#Pity the Child

[pureanonofficial]

To be clear, I'm referring to the full song, not A Taste of Pity/Pity the Child # 1/whatever you want to call that short preprise.

Me: *In the midst of a Mental Health Moment*

Spotify: *plays Pity the Child*

Kept thinking what that “I couldn’t apologize to you because you could not forgive me” line reminded me of and it’s “Pity the child” from Chess: the musical

In general its a very c!Wilbur song in spirit. Though the later dad leaving part is more questionable

Nico referring to his mom as "Mama" implies he most likely at least used to refer to Hades as "Papa" and i 100% headcanon he still does but mostly in the manner of him having the entire Underworld wrapped around his finger for being the baby of the family

Do you think Billy Batson is allowed to enter Olympus???

Would Zeus vouch for him and let him in?

Is there a door in the Rock of Eternity that opens up to Olympus?

Just imagine. This small boy in a red sweater, walking into Olympus, surrounded by ethereal and immortal gods and goddesses, just to like, pick some nice flowers for his adopted mom on Mother's Day. Or, maybe he's having lunch with some gods or deities, like that one comic panel where Billy is eating ice cream on the moon with powerful mages/people.

Would Billy Batson share a pizza with Hades? Would he have lemonade with Hera? Would Billy invite Mary to have breakfast with Artemis and Apollo?

There are so many questions, and not enough time in the day to write a cute little domestic fic about Billy Batson and his adventures in Olympus.

they should invent a way to talk about childhood trauma that doesn't make you feel like you forfeit all your dignity and pride. what do you mean I was small so they did all that to me.

I giggled at this thought so have it as well

Sagau + legacy who tends to hijack Childe at his whims = playable abyss moth :D

oh goodness i was not in a good mood but this made me feel much better thank you

it's a glitch, it has to be a glitch, there's no other explanation for it! you've scoured the internet, watched countless videos, even uninstalled and reinstalled the game multiple times- but nothing could explain why, out of all characters, Foul Legacy had spontaneously become playable and was currently sitting in your party, exactly where your Childe should be. to his credit, he was INCREDIBLY strong, easily sweeping any bosses and enemies you met along the way, but the fact remains that he's not a playable character in the first place! you're worried that your game is being hacked in some way, but when nothing else happens for a few days, well... you can't deny that it was kind of fun to have a character no one else had, and you've always been fond of Childe's Foul Legacy form- you refuse to admit to spending at least half an hour just watching him on screen gushing about how cute he was (he even has his own idle animations!!)

on his end, in the digital world of Teyvat, Foul Legacy is absolutely thrilled that you haven't reacted too badly to his presence- he feared you would hate him for occasionally using Childe's place for himself- he always gives it back afterwards, he promises! Legacy works hard to destroy any enemies in your path, silently trilling in happiness whenever you compliment him. since he's not much in the way of words, he curls up into a comfy Abyss moth ball if you ever put him in your teapot instead of simply standing there, perking up and fluttering his wings when you approach him. and as he promised, he ALWAYS gives Childe back his body at the end of the day- the Harbinger's a little confused and disoriented, but you always greet him enthusiastically when you log in the next day, so he's not really complaining

AU where Ras was in the Wyldness when Wyldfyre's pod crashed for Unknown Reasons, and he found her before Heatwave, and decided to "adopt" her...

hey guys i think this is the funniest picture i have ever taken of my dog

[vaguely-concerned]

tain and garak are just the familial version of that 'babe/fellow associate' meme. the 'beloved father whose forgiveness I would do anything to obtain even knowing you'll never give it/this is elim he's a cherished colleague of long standing' situation here is. so grim fhsdkjafhsa

(not me thinking about julian's 'I forgive you. For whatever it is you did' and odo's 'garak, I was thinking that you and I should have breakfast sometime' and even parmak eventually forgives him vs. tain in this ep with deliberate cruelty going 'I can't forgive you for what you did, but I can try to forget'. the way he keeps making garak beg him for this one thing from him over and over just so he can deny him with incredible malicious precision every time.)

One of the best versions of Pity the Child.

Aren’t you a little big to be reading fairytales?

Emily really gave Alicent the saddest most wettest most pathetic lesbian eyes imaginable, and people still held no pity for that girl.

My Oberon Summon Experience, where I kicked him off the Border and he immediately came back in the first 10-pull, the first card

I know this is late (his banner ended like 2 days ago) but this was unbelievable(y funny to my 3 am sleep-deprived brain) so I drew it… and colored it…

Slight spoilers for the end of LB6 and his summon lines, but that can’t be helped :)

I like to think mash and habetrot just looked on like this
