#but he's a little baby

[legendarybelmont]

In all his life, Cecil has never seen anyone so completely and utterly perfect.

This is not, quite, the thought he has when he looks at his wife. She's beautiful, she's wonderful, even pale and trembling with exhaustion, hair plastered to her with sweat; but no, his attentions are reserved for one person and one person only, and that person is the tiny, infinitesimal bundle cradled in Rosa's arms.

"Our son," he breathes, for what certainly isn't the first time this afternoon. Surely he's been repeating himself, over and over again, for Rosa takes one look at him and starts chuckling under her breath. Then the baby squirms, and he is once again enraptured, ignorant to the world. Because she is a wondrous creature, Rosa musters up the effort to pass the wiggly little infant over to him.

Having long been cleaned up, not by any wetnurse but rather by Cecil himself, with the utmost care, the baby - their baby, his baby - is a glorious, pink being. Small, so small, and so chubby, so strangely proportioned; a scrunched little face, with a squashed nose and a tiny mouth, a *red* mouth - and the baby is pink because his blood is red, of course, so stark against Cecil's own blue-pale skin. Like his mother, and there is even the faint suggestion of downy blond hair speckling his head. Cecil has never seen anyone so flawless.

"Ceodore," Cecil mumbles, gaze locked onto the way the baby flexes his little, wrinkled hands. Unthinkingly, he holds out his own hand, aiming to brush over the baby's cheek, and is caught completely and utterly off-guard when that smaller hand clings onto his finger and holds.

Cecil moves his lips, finding them to be terribly chapped. "I think," he says, vaguely, still staring at his son, "that I will die here today."

Rosa chuckles again. She still sounds somewhat out of breath. The labour had been difficult for her, he thinks. Arduous. It had lasted quite a while. Cid had thought him calm; Cecil had thought himself sick with worry. Of course, it was impossible that any complications would arise. It had to have been impossible, or else he'd have lost his mind right then and there. As it stands, he thinks he'll lose his mind this very second, along with the rest of himself, watching his newborn son be, inarguably, the most adorable baby he has ever seen. Yang would probably disagree with him, but Cecil knows he's right. "And why is that?" Rosa prompts him, distractingly. He pauses to remember what he had said.

"I am going to have a heart attack," Cecil settles on. "Induced by the degree of ... joy, that I am feeling." He can hear his voice, and its as even as its ever been. Clearly, Rosa also thinks this, for she titters.

"Will I be getting him back anytime soon?" Rosa asks. Cecil raises his head to look at her. She's lounging, reclined on the opulence of their bed. She looks more exhausted than he can ever imagine being, and she's radiant. His eyes are once again pulled back to look at Ceodore, having fallen into a fast slumber, still clutching onto his father's finger.

"No," Cecil says. This time, Rosa's laugh is full and throaty.

"STANLEY WITH BABY FORD ON THE OTHER HAND" (from tags)

Noodles? What are you planning to do to us? Should I get a dust pan to sweep my heart off the floor now?

There’s something extremely heartbreaking about Nicos cameo/first words in the show being him looking for Bianca. He’s always going to be the little boy looking for his big sister. Season three is going to be the end of me.

[a-dumb-sarcastic-bisexual]

Like the majority of society I’m obsessed with Nimona

And I rewatched it a million times and one thing always sticks out to me 

There are moments when Ambrosius is surrounded by light like a little protective bubble 

That keeps him away from the man he loves more than anything

parenthood was not on my 2024 bingo card but clearly life is full of surprises

Everyone thinks that dick was the golden child when in reality it was Jason.

Clark: Bruce who was your favourite robin?

Dick: obviously it’s me?

Tim: it’s dick

Damian: I am superior robin, it will be me.

Bruce: it’s Jason

Everyone: WHAT?!?!???

Bruce: why are you so surprised? He didn’t jump on too my chandeliers which I had to replace each week

*everyone looks at dick*

Bruce: he didn’t drop out of school

*everyone looks at tim*

Bruce: I didn’t have to stop him from killing everyone who annoyed him

*everyone looks at Damian*

Bruce: in fact, he enjoyed school and handed all his homework in on time, we would spend hours in the library reading his favourite classics. He even helped Alfred with most of the cooking, He was my little boy

Jason: stop spreading lies, I hate you go away

Bruce: my precious little boy

hmmm deaged duke thomas REFUSING to let batman nightwing or red hood near him because when duke was a kid batman had just lost robin and was super violent on the streets, nightwing was in blud so duke wouldnt really know him and red hood has guns??? what??

and duke (this is the kid who reads people flawlessly and also trained to beat the riddler from an young age) is evading capture at every turn. his powers are erratic and hes starting to get scared, the manor will not let him out, and where are his parents-

when suddenly there he is. duke thomas’s robin, and his most trusted protector, tim drake.

just more of duke thomas with the tropes the other brothers get hit with all the time, and also more of tim being dukes robin please!!!

Marcille really likes taking care of others. It kind of fits her partial role as a healer

It really shows with Falin and Chilchuck, but it gets a bit awkward when she tries to dote on them despite being the same age or older than her relevant to how their races age

But with Izutsumi she really is younger than her and Marcille practically adopted her as her little sister the minute she joined their party!
