#baby una

[emonydeborah]

@justreckin made me think of young Una and the young Clark Kent parallels drew themselves

Our favorite regal Amazonian was once a lanky, awkward teenager. We know her homeworld wasn't built for her superstrength, but her house probably was. At least when she was little. Baby girl must have had a couple reinforced teething toys. And from then on she would have been taught always to hold back. Never even enter a situation where your abilities could be revealed.

But then she went to the Academy. She's here to start over, and let go of her past, and, unfortunately, do some physical training.

Una has never worked out with humans. She may not have ever worked out period; team sports probably weren't an option. AND FROM HERE comes a list of shenanigans:

After a two mile jog with her class, Una is not sore. Maybe if they had gone faster and longer, it would have taken a little effort. "Don't you ever sweat?" someone pants incredulously. Una looks at her classmates in varying states of exhaustion and drops to the ground. "My muscles," she groans. "Ow."

She is clearly not from Earth or a colony with strong ties to Earth. She doesn't get references and misses jokes. Some people are nice about it (like the equivalent of shouting BILL BILL BILL if your new friend mentions they've never seen Bill Nye the Science Guy). Others are not. Some jerk tries to jumpscare her and she freaks and "misses" when she punches at her target. jerk laughs and walks away. Una is covering a hole in the wall, conveniently the size of her fist.

Una smacks her computer when it isn't working and rips it off the wall. After a moment to panic, she walks away and claims no knowledge of the incident.

Team building exercises are awful the first few semester. Tug of war and running a log up a hill and the like. Una can just stand and hold the rope and not budge.

Once she learns "normal" human limits, though, those exercises are fun. Her team almost always wins.

One of her friends accidentally takes a bite of her doctored up dinner and spends the night rolling around in pain. "...I like things spicy." "Spicy? That was acidic! That burned off a layer of my esophagus!"

they are required to participate in a sport each semester. Track is best, once Una learns how to look like she's in pain. She's consistently second or third, despite the coach's firm belief that she could do better.

Wrestling and martial arts are the worst. They learn martial arts all through the Academy, and Una has to apologize for several bruises and a few broken bones. One guy is dumb enough to make her angry before fighting her. He's in the infirmary for a week. Una manages to pass it off as a slippery floor.

Baseball isn't quite dead, and it's another learning curve to find out that humans cannot, in fact, hit the ball out of the stadium nine times out of ten. Una breaks a few bats and has a terrible time hiding them.

she bends a few utensils, and those are fun to hide, too.

Una opens a hatch in a training simulation, and a full inspection is done on the hatch to find out how it got so loose.

Una flicks a pebble and breaks a window.

she's struggling with a fitted sheet and it straight up. disintegrates.

Una gets frustrated with a glitchy door panel and Pelia gets a completely hypothetical question about how to fix door panels.

(also, if Una really was this awkward, Pelia definitely knew her secret. She does not care. She thinks it's funny.)

if we want to get angsty, there's an accident. No one should have survived the explosion, least of all Cadet Chin Riley, who threw herself over the exploding comm panel and suffered horrific burns. The other cadets remember someone carrying them out. they couldn't see who. There's no way it was Una, who was found several yards away, where the explosion threw her.

Una is still Una, and it doesn't take her long to adapt and master herself. But for the first few semesters, I can picture awkward Una breaking things.

Hi!

When the girls see either Mario or Peach they get very excited. If Nettarina was awake, she'd be excited too and urging Peach to hurry up. Also, imagine that 'babies!' like the one Mario says in the Mario and Luigi game with their babies selves sjsj

Also, Mario's that kind of parent that says they'll get the baby to sleep but falls asleep himself first. Peach always comes back to check on them and sees him and Nettarina (who can fall asleep anywhere) deeply asleep while Mariella's somewhere in the bed playing with his cap or babbling to herself (then she gets overtired from not sleeping and cries a lot, so Mario and Peach have to apply all the tricks to get her to fall asleep).

Also also, the socks they're using were crocheted by Peach [and she handed them as a gift to Mario on their baby shower- and she learned to crotchet just to make them clothes :'''v Anyways, I have a post for that too askjdasjd during that same baby shower, the babies get so much stuff from Peach that is unwrapped by Mario. He finds it kinda funny bc not only Peach's the expecting mom too, but she had been showing him all the stuff she has been doing for the baby shower (like showing how the little socks are turning out, or the toys she bought), and yet she wrapped everything for him to open]

it kills me how Una doesn't really get her 'happily ever after' - all the other rainbow valley crowd, after a childhood seeded in misery and grief from the loss of their mother (and a neglectful father) get their own families and partners from what we know of their stories. Una doesn't, and what makes this particularly tragic for me is that Una imo would be the person who wanted it the most. She wanted to stay in the glen, and of anyone, I feel like she would be the one most interested in having a family. There's not so much as a hint of that for her; in fact, TBAQ confirms that years later, she's still "keeping the faith."

20 Headcanons I have about Chris/Una/La’an as a family in an Earth AU

Chris is Girl!Dad

Una is Mommy

La’an is baby girl

1. La’an still loses her family and Una still rescues her, but Una begs Chris for them to adopt her and he agrees in an instant.

2. That first night they put La’an to bed together. Una wakes up in the night in a panic. Something feels wrong #MomInstincts. She goes to check on La’an and she’s silently crying and terrified in the corner of the room, but making no sound. Una picks her up, wipes her tears and cuddles her. Takes La’an back to her and Chris’ bed.

3. Toddler!La’an likes to spread Eagle across the bed. Una and Chris often wake up in the middle of the night to a little fist or leg in their face. Without a word to Una, Chris gets them a bigger bed.

4. Toddler/Young girl La’an is a thumb sucker

5. Chris gets addicted to Kids TV, he has lots of thoughts on Bluey, Peppa and Dora. Una is confused. La’an finds those shows boring but watches them anyway because it makes her Daddy happy.

6. All throughout elementary school La’an goes to school with immaculately braided hair. This gets the attention of the other school Moms, and soon Una has an unofficial role at birthday parties to make sure everybody has ‘princess hair’

7. When Una is on a work trip or otherwise unavailable Chris braids La’an’s hair. He’s pretty decent.

8. Una gets jealous when the other school moms flirt with Chris. Chris makes it up to her when they’re alone.

9. When La’an gets bullied for her being a Noonien-Singh Una sees red and definitely threatens the principle, Chris uses his dimples to smooth things over.

10. Chris as stay at home dad(?) making pancakes for breakfast every morning.

11. When La’an is sick Chris makes her the best home-made soup and they sit on the couch and La’an cuddles in Chris’ lap.

12. Chris is the most excited of the three to go to Disneyland. He begged Una for months for them all to go visit.

13. He carries La’an on his shoulders and points out all of the Disney Princesses correctly for La’an to see.

14. Chris most definitely wears Minnie Mouse ears, the entire time. Una has to remind him to take them off when he goes to shower.

15. He also ends up on the DilfsofDisneyland Instagram page (this is a real thing)

16. La’an makes Chris this absolutely hideous T-shirt at school that says “Galaxy’s best Dad” but he loves it and wears it absolutely everywhere for a week…until Una conveniently shrinks it in the wash. They stick it on a teddy bear instead.

17. Teenage La’an and Chris share a bond of watching sports games together on the couch. Una doesn’t understand.

18. Chris AND Una both coach La’an’s sports team.

19. La’an and Una head butt a lot in La’an’s teenage years. Chris looks on in fond amusement over how similar the two are.

20. Chris and Una dropping La’an off at college/the academy. Both Una and Chris cry…a lot, and La’an tells them not to be so dramatic. “But you’re our baby girl!” Replies both Chris and Una through the tears. La’an rolls her eyes but lets them hug her tightly anyway.

Bueno pero si volvemos al menemismo y al neoliberalismo fracasado quiero la experiencia a full eh? 90s a todo trapo. Nada de esta mierda twittera. Pizza y champagne, quiero a los políticos con modelos en pelotas, quiero a Milei en un lamborghini, quiero la farandulización total de la sociedad, quiero el tilinguismo trucho de creernos millonarios mientras se chupan nuestra sangre, quiero que vengan marcas de mierda y que aplaudan como focas, quiero sumergirme totalmente en la mentira capitalista hasta que explote todo, quiero superficialismo y apolítica en favor del consumismo, quiero vivir el final de la historia, quiero pizza birra y faso, quiero vivir en el set de Videomatch con el Oso Arturo

quiero vivir en un video de vaporwave, eso es lo que quiero

In the dusk

Sólo voy a destacar dos cositas porque no duermo tranquila si no se lo restriego en la cara a todos los que pueda

es el mismo vibe que

Y YO SÉ QUE NO IMPORTA LO QUE POSTEE DARIO, YO IGUAL LEERÉ ESTA ESCENA

Y lo otro que quiero destacar es que ya. Ya lo dijo. Lo dijo y no miraré atrás, no importa lo que diga mi feminismo PORQUE PODRÉ ESTARME DECONSTRUYENDO YO PERO CECILIA TODAVÍA TIENE MISOGINIA INTERNALIZADA QUE TRATAR ¿OK?

Y así, sin vergüenza ni remordimientos, espero la cara que pondrá Dario porque ahora sí que Cecilia cruzó el límite unapologetic

November fluff prompt 24 : antidote

"I got it!" Una dashed through the ruins and skidded to a halt in front of Christine. "I got it- Uhura says this one is labeled as the cure."

Christine snatched the bottle away and ran her tricorder over it, mouth tight with urgency. In front of her, on the softest patch of dirt they could find, La'an was deathly pale and far too still.

"It isn't toxic, at least," Christine muttered, and drew the solution into a hypospray. "It can't hurt."

She injected it into La'an's neck, and Una's throat tightened as the seconds dragged on without a reaction.

La'an twitched, groaned, and Christine scanned her. The deep furrow in her brow faded as she examined the results, and she let out a relieved sigh. Una collapsed back onto a rock and buried her face in her hands. It took several seconds for her heart to slow.

"Mum?" La'an croaked, and Una's head shot up. Christine shuffled out of the way, continuing her scans from a less obtrusive angle, and Una darted to La'an's side.

"I'm here, baby." Una smoothed La'an's hair off her face and kissed her forehead. "You're okay now."

So another fun Star Swap Thought for Joseph

The Baby Face fight :)

And honestly...... I don't think Joseph's going to win this one for one big reason

When Baby Face steals his voice...... it's probably going to fuck with his breathing. There being a massive hole in his neck is going to throw it off, probably making it uneven, and for Hamon Users controlled steady breathing is essential. And that's not even mentioning the fact that Joseph still is pretty iffy with Hermit Purple right now. Maybe he'll be able to see some stuff, but without Hamon or backup he's essentially doing this fight blind

but this isn't going to be the end. Because this time the others are going to realize something's wrong. Why?

Aerosmith

Ever since they first met, Joseph's breathing has always been different from most of the other blips on the radar, even when he was asleep. So when Narancia's scouting for enemies and suddenly notices Joseph's breathing change for the first time since they'd met? Yeah it gets his attention

So the team swoops in for the rescue...... and also start freaking out because they know Joseph has a healing ability, so why isn't he using it??? I'd imagine Trish would probably be the one who has to help out, maybe managing to send over just enough Hamon to heal over the hole in his throat to get his breathing back on track so he can fix the rest

But before that...... god can you imagine how awful this is going to be for Joseph. After all, the last time he'd been at the mercy of an enemy and unable to breathe correctly had been when the Pillarmen put the rings on him. Breathing is everything, so that moment where there was the risk of the damage being unfixable? That the one reliable way he could protect himself and others got stolen??? Yeah it's going to shake him up a bit. And then throwing in the fact he was essentially helpless and had to be saved, he's not going to be in the best of moods

and what if when one of the gang ends up asking him why he didn't just heal, he finally explains Hamon a bit more, and more specifically "A Hamon User who can't breathe is a Hamon User who gets killed."
