Huddle Reunion

(Roleswap Au Edition)

I am once again writing a Dedede and Mama D reunion fic, this time within the context of @jojo-schmo's katfl roleswap au because I'm obsessed with it.

(warning: tagged for panic attack)

She felt like she was forgetting something.

That just had to be in her head right? Frozha was positive that she had grabbed every single waddle dee from that horrible place... a lab, she believes it was referred to? Whatever the place was called, the poor darlings were being used to power something. She didn't know what however...

But now, she was returning the large group of tired and overstimulated waddle dees back to Waddle Dee Town. Looking down at the ground as she walked, the feeling that she had forgotten something important still tingling the back of her mind.

That's when the sound of several excited waddle dees caught Frozha's attention. Looking up, she had not only noticed that they had made it to town, but she could see multiple dees run up to the group behind her and greet their friends and family.

The sight had put a smile on her face, it had reminded her of her old family and how her chick would greet each parent whenever one of them had returned home.

But now that once little chick is grown, standing in the same town she had just stepped foot in, and has a family of his own. One that didn't involve her... but she didn't mind. She had no right to be bothered by it after all. She couldn't expect him to remember her when he was so young that he was practically still learning to speak when he went missing.

He didn't remember her, and it was for the best that she accepted that and let him move on with his life, and Frozha was fine with that!

But then she started noticing that some of the waddle dees were looking at her... Strangely... It was a mixture of shock and confusion on their faces.

Which she guessed made sense, she was pretty banged up from having to fight some Beast Pack critters, but she was fine if you ignored the fact that a few areas of her old back scars opened up a bit.

But then she noticed that not only were there awoofies and other members of the Beast Pack here, but they were also looking at her with the same expression. But Dedede, as well as his family, also wore the same expression on their faces.

Okay, CLEARLY there was something wrong with her appearance that she wasn't aware of.

Was her head bleeding more than she thought it was? It was starting to hurt like a boulder was thrown at her. So maybe that was it?

She moved her hand towards her forehead where she had been hit and wiped, and looked down at her hand. Okay... not as much blood as you would expect, but she was still bleeding pretty bad. She could figure that much out due to the still fresh crimson blood covering her blue feathered hand...

Blue...?

Blue...

BLUE!!!

Oh stars, she forgot to change her feathers back to white! They all see that she looks like him now! HE SEES THAT SHE LOOKS LIKE HIM NOW!!!

Frozha began to panic. This wasn't supposed to happen. She was supposed to just help the waddle dees and then be on her way back to the Frozen Lands. She wasn't supposed to be seen like this. Now he's gonna yell at her, maybe even scream. God knows that wouldn't be the first family member to do so.

But not him, PLEASE not from him! She won't be able to handle that! She can't hear him tell her what she's been telling herself all these years!

She can't hear him say that she's a bad- no-a horrible mother! Asking why she didn't look hard enough for him, why she didn't fight harder for him, WHY SHE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING TO HIM-

"H-hey!... You alright?"

Frozha looked up towards the voice (when did she drop to her knees?) and saw Dedede, her son, looking down at her. Not with anger like she was expecting, but with concern.

She released the breath she didn't realize she was holding as King Dedede stood in front of her.

The woman who had helped with saving all of his subjects, the woman who, for some reason, now looks exactly like him???

He wanted to ask her why she looked like him, but instead asked another question.

"Do you need help with your injuries? I can help you if you're alright with that." He says as he lowers his hand to her to help her to her feet.

Frozha stared at his hand for a moment before taking it and struggling to climb her feet, the adrenaline from the previous battle disappearing, hissing slightly as the pain starting to rise.

Dedede carefully supported the woman as they walked over to his designated bench to help her patch up her wounds.

*A few minutes later*

"Alright! That should do it for your head! Now for your back!" Dedede said as he set aside the bandages and admired his work.

It was... Okay... He might have wrapped her head a bit too much, as he mentally noted after seeing that it looked like the top of her head looked like the beginnings of a failed mummy cosplay.

But hey, to his credit he wasn't a medic. Sure he could've just gotten one to take care of her, but he figured he could kill two birds with one stone and help with her wounds and maybe get some answers with some small talk...

Which was strangely difficult to initiate.

"Sooo...Uuhhh..." Welp. It's either now or never.

He awkwardly asked the question. "How come you look like me all of the sudden? If you don't mind me asking."

Frozha stiffened. "W-Well... Um..." Her voice cracked a little as she stuttered out her words. Should she tell him? She really didn't want to deal with the impending denial of it all. But at the same time, he did deserve to know.

..... Welp... It's either now or never...

She sighed before speaking, releasing the tightness from her chest.

"Okay, before I tell you, I just want to say that I 100% do not blame you if you don't believe me." Dedede raised a brow.

"I....am your mother... I lost you many years ago... back when you were still a little chick, because I failed to protect you... I didn't say anything because I've seen that you now have a wonderful family of your own and I didn't want to interfere with that..."

Frozha paused, not looking up from the ground. She was terrified of the possible expression her son would have on his face.

She continued. "If, you want me to leave and never bother you or your family again, I'd completely understand and respect-"

She's suddenly wrapped in the tightest hug she's ever felt in her life.

Dedede had unexpectedly hugged her. Holding Frozha so tightly as if he was holding onto her for dear life. Not only that but it's sounded like... He was starting cry?

"I can't believe it... I have a mom... An absolutely amazing mom..." He wiped his face and hugged her tighter.

Frozha hissed. "Ouuuch... Agh..."

Oh. Right. Her back wounds. Woops...

"Sorry about that, I completely forgot about your back for a second. Can you move your shirt?" Dedede apologized and went back to cleaning and bandaging the wounds.

As he did that, Frozha told him how he and his father were ambushed and how his father fought to protect him, but in the end sadly lost his life. And how the ambushers lured Frozha to them just so they could attack her, and force her to watch as one of them dropped him down a ravine.

She told him how she searched for him in that ravine for almost one and a half years.

Frozha talked and Dedede listened as he finished caring for his mother.

When he was done double checking the bandages, all he wanted to do was to hug his mom.

And he did. She hugged him back, and asked him if he'd like to tell her more about his family.

And he did.

Modern au:

When baby manorian was under the age of two she wasn’t able to speak yet. however, she was able to communicate with her parents by making sounds and shaking her head to say no.

At that time, when Dorian asks her if he’s hungry he always rubs her stomach while getting her food. She picked up on it, and every time she gets hungry, she’d walk up to the nearest parent and rub her stomach while complaining in baby talk. They’d instantly know that she’s hungry and get her food because poor baby is in need of sustenance

Here you are dears, for all your hard work

….

sylvia stares at the offer, knowing full well what this is. She stares at her friends as she continues to sweat, no one noticing her fear, they all are excitedly discussing about this, ofc not knowing a damn thing about this place—

everyone continues to be excited around her, discussing what they’ll do at the hotel. Sylvia closes her eyes in frustration and stares dead pan at the question “no”

at that moment everyone stares at Sylvia, usagi giving a worried but very very confused brow “sorry what-?”

sylvia gives them a cold stare “no, it’s a kind offer, but no…. We will not be going….”

everyone starts refuting her, but they become just noise as she walks away, still holding her cold stare. Usagi was the only one who watched, and she knows he has questions, but she can’t deal with them rn. Not with any of them.

she refuses to put them in any danger, and no where near that place.

even if it seems harmless

even if it’s a diff universe

she can’t go through that again

Thanks for the offer but uh…. She’s got other things to deal with (writing and art by @disgracedghostprincess)

The long awaited Sequel to my TTCC post + a remake of the Chip one because I do not like how it looks

This thread from the CPTSD subreddit about the overabdunance of cheap junk food, but little healthy food (and the weird poverty mindset leading to parents guarding food until it spoils and screaming at anyone who eats [too much] of it or acting like they were planning to eat it, but if you don't eat from it, it gets thrown out) is so illuminating.

[boxb0ysroom]

Maybe one day, just ONE DAY I'll color this. Anyway, get a cute little Benetti confused in da corner with a completely screwed over moonscorched Benetti questioning his life like the cool boy he is.

[microfeelings]

I just had a rant (with myself) about the character of Mama Jones in 2003 and how she was reduced to "haha, she babies her son and is basically looking for a babysitter for him lol" and how much I HATED that! She lost her husband to a very violent attack (implied), Casey was involved in this (also implied but for the life of me I cant get the timeline straight), the store her husband had got burned. This woman should have heeps of trauma that she most likely buried deep because SHE HAD TO RAISE CASEY ON HER OWN (I guess its implied theres an uncle or auntie bc of cousin sid, but theres no mention of them so I can only imagined they fucked right off), and she got reduced to that?? Come on 2003 you can do better. I KNOW you can do better

(Extra info on the notes bc its mostly ranting and it wouldnt make sense on the main post)

[passionfruitmango]

Honestly I think I'd be just fucking fine if my mom at least liked me

[the-darkness-does-not-bargain]

Trying to balance Ava's canon unwillingness to talk about her trauma while also addressing the moments in s1 where she doesn't correct people's unfair assumptions about her is... a little difficult.

Genie: you have three wishes

Me: I wish for brown mamas that favor their daughters the way they favor their sons the whole time, without the years of trauma and growth

Genie: ....

Genie: you have three wishes-

[cilantroodon]

it's not that I didn't feel loved by mama as a kid OR that I don't feel loved by her now. it's that if I knew, as a kid, what I know now, I would not have felt loved then. which. dunno what to do with that feeling
