I have to clean both bathrooms and the refrigerator this weekend.

Don't worry though, I bought three Bluey plushies at Target, so I'm going to be okay.

I love posing my dolls with little toys. Maddie sure loves her Squishes. So I found out they made these mini surprise dolls called Mini Barbie Land, so I bought a few for Maddie.

(Also included a Squish I forgot to picture with the rest of them haha).

Idk, I thought these would be AG sized Barbies, but they seem a bit small for that even, they're practically scaled for Barbie doll sized Barbies! But hey, we all love our tiny toys for dolls, and I think Maddie likes these just the same.

Maddie sure loved the Cutie Reveal Barbie the most, she loves unicorns. Now for the Color Reveal.

Imo, Sophie has been kinda entitled since the first book. She's always expected everything to go her way and for others to just... Deal with it. It's like she thinks that her actions don't have consequences, or that they shouldn't have consequences because she's special. The first example that comes to mind is Dex; She played his feelings and was very touch and go, especially after the kiss. She expected him to not be upset that she rejected him, took his first kiss, and rejected him again. I especially don't like how everyone bends to her will even after she treats them horribly. This is probably just because Shannon doesn't realise that's what she's writing, because she thinks that Sophie is a strong, righteous character and is always in the right no matter what, but I find that it diminishes from a character. The fact that she never apologises for her actions just... Rubs me the wrong way. How can a character be good if they don't recognise their own faults? At least anti-heros recognise that they aren't a good person. They aren't gonna do anything about it, but the know and are self aware. Sophie, and seemingly everyone around her, isn't. It makes me want to see someone snap at her for being such an entitled prick, bonus points if it's Dex. He really drew a short straw in all of this.

Dex could've been a great protagonist, by the way. It'd give us more world building about the elves instead of having everything spoon-fed to us, we still hit all of the major plot points but it's more character driven. Sort of like Heroes of Olympus when we get Leo's pov. He's not a main character, but we witness the main character doing main character stuff through his eyes. It would also mean that we get to truly see Sophie's actions, give the chance for bitterness to grow, get to see as Dex grew disolussioned to her. With Dex as the protag, it means more drama within the characters and, frankly, a more interesting plot. Everything just sorta falls in place for Sophie; Nothing falls in place for Dex.

Also, the ability restrictor stuff would be way more interesting if it was laden with Dex's guilt eating him from the inside out

Alright I both agree with some of your points and have reservations about others.

Sophie is a very headstrong person, she learns throughout the course of the series that she has to push to get things done be listened to, as so many people tried to keep her out of what was going on (e.g., Alden not telling her about moonlark things, Black Swan being very secretive). She's stepped out of the quiet girl persona she embodied in the back of her high school class, but now she hasn't yet figured out the balance between pushing and patience. She's full speed ahead, which I think is where that feeling of entitlement comes from. She can learn, but right now is impatient and demanding because that's what she's learned to be.

But I don't think Shannon believes Sophie's in the right all the time--I think Sophie believes Sophie is in the right all the time (though she's made mistakes she's aware of, like reading Dimitar's mind at the funeral). Shannon writing one thing doesn't mean it's what she would do or believes is right. Fans mess that up a lot with the worldbuilding, for example, and say "hey shannon you created a world where people are divided based on talent and then called it perfect? what?" when she openly talks about how the world has problems and things she doesn't like, which is why rebellions exist--it's the elves, not her that call it perfect.

As for Dex being the protagonist, I think that's personal opinion. You find him interesting, so you want to see more of him and his world and are more inclined to see him positively. I'm personally neutral towards him, and when I look at his character and what he can provide to the story, what I see is "a character who is the outcast of his society based on unjust rules proves he's worthy while retaining his quirks." And that, to me, doesn't seem unique enough to justify the switch.

It's also possible keeper just isn't the story you're looking for. Dex as the protagonist could be a very interesting and captivating story, you're right; I'm not disagreeing with you on that. But it would also be a very different story.

Sophie's story is one of self and your agency when so much in your life has been curated and controlled, one of a human perspective in an elven world and how that plays out. Dex's would be one of challenging internal hatred because of how he doesn't fit in, learning his deep seated desire for acceptance isn't always worthwhile, of learning to hate the system and not people caught in it like him, even if they're on the other side (the Vackers). Which would be an interesting story, but isn't the point of this one.

I've paraphrased this before and I'll do it again: As a story goes on, decisions have to made and possibilities are cut off. As it goes on, it narrows because it has to, and along the way the people it appeals to narrows and lessens because the story becomes more specific. It will lose people, not as a bad thing, but because that's how writing works.

If you're finding all these things you disagree with in canon and things you wish had been done (non spoon-fed worldbuilding, character driven plot), maybe you had an idea of what the story would become and the best style for it based on a possibility at the start and as the story made it's decisions, they weren't the ones you wanted and so it lost you. It's not a bad thing, it happens. I'm also not saying "this is what happened and how you feel/think!" I just hesitate to say "the story should've been restructured like this," because at a certain point...that's not the same story, we're not talking about keeper we're talking about something new.

None of this is to say that you're wrong, just that I think this is a very subjective topic and one we don't happen to see eye to eye on. I think Dex could make a fantastic protagonist and tell an absolutely fascinating story! I think Sophie is a little unbalanced at the moment as part of her arc and it's frustrating to read at time. But I also think changing that creates an entirely different story based on personal desires for where you want it to go, and I don't share the same desires. Dex is fine, but he's never really clicked for me, so I like things as they are! Even as much as I love Tam, his POV would be a completely different story too, and that's not what I want for keeper. I want keeper to be itself, even if there are parts that don't appeal to me or if it narrows out of my interest.

I hope this all makes sense and doesn't come off as dismissive, as I'm really trying not to be. But yeah! That's kinda where I stand on the topic at the moment :)

Your art is like a mini squishmallow, and it's unfair that I'm not allowed to squeeze it. Could we get an eepy Skizz getting tucked into bed? He has been working very hard and deserves rest.

I don’t have a crush. But I can tell you about the love of my life.

Red hair,green eyes(kinda narrow eyes which makes her look even more beautiful) and a soul that makes my soul giggle! Fears a lot of things in life, but has fearless love that makes me have goosebumps! Sucker for constant affection, makes me crazy sometimes, but me as a hopeless romantic always feed her needs! Love is the most beautiful and craziest feeling ever! Have a nice holidays!!!

JJK Drabble #2

Tw/Warnings: Fem!Reader, Fluff, Fluff Brainrot, Domesticity, Family Man Toji, Usage of Wife and Mom, JJK Oc added

Pairing: Toji Fushiguro x Fem!Reader

Reader: Female, Usage of Wife and Mom

AU: Modern/"Toji Lives" Au

(A/N): I'm back! Well, kinda of. Long story short, dealt w/college stuff and had a health scare that kept me away from writing. Also had a mini burnout too. More is explained here!

Thinking about Toji taking up crocheting and knitting because he saw how expensive yet cheaply made certain items like blankets are made. So he buys a simple set to try it out, following Youtube tutorials and watching videos for ideas. Once he masters the basics, Toji is LOCKED IN once again. Making full on hand-made blankets, scarves, hats, mittens/gloves, stuffed animals, covers/cases, bags, scrunchies, even damn rugs. Anything you ask him for, he’ll make it. This ends up being very practical to Toji because he saves so much money by just making them at home himself. It has to be the premium, natural, good quality type. Organic cotton, wool, cashmere, alpaca/llamas, silk, linen, mohair, bamboo, hemp, all of that. Tell him about polyester or something and he tells you to put that shit back. He buys the premium yarn nearby, locally, or gets them imported internationally. Gets every and any colors because he never wants to be limited when making his projects.

There was a throw blanket you wanted for the couch but it was expensive and the size was a lot smaller than you hoped. The next day, you come home to see Toji making it for you. The same color but better quality and inexpensive, and it was the size you wanted too. You were happy and amazed that he made it within a day. Living off your praise and approval, Toji just makes everything. Since he can’t get carpal tunnel or arthritis, his hands and wrists never get tired from working. Though, his posture does get bad and his back aches from being hunched over. The blanket in your bedroom with Toji? He made that shit with fucking love and care. He actually made multiple ones depending on the weather and season. 

Man has even made throw pillows, regular pillows, water bottle cases, table cloths, coasters, bags, cushions, and made your own curtains. I mentioned before that everything in your home was either made, customized, or renovated by Toji. This stays TRUE because almost all the pillows and blankets in the house are his creation. The blankets and pillows that cover Megumi and Tsumiki’s beds? All Toji. Both pillows and blankets match each other and are in respective colors for the two. Megumi has one at his dorm because it gets cold over there and he hates sleeping in the cold. 

If you are a stuffed animal fiend, like me, you ask Toji to make you any stuffed animal you want. Definitely make squishmallow dupes for you if you asked him. In your personal room/office, there’s a pile of stuffed animals in the corner from Toji that you pluck one from the pile and hold it while relaxing or walking around the house. The ones he loves to make are bees, dragons, whales, dolphins and dogs. And they’re so soft and huggable, you squeeze them all the time. Toji just grins to himself knowing the things he makes brings you and the kids happiness.

Toji “Anything my wife wants, my wife gets. No questions asked” Fushiguro

It’s normal for you to come home to see Toji crocheting/knitting away at something. You either find him in three places at home: the engawa in front of the courtyard and garden, the family room with the shoji doors open, or in his personal room/office. Mostly, he sits outside sitting on the engawa working away at something. It makes him work better, or so he says. Makes his own needles and hooks because of his big hands. Megumi still has his crocheted stuffed puppy when he was younger, still going strong even though it’s been worn down from love. Tsumiki has all the Sanrio characters knitted/crocheted as gifts from Toji.

Tsumiki always wears her hair up in a ponytail, Toji makes her scrunchies in her favorite designs and colors. Her favorite cardigans and pullover sweaters that keep her warm during fall and winter were made by Toji because he wanted to try making outerwear. Luckily it worked in his favor. Tsumiki asked Toji if he could make her a tote bag because she needed a bag for outings. She comes home from school one day to see three of them in different sizes. She has those cute little flower keychains on her school bag and outing bags too because she asked Papa Toji for them. The massive white and blue circle rug in her room is from Toji.

Megumi’s winter scarf, earmuffs, and hat are made by Toji too. Megumi will never admit it out loud but he appreciates that Toji made it for him. They keep him and he doesn’t feel the wind chills nipping at his face. Megumi also appreciates his dad for making his stuffed animals. I’m projecting here but Toji made a set of plush stuffed animals after his shadows. His divine dogs, all of them. Megumi keeps them on his stuffed animal net in the top corner above his bed. Megumi wears a jacket and hoodie made by Toji all year round because of how versatile they are. In general, they’re Megumi’s favorite clothes to wear too.

Thinking about asking Toji to make a present for Nobara and Yuuji on their birthdays. You asked Nobara what her favorite color and style was while Yuuji said he wanted a new hoodie. Toji makes them pretty fast and the two are in love with their gifts. Nobara is wearing her bag EVERYWHERE, and I mean, EVERYWHERE she goes. Yuuji, like Megumi, ends up loving his hoodie that you always see him wear when he’s in casual clothes. Since Nanako and Mimiko grew up with Megumi and Tsumiki, one of Nanako’s cardigans and a pair of her socks are made by Toji while Mimiko only has a random plushie Toji made for her when she was younger because Suguru had to clean the other one.

Not me thinking about how Tsumiki, Megumi, and Mayumi(JJK OC) baby blankets are handmade by Toji himself with their own individual design and patterns. Megumi and Tsumiki’s are still in good condition even though they were lovingly used by the two throughout their whole life. Their baby hats, socks, and certain outfits were all made by him. He keeps them all in individual boxes to not lose them. Gets sentimental and nostalgic that you catch him staring as he holds the small clothes in his big hands. Reminiscing about Megumi and Tsumiki being babies and small children, now realizing that they are growing up before his eyes.

God, all of it is thoroughly well knitted and crocheted that people thought you bought it from a store. “No, actually my husband made it for me. Isn’t he skillful and amazing?” Your friends and co-workers lowkey ask you if Toji is willing to take commissions for them. They’ll pay for it obviously but they want good quality home-made items Toji makes which gives you an idea. You asked Toji if he considered making orders for other people besides his family. He did think about it but he said he would get overwhelmed when receiving orders and packing them up. You asked him if dealing with the orders and packaging them would help him change his mind. So you unintentionally set up a small business with Toji. His shop consists of blankets, bags and baskets of any kind, pot holders, rugs, coverings, and pillows. It runs where one week is for receiving orders, one month is for making them, and another month to send them out. Making a spreadsheet/list for Toji to show what he needs to make. Probably gets finished with all the orders in two weeks or something.

For some reason, Toji wears eye-glasses when he knits and crochets. You don’t know why but it makes him more handsome that your brain rots/short circuits every time you see him working away. He got you all flustered and down bad it’s insane(but absolutely valid). But you don’t understand why he would need them since he already has better vision and eye-sight than 99% of the population.

“Honey, since when do you need glasses?”

“I need it so I don’t strain my eyes when working on them?”

“Can you, like, squint? You already have 20/10 vision. You don’t need glasses when you have superhuman vision, Baby.”

“Doll, just because I have good eye-sight doesn’t mean my eyes aren’t as sensitive. My eyes are still bugged by light, shit hurts and gives me headaches. Anyway, can you pass me the blue yarn in front of ya?”

Megumi and Tsumiki always see you with their Toji. You’re chilling and minding your own business with their baby sister napping away while Toji is working away at a rug because he is bored. Even though he’s been doing this since they were young, the two still can’t get over how their dad can make a king-sized blanket(start to finish) in four hours. Or when they come home from school and see Toji finishing up on a big and long green dragon, turning to Megumi and Tsumiki asking them, “Do you two think your mom would like this?” Or they could be chilling then Toji asks them to try on the projects he finished to see how they look. Tsumiki and Megumi are his main critics, you are too but you aren’t bothered by certain details to criticize Toji’s projects so he leaves it to the kids.

Mayumi(JJK OC) is chilling by Toji as he’s working away, either sleeping away or playing with her stuffed animals close within sight. Being the three year old she is, she sometimes hides underneath the unfinished blankets and pops up from under to surprise Toji. Papa Toji gives his iconic DILF chuckle that has you  GEEKING and GIGGLING like a damn school girl when you get the chance to hear it every time. He just pats her head, calling her a little rascal or princess, then resumes.

I’m projecting once again but you know those cute crochet dolls? Like the ones with the big black eyes, big head, small body, and no mouth? Toji made those of the entire family. There’s one of himself in his iconic black compression shirt, white sweatpants, and kung fu slippers. He added a little scar too where his mouth would be. Then there is your’s, all pretty and pristine with your iconic outfit. Toji getting your colors and features down to the bone. Next is Megumi and Tsumiki, literal carbon copies of their real versions. Toji said Megumi’s hair was the hardest part to make lol. Then Mayumi’s doll is later added once she’s born. The mini Fushiguro Doll set sits on the top shelf of a pristine black display case, next to the tv, in the family room. 

He’s the type of guy you wouldn’t expect to be good at a skill like this then later found out he’s an absolute master and god among men. Toji doesn’t parade around craftsmanship because he knows how some guys have fragile egos. But he won’t shy away when people ask him about his work. Pulls out his phone to show people the things he made with two needles, one crochet hook, and a shit load of yarn.

Satoru, being the shitter he is, tries to tease and bully Toji about it. To which you reprimand and scold him for it. But Toji doesn’t care about dealing with his antics because it’s a practical skill and keeps him out of trouble. Then you remind Satoru that his winter scarf he always wears was made, the one you gifted him for his 18th birthday, was made by Toji at your request. Satoru never wore any scarf because he thought you made it for him. But for you to tell him Toji actually made it for him, Satoru shuts himself up and doesn’t shit on Toji anymore.

Toji loves it when his family uses/wears the things that he made. Usually wears a goofy smile or grin on his face to conceal his prideful yet satisfied self, knowing his creations are appreciated and loved by his family.

[nohoney]

“aah it’s so cute!! no one steal this from me, okay!” you proclaim jokingly as you push off the rest of the wrapping paper off the cute kuromi squishmallow. although you say it with a laugh and a smile on your face, you genuinely do hope that no one else playing white elephant won’t decide to steal it from you. “katsuki look! so cute, right?”

bakugou nods his head, briefly patting the head of the squishmallow before getting up and picking up a gift from the pile. he’s not as enthusiastic to play but he doesn’t want to get ragged on either for not participating. he unwraps the gift he picked out and frowns when he sees the front of the box. “it’s a fridge?”

“a skincare fridge!” one of the girls corrects him.

“ooh that’s a good one!”

“aw, i could use that!!”

bakugou figures that if no one steals it, he can just pass it on to you. maybe it will help organize your side of the counter space in the bathroom.

it goes down a few more people and there’s only two gifts left in the center. but a hand is pointed your way, people making a small ruckus whenever a ‘steal’ is taking place. although you smile along, you’re actually a little sad to have to give up the squishmallow for just a massage gun.

it’s just a game after all so there’s no need to get any personal feelings involved.

“alright bakugou, you’re up next. you gonna steal or just keep what you got?”

“you kiddin’ me? i’m stealing, gimme that!”

bakugou goes straight to the person who had taken the squishmallow from you, giving them the mini fridge and effectively locking it down from anyone else from stealing it since everyone agreed on the rule of only being able to steal a present twice. the rest of the white elephant continues on, most people having fun and being satisfied with what they received.

“katsuki, gimme her!” you reach for the kuromi only to be playfully pushed back by your boyfriend. “hey!”

“the hell? this is mine, you keep yours!” bakugou holds up the squishmallow over his head, entertained to see you jumping and trying to swipe the plushie from his hand. but he trades you, watching happily hug the new addition you’ll add to the couch while he unboxes the massage gun.
