#<- subtle but it's definitely there

I was thinking about one of the headcannons @whos-lucy had and I was wondering... What would a day in Shanon's life look like with Vee asking permission to do... Literally anything? So I wrote about it, you're welcome.

*cough* @soupiestzilla *cough* eat food.

Shanon smiled as she got up that morning, as it was one of the first days off she had with the toons, and she wanted to spend time with them to see what they liked to do. She stretched, yawned, then simply walked out of her room, pajamas and messy hair, no care. Though in the hallway, she ran into an odd sight... Vee was just sitting there, waiting, sitting on the edge of the living room. Shanon looked at her with a very confused look, while Vee just silently stared back for a moment, hand on her leg, where she had been injured when she found her.

"May I change my bandages in the bathroom, please?" Vee quietly asked, which made Shanon even more confused. Why... Would she have to ask about that..?

"Uh, yeah Vee, that's... Pretty important. Do you want me to come help you?" She asked, and when the robot nodded, she smiled and walked right over, scooping up the toon and going into her room again to use the master bathroom instead, as it had more space to move in it. Vee looked extremely anxious, clinging to her as she looked down.

"Miss, I'm not-"

"You're allowed in my room, Vee. It's alright to look around, you're okay here." Shanon softly reassured, flicking on the light to her bathroom before she sat Vee down on the toilet seat, then knealt down in front of her and started unbandaging her leg. Vee was silent, looking away, still staring at the floor. Was she never allowed to look at any room except hers? Why would she behave like that? Shanon just grabbed the first aid kit she kept beside the shower and opened it, grabbing the things she needed to rebandage it before she closed it again, and soon patched her right up. They couldn't clean it or disinfect it because... Well... That's wet, she can't get Vee wet, so that was what they had to do. It did look much better already though, ichor was weird like that. Shanon slowly got back up and picked Vee right up again, walking out of the bathroom with her before she turned off the light, then walked out of her room again. She never closed any doors, mostly since she was used to living completely on her own, plus she didn't have anything to hide from them honestly.

"Now, where did you want to go? I gotta make Shelly and I breakfast." She asked, getting a shrug from Vee.

"I usually just stay in our room... I don't do much..." She admitted, making Shanon immediately concerned.

"Vee, you can do stuff, you never have to shut yourself in your room here. Come on, let's go to the kitchen together, I... Don't like the idea of you being alone." She replied, and without even waiting for a reply, she carried Vee right off to the kitchen with her, putting her down on a stool she had in there before she started getting things ready to make the food. Vee watched, looking extremely hesitant to do anything other than listen to Shanon. It was kind of concerning...

"Am I allowed to go see where Shelly is?" Vee asked, making Shanon nod.

"Just don't run, please. You're allowed to find your girlfriend though." Shanon softly replied, watching as the robot very carefully lowered herself and got off the stool, just to very carefully start walking off at an incredibly slow pace. Shanon blinked a few times as Shelly walked in casually, then sighed when she saw what Vee was doing.

"Vee your normal walk isn't running."

"To you! What if she thinks it is? I'd be in trouble!" Vee retorted, which made Shanon sigh.

"Honey she's right, you can walk normally, you can even speed walk, I just don't want you going so fast you run into things. You're also an adult, you really don't need my permission to do anything." She explained, getting a nod of understanding from Shelly, while Vee just... Looked even more nervous, now fidgeting with her antennae and looking at Shelly, obviously not really understanding. Shelly just shrugged as she sat on the counter, understanding the very laid back rules pretty well- as long as things are reasonably clean, nothing is broken on purpose and nobody's hurt, she doesn't care. But to Vee, this was a field of landmines, sure she'd say it's fine now but later, what would happen? Delilah always was that way, one day she'd be able to go to a certain room, the next day it's banned. One day she can take a nap, the next day she can't. She could hardly see the other mains in her freetime in the end, as Delilah kept telling her no. Vee was confused... And always has been, honestly. She looked at Shanon for answers again, pleading with her for more strict rules, but they were never answered, mostly because she had genuinely no idea.

"So... Can... Can we play a board game after breakfast and be okay?" Vee asked after an internal panic attack, and Shanon nodded.

"Yeah I actually bought those for you two the day after I brought you here, I'm surprised you never touched them." Shanon replied casually, making Vee nervously laugh while Shelly looked at her.

"Vee kept saying we'd be in trouble if we did and refused to touch them, I have no idea why she's like this. Wasn't Veronica the really laid back handler you really liked to hang around, mom?" Shelly asked, and Shanon nodded, having a feeling she knew exactly why though. She had to hold back from showing anger, but after seeing her babies in such a poor state, abandoned, forgotten, and now acting like abused children- oh she was pissed at Delilah. She just took a deep breath, then smiled again.

"Veri is still like that, just in a different state now, we still talk. But don't worry about it baby, I'll handle it, okay?" Shanon reassured as she continued to make the pancakes, getting a nod from Shelly. She could tell Shelly had a lot more trust and love in her than Vee, but she was at peace with that, as she was Shelly's handler not Vee's. She'll show Vee as much love as she could, she'll make her feel very loved and cared for, even if she would have to hide the fact that she wants to grab an AK-47 and kill a bitch while doing so.

"We'll just work extra hard to make her see how nice you are!" Shelly boldly said, getting a look from Vee.

"I know your handler, you two were inseparable, I trust her. I... I won't talk about it though, I'm not allowed t-"

"You're allowed to do anything, Vee, stop. If you need to talk about anything, we're here for you darling, please... Just say what's going on." Shelly pleaded, but Vee shook her head.

"I'll just go get the board games..." Vee softly spoke, walking off at a somewhat normal pace now. Shelly looked absolutely frustrated, her tail wagging slowly as she thought, obviously just wanting Vee to accept that everything is okay now and upset she couldn't grasp it yet. Shanon sighed as she flipped over the last pancake, then took it off the pan and slid it onto the plate she had for Shelly before handing it to her.

"I get it, I'm worried about her too, but I want you to trust me here. Just keep saying yes to everything she asks for, unless she's going to hurt someone. If we make it normal for her to hear yes, it'll help her understand a bit better. Though, if we could find out who made her like this, I'd like to know." Shanon softly said, and Shelly nodded as she started eating her pancakes quietly. She knew exactly what she meant, she was honestly on the same page though, she'd love to beat up whoever the hell made Vee so on edge about everything. The two however just quietly ate as they sat in different spots in the kitchen, Vee eventually coming back and just sitting on the floor between them, watching curiously. It was pretty uneventful for a bit, as all Vee wanted to do was play various board games with them, though when it was around lunchtime, there was a gentle tug on Shanon's shirt as she was making Shelly her dino nuggets. Shanon just looked, and it was Vee, holding one of Shanon's many dinosaur books.

"Yeah you can read that, go ah-"

"I was wondering if... You'd read it to me, after you eat." Vee gently corrected her, making Shanon blink a few times. Odd request, but if her and Shelly wanted storytime, she was willing to do it.

"Oh, yeah absolutely, you wanted to cuddle on the couch as I did it, right? Shelly told me you loved doing that." Shanon suggested, watching as Vee's eyes widened in shock and awe, her tail starting to wag a little as she just nodded. Shanon chuckled at that, it was so cute seeing her act like such a kid. Though she soon was back to making sure the nuggets didn't burn at all, ignoring how Vee walked off behind her, hoping pretending she didn't notice would make her feel more comfortable going around the house and exploring. However, it wasn't long before she felt a familiar tug, and she looked back over. Vee now had her favorite plush tucked under her arm, the other stayed in place with her hand still gripping her shirt. She looked up at her like a little kid would when they wanted attention, but didn't know how to ask for it, so Shanon softly pet her head a little as she turned back to the oven.

"Almost done honey, I can give you attention after they're done."

"Why are you so nice to me?" Vee suddenly asked, making Shanon freeze. Her heart ached at how confused and desperate for answers she sounded, and it hurt worse when she looked back at her and saw the weary look in her eyes and slight frown in her smile. She desperately needed love, even though she was scared of it. Shanon would've sobbed right there and then if she wasn't used to seeing that look.

"Because everyone deserves love, Vee. That would include you, and it always will, no matter who told you you don't before I took you in. You're always going to deserve to be treated like anyone else, and if anyone tells you otherwise, just tell them to shut the fuck up. You are an amazing toon, okay? I'll always be here to remind you of that, and so is Shelly." Shanon explained, watching Vee as she tried to make herself believe it, but she didn't seem to. That's okay, she'll believe it eventually, no matter how much it stung to see what used to be such a usually bold and outgoing person act so scared and beaten up.

"Can I have a hug before we start reading..?" Vee asked quietly, but before Shanon replied, she knealt down and gave the robot a tight hug, fighting back the tears that threatened to fall as she held her protectively. She'd swear she'll never let anyone else hurt her if she could, though she instantly started slightly crying when Vee hesitantly hugged her back. This poor baby... Was scared to give someone hugs... How dare they do this to her.

"You can always hug me baby, I'll always give you a hug. I'll always protect you... I promise."

"Always..?"

"Always."

I miss tv in the 2010s every day. You could put anything on air and get a 22 episode order and a five season run. Once Upon a Time was on and it basically spit in your face and told you that Olaf the snowman was Emma's second great uncle twice removed and you just accepted it. Golden age of the silver screen

[gigizetz]

Been having Secretly Smart Steve thoughts except it's less that his intellect is a secret and more that nobody ever noticed lmao

The initial thought for this is based on my mom's stories about acting like a ditzy airhead in high school but then graduating with honors

Within five minutes of walking into high school Steve definitely clocked that being cool was more important than being smart right? So he didn't really let on that he was good at class stuff and just let people think he was a simple jock

And Steve graduating isn't a huge thing cuz it happens during UD stuff which means they all miss graduation ceremony and just get their degrees later, so it's not like anyone saw the honors tassels that steve was given to wear with his grad gown

And the first real hint is Lucas trying to make a basket and getting frustrated. And Steve is like "here I'll show you" and proceeds to make every throw he makes from anywhere on the court and when Lucas asks how the fuck he does that Steve shrugs and is like "well, i mean, its all angles man"

Later Mike and Will are working on an egg drop project (you know the ones) and getting worked up cuz the eggs keep cracking. Steve has been watching TV or something the whole time and outta nowhere is like "yall are missing shock absorption and proper wind resistance, duh"

Nancy is trying to decode some number based cipher for fun but it's becoming rapidly Not Fun and Steve looks over her shoulder for like two seconds and goes "group the numbers into twos, subtract 18 from each, and then it's the alphabet letter based on the number" and then just walks off

Dustin is taking an engineering class and is having trouble building a bridge cuz it keeps collapsing when he sends a hot wheels car over it. Steve tells him he needs more load-bearing beams and to distribute the weight evenly and Dustin is surprised when it works

And, of course, Eddie sees all of this so one day when Max or Erica ask for help with some geometry homework he takes the worksheet they give him and immediately passes it along to Steve, waves off their disbelief, and sits all smug while Steve explains concepts they'd been missing entirely

Hey, do you think that the toy train Arthur and John found in the Dreamlands in Part 14:

Was supposed to remind Arthur of William’s toy train?

Because ouch…

We knew the King in Yellow is incredibly good at elusively and psychologically torturing his victims while in the Dreamlands, and it's insane how obscure this reference to Arthur's past was.

because of my favorite scene from ep29 s3 and Rowdy's little self help book.

"Look boss, this chapter's about you; How to stop being an asshole."

[sunnysideaeggs]

i am SO mad that we were robbed of this scene in the show. aegon literally vanished and left them a pile of shit to clean up 😭 no king no princes, just a spiky chair, a dirty pot and an empty wallet.

Gandalf is back, he delivers messages from Galadriel to Aragorn and Legolas and Gimli is like "what 🥺? no message for me 🥺? Not even to tell me of my death 🥺?" Gandalf says "my bad bro, she said to use ur axe good" and GIMLI LEAPS UP AND SINGS IN JOY THAT "HIS LADY" (her words not mine) SENT HIM A MESSAGE
