She tore across the fields, the deserts and the oceans. She destroyed villages, cities and empires. She jumped across planets and worlds, ravaging, killing, burning. Nothing could stop a woman with such rage in her soul.
And a mother’s wrath in her bones.
It had been peaceful. An out of the way back world planet, green and bright. An oasis form of the planet earth. And it was a secret. A secret she kept between her and her child. A little boy, sweet as can be. With swirling black curls atop his head and big honey brown eyes, he’d stare at the only home he knew with playful awe. He’d dance while she tended to the garden, sing as they walked the wood’s paths. He’d ask a million questions about a million things, and she rarely grew tired of it. He filled her days with entertainment and happiness, and she filled his with knowledge and play.
But all good things end. That is the universe’s constant cycle. She came back from a mountainous trip to find her home ravaged, and her boy gone. She tore through the ruins, a woman of green spirits no longer. Now, she was fire and brimstone. A mountain of storm.
It didn’t take long for her to find the tracks. She called back to her dark past, the one she ran from to keep her child in a net of safety. It only did so much good. So she called back that dragon fire fury of her warrior days, and hunted down those scavenging fools who’d taken her only treasure.
And caught them she did. She stormed their ship, all metal and fang, claw and bullet, sweeping through them like a hurricane. Blood and carcasses painted the bridge in eerie art.
But she did not find her boy. However, She did find her next target. And it would not be long until they’d tasted the rage of her blades.
So beware the venomous scorn of a woman.
And the hellfire of a mother’s wrath.

dude i'm not even a maternal person (so much that it's an inside joke in my family) but the thought of one of my f/os taking care of a baby... GOT DAMN DOES IT MAKE ME FLUSTERED. Just thought of it being early morning the 3 of you just waking up and your f/o laying on the bed with the baby (either yours or maybe even just babysitting) and your f/o rolls over to face the baby and softly kisses the baby's forehead making them both giggle... SIGN ME UP BRO.

Sometimes it’s so hard having a human body but an animal mind. Especially a birds mind. 
My vulture instincts stress me out sometimes so much that I have shift panic attacks, if that’s a thing. I can tell it’s going to rain, I feel it in my feathers. My wings try to get me off the ground, but I can’t fly. I’m so stressed out, I need my mate, I need to be in my nest, I don’t feel safe. I feel as if I stay here, in school, in America, I could die. The rain isn’t fit for my feathers. I need to be high up, back in my nest, on my eggs. My wings are tired of trying to get this body off the ground. They crave for the warmth of my mate as we cuddle in our nest. They crave to teach my chicks to fly. They crave to spread and fly over the blue seas. 
Being in this building isn’t my home, my home is so far away. I just want to go home. 
I’m honestly thinking of getting myself a chick or cub because my mother instincts have been so strong lately. I crave to keep my cubs or chicks close.
If anyone can relate or has anything to say please reblog or send inbox things for me TwT /nf, pos, gen

Fun with nature
The whole family had been working so hard lately, and fearing burnout; Bruce decided that it was the perfect time for a family vacation. They all picked a place they wanted to go and after some debating they decided on visiting the family cabin in the mountains of Colorado.
Everything was nice. The family were together, having fun. Being in nature and trying to get along. It was nice. It was peaceful.
For about three days.
That's how long it took them to notice that something wasn't quite right. It started with Damian noticing a green bird following them on a hike.
At first he thought it might have been Garfield, but when he got a good look at it through a pair of binoculars. He saw that the bird had six red eyes and feathers that made it look like it was on fire!
He notified the others and that was when other animals started appearing. First a Mole that would pop out of its hole just to stare at them. Then a Chipmunk hidden in the bushes, scurrying around and following them around the yard.
Damian and Tim both swore they saw it on two separate occasions somewhere in the cabin. Things were getting weird, and they were about to get weirder.
The next thing they knew they woke up to the AC unit having been cut off. Only to find that the wires were not only chewed through but the unit had been moved to the tree line. 20 paces away.
Later, after they fixed it; they were playing board games when they heard loud crashes and what sounded like tearing metal. Once outside they see all their cars vandalized.
Every window was smashed in. The paint scratched and they were covered in random punctures as if they were shot at.
It was escalating. Someone was watching them, spying on them and they wanted them to leave.
But why?!
It all came to a head when a redheaded woman in a blue hazmat suit wielding a machete and her teenage son came out of the woods. Telling them about how their plane crashed and asking them to use a phone.
- Instead of ending up at Vlads Mountain Chalet, Maddie and Danny run into the Waynes on vacation during the events of the episode Maternal Instincts.

Telling me my pup is a stuffed animal isn't the "gotcha" you think it is. I am fully aware she is a stuffed toy. I call her my pup as a coping mechanism because I cannot have children. Combined with physical problems that lead me to suspect I am infertile, as well as mental and other physical aspects, I cannot handle the toll a living child would have on me, not to mention I cannot even take care of myself.
Listen to others before you throw things at them. Have an ounce of decent respect for a moment before you wind up getting yourself in deep shit.

You know, hypothetically, I could have a child Ruby's age. (Sure, I would have died in childbirth at the age of ten but I got my period like 2 weeks after I turned 10, so it was possible for me to get knocked up) So like, this whole "legend of ruby Sunday" shit is freaking me out on a maternal level. She's so dead.

Just rewatched maternal instincts in Xena and man, this episode really rips my heart out. First of all the crumbling of Xena and Gabrielle's relationship is heartbreaking. But what really gets to me is Solan's death. At least Xena and Gabi make up in the bitter suite, but Solan? He doesn't come back (yes i know we see him in the underworld but he never gets to come back to life). My poor boy. My poor sweet Solan <3
Just imagine if he had lived and got to travel with Xena and Gabrielle. He would have become a great warrior, and a great big brother to Eve. Sigh, it's just so sad to think about

being transmasc and having such a high, distinctly maternal drive is so weird.
like I'm just a dude and mommy, and the dissonance it puts me through is wild.

what do you mean I don't have maternal instincts?
I too obsessively play Candy Crush to deal with the stresses of life.

The Child
While I was watching “Maternal Instincts,” something that I’ve not seen asked anywhere else nagged me a lot: Why did Hope knowing Solan’s name give her away as being his killer?
Tumblr media
Directly after Hope related Callisto’s threat to Xena, Gabrielle pushed the girl into a chair and then took a whole two steps away from her before both Xena and Kaleipus name-dropped the boy.
Tumblr media
So, I wonder why Hope didn’t think to answer her mother’s question with, “Because you, Xena, and the centaur said so right in front of me! Don’t you remember? I was trying to leave, but you went out of your way to give me a front-row seat to that discussion!” Okay, I’m joking a bit with the last part, but still. That was not remotely the right point for Gabrielle to lose faith in Hope. Beyond the obviousness I’ve just laid out, Callisto is the one who supposedly said she’d take Solan to the grave; as far as any of the good guys knew, Hope had no reason to hurt the boy. She only remembered being alone in the basket, nothing about Xena at all, according to what she told Gabrielle. Yes, she cries, “Xena hates me!”, but that could be taken as a response to Xena’s “shoot the messenger” glare upon hearing that Solan was set to die, even why the girl disappeared after hearing the conversation about Solan.
Tumblr media
Personally, I think Gabrielle’s realization of her daughter’s guilt was much better set up earlier in the episode: Given the look on her face upon seeing him and her shifty eyes while he lay dying, she knew in an instant that Hope had attacked Kaleipus. And when she burst into her hut after that, she shouted “Fayla!” not with worry in her voice, but frustration. Then she covered her face as if to ask, “What have I done?”
Tumblr media
It’s too bad that our battling bard was so quick to invalidate what she knew in her heart to be true. Sigh. T_T Her denial… hope? …is literally killer, many times over. (Like when she tried to say someone else broke through their barricade and killed Goewin but left Hope alone, when Hope is the only one anybody—particularly Goewin’s fellow knights, the only other possible suspects—wanted dead.)
Tumblr media
I’m also surprised Xena wasn’t as quick on the uptake about Kaleipus’s assailant as Gabrielle was. Only they, he, and Hope knew about the plan to hide Solan in the Ixion Caves. None of the good guys could have known, at that point, that Hope had returned to Callisto. And Callisto couldn’t be in two places at once, anyway, as she warned our ladies… Tsk tsk. (The script went too far, though. Kaleipus practically gasped, “Hope!” when he would only have known her as Fayla, if anything. Nevertheless, Xena should have picked up on his dying message in a second. Who else would “The child!” have been? Solan? Xenan?) Aish.
Tumblr media
TL; DR:
Hope: She knows your little secret, and she’s gonna take it to the grave.
Xena, in front of Hope (thanks to Gabrielle): Callisto knows about Solan!
Kaleipus, also in front of Hope thanks to Gabrielle: Doesn’t matter! Bottom line is protecting Solan!
Gabrielle to Hope later: I will take you to the safest place there is.
Hope: *brought to a hut where exactly one other person is hiding* Gee. Who could this be? -> *“realizes the boy’s dead”* -> *runs* -> (to Gabrielle) I don’t want to die like Solan.
Gabrielle: How did you know that was Solan?! Die, evil demon-child!
Me: …Wut?
*How do you like the new HD pix, eh???

In 1996, an unidentified 8-year-old boy slipped away from his mother, climbed over a barrier, and fell into the Gorilla Enclosure. Due to the 20 ft fall, the boy broke his hand and suffered a deep laceration to his face.
Seven gorillas inhabited the enclosure. Gorillas are known to be fiercely territorial animals. They will fight to the death to defend their families.
However, one of the gorillas, called Binti Jua, meaning "daughter of sunshine" went over to the boy and cradled him in her arms, all while her own young child was on her back.
She then went over to the edge of the enclosure and waited for the zookeepers to come and collect the child. Binti handed the child over peacefully before returning to the rest of the gorillas.
Binti received worldwide praise and received regular treats for the next few weeks. The boy and the mother have never been identified, but the boy did stay in a hospital for 4 days.
Animal behavioral experts claim that Binti used her maternal instincts to look after the child. This may have been influenced by the fact that she had her own baby Gorilla with her at the time, named Koola.
