Jessie: Can you say something-.. like, are you okay?
[Ivan buried his head in hands and squeezed his eyes shut. He wanted to say something-.. he wanted to say a million things, but his voice had long since abandoned him]
Jessie: I wasn’t sure what to do at first, y’know-.. but by the time I tried to find you, I couldn’t.
[Ivan offered a muffled scoff]
Jessie: You were never at home! I didn’t have your number, Hunter went back to prison, Clara moved-.. I really tried.
Jessie: I even thought Miya might know where you’d gone but I never saw her again-.. Lucie’s closed, the Front closed… I figured it was all connected to what was going on in the news.
Ivan: So, y’gave up?
Jessie: Not exactly, I spent hours scouring dating apps, social media-…
Ivan: It’d help if y’got my fuckin’ name right.
Jessie: I’m bad with names, okay-.. and how was I supposed to know you were a family man, rather than a crook?
Ivan: I s’pose it’s a long story…
[Jessie snorted, wiping her eyes with her sleeve]
Ivan: I’m sorry, I’m just-.. it’s a lot t’take in is all. I’m pretty gutted I’ve missed so much.
Jessie: Really?
Ivan: ‘Course! That’s my lil’ guy, ain’t it?
Jessie: I didn’t think you’d care.
Ivan: That’s a bit presumptuous-.. y’don’t even know me.
Jessie: Maybe it was just easier to think that way.
Ivan: I’ll give y’that…
Jessie: He’ll be so excited to know he has a daddy now; he’s forever asking questions about him.
[Ivan couldn’t help but smile, he wasn’t sure he’d ever have kids, and now he suddenly had two]
Jessie: I don’t expect child support, by the way. Like, I have a good job n’ stuff, and my mom’s pretty well off too-.. she lives nearby, actually.
Ivan: Eh, we’ll figure somethin’ out…
Jessie: So, what now?
Ivan: S’pose we oughta get t’know each other?
Jessie: Is the little girl-…
Ivan: Mine? Yeah.
Jessie: Uhm…
Ivan: Surrogate.
Jessie: Ah.
[Ivan tried his best not to tear up as Jude hurtled towards them, smiling the same goofy smile he’d seen in dozens of his own childhood photographs]
Jessie: C’mere-.. I’ve got a huge surprise for you!
[Ivan’s brow shot up; he thought Jessie would’ve wanted to explain the situation to Jude later-.. or in private, but he didn’t seem too phased by the news]
Jude: You’re my daddy?
Ivan: Sure looks like it, bud.
Jude: [gasps] Does that mean I have a doggy?!
Jessie: He’s obsessed with dogs, probably because we can’t have one…
Ivan: [chuckles] Aye, me n’ Oreo are a package deal.
Jessie: We’ll see Oreo again soon-.. c’mon, we’re already way past late.
[Jude frowns briefly. He’d rather stay here, but school was exciting too, and he knew better than to argue]
Jessie: I’ll call you later, yeah?
Ivan: Please…
Jude: Bye Oreo, bye daddy, bye-.. man and baby!
…
Ivan: The fuck just happened, B?
[Bruno held Ivan closely, leaving his rhetorical question unanswered]
Ivan: I swear I ain’t cheated on you, I-…
Bruno: I know.
Ivan: But-…
Bruno: He’s too old for that-.. I know.
[Ivan stared at the floor, his mind moving too fast for him to keep up. He wanted to yell, laugh and weep all at once]
Bruno: Let’s go home. We’ll take the day off, okay?
[Ivan nodded as Bruno nudged him to his feet, forever grateful for his ridiculously calm demeanour]

The Grim Reaper returned to claim the last remaining mini goat and sheep on the ranch (and the interaction worked perfectly with no glitches at all 😑).
I lost track of how long Aries and Espresso had been alive and I'm still devastated that they're gone 😭
Went to a Nerikiri Workshop today (these wagashi sweets made from white bean paste, we formed a peach blossom, a prince & princess!) and girl next to me who speaks perfect japanese was like .."i see you👀" pointing to my phone case-
anyway randomly found another DL stan today lmao had a good talk today xD
Monster au mini Yuu: I saw Ruggie take some shampoos from the hotel. So I took some things too. Then some bigger things. I like stealing. It makes my heart go fast.
Jack: "You really shouldn't be stealing things from others, Yuu. That's a bad thing to do. What if someone were to steal your toys?"
Ruggie: "Ah, come on, they're still young, and it wasn't like they stole anything from the Mystery Shop. Compared to the other kids back home in the slums, they don't need to steal to survi...uh, Yuu, what do you have there?"
Mini!Yuu: "A knife!"
Jack and Ruggie: "NO!!!"
Pffft, while I can't imagine mini!Yuu being in that hotel scenario, I can imagine the little toddler swiping cookies and things they think are toys to play with. 😂 Food is kind of a given as little kids are always hungry just like teenagers, so the boys just learn to get a little extra of the thing Yuu might target on their trays when they look away for a moment (though it's hard to ignore the giggles underneath the table).
Jamil nearly had heart failure when he noticed a tiny hand reaching up to grab one of the veggies he was cutting, let alone when the fingers came so close to the knife!
If it's shiny things that mini!Yuu tends to swipe though, it's typically associated with the bird-monster behaviors. If a student finds their pen missing, they look to Yuu first if they know the toddler was in the area. The staff wonder if it's because they picked up on some of Crowley's habits for collecting shiny things (aka his keys and mirrors) or if it's something that's natural to humans. If its colorful things or soft things they take though then they start to wonder if it's more of a comfort sort of trait that humans develop at that age or if it's a call for attention.
If it's the latter though the boys and staff will make sure that mini!Yuu gets as much attention as they want while teaching them not to steal! Especially to avoid another incident as the toddler running with a knife or pair of scissors. 😅
When Cater got a new super soft pillow for his room, he couldn't help but watch as Yuu--who liked it so much--tried to take it with them before they were told to put it back by Trey. He wasn't even mad because it was hilarious seeing Yuu trying to stuff the large pillow either under their shirt or inside their little backpack, and he got some cute videos of the incident!
The mini animal squad is investigating the ranch's newest resident... Much to her dismay.
[transcript under cut]
Lorenz: Who's this?
Annabelle: I'm not sure.. I think they're a really big goat, but they don't look like you and Mocha. Perhaps they're a cow? I've never seen a cow but they could be one.
Thunder: *wakes up* This...
I don't like this.
Wait season four of the dragon prince finally dropped!? Well I know what I am watching tonight!
Nope not yet 😅
It was confirmed to be released this year (probably Fall) but no final dates yet. I'm hoping that the team will drop the trailer on SDCC panel or even reveal some character design/updates of our main trio
the panel is so good! it's the same one that had "if you got that it was a hopeful romantic ending then you're smart", "we kept torturing Jimmy until break up was final straw", "the mask becomes the man", "Jimmy wants to be a happy baby cared for by Chuck and Kim and all three practicing law" and "we regretted Saul being a sex pest so didn't line that up with Jimmy".
all of that in one panel?!?!!? every time there's a new bcs-related podcast i freak out because i turn into jenny slate when she said she had to stop following nasa on twitter because it made her crazy 😂 everything they say is such a gift though!!! galaxy brain shit!!!
