Sometimes a family is a dumbass rockstar doing his best, a sharpshooter with family issues, a nearly 50yo tank with anxiety, their therapist who draws a lot, some lady with self-worth issues who tried to kill them, and the cat they use as a personal telephone.

Sometimes a family is a candle man, two fairies holding lanterns, an axolotl, a horse who sucks at jumping, a human skull, the prisoner in the basement, and a shit ton of cryptids

*Ragnvaldr, Cahara, Enki and the girl chilling in a relatively safe room in the Dungeons*

Ragnvaldr: *heating up a half moldy meatpie*

Cahara: *trying to lockpick a chest*

Enki,leaning back on the only bed and busy getting high as shit on unfiltered 15th century opium:

The girl:....

Enki: hey, wanna see something funny?

The girl, hesitatnt: [yes]

Enki: *sets Cahara's pants on fire with pyromancy trick and bursts out laughing*

Cahara and Ragnvaldr, screaming and trying to put the fire out: MAN WHAT THE FUCK

The girl, silently laughing at the scene unfolding Infront of her and smiling at Enki:

Enki, blowing smoke rings: so lemme show you how to set bitches on fire-

Sometimes a family is a man burdened with a legacy of death, his half-sister who can talk to ghosts, a runaway who looks so much like his dead brother it makes him physically unwell, two transiently homicidal IT furries, and the digital manifestation of his father's murderous tendencies that has possessed the previous three of those people.

Lilith: Became head of the emperor’s coven, was disillusioned by Belos’s lies, defected, got soft, is now a huge nerd

Hunter: Became head of the emperor’s coven, was disillusioned by Belos’s lies, defected, got soft, is now a huge nerd

I want this potential connection to be explored so bad

#toh #toh spoilers #not really but just in case #yall been knew they were nerds #the owl house #anyways i know we've all been excited for hunter and Eda #but honestly we're sleeping on this #like the fact that they basically hated eachother but they have so much in common #hilarious #lilith is an EXCELLENT hunter new parental figure candidate #they can study weird esoteric historical magic together <3 #y'know we keep talking about who could end up being hunter's parent #why not all of them #joint custody between lilith eda darius and camila #hunter clawthorne deamonne noceada #sometimes a family is #you #two sisters who are descended from the guy you were cloned from #the last titan #a girl from the human realm and her mom and their adopted sister/daughter basilisk who is also a clone #some guy you used to work with who turns into muck every once in a while #and some kind of bird-worm-thing

I was going to make a joke about Pinocchio (Guillermo Del Torro) about how “a family can be” But then he end with the three grave stones got to me

I will absolutely never be over the fact that one of the highest drama moments in Bioshock (2007) is the line

Would you kindly go get stepped on by a big daddy 😩🥵

Sometimes a family is a magic bird-child and a grumpy kickboxer.

Seriously play Clash: Artifacts of Chaos, it is really good and the devs actually listen to the players' suggestions for things like bugfixes and QOL additions

Sometimes a family is you, your captain, your life partner, and her girlfriend you are on rocky terms with

I always really loved Amaya and Corvus, so seeing this moment - even after two years on Ezran's council rather than directly under Amaya's command - was so sweet, as well as the mutual love and respect (and he signs it, too)

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt

#talk tag #IT KILLS ME. REIGEN IS NOT MOB'S DAD. HE HAS A DAD. INGO IS NOT AKARI'S DAD. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAN ANYONE HEAR ME #(not even necessarily to say that ingo is in his late 20s but still) #(even if he was a 30-40-50 year old no matter how old he is no fucking teenager is gonna call some guy they met as a 15 year old ''dad'') #GAI IS NOT A FATHER FIGURE TO ROCK LEE HE WAS LIKE 13 WHEN HE WAS BORN! PLEASE!!!!!!!! #one time i saw that a ​person wrote a fic where mario was like a father figure to luigi. #they are TWIN BROTHERS. #not what this about but idk where else i can say anything about this. #just horrible #also sometimes someone is just An Older Friend like no familial relationship just a friend or acquaintance who is a lot older than you

obsessed with villains who you just KNOW are aware deep down in their heart that they've done something unforgivable, but the only way to never admit that or face the guilt is to keep doing it over and over again until they don't feel guilty about that first time anymore

#sky speaks #i am contemplating walter white and phillip wittebane #if i never admit it even to myself #then i can go on living like this forever #phillip says as he kills his brother again #as walter white orders the death of another person 'for his family' #and sure they do LIKE the power #but i just knowww it burns sometimes

Fives and Dogma have a plan. They'll keep their heads down on Coruscant unless and until they're needed to help their siblings convince the galaxy that Chancellor Palpatine can't be trusted. Hiding may not feel as heroic as the war they're used to, but it's what will keep the kid in their care safe. Ven has a plan, too. Her dad and Uncle Fives are sad without their family, so she’ll make friends with one of the uncles she always sees patrolling and get him to promise he won’t take Dad and Fives away, and then they can let the family grow. Her dad is her hero; she wants to be his. The trouble is, Chancellor Palpatine has a plan, too, and no room for heroes of any kind.

Just casually posting this here in case you read Clarity and its sequels (aka the one where Dogma is adopted by a kid) and didn’t catch that I have finally written a new one. Now with more accidentally adopted children!

probably time for this story i guess but when i was a kid there was a summer that my brother was really into making smoothies and milkshakes. part of this was that we didn't have AC and couldn't afford to run fans all day so it was kind of important to get good at making Cool Down Concoctions.

we also had a patch of mint, and he had two impressionable little sisters who had the attitude of "fuck it, might as well."

at one point, for fun, this 16 year old boy with a dream in his eye and scientific fervor in heart just wanted to see how far one could push the idea of "vanilla mint smoothie". how much vanilla extract and how much mint can go into a blender before it truly is inedible.

the answer is 3 cups of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup milk alternative, and about 50 sprigs (not leaves, whole spring) of mint. add ice and the courage of a child. idk, it was summer and we were bored.

the word i would use to describe the feeling of drinking it would maybe be "violent" or perhaps, like. "triangular." my nose felt pristine. inhaling following the first sip was like trying to sculpt a new face. i was ensconced in a mesh of horror. it was something beyond taste. for years after, i assumed those commercials that said "this is how it feels to chew five gum" were referencing the exact experience of this singular viscous smoothie.

what's worse is that we knew our mother would hate that we wasted so much vanilla extract. so we had to make it worth it. we had to actually finish the drink. it wasn't "wasting" it if we actually drank it, right? we huddled around outside in the blistering sun, gagging and passing around a single green potion, shivering with disgust. each sip was transcendent, but in a sort of non-euclidean way. i think this is where i lost my binary gender. it eroded certain parts of me in an acidic gut ecology collapse.

here's the thing about love and trust: the next day my brother made a different shake, and i drank it without complaint. it's been like 15 years. he's now a genuinely skilled cook. sometimes one of the three of us will fuck up in the kitchen or find something horrible or make a terrible smoothie mistake and then we pass it to each other, single potion bottle, and we say try it it's delicious. it always smells disgusting. and then, cerimonious, we drink it together. because that's what family does.

#this is true #writeblr #warm up #relatedly for some reason one of our Favorite Jokes #amongst the Siblings #is like - ''this is so good u will love it'' #while we are reacting to something we OBVIOUSLY find viscerally disgusting #like we will be actively retching and be like ''nooooo it's so good'' #to the point that i sometimes get nervous if someone outside my family is like oh u should try it its good #(obvi we never force each other to eat anything. we are all just curious birds and #like. we're GONNA try the new thing.) #edit to answer why we had so much vanilla: #my mom is a very good cook and we LOVE to bake. so she just had a lot of staples in the house. #it's one of those things that's like. have u ever continuously thought ''ah i should get butter im probably out'' #even tho u are not out of butter. so u end up with like 5 years of butter. #my mom would do that in a costco but like with vanilla extract #to be fair we WERE always using WAY TOO MUCH bc we were kids #so like she was right to stock up #ps. yes we were VERY sick after this lol i just didn't want to include it in the post in case ppl had an ick about that #u can tell it's real bc we knew "oh no we fucked up that's too much vanilla to waste'' but our reaction was to just. keep drinking it #> sibling understanding that vanilla extract isn't free > knowledge mother doesnt mind if we use it for milkshakes #> sibling choice to maybe get in a loophole of ''not wasting it'' if we drink it bc that's the same as using it (not throwing it out) #listen bud i was like 13 and my sister was like 9 #when my mom discovered this we. got in. A LOT. of trouble. a lot of it. a LOT of it. #3rd edit bc i guess it isn't clear - i am 1 of my brother's 2 little sisters #i am the middle child #out of all the ways i have had to explain a post before being like ''did u forget a middle child can happen'' is my favorite
