#I want to see him bond with his nieces and nephews so bad
lunar-years · 3 months

Oh man oh man oh man if Phoebe, who is basically co-parented by Uncle Roy, gets a sibling who comes with her own dad? I feel like that’s SO crunchy, because if Roy is there as the *third* adult instead of the second he’s not going to be as involved as he was with Phoebe and I feel like there’s going to be so many complicated feelings about that for Phoebe. (Including probably some “good, I don’t have to share” feelings lol.)
YEAH. Listen I love the headcanon because it's SO crunchy along the way but then it ends really happily because their little family expands and more love is never a bad thing <3 also ROY & Co. WITH A LITTLE BABY!!! <3<3 let's appreciate the vision!!
but yeah I think like, if Roy's sister (who i'm going to call Ruth for the sake of the rest of my response because it's too difficult to not use a name and keep everyone straight lmao) was seriously dating someone and then was like hey we're getting married and then shortly thereafter was like oh yeah by the way I'm pregnant:
Roy would definitely go through it a bit because in my head, he didn't realize what was happening/how it really was between Ruth and Phoebe's Dad until Ruth was already like, REALLY in it. Maybe he even liked the guy. I sort of think he did, just because it's extra prickly and it adds to the intense anger over the situation we see him express in canon. Like, not only is he mad at himself for not realizing how Ruth was being treated, he's also mad that he didn't see the signs and wasn't around when he needed to be, and he's furthermore mad that he was friendly with this guy the times he'd met him when he of course should have known to slug him in the face in advance from the first time he met him, etc. Irrational thought patterns, you know how it is.
So. His panicky brain realistically knows this ISN'T the same. But he's also extra vigilant, especially now that he not only has Ruth to worry about but also Phoebe. So he really has to talk things through with his therapist and Ruth and express his fears to Jamie and Keeley before he really can start to feel okay about the whole thing.
Then once he's accepted Ruth's new boo and is excited for all of them, he gets hit with the "you're getting a new niece or nephew!" news, which sets off the panic alarms AGAIN. because what if he's used up all his good uncle juices on Phoebes and there's not enough left over for the new kid? (i just think Roy tragically overthinks everything lmao)
Also, and the Bigger Thing, is how does he navigate just having to be an uncle to this child without the extra responsibility of having to be a co-parent to them like he's been for Phoebe? What's the balance there? And can he step back to let this new person into Phoebe's life, and what if he fills up the role Roy has in her life and pushes Roy out completely? He wants to give as much of himself to this new child as he'd given to Phoebe but he doesn't quite know what new role to play.
Meanwhile Phoebe is having a similar crisis about accepting this new person and then a new sibling into her home. As you say, she doesn't want Roy to not be there in the same way he's always been there, and she also has all the typical pre-teen angst and this is just one more thing. She doesn't want anything to change. She'd very skeptical of this new guy who is suddenly always around. Why does her mum even like him? etc. etc.
This is a great opportunity for Phoebe and Jamie bonding and an Uncle Jamie teaching moment, because Jamie of course also has a stepparent, and one I personally believe he was VERY skeptical of when Simon first came into his life. So he can share with Phoebe the role Simon's played in his own life and in doing so, gently encourage her to give Ruth's partner a chance. ❤️
everything ends up all right of course. Ruth's partner is a wonderful person who slides right into the family and is very patient with Phoebe and Roy both. And they all instantly fall in love with new baby. Phoebe would be the best big sister. I think it would just be really exciting for everyone involved!!

THE OC LORE THE OC LORE LETS HEAR IT??
JUST LET ME KNOW WHAT KIND OF OC LORE YOU WANT BESTIE
But I'll give you some very basic life stories about birb!Reader's older family for fun 😌 if you wanna know about the siblings, let me know, I've got lots more 👀
Reader's ENTIRE adopted family is full of Outcasts, unwanted people, and those that ended up alone whether on purpose or not. It's constantly growing so it's always an absolute madhouse and everyone is either an aunt, an uncle, or a sibling. Chaos always ensues
Her Grandpa, for example, is a true European vampire. He was a blacksmith centuries ago and is the one who teaches Reader all of her "old school" skills. All of her swordfighting skills came from him and he's the one who made the sword for Gomez. One of his favourite pastimes is throwing pop quizzes at all the grandkids to see if they're keeping up with their Romanian. He'll be damned if his grandkids don't learn his language (at least they think it's his language, he has never confirmed a single thing ever in his life). When Wednesday comes around, he's pleasantly surprised at her intellect; they talk for hours in languages Reader doesn't understand
Then there's her Abuelita. She and her parents had come up from Mexico when she was only 4 or 5 and grew up in Southern Texas. They got scattered when she was about 24 and ended up on the East Coast where she met Grandpa and the rest is history (Reader is convinced she only speaks Spanish. Jokes on her, Abuelita speaks perfect English, but the joke has been going on for so long that she can't give up on it now). She bullies Reader even more when Wednesday is around, just to see the amusement on Wednesday's face when Reader gets frustrated
Auntie C is a bad bitch, we stan. She grew up in foster care in Seattle and was miraculously adopted by Abuelita and Grandpa. Easily got her PhD and is a neurosurgeon who does NOT take any shit from the kids, especially the older ones because they damn well know better. No spouse, no kids (except for the Family Kids), ALWAYS in her hoe phase, she is living her absolute best life. She also takes no shit from Wednesday, throwing her own threats right back; it's a wonderful bonding experience
Tio's parents sent him to America at 11 so he couldn't get drawn into the Colombian Cartel. Spent almost three years roaming before being found by Aunti C, who befriended him and eventually brought him home. He's a musician at heart and taught Nicky how to play guitar (he tried teaching Reader, and she's not too shabby, but not near as good as Nicky). Tio, more often than not, is the one who teases Reader most and ABSOLUTELY gives her all kinds of shit when he finds out about Wednesday
Pop probably has the most traumatic past. Growing up on the East Coast, his father (and uncle and cousin) died in a coal mine collapse. Not long after, his mom took her own life, leaving him alone. He was adopted out of an orphanage and became the youngest of Abuelita and Grandpa's group. He and momma were high school sweethearts that got married out of college (he knows more than most about Reader's struggle with her anger, and he's her biggest supporter). He thinks Wednesday is a good anchor for Reader to finally start trying to heal
Momma, strangely enough, had a perfectly normal life. She still talks with her parents, has one sister and a few nieces and nephews. Everyone teases her for not having trauma, to which she says "watch it before I GIVE YOU something traumatic to worry about." She mother's Wednesday in her own way and even though Wednesday will never admit it, she enjoys the genuine care from someone other than her own family

Hello!, I see that the request is open. May I ask how the union and eunjang would act upon meeting their partner's family?
Sorry for my poor english, I'm still learning. 😔🥲
pls, your english is better than mine! 💞🫶
meeting your family ;
Tumblr media
weak hero x gn!reader
gray yeon
➤ he’s actually pretty chill about it
➤ you and gray both know that he’s a model student and would make the perfect son-in-law, but you’re a bit worried his lack of expression may unease your parents
➤ to your surprise, after about three minutes with your parents, gray had a smile on his face
➤ your parents found him very respectful and showered him with compliments. you think he may have needed that more than he thought
➤ your mother made you promise to bring him over more often, and gray was more than happy to take her offer
ben park
➤ ben tells you he isn’t nervous, but you know he’s lying by the way he constantly fixes his hair or straightens his outfit
➤ “you look great,” you keep telling him, trying to calm him, but it’s like he doesn’t hear you as the two of you wait for your parents to open their door
➤ from the moment the two of you walked in, your mom absolutely adored him. “oh, y/n, why didn’t you tell us how handsome he is!”
➤ it’s funny watching ben get so flustered over every little thing, basically begging your mom to do the dishes and help out with dinner despite telling him he didn’t have to
➤ by the time the night comes to an end, your parents are already making plans for the next time you have dinner
alex go
➤ man is shitting bricks he’s so nervous
➤ you have to keep adjusting his jacket since he won’t stop fiddling with the zipper
➤ “alex, calm down. they’re not that bad. it’ll be fine!”
➤ it was not fine, but it wasn’t alex’s fault! you were helping your mom in the kitchen while your dad laughed at your boyfriend’s jokes and got so distracted watching them bond that you burned dinner
➤ “if i were you, alex,” you hear your dad tell your boyfriend as you and your mom put a small fire out. “i’d run away from that one while i still can.” “dad!”
gerard jin
➤ your parents are so excited to meet him, simply because of how much you tell them about him
➤ honestly, you’re the anxious one. so anxious, in fact, that you forgot that your parents were babysitting your young nephew and niece while your sister was out of town
➤ you weren’t nervous in a bad way, though, just shaky about the whole situation. before gerard, no one you’d dated had ever met your family
➤ gerard kept a hand on your back or shoulder the whole time, doing a pretty good job and keeping conversation as you silently analyzed everyone’s facial expressions and body language
➤ as he played with your niece and nephew, your dad pulled you away to let you know that you picked correctly with this one
donald na
➤ to your surprise, he’s really worried about the impression he’ll give off to your family
➤ “hey, don’t be nervous! you’re amazing, and my feelings for you aren’t going to change no matter what they think.”
➤ that calms him a bit since his biggest worry was you viewing him in a different light. he doesn’t have the best history with parents or adults in general, so he just wants to make you proud
➤ you won’t lie, your parents weren’t sold at first. your sister, on the other hand (a tattoo artist), absolutely loved donald and his vibe. “bro, next time you want some ink, ask y/n to take you to my shop. on the house.”
➤ donald was pretty discouraged after leaving, since your parents kept the farewell’s brief. you make sure to cover his hands and face in kisses, and once you were home, your mom texted you a quick “he’s so in love with you. happy y/n happy in laws!”
jake ji
➤ you know your family is going to embarrass you, so you’re more afraid of what jake will think of you after than what your parents think of him
➤ as expected, your mom waited a whole six and a half minutes before pulling out the photo book
➤ “look! this was the day y/n fell down the stairs and put a hole in the wall!” “mom!”
➤ no matter how embarrassing, jake laughs along with your family. though, he’ll keep a hand on your knee or thigh so you know he isn’t laughing at you and finds you adorable
➤ when all is said and done, your mom tells you that if you don’t marry jake, she’ll disown you. jk… jk
wolf keum
➤ you’re not worried about your parents will react to him, you’re worried about how he’ll react to them
➤ “they’re boring, okay, but if they start, i don’t know, acting weird? just ignore them? please?”
➤ “y/n… i will be on my best behavior.”
➤ and he would be! though, when your mom asks about his bandages or what he does in his free time, wolf has to clench his jaw and force a smile. thankfully, you’re there to cover :)
➤ still, your parents don’t mind him. they’re happy as long as you are, but wouldn’t be heartbroken if you break up

Daichi is the eldest in his family with four younger siblings (canon), with four younger siblings. Which really all adds up to why he's so...the definition of responsible. But that got me thinking to a different direction he could go... Eldest!Daichi who was taking care of his baby siblings while he was a baby too. Learning how to change diapers and help his mom rock the babies back to sleep carefully.
Eldest!Daichi who learned how to cook early so he could help make breakfasts and lunches for the kids so his parents wouldn't worry.
Eldest!Daichi who went to all his siblings sports matches or sat down to help with their homework since he went through the grades first.
Eldest!Daichi who taught all his younger siblings how to ride on bikes after taking the training wheels off. Promising them he wouldn't let go and he never did. Until they were fully balanced and off on their own. Eldest!Daichi who felt like he could never be weak or unsure in front of anyone. Especially because he was also the strong one in his friend group and needed to be there to take care of them. Eldest!Daichi who hated being called the "dad" of the friend group but didn't want to say anything to anyone. Because he didn't want them to be hurt, even though he hated the joke. I mean he's just a regular high school kid like them.
Eldest!Daichi getting into his first relationship in college and it getting serious really quickly. But things ending badly because his partner wanted kids and Daichi put his foot completely down. Eldest!Daichi holding strong opinions against having kids because he knew what a large sacrifice having them actually was. And he didn't feel ready just because he was getting older. This ended up being a pretty big thorn in most of his relationships. Eldest!Daichi not knowing what being taken care of meant until you came into his life. Someone who finally fought him to say love is about being there for each other not just handling everything.
Eldest!Daichi feeling a love he's never felt before watching you immediately get along with his siblings and seamlessly fitting into everyone's life. Being shocked when you see he has his hands full with the youngest ones so you get up to go pick up the others from a sleepover.
Eldest!Daichi watching you bond really well with his younger sisters, giving them really good advice as they navigate being pre-teens and teens. He would take pictures when all three of you decided to match, making that his phone wall paper.
Eldest!Daichi listening in shock when you share stories about how his mom was apparently always worried about him when he was young because he got sick often. How she would make his favorite dishes and that she was nervous to have more kids in case it took away attention from him but that he was such a perfect kid. He had completely forgotten those memories. Eldest!Daichi coming straight to you for cuddles after having a particularly bad fight with his younger brother over something ridiculous. But he had accidentally said something really harsh. Hearing you out when you said to make amends because that's family. Eldest!Daichi being more honest and leaning on his family more whenever he needed help. Because every time he needed someone you were always there to catch him. Reminding him that he's human and needs his people. Eldest!Daichi re-thinking all his life decisions watching you wrestle with his nieces and nephews during a family party. The sight of you blowing raspberries on his niece's belly and hearing you both giggle sets off every nerve in his brain.
bonus nsfw
Tumblr media
Eldest!Daichi making a mental note that he likes some nicknames, when he hears you moan out Daddy real sweet into his ears. He's got your legs hooked over his shoulders, pushed deep in you. Hand over your stomach pushing down where he feels his tip hitting. Gasps of asking for more spilling out of your sweet mouth. He's still got time before becoming a dad for real but no harm in practicing until then.

Favorite headcanon for every ghoul! Go!
goood question
my fav hc for dew is actually my voice claim for him or his eyes (he is partially blind in one of them due to his transition)
for swiss, it’s that he has a big ass family. two moms, his dad, plenty of siblings and nieces and nephews. he’s the middle child and he’s very very big on family, it’s why he’s so affectionate with his pack.
when mountain isn’t drumming, he has a huge passion for piercing/tattooing. he’s p much covered head to toe in body art and has a back piece with plants that symbolize each member of his pack.
rain is def bioluminescence. i was a massive godzilla kid and i’m a huge fan of the way they use bioluminescence in his more recent adaptations and it’s p much where i got the idea from. he uses it as an intimidation display sometimes
aurora also has a similar thing w bioluminescence but hers has more to do with light reflection rather than something like rains, who radiates light from his body. ykwim? her horns and skin are iridescent as well.
i don’t have like. anything for phantom but i like the single white hair streak. reminds me of a darker time in my life…..(if u get it u get it)
cirrus would probably just be my hc that she’s the alpha. they hate to see a bad bitch telling everyone what to do. she’s my silly rabbit but she runs this band like it’s the navy. she loves her ghouls very very much and her and dew are kind of co leaders of the pack they have a warrior’s bond (bipolar disorder)
cumulus would have to be that she has a big passion for fashion and that she’s the smartest out of all of the ghouls. she’s literally elle woods from legally blonde like
sunny is so scottish to me like she has big red curls and freckles and has the biggest swearing problem out of all of the ghouls she is the embodiment of idgaf she’s winning the idgaf war
aether would have to be that he has a interest in healing magic, not just bc he’s a quintessence ghoul but bc he picked it up during dews transition bc he wanted to help him and it just kinda stuck ya know. he loves helping people and it makes him feel like he’s picking up where omega left off. it gives him purpose.
i don’t have a lot for any that aren’t current ghouls but like. ifrit is alex turner. mist is a wine aunt. zephyr is Old as shit. ivy is the reason mountain got into tattooing and body art and was mountain’s mentor not just for drums, but for that as well. uhhh omega was very into astronomy and space in general. and alpha had a problem with accidentally setting his guitar strings on fire when he first was summoned (he just got too excited u guys…)
i def have a lot more for each of these fuckers but i’m sick rn and my brain is making microwave noises i cant think of shit

Still no writing, and I put the editing on hold because pain is a thing that dominates my life 😭
So instead I decided to decorate my new dining table! It came unvarnished and had the perfect surface for drawing on, so that's what I did!
Tumblr media
It gets better, I promise 🤣
I had an idea for a flower lion with the leaves as its mane. And yeah, I was slightly concerned I was about to fuck up my table with bad art but I really wanted to do this. It won't be just me drawing on the table, my nieces and nephews will too. I thought it'd be a fun family bonding thing for us to do and a nice family memento, plus their moms never let them draw on anything at their houses and I'm the "cool aunt" 🤣
Tumblr media
Anyway, I gessoed the area I was gonna paint and redid the sketch. Already looks better, right?
Tumblr media
Yup, he's pink. Yup, that's my concept design on the seat to the left. I really struggled with getting the shade of pink I wanted. I never mixed paint colours before to get a custom colour, so this was a learning experience.
Tumblr media
Yeah, his mane is big. I tried shading the bridge of his nose lighter, but this is also something I never did before. I never really painted much and my teachers only cared about the students who were already good at art and didn't need help, so this is me learning as a go. And I'm still scared at this point I fucked up the table 🤣
This actually took me like a week to do in total, so it was a slow process of painting bits at a time, stopping to see if I liked it, trying to fix any mistakes I made and then taking another break to rest.
Tumblr media
Oh look, he changed colour!
The lighting isn't great, but I mixed another two shades of pink, including one metallic and went over him. Don't worry, imma fix the scruffy parts, but this is a big improvement already 😁
Tumblr media
Okay, he's a little scruffy still, but that's on purpose. He has a fluffy texture that's hard to see because of the lighting, but it looks better in person. I decided not to fuss further with the colour and blending because I knew I'd fuck up. I saw a good stopping point so I took it. The inner layer of leaves came together quick although I was worrying how I'd do the veins in them. No matter what I do with leaves they always look terrible the second I add the details.
Tumblr media
Getting close to finished now. This was the end of last week. I went with a succulent type leaf and left off fine details. He's kinda cartoony looking so I think it works.
Tumblr media
Adding shading and outlines in places just to tidy it up, but this is pretty much done. Pics are kinda bad, but whenever I look at it I'm happy with how cute it is, so I'm happy with the end result.
Tumblr media
Got a tiny bit heavy handed with the sealant but this is all done! That's not coming off the table without some effort. I love the shading on his eyes and face, and I think it's a nice contrast to how simple the mane is. He looks like a happy lion and I'm happy with it ❤️

Since I'll be off to school tomorrow, I wanted to post something before all my motivations gets pulled away from my body. So I decided to discuss Stardust's side from the family, as well as the two main antagonists of the Starlight Starbright AU ☆
! Before we any further, however, it should be common knowledge that this AU and "Anything and Everything, All of The Time" aren't in the same universe. Even though I kinda made it obvious, I'm leaving for anyone who maybe new!
we got out of the way? good, let's get started-
First Off, The Moms:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Moonlight✨🌙 and Sea Fairy🌊🐚
ML: Ruler of the World of Dreams as well as the princess of the City of Wizards. Her job is watch over the slumbering and their dreams, but although wanted by some, isn't the job for everyone. . .In this AU, not only do SD and ML meet and reconcile way earlier, protecting the city is now a team effort, allowing her to not only see her beloved Sea Fairy, but spend time with her family. Speaking of which, she acts sweet and bubbly around the kids, trying her best to be the fun aunt. With her brother, they have a great bond, despite sometimes annoying him at times, they still care about each other (ML also somewhat has a fear of outshining SD, purely because she views SD's relationship with his husband and kids perfect and doesn't want to ruin it). As for mother, she extremely supportive of her own kids, wanting them to only achieve their goals, especially if its seeking knowledge. She'll support them no matter what, even if they want to gather that knowledge themselves. . .
SF: She's one of the oldest and strongest fae on Earthbread, making her one of the deadliest. She spends her days protecting the sea, watching over those who enters and leaves, whilst punishing those who disrespect the sea. She's much more the softspoken and reserved type around family, unlike her spouse, so when it comes down to having the family visit, she doesn't really like to talk much. But despite that, she loves spending time with her own children, including her little nieces and nephews (To add to her introverted nature, ML knows of a spell that would allow her to leave the sea and walk on land and once asked if she wanted to use it to visit family. And SF denied it, saying that "she preferred them her instead" which was only half the truth). When it came to parenting, she was relatively lay back for a mother, which is both a good and bad thing. She never really set rules or boundaries for her kids, only providing care and comfort for them, both mentally and emotionally. Her kids are the physical proof of the moon and sea's love after all
Their abilities:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ML and SF
Next, the SeaMoon kids (aka our Main Antagonist):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
White Lily🌸🦋 and Herd🍃🦋
WL: In this AU, she actually doesn't become Dark Enchantress, instead actually manages to fight back and escape, basically unharmed, physically at least. . . In her attempts to spread the truth, she was ignored and ridiculed by Earthbread's higher-ups. This added with the information she, drove her into the brake of insanity, forcing her to resign in the deepest forest. . .From a young age, she has always been a curious fae, every day, it seemed like she had a brand-new question to ask. At first, nothing necessarily ground-breaking happened, sure she questioned things, but never left the safety of the forest, alongside her brother. But after meeting four young adventurers as a child, she forms a new interest. . . gaining knowledge. . . To quinch her endless thirst for knowledge, she would spend most her time with her mother, Moonlight, who was more than happy to give her what she wanted; reading books, gifted by Moonlight of course, and eventually getting her enrolled into the Blueberry Academy. From then on, it was there where she was able to meet the four adventurers once more, eventually becoming one of the most legendary hero groups of all of Earthbread. . . The Ancient Heroes. Don't be fooled, she may act like the innocent hippie type, but that's merely a façade, she can snap easily, within seconds!
Herb: Despite a five year age gap, him and his sister did pretty much everything together, well. . . in till she met them. . . Because of Lily's quest for knowledge, they spent more and more apart, which absolutely devastated him considering the have strong bond. Out of every other cookie, Herb was first one White Lily went to, and upon seeing Lily distort was, there was one, or a few, cookies to blame. Working on the Lotus Island as a gardener, others assum he's naive and simple-minded, far from it, he's way more cunning than what cookies seem. He's an unhinged ball of petty, who cares loads for his family and would do anything to protect them. So fueled by revenge and jealousy, he torments the minds of not just the other Ancient Heroes, but anyone high of power, via their dreams. Being the son of Moonlight, he molds their minds like clay, giving them hellish nightmares and leaving them sleep deprived. . .
Their abilities:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
WL and H
Finally, we one of more shocking additions to the family:
Tumblr media
Red Velvet🎂🐺
During the battle between White Lily and the witches, she created the cake beasts as a means of self-defense, giving way to Red Velvet. Due to him creating by the fae and baking in their witches oven, he somehow became a crossbreed between a fae and cake beast, his fae origins he's unaware of. . . Seeing a young Red, she takes him with her, but due to issues couldn't take care of him, and so placed him under the care you the other Ancient Heroes. Because of the watchful care of the four heroes, Red Velvet develop into a amazing hero, now traveling Earthbread to help cookies in need. He's loved by basically everyone across the lands, and can you really blame them? A sweet and charming big brother figure with camp counselor levels of energy, its hard not to love him! Well. . . almost. . . Despite Red's extremely large fan club, some can't help but feel jealous of him. He's also, unfortunately, a bit naive, he's willing to do anything if it means helping others. . .
His abilities:
Tumblr media
And that's it!☆ I'm pretty surprised I was able within a day. Again, please expect me to posting a lot slower due to school, I'm hoping to dedicate time to work on me stuff. . .
But till then, stay tuned^^

From my jukebox ask Game: D6. 😁
Different Hyde
For starters, I would've developed a friendship with him and Jackie after Jackie Bags Hyde. I like the idea of them still hanging out in secret. Which would also add another layer about him sabotaging J/K's relationship. Partly because he has feelings for Jackie and another being that he knows how bad Kelso fucked her over (i.e. seeing Jackie cry over Kelso, being worried that she'd never find anyone else, etc.). Eric would find about this friendship since post-Jackie's Cheese Squeeze, he and Jackie would also have a secret friendship but that's for another post.
In season 4, things would mostly be the same, except he and Melissa actually go on that date. Things just wouldn't work out and nothing more. I also love his dynamic with The Formans (Laurie included), so I'd show more of that.
Season 5 would be where things change. Since he and Jackie would've already been friends, Hyde wouldn't be so...y'know about Jackie wanting to talk. He still would be against the idea of them actually dating because they don't have much in common (according to him) but would chill out a little. Also Hyde wouldn't cheat after seeing Jackie with Kelso and definitely wouldn't hold the "get off my boyfriend" incident against her. He'd just get drunk instead lol. Then they would've talked things out, had a proper 'ily', etc. So no J/H breakup, no Hyde acting entitled to Jackie's forgiveness, etc.
Season 6 would mostly be the same, aside from the parts where Hyde acts like he's just putting up with Jackie. I do also want to see more of him with the Formans (love a good family dynamic). I also kinda want to see the gang go to Kelso's sometimes.
Season 7 is where there'll be a bigger change. I'd do more with his bonds with W.B and Angie (Angie wouldn't date Kelso). He'd be helping with the record store. (Idk if I can see him being in college. He'd consider it and maybe give it a try for sure.) He'll also be there for Donna when she's pregnant with Leia (logically she'd exist in this season). Hyde wouldn't be an ooc douche about Jackie's party and actually show up. Jackie wouldn't have too many insecurities about them having a future together. He'd end up proposing at the end of s7.
Season 8 would have him and Jackie being engaged while doing long distance (Jackie would be in Chicago). Hyde would still be running the record store and having scenes with W.B. and Angie (they stay i this season). He'd also be the fun uncle for his nieces/nephews . By the finale, he and Jackie are married.

Eddie As An Uncle Headcanons
My hcs about if Eddie was an Uncle bcuz yes
Tumblr media
Totally wont be basing these off of what I think could work and mostly based off his uncle-niece dynamic with my oc Bean Idk what ur talking about. Before I get into this Yes I understand he is NOT canonically an uncle, Yes I understand some of my hcs could be a stretch you don't have to like them and its okay if you don't I don't expect everyone to have the same hcs or even like the Uncle Eddie idea But that doesnt mean I cant have fun with a silly idea that brings me comfort/happiness or that I cant use this to help me cope with my own issues. So if you dont like these you can keep it to yourself. Block me if you have to but dont try to invalidate MY hcs especially when they're NOT problematic and made just for fun. So without further adu lets get into the hcs now shall we since I've gotten that lil explanation out of the way. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. He’d be a pretty fun and goofy uncle. Though he wont be afraid to be strict with the kid when he has to. He may be fun/goofy/etc but he still is responsible and considers it his responsibility to be able to put his foot down
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. I feel like Eddie would have a fatherly side to him + soft spot for kids. So he would probably treat the niece and/or nephew as if they were his own kid He probably also lovingly refers to the kid as “my kid/kiddo” He doesn't care if that's “just his niece/nephew” If he says that's his kid then that's his kid End of story You can’t change his mind ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Due to his fatherly side and very likely close bond he’d have the kid he’d probably be the Godfather if not some other relative. I can definitely see Eddie willing to take that sort of responsibility I think his only concern tho would be that he doesn't live on his own He lives with his friends so that may be a bit harder to arrange and have the kid adjust to. Other than that he would be great at that role bcuz he was probably already like a 3rd parent type of uncle anyways
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. He’d show off embarrassing baby/toddler pictures bcuz he’d be the proud and wanting to show off his kid type but also he does find it kinda funny to embarrass his kiddo in that sorta way ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. If the kid really wanted to ESPECIALLY when they were little They could've find a way to get him to spoil them and it wouldn't have been hard for them to be a suck up and he would've spoiled that little kid ROTTEN. He’d stop spoiling them as much when they become a teen and stuff but he would occasionally spoil them still Just ya know not at the same extent Which is pretty fair its not like as a teen theyre gonna want as much stuff as they did when they were little anyways ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. He’d give embarrassing nicknames just to mess with the kid ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. He can have a tendency to be overprotective While his heart would be in the right place and would mean well Doesnt mean he cant get unnecessary with it like god forbid the kid starts dating someone or some shit He’d try to have it under control but if he senses the kid’s partner could cause trouble, break their heart or some bad shit towards his kid He is NOT having it like nuh-uh none of that shit he’s getting ready to bury a body That one Family Guy scene is literally going to be him
// blood + knife in the next upcoming image so get ready to scroll past it if you dont want to see it
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
And also involving his more protective side He’d also probably look something like this If really sent into some protective uncle version of a Papa Bear or Papa Wolf mode Whatever tf its called with protective dads/dad figures
Tumblr media
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. Gets the kid stuff their parent says theyre not allowed to have to annoy tf out of his sibling/friend (whoever is the parent of his niece/nephew) Like the kid cant have loud toys? Looks like its time to get them 20 of em ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9. Says the dumbest/weirdest shit to make his kid laugh In typical goofy weird uncle manner ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10. He’s the self proclaimed “Favorite Uncle” And he takes pride in the Favorite Uncle title Whats funny is that while it is just him claiming to be the favorite even without confirmation from the kid(s) he might actually be the favorite Or could definitely be up there in terms of favorite uncles for the kid ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11. He SO WOULD BE THE EMBARRASSINGLY SUPPORTIVE UNCLE Lemme give an example with my AB Oc Bean So I have it written in canon that when she is 17 and is currently playing in her highschool’s volleyball team and whenever she was little she played Little League Softball And I could so see Eddie embarrassing the absolute HELL out of her during her games/tournaments Hes just yelling at her from the stands “WHOOO HELL YEAH BEANIE YOURE DOING GREAT!!” “THATS MY GIRL!!” Or some shit like that and not only does he do that but nearby ppl in the stands have to deal with Eddie pointing Bean out and going “You see her? THATS MY NIECE!” In his embarrassingly proud way And poor Bean is beyond embarrassed hiding her face with her hand or any other way to hide and her teammates could look at her and go “So thats your uncle?” And Beans just like “Him? No I dont even know him” And Eddie still continues his embarrassing antics bcuz why wouldn’t he XDD Eddie isnt normally the embarrassing type of uncle but this is definitely a time where he does become that ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- And that is all I have for now! If I do come up with more later I can try to add them! If you guys also have ideas I would love to hear them especially for the other members of Alpha Team bcuz I dont have nearly as many or as in thought and I really want more for them! I really would love to hear them especially bcuz in my opinion this is a fun and interesting hc topic idea for em

I'm just trying to protect my siblings pero ako yung kontrabida
TLDR: I'm prohibiting my younger sibs from hanging out with my half-sibs and their families but this causing a drift between us.
Context: Medyo complicated fam structure namin. Basically, my parents both lost their spouses before remarrying to each other. Mom had no kids from first hubby but dad got tons. Aaaaand those grown ass kids didn't like my mom because she was almost in the same age range with them.
When they were all living together, the first family made my mom's life miserable. Yung sister ko first hand nya naranasan yung abuse like when our parents were out, tinali nila sa labas sister ko.
They were also the cause that my mom miscarried.
Dad cut them off and they bought a new house pero still supporting yung mga nasa college pa lang.
Pero he forgave them and reconnected kasi yung mga apo.
Laging ganun, gagawa sila kagaguhan, away cut off tapos reconnect. But they don't change, they just get better.
What's worst pati mga anak nila they are teaching them how to treat us and they spread these lies about my mom na wala namang basis. Super inggitera pa sila like if we have brand new clothes, toys, and things ninanakaw nila. If we go on trips as a family local or abroad, naghihinaing sila sa amin like they are making us feel guilty.
My sisters and I remembered it very much. My younger brother he was still a baby when we took him in (adopted). Yung half-sister ko who gave birth at the same time na inaadopt bb brother, she didn't like it kasi our dad was more enthusiastic with the newly adopted son kesa sa apo na kadugo nya.
My dad caught her in the act of pinching bb brother's nose until magpurple yung lips.
From then almost a decade na we didn't have contact. They were trying to reach out probably to ask for financial help, pero my dad wouldn't let them in.
We only got together once when both parents died, and we gave them a chance to renew the relationship and natutuwa naman bb brother to play with nephews and nieces his age. Kaso, it seems that they didn't change. They're materialistic and envious. Example, if my brother has a new console or gadget like psp or iPad, giniguilt trip nila yung bata so he will give the thing sa nephew. Or to ask me gifts through him. Pinahiram nya yung psp and it's gone na.
From then on, binawalan ko sya to ever bond with them. I told him why, especially that he almost got murdered.
Sumunod naman sya years later but lately he is requesting to bond sa kabila kasi they are reaching out.
They are also reaching out to my younger sister na graduating na by promising her to find her a job sa city hall. Inuupdate nila if may CSE na sya. Pero younger sister ko she wants to come with me abroad.
Then the other nights, I saw my brother's story na THEY WENT TO LA UNIOOOON with that sister who tried to kill him 17 years ago. I'm so angry and all this trauma coming back again because my oldest niece older than me and her sisters were playfully drowning me when I was 6.
Off course I sounded like a paranoid mom. I messaged my half-sister to fuck off and threatened her if ever something bad will happen sa brother ko.
Ito namang brother ko galit pa sakin nakakahiya daw kasi they are nice to him naman daw and they didn't say anything bad about me.
I told him na if may gusto sya ipabili dun sya sa half-sister namin.
Reply nya: OK.COOL
Arrrrrrggggghhhh
😡😡😡😡😡
I told this to my older (whole) sister and sabi nya lang "Hayaan mo so he'll learn the hard way. He'll see them through if nagbago sila or not."
I didn't like the idea pero baka nasasakal na din sya sa amin kasi lagi namin pinagsasabihan and we are kinda overprotective to him. I thought we are doing a good job taking care of him but at the end, things happen.
Ang akin lang naman, I don't want him to experience what we had experienced with them. Kasi sobrang fucked up mga ginawa nila na iba borderline criminal na and if I ever list it, 2025 pa tayo matatapos.
Even if kinwento namin sa kanya parang walang pake because they are our memories not him eh.

𝓛ist of things I noticed/paid attention to on my 𝓔ncanto rewatch :
Mirabel does have sweaty hands : she rubbed them on her dress before trying to open her door for the first time !
The doorknob her family made for her has an "M" on it... It stands for "Madrigal", of course, but Mirabel is also the only one in her family who has a name starting with an M.
Bruno, you dramatic bitch, why did you have to act so scary when Mirabel saw you for the first time in ten years 😂 (he may be a great actor, but he cannot act like he doesn't care about his niece : he is scared, but when he thought her life was in danger, he did not leave her hanging)
Also : 50 years old Bruno does parkour like it's nothing. You go, Rat Man 🙌
People were so right about the butterflies theme, they are everywhere ! Patterns in the background, on the magic candle, on Mirabel's dress, in the Dos Oruguitas song... Knowing this family's destiny, the metaphor works perfectly : their metamorphosis is spectacular 🦋✨
First time we hear about Pedro's death, Mirabel is 5 years old, and the retelling is adapted to her understanding : he just poetically vanishes while Alma reaches out to him, looking upset. But the scene where we tackle the trauma... Not only does it humanize Alma and Pedro's love by showing tender moments between them, but then it brutally rips your heart apart along with hers ! I mean we don't see the men on horses strike or any trace of blood, but it doesn't take a genius to know a damn machete can do damage and it will be gruesome... Alma's pain is all we need to see : this time, she doesn't look gracefully sad, her distress is shattering.
Interesting thing to notice : the triplets are shown sleeping through it all, they seem to be very peaceful babies... Maybe they were, at least that's how their mother remembers them. I think it highlights that they were the only stable and soothing thing to their mother through the worst time of her life, when she lost her home and husband. Maybe it's one of the reason why she did not acknowledge their anxiety and rightful emotions ? She was holding onto them for support, but they all had to be an idealized version of themselves so it could work... That's also the reason why she kept to herself for so long : they were babies, they were sleeping, they did not witness the horror she had to endure, she did not want to share that burden, she did not want them to open their eyes yet... That's the thing with generational trauma : what you keep secret does more damage, not talking about it doesn't mean everyone is in blissful ignorance. You don't need to talk to pass down trauma, it can be felt. However, talking helps healing. That's why Bruno is right about Mirabel : she is exactly what her family needs. She opened her eyes. She started the uncomfortable conversations. She was ready to listen and share the load with everyone. She knew how to find the right, comforting words. Her light shines bright through their darkest times...
On a lighter note : unphased capybara is a whole ass mood

So do you guys remember my post about Jedi meeting their birth families and being chill with it? 
I’ve been thinking a bit - a lot, for like a year - about all the headcanons around Jedi’s biological people, and there are really only two possible cases that seem to get explored: the pure of heart, flawed but loving, desperate parents who ‘had’ to give up their precious child to the Jedi and didn’t feel they had a choice (most commonly seen from the more Jedi critical parts of the fandom, but not always), and the horribly abusive no good parents at all who gladly dumped their baby onto the Order (which appears to be the way of some Jedi fans to ‘justify’ the adoption into the Order as legitimate, which really shouldn’t be the point because adoptions are just as legitimate without abuse factoring in).
What’s kinda sad is how little we’re willing to explore all the possibilities, maybe because we don’t want to be perceived as on the wrong side of the fandom by our own pals. We all deal with just so much bad faith discourse that we smooth out any sort of human drama and nuance to try and have clear cut narratives that are so black and white that they must prevent bad faith interpretations. Jedi have to be perfect pure angels that have never done anything wrong to be recognized as good, because we’re afraid that if we write them in an interesting way people will jump on the opportunity to accuse them of all sorts of stuff.
Well, I’m tired of vanilla fics and good guys vs bad guys when dealing with purely human everyday stuff. Bad guys are for the galactic battles, the epic clash of eternal forces. When dealing with how Jedi younglings come to the Order, we can have plenty of amazing, heart-wrenching drama and warm, happy moments where all sorts of good and regular people have different goals and meet and clash without anyone being at ‘fault’ or being to blame for it. I want to see (*sigh* to write) complex, difficult situations that can’t be perfectly resolved but where people do try and everyone feels like a *person*.
With that out of the way, what about:
- the unanimously proud communities, so honored that their daughter will represent their people and traditions among the Order, wear their clothing and bear their name
- the desperate mother with proud relatives, who doesn’t want to give away her child, but feels pressured into it by well-meaning relatives. The Master feels her reluctance and tries to reassure her, but she insists that it’s fine - and it is, she wants it to be, she wants to believe it’s for the best but it’s just so hard...
- Stass Allie’s parents, who saw their niece Adi GAllia go to the Order a few years prior. Their two families are influential on Coruscant, but with Adi already in the Order, do they need to send Stass too? Will people think they’re making a grab for power? Will Stass be better off over there, with her cousin? 
- Tiplar and Tiplee’s parents. How many children do they have, besides their twins? Is it easier to let your children go when you know they will be together? Did they make the Master promise they wouldn’t be separated no matter what? Did they dress them in matching outfits, or were the Jedi the ones to come up with that?
- the teenaged single mom who cries tears of relief when she realizes her baby will have a good life
- the single dad who can’t bring himself to let his daughter go, because she’s his whole world. The Master presses, not fully understanding, because she would would give up everything for the good of her Padawan, including her relationship with him if need be. The dad still says no.
- the struggling addict parent who is glad to dump that kid (but who still wakes up at night crying, cursing the Jedi, cursing themselves - who get their life back on track for their next kid, maybe? Who meets more Jedi and is thankful after all, or who never does and stays bitter, but better...)
- the family using the adoption for clout, and the consequences for the Order PR-wise, with the younger Jedi having to let go of the bitterness and the anger
- the communities with their own customs surrounding the Force that the young Knight or the wise Master’s inexperienced Padawan struggle to grasp and accept
- the happy parents who are mildly Force-sensitive themselves but didn’t know (or did know, and expected some of their children to be sensitive too), with the Master or the Knight pondering what their own life would look like as a civilian, maybe a parent themselves, maybe giving their own child to the Order like those are doing now. Would they do it? If they could met that hypothetical version of themselves, what would they say about the life they have? 
- the superstitious, incredulous or religious parents who are just glad to get a real explanation for the floating rocks, instead of all the theories and the judging and the gossip
- the ones who are desperately poor, and so very grateful, and the younger Jedi struggling with this, wondering if that’s why they were given to the Order as well. Struggling not to judge, because they wouldn’t be happy to give up their own younglings no matter what, right? Learning to be grateful, and understanding, and compassionate. 
- the parents who decide to give their child away against the community’s pressure, finding comfort in the Jedi’s genuine desire to support them
- the siblings struggling not to feel betrayed by their parents’ choice - and the jealous ones, the proud ones, the amazed ones, the ones who were just toddlers and spend their life holding onto faded memories
And on the flipside to all of that, what about:
- the Jedi who find a baby among dead bodies, like Mace and Depa, and are so thankful they could save this one tiny light
- the Knights filled to burst with warmth and pride as the three of them get this little toddler to giggle on the way home
- the baby who has been screaming in the Force for weeks, wanting to go home, and who finally gets to feel a presence caressing his mind gently, telling him someone is coming
- the Masters who hold the little ones at night, when those who miss their old home feel lonely or sad, rocking them and singing to them
- the Jedi who have their niece, nephew, cousin, or sibling arrive in the Creche, who call their birth family to reassure them that it’ll all be okay, and yes, ‘the child will know who I am, don’t worry, we keep our names. I’ll help them along the way, I’ll keep an eye on them.’
- the Knight who shows up somewhere and experience a supersonic boom because that’s the one, this little one will be his Padawan, he knows it
- the Knight awkwardly trying to comfort the parents, but she can see that they can see that the baby has already latched onto her, and she senses their turmoil
- the Master feeling that the child won’t be suited for the life of a Jedi, and saying that, even as it’s so hard to turn away from those sparkling baby eyes and that little mental tug 
- the Padawan balancing babbling triplets on his shoulders, because they’re from a species that makes a lot of babies
- the Master-Padawan pair visiting a child a lot during the transition period, and bonding with the other siblings as well
... Just... a mess of relationships and love on all parts, with understandings being reached, people finding peace and joy, and the opposite of all that, all acknowledging that there are no bad guys here, just complicated circumstances.

this is for anon's ask about valjean living to be a grandfather! im so sorry im stupid and deleted it omg
-anyway, there are two moments that valjean gets a flashback to when he first sees cosette and her baby. the first would be his nieces and nephews. it's been so long that valjean cant fully remember them or their faces or names, but he remembers feeling love for them so extreme that he was willing to risk all of it to feed them and his sister. the second is cosette herself, when they had first met. he remembers how small and fragile she was, and he remembers fantine
-and valjean has this moment where he almost wants to take a step back. he remembers fantine and he remembers that cosette is her's, and therefore so is this child. this is fantine's legacy, although she may get no credit for it, and valjean feels guilt for thinking of himself as this patriarch of a family that is not his.
-but then he remembers the promise he made to her. valjean remembers taking her hands and telling her that he would watch over cosette and make sure nothing bad would ever happen to her again. this is fantine's child and grandchild, but she cant be here for them. valjean's promise to her was to take that role when fantine died and perhaps he isn't biologically related to either, but he has to be there because fantine cant. valjean doesn't need to feel guilt for loving cosette and this baby, because it's what fantine wanted them to have
-anyway i think valjean is a very cautious yet sweet grandfather. he'll quietly snap at someone if they don't support the baby's head when they hold them or he'll be anxious and check on them when they're sleeping just in case something bad has happened. he's just... he feels this obligation to make sure the lil baby is safe. he also does what he can to help cosette and is a little snappy for marius to do the same
-he's also a little (big) old man and learns old men hobbies for the kid. he carves little toys and figures out of wood and paints them so they have little horses or sheep or soldiers to play with when they're a bit older. he also learns to sew and knit and all that so he makes blankets and hats to keep the baby warm in the winter. he's very busy at this point in his life to provide
-this is also marius's first time being a father. valjean is... well, he's snappy once again because he gets annoyed when marius doesn't know what to do or is seemingly unhelpful. but cosette has to gently remind him one day that marius never got to really have a father figure in his life. valjean tries again to teach him how to raise children and not fear that he'll be bad at it. it helps bond the two of them, which cosette is really happy to see
-when the kid is a little older, valjean is very good with reading to them. he'll have a bible or a storybook and keeps them on his lap as he reads to them until they fall asleep
-i also think at this point, cosette would move valjean in with her and marius because she doesn't want him to be alone just because she doesn't live with him anymore. having valjean very close by also just means he and the baby have a close relationship
-cosette also sees valjean with her child and gets flashbacks. she thinks about herself growing up and how kind he was with her and how generous he was and it makes her very emotional. seeing him do the same thing for her lil baby gives her hope for their future growing up
-they also do a lot of outside things together during and post-toddler stage. valjean will allow them to play in the dirt as he gardens and will let them help plant things that are easy, as well as watering plants. being outside in the sunshine, at this point in his life, is a comfort rather than a memory of when it was a curse. having the kid there helps him stop associating things with imprisonment
-and because he taught cosette to read and write, he gets a headstart with the little one trying to do it again. it's a little hard when they're a toddler who can barely grip a pen, but eventually it works out. valjean will not have fantine's bloodline be a bunch of fools! they shall all be literate
-he gets to be there for a good chunk of the kid's childhood. they're always close. valjean is a tiny bit disappointed when they look more like marius than cosette (rip fantine, WE WERE ROOTING FOR YOU!!!! WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOUR GENES!!!), but that doesn't matter much to him. he's a voice of reason for them but also a source of fun and love. they never understood why he was scarred so much, but when they're still small they'll trace the bumps on his wrist as valjean reads to them, the same way that cosette did. maybe one day they'll find out, but valjean, cosette, and marius are so tired of pain and grief haunting their family that for at least in this one moment, they want their newest member to only know joy and happiness
-eventually valjean is gone, but he was there in a way that really mattered. he supported cosette when she was just so exhausted and helped marius be a father with nothing for the poor boy to base off of and he was a source of love for the kid. a really big one. he was a source of love for all three of them and he's the kind of person that you really notice is gone. he's everywhere in their lives but nowhere to be found
-even afterwards i think his grandchild would come to visit his grave and talk about how great he was. les mis is all about love, really, and i dont think it stops after the story ends. fantine's love is valjean's love and both of them sort of live past death through them. the way that cosette and marius's kid knows how to love extends from them. and bc of that, i don't think either of them can really ever be gone

My lengthy, angry ACOSF rant review.
Spoilers, TW for mental, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse.
.
.
.
I loved ACOTAR. I still love ACOTAR. I always will love ACOTAR. But every book afterwards made me give up more and more. ACOMAF romanticized an abusive relationship and assassinated characters for the author's convenience. ACOWAR was a bunch of boring and inconsequential death scares. ACOFAS was all-round dreadful. And each book kept shitting on and pushing away Lucien for no reason.
I'd like to preface this by saying I hated Nesta too. I hated the way she treated Feyre in ACOTAR especially, and I wasn't even too excited for this book because I wasn't that keen on Nesta as a character.
Nesta's POV and her backstory changed my perspective. It does not excuse her actions. All Nesta stans can hold these characters accountable for what they do - trauma is a reason, not an excuse. I, and many others, sided with Nesta because of the way she's treated by everyone else in this book. Also, if you're going to hate Nesta for not teaching Feyre how to read and letting her hunt at fourteen, (which I did, and are very valid things to hate), AT LEAST hold Elain accountable too.
This book. This fucking book.
Shall we start with the intervention? Feyre on her little power trip thinks that her boyfriend that hates Nesta and Nesta hates back, Nesta's ex-best friend, and her possible mate who she never talks to should be at this stupid fucking intervention??? Excuse me???
Remember in ACOMAF when Feyre wouldn't shut up about how rich Rhysand is? Feyre literally has four or five houses and is always talking about how much jewelry and lingerie she can afford because Rhysand is so rich??? Well, Nesta has a few shots. So you know what Feyre does? Humiliates Nesta at this "intervention", TEARS DOWN HER HOME, and forces her to go to the Illyrian training camp.
That was the god awful premise for this book.
Did you think Elain wasn't there because she was against the "intervention"? Nope! She was packing Nesta's belongings without permission.
Remember in ACOMAF when it's made a big fucking deal that locking up a traumatised woman is extremely damaging? Well, when Nesta decides she doesn't want to be in Illyria, Feyre locks her in the House of Wind. Nesta can't fly, so her only way of leaving is down the TEN THOUSAND STEPS, that Feyre KNOWS Nesta isn't capable of climbing.
Feyre's pregnant. In ACOFAS she randomly decided that she wanted a baby to remember Rhysand by if he dies. Which doesn't make any sense because they made that stupid fucking death pact in ACOWAR. It's just SJM superimposing her pregnancy onto her early 20's protagonist. Ignoring the fact that Feyre isn't ready for a baby and Rhysand CERTAINLY isn't, and with a war just ended and another looming and so much trauma and a DEATH PACT are all such horrible circumstances to bring a child into, Feyre is already pregnant. Remember when SJM made a big deal about Fae babies being so hard to conceive, and Feyre said in ACOFAS they wouldn't have to worry for a long time because it can take years to conceive your first Fae child? Well it's been no more than 3 or 4 months and Feyre's already pregnant. Yep.
Also the birth will kill her. Because of course it will. Rhysand KNEW this, and still agreed to try for a baby.
There's no solution. Abortions don't exist for some stupid reason, and a C section would apparently kill Feyre?
(Wasn't this book supposed to be about Nessian?)
In ACOWAR, Cassian was on the battlefield with his entrails around his knees. Someone had to literally hold his guts in for him, and he's fine, but you're telling me a C section would kill Feyre?
Don't worry, this is just setting up the AWFUL ending to this book.
ACOSF amounts to Nesta being gaslit into believing her abusers are right. Her friends and family slut shame her and shame her for her lifestyle constantly. Cassian says it took him decades to work through some of his trauma, and he tried to drink and fuck it away too, but suddenly when Nesta does so it's heinous? Nesta's barely twenty five and she's expected to cope better than these ancient immortals.
Hell, didn't SJM write ACOMAF? Nobody expected Feyre to pick herself up so quickly. The IC (excluding Rhysand) respected her boundaries for the most part and understood when it was grief, trauma, and turmoil that made her angry, sad, want to be left alone, etc. But that's all forgotten here.
Amren also compares Nesta to the people in, and says she belongs in, The Court of Nightmares. You know, the murderers, abusers and rapists? This innocent woman who had a few shots and a bit of sex is on par with them, apparently!
The sex scenes.
SJM is scared to say vagina so she says sex.
She says seed to mean semen.
Apparently the word cunt turns SJM on. I just found Cassian saying that kinda cringe because I'm Bri'ish so the word cunt really isn't a big deal.
Back to the baby killing Feyre, because this is definitely what we all wanted from this book as indicated by the change in covers and format and title... Rhysand decides not to tell Feyre. He tells her friends and family, and tells them not to tell her.
SJM loves sweeping Rhysand's abuse from the first book under the rug and claiming it's always about Feyre's choice... where is that here, MAAS? WHERE IS IT?
Anyway, when Nesta rightfully decides to tell Feyre (although it is kind of out of spite), Rhysand threatens to kill Nesta.
And I believed him. With the way he treats his """mAtE tHaT hE lOvEs sO mUcH""" and all the people he's mindlessly killed before, do you really think he wouldn't kill the person who gave Feyre an inch of autonomy?
So what does Cassian do? His lover who he cares deeply about and suspects is his mate has received a death threat from tHe mOsT pOwErFuL hIgH lORd iN hIsToRy.
Cassian simply gets Nesta out of the court.
EXCUSE ME?
He doesn't breathe ONE word to Rhysand about this. This Illyrian WARRIOR who fought with his GUTS HANGING OUT didn't dare step up to the hIGh lOrD who he considers his brother and sparrs and fights with all the time?
Cassian literally does nothing.
Was it not Rhysand himself who said Mated males are dangerous? Can kill anyone who looks at their mate? Can be dangerous simply leaving the house? Rhys and Feyre both pull the Mate card to justify their bad actions on the other's behalf... and Cassian just tried to get Nesta out of the court?
Also, this High King bullshit.
I swear to fucking god, if SJM DARES to make this abusive, power-tripping, mOsT pOwErFuL hIgH lOrD eVEr, husband-insert of hers hIgH kInG, I will fight her in the street.
My beloved Lucien is in this book. Only for him to be used and shat on.
I really liked it when he calmed Cassian down with just a look though. Yes please fox man.
Helion is also in this book. Nothing to do with Lucien.
Eris is also in this book. ERIS. Lucien's eldest brother. The same one who abused him for years, but according to SJM he's slightly better, because at least he didn't agree to kill Lucien's lover. He betrayed his daddy that one time, therefore Eris is good. Y'know, the same Eris who abused Mor? Left her laying on the Autumn Court border with a nail in her womb? Well SJM is going back on her own canon to redeem yet ANOTHER abusive male, while continuing to demonize Tamlin for things he only happened to do when SJM decided the villain from the first book was sexy.
Nesta and Cassian are Mates.
Remember when Mates were supposed to be a rare and sacred thing? Now SJM dishes them out like Oprah.
I don't want these characters to be mates. I want to see them slowly fall in love. But SJM is incapable of writing that so she forces them together with the mAtInG bOnD. That's literally the only basis for most of these relationships, Feysand especially.
The only relationship where the bond would make sense is between Helion and The Lady of Autumn. Who still isn't named. But I will die on the hill that they're mates, I can feel it between them.
I wanted someone to die in this book. I predicted that it would either be Helion or Tarquin, but Tarquin isn't even in this one.
And the ending.
SJM can't write a decent climax, so she kills both Feyre and Rhysand for the second time. Yep.
The baby is being born which stupidly kills Feyre, and thankfully takes Rhysand with them.
Nesta decides to save them. Bad choice. But she decides to save them! Because she's so powerful and she ATE THE CONTENTS OF THE CAULDRON and she's CONNECTED TO THE MOTHER.
Do you know what happens.
Nesta loses her powers.
NESTA.
LOSES.
HER.
POWERS.
The powers we've hardly seen, the powers that were briefly mentioned and used ONCE in ACOWAR, then we saw like two flashes of in this book? They're GONE now. GONE SO NESTA CAN SAVE HER ABUSIVE SISTER AND ABUSIVE HUSBAND WHO ABUSES THEM BOTH.
Nesta is just an Amren now. They both fought for their powers, and had to give them up to save people who didn't deserve it. Now they're anticlimactically trapped in powerless bodies.
Also, and I can't BELIEVE I didn't originally include this - do you know what else Nesta TRADED HER POWERS FOR?
Illyrian anatomy so she can carry Cassian's baby one day.
EXCUSE ME?
I am so fucking SICK TO DEATH of the narrative that every woman needs a man and children to be happy. SJM clearly loves this because she's literally only keeping Amren and Nesta alive now to be sex objects to their partners and nothing else seeing as their POWERS WERE RIPPED AWAY FROM THEM, and now NESTA TRADED THOSE POWERS TO HAVE A BABY SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW SHE WANTS? Nesta does NOT strike me as a motherly type. She's the wine aunt, she and Cassian are the couple that go on holiday a lot and and babysit their nieces and nephews, but nope. Nesta HAS to have children.
The Feysand baby is called Nyx. That's just so underwhelming, you go from these huge, multiple syllable names like Amarantha and Morrigan and Lucien to Nyx? I get it's supposed to be unique but it's not even meaningful. It's just more shit-flavoured icing on the hAHa nIgHt uWu cake. I prefer Renesmée.
Nesta is wrong somehow. She says she's sorry as she's saving them. FOR WHAT? For being a little rude to Feyre as all sisters are? And rightfully hating your sister's abuser?
Oh yeah, remember in ACOWAR when Nesta took care of a comatose, starving Elain for months? Elain is randomly okay now because she takes care of her mental health the stereotypical way of baking cakes, and not drinking and fucking, which she shames Netsa for.
Remember the slut shaming, demeaning comments that the whole iNnEr cIrClE made about Nesta? They all expect apologies from her. For some reason.
Nesta has done nothing wrong. She coped with her trauma and minded her business in her own ways, and she's expected to apologise to the people who control and emotionally abuse her.
Nothing that any of these characters did to Nesta is right. Nesta wasn't okay at the end, this wasn't Nesta's healing story. This is Nesta being shamed and degraded until she submits.
Oh I can't believe I forgot to write this in my first draft of this review, do you know how Nesta "overcomes" her grief about her Father's death and her conflicting feelings about him and his life and her guilt? When she visits his grave for the first time, she takes Nyx.
NYX.
She holds NYX up to the grave and talks about how it's his grandson.
GO AWAY YOU STUPID DEMON BABY THIS IS NOT YOUR BOOK.
Speaking of, it's revealed that Nesta was abused by her mother and grandmother in this book? Something we were all looking forward to is seeing more of the Archeron's mother seeing as Feyre was so young when she died, but... nope. She gets a few vague mentions, and this newly revealed abuse is entirely glossed over. Nesta was also actively groomed by an older man at 14. But SJM glosses over this because of course she does.
Finally, the bonus chapters.
My edition came with a bonus chapter from Feyre's POV. It was pointless and I hated it.
There's another bonus chapter from Azriel's POV. Once I'd finished this book, he was one of the few characters I still harboured a shred of respect for.
Then I read his bonus chapter.
This exists to purely objectify Elain.
Whether you ship Elain with Azriel, or Lucien, or neither, this chapter is disgusting. He thinks about her coming on his tounge, and other things simply just to please him.
He then dares to suggest that "the Cauldron picked wrong" in choosing Lucien as Elain's mate?
No Azriel, SJM picked RIGHT in not giving each Archeron sister a bAt bOy.
Rhysand does the only right thing he's ever done by telling Azriel to stay away from Elain, but then he has to ruin it by clarifying that it's only so they can manipulate and use Lucien more.
Oh, and Azriel wants to kill Lucien.
Need I remind you that Lucien respects Azriel? Lucien is another victim of the Night Court's needless, baseless torment, and Azriel is no exception.
Lucien stays well out of Elain's way because she makes it clear that she's not interested in a mate, but Azriel wants to kill him simply for being her mate.
Lucien has done nothing. And I mean literally NOTHING to warrant any of this treatment. From the bAt bOyS, from Feyre, from his family, from SJM, from the deluded part of this fandom that think he's done wrong. NOTHING.
All I liked about this book was the Lucien scenes (which is a given), ((although I hated the way everyone talks about him behind his back)), Nesta's relationship with the house, Emerie and Gwyn, the evidence that Gwynriel is endgame and subsequently Elucien, and the book love. Everything else was horrible. Oh, and Nesta hates Rhysand. I love that for her, because everyone else bows at his feet.
Oh yeah, when Nesta DARES suggest that Rhysand is an "arrogant, preening asshole" which I think is a compliment, Cassian can't take Rhys' cock out of his mouth for one second, and has to get mad at her for having an opinion. Don't even get me started on Azriel in that scene.
If each book after ACOTAR made me slowly give up, this book made me give up altogether. I cannot go on to support this victim-blaming, abuse-forgiving, misogynistic series. I've given up on SJM, and the only characters I care about anyone are Lucien, Nesta, Helion, and Tarquin. I'll continue to read this series to see if SJM redeems herself, but I'll be downloading them for free. I'm not giving this piece of shit any more of my money.
I hope we don't get the Lucien book. I don't want her to slaughter my fox in the way she slaughtered LITERALLY EVERYONE ELSE.
Thanks for listening.
Edit: I put the review on Goodreads!

Suga We’re Going Down
part 16
masterlist
hello my darlings! It’s been a while since this one updated, and I would also like to take this opportunity to announce that I am going to be an Auntie! My sister is officially 18 weeks along with her first and we find out next week what she’s having! So enjoy some Eun Jae content in celebration of my baby niece/nephew.--- chaotic puff
Tumblr media
Yoongi had been unusually kind following the news about Eun Jae. She’d expected him to cancel their contract after finding out about her son, but he’d taken it in stride. He even liked her son. The  apartment. The increase in pay. The extra bodyguards. It was all too much, but she was grateful for it. But with his added benevolence, she’d noticed a tinge of possessiveness that she was doing her best to ignore. He’d been so good to them. She could put up with him being a little more domineering and the sex that went with it. 
He always wanted to be touching her these days. It could be as innocent as a hand on her back as he led her somewhere or an arm around her shoulders, or it could be less innocent. Those were the touches he seemed to favor, but never when Eun Jae was around. He was a perfect gentleman when her son was near, and the toddler adored him despite the short amount of time they had known each other.
There weren’t a lot of men in Eun Jae’s life. While her father still stayed to leech off of her grandmother, he wasn’t really a parental figure to Eun Jae. And however unconsciously, the weariness with which she and Halmeoni treated him had rubbed off on Eun Jae. The little boy just did not like his grandfather, if he could even be called that. On more than one occasion, Eun Jae had rather innocently referred to him as the hobo in Halmeoni’s house- a sad and hilarious thought all at once. 
While it was nice to see her son bonding with a male figure, it worried her. Yoongi was not a permanent fixture in their lives. Eventually, their contract would end, and she and Yoongi would part ways. How was she going to explain to her toddler why he was no longer around when the time came? Yoongi didn’t seem to share the same worry though. He showered the little boy in a quiet sort of affection that Eun Jae soaked up like a flower. And he flourished under it. He was constantly asking her when he would get to see ‘Yoongi hyung’ again, if they could take Yoongi hyung to the park, and giving her pictures he had colored so she could pass them along, and Yoongi happily accepted them, seemingly just as enamored with the her son as her son was with him.
But when Eun Jae wasn’t around, Yoongi was a whole different person. He was still kind. He had always been kind to her, but that possessive streak came out in full force. He wanted her full attention, or at least whatever attention she could give him. If she was doing schoolwork, he wanted her to be next to him. If they were out, he wanted her at his side at all times. And he had become positively insatiable when it came to sex, and it was wearing her out. Between school, Eun Jae, and Yoongi, she had no time to so much as breathe. 
“Yoongi?” she asked, confused as to why she was blindfolded as they entered his apartment. She’d been there plenty of times before. There was no reason for her to be blindfolded, but Yoongi claimed that he had a surprise for her. 
“Just a few more seconds, baby.” he cooed, gently leading her through the apartment, positively giddy about what he was about to show her. 
But being blindfolded made her nervous,  and she didn’t share in that excitement. “Yoongi, please.” 
“It’s alright. Nearly there.” he promised, bringing her to a stand still and moving behind her. “Are you ready?” 
“Yes?” she didn’t like surprises. There had been too many bad ones in her life. 
He chuckled at her apprehension and removed the blindfold. “What do you think?” he asked, wrapping his arms around her and resting his chin on her shoulder. 
Y/N blinked to adjust to the light and gasped. Before them in his living room was a gorgeous cello, standing tall and proud.
“What is…?” a trembling hand came up to touch her lips as her eyes remained glued to the instrument. “Is this… is this for me?” her voice was soft, barely daring to hope, and Yoongi nodded, gently pushing her forward.
She’d never had a cello of her own before, and this one was positively beautiful. It had that distinctive red hue to it well as that timeless grace and weathering that she had only seen in pictures, in the cellos that famous musicians were lucky enough to be loaned and sometimes even own. It was something so distinctive it had become famous among cello enthusiasts, because it was the first to do it, the best of its kind.
She pulled away from him, approaching the instrument in awe. “This isn’t… it can’t be….” she whirled around looking at Yoongi with eyes the size of saucers. “Is this… is this a Stradivarius?” the words were hushed, awed as though she almost didn’t dare speak them. 
“The Braga.” he confirmed with a smug smirk on his face. He could only have the best for his girl after all. He’d wanted the Davidov, but it was already on loan and not for sale.And she probably would have balked at the price of the Davidov Stradivarius. She was already hesitant about this one.
“There are only... “ she paused, her mind whirling. “There’s only sixty-three surviving Stradivarius cellos.” 
“I know.” he confirmed, content to sit back and watch her implode with the knowledge. She was just too cute when she was freaking out. 
“This should be in a museum!” she squeaked, backing away from the instrument.
“There are plenty of Stradivarius’ in private collections or used by professional musicians.” 
“I’m not  a professional!” she pointed out with another squeak, backing herself into his arms again. “It’s too much.” 
“Nothing is too much for you.” he murmured, pressing a kiss to the side of her neck. “A cellist needs a cello.” 
“I’ve never had a cello…” 
He grinned, resting his chin on her shoulder again. “I know. Do you like it?” 
“You should donate it to a museum.” 
“But do you like it?” he knew she did, but he still wanted to hear her say it.
She turned her head to look at him. “It’s too much for me. I’m not good enough to play a Stradivarius.” 
He shrugged completely nonpulsed by the small fortune he’d just spent on an antique cello. If it was for her, it was worth it. “I also got you a D Z Strad in case you didn’t want to play this one.” 
Her gaze which had drifted back to the cello slowly fell back to him in disbelief. “You got  me two cellos?” 
“I got you two cellos.” And he was incredibly proud of himself for that. After all, who else could provide for her, spoil her, like he could?
“Yoongi, this is…” she paused, sighing as she brought herself down to reality. “I can’t accept this.”
“Don’t.” he pulled her closer, turning her to face him, tilting her chin so she was forced to meet his stern gaze. “I bought you a gift, angel. The polite thing to do is accept and say thank you. Isn’t that what you tell Eun Jae?” 
“I know but..”
“No buts.”
She searched his face, trying to find any reason behind this. There was no contractual obligation for this. There was no logical reason either. Who bought their sugar baby a cello worth a small fortune? 
“You didn’t have to do this.”
A slow sweet smile stretched across his gestures. “I wanted to do this.” 
In that moment, Y/N fancied herself to be a little bit in love with him, and then her phone rang tearing them both out of the moment.
She scrambled back, bending down to pick up the clutch she’d dropped when faced with the Strativsrius. “Halmeoni?” 
Yoongi watched with concern as she answered the phone, that concern only growing as he watched all the color drain from her face. 
“What?” There was a hard edge to her tone that Yoongi wasn’t used to hearing and didn’t particularly like, and while she listened to her grandmother on the other end of the line, he was calling for a car. Something was clearly wrong, and he wasn’t about to let her deal with it alone. “How did he? Is Eun Jae okay?” 
Yoongi’s head shot up from his own phone at that, something primal and protective filling him. This was about their son. Something was wrong with their son, and he didn’t know what it was. 
“I’ll be there as soon as I can. Don’t let him anywhere near Eun Jae.” She paused, listening to her grandmother. “I’m sorry, Halmeoni. This shouldn’t have happened. I know. I’ll see you soon.” 
“What happened?” Yoongi demanded as soon as she hung up the phone. 
“Taehyung is at my grandmother’s.” She ran a hand through her hair, worry and frustration etched into her face. “I have to go deal with…”
Yoongi wrapped an arm around her, ushering her back towards the door. “I’ve already called a car, and Jackson will be joining us as extra security.” 
“That’s not…”
He cut her off, absolutely livid that this man had had the audacity to approach their son while he was away from his mother, to invade an old woman’s home. “We’re taking security, for your safety and your family’s.” 
“Okay.” she nodded, lost in her own worries as Yoongi slipped her coat over her shoulders and grabbed his before taking them both to the elevator. He wanted them at her grandmother’s as swiftly as possible. There was a pest to deal with. 
---
When they arrived, Y/N was nearly frantic, but her grandmother, a formidable woman it seemed, was holding her own fairly well, looming over the pest with a watchful eye. The real problem came in the form of the mild looking rather unimpressive man who was seated across from the very pest they had come to deal with, grinning like a fool. The fool had even offered him tea, but her grandmother hadn’t allowed him passage into their home upstairs, only into the restaurant, but it was still too close for Yoongi, for the grandmother too if the look on her face was anything to go by. But none of their displeasure of the tension seemed to affect the fool across from Taehyung. This, Yoongi had to surmise with no small amount of distaste, was Y/N’s father. 
The man looked up as they came in, grinning as though he didn’t know the trouble he was enabling. “Y/N my girl!” he called waving her over while completely ignoring how distressed she looked as well as Yoongi’s presence. “Look who it is. He’s come to see the boy.” Y/N’s spine stiffened, her jaw tensed as she stared down her father, but he paid it no  mind. “A very fine boy.” he assured Taehyung who was smiling along good naturedly, looking far too pleased with himself. “Would you like more tea?” 
“You’re not supposed to be here.” she hissed, glaring at her father and Taehyung. 
“I want to see him, Y/N.” His smile dimmed a little as he became more serious. “I have a right to see him.” 
“No rights.” she scoffed, nearly vibrating with pent up anger. “You have no rights when it comes to my son. We’ve been over this.” 
“Let him see the boy, my girl.” her father sighed. “A boy needs his father.” 
“He has me!” she snapped, turning her ire on her sire. 
“And you’re not exactly his mother either.” 
The entire room fell silent, everyone staring at the man as though he’d lost his mind. Perhaps he had. All signs from Yoongi’s research, which had been redone more thoroughly after learning of Eun Jae, pointed to her father being a layabout and a dreamer. He was a good for nothing who did nothing to contribute to his family or help to raise his grandson, and on top of all this ineptitude, which already made Yoongi’s blood boil, he was insulting and belittling the role that Y/N had taken on in Eun Jae’s life and all the sacrifices she’d made to do so.
“What do you know?” his mother huffed, slapping him roughly upside the head and breaking the tension. “Good for nothing son.” 
“Eomoni!” Yoongi was shocked to see a grown man whine like a child. “He’s the boy’s father. He has a right.” 
“Not in my house.” the grey haired old woman barked, crossing her arms and glaring at her son. “Y/N-ie.” she cooed, reaching out for her granddaughter, who immediately went to her side leaving a stunned Yoongi behind. “You should go see Jae-ah.” 
“Has his fever gotten worse?” 
“No, but you don’t need to see me throw this useless son out of my house.” 
“I’d be more than happy to do it for you, ahjumma.” Yoongi bowed respectfully, keeping a sharp watch on the two men still seated before him. 
Her eyes flicked to him, sizing him up and taking note of Jackson and Young Jae who lingered at the door waiting to jump in if needed. “And who are you, young man?” she huffed, not at all fazed by his presence, but ready to fight on her granddaughter’s behalf if needed. He liked her immediately. 
“Min Yoongi.” he greeted with another bow. “I’m dating your granddaughter.” 
All eyes flicked to Y/N who was staring at him in shock before turning her doe eyed stare on her grandmother as though to say she knew nothing about it. Her grandmother returned it with a look of her own that said they would talk about it later. 
“Dating?” Taehyung asked, eyes flitting between the two of them. “Are you sure he should be around our son?” 
“Our son?” Y/N asked, still stunned by Yoongi’s brazen announcement that they were dating. It was better than admitting their actual relationship she supposed, but she didn’t look forward to explaining things to her grandmother later. She didn’t enjoy lying to her. “He’s not your son.” 
Taehyung pouted, wounded by her words. “Halmeoni,” he turned his puppy dog eyes on the older woman, already knowing he wasn’t going to change Y/N’s opinion. “Isn’t this too harsh?”  
“I’m not your grandmother, boy.” 
“I’m your great grandson’s father.” he pointed out as though that would endear him to her, but Kang Ha Won was not to be warmed over. She’d disliked him from the first moment she’d seen him hanging around her granddaughter. 
“Sperm donor only.” 
“Eomoni.” her son simpered, sending Taehyung an apologetic smile. “Don’t be rude. He’s a good boy. He wants to take care of us… his son.” he corrected himself.
“He can take his money and his false care and go. Coming here after what he did to Ha Jin.” she shook her head, huffing as she thought of her younger granddaughter. 
“Eomma?” A small voice called from the stairs, pulling all of their eyes to the little boy who stood there clutching his dinosaur plush and looking absolutely pitiful. 
“Hi, baby.” Y/N cooed, dropping down and holding out her arms for the little boy who immediately puttered over to her, flopping into her embrace. 
“Don’t feel good.” he whined, burying his face in her shoulder. 
“I know, baby.” 
“Is he okay?” Taehyung asked, rising from his seat as though to join her, but Yoongi beat him to it, glaring harshly at the other man. 
“Hey, Eun Jae.” he greeted, crouching down beside Y/N. 
“Hyung?” he peaked up, and Yoongi gave him a smile. 
“You okay, kid?” 
“Tummy hurts.” he whimpered, clutching his mother tighter.
“Maybe we should…” 
“Go.” Y/N ordered sternly, holding Eun Jae close and shooting him glare. “You’re not wanted here.” 
“Y/N!” her father scolded, horrified by her attitude to a perfectly nice, wealthy young man.
“Do you want him to go?” Yoongi asked her softly, so softly that it could only be heard by her and Eun Jae though everyone else was watching them intently, especially Ha Won. 
“It’s da bad man again.” Eun Jae cried into her shoulder. “Don’t like him. Makes Eomma sad.” Y/N looked at him and nodded. It was all the permission he needed. 
“Jackson.” he called, spurring both guards into action, pushing Taehyung out of the restaurant while he and her father protested. Her grandmother followed behind them, scolding them all the way and making sure that he was gone. She watched with disappointment from the door as her son sputtered apologies to Taehyung.
“Why don’t we go home?” he suggested, placing a gentle hand on Y/N’s shoulder. “Would you like that, buddy?” 
Eun Jae nodded, reaching out a little hand to him though he remained safely tucked against his mother. Yoongi took his hand with a smile. “We’ll go home. Okay?” 
“Eomma?” Eun Jae whimpered into her shoulder. “M’tired.” 
“I know, baby.” 
“Here.” Yoongi held out his arms for Eun Jae. “I can take him while you get some of his stuff. 
She looked apprehensive, but didn’t argue, handing Eun Jae to him, and the little boy went willingly enough, clinging to Yoongi instead even though he whimpered and reached out for his mother during the exchange. 
Y/N disappeared upstairs to gather their son’s things, and her grandmother returned. 
“He’s gone.” Ha Won announced, wiping her hands against her skirt. “Good riddance.” Yoongi couldn’t help but agree. “Were those your friends, young man?” 
“Yes.” he nodded, standing up, and gently helping Y/N to her feet as she held Eun Jae in her arms. “Y/N told me he was here, and I thought we might need help to make him go.” 
She raised her brow but didn’t make another comment on it, choosing instead to walk up to him, stopping just a hair’s breadth away as she held his face in her hands. “Are you a good boy?” 
“Yes, ahjumma.” 
“Do you care for my granddaughter?”
“Yes, ahjumma.” 
She nodded, releasing him. “Good. Take care of her. She needs a good man.” 
“I will.” he agreed, flashing a small smile. 
“Good.” she nodded again. “Call me halmeoni.” and Yoongi grinned.
“Take Jae-ah home with you, Y/N-ie.” she sighed, sitting down in Taehyung’s abandoned chair as Y/N came back downstairs.“Your apartment has better security, keeps the scum out.” 
“I’ll take them home.” Yoongi assured her, taking the bag from Y/N. “It’s too late for her to take a bus on her own.” 
“Good boy.” she smiled tiredly, reaching up to pat his cheek, and Yoongi obliged, leaning down to let her. 
“I’m sorry, halmeoni.” Y/N sighed, leaning down to hug her grandmother. “I didn’t think he’d show up here.” 
Her grandmother waved her off. “I’m tired, child, and you have a baby to take care of. We’ll talk tomorrow.” 
“Yes, halmeoni.” 
They made their goodbyes, and Yoongi ushered his family out to the car. Y/N had expected them to go to her apartment, but Yoongi had no such plans. Instead he took them to his place where Y/N swiftly put their son to bed in the guest room after giving him some medicine and taking his temperature again.
“Thank you.” she murmured, joining him in his bed, already changed out of her dress from dinner and into comfy clothes. 
“What for, angel?”
“You didn’t have to help us, but you did.” she murmured, tired as she cuddled almost unconsciously into his side. 
“Of course I did.” he chuckled, stroking her hair. “It’s my job to take care of you.” 
“It’s more than you signed up for.” 
“No. You’re everything I wanted and more.”

colin with kids
warnings: mentions of food
word count: 958
note: requested.
this man loves kids, he’s amazing with them, even those pesky and maddening ones. somehow, he knows just what to do to calm them down or have them listen to him. parents would think he was some sort of miracle worker.
he would talk to them normally. he would gush around them but would speak to them normally, none of the baby talks.
colin loves how the kids have the mindset on how the sky’s the limit.
whenever a kid would be brought to the station if ever they would lose their parents, colin is the one who would always be there to console them because the officers know he’s the right man for the job.
he’d treat them to an ice cream shop around the corner to cheer them up.
would bring them to his office after and bring out the lego sets and candies he has in store for situations like these. would play and build some legos with them to pass time.
colin has lego sets 🥺
anyway- every kid in easttown would know who he is. they love him, i mean- who wouldn’t?
and every mom because they would swoon over the hero detective every chance they would get. (and horny teenagers)
colin would want to have kids with you.
he would wait for the right time, of course. but if you aren’t ready, he would be alright with that.
he’s totally okay with being the cool uncle of your niece and nephews.
as soon as the kids see him, they would immediately tackle him from here to there, asking him to do this and that with them. you wouldn’t be able to see him until later on because he would devote his time to the kids- letting them do whatever they want with him.
they would be fighting for his attention, but he would have to tell them that he has time for each and every one of them.
now if you were willing to have kids with him, he would be on cloud nine.
colin zabel would be the best dad ever, no doubt.
colin would be there for you during labor, letting you squeeze the life out of his hand as he whispered sweet nothing into your ear, praising you for doing such a good job.
would have tears in his eyes once your son is born, he would carry him delicately and give your forehead a soft kiss for being so strong and for bringing your little bundle of joy to this world, REGGIE MALCOLM ZABEL.
colin would immediately be up on his feet once he hears reggie cry, no matter what he’s doing. cooking, watching, working, sleeping— he would put everything that he’s doing on hold to tend to his son, letting you rest, saying that you’ve done enough when you carried your son for nine months.
he would also fill up his phone and camera with baby pictures and videos of reggie, even when he does the littlest thing like gurgling.
colin would let you call him whenever something ‘life-changing’ happens.
“y/n, you have to call me if he says something, okay? or if he laughs at elmo, or tries to stand up, or-”
“i will, colin, okay? now get to work or else mare would get mad again.”
“right- i’ll see you two later.”
colin would always get home before reggie’s bedtime, he would always tell him a bedtime story. from the story of how you met to making up the most ridiculous stories, doing silly voices to amuse him, evidently making it harder for the both of you to make him fall asleep as he demands more stories.
anyway, reggie would grow up loving his dad to the extent. he loves you, too, of course, but the bond he has with his dad would always be beyond compare.
during career day, reggie would brag to his playmates how cool and amazing his dad is. he would also tell them all the stories about how his dad caught a lot of bad guys- and colin would be flustered and so so very happy that his son is proud of him. would also become flustered with how the single moms and reggie’s preschool teacher are swooning over him.
colin would sometimes let him come along to the station because he’s needed there at around 7 and reggie’s school starts at 8, so they’ll just bond there while colin’s doing some paperwork.
both of them having matching big coats … yes.
they’re always exchanging corny jokes, no matter what the other is doing, they would always crack one up. or no matter the occurrences.
“dad, i’m hungry,”
“hi hungry, i’m dad.”
“dAD-“
-
you, colin, and reggie would be bonding at the park. families and friends were out, having picnics, playing, and laughing.
walking around, yells and shouts of teenagers caught your attention but it was too late because as soon as colin turned around, a rapidly soaring frisbee hit him straight on the head, resulting in him groaning on the grass.
“dad! are you okay?”
but he only chuckled, while rubbing his forehead. there was a cheeky grin gracing his lips and a mischievous glint on his eyes, “i was wondering why that frisbee was getting bigger and bigger…”
“mom, is he okay?”
“then it hit me!”
“...”
“...”
“colin, if you weren’t too concussed right now, i would gladly hit you with that frisbee again,”
reggie only snorted and gave his dad a high-five.
and calling reggie his little zabel bagel.
“how was school, li’l zabel bagel?”
“dad- not here, can’t you at least wait ‘til i get in the car?”
