I see your old man Tech. And I raise you, Tech and Phee together.

Ohhh challenge accepted! They’re just having a nice relaxing afternoon on Pabu enjoying the sun and being alive and happy and old together. Perhaps they just got back from an adventure?

[iliothermia]

Will you ever make kippot again?

Yes :) I'm currently working on making some entirely on my own now that I have my own embroidery machine. I'm hoping to try experimenting some with my old kimono fabrics I've been repurposing (colorful silks) and after getting the hang of things then focus on building a large batch once I settle on a new design

Hey if you're still in your food crimes era id like to suggest something I want to try, but alas my college dorm is not equipped with an oven.

Gatorade bread.

Or really any beverage since bread is essentially just flour yeast and liquid. I'd be interested to see what you can come up with considering the various horrific alcohols and the way you predicted Stardew 1.6 in the worst way possible

Woke up, opened my phone, and saw this after a horrible nights sleep… ya know I think the day is gonna be a good one.

My personal favorite bread recipe to use is the No Knead Bread by The NY Times. It takes a day or so but the bread it makes is basically pseudo sourdough. It’s delicious and I’ve made countless bread bowls from it.

You know what? Fuck it. The time is worth it.

The real question is what type of Gatorade do I use?

To Arisa : How are you liking being an aunt? Congratulations by the way :D

And, the second one for this ask >:)

"Does he know about the baby?"

Tech frowned, eyes tracking Crosshair as he made his way down the crushed shell and rock path that lead up from the main lane to Tech and Phee's small home. "I believe so."

"You believe so?" Phee rubbed at her eyes. She'd just come out of the bedroom from an impromptu nap, one of the many signs of the impending Situation. "You mean you didn't tell him?"

Tech played back the conversation he'd just had with his brother. "It didn't come up. But I'm sure Hunter has related it to them."

Phee arched an eyebrow. "You think Hunter is gonna break that news to your brothers."

It was a fair question. And in reality if Hunter did tell them, it would no doubt be on accident. So Tech really did need to tell them.

"I'll tell them tomorrow," he said, moving into the kitchen. "Did you need anything to drink or eat?"

"Some juice, please. I don't think I can handle anything else." Phee moved into the living room and sat down. "Doesn't have to be on a specific day. But you gotta tell them sooner or later."

Later did, in fact, turn out to be sooner, as not two hours had passed before Crosshair appeared at the door. The moment Tech opened it, he said, "Pregnant?" through gritted teeth. Fortunately, Phee had gone into the back room to nap again.

"No, I am not," Tech said. "Phee is." Crosshasir looked close to tackling him, so Tech continued, "I take it Hunter said something."

"Yes, he did. So why does he get to know and we don't?"

Tech told himself to be patient, that Crosshair had always been irritated at finding things out after others. "I didn't tell him first, he noticed first."

"Noticed," Crosshair repeated, eyes narrowing.

"Yes."

"You mean he could," Crosshair made a face, "hear it."

"Or detect the temperature change in her body. This is also how I knew."

Anger became confusion tinged with surprise. "…you measure her body temperature?"

"Just out of curiosity. We've not known many natural born humans for long periods of time and--"

Crosshair held up a hand. "No, no. Stop explaining, you're just making it worse."

World Tour Assistant Noah AU (where he is always an assistant):

Alejandro: Mi Amor, perhaps before I do this challenge, you'd like to kiss me for luck.

Noah: Trust me Eel, it will take a lot more then luck to win the million dollars.

Alejandro: [kissing Noah's hand] I know.~ 💚

Anon this is very cute and I love the idea of this scenario, but the only reaction I can see assistant Noah having to anyone- especially Alejandro- kissing his hand is just pure disgruntlement. He's already so done with everything due to being overworked (and having to deal with Chris' brand of tomfoolery), so he wouldn't even try to entertain Alejandro's antics.

Alejandro would lean down to kiss his hand thinking he's being suave and flirtatious and Noah would just pin him with the most disgusted look possible. It'd be awkward for everyone involved.

Heeyyy so sorry if this has been asked before buuuttttt.. What are ur thoughts on the sand siblings?

this made me realize i didnt include their rs in the chart i posted REST ASSURED I LOVE THEM. anyway hehehe :3

a lot of my takes on them are headcanon-based (like even more than the hyugas id say) But i assume thats what people r here for anyway. Sooooo

i really like the suna siblings bc their relationship pre-chunin exams is very, like… dysfunctional, but at the same time stable? temari and kankuro are obviously afraid of their brother, and gaara is deeply unhappy around them, but they've all clearly found a "safe" position to exist in yk?

my read on those positions is that temari actually feels more conflicted about gaara than you would think — she's the oldest and therefore the one most aware of how 'wrong' their family is — but she puts her and kankuro's safety first, therefore she resorts to appeasing gaara and generally staying out of his way. kankuro is more of a show-off and while he is afraid of gaara, it's in a more grounded way, if that makes sense? he taunts him like one might taunt an angry dog, he's afraid of him because of what he can do, vs temari who dreads being around him because she's aware of what gaara carries on his shoulders and Represents

i actually 👉👈 have a suna family-centered fic i've been slowly working on 👉👈 that ive been too shy to mention on main LMAO but since we are on topic here u go [link]. it's yashamaru-focused (my WIFE) but it brushes upon the entire family :3 it'll be slow to update since i've been busy with things but if u don't mind that. i mention it here since i use the extrapolations im mentioning here to write it….

aaaanyway. the kids' relationship with rasa isn't very defined (esp for kankuro and temari) but i interpret their situation as the classic… yk, father lost his soul after the mother died sort of thing. it's a bit cliche but it makes sense LOL while the only kid we know for sure rasa was cruel towards is gaara i don't find it a stretch to expand it towards the other two, even if it wasn't as extreme.

so, with that in mind: my personal interpretation is that temari — in addition to getting the usual heir responsibilities — got put into a caretaker role for kankuro, pushing her towards cynicism and self-preservation above all else (she's also the one most likely to remember their mom, and an early loss like that can push one into hyper-independence), while kankuro was left with a bit less pressure but as a tradeoff grew hungry for acknowledgement, eventually feeding into him becoming a bit of a bully as he gets older. i think he was the one with the most... "normal" relationship with their father, but i wouldn't necessarily say that's a good thing lol

gaara is in a unique position because he was not fully raised by rasa, and his relationship with him is a lot more shallow and extreme as a result. instead gaara ended up being built into who he is almost exclusively through yashamaru's kindness and subsequent betrayal — and this is only accentuated imo by the fact that gaara does not (iirc?) at any point willingly bring up yashamaru. he badmouths his father and blames him for who he is, but the formative moments of gaara's childhood that we see are of him with his uncle. isn't that interesting? to me it reads like that's still a wound so deep he can't even bear to acknowledge it; rasa treats him like a monster so gaara is free to spit poison back at him in return, but gaara did wholeheartedly believe his uncle loved him at a point, and the idea that he did not was so world-shattering that he can't even bring himself to acknowledge his existence

all that being said, gaara as we meet him in the exams treats his siblings like strangers and i can't fully blame him for that; while the compounded traumas of 1. losing their mother and 2. the shift in rasa's disposition, cannot be understated, i think what truly "broke" the siblings' dynamic is the way gaara was likely forced into kankuro and temari's lives after yashamaru died. while they'd certainly met before, there's a world of difference between knowing you have a distant, troubled younger brother vs having that brother violently placed into your home in his most vulnerable state after another familial loss.

(yashamaru's rs with his other niblings is never really touched upon but i do think about it often. he was so close to their mom i doubt they had no relationship at all! but that's. you know. what the fic i mentioned is for.)

it inherently puts the kids into an adversarial position, especially with how rasa doesn't try to argue for gaara's humanity. so gaara, freshly traumatized and distrusting, is met with siblings who are terrified of him and a father who he knows wants him dead. to make things worse, yashamaru (my king.) made sure to crush whatever goodwill gaara still had towards the world before he died, so there's no part of him willing to give anyone the benefit of the doubt. no one has any interest in fixing this situation so this is the dynamic they settle into.

yet! they are still family and there are certainly glimpses of that. one of my favorite moments is temari looking out for gaara for, in our pov, the first time

it's really simple but it always gets an emotion out of me, it's why i think their relationship bothered her the most… one of my biggest gripes with the suna siblings is honestly that we just don't get a lot of them after a point! i would have loved to see them getting closer after gaara takes the first step in closing the distance.

kazekage retrieval arc is easily one of my favorite arcs in naruto it's soooo sweet to see kankuro and temari fighting so so hard for their baby :( i really like the quiet moments where you can tell there's still a lot of guilt over how things were, i wish we got to sit with it a little more because part of the reason i like their bond so much is because of those moments of doubt, you know? i think it's far more powerful for gaara to wonder if he's been fully forgiven, for temari to grapple with the guilt of not having been a good sister to him, than for them to easily slip into a healthy and stable dynamic as a trio.

how do they feel about their father? their mother? how do they feel about their uncle? they are three different people with similar but not identical experiences with all of them, and it makes you wonder how they might navigate unpacking all of that while not jeopardizing their fledgling bond. for example i'm personally a huge fan of gaara coming to view his uncle in an imperfect but ultimately empathetic light, while his siblings see little reason to extend him so much grace.

their personalities in shippuden make a lot of sense to me taking their upbringings into account too; kankuro and temari are predominantly rasa's children, and therefore have rougher edges and are way more averse to earnest displays of affection. gaara meanwhile had yashamaru's influence in his formative years; he knows how to articulate his emotions and acknowledges the importance of sincerity and kindness. i dunno if this was intentional but i think it's a neat detail!

soo much of the suna family follows this pattern of love breeding resentment (rasa's love towards karura breeding resentment against gaara, yashamaru's love towards karura breeding resentment against gaara and rasa, gaara's love towards his uncle being twisted into hatred against the world, the siblings' love for each other being corrupted then saved) it's sooo. chef's kiss. again my only complaint is that we don't see more of them. literally who cares about konoha i want to be in suna forever

⭐️ BATCH REPLIES ⭐️

1. Thanks for sticking around even if you don’t play the game anymore! I think aside from the energy system , the slow long progression of the story especially after year 5 is just not worth booting the game up. If I had started the game earlier and played it as chapters got released then honestly I’d probably still be playing it. But I’m happy just drawing 😊. But the thought of someone referring to Chester as a DILF (yes I know I used it as a joke in the sound of music au) in-universe is so hilarious to me and that Francis might’ve initially overheard the term used by one of the teachers at his school 😅

2. Just imagining Chester being called into work at like 5AM like “hey man we’re kinda thin on the ground here at the ministry… kids like you, yeah? Mind coming in and helping us questions a death eaters kid?”

Fairy princess kid: did your daddy never hug you? What about your mummy? 😱

Chester: *eyebags somehow getting bigger* how about you let me ask the questions, alright? 😑

3. I’m not going to pretend I know a lot about the power rangers but Francis being a true 90s kid would’ve been all over it. 🥳

Putting aside the fact that Freyja would be like 10 years too old to be a Power Ranger… she’d probs be yellow or blue… idk 😶‍🌫️

[paperback-rascal]

If Padame hadn’t died and the Batch met the twins. How do you think that would have gone?

@gokyacetakal Clone Force 99 would definitely become Padme's personal bodyguards (regardless of her being in rebel alliance or just keeping a low profile). The twins would believe the four clones are their overprotective uncles.

Catering to @lonewolflupe

... I'm supposed to be working on Disgrace. My style isn't the greatest for quick sketches but I had to do this, lol.

[iliothermia]

I just wanted to say that fan you made is super durable and cool? It’s super hot here and it’s a lifesaver

Aah I'm so so glad you liked it!!! I actually take mine with me to the airport every time, I get very anxious getting to my gate and then I always overheat 💀 They're probably the most useful things in daily life I've ever made I'm working on making new designs currently actually, so perfect timing to mention them

They are in the works right now! :) I'll be updating on them soon with actual pieces instead of edits hehe

[the-bi-space-ace]

Despite my mixed feelings and sadness over Echo’s more official departure from the bad batch him being in stark white armor has made me more convinced than ever before that this is a new start for him. He’s probably not getting his bad batch armor back which leaves the door open for him to either acquire new armor or (what I think might be less likely) hang up his blaster for good and bow out of the fight after the clones are freed from Tantiss. The white armor is something we haven’t seen on him in a long time and each time he appears he ends up on a path different than what he was originally on.

The dominos were close to being tossed aside, headed away from the fight, before they changed and pulled together in the end. On Rishi he was facing an assignment with little chance of ever seeing combat only to be attacked by the separatists and thrust into the fight, joining the 501st which eventually leads him to becoming an ARC trooper. His capture and torture lands him in the Techno Union’s hands where his life is altered forever, leading him to choose a life with the batch at the end of that episode arc.

Each time Echo’s path changes he adapts, he finds where he fits and he throws himself into it. Giving him new armor is a chance to change his path yet again. Because, as Hunter said, Echo’s path is different. It always has been.
