#i just wanted to know if babies can be born with a conjoined twin at the abdomen. like. head at abdomen

Cassidy and CC soul idea:

Conjoined twins; but in the sense of like. CC was formed around the stomach area. His upper head is missing, but it's like a throne for a heart. (imagine: head missing, but a heart is still beating)

Cassidy is the main body, but CC wanted to join them. Or maybe CC was forced to join? I don't know. CC and Cassidy just know that they are stuck like this, but are fine with it.

They are fine with being like Conjoined twins.

CC's head is connected to Cassidy's chest, but CC is missing half of their head, so, it leaves them with an exposed heart.

girl dad 🎀 (b.c)

i had seen a tik tok with chan and the twins, and how he's a girl dad 🥹 so, i had come up with this idea 🫢 i hope you guys like it 🩷

feedback is greatly appreciated 🥰

~

You've been sitting in your car for twenty minutes, trying to get yourself to stop crying. One hand covers your mouth, quieting your sobs while the other gently rubs your tiny baby bump. You're fourteen weeks pregnant, and you just found out what you and Chan are having.

Your phone vibrates in your vehicle's cup holder, seeing Chan's name on the screen. You wipe your tears and take a deep breath before answering his call.

“Hey, baby,” you greet him, smiling to yourself.

“Hi, my baby,” Chan's voice makes your heart flutter. “Have you made it to the studio yet? How did the appointment go? I'm sorry I couldn't go with you.”

You giggle and lean back against the seat, turning your head to look out the window. “It's okay, baby. I forgot you had a schedule this morning. It went well. I have another sonogram photo to show you,” you inform him on how it went, leaving out the part where you learned whether your baby’s a girl or a boy.

“That's good. I can't wait to see our bean,” he giggles into the receiver, making you giggle as well. “We're just about to start filming, so I wanted to let you know that you're free to come in. I gave your name to security.”

You turn your vehicle off, feeling yourself calmer after talking to your boyfriend. “Okay, baby. I just pulled in, so I'll be there in a few. I love you,” you smooch.

“I love you so much. As soon as I have a free moment, I'm kissing you,” he mentions, having missed his morning kisses due to both of you being busy.

You're walking towards the building, and you shake your head. “I'm not going to complain,” you laugh, bidding him goodbye.

You slip your phone into your back pocket, giving the guard your name. He lets you in without any trouble, thankfully, and you make your way towards the room they're recording in.

When you finally reach the place Chan and Felix are in, you notice that they've already started recording. You look through the window of the door, seeing your boyfriend sitting cross-legged on the floor with the twins in his lap.

Tears pool in your eyes as you gently rub your belly, thinking of how it'll be when she's born. “Is this what parent life will look like?” You ask no one in particular, taking a quick glance down at your barely noticeable bump.

You chew on your lip as you walk into the room, the squeals of the girls reaching your ears. Chan's eyes meet yours, and he smiles at you fondly.

You wave at him before crossing your arms over your chest. Felix and Chan's manager grabs a chair for you to sit in, knowing that you're pregnant. You thank Skijigi quietly and take a seat.

The recording didn't last much longer, the two boys having a snack with the twins before they headed out. You stay in your seat when Chan walks over to you, greeting you with a kiss.

“Have you been crying?” He asks, noticing the redness around your eyes. His fingertips gently stroke your skin, a frown etching onto his lips.

“I can't get anything past you, can I?” You chuckle, shaking your head. Chan shakes his head as well, looking around to see the staff slowly filtering out. “It's nothing bad, I promise.”

Your hand grabs his, intertwining your fingers together before squeezing his hand. “The baby's okay?” He asks, stroking the back of your hand.

“Yes, absolutely,” you tell him, standing up from your chair. You bring your conjoined hands to your stomach, letting him feel your bump. “She is doing fantastic.”

His head snaps up, a gasp leaving his plump lips. “She? We're having a girl?” Chan whispers, his hands moving to your waist. “Are we really having a baby girl?”

Tears pool in both of your eyes, and you nod your head, confirming. “We're gonna have a little girl,” you cry out, laughing as you do. “You're going to be such a wonderful girl dad.”

Your fingers stroke his cheek, smiling up at him as you wipe his tears. Chan's lip quivers, bringing you into his chest. “I can't believe we're gonna have a girl,” he sniffles, gliding his hands on your lower back. “I hope she looks just like you.”

You pull back enough to look at him, smiling softly. “I hope she has your smile and dimples,” you giggle, leaning on your toes to kiss his lips.

“I can't wait to tell the kids,” he laughs, pressing chaste kisses on your lips. “They were so convinced that we'll have a boy.”

You burst out laughing, combing your fingers through his hair. “Let's go prove them wrong,” you wink, pulling away from him completely. Chan swiftly grabs your hand as the two of you walk out of the room together.

“After we tell them you want to get dinner?” He asks, kissing the back of your conjoined hands.

Your heart flutters in your chest, nodding your head, yes. “I'd love to, baby,” you grin, leaning your head on his arm. “I love you.”

Chan kisses your head and squeezes your hand. “I love you, baby.”

(@icetypelover) Hello, since biology is your thing I wanted to ask, how uncommon is a mutation where a Pokémon has two heads? I've seen it happen in Ekans and similar Pokémon rarely, but someone I know has a two-headed Houndoom, he was born with them. He's a gift from her father, back when he was a little Houndour pup, he's very well raised and gentle, though some fire can leak from his mouth when he's excited.

He's from a family of breeders who have been working with her father's family for generations where Houndoom are a Pokémon of choice, and they can't remember if it has ever happened before. The heads don't snap at each other and he's given a bit more food than a Houndoom his size would need since he has two brains, split in half so each head can eat, and he has no health issues.

I'm curious because there are two mythos I know, of Houndoom-like creatures with two and three heads, so it has to come from somewhere right? Since they're both represented as similar to Houndoom, does that mean it's maybe a mutation that can happen not so impossibly rare you wouldn't believe it in Houndoom?

wow, that's very fortunate that the fellow's gotten one just fine with two heads! extremely cool, what an exceptional lil guy, i'm glad the two get along.

polycephaly (literally "multiple headed") is a condition found all over the animal kingdom- including in humans!- and it isn't actually a mutation (with a notable exception we'll get to later). mutations specifically refer to changes in the genetic code- whether that's the flipping of a base pair, duplication of chromosomes, or so on- while polycephaly is actually a way that conjoined twinning can be expressed.

so, identical twins. identical (also called monozygotic) twins happen when a fertilized egg splits into two separate wholes at some point early in development- compare with "typical" development, where 1 egg + 1 sperm = 1 baby. identical twins happen when 1 egg + 1 sperm = 2 baby. compare with fraternal (or dizygotic) twins, which are formed from two separate eggs fertilized by two separate sperm. identical twins share a genetic code while fraternal twins do not (like any other sort of sibling). identical twins aren't super uncommon, though their rate of occurrence changes depending on where in the world you go.

now, usually this separation of the zygote into 2 embryos is complete. rarely, though, this splitting happens particularly late and doesn't quite finish, resulting in the two twins being connected in some fashion. this can result in an organism with one body and two heads, such as in your houndoom example, but can express in tons of different ways- for example, you may be familiar with the term "siamese twins" for conjoined twins: this originates from a famous pair of conjoined human twins from 1800's siam, chang and eng bunker, who were joined around the chest. in other cases, twins can be fused at the back of the head, the abdomen, the back, and plenty of other configurations.

survivability of these conditions varies wildly. some are easily separated, some live fine while conjoined, some must be separated for either of the two to survive, and unfortunately some are unable to survive at all, dying soon after birth.

the last case is usually what happens with two-headed organisms (something something, twice as many stars), but obviously, there are exceptions. while rare, organisms (of any sort- it's most famous in reptiles as you mentioned, but mammals (including humans!) can obviously exhibit it too) can live with these conditions as well.

also worth noting- when two complete heads are present, two complete brains are present! they may share organs and sensation, but the brains do function independently- so it's good that in your example the two get along! two-headed examples of less social species will often be much more antagonistic towards one another, since the two heads can recognize their counterparts as potential competitors or aggressors. this can cause problems in wild pokemon, who may waste precious time and energy squabbling over who gets to eat something that's going to the same stomach anyways (assuming the individuals share a stomach- sometimes there are two), leaving them vulnerable to attack.

(you may be familiar with 12-string, a polycephalic seviper(s) owned by virbank gym leader roxie, who famously featured in some particularly intense PWT matches- two heads means two sets of venom glands, which means REALLY effective poison type attacks!)

this also raises the question of individuality- whether polycephalic organism(s) are considered one or two beings- and perspectives on this vary. some polycephalic twins consider themselves two separate people, while some consider themself one. in what way you consider polycephalic organisms without the ability to self-define in that way is up to you, really (which is to say, if a person with two heads considers themself one person, they are one person, and vice versa, but most nonhuman animals can't decide that for themselves and probably don't care how you refer to them).

now, uh, back to pokemon specifically, and those notable exceptions i mentioned. while polycephaly is exceptional in the vast majority of species, there are of course a few where having multiple heads is the norm: doduo/dodrio, deino/zweilous/hydreigon, and girafarig/farigiraf (there are a few others- like weezing or cherubi- but i'm talking about animals specifically here. also not to be confused with conglomerate pokemon like dugtrio or magneton, which are multiple separate individuals working as one). these instances are indeed genetically programmed.

the mechanism by which these pokemon develop their multiheadedness varies. doduo could be considered to be a conjoined twin- the zygote's partial split happens in much the same way, though enforced by genetics.

(this process can indeed lead to an inverse of polycephaly, in which the two heads of the doduo fail to separate while in development. while rare, this condition is rarely fatal, and dodrio evolving from single-headed doduo tend to be two-headed. note how the dodrio's heads are asymmetrical, with one middle and one left head.)

girafarig does not develop by partial fission- the anterior and posterior heads develop separately, just the same as you develop two of each limb, girafarig develops two heads.

in cases where a pokemon gains more heads as it evolves, such as in dodrio and zweilous, the process is somewhat similar to how it happens in embryos- the head essentially separates into two in the split-second process of instantaneous evolution, with new growth making up the material lost to each head (or in hyderigon's case, the middle head keeping all the brain). in doduo->dodrio and zweilous->hydreigon only one of the two heads separates: the right head in doduo, and the left in zweilous. you can see in the two-headed dodrio above that the singular "right" head split into the middle and right heads, leaving a "blank" space where the left head would be.

you also mentioned the various mythos surrounding multi-headed creatures- indeed, some think that mythological beasts like hades' hellish houndoom cerberus may have been inspired by real-life examples of polycephaly, though we don't know for sure. cases of polycephaly are indeed extremely rare, so it'd be entirely understandable for folks in ancient times to think they're some sort of legendary beast, and you can find records of conjoined twin animals labeled as miracles or similar in some medieval texts.

ANOTHER HOUSE OF WAX RANT.

(I know Surprise surprise)

Didn't plant on doing this but I'm watching Bo scenes cause I wanted to see him and here we are.

When he tells wade that he gets stuff delivered to his house, he's blinking various times quickly (I don't remember for sure exactly, but it's a sign of lying)

He seems a bit sarcastic when he talks about his mom's dream with the wax figures

I don't think he cared much for the figured themselves

From my previous rant, I stated the possible similarities between the Sinclairs and the sisters from Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? (the movie playing in the movie theater scene)And right now Im thinkin there's more clues to my theory that Bo wanted to keep Vincent hidden just like the older sister did to the younger sister in the baby Jane movie.

Also HOW do they keep the electricity and water running? Are they pulling some kind of Dexter's lab ish at ambrose? They hits to pay the bills somehow.

Do we honestly know if Bo has no real job? Like I think he really is a mechanic who worked in ambrose until it died out, and then he went to get another Job In another gas station or car shop. (Ill be elaborating more on that topic in my HOW fics)

WHY AM I SO ATTRACTED TO THAT ELVIS PRESLEY GREASY MECHANIC?? HES WAY OLD FOR ME AND HES A. MURDERER AND I WOULD LITERALLY PICK HIM OVER ALL THE BOYS IBE HAD A CRUSH ON IRL I JUST WANNA MARRY FREAKING BO SINCLAIR AND HAVE FAMILY WITH HIM

that glue scene we all love? I COULD WATCH OT ALL DAY EVERYDAY AND NEVER GET TIRED OF WATCHING IT

I love Brian van holt, he's a great actor and all but He's not in a lot of shows or movies that I would normally watch, so THANK YOU TO JAUME COLLETE for introducing me to Brian.

Although I do love Both Bo and Brian, Im definitely more in love with Bo, AND I AM SO CONFUSED LIKE BRIAN LITERALLY PLAYS BOBBY COBB AND BOBBY IS FUNNY CRAZY NOT A KILLER HANDSOME AND PRETTY COOL GUY. AND I WOULD CHOOSE BO OVER HIM BECAUSE BOBBY CHEATED ON HIS WIFE, AND I LITERALLY RATHER MARRY A SLASHER THAN A TWO TIMING DOG (no offense to Bobby he's great, just not husband material)

I've also fallen in love with Vincent after reading and writing about him, fancon is just amazing like that.

After reading a post I've recently found about Vinny's deformity, It backed up my personal theory that he in fact, is able to speak, maybe a bit of a speech impediment but still. I think he just gets really tired when he talks cause maybe his brain works faster than he can speak or his brain gets a bit mixed up when he speaks.

I bet the brothers have matching tattoo

I wanna expand the back stories of ma and pa Sinclair. Not to defend them but to explain how is it that they became the way they were. To show them as human beings instead of just evil parents.

I don't think Victor was a dead beat dad. He was a Surgeon who literally did the complicated and possibly deadly operation that separated the twins. He could've just let them be conjoined forever or killed them on "accident" he was probably a mess trying to desperately save perform the surgery and keep his sons alive.

The fact that although in an inadvisable method, he did deal with Bo and his episodes.

I prefer to use the word episode instead of tantrums because I'm pretty sure that Bo wasn't just misbehaving.

There's a difference between throwing a hissy fit and having a mental condition that causes panic attacks

Maybe something Victor did that morning triggered little Bo and he started having his anxiety/panic attack. (Waking him up before he was ready, treating him roughly, or yelling at him or maybe all of the above)

From the little pictures we have of baby bo smiling that baby Yoda adorable level smile I think he was a happy child, not a troublemaker.

Maybe at one point his parents mere presence became a trigger to Bo and he experienced more episodes

Trudy had a freaking cyst in her brain it could've very well been there when the twins were born or soon after, and grew undetected until it was too late. Maybe that was the root of her behavior towards Bo.

I think she was immature in the sense that she couldn't cope in a healthy way with Bo and his condition that she just reacted the way she had learned as a child herself. (It happens alot, even when adults try not to, they always resort to some extend to how they saw their own parents handle situations. It's inevitable, yes there are many who try to break the habits but it's not easy and it doesn't happen overnight.

I also have a personal headcanon that Bo has a real job, cause like HOW in Davey Jones locker do they have running water for an abandoned town supposedly nobody knows about (Just like Dexter and his lab. Like my dude how do your parents not get a loaded electric bill??)

I wanna see the brothers' drivers licences (hahaha🤣🤣🤣 we all know those never come out right) only one I wouldn't tease is Vincent. I don't wanna hurt my poor baby's feelings. 🥺🥺

I ADORE BO'S VOICE (HOW COULD ANYONE NOT??) Even his BREATHING has me fangirling

HIS HAIR HIS EYES THE WAY HE CARRIES HIMSELF SWEET NIBBLETS WHYYYY IS HE SO FOINE

I wanna cuddle with all three Sinclairs on the couch and just binge on horror and Disney movies

Im sad cause we don't have more canon material with them talking and being themselves

I've said it in an old post of mine, WE NEED A HOW SERIES. I think Brian can pull of playing Bo again and they can use Dylan minnette as young Bo and Vincent and I'm not sure but maybe Thomas Brodie Singer as young Lester, Vera Farmiga as Trudy and Patrick Wilson as Victor ( actually using the latter two as ma and pa Sinclair in my fanfic)

I absolutely love the idea of the Sinclairs as fathers and uncles.

The three of em nar definitely hopeless romantics, they just show it differently. 😍😍😍

Okay thats all for now it's almost two am and my brain is finally starting to feel tired

[graciesinclair81]

TRUDY AND VICTOR SINCLAIR HEADCANONS.

Cause They get A LOT of bad rep, and Its understandable. But there's more to them that we know. Also I feel kinda bad for them and not a lot of people talk about them in depth.

They never meant to raise their kids with questionable child rearing methods, Things just got out of hand, and they didn't know how to cope.

Victor was abused even more than what he did to his kids, his father was a mean alcoholic and didn't only beat him when he was misbehaving, but also beat him even when poor Victor was simply minding his own business.

Trudy was an extremely beautiful young woman, (have you seen her sons??) and she was winner of miss ambrose for years consecutively.

They truly tried to handle Bo's tantrums, but it was nearly impossible, think about it: Bo Sinclair as an adult is huge, immensely strong, and has incredible stamina and endurance. And if you've seen pics of the Sinclair parents, you can see that they weren't anywhere near as big as the adult twins.

Also from what I've gathered of the few pics we have of the Sinclair brothers as children, it seems to me that Trudy and Victor did nice things for their children- birthdays, taking them to the zoo and park; getting toys for them, etc you can literally see baby bo smiling with that adorable grin of his:

They weren't perfect; no parent is. But honestly, let's imagine ourselves in their shoes. Youre a young couple; you're expecting your first child, it turns out they're twins, but they're conjoined. You are now forced to make a very serious decision. Your choice, like all other choices parents make, will permanently affect the infants.

Either you keep them together, and have to deal with the challenges that such a situation will present; or you risk them dying during a fairly rare operation. (at the time, remember the twins were born in the beginning of the 70s and medical knowledge of procedures was limited.)

Victor was able to separate them safely himself for the latter reason the surgery was 'controversial" as stated in the newspaper article:

But even though the surgery didn't kill the children, they still had trauma. And even though people think Bo was perfectly normal since his scars weren't seemingly extensive compared to Vincent's, both twins suffered major mental issues. I mean come on. Who in their sane mind decides that killing people to set them up on display as wax figures just for the hell of it?

But it's not a black or white situation. There's a lot of gray with the Sinclairs. The boys had problems, but so did the parents. I don't think it's too far fetched to say that Trudy and Victor were the ones who actually started the killings. Bo clearly explained how his momma wanted to make something real special, and how he and Vincent were continuing her work. I don't know how involved Victor actually was with the wax figures or killings, maybe he was actively working alongside his wife, which is the most likely, since killing people isn't an easy task obviously and judging from the pics we have of her, she wasn't exactly strong or big. She was pretty petite and short.

We don't know much about her past canonically; but personally I think that the cyst she eventually got in her brain was hereditary. Maybe mental or physical illness ran in her family? Maybe that's why the boys were born conjoined? I dunno. But it is something to ponder.

Something I was thinking about recently was how back in the day, mental illness was treated so inadequately. And how people would perform lobatomies on patients with behavioral problems. What if Trudy and Victor didn't want that for Bo, and they preferred to try to handle him in order to keep him from a mental hospital and suffering the same fate many people had went through because of his very same condition?

When Trudy died, Victor shot himself. It's literal proof how much he meant to him; he couldn't bare to live without his wife, and not even his children could make him stay.

In conclusion:

I don't think it's fair to point fingers and blame Trudy and Victor for everything without taking in consideration of the circumstances the Sinclairs were in. I don't want to justify the fact that they hurt their children both emotionally and physically, but they had their reasons. I don't think they just decided to have children and be monsters to them; the trials that they went through lead to the tragic outcome of what would be the Sinclair demise.

Look at this pic; Look at how happy Trudy was. Victor may be scowling, but I bet that is just his normal face. (My own dad always seemed like he was mad when he was perfectly fine and chillin) Look closely at the headline underneath, "the couple seemed overjoyed with news of their impending family." Idk why but it makes my heart break a little, seeing them and thinking about all the sad events that had happened afterwards, and thinking of what could've been had things been different somehow.

[slasherbeachbitch]

Are you ok with a hc of Bo Sinclair and female s/o with their twin baby boys?

Okay this has been in my inbox for MONTHS and I'm so sorry for not doing it until now, so to try and make up for it I'll give you headcanons and small drabbles for all three Sinclair boys!

Bo Sinclair

Bo is first of all, very scared

He is second of all very thrilled, especially if it's two baby boys

He probably names them like a week after they're born because he can't think of a name, but I think he'd like something kinda like Alex or Hayden.

Other than the initial fear and the time it would take for him to get used to being woken up at 2 a.m., I think he'd be a good dad

He'd certainly give all sorts of piggy-back rides and when they're old enough he'll teach them stuff about cars or play some sort of sport with them

Is definitely the dad that gets pissed at his kids sports games and it's a little embarrassing when his S/O tells him to calm down

Though even if his boys aren't into that stuff, he'll still love them.

Also he probably thought he was going to get one baby since I'd like to think his S/O wanted it to be a surprise and he almost fainted when he found out there were two

"Bo?" You called from the kitchen. You could've sworn you heard him, or someone at least, enter the front door in a hurry. You hoped you didn't give yourself away to any trespassers or potential victims, but you were sure no one came into town today. A little giggle coming from the doorway tipped you off that it was not in fact your wonderful Bo, but your even more beautiful and mischievous munchkins. A small smile took form on the corner of your lips, "Hayden? Dalton? Is that you two?" Just more giggles answered your call until you felt a large hand clamp down on your shoulder, making you let out a small shriek of surprise and your children let out a chorus of laughs while their poor mother had a heart attack. There was Bo, standing before you, looking the happiest he's ever been and in that moment everything seemed right in the world.

Vincent Sinclair

Honestly a fucking super dad

He adores his two little boys and probably had a ton of names picked out for when they arrived

He likes names like Maxwell or Thomas, something nice sounding or even after an artist

He paints their room to be a starry night sky surrounded by a pretty forest and he thinks that it's only his second best piece of art

They're his first of course

He definitely helped with all his S/O's cravings and made sure she was comfy, but not overbearingly so

He loves to watch the boys play and just be kids

He really hopes that he can give them a better life than what he had

So he's always supportive of what his kids do, and will accept them no matter what they do

He won't let them in on the process of the wax figures until they're like teens, but he'd kinda hope maybe one of them would follow in his footsteps, or at least be interested in art

But he won't be mad if they don't

He was probably terrified that the babies would be conjoined like he was to Bo so he probably made sure that you two got a few ultrasounds and he was so relieved everything went well and they were healthy

One thirty in the morning is when you'd be woken up nowadays, with no more peaceful nights for the foreseeable future. With a great heaving sigh you glanced over to see that Vincent was already hopping out of bed and slipping his mask on. "Vince, honey I got it, you've been on night feeding duty for a day or two now." You yawned out and he waved you off.

You frowned a bit before shrugging, it was too early and too stupid to push. Instead you slipped out of bed and followed him to the nursery that was just a room away and helped him get the boys settled down. He looked so lovely with his hair in a frazzled bun and gingerly feeding Max before rocking him. He looked so peaceful and so happy, you couldn't have asked for a better man to be your partner. When you two put the boys down again, you both trudged to your room and plonked down onto the bed. He wrapped his strong arms around you, and you fell asleep to the thought of what the future would hold for your wonderful family.

Lester Sinclair

Lester is a good, if not a bit of a disaster dad

Like he loves his kids and does his best to take care of them

But like he's also basically the least responsible person and would definitely be the type of dad to let his kids shoot off fireworks in a drainpipe. Of course, telling them to not blow their fingers off

Definitely is the type of dad to be like, "so long as no one gets hurt, I don't care if you blow up Mt. Rushmore" and then hands his kids the firepower needed to blow up a small army

Also says stuff like, "I did that as a kid, and I turned out just fine"

Helps his kids collect bones and stuff and honestly he loves hearing them talk about how they're doing

Since no one ever really listened to him as a kid and he doesn't want his kids to think he doesn't care

He likes it when they talk about school or their friends and is always just so proud of his boys

He might name his boys something like Buck or James

He honestly would stick to more naturey kind of naming schemes, or just after people he's met

Takes his kids out fishing and hunting when they're old enough and teaches them everything they need to know about the wilderness

They often stay out camping for a few days when the boys get older and it's such a good bonding experience for them all

He is only ever nice and sweet to his boys and will always love them, even if he is a bit unorthodox in his parenting

"Momma look!" Your son excitedly babbled as he ran up to the porch where you were enjoying a nice cup of lemonade, his brother and father trailing behind.

"I caught a rabbit Momma, a nice one. Can we eat it tonight?" Sloane held up his rabbit and waved it around wildly. You couldn't help but chuckle a little at how much he resembled his father sometimes.

You gave it a quick once over and nodded before giving him a quick kids on the head and saying, "Go put that on the counter and I'll get to it quick. You go wash up, you're all dirty."

He nodded quickly and fumbled into the house, accidentally slamming the screen door shut and leaving you with Buck and Lester.

Buck was not as happy, as he had caught nothing on the trip and his father had two rabbits with him. Buck ran over to you and gave you a quick hug. He looked like he'd been crying a little, only pulling away when Lester gave you a quick kiss and a look that said, "Will you take care of these?" Before handing you the rabbits and patting his son on the shoulder.

You went inside, and kept an ear out for what they were saying.

"Dad," It was Buck and he was sniffling and hiccuping up a storm, "I'm sorry I didn't get anything. I promise I'll get something next time."

You could practically hear the frown in Lester's voice as he calmed his son down, "Buck, it's okay if you don't get anything, you're new to shooting and I don't expect you to get in on the first try."

A cry left the boy's throat, "But Sloane always gets one!" There was a pause and a small sigh, "I just don't want to let you down or be the worse twin."

"Son you listen to me. You could never ever let me down. I don't care if you're not good at hunting as Sloane is, because you're good at other things that make me just as proud of you. I don't want you to compare yourself to your brother, because you're not him and you should never try to be him, just your own man."

They stayed there for a while and soon came inside when you were done skinning and bleeding the rabbits, and that night Buck seemed much happier than he had been in the morning. You were proud of all your boys, and you wanted nothing more than for all of them to be happy.

911:Lone Star 2x06 Hate Watch

I finally watched it! Just in time for tomorrow’s boring ass episode.

Also I typed this as I was watching it so it is literally my stream of consciousness during the episode, apologies in advance.

Eddie to cleanse:

Disclaimer: I hate this show, if you love this show, that’s cool! You do you boo

Hate under the cut:

I miss zombie Tim

Remember when Tim got absolutely fucking annihilated by the lava rock that was so funny

The lady in the red sweater is Carla Gallo, she has been in a shit ton of things – but I will always remember her from Carnivale

Omg she headbutted that dude, they should hire her

Ooh potential new paramedic is hot but in a serial killer way?

In that he kinda looks like a serial killer

Some people have serial killer face I don't make the rules

Speaking of serial killer face, here's TK

"I am going to be a father" BITCH

YOU ARE ALREADY A FATHER

YOUR SON IS LITERALLY SITTING RIGHT THERE\

I mean I hate them both BUT STILL

Naomi says Texas is a little dull for her – that's just the Lone Star filter

Yo I watch these YouTubers and they have videos in Texas and there's like, no brown filter? And the sky is blue? But I thought the sky in Texas was blue with a layer of brown over the top?!

Oh biiiitch "you of all people do not get to play the gender card" BITCH

What's your fucking problem Naomi

Uh oh, oh no

Now they're making me feel bad for her

Rob Lowe "he's been a little chilly"

NO I WONDER WHY

GEE

WHAT COULD HE POSSIBLY BE UPSET ABOUT ROB LOWE

Cyanide poisoning

Did the new paramedic… give her the cyanide? No okay it was the flowers, still I am suspicious

See we've got this scene with these two kids and if you'll notice, they're standing outside with a blue sky above them – now my YouTubers tell me that the Texan sky is blue, not a shitty shade of brown

And honestly I’m inclined to trust my YouTubers, they seem like nice people

WHAT IS THE TRUTH

Oh no are these two kids gonna get shot

THEY'RE IN A MINEFIELD????

WHAT

THE

ACTUAL

FUCK

Is the guy with the gun gonna get blown up

PLEASE

PLEASE

PLEASE

PLEASE

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES

YES

YES

THAT WAS GREAT

10/10 BRILLIANT

HAHAHAHAHA I WILL NEVER STOP LAUGHING

Why is Rob Lowe going into a minefield?

Oh this paramedic doesn't want to walk into a minefield wooow what a LOSER

I mean… I also wouldn't walk into a minefield

OH HERE'S TK

"I can do this" he says blandly

I hope TK blows up

How the actual fuck are they going to do this

What I love is that everyone else just stands around and watches them, no masks, no social distancing

Because there's no pandemic

Literally NO ONE IS WEARING A MASK

I'd really like Rob Lowe to get blown up

Disappointed that Rob Lowe and TK did not get blown up

Wow TK what a hero

This week in 911: Rob Lowe, Rob Lowe navigates a literal minefield!

Serial killer paramedic is gonna quit

Wow they know about union reps in Austin (that was just a little OG lawsuit-arc burn there)

"A cowboy culture" okay dude

The dude you replaced DID get hit by a lava bomb, it was great

Oh his name is Pearce, why am I only just learning this now

Is Carlos in this show anymore or no?

Oh wow he goes to the hospital and he's WEARING A MASK

The sister has MS???

Someone should have told him

Okay we don't need to compete with each other's traumas now

Wow she got over the transphobia quickly

I mean can he have a storyline that isn't about transphobia

Wow TK is applying to be a paramedic WHO DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING

PLOT. TWIST.

TK is getting even with Dad BY NOT WORKING WITH HIM ANYMORE that'll show you Dad

No Carlos?

No?

K.

Ooooooh Rob Lowe is a petty bitch

"Want to tell me what's going on with you?" "Well Dad you kinda act like me being your son doesn't fucking matter so that's why"

"TK is this really what you want?" yeah I get him not wanting to work with you

"Emotional reaction" TK has emotions?

This guy can't act

Someone needs to tell him that he can't act

"I don't think it's weird you're having another kid at your age" MATE I THINK IT'S WEIRD

HELLO I THINK IT'S WEIRD

Ugh god this is supposed to be emotional isn't it

Let's face it, this baby ain't gonna live

And if it does live I'll be shocked

It's nice that Paul's mother is so accepting of him though, she's so great. I pretty much love this actress anytime I see her in something

Oh they're having a boy wooow

That baby ain't gonna live

UGH "hey little brother I'll see you soon" I AM ROLLING MY EYES FOREVER

Overall verdict:

2/10 BUT a dude did blow up in a minefield and it was great so + 1000 for that makes it 1002/10, specifically - AND ONLY - for that one scene where that dude blew up

Diaz to CLEANSE THE SOUL:

[derivativealigner]

I rewatched the second season of South Park and took so many notes that I had to split them into two parts. Like seriously, I took so. many. notes. And pictures this time. I started rewatching just in case I’d find some cool little facts to sprinkle into my fanfic but I went way too far and now there’s a million facts under this cut (including gay stan, a domestic violence psa, and craig fucking dying)

Stan doesn’t like hospitals, he finds them gross and he gets sick 🤮. Also the hospital in South Park is called Hell’s Pass hospital. Early seasons have the name as Hells Pass but it gets fixed later

Cartman has to sing all of Come Sailing Away by Styx if he hears a part of it. After he says this, Kyle sings the first part and Cartman has to sing the rest. Kyle does it again later, which is kinda mean

Cartman’s mom tries to abort Cartman, who is an eight-year-old child and thus cannot be legally aborted. Later, after she slept with Bill Clinton to change the law and make 40th trimester abortions legal, it turns out she meant adoption

Kenny sacrifices himself to turn on the generator to the hospital and save Dr. Mephesto’s life along with others. He says “I’ll fucking do it” then does it and dies, absolute legend

Cartman gets way too into his deputy role. He goes undercover, pretends to be a prostitute, says “Respect my authoritah!” a lot and beats people up with his police stick

Kenny’s brother first appears when Cartman responds to a call about a disturbance at Kenny’s house. Apparently there are like 10 adult family members in the house at that time. Kenny’s dad has a black eye because Kenny’s mom punched him. She says he can’t hold a job

Token sits in the classroom in season 2

Cartman starts hating hippies in this season, like a lot

Chef tells the boys that the right time to do drugs is in college

Ike’s name is Ike Moisha Broflovski and he was born in 1996, making him 2 years old in 1998 when this season aired

This is probably obvious but yeah Kyle and Ike are circumcised

Kyle says family isn’t just blood, it’s who you care about, and he says “That’s why you guys are more than just friends, you’re my family. Except for Cartman.”

Craig’s finally sitting in the classroom in S02E04

None of the boys like dodgeball

Clyde gets a dodgeball to the face and he cries :( and he’s the only one who cries by the way

Pip throws a dodgeball in Kyle’s face and breaks Kyle’s nose

When Kyle’s mom tells the boys about conjoined twin myslexia (which isn’t a real term) and says anyone might’ve absorbed their dead twin in the womb, Stan and Cartman run away screaming but Kenny and Kyle stay to listen. Kenny even leans in to look at the book “Freaks A-Z!” that Mrs. Broflovski is reading from, and when she leaves, Kyle grimaces and Kenny laughs

Stan’s mom (Sharon) calls Kyle’s mom (Sheila) when Stan is all freaked out and trying to put an icepick through his brain, and Sharon tells Sheila to get run over by a truck. Sharon is pretty mean in these early episodes

Mr. Broflovski doesn’t really listen to what Mrs. Broflovski is saying, bad husband >:(

South Park’s team is always called South Park Cows no matter the sport

The school nurse, Nurse Gollum, went to Colorado State University

I just realized Butters exists. I think he appeared before S02E05 but I didn’t notice but yeah he’s there with the dodgeball team, injured

Here’s a picture to make up for my disgusting anti-Butters bias

Kenny’s dodgeball uniform number is 69 obviously. Kyle is 7, Stan is 4, Cartman is 325

Sheila smacks Gerald in the face so hard he falls off his chair, lots of violence perpetrated by women in this show. Remember, don’t do domestic violence no matter your gender, it’s not cool

I realized after this whole Butters thing that I should’ve made more notes about Pip, so I’ll make a note about his anger issues now. When people call him French, he gets angry and throws dodgeballs at them

The boys launch a jelly roll at Ms. Crabtree and make her crash the bus. They do it just for fun

The kids somehow go to China in the school bus

Cartman references Moby Dick, but he probably doesn’t know what he’s talking about

Kevin Stoley gets named in S02E05 and has his first speaking role when he says he has Chinese parents and after Cartman hears it he immediately says something racist. smh cartman, what a problematic fave

Cartman says “I love you guys 😊” but Stan and Kyle just stare at him and he goes 😐 “Eh, screw you guys 😠”

If Jimbo and Ned really fought in Vietnam, they youngest they could’ve been in 1998 is early forties, which means in the latest seasons they would be early sixties. Btw they met in Vietman

Jesus and Pals is a recurring TV show in seasons 1 and 2. Jesus just kind of lives in South Park

I just remembered that Terrance and Phillip are really old in canon, it’s so weird, like how can South Park canon still be changing, it’s been 20 years

Also the early seasons are casually racist who knew

Kenny flashes his ass on a tape the boys send to Jimbo and Ned’s TV show, which airs and at least 12 people see Kenny’s bare naked ass

Cartman really doesn’t like hippies in these early seasons. He throws a chair at Ned and yells, “Take that, hippie!” (Ned is in a catatonic state and did nothing to provoke this)

Jimbo and Ned live together I guess. Jimbo’s gonna take Ned home and show him some hardcore porn to snap him out of his catatonic state, good husband unlike Gerald Broflovski

Saddam Hussein is in hell and has a Canadian accent and is Satan’s lover in S02E06, I guess he died in Canada in the first episode this season but I wasn’t paying much attention since that’s the Terrance and Phillip episode that pissed a bunch of people off in 1998 because the audience wanted to know who Cartman’s dad is instead. It was kind of a boring episode so I understand why everyone was pissed, but it is funny that Matt and Trey did that so I’m not mad about it

Aww look at them!!! We’ve got background Style, the vaguest inkling of Crenny, and Cartman/Cake

I’d take more screenshots but it’s a pain since I’m watching legally and stupid legal websites block screenshots so I have to find youtube videos instead ughhhh piracy is the answer kids

Apparently there’s a huge waterfall and canyon somewhere close to South Park, maybe? At least in Stan’s dream

Mary Kay Bergman was an incredible voice actor. How the hell did she voice all the moms, Wendy, Shelly, principle Victoria, the mayor, Nurse Gollum, and fucking Ms. Crabtree??? Holy shit what a queen

Kenny has some feelings about death. He reimagines the episode where death boops him to death and in his version, he beats death the fuck up, then has ice cream and is happy 😊 But again, this is in Stan’s dream

S02E07 kind of establishes that nobody remembers Kenny dying because when Cartman tells a story where Kenny dies, Kyle questions how Kenny could’ve died then when he also died just a few hours ago when a giant monster took him

rip craig, he falls out the bus and into a canyon

But it’s okay because it was all Stan’s dream so everything in the episode is questionable. Everything after this is no longer a dream

Pip’s parents are dead and he has to go to summer school while everyone else is having a nice summer break

Officer Barbrady and the mayor are having sexual relations, I’m sure this is the most interesting note I’ve made so far. Idk I’m just writing everything down, this is how I enjoy things, I have no off switch

Ew summer bus stop, cursed

Kyle casually sings little tunes every once in a while, how cute

This is pretty obvious but Kenny likes dirty jokes, he laughs when Cartman innocently says he loves Chef’s salty chocolate balls (which are chocolate candy). Nobody else laughs

Cartman says “Screw you guys, I’m going home” or variations of it a lot in this season

So Stan throws up when he likes someone, right? Well, he’s watching an indie movie about two gay cowboys who start making out and he throws up, which is either a terrible homophobic joke or confirmation that Stan’s a little gay. I know which one I prefer

Kyle says Mr. Hankey is his best friend after Stan. Like I know it’s definitely canon that Stan and Kyle are best friends but it’s still nice to see confirmation, it’s very precious. Also Kyle is best friends with literal shit, so cute 😊

Kenny deaths:

S02E02 Kenny sacrifices himself by connecting a generator wire, which electrocutes him but brings power back to a hospital

S02E03 A tree falls on Kenny and crushes him

S02E04 Kenny falls in a grave and the gravestone falls on him

S02E05 The Chinese dodgeball team throws a ball at Kenny and he gets splattered against a wall

S02E06 Two guys pull on Kenny and tear him in half, as in one has the head and one has the legs

S02E07 A big scary monster plucks Kenny out of the school bus and carries him away. Also in Cartman’s fake memory of Fonzi jumping over cars, the motorcycle hits Kenny and crushes him against a brick wall. Kenny gets smashed against walls a lot, doesn’t he?

S02E08 Flashback: Baby Kenny has a firecracker and it explodes, sprinkling little baby Kenny parts everywhere. Later in the episode, current day Kenny dies when a giant firework snake bumps him off a stage and under a fence, which then crushes him.

S02E09 Kenny is playing with a yoyo outside a movie theatre when a bunch of people come outside and trample him to death. They say “Oh my God, I found a penny!” and “You bastard!”

I’ll post part 2 of season 2 in a couple days. I’m having way more fun writing these stupid notes than I thought I would (also gnomes is coming up soon and i am fucking ready for tweek)

Helpless - Jimmy Darling

pairing: jimmy darling x reader

warnings: major spoilers for freak show, amputation

———————————————————————

“I got a deal for you, kid.” The seven words that changed my life permanently.

You see, I’ve been a freak ever since birth. I was born with a rare condition called ectrodactyly, which meant that my normal five fingers were conjoined into two fingers and a thumb on each hand.

Unfortunately, being a ‘freak’ meant many things:

That I would never be accepted into society.

That I would be considered an oddity, an exhibit, something to gawk and laugh at.

And that I’ll never find love.

I never thought much about these things, accepting that they were just part of my life, until I met Jimmy Darling.

I wandered into sunny Jupiter one day and happened upon a small freak show, made up of many acts. One of those acts happened to be none other than Lobster Boy, son of Neptune, god of the sea. I saw him and thought, I’ve found it, I’ve finally found it.

I know, love at first sight, it’s a cliche. And the fact that we’re both freaks with the same condition is doubly cliche, but we had something special.

We formed a beautiful bond, both of us secretly wishing it would develop into something more. In time, I joined the show, combining my act with Jimmy’s as “The Glamourous Lobster Twins”. We started to do everything together, go everywhere together. Hell, we were practically Bette and Dot, joined at the hip.

He even took me to his secret “Tupperware Parties”, where he worked his second gig. Naturally, being a good friend and all, I wasn’t happy about his method of bringing in the bucks, but I had to support him regardless.

One day, the police showed up to camp, not to anyone’s surprise, seeing how often they showed up. They came to arrest Jimmy and I for the murder’s of the housewives from the Tupperware Party. Of course, I had no idea they had been killed, and I knew it wasn’t me or Jimmy, seeing as we left at the same time. But I knew I had to act fast, so I confessed.

“Officer, please keep Jimmy out of this. It was me, I killed those women.” I lied, holding my hands out to the man.

“Y/N, no, what are you doing?” Jimmy protested, pulling me back by my shoulder.

“Shhh, Jimmy, I’m keeping you safe. You need to be at home with all of your family right now, and I’m making sure of it.” I shushed him, cupping his cheek gently.

“But you’re my family, darlin’. Wherever you are is where I feel safe. I can’t see you go.” He cried out when the officer began handcuffing me.

“See you soon, Jimmy Darling.” He held my hand as the police walked me to the car. Little did I know, that would be the last time I’d ever be able to do that.

“What if I told you there was a way you could get out of here and see the freak show again?” Richard said through the bars of my cell.

“Oh please, Mr. Spencer, I’d do anything!” I exclaimed.

“You see, I know someone who works in a certain line of business that would pay handsomely to see you,” he paused, noting the confused expression on my face. “He deals in oddities, freaks, if you will. He makes money by showing the preserved remains of them to paying customers in a museum, and he has been dying to get his mitts on those mitts,” Richard gestured down to my hands.

“H-he wants my hands?” I questioned, more to myself than anyone else.

“Even just one of the conjoined fingers would do. That is, if you’re willing.” He suggested.

“I don’t know, is there anything else I could do to get out of here?” I asked hopefully.

“I don’t think so, hon, he seems pretty firm in what he wants, I don’t know if I could sway him.” Richard said.

“I’d have to think about it.” I said, deep in thought.

“The way I see it, you don’t have much time for thinkin’. You either do this, and get a good lawyer to defend you, or rot in here until a public defense gets your case. And trust me, that’ll do you more bad than good.” He paced outside of my cell.

I wasn’t lying when I said I wanted to think. Would I really be willing to stoop as low as selling one of my own appendages to have a shot at getting out of here?

“You know, saying no is a hell of a lot better of an answer than silence. That’ll do you good in court, kid. Good luck.” He began to leave.

“Mr Spencer, wait!” I yelled, getting his attention. “I’ll do it, but just the one finger, right?”

“Of course.” Richard grinned devilishly. “Drink this.” He handed me a small bottle which I downed in a shot. Not even a minute later, I was retching up what was left of yesterday’s lunch into the grimy toilet bowl.

I was quickly escorted out of the jailhouse and into an ambulance, Mr Spencer in tow. They hooked me up to something, making me feel woozy and lightheaded.

“Just rest, Y/N, your procedure will be over in no time.” Was the last thing I heard before I blacked out.

I woke up, a searing pain in my head and both wrists. I groaned and tried to sit up, but my head was gently pushed back down.

“Wha-” I opened my eyes, seeing a blurred version of Jimmy. “Jimmy, where am I? Why does everything hurt?” I croaked out.

“You’re back at the freak show, darlin’.” Jimmy said, smiling weakly. “You- uh- you went to jail to save the rest of us, remember?”

“Yeah, of course I do.” My face screwed up in confusion when I saw tears streak down his face. “Jimmy, baby, why are you crying?”

His eyes looked everywhere except back into mine before they settled on my midsection. I looked down at myself, searching for any noticeable difference, when I noticed my arms were strapped down to the bed.

“What the-” my arms ached as I raised them up to see what was wrong.

My jaw dropped.

Richard had lied.

He didn’t take one of my fingers, he took both of my hands.

A strangled cry ripped from my throat as I stared at the bloody bandaged-up stumps where my hands should have been. The tears poured relentlessly down my cheeks, leaving clean streaks behind them.

“H-he lied, Jimmy! He p-promised he would g-get me out of there! He took m-my h-hands!” I sobbed.

“Oh Y/N, come here, doll.” He muttered, laying down on the bed next to me, laying his head on my chest and wrapping his arms around me. My arms were still strapped to the bed so I couldn’t hug him back, but i nuzzled my face into his neck.

“What am I gonna do? I can’t do anything anymore. I’m so stupid, it’s pathetic.” I sniffled, leaning my head back on the pillow and staring at the top of the tent.

“Hey, look at me.” Jimmy said sternly, gently grasping my jaw and turning my head to face him. “You, are not stupid. Spencer’s a con artist, he tricks people, that’s what he does. If I were in your situation, I would’ve made the same choice, too. I don’t blame you for it. No one does, Y/N.”

“Thank you, Jimmy. What did I ever do to deserve you?” I sniffed, blinking the tears from my eyes. I wanted to reach out to him, but I couldn’t move my arms.

“Here,” He reached over, unbuckling the straps that constrained me. I tried to stretch out my limbs, but a sharp, shooting pain pulsed through them, making my breath hitch. “Don’t move, darlin’. Just stay put for a bit. Let me make you feel good.”

His voice carried no venom or pity, as I feared it might. I didn’t want him to spend time with me only because I was helpless, but I now knew he wouldn’t.

He gingerly crawled onto the bed, straddling my waist. He placed his hands on my cheeks, lips gliding down to meet mine. I moaned into his mouth as his tongue tangled with mine. How did I ever think I would survive in prison without him?

I moved to wrap my hands around his neck as I normally would, but my arms ached and stung. I groaned again, this time not in pleasure, and Jimmy could tell.

“Did I hurt you, baby? I’m so sorry- we should stop, i shouldn’t have done that-”

“Jimmy, it’s okay. It was my fault, don’t blame yourself. I really liked it, actually.” My cheeks tinged pink. “Can we keep going?”

He nodded sweetly, resuming his careful ministrations. He didn’t make me beg, or tease me like he normally would, no. This was a whole new side of him, and I embraced it wholeheartedly.

Pairing: Ben x Reader Summary: Ben expresses worry for Reader before he leaves Words: 1008 (oops) Warnings: Pregnancy, sickness, um possibly sad at the end

gif not mine

October 4, 2016

True to her word, the doctor had called back a couple of days later. The first thing she did was assure you that your babies would be okay. But her news wasn’t the best of news. Hyperemesis Gravidarum, something more extreme than morning sickness. After visiting your doctor, something you were going to have to do a lot more of now, you were instructed to eat smaller, more frequent meals of bland, dry foods, and if possible more proteins. You also needed to drink more fluids. You were also told of many different ways to help prevent the nausea from taking over. But the one thing that helped the most was the support from Ben, without him you didn’t know if your could do it.

Today wasn’t the best of days. The nausea made doing anything ten times more difficult. All you wanted to do was lay in bed all day. Which is what you did. You had no real desire to eat anything. But Ben made sure you had what you needed.

“Maybe I should drop out of the next film. There’s always going to be another along the road.” Ben was currently packing a bag for some work related traveling and appearances. He was watching you eat the few crackers and bananas he had obtained for you as a snack. He worried with all this time spent preparing for this movie and doing press for the previous one  was taking time away from helping you out.

“You wanted to do this film ever since you first heard about it babe. I’m not letting you drop out. You were meant to take this role.” You munched loudly on the saltines. He needed to do this, it would open up so many great things for him, and  for your growing family.

“I don’t know.” Your husband questioned himself. He would never forgive himself if anything ever happened to you or the babies while he was anyway. “You’re going to get bigger a lot faster since you’re having twins and before you know it  you’re going to need help.”

“Benny I’m not a baby.” You mustered enough energy to get up from the bed as a wave of nausea coursed through your body. You fought the urge to skedaddle to the bathroom as fast as you could. You weren’t that big yet. You were still able to do things on your own, but he was right things were going to change now that there were going to be two babies instead of just one, like they had originally planned for. “I can get help. Our mums are always willing to help. And I have Georgie, and I do believe Evie coming back home for a bit.”

Ben didn’t say anything as he moved from the bedroom to the conjoining bathroom to grab the his necessary items from his side of the counter. You followed him slowly, trying to keep your breathing low, hoping that would keep the nausea at bay. It wasn’t working very well. Ben felt himself being pushed out of the way. He turned to face you as you bent over the toilet more than once, getting rid of the entire contents of your stomach.

“See what I mean. What if something happens and I’m not here?” Ben voiced his concerns. He hated leaving even if it was just for the weekend. This is something that he would never get over. “I just worry that it’s going to get really bad and we’re going to lose the little ones or maybe all three of you.”

“Nothing is going to happen.” You got up wiping the tears that involuntarily fell from your eyes. You knew his fears of leaving you alone. But you knew you could do it, many women around the world did it, so could you. “By the time you actually start filming the babes will be born and I most likely won’t be getting sick anymore. It’s going to be fine.”

“But.” Ben knew what he wanted to say and he knew you just counter with how everything was going to be okay. Deep down somewhere in his brain he knew you were right. But those what ifs got him thinking again.

You got up from your spot in front of the toilet and wrapped your arms around him the best you could with your now protruding stomach. You kissed his shoulder before laying your head on it. A thin lipped smirk displayed on Ben’s face as he watched you in the mirror.

“You’ll be back for the next appointment right?” You lifted your head, left your arms wrapped around him. “It’s going to be the big one. And then we can paint the nursery, pick out names, and buy more of those adorable ones I found the other day.”

“Of course I’ll be back. I wouldn’t miss that for the world.” Your husband lifted your chin, kissing you on your lips. “By the way. Your breath stinks.” He smiled earning him a punch in to the shoulder.

October 19 2016

Ben rubbed his eyes. The alarm he had set on his phone sounding off that annoying song you hated, the one that always got him up in the morning. Once the screen had gone back to normal he started to panic. He scrolled through the device as he ran his hand through his messy hair, fearing the worst.

15 missed calls

10 unopened messages

5 voicemails

Evie T: Ben. Call. Now.

Evie T: I know youre sleeping. But I need you to call now.

[queer-star]

💡 give me some facts about any of them!

U already asked me the same question on my main so this time instead of doing main chars I'm gonna do med cats edition starting with my Main Bitch™

💡Random fact about them:

Foxspirit: Used to be a very anxious tiny baby with love for healing, has evolved into a sleep deprived lovable grump who actually cares for everyone and is def the only cat with a brain in this god forsaken valley. He's very devoted and although still somewhat anxious he pushes through it to do what is right. He actually ended up fulfilling a prophecy instead of the propheced cat because he just couldn't sit on his ass and let fate take course, instead deciding to do this shit himself.

Echosong: She's Foxspirit's mentor and just a big fluffy lovable grandma. Also she's a munchkin so she's just...really fucking tiny.

Oddpaw/belly: He's Foxspirit's apprentice and left his home Clan because of his abusive mum and the fact that Foxspirit was super kind to him and protected the lil kit. He actually didn't have a name for months and was apprenticed very late! He was a very sickly kitten so his bitch of a mum refused to name him or even take care of him, Storm Clan was lacking a med cat so Foxpaw and Echosong came there occasionally to help and Foxpaw helped to deliver the kittens and had to witness Ambergaze being a horrible mum. After she tried to give him some rude ass name Foxpaw chased her off and named the kitten himself, Oddkit after his odd eyes. After this Oddkit decided he wanted to be Foxpaw's future apprentice! He also got the suffix belly bc he's just...really round and soft. Another funfact, he is Thornstar's grandson so he is also related to Foxspirit.

Snowwhisker: Big fluff man, but slowly getting old. Treats Foxspirit somewhat like his grandson since he used to train his mum back in the day.

Mossclaw: She's a sphinx and used to be a rogue. How did a sphinx survive in cold mountains? I don't fucking know tbh. Anyways she's one of the main bads and would totally murder Foxspirit if given the chance.

Cheetahfur: Def the smartest med cat in the valley, she's also the mum friend of the group and the voice of reason. She's like Foxspirit's second mum tbh....or rather third mum. Fourth mum? He's got a lot of parents.

Rabbithop: Foxspirit's friend and Cheetahfur's apprentice, they're just a big lovable ball of baby. Born anxious sweetheart and will die anxious sweetheart, Foxspirit would literally die for them.

Curlywhisker: Ran away shortly after Foxpaw was apprenticed to raise her kittens away from her abusive ex. She's a single badass mama who would supple a bear for her babies.

Tigerpounce: A big, scary, muscular dude. Literally the least cat you'd expect to be a medicine cat, but despite his terryfing apperence he's a very gentle healer. Also a cat of very few words.

Eaglepaw and Hawkpaw: I'm putting them together because their funfact is the same. They're conjoined twins! They're connected by the hip so walking is a bit tricky but they manage. They look like mirror reflections of each other, their parents and mentor Tigerpounce are probably the only cats in their clan that can tell them apart they're so identical.

Six Baudelaires AU, Part Two {AO3} {Masterlist} {Part One}

Chapter Twenty-Nine → in which Solitude finally morphs into a reptile

Soli giggled as Violet’s makeup brush danced across her face.

“Hold still, this is gonna smudge.” Violet said.

She had already applied powder to the twins’ faces, and burn scars to her own, and now she was working on Solitude’s scales. Sunny was wrapped up in her fake beard, practicing growls, while Klaus and Nick were applying talcum to their hair to make it look white. Lilac was sitting beside Violet, designing fake, scary-looking tattoos up her arm. Most of the tattoos on her other arm, face and legs had already dried, so she was almost done. She had tied her hair into two buns on the top of her head, after slamming some powder onto it, and she was using her ribbon to tie up her dress underneath the large shirt.

“There.” Violet sat back, pushing some of the ginger wig out of her face; it was bobbed, but it still got into her eyes a little. “What do you think, Sol?”

Solitude turned to the phone booth, giggling as she stared at her scaly reflection in the glass. She let out a hiss, and then held out her hand for Babbitt, who leapt onto her shoulder and chirped their approval.

“Now,” Soli said, picking up the box of snakes, “Braid these in?”

Violet nodded, moving behind her and starting to braid in the rubber snakes. Nick came over to join her, and he said, “Your makeup looks good. You… look like you’ve actually been burned.”

“That’s good, I guess.” Violet sighed. “You and Klaus look unrecognizable.” She turned to her other brother, who was helping Lilac, and called, “Are you sure you don’t want your glasses?”

“I’ll be fine if I squint.” Klaus said. “I won’t be able to read, but… well, I won’t bump into anything.”

“I can be your eyes.” Nick said. “If you and Soli’ll be my emotional support.”

Solitude nodded and hissed again, trying to imitate a rattlesnake; she was doing pretty well.

“I think we’ve got the snakes.” Violet said, and she and Klaus scooted away from Soli, who once again checked her reflection in the telephone booth. “What do you think?”

Solitude hissed again and shook her head, which caused the snakes to bounce. She giggled and clapped, and then said, “Love it! Good snakes! Babbitt, make chirp?” Babbitt chirped, and Soli said, “Can you do it when I…” she tapped on the frog’s head, and in response, Babbitt chirped again. “Good Babbitt! Smart Babbitt!”

“Babbitt can hide in your pocket.” Lilac said, blowing on the black rose design she’d just painted. “Boys, do you think you can walk with one leg?”

“We’ll be fine.” Klaus said. “Just try to avoid washing off your makeup, or letting it peel. Same with you, Vi.”

“I’ll be fine.” Violet said. “Sunny, you think you can be a wolf puppy?”

Sunny growled.

“Alright, then.” Violet said.

“Are we sure we want to do this?” Lilac asked, staring down at her painted skin. “Freakshows are awful, horrible places, and it’s likely we… well, we won’t have a great time.”

“What choice do we have?” Violet said.

Nick slowly slid his hand into Klaus’s, and he said, “We’d better hurry.”

“What’s the rush?” Klaus said, staring at Sunny, who was rolling around in the dirt.

“Well, if they…” Nick shut his eyes. “We just… better get there before they drink too much, that’s all.”

“Why-?” Soli asked, looking confused.

“Hey, hey!” Nick forced a smile on his face. “You’re a snake now, remember? Hissing only.”

Soli beamed and giggled, and then hissed like a cobra.

“Alright, get into costume.” Lilac said, and hesitantly, Klaus and Nick struggled to get into one shirt. “Now, be careful, and if anything goes wrong, I’ll-”

“If anything goes wrong,” Violet interrupted, standing up and grabbing Soli’s hand, “We’ll deal with it together.”

Lilac hesitantly nodded, and then she grabbed Violet’s other hand. “Let’s… let’s go in for a job interview, huh?”  

They stared at each other, and then Klaus and Nick stepped forwards, stumbling slightly as they tried to get used to walking with one leg each. Sunny crawled forwards, still practicing her barks, and Solitude toddled around, hissing to herself.

They made it back over to the caravan, and Lilac took a deep breath, before knocking on the door.

“Now, remember,” Violet said to her, “Stay in character. You’re a punk.”

“Why didn’t you be the punk?”

“Shut up.”

The door opened, and everyone immediately straightened up and did their best not to look scared- which was quite easy for Solitude and Sunny, who were 100% convinced that this was the best plan ever.

The children found themselves face-to-face with Count Olaf, and for a moment, none of them could breathe.

Then Lilac took a deep breath, put a hand on her hip, and said, “You nerds still hiring?”

For a moment, they thought none of it had worked; Olaf just gave them a stare, and then a wicked smile.

Then, to their relief, he said, “Why, Madame Lulu! I believe some freaks have arrived for you!”

Nick shook slightly, grabbing onto Klaus’s hand under the shirt. Klaus squeezed it as they heard Madame Lulu call, “Oh! Well, please, allow them in, please!”

Lilac, both because she wanted to stay in character and because she was very sick of his shit, immediately pushed past Olaf, walking into the caravan as if she didn’t have a care in the world. Violet nervously followed, putting a hand over her false burn as if she was ashamed of it. Solitude and Sunny managed to crawl in, and then came Nick and Klaus, once Olaf had moved farther back inside. The caravan had become a bit crowded by this point, but at least everyone could get a decent look at each other.

The troupe looked a bit tipsy, and the siblings who thought to look around counted several empty bottles scattered around the floor. When Count Olaf sat back down, Esme flopped her head onto his shoulder, giggling slightly, while the other henchpeople and Lulu just scanned the Baudelaires.

“Well, they certainly seem freakish.” said the Bald Man.

“Horrific.” said a White-Faced Woman.

“Ghastly.” said the other White-Faced Woman.

Solitude hissed, and Klaus said, “We can hear you.”

“Well, you came to get hired for a freakshow,” Esme said, “What did you expect?”

“To get hired.” Lilac said, rolling her eyes.

“Well, then,” Lulu said, stepping forwards and looking a bit confused, “What exactly are you, please?”

“You can call me Babydoll.” Lilac said. She held out her arms. “My parents were tattoo artists and practiced on me, til they died.”

“Oh, in a fire?” asked the Hook-Handed Man.

Lilac shook her head. “They fell into a river and drowned.”

“Oh, how’d that happen?” asked a White-Faced Woman.

Lilac smirked, enjoying herself immensely. “I got sick of their shit and tied rocks to their boots.”

Surprisingly, the henchpeople looked a little startled at that, as did Lulu, but Esme laughed. “Sounds like my kind of girl!” she said. “I drowned an ex once. So did you, dear, right?”

Olaf was taking another swig of wine, so they couldn’t exactly see his reaction.

“Who’s that, then?” Esme asked, pointing to Violet, who’d been petting Sunny. She flinched and jumped to her feet. “Oh, Egad, what the hell happened to her face?”

Violet flinched again, trying to look shy. She said, only just loud enough to be heard, “I’m Beverly. My… um, my face burned off in an accident.”

“Yeah.” Lilac said, walking over and leaning onto Violet’s shoulder. “She was a kid, see, and her bro was playing with matches. Like we all do.”

The troupe nodded. “Yes, of course.” Olaf said.

“So, well, you can guess what happened.” Lilac shrugged. “Those losers over there,” she gestured to Nick and Klaus, “Are conjoined twins.”

“That means we were born stuck together.” Klaus said.

“We know what ‘conjoined twins’ are.” said a White-Faced Woman.

“Well, I’m Elliot,” Klaus said, “And this is my other head, Janus.”

“Nice to meet you.” Nick said, very quietly.

“And that down there,” Lilac said, pointing her thumb at Solitude, “Is our little pet gorgon. We call ‘er Euryale, cause her actual name is just a buncha hisses.”

Solitude giggled and let out a pretty good imitation of the Mamba du Mal, shaking her head so the rubber snakes looked like they were moving.

“See, it’s whatever that is.” Lilac said, as the troupe nervously scooted away from her.

“I thought gorgons were a myth.” Olaf said. “Like Giuseppe Verdi and Dewey Denouement.”

“Giuseppe Verdi is an Italian composer.” Klaus said without thinking.

“No one asked you, freak.” Olaf said.

Lilac quickly interrupted. “Well, yeah, we thought they were fake and all, but she came outta the woods with snake hair. Apparently the other gorgons think she’s a freak, too, cause she can’t turn people to stone. She can just look weird and make snake calls. All her snakes have names, too, but you don’t care, course.”

“Of course.” Olaf said.

“What’s that one?” asked the Hook-Handed Man, pointing a hook at Sunny. In response, she growled and jumped forwards, attempting to bite. He jumped back, startled.

“That’s Chabo the wolf baby.” Violet said.

“Her mother was a hunter and her father was a wolf she fell in love with.” Klaus added.

“I didn’t even know that was possible.” said the Bald Man.

“She bites and scratches a lot.” Lilac said. “These idiots learned that pretty quick, isn’t that right?”

“Please don’t remind us.” Violet said.

“Only person she doesn’t mess with is Euryale,” Lilac explained, “Cause her snakes bite. They ain’t poisonous, but they sure do hurt.”

Solitude hissed and shook her head, and then she poked her pocket, and Babbitt let out a loud chirp to add to the noise.

“Anyway, we don’t ask much for payment and shit.” Lilac said, rolling her eyes again. “We just need a place to sleep. And probably food. Chabo really tears her meat apart.”

“She can do that in front of an audience, please.” Lulu said. “People love seeing sloppy eaters, and we must always give the people what they want.”

“Oh, hey, the two-headed freak can eat something, too.” Olaf said. He grabbed an ear of corn and tossed it at Klaus and Nick. Nick flinched, so Klaus managed to catch it. “Eat this!”

Klaus and Nick shared a look, and then both struggled to push the ear of corn towards one of their mouths.

The troupe laughed, and the Baudelaires pretended not to be disgusted.

“So? Are we hired or not?” Lilac asked, still trying not to break character.

Lulu shrugged. “Madame Lulu does not see why not, please, so long as you can all fit into the freaks’ caravan, please. Go find it, please, while my Olaf and I talk about our act for tomorrow.”

“Whatever you say, boss girl.” Lilac said. She grabbed Violet’s arm and said, “Come on, Bev, move your sorry ass.”

“Okay, okay.” Violet muttered, snapping her fingers to signal the toddlers to follow her.

The second they were all out of the caravan, Klaus said, “That was humiliating.”

“That was awful.” Nick shuddered.

“Why did we decide this was my character again?” Lilac asked.

“I dunno,” Violet said, ripping herself away from Lilac’s grip, “I think you’re enjoying this a bit.”

“I am!” Sunny said.

“Chabo, only barks.” Klaus reminded her.

“Bark!” Sunny said, which meant, “I am!”

“Hiss!” said Soli.

“Okay, well, that worked better than expected. Let’s focus on that.” Lilac said. “Now we find the freaks’ caravan, sleep there, and figure out what Lulu tells Olaf tomorrow.”

“What if she tells him we’re here?” Violet asked.

“Then we set Chabo on the entire troupe.” Klaus suggested.

“You know,” Nick said, “I don’t need to sleep, I could spy on Lulu-”

“No, no.” Lilac said. “First of all, no. Second of all, you’re attached to Klaus, so double no.”

“But-” Nick began.

“Can we just find the caravan?” Violet asked. “It’s cold out here.”

Lilac sighed. “Yeah, sure. Come on, let’s go meet our new roommates.”

They finally managed to find the caravan that had been painted with the words House of Freaks on the side, and Lilac found the door, knocking gently. “Hello?” she called.

“Stay in character.” Violet muttered.

The door swung open before Lilac could retort, and they looked up to see a tired-looking man with a hunchback. He was holding a candle to help him see in the dark, and he said, “Oh, excuse me. Who are you?”

“We’re your new roomies.” Lilac said.

“Um, we’re the new freaks.” Violet said, trying once again to sound shy. “Madame Lulu told us to come here.”

“Oh!” said the hunchback, and he smiled. “Well, it certainly is nice to make new friends! Come on inside! I’m Hugo.”

“Babydoll.” Lilac said, walking in and trying not to be too rude or too polite.

“Um, I’m Beverly.” Violet said, following her closely.

“I’m Janus,” Nick said, “And this is my other head, Elliot.”

“Those are Euryale the Gorgon and Chabo the Wolf Baby.” Klaus said, as they all made their way inside.

“Wow! We got a lot at once!” Hugo said. “How did you all find each other?”

“It’s a long story that nobody cares about.” Lilac said, sitting on a table and glancing around the caravan, which she was surprised to see was very tidy. “Who’re all you, then?”

Violet and Sunny leaned against a small stove, and Nick and Klaus stumbled to a collection of potted plants. Solitude, meanwhile, wandered over to a large collection of hammocks, two of which were filled. A woman peered down at them and said, “Oh! New coworkers!” She jumped down, pushing on another hammock. “Kevin, get up! New friends!”

A man groaned and sat up. “Why’d you wake me up, Colette? I was having a dream that there was nothing wrong with me.” He glanced at Klaus and Nick and said, “Egad, you two have it as bad as I do!”

“Be polite, Kevin.” Hugo said. “These are… I’m sorry, what are your names again?”

Lilac groaned. “I’m Babydoll, the tattooed teen. That’s Beverly the burned.”

Violet waved awkwardly, gesturing to her scar.

“That’s Elliot and Janus, the two-headed freak.” Lilac said. “The little gorgon who went to say hello to you is Euryale, and at Bev’s feet is Chabo the Wolf Baby.”

“Wow. A wolf baby!” said Colette.

“Is she dangerous?” asked Kevin.

“She doesn’t like to be teased.” Nick warned.

“Neither do I.” Kevin said. “But wherever I go, I hear people whispering, ‘There goes Kevin, the ambidextrous freak.’”

“Ambidextrous?” Klaus asked. “Doesn’t that just mean you’re both right and left-handed?”

“Ah, so you’ve heard of me.” Kevin said. “Did you come all the way to the Hinterlands to laugh at the ambidextrous freak?”

“No.” Klaus said quickly. “I just learned the word from a book.”

“I figured you’d be smart.” Hugo said. “After all, you’ve got two brains.”

“Yes, that’s much more useful than what I have.” Colette said sadly. “I’m Colette, and if you’re going to laugh at me, I’ d prefer you to it now and get it over with.”

“Why would we laugh?” Violet asked, confused.

“Well, I’m a contortionist.” Colette said. “I can bend my body into all sorts of unusual positions. Look.”

She sighed and then bent her head down between her legs, then curled up into a tiny ball on the floor. She pushed one hand against the ground, lifting her body up on just a few fingers, braiding her hair into a spiral. Then she flipped into the air, balanced on her head, and then twisted her arms and legs together.

“Wow!” Sunny shrieked.

“That’s amazing.” Violet said. “Chabo thinks so, too.”

“That’s very polite of you to say,” Colette said, moving back to sit normally, “But I’m very ashamed of being a contortionist.”

“If you’re ashamed of it,” Nick asked, “Why don’t you just move your body normally, instead of doing contortions?”

“Because I’m in the House of Freaks.” Colette shrugged. “Nobody would pay to see me move normally.”

“It’s an interesting dilemma,” Hugo said. “All three of us would rather be normal people than freaks, but tomorrow morning, people will be waiting in the tent to see us all act in unnatural and strange ways. Madame Lulu says we must always give people what they want, and they want freaks performing on a stage.”

“Maybe what they want is wrong.” Lilac said, her voice growing soft. “Maybe you deserve better.”

“Well,” Colette said, “Maybe tomorrow a miracle will happen and we’ll all get the things we wish for most.”

Under their shirt, Klaus grabbed Nick’s hand, and Sunny leaned against Violet as Solitude sat and patted her pocket. “We all can hope.” was all Lilac said.

“Wake up! Wake up!”

“Son of a bitch.” Klaus muttered, as they heard the sound of metal pots banging together.

“Not again…” Violet groaned, sitting up and quickly checking her makeup in the mirror, pleased to see it remained.

Hugo and Kevin had set up hammocks for them, and though it was still a bit crowded, they’d all been able to sleep a little. Solitude slept at Klaus and Nick’s feet, Babbitt hiding under a pillow, and Sunny slept beside Violet, who now carried her to the ground as she growled.

“That must be one of the Count’s friends.” said Kevin, jumping down from his bunk.

“The Count?” Lilac asked, acting curious as she made sure Klaus and Nick got down okay.

“Yes, Count Olaf. He stops by to see Madame Lulu a lot.” Hugo said. “Why, last time he was here, he had-”

The door opened, and the Hook-Handed Man peered in, looking very cross. “Wake up!” he shouted. “Wake up and hurry up! I’m in a very bad mood and have no time for your nonsense. Madame Lulu and Count Olaf are running errands, I’m in charge of the House of Freaks, the crystal ball revealed that one of those blasted Baudelaire parents is still alive, and the gift caravan is almost out of figurines!”

The Baudelaires froze. “What did you say?” Lilac said, breathless.

‘I said the gift caravan is almost out of figurines.” the Hook-Handed Man said. “But that’s not your concern. Be ready in fifteen minutes!”

Daddy A-Z: Taeyong

Disclaimer: I couldn’t find the original poster this came from, but I got this from philanddanxreader, I didn’t come up with this.

Donate | Masterlist

A = Announcement.- How do you tell him and the world that you’re expecting? The second the test is positive, you have to tell Taeyong, because knowing him, the first signs of pregnancy aka morning sickness, he’s ready to rush you to the ER so you might as well just spill the beans. Telling him is simple, just telling him works fine and then you can deal with the hyper Taeyong that comes after the announcement and then crying Taeyong when it hits him he’s gonna be a daddy. Telling the world, on the other hand, probably won’t happen for a while. Taeyong’s pretty private with his life, so it’ll probably be kept a secret until there’s no way to hide it. To be honest with you, it’ll probably be one of the boys that fuck up and let it slip that mommy taeyong is going to evolve into daddy Taeyong.

B = Books.- Did he read the books? We know Taeyong’s a reader, and especially in moments when he needs guidance (i.e. the book about self love that he carried around when he was getting hate) so Taeyong will 100% buy out the child development and parenthood section at the book store and uses them as step by step for being a good dad.

C = Cuddles.- Who cuddles the baby more?  Taeyong, for sure. Seeing as he says he can’t sleep without holding something, I can see Taeyong being the dad that falls asleep in the rocking chair with his offspring and just snoring away with the happy baby in his arms. Honestly, you’ll probably have to pry the baby from his hands, he’s pretty much a conjoined twin with his baby.

D = Daddy.- His reaction to being called Daddy and it setting in.  He’s already the mom of the group, so transitioning into being dad isn’t hard. But the realization that ‘holy shit this isn’t jisung....this is mine. i made this. f u c k’ wont truly set in until the baby’s born and he’s holding it and seeing the tiny human he helped make in his very hands. It’ll hit him like a bus and he’s crying and babbling about how he’s going to protect it from the world and love it with his entire heart.

E = Empty.- Who goes to the store when you guys run out of supplies? While he’s insanely attached to the baby, he’s very adamant about helping you in any way. Need more diapers? ‘I’ll get it stay here you shouldn’t be moving.’ ‘taeyong it’s been 3 months i’m fine.’ ‘s h h h h h ‘

F = Feeding time- Who does feeding time? Reading all those books, Taeyong’s made it a mission to save feeding time for mommy-baby bonding time, so he let’s you have the reigns with feeding your child. But only with the agreement he gets to make the airplane noises for the spoon.

G = Grumpy baby. - Who is better at dealing with a grumpy baby?  Taeyong’s insanely youthful and practically a kid a heart himself, so no one can relate to a baby more than Taeyong. He’s a master at dumb faces to make the baby all smiles and giggles in 4.81 seconds. He’s like the sun baby from tellatubies to his kid. 

H = How?- how many kids does he want? Basing how close he is with his noona, I can imagine Taeyong wanting the same relationship for his kids, so I can definitely see him having two at the very least, but likely having 3+ if he can convince you on it. Especially being the leader and nct dream, he’s confident that he can handle more than one kid easily.

J = Jokes.- best dad joke?  "Did you hear about the restaurant on the moon? Nice food, no atmosphere.”

K = Kisses.- His favorite place to kiss the baby.  Taeyong is such a tummy raspberry dad, and y’all know it. It’s adorable, it’s sweet, and he gets to hear his lil mini giggling up a storm.

L = Little.- How he feels when he holds the baby for the first time. The entire world stops for him when the nurse placed his baby in his arms. Seeing the little squirmy thing that’s half him and half his love is just a punch in the face with how much he loves you and loves you even more for giving him this tiny human he’ll cherish for the rest of his days. He’s just emotional as hell, crying his eyes out, and full of love. 

M = Mommy.- what does he call you?  He just plain calls you mommy. Literally the second you gave birth, your name doesn’t exist in his mind, his name doesn’t exist. It’s just ‘mommy and daddy’.

N = Nappies.- who deals with the really bad ones?  Honestly I feel like Taeyong would pass out at the sight, but he’s very clean and lowkey a germaphobe and knowing that’s what is touching his baby is enough to make him arm himself with a pack of wipes and a face mask, and go to battle.

O = Onesies- Who likes to dress the baby in ridiculous outfits?  Taeyong is a stylish bish so he’s very picky over kid clothes, so it’ll be you that dresses the baby is dorky kiddy clothes and Taeyong’s just standing there like ‘ok i hate it......but it is cute and im mad about it’

P = Pet names- names he calls the baby.  Taeyong almost always calls his mini his ‘little sunshine’, because let’s be real, if it’s part taeyong you know that kid is going to light up a room. i know it. you know it. taeyong knows it.

Q = Questions.- How many questions does he ask the nurse?  He 100% brought a list of stuff to ask, and it’s a mile long. Even after reading the books and he know basically anything there is to know about caring and raising a kid, he needs to hear it from someone as qualified as a nurse because ‘any idiot can write a book how do i know if its wrong?! i have to ask!!’

R = Rely- what is the biggest thing you rely on each other for? Honestly it’s just support. Having a kid is horrible, and you think it’s going to be easy with two people, but no one tells you how long it takes to recover from giving birth, and it’s hard to pull your weight in the relationship. Taeyong needs assurance he’s doing everything right, and you need help with basically everything. You two balance out the stress, you get to heal, taeyong gets emotional support. 

S = Sleep duty. - who gets up when it’s really late at night?  To keep it fair, you do have the ‘it’s your turn’ system for night issues, so it bounces back and forth between you and Taeyong. But a lot of the times, if you don’t wake up on the first nudge, he just thinks you need the rest and handles business himself.

T = Trepidation.- fears as a new parent.  Taeyong’s biggest fear is he’s going to mess the kid up for life. He’s not completely sure of himself, how’s he supposed to raise and mentor another human that looks up to him for guidance? He’s just terrified that he’s going to mess up, and the kid’s going to be damaged in some bizarre way, but let’s be real, he’ll be a fantastic dad.

U = Ultra sounds.- His reactions to the ultrasounds. Instant tears. He’s immediately sobbing and eyes just glued to the blurry image of his tiny baby growing and healthy as can be. He’s gotten a billion copies of the ultrasound pictures and sends them to literally everyone. His parents, sister, every member, all the sm workers, Taeyong just wants to show the world his most proud accomplishment. 

V = Values.- what is the most important value he wants to teach your child. Being Taeyong, I’m pretty sure the thing he’ll instill in his kid most is self love and never doubting yourself. He, even as successful as he is and continues to grow, is still very self conscious and not sure of himself, and he doesn’t want that for his kids. They’re capable of anything and everything and no matter what, he’ll always love his kids and he wants them to be sure of that and themselves.

W = Water.- Who gives the babe the baths?  It’s a joint effort, because honestly you’re washing the babe, and Taeyong’s just taking pictures and videos to show the members and keep forever. He’s the embarrassing parent that takes the bath videos. 

X = X-mas- what do you guys plan for the holidays?  Holidays are always split into different sections, the week during holidays is a mess because you have to bounce from your family, to Taeyong’s family, to with the members, and parties and everything. But the holiday itself, actual Christmas morning is just between you, Taeyong and the kids. Taeyong wants to at least have a moment as a family alone.

Y = Yelling.- How many fights do the two of you get in?  Taeyong it’s pretty calm and doesn’t get agitated in the sense of it leading to actual fighting, so I imagine if any fights break out, it’s more you just yelling at him while he listens quietly and prob crying he’s not a fighter, he’s a lover.

Z = Zoo- How crazy is the house after the birth? Taeyong is sort of a neat freak, so if he can keep a dorm room with 9+ grown boys clean, he can definitely keep a house with just you, him and kids clean easily. Lucky you.

What are Sirens and why are they important in Borderlands 3?

What are Sirens and why are they important? Gearbox director of narrative, Randy Varnell, told me that Sirens will play a big role in Borderlands 3. Sirens have always been special, however, it has never been explained why and in Borderlands 3 we are going to find out a lot more about them. What are sirens? Sirens are exclusively woman, they have mystical powers that exceed those of someone that’s from a normal humanoid race. In an audio log of handsome Jack, we find out that there can only be six sirens at once in the universe. They are recognizable through the tattoos they have on their body. The Siren tattoos only appear on one half of the body and glow up when using their powers. Eridium Eridium is a new element that can be found in Borderlands 2. Throughout the game, this ore served as a rare currency. It was released onto Pandora after the events of the first Borderlands. In that game, the Vault Hunters opened an Eridian Vault.  Eridium also greatly enhanced Siren powers when they consumed this mineral. Because of this correlation, Patricia Tannis suggests that there could be a connection between Sirens, the Vaults, and the Eridians. However, a noteworthy thing to mention is that this connection between the element and Sirens does not apply to individual Siren. In one of the ECHO logs, you can hear Angel mention that Maya has no previous connection to Eridium. Count the Sirens One of the secret codes that were hidden in the Borderlands 3 trailers was, count the Sirens. This is a clear indication of their importance. Who are the Sirens in the Borderlands universe? Lilith Lilith is one of the playable characters in the original Borderlands and she is also the first siren we got introduced to. In the first game, Lilith is able to Phasewalk, she can leave this dimension for a short time. Upon entering our dimension again she can create a nova blast, which we see her do in Borderlands 2 and 3. Commandant Steele (dead) Steele was the main antagonist in the original Borderlands, however, her storyline got a bit lost during development as gearbox needed to cut the 3rd act of the game. While Steele had the siren tattoos we never saw them in action as she simply died while opening the vault. She was taken out by one of the tentacles of the destroyer who was imprisoned by the vault. Maya Maya is the second playable siren, she is one of the six vault hunters in Borderlands 2. Maya has the ability to Phaselock her enemies. Angel (dead) Angel, who was handsome Jack’s daughter, also turned out to be a siren. Her power was called Phaseshift, with this, she was able to interact with computer terminals at a distance. When you meet up with Angel you find out that she is imprisoned by her father and commits suicide for the greater good. Amara Amara is the new playable Siren in Borderlands 3. She is a confident, capable brawler with the ability to summon ethereal fists, Amara uses her Siren powers to smash her enemies. From an echolog  in the Commander Lilith DLC, we learned that she has been actively fighting as a Siren during the events of Borderlands 2. Tyreen Tyreen is one of the Calypso Twins, who are the main antagonists in Borderlands 3. It’s confirmed that she is also a siren and she wants to open up all the Vaults and claim all their powers. Her motivation is unclear at the moment. We do have the hidden message that mentions; Honor the Father. Troy Troy is the weird one of the bunch. He clearly has Siren tattoos. However, as previously stated, Siren powers have always been exclusive to women. How is it possible that Troy gained these runes? We know that Tyreen can take powers and claim them for her own. Is she also able to give these powers to others? I have been scratching my head about this for a long time. I considered them being twins and therefore shared some of the same cells. But this would be more likely when you have identical twins and that’s clearly not the case. Is the blood that runs through the babies and the mother the connection. Maybe. But then in a recent interview with Borderlands 3’s Creative Director, Paul Sage,  we learned that Troy and Tyreen are conjoined twins. This also explains why Troy has 1 mechanical arm. They were actually linked to each other. Ava Then there is Ava, the little girl that hangs around Maya all the time. I noticed that a lot of people think that she is also a Siren or someone that is learning to be a Siren. My findings currently suggest that Ava isn’t a Siren. However, Gearbox is very mysterious about her.  I like to see a plot twist here and be surprised. Are Sirens Born? This ties into the whole Ava story arc. Are Sirens born? If you ask this question to a Gearbox Developer, they will say that’s a really good question. However, they won’t give you a definitive answer and refer back to, Sirens are very important in Borderlands 3. That said in an interview with Borderlands 3 writer, Danny Homan,  ScreenRant asked ‘if existing people can become Sirens’. Um, that’s an interesting question. I mean, there’s a lot of ways that someone can become a Siren. It’s not a de facto X-Men kind of thing. There’s some different conditions that kind of arise. Yeah, Sirens are unique and I feel like we like to keep it a little amorphous. What we like the most is when fans kind of create their own myths and stories about how this kind of stuff happens. As a writer we try not to definitively say one thing because there’s a lot possible.  Danny Homan Again while we don’t get a definitive answer here. This also reminds me of Star Wars The Phantom Menace released. Back then George Lucas tried to explain the origins of the ‘Force’ and not everyone was happy with the whole midi-chlorian count thing. Leaving it in the middle and not defining it is probably a good thing. This keeps things mysterious and a lot of escape routes for future titles. Siren Timeline Looking at all the currently known Sirens and their (estimated) ages, I’m running into an issue. Because if Sirens are born as babies then Gearbox might already be cheating. In this case, Troy would be the 7th Siren and there can only be 6 in the universe.  Because Ava was alive before the events of the original Borderlands and wasn’t born after the death of Commandant Steele, she cannot be the replacement Siren of Steele in that sense. Transferable Powers We know that Tyreen can someone else’s claim powers for her own. And if Sirens are not born, do these powers manifest in a person. Are the powers a gift or maybe a parasite that need a new host from time to time.  We know that Lilith had her Siren powers as a kid as she was teased at school for having them.  Maya was identified as a Siren when she was an infant. However, when we look at Angel there is a photo of her in Jack’s office that shows her without tattoos. Did Angel obtain her powers later in life or is this just an ‘oopsie’ by Gearbox? It’s currently not known how the others got their powers.
