#it turns out i have a very big family

[tswwwit]

i’m sooo curious on bill meeting dipper’s parents. i think i remember you mentioning at one point they kinda sucked and treated dip especially bad. i’m sure that’s caused a lot of his long term mental health/self esteem issues and i can’t help but think his husband wouldn’t be too thrilled about that. also they don’t even know he’s married so that’s a whole other thing lol

In the Familiar AU, Dipper's parents shipped him and Mabel off to Grunkle Stan back when they were twelve, actually!

This was initially excused as the twins 'needing to get used to having magic'. Which makes sense! Magical puberty is a heck of a thing, and getting some training's useful to cut down on random magic surges.

But by the end of the summer, they hadn't made any plans for picking the kids up. This when Stan twigged to the real situation.

And by the end of that year, Dipper knew his 'paranoid' assumption was absolutely correct.

So the twins grew up in Gravity Falls, with only very occasional visits back 'home'. Contact's been sporadic, and Mabel's been the one who's clung more to their parent's attention. Dipper hasn't spoken to them unless forced to in years.

So yeah! Bill's not exactly thrilled with the parents - but lucky for them, they haven't met him yet! And they definitely don't know about the marriage. Much less anything else.

#answers #In summary: The twins' parents found out their kids were magical and decided they Just Couldn't Deal with that #They're not magical themselves and giving your kids some Magic Training is a good idea #But at some point you need to actually *take them back* #Which they just. Didn't #Dipper abso-friggin-lutely has a whole mess of issues from that #Abandonment's a big one. Being worth something and good at something? Yep that's an issue right there #Not the least of which is that Mabel as a more Talented and Powerful magic user got more attention when they were still there #Then continued to get more attention via phone call when they weren't #Mabel's got some REALLY rose-colored glasses on about the situation #Dipper sees it for the 'well my kids are freaks but at least one of them is a Cool Freak' it is #That's a fact he's been stewing on for *ages*. A fact bomb that he could theoretically drop on his sister but never did #Needless to say he got the brunt of the Issues™ but Mabel's got her own in turn #I'm also betting there's more than a dash of homophobia in their parents considering their reaction just to Magic #So the parents aren't going to be very thrilled about either of their partners #In my head I picture the parents wanting a Totally Picturesque Family #And creating the visual of one is easier if you only have Pictures of the kids instead of them being there and being themselves #In summary: Yeah The Parents Suck #I started a fic for this once and I still intend to write one but that's a later type of project #I gotta have the right start for it to flow well

#tomgreg #im personally torn between st paul and rome #just bc its funny that theres a como lake in st paul #and Lake Como in italy is one of the most popular wedding venues #and was also namedropped by tom and be says 'but im worried about the fog' #so then like. for ppl to get the wedding memo and be like 'holy shit hes taking greg to como??“ #only for it to be a different como lake #just feels very good #but also a Classy Old New York wedding feels VERY tom #in any case it would prob depend on who all they even can invite #and i think tom would be pretty nervous about another big wedding #like he already got his Big Fancy Wedding with shiv but also the venue wasnt his choice #and look how that turned out #hed probably have this fear of declaring their love in front of too many people cursing it #ultimately i have to think its just family and closest friends there #and also theyd prob wanna avoid the roys just trashing it. especially roman #so they would not need/want a huge venue necessarily. food for thought #mine

Sissy redesign !! i support womens rights but more importantly i support womens wrongs

#technically its a re-redesign but the previous design was from before the game was out and before she had a solidified personality #so it was basically an oc at that point #anyway i am a very big fan of how this turned out. especially the shading #art #my art #texas chainsaw massacre #sissy tcm #sissy slaughter #tcm sissy #to go off on character design stuff; i made her dress pink/purple to give her her own color #since the hitchhiker already has a similar forest green #and i gave her pants under her dress because. well shes the only one in the family not wearing pants #which would be fine to me if she wasnt the only girl #i gave her a cleaver because all of the og family have unique weapons and i thought she deserved one too #i gave her pigtails because her personality is quite sillyfun and i wanted her design to reflect that #(plus the original redesign had them and i just liked how they look) #the bruises are something i give practically all the family except the cook #because in the movie he abuses the other two on screen. which i think is fun (AS A FULLY FICTIONAL CONCEPT) #what else what else. i gave her a belt sash to add more detail to the dress #and to separate her chest and her waist #and i thiink thats it. anyway i love character design. if you couldnt tell yet #abuse mention

ik its cringe but um. since hunter the parenting is based off of 40k lore, and i had a sensei ( half-human child of Big E ) oc kicking around in g-docs, i revamped her to fit into the h:tp lore. meet odette! (she/they), one of the ex-children of big-d, and independent salubri kindred, currently acting as the go-between between the anarchs, independents kindred, and camarilla of east-anglia, though originally, she's from santa monica and relocated after l.a. got too hot to stick around for salubri like her back in 04

edit. added the kindred version!!

#scout ocs #scout art #scout.png #hunter: the parenting #h:tp #vtm ocs #i think if anyone from the team saw her id cry but also i really like her. shes definitely marckus and doors younger sister. i like to thin #she's also very young by kindred standards. she's like. 22/23 but is perpetually 19 because that's when she was turned. and she hates it sm #she & marckus definitely had undiagnosed adhd together. she lived w/ them for 2 yrs after her mom died then moved in w/ her maternal aunt #her 'death' was also a suspicous car accident that The Family Doesn't Talk About. but she and Big D crossed paths in 04 in LA and thats als #why she left and went back to england bc of her human connections and her longing to be with / alongside her family. but she already #breached masqurade when big-d saw her in 04. and her mentor is a hardass so mostly she sits in the bg and watches her family from a distanc #also. her coterie is sooooo fucking weird. a real group of losers fr #one is a gibson girl kindred socialite. another looks like they pulled out of the underpass cybergoth rave gif but is a car mechanic. #the last one is an ex-shovelhead who got turned on a blind date and is really pissed about having to give up his thesis #tag spam /

Sometimes all you can do is find something to do to distract yourself from useless worrying, and sometimes that distraction ends up going surprisingly well, so here's a WIP of the thing I've been working on this evening:

I'm redrawing a favourite screencap and aiming for as much realism in the colours as I can muster, and it's going better than I expected.

#the thing i'm trying to distract myself from is a family member health situation #i've been very stressed about it since yesterday and it's still ongoing #and is on top of pre-existing worry about the same person #and it's all kicked off right in the middle of the big autumn cons #which is an added stress because i have So Much to do for those #so i'm considering getting any work of the art variety done at all as a victory #and it's also why i've been so talkative #distractions are helpful when there's nothing you can do to affect a situation yet #and turns out the obsessive focus that comes from trying to distract oneself #is helpful for making art progress #this is definitely a level-up on the colouring front #personal stuff

and is there not just generally a certain level of decency that would make you like ease up on a person who's obviously more than a little frazzled i am sorry that i cant process all my feelings and regurgitate them to you in an easily digestible manner while im actively In a situation or have a prepared disclaimer about how im so sorry but im just overwhelmed and need you to leave me alone right now or whatever else maybe i just dont know maybe i cant tell you exactly what im feeling or need and if i have to figure it out and explain that to you my brain is going to explode. but you could read the room. is there not a point where a friend would probably just go oh okay let me not continue pushing this person let me take a moment to reflect on their state and perhaps try to ease that or at least not keep fucking pushing on it. and also maybe not choose these moments to make otherwise innocuous but contextually just kinda meanspirited jabs. ok whatever

#not to be a sensitive little bitch except im not. #i dont want to be rude or too explicitly open about the things i dont really like to talk about #but sometimes. frankly. people need to take on the weight of their own feelings. insecurities. thoughts. etc and then some #some of us grew up with little to no emotional support and in fact took on the weight of their family's issues and the brunt of their #emotional immaturity and sometimes that makes someone feel fundamentally rattled and unsafe in moments like that #some of us had pretty much every big personal emotional. thing. that happened to them minimized and turned into some tragic #family conversation. or had someone reply like huh idk if that could have happened to you i certainly dont remember that #and then you wonder if people were ever looking out for you and if the ones that did just truly didnt care. #um. anyway. this is not just to be like oh im so quirky and different and traumatized lol but im reaching a boiling point when it comes #to people just like. doing this shit. or whatever. im going to start screaming #i shouldnt have to bare my fucking soul to you for you to go oh huh maybe this is a sensitive subject perhaps #frankly we arent the same and we dont relate and aw bummerooni ik im not the only sufferer but good god. #our lives were very different in some ways! #and sometimes all i want is for someone to say its ok kid you did good #again. not to be dramatic. but when ive talked about MY upheaval of feelings or w/e like if thats been impacting #how ive been acting and people start crying at me or get all whatever. oh it makes me wanna be the one to pass the torch #yeah man imagine how tired we are. #ok talking incoherently now so im gonna go do my job i guess. #abby talks #i know no one will save me but maybe sometimes it’d be nice to share the weight regardless

finally snowed for more than a dusting. went to crazy and shovelled sooooo many driveways. arms sore and i'm so cold but worthhhhhh...

#i dooo get paid for one of them so..... #and omggg i'm so embarrassed #so ok. our new next door neighbours haven't talked to us much so idk much about them #and we used to shovel the driveway for the lady who used to live there bc she was older and disabled and our driveways r very close #like. touching eachother #my bf said our roofs were kissing the houses are angled close to eachother. regardless. #so the snows piling up and the cars not there so i figure i'll at least shovel a path to the front door/garage so they can plug their car in #and i'm wearing big headphones to protect my ears from the wind / because the windchill made it -30 out of nowhere. #and i saw that their shovel was broken too!!! so of course i'm gonna shovel their yard.... #so im doin my thang. shovelling. i do it in a weird ish pattern but that's just how i prefer to do it #and i'm always nervous about being up at ppls doors when i shovel so i'm already on edge #AND I TURN TO FINISH UP AND THEIR KID IS GETTING HOME FROM SCHOOL #maybe like. 7-9th year aged. idk #younger than me of course but i'm a little wimp so i squeak like a dumbass #and just go 'sorry!' before running off to shovel the other side of the road 😭😭😭 #i would've done more if that girl hadn't scared me off.... #nice little kick of anxiety for me for today.... but.... i mean #and like. i was up in their front yard. i shovelled out a path to their compost/garbage bins so they could still put those out #i did the steps.... i must have looked like a little freak that family has like never seen me i never leave the house.......

good morning today i’m going to have lunch with a bunch of strangers i am apparently related to.

#ooc. o kaptain. #[so as a stereotype I have this cousin who is very active in the church is the very Greek etc etc and she also married a dude who was #ridiculously $$$$ anyway he was a dirtbag and when he died she inherited his company. so she’s a Brooklyn democrat who lives in Connecticut #and we love her. she’s also out of her mind and has been turning up every family member we’ve never heard of. my big yiayia (great grandma’s #) relatives. my aunt’s treatment was the other day hence my disappearing act and today I’m going with her to meet these weirdos just in case #she’s too tired. it’s at the fucking stanwich club I do not want to be wearing a button down at like 9 am on a Saturday. I wanna write and #I wanna go back 2 SLEEP. how y’all doing??? I love you. time to meet more Greeks. oh. hey. did I mention… that my big yiayia was like the #meanest woman alive. she loved to 98 off of nothing but spite.]

sorry i needed to vent somewhere and ended up explaining my life 😮‍💨

#why am i like this bro? #my bday is in a few days but i don't feel excited about it #i didn't even feel like doing anyhing especial this year and i was so close to not celebrate it #but my mom and my bestie convinced me because “you're turning 18. isn't that exciting” #and also because “most of your friends will move to other places because of uni so you don't know when/if you'll see all of them again” #the thing is they convinced me to celebrate with my friends and close family #nothing too special but at least is something #and now i had to tell them what i was going to do so i had to create a whatsapp group and all that #and i just spent a whole hour just to think of what words to use so it doesn't sound weird #idek why i thought it would sound weird to invite MY friends to MY bday party but i always overthink everything #besides all of this idk why it gives me so much anxiety to just do this whole “party” thing yk #i guess i just hate being the center of attention and the fact that this is “my” day and everything revolves around me makes me anxious #i've always been a very reserved person but this year i've surpassed myself #like with the whole last year of high school thing and the exams to get into uni got me so stressed #and i've spent all school year (sept-june) without barely going out of my house (i literally only went out to go to class) #and i've spent all year saying: i'll go out when all of this ends in summer #but i was SO exhausted by the end of it that i just wanted to stay at home 24/7 #how did this end? well. i've only hang out with my group of friends once in the whole summer and it was on the july 4th #i've practically been ignoring the whatsapp group so i didn't have to make excuses not to meet up #i'm not proud of admitting that but it's not like i talked too much before so i guess it's not such a big deal #thinking about all of this made me realise that i might have social anxiety after all #i'm not at all surprised tbh but i didn't really know what i felt had a name yk #very random but i'm very happy that i was able to get to know JO and Jere thanks to eurovision cause i feel like they're holding me togethe #idk they just make me inexplicably happy and seeing all their content makes me smile even when i feel like shit #(big thanks to everyone on the fandom here btw ily all <3) #anyway i'll stop now cause this is turning out very long #this didn't get me anywhere but at least i feel a bit better ig #maca speaks

More post-SotRL stuff bc posting on tumblr is easier than actually writing it

After the Kids (a.k.a Suiren, Midori, Opal, Kuvira and Bolin) (none of them are kids but that's probably what the RL call them) successfully break Zaheer out and get him to the hideout, there will obviously be a big emotions fest between the RL. Like, he thought they were dead, they had no idea what happened to him, P'Li's his lover, Mingzan may be mad at him for the whole earthly tethers thing but he's still their friend and they still missed him... Yeah. While all that is happening they forget about the kids for a second but after the initial tears cease, they turn around and find the five of them just... passed out together in a heap on the floor

#the adrenaline rush is over and the fear and worry alleviated for a moment and the exhaustion hit them full force #and the thing is #once they break out zaheer they're on a timer #there is a very big difference between kuvira escaping and zaheer escaping #the world leaders will tear the earth apart just to find him #they have at most a few weeks to figure out their next course of action #and the kids are at the forefront of it all. the new generation. it's their turn to try and change the world #and their short-lived time of peace is running out #but for now. they rest #GOD I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT THEM #I LOVE THESE GUYS SO MUCH #they kinda remind of vi powder mylo and claggor in act 1 of arcane #just older and a lot more weared down by trauma #but like... if those four were joined by caitlyn bc opal is there #and in terms of wealth and family status she's the most privileged of them all let's be honest #anyway #so many thoughts so little ways to articulate them properly #can't wait until i get to write this part #unfortunately writing requires writing :/ #a travesty #seeds of the red lotus #sotrl suiren #sotrl midori #opal beifong #kuvira #bolin #the red lotus #the legend of korra #original characters #fanfiction
