We don't celebrate thanksgiving but we do have a Harvest Celebration the same weekend each year and this year we decided the activity would be trimming the garden down for autumn, part one. My daughter and I tackled the front garden today; trim it all down, cover in burlap and then make witchy bundles of our plants as my girl calls them. We've not tackled trimming the hops yet though, think that will be next weekend.

What about Y/N and reader having a little baby girl. Sukuna was disappointed at first because he wanted another boy. But she becomes so attached to her papa since she was a baby. Like she sees cuts on his hands (she doesnât realize he can use RCT yet) and tries to treat his wounds ���đŤśđ˝
~đŞ˝
I though tumblr ate your ask when I scrolled 5 times and could find it and I panicked so hard đ So cute 𼺠Im pretty sure weâre going with Anya, but I suck at catching her personality so Iâm just going to go with general daughter reactions for this đĽšđ¤đ¤
(Note: I tried, but I feel like Iâm always lacking in the daughter area. Maybe I need to borrow my niece ;-; also, its a little shortâŚ) finally back into it tho đ
Your room fell silent, the cries filling the air were almost piercing. You felt like you knew this was bound to happen. Yuji was a miracle, but your second child was born a girl. You knew Sukuna had only ever cared about having heirs, so in the silence you were on edge of what he would say or do.
It was strange watching him in that moment, she was crying in his arms, he was staring at her with that black expression that always appeared like a frown. He shouldnât have been so openly disappointed, he knew from the start when your stomach started to swell and he hadnât noticed until he touched your round belly. The child in your stomach had not an ounce of cursed energy to leave a presence, much less for him to be able to tell what it could be. Yet he held out hope for a boy, even if the lack of his presence was due to a heavenly restriction, he could work with that. But no, the little pink haired girl crying and screaming in his arms was enough to leave him perplexed. He shook his head, handing her over to you, you watched him while you began to breastfeed your daughter.
âSukuna..â your voice was a whisper followed by a cringe of feeling like your insides were coming out. You wanted to comfort your husband but you didnât feel right. âSukuna,â your lower stomach kicked in painful cramps, and everything moved in a rush. Sukuna was pushed out of the room and heard the panic of your caretakers clearly.
â- â- â- â- â-
The day had passed and he sat outside your room, they had persisted he did not pass. So he sat out there waiting until the early hours of sunrise when they brought out his daughter. He took her in his hands, you couldnât see it past her pink hair and eyes, but to Sukuna she had your face. She was small and round but to him, she looked so similar he was in disbelief you had won over that part of his genes.
He sat there all day, holding her to his chest, while his head leaned back against the wall. His eyes were closed but he couldnât sleep, he couldnât rest, he could tell you were alive, but it felt like you were just barely there. He looked down in his arms, the little bundle of clothes moving around slightly as your daughter moved, crying out. He wanted to hand it off to a servant as his hand came up to uncover her face more to look at her, that was until her hand slipped out taking a tight hold of finger. She stopped crying for a moment just sniffling, her little nails falling digging into his skin. âCome, stop your crying.â His free arm came to lightly run over his little wrinkly cheeks, âmy child.â He was looking at her with such a soft look, the servants found it endearing. It was then he decided he would take care of her as he did Yuji, his child, his pride.
â- â- â- â- â-
Years passed, and you were outside with Yuji. Watching Anyaâs big eyes growing in size as an emperor butterfly slowly fluttered around the garden. It had been a month since Sukuna had left on one of his little excursions, you were curious why his supposed two week trip became a month long trip. But you had your 13 year old Yuji who was laying in your lap passed out from his own Ventures of the day and your 3 year old girl keeping you busy, you didnât feel as lonely as when it was just yourself. âMama!â Your hand kept running though Yujiâs hair, âYes sweetheart?â Your little girl came running up to you, âPapa!â You could see the stars in her eyes as she pointed behind her, past the garden. You looked seeing the all too familiar and burly silhouette in the distance. You faked a gasp, âIt is papa! Heâs almost home. Do you wanna go get him the sweets you made?â She perked up more, âYeah!â You watched as she ran off inside the house singing a song as her steps padded on the ground. Yuji slowly sat up, eyes squinty as he looked around âDad?â You laughed while rubbing his head, âYes.â
You started to get up, Yuji rushing up and offering to help you as you struggled to get up, âmy leg is tired from being in one place too long.â You laughed and Yuji grinned, âSorryâ was tired.â
You simply rubbed his head, âItâs fine, go get your sister, sheâs been away for a while already.â
Yuji ran off to find his sister while you tried to ignore the feeling in your legs. You moved closer to the edge of the garden Sukuna was approaching in fresh blood, the closer he became the more you noticed the minor scrapes and cuts on his body. You rolled your eyes with a smile, he shrugged off the top of his robes once he had realised your eyes were trained on his body. It would be a lie to say you didnât find him attractive in this form of glory, but for the sake of your kids you wouldnât touch his chest and give him that look. It was when he stood in front of you that your dominant hand pulled your handkerchief from your obi, your free hand cradling his face before cleaning his face of the foreign contaminant.
âI see my husband is home, sturdy, well and revelling in his victories.â You hummed as you finished cleaning his face, pulling him towards you gently so you could kiss him. As you pulled away from what was going to be a soft kiss he pulled you back in to catch your lips longer, âMhm.â Was all
He hummed against your lips, aside from the hand on your head, two of his free hands came to your waist to pull you closer. Placing your hands on his chest you pushed yourself back a little to stare up at him, âYour little girl has been asking and crying for you to come back. She even made you a little treat everyday for when you arrived.â He hummed, eyeing you, your hands moving to rest on his biceps, âThey should be here. I sent her in to retrieve what she worked so hard on.â Your head turned exposing your neck to him, his last free hand coming up to run his nails over the tender flesh, âIâm sure sheâll be back soon enough, as for now Iâm craving the feeling of something else.â His hand angled your head away, teeth and lips running over the plush pulse point on your neck, until he huffed at your resistance, âhow impervious.â He pulled away, hands sliding from your waist as he looked away visibly upset. You couldnât fight the smile, âWe should go, it might be a waste waiting longer out here then if we go find them.â
â- â- â- â- â-
Thatâs how you ended up in this situation. Yuji was sitting by his dad with a big smile listening to the story of how he single-handedly levelled another city. Anya was sitting on his lap bouncing along as his body shook when heâd let out a louder laugh or was jostled around with his movements. That was until she noticed the smallest cut on his stomach and let out a loud gasp making all of you turn to look at her.
âPapa! Youâre hurt!â Sukuna looked down, seeing the small surface wound that left a red line of broken skin over his side stomach. âOh, I suppose I a-PAPA NEEDS BANDAGESâ she was rushing off feet pattering over the floor as Yuji mumbled, âBut.. canât dad use reverse cursed techniqueâŚâ he looked confused as he closed his eyes tilting his head to the side. You looked at your husband who sighed with a faint twitch at his lips and placed a hand on Yujiâs head messing up his already tousled hair. âInteresting, I remember another brat with pink hair who did the exact same thing.â Yuji smiled under the weight of his fathers hand.
Anya came running in with a bowl of water spilling everywhere and other things tucked under her little arm. You watched as Ryomen steadied her after she spilt water onto his lap trying to clean his wounds as she had watched you done when your husband would crave your attention and purposely not heal his own wounds leaving you to tend to him. He cringed as more water spilt onto his lap as she un purposely smacked his stomach with a soaking rag rubbing at the small flesh wound, Yuji tried not to laugh as you laughed quietly behind your hand watching as Sukuna tried to help only for Anya to yell at him âNo! I can do it papa! Youâre hurt!â
The screen was cute as he cringed more at the cold water, relieved when she stopped only to become stressed when she pulled out the roll of wraps. She had seen you use those wraps on Yuji many times when he would become injured or hurt. What she didnât see was how her father was much larger in size, those tiny wraps wouldn't circle his waist even once.
When they couldn't, Anya became frantic, rushing to jump off her father and run to get more bandages. This was until Ryomen caught her mid jump, âLemme go daddy! Need more wraps!â He sat her back on his lap, âNo you donât brat, I'll show you something better.â
Anya looked up at her dad with glossy eyes and a wobbly lip, âPress your hands here.â You watched as he guided her small hands to his stomach over the wrap, âPut all your force behind it.â She forced her eyes closed, pressing both her hands against his stomach with all her little muscle. Using the slightest bit of his reversed cursed technique he pulled her hands away, âSee.â Her eyes opened slowly and the red mark on his stomach was gone. Her eyes lit up as she looked up at him, âI DID IT!â Ryomen couldnât fight back the twitch of his lips that pulled into a smile, âYou did.â Her hands clasped together with starry eyes, her stare locked on Yuji, âI can fix you.â

#connie corleone#carmela corleone#the godfather#web weaving#this is...quite negative towards carmela i guess#so i just want to make it clear that i actually really love her as a character and i actually can understand how she became who she was#she was a woman born in the late 19th century raised not just in a patriarchal society but a CATHOLIC patriarchal society#who therefore grew up learning that she was primarly defined by her relationship to her husband and her capacity to be a 'good wife'#so i totally understand why she would take some type of sick pride in knowing that her husband never 'had' to hit her#but like...that entire part of the book was legit hard to read and Carmela was really not that much better than Vito there#so it's kinda hard for me not side eyed the shit out of her when she blame Connie for being a neglectful mom#like geez Carmela I wonder why your daugther might be struggling I'm sure it has nothing to do with anything you did or refused to do...#i'll say that she did end up being concerned for Connie and trying to help so she definitely deserves some points here#unlike Vito's dumbass who was just like 'it really hurts me to know that my daughter is being hit all the time but i can't do anything :('#'I'll tell her it's all her fault and that she deserves to be hit that will surely help somehow'#Vito really spent the entirety of this book being like 'nothing and I mean NOTHING matters more than blood (conditions very much applies)'#domestic violence mention

Chloe talking to Chad in her and Redâs dorm: The thing is I drop hints like crazy! She just wonât take the stupid hints! I could paint it on a banner, point at it, say I made it for her and she still wouldnât get it!
Chad: Surely she canât be that bad.. Can she?
Red walking into the dorm: Hey you guys, what are you guys talking about?
Chloe staring at Red: [Flustered]
Chad: [Nudges Chloe]
Chloe regaining her senses: Oh! Right.
Chloe very bluntly: Iâm in love with my roommate, Iâm not even subtle about it, sheâs just clueless.
Chad: [Almost spits out the water he was drinking]
ďżź
Red, clearly jealous: Oh wow, lucky her, she sounds stupid.
Chad: [Has the most incredulous look ever seen on his face]
Chloe sighing in frustration: She indeed is very.. dense.

okay I don't really know how to frame this. but like. funniest way to confirm Dean is Ben's dad is
20 year-old Ben takes a genetics test for fun or whatever, and the results he gets back are just batshit insane. it's like. oh hey. my biological father is a known serial killer who's still on the FBI's most wanted list and has been found or thought dead multiple times. and my uncle. and my grandfather. and my grandmother. and my--
#and then he tracks dean down and he's gay married with like three adopted kids to a dude who went on a serial murdering rampage against#known anti-gay preachers and politicians before disappearing again and oh hey he's also the infamous missing 'jimmy novak'#and there's his missing daughter claire who also has a shit ton of warrants. and some of these people have superpowers.#not to mention what adam adds to the tree.#oh hey my half-uncle's been presumed missing for a long time and so has his mom. so that's great.#anyway. just think ben showing up in the last season would've been a seriously entertaining way to bring him and his mom back. for drama.#(also. if emma was there. oh hey. my half-sister has superpowers. and also probably has warrants. what the fuck).#and why are these people asking about a mind wipe?#just something I think about sometimes.#ben braeden#dean winchester#sam winchester#john winchester#mary winchester#the winchesters#the campbells#samuel campbell#deanna campbell#castiel#emma winchester#claire novak#jack kline#destiel#spn text post#spn#adam milligan#kate milligan#my posts

Stormclan is pretty cool, Iâm glad they are a direct result of the clans and not Rouge Group 255674385 that pops up like Minecraft mobs at night
Didnât ivypool kill beetlewhisker? Will they remember it
The mental image of playing minecraft and Darktail spawns on your roof like a spider, refusing to leave in the daylight and making annoying chittering noises, is magical thank you.
Anyway nah, that was Brokenstar. Ivypool killed Antpelt, not Beetlewhisker. I have doubts they're going to remember that though, and if they do, it'll be one of those "don't worry guys we TOTALLY remember the events in our series!" throwaway lines we've been getting recently. The type that's thought in her head or thrown out in passing, but doesn't significantly contribute to Ivypool's emotional struggle.
I think Ivypool's actually the part of this SE that I'm most apprehensive about, funny enough. StormClan's got me pretty excited, but my hopes kinda started falling when I found out Dovewing was going on the road trip. I do not like the story that the Erins tell between the sisters, and I feel like they keep getting forced together to "reconcile their differences" when it would make a MUCH more effective story for the two of them to not do that.
See, what I like about Ivypool is that she's grudge-holding and spiteful. I LIKE that she tried to leverage her sisterhood with Dovewing in ASC to try and make her manipulate her husband. I find the fact she tried to sabotage SkyClan's chances at the lake back in AVoS to halt Dovewing and Tigerheart's relationship, slighting her apprentice in the process, to be COMPELLING.
I ENJOY reading about Ivypool being nasty. Both a victim of the Dark Forest who was targeted because she felt alienated, and yet, someone who has found a way to use Clan culture's most unfair aspects to her advantage. She'll NEVER see herself as the bully she actually is, because in her eyes, she's permanently the underdog.
so... I just have absolutely no desire to see Dovewing and Ivypool be "close."
Every time it happens on the page, it feels like it's Dovewing desperately wanting her sister to not treat her poorly, or believe in her, or just stop actively sabotaging her life. Then, Ivypool realizes this after a while and displays emotional intelligence that feels unfitting for her character, and apologizes.
It feels forced.
Like it's just happening because the authors know the fans want it, and not actually what these two characters would do. You get me?
I don't want to see them reconnect. I want more bittersweet examples in WC where family members have irreconcilable differences, but now and then, there's that little twinge of love, that old spark that you pray, THIS time, could become a fire... but it doesn't. There's just nothing left to burn.
TL;DR I'm feeling overall meh about Ivypool's Heart but looking forward to seeing what StormClan's all about.
#I saw a spoiler that there's apparently a moment where Dove and Ivy bond over having dead children and it made me go ughhh#i dont want to read about dead babies bringing the moms closer together#like. if anything i'd want dove to feel lowkey insulted that ivy would try to compare them#Especially with canon circumstances. Bris being an accomplished warrior who chose to end the impostor's tyranny with a mighty sacrifice#while rowan was a toddler who died of treatable illness because no one would DO anything about river's tumult.#after those times ivy tried to leverage the code and clan culture to drive a wedge between dove and tiger#like. Your daughter was an adult WAR HERO and now that it suits you you're going to try and use her death to say you understand--#what IM going through??#you have NO IDEA what im going through actually and you never did!#LIKE#LET MY GIRLS BE MESSY PLEASE. LET THEM HAVE COMPLICATED EMOTIONS#NOT ALL FAMILY RECONCILES COME ONN#bone babble#ivypool's heart spoilers

I see people talking about âoh Phillipa and Prudence are racing to produce an heir, and so far Penelope is winningâ and âwhat if Prudence and Phillipa both have daughters and Penelope is the one to have a sonâ and I raise you:
Penelope has twins.
Because THINK abt it. Bridgerton has messed with birth order/child names before (see Daphne and August) so itâs possible for this case (ie: making Agatha and Thomas twins instead)
But just. Imagine the chaos. Imagine Penelopeâs family brushing aside the idea that Pen is even pregnant, or telling her âyouâre so sick because youâre having a girlâ or some other nonsense. Imagine her sisters still havenât had their children. Imagine Penelope gives birth and of course half the Bridgertons are there in support and Penelopeâs own family arrive late after the birth. And Portia gets told that Yes, you do have a granddaughter.
And a grandson.
And then you cut to Colin and Pen holding their girl and boy respectively (I refuse to believe Agatha wont have Colin wrapped around her little finger within 5 minutes of her being born, and you know sweet boy Thomas has Pens entire heart) and Portia, Prudence, and Phillipa have to come to terms with the fact that not only did Penelope beat them in the race to have a child, she had TWO
#also just#girldad Colin#Colin who sees his tiny red headed daughter and is over the moon#the bridgerton clan who could not care Less about what gender their kids are losing their mind over twins#Violet who is so over the moon at the prospect of twin grandkids learning how to hold both at the same time#Anthony just being The Most excited uncle you can imagine bc pen is his fifth sister and he loves the twins already#Kate and Eloise being The Most excited aunts ever#Penelope being able to cuddle her lil baby boy and knowing heâs gonna grow up soft and sweet like his dad#and her sisters and mom FUMING because Penelope once again wins#penelope featherington#polin#colin bridgerton#colin/penelope#bridgerton#bridgerton spoilers

So, I was thinking about something in LOK.
You know the Earth Queen Hou-Ting? You know, the woman who secluded airbenders and that Zaheer killed?
This one?
Well, as you all may know, sheâs King Kueiâs only daughter.
Iâm sure you all remember King Kuei, the puppet king with the bear.
This guy.
Well, I made some calculus. He mustâve been in his early/mid 20s in ATLA. And his daughter had to be in her 50s/early 60s when she died.
In the meantime, Zuko is 87/88 in 171AG, when LOK3 takes place. Since his daughter is commonly believed to be around Bumi and Kyaâs age, Iâd speculate that sheâs around 60 in her appearance in LOK4, in 174AG and when Zuko is 90 (Tenzin is 51 in 170AG and Kya is roughly 4 years older than him, so Izumi must be between 5 and 7 years older than him, which places her in a range between 60 and 62 years old).
(See? Roughly the same age)
So, my point? I think during their diplomatic visits, Zuko and Kuei had to spend a lot of time in each otherâs company because, monarch stuff. And given that they were both heirs to their respective thrones, Izumi and Hou-Ting had to spend a lot of time together.
I donât know why, but I imagine those two having the wildest, silliest yet most hateful beef as teens. And given Hou-Tingâs despicable behavior and authoritarian politic in contrast to what shown of Izumi, a rational leader who cares for her people, I am even more convinced that those two despised each other.
So yeah, I canât stop picturing Izumi and Hou-Ting insulting the crap out of each other while saving face in front of the subjects. And I canât stop laughing
#Zuko#fire lord zuko#Izumi#Izumi atla#fire lord Izumi#princess Izumi#earth queen#hou ting#earth queen hou ting#king kuei#earth kingdom#fire nation#headcanon#hc#atla#avatar the last airbender#lok#legend of Korra#I also can imagine a scene going like this:#Izumiâs daughter: mom have you heard? the earth queen has been killed?#Izumi while drinking her tea: about damn time

I very firmly believe that Chilchuck was the responsible âmomâ parentâ˘ď¸. Like everything we know about his wife, plus how Fler and Patty act (probably more similar to his wife, especially Fler. Patti seems very middle ground - both very spontaneous and fly by the seat of their pants) vs Mei (who we know the most similar to him - the only really responsible one)
May be why heâs so grumpy too
#dungeon meshi#chilchuck#chilwife#beabell#I just feel like itâs high time we had a âirresponsible fun parentâ and itâs the mom#Why are all of her characterizations so serious and like. Somber#Same lady who had a shotgun wedding and is now seemingly unemployed living with her adult daughters#Who all have jobs#Does she have a job? What has she even been doing with her life??

While, I donât hate the women that express âdoomerâ ideology, I do think itâs Really Bad for a wide range of reasons. One of the most important of which is the all or nothing type of valuation it places on resistance, we either destroy all patriarchy, or weâre all doomed, and the way it negates our power as living breathing adult women to do anything at all the change our circumstances, because I canât change all of it-I change nothing instead.
There are thousands of women on this website that are alive right now who want a better world-do you seriously believe none of our efforts, do you believe the efforts of all the women whoâve ever lived amount to nothing just because we havenât achieved a post-patriarchal society? Think about all the ways womenâs resistance, big and small, has nurtured you-even before feminism was a thought in your head. Did that not matter to you? Did it not help protect you? To warn you? To feed your soul? Not enough of course, but all of that effort was enough to make you brave enough to dig for answers, to not immediately give in to all that was expected of you, to find a place here on this website, surely. It did matter, even just hearing or seeing something that made you feel seen for the first time in your life-that does matter.
I think one of patriarchyâs most pernicious effects is the way it corrupts intimacy between women. We are trained to play act images of women that men create through media and social control we end up worrying if weâre successful in our impersonation of this being we call âwomanâ always trying to be nice enough, tidy enough, small enough etcâŚand disrupts our images of womanâs actual humanity and personhood. Remember how crazy you felt before you discovered feminism, imagine all the other women and girls who already do and will one day feel like you. You thought no other woman was like you, until one day you went to a secret place, somewhere men didnât control, and discovered, it wasnât true.
Womenâs ability to resist patriarchy is a gift to us, it lets us know, even hundreds of years into the future, that we have never really been alone. Women who acted out to the point of being disciplined via religious, psychiatric or state institutions. Women who worked in secret as men to be able to write, create, make and live independently. Women who pushed politically for their rights. Even just women who survived and gained power for themselves in environments that were hostile to it. They all gave us a gift and that gift is the knowledge that they were alive, they mattered and they didnât like it-they werenât these images of women that men created-they were human, just like us. More than just giving us comfort, these big and small acts of resistance allow us to more fully understand not only the totality of what weâre up against-but also to appreciate the incredible fortitude of women who persisted against incredible odds. They didnât know what their fates were going to be either and it probably felt as bleak, if not more, than it does right now. We can find women like this in the historical record, even if Big Patriarchy is still around.
Itâs true that individually we donât have a lot of control over the Really Big Historical Picture, but the good news is we donât have to-we just need to control our slice of it. There are so many women just waiting to find women like us, there are girls growing up who need to see us to know that theyâre not alone and that there is a community of women who feel like them and who are worth fighting for. Focus on making yourself visible as a human being to the women around you, on trying to make a mark big enough so that women in the future can find you. We are alive and we matter-and I really think this is enough. Itâs a very worthy effort to live by and for other women and usefully itâs also a really critical step in building solidarity, so even if some of us get crazy ideas about doing something to change the Big Historical Picture, theyâll have a much better chance of achieving it.
#watch me write the exact same essay about having daughters ahahaAHAHAHA I hate antinatalism#how is it that my mom almost killed me a million times (exageration)#and Im the one getting weepy eyed about babies and female solidarity#radblr#radical feminism#radical feminist#char on char

Shout out the complex relationship between trans men and their mothers one time because that shit can be crazy
#My relationship with my mom thankfully settled to being good in the last few years#But god it was a long road#She once cried about how she thought she was raising a feminist daughter and not a rude man#And I was like y'know in middle school and wearing a my little pony T-shirt at the time#Trans man#transmasculine#Transgender#transandrophobia

Brent knew Madison was the love of his life since she saved him from his almost laughable death at a restaurant, so... he proposed to her and she said yes!! + they went to a restaurant with friends to tell the news and guess what? Eden and Tyler are engaged as well and invited all of them for the wedding!
+bonus pics!!
Eden and Bella didn't like the food at all as you can see in the pics.. oopsie...
#madi saving him from death was when he knew she was the one and ever since he wanted to propose to her but waited for the perfect time!#also madi's mom moira gave him the blessing to marry her daughter so that's why he did it now!!#ts4#ts4 gameplay#madison&brent

One of the main reasons why I used to avoid Isekaiâs, and fantasy works in general, like the plague is because of how over saturated theyâd become with things that didnât feel like they even belonged to the genre to begin with⌠itâs not too hard to find works that stand out but so much of those works have been pushed down and forgotten, it just sucks.
#one of the many reasons why fantasy in general outside of a few things has never stuck with me or have even been a go to genre to engage#with if it was simply just that and nothing else added to subvert the genres đ§đžââď¸#at least enough for me to enjoy myself⌠and Iâm an insanely picky person too soâŚ#isekaiâs really did get turned into incel shit and sm of them are pedo/incest pandering as well#the amount of times Iâve run into an isekai where the warrior ends up marrying his daughter at the end of the series-#never got over that one where the son was falling in love with his mom bro that series couldâve been so fun#and a lot of the scenes with them would have them almost appearing as though they were a couple⌠the Romantic scene on the beach đŠâŚ#kms rn-#and sm fantasty stuff is full of assault as well because they want to be like berserk so badly uhhh#itâs kinda crazy#rambling#Iâm mostly desensitized to a lot of this stuff in fiction depending on how theyâre presented but I usual usually scroll by/read the things#as quickly as possible just to get done with it#I donât rly skip most things tbh :(#DM is refreshing though itâs very charming and colorful#I donât have much to say for frieren since I never really cared to get into it but Iâm sure itâs endearing for most
