[peachie-bun]

cried again over bill seacaster dying ✌️✌️ managed to not cry at sandra lynn's moment with fig in this episode but fuckin bill seacaster always gets me everhtime

[justallihere]

AHHHHHHHHH

Before I get into my thoughts(I freaking LOVED this chapter): I hope you find this amusing. I took a post-work nap and was super excited to hopefully wake up to the new update... I then had a very strange dream involving me reading the new chapter but it took a very strange and morbid turn where a lot of people ended up dying in your fic? 💀 I was very confused 😭 bc at some point it wasn't even FW-related anymore, it just had the characters and they were all dying and then i was fighting for my life trying not to die???? I blame the mix of caffeine I had before my nap and my chronic pain. Safe to say i woke up sweating and very confused BUT i grabbed my phone and was very happy to see the notifications for the update.

Moving onto my thoughts (Alli, the way i was LITERALLY screaming throughout the entire chapter) Strap in for a LENGTHY ask. I just love you and this fic so much can you tell my parasocial relationship might be getting out of hand

Xaden woke up and was like "Where is my wife and why isn't she here and in bed with me so I can secretly cuddle and admire her beautiful face and hair 😞", man is whipped

Violet being very grouchy and uncomfortable bc she is in pain and probably didnt sleep well? Honestly so relatable bc i was like, same girlie same. I love how you continue to highlight how Violet deals with chronic pain and how people around her are stunned by how she continues to function (i.e Garrick) It's so realistic and I love it (looking at you RY, some days ppl can't just push through and put it inside a box all the damn time) Xaden is so in tune with her needs, he's frothing at the mouth for the chance to take care of her

“It’s called taking care of you. My sincerest apologies if you’re unfamiliar with the concept.” I FREAKING SCREECHED. The fact that Xaden verbalized this to Violet's face, it just shows how he is already starting to try to re-write the narrative between the two and their relationship

Even though you already gave us the snippet of the divorce convo, I still ate it up, I can't get enough of these two!!!!

Big brother Brennan coming in clutch and telling everyone that she can only stomach fruit so Violet doesn't have to do it herself!!!! wonderful detail and it shows Violet that Brennan cares and remembers. He's trying Violet!!!! But Violet still hasn't forgiven him and I am living for it. Make him suffer girlie

I am so honored that my comment has now contributed to this fic 😭. This will be my Roman Empire for a HOT second. Of course, Xaden was able to deduct that she's good with poisons, its only right 😌. I imagine this is the progression of Garrick's face during this (🤨🤯😧😳) and Brennan has the biggest internal grin 😭 I am a sucker for older siblings being proud of their baby siblings

DON'T PANIC, THE BOOK OF FABLES WAS MENTIONED. WE ARE SO CLOSE TO THE REVEAL!!!!!!! Brennan is stirring the pot whether he knows it or not. I'm cackling manically for the havoc that is about to be unleashed on their poor souls.

Did Xaden want to wring Brennan's neck for talking about the wyvern? Or he is secretly happy that he didn't have to do it himself. I remember there was an ask about how in the contract Tyrrendor wasn't allowed to disclose that information to Violet?

freaking frack... Xaden taking care of Violet will always make me weak. The fact that Violet lets him???? Girlie deserves to be pampered after the absolute shit she has and will go through

“Have you ever considered that I like putting my hands on you?” Xaden asked.  -- I would fold so fast, Violet is so strong 🫡. Xaden is so in tune with her nonverbal cues. She doesn't have to say a word and he's ready to be at her service. Man is down BAD for his wife and I am fully supportive of men being absolute simps for their hot wives

the fact that we get the backstory to how Xaden learned to braid and how Sloane MADE him redo it until it was good???? *chefs kiss* Of course Brennan would do Sloane's hair. He needed it as much as Sloane needed someone to do it for her. I am SOBBING. How do you keep making me feel things Alli??? I DON'T DO FEELINGS!!!!!

Deigh feels like a pseudo uncle or older brother to Andarana and I am LIVING for it. Andarana's like "Mom and dad need to bone so I'll make Deigh hang out with me" 😭

Of course, Violet comes up with a new way to implement runes. THATS MY GIRL! You are a genius for thinking that!!! (unless that's canon then please ignore me. I think I've reached a point where fanfics almost become canon for FW and I can't differentiate them rn)

 "Disappointment washed over him, entirely illogical; he liked the sight of her wearing something that belonged to him." You poor soul Xaden. Its only downhill from here. Emotions are never logical smh

"For that alone, Xaden didn’t complain when he took the gloves, and Liam just grinned like he knew it." I bet Xaden would murder her brother if he wasn't important if it would ensure her laugh and smile like that

geez. if you read through all of this and still answer me, thank you 🖤🖤🖤🖤 (I'm re-reading this and realized I actually wrote an essay....) I hope you can rest up this weekend and take it easy!!!!

I also took a bomb nap before posting this chapter yesterday, I love that we were on the same page about it 🫶🏻 (also it’s not parasocial if it’s reciprocated, we’re besties now)

So many beautiful thoughts here thank you!!!!! Xaden is a simp and he and Brennan are NOT prepared for Violet to find out secrets and start demanding answers from them. They should be more scared than they are

I like to let Garrick learn some new scary fun fact about Violet every so often, it keeps him humble. He deserves to be scared of this woman half his size (and as soon as he figures out that keeping her happy means Xaden will do anything, he’ll take so much advantage of it. So will Mira when she starts spending more time with them).

Deigh has been roped into this strange little family and he’s like “okay this is fine I guess” because he respects Tairn and Sgaeyl and also likes Andarna but is a little scared of her at the same time

Honestly the runes in the book confuse the fuck out of me, I tried my best, I don’t think it’s canon but Violet strikes me as the type to have all these extravagant ideas about how to use them except she’s not good enough with them yet to do it herself so she asks Xaden who will do literally anything for her

[tailoredshirt]

hi k! 5,6,7 for the ask game? :)

Hey, thanks!! (fandom ask meme)

5 - Favorite platonic pairing?

I love so many, but I gotta go TK and Nancy! And TNT 💕 But I just really love their family vibes and the TK/Nancy bestieism. Like, they obviously have sibling vibes, but I also think they are much more than that! I love their working relationship, I love the jock-and-nerd combo, I love how much they've gone through together and how well they know each other.

6 - Favorite headcanon?

I tend to have pretty flexible headcanons bc I like exploring possibilities, but I tend to have stronger feelings about family/sibling dynamics. Like I totally felt like Carlos was the baby of his family, with multiple sisters, and a large-ish age gap between them to account for emotional distance. Nothing else made sense to me and it became so solidified in my mind, so I was so happy to see him with sisters!

For Nancy, I have strong feelings about her family dynamic. I feel like her family is just very normal, in a good way. Parents still happily married, with Easy A parents vibes except more boring and not as extroverted. Older sister at least 4 or 5 years older than her, who she always looked up to. So she spent her high school years as the only child in the house, which is why (imo) she has both only child vibes AND the vibes of someone who has had a positive sibling relationship.

For TK, I headcanon that he has ADHD and is prone to depression.

Also, this is one of my favorite Tarlos headcanons. Carlos is a smothering octopus when he sleeps, and TK is his willing victim.

7 - Least favorite headcanon?

Nothing against most people's headcanons because there's usually nothing wrong with them? But I guess the ones I vibe with least are anything to do with TK being messy, not doing chores, not knowing how to cook etc, while Carlos is a domestic god who gets anxious if anything in the apartment is a millimeter out of place. Obviously it has its roots in canon but I don't like to take it to extremes. That's just not as interesting or realistic to me if it's so black and white. There's really nothing to indicate that TK is messy in any aspect of his life, that I recall? I say this as someone whose apartment is a complete mess right now, so if that is someone's headcanon for him that he hates chores or cooking then I get it!

Also, TK has a job where he has to be awake and alert at a moment's notice. Every time we see him he is sleeping in one place, whereas Carlos is seen tossing and turning in his sleep, stretching out all over the place, and difficult to wake up. This is not to say that TK has to be a morning person on his days off, or that Carlos can't also wake up easily with an alarm! But...we can have a world where TK is way too cheerful early in the morning, while Carlos is a disheveled grumpy bear, and we're denying ourselves??? WAKE UP, SHEEPLE.

[intertexts]

OK. OK OK OK. HI. IM AT WORK NOW SO THIS IS GONNA BE DISJOINTED AND NOT MAKE A WHOLE LOT OF SENSE BUT IM COOKING SO THIS REQUIRES AN ASK AND NOT A REPLY BC THOSE HAVE CHARACTER LIMITS (cooking both metaphorically and literally because it's 95 degrees outside at 9am and it is so so so so fucking humid) oh god get me out of the kitchen before i start burning things!!!

this could be Nothing. bc again I desperately need 2 learn more about cauldron and their motivations and such. BUT. going back to the tide/leviathan comparisons because they're making me kind of insane and i want to give him a Complex about it. because if we're not going to lobotomize him I need 2 hurt him in other ways (sorry dad)

so. this doesn't EXACTLY work 1:1 because there are only 3 endbringers and only 2 of them seem to be element-focused as far as i know. but if we have tide as a comparison to leviathan, we also have MAGMA who could be a comparison to behemoth if my thoughts are correct and behemoth is . big fire guy (he sleeps in a volcano so. I'm assuming.) . granted we also have like. whirlwind and shockwave and seismic who are the other elementals and they don't actually have an endbringer counterpart BUT IM !!!! going a little crazy thinking about like. if tide + his siblings are artificial capes, what if they (or at least he and magma because I'm kind of thinking abt them as the older ones. havent listened to the oneshot in a while so this may not be accurate) were given their powers SPECIFICALLY to be counters to the endbringers. or at least in an attempt to make a cape equivalent of the endbringers to better like... study their powerset or something. (I keep saying cauldron studies things bc I said that with david too and this really just comes from my inherent need for a big evil science team. in worm it seems like they're more capitalism focused but let a guy dream here)

this also brings up an interesting point with Elle who i know u don't know yet but she could be an interesting counterpoint to simurgh? Who as far as I know now isn't necessarily elemental but . neither is Elle really!! and that creates the big disaster in the oneshot bc she can't control her powers and goes kind of nuts about it.

anyway anyway anyway. tldr; tide and magma were specifically created as parallels to leviathan and behemoth, this wouldn't really be common knowledge to the rest of the capes bc of cauldrons secrecy BUT i think ppl would definitely notice the similarities in their powersets and that makes a subconscious fear response in people who have seen an endbringer attack firsthand (I believe in scary intimidating tide supremacy but then you talk to him and he's the sweetest human being in the whole world) . tide and magma both know this and have complicated emotions about it. I think tide has a very bad reaction to the leviathan attack if we are keeping that as an event that happens.

OR IT COULD ALL BE COINCIDENCE AND THIS IS NOTHING. but until i learn more about cauldron I am choosing to view them as my favorite trope of big evil science corporation <3333

OHH U R FUCKING COOKING DUDE YEAH <333

it is. so hard whenever u r talking about cauldron.... mallard conway ass levels of "oh okay i literally Cannot talk about this or else im accidentally gonna say spoilers." but. i DO think this goes so hard & conceivably makes sense for cauldron to do...... man one day in the far future we're gonna have to sit down and talk about if cauldron even would exist in this au. but. for now. hehehe :33 & i will say!!! i will say!!! research is. involved, in what they do. you are not off the mark.

ANYWAY. love this for him so much..... the way he moves and acts in a fight echoes leviathan.... does he have that water afterimage too??? when he's fighting?? because that shits cool as hell he should have it. i'm always just really ill over someone made to be a weapon who never wanted to be one.... tide you have to be at the leviathan fight but you shouldn't be :(((

i gotta listen to the elementals oneshot i have it downloaded rn.. i wanna know elle's deal because you have just said something unwittingly extremely funny & i need to know What happens to her before i comment on it!!!! anyway!!!! thinking abt tide lambert forever & always...

[ivane-embraces-the-weirdness]

We (I) need the characters dynamics between your oc and the sflv characters!!

Your wish is my order (but also my wish!)

Count Alarich: This one might seem obvious, but it’s kinda deep, I promise! I already hinted on the fact that they have a mutually sexual relationship, wich is kinda obvious since she calls him „Al“ and he is the only one who even knows her real name.

They feel drawn to each other because he enjoys her rather casual, spontaneous, „peasant“, unhinged and „free spirited“ lifestyle in contrast to his more stuck up surroundings, while she enjoys him being more of a stable, reliable, rational personality. Although the main foundation– and reason for their friendship is the ability to trust each other.

Since He’s the first person she met after being stranded in the Grotto (I think in vampire years he’s cannonly 42 and she’s in her early 20‘s in Wyrm–years) They started out by him just talking about his life as the headmaster of a boardingschool full of angsty teens and she enjoyed hearing about life outside and vampire culture since the Grotto is boring af, let’s be real!

Part of their conversations is also her learning their local tongue since she’s a german, but does speak Russian (bc her bff is a Russian griffin (who I really neglect, lol)) and since the show plays in Transylvania (I think) and my headcannon is that the count speaks enough Russian to talk about basic things with her and already has a job that requires at least some teaching skills, so it kinda comes naturally. And she (accidentally) taught him some vulgar language (wich is the reason why my version of him curses in every post) at first he tried to rid her of that habbit, but she actually passed it onto him and then he gave up.

Later on, when her business is booming enough for her to obtain the resources to turn humanoid and escape the spell, he even took her outside and showed her around (mainly to teach her practical use of their language, but you could also call it dates) and sometimes to assist him with some chores, once he was convinced that she could handle it. Later on he introduced her to the adults of the maincast as an acquaintance, whenever they needed her help and later on the kids as well.

Their lust towards each other stems from him having something similar to a midlife crisis and her just being horny af 24/7. Though she did tell him early on that she is in an official relationship and that she‘d disclose it to her partner, if they engaged into intercourse.

Lenny: Of the adult cast, Lenny is probably her second best friend and at first even developed a crush on her, wich she turned of as soon as possible, friendzoning him for being „too innocent“ and her being „a flousy“, therefore not wanting him to get tangled up in her messy affairs.

Non the less they are there for each other and developed more of a sibling–bond instead. Especially later, when Ivané introduces him to her kitties and friends from her old life.

Lady Kryptina: At first she found Wyrm pretty sus, since she sensed the tension between her and the count, wich got even worse once she found out what Wyrm actually is and that she had been called „the sweetwater siren“ in the past (wich is also the reason Wyrm disguised herself as an older member of her species at first)

Eventually the whole thing turned into a cat–fight rivalry, wich the count and everyone else caught on to, wich prompted them to give them „some involuntary alone time“, wich started with silent tension, continued with them fighting, mellowed out with them talking and ended with Kryptina finding out that Wyrm might not just be a seductress of men, but can cause gay panic wich manifested in the orgasm of her life and Lenny being the first one to find out. (Bro just wanted to bring them something to drink :,)

They still have a weird, not very close but friendly relationship now and even worked out a little system where Ivané sleeps with someone and then they grade them on their personality and performance, to see if Kryptina is good to make a move. And they gossip… A LOT! But they never cause drama. It’s just them exchanging information on a dual level.

Oxblood: He calls her a Jezebel, she calls him a prude. He started out on the same sus–level as Kryptina, seeing just a young, unmodestly dressed woman, with ill habits (cursing like a sailor), a sleepy personality (her disguises and business instincts) and a rocky, undisclosed, unreal sounding past, paired with the fact that she seduced the count in his eyes to gain either really hot sex, a trophy–fuck or to gain access to his wealth.

It manifests in backhanded comments from him,openly insulting comments from her, sometimes physical fights that have to be interrupted by others and all in all them being petty towards each other. It‘s on hiatus everytime they find a common enemy but generally it’s just a side–rivalry, since Ivané is trying not hurt the counts institution by getting rid of the main teacher and Oxblood tries not to anger the count by getting into drastic measures against her, since he’s smart enough to notice their mutuality.

That’s it for now, folks!

I gotta make a seperate one for the kids (now teens) because this one is already too long!

So stay tuned for part two, I guess!XD

ARIA - Autonomous Research Interactive Assistant | AI!Reader in the Krang Apocalypse

Gen

Part 2

Pairings: None

Characters included: Future!Donatello, Future!Michelangelo, Future!S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N

Warnings: n/a

Series: Part 1

Summary: Donnie is stretched thin in the apocalypse. Everyone needs the help of the genius but there is always so much to do, even with the help of his family and Shelldon.

But luckily Donnie is a genius inventor. Might as well create a robot that is simply there to answer everyones question.

Thus the Autonomous Research Interactive Assistant, aka ARIA, was born.

Word count: 2539

Authors Note: This is just a personal project I will work on in between Dream World and my college work. I just love the idea of Donnie creating a second AI and Shelldon immediately taking the mantle of the older brother. I just wanna write the robot siblings causing chaos while Donnie scrambles behind his robot kids to make sure no one dies. Also i just wanted to take the chance to maybe write in the future Casey jr and Shelldon hang out bc you can't tell me those two wouldn't kinda think of each other as cousins lmao

Also I gave Reader a name (Aria) in this one but Y/N will be used sometimes at some point in the future.

In the apocalypse Donnie’s mind has probably become one of the most important assets. He provides clean water, weapons, protection, and intel. And he makes it look so easy. You had a problem? He probably has multiple ways to solve it for you.

The thing was everyone had some kind of problem.

“Hey Donatello, we have problems with this water purifier. We can’t find the correct replacement parts, do you know what we can do instead?”

“Oh, Mister Donatello! We are trying to bioengineer crops that work well with the destroyed soil here somewhat. We need your expertise!”

“Aha, Donnie! Our weapons seem to be less effective against the Krang. Got something to juice our weapons up more?”

“Donnie, we really need you for this recon mission to determine what the Krang are building there.”

“Donnie, how is your research going into reversing the effects of Krang infection?”

“Donnie, we need more prosthetic limbs.”

“Donnie, medical supplies are running low. We need a proper substitute if possible.”

“Donnie, you really should sleep more.”

Hah, sleep.

Sleep felt like it was only a distant memory at this point.

He wanted to help! He really did but it was just impossible to follow every inquiry with the same priority. Either because some things were frankly impossible at the moment, they didn’t have the correct materials for the project or there just wasn’t enough time.

There was always so much to do and never enough time.

Even with the help of his brothers and sister. The work seemed never ending.

So, as a way to try to mitigate it, Donnie decided to upgrade Shelldon. Over the years the bot made great strides when it came to learning more about behavior and seemed to get better at interacting with people. His rebelliousness faded over the years. Understanding that there were more important things to do and if he can help his creator, or father as he began calling him over the years, then so be it.

That said he still acted often more like a young teenager than the recon bot he was supposed to be. Frankly Donnie giving Shelldon proper limbs like legs, arms and of course hands seemed to have enabled him more when it came to his mischievous behavior. Now being able to interact better with the world around him.

Still, he was reliable and was able to assist with recon missions and relay important information from one point to another in record speed.

Besides, Donnie would never admit it out loud, but he did appreciate Shelldon’s attitude somewhat. Somehow his mischievous behavior brought him a sense of normalcy. Something that survived the start of the apocalypse. Sure, he was an AI and part of this could be then attributed towards Donnie’s programming but still. A lot Shelldon learned himself. Even more he seemed to have picked up from Donnie’s family to his chagrin.

As much as Shelldon helped him out though it never seemed enough. Shelldon was meant more for recon rather than as an information bank to help other parts of the resistance.

There was a knock on the door to his workshop. Donatello didn’t even bother answering already knowing it was Mikey who would just let himself in. If Leo, Raph or April did that he’d make an annoyed comment. Mikey had the younger brother privileges. Not at all times but most times.

Enough to particularly annoy Leo with that fact.

“What can I do for you, Mikey?” Donnie asked as he hurriedly continued to type on his computer. New lines of code appearing on the screen in a scarily fast tempo. His battleshell was laying on the ground against the desk. The design having become more sleek over the years. Though even in the apocalypse Donnie couldn’t help himself adding a few LED lights for the aesthetics.

The Krang were the absolute worst thing that ever happened to the world and the universe but when they do manage to liberate a Krang labor camp they did get access to interesting Krang materials that he didn’t hesitate to use for his own projects.

One such project was currently sitting on a workbench on the side connected to his computer with a ton of cables. Charging as he worked on upgrading the programming of his new invention.

Mikey was now standing behind his chair “We haven’t seen you longer than a few moments the last few week. We’ve been worried about you. Gotta eat and sleep, Donnie.”

He wanted to roll his eyes but his eyes were too busy scanning his code since there seemed to be some kind of mistake. Probably a missing semicolon.

“I am eating and taking rests. Don’t worry. Besides once I’m finished with this I will hopefully have an easier time taking breaks.”

This obviously piqued Mikey’s interest “Oh? Why is that? What are you working on?” He finally moved to his side, his eyes now scanning the code as well which was amusing to Donnie. Mikey probably tried to gleam any kind of information from it while barely know anything when it came to programming. Not that Donnie hasn’t tried teaching him. He never got past the basics with him.

But this was way past the basics. This was genuine GeniusTech programming that can create a sentient AI.

“I’m making an assistant.” He simply stated.

Mikey paused “What like… what? Isn’t Shelldon already kind of filling that role?”

Donnie tilted his head to one side and back, as if he was mulling this statement over “No. I want to create an assistant that can store a vast amount of information on all kinds of subjects while being able to autonomously do research shouldn’t the correct answers be there.”

“So, we don’t have to bug you anymore when asking you how god and the world work, eh?” He didn’t need to look at his younger brother to know that he was smirking. At this point this has been one of his biggest grievances after all. Sure, he loved infodumping but topics like the filter of a water purifier weren’t exactly on the top of that list.

“But more importantly.” Mikey drawled out the last word “Does that mean Shelldon will have a sibling?”

Donnie bristled at that, as well as a turtle can bristle “No! This is just my Autonomous Research Interactive Assistant. Nothing more. I’m building it to give us room to breath to work on more projects at the same time.”

His brother chuckled at his response “You say that but you aren’t even correcting Sheldon anymore when he calls you dad.”

He couldn’t even respond before Mikey spoke up again “Anyway, is that them?” Probably pointing to the slumped over robot on his workbench.

The robot was just like all his tech purple. The head was more humanoid in nature with a screen for where the face would be. They also had a shell on the back. Knowing Donnie there were probably a ton of hidden compartments that held all sorts of interesting gadgets. It was probably only around four feet tall which would put it around the same height as Shelldon.

This actually felt rather short even for Mikey nowadays. All the Hamato brothers have had growth spurts over the years. All but Mikey were almost towering over other humans at this point. This just seemed to be one of the other effects of originally being created to be soldiers to fight in a war against humanity.

It was a bit ironic and almost heartbreaking that this gave them now an edge while warring against the Krang. Even though Draxum created them for this reason he still seemed somewhat sad about that fact now. Though Mikey was sure he was the only one who noticed that about the goat yokai. He was probably the only one who could read the yokai almost like an open book at this point.

Donnie’s gaze flitted over to his workbench, looking at the robot that Mikey was now closely scrutinizing without actually touching it “Yeah, yeah. That’s the Autonomous Research Interactive Assistant. Or will be.”

Mikey furrowed his brows, his hand running through his short black hair that he was slowly growing out, mostly on Donnie’s orders since he was still a bit perplexed by his sudden hair growth “Why not just call them Aria. Seems easier than to say the whole name out loud.”

“Yeah, yeah. Sure. Aria.” Donnie sighed.

“Shelly knows about them, right? Like he has to since you work on them in the open like that.”

Donnie scoffed at that “Of course he knows. He helped assemble the pieces and calibrated the joins while I worked on other things or the code.”

“That might explain why he has been more high energy than usual.”

“I swear if Shelldon touched one of the Krang energy cells again-“

Mikey laughed “Nah, I think he is just excited at having another robot around soon.”

Donnie didn’t respond to that. He was too busy adding more lines of code. Everyone seemed somehow way more excited at his new invention than he anticipated. Aria, as Mikey had dubbed it now, would be hopefully a big asset in the base.

“Anyways. Stop working on them. It’s Hamato dinner time. I was supposed to just grab you. Let’s go Donnie, we actually scrounged up some nice ingredients for once. Come on, come on. I cooked real food after ages.”

The prospect of honest to god real food sounded fantastic. It sounded so good after months of just military rations that he immediately saved his project and got out of his chair to put on his battleshell. It was just dinner with the family but especially nowadays he despised walking around without his artificial shell.

After being caught in a fight without it he almost glued the piece of tech on him. He even slept with it on for a while. His brothers had to practically peel him out of it. Leo then had to take care of any chafing on his soft shell. This whole experience was unpleasant enough that he learned to at least take it off again when he sleeps or when he is hunkered down for days in his workshop.

“Food sounds good.” He agreed as he followed his brother out towards where his family was undoubtedly waiting for them. If they started without them Mikey would probably beat them all up. Knowing him he probably wanted to see everyone’s reaction to his cooking after such a long time.

It took a good while longer for the work on Aria to progress. A lot came in the way of that but Donnie tried his best to work on this project whenever he could.

Donnie was currently working on Shelldon’s left arm that got a bit jostled during his last recon mission. He had to admit he always felt a few trepidations when he sent out Shelldon with others for missions. This time it seemed somewhat warranted since a Krangified human apparently got close enough to get ahold of him to pull his arm out of its socket. Were he a living being trying to set the arm back in would be painful as all can be but luckily for Shelldon this was mostly a thing of moving it back in and just repairing and fastening screws to hold it in place.

Maybe he should upgrade Shelldon again and give him even more defensive capabilities even if it’d slow him down.

A metallic scratching sound pulled him out of his thoughts “Shelldon. What are you doing?”

Shelldon was using his other arm to look at the exposed wiring and exoskeleton of the robot next to him. Aria was still sitting on the workbench slowly collecting dust.

“Just seeing if I can do something while you work on me, dad. I wanna see them finally come online.” He simply replied.

Donnie pulled one small screw tighter “If you want we can work on it more once I’m done with your arm.”

Even if Shelldon was incapable of an actual smile due to his build, Donnie swore he could see him do so in his own way. He obviously perked up at the prospect.

And as promised as soon as the arm worked again and was calibrated to Donnie’s standards, which took way longer than Shelldon would have liked, they jumped at completing the chassis.

Completing the code took longer than that. It took a couple more weeks between missions and work for Donnie to feel confident enough in his work to try to activate the robot for a test. He just wanted to see if his code started up correctly.

Shelldon was at Aria’s side while Donnie worked on the computer side of things. Starting up multiple of his analysis programs to record how the technology worked with each other. If there were parts that unexpectantly heated up for example.

He pressed on his enter key to start up the Aria program. Immediately turning around to see his GeniusTech logo appearing on the screen of Aria’s face.

A few commands appeared. Showing him exactly what programs started and loaded up only to disappear again and a pixelated face in a neutral expression appeared. Huh, he swore he designed it in such a way that it should start with a resting expression.

Aria blinked.

“Hello. I am your Autonomous Research Interactive Assistant. How may I help you?”

Donnie couldn’t help his glee as he yelled out “By Galileo! It works!” It loaded up and reacted just how he wanted when being approached by someone else. There was definitely too much static in their voice and there was a weird echoing effect on it. Something he will have to work on.

But now to test its capabilities.

Something easy to test the waters.

“At what temperature does water boil?”

The response was immediate “Water begins to boil at 99.97 °C, 211.9 °F and 373.15 Kelvin.”

Ah just as precise as he had hoped.

“Explain to me what the measurement of metal strength is.”

Once again, the response was fast “Tensile strength is a value that indicates a metal's ability to resist deformation and failure when loads are applied that pull it apart. Tensile strength is typically quantified through units of pounds per square inch, PSI, or pascals, Pa.”

Perfect! Now what else should he ask to really test their ability to pull the correct knowledge out. What would be a complicated enough question?

“Brah. Come on. They just came online! Do you just want to quiz them?” Shelldon whined. Sometimes Donnie was really confused where he got his attitude and speech pattern from. Then again Leo did sabotage him years ago.

Sighing, he relented “Alright. Autonomous Research Interactive Assistant. Register an alias for yourself.”

They tilted their head to the side to look at him inquisitively “What name do you want me to register?”

Shelldon’s head snapped up to his creator. There was something pleading in the way he acted and looked at him. Donnie nodded.

The turtle robot walked in front of the new one “Aria. A-R-I-A.”

A vent bc I'm resenting my brothers, feel bad and need to get this out.

Posting this here bc reddit's being a bitch.

I (F16) have 4 siblings, 3 of them being younger brothers and an older sister. It crosses my mind on a daily what life would be like without the youngest two (6 and 3). I don't hold much ill will towards the older younger brother, R (12), just the occasional squabble n stuff as siblings do. But the youngest two I've grown a resentment towards. I was fine as a middle child for the most part and content with my older sister and R, but once the other two came into the picture I've felt burnt out constantly. The 6 year old was born in 2017 when I was in 5th grade by my dad and step mom, who I didn't and still don't live with. This stressed me out a little and I was failing some of my classes, but I brought it up only for it to decline again a little when my great grandma died in 2018. When my brother was born (I'll call him B.), I was happy for my dad and stepmom and had no ill will towards him. I didn't see him often though, as in, the 6 years he was alive, I've seen him for less than a full year's worth of visits. My mom didn't like my stepmom so we couldn't visit much since my dad was working a lot out of state, so we only visited when he was home. After a while, we found out B. was autistic. Now don't get me wrong, I hold no resentment towards autistic people whatsoever, but between me not forming a proper relationship with him from the jump, me not being good with kids, and him being autistic and not developing as we'd expected clashed with me. I've gone sleepless nights at their house when I was supposed to be relaxing and getting away from home life, just because he comes in and turns on the lights constantly, is loud, and constantly takes off his diaper. This agitates me because I'm a light sleeper and it takes me forever to go back to sleep once I'm awake. On car rides I try to stay away from him but on days where it's inevitable, he touches my hair and face and just me in general constantly, and his hands are always covered in chip crumbs as he makes a mess in the car, and I only like touch from a select few people. The amount of times I've had to give up certain things because of his sensory issues drive me up a wall. I can't choose where I want to go for my birthday because it has to be friendly to B's sensory issues, and if I wasn't constantly giving up my childhood for my siblings I'd be fine. But on my birthday where I finally get to have attention on me, I can't even choose where I get to go, and there's already not a lot to do around here where we live.

hey love!! i have a LOT to say... so buckle in

one- new layout!

two- boyfriend is back from japan i missed him way too much 😅

three- FAMILY DRAMA?!

my oldest brother has always been an asshole, ive also never been that close to him anyway, but he's still an asshole

and my middle brother is like literally my best friend and loves my boyfriend as well so yk we super close and shit

SO MY OLDEST BROTHER was talking shit about my relationship around my middle brother and my brother slapped him in the face (or maybe punched idek the whole story) so now everyone is like so confused and stuff (including me) and kao feels so bad bc he feels like he started it even tho its not his fault 😭 and my middle brother is stressing out bc he just "ruined his whole relationship with his brother" and my older brother... well idrk about him bc we talk only when we need to

anyway so today like at 12 the fam scheduled a zoom meeting so i can talk to everyone to try and see whats going on yk and there was this big argument between my mom and my oldest bro and now everything is so tense and stuff... BUT ON THE BRIGHT SIDE my exams are done and now i can focus on more things other than math and econ (regretting my major choices HARD rn)

hows your school and stuff? pls stay safe and drink lots of water <33

(omg whenever i ask someone about school i feel old)

i have so many stories i need to tell you but im going to hold it in so i dont write a whole novel

(sorry for my grammar and stuff i do math for a reason man)

THIS WAS BASICALLY A ROLLERCOASTER RIDE!!

i’m buckled in 🫡

firstly: you’re new layout is so cute <3

secondly: ahhh i’m picturing the romantic airport reunion! like running to each other at the airport 😍

NOW HERES THE TEA 🍵 🫖 !! I STAN YOUR MIDDLE BROTHER!! hopefully your oldest brother can see how much of a shit he was being and apologize. Also idk which brother’s wedding your planning but he should either be thankful because a. you’re putting so much effort to help one of your brothers and shut his mouth or b. your planning his wedding so he should shut his mouth…either way he should be quiet 🤐

^^this gets me heated cause i have a good relationship with my only sibling and i would never talk shit about his girlfriend :( !!

eyyy i forgot it’s exam season and i’m regretting not studying because my exams are next week 😢 YOURE MAJORING IN MATH AND ECON??? you’re stronger than me 😰 i’m basically failing calculus rn…i’m a business major basically meaning i don’t know what do do with my life yet hahaha

school right now is basically the calm before the storm, all the teachers are rushing to get everything done before all the exams go down and finalizing all my college stuff…i’m planning on going on hiatus for a week or two during all my final exams but hopefully my haechan smau will be done by then 🤞🤞🤞 and I'll still be online and stuff just won’t be posting and texts/reactions gotta keep my sanity somehow

also it was bring your child to work day today and i never felt so old…

i’m a grammar.ly person so if my grammar is wrong i’ll blame it on the app being stupid,, the amount of times i re-read all my work to make sure everything is okay is honestly insane (if i say i haven’t read over what i’ve written it was because i was sleep deprived)

can’t wait to here all your stories <3 my life is kinda boring rn sooo i’m all ears 😍😍❤️

thank you for the explanation about fics!! if i struggle with something like that again i'll go to you, hope you don't mind)

im glad i taught you smth about fics too HAHHAHAHAH lol im happy to teach you anything i know knowledge is useless if it not shared and developed. you can ask me anything you want lol and ill answer best as i can

right now it's 0:27 in my timezone if you're ever interested. hope you sleep well))

i tried to fingure out what country your from by using this information but it didnt work my calculations are wonky and i have no idea what time you sent this so 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 thank u i did sleep well YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN ASLEEP LIKE ME GAAAAAAAAHHHH

what about aemond and aegon... YOU made them so... okok but i guess i have a couple of thoughts. personally, i'd tell them about all this magic thing, esp since they're connected in a way.

interesting thought... i personally didn't think of doing this (or at least not yet cos i havent started writing p3 at all and i usually just see where i go from what i write vs what i have planned in my head) any particular reason why you want to tell them? i think it's pretty useless no? aemond might respect it since he's scholarly and still believes in magic, aegon might not and if he sees an opportunity with reader he will take it. idk i honestly feel like reader is done with explanations of her life and magic she's been alive for 2000 years she's done with that shit AHAHHAH the only person she probably would even want to tell is daemon, and even then lol i think she'd be fine not to tell him because all the matters is she has him again

i just totally don't see them in a romantic relationship with the reader. waiting for 2000 years just to choose another guy? plsss no i HATE this cliche i totally hate it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH I SEE I SEE NO ROMANCE FROM YOU FOR THEM IG HAHAHHAH i love me a good messy love triangle-square thing tho HAHAHAH also AHHAHAHA IT IS CLICHE BUT ITS SOOOOO GOOODDDD IMMA MAKE IT SO MESSY YOU DONT EVEN KNOW AHHAAHAHAHAHHA i'll give you a real spoiler, i'm going to add daemon's ex HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHA

and if aemond is a really trustworthy person and he's related to the history? idk or maaaybe he somehow learns himself... all these lines reader said before/while/after the call, this obsession with that daemon and maybe some historic rumors about prince's mysterious death, a witch and his pretty wife...

NOW THIS IS GOOD SOUP

WHEN I TELL YOU I WAS SO EXCITED TO READ THIS CAN I USE THIS IMMA USE THIS YOU AND YOUR BIG BRAIN CONTINUING WHAT I JUST SAID IN MY ANSWER ABOUT AEMOND OMG YOU AND ME FOR REAL SO GOOD TOGETHER LOVE LOVE LOVE

I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW GOOD THIS IS SO SOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSO GOOD LET ME KISS YOUR SEXY BRAIN SO GOOD SO GOOD SO SO SO SO SO GOOD

also ok to be fair in my head daemon is the only one that's really reincarnated ya feel, and it's kind of like a happy coincidence or ig an extension of the magic that everyone from that time are also alive as well. you get me? like if anything, daemon would be the only one who can 'remember' the past because he's the only one with the past life in my head, you get me??? lol at least that's what it is in my head, cos like aemond and aegon are not royal, so they can't be aemond and aegon from before, also theyre not viserys kids or at least not royal viseyrs who is daemon's brother

maybe he has his suspicions but is reeeally sceptical about it? aemond invests all this story. and aegon just tries to help him (bc cmon it's his fav customer) but somehow just disturbs his brother poor pretty boy.

thIS IS SO GOOD IM LITERALLY SAVING THESE IN MY NOTES I LOVE IT SO MUCH I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I KISS YOU ON THE LIPS AND ON THE BRAIN AND ON THE CHEEKS AND ON THE NOSE AND THE FOREHEAD YES YES YES

maybe they do stay friends. or maybe their argument is so big it concerns even vyseris. oh will reader tell them?? or is it gust their special bond..

omg viserys getting involved with them T_T RIP THE KING GETTING INVOLVED WOULD BE SO SCARY T_T idk if the reader will tbh as i said we'll seeeeeee

yes of course and suddenly i have plenty of thought.

send me all your thoughts im dyyyying to know them

i'll really try to take care! and not tace kare TT you!! you take care of yourself too!! tbh, i feel really more excited and motivated (?) after talking to you. you're my hottie-cutie angel! luv u<з

i'm honored to have that effect on you i will take care always you beTTER DO THE SAME!!! i love you I ACCEPT I WILL BE YOUR HOTTIE CUTIE ANGEL LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU

[be-good-be-safe-be-kind]

remembering how last year, some time between purim and pesach, texted a crisis line bc things were just going to shit so much faster than usual. and how i couldn't make the words work, or describe what was going on in a way that made me sound like i was actually in trouble, so they let me go after like 15 minutes and said 'good night' like i could just sleep after all that.

last friday night, twin mentioned something that somehow connected back to how we would just drop sentences in conversations without realising that those are not normal things to say, what the fuck, but we're 11 and don't have time nor understanding of the world enough to unpack it all.

each week in therapy, it seems i learn something new about what i didn't have, or what i could have done, and it's all just so much that i want to scream but i can't.

i get a text from a younger brother, alone in another country which is currently at war, and i have to be the older sibling and listen and say platitudes and offer distractions via comic books or whatever to keep him from running out and into the army, where he'd lie about being legally blind and unfit for service because he feels the need to prove himself to his people and prove that he has value, and i can't tell him enough that he is valued as a person because he exists.

i can't tell him at all, because it would sound like a lie coming from me, because he knows i have no self-preservation or sense of self-worth, but he might have bumped into 🛡️ a few times based on very angry texts between us, and we're not going to discuss that at all.

i want to scream that time should reverse, that i should be able to go back and protect him and all of them before things could get so bad, but i can't. i get a text from a younger sibling, halfway across the country, whose partner left him and left a kid caught in between, and suddenly i realise that the partner, that the kid, are me.

but i can't say that, i can't open that door of 'what the fuck, did this happen, was there another kid' because my sibling needs me, and he needs to look out for the kid, but he doesn't and i don't and the responsibility of it all landing on our shoulders instead of the actual parents, of the older adults, is too much to handle.

i'm sitting and drafting an email to someone who might help me get a job and get out of here when i get a call from a different sibling, and hear the parent in the background, while he's trying to pretend everything is cool but the parent's tone and his bravado fails and i'm not going to mention it if he doesn't, but i know he hates me for leaving him there.

and he'd hate it here, too, based on his visits and what he's told me. and each time anyone says anything, as an aside or as a topic for discussion, it just brings back things or shuts me down and it's infuriating but i'm not allowed to be angry.

i get angry that my angry parts get to have that feeling, get to express it, while i don't. 🐻‍❄️ can kick his feet and grumble, can protest and sometimes acquiesce or wear itself out, but i'm only on the periphery. another part of it or 🛡️ intervenes, calming them down, reassuring it, and i don't get to be that. i'm no longer a caregiver or anyone with the ability of being cared for, and i hate it but not as much as i hate myself, and it's fucking infuriating that things decades old still have such a hold on me.

i hate knowing what i know, and knowing this more, and i probably won't end up knowing it and neither will any one else here. but that doesn't make whatever it is any more bearable. i hate being the part that's seen as a problem, as an angry person-shaped thing, whose only job appears to be complaining while in actuality the job is just trying to keep everyone alive and mostly in one piece. which is morbidly funny considering i'm not one piece, and i doubt they are whole, either. but the alternative is wallowing in the bullshit without being able to speak about it, and now that i can, or at least type into the void, i'm gonna take that chance because goddamn if any of this stays in a second longer i might just scream and break shit and we don't need to be the block with two screaming idiots at midnight (shoutout to neighbor person, who screams and then his dog joins in, followed by the rest of the neighborhood dogs and neighbor's housemates)

conversations with a crisis line

reblog don’t repost

[unknwnxquantity]

I’ve expressed that I love my family. I really do. I miss them a lot. I miss my mom. For some reason it hurts me more to be away from her. Maybe bc she’s the only person I lived with for my entire 25 years of living up til I moved out. I get more emotional when I think of her. I text my family everyday of course. The distance made me appreciate them more. But something about my mom makes the tears come out whenever I think of her in depth. Like when I hear Banda music out in public, tears start coming down my face almost immediately. Or old bad bunny. Karol G. I miss her cooking. I miss her being like “yo biatch what are we doing today🤪”. I miss her kissing our cats (it would’ve been 6 but Finn passed years back :( then 5 but now it’s down to 4.. Bria past away recently, my mom spent like 20k to try and save her life but it was too late). I miss her kissing Gray all over (our Russian blue cat someone gave to her years ago who ended up having cancer and she spent well over 10k on vet bills and will forever have to give him steroids) and saying “WE KISS THE CANCER AWAY!!!” She has a special connection to gray bc in the first few weeks? First week? we got him, he became very ill, literally limp. On the verge of death. The previous owners didn’t even tell us he was sick. And the vets would say to put him down, that he wouldn’t last past the weekend. So we hoped and prayed (we’re not even Christian). We manifested for his health to get better. I tried cleansing him with clear quartz throughout his little body a few times. I left a clear quartz next to where he’d sleep those first few weeks. Then my mom got sick out of nowhere and had to go to the hospital. It was scary. There were purple dots on her tongue. Along with other stuff like something with her blood level was low. They both became scaringly sick for a few days. Me and my sister would hear that viral tiktok song from 2020 “death bed” a lot and used to like the song, but started getting scared of it. We haven’t listened to it since (well apparently she has but rarely). But then magically they both started getting better at the same time. He doesn’t have cancer anymore and she’s better now *knock on wood*. My mom views gray as a guardian angel. Even tho he’s a literal menace to society and I’d be scared to live in a world where he is a real life man lol, I think he’s her guardian too.

I feel this deep connection to my mom. It’s second to my sister if I had to rank —it’s a little too early to feel a deep connection w my brother. He’s going thru his teenage phase and we fought a lot but we’ve come a really long way… I do feel we were enemies in a past life😭 he challenges me in ways that really shake me to my core. One of the things he shows me is my own immaturity and a shadow side to me I don’t like that I have to heal. I can’t wait til he’s older, I feel then our connection will be better and more open— My mom sleeps on herself. She’s very in tune with her senses, supernatural stuff, her intuition and inner voice. Premonitions. I relate it to her big 3 (libra sun cap moon— second hardest moon placement to have next to Scorpio and this bitch is always working lol— and Pisces rising. Scorpio mercury and Venus too I’ve done a lot of connections in terms of my family’s synastry. It’s so cute literally all of us share multiple fixed signs whether it be Scorpio Taurus Leo or Aquarius in all our big 6s, or cancer. My dad’s big 3 is literally all fixed signs too—Leo sun rising and Taurus moon— that just blew my mind… maybe that’s y everyone used to compare me to him…..MY SIBLINGS ME AND MY PARENTS HAVE EXACTLY ONE TAURUS PLACEMENT EACH IN OUR BIG 6??? We all have water Venus’ too except my dad. My mind is blown. It’s so cool to have that connection validated through astrology)…. She’s seen some dark energies throughout her life. Very dark. Whether that be human or literal evil spirits. I love when she tells me her supernatural stories. Me and my sister close ourselves off to the supernatural though. It’s better to keep the door closed than to try and find the good, bc where’s there’s good, there’s evil. My mom didn’t have that choice tho, it was brought upon her from an early age. Don’t even get me started on my grandma (Cap sun, don’t know her whole birth chart) who’s a literal witch lol and her family was into some bad stuff energetically. Apparently my grandmas parents ran some kind of temple where they’d practice stuff. The practice that starts with a b (do Spaniards even practice that? I guess so— my mom told me they got into this when they were in PR lol). I don’t wanna put that energy out online. I can only imagine the generational curses accrued bc of this side of the family. My grandma’s siblings were horrible to each other. Shes like my dad in the way she’s a real life narcissist. No tiktok armchair psychology diagnosis. None of that. But legit reasons and abusive harmful delusional behaviors and patterns that a neuronormative person doesn’t operate like to that degree. The triangulation, the deep manipulation, manic spam rants filled with hateful and vengeful words. It’s scary and heavy to hear what my mom has gone through with my grandma and my dad. And what she continues to go through with them. They are one and the same.

I feel sad for her. I mourn for my mom. She didn’t experience life bc she got pregnant with my sister in her late teens. Then me. Then my brother (Aries sun aqua moon cancer? Or Scorpio rising). She was in this narcissistic abusive relationship with my dad for 20 years. It took years off her life and health. I asked her her favorite song of all time in sept 2022 while i working in the city— I just had the random urge to ask her and my dad their fav song lol— and she said it was Endless Love by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie. She said it was always her favorite song growing up and how she would fantasize that song playing at her future wedding. That never happened. My heart breaks for that. I wish I could give her the love she deserves but that’s not my place… and like… that’s my mom. lol. You get what I mean. She also loves dolphin by Prince like my dad. Like my family. She loves her evil eye bracelets/charms, and one of the many she’s gifted me lol is of a dolphin evil eye keychain. I always think of her when I look at it.

Shes such a mess tho. Shes like my grandma. A hoarder. Doesn’t know how to let go either. Buys “just in case” and never uses. Buys in bulk and things expire. The house was always such a mess. Both their fucking places. It’s like literal tornadoes hit and everything’s everywhere. That’s not a place to live. It fucked with my mental so much. I can only imagine hers. She has adhd too. But hers is a whole other level. And it’s only gotten worse.

She wasn’t always the best mom. She was very cold and distant (cap moon mf). Especially with me. She had postpartum with me bad. We actually almost died together when they were delivering me😭😭 had a priest come in and everything. She’s also been in accidents with me while I was in her belly that could’ve resulted in my death. Or hers. It’s like something was fighting to not have me here. Or maybe I’m putting too much importance on my existence🤣 (no bc I asked after this entry and apparently there was a woman my dad was cheating on my mom w who was into witchcraft and another woman in her workplace that had it out for my mom for snitching on her doing something the woman wasn’t supposed to be doing… wow). It wasn’t til covid where she started becoming softer. She’s getting older. Things and regrets are starting to hit her and my dad; a tale as old as time. Now she sends us tiktoks, the ones that are apologizing for being a “bad” mother, or the corny ones “where in every lifetime I’ll always love you…. I may have not been the best but I will always try for you” type of tiktoks. She sends them a lot now actually. It’s cute. It’s nice to see her acknowledgements and her trying to break generational traumas. Her mom could never though. I think that’s why she’s trying harder with us now.

She still disappoints me in some ways. Like my dad. I feel I have to be the one on top of them to give me the love and attention I want from them. I hate one sidedness (not like I’ve said this mad times before). But maybe it’s not just that. Maybe it’s just not being able to access certain sides and emotions I can access easily. I feel the only person who reciprocates my depth and understands/appreciates things the exact same way I can who’s in my life, is my sister. We are the same person just opposite sides of the same coin. I don’t use that term lightly either. When I make observations/statements like that. Or what I say in general. I don’t say things lightly just to say them. But yeah I take things with my parents with a grain of salt at the end of the day. I have to recognize that people cannot reach where I’m at on a soul level at times and that’s okay. I can still love them the same. Just different expectations. Less expectations. Expectations set you up for failure. You have to let people and things be. There’s no wrong or right way of being (unless you’re hurting ppl with your existence, then that’s a problem). Not everyone has to be on this big spiritual journey just bc you are. I just tell myself sometimes that this is a part of their souls journeys and maybe in the next life or lives after that, maybe they’ll get to where they “need to be”.

Okay maybe that’s enough about my mom. Theres more I could say but I’ll leave as is. Lol I love her, she’s my bestie. As I write this, I think to myself… she’ll probably never know this entry of her exists. Lol anyways I get to be with all of them in a few weeks to go to a Nicki concert (my brother loves Nicki, we all do now bc of him AND YES SHES PROBLEMATIC PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE). I’m excited for that. We are in the front of the front bitch! Like making eye contact front. I’m also supposed to go see my old hs guidance counselor while I’m out there (technically she wasn’t but I wish she was) and I’m so excited to see her. I lovedddd her. We bonded when I was in hs over our curly hair and she’s so quiet but super nice and open-ended and minded. Now she’s my brothers guidance counselor. She looks out for him. Me and her email from time to time. And ofc when I told my mom ask her what her birthday was…. She’s a freaking Gemini 🤣 she was giving cancer (she does have cancer placements, including cancer Venus💁‍♀️). I love my cancers/cancer placements too. She’s into numerology tho and the importance of birth dates. She told my mom to tell me about this book she had in her office, called “the secret language of birthdays”. I still haven’t checked it out but I have to soon. I’m gonna ask her in person for her birth chart bc I always felt drawn to her.

Okay enough about me!!! I’m getting paranoid lol.

[desertgremlin]

Giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirl, I feel you! Yesterday was so wack! I had such an annoying day at work, I was ready to rip my hair out, literally. So you take as much time as you need to respond. Sometimes we just have one of those days that take you out. There must be something cosmic going on because I was not a fan 🤣🤣🤣

I'm almost done with Outer Range, but I'm definitely going to rewatch it. Also, you are so right about Cecilia. She is so interesting and I love the fact that they made her religious. I'm not, but I find characters like that so compelling. I also really love Patricia. I love her no bullshit attitude. She really be calling people out to their face and she isn't even rude about it. She's confrontational for sure, but she only be speaking facts. Gotta respect that.

I'm not sure how I feel about Perry. I sympathize. Obviously he is in a lot of pain. But he also seems like...a little immature? And a little entitled? And as a younger sibling, I sort of relate a lot to Rhett because it's annoying to be younger and have your older siblings be the ones fucking up and doing whatever they want. Like Rhett isn't perfect of course but I feel like people are quick to judge him when he, like....sleeps with a random girl but everyone rallies around Perry when he did what he did to Trevor. Like, the role reversal is not cute. And you know, older siblings should not be parents by any means, but we look up to our older siblings and when you have to be the big brother or big sister it's like, WTF? Hello? So I get why Rhett is resentful and why I am biased towards him. But, again, he is suffering because of Rebecca....which has its own fucked up story. So I'm just a tiny bit skeptical of him.

I KNOW I still have to finish Shadow and Bone and Gangs of London. I promise I will get to them, bestie. I just finished my driving class yestersay and I passed my written exam (96%!) So I just have to take the driving test now. But hopefully now I have a but more free time and I can catch up.on our shows! Just you wait, I'm gonna really be stalking your inbox as I finish everything 🤣🤣🤣

Truly can whatever was going on in the universe yesterday chill out a bit and let us live in peace 😂

But omg CONGRATS on passing your written exam with flying colours! That's so awesome and all the best for the test 💪💪

I had a feeling you'd like Patricia, hahah. What a character. And like, incredible entrance into the show showing up in a helicopter and a fur coat. Talking again about the contrast between the Abbotts and Tillersons, it's cool to see the women of the families be the strong backbones but in v different ways.

Yeah, I feel like the man's really going through it but at the same time,, maybe think a little more about the consequences of your actions. Poor Amy's literally just like WTF is going on, Rhett doesn't deserve to have to bear the brunt of it, plus keeping the ranch is already a struggle without all of the murder stuff on top of it. (Not to mention the hole which is an entirely separate insane conversation.) I'm dying to know what really happened to Rebecca though.

I'll be anticipating your messages bestie! But honestly no rush, I haven't finished Shadow and Bone either, haha. I'm going to try to during this weekend bc I also promised my co-worker I'd be back Monday to talk all about it with them 😂

[beasttrash]

with twitter self imploding i thinking about shifting back here so i am cautiously starting with Some Thoughts on film red under the cut

yes!! i love the confirmation that usopp is the crew's stylist and makes their clothes. actually, i think oda might have mentioned something about usopp making t-shirts but i've also been re-reading saint young men so my wires are getting crossed, probably.

audience surrogate jinbe is great and helpful ngl. he's the only one asking the right questions and i love him for it. also?? they did just a fantastic job seamlessly adding him to the crew here. he had so many cool scenes i am so happy for him. 😭

i wanna say the most out of focus character in the movie was,,, zoro? he was. there. like he did a lot of cool things, but he didn't do a whole lot. which is fine bc i think characters like brook and usopp have been out of focus in the manga so giving them some time to shine isn't a bad thing. i honestly think the only thing zoro got out of the movie was free booze, he's happy. i'm happy.

we'll get to sanji. also zosan so do not fret i will be on brand for this.

im a dumbass who paid $25 US dollary doos for dolby digital (imax though, makes me nauseous) but holy fucking hell that was worth it, the music combined with the visuals looked so fucking Good on screen, i can't really imagine watching it on my laptop screen or even a tv. this is definitely the reason why we need theaters yet ngl.

uta gaslights the entire movie and we love her for it. i love oda's "were gonna make cute, morally ambiguous girlbosses" era

"oh no not another movie about a new character from a main character's childhood who we never met until now" actually i felt like uta's addition to the movie was a lot less contrived than sabo surviving a ship explosion, and tbf luffy is not really one to talk about his past all that much so it works for me.

most of the side characters were well intergrated into the movie with the exception of kalifa, i wish she'd done more but i guess there were already a lot of characters to organize.

im so happy they were like "brulee has such a fantastic devil fruit power we're gonna add her in here and also katakuri, sure, the people LOVE katakuri i love brulee she's so funny and my favorite charlotte sibling WEEPS

ok now we'll talk about the Boy.

sanji was a good boy

i love when sanji keeps his shit together, smooth operator sanji is such a Mood.

YES i did cry at him flirting with brulee omg that was such an adorable scene, i wish he was more flirty with older ladies like that. it feels so on brand for him to do that.

ok back in may i made a joke about sanji and zoro taking edibles in context of this movie and i didn't think there would be drugs in the film because of japan's views on illicit substances. and then uta slips sanji a shroom and i'm fuckin losing my shit. apollo pegging me with the dodgeball here.

music, violence, drugs, Woodstock 99 the anime. Anyway

i'll finish off this ramble with Zosan of course.

the pandering was so explicit i cannot believe toei made them sleep next to each other like a chaste 1950s couple with separate beds.

ok i said zoro did nothing earlier. 90 per cent of zoro's lines in the film were just him flirting with sanji and 45% of sanji's lines was him reciprocating. toei knows exactly what they are doing and its killing me.

the shoulder scene? fucking Shameless zoro. whore behavior.

imagine being anime only and watching zoro knock out a bunch of dudes with out even looking at them and sanji's leg turning into blue fire for 5 seconds. have fun wondering what that's all about.

and that 5 seconds where luffy does gear 5?? knocked my fuckin socks off

final thoughts: if i had the time i'd go watch it in theaters again. this movie?? this movie was made for me!! im sure there are a lot of flaws but personally it worked for what it was lol. 10/10.

[gretchenfinch]

!! !! !! (go bestie show ur blorbos to the world)

xo i owe you my life and i forgor to post this bc i wrote it on my phone and i wanted to post art with it

1. Clementine Zhang (she/her)

What Is There To Be Said About Clem. she's autistic she's adhd she's a mechanical genius she's dumb as fuck she's funny she's insane i love her i want to yeet her through a window

she was from a fairytale curses rpg and her curse was sleeping beauty, aka Getting A Full Night Of Sleep which iirc was predicated by her girlfriend being mad that she worked too hard

she has a mechanical horse which she is so bad at pretending is a real horse. the horse's name is peninsula. it only eats oil

she was named after clementine kesh bc partizan was starting around the time we started playing that. i sketched her appearance for the first time when i was with my mom in the hospital after her surgery. she's SUCH a product of her time

she's an older sister and she's forever mad she's short while her little brother is tall as fuck. her brother went away to school for years and she forgot about him (aka i forgot about him) until he showed up with a fairy wife and a Baby

in the modern au she's just a weird horse girl who's into engineering and scoots everywhere

the funniest part about clem is that me and lav roleplayed AND WROTE her and her girlfriend getting together in a dumb way and then we got together in a similar, somehow dumber way. the dynamics are damn near identical. clem and lia were INSTRUMENTAL for my relationship.

2. Dig Iwatani (he/him)

MY SKRUNKLIEST SCRIMBLO i hate dig i love dig he's the worst Twink ever

so dig started because i wanted to do a star crossed lovers thing when i gmed a space opera rpg and i needed an Antagonist so i made the boy's older sibling be an absolute BITCH of a gay. he's the crown prince he's the golden child he's the worse he's their dad's favorite he's willing to commit murder he's the heir to a fucking mining planet (that's why he's called dig) he used to be with the prince of the whole galactic empire. he's a bitch and i love him so much.

dig in the au is much more interesting imo because while i love princes the dichotomy between him being the heir to his dad's fortune AND being gay is more interesting irl so of course i made his dad, and consequently, dig, homophobic. and then his whole development came from @mira-miranha and i thinking ha wouldn't it be fun if he met this very unapologetically queer character

and then we went wait a minute. what if they Dated

and now i have multiple thousands of words about him overcoming his repression and his guilt and becoming proud of himself and letting go of the caretaker role he assumed for his siblings :) i love him so much i think he deserves the world

3. Galle Boucher (she/her)

I NEVER GET TO TALK ABOUT GALLE

she's such a creature. originally she was part of an amnesia rpg (you know that thing where you don't know your character traits and you have to figure it out little by little) and she was a knight and also a homunculus but that party became incredibly weird morally so she ended up becoming a knight of death herself???? her family is cheese farmers and her appearance was based off of that zendaya joan of arc look and she was ready to fuck

translating that into the au became so much. so she's still from a family of french cheese farmers but in a trip to the uk when she was 16 she got slammed by a car and lost her memory. so this weird dutch guy witnessed the accident and called emergency and all that and he felt responsible for her. so after that near death experience she didn't really feel a connection with her home anymore and became a goth and got adopted by the dutch guy who's not even that much older than her. now she's in mortician school, fucking her rich professor and her wife and the most recent development is of course that she's also fucking/dating nadia whom i love and whom is also rich as fuck from being a mafia princess. actually the most recent development is that she and her dad got a golden retriever named croissant. she's also a boxer and she's now on her way to becoming a wrestler. think about that one lady wrestler who's all goth and shit? that's the exact vibes for galle. her full name is gallebrie anne-marie boucher.

there's a whole thing i wrote about galle where she's gone back to her hometown and she finds out her ex girlfriend is now married with a baby in the way and she's taking care of her mom but she cant remember anyone's names. that was a fun experiment and when i know french i want to rewrite that

thank u for the ask xo sorry i took so long to answer <3

[starglow-xx]

(About the brother!atsushi) aRE YOU READING MY MIND MISS?! Because that has been on my mind for MONTHS. TYSM For writing it was amazing!! If you don't mind, may I request (if requests are open) atsushi, still an older brother, but with a sister that's 10-13 yrs old? It's totally fine if you don't wanna do it. Keep up the good stories, ily mwuah!

*sobs* you’re so kind thank youu 🤧🤧

i wrote this a bit differently i hope that’s okay anon! at first i planned for this to be mainly abt atsushi and the reader, but i decided to add in relationship hcs with the agency bc i ran out of ideas

if you guys liked this don’t worry! im planning a special part two for this one so be the look out for it hehe

atsushi with a tween! sister

ft. the armed detective agency

like in my baby sister hcs, you’re still the most important thing to him period

the two of you got picked up by dazai and kunikida when he was 18 (obviously) and when you were 12

for a 12 year old, you were a bit small bc of malnourishment (which makes atsushi feel so bad) so both dazai and kunikida thought you were a bit younger than you actually were

they assumed you were about 9-10ish

you and atsushi both share a favorite food !! chazuke :)

so when kunikida treated the two of you, he made sure you got more bowls bc like i mentioned above, he feels really bad that you were malnourished and under weight

(don’t bring this up but kunikida felt bad too hehe)

when dazai went with your brother to the warehouse, you were with kunikida

imagine the surprise of the other ada members when kunikida came in with a little girl dressed in rags that popped out from behind him

kenji was the one who vocalized his thoughts 

“kunikida-san you have a daughter?! wow! i didn’t know that! :D”

when you found out your brother was a tiger, you were a bit concerned but you were actually kind of excited

you were even more excited when you found out the two of you were going to be taken in by the agency

anything was better than the stupid orphanage

and besides!

you got a tiger for an older brother and a bunch of other super powered agents to take care of you! who could want anything else?

at your age, you’re very impressionable and can be influenced easily so atsushi makes sure to teach you more in depth of good morals and the importance of kindness

his heart swells with pride and relief when he catches you being kind to others

pride bc he’s proud that even after all the two of you have gone through, you still ended up being a good kid and having a bright view of the world

and relief bc he hasn’t failed as a big brother

pfftt like he could ever fail

but please, from time to time reassure him that he’s perfect and the only big brother that you’d ever want bc he rlly needs that kind of validation

with his salary and savings, he tries to buy nice things for you

what a sweetheart 🥺

he saw you eyeing that one dress at a store window? fast forward abt a week and half and it’s inside a pretty gift bag for you

you wanted to try that dessert from the nice bakery? that’s dessert after dinner at one point

but other than buying you things, he sets money aside for you

like all the time

(y/n), here have this, you might need it”

“but nii-san you just gave me—”

“take it”

#1 spoiler

also your #1 confidant and source of physical affection

you tell him anything and everything (except crushies and those kinds of things)

atsushi loves it when you talk abt your day and he can see the big smile on your face and the sparkle in your eyes

it gives him the strength to keep going 😖😖

the two of you aren’t as touch starved as you’d probably think, but that’s only bc the two of you had each other

in your opinion, no one can match the hugs of your big brother

and it got even better bc YAYY he has tiger arms now ٩(◕‿◕)۶

if you ask, he’d carry you around too hehe

you also get nightmares quite often so he’ll always be there ready to calm you down, talk if you need to, and rock you back to sleep

god i love him 🤧🤧

atsushi will do everything in his power to protect you and make sure you get to grow up happy, supported, and loved

port mafia attack? oop he’s already taking you to the nearest escape route

someone is starting to harass you? they just got suckered punched into the next week

you want to go out to have some fun? he’ll go ask the president for a day off

you’re not feeling well? he’ll take another day off and take care of you

whatever you want to do, he’ll do it with you! (as long as it’s within reason)

will always be your #1 supporter! and he’s the president of your fan club hehe

he loves you so so much and will do anything for you; your life and happiness will always be more important to him

you are his reason to keep going

agency head canons !!

atsushi is your big brother, but kunikida is most definitely some sort of father figure

everyone can see it

except kunikida of course

kunikida scolds you lightly if he thinks your manners need work or if you make a mess in the agency

you listen to him of course and in turn as some sort of a reward, he’ll give you pieces of stationary

he always gives you the nice, good quality kind and you’re over the moon

atsushi adores it when you come running to him showing your new notebook or fountain pen and blabbering what you’re going to do with it

sometimes it isn’t even as a reward for being a good child; he’ll just give it to you and he’ll say smth like “i noticed you’ve used up your last notebook quite quickly, so here’s another one” or “did you run out of ink? here have this then”

he usually has a soft spot for children in general, but he most definitely has a soft spot (or a thousand) for you

yosano is kind of like a motherly figure to you

she gives you the guidance a mother should and goes on shopping trips with you!

atsushi always gets dragged along by you, but he thinks it’s worth it seeing you look so happy

yosano being a doctor also tries to teach the things you should know, or things that would be helpful to you

she’ll teach you the basics of cooking, sewing, how to treat a cold/fever, etc

also gives you excellent advice 1000% of the time

“remember (y/n)-chan if someone hurts you come tell me and then i’ll chop them into—”

“yOSANO-SENSEI DONT TELL HER THAT—”

fukuzawa is like a father to most in the agency but you see him more as a grandfather figure

bi weekly tea and gossip sessions hehe

along with cat talk!

most of the time though, it’s just you talking and him listening to you, but the two of you enjoy it nonetheless

“and then kunikida-san ended up crashing into a pole and dazai-san started to laugh at him and i did too because it was really funny but we ended up getting scolded—”

“hmm i see...”

he’ll let you stay in his office as he fills out paperwork; you’re usually doodling or drawing in your notebooks

sometimes he’ll meditate and you’ll join him, but 4/7 times you’d fall asleep

you always wake up with a blanket over you

dazai is like a cool but a highly concerning and kind of high maintenance uncle

frequently takes you out with him when he ditches work

walks in the park, eating at uzumaki so he has the excuse of treating you so he doesn’t have to pay his tab avoiding kunikida and sometimes chuuya and akutagawa, all that fun stuff

also tries to not talk abt suicide in front of you especially if it’s just the two of you alone

he knows that you mean the world to his pupil and that said pupil would probably hate him for putting suicide inside your brain

he teaches you random but useful things like how to pick a lock, how to steal kunikida’s notebook if you’re looking for some information, how to sweet talk your way out of things, etc.

is also the one to tell you that if you ever get a significant other to introduce them to the agency first

he always wants all of your gossip; some of them work pretty well for blackmail

“dazai-san! dazai-san! did you know that kunikida-san lost his glasses and he was looking for them for nearly an hour when he was just holding them the entire time??”

“woah really (y/n)-chan?! hey hey can you say it again into this recording device so kunikida-kun would believe me when i tell him—”

always ends up giving kunikida a heart attack when he says that you’ve been with him all day

ranpo is also like a cool but a highly concerning and kind of high maintenance uncle

will share some of his snacks, but don’t push it or you might not get anything at all

loves it when you compliment him

if you tagged along with him and your brother on a case, he will show off to impress you

“...and that’s how the crime happened”

“UWAHH RANPO-SAN YOU’RE SO COOL”

atsushi is lowkey and kunikida is highkey stressed that ranpo’s eating habits will rub off on you

“ne (y/n)-chan do you wanna try this highly caffeinated drink and this concerning amount of sugar filled snack?”

“can i really?!”

“rANPO-SAN NO—”

ranpo definitely does stuff like that on purpose 

the tanizakis are like siblings to you!

a weird set of siblings but siblings nonetheless

the two of them adore you and think you’re precious

atsushi definitely knows how to do your hair whether it’s long or short but he got even better at it when he asked the two

hehe braid trains are definitely a thing + kyouka and kenji (and maybe even dazai)

sometimes you have sibling swap days

you’re with junichiro for most of the day and atsushi is with naomi

strange i know

each of the tanizaki siblings try to make it fun bc they know that the two of you did not at all have a happy upbringing

junichiro likes spending time with you by taking you out to different places that naomi likes to frequent

like the mall, different stores and restaurants, the park, places like those

naomi does the same thing with atsushi so if you ever bump into them, you go out and eat together :)

besides atsushi, the next one in line who spoils you the most would be junichiro (and yosano & kunikida both coming in at a close third)

he honestly can’t help it; you remind him of how naomi was when she was younger

and besides

he’s always been a sucker when it came to the happiness of a little sister

“would you really buy this for me junichiro-san?!”

“of course! don’t worry about it” :)

wanna talk abt boys/girls/celebrity crushes things like that? naomi is your girl

you feel a bit embarrassed to go talking to yosano or your brother abt that and kyouka does not know a thing abt them either

“uwahh naomi-san look at all these people in this magazine! they look so good!”

“right?! but of course onii-sama is still the best—”

you get along with kenji and kyouka quite nicely being roughly the same age as them; they’re also like siblings!

just pure, wholesome vibes from the three of you

you’re over the moon when she finds out that kyouka is staying with you and your brother

atsushi is twice as happy seeing you talk your mouth off and finally having a girl around your age to talk to

“do you think demon snow can change how she looks?”

“hmm... im not sure...”

you and kenji talk abt anything and everything

he even teaches you how to take care of plants!

sometimes the two of you are kind of in the same boat bc you don’t know much abt yokohoma being stuck in the orphanage and kenji doesn’t know much abt cities in general

“wait where are we again kenji-san?”

“ah we’re close to the ports! but im not really sure how close because i don’t know what the symbols on this sign mean”

“don’t worry! neither do i!”

bonus things!

yosano was kind of too late teaching you abt you know what

“NII-SAN IM BLEEDING IN BETWEEN MY LEGS”

you’re sobbing in the agency’s bathroom and atsushi is panicking trying to get you to open the door

“Y/N?! H-HOLD ON LET ME GET YOSANO SENSEI”

ranpo overhears and cackles making everyone around him confused

suddenly atsushi bursts in the agency basically on the verge of tears rambling incoherent sentences abt the bathroom, you, and blood

it just clicked for everybody in the room

(im going to pretend that kenji has sisters back home so that atsushi is the only one who remain oblivious here hehe)

atsushi is genuinely confused and sort of concerned that no one is freaking out with him

yosano waves her hand saying smth like that she’d take care of it and junichiro pulls atsushi to the side to talk to him

fast forward like half and hour and dazai and ranpo are cackling on the looks of both of your faces

honestly not sure who’s more traumatized, you or your brother

“why does this have to happen” :(

“ne ne (y/n)-chan!~ you’re too young but at some point you’re not going to have it!”

“uwahh really dazai-san?” :D

“yeah! but first you have to have ANFK—”

next thing you know your ears are being covered by your brother and dazai is thrown across the room by kunikida

you know

the normal

you’re twelve and have never gone to school, but the agency takes care of that

it’s too dangerous to go to school so they teach you what’s necessary and whatever else they can

kunikida takes care of math (obviously)

yosano takes care of science/biology/anatomy/health (whatever you wanna call it)

ranpo even dragged poe to help you with english

atsushi even got lucy to help you out with english too!

as tanizaki and naomi used to be students, they give you their old work books and they try to teach you all the other subjects

sometimes kyouka and kenji are there learing with you too!

sorry if there’s some errors! i’ll read through it again later :)

and as always, reblogs and shares are appreciated! i hope you all stay safe! and just in case nobody told you they loved you today, i love you! you are enough! <3

writing belongs to me! please do not plagiarize! the reblog button is there for a reason

[kissesandcream]

a smol sibling.,

w/ xiao, kaeya, & venti

— • request from anon : being the trio’s younger sibling! (separately)

xiao p1 || kaeya p1 || gn ! sibling ! reader || headcanon format || 1.5k words

; masterlist.,

; a / n - i’ve done xiao and kaeya before, but i had some more ideas so i’m making some more! links above if you’d like to read the others <3

xiao .,

• the other hcs i made for him where general, but here anon specified a younger sibling, so i’ll do that!

• “xiao when u come back could i have some glaze lilies” “get them yourself im the vigilant yaksha not a flower picker🙄” mhm then why did u literally wipe out qingce village’s flower population hm xiao 🤨

• teaches u how to fight!! but he’s not teaching he’s “helping you discover things yourself so you can be a functional person”

• it takes way too much effort to get this man to admit he loves you but you know it as much as he does so it’s okay <3

• cloud retainer has so much dirt on him it’s crazy. if you ever need some blackmail material head over to hers. also you can find some embarassing pictures she’s got a heckton

• verr goldet takes care of u a lot too, xiao’s a great brother and all but he lacks in this department called self care

• idk if you’re mortal or adeptus or half adeptus but if you need to eat and do basic body functions he does not got u covered

• mans would try to raise u on almond tofu until verr goldet bought out a food pyramid and explained about these things called nutrients 

• he also doesn’t understand how important sleep is so,,, “xiao i’m gonna stay up” “yeah sure whatever” passing out two days later “y/N WHAT’S WRONG-”

• yeah verr goldet and the innkeeper guy give him a guide to basic survival talk and all through it he’s glaring at you like why did you never tell me you needed human things to live >:( 

• now that he knows you need sleep, he makes u sleep at 8 pm every night like a grandpa!! good luck trying to get him to stop!!

• are these getting too guardian-like and less sibling-like??? 😭 but that’s the vibes he gives yk!! ur over protective adeptus parent-brother who has no clue how u work but wants to try to understand a little

• in the game u can tell how much more open he gets wit the traveller as friendship levels progress, and if you’ve maxed it out he’d basically do anything for you and would want you to trouble him than yourself

• and he’ll probably be closer with you than he’ll ever be with traveller since you’re siblings and whatnot, so it would make sense that he looks out for you more than your typical older brother yk

• plays the flute for you!! if he hears u humming a tune under your breath he’ll find it and learn it to play for u 

• he may not fully understand how relationships work but he’s trying his best for u <3

 kaeya .,

• my other kaeya hcs were in relation to you being close / living with diluc, but these will be more general and central towards kaeya!

• kaeya fits literally every older brother trope that exists. the brother who’s always got ur back? you got it. the brother who keeps secrets you don’t know about from you? heck yeah. the annoying brother who makes u do his chores for him? maybe a little too much.

• pls he (lovingly) shoves all of his small tasks onto u it’s infuriating but you can’t even say no bc then he gets all dramatic 

• “y/n 😩 you’re abandonning your dear brother like this 😩 how could you 😩 i didn’t know you were so cruel 😩” sir shut up <3

• since he’s a people person everyone knows u very well too, heck all the senior citizens probably voted u as second best in law after him or smth idk man 

• hanging out with best boy bennett!! he canonically sees kaeya as an older brother too so y’all def go on little adventures together <3

• ur one of the only people who have ever looked under his eyepatch, diluc and crepus being the only other two

• sometimes he forgets to take it off when he goes to bed and it leaves a bruise bc it’s pretty tight, so he let’s you change it for him 

• “i can do this myself, you know” well he can but you both know he likes it better when you’re there

• does not allow your closet to be anything less than exquisite, you’ve got a bunch of scarfs like his whether you like it for not

• makes u buy his wine from diluc for him bc every time he goes to the tavern diluc raises the price tenfold just for him

• he’s that sibling who will rile you up on purpose just for the fun of it. i have a cousin who used to do that when he was younger and it was annoying but he still adores me sm so i don’t mind <3

• besides even if he does get on ur nerves amber’s got ur back- you can rant to her about him for hours on end and she’ll add with her experiences with kaeya’s bullying

• what are siblings if not for sibling rivalry, yes he picks on u constantly but he also picks u up when you’re feeling low <3

venti .,

• oh my gods he would be sO FUN

• the two of you are the bane of diluc’s existence, venti loops u into his winery pilfering plans a lot 

• venti pulls the archon card if the two of you get caught by him idk what excuse you’ve got but it better be good 😭

• no way the god of wind and song’s sibling doesn’t love music- even if you’re tone deaf, or hard of hearing, music is about the pleasure it brings and he’ll bring it to you

• you guys go wind gliding a lot of the time too!! y’all don’t even need gliders you’ve got the power of anemo 😎

• he’s that cool brother who’s only rule is that you do whatever you want to do, life is too short for regrets so live in the moment and be spontaneous!

• even though he’s older he seems much younger than you at heart 😭 will wine if you don’t do something for him it’s hilarious

• you’ve got other things to do and he’s just “but hanging out!!!” and ur like “but work!!!” 

• it’s very hard to be productive with him around, he will distract u with something as mundane as an apple- it’s not his fault tho bb just has a poor attention span 😭 

• he’s very clingy, if you’re together he’ll link your elbows like everyone did in sixth grade, and in turn u can kick him in the kneecaps when he does stupid things

• he’s the ceo of stupid things so u get to kick him a lot, it’s a mutal symbiotic relationship we love to see it <33

• my brain is dead and i can’t english rn but. his vibes yk he’s so fun to be around, he gives out surprisingly killer advice too

• i have this man’s teapot lines plastered on my wall bc they help me deal with stuff, so if you’re ever down you can always, always, always go to him and he’ll have the exact things to say

• if it’s words, he has them, if it’s silence you need he’ll lend you his shoulder; but there was never an instance he doesn’t leave you better than before

• you haven’t seen his archon side a lot, since he doesn’t show it all that much, but it’s so far from venti it’s a little scary; but in a sort of admiring way yk

• you guys visit zhongli sometimes, and it’s a free real estate for blackmail material bc of how terrified venti is of him

• zhongli is like that long lost uncle who visits once a year, and you’re his favorite child so he gives you candy and picks on venti for not taking good enough care of you

• “i’m their sibling not their parent” “you’re older have some responsibility >:(”

• if you ever get drunk he will hear about it and will come all the way from liyue to i will have order venti’s head, regardless of whether he was the cause of you being drunk or not

• that about wraps it up! im sure i could think of more but my brain is sorta dead rn so this will have to suffice 😭 i can’t think of a closing statement sO i hope u enjoyed!! bye bye!! <3
