happy mother's day!! the dekarios brood has Increased

#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #gale dekarios #galemance #dadkarios #tav #poor cyra made three people only for all of them to look like gale #also crying at her thinking she'd be a TERRIBLE parent and then all their children just Adore her

i keep thinking about how much blame i see being put on diluc about attacking kaeya and it drives me absolutely nuts that he’s painted unequivocally as the bad guy. i absolutely don’t think that is the purpose of that story at all. it’s about two kids, agonized by guilt and grief and horribly misplacing those emotions. kaeya went to diluc knowing it wouldn’t end well. diluc had just killed his own father. i feel like it’s wild to expect any sort of normal reaction beyond blinding anger. the point is, this is not meant to be a “who is in the wrong” backstory. it’s about two young men who, faced with a series of terrible circumstances, lost their last remaining familial connection. and in the current story, we’re seeing the clumsy, stilted journey the two make towards reconciliation.

#also if anyone has grown up with brothers #my older ones are best friends and have absolutely gotten into terrible physical altercations as teens #18 & 17 y/os do not have developed brains please 😭 #they do stupid and impulsive things all the time #mischaracterization of these two runs absolutely rampant #even though i half jokingly beef with crepus it’s obvious both of them had strong affection for their father #suddenly losing your only parent is unimaginable #they!!! were!!!!!! just!!!!!!!!! kids!!!!!!!!!!! #especially on kaeya’s side #this is absolutely a ‘i didn’t deserve my adoptive family to begin with’ guilt

Taking a stab at the "The Fourth through Ninth One For All Users are All For One's kids" thing and decided immediately go into angst.

One For All being passed down from kid to kid was purely coincidental. Really it started with Bruce just accidentally picking up Shinomori shortly after Yoichi and Kudou died and then things just kept happening and happening and before you know it we have Izuku, who is AFO's sixth kid to have One For All.

All For One is very pleased with One For All is still within the family, less pleased that his children are all rebelling against him because of it. He always hopes that maybe one child would finally return the Quirk to him but none have.

This of course means that he has to put Shinomori, Banjou, En, and Nana in Vaults.

Those four are in Vaults and they all were given the Longevity Quirk so that All For One will never have his children die on his watch, even as they went and betrayed him. Isn't he a good dad because of that? Ignore all the other parenting decisions that he made while the four vaulted users were growing up and how Yagi and Midoriya essentially had an absent dad.

Don't worry they're eventually found by the League and interact with Heroes. It's just going to take a while to get used to the fact that you are no longer alone with your thoughts anymore and your Bio Dad is in jail and you are now talking to all your half-siblings who were all One For All Users. No big deal.

Don't go and think about the dread too much and don't go and think about the mixed feelings you have for your Bio Dad and your terrible coping mechanisms regarding his shitty parenting! Let's instead go and think about how shitty of a dad All For One is.

Especially in Yagi and Midoriya's case. They get to be salty about their absent dad and drag on him forever.

#my hero academia #boku no hero academia #my hero academia au #boku no hero academia au #dad's the devil and his kids are angels au #shinomori hikage #banjou daigorou #sixth ofa user #shimura nana #yagi toshinori #midoriya izuku #all for one #mod kiwi #once again we have All For One's A+ Parenting #in this au we get 6 parenting styles that All For One uses and all of them are terrible in some capacity!

There should be more Grian and Mumbo accidental baby acquisition type fics, those two could use the enrichment

#I just think they would make terrible parents okay? #grain #mumbo jumbo #waffle duo #grumbo #idc how you interpret them -- I am an aroace relationship anarchist anyways. it's all just a bunch of social constructs to me #rambling about blorbos #grumbot would be an obvious choice #but also imagine the dragon egg from hc8 hatching and all of boatem become parents

3 Things I'd Love To See In Dragons Rising Part 2

1.) Imperium finding out Lloyd is a dragon and then trying to extract his energy. This way we get some acknowledgement of his dragon/oni side. Plus it'll fulfill the seasonal Lloyd getting locked up in a cage requirement (even if it truly isn't seasonal).

2.) An interaction between Sora's parents & Lloyd, with Lloyd getting irritated and reprimanding them for being shitty parents. Would be even better if they tell him, or if Sora's in the scene, tell her that she isn't their child, & Lloyd responds with, "You're right, she isn't your child. She's mine." (Honestly, this one is very unlikely, but hey, I can dream)

3.) Just in any scene, don't care when, Lloyd tells Sora he's proud of her. This would be amazing, because as a child, Sora's parents never told they were proud of her. (and the only time they did was when Sora was "serving Imperium". Honestly shitty parent behavior) And when Lloyd tells her this, Sora pauses in whatever she's doing (rethinking her whole existence), because she's not used to a parental figure actually being proud of her at all (or for her, because again, her parents were only proud because she was helping Imperium). And if we want to make the scene more heartwarming, make Lloyd add on that he'll always be proud of her.

#ninjago sora #ninjago lloyd #ninjago dragons rising #and if Imperium gets redeemed #I better not see Sora's parents get redeemed like other characters #because they're just terrible parents #and if they get partially redeemed Sora still shouldn't forgive them because of all the shit they did to her. #imperium ninjago

I am you shaking by the shoulders right now because THERE ARE NO RULES ABOUT THE GODS NOT BEING ALLOWED TO VISIT THEIR KIDS. That was made up by the movies for whatever reason. They’re lying to you. DONT BE A FOOL.

#I think the reason why this bothers me so much is because it justifies the gods’ terrible parenting and blames it all on zeus #It was never a ‘one bad apple’ situation because all the gods were bad as parents in their own ways #Even the better ones still have their own problems #And despite really liking toa I wish this had been the point of it #That it was terrible for the demigods and that ALL of the gods needed to change #Not just Apollo not just Zeus all of them #Because the system that was in place was causing the demigods to suffer #pjo #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo movies #pjo gods #olympian gods pjo #trials of apollo #toa

They should bring these back for bands:

Today I found a tour book for the band Heart for their 1986 world tour. It has shots and information of the band during their performances, and then some poster like pictures.

I think that modern bands should bring these back. The one that comes to mind is the band GHOST. With all the theatrics that they do, with running around on stage and stuff, I feel like a tourbook of theirs would do good with all the different lighting that they do during their concerts.

That is the little ramble that bands need to bring back. If I had a band, I would sure as rain be making one and sell them at the merch stand with tapes, CD's, and Shirts.

#Ramblings of a sentient book #The band Heart #ann wilson #nancy wilson #80s #hard rock #heart band #the band ghost #ghost the band #nameless ghoul #ghost band #ghost bc #tour books are really cool #i like them #personally i like all types of band media #my parents quite don't understand it #they are like why do you collect tapes they have terrible life span #although that is true i like holding them in my hands something that is tangible #to hold something and look over it for hours on end is much better than streaming in my opinion #personal rant #rant #ranting #rant post

"The newly widowed Elizabeth (Woodville) was exceptionally vulnerable. Several of the trustees responsible for her jointure refused to hand over the manors that were meant to sustain her in her widowhood. Moreover, her brother-in-law, Edward Grey, had seized estates that her son Thomas should have inherited from his paternal grandfather, while her mother-in-law’s new young husband, Sir John Bourchier, had prevailed on Lady Ferrers to settle her principal properties on them jointly for life, ensuring that Thomas would have to wait far longer for this inheritance too. Rivers and Scales were pardoned in July 1461 and swiftly moved into the Yorkist establishment, which perhaps explains the success of the chancery suits Elizabeth launched to regain her jointure. Her son’s inheritance proved harder to recover. By 1463, Rivers was often in (Edward IV's) company and on his council, but Elizabeth needed someone with much stronger influence over the King. She turned to a distant kinsman, William, Lord Hastings, the King’s chamberlain. Hastings drove a very hard bargain for his aid but it was probably amid these negotiations that the King’s desire for Elizabeth was kindled."

-J.L. Laynesmith, "Elizabeth Woodville: the Knight's Widow", "Later Plantagenet and Wars of the Roses Consorts: Power, Influence, and Dynasty"

#historicwomendaily #elizabeth woodville #Elizabeth really had terrible in-laws #And these people weren't even the worst of them - that particular award goes to Richard of Gloucester #As complicated as her first widowhood sounds it was a breeze compared to the literal nightmare she went through during her second. #Honestly though: part me wonders what Elizabeth's first marriage was like because we know absolutely nothing about it. #The marriage itself is a blank slate but the fact that her husband's parents & siblings were so indifferent and uncooperative #to her - and their own kid-grandchildren?? - after he died indicates that his family may have been rather dysfunctional imo? #Certainly they (or most of them) don't seem to have cared about the wellbeing or dignity of his young and newly widowed wife which #doesn't exactly suggest closeness or support during the marriage itself from their end. #Elizabeth doesn't mention John Gray in her deathbed will either though she mentions Edward IV. She may have thought it was #'inappropriate' to mention her first husband beside her significantly higher-ranked second husband...but she DOES mention her son by #her first marriage - which would have drawn attention to it anyway - alongside her royal daughter so that's unlikely to have been a reason. #Maybe it was simply the passage of time? She and John had been married for very few years and she lived such a different life after that #So it's possible that her first marriage simply seemed very distant and faraway to her. #Alternatively it may have simply been undivided affection for Edward IV (her husband of 19 years who she married for love) #which fits well into the relatively personal nature of her will. #Of course we don't actually know anything about any of this and this is all pure wild speculation on my end...but I'm curious. #It's really a shame how little we actually know about Elizabeth's life - made worse by the very limited primary records of Edward IV's #reign and the fact that his chamber records don't survive. And it's even more frustrating that this is so rarely actually acknowledged #by historians. I'd argue we know far more about the life & interests of most other 'prominent' women of the Wars of the Roses #(sans the Neville sisters) than we do about Elizabeth Woodville.

Btw I’m actually a little behind on the pjo series so I’m only on like. Episode 5. But I’m getting to the end of it and I just wanna say I love Annabeth so much I love her and I love Leah Sava Jeffries they’re both incredible

#chatter #pjo tv show #pjo series #annabeth chase #riordanverse #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #leah sava jeffries #shes an adorable little girl and a pretty great actress!! #it’s just like. like wow. look at her go! look at her grow!! #kinda spoilers here so look away if you don’t want them but like. it’s only episode five. it’s the very first adventure they have together #we all know how annabeth and percy and grover grow throughout the whole series and everything but this is still the very first one. #the start of all their adventures and all their changes and all their growing #and it’s like. maybe more towards the middle of the quest now? i can’t remember fully #but they’ve only known each other such a short while and already he’s inspiring her #and shes outright saying it!! outright shes saying that his belief in fairness and belief in thinking they can and should be better #has made her realize the same!! that families shouldn’t treat each other so terribly! that parents shouldn’t be neglectful! #that the prices they’re forced to pay shouldn’t exist at all!! #idk how to word it really. but i love how even if percy is a pessimist. even if he’s cynical. it’s because he knows things SHOULD be better #and how he’s able to make everyone around him see how much better it can be too #and annabeth. who was one of athenas favorites. who ran away at such a little age that the way these things are is #the only thing shes ever really known. is able to hear what he says and realize he’s right. is able to say no. no more i agree with him. #like. shes sorta the golden child in a way because she gets attention and her little hat and everything. #shes one of the favorites. and shes willing to give it all away!! shes willing to say no!! #shes willing to give up that favored status for saying that it should be the standard! the bare minimum! #anyway. im sleepy and i wanted to say annabeth chase is such an amazing character. i love her.

when u've just been through the most harrowing experience of your life (your brother lied to you) (and also u got a gf) and then have no idea what the end fight of the movie is about even though you're the main character of like, life,

(source)

#AU where Thor assumes off what Loki is saying that he's the adopted one and Loki is freaking out because of the stresses of being heir #like oh that's terrible Loki I'm sorry everything got dropped on you like that at once I'm so sorry here I'll help you adjust to kingship #which inadvertently ends up with Thor calming Loki enough for him to stop the bifrost plot and no longer thinking he would kill him #Thor like I don't care if we're not blood and in hindsight i treated you terrible thinking I was going to be king and wage wars and such #and Loki starts talking about how he killed Laufey (again with NO CONTEXT loki buddy get a grip) #and Thor is like oh surely that was traumatic having to slay the enemy king for the good of Asgard... I will vouch for you luring him Loki #etc. #Language! #L! #Sif and the Warriors 3 will not fare well with Thor supporting his brother as king i think dksjfvhsdbf after all their effort sajdkf #whenever Odin wakes up Thor confronts them and asks who his real parents are and Odin and Frigga are like >.> 'i didn't tell him' <.< #maybe he phrases it like ''i would like to hear the truths of our parentage from you yourselves'' so they're like uh oh

I was randomly thinking about the ninja's parents earlier and now I wanna make a poll

I put them into pairs instead of as individuals because idk I felt like it I guess

#ninjago #lego ninjago #polls #i'm too lazy to tag all the characters #also none of the dr ninja because #we've barely seen arin's parents #sora's parents are terrible everyone hates them #wyldfyre is the only one who has parents that we really get to see who aren't shitty #those being heatwave and that robot who just sort of vanished i guess #seriously what happened to them i wanna see them again #but anyway it would feel weird to include wyldfyre but not the other two i guess

my aesthetics :

the second quarter quell generation, pt one (aka the generation with all the principal characters’ parents, and then also haymitch)

#thg #hunger games #haymitch abernathy #Katniss everdeen #Peeta mellark #maysilee donner #thgedit #okay so in order this goes #Haymitch Haymitch’s girl katniss’s parents Peeta’s parents and then the donner twins #i will make a part 2 with the characters if I can think of more than gales parents #if I can’t hazelle and her husband will be retroactively added into this one #myaesthetics #myedit #ya lit aesthetic #ya lit edit #and yeah this may be shameless promo one day for my lil 2nd quarter quell ficcy #which is why the little title for Mr E is confusing !!! because a lot of this is about my made up lore!!! his mom is Maude ivory but she #disappeared when he was a child #which is why Katniss knows nothing about her own gramma!!! #ok anyways if I ever write it all the little titles will make sense but for now they’re confusing because I made this specially for me for #my made up headcanons that make no sense to anyone else lololololol #oh oh oh also I put black eyes in both Katniss’ mom and Peeta’s mom’s edits for a reason!!! #ok so like I always interpreted it that abuse in the merchant class was more common #like what Peeta obviously went through at home was actually normalized in his circle #and it’s also implied Katniss’ mom was shunned by her parents for marrying Katniss’ dad so I figure they couldn’t have been good parents #and then Peeta’s mom Ruby also has blood on her own hands because we know she one day is abusive to her own kids so it’s like #she experienced abuse and then continues the terrible circle #but obviously Katniss’ mom lavender does not! she has other issues though but the young version is so fun to play with #also young Haymitch and his girl here would be the most judgey pretty couple #I have lots of headcanons for them some of which I’ve entwined already into at least one of my fics

why is everything (showing other people respect. being patient and kind. not flying off the handle about stupid things. emotional regulation and self-control. et cetera.) so easy when I'm not around my parents and so so so so hard when I AM around them?

#this is a genuine question btw I need advice bc I'm STRUGGLING. idk why everything makes me frustrated and angry #when I'm around my parents and it's SO hard to be kind and respectful to them and my sister #but so easy literally everywhere else #I hate that I'm like this I wish I could genuinely be a nice person but apparently the person #I REALLY am is the horrible selfish lazy brat I am with my parents. #even though it feels 100% easier otherwise APPARENTLY the real me is the one I revert to at home #but being nice away from home comes so naturally?? so is THAT the real me??? idk what to do I'm so frustrated right now #Lu rambles #can my mutuals please weigh in bc I feel like a terrible horrible emotionally illiterate person rn #bc of a conversation in which I fought with my mom over the fact that I have a hard time respecting my middle school aged sister #bc I don't want her (bold. confident. sometimes a little bit of a brat as well bc humanity) thinking she can walk all over me #the way she acts always makes me feel like she thinks she's better than me but maybe it's just my mindset. bc I KNOW #that my middle schooler sister IS better than me in most ways and I HATE that. how can someone #so much younger than me be better than me at basically everything she sets her mind to? #and how can I ever have confidence in myself when I know that's the case??? it's so frustrating!! #ugghdnfnsngsmkgnskfnskd I need advice and prayers. and probably to go to bed early tonight.

at times i do indulge in a bit of cold ruthless anti hero regulus but like the way i envision him the “soft enough to believe them” line will always be central to who he is

#before anything else he is so so desperate to be loved and approved of #he would humiliate himself for it #and that’s also why i think it’s important for the black brothers #that their relationship had deteriorated long before sirius left #like ofc that was the final nail in the coffin #but to me the reason regulus didn’t go with sirius isn’t that he didn’t want to #or believed their parents were good to them. it’s that he didn’t believe sirius LOVED HIM anymore #and he wasn’t going to exchange terrible love for no love at all #dil.txt
