#this was also my first time tweening really

[anonymoungus]

Here’s the list of dudes I know who went into the military v guys I knew who went to be cops

• I purposely chose people under 40 •

Cop:

Guy who doesn’t help his girlfriend with shit. Plays cod. Still acts like a high schooler last time I happened to see him

Former cop who’s nitpicky. We both have the same landlord but he’s constantly calling that old man for something. (Not usually a fan of landlords but he’s constantly giving us and the other renters free food and the rent is cheep. He also wasn’t aiming to be a landlord, the places were on are in his yard and family used to live in them. I’m living in his dead mother in law’s place. But he bugs them over like. A door being squeaky) also he makes his kids play outside all day.

Basically these guys just seem annoying

Military:

Guy who would scream (practically spitting) in my face at school, very misogynistic and ablist. Would try to make people cry. I’m pretty sure he was trying to push a girl into suicide.

Guy who was obsessed with Hitler. Disgustingly obsessed, would always call the nazis ‘efficient’. His parents insisted he didn’t actually like Hitler, just history but I think they just didn’t want to believe it. He also would make molestation jokes and joke about young girls (tweens) being sex workers.

These are probably two of the worst people I’ve met. Rancid.

It’s really weird to hear this now when the military has gotten increasingly more desperate for new recruits that they’re allowing more loopholes than ever before (the first guy even spoke proudly about his loophole and getting through it) the military has also been focusing on video games specifically cod and has had posters about the military being like playing it in real life which is weird government propaganda from a country that blames its gun issues on those very sort of video games. Rather than not believing that video games cause violence it’s like the military is hoping that that’s the case.

Yes, they are targeting high schoolers, hoping ones stupid enough to get snagged in, so do the police. They actually target kids younger than high school with specific copaganda but the thing about the military is that it’s full of people who know their mamas will never hear about all the horrible things they did there. They can get away with more, more than what we who live in the states will naturally hear about.

In fact. I’d say we’re only aware of how bad cops are from our own exposure which we don’t really get with our military.

Beyond that I assume that every country I’ve heard of that has stated how bad the US military is also has their own form of law enforcement that they probably also have complaints for but our troops are either an equal or worse problem.

Even if the regret rate is higher in military I would think the amount of living drafted people skewed that data. A guy forced to do something is more likely to be pissed and jaded about it. And even if they blew up civilians in the process of performing ‘job that kills people’ and feel bad about it after they followed every step that led to that. They could’ve done their job poorly or not do anything at all.

We all tell kids to step up when they see people doing something wrong and to step out when we’re the ones doing it. If you expect a teacher to step up when (not after, when) another teacher mistreats a child then you should have these standards for your imaginary poor little ignorantly drafted boy from Illinois. Not this ‘he spoke up after he was finished with his service’ shit.

Still occasionally think about that one post about how americans on the internet push back against anti US military rhetoric in a way they don't do with anti cop rhetoric because, unlike their police, the victims of the US military are mainly foreigners, and then some yank cunt decided to show up to do the standard you don't get it the military is made up of poverty-stricken uneducated kids who were fed propaganda :((((( etc etc shtick but also decided to go with "meanwhile the police can straight up murder you, steal your property and kill your dog with no consequences" like sorry friend what exactly do you think your military does.

DickKory celebrity AU playing up Kory's time as a model and Dick's socialite status as a "Prince of Gotham" so that they first meet in public and become a celebrity power couple BEFORE discovering they're also a superhero4superhero match. Although really, there's not much way to disguise Kory's nightlife so it'd be more like before Kory discovers what Dick moonlights as between social engagements, cuz let's be real, if Dick's not already an active part of the hero scene pissing people off with the typical Batfam adherence to I Could Tell You, But I'd Rather Risk Killing Our Friendship style secrecy, it just Makes Sense for him to do most of the "Hi Honey, I Can See Now How I Probably Should Have Mentioned Some Things Sooner" legwork. For The Tropes, y'see.

Now how would this even work? Idk I haven't thought this through yet, like literally at all, not even a little bit. BUT IF I HAD, just totally theoretical here, not something that's actually happened or happening or going to happen at all, HYPOTHETICALLY....idk idk. Maybe Dick never joined the Titans as a founder because Bruce was slightly more paranoid in this universe (how is that even possible, you may ask, I know, I'm agog at the unlikelihood as well, good thing this is all hypothetical haha, could you even imagine). But if you COULD even imagine, just perchance, purely for the shits and also the giggles, like....a universe where the timing is juuuuuuust tweaked enough so that the older generation of heroes were just STARTING to team up a little in public, do some networking, hemming and hawing noises were being made - vocal musings if you will - about maybe possibly forming some kind of club or "league" or what have you...

But then right before they actually followed through on that is when Bruce first met Dick and then ended up taking him in a month later (juvie origin, my always beloved, I accept no substitutions, as you all know I'm VERY open-minded except for when I'm not and will shoot an alternate interpretation on sight BUT I DIGRESS). So while the other heroes ended up forming the League, Bruce, who previously WAS amenable when it was just him pulled a 180 and shut down his participation in that FAST.

He's like I can risk this whole "believing that associating with other people can be Good For Me and Safe, actually" when its just MY identity at risk, but I am a Not!Father now! I have to be Responsible! I can no longer justify buying into Big Friendship's propaganda all willy-nilly, my DefinitelyNot!Son is depending on me to make good choices! You gotta THINK Bruce, what kind of example are you setting, swanning around town with your Emotional Needs hanging out all flagrantly on display in public? Flashing some recklessly indecent Desire To Be Known for anyone to see like you're some kind of companionship hussy?! It doesn't matter how tempting these Justice Jezebels are, you say NO, I have a DefinitelyNotMine!Child at home, keep your parlor of platonic comradery away from me! I said GOOD DAY, SUPERMAN! *slams the door of potential peerage shut a full ten seconds before Adopting Wayward Orphans becomes the hot new trend on Capetok and all the cool kids are doing it, oops*

So the Batfam still forms as it does in other canons, just even more secretive and socially isolated than elsewhere, they're setting Guinness Multiverse Records here, absolute icons, every last one of them. Because of course the altered history doesn't mean Bruce stops at Dick even if Dick never gets Led Astray Entranced Beguiled Wooed By His Not!Father's Competition, A Friend Group of Fellow Tweens Which Is Of Course A Totally Natural And Not At All Concerning Source of Competition For A Not!Father To Have here. Thus, ironically he evolves from Robin to a more adult hero persona (with a different name than Nightwing because he doesn't know Clark Like That Yet), in a manner more akin to Pre-Crisis not!drama than Post-Crisis draaaaaaaaama. And even despite Dick not being a founding Titans member, the Titans do still get founded because Dick does still become Robin and Sets A Bad Example for the Other Wayward Orphans adopted by the Justice League - which they of course hold against That Bat Bastard for purely rational reasons born wholly of Good Parenting with nary an ounce of resentment for the way he like totally rejected them omg in the mix.

And so a common refrain in the Halls of Justice is "its all that FUCKING Batman's fault" (so, y'know, actually not that different from canon when you think about it) every time one of the Titans Who Are Still Twee do something utterly devoid of applied brain cells and without a trace of self-preservation instincts to be seen while citing BATMAN LETS ROBIN DO IT. It definitely doesn't help endear their Not!ParentalRival to them, that all their powers of parental wisdom combined - "If Batman let Robin jump off a bridge would you jump off a bridge too" as uttered by five different superheroes in stereo - flies wildly over Twee Titan heads and careens off into the sunset as they whip out their phones and reveal bookmarked Gotham social media accounts capturing video after video of a young Robin in flight (usually off a bridge, for added SEE!!?!) while Batman somehow manages to pull off both Brooding and Beaming while looming in the background like the World's Proudest Gargoyle Dad.

The other founding members of the JLA PTA are simultaneously relieved Batman never accepted their Friend Request Justice League invitation thus keeping him, his cackling hyena devil child and their combined Bad Example far away from their own impressionable youths for all the good that actually did, while still deeply resentful he didn't want to sit with them at lunch. Its tricky work, but they pull it off. They're superheroes. They've got Skills.

And as alleged earlier, of course Bruce doesn't stop at just Not!Adopting Dick (lbr, having even less of a support network than in canon is not likely to lessen his Im Not Equipped To Actually Be Anyone's Daddy issues), like, no matter the universe, no matter the timeline, this man has an Actual Problem. He self-moderates so hard in literally every other aspect of his life that every time he sees a not-attended-by-an-adult Pokemon child in the wild, there's nothing left in the tank to stop him from shouting DIBS and calling his contractor to add another wing to Wayne Manor. The place is an Old-Testament style angelic host at this point, its got so many fucking wings. He's single-handedly stimulating the Gotham economy with all the jobs he's creating in the construction sector. That fucking legend. How does he do it. (Bruce: Well its actually really easy, see, you start by just never letting anyone tell you no ever and then you just never stop because nobody's ever told you no ever and - )

But the point is - inasmuch as I ever have one - in its own special way, this timeline spawns an ever-multiplying Batfam, just like in canon. Batman churns out one Robin after another like he's mass producing them on an assembly line, the Concerned Citizens of the JLA PTA insist, pointedly ignoring the side-eyed commentary of the peanut gallery that is their own children discussing amongst themselves that they sound so jealous its making them look goofy.

And so for years the Mystery of the Batfam delights, bewitches and enchants both the public and the cape community alike. They elude all interview attempts, return all invitations to JLA meetings and summits with unexpectedly British-sounding rejections on Batman stationary with formally inked calligraphy, and capture the imagination with each video-archived glimpse of the enigmatic, rude asshole Batman and his flock swinging whimsically across the Gotham skyline with much laughter and indulgent parental sighing, like the bizarrely accurate Peter Pan and the Lost Boys and Girls homage that they are.

Also ironically, despite being actually close to each other in this timeline, they're even worse at associating with others outside themselves than in any canon previously recorded, on account of The World's Most Helicoptering Helicopter Not!Dad's even more unchecked paranoia meaning none of them have ever had a real friend (ie one they don't lie to about literally everything, even up to and including their real names) outside the family since the day they each entered it and were initiated into its secrets in a weirdly wholesome Godfather-esque way. Don't think about that one too hard. People have died.

And then....

Enter Kory.

Kory, who in this universe - despite being a literal alien from outer space who did still navigate significant culture clash here with the aid of Donna, Lilith and other assorted Titans - is by the time of her and Dick's initial will-they-won't-they.....fully and happily ensconced within her own friend group and support network in the cape community. And though Dick Grayson, Prince of Gotham fakes it well, born entertainer and seasoned performer that he already was before he ever met Bruce....he - like all of his family - is not NEARLY as well socialized as she is.

Which Kory admittedly finds a bit odd, but still endearing, when she still only knows him in his public persona. He has noticeable quirks, but she chalks that up to Earth celebrities and socialite families being "....hmm." She's met the Kardashians.

But by the time she uncovers his secrets - or at least secret identity - in absurdly high camp Mr. and Mrs. Smith style fashion - she realizes, as she confides to Donna who is Most Eager to hear all the gossip that's fit to dish about that Most Elusive of Photography Subjects, the rare species of Robin native only to Gotham, the Cercotrichas nocturnalis, Dick and his siblings' secretiveness is extremely frustrating and even exasperating at times, but she legit doesn't think he knows how not to be that way. She's probably his first genuine non-Batfam-initiated friend. And his TotallyNotHisDadFather does not like her one bit.

Dick: He likes you! I promise!

Kory: Dick, look at him. He's trying to kill me with his eyes.

Dick: No, he just looks like that. Honest. You know how people are always like "if you keep your face like that too long it'll get stuck that way"? Yeah, he didn't listen. Its a problem.

Kory: That's not as reassuring as I feel you think it is.

Anyway. Her friends are like girl. Get out. Run. You have flight. Use it.

(Well, some of them are).

Donna: Oh, great Hera. Tell me you're not thinking "I can fix him." Not this one.

Lilith: Why not? Maybe she can. Have a little faith in her, Donna, JEEZ. What kind of BFF are you? Kory, if you're taking applications, lemme know. The stars are saying now is the time to upgrade.

Terra the Not-Evil On Account Of Judas Contract Happened Very Differently Without Slade's Weird Obsession With Robin To Fuel It and Also Because I Said So, Justice For Terra, and Also Because Without Dick As A Titan More Chaos Energy Was Needed For The Lulz I Mean The Plot: Don't listen to her, Kory. Its a trap.

Lilith: How is it a trap?

Terra: You just want to study this man in a lab and have some strange, unnecessarily convoluted plan to do it vicariously through Kory.

Lilith: ....you don't know me.

Donna: Ladies, please. Focus! We are trying to help Kory decide if she wants to keep dating him.

Lilith: No, you're trying to do that. I, witness to the future, already know that she's going to because they're going to end up getting married and have at least one daughter. Why do you hate your future god-daughter and not want her to be born, huh? Why Donna? Why?

Donna: Maybe because this sounds a lot like the time I almost married Terry because of your witnessing the future. But also lying about it.

Lilith: How many times do I have to apologize for that? I was TRYING to save Roy's LIFE!

Donna: Then why didn't you just say Donna don't marry Roy, he'll die. You don't even have to break up with him, just don't marry him.

Lilith: Because that would be BORING. And I did want you to break up with him. He knows what he did.

Karen: Also, you have definitely never actually apologized for that even once.

Terra: ....yeah, that part didn't sound right.

Lilith: Whatever. The point is they're destined to live happily ever after but if you want to meddle with fate and your best friend's future then fine be my guest.

Karen: Isn't your entire niche on this team sharing visions of the future so we can meddle with fate. Like isn't that your entire deal.

Lilith: Oh no, you left your stove on at home. You should go get that.

Karen: Look there's an easy solution here. Raven, is she lying?

Raven: Yes.

Lilith: This is why people don't like you.

Raven: Also a lie. People don't like me because they find my empathy powers unnerving and I make them self-conscious.

Lilith: Why must you make it so hard to insult you.

Terra: Skill issue.

Kory: Thank you all for this, its been very helpful. I've made up my mind. If we're this dysfunctional and that's never invalidated or lessened my care for any of you, I'm not ready to call it quits on my feelings for him just because he and his family are dysfunctional. Even though they definitely extremely are.

Donna: ....wait. I wanna do-over.

Lilith: Nailed it.

Kory: Also I kinda wanna keep dating him just because of how much Batman doesn't want me to.

Terra: Ooof. Big mood.

Years later, after the Batfamily is no longer self-isolating and fully intermingled with the Titans, JLA and rest of the cape community, while they're all awaiting the birth of Kory and Dick's daughter.....

Lilith: And just think, you all thought I was lying.

Donna: You WERE lying. Raven literally confirmed it.

Raven: No I didn't.

Donna: What are you talking about? We were all there! Karen asked you if she was lying, point blank, and you said yes!

Raven: I know, I remember. Lilith said "oh no, you left your stove on at home. You should go get that." And then Karen asked me if she was lying, and I said yes. I never said anything about Dick and Kory having a daughter. That part was true.

Donna: ....

Terra: .....

Karen: .....

Lilith: LMAO, I have been waiting five years for this specific moment, and you know what? Worth every single second.

Donna: This is why people don't like you.

Lilith: I know, and it is GLORIOUS. Looooooooooool. Also, I call dibs on god-mother. Kory, remember how Donna tried to meddle with fate and prevent the birth of your daughter, should she really be rewarded for that? I was in your corner all along.

Dick: We are not appointing our daughter's god-mother based on dibs.

Terra: I literally saw you tell Roy he could be her god-father after he yelled "Dibs!" just the other day.

Dick: Yeah but that's just because I also told Wally and Garth that they could be god-father as long as they kept quiet about it until Kory and I were fully settled with Ma'ri and ready to deal with the inevitable drama the others would raise when they found out we didn't pick them. Whichever of them figures it out first will be the god-father and with how hyper-competitive they are the other two will be too preoccupied with being pissed he beat them to be mad at me for not picking them.

Terra: You're so weird, I can't even. Why is this working for me.

Lilith: I'm taking notes.

Kory: Should've called dibs when you had the chance.

Donna: ANYWAY. Now that we have Raven's confirmation that Lilith was telling the truth about Dick and Kory back then, this whole god-mother debate is a moot point. I mean, Lilith herself already said she was MY future god-daughter, as I recall.

Lilith: .....well played, Troy.

We still love you.

Pair: Batsibling!GN! Reader x Platonic! Batboys/Batfam

TW/CW: body dysmorphia, ed, comfort, angst to fluff, insecurities, bullying.

Note: I switched pov because I got lazy. This is also my first time writing something like this. But if you are ever suffering ed or bullying, please talk to someone. Handleing this such problems are harmful to you and your body. As much as you think it isn’t, it is. People are there for you, always.

Y/N L/N-Wayne who has a soft stomach, so smooth, a little round from when they were a child.

The youngest of the adopted kids of Bruce Wayne, the one who loves to eat, was always given seconds.

The one who Damian would always make sure you are fed well, his favorite non-blood sibling as he says.

The one who Dick loves to poke and play with their stomach ever since the young child was a baby. A baby who was found in a trash bin.

Jason who would always tell the child what was in the food so he can make sure they eat healthy as well.

Tim who loves to recommend small lunch dates with the foodie sibling.

The sibling who grew and lost a bit of that baby weight, who’s now a young teenager, fresh into middle school. Walking into class, there was a beautiful girl with fair skin and beautiful bright eyes.

The girl stared at the sibling with a slight disgust, seeing the poor teen sit down and pull out their binder and notebook.

The girl started to talk to the teen, telling them how their stomach was popping out. How their arms have too much fat onto it. The sibling didn’t care at first, ignoring it before the girl started to express her own thoughts.

“I would kill myself if I was fat. Literally, I’m so glad I’m skinny. Imagine taking up so much space just from standing?” She giggles with her friends at the table. The teen looked down, frowning as tears welled in their eyes.

Going home the same day, the young child looks at themselves in the mirror. Lifting up their shirt to show their soft belly. The round belly that looks enormous, that looks like it may burst the Jean button off it.

Slapping their stomach lightly, they couldn’t help but feel the tears start to fall. Were they always this fat? Chubby? They thought they already burnt the fat off…

Changing into some old Christmas pajamas, they were baggy enough to cover their body. Laying down on their back, they stared at the ceiling with knitted brows. Maybe they needed to lose some weight? Maybe it was for the better anyways, they kind of felt like they have been gaining some pounds.

For dinner, they sat with the family. Damian by their side as usual, the teenager with green eyes glanced at how his sibling would just pick at the food in the plate. They haven’t even eaten anything much on it.

Dick was currently telling the family at the table about his new day time job as a police officer. He had gotten a promotion. Jason sadly wasn’t at the table, he was eating in the library, not wanting to be seen by the family. Although the young bat could go see the quiet male.

Tim was doing his usual research in the batcave, so it really just left the teen, Bruce, and Damian with Alfred standing by.

“Why haven’t you eaten your food brother/sister?” Damian questions as he puts his silverware down.

Shrugging, the tween could only look at the plate. Seeing the food as the girl’s face who made fun of them. A sour expression fell onto the face of them, “Guess I’m not.. hungry.”

Damian’s eyes widen along with Dick who stopped talking to Bruce. Bruce and Alfred raised their brows. This young bat always loved to eat! Even have seconds… mostly not feeling hungry meant that they were sick.

Dick and Damian surrounded you with worry. “Are you okay?!” Dick says as he pressed a hand against their head. “Why haven’t you told any of us you were sick!?” Damian exclaims, ready to get medicine.

“No! I’m fine, I’m not sick.. just not hungry as I thought.” They explained, pushing their plate away from them. “I’m going to bed.” The tween scoots their seat from the table and walks away to upstairs and into their room. Leaving the men to discuss this strange event.

“What’s going on with them?” Dick says with worry, brows furrowed as he bites his thumb, thinking of the possibilities.

Damian crosses his arms, “I know they aren’t being bullied. To my awareness.” Now Damian feels a little concerned, or more likely ashamed if he hadn’t noticed his sibling being picked on.

Bruce frowns, Alfred taking the uneaten plate and putting it in the microwave in case the young child was ever hungry again.

“I’m sure they’ll tell us if anything is going wrong.” Bruce says, trying to settle his sons’s nerves. They stared at the man before Dick lets out a sigh.

“I hope…”

Next few days or at least a week were exhausting, you stopped eating a bunch. Only drinking water or taking small bites off of your saltine crackers you packed by yourself.

You sped walked past Alfred who held your lunchbox, but you gave him a strained smile and only told him “I packed my own lunch!”

Jason noticed something was wrong with you when Tim came to him saying you declined to go on a lunch date with him to that cafe you wanted to go to. Jason tried to go into your room, but it was locked. Thinking you were probably just trying to study alone, he left. But there was a sinking feeling in his stomach.

The day after, Dick tried to squeeze your stomach. “Here comes the ticket monster Lil bat!” He says as he squeezes your stomach. It was too late for you to even notice that he was behind you.

You smacked his hands angrily, “Don’t touch me! And stop doing that!” You yelled at him. That gained a lot of attention and raised flags for the brothers and father figure you have.

Dick backs up with raised hand, a frown written on his face. “I’m sorry..” he says softly, watching you walk away and go into your room.

“That’s strange…usually they just.. smile and tickle you back…” Tim says as he watches the door slam closed.

Bruce knew by then, you wouldn’t talk about it. The boys stared at the leader of the family, their eyes searching for an answer.

How will they approach this?

Walking into the house, you were shocked to see your brothers and father sitting all arranged into a circle. Staring at you, Alfred takes off your bag due to you being shocked.

Thoughts rushed your head, do they know you’re failing chemistry? Or was it math..you couldn’t tell what was going on other than this seems weird.

Their stares held deep worry and restlessness, you took small walks to them. “What’s going on guys?” You said with a weak smile, trying to lighten up the mood but failing as Jason has you sit by him.

“Kid. We have a feeling that something’s going on with you. Mentally.” Jason says as he place a hand on your upper back. You let out a shaky breath, “what are you guys talking about?”

“We’re talking about how you’ve been acting and your lack of eating.” Damian stated as he has his hands intertwined. “We’re significantly worried for you.”

“You’ve been skipping dinners.” Tim counted on his hand.

“Acting aggressive more lately at a slightest of usual things we use to do.” Dick says with a still frown, remembering how you yelled at him. 

You looked at Bruce for help, maybe to tell them that they’re the ones hallucinating. Bruce only shook his head at your stare, sharing the same concern as his sons.

“As we wish to not say it, we’ve come to the conclusion that… you are starving yourself into an eating disorder.” Dick says lastly. You felt cornered, eyes staring at you like a caged animal. You felt your heart drop, and was your breathing quickening as well?

You couldn’t tell as your vision get blurry, you were fine! Completely fine! Maybe you skipped a few meals, maybe you should’ve been more careful on making it obvious. Making it clear in how you would gag yourself to throw up foods when you ate too much. 

The boys were alerted at your panicking, Jason forced you to look at him as Tim runs off to get something for you.

“Kid, kid! Focus on my voice, focus on the three things you see.” He says sternly. You looked around frantically, seeing the color of your favorite blanket. “[color] blanket..” a nice flower pot by the couch. “Flower…” and then the mug Tim left days ago and hasn’t picked it up to clean it. “Mug…” after naming those three things, you started to calm a bit. Hand a little shaky as Jason rubbed patterns onto your back.

They gave you a moment to speak, you licked your dry lips and swallowed hard. Maybe… you do have an eating disorder, it’s all confusing. Wasn’t it helping you? Wasn’t it safe? You couldn’t help but cry into Jason’s shoulder. The male with a strike of white hair frowns at this and look at his brothers who looked the same as him.

“It’s okay, kid. We can get you help if you need it, we’ll be by your side.” You lifted your face up as you sobbed softly.

“Always lil bat.” Dick says with a soft smile as he looks at you looking back at him.

Tim nods, grabbing you some napkins as you let out all your insecurities to your brothers. Letting them know your deepest thoughts by these past days that went so quick only a month. Even explaining how it even started. You couldn’t help but break down again.

This was too much for you, your small brain thinking how you could even process starving yourself, going on a water diet, forcing yourself to throw up. All that to think it was helping you, only for it to harm you mentally and make you weak.

After breaking down, the boys hugged you tightly. “We still love you.” Jason says, holding you the tightest. All the boys hummed, Bruce smiled at his kids, all huddled up like birds trying to warm each other up.

“No matter what, no matter your appearance, we love you [nickname]” Tim says.

After the moment, Damian wiped your face with his hand with a rare soft smile. Tim brings you water after, with Jason rubbing your back and Dick talking to you still. “If you ever need us, don’t hesitate to talk to any of us.”

“And we mean any sweetheart. We’re your family, so we care for you. Don’t ever think we don’t.” Bruce says, walking over to you and ruffling your [texture] hair.

It took a slow process for you to get back into your habits of eating and being a foodie. Damian went into your class where that girl is. Seeing her expression of seeing THE youngest Wayne brother come into your class.

He glares at her, “You’re expelled by the way.” He says simply and leaves the room. He may have paid the principal to just get the advantage to do that. But no one messes with his sibling.

He loves you more than anything, they love you more than anything. They love you.

Winx & Specialists Dynamics that are so Precious to me

it makes sense that in the show, winx and their non-boyfriend specialists don’t interact much. but!! i’m very insane about codependent found families, and I want them all to love each other. so here’s my take on some tet-a-tet dynamics:

rare pairings:

Musa & Timmy: childhood frenemies. they used to go to the same middle school on Melody, and as type-A tweens do, had an intense, “you’re the only person I match myself to” kind of rivalry. they lost contact after Timmy moved away, chilled out considerably, reconnected in Alfea and had a wonderful banter-filled friendship since. because of how fast they slotted back into a friendship, some of their classmates genuinely thought they were siblings.

Tecna & Riven: got up from a rough patch. from “I dislike you but we both love Musa, so we have to be civil” to “you have more depths to you than I expected” to “now that I understand you, I can’t help but admire certain things about you” to “bitch, you are the only person who is as weird and clueless as I am, ARE YOU READY TO GO TO THE ARCADE AND ANNIHILATE KIDS FOR SHITS AND GIGGLES”

Flora & Brandon: little sister, older brother vibes. of similar temperaments and views, they enjoy spending time over a cup of tea — talking about everything and nothing. it’s therapeutic, almost.

(no one in the group knew that Brandon and Flo were good friends. once, when the two had to team up during a mission, Bloom couldn’t even finish saying: “it would be a good opportunity for you to get to know each ot-“, before the specialist-fairy duo were re-creating the most complicated and choreographed hand shake ever. jaws were on the floor.)

Aisha & Brandon: they are sporties, and they like doing sport things together! they don’t talk aside from exchanging brief encouragements and advice while out, preferring to spend their time in companionable silence. sorta like those dads who never talk to their buddies, but somehow have the strongest and longest bonds ever?

Helia & Bloom: artist besties. Bloom drags Helia out on picnics, where they practice observational drawing (and tiktok trends that Bloom desperately wants to reenact but none of the winx are good at arts); Helia responds by taking her out to see art museums in Magix. it’s a fun dynamic of Bloom being the bubbly gold retriever, and Helia being her black cat.

Tecna & Sky: they didn’t have much of a relationship until year 4. somehow, they both got really, intensely into weaponsmithing and built a joint workshop. they found that they enjoy working alongside each other and value each other’s insights. sky goes to tecna when he needs frank, un-sugarcoated advice, and tecna accompanies sky on hikes and other spirited adventures, for “bonding activities” (because he told her she doesn’t get out of her comfort zone enough). it’s a relationship of deep mutual respect.

Sky & Stella: childhood friends. they knew each other as children and enjoyed playing together (which is how Stella also knew Brandon pre-Red Fountaine). at least, until Stella was unofficially banned from Eraklyon because shenanigans, and they lost contact. they still jokingly call each other “My Lady” and “My Lord”.

Stella & Nabu. Both are flirty and extroverted people, who enjoy the spirit of showmanship. They have a friendly rivalry going of who can fluster the villain of the week the fastest.

canon bf-gf dynamics (dating in canon, open to interpretation otherwise):

Bloom x Sky: liked each other since the first meeting; bonded over being the friend group moms. (on unrelated note: bloom gentle parents her friends, while sky goes all exasperated cig mom on his team and repeats things like: “you better go to sleep right now, or so help me Dragon I will take away your Owl pilot privileges-“)

they are not the most outwardly affectionate couple of the winx, yet they are so wordlessly devoted to each other. sky will follow bloom to the ends of all dimensions, when she gets a calling from powers as mystical as she. bloom will always believe in him and see him as his own man, unlike the many who see him only as his father’s son. they were entwined by fate, long before one had met the other; yet, there’s the trust, the respect, the faith so strong — that could have only come from friendship forged and tested by fire.

Stella and Brandon: the hottest power couple; sole reason behind 60% of all student fairies/specialists/witches queer awakening.

they banter all. the. goddamn. time. these dorks are speaking a whole different language.

they are also most comfortable in each other’s company, being able to be their genuine, less polished selves. stella and brandon are both performers bred and born, playing the roles of a noble princess and a knight. it’s nice, to have a safe reprieve from all that acting.

Aisha and Nabu. their love was one that sneaked up on them. their distance, set by a discomfort at the idea of an arranged marriage, bridged as they transitioned from being reluctant comrades to friendly rivals to unwilling friends to best friends to “if someday the moon calls you by your name, don’t be surprised — because every night I tell her about you”

Tecna and Timmy: partners in crime, ride or die, sunny faith in each other — even when the other person doesn’t believe in themself. I have a whole post about them, go read that ;)

Flora and Helia: they are so. they are. they-

icons. the most romantic couple, the one that sets the standards, the one that gives their friends advice. they are extremely attentive to each other’s needs and tender with each other’s feelings.

flora can recite helia’s poems in her sleep, and trace his drawings with her eyes closed. helia brings mielle presents every time he stops by. flora has tea with helia’s dad every other tuesday; she keeps note of every time helia and saladin are supposed to meet up, to be able to whisk helia away after and distract him from his troubles. helia knows how to care of flora’s plants, and sends her lovingly assorted gift baskets semi-regularly.

Musa and Riven. their relationship is push and pull, is joy then sorrow.

it’s all in a drag of a cigarette, in the vortex of a starless night, in the hoarse laughter. “of all the people in the world, why did it have to be you?” she’ll say and smile.

“ I’m afraid we’re doomed, lover,” he’ll reply, faux-casually, and smile back. both of them will know it’s the truth.

their relationship was not built to last, not for the lack of love or try. maybe they were too similar — both headstrong, unbending, bleeding hearts. maybe they were just different enough not to understand their hurts. nevertheless, it was not built to last — but neither of them would ever bring to regret it. love prevails, no matter in what form in comes, or something like that.

End of the world

Dad!Gojo x Fem!reader // Young Megumi and young Tsumiki // 1k words // fluff, angst if you squint. // Gojo and y/n are both teachers for first years

Your and Gojo’s three students are confused as to see why you and Gojo are walking past each other like you aren’t in love with each other as Megumi recalls yours and Gojo’s first serious fight infront of him.

More of my work 🤍

The three first year students at jujutsu high watched as their two teachers walked past each other as if they’ve never known each other. The usual silly jokes and overbearing affection between the two of you was nowhere to be seen and there was no doubt that the student were being wary of you two. 

Your usual kind demeanour was replaced by a cold hard stare that only seemed to show around Gojo. 

The students were not strangers to your bickering or little arguments but this one seemed different, as if someone had sucked all the warmth and love from the room only to replace it with heartbreak and angst. 

Nobara and yuuji quickly made their way to Megumi to ask him to explain why their two teachers, who seemed perfectly fine yesterday, were ignoring each other.

“Hey Megumi, what’s been going on with gojo and y/n?” Nobara whispered covering one side of her face with her hand as to prevent you and Gojo from overhearing.

“I’ve got no idea, I’ve never really seen them act this way either.” Megumi replied with a shrug.

“I’ve never really ever seen them fight this seriously either but they’re too in love with each other to let one fight end it.. right…?” Yuuji added with a slight frown on his face. 

“Well..There was this one time, a really long time ago where they both had a horrible fight.“ Megumi spoke softly putting emphases on the word ‘really.’

He looked over to Nobara and Yuuji who had an identically shocked face.

“I mean, I know not every relationship is rainbows and unicorns but really how bad was it?” Nobara spoke as her shocked impression settled down.

“I was really young back then so I can’t really remember the details but…” Megumi started speaking as his mind went back to that one night. 

Megumi recalls how one night, Gojo came home late, later than usual. He remembers how when you were preparing him and Tsumiki for bed your eyes couldn’t help but wander towards the clock that was hanging by the door. Even as a 10 year old he could tell your mind was full of worries. At the time, he was also aware enough to know why you were so worried. He can clearly recall how Gojo promised he would be home by dinner that day after skipping dinner for 3 nights in a row, you had accepted his promise with a tight lipped smile - the tension in the air was not gone unnoticed by the two children.

You were braiding Tsumiki’s hair while Megumi was drying his with a towel, you couldn’t help but notice how he’s catching onto Gojo’s habits, Tsumiki was humming a new song she learnt during her music lesson which was abruptly cut short as you finished braiding her hair. 

You called them both over so they could give you a goodnight kiss, Tsumiki went first and headed towards her room needing her alone time as a moody tween. 

As Megumi leaned over to give you a shy kiss on the cheek he paused in between and spoke softly, “Don’t worry he’ll be home.” 

You couldn’t help but smile at the kindness of the 10 year old. 

You gave him a toothy smile as you leaned to give him a kiss on the cheek instead, “Ofcourse he will! And I’m gonna beat his butt for being late again! You don’t worry about it, ‘kay?” You replied with a grin.

Which was responded by a loop sided smile and nod by Megumi as he whispered a goodnight slowly making his way to the bedroom. 

However, all your reassurances went to waste as Megumi woke up to a silent house, the usual lovey dovey atmosphere replaced by cold air.

Did Gojo forget to turn on the heating again? He wondered as he peeked through the kitchen to see you and Gojo in different corners of the room. Your usual humming replaced with silence as Gojo stole glances at you that you seemed to ignore.

Megumi looked at Tsumiki as if asking her what happened with his eyes, Tsumiki just shrugged as she played around with her food. 

Megumi took the seat next to her as he leaned into her ear asking, “Are they okay?” 

“They’ve been quiet since I woke up, i don’t know…but they love each other and they love us so it should be okay.”

Your heart broke at the mature conversation your 11 and 10 year old were having. 

“Oh shit! Look at the time.” Megumi heard Gojo shout as he dropped something in the kitchen.

“Well, don’t you care about being on time now.” You mumbled grudgingly only to be met with Gojo’s guilty eyes boring into your back. 

The entire conversation not going unnoticed by your children who seemed to just grow more worried by the minute. 

“Cmon kids pack your bags time to go! If you’re still hungry I’ll get food on the way. Quick quick quick!” Gojo shouted as he made his way to the living room clapping his hands.

As they were about to leave you went to bid them goodbye with a kiss, a routine you all gained after Tsumiki saw you giving Gojo a kiss everytime he left for missions which resulted in her shyly asking you to give her a kiss when she leaves home too. 

You kissed the children first and the kids held their breath when it was Gojo’s usual turn, and as you leaned into kiss him, the worried expressions turned into relief as they made eye contact with each other silently reassuring each other that everything would be okay. 

This is when Megumi realised that although the two of you may fight, and get upset it doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world. 

So now at age 16, Megumi watches you two ignore each other over a fight you will definitely be over in less than a few hours, he can’t help but grin.

“What are you laughing at?!??” Nobara questioned as she kicked Megumi on the shin.

“They’ll be fine, let’s just get back to training.” Megumi spoke as he got up making his way to the field.

Nobara and Yuuji watched Megumi from the back, “Will he not tell us about the fight?” Yuuji questioned.

“What do i know” Nobara answered, “Whatever, if he says they’ll be fine then they’ll be fine…let’s go!” She added.

English is my first language i'm just illiterate sometimes sorry heh

W.C: 1.8k

!!MINORS DNI!!

You checked your phones screen once more, seeing yet another message from Mark Lee, a fellow member of your new company you had just joined. He had always been flirty behind closed doors, but obviously nothing actually happened. You were close because he was your groups mentor, but with you being the groups oldest member and leader, you always felt a slight competition with him. Which wasn't necessarily good or bad.. but it definitely sparked some competitive emotions from you both. On camera obviously he was so distant that fans would even make videos of you two, claiming you were an annoying fan of his that only joined the company to get close to him. If only they knew how he really was with you.. their heads would explode. The videos didn't bother you all that much, and you naturally just assumed it was his personality to be hot and cold at times.

The bright screen stung your eyes against the darkness of the party you were at. He had sent possibly 10 or more texts. You look back up at Yuna, ignoring his messages again and again.

"So yeah, it's just been crazy trying to schedule everything involved with the debut you know.." You say to her and a couple other girls, taking a sip of your soda.

She nodded back at you, with a concerned expression. "No yeah totally, I remember those days. It was such a pain." After she finished her sentence you felt a pair of large arms wrap around your waist, pulling you into their chest.

"Hey." You heard Marks distinct voice in your ear, resting his chin on your shoulder. You were taken aback and also were quite embarrassed due to the glares you received from the other idols at the party. This was definitely NOT a good look for someone as new as you. A "Rookie".

"What're you doing?" He asked.

You break from his grasp. "Talking with my friends," you reply coldly attempting to break from his grasp. He sighs, "Well I need to talk to you." He murmurs, trying to grab you by your wrist to bring you somewhere, to which you resist.

"I actually was just going to go do- something important." You make up on the spot. Why do you have listen to everything he has to say when he never lets you speak? You make your way through the amount of people, towards Yeojun who was playing beer pong. Yeonjun was someone you looked up to in your company, but he was also someone you'd consider to be a close friend since you went to the same middleschool. He was there for you through every middle-school-heart-break that tore you apart in the tween love kinda way. The emotional support was mutual though, because when he was rejected ONE TIME out of many, his ego was the most hurt you've ever seen and you were there for him.

"Hey, something up?" He pauses. His members sighed and protested in annoyance at him pausing their "intense" game right at its peak.

"No.. I just wanted to see what you were up to." You said looking at him in a "help this guys is following me" kinda way right as mark walked up behind you. He glances between you and mark to let you know he was directly behind you.

"You two know each other?" Yeonjun asked, pulling the oblivious kinda act.

Mark scoffed. "Had the same question." Yeonjun looked down at you, narrowing his eyes seeking some kind of response, or some word of what the hell you wanted him to do right now.

"Look bro, she's jus' gonna play some pong with us real quick. That alright?" Yeonjun hoped he was playing this right.

"So you're tryna get her drunk? If you knew her you'd know y/n can't drink for shit." Well this was embarrassing. Did he really just have to scream that in front of your entire agencies population. Just tell the whole world at that point.

Yeonjun was taken aback by Mark's accusation, "W- Huh?" You were so done. You grabbed marks ear, yanking it so hard he had to lean down to your height. "OW OWWWW" He exclaimed as you dragged him to a random open bathroom and locked the door behind you. Mark was rubbing his red swollen ear, "What the hell is wrong with you-?" but was he was abruptly interrupted by a slap landing across his face, only adding to his existing pain.

He stood there for a multiple of seconds, honestly in too much shock to move. "Can't I ever do one thing without you hanging over my shoulder? Even when I was a trainee for fucks sake I couldn't teach my team one dance myself without you taking over. It was so fucking exhausting you know that?" You raked your fingers through your hair, scrunching your nose in anger. "And now you're doing this bull shit infront of the company?" You were trying to regain your composure, until you heard a small noise come from mark. Did he just-

Mark wasn't staying silent because he was hurt, or because he was listening to your lecture. He was turned on. Fucking turned on. It was a small whimper that fell from his mouth. You let out a small breathy laugh, as you look down noticing the tent in his pants.

"Is this some sort of joke?" You say, still in a slight anger filled tone. "Do you really have a boner right now? for real?" He looked down, immediately attempting to cover himself.

"Wh- No I s-swear it's not what it looks like..." His demeanor completely changed. He was like a scared mouse afraid to be eaten by a hawk, you in this situation. He was squirming as you abruptly grabbed his hand that was covering himself and swatted it out of the way. His light colored pants now having a small wet patch on them.

You laughed again, louder this time. "Aww, what would your trainees that look up to strong leader mark think right now seeing you like this?" You teased walking closer to him as he stepped back. Eventually you closed the gap, pushing him against the wall, gaining a small whine from mark. This would be fun.

"Damn, stop it.." He proteste through clenched teeth. You looked down again. "What? Mad you can't force yourself on me to get off?" You gripped the tent that was pushing against his pants. "Isn't that right markie?"

He lets out a gasp, his face flushed with red in embarrassment especially because of the nickname. "F-Fuck, stop it--" He groans, his hands shakily trying to grab yours in attempt to push it away. He was trying so desperately to keep his cool, but he was practically falling over. "C'mon, stand up straight." Her grip tightens if that was even possible.

"Please.." He was begging you now with his eyes tightly shut, his breaths becoming more labored as he tried to keep a grip on his last ounce of control. "How does it feel? To be the one that's completely controlled." You drop your hand from his crotch. He immediately lets out a whine as you let go of him. He slowly peeks open his eyes, his gaze falling on you as he's panting, sweat beading on his forehead. "Please." He repeated in a small voice, looking at your with desperacy.

"Please what?" You demanded he reply. He paused before replying, knowing as his dignity would dissolve the moment he spoke. "Please.. touch me.. again.." He slowly let out in a quiet whisper, almost a mumble. Tears stung his eyes as the words left his mouth. He screwed his eyes shut in embarrassment as the tears feel down his cheeks. "Do it yourself." You put your hand in front of his clothed cock, to which he whimpers, his hips twitching at the sight of your hand so close to his boner. Quickly he undid his belt, dropping his stained pants to his ankles. His hips quickly press against you through the thin fabric of his boxers, so thin that you could feel every vain, a sign of how badly he wanted you.

You let out a small laugh. His expression is one of pure shame and pleasure. "D-Dont mock me.." He says while shaking his head and sniffling. He was a complete mess. His legs shaking in pleasure, tears still falling, his hips hitting your hand at a constant pace. Precum leaked furiously causing a sticky feeling inside his boxers, which was rather uncomfortable, but he wasn't about to complain right now. You were getting impatient, wanting to get back to your friends before they got too suspicious. "I think I'm gonna cum.." he whispered. "Don't you fucking dare." You pressed his hips against the wall, his large body crashing against the hard wall. You pulled the band of his boxers down, the head of his pretty cock hitting his belly as he whines at the feeling.

"God, who knew you were so fucking easy hm?" You rub your thumb over his tip slowly. "Controlling you wasn't as challenging as you made it seem."

"I'm n-not eas-" You pump his cock at a ruthless pace as he latches onto you to stop himself from tumbling over. "Please-ah- so close..." He was on the verge, but you weren't planning on making this last longer than needed. You sped up your pace, other thumb teasing the slit of his tip once again. Without warning he came, the warm liquid gettin all over your forearm along with all over the bathroom floor. "Seriously? I was nice for once and this is what you do? So filthy" You say, grasp going back onto his cock, continuing to stroke him after his orgasm. "W-ait..y/n I cant- ah.. Holy shit- " He was thrashing around, relentlessly twitching as overstimulation washed over him. You stopped, not wanting to torture him too much.

You walked to the sink to wash your hands off, turning around to let out a laugh as you saw him putting his pants back on. "Clean the floor." You demanded as you flung open the door, heading back the party.

The bright lights blinded you, still feeling worked up after what you just did. In the haze you bumped straight into yeonjun who was completely wasted. His arm lazily flung around your should. "Y/n...?Wherv you beeennnn" he giggled but he smelt terrible. Great, more chores. But maybe this could add to the fun?

[paci-papa]

It's not right! You aren't a baby! You're a big girl!

At least that's what you keep telling yourself.

Yes, you agreed to let Papa treat you as his daughter. But, you are a middle, not a little!

Of course, you love it when Papa and his friends talk to you like a child! It makes your princess parts all tingly.

Sure, you might occasionally enjoy hosting a tea party for your dolls and stuffies. But, that didn't mean anything, even tweens like acting babyish sometimes.

Also, maybe you were occasionally caught watching Miss Rachel instead of more mature shows like My Little Pony. There's nothing wrong with giving your brain a little break sometimes!

And the bedwetting? Well, you were a bedwetter into your teens the first time around, so why would the not-so-occasional accident shouldn't mean anything as to your middle cred now.

If only that was how Papa saw it.

But, here you find yourself, stuck in a playpen, dressed in a onesie, on the verge of your first daytime 'accident' in decades, all because Papa 'put the puzzle pieces together' and determined that this is 'what you really wanted.'

You let out a cry of shame as, with a loud hiss, your body gave out, and you soaked the padding of the diaper you wore. Your diaper.

Tears roll down your cheeks as you clutch Samson, the pink teddy bear you took everywhere with you, and realized that no matter how much you protested, how unfair this was, or how big you really were, from now on, this was your life.

jaycecait friendship/siblingism is VERY important to me so here are some headcanons :

1) caitlyn hated being an only child, always bored and wanting somebody to look up to and confide in (especially because she struggled to make friends as a pretty shy kid). so when her parents introduced her to jayce she jumped at the opportunity to have someone older than her that she could look up to as a role model. she would go to his lab and pester him about his research, ask if he needed help studying or if she could quiz him. at first he finds her annoying, but not wanting to be rude since she’s his sponsors’ daughter, but eventully he becomes used to her company (even enjoys it) and gets worried when she doesn’t visit for a while. he realises he quite likes being an older brother figure (since he’s also an only child) and giving her advice, helping her with homework etc. he secretly takes a lot of pride in how much she looks up to him.

2) caitlyn is initially lowkey in awe of jayce. she thinks he’s like the coolest person she’s ever met, and is always wanting to be helpful and is constantly bragging to people that she’s his assistant. but as cait gets older she grows out of this, and very quickly goes from being in awe of him to just making fun of him constantly. she mimics his mannerisms and speech, dresses up as him and does very unflattering impressions (which viktor finds hilarious). jayce starts to get genuinely annoyed by it, because caitlyn knows exactly how to get under his skin, and he starts to tease her too in a very brotherly way. like the ‘not touching can’t get mad!’ kinda teasing, it’s really stupid.

3) to continue with them teasing each other i’m imagining them at a fancy dinner party at the kiramman house, and everyone around them is politely talking meanwhile jayce and caitlyn are sitting at the far end of the table balancing spoons on their noses, flicking stuff at each other, stealing each other’s food etc. cassandra always fixes them a look and they go ‘he/she started it!’ and point fingers. they’re just so sweet i can’t deal anyways

4) jayce was one of the people who helped caitlyn realise she was a lesbian. she was sitting in his office and unloading her tween problems about how all of the girls at her school were obsessed with the boys and how annoying she found it, doing the classic young queer thing of ‘why do girls want boyfriends so much they’re grossss, hanging out with girls is so much better?’. and jayce is like are you not interested in the boys at school? and cait is like ew no. and he’s like have you ever thought you might like girls? and caitlyn is then like… huh, interesting. they then don’t talk about it again until a couple of months later when caitlyn develops a huge crush on one of the girls at her school, and she tells jayce EVERYTHING. she goes to his lab every day and fills him in on all of the drama, like ‘she smiled at me today!’. he listens attentively to all of it.

5) jayce introduces caitlyn to viktor as his sister, which is the first time he has ever referred to her as that. he doesn’t even notice that he did it, but it means so much to caitlyn. she gives him a huge hug before saying goodbye that day which surprises jayce a little. viktor later says something like ‘your sister seems nice’, and jayce is like oh she’s not my sister she’s just the kid of my sponsors. and viktor is like but you introduced her to me as your little sister? this is the moment jayce kinda realises how important caitlyn is to him too, since he’s also an only child who never experienced having a sibling, and he fully accepts his big brother role with caitlyn.

6) viktor also initially doesn’t like cait and thinks she’s disruptive and distracts jayce, but jayce seems to enjoy her company so viktor doesn’t mind. but eventually they both bond over swapping embarrassing jayce stories, and viktor loves explaining their research to her because of how genuinely interested she is by it and they basically just nerd out together. jayce loves how well they get along, as they’re both such important people to him, and sometimes he sits back while they talk and just watches them all proud and giddy (until they gang up and start making fun of him, then he doesn’t like it so much).

7) caitlyn IMMEDIATELY picked up on the jayvik tension. she met viktor literally once and hung out in the lab with them for a bit, and when viktor left the room she immediately says to jayce okay what the hell is going on there? and jayce gets all flustered, and she teases him being like jayce has a cruuuuush!

8) jayce is often on the receiving end of all of caitlyn’s girl troubles, and one time after she got broken up with he came over with comfort food, and they sat and talked for a whole evening just eating and crying and laughing.

9) caitlyn mourned jayce heavily after the war, his loss had a huge effect on her. she lived in denial for a while, not wanting to worry or burden vi, but when going through some of her old things she finds an old picture of them. it’s her as a kid in jayce’s lab, and they’re both grinning at the camera (viktor is taking the photo). she breaks down sobbing when she sees it and vi comes running in. she hugs her and looks at the photo in cait’s hand, realising instantly what was going on. they sit in a crumpled heap on the floor as caitlyn cries and vi strokes her hair, her own tears falling silently. it hits for both of them in that moment : they’d both lost a sibling.

10) caitlyn wrote jayce’s name on her slip of paper.

the end i might add more idk

finished MAP part yayayay!!!! For Meowno's Ravenpaw AU MAP

As always, more thoughts under the cut.

Time Spent: ~9.5 hours

This was FUN I had FUN !!! Less so in my initial lipsyncing where I had sooo many frames and kinda lost what style I even wanted with it. HOWEVER I took a break, looked at some anime-style animation (hi pokemon horizons intro) and redid it!!!

I think I ended up losing the direct anime style, but it was fun nonetheless!! Other influences are probably the Writing On The Wall frostpaw pmv by Icefelis, for the cat drawing style !!

my part ended up being a bit different from the storyboard (reframing the first shot for a cooler stomp, and adding in extra camera movement/acting in the second shot) and it was SO worth it !!! yippee yippee yippee

SPEAKING of the first shot, I tweened!! Krita has a very basic tweening interface (labeled as "animation curves") and I was able to use it for my needs !! YIPPEE

it came out AWESOME im very happy with it !!!! (ignore that the gif of the final shot is missing camera shake, that was added in post)

the spiral around the sun wasn't in the refs but its another idea im SUPER happy with coming up with !!! I think it goes along with the color palette in making the bright sunny day look ominous and spooky!!!

I whipped up those BGs SUPER fast too. awesome awesome awesome

I also really like how the lineart looked before being homogonized, so here's a gif of that too!!!!

and my beautifl beautiful smear frame and son

First Year Besties! <3 Sirius & James

I love this so much! Thank you @aejiee for allowing me to include it in my fic (Chapter X - Quidditch and Quarrels). Here is the original post.

I just finished editing The Heir and The Spare for what I *pray* is the last time. Every time I read it, I love it more. (But I'm really ready to move on.) And it's even better now most of my technical writing errors and other minor issues have been addressed. The learning curve is real and steep people. This was my first fic. Second one is also up. Third one is coming in February. <3

Can more people make sweet artwork of these characters as tweens!?!? I mean, is it not adorable. <3

[akkpipitphattana]

I've seen a lot of ppl frustrated at Kant/the Captain for meeting up outside the bar, but my take on it was that was a deliberate power play by CC (not that I don't think he's inept enough to do so out of sheer stupidity!) - Kant had clearly been ignoring his calls, as implied by his convo with Style and explictly seen in his convo with Bison (and when he says he's sick of his 'customer' flip-flopping and doesn't want to talk to him anymore, that's obviously a declaration of intent vis a vis continuing his relationship with the police), and what do cops do when their informants aren't co-operating? They pile on the pressure. And one way to do so is to turn up in front of their informants in public spaces, because they are happy to use the threat of blowing their cover as leverage - talk to us, or else we'll make sure everyone sees/knows what you are. Wouldn't surprise me if they had someone tracking Kant and CC sent him a message along the lines of 'either you come out or we come in.' Look at Kant's body language - he doesn't want to be there, he's frustrated, he's on edge, but at this point he's also visibly exhausted and probably on some level thinking slightly self-destructively - if he gets caught then at least it'll be over, at least CC can't use him anymore, at least he doesn't have to tell Bison himself and see with his own eyes what the truth does to him.

I know fandom in general is sympathetic to the ACAB sentiment, but I'm getting the feeling ppl don't fully appreciate just how fucked up the dynamic between a handler and an informant can be at the best of times, let alone when the handler is corrupt or at the very least abusing their position! I've seen (valid) accusations of grooming levelled against Lilly, but it's not something that only happens to children - all it takes is a significant power differential and someone who is at risk. And we've seen CC using the classic combo of praise and pressure - he switches from flattering Kant ('I know you can do this', 'you certainly lived up to my expectations') to threatening him (which goes beyond the initial outright blackmail - when he says stuff like 'you think they'll let you live once we arrest them?', that is a threat, that is him saying to Kant: we won't protect you - you quit now, you're on your own).

I really appreciated your tags on the height as power play thing, because that jumped out at me when I watched that scene, and it was so sad seeing Kant desperately trying to wrest back the upper hand and suddenly looking so much younger and more vulnerable as soon as CC stood up. And I admit we're veering into fanon rather than canon now, but it just makes me even more curious about his timeline - how old he was when he got caught? Did CC start off as a sort of quasi-father figure? Is that how he reeled him in? Did it begin, not with blackmail, but with manipulating Kant into wanting his approval? Perhaps my most burning question, however, is: what if this isn't even the first time he's been used as a honeytrap?? And I know it's most likely just First being incaptable of not having ridiculous chemistry with every single man who so much as breathes in his vicinity (let's face it, there's a reason the top three 'ghost ship' pairings on that poll are all First-based! But isn't it also because of the potential Kant brings as a character - the potential backstory tween him and Style/CC, the potential hate-sex with Fadel...), rather than anything deliberate but...the *vibes*! If you lean into that side of things and headcanon that yes, Kant did in fact fuck that cop, then phew, there is SO much to unpack there!

This is why I don't get viewers sleeping on Kant - imo he's the most interesting character! There are so many layers! Out of the main four, we probably know the least about him, and part of that is because we can't even trust that what we've ostensibly learned is even true! That whole riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma thing? That's him! And not even because he's that complicated a person deep down - most of the meta I've read here has, I reckon it'll turn out, already nailed it. It's just that a combo of the tricksy and subtle way he's been written/played and the narrative role he's been given requires us to do some of the legwork ourselves (by which I apparently mean, you know, actually paying attention and caring??) to determine what in his words/actions/feelings/face is authentic and what's not, and when, and why, etc (heaven forbid we have to read between the lines!). Maybe some more casual viewers aren't used to that in their bls, and I totally get that ppl go into shows for different reasons and some just want the light entertainment/aesthetic appreciation of it all and aren't interested in deep dives and 10,000 word analyses, and that's absolutely their prerogative! We've all been there! But equally, you don't then get to complain about the writing/acting/characterisation when, by choice, you've skipped/missed/misinterpreted what's being put onscreen (disclaimer: I'm not saying no criticism allowed - there's things I'd have tweaked - just not when it's unfounded cos it's based on viewer indifference/ignorance). I don't want to use the term 'spoon-feeding', it feels ungenerous, and yet...!

Eek, this got away from me. Long story short: don't underestimate the lengths CC will go to just to keep Kant dancing to his tune, including risking his cover by showing up outside his favourite bar!

first of all, thank you for such a long ask, i love getting things like this in my inbox and be prepared for an equally long essay of my own shskdhd i will put it under a cut since your ask in itself is pretty long, but i agree with everything you said basically

i feel like every complaint i hear about kant just leaves me so very baffled. like at a certain point, you’re just coming up with reasons to be mad at him. and like i really wish that people would just fess up to the fact that they just don’t like him. that fundamentally something about him annoys them and that’s okay! you don’t need to like every character, but it pisses me off when people try to justify their dislike of anything by pulling reasons out of their ass. and like, okay, i understand that i obviously over analyze the shit out media i enjoy, and there are a lot people that don’t do that and watch with their brain turned off or just don’t put all the little things together. and that’s fine, but if you’re gonna complain about things at least make sure you’re complaining accurately. like some people didn’t even realize that christ was a cop until ep6 and apparently thought kant was doing it all for money?? when in their FIRST scene together, it is made explicitly clear that not only is christ a cop, but that kant is being blackmailed into this in order to keep his brother in his custody. you may not personally agree with everything he does, you may disagree how much of a choice he has in everything he does, but that does not change his motivations or the power that christ holds over him - and if you don’t realize at least those things, it’s not even a matter of media literacy, you are just not paying attention! or you’re skipping scenes and like, im not telling you how to enjoy shows, if you wanna skip scenes go ahead! but you can’t then complain about things that aren’t actually happening just because you tried to piece together what happened in the scenes you skipped 💀

and this complaint is especially silly because not only does kant explicitly emphasize that he’s been avoiding the captain and therefore we can assume the captain showed up to put pressure on him, but i feel like it’s been made pretty obvious that he doesn’t really have a choice in the meet up spots regardless? like they either meet at the police station/christ’s office, or he shows up in places that kant already is to talk to him, like the pool or the bar. so, i feel like getting mad at kant for that is so stupid? especially considering even IF meeting at the bar had been kant’s decision… he didn’t know bison was gonna show up?? he thought bison was in hiding and it’s his friend’s bar, so it’s a perfectly reasonable place for him to be and to be willing to meet up with the captain like?? he could not have predicted bison showing up after disappearing for a week post-failed murder attempt. like be serious.

when it comes to the acab aspect, i think trying to dive into people’s actual beliefs on that is a can of worms that will not end well shskdhd but in the very least, looking at it from a media perspective, i think in general people expect us to be supposed to root for the cops. like whether or not what you personally believe, the general sentiment in most media is that the cops are the good guys - because that’s the way we’re trained to believe that in society at large, so more often than not, it’s assumed that the cops in most shows are the good guys.

however, when you walk into a show like the heart killers, where 3/4 of our main protagonists are criminals (two murders and a former car thief) and the genre is explicitly a romcom, you have to also understand that the cops in a show like that are not gonna be the good guys! and i think in general, you have to be willing to understand that your personal morals and beliefs are not going to line up with the things these characters are doing. this is a show about assassins! if you’re going to try and argue for who’s morally in the right or who’s the most fucked up one, maybe this isn’t the show for you. and that’s okay!

all that to say you SHOULD be suspicious of the captain and his intentions - you should not trust him as some morally good figure because he’s been explicitly shown to be blackmailing and manipulating kant in all of this! he is a villain, explicitly so. and while i know we don’t have an exact age for when kant’s parents died and he had to start raising babe or for when he got caught, it’s very safe to assume this has been a long time thing. kant says their dad died young, babe says that kant raised him, so kant had to have been young when he had to start taking care of babe, and i’m assuming also pretty young when he got caught for his car thefts. so, it would not at all shock me if the captain saw a young, college-aged kant, who’d just lost his father and was desperately trying to keep himself and his pre-teen brother afloat, and saw an opportunity to put on the mentor role and mold this kid into what he wanted and needed. i think the lilly comparison makes perfect sense - because we’ve already been shown time and time again the similarities between the captain and lilly and the ways they manipulate kant, bison, and fadel. this being another way theyre similar would be no shock to me.

nor would it be a shock if the captain also made the relationship sexual at some point and kant having daddy issues and therefore being into it makes perfect sense as well shskdhd like you said i think it’s a combo of first having insane chemistry with everyone but also just kant’s character making these dynamics interesting - which is why first was the perfect casting choice they could have made shskdhd kant’s character in general is exceptionally fascinating to me, but i feel like i’ve made that pretty obvious with all my kant posting, and i don’t get how anyone can just write him off or view him as being one dimensional in anyway when he has SO MANY layers to him. he’s incredibly complex and that’s what i adore about him.

yandere! platonic miguel w a reader who isn't treated too well by their parents in their dimension and tries to be at HQ a lot to escape please?

Ty for ur time!

♡ Escape ♡

Summary: Your family is mistreating you and Miguel notices (Platonic!Yan!Miguel O’Hara x GN!teen/tween!reader)

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

♡ You loved being a spider-person. Although it wasn’t the powers, or the love from the public for your super-hero persona, or even really saving people that you loved about it. You liked being able to hide. You liked swinging your way up to the top of a building and staying there for hours, away from home until you absolutely had to home.

♡ So when you were introduced to the spider-society, of heroes just like you, of course you wanted to be there. You stayed there for hours, even late in the night. Even doing mundane things, just at HQ instead of home.

♡ Miguel of course noticed. Yes, you were an “annoying kid” as he told himself. But you also helped him, you were strong and helped him track down anomalies. He didn’t want to admit it, but he had grown fond of you. You were just a silly kid, he didn’t outwardly say it but he felt like he was responsible for you. Perhaps it was the father in him, but he felt the need to care for you, keep you safe.

♡ He did notice that you spent a lot of time at HQ, but more specifically in his office. You would just say hello to him and sit on the floor. He was a bit annoyed at first but you weren’t interrupting so it didn’t bother him to much. He did notice that you would just… sit there. You wouldn’t do anything spider-man related, you just exsisted. You would eat in there, watch things on your phone, do your homework, watch him do stuff on the monitors. You did everything in his office, maybe because you felt safe with him.

♡ Miguel noticed, but foolishly didn’t think much of it. He actually liked you, so it didn’t bother him too much. Maybe it was the father in him, or maybe that you clearly were trying to help him. But he felt protective over you, you were just a kid after all.

♡ What he definitely noticed and was concerned about is when one day, you showed up wearing your hero mask. You kept your spider-person mask on. But not in battle, just hanging out in his office. You were just watching him do stuff on the monitors while wearing your hero mask. Of course, you were hiding a bruise but no one knew.

♡ Although you eventually couldn’t take it anymore, all of your emotions erupting out at once. So you went to the only person you trusted, the only person who made you feel safe. Which was Miguel. You walked into HQ crying, keeping you mask on to try and conceal your tears. And you just hugged him and he rocked you side to side as if you were a baby.

♡ After you tell him, he knows exactly what he has to do. How could he ever let you go back to a family like that!? So you stay with him for that night. But he convinces you to stay with him longer, your family isn’t safe for you to be around. Perhaps he may need to pay a visit to your parents, they were going to be your canon event anyways so he might speed that up.

♡ You’re only a child. Nothing is exactly safe for you in your universe. Not your family, and especially not being a hero! So he begins to isolate you, convincing you to stay home. But it’s better than your parents so you gladly accept being isolated and kept away from the rest of the world. But at least you’re getting loved, being cared for and doted on by your real papa.

Thunderbolts* Era Bucky Barnes × Enhanced! Wife! Reader Headcanons

TW: mild cursing, mentions of fighting, (not really triggers): domestic Bucky, children

○ you and Bucky get married almost as soon as he comes back from the blip. Neither of you want to chance missing the opportunity again in some tragedy. To his surprise, he also returns to a set of twins: Grant and Rebecca, who are nearing five years old at the time.

○ post marriage pre congressional candidacy, you and Bucky welcome a son: George.

○ Bucky then later would take a step away from the fight and run for a position in congress. You found it a bit of a strange choice at first, but continually supported him. "Mom, Dad's campaign ad is on!" One of the twins would call from their seats in the living room of the house, now tweens.

○ handling two tweens and a toddler was no easy feat. The twins could get a bit rowdy, and George was in constant need of some sort of attentious care. "Give it back!" was how any argument started over any material item. "Rebecca James, Grant Samuel!" You'd scold. They knew they were in trouble when they heard you use their middle names. However, that wouldn't keep them from continuing. Most times, you had to physically pull them away from each other with your powers, since their natually enhanced strength kept you from just stepping between them.

○Bucky knew how hard it was for you to balance mom life and mission life, even if you had managed to do so in his absence. Once he is elected as a congress official, he had more time at home with the kids when he wasn't in a meeting or doing press. That's when Sam was a trusted sitter.

○ you'd walk into the house to find Bucky cooking, a sauce stain sticking out like a sore thumb on his white button down and George giggling in his high chair with a fistful of spaghetti-o's. He was so focused on following the recipe perfectly. "And this, my dear husband, is why i take care of dinner." You say half-jokingly as you walk in after having a long mission debrief. "Just look at your shirt. And I just finished laundry. Hand it over. I'll have to pretreat it so that doesn't stain it forever." Bucky gives you his shirt. "You're on ref duty while I take care of this."

○ yeah, the twins are absolute menaces even for Bucky. And it doesn't get any easier when it's found out that Grant inherited your powers. "Hey, no powers in the house!" Bucky would tell them.

○ you had not an ounce of trust when you saw Valentina stop by with the files. "You're doing this again?" You ask.

○ "yeah doll, you won't believe these kids. And you'll never guess who's here. Fucking Walker." Bucky would tell you over the phone. "Say hi to the kids for me."
