#love this wacky and chaotic family

[d4rk-x-w0lf-17]

undoubtedly one of my favorite things about LMK is that MK is out here collecting family like pokémon cards

we got his canon adoptive dads

his divorced dads who are still fighting for legal custody

his favorite (and now only) uncle

his big sister

and big brother

[sophieswundergarten]

Had a ✨SpOoKy HaLlOwEeN tHeMeD✨ AU thought that is basically Nicholas Benedict being the polar opposite of Book Victor Frankenstein

He has ALL the degrees and education, and only does extremely ethical science. But, he also adopts/befriends/houses every escaped experiment or person who has been been created/messed up by more careless mad science

[thisisreal-really]

@in-my-loki-feels EXACTLY the three of them get up to some shenanigans and making it everyone’s problem LIKE sean and kevin showed loki a picture of mothman statue in west virginia and loki was like ‘magnificent, now how do we get me one of that?’ and the next day sean and kevin showed up to the city hall with a pitch to make the city a newest cryptid hotspot along with proposal for the city new statue and a sketch like this

while don is just shaking his head exasperatedly but secretly enjoying the mischief cuz he is always up for some chaos, obviously

has anyone written a Loki series fic where Don the Jet Ski Salesman comes home one day to find his boys hiding something in the garage, and is tiredly like "is it snake? I better not go in there and find out you guys robbed a zoo--" only to open the garage door and see an injured, bewildered frost giant Loki prodding cautiously at a bag of doritos (the boys attempted to provide sustenance) (could be angst or good just be the version from the What If? episode trying to recover from a bender with Thor)

[cuppajj]

Neo Beast Head cannons?

WOOWOO

✨Saint Vanilla Cookie

He’s the only one who goes wherever he wants. The other beasts are pretty stationary for the time being, but Saint’s on a mission and he will show up literally anywhere

Still loves animals and thinks they’re incapable of sinning, so they don’t get the purifying touch. It’s why raisin’s crows are still alive

Speaking of raisin, he does miss her but he thinks she’s in a better place. Calls her his martyr and talks about her like she’s still alive

He has tea every morning

It’s unknown where he sleeps when he’s traveling the world

He keeps Crepe’s headset extra clean for the day they meet each other again

❤️‍🔥Dragonberry Cookie

She is still the same old Hollyberry who loves drinking berry juice like there’s no tomorrow. She even brings pints to Neo beast meetings

Even though her pride has given her a massive superiority complex, she still views her family and even Pitaya rather fondly, though it doesn’t prevent the latter from being spared any sort of pain. She sees everything as playful until it’s not

Does frankly miss Tarte Tatin and Royal Margarine even though one or both of them has Snapdragon, who she’s trying to get her hands on

Snores

❄️Frigid Cacao Cookie

Rarely speaks but when he does it’s usually to give orders, and half of that time he asks for food

His incense always remains lit

Alongside the cookies left, sometimes the licorice sea monsters that now roam his halls act as his servants. He can also use the licorice ooze to do wacky things like teleport from one place to another

Sometimes he appears in the fog of the snow like an apparition, something you can barely see but know he’s there. It’s one of the rare sightings of him outside

Another thing he does when outside is stare at a frozen Cacaoian. Sometimes he touches the icy surface, maybe kneels. Who knows what he’s thinking?

☀️Celestial Cheese Cookie

A lot of her mannerisms are akin to white diamond from steven universe, she was actually one of the main references I used for her design

She can summon as many golden arms as she wants and they operate on hydra properties. Cutting one will grow two

Despite this, she doesn’t have the legit Midas touch where everything she touches turns to gold, she can be selective. Which is good when she wants to pet jackals

Her growing kingdom is full of converted desert inhabitants and travelers, maybe a handful of townships, and it’s remarkable how she’s been able to grow a lot from nothing. She does get a bit of an inferiority complex when comparing herself to the likes of Dragonberry, but it motivates her to conquer more

🥀Midnight Lily Cookie

She picked up playing the harp after she became queen, and she plays often. The silver fae like to gather around to listen to their queen perform, and her harp can be heard across the kingdom

She’s grown more accustomed to speaking like the silver fae as well at times, her voice songlike despite how neutral it sounds. She’ll sing as she plays the harp as well

Despite being a beast, she’s the least accepting of that name for lack of a better word. She doesn’t see herself as being corrupt, only staying true to her decisions and her sovereignty, what she believes is right for herself and everyone. It just so happens that it enables the bad to do worse, but it’s not her problem anyway.

Her kingdom is still strict to outsiders, probably on the same level as cacao. You might need an invitation inside or risk the silver fae being free to do whatever they wish with you

As I mentioned previously they operate similar to the fae (unseelie in aesthetic) so you don’t want to bother chaotic neutral creatures

The only one allowed without invitation is Saint Vanilla, who has a habit of showing up in her garden to lay among the flowers. Lily can only imagine what he thinks of when he sees her

[feppepyro]

fem!fortress ( @missvonivory ed. )

aka me and my gf were goofing around with our hcs for the gals and they came up with such brilliant ones that i had to show everybody .... no pyro bc in our perfect world it's agender so they don't count

scout/jenny: White Boston Girl™ who was raised with 7 older sisters by her single dad. a bit too silly sometimes and she gets excited wayyyy too quickly for her own good. a certified Speed Runner and she loves baseball with all her heart

soldier/john: her name is actually joan but shes illiterate so she thinks its john lmao. THE MOST REAL AMERICAN PATRIOT RRAHHHH she's kinda stupid but she does her best trust me

demowoman/tavia: bloody chaotic scottish demowoman!!!! she is unstoppable on the battlefield and you better believe that she WILL explode you even if she has only one eye. she is an alcoholic and she loves a good ol' bottle of scrumpy. an amazing and passionate friend who can be quite rational when shes not too drunk.... which is rare

heavy/masha (maria): tough siberian mountains made this woman into who she is today. as the oldest daughter with three younger brothers with her old father she LOVES her family <3333 she is a Heavy Weapons Lady. her muscles are CRAZY

engineer/dolly (dolores): being a short texas born and raised lady in STEM is tough let me tell you but dolly conagher is a very special woman!!!! she has 11 phds in engineering and she is a Big Deal. a stubborn and determined genius

medic/lucia: mad scientist.... she is unhinged. thats why she lost her medical license 😭😭😭 she means well and she cares about her team but she can be absolutely horrifying with her deranged willingness to experiment on people. but oh well does it come handy when its about their enemy team

sniper/mundee: tired autistic woman. may seem calm and collected on the surface but she has a hidden sarcastic and bizarre sense of humor lmao.... and yes she pisses in jars. what about it. considers herself a lonely wolf but secretly appreciates company of friends

spy: a classy madam with fancy taste. thinks her daughter jenny is too much to handle. spy is a pro at being a snobby french and killing people. truly a lady with manners of all times

bonus!!!!

mister pauling: a manager twink who really tries to get these girls in order because they would be too unstoppable unless there is someone who would calm their energy down a bit. he is gay and lowkey has a gay panic when he sees mashas younger brother

fun trivia tidbits :

masha's younger bros are yan , bronislav and zakhar (zhanna ! bc there's no male equivalent for names that start with zh in russian) . according to the au instead of falling in love with john zakhar just develops a wacky bloodthirsty friendship with her but finds himself weirdly charmed by mr pauling . the homosexual tension in that submarine was crazy

sniper is a trans woman 🌷🌷🌷

you wanna know another reason why zakhar doesn't date john (besides goofy yaoi's sake) ¿ boots n bombs are canon in this universe . tavia kisses her every day

Bachelors and Having a Baby

I saw another hc blog do this and I wanna do my own take~

Sebastian --

Extremely shocked when you tell him you're pregnant, but would react with a blank face and "oh, huh. Interesting." It does not sink in for a few minutes to an hour, and then he's losing his fucking mind.

Never thought he would be a dad, and convinced himself he would be a bad one. Even if him and the farmer weren't using protection, it still blindsides him

He cuts back on freelance work to help more around the farm, especially in the last trimester. The farmer is NOT allowed to do anything more strenuous than play video games. He will prob call on Abigail and Sam to help, he's not exactly the most athletic guy in the world.

Despite his fears that he wouldn't do a good job, he certainly works to make sure they won't come true. Reads a lot of parenting books and talks to Robin a lot. Those talks heal a bit of the rift between them.

Robin jokes that she's too young to be a grandma, but Demetrius cries when he's given a World's Best Grandpa mug. Maru happily steps up as an aunt and will spoil the baby with custom made toys and a ton of STEM for baby books.

Abigail and Sam are the chaotic aunt and uncle I imagine Shane was to Jas. They will babysit (mostly Sam) but expect funny pictures and wacky situations.

Elliott --

He is overjoyed when you tell him the news. He's going to be a papa! Lots of hugs and swinging you around. He doesn't strike me as the type to seek parenthood, but would lovingly embrace it once given to him.

It doesn't hit him for a while that a baby is going to mean changing his lifestyle quite a bit. No more all nighters, he won't be able to write for hours and hours at a time anymore. He finds it worth changing that aspect of his life to adjust to this new addition, a physical manifestation of your love.

Starts to change his habits early on so he'll be better suited after the baby arrives. Fully supports when you go nest mode and will move the furniture around as much as you want.

Has had a list of names for years before you even meet him. And all of them are beautiful

Leah takes on an aunt type roll, and loves teaching the baby about art and colors.

Sam --

Panics hard at the announcement. It doesn't matter that you're married, he still feels like he's sixteen sometimes, and he's worried about getting in trouble

Jodi and Kent are overjoyed at becoming grandparents, and Vincent thinks it's cool he's going to be an uncle.

Abigail and Sebastian make fun of him for being so worried about it, and help him get ready mentally to be a dad. They may need to remind him how much he helped with Vincent.

Once he calms down and realizes his family isn't going to be mad and his friends will stick around, he's extremely excited. He helped make an entirely new person! Someone he can teach music to! Can you skateboard with a baby?

Happily becomes the stay at home dad and handles a lot of the childcare.

Absolutely writes banger after banger of goofy songs for his kid

Alex --

I think he would be the type that always wanted to be a dad, just to spite how bad his was. When you tell him he's going to be one, he's over the moon. One of the few times you ever see him cry is when you tell him about the pregnancy, and again when the baby arrives.

Immediately befriends all the moms in Pelican Town and joins their gossip groups so he can get their advice and help as you prep for the baby. They adore him. He's like their pet.

Gets into what-to-expect books and takes over farm chores basically as soon as you tell him. No, you don't need to be doing all of that. He's got it. Which, I do think he would be pretty involved on the farm. I don't think he's the type to slouch while his spouse does everything. You can trust that he'll do well.

Evelyn and George are shocked by the news. George especially didn't think they'd live long enough to see it. They both love the little one quite a bit, and despite George's general attitude, he only speaks sweetly to the baby.

Haley will absolutely bury you in baby outfits as gifts.

Harvey --

Probably the most panicked on the list. He's not an ob/gyn but he IS medically trained and knows how easily everything can go wrong.

This doesn't mean he isn't thrilled and amazed in equal measure. Sure, you knew it was a possibility, but... He's so happy. He always wanted to be a dad, and now it's happening! He gets very misty-eyed.

He starts taking over cooking to be sure you're getting all the nutrients you need. You will find snacks in your bag, all healthy.

He also wants you to cut back on the farmwork, maybe hire someone for a season or two to hold it down. He would take over if he could, but being the town's only doctor keeps him too occupied.

He will absolutely do every type of birthing partner class.

He also helps set up the birth plan. He handles your medical needs until the birth. The plan is to go to Zuzu City about when the baby is due, deliver in the big hospital where he can be by your side and let someone else be the doctor. This plan fails when you deliver early and he has to step up. Everything goes well.

Shane --

He never thought he would be a dad. He didn't think he was good enough to take in Jas, and for the longest time, he didn't think he was good enough to be involved enough to have a kid.

He's come so far since when you first met. He's still got his issues, but he has a healthy grasp on them anymore. He isn't filled with loathing when you tell him, but tears up and holds you close. He feels incredibly lucky to have someone that loves him enough to welcome a child from him.

He is excited to prep for the kid. He was around when Jas was born, so he still remembers a fair bit about the baby years.

Jas can't wait to be a big sister. She likes playing with Vincent, but it would be even better to have a brother or sister. Marnie tears up when you both tell her the news. She's already a great-aunt to Jas, but looks forward to welcoming your baby as well. If you call her Grannie she will melt.

Shane absolutely faints in the delivery room. Man thought he could handle it. He cannot.

He's a very attentive dad. He never, ever wants this part of him to feel like it's not loved or good enough.

RL and Sims update post + a thank you note

(Warning: long post ahead, read at your own risk).

I wrote this post to thank you guys for all the likes and comments you keep leaving on my posts, even though, as you may have noticed, I can't be here as often as I used to. Real life has taken over almost completely, as I think it should. There are too many things going on, with me, my family, my country, even my sims and other games, lol.

I'm not going to bore you with daily life problems, much less with sad and depressive stuff, or with previews of a story I don't know when/if I'll ever finish, the only thing I can tell you is that I'm still busy with a lot of work, (fortunately) and family stuff; plus, I (finally) started going to therapy (yes, at my age). So right now, I'm juggling even more things than I already was.

And so I wanted to thank you for sticking with me, for continuing to read the chaotic stories of my wacky characters without judging them; thank you as well for each and every message you have sent to my inbox, be it questions, or flowers and love; and to all of you who continue to tag me both on sims stuff and cute games, knowing that I most likely won't be able to answer you, really, thank you for continuing to think of me. Your messages soothe my heart in difficult moments, and I wish to answer them all, I just don't know when I will be able to do that, hopefully someday.

Now, my sims story. For those of you who might remotely still be interested, I'm currently revising the next few episodes of Time Traveler which I wrote earlier this year. To be honest, I don't know when they will be ready, I just know the story goes on and as soon as I have reviewed these episodes, I'll start taking the pictures. When will they be published? Frankly, I don't know. It could be early 2025, but no promises, as I don't have much free time on my hands now. I manage to write in the evenings, but in-game photo shoots are quite time consuming and have to be done in peace and privacy, of which I don't have much at the moment. So, if I do decide to publish these episodes, it will likely be early next year, and at a rather slow pace.

About my gameplay, in Sims 4 we will continue with the Wilsons until the end of the season (coming soon), and then we will take a small break. As for The Sims 3, we just finished Patrick's story in Bridgeport, so now we'll go back with The Cho Brothers. First, we'll take a brief trip to Lucky Palms with Terence and Cynthia Cho; then we'll spend a rather long time in Hidden Springs and Starlight Shores, to see what has happened with Tyron, the eldest of the Cho brothers. And last but not least, we'll go back to Uni with Dale and Kelly, who I hope will FINALLY graduate this year, hahaha.

Anyway, I just wanted you to know that I am not gone (yet), that if one day I decide to retire I will make a special post about it, I won't leave without saying goodbye, but that day seems far away at least for the moment. 

Now, regarding Inzoi…

I admit Inzoi has captured my interest. As usual, I'm late to the comment party, but I still want to put my two cents about this amazing game. Seeing the trailers and all those beautiful Inzois created by other simmers got me so excited, and at the same time, terribly frustrated to see that the demo didn't contain any gameplay. I need to actually play the game to give an opinion on it! So far it looks beautiful, though I must say that the character creator disappointed me because the sliders are Sims 4 style, which I've always found a bit complicated, I'll forever prefer the Sims 3 sliders, but hey, I had a lot of fun creating my own Inzois.

Hopefully the graphics and gameplay are as good as seen in the previews and its developers won't “break” it into multiple or turn the into a malfunctioning cash cow like EA did with The Sims 4, and to a certain extent, also with the Sims 3 in its time. I hope with Inzoi they'll go for a complete game, no matter if it's expensive, if I consider it is worth it, I'll give them my money as soon as it comes out.

That being said, it is important for me to clarify that I will not abandon The Sims 3 (or even Sims 4 though I don't play it much) for Inzoi. Ever. Neither do I plan to recreate my sims OCs/games in it, because my sims are exactly that, sims. If I ever get to play Inzoi it will be with entirely new characters, although I confess, I did try to reproduce two of my most beloved sims (a boy from the future and a college girl who is a model *wink*) and they turned out pretty well, but nowhere near as adorable as they look in The Sims 3. Plus, the environments in which those two OCs currently move could not be reproduced in Inzoi, at least as far as I know.

Okay, enough of Inzoi. In short: I'm not gone, I'm still here, I'm still reading all your stories, only at a much slower pace, two or 3 simblrs per day at the most. I'm going to read them all, just bear with me, and forgive me again if I don't always comment. Sometimes I don't even have the time or the energy for that. Believe me, 2024 has been an intense year in every possible way, sometimes I really need a break, but I try to be around and will always find a way to keep in touch, even if at times it seems like I'm nowhere to be found, I'll get back to you at some point.

That's all, thanks for reading this far! Have a nice and beautiful start of the week. 💗

P.S. I wrote this post three days ago, wish I had published it earlier, that way I probably wouldn't have gotten a notification that some Simblrs Community 'removed my membership'. When I clicked in said Simblrs Community icon, it said the community was 'private'. I don't know if that's some kind of automatic Tumblr thing, if there's a committee that decides about this, or if it was just a glitch in the matrix; whatever it was, I'm so sorry I wasn't able to be here to keep said membership. I didn't even know Simblr was a private membership. For what it's worth, it wasn't neglect or lack of interest for my part, just lack of time. I hope one day to be able to qualify again and be worthy of this membership. At any rate, I thank you for thinking of me and admitting me in your community in the first place.

Danny Kidnaps Damian (not actually) by thebritishspider :

Danny doesn't like being summoned. He really doesn't like being summoned. Especially by the league of assassins. Those guys suck. If you're going to summon an all powerful entity at least do it right. A sandwich or something would be nice. He still wouldn't do their bidding anyway but it's the thought that counts. The one time he mentioned this to the league they offered him a child. Well. If they're offering Danny's gonna get the kid out of there. I mean really. Who in their right mind would offer him a child without laying out parameters. It was insulting really.

Or The League summons Danny, offer Damien as a sacrifice, Danny goes "All right then" and takes Damian. "Do you got another place to go kid?" "My father is Bruce Wayne" "Lol, wacky. I'll drop you off with him then." Danny sticks around because the Waynes are pretty cool, and Damian is very clingy.

After the burn out that comes from being a lone teenage hero and a difficult reveal to his parents he decides he needs to get away. And what better city than Gotham for a man who loves to help in medical crises.

Dick Grayson: detective by day, superhero by night. Well that's what he was until the reality of working for the Bludhaven police department set in and his depression took over. Now he's quit his day job and works for his adoptive father's charitable organization. But that doesn't stop him from continuing his superhero work as the one and only Nightwing.

But when these two soulmates meet on a rooftop at night and their timers run out, happily ever after isn’t as easily achieved as one might think.

[tabl3]

Headcanons or ideas of Bree and Skylar being aunties or Adam and Leo being uncles OR (and I love this even more) Tasha being a grandma! I think she'd be the type of grandma to spoil her grandkids from the divorce money lol

Adam - Adam is the #1 babysitter of all time. he loves spending his free days with his nieces and nephews, and loves his siblings too so is more than willing. he's also SUPER protective of the kids. he was always protective of his parents/siblings, so that more than doubles with the kids. he's a staple around Chase and Kaz's home specifically, both to take care of the kids when they can't and because he just likes hanging out there lols. he also brings Otis III to play with the kids. when Chase or Kaz comes home during the afternoon, there's a good chance they'll find him sprawled on the living room floor playing with the babies without Adam telling them he was coming over. when Amelie was a kid, she'd always come excitedly screaming toward the door if the bell rang because she thought it was him (traumatizing several mailmen). he's a great uncle in summary

Bree - Bree isn't inherently good with kids, but she adores her nieces and nephews and spoils them completely rotten. she's the definition of the rich wine auntie who's super cool in their eyes and gives them whatever they want. even though Kaz and Chase were trying to teach Amelie to be gentle with her when she was pregnant, she shooed them off to cuddle her lmao - in essence, she's the cool wine aunt

Leo - Leo lives a little further away than Adam (who's like 30 minutes away) and Bree (who lives in the manor when she's pregnant and not far after) so he doesn't get to hang out with the kids as much, but when he does he brings out the chaos (that often leaves all of them being lectured by Chase lol) when he isn't encouraging their chaotic impulses, he (along with Logan) takes them to comic shops, swimming pools, anywhere he loved when he was a kid. despite costing Chase several gray hairs, he too is a great uncle

Skylar - the kids absolutely love her. she's great with them. and the one Chase specifically trusts the most to not wreak havoc with while he's not supervising, pretty high compliment. Skylar is a natural with kids, and gives Bree hope back when she's pregnant that they can actually be parents (whole thing there) Skylar is absolutely the one the kids would call to drive them home if they're drunk at a party too

Oliver - even though he isn't related to the Davenports at all, he's not only family with Kaz and Skylar by the end, but also Chase and Bree, so they absolutely consider him an uncle and invite him to be in their kids' lives. Oliver has adamantly stated that he doesn't like kids, but that rule doesn't apply to theirs (even though he acts like it does to the parents to save his dignity) they often catch him cuddling with the kids on "Uncle Oli's couch". he spends a lot of time at the mansion as well, and allows the kids to play around the new Philidelphia Mighty Med lobby, which they love bc they get to see heroes flying around and doing wacky stuff

Kaz/Chase - when Bree is pregnant Chase heavily "suggests" that she stay with them because Skylar was gone on missions and her bionics automatically made it high risk. he wanted his sister to be in a place where there was an ex-doctor and sometimes a current doctor at all times, even when Skylar took a leave from hero work to stay with Bree. they converted one spare room for the two of them on the bottom floor and a nursery right next to it for the baby. when he was born both of them took off work to take care of him with Skylar so Skylar didn't get overwhelmed (it was a very hard birth) and Bree could heal. they took care of the baby for a month until Bree was back to full strength, then offered them to stay longer. they moved out a little later anyway, but bring their son by to play with specifically Anisa all the time. now that they've gotten older, the nursery was made into a kid's room for sleepovers, which are common

extra - Oliver, Adam, and Leo have all argued to no end about who's the favorite uncle (Logan abstained out of fear), as well as have blubbered and sobbed meeting every single kid (7 total lol) they love those kids and would die or kill for them

also yes Grandma Tasha would absolutely spoil the hell out of them with her divorce money lmao

Meet the Robinsons Christmas Headcanons 🎄

-Decorating the tree is a big tradition with the Robinsons, but they are very particular about the way they go about it in the sense that they are everything but particular about it at all. Following a set color scheme? A theme? An aesthetic? Humbug! Everybody in the house puts whatever decorations they like up there and that is that. Many of them are handmade, some recent, some as old as when the Robinsons first moved into their home. Whatever they put up there is their little piece of themselves they decorate the tree with. It looks like a chaotic mess of different colors and ornaments of all mismatched shapes and sizes and its perfect.

-That being said, when it comes to decorating the rest of the house, Cornelius has come up with a wide array of inventions to help make things easier when it comes to getting such a giant house ready for the holidays. Think stuff like that Christmas-light-canon from The Grinch (2000). You know Gaston would love that one.

-The Robinsons also participate in all kinds of charitable events during the holidays. Fundraisers, toy drives, etc. Franny and her frog band specifically will do concerts to raise money for good causes or that are free to attend events for the sake of spreading the holiday cheer.

-On that note, Frankie and the rest of the band have memorized pretty much every Christmas song in the English language (as well as some in other languages) along with a corresponding jazz band arrangement for them.

-And speaking of Music, you know this family is big on Christmas carols during their own celebrations at home, and even though some of them might not be the most gifted singers, they make up for it in effort and good attitude that never fails to bring laughter and cheer.

-The whole family joins in making Christmas cookies, even the ones who are banned from the kitchen every other day of the year, which has bore some...interesting results, but in the end, those become funny stories to tell in due time as well.

-Lots of snowball fights. And lets just say when you've got family members who have experience shooting stuff (including themselves) out of canons, flying around shooting paint, dodging projectiles with karate, as well as building all kinds of contraptions, those can get pretty intense.

-When it comes to what movies the family watches during Christmas time, it varies from year to year and who manages to get their hands on the remote. But one movie they will watch every single year without fail is some variation of A Christmas Carol.

-When it comes to gift-giving, parents give their respective children presents and vice versa, and young children get gifts from pretty much everyone, but since they are a pretty big family, the Robinsons have come up with a Secret Santa system to use every year. Carl inputs the names of everybody over the age of thirteen, makes some calculations, and will give everyone a printed slip of paper with the name of the person this fair and random system has settled they should give a gift to that year. The family has turned it into a tradition to go above and beyond to try to keep whom they've got for the gift exchange a secret by all kinds of wacky means necessary.

-Wilbur, who prior to turning thirteen, had never done the whole Secret Santa thing before, had made it his own tradition to play detective and try to find out who got who for the gift exchange every year after he repeatedly tried asking Carl to tell him for years, and Carl figured out the only way he could get him to stop is by challenging him to figure it out on his own.

fig and kristen are literally opposites omfg

Kristen was deeply traumatized by her religious cult upbringing and the expectations put on her as the Chosen of Helio.

Meanwhile Fig was able to fully embrace her fiendish blood and make it work for her.

Fig during her Junior year is unable to commit to anything for more than five minutes, jumping from Barbarian auditing, To trying and disliking Bard, to Loving Warlock classes, to being a Barbarian/Paladin thing? She's finally getting A's but she's abandoning her career as a Bard/Musician to pursue whatever current fleeting interest she has. She's supposed to be a Pit Fiend but she's really not like doing anything at all about that because she forgot about it. Everything in her life is made by her/somewhat innate to her and she doesn't really feel a sense of duty that truly compels her to any one thing. This girl feels that if she is not the adventurer who can do literally anything, then she is might as well be nothing. On another note, it kinda seems like nothing she does is genuine because she's not really able to commit to anything.

On the other hand, Kristen has other interests like the presidency getting fucking yolked. However, she is so traumatized by the burden of her duties as the chosen of Helio, that having to do anything for any one god (let alone like four deities?) is completely overwhelming to her. Kristen is terrified of commitment because what if it's the wrong choice? In Sophomore Year, we saw a Kristen who was willing to go back to Helio just to have a sense of certainty. Kristen made Cassandra into the godess of doubt, not because she's a doubtful person, but because she's convinced that only a god can give her the ability to be okay with uncertainty.

And It's pretty clear that Kristen desperately needs like a long term break from being an adventurer because you can tell she so badly just wants to NOT be the center of the universe for like five seconds. However, she knows that if she's not an adventurer she might lose the most important friends she's ever had.

Also I'm wondering if Kristen actually appreciates Fig's worship of Cassandra or not, because it seems like Kristen is in this really tough spot of "oh you're just gonna make me do more work? that i never asked to do? because you just need to satisfy another wacky impulse?"

And the worst part is Fig is impulsive but she's managed to control her impulses so that they either don't affect her friends and family, or so that they're directly beneficial. And so I'm wondering that if Kristen does resent Fig for imposing something on her, that Fig is similarly resentful of Kristen that she doesn't appreciate the work that she's trying to put into at least making her chaotic nature work for her friends.

GOD I am normal about characters.

Fully listened to the new Audible series for ‘Wynonna Earp: Tales From Purgatory’. I loved it. I feel like they have the right format here. My favourite episodes were ‘I’m Not Gonna Miss You’, ‘Another You’ and ‘Biscuits’.

WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!

First off, I want to say that I am kinda sad about Jeremy and Damon splitting off but then we never knew much of them anyway. I too felt it was way too soon to be u-hauling. I guess moving in together after having just met each other isn’t exclusive to lesbians. But you could tell that Jeremy was just on the rebound and that’s not healthy. Especially considering he just wanted “normal” because really… that’s such a fantasy in this weird and wacky world of Wynonna fucking Earp and Nicole learned that lesson big time in ‘Vengeance’.

But in true Emily Andras fashion - we lose one couple to gain another. A new WLW couple. More episodes with them and WayHaught showing them the ropes on how to have a decent love life in crazy, chaotic Purgatory would not be too much to ask if they continue this on.

Welcome to the Earper family London and Tess. I’m sure the fandom is working on your ship name already.

We finally got some answers on Rachel’s whereabouts during ‘Vengeance’. I still think she could have at least been mentioned though. I mean how hard was it to put in a “I hope Rachel’s having a good time in…” or just… something to that effect from her adopted parents to show us that they still gave a shit about the orphan girl.

I loved how romantic and caring Nedley was in his episode and how his wife having amnesia was the inspiration provided for Nicole to stop letting her busy work life as the Sheriff get in the way of domestic life. The honeymoon phase for WayHaught may be over but marriage requires sacrifice and compromise if it’s to last forever. You can’t take any moments for granted - bad or good - because you may find the happiest of memories get lost along the way. It was a very poignant and thought-provoking narrative and it’s probably why it’s my most favourite episode out of all 6 episodes.

I also liked that we got confirmation that Wynonna and Doc spent some time with their daughter before moving on to Dollywood and Tombstone and I like the explanation for why Wynonna felt Alice should stay with Aunt Gus and not come along with them. It made sense because Wynonna’s never been one for conventional. But I do hope if they continue this Audible series they’ll have her grow out of that chronic aversion to nesting because Alice does need her mother. Her real mother. Especially more so now her father’s not in the picture.

All in all I was satisfied with what I heard but I want more. And I want more in this format instead of on Tubi because I still do not trust them to handle WEARP well and you can’t blame me after the horrible experiences I’ve had working with manipulative streaming services.

Audible I’m a lot more lenient towards because they work with independent creators as well as mainstream creators. They’re more about the creative process and have less need to bump up business via manipulation. I’d rather Emily and Co keep working with them than Tubi but I know that the money needs to come from somewhere and Audible is not enough for this team who so graciously keep giving us more and more of their time and effort when they’re not adequately financed and funded enough to keep going with the bigger endeavours… Which is why they need Tubi.

I might be a pessimist but I just want them to be careful because the TV show/film industry is really rough these days and great storytelling always seems to suffer for it.

And make no mistake - Emily is a great storyteller. It’s just she also has to think about the business side of things too and that often means shuffling the cards where she doesn’t want them to be to pay her team. You have to be reminded that it’s not Emily that made the decision to kill off Doc. But it was her responsibility to make sure that she’s doing what’s best for her team - her work family. Nobody wants to accept these choices when they’re this hard. But they have to be accepted.

Audible provides the creative freedom Emily and Co wants but Tubi provides the financial aid to keep telling any stories. She made a smart decision going with both. It’s an executive producer and head writer’s decision as creativity and business are never really happily married. So cut them some slack and realize that this venture is something that will be an on-going process for a while.

I have so many thoughts and feelings about Josh/Annaleigh leaving Sweeney today, so I’m going to do my best to get them all down without becoming a ball of emotions (which is too late bc I watched their closing speeches 😭)

I’ve been a big fan of Josh since late 2020—though I was always aware of who he was, the pandemic was a chaotic time where his music really spoke to me and helped me through a lot of wild times, and I’ve been such a fan of the passion and care he puts into his artistry.

fast forward to late 2022 and he announces he’ll be starring in Sweeney, and I KNEW I would do whatever it took to get there. after a couple of failed attempts trying to plan the trip with others, my mom finally agreed to go with me.

I couldn’t have known then that March 2023, right before we were set to go, was going to be one of the worst months in my life for a long while. between late night bad news phone calls, family emergencies, hospital visits, and funerals, it was a season filled with anxiety and dread about what would go wrong next. it sounds silly now, but it was almost as if I was scared to even go on the trip because it was just one more thing that would go wrong, one more plan that would fall through where I’d have to chin up and tell myself it didn’t really matter to me, even though it did.

and then, none of my worst fears happened. and for a brief 3 hours seeing Sweeney Todd on stage, everything was pure magic.

it’s silly that a musical about vengeance and murder and bloodshed would be the thing to bring light into my life during such a rough period, but it did. I remember the house lights coming up at intermission after Priest and turning to my mom and saying “I’m so happy right now.”

You could tell the absolute passion these two put into these iconic roles, the way they poured everything into making what could be single-note villains into characters that, at their core, are desperately, relatably human, which is where the real tragedy and horror of Sweeney lies. Josh made Sweeney broken, human, full of tension and the push and pull of good and evil, while Annaleigh created a wacky, zany version of a Lovett who truly just wanted to be loved by the one she loved, and would do anything to get that love.

aside from the show experience itself, this revival reignited this blog and connected me with so many people who have united around this incredible show. from the silly memes to the heartbreaking analysis, it’s been SO much fun to dive deeper into this show with everyone, and I can’t wait to keep doing that.

anyways. I know this isn’t the end of the show and that we’ll hopefully have many exciting future iterations of Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett in this current revival. But today marks the end of an era I’m eternally grateful for, and it all began with these two incredible performers who made such an impact on me during such a chaotic time in my life.

happy trails, Josh and Annaleigh 🔪🥧💈

Fluffcember 2024: Cabin in the Snow | Sorvus & Clauderry Callum is determined to ask Rayla to be his girlfriend this Winter Break. But if he can't even start a fire, how is he supposed to create the perfect moment? Soren has decided to stay on campus this Christmas, but with Rayla and Callum as his only company, he's starting to feel like a third wheel. Except maybe it's not just the three of them left on campus after all. Meanwhile Claudia is trying to have a nice Christmas with her family, but maybe her family isn't at home...

 “Come in!” Claudia called at the knock at her door. Then, hurriedly shoving the half wrapped gifts under her bed, added; “Only if you’re not Mom or Dad though!”

 The door creaked open and she let out a sigh of relief at the sight of Terry.

 “Thank goodness.”

 He chuckled. “A little late to be wrapping presents, don’t you think?”

 “I’m nothing if not a bit chaotic.” she replied, throwing him a smile. He sat down on the floor beside her, crossing his legs, and started cutting out wrapping paper.

 “Oh, thank you, Terry.” Claudia said, leaning over and planting a quick kiss on his cheek. “You’re the best.”

 She picked up the tape and continued plastering it over the one present she had managed to wrap. It looked a little… funny. But it was nothing some tape couldn’t fix. Probably.

 “Your Dad’s gonna love this.” Terry said, beginning to wrap one of the presents. Somehow his wrapping was all crisp edges and clean lines.

 Claudia smiled. “I think so, too! My Dad loves a musty old book.”

 “He does.” Terry agreed, finishing it off with a bow. He even curled the ends of the ribbon. “And your Mom?”

 “Scented candles.” Claudia said, holding up her own, misshapen bundle. “Her one true weakness.”

 “Perfect.”

 “Right? I’m the best daughter.” Claudia joked. Well, she was sort of joking. She hadn’t actually met a daughter better than her yet, so it was possible she was stating a fact.

 She took the package Terry had wrapped and slipped it under the bed alongside her own, settling them next to the one she had already wrapped. Her favorite; the one for the best boyfriend (she’d never met one of those better than Terry, either).

 Once she’d hidden them away, Terry helped her to her feet and they both sat on the edge of the bed. Claudia leaned her head on his shoulder.

 “You know, this Christmas has been… weird.” she said after a moment. “But you made it wonderful.”

 “Weird and wonderful?” he asked.

 “Yep. Just like you.”

 Terry looped an arm around her waist, pulling her close and leaning his head on top of hers. “I think you mean just like you.” 

 “Nah. I’m wacky and wonderful.” Claudia said.

 Terry chuckled. “You definitely are wonderful.”

 There was another knock at the door and Claudia slid off the bed after giving Terry one more quick kiss on the cheek. Lissa poked her head into the room.

 “Dinner is ready, lovebugs.”

 “Great. I’m starving.” Claudia groaned. “Did you-”

 “Yes, I made the yams.” her mother disappeared out the door and Claudia turned back to Terry with a grin.

 “You’re going to love the yams. They’re like dessert, but for dinner!”

 “Sounds delicious!” 

 They followed Lissa down the hall and into the dining room, sitting down next to each other at the table. Claudia started scooping food onto her plate immediately, loading it with candied yams before passing the casserole dish to her boyfriend.

 “Come on, they’re so good.”

 Terry sampled one, eyes going wide. “They are so good.”

 Lissa chuckled. “Well, thank you. Try and leave some for me.”

 “No promises.” Claudia mumbled around a full mouth. She glanced around. “Where’s Dad?”

 “Probably working.” Lissa said, sounding a little curt even though she was smiling.

 “I can go get him.” Terry offered. “Let him know dinner is ready.”

 “I’m sure he’ll be out as soon as he can find the time.” Lissa assured them. “Just enjoy your meal. Waiting on Viren never helped anybody.”

 Claudia returned to her yams, pretending not to notice the little glance Terry gave her. Dad would be out in a minute, and Mom always said stuff like that. It didn’t mean anything.

 It was another twenty minutes before Viren arrived. Lissa fell silent as he dragged out his chair and sat down, raising an eyebrow at him.

 “Finally decided to join us, did you?”

 “I had a meeting.”

 “It’s Christmas Eve.”

 “And I had a meeting.”

 “It couldn’t have waited until after the holidays?” Lissa asked, poking at her food.

 Claudia rolled her eyes. “Dad always has meetings. It’s like work is his fun or something.”

 “Or something.” Lissa muttered under her breath.

 Claudia offered her Dad the candied yams, silently begging him to let it go. He reached out to take them, then hesitated, gaze flicking to Lissa at the other end of the table.

 “Dad, do you want some-”

 “And what is that supposed to mean?” Viren snapped, eyes narrowing.

 Claudia felt Terry’s leg bump against her’s under the table and she glanced at him. He inclined his head back towards the hall and their bedroom. She shook her head.

 “What do you think it means?”

 “I have my suspicions. But I’d like to hear you say it.”

 “I’ve said it all before. I don’t see the point in repeating myself.”

 Claudia poked absently at her yams, shrugging so that her hair fell over her face and hid her from Terry’s continuing looks of concern. 

 “Say. It.” Viren said, leaning forward on the table.

 Lissa snapped her head up, eyes flashing. “You have always put your career ahead of your family. Always.”

 “My career is how this family lives. How we pay for our home, or food, the clothes on our backs.”

 “Will it still feel like a home when no one lives in it?”

 “Claudia and I live in it just fine.”

 “But not your son?”

 Claudia stabbed a piece of yam, hard. Her fork’s impact with the plate sent a shiver up her arm and made a dull screeching sound as the metal scraped against ceramic.

 “Soren made his opinion of me very clear.”

 “Only because you-”

 “Will both of you just shut up!?” Claudia stood so abruptly her chair went clattering backwards onto the floor, fists hitting the table hard enough to knock over her glass of water. “Why can’t we just have one nice Christmas without the both of you spending the entire time bickering?”

 Her voice caught, and she wiped the tears from her eyes with the back of her hand. Terry rose alongside her, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder. She glanced at him, about to snap at him, too. She was tired of him pitying her.

 But it wasn’t pity in his eyes. It never had been. She gave him a little smile. It was wobbly, but he returned it. She turned back to her parents.

 “I’m going for a walk.”

 “Claudia-” her mother rose from the table.

 “Don’t follow me.” she stalked away from the table. “Come on, Terry.”

 She made it onto the front porch before she started crying, sinking down onto the snowy steps and feeling the cold seep through her clothes and into her bones. She heard the door click shut behind her, and then Terry sat beside her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders.

 “Is there anything I can do?”

 “Just being here is nice.” she said, wiping at her eyes again.

 “You know, it’s okay to be upset.”

 “I just feel so silly.” Claudia said, leaning her head against his shoulder. “They do this every year, but I still get upset about it like it’s the first time. Usually… usually Soren is here.”

 “Do you want to call him?”

 She laughed, a little bitterly. “You saw how well that went last time.” Claudia buried her face in her hands. “Ugh, why is my Dad like this? Both of them.”

 “They don’t mean to hurt you.”

 Claudia sniffed. “I know. Family is… complicated. But they’re still your family. No matter what. You do anything for your family.”

 “Maybe sometimes you have to do things for yourself.” Terry said, tucking the hair out of her face. “Isn’t that what your brother did?”

 “Yeah, he abandoned us.”

 “That’s not really the way I see it.” Terry said, staring up at the sky. It was sort of pretty; all star flecked and snowy. “To be there for other people, you have to be there for yourself, too. You can’t help anyone if you can’t help you. You said it yourself; you do anything for family. But aren’t you your family, too?”

 “That doesn’t make any sense, Terbear.” Claudia said, glancing up at him. “But it was really pretty.”

 “Think about it.” he said, turning to face her and taking her hands in his. “If you’re hurting, then how are you supposed to heal someone else’s hurt? The only way you can really put all your strength into helping someone else is if you’re at full strength yourself.”

 Claudia took a moment to consider it. “So… if I want to heal my Mom and Dad, then I need to heal me, first?”

 “Yes!” Terry smiled at her, but it faltered after a moment. “But sometimes things can’t be healed. And we have to let them go.”

 “That’s… I don’t want to have to do that.” she glanced away.

 “I know." he gave her hands a squeeze. "But you can only build something new if you let go of the old thing.”

 Claudia sighed, leaning her shoulder against Terry’s again. “You’re really smart, Terry.”

 He gave her a little smile. “I try.”

 “Let’s go home.”

 “Are you sure you don’t want to give it some more time? It’s okay to need a break and some time to yourself.”

 “No, I meant home.” She looked up at him. “I want to go home for the holidays.”

 “Aren’t we-” Terry’s eyes widened. “Oh.”

 Claudia pushed herself to her feet, offering him a hand up. The idea was growing in her head, and with it, her smile. “Soren will be so surprised.”

ummmm....... whats your favorite anime ^_^ (or multiple of them)

Eeep! Good question anony!!

I kinda wanna preface this answer by admitting that I am, in no way an avid anime watcher.

I like anime don’t get me wrong, I’m just not huge into it I guess? I only recently started getting into watching anime and reading manga myself. Cuz back then I used to be hesitant to start a series and get into something and use the excuse that I was really too busy.. So I never really watched the super duper popular stuff everyone’s talking about. I’m super behind haha.

Anyways when I was younger I used to really like the shi like Pokemon, Yo-Kai Watch, and PreCure. Not my favorites but I gotta shout them out for making up my childhood.

My mom used to watch a lot of anime some years ago and I’d be bored n watch a couple episodes with her… that’s how I found out about Spy x Family btw. But watching anime on my own accord is kinda a recent development LOL.

The first ever anime I got into by myself and completed was actually the Ace Attorney anime, as weird as it seems. Like yeah okay the anime isn’t perfect and a lot of people may not like it. The animation’s wonky, the story diverges from the original games, it doesn’t include ROTA, whatever its valid criticism. But I personally really enjoyed it! There were actually some parts of the story in the anime I preferred over the games, the music [especially the OPs and EDs] were really good, and it’s oddly enough one of the only animes I can watch in English Dub [like come on dude it’s funny and I like Eric Vale]. One of my personal favorites, just probably not of all time. I may be biased tho because my AA Hyperfixation meant so much to me personally.

My most favorite anime out of the one so watched? Well, it’s probably obvious from the contents of this blog, but if you couldn’t guess it’s Spy x Family!! I’m super obsessed with it.. I wish healthy families were real.. Man I love SxF so much tho aaaa!! It’s so cute and fun. Waiting for season three.. cannot wait. Tis peak I’m afraid.

Though actually, right now I’m really super into DanDaDan [I’ve mentioned in my other posts]. I just finished reading the manga yesterday and OMGOMG I can’t wait to see the rest of the story animated it’s so good. I love how chaotic and unpredictable and wacky it is.!!:! I love the characters sm it’s so fun ahsbsnsj yayayaya

Anyways yeah, that’s probably it! In the future I wanna check out some other series too.. like Dungeon Meshi seems cool! I LOVE FANTASY WORLD BUILDING!! But right now I should probably focus on my studies and work. Eep. There’s more stuff I haven’t talked about btw I’m just. Don’t wanna make another very long post LOLZ

You know what, it's father's day (pretends like I'm not a whole day late), why not some dad! Ingo and Gris ramblings because I said so!

Ingo

Soccer dad basically. Has snacks hidden in his coat and has a time table of all the things his kids need to be at, where and when and with who. Being on time is being ten minutes early and proper nutrition is the utmost priority for healthy minds!

Overprotective, just a tad. A scrape or bruise? He's in tears as he applies one of everything the first aid kit has to offer. A rude child is bullying them, Ingo places a lifetime ban on the kid's family from the subway lines. (lawful evil)

Chef dad! Teaches them how to make pancakes and basic easy meals for when they wanna make a snack. Unfortunately, they have Gris's awful cooking talent so it's a 50/50 chance their cooking attends end up good or bad.

Gris

Spare the rod, spoil the kid type dad. The kids want a little bit of ice cream before dinner? Done. Ten more minutes to play before they go to bed? Done. Sneaking them pokeballs before their ten to catch and train pokemon? Done and Done! (Ingo slightly encouraged the last part)

Overprotective, but in a fight another parent type way. Some brat's being mean to their kids? That kid's up in a tree now like a scared cat. A karen mom is hogging the playground? Hope she likes a keyed mini van. Will commit arson in the name of their kids. (totally not a bad influence at all.) (chaotic good)

Street smart dad. Teach the kids how to hop fences just in case they need to run from a pokemon or something. Teaches them competitive strategies to make them the overlordes of the local pokemon battles. Teaching them the ways of team skull that were actually beneficial and none of the law breaking ones mostly >:)

Stylish Dad. Pulling up to the parent teacher conferences in the most punk spikes and studs and liberty spikes.

Together

Those lovey dovey parents you see in movies where they'll kiss and their kids get grossed out because ew they're in love yuck

Very responsible! Despite each other's messes and flaws together they make a good team. Ingo is slightly strict and a little straight arrow, Gris is more relaxed and bends the rules a bit. Gris knows priorities but doesn't know the best execution but Ingo knows how to organize best. Two wacky braincells working together to be a high function single brain cell!

Very caring and unconditionally loving. Gris had a hard time growing up and Ingo didn't fit in quite either due to his mannerisms so they know the struggles of a kid who's a little different than the rest. They know when to give space and when the kids need attention, and how to make them feel wanted and loved.

Bonus: Uncle Emmet and Aunty Elesa

Emmet heavily encourages the kids pursuit in pokemon train and handle and also reinforces the idea of 'fuck around and find out' mentality when it comes to rule following and ruler breakers.

Elesa spoils the kids like no other. #1 gift giver for Christmas and birthdays. They're getting the newest model trains, the best shoes, they most favorite and expensive snacks! Ingo and Gris can't keep up but if it saves them a little bit of money?

Emmet will inpersinate Ingo when needed. The kids accidental got detention, Emmet calls them out of school to avoid it. They need a forged signature, Emmet's on the job. Need to go watch an R-Rated movie? Hell no Emmet's taking them to the newest pg thomas the train movie isntead.

Elesa babysits with the help of Skyla and it's a total spa day.

Emmet babysits and the kids run a battle tournament in their living for the whole neighborhood.

Bonus bonus:

Imagine it's bring-your-parents-to-school-day and the twins bring in the son of Alola's toughest formerly evil organization who's armored up in a battle jacket and platform docs and also one half of the formidable subway bosses that dresses like an office worker but will mop the floor with you if need be.
