Small Aruden things that I neeeed in my life

Aiden carries stim toys with him everywhere for Aru (I’m Ive Said this before but it’s so important)

Aru has posted exactly one (1) YouTube video, titled Homemade Swedish Fish and the last thirty seconds are just her dancing to Single Ladies while Aiden eats them all

They both suck at sleeping unless it’s with each other. Then, they’re out for the next twelve hours in slumberland.

THEY ARE SO COMFORTABLE WITH EACH OTHER I JUST CANT-

I know I’ve talked a bit about what Aiden has in his purse (I might do a what’s in his bag later) but… after spending so long with the Pandava sisters, he’s carrying around pads and tampons at ALL TIMES. Midol and Advil, too once Aru tells him that she gets cramps.

When they move in together,Aru cooks breakfast and lunch, and Aiden is in charge of any and all snacks. They work on dinner together, though Aiden typically takes charge for that.

Their music tastes line up perfectly, but Aru’s such a musical theatre kid that every once in a while a song from Heathers or In The Heights will show up in the slew of car jams.

I promise there’s more I‘ll just add later

bram appreciation club

seriously, this man deserves so much- one of the first scene we see him in, he's being forced to turn people he doesn't know into vampires, man's part of the decay of angels, part of a terrorists group when he doesn't even know what age he's in, doesn't understand most of the things that happens anyway, being forced to serve a man who take away from him any form of freedom, being used and treated like he doesn't matter anything (fukuchi that shithead talks to him in a rather disrespectful and offensive way like he isn't himself a shitty person) and overall he reacted so badly to being called a calamity he made me cry. and the soft way he treats Aya is actually so cute, I totally need more content ab them and I absolutely despise everyone who doesn't appreciate this bbg

I need so much this guy to have his body and powers back and beat the shit out of that overpowered old fucker. and I don't care about the fact that the piece of trash beat him before, he made our bb suffer

. . . what happens between women now is the most interesting thing in the world because it's least described.

Very interesting!!! At first, I understood where Peter Dinklage was coming from, but now reading this, I get why there’s a massive problem with the removing of these characters.

You guys be sleeping on the Bracketeering bettors for real...

Each and every one of their designs are absolute bangers! Every single one of them looks so unique, there’s only two that i would say look alike and even then, not by that much.

Seriously, look at these designs and tell me they don’t go hard!

Like where’s their fanart? Where is it? The only fanart i ever see from this game is people’s interps of Dandelion, never these guys!

I have seen the above meme over and over and always felt like it was missing an important demographic, tonight I fixed it.

Context:

One of my fanfiction works has a small, but dedicated following on AO3 where I have a few regulars who comment. It is the only one that currently exists in its fandom.

On the other hand, I've had an idea for a much more popular fandom that I've been working on. I will be working on both, but which should I prioritize?

I would love to see more people writing Jack beyond his normal goofy self. The man has a passion for the supernatural that stems from his ancestors, yes. But there had to have been times in his life he noticed how his passion can come off as really obnoxious. Jack Fenton is built like a freaking tank—that must have been hard to adjust to growing up around other kids.

There are so many ways I could see him doing stuff aside from ghost-hunting:

—Have him teach both his kids about gun safety even if his aim is shit. The laser weapons they made are still dangerous to humans.

—Jack taking Jazz and Danny camping. He grew up in a cabin/woods adjacent, sometimes he missed the simpler nature atmosphere.

—The man is a very affectionate person. His kids receive hugs no matter how old they get.

—Him trying to relate to Danny on how hard keeping your grades up can be. While he might not be any spectrum, he knew how difficult it could be to listen to people drone on math. The literature things the ghost hunter couldn’t quite get as a kid. Nobody likes school unless they are smart enough to breeze through it like Jazz and Maddie. Some people work better with their hands or need to have a physical example.

—Jack preaching about finding good friends. One's that laugh with you and not at you.

I’m willing to bet he can listen when he wants to even if he doesn’t fully understand. Jazz with her psychology stuff or Danny’s passion for the stars. He cares deeply for his kids.

Jack is under appreciated in the Fandom and it shows!

Like love Maddie, she’s a queen when she’s not traumatizing her son, but we sleep on Jack!

Like in both normal Danny phantom fandom and especially the dc x dp crossover.

More often than not Jack gets shoved into supporting character role in the fandom and I feel like this is a missed opportunity!

His main traits are loving his family and hunting ghost but he plays second fiddle to Maddie!

Love cool karate mom but we’re sleeping on the Himbo gun dad dammit!

Give me more character progression for him!

Make Jack make tough choices!

Have he have a crisis of faith!

Have him realize that Vlad doesn’t like him and is obsessed with his son and wife!

Have him ask what is more important, ghosts or family.

Have him choose family.

Have him run away with his kids in the dead of night.

Have him choose ghosts have him be the main antagonist

Have Jack chase after his missing family in a fucked up way of thinking he’s going save them!

Make him do something other than love wife and be tank antagonist!

He is basically Brucie Wayne if he was real and had a thing for guns!

Use Jack!

tfw the NSF determines that i (a queer, nonbinary, AFAB, "low income" for my area, college student majoring in Civil Engineering) ... is Not A Minority! wow i'm so happy. really reminds me of how my college did not give me work-study, while every other school i got accepted into did.

resources and programs meant to empower underrepresented students and create a more equitable college process are still controlled by larger governing organizations and, as such, still possibly subjected to systemic oppression.

what can i say except to argue that my lived experience makes me a "minority," to argue that my experiences determine me eligible for some half-assed program? what can i give but anecdotal evidence? what can i fucking DO about this, but suffer through the system as best i can the way i always have?

there is no way to tally the engineering socials (from Engineering Student Council to American Society of Civil Engineers to Steel Bridge) that i've skipped because it would've cost a membership + a night out, the number of times i've walked into a male-dominated class and felt oddly stupid and talked over, the way it feels to be the only AFAB welding in a group of cishet guys. i'm not even technically a member of the club i spend 4-6 hours grinding / providing labor in every week (steel bridge) because i decided not to spend my precious money on membership this (freshman) year; a club where i'm lucky if i see another AFAB (typically 1 of 2 seniors); a club where the cishet men around me are kind and approachable and friendly and still all cishet men.

i am afraid to live authentically as myself, but i am not "eligible." because others have it worse than me, my own experience is invalidated through a quick run of demographic data through a database set up by the NSF. i am not the numbers i come with, but that is all these organizations see. it feels devastating.
