Christmas miracle 🎄🎁

Liz and Ressler had been married for almost two years. About six months ago, they went to an adoption agency, filled out the paperwork and everything, but there was almost always a problem. When the appointment was available, they had work. When they were available, the mother had already found other parents. Therefore the couple remained on hold.

Reddington offered to help them with the papers and the whole process, but Liz didn't want Red to interfere in the process, she and Ressler wanted to do things correctly and legally.

A month ago, Liz and Ressler were in an operation and rescued many people who were victims of kidnapping and human trafficking. There were children working who were passing merchandise through tunnels, there were women who had been abused, and there were some women who were pregnant.

And there was a woman who was in charge of a little 1 year old baby. Unfortunately her friend had died in childbirth and she was taking care of the baby.

Liz was horrified by what she was seeing. They rescued the people and gave them the necessary medical care.

Both Liz and Ressler had grown fond of the baby. And Reddington didn't let it pass.

It was Christmas time. And the team had made a Christmas dinner a few days before, since some agents were going to travel to spend Christmas with their relatives. In this case, Liz and Ressler were planning to spend Christmas with the Ressler family.

A week before, the couple received a notification advising them that they had been approved to adopt, and that for now they would remain on the waiting list.

They were happy for the news and for that same reason they wanted to spend Christmas at Ressler's house to be able to break the news to them.

On the other hand Reddington kept thinking about the little girl they had rescued weeks ago. He saw how adorable she looked in the couple's arms. When he learned that the couple had been approved to adopt, he decided to give them a little help.

Red pulled strings so that the girl was in the system and more than anything, so that the girl reached the couple. Reddington found the girl and began reviewing her documents so that she would be approved and could be turned over to her future parents.

The agency received a notification that a couple had been approved and a girl was also available. The documents matched the interests of the parents.

The little baby had already found parents who would adopt her.

Reddington made sure all the documents were in order and most of all, he made sure everything was legal as the couple wanted.

When Liz and Ressler arrived in Detroit they received a notification telling them that they had found a girl for them. And that they could now take her home with them.

They both got excited and asked about the girl. The lady said that she was in a family home in Detroit and they could stop by that same day or the next day.

Liz was surprised that she was in Detroit, right where they were.

They arrived at Ressler's house, left their things, and with few explanations given to the family, they went looking for the baby.

When they arrived at the family home, they were surprised that it was the girl they had rescued months ago. Liz cried with emotion when she saw that she would be her daughter. She was thrilled to know that now she would have a family and she would no longer suffer.

"She's beautiful, I can't believe it." Ressler said.

"She's a girl, we have a girl," Liz yelled with excitement.

Ressler and Liz hugged, filled out and signed some papers and now it was official. They would be parents to a girl. On the way home, the couple got a call, it was Reddington.

"Merry Christmas Lizzy and Ressler. I found out that they are already parents of a girl."

"Please tell me you didn't do anything illegal. We told you not to interfere in the process."

"Calm Donald. Everything was completely legal. I promise. I saw that they had both grown fond of little Catalina, I checked the system and she was available to adopt her. All I did was make sure she had you as parents. She needs a family and you want one. Now she will have love and she will lack nothing because you will be great parents."

"Thank you Red. We appreciate your help." Liz said

"Thank you Reddington, for helping us with this process. But seriously, please don't interfere again, we want to do it the right way." said Ressler

"And I promise you that it was and it will be. You can review the stationery and the whole process. I promise you that everything was completely legal and correct. I wouldn't risk this opportunity being lost because of me."

"Thank you very much and merry christmas."

When they got home, Ressler's family was happy and also very excited because they had already been able to complete all the documents and finally, they had the opportunity to be parents.

"She is a beautiful girl. I'm already a grandmother." Ressler's mother said.

"And I already have a little niece, oh dear. I am very happy that you are already a father." Ressler's aunt said.

Everyone excited, hugged and held the baby.

"This is a Christmas miracle." Ressler's mother said.

"Yes, this is definitely a miracle," Liz said.

The family had dinner, photographs were taken and they did not stop giving love to Catalina.

"I can not believe it. We are already parents. Don, this is really happening, we are officially parents." Liz said crying with emotion.

"Yes Liz. We have a daughter. A little baby who will need a lot of love. And we have love to spare. She will grow up in good hands. She will be alright."

Liz and Ressler hugged and kissed. They were both happy to have a girl and to be parents.

They took a picture with the girl at the Christmas tree. The family continued to laugh and celebrate the happiness of having one more member in the family.

And from that day on, Christmas was never the same again. This Christmas was a very special Christmas because it was the day Catalina came home. And it was the day that Liz and Ressler officially became parents. And now they had a way to go in the company of her daughter, Catalina.

When the window's frozen shut so you have to go outside to smoke instead of just blowing the smoke out of the window but you're too lazy to dress for 13 degree weather just to go outside for a couple minutes

I think the Acotar fandom is one of the oddest ones I’ve seen. AI being used in place of art being so normalized and the bullying of real artists off the app?? Also rare pairs/crackships piss y’all off THAT much??? Like I’m scrolling through the tags and if you ship any ship that isn’t canon/going in that direction you’re COOKED!! It could be a ship with 5 people in it and here come some canon dickrider mad as hell LMFAOOOO

These past few days have reminded me that there is a surprising amount of people who are uncomfortable with vulnerability and don't know how to handle that

[littlespoonevan]

i think the thing for me and the thing that's actually bothering me the most in general is that i don't think any show in 911's category that i've ever watched (that is: network tv shows that run on a weekly basis for most of the year with no definitive or planned ending until cancellation) has gotten better after killing off a main character

I was told that tumblr is recommending mostly sad posts from my blog so here!!! Silly jerse with no context

Fizzarolli Regression Headcanons

has always been a playful/intentional regressor, insisting Blitzo clean up when they were kids because he's 'just a baby'

was vaguely aware that it was more than an act: when threatened or flustered, his body gets more clumsy and his brain works slower

insanely obvious when he's regressing: his entire body language changes, his tail either wraps around his legs or he starts fiddling with it in his hands

his regression actually retreated after the fire: he couldn't get back to that safe, cozy place that he remembered

he wondered if it was just another thing that Blitzo had taken with him when he left without a backwards glance

and then, Asmodeus.

Fizz rediscovered his regression through discussions with Asmodeus about kink and Fizzarolli was like 'oh, that's almost but not quite?' and they had a discussion about regression!

Asmodeus is generally familiar with things at the edges of his territory, since he still does a lot of production and sales for them: nonsexual kink and age regression and uses of materials for stim toys instead of bondage gear

Fizzarolli's new regression is very linked to Asmodeus, and the two of them make a lot of time for it!

even though Asmodeus knew about age regression, he didn't have much hands-on experience, because who would trust the demon of lust with such an innocent and vulnerable space?

Fizzarolli would, and Asmodeus thrives in the trust that the two of them share

Fizz is spoiled to hell and back, of course, with treats and stuffed animals and outfits and toys

lots of frog themed gear because of Asmodeus's "Froggy" nickname for him

clingy baby, occasionally pulls Asmodeus out of meetings for more playtime (he literally handles Asmodeus's schedule, he can make sure he catches up later)

falls asleep curled up on Ozzie's chest

puts on shows for Asmodeus with juggling and climbing on top of the fridge while Asmodeus tries to get him back down safely

refuses to eat his vegetables unless there are airplane noises

every time I notice artists' (whose art I adore) notice like, "proshippers don't interact", I feel like I have been slapped in the face and personally insulted. you love my favourite character. I love my favourite character. we might even have the same otp. so what are you afraid of?

I mean, I thought we're all adults here? and can see that fiction is fiction and people get to explore things in fiction without harming anybody? and that's the point of fiction because it's fiction? and as long as it's tagged and can be blacklisted, it's fine? also, I thought we had an understanding on our fav character's personality, because they wouldn't discriminate like that?

(Halsin fucked a chimera. he had sex with Astarion (a vampire, which is against all that druids and nature stand for). he doesn't mind having sex in his bear wildshape. dude is naturally curiois. he doesn't care. he understands.)

gosh. the fandom used to be fun and not so sanitized. you guys are just mean.

upd: this is not about a particular fandom, even though I have a couple examples in mind. I encounter this in every fandom & it's exhausting.

I'm gonna say something that 90% of you will hate but it's what's on my heart—now that we've seen Pedro and Vanessa speak in every interview about how this couple is so passionately in love and dedicated to each other and have been married for decades—I wish we could let this be the ONE Pedro character whose fanfic isn't completely overwhelmed by x reader fic instead of even consiiiidering respecting and exploring his canon relationship 😔

I kind of love how some swifties on twitter still try to get taylor nation notices. they're like well maybe one day secret sessions will happen again and I WILL be on that list!!!

I am re-reading my now former favourite PJO reading the books fic and I realized something.

It's so amusing when the authors in the fics have the gods acting holier than thou. Saying Luke is not innocent or he's evil. The gods acting horrified when their actions are compared to Luke's.

Just looking at the PJO version of the gods so far:

Hades tried to murder Thalia, didn't he literally murder her?

Zeus has tried to murder Percy on several occasions. PJO Zeus is such a major idiot, I don't know how this asshole is still king of the gods.

Zeus murdered Maria, an innocent woman, and tried to kill Hades' young children.

The gods have literally voted on whether to kill literal children who acted in their service

The state of the Hermes' cabin is a clear sign of child abuse.

Apollo literally sees Percy as his errand boy in Singer of Apollo

So many kids died because the gods, Zeus really, were incompetent idiots and had to rely on babies to fight their war for them.

Mr. D is entertaining and all but what the heck was happening in book 2??

Hades imprisoned Percy in TLO so he could foolishly wait for Nico to take on the prophecy.

Ares cursed Percy because he was a sore loser.

But no, Luke is the big bad devil! The gods clutching their pearls to be compared to such a monster!

Gods like Apollo are poor, sad abuse victims 🥺

Gods like Hermes are bound by Ancient laws and can't do anything 😭

I love fics where the gods are good parents or become better parents. But I notice that authors use Luke as the scapegoat in a sense. Because if the gods were good all along, then Luke is just an angry kid who becomes a terrorist for no reason. He didn't know how good he had it, he should be grateful!

I don't understand why Rick is willing to paint Apollo, a literal GOD (I swear the PJO gods are pathetic, no wonder these losers don't have many worshippers) as a poor abuse victim over Luke who was a mortal child let down by all the adults around him. I guess Hal wasn't a thing anymore? That's being swept under the rug I guess so we can better cry over poor Apollo.

I can't believe I'm gonna be the one who writes a post like this but here we go. Comment etiquette

When you want to leave a comment

DON'T say stuff like 'I like the original better', 'this wouldn't happen' etc, except if the creator asked for your input. Otherwise just keep your thoughts to yourself.

DON'T try to promote yourself. This isn't about you, comments like 'wow, nice artwork, check out my stuff too' is a big no-no. Nobody gives a fuck about you, especially if you do that. Post your stuff and leave others. Even if you actually like their work, saying something like that makes you seem insincere.

DON'T say stuff like 'I'm retracting my like' (I've had this one happen before). We don't care. Nobody forced you to like the post in the first place.

DON'T be a smartass. 'Actually in canon bla bla bla', I didn't ask. Let me have my random headcanon in peace.

'This is nice but I ship xyz' or 'this is good but I like X character better' again, we don't care. This post wasn't made for your satisfaction, don't expect to like everything you see online.

Nice comments are always appreciated. It's ok to ask for clarification for something or even state your opinion. But remember, these posts aren't made for specifically you. Sometimes your opinion is completely irrelevant. Always remember you are dealing with real human beings.

Artists are not obliged to share their works with you, we do it because we want to. Don't expect everything to meet your personal standards. For the majority of people, art is just a fun hobby. Respect and understand that.
