Drew some M(itosis)preg AU Doodles at Uni!!

(Imagine this is a timeline where Garp didnt know he can 'give birth')

Sengoku & Tsuru: Please, don't hold your baby like that Garp.

Tsuru wants to make sure Garp feels how she and Sengoku felt around him (Garp always drives them crazy, so now its their turn for payback)(little did they know, that exact baby is gonna cause so much trouble for the world)

Quick father-son nap /(>×<)\

To Rayleighs dismay, in a decade and half, hes tasked with raising not one, but TWO babies lol.

He also got it wrong about Garp. Garp didnt pull noone, he only gave birth🤷‍♂️

Just the sons being adorable😙✨️

Were MC or any of the ROs ever prom king/queen or on the homecoming court?

for MC, imma leave that up to y’all when the time comes to choose. i do imagine they were a strong contender even if they didn’t want to participate.

none of the ROs wanted to be included in these kinds of things. C was only on the planning committee for both homecoming and prom with MC because their teachers wanted them to get along well together.

I’ve never been so angry in my life than when I went to look up Lilo & Stitch 2025 reviews and THE MAJORITY were going “this is such a faithful adaption and so full of heart :)”

Like

I fully believe either somebody is straight up paying you to say that, or you genuinely never even liked this franchise in the first place and just cared about how you think Stitch is cute

It's roundup time!

October wasn't as generous as we hope - whither the spooky Halloween Phantoms? Come on, y'all, he was only very recently more of a romantic figure! Someone who watched Hammer get in on this! - but still a few new ones, as well as some fun in the audiobook genre!

Phantom No More by Grace King is part of a series of period stories in which Erik is given a love interest other than Christine with whom to grow old and romantically happy. This one is a medical professional who obviously can't resist the chance to heal this sad sack in both mind and body...

The Phantom of the Theater by Elle M. Drew is a short about a plucky fat girl who investigates just what is going on in the booth after creepy happenings start interfering with the local theater's film screenings. Looks like it might owe a bit to the many horror film theater Phantoms, but with a romantic ending!

The Phantom's Melody by Australia D. Kincannon is a period romance with a time travel twist - a surprisingly common formula in Phantom stories! It revolves around a girl named Melody who goes to New York to see Phantom on Broadway (so in the recent past, alas) but accidentally time-travels to the real Phantom's time period and ends up in Paris, where the Phantom is right in the middle of realizing that his plan to blow up the opera house is probably not getting him the romantic points he wanted, and is all ready for a fresh new love interest who isn't attempting to flee with her fiance. Looks like an opportunity to absolutely fill out some bingo cards with common Phantom story tropes, but that doesn't mean you won't enjoy it!

And lest the audiophiles be left out, two books that aren't new but ARE new to audiobook!

The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux is the Mireille Ribiere translation, so you can now listen to the audiobook withot also having to suffer the de Mattos translation! (Sorry, de Mattos. You brought great things to us in the English-speaking world, but nowadays we like things to be less expurgated.)

Phantom by Greer Rivers is a dark romantic-leaning retelling of the story, now available on audio for those who enjoyed it in its original form. Bonus: it's now available in both English and German, in print and audio both!

See you all in December! :)

“But the nightmare was a strange comfort to me; in it, I found a sense of escape, and were it possible to go live in that nightmare, I would have, bizarre though that may sound.” ― M.D. Elster, Four Kings

[pinfalles]

just realised how many heels/heel-adjacent characters i've got here and i wanted to say real quick that the majority of them are cruel. they are not nice. some of them act the way they do because they enjoy it, some feel it's their right, some think they aren't doing anything wrong, etc. if an interaction isn't going the way you'd hoped it would with them, i'm always happy to talk it out, but please know their first instinct is always going to be 'be exactly what they are'
