sometimes while i think about that while a lot of adults did not treat me very well as a kid i also get a lot of 'in hindsight this person was so good to me and i didnt even realize it until now' as an adult. today i was thinking about how the first anime convention i ever went to was when i was 10 and i asked the man working the manga cafe what manga was/what a good place to start was (because the con was very overstimulating for me and i had gotten lost) and he asked how old i was before recommending yotsuba and asking if i wanted any water or something to eat. its really simple but theres a lot of bad things that couldve happened or he could've been careless in his recommendation, but instead yotsuba has remained one of my favorite manga for years, and probably a large portion of why i continue to read manga as an adult... i think adults who try to involve kids in the world safely/kindly even in little ways make so much more of a difference than they ever really know.

I seen your mood board and did a bit of a scroll! Love the stuff! I was wondering cause I seen the iron valiant hc if you could do something with zorark or grandbull as a cg? I know it's a smidge odd.
Zoroark || Caregiver Headcanons ❤️
I don’t think this is a strange request at all! I think it’s adorable, really <3 also I’d like to apologize for the lack of response to requests, the amount of cookie run ones have been taking a lot out of me </3 /lh
❤️ » Zoroark, from what I know, are very protective of who they consider their child. Very parental Pokémon, they try to walk with you outside the pokeball whenever possible. They will gently bite your shirt to direct you to another direction if they need to.
🪄 » Will transform into a human at times to make caring easier. What they look like in this form totally depends on the Zoroark, but I think most of them would prefer to keep their long fur in the form of long, long hair.
❤️ » Sometimes transforms into a smaller, more lap-sized pokemon to make travelling easier. Loves to sit on your shoulder, on your head, or in your arms!
🪄 » Uses their sharp claws and teeth to help with peeling fruit like oranges, apricots, apples, or nanabs. Makes sure their claws are clean first though, they want to make sure you’re a healthy kiddo.
❤️ » Let’s you rest your head in their hair, *super* soft.
🪄 » You two basically invented your own way of communicating with each other. Since Zoroark, even when transformed into a human, cannot speak; you both use hand gestures.

Nightmare the caregiver headcanons!
(Just me ranting abt undertale au agere, featuring the bad sanses! This is gonna be a new AU-)
Nightmare: Caregiver. Very calm and sorta stoic, occasionally tired of the nonsense but has a good habit of keeping his cool. He may seem uninterested, but knows where all of his boys are, at all time. It's almost scary-
Killer: Middle. He's on the younger side of a middle, being 9 - 10 when regressed. He likes annoying Nightmare, and being playful. Calls nightmare "Pops" or "Dad"! He likes gaming a lot when regressed, which can be anything he can be chaotic in. (Mostly minecraft, but sometimes older games like COD.) He also occasionally slips younger, around 6? And when he's that young, he follow Nightmare just about everywhere, VERY talkative little.
Horror: Little. He's a toddler essentially, 3 - 4. And a very spacing out, unaware one at that. Nightmare absolutely has to keep an eye on him at all times, due to the fact that he will try to chew on anything and everything. To combat this, Nightmare shape shifts one of his tendrils into a harness, keeping Horror secure. Also, he goes completely non-verbal while regressed!
Murder/Dust: Little, very tiny. We're talking he goes 0 - 1, maybe 2. He's an Involuntary regressor, as he believes he doesn't really deserve it. When he's regressed, he's very clingy, and wants to be carried at all times, since he misses Papy's hugs and carrying him. Speaking of Paps! He often helps encourages Dust to ask for things he needs, like a binky, or bottle, blanket, so on!
Cross: Flip. He's not really the regressing type, so he's more of an age dreamer/partial regressor! When regressed, he's pretty quiet, likes to read, or bake (with supervision) he really can't tell his regressed age, which nightmare will reassure him that, it's okay! And, really Cross prefers being a babysitter, mostly to watch Killer. He's better with older kids!
And with that... i feel like I should be writing a story about this, huh.

anyways does anyone remember msscribe of the hp fandom
or when that Taemin whump fic on asianfanfics was left unfinished for too long and someone started the rumor that the author killed themself because “the story was so sad” and everyone believed it
or that string of BTS fic authors who would build up a following only to “mysteriously” disappear and taunt all their followers with it
or the shitposts that came about bc so many fanfic authors in big fandoms pretended to commit suicide
people who fall for this so easily are just giving themselves away atp.
as a heads up, with the amount of traction this one got we’re definitely gonna see it more frequently.

Mermay Special Prompt 4
Go on vacation, they said. We can watch Gotham, they said. Just go hang with and adjust to caring for kids, they said. Yeah, well no one said anything about getting cursed while at the vacation lake house, which okay, fine. But did it have to affect the kids too?
Bruce pressed his head in his hands, groaning in dismay as the children practically zoomed around the surrounding water with enthusiastic trills and squeals he could somehow understand. And through the air, to their increasing delight. Okay. Okay this is fine.
It wasn’t like he also somehow now had an extra child who looked like one at most that he had no clue as to where they came from. Said child wasn’t squirming in his arms, black scales and tiny fins akin to the setting of a sun twisting as they chirped. Definitely not.
Okay. Alright. He could figure this out. Probably…. hopefully…
