#still feels like theres a hole in the family

I’ve been thinking a lot about late-deafened Steve, and what that actually would have looked like. Because the thing is: I love this head cannon. Boy got bashed around so much, ESPECIALLY on his left side, theres no way he didn’t come out of that with some long term damage. And I’ve been thinking about what that means for him, when his hearing starts to go, and how isolating that would be.
Except. Then I keep thinking about Robin.
Give me child-of-Deaf-adults Robin. Robin whose parents met at Gallaudet. Who were confused and upset when the doctor said, relief clear on his face, oh thank god, how lucky, your baby is normal, she can HEAR. Robin who grows up a in a Deaf home with a Deaf family. Who learns ASL before she learns English. Who never learns to be quiet because at home it doesn’t matter, so she can blast trumpet all day long to no complaints, and forever feels uncomfortable in places where she has to try to keep it down. Robin who grows up learning ASL and English and thrives, loves the way her brain works when it’s parsing languages, and starts teaching herself French and Spanish too, blasting day time Spanish soap operas constantly whenever she’s at home, shouting along with the screen. Robin who interprets for her parents, taking on burdens no seven year old should when she’s the one who has to tell her mom the cancers back. Robin who, four years later, gets to tell her dad that the surgery worked. The cancers gone. Moms gonna be ok. Robin who, at eleven, doesn’t know the sign for remission but she signs CANCER-one hand eating at the other like the disease that almost took her Mom-and signs FINISH, signs NONE, signs MOM-OKAY, MOM-SAFE, and is glad her dad can’t hear how loud her sobs are because even she’s embarrassed at the noises she’s making. 
Robin who doesn’t quite fit at home, the loud little girl in the odd quiet house (not that her house is ever quiet: if you dont realize you’re making noise you don’t do anything to tamper it), and who doesn’t quite fit at school, when she shows up in kindergarten signing instead of speaking and all the other kids make fun of her for years, call her spazzy Buckley and imitate the signs, crude and heartbreaking and she can’t even cry here because everyone can hear her. Robin who teaches herself to speak without signing, sits on her hands and tries not to internalize the hatred, but her fingers still twitch constantly along with the words. Robin who thinks she’s never going to fit in, and tries to separate out the two different parts of herself because it’s easier, most days, to pretend to be “normal” even though that feels wrong too.
Give me Robin, who knows Steve inside out and who knows what it looks like when someone can’t hear you but pretends they can. Robin who clocks Steve immediately, even though he tries to brush her off like he’s been doing to everyone. Robin who finally takes him home to meet her parents, explaining it all in the car (into his right ear, which is better than the left though still starting to fade). Robin who gives Steve the gift of understanding and hope for the future. Who holes up with him and teaches him sign, slow at first (because Steve has never been good at grammar, and he constantly furrows his eyebrows despite her pleas that eyebrows are important in ASL and he needs to use his face more or he’s going to confuse everyone, it’s the visual equivalent of lilting your voice up like every sentence is a question and it’s weird, Steve!) and then faster as he starts to realize how useful it is, starts to bring her lists full of signs to learn, starts to lean on and cherish the experience of this new way to communicate. Robin, who helps him practice lipreading even though she’s terrible at it. Robin, who finally convinces him to get a hearing aid and lets him sob into her shoulder when the doctor says it’ll help for a few years, but long term there’s probably nothing they can do, and then tells him to buck it up because there are way worse things than being a little deaf and besides, now the Buckleys will just have to adopt him for real because they did always talk about adopting a deaf child or two, if there was ever one in need.
Give me CODA Robin, whose never felt like she belonged until she nearly gets murdered by Russians with her best friend. Who brings Steve into her life, shows him Deaf culture, gives him a place where he fits. Robin who finally realizes that this is her place too, and it’s so much sweeter for getting to share it with the people she loves.
And then, after, give me Eddie knocking on the Buckley door and begging to learn ASL too. Give me Robin’s mom, somehow roped in to teaching him and the party, as they try to learn in secret to make Steve’s life easier (and their own, because ASL is god tier for pulling pranks from opposite sides of a high school cafeteria). Give me Dustin, excitedly telling Miranda Buckley to FUCK-OFF every week for months because he thinks he’s saying THANK-YOU and she finds it too funny to correct him. Give me Eddie trying to surprise Steve and ask him out on a date, but instead of signing HUNGRY, WANT YOU&ME GO AFTER WORK? he signs HORNY, WANT YOU&ME GO FUCK?
And give me Steve, who thinks about it for a long minute (partially because Eddie totally botches the grammar, but partially because he looks so hot, standing there nervous and trying to communicate with Steve in a way that will make him the most comfortable) before he smirks and signs back YEAH, and takes Eddie on the best goddamn first date of his life.

sunday morning
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pair : levi x fem!reader
warning(s): major aot spoliers, pregnancy, children, timeskip!levi, just lots of love, reader is insecure abt her postpartum body, a little suggestive, mentions of church, reader and levi have a bit of an age gap (just like 3/4 years), reader is taller than levi by like 4/5 inches
note : i am just having baby fever T.T
Tumblr media
the breeze feels good today.
it's a bright sunday morning. he never really liked sunday. he never understood the meaning of a "sunday morning." y'know, the ones where you go to church, go out to breakfast with your family, or just simply relax and sleep into the afternoon.
no, he never got that. instead, he had his sumday full of paperwork, training, or heavy cleaning. it's not like it was unexpected. he was a high-ranked soldier in the survey corps. he didn't expect anything from an already high-risk, practically 24/7 job.
so now, he feels... off. theres no paperwork to fill out. no training he needs to do. he can clean, but theres not much to clean anymore.
you could say he feels relieved. the titans are gone. everyone could finally relax without having the fear of their walls being blasted through. even better, he can relax with his wife, y/n.
he's still new to his "lifestyle." he's not used to this thing "relaxation." the windows are open, linen curtains flowing with the soft breeze. it's a good june day, neither too hot nor cold.
he's sweeping the already clean floors, wondering on what to do for the next few hours. he desperately wants to "relax" but he just doesn't know how. he sighs in distress, wiping the back of his palm on his forehead.
like clockwork, he hears the cry of a baby. his baby. setting aside the broom to stand on the nearest wall, he walks towards the nursery, painted in soft colors. he stands in the doorway for a few seconds, soaking in the lovely sight in front of him.
the baby was already soothed by his wife, who was already coddling and cooing at it with such love and adoration. "my, you have such cute fingers~" you whisper, fondling the baby's plushie fingers with your own.
"it's so bright," he thinks. today just seems so... perfect. he is still expecting something to terribly go wrong, somehow, someday. he inhales the scene in front of him, trying to burn the image into his memory forever.
you two have been together for many years, dating back to around the time when eren had finally sealed the holes in the walls. you and levi had been through a lot, and you've both seen a lot together. that in turn only made the bond between the two of you stronger and closer.
you remember the day he promised to marry you - when he was almost fatally wounded by the beast titan and had a moment of clarity did he decide that he wanted to be with you for the rest of his life. so, following the extermination of the titans, the two of you happily married.
it's astonishing how much time has passed since then, even though it's barely been a year. in that year, even despite your age (mid 30s), you fell pregnant following a few months of the wedding. you were absolutely joyful at the news. levi was too. although he didn't immediately lift you into his arms like every other "normal" guy would, his mind was racing a million thoughts per second.
on the outside, they were all sorta displeased at his lack of emotion. on the inside however, he thought his heart was going to explode due to how it felt so heavy with love, yearning, and relief. god, it was his dream to live a happy life, and now he finally has it (at the expense of his eye, fingers, and almost his entire ability to walk). he couldn't be any happier.
stepping out of his mind, he takes a few limpy steps towards you. you notice, turning around and giving him that loving smile of yours. "pretty day 'nnit?" you say. it wasn't much of a question. he replied with a soft hum, not taking his eyes off his firstborn, his son. it's crazy how much time has passed in a blink of an eye.
he remembers just as clear as day when you first told him you were carrying his child, and now his child is just a few measly weeks old. "lev, would you say he looks a lil' like you?" you tease. the baby was awake, little arms flailing and wiggling, reaching for nothing in particular.
he paid a little more attention to the baby. he was surprised at the sudden realization the resemblance the baby already has to him. black hair, little round blueish-gray eyes.. a stink face. "he's ugly like you." you tease. "how wonderful."
"yeah, luckily he'll grow up with great features." he resorts, a light smirk growing across his features. "if he grows up at all.." you giggle. he's a bit peeved that the baby looks like him, rather wishing he looked like his dashing mother instead. "i would rather he's like you though. i don't want him to be mistaken as a short asshole," he admits. "i mean, the brat isn't even half a year old and he already gives me looks."
you giggle at his comments. "i don't think he should be like me," you reply, getting up slowly and placing the now-sleepy baby into his bassinet. "i don't want him to look all nasty like me." you say, addressing your postpartum body.
even during your pregnancy, levi had noticed that you became obsessive with how your body had looked. he noticed the way you had negatively looked at yourself, and it just made him so angry at you. you looked absolutely lovely to him. "there's nothing wrong with your body, anyone who says so is an uneducated idiot with no common sense." he replied, bringing his hands to wrap around your waist.
"you're just saying that because you're biased." you sigh. "no, i'm saying that because it's true. i think you're the most beautiful woman i've ever seen, and you still are," he whispers, placing a chaste kiss onto your cheek. why would it be fair to judge you based on appearance? you love him even though he's missing like 3 fingers, face and body scared up. hell, he can barely walk anymore.
his hands squeeze at the plush skin there teasingly, earning a surprised and flustered reply of dismay from you. you tried to break away from his grasp, only for him to wrap his arms around you even tighter. bringing one hand down to grab your ass, he attaches his lips to your neck. "i love you." he whispers.
you sigh in relief as a reply. you hope you didn't wake the baby when he unexpectedly hoisted you up into his arms, carrying you into the shared bedroom you have with him.
it is a good sunday.

balloon world is GGY's princess quest theory:
so theres been speculation that Balloon world in SB is like Dr Rabbits equivalent of princess quest for Vanny because of the purple glitches inside. im here to add on some evidence to that theory
so ruin confirmed that the Princess Quest ending (free vanny) is canon. it hints at it multiple times and it pretty much confirmed. epecially with THIS room in ruin.
Tumblr media
the third princess quest (aka the cabinet that freed vanny plus killed glitchtrap) is shown on its side with a sword driven through it. implying its been conquered and shut down.
its this exact theme that made me notice it in balloon world as well.
in ruin, the room with the balloon world arcade cabinet is still accessible, even though it seemingly has no impact on the story (it was famous for being disappointing when sb first released). in that room, balloon world is also shattered. and when you put on the mask, like seeing the sword driven in princess quest with the mask on, you see this.
Tumblr media
the eclipse from balloon world is shown outside the cabinet in the AR world like the sword in PQ.
this is what the game looks like normally:
Tumblr media
and by normally i mean ONLY when you glitch it out. this screenshot is a product of using the games mechanics to reach multiple PURPLE glitches across the arcade game. and multiple (meaningless) messages appear as well. That same eclipse is shown outside the machine in ruin.
we know pretty much nothing about ggy outside of the book. so here is what i think happened by this evidence along with more from the games in general:
pre sb, very close to the actual games events, gregory had been glitchtrapped just like vanessa before suddenly freeing himself on accident. this could have happened from anything, but my idea right now is that ggy found the secret room and unknowlingly played the game that held his free will because of his love for arcade games (shown in his high scores)
queue gregory getting freed from glitchtrap and waking up with amnesia pre sb. hes stuck in the pizzaplex with no memory and is freaking out. vanny and glitchtrap immediately know he isnt under control anymore. vanny goes after him herself, posing as vanessa during business hours
gregory escapes and after freddy crashes on stage, he hides in his stomach hatch. queue security breach, where vanny sends the animatronics after gregory to bring him back to re-glitchtrap him/just kill him so he doesnt tattle (let me take you to your parents/your family is looking for you)
due to the content massacre in sb, we can only guess if balloon world had ggy hints or if it meant anything before they removed any mention at all. eclipse feels like a last minute filler, and that could work in canon too. maybe eclipse was the games way of filling that hole gregorys conciousness left in the game
and when everything is said and done post SB, when gregory kills glitchtrap for good in princess quest, the machine breaks. and anything related to the VANNI network/glitchtrap virus is leaking out into the AR world, but contained in the pizzaplex.
and thats what i think :) this amnesia + ggy theory for gregory can also work with cut voicelines from security breach + ruin. it seems like gregory still doesnt fully remember/understand that he was glitchtrapped, and him seemingly being best friends with cassie but not contacting her at all after going missing is explained by the fact that he literally didnt remember her until he saw that she existed.
and maybe the memories started coming back after that, setting up for him eventually remembering all that he did as ggy
not to mention how a ggy reveal would perfectly explain why gregory would cut the elevator if it really was him. it would at least add context.

How about Benny in SAGAU? Like a continuation with Razor?? We do not talk about your growing found family 😤
Like, how would be his 'unluckiness'? Dya cancel it or you get pulled with his shenanigans? I feel like he might introduce you to his Dads no, we are still not going to talk about it 😤😤
A little scenario kept getting into my head when Benny applies Pyro and then Razor used his Electro and y'all got yer asses pounded on the ground 💀👌🏻and just taking care of each other's wounds 🥺🥺
You better be with him whenever he opens a chest so it wouldn't only spawn veggies, but decent weapon AND mora as well! You know, actual treasures, HOYO!!
BENNYYYYY ANOTHER ONE OF MY BOYSSS
This kid also arguably needs more parental supervision just bc of his sheer bad luck, poor kid
(i adore the headcanon that no matter the person's gender, he calls them dad lol)
Like,, hoyo cursed him and he's in a world with traps, monsters, fatui, MAGIC?? 💀 bro how is Benny still alive??!!
Tumblr media
(LOOK AT HOW CUTE THEY LOOK IN THIS GIF MY BOYS 🥺)
Okay but the fact that Benny calls so many ppl dad just proves his desire for parental/sibling affection 💔
Aight since u phrased this as a continuation of this post <3 RAZOR MY BOYYYY
That is what we shall do :) ! ! !
So ur running with the wolves still lol
Also ur symbol as the Creator reader is 🦄 or 🌈, bc ur gay and special, jk its bc elements i promise lol
Or even 😑 / 😶 for language reader shenanigans
EDIT 4/11/24: HELLA forgot to say theres a sorta Part 3, its more focused on Razor living, rather than Benny tho fair warning!
Lupical for life bro
U r chillin with the pack now
Razor now has a sweet new digs, fits, and now a crazy amount of power
Bc ur just that great 💅
You have officially moved on to purchasing some leftover amenities/new furniture etc. for him and you :D
And while u could get some stuff in Springvale, like lanterns and soap and perfume and whatnot
Ur still not rlly getting furniture like a bedframe or some storage space, like a nightstand, from them
Which u dont need bc u still got an inventory
...but Razor definitely needs to store all his goodies somewhere that isnt up a tree or buried in a hole 😃
Yes, u did have to tell him to stop doing that.
So yall (u and Razor) are in Mondstadt a lot these days, and ur routine consists of grinding domains, hunting for food, hanging with cute Lupical puppies, playing giant tic-tac-toe w/ Andrius bc poor guy is pretty bored these days etc.
So you figured you run into ppl eventually, afterall you'd already re-met Lisa :)
(who at first was kind of taken aback to Razor having made a random adult friend in the woods, but after vibe checking her , and her vibe checking you, yall were cool, tho she did start reading these new lore books you didnt recognize called "Immortal They Return: A Series of Prophesies", she avoided ur questions abt it too..)
It was inevitable that after introducing you to Lisa, he'd gotten all excited at seeing two familiar figures hanging around Kathryne one day
THE BANDS GETTING BACK TOGETHER, ITS-
Fischl and Bennett !! :D the cutest adventurers in all of Mondstadt ! (besides Klee)
The two take one look at you and Razor and coming running
..
...
....well mostly Fischl,
Bennett got his boot laces tangled together somehow? And is kinda hopping his way over
Immediately the electro vision royalty launches into their quintessential speech (they/them fischl SUPREMACY)
And as u get introduced,
U watch the pyro boy hop and trip over while trying to untie the laces
And just as he's about to go down, and ur debating reaching out and supporting the poor guy bc geez this looks sm worse in person-
Bennett has finally gotten his shoes untied!
Even he looks shocked 💀
And he like, apruptly stops falling over too?
And walks over with no issue??
Theres even a few out of place cobblestones in his path which he sees and moves to avoid
You dont know who looks more shocked and kinda scared you, him, or Fischl/Oz or Razor
Fischl and Razor have stopped talking bc it was more distracting Bennett didnt fall 😭
..
...yall all just kinda,, stand in a circle of silence (well fly in oz's case)
Staring at Bennett.
(Even Katheryne looks impressed😭)
After a couple of shook seconds, Fischl is nearly yelling about some kind of curse being lifted?? , Razor is like, sniffing Bennett's immediate area for sus scents, Bennett is kicking rocks to see if any of them hit him anymore, and poor Oz is trying to calm them down
(none of the rocks hit Bennett btw, or anything valuable around him)
So after that fiasco, u offer to take them around to the parts of Mondstadt they weren't allowed to go to w/o at least 1 adult :)
Theyre pumped and yall set off!
At first, Bennett hangs back, as Fischl and Razor throw themselves into monster battles yall encounter, as per what seems like a routine u assume bc of his bad luck
Eh, u figure while hes here, u might as well reveal u can make him stronger, u think he definitely needs the HP...
If there were any characters youd be worried about needing more power/HP in Mondstadt that u could level up besides Razor, itd be Bennett, hands down.
Between his adventuring, unnatural bad luck, and no parental supervision..
(even Klee seems better off than him, and shes like 7 💀)
Yeah, needless to say u were worried abt the guy
So he looks adorably fascinated <3, bc turns out they can see some of ur interface!
Mostly it looks like floating magical icons and that weird Teyvat language u saw in game, like that Abyss/ruins language u see all the time?
Bennett showed u his perspective in a sand drawing, hes actually pretty good at art wow
Razor couldnt rlly find the words to describe it before which is why u werent sure what they saw before now
And with that hes called into battle last by the others, mostly to apply pyro 🔥
and he fights at the edges to be further away from ppl u notice so he wont affect their luck..
aw Benny </3 :(
But as he draws his sword and ur getting ready trying to become a cheerleader for both Razor and Fischl but particularly Bennett,
He full on takes out 3 hilichurls at once 💀
...then with the dramatic down swing he does, he accidentally launches a rock right at the bigger hilichurl's foot..
...which trips him out of his axe swing...
...which makes it let go of the axe...
...which goes flying...
....breaks the last bit of the cryo abyss mage's shield bubble...
....
......
........and smacks it on the head too.
..fischl, oz, and razor halfway thru this insanity just like,, lower their weapons and stop to watch
Even the abyss mage is looking at Bennett surprised 😭😭
Congratulations!
Bro, an achievement pops up-
"Lucky Day!!!"
Its little description says, "As Teyvat's God, you give the unluckiest person in Teyvat the luckiest day ever!"
💀
Bennett just sits down on the ground.
(Same Benny because, this is where I lost it all, guys. All of that writing. Gone. Forever. I'm putting this here as both a gravestone for it, and a call out to tumblr. I'm not afraid of this website or its shitty admins, meet me in my dms for a real fight you fucks 🥊🥋🧍‍♂️you took what mattered to me, I'll take what matters to you, you god awful programmers. 🥲😐)
And it just keeps happening like that for the rest of the day you guys are together.
Every chest Benny opens are way higher quality than they should be
Especially for him.
(also u have gotten so comfy from before when u were playing Genshin that u r physically struggling not to call him Benny, so when u do accidentally call him that, u try to apologize politely, but he just talks about finally having a nickname so giddy that u just stick with Benny, what a cutie)
Common chests, Razor/Fischl gets what u expect, you personally maybe get a little extra materials and money,
But Benny?
He opens a common chest and suddenly it's a secret Precious chest
The pyro boy honestly looks a little afraid
You guys have a picnic later on for lunch together, partially bc Razor rlly wanted them to try ur food !! :D
Fischl and Benny were drooling over garlic salt, jesus- Teyvat's been deprived-
The blanket u used was a custom one u got made for Razor for his bday awhile back, all diff shades of purple and some silver wolf puppies and pawprints on it, 10/10 vv cute he loves it :)
(and also showed it off to his friends, Benny in particular looks smitten by it..)
Fischl eventually gets herded by Oz back to Mondstadt bc of their parents wanting them back by dinner,
So u Razor and Benny r left to wander around :]
As u guys explore and get chests and talk,
U all begin to gather ingredients for dinner (not that u dont have an inventory but the boys dont wanna cut into ur supplies, the sweethearts)
... Benny slowly starts to find and accumulate foodstuffs
Those Phileano? mushrooms (the white toasty looking ones that r always on roofs or windmills?)
He finds at eye level on nearly any building u come across.
Crabs?
Benny currently has his shirt turned into a basket trying to contain them, and more are flocking to him lol
Snap dragons? Calla lilies?? Even violetgrass, those purple horsetails, lotus heads, and a few qingqin from Liyue somehow make it into his bag 💀
The real question to ask at this point is, when wasn't Bennett lucky today??
(wow never thought youd hear that one)
So its a few weeks later, and Benny is like spending, every day with yall now lol
Ur getting dinner ready for u guys, and ur hopefully gonna make enough to leave leftovers for Lupical and Andrius,
So Razor has gone off to get some water to boil,
And Benny is climbing this huge tree to reach some eggs
And as he gets farther and farther up the tree away from you, he starts to slip more often 😬
Finally as he reaches the top, u realize after weeks without even a trip from him whenever hes around yall, why he wasnt unlucky-
...the closer he is to you, the luckier he is, and the farther Benny is-
He steps on a dead branch and it snaps :0 !!
Just as he falls, he screams and yells,
"DAD!!"
U push together some thick bushes and vines to catch him luckily
(lord knows u couldnt have caught him no matter how light he is, rip benny)
..Benny is okay, but he does go red in the face, and when u ask if he wants u to get one of his dads from the guild to check him over/make him feel better?
He says quickly "NO THANKS!"
Then Razor comes back like, "You call Lupical dad now?"
Benny: "What? No!"
You: "Do u see me as a, father figure, Bennett?"
Benny: "NO- more like I see u as a BOTHER figure bc ur always BOTHERING ME-"
Lol anyways jk
what a cutie tho,
(Ur Creator vibes made him feel vv at home in a way he hasnt felt before, so u got the honors early <3)
so ur a Dad™️ now (regardless of ur gender btw)
hope u like having a pack of puppies, a wolf spirit god, a wild wolf raised boy, and another wild but adventurer guild raised boy as ur family now 🤷‍♂️
Congratz U R THE FATHER LMAO
You may or may not have also gotten onto Benny for charging straight into battle at other times, bc hes so used to bad luck happening anyway, apparently its canon he will just run in???
(to the point Grand Master VARKAS commented on it??!!)
U were pissed, bonked his head and everything-
He looked sufficiently chastised, but when u originally found out Fischl and Razor were nearby,
And u just hear snickering behind u as u bop him
(U bop them later too for that lol)
Benny is also very good at treating injuries bc of this too apparantly,
So one time when you Razor and him were engaging with a couple hilichurls again on the way to Windrise,
Benny applied pyro, and bc u were standing father away than usual (there was an archer earlier u were dodging)
His bad luck crept in and when Razor went to charge up his wolf spirit electro ult-
...everyone went flying back.
...Including Benny and Razor 💀
You heard a really sick pop!
From Benny's shoulder :(
You quickly start pullin out the healing foods lol shove a fishstick in his mouth screaming IT HEALS like a crazed grandparent lmao
But Benny has already sighed and sat up, popping his arm back into place
🤢🤮
You^
While u do praise his healing??? skills,
U have found out thru him that apparently ur food also gives some pain killer effects
So u scold him and bop him on the head with some dango 🍡
For not waiting on u to help him lol
..
Which btw-
Any healing food u give him, he treats like the bandages many others give him, like Barbara, Katheryne, his guild dads, etc.
And holds onto them, rarely eating them
(Ur stuff preserves until needed bc its magical Creator powers surprise, surprise)
Benny feels like its a tangible piece of your care he can keep with him <3 sobs
"Well, since you're by my side, I guess I'm not that unlucky after all!"
proud of you son :')
Ok so youve been getting Razor and u furnishings right
And youve been asking him what he wants to add to the caves digs ! :]
(U made a more fortified "front door" to the cave entrance, its also not that deep of a cave so there r only like 3 other "rooms" besides the main entrance area)
U improved both of u guys beds (tho razor will crash urs if he has a nightmare)
Along with some new outfits for him!
And so he has requested some stuff, but as time goes on,
Slowly, Razor goes from telling Benny about what new thing u added or telling his friend abt what he wants for the cave/himself,
To asking Benny what he wants bc he stays over so often 😭
(Youve gotten Benny factored into ur finances now lol, u gave him new clothes, new gear, amenities, etc. It also helps him bc he doesnt rlly have a main caretaker, so if he needs money he has to take commissions, which can be dangerous to him alone bc if u dont know, Benny's Adventuring Team only has him as the single member of it, plus thats not good if he is too sick or too injured to work, so a 2nd source of lowkey income is good for him <3 )
U now have a coffee table as the dinner table (razor was used to sitting on the ground to eat so a high table felt weird to him)
And it has a few pillow chair thingys?
For you, Razor, Benny, and a guest aw 💘
Benny also originally wanted to help make smth for u guys as a house warming gift
but bc he would try to work on it away from ur influence, it would break everytime :(
Eventually u just coninvced the poor kid to help u pick out some nice rugs and stuff lol
He also has surprisingly good interior design tastes, huh, who knew?
(cough when benny stays over he usually stays in razors bed, but occasionally theyre both lonely had nightmares and ask to crash with u, i love these kids sm cough)
Recently youve been visiting Benny in town even w/o Razor sometimes (rare as it is lol)
Mostly bc it seems like he needs the attention too <3
U gotta make sure hes eating real food okay
U dont want him to end up like u in ur world where u ate snacks for dinner when u were his age...
And Benny gets super hype about it every time, hes grabbing u by the arm, hauling u around to talk to ppl etc.
(Did i mention ur one of the few or not at all ppl who he can freely hold onto no matter the weather/situation bc his bad luck doesnt happen to you?? Oh no??? Well there u go :)
Most notably, to talk to the other Guild Dads™️
They deadass lowkey postured at you for an hour at you before giving in bc u seemed to be the only good luck charm the kid's ever gotten in his entire life 😭
They also r rlly happy someone is able to bc of his rlly bad luck willing to look out for him when they cant :)
For his birthday, you guys all celebrated by doing a picnic again like when u first met them, and you made him a cake
Benny's face rlly said " :'D !! "
Later on, for presents, you got him a blanket matching Razor's !!
Shades of red, with some good luck symbols thruout to maybe make up for when ur not there, and puppies all over <3
And at the top, you yourself embroidered (attempted, so its kinda sloppy but still readable, its endearing you like to think)
"Benny's Adventure Team"
With your name, Razor, Fischl, and even Oz and Andrius lol, all embroidered (not by u bc u stabbed urself enough times making the title thx) as team members down below 👍
You also show him a copy of the book record Katheryne keeps of adventuring teams, telling him that you snuck into Mondstadt one day w/o him knowing and officially signed you guys together (the others agreed too ofc)
.
..
...
...Benny cried, straight up.
And just like held onto you for bascially the rest of the day ❤️
MY HEART FOR MY BOYS FOREVER
(you also may or may not have signed the corner with "love, dad" haha what)
I just want y'all to know.
I had like this whole thing ready to post.
Then tumblr decided it didn't like any of my writing, and deleted half of this post.
U probably saw the spot i marked where i lost it all :'/
I think it took an hour? Or at least 30 minutes to write.
Guess tumblr didn't like that I was adding so much in one go.
So now it's gone.
Doin smth ballsy bc in order to avoid that, ive just rewritten that lost half, and am just going to post it straight up rather than expecting it to save my draft 🥲
Those beautiful moments between Bennett and us, are gone forever. My memory isn't good enough to rewrite it all. ;-;
If you don't mind, I'll be crying somewhere over those lost Benny moments that I drafted on here and can no longer remember to add.
I guess that's tumblr's cruel way of telling me to go the extra mile and draft my bullshit on a literal Google Doc then come back here and deal with the formatting transition hell.
Thanks tumblr.
Appreciate the writing advice.

I speak here as Codelfippa’s lawyer, i really thought about the way she acts and compare that to the codes for a moment. and i really think she’s just a kid, or at least finally learning to be one
Like, she abuses creative mode so frequent and unabashedly, she doesnt even hide it from anyone they all can tell. other codes dont really just tp spam or spawn random funny blocks, lil codeflippa does. And she could just be fully survival while pretending she doesnt secretly use creative sometimes to stop herself dying, but no. she just pulls out sharpness five shovel and random blocks and do teleportation skydrops like a totally normal kid.
and she’s an easily bored kid, its not even an act she jsut impatient. she runs around from pack to pack of adults to interact with in the tubbo hole, she just spams scaffolding always which just comes out of nowhere. at this point shes taking her own liberties with her Juanaflippa act cause where did that even come from.
the codes are straightforward whenever i see them, even acting as the eggs they are still methodical. they dont bounce as much as codie, they dont have such a very verbose and expressive way of speaking even when pretending to be an egg, and they definitely arent so defensive about their parents when pretending. its either their act is cleaned up better, or codeflippa is going a little off script…
codeflippa at those last moments, she seemed scared when rememebring the man in the photo adn even jsut being in teh fed offices, not jumping around as much anymore jsut simply going back to bed without much mroe. its not an act because why does she need to pretend with qslime alone with no one else. slime already would do anythign to protect her, but codie is honest and says she’s scared of the man in the picture, this and her hugs with her dad, when she says “i love u dad, i really do, dont forget that” theres no reason to play up the act. she means this truly. she genuinyl loves her dad.
she feels safe with the other people around compared to before, but she loves her papa foremost. and she might even be in denial about how much her dad is hurting form the code infection cause she hits people when they comment on it. he will just let it all hurt and ache, so long as his daughter is safe adn sound, he will kill anyone who hurts her…..
and it sucks because qslime is so deep in denial that he loves that codie only AS juanaflippa,
but i believe foudn family still wins.
that family love is still real, even if its all a lie to either of them. that slime isnt really her dad, and codeflippa isnt really his daughter, they still will kill anyone for each other

3 & 13 for dirge, 1 of them or both if you feel like it
3. What do they want done with their body when they die? Do they have a plan?
No real plans...Doesn't really matter to him. Fine with just rotting where he falls and whoever discovers him can deal with it lol! At least these are his thoughts before he gets involved with Mamba.
Before they start living together Dirge is pretty much a recluse who doesn't have any close friends or family, just going around graverobbing and killing time, so theres no motivation for any memorial or anything.
Post-Mamba....still no solid plans honestly lol except since theres someone around so his body wont just be sitting around waiting to be discovered. The extent of his death plan is just offhandedly half-jokingly telling Mamba like. "Just roll my body into a hole in the yard when youre done with it."
That being said Mamba is a few years older than him and a heavier smoker so in the case Mamba died first Dirge might just dig up his grave and climb in with him ...............yayyyy. he's open-minded tho
Tumblr media
13. Do they like to snack? What do they snack?
Dirge cant cook like. At all. So he honestly probably snacks more than he has actual meals. (Much moreso Pre-Mamba, Mamba can at least cook basic meals and not burn spaghetti so Dirge gets him to cook for them). He'll eat almost anything but doesn't have a lot of money so its just whatever chips and cookies and stuff is cheap or on sale. No regard for health. Likes slim jims and spray cheese on crackers. Has a sweet tooth so im sure he's into all the different hostess snacks. Honey buns probably his favourite.

like a week ago or whenever i was poking at morty's 'reliance on rick' and what that could mean and it just hit me how much of his baggage is inherited from his mother... man.... rick and morty actually is more transparent about beth's deal than it is morty's, so looking at her for insight into her son can be lucrative.
one thing we dont ever see is what the smith household was like before rick crashed his ship into their garage. however from what we see of them now, its pretty clear that rick (prime) abandoning them fucked beth (and everyone else by proxy) real bad. she has raging abandonment issues. theyre pretty obvious about that in the wedding episode.
Tumblr media
this people (specifically rick) pleasing behavior is ingrained into beth, summer, and morty. jerry is less emotionally invested in keeping rick around but is bullied into it by everyone else (more on him later). this tendency of beth is often hidden by her abrasive, honestly mean personality. beth is cold. she is distant. in the pickle rick episode it is explicitly made clear that she is this way because she thinks masks her own problems and because rick is the same way:
Tumblr media
if she doesnt let people in, she doesnt risk depending on them, but more importantly she wont feel like their burden and they wont leave her. one of the few times beth comes to rick for advice in a vulnerable way was when she was behaving the most like him (hooking up with space beth behind her familys beth), to which rick actually replied suggesting she consider her familys feelings. beth's child-mind rationalized primes departure was her fault and that idea went unaddressed as she matured. she is scared of not being interesting enough for him to stick around, which when u consider that it was prime who had actually abandoned her, it's likely that theres some truth to it. and the real kicker is she genuinely thinks that this is working, that this is healthy, and that this is "better" than any alternative.
clearly its not tho, as her kids demonstrate. returning to morty, i think he is afraid of becoming his mother, who absolutely 'relies on rick' in the same way the hole means it. morty didnt experience rick's initial abandonment first hand (an aside: analyzing his reactions to ricks shorter periods of absences would be...interesting) but beth accidentally taught him that rick is the best a person to be, to put it frankly. he wanted to measure up to him but knew that he absolutely never could.
i think theres a gendered aspect to it as well, which is where jerry comes in. if rick is the 'best' at being a man, then jerry is the 'worst'. the hole episode has a joke about morty fearing becoming his father, but its still true. sniveling and pathetic, at best the family pities him. once he gets in the way, they get nasty. i think what drives the smiths a little crazy is when jerry gets to the point of, like, fully accepting his patheticness.
ending this with another poor morty he doesnt deserve this but also poor beth. even if shes mean but we love mean women here <3

What about the peaky blinders and the actress’s wife? Maybe they met her at one of her performances in the theater?
So i wasnt sure how to do this at first but it was actually very fun and i loved it!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Tommy
🌿After the Changrettas are gone and there is peace, Tommy tries to take a holiday. But theres nothing can bring him peace, hes bored, golf and fishing are both dull, they give him too much time to think of things hes trying to forget.
🌿He expects the theatre to be just as bad, has predicted he'll last about ten minutes but
🌿When you walk on stage during the third scene you take his breath away
🌿Suddenly hes really concentrating... He might only be concentrating on you but thats still something.
🌿He cant take his eyes off you for a second, youre not just pretty, you're an angelic kind of beautiful.
🌿The play is romeo and juliet, you are juliet and when your final scene comes you bring the heartless Tommy Shelby to tears.
🌿Not that he lets anyone else see them.
🌿Afterwards he finds out your name, does his research, and sends you a letter telling you that youve sparked an interest for him in the performing arts, invites you to teach him all about the theatre
🌿Then he pulls the usual Tommy tricks, wines and dines you, kisses you... Fucks you... But hes not just playing tricks, youve given him light and interest where there was once nothing but an aching hole...
🌿You become his new obsession and he attends every performance, helps you learn your lines, visits you in your dressing room before and after every show.
🌿Sometimes he watches you from the wings and you feel his intense stare on you at all times. It makes you shiver but you love it.
Alfie
🐻 He has always been partial to the opera, he says the sad ones touch his tired old heart.
🐻 He first sees you when you're singing in ..... You capture his heart completely.
🐻 He asks to see you after the show and, because he's Alfie he is taken straight to you
🐻Youre a little surprised when you recognise the man who is standing in your dressing room doorway. You know exactly who he is and for a second you're frightened... Which Alfie picks up on and
🐻 Doesnt immediately put you out of your misery
🐻 Hes a lot more polite, almost gentlemenly towards you and you beging to relax a little
🐻Then he goes on this rant about how "that here performance right, in all long and wellllll lets face it - wasted - years in this frankly disgusting little city...i aint never heard an aria sung so angelic... And see I'm passionate right, passionate about music yeah... So i reckon I'd know..."
🐻 His speech makes you blush deeper the longer it goes on
🐻 "Sorry i ain't got you no flowers Miss, I'll bring double next time alright?"
🐻And he does, he watches every pergormance, sends you flowers to your dressing room, meets you with even more flowers after your performance.
🐻Likes all the costumes a lot, he likes touching the soft silk, feeling how delicate you are...
🐻Eventually actually asks if he can take you out, on a date, you kind of know you should refuse, that getting involved with dangerous gangsters is a bad idea, but something about Alfie, his theatrics and melodrama has really captured your imagination.
🐻Brags about you to everyone, especially Tommy.
🐻 Has you sing to him while youre in the bath together, you wrap your legs around him and wash his hair whilst you give him his own private performances
Arthur
🍂 Is grumbling about attending the theatre with Tommy, doesn't have the attention span, doesnt think hes smart enough to understand these things
🍂"These places Tommy, they aint for the likes of you and me..." "Now now Arthur, we've earnt our right to be here just like everybody else..." but Arthur thinks Tommys just trying to kid on that the family is moving up in the world...
🍂Arthur is still chuntering away to himself when the play begins. Its Shakespeare, one of the comedies and he feels a little out of place when some of the crowd laugh at jokes which have gone over his head
🍂But he begins to relax into it, finds himself enjoying it, laughing just as loud as everyone else.
🍂That might have something to do with the pretty girl playing several roles, who keeps coming on stage in different costumes, behaving like a totally new person each time. Arthurs fascinated by you and afterwards when Tommy and himself are invited back stage to meet the cast, Arthur barely says a word to the lead actors because his mind is set only on you
🍂When he finds you youre in your dressing room and he gives you a fright for which he immediately apologises.
🍂 "m sorry sweetheart didnt mean tk frighten you like... Just wanted to compliment you on your performance"
🍂At that you're completely stunned because you werent playing a lead role and no ones ever come back stage to do that before. Arthur is confused too, he wants to know why you arent out greeting people like the rest of the cast, when you explain that your role is only small and no one usually wants to meet you, he is shocked.
🍂 "Nah thats not right, you were the most important person on that stage..." he genuinely cant get his head around your apparent lack of confidence, you laugh and say hes being very sweet... Which makes him blush.
🍂 Hes fascinated by the whole acting thing, has loads of questions for you, thinks its incredible how you can just become someone else... This is a skill which deep down he craves to master, because of all his demons he wishes he could be someone else, the fact that you can become a whole new person so quickly gives him a naïve hope.
🍂 He thinks youre so fucking clever
🍂He comes to all your performances, doesnt always understand them, says he likes it best when youre in the funny ones, not the sad ones... He doesnt like seeing you sad even if its just pretend.
John
🌼 Similar to Arthur, hes not sure the theatre is really somewhere for the likes of him... Hes expecting it to be boring or too serious. He's only going because Tommy says it would be rude for them to turn down the invite.
🌼Its his Aunt Pol he really pisses off, she tells him of how some of the best actresses come from their very own gypsy blood. This is really what piques his interest and males him feel more comfortable.
🌼 But he is bored, hes bored the whole of the first act and Tommy has to force him back into his seat when he tries to leave.
🌼But you come on in the second half and suddenly he's interested.
🌼 "Fuckin 'ell why didnt they bring her on sooner"
🌼 Hes not been paying attention so he's got no idea who your character is or what shes doing, but he does think youre amazing.
🌼Is it because you're talented or does he just fancy you? You are talented but Johns awe is definitely fuelled by your looks.
🌼 Hes taken in by thr glitter and glamour of the theatre, of how pretty you look shimmering on the stage like a true starlet.
🌼 Tommy and his family dont return to thr theatre for awhile, but John starts going in secret, sitting alone, admiring and slowly falling in love with you
🌼 One day the theatre managers approach him, they know who he is and invite him to tour the theatre. Hes not really interested but when they mention he may get to meet the cast or see them in rehearsal, he changes his mind and agrees.
🌼When he does meet you its "accidental" he accidentally loses his tour guide and gets lost. He bumps into you and actually gets shy. Which is very unlike him. Up close youre more beautiful than ever... When he realises hes said that out loud he goes red.
🌼But you just smile and make a light hearted, maybe flirtatious joke out of it... "So are you Mr Shelby..."
🌼 He isn't found by his tour guide until youre finished with one another, the attraction is imediate and you tske him to your dressing room to fuck.
🌼 Its you who tells him you want, no need to see him again.
🌼After that he comes to you all the time. You have a lot of risky backstage sex.
🌼When youre trying to learn lines you ask for his help and he tries, but he ends up getting bored and distracting you.
Bonnie
🍀The Golds have followed the crows south to Cornwall which is where he meets you
🍀Theres a tradition in cornwall of outdoor theatre performances. Sunset on the jagged cliff edges, the crowd gather and sit on blankets on the rocks, they drink wine and ale and watch a plethora of performances. Dances, plays, musical concerts.
🍀Bonnies seen similar he supposes, when families gather together for celebrations, hes seen plays and music before... But not like this... Never as stunning as these.
🍀He stumbled upon the performance accidentally, he'd been on a walk over the hills, looking out for seals and dolphins in the water down below, when he'd heard the rabble of an audience and their applause.
🍀He hovers at the back of the crowd, climbs up a tree to sit and watch the performance unnoticed by anyone below. Except you.
🍀You look up half way through a line and catch sight of him in the tree, he's so relaxed, just sitting up there with his peaky cap on and the sight seems so absurd that you laugh mid line and have to stifle the giggle.
🍀He shoots you a wink but he doesnt think you see it.
🍀He watches you, the sunset behind you lighting you up like a firey angel, its a blazing, heavenly sight. You look as though you have the light of god shining out of you and its beautiful. Hes in awe.
🍀After when the crowds are dispersing he waits to climb down from his perch. He goes down to the "stage" when everyone is away, he's curious and he wants to look around.
🍀Whilst hes down there he starts imagining how theatrical and amazing one of his fights would look on that stage. If they had a ring down there. He starts practicing his moves, light on his feet, too caught in his daydream to notice you
🍀You take him by surprise, "Should have known you were a dancer," you tease making him jump and blush, he's embarrassed to be caught, especially by you.
🍀"A boxer... midlands welterweight champion actually," he feels silly when he admits it with a proud smile and you giggle.
🍀"Well mister midlands welterweight champion... Right now it looks like youre dancing on my stage..."
🍀He likes how cheeky you are and you flirt back and forth a little while before he asks why you only perform down here on the rocks, why you dont go to London to perform in the fancy theatres there... He tells you you'd be famous if you did, a pretty girl like you with all that talent.
🍀You blush and smile and get a little shy, you had all the confidence in the world 3 seconds ago when the two of you were teasing one another but now he looks so serious, his eyes full of admiration.
🍀"Not as romantic is it, London... Down here you feel like there's the angels watching you too..." it sounds silly when you say it like that but Bonnie thinks its sweet.
🍀He tells you about his boxing, how he's gonna be champion of the world one day and you listen, admiring his drive and passion. You think its amazing he believes in himself that much.
🍀"Well Bonnie Gold, when you're champion of the whole world you'd better make time to come and see me still from time to time" you kiss his cheek and he beams, lights up completely. Promises he will.
🍀Although his family move on eventually, he spends the whole time he's camped near you, with you. He has you teach him everything you know, you teach him how to fake cry and remember lines and he teaches you a little of his boxing skills too.
🍀He wishes he could take you with him when he leaves but he makes sure to return to you whenever he can.
🍀One day when hes in london for a fight he passes a theatre with your name in lights above the door. He uses his peaky credentials to get inside where he bursts in on your rehearsal, he's beaming with pride and is also very happy, now he will always know where to find you.
🍀With him a famous boxer and you a famous actress, youre a star couple, people recognise you when youre about which Bonnie loves. Whenever you wish for peace and quiet though he takes you away with him to travel awhile with his family.
Isaiah
🐀He's never set foot in something as posh as a theatre before and he has no intention of it. The theatres for toffs.
🐀But then he meets you at a bar one night and when he asks what you do and he finds out your an actress, his interest in the arts begins to grow.
🐀He tries to steal a kiss from you that night at the Garrisson but you stop him, teasing him you tell him you'll only kiss him if he comes to see your show.
🐀So reluctantly he drags finn to the theatre with him one night to watch you.
🐀The theatre is so fancy that both boys feel out of place. Their peaky caps mean that no one messes with them though and they even get given the best seats in the house.
🐀When youre on stage youre trying not to be distracted by the thought he might be in the audience. Every night that week youve waited and he hasnt come. Tonights the last night and youre worried he won't show. That you'll never get to kiss your peaky boy.
🐀But when you take to the stage after the final scene you hear his voice - unmistakable Birmingham accent among the cheers of the well to do - and you feel your heart rush. You see hes with a friend, both of them shouting and cheering for. you in the most unconventional of ways.
🐀Its sweet though and when you go to meet Isaiah out in the auditorium to sneak him back stage, you delight in teasing him.
🐀"You know youre supposed to bring an actress flowers after her performance..." you say tsking at him. Youre only messing though, you just wanted to see the cocky boy falter.
🐀And then you almost feel bad because hes sheepishly admitting to you that he didnt know, that hes never been to the theatre before, this was his first time...
🐀That much was obvious to you from the way him and his friend cheered for you.
🐀"Well..." you say before standing on your tiptoes to kiss his cheek, "youd better not make it your last..."
🐀"That depends love, will i get another kiss if i come back tomorrow?"
🐀He actually travels to see you perform again, he has to go up to Manchester to see you, but he does... He can't believe himself for doing it, but thats how he knows you must be something real special for him.
🐀Eventually you settle at one of the theatres in London, a resident actress, your name up in lights. Isaiah begs tommy to let him move and do Peaky Business in London, but he keeps secret his real reason for moving... His very own starlet with her name up in lights.
Michael
☘️ He's been to the theatre many times before and knows exactly how to behave. Back when he was Henry, he used to love going to the theatre but now hes Michael Gray and hes got more important things to do
☘️Still hes a man who likes fine things and the theatre is a luxury hes proud to afford,so he goes regularly, just to show people he can.
☘️Hes had his eye on you for quite some time but hasnt had the balls to talk to you
☘️In then end he does something overly elaborate almost on a level with some of Tommys plans... He hosts the after party for the performance at Tommys mannor.
☘️He is so overly attentive when it comes to managing the party and making sure everything will he perfect.
☘️On the evening of the party youre looking more beautiful than ever and Michael is feeling nervous... Not that he'll admit that to anyone else. You know that as one of the leading ladies its your job to thank him for being such a wonderful host and when you go to him he suddenly regrets not going to you first.
☘️No small part of him is a little bit pleased with himself that you choose to come up to him though, especially when you thank him for being so generous to the theatre company.
☘️He stands there looking like a classic gentlemen, he takes your delicate hand and raises it to his mouth, kissing it lightly. When he holds eye contact and says "its all for you," you die.
☘️You fall for his charms ever so quickly, and michael makes lots of generous donations to the theatre company to impress you. He brings you fancy gifts, glamourous dresses, sparkling jewellery, pearl necklaces...
☘️ Sees it as a status symbol, being with a famous actress and he loves to take you to the most fancy restaurants between shows. After a Sunday Matinee he takes you to dinner, wines and dines you and then takes you dancing in one of his cousins fancier establishments.. He enjoys noticing the paparazzi taking photos of the two of you together.
☘️ Likes to fuck you in your dressing room, fantasises about taking you on the stage, not in front of an audience but with the heat of the stage lights shining on you as he fucks you rough.
☘️When he marries you your wedding makes the front page and he is extremely proud. Youre a power couple, always courting the fame. Youre glamourous and stylish and always seen in the most fashionable establishments.
☘️He will make you learn your lines and has lots of different methods of helping you, some kinkier than others.
☘️Likes to watch your rehearsals and then "punish" you later if you forget a line or missed a que. He wants to help you be completely perfect.

“Home doesn’t exist anymore… because of you!”
Sonic Prime was great and I can’t wait to see what happens next. There are still so many questions that we have unanswered. But listen y’all Sonic is gonna need therapy.
!!!!SPOILERS(sort of)!!!!
And its a lot of reading, like if you are going to read this next part sit down and be ready for bad grammar and to think critically
What Sonic is going through in Prime felt like/reminded me of the metal virus and or lost world. In those stories the basics are: Sonic doesn’t listen, does something impulsive, makes the issue worse, everyone gets on the ‘Sonics fault’ bandwagon sooner or later and yells at him; people expect Sonic to fix everything, forgetting that he is a living being too who needs food, rest, support, to fix the problem. In past games Sonic seemed too happy in the face of the grave situations he was faced with. For the sake of argument, to me this is Sonic putting his ‘hero’ persona on to inspire hope in those around him. And maybe to try and fool himself as well. But in recent stories, and under certain writers, Sonic has matured to show more emotion and vulnerability to better flow with the dark themes his adventures address. Some great examples of this are Unleashed, Frontiers, and of course the metal virus saga. To clarify, I’m speaking in reference to the difference between: Sonic showing genuine emotion of (mostly) any kind [typically when by himself as an internal monologue or when around 1+ of his very close friends] vs. Sonic being exaggeratively bravo, trash talking his opponent(s), overly optimistic, and narcissistic [typically dawned while enemies or someone whom he met recently or doesn’t see often are present or when he his in public/has a lot of eyes on him]. Think Sonic in the Tail’s “am I a burden?” Scene in Frontiers vs. Sonic being allegedly in prison and tortured for 6 months after he gets his behind handed to him yet seeming fine and as confident as before once a complete stranger comes and saves him in Forces. Also to note, if it wasn’t clear, Sonics impulsiveness, impatience, quick-wit, fast learning/adapting nature, creativity, sense of justice, and ‘valuing his friends/family’ mindset is shared and holds strong across the board. They’re skills, traits, and morals that shape the spiky blue speedsters opinions and views; his personality. Those things are just who he is. Woo! That was lengthy but theres more, I bring this all up because in Prime I saw hints of both: the too-happy/‘hero’ persona Sonic who’s sassy, snarky, and a bit of an a-hole and the Sonic who feels the pain, would sacrifice a world/universe (hehe) for his friends, is Tails’ (adoptive and unofficial) big brother. This shows that Prime has a lot of potential and Prime!Sonic has a lot of layers yet to be explored as a person. Which may shed light on what Sonics personal and mental journey might hopefully for me be as the story is told. I just hope either Sonic snaps, breaks down and cries or yells and rants about (not killing anyone or a villain arc, just not yet) or if Sonic is gonna be able to keep it together til the end we see him get his trauma addressed. Either way blue is gonna shed tears and its all I can ask for.

treat it as a prompt to spread your food motifs thoughts, would love to hear some (especially after finale)
ty for askinggg <333
4x10, as told through food:
Caribbean Air Clear was a big win for caroline ed truthers. caroline’s food stuff has always been a stand-in for her failure to parent— she is either resentful of having to, or unable to, nourish them; she gives food in paltry amounts because that’s how she parcels out affection. and the kids find what she does give them inedible. at the Peter Munion Pitch Dinner, she announces that the portions are going to be small, and the only thing that looks like palatable food in her kitchen (the cheese) is reserved for peter— a person she actually chose to put in her life and seems to be happy with.
in contrast to logan, who tested and punished them around food, i read caroline’s inability to nourish them as more unintentional— she just can’t do it because she feels so much bitterness about her family. i also think there’s gender stuff in there— she's not Womanly bc she can’t cook (or, more likely, have someone else cook) properly, she’s like if the wire mother didn’t even give milk. in some ways, she’s sort of girlish rather than womanly (expressing in chiantishire that she wants to like have fun and drink and fuck and gossip rather than settle into being an older woman who’s best days are behind her. and she gets along best with her girliest kid, roman.) it always makes me feel crazyinsane that the one moment In The Light that roman seems to have gotten is laughing with logan about caroline’s inability to feed them (“three muddy trout for six and fill up on mustard”) those kids had no chance to be fed emotionally or physically lol </3 
meal fit for a king! lets talk about it. it is, first of all and foremost, sweet! it’s a time when food is being used playfully and you’re expected to eat rather than expected to abstain. but theres also such a dark side to it imo, as with all affection for the roys. 1. shiv spits in the blender (in a mirror of when she spit in kens notebook in s3) which is meant to be at least a little bit degrading 2. the whole point is kind of degrading (the name sounds like something logan would do — see boar on the floor, dinner for winners and mole in the hole from the script books) make kendall eat something disgusting, not as a test per se, but as a way of humbling him just a little. food is still lowkey a weapon even when it’s sweet and silly. (also theres some kendall jesus motif— roman crowns him but in a way that’s mocking etc) 3. it’s sweet specifically because the foods are a) unwanted— the roy kids have been starved, of affection and literally of food, and they’re making something genuinely nice with scraps and b) not luxurious— it’s not ortolan or kendalls endive salad, it’s bread ends and cocoa powder. 
there was an interesting moment that mirrored my 4x08 food lore thoughts— ken offers roman rum punch when he’s still trying to woo his board vote against shiv, and roman ignores the punch, pours himself a shot, then grabs a beer. kendall is the one who locked him in a cage and made him eat cake, he’s the reason they had to eat roast chicken, roman experiences his brother as always trying to subordinate him by controlling what he consumes (which is obv a corollary to trying to control him in business.)
on the less thematic/more personally self-serving ed headcanon side of things, nothing has contradicted my hc that roman hasn’t eaten solid food since logan died. all he does is lick Peter’s Special Cheese, drink coffee (sleep deprivation won succession, actually), and drink alcohol. we see roman eat cake at connors rehearsal dinner, pre-logan death and during what he thought was a secure time in the sibling alliance, then never again. his habit of snacking on little bits of fruit and desserts has totally disappeared. tho it's not shown, i could see him eating the night of the election when he realized he won at something and was expecting to crush it at the funeral the next day. if hes becoming logan, hes allowed to eat. but the second he flames out at the funeral and realizes he is, in fact, still a dead man walking, he’d go back to not eating. trying to please the dad in his head, or to express his essential deadness/emptiness without his dad. 
ofc, we don't rlly see the other siblings eat, either (i have laser-focused Roman ED vision so something might have slipped past me. does shiv taste the breakfast tom brings her?) notably, no one ate at the Funeral Planning Committee breakfast, they don’t eat at the tailgate im p sure, i don’t think anyone touched the food at the Munion Pitch Dinner. (tbh concerned for shiv’s fetus re: having adequate calories.) i think part of it is grief and part of it is collective family Disorder and part of it is the good old competitive strong dog weak dog stuff.
i made a joke that roman is going to end up like caroline, but i kind of meant it? i can see him having no food in his house, cocktail in hand, snugly burying himself some place out of the way and fucking around with mild self-destruction for the rest of his life. (altho rather than a failhusband i think he’d try to replace logan yet again and end up with a partner who was pretty brutish or domineering) 
ty again!

really like world building and enstars as content as well but it bugs me so much how they treated gravure models theme and ainu people theme so much.
i feel like they should've not do that in the way they did.
like i'm in love with how main story went. and i am in such a deep love with tatsumi's character. double face is not ironically so interesting i'd watch an anime about those too solely.
but those two topics??... i feel like they couldn't do much because it'd make story more adult like but still.
can't process those two.
yeah of course when i talk about the worldbuilding it excludes the lack of tact in some of the representation . im talking about the central part of the worldbuilding that affects more than just one or two characters individually. the shinkai cult and other offscreen lore, like most of the characters growing up together, aira and kohaku and tatsumi and himeru already having history with each other prior to their introduction, how so many of the characters have families and lives beyond whats shown on screen... it feels like you really are experiencing all this through anzus perspective as a classmate and coworker. and the fact that anzu has lore at all and wasnt just isekai'd into it as well as the overall connections to engirls . theres little room for immersion breaking holes in the characters , which takes a lot of effort and thoughtfulness to pull off
as for making the story too adult, theres implied murder , rinnes sense of humor , jins alcoholism, suicide , child neglect , cult manipulation, and double face beating up a man on stage among other things. i dont think theyre too worried about that . expanding on double face is definitely not out of the question , in fact i think its quite likely, and elaborating on tatsumis backstory is almost definite .

the young veins at sxsw
On 19 March 2010, the Young Veins played a set at the Dirty Dog Bar in Austin, Texas, as a part of South By Southwest (SXSW) film and music festival.

Several old friends of Ryan and Jon were also playing at SXSW that year. Jon reconnected with his former 504 Plan bandmate Tom Conrad (more info about it in this post). Travie McCoy and Patrick stump also both played at the Dirty Dog bar on the same night that the Young Veins did. According to this website, the lineup was:
9:00pm - The Young Veins 9:45pm - Travie McCoy and the Lazarus Project 10:15pm - New Politics (a Danish band that was signed to Decaydance) 11:00pm - Patrick Stump 01:00am - Hole
Both Travie and Patrick were newly solo artists in March 2010, as both Gym Class Heroes and Fall Out Boy went on hiatus the year before in 2009. This SXSW show was Patrick's first performance as a solo artist, where he debuted some new songs that would go on to be on his 2011 solo album Soul Punk.

Pete Wentz did not attend the show but posted an explanation on his blog several days later, explaining that he had wanted to see Patrick and the Young Veins but had feared his presence overshadowing his friends' music:
Sucks that I feel like i even have to address this, but i have had so many people hitting me up about that i will. people saying i left austin before patricks show or was there and just didnt go. first off: i was in a completely different part of texas the night before last san padre (sp?) djing a spring break party (spring break wooo!) and then i flew to dallas to meet my family and fly home. i was in austin at south by southwest a week ago and flew home the night after i hosted an event. even if i had been in austin i would not have gone to the crush showcase. why? not because i wouldnt want to see all the bands (young veins and patrick included). but because i think the media would have scrutinized me being there- like i was still trying to steal patricks spotlight, like i was trying to make it about me (theres a reason im not sending this through twitter- this is for the fans). while all the shit going on with fall out boy is hard for me. i completely support the other guys musical endeavors. we were friends before the band and we will be after. i think its ridiculous that the media keep trying to pit us against each other. i got the chance to watch the show on cruddy youtube quality video and it still looked and sounded great to me. im okay being made out to be the villain. maybe i am even the villain. but dont make it seem like i hate one of my best friends.

Hey! First of all let me start by saying that I LOVE your writing (one shots? Im not familiar with fanfic terms lol), everytime I see you answering an ask and is under read more? Fuck yeah! Im eating well tonight!!! (That being said dont feel obligated to answer this like that lol)
I was just thinking about Water 7 (because us Usopp girlies/gender neutral/ are never leaving that arc down) and the fact that after getting beat up Usopp is shown to have bandages all over his body, but later when he heals he doesnt seem to have any scars, and in the sense of the show it makes sense, but 👀 i feel theres lots of angst potential for him to have some scarring from his time against the Franky Family, after all Chopper only treated him at first, the rest of the wounds care was done by Usopp. I feel theres great Usopp angst potential in seeing these scars as shameful because they keep reminding him of his actions in water 7, Franky angst because every time he sees those scars he remembers a beat up Usopp, hell angst for the whole crew remembering their darkest time as a crew
And if we want to make it ZoLuSanUso (because of course were going to!!) angst of their little breakup arc and how they couldnt protect usopp at that moment 😭
Aaah I’m so happy you enjoy my writing! I honestly hadn’t planned on writing anything for this fandom because whenever I enter a new fandom I prefer posting art and even though I enjoy writing a little here and there much like my art/fandom art in general they are just snippets of a larger story lol. Which is something you can get away with drawing but not writing. I wish I could write a full fledged slowburn for the ot4 god that would be the dream but executing something like that well is a lot of work and I’m weak of spirit I’m afraid😩 that being said I did write a little something inspired by my latest ot4 drawing(and isn’t that a beautiful circle being inspired to draw and being inspired to write by your own drawing as you draw lol) I just need to edit it and I’ll post it tomorrow(and yeah they’re called oneshots😊) just seeing your nice message inspired me to work on it some more so that’s why it took me a bit to answer(also it takes me longer to see asks because I have notifications turned off lol)
And ah water 7 best arc and anyone who says otherwise is just weak. The first and only time we saw interpersonal conflict that mattered where everyone was so wrong and also right. Sorta wishing we get the same level intercrew conflict in elbaf but with the way the story is going it’s not likely but I can dream. anyways water 7. God the thought of them already dating during that arc is so angsty even for Me. While lu/sopp and san/uso sides are already heartbreaking on their own (and lu/san! he literally kicked him in the face and told him to watch his mouth😭 honestly I don’t think Sanji would forgiven Luffy or Zoro if Usopp really left the crew there’s no way for things to be normal after all that or even Usopp for going through with it tbh) but ugh just zo/sopp is so much worse. Just having to hear him say that they should leave him if he doesn’t apologize even though Usopp wasn’t the only one at fault no you know what even if he was entirely at fault hearing that would not be okay. To hear someone you love say that would be heartbreaking😭. From then on you even after you patch things up you would be constantly watching yourself trying not to be too much trouble or make any mistakes. I have fallen down a ravenous hole I need to get UP. So yeah I don’t like to think about them dating before w7 because it all becomes a little too terrible and I would just die but I shall indulge you just a bit.
But yeah Luffy waking up sweats in the middle to make sure Usopp’s still there. Zoro would be just be touching Usopp and finding all these scars that never used to be there and get a bad taste in his mouth. I think if Sanji hears any of the other two raise their voice he’ll just have flashbacks and go into protective mode even though they are his boyfriends too and he’s supposed to also love them and he can’t have favorites but there’s no way to erase the past and what happened. So Sanji will just feel that much more terrible and unworthy (he never used to feel deserving before but now it’s just compounded three fold). Water 7 has left a lot of scars.
They may not all be physical but they’re so much worse. They’re going to be forever hunted by past mistakes of how they almost lost him because they were stupid and not there when he needed them most and as a result they’re going to overcompensate and become overprotective which just leads to Usopp feeling even more useless. It’s a vicious cycle until something finally gives and they have another fight where all their stupid insecurities come to light and they mend things. They try to be better moving forward but they’re just humans and there’s no way they can just fix things overnight. But they try and that’s all that matters.
I don’t think Franky will ever forget what happened and what he had to someone that has become so precious to him. And the fact that Usopp forgave him so easily just makes it so much worse. It’s easier to deal with anger because then you can at least apologize and work to earn their forgiveness. But no he does not get that. Instead he has to see the person he hurt look up to him and admire him and love him which just makes all the shitty things he did so much worse. And to have left permanent scarring because of what he has done oh boy. To have a constant reminder of just how terrible you can be. Yeah he won’t ever forget it. And no amount of good he does will ever erase those scars so how could he possibly forgive himself.

for the past week or so ive been rotating a garten of banban au/rewrite thing from watching socpens' vods. dumping everything i got so far idont feel like making it organized
misc banban but good au ideas:
-"banban's kindergarten" is a front for an illegal mining operation. its in this warehouse in the middle of nowhere.
-taking this idea from a post i saw on tumblr its more like a recreational daycare program than a real school
-the player character is a custodian for the daycare part. shes aware that theres something sketchy going on but isnt let in on the specifics. she is a middle aged butch lesbian btw because i saud so. has a wife and a kid
-they mine givaniam from deep underground. its in high demand because of the fact that it defies the known laws of physics. stuff related to infinity/creation of matter out of nothing etc. bullshit material
-when its taken out of the ground it leaves abyss behind it, which cant be moved or disposed of -abyss looks like a dark bottomless pit but it can be escaped. made a diagram for that
Tumblr media
-givaniam mining causes crazy sinkholes. story kicks off with like the main character bringing her wife n kid to work and a sink hole opens up underneath them so you gotta navigate through the banban facility to get to the bottom to find them
-the flynn guy huh. he has a family but post-jellyfish incident the company made him presumed dead and thus not able to see/talk to them ever again. initially got pretty pissed about it to say the least but now just tries to focus on managing the company. he tries to make the mc give up because thats what he did
-yeah hes really fucked up by that. it doesnt help that he technically did it to himself.
-there could be some sort of dune sandworms and spice thing going on with zolphius and the givaniam idk
-i like the idea that zolphius isnt a sentient thing but rather like a bizarre species of coral
-still trying to come up with something for why the monsters look the way they do
-However i do want to believe banban wears the party hats over his horns is like the same as farmers putting soft objects over the horns of cows/goats/sheep so that they cant damage stuff

okay i might be going insane but doesnt this the mask hunter wears where him and luz go to see if belos is in the basement or whatever KINDA look like the golden guard mask
Tumblr media
like it has the general shape of it in terms of eye holes and stuff
Tumblr media
it even has the little colored bit at the top and idk if its just me but when i saw that scene i totally just got reminded to his time of the golden guard not to mention he literally went 'this should be relatively painless, if you do what we (I) say' AND HE SAID THAT AS THE GOLDEN GUARD.
oh yeah they also both have the little line thingy.
but i do think theres something to be made with the mask being an owl (resembling hooty kinda?). i feel like its meant to show him changing and becoming more like the hexsquad than anything and showing us his alignment.
kinda going with the mask on mask off vibes that this show likes. when he takes off the golden guard mask you expect an adult someone more than capable of doing whatever belos wants. you expect someone mature and not saying that hunter isnt mature (as he's matured faster than most) yet when the mask is off you get a fucking kid.
a kid who is CLEARLY abused and or has been through some shit as we see in the first episode with his mask off.
when he takes the owl mask off though you expect a kid. you expect a kid who is just messing around who's (probably) happy. yet when he takes it off he's just crying and mostly because luz called him family which i think is just so goddamn sweet.
but you still kinda get what you expect. you get a kid. i feel like this is supposed to show him idk changing into his true self or smth. idk man im bad at this

scapegoat in the context of a narcissistic abusive family, azula and zuko are the very obvious golden child and scapegoat archetypes, and because of that the way she treats him is resembling her father. bro she smiles when he gets burned as a child. she hunts him down. in the context of their abusive family, she is also a victim of course, but wow you're so much more hateful to him than her. to the point that your liking of her feels disingenuous because you don't seem to see her flaws. (plus also he didn't expect them to just accept him, he offered himself as a prisoner)
Again zuko is never scapegoated. Nobody pushes problems onto him, nobody blames him for things he didnt do, you dont need to build up some complex thing he was just neglected and physically assaulted by his father. Azula has no hand in this abuse. None. You still havent shown me anything that proves she abused him. Smiling when zuko gets hurt isn't abuse, its at most sadism, which isnt abuse.
"She hunts him down" she was ordered to bring him back, what was she gonna do openly disobey her father? After how well she saw that went for zuko? And she stops chasing him altogether after 2x01 and starts going after the Avatar and BSS. She really didnt care about it that muxh.
And i wasnt talking about the initial plea, i mean, zuko is genuinely bewildered they still dont like him after a week or so, and the narrative has to force them to like him wirh trips full of holes, like not letting sokka have a say in the fate of rheir mothers killer because well, he already liked zuko so theres no point to bring him, as well as toph not getting a trip with zuko because again, she already liked him.
