Shira Chase however has over-confidence, this makes him pretty cocky when his team is in battle and it looks like they are winning, however Shira Chase is one of the longest Shira’s and he knows the grove, when Shira Tyler isn’t able to take lead in the field Shira Chase automatically takes that role. Which makes him a valuable teammate.

Chase had found his crystal two months before he officially bonded to it. Chase was caught up in an accident where there was a lot of violence, he saw an elderly couple in distress and immediately got them to safety, he proceeded to help as many people as he possibly could and because of him this accident could have been much worse then it was.

However this act of bravery caused his crystal to bond to him, and he was planning to go to New Zeleand to visit his family for the holidays.

Chase didn’t have the best childhood, his father was an alcoholic who was verbally abusive towards him and his little sister and would act out physically toward his mother.

Chase did well in school as he found it his safe place however who would do anything he could to look after Chloe and help his mother, because of the situation Carah would often leave Chase to take care of himself and Chloe, this caused the siblings to be extremely close.

Chase always knew he wanted to love someone and take care of them and treat them as they deserved to be treated. Chase moved to America when he was 18 because he wanted to discover more in love beyond the seas, however he would always visit New Zeleand whenever he could for his mom and sister.

Hi TG Fandom!

I love thinking about an AU where: Pete Mitchell is eight years old and used to being bounced around from foster home to orphanage to group home to foster home. An eight-year-old Pete who is scrappy and world-savvy and angry, just imagine a Maverick before he's Maverick — all that Maverick-ness balled up in this pint-sized Pillsbury biscuit can of whoop-ass. He runs the show wherever he goes with his loud mouth and sense of righteous fury. 

But then there's this new boy at the group home, this chubby nine-year-old blond boy with broken glasses held together with duct-tape and a big sweater with patches that covers his hands and half his face. He doesn't talk and spends most of the day hiding in his bed or reading an old Chemistry textbook that he brought from wherever he came from. Pete doesn't get him, thinks he's weird and the fact that the boy always looks so scared makes his tummy feel squirmy. 

So, he starts to sit next to Blondie, shares his food — basically the only thing of value he has, and starts talking, and talking, and talking and talking if only to fill up all the space that Blondie doesn't with his own words. Eventually, Blondie starts scooting closer to Pete, leans against him and starts to talk in a small whisper that only Pete can hear. 

Blondie’s name is Tommy. 

They grow up together in that group home, they bond to each other in a way they've never bonded to anyone else. They make plans to get out and join the Navy together one day, to fly; and they promise to never be apart or alone again.

Then Tommy gets adopted. 

Pete cries; Tommy screams. They might be teenagers now but it takes three men to get them to pry their hands off of each other. Tommy gets carried down the hallway howling, hands outstretched, yelling louder than Pete’s ever heard him speak before. Suddenly, the world is meaner and colder than it has ever been before and all he has left of his Blondie is that same scuffed up Chemistry textbook and a pair of broken glasses.

Pete runs away that night, glasses in his pocket and that heavy book stuffed into his backpack, but he never finds Tommy again… he finds Nicky Bradshaw instead. 

He starts to move on from the hope of ever seeing Tommy again… until Top Gun and Animal Night at the O Club, when Pete catches sight of the first boy he’s ever loved, hiding with shades on and a vodka glass in his hand, instead of a patchy sweater and a Chemistry textbook. 

Pete’s still a pint-sized Pillsbury biscuit can of whoop-ass and the world has changed them both into new people…

But when Iceman comes at him with bravado and snapping teeth, stinking of the alcohol that used to scare him when he was Tommy, regaling Maverick with tales of a father who loved a bottle more than him…

Pete reaches up to slip a little boy’s pair of broken glasses onto the blond’s face with a gentle, “Hi, Blondie.”

And Iceman crumbles away, leaving a crying Tommy in his place.

“Pete.”

He still says it the same way, like he's saying home.

I’m surprised we don’t talk about the Polle statue more.

Anya sleeps next to the Polle statue post-crash because it’s sound activated, therefore alerting her if Jimmy tries to approach her in the night. This is already horrific because it leans into the idea that , even AFTER crashing the ship, Jimmy has not learned that how he treated Anya had consequences and continued to abuse her after the fact, only with no Curly to act as even a theoretical buffer. Curly didn’t do much, but at the very least, the idea of him finding out was enough for Jimmy to keep his abuse of her under wraps. Now he has no one to stop him from doing so as long as it happens while Daisuke and Swansea are asleep.

The Polle statue becomes a symbol of Anya’s safety; her last safeguard against Jimmy, because she knows he cares about his reputation and won’t dare approach her if it’ll attract the attention of the other two, or at the very least alert her in case he tries anything and she can ward him off.

And then, halfway through, we find it broken. Smashed to pieces.

It’s easy to point to Jimmy as the culprit. As his control over the situation starts to dwindle and bite him in the ass, so does his control over Anya. The reason he imagines Polle as a monster in his mind is because he acts as a barrier between him and his favorite punching bag. Destroying it is a sign to Anya that she can’t escape him.

But… maybe it was Swansea, in a drunken rage, who destroyed it, out of annoyance of its constant jabbering about a job he hates, out of desperation, out of the growing stress of starvation and subsisting on only Mouthwash that made him lash out. Maybe he didn’t even realize just how badly he screwed over Anya in the moment, maybe only regretting it when he sees her dead.

It could have been Daisuke. Maybe it was an accident; maybe he bumped into it one day and it shattered. Maybe he couldn’t have known what he did.

Or maybe it was Anya herself. Maybe she’d came to the realization that the Polle statue couldn’t protect her forever, that if Jimmy ever eventually decided the risk of exposure was worth the attack on her, that the statue could not actually stop him. Maybe it was slowly losing battery power and, one fateful night, might no longer work. Maybe it was the beginning of the end for her; her slow realization that there was ever only one way this was going to end.

I think that the Supernatural fandom doesn't give Dean Winchester enough credit or hold John Winchester accountable nearly enough. I would argue that John's abuse (mental, emotional and physical) and its constant effect in both boys lives is constantly downplayed by a majority of the fanbase.

The parentification of an elder sibling has been proven to cause lasting issues and we see this throughout the show; when Dean is overly protective of Sam, treats Sam's life as more valuable than his own, can't picture a life where he's not needed, and his dismissal of Sam as a valuable contributor in an equal partnership. Dean is often criticized both in canon and by fans for being overbearing and codependent on Sam. This is a direct result of John Winchester's inability to parent.

Dean's emotional repression is shown to be caused by his father's militant behaviors and approach to parenting. Dean doesn't see his feelings as valid or important and thus turns to repression or unhealthy coping mechanisms as illustrated throughout the show. His alcoholism, violent outbursts, and unhealthy relationship with sex are all coping mechanisms he uses not to feel.

Through flashbacks (and some dialog) the viewer is show that Sam is more resentful towards John than Dean, and that he even holds resentment towards Dean for being the "perfect little soldier".

That's part of the reason Castiel is such a great foil for Dean, both are loyal to absent fathers' but while Dean was born with free will he follows his father's orders unwaveringly until sometime after his death, Cass a being created without free will breaks free of the command of his father and from his father's mission, becoming for all intents and purposes a Prodigal son like Sam.

Dean's adherence to his father's word is, much like Sam's rebellion a response to continued and repeated abuse, neither brother is perfect. And their father was the furthest thing from it.

do you have prompts for a whumpee abusing substances and being caretaked

Ohh, that will be a challenge for me but I'll do my best!

Addicted Whumpee aftercare

(Cw: various substance abuse, bodily waste, forced hug, strong guilt, suggested séxual attraction)

______________________

Caretaker taking the stuff out of Whumpee's hand in random moments. There is a serious conversation with other teammates. C and W are in the background. W opens the drawer, C takes the bottle from their hand and shut it back.

Caretaker is a big strong bear type. So when Whumpee has some dumb or dangerous idea, they can stop it easily. Balancing on a stair railing? Bear hug, you ain't going anywhere. Running to the bus through te red lights, because they are so jacked? Bear hug. (C:) "Nope. Not doing that". Whumpee just kicks their feet in the air and whines.

(W:) "But I really wannaaaa..." (C:) "Well too damn bad, Whumpee. We don't always get our way."

Whumpee being... well, very aroused. And Caretaker being so done with them. (C:) "I swear, slap me one more time and I'll bite that hand off". (W:) "Heheh. Promise?" (C:) "You weren't into guys before! What happened?!!" (W:) "You are- I'm yoursexual now. Your-" (C:) "You are out of your mind right now, that's what you are"

Manic episodes, panic attacks, hallucinations, anger and derealisation. Stoic Caretaker knows that in this state Whumpee won't let them explain anything. So they just repeat "You are safe. Whumpee. You are safe. It's not real, it's your brain. You are safe".

"I am not qualified to help you with that, Whumpee. I will support you, but you have to go to the proffesional. It has to be your decision".

Caretaker asks Whumpee a lot of questions. About their opinions, visions on life, about their emotions and what caused them. About their dreams, their imagination, their fears. And is very, very insightful about it. Because if Caretaker can help Whumpee process, maybe it will be easier for them to stay in reality.

Caretaker makes sure Whumpee's safe (dresses them up, feeds them, makes sure the doors are locked and sharp objects are hidden) and then locks themselves in their bedroom. It's Caretaker's space to rest and take care of themselves. Listen to music, chat with people, do the work. And Caretaker wouldn't be able to help anyone if they were exhausted or overwhealmed.

There's a lot of nasty, tiring, irritating things. Like whumpee not holding their bladder, vomiting, getting angry and unresponsive, tripping, destroying things. Getting lost in the city, going out without parts of clothing (like barefoot). They have to be forced for safety or fulfilling basic needs like eating. And they feel so ashamed and guilty about it.

Whumpee at some point breaks down and cries so much it's hard for them to breathe (W:) "Caretaker... I'm so sorry... for everything... I don't want you to live like this. I'm disgusting. I'm a nightmare". Caretaker just hugs them in silence. (C:) "We will get through this, Whumpee. I love you. I know you suffer a lot too"

Whumpee's skin shows the effects of addiction. So Caretaker is motivating them for right higiene (C:) "Sit down. No. Sit down here and wait. Just because you're hangover doesn't mean you have to look like a dry resin" (W:) *frowns, as Caretaker starts putting on their face a generous amount of a moisturizing cream* "Ah, colddd.. Stop- uh- I'm not a baby" (C:) "Your lips are bloody cracked. It must hurt. No, stop biting it. Let me grab a lipstick" (W:) "I can do it myself.." (C:) "And still you don't".

Caretaker comes back home late and sees Whumpee passed out on the floor. Picks them up and carries them to bed. Teases them: (C:) "I always wanted to have a kid. I knew I would have to feed and change them. BUT TODDLERS ARE AT LEAST CUTE!" (W:) "Shutt uppp you are so meann so so mean" (C:) "And you are so so stinky! Maybe I should buy you some diapers?" (W:) "Meeaannn... you're a mean persn"

Here's an interesting interview with a heavily substance abusing girl and her family.

[intrusive-thoughts-only]

All vices are fair game with BPD, how many can you collect?

Now Featuring: Substance Use, Self Harm, Binge Drinking, Sex, Nicotine, Starving Yourself, and so much more!

[greenyoshi72]

imagine being Percy Jackson. You just got to camp. Your mother just died. You begged a god to help you find your father. Said god, who isn’t your father, tells you he’s your father. What’s the first thing he asks of you? Get me a bottle of wine.

And you suddenly see your “real” father as the same person as your abusive, gambling, alcoholic step dad who never cared about you and your now dead mother.

[aspd-culture]

aspd + probably delusional culture is feeling like some kind of substance abuse will fix you (it definitely wont but can't hurt to try right?) (it definitely can but oh well)

[ashdoeswhump]

Tws: abuse, implied noncon, non-sexual nudity, blood mention, restraints, alcohol

Some summer whump ideas for you:

Whumpee is forced to lie out in the sun for hours without sunscreen or even clothes as punishment. Their skin burns and peels. Maybe they were tied down, so they have stark white lines cutting through the red.

Whumpee is made to wear a long sleeved shirt and long jeans while working. They're covered in sweat, and whumper tells them how gross they are, how filthy and smelly and sticky.

Whumpee is the guest of honour at whumper's pool party, wearing a revealing bikini/speedo for the guests to coo over and stare at. Whumper's friends force them to drink alcohol on an empty stomach, to dance for them, to go in the water where no one can see the guests' straying hands.

Whumpee's cell has awful insulation, so all the sweltering heat comes in. Salty sweat mixing in with the tears and blood. Maybe they're in a stress position, their muscles already burning from exertion, the heat just making everything worse.

[irondad-defensesquad]

even if we're just dancing in the dark

In which Tony has a bad dream, Peter hasn't slept at all, and they're two stubborn idiots. Also on AO3!

TRIGGER WARNINGS: past abuse and neglect, bad dream/nightmare, and implied/referenced alcoholism.

DO NOT SHIP PETER AND TONY. P/roship DNI.

--

It’s dark and cold. Chilling cold.

It’s all black and white. Only black and white. Tony sees no gray. He sees no stars, either. Only white snow.

He searches for any other color, preferably any orange, warm fire, the smell of hot cocoa… any welcoming home.

Tony, finally, encounters a payphone. Unfortunately, it’s not inside a cabin. He has some change left and he calls the first person on his mind. The one person who misses him when he’s gone. The one person who always picks him up, no matter how long it takes.

“H-Hello? J?” Tony is freezing so damn much, it hurts. “C-Can you come p-pick me up? He… He k-kicked me out of the car… M-Made me walk… Please, I’m cold…”

He doesn’t receive any reply.

“I-I’m- I’m in the middle of the road. I can’t… see anything, b-but I know I’m not anywhere near home. I s-see a bench, though.”

Tony receives no questions. Least of all any concern from the other end. He hears nothing, not even the ringing. Not even breathing. But someone is there, right?

“J-Jarvis?” He calls. He sounds like the little kid who would go to his butler after having a bad dream, or after Howard screamed at him again.

He waits for a “yes, sir?” or “Master”. Or just “Tony”. Anything.

But…

“Jarvis…?” Tony’s voice is higher, about to break into tears. “Please, don’t leave me.”

Jarvis?

Don’t leave me, buddy.

--

He wakes up crying.

Tony doesn’t remember the last time he cried after a bad dream. It must’ve been after his parents died, as well as after Jarvis was deceased.

He’s near his fifties and yet he feels like a little kid.

Tony realizes he’s in his room, upstate. He’s home, not anywhere near a blizzard. He’s safe here.

But he’s alone tonight. Pepper is working abroad.

He’s not having an anxiety attack. No, he’s just…

Sad.

Tony curls up in a ball, hugging himself fiercely, yet hiding from the world. He keeps it down, or else Howard is going to open that door with the most violence possible and scream at how worthless his pathetic excuse for a Stark son is.

But then, like Tony usually does, he can’t stay in his bedroom. He often tiptoes to the kitchen – or, in his later years, his workshop. Not his father’s. Tony briefly looks at the time – it’s almost 3 AM. Sighing, he leaves his bed and goes out to another sleepless night.

He figures it’s best not to bother Pepper, considering the time zone. Same counts for Rhodey and Happy, despite them readily talking to Tony whenever he needs.

It must have something do with the topic of the dream.

Tony has told others about the nightmares where he loses everyone he cares about, or a potential end of the world where he’s the only one left alive. But never the ones about his deepest fears: of never being enough, of his father’s words, of the smell of alcohol, things breaking and exploding…

Sometimes, they’re scarier than the usual superhero baggage.

Either way, Tony makes his way to the kitchen to either drink water or make coffee. He hasn’t decided yet.

He passes by the workshop, and…

The lights are on.

Did he forget them on or-

No, there’s music playing. And it’s definitely not AC/DC.

Tony makes a detour, wanting to understand what’s happening. If he did leave everything on or if someone is in there, indeed.

When he goes inside, it’s “I Wanna Be Sedated” by The Ramones playing. It’s not very loud.

And someone’s humming along the music…

“Just get me to the airport, put me on a plane, hurry, hurry, hurry, before I go insane, I can't control my fingers, I can't control my brain, oh, no, oh, oh, oh, ho…”

A teenage boy happens to be hanging from upside down, reading a book and rubbing his pencil against his head. He’s quick to notice Tony in the lab.

“… Oh! Mr. Stark! I’m sorry, did I wake you up?” Peter smiles nervously, getting down from the ceiling.

So, two things: 1) Tony completely forgot that Peter was staying over tonight, and 2) Why is he up at 3 in the morning?

“Mr. Stark?” Peter’s smile disappears. “Are you okay?”

Albeit confused, Tony frowns and questions, “Why aren’t you in bed, mister?”

“Why aren’t you?” Peter puts his hands on his hips, looking far goofier than ever serious.

“Answer me first.”

“But I asked firster than you!”

“Firster- have you even slept at all?”

“What about you? You look spooked, Mr. Stark! Did you have a bad dream or something?”

“I’m the adult here, just answer me already! Why are you up at this goddamn hour?”

“Jeez, Mr. Stark, it’s not even school night, why do you bother?”

“Because someone never tells me what’s going on until I have to find out for myself!”

“Okay, when you’re ready to talk, let me know,” Peter just jumps and returns upside down.

Tony groans. “Do not go upside down on me, young man.”

“Everything is fine, Mr. Stark! I just couldn’t sleep.”

“Why?”

“‘Why’ why? Why do you ask so many questions?”

“Peter, I literally just woke up, stop being a pain in my ass already.”

The teenager pretends to be reading whatever book he has, refusing to look Tony in the eye. Yeah, something is definitely going on with him, too bad Peter is too much of a stubborn little shit to trust his own mentor.

“God, you’re fucking impossible,” Tony gives up and sits on the couch. Dang, he needs coffee.

… Turns out Peter made some coffee, now that he smells it. The coffee maker is not too far from there.

Sighing, Tony takes his mug and gets some coffee for himself. The first sip seems to calm him down. No one ever understood his relationship with black, bitter coffee.

… Even though he knows Peter put a bit more sugar in it. Tony doesn’t mind it, though.

He glares at the teenager, who’s still up there, doing the silent treatment. Meanwhile, “Pretend We’re Dead” by L7 plays in the background. Peter goes back to his humming – he seems to be taking notes in the book. Tony will assume that’s just his homework.

Tony just… “vibes” there. Mostly because Peter won’t say a damn thing.

The music selection seems to tell it for him.

Garbage’s “I Think I’m Paranoid”.

Then Van Halen’s “Jump”.

Peter hums the songs with passion.

Tony, as concerned as he is, notices that the boy is wearing those Hello Kitty pants again. Peter loves saying he hated them, but here they are.

Suddenly, it’s Bruce Springsteen.

“Dancing in the Dark”.

By far the saddest one.

How the hell does Peter dance upside down without feeling sick?

Tony sighs again, seeing that DUM-E is dancing along. A sad dance as well.

His grumpiness, having recovered thanks to the coffee, mostly disappears. Tony may only move his feet along with the music.

Hell, Tony used to hear this a lot when he was Peter’s age (or close to it).

…

“Even if we’re just dancing in the dark… Even if we’re just dancing in the dark…”

For once, Peter turns around to Tony. He isn’t smiling.

The man doesn’t yell at him again. He just gestures at the coffee and drinks another sip.

Not too long after, Peter gets down again. He leaves the book aside and takes his own cup.

“Can I… sit here?” The boy asks, referring to the free space on the couch.

Tony shrugs. “Knock yourself out.”

They sit together in silence. Peter is rather stiff.

They drink coffee simultaneously.

It’s almost funny. They do that without even trying.

“… Um…” Peter gulps. He doesn’t finish the sentence.

Silence.

“… I couldn’t sleep ‘cause… I dunno, sometimes there’s so much in my head, y’know?” Peter explains, awkwardly. “It’s a lot- a lot of things. I didn’t want to be in my room so I thought I could distract myself.”

Tony hums. “I take it that it’s school too, right,” he guesses.

“Yeah. There’s this test coming up… I’m scared I’m gonna screw up, so I just- I just wanted to be prepared.”

“You could’ve asked me to help you—”

“It’s nothing we do here, honestly. It’s English.”

“I can still help with that. I’m not an outsider in other subjects.”

“C’mon, you don’t have to—”

“Peter,” Tony inhales before getting mad again, “I just want you to remember you don’t have to do everything by yourself. If you need help, you can ask me or ask someone else.”

The teen doesn’t protest.

“… Yeah, I know.”

Tony doesn’t reply with a snarky comment or a scoff.

“And you can let me know when you can’t sleep, either,” he says instead. “Especially if something is bothering you.”

Peter may not outright accept, but he’s not completely avoiding the offer, either.

“… You can tell me when something is bothering you, too, Mr. Stark,” the arachnid says. “I know you’re the adult, but then who’s looking out for you?”

“It’s not your job, kid.”

“Yeah, but… you don’t have to, like, put a façade when I’m around. I’m not gonna think any less of you.”

Tony wants to shake his head, but he doesn’t. He wants to cry, too. He wants to cry because of these little puppy eyes that care about him no matter what. Tony certainly doesn’t want to use the kid for his own problems… But coming here helps.

The man puts his free arm around the couch, somewhat inviting Peter to sit closer if he wants.

“… Well… You know my dad,” Tony begins. “He was cold, he never wanted me around, I could never live up to him… So the thing is, in my dream, I relived this one time where… we were returning home from a party – my dad and me. I was drunk. We were both drunk, honestly. But Howard acted like I was the fucked-up alcoholic, that I embarrassed him. I don’t remember well what I said to him, but whatever it was, it was enough for him to kick me out of the car and force me to walk all the way home.”

Peter tenses, listening to all of this.

“I remember yelling right before he left,” Tony continues, “‘Yeah, you know what, I don’t need you! I never did!’. And I was alone. In the freezing snow, with no coat on, because he simply did not care. So, I walked. I was so freaking cold. I was crying and it hurt a lot. I was lucky to find a payphone so I could call my butler, Jarvis. He was the only one there for me at home, from the very beginning. Even then, I had to wait for him, lying on a bench. For a second, I thought Jarvis was going to give up on me, too. ‘Cause he’d been dealing with my bullshit for who knows how long. But no… first thing he did, was wrap me up in two coats, and he took me to his home, so I didn’t have to face my parents’ disappointment. He didn’t get angry at me, and I couldn’t understand why… But I knew I could count on him, always.”

There’s a few seconds of silence before Peter sits a little closer in curiosity.

“Wow. You… never really told me about Jarvis.”

“Jarvis… He was…” too good for me. “He was an actual father to me.” And I feel like I never really told him that.

Peter looks contemplative.

“Jarvis reminds me of you.”

Tony immediately looks at the kid, shocked.

“Yeah?”

“Yeah. You’d do the same for me. Well, you already do.”

…

“Well… In the dream,” Tony clarifies, “Jarvis gave up on me. So I just… lied in that cold bench, all on my own.”

Peter looks pained for him. Then he replies:

“I’m glad he didn’t, in reality."

Tony gazes at him. Peter is smiling yet tearing up.

“I’m also glad you didn’t give up on me,” the latter whispers, briefly looking away in shame.

Dang it. This kid is going to make him cry again.

But in the good way.

Tony, instinctively, wraps Peter in a hug. Which shocks the teenager.

“Is this- happening??”

“Yes, Peter. It’s happening.”

“Oh.” The boy awkwardly hugs Tony back. “Are you crying?”

“It’s good tears, kid.”

“Okay.”

“Thanks.”

“… Y-Yeah. Thank you, too.”

Tony doesn’t break down like before, but he lets himself cry quietly. He rubs Peter’s back up and down, until he reaches the back of Peter’s head to smooth his curls. The other is still a little unsure how to react, though he eventually relaxes and doesn’t care much about it.

Finally, Tony releases him and pats one of his shoulders.

“… You wanna watch a movie?”

“Oh, sure!”

“I can make popcorn and there’s still ice cream left.”

“Yeah, that’d be cool.”

“You can pick the movie.”

“Awesome, yeah, yeah.”

And of course, Tony hands him his old MIT sweater, noticing that Peter is cold.

At one point, not too long after… Peter has fallen asleep.

Tony doesn’t, but at least he gets to look after the kid, and thus take him to bed.

After smiling fondly, Tony leaves Peter’s room.

After that, he revisits some old family pictures. Specifically the ones with Jarvis. They never had many solo pictures together, unless they were taken by Ana, Jarvis’ wife.

He needs to frame these. Tony is Jarvis’ son, after all.

[purplemang0z]

Ok, so I have a bunch of headcanons about Rick's parents and home life before he met Diane so, I'm just gonna yap about it and show you my art. Btw I headcanon Rick as trans so that's gonna add to my other headcanons.

I named them Irene Miller and Gustavo Sanchez.

So Rick was canonically born in 1943, and I think he's mixed Mexican and white.

He parents met when they were both 17. His father was an immigrant and his mother was upper middle class and born in America. They fell in love, and Irene eventually became pregnant. Being that this was in the 40s and they were an interracial couple, it didn't end well. Irene's father chased Gustavo out of town and her family disowned her. Gustavo's parents gave him some money and made sure he had a safe way out of town. They didn't have much money, but they eventually found a cheap place in a large city so that they could make some money. Gustavo got a job as a factory worker while Irene stayed as a homemaker.

When Rick was born, they struggled a bit with having a stable income. Irene had gotten addicted to wine due to stress and spent a lot of their little money on it and Gustavo did the same with cigars. They had both resented each other because of the situation that they had put each other in. Their relationship was pretty tense and that made it harder to raise him.

When Rick got older, they tried to enroll him in school. That didn't go very well. He wasn't good at focusing on his work and had a lot of meltdowns (cause he's autistic) which ended up with him getting home schooled by his mother. His mother tried to teach him but she was drunk a lot of the time and Rick wasn't able to focus. His father didn't help mostly because he was at work a lot of the time, but even when he was home he didn't feel the need to help out because he thought it was a woman's job to raise a "daughter". They both could tell he was incredibly smart, Gustavo made sure he was kept inside and sheltered a lot of the time because of it. He would probably get himself into trouble or worse.

As Rick grew up, his household became more and more tense. Their income was still bad and his parents got into more and more arguments. Rick wasn't helping, he was constantly taking apart their appliances, had his nose in books and occasionally took some of his parents substances. This ended with him getting spanked, or punished a lot of the time. It didn't help that he constantly "talked back" to his parents. Gustavo despised that.

When he was 16, he met Diane. I think they met when Rick was at the library. They ended up talking about a book they were both interested in and they fell in love. They had to keep this hidden because the world and his parents still saw Rick as a girl and two "woman" being in an interracial relationship in the 50s 😬. Rick was pretty sheltered due to being homeschooled and kept inside most of his life was pretty captivated by Diane and he ability to push him outside his comfort zone.

They kept their relationship secret for 2 years until, his father caught them kissing outside their house. He was livid. Rick tried to explain, but Gustavo ended up punching him and kicking him out. He tried to look for his mother to help but she turned his back on him. She said that he could come back when he "found Jesus." That night he disowned his parents and never looked back.

Some notes that I couldn't fit into the above section.

Irene was extremely religious and constantly forced that on Rick.

Rick wore "boy" clothes around the house, much to his parents dismay.

Diane and Rick were rarely around each other in public. Not even in a romantic sense just because of racism and segregation. They snuck out at night a lot of the time.

The reason that I think Rick never mentions his parents in the show is that he doesn't care about them anymore. He disowned them. They don't matter to him nor does he value their opinion. Diane was the only important thing from that part of his life so he doesn't need to think about them.

I think that Irene acts very similar to Rick when he's drunk.

He also got his alcoholism from her. Along with Beth.

But I think that Rick and Gustavo act similarly when angry. Very egotistical, self centered and basically just spitting out insults.

They get married in the 60s because that when interracial marriage became legal.

Their marriage gets less tense to them no longer carrying their resentment or the stress of raising a child.

Irene was hit a few times by Gustavo but never left due to her feelings like she deserved it.

Irene carries a bit of resentment towards Rick for being born and "ruining her life" she never outwardly showed it but still carries it with her.

This aided her decision to not fight Gustavo in kicking him out.

7 Sins Legacy - generation 4 (pride)

Supriya: You were with your friends, weren't you?! Gulshan: What? No! I was at the beach. I just needed some fresh air-

Supriya: Then why can I smell cigarette smoke on you?! You said the reason why you sometimes smell like that is because your friends smoke. Gulshan: Um...

As Gulshan tried to come up with an explanation why he smelled like cigarette smoke, he knew that he couldn't talk his way out of this one.

Supriya: Tell me Gulshan, why do you smell like cigarettes?! Gulshan: I... smoked one.

Supriya: YOU WHAT?! HAVE YOU COMPLETELY LOST YOUR MIND?! You know how bad it is! Where did it go wrong in that head of yours?! Gulshan: No- mom, I'm sorry. I won't do it again. I-

Supriya: DO YOU SEE WHAT A BAD INFLUENCE YOUR FRIENDS ARE?! This is not how I raised you! Is this what you want to do with your life? Smoking?! Drinking?! What else? WHAT ELSE GULSHAN?! You need to make something of your life, NOT RUIN IT! Gulshan: I do! I do want to make something of my life!

Supriya: YEAH?! Then tell me, because with your current grades and attitude I can't see it happening! Gulshan: Well... I was thinking about opening my own restaurant when I'm done with school, and-

Supriya: Oh! your own restaurant?! Do you have any idea how many restaurants don't make it? You need to choose something with a future! Why can't you be more like Yasmine, who worked so hard to get accepted into university so she can become a doctor. Or Ravi, who wants to become a lawyer when he grows up. Gulshan: It's not my fault that my interests don't match your expectations!

Supriya: Watch your tone! I'm so done with you! Can't you understand that I want what is best for you?! After all that I've done for you- This is the way you thank me for it? You have no respect for me at all, do you? You better think about your actions if you still want to be my son the next time I catch you doing something like this. Gulshan: Mom... I said I'm sorry. I-

Supria: I am... so disappointed in you. Go to your room. I don't want to see you until dinner.

[thespookybean14]

Okay, so based on this original post, here’s my thoughts on the Nostromo Crew characters that I think about a lot!

⚠️ CW/TW: mentions of addiction, mentions of alcohol, mentions of being a POW, mentions of implied violent childhood/abuse, as well mentions as mental health. ⚠️

Note: If y’all are wondering about the colored heart emojis—-those are usually just the colors I associate with them! :)

Note 2: Some of these pieces of lore that I get also come from their pages on the Alien wiki, not just the dossiers I linked. I wanted various different sources to look at than just one. In fact, the post I linked mentions some of the differences between the Legacy and Anthology sets. I wanted to let y’all know! :)

Nostromo Crew Lore:

Dallas ❤️:

•His birthday is February 27th, 2076!

•He’s from Montana

•When he was thirty years old (June 1st, 2106) he was commissioned into the United Americas Outer Rim Defense Fleet. He was a lieutenant!

•He fought in the Torin Prime Civil War from when he was thirty to when he was thirty-two as a pilot.

•After liberating Torin Prime he gained a promotion to captain and received the Sunburst Medal of Honor.

•He lost the UAS Archangel in an enemy attack in 2109.

•It ended terribly, ultimately leading to him getting a dishonorable discharge in January of 2110.

•Dallas went missing in action for three years after that (2110-2113)…like no one knows what happened to him. I really want to know where he went during this time period honestly

•Then he casually smuggles weapons and medical supplies into The Solomons in 2113.

•He buys his own ship (Tremolino) in 2114 and owns it until 2118, when it gets decommissioned. His crew also got disbanded.

•Dallas worked for the Tyrell Company at one point! (Blade Runner mention ‼️)

•It’s noted in his psych evaluation towards the bottom of the page that he had some effects of mild psychosis while doing work as an executive officer. He had hostility towards authority figures and it was subliminated.

•Unrelated to his file, but according to the Alien: Isolation novelization, Dallas meets Ripley and Amanda at some point in the 2110s. Ripley and Dallas end up being really good friends! He offered her a position on his crew. She didn’t take it at the time, but she did end up working with him later on The Nostromo upon his request.

Kane 🤍:

•He’s from the UK! :)

•His birthday is April 20th, 2083 according to the dossiers I linked; but in another set it’s March 28th, 2081. I’m going to stick with April 20th as his birthday.

•He graduated with honors both from private school and military school.

•He was in medical school from 2104-2108 until he got expelled due to dealing with issues of substance/drug abuse. He got treated for it. He would’ve been around twenty-one to twenty-four.

•He later got a Masters degree in Engineering in 2112.

•He served as a Mission Analyst at one point from 2115-2117.

•It’s noted in his psych evaluation that he’s a very idealistic overachiever and due to being under pressure in school caused him to have addiction issues.

•There’s a warning in his psych evaluation about his high levels of idealism and impulsiveness made him a poor candidate for work.

Ripley 💙:

•Ripley’s birthday is on January 7th, 2092!

•Ripley wasn’t born on Earth, she was born on Olympia, a colony on the moon!

•She had to quarantine from the time she was two years old until she was eighteen years old due to a virus outbreak.

•Ripley was very good at law, ethics, and corporate while in school. She also graduated at the top of her class. I like to imagine she probably would’ve wanted to be a lawyer at some point.

•Unrelated to her file, but I did the math in my free time because Amanda Ripley was born in 2112. Ripley would’ve been twenty years old when she had Amanda.

•According to her file, Ripley negotiated an end to a hostage crisis. 49 lives were saved and 8 terrorists were convicted. That was on October 16th, 2115. If you do the math, Ripley would’ve been twenty-three years old.

•She requested for maternity leave and Weyland-Yutani denied her the maternity leave in 2118. She sued them and got her flight license and salary suspended. I hate Weyland-Yutani.

•At least she got it back and got maternity leave before her trip on the Sotillo.

•If you scroll further down the page, it’ll show some of the crew’s psych evaluations. Under Ripley’s, before she had to leave on the Nostromo trip, it’s noted she wanted to stay with her daughter due to experiencing severe feelings of guilt over her lack of contact with Amanda.

(^ That really got me. I think that actually haunts me.)

Lambert 🧡:

•She’s from Canada!

•Her birthday is November 7th, 2093 (she’s the youngest crew member…)

•She has a masters degree in Astro-Cartography, so I think it has something to do with reading maps related to space (considering her role as a navigator), she graduated in 2112.

•She was an intern at Ridton Corp. from June-September 2112.

•She got married in October of 2112 (she would’ve been 18), then divorces Xander Chapman in February of 2114 (she would’ve been 20).

•Lambert got married again in September of 2118 and divorced Lordan Hessutt in January of 2120 (She would’ve been 24 the second time she got married; then 26 when she divorced him…if I did the math wrong please correct me).

•It’s mentioned in her dossier that she’s transgender! :)

•Also, not shown in her dossier in the post I linked, but in the background of Aliens (1986), it’s mentioned on her dossier when it’s shown on the background (if you look closely), it states “slight hyperactivity and nervousness diagnosed” so I think she’s neurodivergent too. :)

Parker 💚:

•Parker is from California!

•His birthday is February 4th, 2080

•Parker was originally a pit mechanic at one point from 2100-2104. He quit his job over a salary dispute.

•Parker, like Dallas, was also in the United Americas Outer Rim Defense Fleet during the Torin Prime Civil War. He was in Skyfire Down and his rank was Private (January 9th, 2105-June 14th, 2107…he would’ve been around twenty-five to twenty-eight years old.)

•It makes me wonder if they’ve heard of each other or even if they knew each other at any point while in the Outer Rim Defense Fleet.

•He later gets promoted to corporal and is a chief mechanic from June to August of 2107.

•Unfortunately on August 1st, 2107, Parker was captured by J’har Rebels and ended up becoming a prisoner of war from August 2107-February 2108. :(

•He manages to escape his imprisonment on February 21st, 2108 by building an emergency escape vehicle out of scrap!

•He later gets honorably discharged in October of 2108.

•He becomes besties with Brett on the USCSS Nonnabo in 2117.

•On his Xenopedia page, it’s mentioned that he dislikes authority figures. (According to the Anthology set)

Brett 💛:

•Brett’s from Texas!

•His birthday is July 13th, 2069

•He worked as a hardware specialist at a solar energy plant from 2094-2095, but it later got terminated.

•He worked at Ridton Corp. in 2096 (same place Lambert worked at!!)

•He piloted cargo ships through a war zone at high speed, causing his to be suspended from work…yikes.

•He has troubles with alcoholism

•While going through detox in 2112, he unfortunately suffered from brain damage.

•It’s implied in his psych evaluation that he had a troubled family life and violent childhood memories :(

•Parker helped him out tremendously, so I really love the both of them a lot.

Ash 🩶:

•There’s not really much on his dossier other than the fact he was with the crew two days before leaving Thedus.

•Apparently Ridley Scott explained in a interview at one point that he gave Ian Holm information about Ash (ie. place of birth, education, etc,) however that information was never really made fully known to everyone and it’s likely a cover-up for the fact he’s an android.
