#look at them they love their Gruncle so much

[misteria247]

They make me fucking weep. Look at them-

They look so unsure at first and then-

Immediately they're loving every moment of it. Fuck these three make me so stupidly soft.

[an-au-blog]

Okay okay hear me out foster au. Luffy, Ace and Sabo were raised by their foster mom Dadan and foster dad Whitebeard (along with Whitebeard's many grown adopted kids who visit from time to time and Dadan and Whitebeard aren't a romantic couple they are friends who decided to foster together because why not) after Luffy's dad dipped after his birth and Crocodile was deemed unfit to raise him (Crocodile is a recovering alcoholic) not long after his birth, Garp was granted visitation rights. Ace's mom died after giving birth to him from undiagnosed Pre-eclampsia and his dad was murdered before he was born. Sabo was taken from his parents after they were found to have been abusing him. Luffy meets Zoro whos being fostered by Mihawk (Perona is adopted at this point and Mihawk is fighting to adopt Zoro), then he meets Nami who after her adopted mom's death in a car crash is being raised by her adopted dad and Bell-mère's husband) Arlong along with her sister Nojiko (Arlong is extremely controlling and overprotective of the duo because he blames himself for Bell-mère's death because he had an argument with her before the car crash, he does loves the duo but he is super paranoia and worries alot so he has his brothers (his own adopted brothers) watch the girls when hes not around. After that he meets Usopp who was living by himself after his mom's death but gets put into foster care and is being raised by Zeff who agreed to take him in because he felt bad for Usopp and he genuinely cares about him. Zeff introduces the group to his other foster son Sanji (who he has been fighting a long and hard battle to adopt him but Sanji's bio family won't let him and are demanding Sanji back, Zeff threatened to do unspeakable things to him if they (everyone expect for Sanji's sister Reiju) even look at Sanji). Soon they have to take Nami to the hospital because while they were playing with Luffy's uncle Buggy (who is his Uncle Shanks' ex boyfriend but still calls himself Luffy's uncle) and Uncle Buggy's best friend Mr. 3 (everyone calls him that because its his nickname) and some other kids (who include Nami's girlfriend Vivi, Valentine and Valentine's best friend Gem) and Vivi's pet dog Karoo an Irish wolfhound, Luffy got overexcited and accidently scared Karoo who was near Nami and Karoo knocked over Nami who fall and hit her head on a rock. Arlong stopped the game and took Nami and the rest of the group (which includes Vivi and Karoo he approves of Vivi's and Nami's relationship) to the hospital and they meet Dr. Kureha and her adopted son Chopper whos a genius. Nami is fine and only has a bruise and a small cut on her head. Dr. Kureha encourages Chopper to play with the group and be friend with them. He does after much hesitation and they all become good friends. Soon they meet Luffy's mom now dad Crocodile who has recovered from his alcohol addiction and granted visitation rights, Crocodile introduces them to his adopted sister Robin whos Luffy's Aunt and Robin is a famous historical fantasy writer, all of the kids take to Robin immediately and call her Aunty Robin, Luffy refers to Crocodile as his dad who got mpreg (hes confused but hes got the spirit). Then Robin lets them meet her fiancé Franky whos a mechanic(part time) and an genius inventor who they all call Uncle Franky and love him. They were initially off to a bad start because it turned out that he was the one who reported Usopp for living alone but Usopp forgave him because it let him find his place in the world. They are then introduced to Brook who works at local aquamarine and is a scare actor during Halloween and a part time musician , he's Garp's older brother and Luffy's great uncle so they call him Gruncle Brook. Brook has a pet tortoise that he named Laboon and was his best friend's tortoise at first but then his friend died after a long and hard battle with cancer.

They all enjoy spending their days playing together

Oh, I'm not only hearing you, I am listening 0_0

Whitebeard has one of those big and loud homes, where everyone is fighting over which room is occupied and where someone should or shouldn't be. I see them like a "Cheaper By The Dozen" type of thing. Some of them moved out already but they always find a reason to hang around. At first all the kids were unhappy about the arrangement, but then they saw how much love there was to go around.

Whitebeard is the fun dad and Dadan is the strict, overworked and underpaid mom. Maybe they're married for tax reasons and because they're too old to date so they made a "if we're both not married by 40" pact that turned into a "single by 50+" pact. As you said they're not romantically involved, but they share their love for their kids and that's what makes them happy.

At one point Ace is arrested for assault. He tracked down and beat up his uncle - Blackbeard because he stole a family heirloom that cost a hefty amount and sold it off. He was seen as a traitor because it had been in the family for generations and all he cared for was the money.

(He may go to jail for a month and serve public service but he doesn't die in this au because I need their happiness at least sometimes!)

Why do I feel like Garp would take the boys out to the craziest camping trips. Like they'll go one day and two days later Luffy, Ace and Sabo will come back with like, alligator skin, a necklace from shark teeth and some weird-looking rock that turned out to be a meteorite. And when you ask them what happened they'll go "well at first we thought it was weird that we didn't have anything, cuz in the movies they get tents and food and stuff, but grandpa told us real men survive with nothing. We went hunting which was cool though we got a bit worried for a little when that bear attacked grandpa, but it's fine now. Did you know bears are just like big dogs!?" From then on Dadan never let them go camping without her, she kept Garp in check and packed all the food supplies etc.

I feel like Mihawk would be one of those dads that are like "I never knew why people were so obsessed with their stupid kids..." pulls out Perona dressed like a pretty princess and zoro looking like a feral child "until I got a stupid kid myself. I've had these two for not too long but if anything happens to them I will kill everyone in this room and then myself."

I'd like to believe that after the accident with Nami, Arling starts being at least a bit of a better dad.

He never wanted to choose parenthood. Parenthood chose him. And he's a great dad, he plays pretend royal tea parties with Perona and teaches Zoro manners. By the time the child services come to see if he's a fit parent to adopt Zoro they find how much politer and well mannered he is.

Speaking of foster parents, Zeff was fighting so hard for Sanji he spent countless nights trying to help his lawyer, work overtime to have the money to pay him and overall worrying about the kid. Their very first activity after winning the case was a big meal and a movie to which Zeff fell asleep to during the first scene. (The movie was Ratatouille and Sanji loved it. After that he made Zeff buy him a pet rat, who he adored and cooked for little tiny gourmet meals.)

I love that Buggy and his friends still play with the kids. He's the funniest and loudest uncle Luffy could ask for. When Luffy asked why Buggy and Shanks broke up, Buggy said that "Shanks refused to live up to his potential and I couldn't let him do that to himself" to which Luffy said was very reasonable and would take Buggy's side whenever the subject arose. (It was one of the only things that Luffy sided with Buggy about.)

Ohhh yes, Robin is a very famous writer but she writes under an alias to be harder to recognize. Her books are some of the most historically accurate works of fiction that has been writing so most fans speculate that she's a history teacher or professor of sorts. Some of her exes and old friends used to tell her that writing is a waste of time and making it as a writer is near impossible. Her (now) fiance Franky, on the other hand was so excited to hear all about her book ideas. When she (reluctantly) told him she'd want to write his eyes lit up. He didn't even know if she was a published author yet, but he would call her "an artist" and "a genius at work" whenever he'd see her writing on her laptop.

Crocodile was probably so nervous to see Luffy after all this time, worried he wouldn't recognize him and not sure if he'd be accepted by his own kid. But then Luffy hugged him anyway and when Croc explained everything to him Luffy just said "Oh, cool! Like a transformer, my dad's so awesome!"(and then did a little robot movement) which really set Crocodile at ease and even warmed his heart a bit...

When the kids found out it was Franky who reported them, they tried to fight him but then they reasoned with the facts (some slower than others) and it ended up with Usopp running away in tears. Franky chased him down to find him at his mother's grave. They just sat in silence there. Eventually Usopp stood up and told Franky that he forgave him. (Or at least that's how I imagine it ig)

Brook strikes me as the guy who would start playing drinking songs at bars and the next day go do a charity event at some ungodly hour. He absolutely loves kids and thinks they're a bundle of joy (plus they're the best audience, since they're the most honest in their love or hate for music). At first when they start calling him Gruncle Brook he got offended because "I'm not that old, kids, come on!" but he slowly started taking as a fond nickname rather than a reminder of his age.

eras of tumblr i could give hour-long Ted Talks about

(only including eras i participated in, not what i’ve lived through second-handedly. these are what i personally remember seeing on my dash, i’m sure there’s plenty i missed. This is an ongoing list/not fixed/subject to future edits.)

2015 gravity falls 

the rise of sexyman bill cipher 

depravity falls and putting 12 yr old characters in violent guro situations 

alex hirsch worship

billdip discourse

the diehard thirst for Gruncle Ford 

“i want to fuck that dorito”

2015/16 Black Butler

SebaCiel discourse

Grelle discourse (like, i don’t even know how to elaborate, but if you were there you would remember how people were fighting over her characterization in all different directions. Which is funny because, love her or hate her, she is barely even in the show lol)

The needlessly intense sjw vs anti-sjw/ fiction doesn’t effect reality/ shipping fighting

can’t quantify this, but i swear 80% of the fans were ex-hetalia fans 

Black butler 2 being either loved or hated, while book of circus was almost unanimously loved

the Scott Freeman incident...

no one giving a fuck about the female characters

Yana/Jay Michael Tatum worship

2016 Undertale

Sans undertale sexyman rise

the most raw video game soundtrack of all time

papyton

no one agrees how to draw undyne, but we all agree that she’s gay as fuck

(This is a personal anecdote, but i actually made a friend in highschool bc i drew undertale fanart on the board at latin class nd she added to it the next day, i added to it the next day and eventually we met up and it was so adorable)

“get dunked on”

2016-17 hamilton, heathers, great comet, dear evan hansen, be more chill musical theater insanity

rip tumblr user galactibun

The Hamilton craze breathing new life into the 1776 musical fandom

Most bizarre fanfic aus seen on tumblr thus far (hamilton)

The great comet Tony snubs

BMC and DEH blowing up, despite most fans only caring about the characters, totally ignoring the plot.

“Miku binder Thomas Jefferson”

No one giving a fuck about “The Hamilton Mixtape”

Gatekeeping fans who didn’t read war and peace or the ron chernow biography (i don’t think anyone ever gave a shit about the BMC orginal book which is SO FUNNY)

Yaoi take over

The anime fans collective salt over YOI winning anime of the year 2016

Not in this time period, but the Killing Stalking fans despising the ending en mass several years later.

Free! was also huge as the second season concluded not long before, but wasn’t receiving new updated in Realtime like the other three.

honestly? i mostly just remember people drawing some of the most beautiful fan art of the characters and not bothering to follow the plots

2015-2016 steven universe discourse peak craziness 

There are no words, looking back this all feels like a fever dream

Insane fan-theories (as in- even for Tumblr, these theories were very out there)

Pink diamond character derailment

“watching steven universe is the opposite of eating pussy” 

Gemosonas

fusion = sex???

“it’s over isn’t it” single-handedly inspiring some of the most beautiful fan art to come out of the show; "Stronger than you” def inspired much more fan-creations, but they were nowhere near as good imo

That terrible lily peet video that sent a tidal wave of fandom-fighting 

Concrete

Nicki Minaj guest appearance 

the porn avalanche predating the 2018 nsfw ban

My OG account got banned >:( (i never posted porn, tried to email support to no avail, I DID NOT DEVERVE THIS YOU NARCS)

50-50 mix of people posting lewd art and people posting links to find them as they migrated to twitter

“Female presenting nipples”

The return of the citrus scale (orange: PG/G, Lime: PG-13, Lemon: R, Grapefruit: X)

“Too Spicy for Tumblr”

Didn’t even stop the porn bots, mostly just screwed over artists and writers

IMO the peak of user v staff animosity

2020 hannibal

The small but loyal anthony hopkins defenders

Some of the most beautiful creative gore art

The moodboard to web-weaving pipeline

People being surprisingly respectful of fans who only watched the show, or who didn’t read Red Dragon/Silence of the Lambs, or where otherwise not invested in the greater overall Hannibal canon.

(I’m quite salty about this bc I worked at GameStop at this time and had people constantly talking about glitches in casual conversation and I just know most of these bitches were LYING.)

2020/21- Succession blows up

2022 Ghost bc blows up on tiktok, the fandom already sizable on tumblr only goes up from here

[the-babygirl-polls]

Giygas - Mother

Propaganda:

His only canonically appearances are an 8-bit sprite that looks like a stick figure and an incomprehensible red miasma. He has unresolved parental issues. He's at least 60. He's technically a gruncle. He got reminded of his grief one time and had an existential crisis about it. He's my first "I could change him" crush, and I love this asshole so much.

[yellowcry]

Nothing at all

Mabel was worried that her lack of attraction to others was abnormal. Turns out that she wasn't the only one.

Ford and Mabel talking in the night. And a couple of months later she called him to tell about something.

According to clock it was about 3 AM. Pretty much, it was time when kid supposed to sleep, instead of lying on the table in the kitchen.

Ford said the same as he saw Mabel in the kitchen. She didn't answer just sadly looked away.

“Something happened?” Her gruncle asked worriedly as he pushed back his chair and sat next to her.

“I think there's something wrong with me.” Mabel whispered almost unhearable.

Ford's eyes widened. “Who said you so, pumkin?” He slighty pat her spine. “You are perfect.”

“Girls supposed to love boys. Romantically, I mean.” She kept resting her chin on her shoulders.

Stanford frowned. “As I heard from Dipper and Stan, You've got a pretty big amount of crushes during this summer.”

He shuddered as Mable whimpered. She rubbed her eyes with a sweater sleeve. “W-well... I don't actually... love them?” Mable hited table with fists and kept talking before gruncle Ford could actually explain something. “Others just keep told me that falling in love is the best thing that could happen to girl. So I thought that... maybe...” She whimpered again. Ford moved the chair closer and pressed Mabel to his chest. “If I choose a cute boy and keep told myself that I have crush on him, I might actually do it.”

Ford's sweater started to be wet from Mabel's tears. “... And it never worked.” He continiued as his great niece wasn't able to say anything. Sobbing stopped for a moment as Mabel looked up to Ford, eyes still filled with tears. “I know how it feels.”

Saying it out loud felt strange. Ford never told anybody about this problem, he just forgot about it when he graduated from college. But back then he was trying to feel anything. He even stole dad's magazine with naked girls thinking that he would find them actually attractive. And they looked nice. But it was nice in a way like nice scenery. Nothing like doing that strange stuff that adults liked to do. At least, by Stan's words.

“You tried to fall in love?” Mabel asked unsurely.

“Well.” Ford shrugged. “Not really. I actually wanted to love girls, even so I never find them attractive. But I never tried to fall in love on purpose. But, honestly, my only love is anomalies”

Mabel giggled. “Then my true love is sequins.” Her eyes were still wet, but voice became a bit funnier.

“Becides” Ford added patting Mabel's head. “You already love many people.” A little smile appeared on his face. “You love your brother, you love Soos and Wendy with her friends. You love your family and friends. And who said that love supposed to be romantic?”

Mabel laughed. Now the fact that she cried a couple of minutes ago was unbelivable, Ford scratched the back of my head thinking how his great niece was able to change her mood so soon.

“Are you feeling better right now?” Ford asked putting a hand on her shoulder. Mabel gave him a fast nod. “I suppose it's time for somebody to go to sleep. It's past you bedtime.” He smiled.

Mabel crossed her arms resentfully. “Then you will go to sleep to.” She said firmly. “You look like you haven't sleep for days.”

“I have work.” Stanford explained as he stood up and extended his hand to Mabel to help.

Mabel shook her head. “I won't go to sleep unless you will do the same.” She turned away amd closed her eyes.

Ford let out a sigh. With this face expression Mabel looked really simulare to Shermy when he was angry. On other hand, she was his granddaughter, so it probably was a genetic stuff. “Okay, I'll try to sleep a couple of hours.” He wasn't in mood for argument. Becides, a little part of his mind actually understood that he needs some sleep. And as much as Ford hated this thought, it still was true.

Mabel threw her hands up in the air with a victorious facial expression.  She jumped off the chair. “You better to sleep well!” She puted her hand on her hips.

Ford nodded as both of them get out of this room.

****

When Mabel called him, Ford was really suprised. Usually, Mabel always talked eighter to Stanley or to both of them. Still, she always made a phone calls to Stan's number. So at the first moment Ford thoughed that his niece just called by mistake.

“No, no, no!” Mabel assured him. It was pretty suprising. Between both couples of twins there wasn't really need to say that Mabel has closed bond with Stanley, when Dipper were more close to Stanford. “Grunkle Ford, do you remember our conversation?”

Ford scratched his head. “Which one?”

“About love!” Mabel's tone was so light that Ford decided that she actually fall in love for real. “And how both of us bever actually had romantic feelings to anyone?”

Ford nodded weakly, even so it was useless because Mabel couldn't see him. “Well, yes.”

“I find out that it actually was a thing!” She screamed happily. “It's called being aromantic!” Her words began to blend together as she clattered into the phone. “It's like when you don't feel, or feel very little amount of romantic attraction, regarless of people gender. And there's many people like this!”

She kept talking for a while before her energy went down.

“Aromantic.” Ford whispered a word that he just heard, just like he was trying to taste it. He heard about it once or twice, but he never actually thought about this. Mostly because back in Twentieth Century there wasn't much of information about non-hetero relationships. Becides, when Ford was too busy with all of these anomalies in Gravity Falls to think about this. And before he went to this town, he kept telling himself that he just haven't found the right person yet.

According to the fact that he was over sixty years old, there's probably wasn't a right person, actually.

Ford fell on his bed. Or on his brother's bed, since Ford slept on the second floor. His head was full of thoughts. He whispered this word once again. Like if it was a Lifebuoy. A little part of him, that he never understood suddenly started to make the way more sence now. This word felt like something, that Stanford really belonged to. Like a little part of him that he never realized. It just... felt right. And that's all that was matter.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀The President’s Key

August 23 - 8:00 am

Back to Gravity Falls. Finally! Summer is almost over, my birthday is so close and yet so far away, but today I'm coming back. Hopefully forever. I like Piedmont, don't get me wrong, but that one summer at my gruncle Stan's house? I'll never forget it. My whole life is based on that and all the secrets I discovered back then. Okay, okay. I didn't discover them alone, but that's just MY story. 𝘔𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘴? I never want to hear that again in my life! I love Mabel. I truly and deeply love her, but I'm moving to Gravity Falls. I graduated from college w̶h̶o̶s̶e̶ ̶n̶a̶m̶e̶ ̶w̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶m̶e̶a̶n̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶a̶n̶y̶o̶n̶e̶. Now it's my turn. And it's my turn alone. (𝒴𝑜𝓊 𝓌𝑒𝓇𝑒 𝓈𝑜 𝓌𝓇𝑜𝓃𝑔!)

August 23 - 11:30 am. 

My first break since I started my car in the morning. My stomach was so empty I was afraid it would eat itself if I didn't take a break. It's about 7 hours from Piedmont to Gravity Falls, which means I'm halfway there. Still without incident. I'm knocking on wood (𝘮𝘺 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥) that it stays that way. At dinnertime, I decide to take a break at the Golden M in Red Bluff. Never had better chicken nuggets, tbh. But I'm already looking forward to the pancakes at Greasy's Diner. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! 

August 23 - 1:00 pm

F◬🜲☆. As if I had conjured it up, my car had a flat tire. I decided to take another break so Terry could take a break and drink some water. Have I mentioned Terry here before? His full name is Terbium Pines. He's a massive black wolfhound with long fur and deep dark eyes. I found him on one of my unexpected outings and he never left. I think he chose me to be my best fur friend ever. The vet said he's about three years old, but his eyes look much older sometimes, and when I talk to him I occasionally think he really understands what I'm saying, but then he wallows in the dirt and has those puppy eyes that he gets a treat for. I love him. (𝒯𝑒𝓇𝓇𝓎 𝒾𝓈 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓈𝓌𝑒𝑒𝓉𝑒𝓈𝓉!!! ♡)

August 23 - 10:00 pm

What a day! Changing a tire was never this hard. The heat was killing me and Terry barked at every car that went past. Then he wouldn't get back in the car when I tried to drive off. It took me another half hour to get him back in. Crazy guy. We passed a traffic jam and I stopped to help. Luckily no one was hurt, but I took way too long to get back on the road and finally emerged a couple hours ago. Ford helped me with my stuff and now I'm sitting in my old bed in the attic. I wonder if Mabel would be mad if I pimped it out a bit. I guess I'll only know if I ask her. Or I'll just do it (ha ha). ( �� 𝒶𝓂 𝒮𝒪 𝑀𝒜𝒟 𝒶𝓉 𝓎𝑜𝓊!!!)

August 28 - 2:00 pm

Okay, the last couple days have been ridiculous and overwhelming and too much to talk about. Here's the most important info: I found the President's key. I hid it in case Stan or Ford were looking for it and forgot about it for the last few years (literally), but now I have it back in my hands. It opens all doors made before 1877 (𝘮𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘢 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘸𝘰? 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘵, 𝘵𝘣𝘩. 𝘵𝘰-𝘥𝘰: 𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘰𝘳𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵'𝘴 𝘬𝘦𝘺 ⬜ ). Where did I hide it? Oh man, you'll never guess. Mabel is going to kill me. ( 𝒴𝑒𝓈 𝐼 𝒶𝓂! ) Our attic? It's a bit of a mess. ( 𝒜 𝒷𝒾𝓉?! ) I've been doing a bit of redecorating since we were teenagers, the last summer we lived here, and now it's a temple. I found a door in the wall that was locked, of course, but a day later I found the key and - surprisingly - it fit. The whole time I thought that our room in the attic was all that was supposed to be here, though I was so wrong. We never realized there was a whole room next to our beds. The house looks so small from the outside, but I was so wrong this time. Why didn't I realize that the length and width of the house didn't match its rooms!!! I've been so blind. And we've found secret rooms here in the past! 

What, you want to know what was in that room? Boy, that's a topic for another page in this journal. Be careful out there. Maybe you've been watched by something behind your walls. 

But: THE PRESIDENT'S KEY IS BACK! Nothing can stop me now! ( 𝐼 𝒸𝒶𝓃 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝐼 𝓌𝒾𝓁𝓁! )

[little-red-stiles-hood]

So I have started to write a series of connected oneshots about my Tav and her romance with Gale. I am probably posting the first one by the end of the week but before I did that I wanted to explain who my Tav is.

Also I play BG3 as couch coop with my spouse so I should explain his Tav too.

My Tav - Mirhydian the Bard

-Mirhydian is a Strongheart halfling.

- She is a college of Lore bard.

- She is about 32, but she probably tells people she is anywhere from 27 to 36 depending on why she is giving them her age.

-She has red hair with ginger/strawberry blonde highlights. Early game she wears it down in a fancy quaff. Later game she wears it in two low buns for practicality.

- She has tan skin but with tons of dark bronze colored freckles. She is covered in them.

- She has heterochromia. One of her eyes is an autumn red and the other is a soft gold.

- All of the above traits are because her hafling clan, the Isengrim clan, is said have and Azer ancestor.

- Her mom owns an inn and tavern called The Featherd Serpent. She would have been a 1st level bard entertainer and bouncer in that tavern for 80 years had she not been taken.

- She got a scar on her lower lip and on her left brow after the big flight at the end of act 2.

-She is a bit self conscious of the one one on her lip and she licks it alot. She absolutely loves the eyebrow one.

- She loves meat and red wine or mead. She absolutely hates onions and beer.

- Her best friends in camp (other than Gale) are Wyll and Karlach.

- She is fiercely protective of all the companions but especially Lae'zel because she considers her to be a lost kid.

- She calls Gale the ice to her fire.

- She absolutely makes Gale kneel down to kiss her almost every time they kiss. She only makes the trip to him when she can't contain herself.

- She can't wait to meet Tara again when she can get her hands on a couple potions of speak with animal.

My Partner's Tav - Zurri the Ranger

- Zurri is a outlander gloomstalker.

- He is a human with brown hair and blue eyes.

- He is in his late 30s.

- He has a tattoo on his forehead to "act as a focus" for his hunter's mark.

- He was born in Baulder Gate but only lived there until he was a teen then he ran away to the wilds and never really looked back.

- He vaguely knew Mirhydian as a child but only in that he passed through the Serpant's doors once or twice before he fully committed to leaving.

- He would talk to animals even before he learned Speak With Animals and he would waste to much energy casting it all the time until he was able to cast it at will.

- He has a younger sister whose name is also Tara. He also as has a dragonborn "uncle" named Gir. He calls him Gruncle.

- He calls Mirhydian "Half-pint" when he is mad at her. She calls him "nature boy".

- He started studying religious theory in order to impress Shadowheart.

- He forced Astarion into a work out routine with magical steroids because only he can be sneaky. Astarion is now a fighter.

- He hates alcohol because it makes him less in control, but he drinks wine every night with Shadowheart.

I thinks this is all the relevant background info on our tavs that might now get explicitly said in the fics.

[f4nd0m-fun]

So I had a whole bunch of stuff but Tumblr deleted it and wouldn't post so I'm going to try and remember what I wrote.

They probably respond to the revival a la "someone magically trashed our graveyard so hello we're here now" just because I feel like they're all like shits about stuff. Either that or they go full dramatic and flood it with magic themselves so it goes on the news.

I almost feel bad for anyone who sees the echoes. Also, Alfred isn't technically dead but, well, I'm sure with him letting out his ghostliness there's a few things that creep up that even he can't really control. The laughter and eyes like you mentioned, but I love the idea that, sometimes, even before he started letting himself slip, maybe his voice would sound older and wiser than it is as Alfred, something used to enforce his authority over the household, or maybe a little peek of blue skin at certain times. Maybe, if you look at him for just the right split second, you see the Master of Time Himself, but Only if He Allows It. And yeah, he's not Time but it's A Time. He's not the Personification of All Time, just that of Certain Times, maybe even a fragment All Time created to watch over Certain Times for Him.

I feel like Halfas would have something similar, but almost settled into their skin like a birthmark. For Danny, that's the litchenburg scars along his skin, maybe a raw 'spark' of a scar upon his throat. Perhaps he shouldn't even be able to talk because his vocal cords are mutilated, but ectoplasm does what it wants. For Vlad, he has scars from the Ecto Acne, and some burn-like markings faded years ago but never gone. And Jason? He looks like kintsugi almost. Sure, the Lazarus pits patched him up, but there's that inkling of ectoplasm and blood almost visible, with almost Golden scar tissue, almost as reminiscent of the explosion as the dulled burns are.

Oh gods those poor rogues and goons. They're gonna have even more nightmares, especially if Frighty goes all "I am the night" to force Bruce into taking a break because he probably needs one. Almost feel bad for em.

Also, now that Thomas is awake, I can just see Alfred going up to Joker with a gun (that's him limiting himself), popping one, and it's like he was never there. Thomas makes sure he's the first one to find Joker's ghost and just... chains him up for the ghosts of his victims to go crazy on. If he wants to, Jason gets first whack at him. Of course, that also depends on one detail. IE, one HC I had to further explain why they don't kill rogues is basically the equivalent of curse possession, IE if they die someone else has to take their place and we'd Rather deal with an unstable known.

Aww how sweet, they're good friends. I bet Lois joins in of she's allowed too.

I bet much agree with the poor Clark statement. And double on Diana. Like, anyone who knows Bruce will enough can tell that something is going on, even if they don't know exactly what, but they also usually know a bit.

Honestly, that psychic awareness is something I wanted to bring in more. Sure, MM can't exactly tell what being Said, just that there's a lot of Emotions that are flowing, but he's more Aware than most people at least. Plus, if he finds out about the GIW, he'd be as livid as Batman considering what he's gone through. So, Uncle Jonn might be a factor at some point, I dunno.

Oh definitely. Vlad still regrets that he was never the dad he should have been with Ellie, which is part of why he's trying so hard with Danny. He still wanted Danny as his son, but that doesn't mean he doesn't wish he had both of them. Actually, CK probably got mauled after that garlic attempt because all Vlad saw was someone using sauce to target someone he loved/was attached to/wanted to protect.

Oh man yeah. Public appearances and reporters going crazy. After they eventually figure things out, they probably get Clark or Lois to cover the story though. 😂

Gruncle Alan and Grandpa Thomas. Bruce's dad is 'Thomas Alan Wayne' so they go cheeky and swap the middle and first for Frighty. Also, the batkids made a few different helmets/masks that he can wear, not all of them look good but it's a temporary face so it sorta works.

Also, Connie is gonna need like 20 drinks. Preferably the kind that will send him to heaven (or hell, he doesn't really care) for a few hours or days before he has to deal with all of this.

As for liminality...

Dick: Slightly barely stronger than human. Just, imagine this. You're a goon, doing your job, and you notice Nightwing chewing on something. Clearly he must be distracted! Turns out he's teething, because apparently that's what his species does well into his human adulthood, and he's denting cold metal. You can't feel your arm anymore, not even sure it's attached, all you know is Pain. Batman swoops down and decides to check that Nightwing's teeth are okay. They both communicate in that strange grunting static that Ḧ̸̢̳̲̗́͘Ư̴̢̦̞̲̞͎̳̞͛̽̈̑̑̊̓̉̍͋̈̽͠͝R̵̦̞̠̗̠͍̼͍̝̎̈̽̿͐̐̍̃̋̈́͌̀̔̈́̾͝Ṫ̷̩͙͍̤͇̙̩̗̯͊̈̉͆̆̇͑S̷̢͚͖̹̞̫͚̦̤̳̰̗̼͕͇̹͍̈̀͒̑̾ your head. Also, maybe a minor limb detachment, not in full but like 10x more flexible, exorcist worthy even.

Babs: Not sure, tech interface? Or maybe she gets supernatural Sight, something Alfred helps her learn to deal with.

Cass: She becomes more like shadows given life rather than a human raised in them. Yes she's taking lessons from Grandpa and Gruncle. There isn't much more going on though than Batblob, which Bruce seemed to do naturally for years, and a little bit of dampening of people's senses.

Jason: Full on halfa, although still weak as he only got the bare minimum healthy ecto recently. Probably grows into something fire related, I do like the idea of him trying to be cool and balance three names, with the ghost name being Phoenix, or maybe he goes for a name from the classics, dunno what tho.

Tim: Just... minor durability and healing factor please. Kid needs it with how he pushes himself. Probably still spleenless but eh.

Steph: Sleight of hand but worse. Just, you see this figure, you can't seem to look away without a lot of willpower, and yet they still sneak up on you, or do something, but you can never catch them red handed.

Duke: Least liminal, eye shine please.

Damien: Just take his mimicry to the max. Not only is he good at voices but, while he can't change a lot, if you aren't paying attention you're almost sure he was someone else, if not Something else.

I'm not sure about a title but... A Colony of Liminals maybe?

Meme Prompt 2

Thinkin of feral halfa Jason again. No surprise there.

[misteria247]

Okay imagine time since I tormented I mean shared this with some Discord pals teehee.

For this I'm thinking wayy into the future and it's definitely taken on my religion of Pacifica and Fiddleford friendship/mentorship/adopted parent and child because God damnit they deserve the best and it's my blog I do what I want lmao. Okay picture this-

Paz is a bit older. Her and Fiddleford have their father daughter thing. Tate's like an older brother, she's got Dipper (who's she seeing) and Mabel, as her friends. And because she's around people like them, Ford and Stan are essentially like Gruncles to her too. Basically, she's got the whole family thing. One day, her Dipper and Mabel find some tape measuring time machine, and boom Pacifica is sent back to the 80s, where she meets Fidds. But here's the kicker.

It's Fidds pre memory gun.

So he's not completely lost it. Paz unable to really say anything about the future just introduces herself as Paz and vaguely explains how she's stranded in the past. She doesn't say much more on it and Fidds along with Ford agree to help her and it's during this that she sees how her father figure was like. And she sees how happy he was and he's always talking about Tate and he's not weighed down by the horrors of Bill. And it makes Pacifica come to this internal struggle on whether she should warn them about the future or if she should keep quiet about it. Like Paz knows it's risky but she loves these two men and Stan and Dipper and Mabel and Tate and everyone else. She wants them to be happy and not suffer. But also if she does this that means she would possibly lose everything.

She'd lose her dad and brother, she'd lose her boyfriend and her closest friends. She'd lose Ford and Stan which she's begun to see as her own uncles. She'd lose her family if she does this. But Paz can't find any real cons, because she sees herself extendable because of her upbringing. Not realizing that if these people were there they'd fight tooth and nail to stop her because to them she's not worth the risk of possible happiness in the past. And Fidds in all of this he's suspicious of Paz, because she does machinery in a way that only he personally does and he's catching on that this teen might be someone important to him and Ford in the future. Even briefly entertained that she's his and Emma May's second child before shutting it down because she doesn't look anything like them. But everything she does, everything she says, just screams Mcgucket.

Meanwhile, while Paz and Past Fidds are going through a crisis, the present family is desperately trying to get her back. Unaware that their current time they're living could end with just a few short words from Paz. The entire situation is a dire one, especially when a certain triangle is more than willing to do whatever it takes to make his plans happen. And Pacifica is more than willing to do something drastic to protect the family she's somehow gained through the years.

[unalivejournal]

oh i am dying to hear your gravityfallsnatural thoughts and who is who (gruncle bobby???)

THANK U FOR LETTING ME UNLEASH THE FLOODGATES OK SO this got long i’m sorry

gravityfallsnatural.....

there’s the obvious one where sam and dean are dipper and mabel staying with their weird uncle bobby for the summer

i actually don’t have many ideas for this one it’s just cute :)

the shows are pretty similar so i don’t think a lot would change for this one? except ofc for the fact that sam and dean are 12 not 30

very much preseries stuff, sam and dean are clearly traumatized from john and bobby is reluctant to take care of them at first but they’re sweet kids and they soften their uncle bobby’s stone cold heart

before leaving for their trip, sam stole one of johns mysterious journals that he never let sam and dean touch (it’s one from like 15 years ago so he doesn’t realize it’s missing okay just go with it for the plot) and it’s the one that documents his experience with gravity falls

this is the journal they use to solve the mysteries of the town instead of journal #3 bc that one comes in later.. 😏

then there’s the other one where spn x gravity falls meets like. (s4ish)

probably in the headhunters episode because spn and gf both have an evil wax museum ep so it’s like

sam and dean are hunting the wax museum that comes to life in nowhereville oregon and dipper and mabel drag themselves along with them even though they try to keep the kids out of it

dipper and sam connect instantly because they’re so similar to each other but not so much dipper and dean bc dipper reminds dean too much of the innocent kid he wishes he could’ve been

however dean and mabel get along surprisingly well even though sam is mabels favorite

(sam lets her put clips in his hair)

anyway after the hunt they plan to leave but end up getting caught up in the town after hearing news about gideon, who claims to be a psychic faith healer but is actually working with bill cipher in trade to help bill start the apocalypse somehow

then castiel shows up and he’s like “the angels have been keeping tabs on this town for a while now due to the absurd number of anomalies that occur. however, now there’s something cosmic happening right as we speak” SO it’s like kripke apocalypse kind of but in oregon

grunkle stan thinks cas is really funny and takes him gambling

AND FINALLY MY FAV AU which technically is a sequel to the first one w grunkle bobby. (season 9ish)

it’s like ~20-25 years into the future and deans taken over the shack. claire and jack are the siblings that end up getting sent to stay with him for the summer

(btw i’m bending some ages here but the other teenagers like kevin, kaia, ben, krissy, patience, alex, etc play the roles of wendy, her friends, candy, grenda) (kevin is wendy)

claire and jack havent met before this! they’re both “troubled” kids from different sides of the family. jack is 14 and claire is 16

nobody is particularly happy about the situation at first. their uncle dean is cranky, closed off, and is not in any way fit to take care of two teenagers. claire thinks of the entire thing as some sort of alternative punishment instead of being sent to juvenile detention and jack is bummed that his entire summer is gonna be spent with two mopes when he was looking forward to making memories with his new family members

then claire finds journal number three in the forest and Claire and Jack’s Mystery Solving begins

cas is human at this point and he’s the shack’s handyman (like soos but he’s. not soos at all do u understand what i mean)

him and dean aren’t together yet but they’re very much pining and they do get together by the end of it

claire and jack love cas and cas loves them! he’s kind of awkward but doesn’t have many social hang ups which jack appreciates, and claire doesn’t like him at first but they end up connecting over the course of the story because cas is the only one who will admit to her that she’s right about the supernatural phenomenons in gravity falls

(OK SKIPPING OVER SO MUCH BC I COULD LITERALLY WRITE A NOVEL ON THIS BUT I WONT FOR YOUR SAKE)

ok and SAM. sam is a combination of mcgucket and ford right

basically he created the memory removing contraption to cope with his season 7 hell trauma and ends up forming the society of the blind eye in order to help keep people in gravity falls oblivious to the pain of the real world

during this time he gets really into discovering where monsters come from (bc eve doesn’t exist in this au i guess)

he finds out that they escape through a rift to an alternate reality and starts to create a machine in order to close that rift (think s8 closing the gates of hell trials type of thing)

following gf canon, he ends up getting stuck in the alternate reality as the rift closes and dean dedicates the next couple of decades trying to get him back. he eventually gets him back around the same events of s2 beginning (i haven’t watched gravity falls chronologically in 5 years so my memory is hazy around all of this sorry)

AND YEAH OKAY IM STOPPING i could literally elaborate so much more on everything but i’m cutting myself off just know that gravityfallsnatural is all i think about every day

[dreamsmp-au-ideas]

(LF falls) so in The Inconveniencing, (episode where Dipper, Mabel & Wendy's friends meet ghosts in the convenience store) it could be Tommy, Tubbo, Quackity, Fundy, Niki and some others to fill the teen group. Tommy pretends to be a teen, Tubbo gets high on blue-dip instead of smile-dip, Tommy ends up saving the group by singing jump in the cadillac (lamby dance equivalent).

If this was an actual show then the Boss Mabel episode would be called Tubboss. This is non-negotiable /j. Anyway Schlatt challenges Tubbo to run the shack and goes on a vacation to a game show called love or host. Meanwhile under Tubbo's leadership the mystery hacks go through an altered and significantly less traumatic version of Tubbo's presidency.

Assuming Schlatt loses his memories in the finale, the gang lead him to the broken down shack and Tubbo desperately tries to get his gruncle to remember anything, anything. Then Henry shows up and Schlatt starts yelling about how "didn't I tell Tommy not to bring the dumb cow inside the shack?"

Fundy and Wilbur in the bunker is excellent, but I can't decide which of the two the shape shifter would pretend to be, and which one would cry over the other's "dead body". Both scenarios have great angst potential.

(Also LF falls Fundy and Wil looking at their canon selfs and how fucked their relationship is, getting freaked out and just taking some time to hang out and talk more)

-🌷

Oh god Tubbo please don’t try blue-dip. Oh god he’s going to hallucinate some weird shit. Tommy singing jump in cadiilac is hilarious.

Tubbo running the shack while Schlatt goes on the Love or Host game show? Hilarious on both sides. The exile for Tommy is just him in the time-out corner after getting into a fist-fight with George somehow.

Henry being one of the triggers is hilarious and would cause everyone so much relief.

Oh god the bunker episode. Oh jeez. On one hand we get Fundy “dying” and then Wilbur is distraught because he lost another family member and never ever fixing things up between them. On the other hand we get Wilbur “dying” and Fundy just broken because they were actually talking about things and it seemed like before and now Wilbur’s dead.

Wilbur and Fundy spending more time to hang out and talk after looking at their canon selves is perfect.

The third mystery book

》Pairing: Mystery Shack Worker!Chan x Reader 

》Genre: Fluff, mystery au 

》Summary: Visiting Gravity Falls once again, you see Chan again that you have had a crush on since last summer. However, neither of you expected to find something like this...

》Word count: 1.4k

》Notes/Warnings: None. I am sorry this is so bad ahhh😅

This is part of my collab with @woozisnoots​ which is here. Make sure to check all of the writers!!! 

🦦🦦🦦🦦🦦

The baby blue sky is littered with white, puffy clouds that radiate joy, ready to travel across the atmosphere as the sun warms your skin. The forest floor is woven with ancient tree roots, speckles of light that filter through the canopy light up the familiar trail. You wonder how many hues of green there are alone in a single tree as they stretch upwards towards the light. Gravity Falls always has this magical aura surrounding it, full of mysteries ready to be discovered. It felt like a breath of fresh air compared to being in the city. It was freeing, not being bombarded by the crowded streets, nor feeling small under the buildings that tower over you. 

You know you’re at your destination when you see the two totem poles that rise from the ground, multiple designs carved into the wood. At the very top owls sit, splashed with colour that decorates them bright and bold.

The floor vibrates as the sound of screaming comes from behind you, causing you to stop your steps to turn around. The white golf cart speeds towards you, two unrecognisable people sitting in the front, waving their arms as they get closer. Your eyes widen as you run out of the way, the cart rushing past you as the two boys scream, the cart swaying side to side as they refuse to slow down, getting closer to the mystery shack before they disappear around the back. Shaking your head, you go back onto the path where the tire tracks are not indented into the mud. At least you won’t get lost now. 

As you get closer, you see the multiple wooden signs that are planted into the soil; messages such as ‘no refunds’, ‘mystery shack this way’. Your worn out shoes lead you on the path towards the familiar shack where the wooden planks hold it together and the roof sits high and pointy. 

The bell on the door rings as you step through, the old flooring creaking under your feet. A smile makes its way onto your face unconsciously as you look around at all of the souvenirs that are set up, all random and mismatched. You missed this. The inconsistency of things, how everything is so unexpected. Looking around, you find that it’s empty apart from you and you wonder if the boy from last year still works here. 

Voices are muffled by the door but you still jump when the door is swung open and the bell rings aggressively. Two boys stand there, muddy and hair windswept as they practically shout at one another, “no that was your fault!” 

“Uhm excuse me? I had to drive that stupid thing thank you very much!” 

A cough comes from the door on the other side of the shack, from next to you, “Soonyoung, Dokyeom what are you doing? Why do you look like that?” he whines, walking closer to the boys who are quite a bit taller than him. The shorter boy continues to talk whilst you make eye contact with the one with purple hair makes eye contact with you, a small smirk making its way onto his face. As you look closer at them, you begin to release that they seem vaguely familiar. Disregarding how the younger boy continues to berate them, your voice speaks without our permission, “Soonyoung? Dokyeom?”  

All three boys look at you in shock, and you can’t help but stare back at the very very familiar shorter boy, “Chan?” you question. 

Soonyoung laughs as he bound over to you, muddy footprints staining the wooden floor as he gets closer to you and shaking you by your shoulders, “Y/n!!! You came again! Has it already been one year??” his voice gets higher pitched as he speaks. In the corner of your eye you see Dokyeom follow him as he wraps his arms around, both of them inabiliying you to move, “It doesn’t feel like a year. Chan here wouldn’t stop talking about you. Oh, how I wish y/n was here. Oh why can’t she live here, or what about if I move there” Dokyeom mimics Chan's voice in your ear, his sunshine smile never leaving his face. 

Chan’s ears bloom a reddish hue as he smiles embarrassedly, waving at you. When the bell rings for the third time, all four of you watch as a short young man walks in, his black hair falling in front of his eyes. You watch as Hoshi’s eyes widen as an even wider smile makes its way onto his face as he sets his eyes on the boy that walks in. Squished in between the two boys you hear Dokyeom aggressively whisper, “Look, Hoshi I know you’re going through your boyfriend phase but calm down, you’re going to scare the poor boy away.” 

You smile awkwardly as the young boy's eyes fall on all four of you, confusion written on his face. You notice the way he lingers his eyes on Hoshi for a little longer before you're dragged along by someone holding onto your shirt, making both of the boy's arms fall from you, though they are both too busy whispering. 

Turning around, you find the suspect who dragged you away. “Sorry for that, Hoshi has a crush on the boy that walks in, Jihoon I think it is.” Chan says, whilst scratching the back of his neck, his eyes avoiding yours. 

“Anyways, I was wondering if you wanted to go on a - uh. Uhm da-walk with me?” He stutters over his words as you drown out the noise of the three behind you. A bright smile makes its way on your face at his words, you’ve had a crush on him since last year, when you came. You didn’t think you’d see him again, so of course you were going to take every chance you get. 

Nodding, you grab his fidgeting hands in yours, “I would love to go on a walk with you.”

🦦🦦🦦🦦🦦

Multiple stands line the forest floor, each with bright colours that reflect the shimmering light of the sun as it starts to set. With only a handful of people, it feels like it’s just you and Chan as you look around the fair; a pretzel in the shape of a question mark in your hand. 

A familiar face catches your eyes, “Is that gruncle stan?” you ask, pointing to where he stands next to one of the fair games, trying to encourage people to come and play. “Yeah, the game is rigged so no one can play.” You laugh a little, remembering how cheap he is.  

His hand brushes up against yours, before you grab his hand in yours, not wanting to let this opportunity go to waste. In the corner of your eye, you see his face form into shock as he looks at you and a small smile settles on his face. 

The night lights of the fair light up and you know that Chan will have to go back to his job soon. Both of you pause, to look up at the sky that sets in hues of pinks and oranges that reflect on his face, making him glow more than he did before. Losing your footing, you stumble backwards, Chan reaching out to catch you, but it’s too late before your back hits the tree behind you. A metal bang resonates throughout the forest, but you know that it definitely didn’t come from. Both of you look shocked for a second before you notice something strange on the floor next to Chan’s foot, “W-what is that?” 

Turning around he crouches down, an outline of a box now prominent and sticking slightly up from the ground, “It can’t be a door right?” you question, joining him on the floor. Chan shruggs before trying to pry it open, his fingers scratching at the edges of the outline. Spiders crawl around, hiding from the exposed light as dust rises from the hole. Reaching in, Chan picks up the singular book that lays there, a golden hand sketched onto the front and a number 3 that lies in the middle of its palm.

Slowly, he turns the pages to find diagrams and entries of creatures. Notes upon notes of supernatural beings and writings that are drawn all over the pages, when one particular page catches his eyes. “It’s hard to believe it has been 6 years since I began researching the strange and wondrous secrets of gravity falls, Oregon. Unfortunately, my suspicions were correct, I am being watched. I must hide this before he finds it. Remember - In gravity falls there is no one you can trust”

Weird Uncles Ceasar and Wammu give me life

I have a different ending in mind for this AU but also I’m going to fucking indulge because why the fuck not

Wamuu is the weird uncle with no concept of how human babies work. He means well but he’s a gargantuan pillar man so he accidentally endangers Holly on several occasions. By the time Jotaro comes around he has a better idea of human babies, but he still likes to do crazy stuff with little Joot.

Since Caesar’s more human he’s less likely to do crazy stuff with the kids BUT he still takes them on adventures and stuff. Jotaro loved spending time with gruncle Caesar as a kid.

In fact, now that I think about it, Jotaro’s stand reminds me of the pillar men- in this AU that’s because he looked up to Caesar as a kid and it inspired Star Platinum’s appearance. As much as Jotaro hates to admit it, it’s true.

Also pillar men can see stands with their vision- neither Wamuu nor Caesar develop stands but their enhanced vision can pick up on stands. Why? Because I said so that’s why

[secret-engima]

In your TttW-verse, things go... very much not according to Bahamut‘s Plan, so... My ask would be: What are Noctis and Co like in this Verse? How different would especially Noctis be, what with being the son of two Galahdian Vitae (who also part-time as King and Queen of Lucis).

Hmmm, mostly in character? But just- wilder and more Galahdian.

-Noctis is actually taken on by Ardyn as an apprentice of sorts because Fellow Chosen, adores his Gruncle to no end. Very snarky and warptastic, does not run into the marilith so is actually VERY active and outdoorsy but also very catlike in that he will totally flop over and nap if sitting down in a sunny warm spot for more than 10 seconds.

-Still loves fishing.

-Is the Warp bby of the group. Has been warping since he was 2-3 and would rather warp over to the out of reach tv remote and knock everything over than use the legs evolution gave him and walk five steps over to it.

-Can, will, and has thrown hands with nobles he doesn’t like because this boy is 1000% his mother’s son.

-Challenged for the Trial at 14 like his Uncle Cor. When everyone said “no, you have to wait” this boy pouted for all of two hours before convincing Gladio to help him take the Trial early by hiking out into the Jungle with him.

-That lasted less than a day before the Pride itself dragged him and Gladio back home like naughty kittens because They Know that Noct is too young and Gladio has already passed his Trial and they Are Not Supposed To Be Out Here Yet.

-Prompto is adopted straight up by Cor after he busts bby Prom out of the Nif lab. While all Galahd gears up to Wipe Niflheim Off the Face of the Earth (because of that Law I mentioned in another HC about all the Clans turning on people who murder kids, this goes even further than Kinslayer LCs and they WON’T stand for it) Cor brings home bby Prompto and it just- “Mine. My bby now.”

-Consider Galahd’s culture norms nobody bat an eye on Cor adopting the bby Prom. They just want to know who gets first dibs on babysitting.

-Prompto grows up WAY more confident in himself. Still Sunshine Boi, still scared of the dark/enclosed spaces/heights but is 100% more down for the wilderness and Thrives under Galahd teachings.

-Assuming Cor is married by this point, that means Prom grows up with 2 moms. 1 is Cor’s wife. The other is his Coeurl. It is really no surprise that Prompto figure out how to purr at like- age 5.

-Still loves his camera. Gets along with the Canere Clan kids like a house on fire.

-Magic given to him at age 2 by Cor’s wife with the assumption that someday she will retract it and Noctis will give it instead. Stealth bby. Prompto once managed to somehow disappear for 5 hours, driving Cor, his wife, the Coeurl, and everyone in a two mile radius UTTERLY INSANE until the Coeurl finally tracked him down ... in his crib. Where he’d been. For the last five hours. Three of those hours have been spent peacefully napping after he fell asleep in the middle of playing hide and seek with his dad (that he did not tell Cor about ahead of time because Toddler Brain)

-Has known Noct since they were tiny bbys and consider each other literal siblings (picture teeny 5-ish yr old Noct and Prom clumsily trying to braid sibling braids into each other’s hair and not managing it because TINY CHILDREN while Regis and Cor both quietly die from cuteness in the corner).

-Gladio. Clarus didn’t ... MEAN for his kid to grow up Very Feral it just kinda happened because Galahdians and Cor. This guy gets along WAYYYY too well with the Bellum kids for Clarus’s sanity but he’s also doggedly loyal and thriving in the outdoor jungle environment so....

-Juno is surprisingly Chill with having her kids be brainwashed by Galahdians. Even if she herself is only peripherally part of the culture via Exposure. Then again she gets along SPLENDIDLY with Cor’s wife and Aulea so...

-Met Noct when Noct was born and, in true Amicitia and Bellum fashion, went- MINE and actually tried to Throw Hands with the nurses because YOU AREN’T CLAN, GET AWAY FROM MY BBY BROTHER. All of the nurses who WERE in fact Ostium thank you just patted his head and went about their tasks with a three year old chasing them around screeching.

-This Gladio never criticized Noctis as spoiled, he IS the one who spoils Noct. He is determined to be the Best Big Bro Ever and the impulse only gets worse when Prompto and then later Iris arrive.

-Gladio is not born with magic but he is given it by Noct when Noct is like- 7. Gladio immediately becomes a Shield bby. He can and will spam shield spells for any reason, any time. Noctis uses Gladio’s shields as a slide. Prom likes mushing his face against them for the tingly feeling.

-Ignis is the group Ostium, but also the group Sane Man. Was inducted the latest into Galahd culture at age ... 10-ish when it became clear that Noct, Prom, and Gladio all Needed A Handler and there were not Ostium children currently available for the job.

-Thinks they are all Nuts. And will think that to the day he dies.

-But he’s right there with them so he guess’s he’s nuts too.

-Actually was the Problem Relationship rather than Gladio in this Au because he was trying to be Proper Servant Of the Prince and Noct kept trying to treat him like Clan and Sibling. Ignis thought Noctis was reckless and spoiled and wild and Noctis thought Ignis needed surgery to get the stick out of his butt.

-Then Noct when on an Adventure without Prom and Gladio for whatever reason and met a Scary Beast and Ignis came hurtling out of the brush, glasses askew and screeching like a banshee. Successfully scared off the beastie with Sheer Spite and Desperation. Noctis spent the trip back crying into Ignis’s shoulder and bonding magically to him. Ignis made it all the way back to the frantic village before bursting into tears as well.

-Loves cooking. Loves learning Galahd dishes. Its the first thing he actually likes about this jungle place he got dragged off to. Also promising Noctis food is basically his go-to method to get this Warptastic child to SIT DOWN FOR FIFTEEN SECONDS and do his homework or whatever.

-Ostium take one look at this frazzled, exasperated child and went “Ohhhh so THIS is what the Ulrics feel like when finding a new LC stray. This is our child now. Ostium soul in the wrong bloodline. We shall fix that with a controlled shock adoption.”

-Ignis has no idea why he needs to be adopted by the Ostium but the King is saying to go with it so okay.

-Being adopted by the Ostium proves instantly worth it because they have INSIDER TIPS on handling Warptastic morons and they have healing techniques they are willing to share even if he doesn’t have Oracle magic.

-Still does his best to convince Noct to Not Throw Hands with the nobles all the time.

-Gets into a lot of fights with Gladio over Throwing Hands on Noct’s Behalf.

-Thinks Prom is the perfect child until Prom accidentally Stealths into the kitchen and gives Ignis a heart attack. Then Prom is the Sneaky Child.

-Ends up the Elemency bby of the group. Can and will Set Everything On Fire when pushed far enough.

-Probably ends up Bewildered and Courted at age 18 by a spitfire Altius girl (Crowe maybe?) because all the Clans think Ignis is Amazing™ for handling the Chocobros as well as he does.

Bumblebabies Profiles #1

Nisshoku (Nis) Xiao Long-Belladonna

Oldest child of three

Hair: Black that fades into gold near the ends, thick, and wild. She also has a little ahoge, too. Something she is quite proud of.

Eyes: Violet

Gender: Female

Race: Faunus

Physical Faunus Trait: Black cat ears with golden tips

Personality: Nis is a lot like Yang by being compassionate, warm, and friendly. But, she’s also too cocky and self-assured with herself. She also gets cranky sometimes when things don’t go her way, something she struggles with to this day. She also has a somewhat nasty temper, trying her best to control her temper most of the time. She can also be incredibly indecisive at times.

Appearance: While sharing a similar personality, she also looks a lot like her, too. They have most of the same facial features and expressions. But, Nis is slimmer than her mother.

Occupation: Student at Beacon Academy

History: Nisshoku Xiao Long-Belladonna is the oldest daughter of Yang Xiao Long and Blake Belladonna. Born on the island of Patch, Nis practically grew up a sheltered life. Well, as sheltered as she could be with her parents being Huntresses. There weren’t many Grimm to worry about with Patch, mostly because the island had such a small population. And if Grimm did happen to appear, her mother’s kept them at bay.

Nis was kind of a trouble-maker once she started walking and talking. Getting it to stuff she shouldn’t, saying things she shouldn’t (Thanks, Blake), and just all around mischevious little brat. That changed a little bit when her little sister, Jin, came into the picture when she was around 18-months-old. She still was a little gremlin, but wanted to be “the best big sister in the history of sisters” (it was mostly gibberish, but Blake and Yang were able to decipher most of it) and tried to bring Jin everywhere with her and teach her everything. She even tried to teach her how to walk... when she was three months old. That endeavor didn’t last long after she was told that Jin was too little to be able to do such a thing.

Her and Jin became thick as thieves once the younger of the two became old enough to finally walk and they caused trouble together. One of their little adventures led to a battle with an anthill after Nis learned her baby sister had been bitten by an ant. 

...The battle ended with Nis getting bitten by a few as well, the poor thing.

At the age of 6, Nis’ baby brother, Yin, was born. (It’s a coincidence that his and Jin’s name rhyme). Nis, bigger and more independent, tried to carry him around on her and Jin’s adventures, much to her parents' amusement.

Her mothers and siblings aren’t the only people she admires. Nis admires her aunts, too. She thinks both Ruby and Weiss are cool. Ruby tends to visit a lot for family dinner if she isn’t on a mission and always has amazing stories to tell (though, Yang and Blake’s stories are way better in her opinion) and giving all three of them gifts. Weiss doesn’t visit as much, being stuck in Atlas to take care of the SDC, though she’d like to. But, she always takes them out on shopping sprees or for ice cream or for just for an outing so she can spend time with them when she does visit.

She also loves visiting her grandparents. She loves her Papa Tai’s sense of humor and loves going swimming with Granpa Ghira and Granma Kali when she visits Menagerie. She also likes listening to her Granpa talk about politics with her. Even if she doesn’t understand it much and probably wouldn’t do it herself.

She doesn’t know much about Raven, mostly because Yang doesn’t talk about her much, but wishes she could meet Summer from her mother’s stories.

Her “Gruncle Qrow” as she jokingly calls him is her favorite Uncle besides Jaune, who she finds very funny, and she loves to hang around him even if he’s afraid his semblance will get her hurt.

When Nis was old enough, Blake started teaching her how to fight, much to Yang’s concern when you consider Nis’ energy. She’s adopted a lot of Blake’s fighting style because of this.

When she turned 14, she applied for Coquina Oscura. She always felt as if Vacuo was the best fit for her because of her personality. While both Blake and Yang feared for their daughter, they didn’t try and stop her and she headed off. After a while, she realized that she didn’t like as much and missed her family too much. So, transferred to Signal and moved back to Patch. She was a good student, the Headmaster has noted.

After graduating from Signal, she decided to try Vacuo one last time before again moving back to Vale and attending Beacon where she is now currently a third-year student.

Meet The Parents

Written by @jkl-fff, illustrated by me

————————————————————————————————

Bill, meticulously arranging props in front of laptop: … Okay, that looks enough like organization getting unintentionally messy … [puts cotton balls in cheeks to make them rounder, straightens tie, puts on stolen glasses, picks up pen] And now, to wait for the skyelp to come through! [bends over “homework” as if dutifully studying … holds exact pose for over 5 minutes while quivering with excitement]

*laptop chimes as skyelp comes online*

Dipper, excitedly: Will? You there? I’m here with Mom and— [registers costume (especially new additions of sweater vest, tie, and glasses) and gasps]

Bill, beaming and voice-cracking: Dippy!

Dipper, breathlessly happy: … h-hey there …

Ms. Pines, squealing softly to her husband: My gosh, he’s so cute!

Mr. Pines, just as softly and trying not to laugh: He looks like a tiny, Irish accountant. Like he’s balancing the ledgers for the Leprechaun King.

Ms. Pines: I know! I just wanna pat his chubby, little cheeks and put a pencil behind his ear!

Dipper, blushing: M-Mom! Dad! Don’t embarrass me with B-Will! [clearing throat] Um, Will. This is m-my Mom and Dad.

Bill, dripping with wholesome enthusiasm: Pleased to meecha, Ms. and Mr. Pines! I’m William Corduroy, but you can call me Will. Or even (ugh) Willy, if you like.

Ms. Pines: Well, Willy, it is sooo nice to finally meet you!

Mr. Pines, sternly: What are your intentions with my son? [gets smacked by wife while son groans] What? C’mon, I had to ask it at least once. I’m a dad!

Bill: My intentions? [flashes through everything he’s imagined doing with Dipper since the twins had to go home … it’s pretty wild; blushes; starts to sweat] hhh … HOLD HANDS! MAYBE KISS FACE! CH-CHERISH! [gestures helplessly at Dipper] I mean, look at him! What else could anyone intend with him?!

Ms. Pines and Dipper: D’awww!

Mr. Pines, still sternly: You tell me. What else do you intend?

Dipper, burying face in hands: Oh, Moses, Dad …

Ms. Pines: Dear, stop, you’re making the poor boys nervous. And teenage boys already sweat enough as it is. Just look at Dipper.

Dipper: Mom!

Ms. Pines, insistently: We can have a talk about … safety and responsibility later. [Bill and Dipper exchange a horrified look] Right now, we’re here to get to know Dipper’s little boyfriend. So stop acting out clichés for 5 minutes, please. Now, Willy … um … How’s your day been? What’ve you been up to?

Bill, relaxing visibly as things go back on script: Oh, y’know. Same old, same old. School. Now I’m just here at the library, gettin’ my homework done for the weekend. [gestures at prop “homework” like a good student] Sorry I couldn’t do this at home where you could meet my dad, but we don’t have a computer. If you can believe that. It’s also why I’m still wearin’ these school clothes.

Dipper, confused: School clothes? Gravity Falls schools don’t require uniforms. They’re public.

Bill: Oh, well … Today was … special.

Dipper: Did you … dress up just to impress my parents?

Bill, a little defensively: Golly, I just wanted to make a good first impression! So your folks’ll, y’know … like me. And let us keep being together.

Ms. Pines, charmed: Oh, don’t worry, Willy. It worked; I think you look absolutely darling!

Bill: Gee, thanks! I can see where Dippy gets his sweet personality!

Ms. Pines: Oh, you!

Mr. Pines, rolling eyes: Okay, honey, dial back the falling for cheesy compliments. Anyway, Will, what do you like to study?

Bill: Oh, I really like math. Especially … trigonometry.

Dipper, snorting: Pff! Seriously? Oh, um, inside joke.

Bill: Perpendicular.

Dipper: Hahaha! C’mon, man, be serious!

Bill: Let’s see … I also like psychology. Dream analysis is fun, ‘cause then I getta tell people that, like, I’m the boy of their dreams … analysis! At least, I getta tell Dipper that.

Mr. Pines, snorting: Okay, I’ll give you points for that one, kid. Dad Joke level of corniness. 6.5/10.

Bill, grinning: Gee, thanks!

Mr. Pines: You getting good grades in math and psychology?

Bill, playing at modesty: Oh, golly, sir. I don’t wanna brag … But it is easier to work hard when it’s fun, y’know? Unlike the way they do history classes here.

Mr. Pines: Boring teachers?

Bill: Yeah. Plus, they’re complete schills for the conservative military-industrial complex. It’s bad propaganda done borin’ly.

Mr. Pines, perking up: What makes you say that?

Bill: Oh, the usual. The don’t even teach that Ben Franklin was secretly Gwen Franklin, that JFK was killed by mobsters from the future to keep him from becomin’ a robo-dictator, and that Ronald Reagan was a mind-controlled puppet put in power by a conspiracy of billionaires to keep colonizin’ other countries for their resources and essentially slave labor.

Mr. Pines: Ugh! Tell me about it! And it’s all because they want to keep the populace uninformed and easy to pacify.

Bill, defiantly: But it’s not gonna work on me! Or Dippy! We do our own historical research and stick it to the man!

Mr. Pines: Boo-yeah! Tear down corporate capitalism! [turns to wife] Okay, I like this kid.

Bill: I can see where Dipper gets his keen judgment of character. Along with his striking good looks.

Mr. Pines: Oh, go on!

*Dipper gives bill a secret thumbs-up*

Ms. Pines, smirking: Okay, now who has to dial back the falling for cheesy compliments? [turns back to Bill] So, math and psychology and rebellious history study … Given any thought to what you’d like to do with those when you grow up?

Bill, feigning thoughtfulness: I … think … I’d … like to make video games. Coding and design and such. But ones that make players think and be creative.

Ms. Pines, impressed: Really? Has Dipper told you that’s the kind of work I do?

Bill: What? No! Gosh, Dippy, why’d you never tell me! That’s just swell, ma’am! What kind?

Ms. Pines: Indie games, so there’s a lot of side-scrolling and retro RPG elements—very basic gaming elements— but sooo much more heart. And, like, artistic integrity. The kinda stuff that really touches people.

Bill, starry-eyed: That’s the kinda stuff I wanna make!

Ms. Pines: It’s not easy … but it’s worth it. So, how’d you and Dipper meet? When’d you start dat—

Mr. Pines: Wait, sorry, hold up. Is that a freakin’ skull? [points at shelf]

Bill, genuinely surprised: What? [turns, has to take off glasses to actually see] Well, gosh, it looks like it is.

Dipper, mouthing silently: Why in the 79 hells would you even put that there?!

Bill, honestly: I’m honestly not sure why the library’d have that. I didn’t even notice it.

Mr. Pines: Might wanna get your prescription checked, kiddo.

Bill: They’re reading glasses, so …

Dipper, mouthing silently: Where’d you even … ARE THOSE GRUNCLE FORD’S?!

———

[Meanwhile, back at the Shack, Ford, stumbling around all squint-eyed: Ah, Stan, there you are! Have you seen my glasses?

Sascrotch, standing mutely like a taxidermied figure: …

Ford: It’s the darndest thing. I’d swear I set them on the end table when I laid down to take a nap, but couldn’t find them when I woke up. Of course, I’m not having much luck finding my glasses without my glasses.

Sascrotch: …

Ford: What? Oh, am I still getting the silent treatment for saying you’re too old to have hair that long?

Sascrotch: …

Ford, indignantly turning away: Fine, who needs you anyway? I’d find them without your hel—

Ford, tripping: AAA!

Ford, lying flat on his face: … I’m alright!]

———-

Bill, continuing as if to the Dad, but actually to Dipper: It’s fine. Don’t worry about it. [goes and puts a book in front of the skull] There! Problem solved!

Mr. Pines: Yeah, that’s much bet … Is that The Necronomicon?!

Bill, genuinely surprised again: … Huh. Looks like it is. [picks it up, pages through it … shakes head] Nah, it’s just The Nockoffronomicon. You can tell ‘cause it doesn’t mention Shaggy or even Bob. And instead of Cthulhu, it’s dedicated to Cthhula. [puts different book in front of skull] The best dancer among the Elder Gods, am I right?

Mr. Pines: Heh … 7/10 for that one.

Bill: Gee, thanks! Anyway, um … D’you mind if I tell ‘em, Dippy? You’re sure it’s okay? [pretending to get bashful] So, um … Dippy used to have a crush on my big sis, Wendy. And ‘cause she works at the Shack, they’d be, like, hanging out together a lot. He even came over to the house a few times. And, um, naturally I had a crush on him from the get go, ‘cause just look at him! Who wouldn’t?

Dipper, blushing: Ah, jeez …

Ms. Pines: D’awww!

Mr. Pines, grudgingly: D’awww …

Bill, making himself grin and blush wholesomely: So I started coming along to hang out. Then, before I knew it, it was just us hanging out alone together. And we were exploring the woods one day when we found some wild mistletoe—golly, I told him, “That’s wild mistletoe. That’s what it looks like in the wild.” and then he said … No, he stepped under it first, then he said, “Guess we gotta kiss now.”—and so we kissed.

Mr. Pines, slapping his son on the back: You sly, little dog!

Bill: And I was like, “Gee, that was swell!” Can you believe it?! Real lame-o line to follow a first kiss, right? And he was like, “We could do it again, if you want.” And I said, “But, gosh, we’re not even dating! Everyone’ll think I’m a boy-floozy!”

Ms. Pines: HA! Oh, that’s precious!

Bill, giggling: Y-yes, ma’am! It was! And then Dippy, he said, “Well, be my boyfriend. We’ll start calling our hang-outs dates, and I’ll fight anyone who calls you a floozy.” It was soooo chivalrous!

Dipper, beet red and with his hands in his face: Stahp …

*a while later, after the parents have left*

Dipper, relieved: That … That went a lot better than expected. And they sure loved Willy Corduroy.

Bill, self-assuredly: Natch. I’m inescapably charming, no matter the alias. [pulls out cotton balls and tosses them in the trash] If you ever call me Willy, though, I will shank one of your stuffed animals. That was me takin’ one for the team. Which is us, by the way. The team is us.

Dipper: Heh! Yeah, I gathered that.

Bill: Still, I’m surprised they never asked about my eyes …

Dipper: Oh, I “warned” them in advance. Told them you had a medical condition, and that you were really sensitive about it.

Bill: Good thinking. You’re so smart. And handsome. And sexy.

Dipper, grinning: Stahp!

Bill, grinning back: Nope. Never. Because I love you.

Dipper: Hehehe! I love you, too … Willy!
