[gayemoji]

oh yeah okay go ahead kiss a ninE year old what the fuck !!! WHAT THE FUCK !!!

whatever credit i was giving chase before null and void i never said it

#even weorder is that the showrunners even made it a fucking plot point HUH ??? WHAT ARE YALL DOING ??? #the writers really want him to be the antagonist FINE you got me hes the worst forever #also i found out the actors actual parents founded a fucking anti immigration party here in aus so thats cool 💀 #not that that reflects on HIM as an individual whatever whatever #the point is maybe i hope the shows dont give hima big fuckin redemption and maybe i like how awful house treats him now <3 #deserved idiot be better next time #im bapping him over the head with a roll of newspaper every time he speaks like im his cartoon character father #speaking of maybe the writers were right to give him his whole sympathy story BEFORE they nerfed his moral compass #he still has an australian accent in an american show tho so its gonna be hard to shake this familarity bias i have for him 💔 #house md #house s2 #m #live

[brickwoods-amusement-park]

i was thinking about the bap crew parents again and I Haven't shared much info about them </33 long story short the majority of them are in a Messy polycule (only messy bc malcolm (sophia's dad) doesn't really tell his wife (penelope) about it and also he and penelope dont actually love each other (dont get married to appease your dad who's sorta in charge of a cult guys))

but anyways. nic (rebecca's dad) has had an on and off relationship w/ malcolm in which he's tried to convince malcolm to leave the cult and Not to raise children in that hell (he. did not listen <3) so thats Really messy (nic is really in love with malcolm and juliet (rebecca's mom) knows this and is okay w/ it but she also wishes that malcolm would listen too (she cares about him) but also malcolm is really repressed with how he actually feels about nic and wont admit how much he loves him) (oh and nic and malcolm met and were bffs when malcolm was younger and was allowed out of the cult to meet other people and thats when their relationship started (and a wife. yk))

also nic & juliet are dating blair's dad (jason) and they are healthy !! <33 very lovely and loving however jason's wife (maria) is not a good person :( and they don't have a loving relationship however she's aware of jason's relationships and despite the fact that they've talked about the relationships and are Supposed to be open, she doesn't tell jason about her hookups with other people (including her kinda-sorta-not-really relationship with penelope- who also doesn't mention anything to malcolm)

anyways that was a lot of info on people yall Do Not know and wont be Main parts of the show tbh but if yall have questions i would love to hear them i've made up so much unnecessary lore for them </3

#bap rambles #bap: families #im procrastinating hw rn so this is just fast and silly lol #and yeah sorry there's cheating and stuff. i dont condone that shit btw. just saying. #but they are toxic and there are sad themes to the show so </3 #oh and parents not mentioned here: #joyce and link- davids moms. very happy and amazing i love them #(they are also friends with most all the parents and support nic attempting to get malcolm to leave the cult) #(except i think nic wouldn't Say cult. but he would say like “bad situation” bc he doesn't want to betray malcolm's trust) #and also not mentioned: sunni's mom Lolita </3 #she's Bad. sunni doesn't call her mom (would call her lola when he was younger) but yeah she wasn't so great :( #but she's also not part of this mess Entirely soo i didn't need to mention her lol #okay. idk if Any of this makes sense but im tired so Post !

[axellis-archv-2]

unrelated however in my envisioned overhalliday lore im recognizing some ...hmm..shall we say some interactions w him && baptiste

#📗 my post #baptiste btw is like so fine i feel bad bc he was introd in that time where i was NOT playing ovw so as such i just . #like . fail to pay attention to stuff abt him . like him + echo #BUT i did (finally) watch his origin story recently and i think theres a lot in there #handshake emoji ppl whos parents died && felt they had to turn to a life of crime #but bap recognizes that he doesnt have to do that && leaves and overhalliday like . #is in a weird stage where he feels like he cant but he can still do good even in his current circumstances. i think

We're Finalists - BAPS Awards

We’re Finalists – BAPS Awards

Last week, I received an email informing me that I was nominated for an award and had made it through to the finals. I couldn’t believe it and felt really honoured that I had been nominated for an award. When I first started this blog, I was just writing about the adventures we got up to and how I was feeling on a day to day basis as I didn’t want other SEND parents feeling that they were alone.…

People who advocate communal living over the nuclear family don’t know anything about communal living or what it’s like, and probably believe the nuclear family was invented in America in the 50s.

Fact: nuclear family styled homes have been the norm among Germanic and Anglo-Saxon since medieval times. Further evidence suggests nuclear families existed in the Stone Age.

Fact: communal living is usually a recipe for gerontocratic inbred filth-living. “Oh, grandpa molested the girls again. Oh well, he’s the patriarch and we can’t do anything about it. Time to go sleep on a wide bed with my six cousins. My mom will cook for me until she dies. They’ll arrange marriages for me because how the fuck would people date in a living situation like this?”

Fact: the nuclear family offers more freedom for the kids and the parents both

Fact: the only reason people rail against the nuclear family now is because homes are so expensive. If homeownership became easy and commonplace again, people would want to live on their own with their spouse and young kids

This is all clearly very BAP influenced, and your latter three "facts" are just opinions (BAP's opinions I gather), and not very well substantiated ones at that.

More importantly, the longhouse arrangement is not what I was referring to when I talked about "more communal child rearing". I described a situation in which

Children have physical autonomy to move around within a community freely and leave the home without parental oversight

The responsibilities of childcare are understood to be distributed throughout the community, to the various adults in whatever measure they can provide

Children are free to associate with those adults they feel most comfortable around. I have heard (but not corroborated), in the context of the Caribbean where I gather childcare is often more distributed in this way, of children essentially "voluntarily adopting themselves" into other families that they liked better than their own.

The interactions that adults have with children are essentially open to public scrutiny by other adults, an expansion of the way that universal public schooling makes the abuses of parents more visible to other adults who can intervene.

The situation you describe, where "grandpa can molest the girls because he's the patriarch", is precisely the situation I'm trying to avoid. That is the outcome of nuclear family. Nuclear family, children isolated to the home and treated as property of their parents with no say in the matter, that's a child abuse factory.

BAP is all aesthetics. I'm not saying he has nothing of value to offer at all (I don't know, I haven't read him), but he does not have policy, he does not offer mechanisms. I (attempt to) offer mechanisms. They might not be perfect, or fully fleshed out, but they are a start. Come debate me at that level instead of saying "FACT: [opinion]".

[jams-sims]

I don't have much to say about Tallulah letter. That hasn't already been said because a lot of the opinon boil down to- I am an audience member so I see everyone story. An how dare she not understand the truama that the other kids go through. The letter in itself is very child coded. It very she a kid, so she is inherently selfish and thinks about herself. While also trying to act mature for her age etc etc. Some good rp.

This actually makes me want to talk about something. That I don't think is givin enough credit but each kid specifically matches their parents almost perfectly. And this is why Quackity needs to pay for that therapy bill.

I noticed it because I saw someone say "well The other eggs talks amongst themsleves a lot."

An I went on shit that so true, which lead to Tallulah feeling alone because when she is with Philza. He is talking to her or he talking to Chayanne and pulls her in.

Philza does not pay attention to chat, he turns off notifcations and the only person he replies to are people getting on his nerves or when his wife says something out of pocket in the twitch chat. LMAO!! Brahhh i love Kristen . We are just crows and he will bap us if we get out of line.

Idk about Forever but I know Bad is very active with his chat.

Not Philza, when its egg time, its egg time. Thats attention is something that Tallulah really needs. Which Philza can give with ease he does not insert himself in a lot of stuff.

That being said they could easily make cucurucho his long lost child. He would drop from fuck the feds to fuck the feds but my son my white bear son I love him and he can do no wrong.

Also this is such good ass charactization for the death family. They are isolated being such when you are able to get in there they value you a lot. Because this makes me think back to when Chayanne was going to all those dugeons while Philza was away. An he talked about how they didn't feel the same, how he wasn't having fun. He himself is very isolated he doesn't want to wake up unless its Philza.

I mean i could go into it more send me ask if you want but yeah. Its just some good ass stuff out there for them eggs.

My Overwatch headcanons part 1

Support addition

(Please respect my headcanon there just headcanons) Also this took hours for me to do my ppor hands TvT

Lifeweaver/Niran Pruksamanee

He smells like dew and fresh leafs from the tree's, he has this nice scent to him which is very sweet but not too sweet.

My boy hate's styling his hair since it's so long but he manages to take good care of it even though it's a hassle for him.

He's very close to Sym but loves to bother her once in awhile but know's she can put up with his non-sense even though he tends to do the most craziest thing ever.

Niran love's his parents very much but honestly he wish that would would understand why he's on the run than bother him of coming home or turning his long life project in to Vishkar.

Enjoys the company of both Hanzo and Sym since he grew to bond with them but it's also nice to have someone to talk too.(bonus points there tea friends)

Loves teasing others, mainly he doesn't even realise he's teasing people until later on since he sometimes doesn't even know if he's teasing or not.

He tends to listen to some of Lucio music and give his input in by giving him some advice but so far he has no complaints about his music.

There are times were he will accidentally life grip the wrong person even though, he was suppose to pull someone else to safety but if he pulled the wrong person who happened to be in front of him as he apologised none stop but will get mad at the person he was suppose to pull for charging in blindly.

He misses his sibblings and parents but does write letters to them saying that he's still alive and well.

Him and Symmetra are still gossip buddies since he would spill some of the tea that he knows.

His date with Bap went better than expected but he might go on another dinner date with him again.

People assume he's a vegan but in reality he isn't but doesn't eat too much meat he'll have once in awhile but not everyday.

His favourite food is mainly Pumpkin coconut soup, usually his mother knows how to make it but he can replicate it with no problem.

He and Hanzo are pen pals..That's it their just pen pals.(but there secret besties)

People often tend to mistake his kindness for flirtatiousness which happens almost all the time.

Know's that the others hate when he grips them to safety even though it's for there own good since there a bit reckless(mainly Genji and Rein)

He may not look like a person who enjoys bugs but he does, he probably picked up a few of them and showed them to his parents when he was younger and maybe as well towards Sym when they were room mates much to her dismay since he finds him interesting.

While he was room-mate's with Sym he was very well organize but whenever he was working on his project he would go on a no sleep streak just to get it done (Sym had to convince him to get his beauty sleep)

Has his own skin care routine (You cannot tell me he doesn't have his own skin care routine)

In his spare time he enjoys to meditate with either Zenyatta or Hanzo since he enjoys there company.

He's known for stealing food from the fridge but as of right now he's the one who steal Hanzo cake in the middle of the night and watches the chaos ensues as Hanzo accuses a few people who had eaten his cake.(Has thrown Kiriko under the bus once or twice to save himself from Hanzo wrath)

Love's to eat spicy food and enjoys seeing people reaction since he doesn't look like the type of person who enjoys spicy food.

He has ADHD.

Hate's Vishkar with a passion and wishes that his dear friend Satya would understand his whole point of how Vishkar isn't meant to help people.(Which is another reason why he"Graduated early")

He and Ashe bond a bit on their parental issue's/trauma to one another even though there almost similar it's different in there own way.

Has a sassy attitude when things tends to go south depending on how the mission goes.

He and Hanzo are close but not that close unlike Satya since he knew her longer than Hanzo.

Enjoys playing horror games even though he may not look like the person who enjoys it .

He actually worries for Moria, since he doesn't like that fact she's killing herself all in the name of science just to help others, Even though he knows what she's doing is wrong.

Completely understands Baptiste point of few for Cassidy since he too finds the cowboy very attractive as well

Ana Amari

She has regrets on being a horrible mother to Fareeha ever since she basically disappeared but moreover she just abandoned her daughter and wishes to make amends with her

Ana doesn't feel anger towards Amelie (Widowmaker) as she shot out her eye, she has no ill will towards her in all honestly she feels upset on what happen to her that she couldn't save her

Is actually proud of Cole and does see him as her son since he was close to her as well as Fareeha.

Will never forget the day when Cole called her mom once while she was teaching him how to shoot, it actually made her very emotionally (has never let him forget it but only when there alone)

Is under a ton of stress since she worries for both Jack and Gabe, since she wants too help them but knows that there going to refuse her help since both men are very stubborn.

She does have feeling's for Rein but is worried that it might not last for them since both of them are old but mainly she worries for Rein's well being since one wrong move might be fatal for him.

She really does see herself in Kiriko mainly when she was younger and in her prime but still Kiriko is a bit reckless but is learning along the way like she did.

Really really want's to go to Fiji and enjoy her retirement but knows that she can't but only in her dreams can she relax on the beach.

When Junkrat asked her to be his mother figure it's not that she didn't want too adopt him but it's mainly the fact he'll ask to many question. Which will cause her a headache or worse she might put him to sleep if need be, cause she already has too many kids to watch after (mainly Cole and her daughter)

She's really proud of Fareeha but is very worried about her safety even though she knows Fareeha knows what she's doing.

Hopes that one day Fareeha would forgive her but knows that it'll take time when she's ready to forgive her.

Is grateful that since Genji move's around it really does keep her sharp in battle since clearly Genji is the best target for her(Though she won't tell him that since he might run away from her)

Has secretly adopted Hanzo because she knows how that he needs someone to talk too.(She also adopted Genji too)

As much as she adores Cole he sometimes get's a bit on her nerves but know he does it in the goodness of his heart and she knows that but she's too old to have competition with him on who's the better shot.(She know's she'll beat him so she's sparing him the embarrassment)

Worries about Jack but will always have his back till the end even if it maybe stupid she care's about him cause someone needs to get him out of trouble.

Is very tired and exhausted mentally and emotionally but puts up a front.

She enjoys having tea with either Hanzo or Sym but sometimes having the both of them over for tea is really relaxing for her.

Wants to help Gabe but knows that deep down he'll refuse it and it honestly hurts her since she cares about him after finding out he was alive all those years.

Basically is a babysitter to the newer recruits and always tell them to make time for themselves too relax but sometimes it tends to go over there heads.(Which reminds her of herself when she was in her prime)

Like she says hates being feared since it really hurts her since all she wanted was respect from others than fear, since it has taken a toll on her since she'll forever be known as the world deadliest sniper and nothing more just a killer.

Angela Ziegler

Is sleep deprived 24/7 and runs on energy drinks and strong coffee

Wants to help Widowmaker since she notice that a bit of her emotions are coming through but knows she can't get too close she just needs to find the right timing.

She really enjoys Genji and Fareeha company since she does tend to over work herself and they always help her out by taking her to bed.

Swiss Chocolate is her favourite but she also like milk/dark chocolate too .

Would always throw away Cassidy cigar packs but would tend to find more, which annoys her because she doesn't want him to smoke anymore.

Enjoys Zenyatta company since she wants to know how his healing works but also the fact he help Genji out more than she ever could and wishes she could have done more to help him.

Is very pissed off at Moria for her unethical medical style for "Healing " Reyes and Widowmaker by making them suffer in pain

Wishes that Gabriel would have went to her if he was suffering/ help him out with the pain he's dealing with so she can end the pain.

She has doubts that she isn't the best doctor moreover she regrets not seeing the signs that were in front of her before the fall of Overwatch.

People assumed that she resents Hanzo for killing Genji but she doesn't she actually feels bad for him since she heard him cry a few times during the night from night terrors(She talks to him during times where he wake's up from his night terrors and sits with Hanzo comforting him to the best of her abilites)

Knows she overworks herself but she can't help it since she feels like she failed so she pushes herself to work even harder were she sometimes forget to eat and sleep.

She's grateful that Genji and Fareeha will always look out her even Cassidy too though she wishes he would still stop smoking.

Moira O'Deorain

Is sleep deprived and runs on coffee as well as spite so she ends up looking very not healthy or in the best shape.

Has chronic pain in her arm but deals with it since it's only a minor setback with her experiments.

Finds joy in others misery since it makes her happy.

Loves to bring up the fact that Genji is not saint since he agreed with her that Reyes did the right thing by killing Antonio.

She and Angela tends to but heads a lot but has respect for Angela even though in the end Reyes went to her and not Angie.

She won't admit it but she does miss Cole company but still finds him annoying as ever.(Though she won't admit it too him)

Finds Lifeweaver enduring and clearly she wants to learn more about his bio-lights than ever(Much to her delight he doesn't tends to run off but also dismay that he wants her too stop experimenting on herself)

Has own a few pet bugs mainly hissing roaches since there amazing and very calm animals but owned a few pet mice and rats in her youth.(Bonds with Lifeweaver about her hissing roaches)

Thinks science is more better than medicine and will die on this hill with that statement no matter the cost.

Is tried of hearing Gabriel complain about being in consent pain so she just gave him pain killers to shut him up about it but knows it only work just a bit but it'll at least keep him quiet, Since she is actually working on a way to end his pain she just needs more time.

The tests she runs on Sigma are more brain waves activity wise.(Sombra is keeping an eye on her and she knows it)

Doesn't care if people find her experiments unethical they always get the job done for her no matter how dire the consequences are, even if it means she dies in the end.

Honestly wishes that she would have given Genji a proper body than the bare minimum that Angela did.

Has a bug collection plus has a book about different types of bugs as well.(Mainly the ones that have venom )

Zenyatta Tekhartha

Zenyatta even though he speaks in a calm voice deep down there's a huge amount of regret for things he wish or said.

He's grateful that he met Genji and he wouldn't have it any other way, he also finds the Genji is his favourite student(even though he does feel disappointed in him sometimes)

Zenyatta just enjoys pranking the others about what he did before he awoken after the crisis since too doesn't have a clue what he did so he made a few lies.

He care's deeply for Ramattra and knows that he cares for him too but he wishes he would stop on this destructive path he's on.

He finds it funny that Ramattra and Genji bicker with each other but keeps an eye on them in case if they do anything stupid to one another(Had to separated them since it getting a bit tense)

By all means he isn't a pacifist, but he does fight when its necessary(Though he has bruised Jack ego while sparring with him which was funny)

He enjoys spending time with Genji since Genji also saved him but won't admit it too him.

Zen is willing enough to help Genji brother Hanzo out since he has his door open for the elder Shimada but just like Genji when he first met him refused his offer but he knows within time Hanzo will come to him when he's ready so he's not forcing him.

He has no idea why he floats he just finds it cool.

Has actually broken down in anger and mourn for Mondatta after he heard the news his brother was killed. That will be the only time he felt true anger.

He thanks Angela for saving Genji but also encourages her that she did a good job on saving his brightest student.

Always is willing to listen too someone issues since he doesn't mind that they also vent to him.

He has wished he knew what he did before the crisis but to him it'll forever be a mystery that not even he could solve, he hopes that the Iris will tell him.

Deep down he knows Cole is suffering in silence but doesn't want to push him to talk, he knows that Cole can come too him when he needs too or when Cole requests it too him. (He knows that if he approaches Cole, he'll lie to him stating that he's fine)

He enjoys gardening with Symmetra and likes her company along with her friend Niran, their such nice people.

Kiriko Kamori

Enjoys annoying others mainly to get a rise out of them since she enjoys it.

Does see that Genji and Hanzo as older brothers and cares deep for them.

Is actually mad at Hanzo for leaving since she thought he died along with Genji when the Hashimoto took over Kanezaka and Hanamura after he left but doesn't know the whole story that it got dismantled by Overwatch

She doesn't know what happened to Genji as Hanzo won't even tell her(She thinks it was the Hashimoto clan whom brutally attacked Genji)

Loves every single type of donuts, she mainly eats them all the time even though it bad for her

She writes to her mom keeping her updated and making sure she is safe, even though she knows her mom can handle herself she doesn't want her getting hurt.

Her mom gave her a fox plushie when she was little and she still has it too this day even though Pharah makes fun it, it keeps her company knowing that her mom is keeping her company even though she's far from home

Writes too her friends as well making sure that they keep tabs on the Hashimoto but also writes down on other things they need too do which still hasn't happened yet which is arson

Doesn't understand why Hanzo won't pick up the sword and she'll never know since Genji is also keeping her in the dark about it as she asked him why.

She named the Kitsune Yanagi (Willow)

Has encourage Hanzo and Genji too name their dragons but doesn't know that they already did when they got them

Is besties with Brigitte,D.va, and Tracer. She really enjoys their company

Knows she needs to take things slow but too her slow is boring and doesn't get anything done

She learnt JSL when she met Akari which she practiced too the point she knows how to start off a conversation. She also started learning ASL as well, but also convinced Genji and Hanzo too do JSL

Wants too be friends with Illari but always gets avoid by her too the point where Hanzo tells her too stop to which she does(She's jealous of Hanzo because he and Illari talk to one another)

She's also jealous of Brigitte since she also became friends with Illari and asks how did she do it too which Brigitte tells her she has no idea

Has ask Lifeweaver for his skin care routine since she get's acne and acne scars too, she was disappointed when he told her to stop eating donuts

Find's Widowmaker such a buzz kill though has always wondered why her skin was blue

She thinks Hanzo has a crush on Cole, she's there number 1 shipper too the point were she actually tries to set them up on date's

Has stayed up all night with D.va just too play video games with her mainly horror games.

She finds Cole interesting but doesn't want to get on his bad side since he has gotten mad at D.va before in front of her.

Worries about her father every day and prays that he'll be alive the next day

Care's deeply for both Hanzo and Genji but tries her hardest not to bother them too much even though she has so many questions on what happened to them and where they went

Brigitte Lindholm

Brigitte is socially awkward when it come's meeting new people, but she's slowly getting better at it

Love's her mother apple pie and knows how too make it

Lúcio Correia dos Santos

He was very surprised when he found out that Lifeweaver was part of Vishkar but is on the run from as they wanted to use his biolight that he made, it made him sympathies with him on that level since that is what happen to his dad(though he stole it back from them)

Lucio really doesn't like Symmetra since she doesn't understand that Vishkar isn't as what they seemed, he doesn't trust her fully but he slowly allowing her in since it appears that it maybe dawning on her on what they're actually doing but as of now he doesn't trust her yet.

Always writes to his dad and tells him that he's safe, but also keeps him updated on what he's doing

Will forever be grateful when Brigitte saved him since always tell her that was a good catch

Huge fanboy when he saw Tracer and Genji, got very nervous upon speaking to them since he didn't even know how too act around them at first.

It made him happy that Genji allowed him to hook up his lights with his music even though it made him mad it truly made his day since Genji finally agreed to it once and only once

Is still pretty upset with the soccer match that he watched with Illari and too this day he still blames the ref for not seeing that foul for the first half

He enjoys asking everyone's favourite but when he tells his favourite animal is the Axolotl, people usually seem surprise since he seems more like a person who enjoys frogs. Though frogs are his second favourite animal also he just finds axolotl's cute.

Jean-Baptiste Augustin

Baptiste has a few regrets on what he's done too Mauga but he had to leave since Mauga always brought out the worse in him

He won't denied the fact that he still has a crush on Cole since how could he not, but he let Lifeweaver know about this but was shocked when his new bf agreed with him that Cole is good looking.

Was surprised when Lifeweaver asked him out on a date and is excited to have another date with him too, apparently they're going to have another soon

The only people he's truly scared of from Talon are Sombra and Widowmaker

He worries about Lifeweaver and Mauga meeting for the first time since he has no idea how Mauga would actually react upon meeting Lifeweaver. and he knows that Mauga won't kill him which is what scares him the most.

He's honestly surprised that no one has figured out that he used to work for Talon and he has Cole to thank for that.

Is scared of Symmetra since she found out he was dating Lifeweaver thinking he was going to die by her after she threaten him in a not so friendly way.

what's the right word?

my first kpop group was snsd when they first released gee back in 2009/2010 and i was 9/10.

i've been stuck in this hole of 'kpop' since. i turn 24 in april. thats more than half my life.

growing up in a conservative asian family and the elder daughter of two teachers, it's not easy to explain the grievances and troubles i feel like i've experienced. some might not even consider it a terrible thing. yes, i've had a good standard of education and had parents who took care of me but sometimes the challenge was truly connecting with people and finding an emotional support.

nobody else can replicate and/or understand the true depth of the love, admiration, inspiration and reliance a fan has on her favourite idols/groups. throughout the years, i've gone through the eras. going from the snsd/shinee/suju era, and then into the bts/exo/vixx/bap era, and then blackpink/red velvet/wanna one/nct and then i feel like my life had a significant trajectory in the 2019-2020 period because i started dancing.

after having spent a decade being so invested in the idol culture of perfecting every single performance, pushing past boundaries and the idea of 'not being enough' being the exact source of motivation, perhaps picking up cover-dancing wasn't the best idea. especially when i come in a package with a bunch of baggage, anxiety, stress, and other perfectionist ideals.

throughout the years before 2019/2020, my reliance on my kpop idols was emotional. i wrote letters to them like they were my best friends, wished them the best of health and that they were always enough, while wishing i was as good as they were (ironic?). to my past loves: sooyoung, donghae, minho, jonghyun, jungkook, baekhyun, kang daniel, irene, jaehyun and the other members who have helped me through alot - i owe my life to them. quite literally.

tbz and enhypen have a special place in my heart. because not only did they become the usual emotional support pillars i had all the while, they became my mentors. an actual source to learn and be better. enhypen even more, because i've covered at least 5-6 of their items.

this growth in myself and the growth i see in them was so quiet but so sudden last night as i filmed their performances. 'oh my god, i danced to this song back in 2022 and now i get to see it live?'

as a fan, i feel more emotional because not only am i a fan who enjoys their music, i feel like i had connected to them on the 'stage performer' level and though i'm still lacking in many, many ways, i owe my progress and improvement to enhypen. they push me both mentally and physically during practises and their want to surpass themselves always reminds me that love knows no boundaries. the love for the stage and the love to be the best version of yourself.

i'm quite sure there's some psychological term for it, when you rely on someone who doesn't know you exist, and that you gain energy just from this person's existence.

the story is much, much longer but i could write a whole fic about it if i wanted to.

to my strength, my (probably last) love, heeseung.

i could write a billion words about you, and it would still not be enough to share how much of my life, my success, my motivation, my strength i owe to you. the love between a fan and an idol can only go so far, but i promise it will be forever.

i have a knack for choosing the members who seem to be the 'ace' of the group, but you are so unapologetically open about being a perfectionist. that's just my opinion. you know you want to be at your best, and you strive so hard to get there, sometimes i almost feel sad that you think you're not yet perfect. but then again, that's the very thing that makes me look up to you.

saw you for the first time and probably the last time last night. thank you for reigniting this want to surpass myself in every way possible. thank you for reminding me that lacking is the only way up.

You know who I wish got more lore? Efi and Orisa. Will she be contacted by Overwatch for her very clear talent and intelligence? Would she be ALLOWED to join? Would she or the other agents care about her age? Has she met any of the other OW characters in canon? Do they forget she's only like 13, or are they PAINFULLY aware and make sure not to say any adult things around her? Orisa seems comfortable and accepting of her role as the "defender of numbani," but I hope she gets a character arch where she discovers she has free will and learns to make her own decisions. What's the dynamic like between Efi and Orisa?

I do think that Efi will be contacted by Overwatch at some point and as I have stated in previous posts I think she's going to be a parallel to Mina Liao. Meaning she would be a part of Overwatch but in more of a tech support role, out of the conflict. In "The Hero of Numbani" Efi honestly isn't that concerned with her age and is often put off by people treating her like a kid so I don't think her age would bother her.

As for if she has met other Overwatch members, she's met Lucio and helped him and Orisa chase Doomfist out of Numbani. After those events they also met up with Sojourn who had a talk with them on what it meant to be a hero, which gave Efi the inspiration for the upgrades we see on Orisa in OW2. So I think it's highly likely that Lucio and Sojourn will get both Orisa and Efi to join OW, that or they're just going to show up and say they're joining.

As for her age in relation to other characters, I think some characters, specifically Jack, Baptiste, Ana, Cassidy and Angela would be hyper aware of her age, but not in the "this is a child so no swear words" more in the "I'm sorry you have to be a part of this and if it wasn't necessary you wouldn't be here at all". Jack and Ana as characters are already highly protective of the younger members of Overwatch, not to mention that Ana is a mother. As for Bap, Cass and Ange, all three of them where also kids during the Crisis, Cassidy being implied to have been on the streets during it, so I think they'd be making sure Efi is OK.

For Efi and Orisa's relationship, in the book Efi mentions feeling like a proud parent a lot but I think their dynamic is more sisterly then parental. The parental aspect only really being there because the relationship is still creator-creation.

I honestly can't wait to see more of Efi, I think her being in the story is such a good opportunity for character arcs and giving more light to different stories. It's the same with Illari and D.Va being relatively young when they started fighting.

Indigo’s kids are stinkin’ adorable!

Could we have more facts about them?

Ahhhhhh i wanted to draw this but my motives TANKED so here are some itty bitty facts about all the kiddos!

Coral- Togepi Fusion (He/him)

-Middle Child! He was the 2nd one out of the shell and the second one to open his eyes!

-Biggest of the trio! Slightly larger than average in comparison but huge against his siblings.

- Anxiety, He's picked up on his father's danger sense, but because he's a Togepi fusion it doesnt work properly. As a Togekiss he gets a better handle on it.

- Constantly afraid he's doing something wrong, even if he ISNT doing anything wrong.

- Perfectionist, if one thing is out of place and he cant fix it, he will flop onto the floor and cry.

-An absolute Daddy's boy. All three of his dad's are very aware that he needs a lot of attention and love, and if something goes wrong, Coral is the snitch (anxiety helps them, not so much Coral)

-Indigo's nickname for him is Coco because "You're so sweet baby." and Coco wears it like a medal.

Rose, Happiny Fusion (He/They)

-The Baby of the trio! Can't get away with anything even if he is the youngest.

- Has constant nightmares, it's his premonition senses going off but warped beyond recognition. He never gets a handle on this, but his nightmares slow down.

-Can't sleep alone. Even as a fully grown Blissey. He wanrs to sleep wih Dad and no one is gonna stop him!

- Has no sense of taste. Constantly eating everything and anything he can get his hands on.

-Is the most romantically inclined of his siblings, but uses this force to try and match his siblings up with others as they grow.

-Is also the only one that can take hits like a tank. He's not good at dishing out pain but that's okay cause his siblings take that over.

-They also know the most healing moves of the entire family, surpassing even Indigo whose a paranoid nut.

-A little gremlin through and through, constantly causing trouble because no one would ever believe its him (too bad his older brother is a SNITCH)

-Has once trapped both his siblings in a box because he was mad.

-Rose's nickname is Rosebud because they will ALWAYS be Indigo's baby. Even when he's fully grown.

Punch, Buneary Fusion - (They/them)

-Punch is the oldest. First out and ifrst to open his eyes.

-Baby is the fluffiest of his family and needs to be sheared to avoid getting overheated. Indigo uses the wool to knit sweaters and toys for the kids. Punch is always so happy.

-They're also the one that takes pkaytime waaaaay too seriously.

-Indigo once handed them a buneary plush and Punch froze.

"What's the matter Pun?"

"Daddy, i cant be a parent, im only 2."

-Yeah, Punch is the one to constantly have Indigo keeling over laughing because their statements are so OUTRAGEOUS its too funny to NOT laugh.

-It is also the reason their nickname is Pun, little bap is too naturally funny.

-They are also the one to fight the Eevee pups CONSTANTLY.

-The Eevee's all know bite, and that hurts for Punch constantly.

-Doesnt stop them from trying to win.

-They have also fought the Pichu and Pikachu pinkies and often goes so far to try and beat up fully grown pokemon.

-When they loose, they wail to dad because "THEY BIT ME!"

"Yeah Pun, that's what happens when you pick a fight."

-Despite their name, Punch's kicks are POWERFUL

-They can knock out an unsuspecting person if Punch is mad enough.

-When they grow though, their punches WILL match the prowress of their legs.

-Very much a Glass Canon, cannot take a hit for the life of them but MAN does it hurt when they hit.

[ghidorahsrealm]

So... hasn’t taken me a while, before I wanted to redesign Daevas. I thought she looked rather bland and not much like the hybrid of a Queen and Devil, so instead of two heads, I’ll be giving her five total and revamping her head design so that she has two sets of split jaws on each head (which is going to be an absolute pain to draw each head).

Additionally, I’m going to give them the cobra hoods I gave to my new Ghidorah design, plus give them a sort of hierarchy of horns - the two outer most heads will have smaller, more ‘stump’ like horns, and progressing to the middle head is where they are the biggest and sharpest. 

As for their limbs, I decided to revamp the inner chest limbs so that they’re bigger and more so used for stabilizing Dae, as she has a lot of front weight going on. Might make them bigger so that they’re like the outer set of limbs for better support. Her wings are being changed too to be more ragged - it bothered the hell out of me how I made the wings too streamlined, as I want to lean more heavily towards Ghidorah’s heritage than Mothra’s with this daughter. That’s pretty much it for Dae, as for the moth next to her, that’s actually a new character I’m slowly working on.

Titanus Askifro is the son of Mothra and Battra.

Askifro, I imagine, has a very posh way of speaking, almost like a Victorian style. He doesn’t enjoy short-conversations, so he’s typically advise to have something you can talk extensively about, preferably something he also enjoys - which, admittedly, isn’t a lot. He has a relatively stable relationship with both Mothra and Battra, but tends to prefer his father rather than mother. 

he’s actually the older half-brother to Dae, as Mothra first landed with Battra before reaching out to Nii (there’s a whole poly relationship going on that I’ll maybe explain later). Dae never got to meet her older half-sibling, but honestly? Askifro and Dae would surprisingly get along - she understands and respects Aski’s knowledge of things, and is actually a little upset at not meeting him sooner. Something about his presence soothes her immensely, and she feels genuinely safe around him. 

Aski doesn’t mind having Dae around, but finds it daunting to be the older sibling. He doesn’t have any trauma really, so it’s hard for him to exactly feel that connection with his younger sister - very much a advice rather than comfort guy too, but tbh his advice is just “kill your enemies and wear their skeletons as trophies” which Dae just responds with “please no”

very knowledgeable on kaiju biology, and is a pristine collector of their bodies if a kaiju is too pass. very careful, very precise. if its a fresh death, he’d likely eat the corpse then drag the remains elsewhere, or if it’s just the bones or a rotting corpse, he’d clean the flesh off of the bones and carve whatever he wants out of them

fucking hates Goji tbh, but keeps it veeeeeeeeeery close to himself. he’s not a big confronter, preferring to keep all of his secrets and opinions to himself rather than tell anyone, including his parents. WHICH REMINDS ME, SHIN AND ASKI

god, he didn’t expect her to be so blunt and outright rude towards him. he didn’t really find her intimidating though, just... kinda annoying. the most he’d do is just bap her on the head (Dae doesn’t do anything about it bc shes admittedly a little spooked of Aski despite the fucking power and height difference) and try to teach her proper manners, which Shin doesn’t actually need, she’s just being a dick

she does warm up to him after a while though, and so Aski watches over his little siblings with a lot of care, actually. HOWEVER, he definitely doesn’t want to get involved in Dae’s rivalry with Apoc. that’s a disaster in itself and while yes he cares for Dae, it’s her fight, he literally has no connection to them so he doesn’t care, plus he can probably get bodied if he got caught in the crossfire 

random thought time, after getting to know each other, Shin grows comfortable enough to gossip to Aski about stuff with the other kaiju, and he listens, hiding the smile as he hears all the tales. OH and if they were in their human form, they’d definitely braid each other’s hair and go out to get their nails done, Aski doesn’t give a fuck 

one last thing, with Aski and Dae, they have a something similar to what Goji and Mothra had - Aski sacrificing himself to give Dae power, then Dae goes absolutely ham. that is all

Imaginary Shadow Dad)Ch.8: Bargaining

—☆—

  Notes: Where to begin… Well, this is going to be the chapter that solidifies Mk’s pre-Monkey King support system with the introduction of Mei. Also, a small lore drop about Wukong at the start, via the means of story time with Mr.Tang!

—☆—

Nightmares Together

  Mr.Tang was telling Mk another story again, but the Little Monkey was getting a little too into it. “UGH! I can’t believe Tripitaka did something like that! How can anyone be okay with being that mean to Monkey King?! He’s so cute and cheeky!” Xiao Houzi yelled, flailing around on his bed as he expressed his anger.

  Tang was used to his reaction to these parts of the story by now, so he just rolled his eyes before beginning to explain. “Well, I don’t think you understand the entirety of his character. Monkey K-” 

  Mk bapped his Ba Ba on the nose to shut him up before starting to talk again. “Monkey King is amazing! He protects his people, beats up the bad guys, and he’s a loving and devoted husband!” He ranted in response, though the scholar was still annoyed at the bap.

  It would be fine. He’d turn this into a teaching moment. “Well, I suppose that’s my fault. I didn’t tell you the darker parts during our first read through. Here I’ll-” Anddd, cut off again.

  “Whatever it is, it’s not changing my mind! Tripitaka was overusing the damned circlet. You can’t deny that!” Mk exclaimed, pointing accusatorialy at his parent.

  “I’m not denying that. The book itself agrees with you so-” Mk bapped him again, opening his mouth to speak when Tang gripped his hand, forcefully pinned it to the bed, and gave Mk a pointed glare. “You sit. I teach. You have lost book discussion privileges,” the adult stated firmly as he held his son in place with a finger and a look.

  With a dumbfounded look, Mk nodded, a little scared by this outburst. He had never pissed his Ba Ba off that much before. 

  And it didn’t last because Tang sat back up with a smile a moment later, turning back to his book. “Good. Now…”

  Mr.Tang explained a lot of things. He told Mk everything he skipped over when he was younger. He said he didn’t want to harm his developing mind by telling him that stuff. What was that stuff? Well.. Monkey King wasn’t… the best. At least, before the journey. 

  He had a rather black and white view of right and wrong. Hurt good people, you’re bad and hurt bad people, you’re good. He made his people train when they were far too young. He was… cruel and dangerous… until he met Liu’er - or, well, - until he started trusting Liu’er. When they got together, he was still pretty bad, but Liu’er’s advice made him a much better ruler. 

  The worst part though, is that he hurt Liu’er a lot. Not always physically, and never on purpose, but the frequency with which he would disappear for years (sometimes hundreds of years) without a word often left Liu'er wondering if his mate was even alive, and the amount of times they mentioned Monkey King making Liu’er wince was staggering. Then… that scene..

  “Go home, Liu’er.” the Great Sage commanded, blood drying around the circlet. 

  "Y-you cannot be serious, my king. You're bleeding, you were screaming a few minutes ago!" the Six-Eared shadow wielder said in disbelief as he held Wujing in place. 

  "I don't want to hurt you." Wukong said through gritted teeth, a hand raising to pull his staff from his ear. 

  "No.." Liu’er muttered as he let go of the spirit, turning to glare at the wounded monk. "You! What have you done?! You have broken Wukong's mi-" A loud thud sounded as the Ruyi Jingu Bang stabbed in front of the dark monkey.

  "Go. Home." the King demanded, glaring at his lover. 

  “Not without you,” Liu’er growled, glaring back as he created his own weapon from the shadows around them. Their fight began. As a loud crash echoed through the valley, the walls of the nearby buildings shook from the force of the collision. They bounced away from one another, and the King launched his staff forth, stretching through incredible distances. Liu’er had to think quick, dodging into the shadows to avoid the staff an instant before it crashed into the mountain behind him, leaving a sizable crater in its wake.

  Bajie used their fight as an opportunity to go check on their master, who was stubbornly trying to stand, despite his wounded state. “What.. What is he doing?” Sanzang managed to push out, though he stumbled again and had to catch his breath.

  “You don’t gotta worry about them master. Wukong’s got it,” Bajie reassured as he shifted the monk’s robes to examine the damage.

  “But I-.. I need to- Ugh!” the human tried, but his voice failed him as his disciple started prodding around the damage on his chest.

  The pig winced as he felt the breaks in the monk’s ribs, the tissue already bruising over top. “This is gonna hurt.” he lamented, before beginning to bandage the monk’s wounds.

  Liu’er appeared behind the King with over a dozen clones draped in darkness. One by one, they struck against him, but in a few swift blows of Wukong’s staff, they were dispatched of, leaving a clear view of the absolutely livid Sage in their wake. 

  Liu’er struck from above, but his heart wasn't in it and the move was easily countered.

“What are you doing? I'm trying to save you!” the King's lover cried out, as he was kicked back by his partner.

  “What am I doing?!? You showed up and began to attack my master!” Wukong yelled, launching his staff toward the shadowed warrior “GO. HOME. I don't want you hurting my brothers, and I do not want it to be my hand that leaves you dead!”

  “I'm not going to let your… ‘Master’ harm you! You're bleeding! I haven't seen you bleed since we were cubs!!!” cried the shadow wielder, as he dashed to attack his lover. His attack was dodged, and just as quickly, the Monkey King struck out of blind anger, crushing the ring on Liu’er’s tail hard enough to pin it in place.

  The Six-Eared Macaque cried out in pain, and the King winced, though in his mind he was chanting, “He’s immortal too. He’ll be fine.” He went to strike again, but his partner dodged away. 

  Not realizing that the staff had been extended, he was not prepared for the sudden impact of it hitting his chest and slamming him into the wall. “I…" Macaque gasped, the air having been knocked out of him. Taking as deep a breath as his bruised ribs would allow, he shouted, "I can't let him hurt you anymore!!! He has poisoned your mind with promises of grandeur and now you have forgotten your own dream!” the warrior of darkness yelled, clutching his stomach.

   "That dream was lost long ago!'' Wukong snarled in blind fury, dashing down to launch a vicious attack, piercing Liu'er through the eye. 

  As blood splattered over the Ruyi Jingu Bang, splashing his hands, Wukong returned to his senses - a moment too late - and his lover was knocked out of his sight. He darted toward the point where he had last seen Macaque, but the apologies on his tongue went unused as he failed to find the other man’s body. 

  “W-.. Wukong. What have you done?” Tripitaka forced out as he stood with worried eyes, having to lean on his gold-banded cudgel to stay up.

  The King turned his head, dread in his eye, as he uttered in disbelief, “I think I just killed my husband..” He barely got the words out, before covering his mouth and falling to his knees in horror.

  Bajie and Wujing were allowed to hug and attempt to comfort the Sage. However, when their Master stepped forward to do the same, Wukong growled, head snapping around to pin Tang Sanzang with a tearful glare. “So?! Aren’t you gonna punish me?! I killed him! What should it matter if I already regret it?!” he gritted out, though he was shaking. The ruler had never looked so fragile. It shocked the monk.

  Behind him, Ao Lie shifted into human form and sprinted forward, stopping to convince Sanzang to sit down. “Maybe you should rest, master? I don’t think Wukong-GeGe wants to see you right now,.” the dragon said, lightly pressing on the human’s shoulder. Once Sanzang had sat down, the White-Horse-Dragon ran forward to comfort his big brother as well, not realizing how confused and distraught the monk had become.

  “.. Some say that Monkey King still has nightmares about his lover, and the shadows he disappeared into.” Tang finished the story, looking back at his son.

  “That.. That can’t be true. The-.. The Monkey King..” the boy stammered, though he couldn’t finish his statement. 

  “Hmm.. Maybe you should’ve paid more attention to the story.” the scholar concluded, before walking off, stopping at the door to mutter, “Goodnight, Xiao Houzi.”

  And as he drifted off, he slipped into a nightmare… one not entirely his own…

—

  Wukong ran across the beach, escaping the mutilated shadow as blood dripped from the open wound on his head. He ran and ran, unable to calm his mind as he ran- then he bumped into Ao Lie. 

  The dragon turned to look at his brother, the foggy look in his eyes hiding the older from view. "Gege? Gege, is that you?" the bleary-eyed white horse dragon kept looking blindly. He tripped and was caught by the ruler. "Wukong? Wukong! You're here! I knew you'd come!"

  The scales on Ao Lie’s arm began foaming. No.. His eyes were a misty white instead of their normal green. Not again. The foam began to slip from his body. I can’t watch him die again! "Don’t go.. No. Don't leave me, little brother." Wukong whimpered, closing his eyes and holding Ao Lie close.

  "Didn't act like that when I died." the gruff voice of Zhu Bajie stated, causing Lie to back off. He swung his rake and hit it against the Monkey King's chest. 

  "I-I didn't even know you were hurt!" he claimed, hand passing through the rake as he tried to hit it away.

  "You knew I was." Wujing's voice said as he swung his crescent moon spade back to pull the ocean up into a wave. "You knew I was dying and you didn't even come to see it happen." 

  "I couldn't handle it! I-I visit your grave! I promise, I care!" Wukong shouted, before feeling a cold chill run down his back.

  "Oh, really?" His lover's voice was barely there as his corpse approached, right eye left an empty pit of blood after their battle. "Then what do you have to say about me?" His voice shook the terrain as he grew irritated. 

  Bajie lifted his rake and hit it against the sage’s side, knocking him toward the stoney-looking Sha Wujing, who lowered his spade to bring the wave crashing down onto his brother, pulling the stone monkey into the deep water. Lie ran forward to help, though fully turned to sea foam as he touched the water. 

  Sha Wujing split the ocean to make room for Liu’er to approach the weeping Monkey King. "You killed me. That proves how awful you are." the six eared monkey claimed with a snarl on his face, getting close to the king and digging his claws into the wound on his head. 

  "Quiet." His master's voice pierced through the brothers' heads, and stung the shadow’s ears. He limped more than he ever really had, his opened chest revealing his broken bones and beating heart. He approached his disciple, walking right past the apparitions of the older's guilt. "Wukong. You know this isn't real." the monk said calmly. 

  "Then.. Why can't I wake up?" Wukong asked, desperate for his master's wisdom, despite it not really being him.

  "There's someone else here." the human claimed, pointing a finger at the horizon where a ripple went through the sky as someone hit against the memory membrane.

  "How do I get to them?" the king asked with worried eyes. 

  "You have claws, Wukong. Tear an opening.” the monk reminded and struck his staff against the ground, causing a path to open up for Wukong to follow. The monkey nodded, immediately falling in line with his master’s command. 

  He ran to the wall of strange goo that made up the false sky of the nightmare and struck, tearing into it and creating an opening that let him see the neighboring nightmare. A familiar shadow was tormenting this one too, but his eyes were first drawn to the victim of the horrors. A young boy - like- at most fourteen, dressed in a kung fu uniform and with his eyes glowing a pale purple. Were his eyes deceiving him or was that Macaque’s headband? No time to think, because the cub was crying and the shadow monster was sending a blow his way.

  Without another thought, the king leapt into action, running to defend the boy and- “Shadow Dad, stop!”

  Monkey King blocked the hit just in time, but was dumbfounded by the cub’s- he-.. He said cub, didn’t he? -the kid’s words. He looked the boy in the eye and asked frantically, “What did you call him!?” The youngling stared at the king, starstruck. “WHAT DID YOU CALL HIM!?” he repeated himself, more urgently.

  “Uh- Sh-Shadow Dad.” Mk repeated, still starstruck. Wow. It didn’t matter that he found out the king wasn’t some unflappable paragon, he was still his idol and he was still awesome. Monkey King looked baffled for a moment, then his eyes glowed for some reason and he gained a look of realization.

  He plucked a hair and blew on it, turning it into a knife. “Here! Take this and cut your way into a different memory! This one’s too corrupted to see in.” he instructed, and the youngling listened without question. Meanwhile, the king knocked the fist away and began holding the shadow at bay. 

  The Little Monkey cut through the sticky black mass on the floor and pulled at the sides until it opened wide enough for someone to slip through. “Monkey King! I found- Eugh!” he started before getting knocked into the opening.

  “Very good! I’m so proud- Yada Yada- We gotta go!” Wukong ran through the talking points quickly, before looking around at the memory they’d entered. They were on a rooftop from the looks of it, and the cub was looking over the edge. It seemed like this wasn’t a good memory. “Kid? You okay?” the ruler asked, approaching carefully.

  “This-.. This is just a dream. Isn’t it?” Mk asked, crouching down in a way all too familiar to the king. And yet, he copied all the same.

  “Well, that’s what I’ve guessed.. Why? You sound disappointed.” the Monkey King replied as sympathetically as he could. It was a little difficult. It was quite a shock that Mihou had a kid. 

  “No- No- I-It’s not that. It’s just..” The Little Monkey took a deep breath to ready himself to finish his reply. “I’ve always wanted to meet you in person, but I can’t believe my dreams would taunt me like this.” 

  “Huh.. Who said I’m not the real deal, huh?” The king was far from one to let a fan down, so he pulled the kid closer and gave him a firm noogie. “Ya sure I’m not real?” he said with a playful tone as the cub giggled and repeated, “stop!” in a very non-serious tone. The ruler let him go after a moment and gave him a fond look. “Y’know.. It’s nice to have someone else here. These nightmares.. Gods, they suck.”

  The Little monkey chuckled softly. “I hear ya’ there.” he commented, placing a hand behind his ears the same way his Shadow Dad always did. “Sometimes I wonder why they’re like this. If it’s a nightmare… Why does It feel so real?”

  “I’m not sure these are normal dreams, kid-” the ruler began, before something loudly crashed behind the duo. Turning around revealed the one image both knew. The shadow form of The Six-Eared Macaque. It started laughing and the king knew he had to think quick. “Kid. I need you to wake up for me.” Wukong began, taking a tight grip of Mk’s shoulders.

  “What?-” Mk tried to ask, but the king shook him frantically.

  “I’m serious, kid. If you wake up right now, I’ll find whatever is causing these extra real nightmares and destroy it.” the ruler bargained, still shaking the youngling. Mk placed his hands on the grown monkey’s shoulders to stop him so he could talk, but the shadow form behind the king was getting bigger and clearly about to attack, so all the Little Monkey could do was gasp. The king seemed to know what this meant and yanked the kid’s hands away from his shoulders, sending the youngling off balance and plummeting off the roof with a yell. “Wake UP!”

—

  “That was cruel, Macaque. Though I guess I could expect that by now.”

  “Hehe.. Fine. But I think the real question is…

  What did you think of my cub?”

—

  Mk bolted up in his bed, shaken to his core. He swung his legs to the floor, and moved to sit down at his desk, flipping open his sketchbook and beginning to draw an image of the nightmare to get it out of his head.   The best question he could think of, was the question,

  Was that really the Monkey KIng?

The Stick - Handmade

  Tang was glad that his son had already gotten over finding out that Monkey King wasn’t perfect. In fact, he’d told him his nightmares had gotten better afterwards! I mean- they were still there, but they were better! And the Little Monkey’s admiration for the king had seemingly increased after discovering his hero had struggles too. It seemed to light a new spark in the kid’s mind. 

  His idol wasn’t perfect. In fact, he was once just like him(Aside from being a magic monkey and not a normal-ish human kid)! The scholar was so happy to see his son finding a way to cope.

  Tang was deep in thought as he cut some fruits to bring up to the kid. Lucky him, for once, he didn’t cut his fingers. He carried the slices upstairs and opened Mk’s door, without knocking. “Xiao Houzi- What are you doing?” 

  The Little Monkey froze and looked at his Ba Ba, somewhat embarrassed. “It’s nothing. Just working on an art project.” he mumbled his explanation, a large stick laid across his lap, freed of its bark and half sanded.. 

  The adult glanced at the large stick- like seriously, it was six feet long, -and how his son was carving it.. Oh my gosh. “Um- Just curious.. What is this art project?” he asked, starting to walk over to sit on the bed beside his kid. 

  Mk was embarrassed, but worked up the courage to mumble, “I’m making a replica of Monkey King’s staff.” 

  His Ba Ba gave him a grin in response and put down the plate of cut fruit. “I’ll help.”

New Girl

  Mei finally convinced her parents to let her go to normal school, and it was going great! She already had a group of friends, had met so many colorful characters, and not gotten in trouble for wearing pants! Honestly, this was going so much better than the prep-school she’d been going to before. Not to mention, this school had a system where if you got straight A’s for a month, you got a little card-thing that you could use to get a day off, and you were even allowed to give them out to your friends! 

  Her prep school left her knowing stuff meant for two grades above her, so it was super easy for her to get tons of days off. She was walking around with her friends when she noticed some super edgy kid who wore a headband that seemed to have a spell on it to keep his hair up. He also had some black wispy stuff coming off his ears and butt that made it look like he had extra ears and a tail. He seemed super cool, and right away, Mei wanted to be friends with him.

  “Hm? Oh. I see you have your eye on Mk,” one of her friends commented, as she watched the kid- apparently called Mk -scare off a senior with a glare, when he was a freshman. 

  “Yeah! Why was that other kid so scared? He just glared at them,” she asked, excited to hear some tales of badassery. 

  “Oh? Well, that boy over there has gained a bit of a reputation. He can fight better than any other kid in the school, and he only does it to defend the demon kids!” the same friend from before explained.

  “He’s stopped actually hurting people as much though. Rumor has it, he got therapy and it knocked the fight out of him,” the other friend she was walking with remarked as Mk checked on the kid the senior was bullying. “A shame, really. It’s so hot when he does fight.” 

  Wait- “Oh- D-Did you think I thought he was hot?” Mei questioned in confusion. 

  “Heh, it’s a little obvious, Mei.” 

  “No! I just wanna be friends with him because he’s super cool!” the dragon girl exclaimed.

  “Oh, please. That kid’s never had any friends. It would take a lot to make him like you.”

  “I’m willing to work for it! I’ll come up with the perfect plan to get him to be my friend. I’ll use my free-day slips to get us out of class, take him for a ride on my dragon-cycle and give him the best day of his life! Then I’m sure he’ll be my friend.” She was ready to do anything to make that kid laugh. He seemed so nice, and yet he still looked so, so, sad.

Happy Birthday, Di Di

  Mk was walking through the park on his birthday. His dads were setting up a little celebration and had him go out to do pretty much whatever he wanted until they were ready. He then spotted the strange boy who kept dropping flowers whenever he left, and immediately ran forward. 

  The lotus decorated boy smiled at him and started dashing away, seeming to slide effortlessly across the ground while Mk climbed through the trees. The Little Monkey chased his “Big Brother” through the park, across the street and into an alleyway where the older kid ducked behind a corner and disappeared as usual. 

  Monkey Kid looked around for the boy for a moment, before a tin fell on his head. Luck was on his side, because it landed right in his hands a moment later. He looked at the box and saw a sticky note with a small message on it. “Happy birthday, Di Di. -Love, Big Brother”

  Mk chuckled at the sight and took off the note, now able to see the beautiful design on the tin. It seemed to be Nezha themed. Fitting for the flower boy.

  The Little Monkey opened the tin and saw a beautiful Lotus pastry inside, and speaking of the inside, it had what looked to be velvet lining it. Wow.. That had to be a super expensive gift. 

  The younger teen looked around for his Ge Ge to try and thank him, but still couldn’t spot the older boy. He chuckled at the fact. Of course. “I’ll never understand you, Ge Ge.”

  “Maybe.” Nezha said to himself. “I know I’ll talk to you in person someday, though. I can’t wait for that Little Brother.”

Dragon’s Day

  Mk finished his handmade replica of Monkey King’s staff and decided to bring it to school. He wanted to show it off, even though he didn’t have anyone to show it to. He just liked it, and thought it would make him feel stronger.. It was also nice to have a staff again, even if he’d stopped getting into fights as often. The feeling of the wooden bo staff in his hands was one he hadn’t realized he missed.

  He noticed No’e getting bullied by Brutus again. Well, he might as well.

  “HEY!” he exclaimed, shadows flickering to life around his form as he dashed forward and hit Brutus’ hands away from No’e. “Leave her alone, you bastard,” He shifted his grip on his staff anxiously, not wanting to hurt Brutus too much this time. He didn’t want a repeat of that day he got trapped on the roof. 

  Brutus… was he always that big?- Wait- obviously not. Why is he so big now? He gave a sickening smirk, scratching the disfigured bump Mk left with that strike. A reminder of his issues. Something he can’t fix by getting better. The Little Monkey shook, but remained in a readied stance. “Hehe.. The little coward finally shows his face again..” the extremely muscular teen taunted. “It’s about time you pay your dues for what you did to me,” he murmured, before looking down at the staff in Mk’s hands. “Tch. You decided to play pretend on today of all days?”

  Mk shifts to a more protective stance rather than the offensive one he instinctively took up. "Why don't you," Brutus stepped forward. Mk stepped back. "stop playing," Brutus raised his hand. Mk lifted his staff to block. "the hero?" The bully struck his hand against the stick, then lifted the other to hit against it as well, snapping the intricately crafted, handmade, wooden staff in two. 

  Mk's mind stops working properly, simply repeating 'Danger! Danger! Danger!' as he moves on instinct, shoving No'e away and punching Brutus in his face, before running away through the halls. He managed to run through the crowd, barely being noticed by the other students, until he wound up cornering himself against the wall, lockers to either side and Brutus rapidly approaching.

  He sat down and raised his arms to block, then saw a flash of pink, quickly overpowered by a stream of green. A girl who seemed to be a year older than him had run in and blocked Brutus' strike, growling- hissing- chittering? -some combination of the three, defensively. She had the ears, horns, tail, and scales of a dragon. Actually, looking closer, she was a dragon! “Leave him ALONE!” Wow. Using the royal voice to defend him. He must be special.

  Brutus ran away from the dragon girl immediately. At least he could recognize when something’s just too powerful to punch it in the face and hope it goes away. “What a jerk,” the dragon said, putting her glamors back up and looking down at Mk with a small smirk. “Heya! I’m Mei, but my full name is Long Xiaojiao,” she told him, causing him to move from looking starry eyed (I mean, it’s a dragon) to looking confused.

  “How the heck do you get Mei from Xiaojiao?” the Little Monkey questioned.

  “How do you get Mk from Xiaotia-” She tried to rebut, but stopped when she saw Mk suddenly look threatened. “Uh.. It’s pretty simple. One of my friends when I was younger looked at me and said, “You don’t look like a Xiaojiao.. Mei.” and it kinda just stuck,” Mei decided it was better to not pry into Mk’s reasoning for disliking his real name. I mean, since when was that her right?

  The Monkey Kid was startled by the respect and lowered his hackles as he realized she wasn’t trying to hurt him. “Ah.. Mk is short for Monkey Kid. My dads thought it was a good nickname since I acted like a little monkey.. Still do, honestly,” Mk explained, trying to give Mei the same courtesy she showed him. 

  The dragon reached down to help Mk up, as well as shaking his hand. “Well, it’s nice to meet ya’ Mk. Say, you wanna blow this pop-stand and get some cheese tea?” she asked rather casually.

  “Did you hit your head? The first class hasn’t even started,” Mk was confused, until she pulled like, eight free-day slips from her pocket.

  “Don’t worry. I got us covered,” She gave him a cat-like smile, clearly mischievous, yet he didn’t know why. Were they counterfeit or something?

  “Well, I don’t have money, so I couldn’t pay even if we did go-” he tried again, but she cut him off.

  “I’m a dragon, dude! My parents have a full on hoard! I can spare the extra moola,” Honestly, Mk hadn’t expected a dragon to be so approachable.

  “I mean.. What’s in it for you?” the Little Monkey asked wearily.

  “Ah, smart. Well, my deal is this. I will treat you to the best day of your life, and if I succeed… you have to be my friend,” Mei offered, sounding rather joking. “You can ask for whatever you want if I fail,”

  “100,” Mk tested her.

  “I’ll probably spend more than that today anyway. Deal!” The dragon snapped up the easy condition before the boy could reconsider. “As of this moment, I vow to you, Mk the Monkey Kid, that I in fact will give you the best day of your life,”

  “Heh. We’ll see,”

—

  Step 1- Drive dragon-cycle to cheese tea stand

  Step 2- Treat Mk to cheese tea

  Mei crosses off the first step on her list. Yeah.. She made a vague plan of how she’d handle this special day in hopes it’d increase her chances of making the edgy boy like her. She was waiting in line with Mk and noticed the boy scanning over the menu about fifty times. “Psst. Hey! Have you never been here before?” she whispered loudly to the anxious boy.

  He quickly turned his head towards her, anxiety becoming more and more prevalent. “Yes! I-Is there anything I should know? What flavors are actually good once you take the cheese foam into account? Will people look at me weird if I don’t know what to-”

  Mei placed one finger over his mouth and her other hand on his shoulder. “Shush. This isn’t some big fancy thing. Just pick whatever looks good and I’ll pay. I will teach you the ways of the cheese tea!” Her jokingly elegant tone made the Little Monkey’s anxiety dissolve in moments, leaving him all giggly!

  “Hahaha- Shut up!” Mk said jokingly, lightly nudging Mei as he laughed, to which she did the same.

  Before they could get too into the play-fight, the employee called them forward, as they were holding up the line. Mk ordered a mango cheese tea and Mei ordered a cranberry-dragon fruit combination with extra boba and extra cheese foam. 

  Step 2- Complete!

  Step 3- Walk to AGA (Anti-Gravity Arcade)

  Mei crossed off another step as Mk marveled in the flavor of the cheese tea. The duo walked normally for a small while, until the younger brought up his training. “I learned everything I know about fighting from my Shadow Dad,” Mk claimed, expecting the usual questions and denial of his original caretaker’s existence, and yet Mei responded with a simple,

  “That sounds awesome! Having a Sifu who you actually connect with enough to straight up call him dad without a single worry? That’s life goals, dude,” The dragon didn’t seem to know what he meant, but she didn’t deny his past, and that was heartwarming for the younger teen. “The only one I’ve been trained by is too stiff to really do anything with. He doesn’t even seem to enjoy teaching. He’s just gunnin’ for that paycheck,” the older said spitefully. She clearly didn’t enjoy her lessons. 

  “Sounds rough… but, now that I know you’ve been trained before..” Mk trailed off, taking Mei’s cheese tea and placing it down alongside his own on a bench. The dragon girl was confused, until Mk pounced at her and knocked her off balance.

  The duo play-wrestled in a way that was familiar for the younger teen. In fact, if he wasn’t too busy playing around, he may have started crying from the nostalgia of it all. Eventually, they had to stop their little play fight and get back on their way. 

  “So… Where are we going?” Mk decided to finally ask, and Mei seemed startled by the question.

  “I~ forgot to tell you, didn’t I?” The Little Monkey nodded. “Ah. Well, we’re going to the AGA!” Mei said with a flourish. Mk had no clue what she meant. “Wait- You’ve never been there either?!” she exclaimed incredulously, getting in her friend’s face.

  “No? Was I supposed to?” Mk’s more anxious and friendly personality was slowly coming out from behind the clouds again. The anger had passed, and he was returning to a better mental state. He was thankful for that. 

  Mei didn’t realize that though, ‘cause she was just ranting about how the AGA was the best arcade in the city, and all the games it had. She seemed to be slotting herself right into the hole his big brothers left when they had to go, and quite comfortably at that. “Dude, you okay?”

  Huh?- Oh. Oh, he was crying. Oh gosh.. “Uh- Yeah! I’m fine.. You just… really remind me of someone I knew a long time ago. Sheesh- How long ago was that?” Mk tried to do the math on how long it’d been since he last saw the Shadow Twins. 

  Meanwhile, Mei was just wondering who she reminded him of. Clouds were moving in as they reached the doorstep of the AGA. ‘Guess Great Great Great thousand times Great uncle is getting angry,’ she thought to herself as she took another sip of her cheese tea.

  Step 3- Complete!

  Step 4- Forget that time exists while playing at the AGA

  Mei crossed off the second to last point of her plan, before dragging Mk inside of the massive arcade that he was briefly starstruck by. While he looked out at the arcade, lights blaring, speakers booming, and people floating around, Mei purchased ten hours of gametime for herself and set up Mk with an account, which she then purchased ten hours for as well.

  “C’mon Mk! Let’s go!” the dragon girl exclaimed, dragging the unprepared monkey into the Anti-Gravity section of the arcade. The two played for hours- well, Mei bought hours of playtime, so that’s not a surprise- but the two played for hours with only a short break for lunch. They got so lost in their games that Mk forgot to tell his dads where he was until Pigsy called in a panic while they were playing Monkey Mech. 

  Mei took the chance to dunk on Mk while he was on the phone until she overheard him saying, “Yeah. No I- I-I’ll start heading home now! Trust me, you’re gonna wanna meet her. She’s a dragon! Oop- Sorry. Gotta go!”

  The dragon girl pouted at that. She still had a full hour of gametime left. “Aww~ Can’t we keep playing a little longer?” she pleaded to which he chuckled.

  “No, Jie Jie. I’ve worried my dads enough,” Mk barely noticed what he’d called her..

  But she definitely noticed it. “AWW! You called me Jie Jie! That’s so~ sweet! Just met you, and you’re already considering me family!”

  “That happens a lot more than you’d think,” Mk muttered.

  “Oh, fine. Just let me spend some of my tickets first,” Mei gave in shockingly easily, and landed back on the ground in front of the prize counter. She noticed Mk eyeing one of the toys they were handing out and decided to get it for him. “The massive Monkey King plush please!” she requested as she slammed her massive stack of tickets on the counter. “Oh! And the Dragon-Horse plush next to it!”

  The technician was stunned by the fact that she actually had enough tickets for that. After they handed over the plushies, she cast a spell to keep them dry in the rain long enough to get to Mk’s place, meanwhile Mk was staring out at the rain and having flashbacks to the day he was dropped on his dads’ door. It was raining then too. He was breathing in and out anxiously until Mei shoved the massive Monkey King plush into his hands. “No way,” he mumbled as the dragon girl stepped out the door.

  “What’re you waiting for Mk? I cast a spell to keep them dry till we get to your place!” she told him excitedly, before looking closer at the younger teen’s small frame. The plushie was the same size as him! Before she could think too much about how cute that was, she noticed the anxiety in his stance and the wisps of unstable magic that moved along his shivering form. “Do you… not like the rain?” He nodded. “Why?”

  “Uh- B-Bad memories..” Mk mumbled.

  Well, Mei couldn’t have that! She was a dragon for heck’s sake! Rain was kinda a big thing for them. “Okay then..” She walked over to him and crouched down with an exaggerated bow, dropping her glamors as she moved. “Then hop aboard, my dear little brother. They don’t call me the Dragon-Horse-Girl for nothin’!” she claimed and Mk processed the statement for a moment.

  “Wait- Are you a descendant of Ao Lie?!”

  ..”Did I forget to say that?-”

  “YES!!” The Little Monkey exclaimed, almost giddy. “Okay, okay! Uh- How do I… know I won’t fall off?” He sounded a bit more cautious now.

  “Hmm.. Ooh! I know!” She barely took half a second before whistling for her dragon-cycle. It arrived with a sidecar attached, which she then placed Mk’s new plush into and buckled it in, even putting a helmet on it! She just put her own plush into the bike’s “saddle bag”. “There! Now just hold on tight. I’ll make sure you don’t fall,” she said, walking back over and crouching down for him to get on a moment later.

  He was cautious, of course, but Mei hadn’t given him any reasons not to trust her - Not to mention, he really wanted to get home soon - so he hopped aboard. Once she was sure he was safe, she felt through the air with one foot for her first step. One foot on the first raindrop, she stepped forward with the other, slowly moving upwards as she got into a rhythm. Then, high above the city, she started moving faster, the dragon-cycle following on the ground- Mostly. 

   She occasionally slid on the rain to get lower and stepped up to get higher, Mk panicking slightly but continuously getting overpowered by laughter and the excitability brought on by the adrenaline rush and disbelief that he’s riding on the back of a human-formed dragon who is running on rain.

  After a while, she spotted his place and slid down the raindrops to reach the ground, right in front of Pigsy’s Noodles. “WOO! That was EPIC! Now c’mon! Let’s hangout!- uh- assuming I was successful in making you wanna be my friend?”

  “Heh! Yeah. You were successful, alright! That was amazing!” he exclaimed, hopping into the air and kicking his legs out with excitement.

  “YES!” Mei shared in his excitement, punching the air happily. They grabbed their plushies from the dragon-cycle and entered Pigsy’s shop, chatting gleefully about Monkey Mech. 

  Tang looked at them in disbelief and commented, “I honestly thought you were gay, Mk.”

  The Little Monkey looked over, somewhat confused and said, “Oh, yeah I am, actually. Me and Mei are just friends.” Mk explained.

  He has a friend!

  “And I’m Aroace.” Mei continued. 

  “Oh, really? I didn’t know that.” the younger teen mumbled. Pigsy was absolutely dumbfounded that his son had befriended a goddamn dragon, while Mr.Tang was vibrating at the fact that he now had access to a member of the dragon family to ask about their history. “C’mon, Jie Jie!” Mk said excitedly as he ran over to the stairs.

  AND they were already sworn siblings?!

  Shadow Dad chuckled mirthfully as Mei followed, just as excited.

  "Uncle? We need you." his nephew's familiar voice requested through the earpiece.

  The grown demon rolled his eyes and took one last cheerful look at his son before beginning to head down with a resigned, "Alright! I'm coming. I'm coming.."

Nightmare Tripitaka:

  And there ya go! Sorry it took me a while again, but again there was a lot to get through. Also, I got a little obsessed with TMNT and started doin’ some stuff with that. You might see what I’m doing in a while (I mean, like multiple months, maybe a year. You’ll see why when I show you that.)   Anyways, without further ado,

  Have fun, and happy scrolling!

Prev- Chapter 7 and Next- Chapter 9

Kageyama + Suga + Park + Yellow

"You remind me of my little brother sometimes, Kageyama."

"Huh?"

"Yup! He's still in middle school, but he's only a year younger than you. He's *also* a little prodigy." Sugawara's chuckle was warm. Kageyama was going to miss it. He couldn't *really* say that he made friends with all his teammates, but as a senpai, he secretly considered Sugawara his favorite.

"Though, my brother is into debate, rather than volleyball. Our parents are already planning his political future. They're aiming for Prime Minister, of course."

"... That doesn't sound like me at all?" The unsaid question was punctuated with the *bap* of the ball against his arms. His mouth and brows pinched, trying to piece together whatever puzzle Sugawara had presented him.

"Well, two are more different than similar. Like, I think I took all the tall genes before he could get them. He's still so small, it makes me feel really nice coming home to him after spending all day with you giants. I hope he never grows up, he's really cute!"

"Suga-san."

"Dang it, lost the lead again," Sugawara had the decency to at least sound apologetic, even if he was still smiling, after a year, Kageyama still hadn't figured out why Sugawara had so many different kinds of smiles. "You and my brother, you both work so hard, you know? And you inspire me to work hard, to be braver and fight for what I want."

Kageyama's cheeks felt warm. He decided to blame the setting sun, and not the praise. "Ah."

"I fully believe that the both of you can go anywhere you want in life." Sugawara caught the ball and turned his full attention to Kageyama. "I also want you both to remember me once your famous! When you get interviewed, remember to tell them Suga-senpai taught you all you know!"

Sugawara was winking at him. He was pretty sure he was being teased, but in the way meant to show affection rather than disdain. His mind couldn't help but compare the way Sugawara called him cute or made fun of him as a backwards way of praising him, to the way Oikawa would compliment him as a way of antagonizing him.

"You didn't though."

"Cheeky!!"

"Yeah," because he was. He was absolutely being cheeky. Somehow, Sugawara got him in a headlock and was giving him a noogie in retaliation. It wasn't painful, but he's *seen* bruises on Azumane's sides in the clubroom. He wasn't sure Sugawara knew how strong he was.

"Brat! You're such a brat! Just like my brother this way too!" But Sugawara didn't sound angry. It was nothing like the intense scolding he witnessed on the court. This was like when he'd complain to Daichi-san about being lumped with the trouble makers or calling Azumane a coward.

The assault didn't last long. They take a seat in the grass, by a tree. The shadows are growing longer. "You didn't teach me everything. But..." Sugawara's head is tilted toward him, attentive. "...You taught me a lot of very important things. How to communicate and pay attention to the spikers.H-how to earn their trust." Kageyama looked to the ball in his lap. "You didn't have to. We were competing for the same position. And... You made me better. Even though I'm the reason you didn't get to play a lot your third year. I'm sor-"

"Don't you dare apologize, Kageyama."

He felt himself stiffen. He was stuck in Sugawara's furious gaze. Eyes that usually felt so gentle burned him. He didn't shrink away, but he felt a little smaller.

"I got to play. Period. I got to see my team make the national stage, and maybe it wasn't exactly how I wanted it, but you guys... We were there. I've been asked why I stuck around, since I guess from an outside perspective, there was nothing in it for me. But let me assure you, Kageyama, I got *so much* out of this year. Indescribable as it is. So don't you apologize for that. Don't you apologize for your skill, for what you were able to help *our* team achieve. "

Kageyama exhaled. "You know, Sugawara-san... You remind me of someone too."
