Who do you think would be the kind of dad to take their daughter on daddy daughter dates?

My dad used to do this for me and I loved it sm, imo I think everyone should experience that kind of love from their father <3

Ideally, I think all of them, cause that's just how a father should be. Who makes it a bigger deal, though? I think it's the following:

Deuce: He has such fond memories of going out with just him and his mom that I think he'd want to recreate that. He's taking his daughter out to a cute café near the house to spend some time with her and learn about her week at school. Afterwards he'll take her to play at the park and push her on the swings, blissfully listening to her happy squeals and laughter.

Riddle: His mother caused some permanent damage to his ability to make health relationships, this is just a matter of fact. Perhaps now that he's an adult, the relationship between them as improved, but Riddle is terrified of being like his mother. So, while still firm, Riddle indulges his daughter with several daddy-daughter dates, specifically once a week on Sunday from noon to 2pm. They go out to a lovely café that serves the Clover Bakery pastries and have lunch, tea, and strawberry tarts as he listens to her talk about school, friends, and her favorite books. It's his favorite event alongside your dinner dates.

Leona: Okay, so hear me out, if he were to ever have a kid, he'd spoil the shit of them to make sure that they'd never grow up they way he did. So daddy daughter dates are totally a regular thing. He orders all their favorite foods and drinks as he reserves the game room in the royal library, where he teaches her to play chess. His daughter growing up with confidence and assurance in herself is important, so he doesn't go easy on her. But he does offer very helpful tricks and advice til the day he's proud to admit she's locked him into a checkmate.

Floyd: It's less “dates” and more of “let's fuck up as much shit as we can before your other parent gets us in trouble.�� Floyd thinks it's important that his daughter toughens up, so he rough houses with her when they go out, much to her delight. They've gotten kicked out of a few establishments under the sea. Azul begrudgingly lets them in his and his mother's restaurants, where they delight in tormenting him as they eat their takoyaki. They like to have fun.

Jamil: He wants to make sure that his kids know that he loves them and cherishes them no matter what, status or no status. It's hard, feeling like your parents are more concerned about the care and emotions of your charge instead of you. So he regularly takes his daughter on little dates where she can buy little treats for just herself, vent about her duties as a servant (though she gets along surprisingly well with Kalim's oldest), and offer her cuddles in the porch swing. The last one they went on, she got a pair of snake keychains, one for her and one for him. Jamil has it on his key ring when he's working.

Vil: He's thriving, actually. Daddy-daughter dates? No. Daddy-daughter outings! He has fond memories of going out with his father, even as a busy child actor. So, he takes his own daughter to the spa and shopping, instilling expensive taste much to your disapproval. Vil thinks he's simply setting her up with successful self care habits, which you can't deny. He won't mention that she allows him to use silly kid makeup on him in the privacy of their home after their shopping sprees, though. He scrubs his face clean, but always allows you to take pictures, as long as they don't get out to the press. He has an image to uphold.

Rook: The embodiment of a simp and a girl dad, Rook is so in love with his mini-him. Cause let's be real, no matter how much she might look like you, she is a Hunt through and through. Rook reserves one of his family's more remote cabins where he can take her out hunting. He's teaching her the basics of animal tracking, wildness survival, and even shooting. They do briefly turn into family trips instead of daddy-date trips after Rook has to go to the emergency room after accidentally getting shot in his shoulder. He's very proud that his daughter has figured out the basics, but she's crying, and you're frantic. Just in case of an emergency, you tag along with first aid supplies for a little while until your daughter is more confident with her bow.

Malleus: He is SO in love with being a father. He gives no shit about what's on his calendar, if it's daddy-daughter date night, then it's daddy-daughter date night! He will take her scrolling around the gardens as he holds her in his arms and tells her about all the grotesques and gargoyles on the castle. He was so lonely as a child, so he's determined to make sure his own children never feel the same. Between him and her, they have their own Gargoyle Club that meets weekly to visit other castles and admire their architecture. He's yet to convince Leona to let them visit Pride Rock Palace to look at their versions of gargoyles.

Beetle bag! Bag of beetles!!!

This might be my favorite one yet, I love how these fabrics look together and this beetle print is just fantastic

I know I complain about this constantly but it frustrates me whenever I need to edit a template to say "the engineer. She....". Instead of "the engineer. He.....". When it's a female engineer. I don't think anyone else has ever changed the pronouns but IDK! I think we should stop using "he/him" pronouns as the default for engineers on official documents!

Our office is rare in that it's 50% women in engineering so idk why we put up with this.

I know this is a small thing but it frustrates me. I'm really not supposed to edit these letters but I can't help myself with this.

the contrast between elsbeth's tribe (nightsister... commoners? peasants? villagers?) fighting grievous vs talzin's clan (nightsister royalty) is so funny like.

elsbeth's clan: probably-Mother Selena dueling grievous with two fire sickles that melt/short out when hit by lightsabers (grievous didn't even split his arms! it's literally a leisurely spar for him). approximately three archers in the background. one single unit of B1s and B2s plus possibly a handful of commando droids. elsbeth hiding in a tree and falling out.

talzin's clan: Mother Talzin voodooing Dooku from the castle basement and then levitating in a giant electric sphere and zapping the entire droid army for like five minutes straight. Ventress dueling four-arms grievous for equally long. An entire army of archers casually force-speed/force-jumping over entire trees. Grievous' full fleet, a bomber squad, a unit of commando droids, magnaguards, state of the art experimental tanks, more regular tanks, and a full army of B1s/B2s. Daka long-distance-necromancing the entire clan and resurrecting every single dead nightsister in the entire region. Talzin finally not-surrending by turning herself into a force ghost and then promptly going to start a cult to revive herself/the dead nightsisters.

Gregor ID/EGO HCs? 👀

OH MAN IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS....an excuse to ramble abt my fixation and biggest predcrush. i'll keep them under the cut for courtesy's sake

Identities Liu Greg- A relaxed, lazy kind of pred. Pretty open about eating people and welcomes willing meals, letting them climb right into his mouth! It gets him out of work for a while, so he'll take any opportunity to do so. His insides run hotter than the other IDs, so swallowed prey get tired out fast. Chef Greg- We all know him. The guy that eats people cannibal-style. I won't linger on him for too long but he's very much so a more uncaring pred, he has none of his original self's reserved and worried nature. Cares mostly about the flavor of the prey above all else and doesn't give them too much attention after they're ingested unless they're fighty. Rosespanner Greg- The workaholic who needs to be stopped and reminded to eat constantly. You might have to feed yourself to him just to get him to eat! His job puts him under a lot of stress, so eating probably helps relax him and he loosens up once he's full. Definitely appreciates a good belly massage after a long day of work for the office. Kurokumo Greg- Loves to tease! Since he's near constantly kinda tipsy he teases his prey a lot and is pretty physically affectionate with them. Also has a habit of feeding/stuffing his prey beforehand and drinking over them afterwards...hope you don't mind alcohol and snacks joining you! Despite the aloof attitude, he doesn't forget that he's eaten someone and is rather attentive to them even if he won't tell someone else he's eaten someone. G Corp Greg- Aware, but not really ashamed of his buggy parts. He's a more eager pred compared to his normal stuff and is very attentive towards his prey. He will do anything they ask of them without question and seeks to make sure they're as comfortable as possible with them! He would eat someone to protect them if instructed to as well. Zwei Greg- One of my favorites!! A pure protective pred that's a bit shy and reserved about the more...involved protection requests, but he's serious about keeping his swallowed prey safe. He checks in pretty frequently to make sure they're fine...while also taking longer routes to maximize time spent with his charge. Twinhooks Greg- Another one of my faves. Just as teasy as Kurokumo but with a bit more menace. Willing to play rough with his prey and is def more of a fearplay kinda guy, he likes watching and feeling his prey squirm. I think he definitely has a softer side with his favorite prey though, and likes to fawn over them. Edgar Greg- Probably the most reluctant one there is, he's sickly and won't eat anyone without a lot of convincing first. He's always tense on the inside- he's concerned he might hurt his swallowed prey and won't really loosen up until he gets some internal TLC. He really needs the rest and care, though....

E.G.O Legerdemain Greg- Honestly I have the weakest hcs for this one bc it's a starter ego from a kinda weird abno...but if I had to guess he's a tricky sort! Legerdemain transfers to sleight of hand basically, so he would be the type to use wordplay and tricks to get potential prey down his gullet.... Lantern Greg- VERY clingy. Won't let prey go once they're in his grasp and enjoys holding onto them in his stomach for a while. Likes to fawn over his prey and talk to them a lot while they're inside and keeps them entertained by telling them stories! AEDD Greg- Slightly driven by buggy instincts and sometimes gets cravings for meat, so he gobbles people up and apologizes after the fact. His internals glow because he's kinda biomechanical, but thankfully he's very soft on the inside! His arm centipede will nibble on people when he's feeling hungry, or if he likes them. Bygone Days Greg- GIVE IT UP FOR ANOTHER SAD GREGOR!! He's rather polite about it and ensures his prey's comfort during their stay inside him. He's a bit reluctant to let them go when they want out, but makes sure to take good care of them either way. Solemn Lament Greg- From my personal hcs about the abno proper, this one likes to do a lot of comfort vore. His insides muffle sound very well, so you can just focus on the sound of his heartbeat while you take a well-earned rest. I'm not sure how you feel about any digesty stuff, but I think he'd make for a great pred to do that to help you feel better and "reset" your feelings once you're back. Garden of Thorns Greg- A little bit awkward about being a pred, but it's kind of endearing. He's not subtle about wanting to eat someone and tends to surprise his prey by eating them out of nowhere (or at least, blurting out he wants to at inopportune times). His stomach's a bit snug, but the pressure isn't overwhelming. Weirdly, he smells kinda flowery.

Talking to [leftist/socialist/progressive/whatever] white people as a brown girl is always an experience

[unopenablebox]

in theory there is a series of next classes on sewing machine use to take, featuring instructions on various techniques

but as far as i can tell learning to assemble a tote bag has taught me everything i need to assemble drawstring project bags, which is what i actually got into this to learn to make in the first place

so im just going to book sewing machine time for next week, pre-cut some fabric i already have at home according to a drawstring bag pattern i found, and just. try making things?

[hollowwhisperings]

most security guards/cops/crims are more dangerous to themselves than to any actual threat. in the Early Years of Batman, he was a Cryptid who only appeared at night & had the Power Of Money to support said "Cryptid" status via having MUCH better tech (armour, spyware, [nightvision], training with said tech, non-lethal weapons, niche tools, etc) than everyone else. At night, with a previously scouted out map of an area & a local's familiarity with it, Batman wouldn't need to "ninja" that hard because... unless a guard's boss was SCARIER than a Bat Cryptid, they're not going to be overly invested in risking their lives (though Batman's Technical Pacifism wasn't realised until Later: I assume Gotham's medical insurance runs by North American Rules, making a "non-lethal" beatdown probs scarier to the Average Mook).

The Penguin is a Threat because out of ALL the early crime bosses of the Era where Batman Began... HIS GANG SURVIVED (as in, it didn't get disbanded or turn on itself after losing multiple arms deals/smuggling shipments/sundry criminal activities via way of Bat Cryptid). Somehow, the Penguin keeps landing back on his feet: it Varies from writer to writer but the "Modern" Penguin is one of Gotham's more "civilised" crimebosses. As opposed to the Chaotic Crime pre-Batman or the Chaotic Evil of Certain Supervillains, the Penguin is an "Organized" Crimeboss. He's dangerous because he outsurvived all his contemporaries, he has Connections & Political Influence: treating the Penguin as a threat is Only Polite, in a setting like Gotham.

...except when the Penguin is named less for his Penguin Suit and just Penguins: those penguins BLOW UP & get sent into civilian areas. The umbrella ALSO blows up. It also tends to be a machine gun &/or a Detonation Device. This is the Penguin who Danny Devito played. The Batman of that setting was also one without decades of experience & familiarity with [being a vigilante], less Paranoid and Detective-y. Just Very Camp. And, in a Camp Setting, the Penguin can AND WILL "outcamp" the guy not commiting to being a Spooky Bat Cryptid.

The problem with Batman in his present incarnation is that we need simultaneously to believe that this is a man who can effortlessly ninja his way through dozens of gun-toting mercenaries, and that this is a man to whom Danny DeVito with an umbrella is a credible threat.

[cobra-salt]

It's all goodness gracious that technology like TikTok and the wider internet were not around in 1989.

I'm sure because Ralph Macchio was a guy it wouldn't be as EXACTLY personally vile as the fatphobic shit you see about the later seasons of Cobra Kai wrt Mary and YET...

Precisely because he wasn't some masculine man and was "too skinny" then "too fat" to be a realistic karate boy and some laughingstock to all the critics and those so disenchanted by the movies, there could've definitely been some unholy bullshit like there already was going on (and for so long). It's a good thing he wasn't so engaged with the "celebrity" thing and culture and just did what he pleased with his life, though I'm sure some stuff didn't go amiss especially since tabloids back in the late '80s reportedly had some salacious and rude rumors related to his weight and former manager that some dudebro types vaguely parroted on IMDB.

Still, the fact that a lot of these bros even know Mary Mouser has type 1 diabetes and still shout that shit or say she should have never been cast because diabetics can't be physically active and healthy is just stank...

[terrorbirb]

Idk if I'll get in trouble for this but I've been changing all "the engineer.....he should..." To "the engineer......they should..." On the official documents/letters . Like I'm not sure if that would confuse developers but I'm getting a little sick of being referred to as "he" by default.

Don't give me access to this if it's so important. They've had completely outdated language on these things before about which building is where.
