father figure prompts pt. 2 (cw: daddy issues)

because like. teachers who have adopted the traumatized gifted kids in their classes as their children >>>>>>

"you need a break. you're working too hard."

"i don't care that you didn't do that assignment i'm more worried about the fact that you're crying."

bursting into his office whenever you're upset: are you busy?

^him: yes. (closes his laptop) what's up?

^me: aren't you...

^him: your principal can go step off a balcony. this is clearly more important.

"you're more than just smart. you're funny and sweet and talented -- don't let anyone reduce you to just smart."

"i'm so scared for the midterm if i'm being honest."

^"why? your worst grade in my class is a 95."

^"yes but i don't want to disappoint -- "

^"get a B."

^"what?"

^"i'm being serious. get a B. that's more than enough. don't kill yourself overstudying for a perfect score."

"you're literally a child. this isn't your responsibility. don't worry about it. just...go have fun."

"stop studying and go out please for the love of god."

Angel Dust Turns Human - Pg2

Part 1

I'm so sorry about the quality, idk what size the canvas should be when it comes to comics, this is technically my 1st one☹️. I PRAY it doesn't look crappy on other people's end💔

Anyways, I had drawn these 2 pages (technically 4ish with how I spread them out) within 3-2 days bc I just rlly wanted the idea to get done already🤲 Sorry if the pacing wasn't that good when I introduced Alastor - again, I don't know how to convey that in 'comic form' (?) since this is my 1st, but I tried😔 (it probably needed more frames/pics but I was rlly lazy).

If you couldn't tell (☹️), Alastor & Angel Dust have some backstory (!!!) - Alastor didn't realize until he saw his human form, which looks very different from his Hell form. The majority of this is in Angel's pov, so this is kinda unreliable narrator, in a way. I need to mention, idk if anyone's written/drawn anything w a human in Hell, but my first thought was they'd definitely pass out from the heat usually portrayed - hence the heat exhaustion; Angel kinda passes out before he could fully react. Btw, I don't like how I drew Angel on pg6 so let's ignore it🙏

Also, Alastor pronounces his name as "Antoní", or An-tone-nee, with emphasis on the last sylabel, which is why it's spelled with an accented "i" - I just forgot to use that when I wrote the dialouge💔

My fav thing to draw was him holding Angel's face and carrying him, Parental Alastor fans RISE✊️!

If I had a nickel for every time Mariah played a character that was incredibly attached to their phone to the point of putting themselves/others in harm's way because of it, I'd have 3 nickels which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened 3 times.

Silver doesn't need another father. He's already got one of those, technically, but the man turned out to be a weak, cowardly bastard who couldn't face his own problems let alone raise a child. The way he sees it, there's no need to set himself for more disappointment. He's got a roof over his head and food to eat, and that's far more than he could ever depend on in the last... however many years he'd been living on the streets. Lance and Clair are annoying as hell, but while he's training in the Dragon Den, he doesn't exactly have much room to complain. Not out loud, anyways.

Lance doesn't particularly want to be a dad either. He's already got too much responsibility on his plate as Champion, and this kid clearly needs so much more emotional support than he feels like he can provide. Simply convincing him to move into his guest room was enough of a struggle, and it only really worked because Lance had promised Silver he could "earn" his keep. What the hell is up with that, anyways? He's not sure what Silver's past looks like, and he's not about to go prying, but the bare minimum he can do is make sure he doesn't have to rough it out in the woods anymore. At least Clair seems to be having fun training him...

Clair is more than ready to be an aunt. The other two refuse to admit to caring for each other, but unlike them, she's not afraid of something as stupid as her emotions. The brat's slowly but surely been mellowing out during his training, and her idiot cousin has actually been taking care of himself for once in order to be a "good example." Silver has even caught on to calling Lance "old man" like she does, on account of those ugly-ass reading glasses the all-mighty Champion has to wear, and she couldn't be prouder. Best part is, she doesn't have to spend a dime except to treat the kid every so often! That's a win in her book if ever there was one.

i also just cannot emphasize enough how much this region depends on asheville for resources. its the only accessible real city for many. it has the only major hospital. its where we buy clothes. its where i go to the dentist. the place you can get really anything that is not available in a small, rural town. its the location of the nearest major bus station. one of the only places that really embraces gay culture thats anywhere close to here. genuinely, if we need something, we go to asheville. i really dont know what to do if the infrastructure there is inaccessible ESPECIALLY if we cant get to tennessee.

How do you feel about O.R.C.A and Order?

Very interesting question you got there!

About O.R.C.A.:

I actually feel pretty neutral about it. The lil bits and pieces we got surrounding the lore of Alterna was pretty neat! But yeah, I got lil to no attachment to O.R.C.A. partially because of their rather passive and neutral personality and role in the story.

About Order/Overlorder/Smollusk:

haha funnee babbu!

Okay, for a more serious answer: I was pretty lukewarm about this guy at first but over time I grew to appreciate it more and more to the point of loving it! Just a silly lil goober representing the fear of uncertainty the future holds..

Incredibly biased too due to the many parallels it has to Commander Tartar...

I'm here to cause drama. Worst characteristics of eachother and their kids?

Nemesis: There has never been an easier question, Hecate, how do i describe it? She doesn't hold herself like a god of her power really should, I am used to dealing with gods of all kinds acting as if they are more powerful or command more authority than they do but Hecate has the opposite problem. I feel no shame in admitting she's more powerful than me but the way she acts wouldn't tell you that. She acts like a mortal and it especially shows with her children. It's honestly embarrassing. Torrington has the opposite problem where he acts like hubris is all he has, if he wasn't Hecate's son he would be dead.

Hecate: Awfully long complaint.

Nemesis: And I stand by it. Morpheus doesn't have inhibitions and it's going to get him killed. He's only second to Eris in that regard and that is not a good thing. I... I don't have anything against his children considering I know nothing about any of them. hmm, I don't think Rachel has the spine for here and my son was wasting his time on her.

Morpheus: Why- You know what nevermind. Nemesis, as I've said before, is far too ruthless. I acknowledge that's apart of her job but it doesn't mean it should reflect on us or her own kids. The thing I hate about Ethan is that he pushes all that aside, I understand why but it doesn't mean I don't dislike it. It's pitiful. Hecate isn't the most trustworthy goddess to have on our side and I'm not entirely certain she would stay on our side should something go wrong. Torrington is so fiercely loyal to his mother that it becomes the same problem as before,it's almost amplified consider Torrington leads basically all his siblings plus members of the army. If Hecate chooses to leave our side we'd have quite the uphill battle ahead of us. I should clarify that 'our side' mean mine and Nemesis', what I said about her is true but she is my closest ally here, she's always been, she's the reason I'm here after all.

Hecate: I don't have much against either of them, and especially not their kids. Morpheus is incredibly cryptic and strange. Even on a good day it's hard to trust him and I suppose Rachel shares that quality, even if it's out of her control. Nemesis keeps trying to tell me how to raise my kids and it's getting a little annoying. Ethan does tend to act incredibly skttish in front of people he sees as authority and it's a little uncomfortable.

was considering whether or not to post this at all but rei was such a relaxing cooldown drawing he deserves to be posted

There are four main types of Batfam fans in regard to how people interpret Bruce Wayne as a dad (/Joking. This is mostly satire and should not be taken seriously):

Fans that think Bruce is emotionally constipated and isn't the best at being a parent but still tries (Differs per person). Don't necessarily think he's absuive but thinks he can be toxic or have unhealthy expectations for the Robins. Can smell the Oldest Daughter Syndrome coming from Dick and have Family Line (By Conan Gray) as their top song on their Dick inspired playlist and Daddy Issues (By The Neighbourhood) for Jason.

Fans that choose to believe Bruce goes to therapy in their own canon. Love B:WFA. Thinks the comic can be cheesy at times and so find a balance between B:WFA Bruce and Please Go To Therapy BruceTM as their middle ground. He struggles. They advocate that Bruce is not a bad parent, he just has bad writers that seem to forget Bruce wouldn't hurt kids, especially not his own. Love the humane moments and scenes he has in BTAS and the early JL cartoons. He may not be perfect but he's not literally abusive. Whores for Bruce being able to admit when he is wrong and for Jason and Bruce reconciling. I recommend Grow As We Go by Ben Platt for this one.

A mix between the first two. Was fine-ish when Dick was younger. Didn't help him in the healthiest way but eh. Still emotionally constipated but that happened more so after Dick left and Jason died. Started getting better when Tim came back but was still closed off. Should probably go to therapy with the kids so they can drag his ass about all the things he's done that have actually affected them negatively. Understands his mistakes and is also able to admit when he's wrong, eventually. It's not easy but he starts to do better and learns to be more emotionally available. Still has to get chewed out by Alfred sometimes but definitely better than he used to be and it shows. Reconciliation is slow and gradual but progress is made for everyone involved.

The one's I personally avoid for my own sanity and wellbeing:

Think Bruce is a complete bastard and abuser. Want him to choke. Hate any and all interpretations of him. Some of which will refuse to understand how anyone could have a different interpretation. Will point out comics where, in all fairness, he is a dick but forget that characterisation can significantly differ from one series to the next, as comic characters are constantly passed around to different writers and have been for decades. Not to mention movies, shows, etc.

Do you think if Yura was raised by someone like Sergei he’d come out better or worse?

I think you wanted a silly response but being completely honest here? Yeah most likely.

being raised by someone who actually cares about his well-being and future and wants him around?? (In this universe where Yura gets raised by Sergei, I'm assuming) yeah that'd do that depressed white boy wonders. It would've prevented all of the main pafl events too, I'm guessing. There's no way that Sergei would've tolerated Yuras self destructive coping mechanisms in the first place, and his main causes for his struggle would be gone, mostly. The main reason why he's doing all this fucked up shit is because his delusional ass had never had a real way to open up so he's convinced Katya and him are like. Bros for life now. If Sergei was Yuras dad I don't think any of that would've ever happened, maybe he would've been even half of a nice distinguished gentleman...

In conclusion Sergei repairs everything you can even use him to fix most of Yura.

Thinking again about the absolute feast of rotating fairy tale character motifs in 2012-13 cyberpunk show Motorcity… In Kane’s ideal world he’s the king and Julie is the princess and Mike is the knight (and adopted heir); and in Kane’s lived world he’s the king and Julie is the princess and Mike is the knight treacherously turned dragon; and in Motorcity Mike is something between a lordless knight errant and the king of a round table and Julie is one of his knights (playing the part of princess in the tower as necessary) (except she really is still trapped in the tower, because she loves her father even as she works against him) and Kane is the dragon; and as a sidebar the Duke has actual dragon aesthetics (GOLD + larger than life, ego) and more importantly there’s the LARP where Chuck (normally a common knight of the round table) is the king and Mike is a dragon who is a knight, or maybe a knight who is a dragon… The greatest tragedy of its cancellation is we’ll never find out what Julie would’ve been in Raymanthia (the LARP). My heart says queen.

the thing about chilshi is that i see it as super one-sided on chilchuck's part and that's some shit he's bringing to the grave with him
