Saturn in Pisces transit + how you could get famous ♓️ ✨

Saturn entered Pisces on March 7, 2023 and will stay there until May 24, 2025. Already, we have been able to see new musicians, artists, collectives rise to fame.

example: Victoria Monét -> her song "On My Mama" went viral and she has her Moon and North Node in Pisces. Despite being popular for some time, she is just now really blowing up.

British Duo "Jungle" went viral for their song "Back on 74". Tom McFarland, one half of the duo, has his NN in Pisces in his 7th house of partnership (his band) and his moon at 29° Pisces in his 9th house of the media. They blew up but I also predict their fame is being solidified and will grow even more.

Here is what I predict for the Saturn in Pisces transits in the houses.

✨ Pisces 1st house: solidification or complete undoing of your identity. this could be a time where you find the perfect routine for your skin, hair, makeup, or maybe completely transform your look or how you present to others. could become famous for looks and self (think modeling, youtube, Tiktok, instagram) post your selfies queens and kings!

✨ Pisces 5th house: strengthening of creative abilities, creative drive, and increase in artistic pursuits / opportunities. you most likely feel more creative during this time, and have more of a drive to showcase this. great time for musicians, artists, and performers who want visibility for their art. also a time where you could go on more dates, fall in love, and have kids. could become famous for anything creative, your children, your romances.

Tobi’s Sister? || Akatsuki w/ child!reader

Summary: You’re tobi’s sister, that’s it. You may also be the one the Akatsuki love most.

Warnings: Fluff, tiny bit of angst.

Inspired by this piece: uchihas w/ sister!reader.

You were the last Uchiha ever born, as in you were born a little over a year before the Uchiha Clan Massacre. Obito had known about your presence as it was no secret when a new member was arriving.

Although it was traditional to keep quiet about it until around the 2nd semester out of worry for stressing out the mother. He still found out anyway, and he wasn't sure how to feel about it.

Your arrival was a heartwarming moment. Your mother was very happy for you filled up her heart. Her heart which was dull, was now filled with hope, from the previous loss of her son, him.

It was unfortunate then, that not long after having you that she had gone. That the whole clan had gone, except for you and Sasuke. Obito had debated on your worth but ultimately he chose to keep you and Madara didn't seem to be against it.

Madara himself hearing that he had a little sister had simply said that "we should at least leave out some hope for our clan". So, on the night of the Uchiha massacre you were taken to a secret location, death faked.

From that point on, Obito had raised you on his own and he soon found that you were his love. You were so sweet and adorable, he didn't want anything happening to you. When you came he swore no feelings towards you, yet now you are his weakness.

It wasn't like Obito hid his face from you either, but he knew that he had to keep his plan foolproof so he never told you his real name, sticking to Tobi/big brother. He'd save that revelation for when you were much older.

By the age of 3, you were a healthy toddler who was energetic and intelligent. You picked up things quicker than others, such as walking and talking. Although you weren't a professional you could communicate what you wanted. It was at this age that Obito introduced you to the Akatsuki. Most of the members were surprised by this. Not really by the point that Tobi had this child with him who he had a brotherly relationship with, but more so the point that Pain actually allowed you into the organization.

By the age of 4 you had gotten used to your environment, you were an energetic child. Tobi was personally worried about how the Akatsuki would treat you but nothing bad came out of it. You were given all you needed and treated with the utmost respect.

It was honestly laughable, how the akatsuki. The most powerful criminal organization, dawned in their signature black, red cloud cloaks had this small child. In her small puffy dress running around.

The truth was that not all of the akatsuki knew you personally, they knew you exist but not all have met you. It was decided that you'd be with the main group.

Pain was at a loss of words, truly, when you were introduced into the equation. He knew right away that you were definitely an uchiha and that you had quite a strong bond with Tobi (for him, "Madara").

But it seemed that out of all things Tobi sincerely meant everything he said about you. He had even cited how Pain and Konan wanted to create a place where children could be happy, "a place I hope she'll be," he said while cradling your sleeping form.

So, Pain ultimately did let you in but not without stating his own terms. Handling a child was not at all easy and if you were to stay with them. You should at least be trained to an extent where you were useful.

After all, the organization doesn’t want any people who’d slow them down. At least, that was the original reason, deep down Pain did feel the need to protect you.

Ultimately a plan was devised, they’d take care of you, teach you, and train you. The more difficult things could be dealt with later on. So, a teaching plan was developed for you when you became apart of the Akatsuki.

Kakuzu had known of your arrival long before any of the other members. As previously Pain had consulted him on this as part of the budget would be put towards taking care of you. This, greatly annoyed Kakuzu.

Kakuzu didn't understand why Pain even cared about you to this extent. He saw this as wasted money, baby formula and diapers weren't cheap. But thankfully, he didn't have to worry about that because by the time you were established as a member you didn't need that anymore.

He eventually didn't mind you at all as you weren't that big of an annoyance. You weren't that interested in him at first. Eventually though due to Pains plan Kakuzu would have to teach you mathematics.

A class, which, to your dismay and Kakuzu's you disliked. Nonetheless he was at least grateful you absorbed knowledge and was quite shocked whenever you'd join into his money-speaking conversations with Hidan.

Hidan was one of the most shocked members, "oh I wonder how strong she is!" he had said. Then when your small form peaked out from behind Tobi, Konan had to reminded him that you were just a child.

Hidan got along with you easily though, and it was no secret the rest of the members enjoyed the "tea parties" you'd host with him and Deidara. Hidan greatly enjoyed your innocence to the world.

Especially your reaction to new things. He remembers laughing so hard when he had you try french fries for the first time, or when you'd seen a shooting star for the first time. He made sure of course, to tell you to make a wish. He really enjoyed your company.

Despite this, Hidan wasn't given an educational role but more so a babysitter rule. It wasn't ideal but he was like a guard for you, since he enjoyed your company he was tasked with keeping an eye on you most of the time.

Deidara reacted exactly like Hidan had, he didn't expect you to be a kid though honestly! When he first saw you he honestly thought you were quite cute. You were so chubby and soft, he loved whenever he'd come back from a long mission. You'd run and hug him!

It was even better when Hidan and him would compete for who you'd hug first. However most of the time you wouldn't choose or just run to Konan instead.

Deidara, unlike Hidan, although being assigned to watch over you partly also was your art teacher. Deidara was not allowed to use explosions at all with you, this was strictly forbidden by Pain and more so by Tobi. Not like he would though after seeing how easily you could get injured. You had merely fell but it'd left you with two bleeding knees that healed fast thankfully since you were still young, but had scared you for awhile. It hurt Deidara to witness that, who would enjoy that anyway?

He mainly just has you make sculptures with him, and it isn't like he hates doing other things besides sculptures. So besides his tendency to destroy things in "the name of art" he really doesn't do that with you also because you had cried once. That was when he realized you were more of a collection person.

Sasori hadn’t given any reaction at all when you’d arrived. He saw it like this, as long as you didn’t disturb him he wouldn’t you. However, it seems like Pain had other plans.

As you technically had to be taught besides being taken care of. It turns out that Sasori had been chosen to be your science teacher. He wasn’t particularly fond of this idea as a child such as you seemed quite dumb, no?

Well he was wrong about you being dumb because you were quite intelligent for your age, but not obedient. Sasori was a man who’d get the job done though so he found a way around your constant moving. It didn't take a genius to figure out kids were active.

He was actually starting to enjoy teaching you then, as you were always excited when he said he had something new for you. You absorbed knowledge from him and always praised him. This stroked his ego a lot.

He was especially impressed at your reaction to his puppets. You’d let out the loudest squeal he’d ever heard and hadn’t even realized it was a puppet. You reminded him of when he was young, and it made him get closer to you.

Itachi had just accepted your presence, although your age shocked him a bit. He was technically considered young himself when he had joined the Akatsuki, and besides he'd seen much worse.

At first, he didn't know how to interact with you but introductions were said and done with Pain's assignment for him. Itachi was to be your actual babysitter, he got you ready for meals, helped dress you, and more.

Pain knew out of everyone here Itachi was kind with kids and knew how to be responsible. Which is why Itachi is your Nanny, always reminding you of naps, rest, and shower time.

It was a bit debated whether it would be Konan or Itachi but Konan was normally rather busy and Itachi had swore to Tobi no harm would come to you. He wasn't one to break promises either. Itachi tried to not become attached to you emotionally but clearly failed. He didn't want to lose another person, or worst comes to worst, be the one to take out that said person. He wasn't an idiot, he knew you were an Uchiha from the moment he laid eyes on you. It was the most shocking of all in your first meeting. He couldn't help feeling grateful in the end however, to know that at least one person was spared from the massacre. This was soon combined with a feeling of guilt though as he knew you were entangled in much more now, he vowed he'd protect you if he could, just like Sasuke.

Eventually, you had come to love Itachi just like a brother, he gave you a sense of familiarity and was super gentle. The same could be said for Itachi, who now saw Sasuke in you.

Kisame was quite amused when you'd joined the Akatsuki. Wouldn't it be rather fun for people to hear of this? Well, either way he thought you'd be scared of him on your first meeting.

Turns out you weren't in the least, you were really curious about him too. When you'd first met your hands had touched his face all over, but what made you love him the most was how high he could lift you.

This was when Kisame first learned just how much kids loved to be tossed around (gently) and he always made sure to lower his strength around you. He actually was quite entertained with you, not as bored as he’d thought.

He was assigned to be your swim teacher, expected really. He began teaching you right away and quickly caught onto your fear of the deep water. Not to fear though because Tobi was there watching your first couple lessons and Kisame controlled the waters to prevent any harm.

He did his best to make the waters seem calm and fun. Whenever he could he’d take you to the beach or a lake. Sometimes Itachi would even tag along with you two as he watched Kisame swim out with you.

Kisame felt proud knowing you were learning quickly. He had bragged about it once to Hidan and Deidara too. They had called him soft towards you but it wasn’t necessarily a lie.

Konan lastly, was your Language/Biology teacher, she came around more often after you came into the equation. You were so adorable in her eyes and she loved whenever you’d run into her arms.

Konan loved your squishy chubby cheeks, most of all your cute voice when you called her name. She was assigned as your biology teacher for obvious reasons. Although this is a more later role she would help you through puberty and such.

She was also your language teacher, helping you learn the characters and to read. Enjoying the fun moment she’d have with you on her lap reading along. You were a kind presence in her world, a reminder of what she hopes to work towards.

Konan is happy to take care of you and you view her much like an older sister. She teaches you so much, and is a very encouraging person. Helping you gain new experiences and also protecting you as much as she can.

Alas, I do not have a good tablet or stylus.. :((

But that's ok! I think I'm getting better! <:D .. I hope so at least! <:}}

@holly-opal

I haven't really ironed it out yet.. but one thing stays consistent. It sucked.

I wanted to create a situation where Mario and Luigi both did not want to go back to Earth. Sure there are things that would undoubtedly bother them a bit that I couldn't just whisk away. Never seeing another human again, never seeing any animals again.. Never hearing human songs again.. never tasting the food from Earth again..

But what I could do is make their old lives so horrible, that they were both willing to give up what they had for this new life as the "Hero's of Legend."

I pictured Mario and Luigi both being very poor. Just barely making it paycheck to paycheck. No friends, no family. No sentimentals even. Perhaps their childhood home burnt down.. so no family photo albums or old plushies to be attached to..

I couldn't decide what kind of relationship they had with their parents.. but either way, they've passed on. They worked a crappy job as plumbers which they both hated. They lived in a cruddy apartment that was too small for them. Rotten neighbors, disrespectful customers..

I pictured them having this terrible company van or truck that always broke down and stunk of cigarettes thanks to the previous owner. They were drowning in debt and bills. Trynna pay off the van, trynna buy new clothes, trynna by food...

I even imagined some of their bills and debt were medical related. I imagined Luigi being very ill and them being unable to afford food and medicine.. So Mario stole food from his clients. Maybe even robed a store or two. Now they've got "criminal" added to their list of problems.

They hated their apartment. They hated the van, they hated their neighbors, they hated people, they hated the world. They hated their lives. The only thing they had the room in their hearts to love was each other. The only thing that didn't hurt them or make them cry was each other. The only thing that made living in this horrible world worth it, was each other.

Then the mushroom kingdom came along.. "Hero's of Legend?" Magical powers? Kind people who care about us and respect us? No more debt, no more bills, no more van or apartment, no more stealing, just.. adventure. And they get to experience it all with their most favorite person in the world?

Why would they ever want to go back?

@raven-bearden-the-interviewer42

Alas, I do not know of any. :((( But I can imagine that the crew is nerdy enough to make their own shanty! A theme song of sorts. And you can bet that Seafoam would take pride in that song and sing it loudly with the rest of the crew! XD

@neo-metalscottic (100,000 reblogs post in question) (Octo clarification post)

Awe! That's so kind! Thank you!! :DD And I've been very glad to see my condition improve too 😌 though I'm not quite out of the thick of it yet.. :(( I hope I can fully beat it soon! <:))

As for the Great green toad king and company, I have actually never heard of them before! <:0 Though it would be very easy to label them as some far off kingdom and not put much thought into it <XDD Perhaps some of the species found in that kingdom could have become wandering travelers like Wario and Waluigi? Maybe we'd see them that way? :00

Now I know mentioning Birdo was a joke XDD But I do have plans for the Birdo species! :00

I had this idea that Yoshi's used to be smaller, about the same size they are in canon. Back then they acted as these passive.. almost farm like animals..?? In a way?? The toads used them to haul carts and as a form of transportation. Like horses! But eventually the Yoshis discovered "Yoshis island". A fruitful island planted in the middle if a giant river. A large sum of the Yoshis migrated from the forest and began to live there. Eating the super fruits and veggies it produced and slowly transforming into the giant mega Yoshis that are there today.

However, not all the Yoshi's left. A fair amount of them were kept and somehow made their way to the coast near Daisy's Kingdom. After generations and generations of Yoshi's eating red cheep cheeps and living in the water, they transformed and are now called Birdos. In present day Yoshi's and Birdos are extremely closely related, though they look a bit different from each other. And while Yoshi's come in all different colors, most Birdos grow up to be different shades of red, Pink and purple due to their red cheep cheep diet. Just like flamingos! :D

Anyways- on to the Goombas. The Goombas start out as these very poisonous brown mushrooms and are brought to life by Kamek. They form mouths and the poison that they originally had becomes poisonous saliva. So when they bite someone the poison does its job.. Even if who ever they bite is somehow immune to their poison, their bites are still nasty. They're dirty creatures and they really shred you up.. So the chance of natural infection is there none the less-

And WHAAAT?? Illumination whyyyyyyy 😭😭I love Toadsworth you had no right to scrap him--

And wow! That last battle looks crazy! My only question is who's this guy?? <XDD I don't recognize him!

Anywho- thanks again for the ask! Feel free to send more Mario ones, or not, which ever you please! I'd love to read what ever you may send :}}}

8 0 0 0 P A G E S ? ? ?

@pink088

That is the most cursed creature I have ever seen- XDD

I wanna say Louis has the most wins, buuuttttt Seafoam is so much bigger than Louis.. I feel like he would have the ability to overthrow him just by using his own body weight XDD Its hard to say!

(Ask was sent in response to this post)

SKSKKDJH ACTUALLY THO XDDDD

Oh- in order to make these ask posts I take screenshots of the asks, crop them, and then compile them all together. Usually I put them together on Tumblr desktop, so they're all blue.

But recently I've been batting some health problems and have been stuck on the couch all day.. which means that I've been making my ask posts on Tumblr mobile. Which is all black themed for me :00

Aw, thank you! Though I advice eating it with a spoon actually! In order to scoop up the tears of the characters- XDD

@caronaro-flipaclip

:0 Sponchbop! :DD Its hard to feel down with him around!

@beryl-shade

I have written many stories where characters have lost family or friends to death... but as for a character that was in the main story and I actually drew them? ..Not that I can recall! :0

Hey!! I was wondering if you could make an Ao'nung x Sully reader. Where when the sullys arrive aonung is interested in the reader and hes always nice to her and only her which his friends notices and teases him about. Then im guessing 5 weeks of the sullys staying there the reader and aonung are close where its like dating (but not dating, yk?) And then u ask aonung to meet u somewhere at night (like a date) which he agrees then while ur there he never showed up so u walk back home but on the way u see aonung with a girl and u get mad and walk past them and aonung calls for you but u go home then the next morning aonung explains everything? (happy ending thoo) IF YOU DO THIS THANK YOU SM!! <3

Ao'nung x Sully!reader

genre: fluff

a/n: here you go! thank you for your request :))

sorry for any grammar mistakes

With sun rays caressing the markings on your back, you disconnected your queue from your exhausted Ikran and offered your hand to Kiri who has been accompanying you on the banshee throughout your journey to the reefs to seek refuge from the Metkayina clan. She grasped your hand, taking a notice of its rough surface, and slid off the creature with a huff.

The reception by the Metkayina was less than welcoming, especially by their tsahìk Ronal, who circled around your family with a spark of disapproval in her eyes. She lifted Kiri's hand to show her people the extra finger she shared with Lo'ak and your father, claiming you all have demon blood. You placed your hand on Kiri's shoulder to encourage her to move in front of you and escape the frightened looks of the Metkayina and earned a growl in return from the pregnant woman. Neteyam followed suit and pushed you in front of him to shield you from the curious children who tugged on your tail, giving the opportunity to the chief's siblings to acknowledge your presence.

That was when the disgust was replaced with unexpected interest.

Ao'nung began to study your every curve, each marking that decorated your different shade of blue, the way you scrunched your nose when his mother hissed at yours. He tilted his head slightly and took a notice of the matching bracelet you had with the eldest Sully child, frowning at the sight. It was clear that the two of you shared a strong bond and several facial features he found quite pretty on you, but on your brother? Not much.

He wasn't fond of your siblings and decided that it was his mission to make your stay and adapting to their culture difficult, except for you. Ao'nung, for some unexplainable reason, excluded you from his obnoxious teasing. Instead of fooling around and making fun of your frustration when you couldn't master your ilu, he offered you advice on how to do it properly.

His friends noticed the nice behavior towards you, especially after his gaze softened whenever you ran up to their group to rescue your younger siblings, Kiri and Lo'ak, from their nasty remarks. They started teasing him about it and with you passing by, they would playfully punch his shoulder and chant your name to catch your attention.

It's worth mentioning that they received some bruises from the firstborn of Tonowari and Ronal.

To Lo'ak's dismay, you couldn't adapt to the Metkayina ways and struggled to stick by their side underwater. Because Tsireya was busy teaching the rest of your siblings, Ao'nung was entrusted with the task of helping you out. That brought you closer to the Metkayina boy whether you liked it or not, but you weren't complaining. He brightened up your time under the water and showed you beautiful places you could only dream of visiting.

He would occasionally tease you around your brothers to reveal your newly created friendship and flick the back of your head with a toothy grin, making Lo'ak gag.

"Stop," you chuckled and swatted his hand away from your reddening cheek when he pointed out that his compliment made you blush. "Ao'nung, I mean it!"

The boy bit his bottom lip to stifle his laugh, letting you slap his knee. Ao'nung insisted that you take a break after you almost drowned because you were distracted by the colorful corals around you and forgot you had to resurface to breathe. Your side was pressed against his, the contrast of your skin color illuminating the surface of the rock you were sitting on, legs swaying in the clear water.

You pulled away from his turquoise body in thought, his hand slipping down your back in the process which left a trail of electricity behind. Ao'nung narrowed his eyes at your intense frown and shifted in his spot, uncertainty replacing the comfort he found by your side.

You turned to face Tonowari's son, allowing him to catch a glimpse of fear in your yellow eyes he grew to adore. "I was thinking," you began, his shoulders tensing under your gaze. "I mean- it's probably pretty stupid of me to ask, but.."

Ao'nung put his hand on your thigh and left gentle rubs behind as you exhaled deeply. You lifted your eyes to meet his light blue ones, your worry vanishing. "What if-- I don't know.." you trailed off and started to fidget with your fingers. He was patient and let you find the right words to use. "What if we meet here, tonight. Just for fun."

The corner of his lips curved upwards when you winced at your voice crack. He continued to massage your leg as he gazed at the horizon, debating his answer. "Or not! It's totally fine! It was stupid of me to even think--"

"Sure," he locked his eyes on you, soft smile decorating his face.

You slapped his shoulder playfully, scoffing. "You scared me! I literally thought you were going to decline."

Ao'nung chuckled, bringing his hands up. "My bad."

___

Pandora is always breathtaking during the day, but when the sun begins to set, the beauty of the moon increases.

You trailed a hand through the clear shallow water, your fingertips playing with the sand in boredom. To say you were disappointed would an understatement, but you weren't disappointed in Ao'nung, you hated yourself for believing he would actually show up.

You should've believed Lo'ak. You should've listened to him when he caught you sneaking out of your Marui to "get some fresh air before bed" and told you that your date won't show up, but you waved him off and asked him to cover for you while you were away.

With a heavy sigh, you picked yourself up and pulled out the blossoming flower Tuk plugged for you, twisting its stem between your fingers.

On your silent journey back to your Marui, you caught a glimpse of a familiar hairstyle standing out of earshot on the shore where Lo'ak swung his fist in Ao'nung's face for Kiri two weeks ago. It was hilarious to listen to afterwards. Kiri mimicked the surprised expressions of her bullies and recreated Lo'ak's effective punch.

You narrowed your gaze at the figure whose back was facing you and dropped the flower on the ground in shock.

Ao'nung was speaking to an awfully beautiful girl you stumbled upon when you were playing with the Metkayina children and Tuk in the afternoon. You felt imitated by her unique appearance with just one glance in her direction.

You scoffed at the sight in the distance and licked your lips. Crushing the blossom with your foot, you stormed past them with clenched fists and didn't dare to turn around when Ao'nung called after you.

Maybe you were naive to think he could return your feelings, but you definitely weren't the type of Na'vi who would cry their eyes out if their date didn't show up.

Ao'nung messed up, he was aware, but before he could reach you, you were pushing Neteyam out of the entrance of your new home.

___

"Where can they be?" you tap your chin in fake thought, your ears flickering when a wave of sweet giggles fill the morning breeze. You cover your growing smile behind your hand and follow the sound of your sister shushing the other girls who wanted to join you after they witnessed Tuk getting splashed with water by you. You peek behind the wicker basket full of useful objects your family received from the Metkayina people and wrap your arms around one of the girl's waist to pull her out of their hiding spot. "Gotcha ya!"

The rest of the children runs out with a mix of screaming and laughing, trying to rescue their friend who is comfortably sitting in your arms.

"Y/n," your smile falls along with your shoulders, the sweet atmosphere changing. You place the girl down and face the owner of the voice, arms crossed over your chest. "Can you please let me explain--"

"What's there to say? That I sneaked out for you and you didn't bother to show up?"

"You sneaked out?" Tuk inquires, her hand landing on the side of your thigh. Your gaze widens, "Y/n!" your sister smacks your leg.

"Go play with the girls," you push Tuk towards the Metkayina kids with a nervous chuckle, but relax when she shrugs her shoulders and skips to her new friends.

"I didn't mean to ditch you," you scoff at his words and roll your eyes. "I mean it." He takes your hands in his, securing them in a tight grip. "What you saw yesterday is not what you think it is."

"What is it then?"

Ao'nung glances around you two, noting the number of people that can possibly catch him pulling you into his embrace. You stumble a bit when your body hits his, cheeks reddening. His fingers caress your back gently as he exhales heavily in your hair.

"My heart beats for you," your breath hitches when he presses your palm on his chest, on the rapidly beating organ. "And only for you." He pulls away, his hands traveling to your flushed cheeks. He smiles at your flustered state. "I'll make it up to you, I promise."

"You better."

In the book Hannibal Rising, Hannibal was a little boy during WWII and his sister Mischa was killed and eaten by Nazis who had taken them hostage. They also forced him to eat her, which is supposed to be a very awkward and simplistic way to explain why Hannibal grew up to become hungry for human flesh.

The show however being set up in present times (they have computers, cell phone, tablets and all), there's no way Hannibal was a boy during WWII. And Hannibal states that Abigail, a teenager, reminded him of Mischa, so I think it's possible, if not necessary, that Mischa's tragedy in Bryan's mind was different than it was in Thomas Harris' book. Hannibal says at one point that he was able to forgive her only after eating her, implying that he ate her willingly; nobody force fed her to him. Mischa never betrayed him, but for her sake he betrayed himself for years, to protect her: that's what he needed to forgive her for...

It's also worth noticing that a couple of Birds of Paradise ornate Mischa Lecter's grave. It's an unusual choice of flower for a grave: birds of Paradise, in flower language, symbolize joyfulness and paradise, but it also symbolizes freedom, anticipation and excitement. It also is the official symbol of the ninth wedding anniversary, meaning it's associated with faithfulness in love.

There's no way this flower was picked up randomly: Hannibal grieved Mischa, but he also found freedom in her death. He may also consider that dying made her free as well. But he remained faithful to her memory, hence why he searched for a replacement in Abigail and, I think, in Will too -which wouldn't be an obstacle to see him in a romantic light as well: I don't think that Hannibal's definition of love is as clear cut as it is for everybody else. In the book Hannibal, for instance, he was in love with Clarice but he also wanted her to be a sister and a mother figure. For him, it's all blurred.

One last thing: the only time we saw Hannibal crying was when he talked about Abigail to Bedelia. Now it's commonly thought that he was in fact crying for Will, but I'd rather tend to think that in his mind Abigail and Will had merged in one entity at this moment. OR he was really crying for Abigail, because he genuinely wanted to create a father/brother bond with her, but made it impossible when he cut her ear and forced her to hide and play dead. We saw it in the last episode of season 2, she stayed with Hannibal because she was scared and didn't know what else to do. She would never be his Mischa again. He failed her.

Can I request a Toto Wolff x Black reader in which he attends his girlfriend's university graduation(she got her bachelors, Doctorate or PHD). I can imagine that he spoils her for achieving valdictorian and he's the most proud of her and happy he got to share in that joy with her.

Love you lots sis

We’re Proud: Toto Wolff x Black!Reader

If anyone had told Y/n that she would’ve been successful on her journey to being a doctor, she probably would’ve laughed at them out of disappointment for their delusions. Y/n L/n is a 29 years old med student of the Harvard University who made one decision that changed her life forever.

Y/n was 26 years old at the time when she went out it’s her coarse mates to celebrate making it through another year without any major mistakes, only for her to wake up in the bed of the billionaire Toto Wolff the next morning. A few months later, she found herself back in his house, wailing as she revealed the problem being that she was pregnant. Toto was surprised a bit, seeming of his age and fertility issues yet he was happy and accepted to stay full heartedly.

Toto supported and helped her with her studies during her pregnancy and took the baby with him to work so she could focus on her studies after their baby boy was born. Overtime the two had bonded and became a couple.

Today was the day that made Y/n the happiest besides creating her family, as she stood on stage collecting her white coat that officially made her a doctor. Tears in her eyes as she spotted her boyfriend and son clapping and cheering her on in the audience.

Y/n was taken by surprise as her significant other made his way up onto the stage with a microphone in hand. Toto came to a stop smiling down at her as he started to speak. “Good afternoon everyone, you may know me as professor Wolff is as the team principal for Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula 1 team. The beautiful lady right here is my girlfriend and this little guy in my arm is our son Jayden. Y/n, I know that the circumstances in which we met wasn’t ideal but we managed to make it work. I watched and supported you as you pushed through; therefore the sleepless nights, rainy days, the piles of studies were all worth it as I now get to say congratulations sweetheart. I’ve always believed in you and I want you to know that our son and I are proud of you.” The speech had everyone in tears at the intimate moment being witnessed on stage.

An interruption was made as the toddler being held by his father placed his head closer to the microphone and said “Congratulations mamma, I love you” This caused Y/n to cry even harder at the note that her baby boy acknowledged her hard work. “I wasn’t finished just yet as I have one request” Toto said which had everyone on the edge of their seats and Y/n very much confused where this was headed. “I have been analysing my thoughts for a while… I bought this three months after finding out we were expecting as I knew then that I had fallen in love with you and that you were the one… I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to scare you off so I stayed quiet and now I think it’s the right time to ask the question. Y/n L/n, would you please make me the happiest man alive in this moment and say to marrying me?” Toto asked going down into his knees as Y/n sobbed, nodding her head yes. Everyone cheered and celebrated as the graduation came to an end and everyone went home. Y/n sighed in contentment at the lovely family she had managed to create, knowing that no matter what she had a family that would always proudly support her.

[skemford]

Decided to refresh my knowledge of bendy protagonists personalities/quirks and i can say that i forget how distant canon Audrey is from fanon one sometimes

Here's relatively short list with Audrey character analysis+random tibbits (environmental/gameplay/voice lines)

(I'll appreciate if someone will interact+most of it is under the cut!)

1. Her workplace is an unorganized mess

On the right side: a couple of empty teacups, empty paper sheets, unopened envelope, books/notebooks, a toy ball and keys in the middle of the desk, storyboards that are UNRELATED to what she was working on;

On the left side: donut that she kept close to her elbow & storyboards while she was drawing + to-do list for a day

There's no WAY she'll be able to keep anything tidy. If you hc her and Bendy to have a familiar bond post game, she'll be as messy if not messier. Her home might be a wreck.

2. She easily distracts

- Audrey is working overtime and claims that she has "only eight hundred more frames to go" until the next deadline

But was she actually *actively* working?

She has unrelated items on her desk (listed above) and jumps on the first opportunity to get a coffee.

If she really did wanted to have a drink, she literally has a soda machine close to her office doors.

Some brands of soda do have caffeine in them, right? Getting a coffee looks more like an excuse for a walk.

Bonus point: if you'll stay in her office without getting up (for 15 minutes), she'll acknowledge that she has no time to waste and will return to work instead.

- "Well, the coffee's good and all. But this work's gotta get done"

Worth to acknowledge: this girl has "employee of the month" award and some kind of animation award (boris statue) in her office .

Does she stays overtime everyday to finish something? Or other Archgate employees are even worse at their jobs, somehow?

3. She uses dry sarcasm or makes jokes a lot

Honestly, it happens really often and should be brought up in fan content more imo.

Due to the images limit i can't put a lot of examples with screnshoots but I'll quote some of them.

- "i think you and i have very different definitions of alright" (toward Allison)

- "Looks like he's having a bad day" (about dead lost one with the gent pipe)

- "Ok! Yeah! And that totally makes sense" (reaction to an easter egg)

- "That's one leap of faith i definitely won't make" (about the pit in animation alley)

4. Audrey gets defensive when someone starts to talk over her or when she feels overwhelmed

Audrey either will deny what was said or will acknowledge it by being sarcastic

Prominent example of this is her reaction to Memory!Joey at the hotel:

- "Oh,now you knew my father. Well, newsflash! I didn't even knew my father...or my mother. Or anyone else in my family" (after Joey says that she has "adventurous spirit of her father")

- "What? Are you crazy?... Who do you think you are?" (after the reveal of her being created by the ink machine)

+ Similar behaviour can be seen in her short interaction with Twisted Alice (Susie).

Audrey prefers to keep conversation equal between both sides and when it fails to work, she'll either stay silent or will express frustration (which can be seen with her replying "no" to Twisted Alice and not saying anything afterwards)

5. She seems to trust Allison enough to be vulnerable around her

After leaving the spider lair, she'll try to reach to Allison through the speakers

- "Alice? Are... you there?... Alice!"

She'll acknowledge that she feels scared and after Allison won't sound reassuring enough, Audrey's hand will be visibly shaking.

Allison is the only character Audrey has opened to; you'll never see her being that vulnerable with anyone else

(She is honest with Henry but not on this level)

It makes me wish they had more interactions; Allison for sure was really important in early development of the game.

6. She's blunt

Through the game Audrey is a type of person who says whatever is on her mind without hiding her intentions too much.

She's emotional and rarely thinks twice (most of her decisions are impulsive or sometimes irrational) which reflects on the way she talks.

It's often slips out through sarcasm when she gets defensive/tries to cope but it's also happens in relatively safe environment (for example, when she talks with Betty):

- "Are you...very old?" (Wilson's mansion, bedroom)

This one liner is the most random question you can say to a stranger; I doubt it was very well thought out from her side

7. Audrey easily trusts people which makes her easy to manipulate

I couldn't skip this one.

When Wilson has created a story about his "poor lost father" as a bait and Audrey did believed in this, there are multiple reasons for "why"

This either could come from her being "goodhearted" or the circumstances being used against her

- She went through whole "father trauma" in one day without being able to process anything & get proper answers:

An idea of "saving" another father (Nathan Arch) who she could've knew more than her own father (Nathan says in one tape that he meet young animators at least once) could've hit her really close to home

- Audrey never actually got a real answer on how to leave the cycle, teaming up with Wilson (who was able to enter and leave) could've looked like the only one way back

(I do acknowledge that writing in DR could've been better at places but if you do think about it in this way,it makes sense)

7.1. She is empathetic

I think that this part says everything for itself and it doesn't need to be explained. Thought, she's the one who decide if someone deserves it.

- She felt bad for hurting Bendy on accident & apologized when she was able to

- When she met Allison for the last time, she "gave" her this name, remembering that she doesn't like to be called 'Alice'

- At the end of the game she wants to try to make the cycle better for everyone.

Twisted Alice (Susie) was included which means that Audrey doesn't hold grudges against her (even with the latest one wanting to kill her previously)

8. Audrey puts her arm through an ink container without hesitation or any side thoughts

IT IS a game mechanic and lore wise you can relate it to her being an ink creature

But honestly? It's in character for Audrey.

We're talking about someone who decided to go to great lengths to catch an aquarium fish (that's kept as a pet) and wanted to use it...for a recipe.

8.1. She doesn't mind eating out of trashcans

If you think that wanting to use someone's pet for a recipe is too weird, you're actually wrong. But eating out of trashcan (when you have other options) may be.

Thought, she drives a line on a food that has flies or other insects on it (like "chocolate cake")...i guess in other cases, it's fine to her.

~~~~~~~

Trivial things:

- Bendy seems to be her favourite cartoon character.

She calls him "little guy" in prologue and keeps close to her storyboards where he's the main character:

In the cycle, she acts joyful when she first stumbles upon the real deal.

- She loves chocolate donuts

- Audrey uses dark eyeshadows (can be seen only in prologue custscene. It's hard to notice at first)

- Her breakfast from to-do list are toasts

- She has abstract Bendy painting in her office

- It can be speculated that she's uncomfortable with being touched (or with someone being physically close), unless, she's the one who initiates it

Stray Kids Reaction | You Produce Songs for Your Group

Pairing: SKZ Members x Readers

Requested by anon: Hello my bad i didn’t see the 2024 posts ! May I request headcanons for Stray Kids dating an idol who produces songs for her own group, just like them please ? I'm fine with both gn and fem reader, just not male reader pls thank you 🙂

A/n: i'm so tirev so please cut me some salack for this one

Tunes: n/a

Bang Chan:

Chris knew that your group had a producers among its members

However, he never expected it to be you

He knew that you had dabbled in songwriting, but never producing

It’s not an everyday thing

But often you two will be messing around in a production room trying to come up with a few things

It’s a point of bonding for the two of you

Lee Know:

When you first tell Minho that you produce music for your group, he’s awestruck

He knew you were talents but this was a whole nother level of talent

He’ll ask if he’s allowed to sit in some of your sessions

He enjoys seeing you in your element

And being able to see some of the things he recognized from conversations with others was truly nice

Plus having you explain things to him in close proximity is an added bonus

Changbin:

To find this common point between the two of you is something Changbin takes very seriously

He wants to not only learn how you go about producing song for your group

But he also wants to produce something with you

Finds it incredibly meaningful to be able to do something that he loves with someone he admires

And spending the time with you is always a win

Hyunjin:

Hyunjin is in complete awe

It wasn’t something he’d expected

But he can’t say he didn’t expect it

He was well aware of your talent and thought producing would be something you’d be good at

But now that he knows it’s true

It’s like ubijksgfxbiujksgfn

He always asks how your latest projects are coming along

Han:

Jisung enjoys being in the studio with you

He loves seeing you at work for something pertaining to your group

Knowing that he gets to see everything you do behind the scenes and connect it back to his experiences

It’s also a nice little bonding moment here

He enjoys every second of it with you

Felix:

Felix loves every second he spend with you in the studio

The magic he gets to see you literally create before his eyes is worth all of the frustration he sees you go through

He helps in any way he can, but sometimes it’s more distracting than helpful

As he makes you laugh to the point where your project is completely forgotten

Only for him to remind you and have you cursing under your breath

Seungmin:

Seungmin usually stays quick during your production sessions

He’s quietly supportive of everything you do

He gives genuine and honest comments when you ask for them

Especially because he knows how easy it is to go into a spiral thinking something isn’t good enough

Interested and present

I.N:

Jeongin is so shy about being in the studio

He’s afraid he might say or do something while you’re producing something and ruin all your progress

He knows and understands all the work that goes into it

The last things he wants to do or be is a distractions

Quickly warms up to giving input when you ask and even helping out with the productions when you need him to

[orv spoilers]

for most of orv, kdj fundamentally believes that he does not deserve love nor that his selfworth was greater than the survival of his companions.

he was forged in boyhood with a mother who hurt him for the sake of her love for him. his foundational years instrumentally shaped his perception on what is love - on what someone who loves does for the one they love, on the one-sided sacrifice of love. his mother's actions were so fundamental on his perception of love that it was forever changed after her sacrifice, becoming the core of who he was as a person. not only that but his mother's sacrifice had also probably been the last act of love he knowingly received for a long, long time until the scenarios began. kdj, a lonely existence who went through school, college and work at arms length away from others, who grew up on books and his protagonist and bore only pain from other human beings, grew up to possess a selfish expression love and the ideal of unconditional self sacrifice. for kdj, love was pain and sacrifice and the person you love will end up hating you.

and, thus, his acts of love become acts of violence towards himself and unknowingly violence towards the bonds he has created with others. his lack of selfworth and selflove, his harmful understanding of love, hurts the companion he leaves behind in sacrifice much like his mother had done to him.

which makes it all the more heartbreaking when, in the war between good and evil, he wants to live. wants to stay. wants to be saved. wants believe in the love of his companions. wants to believe in his own self worth. and so he asks yjh, hsy and jhw to rescue him, reaches his hand out to his loved ones and he finally, finally goes "please save me".

but this all breaks apart. later, when the doors to the train doors open and he is confronted with OD and all the underlying suspicions (self-hatred) he had so far are reaffirmed, everything shatters. any sense of self-love he might of had collapses at the sight of his "sin" and he is broken down into the character he believes himself to be: an unlovable and unforgivable being.

he leaves behind 49% of everything he believes the others love, the best parts of himself, the part he believes they would love only. and what are these parts? his memories together with them, not the one who read wos, not the one who hates tomatoes, not the one who survived on his own, hurt and lonely. the best parts of himself were the ones he had with the others, of their time together. (because who would love whats left in the 51%? they dont even know those parts after all.)

but he's wrong of course. kimcom loves him, loves the idiot who hates tomatoes, who could only live because he read a crappy webnovel, the one with a shitty way of speaking, and had starry eyes that sparkled. they love him. and they wrote all of that love into ORV.

which is why im going insane cause if you want a happy post-epilogue for orv, this only happens because kdj (and in turn the small % in every reader) wants to be saved, wants to be happy, knows that he (and us) deserves to be saved, to live and to be happy to be able to truly, wholeheartedly imagine and want for his story to continue. and kdj has to know that he is loved, entirely.

#i dont know what the fuck im saying #its 5am #orv #kimcom #orv meta #orv themes #love and abandonment #relearning love after a lifetime of pain and sacrifice #kim dokja #being sad over this rat bastard for the thousandth time #orv analysis

Does Wrecker have fangirls? If not, he fucking should

GOOD EVENING FOLKS AND WELCOME BACK TO MY BULLSHIT. I've got more baby content for you!

This week we expand our story with Wrecker and a Baby. I love this giant man. I need a hug from him ASAP. If you missed the Crosshair chapter from a few days ago, it's posted here.

The full fic (a little longer than Crosshair's because we get a little more OC mom screentime) is also below the cut:

After a very long day of playing general, Rayona Yothia, mother to Echo “Ec” Yothia, is ready to fall down on her bunk and pass out for a few hours. The problem is, Ec does not share her wishes and is instead insistent on staying wide awake. She’s just finished trying and failing to feed Ec when, like a gift from the stars themselves, Wrecker walks in. He pauses when he sees her, his good eye darting across her face as he inspects her. 

“You look tired, Ray,” he says. She hums, bouncing her son on her lap. 

“Let’s just say our little friend here isn’t interested in sleeping at the moment,” she says. Wrecker watches her for another few seconds, then smiles at her.

“I’ll watch him.” She raises an eyebrow. 

“Aren’t you afraid to hold him without supervision because you think you’ll drop him?” His smile turns a little more bashful and he scratches the back of his neck. 

“I still wanna help you, Ray,” he says. Her gaze softens and she watches him for a moment before nodding. 

“Okay. I’d appreciate it,” she says. He smiles and walks over to the bunk, waiting for her to stand up. He’s extra careful as she helps him adjust Ec in his arms, treating the infant like he’s made of glass. Once he’s comfortable, Rayona sets her hand on Wrecker’s arm. “You sure you’ll be okay?” He nods. 

“Don’t worry, Ray. I’ve got him. You get some sleep,” he says. She smiles softly at him, squeezing his arm and nodding. She lies down and watches Wrecker as he leaves her room. A small part of her is anxious, but she knows Wrecker will be nothing but gentle with her son. 

Wrecker doesn’t go far once he’s out of Rayona’s room. In fact, he only goes down the hall, finding a quiet place to sit down. The base isn’t the best place to raise a baby, but they make do. After all, Ec is great for morale. A long day of work and missions is all worth it when they get to come back and see him. And lucky for Wrecker, those who are close with Rayona get extra Ec time. He carefully shifts Ec in his arms, holding him up and bouncing him slightly. Ec giggles, waving his arms a little. After bouncing the baby a few times, Wrecker pauses and tilts his head slightly. 

“What am I supposed to do with you?” he asks the baby. Ec babbles in response. Wrecker tries to figure out what kinds of things you do with babies and, after a few moments, he remembers a game he’s seen Echo play with the baby. Echo is good with him. Maybe it’s because the baby is named after him. Maybe it creates some kind of…Name bond. Wrecker doesn’t know, but he does know that the game made Ec laugh. So, Wrecker adjusts slightly, pulling his legs up and carefully resting Ec against them. Then, he covers his eyes—both of them, just in case his blind eye confuses the baby. “Where’d you go?” He uncovers his eyes and smiles widely at Ec. “There you are!” Ec giggles with pure glee, clapping tiny hands and babbling. His laughter makes Wrecker laugh too, and he continues with the game for a little while before Ec starts to lose interest. Wrecker bounces him again slightly, watching him closely. He looks a little more tired than he was earlier, but not by much. 

“I heard you volunteered to watch the baby.” Wrecker lifts his head and Echo is looking down at him, clearly amused. Ec babbles happily, reaching a hand up toward the man he’s named after. Echo smiles, waving back with his droid hand—a gift Rayona and Tech made before…Well, everything. Those were simpler times. 

“I thought Ray was asleep!” Wrecker says, bouncing Ec slightly again. Echo shrugs. 

“She was half asleep when she told me.” He suddenly holds up a bottle. “She also told me that he needs to eat before he sleeps.” Wrecker perks up slightly. 

“Oh! I can do that!” he says. Echo raises an eyebrow. 

“You sure? He can be a little stubborn,” he warns. Wrecker just laughs. 

“Like his mum!” he says. Echo smiles a bit at that, then hands the bottle to Wrecker. 

“Just let me know if he won’t eat. I can usually convince him,” he says. Wrecker tilts his head. 

“How do you do that?” he asks. Echo grins slightly and shrugs one shoulder. 

“I’m the family’s weakness.” Wrecker chuckles, then turns back to Ec, holding up the bottle. The infant takes it eagerly and the two clones chuckle before Echo says something about checking in with Rex and excuses himself. By the time Ec has finished the contents of the bottle, he looks ready to fall asleep. Wrecker does his best to burp the child the way he’s seen Rayona and some of the others do before, and when it’s all said and done, Ec has fallen asleep. His tiny hand is curled into a fist, grasping onto the fabric of Wrecker’s blacks. The big man chuckles softly, setting the bottle aside and then curling his arms gently around the baby. After ducking his head slightly to kiss the top of Ec’s head, he decides he’ll stay here for a bit so that the kid can sleep. In the end, Wrecker falls asleep too. 

A few hours later, Echo passes by the same spot again, pausing and smiling at the sight before him. Wrecker is still asleep against the wall, Ec peacefully resting against his chest, and Rayona, who clearly sensed that her son was never brought back to her, is now curled up against Wrecker’s side, her head on his shoulder. Though Wrecker isn’t Ec’s father, he stepped up during Rayona’s pregnancy and supported her even while he and Hunter went searching for Omega. Before Ec was even born, Wrecker swore that he’d be the best uncle he could be. Though he’s cautious due to his own strength and Ec’s small size, Wrecker has stood dutifully to that promise, just as he’s stood dutifully by Rayona. And he’ll continue to do so for as long as she needs him to, just as they all will. Echo snaps a quick holo of the sleepy pile, then quietly leaves them to rest for a little while longer.

What Anabel is and never was

She is (was) the defacto leader or symbolic head of the Hoenn Frontier. In Masters she feels a familiarity with fellow Tower Tycoon Palmer, who in turn is also the defacto leader of the Sinnoh brains. Pokespe and Ihara's Pokemon Battle Frontier mangas both show off Anabel as the 'final boss' that was built up over their separate arcs... Plus this is probably a good reason why she became an Interpol Chief way later on in life. Leadership skills go far.

Her starter Pokemon is confirmed to be Snorlax, a Pokemon that stayed with her through every single battle she's ever had; Silver Symbol, Gold Symbol, Interpol, a choice she can have in the Battle Tree, and now Masters. Masters has dialogue that solidified Snorlax as her first Pokemon that she ever obtained.

The team of Pokemon she carries is varied and not restricted to one type. She seems to like to change her playing style based on her situation and often rotates her party. She only uses her legendary Pokemon for special competitive battles however, not seemingly using them for Interpol missions as far as we are currently aware. (Only two of her Pokemon are psychic type, being Alakazam and Latios)

Despite being quiet and aloof, with a very mysterious past involving amnesia, dimensional travel, and intense amounts of Ultra Energy, Anabel is just a normal human woman. She does not have any special and/or psychic powers, and the bond she has with her Pokemon is something she compares to the deep bond anyone can form with their own partner 'mons.

It's important to note that the practically ancient anime appearance of two episodes disregarded everything in her game appearance due to how little there was to her character, but continues to create lots of confusion over who she is to this day. Pokeani, notorious for rewriting game characters almost completely, rewrote her to be the equivalent of a Psychic type gym leader, with psychic powers, only with a team of Alakazam, Metagross, and Espeon as her ace.

The reason for this was probably because she heavily resembled the Psychic NPC character from the Hoenn games and probably her lack of dialogue, but even her implied personality of being bored with the usual boasting attitudes and blunt about how unimpressed she is even if you're a champion until you prove her that you're worth a damn is... Completely gone. It sucks really. She is truly wonderful and gets excited when she finds a true, honorary challenge even to her adulthood. And even with none competitive focused trainers, she has great respect for her fellow Interpol partner Looker and her retired superior Nanu after seeing them in action.

tl;dr god i hate what the anime writers did to anabel so much, and with official SM/USUM/masters devs having to make so many statements to explode that characterization into smithereens i honestly feel like i'm not alone in this lol

#/OH and Masters confirmed her legendaries as 100% canon! I mean they were in her party in the SM/USUM Battle Tree #/People also thought 'oh no she lost all her original pokemon now she had to start from scratch' #/Naw she has them and she never lost them. she uses her og snorlax and Entei's presence implies everyone else is here

I-I, uh, thought she was having an affair. Staying out late, making excuses. I didn't realize it was the drugs until the hook was in deep. Her apartment is pretty decent. Thanks.

| ANATOMY OF A SCENE - CHENFORD EDITION 1.03 - The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

I often see this moment as when Tim and Lucy's bond started to develop. There's something tentative, fragile even, in their interaction here. But there's a connection, building up from their first (personal) conversation in the shop, when Tim opened up a little on his personal life right after Isabel came crashing into their arrest.

The camera work and their body language here is phenomenal. There's this hesitation and tension between them at first, when Lucy sits back in the car. None of them knows how to break the silence after their fight. Tim is looking down, Lucy fidgeting a bit before she starts talking. And during their conversation, they're both looking straight ahead, glancing furtively towards the other as if to let them know they're listening. It's only when Tim thanks her that they make direct eye contact. All of this helps create a very special atmosphere, playing with the idea of this being a confession of some sort - especially with the camera situated behind the car partition that could pass for a lattice opening in a confessional booth in Catholic Churches. And it definitely feels like a confession. This is probably the first time Tim breaks down his walls to this extent to someone he barely knows. I'm not even sure he ever told his doubts and suspicions to anyone else, period. It also feels like halfway between a need to explain himself and an apology. The guilt is written all over his face and Lucy can hear it between the lines. How much he blames himself for Isabel's spiralling. For not acting sooner and differently.

I really like that Lucy just listens, doesn't judge and simply tells him that Isabel's apartment is relatively decent. It's a small thing in the scale of everything but she's trying to give him a glimmer of hope here, something to hold onto, without sugar-coating the truth either. And you can feel his gratitude. The reality is that she didn't have to do any of this and he knows it. So unlike last time, he doesn't bite her head off : instead, he's letting her see through his walls for a little bit longer. And see his appreciation for both calling him out on his behaviour (and looking out for him) and her gesture. It's incredibly raw and vulnerable and Lucy responds with her empathy and care. I want to go back on Tim's marriage for a minute. I've always been curious as to why his mind jumped straight to Isabel having an affair… As a narcotic detective doing undercover work, if her behaviour suddenly changed, it would have made more sense to me to suspect a possible addiction. Not to mention that as a cop, he's trained to recognize the signs. However, in light of what we know of his father, I wonder if he carries some remnants of that...

With Lucy pursuing undercover work, seeing Tim in this state is such a good reminder of why he's so terrified of losing her, of going down that dark path again. He was completely wrecked. And Lucy was the one who helped him, who was his shining light… And yet, Tim choosing to take a leap of faith and deciding that their relationship is worth the risk, is something absolutely hopeful and beautiful.

Hi, need some advice

I’m 28 and my wife is 26, we’ve been married for 4 years and she’s wants a baby. She asked during our first year of marriage but I said no because I thought we were to young and I wasn’t financially stable enough, but honestly there were just excuses. She recently asked again and I don’t know what to say. I think we’re both old enough, I make great money at my current job, we have the space, but part of me is scared. What if I’m a bad parent. My parents were not the best, my dad was in the military and almost never around when he was home, and my mom left whenever my dad was home and would only show up when he was deploying. I work in a corporate setting so I make well over 6 figures, but I’m gone almost 3 to 4 months of the year due to business deals and meetings. And I don’t wanna be like my parents and never there for my kid. I wanna give my kid everything I didn’t have but I’m scared I’ll just end up like my parents( My dad). My wife has been so supportive of me and has helped me get to where I am now and I feel like the least I could due is give her baby, but I don’t know how to tell her how I’m feeling about it.

Wanting to have and raise kids is the first and best step to becoming a good parent. If you did not want kids or you were hesitating because you did not want the committment of children it would be a whole different thing. If you don't want kids don't have kids. If you are happy at the thought of raising a family and the work seems worth it and something you and your wife can handle together then absolutely move forward.

We are not destined to be our parents or repeat their faults, especially when we are aware of the mistakes they might have made, whether intentional or accidentally.

As far as travel is concerned, kids can handle that especially in this age of technology and things like zoom, facetime etc. I know families in which on parent travels quite a bit and they have built in to their routine Marco Polo videos, zoom calls and even letter writing as a way to stay engaged and have fun connecting without little kids getting too bored.

Your wife should have lots of on ground support in your absence. Having a built in (or two or three) emergency sitter just in case is a great relief. Make sure you have a good pet boarding facility and are in good standing if you have dogs or cats so that if something were to arise she has back up when you are away. Putting in place these kinds of support take a lot of worry off the table. A cleaning service can help as well as a decent list of good places she can call for things like car problems, plumbing and other household repairs.

Take time from your job (you probably get adoption or maternity leave even if you are not the birth mom) to bond with an new arrival, baby or not. The first few months are important to establish a relationship with both new borns or older kids in the case of adoption or foster.

When you are home you don't have to over compensate for your absence. Your child and wife will have a routine in place, don't disrupt that too much. It will stress you and them out. Just becasue you have been gone you don't need to "make up lost time" if you have been communicating with your family while away. Make sure you take time for your wife and don't feel guilty for getting a baby sitter once in a while, you still need your intimate connection (grown up time) with each other.

Lots of families are healthy and happy with both parents working 40 plus hours and barely making ends meet. If creating and nuturing a family is what you both want, go for it.

Favorite headcannos about Jim and Claire

Jlaire, my beloved.

Some of my headcanons:

Claire is clearly more proactive when it comes to showing affection physically and putting it in words. Jim is more reserved - not because he loves her less, but because he has a different love language;

initially, Jim idolized Claire - and it's the main reason why he couldn't talk to her. Once he learned she was also just a normal girl with her own flaws and insecurities, the problem disappeared. And I like to think that it was what transformed a crush into true love;

Claire actually dislikes guys trying to pick her up with some dumb lines - she has experienced too many of those. That's why Jim's confession in Unbecoming failed;

Claire went with Steve to the concert not because she found Steve nice, or enjoyed his company, or something, but because it was her fave group. She'd go there with anyone - even with a literal goblin;

Jim giving everything to save Enrique meant a lot to Claire. It impressed her even more than if he went to the same extent to save her;

probably, an unpopular opinion, but I believe that if Claire hadn't tried to find the truth herself, Jim would have never told her about the supernatural. I feel there were high chances for them to end dating anyway, but with Jim keeping trolls secret just to protect Claire's peaceful world. Claire would learn it in any case eventually;

I like to headcanon that Jim came to like some things Claire enjoys, like theatre and Papa Skull;

on the other hand, Claire learned cooking from Jim - I feel that initially, she couldn't cook (not to the level of Barbara of course);

the point I absolutely adore is that both Jim and Claire entered each other souls and managed to free each other from a mind-controlled state. I feel that they had touched each other's souls, creating an unbreakable bond. By unbreakable, I mean unbreakable - it survived the time travel (and I'll die on this hill);

Barbara obviously likes Claire, but I feel that both Ophelia and Javier came to like Jim eventually too, despite their initial not-that-good impression;

I also strongly believe that Claire's worries for Jim played a huge role in the development of her shadow magic during Wizards. Like come on, her lover was seemingly dying - and she couldn't do a thing. If despair isn't a negative emotion, IDK what counts;

I also feel that Claire would stay with Jim, no matter what form he took. Yes, it includes even if he stayed full troll. Though, I bet Jim would most likely attempt to convince her to give up on him. It wouldn't work;

despite liking Romeo and Juliet, Claire is someone who'd rather fight and survive for her love, even though she's willing to sacrifice herself if there's no other way;

a bonus dumb headcanon is that Jim was constantly questioning if he was worth Claire's love. In his head, Claire's type looked suspiciously like Douxie, so he genuinely freaked out after seeing Douxie in close vicinity. It was an absolutely delusional view as Claire would gladly befriend someone like Douxie, but that wasn't her type.

a muse on fire

pairing: aemond targaryen x fem! reader

warnings: none for this chapter, will eventually contain dirty nasty passionate smut (lol)

notes: this is my first fanfic, so feedback is appreciated! I'll continue this if I feel like anyone cares, lol. Still deciding on a lot of things, hence the switching between perspectives. Also the title will most likely be changed I couldn't think of a good one. I also have not decided whether to fill in readers name with Y/N or ___.

Gevie = beautiful

chapter two

chapter three

chapter four

Third Person

“Of course, we want him looking well. Strong for the realm.” The Queen impressed upon her .”I will portray The King as strong as his soul remains, Your Grace. It will not be an issue.” She had been given-no, rather, fought for- the opportunity to be court painter. It had taken time and countless of her works overlooked in favor of higherborn, silly lords who could barely hold a paintbrush. And now, it was time for a new Targaryen family portrait, the first one to be done by her. The Princess Helaena, a dear friend of hers, had just given birth to her twins, Jaehaerys and Jaehaera, and an updated piece was required. Bless her soul, she suggested ___. The Princess suffered mentally, although she was blessed with great gifts, they cost her much. As one of her former ladies, ___ had become one of her greatest confidantes through the years. Since marrying the Prince Aegon (whom ___’s opinion of was not high at all) she had become more drawn into herself. Since the birth of her children, though, ___ felt her spirit bloom again, and she was so very happy for her dear friend. As a woman artist, one who also felt things very deeply and passionately, she also had trouble containing her thoughts and emotions. As children, both of them were prone to episodes, and as adults, they both would suffer still, mostly in silence. She supposed that is why her and Helaena had bonded at a young age, and she was chosen as one of the Princess’s ladies.

Y/N perspective 

My whole life, art has been my purpose, my reason for ticking. Court did not thrill me, no, but the things I was afforded to see as one of the Princess’s companions made all of the bullshit palatable. As an artist, I am an observer. The lush gardens, beautiful (and some not, inside or out, however they may try to hide it) people, exotic animals, architecture, and other finery were often my subjects in my sketches and paintings. My tendency to drift off, as I was doing then, was interrupted by the Queen finishing her walk around the room to tell her various servants how to set up for the portrait I would be creating. “Your Grace” I said, and bowed my head with a slight courtesy as she went to the door. “Helaena, will you be staying with Lady __, or would you like to take tea with me before my council meeting?” she inquired. “No, mother.” Healena said. “Me and __ are planning on doing some sketch work in the gardens!” Healena loved to sketch too. In previous years, she saw how it would calm me when I was working. She had so much going on in her head, and drawing could help her stress greatly, although her tastes were limited to the insect variety when studying things to draw. It did not bother me one bit, though. Seeing my friend in a state of peace was worth any proximity to bugs. Some of them were rather beautiful too, I thought. I had even started a few sketches of my own of the creepy crawly variety. 

With that in mind, we made for the gardens. The halls of the Red Keep were extra quiet and dull today, no doubt the bright sun having an impact on the noble’s spirits, driving them to the main lawn to laze about and enjoy the afternoon. Upon arriving, I was thinking about how I was grateful that we were headed for the private gardens, in a more secluded part of the castle. I had no desire to witness the bubble-headed people in court go about their business. As subjects, they grew tiring to study fast. While the lawn spread around the caste and had their own enormous garden, Helaena and I’s destination was to the center of the castle, a much more secluded area of gardens mainly reserved for the royal family and their favorites. I had requested the servants set up a cozy area for her and I to spend our afternoon. Sitting down on the delicately embroidered cushions, I took a moment to look up at the sky and breathe in the fresh air. As Helaena settled, I asked her, “What will you be drawing today?” , though I already knew the answer. She smiled widely, and had her personal staff bring forth a tiny golden cage and she gently popped it open, which her newest interest, an orchid mantis she had found resting on the edge of a tulip  last week, came forth. “I’ve named her Ellaira” she said, giving the bug a gentle pet while setting up a branch for him to stand on while she worked. This specimen she had found was a rather interesting and delicate one, I thought. I decided I’d sketch it too.

Third Person

As time passed, both of you engrossed in your work, neither of you at first heard the footsteps approaching. With the serving staff walking about, attending to both your needs through the afternoon, you figured it was one of them. But as the footsteps grew closer, something drew you to look up from your favorite pastime, despite being deep in concentration. Upon seeing him approach, (unfortunately with his brother slightly tailing behind him, scuffing his feet along the way, )you thought about how regal he looked next to Aegon. As if the universe was sending a signal to the people he walked amongst that their roles should be reversed. How threatening, how dangerous he must look to the untrained eyes who knew him not as you did. But the truth was, he was dangerous. Very dangerous to most. Around court, he adopted a stiff stride, quick, as if he always knew exactly where he was intending on going. This was in sharp contrast to his elder brother, Aegon, who had developed a kind of slouchy, dragging walk, who tended to go wherever he deemed would provide him the most pleasure at the moment, and was easily changeable. But today, the younger brother seemed more relaxed, more loose. His strides were longer and quieter, and from across the courtyard, he made eye contact with you, and you smiled immediately.  He slowed to a halt in front of you two. “Sister, how fare you today?” He asks, although never breaking the eye contact between you two. As Aegon stood back and kicked the dirt around his feet, the younger Targaryen even went to sit on a spare cushion facing opposite you two. The sun must have had a calming effect on him today too, you thought. The relaxed mood seemed to suit him well. “Brother,” Helaena says, “Although I am flattered by the inquiry, I wonder if your intention is truly to ask me.” she said, and giggled. Helaena was never one for subtly when it came to embarrassing her brothers. At this, his eye flickered back to his sister, as if he was just remembering to match his face with his words.  

 “Aemond, hello, my Prince.” you said, as he grabbed your hand not holding your pencil, and brought it to his delicate and full lips, laying a chaste kiss on top of it, although you could feel the extra unnecessary second he spent dragging his lips across it and inhaling your scent. At this, you felt your hand grasp his tighter, and shivered slightly, telling yourself it must have been the breeze that entered the courtyard that gave you the chill. He smirked, and let go, lingering by taking his time to remove his fingers from yours. Although the silent exchange was over in a few seconds, it did not go unnoticed by Helaena. She was far too perceptive. She smiled softly but said nothing though, mercifully, (as you already felt the blush spreading from your cheeks to your neck and beginning to bloom on your chest) and went back to observing her mantis crawl across her fingers. “Lady ___, what has been occupying yours and my dear sister’s afternoon?” You explained of his sister’s new mantis, and that was what you two were sketching this afternoon. Endlessly curious of him, you then asked him how he had spent his time. “I have been reading in the lawn, soaking up some warmth, he explained, and then added- and now am escorting this oaf masquerading as my brother to do some sword training. It is a lazy day and I could use some easy practice.” He says, while scowling at Aegon. Turning his attention back to you, he continued softly, “Although, if I had known you were in here, hiding away, I would have much rather come to seek you out earlier.”  “I do so love to be read to.” you shyly said, smiling, remembering the times he had when you were but children, and then feeling as if you should include Helaena as an attempt to dispel the mist of intimacy that had settled between you and Aemond, you lamely added, “and so does she!” But Helaena had not looked up. She held Ellaria so close to her face, and was watching intently. “What came from your pencil and mind today, dōna run?” Aemond asked, and gently reached for your sketchbook, giving you time to push his hand away if you wished. With others, you only let them see the finished piece. The facade of perfection and high standard you held for yourself and your work mattered most. Those who realized the truth of you could surely hurt you and wield it against you. But Aemond was allowed to look, allowed to take, as you had secretly trusted him more than anyone, although at this time you could not explain why. You just knew you couldn’t shake the safe feeling that bloomed within you when he was near. Taking the sketchbook from your hands, you felt his palm lightly brush the back of your hand holding the book. Taking his time to  look at your work, he gently smiled, looked up at you, and said “Gevie.” The blush that threatened to overtake you was turning into a promise, with your cheeks becoming deeper and deeper shades of red quickly. You felt too exposed for this public crowd. A loud “UGGGHH” from Aegon behind you broke the flow of conversation between you and Aemond, and you were almost grateful. Revealing yourself so fully in front of others was not yet something you were comfortable with, and the prospect of looking like a pathetic love stricken maiden in front of everyone made you want to gag. “Brother. Now. I grow impatient of ladies’ tales and doings.” Aegon moped, urging Aemond on. Unable to hold in your eye roll, you pretended to glance up to the side and let it fly. Aemond noticed though, and grinned while he rose to his feet. “Sister, ____, I have to tend to this rat, but I will see you both soon, I am sure.” Pushing Aegon forward and beginning to exit, he briefly stole a second  to look back at you and smile. In that moment, the sun shining through the courtyard roof hit his silver hair perfectly, and illuminated his features, including his exposed eye and high, proud cheekbones. In that moment, he was all you could see. He looked like a young God. He is beautiful. You could have dropped to your knees, prayed to him, and worshiped him. And oh, how you wished to. 

dōna run = sweet thing 

Gevie = beautiful

𝕨𝕙𝕖𝕟 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕨𝕒𝕟𝕥 𝕥𝕠 𝕕𝕣𝕒𝕨 𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕞

featuring annie, mikasa, sasha, and hange.

reader is gender neutral so anyone can enjoy <3

warnings: none

annie doesn't mind that you try to draw her while she's working out. of course, she thinks you're crazy for trying to draw a moving target, but she won't stop you. once you get past the fact that a moving human is very hard to draw, there's a lot of opportunity for dynamic poses. the final product is definitely worth the slow and painful process. "didn't think you'd be able to do it," she says, looking over you shoulder, "it looks nice." then she gives you kiss on the cheek and walks away

the ideal drawing reference is mikasa. she stays very still, holding whatever pose you ask for with ease. you have a calm conversation about whatever comes to mind, anything from the weather to your deepest secrets. there's probably calm music playing, matching the serene beauty of the woman that is mikasa. of course the drawing is the most beautiful thing you've ever created and she's just in awe of your skill. the whole process is wholesome bonding time and it might become a regular thing

sasha is so very excited. like, can't sit still, bouncing up and down, super chatty excited. you have to tell her to stay still a few times, but eventually give up, since she goes back to being energetic within a minute or two anyways. she's got this big dorky grin on her face, the sort that's always contagious, and you're so glad you can immortalize it. she will treasure this drawing forever... if she can get it from you. she will absolutely try to draw you in return and, while it's a bit of a mess, it is now your prized possession.

hange tries their best to be a good model, they really do. but they've got a little too much energy, so there's a lot of slight position adjustments. you had to redraw one arm like three times. you let them ramble to you about whatever they're researching, only half listening and hardly ever responding but thoroughly enjoying the sound of their voice. when you tell them to stop talking so you can draw their face they look so offended, before realizing why you asked and making a silly face just to annoy you. they're totally in awe of the finished product. "it's a little me made of lead! how do you do that?!"

might make a part two with some of the boys... but who?
