#they're such precious dads

aaaaaa i love them

[batcavescolony]

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

The Bad Batch

Here's a little theory for you to mull over; I sincerely wonder whether I am alone in thinking this. I could also be heavily exhausted over and influenced by the papers I had to polish off for some of my college courses, or perhaps motivated by the fact that I am re-watching The Bad Batch because most modern shows these days, in my opinion, disappoint. At any rate, here it is.

Why do we like the Bad Batch so much? What makes them relatable and/or realistic?

Upon meeting Omega, most of the Bad Batch behave in a very dad-like manner. This is not surprising, no. Plenty of memes and incorrect quotes have stemmed from this simple observation. They don't have all the answers and they don't know what to do with Omega half the time. That's the thing about dads... usually, they're just "winging it" and trying to do their best. Moms come with a built-in instinct to nurture. Dads come with a built-in instinct to protect and lead. Sometimes, dads aren't quite sure what to do with a crying infant or a struggling teenager.

Let's not forget... Hunter and the others are soldiers. That isn't to say they can't be kind or gentle; even the toughest men have their weak points. As a military brat, though, I have noticed that such a profession can mold a man, and at times they forget to "turn off" their seriousness when at home after having dealt with extremely hard situations. I really appreciate that the producers of this show didn't change Hunter and the others just to make them more approachable from Omega's standpoint. If they do change, it's gradual.

Do Hunter and the others think about the consequences of bringing Omega into their lives? *eyeballs toothpick man* With exceptions, of course. Well, until season three. The answer? Absolutely not. They believe they have the strength and ability to keep her safe, as most dads would. They believe they will always have that strength and ability. Let me break it down for you and give you a look into the brain of a dad:

Dad: *involved in a dangerous situation*

Dad: I can do that.

Dad: *remembers their child is with them*

Dad: Oh. Well, I guess becomes a life lesson. I've got you, kid. Just... don't tell your mom.

Dad: *keeps an eye out for anything suspicious*

Kid: *perfectly content*

I've heard it said that dads don't say "I love you" but show they love you. I personally have experienced both, but given the seriousness of most dads... I can see how that would be the case. At the very least, their actions speak louder than words. The Bad Batch are very much this way towards Omega. They put their lives on the line. They want to make her happy. Wrecker assembles a spot for Omega to call her own on the Marauder. Tech grabs her before an explosion can reach them. Echo has hugged Omega the most. Hunter is usually within three feet of Omega at all times.

The subtle gestures of kindness captivated all our hearts, I know.

Why?

It's Star Wars, a fictional universe. It's not complete fiction, though. Hunter and the others represent a specific kind of love. Fathers may be cautious and unsure at first, but eventually they want the kid by their side for everything. We've all seen the videos of dads using infants as pretend machine guns or making them dance, the kid's neck rolling lazily. Gently, of course. If they can't protect the kid from everything, they use themselves as a shield, which extends to good mothers, too, though that's not what this post is about.

Hunter and the others may be soldiers, but they embody the very spirit of fatherhood. This was such a wonderful theme to see develop despite the grittiness and action.

Phew, I feel like there was more I wanted to say, but I'm tired, so you're spared from more rambling.

Luffy with shuggy is one of the most hilarious things to imagine.

Buggy is Luffy's stepdad whom he hates for "taking his dad away from him" when both adults are constantly reminding Luffy that they met before he had even known Shanks. Luffy hates Buggy for uh, just being Buggy, at this point. Like I get it's everything that happened back in Orange Town and Loguetown and they kind of started to get along in Impel Down, but, you know. Buggy is still Buggy and Luffy doesn't even believe he's the leader of Cross Guild. Imagine his face when Shanks tells him they used to date. Imagine his face when they tell him they're together again. What the fuck.

Anyway. I honestly think that Luffy and Buggy just need to talk things out because the whole "Buggy giving up his dream because of Shanks" would make Luffy understand him better. You'd have to point both of them and their crews with guns to make them talk like normal people, but I think Luffy would get it. It would quite honestly make him sad and a bit furious at Buggy for giving up his dream, and even a bit angry at Shanks for not following Buggy. You know when you find out about your parents' divorce? Same thing. Except that these two get back together and your parents probably won't. I am not projecting at all. At least Buggy and Shanks love each other.

You know what would be funny now that I think about it? Buggy somehow telling Luffy about all of this and Luffy being all serious about it and making it everybody's problem to bring Shanks and Buggy together again. And he manages to do so because he's a fucking god and he makes miracles happen.

25 Days of Sleighpairs: Finn Hudson & Marley Rose (Glee) + “Family”

Neither of them had said anything in the last ten minutes. They were just walking aimlessly. Finn was pretty sure he was supposed to say something, anything, but he didn't know what exactly he should say. Maybe this was a bad idea. Of course it was, he was so stupid.

They stopped in front of the reindeer pen. Marley folded her arms on the fence and rested her chin on them, snow clinging to her coat and hair. There was even a thin layer of it on her hat from how long they'd just been walking around. Why did he suggest this?

"I'm sorry," he blurted out, and Marley looked up at him in surprise. "For... all of this. It was a dumb idea. I just thought... I thought that it would be good if we could hang out and... I don't know."

He sighed. For the first time all day, she smiled. It was tiny, but it was there. It was funny how he was suddenly questioning if his was the same. His mom always told him he looked like his dad when he smiled, so, maybe Marley did, too. How had he never noticed that before?

All those weeks in glee club, and it had never struck him that there was something familiar about her. Now, he was desperately searching for everything he had missed.

"I've never had a sibling before," he tried again, watching two reindeers eating side by side not too far away. "It's funny, I always thought it would be so cool to be someone's big brother, to — to have this person who was like me and who would look up to me. Who would need me to look for them and would come to me for advice about stuff."

His eyes darted to Marley. His heart sank and he deflated, leaning against the fence as he smiled sadly and looked away again.

"I guess it's a bit late for all of that now." He shook his head and sighed. "I feel like I... like I let you down. I know neither of us knew, but I feel like I should've, somehow, you know? All that time we spent in glee club and I had no idea. Some big brother I am."

The reindeers had stopped eating and were now making their way over to them. They came close enough to touch, and they both reached out, Marley straightened up.

"For what its worth... I think you're pretty cool."

Finn looked at her in surprise and found she was smiling up at him. "You do?"

"Yeah. Of course I do. Do you know how much I admire you? You're, like, this big celebrity at McKinley."

"I'm not," Finn protested, his brow furrowing.

"You kind of are," she said, her smile twitching higher. "But that's not the only reason I think you're cool. It's because you were nice to me whe no one else wanted to be around me. You didn't blame me for messing up. Your lessons are a little weird sometimes, but you put so much effort into glee club and making sure we feel like a team."

He listened, stunned to silence. He had no idea anyone in the glee club felt that way.

"I just kind of figured you all thought I was an idiot," he said with a nervous chuckle and a shrug.

"Of course we don't," Marley said, with meaning. "I definitely don't. When my mom told me about our dad, and how you were my brother, I was... well, obviously, I was shocked, but I was also unbelievably happy. Because I always wanted a big brother, and I couldn't have asked for a better one."

Finn didn't know what to say. He smiled, hesitated, then quickly asked, "Is it okay if I hug you?"

Her face split into a grin. She practically launched at him, and he laughed, then wrapped his arms around her. It was strange how unfamiliar yet totally familiar it felt. She mumbled something into his chest, but he didn't hear her and he didn't ask her to repeat it, not wanting to ruin the first good moment they had had since finding out they were related.

He spotted two people cradling steaming cups and a sign by a little cafe across the street. "Hey, what do you say to getting some hot chocolate?"

Marley pulled back. Her eyes were a little teary, but she quickly wiped them and said, "I say yes, obviously. Who doesn't like hot chocolate?"

His grin widened. "Come on."

Marley was bouncing with excitement as they ordered, and she asked for little marshmallows and sprinkles. A lot of people liked hot chocolate with marshmallows and sprinkles, it was completely insignicant — but it meant the world to him in the moment.

They're so happy to see each other again

[probablyaseamonster]

so... we all get the father vibes from Pentious, right? It's not just me?

Theres the "son?" Joke in the pilot which sounded a liiiittle too sincere, there's how he acts around his egg bois... and how that cringefail energy of his could easily be translated into embarrassing dad behavior...

So anyway what I'm saying is I still think Baxter could be his missing son-

[fantasticenthusiasttale]

So, i picked up a comic book with three stories on it, and two of them have these images. The one in the left is from another time Scrooge almost lost the Number One to Magica de Spell but saved it in the end, and in the right is from when Donald acidentally gave Scrooge a good business idea.

Links I.N.D.U.C.K.S:

Well, Scrooge seems so happy kissing his two most precious things in the world... He even tells the coin in the story "My beloved little coin! Come to daddy!"... So i made this!

Yeah, Scrooge adopting Donald legally lives in my head rent-free, you can take this AU from my cold dead hands

if I had a nickel for every time I came up with an oc x oc ship that was a girl with Nightsister heritage who had a Nightsister mom and a psychometric Jedi dad, and a young awkward Jedi boy with a Jedi dad and a Mandalorian mom and an older sister who teases him mercilessly about his crush on said Nightsister girl, I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

Been thinking as i sub fanta stuffs that probably the reason why fanta's dynamics interest me the most compared to other tribe groups is because they're the group that choose each other (compared to other groups who the members were chosen for them)

W leaders Sekai & Taiki chose 5 performers -> afterwards 7 performers chose their twin vocals -> to become a group of 9

And because they chose them, each performer takes care of their twinvocals in their own way (e.g: leiya & keito physical affection & motivation especially during their debut days, sawa & sekai personally teaches them choreo outside of group practice etc)

tl;dr: fantastics is the found family trope in exile tribe

Father of Time Chapter 20: Long Way Home

Goddess Farore held out her hand towards Link and he put his own in hers again, more confident this time. 

"While you are here, you will practise your new abilities with me."

The teen swallowed the nervousness in his throat and nodded. It hadn't been that long since his visit with Grandmother Din and the thoughts of strength and power still sat uneasy in his head. He wanted to do it, he didn't want to do it, he worried about how badly he wanted to. 

"My child, I know what you feel and it is normal. Not all desire for power is wrong. Your Father is who he is because he desires strength. It does not have to consume you."

"R-right. I understand."

On the edge of the Spring, Deity and Aevum stood by while Farore worked with Link.  Even with the reassurances from the Mothers, Aevum could tell her Brother was tense as he watched.  The goddess suddenly became her older self again and leaned in casually towards the god.

"And how many Chosen did you have, little Brother?"

"One."  The word was clipped short and his eyebrow twitched ever so slightly.

"Ah."  There was silence between the two and Deity frowned.  He was expecting more from his Sister but she was being uncharacteristically quiet. He had been too caught up in his own thoughts to really notice the words that had passed between his Sister and Mother but something had transpired there. Aevum seemed pensive. 

"She was…a strong warrior.  But she did not handle it well."

"Burned out?"  Deity made a noise of assent and Aevum nodded.  A Chosen burning out was a very real risk; deity abilities were difficult even in the best of situations.  If they took on too much, used their abilities in ways that extended their bodies past endurance, it was usually fatal.  No wonder her Brother had been so adamant to speak to the Golden Mothers after what had happened to Link.  So many of his reactions regarding the boy made more sense.  She was quiet for a moment, then tentatively posed a question towards Deity.  "Do you know why Ikana was sealed away, back then?"

I have a hc that Sanji (kind of) sees his mother in Robin- like, they're different but also similar and Robin has a motherly energy to him and she fells just like Sora to him and- Robin knows but don't say anything and even likes to know Sanji fells this safe with her

(Idk why I'm saying this now- I'm sorry. I am sick. And I am in my period too. And I also can't go to work today bc I'm sick so-)

NONO PLEASE I NEED MORE OF ROBIN AND SANJI!!!!! I LOVE THEM BOTH SO DAMN MUCH!!!!!!!!!! IT'S SUCH A GREAT THOUGHT!!!!!!!!!

I imagine Sanji having nightmares. Not every day but, like, it happens a lot. Sanji can't fall back asleep then, so he always ends up in the kitchen cooking or just smoking until somebody wakes up. He's shaking and really, really trying to distract himself because otherwise, he'll have a panic attack. This thing usually happens around 3 am, for example, depending on the day, and since Robin wakes up pretty early (5 am) it's just normal that they find each other in the kitchen. I just love the thought of Sanji trying to act like everything's fine but it's obvious he hasn't slept and he doesn't even want breakfast when Robin asks if he wants to make something for himself too (while he's cooking for her). They just sit in silence for a while but she knows something's wrong. She says something about not having to deal with the burden of her past alone anymore, now that she's with them, and that Sanji should do the same. But it's out of nowhere and what is he supposed to do with that? So he just nods and tries to avoid it, but at least Robin is happy he eats when she tells him to grab something from her plate.

When he fights with Zoro, sometimes it's too much. It's stupid, really. Their whole relationship is just constant bickering and arguments without end. But sometimes he gets too stressed and too overwhelmed and it's just too much, so he ends up leaving to a quiet place instead of saying something he might end up regretting. They argue, but he doesn't actually hate the damn swordsman, goddammit. Somehow, Robin is always there. She always lets him rant and rant about these things, and even if she just makes a sweet comment in the end that Sanji has a hard time deciphering, it's more than enough to calm him down.

Things get... A lot worse sometimes. Somedays, Sanji just won't eat. Or act like himself. Or shower. Or, well, anything. Sometimes he's more irritable and it's quite obvious that something is wrong, but he never lets people around him help. And Robin notices, because she has been there. She isn't a mind reader, but she notices when somebody is thinking about death when she sees one. This only happens in private and not a lot of times, but Sanji lets himself cry when Robin is there. And she hugs him and it's warm and she smells so much like his mom it just makes him cry harder. She's so sweet and soothing and she keeps kissing his forehead and saying that he'll be fine. That it's just a rough time, but he'll be okay with them.

Sanji can't handle alcohol, by the way. He sucks at drinking. Horrible drinker. He has a bit of Rum or Vodka or whatever, even a fucking beer and he's already feeling a bit dizzy. He says not to worry because he handles it perfectly, but uhhh, nope. He's a lightweight and he's an honest drunk who won't stop having breakdowns and the minimum sign of affection. So he always ends up crying in Robin's lap while she caresses his hair and lets him rant drunkenly for hours. She's there to calm him down when he throws up too. Poor boy.

When he has his gender crisis or his sexuality crisis or he has a crush or whatever, somehow he always ends up talking to Robin. It's a habit now, talking to her whenever he needs advice, and she always manages to give him the perfect support every time. Even if he's stubborn and panics every time he thinks about his true feelings, she's always there to catch him when he falls and when he doesn't know what to do.

Robin is also very protective of him, especially since Wano happened. If she sees a girl going to fight Sanji she stands in the way and helps him out. She knows he doesn't have the heart to harm them, and she's proud of him for asking for help whenever he needs it.

Not to mention that she loves it. She loves being his support. She loves taking care of him and helping him out. I mean, to her, Sanji is so young (they only have a 9-year age gap but you know what I mean. Also different lives and positions of power in their lives. She's just way more mature) and inexperienced and she's so glad he trusts her enough to let her help. I think about their Wano scene every day of my life, I swear.

Hey wait they’re really fun to draw how did this happen (Patreon)
