He also won't take responsibility if the child accidentally injures itself when he lets them play.
He also would be a bad father figure, although a better mentor figure.
His favourite sing has been stated to be the one that partially inspired him "You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile" from the musical, Annie.

He also values humor, enjoying when people can give him a good view of their misery.
Has a "fancy study"
Alastor dislikes being touched and will go out of his way to avoid it, usually in the most off-putting way possible.
Conversely, Alastor does not respect the personal space of others at all.

You know how Percy can tell exactly where he is when he's in the ocean, I think Leo should know like most things about fire. Like he just automatically knows what temperature things set on fire or what an objects melting point is, he sees a fire and knows how hot it is just by looking at it, he knows how long things will burn for by just touching them. Like that would be so cool.

HIIII CHINO HOW U ARE?!! 💗💗🫂💗 I also want the interesting things for Leiftan or any thing/fact about Leiftan I’m dying I need content of him 😭😭😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🫂 mabeibi ma beibi please I beg you sweetie, xoxooo love you sweetie!!
Heya ! I am fine thank you I guess the easiest for me to tell about Leiftan is his all backstory who was actually and unfortunately never correctly exploited and explained in game. Leiftan was a toddler during the time of the Blue Sacrifice. The aengels didn’t want to sacrifice as planned, and for this reason they ended up being persecuted by the other faes. Leiftan’s parents were killed, but before they died they put him in a stasis spell to hide and protect him.
An aengel survivor, Verom, ended up finding him. (Mowgli style XD ) Verom was weak after the persecution and he decided to establish himself at the Fountain of Youth in company of the Naiade nymphe who guarded the fountain. (She is linked to her fountain as hamadryades are with their tree.) She was a good soul and offered her help. They cared for Leiftan, still in stasis at this point.
After some centuries, Leiftan’s soulmate was born and Leiftan not destined to be alone anymore, the freezing spell broke. Toddler Leiftan slowly awoke and started living again.
So he grew up with his adoptive parents. As soon as he could, Verom trained Leiftan into using aengel powers, and taught him about the Blue Sacrifice etc.
When he was still very young, a group of exploring humans found the fountain’s place by pure luck. They ended up trying to steal its water but in the fight they killed the Naiade. The fountain dried immediately and she turned to stone. There was just a little bit of water left, she could rejuvenate with a lot of time and patience, and hope.
And then we arrive when Leiftan was a young teen, some humans found the fountain again, but this time they knew what they were looking for. And these humans happened to be... leaded by Erika's father. He was looking for that youth fountain discovered years ago, Erika was sick and dying from some unknown disease (certainly related to her Fae genes), and that was the only way he knew that could save her. He wanted the remaining water. They fought for it, of course. Charles kills Verom (he is an old man by now) and by taking the last drops of the fountain he also kills the Naiade.
With that bit of magical water with him, he and the soldiers left as he came. Thinking everyone dead.
But Leiftan was not, and he is left as a young daemon, partially trained and able to hide his nature. Full of anger and hate. Hate for both faeries and humans and this is his villain origin story.
(And so, Charles is the person who killed his parents, but also the one who saved his soulmate in doing so. How so tragic hehe.) ———————
Another thing is the potion they make Erika drink later in the story so they would forget about her on Earth.
It was Leiftan’s idea all along, he suggested it to Miiko. With this solution, he was sure Erika would have to stay by their side and he would do anything to keep her close to him. He then acted innocent around her.
And for those who might be mad at this revelation, sorry but don’t forget Leiftan has always been a villain and a good two faced one at this. (Especially in the earlier story)

Demon Slayer (Yuu)niverse Incorrect Quotes #20 Giyuu!Yuu’s Letter Box
*While on the Camp Vargas Event Giyuu!Yuu forget to lock the their room so they called Lilia to lock up*
Lilia: Okay I got a box but there’s no key in here just letters.
Giyuu!Yuu: That’s the wrong box put it back.
*Lilia sees that all of the letter’s have Tanjiro!Yuu’s handwriting*
Lilia: Oh Giyuu!Yuu are these letters from Tanjiro!Yuu
Giyuu!Yuu: Don’t read those letters
Lilia: Oh look they call you raindrop that is so cute.
Giyuu!Yuu: PUT DOWN THE LETTERS
*SwapGyutaro!Yuu snatches the phone*
SwapGyutaro!Yuu: Hey Lilia it’s SwapGyutaro!Yuu
Lilia: Hey SwapGyutaro!Yuu how’s camping
SwapGyutaro!Yuu: Delightful. Listen I don’t know what you’re doing right now
SwapGyutaro!Yuu: But there are little bubbles forming in the corner of Sheldon’s mouth
Lilia: Okay yeah I kinda of crossed a line put them back on
SwapGyutaro!Yuu: Thank yooou
*SwapGyutaro!Yuu hands the phone to Giyuu!Yuu*
Giyuu!Yuu: I’m back
Lilia: What up Raindrop
Fun fact: Tanjiro is canonical pen pals with Uzui, Urokodaki, Senjurou, the ladies from the red light district, and Giyuu (he never answer back)
So I headcanon that Giyuu kept all of the letters and keeps them in a safe place

CANON FACT TIME! (See fact 18 for the charisk)
This time I’m going to tell you all.. get this: 25 AZREMI FACTS!
Number 1: Azreal has a few custom sweaters based on their favourite shirt to wear whenever the shirt is dirty. They gave one to Emily because she really wanted one. Now sometimes they play something Co-op like Mario 3D world or cuphead as “sweater buddies”
Fact Number 2:Emily has met Azreal’s sister (who’s name is sarah) after everyone was freed. Emily told Sarah off for what she did to Azreal, and let’s just say: It worked and Azzy won’t have problems with his old family any time soon. (Note, I said any time SOON.)
Fact Number 3:Emily and Azreal always do their homework together. They get a plate of cookies and get to work.
Fact Number 4:Azreal and Emily sometimes fall asleep on the couch when watching a movie or playing a game, so Toriel or Asgore picks them up and TRIES to bring them to their beds, but they don’t let go of eachother, so Toriel or asgore end up just putting them both in Emily’s bed because it’s closer.
Fact Number 5:Azreal and Emily will match their Halloweeen costumes every time.
Fact Number 6:Scorch and Water put Azreal and Emily on their Tomodachi life and rigged it so they’d start dating
Fact Number 7:Azreal doesn’t really like their singing, but Emily thinks they sound Angelic.
Fact Number 8: Azreal and Emily have only really fought once and it was because Emily accidentally threw Azreal off the edge in Mario maker. (The fight lasted 3 minutes before the two of them realized how stupid it was and just hugged it out… for 6 minutes.)
Fact Number 9: sometimes Azreal and Frisk go with Univer to debates on monster rights, and Emily comes along. Any time someone says some snarky remark about Azreal “pfft, and what do YOU know? You’re just a dumb kid-“ Emily IMMEDIATELY Signals to Univer to start playing the “you are an idiot” audio at full blast until the snarky commenter shuts up. Azreal is ok with it.
Fact Number 10:The two of them together share a whole toy room filled with tons of plushies and other toys. Sometimes they play in there together. (Hellspawn, Tricksly, Chara, Flowey and Frisk join them sometimes)
Fact Number 11:They like drawing together sometimes.
Fact number 12:Sometimes the two of them bring Toby to the dog park together
Fact Number 13:They get married when they’re older and you have to accept it
Fact Number 14:Their discord friend nicknames for eachother are “Azzy <3” and “Em-Em :)”
Fact Number 15: Toriel, Undyne, Gerson, and Alphys always pair them up in class projects. (They’re teachers)
Fact Number 16:If anyone were to Flirt with Azreal, Emily would be clingy for the rest of the day. If anyone were to flirt with Emily, Azreal would just pull Emily away from them and hug her)
Fact Number 17:Dark, Darker, yet darker They love each other’s hugs.
Fact number 18:They’re both Huge Charisk shippers and enjoy seeing the Chara’s and Frisks of the multiverse being happy together.
Fact Number 19: Sometimes on the weekend Azreal makes pancakes for the two of them to eat while playing Mario kart, because they know Emily likes pancakes.
Fact Number 20: On Valentine’s Day, they both get eachother a Teddy bear, on Easter, they get eachother a 50 pack of chocolate bars (which they end up sharing with chara and eachother) and on Christmas, they’ll make eachother a “one thing you can’t say no to” card which they use immediately on cuddles.
Fact Number 21: They main Lucas and Rosalina in smash (Azreal Mains Lucas and Emily mains Rosalina)
Fact Number 22:Rouxls Karrd refers to them as “The twoeth of hearts”.
Fact number 23:HELLSPAWNFELL Azreal and HELLSPAWNFELL Emily have an Unbreakable bond, having been through the perils of the Underground without as many friends by their sides.
Fact Number 24: Hellspawnswap Azreal is a total flirt and will regularly tease Hellspawnswap Emily.
And finally, Fact Number 25:
They know the other loves them, and they’re happy as they are right now, but.. they wouldn’t be opposed to taking it one step further.

Underwizard genocide deaths
Toriel = Stabbed. Her soul is the first to get absorbed by the human (yes, absorbed)
Papyrus = The head becomes a block of magical crystals created by the human, then it gets crushed.
Undyne = Stabbed. When she turns into the Undying the final hit is given by Flowey, hoping to impress the human, but he will also be killed.
Muffet = Blocked by magical crystals by all her limbs, then her chest implodes.
Mettaton = Impaled in his main circuit, aka his soul. His soul can't be absorbed.
Sans = Survives the first knife slash, but the human distracts him, then impales him and cages his soul in a sphere of crystals.
Asgore = Slashed. His is the last soul to get absorbed.
Alphys might also try to fight you, but Sans will make it impossible for her to show up by blocking every entrance to the last corridor.
While Chara will always try to interfere with Frisk's murders (there's no player in Underwizard), and at the end they force them to erase the world.
Perhaps though, if more genocides were made, they could pretend to be by Frisk's side, or even become their "partner". That depends on their sanity.

some canon facts about sunny baudelaire:
in the b o o k s, she was always included in discussions with her siblings about what they should do/what was going on at the moment
she remembers everything from that day on briny beach
she also adopted beatrice II. it wasn't just violet & klaus who agreed to look after her.
she could have taken olaf out if she wasn't worried violet and klaus would be upset if she bit out his jugular
SHE WAS ONE OF THE THREE MAIN CHARACTERS. THE BAUDELAIRES WERE EQUALLY THE PROTAGS TOGETHER
she is perfect and that hotel probably deserved to be burned down

hello Chino! I'm sorry to bother you with this question but:
"Lysander still loves Rosa?"
A lot of people say that but I'm convinced that's not the case. everyone says that because of episode 31 and because Lysander called his rabbit Rosa :'(
Hello ! Omg this is like the braids and Debrah question for Castiel 😂🤦‍♀️
Come on please, of course Lysander doesnt love Rosa as a romantic interest. He did have a teenager crush on her when they met, but he quickly let it go when he saw rosa and his brother were interested in each other. And he sure was happy his brother found someone nice. (Wouldn’t have been so easy to let go if he have had real deep feelings)
So yes, he does love her a lot, but like a dear friend and as his sister in law, as familiy, and that's why he is still very close to her, but that's it.
As for the bunny, he named her like this as a joke because the bunny eats A LOT and he also says to Candy that he couldnt name a pet after her because she is unique and irreplacable.

Regulus Black
Wand attributes unknown
External materials place Regulus’s birth in 1961; younger brother to Sirius Black
According to supplementary material, Regulus’s parents were Orion and Walburga Black. Through Walburga’s mother’s side of the family, they were related to the Crabbes. Orion and Walburga were themselves second cousins; intermarriage was one way in which the Blacks maintained their “always pure” lineage.
Regulus was pureblood and subscribed to blood supremacist beliefs. Sirius described his parents as possessed with “pure-blood mania, convinced that to be a Black made you practically royal”, and that Regulus fell in line with his family’s beliefs: “[Regulus was] soft enough to believe [our parents’ views]”.
Walburga and Orion were never Death Eaters, but agreed with Voldemort’s blood supremacist aims. Sirius says they were “all for the purification of the Wizarding race, getting rid of Muggle-borns and having purebloods in charge. They weren’t alone either, there were quite a few people, before Voldemort showed his true colors, who thought he had the right idea about things”. Sirius surmises that when Regulus joined up, his parents “thought Regulus was a right little hero”. But their pride didn’t last long; “they got cold feet when they saw what he was prepared to do to get power, though”, Sirius says.
High-class, came from generational wealth, but unclear how much money Sirius’s and Regulus’s branch of the ancient family had left. The Black’s London home was at one point grand, included a house-elf (only old and wealthy families are seen with one), and the brothers were never described in ways that indicated financial struggle. Sirius, who inherited the Black family home, house-elf, and wealth, was able to afford a state-of-the-art racing broom for Harry. When Harry inherited the remainder from Sirius, a “reasonable” amount of gold, according to Dumbledore, was added to his vault in Gringotts.
Regulus was raised in London, at 12 Grimmauld Place, a “gloomy” townhouse that Harry notes had vestiges of former grandeur, though it was decaying by 1995. The townhouse was of muggle construction and in a muggle square but had many anti-muggle protective enchantments, courtesy of Orion Black; Sirius says, “My father put every security measure known to wizard kind it when he lived here. It's unplottable, so Muggles could never come and call — as if they'd ever have wanted to." The door was battered and had a silver twisted serpent door knocker affixed to it. The front hall had old-fashioned gas lamps, peeling wallpaper, threadbare carpet, a severed troll’s leg that functioned as an umbrella stand, and a glimmering but cobwebby chandelier. “Age-blackened portraits hung crooked on the walls”, including one of Walburga Black, which hurled insults at blood traitors and muggle-borns when awoken. The house had numerous rooms; there were at least 5 (more likely 7) bedrooms: Sirius’s and Regulus’s rooms located on the top floor, Walburga and Orion’s rooms, and at least one more room to house all of the Order members staying there. Harry’s room when he stayed at Grimmauld Place—which was definitely not Sirius’s, Regulus’s, or Walburga’s—was described as having a door handle shaped like a serpent’s head, high ceilings, twin beds, and a portrait of Phineas Nigellus Black. There was also a drawing room (a long, high-ceilinged room on the first floor with olive-green walls covered in dirty tapestries…and long, moss-green velvet curtains”), a dining room, and a basement kitchen (“a cavernous room with rough stone walls”, and “heavy iron pots and pans hanging from the dark ceiling”). On the stairs there were a row of house-elf heads on the walls; Sirius explained that his Aunt Elladora was behind the “family tradition of beheading house-elves when they got too old to carry tea trays”.
Regulus was Hogwarts-educated, placed in Slytherin House. Regulus played Seeker on the Slytherin Quidditch team, and was likely a member of the Slug Club.
Regulus was described as having “the same dark hair and slightly haughty look of his brother”. He was physically smaller and slighter than Sirius, and, in Harry’s opinion, was “rather less handsome than Sirius had been”.
Like Regulus himself, Regulus’s room was slightly smaller than Sirius’s. Regulus seemed to value his privacy and may have had a greater sense of seriousness and pomposity than Sirius; a plaque on the door read, "Do Not Enter Without the Express Permission of Regulus Arcturus Black". His decor choices served to underline his alignment with his family: “The Slytherin colors of emerald and silver were everywhere, draping the bed, the walls, and the windows. The Black family crest was painstakingly painted over the bed, along with its motto, TOUJOURS PUR." If Kreacher did not paint the family crest, this detail might suggest that Regulus had some measure of artistic skill. Above his bed was also "a collection of yellow newspaper cuttings, all stuck together to make a ragged collage.” The collage was comprised of articles about Voldemort, and Hermione surmised that Regulus was “a fan for a few years before he joined the Death Eaters.” Regulus’s fan collage of Voldemort suggests an interest in current events and a sense of hero worship. Regulus also kept a photograph of the Slytherin Quidditch team, of which he was a part, smiling and waving.
Regulus’s relationship with his parents was seemingly positive; Sirius says that their parents considered Regulus the “much better son”, and that they constantly reminded Sirius of it. (Interesting, however, that it wasn’t such a straightforward golden child/scapegoat dynamic that Regulus was given the biggest room in the house at the expense of Sirius…. even after Sirius ran away.) Regulus never disavowed his family like Sirius did, and Sirius speculated that his parents were likely initially proud of Regulus’s decision to join the Death Eaters. Even when he defected, Regulus attempted to protect his family from any potential fallout of his betrayal of Voldemort by keeping them in the dark about his actions.
The relationship between Sirius and Regulus was likely complex: Sirius’s characterization of Regulus was harsh on the face of it, calling him an “idiot” and “soft”, and but it also served to absolve Regulus of some of the blame. Sirius also went out of his way to find out what happened to Regulus, indicating a continued concern for his brother even after he ran away and was fighting on behalf of the Order while Regulus was a Death Eater: “From what I found out after he died, he got in so far, then panicked about what he was being asked to do and tried to back out. Well, you don’t just hand in your resignation to Voldemort. It’s a lifetime of service or death.” For more analysis of the relationship between these two, I recommend this post by @artemisia-black and the addition by @leogichidaa, as well as this other post by @artemisia-black.
Regulus treated Kreacher kindly and likely had a positive relationship with him growing up: "Master Regulus always liked Kreacher". And Hermione pointed out that “[Kreacher] is loyal to people who are kind to him, and Mrs. Black must have been, and Regulus certainly was, so [Kreacher] served them willingly and parroted their beliefs." Voldemort's callous treatment of Kreacher seemed to disturb Regulus.
Regulus was a Death Eater in the first war, joining up at 16 and thus likely taking the Dark Mark while he was still in school. He served for at least a year, as Kreacher told Harry that Regulus came to him about Voldemort's request "a year after he had joined". Though Regulus seemed eager to join, his loyalty began to falter when he learned more about Voldemort’s methods and aims:
When Voldemort made it known to his followers that he required a house-elf, Regulus volunteered Kreacher. "It was an honor, said Master Regulus, an honor for him and for Kreacher, who must be sure to do whatever the Dark Lord ordered him to do". At this point, Regulus was still striving for Voldemort's approval and looking to distinguish himself. Regulus did not consider the request for an elf to be fatal, as he volunteered Kreacher and expected him to return.
However, Regulus's faith was misplaced. Voldemort used Kreacher to test his defenses of his locket horcrux, forcing Kreacher to drink the potion that Kreacher said made him "[see] terrible things. ... Kreacher’s insides burned. ... Kreacher cried for Master Regulus to save him, he cried for his Mistress Black, but the Dark Lord only laughed". Voldemort dropped a locket into the empty basin, filled it with more potion, and left Kreacher for dead. However, Kreacher's magic, which compelled him to obey his master's order above all else, allowed him to escape the cave and the Inferi in order to return home as Regulus had asked.
When Kreacher returned and told Regulus what had transpired, Regulus was "worried, very worried”. Regulus told Kreacher to remain out of sight, as Kreacher was supposed to be dead.
Kreacher says that "a little while later", Regulus came to find Kreacher late one night in a strange mood, "not as he usually was, disturbed in his mind, Kreacher could tell." He asked Kreacher to take him to the cave.
We don’t know how long it was between Kreacher's near-death experience and Regulus's decision to sacrifice himself at the cave. However, Mr. Weasley said this of Regulus’s death: “Sirius’s brother, Regulus, only managed [to stay alive] a few days [after his defection] as far as I can remember.” Thus, whatever story was circulating that suggested to the Order that Regulus had defected posited that only a few days passed between his disillusionment and his death. (However, given that no one besides Kreacher knew what actually happened to Regulus at this point in the series, the story that Mr. Weasley was referencing might not be based in any truth.)
Something in Kreacher's tale had led Regulus to suspect that the locket was a horcrux. Horcruxes were not common knowledge in the wizarding world, especially under Albus Dumbledore's term as headmaster at Hogwarts, when the books on Horcruxes were removed from the library. Therefore, Regulus must have done his own research or learned about horcruxes independently in order to have found out Voldemort's secret, indicating a sense of intellectual curiosity or a special interest in the Dark Arts.
Regulus decided that Voldemort had gone too far and needed to be destroyed. He resolved to give his life to pave the way for whomever it might be who could one day do that. Regulus wrote a note and placed it in a faux locket. The note read:
"To the Dark Lord - I know I will be dead long before you read this, but I want you to know that it was I who discovered your secret. I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as I can. I face death in the hope that when you meet your match, you will be mortal once more. - R.A.B."
(Signed simply as R.A.B. and written in a grandiloquent style, this note conveys a sense of self-importance and seriousness on the writer's part. Regulus clearly did not go about this decision lightly or rashly, and carried the Black haughtiness with him to the very end.)
Regulus drank the potion himself, and, having asked Kreacher to replace the horcrux with his fake locket, ordered Kreacher to leave without him. He asked Kreacher to keep the ordeal secret from the family, and to destroy the real locket. Kreacher watched as Regulus was dragged beneath the water and drowned by Inferi.
External materials place Regulus’s death in 1979, at about 18 years of age.

Charlie's calling Maverick "a big stud" is so stupid like...
Okay, when Carole calls Goose like that , it makes sense , the man irl is as tall as 188 centimeters anyway, but Maverick is small. Like, literally small. He's canonically as small as a squirrel and irl his actor is as tall as 170 centimeters only.🫶🏻🫶🏻 So Mav ain't no stud. He's a squirrel ...
Wanted to get this off of my chest before Tom's birthday is over.
