#we could have had big and smol gremlin

[cocoabubbelle]

Hey, hello fellow Frelma shipper! Can I ask what you like the most of the ship? If you want to answer of course. Anyway have a good night!

Canon Reasons not necessarily in order

This includes all of the series, films, books, etc that I can remember from the top of my head. Meaning, I have not watched/read all of them but plan to when possible!

WARNING: might be slightly repetitive because my writing skills do not always follow or translate the thinking process of my brain.

Their color combinations don’t make me wanna barf. It is very hard to get the complimentary colors of orange and blue together without them looking like the visual representation of nails on a chalkboard.

Smol x Tol. A height difference combination that rarely fails. Especially if their complimentary shapes also include short and curvy/plump with big and bulky/muscles.

Nerd-shaped Nerd x Jock-shaped Nerd

The Smart One (Logic) x The Other Smart One (Creativity). This is mostly applicable to the earlier late 60s-70s series before most of the later adaptations lower Fred’s intelligence to varying degrees. It can be generally agreed upon that Velma has a lot of book smarts and proven theories, while Fred leans more towards understanding engineering and mechanics (to an extent, seeing how his traps usually work out).

Snarky x Sweet. Honestly? Both have their moments.

Headcanon Reasons not necessarily in order

Warning: ranting involved.

Grumpy Cat x Golden Retriever energy.

“Excuse me , he asked for NO pickles.”

Gremlin Fighter x Giant Softie

“I connected the dots!” “You didn’t connect squat.” “I connected them!” I do not ship Ryan and Shane together, I just feel like this dialogue could fit Frelma.

Nerdy Loser Dork x “Dumb” Popular “Jock”/Girboss x Himbo/ Brains x Brawn. Explanation provided below. ⬇️

*DEEP BREATH*

I am not interested in watching HBOMax’s VELMA for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to:

1) Copying and Pasting the format for the Harley Quinn series, which is also a black comedy/satire with mindless violence, constant swearing, and inappropriate depictions of adult content (as you can probably tell, I do not like the premise of, nor will watch, that series either. If any of you do like either of those series, that is okay; go ahead and enjoy.)

2) The interpretation of the Scooby without the Scooby Gang’s personalities (Their adaptational races and social statuses are fine.) is superficial at best and insulting at worst.

That being said, from what little I heard about what happens in VELMA, there could have been a cute dynamic between Velma and Fred. Unfortunately, neither of the characters seemed very likable based on what the creators said and how the Scooby fandom reacted. This artist best portrayed what Velma and Fred’s chemistry COULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE in these videos:

Credits to Jamie De Jonge.

Do you see what we Frelmas could have had???

The Gunn live action films aren’t that much better frantically dodges bullets but there are more moments shown between Fred and Velma that despite some occasional bickering, Fred is wowed by Velma’s intelligence while Velma admires Fred’s confidence. I think as a younger kid, I was actually expecting them to end up together despite being a Fraphne shipper at the time because of their chemistry whenever they shared screentime.

Honestly? In the ending, the Fraphne kiss was a lot less satisfying to me than the moment when Fred steps down from the spotlight and directs it to Velma so she could finally get the credit and recognition she deserved in solving the mysteries and catching the villain.

I hope this was a mostly? coherent answer, @light-miracles ! Thanks for the question!!!

[carnal-lnstinct]

now that @emmacornell​ and @blue-wristbands​ have officially turned me into a raditz simp 👀, i gotta say it feels empty to learn Bardock’s tale in two different stories and know both of his sons don’t get to be worth his sacrifices 

like bruh how goku spare vegeta but let piccolo kill raditz and him like both fights ain’t push him to his limits and one of them is...was his living and breathing relative. 

one came to check on him, the other literally came to steal dragon balls and his comrade got majority of his friends killed AND is crueler than the former /end rose tinted glasses

how the gd androids who killed the same people PLUS vegeta in another timeline get redeemed but not raditz like they weren’t about to catch the same bodies in the main timeline along with cell

yes i love all these characters and their redemptions and enemies to friends/found family shit but where is raditz’s?!

[akakeiiji]

HI!~ (THIS IS MY FIRST TINE REQUESTING AND IM REALLY EXCITED) Can I request a scenario where their smol s/o (I'm like 155 or 5'1 for reference) gets easily lost? Like they just wonder off on their own cause they think that he's still with them and she tends to leave her phone with him so calling to find her is out of the question??? (Me honestly IM SORRY FRIENDS AND FAMILY) She likes a lot of things so sometimes its hard to find her cause they never know where she is? Ushi, Tsuki and Bokuto-🌼

-`,✎ Ushijima, Tsukishima and Bokuto losing their short S/O in a crowd

THIS REQUEST IS JUST TOO ADORABLE AND IT HITS SO CLOSE TO HOME!! We’re the same height nonnie 🤧🤧✋ Short gang, where ya’ll at? 

Also I apparently don’t know how to read because I thought you requested for headcanons at first despite you clearly asking for scenarios so I decided to keep the hcs since I was already halfway done with them~ hope you don’t mind, nonnie! 

The man is literally built like the empire state building, he just towers over everyone, it’s insane

And then there you are behind him, all tiny and stuff, it’s so friggin adorable

He doesn’t really notice your height difference at all

Whenever people point it out, he just cocks his head with his eyebrows furrowed and is like “Yeah, I’m tall?? And they’re short?? Why are you reacting like that?”

He’s genuinely confused and doesn’t see why it’s a big deal at all

When he looks at you he doesn’t really pick up on itty bitty details like your height and stature; he just sees you for the whole you and sees you simply as this perfect deity that he loves

But he does appreciate the perks that come with it such as the way you feel when he hugs you after a match or the way you look up at him so adorably when you’re trying to get a kiss

He also didn’t realize the cons that came with having a tiny s/o

There are many but we’re focusing on the fact that it’s so easy to lose you in a crowd

He’ll literally look away for 0.5 seconds and when he looks back at you, you’re suddenly gone

He probably won’t notice for a bit but after a while, he’ll wonder why you aren’t holding onto his sleeve or hand anymore

Whenever this happens he usually goes about it in two ways; he’d either stay still where he is and let you find him (which isn’t hard, he sticks out like a sore thumb) or if enough time passes, he’ll retrace his steps and look for you himself

He’ll have a tiny little frown on his face since he gets so worried about you, like you’re so tiny what if you get trampled??

When he does find you though, the wide smile on your face when you catch sight of him honestly makes the search worth it

can you tell that I miss ushi so friggin much

The streets in downtown Tokyo are always so packed at this time of day. There were hundreds of people rushing to and from work, tourists taking in the sights, and busy shoppers such as yourself and Ushijima; you two had just finished shopping together and were heading to your favorite restaurant in the area as you always do to end your date night.

Your hand remained tightly wrapped around the hem of your boyfriend’s coat as you two made your way down the busy streets, struggling to not get pulled away as people continued to mercilessly push past you. You would have much rather held Ushijima’s hand but he insisted on carrying all your shopping bags and was rather preoccupied with them at that moment.

He marched on, oblivious to your struggles behind him. It was during times like this when you hated how short your legs were, you were practically jogging to keep up with your boyfriend who, to him, was only going at a leisurely pace.

Before you knew it, your hand had loosened and you suddenly lost hold of his coat. You looked up, hoping to find him just a few feet away, but he had disappeared into the sea of people all around you.

Ushijima hadn’t noticed anything at first, he was too focused on where he was going to realize that the little tugs on the hem of his coat throughout the journey were suddenly gone. He looked down at both his hands and placed the shopping bags on one of them to the other so that he could use it to hold your own.

He held out his free hand behind him, calling out your name, and motioned for you to grab it. A few seconds went by of him gesturing like this only to be met with no response.

He looked back, eyebrows furrowed, only to find no sign of you.

Ushijima immediately stops in his tracks, eyes widening ever so slightly as he did a little 360 turn in his spot, raking over the crowds rushing past him in hopes he’d find your familiar head of hair bouncing about.

He stood motionless where he was, forcing people to walk around him—most wanted to tell him off for standing in the middle of the street but no one had the balls to.

A few minutes went by and he began walking down the direction he came from looking everywhere for you. Worry began to bubble in him when you were still nowhere to be found but suddenly he saw a figure waving at him from afar.

You were standing on top of those small cement blocks on the bottom street lights, waving your free hand that wasn’t wrapped around the lamp towards your boyfriend, grinning ear to ear when you met eyes with him.

Ushijima smiled in relief, shoulders relaxing as he made his way over to you. You met him halfway, immediately wrapping your arms around him in a hug, burying your face into his chest.

“I’m never letting go of your hand next time.” He said, pressing a chaste kiss on the top of your head before interlocking your fingers together. You laughed, nodding in agreement. “Definitely not.”

We all already know this: Kei is fucking ruthless

It doesn’t matter that you’re dating. It doesn’t matter that you’re literally his favorite person in the world tho he’ll never admit this to you you will not be free from his savageness

No one is more hyper-aware of your height difference than he is and no one teases you more than him

Tsukishima is literally the type to steal your things and hold them over your head or he’ll purposefully stand at full height whenever you want to kiss him just so that he can watch you struggle

“Oh, babe, I didn’t see you from down there.”

Is the type to purposefully put things you use all the time up on the top shelves in cupboards and cabinets

He says that he does this to annoy but really he does this so that you can call him to help you since he banned you from climbing the counters 🤧✋

He really loves your height though as much as he likes to tease you for it

He loves how easy it is to wrap his arms around you and how you burrow into his chest whenever you hug

His favorite thing about your height is probably the fact that it’s so comfortable being the big spoon with you since you fit so snuggly against him 🥺

again he’ll never tell you this, my man is tight-lipped

However he can get very protective over you, it’s like he developed this idea in this head that small = fragile

So whenever he loses track of you in a crowd (which happens a lot, it's honestly embarrassing) he immediately drops everything and searches for you

He’ll have this permanent pout on his face as he retraces his steps, going back to wherever you two were and keeping an eye out for either you or places that would catch your eye

Once he finally catches you, he’d sigh in relief and immediately put up his “i’m annoyed right now, give me attention” face and head over to you, knocking your head with his knuckles lightly

He’d lecture you a bit about staying close to him and he’d spend the rest of your time out with his eye on you and with his hand tightly wrapped around your own

The mall was always so crowded during the weekend especially now that Christmas was just around the corner. Tsukishima told you that you two should visit the mall later during the week but you were just so excited to see this new movie, he simply couldn’t say no; he cursed himself for being so tightly wrapped around your finger.

The building was already pretty full when you two entered the cinema but when you two emerged, it was as if the number of people there seemed to double in just a span of a few hours.

As you two made your way through the tight-knit crowds of people, the frown on Tsukishima’s face never left as people kept pushing and rushing past him. He called out your name behind him and said, “See, I told you we should have come after the weekend, it’s like half the city is here right now.”

He waited for your usual giggle or scoff, maybe a light smack on his arm as you tell him to brighten up but there wasn’t any of that.

“(Y/N)? Did you hear me? I—(Y/N?),” He turned around, worried that you may have been upset at him but instead was surprised to find that you weren’t trailing along behind him like he expected you to be.

He turned around fully, hands coming out of his pocket as he raked his eyes over the crowds of people around him. It would be nearly impossible to find you here, there were probably hundreds of people in the mall now.

Tsukishima groaned slightly as he ran a hand through his locks, his other hand going into his pant pocket to ring your phone only to realize that it was with him as well, right next to his. This elicited a second groan from the blonde.

Knowing you, you probably got distracted by something and wandered away from him.

He retraced his steps, keeping a close eye on his surroundings. He had no idea when you wandered away from him so you could have been anywhere. He stood at full height, towering over the majority of the crowd, and scanned the entirety of the floor and the shops on it.

He entered a few stores he knew you’d most likely visit; the bookstore, the pet store, and a shop that was having a 50% sale but he found no traces of you.

Tsukishima was about to give up and head to the information desk and ask them to announce something on the loudspeaker to grab your attention—probably something along the lines of “To the small gremlin wandering around floor three right now, please meet Tsukishima Kei at the main exit.”—when he spotted a bright store on the other side of the floor.

You were there. He just knew it.

He rolled his eyes as he made his way to the anime store and low and behold, there you were, crouching as you stared at the shelves of anime merchandise, a wide ear to ear grin on your face.

Tsukishima sighed and lightly smacked you, tearing you away from your thoughts and making you look up at him in shock.

“You are such an idiot, (Y/N).” You only laughed in response and wrapped your arms around his waist and pressed your face onto his chest. “Aww, Kei! Were you worried about me?”

“Of course, I was. How do you expect me to feel?” He said with another roll of his eyes. He brought his hand up and placed it on top of your head. “I was worried someone thought you were a child and kidnapped you.”

You let out an indignant gasp and started to smack him but he only laughed and took your hand in his, dragging you out of the store behind him ignoring your protests.

Nobody in the whole entire world thinks you’re more adorable than Bokuto

He adores the fact that you’re so tiny, he likes you call you his pocket-sized s/o  

He never really teases you, instead he always coos and coddles you

He especially loves lifting you up in his arms and twirling you around, he always does this after winning a game and it always leaves you feeling dizzy

But you never complain bc who would complain about being hugged by Kou like that 🤧✋

However, as much as Bokuto loves how smol you are, he always kinda forgets that you’re short??

It’s because he’s always surrounded by tall people; his friends, the volleyball team, etc.

So he always forgets to adjust when he’s with you

And you know how some people just naturally walk really really fast, like they can’t help it, it’s just how they walk normally??

Yeah, that’s Bokuto

And this paired with the fact that he is literally 6’1 means he practically travels at light speed

Your tiny legs can barely keep up with your excitable boyfriend and you’re always practically jogging to keep up with him so if you take your eyes off of him for even just a few seconds he’ll probably run off somewhere and disappear 😔✋

This occurs so often when you two are out that you’re never shocked whenever it happens

It takes a few minutes before Bokuto realizes that he’s suddenly alone in a crowd and that you aren’t beside him like he thought you would be

AND IM SORRY BUT THE FIRST THING HE’LL DO IS JUST YELL OUT YOUR NAME REPEATEDLY AT FULL VOLUME WITH NO SHAME WHATSOEVER

“(Y/N)!! WHERE ARE YOU??”

Everyone around him would give him looks but he wouldn’t care, he just needs to find you fast or he’ll start panicking tho he lowkey already is

Some people would think that he’s looking for his kid but nah, he’s just looking for his smol s/o who would show up beside him after a while with a disgruntled look on their face

It never takes long for you two to reunite when you get separated, you just have to wait for the distinctive voice of your boyfriend yelling for you somewhere

When you two find each other, the first thing he’ll do is pull you into a tight hug, usually lifting you up from the ground as he presses a few kisses on your cheeks in relief

He’ll remember to walk slowly for the rest of the time you’re out, usually with his arm over your shoulder or with his hand tightly wrapped around your own

It made absolutely no sense to you that Bokuto literally grew up in the city yet has never visited the amusement park in the area before. You’ve visited the park countless times before but for your boyfriend, it was a first.

Bokuto was practically bouncing with excitement ever since you proposed the idea of visiting the amusement park together and it only got more intense as the day of your visit grew closer and closer.

You somewhat regretted not pushing your date to a later day in the week so that it didn’t fall on the weekend since the park was so packed but that feeling quickly dissipated when you glanced at your beaming boyfriend beside you.

What you did regret however was the fact that you didn’t wear more comfortable shoes, ones that were more fitting for exercise rather than leisurely walks since you were practically running around the park just to keep up with Bokuto.

His hand remained tightly clasped on your own as he sprinted all around the park, looking at all the rides, food stands, and gift shops around the place. He wasn’t really running, he was simply walking at a quick pace but this coupled with his long legs made it so difficult to match his pace with your significantly shorter ones.

You two had just gotten off a rather intense roller coaster and you felt your head spin from how dizzy it made you, you halted in your steps as Bokuto was about to begin running towards another ride making Bokuto stop as well as he was pulled back by your hand which was still holding onto his.

“Koutarou, let me rest for a bit,” You said as you sat on a bench in the shade, Bokuto immediately nodded and took a seat beside you, he handed you a bottle of water from his bag. “Sure babe, here drink this.”

After a few minutes of talking and resting under the shade, you stood up, reinvigorated, and filled with more energy. “Okay, let’s go, I’m feeling much better now,”

Bokuto immediately jumped onto his feet and beamed at you, more than ready for another round of rollercoasters and thrilling rides. He held out his hand for you to take and you two headed farther into the park.

“Let’s go on the Viking ride next—wait, hold on, let me fix this.” You let go of your boyfriend’s hand and began adjusting the overpriced headband on your head; Bokuto insisted on buying matching ones at the gift shop despite their ridiculous price (“Look, it’s just so adorable!”)

When you looked up, ready to grab ahold of his hand again, Bokuto was suddenly nowhere to be seen.

You whipped your head all around you but you couldn’t see the familiar head of hair of your boyfriend in the horde of people around you. You stood on your tiptoes, craning your head to get a better view but that didn’t do anything to help. You feel back on your feet and huffed; curse you and your short stature.

You walked down the direction you two were originally headed at, raking your eyes over the crowds of people you walked past when you suddenly heard a familiar voice yelling out your name from a distance. You whipped your head towards the direction of the voice and began to jog towards it.

Bokuto was standing on his tiptoes, his hands cupping his mouth as he called out for you over and over again, oblivious to the looks of shock from the people around him.

As he was about to scream out your name for the dozenth time, you suddenly pushed your way through the people around him and grabbed ahold of his arm, an exasperated yet also relieved look on your face.

Bokuto’s face immediately lit up, the small frown on his lips turning into a large smile as he wrapped his arms around you. He pressed you into his chest and lifted you off the ground as he usually does when he hugs you.

You giggled and flailed around as he did this, when he placed you back safely on the ground, he placed a small kiss on your forehead.

“Sorry for leaving you behind,” Bokuto said as he laced his fingers onto your own, “It won’t happen again,”

You scoffed playfully and let yourself be dragged along by him, “That’s what you said last time, Kou.”

hiii could you write sth similar to your last post, but James (we all know he's strong from quidditch and ripped) dating a smol girl? like super careful and soft for her? thank you love :)

of course babe! i am but a small 5’3 so i can relate. thank you for the request sweet nony <3

masterlist

- okay so we all know james is a swol guy

- and if he was with a girl that was smol

- ugh be still my heart

- james is naturally a big dork

- and having a little cutie pie girlfriend would make him a tad bit dorkier

- he would most definitely give you nicknames related to your height

- short stack, minnie, gremlin, you name it

- which is always met with a swift elbow to the rib

“surprised you can reach em”

- when he kisses you he always cups your cheeks with the most delicate hands in the world

- and he always complains about having to lean down to kiss you, but he secretly loves it

- if he’s ever frustrated at someone or something, just seeing you causes his body to loosen up

- you can physically see the relief you give him just with your presence

- but if he’s ‘after quidditch frustrated’

- oh boy

- picks you up and throws you on his bed

“james what are you–”

- would not let you ask

- would definitely shut you up with kisses

- i’m getting sidetracked i love this boy so much

- he definitely has you sit in his lap at all times

- besides class

- sometimes

- his favorite thing in the entire world is hugging you from behind

- he adores wrapping his arms around your neck and placing his chin on your head

- also loved how when he hugs you, you place little kisses along his collar bones

- gets weak at the knees, let me tell you

- when he’s talking, he would most definitely do the thing where he voice softens drastically when he talks to you

- and sirius gives him absolute hell for it

- but he doesn’t care

- cause you’re so cute and small and you derverve it by godric

- a direct quote from james

- the cutest thing ever to him is when you come into his room at night with a blanket wrapped around you because you can’t sleep

- he absolutely melts

- and definitely has you sleep on top of him

- like completely

- you tried to protest the first time but he was not having it

- arguing with james is like arguing with a stick

- when you wear his clothes

- oh boy

- the first time you wore his jumper he fell in love

- right then and there

- you were cold in hogsmeade and he forced you to wear it and the sleeves were way too long and it went to your mid thigh

- and james quickly made sure you had some of his clothes on at all times

- he gets genuinely offended when you don’t wear them

- piggy back rides to class?

- i think yes

- james is a pretty buff guy

- and you like to appreciate that

- and when he catches you staring at him

- his ego grows 3 sizes, which you would think is impossible

- you honestly make him a lot more confident

- he would most definitely make you sit in front of him when you go for broom rides

- so he can wrap his arms around you

- james would love his small girlfriend more than life

- i want a james potter so bad ugh

Itachi is loyal to the Akatsuki (despite he’s said to be a spy) and here’s why:

We know Itachi joined the Akatsuki to spy and sneak the informations back to Konoha, right? But let’s ask yourself this question:

“How much informations has been sent back to Konoha so far by Itachi???”

And after many researches, the answer is “NONE”

First, Itachi, as a fellow Akatsuki member, must know tons of info about his comrades power (Hidan’s and Kakuzu’s immortality, Deidara’s art...) and he could have sneak those infos to Konoha but no , he didn’t, proved by the fact that whenever a team of Konoha faced a brand-new pair of Akatsuki, they just showed their “WTF” face through out the entire encounter, and usually took many more fights to work out the power of said Akatsuki pair.

Second, and this is also the most important piece of information that Itachi knows about the Akatsuki , is Pain’s/Nagato’s power. Itachi is an Uchiha so he must recognize a pair of The Rinnegan when he sees one (he’s an Uchiha, duh, they have a real piece of stone in their basement that talks about The Rinnegan). We don’t know how much Itachi knows about the Rinnegan (probably not to an extent that he could work out the secrets behind The Six Paths of Pain), but he must know one or two things about the eyes. But the point is

“Itachi keeps the secret to himself and not sharing it to Konoha”

This info about the Rinnegan , if shared, could actually save Jiraiya’s life. Itachi just need to say “hey , our Leader has The Rinnegan , which is super powerful, so be careful” and Jiraiya will know exactly who the Leader is, and how he should approach the fight against Pain/Nagto. But, no, Itachi didn’t reveal any shit to any one, coz HE’S LOYAL.

There’s also a few more small facts like Itachi taking part in stalling the Konoha’s shinobi to finish the One-Tail sealing or giving advices on how the Akatsuki should take actions (he said it when Kisame successfully captured the Four-Tails in chapter 353).

And that’s my opinion, please share me yours, would like to know.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YES

THANK YOU

ive been waiting for an opportunity to rant, buckle up bitches here we go

first of all itachis loyality lays with sasuke not with konoha and you can fight me on that he may have killed the clan for konoha but as far as we know he could have just ghosted them afterwards 

i like to think he just told them the biggest bullshit like: “yeah you see there is that smol gremlin whose superpower is annoying ppl into submission, he calls it katsu but if you ever hear him say that just stand still and cover your ears and you are definitely safe” or “there is the huge blue guy, you cant miss him, he actually just looks like that cause he fucked up when he dyed his hair that one time and now he just kinda vibes with the shark aesthetic but dont worry about sharks, there arent any”

cause konoha didnt know jackshit when they came, i am especially fond of the fight against the zombie combie cause they were so fucking clueless  “oh no what is he doing with that circle? why doesnt he die? what does he do with the blood? who is the big guy?”

and the fact that kakashi had to tell them “oh yes thats the guy that tried killing the first hokage that we maybe should have recognized cause its a powerful enemy who tried killing our first hokage, oh wait why is he with the akatsuki?” is sending me every time like itachi saw him and was like: “should i tell them that powerful guy that could really fuck them over is still alive and a member of akatsuki?...........nah”

we can safely assume itachi didnt tell them shit and i love it

and what you said about pein is true too, i didnt even think about that yet its the fucking rinnegan, he saw them and didnt think that the fact that the leader has the most powerful eyes in the history of his clan was important for konoha to know? pls

that just adds to my wishful thinking that the akatsuki did like each other and were all loyal

Ichi Crushes a Child

Ichi was sleeping soundly in the morning, nothing to do today so plenty of extra hours they could sleep in. They let out a small breath and smiled in their sleep peacefully. 

*Bang* 

*Bang*

*Bang*

Ichi’s eyes shot open at the sudden crashing sound of pots being banged against each other. “She’s here.” Ichi grumbled getting out of bed ready to murder a child.

The annoyed Chara marched through the hall to the kitchen to find her, they knew it had to be Glitter, no one else would be foolish enough to wake them this early in the morning so abruptly. “Glitter!” They yelled turning into the kitchen.

Ichi looked through the kitchen not spotting anyone, but a floating ladle near where the pans hung caught their attention. They watched it start banging on the pots creating the crashing sound again. Their anger was turning into curiosity at the self moving and misbehaving kitchenware. 

“Hello?” Ichi called out as they approached the ladle. After getting close they realized it wasn’t moving by itself, a tiny person was holding it. “I remember you being small, but not bug sized.”

“Hey! I’m not a bug!” Smol Glitter squeaked back angrily. 

Ichi reached over and picked up the tiny Glitter between their fingers. “Could have fooled me.” They remarked about her size again. “And stop banging on those pots already.”

“I had to wake you. Now make us some breakfast.” Glitter demanded. 

They had originally intended on punishing Glitter for waking them, but Ichi’s anger had faded by the time they found this different and tinier Glitter. Instead Ichi cooked them both up some eggs and bacon to eat.

The pair now sat on the couch watching a show as they ate their breakfast. Things were peaceful again before Ichi’s phone suddenly started blowing up with notifications. 

“Why is everyone texting me all at once?” Ichi asked aloud picking up their phone. “What the hell?” 

Ichi scrolled through half a dozen contacts sending angry messages for what Ichi had apparently said to them. It didn’t make any sense until Glitter spoke up.

“It’s probably all the girls in your phone.” The tiny child said after swallowing a bite of bacon.

Ichi gave a quick scroll and realized it was every girl, datefriend, and crush in their phone sending the angry texts. “What did you do?” They asked getting angry again.

“I told them all to get lost and never talk to you again.” Glitter answered.

“You what?!”

“You’re my bro bro, you don’t need to be hanging out with other girls that just want to give you kisses and cuddles.” Glitter said eating her breakfast not paying attention to the raised fist looming above her.

Ichi was about to smash the tiny child before their phone went off again with a text from Asriel. “Wait, Asriel’s thanking me?” They said aloud confused.

“I sent Asriel and Muffin kind messages since I know you forget to say how much you care about them.”

Ichi’s anger was starting to fade again. They really were bad at expressing feelings, so Glitter doing it for them was kind of a big favor. Ichi opened their fist and picked up Glitter instead of smashing her. “Let’s go wash these wishes and then play a game.”

“Hide and seek!” Glitter suggested as Ichi carried her back to the kitchen to clean up before their game.

“Ready or not, here I come.” Ichi announced after finishing their counting and went off to find the tiny Glitter. She definitely had the advantage given her size, but it wasn’t as though there were unlimited hiding spots in the house, just more she could utilize with her tiny size.

Ichi looked under pillows, furniture, beds, inside of drawers and dressers; but they couldn’t find Glitter anywhere. The only places left would be inside the walls or under the floorboards at this point, but there were no easily accessible places like that, except where they hid their chocolate.

“Oh she better not be!” Ichi said in a serious tone returning to their bedroom to move their dresser and lift up the floorboard to check on their candy stash. 

After scooting the dresser aside Ichi could see the floorboard already removed, inside was Glitter eating their stash of candy. An angry Ichi raised their foot ready to crush Glitter and the empty wrapper remains of their candy stash, but to their surprise Glitter turned around and handed a candybar to Ichi.

“I saved you the chocolate since I know you like it best.” Glitter smiled, unaware Ichi was about to smash them to bits.

“Oh.” Ichi responded surprised and lowered their foot back down to the floor away from Glitter. Looking past the tiny gremlin Ichi did notice she exclusively ate the candy they didn’t really care for, saving every piece of chocolate for them. “Thanks.” Ichi said taking the chocolate candybar. 

“And you found me too.” Glitter congratulated Ichi on winning and put her arms in the air to indicate to Ichi permission to lift them.

The previously vengeful giant gently lifted Glitter out of the hiding spot and set her on their shoulder while they put the board back and scooted the dresser back over it. “I guess a new game now?”

“Let’s play a board game!” Glitter suggested.

Ichi and smol Glitter played games until it was becoming evening, Glitter unknowingly building up in Ichi the urge to crush her every time she beat them and did her dumb little victory dance to taunt them. Luckily for Glitter she lost as many times as Ichi did depending on the game, so like the previous times throughout the day Ichi was able to hold back from crushing the poor girl.

As the most recent game was being put away a new text was received, this time from Sour Patches. She must have been late seeing the breakup text Glitter had sent all the date friends earlier and Ichi expected a hateful response like from everyone else, but instead it read like a return of affection? 

“That’s weird?”

“What is?” Glitter asked from below Ichi on the floor.

“Every other date friend sent me hateful replies to what you sent them, but SP has the same feelings for me back she says?” Ichi summarized the reply for Glitter.

“Oh I sent her a love confession.” 

“What?! Why!” Ichi demanded.

“Well you keep telling everyone you don’t like her already, so I couldn’t just send her that kind of message like I sent all the others, so I just did the opposite and told her you like her.” Glitter answered. 

Dead silence. Ichi had finally snapped after everything they had forgiven the tiny Glitter for today, but confessing to SP on their behalf was too far. They looked down at Glitter and gave her a smile that sent a shifter down her spine. “We need a new game right?”

“We don’t have to, I could just go home.” Glitter very awkwardly responded fearing that smile.

“I insist, one more game.” Ichi said raising their foot high in the air. “Let’s play crush the bug.”

“I don’t like this game!” Glitter screamed as Ichi chased her tiny form through the house, each stomp of Ichi’s foot landing closer and closer to her before *squish*  ____________________________________________

@girl-in-a-hoodie1 @channydraws 

There, I finished it. Y’all are terrible for requesting this.

[littlemessyjessi]

Oooh OH OH Valentina sounds so great!! I’m so happy that you’re happy :’)

Is there anything you can (or want, it goes without question that you don’t have to) to tell us about her!

Ooooh! Of course! Any chance to talk about my baby! Even if it embarasses her when I gush but I don’t care because she’s a goddess and I’m very lucky to have her.

She is great btw.  An angel.  A gift. Love my life and enabler of my snack addition. 

So yeah! 

Valentina, or Val, is my lovely boo of quite some time now.  We actually met because she wanted a tarot reading and booked an appointment.  Well, actually that’s a lie.  We met once at roller derby.  I was skating and being a little gremlin and she was in the crowd.  I got one look at her and promptly plowed into the siding and then crashed on my face. 

But sadly she’d been dating someone at the time and truthfully so was I. 

So we didn’t talk about for quite some time.  But THEN she heard that I did witchcraft and art professionally and booked an appointment.  We did her reading and then later she calls me up and she was like, I just really enjoyed talking to you and I didn’t know if you were doing anything.   I was like, it’s cool what’s up? 

And she was like, you wanna watch a movie together? And it was like eleven at night and I had my bonnet on and I didn’t plan on leaving the house. So we legit pulled up Coming to America on Amazon Prime and watched it together over video chat.  

Which, by the way, have you watched the sequel ?   Highly entertaining lol. A little silly in parts but it’s Eddie Murphy.  It’s to be expected. 

Anyway, we clicked and we’ve been inseperable ever since. 

So let’s talk Val.  Well, she’s Cuban and she’s very proud of this. 

My stomach is very proud of this as well because she feeds me well. 

She is fucking brilliant.  Absolutely marvelously clever.  

She loves her job and I love that she loves her job.   

She works in architecture and I salivate at her blue prints and then watching her sketch out her visions.  I fucking die.  I’d share some if it weren’t for the fact she designs for people’s home and that’s kind of an infringement of privacy and we can’t really do that.  I’ll ask if I can show some of her sketch books maybe though.   Idk.

Let’s see she is a Taurus and true to being a Taurus in a lot of ways.  My high strung Cancer ass will freak out but she can bring me back down to reality really easily.  

She’s beautiful.  So beautiful.   She used to have super long dark hair but she recently did the big chop so she could donate it.  We’ve bleached it and hopefully are dying it lavender in a couple of days.  Which I think will look lovely with her big beautiful brown eyes and her sweet caramel skin.   Also, great with her cheekbones and her gloriously chubby cheeks and her perfect little double chin.  Ugh, she’s an angel, I tell you.    

I’d show you a picture but I never post pics of myself just due to my job (outside of pro witch and artist) and she feels about the same.  It’s just a personal thing I reckon.  

Let’s see, she loves to swim but is deathly afraid of jellyfish for some reason.   She thinks mice are cute but if one runs in front of her she will jump on the table. 

Her favorite color is purple but she secretly has an obsession with orange for some reason.  I think she has a ginger kink b/c of my hair lol. 

She is really chill most of the time but good lord it’s a long fuse on a big bomb if you ever piss her off.  Fiercely protective.   

She is tol bean.  I am smol bean.  She calls me Tiny.  I resent this. 

She picks me.  I resent this..... although secretly convenient when I pass out and she carries me to bed.   My back thanks her for not letting me sleep upside down on the couch when I sugar crash.   

She loves bubble baths more than anything on earth. Her favorite scent is blackberry so I constantly scour the etsy for anything blackberry scented. 

She still uses that violet baby cologne that her grandmother used on her when she was a baby.   She claims if we ever produce that our spawn will have it to. 

I don’t argue because i know better. 

I could go on and on because I love her so much.  I can’t wait to marry her.  We’re trying to wait until the rona situation is a little better for the wedding but we don’t want a big one anyway.  So who knows?   

I don’t really care what we do as long as i get to spend the rest of my life with her.  

We can get married in a trash can for all I care. 

Anyway, that’s just a peek at my Val. 

I hope you liked it. 

Also, Val if you see this, I know you ate the last oreo.  I forgive you but I just want you to know that I know it was you.   My godson doesn’t have any teeth yet, babe.   Try again. 

Also, I’m sorry about the hyperactive rant earlier and drinking all the kool aid.  I’ll make more and I get you a Reese’s later, my love.  

=====

Anyway, thanks for asking that question.  I’ll always gush about my boo. 

All my love, 

Kenny

The Petite Prince: How to Make a Paper Crown

Summary: Roman is a child, Remus loves his baby bro and they go have fun in the Dark Imagination.

Chapter 1 (for some context)

Words: 915

Ships: Familial Creativitwins

Genre: Fluff with a side dose of angst

Warnings: A few swears, falling, tell me if there’s any more!

Taglist: @pricklyfish777 @sunflowerblondeuwu @itriedandimtired @draw-your-perfect-world @cemmy @battlebunnyteardropsinthesun @nonbinary-lizard-2 @fanforeveruniverse

Note: This takes place during chapter 3, when Ro and Re go to the Dark Imagination.

___________________________

“Oh it. Is. On!”

Remus launched a ball of water at the little prince, laughing hysterically.

“Hey!” the smol one shouted, leaning back to try avoid getting wet. Well, wetter.

The trash gremlin cackled.

“Catch me if you can!”

Roman launched himself forward and chased after the now running Remus, his face screwing up in concentration as he summoned a bucket of water.

The Duke laughed loudly before seeing the bucket.

Well shit.

And in a shocking feat of power, the petite prince twisted his hands in a complicated motion, causing the water from the bucket to hurtle forward in a spiralling wave and onto Remus.

And his eyes were glowing?

That… Did his eyes always do that?

Whatever.

“AhHhHhHhHhH! NoOoOoOoOo! NOT CLEANLINESS!” Remus screeched.

“Haha! Yes cle- yes clean-cleanli-li-ness…yes clen-lee-ness!”

The small royal grinned proudly, brandishing a sword made of water. Roman didn’t seem to be aware that he had summoned it.

“Fine! FINE! You win…”

Roman whooped and jumped up and down.

“I win! I win! I nev- I never win!”

What?

Remus raised his brow.

“What about all the dragons big you beat? Doesn’t that count as winning?”

The smol one bounced around happily, the water sword dripping onto his arm.

“I know! But in th- but in things with other sides!”

That’s concerning- did he just wince?

Oh wait! Didn’t he fall down the stairs?

“Hey RoBro, are you okay?”

“No.”

The response was very chipper for the answer he had just given.

“Is anything broken?”

“No.”

“Twisted?”

“I don’t thin’ so.”

“Sore?”

Aha! A hesitation.

“No…”

Remus inwardly grinned at his small victory.

“Don’t lie!”

“Am not!”

“Are too!”

“Am not!”

“You so are! Here, I’ll make you a deal. You let me fix the soreness, and we go play in the Imagination!”

The smol one paused, seeming to consider the offer.

“The Dark one, an’ its- an’ it’s a deal!”

He was a little hesitant to agree at first, but anything was better than a pained little prince. Even the ruination of childhood innocence.

“Sure! Now where does it hurt?”

“Here.”

___________________________

Roman huffed as Remus bandaged his ankle.

He knew it was part of the deal, but Big him never liked to seem weak, so neither did he! At least he was going to see the Dark Imagination.

The Dark Imagination!

Roman beamed, trying his best not to bounce around as ReeRee fixed him up. A golden light shone on to the prince’s face.

Where’d the light come from?

Where’d it go?

“All done!”

Roman looked down to see his ankle wrapped up in bright red bandages.

“Le’s go!”

______________________

Remus knew that he had done a sloppy job of bandaging the smol ones ankle, but he was the Duke, being helpful wasn’t exactly his forte.

“You ready, little prince?”

“Yeah!”

“Off we go!”

Remus scooped up the little prince (in his tentacles, of course) and sank down into the Dark Imagination.

“Woah…”

He looked down to see the smol one climbing out of his tentacles and gazing (his eyes were still glowing, should he be concerned?) around the forest in awe. And, to be fair, it was pretty impressive.

The murky green leaves covering the trees swayed in the subtle wind, the whole forest shrouded in darkness, its only light source being its fluorescent plants and lakes. The creatures of the forest hid in the face of Remus, only their hungry eyes following the small princes every move.

Then, Roman laughed.

_________________________

The petite prince pranced around and laughed and laughed and laughed. It was all so amazing!

Roman saw all of the bright, colorful plants and all of the cool, hidden creatures.

He could hear all of it!

The rushing water of some far off rivers.

The rusting of leaves on the trees.

The buzzing of a small animals wings-

Oh look! A thing! A flying thing!

The small royal squealed in joy, running around on as many surfaces as he could, attempting to see some more little things.

Its. So. COOL!

The young monarch was so delighted by everything that he didn’t notice Remus twisting his wrist, making the roots and trees move and grow in unnatural ways to provide a safer passage for the prince. And the growling, it was as though the Duke was asserting dominance.

But of course, Roman didn’t notice any of this.

The two travelled deeper within the forest, with the three (now four) year old attempting, and succeeding, to climb the trees.

“Young knight!” Remus screeched, “I challenge you to a duel!”

Roman gasped, affronted, then grinned.

“I acc-I accept!”

_________________

And so, the two brothers with their small wooden swords battled it out.

“No! You have the high ground!” Remus cried, watching as Roman scrambled up a tree. Again.

“Yah!”

The little prince then yeeted his sword at Remus.

It hit him right in the chest.

It was honestly very impressive, the amount of skill the small royal had, though it was quite annoying for the rat man.

“I win!”

Remus smiled, then let his head drop.

“Yes, yes you did.”

Roman squealed.

“I suppose you must be crowned the winner, then.” Remus said, summoning a small paper crown.

The smol one jumped up on his branch and twirled excitedly, a golden light emanating from… somewhere… making him look like an actual Disney prince.

And then he slipped.

Remus lunged forward, catching the small figure before he could break his other ankle.

“I hereby dub thee Prince Roman ‘Creativity’ Sanders!” the trash man said, gently placing the crown on the giggling sides head.

“Yay! Again!”

And so they battled again, and again, until they got tired and a plan began formulating in Remus’s head. 

Logan and Virgil were coming, might as well make the most of it!

For the trope meme: characters find fanfic of themselves.

RIGHT! :D

I’ve been saving this ask because it’s awesome and I wanted to devote full attention to it…

Warning, discussion of RPF and bad tropes, fandom stereotyping and squicks. If it seems like I know too much about band-based RPF it’s because I used to write Libertines RPF. There we go. You can all shun and unfollow me now…

Sorry, it got long.

So yep. In the Band AU universe, there is definitely RPF for Lymond and all his associates. It’s inevitable, really, from the kids fanning over their ‘zines and the letters to the Melody Maker about the dreams they’ve had and the Significant Looks they’ve identified in music videos and live performances, to the Usenet gremlins with their 200k slowburn enemies to lovers Lost Boys AU BDSM Gabriel/Francis fics (hey, not a judgement, I’d read it).

As has always been the way, interviewers will try and gross out their interviewees and shame fans by asking them about this stuff. And though the term ‘squick’ wasn’t yet in common use (and my god, its original use was…specific, and I really hope doesn’t apply to any Band RPF), Francis is poised and generous enough to respond much in the way Neil Gaiman has when asked bout this stuff: he knows it exists, he’s cool with it, but he’d really rather not read it or have it read out to him thankyouverymuch.

As tends to be the case with large fandoms (and hey, Lymond is a big deal! He gets a large and enthusiastic fandom), the overwhelming majority of fics ignore the existence of women in the band and ship Lymond and various male bandmates. Yeah you know where this is going.

This is basically a call-out post to myself.

There is no Ao3 in these days, but if there were, the top five pairings would be:

Lymond/Jerott: This is as it is because of their tendency to share a microphone in a Pete and Carl sort of way (link to example). Because in interviews Jerott doesn’t half stare when Francis is talking, because the fans love the idea that they’ve been friends for years and the fact that Jerott is so aggressively Not Into Guys if an interviewer even dares suggest it. Catnip to fans.

Lymond/Will: This has more of the Richey and Nicky kind of feeling: tall and adorkable but mouthy boy-next-door needs to protect smol and self-destructively, over-thinkingly angsty friend. This is where the hurt/comfort and fluff are at. Probably a lot of fics about Will running away from his family to Be With Francis on the road again, or Francis having to choose between music and Will. 

Lymond/Gabriel: I mean. Obviously. So many Highlander AUs (surely people shipped the Kurgan and Mcleod?). There’s not actually much content for the fans to work with because they rarely performed publicly together, but there’s A LOT of reading into the lyrics of the album Lymond is forced to record at the ashram (made more alluring by the fact he’s rumoured to destroy every copy he gets his hands on and refuses to discuss it in interviews). Darkfic, Stockholm syndrome, the cutest it probably gets is hatesex disguised as a conjugal visit while Gabriel’s in jail.

Lymond/Adam: Adam is of course, adorable and tragic when he joins the band in 1984 and becomes more adorable and more tragic after whatever happens in Russia. These fics are for the sensitive souls, all full of poetry and tender song-writing sessions. They’re for the fans who are too edgy and unique to ship Francis/Jerott, who see Adam as a more complex, tortured soul to match Francis, and who make a great deal out of the shared experience of Russia and the things that no one who wasn’t in Russia could possibly understand.

Lymond/Baida: Russian-language fandom took off in the ‘90s, we’ve got a nice competitive element here, fish-out-of-water, enemies to lovers…surprisingly popular, but probably full of ‘Dead Dove Do Not Eat’.

There are small and very self-righteous fandoms for O’Liamroe/Francis, Jerott/Adam and Danny/various people.

Danny is the instigator in all the orgy fics. Danny is frequently accused of writing the tropiest Jerott/Francis fics just to stir things up – Danny also likes to stir things up by reading out the summaries and asking if Jerott wrote them.

Joleta tries to torment Philippa in a similar way, and definitely reads some of the fics about Francis, but she utterly freaks out about the Gabriel stuff and never brings it up again.

Jerott is not going to know how to respond to the existence of this stuff beyond: ANGERY. He probably spends one guilty weekend reading it and growing increasingly flustered and being horrified and fascinated - then refuses ever to acknowledge to himself he did that. He’s kind of jealous of the confidence of his fictional persona, too, and the way he seems to be able to get Francis to open up...

Adam finds it all bizarre in a completely different way, largely because he does not recognise himself at all in the characterisation in the fics.

There’s one fan who really stans Archie. They ship him with everyone. It’s consistently wholesome and lovely. 

One night at St Mary’s, when recording is going slowly, Danny, Philippa, Adam, Archie and Fergie sit up and collaboratively write an epic road trip AU. Danny posts it on Usenet but it’s received really poorly – fandom says it’s OOC.

There’s the rabid conspiracy theory side of fandom that thinks Philippa is bad for Francis and forcing him to deny his ‘true sexuality’ or some bullshit like that. But some of the best written works are nevertheless the tiny clutch of really sweet Francis/Philippa ficlets.

Marthe thinks the whole thing is demeaning and degrading and she’s also mad at the internalised misogyny of it all (and the minute amount of f/f, and the fact that all the f/f is Jane Dormer/Philippa), but generally she prefers not to waste her energy thinking about it.

Any reunion concert or collaboration is instantly pounced upon for new material. Tabloids are scoured for information, the names of Güzel and Margaret Douglas are only ever spoken with a curse.

There’s probably a short print run of a novel that is clearly loosely-adapted fanfiction about Francis being oh so tragically tragic. By the end he probably succeeds in dying and ‘Jerott’ finds he’s been left custody of ‘Francis’s’ legacy and has to mournfully be the keeper of memories and regret all the things he never said.

If anyone is bold enough to try and get Francis to sign their fanart or print-offs of fics Philippa is on-hand to be diplomatic and does her best to gently avert awkwardness.

I...don’t know how to stop? Feel free to add headcanons/write your own meta-fic :D

✩ ][Rhys and Sal][

@blind-mutant

Disagreements:

Who is more likely to raise their voice?

Sal,,,,he just,,,has no inside voice. He's the guy to run into the room screaming Rhys's name and Rhys just slowly looks up from where he's sitting right next to Sal.

Who threatens to leave but never actually does?

Rhys does because sometimes Sal actually listens a little to him! But as if he'd leave his Starshine.

Who actually keeps their word and leaves?

Sal ups and flies off for a bit to cool down. A bad part of him kind of wants to come back to Rhys being worried and actually wanting him back.

Who trashes the house?

Both of them do but mostly Rhys since Sal is gone by then.

Do either of them get physical?

Sal unintentionally if you count exploding as getting physical.

How often do they argue/disagree?

A LOT at first but they eventually get into a rhythm, Rhys learns how to deal with Sal and Sal learns to soften around Rhys so they definitely end up fighting less.

Who is the first to apologise?

Rhys! And u know what? It definitely makes Sal want to apologise more because goddammit don't be a good person Moonie.

Sex:

Who is on top?

Sal. Physically? Also Sal.

Who is on the bottom?

Rhys. As Sal likes to say, "There's no end ta' dis bottom Moon!" (He's drunk and horny when saying this).

Who has the strangest desires?

Rhys does for sure. But those two weeks in August? Sal's pulling a Magni and begging to be bred and to hear Rhys talking at all times.

Any kinks?

Rhys,,,it'd be easier to name what ISN'T his kink but he loves the lingerie, bondage, spanking and being shoved into his place by Sal. Sal's kinks include lingerie, admittedly he enjoys both ends of spanking and does being serenaded count as a kink? It definitely gets him wobbly in the knees.

Who’s dominant in bed?

Definitely Sal I'd actually laugh at Rhys being dominant to him.

Is head ever in the equation?

Always. I'm really shocked tha we've never written any kind of sixty-nining(?) With them since Sal adores sucking Rhys off and I wouldn't be too surprised if Rhys liked giving Sal head. The chance to have both of their faces buried and squeezing around each other's thighs? Maybe we don't write it because we know the boys would nut immediately.

If so, who is better at performing it?

Oof that's a tough one...honestly? No idea. Guess the boys will just have to have a contest over it ;)

Ever had sex in public?

Yup, over or under the bar counter.

Who moans the most?

Rhys does.

Who leaves the most marks?

Rhys also does because Sal is a peach and bruises ridiculously easy.

Who screams the loudest?

Rhys.

Who is the more experienced of the two?

Sal is since he does more men while being with Rhys and Cecil was rather longtime and constant while Rhys had some moments to himself and other patients.

Do they ‘fuck’ or ‘make love’?

Fuck always. But y'know, Rhys can always turn it a bit mushy at the end and Sal can't dare get away.

Rough or soft?

Rough. Same gig with the fuck and mush stuff.

How long do they usually last?

I assume 30-20 minutes for Rhys? Sal can usually go 15 minutes for most dicks but advanced ones take more energy before he needs a few minutes to breath. Though this is due to the fact that Sal strains his powers and doesn't take care of himself + light poisoning over time. Fully powered and healthy? Two hours baby.

Is protection used?

Nah, not needed expect for two weeks ever August.

Does it ever get boring?

Nope, both of them are VERY infatuated with each other. If being vanilla was a kink then these two would be it.

Where is the strangest place they’d have sex? 

The bedroom of one of Sal's scams. But hey! When there's a heart shaped bed and valentines treats...

Family: (Going on the kid meme where Sal gets pregnant, plans to keep it a secret, but immediately blurts it out and starts crying as soon as Rhys walks into the room)

Do your muses plan on having children/or have children?

Absolutely not but sadly a lack of alien biology means they were not prepared for what those two weeks of August meant.

If so, how many children do your muses want/have?

Just one since its....already an emotional thing enough. Rhys can't handle Sal crying for 11 months again.

Who is the favorite parent?

Sal is because oh god he's softer than melted butter on his Lucky Star.

Who is the authoritative parent?

Rhys is but honestly? Not that authotive. He's melted chocolate.

Who is more likely to allow the children to have a day off school?

Sal is. He's never been and he turned out fine!.....ish.

Who lets the children indulge in sweets and junk food when the other isn’t around?

Rhys. Their baby is just as bad as Sal and now he has two short gremlins pawing at him for snaccs.

Who turns up to extra curricular activities to support their children?

Rhys will. He's a soccer mom.

Who goes to parent teacher interviews?

Both of them since they'd both mess up equally. Together??? A mess. But a hot one!

Who changes the diapers?

Sal does unfortunately. Luckily? Baby also does not use the bathroom as much as a normal human.

Who gets up in the middle of the night to feed the baby?

Rhys will but Sal does in the early months since he just gets instincts up and going at first. ("The baby buzzed." "Oh she's hungry.")

Who spends the most time with the children?

Rhys will. Absolutely takes more time off in order to just spend time with his beautiful baby and mush about how it's his little piece of Sal all for him.

Who packs their lunch boxes?

Sal will because that's parent stuff!! He saw it on TV and that's the most parent thing he could do!

Who gives their children ‘the talk’?

They probably get Bex if I'm honest? Neither of them had a good experience with sex for the first time and I doubt an alien and a gay mutant catholic Irish boy would have been given a sex talk at all.

Who cleans up after the kids?

Rhys will.

Who worries the most?

Sal and Rhys both do but in different ways? If they get into a fight then Rhys will worry about their baby facing the bully without help and Sal will worry about teachers abandoning his baby.

Who are the children more likely to learn their first swear word from?

Sal 100% Swears to the kid when putting them to bed and that's the first thing baby greets Rhys with. A big ass swear out of their smol baby body.

Affection:

Who likes to cuddle?

Rhys does,,,and Sal.

Who is the little spoon?

Sal. Not intentionally!! But when you're that smol....Rhys love his little hot water bottle man.

Who gets naughty in the most inappropriate of places?

Sal does and he isn't sorry.

Who struggles to keep their hands to themself?  

Sal must make things dirty or he will die.

How long can they cuddle until one becomes uncomfortable?

It all depends on what can distract Sal or how long he's tired. Rhys's best bets are podcasts because Sal is amazed by them and will actually lay in his arms for fifty minutes to listen (and konks out halfway but shh).

Who gives the most kisses?

Rhys!! Sal's never been smooched so much in his life!!

What is their favourite non-sexual activity?

Probably flirting arguing over a podcast or Rhys explaining a book to Sal. Rhys's is trying to convince Sal that napping is a cool hobby but nah he ain't buying it old dusty man. ("Did yer really have t'add dusty?")

Where is their favourite place to cuddle?

In bed! With their blankets and pillows!!

Who is more likely to playfully grope the other? 

Both of these weenies.

How often do they get time to themselves?

Often, they have good working schedules so there's a lot of mornings and sometimes afternoons to themselves.

HermitCraft Headcanons: Creeper Anatomy and Biology (Part 2!)

*slams this post on the table and gives you crazy eyes* I'M BACK WITH MORE

Anyway, rabidness aside, welcome everyone! Some of you might already know, but awhile ago I made a post for creepers and their anatomy (linked here). And today, my fellow peeps, I've decided to build onto my original post with more headcanons! But before we start, I want to say something that I feel is important;

I AM NOT A SCIENTIST.

I'm not qualified in any stretch of the imagination to confirm that these headcanons are 100% accurate. Please keep that in mind when you read this. I'm not a professional at all; I'm literally just a big HermitCraft nerd that will go on Internet splurges to quench my thirst for knowledge xD

Anyway, announcement over! Put on your labcoats and grab those calculators and clipboards, people, cuz we're about to dive into some nerdy friggin science! And feel absolutely free to debate about these or add onto them! I'd love to see people get involved with this kind of thing! :D Also, if you have any questions about these headcanons, or have any ideas for future headcanons to dive into, leave me an ask! :)

___________________________________

They still have the potential to explode

Although they cannot do it voluntary, like their monstrous ancestors, creepers still have the ability to detonate. They still have gunpowder in their bodies, but the amount is much less than what it used to be in hostile creepers (let's say about 10% of what it originally was, to keep it simple). I know there's not exactly any evidence proving that but just trust me, I'm going somewhere with this. Get your hands off of that keyboard! xD 

Anyway, lemme tell you what I'm getting at. I bet a lot of you are familiar with what appendicitis is, but for people who don't know, here's the gist; appendicitis is when your appendix (an organ in the human body that's pretty much useless... nobody really knows what it does lol) becomes infected and inflamed, and if not given immediate medical attention, can possibly burst and become life-threatening. So, if there were an organ in a hostile creeper's body that stores gunpowder for self-detonation, that organ could carry onto the non-threatening generations (and possibly become smaller, due to its lack of use). If it were to become infected, inflamed, or receive some sort of trauma, it could possibly ignite all of the gunpowder and cause an explosion powerful enough to kill the creeper it resides in.

They shed their skin

All creatures with scales shed (or molt) their skin and scales periodically. I stated in my last post that creepers most likely have scales (due to their ability to conduct electricity [Like being struck by lightning]; if they had fur or humanlike skin, they'd most likely combust and explode... and nobody wants that to happen to them lol xD), so it would only be logical to have creepers shed their skin every now and then (I also got inspired by this one post by @goopyshell , so check them out! [btw, if you're reading this, I LOVE your Python design. Best snek boi!]). Lizards molt about 2 to 4 times a year, give or take some key factors (such as how much they're growing), but since that's a baseline, we're going to stick with that for simplicity's sake as to how often a full grown creeper would shed their scales. It'd also most likely come off in patches, instead of the whole skin at once, due to creepers having humanoid figures.

They see colors much differently than humans

Since creepers are very reptile like, especially with their scales, it would make sense that they have many other reptilian characteristics, including their vision. In my last post, I mentioned creepers having night vision due to their nocturnal ancestors, but then after I saw this awesome drawing by @bedrock-to-buildheight with how different Hermits see things, I decided to do some digging into how a reptile actually sees the world. Turns out in addition to having night vision, many of those scaly little critters have the ability to see not just the entire visible spectrum of light that a human can see, but also ultraviolet light (a wavelength of light that a human CAN'T see) due to a special type of cone photoreceptor in their eyes (just so you're not confused, a 'cone' is a type of photoreceptor [aka: light detector] in an eye that detects color). As a result, a creeper could (theoretically) be able to see a MUCH wider range of colors than a human can.

They're much shorter than humans

I've seen lots of designs of humanoid creepers (*cough* PYTHON IS A GREMLIN *cough cough*), and quite a few of have them being quite short. So I thought that I'd explore around the Minecraft Wiki a bit to see if there was anything to support that. And wouldn't you know it, there is! According to the game files, creepers are 1.7 blocks tall (or 1.7 meters, since 1 block in the game is equal to 1 cubic meter) compared to a player, who is 1.8 blocks tall. 

Now, at first I thought that I was done, but then I realized that it wouldn't exactly make sense for every single human to be the same height, as well as creepers. Cuz if that were the case, how could we have a tall German cyborg or a smol ice queen in HermitCraft fandom lore and headcanons? xD So did two things; 1, I decided to have the creeper/player height be a ratio (in other words, I'll have the average height of creepers be about 95% of the average height of humans, since 1.7 meters [a creeper's height in the game] divided by 1.8 meters [a player's in-game height] would equal that percent. Maths people xD). And 2, I dove back into the depths of the Interbubs and did tons of research on human height, and eventually found the global average for male and female heights. For humans, males average out at about 171 centimeters tall (a little over 5 feet 7 inches), and females 159.5 centimeters (almost 5 feet 3 inches). If we apply our 95% to those numbers, we can get our average creeper heights! And those numbers calculate to have males be about 161.5 centimeters tall (about 5 feet 4 inches), and females at 150.6 centimeters (4 feet 11 inches).

Hey…

… Hey, wireless?

F YOU.

Okay. Thank god for common sense. I accidentally lost my post bc my wireless conked out.

HOWEVER!

I was wise, and copied the contents. so we have lost nothing but the tags. Which weren’t that interesting any way.

So here we go!

In no order: (also, I apologise for any typos my fingers decided they wanted to type a mile a minute… DX)

Aw, Naohisa (still thinking I’m spelling his name wrong) is giving them science lessons…

That Melto loves and Asuna doesn’t get… XD It’s okay Asuna, I’m not sure I understand, either.

Melto’s so starry-eyed, gods love him. XD

ASUNA.

Aw, Tyramigo. It’s okay, Melto, he doesn’t mean it meanly. ^^

They’re really cute though. XD

I guess Kou got the idea to see the world in his head from watching tv…

But I feel like there are better places to get into the river than jumping over this railing…

THAT LITTLE BLINK BEFORE HE SAYS ‘209’ XD

He’s clearly got no idea why that’s shocking. ^^

UI DON’T JUST ACCEPT THIS! DX

I guess she decided that she couldn’t really tell a 209 year old what to do…

This episode officially made me conclude that Ui and Touwa are the smols. They’re the youngest of the siblings. Kou is next, then Melto and Asuna are like… Twins who are slightly older than him. No one can agree which one of them is older. Banba is obviously the eldest and stuck managing them. Maybe until Gold gets here. Unless he’ll have to manage Gold, too.

Touwa’s fast, but Banba outweighs him… A for effort, though, sweetie. <3

To continue reading foreshadowing in everything… I wonder if Touwa commenting he doesn’t think Banba can lose in one v one means we’re eventually going to see just that happen.

Or, potentially, maybe Banba did once lose to someone in one v one?

Or both?

Touwa, honey, I just want you to know I very much support the concept of you and the others just tackling your brother. Like Merry and Pippin w/ Boromir. Just jump him. He could use the hugs.

Banba gazes majestically off into the distance as he prepares to be angsty.

Banba: ‘People will always betray you.’

Me: ‘Who did this to you? SHOW ME SO I CAN STAB THEM W/ THIS FORK TEN MILLION TIMES???’

I so want whoever hurt him like this to be an absolute dickwad and I want to see them get their asses kicked, esp by some truly pissed off little sibs.

By Banba, too, absolutely. But I would kill for an ep where the kids find out what this person did and go on a roaring rampage of protectiveness for their big brother. TT^TT DX

Touwa definitely doesn’t know what happened… DX I think he knew Banba was distrusting towards others and very much a loner, but he looks so sad and confused that I don’t think he knew it went this deep…

I wanna hug my little green gremlin son, too! DX I WANNA HUG ALL OF THEM!

Eh. I’m sure she’s fine.

Mook suit actors, the unsung heroes of any and all Sentai. XD

Hey, Green final slash! And Black again. ^^

XD Touwa. Banba’s just like ‘irritated growl.’ ^^

I’m… Pretty sure Ui just insulted this guy…?

Okay, here’s the thing. I don’t see nobody glowing green and losing life force. So… Did they just decide not to put that effect in, or… Or did the Minusaur actually come from someone else?

Like… Tall Cheese?

Ahem. Sorry. I mean Fita.

Though she’s not glowing either… Augh. I dunno what I’m saying.

Why would they chain up Ui, but not Kou?

Well done, Kou. ^^ Boy’s clever is a fight. XD

… What the heck was that boise and dramatic shot of her face? Where they just trying to remind us she’s an idol? I think it happened when the brothers find her, too… Does it mean something? Hmm… I dunno.

Kou’s reaction is hilarious, though.

Ui’s neck is gonna hurt later… DX

Okay, but later the brothers wake her up just fine? I guess the effects were only temporary… That’s probably why they chained them up, so that they couldn’t escape even when they woke up.

And… Kou’s sense ends here. Why didn’t you call the others, you dork? XD

Hmm… I miss Tankjoh, but I kinda like the new guy’s music…

I think he’s meant to be a drastically different personality. Where Tankjoh was surly and serious, this guy is bombastic and childish.

These are the most badass children I have ever seen.

Actually, that’s not true, but, they’re up there.

I’m wonder if it’s an effect of the brainwashing.

I love that girl in the lavender sweatshirt who just goes for the spinning kick. XD

Touwa probably bothered Banba until he agreed to bring her here. XD Which may have been easier bc Banba probably didn’t want to have to deal w/ her…

Melto thinking ‘oh, crap, she’s pretentious, the only way we’re gonna get her to talk is… *sigh* okay, someone has to take this bullet, it might as well be me…’

Honestly, though, I think the only other person who would possibly be willing to do that is Touwa, and probably not. Asuna wasn’t taking well to getting ordered around, and Banba would never kneel to anyone (… Well… Actually, no comment). My interpretation is that Melto realises she’s rather high and mighty, and that she’ll respond to an act of 'reverence’ like that, and he knows no one else in the room is gonna be willing to do it w/out complaining. So he just steps in to save them all the trouble. Mom friend to the rescue.

Honestly, it’s very sensible of him. ^^

I need to write more w/ Melto… DX

Banba is the back modelling. Bc boy can’t be in a single scene where he isn’t posing in some way at every opportunity.

XD I WAS RIGHT. ^^

Sorry Short Cheese, Banba doesn’t care if you think he has manners (I wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to ditch her in the forest earlier XD). Touwa looks slightly miffed, but I think he’s less effected by it coming from you. The only one you’re offending is Asuna. And, actually, I’d advise against that.

Hey, isn’t Asuna also technically a noble?

Asuna’s like ‘First off, how dare you? Second, how dare you? And third… How dare you?’

XD This is even funnier bc of one of my casual ships. ^^

Melto hates this so much, but he’s willing to do it to find out what’s happening. XD Poor baby.

Oh, okay. So the mind control is just his thing.

This is so vague I can’t trust it… I mean, I guess most of it could be on the level, but… Hm. I gotta wonder if they were allowed to escape… And what exactly he’s got on them to have them still be doing this? (Bc next ep pretty much reveals they’re trying to trick the team) Is Short Cheese mind controlled? Is Tall Cheese? They repeat her ‘I would risk my own life to save her’ twice this ep, so I’m guessing Tall Cheese/little sister’s life is still in danger somehow…? I dunno. I guess we’ll learn this weekend.

So… What, you can just teleport? Why didn’t you do that when you were running before? SUSPICIOUS?

Also, I’m not sure I trust these flashbacks either, bc they’re from Short Cheese’s point of view, and next ep indicates she wasn’t being on the level w/ the team. I mean, she’s holding that orange rock in a bottle… But… Did it come from her planet? Is it something they stole from the Druidons? Or is there a part of this story that was left out (actually, that much is obvious bc Short Cheese didn’t mention the rock at all), where the Druidon gave it to her? Too many variables, even if I didn’t know they were up to something.

I should note that it’s pretty obvious they’re not actually evil and are being forced into doing this. They’re only here as guest stars and they’re being promoted as being idols (exhibit A, the abrupt song sequence coming up), so I HIGHLY doubt they’re gonna pull out the rug and make them outright evil.

And, anyway, the next ep preview practically confirms that. XD

Girl in the lavender sweatshirt is ready to kill something, I swear.

I also like the boy in the burgundy and white sweatshirt. XD He’s paying such good attention. ^^

Asuna’s offended, Melto’s somewhere else thinking about Wyzul, Banba doesn’t care and Touwa’s in. XD

Touwa clearly here thinking ‘dear god, I know I never want to go through that… O_o’

Honey, I am so sorry, but I make no promises. DX

That’s a very direct question, but no less then I’d expect from Banba. Though also… Kinda odd? What are you trying to establish here, sweetie? Why are you asking this?

This line is very important, clearly. They repeat it twice. Pretty sure it’s to make us understand that whatever is going on next ep, it’s bc the sisters are trying to protect each other. Like I said, I’m presuming that Tall Cheese is actually still in danger somehow.

WHAT WAS HE TRYING TO ESTABLISH W/ THAT QUESTION? And then he just accepts her answer? I’m confused…

I really can’t tell if he’s finding something odd w/ this, or if he’s accepting it bc he’s sympathising w/ her… DX Tatsuya is being unreadable too well! DX

And then she… Just starts singing? Like, I love this show, but… There could’ve been a better lead up to that.

Though I do love Naohisa reacting to the lights. XD

So… Was this just a random musical interlude, or… Was she doing something? I guess it was so that Kou could hear it and make the connection, but the execution could have gone a little better.

Banba takes that extra moment to pose. XD

Untransformed fight! ^^

I love how Banba just delays transforming to take off. :D

I needed to use a new emoticon.

Kou’s little ‘Ah!’ and pointing when the kids show up! XD

Girl in the lavender sweatshirt is going to cut something.

See, this is an effective use of the singing.

Uh… What. Melto, what does that… Whatever. Sentai logic.

Now he says ‘Okay, Tyra!’ instead of just ‘Tyra!’

SOMEONE TEACH HIM TOUWA AND BANBA’S NAMES!

Banba would be SO AWKWARD. XD

Oh, NOW you transform. XD Well, we wouldn’t have had that beautiful weapon toss if you had before. ^^

See? We bring up the line again, and there’s a weird sound cue? Does it mean anything?

Touwa sees the other smollest sib and must immediately go help her. XD

I do like the improve mobility of this mech. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely adored the clusterfuck of orbs that was the Kyuranger mecha, but… It’s nice to seem something more dynamic once in a while?

Kudos the new suit actor, too. Whose name still escapes me… DX

Convenient train tracks. XD Sentai logic.

Actually, just Toku logic.

I love MirNeedle and his honk and his spinning attack. XD

Could you be more tsundere in one sentence???

Touwa’s just like ‘stages of realising your brother is a tsundere, stage 3: acceptance’

Kou doesn’t mind, though. XD

I do think Banba is starting to kind of like the trio, but boy is very damaged and the concept scares him, so he’s trying to fight it as much as possible, even though it’s just kind of a slight, vague fondness at this point.

Like, eventually, he’s going to end up adopting them, it’s going to happen, he’s going to have at least four younger sibs, actually five. But we’re not there quite yet.

I would love a ‘we’re not each other’s only family anymore’ sort of thing from the brothers. Or maybe one of the trio telling them that. XD

One day, a Mosasaurus will be in that empty spot, I bet.

Melto and Banba on the same wavelength. ^^

So… The Minusaur host is dead now?

This is cute, but I already know there’s more to this.

XD Oh, Banba. You’re starting to like them, I know you are. You’re not getting out of this. Though I do get why you really don’t want that to happen.

Though I do think his getting emotional next week is a partially due to it. ^^ Like, yes, there’s the fact that he’s mad at Kou for being too trusting, and that it might be dangerous for all of them/earth, but… I dunno. Probably overthinking.

But I’m gonna wax on about that shot in the preview later, don’t worry. XD

Or worry, if you don’t want to hear my rambling. In… Which case why would you even be reading this.

Melto on point again. XD I really need to write more w/ you… DX

Though on the other hand, I guess there’s a possibility that she could have read it in Naohisa’s papers at the house, or he said it to her. But she didn’t seem interested in the research, and they could just ask Naohisa if he mentioned it.

Hm… Maybe they’re waiting to update the ED until Gold gets here.

Why does Kou have the inflation Soul activated?

… That sounds like he knows way  more about economics than he actually does. XD

As far as the preview, I like the drama that seems to be happening. ^^ Maybe they’ll finally give us some slightly more concrete info on what happened to Banba. Or just… Anything about the brothers’ past? And what about that hooded person? The sisters are up to something, but they’re obviously being forced into it somehow, Wyzul is definitely the sneaky type. We’re also heading into May, which means DimeVolcano and possibly Gaisorg/Gaisoulg? Though he wasn’t in any of the scans so even if his figurine is releasing, we likely won’t be seeing him until the very end/month after.

Pleasedon’tbeGoldpleasedon’tbeGoldpleasedon’tbeGold.

There are so many better possibilities. DX I know who I want it to be (even though I don’t strictly know ‘who’ that is XD), but there are other possibilities too.

And while I would like to see next ep, I am also curious about the arc coming after it. I really wanna know if my crazed visual analysis madness was right about it only being the kids who are trapped in Wonderland and Banba is trying to get them out. I wanna know.

Hm… Does anyone know where the ‘newspaper summaries’ come from? Like, we got the ones from 5 to 7… Are we gonna get ones for 8 to 11 at some point?

I am an impatient baby. DX ^^;

That’s all folks! Virtual chocolate eclairs for anyone who read all that. But, actually, that’s not all! I still wanna ramble about something—namely, and silly personal theory/hc of mine.

Bc of this face:

Okay, so. During that conversation where Banba did the whole ‘Kindness can make one weak’ thing, I mentioned that I found Kou’s reaction interesting? Bc it might’ve been in his characterisation to get mad and insist that kindness does not make people weak—esp since he clearly still doesn’t think that. But instead, he just looked a little hurt, and looked sad? Like… It seemed to me he was more saddened that Banba thought that way at all than being offended by the statement. Not ‘how could you think that?!’ but more… Like ‘that’s so sad that you’ve been made to believe that?’ If that makes sense? That somehow, Kou caught on that Banba has this view bc he was hurt terribly in the past? And then there’s this face here. Boy looks like a sad puppy. It’s totally my skewed interpretation bc I had that thought before, but to me it looks like he’s looking at Banba like… Empathetically? Like he pities him? So now I’m falling even deeper into the idea that Kou doesn’t find Banba’s distrust of others insulting of offensive in anyway, but is just sad for the fact that someone could come to think that way. Realises that Banba is like this bc he got hurt and is scared, and is just heartbroken by that? That someone could get hurt so badly that they lose faith in nearly all goodness in the world? I might like it if there’s a moment where Kou proves he’s more thoughtful than he seems (like, he can be thoughtful, he has his moments—though he is still an impulsive, goofy doofus) by, like, outright asking Banba what happened to him. That’d def throw Banba for a loop, I think. This is, of course, just my overthinking and incoherent rambling. But I do like the idea. ^^ Last note: my god Tatsuya has pretty eyelashes! DX

[jaimednb-blog]

✧ * ☾ — [ troye sivan / homosexual / flexible pronouns ] - damn, i heard { jaime denbrough } just got cast on MTV! rumor has it they are a { twenty-one } year old { art student } from { dexter, maine }. the thing they are going to miss the most from home is { their walk-in closet }. on the show they are most likely going to be known as the { mercurial }. 

heLLO friends i am lainie and im rly annoying and talk about stephen king too much so good luck lmao anyway this is jaime my smol genderfluid gremlin and u can find some info abt him below !! ( tws for slight mention of homophobia and drugs )

so jaime was born in hardcore conservative seneca, south carolina, and literally from the get go it was just Bad News. since he was very very young he was sort of ~aware that he didn’t feel totally comfortable in his skin. he was always drawn to “““girly””” things, wanted to wear skirts and dresses, liked playing with his mom’s makeup, played with dolls instead of cars, all that good stuff. in particular though he usually just felt a lot more comfortable being around girls when he was little and he experienced ( and continues to experience ) a bit of dysphoria sometimes. most of the time it’s not bad and he feels alright in his body, but now and then it hits hard and he just sort of goes into anxiety mode and during those times he will go to his closest friends for comfort and validation

he’s almost always wearing skirts and dresses tho and pastels are his aesthetic

his pronouns are flexible! he’ll go by he/she/they/whatever. he is a genderfluid lil bb and very much appreciates being validated in his femininity

he has wonderful amazing parents which is very lucky for him because they made it extremely easy for him to start coming to terms with who he is, and especially growing up in a place where people weren’t inclined to be open-minded about lgbtq+ people, they provided a safe place for him to explore everything inside their home. unfortunately by the time he was 10 they started to realize it wasn’t gonna work out bc jaime was beginning to get adamant about dressing himself and wanting to wear dresses to school and so that was when the bullying really started. it worked out that his dad got an amazing job teaching philosophy at a uni in bangor, maine, so they moved nearby to dexter ( where his dad grew up ) when jaime was 11 and it wasn’t PERFECT but it was a lot better than being in the south

there was still struggle ofc, and by now jaime’s p much aware that there will always be a little struggle, but he has very much learned to embrace himself and be rly proud of who he is and ( most of the time at least ) be v content with himself and who he’s become

SO PERSONALITY wise he’s actually a sarcastic little shit, always stirring up trouble bc he’s Bored, likes doing things specifically to get a reaction out of people, and has mood swings like you’ve literally never seen before. this tiny terror will be the most affectionate kitten in the world one second and the next be flaky as fuck nd you couldn’t get his attention if u set off a bomb in front of him so good luck

when he’s in his kitten mode tho he’s Very Very Affectionate

he’s a little Slut honestly ?? he sleeps around and literally does not bother hiding it, he’s perfectly comfortable with people knowing. he like deep down rly wants intimacy and a real relationship but he genuinely doesn’t know how to settle down and so boys usually get rly fed up

the one actual relationship he’s had lasted abt 6 months and ended terribly so he’s like !!!!!!! fuck that !!!

he’s very hard to love. like he’s easy to become infatuated with but he’s honestly like a tornado or smth like in order to love this boi u have to be able to love something rly quite destructive and intense

um this bitch smokes so 👏 much 👏 weed 👏 like he generally has a joint or two on him tucked away somewhere. he is also, however, big-time against hard drugs ( coke, heroin, meth, etc ). he’s done coke a couple times, but like in general he won’t touch that shit !! and he’ll probably purse his lips at u if u do it in front of him, but unless ur like rly good friends he prob won’t actually say anything bc he tries not to be ~preachy. if ur good friends tho boy watch out he’ll randomly get pissed off abt it and start a fight eryfjyethyrgaudhsja

he’s like super into philosophy bc of his dad, and he’s intelligent so the concepts come to him quickly and easily, but he’s completely unable to apply those concepts to his real life he’s literally too childish. he also has a lot of random knowledge, catch him rhapsodizing about medieval juridical systems and the origins of whaling in america

also he’s an artist at heart, he’ll almost always start doodling on napkins and receipts etc no matter where he is or what he’s doing. he’ll usually have paint stains on his hands and arms and sometimes legs. he goes to art school !! we love a stupid ass art hoe. that’s jaime

he’s doing the show For The Vine and his parents are pursing their lips so hard about it

for reference he’s blond!troye but also he dyes his hair wild colors a lot so honestly it could be anything at any given time

so uhhh??????? that’s p much it for now ig, hmu on here or discord ( starslut#0877 ) for plotting !!!!!

20 Marchant Stories - Part 4: The Proposal

(( It is here, finally. After running this blog for nearly 2 years now, we have almost reached the end of Eiden’s story. This will be the second-to-last story in this blog, and the remaining 15 stories will be found over at @marchant-girls.

The very last story will be posted on July 21st, the same Friday when Splatoon 2 releases to the public.

This fic features a special squid from @a-demo-of-a-hero‘s blog

Without further delay, enjoy this reading!))

The day has finally come. Eiden Marchant, a 19 year old purple squid from Inkopolis, was set to change his future for good. He dressed up nicely, hid a nice pink leather box in his pocket, called Eimie and Eika over to meet at the Inkopolis Fair, which had just recently opened again. He then called Demo, his girlfriend, over to come to the fair again. 

Eiden was waiting patiently at the fair entrance. He had been here nearly half an hour early. He saw Eimie and Eika far in the distance, waving excitedly.

Eika tackle-hugged Eiden. “OH MY COD! IT IS FINALLY HAPPENING, ISN’T IT?!” He said, snuggling up to him.

“Agh! E-Eika! Calm down..! As promised, you will get to witness this magical moment..!” Eiden hugged Eika back.

Eimie caught up with the hugging siblings and smiled faintly. “Hey loser... I just wanted to say... thank you for calling me over. Kinda nice that you considered me to be here... despite all the bullying that I have done to you...” Eimie felt a bit ashamed. She had given Eiden a lot of hell before. Now that he will be gone, she felt a bit guilty.

“Oh, come on Eimie... it’s not that big of a deal.. I mean, you are older than me, so it is your job to ‘bully’ me, right? It is like an established rule for siblings..!!” Eiden tried brushing it off, as if it were nothing. Yet, Eiden was still careful around Eimie.

“Y-Yeah, I guess... Also... hope everything turns out well for you once you are up there in the ferris wheel. Eika has told me that you revealed your feelings for Demo up there? I mean, kinda cliché, but I guess it is meaningful to you...” Eimie said, helping Eiden back up and taking Eika off him.

“Yep.. Oh! Here she comes!” Eiden waved at Demo, who quickly showed up in front of them. “Shall we?” Eiden extended his arm, which Demo quickly and happily clinged to.

Eiden, Demo, Eimie and Eika got up on the ferris wheel, all in the same cabin. It was even the same as the one before, since there were crude repais done to it. Demo had cracked it open to escape the cabin, back when the ferris wheel failed to work.

Eimie nudged Eika’s arm. “Psst.. record this.. It will either be a hit or miss..!” She said. Nonetheless, Eimie was nervous for Eiden. She has known how easily Eiden gets nervous. Would he be able to pull this off swiftly?

Once at the top, the ferris wheel stopped abruptly. Demo groaned. “Oh damn is this happening YET AGAIN?!?” Demo stood up to try and force-open the cabin doors. Eiden quickly jumped to action.

“D-Demo.. wait! D-Do you remember what happened right here, in this same cabin, months ago..?” It was happening. Eiden had set this plan to motion.

Demo stopped to remember, which caused a small dark blush to fill her cheeks. “Oh yeah! Heh, you snuck up here a bag of marshmallows. You were so nervous back then, doing the whole “Oh I love you” thing. Really sweet of you, by the way!” Demo smiled.

“Yep! What a scene, I remember...” Eiden said, standing up next to Demo, and admiring the whole city from the top of the ferris wheel. Eika took out her phone and started recording. Eiden and Demo didn’t noticed, as they were looking out at the rising sun.

“Actually D-Demo... ever since t-that day... you helped me realize something...” Eiden’s little heart started pumping faster. 

Demo looked back at Eiden and was able to notice. She couldn’t help but to giggle at the little babi getting nervous, just like always. But this could only meant one thing.. Demo started blushing.

“Back that day, y-y-you made me realize that... that I had a new purpose in l-life. I n-now wanted to accomplish new t-things... I started thinking... that I w-wanted to travel the world and have n-new stories to tell...” Eiden gulped. The phrase was coming up.

“I... I realized that I wanted to... t-t-to share them w-with you...” The time had come. Eiden looked at Demo, directly into her eyes. He took her hands and slowly knelt down. Demo knew what this meant, she had seen these in cheesy movies. But it was now happening here, and happening to her.

“A-And.. ah!... I w-want to know... i-if you are willing to... to accept t-this journey I w-w-want to start... !” Eiden reached for his pocket. Eimie and Eika were both screaming internally, showing an enormous grin.

“D-Demo... Demo Woods.. my tall and strong squidfriend...” Eiden nervously opened the leather box, revealing the shiny ring that he had bought weeks ago.

“W-W... Will... Will you marry me...?” Eiden muttered the magic words he had been practicing for weeks now. Demo was covering her mouth with one hand, as Eiden held the other. She was speechless. Little smol Eiden had now proposed to her, making her an engaged squid.

“N..Nerd... Of course I want to be your wife, you cheesy gremlin!” Demo lifted Eiden up from the floor and planted her lips on his, engaging on their first romantic kiss as future Mr. and Mrs. Marchant.

Eimie and Eika stood up, clapping and holding back their tears. Eimie smiled and Woomy’d, while Eika giggled happily. 

After their long kissing session, Eiden took her hand and slid the ring in her finger. Demo was internally screaming as well. She admired it from close. Eiden had this enormous grin and huge blush across his entire face.

“Demo.. I love you...” Eiden hugged her tightly. He was the happiest squid in the world.

“And I love you as well, my little flustered smol boi...!” Demo giggled through her overwhelming emotions. She hugged back as well, even tighter than his embrace.

Eimie and Eika went over to both hug and congratulate Eiden and Demo. They all shared this happy moment in Eiden and Demo’s life.

The day has been perfect. Eiden and Demo exited the fair after playing all the games and eating tons of food. Eimie and Eika followed behind, but not to close to allow them to share their moment.

“Wow.. he actually did it..!” Eimie whispered to Eika. “I... I actually though he would bail and just leave it as it is... but I guess he built the guts to really do it..!”

Eika smiled back at Eimie. “Yup! Eiden is a really strong squid! I never doubted him and his skills. He might be like the most anxious and nervous squid in the world, but he found someone who he really loves. Love can do anything, Eimie!” She whispered back.

Eimie was about to reply, but those words from Eika struck hard. Eimie took a deep breath, and relaxed. She will need to remind herself those sentences, as she patiently waited for Fynn to come back.

After walking out the fair, Demo used an app in her phone to request a special ride back home. They were patiently waiting for it, so Eiden and Demo could spend the night together.

“Alright you two, we are heading home. You go spend the rest of the day together, as the engaged squids you now are!” Eimie cheered on them.

“Yes! You now go watch Squidflix and chill, or something! I dunno what engaged squids do, but just go and have fun!!” Eika also cheered. “See ya around~!” Eika and Eimie started walking the opposite way, leaving Eiden and Demo alone.

As soon as their requested ride arrived, the driver squid stepped outside the car to open the door for the couple.

The driver looked at his phone to identify the squids. “Alright, got a request to travel back to Downtown Inkopolis from.. Demo Woods?”

Demo nodded her head. She then had the idea to tease Eiden even more.

“Demo Woods is fine, although you may now call me Demo Marchant!”

Business as Usual

Ok! So I did a little thing based off @timdrakeothy's AU (that I've been calling the Reverse Batman AU) where Bruce is included in the AU and is a smol bb dealing with all these crazy vigilantes. Also tagging @audreycritter for her brilliant contributions to the AU and me borrowing her idea of Jason's origin (which I'll find after posting and link here). Anyway, tiny Bruce trying to boss around ""his"" team is very entertaining for me.

“You’ve probably wondered why I’ve gathered you all here today,” 12 year old Bruce Wayne announces in that resolute, self-assured way that only a child can be. The team of tired vigilantes exchanged amused glances before going back to patching each other up after a rough patrol. They didn’t mean to end up in the boy billionaire’s orbit but one by one, they’d been drawn in first by Damian’s one man war against crime and stayed because of Bruce’s stubborn resolve to save the world. He financed all of their equipment and Batal had been using the cave system beneath Wayne Manor as his base of operations for the past five years since he’d left the League of Assassins and become Bruce’s “bodyguard”. If the kid wanted to think he was in charge, no one was going to stop him. Besides, it was pretty cute.

“Yeah Boss, we have been wondering.” Jason responded sarcastically but the fondness in his tone was evident. He hadn’t expected to be unofficially taken in by a rich kid he’d been trying to rob nor become a partner to the legendary Batal but he was happy here with these crazy nutjobs. Bruce either didn’t notice or ignored Jay’s flippant tone for he pulled himself up onto one of the operating tables so that he could look each of his team in the eye. Those tables were supposed to be for emergency surgery but they mostly ended up being high chairs for their fearless leader.

“With Alfred visiting family in England for the week, it’s up to me to maintain order around here. And I’m worried about how this team is being run. Your hearts are all in the right place but I’m afraid there are some things I can’t let continue.” Bruce says with all the seriousness of a reluctant businessman about to fire someone. Damian most certainly does not look amused as he crosses his arms and stares down at the boy he saved almost five years before.

“And that would be?” He asks as Brown leans around his muscular arm to beam down at Bruce, probably because she deems his pout to be another ‘Kodak moment’ as she puts it.

“Dick,” Bruce begins causing the 14 year old, who was in the middle of end of night stretches, to freeze. “I saw on the cameras you were on your own for exactly 39 minutes tonight and it was almost an hour last week. You’re just starting out; you can’t be without back-up out there. If you can’t follow these instructions, I’m going to have to bench you.”

“Come on B,” Dick moans, “I’m trained enough; I can do things on my own for five minutes without Batal breathing down my neck.” Damian sniffed, turning his attention onto his latest partner.

“He’s right, you’re still young and you still need constant supervision out there. If you’re not with me or someone else at all times, you’re not out at all.” Dami said sternly while Dick just deflated, there was no arguing with Batal Almafquda when he was like this. “Good observation Bruce, please continue.”

“Barbara Gordon is still running around as Batgirl,” Bruce continues pulling out a small notepad and observing his notes. “She’s getting better at learning to avoid your patrol routes but I want to put a stop to her activities before she gets hurt. We can’t encourage her behavior, no matter how cute Dick thinks she is.” Dick sputters in the background but Bruce continues on unperturbed, turning to Jason.

“I’m concerned you’re not taking this seriously Jason,” Jay rolls his eyes as the focus turns to him.

“I’ve been doing this for almost 3 years and I’m 18 so you can’t boss me around kiddo.” He says with a flippant shrug, “I don’t even live here anymore so you can’t hold that over me like ya used to.”

“No but I was here when the Joker kidnapped and tortured you for nearly a week because you hadn’t listened to our warnings about how dangerous he was.” Bruce said with too dark eyes while Jason’s face became blank at the mentioned of his abuse. “I’ve lost enough family and I don’t want to lose any more.” This of course brought all eyes over to Tim, who was glaring at the floor with a stern expression and his fists clenched in stress.

“And what did I do Bruce?” He rasps out, trying to get the visions of the sword going through his heart during what should have been a normal patrol out of his head. He recalls the sharp acidic sting of the Pit when Ra’s brought him back to use against Batal. He thinks of his short, terrible tenure at the League of assassin before Damian finally was able to reach through Ra’s brainwashing and allow him to escape. He thinks of his once steel grey-blue eyes that have become stained green, a permanent sign of his failure as a hero. “What other ways did I screw up?”

“You did not eat the fruit roll-up I put in your utility belt,” Bruce replies seriously and the absurdity of the sentence snaps Tim out of his painful reverie. “You haven’t been eating well enough lately; you’ve been working too hard. I told you to eat more fruits and vegetables but you wouldn’t eat the potato chips I gave you and I found the uneaten fruit roll-up still in your belt.” Bruce paused to wag his finger, “this is your last warning Tim or else I’ll make you stay home and let Alfred feed you.” Tim feels a weak laughter bubbling up in his chest not just at Bruce’s naïve earnestness on what counts as a healthy diet but the nonjudgmental care in the younger boy’s eyes.

“Yeah Tim,” Stephanie teases from beside Damian, “eat your fruit roll-up or you’re off the team.”

“Stephanie you need to put more effort into your schoolwork, your English grade dropped to a B- this last quarter.” Bruce adds with a disappointed raise of his eyebrow that is entirely inappropriate on a child who still has babyfat in his cheeks.

“I do plenty of studying! My teacher is a shrew and out to get me and why the heck are you looking at my grades you little gremlin?” Stephanie complained, putting her hands on her hips.

“I do it because I care Stephanie and I want you to get a good education so you can get a nice, well-paying job. So bring your grades up or you and Tim will be studying and eating fruit roll-ups together.” Stephanie grumbles while Tim sticks his tongue out at the girl, his earlier melancholy gone in the face of a chance to make fun of one of his best friends.  

“Cassie, you’re doing great as always,” Bruce says with a smile and a nod while Cass smiles back with that special smile she saves only for Bruce. “And lastly, Damian.”

“Yes?” The Arabic man asks, staring down at his employer in name but his child in every way else.

“You’re approaching the 60 hours without sleep which you know results in confusion, lack of concentration as well tremors and slowed reaction times. Alfred usually can get you to see reason but since he’s not here I’m forced to take drastic measures.” Bruce said seriously, letting his words sink in before he held out his arms to be held. “It’s nearly 3am, much later than Alfred lets me stay up. I was placed in your care during his absence so unless you want to deal with his anger, you’d better put me to bed. And I can tell you that I won’t go easily unless you go with me and ensure I sleep the whole night by staying with me.”

Damian stares down in incredulity at the child before him. Was he being guilted and blackmailed into sleeping? But then he notices Bruce’s pale face and dark circles under his eyes and he remembers that the boy hasn’t slept much since Alfred’s been away. Distance from the butler always made his nightmares that much more potent. This tactic was probably to help him sleep as well as Damian; the older man sighed and rubbed at his eyes. He had a good bit of work still left to do but he was feeling tired and he couldn’t just leave Bruce alone with his demons, threats or no threats.

“Drake, Brown, go over the files we took from Cobblepot’s computers tonight and see if anything sticks out. Cain, please get me that report on Zsasz’s underground fighting ring and then we’ll move in on that. Todd, you’re still on the Falcone murders get me that research but also finish your schoolwork, you’ve got class tomorrow. Dick and Bruce are going to bed.” Damian announced addressing his team as he stooped down to pick up their little leader. At 12, Bruce was getting to be too big to carry but there were some exceptions when the orphan needed a little extra care. He settles the warm, weight against his chest and sighs. “I’ll be going up too. Good patrol but Bruce is right, we are going to be making some changes around here. We can’t allow for any error in our operation, I will not lose any more people.” That said, Damian turned around and stalked up the stairs to Wayne Manor with Dick skipping after him.

“You know you can probably just put him in bed and he won’t notice, you don’t need to sleep with him.” Dick whispered as they passed through the grandfather clock. Bruce was already half asleep in his arms and would likely be completely asleep by the time Damian settled him down.

“We both know he would notice,” Damian responded back, “besides, there’s nothing wrong with giving the children some attention.” He said reaching out to ruffle Dick’s hair. “Now bed or I’ll make you join us. You have school tomorrow as well.” Bruce sighed sleepily into his shoulder as Dick ran up to the second floor and Damian took a moment to stroke the boy’s head. He was such a good-hearted child, so full of hope and a determination to see that no one else should suffer his tragedies. Damian would do everything in his power to make sure that Bruce was given the love he deserved, he deserved better than this life no matter what he claimed. His real talent was not just his brilliance but his ability to attract people due to his earnestness and keep them together as a family. Given the opportunity, Bruce Wayne could change the world. But not tonight.

“Let’s get some rest little one, you’ve earned it.”

Reflecting on Season 2

Season 1 was an introspective look at what drove our main characters. It established the setting, told us what is what. Season 2 up-heaved everything; it was a maelstrom of horror and intrigue, plunging both the main characters and the viewers alike into a realm of emotional highs and lows. There's a thousand thousand things to say about the legendary quality of this season, and it pains me that I won't be able to express every thought I have. So in writing this, I'll take it one step at a time, as before.

I will begin by getting the negatives out of the way: I am a bit disappointed that long-standing plot points weren't addressed in any way this season. Corrupted Gems, Triangles™, The Crystal Heart/Temple, Lion (and the contents of its mane), Lars & Sadie, and even Malachite got pushed to the side. However, I am giving the show the benefit of the doubt here. Season 2's pacing was lightning fast, and gave us absolutely fascinating and bold plot developments. Fusion Experiments, Sardonyx, and Peridot were all sublime. If Season 3 starts handing out answers for the oldest questions, I'll be content. And... I suppose that's it, really. That's my one small, petty complaint. Hot dang.

Now. Let's talk characters.

Steven Quartz Universe took the back seat this season. Upon thinking it over, I've realized that Steven didn't really change in any obvious way. This season, Steven seemed to exist as a catalyst for the development of other characters, or only served as the viewer's window into the world. But that's not to say he didn't change at all. It was subtle-- extremely subtle. Steven has developed insecurities of his own that, in stark contrast to Amethyst, he keeps well hidden. We learned he wonders if the Gems blame him in some way for Rose being gone. We learned he's self-conscious about not fully belonging with either Humans or Gems. And even more so than in Season 1b, Steven has become far more mellow and low-key. He's still got that child-like sense of fun and that delightful earnest hope that all people and things can be redeemed. But there is a weight pressing down on him, burdening his journey into discovering who he is. This season, Steven has witnessed and discovered terrible things, from within the Crystal Gems and beyond. In the near future, with resolutions for the Cluster and Malachite on the horizon, it's likely that trend will continue. How long before he breaks? Which straw will be the last? I would also like to acknowledge that he has become far more competent. The off-screen training sessions with Pearl have allowed him true mastery over his Shield, and he's pulling off a few magic powers with ease. I'm excited to see this aspect of Steven's growth continue.

Pearl has been cracked wide open, her past raw and bare for all to see. Created to be a slave, she was freed in the process of the Rebellion and became the embodiment of everything the Crystal Gems fought for. Pearl is now an able fighter, intelligent and strong in ways she never could have been before. But despite the epic feat of her rebirth, Pearl allows herself to be haunted by the ghost of her past. She fooled herself into thinking she couldn't stand on her own. Without Rose Quartz, Pearl fell into a disoriented state. She's afraid to be alone. And in trying to deal with the loss of Rose, she exploited Garnet's security to leech that feeling of strength. It's tragic, but sympathetic. I understand why Pearl does what she does. But new information casts a disturbing shadow over many things. How much of Pearl's devotion to Rose was honest, and not a remnant of the way Pearls are designed to serve? How could Pearl not stop herself and realize she was trying to impose Homeworld's view on the worthlessness of Pearls on Connie? It all leads me to believe that Pearl is not done freeing herself from Homeworld's grip on her mind. There's still progress to made in this regard. Pearl lives in the past, and needs to learn to keep her gaze forward.

Amethyst has taken huge strides forward. Much like Steven, she's mellower and more serious. She shape-shifts much less, and is no longer playing at lone wolf. She has embraced being part of the team, and eagerly helps out where she can. Starting with Reformed, Amethyst has begun respecting herself, too. Indeed, when Amethyst learned that she's a runt, she took it surprisingly well. Season 1 Amethyst would have flown into a rage, and attacked Peridot. Season 2 Amethyst took the news hard, yes, but she displayed restraint and apparently let it go. I also appreciate Amethyst's quick interjection when the Sardonyx folly was revealed; She earnestly tried to take some blame herself to help out Pearl. Pearl, the person Amethyst butted heads so much with in the earlier season. Much like Steven, Amethyst's development here was subdued. I look forward to what lies in store for her. *cough Amedot cough cough*

Garnet, as I expected, was overshadowed by exploration into who her components are. Ruby and Sapphire make for convincing halves of Garnet's whole. At every turn, we can detect the undiluted traits that compose her. Ruby is emotional, and genuine. She's fierce, and proud, and willing to do what it takes to do what she thinks is right. Sapphire is restrained, and concise. She's calm, and smart, and wise. They truly complete each other, and this season made Garnet's existence very convincing. It also humanized her; She has moments of weakness and self-doubts, just like all the other Gems. Sometimes, Ruby and Sapphire don't see eyes to eye, and sometimes Garnet is at a loss for what to do, Future Vision be damned. And on top of all these things, Garnet has continued learning to express her emotions and open herself up to those she loves. And perhaps it is this very trust and openness that made the Sardonyx incident all the more bitter. Indeed, there were two separate moments this season where the very concept Garnet holds most dear was defiled in revolting ways. Fusion Experiments and Pearl's betrayal were both stunning moments that shook Garnet to her cores... literally. But these challenges to her existence served to reinforce her, not deter her. Garnet won't back down from being what she is, and is going to fight with everything she has to justify herself. All said, I am unsure what comes next for the three of them. I sure know I'm excited to find out.

Connie has taken big steps forward in both halves of her life. She's become a proficient swordswoman under the tutelage of Pearl, and an asset to the Crystal Gems. She has also bonded closer with her mother, including her in the magical life she's kept hidden, and eased the strict rules of the household. But... There's something that's really bothering me about Connie. The whole deal with her mother is, like, the one bit of agency Connie has. Everything else Connie does, says, or has happen to her is a plot device for Steven's sake. Greg at least has his own history predating Steven. Connie... is Steven's best friend and now combat ally. Can't she be something else? Maybe this is a petty complaint, but all I know is that I hope Connie becomes a bit more unique and self-sufficient eventually. That said, Connie is an engaging character, and I love it every time she appears on screen, and quite enjoy everything she does. Connie is fun, and I love watching her. I just want better for her, ya know?

I would be remiss not to talk at length about the MVP of the season. She's loud, proud, lean, mean, green, and smol: Peridot's arc was a tour de force invasion of my heart. Her transformation from thoughtless Homeworld drone, to terrified refugee on the run, to curious and analytical gremlin, to defiant Crystal Gem willing to speak against her Goddess was masterfully written. Organic and believable, the whole way through. Peridot's personality fills a hole in the Crystal Gems I had no idea was there; I am excited beyond words to see how the show will change with her permanent presence! Her every word and gesture was an insight into the mysterious ways of Homeworld.

To be honest, I struggle to say things about Peridot that I haven't already said across the season, or on Discord. So... please know that I freakin' adore this little green treasure, and fully appreciate every bit of nuance in her development. It's some Grade A+ writing, and I loved every second of it. And in case it wasn't clear, yes, she really is my favorite character on the show now.

All that said, we can now have some closing thoughts.

Homeworld is monstrous. We've learned so many things about its culture now, and I struggle to think of even one redeeming fact. They keep Pearls as slaves, they destroy planets, they callously kill any who dare step out of line, they torture the dead with unimaginable pain in the form of Fusion Experiments. So when the day comes that Steven, pure, innocent Steven, must fully understand that horrid way of life and fight back, well... There's just no way that Yellow Diamond's going to be swayed. There's no way that Steven's purity and innocence will survive against Homeworld's crushing presence. It's going to be horrifying to watch.

I think that about wraps it up. Perhaps a look forward is in order: In the near future, I expect the Cluster and then Malachite to be dealt with. From there, Lapis Lazuli and Jasper can be expanded upon. Old plot threads can be picked back up. And in the far future, I'd imagine the Diamonds await.

Finally. It is done. That is all I have to say about this legendary work of art. I calculate the score of Season 2 to be 86/100! Wait... That's exactly the same as Season 1b! If it were up to me, I'd rate this one a 100/100!

Oh well. I look forward to more Steven Universe, and I thank you for continuing this wonderful journey with me.
