about parenting

Grisha screwed up big time by passing on his titan to Eren. It was a bad move, period. He condemned his son and the world.

"yeah but Eren would have died so much sooner if Grisha hadn't given him the titan. Eren is always doomed to die, with or without a titan, Grisha just delayed it. He did good even if it was morally questionable."

*pulls you closer* no. Do you know what would have happened if Grisha hadn't given Eren his titan? Eren wouldn't have watched Carla die, therefore not join the Scouts and not die in episode 7. And why is that? I'm glad you asked. Because Eren was the one who guided Dina away from Berthold and towards Carla in the first place. Eren, through the power of the titan. Had Grisha made the choice to listen to the visions and not give the titan to Eren, Dina would have eaten Berthold instead.

And what would have happened then?

She'd have turned human, be taken to Erwin and explain to everyone the mystery of the titans and Marley. Three seasons squeezed into two episodes and aot would've been an entirely different story. Chaos. The Survey Corps would've been reorganised, they'd have gathered a tome of information so quickly it would be almost comical.

Eren wouldn't have his titan, he'd have both his parents and minor trauma, so we need a new protagonist. Someone Grisha can pass the titan onto (with the army's permission) because he can't keep it anymore, the 13 years are waning and Paradis needs it, they can't let it get away.

How about Hange? That's a great choice. Hange gets the Attack Titan, I bet she'd love that. Hange is our new protagonist, EMA are her apprentices, Levi and Mikasa are her Ackerman bodyguards and they all make a trip to Marley to kindly complain about their little pest problem.

Look what we could've had, Grisha.

Yes, there's more to this... I just... I just needed to.. I needed this. 😩

Idk If Agatha just dressed up for Wanda, or If it's an AU where Wanda somehow went back in time or met a variant, but what MATTERS IS THAT 90's Rock n'roll/Punk Agatha needs to be seen 👌(by Wanda...)

i actually need to make a video on the Chonny Jash Phenomenon.

like. this is a music fandom that is built and treated like a video game fandom with the amount of aus and fan characters based on albums/singles being shipped with each other equivalent to sans "mom fucker" undertale and dave strider to the extent that it is the norm here (compared to other music fandoms, while stuff like this is seen in fandoms for the beatles, tally hall, will wood, etc. it's not as prevalent as it is here) that revolves around this one gnc aussie dude who's musical genre can only be defined as electric gay cabaret fabloo that posts banger after fucking banger not missing a single time while looking like a stoned 20 year old himbo who's name is trevor and works the subway next to the rundown gas station but is also surprisingly weirdly attractive while also being the chillest nicest guy ever who's doing nothing but fucking broozer posting on tumblr and is making a majora's mask fan album and can beat probably everyone on this earth at mario kart and some people hate this guy because he made seemingly "edgy" tally hall covers that fuck so hard actually also everyone here is decent and nice and really talented and also this guy can just pop on your doorstep on twitter and reblog some fanart of yours out of the blue even if you're a small artist which is terrifying slash positive also his name is chonny motherfucking jash which, fun fact, he's never listened to johnny cash before, he came up with that name while drunk What The Actual Fuck

I'm still terrified of the redemption route for this clown though hdhghfg, I want his silly self to stay evil and wimsy and goofy and with redemption uhhh

We're like

I dunno I'm sooo scared devsis is gonna take away that aspect which is what makes him just so funnn. Please pretty please let him be god awful and rotten and rude and goofy if you take that route Devisis I want him to keep his funny wimsy qualities. Please please pleaseeee write him well y'all are doing sooo good with him don't fumble by taking the redemption route (And if they do it better be good and he better stay chaotic and goofy and sassy and condescending and all his "rotten rabid thing" qualities)

i honestly think it's really funny that katniss and peeta are usually reffered to as a couple that breaks so many gender norms because like you think manipulation and lying are more feminine skills? have you ever met any man? like ever? a girl having walls and being emotionally closed off is so shocking to you? why? that's just my mom.

Stephanie: Hey Cass, I heard a story about how you became the leader of the League of Assassins and killed a lot of people.

Cass (eyes downcast, slowly putting her phone down): You cut right to the chase with that.

Stephanie: Yeah, but don’t worry I’m not judging. We all have dark pasts. I just want to hear about it cause I'm curious. What started it? How did you get your wake-up call? What happened in between or afterwards.

Cass: You’ve heard of Slade Wilson, right?

Stephanie: That goof? Yeah. Did he attack you during all of this?

Cass (starting the story): I wanted a father figure, and Bruce was missing…

After an hour of hearing the depressing story of brainwashing that her best friend (and future girlfriend) had been subjected to, Stephanie stormed down the halls. She was searching for some special people, knowing immediately where they'd be: the Batcave.

Cass chased after her, pleading for her to calm down.

Cass: Stephanie, hold on, we've buried the hatchet years ago.

Stephanie had already tuned her out, stomping down the stairs to the Batcave, striding past Jason, Tim, Damian, Kate, and Bruce until she found Dick.

Stephanie (enraged): HEY, NIGHTWING!

At first, Dick turned around, a smile brightening his face at the sight of her, but that smile vanished in an instant when she delivered a stinging slap to his cheek.

Dick (eyes wide, shocked): OW!

Stephanie: You… You! Penis! You absolute penis! How dare you mistreat Cass while she was going through all that? I knew you were too nice; something had to be buried in that chiseled jawline!

Barbara: Chiseled? Steph, it's more chipped-

Dick (over his shoulder to Barbara): You stay out of this, ex. Stephanie, what—

Stephanie lightly swiped her hand across Dick's face. It didn't have the same impact; it still wasn't something he liked receiving, but Stephanie was feeling fiery at the moment.

Dick (brows furrowed, annoyed): Quit it!

Stephanie: I'm not done giving you what for! You absolute penis, I get you were distrusting of newbies, I remember you were a bit of a penis to me, but Cass! Cass was going through true... shizz and and you .. you are a penis!

Dick (cupping his sore cheek): Stop calling me a penis!

Stephanie: Stop being one!

Dick: Bruce, you can step in at any time!

Bruce (pretending to talk to Kate): Um, I'm talking to my cousin about something.

Kate (lying to keep watching the spectacle): Just a meeting. You can handle this on your own.

Stephanie (blocking Bruce by standing in his direction): Nah, don’t look at him for help. You’re being called out for being a jerk to Cass! You could’ve made her turn to the dark side again, or, goodness, take her anger out on you! Would you feel good about that, tubby?

Dick (hugging himself, hurt): Tubby? These insults are so specific and mean! Don’t call me a penis again!

Jason (doubled over laughing): I feel bad for laughing, but this is priceless.

Bruce: I shouldn’t be laughing either, but at least it wasn’t me. What’s happening here?

Cass (hurriedly explaining as she fidgeted her hands): Steph wanted to know about the time I went insane like Jason and became the leader of the assassins. I mentioned my issues with Dick, but we made amends. I sort of didn't hold back on the tension and arguments we had. She—

Stephanie: Is pissed at this eejit!

Stephanie flicked Dick on the forehead making him wince.

Kate: Should we step in?

Bruce: Nah.

Kate nodded in agreement.

Damian (surprised): Did you just call him an idiot with an Irish inflection? You are mad.

Dick (taking accountability): I… she… this is so old! I admitted I was a jerk back then, but I'm not anymore. And stop assaulting me!

Huffing angrily, Stephanie lowered her hand as Dick instinctively took a step back.

Stephanie: You know what? Dick, I get that you didn’t want her to kill her deadbeat dad or Slade. We don’t kill, well, except Jason, but I’m starting to understand him more!

Jason nodded, continuing to read.

Stephanie: But how you treated Cass during most of her redemption journey... such a penis move!

Dick: I wasn’t… she killed… And Barbara snapped at her sometimes! Why the hell won’t you slap her?

Barbara (having silently watched the spectacle): I apologized and she likes me more. Plus I taught her how to read and write more so there.

Dick: I apologized too!

Stephanie: After Alfred stepped in! You—

Dick: You know calling me a penis cause you can't say the word dick hurts my feelings!

Stephanie (stomping): That's why I'm saying it!

Dick: Alfred is usually the voice of reason, I'm obviously going to agree with him. It's a good thing he did step in or I would've won a fight against Cass.

Cass walked over, stepping between them and lightly pushing Stephanie away with a warm smile.

Cass: Dick, first humble yourself. I would've won that fight. Second, Stephie, I admire you defending me, but Dick and I have made amends. We replaced it with sibling bickering, and I’m not completely innocent. I did throw him out a window, which was wrong… even if I still think he deserved it a tiny bit.

Dick (raising his eyebrow): That’s the closest you’re going to admit it was wrong?

Cass: Yep.

Dick (nodding sadly accepting this: I’ll take it.

Stephanie sighed, stepping away from Dick and thinking silently.

Stephanie: Jason, can Rose stab her father for Cass?

Bruce: Excuse me for interjecting, but do you mean to kill or just maim?

Kate (chuckling): That’s legitimately a good question.

Stephanie: I want so badly for her to kill him or for you to kill him. But respecting my code and Cass’s wishes, can she just stab him to hurt him?

Jason: She might actually have a better method. I’ll get back to you on that.

Jason pulled out his phone and texted Rose. He walked away to handle this in private.

Kate (to Bruce): Aren't you glad he found someone for him?

Bruce: Shut up.

Stephanie (to Cass): It’s a start… right?

Cass: He won’t die? It’s not me plunging the knife, but I’d rather not have phantom blood on my hands.

Stephanie (placing a hand on Cass’s shoulder): I can make sure Rose lets him live afterward. Bruce, if you try to stop this, I'm sending my ma after you with a heel in her hand.

Bruce: Just make sure he lives. That’s all I ask.

Stephanie: Got you, B-Man. You can fire me again if I go against my future girlfriend’s rule.

Kate laughed more and walked upstairs to excuse herself, with Bruce following her for a drink after that show.

Dick: Right... I'm not sure how I feel about this—

Stephanie (pointing at the man): Dick, I’m not too happy with you, so your opinion means diddly squat!

Barbara (laughing, but also reasoning with Stephanie): Steph, you have to understand that we were all going through hell back then. You were there, and Dick could be a bit of a… penis.

Dick groaned as he rummaged for ice in the fridge underneath Bruce’s deck. Jason could be heard laughing at the insult, joined by Damian's snickers. Even Barbara couldn't hold back on laughing although she felt a little sympathy to Dick.

Tim mostly remained silent, deciding it was wiser to stay neutral and embrace his role as Switzerland rather than take a side.

Stephanie: I get that, and now that I’ve delivered the slap of righteous divine retribution to him, I’m cool with him. Unless he angers her again, then I’m kicking him in the penis while wearing a pointed heel.

Barbara (siding with her surrogate daughter Cass): That's a fair trade off.

Tim: Oh wow. Um, I'm going to step in front of him.

Tim walked up in front of Dick, positioning himself as a buffer. Dick appreciated the gesture, grateful for the support in the heat of the moment.

Damian (enjoying the chaos): That’s very funny to think about.

Stephanie (to Tim and Damian): As for you two… Tim, Cass actually had a lot of nice things and wild adventures to say about you. You’re cool with me too. Damian… eh, not anything scandalous.

Damian (satisfied): Alright, that’s great to hear.

Tim (hand on his chest): Cass, thank you.

Cass: It was just me being honest and venting. I tried to make it unbiased.

Dick: Didn’t work! She slapped me! Ow, by the way!

Stephanie (indifferent, crossing her arms): Sorry or whatever.

Cass: I’m sorry as well. When I spoke of our feuding, it wasn’t to paint you as a villain. I only wanted to give accurate details and I got my payback when I replaced your human shampoo with dog flea and tick shampoo.

Stephanie (surprised): You what?

Dick (shouting with a triumphant tone): I knew it!

Barbara (chuckling): That’s why your hair smelled like oatmeal for a month.

Dick: Jokes on her... that was great for my hair and I used the rest for Hayley! And yes, that is a flex for me. Cass, I forgive you. Stephanie, I choose to forgive you for now. To make it up to you both, I’ll take us all out for dinner.

Stephanie: You should probably have that wallet with you, then, cause we’re going to Applebee's.

Dick: At least it's not Ruth Chris. I’m going to rest for the next hour. Barbara…

Dick lightly slapped Barbara on the back of the head and then ran off. Barbara laughed, relieving any tension.

the thing about kriselle is it's not necessarily romantic and in my opinion that isn't the point of it.... sometimes you form a connection with sommeone in your childhood that is beyond words and understanding... and then something fucked up happens, like your sister goes missing, and maybe your close friends family is a little involved in it, you don't know the details, but you do know you lost your sister, and your whole world implodes... and then you drift apart.... and some years pass.... and it feels like you're doing okay, you're a normal teenage girl ... but your house is silent and cold and nobody plays the piano anymore, and the piano at church hasn't sounded the same since they stopped coming either... and your new friends are nice, but you can't help but feel there's something missing....... the thing is they never left, they're still at school, you see each other around town, and you still talk sometimes too..... but it's been long enough now where you're not really sure how close you were, or if they even really liked being with you... maybe you were neighbours more than friends...... so you never reach out.... and they don't either..... then one day you have a dream.... you're in a strange city with strange people... and they're there too.... and something's a little off, but you know it's them.... in your heart it feels like they're trying to reach out to you too...... they even call you their friend, in that strange voice, but it feels nice............ exploring that strange city together makes it feel like you had never grown apart........ but then you wake up from the dream........ and it makes sense, really.... only good things happen in dreams.........

so that's kriselle to me

ive been thinking lately about kon and the diaspora agonies of trying to learn your family's native language. but like, with kryptonian, in postcrisis continuity jor-el prepared some kryptonian tech to let clark insta-download kryptonian into his brain because he knew clark wouldn't have access to learning resources, plus the eradicator also gave clark some brain downloads, etc, so i figure that's just available to any kryptonian at the fortress of solitude. (whether it'd work for a human is another question - it might just take some mental prep like what lois did for learning torquasm-rao in that one arc, but that's another post entirely.)

anyways, what that means for kon is that i think he is able to insta-download the ability to understand spoken kryptonian/read written kryptonian, but until he gets the muscle memory down via practice, his kryptonian handwriting will be atrocious and he will have a very notable american accent when he speaks. and that'd be fine for the most part - sure, kara has a giggle about it, but she points out that clark's also got an accent! his is just less noticable because he's had several years worth of practice more than kon.

but. specifically. he doesn't have much time to unpack any self-consciousness about it, because when he goes to new krypton, he Knows they are all judging him for it. see? he's not a real kryptonian, just a clone. he sticks out like a sore thumb. what was kal-el thinking, giving him the name kon-el? he doesn't even speak properly. and he can hear himself speaking with an accent but he can't just stop having one. and it's so, so frustrating and embarrassing for him.

and then everyone on new krypton dies. and he will never actually get the chance to fit in or change any of their minds or unionize the labor guild and advocate for clone rights on krypton. the one time he got to actually interact with his family's culture, his heritage, and they overwhelmingly supported zod, a man who didn't even see him as a person at all.

it's a strange, hollow sort of grief. and he still has an american accent.

May I ask what your certain head canon Charlie ship is? It’s fine if not!

At times it almost feels like Alastor gets the all the girls so I wouldn’t be surprised if it were him lol

you're right, Alastor is a total chick magnet 🦌

tbh there's no ship as a full thing, more as a petty flirting

Charlie likes men of his type, but for her this is mostly like a little entertainment

Alastor ABSOLUTELY irritates her and stinks, this adds some unhealthy interest

lovehate (Charlie in a mess, Alastor is just chilling and has fun; later he begins to respect her)

yes, Charlie knows that he's a married man, and she even asks Rosie WHY

Rosie laughs, she isn't jealous because her husband is a free guy and doesn't belong to anyone, and Charlie is so sweet

I love Tamlin but sometimes I wish SJM just let him die in the end of Acotar and let Feyre be the new high lady of spring. It would be a much better story instead of the mental gymnastic & retroactively ret conning that she did in acomaf

Imagine the grief and guilt she feels for not only not being able to save Tamlin but also be mated later on to his enemy while she herself is thrust into the position of high lady of spring that she never wanted to be in

it also would be a great plot twist at the end of the first book that would hook the reader in to wanting to know what happens in the next book instead of the first book now only working as a standalone after all the other book installments in the series

also SJM could have written that Feyre has two great loves in her life and that one isn't better or worse than the other like for example Francesca in Bridgerton with John & Michael(a)

It's kinda funny how many comments I got on tiktok that were like "thank you for not drawing Kim I hate him" and I'm just like. I just didn't get to his design yet.

[theladyofrosewater]

I'm bribing yall with art so you'll listen to my current Ro'Meave lore that I'm using as an excuse to talk about Leona

Here’s the Ro’Meave Family Lore Dump for my rewrite you guys asked for. Buckle up because it’s going to jump around a bit and BOY do I have a lot to say. (very minor warning for my discussion of Zane and Kiki in canon)

I’m starting out with Gwyn and Mairwen, who are essentially just OCs to flesh out the Ro’Meave line.  Gwyn is the Ro’Meave heir and lord with Mairwen being their wife. Together they only have one child who makes it to adulthood, Garte. Gwyn however has an affair second child later on in life after Mairwen fell ill. the affair baby ends up being Malik, A.K.A the Lord of Phoenix Drop.

Malik gets basically banished from a young age with a nanny and Garte never finds out about him because family dishonor or whatever. Malik grows up bouncing around from village to village until the nanny who was supposed to accompany him falls ill and dies. Garte has become lord at this point but Malik heard rumors that Garte may have killed Gwyn and so settled down in Phoenix Drop where he married Matilda and they lived happily together for a while.

Garte of course marries Zianna like he does in canon and it’s Zianna’s family that has the big changes. Basically in my rewrite Zianna is the older sister of Lilly of Falcon Claw, who like in canon is Aaron’s wife. So this essentially makes Aaron the uncle of the Ro’Meave boys as well as giving more of motivation than besides love interest and revenge. This also makes Aaron’s son Jacob (knowing jess his name was a twilight reference) Zianna’s nephew and the cousin to the three boys

Garte and Zianna have Garroth early on in their marrige but when Garroth is 4 his parents get pretty frigid with each other and by the time he’s 6 he’s got two new baby brothers. Zianna has her affair like in canon except no one know who’s the affair baby if there even is one till much later. Eventually after the events of another draft that I have rotting in my notes Vylad ends up dead and Zane get’s shoved into the Church of Irene after someone stabbed out his eye. Then Garroth get’s engaged to Nicole while he’s away training at Brightport’s academy and decides to fake his own death on the way back and runs away to Phoenix Drop

Key takeaway with this is that Garroth when arriving in Phoenix Drop DOES NOT KNOW Malik is his uncle. Malik knows but hides Garroth because he thinks Garte is an ass (true) and then Levin is born and after awhile after Zenix is adopted into Phoenix Drop, the village is attacked, Malik dies and Matilda and Levin flee to Scaleswind while being chased by Shadow Knights. Garroth if he knew about Malik at this point get’s his memory wiped by Gene and doesn’t rediscover the fact till like season three

Then we get into the events of season one and everything kinda happens as normal until we get to Zane's arrival in Phoenix Drop

Okay now for the big can of worms

Leona

Leona in canon was originally heavily hinted at to be Zane’s daughter and then during season two Jess must have realized how fucked up Leona’s birth could be read and then said “Oh no her father could be Kiki’s old lover and its actually not as bad of a thing” Which considering Zane’s character makes like zero sense. When I watched MCD I never caught the implications but a lot of people have realized that what happened to KiKi could essentially be read as rape which….I personally DO NOT LIKE when stories have these elements so I knew that I would have to change that part of the story BUT I didn’t want to just make it so Kiki and Zane were a couple as I think that could be read in poor taste if I wasn’t careful. Zane is still an awful person but I needed to change something So here’s what I’m going to do for my rewrite. 

I’m going to make Kiki and Zane’s relationship consensual, Zane upon meeting her kept seeking out Kiki as she would be easy to sway over to his side, say a few sweet words give a few gifts and BOOM you have a very lovestruck magicks user who will soften up your image and potentially a useful ally. She’s essentially his Livia Cardew and as in my rewrite Zane 100% wants the Lordship of O’Khasis. He tolerates her, hell maybe he’s even a bit fond of her but he does not LOVE her, because he can’t. This version of Zane has had every negative trait enhanced and every positive one strangled and torn to shreds thanks to his father. He couldn’t love Kiki.

But Kiki loves him.

So when she finds out she’s pregnant she’s happy! She thinks she’s going to get married and have a child with someone who she thinks loves her why wouldn’t she be. So she sends a letter telling him all about it and doesn’t question why his next letter takes twice as long to arrive or how short it is. By the time he sends the next one it’s as if it never happened, he’s even giving her gifts and money for the baby promising he’ll be back soon. It’s only after the gang goes through the Irene portal does she start to question if he ever actually loved her. Kiki never stops loving her daughter and she wouldn’t trade anything in the world for her, she just wise the rose-colored glasses wore off sooner. I don’t think it’s a perfect solution, but I think it’s a decent enough start until I can talk to some people

But one more thing that’s swooping back round to the Falconclaw region.

How is Leona a werewolf

Basically in my version is because Leona just so happened to have parents who both have a VERY recessive werewolf gene and when they had a baby, that baby turned out to be a werewolf. Kiki gets it from the side of her family from Brightport and Zane gets it from his mother because she’s a native of Falconclaw. There is a decent chunk of the population in Falconclaw has this recessive gene it’s why many of them are immune to werewolf bites and many of them have werewolf traits themselves. And yes this does mean that Garroth, Vylad and Jacob when he was alive also have this trait.  While Leona being a werewolf can make her general life a bit harder it actually benefits her growing up thanks to striking resemblance she has to Zane and Zianna. Her ears and tail make it so no one would spare more than glance at her because if they looked closer they might just find a certain family resemblance.

also have a rough page of the family tree+ what I think Kiki's full name is
