I just needed to drop by and say that you drawing Artemy with the little > mouth is one of my favorite things and it makes my heart explode every time I see it.

I'M SO GLAD YOU NOTICED, I love this expression so much, it makes me laugh

Sometimes you can tell what he's thinking, but other times, I don't even know what it means....

bad convincing pomme to eat her cookies

[journey-to-the-attic]

YK ITS NO LONGER HALLOWEEN BUT!! ddvd luci, zhao, ik doing matching costumes like…think abt it. zhao and ik together can convince lucifer 100%. vampire family?! it works out until ik keeps gnawing on lucifer’s hand,, but yk i think ddvd luci would be very sad and sulky at ik growing up…js a bit when ik dosent need him as much anymore

“do you want to go get icecream? with the three flavors?”

“oh maybe later”

“o h okay”

5 minutes later

“luci it’s fine, she’s just a bit older now”

“IS IT??” as he looks like a sad old peacock man

it doesn't have to be halloween to think about matching costumes!!! love them being a vampire family... ik would be a little baby bat and zhao would hold her high up in the air so she can pretend she's flying and then lucifer would take them all for an ACTUAL flight (alternatively: they all go as dragons and lucifer almost burns down the hol because ik was so excited about him pretending to breathe fire with a spell)

i feel like they'd have a night-time routine that always involves little ik getting a story read to her, and the first night she says she doesn't want it lucifer stays awake for like four hours, staring at the ceiling silently until zhao distracts him with some of mammon's shenanigans

he is so so sad when ik first decides she doesn't want to get carried around anymore... he'll very subtly follow her as she goes about her Very Serious Kid Business, hoping she'll change her mind again - whenever she tires herself out enough to reach for him again, he's absolutely over the MOON and will be in a good mood for the rest of the week

(if anyone other than zhao points out that he's definitely sulking he'll glare at them and/or threaten to ground them. when zhao asks about it lucifer just looks at him with his equivalent of 🥺, which is basically just a frown, but different in a very subtle way that only zhao knows how to decipher)

To absolutely nobody's surprise, Reesie LOVES the puppies. Whenever they cry for milk, he gets all agitated and starts harassing me until I feed them... and then he likes to 'help' feed them (he watches, and if they start crawling toward him away from the bottle, it's Lick Time)

Since you're a TGCF stan I have to ask: Who's your favorite character?

the green one <3

[apenitentialprayer]

He wanted to know how she knew these things, with the bitter taste on his tongue of his own failure as a father he wondered that at her tender age she could have heard so much of the world's anger and pain and disappointment and tasted so little of its delight, when you have learned joy, he wanted to say, then only then will your gift be complete, but she knew so much already that it scared the words away and he did not dare to speak.

- Salman Rushdie (The Moor's Last Sigh, page 60)

Black fathers

[giraffeonstrike]

It's warm today, and cloudy. It rained a little and stopped, thinking about a round two. I had to bring my woodworking inside, and I'm building a wardrobe for my daughter like the one my papa made for my sisters.

I saw that wardrobe every day until I moved out and this one still won't be exactly the same. If he was still here, he would have built it...and it still would be different. It would still be useful, still be loved, but different.

This isn't about the wardrobe anymore is it?

I don't think my papa would like that he's become a shadow in my life sometimes. If he was here he'd tell me, like he did all the time: "be careful of what you're missing, Elias." I was born worried, focused on fixing, and he knew that. He knew I'd have to be reminded that there are things you'll be blind to if you stay wrapped up in your worries. You'll always find something to stress about if you're looking. Lately I've been thinking so much about how it's not possible to measure up to how truly amazing he was. How hard it will be to navigate being a father when mine isn't here to show me.

We never were the same though. What he had to do to make it work isn't remotely similar to the kind of situation I have going on. I'm blessed to have so much more stability, so much less to worry about, generally...and I'm realizing, finally, that I do have the same things that made my papa so wonderful.

He loved us more than anything in the world, and was willing to wake up every day and prove it. I never had any doubt that he would do absolutely anything for us. He left everything behind, his whole life, so we could have it better. My daughter isn't even born yet and I know that for the rest of my life she and her big brother own my ass...that I love them so much I can't even describe it.

So I'll finish this wardrobe eventually, and it won't be the same as Papa's but it will be loved...and so will I.

ARTIFICIAL

Mom and I made

piles of color coded

lengths of artificial

tree limbs in an organized

scatter creating

pathways; white, grey

black, green, yellow,

but where is the base?

Daddy, where

did you put it?

Somewhere secret with

the Lowe’s folder.

I thought a tree

would be a

tad garish, considering.

The past is gone

Father, you are forgiven. Daddy,

it’s 11:11,

look I’m

light on my feet again.

Headcanon that since Jason can’t go out with his family publicly, what he does instead is show up in random disguises.

Bruce is chatting up some socialites at a gala, talking about the joys of fatherhood and how rewarding it is. Meanwhile he made eye contact with Jason disguised as a waiter twenty minutes ago, and is currently trying to stop his eye from twitching.

Dick is speaking to a third grade class as a part of the Bludhaven Police department outreach program, except when he walks in Jason is sitting behind the teachers desk, playing the role of substitute.

Babs can’t help but stare when Jason hands her a coffee from behind the counter of her favorite coffee shop. (His name tag reads Peter, and for a second she thinks she’s actually lost it).

Tim walks into Wayne Towers one day and on his way in, he waves to his secretary- lo and behold Marjorie has been replaced by Jason. It takes him three hours to notice.

Cass walks into ballet class to discover her teacher had to take a sick day- his replacement is Jason in a beret who talks in a terrible French accent the entire class, only to drop it at the very end to talk in a thick New Jersey accent. Her entire class talks about it for weeks.

Stephanie hails a cab on her way home one night, only to find Jason driving. She’s not sure how he pulled it off or how he got a cab, but her mind is effectively blown.

Duke is on a school trip to the natural history museum, and when the tour guide introduces himself, Duke can’t help but role his eyes. Jason gives a surprisingly good tour, even throwing in some tidbits about a robbery that went down just last week that the Signal stopped.

Damian’s encounter happens when he’s with Jon in metropolis. He’s watching Jon play baseball, and when Jon steps up to bat, he can’t help but notice a the umpire looks a little familiar.
