i don’t think caretaker trauma is talked about enough

of course whumpees are going through horrible things and deserve care and love and all that. they’re the whumpees, they’re traumatized to an extreme degree.

but being the person who cares for the whumpee, the one who has to see this shell of a person over and over, the one who the whumpee flinches away from when they’re just trying to make sure whumpee eats. the one who is running on no sleep because making sure the whumpee gets rest is more important than sleeping themselves. the one who had to watch the ransom videos. the one who was just sitting, helpless, or the one frantically searching to no avail. the one who blames themselves for not being able to rescue whumpee sooner.

the caretaker deserves some love and care and comfort too.

Pickup Note

Get ready to rock and roll with a new steddie fanfiction by @thefreakandthehair & @sidekick-hero with art by me!!! - coming 2024

Eddie, you and Gareth have worked very closely over the years with him as your second in command, so to speak. What’s it been like with Steve now stepping into the drummer role? Eddie: “It’s been… different. Definitely a big adjustment but you know what they say. The show must go on, and all that shit.” Steve: “I can’t speak for everyone— that’s Eddie’s job— but all things considered, the ship is still sailing, Gareth’s been super helpful, and I think fans have a ton to get excited about.”

since Janus seemed to be tickled by the idea of a dead grandma and a dead hamster, my hc is that he's a sucker for dark jokes and Remus tries to come up with the most horrifying gorey jokes to impress Janus. and it works every time.

[dukeyeatsdeodorant]

Remus: Roman, wanna play dnd with me? And Janus, and Logan?

Roman:..What's the catch?

Remus: There's no catch! I just think you'll enjoy it!

Roman: No way. I am not playing dnd with you.

Remus: You get to meet some hot monstersss

Roman:

Remus: *Shows him the art Janus made of the monsters*

Roman: ooOOo HELLO SAILOR!! I'm in, brother!

Remus: Yay! I already made you a character, you're my half brother!

Roman: Why half brother?

Remus: Our mom was a prostitute!

Roman: Oh, alright.

Musings on Cyno/Alhaitham/Candace + language

.

Candace tells Cyno he sounds like a textbook when he speaks in the desert tongue. More identifiably rainforest than passing merchants or even some scholars. Cyno confides that Cyrus never told him from where in the Sands he's even from; no tribe to seek out, no dialect to learn from, no folktales or traditions to even remember.

Candace starts helping him learn the Aaru dialect since. "Lending" it to him. Maybe Aaru Village wasn't the home he was born in, but she made sure it was the second home he was always welcome in.

.

Cyno taught Alhaitham simple Matra code when he was Acting Grand Sage. "Status check", "ok", and so on, in case of emergencies. Alhaitham first uses this in the Grand Sage office after a long day; stress had stolen from him speech and sign and writing, leaving behind weak taps and scratches of "escape needed".

Cyno starts asking "status check" more often since. Still in code. Even after he returned to being Scribe, even during meet ups with friends, an escape to silence can still be necessary.

.

Alhaitham asks Candace why she writes to him in Vedanagari script in personal letters. Her calligraphy is more stilted compared to her writing in Deshret script. Candace admits she craved a connection her father who was an Akademiya scholar; she couldn't spend much time with him growing up due to her Guardian training.

Alhaitham starts writing more letters to her since. Longer letters. About the Akademiya, calligraphy, and maybe someone who knows what it's like to seek your parents through written word.

[out-of-users]

I’d like to address a big thing when it comes to logicality (and TSS ships in general) portrayed in fanfics. It’s always “Emotionless nerd meets sweet innocent baby and sparks happen”. And while that’s true to some point, it always feels one-sided. I’m not saying you can’t do it, I’m just saying, to me it’s kind of annoying. Because sure, Logan may be a bit behind in understanding emotions, but he does feel them, like anger in WTIT, in the Christmas episode “What makes a perfect gift?” Curiosity and intrigue. Just like Patton may seem sweet and innocent, but he does understand complicated concepts that an adult would indulge in, because him and Thomas share the same memories, just doesn’t want people to do them. So, when you get down to it, those fanfics always seem wrong. Like the fandom (they do this with Virgil and Roman too,) takes characters, with some in-depth lore, and only focuses on that one part, scrapping the rest. So when you make a ship out of it, it feels wrong. Because it’s always just Patton being happy, and “What’s (insert dirty topic here?)” And Logan being like: “Hm, what is this feeling? I suppose it is unnatural.”

Thank you for going to my TED talk.

I have this entire idea where Danny stumbles upon Beeman, finds out he’s an UFO/alien expert and his space obsessed ass just won’t leave the man alone. Like he just appears in his lab sometimes and asks about his newest research or if they can go to space. (Beeman quickly learns he can’t get rid of this kid, he will always eventually come back.) He also gets to meet the other secret scientists at some point and he’s being a little shit through it all. Crashing their meetings and messing with everyone present. (in an endearing way <3)

It’s for the Crossover Danuary Week! (hosted by @amorpho ) Day 3: Secret Saturdays :]

I was actually supposed to write this idea as a short one-shot but it kept getting longer and I realized there’s no way I would finish it on time for the event </3 it is coming eventually though! For now I speedran some art </3

Also here’s a bonus of Danny messing with Zak (and Komodo) upon their first meeting:

twin sisters

[firewolf111]

Roman: I'm nothing. A nobody.

Janus: *slinking in from the shadows* What's so wrong with that?

Roman: *looks up startled before answering* No one likes a nobody.

Janus: Oh sweetheart. We both know that's not true.

Roman: What do you mean?

Janus: How many times has a show or a book have had a character with only seconds of screen time who somehow gains a devoted fan base?

Roman: Well...

Janus: Exactly. Eventually, you'll find your fan base. You will find those who will love you.

Roman: But-

Janus: Ah, ah, ah. No buts. It's the rules. If there is a character, there is someone who loves them. People are included in that rule as well. It's not just for fictional characters. Which means you are loved.

Roman: But who could love someone like me?

Janus: Me, dear. Me. And the rest of your family. You have your fans, you just have to see them. They love you. They love the person that you are.

Roman: What if I don't know who that is? What if I'm not sure what character I am?

Janus: That's the fun part. You get to decide your character. It's a choose your own adventure book. Completely customizable. And no matter what you pick, you'll still have someone who will love you.

Roman: Even if I mess it all up?

Janus: *chuckles* Sweetheart, have you seen the characters that some of these people simp for? You could be a serial killer and they'd fawn over you. So yes, even if you mess up.

Roman: I still don't know my role, though. I don't know what my character is or what part I play. I'm clearly not the hero.

Janus: *shrugs* Why can't you be the hero?

Roman: *Gestures to himself* Because I'm me. I'm no hero.

Janus: I think that's up to the author to decide.

Roman: *snorts* Who is the author? Jesus?

Janus: *rolls his eyes* You are. Obviously.

Roman: Me?

Janus: Yes. Have I not made that clear during my whole "You can create your own character" spiel?

Roman: *sighs* Yeah, yeah. Whatever. But what if I don't know what character I want to be?

Janus: Then just be Roman.

And maybe it was that simple. At least in theory. It isn't easy deconstructing the roles you forced yourself into. Nor is it easy to teach yourself to be the person you want to be instead of chasing the love and affection of others to the detriment of your identity.

Because most of us want to be someone. To matter and be loved. But what value does being someone hold other than placing us in a role to entertain?

In the end, being a nobody is much more fun. To be able to build yourself from scratch beside a fan base that cheers and loves you as they watch you grow.

Maybe someday Roman will be a somebody. Maybe one day all the nobodies will become something special. But for now, the story has just started.

Turn the page.

fat whumpees

whumpees who aren't the skinniest little toothpicks alive

whumpees with flab

whumpees with thick thighs

whumpees with more fat than muscle

whumpees who lose weight while being whumped but then gain it back in recovery and it's seen as a completely good thing

we just need more whumpees that don't have the standard, typical, cliche "ideal" body type that society pushes onto us. because whumpees can come in many shapes and sizes.

i will never shut up about this because i hate the idea that people can only be helpless and deserving of rescue and victims and all that if they're skinny and little and tiny.

Yippe finished the cover!! Been debating on making a comic still not 100% sure due to me starting and loosing motivation on past comics.
