#those kids are so cute too

[kawaiianimeredhead]

For those of you who enjoyed my last post about my roommate's previous mantis, here is an update on a new one she has. Her name is Princess Greenbean and we took her to see Santa today as well as did a photo shoot of her outside on my plants

PLS PLS PLSSSSS keep talking about kids with olympic athletes! gojo and nanami pls pls pls i have to Know. everything u wrote about yuuta was already so so cute

(prev olympics au here)

the gojo twins are hilarious because your baby boy looks exactly like satoru, but has very little of his personality—it seems like the only things he inherited was satoru’s love for sweets and love for you. still, even though he’s a strong swimmer, he much prefers to relax in his floaties alongside you if you’re also in the pool, or chill by your side on a lounge chair, glasses too big for his face keeping the sun out of his eyes as he shares his smoothie with you, and asks to borrow your phone to take pictures of his sister and daddy in the pool. 

your baby girl on the other hand… she might have your face but she’s got satoru’s everything else—his competitive streak, his confidence, and definitely his mischievous nature. she’s the one who tiptoes into your bedroom at five in the morning, tapping at her daddy’s shoulders, and putting her little finger over his lip to shush him before he can wake you up; she’s always the one to convince satoru to take her swimming the backyard at the crack of dawn, and why by the time you and your baby boy wake up, she and satoru are already past warm up laps and swimming lessons and onto who can make the splashiest canonball competitions (she always wins because while her tiny body can endure a belly flop, satoru’s years of training physically doesn’t allow him to do it… and maybe because he’s not so competitive when it comes to his baby girl, he’ll always let her win). 

kento’s professional judo career honestly doesn’t last very long. after his first olympic games, you two start dating and he proposes just after he wins gold the second time he’s in the olympics; he does maybe two more years of national competitions while you’re pregnant, and decides that the intense training for the next two years in preparation of a third olympic competition isn’t worth missing time he could spend with you or your baby girl—plus, with all the money he’s made from competitions, winning gold medals, brand ambassadorships, commercials, and collaborations, he had enough money to provide for all of your for the rest of your lives. so, that’s what he does (his dream has always been to be a househusband, anyway...) his previous salaryman career comes in handy when deciding how to invest his money, how to buy a house, how to take care of his friends, how to set up a fund for your daughter, and an extra account or two… just incase more babies come along… 

by the time your baby girl is four, she’s already kento’s biggest fan. she loudly and proudly proclaims to everybody that her daddy was basically superman and won all the shiny trophies and medals in the house from when he was being a superhero. if anyone recognizes kento when they’re out together, she always confirms their suspicions, proudly boasting, “yeah kento is my daddy! he’s a winner!” it always makes kento’s heart swell to hear her praise. he doesn’t compete professionally anymore, but he does train from time to time, and has taken on a few mentees, and your daughter LOVES to watch him coach/train. she’s got her own uniform that she always puts on whenever they go to the gym together, and gets so excited when kento or ino or yuuji pretend to spar with her. 

she’s honestly kento’s mini figure. she’s respectful and reserved, but strong and knows when to fight and how to use her voice. there’s a time when he gets a call from her school saying that she got in a fight, the principal frames it as your daughter needlessly pushing around an older kid, but your daughter is certain in her words when she tells her dad that it was because the kid was being mean to the younger kids, and to her. kento doesn’t say a word to the teachers—doesn’t even fight them sending her home early for the day, because he’s happy to scoop her up and take her out for ice cream and tell her that he’s proud of her.

I feel I should put this here, that Lilith and Sanguinius had a great relationship and he was an excellent father before the Emperor came. It was just after the Emperor showed up that things started to go downhill from there, especially once Sanguinius reunited with his legion.

I don't think Sanguinius at first even realized just how different Lilith's blood thirst was to that of the blood angels/revenant and had treated it the same way he did theirs. As a result Lilith ended up getting a lot of Sang's insecurities by accident, as well as a few of her own because suddenly in this new place, her mutations aren't as accepted as they were with the blood. It's also a part of why she took so long to reach her full height/ had such a long adolescence. She wasn't feeding as she needed which caused her to become rather weak, and sickly.

Probably during this time, Sanguinius wasn't very able to notice that was something was horrifically wrong because like Sanguinius, Lilith is very good at hiding things if she doesn't want it known, along with the fact she started wearing veils around the same time she stopped drinking blood, or rather stopped drinking it as often as she should have been. Really she was only drinking enough to keep herself from falling into a coma. Probably wasn't that good of a fighter and likely some Luna Wolves noticed that she was weaker, but didn't know how to approach it.

Meanwhile the Emperor was using her to see if it was possible to get her to not be able to drink blood, or if it could be used to control her. Which is how she ended up in a coma for nearly six months and also when it was realized she was growing far more feathers then usual. I imagine it wasn't until Jaghatai came along that things really changed because Jag just saw a young teen suffering and nothing more. Like I imagine he asked her to remove her veil and when she did, he saw just how sickly she looked. He may not have understood much gothic at the time, but he definitely almost immediately tried to bring her back with him.

He's also the one to make Sanguinius fully realize that something was really fucking off. Sanguinius kind of knew, but the Emperor had pretty much been placating him by saying that He was taking care of her. Suffice to say he was not and Sanguinius was both not happy at all, and blaming himself because he should have known something was wrong.

Jaghatai is pretty much responsible for the woman Lilith became. He basically became her new mom, because even though he was just learning how the Imperium worked and getting used to his new status, he was not going to just stand by and allow Lilith to continue on. Or Sanguinius for that matter. She really started blossoming underneath both him and Sanguinius. Probably earns himself the nickname of Ibu, which is mom.

There's particular reason why I choose Jag for it, it could have easily been Vulkan considering Vulkan was found before Sanguinius. However, Jaghatai feels like he has the most common sense of his brothers and he's also from a nomadic tribe like Lilith. Also the most likely to not take Emps at his word, aside from maybe Corvus. (I realize Sang is probably also in this category but the man believed Emps when he said that He didn't kill Amara even tho he 100% did, so Jaghatai gets to be the one with the braincell, because Corvus is one of the last to be found)

I don’t usually make posts like this, but I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-intellectual junk lately, and I really think we need to put the word “pretentious” up on a shelf until people learn what it actually means.

It doesn’t describe someone who likes artsy-fartsy deep meaning media. People who are pretentious are fake. They’re posers trying to be sophisticated and unique, not like other girls. They pretend to only like stuff they think will make them sound cool when they talk about it. They want to act like they know something you don’t, and they want attention for it.

By definition, if you genuinely enjoy something, you can’t be pretentious. If it resonates with you, and you analyze it, and you don’t care what people think, that’s the polar opposite, actually. If you love obscure experimental prog music, if you watch underground high concept indie films through English teacher eyes, if you spend hours in a modern art museum reading each piece as a vessel for storytelling, if your backpack’s full of poetry books that inspire you, if you play underrated games that were someone’s passion project, if you have an interest in studying the classics or the masters, you are not pretentious.

Of course, some people just don’t like some stuff, and that’s fine, but that’s not what this is about. Don’t let anti-intellectuals shame you for enjoying things just because your interests are inaccessible to them, because they refuse to be brave and put effort into critical thinking. You’re not stuck up for refusing to overlook the craft of artists.

byan once full-on tackled a kid during a soccer game in gym and started just pummeling him in front of their whole class because he intentionally punted the ball at their head.

the kid in question had been tormenting them for months since they transferred to the school and, after an already shit day, they'd been at their wit's end. the ball hitting the side of their head was just the thing that sent them over the edge.

later that same day, they slammed his head into a locker because they got in trouble and he didn't, having claimed that hitting them had been an accident. they earned a week's suspension on top of their week's detention for this.

in the past, this boy had been one of the reasons byan would skip out on school, their anxiety and fear of what would be in store for them each day making them physically ill. he would hurl awful insults at them, pull incredibly meanspirited pranks on them with intent of causing embarrassment and sometimes harm, and sometimes took it as far as physical assault. somehow, he almost always managed to avoid getting in trouble for any of this.

the soccer incident was the final straw for byan. after that, they stopped trying to talk to any teachers or adults in general about what was going on and they took it into their own hands. violently. however, they never instigated, only ever retaliated — naturally, the kid was often able to make it seem like it was the other way around. byan's reputation only continued to get worse, and somehow, no matter how badly they managed to hurt him in return, he always came back with a vengeance instead of backing down and leaving them alone.

one time, they bit his hand so hard that he needed to get stitches. they earned themself a broken nose and a concussion for it, but to this day they hope he looks at that scar and remembers the pain and fear they caused him, even if it was only a fraction of what he'd put them through.

somehow, it wasn't until byan broke a mirror with his face that they were expelled from that school and finally got to move on to a different one. some part of them was vindictive enough to want to hunt him down and make his life miserable the way he made theirs, but there was an intense fear of seeing him again spurred both by trauma and the knowledge that he might not hold anything back while not on school grounds which ultimately stopped them.

Um so ehe I have thought of another very self indulgent and very silly AU. The premise of which is becoming paragraphs upon paragraphs long at this point bc I can’t keep things short and sweet 🤪 Anyway once I finish writing out the basic plot I will be sharing it here and that IS a threat

[britneyshakespeare]

should i start collecting porcelain barbies

[uselessnbee]

i have this scene in my mind where Mike and Will come out to each other before confessing and have a really nice talk about it and then when they just sit in comfortable silence one of them breaks it:

"...so...did you once have a crush on Lucas too?

"....i may have been a little too obsessed with him when i was 10...."

"dude! 11yo me was ready to plan a wedding when he did something sweet!"

and then they start laughing and teasing each other and just having fun being gay and comfortable with themselves thank you for listening<3

Did any other h2hoes watch that one YouTube series with the mermaid named Amy and her friends? 6 year old me was obsessed. I just put on Swimming by Florence and the Machine and had a wild series of flashbacks to early 2000s YouTube filled with fanmade H2O spinoffs
