William Van Beckum

[callmesel]

My favourite headcanon is Kid Percy been a revengeful kid and an absolutely menace to society but no one's seems to care because he is quiet and knows when to behaved when asked.

Like, he would put Bill's stuff in the chicken coop whenever he was mad at him and blame the twins for doing so.

Or make everybody think that Fred is George and George is Fred in purpose knowing damn well that he is the few that knows who is who 100% of the time. The twins were kind of pissed after being confused for a whole week without them wanting to and Percy's shitty grin doesn't help.

Or "borrowing" Charlie's precious dragon books and reading them in dangerous places like, too near the fireplace, outside when the garden is muddy and the twins are nearby, drinking oj with the book layed on the kitchen counter. Have Charlie 5 heart attacks but could take his book back because "he said he will let him read it" and "Percy is responsable enough and he should worry because it's just Percy reading".

Or "helping" mum to make Bill's fav dessert but put a bit too much fruit for Bill's liking (or something similar).

Honestly, anything involving dessert he is getting his tiny baby hands on it and intentionally fucking it up in a way that the only one suffering it's you.

He also "help" Fred and George clean there room and moving all their stuff in different places knowing damn well how they normally organize their stuff. The twins even got scolded for making a mess trying to re-do their room and Percy got an extra cookie because "the poor boy wanted to help and you destroyed everything he has done".

Oh! And he was super petty. He ate the last piece of pie in front of Ron knowing that Ron wanted that pie. But of course he didn't do it when Ron told him directly he wanted that pie but he will do it if he is really mad and heard it earlier.

He would do it to anyone except Ginny because that's his baby sister and he would never do such things to her. But he would definitely leave embarrassing pictures on her desk or whatever just for her to remember them, like the time she puked on the beach all over her just built sandcastle.

Anyway, kid Percy was a petty sassy and probably would tell you that you look like a newborn baby owl making you think he complemented you but actually was calling you ugly.

I love him very much.

For a long time, I didn’t think Quest for the Cursed Bone (1984) actually existed. The other Kid Stuff D&D tie-ins (like Black Dragon Bog) weren’t exactly easy to find, but there were enough floating around that I knew I’d get my hands on them eventually. Unlike those, which are 7-inch records accompanied by a storybook, Cursed Bone was apparently a 12” LP with no storybook. Until then, I didn’t know Kid Stuff (who produced lots of record/tape-and-book tie-ins for a variety of properties) even made LPs. Coupled with the fact that, for a long while, there was no real record of the thing online aside of one old photo, I began to suspect that Cursed Bone only existed as a kind of prototype or was only released to test markets, like the wind-up D&D toys from LJN.

And, honestly, I still suspect that. Only nine other people have the thing listed in their Discogs and I have only seen one copy surface on eBay in ten years (this one). So I dunno. The hilarious thing is that I can’t bear to listen to these things. Black Dragon Bog was so full of fremdschämen, I’ve never had the grit to put the others on the turntable, including this one. So I have no idea why anyone wants a cursed bone. This one has the tightest sleeve art of the group, though — Mercion looks particularly cool on the back cover, I think. No idea who the wizard is, or the elf.

If you want to hear about cursed bones, someone has thoughtfully uploaded the audio to YouTube.

Super Powers: The Battle for Apokolips

[mlobsters]

was talking to the kids about injuries and surgeries, as you do, and relating the story that my brother had to get some pins in his shoulder due to it getting dislocated way too many times while playing high school football. and my 7 year old was like, hey, that guy you're gonna do the painting of, with the bracelet from when you were getting your surgery (fall risk sam), he had to get shoulder surgery too, right??

little man blew my mind. *i* had forgotten about that, and that i had mentioned it before! hah. each kid is so different and that guy, he really listens and absorbs. i love it. tracking jared padalecki's personal injury history. i told him about the two hand breaking incidents and cast as well, to add to his compendium😂

These mini pinballs from Five Below are cute but nothing anyone would want to actually sit down and play for more than a few seconds:

•No lighting

•No score keeping

•Too fast gameplay because of the size

•Dodgy flippers*

But what do I really expect for $5? These technically aren't for me but I couldn't resist because they were cute and had some stuff I like on them like Invader Zim!

These are more like display pieces of things I like..

In a way they're like earlier pinball except much nore cheaply made... Haha

*Possibly anecdotal because others may have better ones

In a way they're like earlier pinball except much nore cheaply made... Haha

One detail I like on the Invader Zim one... Gaz playing her GameSlave-2! 😁💜🕹️👍🏻

It has a light diffuser here which suggests it was originally intended to be illuminated from the inside.. there's no light intake on the other side..

I've been told I'd lose it every time someone took or if I lost my pacifier as a baby. I remember sucking my thumb until 1st or 2nd grade. I wonder if it's just a weird "all babies do that" thing or if it's autism. I'm autistic btw.

Tiny Playrooms Kitchen Set for The Sims 2 (Washing Machine is a functional toy!)

As soon as I saw this beautiful set from Sixam CC I wanted to convert it, especially I wanted to find a way to make the tiny washing machine functional and I finally did it!

The set contains functional kitchen, sink, fridge, bookcase, shopping cart (works like a toy box) and a deco mini counter, mixer and cleaning kit.

Sink and Fridge are based on Rebecah Sims cc and there are 2 version for the toy kitchen, one with the sink and one without (choose only one because they use the same guid). In the one with the sink, it isn't functional. In the one without you can put the functional sink on the slot and your children sims will use it.

Washing Machine is something completely new I created myself, mixing as always animations from the base game ^^

The washing machine increases fun and cleaning skill. Here a look on how it works:

Hope you like it! All the cc are low poly and come with a bunch of recolors. The two laundry basket used for this toy are 4to2 conversions from Zamboxious Sims and SIMcredible!

things i did as a ten year-old: tell stories into a tape recorder in which i had a self insert that was the tape recorder itself (but pedantic) climb this one really big tree and look at people with binoculars bring an umbrella outside when it was sunny, fill a clear water bottle with cranberry juice, wear all black and pretend i was a vampire collect animal bones, arrange them in a circle and lie motionless in the center. for fun wear my grandmother's hand-me-down old dress and go sit in the ruins of the abandoned mill seeing how long i could stare at passerby without blinking pretend to drown my dolls in puddles

*Throws golden coin at you like you are a wishing well and I’m a poor country girl waiting for a miracle* Tell us more of your Valenwind thoughts/headcanons PLEASEEE I’m begging you!

OK but remember, you asked for it. *cracks knuckles*

Physical Stuff: -vincent is half chinese or whatever the FF equivalent is. nothing is ever mentioned about his mother so no one can prove he isn't. (just let me have this one SE) -vincent's cloak/cape and headband are not fabric, they are some kind of organic extension of himself, that he has control over. though sometimes the cloak just does things and vincent is unconscious of it, like a cat twitching its tail -because of his circulation issues, due to his heart being replaced with protomateria, vincent has severe orthostatic hypotension (stand-up dizzies). cid is used to just catching him as he pitches over and moving on, without remarking on it -vincent is a mass of scars and mutilations (replaced parts, missing organs, etc.) which is why he covers his body entirely from the neck down with all that leather armor and gloves. -cid is a huge fan of vincent's monster hand because it has claws and he loves back scratches

Sexy stuff below the cut. And more, I got a little carried away.

Sexy Stuff: -vincent is anxious bordering on panicked to show cid his body, at first, because he thinks it's hideous and repulsive, and honestly there's just a lot of shame associated with being the victim of torture and systematic medical abuse -what vincent does not know is how much cid loves scars. like he fucking LOVES them (to the point where it's almost a scar fetish) -the first time they sleep together, cid slowly undresses vincent, little by little, touches and kisses all his scars, sincerely and fervently adores all the parts of him he thinks are ugly and horrifying, and makes him feel beautiful for the first time in his life -when cid sees vincent completely naked, he tears up because he's so beautiful to him, and he can't believe he got this lucky

-HC adopted from @getvalentined: vincent's already impressive dick was lost or removed during hojo's butchering of his body, but much to hojo's chagrin, it grew back even bigger (my own addition is some slightly monstrous characteristics) -cid is well above average in the dick department (note to self, change ask box title to dick department) but he can't help comparing himself to vincent and feeling a little intimidated

-vincent is a temperate and reserved person, but because of something to do with his chaos-induced fuckery, ever so often he goes fucking FERAL (almost like he's in heat), and cid is the lucky beneficiary of this. he winds up with bite wounds and claw scratches all over his body, over which vincent agonizes, while cid calls them battle scars and proudly flaunts them

Because reasons: -sometimes vincent pulls his hair up into a ponytail, removes the cape and headband, and just wears ripped up black jeans and a faded old black tank top. no one has ever seen him like this, aside from cid, because he has never been able to keep this ensemble on his person long enough to leave the house in it

Family Stuff (I don't usually do kids in fic, but i think these two would be cute with one) -shera is the bro of all time and is their surrogate when they have a baby -projected rendering of what the baby will look like, created by the friend group:

-cid and vincent did that thing where they mixed the sperm donations because they didn't want to know who would 'really be the father' cloud: [looking at their black-haired, crimson-eyed baby] uh…

-their daughter is named olivia. vincent calls her olivia. that is her name. -cid settles firmly and immovably on ollie, which everyone else winds up calling her too

-causing several people to lose egregious sums of money in the group betting pool, ollie's first word is not 'fuck'. that is her second word. her first word is papa. well it was 'bapa' but cid insists that counts

-baby ollie doesn't like anyone besides her daddies but cloud, and sticks herself to him like a little leech whenever he's around cid: hey ollie, who am i [points to self] ollie: bapa cid: who's that [points to vincent] ollie: dada cid: who's that [points to cloud] ollie: mama cid: no--

-sephiroth is vincent's biological child and he has just learned from cloud that he has a little half sister sephiroth: [appears, looks down at the crimson-eyed toddler with deep disdain] i'm still the oldest, so don't get any ideas about taking my place. i'll always be the pinnacle of our genetic-- ollie: gege sephiroth: [kneeling in front of the play swing] here is your juice box, is there anything else you want, my princess? say the word and gege will get it for you. is there anywhere you want to go? anyone you want killed? no? well, you can hardly have enemies at your age, but when you acquire some, come to gege and he'll take care of them for you.

-late one night sephiroth: [appears standing over cid and vincent's bed] cid and vincent: GAAAH! sephiroth: my sister has been crying for twelve seconds, unanswered. DO YOU WANT HER TO HAVE NEGLECT TRAUMA? cid: [grumbling as he clambers out of bed] neglect trauma i'm aboutta have sephiroth jump scarin me in my goddamn house trauma vincent: ….sister?

-they put both surnames on her birth certificate, to give ollie a choice whose surname she wants to use -one day, when she's older, she comes home with her newly printed ID documents reading "Olivia Valenwind" -both dads come down with a sudden case of chopping onions

**i just realized some people might not know that "gege" (pronounced like guh-guh) is mandarin affectionate for "big brother"

@a-schrodingers-fox I hope that was worth your gold coin! NO REFUNDS!

On the topic of gentle parenting (I’ve said all this before but not here and it bears repeating anyway) the counter argument of “well I would gentle parent if it worked but try that with my kid and you’ll see they don’t care” is so asinine

Like you wouldn’t sit a six year old down with their first primer and then expect them to be able to read fluently from that day forward. You wouldn’t only take your child to ONE swim lesson and then be done for the rest of the summer. You wouldn’t expect your dog to follow the “sit” or “shake” commands after one day of training. This is just not how learning works.

So yes, after one single instance where you tried gentle parenting techniques, your child is not going to respond automatically. That’s why we teach. That’s why we keep doing it, over and over, until they learn.

I used to nanny for a family of twelve. My main responsibilities were taking care of the four youngest - three little boys and an eleven year old girl. Every single one of them was rowdy and loud and over-energetic all the time - the exact kinds of kids I usually see described as “demon spawn”. The boys were pretty easy to calm down, but the girl had a mean streak and she liked to cause problems.

It didn’t take me long to realize why, though. Her brothers were the babies of the family, and they were used to getting all the love and toys and granted desires they could want. By contrast, she was usually overlooked. All of the times she came and wrecked a board game I was playing with the boys, or the times she unplugged the tv so we couldn’t watch the movie she didn’t like, or the times she ran screaming in circles around the room because her baby brother was crying and my focus was on him - it all made sense.

And so the next time she came and tried to ruin our game, I told her calmly that if she wanted my attention that was okay and I was happy to give it to her, but she wasn’t allowed to be mean to her brothers to get it. If she wanted to play a game with me one on one, all she had to do was pick one out and ask.

This girl, who was normally angry and weepy and refused to listen to any kind of reason, looked like her entire world had just flipped inside out. She dropped the board game piece she’d taken, turned around, and walked out of the room. Fifteen minutes later she was back with a bag of Uno cards, hanging her head and asking me quietly if I would please play with her.

That was one of our best moments. Yes, she was still prone to tantrums and lashing out. No, things weren’t always perfect after that. But seriously, most of the time “bad” kids are genuinely just starved for something - attention, instruction, validation, or even just some damn peace and quiet (which none of these kids ever got having ten siblings). You’d be amazed how far a loving word and a firm boundary can go for any kid. Especially when they rarely get those things at home.

i personally think that if your small son is physically abusing his sister/step sister or another little girl and he steps up to her and throws a pair of fists at her, she fully has the right to punch him in the face. any sane little boy would consciously decide not to engage in this behavior towards girls anymore.

now here's where you might think i'm the bad guy for having this particular opinion:

i also happen to think that a little boy can do the same thing if a little girl puts him into the same situation.

coming from someone who was bullied and physically abused by nearly every other child i met for my entire life up until my mom kicked me out and i moved away:

you should teach your child to defend themselves from all people who bully them. not just when the bullies are of the same gender as your child. all bullies should expect to get punched in self defense when they physically abuse another child, and all children should be subjected to talking-to's and any needed mental health evaluations when they exhibit violent and bullisome behavior towards other children around them.
