#the WHOLE family weird

[starshapedoasis]

[asha-mage]

MDZS AU where Jiang Cheng realizes that Lan Sizhui is the Wen orphan that Wei Wuxian took care off during the Burial Mounds arc, decides that's close enough to qualify him as Nephew, declares that no Nephew of His (much less a surrogate son of Wei Wuxian's) is going to be raised in the Cloud Recedes, and immediately launches into a custody battle with Lan Wangji.

But since neither Jiang Cheng or Lan Wangji can acknowledge that Sizuhi has any connection to Wei Wuxian, both begin steadfastly and stubbornly insisting that he is a Cultivator of peerless potential and skill and he belongs in their sect thank you very much, and would clearly be very unhappy in the other's. This confuses the hell out of the already mystified Cultivation world, who had barely adjusted yet to gossiping about Sizhui being Wangji's illegitimate child by mysterious love affair.

(Eventually the common consensus in the rumor mills is that both JC and LW where in love with Sizhui's mother and both believe themselves to be Sizhui's real father.)

(LW couldn't care less what gossips say, but JC has to bite his tongue till it bleeds to avoid telling anyone the truth in a fit of anger.)

(It was Nie Huaisang who put that rumor out in the first place, partly to troll JC, partly because, in a way, it's a little true.)

anyone else have multiple traumatic memories associated specifically with holidays/family vacations? because that is a topic I never see discussed in all the So You Had A Shitty Childhood, Now What? self-help books i've been reading. but for me, it was a significant thing. and the more i think about it the more it seems like this would be an (unfortunately) common experience. would be grateful to hear if this matches other peoples' experiences...

cringe ass family ❤

Tim *on his 68th hour of no sleep trying to finish the cases he stole from the cave after being banished to titans tower because of red hood, fully believing he's all alone there*: ok but what if we blow up the tower, fake our deaths, and take a 3 week vacation? Way more effective than just sending me here and hope for the best with the unhinged murderer fixated on me.

YJ *worried about their team leader and annoyed at their mentors, actually considering*: sure, why not?

Bart: I'll go get the explosives.

Kon: but how will they know we died here?

Tim *fully invested now*: the cameras don't have audio, we have a bunch of our blood and we can drop a bag of our teeth plus some kryptonite to make it convincing.

Kon *shrugs*: close enough.

Clark spending like… forever building up the courage to tell Bruce he’s in love with him

All for Bruce to be like “wdym we have been together for 20+ years and married for like 15 years?”

family came by to see me for a bit right after my shake. while i was talking to them i had to do my hardest to not let them know i was out of breath just by walking around 😭

i think they noticed ngl

not everyone needs to see other people, and those who don't have transcended their biology and may in fact be on the first steps towards evolving into a being of pure energy; it is extremely enviable

Guess who's fallen back into gunbug hell again 😔

I’ll go to hell if you’re there!

In the spirit of Jason getting a golden retriever boyfriend (Roy doesn’t count, he’s a ginger raccoon) have some headcanons about the batfamily slowly absorbing him into the clique:

Jaime thinks Dick and Tim are the same person so he’s under the impression Jason has only one brother

Jason thinks that’s hilarious and doesn’t correct him at all

Thought Bruce was Jason’s brother too and Bruce loved him like his child ever since

Damian loves Jaime so much? It’s actually pretty hilarious. “Damian, can you grab me a coffee?” “Can, yes. Will I? No.”

“Hey little dude can you bring me —“ “I will kill for you, Reyes.””…Thank you?” “Please ask me to kill for you.”

“I’m going over to Jaime’s.” Damian’s limbs lock around Jason’s legs. “WE are going.”

Steph texts him the most random shit at like 2 in the morning and doesn’t elaborate. “got stabbed behind a Taco Bell lol” “?????????” “do u want a nightwing supreme “

DUKE AND JAIME BONDING!!! they love making fun of Jason’s tough guy persona and pull pranks on Bruce together.

If Jason and Jaime have an argument, Dick WILL show up at his dorm’s door with the biggest puppy eyes in the world. “Please don’t make me beat you up. You have the softest baby face in the world. It’s freaky.”

Bruce pays his student loans out of the blue and Jaime has no idea how to function with that.

rewatched Kurogiri's holiday story from ultra impact (not related to sketch at all)

(but it did inspire me)

on another note

finally!!

nap time...

Unbelievably hilarious that the roguish thief who has been, according to his actor, “living rough out in the wild” also has the most delicate, finicky, complicated, and most easily messed up hairstyle. Nori spends like 80% of the trilogy looking like an absolute mess. What was the move there dude.

Why is every Billy ship qualifiable for Rare Pair status or pedophilia

Like, there’s the obvious Beatuia and Diana (which is extra uncomfy for me bc I like them as sibling coded over anything else but that is just me)

Then there’s the characters he has so few appearances and time spent with, like Damian or Jon, and literally anything that isn’t him getting shipped with Freddy I’ve heard of seems like a Rare Pair. Or… maybe not since he’s not as popular a character and maybe this is just part of for the course with his status, but really, his love life is seriously limited

I just had the intense realization that Alastor, aka the last person in universe that anyone would ever consider to be sentimental or the type to consider his friends family, was the first person to coin the term Found Family in CANON! Legit he was the first to bring up the idea of the Hotel being a family!

YEAH NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT??? I didn't even fully see them as a found family before he brought it up ahah, that line in the song made me think about it harder and be like "Oh wait YEAH they kinda are"

I don't think he was sincere at that moment ("I'm making Charlie believe we are a family so she doesn't feel the need to reconnect with her dad" yk) but it means the idea of them being a family was already somewhere in the back of his head 👀 Alastor is there something you would like to share with the class

[ink-the-artist]

forgive me if you've been asked this before or if its annoying, but how did you learn to use colored pencils like that? your art is so special to me.

ty :) I took an art class for a few years where our teacher had us buy prismacolor pencils as one of the art supplies and had us use them kinda like paints, pressing down hard right away and blending the colors together. its not how youre supposed to use them she was just trying to teach us to use color and ig this was more to the point. I picked them up again years after i stopped going to that class just bc they were there and i wanted to play around w them a bit and ended up actually enjoying it when doing it on my own terms lol

Can't stop thinking about. Liliana leaving Imogen and Relvin for reasons they never understood and that she never tried to truly clarify. About Relvin being too much of a coward to love Imogen at her most vulnerable and desperate. About Imogen leaving Gelvaan (and Relvin) at the first glimpse of reciprocity and understanding in a person.

Can't stop thinking about: "There is no loyalty that comes with this blood."
