A very little something I wrote when I was feeling sad. Possibly pre-slash, around 150 words

Eddie becomes a plant dad, and he introduces Steve to all his babies. There’s Tree Beard and Quickbeam and Leaflock and Beechbone and Skinbark—

“And this,” he says, gesturing proudly to a pot with long crinkly leaves bursting out of it, “is Robert.”

Steve blinks. “Robert?”

“Yeah.”

“How come all the others get weird names—”

“They’re named after Ents.” Eddie pauses. “Well, except for Smaug, the dragon tree.”

“And this one is Robert?”

“Because he’s a plant.”

“Yeah, I can see that.”

“No, like… Robert Plant.”

Cue a blank look from Steve.

“Led Zeppelin!”

“Oh. Right.” Steve huffs. “Cute.”

“I thought so.”

“You’re such a dork.”

“But you think I’m cute.”

“I didn’t—” Steve’s face heats. “Whatever.” He crosses his arms and nods at the plant. “Just— Tell me about Robert.”

Eddie grins, but he starts talking, telling Steve all about Robert, things Steve will maybe only half remember, hands gesturing wildly, and Steve gets lost in the daydream of a house filled with plants, and Eddie there to tell him all about them.

I WENT TO MY FURRY GROUP MEET TODAY AND ACQUIRED MY FIRST EVER PAW PATROL MERCH I'M SO HAPPY THE TRUCK IS BIGGER THAN I EXPECTED IT TO BE AND PRETTY WELL DETAILED IT WAS SO WORTH IT

They didn't have Zuma nor Marshall... I was planning to buy one now and the other two on my next pay. Guess I'll still buy the other two later, but online, as they don't have them here at this mall. Maybe I could check the other malls in the city but aaaaaaa I'm lazy MAYBE, WE'LL SEE

so, halfway through my shift today, I learned that it was a beloved coworker’s 20th birthday (she’s a wee baby). I also learned that she was spending it writing an exam in the morning and then working 2:30-10, which is kind of not a super fun way to spend a birthday, if we’re being honest.

however.

I have been learning to crochet.

Facebook quickly figured out I’ve been learning to crochet, and keeps showing me posts from crochet groups. One of the most popular beginner amigurumi I keep seeing in these groups: a snake.

I thought it would be fun to try crocheting a snake.

I also happen to know that snakes are this coworker’s favourite animal, because in December I asked a bunch of people at work their favourite animals and made them little keychains featuring said animals as holiday gifts. (except for the one guy who thought I asked his favourite anime, and therefore received a jujutsu kaisen keychain, lmao.)

therefore,

I am crocheting a little baby snake for her.

it’s so cute already. I can’t wait to give it to her tomorrow

You know how the "Manchild" angle with N!Hector has no real basis in Hector's actual character, but there's this one manga line that *could* be taken entirely out of context, if we try to give them credit? That's how I feel about N!Juste and the "What on earth should I do with myself now...?" line from HoD's bad ending.

I feel like - trying to be as charitable as possible - they read that as meaning Juste would become entirely disaffected and checked out if his friends die. The first issue ofc is that they didn't actually adapt the bad ending - HoD requires Dracula's remains to have happened, and the bad ending is a result of Juste failing to understand Maxim, and having bad priorities. Not merely failing to stop a vampire in time because he wasn't strong enough. (In fact a significant portion of the impact comes from how Juste was strong enough, and that doesn't matter when it comes to what's important).

And the second issue, is that it ignores the rest of the context. Juste still has duty to carry on the Belmont line and train his successor, and, he's been set up as a dutiful man - again, that's part of the bad endings impact. That a bad end Juste was so focussed on his duty to defeating his enemies and complete his quest, he would miss that he was supposed to collect the remains, the differences between the two castles, and that there was still a way to get through to his friend.

This is why N!Juste's character still doesn't line up with game Juste, and feels so lazy(I mean. It was lazy. I think what actually happened is that they already wanted to write a stock Trevor 2.0 bitter sadman Juste to prop up their gutted Richter, and just saw this line as validating the idea). It's pretty clear to me that the line is actually meant to be anguish about how Juste just lost the two people who meant everything to him, not that he won't ever actually know what to do with himself. I maintain that a bad ending Juste would be more likely to throw himself even harder into his family role, since it's all he has left, and would have likely had a very direct hand on training his successors no matter which ending - which is already implied by the gameplay across series imo.

After spending so much time being lost in what I swear was the Shadow Realm at times, the package from @dani-luminae finally arrived! Side note: did not notice until now in first picture that Boots and Marmite photo bombed, was too excited to take a picture of the package after it arrived lol. But yeee, thank you so much, @dani-luminae ! Sadly despite our hopes, no Hiro and Baymax doorables in the academy ones (more stuff we don't have in the UK yet as latest doorables we got are the star wars ones lol), but did get Eeyore in the plush doorable surprise thing (another thing UK don't have)- tho getting the Hades doorable felt ironic for OC reasons in our convos. Plus my two boys are included so thank you so much! Aka Bumblebee and Donald Duck. Tho for some reason the marvel light up things was doubles city, aka two Thor's and two Black Widows lol- but another Frankie for the...honestly messy dolls collection because my room hasn't got a spot for dolls or alot rn lol- but thank you so much still! And steampunk dragon is also ironic due to our convos for AU Jim, Nova and Reese reasons lol.

What do think of a Milgram next generation au? Like an AU where the prisoners (excluding amane) have kids?

Ooh, what an interesting concept! I've never thought of that before (besides crying over Mahiru’s dream family she mentioned lol) so this was real fun to think about >:) I’m assuming the Milgram events all occur, but somehow everyone makes it out and tries to move on with their lives as best as they can. It'd be really cool story of all these kids meeting up and slowly uncovering their parents trauma/secrets...

For a lighter tone, it could be a very cute “kid detectives meeting up and making a little club to talk about mysteries of the past with their weird pet rabbit :)” But of course you could keep the darker canon tone, and have these ordinary children from wildly different walks of life discovering the bloody secrets that have haunted their family.

Either way, it'd be cool to set it up the same way we’re discovering the crimes: the children get pieces of information here and there as their parents let things slip, they check a story from an old news site, they catch details here and there from the locals. The group tries to put all the pieces together with limited snapshots and comments. There are no judgements -- it definitely leans into the mystery/story elements.

I'm sure their time in Milgram would drastically change the original prisoners, so some of their children would be shocked to find out what their parents were doing back in the day... I think a few of them would move far away, or want nothing to do with the others, so it takes their children a bit of digging to track down the other kids like them. Even if their parents are enemies, the children can all get close over their unique situation. I'm also a sucker for siblings who aren't close to find a better relationship through discovering the family secrets.

For an even darker tone, though, the original prisoners could have been wrongfully released or escaped back into the real world -- so years later, Milgram collects the children into the prison to judge them instead (sins of the father and all that). Instead of extracting mvs from them, the child and warden are forced to watch their parents’ videos and are interrogated about that. In this case, there'd be a weird dynamic in which they're learning to hate their parents (for the cruel things they did or for being the reason they're currently imprisoned) while also working really hard to defend them to the warden so that their family is forgiven. Similarly, there's an interesting relationship between them and the warden: these new prisoners criticize their decisions while also working together to solve the details of the parents' crimes.

I don't have a ton of specific headcanons on the cast, but a few roles in the group I can picture:

Kazui becomes much more honest after everything -- his children end up with leader roles because they have the most information on milgram/his crime.

Alongside them, Kotoko's kid would take after her mannerisms and become a leader as well. Out of Fuuta, Mahiru, and Mikoto's kids, half of them don't mind their parents' conflicts, while the other half act like they should carry on that legacy. I don't think Kotoko's kid themself feels the need to carry on her work, but will definitely defend her actions no matter what.

Shidou’s child would be put in a really weird spot, hearing how much he mourned those that came before. Feeling like a replacement, or not living up to the idea of his previous family, they act just as melancholy as him. Yuno's child also has a strange survivors guilt sort of thing going on.

In a normal-world setting, Fuuta's kid is the one to track the others down and get in touch with them. (But they're just as hotheaded as he was at that age, so another member has to do the actual recruiting lol)

Mahiru tries to move on from the events of Milgram, so her child is the most shocked that their mother was involved in a death and trial like this.

I think there'd be a solid mix of kids who are exactly like their parents, and the complete opposite. I like the idea of Haruka’s kid becoming the friendly, talkative one who really brings the group together <3

woke up this morning and i was like huh how much of the story would it change if in playmaker au obi-wan wasn't an undercover detective but a journalist who goes undercover both to get a story and then also because his father, police chief, asks him to help because anakin would never see them putting a journalist on the case 👀

I don't feel like coloring so please accept this, it's messy but I like it well enough

that moment when your usurper doesn't spare you and you suddenly wake up 1000 years ago and think it's purgatory but then you get your kits and decide fuck it last time didn't work out so this time i'll just be a dad, purgatory or not (spoiler alert it's not purgatory)

[babacontainsmultitudes]

[just venting a bit into the void you understand you understand 😌] Lately I've been feeling very caught between "I have a lot of thoughts on Sparrow and Normal and all that with the ending and teen talk and feel like I need to get them out and voice them for my own piece of mind and resolution" and "I am lacking the strength and energy to actually sit down and write it all out and kind of really just want to fully move on to other things (AUs, fics, anything else)" but my brain can't seem to commit to either and that's quite frustrating cause it's just left me very restless. *Sigh*. Idk! Just needed to complain about that a bit ig, it's silly but this is what has been ailing me as of late.

[adrift-in-thyme]

What’s your favourite piece of writing by yourself? :)

I’m fond of Blood Moon. It was my first time writing Time’s POV as well as my first time trying to capture he and Twilight’s dynamic. I also think it was only my third LU fic?? And it was really just a kind of therapy fic to get myself through some major anxiety I was having. But it seemed to touch people and then @kikker-oma made some amazing fanart for it and well, I can’t help but be proud of it now. Plus, it did actually end up helping me mentally that day and now I go back and reread it whenever I’m having a hard time

[ichthyorelationships]

ideas: i didn't really think of him being underwater but they deserve to have drama by crying there too so i just think you could say something about the composition being denser than water or w/e. proteins

i'm always like good thing he didn't try to exit asap via swimming in ciao alberto But What If He Did lol. just swim Somewhere else along the coast, maybe panic about [money??] & whether somehow this ruins school for luca, whether he can get in touch w/o it being On Sight b/w him & all marcovaldos, consider just kind of trying out other places, traveling after all...fascinating considering the other povs on the issue like: now there's the paguros to sympathize w/a kid vanishing, luca however in a somewhat more novel position there, giulia's throwback to alberto being a bit perplexing lmao, kind of thinking the best massimo could do is have a prewritten letter for luca to give to alberto If Possible, conveying something like i know you didn't set my livelihood on fire on purpose but even if you did i'd want you to stay. and luca in a position to do all of "maybe give the island fun facts so someone can check if he's there" & "wait & hope alberto can/does get in touch" & "have a lot of feelings"....not even the context of what this drawing is about necessarily, just tacking it on here anyways. ahead of time i went "heh now i Know they're gonna have it get little Real here b/c it's really about alberto wanting the security of feeling he can 'earn' a sustained relationship" then the short cleared & i was lying completely dead on the pavement
