#my mom and brother treated her badly too

[sga-owns-my-soul]

ignore my rant but it’s fucking HILARIOUS to me that i spent me ENTIRE childhood being blame for all the issues in the family bc i’m ‘too sensitive and over emotional’ and when i said we should get family therapy bc we didn’t know how to talk to each other i was attacked for it and now my family barely talks to each other and when we do it’s a huge fight and every interaction is like pulling teeth bc they all have decades of unresolved issues with each other than everyone refuses to talk about and now i’m the one who gets to try to keep things together when i tried to fucking deal with this all 12 FUCKING YEARS AHO

My simple view on things sometimes is really a problem and I forget majority of people dont follow my logic....

„Please Lt, ah beg ye oan mah haun 'n' knees fur it.“

„No.“ The conversation went like this for hours, with Johnny begging on his knees for Ghost to go on a date with you.

„Please, Lt.“

„How did that even happen, Johnny?“

„Weel, me 'n' Garrick thought yi'll need tae git leid, sae we made a fake Instagram 'n' wrote bonnie girls pretending we wur ye.“

„I don't need to get laid, so tell her I postpone.“ He certainly needed a good lay, but that wasn’t something he could tell Soap. He was his CO officer after all, and the way he intruded on his privacy made him want to rip off Soap's mohawk and make him eat the hair.

„A dinnae want ye tae kip wi' her, a'm wantin' ye tae gang oan a ill date wi' her 'n' mak' her forgoat ye,“ the Scotsman said, letting his true intentions slowly slip.

„You want me to treat her badly? What's wrong with you, MacTavish?“ Simon Riley was a lot, but not a man who treated a bird badly, or else his mom would come back from the grave just to swat him, and he would have deserved that hit.

„Please, Lt.“ Johnny begged, the despair visible in his icy eyes.

„Ye like her?“ And by Soap's stunned reaction, Simon knew everything he needed to know. That idiot pretended to be him, made this naive girl want him, and fell in love with her. And now he can't have her because she is head over heels, but not with Johnny.

„Yes, please, Lt.“

„No.“

„I’ll give you my ration of tea for the next three months.“ That was something Simon couldn’t resist. Extra Earl Grey—he did worse things for less.

„Okay, I’ll go on a date with her and let her down slowly for you to comfort her.“

---------

Simon believed himself to be a determined man who doesn’t change his opinion just because of a good-looking woman. Well, this changed when he saw you waiting at the bar for him, all dolled up. Your dress matched your heels and the color of your nails; you prepared yourself for him—just for him. That was new. And when you hugged him tight as a greeting and the smell of cookies wafted into his rugged nose, Johnny's little crush was forgotten.

He was sure you wouldn’t mind; you were here for him and not for Johnny. He was better looking after all, he thought.

All he could do was listen to your sweet voice as you explained your job with excitement, how your nose scrunched when you laughed, and how you threw him those fuck-me eyes. He was curious if you’d give Johnny the same eyes if your hand touched his abs too, if you chewed on your red lips.

-----------------------------

Johnny was on his way to play the knight in shining armor for you, comforting you after the big brute broke your innocent heart. But when he walked past Ghost's room, he could hear the desperate pleas and whimpers from a woman.

„Si, please, need more,“ you moaned, trying to get him to finally fuck you after he gave you orgasm after orgasm.

„Need you to be ready for me, love.“

…

„So big, Si.“

„You can take it, love.“

And in that moment, Johnny realized he was betrayed by his best friend and brother-in-arms.

How will companions react to a teen!Warden? Will their behavior change or they will act the same way as with an adult!Warden? Who would like to be friends with Warden and who's more annoyed by teens? Sorry if my request is too long:(

Alistair: He always wanted a sibling in some ways. There's something nice about the idea of having someone that depends on him and the Warden becomes a younger sibling so fast he gets a bit scared. Alistair wants to so badly steer them in the right direction- and he very easily falls into that role of the cool older brother. Honestly he kind of lets them get away with way too much just because they're younger but eh- he's not here to be a dad let's be honest. Leliana: Honestly she's kind of excited. Teenagers are always some of the most creative people in terms of problem solving and they have the ego and gumption that rivals most politically inclined adults. She for sure leans into the big-sister role that she finds herself in. She is a confidant, someone who listens and gives advice when asked. Also the person who pretend she doesn't see anything if you don't want her to. Loghain: Only one internal thought- what the fuck? He is so confused. Like- Loghain can't even be angry, he's just confused. Why the fuck is a teenager this competent? Since when were Grey Wardens below the legal drinking limit? There's such a mix of feelings that anger never even bubbles to the surface; he just becomes an exasperated dad in the funniest way imaginable. He hates this, he doesn't want this but it's not like Alistair or Morrigan is going to tell the kid off. Morrigan: She is so actively displeased she may as well just have even more of a permanent frown. She's not bad with kids and she would argue she can handle teens even better; but really? A teenager? She just sighs, rolls her eyes and makes sure they're not more than an arm's reach away when they're in major cities and anyone who even so much as raises their voice at them- it's on sight. Oghren: This man- does not know what to do. He isn't exactly the most stable person to put anyone around; much less a teenager. There's a lot of squabbling and stupid fights. Teenagers like pushing boundaries and Oghren likes pretending he is unbothered until he no longer is. It takes a LONG time to find a stability that actually works on the road between the two but hey- he doesn't mind teaching the kid a trick or two. Shale: Could care less, let's be honest. Just more inclined to not take you as seriously initially but eh- humans tend to exceed all odds. Sten: It's a big of a weird situation. In some ways- he likes the initiative the Warden is showing at a young age. After all, it's not like age actually decides your competence in battle - however he really could do without the whole mood swings and feeling on top of the world thing. He doesn't baby them whatsoever- just treats them like he would any teen within the Qunari. Wynne: If the Warden didn't want a mom figure- they should've stayed out of Wynne's sight. She is ON THAT. She does not mind being the bad guy unlike Alistair and is here to ensure the Warden survives this Blight. She's soft, comforting, nurturing- and also willing to put her hands on her hips and stare them down with a look that would make gods shake. Zevran: You know that older brother or uncle that teaches you how to pick locks and steal cars? Yeah, that's him. Zevran is actually the one who seems the most upset visibly that they're doing all of this so young- but he takes it in stride. He keeps them within arm's length, his protective nature is always a silent one. He is pissed when he finds out he was hired to kill a child though.

Thinking abt my AU nina with workaholic parents . Raising chris, no attention or supervision, mom falls asleep watching true crime shows that nina gets fascinated with a bit too young. When she starts getting bullied and acting out at school, her parents are barely there to defend or discipline her.

She seeks attention from external sources and everything gets worse. She starts drinking and smoking to show that she’s cool, that people should like her, that she can fit in even if it’s the “wrong crowds.” Just digs her own grave even further. Until Jeff’s case goes viral and she’s fascinated by how he “handled his bullies” in comparison to herself. She cuts that little smile into her cheeks after months of deteriorating and spiraling down a JTK rabbit hole, and that’s when her parents realized how badly they fucked up. But instead of giving her the care and attention a teenager needs, they send her off to her grandparents in Mississippi. “They’re retired and old and patient, they can handle this better than us.” Thousands of miles away from them, thousands of miles closer to where Jeff ended up.

And her grandparents really pull the chain and try to get Nina in line. Force makeup on her so the smile scars aren’t visible, get rid of the torn up flashy clothes she loves, return her hair to all black, take out all those piercings. She barely manages to graduate highschool under them, and oddly enough, people aren’t so cruel to her anymore.

And during all of this, being forced to conform and that being the only way people treat her right, only reaffirms that what Jeff did was right. He got to be himself after killing the people who wronged him. He never had to fit in to get all the attention in the world.

So, months after her 18th birthday, graduation, and a celebratory visit from her parents and brother, she ends up robbing her own grandparents and running off the Alabama.

Awful Characters Round 1 Part 1 (5/8)

Propaganda under the cut!

ANAKIN SKYWALKER

-war criminal -murdered a bunch of toddlers like five seconds after turning to the dark side -exploded his daughters home planet that one time -murdered an entire village bc some of them killed his mom (and not just the men, but the women and the children, too) -choked out his pregnant wife and sent her into early labor -murdered a bunch of jedi -had a really dumb braid at one point -tried to kill obi-wan (his mentor, brother, friend, guardian, and basically the most important person in his life) -failed to kill obi-wan and got his shit fucked up so badly that he became basically a walking iron lung, if iron lungs were an ill-timed sneeze away from killing you -went back for MORE a decade after obi-wan beat his ass just to be a dick. like he dragged the poor fucker's face through fire just to be an asshole -annoying

KROMER

Kromer is one of my FAVORITE villains of all time I love her so much. cult leader who is obsessed with the purity of the human body and thinks that having a flesh and blood body is the best thing ever and that people who willingly turn themselves into cyborgs are heretics, so she goes around slaughtering them. manipulated her friend, killed his family, and was generally just awful to him. she loves flesh so much she turned herself into a human centipede about it (body horror warning if you choose to look her up). she is an awful, awful person for basically no reason (her backstory and motivation is just that she likes flesh. that's it. that's literally all there is to it). I have not seen twitter users being weird about liking her firsthand but I know they do it slightly unrelated but people like to treat her & her cult like they're ableist or a metaphor for ableism- THEY'RE NOT. canto 3 is about religion. religious trauma. religious extremism. prosthetics in the projmoon universe are not the same as prosthetics in our world, it's just a weird choice of words, and nagel und hammer has nothing to do with ableism. if you're gonna hate her for the things she's done at least make sure it's something she's actually done PLEASE im begging you

[moodymisty]

It's longpost anon, here to drop another novel in your asks! (If this isn't welcome, just say so and I'll stop, no hard feelings!!)

All the Sanguinius content lately had me thinking about him having a daughter.

What spurred this on: I was grocery shopping this morning and there was a mom with her young daughter in front of me checking out. The kid would excitedly tell everyone "Nice to meet you!" when they walked past, and it was the most adorable thing ever. She was just so happy to see people and be out and about.

TMI but I'm at that point in my cycle where I was trying not to cry in public from the cuteness lol. (I've got baby fever, send help 😭) On the drive home, I started thinking about Sangy's daughter meeting all her uncles for the first time, and her trying to shake their giant hands with her tiny little ones and saying "Nice to meet you!" It would be so precious.

Then I started thinking about the mom being too kind for her own good, seeing Konrad lurking at the edge of the room alone and quietly asking him, "Do you want to meet your niece?"

It'd be like all the air got sucked out of the room. Sanguinius would just be tense as a board. Everyone is mentally screaming "Are you crazy?!" at her in their heads.

An aside: I've just read Konrad's primarch book, and while it shows why he is genuinely truly terrifying, there is also so many sad things.. Like how he doesn't hate any of his brothers (except Corax) despite them absolutely loathing him. Despite Fulgrim shattering his trust. Despite Sanguinius basically being the better alternate version of himself. I don't think the average person could be treated the way he was and not hate their family at least a little bit. I feel so badly for him.. I don't think he would hurt one of his brother's offspring pre-heresy. Maybe I'm just deluded though lol.

Anywho-

Everyone is just on edge, ready for Konrad to show even the most microscopic indication of aggression.. But he just kneels down, silently holds his hand out to the girl and she shakes his hand as best she can, giving him a cheery "Nice to meet you!" the same as she did for her other uncles. He just stands up, stares for a moment, and then silently leaves.. (He spends the next 72 hours trying to process the 12 different emotions he got blasted with in that moment.)

Also! Sangy's daughter being weirdly attached to one of the primarchs who is not particularly good at socializing with normies is really funny to picture. Like she gets SUPER hyped anytime she gets to see uncle Guilliman, and nobody knows why because he is honestly kinda boring to talk to. (It's because when she asks him a million questions about mundane things, he genuinely tries to answer every. single. one.)

Fulgrim trying to be the cool fun wine uncle but never being able to truly capture the kid's interest lmao. He's quietly seething like, why does she like paper-pushing Roboute?! (Fulgrim gets his time in the spotlight when she's a little older and gets super interested in art)

And the Blood Angels interacting with her would be so heartmeltingly sweet. Little mini Sanguinius asking for uppies from a captain because she wants to be Really Tall. He's just like, "It would be my honor." and hoists her onto his shoulder.

When the kid is still a toddler, the mom offhandedly asks her guard to hold her daughter for a second while she does something and just kinda shoves the squirmy toddler into his arms despite his protests. He's internally having a meltdown because he is so scared of hurting her accidentally and is still as a statue the entire time. The first time the mom refers to them as the girl's brothers, there would be no going back. Like, "Wave to your brothers!" as they're both watching the Blood Angels train. If it was even possible for them to adore their 'sister' any more, it would happen in that moment.

This is all super fucking cute. Especially the stuff with Konrad. And you are somewhat right; we have to remember that as fucked as Konrad is, he was largely under the impression that he was doing justice and only killing those deserving of it. I doubt he would think Sanguinius’ child was evil, at least at first. He has no reason to hate his child afterall, he never hated any of the Primarchs ‘cept Corvus.

Funny note I first read this while really tired and my brain skipped lines, and at first I thought it was Konrad asking people if they wanted to see their niece XD like he had a secret child. 💀 I’m dumb

[dreamwritersworld]

What if..? Final part(Sully Family x reader)

I hope you enjoy! 💞

“Ma’Jake? What’s wrong?’

Jake turns to a confused Neytiri.

“I-I uh I don’t know…I guess I just ran out of memories..I keep rewatching the same ones”

Neytiri smiles at Jake’s small frustration…he finally wanted to see more of Y/n.

“I can show you mine! We can both connect on the same branch.”

Jake didn’t think much of this…he’d just be happy to not see a haunting version of Y/n….

*their vision*

“Mom?”

Neytiri turns away from Jake to look at Y/n only…her smile completely went away seeing the heavily injured girl.

“M-mom help me! I’m trapped! I-I needed you…I needed him.”

Neytiri ran to a bleeding out Y/n…while holding her she tried to pull away from the vision, they both tried to.

“Ma’jake! What’s happening Jake? Help me!” Even then…Jake couldn’t do it.

“I wanted your love, I wanted it bad…but there were so many red flags.”

Suddenly they were in a hut…watching Y/n from afar as she held a gun to a sneaky Navi’s head…not caring that her older brother was watching her.

“I’ll be the one who breaks out at night and cuts your throat while you sleep.”

“Let’s be clear I trust no one.”

Jake was getting major headache, freaking out about Neytiri finding out about the accident. While Neytiri was extremely anxious…what was going on? What’s Y/n trying to communicate?

There they were…they could see themselves…Neytiri watching as always staying silent while Jake yelled at Y/n…It was after the fight, after a girl bullied Y/n…telling her how she would always be forgotten by her father while he cared for everyone else.

“…stay home for all I care. Your a mess outside by yourself. Do you understand?

It was written all over Y/n’s face…she wasn’t fine.

‘This isn’t fair. I was just trying to do good!’

…there it was…Y/n crying her eyes out….suffering a panic attack as her mind ran a million miles per hour.

‘What’s wrong with me! How could I be so stupid? I should’ve just let her say those mean things…she’s right anyway…but she was talking badly about my family…about me. They see it too….they know my dad treats me differently…as if I’m some disease. I’m sick. I am nothing. Just like he said, I am nothing without him.’

Jake and Neytiri were struggling to catch a breath just like Y/n…struggling to survive…and on their last gasp of air, the setting changed again, they were now watching themselves eat with Y/n. Jake begins confronting Y/n about how ‘dirty’ Tuk was…how there was a mess of crayons on the floor, of course that wasn’t allowed for Y/n.

They heard the sweet words Y/n was saying to Tuk after telling Jake how wrong he was to do this in front of his other child…for Tuk and Tuk only she fought till the end.

“No more food Tuk? You sure did eat huh sunshine? Let’s go clean you up and put you to sleep while Mom and dad eat.”

‘Maintain a smile…his words mean nothing.’

“You did not break me…I’m still fighting for peace.”

and suddenly…it went quiet…they slowly walked to the crash site, there Y/n’s body laid.

There was flashes of the war…

Blood splattered

Flames erupting from behind

Smoke being inhaled and…

Y/n.

Her body was struggling to form words but she was silently begging and pleading for her father to take her.

He didn’t.

“dad…dad? no…please no…dad help me…d-don’t leave me please dad.”

Lo’ak’s voice was louder, Neytiri heard it, Jake heard it…Y/n heard it while she was struggling to call out

“Dad! Y/n! She was with us!”

Jake didn’t hesitate to leave her saying she’d find her way home.

Neytiri could feel her.

every flame erupt in her lungs…

her heart breaking…

the mind growing tired…

body asking for a little bit of sleep…just a little bit of peace.

“You never saw me fall apart until then…when I was right in front of you. I didn’t close my eyes, and I know that I could’ve survived…right dad?”*

They were pulled from the vision.

“…Jake? You- how could you! How could you do that to her? To our daughter! My daughter.”

Neytiri couldn’t even explain what she was feeling…utter betrayal.

Little did they know Tuk was approaching, rushing to her mother that was screaming and had slipped perfectly into Tuk’s small arms as she fell.

“Mom? What happened?”

Neytiri was shaking, struggling and contemplating on saving her mate from the flame Tuk was now going to be the one to erupt in jakes lungs.

“Y..Y/n.”

That was all it took before Tuk looked up with the most disappointed and disgusted face she’s ever shown. They were going to see the cold version of her…the version of her that formed when Y/n died.

“It was you! It was fucking you! I knew it! How could you! You didn’t deserve her. You never fucking liked her. To her, you were everything…she was just ‘the chore’ to you.”

Tuk dropped right next to her mother…crying her eyes out. Jake watched horrified as Tuk looked up from her hands, laughing.

“I want you cold and broken…I had her blood on me…every drop. You were the reason she died. You took her from me. You’re a really shitty fucking father…you may have tricked me or treated me differently than you did with her but you listen to me when I say you will never, see her again. Not in your visions, or any stupid fucking memories you have with her. It’s over dad…everyone knows now. she’s going to be at peace and you won’t see her again.”

Neytiri gained the strength to stand beside Tuk and walk away from Jake as she desperately asked him to stop…give her time. He did, and she stupidly forgave him. Tuk couldn’t watch it anymore, so she told her siblings to go to the tree of souls with her to see Y/n one more time…together.

They all connected all at once and they saw a beautiful scenery. Y/n turned around happily to her siblings as they all rushed to her. You can hear her beautiful laugh from under all of them except one…Tuk.

*Y/n’s pov*

“Alright guys I love you too!…Where’s Tuk? I haven’t been able to connect with her fully. I need to see her again.”

They all got off, still laughing as I got up and then I saw her…my sunshine. We ran to each other, clashing into one another for a hug.

“Sunshine!”

“Y/n!”

Both of us cried tears holding onto each other.

When Tuk was finally able to speak to me I realized that…All this time I had been waiting for her. I had been waiting so long…I was afraid she wouldn’t come…

“Oel ngati kameie, Y/n”

“Oel ngati kameie, sunshine”

I grab her hand and yell out from a far to my other siblings.

“There’s a beach here! A beautiful beach! Down the hill! I’ll race ya!”

Their visions slowly shifted as they ran.

“We lived in a forest Y/n! How could you get such a beautiful beach?!”

I laugh and smile to my clueless brother.

“This was supposed to be my future! It’s beautiful isn’t it?”

The siblings smiles faded but their heart warmed at how Y/n happy was.

The siblings laughed and played amongst the clear blue waves….Y/n pulled Tuk to the side.

“I know what you’re thinking tuk…you want to leave, to run away from home. I know that’s why you brought them to me one last time do not do it sister, look around you! I may not be there for you to see but I’m always around watching you from afar and so are they…our siblings love you. I love you. I have found peace and closure in my death, you will too soon someday.”

Tuk was crying happy tears realizing what she heard her sister ask for silently in her dreams, was now given to y/n…peace and closure.

“Ok sunshine! Enough tears, let’s play!”

I was finally playing with my siblings, and living out the childhood I missed…I stepped back to take a breath and hold onto the moment.

I snapped a photo of my siblings…I loved the way a photo could capture a moment before it was gone.…nobody really notices when we leave. At best you might hear a whisper…or a wave of important memories tumbling down.

My name is Y/n Sully, like the goddess of the moon! I was 14 years old when I was murdered on a day…only meant for spotting.

I turn the camera towards me and snapped a picture…

I was here for a moment…and then I was gone.

I wish my sunshine Tuk, and siblings a long and happy life.

!💜!

I’m literally crying AHHHHHH. This is officially the end of this era! I’m so sad to let it go but I think it’s time! 💕 it’s definitely bittersweet but im ready to move onto another sad series if you guys have any ideas feel free to message or request it 💞 I truly mean it when I say I appreciate all the support !

warnings: not gender specific but the reader is on their period, nothing much really, doting bf wooyo 🥰

a/n: i am definitely taking requests right now but i would recommend reading my info linked in all my works and on my masterlist before submitting for anyone else that would like to request. thank you for requesting! 🤍

masterlist | info

—————————

dating wooyoung is always a surprise. you never quite know what you’re gonna get from one day to the next. but most of the time it’s a fun, silly, light-hearted energy. you weren’t that much older than him but you always said it keeps you young.

the thing you struggled with the most in the relationship was letting him in. in truth, you struggled to do that with most people, not just wooyoung. he always found a way to work himself in though. most of the time it was just by being his boisterous, endearing self… but not every time.

your hyper independence paired nicely with the way your mom taught you how to treat that time of the month too. “don’t tell anyone about it” was basically how you were supposed to treat it most often suffering in silence. especially since wooyoung came from a family where it was him and two brothers. sure, he was close to his mom and had a lot of friends that had their periods, but it didn’t matter. keep it quiet.

little did you know, wooyoung was much smarter than you thought. he could tell by the way you closed off each month it was going on. though he never said anything, he would do his best to let you deal with it in your own way. you never seemed to connect the two when he would plan more dates at home cuddling on the couch or when he came home with a bag of goodies from the convenience store or even came home with a new heating pad. each time he would come up with a valid excuse to blow it off.

“ah, i’m too tired to go out. can we stay in and cuddle?”

“i bought too many snacks when i went out with the boys. help me eat them.”

“my shoulder has been killing me with this new move. you can use it too if you need to.”

this is how it would continue in the relationship for almost a year but it ate at wooyoung. he wanted so badly for you to confide in him the way he should be confided in as a boyfriend. he wanted to baby you a bit more during this time of the month and care for you the way he felt you should be cared for. wooyoung was too respectful for that, though, and never wanted to push you.

that all would come to an end when the pain was so unbearable. this was by far the worst period you had experienced probably ever. when you took days off work from not being able to move, it was undeniable at this point but still you would try to play it off.

“i’m just not feeling well, babe. you should go on to work.” offering a weak smile before rolling over to rest.

it broke his heart to see you this way and still trying to shoulder this burden (and so many) on your own. wooyoung had decided it was time to have a conversation, not before finally taking care of you.

he came into the room that afternoon quietly, leaving the overhead light off as not to disturb you. his socked feet padding softly on the wood floor as he came over to you setting a glass of water on your nightstand and the heating pad tucked under his arm.

“darling, can you sit up for me?” he softly requested.

you stirred softly from your nap, rubbing your eyes to look up at him, “what?” you asked groggily.

“c’mon, love.” he carefully reached behind you to help raise you up to a seated position against the headboard. “take these, darling.” he dropped two tablets in your hand and passed over the glass of water.

“wooyoung, i can take care—“ you were cut off by him shushing you.

“it’s alright now, my love. just relax, ok?”

maybe it was how gently he was treating you or the fact that you could nearly sob with pain but you actually let him tend to you. he moved swiftly to plug in the heating pad and placed it tenderly on your stomach before helping you settle into a laying position. then he went around to the other side of the bed and cuddled in next to you, careful to give you your space in case you were in too much pain to cuddle.

“is there anything else i can do for you, love?” he finally asked.

“no, and you’ve done so much for me already, wooyoung. thank you.” you smiled weakly at him.

he shook his head, “you just rest now. i’ll be right here.”

only he wasn’t there when you woke up from your nap. you had felt a little better, enough to move around. so you got up and trudged to the kitchen where you smelled something cooking.

“you’re cooking for me?” you asked.

“ah! my baby is awake.” he walked over to you from the stove and hugged you softly, kissing your cheek. “how was your nap? how are you feeling? food’s almost ready.”

he moved to sit you down at the kitchen table before going back to finish.

“i can do that, wooyoung. i can take care of myself.” you insisted once again.

just as you said that, another wave of pain ripped through your lower abdomen. you grimaced your face, leaning forward and gripped the tables edge. wooyoung took notice, quickly removing the food from the heat and rushing over to you.

“darling, are you ok?” he knelt down in front of you.

for the first time ever you couldn’t hold back. you shook your head as tears begin to form in your eyes. wooyoung reached a hand up, his thumb stroking your cheek. he stayed with you until the pain subsided. his eyes were soft and round as he looked you over. so worried about you and empathetic to your pain. if he could switch places with you, he would do it in a heartbeat but for now he would just be there for you the best he could.

“are you ok now?” his voice was barely above a whisper. you nodded, sniffling. wooyoung leaned in and kissed your forehead softly.

“darling…” he started, not quite knowing how to get this out. “i know you can do things and you can handle yourself but i want you to know you don’t have to do it alone. i’m a grown man, maybe not as old as you…” he teased lightly, earning a playful slap to his arm. “but i just want to be there for you when you’re hurting. to hold you and take care of you. you’re more than capable of doing it on your own, you just don’t have to, ok?”

again, you nodded as he kissed your cheek.

wooyoung always knows what to say to make you feel loved and respected. he doesn’t have talks like this very often but when he does it really shows his wisdom. you really lucked out with him.

Sometimes, I obsess over season 5-6, because...from Dean's POV, Cas just upped n' left.

And there's just...so much stuff in 6x01. His neighbor Sid haunts me.

Dean is grieving and prickly, and he sits with Cas in the silence for hours as they drive together.

But then: Cas likes being called Heaven's new sheriff, and he's leaving, and--

So, Dean's ugly hurt feelings come out, and--

DEAN: Wow. God gives you a brand-new, shiny set of wings, and suddenly you're his bitch again. ... DEAN: Well, you really suck at goodbyes, you know that?

Cas struggles for words, licking his lips nervously, not entirely sure what's he done to upset Dean so badly. (He was trying to be funny, be lighthearted and indulge Dean’s “sheriff” talk!)

Aside// I love how freely they talk here. Very quickly, they move into an emotionally charged conversation. Dean freely releases his true feelings about the situation, something he will soon have to bottle up in suburbia.

///

I'm not special. I'm not even a friend. The Apocalypse is over, and Heaven's done with me. Cas is done with me. I lost Sam. That was the mission my father gave me. I want to die. There's no purpose left in my life.

///

And then, we move to Dean in early season 6, and we see him spending a lot of time with his neighbor, Sid, who shifts from moment to moment, representing everything from Dean’s old life. (Sam, Bobby, John, Cas--all rolled into one.)

And Sid seems genuinely nice. He and the neighbors seem to tiptoe around Dean, alerting Lisa of his mental state, as if they know he's emotionally fragile.

Dean even looks out across the street into Sid’s window, like he’s looking in on their married life. Perhaps, he’s wishing they were his mom and dad, or Sam n’ Jess, or Bobby n’ Karen—because in being in suburbia, he feels sundered from his extended family.

Dean seems to feel like an outsider. (It’s strange, too, like he might even be longing for what Sid and his wife have with each other??? We get Sid buying Dean beer followed by Sid bringing his wife a glass of wine. He loves Lisa. He wants to be connected, but he’s struggling.)

And here, in the bar scene, Sid’s wearing a dressy button-down. SID: "I've been buying you beers for a year:" -- SID: "You're practically respectable." -- SID: "Wow! Every time. What is it with you?" -- DEAN: "It's like chicks dig unavailable guys."

This is not just about the waitress who scribbled her number on Dean's receipt. It's about Dean himself.

He digs unavailable guys. He's missing his old life, his family, his brother, and...the unavailable soldier, Cas.

It calls to mind Dean’s later lamentation to Cas, “I was there. Where were you?”

///

Later in the episode, the manifestation of his subconscious refers to Cas as "sugar."

Azazel: Yeah, kiddo. The big daddy brought your pal Cas back, right? So why not me? Add a little spice to all that -- that sugar. DEAN shoots AZAZEL.

///

And then, when Sam returns, Dean is chomping at the bit for news of Cas:

Dean: What do you mean you don't know? Sam: I mean, no idea. I-I'm just back. Dean: Well, was it God, or -- or -- or Cas? I mean, does Cas know anything about it? Sam: You tell me. I've been calling. Cas hasn't answered my prayers. I don't even know where he is.

///

Poor Dean.

At home, he's hypervigilant, checking everything, and staring out across the yard at Sid and his wife, which shifts to become echoey specter of John and Mary, as they die.

Sid brings his wife a glass of wine, a bit of a higher-class parallel to how Carmen brings Dean beer in season 2’s What is and Should Never Be. (Also, Sid was buying Dean alcohol earlier. Now, he treats his wife.) They smile at one another, and then the djinn strikes.

Sid grabs a CHAIR on his way down. His wife grabs a LAMP. "Dean, they're already dead and you know it."

There's just something about it.

His old life and longings are reflected in this Sid character, morphing from moment to moment. He feels disconnected--he misses Bobby, he missed his little brother, he wants a friend who's unavailable, and he wants his mom and dad to be safe and alive and happy. He wants an integrated life.

This strange, incomplete happiness feels like exile.

[polyhexian]

Ive been wanting to know what you think about the possibility of alajasrius VERY FAR INTO THE FUTURE most likely if ever even possible, it took the aladarius ship 4 YEARS to be just hinted at becoming canon. Jasper is a very complicated character, he and Darius love eachother a lot but he also just HATES him he cant not, he ignored his baby for his whole life and only regretted it later on and after everything had gone down. All of his emotions are extremes. Alador and Darius have always just had a Thing, I could see Alador and Darius slowly getting closer and Als just wondering what the situationship with that jasper guy and darius is?? Their entire relationships just forever screwed and it just SUCKS for them! Everyones trying their very best (for Hunter of course)

Jasper needs a support system so badly, too, the most recent chapter was such a perfect example of that

god you know before i got to post canon eventually i was like "this is the one where im finally pulling the trigger on alajasrius" but ive now made darius and jasper so unbelievably obsessed with each other i forgot to even mention alador existing.

yeah i need to actually WRITE it but i have notes on it. luz took one look at hunter and said "my brother now" and i wanted to show thats a trait she picked up from her mother lol, camila takes one look at this fucking walking disaster and shes like "my brother now" or, well. friend, you know. its for the bit. but shes takes a distinct interest in "get out of your stupid cave and come to wine and soap opera night" vibes. i mean, hes her sons dad, and like, i think its hard for a parent not to sympathize on some level with him as a parent so fucking desperate to keep his baby safe. and like shes also been in a position where she lost luz, and she lost her because she failed to provide her a life she could live in. and she could have died because of it. and now luz is living with someone else, a new parent she found, because thats where shes happiest and healthiest and because she loves her she has to let her go live that life shes actually happy living. and SHE is parenting a kid now whose parent is in a similar position. he cant provide him a life where hes safe and happy so hes found a new parent. in another dimension, even. and again like. luz gets her overwhelming empathy from her mom. theres this guy here and hes suffering and sad and he has absolutely no one. she moved out here with her son and her husband and her husband died and she didnt know anyone in town and. she was just alone. she didnt have a support structure or friends or help. just a kid she grew farther and farther apart from. nobody was there for her then and shes damn well not going to watch someone go through something similar when shes right there and can do something about it.

also she doesnt really like darius either because of how he treated hunter in the past and shes not particularly a fan of the fact hunter lives there sometimes and she kinda thinks he should fuck off so they can complain about him together

Summer Lovin' - Struck by Love Legacy Challenge - Season 2, Episode 17

Spring came and went with Naomi focusing on her Piano and Guitar and her career. Summer was here and she was gearing up for her vacation with her parents that they take every year. She had been so focused in the spring that she didn't have time for any fun, so every week she was dating someone new.

All of the relationships she had were brief and when they got too serious, Naomi would end up breaking up with them. She didn't want anything serious, she just wanted to feel something other than this pain that she had been carrying since winter.

As the Summer Vacation came, a new passenger was going with them to Sulani this year. The beautiful lady that Kaito had met on vacation. After meeting at the bar in Mt. Komorebi, they talked all day every day and began a relationship. At the beginning of summer, Suzu ended up moving in with Kaito in a home that he purchased with the money that their parents had given him for college. He was stationed in Oasis Springs. Kaito had been waiting to ask Suzu an important question that he felt was long overdue, even though they hadn't been together that long.

Kaito took Naomi with him ring shopping proclaiming that she would be his best man if Suzu said yes. Naomi was excited for her brother but knew in her heart that he would get hurt. Suzu would treat him like Akira treated Maeve and how Gabrielle cheated on Naomi. Love always ended badly, no one ever stays faithful, it wasn't real.

The first night at the vacation home, they got there pretty late to make up for Naomi working late. Star made the family a meal while the others sat and talked at the dinner table.

Suzu: Thank you for letting my brother come along on the vacation. We really appreciate it.

Maeve: The more the merrier, I'm always open to more family joining us on vacation! It seems like our family gets bigger each year!

Kaito: You should see this guy play cards, he always wins. I swear he cheats!

Hiro: You're just a sore loser.

Naomi: Always has been, I once beat him in chess as a child and he cried for an hour.

Maeve: I also remember you telling him that he should protect his pawns instead of protecting the king Nay.

Naomi: Not my fault he didn't understand the rules!

Kaito: It's entirely your fault, you actually cheated!

Naomi: You're the boy who cried cheater.

Star: I remember Naomi beating him as a teen and he got so mad then too, he knew the rules by then!

Naomi smiled towards the kitchen where Star was, she always had Naomi's back for as long as she could remember.

Kaito: I don't recall that at all.

They all break into laughter, they shared a meal together and started divvying up the vacation rooms.

Maeve: Well, I thought I booked the vacation home that had enough rooms for all of us but it looks like I didn't. Star and I can crash on couches while you guys get the bedrooms.

Naomi: No mom, you shouldn't have to. I'll sleep on the couch, don't worry about it.

Hiro: Since I'm the extra body, I'll sleep on the couch.

Naomi: You're family Hiro, I'll take the couch, you have the bed. Seriously, I stay up way to late anyway with my work hours.

The protesting stopped and Hiro finally agreed to Naomi. With bedding all arranged, each of them went to their room and settled in. Kaito and Suzu took the biggest room, Maeve and Star offered it up knowing that Kaito was going to propose this trip, the main reason the family is staying for days and not just one day. Maeve and Star took the next biggest, Hiro took the smallest, and Naomi put her belongings in the closet nearest the living room where she would be staying. Although she was sleeping on the couch, she'd be able to have privacy with the bathroom down here and everyone in their own rooms. Naomi thought it wasn't that bad.

As Naomi was getting ready to lay on the couch and flick through the tv channels, she heard a light cough.

Hiro: You really could have the bed, I feel bad about it.

Naomi eyeing Hiro, why does he look so familiar? she thought. Naomi: Half the time I sleep on my couch in my apartment, I prefer it over beds. I think my back likes it better, or maybe I just like the noise from the TV as I sleep. I'm not sure.

Hiro: Well, there's a TV in the bedroom that works I'm sure. So you could sleep in there.

Naomi: Look Hiro, I know you're trying to be nice and all, but I've already claimed this couch and my butt is not moving.

Hiro stood still eyeing Naomi: Is this not awkward for you?

Naomi: What's awkward?

Hiro: The night that Kaito and Suzu met, we hooked up.

It all came back to Naomi, the sneaking up the stairs to the bar's bathroom that she didn't know but it felt familiar, she had done it multiple times before. It wasn't new.

Naomi cursed under her breath. Her bad decisions finally catching up to her. Naomi's eyes grew wider as more drunken memories came back to her.

Hiro: You didn't remember, did you?

Naomi: I- No, I didn't. I'm sorry.

Hiro: Then I guess that's the regular for you then? Flirt and sleep with strangers?

Naomi: No I-

Hiro: Save it, I don't want to hear it. I haven't been able to stop thinking about you since that night. But I guess I was just another fuck for you.

Hiro left Naomi alone in the living room. Naomi turned the tv off and sat in the silence and shame that she felt. She thought that what she was doing wasn't hurting anyone except herself. How many people had she slept with and flirted with that actually wanted something more than just to sleep with her? Was she as bad as Akira, Grace, and Gabrielle?

She buried her face in her hands as her thoughts spiraled, knowing that she wasn't going to get any sleep tonight.

Mmmm more of the Akechi Twins AU

If you're seeing this for the first time, it's an au where the P5 cast are in the P4 plot, ft twins Makoto and Goro

Ahem. Here's the direct notes

This be non-binary Makoto. Born afab, pretends to be a man, but in reality, feels like neithe

Spending life trying to find a way to not just be Goro's shadow, but they've lost themself along the way. They don't know who they are but Goro's twin. There is no Makoto, really. No one sees them as an individual

Until they get slapped by the Lovers, Haru, who accuses them of treating things like some sort of game. Makoto is shocked, standing there, hand to their cheek. Haru is glaring up at them with such fire

After they rescue Makoto, they ask them where they should bring them home. Makoto struggles to answer. She doesn't want to go home to Goro, that's not home.

"I, I don't,"

"...you can spend the night with me," Yusuke's words are soft. He lives with his Mom, who's illness has faded a little since the beginning of the year

Makoto spends a night in the old Gallery of Inaba, sleeping in a futon across from Yusuke. His mom offers them comfy clothes from Yusuke's pile of sensory clothes, and she silently hands over a sports bra. She doesn't say anything, but the look she's giving Makoto says "I've gone through this with one teen. No binder in bed"

Makoto has a "reunion" with Goro in the morning. His hug is tighter than they expected. He was acting odd after her TV appearance too...

Goro: you're such a dumbass. Fuckjng- stupid ass-

Makoto: can't even greet me with kindness? I see how it is

Goro: ...don't do that again. Next time I'll drag you home myself.

Makoto: ...yeah.

They silently take their stuff out of the apartment over the week they're out recovering. They have a fight about it, and Makoto needs this to grow into themself

Sayuri adores her son and the little nerd third year he's befriended

And Haru apologizes for slapping them. They're classmates now, and they should be friends,

And Makoto laughs, and it's the first any of them have heard of that sound from them. Makoto thanks her, for knocking some sense into them

Haru: ...oh no they're hot

-

Goro: hey. Where are you going to be staying?

Makoto: why do you want to know? So you can come yell at me there too?

Goro: ...your address needs to be updated for your prescriptions. Just cause I'm fucking pissed doesn't mean I want you to go off and ruin your fucking life, dumbass

It hurts more when Makoto starts to figure out what he's been doing

Makoto: WHY, WHY DO THIS?!

Goro: I'm fucking bored, that's why. Why shouldn't I? It's not like they matter more than me

-

Haru: I want to kiss them so badly,

Ann: mm, but they're dense as all hell, right?

Haru: URGH

-

Haru gets to have a family that's semi normal

Her uncle and cousin, much better than her dad ever was

Haru: ...I don't want to leave, this. This has been the most I've been cared for since my mom died,

Haru: she was my uncle's sister. They weren't close, and i could've gone my whole life without seeing Kaoru,

-

Makoto gets a new home with the Kitagawa's. Post story, Goro is getting proper help for the issues that caused him to corrupt so horribly, besides the whole god thing. But, he's also been charged. Makoto goes out to see him, visit him at the facility he's getting treatment from. And, they both barely recognize the person sitting across from them

At the end of the day, he's still their brother. They've been through everything together. Makoto doesn't know how to feel

Plus. He boinked Akira, their friend. That's also throwing them off

Makoto:

Goro:

Makoto:

Goro: ...it was good

Makoto: you're a whore

Goro: no, I'm clinically insane! Wrong again!

Makoto: ugh, and you're still a prick

They're both smiling a little

They'll never have what they had as kids. Never again. But they can be better.

-

The school trip to Iwatodai, there's an "error", puts Makoto in Haru's room. The whole class is confused. Makoto looks so, frozen. Haru just keeps glancing at them, and panics. Bursts out a "HAHA GUESS THEY GOT ME CONFUSED, SINCE MY NAME CAN BE A BOY'S, AHA-"

and. It fucking works? Everyone waves it off. Their teacher sits them down, asks if they're comfortable in that situation, and says they're only not changing it cause they're both trusted to be mature and behave

Makoto isn't out to Haru at this point. This is before they're really friends. Makoto has no idea why she did that

Makoto: you, didn't have to take the hit for this.

Haru: well there was some error, right? Akechi brother?

Makoto: ...yeah. Uhm. I'll change in the bathroom. Don't worry

Makoto takes the couch, curled up weird. Haru watches them, unsure what to make of them.

Haru: ...why didn't your brother also join our school?

Makoto: he doesn't share my views on most things. We're, not as alike as the media likes to think

Haru: I see.

Makoto: so, no, I can't get you in with him. He wouldn't care for it anyways,

Haru: oh, I'm much more interested in talking to you. You're more personable than you come across on TV

Makoto: ...I am?

Then, things happen. Haru slaps them, full of anger. Makoto makes a decision, takes an interview, to bait the kidnapper. Goro screams at them for it. They get rescued, and, find it's easier to breathe in the old dusty gallery

Then Haru finds them by the river. They have a talk about gender. Withing two weeks, Haru is shouting for someone to heal them, Makoto thrown into a wall during a dungeon boss fight, and they don't get up.

A revival bead does the job, but, Haru is still shaking

Makoto hisses when Haru gently removes their jacket later. Ann is sitting in front of them, the boys and Futaba waiting in the living room. Ann apologizes softly as she helps them out of their turtleneck, and Haru nearly sobs at the giant bruise blooming across their shoulder

"so, no binding for a few days?"

"Yeah, sorry, Mako,,"

"It's my fault for not dodging. Gya, I was, stupid"

"Don't. You're not at fault. Let's just get you healed up."

Ryuji is blushing a little while he hands over a large hoodie for them. To hide their form a bit, yknow? THIS AINT ROMANTIC EOTHER, JUET FRIENDLY, MAN! OR, UH, YOU!

Makoto smiles gently at him, thanks him. Haru is hugging their other arm. The one far from the bruise

She kissed the bruise earlier. When Ann left, she kissed them properly too

Everyone tries not to laugh at Makoto, back in their turtleneck, still wearing the nice slacks, and. Now this bright "RUN FAR" graphic sweater

Futaba: yo, Haru, you good?

Haru: ...just a little tired. That fight took a lot out of me, even though I wasn't fighting.

Makoto: here, I'll walk you home then

And they place their cap on Haru's head, running a hand through short, messy brown hair. Haru giggles softly, cheeks lighting up

People smile as they walk home together. They must be quite a sight. One of the famous Akechi Detective Princes, along with the youngest celebrity chef, walking home arm in arm

Haru hugs them tightly, on the door to Untouchables, breathing in the rainy air, and the cologne Makoto must've put on that morning

Haru: ...don't you have something to ask me?

Makoto: hm? OH! A date? Would you want to join me for a date Saturday after school? I can, take us to the city on my motorcycle?

Haru: ...you just keep getting hotter Jesus fuck

Local straight-passing celebrity couple wanting to be just normal people, sources say

Munehisa gets used to his niece leaving to go hang out with the "blue detective not-boy". He sees how she smiles when they lean down to kiss her cheek. He'll still worry a little, but he gets to worry less when she has the closest thing to a bodyguard for a partner

[sokkastyles]

hello! i love your meta, and i think you routinely have the best takes on azula i've ever read - the way you are able to articulate the ability for a younger sibling to abuse their older sibling, how that's rooted in her father's abuse of both his children, how that doesn't change the fact that the character grows into one who becomes an abuser herself.

you have a quote from a while back where you say "I've been thinking about this a lot in terms of people saying they want to see Azula be "humanized," and what they usually mean is that they want to see her given redeeming qualities," and also pointed out the research on how abusers being given support from therapy often enables them into increased mistreatment.

as a person working through their own traumas re: abuse, do you have any insights on how to reconcile abusers in real life? you brought up Zuko asking Azula "why" - but the answer (i think) is simply that she wanted to. and i haven't figured out how to deal with that in my own history yet, much less how that would affect broader public policy issues around ~dealing with~ (for lack of a better term) abusers.

it's easy for me to be an abolitionist for non violent drug offenders. but i don't know how a better society would deal with my ex or my mom, for example. and i don't necessarily think locking them away is the answer... but i don't know what is

Hi, thank you for the compliment on my meta!

I'm afraid I cannot give you personal advice because I don't know you or your specific situation, and of course I am not saying that all abusers do not get better in therapy. But it is common for people who have learned that they can get what they want by manipulating others to learn how to manipulate better by learning what is expected of them and how to say the right things.

That's why it's generally not a good idea to try and fix an abusive person yourself or count on them to change first. A lot of abusers try and keep people dependent on them this way, because they know how to use your caring for them against you.

And yeah, one of the problems with the way people psychoanalyze Azula is that there is a hesitance to admit that she treated people badly because she wanted to, and she was rewarded for that behavior by her father and her mother's disapproval was not enough to combat that, until her friends and her brother started standing up to her and no longer allowing her to behave that way towards them, and she got to the point where her father was no longer rewarding her because she got too ambitious, as is inevitable when a child outgrows a parent who is enmeshed with them in that way.

I mean, of course Azula was abused, and of course there is the damage that happens when a child is raised the way Azula does. Even allowing that Azula did not bear the brunt of Ozai's abuse, just abusing Zuko in front of Azula is itself a form of abuse. It erodes Azula's sense of safety because she knows the same thing could happen to her if she's not good enough.

But a lot of people confuse that with the idea that Azula was forced to treat Zuko badly, which she absolutely was not forced to do. We don't ever see Ozai tell Azula that she's too good to play with Zuko or that she has to be mean to him. He teaches her how to treat Zuko through example, but the picture some people paint of an Azula who didn't really want to hurt her brother just isn't true. In fact, it's because of Ozai's example that Azula got such satisfaction out of hurting Zuko, because it made her feel good to be seen as better than Zuko in her father's eyes.

People don't like to engage with that aspect of Azula. They need to file off the edges to make her a sympathetic victim. Like you mentioned, there's this idea that she isn't "human" otherwise, even though her joy in Zuko's suffering is a very human emotion. And she does enjoy it.

People often talk about redemption arcs when they talk about this, but I'm gonna mention one of the most recent and well-loved corruption arcs in media, and pull a scene from Breaking Bad. One of the most famous scenes at the end of the show is when Skylar tells Walter that she doesn't want to hear any more excuses about how the things he did were because of the family. Walter's response is to interrupt her and say:

I did it for me. I did it because I liked it. And I was good at it.

It's one of the most evocative scenes primarily because it hurts to see Walter go down the path he goes down from the beginning to the end, but at no point is he anything other than tragically human. And finally, finally, we see him admit that nothing that he did was for the benefit of others.

Azula liked what she was doing. And she was very, very good at it. And she saw no reason to be unhappy about it until it wasn't working for her anymore. And even then, she blamed others for her unhappiness instead of acknowledging that they had a right to want to be treated better.

Note that I'm not saying Azula and Walter White are remotely similar as characters, and ATLA and Breaking Bad are very different stories in very different genres. But I bring up BB as an example because I see too many people claiming that the only interesting or human story worth telling is one where everyone gets redemption, and that idea can be harmful especially to people in real life who have been victimized who are struggling with the idea that they need to see the goodness in their abusers.

Anyway, I am sorry to hear about your personal experiences and although I cannot say what is best for you, I do hope you find peace and I want you to know that you have a right to that peace.

ADOPTED AU

I got this on my mind for all day, since it's late i don't know if the results will be extraordinary but, hey why don't try?

Characters: Spider 5, Neteyam 4 and a half, Kiri 4, Lo'ak 3 and a half, Neytiri 23 and Jake 26(?)

  This is before the adoption of Spider, i had like headcannon that meanwhile in this AU they don't treat Spider badly they adopt him only after Tuk is born so when he is like 8 or 9.

"MOM, MOM" Kiri voiced was yelling agitated from outside the Pod, Jake and Neytiri never dropped something so fast. Jake who was closer to the door was immediately on Kiri "what happened?!" "What what" echoed Neytiri coming to them. Kiri was crying and Neytiri wiped away her tears picking her up in her arms to rock her for calming her down, "where are your brothers honey?" Jake asked trying to not seems agitated. "Spider hurt" she could just said still sobbing, and meanwhile Neytiri was relived her boys weren't hurt her worry grow for the human child, she had unmixed feelings towards him, she didn't like that a sky people a demon was closer to her children but from the other hand he was a child and one of the sweetens, one time when they were all out he maked her a flower crown with her favorites flowers and he was only 4! she had been seeing around wearing it all week. Meanwhile Jake was now more nervous, Norm asked him a lot of times to keep an eye on the kid and if to be extra careful when he was around,and he was, he maked sure his mask was fine every hour, he personally taked the kid home every night and when he had the frist sleepover Jake taked him in his arms afraid as hell that something could happened to him if he lefted go, honestly Jake was kinda of scared to admit that he had feelings for that kid, the same he had for Neteyam,Kiri and Lo'ak. He just wanted to pick that kid and never let go of him, he wanted to wake up and find all four of the children sleeping together close, he wanted that for like father day he was woked up by four and not three. Even if these feeling were very strongs and were only growing day by day he didn't know how to tell Neytiri, his mate, who had beens such all of that, he knew that she had some difficulties being around Humans and didn't want to pressure her to take the child in, he was willing to only watch him grown up without being call dad by him even if his heart hurted only at the thought. "Where is he now sweety?" He asked "Forest, flower camp" she muttered now calmer. The flower field, she meant, that field was the same field where he maked the crown and was a beautiful place were family's goes to make they're kids play with Eywa, an old legend said that those flowers were the first flowers ever created by the mother, she created them right after creating Na'vi peoples, she wanted to see if she was capable of creating something as beautiful as them. Children's playing in them were seeing like play directly with the mother. Anyway, that field was too far from what the kids were meant to be, Jake and Neytiri looked at each other and even if in that moment there weren't a connection between them, they knew what they were thinking 《we'll deal with that later》 and with that they stared to run towards the field. When they arrived, they founded the boys all sitting on the grass and the pink one was all red and covered in bruises, even dark in some places and blood was feeling of his soon to be scars. He was crying, making Jake heart sink. The bruises were bad, awfully bad and were only getting worse when he, Neytiri and Kiri got closer. He immediately cheked on the mask and luckily it seems to be fine. Neytiri putted down Kiri and the boy immediately putted his arms up thinking he was going to be taken in her arms, and after some moments of thinking she indeed picked him up and rocked him to calm down,like she did with Kiri minutes before, giving him kisses on his head and gentels pats on the head "shh is okay I'm here, everything going to be fine, shh" she keeping on said. Jake was so in love with that scene, if he could make a photo, he could but in the moment he taked the photo only mentally. He turned around facing his other kids, who were all putted together probaly knowing that they were going to be yell at or something. "Someone now is going to tell me why you guys were here," they collectively looked down "how he is hurt and who ideas was" they tails and ears down, Jake hated this parenting he assumed, he tried to change it but he simply couldn't, back on earth his father a police officer treated him and his brother like that and even more harshly when his mother, a firewoman died when he and Tommy were seven, he enrolled at eighteen the week after finish school, he knew he could stay anymore close to his dad, when he finded out his father committed the unimaginable he was kinda of relief of that, Jake hated knowing that he was becoming his own father, could help it though the marine training was harsh and he knew much families were like him and the clan didn't help ether they're parenting was harsh as well so as the clan chief he was meant to be an example, that could have mean that he could have changed things but as a "fake na'vi" "half demon" "demon disguised" it was hard to bring something new without the people thinking he was trying to change them and they're traditions. "I'm sorry dad, iclimped the tree to up and when he tried to help me get down, he falled from that afar" Lo'ak said,pointing to a branch who was atlas four meters from the ground. Lo'ak, his youngest son a carbon copy of him in every was, he picked something from his mother, but he looked and acted mostly like Jake, he was stubborn, and Jake was too especially as a child, he was now learning how to climp trees and was meant to practise only supervised. "Why didn't you stop him?" Jake turned to Neteyam "I'm sorry dad i was playing in the flowers with Kiri and we got distracted" he was almost five and one day the Chief of the village he couldn't get distracted, Jake didn't like to put the responsibility on him but he was the oldest, but well the tallest of the four he knew they weren't meant to be there, which this least to the last question "from who was the idea of coming here?" Jake asked these questions with a firm but harsh tone "me daddy, i wanted to come here and brought them along even if you and mama said to not come here without you two or grandma" Kiri responded. "you three disappointed me today, Neteyam is your duty to not get distracted what if he hitted is head? And if lo'ak fallen too? You won't going fishing with me this weekend," he first grounded the teller of the four, neteyam looked forwards they weekends togher fishing and when his head got down for not showing tears Jake knew it was an appropriate punishment for him "kiri you won't go to your grandma all week" he turned to the little girl, she adored to spent time with her grandmother and seeing her cure people, when a sob came out Jake knew it was a perfect punishment "and you Lo'ak will stay home for a month, without going to climb any tree, you want have your toys all week and no sweets for two months" maybe this was a little too harsh but he knew that was the right one, in the end that was his son, carbon copy of him and Jake knew what could hurt him. He turned to face his mate and his kid "and you spider" he was about to say something to the kid too but blocked from Neytiri stare who was everything but not safe,he needed to pick his words if he wanted even a kiss for the rest of the year "you kid won't go out with the kids for the next month, you can come to our pod but will stay inside, and you can't come for sure until you get better" Neytiri nodded her head, showing like at the chosen words. Spider now calm but still on Neytiri grabbed like a monkey nodded too. "You bring them home i bring him to the humans" Neytiri said and after the nod of approval she got away with the child. "It's hurt here, and here and here too" the tiny child pointed at some bruises "everything will be alright child, you will feel better trust me" she hugged him tighter "can you stay with me until i fall asleep tonight" he asked, his tiny voice is such a cute toddler voice, she would have hugged him even tighter if she could. "Sure, i will be there tomorrow morning too, I'm here for you" she kissed him head, and putted her chin on his head,stopping now that they were arrived. "Thanks mom" Neytiri could hide the smile at the words.

This writhed it itself, i started at like 23 and finish now at 00:26 o'clock. By the way I don't share Jake methods i just wrote them down. Any time i write or think about Neytiri and Spider in the adopted au my heart just warms down, because in my mind she just adores him and want him to never be more than a meter from her. Now i should go to bed, TOMORROW SPIDER GOES OUT AISHSJIA. Goodnight.

I don't know if this happens to you too. I lived with my mom and she didn't like me having toys/plushes. Said I was too old. My fave blue rabbit and furby went missing one time. I thought she chucked them out but she said no, nothing to do with her. She died later and I live here on my own. Today I was going out and someone had left toys in dumpster bit. Other people had gone through it but I snagged a Barbie. But weird thing is I also found the rabbit and furby but they're not good condition. I know it's them cos of an old name written on bunny's label in pen. (Bunny was originally thrifted.) So I think my mom gave them away that time

Theyve been badly treated though and I'm gonna try and clean them up. I used to cry thinking they were thrown away and now scared they feel. I told my brother and he told me to fling them out 😔 he says they're not alive and I need to stop 'hoarding'. It's not about that it's about how they went missing and taken away without my consent and now I got them back through chance. Anyways sorry for ranting

That's awful what your mother did. She had no right to give your friends away. Thankfully she didn't throw them out it seems, but what she did do wasn't any less mean. You deserved better, nonny. I hope things will be better for you now

As for your furby and bunny, it seems fate was on your side! They've come back to you at last, what an amazing thing!! Maybe they needed to help out another person for a while before coming back when you'd need them again the most. Don't listen to your brother, ok? These little fuzzy things make you happy, and nobody has a right to tell you what you can and can't do with what brings you joy.

Also, it isn't hoarding if you just have the two little guys. Even if you have more toys and plushies along with them, who really cares? A lot of people have collections of things! You wouldn't scold a sports fan for having lots of memorabilia of their favorite team, or a comic fan for having a huge stack of magazines. If having these things doesn't cause harm to you or anyone else then there's nothing wrong with having them.

I hope the restoration of your friends goes well. I'm so glad you were reunited. If you need any resources on how to clean them up let me know and I'll get you some links. There's also toy doctors out there you could contact to help get your lost buddies back to feeling like they used to.
