i am still not over the fact arlecchino is referred to as "father" by the house of the hearth kids btw. the gender of it all

#i cant articulate this ugh #its just. the idea that she plays not the role of mother #where nurture and compassion would typically be expected of her #but the role of father. where a more stern and i guess distant sort of love might be typically expected. Yeah #i also dont hate the fact she doesnt seem to be abusive to the kids. i know i said i wanted her to be irredeemably evil but i really dig th #s #i actually really like the direction they seem to be taking? where its like. #shes still The Fatui. shes still using orphaned kids for military missions #but she doesnt go out of her way to harm the children. id say she sort of goes out of her way to *not* do so #AGH IT MAKES ME INSANE!!!! #the fontaine siblings' voicelines about her made me utterly insane. particularly freminet's #leaks skip if u dont wanna know but when he says she doesnt like crying so he avoids shedding tears in front of her at all costs (augh) #but still will say that things got better after the house director changed and she took charge #and that she literally told him that he has to value his own life instead of prioritizing self-sacrifice for loved ones' sakes. or somethin #which i take to be good advice for freminet in particular who has some concerning suicidal tendencies going on in there #anyway yeah arlecchino i am obsessed with you #my posts

"She's the most beautiful angel in all of heaven now."

#alastor #ftm al #big papa legba #hazbin hotel #this is the REAL reason big papa FUCKS!! not all that anime powerscaling bullshit #do you have any idea how distraught alastor was after his mom died? he wanted to burn everything to the ground and then DIE #what could be more HORRIFYING than this? what could be more SOUL-CRUSHING than this? #but then this guy pops into his life and tells 'no you're mom's not gone she's the most beautiful angel in heaven now' #he literally says that! best part is he's totally right #i 100% think alastor's mom is the most beautiful angel in heaven. she literally just looks exactly the same as she did as a human but now s #e has gold angel wings #apparently papa legba (the actual deity from voodoo) is really good with kids. you never see that side of voodoo do you! #human alastor

aged alice up (and fixed the "aging baby up" proportions obviously) out of curiosity i kind of like her

#gameplay where alice works through the generational trauma and breaks the cycle sam and aiden couldn't break #i feel like if like real oc sam and aiden had a kid they'd probably be good parents in like a #they're heavily flawed but they really are trying their best way #like they never directly hurt their kid but they're kind of consumed by trauma and mental illness and obviously that shines through #i mean they both recognize this which is why they won't have a kid #not to mention sam practically raised his FOUR younger siblings so he doesn't really want kids for that reason either #i was going to say that it's ts4's fault because it kept making them neglect alice lmao but #i feel like this was also a thing in ts3 or little me didn't know what i was doing #throwback to the time i accidentally neglected my ts3 child when i was like 8 because i didn't understand that an adult needed to cook for #her and then she swam in the pool and then out into the grass and drowned there #and tiny little me was home alone and so scared so i cried

aus where r/s have a kid are a little strange to me sorry. because well s okay i sort of get it but r? what about that man makes you think he would a) want a child b) be a good father to one. be real

#when i say aus i also mean the child she made him father in the canon material. which never shouldve happened #teddy lupin means nothing to me. those are just words. there is no residual fondness left over from my affection for his father #sorry but even if they got married. i dont think theyre having kids. that seems like such a strange next move for them i cannot imagine the #wanting that #r endangered every child in hogwarts incuding his dead best friends son so as not to damage his reputation with the big boss. and now you #have to understand i dont see that as any sort of crime because i dont give a shit about any of those kids if it was up to me #he wouldve eaten harry when he got the chance. but the principle of it does not scream to me 'man who should have a child :-(' #as much as i HATE to acknowledge the existence of hjp. he was kid enough for s i think and i grant you he was a good parental figure to him #but like. for him and his loser boyfriend to go out of their way to have a child. feels unlikely ill level with you. but this might all jus #be my disinterest in kidfic showing. i think im right though #like its one thing to take h in as the orphan son of ur dead friend in canon. but like in aus...hm. #its the same as i feel about them proposing to each other. said it b4 but i cannot imagine either of them planning some big heavily #orchestrated candles and roses down on one knee proposal. that is not them its just not. if they DO get married its because they are #brushing their teeth together and one of them goes we should get married and the other one goes what? and the first one says we should #get married again and the other one goes take your toothbrush out of your mouth i cant understand what youre saying like that. and the #first one takes their toothbrush out and repeats i SAID we should get MARRIED and the other one goes oh okay. if you'd like #anyway. this post got away from me no one is reading these tags are they jeez #r/s

Thinking over parent hcs and honestly, Itto is just like.

Goofy

Itto would just outright be Goofy like of the Goofy movie continuities

#☆ ┆ ( .ooc. ); #//Just Goofy with Max in general #//Is the most clown mf; would absolutely embarrass TF outta his child; but try so hard to always be good #//Nothing is more important to him than his kiddo’s happiness; even if he humiliates himself in the process #//Well; not like that worry’s ever stopped him before lol #//But ye #//Takes any rejection and bad attitudes HARD from his kiddo(s) #hc; itto #//Would actually try so hard to get his shit together so his kids could have a good upbringing #//One full of so much love and having everything they could ever want; he’d be so doting #//And the kiddo would be raised by a whole village; the Arataki gang deffo being SO involved #//Itto would try so hard not to just leave the kid to Kuki or his s/o; he’d genuinely try to learn to do right be the kiddo himself #//Asking help only if Really necessary or when he gotta go work #//There was this one TikTok I saw of a dad with his baby strapped to his chest in a carrier #//and him and his buddies jamming to baby songs for the kiddo while they hung out #//THAT is how I like to imagine it’d go #//Sometimes: a fam is an oni; his s/o; their bab; and the gang lol

paranatural would be so good if the characters had intended symbolism and core beliefs and things behind them that drove a specific meaning. rather than being tools for shonen anime pseudomocking

#like all joming aside the comic is funny but thats it. its funny. its made to be funny. it has some wacky lines gets some good reactions #its funny. but i dont think its a good story anymore. #like let’s really think about this for a moment. what is paranatural about. #4 years ago i wouldnt said ‘kids fighting ghosts in their wacky hometown’ but theh havent done that in ages. theres no trace of that story #and there hasnt been since chapter 5 ended #digging further- thats just plot. what is it ABOUT? the power of friendship? the perseverance to protect the ones you love? #i used to love max for his down-to-earth straight man grounded perspective. max wasnt funny. max was reasonable and the contrast of that #reason against the nonsense of the town is what MADE him funny. #like the other day when i posted the comparison between ch4’s hallway specshot scene and the one from fridays page #max isnt being funny in the hallway. ‘why am i here’ is put against Haha Woww So Deel Max Lol to which he can reply no i mean study hall. #his reaction is rational. the sarcasm adds humor but its rather the world around him which is so newly strange that his normalcy is funny #and then versus the new page. max makes a Why Am I Here joke again. but this time the question is not asked by max the character who wants #to know why his father has dragged him to a kids entertainment zone. but rather is asked as the setup for an #Unexpected Quirky Classic Max One-Liner ‘no i meant on this earth why do i exist’ #it just feels so much flatter. max isnt aloof and uncaring and sarcastic because he doesnt care about anything or anyone and is untouchable. #max is standoffish but genuinely nice and caring for the people he meets. his first instinct after landing on johnnys face #is to ask if hes alright. when PJ feels distraught at not being important in his own death maxes first instinct is to find a way to make him #feel better. to challenge that perspective and doubt the viewpoint his own poor self esteem gives him #when isabel comes out of her spirit trance and is too shocked to move max immediately rushes to her side to protect her against a spirit hes #terrified of. and then the next day brings what happened up to her and says hes sorry she went through that and hes got her back #he BREAKS HIS ARM TO PROTECT JOHNNY AGAINST HIJACK #hes a good protagonist because even though he has trouble connecting to others and being super friendly hes still NICE!!!! he still CARES!!! #i might take these tags and just make them a new post this turned into loving max hours #paranatural

[that-was-anticlimactic]

no listen you guys don’t understand okay so teru’s eng va is gowther in sds and ritsu’s eng va is king from sds, right? i was watching an episode to destress today and i totally forgot that there was a moment in s1 when gowther is just. carrying king on his back. probably because he got hurt, but he prolly could’ve easily just flown away or something but no. gowther just. carries him on his back. friendship. little guys.

so anyways that made me think of teru just. making ritsu get on his back and tbh that feels like something he would do. and ritsu would either do it begrudgingly because he wanted teru to stop asking, because he was about to pass out or was literally too injured to walk, OR teru just says ‘screw it’ and like. floats ritsu onto his back oiugyftcgvhjiuygtf anyways besties <3

#look it was a good thought #i was thinking of ritsu today okay guys #the wifi went out in the entire district and the kiddos were supposed to be researching today so i kind of just sat and watched kids do #nothing today since it was basically sit and do nothing day at school oiugyfcgvhjikoijuhgvfc #so i had a lot of time to think and i thought lots of thoughts and mob would try to stifle a giggle and reigen would be like 'i can carry #you next time thumbs up emoji' and ritsu would be like 'absolutely you will Not never never never' and would maybe try to get down but teru #is so comfortable and his hair is so soft and it feels nice to be held even tho it;s embarrassing #and hm oh wow yeah lowkey ritsu doesn't Want to get off but if he shows any loving emotion to anyone but mob he may explode so he pouts the #whole time. you may be wondering why teru is carrying ritsu? well. idk. maybe he felt like it. maybe he was flirting👀 maybe ritsu was #injured either badly or like very mildly and teru wanted to be all dramatic about it... or maybe he was just having silly fun times #anyways i'm have feelings #idk why i just saw that clip and this was all i could think of okijuhygtfdxcfghujiko #riteru #lowkey tho <<<

….

#tw fertility #tw pregnancy #tw periods #okay so like fully realizing that I definitely just can’t count #and I’ve been stressed so that’s why my period is late etc etc #there’s no real concern im actually pregnant (it would be one step above the next messiah lmao) #but it’s so weird being someone who actively wants kids #in this spot where I’m 25 and financially stable with a fiance I love who will be a good dad #and we aren’t trying for a kid because it’s just bad timing and I JUST passed the bar and started work #but it also wouldn’t ruin our lives and we could rally #so I don’t feel that genuine all encompassing relief with a negative test anymore #there’s always a little twinge of sadness or disappointment #that my s/o obviously will not understand (nor do I expect him to) because he didn’t want kids until he met me #not like he changed his mind we were just 19 #but yeah idk. its weird. #I don’t want to be pregnant or have a baby rn but I’m also sad whenever it doesn’t happen

[i-love-ninjago-kai]

Don’t worry guys just crying over how unequivocally tragic Kai’s character is

#txt #kai #kai ninjago #LISTEN i KNOW it is not intentional on the writer's part because at its core Ninjago is a kid's show #And I know I write some dark stuff pertaining to his character when the show is NEVER that deep but just #look at the kid's life and how are you not like... Dude #I know Kai is NOT the fandom's typical favorite believe me I know #but holy hell #Have any of yall looked deeper at this kid #So drummed into his head that he needs to protect and the only way to do that is through respect which you get with power #and once the concept of the green ninja is introduced Kai wants it more than anything #less so because it would make him feel good but because Kai has just always been s so so afraid that he cannot be enough to save everyone #but as the green ninja he could #and then he realizes that it is not his burden to bare but this little child #and though disappointed Kai still takes up the responsibility of taking care of Lloyd without a second thought #because that is what he knows and he doesnt know who he is besides that #Everyone always focuses on how arrogant he can seem -- hes not btw. he is a normal teenage boy #but sometimes it feels like it is just a sounding board for just how alone and terrified Kai is of messing up #failure in any sense makes him seize up and close in on himself because his life has ben PROVIDING and WORKING and PROTECTING #and if he is put in a sitution where he can't do that #it breaks him #Zane's death is a prime example of thatt #Kai literally CANNOT handle the fact that he failed to protect someone he loves and it kills him enough to wish he had taken Zane's place #and it never gets resolved. ever #Kai never gets that security -- and I dont expect him to #kids show. I know. But... Shit. it hurts #ninjago #ninjago kai

meant to post abt this yesterday and ik it’s kinda mean but i think the counselor i have rn is the worst one ive ever had possibly even worse than (or tied w) the one i had over the summer who kept ending our sessions well before the full hour was up when i was going thru a horrible time and kept spending the sessions mostly talking abt herself and her own problems. actually no now that i write that out she was probably the worst (though she was one of the warmest / nicest and our personalities meshedreally well so i feel bad saying that she was the worst). but the one i have now is so…. lke idk. my experience w the worst counselor made me rly want to work w a clinical intern again bc i wanted someone who would like. actuallytake things seriously and give me the time i was paying for and spend all of it talki ng abt the things i was paying to talk abt and draw from the most recent / cutting edge info instead of entirely personal experience (WHICH AGAIN I FEEL SO BAD ABT BECAUSE. my work is all abt healing each other by sharing things like that and i realt did like her but it just wasn’t appropriate i guess bc it was a counseling relationship!) but my current counselor is so… rigid and restrictive. like i think he is trying too hard to apply what he’s being taught and he seems like nervous and talking out of his ass and he masks that by taking up SO much space and spending like 3 minutes responding to every one minute i talk and literally like strongarmimg the convos and deciding what we’re going to talk about and moving us on to a new topic abruptly before i feel ready to move on and like taking time out of our sessions to do paperwork / admin stuff so he doesn’t forget later (and a lot of the time i think he’s doing it while im talking bc i see his eyes moving around his screen and the light on his face like he’s not even listening to me). and it fucking sucks. i want to crack him like an egg so bad and make him realize it doesn’t have to be this way but i know that’s not my responsibility and in our session last night i basically gave up trying to create enough space for myself and just let him steer things bc i was having side effects and it was just rly unsatisfying

#purrs #i know it is entirely within my right to address these things both for my sake and for his / his future clients but im so scared lol like i #don’t want to tell him he’s doing a bad job and making it hard for me to navigate but literally when you keep steamrolling and silencing me #and cutting me off and forcing me around… yeah. also he has to record our sessions and show them to his profs / supervisors and it’s so like #idk. ive been recorded in sessions before and im totally fine w it but there’s 2 things abt this specific instance of it thst distress and #annoy me. 1) when we sign on to our session he says like 2 things to me then starts the recording and is TOTALLY fake and forcing it like #hello tess welcome to our session and he’ll repeat some of the stuff he said but in a more like.. extensive way so it just feels rly fake #to me lol. WHICH ALSO REMINDS ME 1.5) not related to the recording but every time he asks me questions he asks like… 3 questions but doesn’t #give me space to answer the two like it’s just a bridge for him as he&/ working his way to the thing he actually wants to ask me and i #fucking hate when ppl ask me questions and then answer them themselves or like don’t want to hear the answer. i had 2 profs like that in #brighton and it fucking pissed me offff so being around someone who does that again is rly agitating ik it’s just a nervous habit but yeah. #and 2) i am kinda concerned that none of my counselors profs or supervisors have seemed to call him on how he doesn’t give me space or let #me guide the convo. like idk maybe it’s just that all of my counselors before him were too loose w me but i feel like it s not supposed to f #feel this rigid and i am kinda scared abt the implications of no one actually watching these recordings and see how i try to speak but he #almost always talks over me and i just give up. lol. i like him he’s a nice person i just think he’s nervous and trying too hard and it #would be passable for like.. the little kid clients who usually go there but it doesn’t feel good for me a 23 year old who has had like what #6 counselors before him all of whom gave me space and didn’t shove me around. i miss the counselors i had from oct 2020 - jul 2021 and sept #2021 - feb 2022 they were the best ever and i am inches away from terminating here and just trying to go to wherever they are full time now #and working w them again bc they rly got me and i didn’t know how good i had it lol. i guess i don’t need someone as good anymore bc things #in my life are objectively better than they were during those times but my mental health is still bad so i would uhhh… like someone good #and don’t think that’s too much to ask and need to get it into my head that i CAN ask it. ok rant over #*no one actually watching the recordings has seen / pointed out to him how he steamrolls me etc etc

Sunset storytelling 🌻

#original #fauns #worldbuilding #wanted to do something in milo's backstory/early era #and also wanted to put in drawing some faun cityscape thoughts #i rlly like the idea that they paint the exterior of their houses. to varying degrees of extravagance #i know i want faun towns to be colorful and bright. the bright sun and the white soil and the colorful buildings. awnings and decoration #and milo being some form of teacher and/or other influence in kids' lives is. important #for character things. uh. good and bad. as everything is with him #idk basically this image of milo telling stories to some of the towns children has been in my brain for a while. i care he #he is. a storyteller. at heart 💕 #and this turned out really good!! a nice contrast from that stupid frustrating julian lmao. milo looks SO good i think here. win #not done yet. also i realized halfway thru this that i couldve probably included his sister(s) here #even tho theyd probably be a bit old for this group of faunlings #but now i kinda wanna do smth else with one or both of THEM. many thoughts. he is everything to me #oc #Milo Montalvo #ocs

Redraw of my very self indulgent baby Self Insert for FNaF Security breach just because how I draw Sun in the original reference makes me want to scream

#Emile's arts #It's still not GOOD his rays make me mad #But I don't want to mess with it and at least he has a functional color pallet now #My version of Security Breach is wonky but whatever this game's story is trash and patchy I am making it my own #I'm basically just a daycare kid who's parents one day didn't show up to pickup #Usually the Daycare Attendent would report this to Security but at this point Moon had been infected #So Sun anxious of Moon's erratic behavior decided nah this kid's just gonna stay with me #About a week later Moon drops a kid into the ball pit from super high up on his wire and gets the daycare shut down #The kid lived btw broke his leg really bad but he survived #The daycare's only scheduled to be shutdown a week or so but no one tells Sun that so he starts having a breakdown #My S/I is the only thing holding him together really and even THAT'S not really great #Sun is programed to 'love kids' and that might be a bit faulty of a program #(Sun is a Romantic F/O to this S/I) #He's falling apart and putting all his emotional support on a four year old and it's not going great #and then say four year old almost DIES RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM #Yeah when the lights go out on the last generator Moon grabs me and goes real high up like he did with that other kid #I do still like Moon he's scary yes but he matters to Mr. Sun and I want him to be better #And I tell him this #And then he fucking throws me #Lights come back on Sun switches front and dives from the wire to catch me #Sun gets real busted up from the fall bent rays broken arm and ankles I break my glasses and fracture my arm #It's a bad time #idk what happens next a lot of trauma recovery I hope #And Moon eventually gets cured and I slowly get use to him again #Slowly... #That's about it anyway most the S/I thought are pre-game stuff anyway just. Being a daycare kid in love with Sun Sun in love with me #Etc etc #Sorry if you read my tags if that was like. Weird. It's where I am mentally with Sun it be like that #Cradle Ship

I really. Should sit down and figure out what to do with Shilo in my Fourth World canon

#Shilo norman is the fourth world character most aggressively screwed over except for maybe forager #It's hard for me to get a hold on him and that's because no two takes on him have been remotely the same #And I dont want to default to mr miracle v1 canon like i normally do bc shilo's backstory in that REALLY didnt age well #I like the source of freedom's take on him best I think but it completely loses his connection to scott and also fuck n'vir free #That leaves like. Mr miracle v2's shilo. Which is just. #Well. Choices were made #There's a reason most ppl have ignoreed mr miracle v2's take on shilo's personality and backstory and just kept him becoming mr miracle #I think my biggest problem with Shilo is that what I find interesting about him is not at all a character angle canon wants to explore #Ie I like the idea of Shilo as a mortal among gods #What does it mean to pick up a mantle that's shared with/was previously held by a god? #I rlly liked the initial thing in mr miracle v2 where rhey made him create his own tech for the suit bc he didnt have a motherbox #To me that's FAR more fascinating as a concept than what they ultimately ended up going with re: motherbox accepting him #Which I always found badly executed anyway like I think it was a really bad move to try and draw direct parallels between shilo and scott #I'm sorry a teen runaway mom leaving her newborn kid at the doorstep of an orphanage is not a betrayal!! Tf did you want her to do!!! #Anyway. Moving on #And then the source of freedom did away with the godly aspect of the mister miracle legacy entirely #And I rlly do like how cutting out scott enabled the story to focus on thaddeus brown and issues of race #The source of freedom is a very good take on shilo but still #I cant help but feel dissappointed nobody has rlly seemed to see shilo the same way as me ie a man among gods #Idk I still havent read all shilo comics im missing some notable exceptions so maybe I'll find it yet #But this lack of interest in framing shilo the way I believe would be the most interesting rlly does make it hard for me #To figure out what to do with him in my canon #My posts #Shilo norman

[a-story-teller]

Had another dream story idea and it's BAD out here y'all. My subconscious said "you don't go for sad old white men yaoi? Well here's one and you have to care about it so much. Good luck"

#the braiiiin worms #The surrounding story was very good lotr asoiaf 80's fantasy epic and then there were these two dudes just So Achingly In Love oh my GOD #Basically they had been knights together back in the day during their own Young Men Do Big Things story and deposed the evil mage king #They were just village boys turned soldiers who fell in love and did something good #but then the one was basically forced to become king because he'd killed the last one and had to get married and produce an heir #So he does get married but tells the queen he's never going to sleep w her and she can fuck who she likes and her kids can have the throne #Since he's not even nobility he doesn't care about The Bloodline #His lover is promoted to “protector of the king” 👀 and they manage to be happy despite the restrictions of royal life #Eventually though it comes out that the king's kids aren't his #And this sparks a conflict between “loyalists” who want the True King's Legacy and the “monarchists” who want Real Noble Lineage #With the queen basically standing back and watching it happen as the crown prince decides now is a great time to try “patricide” #the lover finds the king's nephew (the loyalists' heir) and tells the guard to take him to distant family to raise until he's old enough #But the guard is like “he's gonna get found out in no time” so instead sells him to ppl who find exotic kids for nobles to keep as wards #and he basically disappears into a faraway household and the lover doesn't even know #Meanwhile the king survives a poison attempt but is now physically impaired and on high alert #He leaves with a small retinue to Do Some Business but when he comes back the castle gates are up and arrows start raining down #So it's him and his little group at the edge of a market vs. an entire castle #In the ambush/battle he is seriously wounded #and they try to fake his death to get back in the castle and then nurse him/sneak him out #But the prince doesn't take it at face value and stabs the “body” to make sure #and the lover has to act through watching his all-but-husband who'd just planned their escape from all this get killed in front of him #So that it doesn't blow his cover and get him killed too #That's about where the dream ended but I'm uggg g h gg #I'm SO invested in these two fantasy gays and their incredibly poetic relationship #Doesn't hurt that there were like 3 very graphic sex scenes between them across the timeline #And they were so obsessed with and hungry for each other the whole time.... the last one was just before the ambush #after the king has been left near-immobile from the poison and they're like 40-something #and the lover takes him away from all that and back to the days it was just them and he was strong #It was sooo romantic but also hell when can I get ravaged like that #Anyway I'm ruined and I can't even really work on it I have too many other things to do
