I have all of these extended thoughts on my head about the amazing way themes and character relationships are handled in Iruma-kun and the inclusion of queerness and the handling of the coming of age narrative in this shonen manga/anime

And every time all that comes out when I'm reccing it is "You should watch/read it"

Do it. Go watch/read Mairimashita! Iruma-kun/Welcome to Demon School Iruma-kun

Please.

[PUT INTO PLACE, TIED DOWN AND ARRANGED, AND IS NEVER THE SAME, AGAIN.]<-listen to my favorite songs. VAMPIRES ARE WONDERFUL ARENT THEY. THE FLESH IS SO MUCH MORE DURABLE. SO MUCH STRETCHIER THAN HUMANS. THE STRESS DOESNT KILL A VAMPIRE THE SAME WAY IT DOES A HUMAN. YOU CAN TAKE THEM APART THREAD BY THREAD AND LEAVE THEM WIDE AWAKE WITHOUT WORRY OF THE BRAINMATTER SPOILING UNDER VINEGARY AGONY.

Does Soundwave get to see sparkling Rafael from time to time? He deserves some Baby Time on occasion

For the sake of the timeline of this Au, I am breaking request order to answer this. But simply put, yes. Soundwave gets babysitting rights sometimes.

Little Cassette

The moment he saw Rafael, Soundwave was sold on the idea of taking care of the little cassette even if he had to fight Optimus for the right. Rafael was so small, so vulnerable, and so very much in need of a carrier. A Sire can only do so much for a cassette or any minicon really. Sooner or later the minicon in question will need a carrier to instruct them and to nurture them in a way that no other can. However Soundwave has never been one to rip sparklings away from their caretakers, hence his meeting with the Prime coming as soon as Megatron had his back turned.

It was a dark rainy night when he met Optimus out in a secure location. Both were wary of the other and for good reason. However after a while of tense staring, Soundwave broke down first.

Soundwave: Sparkling Cassette: Requires Carrier Unit.

Optimus: What are you getting at Soundwave?

Soundwave: Soundwave is Carrier Unit. Can provide services.

Optimus was of course incredibly skeptical. Soundwave was nothing if not loyal. Letting the Decepticon into base to interact with Rafael was asking for Megatron to find their location. And yet as he looked at Soundwave, he found himself oddly compelled. He could see the sincerity in the spymaster, the pure desire to care for a sparkling not too dissimilar from Optimus's own. Besides, he wouldn't have put it past Soundwave to steal his youngest sparkling from him should he fail to come to some sort of agreement.

As such after several hours of hashing out the details, Soundwave was granted access to Rafael on a few conditions. 1. He may never reveal the location of the base. 2. He may not use any consoles or touch Autobot data. And 3. He may not take Rafael out of the base without express permission or supervision. They were simple rules, but if Starscream of all mecha was willing to follow a similar creed, Optimus was willing to give Soundwave the benefit of the doubt. And it didn't take all that long for the spymaster to begin making his visits. He always appeared the in the dead of night, never coming to base during the day for reasons he never bothered to specify. The team were mostly recharging whenever Soundwave came by, but since Optimus was going to be up anyway to care for Rafael, he was the one who opted to keep an optic on the spymaster during his visits. Soundwave for his part never made any noise and kept quiet when he visited.

It started small at first. Soundwave would only watch Rafael and play with him while Optimus prepared the sparkling's fuel in the dead of night. Then he began carrying Rafael around, rocking him and playing Cybertronian lullabies as the Prime worked. Soon after he began assisting in everything Rafael needed in relation to his care. Things that were once done during the day like cleaning his growth plates and gears became a nightly activity instead since Soundwave began visiting and took over the chore. Before long Rafael became more and more nocturnal to facilitate this change, causing him to also become more active much to Soundwave's delight.

The next thing Optimus knew, Soundwave began turning off his alarms and completely took over Rafael's care at night. The first time it happened he almost had a spark attack for a plethora of reasons. Did he leave Rafael to starve all night? Did Soundwave steal him? What if something terrible happened because he was stupid enough to sleep through his alarms?!?!?

Optimus: *Flying down the hall and into the main part of the base* WHERE IS MY SPARKLING!? Soundwave: *Staring at Optimus with a spoonful of jellied energon halfway to Rafael's mouth* ...

Optimus: ...

Soundwave: Cassette: Healthy. Fueling: Taken care of.

Optimus: ...

Soundwave: Prime: Needed rest. Soundwave: Took care of cassette.

Optimus spent the next three weeks staying awake just to make sure that Soundwave wasn't trying to trick him and find an opportunity to do something. When he physically couldn't remain awake due to the stress of the day, Ratchet took over his role of faithful watcher. And Ratchet was far more critical. He looked for any and all excuses to call out Soundwave and get him the frag away from Rafael. But no matter how long Ratchet watched, even prodding at times, Soundwave never did anything that wasn't in Rafael's best interest. The spymaster became Rafael's carrier and not a spark could stop him with how quickly the sparkling bonded to him.

During the day, Rafael was Optimus's and Optimus's alone. But at night, the tides shifted and Rafael was in Soundwave's care. The spymaster brought things for Rafael once the team were comfortable enough with him to recharge while he looked over the minicon sparkling. He brought small toys, old Cybertronian Knick knacks that he had held onto, story datapads to read to Rafael, and he even began bringing Laserbeak with him. Laserbeak came to quickly adore Rafael, often rubbing up against her new little brother with contented chirps, much to Rafael's joy.

Eventually Soundwave began his real work as a carrier. Minicon's need someone to bond to in order to feel safe and to regulate their highly emotive mental states. Those that had gestalts did not require this, but since Rafael only had his Sire, Soundwave did not feel bad at all beginning his work. He began slowly allowing Rafael inside of his carrying compartment, and while Rafael could not yet transform, it was a good start for him to get used to the idea of being carried by another mech. Rafael took a while to get used to the idea, but grew to be comfortable being carried around by Soundwave in his compartment. Then once he was content, Soundwave began to process of reaching out to Rafael, tentatively attempting to establish a bond. He would never dare try to take Rafael away from Optimus, but he also would not leave the small minicon sparkling without a proper guardian. After all, if Optimus and his Autobots were to fall, he wanted Rafael to be comfortable with him and thus be able to move on should the need arise.

With time, Rafael came to accept this offered bond bit by bit. Soundwave never rushed the sparkling, taking all the time in the world to bond with him and allow Rafael to relax. For if nothing else, Soundwave was loyal. He would wait for his little cassette to calm. And then when Rafael was older, he would begin the process of bonding to the sparkling completely (with Optimus's consent of course).

So, as a plushie fan myself and being highly considerate of my plushies, I can feel that Bruce and the kids have had some ridiculously comic moments with the plushies at some point in the whole situation.

I feel that at some point, when the siblings are reunited, one of them decided it was a good idea to prank Bruce with one of the stuffed animals he frequents the least. I mean, not that he ignores, just that he's the one that hasn't been getting as much attention lately as the others.

So, while all of Bruce's kids are considering a whole elaborate plan on how to accommodate the stuffed animal or something (like moving it to every place Bruce is, including the Batmobile), Jason calmly moves it two or three millimetres. Almost nothing.

Tim and Dick tell him it's the worst idea Jason has ever come up with, but they can't say more before Damian interrupts them because Bruce has arrived at his collection site.

…

Bruce almost panics because those few millimetres that Jason moved were more than enough for Bruce to consider that Marshmallow is terribly offended by the lack of affection he hasn't been receiving, due to Mr. Tuna being sick.

And so everyone ended up seeing Bruce, carrying Marshmallow, in a baby carrier all over the mansion and the company offices. Even Alfred has knitted Marshmallow a little Robin costume for Bruce to wear on patrol.

Everyone has pictures and videos of it.

Especially since so far no one knows how the hell Marshmallow managed to hit Harvey with a Batarang in the middle of a fight.

(He is Marshmellow, the new Robin)

I owe marshmallow my entire life. Marshmallow is the greatest hero I've ever met. An icon and a legend and they ARE the moment.

Two Face seems (not to be confused with Harvey) seems like the mf to be like " there's no safe spaces grow up" *spends 5 minutes around normal people with actual sympathy and understanding * " Damn. "

Bruce gets Harvey and Two Face their own stuffies; Harvey has a little bunny with grey blue eyes, and Two Face has a little bird because it reminds him of the kids

watching Sweet Tooth and daydreaming about being a member of the animal army

here I am, I'm canon >:3

[usercelestial]

it sucks that shitty fans have made it impossible to celebrate canon queer relationships that they don't like and seem to have an influence on which ones get attention on social media. it sucks that it seems like no matter how much tim says he ignores fandom, it stills get to him. it sucks that oliver refuses to stand up for his costars when they're being harassed. it sucks that antis feel like they have the power to ruin good things for other people because they don't gain anything from it. it sucks that we all already knew this would happen because this show never changes no matter what network it's on.

I usually stay QUIET on main about anything else than is not my art or about my mutuals...

BUT FOR LORD SAKE LOOK AT THEMMMMM!!!!

I FUCKING LOVE THEIR NEW DESIGN FOR THE FINAL SPLATFEST, LOOK AT MY LESBIANS AND MY BIG BRAZILIAN MANTA RAY!!!!! BUT I'M ALSO SO PISSED THAT I CAN'T PLAY IT I DON'T HAVE A FREAKING SWITCH AND THESE THING ALONG WITH THE GAME WILL COST ME BOTH OF MY LIVERS.

If this happen to decide which path Splatoon will take AGAIN THIRD TIME IN A ROLL we're so FUCKED.

I'm soooo fucking sure than Team Past will win but at the same time there's Team Future!! (Of course that is IF its the Idols against each other then Present might have a chance since is Off The Hook, everyone love those lesbians!, or just Shiver VS Frye VS BigMan, then its most probably gonna be Shiver)

I'm even more angy than I won't be able to see the live stream! I HAVE A FUCKING JOB NOW!!! I CAN'T JUST TURN TO MY BOSS AND SAY "Hey boss! I'm not going to work today because there's a Live stream show than I want to see of a bunch of cephalopods with humanoid proportions singing and dancing songs that don't have 'exact' lyrics because is ALL GIBBERISH BUT IS ALSO SO FUCKING GOOD"

Splatoon changed my life in a way that is not reparable anymore.

[bandzboy]

at the end of the day, both sides of this fight suck so to me there’s no “good side” they just wanna put own interests above the idols of the company (like they always do one way or another) so i could not care less about i only care about the idols because they will be the ones that will affected with this
