hm okay let's see
how about new parent regulus sending harry to bed with a bedtime story or song and james sobbing in the doorway because regulus is such a good dad already
Ohhhh we're back for the fluff my dears!! with love
Oh Baby (1/1) (jegulus)
The thing about being a new parent is that you have absolutely know idea what you are doing. James can certainly attest to that, and while Regulus wouldn't admit it, it's been hard learning a whole new person.
Harry was still so small, but seemed to know who his Papa was and who his Dad was. Harry would snuggle up to Regulus and cuddle up with James, and fake sleep and then giggle when James tried to put him down, and stick his little hand out when Regulus paused reading.
But the thing about having Harry is that James was so emotional. He was exhausted and drained, and trying to soak up every second of these precious moments. This often made it so he would cry a lot easier at much smaller things for no real reason.
Which is exactly what was happening now. He was leaning against the doorframe, watching Regulus rock Harry softly in his arms, singing a French lullaby as Harry drifted off to sleep.
Regulus didn't notice really until he had put Harry in his crib and started to sneak away slowly that James had tears rolling down his cheeks.
He pushed him into the hall and closed Harry's door lightly. "What's wrong?" Regulus asked wrapping James in a hug.
"Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I couldn't be happier actually."

Danny 'I don't do weird' Pink frustrates me as a character, because I'm honestly not sure whether he was supposed to have an arc or not.
His primary role is as a foil for Clara's arc and, in aid of that, as a mirror to the Doctor. A solider with survivor's guilt and a man of action who can't stand by when people need help etc., in some ways he and the Doctor have a lot in common, but he's also a very grounded and circumspect personality versus the Doctor's being fantastical and adventurous. Danny isn't curious and doesn't want to pursue new things or experiences, instead he wants to be fully present with and grateful for what he already has. The Doctor is incorrigibly curious and always interested in new things.
Danny is someone who desires nothing more than an ordinary life, and looks for beauty and satisfaction in the normal things and people around him. He wants his world to be small and quiet, he values the mundane things others might take for granted. He's normal, patient, dependable, simple, honest, etc. His reaction to trauma hasn't been to disavow the things which lead him to that event, or to seek out stimulation to avoid thinking about it, it's to be thoughtful and cautious and somewhat rigid so he can always apply the mindset and skills he retained from before he was traumatised.
He's very firm and unbending in his worldview and in his self-image. He doesn't seem to ever reassess people once he's decided what he thinks of them. He's not unreasonable or unwilling to compromise, he is in fact maybe too reasonable, but he is implastic. He's extremely even-tempered except for around his identity as a soldier, which he's prickly about, but still pretty quick to let it go as long as he's not being deliberately antagonised.
So anyway Danny represents this other path, and this opposite response to the horror of war and making a catastrophic mistake, but he never learns, he never grows and he and Clara are never much on the same wavelength about anything. He's supposed to be stability, the things she 'should' want, the 'person she's supposed to like', the safe choice, the presentable life which Clara feels like she has to have. He's orderly and ordinary and that's what she wants from him. She has to control her image, her future, and her options.
And their simple relationship, once it exists, functions well as the contrast to her complicated and tumultuous relationship with the Doctor while the companion power dynamic is being dismantled and rebuilt so they can be emotional equals. But like, the set up is confusingly executed.
Listen- they have zero chemistry, they have nothing to talk about and have to resort to talking about work, every conversation goes instantly off the rails, they rub each other the wrong way, there is never any reason for them to keep reconciling and trying again to connect. Like. You are not hitting it off! and keep offending each other bc you're not compatible! Quit!!
Clara is forcing it, that makes complete sense with what she's going through, she's trying to take control of her life and her emotions, trying to prove to herself she's not pining for the Doctor and at the mercy of his whims for her life to be full and complete. She doesn't want to need him or to be dependant on him. She doesn't want to be the heartbroken sadsack whom he abandoned at Christmas or who will take whatever scraps he'll throw her. She wants to control his position in her life and control how she feels about him. Hence her assigning him a specific day and confining their adventures on her own terms. She's trying to keep the Doctor compartmentalised. Having an Appropriate Human Relationship means she's successfully put the Doctor in his box (lol) and neutralised the chaotic power of her feelings for him. I mean, obviously not, but that's what she tells herself.
But what is Danny doing? Why does he keep pursuing this when it's so clearly not a good match?
Again in Listen, and much more so The Caretaker, Danny illustrates that he does not know who Clara is, he's wildly wrong about her and what she's like, and he's very high handed about it as well. He's convinced that the Doctor is taking advantage of her, that the Doctor is domineering in their relationship, that she is not a person who wants to be put into challenging or dangerous positions, that the Doctor is pushing her to takes risks and become a leader where that's not her nature. None of this is true. Clara was always a decisive, assertive, strongly driven person who seeks out new experiences and naturally assumes a leadership role any time that's necessary; she relishes being challenged and facing the unknown. Her blow up with the Doctor wasn't about him 'pushing her too far', it was about him failing to support her when she needed him and condescending to her as a human rather than treating her with the intimacy and equity their bond and history together demands. It's personal and it's about their emotional relationship. It's not about making hard choices, it's about having to make hard choices without her partner being honest with and emotionally available to her.
Clara was always an adventurous person, willing to be spontaneous as long as it's on her terms, and excited by the prospect of authority and responsibility. The danger and challenge isn't an unfortunate side effect or a risk she has to take to see amazing sights, it's part of the appeal. She lied to Danny by omission when she said she went off in the box to 'see wonders', not just because the real reason is that she's in love with Doctor, but also because she doesn't just want to be a tourist. She wants to get involved and save people, she wants things to sometimes go pear shaped. She enjoys and craves that part of it too.
Danny is also wildly wrong about the Doctor, but this is understandable and would be fine except that he's never corrected? He never learns better? What's the point?
In Death in Heaven Danny goes out still wrong about the Doctor, still condemning him cruelly and unfairly while knowing nothing about him. He had a point with his original rant, there was actual insight there, but it's buried in assumptions and bitterness and then Danny keeps tripling down on the assumption. The one which doesn't understand that the very thing he's shitting on the Doctor for (being willing to lead and make hard choices which must be made in order to save people) is something the Doctor has in common with Clara. And always has. The Doctor didn't change her or push her into that, that's who she's always been.
What is the point of Danny calling him a blood-soaked general and mocking him, calling him an officer as a pejorative again, and again because the Doctor is trying to save the planet. Like, memory check, that's what Danny is mad about. The Doctor doing everything in his power to save literal billions of lives. Doing it for no reason, out of altruism. Doing it while always trying very hard not to fight or kill anyone.
I don't understand how we're meant to find Danny sympathetic in that moment, because he comes off like a complete dickhead. And it's all the more frustrating because in the intervening episodes Danny has been eminently reasonable. As I've discussed before, we're exhaustively shown that Danny is 100% okay with what Clara claims is going on, that he doesn't want to get in the way of her friendship with the Doctor, that if it really were only the relationship she's pretending it is, there would be no conflict. He's the one who encourages her to make up with him after Kill the Moon! He tells her to go on travelling and it's fine!
Even when he discovers she's been lying to him and cavorting with the Doctor behind his back (again despite him telling her it was fine!), he's calm and repeats for the millionth time that all he wants from her is honesty. The truth. Which is the one thing she can't give him because Clara knows their relationship is built on the lie. The truth is, as Moffatt said, that Danny never stood a chance. There is a conflict between the two relationships and she's always going to choose the Doctor.
And that does come out, she gives the whole speech to Danny, not knowing it's him, finally being honest. And he seems unsurprised by it, which makes sense because on some level he definitely always knew ('do you love him?' 'no' 'really sick of the lies'), but then nothing comes of it. Clara just soldiers on and he allows her to pretend. He goes off on the Doctor, but not in a way he actually deserves at all, and just sweeps her confession under the carpet. Letting her get away with it again. True to form, I guess! he always did. But shouldn't we make progress?
And it's like... I hate that he dies on that note. It feels like he dies in denial. I guess you could argue it contributes to his decision to not come back, but that feels like a disservice to the character. Saving the kid is important to Danny, it allows him to atone but he didn't need to change or grow to accomplish that and it doesn't provide closure to his actual role in the narrative, which was as Clara's foil. Clara is off the hook, free to go on lying to herself about their relationship. It's not addressed in Last Christmas, either, it's only hinted at.

something something episode six something something about how so far the show seems to be saying that people can grow and change, that being a bad or good person isnt eternal at all which makes the concept of hell and heaven eternal punishment or eternal bliss is stupid and unfair
#hazbin hotel#something something how it can be implied that adam couldve been a good person in his life#'well he is the first soul that got to heaven' as a response to him giving out nasty vibes as an implication that he couldve been good once#something something 'heaven and hell is eternal'#something about how he could not want to admit that angel changing and becoming a good person means that hed be deserving to go to heaven#because 'he only had one life' something about him thinking whaever people do after it doesnt matter#something about him not really knowing what makes a good person to begin with but still in some level what if he knew he spent his life#being good and like if a bad person in hell can change and go to heaven what if someone who was good in their life can change in end up in#hell what if part of the reason he doesnt want angel to go to heaven and leave that up to what they did in their life#is because adam doesnt want to risk going to hell 'i dont know thats what i did' what if he doesnt know what made him a good person#but knows that he was good and doesnt know if he stayed good and thats why he doesnt want wheater someone is still being bad or good to#determine where they Should be thus creating that heaven and hell is eternal thing#also something about how adam putting sticking it to the man as what got him good enough to go to heaven while it was what#got lucifer to go to hell 'asking questions' part of that burried unsecurity of what makes someone good#also something about how angeldust is already being called angel how thats his nickname maybe foreshadowing but as for now it kinda just#adds to that subconscious factor of connecting him and angels and the current eps thingy of how he should be in heaven of how he checked al#those boxes#also it wouldve been funny if angel just flat out just portalled to heaven after cherri said the thing about how#'this hotel stuff if working for him' like Good Job Angel !

Appletun from Pokemon
Tumblr media
APPLETUN FROM POKEMON (GEN8)
from @readysetgargoyle
Design; 9/10 - OMG ITS A MCDONALDS APPLE PIE!! freshly baked good boy. The little apple covering its eyes I'm just AUGH cause it matches applin!! the little paws. Just a baby dragon who got baked into a pie. Also it's still apple shaped with leaves on the top!! That's really cool!
Purpose/Effectiveness; 10/10 - as a grass/dragon type, I think it works really well. I'm not good with pokemon stats so i cant speak on that but I think the design conveys the typing really well. The apple motif is obviously grass, and the little lizard parts gives it the dragon it needs. Anyways it's my new favorite dragon type thank you for showing it to me :)
Overall; 9.5/10 - the cooler flapple.

wait i just had a random idea but i think it's amazing
james introducing regulus to a really random ice cream flavor that his rich and spoiled ass has never heard of before
hello! yes we want the fluff! How cute! with love
Sweet Treat (1/1) (jegulus | raising harry)
"Dad? Why does Papa not know bubblegum?" Harry said bright green eyes looking up at him, with his tiny hands still pressed on the glass of the display case.
James looked at his son and then at Regulus, trying to see if he was just joking with Harry or not. All James saw was confusion and curiosity searching over all the flavours in the shoppe.
"Wait why do you look so confused?"
"I didn't know ice cream came in so many flavours..." Regulus whispered in awe. "I thought it was just vanilla, chocolate, or fraise," he said accent heavy on the fruit.
Harry giggled and pulled on James' shirt, "papa said strawberry dad," bright smile on his face.
"Yes thank you for translating," James said and rolled his eyes but the fondness was clear.
"Well love, which should I try?" Regulus said looking at Harry.
Harry pointed to all the flavours calling them out one by one, until he reached a prailine one and said "but not that one, Il-y-a des noix and personne aime ca," Harry explained.
"I don't think Papa wants every flavour Haz," James said.
The cashier came over to them, "what can I get for you?" They asked.
Harry jumped up, "bubblegum! Please!" he squeaked.
"Yes one kiddie size of the bubblegum, and I'll do a moosetracks, and?" James looked at Regulus but his eyes were wide in indecision.
You pick, he mouthed, and James nodded.
"And..." James ran his eyes over the flavours again. "Ahh yes, the caramel cappuccino please. And that's all thank you," James finished their order.
They went to sit outside, where there were small tables with umbrellas covering them from the beating sun.
Harry made a mess quickly but he was just a boy, and he was so happy neither parent could care.
"Try," James said holding out his cone to Regulus who took a small bite.
"Hmmm peanutbuttery," Regulus commented. "That's quite nice," he added savouring the end notes.
He held up his own and then looked back at James' "I think I like this one better. It has little ribbons of crunch in it. Who knew ice cream could be so wild," Regulus said still mesmerized.
And while James laughed, he was just as mesmerized by Regulus as any other daily occurrence, like ice cream.

I saw your tags about how you think Vio is not heroic when he tells Shadow why he IS a hero, and now the idea will not leave my brain. You are so correct. This is the best understanding of Vio's actions that I have ever seen.
YEAYEAHYEAHYRAH . OH MY GOD . the whole fucking speech about heroism and then they all blast shadow to bits or whatever. oh my god. its such a . brutal contrast to me.
"but as a hero, i never strayed from my hopes and my goals" oh my god VIO. VIO.VIO CRUSHING HIM IN MY FUCKING HANDS. YOURE DEFINING THIS AS AN IMMUTIBLE TRAIT . SOMETHING YOURE BORN AS . RATHER THAN A COLLECTION OF ACTIONS OF MORALS . AS IF CHANGE IN THE FACE OF CONTEXT IS NONHEROIC. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT SHADOW PROVES ***WRONG*** LATER. i love violet link. i love his flaws. im actually shaking him around. BLOOD. i love how vio is flat and unmoving in his belief here, and shadow is angry and hurt and visibly emotional, and shadow still gets to be in the right!!! even though he was deeply flawed and handled everything very messily, (and also BECAUSE shadow handles things emotionally) he changes his actions! and proves himsrlf a hero!!!!!!explo

I just thought of an alternate version of the apartment scene where it diverts when Sam, mindy and Anika are in Quinn’s room and Tara is pounding on the door. Upon hearing Tara at the door and her desperate pleas for Sam and chad saying he was going to get help Ghostface opens the apartment door suddenly dragging Tara in with him and locking Chad out. Idk the logistics if this tbh but shhh….. ghostface then uses Tara to threaten Sam, knowing she’d do anything for Tara. Idk how it would exactly continue for there but it would be interesting to see how Sam would cope. Andthen it can get all angsty with Sam’s constant guilt and her prioritising Tara over everyone and people getting hurt and Tara feeling guilty.
Chad says he's going to get help, and begins leaping back down the stairs. Tara's resorted to trying to kick the door down at this point, and switches to preparing to shoulder it. Just as she hits the door, it flies open and she goes crashing to the floor. By the time she's flipped herself over, it's to the sight of Ghostface towering above her and hands reaching down. One covers her mouth and the other digs a knife into her shoulder.
Inside the bedroom, the other 3 are catching their breath, cautious of the sudden silence and not ready to let their guard down. The ladder is across the window, and Sam's about to try and send Anika across when she hears a voice call out from the other side of the door.
"Samaaanntthhhaa..."
Oh good, Ghostface is still here, in case they were worried it would be that easy. Sam nods to the ladder and mouths at them to go, quickly.
"You really should keep your guard dog on a leash. You know what they do to dogs that bite? They put them down."
Ghostface removes their gloved hand from Tara's mouth and stabs down again, cutting across the existing wound. Sam hears a scream that is distinctly Tara, and doesn't even think twice, reaching for the door.
Mindy surges forward to grab her around her middle and try to hold her back. "You can't! You can't, Sam!" Sam struggles against Mindy's arms, "Tara's out there, he's got Tara!"
"Do you think I'm not worried for Chad?! This is what Ghostface wants, he wants you to open the door, what if it's a trap?"
"Then it's a fucking trap," Sam declares, escaping Mindy's grasp. She rips open the door to see her sister on the floor with a knife in her shoulder. Ghostface has one knee on her chest and a hand around her throat, Tara's hands are latched onto his wrists in an effort to remove him.
"How nice of you to finally join us, Samantha. Where are your friends?"
The banging against the bathroom door begins again.
"Oh, I invited a friend over too, I hope that's ok?"
Mindy throws herself back against the drawers holding back the bathroom door, Sam is frozen in front of the open bedroom door, and Anika is crying on the bed.
"Sam, please," Mindy cries out as the door opens wider and wider with every push. The Ghostface in front of her puts a single finger on the knife in Tara and tilts it. Her sister's pained groan has her leaping forward at Ghostface, who throws themself backwards, yanking the knife out in the same movement.
Mindy begs Anika to go, Danny is yelling from across the window. Anika stands, but she doesn't head for the window, she slumps across the drawers next to Mindy and tells her she needs to go, that she's not gonna make it, she's lost too much blood. Please, Anika begs, please go. "I don't want you to die," Mindy cries. "I don't want to die either," Anika whispers, "I love you." Mindy surges forward to kiss her and repeats it back to her. "Promise you'll try to follow me," she begs. "I will," Anika answers.
Mindy crosses, Anika tries, Ghostface flips the ladder.
Sam fights with Ghostface, and the pained scream from nearby gives Ghostface the upper hand, knife slicing across her arm. Sam trips back and then Ghostface is thrown to the side as Tara barrels into them. Sam scrambles up from the floor, grabbing at Tara's hand and they run for the door.

I was trying to clean my keyboard because I realized that I had not cleaned under the keys even once in the almost 10 years I've had this computer and I took a couple keys off and then realized I couldn't get them back on. I can't figure it out no matter how hard I tried and the whole time I was just terrified that my parents would be mad at me. I don't think I've felt that in a while
