which was Cat's Eye Tourmaline [Scout + Sniper]. (Side note: I picked out Tiger's Eye as Sniper's gem)

After looking at Steven's fusions with other gems (since Scout's a half-human half-gem in this AU fusing with Sniper who's a full gem), I did notice that basically all of them (besides Obsidian) had some kind of oddity to them. Like Smokey Quartz has three arms instead of four or just two, Rainbow 2.0 is the first gem with male pronouns and has a tad bit strange legs, and Sunstone isn't as humanoid as the other (non-corrupted) gems and fusions.

So I wanted to show that off here, but uh, I just ended up giving up on it in the end o(-( Mostly 'cause I had no clue how I wanted to color them based on the Cat's Eye Tourmaline gem, but also 'cause the overall design ended up leaned a bit more towards Sniper's design than I intended it to do.

Anyways, onto the notes for the other fusions.

Andalusite [Heavy + Medic]:

The duo that imo would probably fuse the most out of the TF2 crew, whether for battle or to just relax together (like reading a book or whatever). So with that, Heavy and Medic would have had plenty of time to refine how their fusion would look like, and making sure both of them like how they look together.

For their fusion weapon, I was thinking about them either having something like Garnet's upgraded gauntlets (the ones with spikes jutting out of it's knuckles), or letting the gauntlets have claws or something.

Iolite [Cheavy + Medic]:

I mostly did this one 'cause of one of the drawings in Lenny-Link's original piece, which made me thinking of Lapis and Jasper fusing into Malachite and all that, which lead me to this. I wanted the design to 1. Make it look chaotic due to the two people that are fused here, but also 2. Make it lean a tad more towards Cheavy's looks to make said guy think that he's the one mostly in control of the fusion, only to have Medic take over take over and do something to trap the fusion and/or get them the hell away from the TF2 crew. Something something angst idk lol

Decided to make Cheavy a [blue] Topaz. Since Heavy's a Topaz as well. I don't have any other reason than that :') Also, I placed his gem on the side of his right shoulder.

The eye goggles change color depending on who is in control. If the two weren't fighting for it, it would be one eye blue and one eye magenta. But since they are, whenever Cheavy's in control, the eyes are blue. And whenever Medic's in control, the eyes are magenta.

Ametrine [Demoman + Soldier]:

Originally, I was going to have them be a Morganite, but decided on Ametrine instead as it fit their color scheme more. Also originally, I was going to give them a knight helmet, but I wanted to draw their hair, so I instead gave them a bandana covering their possibly one eye. Possibly.

Assuming Soldier's helmet (with or without the horns) is Soldier's gem weapon like Jasper's helmet, I thought it would be neat if their fusion weapon [(horned) helmet + sword] would be something like a Morningstar, which they would be able to duel-wield without much trouble.

I've got other lil' ideas as well for this AU, like how Jeremy/Scout was the one that gave these gems their nicknames (Spy, Sniper, Engineer, etc.), how Medic grew a fascination for the organic lifeforms of Earth and how exactly they healed/was able to treat their wounds, and how- instead of Spy being all dead and gone Rose Quartz style when Jeremy was born- Spy is a lot weaker than he should be due Jeremy getting half of his gem. But uh-- I don't wanna go too overboard when this ain't even my AU :')

Either way, I'll probably go and relax a bit before drawing some regular TF2 stuff. But I might do some more fanart for this AU whenever I feel up for it. 'Cause genuinely, I love this AU sm <3

[fallen-gabrielle]

Alright, I'm finally done with this redraw of old fanarts I did 5-6 years ago. I tried to give them a more dynamic pose when I could.

I took the opportunity to draw Lenny without his helmet, in both his delightful side and his Sector Z counterpart. Also, that's also his canon haircut as Sector Z 👀

Since I don't know the canon eye colour for Constance, I went with the solid black dot eyes for her.

[kndwriter]

Hey what's your headcannon about Lenny tho

This is gonna be a long post. Sector z Lenny: Interest: - He learned his love for boxing from the movie Rocky (1976) - Has a hyperfixation of boxing and football (Would definitely sneak into one if he can't afford to go) - Is the only kid in his sector that loves to learn stuff in school or anywhere really. - Dreams to be a boxer or a football player when he grows up, or if his plans doesn't work then a coach. Personal: - Is a friend magnet, he can be friends with anyone even villains! - His teeth are super messed up, you can see his canines poking out. - Very insecure of his sheep like laugh - Has a sweet tooth - Loves to eat spice even if his tongue hurts. - Hides his own emotions to help others. - Would try to use big words to sound smart but fails.

Delightful Lenny: Interest: - Does have a Pokemon collection (Hides it from anyone, even his siblings and father) - Loves the topics of Neurology and the biology of the human body. - Dreams of becoming a doctor or dentist, if he ever grows up. - Interest of learning about dental hygiene and would even study his own teeth. - The only villain he likes Knightbrace, since he would gladly tell Lenny about dental work. - One of his comforts is drinking coffee Personal: - Lost his love for spots since he was delightfulized. - Braces would hurt his teeth even more, can't even chew hard-like foods, has to be soft. - Will insult you even if you were nice to him, he is very introvert. - Him and his siblings are very similar, but what makes him different is how he can be easily tricked. Get him into revealing evil plans by giving him compliments. - Is the only delightful who can be separate for a long time, but will get a anxiety attack.

(I know he has a helmet, but this screenshot is my fav) LTDFCD Lenny: Interest: - Loves to swim, like will swim for hours until his body is wrinkled and sore. - The interest in the sea is his number one goal to talk about, will ramble for hours about it. Personal: - Has a pet turtle that lives in a box - Can't go without a day of eating a snow cone. - He is too joyful to even get mad. Insult him and he'll be like "Ok, but you wanna go swim in that lake over there?" - Forgets to wear shoes, accidentally making the floors even more dirty at home.

Headcanons of them as a whole!: - We'll get very overwhelmed easily, trying to distract themselves or just hold it in until their alone or with their love ones (siblings/friends) - Has Leproiphobia (Fear of bunnies) - Doesn't like being felt alone and will find someone to hangout with or even stand next too. - HATES the dark - They believe if they don't wear their accessories (Helmet, goggles, and head gear). They'll look weird and feel insecure of taking it off.

[artsygirl0315]

Hello 👋 sorry you keep getting delightful children/ sector z asks but I thought about this and wanted to know your take on it so if they get undelightfulized what would change from there personalities/ mental health? How would they deal with it?

(Sorry if this is just a messy doodle, I wanted to explain it with only slight differences of their personality rather than showcase it for now)

If put into a hypothetical situation, I would put into thought that they would be undelightfulized when Operation ZERO occured and stayed as Sector Z.

The idea of freedom after what felt like years of being delightfuls was such a breath of fresh air but also a sudden change, They didn't know how to process it all while in Operation ZERO but when they do, It gets all weird like a pill that's hard to swallow.

Sector Z would get their places back in the KND and their old positions back in the organization but with slight changes in their demeanors.

Bruce was more hard on himself as he constantly blames himself for putting his team into such positions that he vowed he'd never let it happen again, Alongside David, They became more protective and on guard for the whole time.

Never once did Bruce stop being cautious as he looked out for his team more, David was considered as the 'big brother' when they were Delightfuls so he kept that role and became one of the overprotective ones of the sector.

Bruce's eyes we're already blue before being delightful so the slight change or hue only affected him which he despises the most, It reminded him too much of what happened.

Alessandra was still her same old self, A timid yet charismatic girl with a love for combat and had a respectful aura to her but recently became more solemn and reserved. She never forgot about the trauma her and her sector went through and had still been processing everything that happened, questioning why it took so long and what would happen if it happens again? She didn't want to think about it but what more can she think about?

Lenny was still a bit shaken up about what happened and even the slightest mention would make him freeze on the spot and his mind would start whirling with memories, The only thing he felt safe in were either in Constance's touch or his safety blanket. He still had some bad memories considering he was the one who got more injuries and trouble than the rest, He still got scared. Sometimes, he couldn't stop thinking about his football helmet.

Constance was always the quiet and reserved kind of person but lately they've been more distant and unavailable, Not easy to opening up to other people other than their sector. They have still been thinking through their past and wanted to take things slow and steady to process, They were still themselves but their silence felt more cold and distant now if you were new to them.

Sometimes all of them would subconsciously do things or speak in unison, much to their collective dismay. They tried to avoid doing so whenever a pull in their mind started tugging, They wouldn't give in and just try to ignore their old habits.

[kndartcentral]

Some delightful children drawings! And my own personal backstory as to how Lenny got his helmet lmao

[anastasia-queen]

I'm making a KND discussion of the members of Sector Z positions in the KND outside their sectors. (New Headcanon)

Okay, I always like the headcanon that Chad knew Sector Z and used to train them, specifically with Lenny. Therefore, I decided to expand the idea by thinking that every relevant former KND Operatives in the Teen Ninjas squad or current TND operatives except Maurice and Rachel (post-finale) learned most of their combat and leadership skills from Sector Z.

For example

Bruce was Numbuh 100/The Steve Mentor

David was Chuckie's Mentor

Alessandra was Cree's/Numbuh 11 Mentor

Lenny was Chad's/Numbuh 274 Mentor

Constance was The Teenage Spy Mentor

Inadvertently, this idea implies that Alessandra and Lenny were the KND's most elite and strongest operatives in combat, considering the status of Cree and Chad being called the KND's best and strongest operatives of their time.

It could explain why only Alessandra and Lenny are militaristic armor by design than the other members of their sector because they were higher in command in the KND organization like Numbuh 35, 36A & 36B, 44A & 44B, 65.3, 86, 100, 206, 274, 362. Hence, their similar clothing styles of a metallic pot or samurai helmet of sorts (indicating their status of higher command) and black-to-brown combat shoes/boots.

Alessandra and Lenny were probably High Ranking Drill Sergeants for the KND and had their departments. Therefore, this means that Alessandra and Lenny were part of the old KND Global Command when they were outside of their sector or missions.

As for the other members of Sector Z, I think they were some variation of high-command KND operatives (a different department of KND global command operatives but still associated with them) considering how similar their clothing is to each other. If this is the case for the members of Sector Z, this could explain their legendary status among the Kids Next Door if they often or are associated with KND Global Command.

Post Edit 6/25/23:

I believe that Alessandra & Bruce are KND Global Officers Now. The indication for proofing this is that only global command officers wear padded circles with outfits.

I believe that Bruce is the leader/head of his department, considering that David & Constance also wear similar clothing to him. However, they lack the signature padded circles may indicate that they are under his leadership.

As for Alessandra, she's probably from a different department of global command based on her outfit being different from Bruce's.

[box-of-chaooos]

I know lennys helemt is meant to be a football helmet but the style of it like shape wise looks a lot like an open face motorbike helmet idk just looking closely ig, I wanna cosplay him as some point so I’m just looking for helmets that and I have sensory issues so I like helmets

[spicedwatermel0n]

Ok first off i love the way u drew tdcfdtl like literally amazing. Second do u got any dcfdtl angst hcs? I would love to cry about them :D (if not thats cool :>)

Oh boy oh boy oh boy

You are in for a treat my friend

Of course I cannot go through any hyperfixation without traumatizing every reoccurring character ‼️

TW// PARENTAL ABUSE/NEGLECT

Methinks the Delightfuls could technically do things on their own, and they truly don't want to be doing any of the things they did in the show, but they do it because of their fear of Father. He has complete control over them. If they refuse, he lights them on fire and only extinguishes them when he hears an apology. They know he'd let them die if they were to just, not apologize, or if they were to do something against his wishes.

They have burn marks all over their bodies and David (who usually steps in front of Bruce and Connie to protect them) has such bad burns that most of his torso is beyond healing.

After the events of ZERO, Hoagie and Kuki (both being abuse victims) noticed the burns and their way of acting at some point and they'll occasionally sneak small gifts into their mansion for them, stuff Father won't take away from them that will make them feel happy. They don't usually get the chance to be happy.

They sleep in a very specific pile to insure they don't hurt each other on accident by making contact with one of the other's burn marks. Lenny suffers from an unknown chronic pain disability, leftover from his original self, that causes the burns to feel much more painful than normal. It's so bad that when contact is made with a burn mark, he screams in agony (of course, it's technically all of them that scream, but he's the one provoking it). The others work to protect him specifically from this pain by staying in front of him so that he's completely covered from the neck down. The helmet he wears protects his facial burns.

They speak to each other in their heads when they're alone. Father doesn't like it when they speak to each other out loud, so they do it in their minds. They have very personal conversations with each other. Ones that Father would beat the shit outta them for. Things like how they feel about themselves, how they feel about their situation, and how much pain they're in. The conversations are mostly tame, usually just about their interests that Father allows them to have, but there are times where they get far too close to crying from how deep the conversations can get. Doesn't help that there's already constant reminders of how stuck they are and how they'll never escape their living conditions.

since the lennies canonically wore spiky helmets styled after the German ones from WWI that are similar to the one Marius wears, it would be interesting if Tim didn't like him at first because of that

Chapter Ten: Land of Confusion

No one attempted to raid the Tower again.

No one else ever sailed with Metalbeard again after that, either, though Benny was of the opinion that it was more his reluctance to find a new crew, after he’d led his previous one to their doom. So he set about helping his friend any way he could, implementing automated functions that could replace the work of a full crew. It took his mind off the need to build spaceships, at least for a while. Within six months, and with continual feedback from the captain, they finally had the Sea Cow fully rigged to sail without help from a single soul. Metalbeard seemed happy enough with it, and spent more and more time away at sea. Benny and Unikitty made no mention of it, and never harassed him to visit more often. He had to deal with the consequences in his own way.

Another year and a half passed, with little to no word from the outside world. By now, all but a handful of Master Builders resided in Cloud Cuckooland. The few holdouts were Ken and Lenny, Metalbeard, Batman, Vitruvius, and his last pupil whose name Benny could never keep track of, she changed it so often. Snazzypants, maybe. Last he heard, she was hunting down the Piece of Resistance. There were so few of them left now, they couldn’t afford to wait for it to surface on its own.

Benny himself had been confined to Cloud Cuckooland within the last few months; his need to Build spaceships had gotten to be too overwhelming, and he so often lost himself in that obsession. At least there, if he did manage to finish one before someone caught him, it would be where the Super Secret Police wouldn’t spot it.

And then came the email. The Piece of Resistance had been found. Vitruvius had The Special with him, and they were on their way to Cloud Cuckooland to try to come up with a plan. Whatever they decided to do, it would be their final stand. Their do-or-die moment.

Benny hoped it involved spaceships.

He waited in the Dome of Gathering (which Unikitty had affectionately nicknamed the ‘Dog’, and explained once its appearance had been inspired by her little brother), occasionally being tugged back down by either Ken or Lenny. He draped himself over Ken. “How long do you think it’ll take them to get here?” he complained. Ken reached up, raking gloved fingers through Benny’s curls before nudging his broken helmet back at him. Benny pulled it on without a word.

“Not much longer, I hope,” he answered.

“I got a spaceship to finish…”

“We really should have taken him with us to the moon base,” Lenny whispered, leaning close to Ken. “This is getting bad.”

“You know we can’t, Benny’s grounded,” Ken whispered back. “The rules are in place for a reason. What if he got away from us, and got lost in space?” Lenny sighed.

“Yeah, but- what number did Unikitty say he’s on now? One-thirty-two, or so? He’s going to completely flip out if he doesn’t get to finish a spaceship soon.”

Finally, the last of the Master Builders trickled in, followed by Batman, Vitruvius, his student, and an unfamiliar young man Benny could only guess was The Special. Slowly, a grin stretched across his face.

Unfamiliar.

That meant not a Master Builder.

Oh, this was going to be a blast.

Some of the Delightful Children's Origins were revealed in the TV movie "Operation Z.E.R.O." where it turns out they were originally apart of KND as the long forgotten Sector Zero (Each code name Numbuh 0.1 through 0.5).

I'm sure if Galactic KND will ever gets made they would find a permanent solution in undoing the brainwashing.

Hm, interesting. I faintly recall an episode where Lenny (the kid with the football helmet) worked alongside the KND, but i don't re,member if he was a double agent or even a triple agent!

[alwaysunstablefreak]

My terrible first attempt to draw Lenny from KND

(Also I added a heart sticker and Hatsune Miku sticker on his helmet cuz yes)
