SIBLING GAME NIGHT SIBLING GAME NIGHT!!!!!!!!!

anyway hope you are having a lovely day!!!!!!!! ty bestie🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💖

[ID: a comic featuring the cast of the owl house, split into two images. The first image shows King holding a pair of uno cards, looking up to the left- towards Luz, who we see in a cut-in-half close up panel of her face, holding three cards in a dramatic fashion. Her face is in shadow and sparkles appear around her eyes. Paralleling her in the other corner is a panel of hunter, holding yellow cards and sweating nervously.

The next image is two rectangular panels of hunter and Luz sitting across from each other with king in the middle, all three of them playing cards. In the background is Gus, Willow and Amity (who is saying "go Luz!"). The first panel is silent, until in the second panel, Luz says "draw 5" with a smug expression. Hunter stands up angrily, his cards flying in the air, and yells "IT IS NOT LEGAL TO DO THAT FOUR TIMES IN A ROW, HUMAN!". king says "haha, yes it is! Loser boy has lost again!" Gus summons a puff of illusion smoke with a scoreboard on it reading "L: 12, H: 0". Amity is cheering and willow summons the word, "R.I.P (again)" in vines and flowers next to hunter. The background is colored with peaches and oranges. End ID]

Frantically ignoring the implications of todays ep. Incredibly funny to me how these bitches ended up actually being siblings

#the owl house #toh #luz noceda #hunter toh #king toh #feels immoral to tag other characters/ships when it's just in the bg so i shan't #this comic was in the ugly phase for a LONG time but for my first toh comic I'm actually really happy?? #I've drawn luz the most out her king and hunter but i also change how i draw her everytime so uh. net zero progress there if Im honest? #but i like how i went abt things here! also loved drawing hunter. i always make his hair very feathery on accident but it's appropriate so #and i love getting to draw hooked noses i love hooked noses and broken noses. yes I'm biased (i.e have a bumpy nose). I'm proud #I ALSO HATE HOW KING IS LITERALLY MADE UP OF BASIC SHAPES IN ORDER TO MAKE HIM EASY TO DRAW. AND HE'S STILL REALLY HARD 😭 #didn't do like. excellent here? but I'm happy enough for our purposes!! #uhh fun details: #i think it's fun how between king being edas son Luz being her kid and hunter being a clone of her great great etc grandad. #they r literally related. wild #and also i didn't get to include it here because my brushes only go so small but me and my friends play uno/jack changes- #-with a mixed deck of uno cards regular playing cards and custom cards we made out of paper #it's a nightmare game called kiss kiss that combines all the rules we know from both games and i think the hexsquad would love it <3 #anyway- thank you for the rec!! enjoy :]

i had such a strange dream last night i had to make this project about SOMETHING in like one hour and it had these little lego models that i built in some sort of lego-minecraft hybrid? and then my friend started talking about the time they accidentally were rude to this guy who my sisters friends with who moved here from america in 2017 and then left in like. 2019 (who were still friends with)(his family are family friends and stuff they visit like once a year bc the mum is australian) who for some reason in this dream used to be in some sort of orchestra ? that my friend was also in despite the fact that irl they dont play any instruments in an orchestra they just play the drums occasionally? and so i made my project about that event for some reason and i was freaking out because it was really rushed . and then i was watching some sort of documentary where the guy from america was like. 8 for some reason and at my old primary school talking about my sister?? then he appeared and was weirded out by my project (understandably)?? and i started remembering some random converssation i overheard his dad having ages ago where he talked about getting comics with his brother from the only shopping centre in the really empty desert town they lived in . idk why

and then i had to frantically finish my project, and THEN i was woken up irl finally

#idk why the guy was in my dream bc literally nothing has happened recently that is remotely related to him or his family 😭 #although fun fact i did once find a pencil in the lost adn found of one of the science classrooms that used to belong to him #i could tlel bc it was one of those american yellow greyleads with a pink rubber + it yk. had his name on it #that was wild #cos like the pencil had just been there for years like he went back to america years ago so its a strange coincidence that i found it #we ended up sending a picture of it to the family i think #OKAY RANT OVER IDK WHY THAT GOT SO LONG…… now you all know the details of my dream and our family friends in america #oh that reminds me of the lady who used to teach us about science stuff in yr 2 bc her kid went to our school who left at the end of the ye #-r to move to florida cos she got a job at literal NASA that was cool #shoutout to reggie you let 7 year old me learn about surface tension and feel cool for having met someone who works for nasa o7 #okay rant for reals over now

ok it seems dream has slowed down or went to cry himself to sleep or something idk but now im gonna try n chronicle this shit as unbiasedly as i can. but whoooooa baby

anyways. it started when Nicolas Cantu (yes yes junkyjanker gumball voice actor) was replying to the dream parody account, dreamwastalen.

(also yes he knew it was a parody acct dude said he was roleplaying lmao)

Dream qrted the 'you can't joke when u an actual pedophile' tweet essentially saying that cantu is a horrible person, accusing him of assaulting dream, treating an uber driver horribly, and that he was saying the r word and being racist. Also says cantu apologized to dream on twitter by blaming it on alcohol and weed.

nicolas qrts, saying 'yes i slapboxed you in front of the hoes', confirming he mistreated an uber driver and said he tipped the driver well after and has been handling his drinking, says he called dream 'fat and a predator'. Nicolas denies being racist. He ends it with "hire a harvard professor to calculate why despite texting every twitch streamer in austin not a single one wanted to fuck you."

also in a qrt to a now private account that basically said 'dream reaching out to streamers doesnt mean he wanted to fuck them' nicolas said dream was sending streamers dick pics.

dream replies saying that nicolas didnt even tip and with screenshots of the dms nicolas had sent him apologizing. The dm is a massive text of paragraph . In an attempt to summarize it is essentially cantu apologizing for hitting dream n that he was out of line, mentioning he was drinking and high, that he thought dream would be an asshole but says he is 'humble, grounded and decent', that he relates to the pressure/discourse around having to deal w fame and havin a lot of influence at a young age, and also that he doesnt know who is and isnt lying w the allegations but he knows having lies n rumours spread bout u sucks.

worth noting im not sure when this message took place so I cant say if its extremely recent, but later dream i believe mentions it having to do with the latest twitchcon. idk [edit: looking ahead robbo mentioned this happened months ago]

Another contender, robbo, comes in saying he was there and that dream was slapped for calling a girl they are friends with a whore. They technically recant this accusation, saying they mixed the cantu slap up with another event that took place at twitchcon, but they continue to claim dream did this.

dream qrts this saying robbo 'wasnt even in the same state' at the time, that he doesnt know who robbo is, that he doesnt go around harassing women and accuses robbo of upholding the benevolent sexism trope of women being weak and needing to be protected by men.

Nicolas cantu makes a reappearance and screenshots dreams reply and tweeting it, then qrting his own tweet with a video of classical music and showing a text allegedly from dream (the name 'clay' at the top of the screenshot) saying 'tsk tsk whore' to someone. The video also has a clip from when dream was in mcc with captainsparklez and said 'we should lynch them' in reference to i think ppl allegedly cheating?.

thats the most of it so far. although robbo and dream continued to argue and at one point dream said he was going to sue them for slander/defamation and robbo qrted with 'sue me.' theres more to that bit but im not puttin screenshots this shit is already too long

anyways. my final opinion: i literally odnt know like half what happening here or if nicolas cantu really was racist or if that screenshot was 'real' and cantu said he wouldnt reveal who the friend dream called a whore is cuz he dont want to pull her into this. so im like what. but dream gettin clapped by nicolas is fucking hilarious and dream pullin the suing thing again is wild. i seen ppl in qrts saying how he already said he was gonna sue amanda and didnt, sayin he instantly pulled the dms w cantu but wont show the evidence showin amanda lied, etc. and those r a lot of what i think a this like. i feel he got angry and exploded again when eh coulda let it die out. but that always happens

#dream hate #pedophila mention #ask to tag #jesus fuck dude its so much #also 'gumball' was trending and might still be lmao

[just-some-guy-joust]

im stubborn and i like talking here's the reasons i put every character i did in side a into the tourney. I'll do side b later cause i gotta go to bed soon

important first note, quite a few of my decisions were because i was trying to get women in here and it was getting desperate because i had to cut out a lot of women for only being "just some guy" because they were written by a misogynist that made her sit on the sidelines and cheer for the male leads. The Woman Situation Is Always So Fucking Dire.

anyways on to the actual contestants im gonna start with the characters that have been causing the most people to start up shit about them not being just some guy

barry bluejeans (taz balance): 2 submissions, personal bias. i think a lot of people are misunderstanding what this tournament is tbh. this isnt about the "normal" characters, tho normalcy does play a factor in it. this is about dudes who are just some guy. there is a difference. barry is a dnd npc who wears blue jeans in a fantasy world and he loves his wife. yes he is a lich. yes he is involved in the main plot. he's also just chillin. like if the plot didn't happen the way it did barry would be playing sudoku or crosswords. he'd be an average man in a very fantasy world. he is so average and human its funny. he is just some guy

tommy (hlvrai): 1 submission, personal bias. his just some guy energy is so there. he gets a propeller hat that does nothing when all of his crew is getting cool guns and upgrades. his life goal is to go home and take his dog for a walk. he gets a chuck e cheese birthday party. he sounds like he's going to burst into tears at any moment. compared to the rest of the crew, tommy is comedically just some guy

ulala (persona 2): 1 submission, description swayed me. it described the list of characters in persona 2 and ulala was just "your roommate that wanted to go to a party". that's hilarious. also i was getting fucking desperate for women that didn't suck ass as i stated above

apollo (ace attorney): 2 submissions, personal bias, descriptions swayed me. yall the submissions for him were so fucking funny. he's just a lawyer. he just wants to do his job but he lives in the ace attorney universe so everything is fucked all the time. he would've been a normal lawyer if he hadn't met phoenix wright. he's just chillin.

ok now here's every other character

sasha james (tma): 1 submission, friend bias, good description. i asked r if i should put her in because they know tma and they said yes. submission described her as loving to organize and avoided many monsters by being just some guy.

reigen arataka (mp100): 2 submissions. i thought it'd be funny and i was right. he is also just a normal man pretending he's not and he refuses to give up the bit he 100% deserves to be here

joy (underworld office): 1 submission, friend bias. the mc is going through wild ghost related problems and she's just going . hey man. you good??? r's sister submitted her and im not letting her down dude she's awesome

junpei (zero escape): 3 submissions, personal bias. he is literally the only character who has no connection to the larger mystery he's just there because he loves 1 girl. he's PAINFULLY and VITALLY just a dude. i need him

horse (centaurworld): 1 submission. i thought it'd be really funny to include just a horse. her name is horse. thats fucking awesome dude

phone guy (fnaf): 2 submissions. he was the only character from fnaf that got more than 1 submission and there were like 9 fnaf submissions i kinda felt bad tbh. he was also the best example of just some guy out of all the fnaf submissions

gordon freeman (hlvrai): 1 submission. he is a guy playing a video game. he is the straight man to the rest of the crews antics and by god he plays his role well

joshua gillespie (tma): 4 submissions, friend bias, hilarious descriptions. he avoids getting killed because he's so good at following instructions despite him clearly supposed to be dying here. they said don't open the coffin so he didn't. simply don't tuesday

namari (dungeon meshi): 1 submission, personal bias. i like her c: she's pretty level headed compared to like. everyone else in laios's crew. she seems like somebody i could just be friends with and hang out with

shez (fire emblem): 3 submissions, hilarious descriptions. i might try getting into fire emblem because of this. ok so they got murdered in a previous game off screen and now they're the playable character of a new game in a new timeline and they're fucking everything up because they're just supposed to be some guy? thats so fucking funny holy shit i want to know more

henry stickmin (henry stickmin): 1 submission. henry stickmin. like idk i dont feel like i gotta explain this one he's a stickman

stanley (tsp): guaranteed entry

whole (chonny jash): 1 submission, friend bias. tbh i saw him and went oh fuck yeah thats the thing my friends like and then i put him in there. i dont actually know enough about chonny jash to say anything on this but i fully trust the submitter knew what they were doing

larry (pokemon): guaranteed entry

luke carder (inscryption): 1 submission, friend bias, good description. he is just a normal youtuber in the lore of the game. he fucking love card game. good for him man good for him

leorio (hxh): 3 submissions, friend bias, good descriptions. idk a lot about hxh but the descriptions of him compared to the other main characters was pretty convincing

barry the quokka (sonic): guaranteed entry

april o'neil (tmnt): 1 submission, friend bias. absolutely normal girl that just happens to be the one that found the turtles and become their friend

tsuzuru (a3!): 3 submissions, friend bias. descriptions definitely made him feel like a good fit. he's so good at being just some guy i actually thought he was a different character and was shocked when i went to grab images for the tourney and he wasnt the guy i thought he was. which is really funny. like who the fuck is he then. this didn't change my opinion or anything it was just so good

matt (woe.begone): 1 submission. woe.begone fans have ALWAYS been kind to me so they got some mod bias sprinkled in. i dont know what this guys deal is but in the dbtn tourney the guy who got in there had a giant fucking list of things that are happening to him all the time and apparently thats just what woe.begone is like so i believe it when told matt is normal in comparison. everything else is so batshit wild I Just Believe You

gilear (fantasy high): 2 submissions. he seems to be just a dad. wasn't going to get in at first tbh just for personal reasons but i was running out of characters that i felt actually fit the tournament well so ultimately he got in

emmet (lego movie): 4 submissions. honestly with the number of submissions we got, 4 submissions was basically a guaranteed entry. and emmet's whole story is about being just some guy

stahl (fire emblem): 1 submission, hilarious description. fire emblem fans are so funny. what do you mean he can only be perfectly average because everyone else improves/gets worse with him to keep him perfectly average. what the fuck. thats so good

doug (wolf359): 2 entries. i dont know jack shit about wolf359 and honestly the submissions didn't tell me a lot but it was enough to figure he qualifies and i was running out of characters that felt good for the tourney. i trust you wolf359 fans

jack townsend (tales from the gas station): 1 submission, good description. he works at an evil gas station and the description gave me no follow up on what an evil gas station is which is awesome. apparently the horrors are constantly happening and he's just kinda staring at them. he's not paid enough for this

frisk (undertale): guaranteed entry

brian pasternack (yuppie psycho): 1 submission. im gonna be super honest with you here. i dont remember. i know he qualifies but i have 0 thoughts about him. maybe thats a good thing in this tourney. he's an average office worker who has now been tasked with killing The Witch.

trevor (american arcadia): 4 submissions, personal bias, good descriptions. dude i fucking love american arcadia it's so fucking good what a nightmare. he's so normal they were going to kill him for not being entertaining enough

Hot takes Haikyuu characters would have

These r silly ones that arnt too deep. I just think these r some "hot takes" these boys would have that would turn into hour long convos.

"If people diet shame you, like if u eat meat or r a vegetarian, r the biggest assholes. If I see one of u in the wild I'm going to throw baby carrots at you!!Let people eat what they wanna fuck wad!"

- Bokuto, Karoo, Daichi (this man will go into the "what do u want for people to do have an eating issuer??!!" part of it) Yamaguchi, Tendou, Tanaka (hello gym owner, personal trainer, man would go HARD)

"Y does anyone care about body count? Like y would it matter how many people someone has slept with before you?? It gets concerning only if it's like 15 20+ in a month bc.. like r u ok? Or like STD reasons but like ur an adult chances r uve has sex with more then one person. ALSO if ur keeping count of the number of people u've slept with and it's more then 10 y r u keeping count....that is such a frat boy hoe move"

- Ushijima, Akaashi, Tsukishima, Tanaka, Kuroo, Kiyoko, Saeko, kageyama, Meian, Atsumu (haikyuus resident fanon slut) Suna

“Why can't woman have hobbies without getting shit for it? Like if she likes sports she's a pick me, if she likes kpop she's weird, if she likes gaming she's just doing it for guys but if it's sims or animal crossing she's a fake gamer, matter of fact y can't they like certain artist without men quizzing them like they gotta know every fuckin detail about them?! Y do we as men think we gotta only have stuff and anyone else who likes it is fake??"

- Kenma, Suna, Tanaka (hes for the girls 💅🏻) Henita (protective older brother mode) Akaashi, Kiyoko, Yachi, Saeko (this will turn into a 45 min rant)

“Rich out of touch people need to stay in their own lane. Don’t try to act like ur “just a regular average Joe.” Their is nothing wrong with being famous or rich but it isn’t a relatable for an average middle class person and it just comes off as fake or patronizing.” 

- Kenma (I feel like bc he is an influencer he has this opinion strongly) Kuroo, Meian, Atsumu, Osamu, Tanaka (again bc I feel like he gets his fair share of athletes) Iwaizumi, Kageyama, Hinata (i feel like he doesn’t take any of the success he has for granted) 

“A man recognizing that another man is handsome shouldn’t be automatically considered them to possibly be gay. Why is it that if a man is comfortable in their sexuality it is seen as something praisable? Like if a woman do it it’s normal but if a man does it everyone is assuming they r gay. Like no we can be comfortable enough in our sexuality to be able to show this. Like it’s seen as not masculine and that is just silly. I can’t show emotion beside happiness or rage without being considered “feminine” ?? How dumb.”

- Atsumu, Bokuto, Kuroo, (i feel like both get passionate about this, because people questioned their sexuality/relationship in high school)  yamaguchi, Hinata, Nishinoya, Asahi, Kenma

Let me know if I should do a part 2 bc I could keep going but I literally almost ran out of hashtag room lol

GOOD GOLLy I NEVER SAID ANYTHING

busy rn so now art but

HAPPY LATE CCCC DAY !!!!!!

on may 2nd the Chonny’s Charming Chaos Compendium album came out!!! happy birthday heart mind and soil we love u sm 💜💙❤️‼️‼️‼️

for context (finally), chonny covered 47 tally hall-related songs and made a narrative out of them featuring the personified concepts of the Heart, Mind, and Soul! Whole (chonny, the guy himself…ish??) was dumped by a girl then split into three (literally, metaphorically, smthn else?? maybe the hms are physical, maybe hes in a coma and fighting with himself, maybe it’s just inner demon stuff as he writes songs. prolly the last one). then they fight and heart shoots mind then soul blinds heart bc theyre supposed to stick together and then they do other stuff and make up and get mad���thing stuff!! angst and goober potential!! SO. MUCH. ANGST. GIVE THE MEN SOME ROOM TO B r e a T H e gosh dangit. they do have literal designs bc chonny cosplays in the music videos, but lots of people make their own designs. heart has wings oftentimes, mind is a partial robot, and soul has a trident + sometimes half-n-half stuff. but stuff can switch up!! me and a friend rainworld-ified the four 👀✨. CCCC is such a wild ride pls listen to it if you’re interested. it’s kinda aggressive so i can understand if some peeps don’t like it, but i’ve been consumed by the narrative and stuff. its very full and often loud but that’s expressive music babeeyy. an album of song covers but its basically a remix!!!! yum🍜

this album changed my life for the better. thank you mr jash we love u sm <333 hopefully ur having a good time and taking a good break after the power hours. wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo forever!! /ref

let’s hear it for the evil fabloo album everyone🎉🎉🥳🙏✨✨ happy birday cccc!

#HAPPY BIRTHDAY CCCC #HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEART MIND AND SOIL #soul. i meant soil #imEAnt sOL?? sUL. soUl…i meant soul /silly #chonnys charming chaos compendium #chonny jash #im late to the party #sorry this is the first post i post after distant-frontier-simp follows me XD #i could say this album has TAKEN us FOR A RIDE!!! FAR AWAY FROM YOUU!! NO LONGER LEFT INSIDEEE!!! #cough #ok back to work lmao #to the fans: what’s YOUR favorite song from the album?

Also, if you can relate—I’m sorry darling. ❤️

It was a gorgeous day, the kind that reflects how the weather should always be as the world was caught in between Summer and Fall. Winds were strong, and held a chill to them, helping to relieve the heat of the lingering sun. Leaves—both dead and alive fell at your feet while you walked through central park to clear your mind, grateful it was relatively empty as today of all days had always been hard for you.

————

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear mama... Happy Birthday to you." You sang loudly, eyes shining bright as you waited for her queue.

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear mama... Happy Birthday to you." You sang loudly, eyes shining bright as you waited for her queue.

"Baby girl, help mama out with the candles, yeah?"

You climbed into her lap, a tight fit as the foot of your infant brother dug deep into your side.

"Mama, did you make your wish yet?"

"Yes I did baby, but I have to say I have my wildest dreams come true sat upon my lap."

You giggled cheerily, placing a wet kiss to her cheek to which she reciprocated with one to your temple, as the moment settled your gaze then fell back to the small cake on the table, counting down from three before you worked together to blow them out

"Mama, how do you stay 21 every year?" You innocently mumble over the end of the number two candle, your mom's chuckles not really making sense to you but you give her a big toothy smile in response to being able to make her laugh.

"I'm immortal honey..."

"What's that mean?"

She just chuckled at your innocence again, finger swiftly dipping into the icing before she was settling it atop your nose as a distraction.

"Mama..." You whine, then before you could clean it the babies open mouth was over the mess, slobber suddenly taking the icings place.

"Joey no..." You whine even louder, squirming away from him just for him to clap at the new sensational flavors gracing his tastebuds.

"Oh honey, I'm so sorry... You can have the biggest piece, it'll make it all better.." She sympathetically offered, holding back the laugh that would only serve to further your sour mood if she were to allow it to tumble out.

"Deal."

•~~~~~~~~~~~~•—•~~~~~~~~~~~~•

It was her birthday, and every year without fail you'd lit a cupcake for her, and blew the candle out, the same childish wish upon your lips:

"Please, come back to us mama..."

—

Not even a week later are you considering paying the woman that gave you life a visit do you receive an unexpected phone call from your baby brother. You're not big on phone calls, but your brother never called so you knew it was likely to be important.

Still, you let it go straight to voicemail while you let your brain run wild with the possibilities.

An hour later while happily watching your Sokovian girlfriend cooking lunch for you and Natasha does your phone ring off again, but this time before you could stop her your Russian girlfriend naturally lifts it up to answer it—as you all tended to do for one another.

"Hey Joseph, is everything okay?""

Well that's not a good sign...

Natasha's face drops, phone slowly sliding from her ear as she turns to look to you with the most sympathetic eyes you'd ever seen, implications obvious as you sigh.

"Detka, I'm so sorry..."

"It's fine." You conclude, taking the phone from her hand and exiting the room to find a more private place to speak to him, leaving your lover's absolutely stunned by your nonchalant behavior.

They've literally watched you cry over a dog tripping over some uneven cement while out on his walk, so for such an unaffected, brief reaction to that of your mother's death was shocking to say the least.

—

Fortunately for your mother Wanda was more than sad enough for you, which was more than you could feel for yourself. The witch was drowning you in baked goods, delicate kisses, and whispered apologies—for what, you're not even sure. Whereas Natasha's approach was almost worse, she was just hovering, waiting around every corner for you, as if she was expecting you to break down so she could hold you close while you 'finally let it all out.'

Appreciate their love as you do, their constant need to be there for you over a loss that was clearly insignificant in your eyes was angering. They were clearly projecting here, trying to mourn for you without a second thought to your actual feelings, without the slightest bit of consideration to the failed relationship between a mother and her whipping post of a daughter and how that all might play into the entire grieving process.

•~~~~~~~~~~~~•—•~~~~~~~~~~~~•

Not long before your tenth birthday did you truly understand everything had changed. Your mom didn't even acknowledge you'd made it to the double digits today, let alone did she have anything planned for you.

She'd been really down in the dumps as of late, her face noticeably sunken in, and most of her nights were spent out on the town ever since everything had come crashing down for her. Your grandpa Will had died a little over a year ago, and it hurt but the pain had been manageable—she was fine. Then eight months later went your grandma Rachel, who died peacefully in her sleep after her long battle with cancer, and that one hurt a bit worse.

Then as if all her grieving over the dead wasn't enough she'd been forced to deal with your father. The man who'd never been good to her to begin with was here to make life a living hell. Baseless threats thrown her way about taking the kids, and moving across the state until he got what he wanted from her. Sex and money that he'd go gamble away, leaving her be until he'd needed another fix, and never even acknowledging the two of you kids while he was there berating her.

Every painful instance stacked up until it succeeded in fracturing her predestined mind, pieces breaking off into unimaginable places; she was lost and was never to be found again.

"I'm going out, don't wait up, and please make sure Joe gets a bath tonight, he stinks."

Her harsh treatment was such a stark contrast to your normal interactions, but after a month of it you'd fell right in line with her.

"Jo-Jo, it's bath time!!!"

The six year old came running to you from the backyard, and just as expected he was covered in dirt from head to toe.

"No mama?" He asked with the answer preset in his mind, silently heading to the bathroom he looks back to see if your following.

"Nope buddy, no mama."

"It's okay, we can watch your favorite movie and eat some little debbies for your birthday Y/N/N, I promise it'll still be so fun!"

"Oh Jo-Jo, you're simply the best little brother ever.." You praise the little boy, eternally grateful to him for being a total sweetheart, especially now that you're undoubtedly alone in this misery.

•~~~~~~~~~~~~•—•~~~~~~~~~~~~•

Joe never had to hate your mom the way you eventually did, because when she was at her best she'd doted upon the boy, and when she was at her worst you shielded him very well from the mess that was her meltdowns. On the weekends you knew she'd wind up spiraling you'd have sent him off to a sleepover at his best friends Bryan's.

Then you'd prepare the house for her, hiding all of the sharp items, and sitting down to watch your favorite show, enjoying the calm before the storm that was your mother.

•~~~~~~~~~~~~•—•~~~~~~~~~~~~•

"Have a good weekend Jo-Jo, call me if you need anything..."

"I will! Maybe you can come play with us if you're not busy."

"I'll try buddy, but if I can't I'll make it up to you." You promised before saying a final goodbye and hanging up the phone.

The Powerpuff Girls reruns were on repeat on the box TV, so you got comfy with a bowl of stale popcorn and a cup of crystal light to watch the glorious distraction. Even though it was already 10pm you'd hoped she'd just stay out a bit longer, and to your bitter delight she never even came home.

Come 9am the following morning though the door swung open, startling your body up off the couch as your mom came tumbling in with tattered clothes, and bruises all over her body. Through blurred eyes you took in her messy appearance, and just by perceiving her you'd apparently pissed her off.

"What are you looking at you ungrateful brat?! Go make yourself useful and run me a fucking bath!"

You'd done what she said without a fight, getting it perfectly tempered, and then you helped her to undress and guided her into the tub before leaving her to handle the rest.

You'd went out to clean up the mess she made when entering the house, collecting her scattered belongings to return to their designated zones, then you fixed her a sandwich just in time for her to call you.

You entered the bathroom with the clothes you picked out for her, then you helped her out of the tub and made sure she could get dressed on her own before leaving again.

Every time she came home like this it would be truly terrifying, because one day your actions were appreciated, other days you were a 'rotten bitch' or 'poor excuse for a daughter' and so many other things that you'd learned to block out over time.

Without fail though, as the weekend came to an end you'd have her nearly under control. Exhausted from the catastrophic highs to the dangerous lows you'd convince her to lay down, and you'd covered her with the large duvet, settling a kiss to her forehead all the while she'd be muttering empty apologies.

"Baby girl, I'm sorry..."

...

"You know I love you so much right? You love mama too right? I'm sorry my mind just gets away from me sometimes honey..."

...

"I promise I'll do better..."

You'd reassure her until her cheeks had dried, eyes firmly closed, and then you'd set off with a smile plastered on your face as you walked a couple blocks away to pick up your actual ray of light.

•~~~~~~~~~~~~•—•~~~~~~~~~~~~•

His mom's expression always told you she'd known more than she was meant to whenever you'd drop him off or pick him up, but even if she suspected something she herself did nothing but to offer you a soft smile or warm meal on occasion.

—

Joe was expecting you to meet him at your childhood home tomorrow, belongings were to be sorted, and her property was to be sold off the night before the funeral proceedings. Unfortunately most of the profit would be going towards the many debts the woman had surmounted throughout her unfavorable late life, but the rest was meant to be split between the both of you.

For many differing reasons though you'd planned to give all the money to your brother; he could obviously benefit from it more, since he had kids of his own and lived a normal life. You clearly didn't hurt for anything living in the compound with your lovers and off of the Avenger's initiative funds. Honestly though, and more importantly you'd refused to let your mother have such a hold over you in her death.

To cross over thinking that she could possibly take care of you in the process was absolutely absurd, you wouldn't—no—you couldn't give her that satisfaction. Not when all you had ever needed from her was a warm hug, and a kiss goodnight, not guilt money thrown your direction over a decade too late.

Currently though you'd been working out in the gym, blowing off some steam associated with the strange anxiety that came with you returning to that house. Fortunately your girlfriends had been in a meeting that you were 'relieved' of for your 'bereavement' which had only spurred your punches on even more.

Truly it was best that you were alone...

Your wrapped fists made repeated contact with the punching bag, muscles aching, damn near pleading for you to stop, but you really couldn't bring yourself to stop raging. Your soundproof headphones had made you none the wiser to the entirety of the team entering the gym for a bit of communal training. Natasha and Wanda picked up on the anger radiating off of you rather quickly though, and it did nothing to stop their worrying.

With a rather hard punch followed quickly by a roundhouse kick you'd managed to knock the bag across the room. Your screams startled everyone as your body spun around as the kick brought you full circle. To your immediate displeasure the team was stood there staring at you with different levels of shock on their face. Your face remained neutral, casually you'd strolled over to your bag to get your water, removing the headphones you settled them around your neck and waited for someone to make a comment.

"Damnit Y/L/N, there's no need to take to breaking my property, I already have Captain Dipshit and the Angry Green Giant over here for that..." Tony teases, and normally you'd find it funny, you would've even met him with a  genuine laugh, but in this moment it's all the inspiration you needed to lose it.

"Do you ever fucking shut up Tony? I mean really, I'm pretty sure everyone here could benefit from a day where you're just not here. Imagine the fucking peace, and all that we could get done if I just shoved my fist down your throat..."

Tony stands firm in his spot, neutral face never wavering as you lost it on him, all he'd wanted to do was smirk at your warranted response. He'd done it on purpose, you needed to let it out, to grieve how you needed to, not how everyone else seemed to think was best for you.

"Detka, that's more than enough!"

"No, please do keep going Y/N, it's not like I'm the one who pays your bills or anything." Tony deadpans, and hopes that you will continue, because nothing you say even remotely offends him, and he just wants to help you.

"Knock it off, both of you!" Cap firmly interjects

"Fuck you Stark! Actually, fuck all of you..." You huff, lifting your bag up over your shoulder before slamming the doors open with purpose, and rushing off to your joint room to take a shower in the hopes of avoiding the women hot on your tail, as well as to calm yourself down if that was at all possible.

—

Not even a second after exiting the bathroom door do you see your girlfriends sat on your shared bed, you just walk passed them on your way to the closet to find a change of clothes.

"Dorogoy, we get that you're sad, but you can't just blow up on whoever you want."

Both women are taken back by your sudden laughter, your back still facing them until you're quickly spinning around to face them.

"That's the thing Nat, I'm not sad—I'm free; that woman that died wasn't my mother, my mom died along time ago, that was just the vessel that once held her, and now she's no longer tied to that corrupted mindless body."

"Detka, you can't mean that, she gave you life, she's the reason you are where you are now, without her we wouldn't have you. How are you not sad? I never even got to meet her, to thank her for you..."

Wanda and Natasha flinch back as a glass makes contact with the wall to the right of them, and your furious face meets their unbearably sympathetic ones.

Their obvious pity just pisses you off beyond measurable reason.

"No, Wanda, I meant exactly that! Neither of you seem to grasp that I'm not sad here, in-fact I'm actually beyond fucking furious! That woman was not a mother, not the kind that counted anyways; she was a selfish bitch who never cared about me a day in her life so why the fuck would I mourn her?"

Saying the words aloud didn't fix the pain in your heart though, because no matter how much you willed the words to be true you knew they weren't.

"Do you know how many nights I had to play the actual role of mother? Had to help my brother with his homework, make dinner from the sparing ingredients left behind in the kitchen, and keep him well taken care of.."

Your voice had quivered, an obvious vulnerability in your tone as your heart gets cracked back open at the mention of your sacrificed youth for your precious brother...

"I was ten years old when I became a mother, I was only fucking ten when my brother cried out for his mama and I couldn't even cry out myself because there was no one there to hold me while I did."

The anger rolled right back through you though as you remember what the women before you are trying to say in such little words. As if you're meant to feel anymore sympathy for the woman who made every wrong choice possible, that abundant well had run dry long ago.

"You will never know what it's like to have a mother that despised you for looking too much like the father she herself took back every time. To know that no matter what you did it would never be enough for her, that you somehow weren't enough to bring about the inspiration she needed to stay medicated, to remain the mother you needed."

Natasha took your words a bit too hard, because in your blinded rage you failed to think about how she never even had that chance at all. Natasha was pissed, and Wanda was sad. Wanda was also thinking back to her youth, because much like you her time with her caring parents was cut short, but where your story changed overnight hers just abruptly ended. None of you here were free of a stolen childhood, but it would be a bit misguided to say your struggles were remotely relatable.

"Now I'm just expected to speak at her funeral, and to sing her praises to the room full of family members that turned a blind eye to it all. So no, I'm not sad at all..."

"... Because that person you are trying to force me to mourn wasn't my mother, but because of a promise I made to the woman that once was I'm going off to handle her death proceedings."

•~~~~~~~~~~~~•—•~~~~~~~~~~~~•

"Baby girl, come here!!" Your mom shouts, and you leave your little brother in charge of the sandcastle as you run over to the umbrella of shade she'd been settled under.

"Yes mama?"

"Time to reapply your sunscreen little one, turn around for me please."

Your mom was rubbing the thick cream into your exposed back while you fidgeted in place, tiny feet tapping along to the sounds of the crashing waves, while you kept a close eye on your brother's progress on the castle.

"Y/N/N... Can I ask you to do something for me my oh so very big girl?"

"Anything you need mama..."

"If anything ever happens to me I need you to be very strong okay, take care of your brother, and when my body goes, most likely long after my mind bring me back to this beach, and sprinkle my ashes under our special cove while dancing around to our song. I promise you I'll be there to hug you before I finally leave you behind for good."

"You're silly, nothings going to happen..."

"Baby, please, just promise me..."

"Of course, I promise mama..."

She smiles endearingly at your raised pinky, doing her best to mask her sad eyes as she links hers to yours to then seal it with a kiss.

"Now can I go build my castle? Joe is kinda ruining the moat..."

"Yeah, and send him over here next." She laughs out at your carefree nature, heart breaking for what's to become of you since she already felt something unsettling deep within.

This pit of utter despair and darkness had all but settled within her, lying in wait for the perfect moment to strike on the prey that was her mind, and she'd honestly had no motivation to tackle it. Your smiling faces apparently not enough a reason to hold back the brewing storm.

•~~~~~~~~~~~~•—•~~~~~~~~~~~~•

Your duffle was securely over your shoulder as you shouldered passed your bewildered girlfriend's, both apparently on the verge of tears as they found themselves speechless, their own bitter losses working to the front of their minds, effectively shattering their already aching hearts, and leaving them to digest your intense traumas within the same beat.

Natasha was the first to reenter the common room, sadness over her feelings toward her own lack of a mother boiling over into equally misplaced anger towards you.

"Sestra, what's with the face?"

"Y/N's being a selfish fucking brat."

Tony inappropriately snorts, which just further upsets the former assassin, and she's quick to attack him—much like a hypocrite—as Wanda's teary eyed face enters the room.

"What's so funny Stark?"

"It's just, you and witchy here have been trying to force the poor girl into tears, treating her like the way she feels is bad or that her process of grieving is wrong. Sure you've all lost a mom, but neither of you had a purposefully absent parent that was simultaneously still there right in front of you. Take it from me—the guy who indeed did have a presently absent parent, and hear me when I say Y/N's exactly where I'd expect her to be."

"Where's that exactly?" Wanda asks, clearly just trying to understand you, having not been nearly as angry as the former widow was.

"Full of unsurmountable rage fueled entirely by her valid childhood resentments, and deep down by the hurt that comes with never getting to move past them with her mother. She's going to be angry, and she's going to snap, and everyone needs to give her the space for that."

Tony paused for effect, trying to speak to the whole room, then as he goes to continue on he's narrowing his focus to your lovers.

"You two really need to take a step back here, stop trying to fix the poor girl because your idea of proper grieving can be found in a psychology book, and instead just be there for her, because when she does finally fall she's going to need you both, and if you continue to push you might not be able to get her back."

Tony berated them with a passion he's rarely used when it came to you, an over protective brother mode was activated within him when he'd learned more of your upbringing. He'd never compare his trauma to yours, knowing good and well he at least still had his mother, and the security that his dads wealth brought. However he understands you in a way no one else here does, and feels it's his job to set the women who held your guarded heart straight.

"Wow—What he said. I've never seen you be so smart before, you did a good job here old man." Yelena jests, pats the man on his back, then leaves the room in order to escape the deep feelings festival.

"Think about what I said, because it's a short time before she'll need you."

Natasha resented the fact that Tony actually had something worth saying, not entirely over her own big feelings, but she's also aware that she had her chance at closure with her story, she now sees that this is yours, and it's only fair you get to take it.

"Pack a bag Wands, we'll give her the night, but tomorrow we show up for her..."

"Yeah, the same way she always does for us..."

—

The hour drive to the outer limits of the city was familiarly daunting, hands reflexively tightened around the steering wheel the closer you'd gotten to the house that was never much of a home, it'd been over five years since you had last set foot within the doors, and for good reason too.

•~~~~~~~~~~~~•—•~~~~~~~~~~~~•

You had just been welcomed into the Avengers Initiative, and even after everything you'd experienced with her all you wanted was to tell your mom, and that's exactly what you were going to do when you knocked on her door excitedly. 

Instead of your mother though a sleazy older man opened the door, the harsh stench of bourbon wafted to your nostrils immediately, and you were already beyond nauseated. Then the man's eyes shamelessly roamed over your body, as if his nearly nude state didn't allude to what had been taking place with your mother.

The whole situation had you already on the verge of vomiting, so when you heard your mother's perturbed tone you knew this was a bad idea, but he caught your arm before you could retreat, and it was too late when she walked up to break free.

"Where are you going honey? Don't you want to join in on the fun?"

"Y/N? What the hell are you doing here?"

"Well mom, I had good news, and wanted to share it with you..."

"You have until this cigarette is gone to speak."

Like a moth to a flame you settled for the offer, but as soon as you went to speak she blew the smoke directly into your face, then began to loudly laugh at your pained state.

"Better make it quicker than that honey." She says, laughing even harder as you continue to choke on the obnoxious smoke that burns your lungs.

"I-I, I'm an Avenger now."

"Yeah, and I actually give a shit, if that's all then you should be on your way. A fucking Avenger and you can't even handle a little smoke, how incredibly pathetic."

"But Chris, why not have her join us?"

"Because Lamar, she's a 'gay', and even if she wasn't she wouldn't be worth your time, she's always been useless." Your mom bitterly relays,  jealousy obvious.

"No, I'm not joining because you two are already a pathetic match made in heaven." You stick up for yourself, a sense of pride filling your heart at your show of strength.

Your head was harshly thrown to the right, sharp nails then dig into your chin to bring you back to face her.

"Listen up you ungrateful bitch, I would never have treated my mother like this, so you better learn how to show me the damn respect I've earned or you can get the fuck out of my life..."

"Let me go and I will..." You growl back, this newfound confidence finally helping you to stand up to your mother.

The pained expression your met with has you feeling guilty, stuttering you move to take it back, but then you are violently shoved out of the doorway to receive a door slammed into your face. It flies back open instantly and the only photo frame of just you to have ever adorned her walls was thrown at your face.

"Go to hell you blasphemous bitch! God said to respect thy mother, I promise he's going to get you for this! You're no daughter of mine."

The corner of the frame had scratched your cheek, while the main impact had sent you back to the compound with a busted lip, and as you laid down that night, ignoring the constant ringing of your phone, it was then that you'd made the decision that it was time to put you first.

•~~~~~~~~~~~~•—•~~~~~~~~~~~~•

You steady yourself before making your way inside to see your baby brother with a bottle of scotch in hand, and a quirked brow in your direction.

"Cheers to us big sis, I liken us to Saints because God knows no one else would've done this for her." He greets, and you find yourself chuckling for the first time in days...

—

The suit you were wearing was stuffy, leaving you in a nasty state in which you were sweating bullets, far more than you ever do when out on missions, and your speech was crumpling in your anxious hands as you found yourself second guessing it all.

"God, we thank you for the life that you give us. It is full of work and of responsibility, of sorrow and joy. Today we thank you for Chris, for what she has given and received. Help us in our mourning and teach us to live for the living in the time that is still left to us."

That was your queue, and as you approached the podium you stuffed your speech into your pocket, the bright light hitting your eyes had you squinting while you stood there in silence. The crowd before you was honestly comical, besides your brother and his brood in the first pew you'd hardly recognized the rest of them.

Having not seen most of them since your teen years you notice that they've definitely aged, and it sure as hell wasn't gracefully, and as you went to speak your breath was caught at the sight of your redheads hiding in the shadows. After how you treated them yesterday you'd expected them to be avoiding you, but there they stood, and something about them being there gave you the strength you needed to be brutally honest.

"Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.—Mathew 5:4. If anyone here knew me you'd know I'm not really religious, never read the bible—only ever had it thrown at me."

Your brother smirks up at you, happy to see you've settled on the second speech you discussed together in your drunken stupor.

"However, none of you old bats know me now do you? I hadn't heard from any of you in years until my status as Avenger had been made public. No, Uncle Henry—before you ask, I didn't get your cards signed by Cap, well actually let me not lie in a church, I did, but I donated them to a charity auction..." You watch as your uncles previously neutral expression turns devastated and you fight the eye roll as he's meant to be mourning his sister right now, not his trading cards.

"Oh silly me, let me refocus on the woman of the hour, yeah? My mother, my dearest mother, or should I say mommy dearest? Goodness that woman was a riot wasn't she?Like on the nights when she'd come stumbling in drunk after many nights away, leaving Jo-Jo and I here to fend for ourselves for a few days."

You smirked joyously at the way the crowd moved uncomfortably in their seats.

"But wait, there's more, how about when she left us at the family events where the entirety of you chose to ignore us, and were consistently enabling her to keep being that oh so fun loving mother... Being left to my own devices put me in an interesting predicament actually, I'd been so invisible to all of you that you never realized your words were louder than a whisper."

The room was tense, everyone waited on bated breath for where you were headed, a few sighs fell—prematurely mind you—as you picked out your first set of victims.

"Like Uncle Henry, not to keep picking on you specifically, but did you ever tell Susan that you knew?... Judging by the way you look like you've seen a ghost I'll take a wild guess and assume that's a no... Oh Susie poo, you don't look so well either." You mercilessly taunt the failing couple, choking back your laughter at the sight of the crocodile tears in her eyes.

"How rude of me, I'm sure you're all wondering what it is I'm on about huh? Well, see Henry here got a secret vasectomy back in '99 to test his wife's loyalty because Lord knew she was certainly fertile. So when Susan announced her fifth pregnancy in '02 I'd began to believe in miracles... Then when she gave birth I knew they were real because the baby was spared the familial nose..."

"Hey! Get the hell off that podium, you're a disgrace to this nation, and also this family.." Uncle Phil shouts, and your face lights up at his interruption which leaves the old bag feeling unsettled as he saw the glint in your eyes.

"Oh my gosh, do you guys hear that? Don't you worry Uncle Phil, I didn't forget about you..."

You pressed a button on your phone to play out a faux ringtone, then with enthusiasm you picked it up, and shared a whispered conversation with yourself.

"Congratulations seem to be in order everyone! Maury just called, and it turns out you are in fact the father of a twenty year old boy who's been lied to all his life! Honey, get used to it, this family is full of nothing else."

"You stupid bitch, you're not welcome here!"

"Mom? Sometimes it's like I can still hear your voice... It's a bit deeper this time around though, death really fucked you up huh?"

"Aunt Melissa, careful who you laugh at..." You quip, and the woman settles in her seat fast.

With quick succession you continued to list off bond breaking secrets, dodging the candelabra with ease, and to your total delight little fights began to break out all around the church. 

"Well, this has been so much fun, but it seems I must get going now. I'll make sure when I write my tell-all to send you all a copy with all the remaining secrets I'd been unable to expose."

You make direct eye contact with the pastor who'd looked as if he'd finally met his God, so you send him a wink before you dramatically flip off the stage, landing in your girlfriends go to pose in front of your giggling nieces.

"I love you..." Jo whispers in your ear as he pulls you into a tight embrace.

"I love you too Jo-Jo..."

"Are you sure you want to do this all alone?" He asks before releasing you to scoop his kids up and you help him to get them out of the church safely and into his car. 

"Yeah, I have this hunch that I'll be just fine..."

—

You'd been able to rent the beach out for only an hour, but you didn't even think you'd need all that much time to scatter her ashes anyway. Once you hiked your way over to the cove you perched the box that held what remained of her on top of a rock, the same exact one she used to sit on with you for hours on end for the first eight years of your life.

With your phone in your back pocket you'd pressed play on your playlist, queueing up your mom's song: "I Hope You Dance." As the music bounced off the walls of the enclosed rock your heart began to beat out of rhythm, and all the pain you'd successfully shoved down deep overtook the anger you'd used to mask it.

"God forbid love ever leave you empty handed. I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean, whenever one door closes I hope one more opens, promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance, and when you get the choice to sit it out or dance..."

"You always called me an emotionless bitch when you were on a roll and I wouldn't react; little did you know there was never a night spent where I didn't cry myself to sleep in that wretched house." You bitterly chuckle out, stray tears falling against your will but you pay them no mind as you scoop your gloved hand into the box of her ashes and throw a bit of her into the wind.

"On the nights when you'd be gone, and I had the house to myself I'd just scream out for you. Pleading for you to come hold me, to love me. Over time though I stopped crying out for you. I've already mourned your loss along time ago, so it feels weird for me to be here now, still giving you more than you ever gave to me, but I know now that's what you'd expected of me."

"You'd known it was coming and did nothing to stop it, you placed the responsibility on my shoulders at eight and I was none the wiser. You were just as selfish then as you were until your final breath, you just did it with a smile for awhile so I never saw the clear signs of you slipping away, not that I'd have understood."

You stop talking for a moment, reaching into your bag you pull out a shovel from your childhood, then you scooped a sizable chunk of ashes out of the box. Staring at it you planned to just let it slowly glide off into the water below, but a sudden wave of resentment hits you and you throw the filled plastic at the wall with an angered screech.

"Fuck, I fucking hate you for doing this to me! Forcing me to grow up so young, and leaving me to figure out how to navigate through life. You left me all alone; I had no one to talk to when I started my first period, and had questions. No one to process my confusing emotions with after I shared my first kiss with someone, or for when I spent years struggling with my sexuality, no one there to comfort me through my first heartbreak—which if you're wondering what that was it was watching as you became a stranger." You seethed, and with every point you made you slammed another handful of her ashes into the water, and watched through clouded eyes as she was slowly washed away, and you'd honestly take this over Fury's mandated therapy any day.

"The only thing you taught me was that nobody stays, and that pain is inevitable. I spent so many years looking for a mother's love that I allowed the worst kinds of people to hold my heart, but you need to know that you didn't break me like you thought. I'm not alone like you said I'd be, in fact I have two wonderful women who have loved me in ways I'd never thought possible. I'm finally happy, and this whole dying suddenly thing you pulled isn't going to take that away from me!"

Your flashes of anger suddenly fade, and instead your filled with this sudden, uneasy pit of despair that threatens to swallow you whole; every crack in your heart that you'd spent years filling were burst wide open at the seams.

"What I fucking hate the most though is that no matter how hard I try to stop, I can't stop loving you. You were once so good to me, before Joseph came along, and for a little while after, and my foolish, childish heart clings to those memories of the happier days..." You start out screaming, but then you settled, releasing a long breathe before going on further.

"It took me along time to forgive you mama, but I'd finally done it, I even had plans to see you soon, because believe it or not leaving you behind was truly the hardest thing I'd ever done. I felt this overwhelming guilt surge through me that night, it was so fucking painful to see the feelings of betrayal behind your gaze, and if I'm honest a bit unfair. I could see ghost reflections of you in your smile, or on the rare good days, but it just wasn't enough anymore, I had to take care of me first for once."

"I'm so sorry mama..." You repeated the phrase like a mantra, lip trembling as the gravity of this moment sinks in—she's gone, soon your entire body follows as the immense grief seeks out a means of release.

You shakily settled the nearly emptied metal box back onto the rock, doing your best to remain stood on your feet so that the shallow current doesn't have the chance to take you under, though it didn't help that you'd already felt like you were drowning as you stood there desperately gasping for air with your hands atop your thighs to steady yourself.

—

The beach was shockingly empty when Natasha and Wanda finally pulled up, your location had pinged here so now it was up to them to find you. Though you'd smiled the whole time you spoke they could see the emergence of sadness blooming beneath your masked orbs the longer you'd been up at the podium, and they knew then that you were close to breaking.

Wanda's heart was immediately drawn to your overwhelming pain so she quietly led Natasha towards the cove, where much like last night they were met with your back, but this time your body was violently trembling.

Natasha saw your knees about to buckle so she surged forward, wrapping her strong arms around you from behind and without meaning to she soaked your shirt with a surge of her own tears. You knew who it was, her scent and hold unmistakable, but with your eyes closed and the sudden breeze you'd pretended for just a moment that it was your mom keeping true to her word.

"Shh, detka... We're here, just let it out."

"Natty, it hurts... It hurts so much..."

"I know detka, but you have to feel it, or else you'll never be able to move passed this."

"You're going to be okay moya lyubov', we'll make sure of it..." Wanda coos, hand gently cupping your cheek while her fingers from the other hand tap along your temple to help to distract you.

"Wands, please, I-I don't want to feel it..."

Your hands had suddenly clutched her shirt. Wanda's heart breaks for you, but she refuses to numb your heart by shutting off your mind. Instead she wrapped her arms around your upper body, and pulled your head into her chest. Natasha stayed firmly against your back, and the both of them silently swayed you in tandem, the song you once shared with your mother continues to repeat, and the gentle melody genuinely settles all of your hearts.

"I'm sorry..." You suddenly squeaked, and both if their grasps on you tightened.

"No, don't you dare apologize, you've done nothing wrong..." Natasha mumbles lips delicately making contact with the exposed skin of your neck.

"Detka, we're the ones who need to say sorry.. We tried to rush your process without understanding where you were coming from and that wasn't fair at all..." Wanda adds, while her fingers instinctually travel beneath your shirt to trace patterns into the skin of your lower back much like she does most nights to help you get to sleep.

"It's okay, I know it's because you guys love me, and just wanted me to be okay..."

"Detka—it's not okay, love is supposed to come with understanding, and we didn't do a very good job at affording you that."

"But we're here now." Natasha firmly states, body contradicting her though as she removes her hold on you to move towards the box.

"However you need us to be." Wanda confirms, hopeful to reassure you that they understand this is your loss to process, and you are left to decide where to go from here.

Your tears had pretty much came to a stop as they held you, your nervous system having calmed with the familiarity of their loving embraces, so now as you look over Wanda's shoulder you have a clear view of Natasha who's currently hunched over, eyes level with the box and a petty smirk upon her face.

"Hello Miss Y/L/N, I'd kick your ass if I could, but I'll settle for talking to your ashes instead. Even with all the odds you had stacked against her she still turned out quite alright, I hope you didn't think that was your doing, because it most certainly wasn't. This beautiful, strong woman stood before you got here in spite of you, and your ruthless attempts to break her. The only pleasantry I will exchange with you is a grateful one, thank you for giving her to us, our world would be bleak without her smile. 'Respectfully' ma'am, I'm happy that someone like you is gone, no longer able to inflict pain. Rest in the misery in which you dished out."

Natasha flips the box off, sending you a cheeky wink as she moves over to sandwich Wanda in between the two of your bodies so that she can place kissed all over your face before locking her lips upon yours.

"Amen." Wanda concurs a bit late.

You giggle against Nat's lips, and Wanda's heart skips a beat at the sound she's pulled from you, one of the sounds they'd desperately missed for the past four days they'd been forced to live without it.

Wanda's lips were quick to take over the moment Natasha's left yours, and as your lips lazily move against hers your body naturally slumps even further against her own; signaling to her just how tired you truly are so she taps your thighs and you jump right up at the clear message.

Natasha happily dumped the rest of the ashes out as you'd tiredly requested, and Wanda held you close while swaying to the music until you fell fast asleep in her hold—finally at peace.

"We love you angel..."

"So very much..."

•~~~~~~~~~~~~•—•~~~~~~~~~~~~•

The waves came crashing down over the outer rocks of the cove, your mom was eating her half of the sandwich while you happily picked yours apart while sat atop the big rock inside. No matter how much she made it to your specific tastes you'd always decided it tasted better once it was demolished.

"Honey, don't play with your food."  She'd attempted to correct your behavior, but deep down she found the chaotic act amusing.

"Mama you silly, I not playing." You reply innocently, shoveling the thinly sliced turkey into your mouth as you do and smiling at her over the massive bite.

"Chew with your mouth closed you silly girl." Your mom just shook her head at your adorable little self, and her heart was full at the idea of you being a big sister soon.

"Otay mama."

Her eyes had been flashing between your content form and the beautiful sunset that was perfectly within view through the entrance of the rock formation. She had brought a handheld radio along that was now sitting beside you on the rock, softly playing a station dedicated to "all the goodies," and it provided a great space filler for when neither of you had much to say.

Her head turned to you at the sound of your gasp, but her heart settled fast when she saw you with your mouth agape and your finger pointed to the radio she'd for the most part tuned out at this point.

"Mama! Mama! Our song!"

"I know honey.." She mused, then within an instant your giddy form was perched atop her protruding bump.

She turned to face the sunset, a hand was securing your head against her shoulder while the other laid out flat across your lower back. Whispering along to the song she began to gently sway her bump from side to side, using the excitement of the song to trick your tired body into falling asleep.

"Goodnight sweet girl, I love you so..."

•~~~~~~~~~~~~•—•~~~~~~~~~~~~•

"I hope you dance..."

—————————————————————

"Mama... wake up..." Alana whimpers, tiny arms vigorously shaking you as best they can.

Your body reflexively flopped over, groans of disproval tumble passed your lips at the unwelcome consciousness trying to seep in.

"Please..." She pleads, voice wavering as she is nearly in tears.

The frightened sound of your daughters pleas was enough to pull you from your deep sleep, rolling back to your back you stare up at her through blurry eyes.

"Oh sweetheart, what's wrong?"

"Can I sleep with you please?"

"Of course angel, you don't even have to ask.."

She settles her body directly atop of you, and you decide against pushing her, because you know only Nat's able to get her back to her bed.

Sadly your lovers happen to be stuck at the compound after hours tonight, leaving you on your own with the housewife duties—not that you mind, it's a perfect system you've got here. Two head off to work, one stays at home, and with each week you switch off, with the last week of every month being for family time. Fury might not like it all that much, but the alternative of all of you walking was far worse for him so he had easily relented.

Tightly you secure her body to yours with strong arms, singing out a medley of her favorite lullabies, and feeling settled as her breathing slowly begins to even out, but in an act of defiance she whispers through a yawn before finally succumbing to her exhaustion.

"I love you mama, thanks for protecting me..."

"I love you too angel—I promise you that I always will, it's what a mama's meant to do."

With that the both of you drift back off to sleep, and you fall asleep smiling, because even though your lovers aren't there as you fall, at least you're not entirely alone, and you know with certainty that you never will be again.

man special interests are confusing istg cause i dont know if i have a spin or not ???? i get hyperfixations and hyperfocused for sure and i have some topics i constantly think about but i dont get the same feelings towards them that a lot of people get when they think or interact with their special interests

for example, i THINK my special interest is autism and adhd, as well as neurodivergence and mental disorders//disabilities in general because i constantly think about it and i constantly feel my skin crawling with the need to find more fun facts and read more studies and watch more videos but at the same time i dont get giddy with joy or whatever from it, just reallyreally interested and hooked for lack of better wording.

and in the past i’ve had longer hyperfixations like my obsession with dogs and dog breeds and the history of dogs when i was younger, or my intense love for harry potter (WHEN I WAS YOUNGER i now do not endorse or support the franchise at all due to the jk r*wling bullshit which is a shame because it was such a huge part of my childhood and yet i’m one of the people she hates and is a bigot towards), or even my love for greek mythology and mythology in general and rick riordan’s books. i have/had masses of knowledge of all of these, or even a little knowledge and just a big desire to think or interact with them by daydreaming or writing or researching or whatever, but i feel nothing towards the majority of them. in the end though i do think they were/are special interests after some research and finding people who are the same. so yeah !! to anyone who isnt sure whether thay have spins or not (you can still be autistic and not have special interests btw, its not unheard of or even uncommon), a special interest is literally just a thing or topic or even person you have a deep desire to interact with in some way. you don’t have to feel anything towards it !! you can even dislike or spite the special interest’s subject and still have a special interest related to it, which is wild !!

sorry, I have a lot of thoughts lmao. I think that I find it really frustrating that deep down, despite assurances to the contrary, people DO think that Family must come before everything else and if you don't secretly Love Your Family above all else, then you must be defective or broken or hiding it. And I see it so much with this fandom. Like do I think Sirius loved Regulus? Yeah. Do I think he was closer to James and the people he chose to be his family rather than the people he was blood related to and there's nothing wrong with that, particularly when they were all massive bigots in canon? Also yeah. People act like Sirius Has to Love Regulus Because He is His Brother (and he can't be closer to James because blood!! they're blood related!!! you can choose to not be close to your parents but not your bruddah!!!! found families mean just as much as blood families except wait no they don't because if I had a strained relationship with my sister I would be sad. :( idk it's just weird and not enough people in here critically examine whether or not this insistence is harmful.

ok anon im taking executive decision to publish this bc i actually think it’s such a good take.

acting like found family isn’t just as, if not more valid than blood relations is WILD, esp on the ~neurospicy queer website lmao.

i love the ‘person drops everything for their family member, regardless of any differences they had’ trope but i’m also a sucker for ‘character a makes a clean break and their family has to suffer watching them from the sidelines’ ykno? guilt tripping and yearning from a distance hit so well. but anyway. that’s irrelevant. point is: as we know them in canon? j&s were super ride or die. even w/o a hint of romance, they were ALWAYS centred around each other. james was literally bullying someone for sirius. he was the ONLY ONE HED STOP SHOWING OFF FOR. in the middle of a damn war, with his wife and child beside him, sirius was the one thought to make him feel better. like cmon man. j&s r the fkn blueprint i swear.

#sirius black #james potter #sorry i got a bit emotional there in the end lol #i think it’s actually a big part of their dynamic #that they’d be TERRIBLE partners #like isn’t it a running joke in the pf side anyway? #that their partners would hate them bc they’ll never be number one? #and i do think that’s something v specific w them you’ve to deal w if you’re being IC #and u can write it as a flaw or make it crack-y or a neutral thing #but it exists #the solution to that however ISNT removing it entirely lol #or. remove it if u want but acting like it doesn’t exist in the first place? ehhhh #eh. not rly cool. #but yeah. that’s been a rant. #thanks anon i actually rly like this lol #pen’s asks

Todays rip: 20/02/2024

Chex Invaders

Season 4 Episode 1 No Album Release (Read More) Circus (Chex Mix) - Five Nights at Freddy's

Ripped by LiterallyNoOne

Requested by Realchickenmanny! (@realchickenmanny)

So remember back when I said in Goodbye To Love that I'd be providing some sort of further explanation to the Circus rips at a later date? Uh, yeah - that later date is today, and I still...don't really know how to properly explain it.

It all feels like a giant web of in-jokes that were never quite properly explained, culminating into a channel-long mainstay to the channel. SiIvaGunner presents itself as a place for listening to edited video game music, and it certainly stuck to that for...at least its first few weeks? That blurry line would get pushed and prodded with rips of "Nintendo Direct themes", rips of fake games like Battle Theme - Zeno Blade Chronicle X, and rips that didn't contain the original track supposedly being ripped at all for a complete bait and switch - all of it leading up to the release of Rip Squad, the first Circus rip ever, on March 16th, 2016. In just 37 seconds, it manages to be extremely memorable from just how good the execution is, with the beginning music box jingle, the coy transition out of it, followed by the hilarious skrillex-like dubstep drop edited to play the Flintstones theme. Given that the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise was still enjoying meteoric success from the original four games releasing across 2014 and 2015, yet lacked much of any music to rip on SiIva, to do this sort of complete bait-and-switch was a pretty fun workaround for a one-time gag. Yeah. One time gag.

Except, with just that one rip, NBGMusic had seemingly summoned a monster - due to the Circus theme technically just being the ditty playing at the first few seconds of the rip, any remaining runtime could be dedicated to doing exactly what Rip Squad itself did - quite literally anything on the planet, related to video game music or not. Circus thus became home to every kind of rip under the sun, with the very same song being ripped again and again and again with different "mix" names for each one to at least ATTEMPT to distinguish them. Trust me, "Chex Mix", as Chex Invaders dons, is far from the most absurd mix name out there, and given their sheer variety going to the Five Nights at Freddy's playlist alone is akin to playing a ripper-based game of russian roulette.

But then, let's return to Chex Invaders then - because with the unlimited freedom that Circus rips provided, not even asking rippers to come up with fake games to loosely attach their rip jokes to, they were free to go absolutely hog wild with whatever concepts they could think of. I praised Plantasia 2 yesterday for just how well the theming of its joke and game ripped matched together, yet Circus mix embody the complete opposite side of that spectrum, and take full advantage of it. The only tie that Chex Invaders has to your expectations is the dubstep-adjacent electronic music featured in it, which many rips taking after Rip Squad also did, but it's not as if that's at all a constant for Circus rips - that rule was broken by Chaze the Chat himself just a month after the Circus rips began.

No, Chex Invaders isn't playing on any sort of emotional attachment you may have to Five Nights at Freddy's, not any sort of expectations on the part of viewers upon clicking - it simply appeared in SiIvaGunner fans' subscription boxes like a face-down card, its true intentions unknown to those who didn't click it. Those who did, however, were met with one of the few contributions to SiIvaGunner by the excellent artist LiterallyNoOne, still going strong today with 245K subscribers on YouTube. And while I'm unfamiliar with their more numerous contributions to fan channel TimmyTurnersGrandDad (as mentioned in V​-​v​-​v​-​v​-​v​-​a​-​V​-​v​-​v​-​v​-​v​-​v​-​r), Chex Invaders alone proves their talents to me in its sheer quality. The base track Space Invaders by Teminite & MDK is played with in so many creative ways, from sections of melody-swapping in and out of one another, to overlaying vocals from other songs and clips onto the song, to full-on mashups, to moments doing all three in harmony...the amount of jokes featured, especially during Season 4 Episode 1, feels almost overwhelming! From the first four years of the channel's life, there's only a few channel mainstay jokes to NOT be featured here, from Flintstones to Snow Halation to CaptainSparklez to Megalovania to Inspector Gadget, yet it all ebbs and flows in and out of one another at such a befitting pace. A calmer moment in the song will play Fireflies, a more ominous section plays 8-Bit Beast's Haunted House (see Maroon 5 more like Maroon 8 hehehehehehe), the beat drop at one point is a single "op" from Gangnam Style - for having SO many different pieces of SiIvaGunner's long history in play, for being a rip made by just one person, it all fits together shockingly well, to where I almost forget that Space Invaders is a song that exists outside of this rip!

Loud, bizarre, unexplainable, and as memorable for their contents as they are easy to forget from their titles and presentation...Circus rips on SiIvaGunner are a true enigma, and I'm really not sure if I've even listened to them all. Yet there's rarely one that's disappointed me thus far - without a source game to pull from, it feels as if a rip almost has to be inherently interesting to have even been submitted as a Circus rip to begin with. Chex Invaders most certainly isn't an example of just HOW deep the rabbithole goes with these rips - but it is an example of an absolute banger from them.

literally SUCH an immediate ick

i almost liked the tweet before i read the caption cause it’s a funny video, he’s commentating about how he always seems to be caught on video eating ha ha that’s funny very relatable 10/10

then i read the caption and thought ??? WHAT??? how r u at your big age of whatever gonna make that point of him being autistic cause he’s eating? normal person behaviour???

same w the max and lance things, just don’t speculate about people leave them be !!!! if you want to speculate and make assumptions and assign these character traits, do it in your own head or about someone fictional, not real people

Honestly even if the behaviour is not what that person would consider “normal”, they need to go outside and touch grass, and remember that they have zero qualifications to be assessing these people that they don’t know.

It’s just so wild that this is not common sense.

Such gross, juvenile behaviour. Say that shit where people can’t hear you jfc

Fate and Phantasms #307: Miss Crane

today on Fate and Phantasms, we’re building quite a bit of stuff! it’s mostly outfits, what with today’s build being Miss Crane and all, but we’ll be able to make a lot more than that by the time this build is over. don’t worry though, you won’t have to work your fingers to the bone to play this character!

Miss Crane is a funky little combination of Dreams Druid and Forge Cleric, which you wouldn’t think work together, but actually combo quite nicely, as long as you don’t try to put the armor you make on yourself. birds don’t like heavy armor, after all. This is how we’re making Miss Crane more directly helpful to the party. Making clothes is nice- and we will be good at making them- but looking spiffy doesn’t help much in combat.

Check out her build breakdown below the cut, or her character sheet over here!

Next up: Tiger, Fire, Cyber, Fiber, Diver, Viber, Jyaa jyaa!

Race and Background

There is technically a crane-headed bird race from Plane Shift Amonkhet, but it’s easier for us to become a crane as a Human than it is to become a human as a crane, so that’s where we’re starting off. (she also seems to stay as a human most of the time in Chaldea, for reasons I’m sure are 100% not related to waifuism)

As a Variant Human, she gains +1 Constitution and Wisdom, as well as a skill and feat of your choice. She is a part of Nature, so that is a no-brainer, but if we want to get weaving right away we’ll need to get clever. Because we are starting as a human, Miss Crane has access to the Prodigy feat, letting her pick up some more proficiencies- a skill (Acrobatics), a tool (Weaver’s) and a language (your choice). You also get one use of Expertise, which will double your proficiency bonus when it comes to weaver’s tools.

but what exactly do weaver’s tools do? if we check Xanathar’s Guide to Everything, they give us some tips. you can add your weaver’s proficiency to Arcana or History checks when examining the make of clothes or other fabric-based items, it’s easier to spot clues in woven tapestries and the like when you’re using Investigation, and of course you can make and repair clothes, the latter taking a short rest, and the former taking… a long rest. so you can now make an outfit overnight. welp, good job everyone! build over, let’s pack it up!

fine, we’ll get to the levels and such.

One last thing- as a wild animal, Miss Crane is an Outlander, giving her proficiency with Athletics and Survival checks!

Ability Scores

Miss Crane’s Wisdom should be as high as possible. I’m not sure exactly what skill check counts for weaving, but being able to see your loom will help immensely. Of course, if it’s not wisdom it’s probably Dexterity. Weaving with wings is almost certainly difficult to do. Next, grab some Constitution. You pull all-nighters regularly, and most of your skills involve taking damage in some way. Fourth up is Charisma. Does making someone think you’re a human count as a deception check? Your Intelligence isn’t particularly great, what with you being a literal wild animal. Finally, we’re dumping Strength- hollow bones, and all that.

Class Levels

1. Druid 1: at first level, druids can read and write druidic! …it’s a language! you can also cast Spells, using your Wisdom to cast and prepare them. Because you can choose your spells each long rest, picking specific ones is less of an issue, but we’ll still bring up any that are particularly useful here.

For your cantrips, Create Bonfire will help you light your workshop, while Gust can be the wind beneath your wings. You won’t have them again for quite a while, sadly. For your spells, Animal Friendship will help you keep in touch with the relatives, and… you can probably throw thread around to Entangle enemies? To be honest, there aren’t many low-level druid spells we’re looking for in this build. Do what you need to.

Oh, there is one last thing- you have proficiency in Intelligence and Wisdom saves, as well as Animal Handling for obvious reasons and Perception to keep your patterns straight.

2. Druid 2: At level two, you gain access to your subclass, the Circle of Dreams! With this, you gain the Balm of the Summer Court. as a bonus action, you can roll a couple d6 and heal up a buddy with the total rolled! they also get a lil temporary hp depending on how many dice u spend. you have a total number of dice equal to your druid level, and they recharge each long rest!

you can also take on a wild shape as an action, turning into a beast of cr ¼ or lower that doesn’t have a swimming or flying speed- so no cranes yet! you can’t cast spells while an animal, but you can concentrate on them! also all your hard stats (strength, dex, constitution, n hp total) get replaced by the animal’s. when you hit 0 hp as an animal or you time out you turn into a human again, and all the remaining damage goes to your regular hp. you can do this twice per short rest! so, idk, maybe turn into a fox in the meantime? there’s plenty of grateful animal stories to go on!

3. Druid 3: third level druids get second level spells! anything with “beast” or “animal” in the name is a good pick, but we’re also gonna grab enhance ability for advantage on weaving checks, and pass without trace to make a quick escape when dawn rises.

4. druid 4: at fourth level you get another cantrip like guidance! now you can add a d4 to your next skill check, like your weaving! you’re kind of a one-trick pony, huh?

speaking of your one trick, use this asi to bump up your wisdom! you also get a wild shape improvement, so you can turn into swimming creatures of cr ½ or lower!

5. druid 5: fifth level druids get third level spells! you can conjure animals, or meld into stone to get the heck outta the fight. kinda. you can’t actually leave, but you’re not gonna get hit any time soon.

6. Druid 6: Sixth level dream druids can create a Hearth of Moonlight and Shadow, a special workshop that will protect you during short and long rests. When you begin your rest, you can create a 30’ radius sphere that lasts until the end of the rest, or until you leave it. While inside, creatures get a bonus to their Stealth and Perception checks, and light doesn’t escape from within it.

7. Druid 7: Seventh level druids can use fourth level spells. Freedom of Movement will make escaping from battle much easier, and you can also become a Guardian of Nature, in one of two flavors. A Primal Beast gains advantage with strength-based attacks, as well as deals extra force damage, an increased walking speed, and darkvision. Meanwhile, a Great Tree gains temporary HP, advantage on constitution saves, makes dexterity and wisdom attacks with advantage, and creates difficult terrain around themselves. Use the former to empower your crane form when it finally appears, and the latter to create a particularly flowing dress for your human form that can protect you and trip up any foes nearby.

8. Druid 8: At long last, the eighth level of druid gives you another Wild Shape Improvement, allowing you to turn into a flying beast of CR 1 or lower. Which, coincidentally, is the perfect way to describe a Giant Swan, the closest thing to a crane we have in the monster manual. You can even still speak Common! Your Wisdom is also maxed out at this level thanks to another ASI.

9. Cleric 1: Now that we have your true form, it’s time to start weaving properly. Once you become a Forge cleric, you gain the Blessing of the Forge, letting you make one suit of armor a little bit tougher until your next long rest with a +1 AC bonus. You can also do this with a weapon, but the armor is more in-character. On top of that, you can technically wear heavy armor now, and use smith’s tools.

as a forge cleric you also get another spell list you can learn from and use your wisdom on! for cantrips grab thaumaturgy to… idk what exactly, but it does a lot so there’s probably something useful there. you can also spare the dying, bc this build shouldn’t heal people but it’s still support-based, and of course mending. to mend.

you also get first level spells, and unlike druid there’s stuff we want here! grab ceremony to spend some time making the perfect wedding dress that’ll be so memorable the lucky brides’ll get +2 ac for a week! or make a funeral suit so perfect undeath will stay away for 7 days, yknow, stuff like that. guiding bolt is pr much the only way we figured you could help the party out offensively. hit somebody, then the next person gets a better chance to hit them too! finally, sanctuary’ll make a dress so pretty, anybody that wants to hurt it has to make a wisdom save or they wont! it’ll break if the person wearing it tries to attack tho, so save it for someone that’s really support-heavy- like you! you also get identify and searing smite for free.

10. cleric 2: second level clerics can channel divinity once per short rest, picking between turn undead and artisan’s blessing. one makes zombies run away if they fail a wisdom save, the other lets you spend an hour to turn raw metal into an item. now you can make clothes and armor! and also more clothes if they have metal in them. make clothes with buttons in them.

11. cleric 3: third level clerics get second level spells, like heat metal and magic weapon! wait, those aren’t what we want. try out aid to make fancy clothing for three friends, with enough padding that they’ll get some extra hp for the day to boot! or warding bond to hurt yourself! instead of your friends, i mean. it’s the only spell we really have that works with miss crane’s whole schtick, ysee.

12. cleric 4: bomp up that constitution this asi for more hp! that means you have more stuff to sacrifice to help the party! yaaaaay! also you can use resistance to keep yourself from pricking your fingers while you weave. wait, you don’t have fingers…

13. cleric 5: a fifth level cleric can destroy undead of cr ½ or lower when they fail their save against being turned. you also get third level spells! elemental weapon ain’t your style, but protection from energy totally is! you can also use life transference to heal someone with your own hp. it kinda breaks character, but losing out on your own health trumps accuracy at this point.

14. cleric 6: a sixth level forge cleric can channel divinity twice a short rest, and they got the soul of the forge! that means you resist fire damage, and you get a +1 bonus to ac while wearing heavy armor! two totally useful things!

15. cleric 7: at seventh level you get fourth level spells, like the whole reason we’re in this class, fabricate! take some raw materials, spend some magic, and turn them into items! this works on a lot more than clothing, but more importantly it works on clothing. it doesn’t really say how raw the materials can get, so w/e, take some dead sheep and make some clothes.

(u also get wall of fire but w/e make clothes)

16. cleric 8: our last level of cleric gives you another asi and makes you resilient, bomping up your constitution and making your saves proficient! you also destroy undead of cr 1 now, and you can make a divine strike once per turn, dealing an extra 1d8 fire damage on a hit! but don’t hit, make clothes.

17. druid 9: ninth level druids get fifth level spells, letting you commune with nature, control winds, or tree stride. that last one’s super useful, it lets you bounce from battle real fast, as long as there’s a good-sized tree around.

18. druid 10: now that we’ve got clothesmaking down to a science, it’s time to bounce! tenth level dream druids can take hidden paths as a bonus action, teleporting up to 60’ away up to five times a day. you can also teleport someone else this way, so I guess you can make plugsuits now!

also you get primal savagery now, because… idk, why not?

19. druid 11: for your sixth level spells, investiture of wind lets you get a little loosey goosey while you’re still a human, flying around and launching gusts of wind all over the place. you can also weave up a primordial ward around yourself for resistance to elemental attacks, and you can react to gain immunity to a damage type too, ending the spell. finally, you can transport via plants, letting you move through any good-sized plant around and travel anywhere in the plane!

20. druid 12: for our final level, you’re getting durable! that rounds up your constitution again, and you heal up better during short rests, always getting at least 8 hp back on each die!

Pros and Cons

Pros:

you make shit real good. anybody need armor? you got’em. party needs to get dressed for an actual party? you got’em! need silver bullets? you gotta break character, but you can still do it! this all kind of depends on your game being very reliant on supplies and such, but “I can make customized suits and dresses for the party” will never not be cool.

even when you’re not making stuff, you can make good stuff happen with all your support spells, buffing your allies’ defenses, HP, and even giving them resistance to damage!

you’re hard to take down, with almost 200 hp (great for a caster) and the ability to fly and gain more hp from wild shapes, hunting this goose can take some time. and that’s before we get into your ability to teleport across the plane or, y’know, heal yourself. I know we left it off the build to keep it true to the character, but you can do it. nobody’s going to mind you breaking character if it keeps the party alive.

Cons:

this build isn’t really focused around damage. while you do have some options, (especially if you break character) there’s not a lot of variety or power in the build as-is. don’t wander off on your own.

you also still need supplies if you want to make fancy outfits aside from reflavoring, so be prepared to spend out the beak on good fabric.

druids are all about no metal. forge clerics are all about metal. I’m not saying it’s impossible to play this weird combo, but your DM’s going to raise an eyebrow.

If you're still doing head cannons, do you have any for Trip from time force?

Got a lot here, also Xybrian lore with him that I thought of👀

-Xybrians have slight alliances towards Rafkonians because of their mind like properties however most of the population like Trip can't fully control their mental abilities like Zayto or Aiyon.

-Trip was bullied when he first came to Earth and when he joined the Time Force organization. Considering that the future on Earth still has racism(Mutants I'm sorry) the idea of a Xybrian isn't taken extremely like mutants but still something "different" is seen weirdly within their eyes.

-Katie was Trip's first friend, Lucas kinda treated the dude like an inconvenience and because of Trip's visions he used that as an advantage to get around tasks and assignments. Though this was put down once he actually got used to being around the green ranger.

-Unknowingly to most Xybrians is that similar the concept of humans possibly getting psychic abilities upon unlocking the rest of their brain the species in that planet has a thing related to willpower and when that's unlocked they can do crazy psionic abilities. However because of the capabilities they are rather dangerous and kept a secret from the population, Trip is on the precipice of unlocking this.

-Trip is very touch starved and will take hugs as a main source of negotiation.

-Xybrians relationships don't have any standards really when it comes to sexuality. Trip himself identifies as bi but mostly into dudes, Katie and a field day explaining stuff about this on Earth(plus 31st Century so everyone is just chill tbh😎)

-Trip's first relationship was one with Alex Drake, the authoritarian aspect really made him feel safe and two did share some...quality time with each other however this was mainly a ruse because Alex looked through records and found out Trip's species knew some stuff about time travel and he wanted to get some secrets out of Trip, this actually led to Alex getting a better position in the organization.

-Alex and Trip had this little phase before the Time Force team came together, the former red ranger pretty much ignores him or any acknowledgment of the events. Of course Trip doesn't hate him but knowing about everything adds salt to the wound.

-Because of his culture not having secrets kept between everyone Trip tends to vent out every now and then. This also made him prone to people(Like Alex) taking advantage of his knowledge, the one time Trip said no to a person he shut down and hit well away in the clock tower. Katie had to be the one to help him realize there's nothing wrong in declining things, he considers her a sister.

-Trip have 4 siblings at home however he never contacts them. This is because two are scholars too busy trying to explore the universe while the other two constantly work with spatial architecture, plus with practices on their planet it's not uncommon for family to drift apart as they age.

-he loves throwing Eric and Wes off with future facts but also uses it as leverage to scare them whenever an argument starts.

-R&B is Trip's favorite musical genre. He's a little shy but get him a drink and he'll become the best dancer on the team. (Katie: I don't know what it means but Eric says you can "throw it back" really good at the club. Trip: ......kill me.)

-his hair literally cannot be dyed by most material,  only way of getting rid of the color is either by burning or having contact with star that has another color.

-you can literally lift him up like a little kitten.

-During the Wild Force crossover all the WF rangers were on edge when they saw the gem on Trip's forehead thinking he was some org. Didn't help that he bodied half the team in a fight when they were ready to kill him on spot.

-Trip is a very sloppy kisser, most guys tend to find it adorable though.

-one thing to note would be how Trip earns the most money out of the other rangers. He owns an apartment back in Millennium City but doesn't enjoy the idea of being alone in his thoughts so he stays either at Katie or Lucas's place.

-On a small scale the little xybrian has managed to develop his visions at will from time to time. This has become quite the powerful asset for fighting.

-Jen continues to train Trip closely because he really wants to hone the craft of combat and aside from Eric the green ranger has become the 2nd strongest member on their team.

-the true nature of Xybrian abilities is to "shift" the bounds of mind and reality. Only one being is able to fully due this and it's Trip, basically controlled what he wants his visions to be and also allowing for that image to phase through time itself, basically altering the future. Theoretically this has made Trip one of the most powerful green rangers and also a known target of the Time Force Organization as they have contingency for if he goes rogue. The team obviously disagrees with those guidelines and will LITERALLY murder the entire organization if they try anything.

-Trip has two moms and despite the old belief of family on Xybria he keeps good contact with them. They use these phone like devices that resemble that of a blooming flower to communicate from long distance, fun fact would be that they had this long before humans developed the telegraph⚘️📞☎️(concept reminds me of the skull phones from halloweentown if anyone remembers those movies).

-Trip enjoys wearing big clothes that layer around him or in some instances clothing that has rips. Xybrian fashion can be described as a traditional future type of style with emphasis on "showing your true self" coming into mix(

-Trip loves learning about history, Xybria has history spanning over millions of years. Though due a dark age half of it has been lost and this has made the green ranger eager to solve mysteries overall in life(I have many lore ideas for them as well as a lot for Raflon if anyone is interested in a post I'd be glad to make one.)

-He hates pickles and the very thought of being around one makes Trip want to burn the clock tower down.

-for any comic fans(@augment-techs might like this one👀), during Shattered Grid Drakkon found out about the shifting abilities that Xybrians may have access to and he ordered that they would be hunted in fears of some collective hivemind changing the future to defeat him(Coinless Trip would have a scar on his forehead from the gem being ripped out)

-one thing the green ranger enjoys is going through history and having lunch with his favorite historical figures.

-during Lucas's race fiasco Dash decided to go after Trip to toy with the blue ranger. Flirting, trying to get hands and what not, Trip didn't mind the attention but Lucas was ready to commit a crime during the event.

-Trip has a huge crush on Wes and the two got together, though because of Alex the green ranger has to keep reminding himself that Wes isn't Alex, Eric may or may not joined the relationship and the two red rangers actually find the little xybrian to be amazing.

-Alien movies are seen as offensive in his eyes.

-When he sleeps the little gem on his head lights up, he can also look through people's dreams from time to time. Eric dreams about Wes in an apron...like a lot.

-hia favorite food is apple pie.

-Grid energy allows for a lot of Trip's abilities become super-powered than usual. One time when a dude was hassling him in a store he ended up blasting him into a wall made a crater...not really in his nature to be excessively violent, though some rangers like Zhane asked for him with their own mind powers.

-Each of the time force rangers have a phone plan with the xybrian flower communicators thanks to Trip, one of his mom's is quiet yet resourceful worker for one of the aristocrats on his homeworld so she has everyone on the family plan.

-Constellations are a great sign for the green ranger as his grandmother used to take him to see light shows in neighboring galaxies. Whenever a lantern festival happens or a shooting star passes on Earth Trip takes all the time to watch the phenomenon.

-Trip loves his birthday but on Xybria due to the secrets rule the idea of a day being limited to one's self is looked down upon so he doesn't get to celebrate it often. Katie never forgets and she organized a party with Wes and Eric for the dude.

-Trip can force-choke someone with his mind but he doesn't like to hurt people.

-his grandmother was killed by his abilities during a family ceremony to meditate together. The pressure from this really made Trip freak out and the pillars of their house fell on the woman's body, Jen's the only person that he's ever told about this (effectively making this the only secret he really keeps)

-when really charged up his hair becomes a bit bluer which Wes finds rather hot for some reason. Psionics🟢✨️

-the zord cockpit concept gave Trip the idea to create a space within his mind for focus. When he really needs a place to escape to he'll sneak away to something peaceful, this also allowed him to practice lucid dreaming, anything to become attuned with the mind.

-his favorite animal is a dragon, Xybria had a myriad of them in the past but after the forgotten dark age they went extinct for some mysterious reason. One megazord formation he created with the Q-Rex zord involves a dragon like fusion.

-Funny enough but when Trip gets mad at a person he will bite them if he gets the opportunity. Wes seems to enjoy this and uses it to his advantage.

-He's really good at sewing and can even mend together clothing made of stardust like thread he buys from space. One of the main material used to make traditional xybrian outfits.

-Trip became a clothing model for a short amount of time and actually wore some small designs by Trent Fernandez. After Cosmic Fury and eventually into SPD with aliens becoming more prominent on earth he gave the dude some of his homeworld's design references but Trent can only take small influences as 1.) They're from the 31st Century and 2.) He'd like to make his own designs instead.

-Andros, Zhane, Karone, Aiyon, Zayto and Trip together call themselves the Hex-Squad(Hexad and mind squad)

[kneeslapworthy]

What I think TMBS characters’ Spotify Wrapped would look like based entirely on vibes and my incredibly biased opinions:

Reynie

Reynie is introspective, the most openly emotional one in the group (i mean he literally declared how much he loves hugs in the S2 finale) and I 100% headcanon him as a hopeless romantic. We also know that he really likes literature and language, so I think he would like music that puts a lot of emphasis on lyrics. The first obvious artists I could think of were artists like Taylor Swift or maybe Conan Gray, and while he would probably enjoy these artists, I get the feeling he probably leans more indie-folk (because he’s a hipster and we all know it). Cat Stevens, Joni Mitchell and maybe even Bob Dylan would suit Reynie’s confessional and heart-on-his-sleeve sort of attitude. For his more casual listens I could see him enjoying the likes of Fleetwood Mac, The Zombies and for more modern music perhaps Lucy Dacus, Flyte and Fleet Foxes. Now Reynie is definitely the type of person to have a ton of hyper-specific playlists for every single emotion he’s feeling and he also makes playlists for his friends and family all the time (he’s the sole cause behind Mr Benedict’s embarrassing 80s synth-pop phase). Ms Perumal plays a lot of Norah Jones, Duffy and Amy Winehouse so naturally, that trickles down into the bottom tracks of Reynie’s Spotify Wrapped list. 

Top artist: Fleetwood Mac

Top track: Wild World - Cat Stevens

Sticky

While I could easily dismiss Sticky by saying that he probably only listens to classical music because that’s what smart people do that’s boring so let’s. have. fun. Given Sticky’s anxiety and overall state of mind, I think he would enjoy artists like Leith Ross and Orla Gartland whose music he can easily relate to. I also think he’s the kind of person who listens to everything his friends (though mostly Reynie let’s be honest) recommend, so his Spotify Wrapped would be a weird mix of everything from show tunes (thanks to Mr Benedict) to metal to hip-hop. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that Sticky likes to listen to male manipulator music, but not because he’s actually like that, he just appreciates the music (plus some “cool” people at Boatwright recommended it to him). So The Smiths, Radiohead and dare I say Weezer would be on his playlists. I feel like Sticky is the type of person who reads/studies in complete silence, but for those moments when he wants some ambience I can totally see him pulling out some nice jazz records. Sticky likes to be organized, so he has playlists divided by genre and artist (though not so much the overall mood of the music). 

Top artist: Orla Gartland

Top track: Back To The Old House - The Smiths 

Kate

My headcanon is that most of the music Kate knows is from the circus where every night they’d get together and play on some janky DIY instruments and out-of-tune guitars (Kate would play a washboard or kazoo. argue with the wall). So when she finally gets the chance to listen to recorded music, she naturally gravitates towards what she recognizes. This ends up being a lot of classic rock like The Rolling Stones, AC/DC and of course Joan Jett & the Blackhearts as well as more folk-style musicians like Bob Dylan and The Mamas & The Papas. I can also see her and Milligan sitting together out on the farm and enjoying a Bob Dylan or Patsy Cline record together. Because of this, Kate doesn’t listen to a lot of newer music, but like Sticky, she’d be open to most genres and whatever her friends recommend. As a result, I think Kate would have the widest range of genres on her Spotify Wrapped. On the one hand, I feel like she’d be drawn to Florence + The Machine and Odie Leigh, but I can also picture her sitting in one of the apple trees at the farm blasting some The Cranberries or Green Day when she’s feeling extra angsty. Maybe even something more Soul/R&B like Al Green and Lauryn Hill? Despite this large variety, Kate would also be the type of person to have just one playlist titled “Kate’s Playlist” that contains like a thousand songs (it hasn’t been edited in four years and she skips most of the songs). 

Top artist: The Rolling Stones

Top track: Crimson and Clover - Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, 

Constance

Given Constance’s vocal distaste for rhyming poetry, I get the feeling that she would have an equally vocal distaste for music. She’d call it “grating noise for simpletons” or something, but Mr Benedict gets her a Spotify account anyways because he just knows. And indeed, when no one’s around, Constance will blast some aggressively juvenile pop and dance around her room, because ultimately, she’s still a child. I feel like she would also love The Oh Hellos (who don’t fit into the “aggressively juvenile pop”-category, but still) and their storytelling. We do learn that Constance does appreciate art, so I think an artist with a particularly striking voice like Leontyne Price or Luciano Pavarotti (both Opera singers) would move her to tears. Overall, however, I feel like Constance doesn’t listen to a whole lot of music and when she does she doesn’t pay much mind to the artist. She also refuses to have any playlists (except for the ones she’s created by accident). 

Top artist: Honestly, who knows (in my heart of hearts i want to say Carly Rae Jepsen just to be chaotic) 

Top track: Soldier, Poet, King - The Oh Hellos

Bonus! SQ (because i love my son) 

Much like himself, SQ would like music that’s softer and sad as hell. The first to come to mind are Sufjan Stevens, Bon Iver and Gregory Alan Isakov (and I know for a fact that SQ listens to Phoebe Bridgers and Boygenius). But I could also see artists like Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and The Smiths with their more upbeat melancholia be added to his playlists (along with any song about having a complicated relationship with your father/parent). Apart from that one cursed scene in S2, we don’t see Curtain enjoying any music, but I can definitely see him making sure that SQ doesn’t listen to anything he deems “unsophisticated” or “vulgar” (so no Rage Against The Machine for SQ unfortunately). When Curtain and SQ do listen to music together, it’s often classical music when they’re sitting in silence together in Curtain’s office. Since SQ is a very creative person, I can see him being drawn to more experimental stuff like Björk, Radiohead or Kino. 

Top artist: Sufjan Stevens 

Top track: Should Have Known Better - Sufjan Stevens

[iwasbored777]

If Marinette was a guy, let me tell you what would've happened. People would go WILD for a sensitive, artistic and cute boy who's lovesick and a big romantic. Him having Adrien's photos would never be a big deal bc from a long time, fandom is apologetic and too forgiving of a male characters action. He wouldn't be called a stalker, he would be called protective and so possessive and cute. I've seen ppl defend a guy who drugs the mc and sexually assaulted her. Trust me, this won't be a problem.

I know! Literally the only male main characters who get crap for their behaviour are Danny Zuko from Grease, Noah from Notebook, Howard Volovitz from Bug Bang Theory (who btw had character development unlike Raj who ACTUALLY deserves hate but doesn't get it) and Ross Geller from Friends. Everyone else is totally fine.

I know the praise for being "good fathers" Homer Simpson from Simpsons and Richard Waterson from The Amazing World Of Gumball get when they are both sh*tty fathers and sh*tty husbands.

Homer always whines about how much he hates his life and his own family and his job and literally all his friends tell him they would die for a life like that but he doesn't appreciate it. Every time Marge told him to do something useful for their household he doesn't want to do it and she has to. For a while I loved him because he's hands down the funniest character in the show until he found out Marge is going to see a therapist every week from how unhappy she is with her life, instead of talking about that to her and trying to make their marriage better, he chose not to tell her anything because he thinks the therapy is enough, he didn't even feel sorry for her because after therapy she's always cooking good meals and is in mood for s*x so it works for him. Every time he ruined something she made he gets rewarded in the end of the episode, and she and their kids always forgive him. He literally doesn't even care about Maggie, always makes Lisa's life harder, and HE LITERALLY CHOKES BART AND PEOPLE SEE THAT AS FUNNY AND NO ONE EVER CALLED IT OUT! Bart literally has trauma from that, it was established in the show and the movie. You know who is hated in that show? Lisa. Lisa, who is one of the sweetest characters and one of my favourite characters I relate so much to, is hated because of her religion, Homer is loved for being a jerk.

Richard Waterson is so bad my own grandma hated him! He does literally nothing around the house and kids, Nicole has to work and take care of three freakin children AND the household but he can get away with everything and people even see him as a good guy who "tries his best" because he spends all day in bed eating junk food.

Peter Griffin and Quagmire from Family Guy are also horrible characters. Peter is a bad father who hates his daughter and Quagmire is a LITERAL r*pist and people not only love Peter but also laugh at Quagmire's r*pe jokes and scenes where they hinted that he r*ped someone.

Patrick Star from Spongebob Squarepants is so bad that I was a kid and I already hated him. He's treating Spongebob like cr*p and uses him and Spongebob always has to apologise cuz HOW DARE HE BE MAD AT HIS BEST FRIEND WHO'S ALSO THE WORST FRIEND YOU COULD EVER HAVE and Patrick is so popular he even got a spin-off show.

Aaron Samuels from Mean Girls was the biggest hypocrite ever and no one hates him, everyone hates the main female character who was also a hypocrite but you know how it goes - she learned her lesson, she became a better person, and he got rewarded even though he's still a jerk and he doesn't even realize he's a jerk.

I already wrote about My Best Friend's Wedding and Made of Honor being two movies with the same plot but MBFW has a female lead and MoH has male lead and the female lead also suffered the consequences and learned her lesson and she lost and EVERYONE EVERYWHERE hates her, you won't see anyone on the Internet who loves her, but no one hates him who won by doing something terrible, never learned his lesson and never faced the consequences. She can't be with a guy she loves but he can be with a girl he loves and she is terrible he's not, he's a hero.

In that movie Emma the main character who's wonderful ended up with a guy who was is always criticising her and yelling at her and I don't see people complaining about that.

Gumball in The Amazing World Of Gumball is a really bad kid. He's selfish and mean for no reason and no one hates him and he doesn't get character development but you know what? I'm glad no one hates him cuz he's just a kid - and so is Marinette. Gumball is actually the most accurate representation of a kid his age. But he doesn't receive criticism for stuff Marinette receives criticism all the time, even when doing something bad wasn't in her intentions. I would rather want them to criticise his father Richard if they have to criticise someone but no way they'll get criticism cuz they are male characters.

Maxim Lavrov from The Kitchen is literally THE WORST main character I've ever seen in my life and I watched so much stuff. He is constantly stalking Victoria, his on-off girlfriend, literally 70% of times they had s*x that was because he literally forced her to do it even when she told him to let her go and that is seen as hot but actually that's r*pe, he stole her documents so she can't travel with other guy when they broke up, he poked holes on her tires to prevent her from leaving with someone else, he stole her medical records in hospital when she was pregnant to see if the baby was his, he spread rumours that she is dating their boss who's married and that she would date anyone who can buy her stuff, he fought his rival out of jealousy, he cheated on her twice with the same woman, he didn't want to do anything around their apartment and she had to everything herself when they got married, he didn't like her for being "too perfect", he dated the girl he cheated with the first time he broke up with Victoria and when karma did it's work and he got cheated on he pursued Victoria immediately as if he would actually date her again if he didn't break up with this girl and when Victoria didn't want to date him he blamed her for their relationship failing and he called her a gold digger, he always grabbed her by her hand forcefully and he was really rough with her when she didn't want to talk even when she was pregnant, he followed her everywhere ALL THE TIME and spied on her. I think only my mom and I can't stand him. Everyone else loves him on the fan page and everyone who's seen the show. They love him. The only consequence he suffered was when she broke up with him both times when he cheated but even in the end of the show they didn't get together but they were in good terms and they worked at the same place and he was allowed to take care of their daughter with her and he got a promotion too. Without even trying.

Shrek literally signed a contract to get rid of his family and I feel like I'm the only one who hated him in that movie, no one complains about that character downgrade cuz like how tf do you disown everyone you love and still get a reward in the end?!

Raymond, Robert and Frank from Everybody Loves Raymond are treating their wives horribly, no one said anything about them. They are all horrible, you don't know which one is worse. In fact, ELR makes abuse Debra, Raymond's wife, has to suffer from his family funny.

Fallon and Adam from Dynasty - Fallon always works on being a better person even when she breaks a vase while Adam kills people and all is forgiven

I'm sure there are a lot more other examples and these are just a few, but female characters ALWAYS suffer the consequences in stuff I watched. I don't remember ever seeing a female character cheating her partner and getting away with it, a male character is always forgiven for cheating after the female character is really hurt, she always forgives him and they are a happy couple. And don't tell me about rom com jerks who get the girl every time for treating her terribly. Also women in rom coms are shallow if they choose a hot tall bf but male characters can choose women who look like literal supermodels and that's totally not shallow. I just hate these stereotypes. "If male character did it they would get cancelled" I literally grew up watching male characters who never changed and those toxic ones ended up as a pop culture icons. It's a rare case when a male character's behaviour is called out.

Bish I literally had to watch people draw Chat Noir punching Ladybug and people saying he should do it in the comments and him getting praised when he yelled at her and that's totally fair from our fandom? That's not gender equality, that's misogyny.
