Hi I’ve had this PPG Foster Care AU running in my head and I’m finally putting it out
(just notes/refs/background until I actually have the time/energy to go further)
I’d like to note first and foremost that I’m doing everything I can to research while making these details and I know I can always use more—I’ll come back and edit with any inaccuracies or plot holes another day! I’ve been inspired to just put the idea out even if it’s not a perfectly well-done fic or comic or whatever
Trigger/content warnings (no graphic details, all mentioned): domestic violence, incarceration, unstable parent, severe depression, suicidal ideation, mental hospital (ever so slight mention), family separation, parental death, child neglect, food instability
I couldn’t decide if I wanted to write this in past or present tense and I’m at work as I’m finishing this so. I’m sorry
Ok so the whole point of this is to say the girls are not biological sisters—they’re all foster sisters with varying different bio families (with no powers) and backgrounds (they’re all in the same grade/age group), and so different reasons they’re in the system. Professor looks into fostering for similar reasons to making them in canon: to give some kids a home where they might not have anywhere else, to provide some kind of safe space where it’s needed and he wants to do what he can to make the world a little better in that sense. Besides, he’s got 3 spare rooms he’s not using anyhow. For convenience’s sake, I’m gonna say he starts fostering in 2005, where his first foster kid also happens to be one of his only 3 “long term” kids
Blossom:
- age 5 when she meets Professor and is brought into his home
- comes from a home with domestic abuse, taught that there are extreme consequences if something is not done “perfectly”
- she herself has never been hit, she’s just seen it happen to her mom few too many times
- that said she develops a habit of doing everything “perfectly” especially under the mindset of “I haven’t been hit bc I’ve done everything right” and carries a small part of that with her throughout her life
- I want to say it’s OCD but is it really an intrusive thought when you’ve known it to happen
- maybe develops DID too which is to be explored at a later date
- even still, every time Professor would raise a hand a little too close or too quickly it’d send her into a fit of tears and he learned to be much slower and more cautious around her in the time being
- unfortunately for Blossom, she got some of the worst of his inexperience and got to witness and go through all of his mistakes given she was literally his first foster and he does everything he can to make up for it after he’s learned/been experienced enough
- she entered the system when her father was finally incarcerated, which also meant her mother wasn’t financially able to support the two of them as a housewife
- she’s also incredibly depressed and keeps having bouts of suicidality and they just can’t keep a child around that too much, not with the risk of her waking up to having no guardian
- as much as she loves and misses her mom, she’s incredibly grateful that someone was willing to take her in and take care of her before visits
- she bonds with Professor almost instantly when she gets curious about his science experiments and he shows her some child-safe ones and they end up doing that together, at least once a week
- after he learned about her interests in reading and when she really started getting interested in science with him he does what he can to introduce new reading suggestions for her age level and things of the sort
- after Blossom there was a few months period of kids only needing a place for a few nights to about 2 weeks before getting sent back home or with another family member, so she tried not to get attached to any other foster siblings until the second long-term kid
- she still wanted a playmate for the few times that she would pick up dolls or whatever, just didn’t really ask for the fear of being “needy” (issues with trauma) or rely on since it’s out of her control
- by the time she’s 12 her mother has been kind of in and out of a mental hospital, so visitation days are wary and sometimes it’s literally just sitting in the room(???? gotta look into how mental hospital visitations work) with her for a few hours
- the second long-term kid is introduced to her about 9 months after being taken in, around 3 months after her 6th birthday
Bubbles:
- had only just recently turned 6 when Professor takes her in
- cried more than any of the other kids Professor had worked with by that time and didn’t really know how to take it
- her parents died suddenly, horrifically, and only had her 16-year-old brother left to take care of her
- since he’s also a minor, he went into the system too, and they got separated along the way (he was placed first)
- she misses him every day, and Professor would often try to get in contact with her brother’s foster home/family to get him to reunite with her
- unfortunately, her brother isn’t as well off as Bubbles is, and there’d be either strict rules from the home or his foster family would refuse to meet
- the last time he tried calling, they had his number blocked, and Bubbles cried for 3 days straight
- she still absolutely adores Blossom, and was always more than happy to color/draw or play with her
- they’re an amazing support system for one another, especially during school
- Bubbles is later adopted providing there’s not much of anywhere else for her to go
- about a year after is when her brother is on his own and is finally able to make contact with Professor again, and he’s not financially able to support Bubbles and himself so he just stops by whenever he can or will babysit or bring the kids to/from school whenever possible
- he’s a good boy
- the period of kids still kinda coming in and out lessens significantly with one room now being filled
- she misses it, a little bit, since it meant she got to make a new friend
- she misses the way her life used to be, her parents and her brother, although she’s still incredibly happy to have Blossom and Professor and to still see her brother every so often
- a year or two after she’s adopted comes a third placed with them, and it takes them a little while to readapt and even longer with someone they don’t have a near-immediate connection with
Buttercup:
- introduced to the Utonium fam about a month after her 10th birthday
- expected to be like a mini adult by the age of like 6
- she’s sheltered and clothed so it took forever for the right people to find out she’s been neglected
- eventually her parents would kinda forget to bathe her or sometimes provide meals so that’s how she got removed from them (I guess like a less drastic/severe “Opal” situation???) (linked: short film by Jack Stauber)
- her mother’s voice is sweet like honey, somehow even more so when asking her to stop screaming for a need to be met (“The whole neighborhood’s going to think I’m a bad mother.”) (0:16) (linked: clip from “Moral Orel”)
- her father’s voice is stern and reflective, he could be a great speaker or narrator so long as no one listens to a word he says (“It’s your problem. I trust you know how to deal with it.” “I’m only 9!” “That’s no excuse.”) (0:43) (linked: same “Moral Orel” clip)
- poor volume control also gets her in a bit of trouble with Professor just of course not nearly as bad/much, even less so when he realizes she can’t control it
- some behavioral issues as well which kinda come with being neglected
- absolutely hates visitations, always comes back in a horrid mood and usually slams the door and won’t leave/allow anyone in for a day and a half if she can allow it
- it gets even worse after she starts getting used to/comfortable with the treatment she gets with Professor vs at home
- it takes a while for the other two to warm up to her, mostly with Bubbles pushing hardest to find ways they can all hang out together
- plus when her brother met her when picking them up from from school one day they got along almost instantly so she wanted to see that charm of her more often
- near constant arguments with Blossom bc negative attention is still attention
- especially when Blossom has to do everything “the right way” and Buttercup likes getting that blow-up reaction (again: negative attention is still attention) when she doesn’t follow her rules/patterns
- anyway after a few months she was looking for a volleyball opponent and so taught her how to play and ended up really liking it so their relationship started improving
- she’d also have some dance parties with Bubbles so their relationship improved too
- otherwise she’d draw/color with them once in a while and played some pretend games on the rare occasion so things started getting easier
- especially when Professor got them (1 to share) an Xbox or PlayStation or something for Buttercup’s first Christmas with them and they all started playing video games together
- her parents have also taught her that she’s just dumb since she struggles to read and quite literally gave up once she started kindergarten and her teachers have had very little say other than that they hope whatever is happening improves (gotta love the educational neglect /s)
- her grades/participation goes up while with rest and Professor actually gets her tested with dyslexia so she can get the help she needs
- it takes a while to learn that she can ask nicely for a need to be met, positive attention can be acquired, she’s not stupid, she can ask for help, and she’s allowed to feel her feelings
I’ve yet to decide if their names are as they are in canon or I might go with the names in the ep “Oops, I Did It Again!” (Bubbles as Bertha, Buttercup as Betty, I don’t remember Blossom’s) or if Blossom and Buttercup get adopted as well. I’ll have to look more into reunification and qualifications for that, and even then develop more of a storyline with each of their families to really get a good idea. Hope it’s ok so far though!! I’ll come back another day to edit/update with any other research or ideas to fill in any gaps
