… I’m gonna emotionally destroy a lot of people today, aren’t I?

Anyway, happy 4th anniversary of @eternalglitch's “Like Father, Like Son” fanfic on AO3. Really looking forward to the next update… someday.

Can you draw the shadows with Grandpa Russel the opossum?

No pressure. I know you probably get a million requests a day. But also, Opossum Graves.

T141: Our mascot is a well trained military dog with field experience and is a God Boy.

Graves; -holds up opossum- We found him eating pizza rolls in the trash

The man has a secret soft spot for the creatures 🤷‍♀️

New mascot gets an honorary rank, is fed all the treats, can be seen slowly ambling around base, and shamelessly curls up into unsuspecting Shadows’ laps for cuddles. Russell lives the sweet life✨

I feel like the "your son's best friend wants to fuck you" trope is right up your alley. Imagine a character non conning their friends mom and telling her not to snitch because it'd be so humiliating for her son

AAAAAAAAAAA ANON, imagine the son just slowly catching onto something being off, he just doesn’t know exactly what. Sure, they were already supposed to meet up after school at his house, but why is his friend here before even he got there…? Why do you always keep your gaze to the ground these days? Why does his friend suddenly have this smug aura about him, always talking down to him? What’s with the weird tension between you two? His friend did do the standard “your mom is hot” comment once (which he quickly hit him for), maybe you heard that and don’t like him now? He just doesn’t know, but he can feel something is wrong.

He has no idea that virtually on a daily basis now, you’re getting bent over your own countertop, railed by this horrible horrible boy who whispers in your ear how much he’d love for your son to walk in right about now. He intentionally pushes it as close as he can to when your son is supposed to get home, trying to get you to panic. Wouldn’t that be hilarious? Imagine the look on his face. The shock and betrayal and fury… and oh how he’d love to gloat about it, tell him just how good his mommy feels, how warm and tight her insides are… maybe if he takes just a bit too long, he’ll get his wish in reality…

Did Brambleclaw actually disown the Three when the secret is revealed? I don't remember this happening (then again, it's been a while) but it does bug me how all three go "Poor brambleclaw :(( He was such a good dad to us and he has to learn we're not even his biokits :(((( poor guy" while simultaneously shitting on Leafpool and Squirrelflight despite them showing them more care and affection before AND after the reveal. If he does disown them, then.... WOW is the double standard real here.

In-canon? It's something you have to approximate. They don't seem to have a concept of ""disowning"" because blood relation is taken as such an insurmountable, FUNDAMENTAL fact of life. He doesn't write them out of his little kitty will and testament, but his actions ARE disowning.

It's as if the fact he is not their biological father is an automatic disowning. From the reveal onwards, he is immediately cold, distant, and the "betrayal" is mentioned often. The Three also explicitly don't blame him for his behavior, like it's just to be expected that he's Not Their Dad anymore.

Lionblaze in particular stares longingly at him several times, really missing him. And like... that's kinda what gets my goat so much

I do believe Brambleclaw is entitled to his feelings of betrayal. I believe Squilf was ultimately in the right to lie, actually, but he's still allowed to be upset and angry that she didn't trust him enough to tell him something so important. THAT SAID, YOU ARE NEVER ENTITLED TO TREAT OTHERS POORLY.

And that's what GETS me. He isn't upset that it was all revealed in such a painful and embarassing way when this could have been avoided, or that his lover struggled with this lie for so long without him, or that he feels he's lost his children. Squilf points it out in The Last Hope-- He's so ANGRY at Squilf that he will THROW HIS FAMILY AWAY

Lionblaze seems desperate to be his son again. Hollyleaf is gone for months, and Brambleclaw is still huffing about the secret when she comes back from the dead. Squilf is fawning in the hopes it makes him talk to her again. Doesn't matter. Brambleclaw Is Upsetti Spaghetti so the narrative will never examine his role in hurting this family he apparently loved so much.

(Narrative seems to understand full well that when Squilf lies for a good reason, that doesn't invalidate the hurt Brambleclaw felt... but when Brambleclaw is upset for a good reason, it actually DOES validate what he put her and his kids through)

In BB it is explicitly a disowning. He cuts them off as his children, and they reciprocate. BB!Lionblaze does so in a ball of fury, vowing that he has ONLY a mother.

DRAGON BALL Z X THE BROTHERS SUN on Netflix

unrelated rare fun fanart stuff these days, i like both shows for many culturally related reasons, but for THE BROTHERS SUN? Would love to see a second season being greenlit please, that show's good and not bc I'm a bias for Michelle Yeoh lol

Give it a watch if you like Taiwan triads matters with dysfunctional Asian family problems with 2 brothers living 2 different lives in 2 different sides of the world (yes it's very much a US series with the whole cast being Asians, we love representations in this house)

[punkeropercyjackson]

I've joked that Percy Jackson is just Hobie Brown if he listened to My Chemical Romance and i mean

..........Yeah lmao,that's literally what he looks like

I find it so funny how Wanda very clearly just kinda hates Dev. Girl be mad at the system that gave your son a difficult godkid his first go around, not the 10 year old emotionally neglected child.

The Shroud family is so funny and precious 😂😭

I take it all back -- this is the best conversation in the entire game.

Ive been thinking about this. So, there are a few productions where der Tod is supposed to only have a romantic relationship with Elisabeth, like, their relationship is "special" because hes never been in love before, whch I dont like because I always thought that hes Like That with everyone, or atleast with everyone who thinks about death and dying a lot, its just presented as special because Elisabeth is the central character. But whatever, some productions wanna make it extra amatonormative romantic so hes never felt that kind of love towards anyone before and will never feel it again after the story is done, I know thats definitely the case in the takarazuka production and I think thats also what they did for the hungarian production (i havent seen that one in a while so im not sure) and from what Ive heard about the newer austrain productions, it seems like they do it like that as well. Okay, sure, Elisabeth is der Tods one true love, why not, yay heterosexuality. But then why is doing all that shit Rudolf though

Female Bruce Wayne is great because all of her children have mommy issues. They'll also be feral at all times. Only They can disrespect Mom
