I know it's not going to happen but what do you think a child between Nel & Alastor would be like? Personality wise or appearance

History Repeats Itself

This is goddamn ridiculous.

Heels click against shiny vinyl flooring as Nel tears off down the hallway, speeding past flyers promoting honors ceremonies and painted murals of happy children. Pushing open door after door and stomping hard enough to make her knees shake, she does nothing to hide her rage over such a bullshit situation. Her fingers twitch with the need for a goddamned cigarette, but she doesn’t trust herself to not light this private school aflame with it. Oh no, she’s not chancing that, not when she’d ruin the career she fought to earn and the schooling she pays out the ass for in one fell swoop.

Her warpath only halts when she reaches a thick wooden door simply labeled as Dean’s Office. It’s becoming increasingly familiar as of late. With a barely contained growl, she knocks the door open, steps into the room, and prepares for battle.

“She is evil!”

“That’s a strong word. I prefer the term strong-willed instead.”

“Shut it! You’re a malignant tumor on this school!!!”

“Wow, that was a good one. You’re improving your vocabulary, congratulations!”

“DEVIL!”

“You know, anything you say can be held against you in court, I’d mind your words if I were you.”

“WE ARE NOT IN COURT!!!!!”

Nel watches a teenage girl hiss and spit pure venom with all the rage of a feral creature. Her dark eyes are blazing with unfiltered fury, something Nel herself recognizes all too well. There’s no need to ask what has her raging- oh no, Nel is aware of the issue, she sure fucking knows exactly who is responsible for this mess.

Turning on her heels, Nel stares down the little shit sitting primly in a chair by the flabbergasted dean. Not a curly hair is out of her place on her head, with each chocolate strand pinned neatly back with a stylish bow. Quickly, she gives a small pat to her immaculate bumper bang like she’s brushing away some invisible dust that could possibly disrupt her picture-perfect image.

She’s a doll with smooth caramel skin and large hazel eyes.

She’s adorable with pearly white teeth and freckles dotted across her cheeks.

She’s precious with her long, poofy skirt and long, poofy hair.

She’s perfect.

Except, her mother knows better. Oh, does she ever know better.

“Sweet Christ,” Nel sighs with something that isn’t quite disappointment, but certainly isn’t glee. Nobody has breathed a word of what events called her down to the private school, again, but she’s certain that her spawn is somehow responsible because she is always responsible when chaos occurs. “Evie. What in the hell is going on here?”

“Momma, there you are!” Bouncing out of her seat, Evie skips over to her mother without a care in the world. She doesn’t bat an eye at her classmate glaring daggers at her or the dean blinking in exasperation since she’s too busy sidling up to her revered birth-giver. “Listen, this is all a big, silly mix-up. I’m completely innocent-”

“Lies-!”

“It was Roxxy who dumped the paint on her own bag to frame me-”

“NO, I DID NOT-!”

“Because why would I ever do such a terrible thing?” Looking for backup, she moves her gaze to the dean, who simply nods his head in slight agreement. “I would never jeopardize my perfect record with the threat of a conduct mark, and for what? To upset my good friend Roxxane with a ridiculous prank?”

“We are not friends!” the other teen growls, her skin turning an intense shade of crimson from the wrath boiling in her bones.

“You’re right, we’re best friends! Thank you for reminding me,” Evie chirps, her toothy smile growing wider.

Nel swats away unfortunate flashbacks that threaten to overtake the moment.

“Okay, kid, put a pin in it. Just, God, come on, we’re leaving, now. Go.” Once her daughter departs from the room with a final wave to her so-called friend, Nel stares at the dean. “Stop calling me for this bullshit. I pay this school too goddamn much money to run up here each time there’s an issue with these two- next time, deal with it.”

The door slams shut behind her, and she marches on.

Leather pumps and leather oxfords click together in time down the hallway.

“What on God’s green earth possessed you to do that?” Nel scoffs, not pausing her march to freedom for a moment. It hardly matters since her kid already has at least an inch on her, because of course she does, her legs are more than long enough to keep up with the redhead’s shorter stomps. “Dumping paint on someone’s bag? Shit, did you just forget any home training I gave you?”

“Momma!” Evie gasps in offense, her round eyes going wide. “You don’t believe in my innocence?”

“No.”

“Okay, fair enough.” Just like that, the act drops and she shrugs, clicking her shiny saddle shoes on the floor. “But I didn’t do it for fun. Well, maybe I did, but she also deserved it.”

“You cannot continue to terrorize that girl. This is the third time that there’s been an incident in the past five weeks. Every time you get yourself into a mess, I gotta hightail it up here to drag you home, and that’s time I lose with my clients, and that’s money I lose to spend on you. You think it reflects positively on me when I’m unable to run my firm because I’m wrangling my daughter?”

“I know, but-“

“Genevieve Marie Sheridan-“

“You don’t understand!”

“Then enlighten me.”

“She’s terrible!” Uncharacteristic irritation crosses over Evie’s sharp facial features, contorting them into a disgruntled expression eerily similar to the one worn by the ginger walking next to her. “I’m telling you, I have never met someone so absolutely dull and unpleasant in all my life! Sure, I’ve only been alive for fourteen years, but I’ve had a worldly fourteen years!”

“Oh, really now?”

“Momma, forget the details! What I’m trying to explain to you is that she is awful, so I’m attempting to help her become less awful with some harmless fun.”

A familiar feeling creeps along Nel’s skin. It’s a distant feeling, one she hasn’t felt in nearly fifteen years, but it’s one she can never forget, not ever. It’ll haunt her til the day she dies, and long after that too.

Cold realization begins to dawn on her.

“...What makes this girl so bad?”

“What doesn’t?” the teen snips, rolling her eyes. “She always has to argue with me or oppose me, she can never just listen to anything I say! I don’t understand. Everyone else loves me- as they should, I’m amazing.”

“Mhm.”

“But not her! Never her. She’s been against me since we moved here, what, seven years ago? All because everyone adores me due to my benevolent nature and because she’s an envious ball of rage with no friends.”

“Mhm.”

“And I always think of how repulsive she is, especially at the worst times! Did you know that I dreamed of her nasty little face the other night? She’s a true nightmare at this point. I can’t escape her even in my sleep.”

“I bet.”

“So, in conclusion, she is my number one enemy, and I will destroy her.” Evie raises her upturned nose into the air with a slight huff. “In completely legal ways, of course. Such as kindness. And a few ink bombs too.”

There it is.

Pausing at the front of the school, Nel faces the little turd fully, her initial anger fading. Hell, she can never stay mad at the kid for long; that’s her baby, no matter how tall she grows or how ruthless she becomes.

When Evie returns her mother’s softening gaze with a kind one of her own, Nel swallows down an old sadness that’s taken root inside of her. It’s been there for years, always hovering like a ghost in the background, always lingering no matter how long she ignores it. But, its presence isn’t so heavy with her kid here, even if she wears a dead man’s face and speaks in his same chipper tone.

It would be just like Alastor to have a child so eerily like himself. He could never quit the game; he’d always leave some version of himself behind to plague Nel.

Fitting. He always had to have the last laugh.

“You know, I know a thing or two about having an enemy.”

“Oh, like the DA?”

“No, not that son of a bitch, though he’s worthless,” she grumbles. “No, I had someone else I swore to destroy a long time ago.”

“Well, did you?” she asks, and Nel gives her a strained, tired smile.

“Yes and no. That’s a story for another day. For now, all I’ll tell you is that you need to be careful, and that maybe you should spend some time using that big brain to decide what you really think of this nemesis of yours.”

“Well, I hate her. I don't need to think about that.”

Nel rolls her eyes. “No doubt, but hate can sometimes…ah, fuck it, I’ll save it.” With a shake of her head, she waves away her words. “You’ll figure it out, baby. Now come on, we’re getting the hell out of here. Goddamn ridiculous school.”

“Yes ma’am!” Evie skips along happily next to Nel, contagious cheer radiating off of her. “We need to go anyway. I’d like to be at least down the block before the dye bomb I placed in Roxxy’s locker detonates.”

“...The what?”

There’s a distant pop, and then a muffled scream from deep inside of the school building.

Evie blinks innocently, and then Nel sighs.

History always repeats itself.

#I really hope you like Evie because she's existed in my brain for almost as long as I've been writing Yours Truly #I don't feel like this drabble did her true justice either #she is the little shit of all time #also I couldn't resist making her enemy have an “ox” name whoopsie #she's unfortunately very similar to her father #Nel's genetics got bodied #evil lesbian child #don't argue with her you won't win and you'll wake up without a liver

not a fan of people saying Odin and Loki are similar in a moral or decisive sense, particularly when it comes to Thor. that makes it sound like Loki doesn't know Thor or care about him beyond what he symbolises (regarding Asgard/the throne/family/worthiness), when that's a defining part of their relationship

#like i get WHY people go 'oh Thor is like Frigga (they care™/bring Emotions in) and Loki is like Odin (calculating™ /For The Greater Good)'#but if you make such a clearcut comparison you neglect a lot of stuff that Odin and Loki do drastically different #like there are literal contrasts that are pretty evident around Thor particularly #like Odin does expect Thor to be some ideal version of himself that obeys Odin implicitly and doesn't have his own volatile emotions?#while Loki more sees that Thor isn't who he tries to pretend to be and generally encourages Thor to realize that #the most obvious parallel would be how they in TDW try telling Thor that Jane won't work out #and Odin goes for the whole 'well they're insignificant' angle despite Thor caring about the humans and Jane particularly #Odin tries to go 'here's Sif and since you shouldn't have your own preferences (they're wrong and bad) consider my choice'#he largely disregards Thor's emotions #most people do on Asgard????#like it's literally wild how everyone saw Thor being major depressed and they basically told him to pretend to cheer up #like im sorry Thor's grief means nothing to y;all. he fell in love with someone very mortal and his brother is changed forever #Loki tries putting Thor off by first off. Thor KNOWS Jane isn't going to live long he's not never thought about it #he doesn't even make the decision for Thor he tells him to consider his choice well bc it WILL hurt him when she's gone #Loki is like treats Thor like a person and Odin is like nah I own him #I feel like in converting the brother/father relationship difference over people lose the differences in those aspect #they skip to similarities of heartlessness and Machiavellian ends meeting the means when Loki overall is #a far more moral character than Thor (at the start of Thor's arc) and Odin. and a lot of culturally Asgardian ideas #that's literally part of Loki's original characterization that he DIDN'T match up with their views #he didn't do stuff like take killing lightly like it's for fun and that's one of a long list of obvious aspects that make the setup cool #don't tell me Odin and Loki are the same #like there's some blanket understanding that Loki doesn't show or care about the people he loves #while Thor and Frigga have always been softhearted and refused to sacrifice themselves for what is deemed better for everyone #don't mistake selfishness for apathy and don't say Loki didn't cry himself through the first movie because duty to the throne comes first #that's literally Thor's bit #idk

#reason i wanted to change koe's design was bc i felt like the first one was a bit too basic ig?#wanted to give it more personality beyond being a maid outfit #so a funkier skirt and shorter sleeves and gloves and stuff. idk its more koe and less maid. but still maid #other than that obviously are the two wholly new characters #honestly designing them was interesting in a way bc it was like reverse engineering andys face #i think she takes after her mom more tho #but she also does try to emulate her so thats also part of it #honestly andy is really similar to amary in a lot of ways not just bc of the whole princess thing but the family dynamics to a degree too #there are still some pretty big differences (andy wasnt abused but her father is still really strict and constraining out of worry #and amary's mom was actually kinda the polar opposite of andy's and their emulations are completely different too)#BUT #look read cepheus's flaw. hes not going to be a good guy lol #hes the type that starts out nice enough on the surface but when pushed it will become. again. ends justify the means #very.... 'my way or the highway' type guy i guess. but with power #cassiopeia s more noble than that though despite any arrogance in her skills #its like one side of a balancing act lost #again look at her power. its wings! wings mean freedom! no restraint! touch the sky!#unfortunately kingdoms arent usually about that is the thing #maybe andy can fix it now though #but honestly andy percy and ursa are pretty much all just here for convenience #it wouldve been easier to have a ref post lumping all royals and andy's entourage together. and ursa i guess idk where else shed go lol #i thought abt putting her w the zodiac knights but their theme is too uniform. background color is the same tho so same affiliation #w the royals #also does anyone get my amazing joke. shes a major. major ursa. ursa major. i know i know #ill be here all week #finn's ocs #oc references #finn's art

dear miss padfootastic: harry learning he's gonna be a dad and promptly losing his mind and going to the only person he can think of for dad advice: sirius.

gosh miss imp i have so many thoughts about this!!!!!! (i wrote almost all of this and realised that i did it post birth lol bc that’s the moment that made the most sense to me but we can easily doctor it to be pre birth as well!!)

- the first time harry holds james sirius in his hands, he has to dip out in three minutes flat to puke all over the nearest washroom. it’s sirius holding him, brushing his hair back, and soothing him on the dirty hospital floor. tells him that he did something super similar when he held harry for the first time too. it doesn’t hit harry then.

- when they’re all back at home, the first few days, it’s all a sort of frantic autopilot where he has no time to think. it’s only when things calm down a bit that he realised how his hands shake and his pulse races when he thinks about being a father. it’s not…debilitating bc it’s his duty, one he asked for, and harry’s never been one to back down from a duty. but it’s still—he doesn’t want to be a passable dad, he wants to be a good one.

- so he goes to the best one he knows: sirius.

- the thing here is, harry thinks he’s gonna be a terrible dad. he was abused and neglected in his most developmental stages of life, never really knew what unconditional love felt like let alone parental, and does not trust himself around a vulnerable defenceless child. knowledge of his anger and it’s consequences does not help.

- but also to consider: sirius had almost an exact similar experience. he was equally terrified to be a godfather for harry bc he never trusted himself w delicate things. so he knows, intimately, what’s it’s like to fear yourself.

- it doesn’t get better with one conversation. sirius knew this going in. what he does, instead, is help harry become confident by being there, always, without fail. makes him see that he’s got this down pat, and his child loves and trusts and adores him and there’s no greater privilege than that. he’s there every single time as a safety net, to tell harry that nothing will go wrong, yes, but also to prove he doesn’t need anyone else.

- it’s also a whole lot of ‘omg this is so difficult, you did this for me?????’ and just. realisations about ‘omg u changed my diaper??? i peED ON YOU??????’ that basically make it impossible for him to look sirius in the eye for a few days.

- another point to consider: harry sees sirius with jemmy from an outsider pov yeah? and he can finally see what others have all this time: how sirius looks at someone he loves wholeheartedly, how much he adores his children. and it’s humbling and awe-inspiring and a bit terrifying. imagining the full force of that love directed towards him, making him wonder what he did to deserve it

- there’s a loooooot of midnight/asscrack of morning firecalls/mirror calls etc for emergency assistance bc ‘are babies supposed to sleep like tho at! he’s been farting all night sirius iTS SO BAD! omg his poop is green padfoot is my baby toxic?????’ ykno. normal new dad stuff.

(and this is random but there’s also one,,,,forbidden conversation with sirius about it he’d ever hated him bc harry had some very unsavoury thoughts in the beginning when he had teddy that he hates himself for to this day and if he has to hear his godfather say he didn’t want him to get rid of them then he’ll do it. it’s a tough but necessary one)

#sirius black #harry potter #good godfather sirius black #this has been *languishing* in my inbox bc i wanted to write a drabble #bc that’s really what he is #since i had a similar prompt in my notes #but alas #twasnt to be #or really just—good FATHER sirius black #man this ask made me realise how long it’s been since i’ve written anything s&h :(((#my first loves #should get back probably #i just feel like. sirius would be like harry’s personal google service #bc on some level h still thinks that sirius knows everything #(not entirely wrong. in addition to being very very smart sirius is also just. unwilling to admit he doesn’t know sumn #esp to his kid.#so he spends hours finding answers to stuff he doesn’t know)#basically: he’s the best parental advice figure to have around #harry goes to him in a dad-panic all 3 times he has a child #sirius is equally patient and indulgent each time #pen’s asks

i’m like if you took all the worst traits of my mother and father but made them funnier

#it’s weird i hardly grew up around my father and yet we are so very similar. i am much smarter than him though #my mother and i are like the same person just different in that i got all of my father’s bad traits too #but what sets me apart from them both is that i was born to clown around :)

IDK how much you know about D&D, I just want to put this out there bc it's hilarious to me.

Throughout the whole show, Merlin is called a warlock, and is the only one called that, but there's no explanation given as to why.

In D&D, a warlock gets their power from their patron, sometimes a god. And one of the gods in the D&D pantheon?

Balinor.

👀

what

#idk whether to laugh or scream #my knowledge of d&d is very small but i did know that warlocks are similar to clerics in that they both have patrons (that’s it tho right?)#but i never put much thought into Merlin’s title as warlock lol #and idk what’s more hilarious: bbc unintentionally having Merlin’s dad be his magic patron or bbc intentionally doing so lmao #like if it WAS intentional then it was subtle and prob only an Easter egg for themselves????#wait i lied i think it’s more hilarious for it being unintentional #even funnier if none of them played d&d and searched up Balinor and a definition of warlock and thought ‘yeah I’ll use that’ 😂#But imagine merlin post-series believing that his conversations with his dad is like a ghost thing. Like just him finding the most magic-y #place and communing with the dead and having fun father/son bonding time bc it’s what he deserves BUT NOPE ITS BC HIS DAD IS HIS PATRON LOL #even better: Balinor doesn’t know he also thinks it like a dragonlord thing to have a ghostly connection or some shit #idk this is funny to me #bbc merlin #merlin emrys #just another thing on the list if isleldir to geek about after merlin tells him (i think i spelled his name wrong :( )#asks

I’m currently just very emotional about these pictures of Stanley Allyn Owen and Jackey Good.

#they're just so cute it's a crime #CATS Oasis of the Seas #Gus the Theatre Cat #Jellylorum #my posts #it also just feeds the father daughter stuff for me because SAO may be super young for this but he and jackey have very similar looking face #*faces #so it all evens out #i think at first glance asparagus looks near identical to his father while jelly looked near identical to her mother #but they both have shades of the other parent in them if you look closely #a nose here a smile there

HEY KANA!!! how are you? i hope everything’s good and everyone in your life! I just wanted to tell you that i found a VERY VERY VERYYYYY similar fic to yours , the « Shh baby daddy’s on the phone » one , way too similar that i’ve figured out that she literally copied your work :o her acc is momowritings and the fic is « Welcome Home »! Have a good day🤍

Hi, my darling!! I'm doing good, thanks for asking, I hope you're doing well too❤️

Thank you so much for letting me know! I read their fic and it does sound very similar to Shhh, Baby, Daddy's on The Phone 😅 but well... they didn't exactly copy my work word per word, just the storyline/idea so umm... I guess it's okay?? Would've been nice if they mentioned that they were inspired by this fic or something but I'll try to be positive and think that maybe they came up with the plot themselves LMAO

#after all this plot is very pornhub-y i'm sure someone else could come up with it #the details are very VERY similar tho 😅😅😅#also it's so funny to me that they wrote this for nanami #i get it if this was a gojo x reader fic or naoya but nanami???#the very husband very dad (not daddy just dad as in literal father LOL) nanami?#i would never have pictured him acting like that in my head but maybe that's just me #anyway thank you again for letting me know you're so very sweet i love you babe 🫶🏼#kana answers stuff

now why am i calculating what percentage of ERB songs I can guess from the first few seconds before they announce the participants. lab engineered loser

#its 70% btw #i dont really listen to most of the battles that were posted on nice peters channel #or shortly after they started the ERB channel really #those guys from the tiktoks who can guess several in a row immediately are talented because some of those instrumentals #are really similar #i will never forget back in 2018 that one time i showed my friends a rap battle (hannibal vs jack) and when it ended they looked at me and #very solemnly and genuinely said wait. do you actually enjoy this #devastating...#also more recently like a year ago i was hanging out with this girl i had a crush on and she said she only knew the ninja turtles rap battl #and i immediately went “cowabunga dude so lets get it on reptiles against the fathers of the renaissance”...#im still amazed by the amount of times i humilliated myself in front of that girl but she still hung out with me somehow.

did u kno.... that the real ending to 'here lies the abyss' if you let hawke stay behind is malcolm hawke crashing through the fade in a blaze of fire and glory going "HEY WHO'S THAT MESSING WITH MY KID???" and unceremoniously squashing the spider and then they get to talk for a little bit before hawke goes back to kirkwall and the people who love them and everything is okay actually 🥺👉👈yes it's true because I say so and my uncle works at bioware so trust me I'm right goodnight

(some dialogue between them about the revelations in Legacy under the cut, because like varric I'm a huge sap who wants to give hawke some resolution)

"Did you ever regret it? I mean, I don’t know what the minimum desired return on investment for one’s soul would be, but somehow it doesn’t feel like… like we could have ever been worth the cost. Well. Me and Carver, anyway. Bethany, I could see it."

"HAH! I’m sorry, I’m not laughing at you. It’s just that… huh. Garrett, have you had children of your own?"

"Maker forbid, I can barely keep up with my friends most days. I — No."

"That’s okay. But then I understand why you'd ask that. I’m not sure you can really know it before you feel it. I didn’t.

No. I didn’t regret it. Never, not for an instant. I know what I did, and how wrong it was, and I would stand before the Maker himself, wherever he bides now that he’s flounced out of the Golden City in a fit of temper, and tell Him to His holy face I’d do it all again in a heartbeat. The Maker is himself a father, of a sort. I like to think He'd understand. And if not... then frankly, I don't give a damn. Getting to know you and Carver and Bethany was the greatest joy and pride of my life. I'd take none of it back. And I'm so sorry if I left even a sliver of doubt about it that would lead you to think otherwise."

and then hawke is like '*playing it totally cool clearly crying, voice breaking* that's c-cool dad ;_____;' and gets a hug on his way out of the fade and goes home and everything's okay, as previously mentioned, source: my aforesaid uncle at bioware who does exist.

#dragon age #dragon age 2 #hawke #malcolm hawke #my art #me: what if malcolm hawke committed a little heresy in the name of love actually. i think that would be sexy #I'm experimenting with letting myself leave stuff sort of rough and unfinished if I lose inspiration to continue with it #a sort of artistic version of 'JUST WALK OUT! YOU CAN LEAVE!'#and it's been tempering the anxiety and perfectionism a little bit at least haha #I've never ever left hawke in the fade and I never will but the very possibility still haunts me. and thus: this #purple hawke has always seemed very understanding about what their father did in legacy to me #which is interesting -- I suppose #they're quite similar in that they too are more driven by their impulse to protect the people they love rather than any ideal or ambition
