How Each of the Bad Batch Members Use Their Skills On Pabu

Hunter

Tracks and catches game

Provides an early alert for storms and natural disasters (I’m assuming he can sense lightning build-up)

Helps Shep organize manual labor projects with the community

Learns to cook really well because of his excellent nose

Realizes he has perfect pitch from his enhanced senses and picks up music (maybe a string instrument, perhaps?)

Teaches self-defense classes (it started by accident)

Crosshair

Uses his excellent eye and observational skills to pick up doing artwork. Painting, maybe. He has the stillness and the patience for it.

Fishing (also requires the focus and patience he has, and different types of fishing, like spear-fishing probably require a good eye)

Search and rescue during natural disasters

Tech

Honestly, it’d he hard to get this guy to stop technologically upgrading Pabu. You get access to the holonet, and you get access to the holonet! Where would it end?

Tricky home repair jobs that require precision such as working with technology.

Accidentally teaches a class on strategy because he gets fed up that the local children don’t know as much as Omega about these very important things.

Would also be great with gardening given it is technically a science. Pabu’s gardens flourish under his control.

Wrecker

Home and architectural repair

Debris cleaning after storms

Fishing (particularly with nets and hauling in big fish)

Ends up helping the community by carrying heavy things they might need transported

Is always open to helping the infirm and elderly if his muscles are required

Echo

Accidentally starts physical therapy when he realizes he can provide information, help, and support for Pabu’s disabled community

Omega

This girl can do anything and everything, and her job is to live and thrive and grow, snd she does

Chapter Three of Eid Fic is live now on ao3. Here’s a bit from the upcoming Chapter Four. The gang goes to Austin’s first Eid carnival!!

“Umm,” Marjan questions, craning her neck to survey the crowd milling around the lawn. “Where did TK and Carlos go?”

“Oh,” he laughs. “Carlos is trying to convince TK not to ride the mechanical bull.”

She groans. “Aren’t the rides just for kids?”

“You wouldn’t know it by the line of grown ass men waiting to ride it.” He spears himself a kebab. “I’d put real money on us having to respond to a medical emergency on that thing before the day is over.”

“As long as it’s not TK,” she laughs. “Carlos will be so pissed if they have to have the wedding in the ICU.”

“So Marj,” Paul starts, his words coming out slow and deliberate. “Where’s Joe today?”

“He is with his parents,” she responds mildly.

“You didn’t wanna join?”

“We’ve been on, like, two dates.”

After dinner with Paul and Asha, Joe asked her out on a formal date. She brought Carlos and TK as chaperones and it felt like a true double date.

They had dinner at a restaurant down by the river where they watched ducks and kayakers float by while they ate. Afterwards, they walked along the boardwalk down by the river and got ice cream cones, which they ate while strolling through the Zilker Botanical Gardens. Joe walked her to her car while Carlos and TK trailed behind, and he texted her later to make sure she got home okay.

TK was already on the phone with her when the text came through, having called as soon as they got home so he could ask her how she felt about the date and gush about how well he thought the night had gone. He audibly swooned when she told him Joe had texted to check on her, and she chucked at the sound of Carlos’s voice in the background asking if he was the one trying to date the guy.

“God,” TK stage whispered into the phone. “I can’t get any privacy to gossip in peace around here.”

In the present moment Paul is asking, “Are you gonna see him again?”

She and Joe haven’t seen each other outside of physical therapy appointments since Ramadan started. But they’ve been texting and even chatted on the phone a few times since their date.

“I think so.”

[xappetites]

i'm not completely sure what this is i'm just real emotional about Frank Fucking Woods, same universe as this

This is a long time coming. Too long, where Frank is concerned. Thing is, they haven’t had time for it, with the constant driving back and forth to the VA, the hospital, the physical therapy, and the dragging bureaucracy of honorable discharge. Then David started getting nightmares —which is perfectly understandable for a kid his age who suddenly finds himself with no one in the world except Frank—, and Bell’s real good with nightmares.

So it’s been months since Frank’s had this: Bell’s perfect ass in his palms, her laughter in his mouth and the graceless bumping into shit on their way to the bedroom. The little shushed giggle as she tugs the armrest to straighten him down the hallway, freeing the foot paddle from the corner.

Trying to keep quiet is another new thing, since there’s a sleeping child a couple rooms away, but he’s not letting go now that he has his hands on her. In fact, Frank has half a mind to run her over and try carrying her himself just so he doesn’t have to stop touching her. But then she’s opening the door wide for him and this is why he suffers that sadistic fucker of a nurse at physical, so he can still maneuver his ass onto the bed and his own damn pants off when he wants to fuck his wife.

Bell laughs under her breath, kicking off jeans and underwear, moving to straddle him where he finally settles against the pillows.

“What’s so funny, huh?”

“Here.” Her answer is half whisper, half moan and goddamn, she’s already slick for him. She arches, presenting her tits so Frank can manhandle them free and nose at the warm, soft space between them. “For your frown.”

Frank’s cock reacts before he does, so do his hips. There’s a delightful ache in sliding against her, twitching, pretty much on instinct. Pulling at her waist and groaning into her mouth.

“You’re a little minx, aren’t you?”

“I have good reason to be.”

He’s always been a sucker for Bell’s smiles, from way back when he expected to babysit Adler’s shiny new automaton and instead got a toothy grin in the middle of a firefight —that for a long time made him wish he’d just been hit. But the one she gives him, perched in his lap and rocking against him until his cock catches and slides smoothly inside her, spears him straight through the heart.

“Fuck, I’ve missed this.” She says and she’s wearing this ‘home after a long day’ kinda smile, with eyes narrowed so Frank can’t tell she’s tearing up until the drop escapes down her cheek. “I’ve missed you.”

And he’s right there with her, choked up to finally have a minute for just her, the same old Bell squeezing his heart between her pretty palms, no matter how everything has changed.

“You got me, honey. All of me.”

All that’s left of me, he doesn’t say, because it’s depressing when he’d really rather fucking not. What he does manage, comes out barely understandable, pressed against her mouth and it’s a little bit pathetic anyway, but Frank can’t care when she’s chuckling into a filthy kiss and tightening around him.

“Oh, you like that?”

Bell pulls back, laughter turning into a giggle as she wipes the tears. And this time the pressure of her muscles on his cock is purposeful.

“I do.”

“All that cock just for you, huh?”

She bears down at that comment, rides him so slow and deep that she has to shush the very loud groan it pulls out of his throat. 

“The cock and all the rest,” Bell doesn’t falter in the rhythm she starts, works him like her pride’s on the line, “your laugh and your eyes, and the way your beard burns. All mine.”

God, what a fucking sucker she makes out of him. Frank’s never been a man to speak his affections, it’s too much to put on the line, to have his heart out there like that. Especially now that he’s even more convinced that loving the likes of him is poison. So he sneaks a hand between their bodies, shifts their balance with firm circles over her clit and tries to squeeze the truth into a single word.

“Yours.”

Despite his better judgment and not exactly to her benefit, as far as he’s concerned, but it’s true. It’s enough. All it takes for Bell’s orgasm to hit full force. A thing of beauty, dimmed quiet but so intense, her thighs shake. Aching in the pit of Frank’s stomach for a long second because he can’t flip her under him anymore, give those pretty legs a break and pound her full while she melts into the mattress for him.

She laughs, though, breathless. And she kisses him with a sort of manic joy, face glowing and hair sticking to her forehead; picking back where she left off, rolling her hips ‘till he’s emptying himself inside her, panting like a dog and —for a single shining second— content to the bone.

Hers.

Suspended in a moment where it doesn't matter that they’re sort of sticky, staving off the chill only by virtue of clinging to each other. Then Bell climbs off for long enough to get a warm, wet towel that she uses to clean him and herself; before tucking them both in with easy banter. Talking up a storm in what Frank suspects is an effort to distract him until she’s curled sweet against his side.

In the morning, when it’s the sun bright through the window that wakes them, Frank finds it’s the first night David’s slept through without screaming his way out of a nightmare. He lets Bell wash his hair, in the brand new, spanking bench she got installed in the shower. And he figures he’ll find his way through this. Even if it’s embarrassing, even if it’s painful.

For all the shit he’s survived and all the things he can still do, he refuses to let this be what fucking kills him.

[cloud-navi]

So I finished DuckTales (2017), my thoughts:

⚠️ Spoilers ahead ⚠️

- Bradford Buzzard:

His feelings for hating adventure and chaos is valid but he should have told his grandma to fuck off and got therapy instead of trying to destroy it. Also its not his fault that Della took the Spear of Selene even if he told her about it.

You can’t have one thing without the other, there must be chaos if there is stability and vice versa.

- Webbigail Vanderquack and Bentina Beakly (Agent 22):

It was a good twist, but it makes me question where FOWL got Scrooge’s DNA to make Webby and why her exact clones (sisters) aren’t perceived as Scrooges kid like Webby is.

My theory: “The Papyrus of Binding only appears to a direct heir of Scrooge McDuck” I think it mean’s physically and emotionally. If June and May are Webby’s clones that means they are just as much Scrooge’s physical child as Webby is, except they don’t have a relationship with Scrooge. Scrooge even before knowing Webby was his kid thought of her like his Grandniece, like family, making her an heir like the boys.

For how much Beakly talked about how important and strong a family is together when getting the boys to talk to Scrooge again in Season 1, it doesn’t make much sense to have her go in alone without informing the family of what she knows of FOWL from SHUSH.

Goldie O’Gilt:

I love her so much, except in the ImpossiBin episode, there she was okay. At the end of the ImpossiBin episode Goldie calls Scooge assuming he took the fountain of youth when they agreed to keep it for both of them, (she went back to steal it for herself so she says). They made progress in the Youth Fountain episode and having Goldie call him about it being gone kinda defeats the whole purpose of their bonding in that episode. Except I understand they needed a character to tell him it was gone like the other missing mysteries but I find it defeated the whole point.

Lena and Violet Saberwing:

To me it looked like Violet’s parents adopted Lena and I’m all for that. Also love the hinted gay rep with their dads.

Magica De spell:

While it was Scrooge that blocked her spell, it was still her spell that she shot that turned her brother into a raven. Theres no reason or obligation for Scrooge to have caught him and give him to her when they were both terrible people. If anything her brother got a new chance at life as a raven instead.

I wish there was kinda a redemption arc when she was training Lena, if not for Lena a little redemption for Gladstone because I like those two.

Fenton Crackshell (GizmoDuck) and DarkWing Duck:

I like Drake with Fenton regardless if he’s Drake or playing DarkWing but I feel like he needs to accept that GizmoDuck is also a hero. Bro needs to know the difference between hero and vigilante.

Fenton is pretty bbg too <3

Launchpad McQuack:

Giant himbo and I love him so much.

Daisy Duck:

Love her, not much else to say. She had standards, that was clear when we heard what she said while driving away from their second date except she still fell in love and was willing to put up with Donald enough to go rescue him and keep going out. Overall a girl boss <3

Huey, Dewey and Louie:

While Dewey should have come forward earlier about looking for Della I understand his intentions more then Huey did when he found out. Louie was right, its not okay, but in the beginning Dewey was just trying to find if she was alive or not, not where she was. He was sorry because he ‘got caught’, he was genuinely sorry. It’s difficult to want to tell someone you’re finding all this stuff about someone you all seek when none of you know if they’re even alive or not. Dewey didn’t want them to lose hope that Della may be alive even if he found out she might not have. Yes he should have told them but I understand he didn’t want to them to be more hurt that she’s unalive instead of just missing. Also they aren’t even teenagers and communication skills are ass with teenagers what makes you think they’ll be any better as 10 year olds?

Again, their anger is misplaced when they’re mad at Scrooge for building a Spear of Selene.

Scrooge McDuck (sugar daddy?):

I like his character and I feel theres a bit of development through out the show with him and the kids, to be a teacher you need to be able to learn from your students.

While yes, he shouldn’t have built the rocket right there he also didn’t tell Della about it. Not his fault she left. Also the audacity to find out it wasn’t really his fault or the fact he nearly went bankrupt looking for her and they didn’t apologize at all.

Donald Duck (DILF):

Literally the best man in the whole show. He put his family first the whole time even when he should have taken breaks except he stepped up. We know that he had some form of falling out with Scrooge because of Della but even so he stepped up to take the kids and stayed in DuckBurg instead of moving anytime in the 10+ years they lived there. I have a feeling they stayed because he knew deep down that he could somewhat still count on Scrooge if not Beakly. Why else would he have stayed and gone to Beakly to watch the kids, granted he didn’t want to talk to Scrooge, Scrooge still took them in and watched them while Donald was off getting a job.

Donald may not be their bio-dad, but he is no way a fucking Uncle. He raised those boys by himself for 10+ years, through their formative years and until they were old enough to know he wasn’t their bio-dad. He stepped in to be a parent because Della chickened out and chose to go to space even when he told her she shouldn’t so she can be with her kids.

Donald Duck, not an uncle, a father.

Della Duck (cool-ish weird Aunt):

My opinion has not changed, she still isn’t a mother to me. Della is an estranged aunt that comes by and is the ‘cool aunt’. She willingly, without obligation, without threat, consciously CHOSE to leave her kids. Regardless of if she knew she would get killed or stuck in space, “there were too many variables” -Huey. She had a fight with Donald that specifically told her that it was a giant, dumb fucking idea with kids on the way. The idea that anyone would accept her back as a parent so blindly is so dumb. Yes she’s their egg-layer, but there is no way in hell she is their mother. A MOTHER would never choose to leave their children unless they positively fucking had too (obligation for safety). Whether or not she regrets it holds no power because she still chose to leave for a stupid reason.

Season 1 finale: “Get away from my kids” by Donald Duck will forever hold more power and significance then anytime she ever says it because she gave up parent rights before they were born. No parent would willingly, without valid cause like their safety (not fucking exploring space for funzys) would leave their child.

Over all:

Scrooge and Donald are DILFS and Della can get bent.

William T. Spears -- My Personal Headcanons

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ- Things I give William in my canon ˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ-

✧ William, in life, was constantly pressured to uphold impossible standards in order to be treated the same as he elder brother, Thomas. In death, this has transferred into William pushing Academy students, strict and unrelenting. The only difference is that William makes sure the students are rewarded properly for their hard work, when he was never given the time of day.

✧ One of the lower managers in the Management Branch. You know how a store has like, a General Manager, and then the Assistant manager, then the rest of the managers?? William is essentially the guy who does 60 hours overtime but has never gotten past beginning manager no matter how hard he tries, so he's just settled into his role.

✧ Takes the duty of a reaper seriously, because he's seen what happens to those who cannot be 'reformed'. Yes, he pushes hard, and seems strict, but it's all for the betterment of his team. Becoming a part of the Management Branch means seeing some things the Higher Ups don't allow the regular reaper to see.

✧ 'Detach yourself from your emotions' has become one of William's main teaching methods, due to emotions being one of the main reasons workers 'desert' the Dispatch. Being emotionally attached to a soul and thinking of changing things? It'll get you to the Reformation center. Being mournful on the job, clouded by grief when reaping? You would be distracted, and the soul would have a chance to fight back, ending with the reaper gaining the Thorns. Hesitating because of fear? A chance for something to hurt you. Reaping comes first, and William encourages putting the job before your own feelings (regardless on if that's healthy or not).

✧ Mostly blind without his glasses, and uses a cane (or scythe on the field, even though he loathes using his death scythe as such. He's too stubborn to use either when undercover.) as a mobility aid, alongside constant migraines. (Medical couldn't get the bullet out of his head entirely, and might've accidentally damaged some of his brain more.) He goes to physical therapy once a week for his leg, but usually only spends one day a year at Medical for his nerve damage.

✧ Two specific special interests: Avian psychology (specifically the cognitive abilities of carrier pigeons) and Greek Mythology. He keeps several pigeons/doves in his Dispatch Mandated Residence, to observe and cherish (a fantail pigeon named Henrietta is his licensed emotional support animal), while also gathering several different renditions of the same Greek mythos. He has three prized copies of the Iliad, and two handbound copies of the Odyssey.

✧ Whenever he has free time, which is…rare, William does bookbinding! Grell has come to him wanting photo albums made, or repairs to her favorite romance novels, and William gladly takes the time to create new covers/repair the leatherbound ones. Each book he binds is unique, and William will never do the same design twice.

✧ Autistic. William is very specific about many things, needing it done certain ways or else it's all Wrong. Food, however, is the worst for him to handle. None of his food can touch or it'll taste bad, it has to be arranged a certain way on his plate or else it'll look gross, it cannot be ADJUSTED or else it'll all taste bad, and he has to be the one to make it because it'll taste bad otherwise. So things like William eating something Grell made, or sharing Ron's food, are huge signs of trust/comfort in their relationships. Because his brain puts what they give him in the same category of 'I made this so it's okay to eat :]'.

✧ He fake-smiles with too much teeth (akin to a stressed chimpanzee). It's more like a grimace than anything (and usually forced). His true, genuine smiles are always with his mouth closed, and are a lot more subtle than his coworkers. He covers his mouth with his hand when he laughs.

[spotsupstuff]

What happened to suns?

NSH: This man has done irrepairable damage to my mental facilities. That's a crime, y'know?! Messin' up an Iterator's noggin cogs??? They are a *filthy* criminal.

serious answer: a sequence of unfortunate events, basically. idk how long you've been here so i'll start from the beginning

Suns is a very early Gen 2 Iterator. the jump between the 1st n the 2nd Generation went physically very smoothly, but when it comes to the more subtle aspects of a person, it went worse. early Gen 2s r known for bein bad with emotions (the other Iterator that is like that that shows up is Fish. he's rather emotionally crass and unwieldy)

Suns scored the worst possible lottery result while spinning the early Gen 2 emotion capability wheel and their emotional skill and ability to produce the stuff in the first place is in the single digits. they are very conscious of this fault of theirs and instead of doing something more productive with it more often, they rather spend their single digit emotion capability on bemoaning and despising this fault

they do come to Nish for help with it, basically have therapy sessions with him (Nish is the most emotion-capable Iterator in like... Ever) and they do put up a front of this cool, chill, amazing guy persona around themselves to get better accepted by the other Iterators (all of them except Gen 3s know that this cool guy thing is a ruse though. they appreciate the effort however). so they kinda awkwardly fake emotions n go on through their life. this persona is who Pebbles ultimately decided to look up to as his mentor btw. it was never really the real Suns, only maybe some glimpses of it

next unfortunate event shows up first mentioned in my old big headcanon post for the canon Iterators:

(Suns is built quite close to the south pole, though the summer months can still get stupid hot)

at some point i started headcanoning that my Suns has very slow processing time. like absolute Shit reflex time. like

this is canon ☝

n then i put these two headcanons Together ✨ so basically: because of the lack of emotional capability, Suns feels a big need to compensate for stuff. even though the Solis colony is one of the sweetest and kindest colonies out there, they felt like they need to give More. so they started running hotter for the sake of their citizens. but yanno, periodic basically overheating is going to cause damage to hardware shit, not to mention the poor fauna that makes up an Iterator Hivemind. and that's how Suns damaged their processing speed

now as to why i say Suns would go offline in the post-mass ascension off string au: they are falling apart at the seams. torturously slow, but terribly. they are rotting alive- but not in the same way as Pebbles, it's not THE Rot. it's just... a rot. natural decay, not godly cancer. their nickname in DMs between me n shkiki is literally mr. Decay cuz of this

because of a combo of their slow processing time, their location (snowstorms + changing temperatures that go into extremes on pretty much both sides of the spectrum) and their pre-occupation with Pebbles related matters, Suns got yo normal booboo and didn't treat it and when they finally directed attention to themselves, a good portion of them has already decayed including the puppet

yes, they are That wigged that they didn't notice one of their most important parts rotting alive while even using it. this whole thing i refer to as hot girl summer arc btw

after Spears' campaign (they notice they have an infection during the slug's journey back to them) Suns is so fucked up over everything that they just go "Fuck it. why try anymore. i won't fight this. at least i feel *something* rather than nothing, i suppose. i deserve this." and allow their condition to only worsen and don't tell people about it

in the time of the Hunter's campaign i can imagine that they'd be so caked in all of this shit, all physically, emotionally and mentally, that they just wouldn't try at all to save themselves

and fact is, the others will try to help them. especially Wind will. but at some point a person needs to recognize that nothing is going to go anywhere if the other party refuses to put in any effort into getting better too and only drags the innocent one down right along with themselves

[thelunarsystemwrites]

Infectious Love Tale: Lust.

(TW FOR NOT GOREY BITE MARKS AND PINK VEIN LIKE LIGHTNING MARKS!)

Lust: Stats.

Infected? Yes. (Fully infected)

Hunger: 45% (He's hungry, but not starved)

Thirsty: 35% (A drink would be nice)

Sanity: 89% (I missed my last therapy session.... heh...)

Magic: 14% (incredibly drained.)

In love? Yes.

Handler: None, yet. (I'm not an object!)

Appearance: Like most infected, his body has a greenish tint to it, even if it's faint. The colour of his magic, is the colour of the lightning like markings that expand across his whole body. His pupils, or, eyelights, are much larger than before. He has permanent indents of where Tori bite him... other than that? His body doesn't seem to be able to take physical damage, like an amalgamy...

The chipped eye, is from before he was fully infected. His eyesight is wonky in that eye, like he sees everything curved in that eye. The eyelight is misshapen... atleast it's a cute heart?

He found the muzzle in a random AU, he's been wearing it ever since, it's not a high grade one—but better than nothing... makes him feel safer when rescuing survivours.

His weapon of choice: Spear.

Infected don't seem to attack him unless they feel threatened, unlike not so infected... who, the zombie like creatures immediately go after.

Normally, Lust is wearing his coat, it's a long tail coat with sleeves and a hood, that covers most of his face, arms, and legs, disguising his infected state. But, recently it was lost in a hoard.

Hes tried hanging out with the zombies, he can kinda understand what they say? More like he just gets them. He's good at guessing what they want, or what they'll do next.

He misses Papyrus...

🦄 for maglor!

thank you for the ask @spiritofwhitefire!! unusual maglor physical appearance headcanons...

lots of freckles and moles.

lost a couple of teeth in alqualonde (harpoons, you know how it goes). they grow back very, very sharp, and too white. draw blood from his cheeks and lips a little too easily; he often has to wipe it away with the back of his hand, terrible on the cufflinks.

looks as unremarkable as nerdanel, with míriel's dimples (and míriel's quick, easy speech). not pretty, exactly.

a wide, wide guy. solid rider type. chest depth pavarotti would envy. very, very strong and nimble.

not short for an elf.

able to walk silently whenever he pleases, and very loudly, too, when he wants to. generally maintains a very strong sense of acoustic control around his surroundings with his voice, will and gestures.

silence, too, can be a weapon. great at thrall-catching; he can make them speak just by the force of not speaking, parsing out in the silence all the words half-willed into speech.

eye bags. lots of them. purple and dramatic.

wounded after the bragollach, loses eyesight in one eye, and is badly burnt on one side after being trapped under dragonfire.

everyone keeps going for his fingers. why do they all go for his fingers? the bones grow back stronger every time, and the skin gets though. he takes great care, with honey and goat milk and possibly the blood of some animals, to make certain the skin remains supple.

does a great deal of physical therapy and stretching even in valinor, as all singers and musicians do. guy who will start improv rehearsal exercises whenever.

gap-style tattoos.

strongly attached to his old layered surcoat of mail and silk (enchanted not to catch fire, enough mesh to keep out arrows and spears) (the fraying brocade leaves damning red thread wherever he passes).

furry hats aplenty. no armour. on account that if you wear armour around a wyrm, that's not your head, that's some wyrm's roasted dinner in a plate.

very curly hair as a prince, perfumed and often decorated with chains and headdresses. stiff braids bound with chains of gold coins as a regent and lord; goes half-wavy and half-straight with stress. fully pin-straight after the 3rd kinslaying. braids fall apart and off, sometimes, in ratty strands, once the salt eats at them enough.

on the other hand, his thick eyelashes and eyebrows remain very striking through his wanderings! so there's that.

veggiesforpresident said: wait whats up with irl cult deprogramming?

---------------------

*long sigh* 

Okay, to preface all this, here’s a massive content warning for pretty much everything you can think of. I’m happy to talk more about this subject, but it gets very heinous very fast.

The main issue with the actual IRL cult deprogramming movement was that it was headed up by fundie Christians, and they were the ones who were allowed to decide what constituted a cult and what measures were necessary to get someone out of one.

I think people have this mental image of a bunch of trained professionals using therapy to convince someone to not be in a cult anymore, but that’s... not what it was.

The fact of the matter is that cult deprogrammers used and abused laws designed to protect the mentally ill in order to strip healthy, able-bodied adults of their legal rights. Think about Britney Spears for a few minutes and you’ll start to see how this became very dangerous very fast.

Parents of adult children in New Religious Movements (NRMs, the less-loaded academic term for “cults”) would often lobby judges to have their children labeled as legally incompetent and incapable of making their own decisions so they could get them out of these groups. The problem was, the only evidence you really needed of your child’s “insanity” was that they’d joined the group to start with.

And people always imagine... you know, Jonestown. Children of God. Truly heinous, dangerous groups. But if we’ll all kindly remember the Satanic Panic, the fact of the matter was that anything non-mainstream conservative Christian could be considered a cult.

Sure, it’s imperative to get someone out of something like The Family. But like... what if your kid is just kind of a hippie? What if they’ve joined some kind of pseudo-Buddhist New Age group? What if they’ve joined a socialist club at their university? What if they’re just kinda goth?

What if they’re gay?

Once these adults were stripped of their legal rights, their parents could do pretty much anything to them. That usually involved hiring a deprogrammer. That deprogrammer would then literally kidnap them (I’m talking throwing people in vans) and then drive them to an isolated location. They would then do anything they could to “break” the person. The goal was to break them so they could then build them back up the “right” way -- in other words, using the exact same tactics as the most dangerous NRMs.

These were not trained professionals, mind. These weren’t social workers or something. These were just random assholes who had the stomach for it. We have records of brutal beatings. Tying people up and denying them food, water, and sleep for days. Extreme emotional and physical abuse. Rape.

The worst case I can think of is that of Stephanie Riethmiller. She was a 19-20yo woman who had distanced herself from her parents after she left home for college, for reasons which I think will become immediately apparent. Her parents believed it was because she’d entered into a lesbian relationship with her roommate and had been led astray. So they hired cult deprogrammers to “fix” her. Stephanie was maced and thrown into a van and driven to another state, where she was chained up, beaten, and “correctively raped” for five days straight. Her parents were there in the house and approved of all of it.

After Stephanie was released, she attempted to bring charges against her parents and the people who had abused her, but the courts basically argued that any means were necessary when it came to deprogramming a lesbian. Despite not denying what they did, all parties got away with it. No jail time was served. This happened in 1982 in my hometown of Hamilton County, Ohio. 🙃

Ted Patrick, the quintessential cult deprogrammer, was involved in all of this. He didn’t do this deprogramming himself, but when her parents reached out to him with thousands of dollars, he recommended the people who did, helped make arrangements, and was paid for it.

They made a Drunk History episode about him calling him a hero and I just about threw up.

I guess the thing about cult deprogramming is... again. Who’s deciding what is and isn’t a cult? Who’s deciding what “deprogramming” looks like? Who’s deciding how far you can legally go? Who’s deciding what “normal” is?

I’ll leave you with this. Think about Fox News. Think about these fucking Republicans getting all het up over ~your children~ going to college. Learning new things. Becoming socialists. Becoming atheists. Becoming “brainwashed” by the libs.

Think about all this rhetoric about “groomers”.

Then think about a court system that will allow your insane, weirdo QAnon parents that you’ve gone no contact with to track you down and “reverse” all that by any means necessary.

Think about how terrifying that concept is if you’re part of literally any marginalized group.

And that was just... the late 70s through early 90s. People were so whipped up by things like the Mansons in 1969 and Jonestown in 1978 and the Satanic Panic of the 80s that they would allow people to do anything if they said it was going to be protecting people from cults.

Anything.

And they did.

And that’s why I fully believe that, as dangerous as some NRMs truly are, as vile and abusive and life-ruining? Yeah. The deprogrammers were often just as bad.

I just realised I had never considered roy’s shredded intestines wtf. I also think Riza lived because she is a pokemon with high affection stats and didn’t wanna dissapoint anyone, so she toughed it out on 1hp :”)

SHDJDHAHAHAHAHA I LOVE THAT EXPLANATION OF RIZA SURVIVING THE PROMISED DAY. roy played a Lot of riza amie......... hang on im getting Ideas that everyone may or may not be subjected to once i get my ipad in the mail, so im gonna leave that at that

but yeah the fact hes literally walking around fine THE NEXT DAY after the 3rd lab fight makes me so insane i start biting. he had his abdomen bandaged and i think he had an iv, but (at least in the anime) no mention of surgery, blood transfusion, physical therapy/rehab, ANYTHINGGGGG!!!! lusts ultimate spear pierced his ENTIRE BODY her fingers were sticking out of his BACK. searing the surface wounds closed surely wouldnt be enough to save him, let alone leave him in as good a condition as he walked away in

[vixlenxe]

The main thing I'm figuring out rn for my 'Haurchefant Lives AU' is what happens to Haurchefant at the end of The Vault. I don't want to change how Ivy behaves afterwards(her Hyper violence era), & Haurchefant's death acts as the catalyst for Ivy & Tiffanie's relationship improving, as well as Tiffanie shift to wanting to seek strength for herself. So for these to still be factors, I still need him to get injured pretty badly.

I could let him still be run through the gut & have Ivy save him, given she is a healer, but now that I know Alphinaud is there(he wasn't there in the original cutscene btw, for some reason square deicide to patch in the child to the traumatic event to drop one line) & even he says healing isn't good enough, I've had to think of a different way.

So, for my Haurchefant, instead of getting run through the gut, he will in hip checked by Zephirin's Spear of Light(yes that means I'm also headcanoning Zep has bad aim. Fuck him.). Haurche never turns around to block the spear because he never notices it, him & the WoL just keep running straight forward & the result is the spear hitting his hip, he cries out from the pain & the force from the spear sends him to the floor pretty quickly. Him crying out makes Ivy turn around & lets Thordan & his twelve knights escape, because she's more concerned about him. The impact to him hitting the floor does send him unconscious, & does make him appear dead, which will scare & effect Ivy enough to make her the revenge hungry & angry woman that she is from that moment until the end of 4.0 in Stormblood & it will still send Ivy to cry of Tiffanie's shoulder & inspire the younger sister to want to seek strength so Ivy doesn't have to cry like that ever again.

I haven't decided when he wakes up exactly, but Haurchefant most likely comes back to consciousness somewhere between the end of 3.1 & the beginning of 3.4(basically before all the stuff with The Griffin goes hard). He will be weak & out of shape, & likely still need a bit of physical therapy to getting himself back into shape. Though he will be back into fighting shape before the level 68-70 MSQ quests in Stormblood, which is what I want, as I want him to be present for the Ala Mhigian battles & to assist in helping Ivy curb her overly violent behavior before her 3rd fight with Zenos(as the factor that spawned such behavior, it be only right for him to be the factor that eases that behavior as well).

Tagged by @behindthelabelsand @cafecitowriter

I'm just choosing from random because decisions

1. A Christmas Miracle (Steggy) “Very much like how a certain someone is stubborn,” he shot back, sitting across from her and spearing a bit of egg on his fork. “Ma has a cure for just about any ailment. I might’ve been writing to her and mentioned your ailments. She suggested tea, actually sent it in her care package and had this ridiculous idea that you might be pregnant.”

2. Captain America Story Time (Stucky ft. Fem!Bucky) Oh no, no. That sounded wrong, too wrong. He shouldn't have said that. His heart jumped to his throat, his eyes widening in pure terror. He almost knocked over a few decorations on his desk to throw his hands up in defense. “I-I didn’t mean it like that! I meant A-Alpine! I’d love to scratch - love on Alpine, I mean. I mean, not like you aren’t...that I wouldn’t... Fudge knuckles.”

3. The Best Things In Life Are Unpredictable (Steggy) The news hit him hard, his body feeling lighter than it has in weeks. He held a hand to his mouth, feeling a sobbing gasp escape him. He was going to be a father! Look at him - a father! In truth, he’d never thought he’d get such an opportunity in life, even before the serum and now here he was.

4. Meeting The Brother (Winterhawk) “It’s fine. Barney here ain’t saying anything I haven’t thought about myself. Or haven’t beat myself up for the past few days. I don’t think I’ll ever forgive myself for not being there. Wanna know where the hell I was? Your brother sent me away, gave me the diversion of helpin’ fix my family’s house in California. He knew what he was doin’, trying to protect lives he has no reason to bother to protect. Too proud.”

5. The Transparent Hand Of Lives Gone By (Steggy) Peggy looked down as Steve's hand ripped from hers. She felt like she was watching everything in slow motion, as he ran from them. She didn’t miss the horrified look on his face, this was news to him. She followed after him, shouting his name just as his parents did. “Steve! Steve, stop! It doesn’t matter if you’re a ghost, you’re still my best friend! We can still do the things we talked about! I don’t care if you’re...you’re dead!”

6. Gut Feelings Are Never Good (Steggy) “People change,” Hunter mused, shrugging his shoulders. Steve hadn’t even seen the man come in, his hands held up when Steve whirled on him and took three strides closer. There was a good foot height difference between them. “She’s dying and when people start to go, they get desperate. Look, Cap, no ones blaming her if she did but the evidence says she’s working for Whitehall, and if that’s so, then-“

7. running on borrowed time (Steggy) “You’re not kidding about Pining Sickness,” he mumbled to Jarvis. “I didn’t realize it gets this bad, this fast, but with his delicate hormones, the pregnancy. It’s no wonder. Looks like he had enough sense to get something to eat and drink.” He toed at the countless bottles of water, a glass overturned, and the old bowl of soup on the bedside table. 

8. let the walls down and let me in (Steggy) “I’m not calling you anything,” Steve replied in a demanding tone that caught her attention. When Peggy looked into his baby blue eyes she saw nothing but compassion and sorrow. “Because you are not a traitor for wanting to cradle a boy who was dying from one of our weapons. You’re not a traitor for wanting to give him comfort, Peggy. And I will make sure others think the same.”  

9. One Foot In Front Of The Other (Steggy) It’s been almost a month of physical therapy and he is getting better. His leg wasn’t as slow, his hip still hurt like hell, and the nerves still burned but he was getting better. Natasha was still volunteering to help him during his physical therapy days but today wasn’t an appointment. It was a Tuesday, a day he purposely came in, in hopes to avoid Peggy. 

10. The Future Wasn't Kind To You, Was It? (Steggy) She flipped him over to rub the oils into his chest, careful of scars and tender spots. She straddled his hips without applying too much pressure, letting her fingers work over the hard pecs. She paused at every scar and mark unknown to her, gently pressing soft kisses to them before rubbing the oils into his skin. He looked down at her with an adorable, half-smile as he struggled to stay awake.
