#has a very hard time accepting a twin separation

[3lectricinsomnia]

every headcanon you possibly have about two? i am so normal about him

Ooh, the biggest one I can think of rn is when they were younger, Two really looked up to One. You can read more about that here :)

Ummmmm, some other ones: Two picks up a smoking habit, he's more prone to being allergic to stuff because of all the substances he puts in his body because he was trying to fix himself, he's more prone to getting sick for the same reason, ofc the headcanons revolving around his fondness for plants and insects (he's most definitely built little teeny tiny houses for his bugs).

This one kind of goes for both of them. I don't remember if I talked about it before or not so I'll just talk about it again. When they were younger, the twins had a really hard time sleeping separately. Even though they had separate rooms and Draxum expected them to sleep in their own rooms, they couldn't sleep alone so they wind up sharing a room and it's a habit that sticks with them well up until Smart Lair. So now that One is gone, Two has a lot more trouble sleeping and puts more focus into work.

There's another thing here (towards the end) that explains the difference between One and Two's morals. If you don't want to look for it, I'll just copy and paste it here:

(One) At a certain age, Draxum started pulling One away for “special” training, which was basically Drax getting One to get used to taking lives, starting with small animals. At first, One had a really hard time pushing through and whenever he finally got the job done, he’d feel really guilty afterwards

He’d cry and Drax would ask him why and would say that crying about it is pointless and it won't help him.

I had this very specific idea of Draxum pulling One away from Two when they were playing + having fun then having One accomplish this task probably for the 2nd or third time and One coming back to Two covered in blood, absolutely numbed and hollow, which kind of puts a wedge between them.

By the time Draxum puts One in the nexus, One’s already sorta used to that feeling and it’s not such a big deal— but I was thinking the nexus is maybe what makes One think that killing is acceptable because when he kills he gets rewarded and maybe it’s also what makes him realize what his purpose is— and ofc Draxum’s already been feeding him that but when One is fighting in the arena, he actually gets what Draxum means ab their purpose or whatever about being warriors and stuff bc he knows he can fight and that he can kill and that he’s good at it and that’s what makes Draxum happy

and I just think this is very interesting bc this implies that, initially, One knew what he was doing was morally wrong and he could feel it but bc he was encouraged to kill and wasn’t punished for it, his viewpoint kinda got skewed

(Two) And in Two's case, he started to kill either after One fights in the nexus or he sees One kill one of the animals bc he sees his brother doing this and thinks “oh, yeah. I can do that” but because he wasn’t taught the difference between what he should destroy and what he should protect, that’s kind of why he’s Like That. And it's why Draxum fears/doesn't trust him like he trusts One.

That's all I can think of for now but if I have more, I'll reblog this

I've actually been wondering something. How are birthdays with each brother? I assume Leo and Donnie don't get to celebrate theirs but I wonder if Mikey gets to celebrate his at all. Does Raph celebrate his alone or does Splinter also celebrate the other's as if they were there?

Yeah Leo and Donnie don’t really do birthdays until everyone reunites, and then they kinda just decide to share a birthday after all the jokes about them being twins.

Big Mama picked the day she found Mikey for his birthday and they always celebrated with a huge party, where Mikey had to dress in uncomfortable, itchy clothes and it was never really much fun, but at least he got cake. Splinter goes all out for Raph’s birthday, he makes yakiniku, mochi and a cake, and after they meet April, she’s always invited. After they get separated, the days of Leo and Mikey’s birthdays were a pretty solemn affair, and usually Splinter wouldn’t get up and out of bed until noon, and hobbled together a late breakfast for him and Raph. Splinter builds a small shrine in the dojo for both of the boys, and he and Raph spend some time in there, before choosing some sort of quiet activity where they can just sit together and maybe as Raph gets older, reminisce.

After they reunite, birthdays are insane. And the boys, Splinter and April spend all day together before crashing in a food coma.

When they first meet, Draxum has already briefed Three on Two’s involvement with the Shredder. Draxum was pretty shocked when he first discovered Two’s location after all these years, but he hid it well and ordered Three not to mention it outright. Instead he wanted Three to try and gauge how deep Two’s loyalty to the foot clan ran. In the year between them first meeting and Leo dissenting they probably only had the chance to interact five or six times, as Draxum’s dealings with Shredder were short, to the point meetings, every few months. But Three couldn’t help in the few times they did chat, to drive Leo crazy with how much he talked. So they didn’t really have a relationship, even with Three grabbing any connection he could and holding onto it for dear life. Leo saw their conversations as nothing more than Three rambling nonsensically, while he stood guard and tuned it out.

Before leaving the foot clan, Leo’s personality is pretty non-existent. He did what he was told and was just as ruthlessly efficient as his master. After rejoining his brothers he works on opening up, but it’s hard for him. Leo’s a pretty disciplined person, and the lair is pure chaos even before they bring Donnie home, so Leo’s often losing his cool over the smallest of things being out of order. He’s not used to the freedom, and it makes him uneasy and irritated constantly, which he, unfortunately, tends to take out on his bros and Splinter.

Leo’s attitude towards Three shifts somewhat, when he discovers who he really is, and Leo happens to be the biggest factor in bringing Donnie home for good. Add in the fact that he’s the only one Donnie has a previous link to, and it makes sense that he would gravitate to Leo the most. But it’s still very awkward because Leo just doesn’t know how to handle such an intense level of attention. Leo does try though—he likes being a big brother to Mikey, and is fine accepting the twin idea as long as it’s clear that he’s the older one. But their relationship doesn’t solidify until Leo messes up his sleep schedule and for lack of anything more entertaining, decides to spends his nights in the Donnie’s lab, watching his brother work. Sometimes they talk, and sometimes it’s just Donnie tinkering, but it breaks that awkwardness and gives them enough opportunity to be more real with each other. Eventually they get to a point where they can tease, and drive each other crazy in the same brotherly way they do in the show.

Also I just hit 5000 followers!! I just wanna reiterate how awesome this fandom is and how much I love y’all!!

Lifetimes

Immortal!FemYuu and Grim

Notes:I just want to write about my baby

Yuu stroked Grim's back as he purred in his sleep. It must have been hard, to be separated for so long.

"Don't worry, I'm here now." She whispered, Grim's ear flicked in response from the noise.

Yuu felt that same old melancholy that seeps into her chest and unto her old bones. Their body was new, they always were but she herself wasn't. How many years and reincarnations had it been?

Grim never remembered those lives but he was always there.

Yuu remembered their first. She was the daughter of the prime minister in the land of the far east. She was going to marry the emperor but escaped only to be captured by the Mongolians. She fell in love with their leader and they were married. She had been pregnant when they were invaded but once again she survived by being taken back to her family in the empire.

The child was born but not accepted. Her father tried to marry her off again but she once again refused because she was already married and her husband would come back. Those years were hard and all she had was Biao-Lei.

"That was your name back then."Yuu whispered scratching behind Grim's ear "Yep, that was you. I called you, great and powerful tiger."

Biao-Lei grew up despite the mistreatment he faced from his mother's family and believed that one day his father would come back. But that day never came but the day did come when the emperor discovered them. Yuu rejected the emperor who wanted her for his harem and in anger had her son's head cut off because she had made him a cuckold by bearing another man's child.

That anger and despair drove her mad and after joining the herem she plotted to kill the emperor who foolishly believed she could love after that. She took her own life when the deed was done. All she wanted was a life with her family.

It was a hard life but the others weren't any easier. It was divine punishment or perhaps it was a second chance.

"The next life you were an orphan and I was a nun. You became a priest if you'll believe it. I died just before you became an adult. It was a tuberculosis outbreak. I'm glad you didn't get it."

"We were twins in another life and came from wealth. You were sent off to be a knight and I was trained to be a lady. I hated it. I ran off to work in the mage tower. I was very wayward in that life. Felt trapped after a few bad ones. You nagged me all the time. Don't worry I got you back in another life when you did the same thing. You became a master mage though while I got stuck on the throne." Yuu laughed.

But the next life didn't end happily. They were children 12 and 8. Grim was her little brother who left his scarf over the heater and the house caught fire. Yuu did everything she could to get them out but realized that their time was up yet again. She held him as the fire stripped them of oxygen. She hold him over ad over that everything would be okay before they passed out. And it was over again.

There were lifetimes when they never met. Each living their own life or dying before meeting.

They were a teacher and a student, a knight giving herself for her master's life, a queen and prince, beggar children, a fawn and doe, hunters, and childhood friends.

She had lived so much and given up so much to keep doing it. She was thankful for every life. She could watch over her son like she wanted. She never regretted it. Not for a moment.

He's a bit rude now and has a body of a cat but it's still him. She'd find a spell to turn him human. She's sure of it.

introducing octavia

Octavia Wren Hughes was born September 9, 2003 she was born first and 8 minutes later Luke was born.

Octavia never once played on a girls hockey team growing up as Luke and her did not want to be on separate teams so Ellen had Octavia join the boys team and she never left.

Octavia has always enjoyed anything with art and from a young age anyone could tell the talent she had with painting, it became a passion that she loved almost as much as hockey.

2021 was the year that Octavia and Luke were drafted in the NHL, the day they dreamed of but also dreaded because they knew their was like a 4% percent chance they got on the same team, meaning they would have to be apart.

Octavia Wren Hughes was drafted the second overall pick of the 2021 NHL Draft to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Luke Warren Hughes was drafted fourth overall of the 2021 NHL Draft to the New Jersey Devils.

Octavia committed to the University of Michigan with Luke, no one in the family knowing she denied the offer to join the Maple Leafs right away wanting one more year with her twin.

Octavia spend the year of collage enjoying as many moments with her twin brother knowing it was most likely the last time they ever play on the same team.

Octavia and Luke have always been attached at the hip, and most of the times just look at each other and understand what the other wants or is saying.

Octavia is the most similar to Jack, she got a lot of his sass and they share a lot of the same play style on the ice. The two tease each other the most and love to compete against each other.

Quinn has always been a good grounding place for Octavia, Octavia always felt like Quinn always understood all of his siblings extremely well and always knew what to do and say.

Quinn is the person Octavia looks up to the most and is always trying to make proud, seeing how much Quinn has accomplished from his hard work and seeing how Quinn deserves all his success.

Octavia went to the 2021 WJC without Luke as he was injured and her parents couldn’t come because of Covid so it was just her. The team had a hotel next to the rink so she could walk there. The first night she couldn’t sleep so she walked to the rink and scanned her pass and went to go onto the ice when she noticed someone else on the ice and that’s where she met Simon Nemec. The two got to know each other well as they spent almost every night on the ice playing hockey together while talking.

When she got drafted her phone blew up from phone calls and messages from the Leafs team, they were all very accepting and excited for her to join the team.

When Octavia joined the team for the first time she fit in extremely well, The whole team loved her and her sarcastic comments and she just fit with the team very well.

Octavia was reminded a lot of Jack when she met Mitch and she never minded listening to Mitch talk for a long time, most of people couldn’t ever stand listening to someone they long and Mitch really appreciated it.

Octavia loves dogs she always has, and when she went to her first team party seeing four dogs there, she was so happy and the team quickly realized how much she loved dogs as she sat with the dogs all night playing with them.

Octavia has a personality that is very different than Jospeh and it surprises everyone when they saw how close the rookie got with the goalie.

Octavia and Matthew got extremely close as they were in the same draft class, the tow went to the developmental camp together and we’re roommates so they because fast friends.

The team noticed that she sometimes just looks sad and then noticed how happy she was to talk about her brothers especially Luke, or when she is on call with Luke how happy she looked with her twin, they realized she was missing her twin brother a lot.

When Octavia moved to Toronto and the days she had some free time she would go to places she went to as a kid, and sometimes would go the outside rink that was Luke’s favorite to feel a little closer to him.

Octavia has never been a fan of shopping like her mother has, so a lot of them Ellen will just buy stuff for Octavia to wear, but Octavia has always loved leather jackets and sneakers and her closets are mostly leather jackets and sneakers.

Octavia has always loved tattoos and when she turned old enough she slowly started to get small and easy to hide tattoos. Her first tattoo was a number she got on the inside of her wrist that is usally covered by her bracelets but she got a 6, as her whole family has all played with number 6 and there is six of them.

When it comes to twincest and their relationship, Jaime Lannister is the victim. Cersei Lannister is an abuser. Mutual abuse doesn’t exist.

I had both a tumblr interaction and I saw a Reddit post on r/asoiaf mainly talking about the sane thing. How Jaime was toxic to Cersei and that the relationship was mutually abusive. In the Reddit post specifically, they talk about how Jaime r*aped Cersei by coercion because of an specific quote of hers where she thinks of him (with a smile) when another character mentions a situation where she felt like she couldn’t say no and asks Cersei if she ever lived the same.

So I decided to write this down because much like @ginmo did once, it’s absolutely infuriating that in the year of 2023, we have such a hard time identifying a male victim of abuse.

I’m gonna use the old “reverse the genders” argument here because unlike most cases, I think this is one of the rare situations where it can be applied, because even though Jaime and Cersei live in a very patriarchal society and he is a man, he is in a rare position where he doesn’t hold power over her in terms of their social hierarchy and overall relationship dynamic. Thats not to say that a man can’t be a victim of abuse even in a patriarchal society where the social structure favors him to be the one in power. Because while misogyny and male privilege is often tied with domestic violence, and used as tools to abuse female victims, they aren’t necessarily fundamental for abuse to happen. And reversing the roles in this particular situation is interesting because it shows how much gender bias blinds people to the obviousness of their dynamic. As if a veil is lifted and you see what would be so easily identified if Jaime had been a woman and Cersei, a man. So let’s do that, lets reverse their roles.

Here are the Lannister twins. From an early age, they engaged in sexual interactions. One of the twins, the boy, from an early age impressed upon the other twin, the girl, that they belong together, are one soul in two bodies, they were born together so they will die together, that they are soulmates and actually one person. The girl of course, buys into all of that. This same twin, the boy, from an early age shows not only a dominant personality but also actions that speak of a flawed character. This twin brother sexually/physically assaulted their other sibling once for example (by twisting his penis when he was a baby). This twin brother, by age 12, murders his best friend because said best friend showed an interest in his twin sister. This twin brother seduces and manipulates his twin sister by spending an entire night having sex with his sister for the first time when they are teens, not allowing her to sleep properly the entire night so they have sex, while talking about how they will be separated forever if the twin sister doesn’t accept what he’s proposing, that is a small price to pay and his twin sister needs to agree in giving up her birthright so she can take a role where she will lose everything she was supposed to become (a mother, a wife and the lady of her house) so she can stay beside him forever in court. Like that, the twin sister will only ever be with him, no one else. All of that while the twin brother had always intended on actually marrying someone else, someone this twin brother has actually desired his entire life since he was young, even though said twin brother couldn’t stand the thought of someone wanting his twin sister (again, murdered his best friend because of that). And the only reason the twin brother didn’t marry the one he wanted was because they died. And in this whole scenario, the twin sister has no idea about these thoughts and feelings of his twin brother, she truly believes they are soulmates and love each other in a way they can’t be apart, she fully believes in everything her twin brother has said about them being one soul in two bodies etc etc.

The years pass, they carry on with their affair, the twin brother withholds and uses sex/affection as punishment/reward against his twin sister, establishes a dynamic where it must be always the twin sister coming to him, he will never do the same, actually gets off on the idea of his twin sister being so irresistibly attracted to him that she can’t take no for an answer and liked the power play this gives him. The twin brother was also frequently physically abusive towards the twin sisters, which she was used to and managed to diffuse the situation by turning the slaps she received into them having sex. Later in the story, when both twins have committed horrible horrible crimes for each other, with the twin sister going as far as almost killing a child to protect the twin brother, among other terrible stuff, the twin sister starts to show some personal growth after going through some hard times and becoming disabled. The twin brother insults the twin sister physically and verbally, and often actually assaults her physically by slapping her when she doesn’t agree with him or accepts doing something for him. The twin sister then finds out that the twin brother has actually lied to her, he has slept with other people many times even though he didn’t actually need it (he had other ways of making those people do his biding because of the position he holds in their social hierarchy), but he has done that anyway and lied to his twin sister about it, pretending that outside of a marriage he was forced to enter he had never been with anyone else outside his twin sister.

Are you gonna tell me this is a relationship where both parties hold equal power? Are you gonna tell me the twin sister is as much at fault as the twin brother? Because whoever says yes is absolutely lying, don’t even bother. And if you are honest with yourself and recognizes that no, you don’t think that and actually sees how the twin sister is clearly being abused, how is that different then when you reverse them to their original genders? Because I haven’t added anything there that is not present in their canon relationship. Notice I have addressed the privileges/lack of that come with their respective positions (the twin sister inheriting her house seat/ the twin brother forced into a marriage he doesn’t want). That the twin sister is often the one seeking the twin brother and not accepting a no from the twin brother. So if you can see this relationship for what it is when the genders are switched, how can you not do the same for a male victim?

Now something else to consider: There’s a big difference between toxic relationships vs abusive relationships. And a difference between a toxic person vs an abusive one. Not all toxic relationships are abusive; however, all abusive relationships can be considered toxic. In a toxic relationship, there is usually a lack of respect and a violation of boundaries. But this behavior occurs without the person or people involved even realizing they're doing it. They normalized it. They aren’t trying to control their partner.

Usually, every victim in an abusive relationship is a toxic person. Tbh, is almost impossible to survive an abusive relationship without becoming toxic yourself and engaging in toxic behavior. But that doesn’t mean the person is abusive, because a key element is missing: they aren’t intentionally doing that to exert control over the other party in the relationship.

All of this is to say: I honestly cannot understand how people have such a hard time understanding that, within the dynamics of Cersei and Jaime, she is the abuser. Mutual abuse doesn’t exist. Abuse is about an imbalance of power and control.

They are both incredible toxic people, there’s no denying that. Possessive, jealous, engaged in some dubious sexual dynamic, violent… all of this. But only one of them tries to exert control over the other. Only one of them intentionally tries to dictate how the other should behave and intentionally harm the other when they don’t conform to what they want. Only one of them displays a pattern of behaviors used to gain or maintain power and control.

This is not to say Jaime is a wonderful angel who has never done anything wrong in his life. Is just to say that, within his relationship with Cersei, Jaime is the victim. He’s just not a perfect one.

So, no, I don’t think Jaime r*ped Cersei by coercing her into sex because their pre established dynamic within their relationship is so incredibly disturbing and toxic that Jaime coming to her, asking and begging and ultimately not accepting being denied is actually something that Cersei likes, and is used as a power play where she can exert control and dominate him. No, I don’t think Jaime and Cersei are mutually abusive because this doesn’t exist and even if it did, he is not the one trying to exert control towards her.

Jaime Lannister is a toxic person. Jaime Lannister is a victim of abuse. Cersei Lannister is an abuser. Period.

Since you haven't yet, could you please tell us your thoughts about the recent interview with Ai? After all, it seems to reveal a lot of interesting things about her.

For those who haven't read it yet, this is referring to the four-page in character interview with Ai that was published in the January 2024 issue of Da Vinci magazine!

Off the bat, it was really interesting to get such a direct and length look at Ai's public persona as it exists in OnK. Ironically enough, despite so much of the series being about people who are unable to get past her 'Ai of B-Komachi' mask, we actually don't get a ton of time spent with it as readers — we mostly see Ai in her private life, with Saitou, Miyako and the twins, where she is considerably more unfiltered and explicitly not on the job and we even get peeks directly into her POV from our perspective as out-of-universe observers. In fact, apart from the Da Vinci interview, the only other time we see Ai 'on the job' to this degree is a really quick exchange she has with a TV presenter just before her first post-hiatus performance. So it was really interesting to chew on!

The thing that stands out to me most from the interview is kind of a confirmation of something I've been saying for a long time — which is that Ai is a lot more honest than a lot of people (both in universe and in the fandom!) give her credit for. A lot of her answers are surprisingly frank and in line with what we know to be her true feelings and her more honest way of expressing herself elsewhere. Don't get me wrong, she's absolutely full of shit in plenty of spots here (EL OH EL ABOUT B-KOMACHI'S 'IRREPLACEABLE BOND') and her answers are still very polished and pretty, but there's a lot more of Ai herself here than I think even she herself would want to acknowledge.

This matches up with how Ai describes herself in 45510 — that, even though she's afraid of opening up, she does want people to know her as she really is and to accept her as such. It's interesting to see that expressed, even indirectly, through the interview like this.

It was also super cool to see a lot of my more incidental headcanons/personal interpretations confirmed! In particular, seeing Ai talk about Kana so warmly got me really excited. I'd always liked to imagine that she felt pretty fondly towards Kana and that she admired her hard work and dedication at such a young age so seeing Ai talking about her so effusively was really cute.

Less sweet was the confirmation that Ai's shitty home life in Ayumi's house stretched way back prior to Ayumi beginning to physically abuse her. Reading Ai calling herself a 'nasty brat' (almost definitely her mom's words) and then talking about her feeling so unwelcome at home that she'd sneak out of the house in the dead of night and wander around near the traintracks, daydreaming about being able to run away… it pains a really horrible image of what growing up in that house must have been like.

Speaking of parents, though… uh, wow, holy shit, Ai's dad! This is the only direct mention of him we've ever gotten and it definitely raises more questions than it answers. Prior to this, he'd been such a non-entity in Ai's life that I just kind of assumed he'd either passed away when she was very young or that he'd never been involved in her life — Ayumi is consistently referred to as her only parent to the point that, once she's out of the picture, Ai's only other option for stable family is, specifically, her mother's relatives. The idea of Ai being cared for by her dad or his side of the family is just never addressed as a possibility, so it's clear that past a certain point he was unable or unwilling to care for her.

The Da Vinci interview does imply she saw him occasionally — she describes their shopping trips as something that 'didn't happen often' — which supports the idea that he and Ayumi divorced or separated when Ai was quite young and he wasn't really involved in her life. It's honestly kind of depressing that he's the center of her happy childhood memory because like… man, it really says something about how abjectly unrelentingly dogshit her life was that "my dad sometimes took me to the grocery store" was happy enough in comparison to everything else in her life that she thought of it as a cherished memory.

Overall, the Da Vinci interview was a really nice surprise! We don't really get a lot of additional info about Ai from that time period specifically — a lot of the new reveals about her as a character tend to come from periods of her life prior to the timeline of the story, so getting a little extra peek into her final days really was a treat.

some rambles on my takes on the acachallas <333

papa acachalla is very much a tired dad who doesn’t really care all too much about anything. any which way. he’s hooked up with a guy before to experiment, went “eh” and completely forgot about it. sally puts him in dresses and makeup for her tea parties and he surprisingly never complains. he instantly accepted sue as his daughter, even though he did complain about getting another child. sally told him one day she likes girls and he went “huh. well i guess you got that from me” and then took her out for ice cream. he’s perpetually tired and over time, has become hard to phase. billy sprouts wings and flies around? well, that’s to be expected, it’s tuesday after all. sally’s eyes turns black and she starts screaming for waffles? no big deal, he keeps a freezer of waffles for this. he loves gertrude but doesn’t show it as much as he should, but he’s trying. he does the universal dad stance and squints his eyes whenever the kids show him anything on their phones. his idea of a romantic date is going to the nearest burger place on a busy friday night. he got himself a nice comfy couch in the living room and falls asleep on it regularly. he’s such a dad, but refuses to admit it.

gertrude is tall and thin, with slightly bony features and liver spots scattered across her body. her face wrinkles whenever she laughs, smiles or cries. her shoulders are broad and thick, her hips are blocky and her build is stocky but thin, like a twig. she casually mentions her memories of putting on a dress for the first time and realizing she was a girl the whole time. she still tucks her kids in, even though they’re in their twenties, thirties and forties. she buys ice cream for any kid she sees without enough money for the ice cream truck. she watched hours upon hours of youtube tutorials for afro-textured hair when they took sally in, and now she can do dozens upon dozens of hairstyles for her. she hand-sews dresses for sue and repairs billy’s work clothes. she buys a new computer for spencer every two-three years and leaves it at his door with a snack plate. she takes her beloved granddaughter, ivy, out for ice cream and movie dates so maddie and/or billy can have a day off. she pulls a blanket over papa when he falls asleep in his chair, and fixes hot cocoa for everyone on cold nights. she has a self care day every week where she rests and watches her favorite movie/shows.

sue loves everything feminine, and simultaneously embraces everything non-feminine about herself. she wears pink dresses with frilly lace and bows, and proudly displays her thick arm and leg hair wherever she goes. she works out and shows off her thick muscles and abs. she’s not fluent in spanish, but speaks it regularly regardless. she carries sally on her shoulders and clumsily makes little dresses for her niece, ivy (they’re always messy, but ivy loves them anyways). she grows her hair out to her shoulders and ties it up with the same bow sally got her every day. she has a partner, rebecca, who she even tried to learn how to cook for just to bring her goodies (they’re often burnt, but rebecca never complains). she loves chick flicks, romcoms and comedies, and hides at horror movies. she’s set up a really cozy room for herself and rebecca in the house, with all of rebecca’s things in it that she bought with weeks of saved up allowance money. she loves and loves and loves. her hugs are warm and all-encompassing, and she’ll hug just about anyone for any reason. she’s enthusiastic and genuine in everything she does.

billy is much smarter than he lets on. he has abandonment issues and often hides behind a childish, “dumber” facade as a way to cope. he sometimes can’t look in the mirror because all he sees is his mother’s face staring back at him. he’s lanky but not quite tall. he’s close with his twin sister, charlie, despite being separated for much of their childhood. he goes out to movies and aquariums and zoos with her, and is fully fluent in sign language. he’ll do it so naturally that he sometimes uses sign language at home, because he forgets he’s not around charlie anymore. he never even thought he’d want to be a dad but he is so, so utterly taken with his daughter, ivy. he takes lots of pictures of her and proudly displays each and every single drawing she has ever made for him. he carries her on his shoulders and impulse buys clothes and toys for her all the time. he’s grown to find comfort in maddie’s presence, now that the two are in a healthy relationship. he irons his shirt and picked up sewing from gertrude. he’s started watching shows with papa every sunday evening as a way to bond. he’s indescribably close to sally; the two just understand each other in a way no one else does. they’ll sit in silence watching a movie together. he’ll play tea parties with sally every single time she asks without fail. he’s learned how to do her hair just to spend quiet evenings braiding it. he and sue go to zoos together, and he helps coach her on the few recipes he does know- and gets very proud when she outshines him. he prefers to be around people, but often takes an hour or two in the evenings to just have his own time, and he sits listening to music.

sally is larger than life and makes sure everyone around her knows it. she’s energetic, she’s fun, she’s loud and bright and bubbly and talkative and cheerful and so, so much more. she’s as bright and warm as the sun, and simultaneously just as brutal when she slips into her more monstrous form. she likes all things pink and purple and sparkly and glittery. she likes frills and laces and beads and pearls. she likes dresses and skirts and pretty shoes. she likes just about anything and everything pretty. she’ll befriend any animal she comes across, even dangerous ones, and they never harm her. she’s a complete and total optimist through and through, but isn’t nearly as oblivious or naive as she once was; still, it’s something she struggles with on occasion. gertrude takes her out and helps sally build her confidence and as much independence as possible, and sally loves it. she loves going to new places and exploring- zoos, aquariums, art galleries, museums, lighthouses, libraries, everything. she's become incredibly eager to learn and absorb new information, and her curiosity is limitless. she spends so, so, so much time with her siblings and spencer (even if spencer likes to pretend he hates it most of the time). she's almost never without either one of her siblings, or gertrude. she's a mama's girl and daddy's girl at the same time.

spencer doesn't like to be alone nearly as much as he claims he does. in reality, he hates being alone so much and fears being abandoned again- but he would never admit that to anyone. still, gertrude notices, and goes out of her way to do nice things for him and give him quiet reassurances that he belongs here, that he has a home here now. the basement was completely renovated so spencer can have a nice bedroom, and gertrude got him a complete gaming setup too. he plays video games a lot and streams them, and gertrude, sally and billy all watch every single stream he does (unless they're working). spencer has gradually warmed up to the other family members, and can even be spotted on sunday nights curled up on the opposite couch to papa acachalla, intently watching the movie on screen (which he insisted needed to be some mystery, action or horror movie, and papa always lets spencer have the remote). spencer will happily infodump for hours about computers and video games and computer mechanics and everything in between, to anyone who will listen.

maddie is incredibly passionate over anything and everything she puts her mind to. she used to obsess over billy, until she found out she was pregnant and began therapy- now she obsesses over making sure her daughter is healthy, happy, has everything, is learning everything, and can grow up to be a wonderful person. she sews clothes for ivy, cooks her all three meals a day, bakes her goodies for school, crafts and carves toys for her, and heavily researches all the best places nearby to take her. she's an extraordinarily loving mother who always does her absolute best in everything. she did quit her job for a while, but now finds purpose outside of motherhood in crafting furniture and toys to sell to others. she's learned to enjoy having her own time, and has rediscovered herself- she's learned she likes rock music and occasional heavy metal, she's learned she prefers savory over sweet things except on special occasions, she's learned she has a good eye for fashion and that she enjoys window-shopping whenever possible. she goes to therapy every week and has even taken a handful of community college classes purely to learn new things rather than to get a degree. she's loud and super energetic when she's excited. she has incredibly steady hands and surprisingly sharp focus. she's learned asl fluently, and is learning spanish alongside her daughter so they can talk to each other. she likes museums and art galleries because she gets to learn new things and see new things. she's grown into her own person, and has become an incredible mother as well.

hello sunshine <3

can i please get jade and floyd's reactions(not separately) with f!reader who can turn into a ghost and she can turn others into ghosts too?

sending love ♡

// Hi Polly. Here’s a flower for the delay. 🌸✨

Jade and Floyd with Reader who can turn into a ghost.

Headers’ art via Twisted Wonderland Official Game {edit by me}

{Headcanons/Scenarios}

Female! Y/N

___

I keep having weird thoughts about this topic thanks to some voice line I heard before like-

I also just saw a funny edit pic of Floyd in a ghost busters outfit which doesn’t help at all help-

I see the Leech twins using your ghost perk to make some kind of haunted room reservation business or something- yay, time to get rich—/ih/jk

If you offer them to turn them into ghosts, Jade would merely politely decline. Probably foreign to your abilities as he prefers to study them through observing rather than experiencing it- UvU

On the other hand, Floyd would either go “lol sure” or “can ghosts eat tokoyaki-?” kind of chaotic response before gladly accepting-

Which leads to Jade mentally contemplating if he should stop Floyd from becoming a ghost or be a ghost too if Floyd wants to be a ghost- (kinda like the ‘if Floyd falls then I’ll fall too’ twin situation hhhh-)

If the ghost transformation only lasts temporarily before going back to normal, then Jade won’t have to worry much about it if that’s the case,,,, 🤭😅

Floyd likes to fool around with you the most out of the twins, he would have you hold his hand so he can temporarily get invisible as well. Then jump scared some random student in front of them once he stops going invisible… ówò;;;

I feel like Floyd would start calling you “Ghost Fishy” instead of “shrimpy” affectionately,,,-

Floyd// Ghost Fishy! Did you know that a ghost fish is something that's been seen before, but never has one been witnessed alive?

Jade// They live so deep in the ocean that they get no sunlight. This fact probably accounts for their pale ghostly appearance.

Jade// It's a fish without scales, and its sunken in eyes completely lack pigment…

You may run as you like, but they won’t stop tracking you down as if they’re ghostbusters whenever they want to stick with you- they just love to,,, You just look so interesting to look at whenever you’re in your visible ghost form- x’3

It’s mostly Floyd reacting a lot as he waves his hand around through your transparent ghost form, in awe by how you can also be touchable yet untouchable-

Probably Jade// Floyd, be polite with the lady- she might jump scared you afterwards- UvU;;;

It’s sometimes pretty hard to surprise Jade when going through walls out of nowhere, he’s surprisingly calm around you despite how very curious he tends to be about you.

He might also tease you if you try to peek in when he’s trying to dress up- like what you see~/ih ;)

Of course, he’ll still act polite around you like the gentleman he is- he doesn’t want his dear ghost fish to run away just yet out of embarrassment~ 😉

Floyd probably can be curious at times or just being goofy by asking you random questions he comes up in mind as well-

Floyd// I wonder if we become ghost, we can become ghost eels, would that be possible~? Wait no- How would we look like if we become ghost eels ~???

Jade// … That’s something you can figure out, as our dear Ghost is right here with us to help, Floyd~

Slutty Sirius head cannons!

Slutty Sirius, you say? I'm pairing this with open relationship Wolfstar because I just think they're very fun and under appreciated.

It begins as a general fuck you to his mother, because nothing got her going more than the time he was found snogging the Parkinson girl during the Yule party. As though he would ever be allowed to marry down to a Parkinson.

He tops it a year later when he's caught with his hands in the pants of the Burke's oldest son at the next Yule party. He hid out the rest of that winter break at the Potter’s house.

At the start of his seventh year, Sirius wouldn't have called himself a slut. He's just bored, really, and someone dared him to see how many people he can convince to snog him at one Gryffindor party. (He lost count when people started coming around for round 2, but the number was high, thank you very much.) He only took two of them to bed, though, separately, and that's not slutty.

This is about when he starts Captial N Noticing Remus. Only, Sirius isn't sure he wants to exclusively date Remus, but that's the only type of romantic relationship he's seen Remus in. How can he risk their friendship for anything less? However, Remus seems to notice him too, and he never seems to be upset. If anything, he seems...hungry?

This all changes around his birthday. "I didn't get you a present," Remus says on the eve of his birthday. "That's alright," Sirius replies. "I accept blow jobs too." It was a joke. They all laugh. Sirius wasn't laughing when Remus crawled into his bed after lights out and gave him his present.

Sirius worries what would happen. Would Remus expect something more from him? Of course, Sirius can't help but snog him senseless when they happen to be in the bathroom at the same time, but he also has a standing date with Kingsley behind the quidditch pitch and he can't very well cancel now...

He puts it to the test at the next party they go to, managing to pull both Prewett twins and snogging them both openly in front of Remus. Remus definitely sees as he lets them pull him out of the common room to find somewhere more quiet.

He comes back to the dorm sometime after 2 am, assuming everyone is asleep and he will find out how angry Remus is tomorrow. However, as soon as the curtains close around his bed, Remus is climbing in with a silencing charm and a hard dick, and Sirius pulls him off as Remus begs him for all the dirty details.

Wolfstar never really officially start dating, but it continues like this. They're together, except when Sirius is pulling, and Remus always want to know about it after.

i love your aemond with his 3 children but hate your modern aemond with amaelia. how is that possible you wrote him as wonderful parent to elaena and twins but so toxic ("he'd be hurt he has to learn how to communicate with amaelia all over again" instead of showing her ACCEPTANCE he never got from his family he repeated the cycle vizzy started) to amaelia? did you do it on purpose? it's weird because medieval aemond is more aware how vizzy damaged him and is great father while modern aemond sees amaelia as extension of himself and not separate human and becoming this cliche misogynistic father who treats his daughter as his own property.

Dude If you hate it so much just stop reading it, no one is forcing you to interact with that au. And if you’re the same anon, than this isn’t the first time you’ve told me you hate it, so for your own mental peace, don’t interact with it anymore lol 🙃

Plus, the full context of that quote is: “so more than testing his temper, he's worried about her, and tries very hard to understand her and give her her space, while feeling awkward himself because he doesn't quite know how to approach her now that she's a teen.”

How would Sun,moon,lunar,eclipse and bloodmoons be when in timeout while regressed?

Lunar and Eclipse would just cry. They both get small enough that they just don’t understand why they aren’t being held or loved and they’ll cry and run away to the next caregiver-iest adult (probably Monty for Lunar and Moon for Eclipse) because they’re scared nobody loves them anymore.

The Blood Moons just sit and pout and poke each other until they’re separated, then they start crying their eyes out because their twin is gone and (in their mind) never to be seen again.

Sun just clings, he is not allowed in time out because he simply does not let go of whoever is taking care of him. He gets ‘aerial timeouts’ where he has to be held for two minutes and must behave for two minutes before he gets loved on and snuggled again.

Moon hides when he’s regressing at first and is very terrified of nobody accepting it, so Sun made punishments practically illegal to make Moon feel more secure. They had to learn the hard way when Monty sat him in time out and came back five minutes later to find Moon hiding inside a box he absolutely had no means to fit into let alone be able to move inside of and Moon actively avoided Monty for a week after that because he was scared Monty didn’t like that he got little.

In the Margins of a Textbook

Vax's drawings always bring a smile to his sister's face, even in the midst of the cage that is Syngorn.

Vex and Vax have their desks pressed together in the back corner of their Elven history classroom. It’s a small transgression they’ve learned they can usually get away with. Besides, eve if they get in trouble for it, the twins will happily take punishment together far before they accept separation.

The teacher drones on, lecturing about some long ended war, but his voice is little more than white noise to most of the classroom. Even if it weren’t so terribly boring, the professor’s voice has such a monotone quality that it could send anyone to sleep.

Vex, herself, is staring out the window, wishing she and Vax could turn into birds and fly away, leave this town behind. If she focuses, she can imagine it. Soaring through the air, looking down at an endless expanse of lush green forest. So many possibilities for the two of them

The clatter of a quill falling to the floor brings her back to reality. It was a fragile, wholly unrealistic fantasy, but Vex still mourns it a little bit. She sighs, melancholy.

Ever in tune with her emotions, Vax leans to his left so he can press their shoulders together, stealing her attention away. “Look,” he whispers, quill pointing to a little doodle in the margins of his textbook.

It’s a detailed sketch of one of their teachers, Sir Saule, with a towering dunce cap balanced precariously on his oversized head. If he weren’t such a dick, Vex might feel guilty about her snort of laughter. As it is, the professor has a vendetta against the twins for no other reason than their ‘sullied’ heritage and bloodline, so there’s only a petty satisfaction at his mockery.

Vax grins. It’s always his goal to pull laughter out of Vex with his doodles. Stuck in the hellscape that is Syngorn, both of them strive for whatever little joys they can find, which often involve little games between the two of them.

Reaching over, Vex scribbles her own drawing on Vax’s textbook. He watches with rapt attention as she drawn another professor who hates them, this one under a thundercloud that’s electrocuting them. 

Next to her brother’s artwork, Vex’s drawing lacks much technical skill, but Vax laughs all the same. “Good one.”

With a smile, Vex nudges her elbow into his side. “Your turn.”

“What do you want?” Vax asks, quill hovering above the parchment.

This game of back-and-forth doodling has always been one of Vex’s favorites, especially when she gets to come up with outlandish ideas of her brother to bring to life with his deft fingers.

This time, she asks for, “An owlbear in a ballgown.”

Vax grins. The more outlandish the request, the harder he tries. Immediately, his quill is racing along the parchment, sketching an outline that has no right being as good as it is. Vex’s smile widens as she watches him take her silly prompt and fly with it.

The owlbear is finished in minutes, and Vex has to bite her palm to stop from laughing loud enough to draw attention their way. Vax really has done a spectacular job, somehow capturing the image of a gangly owlbear pouting in discomfort as the excessively frilly gown constricts its feathers.

When her giggles have mostly slipped away, and she’s sure they’re not drawing undue attention, Vex takes her brother’s textbook and carefully rips out the small drawing.

Vax raises an eyebrow, but doesn’t stop her. “You like it that much?”

She shrugs, slipping the parchment scrap into her satchel. “Your art makes me very happy.”

It’s said in a casual tone, but the weight behind the words still makes Vax soften. Happiness of any kind can be hard to come by for them here, despite how hard they try to make each other smile. He slips his hand into hers under the desk, squeezing her fingers.

Vex huffs. “Stop being so sappy,” she demands, but makes no attempt to pull away, or even hide her smile. 

Keeping their hands together, Vax picks up his quill with his other, non-dominant hand. “Shut up and tell me what to draw next,” he replies, eager to draw more joy from his sister.

The rest of his drawings are sloppy, his left hand not used to manipulating a quill in quite the same way, but neither of them care. When they’re laughing over the doodles together, hushed but genuine, Syngorn fades away, leaving behind the joy of companionship that no one will ever be able to take from them.

Jk is the DF, he awakened first and was able to accept his connection with more ease compared to his tf. Jk believes in fate and always believed he could possibly find that special person whom he would just know was made for him. There’s so much in his behavior since 2018 that shows he’s been longing for his tf even though during those years he had no idea what it was. Many emotions were mixed up. He has already crossed paths with his tf in 3D and that began his awakening to the tf connection. You can’t and won’t consciously know you have a tf until after meeting them in 3D only then will you be able to understand. This is how real tf connections work and tf are very very rare but since it became a trend online everyone is thinking they have one

More than a trend, it has also become extremely sensationalized, and its meaning has been mixed with the typical, heteronormative, amatonormative ideas of romance.I agree many people think they are going to meet their twin flame, because they are lonely and it is being sold to them as the remedy against loneliness, the "only love" which could "cure" them from it.

From the energy i get, his TF is also someone who believes in fate, the Lovers and Four of Wands come out quite a lot when i ask them about their view of the world, or it comes out naturally in their readings. I still dont agree on the DF/DM labels.There is literally no reason why from the outside we could tell someone lean into one or the other side.Also, if the energies really are fluid, then it makes no sense to say the "DF" is aware before the "DM", because these terms will be exchanged at one point or another of their lifetime.These terms are just labels we use because, as always, we have a hard time understanding relationships outside of a binary system.

When i ask, it is usually ambiguous wether they have met yet or not.

I also disagree on the "has to meet in 3D" part. It has not been the case for me,nor for at least a few people I know.Actually, from what I have read, there is at least two main ways to live this twin flame journey.There are the people who meet out of nowhere, which triggers a major growth, and which tends to end up in chaser/runner dynamics and to separate indefinitely.The other type experience yearning and awakenings before the meeting, and are usually familiar with the concept of twin flames upon meeting.These people tend to have an even harder life than the first ones.And when say harder, i mean much much harder.Traumas all around, repetitively.These people are a bit more likely to have permanent union.I INSIST, the purpose of twin flame journeys is NOT permanent union, it is growth and learning major lessons.Twin flames are a gift as much as they are poison, it is all on the dosage and your personal sensitivities.

Also, it's hard to call someone else experiences the " real" deal when it comes to tf journeys, knowing there is literally no way you would know it if you arent them ??Like you guys seem SOOOO confident about it, it seems like there is five people here who know JK's relationship more than himself.

Should i just make a post about TF so we can clear this up ?

Raph is gonna be so fucking upset cuz like... technically he was the reason for Leon to suffer all those years, so learning Leon has such severe anxiety based around the loss of his brother hits hard for him. Because he spent so long thinking Dee had been killed right in front of him while Raph was happily playing house and taking raising his brother as his son despite having been perfectly capable of sending Dee home a lot sooner!

I mean, he might blame himself but i don't think it was entirely his fault (especially with Hob being the literal cause of it.) Like it would have taken years for Don to be able to build the return portal, and by the time it's done. They literally wouldn't have been able to send him back much before he was 12 or 13 (and by then, Dee felt very weary about going back. what if his brothers didn't remember him or, even worse, like him? he'd rather stay where he knows he's accepted then risk being not.) So much past the fact he didn't bodily throw Dee through the portal the second it was complete, he's not really to blame.

but yeah, i could see how he might blame himself. Like he could have made Dee go back as soon as it was complete, but it would have only saved Leon from a few extra years and not the entire thing. Not to mention He didn't want Dee to go anymore than Dee wanted to at that time.

Thank you!

Probably. They would have had a few to make up for missing so he might go a bit crazy for it.

Thank you!

He'd say it's because of Leon's injuries but they all know he's worried sick about his twin.

Thank you!

Maybe a little bit. Like i could see him getting a little more anxious than normal when Leon's been separated from him, but not nearly to what Leon experiences.

Thank you!

lol pretty much! Like

Dee: And this is my big brother, Raph.

Raph waves.

April *looking up at very tall seventeen year old*: Well, he certainly lives up that title.

Thank you!

Hello! What do you think of the theory that these four facilities are not the only source of blood for R!Ciel? We are well aware of how good UT is at keeping things secret, so these barely hidden facilities seem very suspicious. I am sure that the time of the appearance of R!Ciel is not coincidental, but rather precisely calculated by UT. It would fit very well into the chess game the twins are playing: R!Ciel makes the first move to kick his brother out of the manor, O!Ciel destroys the vital blood resources, R!Ciel reveals that they are not the only ones, which prompts O!Ciel to come up with a new plan. Given his and UT's composure and nonchalance about the first object being destroyed, it's hard to believe that this sentiment is based solely on arrogance, which is definitely not UT's trait. If I am not mistaken, R!Ciel can take any blood type, which makes all the fuss about Sirius blood even more hilarious. Imagine O!Ciel's face upon learning that those voyages were all for nothing. Also, assuming that the ultimate goal of UT is to save O!Ciel's soul from being consumed by Sebastian, it makes perfect sense to separate the servants from their young master and his demon. Looking forward to the Brighton Arc!

More, secretive facilities?

It's possible, I suppose, but I don't think that's happening. If there are other facilities providing blood, then the quantities they send are probably not nearly enough to sustain the demand. And, once Undertaker and real Ciel are defeated, those facilities would eventually stop collecting.

But I think these are the main four facilities, now that Sphere Music Hall has been shut down and the Bath resort was kept from being put to full use.

Instead of Undertaker and real Ciel making these facilities obvious, I think they believe they covered their activities well. Spaced out across the country and not connected in any way that most people would immediately realize. Sebastian is a demon, but he still had to do research to figure out what little he knows about each facility.

Besides, my big Mother3 theory helps explain it this way: the player has to be able to figure out where to go, what to do, who's the adversary, etc. within a somewhat reasonable timeframe. Actually winning might be difficult, but figuring out how to even play the game shouldn't be. The twins might compare their moves to playing chess, but what they are doing is very much like a rhythm game... like Mother3.

Arrogance might not be Undertaker's trait, but I think it is very much a trait of real Ciel, and he's largely calling the shots now... even when Undertaker seems less-than-keen about some of the decisions.

Idk whether real Ciel knows he can accept any whole blood donation (ignoring Rh factor). But, if he does know, then he's likely being too elitist to use anything but his own blood type. I mean we already know he's putting a premium on the rarer blood types. Even Blavat makes that apparent with how the four stars are ranked. This is one of the reasons I suspect that the Viscount of Druitt is involved in the blood typing and transfusion process. He's exactly the sort who would believe some blood types are superior to others.

Remember how Undertaker got a huge laugh out of Stoker believing they were truly using medical science to revive the dead? And then he completely deflates Stoker's ego by saying they were no longer relying on science once they asked for a reaper's assistance? Undertaker's techniques aren't medical. At least they weren't then.

Now, what's going on is partly medical. But I imagine a scene where Druitt (or someone else with a medical background who is helping instead) makes claims about how blood typing works and how real Ciel is special for only being able to accept the rarest blood type... then Undertaker bursts out laughing, explaining that isn't true, and how amusing it's been to watch the Aurora Society struggle to attain "Sirius" blood when any human blood would have sufficed.

The other possibility is that Undertaker also doesn't know how blood types really work, and when someone finally explains it to him -- like Sieglinde -- he gets a huge kick out of the futility of all their efforts until then. His included.

Now, it is a good strategy to get the enemy to split up, with the idea they will be weakened and easier to defeat. However, real Ciel's side is also split up. Heathfield's facility was crushed, and Polaris could only see it for himself and report back. Layla/Al was exposed to the reapers, and she might be at reaper HQ by now, getting her head examined by Othello, for all we know. Doll is struggling and might be defeated by Snake and Finny soon. That leaves real Ciel and those he's keeping closest, like Undertaker and Polaris. But even Polaris isn't always there with his master. Tanaka is around, but his loyalty is still questionable; I'm sure he's not actually comfortable serving the bizarre doll of real Ciel. There must be someone else who is helping with the medical side of things, like Druitt (or a bizarre doll of Stoker or of the circus doc), but is that person of any other use? Anyway, both sides are largely split up and fighting at multiple fronts.

sad news- my mom had to put down her old whippet today- had a little over a week/two weeks learned that the old guy had bladder cancer and the tumor had spread to over 90% of said bladder. She had him on chemo pill to see if it'd help- dog too old and tumor way too big for a surgery option. Dog was twelve, and she tends to have them die on her to health issues around 11-12, sometimes earlier if freak accidents (Previous male whippet more than ten years before was lost due to a succession of strokes at 9) and heart problems. (Breed average lifespan can be more than that but she's had a decades long streak of losing them before 13/14). Old dog had an extreme heart murmur so that it was bladder cancer of all things out of the blue. But his kidneys were starting to go too on Sunday and by last night that he was in pain was obvious. Due to history with her first male whippet, my mom doesn't like to keep terminally ill dogs past the point she feels the pain versus quality of life is more about the owner's grief. So this morning she took him in and the vet immediately agreed. Still it's hard even if my mom is outwardly very accepting, especially that the old dog had a relatively long life full of sporting events and achievements and that she was here with him.

And of course that this summer my sister's old male pom died of what was probably heart failure and she's still grieving. But the irony is that the other old whippet - the one that's my dad's as the rest of the whippets are my mom's- is the aunt of the old male dog. And that old bitch - she also has cancer. The type that's usually in the spleen but is this large tumor on the dog's shoulder, the one that this same vet estimated would kill her in months at the most because this is the time of also aggressive cancer that has an expectancy of weeks... And it's been almost two whole years and the old bitch mostly ignores the tumor lump and it seems to not effect her at all. Also the first exception to that 12 year cut off date in twenty years as she's I think 14. The joke is that the old bitch will outlive everyone, including the two yo twin puppy boys (sons of the old male dog, very much the same in personalities). Grantie is cranky about her stupid grand-nephews if she's trying to nap, but otherwise tolerates them fine.

It's a bit rough having this happen so soon relatively after the death of the other old male dog (the pom), and that both happened after the diagnosis of the old bitch, and does dredge up my lingering sadness of losing my goober hound. And just like the weekend after my sister lost her pom, she and my mom are going to a UKC dog show event, which will be good to hang around several dog show world friends and sympathetic ears doing things with the living dogs in a separate location. Hopefully the twin terrors behave themselves.
