#I just want him to have an absolutely wacky family

My current brainworm is that Astarion is a high elf so his family is probs still alive and I am starting to create my very self-indulgent headcanons for it and I’m putting them all under a read more bc it is Long
I think Astarion was the youngest of his siblings (he has youngest sibling energy), and the first grandchild in the family was born like a few months after him, so he was kind of in a hurry to grow up and be taken seriously. He definitely pulled the “I’m technically your uncle so you have to listen to me!” card with his siblings’ kids who were only a few months younger than him. From what I know of the lore, elves don’t really have accident babies, but I think Astarion was a very spur of the moment decision that happened quite a while after the second-youngest was born. He was the baby, and he hated it.
One of his siblings sees the papers after the nether brain happens and thinks huh that guy looks a lot like my baby brother that moved out to the city to go get an important law job what are the chances?
He’s super hesitant to reconnect for obvious reasons but the more he interacts with them the more he realizes that his family is just batshit insane and “baby of the family who died tragically young comes back as a vampire 200 years later” does not even make the top 10 list of craziest things that have happened this tenday and they just take it in stride and that’s almost worse? somehow?
I think there comes a point where they’re all treating this as so normal, as if he just came back from a very long vacation, he is so out of his depth and feeling smothered, no one is talking about what happened or taking it seriously, and he eventually can’t take it and snaps about how everyone is just pretending that nothing happened, he fucking died and clawed himself out of his own grave and spent two hundred years enslaved to a vampire lord that wanted to sacrifice him to an archdevil, and the most he’s gotten from any of these people is a chuckle and a handwave and a “you’re still our Astarion, we love you, we’re so happy you’re home, it’s not a big deal” but yes it is a big deal! He has not experienced unconditional positive regard very often and is very uncomfortable and feels like they’re hiding something from him.
He doesn’t remember that the day he left home for the last time, he had a big fight with his parents, and they hadn’t spoken in a couple of decades when he died. He doesn’t remember that the last time he saw his oldest brother, he pretended he didn’t recognize him, threatened to call the city watch on him if he didn’t stop with this harassment, and called him some very rude things. He’d been dead for months before any of them heard the news, because Astarion had done so much work to distance them, and he doesn’t even remember any of it.
No one was really going to bring it up, they’re just thrilled they have a second chance to reconnect and if he’s not going to say anything, why would we? We’re just all pretending that nothing happened and we are one big happy family, because that always works so well, right? Once they realize he isn’t bringing it up because he doesn’t remember it even happened, they all kind of settle down.
It takes a lot of work, they have at least one more explosive argument and he almost calls the whole thing a waste of time and vows to never come back, but… it isn’t entirely bad, and he certainly isn’t about to move back in with his parents any time soon, but maybe he can handle a few family dinners around the holidays if he already happens to be in the area…
I just want his family to be full of people you would expect to find in a news article about Fantasy Florida Man and Astarion is actually so normal comparatively
Also I am picturing in my mind that his mother has this beautiful garden and Astarion has a nephew who just joined a druid circle pretty recently and Lady Ancunín’s poor rose bushes will never be the same but she’s very proud of him regardless!

Tumblr media Tumblr media
Reconciling the age difference of the books but also the plots from the comics for an adaptation is such an interesting thing to think about when pertaining to Mymble Jr and Snorkmaiden's friendship.
Tumblr media
I love the immediate solidarity they form when discussing, ahem, "liking to be carried off", but when you factor in the rough ages of their characters in the books it gets interesting.
Moominpappa says he doesn't remember his age in MP's Memoirs, but if he flip back to Exploits of MP he says that at the time of writing he's 39 years old and turning 40 in August of that year. If Moominpappa had to actively run away from the Foundling Home instead of just aging out of it, that would make him under 18 when he joined the Oshun Oxtra.
When we meet Mymble Jr in Memoirs, she seems marginally younger than even Moominpappa but has developed a want to gain independence from her family, which... Probably places her as younger than MP but not by too much, I personally picked 6 or 7 years younger but I dunno I haven't concretely decided on that.
And then there's Snorkmaiden who is decidedly a child in Comet in Moominland and Finn Family Moomintroll along with the rest of her friends, whether she's prepubescent or a tween is hard to say but she is a child.
I imagine in my personal book x comic timeline the adaptation of Moomin's Desert Island would take place after Finn Family but before MP gets sick and decides to write his Memoirs, serving as a true introduction to Mymble Jr as the Moominparents' peppy old friend who got rescued from drowning and dragged into their island adventure.
Mymble Jr and Snorkmaiden always have this cute solidarity/friendship between them and I think adding such an age difference would add another layer to their dynamic, that their similarities would stem from Snorkmaiden following Mymble as the only person who really gets her in this deeply fundamental way. And while they're both absolute messes of people they greatly support eachother in their wacky romantic endeavors and get into silly tiffs in which it's Snorkmaiden doesn't realistically have a moral chance but it's all in good fun, because Mymble taught her that romance is supposed to be plain fun and games, just as Mymble learned from her mother.

Anime only watchers and people who aren't caught up with the Manga, BEWARE... Cuz I'm about to discuss Spy X Family Mission 95... You have been warned...! 👌
[SPOILERS AHEAD FROM THIS POINT ON]
We are FINALLY BACK BABY!! And this chapter was AN ABSOLUTELY FUN ONE!! 😆😆😆
It's been six weeks since the last chapter, so I feel a little rusty at doing this...!! 😅 But anyway, we are finally gonna see the End of Class Gala that was mentioned all the way back in Mission 36, so let's discuss Mission 95, shall we? 😁
Becky notices a guy asking a girl to go to the End of Class Gala with him, which reminds her that the Gala is coming up soon...!! Anya, being Anya, asks if there's gonna be cake, while Becky wants to ask Loid to go to the dance with her (only for Henderson to dash that dream immediately...!! 🤭) Emile then asks Damian if he's gonna invite someone to the dance, Anya over hears this and thinks that this is a great opportunity for Plan B to move forward, so...:
Tumblr media
SHE ASKS HIM TO DANCE WITH HER AT THE PARTY AND OF COURSE DAMIAN REJECTS ANYA'S OFFER...!! 😌
Then, it's the day of the Gala and...:
Tumblr media
BECKY LOOKS SOOO ADORABLE IN HER DRESS!! 😍
And though Martha was just gonna drop Becky off, Henderson asks her to volunteer and she agrees to do it...!! 😁 (I still REALLY want to know Martha and Henderson's history together...! 😄)
At the party, we find out from Henderson that the whole grade is here meet and greet with other before everyone has to switch classes (hopefully Anya, Becky, Damian, Emile and Ewen will still be in the same class together...!! 🤞) And then, we see Damian's fit for the pary...:
Tumblr media
Damian is looking like a mini James Bond in that tux!! SUPER SUAVE MY BOY...!! 😎👍
Then, Anya arrives and...:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
MY BABY GIRL LOOKS SO DARN PRECIOUS THAT MY HEART JUST CAN'T EVEN TAKE IT...!!! 💗😭💗
Moving on from me being an emotional for my baby girl, one of the teachers announces the first party activity and which ever class wins gets to stay in the imperial scholar's private lounge for the day...!! 😲 I thought that this might be another opportunity for Anya to run into Demetrius again, so I was hoping for Cecile Hall to win!! 😆 But after all the games, that hope of mine was dashed because Villiers Hall won the prize...!!
Tumblr media
(Well, at least we got to know that Mr. Green's first name is Custos from this...! 😌)
Now it's time for the dance and every is looking for a dance partner!! 😁 And I probably should've already known this, but Twilight is here to help Anya out...!!:
Tumblr media
Damian gets bombarded by a bunch of scummy brats that only want to get close and dance with him because of who his family is, while Anya on the other hand...
Tumblr media
...seems to be getting some genuine offers from some boys to dance!! 😁 (Heck! Even the kid that ranked first in the Classical Language test, Arnold Crowley, asked Anya to dance with him...!! 😄) But since getting close to Damian is Anya's top priority, she declines the other boys' offers. And because Damian has so many girls that want to dance with him, Emile and Ewen step in to help their boss man!! 😎
Tumblr media
But try as these other girls might...
Tumblr media
...Anya (with Twilight's help) will be the one dancing with Damian tonight...!! 😤
And that was Mission 95 and it was a great chapter to come back from the hiatus with!! 😆 I am so glad to finally see this Gala happen after all time, but I'm still worried about where everyone in Cecile Hall is gonna end up... 😩 But besides that, I can't wait to see what kind of wacky things Anya (and Twilight) are gonna do to make sure that she gets to dance with Damian!! 😆
Anyway, I think that's pretty much all that I wanna say about this chapter...!! 😁 So until next Mission; take care, be safe out there, and be kind to one another...!! Later!! 👋😊

Bachelors and Having a Baby
I saw another hc blog do this and I wanna do my own take~
Sebastian --
Extremely shocked when you tell him you're pregnant, but would react with a blank face and "oh, huh. Interesting." It does not sink in for a few minutes to an hour, and then he's losing his fucking mind.
Never thought he would be a dad, and convinced himself he would be a bad one. Even if him and the farmer weren't using protection, it still blindsides him
He cuts back on freelance work to help more around the farm, especially in the last trimester. The farmer is NOT allowed to do anything more strenuous than play video games. He will prob call on Abigail and Sam to help, he's not exactly the most athletic guy in the world.
Despite his fears that he wouldn't do a good job, he certainly works to make sure they won't come true. Reads a lot of parenting books and talks to Robin a lot. Those talks heal a bit of the rift between them.
Robin jokes that she's too young to be a grandma, but Demetrius cries when he's given a World's Best Grandpa mug. Maru happily steps up as an aunt and will spoil the baby with custom made toys and a ton of STEM for baby books.
Abigail and Sam are the chaotic aunt and uncle I imagine Shane was to Jas. They will babysit (mostly Sam) but expect funny pictures and wacky situations.
Elliott --
He is overjoyed when you tell him the news. He's going to be a papa! Lots of hugs and swinging you around. He doesn't strike me as the type to seek parenthood, but would lovingly embrace it once given to him.
It doesn't hit him for a while that a baby is going to mean changing his lifestyle quite a bit. No more all nighters, he won't be able to write for hours and hours at a time anymore. He finds it worth changing that aspect of his life to adjust to this new addition, a physical manifestation of your love.
Starts to change his habits early on so he'll be better suited after the baby arrives. Fully supports when you go nest mode and will move the furniture around as much as you want.
Has had a list of names for years before you even meet him. And all of them are beautiful
Leah takes on an aunt type roll, and loves teaching the baby about art and colors.
Sam --
Panics hard at the announcement. It doesn't matter that you're married, he still feels like he's sixteen sometimes, and he's worried about getting in trouble
Jodi and Kent are overjoyed at becoming grandparents, and Vincent thinks it's cool he's going to be an uncle.
Abigail and Sebastian make fun of him for being so worried about it, and help him get ready mentally to be a dad. They may need to remind him how much he helped with Vincent.
Once he calms down and realizes his family isn't going to be mad and his friends will stick around, he's extremely excited. He helped make an entirely new person! Someone he can teach music to! Can you skateboard with a baby?
Happily becomes the stay at home dad and handles a lot of the childcare.
Absolutely writes banger after banger of goofy songs for his kid
Alex --
I think he would be the type that always wanted to be a dad, just to spite how bad his was. When you tell him he's going to be one, he's over the moon. One of the few times you ever see him cry is when you tell him about the pregnancy, and again when the baby arrives.
Immediately befriends all the moms in Pelican Town and joins their gossip groups so he can get their advice and help as you prep for the baby. They adore him. He's like their pet.
Gets into what-to-expect books and takes over farm chores basically as soon as you tell him. No, you don't need to be doing all of that. He's got it. Which, I do think he would be pretty involved on the farm. I don't think he's the type to slouch while his spouse does everything. You can trust that he'll do well.
Evelyn and George are shocked by the news. George especially didn't think they'd live long enough to see it. They both love the little one quite a bit, and despite George's general attitude, he only speaks sweetly to the baby.
Haley will absolutely bury you in baby outfits as gifts.
Harvey --
Probably the most panicked on the list. He's not an ob/gyn but he IS medically trained and knows how easily everything can go wrong.
This doesn't mean he isn't thrilled and amazed in equal measure. Sure, you knew it was a possibility, but... He's so happy. He always wanted to be a dad, and now it's happening! He gets very misty-eyed.
He starts taking over cooking to be sure you're getting all the nutrients you need. You will find snacks in your bag, all healthy.
He also wants you to cut back on the farmwork, maybe hire someone for a season or two to hold it down. He would take over if he could, but being the town's only doctor keeps him too occupied.
He will absolutely do every type of birthing partner class.
He also helps set up the birth plan. He handles your medical needs until the birth. The plan is to go to Zuzu City about when the baby is due, deliver in the big hospital where he can be by your side and let someone else be the doctor. This plan fails when you deliver early and he has to step up. Everything goes well.
Shane --
He never thought he would be a dad. He didn't think he was good enough to take in Jas, and for the longest time, he didn't think he was good enough to be involved enough to have a kid.
He's come so far since when you first met. He's still got his issues, but he has a healthy grasp on them anymore. He isn't filled with loathing when you tell him, but tears up and holds you close. He feels incredibly lucky to have someone that loves him enough to welcome a child from him.
He is excited to prep for the kid. He was around when Jas was born, so he still remembers a fair bit about the baby years.
Jas can't wait to be a big sister. She likes playing with Vincent, but it would be even better to have a brother or sister. Marnie tears up when you both tell her the news. She's already a great-aunt to Jas, but looks forward to welcoming your baby as well. If you call her Grannie she will melt.
Shane absolutely faints in the delivery room. Man thought he could handle it. He cannot.
He's a very attentive dad. He never, ever wants this part of him to feel like it's not loved or good enough.

Ranking famous slashers (based on how likely they are to be cool with trans people)
(Disclaimer: this is a very silly ironic post for pride month).
Chucky (Child's Play)
In what can only be described as an "absolute hum-dinger" of an opening entry, we have Chucky, the only slasher who has (and explicitly supports) a transgender child. Sure. You know what? Good for him.
2. Ash Williams (The Evil Dead franchise)
"Uhh this guy isn't a slasher!" He has a chainsaw for a hand. He's killed 65+ deadites over the course of four movies and a goofy tv show with said grisly chainsaw hand. I will die on the hill that Ash is a good-aligned slasher. Anyway, Ash would also be happy to learn that trans women being more widely-accepted means there are More Women. He wouldn't even have to have being trans explained to him, he'd get it. He's dealt with so much weird shit, someone wanting to transition is nothing. Hail to the king, baby.
3. Herbert West (Re-Animator)
Herbert West looks so much like one of my trans guy friends in real life that I'm just going to decide that he's trans. My guy was synthesizing HRT in his wacky little lab long before he was filling vials with glowing green goo to raise the dead. He's still ranked lower than Ash, though, because he's kind of cringe in general. Sorry, Herbie baby
4. Bubba Sawyer (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre)
Bubba definitely doesn't care about anyone's gender. He's killing them with chainsaws. That being said, the exceptions to this would occur within his own family. If one of Bubba's brothers came out as trans and you decided to be transphobic, Bubba would definitely cut you into even grislier, gorier little pieces than usual, because he's a bro like that.
5. Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th)
Jason is a conceptually hilarious character at this point, and between all of the deaths and resurrections and visits to Hell and more deaths and resurrections, he's probably had time enough to come to terms with trans people. He just wants to kill everyone at Crystal Lake, for god's sakes. Let him be. (Also, he fought a transphobe--I will explain this remark later in this post.)
6. Daniel Robitaille (Candyman)
Daniel's been dead for quite a while, so that might be a minor roadblock to his understanding of trans people. That being said, he seemed to navigate the modern world pretty deftly in the original Candyman. You might have to explain transitioning to him a bit, but he'd get the concept pretty quickly. He might still kill you with his hook, though. Sorry.
7. Carrie White (Carrie)
Carrie is in a complicated place, because yes, she was raised in a very sheltered, evangelical environment, but we must consider that she is a girlboss and a girlbeast. My verdict? After an initial period of "not getting it," Carrie would throw herself whole hog into being a trans ally. If you are trans, Carrie will be there to light transphobic people on fire. This is not an offer, it is a statement of intent. Be ready for her arrival.
8. Michael Myers (Halloween)
I think that Michael forgot what gender is a while back.
9. Hannibal Lecter (Silence of the Lambs + other movies)
Uuugh... see, I think that Hannibal would absolutely use the right pronouns and name for a trans person, but he'd definitely ask those really annoying "tell me, Will" style questions about your gender over a plate of definitely-not-human liver and fava beans. "Do you feel as though you are step in step with God Himself when you take your estrogen pills, as though your are joining in the act of divine creation?" No, Hannibal, she is just transitioning. Please chill.
11. Billy Lenz (Black Christmas)
Diversity win and loss: Billy Lenz is the world's first trans-inclusive radical misogynist! :/
12. Billy Loomis and Stu Macher (Scream)
Ghostface fans, I am so sorry, but these are two misogynistic teenage boys from the 90's. I do not have high hopes for them.
13. Freddy Krueger (Nightmare on Elm Street)
This guy is the transphobe Jason fought. Booooo. Tomatoes. I'm throwing tomatoes!

Hi hi!! I have questions regarding snapdonnie (plant boy)
Can he talk? If he can what would it sound like? How would he try to hide this from his brothers if he does? Are your commissions open? Oh I wonder if he would just disappear. I imagine this is sensory hell for him. On top of having to eat bugs. eugh hahahaha I love this! He kinda reminds me of those mushroom zombies (/pos)!! What are your thoughts on him? I would love to hear more about this creature against nature (or with nature now, haha!!) I was originally here for open your wings but I have gotten thoroughly attached to the wacky Donnie fusions. Are you alright if people draw him?? How did you do this?? This is so cool!!! I love all of your Donnie designs but he is most definitely my favorite.
(Feel free to ignore, this turned into just gushing about him)
I was gonna keep going but it was going to get into weird unhinged cult territory really fast, hahaha!!!
Wow! Hi!
I will try to answer all your questions, me and @zeawesomeness were just throwing ideas around for SnapDonnie, so theres quite a bit to talk about!
What does he sound like:
I'd imaging real gurgly when he's like that, but he absolutely hates the sound of his voice, and the fact that most of what he says is muddled. So id say he mostly uses sign language to communicate. while he can still do that
How would he hide it from his brothers:
He would definitely try at the beginning! especially when it starts off as a small growth on his softshell, but eventually the consequences get too big and it gets revealed relatively quickly (at least compared to Open your Shell)
Are my commisions open:
uhhhh, not at the moment, but if there's enough interest in commissions for my art (which would be amazing) then i would be open to opening them!
Is this sensory hell for him?
Absolutely. especially now that flies are attracted to him. he hates it. his shell is consistently moving and it is hell.
My thoughts on him:
I live this creepy little dude. but now there is a little bit of trepidation with it. because now i want to turn this into a proper au and i need to stop doing this to myself.
More about SnapDonnie!
he was infected with this venus fly trap-like curse (from what I havent figured out yet, either kraang or mystic)
it started as a growth in his shell, which then sprouted those flytraps (which he couldnt hide)
the energy needed for the transformations makes Donnie ravenous, and the more he eats, the faster he turns. this is the part where his family find out.
yes he was compelled into eating raw (kinda rancid) meat.
they find out that this infection will continue until Donnie is fully turned into a carnivorous plant.
at the end of the transformation, Donnies face would split open and the single flower would bloom.
Small teeth-like spines are growing down the middle of Donnies face.
Donnie has to balance, starving himself without rotting/wilting (bc yes he does that now), while not eating too much that the transformation continues at too fast a pace.
it doesnt help that sometimes he goes feral (and his face does the splitty open thing), and attacks and tries to eat anything in his path. including his family. Ah yes. Angst.
so they need to figure out how to help Donnie before they loose him forever.
Okay I think Im done with ranting lol.
Can you draw him?
ABSOLUTELY!! please tag me if you do! in fact I am completely on board with you drawing anything from my aus! I love receiving fanart!
I think thats all the questions answered! I love asks like this lol, theyre always so fun!

Spies Are Forever (theatre) | Epithet Erased (webshow & lite novel)
Tumblr media
Agent Curt Mega & Tatiana Slozhno:
1. they meet as spies working against each other, and are soon after both sent to seduce the other as part of their respective missions. when tatiana's employers kidnap and torture curt, she betrays them to save him, and then saves him again when he almost gets himself killed by them a second time. curt brings her to his safe house, and his mother assumes they're a couple. they wonder if maybe they should give it a try, they kiss, and then they both confess that they absolutely are not interested in the other like that, and so they decide to just be friends. they take down the bad guys together, and then curt gets passports made for tatiana and her family so they can safely get to the united states and she cans see them again.
Giovanni Potage & Molly Blyndeff:
1. THEY’RE SO SILLYYYYYYY i love them. they’re such a prime example of friendship with an age gap in media, which, i think needs to happen a bit more. i have friends older than me! i have friends younger than me! and also they’re just. goofy. silly 2. Would any friendship bracket truly be complete without this dynamic duo? She’s a serious an disillusioned elementary school student, resigned to her miserable lot in life after years of neglect and doing her family’s taxes. He’s a wacky and optimistic teenager turned supervillain, here to sweep her away from her abusive family. Together, they commit CRIMES! 3. She is an anxious child who has the power to dumb down noises or impacts to help her deal with the literal everything in her life, as she has to balance school and her family’s toy store, especially as her father and sister seem to prioritize their own selves and not care about the family as a whole. Molly is like 11 or something and has to do her family’s taxes! He is a villainous mastermind!…well, he says he is. In actuality, Giovanni is a captain in the Bonzai Blasters, with ambitions of being promoted to Vice Principal…or even Associate Justice or Valedictorian! (Yes. This is how that system is organized) But unlike the rest, he prioritizes the wellbeing of his minions above all else. He’s comfortable with his masculinity, as he knits for his minions and packs them all some soup in case they get hungry. Oh! He also has the power of soup. He can make soup, make steam of soup, and every 13th physical hit from him deals critical damage (that has nothing to do with soup. It’s just what he does). After a heist gone wrong, these two meet, and Giovanni adopts Molly as one of his minions (giving her the minion name “Beartrap”, on account of her bear hoodie. She likes bears). Together, they thwart/do a heist and steal a valuable amulet. Giovanni also distances Molly from the Banzais when the cops show up, so she will not have to worry about legal troubles. Not spoiling much about the book (Prison of Plastic, go read it), but Giovanni continues to stand up for Molly against her family, who continues to write her off. He tries to get her sister to connect with her and soften up. He can’t do much with the dad because he sucks. Giovanni makes sure Molly knows how cool she is as a person and that she doesn’t let herself be walked all over by other people. He helps her stand up for herself, and in turn, she helps him with crime.
Note: This blog is run & followed by aromantics. Insisting any pairs are ~actually romantic~ will not only cause you to be blocked on the spot, but you'll out yourself as someone not safe to be queer around. No one wants to hear how stupid you look with those shipping goggles on.

Silly Questions About Gwen’s Characters - Part Two
Silly Questions About Gwen's Characters Masterlist
This was a joint effort between @daydream-cement and me (of course with help from the wonderful Gwouncil GC, @na-shoba, @booitsrue, @funky--lesbian, and @margot-the-lesbian-god). She posted the first and will be posting the next part! We will go back and forth with these silly little questions.
Tumblr media
Most embarrassing middle school moment?
Brienne: Brienne didn’t go to school, but her most embarrassing memory from when she was a child was THE ball. Yeah. We don’t need to talk about it.
Larissa: She snuck out to go to an ‘older kids’ party with a friend. Her parents showed up and she never lived it down. Haunts her memories. You know how people have that one little thing that keeps them up when they are trying to sleep? This is hers. 
Lucifer: Telling God they loved him 😦
Phasma: She doesn’t know what embarrassment is. She stares embarrassment in the face, eats it for breakfast, punches it in the face. Embarrassment should be embarrassed for trying to embarrass her.
Miranda: Far too many for her to count, or remember. Probably millions of moments when she wished she would have dug a hole underground and stayed there forever.
Which is their favorite: tits, ass, or other?
Brienne: As someone who has been judged by her physique her entire life, she doesn’t put much weight on body. However, she will become completely bewitched by tits and thighs. Like, in a trance, staring, just in complete awe.
Larissa: Tits. Boobs. Yes, please. Any shape or form. She loves them endlessly.
Lucifer: A sweet face. (Up to their interpretation. Don’t put your silly human beauty standards on them.) They don’t really have a favorite body part. With their person, all of it is their favorite.
Phasma: Phaddy is an ass man, she loves to see it bright red after she is finished with her lover. But, if you ask her she’d just simply say, “all of it. Next question.”
Miranda: “Do- Do I have to pick? Okay… Tits… Wait, no. Stomach… Wait, wait, wait, HIPS AND THIGHS. Yes, final answer, hips and thighs.” With her partner, she will stare at their ass and hips all day as they walk around the house. Also, she will find any way to have you wear her hands as a bra.
Favorite pizza toppings? List the top five in order.
Brienne: No pizza in the olden days, but if we talk modern setting: Cheese, ham, pineapple. I SAID IT, I SAID IT. Girl loves trying weird and wacky things and she absolutely loves the mix of salty and sweet and will praise pineapple on pizza whenever possible.
Larissa: Cheese, peppers, mushrooms, sausage
Lucifer: No cheese. Just tomato sauce and bread. They want to watch the world burn. 
Phasma: “Pizza? Once again, I have a strict diet. Do not make me eat a ‘pizza pie’, I need my protein.” Will however eat one if it has many vegetables on it, for the fiber.
Miranda: “How many toppings are too many toppings?” - direct quote from Miranda making her own pizza at home (it took forever to cook bc there were too many toppings)
What was the last (non-story-related) dream they had while sleeping?
Brienne: Had a nightmare dream about Podrick being a giant and her being tiny as they spar. She’d wake up in a cold sweat after, standing up as fast as possible to see if she was still tall, and would release a sigh of relief when Podrick is, still, shorter than her.
Larissa: Dreamt Nightmare about going to the Weathervane and they were out of hot chocolate
Lucifer: Falling….from heaven. 
Phasma: Nightmare where she has a picnic. That’s it. Picnics freak her out. (Nothing freaks her out, let’s be honest, but picnics for her are just, yuck.)
Miranda: That she was on a ship up in space, looking out over the planets and stars, and when she’d wake up she’d cry because she wasn’t actually in space. Going back to sleep in a desperate attempt to return to her dream.
If they suddenly vanished, what would their family assume they were up to? (Shopping, pranking people, overthrowing governments, etc.)
Brienne: Well, her father just assumes that she’s, you know, off fighting bad guys, and being all righteous and all.
Larissa: She’s at work of course. Check her desk chair. If she isn’t in it, well then, she is probably dead. 
Lucifer: Probably lounging in the gardens or reading somewhere inaccessible by everyone else. 
Phasma: What family?
Miranda: If Miranda hasn’t sent a single text the entire day (aka vanished), she’s kidnapped or no longer with us. 
What’s their least favorite possession that they wish they could get rid of, but can’t / shouldn’t?
Brienne: Her sword. Reminds her too much of Jaime but she can’t get rid of it considering it's Valyrian steel and extremely rare.
Larissa: Most likely a painting or knick-knack from her mother. It’s so tacky and strange, she was sure her mother gave it to her just to be mean. She absolutely despises it, but if she were to get rid of it then she would never hear the end of it. 
Lucifer: A Bible.
Phasma: What possessions?
Miranda: Something from the baby she was going to have. Perhaps a teddy bear or a little pair of shoes. It made her too sad to get rid of absolutely everything.
If they spray-painted a city wall, what would they write/draw?
Brienne: “the kingslayer is a sister fucker”
Larissa: morticia sux 
Lucifer: Suck it Dad
Phasma: The First Order symbol.
Miranda: She could never. It’s a crime to spray paint on a city wall.
Pick a fictional character from another book/movie to be their guardian angel. Is it hard to look out for your character? Does the guardian angel interact with them? What’s their first conversation like?
Brienne: With Brienne’s choice of career, sometimes it can get a little bit stressful with how close to getting dangerously hurt she has gotten sometimes. Sometimes her guardian angel is biting at their fingernails but is very much aware that Brienne can handle her own, only stepping in when absolutely necessary. 
Larissa: No it’s not hard to look after Larissa. She is a good egg and doesn’t get up to much trouble.
Lucifer: Guardian angel? For a fallen angel? How cute.
Phasma: Phasma? Captain of the Stormtroopers? Yes. Exhausting. The guardian angel wondered multiple times if it’s possible to switch because Phasma was being, well, Captain Phasma. The angel wouldn’t even want to interact with her, she high-key scares them.
Miranda: Sometimes her guardian angel gets concerned with how clumsy she is. Not often does she get into dangerous police work, but seeing as though she was shot, I’m sure Miranda could give them a run for their money.
Do they find fart noises funny? (Be honest.)
Brienne: Sober, no. Drunk, funniest thing in the world.
Larissa: No. Well maybe deep down, but she wouldn’t let you know that.
Lucifer: No.
Phasma: Phasma? Finding anything that other people find funny, funny? That’s funny.
Miranda: PFTTTT, of course. 
They wake up permanently invisible. Do they ask for help right away, or do they stay hidden? What do they do while invisible?
Brienne: After being gawked at her entire life, being invisible would be blissful for Brienne, no one is able to look at her, and no one is able to judge her based on her appearance. She would spend an entire day in peace because no one would be able to stare at her and make rude comments regarding her height or looks.
Larissa: She would try to get help. How the hell is she supposed to run a school under these conditions?
Lucifer: Why would they ask for help? They know perfectly well they don't need anyone's help getting back to normal.
Phasma: She’d go siege an entire planet, killing every single person and no one would know it was her. She’d then (unwillingly) try getting someone's attention and attempt to return back to visible, she can’t command troopers as invisible.
Miranda: She would get into a pinch of mischief beforehand. Nothing criminal, but a little prank never hurt anyone. Probably a prank on her girlfriend or Robin. Then she would immediately try and get help.

Parent Trap: 🏩 is it gonna hurt the feels?
(from this ask game, and I am still accepting and working on asks, just slowly!)
I love that you picked this one. Okay. More so in premise and set-up than actual execution, if that makes sense. This fic is a romantic comedy centered around two ten-year-olds trying to get their parents back together after a breakup, and I don't think it counts as a spoiler to say that they don't even have to try that hard and Anakin and Obi-Wan *do* end up back together, without even all that much convincing. So I don't want to misrepresent it as some grandly tragic thing when it's basically fluff.
But the setup *is* inherently kind of tragic, and I softened some edges from the movie(s) but let others just...play out as they stood. In this version, Luke and Leia aren't twins, and certainly not identical, but they were raised together from the day Anakin brought Leia home from the hospital (and I left this *very* open to interpretation as to how and why Anakin ended up single-parenting a newborn at twenty-one years old without any support from either his side of the family or his in-laws - it's clear that's what happened but not what led up to it - so feel free to make that backstory as tragic or otherwise as you want) and Luke was only a few months old, and when they're both three the adults have a fight and Obi-Wan takes Luke and moves to another country.
And the story doesn't take place then - the twins are infants in chapter one and ten for the rest of the story - so we don't see any of that but it's definitely discussed and had a huge impact on their lives, and Obi-Wan (and, to a lesser extent, Anakin) do have to deal with the fact that part of his justification for the move and subsequent cutting out all communication was, 'the kids will be too young to remember differently' and turns out...that wasn't true, and they absolutely do remember each other, and don't understand why they were kept apart for seven years or what went wrong.
For Anakin, and this isn't explicitly stated either but it's the mindset I kept in mind as I wrote all his dialogue and interactions: he doesn't even really understand the breakup all that much better than the kids do. To him, the fight that broke the proverbial camel's back and was Obi-Wan's last straw (how many idioms can I pack in, here?) was...kind of just another day. Anakin thought they just talked like that. Arguing was how they interacted with each other. I think of that scene in The Incredibles: "I thought it was just playful banter!" He kind of had the rug swept out from under him when Obi-Wan announced, "I'm leaving!" and then *actually* left and didn't come back.
But again - this is making the fic sound like more of a downer than it is. Luke and Leia are generally happy kids and their parents love them and they go off to summer camp and have wacky hijinks and Obi-Wan and Anakin *snipe* at each other but it's never *that* mean-spirited because they've been semi in love with each other the entire time, and the whole thing works out fine in the end. It's handled as gently as the premise allows for, is I guess what I'm trying to say.
As always - thank you for the ask!

Here is my new au proposal:
Sunny is getting extremely tired of practicing. He almost, *almost* shatters after he makes another mistake, but through some miracle he gets through it. (This might be ooc idk keoqwokwpq) eventually, the siblings finally land on perfect run. Mari is relieved and is just blindly cussing out Sunny at this point for finally pulling himself together for once or smth, and unfortunately Sunny isn't zoned out and takes all of it in directly to the heartThe recital happens.
It is how it went in the duet (not quite perfect but absolutely beautiful I think), and everyone is proud. But not of the both of them, but of only Mari. She gets all the praise and love back home while Sunny just looks at his cut up hands and bloody violin. This neglectful moment will be internalised in him forever.
And even though Basil, Aubrey and eventually Kel and Hero approached him, it meant nothing to him by then.
And thus begins: Sunny's downward spiral!
At first he just doesn't talk to any of his friends anymore. Not even when they're hanging out.
Then, he stops going to the hang outs and stays inside, spending time with Mewo and his thoughts. Of course he still goes outside and to school, but he doesn't exchange any words with his parents or his sister.
Everytime Mari tries to talk to him he just turns away or stays quiet. Also he put the violin away forever, blood coated and sealed away.
He has completely cut ties with everyone, even Basil. His best friend.
The only people he talks to really are Mewo and in headspace, Abbi. The other two great ones too, but mostly Abbi. And despite her wisdom, Sunny doesn't take her words on seeing his friends again. After all, why should he? They don't care.
Abbi wants to convenience him because she knows deep down he still feels the same he did about them before, but to no avail.
Now, how do his friends feel about this?
Aubrey, first and foremost, is extremely miserable, because the one person she could trust to talk to is gone. Out of her life. And right as her family fully fell apart. She stopped being as cheerful and is now mostly just tired. The hair dying still happens with Mari, but she never got to show it to Sunny, so she feels pretty let down. Also stopped bickering with Kel because tiredness (probably ooc but I'm dumb so).
Basil is not having a happy, to say the least. Much like Aubrey, he has no one to vent to or just talk to about flowers who actually listens. So he becomes less social and often doesn't show up to the hang outs. He has tried talking with Aubrey, but he finds that two people venting at the same time isn't too good so they both agreed to not do that.
Kel is still mostly Kel, but he feels ever so slightly more sad because the one person who always went along with his wackiness is gone. Aubrey doesn't want in on, Basil is too scared and Hero and Mari are just busy.
Hero is pretty unchanged. He had the weakest connection to Sunny after all. And he is studying to be a psychologist or smth so he can help Mari and the others n stuff.
Mari is, upset to say the least. At first she was angry with Sunny for not coming along, but then she started to think about why this could be. She didn't fully get it until one day while looking for something she found the violin with dried blood on it. The realization hit her like a truck and she was destroyed. She did this to him. She is the reason why the friend group is barely held together and why Aubrey and Basil are depressed. She failed as a friend, but most importantly:
She failed as an older sister.

Girl-Dad Hongjoong
Yes I know you can do this stuff with a baby boy too (and you bet your ass Joong would) but I'm dying at the thought of Hongjoong being an absolute simp for his little princess and hiudhsvubi
Now that that's out of the way...
Crying when she's born and he gets to hold her for the first time
His eyes swimming with all the memories he wants to make with this tiny human
Always having heart-eyes for his little girl...always
He could be changing a soiled diaper and still have heart eyes
Just staring at the baby for hours, completely in awe that he helped bring her into the world
But also getting super anxious as 'what if's swirl through his head
Channeling all his fears into incredibly heartfelt songs that he sings to her as lullabies
Sitting at a tiny little table wearing a toy crown and earrings while his baby girl serves him imaginary tea with the cutest little tea set ever (that Hongjoong totally personalized for her)
She would be the most well-dressed toddler istg
Always looks forward to their cute morning ritual of him picking her outfits from a big-ass closet (seriously, this man would LIVE for buying and customizing baby clothes)
But like, if she wants to wear bunny ears or smthin with whatever chic outfit Joong picks out she will and he'll let her
Probably even encourages her to pick out wacky, unique pieces to add some pizzazz to the fit
Daddy-Daughter dates!
Gives her flowers, takes her shopping or to see a movie or something, always getting ice cream on the way home
Mans is wrapped around her finger so tightly you have to force him to leave whenever y'all drop her off somewhere
He will 110% cry on her first day of school
He's like the classroom mom to end all classroom moms
Definitely the Dad that all the teachers and other Moms (and Dads) are in love with...every single one
Like, you know the scene in "The Game Plan" where the Rock's character is sitting in the dance studio and all the moms are like lusting after him? Yeah...every day
Then when she gets older it continues, only now her friends are crushing on her Dad too (DILF Hongjoong anyone?)
But ofc he doesn't even notice, too engrossed in watching his baby do her thing
Going all out for Daddy-Daughter Dances
Buys her a new dress and accessories, making sure he has pieces to match, giving her a cute little corsage that he probably made (or at least designed) Himself
Protective!Dad Hongjoong 24/7
It's not much of a problem when she's little, but when she gets older and boys (or girls) and crushes are a thing watch tf out
I feel like he would have like a sixth sense for judging peoples' characters and if someone gives him a weird vibe he'll keep a closer eye on them
Never says "I told you so" when she comes to him in tears when someone is actually a shit human
Just makes some tea and brings her blankets or plushies or something
He WILL hold a grudge against anyone who hurts his baby girl
Even if she forgives and forgets...he will not...
Tries not to spoil the shit out of her but honestly can't help it
Always buying pretty gifts for her, plushies, jewelry, clothes...the list goes on
Tries to foster a love for music and the arts from a young age
Piano lessons, dance classes, etc.
Always wants to do crafts with her and probably having a whole art room that's more often than not covered in glitter and ribbon
Hyping up everything she makes
Always wearing the things she makes for him
Literally styles outfits around pasta necklaces and decorated ties
Family trips to the nail salon to get matching manicures
Dancing with her standing on his feet
Gets more excited for dino nuggies than she does

Twst Building Gingerbread Houses
I wrote this so long ago but I don’t think I ever posted it
~~~~~~~ Riddle: he would want his house to be nothing less than perfection but would end up angry over it not working out. But have no fear, Trey is here! To help the poor boi out 
Trey: his house would be perfect, opulent, the most beautiful thing you have ever laid your eyes upon 
Cater: Pretty classic. Probably spent more time on the gingerbread people. He will deny the fact they resemble Adeuce. PICTURES PICTURES PICTURES
Ace & Deuce: I don’t know how but they ended up sharing a kit. It’s one big fight as their visions for how this house should look are wildly different and they cannot compromise. 
Leona: he doesn’t 
Ruggie: he eats it 
Jack: he actually really tries to make it look good. It end up very cute 
Azul: he’s too busy, the tweels can do that 
Floyd: he would do it for about 5 minutes then get bored, he probably smashed it 
Jade: he does one of those very aesthetic ones only with white icing 
Kalim: oh dear sweet boy- its not good but he thinks it’s absolutely amazing 
Jamil: didn’t get to make one because of the Kalim babysitting, He’s literally holding three of the walls up as Kalim rants about how good it looks. 
Vil: like he would stand the absolute mess it is??? If he had to he’d hire someone to make one. Like a huge centerpiece one.
Rook: he makes a surprisingly good one but in a scarily short amount of time 
Epel: he absolutely loves decorating them. His family would 100% have done it so it reminds him of his home. hope he washes his hands before Vil shows up 
Ortho: he would be fascinated by the idea and beg his big brother to do it with him 
Idia: he would only do it because Ortho wanted to 
Malleus: He would be utterly confused by the idea. “A miniature home? Who lives there?” Even if someone explained to him that no one would actually live there he would make it as if something would. (It definitely has a gingerbread gargoyle) He gives it to MC
Lilia: HOW IS IT ON FIRE!? 
Silver: he gets halfway done before falling asleep on it. There’s icing and candy stuck to his face when he wakes up. Lilia took pictures 
Sebek: has too much of a heavy hand to get any real detail. He’s upset because he claims “it is not worthy to be given to the young master” as he had hoped 
Crowley: please don’t let him have one- he would show up on MC’s door with one in hand demanding to make one with them. He’s just that gracious but- he’s not good at it. At all. 
Trien: it calms him. He used to help his daughters make them. They’re elaborate and well done. There is definitely a gingerbread cat involved 
Crewl: yeah no. he wouldn’t make one. He would supervise and direct the design of it though 
Sam: he would make one for every season. Those halloween and thanksgiving ones? Heck yeah. They would always be wacky 
Ashton: no. He’s afraid of absorbing the sugar or something weird like that?

Do you have any ideas of what an interaction between Connor and Lindsey would look like?
God I think it would depend on the iteration of the characters we're talking about. I do think there's a universe where Lilah and Lindsey are fully Team Rocket and baby Connor is their Pikachu. I also think there's a universe where Lindsey decides he's Connor's godparent without anyone asking, shows up to parent-teacher conference night uninvited, gets into a public argument with Angel, and the teachers have to reassure them that they've worked with non-traditional families before, do you and your ex-husband share custody, etc.
But most realistically in canon s5 I think if Lindsey somehow found out that Connor was Angel's kid, he'd try to manipulate him like Holtz did, except Connor would be 17 and well-adjusted and think Lindsey was lame. Actually given the wackiness of Lindsey and Eve's schemes in s5 anyways, I can see him going undercover as a guidance counselor at Connor's school and trying to turn him to the dark side, only he keeps getting bullied by a bunch of teens who can smell his inferiority complex. He can get a subplot where he has to counsel a troubled teen girl who's been acting out because her ex-boyfriend dumped her and became homecoming king/queen with another girl, and it's not fair that HE gets everything SHE wanted, and Lindsey is nodding along like, Absolutely. You deserved that title. That bastard used you and left you for dead and now he's getting rewarded for it? I'll bring the shovel.
And then they do some wacky hijinks to get supernatural revenge on her ex-boyfriend, except at one point Lindsey has a blinding moment of self-awareness as he realizes he's playing co-conspirator to a literal teenager over petty high school drama, and it gives him pause just long enough for Angel to show up because he's investigating a lead on demon activity at Connor's high school. Angel asks what he's doing and all that self-awareness disappears as Lindsey must now double down on why his plan to defeat Angel his teenage mentee's plan to get back at her ex-boyfriend definitely makes sense and is a good idea, actually.

Oh boy clay analysis part 2 (because I clearly have NOTHING better to do with my spare time)
I mentioned how I wanted to go more into depth with Clay and especially with the flaws and missing pieces of his main character development. which yes, I still want to kinda talk about. I get he was the main MAIN character but it feels as if it took way longer to learn about his family compared to other characters.
(I say this as we don’t even know what Aaron’s parents look like)
okay, in knights of the realm,.. we learn about why the 5 of them were at the academy, and the reason they became knights. But it didn’t really give us enough to fully understand the characters. (Which sucks, I genuinely love the two episodes sm, but I can’t not point out some flaws here and there)
When I say Clay has flaws I mean it, his character is overall focused on him being a good, strong knight, and not the character he is when he isn’t doing all of that. (I know this is the case for all 5 of them, but hear me out)
His character development is definitely interesting (the change from ep4 to ep29 when it comes to helping macy saving her parents etc) it just feels like we barely have him NOT being a stuck up stubborn asshole. (politely)
When I mentioned other things I also wanted to mention involvement of his family, especially since we don’t know what happened between the disappearance of his family and being taken in by Merlok.
This is where the moorington analysis comes in (off topic from the Clay analysis but everything I said yesterday can really just be slammed here)
We know that Fletch and Clay either slowly forgot eachother over time or never actually met eachother, which understandably makes sense depending which way you see it.
but because of the incredibly messy nature of the canon timeline, it’s hard to put things together and actually have them make sense., especially with Wanda being turned to stone by merlok and the aftermath on her sons.
Clay and fletcher couldn’t have actually met eachother when they were younger, and I know this sounds complicated but for the actual timeline to work, they couldn’t actually have met eachother.
The only way I’m assuming it’s going to work is Wanda disappearing after Fletcher was actually born, as Fletcher was placed in the orphanage without Clay. and I doubt they would just.. ignore Clay when they initially took Fletcher in. Merlok is incredibly important to the Moorington timeline, as he was with Wanda as she began turning evil, initially he was the one to turn her to stone, in hopes of finding a spell to help her.
Now understand I am NOT blaming Merlok for taking 5 years to find Clay, because that’s wasn’t his fault. At this time he had also lost his sister, and the entire wizard’s council. I doubt looking for a child was really at the top of his priorities at that time.
Understand that it makes sense for merlok to take so long, while yes it didn’t take long for the initial search. The village that Clay was initially located in is off the maps of knighton as a whole, there’s a reason it’s “the dullest village in all of knighton” because barely any fucker knows it actually exists, I doubt it would be the first place Merlok would reasonably look.
Wanda makes this much more of an interesting case, because wouldn’t merlok have some sort of knowledge about his own nephews? perhaps he slowly forgot over time, whatever the case is, it barely makes any sort of sense.
We know Clay was influenced from a young age to become a knight, before Merlok even found him. which leaves the question as to if he was influenced by his father, just before said father disappeared?
* Understanding the reason that Merlok lied to Clay about his magic makes sense, to him, Clay is the he only alive family member he has left, and he didn’t want whatever happened to his sister to happen to his nephew too.
I apologise to every fucking nk fan for me absolutely overthinking this wacky family, but somebody gotta be the insane one here.

It would be hilarious if batsis! Reader managed to flee her dimension but ended up in like, Earth 63 a.k.a DC VS. Vampires universe.
Reader unlocks a metagene or finds an Apokolops Motherbox that let's her warp to other dimensions and she tries to run from the Batfam by 'jumping' and just runs into infinitely worse reincarnations of them
Like just for example uhhhh I know this is a separate character for a moment but have you considered how absolutely unhinged yandere Superman from the Injustice timelines would be. He loses Lois and his unborn child and he's in full "you know what, not only is murder ok, what if I bonded with Brainiac's ship and literally became a brainwashing fucking fascist" mode and he winds up transferring a lot of trauma and misplaced affection and obsession onto you like, and that's on top of the other unhinged shit like killing Shazam who is you know, not that he knew but that's literally a child, he accidentally but still did indeed murder a child, and even after learning the truth he's like eh sacrifices must be made, and like, THE BAD ENDING? He literally figures out how to rob people of free will and JUMPS at the opportunity like, this scene is genuinely horrifying "You make the right choice or I make it for you" like oh my god i would actually kill myself before I let him get his hands on me
Then you have not exactly a universe but more of a timeline but, you want to talk about unhinged alternate versions, we literally have Flashpoint Thomas Wayne. Bruce brutalizes locks up and or frames and even sends away anyone who messes with you. Thomas just outright fucking kills them. Thomas literally has nothing to lose and has no qualms against being an absolute menace. Like god romantic/sexual yandere are always my cookies and cream but like platonic yandere Thomas would either be the most terrifyingly protective person you'd ever met or extremely soft to you and you alone because he's already lost his family, his CHILD, so like, absolutely fuck your chances if you stumble upon him and he forms some kind of bond
Just also imagine just as a general concept like the whole universe travelling thing basically plops you down in the same place just different worlds and how either convenient or terrible that would be. You wind up jumping from the Batcave straight into the Owlcave. You go from the Watchtower to The Crime Syndicate's HQ or some other evil Justice League. But alternatively in more positive twists, from a Joker hideout being kidnapped to like.... the Lego Batman movie where him and Bruce are just chilling on the couch eating popcorn and also I still have to watch that movie I hear it's absolutely adorable 😩❤️ or you go from a Gotham that is just genuinely fucking awful, not even the smallest sparks of joy, crime and lunatics everywhere, full on edgelord comic book world some real The Boys But The Horrible Comic Version shit, and you wind up jumping from that to Brave and the Bold Bruce and get to basically relax and be your inner kid in full on superhero camp wackiness like genuinely BatB is soul healing in it's genuine, idk, wholesomeness like look at these dorks
While on the subject of heroes and such I'm trying to remember how much I actually wound up reading/watching through YouTube videos of the Invincible comic bc I'll be real I'm still down pretty bad for Nolan Grayson 😩 actually him and Superman give me very similar ideas of "oh what if you turned out to be a member of my species and I want to either train you or adopt you or mate you or whatever and I'm occasionally being casually terrifying about it" like idk if I mentioned this before but like, imagine finally learning how to fly and you get found out by Nolan (or Clark) and they literally help fly you all the way back home and like, it genuinely IS to make sure you get home, you just learned to fly and you could very easily get lost, but also like, they're following you home as you demand them not to and you're so inexperienced with any sort of fighting that if you tried to punch whichever one in anger they'd just like catch your fist and be like "oh wow you can hit harder than most your age that's really impressive 😊" but like very, very much still fending you off like you're not that much different than a human to them
I feel like I should often be, how do I put this, I love adhd ranting about shit and explaining things to people so I kinda feel like sometimes I should genuinely just talk about certain things to introduce them to people who have no idea what I'm talking about because like, idk I often talk and refer to things in ways only consumers of that media would understand and I could occasionally like you know link a clip or ramble or something to include other people? For example, this is an example of why I think Nolan is scary but also like in a sexy controlling way 😏 you know, hypothetically. And like he literally tried to teach his son a horrifying tough love "humans don't matter earth doesn't matter only we viltrumites matter fuck earth lets conquer it for our race" lesson by literally holding his son's body up in a subway to be hit by the oncoming train and let his invulnerability literally rip the passengers inside the train apart while his son was SCREAMING IN HORROR BY THE WAY. And also still scary but more mildly, did I ever reblog that Superman art where he's got you up in the air with him and your like extreme fear of heights has you clinging and hugging onto him because, also something both of them would do 🥰 cuddles because you don't want to be dropped and die! Not that they would do it but, you know, bonding, yay! ❤️

HI so im just gonna throw out a random idea and see if it sticks, cause i have Thoughts once again and i refuse to keep them to myself.
(also, this is long as hell, you have been warned.)
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
give me Mario and Luigi as a broken family. from the outside in they look almost perfect, the wacky brother duo who could do it all from princess saving to ghost hunting to plumbing.
Mario is the older brother, by 8 or so years, the extraverted and energetic hero who is always ready to go save the princess or lend a helping hand. he's the one who's got every situation under control, his confidence and happy demeanor bringing smiles to every toad around.
his younger brother Luigi, on the other hand, seems much more like an introverted homebody than anything else. he's the one staying behind when Mario goes on his big missions, helping to rebuild the Mushroom Kingdom after each kidnapping. he's the one doing most of the actual plumbing, his anxious and quiet personality keeping him distant from everyone. despite that, he's successfully faced off King Boo three separate times.
behind the outside facade, however, things aren't as shiny between the brothers as they may seem.
their upbringing in Brooklyn was rough. they spent most of their younger years homeless, and given their age gap, it was Mario who had to provide for Luigi in any way he could. that meant stealing food to eat, but also fighting those that wanted to harm them - and Luigi's trusting nature made it a common occurrence. it's due to this that Mario was forced to control both his and Luigi's life to the fullest, and this behaviour, born out of fear for their very lives, became so engrained in him that he never let it go even when they were finally safe after being transported to the mushroom kingdom.
for Luigi, this complete control from Mario meant that he was never really able to develop his own personality. he never went anywhere without Mario, never did anything without Mario; and while his brother liked to believe that he was keeping his baby brother safe in their little bubble, unknowing of the hardships they were facing, Luigi knew.
he only really noticed it when he started to attend school (after his brother learned a trade and managed to find a stable job). he saw it in the way the other children sneered at his worn clothes, heard it in the way they would whisper about him when they thought he couldn't hear. Luigi was never outright bullied, but he was definitely Othered by his peers, and coupling that with his brother's iron grip on everything he did, being unable to explore any part of himself, and the deep-seated paranoia that Mario let slip in any of their conversation messed with his head. it's how he became so anxious, so deeply afraid of everything around him, and how he ultimately ended up tying his worth as a person to his brother's existence. he was absolutely dependent on Mario.
when Luigi graduated, he learned the same trade his brother had, and worked at the same company as well. they continued this co-dependency for a few years; during one job they did together they were transported to the mushroom kingdom - Luigi in his early 20s and Mario approaching 30 - and they were taken in by Princess Peach.
they were offered a nice little house to live in, just outside the capital. their plumbing skills were helpful, as they quickly started to earn their keep. Mario especially became a well-liked figure among toads, being a master at hiding any negative emotion inside him to keep a calm and happy front. he made sure to be the one to gain every toad's favour, so that they wouldn't be forced out of the home they were given, and so that Luigi would, by pure association, never face any trouble here.
when the kidnappings started, Mario quickly became the mushroom kingdom's hero. his survival and fighting skills led to a quick rescue, and it paved the way for friendship between the Princess and the brothers (Peach being the first friend that Mario truly allowed Luigi to have, eventually extending that grace to Peach's cousin, Daisy).
Peach and Luigi's friendship had a slow beginning, with Luigi having close to no social skills or hobbies that they could talk about. but as she gained Mario's trust over time, he started allowing Luigi to be alone with her for short periods of time; and those were just what she needed to help him get to know himself.
it started with baking, and then later on cooking. sewing, piano, singing, painting - bit by bit she introduced the younger brother to various hobbies to help him find out what he liked to do. aside from these activities, the longer they spent together the deeper their friendship ran. Peach was a healing presence to be around, and Luigi proved himself to be a caring and immensely loyal friend to her.
their friendship also meant, however, that Luigi started insisting on joining Mario in his rescue missions, something Mario absolutely hated the thought of. it's too dangerous for you to go, he would say. she's my best friend, Mario, i can't take being left alone to worry.
Mario would always put his foot down in the end.
this power struggle between the two would only grow bigger and bigger. Luigi wanted more independence, to make his own decisions, and Mario always denied him, telling him that it was to keep him safe. arguments became more and more frequent, and they both became angrier at the other for their behaviour. it all came to a head when Luigi, furious at having been left behind again, left the house in the middle if the night following after his brother in an attempt to help with the rescue.
it took him much longer to traverse the plains towards the koopa kingdom than it did Mario; after all, he had never left Toad Town before, nor travelled this far on foot on only survival equipment. he did reach Bowser's castle eventually, finding a way to sneak in unseen. in the chaos that ensued within the castle, Luigi found a way to help his brother out but paid the price of being caught by him, too. it infuriated the older brother to no end.
the walk back to the mushroom kingdom was tense, and largely silent. Mario was refusing to look at anyone or even say a single word, only keeping a tight grip on Luigi's wrist as they walked. Luigi was deeply afraid of Mario's wrath in that moment, knowing he was in for it when they got back home. Peach tried to fill the silence somehow, keep both brothers distracted, but the older one stayed unreactive whereas any light conversation from the younger was short.
the two dropped the Princess off at the castle, and she watched pale and afraid as Mario dragged Luigi back to their home without so much as a goodbye.
the fight that started when the front door closed was the worst one yet. Mario was yelling, gesturing wildly as he reiterated the thongs he's told Luigi a million times over. his brother was trying to defend himself, for the first time truly trying to air out his grievances and get him to see his perspective. but Mario would barely let him get a word in, not even looking at him as he continued. it culminated in Mario telling Luigi in anger the very thing he had been afraid of his whole life: that he was to blame for what happened to them, that their hardships were his fault, that he was a burden to his brother.
it broke something inside of Luigi.
Mario continued screaming out every thought that came to his head, not noticing the way his brother had gone quiet, the way tears were rapidly streaming down his face. in fact, the older brother wouldn't notice it at all for the rest of the conversation, instead banishing his brother to his room to reflect on what he's done before leaving the house to cool off.
Luigi felt numb, and out of place. his brother had just told him he hated him (using different words) and then left him. it almost seemed like the walls were closing on him the longer he stayed in this room, suffocating him with every memory that existed here. it took him a few hours before he could move his stiff and tired body - but when he did it was dead of night, and Mario was still gone. the words he had said echoed through his head relentlessy. and as if he were on auto-pilot, he packed up a few sets of clothes, some non-perishables from the pantry, and whatever other thing his fried brain could think of. with only a short note, he left behind the life he knew.
Luigi ran away.
he didn't care to notice which way he went as he ran, all he wanted at that moment is to run as far away as possible and for as long as he could. he had to get away, no matter where the road took him. the road he had taken, however, was the one leading straight to the koopa kingdom; his brain having defaulted to the only familiar route it knew in the darkness.
and so the plumber found himself disheveled and dirty as he faced the koopa capital, having spent a night or two on unfamiliar roads with nightmares to boot. his eyes were bloodshot, dark circles under his eyes, and his body all kinds of exhausted.
he spent a few more nights camping just outside the town, during the day trying to get any odd job that would pay. he needed the money to afford a temporary stay and food, as his rations were depleting at a quicker rate than expected. it was hard to find those odd jobs, however, as no one seemed willing to trust a disheveled, dirty, unknown human who only appeared days ago. fair, he thought, not being able to really bring himself to care.
soldiers patrolling the border of the capital caught sight of him, and, after realizing he posed no threat, took pity on him. they brought him to the castle for an audience with the king, hoping that he may give this human a second chance at life that he so clearly needed.
when Luigi saw Bowser, he felt that familiar fear creep in. it lasted only for a single moment, as his brain decided to harshly remind him that Bowser was Mario's enemy, not his. and he couldn't take the Peach justification as he had left her behind without a second thought as well. so why should he care? it made no difference after all.
the plumber spoke to the king with utmost politeness, yet the numbness was easily recognizable by anyone who saw him. when Bowser, who evidently didn't see or remember him from the last rescue, questioned him, Luigi said he had nowhere to return to, no home to call his; that he was a plumber by trade looking for work anywhere it was available. Bowser offered him a deal: become the official castle plumber (and pick up some other skills along the way to be useful), and in exchange he would be given a staff bedroom and be fed 3 meals a day. Luigi accepted.
the first few weeks passed with no issue. the plumber did his work quietly and efficiently, staying respectful to any other caste staff and nodding to the King when they passed each other. one night, however, King Bowser found the plumber staring out at the rivers of lava in the dead of night, tears rolling down his cheeks and sniffling. when the koopa approached him, Luigi went back to that neutrality/apathy that Bowser was used to seeing from him; but their conversation, brief and guarded, brought out a tiny shred of understanding for the other. there was more to the man in green than the koopa had thought, and now he felt interest in getting to know him. Luigi, in turn, realized that Bowser may not be as monstrous or power hungry as he had heard before. the smallest of olive branches had been extended.
over the coming time, Bowser would be the one to make an effort for friendship/companionship. he would slowly start breaking down the walls that Luigi had built to protect himself from the world and his own thoughts. the process required a lot of patience, something Bowser struggles with, but seeing how Luigi treats him so normally, as if he were any other person and not a monster made it worth it.
meanwhile, Mario was going crazy in the mushroom kingdom. the first 2 days after their fight he had refused to enter Luigi's room, believing that he was in one of his moods and thats why he didn't respond to Mario's calls for food. by the third morning his anger had faded and worry set in. he knocked on his brother's door, gently calling to him that he wants to talk and apologize, and to come out and eat. when he received no reply, he opened the door himself to see the room empty, no sign of Luigi, his essentials packed and bed made. his blood ran cold as the realization swept in that his brother had run away.
in a panic, he ran to Peach's castle. when he found her, he barely got the words out of Luigi's disappearance before he had a panic attack, his head filling with self-loathing thoughts. he's not aware as he's taken to the infirmary and seen by the castle's doctor, and it takes him a while to come back down again. Peach is by his side the entire time, teary-eyed, as she watched over Mario and prayed for Luigi's safety.
for the first time in their lives, the brothers have been completely separated from one another. Mario spent his days in grief, staying in the castle, trying to break out every night to go find Luigi himself. Peach increased security around the castle, holding him back, saying that Mario would make no progress in the state he was in. she sent out several scout groups to search the entire kingdom for her friend, but the results stayed fruitless.
Luigi and Bowser's friendship deepens in the meantime. slowly but sure his walls start to come down, he showed more emotions, smiling and laughing just the smallest bit as he gets to know Bowser. he also met the King's son, Junior, whom he got along great with. things seemed to be looking up for him; he had found a new home, he was making new friends apart from the King as well, and the townspeople started welcoming him.
then, for the first time in a while, Bowser kidnapped Peach once more.
if truth be told, the day started like any other for Luigi. he was told by Kamek that Bowser was busy with his kingly duties, so he spent the morning helping the kitchen staff prep for lunch and then read a book in the library. by early afternoon, Junior had come looking for him to play a while, and after that Luigi went into the city for a small job or two, exchanging pleasantries with the citizens of the capital. by the time he was back in the castle, the day was over and the prince was asleep. he came across the King by complete accident, greeting him as he usually did when both he and Bowser froze at the heartbreaking cry of Luigi's name.
hesitantly looking up at the cage he hadn't seen before, he saw a person he thought he'd never see again. in that cage stood Peach, holding on tightly to the bars as she cried. Luigi's small whisper of Peachie...? told Bowser all he needed to know in that moment. when the plumber started walking towards the cage, picking up speed with every step and reaching for it, Bowser quietly opened and lowered the cage. he watched in shock and surprise as the Princess threw herself at the plumber, sobbing, and told him how worried she was about him, how glad she was that he was safe. it took him a moment to react, but when he did, Luigi broke down completely in her arms, both sinking to the ground in their embrace.
Kamek ended up leading them all to the study to talk it out. Luigi had clammed up again, refusing to talk to Bowser or Peach. Bowser put a gentle hand to Luigi's back; when he hesitantly looked up at the koopa, he saw no sign of betrayal, or hurt. just gentle concern, and a quiet promise of i'm here. he explained to them both the fight he had with Mario, how he had come to the koopa kingdom and how he found his place here. all Peach cared to know was if he was safe and happy. Luigi's affirmation of that had Bowser happier than he wanted to admit. out of that conversation also came the reason Bowser was kidnapping the princess in the first place; that being resources. the vulnerability of that conversation and Luigi's question of helping the koopa kingdom has Peach and Bowser agreeing to start peace negotiations.
as always, Mario came to rescue Peach. upon Luigi's insistence, she didn't tell Mario that his brother was there, and she did her best to try and get Luigi's perspective through his head - hoping that eventually the brothers could meet again and work out their issues. for now, she could only see her dear friend when negotiations were happening.
on the koopa end of things, that vulnerability from the conversation with peach paved the way for a deeper relationship between Bowser and Luigi. things developed slowly between them, as the plumber would need time before he can truly trust again, but the affection and the intentions were there. they were both happy to explore this new dynamic at a slow pace, both wanting to do right by the other. very fluffy.
when Luigi felt ready for it, he asked Daisy to tell his brother that he was well. he didn't want to reveal his location, or say anything else; but he was starting to heal, and a part of him missed his brother dearly, and so he figured letting him know hey, i'm okay, and when i'm ready for it i'll see you again was alright. when Daisy delivered the message per phone call, Mario was frantic to know more, but Peach and Daisy both talked him down. Mario was slowly starting to accept that he had to go at Luigi's pace, let him make his own decisions. it pained him, but he agreed. he told Daisy to tell Luigi that he was glad he was well, and that he would wait.
the response from his brother had Luigi in shambles for a day, one part happy that his brother was finally coming around and the other furious that it took him running away for it to happen. Bowser stayed beside him throughout that day, offering his comfort to his sweetheart.
and so, the years started passing. peace was signed between the two kingdoms, and small steps were taken every once in a while by the brothers to slowly repair their relationship. it started with the passing of messages through Daisy, and it would turn into letters updating the other on their lives. Mario told Luigi that he was with Peach, and in turn Luigi was honest about his relationship with Bowser (that one took Mario a while to process, but he was learning to let go of that need for control; Luigi told him he was happy and that's all that mattered).
the first time they meet in person again is a few years after their fight and the peace treaty. Peach and Mario made their way to the koopa kingdom on Luigi's invitation, and the reunion in the throne room was tense at first. Peach and Bowser both kept watch over the brothers, ready to step in at any moment.
the brothers themselves were frozen in place, staring at one another. it felt so foreign to stand in front of each other, after years apart and limited communication. Mario took the first steps, placing a hesitant hand to Luigi's cheek. when he responded to the soft call of his name, both brothers hugged each other tightly, crying openly and loudly. over the two days that he and Peach were in the koopa kingdom, that is all Mario and Luigi did - no words were exchanged between them, but they did not let go of the other, catching up on the lost affection.
it would take many more years for their relationship to become "normal" again. many arguments, periods of no contact, and apologies. they were both healing from a lifetime of hurt at their own paces, but ultimately they both made the effort to repair their relationship. when Mario and Peach married, Luigi was there as best man, and the same was said for Luigi and Bowser's wedding. Junior would eventually come to adore his uncle Mario, and his children would enjoy many vacations in the koopa kingdom with uncle Luigi. they both chose different paths for themselves, but what mattered most was that they both chose a path of love and healing, one that they could walk together in time.

so that's it i guess. now that i've written it out, this turned into a whole ass fic idea when that wasn't the case originally, CLEARLY i don't know how to be concise. oh well.
if anyone wants to pick this up, feel free! just let me know if you do something with it because i wanna see the results of it :D
