Tumblr media Tumblr media
You stood outside the door of your apartment taking your badge and putting it against the door when you didn’t hear the usual ‘click’ you did it once more the line of thin rope it was on from the retractable keychain until you finally noticed you were home
It was very rare to get the internship you got as high schooler you’d been hoping for since your freshman year and when you application got accepted to work in a phlebotomy lab to get your CPT and make very decent money to be a senior you along with everyone who knew you personally was ecstatic
Your mom and dad had threw a celebration party on your rooftop inviting a few good friends, family members, and of course Rio and Miles the boy couldn’t be more proud of you showing you with more than enough gifts to last you until holiday season
The sudden urge to bash your head against the door was very prominent as you realized you were home and not at the lab as you fished through one of your many unnecessarily full bags to grab your keys unlocking your door one of the biggest gifts Miles gifted you had been the apartment he saw you looking at over your shoulder one day switching between the housing app and your Pinterest board for home inspiration
You deemed the second biggest gift both of your parents allowing you to move in together as high school seniors even if you were legally adults
But thankfully Rio and your parents agreed after much pleading and convincing that it would be a good thing for the both of you and the start of your adulthood even if they threatened you with everything under the sun if you made them grandparents
As you entered your home Miles was up from his position on the couch taking your bags from your hands and arms scolding you as he shut the door from behind you with a grunt
“¿Por qué no me llamaste? Te hubiera ayudado. Give me these” You would gladly let him knock himself out as you took off your work shoes which were just an older pair of Jordans beside the door not having enough energy to put them on the rack before going to sit down on your couch you just needed to sit for a few minutes
You suddenly were aware that your scrubs were on your brand new couch causing you to groan before you put your head in your hands screaming at yourself internally to disinfect the whole thing when you were to get up
“What’s wrong mi vida? Nah uh uh, we’re not doing that, what’s wrong with my baby?” He crouched in front of you now his hands were on your arms his braids falling to his shoulders dismissing the excuse as you hit him with the ‘nothings wrong’
“Its just hard handling school and work and then the family is still up on me about the move and making sure I finish school I’m just ready to quit” Miles knew you weren’t just talking about your new job or school he’d liked to think of himself as a bit brighter than that as he rubbed his hands up and down your arms
“This is our last year, I know you’re gonna finish out strong ‘cause that’s just you. You’ll complain and whine ‘bout it but I know you’ll find a solution to… accommodate everything. Eres súper mujer mami” Miles stated carefully trying his hardest to not come of too insensitive never taking his hands off you before you finally uncovered your face he was quick to wipe under your eye before a tear could escape it muttering something below his breath that you barely caught
“Too pretty to be cryin’ over this shit”
“And tell them to lay off you ‘fore I have to come up there and kick somebody ass” That caused a chuckle to slip past your lips while Miles face broke into a beginning of a small smile
“Go get in the shower aight’? I got the rest.” You sighed before coming to a stand Miles did the same giving you space to move around the half decorated unfinished living room giving you creative freedom to do whatever the hell it was you wanted to the apartment with a simple ‘you do you princesa’
The toffee skinned boy began to order takeout over his phone as you walked further into your home not wanting to worry yourself with cooking anything for the either of you making sure to add a little extra of everything when he heard the water turn on he grabbed his car keys out of the bowl that sat by the door on the decorative table before slipping out the house into the streets of New York
💌💌💌💌
Miles wasn’t the least bit of surprised when he heard the water still running as he returned to your home he made the run as a quick as he could in New York traffic one hand full with two Chinese takeout bags and another with some of your favorite flowers trying to make sure not to crush them as entered through the door
He sat down the flowers on the dining room table before unloading all of the food from the bags and sitting it on one of the trays you had got on a trip to the thrift store and when he questioned what the hell the wooden mini trays were for he was in for an ear full that summed up one statement
“When we’re not eating at the table nobody’s fucking up my couch”
“Oh Miles” Fifteen minutes later you we’re finally out the shower treading back to the living room before you were stopped in awe looking around your living room some of the candles that were placed in various places were now lit, there was food on the table, Corpse Bride one of your favorite movies was paused at the beginning on the Tv, and your boyfriend stood presenting flowers in his hand to you
Without another word you pressed a kiss to his plump lips before engulfing him which he returned with a small chuckle pressing a kiss to your forehead
“Haré cualquier cosa por ti eres mi mundo lo sabes” He pressed one more kiss to your hairline before he urged you to sit making a mental note to put the flowers in a vase as you both made your way to your couch you picked up one of to go boxed along with a pair of chopsticks that Miles didn’t know how the hell you ate with before playing the movie
A little while later You looked up to see the boy beginning to massage your legs and feet as you went to protest about him needing to eat he brushed you off shushing you
“Let me take care of you mami” And so you did
💌💌💌💌
short and sweet domestic earth 42 Miles because I said so 🙀
I’ve deleted like 90% of request from my request from my request inbox
I just need a little creative freedom right now
you’re still welcome to request because I will get to it eventually just not as fast 😊
stay safe writers!

Platonic yandere yautja x child reader if u seen my pride um I recommend it the scene where cub nothing attacks a full grown lion but for this child reader was attacked while with a group of pups and was able to kill a xenomorph with a spear through the head
King i love you but please use punctuation😭
If I understood you correctly, you want dad yautja with kid who managed to kill xenomorph with other yautja pups? I hope I understand that right👽😊
I used y/n for kid cuz its easier to write that way, plus i used they/them!
Yautja dad with human kid (they whooped xenomorph)
First of all "WHERE WERE YOU, WITH WHO, WHY YOU BEEN OUTSIDE FOR SO LONG, I TOLD YOU NOT TO HANG OUT WITH OTHER PUPS SO MUCH, WHY DIDINT YOU TELL ME, I WAS SO WORRIED OMG" typical controlling/overprotective perent questions🥱
Dude litteraly banned them from going outside for good month or two
I mean yeah cool cool you- YOU WHAT??? YOU KILLED WHO? W- WHAT
Dude needs proof
But if he saw y/n with yautja pups acually killing that thing? Hes proud and dead at the same time. Like omg yay my baby killed something yay⭐but at the same time OH MY STARS YOU COULD DIE SO MANY TIMES
Hangs xeno head in middle of livingroom so everyone that walks in sees it😊 he is a proud dad
But it doesnt change the fact that you litteraly can't go outside without him around
He also kinda dislikes y/n friends??? Like "ugh really kid? You are hanging out with those bab troublesome pups? You know you can do better? Just stay with me"
Hes jelous and upset that first hunt kid had was with their friends, not him😭
Everytime you guys hang out with other yautjas he gives y/n's friends a death stare
Of course hes proud that his lil baby menaged to hunt down A FUCKING XENOMORPH, he will purr. The issue is that he cant help but imagine what could happen.
Heres little extra, i never write this type of stuff but im bored atm. Tw toxic behaviour?:
Y/n wanted to show off what they hunted with their friends, but the corpse too heavy to carry, so kid just goes to their home, walks up to their dad and tells him that they have gift for him but its outside. They grab his hand and lead him outside, he didnt expect few young yautjas poking dead xenomorph in his backyard for sure. He yells that they should stay away and he pulls put his weapon. He has so many questions all starting with "why", "how" and "when"???
After making sure that the thing is dead and his child didnt suffer any wounds he turns to other pups and starts scolding them, how dumb they are to bring a human pup on a hunt?? Dont they know how dangerous it is.
He would probably yell at them forever if not y/n stepping in and trying to explain that y/n was acually attacked and pups helped, yautjas wanted only good. He kinda didn't expect that, you? His own kid? Stepping in and protecting other people from him? He should be the one viewed as the one whos right and the one you always go for advice! So yeah he didnt take that well. Of course he tried to keep cool around those young hunters but o my god after they went away? Omg expect a lot of offended and angry dad behaviour, he gives them silent treatment for few days or is just simply passive agressive
After all y/n just wanted to feel like rest of their friends. And ironically enough the only one treating y/n like human is her own dad

The Bad Batch Series Finale
FULL DISCLOSURE: This is a vent post. I’m angry and hurt. After I get this out of my system I’ll be more open to discussing the positives of the episode.
Warnings: Ranting, Spoilers
Hooo boy. Okay. I am… less than satisfied?
Quick rundown since I haven’t posted much of anything Bad Batch related: Tech is my favorite Batch member, immediately followed by Crosshair. I’m also a HUGE Republic Commando Nerd (read all the books, played the game, despised Bad Batch as a whole initially because I felt the commandos were being unfairly ignored, can sing + translate Vode An, etc.) and Scorch was my favorite Delta. The Bad Batch grew on me shortly after Season 1 finished up, and I immediately latched onto Tech when I began watching. He’s the reason I watched the first two seasons. (Crosshair + delusions about Tech were the combined force behind watching the final season)
NOW, onto my actual thoughts on the episode, in no semblance of order because my brain is still trying to process, Ft. Cry count:
• Wish Tech was here. He would’ve loved the Zillo being freed.
• “‘Cause I’d do the same thing” no you wouldn’t. Fives would’ve. The you I fell in love with would’ve yelled at Fives about it being a terrible idea and then promptly gone along with it anyway. That said it was a really cute moment and I loved his nonchalant little “come on” afterwards.
• C: “Echo or Omega?” W&H: “Omega” THEY KNOW THEIR GIRL SO WELL
• When Hemlock went to get the operatives I got excited thinking maybe, just maybe we’d get Tech back.
• CROSSHAIR LOST HIS FREAKING HAND!?!? WHAT THE HECK!?! I will never stop being salty about this. He’s been through enough. [Near Tears]
• Rampart sucks
• Nala Se got to blow stuff up and I appreciate that even if I don’t really like her
• I’m glad Wrecker’s okay. He had me scared for a bit. Hunter, conversely, never really did? He’s Omega’s Dad, he had to survive.
• Did anybody else see that one operative whose helmet seemingly had goggles built into it? We had a lingering shot on his helmet for a few seconds and they looked like a red version of Tech’s goggles.
• SCORCH IS DEAD AND YOU’D BETTER BELIEVE I’M MAD ABOUT IT! [First shedding of tears]
• HECK YEAH, HEMLOCK IS DEAD!!! [Tears of relief combined with grief over Scorch]
• I’m so glad Omega hugged Crosshair first. I fully expected her to just run to Hunter, and Crosshair needed that hug.
• Echo’s goodbye was disrespectful. 0/10. He’s family and they don’t even care that he’s leaving???
• SOMEONE IS MISSING FROM OUR NICE LITTLE GROUP SHOT!
• I never really got super invested in the dynamic between Omega and Hunter, but the ending between them was cute I guess.
• We were robbed. We could’ve gotten Crosshair and Wrecker as old men and we were robbed.
• Tech is dead. Like, seriously, really and truly, dead. As a delusional “Tech’s alive guys, trust me” fan, it feels like he just died all over again. I’ll talk more about this later because I’m not over it. [Que sob-fest]
alright, circling back around to my main gripes, in order of appearance:
#1. Scorch.
I hate how they handled him. At first when he showed up I got super excited. That was my boy! In the Bad Batch show!! He’s making an appearance!!! Maybe they’ll do something with the Delta boys!!
Even as the episodes went on and I started to suspect where his path was leading, I consistently would go “Scorch!!! <3” every episode, because that is my boy and I love him dearly.
The levels of offended I am on Scorch’s behalf are not within my ability to express with words. The complete and utter disrespect he was shown over his time on the show is appalling. Why bring him in if you’re going to drain him of all his personality, make him have zero plot relevance, and then murder him?! They could easily have made a new clone for that, as seen by the number of operatives who exist and got 0.5 minutes of screen time.
But no. They brought in a beloved character with 10 seconds of canonical screen time prior, stripped him of everything that made him lovable, didn’t even have him DO ANYTHING, and then murdered him. It feels like a spit in the face and a kick to the gut all at once.
I will mourn. I’ve already cried and I’ll probably cry again. But right now I’m angry and I think Scorch deserves to have people be angry about how he was treated.
#2. Tech
Yes. I admit to having been a “trust me guys, Tech’s alive” person. I will also admit that at the end of episode 13 I wanted him to stay dead because I had zero faith they could satisfactorily bring him back.
My gripe is not with him staying dead. Yes, it feels like losing him all over again. Yes, I will mourn him again. Yes. That sucks. It’s not what’s making me mad.
What makes me mad is how his death was handled.
• It served ZERO purpose narratively other than to up the stakes and make us worry about whether anyone else would die (Spoiler alert: They didn’t. Tech was the only one who died) • Nobody mourned him. No one seemed affected by his death at all. No one cared. I don’t care what anyone says, that will NEVER be okay. • The first actual mention of Tech *dying* was in the finale. Sure, we’ve had name drops and goggle appearances, but actually talking about what happened? One line. One. Freaking. Line.
I feel like I’ve been slapped in the face, you know? He deserved better and so did we. He was a part of that family and they couldn’t even be bothered to address the responses to his death. He was beloved by many of us and they couldn’t even respect him or his fans enough to treat his death like something to be mourned.
That’s wrong, no matter how you look at it.

My Baby Here on Earth, Showed Me What My Heart Was Worth. So, when it Comes to be My Turn Could You Shine it Down Here for Her? ✧.*
Girl Dad!Boothill
Warnings; none!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A\N; the number of times i see that boothill was canonically a girl dad w/ an adoptive daughter breaks my heart. Cause he didn't even get to watch her grow up it makes me cry so hard every damn time. (Boothill watched his daughter’s life be taken in front of his own eyes when his planet was nuked. She had just started to walk he didn't even have the time to make a gravestone cause of the IPC demolishing the entire planet 🙁) BUT ANYWAYS ENJOY THIS UNTIL I POST REQUESTS. (D/N is daughters name)
Tumblr media
Headcanonsˏˋ°•*⁀➷
• He adores his daughter; he's doing anything and everything she wants even if it means he's dressed in a princess outfit.
• Boothill always, I mean always reads his daughter a bedtime story before she falls asleep and sometimes, he falls asleep with her.
• Despite Boothill being a 'robot' or having mechanical body parts, his daughter still loves to take marker and stickers to the metal and draw doodles / put stickers on him.
• Daddy daughter dates / dances are Boothill's entire thing. He's not going to miss the chance to go to his kid's school for a fun dance. He also takes his daughter on multiple fun 'dates' and outings
• 'Competitive' game nights with each other. Playing player against player games with his daughter and purposely loosing so she can be happy.
• Boothill isn't a strict father, but he does have his rules such; as no sugar before dinner (obviously), schoolwork before screen time, no cursing until a specific age etc.
• When his daughter was getting her ears pierced, she got scared so he got his pierced with her, so she wasn't as scared and now they wear matching earrings.
Scenarioೃ⁀➷
There Boothill sat, in the couch that rest dead center of the living room. His little girl sitting on one of his legs, his right arm draped over her as she drew on his metal arm with paint pens. Small doodles with fun colors, the paint pens were scattered on a little tray that always lays in the man's lap along with multiple sticker sheets. There was a soft smile on his face as he watched her color in her doodles. Her tongue stuck out from between her teeth as she focused on staying inside the lines.
He chuckles softly, adjusting his position for something more comfortable for the two of them. "You're not hungry yet, munchkin?" He asked, his southern accent overlapping his words as he glances down at his rainbow-colored arm and then at her. "Not really papa. But goldfish do sound good." She murmurs, not taking her eyes off her drawing.
He smiles, his hand rubbing her back gently. "Alright then, let's go get you some goldfish, baby doll." He said, gently removing the tray of stickers and markers before standing up, her in his arms. He struts over to the kitchen, placing D/N onto the counter as he gets out a bowl to pour the goldfish in. He opens the cabinet where there was the Holy Trinity of all sorts of Goldfish.
There was the rainbow colored ones that were supposed to be all the same taste, but his daughter insisted they tasted different. Pizza goldfish, cupcake goldfish, double chedder goldfish, s'mores goldfish and more. It was like the entire cabinet was full of them but it really wasn't, he just knew that his little girl liked them so much. "Which type do you want?" He asked her, he watched as she pondered her answer.
"The rainbow goldfish!" She said with a bright smile, watching as her dad grabs a the bag of goldfish and poured her some. "Eat up, munchkin." He said, placing the bowl beside her on the counter. She smiled as she starts eating them, she glances at her papa with a bright smile, her mouth slightly full of goldfish. "I love you, papa!" She said all giggly. "I love you too, sweetheart." Boothill says with a soft smile, gently kissing her forehead.

Guilty as sin (rewrite)
Parings: Matt Murdock x Teen!Daughter!reader, Elektra x Teen!Daughter!reader, Stick x Teen!Daughter!reader
Warnings & Content: injuries, mention of blood, abandonment of a child, mommy issues, yelling, shitty beginning, less shitty ending. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I MISSED
A/N: I can’t believe I wrote this lmao, but I’ve been watching waaaaaayyyyy to much Daredevil lmao. Definitely not my best work but idk.
Tumblr media
You were chasing your answers. You didn’t expect to see your dad, let alone stick, and your mother.
her eyes. The moment your eyes locked with hers you knew. You knew because they were yours. You didn’t have your dad’s eyes, so you always assumed you got them from your mother, who she might be. Not a hint of doubt appeared. This was absolutely her. But what the hell was she doing here?
In all the chaos around you and confusion present in your mind, you didn’t see one of the men coming towards you and striking you across the chest. In a single instant, you were on the ground, grasping at your side trying to relive a single ounce of pain, but ultimately failing. Your mind started to go fuzzy. The familiar feeling of your father scooping you into his arms is the one clear thing you can remember. That and the blank stare your mother gave you while being carried away.
“C’mon. Let’s give them space.”
Elektra didn’t move. She couldn’t. A strange feeling came over her, a sense of protection. A daughter had always seemed useless to Elektra, Perhaps that’s why she left. Even now, while her daughter is crying in agonizing pain from the battle she just fought, I feeling of love rushed over her. She admired you. She could tell you were strong. Maybe not physically but your strengths lay in other places. She saw herself in you. You are just like her.
“Ellie.” She pulled out of her trance. “Let’s go.”
She nodded and tried to pull herself together while walking out of the room, giving one more glance towards the pair in the room.
Your father, with your blood on his hands and full of sweat, grabed your hand and continued reciting prayers. 3 Hail Marys, and 1 Our Father over and over and over again. The same prayers he was always given after confession to repent for his sins. Because that’s all he could feel…guilt. He is your father. The person who is supposed to love, care, help, support, soothe, and uplift his daughter…but he failed. Instead of saving her, he almost got her killed. And who knows, maybe you wouldn’t even make it to sunrise. Still, he hoped and prayed that he would.
The next morning was very melancholy. Stick was in the kitchen making some sort of breakfast for everyone (even though no one had an apatite at the moment) Elektra was sitting on the couch staring outside at the bright billboards, and your father was sitting in a chair next to his bed, tuning in on your heartbeat every once and awhile. He heard a knock on the door. It was Stick.
“Ah, there you are Matty. It’s time to eat.”
“I’m good, thanks.”
Stick let out a sigh and just brought a plate to him. “A man’s gotta eat.”
Matt disregarded his comment and the food in front of him, “Stick…will she make it?”
He stood next to Matt, tuning in to hear her breathing for a moment as well, “Well, she isn’t the strongest.” Matt swallowed and looked down. Stick continued, “But if she’s anything like her parents, she’s stubborn as hell.” He started walking away before he added, “Especially her father.”
Elektra looked toward the man in front of her. The man she once knew and wanted more from. The father of her child.
“Matthew-”
“I think you should leave.”
Confusion fell on her face. “W-why?”
“My daughter has just endured hell. If she even wakes up, the last thing I want her to see is the mother who she thought was dead but in reality, left her because she’s too lazy and incapable of loving anything but herself!” Anger fell off his tongue. Elektra didn’t flinch. She showed no sign of scaredness, but she knew he was right. “I just want to talk to her, Matthew. Let me have a conversation with her. Five minutes, and I’ll leave.” Matt sighed. “Huh, like how you left her before?” He pushed. “Please. I don’t want to hurt her, I swear.” He let out another sigh and then continued, “She gets to decide. If she says no, you leave immediately, no questions asked. If she agrees, you get five minutes.” Elektra swallowed, “Deal.”
Another hour passed by. Stick finally convinced matt to take a shower and change, knowing you wouldn’t wake up for a little while longer. Stick was doing some kind of meditation on the floor, while your mother paced back in forth between the chair and sofa trying to think of what exactly she want’s to say to you. Matt exited the bathroom and into his room. Trying to close the sliding door quietly but ultimately failing. The slam woke you up.
“Daddy?”
“Hey, hey, hey. Calm down. It’s just me. I got you.”
You continued to squirm and let out little yelps. “It hurts…a lot.”
“I know my love, but you gotta stay strong for me. Alright?
You nodded.
He kissed the back of your hand then continued, “Good girl.”
The door opened and Stick handed you some medicine to take. Elektra just stood by the door, staring at you. As you sat up to take the meds with some water, your eyes caught hers. All the emotions (but mostly questions) came hurdling back into your brain. ‘So it wasn’t a dream’, you thought to yourself. Your dad turned to Elektra, sensing her in the room. “Give me a moment.” She walked out at his request, wanting to stay on his good side. You lay back down slightly.
“Y/N, listen. I-”
“Is that her?”
“What do your m-”
“Is it?” you asked
“Yes.”
You looked at your father with sad eyes. “You lied to me?” Your voice cracked. All your life, your mother has always been a question to you. A question your father didn’t want to answer. He knew it was cruel to keep the two of you away from each other, every child should get to know a parent. When he became a father, he promised to give you the life he never had, no matter the cost. A mother, however, was not a part of the deal. To be fair, Elektra wasn’t necessarily keen on the idea of a child.
There was no doubt that you were unexpected, but still, your mother was ‘going to try’ to become a good mother and co-parent with Matt, but the truth is as soon as you were born she wanted nothing to do with you. She said she never wanted to see you again and told Matt to never contact her again. Your father, on the other hand, couldn’t believe the amount of love he had for this child. The whole labor was an emotional rollercoaster. But all he could focus on was the beautiful little girl in his arms. His little girl.
Elektra was dangerous, and the last thing he wanted was for his baby girl to be in any sort of danger. So he lied. He knew his ex would never come back (or so he thought) and believed the both of them were better off without her. No matter if it was the right decision or not, it still hurts to know your father lied to you.
“I’m so sorry my love. I promise I will explain everything to you. Everything you want to hear- any question, thought, whatever it is, I will tell you. I promise.”
She latched onto him and cried. He did the same. After a moment of quiet, he continued. “She would like to talk to you.” You broke away from the hug. “What?”
“You can speak with her, only if you want, but I’m only giviI’mher 5 minutes, for now at least. You pondered for a moment, but it didn’t take long to make up your mind. “I don’t want to see her. Ever.” Matt nodded. “Done.” You smiled a little and hugged him
Typical Elektra didn’t keep her promise like normal. You slowly ventured out of your father’s room, trying to regain the ability to walk and aching at the pain in your side. “I’m her mother! I deserve at least one convorsa-” Her eyes went to you. “Y/N…I um…My name is Elektra-”
“Get out.” you said sharply.
“Y/N, just give me a chance-” Your voice rose. “You had your chance years ago. You say you're my mother, but your just the opposite. You are not my mother. I don’t have a mother.”
“Y/N. I think you should-”
“I have a father, who does a better job than anyone ever could, and a crazy uncle who cares for me and treats me like his own! And an aunt who puts up with all my bullshit and never gives on on me! That’s the family I have, and trust me when I say that you will never be a part of that.”
She walked out, not saying a final word. What could she possibly say? Matt closed the door and hugged his daughter tight, whispering sweet nothings into her ear to try and provide some kind of comfort. She pulled away and looked at him. “I love you.” He sighed for what felt like a millionth time. “I love you more than you know.” Out of everything that has happened in the last 12 hours, let alone the secrets kept for the last 15 years, all he could think about at this moment was, “How did I get so lucky?”

Welcome Back
Relationship: Five Hargreeves x Female Reader
Fandom: The Umbrella Academy
Warnings: Cussing, sarcasm, spoilers for season 1
— — — —
Tumblr media
Seeing a family member could be many things. It could be traumatizing. It could be exciting. It could even be crazy. Well, knowing my family, it could be anything but any of those options. As kids, an important family member ran away. To be more specific…he disappeared. I think about him everyday. 
But now…now I think I’m hallucinating him.
“Shit…I should really get a therapist…” I mumble, glancing at my brother at the end of the store aisle. Of course, he was a hallucination. He looked just how he left. A thirteen year old Five Hargreeves. 
He gave me a wide smile, one I haven’t seen in a very long time. His hands were stuck in his pockets as he strode towards me. “(Y/N)...it’s great to see you.” 
I look at my surroundings to make sure nobody would think I’m crazy. I then slowly put the few cans of food that were in my hands on the shelf where they belong, trying to look as normal as possible. “And he talks? What did Klaus put in my food…?” 
Five looks around in confusion, still keeping his smile. “Are you…okay, (Y/N)?”
I lean in towards him since he and I are the same height. “Would you go away? I don’t need hallucinations in my life right now.” I whispered to him.
He scoffs. “You think I’m…” He paused. He grabs my arm a little roughly, but nothing to cause a bruise. He almost yanked me out of my spot. “It’s really me!”
My eyes widened at his little show. He’s real. “Oh my god…Five?” My arms wrap around him tightly in a surprise hug. He grumbles at the contact but lightly taps my back in somewhat comfort. 
“Yeah. yeah, it’s me.” His smile seemed to be fake, or in some kind of sarcasm style. 
“How are you here? And why are you…like this?” I point out.
He looks around while he fidgets. “Long story. I came here to talk to you about something.”
I frown. He really hasn’t changed. “Oh, really? What is it?” I walk across the aisle to grab a couple more cans and head back to my spot. Five followed me around like a baby chick. Well, maybe an angry one.
“The family is back together at home. An apoco-”
“-What? Everyone got back together? When?” I interrupted him. A few more cans are grabbed from the cart.
“You didn’t know? Dad’s funeral.” Five probably got tired of me walking back and forth as he grabbed the box full of cans I was grabbing from. I thanked him quietly while I listened. “He’s dead. A heart attack.”
“Dad died? That’s…interesting.” I shrug my shoulders. “I left as soon as I could. More like Dad helped me move out by buying me a place to live.” I chuckle.
Five looked confused yet upset by the news. “He just…let you leave?”
“Well, yeah. I don’t have any powers, remember?”
“Right. Anyways. There’s an apocalypse coming-”
“-What?!” I jump.
He sighs in agitation. “Would you stop interrupting me?” At this point, the box is completely empty. He tosses it to the side, making it into the half full cart a few feet away. I stay quiet to let him finish. “Thanks. Now, there’s an apocalypse in a few days. We need your help.”
“Why me?”
“Why not? You’re family, are you not?” 
The more we talked, the more frustrated he seemed to be getting. “Look, Five…I can’t. I don’t have any powers.”
“So does Vanya. And she’s waiting at home just like the rest of us. With her family. Are you really gonna stay here working at a shabby store?”
I huff at his comment. “Ouch. It’s not like I can teleport through time and stay as a kid and live a different life.” 
Five pinched his nose. “God damn it. I am not going there.” He mumbles, as if to remind himself not to fight with his own sister. “Just come with us, or I’ll drag you there.”
“Okay, that’s not fair. Those aren’t really options.” I fight back.
He grabs my arm once more, but this time he drags me through the store. “I don’t care. You are coming back home whether you like it or not.”
A part of me craves his attention like I did back then. His sorrowful and smartass moods weren’t very pleasant, but they were what made him…him. The other part wishes I never existed. A life in the Hargreeves family wasn’t something anybody would want. At least my favorite brother was in part of it…
A soft smile spreads on my lips. “So…the uniform still fits?”
He scowls at the fact. “Just shut up and follow me.”

supernatural s1e1 pilot (w. eric kripke)
because my brain is jacked up, i'm weirdly anxious about rewatching the show even though that's been The Plan for months. i watched 15x20 a week (plus) ago and every time i think about starting over at the pilot and writing them up proper like i did around s4-5 onward, my chest kind of clenches up and i look for literally anything else to do. i am worried about having feelings that i'm not prepared to deal with. which is fucking ridiculous.
hold onto your butts, this is gonna be a long fucking post
i've mentioned before that babies in peril is my number 1 hard stop on media -- i stopped watching killing eve mid-episode because of one and never went back to it (i intended to but never happened, brain weasels make everything hard.) so i know the very first time i tried to watch spn (several years ago) i almost turned it off because of little baby sam. that first attempt at watching i wasn't actually fully paying attention, i had it on while i was doing other things and so i missed all the character stuff and only saw it as kind of a mid horror schlocky situation so i never finished the first season back then. when i gave it another go in early 2023, i was giving it my full attention.
Tumblr media
one thing this show always got? the cutest, happiest, sweetest babies. 10/10 would recommend
Tumblr media
already freaking out how young everyone is and happy clean shaven john is extra wild
demon growl sound effect / padalecki's accent & jerk bitch moment
hey, it's the first instance of the demon growl noise when mary's burning on the ceiling! ooh i'm gonna be even more insufferable about the musical score and sound effects now that i'm listening for it from the jump
also i have called padalecki's accent/speech pattern the crispy r based on some tiktok i heard describing it that way - i associate it with california (but these clips are almost the opposite where the R is getting almost eliminated but not in the boston accent way), and i'd say maybe it was a choice but i think he spoke this way in gilmore girls too? but anyway, his Rs are just very different and it's a very particular and kind of subtle accent that definitely doesn't carry through the entire series ("bear it" in the second clip, the "sorry" in the third). i mentioned it when they had a clip of a moment from 1x10 as well in the pre-ep recap for 5x09
really well done and effective effects on that fire in the nursery
Tumblr media
♥️💔
Tumblr media Tumblr media
so this picture made it out of the lawrence fire (it was on mary's nightstand) but not the stanford one? i don't recall it being in the collection
i never really understood where sam was supposed to be timeline-wise in college, other than he must not have graduated because it was october? so there's me googling when you take the LSAT. so he could have (assuming it hasn't changed that much since 2005) taken it in june or october of the calendar year before he graduated. all right so that makes sense now that i think about it for more than 30 seconds. so he didn't finish his last year really of his bachelor's. and he's 22. i think in that alex irvine john winchester diary novel thing (don't think that that's considered canon but that's a whole other can of worms), it said sam graduated high school at 19 instead of 18 so i think that would make things line up (someone made a timeline that also includes everything in that novel but the post is loudly wncest dni so i won't link it). i do know it was just a mistake that the pilot said sam had been gone 2 years.
the ever useful canon discrepancies article at superwiki:
One of the most frequently debated potential canon discrepancies. Here are the facts: - In the 1.01 Pilot, Sam is about to be interviewed for law school, which could work on the assumption that he's just about to finish a bachelor degree (4 years). Dean also says that he hasn't spoken to Sam in "nearly two years." - In 1.03 Dead in the Water, Dean tells Sam that he spent "Every day for two years with Dad, while you were going to pep rallies." - In 1.07 Hook Man, Dean says "So this is how you spent four good years of your life, huh?" when they are researching in the library. - The original promo dates Mary's death to September 13, 1985, consistent with Sam being twenty and having been at Stanford for two years but out of step with everything else in the series. Eric Kripke acknowledged during a panel at the 2006 William S. Paley Television Festival that they made a mistake in the script -- initially Sam was meant to be 20, then they aged him up to 22, but neglected to change Dean's line from "two years" to "four years." Therefore, it may have been the creators' intention that Sam has been at college for four years.
this is gonna take me approximately forever to rewatch episodes 🤪
Tumblr media Tumblr media
keeping my eye out for hands for drawing. have a general idea of getting something early seasons to go in the set with the 15x20 hands.
SAM Yeah? When I told Dad I was scared of the thing in my closet, he gave me a .45. DEAN Well, what was he supposed to do? SAM I was nine years old! He was supposed to say, don't be afraid of the dark.
classic john
SAM Yeah, I know, but still. The way we grew up, after Mom was killed, and Dad's obsession to find the thing that killed her. SAM But we still haven't found the damn thing. So we kill everything we can find. DEAN We save a lot of people doing it, too.
one thing i'm thinking about is how i definitely was under the impression that they really didn't know any other hunters until they start getting mentioned here and there (dropping bits of backstory about working jobs with xyz while sam was at school etc), and that they barely knew anything about demons. so i'm curious to see how much of that is me misremembering
SAM You think Mom would have wanted this for us? The weapon training, and melting the silver into bullets? Man, Dean, we were raised like warriors. DEAN So what are you gonna do? You're just gonna live some normal, apple pie life? Is that it? SAM No. Not normal. Safe. DEAN And that's why you ran away. SAM I was just going to college. It was Dad who said if I was gonna go I should stay gone. And that's what I'm doing.
classic john x2. i know it's the pilot, i know they're bombing us with backstory like they need to, but i'm just like. everything about this ends up being pretty essential to understanding them and how they were raised it's so much 😩
Tumblr media Tumblr media
DEAN I can't do this alone. SAM Yes you can. DEAN Yeah, well, I don't want to.
excuse me while my heart breaks into little bits. i knew that line in 15x20 was a callback to this, and it was heartbreaking then too. well actually it makes feel slightly ill rereading that scene from the finale. too emotionally invested
DEAN It started happening more and more, so Dad went to go dig around. That was about three weeks ago. I hadn't heard from him since, which is bad enough. DEAN Then I get this voicemail yesterday. He presses play. The recording is staticky and the signal was clearly breaking up. JOHN Dean...something big is starting to happen...I need to try and figure out what's going on. It may... Be very careful, Dean. We're all in danger.
so he coulda like. told dean he was ditching him for his safety in this sketchy vague voicemail, but then of course we wouldn't have them chasing him down with quite the same mystery. it's just kind of comical.
like this post puts it:
spn season 1 is so funny. they made the main plot line finding sam and dean’s missing father. but like. the guys not missing. he’s just avoiding them.
i'm sure (i hope???) every rewatch post isn't going to turn into a dissertation like this. good grief
hey. i was gonna mention that music was quite inoffensive and not bad at all and was about give old jay a pat on the back, but no! it's christopher lennertz lol. my ear always knows. so that's the originator of the demon growl sound
Tumblr media Tumblr media
SAM It's the greatest hits of mullet rock. DEAN Well, house rules, Sammy. Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole. SAM You know, Sammy is a chubby twelve-year-old. SAM It's Sam, okay?
i mean so many classic interactions i can't handle it. also, real shame netflix didn't/wouldn't get the licensing for the music originally aired. i have the blurays but i'm down a functional bluray player so here i am, watching on netflix with shitty replacement music yet again. that scene should have had ramblin man and back in black. travesty. back when they splashed out for the good licensed music (and i usually was on board with lennertz's selections)
the comment about them being a little young for federal marshals (also in their kinda scruffy clothes lol) and wikipedia says:
Marshals Service hiring is competitive and comparable to the selection process for Special Agent positions in agencies with similar duties. Typically fewer than five percent of qualified applicants are hired [citation needed] and must possess at a minimum a four-year bachelor's degree or competitive work experience (which is usually three or more years at a local or state police department).
so i mean, sounds like it's doable! barely. (i'm not even halfway through the episode lol)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
stepping on dean's foot, smacking sam's head. very good sibling stuff
Tumblr media
meanwhile we're gonna pop jackles in some bomb ass golden hour lighting so we can get his pretty, pretty face looking even prettier. lighting doesn't match any other part of the scene, but if you can get them lit up in it, we're using it!
SHERIFF Can I help you boys? DEAN No, sir, we were just leaving. As the FBI AGENTS walk past DEAN, he nods at each of them. DEAN Agent Mulder. Agent Scully.
respect to the og (that was the show of my youth and my forever otp and also my first impression of sam and dean's relationship was mid-run mulder and scully)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
s1e1 r.d. call as sheriff pierce / the x-files s1e18 as sheriff daniels
oh! and this sheriff was a sheriff in an xfiles episode, that's even better! that's brilliant. love to see it
Tumblr media
those jeans and before dean had his signature logger boots which i didn't apparently really notice until s6
DEAN Yeah, Troy told us about you. We're his uncles. I'm Dean, this is Sammy.
uncles??? lol
Tumblr media Tumblr media
another thing i remember really liking is these random girls aren't like.. tv pretty makeup. they're just random gothy girls with stark harsh eye makeup and lipstick and matte heavier foundation. like real people do! it just makes it feel more grounded in reality to me when not everyone's makeup is tv-perfect
Tumblr media
y'all. look at this! so i have talked a lot about the computer stuff, whenever there's a screen (in any show i'm watching) i'll pause and check out the veracity. teen wolf had laughably fake web page mockups. and one thing i do recall noticing in this episode was real webpage urls! and even in the printouts which comes later. which they did not do consistently in spn seasons after this at all until much later
Tumblr media Tumblr media
classic. truly. more smacks and shoves. it's okay, sammy. i also am a little bit of a control freak especially when it comes to computer stuff. JUST LET ME DO IT.
DEAN Monday. Right. The interview. SAM Yeah. DEAN Yeah, I forgot. You're really serious about this, aren't you? You think you're just going to become some lawyer? Marry your girl? SAM Maybe. Why not? DEAN Does Jessica know the truth about you? I mean, does she know about the things you've done? SAM No, and she's not ever going to know. DEAN Well, that's healthy. You can pretend all you want, Sammy. But sooner or later you're going to have to face up to who you really are.
dean's got a point there. which reminds me, did blurry wife know the truth? i remember there was some blurb about the story behind sam's kid having the anti-possession tattoo
wiki to the rescue
Though Sam's son has an anti-possession tattoo on his arm, there are no other signs of hunting in Sam's life after he leaves the Bunker. Jared confirmed at the November StageIt panel that Sam has not been hunting "in honor of Dean" because Dean wouldn't have wanted him to, but that Sam did tell his son about hunting and about his Uncle Dean, and that the decision to get the tattoo was Dean II's.
so probably yes?
Tumblr media
(hands)
SAM And who's that? DEAN You're one of us. SAM No. I'm not like you. This is not going to be my life. DEAN You have a responsibility to— SAM To Dad? And his crusade? If it weren't for pictures I wouldn't even know what Mom looks like. And what difference would it make? Even if we do find the thing that killed her, Mom's gone. And she isn't coming back.
oh, sam. these early days he was chafing so hard against what other people wanted him to do. also relatable. and if only we knew about mary🥴
Tumblr media Tumblr media
sam enjoying dean's predicament
SAM Salt, cat's eye shells…he was worried. Trying to keep something from coming in.
cat's eye shells?? don't think that ever got mentioned again
Tumblr media
LOL okay, so the url isn't perfect 😂 missing forward slashes and no underscores in domain names, but they tried!!
Tumblr media
huh. another family picture i don't recall seeing again. kind of backwards, longer brown hair on supposedly dean and short lighter hair on supposedly sam
so did dean grab john's leather jacket at this point? since he showered and changed in john's motel room. i hadn't thought about that. huh
SAM You can't kill me. I'm not unfaithful. I've never been! CONSTANCE You will be. Just hold me.
i know this comes up in fic periodically but i don't think that went anywhere, like the cat's eye shells
LOL i didn't remember that the woman in white resolution was her ghostly murdered children conveniently take her out
Tumblr media
DEAN Hey, if we shag ass we could make it by morning. SAM Dean, I, um... DEAN You're not going. SAM The interview's in like, ten hours. I gotta be there. DEAN Yeah. Yeah, whatever. I'll take you home.
there's so many moments in this episode that i've seen in gifs and didn't realize were all from the pilot. but it's really interesting to me to see how like.. the show really kind of pushed how much dean needed/wanted sam and sam was resisting, and how i think it really set up dean as the more "likeable" character initially, along with showing off his pretty face and charm and all that. on a brain-characterization level, i always relate more to sam but i was definitely charmed by dean initially.
SAM Call me if you find him? SAM And maybe I can meet up with you later, huh? DEAN Yeah, all right. DEAN Sam? DEAN You know, we made a hell of a team back there. SAM Yeah.
the only thing that i think makes this episode not quite paced right is how they crammed jess dying at the end and the we've got work to do thing. it felt really rushed and slapped on. but other than that, what a great pilot. ranks up there with the hannibal pilot

oh, you have to elaborate on single parent AU for jaykyle. Please. I’m also a major sucker for those
(aalghul’s main blog)
don't mind if I DO
so this is a canon divergence AU where Jason, as part of his whole crime lord thing, puts people under his protection. kids, specifically. street kids with nowhere else to go, orphans, kids who have been kicked out, kids on the run, etc. (this is the part based on my friend's fic that got me thinking about this btw.) he finds a place for them to stay. an old warehouse gets fixed up and furnished, and there's a small kitchen area, a dining room, bedrooms for the kids. they don't have to stay permanently; in fact, most don't. they come and go as they please and stay as long as they like, because Jason doesn't think kids should "age out" of a place to stay. there are a handful of regulars who don't have anywhere else to go so it's more of a permanent home for them, but there's also a lot of kids who stay for a few days and then leave again. Jason keeps the kitchen and pantry stocked with food and makes sure there's enough beds and blankets for everyone, and he keeps those streets safe from any other crime boss who might be muscling in on his territory. (he also keeps the Bats out because a lot of those kids might be hiding from them too)
he starts out being their distant and kinda intimidating protector, but eventually he ends up being the Dad of the entire group. he makes sure they get to where they need to go safely and plays board games with them sometimes etc etc because those kids grew on him, ok?! most of them have never had a positive experience w parents or have never had anyone to take care of them and he has the means to be able to at least give them a safe place to sleep and---oh my god he's turned into Bruce
fast forward to the final crisis shit, Kyle and Jason became....not Friends, per se, but Allies. people who are (usually) on the same side and can (usually) work together. anyway after that fun little adventure those three (Kyle Jason Donna) kinda just...check in every so often. make sure everyone's ok. they've been through a lot together so they just like to make sure nobody's dead or needs help (I don't think they ever interacted as a group after the search for ray palmer shit which is a CRIME.) anyway Kyle comes back from space and shows up to Gotham for the Annual Obligatory Check-In only to find that Jason has an entire warehouse full of kids. and now Kyle sees a completely different side of Jason that's....not softer than before, but gentler. he's still the fucking Red Hood, and comes home with blood and gunpowder on his clothes, but he also reads to some of the younger kids when they can't fall asleep. he walks the girls to school so nobody tries anything with them. he helps with homework and makes sure everyone's eaten enough.
after the first few visits the kids figured out that Kyle was friendly, and gave him the same treatment they gave Jason: treating him like a jungle gym. they found out Kyle could draw and make shit with his ring and they realized he was Really Cool. once they figured out he'd been to space it was all over. suddenly Kyle was the coolest adult in the world. even cooler than Jason.
so of course Kyle has to keep showing up to the warehouse or he'll disappoint the kids!!!!
and thus begins a new rivalry between them: who can be the Coolest Dad
in the meantime they're slooooowly falling in love and dancing around each other because "he only keeps coming for the kids it's not me" and "he has an entire horde of people to take care of he doesn't have time or energy for me" and like. watching each other interact/care for the kids in their own specific ways and sharing a space (because Kyle started staying at the warehouse because it's hard to pay rent when he's in space most of the time) and just. Being In Each Other's Space All The Time. them falling in love was inevitable, really. but because they're Like That they're dancing around the subject like the world's biggest elephant in the room
meanwhile all the kids just Know. they're sitting there watching this proverbial mating dance like "oh COOL we have TWO superhero dads now!!!"
some scenes that this fic will include (assuming I ever get my shit together enough to WRITE it):
one of the kids being mugged on the street and the poor criminal immediately getting curbstomped by Red Hood AND Green Lantern
Jason and Kyle cooking dinner together (because I'm a slut for domestic vibes don't touch me)
Jason braiding the girls' hair and calling the kids petnames
Jason sending Kyle pics and selfies of the kids while he's away in space and Kyle saving all of them <3
Kyle bringing space souvenirs for the kids (they go absolutely buckwild over them)
one of the girls (an orphan) having a Daddy-Daughter Date at school and she asks Jason to come as her dad (he cries)
Kyle tying Jason's tie before he leaves for said Daddy-Daughter Date
basically this whole fic is just
Jason: I gotta take care of my kids
Kyle:
Tumblr media
"our kids"

do you think we should forgive people who havw hurt us? even if they aren't sorry or even aware of the hurt theyve caused? you dont hava to respond to this if you dont want to , but i am just thinking, is it actually wise to let specific people exist in my life , (a parent) when they are delusionally unaware of the lifelong damage theyve caused me (and will never understand), or anyone really. Is there a point in.. getting angry, when they oncr again show that they really dont know or care. Still, i enjoy talking to them. So im thinking that maybe forgiving would be better . but i feel like that way i might be gaslighting myself. Have you ever read anything on this?
there is a good book on this anon, "adult children of emotionally immature parents", u can read it online for free if u google the PDF. it is monumentally eye opening. other than that, i can speak from my own experience w/ my parents. i'll put it under readmore cus im bout to get a lil personal;
so, basically, i have one parent, my mom, because my dad has been dead for over 15 years. my parents were alcoholics who worked full time dead end jobs and we never had a close relationship, but i was closer to my dad. when he died, my mom absolutely lost her mind, like, maybe this is dramatic but i do pretty much consider myself an orphan because in 2006 i lost both of them. my mom chose booze, despite the fact that it made her act completely volatile and disturbed, she chose the liquor over me n my sister. my sister is an extrovert and she started spending All her time at other ppl's houses so i was constantly alone with my mom. the emotional abuse she dealt me after my dad's death i think are the wounds within me that truly can never be healed. worse than having to watch him die. my mother would berate me for everything i did, my appearance, the fact i was flunking school, my friends, and most of all, she would always remind me that i am a bad daughter who doesn't love her enough. once i started w the suicide attempts her abuse and guilt trips only got worse. i made a lot of reckless decisions just trying to get away from her. i still feel immeasuable guilt that she is my only living parent but i can't be her daughter. i havent seen her in 3 years..
now that the context is out of the way, here's how i feel about forgiveness: you HAVE to forgive. you have to. for your own sake. to free yourself. for me, when im so so belligerently angry at my mom, i imagine her as a child. i think of her childhood where she was born to a 16 y/o polish ww2 orphan girl and a 17 y/o fatherless boy who had already been thru several detention camps + was forced to join the navy to avoid jail time. i think of the stories she'd tell me from her childhood where she constantly moved from trailer park to trailer park, the caretaker of her 3 younger sisters while her parents worked, her dad often disappearing for months at a time w no explanation, her mother in and out of psych wards. she's always casually bringing up how her parents would beat her if the trailer wasn't spotless when they got home. she was mercilessly bullied at school for being poor so she's never had many friends. she never got any education and has worked retail/cashier positions her whole life. she had to watch her husband slowly waste away, then go right back to work so we could just barely afford to eat. i think of all these factors and it's so so easy to forgive her, despite it all. like if i could reach into her chest and grab her heart and pour all of the forgiveness inside of me into her body just so she could feel happy and light for one single day, i would do it. we are all so broken and forgiveness is the only way we can ever put things back together.
that being said anon...i still have an immensely hard time talking to her. every time we talk on the phone she immediately just starts dumping all of her problems onto me, like how she used to do when i was a kid and she was drunk. she refuses to acknowledge she could ever possibly benefit from therapy. she can't even begin to acknowlege the ways she hurt and abused me. she is deeply, deeply emotionally immature. when i talk to her it rly feels like im talking to a severely damaged child. our conversations are short. i dont tell her anything about my life, i never have. we'll never be close, i've accepted it. sometimes i have days where i'm so angry at her that im ready to send myself to the psych ward over it. but the damage is done, it cant be taken back, only moving forward. and at the end of the day, i forgive her. and i want her to be ok.
i'm not sure what's happened to you with your parent anon, but just know, you can forgive from afar, you don't have to keep engaging with them if they continuously harm you. i really really reccomend reading adult children of emotionally immature parents. its only like 200 pages and you'll fly through it. like i said, available for free as a pdf online. i wish you the best anon and im sorry you have to go thru this but you're not alone. #<333

Fucken wild idea (you can use it if you want, I'll probs never make a fic in my life, I cant write for shit)
Jinx has a mental breakdown while living with Silco at like age 14 (before Vi gets out of prison) and thinks she's going to jinx Silco and getting independence for Zaun and pulls a journey to the west (yes I have been rereading the jttw don't @ me) and goes on a pilgrimage to find enlightenment/ how tf not to be a Jinx to everyone around me, everyone thinks she's fucken dead coz this was entirely impromptu, including Ekko and Zeri (she's there). And Jinx just kinda travels the world meeting new people making enemies and friends along the way including one "special" Demacian *wink* *wink*. She ultimately makes her way to shurima (note Janna has been guiding her journey) and finds like this sunken temple that was dedicated to Janna full of forgotten ancient relics and scripture detailing Zaun and Jannas history. And Jinx is all like tf do I do? And Janna visits her in her dreams and is like, daughter of mine, rewrite our old scripture and traditions into modern zauns language and once you've done become my priestess and bring back our culture to Zaun. And jinx is like seems legit and does that for like 2 and a half years (she's like 18 after this) and makes her way back to Zaun
Meanwhile back at the twin city's, Caitlyn broke Vi out of prison to help with her investigation, Vi finds out from sevika that jinx is probs dead, and Ekko basically confirms it, shit happens Zaun gets it's independence, a year goes by and Jinx 5 years older one pilgrimage and religious awakening later has finally made it back home to Zaun and Silco, Silco of course is ecstatic to have his daughter back and wants to show off to Zaun and Piltover that the princess and heir of Zaun has finally returned, Jinx is like umm dad, Ive had like a religious awakening and such and went on a pilgrimage across the world and I brought back a bunch of scripture of Janna and the church of the storm and I'm basically a priestess now can we umm get Jannas old church back up and running? Silco of course agrees, anything for his little girl. A gala at Piltover rolls around and what's the best way to announce the return of the princess of Zaun then to upstage a piltoven event? So Jinx and slico and the other chembarons go to the gala and guess who's there, Caitlyn, Vi, Ekko and Zeri also Lux and a bunch of Jinx's friends from around the world (jinx has so many political connections it's scary)
You can kinda imagine what happens next, Vi , Ekko and Zeri freak the fuck out, Jinx/powder is alive what? Ekko and Zeri are like do we need to fight she works for Silco, but this is a gala and Jinx is clearly been invited judging by her dress. While Vi is all like at first HOLY SHIT POWDER IS ALIVE, WHAT THE FUCK IS SILCO DOING WITH HER, WHY THE FUCK IS HE WITH HER, GET TF AWAY FROM MY SISTER! Jinx is like Vi wtf ,don't make a scene and drags her off. Caitlyn is all the while awkwardly standing there not really know what to do but be kinda excited to know that vis innocent baby sister is alive, and is like new sister pog as well as the fact she seems to be very close to a Crownguard who has been basically been a bodyguard and shadowed her the entire evening which can only mean good things(Ekko never had the heart to tell Vi jinx worked for Slico, and Vi just talked about her little sis to Cait all the time and Cait has gotten attached to her even tho she's never met her)
Eh can't be bothered to keep going, it's like past 12 am for me and I need to do work tomorrow
Night clown
We Prince of Egypt AU now, love it (I know the movie is based on the bible, but I've never read it so Prince of Egypt AU it is). Jinx having a spiritual journey just like Moses did while wandering through a desert.
You could almost cut everything and just focus on Shurima adventures too, especially if you wanted to have Jinx interaction with the colourful Shurima champs (or actively try to ignore them while doing her translations only to have them constantly bug her). Jinx could still have traveled all over the place, but you could keep it to backstory or references just to keep the story focused, anything you'd want more detail in could just be side stories.
Like Jinx has holed up in an old catacomb or something and just is constantly interrupted. Nasus could stop in to teach her how to read ancient Shuriman (useful, Jinx likes), which then makes Renekton come bursting in to fight (even when Nasus isn't there and after the first couple times of Jinx actually fearing for her life she just kinda gets used to it and tells him Nasus isn't there much to Renekton's disappointment).
Sivir could show up initially thinking it was a new tomb to explore only to find Jinx, somehow they hit it off and Sivir starts bugging her to raid tombs together since Jinx is an explosives expert + her lessons with Nasus means she can read ancient Shuriman and knows a lot about old architecture.
That could then lead Azir (leaning on his interactions with Sivir from LoR) to showing up trying to use Jinx as a means of getting close with Sivir or even just learning what she's doing, because she wants nothing to do with him. He'd just call her Scribe or something like "Scribe, how was my great granddaughters day? Did she....mention me at all?" Have Azir go off on "For your usefulness to me over the years I shall consider you an honorary Shuriman when Shurima finally rises to its true splendor under my rule! Feel pride in earning such a status Scribe! Maybe even Royal Scribe may be in your future should such usefulness continue!" to which Jinx just goes "Yeah sure, cool."
Taliyah could be the one normal friend she actually likes to see because when she see's Jinx is busy she'll just come back another time while leaving a note. They can go sand surfing together and Taliyah would deliver Jinx's mail correspondence with the other people she met on her journey to keep in touch.
Not really sure about the other Shuriman champions. Would be funny if Jinx went "You know, I think you're my favourite of all the Shuriman weirdos I've met, you keep things simple y'know?" towards Rammus who just responds with "OK" While with Amumu it's "Y'know I get you, but I'm still not hugging you. Maintain our agreed upon distance."
The reason so many years pass before Jinx finally leaves is because of the constant interruptions, but through it she ascends (hehe) to a level of patients not previously thought possible. She gets so used to dealing with the constant interruptions from these Gods and other powerful beings she doesn't even blink and just accepts it.
Upon actually returning to Zaun would be kinda funny if people were more weirded out at how incredibly mellow Jinx is than the fact she's actually back.
At that Gala would be where she could interact with the others she met on her journey. Everyone could be weirded out at the Shuriman delegates just approaching Jinx going "Scribe, Emperor Azir wishes to seek your wisdom on a most important topic. He wishes to know if you have any knowledge as to what Lady Sivir's favourite food might be? Emperor Azir wishes to gift her such for his upcoming visit."
Idk, does sound like a fun idea that I might possible look into doing something for (adding it to the pile ;-;) since Shurima is a pretty neat place which also bleeds into my childhood love of Egypt (I wanted to be an Egyptologist as a kid :3).

Character Analysis
THE BASICS: 
Character’s name: Arthur Varmont
Role in story:  Prince
Physical description:  Bradley James ;D
Age: 26
MBTI: ESTP (the entrepreneur)
Enneagram: Type 2 (the helper), 2w3, 278
Zodiac: Aries
INTERNAL: THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER
What is his/her greatest fear?  Of being unlovable, unwanted, unworthy of love even if he ~could engender it
Inner motivation: To feel loved, to be loved, to express his feelings for others, to be needed and appreciated, to get others to respond to him, to vindicate his claims about himself
Kryptonite: Being taken for granted
What is his/her misbelief about the world?  He’s not good enough for his father, family, or country and thus they will never truly need, love, or accept him (ouch), smth that’ll be confirmed when his lil bro inevitably takes the crown <3 bc he def believes, deep down, that this is what will happen
Lesson he/she needs to learn: His status re: the throne has no bearing on his worth!!!  And also oh yeah he ~is lovable
What is the best thing in his/her life?  Adventure!  Excitement!  Proving himself by proving his worth to others by great and extravagant deeds (and endlessly, endlessly talking himself up)!  Making his family members (any and all of them, alike!) smile!  Feeling needed!  Esp by ppl he cares about!  Being hailed as a champion!  Pretty maidens raining rose petals down on his head as he enters, triumphant, into a city!  Basically any spectacle or moment (but esp the spectacle variety) that he feels like his dad might think was pr rad!  Honestly anything and everything dramatic that makes him look good ;D  Mirrors, bc he’s pretty and he knows it!  ;D also, to that end, pretty maidens sighing over him, etc!  Basically anything that makes him feel like a big man!
What is the worst thing in his/her life?  His dad!  The race for the throne!  He’d do just about anything to make his dad proud, but like also???? he actually does love his bro & sis???? but he’s forced into this competition w them????  And so he’s, like, gotta choose between making his dad proud and mom happy and fulfilling his own sense of self-worth, vs, like, destroying his own little brother & big sister????  And lbr it sucks!!!!!  (Cue the ~Renly’s peach~ symbolism motif etc tho hopefully it won’t come to ~that extreme #yikes)
What does he/she most often look down on people for?  Selfishness, lack of honor, cowardice, disloyalty to the crown/any and all (even perceived) disrespect for his dad (for whom he has a cultish devotion), weakness
What makes his/her heart feel alive?  Those few good moments w his family esp his ~whole fam and most of all those few and sparse moments when his father has shown pride in him!!!!!!!! (even better if he showed affection or even basic respect but let’s not get too crazy here), shared warmth and affection w/ ppl he cares about, little simple and frankly wholesome moments like breaking warm bread w friends and loved ones <3, being really really good at bashing swords around!, being hot, that one court poet who composed a ballad in his honor (only mostly bc he was paid to but shhh)
What makes him/her feel loved, and who was the last person to make them feel that way?  Honestly just simple appreciation of any kind!  But esp if he’s needed in some way!  Tell you need him in your life and you’ve got his loyalty forever!! (tho you might not actually want that tbqh bc lbr he’s a piLL ~c’est moi plays not so softly in the bg 24/7 etc~), tbh if anyone showed him even an ounce of genuine affection he’d probs drop dead on the spot! (*one of his knights affectionately slaps his back* *he’s immediately choked up and has to retreat to privacy to cry a lil ngl even tho he 100% has to play it off cool until he can slip away*), anyway idk but probs his sister, mom, or full bro in terms of who made him feel that way idk for sure yet obv but i feel like they’re probs his primary source of affection
Top three things he/she values most in life?  Whelp, tragically enough the thing he values most is 100% his father’s impressions, opinions, and nebulous feelings!!!!!  So like his #1 goal in life as a human being is to make dad proud but sadly his dad is 1) too stressed by running an empire and his own fear of worthlessness (you can read more abt that in his vers of this when i get that up), and too self-absorbed to notice, 2) too impressed by smarts to ever really fully credit his less intelligent son w anything, and 3) has absolutely insanE standards and will never, ever, ever be proud of anyone, ever, including himself and if his son ~were somehow to gain that he’d have so eclipsed his dad (bc we’re talking literally god-tier accomplishments atp which are obv beyond human capacity) that his dad would actually hate him and lowkey want to destroy him (in order to prove that he, himself, is worthwhile and not just some patsy compared to his own son but, tbf, he ~would be proud of him even while trying to destroy him and aint no one else allowed to destroy his boy etc etc etc) so <33333 good luck w all of that!!!!!!  but anyway, uhhhhhh, the other two things he most values are the rest of his family (sorry, guys!), and his own awesomeness! *high fives his reflection* jk jk its just simply wholesome good times and genuine human connection but shhhhh you didn’t hear that from me
EXTERNAL: NOT NECESSARY, BUT GOOD TO KNOW AND SAYS A LOT ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER
What’s his/her favorite book, movie, and band?  Band of brothers, all the various spidermen, superhero stuff in general, mr & mrs smith, two mules for sister sarah, the happier arthurian stuff (knights, chivalry, etc) but not the sadder/more srs ones sm probs tbqh, pr much every buddy movie under the sun tho he’d claim to prefer smth more macho like GoT but tbh i don’t see him ~actually enjoying that that much bc #tooreal hahaha he’d also really like lots of romcoms tho he’d rather die than admit it – batb?  p&p?  he’d love it!!  i mean, they’re all about seeing through exteriors and wanting and needing ppl for who they really are and he’d be such a sucker for that!!!!! but again he’d never admit it <3  he’s more of an athlete so he probs wouldn’t read that much in a world where there’s tv/movies, but he’d love all things bbc robin hood!!!  honestly the ~whole found family trope would get him badddddd, for music he’d probs like mumford & sons, imagine dragons, deep purple, pink floyd – lyrical but w a touch of an edge?
Is there an object he/she can’t bear to part with and why?  His sword!  He’s honestly really great at all that jazz and he likes to rub everyone’s face in it smh
Describe a typical outfit for him/her from top to bottom.  Probs a linen shirt that’s ‘carelessly’ but nonetheless artfully slightly open to show off his sculpted body but w/o making it obv that’s what he’s about smdh, a leather belt for the same reason but also bc #sword, and idk trousers of some type probs really nicely sourced but meant not to look like it bc he secretly loves luxury but like???? wants to seem like he’s too macho to notice smh, really nice leather boots which are great bc they’re super nice but also he doesn’t need to defend it bc they’re also obv super practical win/win!
What names or nicknames has he/she been called throughout their life?  arthur, my lord, your highness??
What is his/her method of manipulation?  Boasting/showing off, medieval!fantasy double dog daring, flirtation, compliments, witticisms, stepping over others bc he’s a big risk taker and he likes to show off and get ahead oops
Describe his/her daily routine.  Getting up super early to go train, hanging w the boys and bashing them w swords and lances #truefriendship, a feast w the boys for lunch, riding out on the town, hitting the tavern, gambling, a party in the evening!  basically all those stereotypical macho/jock things!!!  these are the sorts of things he ~thinks his dad approves of, so they’re the things he does and that he tells himself he enjoys tho tbh he probs wouldn’t like any of them quite so much in other circumstances ngl bc all he really wants is genuine human connection and affection and to be useful to others and frankly he’s getting precious little of any of that ngl
Their go-to cure for a bad day?  i feel like he likes to go hang out w his little sister bc she’s the one sibling he doesn’t have to compete w, plus he can be ~gentler w her anyway bc she’s ‘just a girl’ and knights treat ladies gently and all he wants is to treat and be treated gently but shhhh you didn’t hear that from me, plus also she’s the only woman in his life who isn’t really pressuing him bc his mom would probs reminds him – whether intentionally or not – that he needs to be out there impressing his dad etc, and even just other rando ladies are expecting him to do that but it doesn’t really matter to his younger sister bc she’ll be the sister of the next ruler regardless of which of them it is etc.  anyway!  basically he just wants a few wholesome pleasures and some affection and that’s just about it <3 but short of that he’ll resort to getting drunk :( and depending what their relationship ends up being like (since i feel like this isn’t the ~healthiest family dynamic in the world alksdjfkjlsdf) he might just skip the hangout and go straight for the drink so who knows, anyway the point here is that he doesn’t really know how to make himself feel ok when the armor of bravado breaks down which does happen from time to time bc no one can keep up an act 24/7 :/
CHARACTER GOALS:
How is your character dissatisfied with their life?  His life is basically cultivated entirely to be a hellish trap for his entire personality!!!  There is no part of this he ~actually enjoys!  Everything he wants is everything he can’t have and he feels trapped and ultimately completely alone and unwanted and unlovable all of which btw are his v worst fears in this life so <3  plus, if he ever gives up on this competition that flies in the face of all that, he feels like he’ll just be confirming that all of those fears are 100% true so its lose/lose all the time
What does your character believe will bring them true happiness or contentment?  The crown!  But that’s a trap bc it can never make him happy in actuality once the coronation party is over <3
What definitive step could they take to turn their dream into a reality?  His real dream, which he doesn’t acknowledge to himself, is to escape all of this and live a simple life of love and affection but, like, he doesn’t even really know this is a possibility at all and, even if he did, he wouldn’t think it was for ~him bc he believes he’s unlovable :(  so!!  he would tell you, and truly believe, that becoming the next emperor is his dream!  and proving himself more capable than his bros is the only answer to that.  ironically, failing this tho is the only ~real way to be happy <3
How has their fear kept them from taking this action already?  afraid of proving himself unworthy of love to his dad, he will never, ever, ever persue a simple life!
How does your protagonist feel they can accomplish their goal while still steering clear of the thing they are afraid of?  if he becomes emperor, he will be utterly happy AND he will have proven his value!!!! its the perfect plan!!!!!!!!

The Little Things I Love About ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE
Tumblr media
Just like the one I did for PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH, and just like the one I did for STRANGE WORLD, here's a little list of particular little details I loved in a detail-packed... Like, literally jampacked movie... SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE:
So far, I have only seen this movie once all the way through in theaters, caught multiple sections over and over at my movie theater job, and again in full on Blu-ray once. I've watched and rewatched sections since, always finding cool stuff. I may revisit the post and update it, too, like I did w/ the previous ones.
Also, MASSIVE SPOILERS ahead... Just in case you still haven't seen this months-old movie...
Much like the first SPIDER-VERSE... Tons of stuff to catch in the glitching opening logos. Logo/design p0rn aaaaall around.
There's already a lot to love in the opening Medieval Vulture attack set-piece, but my favorite detail? As an Italian-American? "Ciao, ragazza!" Complete with the parchment paper script "Bye, girl!" accompanying it. Any elementary school-age kid watching this now knows a little Italian, that's cool!
Lyla's first scene in the movie. Whichever version, too, whether it's the fist-bump or the selfie... I love how she just glitches and zips in and out, while Miguel keeps asking her in vain to call for back-up. Just an out-of-nowhere display of what kind of quirky relationship these two have...
Many have written about the scenes of Gwen and her father, Captain George Stacy, and how they hit very close to home. In that, they perfectly mirror some folks' experiences with coming out. Myself included, whether it's Miles or Gwen... It's even more effective with Gwen, because there are a lot of not-so-subtle hints that she could be a trans girl. (i.e. the dad having a trans flag on his uniform, Gwen having a "protect trans kid" flag, her room turning into trans flag pastel colors when she reconnects with her father at the end of the movie, etc.) I feel it's twice as hard-hitting in the opening action sequence because Captain Stacy has no idea the white-and-pink Spider-Woman is his daughter, loathes Spider-Woman for not-unfounded reasons (he's rightfully upset that Peter Parker is dead) but is taking it way too far (revenge territory), and he's also a cop. Here's this girl trying to reason with a hardened gun-wielding tough guy, who even fires the gun, prompting Gwen to remove the mask... And all the little complexities in the animated acting on George's face, the shock of his daughter being Spider-Woman, mixed with his grief over Parker's death and his sheer anger... It's maybe a minute or two, but goddamn did these animators go off. That's what anchors these movies amidst all the nerd/reference-stuff, spectacle, and dynamic changing art styles.
And to elaborate on this... This is basically a movie about a queer kid running off, without a home, while another one tries to find their people and be with them... Not prepared for the gatekeeping that's ahead... and some of us queers either experience something like those specific things or have a feeling of not belonging. (I also really dig how Jessica Drew is almost like a surrogate mother for Gwen, a parent of sorts who takes her in after showing her father who she is. Almost, as her protectiveness soon starts to wear off and gives way to sarcastic coldness after Gwen pays Miles a visit.) And the little nuances of both of their struggles trying to make it in this truly "elite" Spider-Society. It works perfectly through either Miles' lens or Gwen's.
Lots of graphic design and logos in that short convenience store scene, too. Lots for someone like me to look for.
The Spot seems to have linework going on inside him, of his anatomy and structure... Not dissimilar to the Xerography process used by Disney for animated productions from 1960 to 1985, and how the process overriding the clean-up animation process meant that you saw lots of rough linework, sketches, and planning inside of the characters. Like the rawness of the drawings preserved in the finished films. That technique is often paid homage to in other animated works, such as Tomm Moore's Irish triptych films that he did for Cartoon Saloon.
Much was written about, especially because one of the trailers showed this gag, Rio Morales snapping her finger upon hearing that Miles got a lower grade in Spanish class. A little after that, while Jeff is speaking, the look on her face. How utterly INSULTED she is- Again, just, ooh, great animated acting all around.
"Maybe get off the kid's a-
The first universe Spot visits, love that it's very 2D-looking and very, *very* comic book, a hint of pulp and Art Deco and '60s modern rolled into one... before giving us Venomverse (oh I'm sorry, SUMC) and LEGO.
Much of the Morales' rooftop party scene is just jam-packed to the moon and back with all these little writing nuances, tying in all this stuff about being a teen who is hiding something, reasoning with one's well-meaning but very controlling parents, all the humor and drama that stems from that. All that awkwardness, the embarrassment, how the guests play off of all of that, etc.
Miles pursuing The Spot whilst trying to talk to him... I mean, the entire Mumbattan sequence alone mops the floor w/ maybe 95% of superhero movies made in the last 5 years, but... This scene in particular, where the two are flying through a bunch of intricately-designed and planned buildings full of people with all these swooping camera angles- GO HARD they did.
Hobie's universe particularly referencing the ransom note letterforms that made up the cover of the iconic Sex Pistols album NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS, HERE'S THE SEX PISTOLS. They leaned *hard* on early punk from the '70s, more so than any other era, and that's so damn cool.
The subtle animated acting from Gwen during Miguel's warning to Miles about disrupting canon. All the inner-conflict over believing in it or not. And even before that, too, particularly in the aftermath of the Mumbattan Alchemax building collapsing onto the bridge.
And during that whole scene, as the different Spiders start to surround Miles, I like how Hobie is more turned to the side than facing Miles directly, unlike the other Spiders. That's just seconds before it's made clear that Hobie is on Miles' side.
The super-widescreen, Panavision-esque aspect ratio change when - during the whole Spider Society chase - Miles lands on Widow and is confronted by Web-Slinger. Really channeling the spaghetti Westerns, even if that bit has been done before, its use here - very clever.
"SNITCH!"
Miles' smirk when he begins to use his electric charge power to knock Miguel off of him, right before he's about to tell him - and by extension everyone who ever doubted him or told him he can't do what's right or what he desires - off.
The "Go Home Machine" literally being an elaborate spider, itself, inside a nest. Everything, right down to the machinery, all spider-themed. Simply going ALL OUT. Also that scanner that Miguel angrily rips out of the console... What a hilariously excessive work of art that thing is, and we only really see it for like 5 seconds.
Like I said, will likely add more, and this probably read more like yet another review of this film that I really, really love. I apologize for that, lol.

White Fatalis anon here, I have a new request if you want to write about it. What will the reactions of the Waifus if the Rider has a Rathalos and a Rathian that act like the Rider is one of their children. Thanks in advance if you fullfil it and have a nice morning/afternoon/evening/night !
Nice idea anon! Let me see what I can do💖 and to be clear, this Rathalos is NOT Ratha.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Waifus (Kyle, Reverto, Cheval, Alwin, Lilia, Ena, Kayna, and Avinia) React to the Rider Having a Rath Duo that Sees Them as Their Child
Kyle
-For Kyle, it’s a real whirlwind. He isn’t surprised because you just have this nature about you that makes monsters love you. But to have a rathian and a rathalos that view you as their offspring is hell for him. This is because of all the hell he’s given you. So, he’s expected to receive abuse from your adoptive wyvern parents.
-You’d expect the rathalos to be the worst, but it’s in fact the rathian. She spares Kyle no break when it comes to protecting what she views as her baby. After all, mothers are extremely aggressive. The rathalos is no fun either, but Kyle is more afraid of your rathian. Even when you tell them to back off, they don’t listen. After all, they are the parents in this situation, and they will do what they see is right. Apparently abusing Kyle for all the trouble he’s caused you is the right thing.
Reverto
-Reverto would think it’s kind of weird. After all, no one has ever been adopted by wyverns before. That said, he does think this is a little bizarre for even a rider to be dealing with. A rathian and a rathalos looking at you like you are their children is just too much for him, especially when they don’t trust him to be around you because he is a hunter.
-The rathalos was the one who was most protective as the rathian could sense Reverto’s changed nature. That, and she was kind of afraid of him. However, your rathalos goes into full protective dad mode whenever Reverto comes around. A full-on fire-breathing terror that hunters revere them for. However, with some encouragement from you, your wyvern parents warm up to him, especially after seeing him keep you safe on a hunt.
Cheval
-He’s practically been adopted by a rathian as well, so he finds your case to be kind of endearing. Cheval knows the kind of pain that comes with having to grow up without your parents, so he feels glad for you that you have two creatures willing to step up and help you feel loved, safe, and protected, even if they are monsters. They also seem to like him for the same reason.
-Your rathalos and rathian trust Cheval to look after you, like he’s your older brother. That said, at first, there was clashes between your rath parents and Rathi. It was more of a big misunderstanding that caused the feud, both sides wanting to protect their offspring sort of deal. They got over it, and now seem to like each other, even going as far as to look after the others’ child.
Alwin
-He is surprised to see that two monsties would view their rider as such. After all, you were the one who hatched them. But I guess a rathalos and a rathian’s instincts will always come into play when they see a creature they care about in need of protection. Still, Alwin is a bit shocked to see that they think you actually eat dead velociprey, and even go as far as to sleep with you in case something shows up.
-The best part for you was that they trusted Alwin. It was almost like parents approving him as your babysitter or something. The look the rathian constantly gives him sends chills up Alwin’s spine and the rathalos seems rather laidback even though it gives him warning growls now and again, but he grows to respect such loyal monsties that love you as much as real parents would. The wyverian makes sure never to abuse their trust and reveres them like true family.
Lilia
-She finds their behavior fascinating. Lilia views the whole thing from a researcher’s perspective as no one has witnessed wyverns acting this way towards a human before. Even though you are their rider, they would tend to you as if you were their offspring. It was endearing yet confusing at the same time, and you couldn’t explain it either. Lilia just wanted to know more.
-However, her observing behavior got on the parents’ bad side. They would get irritable each time Lilia got close. Part of it was due to the fact she was distrustful of you at first, but then again, she does lead a team of hunters. Your rathalos and rathian are both protective, shielding you from her gaze with their wings. It took a lot of convincing to show that you could take care of yourself, especially after your rathalos confined you to your room.
Ena
-Ena finds the whole thing rather adorable. After all, you were a young human who was quite capable of taking care of themselves, yet your monsties guarded you like they were your parents. Not to mention bringing you dead things once in a while as food. Though she understands that growing up as an orphan has made space for your rathian and rathalos to step in as parents. In fact, you seem to enjoy the coddling.
-The funny part was that Ena was sometimes included in their care. She would get added to the little sleep circle, when the rathian brings you water in her mouth (another parenting habit) she offers Ena some. They like her, but they spend a lot of their time with you. And if anyone ever does you harm, heaven help them.
Kayna
-She finds the whole thing kind of cool. I mean, how many other monsties would treat their riders with such love and care. Certainly not Avmar. At this point, Kayna thinks about how cool it would be to be integrated into a pack of her own monstie’s species. You beg her not to try as even Avmar doesn’t view her as one of his own. However, the one thing she doesn’t like is that your rath parents view her as a threat.
-Okay, maybe she’s too clingy and likes to be around you, but she’s practically your big sister. And Kayna was here first and tries to establish dominance that way as an older rider. That ends about as well as you’d think, and she ends up sulking the whole day. Again, you have to spend time encouraging your adoptive wyvern parents that Kayna cared about you just as much as they did.
Avinia
-Avinia just finds the whole thing bizarre and there’s no changing her mind. Monsties are supposed to view their riders as a parent, no the other way around. She is speechless as she watches your mated rathian and rathalos tag-teaming you as if you were their baby. Even Frostfang looked a little perturbed by this, and Avinia tended to avoid you whenever they were around. It’s just something she has to get used to.
-At least your monsties don’t view her as a threat. Your rathian is always around you as is your rathalos, but he mostly sleeps. Wherever you go, they seem to go as well. Avinia can be thankful for one thing, and that is your monsties are quite protective of you and therefore anything that can be seen as a threat towards you. They are very reliable when it comes to a hunt.
