goff kids family headcanons<3

michael

his parents are divorced and have both remarried. his father and step mother live in south park and have majority custody, but he usually spends his summers with his mom and her husband. they move around a lot so often times its a different house year to year.

his parents divorced when he was pretty young, only around 3 or 4. his father remarried almost immediately, but his mother didn't remarry until he was in his teens

he has an older sister, she's around 15 years older than him. she lives in new york.

they aren't super close, they kind of forget the other exists a lot of the time, but whenever they're together during the holidays or other visits they'll hang out. they text each other about once a month.

every other year, his mom takes him and his sister to visit her family in south korea. they spend about a month there.

of his four parents, he gets along best with his mother, then his step father, then step mother, and lastly his father.

they do not vibe.

henrietta

her father is her mother's second husband. occasionally she'll remember this fact and be weirded out.

she and bradley DO NOT get along at all, except in brief circumstances when either of their parents are being shitty, in which they will team up to harass their parents.

she has attempted to poison her father on three different occasions

pete

lives with his mom and little sister.

his father left when he was five, his sister was a few months old. they've had no contact with him since.

he does honestly love his mom and sister a lot but he tries to play it off in public. because psh, no way. blood family?? that's bullshit. obviously. duh.

that said if your mean to his sister he'll fucking Get You.

(this sentiment is also granted to karen.)

additional furry family is pete's fat ass cat named elliot and an ancient hound dog who spends most of his time asleep on the porch.

firkle

they live with their dad and his parents. their mother is in jail.

their grandparents are really catholic and generally do not agree with firkle's. you know. everything. but their dad just wants them to be Happy, so he'll usually defend them even if he's a little confused.

occasionally he does worry that firkle will end up like their mother but he does not know how to change this situation. he tries to sign them up for summer camps or just things where they'll have Normal Kid Experiences but they always wind up weaseling their way out of it.

their mom sends them letters sometimes. their dad always always always reads them before he'll hand them off to firkle.

(their grandparents will just toss them)

she's a little bit crazy bananas batshit which firkle thinks is kind of fun but is distressing for everyone else

they have four pet rats. most of their room is dedicated to Rat Space.

(their mom used to have a ball python which they are FASCINATED to learn.)

Hello I hope it's not too much to ask but is it okay if I request some Al and Shore Leave hanging out? Thank you

I hope that by "hanging out" you meant "lovingly embracing." If not, you're welcome.

(thanks for the request, it was lovely!)

[monotone-artist]

hello um. explodes into a million pieces

[id: two digital art pieces of characters from horizon: forbidden west. the first image has three different drawings featuring aloy, seyka, and beta. aloy is in the oseram artificer outfit with leather armor, bracers, and a leather crop top vest with red cloth; beta is in the nora huntress outfit, with a leather tunic and a light blue bandana around her neck; and seyka is in her usual outfit with a white-and-gray fabric armor and a pink-and-gray scarf. the backgrounds in these pieces are a textured light pink.

the first drawing is an upper body shot of aloy and beta, who are side-by-side, each with an arm slung over the other's shoulder, the sides of their heads touching. aloy has her other hand on her hip and is smiling at beta, though she also looks slightly concerned. beta is ducking her head slightly, her other arm curled into herself as she also smiles, albeit a little anxiously.

the second drawing is of aloy and seyka. aloy is sitting down, her legs outstretched while seyka is laying back against her chest. seyka has an interface open in front of her that she's curiously navigating through, her tongue sticking out. aloy is peering down at her and smiling. they're both slightly blushing.

the final drawing is an upper body shot of aloy and seyka. seyka is grabbing aloy by the shoulders and frantically shaking her, gasping in amazement, her eyes sparkling. aloy looks pretty startled but otherwise isn't fighting against it.

the second image is of a sunwing, a pterosaur-like robot. she is standing, lifting one wing to preen at it. she is simply colored a slightly darker shade than the background. the text reads, "Sunny the Sunwing <3" end id]

posting that sketch yesterday made me remember just how much i love my taashath so i did another doodle <3

[gale-force-storm]

I'm really just Feeling Things tonight about the conversation with Gale after Elminster's visit and like. Gale is So Insistent that if Mystra says he needs to blow himself up, then it must be the best option. The only option. And of course he is! Because what's the alternative? If there's another way, any other way, that means either

1. Mystra doesn't care enough to consider whether there might be another option. Gale blowing himself up is the easiest solution, so that's what she goes with. Or, even worse,

2. She does know there's other options, but tells him to sacrifice himself anyways, because it gets rid of two of her problems at once.

Gale doesn't just assume she's right because she's a goddess. He goes along with it because of what it implies about him, and her, and how she sees him if there is another way. He has to believe that this is the only option. Because the alternative? That he's disposable at best and actively unwanted at worst? That's just too much to bear.

Had a thought

Was listening to No Longer You again and I realized that Tiresias is pretty much describing the Thunder Saga and a part of the Wisdom Saga

“I see a song of past romance.”

Is about Suffering and Odysseus talking to Siren Penelope

“I see the sacrifice of man.”

Is about Scylla and the six men sacrificed to her

“I see potrayals of betrayals.”

Is about Mutiny and his crew betrayal of him

“And a brother’s final stand.”

Is about Thunder Bringer and Eurylochus’ death at the hands of Zeus

“I see you on the brink of death.”

Is about Love in Paradise and Odysseus standing on the ledge preparing to jump

Which begs the question — what does this line mean:

“I see you draw your final breath.”

Because the implications aren’t looking good

Carolyn Petit killing it as always. If you're not familiar with her work, I strongly recommend it! She's a wonderful writer and from one highly opinionated trans woman to another I always find her work insightful and deeply resonant even if I don't always agree. I think her post-game essay on The Last of Us Part 2 is essential reading on the game.

Anyway.

I'm wary of the word 'representation' but this- this is why we *do* need it. We need havens. We need art that reaches out and lets us know we are seen and loved - that we have a place in the world that in many ways feels increasingly hostile towards us.

We need stories like Baulder's Gate 3 and Mass Effect that let us carve our own paths and find connections that feel true. We need stories like Hades and Life is Strange: True Colors with strongly and lovingly defined bi characters with resonant arcs. We need stories like The Last of Us Part II that are about queer and trans becoming, finding refuge in each other and holding on to that as long as we can - unshakable bonds of love in a world that is collapsing at the seams and ready to pull us apart without mercy. We need lesbian women like Judy Alvarez who are painted with such crystal clarity and compassion while also being an absolute dumpster fire like so many of us are. We need stories like Horizon Burning Shores that arrive as politicians are trying to excise us from public life and dare to show us finding each other in a beautiful, reborn future and parting with the hope of what we could be someday.

We need all of this. We need more of this - stories that let us find our own way and bespoke, curated narratives. Stories that let us know we have a place in the world.

We don't get enough. We need more. And - I don't have the experience to speak on this with authority as it is not my lived experience but please feel free to reblog and add on - our mlm bros ABSOLUTELY do not get enough representation. Judy's story in Cyberpunk is, in my opinion, one of the best wlw romances in gaming but male V's romance with Kerry can't even be unlocked until a hidden 4th act of the game that isn't even available until you have the point of no return available to you. THAT - that's not cool. We need to do better. Our boys deserve better. We need rep that isn't lopsided.

Anyway thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

oh my god i didn't even think about stick!alan if dark survived somehow... actually that'd be so funny

[stewy]

always remember the last person house wanted to see before he died was cameron. and the only person who he could imagine talking him out of a burning building was also cameron.
