You and Sam had decided on a code to use in the most grievous, world-shattering of situations.
Full Dean Meltdown
Neither one of you have had to use it – until you get a text from Sam. A case has gone all kinds of awful for Dean. You are not ready for the version of Dean you have to face in the aftermath.
Notes: This is total self-indulgence because I miss This Dean.
I'm participating in @jacklesversebingo and this part will fill my "Hair Pulling" square.

You stare, mid-muffin chew, at Sam’s text.
“Fuck me.” A few stray crumbs and a rogue blueberry land on a page of lore you should probably be more careful with. But you can’t be bothered with MOL reference handling procedures at the moment.
This is Red Alert. Defcon 5. Designated Survivor Mode Activated.
You and Sam had decided on a code to use in the most grievous, world-shattering of situations.
Full Dean Meltdown
“Fuck.” There’s no point in continuing to curse to yourself. “Fuck.” But you can’t help it. Neither one of you has ever had to use it before. You’d come close a few times.
The book is forgotten, pushed to the side on the table surface. Your fingers glide over the phone’s keyboard.
Is he alright?!? What happened? Please, tell me this is a joke?
I wouldn’t joke about this. Sam’s words bubble up, line by line. Well, I made the mistake of joking right after it happened. It’s gotten progressively worse the entire drive back. He hasn’t said a single word since we got in the car. IDK what’s gonna happen.
“Fuck.”
Should I evacuate? How much time do I have?
Just pulled into the garage.
Shit, Sam! Do you not understand how a code word for disaster preparedness works? One needs enough time to actually prepare for the disaster!
You wait. More bubbles. Then nothing. Maybe Sam didn’t make it out alive. Maybe you should make a run for it through the war room and up the stairs. Save yourself.
I received some communication. He’s headed straight for the showers. Meet you in the lab.
Tumblr media
“A what?”
“Musca.” Sam sighs. “Ever seen ‘The Fly’?”
“On cable years ago, filtered through my fingers.”
Sam continues. “They secrete this sticky goo to build a nest.” His mouth crinkles. “Dean landed in it.”
“The nest?” you ask.
“The goo. A puddle of the stuff. Monster fluids freak him out.”
You shiver in disgust at the thought. “Fuck creature feature fluids. 100% in agreement.”
“So, we tracked the musca to its hideout in an abandoned factory. We split up when we got inside…”
“Why do you always split up?” you ask, following it with a frustrated groan.
Sam purses his lips and then proceeds. “When I found him, he was basically glued to this massive conveyor belt holding the goo like it was a kiddie pool. I had to cut him out of most of his clothes to free him.”
The thought of a half-naked Dean has you shiver for other reasons. “Poor guy,” you add in an effort to express sympathy over your dirty thoughts.
Sam chuckles.
You straighten with worry Sam has figured out your crush on his brother. Ready to dispute any yearnings, you add a grumbly edge to your voice and the question. “What was funny about any of that?”
Sam fists long strands on the right side of his scalp high in the air. “Even his hair got stuck to the belt. I had to hack half of it off.” He fingers his bangs back into effortless waves. “Once we killed it, Dean mumbled, ‘Vidal Sassoon you ain’t, fucker.’”
You shrug, confused. “Well, I mean, I get the trauma from the nasty gnat excretions. But that doesn’t explain why you had to warn of a possible Dean disaster.”  
Sam’s gaze tears from yours to stare at the floor by his boots.
“Sam?”
He lifts a shoulder. “I might have said something like, ‘We can’t all be masterful hunters with glorious locks.’”
You frown. “Sam…”
Sam raises a hand in defense. “Hey, maybe now he’ll finally shut up about my hair being a liability. I mean, hello, I’ve still got mine.”
Tumblr media
The temptation to knock on Dean’s bedroom door is great. But you refrain, hiding away in yours instead. He’ll be better in the morning, you decide. Especially if you fry up some bacon.
A light rap of knuckles against mahogany distracts you from the latest show binge on your laptop. You pause the action. “Yeah?”
“Got a minute?” Even with the question, Dean’s tone sounds like a command.
You gulp. “Sure.” Rotating in the seat, your hand grips the top of the backrest. You’ll try to hold the line against the Dean Winchester Offensive.
The door swings slowly on its hinges. Dean slinks into your space. It’s the opposite of his usual bluster and humorous bellows that lead to inevitable laughter on your end. His slippers shuffle along the tile. He’s wearing roomy sweats and a dark t-shirt that hugs his torso. A folded towel is wedged into the crook of his arm. 
Your brain locks onto two things that appear off about Dean. The first thing totally out of place on the masterpiece before you is the baseball cap.
In the next second, you remember why he’s wearing it. It’s not because he’s undercover as a delivery driver or Fish and Wildlife Game Warden.
Dean does not want you to see his hair in its current state.
The second thing makes your pulse quicken. His beard is… gone. You can’t remember the last time you saw him even close to clean-shaven. You forgot what that sharp jawline used to do to your insides.
“Hey.” You don your best don’t-let-on-to-anything smile.
Dean scrutinizes you as if you are a witness in his rapid-fire way and then huffs. “Son of a bitch told you, didn’t he?”
You decide not to remind Dean he and Sam share the same mother. “He did. I’m sorry. You okay?”
The door clicks shut. “I’ll live. Sam might not see the light of day, though.”
You ignore the murder threat, instead focusing on a new scent in the air. You sniff, nostrils flaring with the deep inhale. Dean smells like he’s working on an amazing beach tan.
He nods at your reaction. “Coconut Oil. I had to use all that was in the kitchen for…” He circles his lower body with a finger and eventually points to the baseball cap.
“Did it do the trick?”
“Better than I hoped. I even got all that nasty shit out of my hair.” His weight shifts from one foot to the other. “But I need a favor.”
“At your disposal.” Still seated, you somersault your hand as if addressing royalty.
That at least cracks a tiny smile into his serious veneer. “I had to take a razor to my hair and cut it pretty short. Can you clean me up in the back?”
You clutch your chest and gasp in the most dramatic fashion you can muster. “You trust me to touch your hair?” 
“I trust you with my life, wiseass.” Dean smirks. “Can the sass and help a guy out, would ya?”
A warmth blossoms in your heart at Dean’s words. The heat spreads to your skin. You wave a hand at the towel and clear your throat. “Those the accouterments?”
Dean quirks a brow and grins. “Croutons?”
“And you call me the wiseass.” You sigh.
He shrugs with a nod in agreement. He drops the towel on the desk and lifts one of the corners to reveal the electric razor inside.
“Okay. Here’s as good a place as any, I suppose.” You rise from your seat, close the laptop, and move it to your dresser.
“You sure? We can go to the bathroom.” He thumbs at the door.
You wave a hand at the chair you vacated, now standing behind it. “Here’s good.”
Dean sits. The wooden chair creaks.
“Towel.”
Dean grabs the razor before passing the towel. You flap the fabric, channel your inner toreador, and let it billow over Dean’s frame like a sail. When it settles, you wrap and tuck it into the back of the collar.
Moments like this are pure indulgence. Getting within close proximity of Dean years ago left your brain unable to process the simplest tasks. Breathing. Blinking. Talking. Eventually, you got a handle on your senses. Now, you could treat yourself to the experience of him on occasion in a myriad of ways. No one had to be the wiser that the mundane helped create many fantasies.
“Razor.”
Dean chuckles, presenting you with the razor over his shoulder. “It’s not surgery.”
“Hey, appreciate the seriousness with which I’m embracing this endeavor.” You step to his left. “Dean?”
He lifts his head to peer up from under the brim of his cap. “Yeah?” His blinks emphasize the question.
All that does is force you to focus on his pretty lashes and the eye color he’s daring you to try and describe in your head. The cheekbones and the manicured five o’clock shadow aren’t helping matters either. You swallow and remember what’s supposed to happen next. “Can’t do much with that hat on your head.”
“Oh. Right.” He sighs. “Just, no laughing, alright?”
You place a hand on his shoulder and squeeze softly in confirmation. “No laughing. Promise.”
Dean exhales. You suck in your lips and hold your breath. He closes his eyes and peels the cap off.
You stare dumbfounded.
“Say whatever you gotta say,” Dean mumbles with scrunched features and shut lids.
Your vision clouds. Heart races. “It’s…”
“Awful,” he interrupts.
“Perfect,” you whisper.
Eyes open at the word. His gaze shoots up to meet yours. “Huh?”
Gone are the 90s dreamboat bangs he’s been growing out and tending to since 2020. In their place are a couple of directionless inches that need gel after the scrubbing, clipping, and hat matting. The Musca goo must have done most of its damage around the sides and back. In those areas, he’s shaved it short and close, done his best to fashion a fade that you imagine was muscle memory for him even after all these years. You eye the spot at the base of his skull that needs to be cleaned and tapered.  
You’re blinking, fighting back tears, utterly speechless.
Dean stares, total confusion lining his face. “Are you crying? Why the hell are you crying?” He taps the top of his head. “Shit… is it that fucking of a fiasco?”
“No.” You cover your mouth at the possibility a nervous laugh might spill out, which will only irritate him further. Moments pass as you struggle to steady your breath.
“Well, what the hell is it then?”
Dropping the hand covering your mouth, you beam down at him. “It’s you.” You could care less about what you were supposed to do with the razor in your hand. Instead, you perch your ass against the desk so you can lean back and take him in.
Dean’s eyes widen. You’ve seen that look of concern many times. “Yeeaaah. It’s me. Who else would it be? Do I need to get Sam?”
Your head shakes in amazement at the vision. “I haven’t seen this Dean since… damn, since before the pandemic. Since you and Sam made that bet, remember?”
“Gonna have to be a little more specific. Sam and I make lots of bets.”
“The one about you being unable to resist the temptation to take a razor to your hair during lockdown. I don’t even remember what the stakes were.”
Dean contemplates. “Hm. I haven’t got a clue. That was like, what, four years ago.” His lids shade the dark green of his irises. “This Dean?”
You nod. Your breath hitches at the swell of emotions rising. “The guy I first met.”
Dean shifts in the chair and leans forward. Every furrow and crinkle on his face melts away. His eyes appear to double in size as he waits for you to continue.
“My hero.” The whisper is a physical manifestation of how vulnerable and exposed you feel at Dean’s silent interrogation method. You press on. “The one that risked his life to save me… forever ago.”
He lifts one side of his mouth in a lopsided grin. “Sam was there, too, you know.”
You laugh. Cheeks warm at the adorably smug reaction. “Yes, you’re right. He was.”
Dean shakes his head. “Sam’s had the exact same haircut for years. I don’t see you crying every time you lay eyes on him. He’s a walking reminder of the guy you first met.”
“But he’s not you.” In your haste to provide an explanation, you realize you’ve said too much.
Dean’s mouth opens a fraction. His brows downturn. He’s working it out in his head in real-time.
You’re terrified.
A new smile forms. You think you spot a blush on his cheeks. “What else do you remember about this Dean?”
You shrug and tear your gaze from his. You don’t want your words to betray you again.
“Hm.” Dean rambles off a laundry list. “A lot of brooding back then, wasn’t there? I was a really good brooder. Hard to figure out? Distant, too, right? Definitely knew what was best for everybody. Stubborn jackass.”
You remain silent.
“Okay, still a stubborn jackass.”
You giggle. He joins in with a chuckle. Your anxiety eases and you find courage to look at him again.
“We’ve all changed in different ways, I guess. You, for example.” Dean gestures in your direction.
You stiffen. This could go many ways. You aren’t ready for any of them.
“You don’t take any of my shit, for one.” He raises a finger. “You're confident. You speak your mind. You have a life outside of these bunker walls.” Four fingers are on display for a while. He smiles and elongates his thumb. “But you still make this your home.”
“Every second of the life I’m able to live is because of you guys. I owe you everything. I’m lucky you let me make this my home.” You reason.
Dean’s smile drops. The open palm clenches into a fist and rests on his thigh. “You don’t owe us anything.”
“You and Sam did all that for me without batting an eye. You didn’t expect anything in return. You and Sam gave me so much more than I could ever repay. You gave me a second chance. You gave me a home.” You shrug and smile. “You became my home.”
He studies the floor and smirks, stating more to himself, “Not the only long-standing bet I’ve lost to Sam today.” Dean inhales and sits tall, focusing back on you. He nods, slow and calculated. “So, perfect, huh?” 
You roll your eyes. “Don’t get a big head.”
“A little late for that.” He grins and reclines back. “Would you go so far as to say this Dean” – he sweeps his hands in front of his figure in a dramatic gesture – “is irresistible?”
You exhale. “I don’t know if I’d say irresistible.”
He licks his lips. “Whew. Well, that’s good. I mean, otherwise, you’d have the same problem I have.”
You drop the razor on the desk and cross your hands over your chest. “What problem would that be?”
A heated gaze, beginning at your socked feet, rakes over you with his answer. “How much I find every fucking thing about you irresistible. You could shave your head and wear a potato sack, and I’d still have to keep my feelings in check.” You're practically on fire by the time his eyes lock with yours. “Every goddamn second of every day I’m around you.”
“This would be one of those times I don’t take any of your shit,” you scoff and squint back.
It’s his turn to clutch his hand to his chest. “You think I’m lying?”
“I think you’re having a little too much fun at the expense of my soul-baring.”
“Wanna bet?” 
Dean’s voiced that question countless times. Tonight, though, certainty laces his words.
He seems to take your silence as the only needed response. “Kiss me.”
“Wh-hat?”
“If you think you can resist, kiss me, and it’s a one-and-done.” His brows lift. “But if you can’t… Well, I might not leave this room anytime soon.”
“That doesn’t sound like a wager. More like a dare.” You straighten your stance. “Besides, you’re assuming…”
He grumbles out an interruption, “Sounds like somebody’s stalling.”
Your mouth snaps shut.
“Maybe we both take the armor off for a night. Take a chance on something that could be awesome.” Dean posits. His hands rub the cloth atop his thighs. “I can make it awesome.” The tone is low and promising. “If it helps, I’m this Dean tonight. We can worry about that Dean tomorrow.” He smiles, reaches a hand out to you, and nods in encouragement.
He’s struggling to play it cool, keep his emotions in check. You’ve seen this Dean before. He’s inhaling and exhaling fast through his nose. His jaw clenches and it cracks your resolve even further.
You drop your shield and let this Dean win you over. 
You melt, wrapping your fingers over his. This Dean’s touch electrifies every cell and awakens every dormant hope you had put to rest. He tugs you into his space. His lead forces the parting of your legs in order for his thigh to slot between. You hover. Your chin drops to your chest while his chin tips up high to hold your gaze. His body heat pulses off him like a vibrational energy. “Kiss me.” It’s the sweetest and softest request you’ve ever heard this Dean utter.
Your fingers trace along the freshly shaved hair over his right ear. It’s slippery and smooth in one direction, scritch-scratchy in the other. You can study every battle scar on this handsome canvas. No bangs of curtains or overgrown beard can hide them from you now. 
His lips part and release a deep sigh. Your fingers slip down his neck. Warm hands rest on the curve of your hips.
“I won’t be able to resist you,” you whisper.
“Good,” he hums. He’s guiding you with a firm grip to straddle his thigh. Then, there’s an encouraging push with a large palm and splayed fingers against the middle of your back. The sweet smell of coconut hits. Your gaze zones onto that bowed top lip. The way the plump bottom one parts from it to grant entrance.
Dean huffs an impatient groan you are all too familiar with. “You don’t kiss me in the next five seconds, I’m gonna kiss you.”
“Is that supposed to be some kind of threat?” you tease.
“More like a warning.” His voice is gruff and deep.
You hold back a moan at the sound, then dip down and do as you’re told.
Everything about the kiss is eager and rushed. Together you’re a tangle of limbs and fever pitch need. You’re pressed tight and right to his body - all muscle-tense and trigger-ready. His lips respond in kind to your every brush, swipe, and nudge for more and more.
“Gonna take such good care of you,” he murmurs through the kiss.
You gasp in satisfaction at the intention. 
His lips skim to your jaw, under your ear, then down your neck. “I gotta know that’s what you want.”
“Yes, Dean.”
Another hum thrums against your skin. You shiver as fingers creep under the hem of your t-shirt. His nose nuzzles along the frayed v-neck collar. He cups your breasts under the fabric. A thumb and finger twists one of your nipples even more erect. Teeth scraping and tongue lapping over the other fabric-covered nipple draw a strained moan out of your throat.
Soon the shirt is tugged hastily over your head for removal. Then you feel his mouth and hands all over your breasts again, unencumbered.
You’re a panting, heaving mess riding his thigh like you’re on an X-rated carousel. You arch your chest into his face. He’s slurping and sucking your nerve endings into the stratosphere. He pops a tit out of his mouth long enough to order, “Yeah, come for me so I can fuck that nice wet pussy.”
Dean staring at you, commanding you to come for him, is the tipping point you need to orgasm hard and fast.
“Yeah.” He grabs a fistful of your hair and clamps his mouth to yours. “Gonna feel so good around my cock.” He steals every gasp of air you expel with his inhales.
You’re tingling all over. He peels you off his thigh to sandwich his standing body to yours. He towers over you. He’s stiff and erect in his sweats, pressed into your lower tummy. His hands sweep up and down the channel of your spine.
“This Dean’s got a lot to make up for.” His tongue licks at your lips. “But I gotta be inside you right now.”
You nod. “You got five seconds to get me naked and on that bed.”
Never let it be said that Dean Winchester is not up for a challenge.
The chair behind him is now careening towards the bedroom door on all four legs. You scream-giggle as he lifts you into the air while he twirls, then tosses you onto the mattress, bouncing at the impact.
The sound of the chair crashing and toppling into a corner does nothing to distract you from watching Dean tunnel out of his t-shirt, kick off his slippers, and hopscotch out of his pants and boxers. His hard, thick cock springs to attention.
Fuck. You want every inch of that deep inside you.
He hooks his fingers onto the hem of your pants and manages to pull your socks off along with them. Kneeing onto the bed, he croons, “Been wanting you for so long, baby.”
Your head falls back into the cushion of the mattress, woozy from Dean’s actions and confession. “Probably been wanting you longer.”
Your panties are off and tossed over his shoulder next. “You don’t gotta wait anymore.” He grips under your knees and drags you to him. He slides over the wet heat of your folds and hisses, “Wanna fuck you without a condom.”
You whimper, “Just fuck me already.”
He smiles, grabs his cock – that must be fitted with a pussy homing device – and pistons into your entrance without any further mother fucking ado.
You gasp at the searing heat and sharp pain of him stretching you open. But he doesn’t stop fucking you. He’s minding how your facial features accept the brunt of each thrust and the agonizing slow release of his cock. Over and over. His descent is just as slow as he fucks. But eventually, your legs clamp around his waist and he wraps you in an embrace. Chests plastered together, moaning into each other’s mouths.
Your fingers inch into what remains of his bangs. You pull at the hair and Dean groans out, “Yeah.”
It’s lovely and languid for however long you both have the patience. The feel of him everywhere and inside is something you don’t ever want to end. But there’s a second orgasm building. The thought of Dean spilling into you has your walls clench in impatience around his cock.
“Fuck,” he grunts, face tucked along your neck. You lift your head up to enjoy the view of his undulating back and curvy ass clenching and raising as his fucking gains momentum. You pull at his hair again. “Fuuuck.”
He stills, turns to stone, and you feel his cock pulse and warmth spill inside. Moments later, a hand wedges between your bodies to thumb your clit and trigger your second orgasm.
You cry out his name.
“I got you, baby,” Dean whispers into your ear. And he does. Not letting go and practically swaddling you with his body. The sexiest weighted blanket on the planet.
You smile and stroke – instead of pulling – at his hair. “Who’s got me exactly? This Dean or That Dean?”
He sighs, sounding winded. “You get all the versions. Whether you like it or not.”
“I’d like that very much.”
He leans back to stare at you. “Yeah?” He’s red and flushed and the happiest you’ve ever seen him. “Even if I grow my hair out again?”
You nod. “Yeah. More for me to pull.”
Dean groans and flops to his back beside you, chuckling.
You listen to the rhythm of your collective breathing slow down and regulate. His fingers brush along the flesh of your thigh. “Dean?”
“Hm?”
“Earlier, you said something about losing two bets to Sam today. What was the other one?”
“Asshole told me you had a thing for me years ago. Let’s hold off on telling him he was right, or I’m doing his laundry for an entire year.”
“I don’t think we have to tell him anything, Dean. I’m pretty sure he heard everything.”
“Hm. You’re right.” He’s up on an elbow, staring down at you. “Maybe text him that code thing? That might get him out of the bunker for a while.”
You blink. “Code?”
“Don’t play coy now.” Dean shakes his head. “But what’s the ‘66’ mean?”
You bite your lip.
He waits.
“It was Sam’s idea.”
He waits.
“The 66 Seals.” 
Dean cringes.
You shrug. “Too soon?”
“And he says I have a twisted sense of humor.” Dean yawns. He finds the edge of the comforter you both are lying atop and tosses it over your naked bodies. “So, will you still clean me up in the back? Maybe wait until morning, though?”
“Absolutely.” You snuggle into his chest, secure that Dean will wake up next to you in the morning. “If you don’t look good, we don’t look good.”
It takes a beat before Dean responds with a teasing smack to the back of your head, followed by a kiss on your forehead. “Wiseass.”

a note about my chongyun portrayal, that hasn't changed from his old blog:
my chongyun is an adult. blog canon, he is 20 years old. the REASONS i made him older are because if you count the events in game as canon (which i do because they're lore heavy), then the characters are having birthdays and growing older. if at base, chongyun started at 16/17, then he'd be solidly an adult at this point. plus, canon ages are never stated, and i don't like it's treated as canonical fact that he's minor coded, when to me he seems more autistic over anything.
I'm also going by his career. i know it's common where the children (klee, diona, for ex) run around on their own without adult supervision. but chongyun also has an established career and fame to him that requires him to be away from home for days at a time. he rarely talks about his parents. while by itself that isn't really proof enough, for me personally, it tells me that chongyun is old enough to be entrusted with this kind of dangerous job. hes actively walking into danger and having to make decisions to get himself out in one piece.
i also chose to disregard some of his more naive personality shown in the game. the game doesn't give him all that much to begin with, and even if you don't count the passage of multiple years, time still passes, chongyun would have his matras memorized more, and he'd be less naive to the pranks xingqiu pulls on him. i would rather write chongyun as more street smart and intelligent overall, which is why i gave him the personality he does.
as a result, an adult chongyun would pick up on more suggestive humor, play into it himself, and see people for who they are. he's not blind to the harsher side of the world, he's snarky and passive aggressive, and knows what's what.
i really do not like chongyun, at least my portrayal of him, being treated like a child. i am not asking for ships (yes i am), but i am asking for base respect in that chongyun isn't treated like his game counterpart and given the "little brother" treatment, at least not without discussing it with me first.
i put so much thought and care into a massively underrated 4* and i get unreasonably irritated when all my work is dismissed and disregarded. when i say i love chongyun and have studied him, I mean exactly that.
if you're willing to interact with my chongyun, and YOU SHOULD!!, then please do not jump to kiddy mode. he is not a child, i did not pick his age lightly. it came from years of writing him and finding exactly what works for me and what in-game needed to be fixed.
tl;dr: my portrayal of chongyun is 20 years old. if you treat him like a minor i am side eyeing you.
also ps: chongyun is nonbinary. he/they pronouns please. yes, both.

Beginning to the fight in the au
Nick: “Woah, pretty cool animatronic, Percy. Hold long did it take you?” *Nick asked, approaching Percy Poodle*
Pal: “Hee~! At least a month..or two! Potentially longer. It has this awful habit of overheating sometimes but I’m working on fixing it! Also, it’s more of a mech suit than an animatronic! I know I won’t be singing to little kiddies with Percy Poodle here!”
Nick: “Why make it a dog then?” *Nick asked next with a small giggle, teasing Pal as he ruffled his hair.*
Pal: “Gah-! Nick, I told you I wasn’t a fan of that, it takes forever to comb into place,” *Pal takes off his head band and begins to brush his hair back into place. He then readjusts his head band before stepping up to Percy Poodle with a proud expression. Pal takes his claws and twists them in the light.* “I made it a dog because I feel like any other animal wouldn’t do. Not to mention the time it would take to make a human or one of those things in the old cartoons! Also. I prefer dogs,” *Pal chuckled, wiping off the claws and making sure they’re shiny.*
Nick: “Hrm…” *Nick notices how sharp the claws were on Percy’s paws along with the potential fire hazard that the fabric ears and tail would be.* “What’s with the sharp claws?”
Pal: “Huh? O-Oh! Uhm..” *Pal looks around for a reason,* “TamaLanki suggested in his own little language that I add them for cutting fruit. I did it just so he wouldn’t bother me about it. Oh! You remember the Tamas, right Nick?” *Pal asked, putting Percy’s arm back into place before inviting Nick over to his desk where 7, small tamagotchis sat.*
Nick: “I..think so but you’ll have to job my memory again, it’s been ages after all.”
Pal: *He picks up the first 4, leaving the other 3 deactivated.* “The other 3 are just more TamaRoachis. He doesn’t like being alone,” *Pal carefully sets the little electronics on the ground before activating each one with a gentle few taps.*
-All 4 wake up with their own little movements. TamaOpti reveals its tendrils and almost immediately threatens Nick with killing him (before Pal put an end to that). TamaLanki spreads out it’s long limbs and death curls Nick’s arm, gently monching his arm before Pal also put a stop to that. TamaBruti has a moment of panic (He doesn’t like new people) before charging into Nick’s leg while trying to hide. TamaRoachi chirps, looking around. It then buzzes before falling back into sleep mode, not today, sorry.*
Nick: *Nick laughs softly, holding each one gently.* “Gosh..I forgot how cute these little…tamagotchis(?) are. I think the Roach and Eyeball one are new though.”
Pal: “I named them TamaRoachi and TamaOpti respectively,” *Pal looked over at the Percy mech before rounding up the tamas and putting them back into Sleep Mode.* “Hey Nick. Could I get your help with something? I built a compartment into the Percy Poodle animatronic for a place to sit when controlling it. Unfortunately…I am really short. ‘Pocket Sized’ as you used to call me,” *Percy teased with a chortle, poking Nick.* “Think you could help me into Percy? Or at least reach the latch?” *Percy places the Tamas into a hatch in the back of the animatronic.*
Nick: *Nick looks over at the Percy animatronic.* “Are you sure you can even get in there?”
Pal: “Not without your help Nick! I lost the ladder!” *Pal smiled and took Nick’s hand before walking over to the mech.* “Come on, it’ll be fine!”
Nick: “I-I mean…” *Nick looks back over at the fabric tail and ears.* “…If you’re sure it’s safe…” *Nick approaches the mech before picking up Pal and lifting him up to the hatch.*
Pal: “Remember how we used to do it? Question, do you still have good balance?” *Pal asked, looking down at him*
Nick: “Oh no. P-Percy, I’m not sure-.”
Pal: *Pal cuts him off.* “According to my calculations of our ages and current weights, I should be able to stand on your shoulders and be able to get into my mech with 0 issues. If you help me of course!” *Pal winks with a smirk.*
Nick: “Ha…you’re not gonna stop suggesting into until I do, huh?”
Pal: “Nope! Minus well help me up now!” *Pal laughed proudly.*
Nick: “You are so needy,” *Nick chuckled before carefully balancing Pal on his shoulders* “You be carefully up there!”
Pal: “I am always careful!” *Pal reaches for the hatch, suddenly grumbling.* “Crap.”
Nick: “Oh no…what’s wrong?” *Nick asked.*
Pal: “Ehehe…I-I added tough to open latches on the opening the avoid anyone else going inside that wasn’t me,” *Pal looked embarrassed, looking back down at Nick.* “These things are gonna be the death of me…” *Pal began to fiddle and mess around with the latches, struggling to open them before the latch swung open, almost tipping Pal and Nick over when it aggressively flipped upward.*
(Side note: I know that the ref for Pal and Percy in my au shows the hatch with a downwards opening but I just bow realized at 3:43 am how impractical that is, so I’m having it open upwards)
Pal: *Pal covered his eyes, quivering before feeling Nick stabilize the two of them.*
Nick: “Percy? Are you alright? That latch opened rather quickly..”
Pal: *Pal gulps, quivering,* “Y-Yeah…I’m fine…” *Pal commands Nick to move forward now so Pal could sit down in his mech.* “…Hey Nick?” *Pal murmured as he climbed into the seat and began to start everything up.*
Nick: “Erm..” *Nick rubs his shoulders and looks up at Pal.* “Yeah?” *Admittedly, the mech looked rather intimidating from Nick’s point of view. Pal deadass built an 8 foot tall mech huh?*
Pal: “I just wanna say..thank you for being my idiotic, best, Pal…” *Pal smiled, his smile growing ominous along with his giggle as the hatch closed. The inside of the mech glowed a toxicating green glow as everything began to boot up in the mech.*
Nick: *Nick knew something was wrong by how Pal laughed like a mad scientist at this. He..never done that. Nick stepped back, getting anxious.*
Pal: *Pal grins, the glass lighting up with a cup minigame along with words and expressions.* “Haha! It worked! This is TRULY HAPPENING! Oh you. are. a. TRUE. FOOL, Nick! Thinking that this was just a normal get together! HA! Of course not..!” *Pal brought Percy’s fist down on Nick.*
Nick: *Nick barely manages to dodge it along with Pal’s swipes and even attempt of stomping him flat.*
Pal: *Pal smirks smugly,* “You’re fast Nick, I’ll give you that! But as all villains have said before. You can’t dodge forever…”
Nick: *Nick bolts out of the room during this explanation, beginning the bossfight.*

The Big Brothers with an Age Regressor
So I was tempted to do this and now I am, age regression stuff for fandoms i love.
The basic premise is reader is a (gender neutral) age regressor who regresses unintentionally around the brothers. It’s late so I only did he oldest brothers for now but I might do more.
Lucifer
He honestly probably doesn’t notice when you regress at first. After all mc is a tiny, fragile human in the devildom, constantly surrounded by demons.
So of course you’re going to be a little quiet in public, sticking close or even holding on to him or his brothers by a bit of fabric.
Then when he starts to know you more he takes notice of the soft look on your face, the slightest change in voice when you speak, even the way you move or carry yourself is all a bit different. More... childish, even a bit carefree as time goes on.
Your giggles are adorable and he can’t help but feel that old urge to nurture and guide Mc, like a guardian.
“Is there a particular reason you tend to act like a child?”
He doesn’t mean it as harsh but it might come out like that, blunt and to the point as ever.
When you admit you’re an age regression and explain it for him, it pleases him to know you feel comfortable enough around him that you’re unintentionally setting yourself up to be dependent on him, that you rely on him.
To say the least, he’s more protective of you whenever you’re out, just encase you begin to slip. Holding his hand is a must. You’ve almost stepped away and been lost in the crowd on a few occasions.
If he didn’t have to worry about your reputation and the image it would set for the both of you, he’d put one of those kiddy safety harnesses that go on like a backpack.
He might indulge you and buy some presents for you if you’re good, do all your work, and keep up a decent grade. But puppy dog eyes might work once or twice.
He will probably ask you to try and stay big when you’re with his other brothers, just so they don’t influence you. And when you’re around Diavolo because he wants to remain looking professional.
That goes out the door when you get tired one day while at the demon lord’s castle and he ends up carrying your tired, tiny self back to HOL propped up on his hip like a child. Barbatos definitely snagged a photo for him and Diavolo.
Will probably help change you if you need help, whether your tired or not. Straightening your clothes before school definitely becomes a habit of his.
Mammon
Trust that this man will never know the difference between you in little space and you just kidding around. Even if you’re all dressed up in a onesie, he’s just going to join you and set up for a movie night.
He’ll unknowingly feed into your age regression. Do you babble? He thinks you’re making up a secret language to get past lucifer, he doesn’t understand it so far but he’s in. Stuffed animal hoard? Hell yeah, he understands a desire to collect things.
When he finally realizes is when he catches you sucking your thumb, or trying to shove something in your mouth that you shouldn’t be putting in there. Big brother mode activate, instantly pulls whatever it is out and reprimands you, “Oi, human, that’s bad for you.”
Big watery tears bubble up and he’s panicking, apologizing and soon he just wraps you up in his arms and rocks you. He’ll sing something nice that he used to sing to Beel and Belphie to calm them down.
Once you’re calm, he explains more gently why you shouldn’t stick stuff in your mouth and asks why if set you off so bad.
You explain and he doesn’t exactly understand but spends a few hours with you just looking at videos and asking you about the stuff you like.
“Whats a little age?” ... “Okay then whats your little age?”
surprisingly thorough with finding things that are good for you to use like adult pacifiers or teethers, even chewie jewelry so you have something a bit more “mature” even if it’s a bright piece of rubber(?) shaped like something thats not typical jewelry. It’s something you can wear outside of HOL at least.
Probably gets in trouble for buying some things for you with Levi’s account but will buy the stuff he can’t easily explain away himself if you haven’t told the others.
and oh does he hope you haven’t told them. In fact, don’t tell them. He is your caregiver now, and he will be the best damn caregiver ever. Even if he acts like he’s too tired to do something like play or pick you up, he’s so whipped for your sweet pout that he will.
And hell forbid anyone makes fun of you because you start slipping, papa Mammon is getting rid of them. He’s not the second brother for nothing, and he’s the fastest at that.
Leviathan
Now this ones a bit tricky, because there’s a lot of tropes about childish characters in anime but also he’s probably heard of age regression through anime, but some of those animes include full body transformations, which isn’t happening.
So he’s confused, but he’s paying attention. As an introvert he’s probably the first to notice a difference in your attitude, more attuned to other’s body language and just- you can’t tell me this dude doesn’t actively watch others out of anxiety anyways.
“You’re not like this in school or really around anyone else... Are you an age regressor, Mc?” “Oh! This is just like this anime I watched, ‘My sibling is a polite honors student until they come home and becomes a toddler with an insatiable urge for stuffies and world domination!’ You know, minus the world domination stuff.”
Doesn’t believe that you’re comfortable with him and thats why you regress. Nah, you’re probably stressed and upset having to deal with the otaku talk about anime.
He’s probably too embarrassed to buy you things himself, so he’ll let you add things to his cart on Akuzon and after making sure you don’t spend too much, order it for you. Then immediately becomes embarrassed when he accidentally opens it when it arrives.
Would make you things to hide your little stuff in. A waterbottle cover that has an extra zipper at the bottom to hide something small? Done. Want to turn a stuffie into a hiding place? He’s got zippers. Hidden pockets in any of your clothes to sneak a small friend? He’s got you.
If you really wanted, you could probably convince him to make you a custom onesie. You wont even have to convince him if its something anime related like Ruri-chan or Henry, he’s already planned it out and he’s going to have a matching one.
Not a responsible caregiver and never will be. 
You two will be playing video games all night, maybe you end up with a crick in your neck from sleeping in a random position, and he might have forgotten dinner and just gave you snacks from his gamer stash. 
Literally he’s more like the cool older brother, you both need help.

Before the trio headed off to the slightly-improved Ohan'ali Beach! I say "slightly improved" because, before they came here today, I popped into the beach in Build Mode and made a few adjustments -- adding a barrel grill over by the picnic area, putting some fancy loungers out on the dock, adding a kiddie pool for any visiting toddlers afraid of the ocean, and applying the Sunny Aspect, Bracing Breezes, and Island Spirits lot traits. Oh, and putting a certain three-legged object in a certain spot...
But THAT was for later. When they first arrived, they had some other activities they wanted to complete --
-->Victor actually did specifically want in-game to cloudgaze with Alice, so I had them plop down on the sand and do that first thing. They seemed to have fun, even if I don't think there were many clouds in the sky! And it's always good to fulfill wants, to avoid that dang "unfulfilled dreams" fear...
-->Smiler, meanwhile, spotted their buddy Nalani and went over to chat for a little bit over the chess board, before joining her to make a nice sand sculpture of a turtle. :) Gotta keep up one of their most important friendships, after all!
-->While Smiler and Nalani built their turtle, Victor moved over to swinging on the swings, while Alice decided to try scavenging for stuff in the sand, instead of just combing it for shells. Unfortunately, all that did was annoy a fellow beach goer. I mean, dude, beyond there being some extra mud kicked up, how can you even tell the difference between werewolf scavenging and normal beach combing? I swear, Sims are so uptight about so many harmless werewolf activities...
-->Determined to have a good time and get away from judgy NPCs, Alice plopped herself in the kiddie pool for a little lounge while Victor went to relax on one of the free towels and Smiler, done with the turtle, took their turn on the swing. Everyone had a nice time chilling for a little bit, just enjoying the sun and sand and whatnot...
-->And then it was time for a swim! Because you can't visit the beach and not take at least a short swim. Alice changed into a more appropriate bathing suit on her own, though I had to direct Victor and Smiler to take off their shirts and shoes (and sunglasses). They hung out in the water for a little bit, splashing each other and chatting a little bit --
And then I got a pop-up in the corner. Saying that Alice had work in an hour.
Yeah, apparently while I wasn't looking, she ran out of vacation days at her job. Well, THAT wasn't going to fly! I sent everyone back to shore, where Alice shook herself off and FINALLY officially quit the Artist career (she really does NOT need that paycheck anymore). Victor, fairly tired, took over a lounger for a nap while Alice went back in the water to do some laps...

(Rant)
Didn’t do much yesterday bc I was in standby mode after lunch (mornings I usually don’t do much anyway) bc I had a dentist’s appointment in the early afternoon, and then I was made to walk over an hour home (note that it’s only just over a mile away and for physically abled people, this would have taken less than 30 min), getting dizzy and nearly falling multiple times, not just my hands but also my feet going numb, and depleting most of my energy, because my mother thinks me being disabled is just me making crap up or faking it or being dramatic or making excuses to not do *checks notes* things I would otherwise want to do or at least not mind doing. Yup. It’s totally not, y’know, me actually having things wrong with me that prevent me from doing stuff (or at least make it difficult) that normal people like her can do no problem. So I was utterly exhausted (despite having taken a break in the shade three blocks back, and that wasn’t my first break either but it was the longest) when I finally made it home and could barely get my legs to take me the last few feet to my bedroom. I got changed and then collapsed and then hardly moved since. I’m glad I don’t have work today. I also developed a headache, so I couldn’t keep the light on for long. Or my eyes open for long, either, since one of the affected parts was the top of my right eyeball. So I ended up turning in early, like, before 9 p.m. early.
Like, my legs nearly gave out right in front of her and she still got mad and talked shit about me to my sister, because clearly nothing is actually wrong with me and I just want to spite her. (I mean, would I like to do things just to spite her? Yes. Of course I would. Do I? No, because it would mean repercussions, which I don’t want. Though, there still are anyway bc she thinks whatever the hell she wants, so what does it even matter? I still don’t, though. Maybe I’m actually still holding on to hope that this time she’ll actually believe me and won’t accuse me of doing shit I didn’t do. Maybe I’m just a coward. Either way, it’s hopeless.) Hell, I coulda collapsed on the side of the road or even ended up IN the road bc I lost my balance or my leg gave out or whatever and gotten run over, and she still woulda gotten mad at me. It��s my little sister she cares about, and my two older half brothers; I’m the abomination, the demon child who can never do anything right, who will never be good enough. Even if I did everything she wanted and nothing she didn’t, it wouldn’t change anything, because then she just finds something else to hate me for, as I know from experience. She changes the rules and tries to gaslight me into thinking that THIS is what they’ve always been. My memory may be terrible, but that sort of crap tends to stick. Sure, I still doubt everything I think I remember, but I do still know one thing for sure: she does not love me.
I didn’t even realize I was disabled until I started working (and some of it may have been the sort of attitude my parents have, that being disabled means you’re bound to a wheelchair). I always just thought that it was just that I wasn’t particularly active. Even when we had recess and P.E. and when I played kiddie soccer for a short time, my stamina and physical ability were lower than my peers, but it gets too hot to do stuff and it’s not like I worked out either, generally preferring to draw or read. It’s not that I didn’t (or still don’t) want to do more active and/or outdoorsy things, but even ignoring that the outdoors generally don’t agree w me (heat, allergies, severe arachnophobia that is also my mother’s fault that it’s this bad—exposure “therapy” does the opposite of help when you get zero say in or control over it!), I don’t get that same sense of reward or satisfaction or accomplishment that many people get after physical activity that makes a tough workout, etc. worth it. But I do after finishing a book, or a drawing, or a quest/level/chapter in a game, or from organizing things. Little wonder then I often choose the less strenuous option when that’s also more rewarding.
Then I started my job at the doughnut shop six years ago, and it started improving… but I plateaued waaay before I expected to. And then I started being given more hours, and I did not breach that plateau—in fact, I receded from it, even if more gradually than I worked up to it. I’m getting worse. My body cannot handle it. Fully physically abled people do not collapse (barely making it to a chair rather than just sinking down right there) and are then unable to move at all (seriously: I can’t even twitch a single finger, and I certainly can’t talk either. I don’t think a lot of people realize just how much energy it takes to talk. Or maybe it’s just more exhausting for me than for everyone else…) for several minutes because they’ve reached the very bottom of their energy once every 4-day work week. Fully physically abled people are not laid up in bed, barely able to move or do anything, for a day (if not longer sometimes) from pain and exhaustion after an 18-hr work week. But oh, no, I’m just faking all of it because I’m just SO good at acting and I just LOVE lying SO much :) (Both of those are patently false, btw)
Yes I need to get out of this house, no there is no hope of me ever being able to.
(Am I just making excuses, though? Everyone else can do it if they try, even disabled people. Am I just not trying hard enough? Am I just using that rhetoric that not everyone CAN try harder even when you think they should be able to as a shield when it doesn’t actually apply to me?)
I don’t know why some part of me imagined she’d be worried when I finally made it home after being gone so long. Of course she wouldn’t. Of course she’d act coldly.

Tumblr media
I’ve seen a sentiment circulating that indicates a lack of understanding about the nuanced process of growth so
Yes, in “Snow Day” Steven was super frustrated that the Gems were trying to bond with him using activities and expectations that were more appropriate for his childhood. He felt that they didn’t understand he’d matured and moved on from some things they seemed to be clinging to.
And yes, almost immediately afterwards in “Little Graduation” Steven was so in denial refusing to accept others’ changing/growing that he tried to stop them from embracing change for themselves.
But no, this was not “contradictory” or “hypocritical” or bad writing. 
I mean, technically, sure, it’s kind of a contradictory idea if a person wants others to respect their evolution but won’t do the same for those others. The problem with framing this as hypocrisy is that Steven has been aware of his own growth the entire time he’s been doing it, while some of the “offscreen” growth for others has happened while he wasn’t able to participate in it. He’s only just gotten to a relatively stable part of his life where he can start to see a future for himself outside of constant firefighting and crisis mode, and he’s finally allowed to discover who he is beyond “everything that everybody wants me to be when I’m grown.”
Tumblr media
The Gems’ behavior in “Snow Day” made him feel like they hadn’t been paying attention to who he’d been growing up to be right under their noses. The people he tried to trap into not leaving him had grown similarly, but their choices and changes came as a great shock to him--so much so that he felt like he was losing them. Kids who are growing up don’t feel like their parents are “losing” the child they once were--though parents do sometimes say they feel that. He did not understand the Gems’ feeling of loss, but he did understand his own, and believed they were very different things.
All that time that Steven was fighting for his family and fighting for Earth, he was doing it because he wanted to preserve and be part of this world he loved. In a similar sense to what he dealt with in the movie, he finally felt like he was DONE and had earned a stable existence, and he wanted to enjoy that . . . only to find he’ll always have more to do AND the people he did it for/with are ready to scatter to the edges of the Earth (and beyond) without him. His desire to change and grow in a way comfortable to him WHILE seeing his friends as a stable, comforting constant that will support him is not hypocritical or contradictory. It actually all comes from the same place: he wants to flourish in the garden he’s helped to plant, and his childhood having been spent in an ever-changing, goalpost-moving, terrible roller coaster of trauma has made him want to finish his growing up with a stable ground for once.
Trauma is often processed after some time, when it’s become safe. And then, like we saw in “Growing Pains,” Steven had to come to terms with the fact that he was now reacting to smaller things the way his body and mind had learned to react to anything upsetting. He melts down and has freakouts, and nobody understands.
Tumblr media
Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl have their own ways of changing, but none has done so in a way that it fundamentally damages Steven’s relationship with them or makes them unable to continue interacting. They live for thousands of years and he can count on them, and they’ve been there for him through many to most of the traumatic experiences even though they failed to protect him from the traumatic effects. He understands, logically, that things must change and that change is GOOD sometimes, but when that change breaks up your friend’s band, brings in a stranger to love your friend, throws your friend into space for more dangerous adventures, and makes you face that your best friend is moving into a stage of her life that you don’t understand and can’t necessarily follow, you just want to stop feeling bad. You just want to stop feeling like you’re always on the brink of losing everything.
Tumblr media
The writers of Steven Universe Future did not forget their own movie happened and have Steven still pining for a happily ever after despite lessons learned. The writers also did not write Steven as a hypocrite who thinks change is okay for himself but bafflingly cannot handle it in others. He wanted the Gems to continue to be there with him on his journey, and when they kept wanting to do things that took him back before he’d worked through so much of this--not realizing he’d become a vegetarian, thinking he’d like Pupcopter because it’s a (kiddie) version of Dogcopter, mommying him with clothes he doesn’t want to wear and criticizing his breakfast choices--he felt that they were not making the minimum effort to journey with him. He felt like they were out-of-touch parents who needed him to be a young child to relate to him. He felt like he wasn’t being respected in the growth and change he’d made.
Tumblr media
And he can feel that at the same time as he feels others’ changes are forcing him to be more distant from them.

bre boys taking their toddlers to a water park
Billy Russo: A wet, shirtless Billy holding a laughing baby does nothing but attract stares--yours included. Your kid wants to go everywhere, so Billy takes them all over the kids’ section of the park while you lounge nearby with a drink in your hand. He doesn’t let them out of his sight for a second, and he ignores all of the stares, because his focus is on his baby having fun and you being able to relax for a moment. 
Logan Delos: Did Logan spend upwards of $100 dollars on your toddler’s swimsuit? Yes, yes he did. And your baby looked bombed as they splashed around the kiddie pool, shouting “look at me! look at me” in their squeaky little voice. Logan takes 100 pictures of you in your bathing suit and 100 more of your kid playing. 
Jax Teller: Okay, we all know what Jax looks like shirtless, but imagine him shirtless and wet while holding a baby. He goes on all the little rides with your kid, takes them to get a hotdog and icecream, buys them the horribly overpriced water park t-shirts--Jax is in full dad mode. And he looks good as hell doing it. 
Coco Cruz: Coco can barely take two steps without a little kid staring up at him in wonder. He’s more tattoo than man, and all the kids and babies think he is SO cool. Your kid is used to it, so they just pull his hand and keep taking him from ride to ride. “Come on Daddy, this one! This one!” 
Angel Reyes: Oh, Angel does it all. He’s going on the rides, the slides, anything your kid wants to do. He walks around with your child on his shoulder, steering him by his hair. He’s easily convinced by your kid to let them get on rides they’re technically too little for--but he goes with them. All in all, both of them sleep like babies that night after having such an active day. 
Miguel Galindo: Miguel rents out the park; he doesn’t want to wait in line or have to worry about so many people around. He takes your kid and a few of their classmates and lets them have the run of the place. Your kid has so much fun, and it makes you so happy to see them holding hands as they walk to the next ride, your kid chattering happily and smiling up at your husband. 
Nick Amaro: Nick loves seeing your baby so happy and excited. He doesn’t let go of their little hand the entire time, and when they get scared that the water’s too high, clinging to his neck, he pats their back and whispers to them in Spanish “I got you, mi amor, Dada’s got you.” Everyone within a 30 mile radius just melts.
Johnny Tuturro: Johnny has been raising your kid as a real beach bum, so they both have the time of their lives at the waterpark. The sun shines down on them both, and Johnny can barely take a step without someone complimenting him and your kid. “You two look like twins!” “Such a good Dad!” “Wow, look at what a good swimmer!” Johnny just grins, turning to you with a wink, totally in his element. 
Rio: Rio makes sure he has eyes all over the park. Once that’s done, he lets himself enjoy the day with you and his kid. He indulges you both in everything--rides, little pools, Dippin’ Dots--totally seduced by your smile. He loves these kind of days, when he can just be with his family and enjoy being a father. He takes a bunch of pictures that day, and whenever he’s bored while working, he scrolls through them. It never fails to put a smile on his face.

☕️ transformation items in precure!
Overall I’m more tolerant for dumb designs with transformation items than in weapons so most of them get a positive or at least neutral reaction from me. However some still scream “we would never have used a design like this if it wasn’t for the toys”.
Let’s go through them all!
Futari wa Precure
Tumblr media
Simple flip-phone like designs for the modern girl in 2004. I think these are alright enough but don’t raise a lot of emotions in me. Not a fan of the mascots transforming into items, like does the phone become a part of their body, that’s just creepy. I’d prefer if it was made clear that the phone is a separate item and the mascots just shrink to be able to fit in it. I prefer the original designs, the upgraded ones look busier.
Tumblr media
Uhh... I got nothing on this. I guess it’s nice that the new girl gets an item that’s a bit different but also similar to the ones we already have.
Splash Star
Tumblr media
Still got nothing, it’s the same thing again. Good that they started using different ideas from the fourth season onwards. I guess I prefer the Futari Wa ones since these somehow feel too small. Nice light? But let’s just say that while it’s just fine to use phone as a base for the transformation item, there’s quite many of them on this list and in general they are a bit boring when you can’t do anything else with them than press a few buttons in the beginning.
Yes! Precure 5
Tumblr media
Simple design but it works, usually black is a good idea. Though it could do with some buttons because now it doesn’t look you can do much anything with this. It’s a nice detail how the henshin starts with the lid of the clock opening and ends with it closing.
Tumblr media
Now we’re truly in the 00′s with the flip phones. I like how the henshin starts with the lid opening, and the rose button is cute. But there’s not a lot to say about this one and it’s pretty boring.
Tumblr media
My second least favourite Precure transformation item. What is this even supposed to be? Some kind of makeup case? In that case I’d rather have the colous be actual makeup and not buttons. The handle also feels stupid.
Fresh Precure!
Tumblr media
This doesn’t even try to pretend it’s not a phone, it even has the number buttons. Actually were the transformation items originally the Cures’ phones? Can they make regular phone calls with this? I’d like to see that. But this is cute enough, I can imagine that a real phone like this could have been popular with little girls. But maybe it could do with some extra detail to look more weird, now it feels a bit too mundane to be a magical girl item.
Heartcatch Precure!
Tumblr media
I’m not a huge fan of beauty products in little girls’ shows, but they do make a lot of sense in a transformation sequence where you get to see the characters “apply” the magic themselves, and the fragrance bottles make for some great henshin animation and also fit a flower-themed season. I also like the white-and-gold palette, makes it look more regal than the usual shock pink.
Tumblr media
I forgot this one even existed. I really can’t muster any emotion towards it, KiraKira did the compact mirror thing a lot better.
Suite Precure
Tumblr media
Why are the colours pink-white-blue-purple and not yellow? I don’t have particularly strong feelings for this one in any direction, I guess on its own it’s a bit boring when it doesn’t resemble any real item I can recognise and you can’t do much else with it than press the button at the bottom, but I also think it’s fine to have an item like that every once a while. However I think the little mascot creatures that are needed to use this thing are uncute and that lowers the overall points.
Smile Precure!
Tumblr media
Another makeup item, another chance for the characters to do the transformation themselves. I love the little tup tup! sound effect that comes from this. Otherwise great, but it’s just unacceptable that the canon Cures cover 5 of the coloured bead thingys but we don’t get a red or purple Cure. False marketing I say.
Doki doki! Precure
Tumblr media
The mascot-items are back and I’m still not a fan of this living-creature-turns-into-hard-plastic-device thing. It’s a phone, but it’s also too bulky to comfortably feel like one. But I really like how they spell L-O-V-E with the heart, I thought that was creative.
Tumblr media
They tried to make Ace all cool and mature and then her transformation item is the most kiddy-looking TOY makeup box ever. Even if the merch is plastic can’d she at least have actual makeup in the henshin? And what’s with the button colours, sure they’re the team colours this time, but the other Cures don’t even use this item. 
Happiness Charge Precure!
Tumblr media
The idea that the Cures can choose different cards to insert is a super fun one, and it’s also nice that they can use it for more mundane outfit changes outside battle scenes too. The writing around the cards is atrocious though but that’s another story. As for the design of the device itself, I think it’s pretty weak, it’s somehow bulky and not very memorable.
Tumblr media
Probably my least favourite item from this bunch. The Piano is yet another unrelated thing that is shoved into HapiCha’s confused world, there is nothing about making music in the themes of the season, or Iona as a character. I hate that this thing is the culmination of Hime and Iona’s character arcs. Also the design looks really cheap and the animation where Iona presses a couple keys to get sounds that don’t even try to hide that this is just a toy for three-year-olds wastes time.
Go! Princess Precure
Tumblr media
Another makeup item. At least perfumes fit the princess theme... But Go!Pri has the best henshin scenes in Precure, and the Cures applying the tranformation themselves plays a part in that. I also love how they start the transformation by filling the bottle with their theme colour, and the little twist they do with the key is a nice change from the usual button presses. And like with Heartcatch white and gold makes for a good regal colour palette. I think you could get an actual pretty fragrance bottle for grownups with this design if you did it with glass rather than plastic.
Also there are the keys which I love because of course I’m going to love collectible frilly dress items. They give each transformation and attack something unique and I like the bit where all the keys show up in a chain at the end of the henshin (and thankfully otherwise hidden under frills so you don’t need to draw them every time), and it’s nice to get the lock-and-key theme to the henshin as well. So once again Go!Pri is the best Precure at something and now gets the award for Best Precure Transformation item.
(god flora is so cute in this frame)
Mahou Tsukai Precure!
Tumblr media
My bias that ever since I was a kid I’ve never really liked teddy bears comes to play here. The idea that the Cures don’t have a distinct transformation item at all is fun and the jewel theme is nice too, but I’m just filled with negative emotions whenever I see Mofurun... I haven’t seen MahouTsukai outside the henshin scenes so who knows if she’ll turn out to be my favourite character (and not just by process of elimination from me disliking everyone else more)
Tumblr media
Not a big fan of this one, is it supposed to be a smartphone, or do they have some kind of smart notebooks in Japan? Either way it doesn’t really fit witches or flower fairies. All the little engravings are pretty and the flowers are cute, but overall this feels just random.
Kira Kira Precure a la Mode
Tumblr media
Mixing the attributes the character represents with a magic whisk and then transforming by covering yourself with the whipped cream is a super fun idea, and also one of the few Precure transformations where the girls apply the transformation themselves that is not based on beauty products. Or I guess this is a pocket mirror too but whatever. The item itself is fun and cute enough.
However as those who saw my Ichika fanart a few days ago I really really really don’t like that they have to fiddle with the pathetic tiny q-tip of a whisk, give them one the size of a microphone so they can put some strength into it!
Hugtto! Precure
Tumblr media
I love how you can twist the end to make a heart, if I had one of these I’d click it back and forth while sitting at the computer and the hinges would be busted in no time. The grey things at the edge of the screen could be some other colour, now they look a bit like they’re made of rocks. I don’t think this one does anything special but it’s just so cute that I have to love it.
Star Twinkle Precure
Tumblr media
These are fun but a bit wasted on a season that has nothing to do with art. But otherwise A+ idea, very active participation from the girls when they draw almost everything in their new look, and it’s not makeup-based. Quill and ink bottle are the most magical writing apparatus so that’s very fitting, and thanks to the space theme we get some stars too so it’s not just the usual hearts. The pink tone is a bit gaudy.
Healin’ Good Precure
Tumblr media
And we end on a weaker note with mascot items again. And these are my least favourites since to me they come across as if they have the dead-eyed animals’ decapitated heads sticking out of them. The paws also feel somehow unbalanced, and should not be pink for the blue and yellow items. The bottles feel tacked on too.
I feel that the mascots have been treated a bit better than average in Healin’ Good so I suppose it’s not bad that they get to be involved with the fights too (It’s nice that the item is also used as a weapon) but I would really rethink the design since now I don’t think the different elements go too well together and the result feels unbalanced.

Hi, Friends!
Still alive! I’m still living the routine from previous posts. Still just forcing my brain to focus on taking things day-by-day while not succumbing to the agony of monotony. . . things that have helped that: reading, different workouts everyday (mostly yoga, barre, and pilates), my husband giving my bike a tune up so that I can ride it again after nearly TWO YEARS. Oh, how I have missed it! On June 4th, I’ll be starting school, so the routine will change some. I’m nervous, but I’m also excited to exercise my brain. Believe me, I know VERY WELL, that stay-at-home parenting is work and coming up with creative activities for a one-year-old ALL DAY definitely requires thought and creativity. . .but my brain is also aching for some more diverse challenges. . .
A positive from this period of life is that I have gotten to know a TON of my neighbors. Despite living here for eight years, I didn’t know all that many of them. Now, because of the pool in the back yard, when we’re not swimming, if B wants to play outside, we’re mostly out front, so we see all the neighbors when they walk by, and we walk even more, so we see them then, too. Everyone is respectful about keeping their distance, but it’s nice to chat for a bit. And, we live on a loop street that also has a cul-de-sac in the middle, and we’ve been recently invited to join the cul-de-sac crew! (Basically, to come out with our lawn chairs and distance hangout in the evenings.)
Yesterday was 99 degrees here, and the “feels like” temperature was over 100. I AM NOT READY. (I’m never ready.) I swear my mood is directly tied to the weather, and I am too drained and too tired after months of shelter-in-place to deal with stepping outside to be instantly drenched in sweat. *sigh* I’m grateful we have a pool, but one can only swim so much with a baby. . . I was so looking forward to being able to take B to some neighborhood splashpads and the YMCA kiddie pool with friends. Ugh. See, I cannot allow my brain to slide into the mode of dwelling on all the things I’m frustrated about. . .
Moving on. What have you guys been reading?! We should be Goodreads friends! Books are keeping me sane. I love something that I can just focus on that drives out everything else from my brain. I did finally just read a non-fiction book to get myself back in the habit for school, but mostly during this time I’ve just been choosing fiction because keeping up with the news is more than enough horror/non-fiction for me. . . I just started Deacon King Kong by James McBride, but I’m only two paragraphs in, so too early to comment on it. I must HIGHLY recommend the Broken Earth trilogy by N.K. Jemison, though, if you haven’t read it. Fantasy is not my usual genre, but sometimes I venture in, and those books blew me away (after the first 60 pages, during which I had to get used to the world/language). Also, it had the best series/book ending of any I can remember--I just loved it.
