Just once. I would like a story where the main characters have kids go on to be about the main characters and not the kids
#lives don't end at 30#the plotline where the Dad dies early protecting his young child is so overused#let parents grow old#let parents have epic plots beyond their youthful years#writing#storytelling#this is as much about avatar the way of water as it is about freaking Httyd 3#wherethekiteflies#but I'm sure I could name so many more.#Stalka riding dragons and rekindling their love was as best as it got#before the trope took Stoick too

Prompt 225
Klarion is EXCITED. He's absolutely DELIGHTED even, unable to sit still as he flits from place to place. His baby cousin! Is! Visiting! Which OBVIOUSLY means he, as the older one, must make sure the main places are still standing so he can show his itty bitty baby cousin EVERYTHING! After all, he's never gotten to be the older one! He's always been the youngest in the family! But now he has an itty bitty toddler cousin- form recently shifted to match- to teach the ways of Chaos to! He's so EXCITED!
The League and heroes on the other hand, are Very concerned about Why the Witch Boy has been spotted in practically every major city in the US in the last few days. What is he planning?!
#prompts#dcxdp#dpxdc#klarion the witch boy#Danny fenton#Chaos & Clockwork are twin primordials#Danny might be stuck in this toddler form while he grows up again but this won't stop him#He is down for playing with his new cousin- aka causing mischief & exploring#Klarion is the realms equivalent of a 6 year old#Chaos has a very hands off approach to parenting while CW looks like he has a hands off approach#He is in fact a bit of a helicopter parent just via looking through mirrors#Danny is his first ghostling and look at all the danger he's gotten into at the fetus age of 3#He has a right to worry!#DC world is the equivalent of a playground for primordial beings to let their kids run around in#At least that's how they see it#Ghosts fight for playing so that's what Klarion does with the league kid/teen teams lol#There has been many a miscommunication due to most entities avoiding Realms beings like the plagues#space core danny#DANNY IS NOT GHOST KING

People are so disgusted about the very idea of old people fucking. Damn, sorry you're gonna grow old and miserable about your sex life due to societal stigmas. Couldn't be me.
#if I grow old and I wanna fuck I'm gonna do so in a healthy and consensual way! Or I'll masturbate!#why would I not want to??? (other than being ace but we're playing devil's advocate here and today the devil thinks about having sex)#why let society teach you and younger people that becoming old is disgusting and you can't even be intimate with your partner(s)???#soo fucking fake. like ngl I appreciate ''weird'' episodes like in bob's burgers where they discuss this#when Linda's parents moved into a community of swingers and they were all old. NORMALIZE OLD PEOPLE FUCKING!!#THEY'RE STILL HUMANS!!!!

And then, Henry is holding them really tight, more for his security than theirs, and he walks out of the dungeon (ep 42)
I cannot be the only one who cried when the twins climbed Henry and sat on his shoulders like two loving pauldrons 🥺
#I am NOT ready for the next episode#also he is so strong for carrying two 12 year-olds like that#and now some design notes yayy#the string visible under Henry's shirt is a necklace with the birthstones of the four of them (he tucks it under his shirt to keep it safe)#Lark is on Henry's right shoulder and Sparrow's on his left if it's unclear (you can barely see the ends of their tattoos)#I think the twins have had different haircuts throughout their lives to keep things simple for their parents#after the events of S1 Lark buzzed his hair to further himself from Henry and Sparrow let his grow out (I'm working on their S2 designs rn)#Lark has a black toe from kicking something too hard#Sparrow and him used to have matching bead bracelets but Lark's got ripped during the pyramid incident#Sparrow offered him his but Lark wouldn't take it#also these trees do not look like oaks and especially not the same one but it was so ugly when I tried to do that so shhh#this was actually my first dndads fanart but it was left in my sketchbook for MONTHS before I decided to digitalize it...#so I actually sketched it the moment I heard the ep and before Deck Picks which makes me lose it#anyway!#my art#dndads#dungeons and daddies#dndads s1#dndaddies#dndads odyssey#henry oak#sparrow oak#lark oak#sparrow oak garcia#lark oak garcia

Photos of your childhood that really make you go "Oh, Hmm."
This may come off as trauma dumping, but its funny to me so im going to post it anyway Very recently I've been tidying up a little and going through photos of my childhood, boring shit like class photos basically and Holy Shit child me was so fucked up, lmfao like, in all my class photos, the Horrors were so directly written on my face that the contrast between me and my classmates were Deranged Like I cannot explain in words alone how fucking clearly written it was all over my face how fucked up I was I had to draw a picture of it I will caveat I'm in my 30's now and it's been a long time and im good now, but holy shit young me, IM looking at you thinking "There's something fucked up with this child" anyway enjoy my hastily draw recreation of what i think is my 6th grade class photo anyway if you Share that feeling just comment "Big Oof" on the post If you have similar childhood photos to mine comment "Yo! Same Childhood!!"
#gotta love good old childhood trauma#flavor: neglectful and directly abusive parents that let me grow up without ever experiencing a positive emotion

Do you ever wonder how the maurauders era is made up of canon stuff?!?!? like the only official thing we got was 5 pages or smth but ppl loved it so much that atp it's a completely different universe.
BUT
Do I love it? yes, Yes I do. I do love me some Wolfstar content like they're so CUTE!?!?! and how James and Regulus are together like how tf did that happen? and Lily Potter the queen is so sassy like?!?!I LOVE THEM The only person I don't see much is Wormtail But like every day I see new characters popping up and stuff. ISTG people have way too much free time to make this all up
#dumbledore is shit#mauraders#the mauraders#growing up is realising that Dumbledore let a 17year old sacrifice himself and that's fked up#snape loved lily and hated james but that does not excuse the way he treated harry like bro he doesn't even know his parent?!?!?#maurauders era#james potter#james x regulus#regulus black#sirius black#remus x sirius#sirius and regulus#remus lupin#remus loves sirius#wolfstar#lilly potter#mischief managed#harry potter#hogwarts#maurders era#maurauders fanfic

and what if i started 'dean is too nice to sam' truthing ?
#well. publicly. bc i already am truthing that sdjkfjd#LISTEN. this show was really really bad at portraying actual sibling dynamics dfkdgk like half their fights would not be that deep irl#like oh you tried to kill me? ok well here's a funny picture of dog and also that's you ok lets go get food#dean as the eldest sibling should've told sam 'i'm right bc i'm the oldest do what i say' like. alllll the time#bc he's right and he's the oldest :) and sam just has to accept that he will ALWAYS be the baby even at 39 yrs old#esp dean being a parentified older sibling like. sam is simultaneously his annoying lil brother AND his pseduo-child#even if sam doesn't want to acknowledge that dean was his main most stable parental figure growing up it doesn't change the fact that#for dean that's what sam is. and so oscillating between the two roles of older brother and parent makes for a complicated dynamic#where you'll like. die for them. but also tease them mercilessly and call them a lil freak and weirdo#(but if anyone else did that you'd punch them out)#but yea. canon dean. too nice.#should've teased him more and gotten into more play fights + actual fights that end w/ them laughing + getting slushies at the gas 'n' sip#siblings siblings#vic.txt

everyone knows the real thanksgiving celebration is the car ride home where you psychoanalyze your parents to make sure you don’t end up the same😌
#4.5 hours of driving never goes by so quickly#this year especially!#my parents are 70 years old now and the topic of how to parent my parents is a very real concern.#they both are so good at letting the setbacks fester and istg my mom has never been more scatterbrained and petulant in her life.#my dad also definitely has anxiety but is of an age where he would never quite realize that.#they’re so stubborn and determined to be independent but at what cost?? and the way they talk behind each others back…#today i had to passionately defend some of my dad’s choices to my mom in ways i could have not anticipated for being kinda distant from him#when i was growing up.#anyways. happy holidays! always an interesting time!

You ever wake up from a dream so fucked that you have to sit there for 10 minutes after waking to rewrite the ending so that you can move on with your day or are you normal
#messages from knave#i keep having these ongoing dreams about an alternate reality version of my life#mainly about my parents#like right after i lost my job i had a dream that they'd moved to another state on a whim#and just told me to either upend my entire life to move to florida with them or figure it out#and i ended up moving into a much shittier apartment before realizing 'wait i have a whole house' and moving back into my own house in NJ#and then last night i dreamed I'd visited them and spent a day with my nephews then we all went to a wrestling match#and then after almost being run over by my dad cause he started driving while i was getting into the car#we go back to their house and i take a fat nap only to wake up in the dream and discover that I've disturbed this thumbelina sized toddler#that my mom jad apparentky adopted and then completely forgot about. and we wtruggled to getbit comfortable again on its little ved#then it escaped as toddlers do and i went through a comedy of errors trying to find it only to find it seemingly plastic and lifeless#only for it to start going through rapid metamorphosis into an adult and running around my parents house#my dad and i tried to stop it from growing up becuase every transformation opened up a new pocket dimension or something#then the dream changed into something else as my brain slowly booted back up from a migraine back into reality and i woke up#but the visage of a polly pocket sized toddler being left behind in my adult sized bed really shook me for some reason#it was so small and it was on a teeny pink pillow and it had a little purple teddy it kept dropping#but now I'm thinking of the logitstics of actually raising a child you could step on and squash by accident#that must be nerve wracking like how did thumbelina make it to adulthood without being confibed to a single room or even a single table#cause my first instinct is to build a diarama on a table for them and never let them leave until they're old enough to dodge

I've literally never understood parents who don't let their like... TODDLER age kids play with kids of the "opposite" gender. Like wtf do you think your 3 year old is gonna get up to????? News flash heteros people aren't literally born sexual beings and you don't need to protect your sweet baby girl from the boy from her preschool class.
Which also makes boy/girl friendships later on actually LESS TABOO meaning, if your kid grew up being friends with OTHER GENDERS, they will be less likely to see others solely as potential romantic/sexual objects and can actually have positive normal friendships with people of any sex or gender. Who fucking knew that if you don't treat something as FORBIDDEN then it stops being so appealing, especially if you have a rebellious streak
#its just fucking weird!!!!#like i know im a guy now but when i was little i was allowed to play with anyone of any gender. it wasnt a factor#my first ''friend'' (another baby about my age when i was like less than 1 year old) was a boy!!!#my parents are far from perfect vut at least they didnt treat gender as this all important thing that actually really matters#me and my siblings could do whatever we wanted with our hair and could dress how we wanted and i played with trucks and my brother played#with barbies!!! and guess what only one of us ended up trans and gay as far as i know !!!!!#also my dad took me fishing and taught me how to tie the line and bait the hooks and i sucked at it but he still taught me#he didnt assume i wouldnt want to just cus i was a 'girl' and if i ever showed any interest in mechanical stuff he would have taught me that#my mom taught my other brother how to sew just like she taught me and my sister. it wasnt cus of gender roles it was cus we were creative#our other brother might know too idk!! i havent asked. but my mom was basically a seamstress so she probably taught us all#tho i suck at it unfortunately#anyway point is stop making gender and inter-gender friendships such a big fucking deal and maybe your kid will actually grow up normal#''men and women cant be just friends'' only because you never let boys and girls be friends ☝️ 🤓

kind of astounding how innocuous conversations with my younger siblings can make me feel like dogshit... what are the good things about being the oldest kid supposed to be again??
#N posts stuff#two of my siblings are currently in college and they both talk about it in ways that. hm.#my sister did an accelerated program to graduate high school and go to college Early so she's got kind of an...#'i am the most put together teenager on the planet' attitude a lot at the moment. so. she talks shit about her peers like#'if she'd stop spending money on Product and just Grow UP nd get an apartment and move out of her parents' house already'#and she's like. ragging on a kid who's only Maybe 20 years old and i'm sitting at the table at almost 30 still here like '......'#and my brother has been picking my brain lately about the shit i did in college and how the classes benefitted me and all#bc i went to art school for illustration and he's getting a music degree so it makes sense#but he's like 'was college challenging for you?' and i'm like. trying to figure out how to talk around the fact that i didn't necessarily#have trouble with the Classes but was trying really hard to juggle like. being in so much pain i couldn't walk or like..#trying to do homework while in the midst of a psychotic break or having meltdowns in public restaurants like. that kind of stuff#i don't really like talking about that stuff explicitly bc. idk. it doesn't really go anywhere good. not Bad necessarily#or no worse than overhearing my mom talking to them about the validity of my autism DX behind my back at least.#but i don't talk about it. no one really takes me seriously already so. no need to exacerbate that.#i might crack jokes about it in passing but i don't Talk About It. idk what any of them think about like. any of it. or about Me i guess#idk it's weird. it's Weird bc like.. in a very general sense i feel liek i'm Doing Good. not Fantastic but better than i used to.#and like. OK w the day to day of my life; like i could Keep doing it and have A Future even if i still can't figure out what it'd BE exactl#but then idk. sometimes i hear them talk and it feels like it's just. highlighting everything that i Can't do and it just. feels ugly.#like idk where to put it. idk how to reconcile feeling stupid and small for how i live my life with the fact i otherwise feel like#generally pretty Good about my life. i spent my whole life from elementary school to like. 24 thinking i'd be dead by 18.#and it's like Just Recently i'm like 'oh i actually have a Whole Life ahead of me and thats a Good Thing' but.#like idk how to phrase it. i don't feel Bad about it but it's like i guess i'm stuck wondering if i Should be. is it Bad that i'm content?#like i can't ask the question 'is there something wrong with me' in earnest bc Yes there is but. idk#it all feels like puzzle pieces that don't fit together. 'lets see you take a crack at it wise guy' idk what i'm doing or feeling rn lmao

Maturing is just me realizing that I don't actually hate children. I just like to keep a distance.
Because after being an art teacher and seeing all kinds of parents, I realise that one of my greatest fear is becoming one of those parents that nitpick their children's artworks and criticise instead of encouraging.
#mango rants#i left that job long ago because terrible boss and shitty fucking parents#taught a 10 year old boy who was an anxious mess because his mother was a perfectionist and she would scold and embarrass him in public#if his artwork did not look like a master painting#i saw so much shit that’s like free birth control for me because i dont wanna end up like those parents#like dont get me wrong ik some parents are doing their best for their children but bffr#let them grow and learn on their own without you nitpicking and criticizing them

fighting yowai....
#what must it be like to be 10 years old only child#and then suddenly you have a little sister that eberyine adores and fawns over#like i just kniw they spoilt totoko so bad (canon) and neglected fighting for it (my delusion)#he probabky tried to bully her and got heavily reprimended by his parents for it#probably would lead to him still being childish at 20... suddenly not getting attention anymore -> regression and acting out#maybe anger issues too. hence boxing#idk. i feel like he mustve grown upcresenting her to some degree#little girl who gets everything#i mean their parents did let him live at homr still at 20 but that seemed contingent on him inheriting the fish shop#idk. im hallucinating. im delusional. but man. what must their relationship have been like...#now that theyre both adults they can get along as equals. but oh.. the gaps from childhood they cant fill#considering their age difference i wonder if they even felt like family at a certain point....#tragedy of the spoilt girl and her forgotten brother....#the way it ruined theur lives (potentially) in different ways#sorry. im thinking too hard abt it im hallucinating. sorry#aughhh i love totoko as a study of a spoilt girl grown up though#the sextuplets and her both pampered as kids and never grew up#vs fighting at 20 who wanted to be an adult but didnt want to grow up.. now with child..#potentially reconnecting w parents for first time in years??#sorry. im thinking too much abt a character who showed up for 3 seconds. sorry#sorry i started relating the character w 1 manga appearance to my own personal familial dynamics and now im invested. sorry
