#yes btw these all apply even if the kid is adopted I hope I made that open enough

Dad! Kai Headcanons

Well, marriage wasn't something he thought of too seriously before the war- and during, it was just a far-off possibility, something he could worry about later; maybe after it was over, he might meet a nice girl or guy or something, settle down as Supreme Warlord of China, have some calves, why not?

Theoretically, in this AU, something like this happened. One way or another, he's now a daddy!

Kai, at first, doesn't really know what to think. Ok, he's done it, he has a kid...now what?- But as soon as he holds that little bundle...ok, he's still very, very unsure, but at least he knows that he'll both kill and die for them.

Extremely gentle when the kiddie is this small. He holds them like they're made of the most fragile glass and almost doesn't move at all. He just sort of cradles them in his big arms and just stares at them the entire time.

The kids probably pull on his facial hair all the time. He doesn't mind that much, though it does hurt.

When they're a little older he's always tossing them into the air, catching them again, playfully acting like they're heavy and he's going to drop them (mostly to scare the other parent because he's a jerk), etc.

Play fights them and pretends that the little "attacks" actually hurt- it's funnier the smaller the kid is. The smaller and younger the child, the more he exaggerates the effectiveness of the "attack" (ex: baby grabs his finger and he pretends the kid's breaking his entire arm).

Bonus to previous point: He uses that as an excuse to get out of doing dishes ("Will you do dishes now?" "Can't. Kid broke my arm. I'm grievously injured.")

Actually surprisingly patient with screaming and crying and tantrums (as in, he doesn't yell at/threaten/shake the kid no matter how annoyed he is) but he does have a limit. He'll try to soothe the crying at first, but might pass them off to Oogway/the other parent if it's too much for him to deal with at the moment.

Is the type to stay up all night with the baby/babies, even if it was supposed to be the other parent's "turn"- his partner needs sleep too.

When he thinks no one's looking...you know he's cooing to the little fluff ball, tickling that round tummy, and kissing those chubby cheeks. If you saw this happening...no you didn't.

The kids are always riding on his shoulders when they're small. He's also always picking them up or slinging them around like sacks of potatoes.

Oogway is the godfather of the child(ren). Kai wouldn't let him be anything less. Oogway is definitely the fun, slightly mysterious uncle who tells the best stories and jokes and also spills all of the tea about some of Kai's more embarrassing moments.

When the child(ren) is older, however, he becomes less outwardly affectionate. The most he might do might be ruffling their hair, patting them on the head/shoulder, etc.

He can be a bit strict, especially in terms of discipline- he's not cruel, just stern; he has a very rigid nontolerance policy towards nonsense.

Might be a little softer towards his daughter(s).

Is actually pretty protective of them. Seriously no one so much as raises their voice at his babies without suffering some severe consequences.

If the kid takes an interest in fighting he'll definitely start training them; but he does not go easy on them by any means. The battlefield is unkind- he knows better than anyone, how could he fail his child(ren) by not preparing them for that harsh reality?

Will also not hesitate to brutally roast his own child(ren) should the occasion arise, but playfully.

Will also make "motherf**er" jokes constantly (when they're old enough to understand). If they try to roast him back he'll pull out the classic "I sleep with your mom/dad".

Also will embarrass his child(ren) on purpose when they're teens. At that point he'll finally understand why his parents did it to him: it's fun.

Will be really prideful about his child(ren)'s accomplishments. He'll constantly boast about them, claiming that "they probably get it from me".

Also, for your consideration:

Normal for the headcanon ask game?

Right away, lovebird! Hope you're having a wonderful day btw 💗💗💗

Sexuality Headcanon: SOOOOOO bisexual to me <3 Slightly favors more masculine-presenting people but just by the tiniest of margins. And he is some form of asexual as well but hasn't quite figured out where he falls on the spectrum!

Gender Headcanon: Most trans boy to ever exist. Yes I thought this before the Teenybinderpocalypse but that phenomenon has made me even more sure about it! He can also be a little fluid with it on occasion, especially if he finds a swishy skirt with a good texture, but mostly thinks of himself as a boy.

A ship I have with said character: Oakworthy my beloveds,,, silly4silly issues4issues mascot4methodactor,,, truly I am such a believer in them. If Oakworthy has 1 fan it is,,, well it's probably Will Campos tbh, but if there were 2 Oakworthy fans I would definitely be jostling for that position.

A BROTP I have with said character: Scary and Normal are truly. Everything ever. They're siblings they're besties they're haters they're EVERYTHING TO ME!!!

A NOTP I have with said character: Um I guess??? Normal and Taylor??? Not that I have any real issues with it! I've just seen a few fics for them and then looked at their canon interactions and went. 🤨????? Yeah they might technically be married but they're friends. To me. They've been forced into a group project together and they tolerate each other.

A random headcanon: Literally in a copyright infringement battle with Matthew Arnold rn (/j) because the rad fact that he gave Link in episode 36??? Literally my headcanon for Normal. It just makes sense that he'd be a contacts wearer since Henry and Sparrow and Hero all wear glasses but also glasses would get all foggy in his mascot suit! In my mind he had them on for the whole trip so far without taking them out (an irl friend of mine pulled this stunt for a similar period of time) (kids at home DO NOT TRY DOING THAT) up until around episode 23, where the sheer everything of the Doodler made him cry them out. And then he proceeded to make the trip back home mostly blind skhdbfkavfkhsfs. Anyway. Mr. Arnold what the fuck how did you pull that from my brain.

A hc that could actually apply to him now is that Normal knows how to braid hair! He did it for Hero when they were younger, and he used to do it on himself but now his hair's at a kinda awkward length to braid without 29364 pieces falling out.

General Opinion over said character: SON BOY. I'm adopting him he's been through so much and I am so very proud of him ;-;

@justbeingedgy @weird-colombian-gurl You asked me to elaborate on the "Ches already has a kid" theory in the notes of that one mf analysis post (which I really liked, go check it out!!), so that's why I'm making this one, cuz notes are a bit too restricting for what I want to talk about!

Though next time think twice before asking me to talk about something I'm interested in, because you never know when you're gonna wake up lovecraftian horrors!! :DDD you'll see what i mean when you press read more :))

So, I'll say it right now - this post is largely inspired by the second story highlight of this Instagram user (sorry, I don't know their name, only that their Instagram handle is dee_girl_metalfamilyfan), it's in Russian though, so keep that in mind

Alright, so I'll break this theory into two parts: the first one will be all about Ches, and the second will be about his potential child (spoiler: you might've seen her!)

Without any further ado, let's get to the Ches part:

1. The creators said that they're gonna explore Ches' character in the second season. Obviously, it doesn't mean anything on it's own, but just wait.

Dima: Let's talk about the second season a little. Of course, the seconds season will show development of the old characters, as well as new ones. That's in short. As you see, Ches looks a bit different here.

Alina: Yeah, we'll show a bit more about Ches at the ages of 18 to 20. His past. We'll reveal a bit more about his complex character, as much as it's possible.

(The source of the translation) Also I think they also said at one point that adult Ches will get some character development too? But that's probably a given, considering that we wouldn't see his youth if it wouldn't have affected him in the present, flashbacks without any relevance to the overall story don't sound so good

2. Not sure about this one (we don't know how much in character it was) but I can't not mention it.

Alina: Actually there was this one fanfic that I really liked. I don’t remember what it was called, but it was about Ches having a daughter, which is a cool topic. It was relatively in character and truly interesting. It’s great when people focus not just on sexual relationships of the characters, but also try to look at their development. That was a really interesting one. That’s it.

(UnityCon '19)

3. This one's a pretty big one, in my opinion. So, this is what they said on ArtWave '19:

Dima: Ches also has flaws.

Alina: [to Dima] Don’t spoil stuff.

Dima: His flaw is that he's very... irresponsible, let’s say.

So, maybe, just maybe, Ches does have a child but he, you know... left them? As the Instagram highlight from the beginning say: "he might be irresponsible enough to leave his child, and he's probably irresponsible enough not to use any contraception" (rephrased, not the exact quote)

4. Alright, so, the only mention of this one I can think of right now is the aforementioned Instagram highlight. The Metalfamilyfan says:

I contacted Korg/Корж, (admin of @ metal_yama [and I believe one of the organizers of the Metal Family Meetup in Moscow]) and she asked Alina on one of the meetups: "if Ches were to be a father, what kind of father would he be?"

And she said: "The kind of that would say "kid, look at that birdie over there!" an then he would run away"

Someone's words are not the perfect source, but they did tag Metal Yama and from what I know they didn't disagree with what the author of the page said. if anyone has anything to say about this (disprove or definitely prove what I said) feel free to do so in a reblog, notes, DMs, send me an anonymous ask, or in any other way you feel comfortable with

5. Ches has literally been through the same thing, and we know how important the theme of the cycle of abuse is in Metal Family (or, in this case, the cycle of neglect? Abandonment? Idk)

You managed to hide your PREGNANCY from me! AND you've been hiding the child from me for a whole year!

YES, because you would've insisted on aborting him!

AND NOW I'M INSISTING ON PUTTING HIM UP FOR ADOPTION! OR I'LL LEAVE RIGHT NOW!

6. Here we can see Ches with a blonde girl. Nothing too special, probably just a one time hook up. He doesn't seem to be interested in her, and she seems to be annoyed with him.

But wait...

What is this?

Like, it doesn't even matter if there's actually a punk/rock/whatever band named MOM or not, I just think it's pretty weird to put it in this particular drawing of Ches and this random woman who is implied to have slept with him. It's not integral to Ches' character as, for example, Korol i Shut is. It's just... there. For some reason.

------------

Alright, now, finally let's get to the second part of the theory: who is, exactly, his child?

The short answer is, according to this theory, her:

First, let me list every single instance of her appearing in canon (and by canon I mean everything made by the creators. Even with this definition of canon it's not much, I promise): The screenshot you can see above on the left (it's a screenshot from the second season and it appeared here), an instagram story posted by Alina (above, right), and two drawing with a lot of characters where you can spot the girl which I'm gonna call her PinkHair or PH for short, I'll mention them later I feel like I should mention this, comparing the sources of the images and the dates when they were posted, it's safe to assume that the screenshot in the classroom has the latest and final version of her design. The red hair most likely doesn't mean anything

1. Alright. So. we've seen Dee and PinkHair in a classroom together, so they're most likely related in some way, or at least they know each other. Their exact relationship doesn't matter here, because all that matters here is that they're related story-wise

Let's look at the first image. This is the banner of the main Metal Family channel. Ches is near Heavy (they get along quite well and I'm sure Heavy aspires to be like Ches in many ways), Dee (we can see his classmates/friends near him, they're all about his age), and we can see people related to Glam on the left side of the image (including Ches!), and Vicky's - on the right side (notice how the hell sign is also there)

Now, I'm not absolutely sure about this one, but it's still kind of weird - look at the image on the right (it's from ArtWave 2021 btw) - wouldn't it make more sense to put PinkHair near Dee? Also, Curiously enough, not only is she not close to Dee on this image, but she's also standing next to Ches.

Though this whole thing could be explained by art theory (too many small things in one corner of your drawing isn't great composition wise lol sorry PH) but I still can't quite skip this point

2. Remember the "MOM" lady? Fun fact, she has the exact same pearl earring that PinkHair has on the screenshot.

3. I'll put all similarities with her supposed parents in this point: Mother: * She's also pretty uh.. glam? for the lack of a better word? Or feminine in a traditional sense, yeah I think that's a better way to put it. Like colors they prefer to wear for example, and jewelry. Characters like that aren't common in Metal Family * She's gotta be a blonde. I can't imagine her being anything but blonde. If she manages to maintain that hair color as a brunette I'm just straight up assuming her character arc is gonna be killing God because these kind of people are capable of anything. I fear them with every fiber of my being. * I can't say for sure because of the shading, but it seems like they both have gray eyes, and she also has darker skin compared to most MF characters. Though, it's likely that Mom just applied a lot of fake tan Ches: * We know that Ches for sure has darker skin * AND grey eyes * There's also some possible personality similarities but I'm not sure if you can compare a child to a parent they've never really known in this way

That's about it, I suppose, I hope there isn't that many grammar mistakes and logically unfinished parts and whatnot in this post I forgot to edit lol x) I'm not sure how to end this post other than to remind you guys that almost all the points in this posts are inspired by the "тупая теория" highlight on the dee_girl_metalfamilyfan's Instagram page, so go check them out and subscribe, they post Dee x The Quest Girl fanart and and always credit the artists. Without them this post would be much, much shorter.

Thanks for reading this post, please feel free to let me know your thoughts on this post <3

[spade-snax]

Alright! Here goes my Bugsnax Grumpus last name headcanon!

(This ended up being way longer than I thought it would've been, oh god-)

I think we all can agree that the headcanon where a Grumpus child has their parent's combined last names as their own last name is a very common headcanon people share. It's a good one! Even I like it a lot. And when applied to OCs or fankids it makes for some hilarious names.

It'd make sense in-canon and I feel like it gives the Grumpus world more depth as their own little tradition. (Honestly give me ANY culture/tradition headcanon for Grumpuses PLEASE THOSE ARE MY FAVORITEEEE I even had one for teeth a while ago that I may share publicly one day!!)

But I've been thinking about this, especially because of Cromdo and my own OCs - Neddy and Rason Honeyfidget. With Rason being Neddy's dad, if we only used this headcanon then Neddy shouldn't have this last name... Well, there's a lore reason why he doesnt and that is that his mother has died while he was still an egg, a while before hatching. Rason made him take on "Honeyfidget" only.

But that's just the backstory that got me thinking at the name traditions as a whole, so I'll try to avoid OC talk any further to make this friendlier for others who do not know about my OCs and are just interested in reading this headcanon.

Another headcanon I want to mention as I apply it to my own is the headcanon that Triffany changed her last name to Bronica's last name as a way to honor her. You can definitely change your name to anything you want in the Grumpus world, but changing your last name to a relative's like your grandparent's last name is possibly quite common!

And now I want to bring up Cromdo and the fact he is divorced. It has been confirmed that Cromdo is divorced and that his name may reflect that. (Though originally it was answered in the AMA that "Cromdo Face" just sounded funny at first and that it is possible that he did loose a half of his last name this way!)

Also I want to say that he wasn't abusive to the child mentioned! I remember there was a small confusion and drama about that. And I believe one of the devs on the YH discord mentioned that the 1# tie was a reference to Octodad. I do not remember if that confirmed that he is a father or if this answer by Sage was possibly wrong. He cannot see the child because he lost custody of them and lost in court. I do not have screenshot evidence of this. On a side-note I believe this could be one of the reasons he grew to be so money hungry. He didn't have enough money back then to keep his child. Again I want to say it could be ONE of the reasons and not the exact reason why he is this way.

This is more so of an ramble about my headcanon and what I want to say rather than some comprehensive thing, I am so sorry dfwergeg it's just how I write and explain things and I gotta mention it ALL (Great addition to "Guzma, your ADHD is showing")

Anyways, back on track with my HC.

But in this/my headcanon - Cromdo is divorced, he has had a child, and lost a part of his last name because of the divorce. I do not know how human marriage last name and stuff works properly so uh, see this as just speculation about a fictional species' culture rather than a carbon copy of our own. Which it clearly isn't LOL

I personally think that you can do multiple things with your last name when you get married! (And how it can affect the child's last name!)

Let's use Chandlo and Snorpy as examples, because I think they make great last name combinations. (And Snorplo is HELLA !!/pos)

- You can change your last name to your partner's last name, like we do commonly. (At least, with all the cultures I'm aware of and how marriage works for us.) Examples: Snorpy Funkbun, Chandlo Fizzlebean

(This one isn't very common to do!)

- You can change one half of your last name to a half from your partner's last name. Examples: Snorpy/Chandlo Funkbun/Fizzlebun

(Not as common either, but it still happens. It is actually more common than the first example. This was the case for Cromdo. I'll get back to this later. Grumps usually reserve this for their childen, which is the most common way of naming your children!)

- You keep your last name after marriage! Example: Snorpy Fizzlebean. Chandlo Funkbun. Canon examples would be Wambus and Triffany as well!

(Most common one to do as many wear their last names with pride or for other reasons - such as Trifanny when she changed her last name to Bronica's last name in this headcanon.)

Before we get to the kids again, I'm gonna go back to Cromdo and what can happen during divorce.

During divorce you can simply change your name back if you changed it, or keep the last name you took from your partner. Many simply change their last names back to what they were originally. Some, if they went by the half/half method, take away the half from their ex-partner only. This leaves some Grumpuses with one worded last names, such as Cromdo.

I think he changed a half of his last name during marriage. After the divorce, he didn't want to "wear" his partner's name anymore and changed his name to Cromdo Face only as Face was a part of his last name he was given at birth. This is most often the default for Grumpuses who have been divorced and took only half of their partner's last name.

If Cromdo - (or any Grumpus with a one-word last name! There's certainly rare cases of Grumpuses who have one word that didn't go through divorce. Possibly Grumpuses with bad attachment to one of their parents - so they change or remove that half of the last name they got from said parent. If their last name was a combination.) - were to re-marry he could take one half of his new partner's last name, or not change his name at all.

I want to get onto how naming a child would work with this situation, so I will talk about ways of naming children before I get back to this! And by naming I of course mean the last names only, lol.

(One rule is that, unless you change your name later in real life for any reason, it's gonna have to be one of these otherwise! Your Grump parent cannot make you up a new last name. It is just a part of the tradition they have. Though re-naming isn't looked upon in any way by the majority of Grumpuses as there are many reasons to do so!! Unless you're a jerk or you value your last name TOO much.) (Also when I say "you" I don't mean YOU as the reader literally. I mean a hypothetical Grumpus child!! It's just how I like wording things.

(...I've been writing for almost an hour, brain scrampled eg)

- Your last name is the combined name of your parent's last names. Examples: Fizzlebun, Funkbean

(VERY COMMON! Most Grumpuses will do this when first naming their child!)

- Your keep one of your parent's last name! Fizzlebean or Funkbun.

(This all works if you have multiple parents btw! Can make for SUPER crazy long and funny last names. This *all* applies to marriage, too! I hope it is easily applicable. I do not want to go in depth on that. Feel free to hit me an ask about this if you want me to explain it more in depth!! I wouldn't want to exclude polyamorous relationships ^^ )

(Also yes, last names that are just the same word repeated twice/multiple times are possible too. Fizzlefizzle, Funkfunk... How fun are these to say? Gives me Grumpus OC name ideas already.)

But yes! Back to Cromdo! Or any Grumpus in the same situation, but as I've stater earlier, Cromdo is just an example here. If he were to re-marry and NOT change his name, there's two posibilities:

His new partner has a full last name.

In this situation, if they have a child they can keep the full last name from Cromdo's partner. Or they can have one word from his partner + Face. For reasons stated below the child cannot have "Face" as their only last name.

His new partner has a one-worded, short last name like he does.

In this situation, if they have a child they have to name it a combination of their last name's. No exception. Having a short last name is a sign of something happening in your life, and it is traditionally not put onto a child, unless they are adopted with no last name. That still counts as something that happened in their life, as their birth parents possibly just gave them away with no care in the world.

------------------------------------------

At this point I am almost completely off track, so please do ask me questions as I am not sure where I completely left off - Or rather if there is something I forgot that I wanted to mention.

By the way, for combining last names and such, you can also mis-match! Doesn't even have to be combinations. This applies to everything, even for (Full last name + one-word last names) where it makes sense the most. Examples: Beanfizzle, Bunfunk, Bunbean, Bunfizzle, Beanbun, Beanfunk. I'm personally a big fan of Bunfunk and Beanbun :P)

And this applies to siblings, too! It isn't uncommon for parents naming their children mis-matched last name combinations if they have multiple ones. (This ties into my headcanon for Filbo's many siblings and that he isn't a single child. He's in a big household and has at least 2 siblings. ONE OF WHICH I want to make into an OC! This requires me to make the parents, too, but I am not so bothered about that :P)

I'm out for now, all my brain power has left me a few paragraphs ago and I've got to go eat lunch

But again I encourage people to ask me questions (If anyone was brave enough to read through this!!)

And if I got anything wrong, do let me know! I am not all-knowing and I could've missed some VERY OBVIOUS mistakes.

And sorry if the writing is wonky at times! Sometimes it is done on purpose but sometimes the fact I only pretend I know how to write + the fact English is my second language IS SHOWING

(Also I sometimes just write how I think, without much thought put into the sentence if I don't proof read, so HSDFWERGRGT)

[neighborhood-merc]

It is I, and I am back with more a new list of fanfics for this wonderful ship called SpideyPool. 

Listen, I don’t know why I’m doing this as well (maybe because I fuckin love these boys and want to share my fave fanfics of their ship to everyone...or whatever) but here we are. [ Here are Part 1, 3 btw! ]  

Same shit applies:

The themes of the stories on this list varies, I’m either into something heart-warming, fluffy, domestic that sort of stuff or into some really really heavy and dark messed up ones. It always depends on the mood am I right? *wink wink*

It’s always gonna be smutty though lol

As long as it’s tastefully written, whatever kinky shit, I can be into it, I don’t judge the writer. With that being said if I add something straight up messed up here now/or in the future, don’t judge too, just mind the tags of the fic, for your own discretion if anything.

this list should be Wade Wilson/Peter Parker - Spiderman/Deadpool pairing only. I kinda like my babies greedy/possessive for/of each other.

I don’t care who tops or bottoms.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Summaries are taken directly from the fanfic’s summary.

Read the tags first!

Wolves [ Update: Sadly, the fic has been deleted :( ] (This is WIP, but I swear it’s so fucking good you should read it. It’s a Prison AU, and the writing is sublime)  Peter is falsely accused and sent to jail, where he meets the violent ex-mercenary, Wade.

Don't Forget To Check Your Calendar! Peter REALLY should remember to check his calendar or Peter forgets that he has a heat coming up, and in doing so causes several sticky situations to occur (thank god for Tony's NDA's).

Communication Error “Have you seriously been doing this bit for a year now?” “Bit… what bit?” Wade looked at him, confused. “This,” Peter waved his hand, “the 'we’re dating' bit.” There was a pause, and then suddenly, it was like Wade’s whole body imploded. His shoulders sunk and his head dropped and suddenly Peter knew he’d made a huge mistake. “Hahaha, yeah, the dating bit.” He held up the wine. “One year of one really bad, horrible joke.”

Night Off Wade is taking the night off when a certain Spider calls for help.

The Great Florist, Wade Wilson (this ones got a Sequel) Deadpool has found the apartment belonging to Spiderman. Or Peter Parker, if the name on the door is anything to go by. Now some people might use this information of said secret identity wrongly. Normally Wade would have been one of them. But this is different. This is Spider-Parker, I-mean, Peter-man, I-mean, fuck. Now Deadpool just have to figure out exactly what he is gonna do with this information. Which is quite simple really. He's going to leave Spidey flowers and win his heart this way or the one, where Deadpool spams Spiderman with flowers, and Spiderman has no idea what's going on

Tale As Old As Time, Song As Old As Rhyme (This belongs to the series  “A Spider in the Pool”) It is absolutely fucking good, I recommend you read them. Do read the warnings though yeah?) Peter Parker gradually falls for Wade's dubious charms. They have a lot of hang ups and kinks to negotiate, but with sex this hot, Peter can't help wanting more. Erotica with significant plot and relationship development.

Help Me, Peter Parker, You’re My Only Hope! “I need your help,” Wade admitted. “And why would I help you?” Peter asked with an amused chuckle. “Because, um, I asked you? Isn’t it what you do? Help people who ask for it?”

Damage Peter Parker finds himself in a sticky situation and who should show up to rescue him but the infamous Deadpool? Now Peter feels indebted to the mercenary... And maybe weirdly charmed by him.

I'm Serious Wade wants Peter to top. But he really, really doesn't know how to ask.

Shake it out (this series is a good boi)

Sick Days  "Wade." "Mr. Rogers." They stared at each other, one calm and silent in his fury while the other looked like a deer about to be pummeled by an eighteen-wheeler. "I'm sure you have a reason for being in my son's bed without a shirt on?"

Love Me Dead Peter tries to tell Wade his feelings. It's kind of a train-wreck.

Disgusting -Spideypool (5+1) This is a Wade Centric fic containing topics of mental health struggles and self image. Nothing too graphic but still.

Flip the Safety They both get a little carried away when they fight, but this time Wade grins over his gun and the worst part is that Peter knows he doesn’t plan on shooting him.

Do It Yourself “I bet you’re flexible enough to suck your own dick.” Wade plants that thought in Peter's head and he can't help where curiosity leads him.

Looking for a savior in these dirty streets  (WADE YOU LITTLE SHIT LOL) what's your opinion on eating ass? just looking for a yes or noThat's the text Peter gets when he's in a meeting with Anna Maria, trying his hardest to get back to running a company a few months after an unexpected trip to the underworld.

Act your age (not your shoe size) “Wanna go grab some grub? I have it on good authority there's some qual-a-tee Mexican around here.”Peter’s mouth drops open. “Uh, you always invite guys you just met out for lunch?” Deadpool laughs and leans forward. The words are muffled when he says, “Only the ones I meet in movie theaters.”

That's the power of love (cute af fic) “Yeah, so, about that. Nice to meet ya, I’m Wade Wilson but def not your Wade Wilson although I gotta say, I’m jealous of the asshole.”

Baby, i’d victoria your secret anytime (another good boy) Peter’s known Wade for a while now, so he can maybe see how this makes sense -- like, maybe Wade has a thing about going commando and just happened to have an old girlfriend’s panties lying around, one thing led to another…but…“And the bra?” Peter croaks.

It's The Alcohol Talking It wasn't every day that Wade came across a drunk-off-his-ass Spider-man.

Marco (this is fuckin’ hurt ok???) Spidey was fine. Everything was going to be fine.

Took no time with the fall (Part One of “wasn’t looking for this” series) When the Avengers had briefed him on Deadpool, they played up the Kills People for Money and Has No Real Morals angle and left out the Is Pretty Damn Funny and Charming in a Weird, Terrifying Sort of Way part.Or, five times they meet on rooftops plus one time they take it to the streets*

Now you're in my way (Part Two of “wasn’t looking for this” series) Wade's been with the Avengers for four months. The two of them have been together for five.Their relationship consists of taco-based dates, a ton of sex, and, well, Avenging.

The Stalking of Wade Wilson "It’s around this point that a niggling thread of thought worms its way into his head when he’s not paying attention, one that gently suggests that Wade might be slightly less of a bad guy than Peter previously thought."

Seeing the real you (it's not what I imagined) "The fuck,“ Deadpool said slowly. He was staring at him in a way that made Peter feel decidedly uncomfortable, and this was saying something, considering Deadpool had a habit of leering at him at the most inappropriate times. "Are you kidding me?" he eventually gasped. "How OLD are you? Twelve?“

I'll Always Protect You Anonymous said: If anyone is up for it I have a rescue prompt idea where Peter (he is not in his spiderman suit) is taken as a hostage with a gun to the head along with a few other civilians.

Also I would love if someone write how unnervingly skilled Wade is as a mercenary. Please? Anyone?

Your ass is mine  Spidey takes a toilet break while on patrol. He wasn't expecting Wade to join him.

Wade Wilson, an alpha, who happens to be a professional mercenary for hire, is now paid to catch this mutant, and try and calm him down by “any means necessary” because Peter, even as an omega is swrecking havoc amongst the city. [ 1/2 ] Of course, Wade takes those words seriously, and decides to just do that solution by first, capturing and drugging the young omega, and then, placing him in what could be described as a special and adjustable breeding stand in Wade’s attempts to calm Peter down.

Adoption arguements

I am posting the full history of this conversation to give context, and leaving off the name of the speaker because I don’t want this to be a hatchet job or have it look like I want this person hassled.  Ultimately the position is what I want to address, not the person, who is undoubtedly sincere.But sincerity doesn’t mean right. This came about from a post discussing the value of adoption where this individual pointed out many adoptees have complaints. I choose to do this this way mostly because I don’t want to feel limited by the PM system, and because I have very strong feelings following this exchange.

 Them:

If you can, check out the following links to see what I mean. https://twitter.com/DebbieGarratt/status/1188565960061378560?s=19 https://twitter.com/DebbieGarratt/status/1188585006311989248?s=19 https://twitter.com/DebbieGarratt/status/1188592298021404674?s=19 Also, their living status doesn't outweigh adoptees' complaints about their adoptions if they're almost 4x more likely to attempt suicide.

And this too: https://adoptionsurveysblog.wordpress.com/2017/10/14/results-in-adult-adoptee-perceptions-in-closed-adoption/

[for reference, the twitter posts says this]:

Me:

I'm a little bit confused as to what you are debating? That adoption carries hardship and some mental trauma? Sure. Life has that too. Would it be better if adoption took place within the family? Of course! I think anyone would agree with that so long as family isn't abusive or drug ridden. I HATE what that woman said in the twitter. What kind of monster do you have to be to say that to a child? Talk about causing mental trauma... And no, the fact that they are alive definately outweighs any other factor. Unless you're going to argue that a higher percentage of suicide means they are better off dead to begin with? If so, will you advocate for the death of transgender people who have suicide rates 20 x the national average? That's absurd. Adoption comes with hardship, absolutely. hardship increases chances of suicide, matter of fact. I would like to see those graphs plotted against a random selection of the population to see how they compare to norms. I didn't happen to see the 4x figure. but then I'm trying to get to bed now, lol. I'm just confused as to what your position is. Abortion is better than adoption?

Them:

No, I am a pro-lifer and so is Debbie and some of these adoptees. We just don't think that claiming another person's child as your own is a beneficial or necessary way to care for a child from a crisis pregnancy. It's because many pro-lifers believe that it is that many adoptees are turned off by the pro-life movement. Legal guardianship is a good way to take in a child who doesn't have any relatives who aren't willing or able to care for them, but adoption is not necessary and can and often does cause a lot of the trauma that's described in those links.  As for what kind of monster would say that to an adoptee, it's the same kind of monster who will say to a homosexual, "that 'love is love' and 'born this way' lines are nothing more than propaganda and I was a fool to believe otherwise". This is what adoptees will say because they know this first-hand and they know that they're far from alone in this.

Me:

I just...I can't fathom ever saying that kind of thing to a child. Talk about destroying a child's confidence and self image and making them suicidal. I can't think of a single child that line could ever help. The lines to a homosexual are bad because they are wrong. Telling an adoptee they are special is not only kind, it is also true. After all, they ARE special. Each one is special to God, and each one is made special by the love of others for them. They WERE chosen, literally! To say to a child, "no, you were unwanted and not special, but that's ok, you're not less than anyone else..." I mean, that literally sends two opposite messages. I don't know if you are a Christian, but God himself says that we, as believers are adopted sons and daughters of God. The term is applied to us. And once again, if there is someone in the family that could take them in, that's great. We agree on that, certainly. And I believe the courts do as well. That's a form of adoption, in fact. But if they can't, then adoption outside the family would be the next step. Any family will have its issues, but I believe adoption is a net positive outcome situation. I don't...I just don't understand what you are fighting against.

Them:

You're misunderstanding what we're talking about. The grown adoptees are not saying to an adoptee that he/she isn't inherently special or chosen. They're saying to him/her that his/her parents didn't adopt him/her for those reasons, but because it was their last resort after trying to have children of their own. They're pointing out the selfish and covetous reasons for adopting a child that have little (if anything) to do with the child's best interests at heart. That's the reality with many adoptive parents and adoptees are sick of them trying to pretend otherwise. As for what we're fighting against, you're confusing taking in a child and caring for him/her to always mean adoption, but that's not the case. Adoption, as it is defined in the adoption community, is only one way of doing it. Another way to do it is with legal guardianship even if the child isn't related to the family. The difference between that and adoption is that adoption involves the extra step of the family severing the child's ties with his/her original family and claiming them as their own. That is the thing that adoptees and their allies find problematic and unnecessary and different from biblical adoption (which only involves adults being adopted for inheritance purposes) and that's what we're fighting against. Despite what adoptive parents and adoption agencies will tell you, blood ties are important because they make up a huge part of a person's origins and identity. It's one thing to choose or be chosen as part of a spiritual family, but it's another thing to completely severe ties with your original family to try to replace them with someone else. God wants us to honor our parents, including our biological parents, and that's really hard to do when our connections with them have been cut in all but DNA and our blood ties have been rendered insignificant.

Me:

Ok, you've given me a lot to think about and I believe I understand a little better what your position is, but before I reply, I need you to answer a couple questions to help me understand better how to do so. Were you adopted? Do you have children?

Them:

Neither, but I do know people in and outside my family who were teen/single moms and some people in real life who were adopted. And I used to have that pro-adoption mindset, until I saw some things that helped me understand what adoptees must feel about their parents rejecting/abandoning them. And not long after, I started doing research and reading a lot of testimonies from adoptees and bio moms (who are not always mutually exclusive, BTW) about the trauma that they've experienced from the relinquishment. There are whole blogs about it on Facebook and all over the Internet with a bunch of testimonies from writers, followers, and commenters. You can Google them and see what they have to say. And when you do, please just listen to them instead of trying to argue with them about adoption because they've already been through that and they're sick of it. There's also scientific research about it with biology and social science fields that you can also Google.  Also, take note that just because some adoptee may seem happy with their adoptions doesn't mean that they actually are. They might actually be hiding their true feelings, in denial about it, or not having processed the trauma that they experienced at a young age. Many of the dissatisfied adoptees that I've heard from were once in that position.

  Ok, deep breath.  

First off, I think you are over-simplifying things enormously.  And I think you fail to keep things in perspective.  Are there bad parents, whether they adopt or not? Yes.  Do some people adopt for the wrong reasons, or because they have no other option?  Yes. Do some people have kids of their OWN for the wrong reasons?  Yes.  I think you are so focused on this one aspect of family life that you fail to remember that there are $****ty people everywhere. That parents can mess up, that kids can get hurt, no matter how they became a part of a family.  Everything you say about adoptee kids above, can be said by natural children.  You speak about how many websites there are from adopted kids talking about their hardships.  Did you ever check to see how many websites there are about natural children talking about their families?  Heck, that’s practically a rite of passage and a badge of honor these days for kids to complain about how much their families messed them up.  If you wanted to make some kind of definitive statement about the value of adoption, you need to compare it to a baseline, which I don’t see that you have.

Now, I agree with you that separating kids from their families is a hardship. Would it be better for them to be “adopted” (by whatever form, or however you want to call it, becoming a part of a new set of guardians) within their extended family so they retain a sense of their roots?  Certainly. However, that is not always possible, or even desirable for a multitude of factors.  Would you force the family to keep a child they didn’t want for the hypothetical value you think it would gain in being part of such a family?  I would hope not.  I think you oversimplify the types of adoption there are too.  Not everything is closed.  I have friends who adopted a child through the foster system that regularly sees his biological grandparents, even though the parents didn’t want him. There is a whole spectrum of adoption formats, each having their own unique dynamics and struggles.

Now I also agree with you that adopted kids are likely to have some unique struggles of their own.  Some hardships that natural children aren’t going to have.  Some will be unique to their circumstances, such as feelings of abandonment and issues of self worth because of their birth mother giving them up. Some will be due to the genetics or condition of their birth.  You talk about adopted kids having a suicide rate 4x higher than the norm.  Assuming that’s true, there are other factors at work here that could contribute to this apart from them just being “adopted.” Many women who give up their babies have medical, genetic, mental or drug issues that lead to their not only giving up the child, but having it in the first place.  How many adoptee kids are born with damage due to their mother’s drug or alcohol use?  How many kids are given up because they themselves have medical issues their parents don’t want to deal with?  My pastor adopted a daughter who has had lifelong struggles with medical issues almost certainly due to her mother’s lifestyle and who was surrendered for adoption in part because of those medical issues.  These things are present in a higher concentration among adoptees than the general public, which itself would lead to a higher risk of mental illness and suicide.  You are only looking at one factor, adoption, and making a simplistic correlation:  If X is with Y than Y is caused by X, ignoring factors A, B, C and Z.

Once more I want to freely admit that people can adopt for the wrong reasons.  Absolutely true.  But, how many people have babies for equally wrong reasons?  Which child has it better: the one who was adopted by a loving family because mom was a crack addict and got knocked up by her pimp, or a child conceived and kept by the biological mother so she could collect child support from the baby daddy?  Chances are, over all, the adopted child has it better.  While there is value in knowing where you come from, good or bad (think about the huge popularity of ancestry.com and similar sites, even if knowing your ancestors came from 20 different countries has no meaningful effect on your day to day life), it is not a magical panacea that cures all things. Often, that knowledge can be just as damaging, or moreso, than ignorance is.  Substitute “child” for “adoptee” in your comments above and the result would be equally true.  Not to mention you fail to consider the dynamic of “The Review.”  When you’re looking to purchase an item online, you will check the reviews to see what people think.  The problem here, is that, statistically, the only people who tend to comment are the ones who either had a GREAT experience with it and want to share, or the people who had a horrible experience and want to vent.  The vast majority don’t bother and continue on with their lives.  Only the vocal ones are seen and noted.  Its why anecdotal evidence is meaningless.  Now your statistical data has some value, but without a comparison to a control, it’s useless.  Some 30% or so of them have considered suicide in the past.  Ok, but what % of people in general consider suicide at some point in their life?  I did myself, and I’m not an adoptee.

Now to get to the issue that has me fired up.  That quote by Debbie and your claim that telling kids “the truth” that they aren’t special has some value.  Now I understand that what you mean is, telling kids they weren’t adopted BECAUSE they were special.  But saying that to a child, and telling them they were adopted because they weren’t wanted by their parents, and the adopted parents wanted them because they couldn’t have kids of their own is….is…

I want to be clear here. I am not using hyperbolic language. I am not trying to be dramatic.  I am giving my diagnosis of such an approach, as a mother with a teen daughter.

This.  Is.  Evil.  

And I don’t mean that in a nebulous, general sense.  I mean, telling that to a child, any child, at any age, or even an adult, is doing the literal Devil’s work.  This is beyond despicable, beyond selfish.  This is wicked, horrible, evil and cruel.

Now you and Debbie couch it in terms of, “well it’s just the truth, give up the fairy tale.”  No.  You are missing the point entirely.  Even if everything you said is technically true, and they were given up because their parents were horrible people, and they were adopted by horrible people, you’re still wrong.  Someone is not made special because of who gave birth to them or who adopted them. They aren’t made special by their family.  Every single woe you declare present in the life of an adopted child would be made worse by them hearing such a statement.

Now before you respond with indignation and outrage, saying “but what we really mean is…”  I want you to think about how this would sound if said to a non-adopted child.  Because in large part it can be.  Everything Debbie said could be applied to many children:

“You aren’t chosen, you aren’t special.  You were born even though your parents didn’t want you, couldn’t afford you, or were forced to.”  You can even riff off of this same idea with, “You were just born because your parents forgot to wear a condom, or Mommy was trying to get Daddy to marry her, or they were drunk one night, etc, therefor you aren’t special.”  Same exact energy.

If I said that to a child from the inner city, living with his single mother, you would be horrified. It doesn’t matter if I followed it up with a:  “Oh by the way, you’re not less than anyone else, you aren’t here because of a sin and you deserve to be here.”  The only thing you or that child is going to hear and remember is the first part, and it, quite frankly, refutes and negates anything said in the second half.  Saying that to a child will scar them.  Because, in fact, that child IS special, regardless of the circumstances of its birth.  And it quite likely is wrong anyways, since it’s based on a host of simplistic assumptions.

Seriously now, you talk about the hardships adoptees face due to their circumstances and you honestly believe telling a child, or even an adult, who is already struggling with self worth and their identity, what Debbie says, is going to help them?  Are you insane?  If someone is struggling with depression, will telling them they aren’t special, but buck up anyways, is going to help?  Will it help someone who is part of a population with 4X the suicide rate?  Will it help anyone?

The answer is no. Because it is a lie framed as a “brutal/honest truth,” and to say it to anyone, especially a child, is literally evil. Even if it WERE true, as the Bible says, “speak the truth in love.”  There is no love in that statement.  Adoptees face many struggle, by your own arguments.  You aren’t helping.

Questions 7, 20, and 28 for Charcoal and Cupid (who is so pretty btw oh man). And then I kinda want to ask A-J but that's a lot and you might want to talk about characters other than those two so... Wildcard A-J with wildcard characters...?

Cupid thinks he’s pretty too. He says you have good taste xD

7. What triggers nostalgia for them, most often? Do they enjoy that feeling?

Charcoal: Thinking, thinking, thinking. “I miss my old clan.” He started softly. “I’m from the Ashfall Waste, the Emberglow Hearth to be exact. I miss the dry air. The air isn’t dry, or heated, in the Labirynth. But the scouts bring food from there, and when we get to eat it, it tastes like home.”

Cupid: “Honey, my darling dear my little dandelion, I don’t focus on the past. I don’t miss anything! I have me and me alone and my two lovely little fae children and that’s all I need to get by in such a, ugly, clan.” 

20. If they were asked to explain the difference between romantic and platonic or familial love, how would they do so?

Charcoal: “Uhh.” The difference? “Well one is like me loving Carolina, because she’s from my old clan with me, so I love her like a sister. That’s familial love. Platonic is me loving my friends, like Carolina, because we’re from the same clan. Oh but she’s my sister so I can’t love her twice uh.. I guess... Mayall, is friendly love?” He had his arms cross before holding his chin, or the bottom of his beak (dragon physiology) with a claw. “So I guess romantic love would be who you’d want to make hatchlings with. I don’t have anyone like that.”

Cupid: The dragon watched the other one try to mentally work it out. Oh boy. “Love is a very complicated thing.” He butt in with a smile. “But in the end, all love is the same in the end.” He raised a claw. “Hard to believe, I know, but think about it. You need to love your friends to hang around them, you rarely ever find a mate unless you’re friends with them first, and even with family you hear the phrase ‘they’re like my best friend.’ You need to be friends with those you love, and it needs to be love. Sometimes we confuse love with obligatory feelings, like how you need to love your parents, but that’s not always the case, because if you ask Ranch, Honeydew, or Eggplant, parents can be absolute shit.” He stood straighter, wishing he had a board to help describe all of this. “So it starts at friendship, so to speak, all love in the end is platonic love of some sort, because you want to keep your friends in your life forever. The difference moving on is just trying to box in love. If you love your sibling like a friend, but also love your friend romantically, which love do you choose? It all gets very very complicated. However, I can agree that romantic love is a person you would like to get emotionally and physically closer to, someone who you can see a future with,” he motioned towards Charcoal. “Someone you would like to raise a family with.”

28. Would they prefer a lie over an unpleasant truth?

Charcoal: “An unpleasant truth. It’ll hurt or be awful but at least you know. You can move on when you know things.”

Cupid: A laugh left the spiral. “Oh honey, it’s definitely a lie. You can attract more flies with honey and all that. Keep your friends close and enemies closer, and lies are just the way to do that. After all, you think I like you!”

Charcoal: He looked down, unamused. “You don’t like anyone trust me this isn’t subtle.”

With your A-J questions, I’ll use each dragon starting a row!! c: I love Charcoal and Cupid but they’re not as super fleshed out as other dragons.

A) Why are you excited about this character?

As my Clan Leader, Cici has a lot of potential. If you’ve kept up with other asks, you’ve heard that people actually think PomeGrape is the head of the clan because he makes the decisions and orders people around, which then brings the question as to why Cici allows that and allows that belief to live while she’s also Clan Head. I’m not too sure myself why she does it yet, but Pome always does come to her for final decisions, as do other dragons as well. So they know she’s clan head but they just like Pome more. I think she lets him be the figurehead the face of leadership, when she does most of it. We haven’t delved a lot into her backstory yet (especially since she’s my progen) but there’s definitely a lot of potential with her that I can’t wait to unlock!

B) What inspired you to create them?

So Honeydew is actually one of the few dragons to have some decent lore (at least decent in terms of how much there is). His father is the same as Ranch’s, making them half-brothers, and when my friend told me that Felix hatched another nest and asked if I wanted any, I had to look. Her Felix is know for being pretty gaudy, pretty full of himself (a lot like Cupid) so I figured, since him and his wife are both really bright yellows, Honey, who seemed a little less bright, would get thrown out. From there I knew he would be a lot different from his brother, and I really wanted Ranch to get out of his scared depressed state too, so raising someone who was his opposite was the surefire way to do that! I like character growth where I can get it.

C) Did you have trouble figuring out where they fit in their own story?

PomeGrape definitely had some rocky beginnings, he was a gift from a friend and he was supposed to be really cold and really mean and turns out he’s anything but that. So it was harder to develop his personality than it actually was his role. He sort of fell into his role of ‘organizing the life of the clan’ but since he was pretty solitary, I had to find reasons for other dragons to visit him. Turns out he’s a pretty nice dude. He ended up good thanks to his mate. 

D) Have they always had the same physical appearance, or have you had to edit how they look?

HA YES I WAS HOPING THIS QUESTION WOULD LINE UP WITH ILIANA. Okay so Iliana is actually an original character of mine!! Her original appearance, as a human, which is what she is originally is based off Saoirse Ronan in Hanna. She’s a clone set in an xmen universe and she’s always been somewhat shy, sticking close to one person. To transfer that Iliana to dragon form was hard because she’s such a soft, gentle, very kind girl who was put through very cruel and unusual situations but still came out very nice. I wanted her coloring and her breed to reflect that, but I could never scry anything perfect. I forgot how I ended up finding the nocturne that is now dragon Iliana. I really don’t remember what I was looking for but I saw her and it wasn’t even a second guess I just immediately bought her for all the treasure she was worth. She still looked very soft and very gentle and very princess-like, but I’ve been saving up for a skin from here because dragon Iliana does go through the coliseum a lot with her now-girlfriend Georgiana, and it hasn’t been very kind to her.

E) Are they someone you would get along with? Would they get along with you?

Frir is an odd dragon. When I first joined FR I really really loved snaps so I was disappointed when I couldn’t make a snap, and he was donated to me. Naturally I loved his appearance half to death because I love brightly colored dragons but I never knew what to do with him, and I still don’t. I just know he’s mute, he follows Mayall around a lot (technically they’re dating) and he likes to go scavenging. I don’t think I’d get along with him, because I love to talk a lot and I love the conversation that happens, but I think Frir could get along with anyone. He’s a very loving dragon who cares about everyone.

F) What do you feel when you think of your OC (pride, excitement, frustration, etc)?

So, Phosphorescence makes me feel.... I’m not sure. I kinda want to hate him but I don’t? He doesn’t have the same pack-mentality the other mirrors have. If anything he displays none of the mirror traits of bloodthirsty-ness and needing to survive. He does eat a lot but he’s managed it, especially in Viridian Labyrinth where there’s never a lack of food. But I feel bad for him, because he can’t relate to other mirrors, so he’s sort of friendless because that mirror stereotype is applied to him when he doesn’t fit it at all. He ends up working at night, because he glows in the dark so helps lost dragons find their way back, or helps Minnie and Carolina with plants that can only be obtained at night. 

G) What trait of theirs bothers you the most?

So Heng is a recently created dragon (because her and Jian are part of my breeding project for another oc dragon) and I think what bothers me about her the most (aside from my lack of giving her lore) is that she seems really clever very early on. Or really possessive. She works as an acolyte for the demigod Jian, so she spends a lot of her time with him and she swears she loves him, but something about her just rubs me wrong, like, I know she doesn’t have good intentions but I haven’t figured them out yet.

H) What trait do you admire most?

Ugh, Anteros. He’s technically one of Cupid’s adopted kids but like all faes in my clan, he has a really hard time speaking the common tongue that larger dragons share, because faes mainly communicate body language through their head frills. And with a slightly neglectful dad (cupid swears he loves them, but their ideas aren’t always up to cupid standards) he’s sort of been sitting and doing nothing with his sister a lot. I guess I admire the way he cares for his sister and helps her out despite their circumstances. Cupid’s not a bad dad, but he’s not great. Anteros prefers to be alone because of it, but him and his sister will go talk to the other faes to get some socialization and understanding what’s going on. He’s learning to be independent, that’s what I like.

I) Do you prefer to keep them in their canon universe?

HA. No. So Calzone is originally a subspecies of dragon called ‘Pizza Dragons.’ Which means, logically, he should be made of pizza. But lord knows I only loved calzone for his genes and not for his ‘canon lore.’ So I threw him out of it and made him the exalter of the clan instead. I loved the genes but not the lore. He’s actually friends with Chikan. 

J) Did you have to manipulate or exclude canon factors to allow them to create their character?

Ugh, Lamp. So the thing with Lamp is that she’s for sale. I love her, I love her genes, I love the potential she holds, but I cannot for the life of me think of any lore or dress her but god I love her half to death. I haven’t created anything for her. I don’t know how. I love her and want to keep her but I don’t know how or what to create. I have scraps at best and nothing at worst.
