Okay random thought but Alastor looks like the type of dad to turn into his demon form because his children find it funny for some reason
He totally fucking would, his wife would literally find him terrorizing people and think that someone attacked him or the children. Just total chaos, people screaming and running, Alastor laughing as he towers over everyone-
Only to see the kids being tossed around by his tentacles and squealing like they're on a rollercoaster 🎢 Then she just 🤦♀️ and goes back to whatever she was doing before
I like to think that it starts when they're babies and something happens where Alastor has to go into that form in order to protect them. He's all cradling them in his claws after the fight and everyone is expecting them to be terrified of their daddy's new look.
But instead, they just giggle and try to use him as a jungle gym. Then it continues because Alastor gets a kick out of it too, and his wife has to stop him because it causes too much damage.
To them it's like asking their dad for a piggyback ride but everyone else thinks that they're about to be eaten or what's even more likely, crushed.
This is literally their relationship after finding out the kids like Alastor's demon form-

I just saw one of your fave games is What remains of Edith Finch and I’m so happy! I feel like its a lesser known game but i loved playing through it. I’m so happy to know more than just my small friend group know about this game!
Sorry this isn’t a question. Also want to say that you’re art is amazing and the development of the designs is so interesting to see. Also the way you draw intimate scenes have so much emotion to them. I love the Aj and rarity kissing comic so much, you can just feel their love for each other ;w;
Thank you so much!
I highly, highly, highly recommend What Remains of Edith Finch to anyone interested in narrative game experiences/"walking simulators." It's one of those games that was handcrafted with nothing but love. Every room you explore is just... real. The way the light flows in and makes the colors of the living room, the kitchen, the bedrooms glow. Playing the game is like walking through your childhood home as an adult and seeing how the dust clings to everything you once touched. Also genius-level gameplay mechanics, ones that can make you completely empathetic with the character you're embodying or feel completely complacent in their tragedy. It's really not fair to call it a walking simulator because it's so much more and so much smarter than that.Everyone talks about the fish one.
The theme of death and memory and storytelling and the burden of invisible trauma and self-fulfilling prophecies is so affecting too. The ending made me cry.

Prompt 209
Now Jason was planning on, well, a lot of things, when he came back to Gotham. He had a lot of plans, several of which had to do with the old man and even more that had to do with cleaning up Crime Alley, making it safer and all that.
What he was not planning on was to find some sort of lab in the basement of where he was planning on setting up a safehouse. Nor was he planning on finding several literal children in cages inside said lab. Oh and Lazarus Waters- but children! With muzzles! Being experimented on!
Now he’d like to say he had a plan in what happened next, but if he’s honest everything had gone Green and he didn’t remember what happened next, only that he’s back home with said children and covered in blood. Oh and everything smells of smoke.
… And apparently there’s more of these things dotted around Crime Alley with the rest of these kids, er, siblings? Family? Fright does mean family? Okay kids, he’s not turning into Bruce but you can stay here while he deals with this… however long that takes.
He better not be turning into Bruce he swears-

AA: i believed the fragment was gibberish from a lunatic
AA: after completing his rampage through our session
I guess Gamzee’s rampage wasn’t a one-off, then. He’s turned to murder in other timelines, in what appear to be substantially different circumstances.
Is this LOPAH, or Alternia? Just how early can Gamzee snap?
Edit: She does say he rampaged through the troll session, so I'm assuming the former, given that Karkat was the first one to Enter.
AA: and discovered the text which the code was recorded in
AA: i decided to return to the alpha timeline with the text […]
AA: in the alpha timeline this text was destroyed
AA: in an explosion caused by a computer virus
AA: this explosion did not take place on my timeline
AA: i identified this event as the difference prompting the offshoot
Why would Karkat’s virus affect Gamzee, though? As far as I can tell, its only material effect was to kill the lusi, and I don't see why that'd cause him to snap.
...hmm. Let's see if we can work this out, actually.
OK. In this hypothetical timeline, Goatdad didn’t die at sea. He would have returned to Gamzee’s hive, and, ...potentially done something that caused him to snap early, I guess. But what?
It is still piping hot but you can't help yourself. You sneak a taste of the SOPOR SLIME PIE.
You aren't supposed to eat that slime. It does funny things to a troll's head.
But you were never taught that on account of a lousy upbringing. Your custodian was always out to sea.
...aww, man.
Gamzee was on the slime because Goatdad was an absent father. Maybe, in this world without the curse, Goatdad returned to his hive, decided to be a parent for once, and cut him off.
It fits extremely well, but I really don't want to dwell on the possibility. It would mean that this Gamzee became a killer because someone cared for him - and that his first victim was probably the old goat.
‘Hey, that’s a weird colour palette. Why did he....
...oh.’
This is.... I don't know what to call this. Gamzee took out all of his team's heavy hitters, completely solo. He killed Sollux, he killed Kanaya, he killed Vriska...
How? How is this guy so ridiculously fucking dangerous?
I see Snowman w-
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

i stand by that a better, more sensible, and more intriguing plot for TSATS would have been, instead of retconning literally everything:
Bob is dead (because he was very explicitly absorbed/killed by Tartarus Himself in House of Hades, alongside Damasen), and nobody is going into Tartarus to save him. He made his sacrifice and is gone. However. Remember how the Titans, including Bob, were just kind of kicking around for several years? Particularly. On a cruise ship full of mortals. And Bob happened to be kicking around in general for an extra year versus all the other Titans. And he mythologically sometimes has a mortal demigod son who partook in the Calydonian Boar Hunt (Dryas of Calydon). Yeah.
So turns out, Bob/Iapetus leaves behind a demigod (demititan?) child. And because Nico was pretty much his only friend, he named Nico his child's godfather. And while he's not being left in charge of the child, as a son of Hades and godfather to this kid, Nico is duty-bound to fulfill Bob's last will and go find this like 2 year old to make sure they're safe. So Nico has to undertake this very unusual quest (that raises many questions, such as "demititans are a thing?" and "DOES THIS MEAN THERE'S POTENTIALLY MORE-?!" and "SHOULD WE BE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS?") and is kind of freaking out because. He's the son of Hades! He's notoriously bad with living things, and animals, and definitely small children! Even if he does find this kid and assure they're safe, he is the last person who should be undergoing any kind of quest involving even potentially having to babysit. Fortunately, his boyfriend is the human embodiment of sunshine and calmness and good vibes, and also once helped a nymph give birth, so he feels Marginally More Confident in theoretical demititan babysitting and offers to come along on this Epic Journey of Figuring Out What In Hades' Name Is Up With This Demititan Baby Business.
Proceed with wholesome epic shenanigans quest of Nico and Will scurrying around trying to locate this random OP baby while Nico has an existential crisis about the nature of his powers because he doesn't want to let Bob down! Both for Hades Kid Honor Reasons and because Bob was his friend! But what if he's destined to fail this quest just because of who he is? Because he's simply not built for hanging out with the living/mortals? And Will reassuring him that He Will Probably Not Traumatize The Weird OP Titan Baby And It'll Be Fine, and simultaneously getting a peek into the weird other life Nico leads hanging out with immortals much more than the average demigod, which Nico considers his norm. Bonus shenanigans of both of them getting caught off-guard and culture shocked from where each other's respective worlds (Nico's mostly-immortal versus Will's mostly-mortal) cross over and learning to navigate those for each other - Nico finally starting to make some mortal connections and get glimpses at modern mortal American life, and Will trying not to get his brain literally incinerated while Nico's happily casually catching up with some of his old friends who happen to be literal gods.

genshin fandom are HEAVILY sleeping on audhd ajax childe tartaglia
(headcanons in the read more!)
i meaaaan;
stimming
- he likes making stuff out of water and fidgeting with them, especially if he's bored; spinning water weapons (like he does in one of his idle animations), making little water creatures (he probably makes them fight), mimicking things around him/in his mind out of water
- he messes with his cape as a stim (like in that other idle animation)
- him just repeating something just because he likes saying it, like 'coco goat' or some word zhongli taught him
impulsivity
- THE most impulsive guy ever
- impulsive to the point where he'll just throw himself into danger because he has free will
- will see some big horrifying monster, think 'i wonder if i could take that' (in a fight), then will attack unless someone stops him
- constantly gets himself into trouble because he reacts before he thinks
- i headcanon that him using foul legacy against the traveler was him genuinely losing his shit and wasn't planned
(and he probably just laid on the roof of the golden house like 'owww ouagh owww' until the battle with osial was done... also zhongli was watching liyue defend itself on a nearby mountain, like how a worried mother might watch her kids cook for the first time, and just happened to see the orange cat on the roof)
hyperactivity
- has a brain that never stops
- ultra instincts adhd, like rick riordan says
- if he ever stops moving, he'll die
- complains if he has to stay still
- probably fidgets non-stop
- the tsaritsa is an ally and has plenty of random crap to fiddle with on harbinger coats
socializing
- canonically the odd one out among his peers (granted, his peers are all scheming goth people)
- i swear he (canonically) constantly misses social cues and takes things literally...
- he misses social cues more than he misses crits
- blunt and straightforward, and prefers that way of communicating
- headcanon that zhongli lying to him actually hurt his feelings and his reaction was genuine... (and that reaction is a little too relatable, as someone who's neurodivergent... 😔🤨)
- this is probably an english-only thing, but his little 'haha' in stressful circumstances is him masking/coping with the situation and doing a brain reset, or just his default 'how the fuck am i meant to react to that' response (citation: I DO THAT!!)
- somehow masks and unmasks at the same time, like how he's wearing his literal mask on his head
- will just come out with the most profound and deep truths, this jumpscares people (especially ones who think he's a total dumbass)
- childe unmasking is just him with no expression, doing things in almost complete silence, even before the abyss he brought the vibe to the function that neurotypicals hate
- ^ he'll never unmask around his fellow harbingers because he doesn't like them but also he likes annoying them
hyperfixations/special interests
- easy 'he's obsessed with battle' connection, c'mannn
- and easy 'he's got an interest in weaponry', duhhhh
- but imagine him just being able to identify any fish, too.
- hyperfixated on liyue history, cuisine and culture during his stay there, probably kept getting zhongli to talk about whatever he was hyperfixating on that week (btw zhongli's autistic too, it's because he's hot, sorry i don't make the rules)
- picks up 1 million hobbies and hyperfixates on them either for a week or until he's mastered them (the one week ones get shelved until he masters them)
nerfed by celestia, AKA idk what to title this section
- i just can't see childe being able to sit there and finish paperwork like a regular guy
- northland bank managers fear him (he hands in paperwork one minute before the deadline)
- pulcinella probably handles his important harbinger documents because childe lost too many of them
- exchanged his quick moving and dodging in battle for a weekly sacrifice (he trips over something or breaks things through clumsiness; him and lynette are comrades in arms for breaking machines)
- his sleep schedule is that he doesn't have one
- he turns into some hunter-gatherer eater, unless someone with a normal routine is around, then he follows them and has regular meals at regular times (as opposed to him cooking borscht at 11AM
