Why My Boys Like Me

None of the other adults get it. Why do the kids always want to be around me? After all, Uncle Tyler is always mean to them, calls them names, makes fun of them, and tortures them for laughs. Yet the kids follow me around like lost puppies, doing whatever I say in whatever ridiculous game I decide we're playing this time.

It's especially bad with my boys. The three oldest, closer in age to me than their mothers are. They've always been my subjects, and dealt with some of the worst punishments I could dole out. From wrestling with the big strong uncle to beatings with foam swords, I've always been an awful bully to them.

At least, that's what everyone else thinks. They've never understood how it really is, far removed from their inner child as they are.

Once they're old enough to join the club of "Uncle Tyler's Room," they learn the rules quick. Those kids are all treated as equals. From the 20-year-old to the 6-year-old, to even me, nobody's exempt from the rules of the game. Play as a team, don't bad mouth people, share the controllers or the weapons, play fair, and plenty of other rules that children grasp immediately but adults have trouble with. We all play together, and if anyone acts out, everyone has to get out. They police themselves that way.

I also talk to them like humans. The other adults treat them like children, which they are, but to others that means treating them soft. What the adults view as being mean, is just talking to them like I'd talk to anyone else. Snide comments, jokes they're the butt of, and honest criticism when they deserve it. The kids eat it up, for better or worse, and they seem to honestly appreciate it.

For the boys, my boys, it's a bit more complicated. I grew up only a few years before them, and they watched me turn from a vicious, vindictive asshole, into somebody who wields their iron fist with a gentler hand. In turn, I got to watch them grow from kids who needed correcting every five minutes into young men who can play for hours even among the younger ones without losing their cools.

The boys understood while I always made them play as a team. I played the games all the time, so they had to use teamwork to kill me. I also stacked the odds against me, doing everything I could to make it possible for them, while also not holding back or letting them win. It's a weird sense of fairness, and even now we still play them.

Even when we were wrestling or fighting with swords, there was a weird sense of respect. They could hit me with whatever, and I'd do my best not to hurt them in return. I never lied about taking a hit, taught them a bit about what kind of hits a human body could take, and showed them some proper techniques on how to do fight.

As they got older, they learned that I was on their side first. Not their mothers', not my mother's, theirs. If something was going on, I was their first call, and I got there as soon as I could. Whether it was calming down their mothers, mediating a conversation, or picking them up from school.

They also learned that they could talk to me without me judging them. We talked about their struggles, their interests, hell even their sexuality. Sometimes they just wanted to know my experiences or opinions on something. Sometimes they just wanted to hear about the things I can't talk about in front of their mothers. More than once they'd gotten into a sticky spot and needed advice or help. I still told them how stupid they or their choices were, but I helped anyway.

My boys also learned how fiercely protective of them I could boy. From beating the shit out of three high-school punks who thought they could jump a middle-schooler, to getting into a shouting match with a Karen who couldn't handle an honest mistake from a teenager, to taking in a boy who's own mother had just kicked him out.

The boys have all called me "dad" at one point or another, and we just pretend I didn't hear it. They don't really have fathers themselves, but maybe having an Uncle Tyler is almost as good.

You know how we just found out that Henderson got married?

What if it turns out that Yuri's boss is a child from that marriage? Just imagine Martha meeting Henry again only to discover that not only did he get married, but he also has a child as well. Talk about twisting the knife!

A marriage doesn't need love in order to produce children, and I imagine being raised by parents who don't love each other could mess one up enough to join the SSS.

Since Henry is 66, I don't believe this theory necessarily contradicts the fan theory that Yuri's boss is Loid's dad, but I'll admit I'm not convinced that Endo is going to connected his characters to this degree. Then again, Henry is shown to be blond in his youth, so I suppose that's another point in the favor of this theory. Then again, my math might be a little off

Hi, hello. I stumbled upon one of your Fo4 fics on Ao3 a while ago. I think it's really cool that you're so unapologetically willing to write stuff about your OC.

I've gotten really used to people hating on OC or Self Insert fics that I can get really self-conscious about posting my works.

But you have a whole tumblr blog dedicated to your OC! And your writing is really good and I just think all the work you've done is so cool. I just wanted to let you know ☺️

You’re so sweet! 💕💕💕 Thank you, I’m always glad to hear when people happen to stumble on my blog and stick around!

And yeah, I did just kinda burst in here and shoved my feral kitten problem child with her Detective RoboDad for all to see, and I’m not ashamed of it. I never understood why people would get so mad about people posting about their own OCs even if they are self inserts, I don’t see anything wrong with that.

I did originally worry that the little flower child Jasmine/Rosalinda was too much like me despite the fact that our personalities are wildly different so I toned down some of her background and even thought about giving her a complete overhaul, but now I think SCREW IT- she’s a Mexicana now! Because I can write and portray an actual Latino character accurately so I might as well with her like I had planned from the start.

All that to say that I had my own insecurities, but thankfully I bloomed pass that with support from some beautiful Tumblr friends and I hope to continue making more content in the future. 💖💖💖💖

And Bestie, go ahead and go wild with writing about your own OC if it makes you happy. And yeet any haters out of the metaphorical window while you’re at it.

I just realized why but it's incredibly frustrating that when making the fnaf movie they decided william's pseudonym should be steve raglan instead of. dave miller. the actual fake name he uses in the franchise

Got a bit inspired and might have a new take on the "Starline brainwashed Sonic" idea...

[tswwwit]

Does Bill know Dipper's real name, and if not, how would he react to learning it's "Mason?" Under what circumstances would he call him this??

He already knows, he just hasn't found a reason to use it yet! He's waiting for the right moment.

[villainsidestep]

honestly now that everyone knows they’re a regene what is really stopping fawn from finally getting to use it/its like god intended ?

The Grandest of All Masked Balls

(Day five prompt for Woevember, created by @asouefanworkevent)

VFD masquerade balls are set with high standards. Extremely high stands. They are about showing off the best that a volunteer has to offer. This means dressing up in their finest clothes and wear lavish masks that one hides in, even if one doesn’t have the means to afford it. This means decorations that are the most expensive and extravagant that would excite the guests.

The grandest of all the balls to ever be was hosted by Sabine, the Duchess of Winnipeg. Lasting over a course of a week, guests found themselves staying at the Duchess’ grand, enormous home that is the castle mansion, on the Duchess’ insisting.

Such a ball had Sabine’s heir apparent, Rina, watching in secret every night when she ought to be sleeping, deciding that one day she too will have a grand masked ball.
