#i'm playing catch up rn

[blu3cl0v3rs]

Summary: Garmadon and Co. move into the monastery.

Warnings: Wu is in denial

Prompt: New Beginnings

Extra: Set in pre-canon. "And Co." are Ray, Maya, Libber, and Lily. Wu is in denial of being a father, but Ray and Garmadon will not shut up about it. I am sleepy so this probably sounds a bit dead.

"So this is what you've been doing in my absence?" Garmadon asked after he knocked on a giant red door of the Monastery.

He had walked in on Wu as he guided Morro through proper katana form.

The brother's locked eyes.

"Morro, you've done a great job today, but I think we're done for now. Do you mind cleaning up everything?" the blonde asked kindly.

Morro simply bowed and dragged the training dummy and bokken to their respective storage places, disappearing into the monastery afterwards.

Garmadon approached his younger brother. The two stood face to face, tension thickening the air as silence flowed between the two.

"Is this the boy you've been writing about?" the elder brother asked.

"Yes, that was Morro." The younger brother confirmed. "Where are the other four?"

"They are… coming." The brunette turned to the stairs, where spiky brown hair popped up from a distance. "It has been a long journey."

"I see. Good thing Morro and I prepared rooms for you all ahead of time." Wu stepped forwards to be next to the taller man.

The two stood in weighted silence.

The eldest sighed, "I missed you, Brother."

"As did I." The younger quickly brushed off any dirt accumulated from training.

Ray clambered up the stairs, huffing with each step he took. Maya, Libber, and Lily followed up behind. All of them at different levels of exhaustion, ranging from Libber, who was bent over with her hands on her knees gasping for air as fat beads of sweat dripped down her round pale cheeks and thin neck, to Lily, who was slightly winded as she dabbed sweat off her brow and jogged up and down the same three steps, giving encouraging words to the other women with her.

"Why," Ray asked through labored breaths, "do you live on top of a mountain?"

The blonde man smiled, "There's a nice view."

"Eughhh… I need… a bath," Libber groaned as she collapsed against the wall of the monastery, scooching over to a shaded area.

"Same, I forgot how tall this mountain was," Maya agreed.

"Oh come on, it wasn't that bad," Lily received two deadpan stares.

"Maybe for you because you love rock climbing," Libber grumbled before slouching inside to bathe. Maya and Lily followed suit.

Ray straightened up eventually. "So, where's your kid, Wu?"

"What?"

"Your kid. Y'know, agh what was the name, Mollo? No, Mono? Ah, Morro!"

"Wha- hah! Morro is not my kid."

"You sure, Brother?" Garmadon piped up. "You seem quite fond of him."

"I can be fond of a child without adopting him! Besides, he's only my student."

"Sure, because you definitely wrote about discovering his favorite food like he's your student," Ray rolled his amber eyes. "Just accept it, you're a father now."

"Which means I'm an uncle as well," Garmadon quietly realized.

"Again, Morro is just my student. Besides, there's no way he sees me as a fa-"

"Sensei."

The three men turned to see their topic of discussion waiting patiently by a door into the building.

"Excuse me for interrupting, but I completed my task," the boy said after he came over.

"Good job! Let's go inside now, okay?" the younger Dragoni crouched to be closer to Morro's eye level.

The boy with a green streak nodded happily and softly made his way back into the temple.

Ray and Garmadon shared a look as Wu rose to his full height and followed, waving the two over.

"Not a father, he says," Ray mumbled before heading inside with Garmadon.

When a character has the most intriguing backstory and piques your interest but you haven't even gotten to see the character fight

#legends of avantris #finally found a DnD podcast that absolutely delights me and isn't tarnished by my ex #on episode 5 rn and only just saw this backstory blurb and I had to pause cause that's so fucking interesting to me #and yeah in five episodes there hasn't been any combat but honestly hadn't even noticed until the blurb mentioned him fighting with chains #pretty sure there's like 50+ episodes out already so i have a lot to catch up on lmao #I'm very excited to see some fighting #kee speaks #BUT LIKE #Fire genasi forced to power a train?? He uses the chains that bound him to the chain to fight?? #I want to read some backstory about how that captivity happened and how he got out #(also the guy that plays him has the best character voice for him and his laughter is the best)

"You have to study to get better at art" TRUE BUT CONSIDER: I don't wanna 🫠

#toast talks #studying art is amazing and extremely helpful HOWEVER #I want to be good at art NOW!!!! #something that I have to keep reminding myself of is that I wasn't really supported when I wanted to be an artist when I was younger #so I feel like I'm playing catch up a LOT. #But I'm friends with some amazing artists that are always there to help m out and guide me when I need it and like #It makes a world of difference to have someone actually give constructive criticism instead of 'why are you drawing that weird shit' #idk how I got on that topic. I just wanna go draw rn and not be at work

Once again experiencing the fun if slightly frustrating adventure when playing RPGs to find your character's Actual Outfit

#wandering over the words #August plays games #catch me literally making my V drive to every clothing store in the game to find Clothes #so quick might I add that my game struggled to load several times nrngrngn #just fucking launching myself at the counter wheezing like ''DO YOU HAVE COOL CLOTHES'' #sorry Takemura!! can't help you rn buddy!! I'm having a ~FASHION MONTAGE~ #my boy's been running after you lot all this time!! he's having some ME TIME!!! #(I already found his chosen weapon and vehicle now I need his clothes nrngn #I'm closer to finding The One. he now actually has the vibe I want him to have but they're not The Actual Clothes yet. #I allowed myself to look up the clothes in the game so I know. some examples of what I want.)

#nothing really happened - work and the house just got on top of me. #for context i was promoted to a management position in october and i hit my stride so i have a lot of responsibilities and i'm hhh. #having to play catch up in terms of skillset. i'm good at my job but i'm not the best - therefore ? i must keep pushing :y #as for home... Man (horse.jpg) #we bought a house a year ago. i envy people who renovate days after moving in. we're a year in and i'm only just redoing the kitchen floor #after a leak that happened in JUNE 2022. it's expensive as fuck and takes so much time. #i'm so fortunate to be able to afford a house but like. i won't lie. it's really hard having to be responsible for everything that goes #wrong with it. my kitchen has been subfloor for months. we destroyed our kitchen island trying to make room for the floor to be done #so we're down storage and stuff is just piling up. eh i know this is like. first world problem and really not a big deal. #but when your house is in disrepair because you don't have the money to fix it quickly or time to do it yourself. shit's hard. #anyway this is a rant. don't want a wrench or a tissue- just wanna get it out. #[puts on pantalone hat] i have money anxiety too #like i earn the most i've ever earned. i won't really get much higher than this atm. i'm due a bonus and i can cash out my shares #but fixing up the house is so expensive. i'm worried i'm gonna lose it all somehow. idfk why. when things are going well i worry i'm gonna #lose it all somehow. growing up poor does a number on your resource guarding. if i spend a penny I Will Lose It All. #' dima why do you like pantalone so much ' HE JUST LIKE ME FRRRR #sry this is a ramble . i treat tumblr tags like my diary but i hope you enjoyed the read xoxox #anyways! point is! i'm alive! i'm itching to come back but i dont have the mental space for fun rn. #can't have fun until i feel safe enough to have fun if that makes sense. #aight byeee

@royalreef from [Here]

|| 🔷 ||: ❝ I... I see... ❞

It was oddly pretty, the way the strands hanging from the knots were waving in the wind. The decoration- or warning, now that she'd been informed- adding that splash of color to the otherwise normal brown and green scenery of the woods.

Her curiosity was piqued, how part of her wanted to brave the warning to discover it's meaning, but the princess had made it clear going that way was... not the best idea.

|| 🔷 ||: ❝ We can go a different path, there's a split back the way we came that should lead to the same place... ❞

She turns her head to look at her companion, tilting her head quizzically,

Supes grateful for Reddit GI and HSR players bc without them, I genuinely would not know nor understand half of the lore these games have

#like i'm just reading about the cloud knight quintet rn and playing catch up on dan feng's “crimes” and bawling a lil #but seriously without them i'd be so lost bc i don't always have time to engage with all the interactables in the game :'( #nor would i really know where to look if i did?? like specifically?? #anyway the shit 1.2 brought also brought me great pain which i am using as fuel for TZUA yayayay #✦ jaid plays honkai.

if i had a nickel for every time a fave of mine has been some blond gay gay homo gay badass and bad bitch who can be deadly af, is good with handguns, good at close combat, has dozens of dangerous men under his command, has a soft side that he will show only to those few that he wants to show it to, falls deeply in love with the buff brunet bisexual guy who kicked his ass in front of his men, then forms a deep and close bond with said brunet bi guy whose name starts with Jo and develops a Very Ambiguous relationship with him, devotes his life to him and remains loyal to him and him only for the rest of his life, always doing everything in his power and beyond to ensure the wellbeing of his beloved and protect his legacy...

...i would have two nickels, which is not a lot, but it's such a Very Specific combination that its actually weird that it's happened twice
