tell me about dallas and houston brother headcanons so i can FINALYL WRITE THEM

YESSSS IM SHAKING THEM!!! I looove thinking about their frayed brotherly bond but I didn’t really wanna put much of that in Houston’s or Dallas’ headcanons, glad I have an excuse to write about this seperately

i’m coming up with these on the spot but knowing the nature of how posts about them go, this may very likely be angsty (it’s good for the story tho so i don’t really care, you have been warned)

This is a long post!!!

Headcanons:

They had a messy home life during their childhood, their father left a few years after Houston’s birth and after that, their mother became emotionally unavailable, leading to her being neglectful, ultimately leaving Houston in Dallas’ care

Because of that, they had a strong sibling bond, even if it was sometimes difficult, it was like the two of them against the world

Dallas usually hung out around shady people, therefore picking up smoking from them as a young adult, those people eventually roped him into the Chicago mob

After joining the mob, he wanted to keep Houston safe from the mess he was in, he abandoned him completely, thinking it’s the only way to keep him out of harms way

Houston never knew about Dallas joining the mob, all he knew is one day his older brother never returned home. He couldn’t help but think he did something bad to make him leave without saying a word

As Houston grew older, that thought of him being the reason Dallas left dissipated and instead turned into resentment towards him. He trusted him with everything he had and he just disappeared. The betrayal resulted in him building walls around himself, developing trust issues and avoiding closeness/intimacy as a whole

Houston learning to raise himself caused him to feel a constant need to be independent, so as soon as he was old enough he applied for jobs, but due to not being able to hold one for long, he turned to a life of crime, resulting in a lot of enemies and loan sharks on his tail

Dallas by that time was leading the Payday gang, after Hoxton’s arrest he caught word of his younger brother also taking on a life of crime due to struggling financially. He invited him to join the gang in order to have a member in place of Hoxton and in hopes of making up for all the lost years. Houston took the opportunity but only as a last resort to escape his loan sharks

Dallas is desperately trying to apologise for leaving him behind and get to know about his brother and his life again, Houston remains closed off for a long time and avoids Dallas whenever he can, trying to keep their relationship professional. In reality, he’s afraid of getting close with his brother again, because he doesn’t want to be left behind or feel hurt by him again

Even after Houston warmed up to the gang and got used to the idea of his brother being around, he still isn’t fond of him referring to him as “little brother” or “Franklin”, trying to talk to him about his personal life or even the occasional squeeze of the shoulder.

As much as they see eachother as strangers, deep down they still care for eachother and don’t want to get seperated again. Dallas only had his brother’s best interests at heart and didn’t realise how much his actions could hurt Houston. They both wish they could be as close as they were once upon a time. Maybe one day, Dallas will build up the courage to apologise for the past and Houston will trust Dallas again.

First time playing BG3 and gosh, I love Minthara SO MUCH.

Not only she is amazing example of how narratively include evil character in good-sided party without making them a murder hobo, but also… it’s so refreshing to see a companion who won’t (and, honestly, don’t want nor need to) change by our influence. My character is absolutely gold-hearted hero (the way I got her was my determination to knock out as much enemies as I can bc my Tav doesn’t like killing that much, ESPECIALLY their own kind), she is pragmatic power-hungry noble but we still have to find a middle ground to help each other in our more or less same goal.

Her scene at the end of act 2 is so beautifully made. The only thing I’m really sad about is that none of answers options fit the narrative I wanna create and in contrast with her lines sounds really dumb.

Honestly wish she wasn’t a secondary companion TT

PLEASE DO NOT GIFT ME BADGES

Tumblr is getting rid of avatars and no longer showing where a reblog comes from in post headers to “afford more room for badges.”

I always felt kinda bad when I was gifted badges and then didn’t use them, cuz people spent actual money on them. So I’m asking, please do not gift me badges, or any other tumblr merch for that matter.

I threw them a bone last year and paid for the ad-free because the ads and blazed softcore porn on the app were infuriating, but I’m canceling it. They’re not getting anything from me anymore. I’ll have to switch back to using the Firefox mobile browser. Hopefully the new dash un-fuckers that are going around will work on mobile.

can i be honest with you guys? i'm gonna like arcane season two, even if some of the writing is bad. seriously i'm enjoying myself even if i think some of the character arcs are wonky of some conflicts needed more time to develop

Hi!

I just read a very funny fic 'Much ado about nothing' by Fire_lily and Violet_20 on AO3 and I was wondering... how do you think Sanji (and by the other guys) would behave when the girls are on their periods?

Okay, yeah, it was really funny. I often think about this, honestly, ngl. And you know how much I tend to write because I'm a menace to society, so I'll try to keep it brief. Btw, assume all the guys here are cis men (which hurts, because I'd rather die than say Usopp, Luffy and Zoro have dicks. But okay. Let's say they do) and that Nami is the only one in her period (because I think Robin is trans and also she has been dealing with pain so much on her own that even if she had her period, the crew wouldn't even notice. Nami, Franky, Jinbe, and Brook would be the only ones knowing).

Chopper is the one explaining what a period is, by the way, because these idiots know the basics but not much and I think they could use some health classes? Like, seriously, it'd be nice.

Luffy: Doesn't understand what the fuck is a period (Makino explained it. His ass didn't listen). If Nami is bleeding, can't Chopper cure her? Oh, he can't? Is she sick? Is she going to die? No? She's fine, then? But she needs them to give her a break because even if she isn't sick, she's still not going through the best time. It's uncomfortable and she feels bad and sensitive. I think Luffy would have a lot of questions and he would ask shamelessly about them. And he would also try to be considerate and share his food with Nami and cause less trouble. I know he's chaotic but he's always really nice when a crewmate is in pain, and if Nami (his navigator. His Nami!!!) is feeling bad, he'll do whatever he can to help her. If she has cramps he'll probably stay beside her and sleep with her and cuddle. He's actually worried sick even if she tells him she's fine.

Zoro: He doesn't really give a fuck. Kuina explained what periods were to him and how unfair it was and he agreed. It is unfair. It is fucked up. They shouldn't go through that. He respects Nami a lot for being able to work and yell and live normally while she's bleeding and cramping (I mean, that's HIS normal state, but Nami isn't like him). So he just supports her from a distance and if she needs anything he'll just try to help and that's it. He's like?? He's normal about it. Just a thing the body does. Everyone thinks it's such a big deal, but it's not.

Usopp: He grew up with Kaya. I don't need to say anything else. He's always complaining about Nami being louder than usual or oversensitive and saying that she doesn't need to blame them for being in pain, but he only says it because they're best friends, lmao. "Girl, I know you're in pain but it's not my fault. Chill. Do you want a chocolate bar?" and he's pretty much the only one allowed to keep her company when she's stressed and too angry to deal with the others. Bestie privileges. He knows how to make her happy. The perks of having a childhood sweetheart and taking care of her when she was on her period (she was just emotional, though, not like Nami who is a ticking time bomb depending on the month). He always has pads, pills, and distractions ready for Nami. He's just there and normal about it and helping her out.

Sanji: Fucking dramatic. I can't stand him. I'm gonna throw bricks at him. I love him, but he's either the most respectful gentleman on earth or the weirdest guy ever about this. He's probably both at the same time. He's SO annoying, oh my god. He keeps wanting to do everything for Nami, and okay, the food, tea, and extra snacks are fine. But it's just too much. He's the one crying all the time like "WHY DID GOD CURSE OUR MELLORINES WITH SUCH PAIN?????????? OH NAMI-SWAN IF I COULD TAKE YOUR SUFFERING I WOULD!!!!!! YOU ARE SO BRAVE FOR THIS!!!!!" and Usopp is the one actually throwing stuff at him and kicking him out of the girl's room when he comes to bring some snacks and won't shut up. He's,, Overly helpful. He has good intentions, really, but Nami is just on her period. She can still move and do her own things, thank you very much. I think he learns to be more normal about it with time, though. And he's just this way with Nami, probably (I say this bc I'm writing a Sanuso fic with Trans Usopp on his period and I swear Sanji is normal about it).

Chopper: I mean. It's the doctor. He keeps an eye on Nami and takes care of her. He's gentle and always tries to bring her painkillers if it's too much. Reminds her to drink a lot of water and eat properly but never too much because she could get sick! He's the cutest, gentlest thing ever.

Franky: Another dramatic man. He's just like Sanji, except that instead of crying because Nami has to go through this, he keeps saying she's SUPEERRRRR COOL AND STRONG FOR DEALING WITH THIS. But it's only for a few seconds and then he's just acting like a dad. Which includes helping if needed but then asking the weirdest questions to see if Nami is alright.

Brook: He would be the sweetest thing ever. But also, we gotta admit that he's still a perv and would ask to see Nami's underwear anyway. But leaving that aside, yeah, he's sweet. He offers tea and gentle music while she works and tries to be a gentleman. He makes a few jokes here and there, Nami hits him, the usual stuff. But he's a sweet grandpa so he's just there being nice. But, y'know, Brook is always nice to be around. He just offers his help more and often asks Nami if she's feeling okay.

Jinbe: He doesn't quite understand what he's supposed to do, but he just doesn't get in Nami's way if she's mad, and if she's sensitive he'll try to make the crew shut up for a while. Gentle older man. He always tries to make peace around the place, but pretty much like Brook and he also tries not to overstep. He asks Zoro if he should be doing something, and Zoro just shrugs and says to let Nami do her own thing.

Having grand narrative dreams is all fun and games until you wake up and can barely remember them anymore

[fooltofancy]

the problem with writing xiv things. is that i start and then a hundred or so words in i inevitably think "it would be so much easier to gpose around this dialogue," and then i never write that thing again.

Seating: COMPLETE

Now all I need are two doorways on either side and I’m groovy and can put this stupid, godforsaken Minitru interior model to rest

I am SO glad this is almost over because now I can work on the fun models like Charrington’s shop and the street it’s on, as well as the bar, and the bunker at the beginning :)

My internet has been investigated by a professional.

There might be something weird with the big cables (to quote the guy: the "inner-pair" and "outer-pair" of the eight-cables are of different lengths, but by all accounts still work just fine), but my own equipment has at least passed (no extra-fine for crying wolf for me).

The weird stability-thing continues to be weird. And current test is for them to switch my internet-provider (internet-provider has a use-contract with the cable-operators, who are the ones investigating) over the weekend. See if the problem is on that end.

It's possible that this is the case (at which point I guess I'll try to switch permanently), or that it's that weird cable-length resulting in the problem (which is... a whole different can of worms).
