Been thinking about the Goldenheart/Nimona family dynamic, so here are some headcanons pertaining to the sillies as parents

While Nimona is functionally their adopted child in many ways, she also isn't. She's their sidekick, roommate, best friend, mentor, mentee, child, sibling, all rolled into one chaotic shape-shifting gremlin who lives in their house

I do think however that at some point, the family would adopt a child (besides Nimona) that they could actually raise

Based on what's seen in the show I imagine Ballister to be an orphan himself with a childhood very similar to that of Comic Ambrosius, this weird rambunctious little sad orphan kid who wants to prove himself more than anything. I think he would totally want to raise the family he never had and give it to a little orphan kid like him.

Ambrosius I think would want to raise a family as well, he radiates dad energy, but really wouldn't want anyone else to have to deal with the Legacy of Gloreth on their shoulders, so he'd want to adopt rather than try and father any biological children. Plus he sees his beloved husband in all those sweet little babies at the orphanage and by default that makes him love them so much.

We already know Nimona is good with kids. I feel like people don't bring that up because she's pretty alternative and in our society, liking kids is seen as somewhat trad (especially for a person with an even remotely feminine presentation) but it's obvious that she has a soft spot for them. She puts herself in danger just to comfort a little girl who was frightened, she is devastated by children's learned fear and hatred of her. Anyway what I'm saying is she would totally be like "ew, a child, keep it away" then proceed to be the absolute best uncle/aunt/sibling/godparent/mentor/friend imaginable. She would shapeshift into a little kid to play with them, or into animals like when she used to play with Gloreth. If they were adopted as an older child (not a baby) I think they'd glom to her first because she can make herself very physically non-threatening whereas two battle-scarred brick shithouses can't really do much to change how imposing they look besides trying to be as nice as possible.

I can imagine Ambrosius being a stay-at-home dad because while Ballister was actively extremely ambitious about his career, Ambrosius was just kind of shoved into it with no choice, and expected to be perfect. I can imagine him burning out and going like "Nope. Don't want that. Never wanted that, actually. I'm going to stay home and play Legos with my baby and the creature that lives in my house." Not to mention, while both the boys have dad energy, I think Ambrosius is more of an extrovert and would be less likely to get mentally burned out taking care of a little kid all day

One particular situation I like to imagine is them coming home from a date night after leaving Baby with Nimona and opening the door to see she's shapeshifted into one of them to calm the baby down. They are both screaming crying throwing up over how sweet it is before Nimona can try to explain themself away.

i feel like i am in the minority when i say i think byler would adopt a kid lmao

#just one #in like. 2006 or smth #is this just. me. that thinks they would be good parents #like i think it'd definitely be a debacle between them fs because they don't wanna turn out like their dads #but i think it'd be mike who eventually brings it up and they discuss it and eventually go through with it #however i don't think they'd have more than one i think taking care of a baby would be hard work and they'd love the baby a lot but they are #like okay!! we are not doing that again <333 #anyways. is this just me or #stranger things #byler #mike wheeler #will byers #st.txt

Late seasons dean would soooo spank the hell out of early seasons sam. They'd be soo ruthless to each other but dean would have the upper hand and will put bitchy lil early seasons sammy in his place. He would have no patience for sam's brattiness and sam would be so rude to him and so angry at his overbearing dominance. It would be one delicious horrible interaction

#i cant stop thinking about this #like dean would legit just be DONE and spank him and sam would be likd “so youre just like dad (derogatory)” #spn #wincest #they'd fuck so good and nasty tho #early season sammy would be so so well dicked by older dean he'd become addicted to him #dean stronger and more serious and more vicious and none of the sweet boyish comfort he had but instead #so determined and cold and strong and would fuck that ATTITUDE out of him

Ok but how do you think that alicole would react to getting a phone call from the school that says “yeah your kid got in a fight”?

Likeeeee it’s rotting my dumb little alicole brain

first they're worried. there kids wellbeing comes before any anger or strife or worry/thought of consequences. they just want to know they're safe and ok. they're also quite worried cause their kids are mostly bark and/or well behaved (Aegon is a bit of a class clown, but not all that of s fighter unless provoked. Aemond is easier to sway into a fight, but again, he's not one to throw the first fist. Helaena is a sweetheart and rather's her tongue over a fight. Daeron is a sweet boy and the most behaved of the brothers, even if young and rowdy) so they're worried someone has poked fun at either them or their families many oddities.

Both of them are at the school in an instant, rushing to their child, checking them over. Alicent's definitely not keeping her worry checked, to the point her kid is trying to shove her off (gently) and complaining that they're fine. then it's Cole's turn to check them over, he's just as worried, but he's putting on a strong face.

while they do want to just plead their kids innocence and go home, they do want the full story so they sit as calmly as they can, their kiddo cuddled between them (overprotective parents who? not them, no, no not at all). since Alicent and Cole got married (it was a civil union) later in their lives (I don't think they would have gone for it till Aegon was almost out of highschool and daeron was in middle school) Cole would typically have to argue his position as their father before they could even start their meeting with staff/the principal.

they do let their kids take blame where it's due, but they don't let their I'll treatment from others go unchecked either. they'll make sure their kid wasn't at all provoked and that they're ok mentally/emotionally cause kids can be assholes.

they have a "protect your own" and "don't start a fight but finish it" rules in their household so typically their kids can get off with a scolding from them so long as they had reason. typically their parents praise them once they get in the car, Cole advising them on how they could have done better for next time.

a few scenario's:

Aegon picking a fight with someone picking on his younger siblings, willing to let it remain words until someone tried to touch Hel, and he just wasn't fucking having it. he really only scared the other kid, but it got his point across, don't fuck with his siblings. Cole was proud of him, checking over his injuries with one of those proud dad laughs. Alicent was worried, but conceded when he promised he was fine. they didn't leave that office till the other kid apologized for messing with their kids and forcing their big brother to handle it. they did settle and made Aegon apologize for hitting him instead of getting a teacher.

Hel getting overwhelmed because a group of kids weren't leaving her alone when she was having a sensory overload and hitting anyone who tried to touch her including her teacher (her brothers and dad taught her well and her little punches hurt). Criston nearly blows a fuse when they call it 'fight' when it was nothing close, he'll defend his baby girl with his life on this front. Alicent's threatening to report the school board for the lack of accommodation and understanding. they don't even sit down for the meeting, Criston with Hel on his hip, flanking a very pissed off Alicent, making it clear they won't be staying long. they don't.

Criston had to go to Daeron's daycare to listen to a conflict resolution conversation between the staff and two sniffly 4 year olds. they'd been fighting over a toy. he doesn't know what else he's supposed to do, so he struggles through a "sharing is caring" conversation, trying not to laugh, until they're out the door and in the car. he does tell Daeron he needs to be nice, but knows it won't do much considering how little he is.

Aemond's been in a few situations cause of his eye, and every time he's got his parents support. they worry cause they know his self esteem is a bit shot, but also cause he's disadvantaged in a fight, so they do talk it out more with him, just to be safe. they don't want to be too hard on him, but they don't want to feed the habit of fighting being an outlet, so they double down on him continuing fencing (he was a fencing kid in my mind) to help with it all.

there have been more verbal incidents where the kids were picked on because of their messy family. all 4 kids are very protective over how people view Criston. he's their dad and anyone who says any different is wrong. Daeron's gotten into the most fights about this, especially cause little kids are brutally honest and say things about how daeron looks nothing like him, which makes him upset. older kids may know who the Targaryen family is (who they are and their equivalence of being a royal family in my modern AU I don't know, I just know they're important and wealthy that's just sorta there, a place for alicent and come to run from.) and taunt them for their mom leaving a life of wealth and power or having a dad like Viserys. those fights the kids get complete slack on, cause neither Alicent nor Criston can blame them for protecting their family.

#they're more often than not proud of their kids #snd they'd rather fix the problem than punish the result when it comes to their kids #cause this is a family of healing #plus Cristons no bettet than any dad #he gives pats on the shoulder if his kid does good in a fight #all they have to say after a fight is “you shoulda seen the other guy” and he's to proud to be mad #Alicent's tired and won't actively support it but she's proud to #hiding her laughs snd smiles #step dad criston cole #dad who stepped up Criston Cole #alicent hightower #shes a good mum #aegon ii targaryen #aegon targaryen #helaena targaryen #aemond targaryen #daeron targaryen #criston cole #pro criston cole #pro alicent hightower #pro team green #hotd #house of the dragon #hope you liked this <3<3<3 #alicole #platonic alicole

I'm just thinking about Milligan as a guy.

Because, in the books he isn't that physically scary, especially after Kate. He smiles and laughs and is generally pretty friendly.

But Show Milligan? He probably looks pretty intimidating. And both versions can be terrifying if they want to.

But I'm imagining the kids going somewhere with Milligan chaperoning and some well-meaning adult comes up and is like "Are you guys safe??? There's a man following you" and they're all like "Oh yeah, that's just Milligan :D" completely unconcerned.

Meanwhile the stranger is getting varying levels of friendly death stares the longer they stand next to the children asfjkfssjk

#He's so sweet and kind and such a good dad #I think sometimes they'd forget that he's also a very scary agent who's only not killed people because he's trying his best #I LOVE THESE CHARACTERS SO MUCH #the mysterious benedict society #mbs #milligan wetherall

i wish they'd leaned more into Dean's interest in robotics like the kid literally rebuilt H.E.L.P.eR at the end of Venture Libre and it would have been interesting to give him a specialty like Pete and Billy instead of just the broad "super-science" like Rusty, and i get his rejection of science is an important point in his character arc but rejecting the formal education and even rejecting science as a career wouldn't exclude the possibility of robotics as a hobby or side-interest while he pursues his other interests like journalism and being a house husband

#the venture bros #dean venture #i think dean would enjoy robotics competitions #it would be a good outlet for him #and also it would be fun for rusty to be fuming like 'look! you like it! why can't you make it a career?!' #'sorry dad i've got to be home by 4 to start dinner and there's groceries to pick up before then' #god dean would make a great house husband #also pete and billy would be thrilled for dean to get into robotics are you kidding me? #programing and all the actual building that's what they do they'd jump on the fun robotics bandwagon #'rust let the kid have his fun' 'you're only saying that because he let you put a saw on the battlebot' #'those other kids don't stand a chance'

So you got +5 energy and +3 government budget but -3 authority?! what the heck did you do to make them very angry at you??? And what event did you stormed off? I'm scared to learn that.

everyone: king romus SUCKS he's so STUPID and UGLY and a BAD KING and he can't do ANYTHING RIGHT

me who was so happy to tell them i got our rightful half of the aureus gas field:

i don't know man, at this point i'm less of a king and more of a substitute teacher they way they don't recognize my authority 😭 i don't know why they're so angry, ok MAYBE i told sal i wanted a secular state when i should have just lied to him since it didn't affect anything, and MAYBE that contributed to the (-6) from weakening traditions i have, which makes NO SENSE since i didn't do ANYTHING yet. they don't even know i'm gay, dude. they're gonna kill me lmao.

the event was the one where you go pay tribute to the previous monarchs at the mausoleum, where you go with vina to see lena's tomb first and then with your mom to see your father's. and i swear i was doing a good job of keeping it all together, but one thing led to another and then we started fighting (which i thought was a fun option, roleplaying wise. like yeah, you would be a little bit on edge and maybe lash out at your mother, you're still her son). but i thought they were just gonna be like 'ok we'll continue this some other time, let's go do the ceremony now like grown ups', but NOPE, the scene ended and the paper was like 'KING ROMUS STORMS OUT THE CEREMONY IS CANCELLED' and i'm like WELP.

but then again, if you call your father a 'rotting corpse' in front of his wife...

#IT'S KINDA BAD FOR ME (<- 300th time i've said this) #it makes me so mad we're kinda OK with energy and money BUT THEY WON'T LIKE ME #i was hoping once i got the gas field and shit picked up that they'd be like oh ok he's kinda good at this! long live the king! BUT NO #cause they probs wanted the WHOLE field. well WE CAN'T HAVE THAT JESSICA!! #the insulting my dad in front of my mom was a bad play by me i recognize that. but i made him say fuck and that was funny so. #suzerain #juli answers #jules plays suzerain

i think there's probably something to be said about like. how a concerning amount of your own rights and life are locked behind red tape and prerequisite knowing how to do something "official" and how legal situations work and everything. as well as how technology is being integrated into it all. bc fundamentally a lot of people just will not be able to do these things without help and they don't know how to get that help and the members of ur community that are vulnerable to this like i don't know the disabled the elderly people whose first languages aren't english even just quote unquote "the uneducated" or those who struggled to get an education for any reason are all just CONSTANTLY being fucked bc the formula is locked away and those who put it in place just go "well you should have known". like how could you know what you DON'T KNOW. and these aren't a small percentage of people like i'd say it's literally just. laymen. people you know.

#🐾 #like for example my dad got served a small claims amount for like i think 3k #which he can't afford obviously and there's this whole like personal situation aspect to it #but he missed the hearing because they told him they'd call but really they meant they'd send a fucking #google meeting invite to his gmail account (that he doesn't use) which he'd then have to know how to set up #and now after the fact he's trying to submit different forms to reopen the case and he said like #how are they going to hold it against me that i'm not brainy enough to understand the steps to take #and he's RIGHT it's LITERALLY not fair like yeah if i'd known i would've helped him but if it's not fair that he'd have to rely on someone #else. these people should be taking the fucking initiative and doing what they're meant to do and TELLING PEOPLE how to do things #not telling a 64 year old man who doesn't have good english to find and print pdfs and shit #which sounds really simple sure but it's just like. the entire process is ridiculous. AND IRS FRUSTRATING #like there's hundreds of thousands of ppl just being taken advantage of bc they don't know processes to follow it's ridiculous

[fe-fictions]

Can you do Alfred and Kagetsu’s reactions to finding out s/o is pregnant?

(I've been sitting on this one a little while-- the two puppy dog husbands!!!!!)

Alfred: The golden retriever prince is naturally completely on board with the idea of starting a family with you.

It’s an intimidating idea, at first, until he remembers that you’re just another person, like he is at the end of the day.

Titles aside, you were two people who loved each other more than anything. And if you wanted a child with him, then he was going to do everything he could to provide that for you.

So when you finally break the news to him that your months of trying were successful, Alfred could hardly contain a sliver of emotion.

“Alear!! Oh, Alear!!” He wrapped you up in a massive bear hug, nearly knocking you over as he shifted between tears of joy and laughter. “We did it!!!”

“We did!” You giggled, enjoying the sunny glow of your husband’s happiness. “We’re officially going to be parents. In…I think they said I was two months along.” 

“Two months? Already?!” He gasped, “That means we only have to wait seven more instead of nine!! This is such great news, darling! Oh, my gods, we’re…w-we're going to be parents!!”

He then proceeds to pepper you in kisses from head to toe, revelling the bounty of good fortune that befell you both.

Alfred wants to tell everyone right away, but somehow you convince him to take a step back and just take in the moment…privately, between the two of you.

“I’m not ready for everyone to know jsut yet.”

“What ? You don’t want to say anything?? But Alear, you’re the Divine Dragon!! You’re my wife!!!! Everyone will want to know right away! Oh, and then we can have a wonderful celebration, a-and we can gather up the royal families and have everyone attend!”

“That’s what I want to avoid.” You replied, much quieter than your husband who was practically bouncing around with great excitement.

You took his hands, a shy flush creeping onto your cheeks.

“I just…want this to be just for us. At least for a little while longer.”

“Really?” He looked confused, as though the request you made wasn’t something he could comprehend. 

You squeezed his hand, smiling nervously.

“I’m very excited to have a baby with you, Alfred, and I know we’ll tell everyone and they’ll all be happy for us! But…right now, I just want it to be, you know…our thing.”

“Ohh…I see.” Alfred nodded, and beamed at his wife. “You want it to be our little family?”

“It just takes a lot of pressure off. Not the king’s heir, not the Divine Dragon’s child…just Alfred and Alear’s baby.”

“Just a normal papa, and a normal mama, who will soon be blessed with a beautiful baby.” He chimed in, drawing you into his chest and peppering your face with dozens of kisses.

You broke into a laugh, trying and failing to resist his sweet affection.

Alfred would indeed hold to his promise and would not let the announcement slip until you were ready. Whi ch was torture for him, because he wanted everyone to know how ecstatic he was! Thankfully you only made him wait a week or two…though he would claim it was a difficult week.

Mainly because his sister and friends were teasing him for acting so “creepy” when he was even more happy and excited than usual.

The surprise was worth it, though.

-------------------------

Kagetsu: He had already expressed to you how wildly in love with you he was. He thought it was impossible for him to love you more than he did already. 

There could not possibly be more room in his already full heart!

That’s what he thought; then you told him the news.

“Kagetsu…I’m with child.”

The impossible was achieved with those three small words.

“Y-you…you what?”

Kagetsu’s voice was barely more than a squeak. He was choked up with emotion, trying to process the news you just gave him.

You nodded your head, tears starting to build in your eyes as you repeated the news.

“I’m with child, Kage. I’m…I’m three months along, already.”

“You’re-?!” He gasped, his hands quick to grasp your shoulders. His eyes were blown wide, floored with the information you were giving him.

First you were pregnant, but now you were already three months along?!

“I-it explains all the weird behavior, doesn’t it? The sickness I was feeling, the headaches and the tiredness…Framme’s the one who confirmed it, and then we double and triple checked with Pandreo just to be sure.”

“Oh, Alear…oh, my Alear…!!” He could barely piece together a sentence, let alone a thought. 

Kagetsu, who was always so chatty and happy to tell you exactly how he’s feeling was speechless. It was shocking to witness.

It was all the swordsman could do to gather you up in his arms, and hug you to his chest as tight as he possibly could.

You were somehow able to wiggle your arms free, if only to loop them around his neck as he buried his face in your hair.

“Ah…I take it you’re happy about the news, then?” You asked with tentative optimism. Kagetsu gasped softly, and pulled back to look right at you.

The tears that had gathered in your eyes had already overflowed from his. But beyond the tearstained cheeks was a smile so full it made your own heart sing.

“I c-cannot be any happier than I am, right now, in this moment.” He replied with a deep sincerity,filling you with warmth.

That man truly loved you with every facet of his being.

You cupped his cheeks, wiping away the tears that just couldn’t be stopped. He kissed your palms, trailing kisses down your wrist before he found your forehead, your nose and at last, your lips.

“Oh, my wife.” He shuddered, stroking your hair, his heartbeat loud and thundering with joy against your hands. “Alear…Alear, we’re going to be parents!”

“We are. Before we know it, we’ll have a little one to show around the Somniel.”

“I can hardly wait!!” He grinned, “Alear, I didn’t think it possible but…I truly love you more than anything in the world.”

“I love you, too.” You kissed him, tenderly, earning yourself one last beautiful moment of peace and happiness before Kagetsu could contain himself no longer.

He made sure to announce to the whole world that he was, indeed, an expecting father. 

And that his brillaint, flawless, perfect, goddess-like wife who could do no wrong ever and he loved more than any living creature has ever loved something…was pregnant.

It took a while to live down that embarrassment (but he was so cute when he did).

i've just realized i haven't really talked about that with anyone for some reason?? i casually came out to my mom and step dad the other week when i was at their place (it went well) by telling them i was dating someone who's non-binary and transmasc. i've only dated cis men before so they had no clue that i'm queer/bi. then i also told my dad yesterday over the phone. and all three of them one of their very first questions was "did they have surgeries?"

like???????? why is that your first question. why are you asking what's in their pants?? not to mention how confused they were by the non-binary aspect of it all, they barely understand what being trans means. my partner's pronouns are they/them in english and il/lui (he/him) in french, which is a whole other complicated thing dskfjbdfs. they don't speak french a lot, but we do live in a predominantly french speaking area, and french is super gendered. it doesn't have a great translation for they/them (there are new words tho but not a lot of people know them yet), and my parents don't really speak english, so trying to explain all of that was confusing for them dfsklndfs

anyway, they weren't being at all judgemental tho, they were happy for me and the questions they asked me definitely came from a place of curiosity and wanting to understand. some questions were definitely not great (like the surgery questions), they didn't even realize it's not something that should be asked (they know now though). my mom really wanted to understand what non binary means. my dad was just like "whatever makes you happy", but he also already knew i was queer even tho i never came out to him because he hinted at it multiple times and i never denied it lol.

my step dad said "i don't need to understand the whole thing to respect it and be happy for you both" and that's the entire point in my opinion!!!

#lots of confusion but also lots of love and wanting to understand and not be rude or insensitive #my step dad was trying to hard and walking on egg shells asking me questions lol it was kinda cute he really wanted to get it right #anyway yeah it went pretty well and i'm glad #i was never scared of them being homophobic #but i truly wasn't sure what they'd say about me dating a trans person because i knew they didn't really understand it? #never heard them say anything negative about trans people but still #anyway they all said they can't wait to meet them so that's good :') #shut up alie

GIRL......................... suspension of disbelief I know but.

Obviously you can pick out a BUNCH of the dragons as that Is an ongoing trope (dragons aging differently than humans, so they can look younger than they "actually are") (also while I did try to avoid including them to make them more comparable to Nino, I think Flayn can fit in either category for the purposes of The Context -- esp cause her dragon blood is meant to be secret)

Not only do we have Heroes skewing younger (a lot fitting into another trope of What If There Was A Baby Sister) we also have Baby Banner. Where the whole point is they are baby.

LIKE....... maybe I'm speaking way too soon and maybe the whole point IS this will backfire LMFAO, but it IS absurd to be presented with her art (which, def still looks youthful!) and having her say yeah I can pass as a kidnapped child. Which COULD be true! But also what do you mean no one is going to know you're a part of the Heroes. Why is no one fighting her on this. Not even including the dragons there are like a handful of Heroes who fit into her exact vibe. Some even MORE baby than her.

#fire emblem #feh #and that's not even factoring in charas like nyx (who's whole thing is she 'looks younger' than she is) #which. tbh. i personally never saw even in fates. like. that's just a short small woman. they do exist. #and adding to that are the other charas who read as short small women to me like celine (before i knew her in-game age is 17) #and eitri #and also youthful charas who are treated as younger yes but also as full fledged adults in their own right. like lissa #(treatment mostly comes from chrom tbh which is understandable LMFAO) #OH and that's not even looking at all the second gen/child units from awakening/fates/other games that include that #which i think is just genealogy and thracia??? i'm not familiar enough w those titles though #also like. in general. a lot of fe charas who have official ages are teens. nino is 15. i think ike was like 16 in por???? #which like! still a kid! but also! idk even what the difference is. is it just that ones a sweet looking girl #and the other is a boy who was trained to kill for as long as he's been alive (very lovingly by the rare good dad in fe) #i mean. i guess that makes a difference. #OH MAN I COULD HAVE INCLUDED LYSITHEA INSTEAD OF FLAYN. ALSO fits the bill perfectly #VERONICA WAS 13 WHEN WE MET HER AND SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN CONSIDERED TO BE A CATEGORY 10 THREAT #SORRY i'm nitpicking like crazy LMFAOOOO but like. the people of askr should not be fazed by anything anymore. #and you would think whoever is causing problems like bandits or what have you. you'd think they'd adapt. #SANAKI. ALSO. WHO IS WHY WE KNOW VERONICA'S AGE ROUGHLY IN THE FIRST PLACE‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ #okay i swear i'm done now. good by forevwr 👍 #fe nino
