#you’re never mad at him for it

[cipher-the-sidhe]

Hi! I just went through your entire WtTK AU and I have a (potentially sad) question :D

Has baby Eclipse ever accidentally hurt Y/N? Cause I noticed he's got some pretty big claws, and kids (especially young ones!) don't tend to have very good control of their strength and coordination when they're little

*grabbing you and shaking you*

Thank you for liking my au and for engaging! I love these fish a normal amount!!!!! As for your question~

———————🐠🐟🐠🐋🐳🦭🦈🪼🦐🐙

The first time it happens, Eclipse is too young to realize what he’s done. Tiny baby teeth are still sharp enough to pierce and tear, and when he mindlessly mouths at you a little too hard Moon is the first to notice the blood at your shoulder where your baby nestles his face. Sun is a mess of anxiety over the realization that your little guppy has teeth and claws sharp enough to hurt his mama now, and no will yet to prevent it. The bites don’t leave a visible scar, but the boys never forget.

It happens again, of course. Many times. Little nicks of careless baby claws and eager baby teeth. Nothing serious, and your mers are diligent in teaching Eclipse to be careful with his mama and her delicate body. Sun maybe goes to far with it really, and for a while your little boy handles you like you’re made of glass. Eventually you ease the anxiety he develops over hurting you into a more reasonable level of caution, but he’s always very careful.

But even the most careful, cautious people slip sometimes, and Eclipse is just a boy after all…

He hadn’t meant to. He swore up and down around hiccuping sobs over and over again how he hadn’t meant to and how he’s so so sorry. You coo and shush him, one hand pressed down firmly to stem the bleeding from your calf, and the other holding onto his hand (so much bigger than yours already, and covered in your blood) even as he tries to pull away.

“Clip, sweetie, look at me. I’m ok. It’s going to be ok. It was an accident. I’m not mad. It’s ok.” You talk to him as gently as you can, holding him as close as he‘ll let you. For a moment you resent how big he’s gotten so fast. Eleven years old and he’s already taller than you.

Moon doesn’t take it well, of course. Sun takes it worse. They get your injuries cleaned and stitched up, and they end up healing into four pale pink scars just a few inches above the first scratches Moon gave you on your ankle years and years ago. Eclipse doesn’t speak almost at all for weeks. He stays with Moon most of the time, and his nocturnal father uses the time to share whatever wisdom he earned from his own time as a sharp and dangerous creature on how to be gentle. Your son keeps his hands entirely to himself for that time, accepting hugs but not returning them. Your heart hurts far worse than your leg. Sun stays by your side while the other two are away, and his son won’t meet his eyes for days either.

Things get better. They heal, they scar, the marks fade and leave behind lessons for all four of you. Eclipse grows into a frighteningly deliberate predator, and those claws and teeth never do any harm that they don’t fully mean to do by the time he’s mature. Certainly after that, though he causes his fair share of carnage, he never hurts you.

#what the tide keeps #WtTK au #mer!eclipse #mer!sun #mer!moon #half mer!eclipse #ooo yeah there are lots of mishaps #moon is more understanding since he also has a history of bloodshed #sun tries to be patient and understanding but reacts badly #you are a mother though and that is your baby #you’re never mad at him for it #and he would never ever ever hurt you on purpose #other people or things? oh yeah fair game #but you? #never #answered asks #cipher answers #my fic

I figured it out

Tom Holland's Peter Parker (No hate to Mr Holland though) has NO SASS

That's the issue, he's not a smartass or a smart idiot. He is just,,,, adorkable

oh man. disney kind of has a real compulsive problem with making everything adorkable . thats kind of their thing. like every Disney princess to get a movie in the past decade . do they have a unique personality to their own? absolutely not at all. are they adorkable? oh you bet. they are SO inoffensive and they’re gonna sell SO many toys. just like spider-man. they disney-princess-ified him. they did the disney princess thing to him. I think you could swap him with anna, or rapunzel, or moana and you probably wouldn’t even notice the difference, narratively, because they would all act the same and do the same thing. and be adorkable while doing it.

#sci speaks #that’s kind of the problem with having a passive protag who is dragged around by the narrative #it kind of doesn’t matter if they have a personality. they’ll do what the plot demands of them. #tom holland Spider-Man has never done anything wrong ever I guess #which is why I’m so mad they waited 3 movies to give him character flaws. disney you’re insane for that. #it took you 3 movies ??? to give him any semblance of a personality?? #is that just how long it takes for you to Warm Up?? #like you’re heating up the worlds slowest cup of tea???????????

Ngl I'm lowkey intrigued by the idea of Jason being considered an actual "Al Ghul Prince" (even if Damian is still the Al Ghul heir) and what kind of drama that could entail in your fic XD

A…. lot. Honestly at this point “What you’re longing for” is more of a soap opera than anything lmao.

I’m not sure if it’s gonna fit into the fic yet, most likely it will stay heavily implied, but if the Bats do end up finding out about Jason’s status as, well, royalty in a way, Bruce is sure to get some more gray hairs lmao.

Jason for his part… mostly doesn’t realize what it means to be so thoroughly incorporated into the al Ghul family. He just thinks he’s finally lucked out on a family that would (and has already) killed for him. He remains largely oblivious to all the deference the regular league members show him now and thinks it’s due to his rank as a general.

(He is also not aware of the couple Shadows that Talia and Ra’s have tailing him at all times in case he ever gets in over his head with a bust, but that’s neither here nor there.)

#love us some protective murder families #Jason has the nice and moral bat family #and his mildly deranged assassin family #homeboy went from zero to hundred but he ain’t even mad #Damian is very smug about having a scary older brother #Ra’s pretty much just shrugged and continued his research on ecosystems #Talia is very proud of her murder babies #Jason must never find out she essentially child proofed Gotham for him tho #nah uh sir #there’s absolutely no reason why the court hasn’t shown up more often #none at all #COUGH #what you’re longing for you claim to abhor #fic #fanficiton #Jason todd #red hood #Talia al ghul #damian wayne #Damian al ghul #ra’s al ghul

if you dont “believe” in aftercare you deserve to get run over by a bus btw

#tbd #saw a crazy tweet now im just thinkin abt how many people dont think aftercare is necessary #my ex didnt think it was needed ever #he would do crazy things specifically to avoid anything that could be taken as care or intimacy after sex #and it did awful things to my brain!! #i have such a weird relationship with sex now because i’ve never experienced aftercare #its crazy that people think its an absolute necessity #i remember one time he left immediately like he always did #so obviously i started crying cause its very confusing to have sex and then the person just walks out not even 5 mins after!! #especially for how young i was it was Confusing #and he came back cause he forgot his wallet or something so he saw me crying #got mad at me it become an argument etc etc cause i told him why i was crying #and he said to me and i Quote #‘expecting a guy to care about you after sex is idiotic and immature- #‘you should be glad you’re even getting laid in the first place so take what you can get and stop expecting guys to care abt anything else’ #which is an insane thing to say and i Believed it for years #the fact i was sitting there crying and i told him it was bc he made me feel like he hated me and i was awful and a worthless girlfriend?? #and that was his response ??? how crazy do you have to be #anyways. aftercare is always necessary and if you dont provide then one of you is gonna be suffering

On the subject of gotham county line and batman noel and so on and so forth it’s pretty frustrating (from a watsonian pov) that anytime Bruce hallucinates Jason being loving/ caring/helpful/compassionate towards him it’s always as robin and never as his current self

#it's ironic because Jason as robin never got the chance to become as obedient & devoted (malleable) to Bruce as he currently is #which is a result of being abused/manipulated for a more prolonged period of time #“maybe if I try harder and do it right this time he'll finally see the truth” #classic abuse tactic #no matter how well the victim fits the mold set by the abuser they’ll never acknowledge it #rather if they see you trying they’ll push harder and tell you you’re not perfect #the small shreds of affection here and there are important for motivating the victim to keep trying #kelseethe #Jason initiating the hug in rhato 27 after Bruce insinuated that those beatings will be a regular occurence bc he deems it a necessity #continuing to support Bruce even after Ethiopia and sticking around to help get Damian back #eagerly cooperating with Bruce + co in event leviathan then getting surprise pikachu faced/hurt after being betrayed #making a conscious decision to comfort Bruce in gotham war after Bruce fucked him up and left him behind #having undying conern for Bruce's wellbeing while Bruce regularly endangers his life #ex. Bruce's weird habit of committing vehicular assault on Jason whenever they're on the road demonstrated both in tfz and gotham war #point being: Jason was much more psychologically fit to be defiant towards Bruce when he was robin compared to now #he's more of a “good son”™ now than he was as robin Bruce is just too used to thinking whatever he wants and never being satisfied #the only times Jason got mad/upset at Bruce during one issue and continued to stay mad until the next #other than lost days and utrh was batman 410-411 and early in aditf before Bruce helps Jason find Sheila #so much worse has happened since then and all that just magically became water under the bridge off-panel

I have a thought rolling around in my head about how fandom has a very rigid, very bland, very one-dimensional idea of what a ‘good’ parent looks like, and how this vision is entirely fantasy and wish-fulfillment

#like they come off as soooo ‘I wanted my parents to be supportive in everything I did and never get mad ever no matter what’ #and like… that’s not a person doing right by their child that’s an fantasy to make you feel like everything about you is good #you’re imagining robots that pat you on the head and call you good all the time #those aren’t PEOPLE #parents are people #which- and I’m sorry people don’t know this- but you would know if you had a positive healthy relationship with any kind of parental figure #and it gets me cause I think I write feanor as a very positive kind of father #but Ive gotten SO MANY comments going ‘oh I don’t like bad dad fenaor but your stuff-‘ and I’m just like ??? #I don’t write him as a bad dad! I write him as a person! a personality! and not some validation dispensing machine #and even the ‘good’ ‘great’ parents mess their kids up in some ways it’s literally impossible to not have a few hang ups from your parents #it’s about TRYING and TALKING and LOVE tho #not being perfectly accepting of everything no matter what #anyway that’s just what I had to say #new fandom challenge- write interesting parents #Tribble post

biting my fingers off

#resizura rants #this is why im mad that remake separate ways nixed adas report #because she makes it clear she only helped leon when it benefitted her #and its even more obvious in the remake but people cant realize that #and also this is so dumb because this has never happened #in re2 she actively tries to get leon to leave her alone #in re2r she’s the one who uses him for her mission #she doesnt help him with shit except for a couple convenient favors #re4 i already talked ab #and in re6 the whole point is everyones campaigns tie together #ada also helped jake and sherry #and she basically helped everyone by going after carla which was her main goal #and ofc if you only view ada as an extension of Ieon you’re gonna come to this conclusion #because fans dont see her as anything other than that #shes just leons eye candy and everything she does is for him #yeah she doesnt do anything for anyone else ever #she just had her entire life changed by one dumb white guy who she’s met like 4 times over the course of a decade

the same joe mixon that punched a woman in the face and broke bones? the one that also pointed a gun at a different woman and said “I should shoot you”? okay joe

#cincinnati bengals #joe burrow #istg if someone reblogs this and says ‘well they started it’ #AND HE ESCALATED IT TO A POINT IT SHOULD NEVER GET TO #i don’t care how mad you are why the fuck are you pointing a gun at someone’s face #i don’t care that she shoved him first #why did he punch her hard enough that she fell on the ground face first #if you’re sad mixon’s leaving i have to assume you hate women #jo.txt

[jellie-the-aqua-puma]

I have a feeling, IF Gojo actually survives this and IF he loses his six eyes ability as some have theorized, we’re going to find out the answer to:

“Are you Gojo Satoru because you’re the strongest or are you the strongest because you’re Gojo Satoru?”

I’m not sure where Gege is going with JJK at this point, so I don’t know what purpose that would serve given everything that’s happened, however, I can’t lie and say that I am absolutely not looking forward to it being the latter (You are the strongest because you are Gojo.) which I wholeheartedly believe is the answer to that.

#meaning that it wasn’t the techniques that made him strong #he made the techniques strong #Gege I have some major beef with you right now #but if we do end up finding the answer to that I will concede to your mad geniuses #I never knew or understood why Geto said that until just now #I was like “what a stupid thing to say when you’re breaking up with me - hater” #but now I see there might have been more to that #because we’ve seen Gojo is highly intelligent and creative capabale of performing feats like no other #he can’t do that just because he inherited the technique #didn’t Kenjaku kill the last six eyes user #the man absolutely makes the ability in this case #which we can parallel with Kenjaku’s use of Geto’s body #Geto didn’t know how potential. he was special grade for a reason but didn’t know he could inherit techniques #Kenjaku did. he brought that out. #that damn toji. Geto. why did you have to go #but thank you Geto for asking this question #jjk #jujutsu kaisen #jujutsu kaisen spoilers #jjk Gojo #gojo satoru #geto suguru #satosugu #kenjaku #jjk kenjaku #spoilers #spoiler #jjk spoilers #also. where tf is Kenny? no way Sukuna is the big bad guy

i don’t mean this to sound homophobic or whatever but some queer people literally cannot conceptualize that they actively look down on things they consider “basic” or “straight” with an insane level of contempt no matter how much they say they support everyone and everything. like. if i tell you i love riverdale because it’s campy and fun and you give me that look of disgust because you perceive riverdale as some basic lame straight people show. that’s not very like. nice. and then you refuse to hear me out in my show’s defense… and you just wave me off with a “whatever like whatever you like” but you’re still looking at me like i’ve just ordered a pumpkin spice latte while wearing ugg boots and listening to taylor swift. like at a certain point when will you admit you’re not actually very nice about people’s interests that don’t align with yours.

#i just brought up wonka to my friend and she immediately went into how much she doesn’t like timothee chalamet and she would never see this #stupid movie because she thinks he’s so annoying and da da da. #and i was like. well actually i love timothee chalamet i think he’s funny and i’d love to see him in a bad musical… #and i brought this up. because i was GOING to lead into asking her to see it with me so we could laugh at all the stupid parts together #and i didn’t even get there because she was frankly just such a hater #this is the real life friend who just followed me on letterboxd btw #i’m considering blocking her honestly because like. i do not vibe with the way she uses that website and i do not think it needs to be a #social media thing for us. it’s a little insane actually that she would actively want to follow me on there and then her own profile is so. #like it’s mean to say her profile sucks but she doesn’t have a picture or favorites and she doesn’t leave reviews and like. what am i #following you for!!!! why do you use this website!!!! #and i literally said to her girl your profile is a bit lame at least add a picture #and she got so mad at me for this as if i’d just suggested killing her boyfriend #which frankly i do want to do but that’s neither here nor there #like what do you think is going to happen to you if you pick four movies to represent your taste on the movie website. #if you put a little jpeg of a character you enjoy as your pfp. if you maybe express an opinion on something you saw #what fo you think will happen to you if you do those things. #and why. if you’re not going to do those things. did you need to follow ME. who does!!! #and get all up in MY movies and MY opinions and MY head while giving me nothing back…. #like. i say some shit on there ok why does she get to read that but all i get is. ‘watched some czech film from 1965 on december 14th’ #like hello. hi. hello.

anyways I need so desperately to meet other people whose family is all still in Iran. No shade to the few Iranian friends I’ve had/have but like. Well one of them was like “I would like to go but I just can’t with the government like that” and one reason they can be that comfortable saying that is because a lot of their extended family is here in the us. If I said that then I would never get to see anyone from my extended family. like do you understand how there’s no choice in that situation for me.

#vt.talk #a lot of people in my family have died (part of the effect of having a very large family) and yet I’ve never been to one funeral #it’s because plane tickets are expensive and my family has for the most of my life been in a state where we have to save for these things #there’s a lot of experiences I realize now that I ‘missed out on’ because the money my parents could’ve put towards other things went to #family or visiting family. I’m not upset. I’m glad I’ve gotten to meet with my extended family. I think it’s been better #but it makes you. it makes. #also at least my family’s entire thing is that the last is painful and if you stay on it you will drown #I’ve gotten scolded. kinda. for showing a lot of emotion over things like this. also the whole no one will believe you if you’re emotional #which when I think of how mossadeghs emotions were used against him. ough. #but yeah it comes into play now when people around me are like :o this thing in history/the present day is so horrible I’m so mad!!! #and I’m sitting here almost emotionless. I hate myself for it sometimes. #whatever rant over

watching the 1979 special “legend of the superheroes - the roast” featuring adam west’s batman and burt ward’s robin, where, as the subtitle implies, it’s a comedy roast of the superheroes. so all the superheroes are on stage and get harassed by characters etc.

and there is this part where robin is worrying over the fact that he has totaled the batmobile while parking it and he’s incredibly nervous to tell batman.

he tells batman through a game of charades because he’s too scared to tell him outright. when batman gets it he squeezes his hand tightly and threats more violence upon him when they return home.

what have you done with my sweet adam west batman. the one who growled if you hurt one hair on [robin’s] head i’ll—! the one who said i’d give my life for that boy. where is he.

#adam west batman never ever ever got like. MAD at robin until this #sure he’d like gently repremand him and set him on a more righteous mindset if he ever got frustrated or whatever #but he never hurt him intentionally or threatened him ever #it was so weird to see this #im like you’re writing him wrong #this iteration of batman would be dismayed but happy that robin is ok and glad he told him the truth #also youre a fucking millionaire wayne #of course if what he’s threatening him is violent batcave sex im totally cool

vent

this is fucking amazing (<- Liar)

#My dad is being… Well my dad #He’s making me hangout with the family when I feel like crying #But if I tell him I don’t feel good he thinks I’m lying and gets mad at me #Or asks me why I never talk to him #And I just can’t anymore #On top of that he made a joke about my stepbrother #You haven’t spoken to him in three months #and neither have i #I’m fucking hurt over this #and you’re turning it into a joke #This is just. Agh. #Also #I can’t find this book i know I have and it’s getting in my nerves #Smh this is a stupid vent #but I just don’t know anymore- lol

And then I finally end it off with some doodles of them… they make me feel things.

#ringmaster doodles #sona art #( they’re very much the theme of. love in the face of the neverending march of time. ) #( being immortal and knowing you will outlive the man you love because someone else deemed he unworthy of eternal life. ) #( he may still have tens of thousands of years left. sure. but you know that those will go by and he’ll disappear in the blink of an eye. ) #( and you’ll sit there on his death bed. wondering why did things end up like this? ) #( wondering what you did wrong. and if you could have done something different. you’ll always ask yourself. ) #( if he lives a life of happiness and comfort or did he live a life as gruesome and miserable as the wars on earth? but you won’t know. ) #( and the more you think about it. the more you realize it. how nihilistic he was. and how he never seemed to smile even in the good times. #he always seemed to have a frown or a scowl on his face. he always seems bothered and unhappy. ) #( so you wonder if it was something you did. because you know you aren’t perfect. you’re hardly good. ) #( you wonder if he’s mad at you. maybe he was. but he doesn’t have the heart to stay mad. ) #( and that’s love in the face of adversity. knowing that no matter how bad it gets. he loves you as you love him. ) #( and you wonder why he never smiles. because he truly never does. and so you ask him. honest and true. ) #( and he tells you there isn’t anything worth smiling for. nothing in this whole world. ) #( but he smiles at you. it’s always small. and it’s always brief. ) #( but that smile. that smile means love. ) #( that hug. as flimsy as it may be. that hug means love. ) #( of course. he isn’t affectionate. if anything. he detests it. he hates physical contact of any kind. you’ve noticed. ) #( which is a shame. you love your hugs and your kisses and your hand holding. ) #( but even if he doesn’t like it. he lets you do it. because it makes you happy. ) #( and you learn that when you’re happy. he’s a little less miserable. ) #( of course. not all love is equal. and not all love is fair. ) #( the love from a lover and the love from the father can never equate to one another. ) #( no one will love you in the same way a father or mother loves you. in the same manner. no one will ever love you the way I do. ) #( because my love will remain with you. long after I disappear. ) #( and as bitter as the idea of my own existence coming to an end is. knowing I did all of this for. essentially nothing. ) #( that I’ve gone through all this pain and suffering and hardship just for it to all amount to nothing. for it to be fucking useless to try. #I get to die knowing that you’ll always love and be loved. and that’s enough for me… ) #( … maybe there is something worth smiling for after all. )
