The Afton’s different ways of parenting in FNAF

i think its so funny when people take the way donnie acts at face value even though its a horrible lie because he's a horrible liar, while understanding leo is bullshitting very well despite him actually being GOOD at bullshitting. many such cases

[mohntilyet]

my initial knee jerk reaction to lucanis/spite saying "family, enemies, contracts" was bad because it felt like an oversimplification but actually thinking on it i really love that lucanis forces himself into this box to make things make sense in his life. family is unconditional, enemies are to be killed, but contracts is so. interesting... man who promises mila that he will find her father because he does not fail contracts. the same man who tells effe that he will kill her slaver because he needs to turn her from a poor young woman that he sympathises with, into someone he can make a deal with. it's not kindness, it's not weakness, he's just fulfilling a contract, and crows don't break contracts. if he kills a bunch of racist blood mages during that process, then he's not breaking the rules, just bending them. a very convenient excuse to be a good man while still being a crow and assassin. and of course when spite is forced into him, he gets out of it with something familiar! by making another deal! something he could work with, something he HAS to work with, because being just an abomination is unthinkable. if he can work himself out of this problem like he's done with every other contract in his life, in his mind maybe there's some tiny chance that this becomes another job that he can claw his life back from.

I try to imagine that world, somewhere in the future, with no Games, no Capitol. A place like the meadow in the song I sang to Rue as she died. Where Peeta’s child could be safe.

Fortune forever smiles upon me to be the humble recipient of yet another @smallpapers master work. I would call it perfect timing since they sent me this as I was just listening to The Katniss Chronicles' epilogue. But anytime is perfect timing to receive a piece of most glorious work as this! Thank you so, so much to the Great Papers of Tumblr! Forever in adoration of this along with everything else in your portfolio.

Real talk though, even though I draw a lot of silly stuff from the Mafia x Gang leader au, this is by no means a happy story. No one is gonna die (I'm not as strong as Tay 😭) But nevertheless, it won't end in the "best" way, at least not for Nezha.

Anyways more Mafia x Gang leader lore ramble below

Again, Ao Bing is a mafia heir. Despite his family's goal to keep the public at large safe and unaware of the worst parts of humanity, they don't do so through the most legal or moral of means. Every member of the Loong family has had blood on their hands, every member of the Loong family has had to pull a few strings to get what they want, and that includes Ao Bing.

Whether it be because an enemy gang or mafia decides to target Ao Bing to get the upper hand over the fallen Loong family, or because the Li family finds out about the new residents' insidious background, either way, Nezha will find out who Ao Bing truly is. He's done his fair share of crime in his years haunting the streets of Chentang Guan: Theft, property damage– a broken nose or bone here or there– but Nezha hasn't done the things Ao Bing has had to do. Nezha has never killed.

(Admittedly, he's conflicted about this. Who wouldn't be when the man you've been head over heels for, the man who seems to share the same feelings you do, turns out to be a member of a mafia? And one of the most infamous and influencial families at that, especially during the height of their power)

(He doesn't know how to feel about this, doesn't know how to feel about Ao Bing. And the worst part about this- he believes- is the terrifying thought that this doesn't change the way he sees him. Nezha, still high on the ecstacy of young love, can't seem to pull back rose tinted lenses whenever Ao Bing is near, can't stop the way his pulse thrums at every, airy laugh, every soft smile, every small act and drop of attention Ao Bing generously spares his poor heart)

(Ao Bing made him feel seen, dared him to feel vulnerable for what must have been the first time in what felt like forever. He was his equal in almost every way, and looked past that rough exterior and delinquent past he bore proudly to protect himself, and instead saw a lonely boy– much like himself– who desperately needed someone who understood him.)

Even still, Nezha is distanced from Ao Bing. But whether it's by his own doing or by his family's insistence though doesn't matter, because the two won't stay apart for long. When news of Ao Guang's youngest, surviving heir and his newfound weakness becomes known, word spread from the angry whispers of the enemy gangs surrounding the small town of Chentang Guan, up, up until it finds the ears of the members of the Chan Sect, a well-known group of law enforcers that- despite the image they uphold of morality and safety for all- are no better, if not worse than the Loong family who once ruled the city the Chan Sect now watch over.

Seeing some way to extinguish the still burning remnants of the crime family, the members of the Chan Sect make their way to Chentang Guan and striked.

Nezha had always been the target of injustice, but at least a majority of the hardship and shame were thrown at him.

Now though, with not only his family but the families of his members on the line, alongside the threat of losing their livelihoods and future due to the Chan Sect's influence solely because he chose to love the wrong person, Nezha disowns himself, sparing his family from the Chan Sect's threats of blacklisting both his parents and brothers from the entire legal industry and tarnishing their good name. He also disbands his gang, before running away to the only person who he could possibly turn to in a time where he had no one left, and no place to go.

Damning himself to a life of danger and crime, Nezha becomes Ao Bing's right hand, and joins the ranks of the Loong crime family.

@luzon-dove happy birthday, Quinn!! As a present, I decided to draw a piece fanart of your "blood in the walls of the yagami house" AU fic series, since I found it very well-written and full of super interesting ideas and concepts. I hope you like it!

TDP headcanon:

Ok so I saw someone... @adashulaz , I think? Say that Opeli and Lissa look similar, and it gave me an idea:

Opeli and Lissa are either sisters or closely related, which is why Opeli hates Viren so much. She knows what happened between them and why their marriage ended, but as a cleric and someone on the council, she can't really share her true feelings, so instead, she's just sort of passive-agressive to him like we see in the show

I love the FNAF movie vanny concept so much,,

something something, Damian Wayne, something something removing himself from the life that his family has chosen something something Batman dies and the city implodes on itself like a neutron star, and the black hole swallows them down because they let it and when the dust clears he's standing on the edge with his grief and anger and all their stories on his back

Something something imagine not being a cog in the machine something something imagine if that's why it collapses imagine if that's why you're saved

I keep trying to write another post occasioned by my digging through books on white Evangelical/Fundamentalist Christian culture but it just sounds silly because I have to use the goofy-ass language they used to talk about it because that's how it was taught to me. Like if I type it out it sounds completely trivial and nonsense. I feel like, most people in the USA feel that they have a grip on this type of Christian Jargon because literally these people have been in some of the highest offices in the land for decades, and like, that's not untrue, but there's a) the way they talk now isn't the way they talked in the years I was growing up; there's been shift, b) I think it's true that many many many people outside this group do have some sense of it but there's still a lot of nuance I think is missing is you weren't raised in it, and c) the Evangelical/Fundamentalist movement is extremely fragmented and theologically diverse so what I grew up with many not apply to many other people. And I think that's one of the things that is alienating about it, and why I'm struggling to sort of shake some of the baggage, because I can't really talk about it! I could only talk about it and be understood with someone who was there. But I don't talk much to people who were there and certainly not about this.

the thing about skirata induced daddy issues is that implying their existence isnt even a dunk on kal skirata. it's impossible for kal skirata to occupy a healthy place in nulls' psyche as a father because kal isnt just their father he's used to being their everything and theyre used to it too

If we do get a new Hunger Games book i would really be interested in a victor from 1/2, especially Cashmere and Gloss- careers raised to believe that they are the 'favoured' better district, even when the Capitol still hates them for being district- being trained all your life for the Hunger Games, winning it, and then finding out how the Capitol truly treats Victors, and then realising your little sister is going to volunteer to copy you too.
