When Robbie is in the tail end of her elementary school years, she starts going to a sleepaway camp. She’s around nine the first time she goes and she’s nervous at first, obviously, but she ends up loving it so much that by the end of the month-long program, Steve and Eddie practically have to drag her out of the cabin.

The next year, Robbie convinces them to let her attend the entire eight-week program, which means she’s gone practically the entire summer – a goddamn score, in their opinion, because it means they only have two kids to figure out what to do all summer with instead of three.

There is, however, an unexpected opponent of this – Moe.

Moe did not like not having Robbie around for two months, and she moped around the house practically the entire summer (Steve caught her standing in front of the calendar counting the days until her return at least twice). Rather than admit that she actually loves her sister and truly misses her when she’s gone though, she resorts to the only real solution to keep her at home – implicit manipulation tactics.

Which is why Steve overhears this exchange a few months before Robbie’s departure for her third year at camp:

Moe: I would never want to do something like that.

Moe: Like, you’re going into that gross lake every day and you can’t ever shower. You never change your sheets. There’s a million people all in one room.

Moe: It’s so gross.

Robbie, shrugging: I showered basically every day.

Robbie: And I changed my sheets once a week.

Moe: Whatever.

Moe: I don’t know why anybody would want to go to one of those.

Moe: There’s way better things to do here – you don’t even know, Robbie.

Later, Steve has to have this conversation with her:

Steve: I totally get that you really miss Robbie while she’s at camp.

Steve: And I know that two months is a long time for her to be gone.

Steve: But I gotta tell you, hon.

Steve: Manipulating her into thinking she doesn’t want to go…not the best way to go about dealing with that emotion.

#only-child steve has *many* phone calls with the only normal sibling dynamic he knows – erica and lucas #steve: should i be concerned about this #erica: remember when lucas was gonna do a basketball program in cali but our fax machine broke and he didn’t send the paperwork in time #lucas: ........erica – what the fuck????#(it’s fine he got scouted at the one he ended up going to instead)#liv’s steddie dads verse #steddie #steddie dads #steve harrington #eddie munson

for the wip game - landoscar social media INTRIGUES me because of oscar's (and lando's, honestly) general social media chaos. also hope you feel better soon! <3

there is a certain level of chaos that landoscar are able to create with their social media that i will never be able to replicate…

[Photo 1: A cliff face with the waves crashing across the rocks, with eight towers of limestone rocks staggered down the shore.

Photo 2: Lando in front of the Luna Park sign, a large face with its mouth dropped, where the entrance of the amusement park lays.

Photo 3: A low angle of Oscar hiking through the Australian bush, the sun reflects off the lens of the camera, creating a lens flare.

Photo 4: In the dusk, their faces lit up by a campfire as Oscar sits on a rocking chair on a veranda, Lando on the arm of the chair. Oscar has a hand on Lando’s thigh, Lando has an arm around Oscar’s shoulder, the other hand patting the top of his head.]

Liked by alex_albon and others

#the first photo is meant to be the 12 apostles which contary to its name only has 8 #nothing like the disappointment of a 12 year old child spending too long in a car with the promise you’ll see 12 rocks and to only get 8 #wip game #landoscar #five writes #landoscar spin off #candle wax and polaroids verse

Me: Two adults taking in an emotionally fraught child who they (unintentionally) teach to be dependent on them is bad at best and abusive at worst.

Some tumblr geniuses: hOw dArE YOU villainize pOC in favor of a white woman. You're racist, despite being a black woman. You can't criticize PoC ever!!! POC can never be bad people, and they can't hurt white people, even if said white person is a child!

Me: I'm not even engaging with this. *blocks*

#die mad lmao #across the spider verse spoilers #spider man: across the spider verse #across the spiderverse #gwen stacy #spider gwen #miguel o'hara #jessica drew #spider woman #spiderman 2099 #i understand where you are coming from but gwen is a child #I'm not shitting on a minor in favor of two adults trying to force miles to let his dad die #they arent the only poc in the move dumbasses #when most of the older poc you're related to or in community with act like those 2

Well, since you said it's okay :)

Nox verse crossover! Specifically, Sola and Nox being summoned to Dissidia sometime before the entire Marilith incident.

Sola was not happy to be dragged into some weird fighting tournament, so she is more than happy to derail the entire thing to talk to her New Brother. Now if only he would stay still! Please stop running away, Brother, she has Questions!

Sola also has Questions for her Papa, once she gets back to Insomnia. Starting with how many ooops babies did you have, Papa? She wants to know if there are More Siblings out there.

(Yes, Regis, how many kids do you have running around? says Clarus while Glaring at his King. They saw the entire thing through Crystal-vision.)

Absolutely okay to keep sending in asks! Can't promise I'll get to them right away given it's finals season atm, but the asks are fun!

Putting this under a cut because I got clocked in the head with a bat by the damn plot bunnies while writing this and it got stupidly long.

Not gonna lie, this is great - Sola would lose her entire mind because brother? New brother?

New brother who has definitely not been taking care of himself properly, sit down so Sola can feed you, Pyre damn it all.

Meanwhile Nox is more than a little surprised to come face to face with a girl who looks so much like mom but with Ardyn's hair and magic and Cor's scowl. His new sister - who claims him as a brother despite giving his surname as Izunia, only blinking once at the name of Niflheim's Chancellor before she promptly calls him her little brother - fights a lot like Cor as well, which is how Nox learns that Sola's been apprenticed to Cor since she was ten, after she foiled an assassination attempt on their younger brother, Noctis.

(Nox has to swallow around a lump in his throat at how easily Sola accepts him as family, calling Noctis their little brother instead of just hers.)

Actually though, Sola has a blast while she's in Dissidia. How could she not? She got a new brother - who is definitely a Little Brother, she doesn't care that he can kick her ass with both hands behind his back, his personal care habits are atrocious and she will do her duty as Older Sister and remind him to eat Pyre damn it - got to cut loose and fight a bunch of people and creatures, and didn't have to deal with the snobs on Papa's Council.

Best vacation ever.

Sola comes back from Dissidia grinning ear to ear - she convinced Nox to exchange numbers, and even if he's bad at remembering to text or call her, Sola will remember if it means badgering her newest brother into taking care of himself better - and cheerfully asks Papa if she's got any other siblings hanging about. Regis chokes on his spit, Clarus looks like he'd also like to know the answer to that question, while Cor looks like he can't decide if his birthday's come early or he wants to preemptively break out the alcohol.

So yeah, this is great. Maybe even better than original Sola and Nox and Noctis get pulled into Dissidia while Sola is pregnant, because teenaged Sola is having so much fun.

But.

Consider.

Little!Nox 'verse.

Specifically the version where @secret-engima dropped Nox and Noctis on Materia's side and Ardyn on Spiritus' side, with Sola joining Ardyn in this case. Post-Marilith because otherwise Nox would be like, three and Noctis eight and even I'm not that mean.

So instead Noctis is ten (Materia did try to call for champions that weren't literal children and had at least some combat experience. Normally Noctis wouldn't count, but he's since got the same soul as Nox, things got kinda mixed up. Not that that excuse will save Materia from Sola and Ardyn's wrath). Nox is five, and Sola is seventeen and newly outed as a Kingsglaive to the media, and newly realized by the Galahdians as being a half-feral Sky-born instead of just a short-tempered magical teenager.

Sola arrives at the tower before Ardyn and learns from one of the less-asshole villains who may have done this whole dog-and-chocobo show before that she’s to fight her counterpart. Which makes her immediately suspicious because she doesn’t have a mortal enemy like these people. Well, most of these people. Apparently one of them is fighting his sister-in-law and former comrade while another is fighting his own son, and if Sola goes off that pattern that means her counterpart is-

Oh Pyre no.

At which point Ardyn arrives in all of his furious-terrified-where-the-fuck-is-my-nephew Scourge-magic-faced glory. Which neatly derails Sola’s impending Rage as she stares at the man that looks (and feels, and Sola never realized how lonely she was until she met another with her magic) more like her than her own father and brother and it feels like she’s been sucker punched. Because that’s the missing Chancellor of Niflheim putting the fear of him into the other champions through the sheer strength of his magic that Sola’s doesn’t have a snowball’s chance on Ifrit’s Pyre of matching.

And yet-

“Uncle?” Ardyn’s not sure how he hears it past the sheer terror and rage pounding in his ears, past the red and gold shards of magic swirling about him in a physical manifestation of come-near-me-and-die, but somehow the soft word gets his attention from where he’s seething at Spiritus. Or maybe it’s just the barest brush of hesitant-surprise-hope that has him turning to the young woman looking at him with wide blue eyes framed by achingly familiar red hair.

He remembers hearing about the Regis of this alternate world (and hadn’t that been a shock on top of everything else) having a daughter older than Noctis. He’d simply been too busy caring for Nox to look more into it. Now he wishes he had.

Noctis may look almost exactly like Somnus, but clearly his older sister takes after Ardyn.

“Niece.” He greets. He cannot muster up the effort for even his most insincere smile right now, not when he doesn’t know where Nox is.

Sola steps fearlessly into the magic swirling around him like a storm, shards of red and gold shattering harmlessly against her skin-

Is she, is she hugging him?

She is. Even though she’s old enough to know who he is, her arms are circling his torso in an encompassing hold that is nonetheless so gentle that he could break out of it with a single step.

Ardyn… doesn’t. It… feels nice. His niece is warm, her magic (so like his, he never thought anyone would ever inherit his magic) contained such that only hints of it brush up against his, and yet Ardyn can feel clearly how his niece has no fear or disdain of him.

Ardyn isn’t sure what to make of that. He awkwardly pats her shoulder.

“Who did they take?” His niece asks. “Your counterpart.”

Ardyn’s hand involuntarily tightens on Sola’s shoulder. She doesn’t flinch. Ardyn wavers on whether to tell her, because he’s been trying to keep Nox secret and he can’t do that if anyone from the royal family knows.

But this is Sola, whose reputation for being so fiercely protective of her younger brother managed to reach even the furthest reaches of the Lucian outlands. And Sola’s magic is radiating her honest desire to help him, simply because he’s family.

Ardyn prays he’s making the right choice. “My nephew.”

From where she’s clutching him like Nox does with his stuffed chocobo, Sola stills, before looking up at him with shocked blue eyes. Underneath the worry and fear for the others taken with them, hope and affection blooms. “I have another brother?”

“Nox.” Ardyn hesitates, then adds. “He’s five.”

It’s like flipping a switch. Sola’s delight is buried under a wave of protective fury that doesn’t touch him, and she bares her teeth in a snarl. “They summoned. My five year old brother?”

Ardyn hasn’t seen this kind of fury since the mother coeurl chased off a voretooth pack that had gotten too close to Nox and her other cubs. He’s darkly eager to see how much violence his niece will dish out. If he deigns to leave her anything to kill, that is. “Most likely.”

Sola whirls on Spiritus, seething. “Where are my brothers?”

Meanwhile, Noctis is Absolutely Not Panicking.

He’s ten now, and if Sola was able to protect him from assassins without panicking at ten then Noctis can protect his baby brother without panicking, especially because he’s got so many people looking out for him. He’s a big kid now after all.

(Noctis doesn't know that Sola very much did panic when she saved him from that assassin seven years back. That the whole incident was one blur of Kill The Threat By Any Means Possible of panicked Sky-born instincts.)

Noctis is trying so very hard to be brave for Nox, but then they’re attacked and Noctis sees the attack coming for them and he knows he can’t get his sword up in time and he wants his sister-

And then there’s magic ripping through the air, familiar-but-not even as Sola appears out of nowhere to scoop the both of them up in her arms and raise the strongest barrier she can around them, her magic quivering in relief and protective fury, reassuring them that she’s got them, they’re safe and Uncle is just outside taking care of everything, they’re safe.

Noctis bursts into tears. Nox follows in short order. Sola holds them both, rumbling low in her throat like how she used to soothe Noctis after a nightmare, and keeping her shield as opaque as she can because like Pyre she’s letting either of the kids see the absolute carnage happening on the other side. Bad enough they can hear it. Sola would rather be tearing someone apart, but someone needs to protect her brothers and Uncle is so much stronger than her. So she sits on her cranky Sword instincts and goes about comforting her brothers.

When Ardyn finally knocks on her shield, the screaming has finally stopped, and both her brothers have cried themselves to sleep. Sola’s still making that rumbling sound in her chest, a self-soothing technique she hasn't used in longer than she can remember.

In a mirror of last time, Ardyn fearlessly steps past Sola’s bristling magic and hugs her, long arms wrapping around her and the boys with ease. He doesn’t say anything - he’s never gotten the hang of comforting words, even after two years of caring for Nox - but cautiously wrapping his magic around Sola and the boys has all three of them relaxing in his arms. At which point Sola dissolves into tears, silently sobbing into Ardyn’s shoulder in an effort not to wake Nox or Noctis, but Astrals, she was so scared and they nearly didn’t make it in time and Sola doesn’t want to have to contemplate living without her brothers. And Ardyn doesn’t know how to comfort, but he can just sit there and hold his niblings while his niece cries.

Sola and Ardyn only met hours before, but looking at how they act with each other no one is able to tell. Because those two get along like a house on fire.

(What is this overkill you speak of? We only know keeping nephews/little brothers safe. With extreme prejudice.)

Sola is monstrously protective of her newest brother and uncle. Nox’s Sick Day has Sola and the rest of the mages capable of healing and Ice Elemancy tending to Nox around the clock, struggling to keep his temperature down, Sola once more making her rumbling approximation of a purr to try and comfort both her family and herself. Which prompts Y’shtola to actually purr whenever it’s her turn to watch over Nox because the rumbling/purring helps Nox sleep through it all.

The reveal of Ardyn’s scars sends Sola into a towering fury that she makes sure to keep away from Uncle and her brothers, and Mors is lucky he’s already dead because Sola would gut him and leave him to bleed out on the floor.

(Ardyn is surprised by Sola’s fury and grief on his behalf. He’s not surprised by the love she has for Nox, but for him? It’s been millennia since he’s received that kind of immediate and unconditional care from anyone, much less family.)

So when Sola later sits by him that night after Nox and Noctis are fast asleep, burrowing under his arm for a half-hug Ardyn can easily escape from, Ardyn doesn’t expect the soft, “You’re safe? Wherever you are?”

Ardyn looks down at his niece’s red hair in surprise, wondering what’s prompted this inquiry. But it’s easy enough to answer. “Yes.” As safe as one can be living in the outlands, which is safe enough with Axis and his family helping and Ardyn being the most powerful being on the planet short of an Astral.

Fingers tighten their grip on his coat. “…will you call?”

“Call?”

“After we go home.” Sola clarifies. “I want to know you’re both okay.”

Ardyn stills. Because she can’t mean what he thinks she means. “You won’t try to take Nox?” Not that Ardyn would let anyone take his nephew.

“You don’t trust Papa.” Sola says. Which, yes, but Ardyn didn’t expect Sola to pick up on that when he’s been keeping a lid on the vitriol he feels for most of his family, for Nox and Noctis’ sakes. “Nox is my baby brother, but he’s your nephew too, and he loves you.” A quiet sniffle. “I’ll miss you.”

“I will call.” Ardyn promises, resting a hand on Sola’s hair. “Both of us will.” He’s gotten a lot better at managing time, he can absolutely make a reminder on his phone to call his favorite niece once a week. If not, Titus can remind him.

⠀⠀⠀[ CLOSED STARTER: @typhoonvash ] | Date Night!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀———

Wolfwood ran a hand through his hair, his gaze focused intently on the back of the saloon. There, lit in the dim glow of a lone lantern, sat Vash, quietly nursing a drink. A wave of adrenaline coursed through his veins, making his heart pound against his ribcage like a drum. But he was resolute.

Taking a deep breath, he straightened his jacket, adjusted the collar of his shirt, and strode across the room with an air of determination. His walk was brisk, his steps echoing through the hushed establishment. It was as if the world had narrowed down to this moment, to this man.

❛ Needles ❜

He started, leaning against the table, his posture a bit too rigid. His fingers drummed an erratic rhythm on the wooden surface, a silent testament to his inner tumult. His nerves were a pulsing undercurrent beneath his feigned nonchalance.

❛ I've been doing a lot of thinking... about us. ❜

He said, the words coming out more blunt than he had planned.

#✟ ｡ — ❛ you were only a child Nicholas ❜ ( MAIN VERSE.)#✟ ｡ — ❛ No matter how long I resist temptation I will always lose. There's no solution. We'll never last..❜ ( VASH | TYPHOONVASH.)

Hi again! I wanted to ask if you happened to know where in 3Houses we learn about Jeralt's current-day opinions about Garreg Mach and Rhea - some folks and I were able to find his diary in the datamine, but we're not quite sure where to find the scene(s) I've seen mentioned where he apparently started to change his mind once he sees how happy Byleth is at the monastery. Thanks if you're able to help, and have a nice day!

Are you talking about those lines?

Then perhaps it's a good thing we came to the monastery, if only so I could see your face lit up like that. Or maybe there was never any reason for us to leave the monastery in the first place...

Jerry realises Billy is angry and happy and expresses way more emotions since they came to the Monastery than before, when they were living together.

Sadly the last line, his final thoughts about the Monastery, will never be expanded upon because when we later see the diary, it is a "past" Jeralt writing about how much Rhea BaD - when we know the most recent Jeralt reconsidered, he ran away from her because he was afraid, but ultimately, he was afraid over "nothing" since, despite their heart not beating, his child is alive and not as "not normal*" as he first thought.

Aka, Rhea was right, Byleth was alright, but he didn't believe her back then and realises it was a stupid move.

Maybe he and Rhea finally made up before he died, and there was no animosity left between them?

*We never hear in this game anyone wondering what is "normal" or "not normal" - to humans a baby without a beating heart is "not normal", but a Blaiddyd man crushing a skull with his hand is. And let's not wonder if all Nabateans or Nabatean hybrids, or "Nabatean Homonculi" have heartbeats, because that's something the devs give no fucks about, because they do not care about their own world.

#holdharmonysacred #Jerry seeing his child emote made him realise he should never have ran away from GM #he realises the “rhea made my bby weird” schtick was nonsensical #and regrets?#the way the game presents its informations though #you're left with his last words being the diary when said diary reflects an opinion he no longer had #FE16 #since the Fodlan verse must always shit on Rhea and the Church this is only said in passing like not the last words we see #and we could never see the resolution of that plot point #granted even in Nopes Jerry thinks the mercenary lifestyle is partly to blame for Billy's uniqueness #then the games completely drop the ball when they reveal Citrus too had the same condition #so Jerry thinking Rhea did something to make a child resemble their mother is completely stupid #but logic isn't Fodlan's forte especially when it comes to pointing at a red herring #only to forget her afterwards
