Yandere Twisted Wonderland | Grandparents Misconception

I think we all can agree that the boys in Twisted Wonderland are top tier. And when they get transported into your world their beauty is just so otherworldly some people may not understand it. Especially if your grandparent is certain that this is a girlfriend of yours. You don’t know if it's out of spite or just bad vision but you just hope you can calm your boyfriend before he uses his unique magic on your meemaw.

Ft: Leona Kingscholar, Vil Schoenheit, Idia Shroud, Lilia Vanrouge

Leona Kingscholar

“Oh wow you’re girlfriend sure is muscular! What are you feeding her, protein shakes?”

*Growl*“WHAT!?”

You can talk to him, warn him all you’d like before

He’s still losing his cool and you’re fighting him from turning your grandparent to sand

He’s incredibly mad

What about him looks like a girl!??!

While he doesn't inherently think woman are weak quite the opposite actually

But he also knows for an older person in your world this isn't exactly compliment

He’s underhandedly insulting them the rest of your visit

And if they don’t go missing mysteriously in the next week than he’s scowling whenever you mention them

“Just cause they’re related to you doesn’t mean I’m just going to let them insult me.”

The problem is if they refuse to listen to you explain it makes you have to compensate for them

Kisses, uninterrupted nap times, cuddles, and if he’s angry enough some hanky panky because he’s not letting some ‘bag of bones’ trample all over his pride

“I bet your girlfriend can move these crates just fine.”

“Yeah this~ girlfriend~ can move that. Almost as good as I screw your–”

“Leona!”

Vil Schoenheit

“Wow, your girlfriend is so pretty! I wonder if it's all make up or if it's natural!”

“Hahaha I’m happy you find me so attractive but I’m actually male. I’ll admit not many are as well-versed in the art of makeup but I assure you this is only an enhancement to my beauty.”

He’s not immediately offended

Instead opting to properly advocate for himself

If your grandparent is genuinely unable to see he won’t be mad

But if it's on purpose he’s a lot more spiteful

“If you're so fooled by my basic skin routine, maybe I can recommend something to help with your obvious condition.”

He’s less likely to outright complain about them

Instead silently hating them

Especially if they clean up their act around you

“No no Baba this is Vil my boyfriend…he said you kept calling him a girl.”

“Oh no worries child I understand, just a little mistake earlier. Slip of the tongue.”

“Oh okay then I’m glad.” *Walks away*

“...For someone claiming to be a boyfriend you sure gossip a lot…like a girl.”

😡

While meeting with them as you grow closer Vil just prepares himself

Even as their underhanded insults get more intense and more hard hitting he still won’t do anything

It isn’t until they loudly proclaim how they’d never agree to you tying the knot

That’s where he draws the line

It isn’t hard to slip an untraceable poison in their morning water

Or a simple poison to increase the alcohol in their blood

And you’d be none the wiser when you lean against him as they lower the coffin

Vil’s a good actor though so he won’t laugh just yet not until his performance is up

“I’m so sorry (Y/n) it's a shame they had to go before we could make such an important announcement. If it's any comfort your skin is glowing today, no doubt thanks to my skin care brand.”

Idia Shroud

“I know your girlfriend’s shy and all but can she actually help entertain the guests? This behavior is ridiculous!”

“B-but I’m not a g-gir–”

“I already told you he isn’t a fan of parties anyway.”

“Too bad. If she wants to be with you she’s going to have to! And while you're at it, fix her makeup.”

He knew he should have taken you seriously when you warned him of what your family was like

And while he agreed on the high he got from your immediate praise

He regrets it now

Especially since he keeps getting called your girlfriend

Adding Insult to injury they're demanding extroverts

The only way he’s getting past his dormant position is when he finally matches head to head with your grandmother in a game

“That was your fatal flaw…You’re trying to take down the boss on his own territory!”

“W-what b-but I’ve been playing this game for years, h-how?”

“And for the record I’m their boyfriend!”

He’s more annoyed with the circumstances than the situation of being called your girlfriend

He’s cringing at the thought of showing he’s your boyfriend by normie standards

So he’s doing it through different methods

Funny shirts that point to him being your boyfriend

Flashing your matching accessories from an anime

Putting a gadget on you that pages you with an automated voice

‘Boyfriend would like you to make a plate for him at the buffet’

Lilia Vanrouge

“Your girlfriend is quite cute! How did you meet?”

“At college, we’ve been together ever since!”

He’s not immediately going to refute the claim

It doesn’t really matter to him

Even when their gifted a few dresses or shoes

He thinks its funny

he definitely jokes about it at home with you

“Come on (Y/n)! Aren’t you going to take your girlfriend out?”

“Ugh we really have to clear that up.”

It really won’t bother him until he’s actually trying to do things and your grandparent is still keen on their own opinion

“I’m actually a man so I would appreciate it if you officially referred to me as (Y/n)’s boyfriend on official documents.”

“But (Y/n) doesn’t have a boyfriend. They have a cute little girlfriend.”

“....I’m their boyfriend. I’m also a father.”

“You’re so silly they wouldn’t date someone like that.”

“...”

“....”

"..."

"😊"

“😡”

He’ll be very patient instead leaving it to you to set things straight

And if that doesn’t work he decides he doesn’t care anymore

And that he doesn’t care for your grandparent

So on holiday’s when your making your phone calls and sending invitations to your grandparent

He’s accidentally letting the letter burn

And he won’t suggest it getting lost in the mail until the day before

“That’s unfortunate, we'll just have to remember to do it next time.”

We won’t

ok my funny little two cents on 4.6 as someone who forgets the lore every other day. pulled out of my ass idk im not that kind of person who fact checks everything to see if it's watertight

also let me preface this by saying this is made w the assumption that the pink haired girl in the version preview page is a melusine if she isn't then this completely falls apart LMAO

freminet: believes in the existence of the melusine's merusea village, which is known as a fairytale to the rest of fontaine. finds comfort and purpose in fairytales/fantasy shown through his character stories and thelxie's fantastic adventures ("Perhaps, but if fantasy is just fantasy, and the fantasy world is not real, then how could it still grant us these powers that we can continue to use in the real world?"). wants to protect his "family" (in the hearth? may also extend to others) more than anything else, and this is out of his own personal will, superceding any orders; he used to use orders as an escape from thinking/making decisions, but this is the one thing he won't let go. was taken into the house of the hearth under the previous knave, slowly shut out all his emotions to preserve himself, it's better under arlecchino, but he still goes into the ocean alone to cry

melusines: birthed from elynas's abyssal body, and mamere was even collecting elynas's blood for paints. melusines in general have increased/different ways of perceiving the world. elynas's blood was also being collected by jakob who needs it after his transformation

arlecchino: connected somehow to the crimson moon dynasty of khaenriah, and has the same arm styling as caterpillar, a hilichurl person thing created via a narzissenkreuz ordo experiment. she's also part of the fatui who could be interested in ancient abyss shit idk

so, has freminet found something to protect outside of his family in the hearth? this thing happens to be melusine related, which would explain why it's precious to him, given that they're basically fairytale creatures, and seem to always have an optimistic, kind outlook on life, something that he finds solace in? melusines seem to have out of this world power or connection to the abyss, which could explain why arlecchino wants them for [something] (causing conflict between her and frem)? this might have some relation to her background with khaenri'ah and her caterpillar-like hilichurl arms, since elynas, an abyss creature, has been a focus for the narzissenkreuz ordo in the past? could also explain why she needs to talk to neuvillette, who protects the melusines of fontaine? this is also a rare instance of freminet going against orders, because he has sufficient motivation to (protecting a symbol of his fairytale safe space), and doesn't see father's words as the end all be all, bc of his experience under the previous director and his own wish to protect? while idk arle's motivations but ig she's up to something. idk. maybe everyone is thinking too much and it's actually just a really intense test for lyney to become the next hearth director which idk he might end up failing. i also dont know what's going on with the 'making us drink from tainted water' line neuvillette says but yeah these are my two cents. 4.6 i'm shaking you by the shoulders!!!!

#speculation and discussion welcome i wanna hear what people think (hands mic to the crowd)#pinning this to my forehead and seeing if it's right in 10 days if not (likely) i'll just wear it like a dunce cap. a shame sticker. etc #also if ppl try to say either that arle is 100% good father and loves all her kids unconditionally or smth #or that arle is 100% evil and freminet/lyney/lynette should be protected from big bad wolf father #i will literally eat you #freminet #arlecchino #genshin 4.6 theory #genshin impact #teyvat thoughts #lyney #neuvillette

Analysis of shipping: Found family and pseudo-incest?

Last year I was requested this rebuttal to detractors, but it took a long time to make because it was hard to pinpoint where these arguments came from

But, after one perceptive individual nailed it right on the head, I finally had something to work with

So, let's start with the argument: "These characters can't end up together because they're like family/siblings, so that would be incest"

This isn't unique to one single fandom. Antis had used this reasoning against NaLu and similar pairings in the past, based on the fact Natsu and Lucy belonged to the same guild, a community that treated its members as "family"

Needless to say, they stopped using it after seeing how Mashima made pairings like Gajeel and Levy, or Gray and Juvia, pretty much canon. Making it clear that romantic relationships between members of this particular circle or community were perfectly fine (That doesn't mean cheating is fine though!).

But, this argument still persists in other fandoms. One Piece is not the exception, where the anti-LuNa crowd constantly tries to paint all romantic potential between Luffy and Nami as "incest" because they're "siblings."

Let us address something first, what's incest?

"Sexual intercourse between persons so closely related that they are forbidden by law to marry"

- Merriam-Webster, 2024

"Marriage or sexual intercourse with a relative within the prohibited degree of consanguinity. In other words, incest is sexual contact between close blood relatives"

- LII / Legal Information Institute, 2024

After 1000+ chapters worth of story, nothing implies Luffy and Nami as related by blood. So, where does the argument comes from?

In reality, antis are using a concept people don't often hear about: pseudo-incest

It's not a widely known term, in fact, it's not even in the Oxford English Dictionary (OEA), the Cambridge Dictionary, or Merriam-Webster.

However, we can still find some defintions that helps us to understad what do LuNa detractors mean with this?

"Sexual involvement between family members who are not blood relations (e.g., siblings by adoption, stepparents and stepchildren, in-laws)."

- Wiktionary, 2024

Once, again we hit another wall, since Luffy wasn't adopted by Nami's family, nor Nami was adopted into his. So, why do antis claim they're "like" siblings?

Let's go from the minor statement to the big one. The first argument is that "The have a sibling-like dynamic"

This is one is odd, because it can come from actual unawareness about the nature of relationships, or the malicious use of the common traits seen in all sorts of human connections

After all, all healthy relationships, either being with relatives, companions, or potential romantic partners, are defined by affection, shared values, support, and sometimes a little bit of discord and/or conflict

If we were to use these traits to label the connection between two characters as that of "siblings," we could describe a lot of official pairings (and potent relationships) from a huge lot of stories as "siblings" instead of lovers/spouses.

Let's use a potent relationship as example: Sabo and Koala feel affection for one another, share similar values, support each other, and may have an argument from time to time...

...does that make them "siblings"? What about Ace and Isuka? Does the combination of affection, support, and occasional conflict rule out any possibility of a relationship upgrade?

If we apply this "measurement" to official pairings from other series, we're likely to jump to similarly flawed conclusions about their relationships.

However, even if there are similarites, there are several differences. For bonds outside our family circle. we may see chosen affinity, sometimes a greater attachment and/or emotional codependecy, a strong passion, and even a deeper sense of compromise coming from the willing choice of those involved.

Potent relationships have all of this, even if they're yet to become canon. And due to their emotional chemistry, LuNa seems more like a deep companionship with the potential to evolve rather than a sibling-like bond

However, that was just the minor statement from western fans. We may deduce some say this because they can't picture a romantic relationship without one (or both characters) being a total simp; perhaps they're so used to the "loveable perv" trope, that their idea of romance relies how horny the characters act with one another; or maybe they just too enamored with the cool good-looking buff guy to acknowledge anything deep, but I digress...

Still, we're yet to address the elephant in the room, the bigger argument, which is a combination of two things:

Just like some anti-NaLu fans did ages ago, a lot of anti-LuNa fans take their "sibling" argument from the same place every other permutation of this reasoning came from, a misuse of another concept: Family of choice

Family of choice, Chosen Family or Found Family, all refer to a group of people who willingly stick together to provide each other with the sense of community and belonging, as well as a feeling of affection, joy and security inherent to a functional family, without being related by blood.

It's seen as an alternative to those who faced rejection from their biological family, or society itself, and even to people who lost their relatives to tragedies or disasters.

It's a useful literary device to develop characters due to how flexible it is, given that members of these groups don't need to fill particular roles for their relationships to work, which provides authors with a lot of freedom in terms of writing.

However, some detractors have been abusing the "family" part of the term to argue against pairings that have enough development and history together for a natural relationship upgrade. How?

By limiting each character to a specific role: Father, Mother, Sibling, etc.

This allows them to claim, that characters within "Found Families" cannot become couple because that would be pseudo-incest.

As some people already noticed, this makes no sense; it replaces the versatility of the trope with a far more rigid, static, and limited form of narrative; and goes against what the idea of "Found Family" was supposed to be, which is an alternative to "family," not a carbon copy of the traditional family structure.

So, how does this argument survives logic and reason?

Well, here's the elephant in the room: in the SBS Volume 48, Oda was asked the question: "If the Straw Hats really were an actual family, who would be the dad, and who would be the mom?"

The following was Oda's answer:

Dad: Franky (Thug)

Mom: Robin

First Son: Zoro

Second Son: Sanji (Punk)

Daughter: Nami

Third Son: Usopp

Fourth Son: Luffy

Youngest: Chopper

In the SBS Volume 50, Oda added Brook would be the "Grandfather" "If you Likened the Crew to Family".

Here we have another example of a quote taken out of context, because the question was 'if they really were an actual family', and Oda later framed his answer as "Position in the crew if they were a family."

It was never about the strawhats being "an actual family," it was merely mindless fun with a "what if." To drive that point home, Sanji still gets horny for both Nami and Robin, yet nobody in their right mind would accuse him of lusting after his "sister" and "mother," because they're not actual relatives.

And this leads us to a couple of plot twists: all of this started because of the song "Family" performed by the strawhats seiyuus which, while invoking the "Found Family" trope, includes the following statement:

"We're not relatives… we're not even siblings!" (親戚じゃなくて　兄弟じゃない)

Which pretty much kills the "they're like siblings" argument used by detractors to liken LuNa to pseudo-incest.

The second plot twist comes from the SBS Volume 99, Oda says that if the cew was an actual family Jinbei would be the "father," replacing Franky who would now be given the position of "pervy granny"

This proves two things. First, that such "positions" are neither "fixed" or "absolute," they're malleable and can be changed or altered at any given moment.

Second, that this "Family" thing amounts to a mere joke, it's just a silly little game with no real impact on the story and characters. Although the idea of Frobin Vs. Jinbin(?) sounds amusing, but I digress.

So, what's the conclusion?

Even if the strawhats are an example of "Family of choice," that doesn't make the greatest potential relationship upgrade within the crew problematic, it all depends on how the author handles the situation. And given Oda is a top tier writer, we got nothing to worry if he decides to pull the trigger

And, despite what huge players within the community said before, Oda never claimed the strawhats were "an actual family." So any accusation of pseudo-incest, whether subtle or direct, is just the result of general ignorance, misinformation, and/or personal agendas

BONUS

There are times in manga/anime when one character refers to another as brother/sister/sibling, despite not being related.

One example would be Winry from Fullmetal Alchemist, who claimed Edward is like a "brother" to her. However, given that they're not related, nothing stopped them from falling in love, ending up together, and having children...

If we rely on the same reasoning used by antis, we could conclude this relationship is problematic. However, even if they have some moments when Winry goes ballistic on Ed...

...nobody in their right mind would dare to say their relationship is akin to pseudo-incest.

Oddly enough, we have a case in One Piece, when one character (Kinemon) made a similar brother/sibling claim to Tsuru, using a similar reasoning to that of Winry's...

I'll give you three guesses on how these two ended up, the first two don't count

Maturing is realising that Ayato is the Diaboy who shares the most qualities with Yui. 🤭

// I'm pretty sure that was Rejet's intention, haha. This is primarily due to the fact that they are both 0 blood type blueprints.

In Japan, blood type is a way more important indicator of someone’s personality than zodiac signs and if you search the 0 traits, you’ll see that they fit both Ayato and Yui perfectly: energetic, honest, easygoing, strong-willed, reliable and so on. Even the blood type is called 楽観主義 which means “optimism”.

I believe both of them are really mentally strong characters, which is one of the reasons why I love them. Another similarity is that they are both extremely empathetic and forgiving, to the point of appearing uhm… not so healthy anymore. I understand that those qualities are desirable, but there is a thin line between being compassionate or understanding and still trying to maintain good relations with people who who gave you such a hard time (as mentioned here in Ayato’s case).

I feel like the reason why they are so forgiving and empathetic is actually because they don’t want others to feel alone.

It is well known that as Yui grew older, Seiji became increasingly busy, making her spend a significant amount of time alone. Ayato used to play with his brothers until Cordelia tried to make an heir out of him, forcing him to spend his entire childhood alone in a room studying. Even the butler admitted in LE that he treated Ayato differently (in the negative way) than the others due to Cordelia's orders, but he eventually apologized to him.

You can see that throughout the routes there are a lot of times when Yui says "But if you do that, you will be alone…" or "I don't want to leave -inserts name- alone!". Ayato also seems to be like that, as he tells Laito in his LE route that no matter how much he despises him, he will always be there for him because he doesn't want him to struggle alone any longer. The same could be said about Kino's LE route because Ayato is the first person to recognize Kino as his brother because he realized he was Karl's abandoned son and wanted to make him feel like he belonged to the Sakamaki family too.

What I'm trying to say is that, while Ayato and Yui dislike being alone, they're not the "I need you because I'd be alone without you!" type, but rather "I'll be there for you because I don't want you to be alone anymore!" type. In some ways, they are projecting their fears onto others, but in this case, it is simply because they care too much.

They're also the only characters Laito wanted to see suffer because, in his eyes, they are the ultimate good people. The way Yui continued to be kind to him and resist in HDB only made Laito want to break her even more, and he also admitted hating Ayato for being honest and pure-hearted, and mentioned hoping to see him suffer. He did and said such things because he believes that if Cordelia hadn't defiled him, he would have been the same, and this is what hurts him the most.

Something I like so much about Ayato and Yui is how neither of them is afraid to confront or even disagree with Karlheinz; Yui's "I'll be the one to decide my life and future." (DF) and Ayato's "I don't need your powers, I choose my own destiny." (CL) are two of the most powerful phrases ever spoken in Diabolik Lovers because this demonstrates that they will not allow themselves to be controlled by Karlheinz or by anyone. Both of them may be dumb at times, but being badass can take many forms; it isn't just about fighting an enemy or devising elaborate plans.

Last but not least, they both believe in Santa Claus and that’s the cutest thing ever! I mean, if vampires exist in the DL universe, why wouldn’t Santa Claus exist too? xD

I am aware that both Ayato and Yui can be too silly and childish at times, but keep in mind that they are supposed to represent teenagers, so I believe people should be less judgmental here. ^^”

Anonymous asked: I'm writing a dystopian-adventure-fantasy story with non-identical triplets as some of the pov & main characters. I have two questions: 1 - How do I hint at the familial reveal that will happen later in the story since they were raised apart/unaware of each other?

First, before you worry about hinting, make sure that they each have a very different adoption situation, because if you have three orphans who were adopted by three different families, it will be obvious from the start that they're going to turn out to be related. Maybe one of them doesn't know they were adopted and thinks their adoptive parents are their bio parents. Maybe another believes their parents are still alive but traveling the world. And maybe only the third knows something happened to their bio parents and they were adopted. That way, your reader's mind doesn't instantly go to them being separated siblings.

As far as hinting goes, just setting up these situations where it's plausible they were all born to the same parents and separated at birth (or early on) serves as a hint. Other potential hints: the one who knows they're adopted wonders if they have a sibling out there somewhere and if they'd ever be able to find them. The one who doesn't know they're adopted feels like there's some part of them missing somehow. Maybe the one who thinks their parents are out there somewhere finds a box of keepsakes the adoptive parent is saving for them, and in the box they find three of something... like three snips of baby hair... and they ask why there are three and the adoptive parent genuinely doesn't know, but suspects they were clippings from different times in their infancy. Little things like this work great, just be sure not to overdo it. Just one or two things for each character is more than enough.

2 - How do I still convey the themes of found family and bonds over blood (aka "blood isn't the most important thing and doesn't always mean family") with 3 of the 'found family' in the story actually being biologically related.

The difference between family and found family isn't the actual blood... I mean, it can be in situations where there is emphasis on bloodline or where there's a really strong sense of familial kinship. But most of the time the bond is less about the actual blood and more about the fact that this blood relationship foments the bond, because these people have known each other possibly since birth, have grown up together, have family members and familial experiences in common, may have certain genetic things in common, etc. Whereas with found family, the bond isn't because of blood ties or time spent as a result of blood ties, but rather randomly finding each other and choosing to spend time together, choosing to bond, and forging commonalities and shared experiences by choice.

That said, triplets who are separated at birth and find each other again will have some elements of bond through shared blood, shared lineage, and shared genetics, but for the most part their bond will be facilitated as any other found family, through finding each other randomly, choosing to spend time together, choosing to bond, and forging commonalities and shared experiences by choice.

In other words, this situation will be a great way to explore the theme of family vs found family. As far as how to do that, you might want to have some known siblings (or parent/child) in the group as a way to illustrate actual family vs found family, and then some people in the group who aren't related in any way and are purely found family, as a way of illustrating that. Then, the triplets are in the middle helping to explore aspects of both situations.

Happy writing!

Hi author, since relations with Dorne have always been tense what if they arrange a marriage between Aemond and prince Qoren Martell's youngest daughter, at first Aemond doesn't want it but then when he meets her he's totally obssesed also maybe some smut I feel like this man would have a breeding kink lol

Prince Qoren Martell was someone who didn't want to participate in either side of the war, even though the Blacks and Greens wanted his support. He refused to partake war with dragons, remembering the First Dornish war.

But let's say an arranged marriage was placed before the war started between his youngest daughter with Aemond. The marriage was placed to ease the tension and Aemond of course is the one who's going to marry the daughter. We all know how he's loyal to his duties and family, whilst he disliked the thought of marriage outside of his blood (because it'll weaken his Targaryen blood) he never complained.

After he lost his eye, I feel Aemond deep down would be hesitant at how his future wife would react. Sure he may look rough and scary on the outside, but we all know Aemond has mommy issues and maybe a bad self image due to his missing eye.

But when they actually met, Aemond would be floored at how beautiful and kind the daughter would be. She didn't care about his scar, tried to talk with him even when she seemed anxious and hesitant to talk to him. Aemond at first would act nonchalant, trying to hide his interest on the daughter. It would be a very awkward first meeting I would say.

But after many visits, Aemond would slowly warm up to the idea of marrying her; maybe even to the point of obsession. It would only fuel his obsession if she acted kindly to him, actively trying to blend herself into his life. They are going to be married, for her it's best if she at least try to converse with him to have a good relationship instead of being ignored.

But she'll notice how Aemond would start to lean closer to her when talking, placing his hand on her back when walking, brushing her hair or holding her hands when they're alone. It would make her heart flutter. Too bad she didn't notice how Aemond would glare at anyone for looking at her too long nor whispering threats to men who are interested in her.

Prince Qoren would be satisfied with how respectful Aemond's acting towards his youngest daughter. Yet he couldn't help but feel slightly unnerved when Aemond is always there to accompany his daughter, almost like he's lurking in the shadows.

The wedding was perfect to say the least (Aemond made sure of that), and she was happy. But Aemond has been feeling restless, wanting to spend some alone time with her. She would definitely notice how touchy he was, especially after their kiss that lasted a little longer than it should.

Aemond would devour her at their wedding night. He would be gentle, slowly kissing from her lips to her body as he undressed her from her dress. He would smile as he listened to her every whimper and moans as he slowly licks her pussy, almost teasingly. When she's almost coming, Aemond would stop and ignore her whines as he undressed; stroking his cock as he hungrily gaze at her naked body.

He would gently thrust into her, holding her tightly as he waited for her to be more comfortable. He would start at a slow pace, kissing her neck as she moans. But he'll slowly shifts to a more brutal pace, snapping his hips roughly to hear her shocked moans. He'll smirk when she came, legs shaking as she pleads for him to stop.

But we all know he won't, still keeping his brutal pace and thrust; making her even more overstimulated as she cried loudly that almost everyone could hear her. When he reached his orgasm, he would lay down next to her, catching his breath as he tightly hugs her; bringing her face for a final kiss before sleeping.

Oh, how happy he would be to have you at his side.

Pre itsv platonic yandere PB in ur most recent post hits different... sorry for rambling, but im like obssesed with this idea.

• maybe his object of affection is a friend's kid, who he helped raise. He's the coolest person ever in their eyes! He'd be there whenever he could when they were younger, and he still tries now that they're college age.

• but he slowly becomes more jaded and depressed from the stress of being spiderman, and then him and mj divorce.

•he's depressed, he can barely get out of bed nost days ... and his object of affection, worried about their family friend, starts to visit him nearly daily. It's little things, like helping him clean, or taking him out to get coffee, or just... talking. And Peter clings onto that kindness. This kid (they're college age, but they'll always be a kid to him) saves him in a way.

• its only fair that peter looks out for them all the same-- When he patrols, he follows the kid from a distance and makes sure to lead villians away from their part of town. And for a while, it's enough to just keep them safe as Spiderman, and peter is happy for the first time in so long.

•...and then the kid says they're moving out of state for college, and peter can't bear it. He's started to see this kid as his own, and all he can feel is betrayed. How could this kid leave like everyone else in his life? He wouldn't let that happen. Whether it be hiding their letter of acceptance or straight-up just locking them away in his apartment, he'd be keeping them close by. He's delusional enough that guilt evades him-# his kid loves him, right? They'll adjust eventually.

This is a little ooc but like ^^^ platonic yanderes r my passion + im a sucker for depressed yanderes who become obsessed over people who made their lives light up for the first time in ages.

》 That may be so but your OOC is welcomed. Honestly I love prompts like this cause I can get a different angle from what I typically imagine so this was real nice. So yeah, ramble all you like.

In high school he was your dad's best friend. And he had you at the age of sixteen. Shortly after Peter got bit. To say they were stressed was the biggest understatement in the world. They got through high school intact and went off to college while you were with your mother who was and is a fucking legend.

It took a few years to find out he wasn't actually related to you but he laughed and told you no one would ever want to drink blood so water wasn't bad. He always had a quip, was super strong, and he always seemed to know what to do. Having that thought consistently throughout your life had a big impact. You wanted him to be proud of you, you wanted to be him, and your dad laughed while he encouraged you. You would chase him across the world and further.

Looking back on it you realized he had his moments though. Sometimes he would get iffy and leave for a while only to come back like he didn't leave. When you were thirteen you visited him during one of his iffs. He told you to go home. When you were fourteen you did again. He told you to leave again. When you were sixteen he straight closed the door on your face after you said your piece.

Normally his episodes didn't last long, two weeks, maybe three if it was bad. You went over when it lasted a month. When he opened the door you shoved yourself in and said hi. That only took five years. He didn't force you to leave, he didn't have the energy to, but he told you to million times.

You looked around and then at him. He'd never been the cleanest person but the mess he had was almost impressive. But you weren't going to turn around, this was your moment to finally prove yourself as an adult. So you started picking things up and throwing it away while talking about nothing.

Watching you cleaning his mess and talk was the most horrible thing to see. It proved to him he was in such chaos you felt you needed to pick up after him. This shouldn't be happening, he should have handled it better. That was a bad thought and he knew it; no one would brush off people dying because you were too slow, no one should. But you didn't know that so he let you clean a bit and leave.

Having you shove yourself in the next day with a bag under your arm was also horrible, it was cleaning supplies. You still didn't go away when he said. You went around cleaning, you asked if he remembered when he taught you how to clean to get yourself out of trouble, to use bleach and made sure you didn't accidentally make mustard gas. He wondered if he was in hell, that he was to live a pitiful life with no way to fight it.

The next time he didn't open the door. You threatened to break down it down and he said have at it, and to not cry when you hurt yourself. You didn't cry when you hurt yourself, you came back the next day with a lockpick instead. At that point he accepted the idea he wasn't in hell. Then you saw his dishes weren't piling new ones. He didn't know if he was going insane while you cooked and cleaned or if he actually died while he wasn't looking.

You pushed him into the bathroom to get him to shower, when he couldn't get up you stayed and made him laugh with varying success, washed his clothes. He hated every second of it, hated that he was so useless you felt like you needed to do any of this.

Every new thing you found you stitched. It hurt but it made him better. He let you cook new things in his kitchen and take him out to coffee, all under the guise that he was doing you a favor of course. Before he knew it he let you in without a fight, his house was spotless in a way it never had been and you were visiting daily with a smile, he was smiling.

So he tried to return the favor. He stocked up on thing you wanted and liked, things to mess around with in the kitchen, those weird imported snacks you always got, even domestic things for the rare occasions you stayed over. And Spiderman did the same. Made sure you were unbothered when you were out and about, at the time he didn't realize he was punching harder. If a villain was in town he took the party elsewhere. He got used to this life.

His brain malfunctioned when he heard you applied for colleges out of state. Why would you go to Harvard? That was in Boston. California is just as bad if not worse than New York you know. There's nothing for you in Connecticut so there was no reason to apply for New Haven. He's lost a lot, aunt May is gone, his wife left him, he sees the people he can't save up close, Gwen. Now you were so close to slipping away.

You knew he'd be taken aback so you tried to reassure him by saying you weren't leaving them, him, and you'd come back every chance you got. He wanted to take that answer and leave but so many people have said that to him it was hard to. You brought him to tears and broke them with a hug and a key phrase, "I love you." How was he supposed to just let you leave?

The more he thought about it the more his mind swelled with looming regret. But then he visited you when you were opening your letter. Denied. You were frustrated and groaned it was the second letter you got, both denied. Under the excuse he was visiting to keep updated and the help of Spiderman your letters seemed to stop coming all together. No one knew where they went. He saw it as a job well done. You would get too upset to keep applying. Then you applied by email and explained to the recruiters what was happening. He couldn't stop that. A pile of letters in his closet for nothing.

There was so many things he could but he knew they would only go half way or not work at all. He couldn't just tell you no for so many reasons and threatening the recruiters would work but it would also be out in the open. However there was a way to keep you in Queens for sure and he had the energy to do it. Did it feel morally wrong? Yes, but the ends justify the means.

The next few days while he was getting everything ready he reminisced about your life. He asked if you remember how you would always ask him if he liked you're hair when it was obvious you did it by yourself, with too much gel or unnecessary accessories. Did you know he tried to take care of you by himself while you were just a few months old and you got sick, but you didn't really do anything other than sleep and spit to medicine out as much medicine as possible. You might not have remembered the time you were twelve and got lost so you called him to get you because you forgot your parent's number. And you took the stories. It was proof that he always paid attention to you and that's what you wanted, his approval, his pride.

You couldn't remember what you were doing, how far you got in the college process or if you were getting there but you remember having a drink with Peter. Something was wrong and you asked him to help you because you couldn't keep yourself up. When you woke up you were in his bed. Not very weird, it was a one bedroom apartment, what was was the restraint on your ankle connected to the bedpost. You called out for him and tried to get out of bed only to fall hard on the ground. The light from the hallway offended you and he was next to in a second.

You realized a few things; you were in pajamas, you were very weak and you throat was dry, but the worst thing was Peter not helping you the way he should. And his answers to your questions didn't nothing but tell you this was real. Never in a million lifetimes would you say he would be capable of doing this, or rather going through with it. You asked to leave and he said no.

You wanted to be there. You did anything you could to get in. You always said you'd be there for him so do it now. You love him don't you? You've never lied to him so you meant it. You love him. You don't need to leave ever. If he had to force it to happen he will.

How much would you, based in your head canon, say is nurture as versus nature? I know you don't mean actual "blood relations" with family like Rat Dad and kids, but in general, how much of their relationships with each other is tied to the circumstances of how they were nurtured for as versus how they may be under other circumstances. That is, how much of their family is perception and choice?

Just for example, if Alfred had been raised by Antonio, would his relationship with Maria and Matthew be reversed? As in, would he be the younger sibling to Maria, while Matthew could be a friend but wasn't a sibling?

Oooh, good question. So in my mind, there are at least three major things for nations rather than two. Culture, geography, and privilege.

Privilege is the one that defines their relationship to a 'parent' most. Maria, for example, added so much to the Spanish economy that it collapsed the global economy. She's beautiful and intelligent, and Antonio, with his history as Hispania under Rome, used the word he knew from Lucius and set the precedent. That was a choice on the European part. And it was often a long period of that being unchallenged by those dubbed their offspring because of the respectability that could give.

But the second would be culture. The Anglosphere is a very weird concept. As adults, Zee and Jack have a strange time calling Matt or Alfred 'family,' but they and Matt usually don't outright deny it because they have yet to chuck the limey off the money and still look to Britain in some ways as the mother country. 100 year ago, Matt was extremely culturally British; calling him their elder brother was no problem. Alfred was never a part of their lives in childhood. But now Canada is largely French or Americanized and largely irrelevant in their affairs, and the word 'sibling' doesn't quite sit right, but they've perhaps yet to find a better word. Jack and Zee, however, would have a lot longer to go to break that definition between themselves, being both of British cultural background and geographically close. It's much the same in the Atlantic Archipelago. Rhys and Alasdair are both locked into Arthur with their borders in Britain. And they're locked into Brighid culturally due to their Celtic backgrounds.

So, geography often makes them close regardless of culture. Maria and Alfred will be in close proximity, regardless of their backgrounds. He and Maria shared much the same sense of closeness that he and Matt shared from the get-go, but they're translating nebulous dirt fuck feelings onto much more defined human concepts.

There are also the social mores of the time when these relationships were happening. In Matt's earliest days, there wasn't much English influence at all, and he's mostly a very mixed culture of French-Indigenous. So the cultural aspect of siblings isn't present yet. He's also male presenting. Alfred was trying to use human language to describe a relationship that is only partially human itself. When he was very little, the word others used was 'brother' and at that age it was the most appropriate. But when he was independent, he re-evaluated and wanted to find a word for his intense bond with his northern neighbor. But independent or not, he's taking into account what is acceptable, what is appropriate, and what feels right, and that hasn't changed much despite the revolution. The closest word he could find was the existing one. 'Brother.' Matt has always found it accurate enough to reciprocate, so their relationship remained familial, which was later reinforced by Canada's transformation into a largely Anglo culture and country.

Maria, presenting as female and coming to Alfred's point in life where he's a hormonal, self-righteous teenager, sent absolutely careening from any female attention, and Maria was no exception whatsoever. She was the best read and educated of any New World country then. She was in the throws of the enlightenment before Alfred was in many ways, and he was dumbstruck by her perspectives and knowledge at that age. There's this pull between them, the closeness of the future and their geography, and the best way in both their cultural contexts of the time to view and indulge that feeling was through a romantic and intellectual lens.

All that probably reads like a pretentious way of saying, 'Well, it depends,' but that's the thought process.

#fuck i wrote an essay again sorry #Maria || lo que viví lo estoy muriendo todavía #Alfred || o beautiful for spacious skies #Matthew || my country is winter #meatsack mechanics || the sociology and biology of nations #the ask box || probis pateo

Bugging y'all once again, may the gods forgive me. This is in response to anon talking about people hating polyam folks and I take a while to actually mention the polyamory thing but

People are tiring, mostly when they refuse to have any willingness to reevaluate their views.

My grandparents on both sides were pretty racist for most of their lives. My grandparents on one side still are. One has always been friendly but has talked to me so infrequently that I legitimately couldn't ever remember his name until I was 25. The other I talk to more than most extended family, but was so awful to me growing up that my mother almost cut contact with her for it. I don't think my grandma on that side even started to like me at all until I was like 18.

On the other side of my family, my grandparents were also pretty awful at points. But I didn't know this growing up. They were always amazing to me, to my siblings who weren't blood related to them, and to my mother. None of the children in the family knew they used to be racist.

My mom told me that, even when they were still actively racist at the beginning of when she and my dad got together, they never were unkind to her. Anything that has to say they only said to my dad, their son. And they pretty quickly realized, "Oh, wait, we were wrong on this one" because they adored my mom, adored me from the moment I was born, and even sat my mom down when it was clear my father wasn't good to her and told her she would always be their daughter even if she left him. They would be on her side, because it didn't matter if he was their son if he was hurting her.

There was a willingness to reevaluate their beliefs and be kinder people despite what they were raised to think and what they had thought for a long time. And I got to see it about so many things.

My grandma very casually mentioned to me once when we were watching TV when I was maybe ten or eleven that when she and my grandpa were younger they lived next to a triad. She said two men and a woman who lived next door were all in a relationship and that she wasn't sure how she should feel about it at first but ultimately they were all happy and good to each other and good people who she was happy to have known. And she was fine with polyam folks ever since.

All of us have had a belief we later disagree with, especially some of the beliefs we were raised with or were dominant beliefs in the culture we grew up in. And being able to give those beliefs further thought, especially when you meet people who you used to think poorly of, is so vitally important.

It's also vitally important not to decide someone is an awful irredeemable person because they used to have a harmful belief that they later realized was harmful and changed on, which certain people also have a hard time with. It is a little baffling when someone demands other people to have always and forever held the correct opinions on things or they're garbage and always will be because they have to know they don't fit that standard, right? Literally everyone changes on things.

🔥 incest themed

Sure, so I've already mentioned how I don't think sibling incest should be illegal if both parties are consenting adults. If the age gap is small enough I don't think there are any moral concerns here either. Also, any concerns about potential birth defects or unviable pregnancies also seem to me like what would otherwise be considered completely unacceptable arguments for eugenics in any other scenario, though if that idea still bothers you, you can restrict the rest of this post to only to gay sibling incest if you prefer.

But in the "meta"-sense, I don't think incest factors in as much as it should in moral discussions around disgust. I find that moral disgust is usually framed in terms of either contentious political issues (homosexuality, gender transition) or actual harm (pedophilia), neither of which are particularly useful for looking at the concept in isolation.

However, while many people do fantasize about other people engaging in incestuous relationships with each other, or fantasize about their own hypothetical (or real) step-family members, I expect most people do find the idea of having a sexual relationship with their own close blood-related family members to be repulsive and disgusting! And I don't think there's anything wrong with feeling that way; I don't attach moral weight to thoughts to begin with, and I also believe that it's not evidence of some prudish nature or closed-mindedness that needs to or should be overcome.

But if we're serious about not basing our morality on disgust, this is the perfect opportunity to demonstrate that! There are surely some people who lack this same inborn disgust that overpowers any potential feelings of sexual attraction towards their close family members. There are others who have unwittingly overcome it through shared trauma or other life circumstances. How they came to feel differently than us shouldn't be important. But we shouldn't pass any moral judgment on them just because they lack our disgust reaction!

And I think the only reason why people are hesitant to do this is because incest still is gross to them. Nobody wants to be the weirdo who publicly advocates for incestuous practices that actually disgusts them, because they're afraid people will think that they're actually the kind of weirdo who wants to sleep with their close family members. You may notice that I, an only child, am freely discussing sibling incest while conveniently omitting another potential topic here! And while I could come up with reasons why I actually don't think you can ever meaningfully consent to sex with your parents even as an adult, I would still be much less comfortable discussing that topic when not behind the pseudo-anonymous veil of social media. I certainly can't imagine looking either of my parents in the eye ever again if I wrote something defending parent-child incest with my real-life identity attached to it and they found out about it.

Maybe I'm just a coward, but I think this is a demonstration of what I suspect is the weak point of arguing about "politics of disgust" to begin with: we're quick to condemn others for basing their own moral judgements on a disgust reaction towards homosexuality because it's something that doesn't disgust us. But most of us really are not much better when it comes to what actually disgusts us, such as incest, and so rather than morally condemn these people for basing their morality on disgust, we might be better off figuring out how to convince them not to be disgusted by homosexuality. And maybe the best that incestuous couples could hope for is decriminalization, not necessarily tolerance or acceptance.

How would you say that relationships structure changes in your verse for the future of the world that you’re working in for cherry wine -the normal time of Naruto? Since so many people and clans are gone now because of the wars and just being a ninja in general is dangerous. I figure for civilians they would be less affected and would still be normal sibling sets marrying other sets traditionally. Do people start mostly marring/dating in singles, I’m sure they already exist but as a more general rule, or creating more casual polyamorous style relationships, by having more friendly platonic, partners that are not necessarily blood related like a sibling or cousin but a best friend, that they choose to form a set with, possibly then marrying/dating a another set.

When I was originally trying to pose this question I was only really thinking about marriage but just realized that more modern “dating” as we know it with the system of sets would be a nightmare versus courting.

ohohohoho

long story short : dating as a sibling set is slowly gonna go the way of arranged marriage in general. traditional clans will still push for it and may enforce it or not depending on how well they argued for their clan right when they signed on to be part of the village, but by the time Naruto is born it won't be the law in Konoha and a lot of normal-people cities.

that's because :

1. konoha being a mess of a LOT of different clans and rules had to pick and choose and discard a lot of redundant or contradictory stuff to make a coherent legal code, and since separate clans were losing people by the hundreds due to war and most of them already had a "adopt the survivors into another litter" tradition it wasn't hard to make it into "people can legally adopt in and out of their own litter", even if they probably did have to add a "unless their clan says differently" sub clause due to pressure from the founding members. it's still great for the civilians and the clan-less ninja and contributes to a general loosening of rules even in the more traditional clans.

and the major one: 2. there's no XX, XY business here, every single ABO person in this universe has the same sex chromosomes; the only reason they express different reproductive roles is their hormone balance. it's basically decided in the womb; the first foetus who tips over into reproductiveness one way or another smothers the development of reproductive and secondary sexual characteristics in the other kids, but the building blocks are here, the organs are here, they're just, like, tiny and asleep.

so the SECOND scientists figure out how to fuck with hormonal levels in a safe and consistent way, there will be alphas and omegas who will RUN for the chance to be a beta and not have to shoulder the baby-making and the heats and the specific potentially-oppressive clan rules, and betas who will be overjoyed that they CAN, actually, replace a dead or barren sibling to have the litter's children... or divorce a litter that doesn't get along in two and STILL have a reproductive member each so they're not held hostage by the threat of dying without a family of their own... or just experience something they really really always wanted to be... and there will be siblings who trade off the baby making ability every five years even though they stay a set, or even decide to have several alphas or omegas in a single set or what-have-you.

(i'm sharing this because it's not gonna be in the fic, mind, tobirama won't be the one finding that out, so it's not a spoiler; it's gonna start coming up around minato's generation. orochimaru was working on it probably. XD)

Aaaalright, Aslante Legacy, final game (until the new one comes out) of the serie, thoughts and theories ! Once again, spoilers for the entirety of the two trilogies and the movie. Probably some swearing too, here and there.

-Gotta love how every game starts with the Professor receiving some letter and immediately deciding without further thoughts or plan or questions : OK let's go, screw my job, screw Luke's parents (screw Flora), we're going on a new possibly deadly dangerous adventure !

-... Sycamore is actually Descole, isn't he ? I mean... Look at the hair.

-Excuse me, a million years old ?!

- Luke, meet your new big sister, she can make magic with her brain.

- OK but how are they going to explain this *opens door with incantation* thing.

-Oh wait it's easy : Vocal password. Aslante civilisation wasn't more advanced than us, they were just super overdramatic about it. Mystery solved.

- And Aurora can make a ship crash because she has a super magnet transplanted in her head.

-Kidding. This is a Layton game. Maybe the girl isn't even real and is an induced hallucination given by an old toxic gas freed from the ice and Targent is just a cellphones company harassing us to sell things.

-This or there was a big misunderstanding about a ridiculously ambitious escape game that went really wrong.

-Last option is that Aslantes indeed used to be technologically advanced and Aurora is indeed 1 million years old, but there has to be something else because I need the final dramatic reveal where Layton points.

-random person ; Oh so you're a little family on vacation! What a beautiful couple you make with beautiful children !

Luke : Actually, we're not related.

Layton : I don't have kids.

Emmy : And I'm single.

Aurora : What's a family again ?

-That scene were Grosky almost got killed by a bunch of mafia guys was brutal.

-Corruption, violence, attempted murder, terrorism, intimidation, mafia-like organisation, kidnapping, art theft, spying... And then there's Descole. I just love how you have so many "action-movie" kind of threats, and then you have that one middle-aged theater kid in a carnival suit.

-Well, now I can add human sacrifices.

-Mushroom people

-Egg people

-What's next, cactus people ?

-Oh no, the actual Far West.

-BIG DOGGO

-is that were the "Layton and the very large dog" thing comes from or...?

-Forgot to write things, but basically people poisened themselves with drugs AGAIN but with the help of a kid, a bird and a library they're okay. So now we have a bunch of eggs but I'll make a tour to do all the puzzles I might have missed. Sorry guys, archeology can wait, I've got some puzzles to do.

-Aurora is still politely waiting for me to talk to her in order to move the plot. The answer is still no.

-Since Sycamore is Descole (I dunno, the hair. Only Descole would have that kind of haircut.), I'm starting to wonder if maybe... Emmy works for him ? Because.. I dunno, some PNJ just told Sycamore how he seemed to care a lot about Emmy, and Sycamore never striked me as the kind of person to look (or even be) caring so yeah I just... Am I reading too much into that ? Emmy does know martial arts and kinda came out of nowhere. But also... She's Emmy. Or maybe it's just a way to say "Sycamore may be Descole, who did tried to kill the protagonists on several occasions, but hey, he can be a nice guy too when he's not maniacally laughing out of madness !". Or just a dumb pnj saying nonsense.

-A fake egg huh. Who did it. It HAS to be someone travelling with us. Sycamore could be an obvious suspect but...Targent has the egg and Descole hate them. Hm.

-Yes, bring the kids to the evil mafia's lair surrounded by people with guns. Then don't let Flora take the train for her safety.

-Ah well one dude got shoot off screen apparently. Probably bleeding as hell. Wonderful sight for Luke's nightmares, a guy covered in blood, barely managing to escape from the people still running after him to end his life. Let's follow him.

-Yes quit your mafia job, take some vaccations, get married or whatever, wish you luck guys. We really hope that you're genuine otherwise that guy we left behind will be very dead huh.

-Sycamore looks way too familiar with Targent's methods. So that what happened to your wife and daughter, huh ? But Kornev seems disinterested in him now, despite his Aslante knowledge. Is the "Legacy" just a method to bring people to life ? That would explain why Descole is so eager to find it. Also can't wait to see Layton's reaction to the reveal of him being Descole. I mean, yes it's just a theory but.... Common it's just so obvious.

-I'm sorry but this girl attempted suicide, we should listen to her and IMMEDIATELY stop this whole thing like she said. I don't know what the azran legacy do but it seems like it's a bad idea to find out, after all.

-Eh, told ya. He had to reveal himself with his signature laugh, didn't he. Also... Yes ! Swordfight! (I feel like Layton will never respect him enough to fight him with an actual sword. This feels like a "You're the loser yet I'm the one with a broken pipe, you pathetic fake swordsman." vibe.

-Can we talk about how heartbroken Aurora must be right now ?

Aurora : You're my friend ? You mean it ?

Desmound: Of course !

Also Desmound : I'm stealing this from y'a, I used you all as a bunch of tools mouwhaha bye !

Aurora : =(

-PROFESSOR YOU CAN'T BRING FOUR PEOPLE TO FLY ON ONE SINGLE DEAD DINOSAUR was what I thought during the cutscene. Until I saw it was just Layton to catch up Descole. It's just... Layton has a HISTORY with hand-made flying devices.

-Also Kornev didn't seem to care that much about losing so they'll just follow them on the finale temple with a bunch of guns I guess. I got spoiled that Luke is going to die and I'm starting to worry a little. Hence why I think they're going to unlock the power of bringing people back to life. But I also guess such power comes with disastrous consequences. Though by the look of Aurora behaviour, it seems like the whole world is doomed.

-Oh hey Descole. Need a hand opening that door ?

-And here they are with the guns.

-Hehe, gun proof ceiling.

-EMMY. YOU. HOW COULD YOU. LUKE HE TRUSTED YOU. THE FUCK. EMMY WHY. AND FOR THIS BASTARD ?! YOU KNOW HE'S A BASTARD RIGHT ? YOU THREATENED LUKE. YOUR LITTLE PAL. WITH A FREAKIN STALACTITE TO HIS NECK. THAT'S A KILLING MOVE EMMY. WOULD YOU HAVE THE GUTS FOR IT. WOULD YOU.

-OK I'm fine, it's ok, alright, good, let's keep going. It's not like I wasn't used to betrayals in video games. But still. What the heck.

-Heeeey, Descole, pal. Guess we're a team now, if you're not in the mood of trying to kill me today ! And you know I would destroy the entire world and then myself if anything had to happen to Luke, riiiight?

-The guy asked for a team up himself, I don't even get to laugh at him.

-Oh thank stars Luke is okay. But for how long.

-I'm sorry Emmy, but you still lied and spied on us. Also threatened Luke. It sucks because you're awesome but still a traitor. I suppose that explains why she won't be around for the next games.

-Luke and Descole being salty at eachother is SO fun to watch.

-what the heck.

-Descole took a bullet for Luke. First of all : Can you PLEASE stop giving this kid near-death experiences, I heard he's supposed to die at some point and it makes these situations even more intense. Even if I know he'll come back thanks to the other games but still. Also... What the actual heck ?

-.... Brothers ?!

-.... Father ?!!

-Wat

-Well, that was... a lot. Guess I'll let you die there, I have to save the world so uh, not the greatest time for a family reunion.

-Everything has gotten 1000 times more awkward between these two. I mean imagine if Descole make it alive:

Des : uh...Little brother.

Layton: Let's not.

Des : Yeah, sounded wrong when I said it too.

-You....You're telling me that all the grunts died on the way here ? Well good thing we haven't met with any of the corpses I guess.

- See Emmy ? This guy would rather see you die on a puzzle than try it himself. I hate him so much. Now I get why Emmy seemed so taken aback after her first meeting with the Professor. That's why she was surprised to be shown some consideration, after years spent with this guy.

-He just... ran the sword through her heart with NO second thought.

-Wait, EVERYONE dies ?!

-And in a very painful and disturbing way ?!!

-They were on the ground. They were dead dead.

-End of the world : Successfully avoided! At the price of ☆trauma☆

-Luke watching his adopted sister disintegrate. Ouch.

-Descole being like : SEE YA ASSHOLES. If he stayed he was sooooo going to jail.

-Fffffffriend ? With him ? Hershel.... I get that it's your biological father, but he also proved himself to be some crazy heartless jerk. On the behalf of "good intentions", but the end doesn't justify the ways. Loved how he made it clear that his parents are his ACTUAL parents and nothing, not even a biological father will ever changr that though. And that HE IS Hershel Layton.

- So let me get this straight. Layton lost his family at 6 because of the mafia of science(was this close to my random "seven curse" theory.). Then lost his best friend at 17 and grieved him for 18 years while blaming himself before he got back from the dead. Then lost his fiancee at 27 and almost got killed by trying to discover the circumstances of her death. Then lost a kid he had to take care of when he was 35 right after being revived by said kid. And witnessed the death of his fiancee AGAIN at 37. And all this with no therapy. I think I get why he has such a harsh time expressing his emotions.

-At least Emmy got to live a REAL independent life. I think she couldn't stay after all that since the trust has been broken, but she still get to have the opportunity to grow on her own to choose who SHE wants to be, not some fake uncle. Wonder if we'll have some news from her in the next game, since now they can acknowledge both of the trilogies.

-Luke and Layton after getting home:

Layton : Not a word to your parents about the whole... dying and stuff ?

Luke : Nope. Definitely not.

-I wonder if one of the reasons Hershel is more protective of Flora is because he's projecting Aurora on her. I mean it's hinted that she got reincarnated, but to him she's still very dead.

-I hope we'll have at least some cameos or references to all those characters in the new game. And a hint that they all went to therapy because heck do they need it. Do something of these coins, professor.

-Wait a second, something's wrong.

LAYTON HASN'T DONE THE DRAMATIC FINGER REVEAL THING

- Probably because he was as confused by everything for this one.

-Besides it's hard to be more overdramatic than Descole. Desmound? Descole?

-Des.

-Wait wait wait... It's implied that Desmound's wife and daughter got killed by Targent, right ? Did it happened under the command of his joke of a father? Did that happened or did I forgot something ?! Like what.

- Hershel please don't call this shithead a friend. He's not. Why am I more angry at Bronev than you are.

-Silly idea of Layton and Descole attempting a talk like normal brothers :

Des : So remember that time we died ?

Layton: Oh yes. Yes. And, uh, saved the world.

Des : And that one kid really died.

Layton : I can still kill you in a swordfight you know, that's gentleman's approved.

Des : *sips tea*

And this was the final one. I would have done Mysterious Village and Pandora's Box too but I already played those before I began to write my thoughts while playing so there would be no point now that I know the plots. Anyway, I absolutely loved these games and can't wait to play the new one on Switch, after going through both trilogies, I'm ready for the new wave of angst !

#i'm going to regret this last statement won't I #lot of swearing for this one sorry but blame the plot #and Bronev #professor Layton #professor layton and the azran legacy #azran legacy spoilers #theories #thoughts #long text #video games

I gotta say, I really love the 'brides' of Dracula. And I think it's because we know so little about them?

They're never given names and while they do seem to have individual personalities and wills, they're always referred to as a collective unit. Pop culture has apparently decided these are all women Drac has hanging around his castle are his brides, though they're never called that in the original novel. They're usually nameless (at least in filmed media) and their most notable feature is 'sexy'. So in a lot of ways, they're sort of blank slate characters who exist to torment Jonathan and clue him in on what exactly Dracula wants to do to him, to foreshadow [SPOILERS], and to just generally be a hot nuisance.

I genuinely want to know more about them. They're called 'sisters' by that may not be literally true. Two of them look VERY similar to Dracula, meaning they could be his daughters, or his wife and daughter, or his actual sisters, or generally some sort of blood relation to him. Though it's been long enough where that part doesn't matter anymore. The one who doesn't look like him seems to be their spokesperson and leader (she's got first dibs on Jonathan's blood among the three of them), the one who arguee with Dracula, so could she be his wife or former wife? They're subservient to him, I think, but they don't fear him. He gets them food but they're also capable of hunting for themselves. He claims to love them but they say he doesn't and never has, and if he loves them, why did he leave them behind? Do they resent him for that, or for their current undead existence? How did he feel about their deaths? Did he even know about them?

Was the situation of their turning similar to [SPOILER]? How willing were they, how long did it take? Has he turned other people, other women, and are they the only three sticking around with him? They don't even have names! Is the blonde one Countess Dracula? They still dress like highborn women, so does that mean they're Dracula's family or that he wanted a certain class of women around him?

Pop culture just cutting them down to being hot and dangerous (which is technically true) seems to just do the concept of them injustice. There just seems to be more to explore there with the idea of the brides than just that. And obviously I'm no expert on every adaptation or retelling of Dracula, so I could be simplifying the whole idea of them in pop culture too. But it just seems like theirs is an interesting origin story, likely tied to the origins of Dracula himself, that I'd like to see explored more. I'm sure they have in other books (which I'd be interested in reading). I just like to know other people's thoughts on them.

I just had a weird thought about your Gilded Family AU.

So, when everything is over -Belos is dead, The Collector returns to the stars, everyone begins to rebuild their lives- at least some of the Grims' are probably going to want to settle down. Get their own places, find partners, have a couple of kids, etc and so forth.

The Boiling Isles will never be the same... on a genetic level. Hear me out here. All 27 Grimwalkers are genetically identical to Caleb. So genetics-wise, there are 28 Caleb's - Not 1 Caleb and 27 of his sons, not 1 Caleb and 27 younger brothers (Both examples are still closely related, but at least there would be some genetic differences between Caleb, his Grims and the Grims to each other), but Caleb and 27 identical twins of his.

So, 28 Caleb's. Well, actually, we can probably count Caleb himself out. In between Achsah successfully having had a family in the past (Of which at least one branch of the family tree has survived into the present day), viewing the Grims as his sons and him plus Evelyn having effectively adopted four displaced children... I highly doubt he wants anymore kids, lol.

So, 27 Caleb's then. Now granted, it's unlikely that all of the Grims will want partners, let alone children. But some of them will, that's just statistics for ya! Which means that the next generation of witchlings is going to have... A fair number of half siblings amongst it's ranks. They'll all have the same "father" on a genetic level because well, all of their Dad's are genetically the same person.

How will this impact witchkind? Well... Caleb will be VERY well genetically represented in the future. Like, too genetically represented. The Gilded Family are probably going to have to stage family reunions every few years just to remind themselves how many people are related to them now. Lol.

At least the percentage of blondes in the Isles should go way up after a few generations?

CALEB HAS NOW BECOME AN INVASIVE SPECIES

Okay, feel free to correct my DNA/biology facts because it's been a while, but since there are differences in appearances among Grimwalkers (and features that distinguish them from Caleb as well, like the magenta eyes), and there are resources from other species making them up that may not have all been taken from the same creature for every grimwalker, I'm going to say that they're not EXACT copies of Caleb, so they're not exact genetic matches to each other, you know? It really is more like being siblings than being "the same guy." So they'd be cousins, not half brothers.

That being said, the idea of a couple of generations down a pretty big chunk of the BI population having magenta eyes or otherwise being able to claim grimwalker ancestry is pretty funny. Some people are just now impervious to boiling rain. Magicless witches are more common because of all the human blood running around. And there are way too many blondes.

#wait real talk ARE there any other blondes on the isles? because now that I'm trying to think of one #i can't remember any more blondes. or even demons that have some sort of yellow pseudohair. help.#toh #asks #gilded family au #miscellaneous

Some of the reasons why I enjoy the theory that Cersei and Jaime are Aerys' bastards

Just to get this out of the way, I will not be upset if this isn't the case, the series hardly needs more rape (though whether it was rape or Joanna has gotten the Lyanna treatment after her death, I suppose is possible).

The irony of Tywin's only blood child being Tyrion, the one he specifically sees as less than his child/doesn't want to be his child

And Tywin's lawful heir would also be Tyrion, the one he didn't want to inherit

The irony of Cersei and Jaime's relationship having been more or less acceptable if anyone knew the truth (if it came out after one of them died it would be particularly chef's kiss) and that they maybe have actually been able to legally marry

Aerys refusing to consider Cersei as a wife for Rhaegar while "settling" on Elia as the woman with the (seemingly) most Targaryen blood

Also Aerys being desperate for more children and especially a daughter and meanwhile having two he was unaware of

Cersei having had her Targaryen "prince" all along

Joffrey and Tommen would have claims to the throne through their Targaryen blood, because while their parents are bastards, they'd be more Targaryen than the Baratheons

Cersei would also have a claim, if they go the GoT route and just have her outright take the throne as Queen Regnant at some point

Robert despising the Targaryens and wanting to destroy them while being married to and cuckolded by a secret Targ, and safely raising Aerys' grandchildren with Aerys' daughter as Queen

The implication that kinslaying really is a curse and the lives of kinslayers start to fall apart some more slowly than others for Robert (killing Rhaegar), Jaime (killing Aerys), and Cersei (killing Robert) and possibly Aegon or Daenerys (killing Cersei)

Also that Jaime is a Kingslayer and a kinslayer (and may possibly get the full set becoming a Queenslayer and a kinslayer again?)

That Jaime and Cersei also technically would still have some claim to Casterly Rock since their mother was Tywin's first cousin, but the one who could get it still doesn't want it and the one that wants it would never get it through all the men before her

The possibility that Jaime ends up in the North in some manner and working with Jon Snow, assuming RLJ, meaning Jon could have had two mentors who were uncles and that he didn't know that relation at the time

That Daenerys yearns for family while wishing to see two of the last members dead

Also Aerys having incredibly politically irresponsible lust he actually acted on that led to bastards so the fandom could maybe stop pretending like Rhaegar did something completely unheard of and never found in Westeros by having a bastard with Lyanna

The parallels between Cersei and Daenerys with added perspective that they're sisters

The parallels between Jon and Jaime with them both unaware they're Targaryen bastards and uncle and nephew

The increased parallel of Aerys making Jaime a Kingsguard and Ned having Jon take the Black, with both unaware they're also giving up potential claims to the throne

Jaime's guilt over being unable to protect even more nieces/nephews

Tyrion being the non-Targaryen sibling and being the one who was obsessed with dragons
