Dick takes a deep breath as he fiddles with the bowtie of his tux. Everything will go just fine, he tells himself. It's a perfect day. He's getting married. Happiest day of his life. Nothing can ruin it. Nothing. Not the snafu with getting the marriage license. Not Bruce breaking his back and not being able to come. Not even any reservations he might be having about whether this is even a good idea to begin with. Really, none of that will matter once the music starts, the vows are said, the cake is cut. Any negativity will just be a minor footnote in the best day of his life.
"Nice bowtie," a vaguely familiar voice snickers from behind him. "You look really dapper." It takes everything in Dick not to visibly startle. It would have been really embarrassing if he had. He is Nightwing, after all. He's better than that.
So who could have possibly gotten the jump on him? His awareness is second to (almost) none. His mind shifts into high gear, this could be dangerous and he really, really does not need this on this perfect day-
He whirls around, tensing, mentally preparing for a fight if need be-
"You," he sputters, instead. The kid--*the* kid, circus kid--is sprawled on a chaise and furiously pressing buttons on his cell phone. He opens and shuts his mouth in disbelief, trying to figure out what on earth is happening. Why. How. "What are you doing here?" he finally manages to get out. This kid has been annoyingly evading him for months after the debacle at Haly's and he just shows up here? Now? Why.
The kid holds up a finger as if to say 'hold that thought'. Dick clenches his jaw in annoyance. The kid presses a few more buttons and finally looks up at him.
"These brick phones, my god," the kid says, "Forgot how annoying T9 texting is, really, how do you guys even deal-" the kid stops himself and clears his throat, "Sorry. Um. Did you ask something?"
Much to Dick's consternation, though, Timothy Drake just looks delighted. "You figured it out," he says brightly. "I mean. Of course you figured it out. I wouldn't have expected anything less."
Dick bites back a frustrated groan. "Yea," he snaps. " I asked 'what are you doing here'," he pauses, "-Tim." He says the name with a sharp smile. Hopefully that put a little pressure on the kid, the fact that Dick figured him out. He deserves it. It's what he gets for thinking he can one up Nightwing. And for the way he walks around all holier than thou, totally secure in his knowledge of everyone's secret identities--seriously, how does he even know-
Ugh. Awful. Dick was really hoping the kid would be intimidated. It's rather annoying that he's not. "You didn't really think I'd believe your name was Alvin Draper, did you?"
Tim smirks and opens up his mouth as if to reply when he's interrupted by the sound of a ringing phone. He holds up a finger one more time to Dick before answering his cell. "Hello?" he says. "Mom! You made it to Gateway City alright? How was the flight?" he pauses. Dick can hear a female voice coming out of the phone, but can't make out any words. "Geez, mom, don't you dare stress about it," Tim continues on, completely ignoring Dick again. "You're gonna knock the guest lecture out of the park. I know it. Me?" Tims eyes dart to the side. "Of course I'm at school. Where else would I possibly be?" He pauses for a minute. "I promised you I'd stop sneaking off campus, didn't I?" Another pause. "Seriously, I'm at school, I swear." Tim bites his lip. He looks a little guilty. Dick can't deny the little satisfaction he gets from that. From the sound of it, the kid is quite the lying little truant. He should feel guilty. Especially because he's lying to come bother Dick on his wedding day. A day that has enough little problems as it is. Dick really does not need more. "Okay. Okay. Will do," Tim is saying to the woman on the phone. "Yea. Love you. Bye." Tim finally hangs up the call and his expression brightens again as he looks back up at Dick. "Sorry about that," he says. "So what did you want to know again?"
Dick grinds his teeth. For the love of- "What are you doing here?" he asks--for the third time.
"Oh, that," Tim says brightly. "I just thought you might want to know that Raven's going to crash the wedding, like literally, crash into the wedding and totally blow up the officiant today. Like kablooey, poof." Tim waves his hands around his head for added effect. "Not a fun time for anyone here. You might wanna do something about that."
Dick can feel his brain short-circuit as he tries to make sense of what the kid is telling him. He can feel his temper start to rise as what the kid said really sinks in. "No way," he snarls. "Just because you got lucky at the circus and somehow saved Wilhelm and you seem to know way too much for your own good doesn't mean you get to come in and make all sorts of wild accusations about my friends, how dare you-"
Tim looks genuinely disheartened by Dick's anger. "I'm not trying to cause trouble, really," he says. "I was just hoping to stop anything bad from happening today. I thought you'd at least consider believing me after Haly's." Tim shakes his head with a small sigh of defeat. "Seriously, I expected Bruce totally brushing me off, but I figured I could count on you to keep an open mind. Well, at least I tried. Stay safe out there." Tim jumps off the chaise in one smooth motion and moves to head towards the door.
"Wait," Dick says. It's probably a bad idea to even entertain this crazy kid. But it's probably an even worse idea to just let him go like this. Tim pauses and looks back expectantly. "What do you mean, you expected Bruce to brush you off. About what?"
Unfortunately, Dick does know Bruce. And he knows that Tim is exactly right about that. "It's terrible, isn't it?" Dick sighs in agreement before he can stop himself. Tim's eyes light up in absolute elation. Dick groans internally. He shouldn't have even given the kid an inch. Somehow he just knows that Tim is going to take a mile.
Tim snorts. "I totally tried to warn him that Bane was aiming to break his back and that fighting everyone without help was going to bite him in the butt, but did he listen? No, of course not. He probably thought the warning was part of Bane's master plan to take him down and ignored it," Wait. Bruce was warned about the injury and didn't do anything to stop it so he could come to Dick's wedding. What a--Dick grits his teeth. Tim rolls his eyes. "Probably my fault anyway. I should have known better. I mean, you know Bruce. Sometimes trying to help him is like trying to squeeze blood from a stone."
But still. Somehow this annoying, cagey, know-it-all kid is right. The kid was right at the circus. He's right about Bruce. And as much as Dick doesn't want to think about everything that's downright conspiring to ruin what should be the best day of his life, maybe he should at least hear the kid out and consider whether he's right about this too.
Ugh. Terrible. So much for nothing can possibly ruin his day.

Inside, outside
Pairing: 10k x reader
Warnings: Swearing, mentions of blood and brains
Chapter: 5.06
After bringing the quad bike to a complete stop when you spot a deserted-looking warehouse, 10k jumps off the back first, and immediately you’re missing the warmth of his arm wrapped around your waist. With the sling of his gun over his shoulder, he offers you his hand to help you climb off. If 10K wasn’t a gentleman before, people would probably be catching onto how protective he was being.
You, 10K, Warren, Murphy, and Addy had gone to find the source of bizkit’s and why they seemed to be low rations of it, while Doc and George headed back to Altura to keep an eye on Dante’s trial.
“Is that the bakery? The place looks abandoned.”
“It doesn’t mean nobody is home,” Warren points out.
The five of you stand on the edge of a small hill that leads down to the pathway into the building. The side of the hill was mainly covered in rubble, preventing any vehicles from driving on it.
Murphy looks lost in thought; a look of distress appears on his face. You lightly hit his arm to gain his attention. “Are you okay?”
“I smell brains.”
“This must be the place, then.”
When the five of you started making your way down the path, you were being extra cautious not to trip while walking on such a rocky surface. 10k stays in front of you and continues to glance back, ready to catch you if you do fall.
Murphy walks by you at a normal pace and scoffs, “You two make me feel sick.”
“Just keep walking, Alvin.”
“My biggest fear is losing you. When you were kidnapped, I realized how much I loved you and that there was nothing I wouldn't do to find you,” Murphy says mockingly. “You're my best friend, Tommy, and there's not a line I wouldn't cross to keep you safe.”
10k glares at him and warningly snaps, “Shut the hell up.”
Addy, who’s standing at the bottom, already looks up in confusion. “What is he talking about?”
“Nothing.”
In a high-pitched fake girly voice, Murphy says, “I knew our fates were intertwined.“
“I swear to god!” You knew Murphy was looking for a reaction, and usually you wouldn’t take the bait too easily, but he had been teasing you since you left for this new task.
“Don’t get wound up; he’s not worth the reaction,” 10k says calmly, but as soon as you reach the bottom where the others are waiting, he presses the long side of his rifle against Murphy’s collarbone, pushing him into the wall. “Lay the fuck off Murphy.”
“Jeez, lighten up, kid.”
10k steps back.
Warren clicks her fingers. “All of you, focus.”
Once you checked, nobody else was in sight. You round the corner, and Addy breaks the lock on the door, giving you all access to the building.
The inside of the building stinks of rotten meat, which is explained when you find human skulls and parts of rotten brains scattered across various baking trays.
The group had split up, but you could see both Addy and 10k going to check out the same area. It saddened you that they no longer had a close relationship, and you felt partially responsible for it, but then it was your sister who left. Since they last saw each other, Addy had lost an eye, and 10k had lost his hand, and they could have leaned on each other for support.
“Astra, I’m really sorry, but it looks like she left during the night.”
You shake your head, refusing to believe it. “No, no. Something is wrong; Addy wouldn’t just go without leaving me. She wouldn’t do that.”
When you awoke in the morning to find Addy gone, you assumed she had gone hunting, but when she never returned, a couple of hours later, you, 10k, and Red went looking for her, but you couldn’t find her. You returned to your home to see if she had returned.
Red links her fingers with yours and gives you a sympathetic look. “All her stuff is gone.”
You squeeze your eyes shut to hold back tears. Addy only found you in the first place while looking for someone else. “She’s gone to find Lucy,” you say, clearing your throat. “We should go and let Tommy know; I don’t want him out there looking for someone who doesn’t want to be found.”
You aim your gun in the direction of something being crushed and slowly make your way over to a large mixer, which appears to have turned on itself. You look inside it and almost gag at seeing more skulls.
“You guys seeing this? This place is gross.”
When you don’t get a reply, you spin around to see Warren staring at something with a concerned look on her face. She notices you looking and waves you over. When you do, you see what the problem is.
“Eh Murphy, are you good? You’re practically drooling over a skull?”
“Yeah,” he quickly shrugs your comment off. “This place just gives me the munchies.”
All of a sudden, a man appears and starts firing at the three of you. Quickly, you jump out of the way to avoid being shot and accidentally scrape your stomach on something sharp. You duck behind one of the metal tables and, taking a few deep breaths, look down to see blood appearing on your top.
No, no, no.
Murphy crawls over beside you and says, “What the hell are you doing? We gotta keep moving.”
“Yeah, yeah, I know I just—fuck.”
“Did you get shot?”
“No, I’ve just cut my stomach.” The cut wasn’t deep, and you were sure it hadn’t harmed the baby, but it gave you one hell of a fright. Between deep breaths, you start mumbling to yourself, “Tommy is going to freak.”
Seeing how afraid you are, something clicks in Murphy, and he gives you a look of understanding. He knows. Quietly, he says, “Stay behind me; we are going to make a run for it.”
You nod, and the two of you manage to run behind a different spot without being shot.
“I don’t want to hurt you, but I will if you try anything stupid.” You say, aiming at the man who was previously trying to kill your head.
While he chases Murphy and Warren off from either side, the man seemed to not care that much about weapons being so close to his head. “It looks like we’ve got ourselves a zombie standoff. You have me; I got him, and my brothers got all three of you.”
You glance around the room; it was more than likely that 10k or Addy had gotten to his brother first.
“We are looking for bizkits,” Warren says. “We have starving talkers that are starting to turn.”
“We are just trying to survive ourselves, and it’s crooks like you who have shut down the bakery and turned us into a bunch of dirty dogs. So lower your weapons and kindly waltz out of here, or we’re all going to be crawling brains.”
“Look, I don’t know who you think we are, but we aren’t them.”
“That’s what the last bunch said before they started shooting.”
You didn’t doubt the man’s story for a second; the bakery was covered in a red mist of blood. A door creaks open, and Addy and 10k bring out another man, whom you assume is the brother with a gun at his back.
“Listen,” you lower your weapon slightly, “your brother is still human, and I know you want to keep it that way. Just tell us what we want to know, and nobody else will get hurt.”
The man gulps down, “So, you're in need of some help?”
While the older man, Gilly, looks at his younger brother, Skull's nose, which was cut by your sister 10K, pulls you aside and grips a hold of the bottom of your top, “What the hell happened? Are you okay?”
“I’m fine; it’s just a cut.”
He holds your gaze. “Are you sure?”
“We’ll be fine.”
You return to your group just in time to hear Gilly explain that it was their mom who invited bizkits to save their brother, who had been bitten, but then the brother bit the mom when they ran out. And since the bombing, someone has been attacking the bakery so they won’t continue making them. Their mom had turned two weeks ago, and she was the only one who had the recipe.
You look up at the window of the office overlooking the rest of the bakery and see multiple talkers that have turned.
Murphy stands up a table, holds up a radio, and turns the music up to distract the talkers while Skull sneaks inside to get the recipe. The plan was going well until Skull tripped and fell and was bitten by their zombified brother right after their mom ate the recipe.
“I hate to say it, but the only way to keep them from turning might be to feed them actual brains.”
From the doorway at the far side of the room, multiple heavy footsteps can be heard, along with snarling and hissing. All the noise must have attracted the nearby Z’s from outside. Thankfully, only a small number of them came into the building.
You run up behind one of the Z’s and stab it in the head before shooting another two. You notice Addy and 10k working together to take out Z's, which makes you smile.
Warren cuts the head off one and tosses it to Gilly.
You stand behind 10k and bury your face into his back, not wanting to witness Gilly crushing the skull, then cutting up the brains, and then feeding them to the walkers.
When the talkers return to normal, the mom flirts with a creeped-out Murphy, kissing him on the cheek before continuing to help.
Sitting with your legs dangling over the edge of a table, you watch as the brothers bag up the last of the bizkits. Hearing a whistling noise, you look over to Murphy, who was trying and failing to be discreet by waving you and 10k over to him, then looking away.
You and 10k stand on either side of him. “What’s going on?”
“I just wanted to say...” he trails off while tracing patterns in the flour scattered across the table with his finger. Murphy's jaw clenches slightly. “I don’t like either of you, but I do think you will be great parents, even lefty over here.”
With that, he turns and quickly walks away. You share a confused look with 10k. “Did you tell him?”
“No, but I think he figured it out.”
Ultimately, you’d need to tell the others the truth sooner than later. 10k smiles and brushes strands of hair out of your face. “Go for it.”
“Uh, guys, we’ve got something we need to tell you.”
Warren and Addy step a little closer, and you try not to laugh, seeing the worried look on their faces.
“Tommy and I are having a baby.”

Broken hearts
Part one
Summary: y/n and the triplets grew up together but Matt and her never got along they hated each other but maybe that changes ??
Warnings in this chapter: swearing
I have known the triplets my whole life, I’ve grown up with them. My mom and their mom have been best friends since they were kids and so have me and the triplets, well not Matt. I hated Matt everything about him, the way he would leave the room when ever I would talk or come over, the way he would never be serious even when I needed him to too, the way he smiled, the way he would ruin all my relationships, but mostly I hated the way his girlfriend Isabella was just as bad as him.
I had just got home from work and walked into my house to see my bestfriend andreea, andreea and i have known eachother for 4 years but she was the best thing in my life she was my sister, if I ever needed something it was her who I would go too especially since I move away from home and didn’t have my mom to talk to anymore.
“What you smiling at” I asked her as she stared at me with a grin on her face
“don’t freak out but guess who just got a modelling job for LV” she jumped up
“NO WAY WHAT” I gasped
“yeah and guess who else is gonna be there” she said as I thought for a second, Felix I thought to myself. No she would be freaking out but then who else would It be
“Felix?” I asked her she nodded her then screamed
“OH MY GOD UR GONNA BE DOING MODELLING WITH FELIX YONGBOOK LEE” I shouted hugging her, she’s been obsessed with him for years and I was so happy for her.
A few hours had gone by andreea has already left to go model and I was omw to the triplets house to watch a movie with Chris and Nick maybe Matt depending on if his girlfriend was over she never wanted him in the same room as me, why would she care me and Matt hated eachother I’d never fall for that idiot.
I knocked on the door no answer, I went to knock again and the door opened. It was Isabella she rolled her eyes
“Ugh it’s you” she said fake gagging after, what an ass.
She walked inside grabbing matts arm trying to pull him out of the room, “come on Matt let’s go somewhere that smells nicer” she said giggling to herself. God I hate her too, Matt looked at me and realised I was stood there, he then turns to Isabella and pecked her on the lips “okay baby” he smiled at her then batting an eye at me, ew. They both went upstairs Matt chasing her up making her laugh.
“hey y/n” nick said pulling me into a hug I hugged him back stepping inside taking my shoes off.
“Y/NNNN” Chris shouted pushing me onto the couch “nice to see you too Chris” I laughed.
The room was set nicely I sat between Chris and Nick on the couch as we started to watch Alvin and the chickmunks.
To be honest I couldn’t focus on the movie when I could hear the couple upstairs laughing, could they shut the fuck up.
I lay my head on nicks shoulder we was about an hour in and the door upstairs slammed and we could hear Matt and Isabella shouting
“GET THE FUCK OUT BRO” Matt screamed
“I NEVER DID THAT” she snapped back, they both were now downstairs, they were arguing there always fucking arguing there relationship was toxic, and that’s another reason i hate Matt he can’t keep a stable relationship but he can control mine???
“Isabella you cheated now get out and don’t message me, call me or try to see me again we’re done and this time I’m being serious” Matt spoke angrily, me Chris and Nick had our jaws hung open. She cheated? What? With who? What happened? I had so many questions.
“Fine whatever fuck you matt.” She knocked over a glass of water before storming out slamming the door behind her.
I couldn’t tell if he was hurt or just angry, “you okay” I spoke up breaking the silence.
“I don’t need your pitty” Matt rolled his eyes.
“She’s just looking out for you Matt” Chris then said “and what even happened?” Chris added
“She was sending nudes to some guy she has been for months” he announced looking at the ground, for a moment I felt bad he seemed.. hurt but then again matts an ass but no one deserves to be cheated on
“Sorry bro” Chris responded
“Yeah you can do better” nick added on
“I told him that ages ago” I stated, Chris and Nick laughed
“Shut up ray don’t give dating advice if you don’t even know how to date or even dates anyone” he snapped
“Maybe because you ruin everything I have with any guy by making up lies or blocking them on my account or making them run away” I spat back
“Cause there ass holes” he growled
Why did Matt care, he doesn’t care about me so why stop me from dating ass hole. let’s face it, it’s Matt hes probably never heard of any of the guys I’ve ever had a date with and made up lies to stop me from being happy.
I snapped out of my thought but mad had already left the room and Chris and Nick were back to watching the movie, shortly after my eyes grew heavy and I fell asleep.
-
I woke up to music playing, mmm i mumbled opening my eyes looking around, I was asleep on the triplets couch and Matt was in the kitchen getting water his eyes glued on his phone.
“What time is it” I asked. No response he didn’t even look at me and walked upstairs with the glass of water in his hands still staring down at his phone.
I checked my phone I had like 100 missed calls of Andreea, shit I never told her I stayed I didn’t even mean too I fell asleep, i called her back.
-
“Andreea im so sorry i fell asleep” i said as soon as she picked up
“It’s okay but tell me next time I was worried”
“How did the brand deal go”
“Amazing I’ll tell u all about it when ur home come home now pleasee”
“Alright I’ll be home in 15”
We exchanged goodbyes before ending the phone, Chris and Nick were still asleep so I left them a message that I was leaving so they would see it when they wake up. I put my shoes and coat on and headed outside and got into my car,shit I mumbled I was out of gas and I lived to far to walk it. Just go ask him I kept telling myself as I walked back into the triplets house, I knew the answer was probably gonna be no Matt would never give me a ride home he’s a dick.
I knocked on his bedroom door I waited about 10 seconds before he opened it his eyes were puffy and his nose was red, had he been crying?
“You good” I asked “what the fuck do you want Y/N” he said leaning against the door frame “I’m out of gas and I need to get home” I explained.
“No.” That’s all he said staring at me with a blank stare
“Ur such an ass” i responded
“What because I’m not taking you home get over yourself” he spat back
“Whatever matt” I replied “Isabella was a bitch but she don’t deserve you she deserves better and you don’t deserve her you don’t deserve anyone’s love because you can’t show any care to anyone not even someone you have knows you whole life” I spat out walking away.
I walked into the garden of the triplets house about to order an Uber “get fucking in then” someone said I turn around, it was Matt, I didn’t complain I needed to get home I just rolled my eyes and got in the passenger seat.

Acceptance of a True State (transfem tim caroline hill)
First installment
Current installment under the cut
He had tried to ignore how the name "Timothy" grated along his skin.
How Caroline was like a balm to soothe a burn.
He flopped onto his bed at the Manor, groaning as he and Dick came back from an outing with Damian for some art supplies.
He was getting into weaving.
Good for him.
It was after dinner, so they just were left to their own devices. It was a low energy day for most of the house.
The Caroline wig needed cleaning. Tim washed and blowdried it in his bathroom before trying to brush it one handed since she forgot his maniquin head at the Nest.
She grumbled before putting it on so he could brush it like a regular head of hair.
She paused when he saw how she looked in the mirror.
The collision of Tim and Caroline.
Tim's clothes and Caroline's wig and it was like seeing two worlds meld into one and she just wanted to deny it and push her head underneath her pillows and hide in their closet like a scared kid hiding from shapes made from the shadow of clothes on a stray chair during the night.
She took a breath and brushed out her hair, becoming used to the sight in the mirror.
It made sense, from how she felt ever since Caroline became part of the closet. A section just for her.
The name Caroline fit better than Tim, but it didn't feel like a name she would keep. Why would it?
Caroline was an alias, someone to dissapear in.
She wasn't meant to dissapear.
She responded more readily to Caroline because it was the lesser of two evils.
Caroline was a stepping stone thrown at crack in the wall which tears down the entire fortress.
Peices of her were in Caroline, same thing with Alvin.
Caroline just felt more right. More like her.
The color of hair she chose for Caroline looked a few shades darker than Janet's. Like her mother was passing down a revalation in place of the love she forfiet in life.
She finished brushing her hair, debating what hairstyle to test out before doing a final brushing and storing it.
She put her hair into a high and messy bun, just holding it up to see how it would look.
That was her.
Completely and utterly her.
Timothy was based off of old Greek, right? It meant honor or honoring God.
She picked up her phone and scrolled through some baby name sites, seeing Minta cross her screen while she was curled up on the bathroom floor in a newly washed wig.
She scrolled back up, reading the meaning.
Protector and defender.
She looked at the name it was contracted from.
Araminta
She tapped on the hyperlink.
One of the meanings was strength.
It fit.
Minta smiled as a wave of relief flowed through her.
She didn't want to hide it. She was done living in denial. Araminta didn't care anymore.
She had her crisis, and now had her answer.
She had her big deal.
Now? When she done and that it was true?
It's a fact of her life now.
She opened up the family groupchat.
Selected her profile.
And changed it to something stupid about her name.
Ara-Ara
Save new change?
Saved.
Ara-Ara: Was anyone going to tell me that an alias could crack an egg or was caroline just SUPPOSED to trans my gender
Where's the B: Not many people crossdress for cases so yes, Caroline Hill was just supposed to make you realize that you are transgender.
Grayninja: CONGRATS BABY BIRD!!
DamiDolls: good for you, i am robbing your drawers for cufflinks at swordpoint in an hour
Wanted Dead Or Alive: congrats kid
Goo Goobie: that's good to know! why do i have a feeling from your display name that you named yourself after an evil anime lady
Princess Cass has sent a thumbs up and a trans flag
Princess Cass: im happy for you
Brighthouse Networks: neat!
Twilight Sparkle: girls(?) onlu shopping trip when??
Ara-Ara reacted to Goo Goobie with a laughing emote
Ara-Ara reacted to Twilight Sparkle with a purple heart.
Ara-Ara: my name is Araminta
Alfred Pennyworth: Drat, I lost the bet with Miss Kyle. That is quite a fine name Mistress Araminta.
Grayninja: wait
Grayninja: we now have the abcs
Grayninja: araminta, bruce, and cass
Where's The B: Yes, a dad and his daughters
Princess Cass sent three yellow hearts.
Ara-Ara: yk i have never truely played dress up
The chat went quiet before the thundering of footsteps echoed in the hall.
Dick and Steph got through her bedroom door first before blocking everyone else off to affronted screams. Steph had clothes in her arms that Caroline wouldn't be caught dead wearing.
Araminta grinned at them from the bathroom doorway.
"Minta, want to do a fashion show?"
"Hell yeah!"

I just found some meme videos about some DJ Bouncin Beats toy and, god, I've spent my whole afternoon howling of laughter! The high pitched moans, the bounces that sounds like meat slapping, the kinda porny music... it was too much and, idkw, Santi just popped into my mind after. Would he find it funny too if I do the same with the toy in front of him? would he weirded out cuz it's a kid's toy? or... oh wait! maybe I could use it as a decoy for lust demons?
Listen anon.
If you turn that thing on in the living room, he'll quickly fall into whatever trap you have planned. His brain doesn't even stop to wonder why there's corny music playing or why it sounds like Alvin and the Chipmunks are having a threesome- All Santi's mind registers is rhythmic slapping and moaning.
Yeah, he's going to be upset he fell for something so obvious. But give it a couple of days and he'll fall for it again.
Vesper will fall for it once. Then he'll start playing with the thing and moaning the most disgusting things just so he can make his imps bust their ribs from laughing.

Alright i can't decide so y'all are fixin to do it for me
I have several things i wanna work on but i cant pick one to do so ive been doin none of em
Options are
Redoing the Httyd Timeline and Ages post i made a while ago. Its all mostly accurate and the things not explicitly stated in canon i still stand by, but i found a couple other things to add in, and overall its a lil messy cause its from when first started making longer posts, so it could just do with an overhaul to clear it up a bit
Im trying to go through and make a Full AU list, with Name and a summary of what its about, so i can actually talk about em here, as well as sorting all other AUs out properly. These were all talked mostly via the Discord Server, so its literally sorting through whats gotta be hundreds of thousands of messages from over the course of >1 year. Which its great because ive deeply enjoyed talking to everyone ( Shout out to the Discord Buddies, Love yall, you're the Best🫶🫶) but my god, i should have kept on top of it lol.
This one i don't know if anyone else even really is interested in, but y'all are getting it eventually regardless, because ya know you can't stop me from making posts here, no matter how much yall may want to sometimes (Toothfull my beloved <3). Anyway the gist of this one is, idk if its just me, but a lotta times when i hear ages in a book, i understand it, but it doesn't really connect. So i like to go and find other characters and people that are the same age, especially in like movie or shows, where i can look at people that are the same age and go "Holy Shit, they're just babies" or such as the like as that if they're older (Mostly in Alvins case, that man is not as old as a lot of yall probably think he is, or maybe you don't, who am i to say what you do or do not think)
Number 4 is essentially the same thing as number 3 but height related instead. I just like making visual comparisons for a lot of these things, cause it helps put things into perspective, as well as its nice for like drawing and stuff.
This ones just Goofy. I have several sillier ships that ive had over the years, some that just fall into crack ship territory. Some of them i do actually think would be cute/sweet, others are just for the sake of going "Could you fuckin imagine". So im making a poll, much like this one, with a brief explanation, and then yall get to vote on em. I dont know if itll be for the Worst, The best, Which One is y'all's favorite, i dunno, but its gonna be something.
And then the last one i can think of is, i really don't know how to explain it, but it's talking about how, in my opinion, the Vikings view of hiccup is being accurately portrayed? Like, that's a really bad summary, but i can't think of how to explain it better so, this is kind of a vague, mystery option
Anyways, those are the options i got for now
Im probably forgetting something but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Everything'll eventually got done
So with that said

Ladies, Gents and everyone else, my worsah.
Chronicles of Mama Okoye and Riri! XXI
A Modern AU II
“I didn’t think I would ever see her again, Namor! First, I saw her at the grocery store and then at the park. Remember how I was complaining about my supervisor and that I needed to go for a run? The Gods had mercy upon me!”
“If you smile any harder you may rip your face in half, Cousin.”
Attuma tried to school his features before answering, “How do you-” The grin appeared on his face again, “How do you know I’m smiling?”
“I can hear it in your voice. It actually sounds higher pitched when you’re happy. Like a chipmunk. Remember? Alvin and the Chipmunks you loved so much as a child? You reminded me so much of Theodore, though.”
Attuma circled the couch as his cousin rambled, “Do you want to hear the rest of the story or not, Namor?”
“I’m sorry, Cousin. Please, continue.”
“So, at the park, a kid ran onto the pavement and she almost got hit by a cyclist. Luckily, she wasn’t.”
“And here I was thinking you were going to say you saved the child.”
“Can you be quiet while I tell the story?” Attuma scratched his scalp and groaned.
“My apologies.”
“You know that you’re not sorry. Anyway, I grabbed up the kid to make sure no accidents happened. She was so cute and small, Namor and so smiley. I dunno how old she was, but she was walking so I’m assuming around one. Anyway. Almost immediately after, her mother comes shouting after her and takes her from my arms, making sure she was alright.”
Silence enveloped the call.
“Hello?”
“Aren’t you going to ask who the mother was?”
“I am expecting you to tell me, Cousin. Didn't you tell me to be quiet? I am honoring your wishes.”
Attuma wanted to roll his eyes at the smirk he knew that was playing on Namor’s face right now.
“It was Okoye! And the kid was her daughter! Her name is Riri, by the way.”
“So, she has a family now.” Namor hummed.
“A daughter at least. I didn’t see a ring on her finger. Her little sister was there as well, and from what I understand, I don’t think her and Riri’s father are together.”
“What makes you say that?”
Attuma shrugged and picked up his almost-forgotten coffee mug and took a sip from it, “Aneka was making a lot of comments. Remember how much I used to tell you she teased Okoye and I? Well it didn’t seem like she dropped the habit. Plus she can’t whisper for shit and I heard something about ‘You know who’ not doing so well? I don’t know what that means. I can guess the context, though.” His voice dipped and he drank another mouthful of his drink.
“Attuma, are you sure you want to get involved with Okoye again?”
Attuma scrunched his nose, “Why is that even a question? Yea. I still love her. You know this, Namor.”
“Easy now, Attuma. I didn’t mean to offend. I meant no disrespect. I just wanted to make sure. since there’s a child involved. You know that I adore Okoye. I just want to make sure that you’re serious about this.”
Attuma downed the cup, “I am serious. I’m always serious when it comes to her. And her having a child doesn’t bother me. You know that I love kids.”
After his conversation with Namor, Attuma walked to his bedroom. He threw his phone onto the bed and covered his palms over his face, “Okay. I can do this. She’s the same old Okoye. More mature now. Experiences have shaped her. No need to be nervous.”
Attuma sat on his mattress and pulled up her contact. He should have felt foolishly embarrassed for saving her name with a heart emoji next to it. But old habits die hard, he supposed. It was like instinct, regardless of having done it only once before. It felt natural, seeing her name saved like that. It was what he was used to.
He stared at the neon white letters that illuminated his phone screen.
The call button was right there!
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and longingly pressed the phone to his forehead.
Riri had her palms pressed against her mother’s knees, fascinated by the faded scars. She poked and prodded at the skin before looking up at her mother with a smile.
“Riri,” Okoye groaned before taking a stifled breath, “Go outside and see what your Aunty is doing.” Her stomach boiled, which caused her to screw her eyes shut and hang her head.
Riri pressed a kiss to her mother’s head before rubbing it, “Poo-poo bad?”
Okoye loved her daughter. She loved being a mother. She really did. But sometimes she missed having some semblance of privacy. But if she dared to close that door on her babygirl, she’d never hear the end of it. From then until she came out of the bathroom, the house would have been filled with screams and pounding at the door. So she chose the lesser of two evils.
Okoye groaned again which had her daughter affectionately rubbing her leg. Rubbing her brow of sweat, Okoye looked up at her daughter once more, “To think the stink would have sent you running for the hills.”
Riri made a face of concentration before grunting, she then dissolved into laughter.
Okoye squinted her eyes, “Are you making fun of me?”
Riri went into a bout of silent concentration again before she stooped into a squat.
“Are you done?” Okoye tried to touch her but Riri fussed and slapped her hand away, “Okay, that’s a no.”
Once Riri was done, she called for her sister, “Aneka! Could you come get Riri and change her, please?”
The lack of response had her screaming for her sister again, “Aneka!”
“I’m coming! Damn! Who do you take me for?” Aneka grumbled while pushing open the bathroom door, “Bast, Okoye! It’s a shithouse party in here. What did you eat?” She grabbed the air freshener from the counter and sprayed it in Okoye’s direction and into the atmosphere.
“Just take her and change her, please.” She bounced her leg and slid her palms over the back of her neck.
“Riri, come on. Let’s get you changed.” Aneka beckoned her over, but the child refused to move.
Aneka shook her hand and walked further into the bathroom and grabbed up the child. She held her out at arm’s length before walking back to her room, “You think I forgot about what happened last time? You exploded a shit on me so bad the stink refused to come out. You’re getting biohazard treatment.” She made an exaggeratingly disgusted face at the child.
Riri, thoroughly amused by her Aunt’s antics, kicked her dangling feet in the air as she was transported to the bed.
Aneka laid Riri down and ripped her pants off of her, “You remember the rules,” she pointed at her, “No rolling or grabbing your butt or peeing.”
She looked for something to occupy the child and picked up a stuffed Rhino “Here. Play with Thabisa.”
Riri hugged the toy while she was being cleaned up.
“Alright! All clean. You can get kisses now.” Aneka pressed a kiss to Riri’s cheek and Riri hugged her neck in return.
Aneka found herself on a call with a friend while Riri walked about the room. Her mother’s phone, which was charging, caught her attention.
“Girl, you know I’m not scared. I’m just waiting for the right moment is all. What? No. Ayo only has eyes for me. I’m not worried about someone else coming into the picture- Pussy? I’m not a pussy! You’re a pussy. Have you even kissed that guy you’re dating?”
Riri walked back to the bed with her mother’s phone in hand, “Pussy!”
Aneka shot up from her relaxed position and looked at Riri, “No. No! Delete that word from your thoughts.”
Riri took a deep breath, loving the feel of the new word on her tongue, “Puh-see!”
Aneka groaned and shouted into her phone, “You taught my niece a bad word! Okoye is going to have my head.”
Riri held up the phone and did a little dance by swaying side to side, “Pussy. Puh-see!”
Aneka pulled the child onto the bed, “You want to watch Youtube? So you can forget the word? What do you want to watch?”
Riri sat up on all fours, seemingly hypnotized by the familiar red app after her Aunt put in the passcode, “Baby-”
“No! No baby shark. You want to watch Gracie’s Corner?” Aneka pulled up the channel and played a random video for Riri.
Aneka silently stared at her niece for all of fifteen seconds and sighed in relief, “Okay. I think I’m safe.”
Attuma eyeballed his phone as though it was the most offensive thing in the world.
“Just hit the damn call button!” He slapped his thigh to get himself into action. His thumb hovered over the call button before he chickened out. “Oh my gosh.”
Attuma jumped up and took a breath just as his skin prickled and a shiver ran down his spine. He took another deep breath to calm his fluttering heart.
Attuma looked down at the contact again. He closed his eye and hit the call button, “Fuck it.”
The phone rang once before it hung up. He opened a single eyelid and brought the phone to his face, “Did the call drop?”
He dialed again and then the same thing happened. “Is my signal weak?” He walked out of his room and dialed again.
Like clockwork, Riri declined every call that was coming in on her mother’s phone to minimize the interruption of her Youtube watching.
This caught Aneka’s attention. The incessant momentary ring of Okoye’s ringtone starting and stopping had her looking over at Riri. Her eyes widened at Riri hanging up call after call, “Riri!”
She grabbed the phone from her and looked at the caller ID, “You’re hanging up on Attuma! Shame on you for trying to cockblock your Umama!”
Riri started fussing, having the phone confiscated from her so suddenly.
Okoye walked into the bedroom, freshly showered and took in the scene before her.
Her daughter was on the verge of tears, while fussing for her cellphone, Aneka was scolding her in Xhosa as she held said cellphone out of reach, and her phone was barely drowning out the noise.
Aneka saw Okoye in the doorway and rushed to her, shoving the phone in her hand, “Hurry up and answer before Attuma thinks you’re curving him!”
Okoye barely had time to answer, so she missed the call.
Aneka groaned out loud as Riri slid off of the bed and walked over to her mother while giving Aneka the stink eye.
“You almost sabotaged your mother and you’re angry at me?”
Okoye shook her head, “Aneka, stop arguing with Usana.”
Aneka just rolled her eyes and flopped on the bed, “Just hurry up and call back your man.”
“He’s not my man!” Okoye walked out of the room as Riri trailed behind her.
Okoye was going to hit the redial button but Riri, fussing for her attention, had her bending down to pick her up. In the midst of scooping up her baby, Riri’s foot hit the video call button, which had Attuma picking up on the second ring.
“Okoye?”
Okoye had made her way downstairs to the living room while trying to get an excitable Riri to stay put.
Okoye sat down on the couch and tried to get Riri settled. Riri’s wandering hands hit the loud speaker, making it known that Attuma was on the line.
“‘Koye?”
Okoye nearly jumped at the voice and held up her phone to see that it was on video call, “Attuma! Hi! Sorry about that. Riri had my phone and she kept declining the calls.” She chuckled.
“It’s alright. I know how kids can get. I’m guessing she’s there with you right now?”
Okoye grinned, “Yes! The little troublemaker is right here.” On cue, Riri crawled on her mother’s lap to get in on the conversation. She twisted the phone to get a better look at the screen. Her eyes took in the features of the man on screen before her expression lit up in recognition.
“A’Tuna!” She grinned and clapped in excitement.
“You remember me!” Attuma beamed into the camera. “Hi, Riri!” He waved and Riri excitedly waved back.
Okoye pressed a loving kiss to the crown of Riri’s head. The display of affection had Attuma’s chest blooming with warmth.
“How are you, Okoye?”
“I’m fine. And you?” Okoye pulled Riri closer to her chest, but she wiggled out of her mother’s grip, dead set on turning on her mother’s tablet that rested on the coffee table.
“I’ve got nothing to complain about. I’ve been adjusting to my new job. And besides that park, I haven’t really gotten to go sight-seeing.”
“Oh, really? You’re missing out.” She tinkered with a smile.
Attuma laid back on his couch, placing an arm behind his head as a makeshift pillow, “If only there was someone who was well-versed with the area who could show me around town. And hopefully have a fun time with. Do you know anybody?”
Okoye placed a hand over her mouth to stifle her laughs, “Wow. Attuma…”
Attuma used the momentum of her amusement to carry on, “I’d much prefer if your suggestion had the name starting with the letter ‘O’.”
“Attuma. Wasn’t this why you got my number in the first place?”
“Yes. I just wanted to make sure that you’re still all for it, is all.” He tried to feign a careless shrug.
“I’m excited to show you around, anyway. I work from home, so it’s a good way to get out of the house. Riri gets excited when we go outside too, so I make sure to take her out as much as I can.” Okoye tenderly looked over at Riri as she shouted and clapped in excitement when she leveled up in one of the games she had installed for her on the tablet.
Attuma silently sighed in content at Okoye’s distractedly soft expression.
“Is there anything Riri likes in particular?” Attuma found himself asking.
“Hm? Like what?”
“You know, toys and stuff like that. Next time I see her, I don’t want to show up empty-handed. I remembered Aneka’s comment about Riri’s side-eye and I don’t want to be on the receiving end of it.” He joked.
“She really enjoys problem solving games. You should see her little face scrunch up when she’s thinking!” Okoye squinched imaginary cheeks, “And when her face lights up after solving a puzzle it’s absolutely heartstopping. I’ll never forget the first time she matched the right shape to the corresponding hole. She did the adorable baby dance, my heart couldn’t take it!” Okoye held her heart and fell into the backrest of the couch.
Attuma had to pinch himself from grinning too hard, “Now I know what to get her!”
Just then, Riri ran back into frame, tablet in hand. She climbed onto the couch and pressed a kiss to her mother’s lips before licking them.
“Ah! Riri!” Okoye sputtered before wiping her mouth. Riri pressed a kiss to her mother’s face before licking it again. Okoye pulled her into her lap and looked at the camera.
“I don’t know why, but she’s recently taken up the habit of licking me.” Okoye tickled her daughter’s sides which had her wiggling in her grip.
Attuma found himself laughing along with Riri as her laughter was so infectious, “I find it so adorable that she’s so affectionate.”
“I wouldn’t have it any other way, honestly.”
Attuma stretched, wanting to set things in motion, “So, how does Saturday sound?”
“It sounds perfect, actually.” Okoye concurred.
“Okay, then I’ll make sure to show you a good time.” He gave a lopsided smile.
“I thought I was supposed to show you a good time?” Her tone was teasing.
“As long as we enjoy ourselves, Koko.” Attuma chimed.
Okoye absentmindedly stroked Riri’s hair while staring at Attuma, “I don’t doubt that we will.”

Tumblr media
weekly tag game! It's Thursday though, hope that's ok. Thanks for the tag @deedala and @michellemisfit! I love doing these!
which character from any media would you like to have as a father?: Craig T Nelson in the movie The Family Stone. That's such a good movie and he's a great dad. Also he's age appropriate since I am old.
if money, laws, time, and effort were no object, what animal would you want to have?: Another dog would be fun. Someday I want another rescue pit mix to keep Alvin company. Only a girl we can name Darla (my daughter's choice)
what is your Chinese takeout order?: ooooh crab rangoon and maybe general tso chicken with fried rice. I haven't had Chinese food in a long time.
what's your favourite emoji?: I'm on the computer and can't do it, but I overuse the hell out of the cry-laugh emoji.
would you rather have a library, greenhouse, or home theater in your house?: a greenhouse would be amazing just to be in, the plants and the filtered light, just so cheerful on a colder day.
what childhood tv show do you think of the most fondly? oh gosh, maybe little house on the prairie? I was obsessed with the books and the show looked 0% like Minnesota and Wisconsin but I still loved it.
what was your tumblr like when you first joined?: I only joined so I could look at shameless stuff. it was 2013. I didn't really know what to do with it for a long time. Then I got super active and then walked away. Now I'm back!
what clothing style do you love but don't feel compelled to replicate yourself?: Gosh I feel like I'm too old to pull off any style anymore, but I love the 70s-90s punk aesthetic and cottage core, to go two completely different directions.
if you were plopped into a fictional world, which one would you know the layout of the best?: Does it have to be a whole other world like not a real place? Because I have no idea.
what is your favourite piece of art?: Christina's World by Andrew Wyeth (pictured above) I also really love Whistler.
do you have a water bottle? what does it look like?: Olive green with stickers but it leaks so I don't take it anywhere, just use at home, but only sometimes.
what fanfic trope is a quiet fave? I'm not quiet about anything in life haha
do you carry a daily bag? what does it look like? what's the weirdest thing in it?: Lightish brown leather crossbody from Madewell that I got from a friend. I love it so much. The weirdest thing is maybe an epi pen. My son is super duper allergic to bees.
If you had to ship Mickey with another Gallagher, who would it be?: Oh god, WHAT? No. But fine. Lip I guess.
what is a fanfic trope you didn't expect to like and then very much did?: maybe a/b/o?
Do you think s11 Mickey can still carry s11 Ian?: Ian got so gloriously beefy in S11 but Mickey is ripped and anyway he would never admit he couldn't carry him. He could get a slipped disc or hernia and he'd still try and walk it off.
who got custody of the killing bat when they sold the house?: Carl and Debbie fought over it, but Liam took it while no one was looking. @silvanshadow @juliakayyy @francesrose3 and @gallawitchxx join in if you haven't already!

Do you think we can renew and make covenants personally, as in inactive but faithful disciple? I have an intense to desire to do so, but have no plans to return to church at least for a long while.
You ask a question for which I don't know the answer.
I want to remind you that we believe there are multiple paths back to God. Here's two examples:
Joseph Smith saw in vision the Celestial Kingdom, and saw that his brother Alvin was there. Alvin died before the restored church was established. Alvin didn't make covenants, but his desires were enough.
I also think of young children who die. We believe they are saved even though they don't make covenants.
I can't help but think God takes into account our personal circumstances. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints isn't yet a good place for queer people. In fact, most faithful queer people can't complete the 'covenant path' because the church won't seal our marriages, which means we are not eligible to be exalted.
Does God seem like the kind who would create people a certain way which pretty much disqualifies them from exaltation? Or would God prepare another way for them? It's something to think about.

I'm watching ben shapiro's review of the barbie movie because I am a masochist and good god that guy does not understand nuance at All
I'm gonna write my thoughts down here because I need to scream into the void about this
he thinks this movie was made for mothers and their 7yo daughters
"The message of the movie is that to avoid oppression men and women should ignore each other" "The point of the film is that matriarchy is amazing"
It appears he's suffering from chronic cinemasins disorder because he keeps saying things like "barbie knowing what a fascist is is inconsistent with her character" and "why would the kens vote to change the constitution? what is the ken to barbie ratio in this world?"
The movie says that playing with baby dolls can be fun for a while but it can get boring and he takes it as "they think baby dolls are bad and being a mother sucks" because nuance is not a thing in this man's mind
"There's a trans barbie who's voice is deeper than my own" says Alvin the transphobic chipmunk
Ben also thinks that the creators of the movie hate barbie despite the fact that the movie spends its whole first act in a lovingly crafted barbie dreamland and throws incredible amounts of barbie trivia at you
"the movie takes itself too seriously" a major plot point is Ken thinking that patriarchy means everything is run by men and HORSES
for some reasons a lot of his jokes involve him going "oooh ahhhh" to accentuate his sarcasm so like 15% of his criticisms are just weird noises
He makes fun of the smallpox joke. Congratulations ben you have made one valid criticism
"The movie claims that the men run everything yet this movie has a lot of famous women working on it. Curious"
He is So hung up on the gynecologist line good god. he thinks it means that being a woman is just having a vagina despite the fact that none of the other barbies have one and it's still clear they're meant to at least represent women
In conclusion, do not watch ben shapiro

4 and 14 for Maedhros? 😇
4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in? Hmm, this is an interesting question. He would do well in so many different places and times, so I suppose the question is which other media would I want to put him in. My first thought was Narnia, but I'm not sure that he belongs there. Oh wait, I know: he would do well in the book series How to Train Your Dragon. He would probably adopt Hiccup, Camicazi, and Fishlegs, and his skills as a general and warrior would be invaluable to those three. And maybe they would be good for him and bring some healing. Also, I would enjoy seeing Alvin and his mother meet Maedhros, who has stood up to and remained unbroken by literal gods. They would have no idea what hit them! And Hiccup could go through a lot less pain too. (And yes Maglor is going with Maedhros - I'm not going to be responsible for Maedhros tearing a hole through the fourth wall to get back to his brother if we separate them.)
14. Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character. I think Maedhros is generally (not addressing ptsd post-Thangorodrim) rather aware of how his clothes present himself and that he cares about and dresses more for practicality and how he needs to look than any aesthetic or fashion related reasons. That said, when he has a choice, I also headcanon that he tends to prefer simpler, comfortable clothes that look well enough and can handle the day to day stresses of his life. Functionality, practicality, ease of movement, durability, and comfort are what I think he values most in clothes, though he bears in mind how he wishes to present himself, and may sacrifice some comfortableness or other factors in favor of presentation, if necessary. Regarding color, I think that depends upon the occasion. I do associate him very closely with red (who doesn't XD), but nothing much brighter than rich, jewel tones. And I think richly colored clothing would be reserved for official matters, with more grays, browns, duller reds, and muted colors for everyday wear.

Burrow's End Episode 2 Reactions!
Ok so I watched this spread out over last night and this morning and now I'm in a Great mood for class! This episode was so good though. Really really truly this is wonderful and I love this season.
She thought they would have greater numbers?? Aabria you’re the one who wrote it what do you mean
Erika’s character look is so cool
Electricity?
That is what mothers are like yeah.
I don’t know about every stoat in the world being able to harness lightning magic but sure okay
This line of thinking from Tula feels very in line with what Brennan’s talked about in the past of it always being valuable for someone to have basic needs in mind, and it making everything easier and more enjoyable when those things are considered first.
Oooh paladin things!
This season is going to fuck me up incredibly badly and it’s not even going to be the sad shit it’s just going to be the parent/child interactions.
It hurts to be awake because it’s all I ever think about and there are no answers. So real.
Ava is so good to watch
Every time it cuts to Erika-
Ugh I love dnd so much
Every time Brennan gets a nat1 he kind of hides behind it lol
Tula has a -1 to arcana???
Love to see the weird british things counter return

Ok oh my gif the threatening energy in “Oh, you didn’t beat me.”
WHAT THE FUCK OH MY GOD WHAT I HATE THAT WHAT
I hate it I hate it I hate it no god please no
ON THE DOME TOO??
Izzy is so right about the magic school bus thing
My soul shoots straight out of my ass, into hell. 🙂.
This is so unpleasant to look at
This does not feel proportional but it’s fine this is fine
HOW IS THIS BEAR ALIVE
Erika is so good at being The Old Lady
Be better!!
So help me I will turn this bear around!
Oh my god
I get that the heart beating is important to convey that the bear is still alive but jesus
There’s literally enough bear already.
Parasitic chipmunks nesting inside a bear. Good lord.
God I keep looking at the projection. That’s so unsettling.
Bad! This feels bad!
Oh my GOD
What oh god please no
What a brilliant episode to be watching while I have breakfast
I’m so curious if the bear’s actions are legendary actions or lair actions
Oh that was such a new york mother voice
That was literally a commercial break. The Iyengar-Mulligan bit. That was a comic relief commercial break
Horrible!!!
Eraser destroying power couple lmao
Like a stoat!
As an experienced babysitter I can confirm. Eight year olds are strong and it is because they don’t know they are. Being punched by an eight year old fucking hurts.
They’re taking the Alvin thing so far and it’s incredible
Ava WHAT are you doing
Oh I had a physical reaction to that. That was so unpleasant.
You think you’ve got this (threatening)
(Aabria laughs at the nerve of this play)
I love seeing my own table dynamics reflected in others. Because this wild swinging from hysterical laughter to jaw dropping horror is exactly what happened literally four days ago in my current game.
If your spine isn’t working store bought is fine
I dislike this strongly
She’s in the medulla oblongata! (Mentopolis)
FUCK YEAH LILA
Oh my god Aabria
Terrifying right now but like I’m a fun way
Just a lil blood soaked guy
I really appreciate how Aabria always mentions who’s up next so they can prep
I love doing things that potentially have great consequences just to see what it would do.
Oh we’re in blue again ok
What a wild thing to be happening right now
Oh good god
Do NOT eat it
What oh god what the fuck are you doing
MID COMBAT LEVEL UP???
Oh ok.
No I don’t believe that they’re dead- well, they don’t look great…
Pick your one favorite organ
The devil inside my child’s head!
Level up eyyy
What a visual
And also to you :)
Oh my god
Ok! What a time. Wow.

cabin crew hearing the funniest joke they ever heard? (which is.. idk)
oh my god lol okay okay ima write the joke itself and ALSO their reaction.
Luke: "What do you call a fish without eyes? Fsh." Luke burst out laughing, rubbing his eyes in disappointment. He couldn't believe he was laughing this hard at a joke that stupid. "Oh my God," he wheezed out, clutching his stomach. "That's so stupid." He managed out through more bouts of laughter.
Nick: *insert a meme about depression here* Nick threw his head back, laughing erupting from his belly. It was rare to get Nick in such a good mood, and whatever he had been browsing through. "Luke, check this out," he said, passing his phone to his friend. Luke raised an eyebrow, confused at his humour, and it sent Nick into a laughing spiral again.
Pete: "Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field." Pete paused and smirked As he began to laugh, it gradually grew louder and louder. Luke and Nick glanced at each other, stunned that such a simple joke cracked him up as much as it did. Classic Dad joke kind guy.
Rebecca: “That’s a nice ham you got there. Be a shame if someone put an ’s’ in front of it and an ‘e’ behind it.” Rebecca smirked, giggling, then chuckling, then laughing. Alvin smiled at her, loving the sound. He'd always loved that sound. "That is the stupidest thing," she said, waving a hand in front of her face as her laughter continued, trying to compose herself.
Alvin: "What’s brown and sticky? A stick." Alvin burst into laughter, unable to stop the noise from leaving his mouth. He put a hand over his chest, chuckling. He coughed slightly - all of the wind left his lungs from laughing so hard - and then sighed. "Now that was a good one."
Carlos: "Why can’t a nose be 12 inches long? Then it’d be a foot." Carlos hesitated, raising an eyebrow. He didn't understand it, but the more he thought about it, a smirk began to form. Finally, he began to laugh, gradually clutching his stomach. "Wow," he said through a sigh. "Thought you'd like that one, doc." Luke said with a grin.
Sarah: "Why does a chicken coop only have two doors? If it had four, it would be called a sedan." At first, she didn't get it. Her father needed to whisper in her ear a brief explanation. She laughed faintly out of courtesy, but it wasn't until half an hour later did she gradually begin to giggle louder and louder. She was laughing so hard she couldn't breathe or speak. Carlos hadn't seen her that happy in ages. He smiled, basking in the sound of her joy.

Hey, so what were your immediate thoughts when you realised just what it was Alvin was saying about the lobster claws, what that implied? And also remembering that Fishlegs was within earshot, and him realising what it indicated at the same time the reader was realising?
Alright so, answer under the line or whatever.
I would like to clarify that I spoiled myself already by looking through the httyd books tag and already knew that Alvin was Fishlegs dad. HOWEVER!!
THE LOBSTER CLAW NECKLACE?! THREW ME FOR A GOD DAMN LOOP!! Like at first when I heard Fishlegs had a lobster claw necklace in the first book I’m like, alright neat that’s a cool and distinct physical characteristic for Fishlegs. Glasses and lobster claw necklace. BUT THEN MORE HAPPENED!!
I DIDN’T KNOW IT WAS GOING TO BE A GOD DAMN PLOT POINT?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS A PLOT POINT?!
I THOUGHT THE FAKE DRAGON JEWEL WAS THE REAL ONE! AND THEN WHEN ITS REVEALED IT IS IN FACT
FAKE?!
I was holding onto my chops my guy! I was wondering where TF the real dragon jewel was. And fuckin WODENSFANG KNEW it was FAKE?!
Granted you gotta give him props for going through with a promise, so like, no disrespect to Wodensfang. He’s also old as shit but we don’t talk about that-
I think I got sidetracked here. But! My reaction to realizing that Alvin had the lobster claw necklace? And then??? Gave it away??? Cause he thought “the fuck is this trash doing in this grave????”
Called him a bitch and laughed in his face at his pure stupidity. I was chanting for Fishlegs to kill Alvin when they fought. Sad Fishlegs didn’t but, proud of him still, he did the good and right thing to do in that moment.
