Hot Royal Debut: Meet the Mysterious Man Spotted at Prince Erik’s Memorial Service

Here’s everything we know about Prince Jakob’s handsome new caretaker.

All eyes were on the little Prince Jakob during the annual memorial service for the late Prince Erik yesterday, undoubtedly, but a new member to the royal household has also captured hearts around the nation - Prince Jakob’s nanny who made his first public appearance at the event.

The annual event has always been a somber affair for the Royal Family, but especially after the turbulent year the family had, with Princess Alma’s tragic passing, the entirety of Sweden is anxious to finally see Prince Jakob again at what would be his first official outing since the passing of his mother.

Prince Jakob donned a smart Stefano Ricci suit (get the look here for 19,000SEK) for the event, quietly emotional throughout the service where he sat in the lap of his newest babysitter, Simon Eriksson, right next to his father Crown Prince Wilhelm. Prince Jakob seems to have already formed a trusted bond with Eriksson, who reportedly started his role merely a month ago - he held the little prince’s hand throughout the duration of the service and was able to keep the tears at bay, despite Prince Jakob’s well known tumultuous temper.

Eriksson clearly has quickly become an adored member of the royal family, as seen here sharing smiles with Crown Prince Wilhelm and Prince Jakob during a private moment visiting late Prince Erik’s grave at the Royal Cemetery, and Eriksson soothing the young prince in a heartwarming display of soft affection.

Prince Jakob’s newest nanny has been the hot topic in royal news since yesterday - admiring the young man’s dashing looks aside, many commentators on social media are also charmed by his abilities to cheer up the notoriously moody little prince.

Not much is known about Simon Eriksson so far - here is Eriksson dressed in a smart but understated Burberry coat, a down-to-earth beanie hat, and a scarf of a similar style to Crown Prince Wilhelm’s usual attire to his royal debut yesterday. Being the first male caretaker to a young heir of the Swedish Royal Family, Eriksson is certainly an unusual addition to the household, also standing out with his natural hairstyle, a fresh renewal from the usual military style grooming that royal nannies were historically subjected to.

Crown Prince Wilhelm and the late Princess Alma were hands-on parents with a modern approach, and departing from the tradition to hire expatriate nannies hailing from renowned childcare academies across Europe, Simon Eriksson is a local graduate from Stockholm University, with experience in child psychology and early education. Sources say that Eriksson graduated top of his class and always received praises from all of his work placements, at prestigious institutes or otherwise.

Whilst Eriksson does not have the same elite education as traditional royal nannies do, he is a bilingual native speaker of Spanish and would no doubt be a great asset for Prince Jakob to follow in his father’s footsteps, who speaks five languages. The four-year-old little prince apparently can already count up to 100 in Spanish.

Eriksson’s background seems unorthodox within the royal household’s track record, but impressively he has been able to keep up with the difficult task of supporting the newly widowed Crown Prince Wilhelm and keeping the young Prince Jakob on his best royal behaviour - not a small feat when Prince Jakob has reportedly cycled through multiple caretakers during his mourning period. He must be as charming as his strikingly good looks advertise if Crown Prince Wilhelm’s smiley break from the solemn day is anything to go by.

From the royal laughs we took a glimpse of yesterday, it’s not hard to deduce that we will be seeing much more of the young and attractive nanny at more functions in the future, as quickly formed fans of the new royal gentleman rejoice.

[notherpuppet]

Can we have a TIIIIINY spoiler

lol okay (I’m just gonna assume u mean my deer nanny?)

Honestly idk when i’ll articulate this short comic that takes place in the au. But it’s called “Bises”

[things-arent-what-they-seem66]

Hell Nanny AU.

Lilith: We got you a new nanny Char.

Charlie: What’s a nanny?

Lilith: Someone who takes care of you baby. His name is… Adam. We’ll meet him now. But, I want you to know something first.

Charlie: What is it???

Lilith: He will address you as either “Your majesty”, “Your highness” or “Princess”. Okay? Feel free to correct him if he makes a mistake.

Charlie, confused and disturbed: Okay mommy…

Later

Adam: Here you go your…

Charlie: I don’t want this.

Adam: What?

Charlie: I don’t want you to call me your highness. Or your majesty. Or Princess.

Adam: Oh. Then what do you want me to call you?

Charlie: Charlie!

Adam, chuckles: Okay, Charlie.

(I know Lilith said Charlie will choose how she wants to be addressed but no one told me Lilith didn’t mess with the child’s head lol)

GET OUT OF MY WALLS LMAO

Yes Lilith would do this but Charlie is having none of it

[fanofstuff01]

Okay so I feel like it's been a hot minute since I've talked about my Hell Nanny Au.

Another au where I torture Adam, yay!

I just need some inspiration cause the basic idea is Lucifer falling in love again with Adam watching him take care of Charlie. Though he never stopped loving him to begin with.

Lilith is a raging bitch in this just treating Adam like shit.

Yay!

I missed it too! I was just trying to find smth to send you lol

An inspiration for this, hmm…

As if, a continuation to the current fic or just to make it deeper?? Because I have more of the second but I think they can apply to the first as well, even though it might seem a little off for the fic to continue from these and why am I still typing I should just tell you.

My ideas:

Oh Steve. Fucking Steve.

Maybe Steve’s a servant at the mansion? And Adam caught his attention? It can be positive or negative, your choice. But he flirts with Adam either way. This can make a small filler.

You can add Eve and have her confront Lucifer about Adam.

You can make the Roo and apple plot canon, if it isn’t. It would be great to see Adam struggle with his wrecked memory and brain.

The fic may continue from Steve, I don’t know.

[river-mort]

Hi I love your mohg/rhadan art very much it’s my favorite thing. I also love your Morgott art a LOT. I love your more serious style and it brings such joy to my heart to see your art of the twins and little things about their relationship dynamic, that’s one thing that kills me about the game is we never get to see mohg & Morgott interact.

If you have any silly/angsty headcanons for rhadan/mohg I’d love to hear them. Or ones for the twins too for that matter.

i wish i drew more serious art it's just too much silly ideas occupied my head. I hate being the clown all the time it's my curse - being funny.

And thank you to ask question about some stuff I hc or draw. Last time I received such question was....years ago I feel

I'm also glad to intoxicate people into radmohg its such a funny and sweet ship. It's so sweet that I can't even come with any angst for it. They both might have their own sad stories they deal with (sometimes together) but something rough between them? They two has their own worldview and plans but they never confront each other. If someone disagree they just..... Don't talk about it? So You're a blood cultists? Okay just leave my army alone ok? They make some agreements and keep living. In fact I think it's impossible to make Radahn feel strong emotions - hate, anger anything. He is a big man of accepting and compromise when it's about relationship (not only romantic). He might be emotional on the battlefield and it's the only place when he can be rough but when it's a calm life he is as calm as capibara. He is a simple positive man. He is such a Kronk coded character to me lol, even if you throw a table at you it will just break and he will be like you okay? You seem sad :( . On mohg side, even being quite a self centered man, he somehow respect Radahn's personal space and decisions. He doesn't force him to follow his lead or do as be say - unless it's something small like carrying him in the top of the tower. But with Radahn everything is new to mohg - before he would never care about anyone in any way. He doesn't care for others opinions, decisions and desires. With Radahn he is unbelievably tolerant and sweet. From other side it actually looks like pretending and Morgott was absolutely sure that Mohg is up to something. Even Mohg himself thought he was up to something - he just didn't know what exactly he would possibly need from this man. During first period mohg acted so fun while pretending he doesn't care for Radahn and just want to use him for SOMETHING while actually he was simply interested in him. That's all. He was like no I don't care that he doesn't answer my letter for second day already and u walk around this room nervously because I think about other matters and definitely not because of that one specific. I don't care for him. At all. And morgott is like okay but I didn't ask?

With mohg and morgott on the other hand there's pretty much angst. And I'm not even talking about their different worldview and religions - that's quite obvious. Saying about headcanons I like to think that mohg has soft spot for his brother - too soft I would say. Being ruthless and cunning, he could've already get the leyndell throne even without killing his brother (which he always say he CAN do but no. He can't), but instead he actively helps Morgott rule, in mimic veil au he even becomes his advisor but basically he's a nanny - he forces him to wake up, to go on meetings, to do his duties which morgott due his strong, I mean strong, depression doesn't want to do at all. He didn't ask mohg to help and sometimes he doesn't even like mohg being around but mohg still do it - which probably makes some of his followers question his decisions and his promises. But mohg can'thelp himself. When he knows morgott will have some meetings HE is nervous because he knows how hard it for his brother.

Talking about angst I also like the idea based on my personal experience - some people can't be your therapists. They shouldn't at all but if they will they can't help you on a professional level which is what happened between these two - mohg has NO idea how to help his brother who is drowning in self hate. He is here in the time of need but he can't offer anything special. And in morgott case some simple support words and presence is barely enough to survive through some of his states of mind. I think sometimes mohg is exhausted. Based on my experience when some person you talk to is ALWAYS depressed and self hating unstoppable you just.... Give up at some point. And I think sometimes mohg is quite close to this. Of course he won't but it feels like you hitting a wall with your head constantly. Pointless

But talking about positive hc I think instead of open conflict they just tend to make fun on each other. You know, all these cocky comments ir sarcasm with all this "at least I don't serve some his ass tree that doesn't even answer" And they start fighting. Just two stupid boys. I don't have siblings but I think lots of memes about siblings relationship would suit them

Also Morgott and Radahn will find a way to communicate. I think Radahn is actually respect morgott for his skills at fighting and for morgott Radahn is just.... An okay guy. He doesn't try to take the throne or destroy city. I think they would even become sports companions because I think that morgott likes doing sports. It's his only hobby

[stizzysupremacy]

okay. Okay so. This is ridiculous but. The idea won’t get out of my brain ever since I started rewatching an old sitcom:

Izzy Hands as The Nanny

no no hear me out.

Izzy works in his bf Ed’s tailor shop (vs a bridal shop cuz even in an au I can’t stretch to see Izzy doing anything bridal for a living) until Ed wants to give Jack Rackham Izzy’s job and oh also he wants to start dating Jack too. So Izzy is out of a job and a relationship that’s been in the pre-engagement state for years. Izzy gets a part time job selling fine chef’s knives door-to-door (instead of makeup. Because it’s a good excuse to slip Steak Knife into the story and also because my bestie used to sell knives and I love him)

Izzy happens to show up at the Bonnet mansion household around the time they were expecting their newest nanny to come for an interview. Izzy thinks he is being invited in to give his sales pitch. In classic sitcom misunderstanding it takes a while for Stede to realize that Short Dark and Handsome here is not actually a manny with a resting rage face.

But by then Izzy has had a chance to interact with Stede’s kids and his household staff. Stede has fondness for anyone who is kind to his kids and has a secret awe for anyone who seems to get along with less awkwardness than he himself does. Izzy just talks to the kids like they are adults because he doesn’t know how else to deal with tiny people except to treat them like big people. Alma appreciates it.

The rest of the household (Buttons as the butler? Lucius as a PA? Roach as chef, Jim as driver, etc you get the idea) are surprisingly on board with hiring the guy who came to the door with a briefcase full of knives to provide daily childcare. He’s got no experience or qualifications but Izzy clearly does not take shit from anyone and won’t get scared off in under two months like the last nanny.

and look, the pay is really good. Even if Mr Bonnet is supremely annoying, he pays well and the kids seem fine, old enough to entertain themselves most of the time and not be very interested in interacting with some greying old man. He can get them to school and home from school, and deal with the occasional snotty cold or scraped knee for such a huge salary, with room and board on top! plus staying in the rich part of town cuts down on the chances of running into Ed and/or Jack.

So Izzy moves into the mansion and chases the Bonnet children around for a living. (Izzy quickly learns that the kids are still young enough to love playing pirates, something Stede started with them but has been too busy to do. Izzy, wearing an eye patch and brandishing a plastic sword, taunts Stede into joining their play by challenging him to duel (yes Stede smacks his ass with his sword))

obvious stede would never get full custody lol so there’s plenty of time when the kids are with their mother and Stede’s only company in the big empty house is Izzy Hands 😮😀

[wilcze-kudly]

Okay you have me intrigued by Wu’s character and now that has me wondering about a bit about his upbringing and childhood. Mainly, what ever happened to his parents? Has it ever been said what happened to them? If there’s nothing much on them, I’m coming to the idea that whether one of his parents were a younger or older sibling to Hou-Ting, I can imagine her being the type to somehow perhaps have a hand in a subtle assassination of her sibling and their partner. Would be even more of a reason to commit that kind of backstabbing if they were the older sibling.

Also some part of me feels in some way, he’s like Kuei, but far more active/involved as well as fleshed out in a sense.

Well, we don't get many specifics on Wu's childhood or upbringing but we are actually told that he isn't a direct nephew to Hou-Ting.

Mike: He's uh, he's uh, he's like a n-not a-not a direct nephew, but... Bryan: Yeah, something through marriage.

So my personal headcanon is that Wu is descended from some royal family member who renounced the royal title. I can see Wu's parents as soft hearted, kind people, but also pretty much pushovers who couldn't stand up to Hou-Ting for the life of them. So Hou-Ting wouldn't really need to kill Wu's parents, though I wouldn't put it past her and its a very intriguing headcanon.

I personally think Hou-Ting knew she wasn't gonna get an heir of her own (or maybe she just didn't wanna put herself through that can't blame her tbh). So she just followed the line of succession and found the next in line, a young Wu and pulled rank over his parents, arranging to have a lot of control over his upbringing.

She just strikes me as the kind of woman who wouldn't want to leave her kingdom in the hands of someone who isn't carrying on her legacy in some manner, but also is too lazy to actually put the work in of raising a child herself.

I can see Wu having grown up in the palace at Hou-Ting's side, but mainly being raised by nannies and au pairs. He would have little contact with his parents, who never really fought that hard to get him back and whenever he spent time with Hou-Ting, she'd basically just tell him to be just like her, I assume.

I think that eventually Hou-Ting would kinda get bored/annoyed of him and would ship him off to boarding school, as Bryan Konietzko said.

Bryan: Uh, he wasn't-he wasn't exactly sheltered, he was, like, shipped off. He's like the kid that was sent to boarding school, boarding, yeah.

I can see Wu being extremely awkward and longing for social interaction after being locked away for so long.

And yeah, there are totally huge similarities between Wu and Kuei. Especially that Raiko (and imo Tenzin) would kinda want him to play a role of a puppet ruler too.

Josh: He's the perfect person for the president just, like, to put his claws in, say, "let's go this way." Bryan: Yeah, he can mou-he-yeah, Raiko's pretty excited about him. He's like, "man, I can mould this guy, and sorta control this old..." Tim: Total puppet.

I can't help but kinda feel bad for the guy. He's a fun character to speculate on lol

[rius-cave]

Okay! So I have a new au that I'm obsessed with and would like to share

Tw for mentions of suicide

It's called Hell's Nanny Au

Adam ends up killing himself on earth from all the grief, heart ache and pain from everything that happened in and after the garden.

He goes to Hell (because of how he died) and he loses all of his memory from earth and doesn't know who he is.

Lucifer finds him and feels guilty for being a reason he did what he did and takes him in and gives him the job of being Charlies Nanny (she's 5)

Lilith is less than thrilled about Adam being there and things only get worse when she sees how close Adam and Lucifer get and how much Charlie favors Adam over her.

So she goes out of her way to make his life in Hell a real Hell.

There is a fic started! It's called: Hell's Greatest Nanny

OOHHH, wow, that is dark!

there's a lot going on here omg. First of all that's super sad sdfkjdkgdf WHY DO WE TORTURE OUR BOY THIS WAY (keep doing it). Can definitely see a lot of interesting plot points with this one. Antagonist Lilith is always a win in my book lol

ALSO ADAM AND BABY CHARLIE SHENANIGANS that'd be so sweet, I really love when people depict interactions between Adam and a young Charlie, it's very heartwarming.

[minnow-doodle-doo]

can you tell us more about tim in ur SoA au please? i wanna know how he gets adopted here if he does and his relationships to everyone else. plus his reactions to jasons… Big Day we’ll call it and bruce’s eventual. Big Day of his own. (i dont wanna say the D word ): )

Of course! (sorry for the late reply I don't check my inbox very much lol) I'm gonna ramble so everything is gonna go below the cut.

Anyways, so Tim and Jason meet at Gotham Academy. They become best friends (their only friend) because A) Jason is the new poor kid in a rich private school where everyone has known each other since kindergarten. B) Tim is 3 years younger than everyone and is a big weirdo.

Tim follows (stalks) Jason home one day and kind of just starts coming over every day. Tim's parents fired the nanny recently due to some extramarital stuff, and when they are about to go on their next dig, Bruce suggests to his parents that Tim stays with them so he does. Every time they are out of town (at least 3/4 of the year) Tim lives at their house, where he shares a bunkbed with Jason.

Then Jason 'dies'.

Tim moves into Dicks old room, by himself, and he is trying to support Bruce who has become like a second dad to him, through his grief while trying to push his away. It's very messy like grief usually is.

Things are bad, and his parent's company tanks, so they start sending him to public school. Where he has to come out of his shell cuz he doesn't have Jason anymore for him to lean on.

He makes friends with Steph, and a bunch of other kids through the Justice League.

Okay, I'm gonna stop cuz this is getting convoluted but he does get adopted after his dad dies, but he's been living with the Waynes way before that.

[solar-halos]

i’ve skipped so many mood board mondays, so here are a ton of mood boards. they’re all Annie Cresta themed and how i think she’d dress/accessorize in a modern au. this one is gonna be lengthy tho i luv fashion

don’t keep the devil waiting, old friend: queer couture*

comments: this one was the hardest only bc i couldn’t find a lot pics of patchwork jeans + smudged (and ugly in an on-purpose-fuck-beauty-standards type of way) makeup and i feel like that is a fundamental part of annies style in this fic. also shes in hs and i feel like that is the peak of diy-ing things that are ugly but obv pinterest didn’t have much of that. but in the fic she loves red+black color combos and sanrio and also mitski so i included that here. also, had to include a heathers pic. and before anyone says that this doesn’t count as alt pls remember something: i don’t care

* (as in annie is queer in this fic, not that u have to be queer to wear this. just btw)

fond boy with a flower in his heart: lipstick lover*

comments: her style isn’t rlly described that much in the fic but i think it’s very much winx and barbiecore. lipstick lover* to the max. she is also the queen of sporty spice athleisure

*in a “pink panther” by Scene Queen (the musician) way, not a luver of lipstick way. although annie is both in this fic

a deep dive into the mind of annie cresta: man eater couture

credits, first and foremost!

i found the first pic (starting from the top left hand corner) on pinterest. this is the second pic dress pattern. third pic is also pinterest but it gives me johanna and annie vibes. this is the fourth pic (it’s still a tester pattern so i just linked her account!). this is the fifth pic. this is the sixth pic. i found the seventh pic on pinterest. this is the eighth pic. i found the ninth pic on pinterest. this is the tenth pic (can you tell i love madebymolly? lol)

comments: okay, so at first i wanted to focus more on materials like linen bc i think d4 would be more focused on practicality than glam, but as you can tell it’s mostly crochet pieces bc i’ve saved SO many pics that gave me boho beach vibes. but also some outfits (like the green dress!) are outfits i described in the actual fic and then found on instagram later like “wait….. this was literally something i had in my head and they made it into something real.” like how fucking cool is that imagine sewing something from ur own two hands (esp lace!). but also the cheetah (leopard?) print underwear is so annie cresta after she won the games bc i feel like she’d embellish everything she owns like the fashionista she is

miscellaneous: i-t g-i-r-l

ok when i was first pondering abt annie cresta’s style @turtlesandwhales678 put this into the universe and i haven’t been able to stop thinking abt it: vintage styled annie cresta! i know i didn’t do this concept justice bc most of the outfits are condensed to a select few decades but there was an era in my life where i would refuse to post anything on my instagram stories except vintage pictures/photoshoots, so here are some i had in my arsenal that i dug up:

credits!

first pic (top left corner) is from the nanny! love that show u should watch it. i know the second pic looks like an invasion of privacy but i swear it was for a photoshoot in 1969 for life magazine. i found the third pic on pinterest, it’s lisa bonet on “a different world” i believe. the fourth pic is from my instagram stories archive arsenal. same with the fifth pic. this is the sixth pic. seventh pic is from my stories archive. this is the eighth pic

comments: i kinda said everything i needed to at the beginning. the ninth pic is giving me odesta vibes

okay, that’s it! i know this was sooo long but i was scared of uploading it to ao3 cos the last time i did something like that it got taken down. but to be fair it was sorta my fault. anyway this was sooo fun and im in a very big procrastinating mood so i will literally make a mood board out of anything / any other styles. i was thinking abt doing a cottagecore one but i heard that style has racist undertones? idk i haven’t looked into it but i should. anyway bye hope these were pretty

[notherpuppet]

Hi, I have a question, I don't know if you've answered it before and I hope I'm not bothering you.

But, are you ok with NSFW fanarts of your AUs? And if you are, would it bother you if I tagged you or would you rather not see it?

I ask because, I love the designs you have for your AUs💕 (and specifically I really like the design you gave Adam in your AU Deer Nanny💖) and I have some ideas for fanarts and some of these ideas are NSFW.

If you're not cool with it I understand, I still have other SFW ideas I can draw.

I hope the question isn't annoying, thanks for taking the time to read🙏🙏

Hi! Yes, I'm totally okay with that!! This was addressed on twitter a while ago, but yeah have fun!!

Also yeah I usually wanna see lol so feel free to tag me! I keep my blog SFW so I don't usually reblog anything but it's so cool to me how artists or writers get inspired by an AU I draw! So yeah, feel free to draw/write what you like!

[things-arent-what-they-seem66]

Hell Nanny au

Could you give me a run down of what this au is?

Also, would Adam dress like Mary Poppins since she's a nanny too?

HAHA! No lol

OKAY!! For those of you who don't know, this Au is about Adam being so depressed over Lucifer leaving him in the garden, getting banished, Cain killing Abel, Eve giving him a ton of shit.

Adam kills himself and goes to Hell.

When he gets there he has no memory or his life on earth or who anyone is. Lucifer finds him and feels guilty and takes him in and gives him a job as Charlie's Nanny, she is 5 at the time.

Lilith is super jealous of Adam because she sees the way Lucifer looks at him and how much Charlie loves him. So she purposely goes out of her way to make his life in Hell a true Hell.

Coffee Shop Au for WIP Weekend!

@steventhusiast @shares-a-vest @sidekick-hero

COFEE SHOP AU!!! 🗣️☕️

this one started over the summer when I got a very aggressive brainworm about Eddie running a shop called Corroded Coffee and then at the end of august when ao3 was down for a few days, I posted the first chunk of it here on tumblr and then immediately ruined goldie's life by making them wait 6 months for an update 😭 but I've been working on it! it's still on the list! the whole thing is about 10k right now and I DO want to finish it and get it posted for real at some point SOON I PROMISE

anyway, here's a little snippet :)

“You’re very smooth,” Steve says. “Everything you do is like –” He laughs, shaking his head. “Like something out of an old movie or something.” Eddie makes a face. “Smooth makes it sound like it’s an act.” “Is it not?” He shrugs. “My uncle raised me right.” “You were raised by your uncle?” Eddie hums, nodding a little. They come to a stop as they wait for the light to change, and he squeezes Steve’s hand.  “My parents didn’t really stick around.” He takes a breath, staring across the street. “Dad was in and out of prison, until he was just… in. And my mom was all over the place, but Wayne was always there.” He shoots a look over at Steve. “No Hungarian nannies for me.” Steve laughs a little. “I regret telling you that, by the way.” “Was she like – a live-in nanny?” Eddie asks as they start walking again. “Did she carry a big handbag and fly with her umbrella and sing songs about spoonfuls of sugar?” “No,” Steve says, laughing harder. “She was just a lady. She took care of me after school when I was a kid. My parents weren’t around a lot either.” “Oh, so ‘nanny’ is just rich people speak for ‘babysitter’,” Eddie says. “Got it.” “Basically,” Steve says. He tucks his chin into his scarf to hide his smile and lets their hands swing between them as they walk. After a moment, he looks over at Eddie again. “You never answered me, by the way. Do you live around here too?” “Yeah, just –” Eddie points in the direction they’re walking. “A little ways up, on the right.” “Oh,” Steve says. He raises his eyebrows. “Okay.” And Eddie laughs, giving him a teasing, sideways glance. “Okay.” They walk for another moment, Steve swaying closer into his side until Eddie slows them to a stop as they reach the steps up to a brownstone, old and rich-looking with lights glowing in the upper story. “So,” Steve says, tilting his head to the side. “I guess this is you?” Eddie lets go of his hand to settle it on his waist instead, pulling him closer. Steve lets himself be pulled, feeling his heart kick, his breath catching a little as he stares at Eddie, head angled back. They’re almost the same height, but Steve is just an inch or two shorter, and up close like this it feels like Eddie towers over him.  “I’m going to kiss you now,” Eddie says. “Is that okay?”

(lol at my wip weekend literally extending INTO THE NEXT WEEKEND because I'm such a slow replier rip)

[sskurwysyn]

GOOD DAD DRAXUM AU GOOD DAD DRAXUM AU!!!! + Villain turtles (?)

So basically, what if Lou Jitsu didn't manage to snatch the turtles and they were raised by Baron Draxum

He's very very bad at parenting at first (he has exactly 0 knowledge on handling children)

Munnin and Huggin to the rescue!! (They don't know anything about parenting either but they do have something Barry lacks - common f-cking sense)

He was so happy his experiment worked out, he forgot to plan a bit ahead. In his mad scientist haze, he disregarded the fact he actually had to raise the specimens he made...

Actually their sentience was an accident! Draxum wanted mindless weapons (i physically cringed at that lol lfls gave me trauma), maybe pets, def not children. So at first he wasn't too happy with the outcome. But after realizing the possibilities their sentience opened, he was ecstatic, bragging to everyone that his experiment worked even better than planned.

He reads a lot of parenting books 👍

Barry has troubles with empathy, but he makes it up with a deep understanding of psychology and biology. He strives to bring out the most out of every turtle, so he tries to choose those training methods, that would actually WORK.

He read somewhere that children need physical touch at least four times a day to develop properly. He doesn't know what a hug is, so four times a day he just. Picks his children weapons up and holds them for a minute awkwardly. He eventually learned to be more casual when picking them up, but it took a while.

When the tots were still in their baby form, Draxum carried them on his shoulders instead of the gargoyles.

The tots really liked to sleep in the dog bed 🥺🥺 /bc of the fireplace/ Munnin and Huggin didn't mind, they either tried to squeeze themselves next to the turtles, or they just slept hanging upside down from something (like bats), keeping an eye on them.

They reclaim their bed happily when Draxum builds the tots a terrarium though.

Honestly those two go from evil henchmen to fulltime nannies in the matter of days and they enjoy it a lot, surpisingly.

The turtles enjoy Lou Jitsu movies very much, and they compare themselves to him all the time. He's basically their idol and they dream of meeting their DNA-dad. They idolize Lou even more than in canon, since they know that he's related to them from the get go.

Mike painted him on a cardboard. Now they have real life sized Lou Jitsu cardboard cutout just vibing around the house.

Draxum deems art an useless skill and a waste of time. So he and Mikey get into fights about it all the time.

Draxum may be emotionally distant, but he's much more interested in the boys' lives than Splinter ever was. Which, okay, it's good for the most part, but it shows to be problematic if his ideals don't align with the turtle's actions.

Donnie is his least favorite, only because he sees himself in the softshell too much and it makes him uncomfortable.

Mikey is his favorite, actually (because of the EXTREME potential he's hiding) but that just means he gets the most shit from Draxum, honestly.

The boys are muchhh much more rebellious and uh... morally questionable than in canon.

Remember lair games? Yeah. Remember when Leo accidentally caused Don to twist his ankle? Yeah. Let's just say, it wouldn't exactly be accidental in this AU.

Turtles have a deep dislike of humans, mostly caused by Draxum's views on them. They stick to the Undercity for the most part, unless they sneak out to NYC to cause some chaos. That's how they meet April, actually.

Yeah, they're not friends in this AU. Arch nemesis would be more accurate. Especially with Donnie. They hate each other with a burning passion.

"Stop mutating innocent citizens!!!" "Make me, hummie! (sfx: madman laugh)"

Yes turtles are personally involved in mutation of the villains from the show. I will not be elaborating.

Usagi and Gen are very important figures in this AU :DD probably as important as April and Splinter, honestly. (And i may or may not bring Jei into it as well... Still thinking about it)

I have more ideas but then this post would be insufferably long i mean its pretty long as it is

Blood Brothers AU - The Oreo Throwdown of 2023

((Oh no...not the last cookie @loki-notazombie LOL! Those poor cookies, especially Oreos. The Stark boys have been fighting over Oreos since Scott was like two years old and learned he liked Oreos too. It's one of the few things they actually fight over.

Now, it's not exactly a "fight" per se, but it is a challenge, getting that last cookie. There's bragging rights involved, you know? And these boys love their bragging rights.

As children, the issue with their last cookie fight was the grownups, especially Momma Stark and Jarvis. Why tussle over one cookie? Especially since they predict said cookie would just end up as crumbs on the floor and neither boy got it?

But it was the ultimate game of keep-away they could play, and the rewards were worth the game. There was never any real hard feelings either. Just a few smirks and snickers and some "I win, Stark" and "Just wait til next time, Stark" kind of things.

Have you ever seen that "fight" from Kung Fu Panda between Po and Shifu over that last dumpling? Well imagine that but less finesse and a cookie. Ultimate keep-away.

As adults though...

You have to understand some things. Adult life has been hard on these boys. They both have gone through a lot, and as Starks, they're expected to behave a certain way. They're in the spotlight what feels like constantly, and there's so few things that feels like solely theirs, completely separate from the eyes of the public.

And there's so few things that remind them of better times, back when they were kids. When they still had Mom and Dad and Jarvis and their nanny who all loved them and felt like even with the weirdness of the paparazzi and the public, things were still okay because they had love and family to go home to. Simpler times when the strife adulthood brought on too soon didn't touch them yet.

With that being said, anything that reminds them of childhood, they're more than likely going to jump into it. And they don't do anything half-assed either.

Besides their families, no one knows this better than the remaining Avengers at the compound during the whole Time Heist thing.

It's what they call The Oreo Throwdown of 2023.

There was a time when Tony and Scott got into it for a very brief moment over a last Oreo, but Natasha swooped in and saved the day with an unopened package of Oreos and a deadpan "You're actual children" remark, but The Oreo Throwdown of 2023 snowballed into this big thing.

There is no other package in the cabinet to save the boys from what's coming. No one else dared to get in the middle of wanting the last Oreo for themselves. And when Tony activated his suit with the biggest smirk you ever saw, challenging his little brother for the last Oreo "You want that Oreo, you're gonna have to go through me, Tiny Tim," no one didn't know what to do. And when Scott changed into his suit faster than humanly possible and declared "Challenge accepted, Tin Man," something interesting happened.

Have you ever worked so hard and so long on something that you practically welcome literally anything to draw your attention for a break? Well, the remaining Avengers got exactly that in this moment.

They've been working on the Time Heist nonstop for days. They needed a mental break, and if this was how it was going to happen, then so be it. Scott was good at providing mental and physical breaks for everybody, including a 5 hour long game of Uno, but this was something else entirely.

Therefore, nobody really wanted to go to the nearest store to get a package of Oreos because this looked too...intriguing to stop it.

The challenge was quickly moved to the training arena, where the rest of the Avengers sat on one side or the other, depending on which brother they thought would win, and believe it or not, it was a pretty even split except for Rhodey who sat in the middle and said he knew better than to choose between the brothers.

(And before you ask, I headcanon in this AU and in canonverse that Scott had a plethora of Pym particles stored in his suit, but for the Quantum suits, he only had the few vials. And pulling from the suit to fill up more vials was a tricky process, so he just stuck with what they had unless absolutely necessary.)

Scott ran into trouble before they even started he realized he couldn't pull the same stunt he did back in Germany. It's a lot harder to hack nanotech like that. The only way, he surmised, was to slip into the arc reactor and take that out from the inside if he wanted to go that route. (Which happens to be where they got the idea for that part of the Time Heist). That or he got grow giant and grab Tony like an action figure.

Tony knew catching his little brother would be tricky considering all the tricks Scott had up his sleeve, but Tony had a few tricks up his sleeve as well. He learned a thing or two from Germany, and he believed himself to be better prepared for any tiny or giant surprises.

Bets were made, cheers were made up, trash talk ensued from the sidelines, and two smug boys went head to head in the greatest fight over the last cookie of their lives...to date.

I could write a book over the fight, and honestly it probably would be worth writing some time because it's a bit comical.

But the important thing to note that when having a captive audience turned the keep-away into a throwdown, there was one very important aspect that was ironically overlooked in the excitement. No one was guarding the cookie. Therefore, while all this was going on, someone else ate the cookie, and the victor did not get his spoils. It was Bruce. To be fair, he didn't know about the throwdown challenge; he was taking a power nap. It takes a lot to be Professor Hulk, ya know.

Scott laughed his head off when they realized the cookie had already been eaten, and Tony smirked, chuckled, and rolled his eyes as his response. Then he declared he and Scott would go to the store and get groceries to stock up the Avengers' kitchen.

Including quite a few packages of cookies.))
