#at different stages of their lives

[bitegrip]

forgot sm from bnha, but esp how much i’m loving the todoroki family storyline. i was so refreshed when it came to light that enji wasn’t just a horrible monster of a parent who did every cruel thing imaginable to his children & wife. real familial abuse isn’t like that, usually. irl family abuse & its effects are messy as hell, esp when the family is big. i’m tired of popular stories contributing to the social idea we have that it’s only abuse if it’s violent or otherwise endangers a victim’s health in the extreme, and that all survivors/victims have clear, uncomplicated feelings about their experiences & abusers that fit neatly into a narrative that the un-abused finds acceptable

#not to mention that #bnha's showing a spectrum #of survivors & their r/s w enji #and how it's different for each person #at different stages of their lives #leo vs horikoshi #bnha #enji todoroki #??? #bro i forgot how to tag

Living together in a big house with one (main) (shared) bathroom means that mornings can be tough.

When you first arrived at the House of Lamentation, it was hard to fit in. It was really hard to get into the bathroom in the mornings and fight six demons for use of the sink. If more than two others were in there at the same time, they practically formed a living wall that blocked you out, forcing you to wake up extremely early or risk being late for school.

That got better over time though. You gradually managed to fit into the house's morning routine.

---

Lucifer has his morning routine down to an exact science. Usually he's fully dressed and has his hair brushed before leaving the bedroom. He might be running on pure muscle memory though - one time you handed him a warm washcloth for his face and he just stared at it in confusion for several seconds with a furrowed brow. He has no problems getting it himself, but this break in routine gave him pause. It took Lucifer a moment to realize what it was and to thank you.

If you get the chance to eat breakfast together, Lucifer likes to ask about your day. "What do you have planned? Remember, we have that meeting at five. Did you prepare for the ancient hex exam?" He might slide a bit of his food onto your plate before he goes, a way of returning the pleasant energy boost you always provide for him.

---

Mammon can hustle. Which means that Mammon can get up early if it benefits him in some way. A part time job, an early bird discount, a chance to slip past Lucifer's defenses and borrow some cash.

That doesn't mean it's easy. Waking up takes some serious effort. Mammon will stumble into the bathroom to do his business first thing in the morning, yawning with his eyes half closed and tugging up whatever pants he just tossed on for modesty.

The tsundere part of his brain takes a few minutes to kick in if he's just woken up. If he spots you, Mammon will demand a good morning hug and wrap his arms around you, deaf to your cries of "Mammon! Go wash your hands before you touch me!"

---

Leviathan is always groaning in the morning. He's probably not aware of it. He's probably muttering complaints but is too tired to actually speak the words properly. His blankets are always a tangled mess, wrapped unevenly around his feet and contorted around his body, but Leviathan can easily Houdini his way out of them when it's time to get up. If there's no event or livestream to wake up early for, he'll sleep in for as long as he can before starting the day with a nice shower.

He finds warm running water to feel so pleasant and you can often find Leviathan spacing out next to the faucet. He'll greet you with a sleepy "ah, morning," and accidentally splash you in an attempt to wave his hand. The embarrassment and slight panic from getting you a towel to dry off with is usually enough to properly wake him up, and he sheepishly exits the bathroom and guards the door until you've finished changing into dry clothes.

---

Satan can hardly even put his shirt on properly when fully awake.

The man's a sleepy mess when he tries to get dressed in the morning. He'll stay up all night to finish a book he's invested in, then stumble out of his room "ready to go" when it's time for breakfast. His pants are unzipped and the button is coming undone. He's only got one sleeve on and it's on the wrong arm, or the buttons on his shirt are all misaligned and half have been skipped over.

He doesn't protest anymore when you tidy him up. Some mornings he'll doze off while you straighten his tie and fall forward into you, then try to play it off as a hug. Satan doesn't want to let go though, you feel so much warmer on a chilly morning.

---

Asmodeus is a rare morning riser. Too much sleep is bad for the skin, he claims. If he has trouble getting up, he'll either go soak in his private tub for energy or seek you out.

"You have to hear what happened last night," he'll say, strolling into your room while there's still ten minutes left on your alarm. He sits on the edge of your bed, and if you try falling back asleep he pulls you up into a sitting position. "Listen to this, you won't believe it!"

Asmodeus isn't afraid to get touchy if it means you'll wake up faster and he gets your attention. He'll sit you in his lap, or press you against his side, or run his hands down your face and squish your cheeks with a mischievous smile.

When the main bathroom is too crowded to use you're free to borrow his, with the caveat he gets to style you for the day and you might be late when he gets overzealous.

---

Beelzebub can also be found awake in the mornings. The quiet hours before everyone else wakes up are best for stretching, taking jogs, and grabbing a pre-breakfast appetizer. He'll get spooked if he hears footsteps approach the kitchen and slam the fridge door shut in a hurry, but all is well when he sees you enter the room instead of Lucifer.

Beelzebub is a big guy who takes up a lot of space. When you run into each other in the bathroom and are rushing to get ready, it's easy to bump into him. On days he's still pretty tired, he might not even notice you bonk your head against his arm. That's fine though - you don't want him to notice you until he's brushed his teeth. After all, Beelzebub's morning breath is a potent magical weapon.

If you need the bathroom sink while he occupies it, Beelzebub is kind enough to nudge you in front of him (once you've confirmed his mouth is minty fresh). You both get to use the mirror this way, and you can both see each other's smiling faces.

---

Belphegor is the king of oversleeping. The powers of you and his twin combined are hardly enough on some days, but mostly the responsibility of waking him falls to you. You quickly learned it's best to wake him from behind his head, if you can manage to maneuver your way into a suitable spot to do so. Anywhere his limbs can easily grab you will result in being pulled into bed. He's like a sleeping kraken.

You suspect that Belphegor wakes up easier than he lets on, but he feigns ignorance. He insists he was totally fast asleep when you struggled to physically drag him down the hallway towards the bathroom, wrapping your arms tightly around his torso with all your strength. And when he clung on to your waist and nuzzled his head into your stomach. And when Beel came to help free you from Belphegor's clutches, but he rolled you under him and muttered "mine now."

Definitely fast asleep, doesn't remember a single thing.

do the starclan angels get to taste the culinary evolutions their descendants cook up? do they ever watch their great grandkids salting something and think "damn that looks agreeable"

Sadly there are downsides to being dead. They can still eat and cook the prey in StarClan offerings, but they can't taste of the mortal plane any longer.

There is ONE exception. Sacrificial offerings can be tasted. Tasting these offerings as a spirit can sometimes have... unintended effects.

Nothing magical, but suddenly, it hits you again that the afterlife isn't the same as being alive. There's flavors you haven't experienced in years. Mass returns to your lips and paws. You realize that you aren't breathing, and for a twinge of a second, your chest surges with the warmth of a beating heart.

Angels who died young are usually alarmed and unsettled by eating such offerings, and won't partake more than once. To others it's a comfort. Many cry after their first experience, so perhaps, unknowingly for the living, it's why it's so common to make food sacrifices during droughts.

#Better bones au #Spirituality overhauls #BB!StarClan #Cw cosmic horror #Clan culture #It's a different sort of existence really. It's not a continuation of life but moving onto the next plane #Like lucid dreaming. Your existence being a lucid dream. #And then one day it will simply become the deeper kind of sleep you've always known but cannot describe #I'm personally fond of the idea that in this system that you've experienced every stage of death before. While living #If death is falling asleep. The afterlife is a lucid dream. And fading is simply the unknowable but comforting state of dreamless sleep. #So perhaps likewise. In the other states of being you occasionally experience the other two.

I think as we grow up, we have to be really conscious of romanticizing the world we grew up in in order to scorn how the next generations are growing up.

Nostalgia isn't inherently bad, but especially in political spaces, be very wary of this idea that there is an Ideal Past we must Harken Back To.

It sucks to feel left behind, but such is the human condition. It isn't bad to feel nostalgic, but that doesn't mean that these new generations are inherently "lost" and "need to be saved (by you)", and I think that is very important to remember and try to be conscious of.

#politics #'the world you grew up in no longer exists' frankly... GOOD! #the world i personally grew up in was scary and lonely and traumatizing. no kid today should STILL be growing up like that #the whole 'nostalgia as a poltical means' is rooted in this idea that... #1) we all grew up in a hegemony 2) we all turned out the same 3) the way we grew up had more privileges afforded to us #and i personally like nostalgia! i like watching videocamera videos from 2005 and looking up super specific shit #but nostalgia does not a good world make #INSERT UMBERTO ECO'S FOURTEEN POINTS ON FASCISM #(though i don't always think nostalgia can lead to this in a political sense there is a fine line) #be very mindful of what motivates nostalgiaposting #is it because people miss childhood and how 'simple' it felt? or is there a different reason that motivates this type of posting? #are you romanticizing childhood to the point you are not remembering your childhood /at all/ but the *idea* of it? #and honestly it is SO jarring when my peers are nostalgic because it's like... we aren't even that old!! #it comes across like... the world is hard and it's getting harder and so we cannot chnage and must wistfully think of the past... #...and to me it comes across as almost... doomerist in how end-stage feelings of nostalgia and hopelessness seen #i feel compassion for the impulse to feel like your old life is over and you need to grieve it... #...but certainly that isn't the younger generations fault? especially because WE are now the ones rasing them and we still yet live #(even at our completely decrepit age of not even close to a mid-life crisis (sarcasm and lighthearted))

Animated TV show this, stage musical that. I think we all know what medium Tazmuir wants TLT to be adapted into.

#fun fact: I only know what tableaus are from a different sci-fi book about lesbians #the locked tomb #tlt #gideon the ninth #gtn #harrow the ninth my beloved #htn #nona the ninth #ntn #For those unaware a tableau is a kind of still art/wax museum thing with living actors #Also I very much want both an animated show and a stage musical if they turn out even halfway decent lol

if not for the unethical sourcing of images and the fact that artists are forced to monetize their work to survive, there would be nothing wrong with AI art at all. there is nothing inherently sacred about art that necessitates human hands involved in its creation, but even if that were the case, AI art in concept is developed from the styles of human artists, and the programs that create it are themselves made and run by humans. The inputs are selected by humans. Consider AI art a potential tool for an alternate avenue of creation, one that is as fundamentally morally neutral as a canvas and paints.

you don’t have a problem with AI art, you have a problem with art theft and capitalism. you don’t want “support HUMAN artists” you want UBI

#if you can tell the difference between AI art and ‘human’ art. then what are you so worried about #if you can’t... well. who cares #if artists get paid a living wage then they can continue to create. full stop. #you’re worried about carving a niche in a late stage capitalist society for artists to survive #and that shouldn’t be necessary... artists shouldn’t need profits or clients to be artists #ai art

Not every single child - adult caretaker relationship is automatically a parental one and I'm very aware fandom is overeager to label them as such and I've talked about that in the past! HOWEVER!! I firmly believe that in the event of a time travel au where post-canon lan xichen - squarely in his 40s and feeling like he aged an extra two decades since guanyin temple - were to somehow be transported back in time and meet 7 year old big-eyed "never done anything wrong in his LIFE" baby Meng Yao it would take him all of 3 hours to decide that he's a stepdad now.

#in canon xiyao are equals and despite their societal power difference they are in fact both very careful to treat each other as such #as much as xichen's feels protective towards jgy he respects him even more #but that dynamic would change significantly with such an extreme age difference plus postcanon lxc's... everything #also... more than anything a-yao needs a decent fucking father figure. someome PLEASE adopt that boy #lan xichen is not the stepdad he is the dad that STEPPED UP! #the 3 hours are him speedrunning all the stages of grief on loop at the sight of a small living meng yao #and then he's grabbing him and meng shi and they are getting out of there!! #mdzs #meng yao #lan xichen

who's ready for a repeat of the heartbreak of round 1?

#alien stage #the main difference is that mizi and sua were actually in love in round 1 but ivan's love is one-sided... #is that more tragic or less? im not sure... but i think that till is going to be the one who dies #hear me out #if we get till vs mizi (which has been set up in a way so i can see it happening) wouldnt that be the same dynamic as ivan vs till? #one person going up against their unrequited love and all #but if we get ivan vs mizi then its different... #1. both of them lost the person they were in love with but more pressingly #2. ivan might presumably resent mizi as the person who the person he was in love with loved #might even somehow shift the weight of his death onto her just so he wouldnt have to live w the survivor's guilt #the way mizi does for sua #so thats my prediction for the till vs ivan round... i think till is getting exploded sorry till #as for luka and hyuna we dont rly know much abt them yet so hard to say but i think luka will probably will against hyuna #and then mizi wins against luka so its mizi vs ivan in the final #thats my bracket #i have other thoughts but ill leave it at that for now
