Welcome to the Inlet

Those who enter the lounge are overcome with a sense of calm. A soft inexplicable voice floats through salt scented air. Inside these walls there is no bloodshed, no worry, only the gentle ambiance of crashing waves and that unending melody. And if your fortunate enough you may even catch a glimpse of the one who sings .

This is The Siren, the proprietor of the Inlet. She wants for very little here in hell. All she wishes for is for people to listen to her sing.

These two here are a couple of The Siren's employees.

The top left is Ripple, she's a waitress who lives at Inlet. Languid and even tempered you can find her drifting through the haze that permeates Inlet. She is everywhere and anywhere inside the lounge, ready to top off your drink. No need to look for her, she'll find you.

And last but not least we have Tack, they are the Bouncer. Like Ripple they too live at Inlet. Tack takes their job very seriously. An immovable wall that guards the entrance to the lounge. Snapping and biting at any who think they can cause trouble here. If for a moment you even think about laying hands on anyone inside of Inlet they will take care of you.

#hazbin hotel #fanart #original characters #my oc art #fish #androgynous characters #not sure if I will do anything with them #but i love them none the less #sirens #my art

Just had a thought,

What if Senju reminds us so much of young Mikey is because she tries to imitate him? Her every action and way of fighting is deliberate, made with a sole thought process of what Mikey is?

No, this is not the shipper in me talking rather I have a feeling this is for Haruichiyo.

Now, this might get a bit messy and my thought process is all over the place, so forgive me if it turns out to be confusing.

When we first meet her – she explains her sole objective is to take down Mikey and in turn Kanto Manji Gang. As we move further into the manga, we also get to know that her current Vice-President is her eldest brother and the current Vice-President of KMG is her second brother. There are still many mysteries around these siblings – so I think Senju had rightfully called themselves as the “Three Mysterious Siblings” (Ch 216)

In the same chapter we also get to know this – even after all these years, Senju is hung up on her second brother – him not acknowledging her, even if Takeomi supports her, Sanzu is not interested in Brahman or regarding her as the leader. She had a wishful gaze as she explained that to Takemitchi. (Sad?)

The recent chapter (ch 263) we also saw that Sanzu had an air of admiration towards Mikey (ripped mouth or not); That means in current timeline (2008) it’s been almost seven eight years of Sanzu obsessing over Mikey. I think when this phase started, he started neglecting everyone who was not upto Mikey’s standard. Since Mikey was taken by Strong individuals then, Sanzu also only acknowledged those who were strong (probably).

Ch 241 states Sanzu was the one who spent most time with Senju; with Takeomi telling him to set good examples for her to follow, even though he got scolded for that sometimes – he was still nice to her. Idk how many people can relate to this, but we all have one favourite sibling we are closest to; we share everything with them and forgive for anything that they do wrong – I think for Senju that sibling was sanzu. She admired him, loved him and wanted him to be with her always.

We saw how derailed Takeomi was after Black Dragons disbanded, it’s okay to say he was not much around, she had only Sanzu to cling onto.

So, when things started to go astray and Sanzu’s admiration towards Mikey grew to the point where he left his sister (Again, I don’t think the whole plane incident was the only reason for their estrangement) – From the way Senju saw it, only Mikey or someone Mikey-like will be able to get Sanzu’s attention.

She started with Strength – Practicing and fighting with Waka and Benkei; thinking of starting her own gang. Trying to look like Mikey.

But her most physical appearances have also resembled early 2005 Mikey, before thing’s started to actually go down the hill for him. I think this is also because, Senju only interacted with Mikey when they were younger, when he didn’t have to shoulder deaths of his siblings and friends.

I think she kept tabs on Toman for a while – don’t know for how long though. But it was definitely till Sanzu became Vice-captain of 5th Division. From where I see it, there was a time when even Mikey had no handle on Sanzu, making Senju worry about his well-being and that made her keep an eye out for him and in turn for Toman. But when he settled into the role of Vice-captain, she kinda stopped? Or had other things to deal with maybe (most likely starting Brahman).

So, when we encounter her in in 2008, the info she has about Toman is that it disbanded, and Mikey instead started KMG – Brahman was a part of this from the start.

But in spite of her trying hard, being regarded as someone who could stand on the same plane as the “Invincible Mikey”; she still failed to get Sanzu to notice her. I think one of the reasons to join Toman 2.0, apart from Takemitchi convincing her, was also to have a chance to talk with Sanzu and get her brother back.

She tried to talk him out of fighting, ready to lose the fight, to leave the whole sibling rivalry thing, but we know what went down after this (I really wanted to snap at sanzu here the way mitsuya did with Taiju that time)

Because, honestly, the more I look at senju, the more she looks and sounds like Mikey (at the same time not, she has this distinct characteristic about her that I just can’t place but it’s there that makes her unique in her own way, but that’s beside the point)

Anyway, that about sums it up.

Toodles!

was thinking about takeshi and how he's my favorite brand of unconditional devotion btw. the utter and absolute and all-consuming kind that runs so deep to the very core and is so intrinsic and fundamental to it, it can only express itself in the most casual and natural and certain way. without second thoughts, without any room for doubts or for any moral dilemma to be had over it, because of course he ought to always be breathing and living for his chosen person first and foremost. of course he ought to hang on their every word and make them true no matter what, no matter what he has to do to make it happen, no matter what he has to do to other people to make it happen, and no matter what it might turn him into in the process. because it's obviously the way the world should be for his chosen person. at their feet, ready to bend over backwards and break and build itself again to better answer to all their needs even if they don't ask it for it. it's the only right way it should be for them, and of course takeshi's going to do his utmost at all times to make it a reality as much as possible.

and his devotion comes out as naturally as breathing, comes out lighthearted and nonchalant like he might as well be talking about the weather, but it's not unaware of itself. it's not that takeshi doesn't know it's unhealthy and wrong and that he's willing to go entirely too far in its name for anyone's good. it's not that he wouldn't hear you out if you were to sit him down and explain to him just why he needs to tone it down a little (a lot). logically, he'd agree with you and know you're right. and then he'd tell you he's still not going to do anything whatsoever about it. that he's not bothered by it and doesn't feel the need to change anything to his attitude. makes it a point to never let anyone or anything sway him even an inch in the stand he took when it comes to that, no matter how many thousand of times you might go over the subject with him.

because the morality of his devotion isn't the point at all. is entirely irrelevant to it and doesn't affect the way he expresses it all. it's not the metric with which he draws a line in the sand to hold it accountable to. because the thing is, takeshi's entire world revolves around tsuna--tsuna is his entire world altogether, and it's just a matter of fact, that simple. to him it's a truth as unchanging as the sky being blue, and so being the way he is according to that truth is the only way he can imagine being that'd feel right to him. and so the actual and only metric that matters here is "would tsuna be happier if i were to do this?" and/or "is this something tsuna needs me to do?"

and like. i don't think takeshi ever stops being a kind person capable of compassion and understanding and mercy and forgiveness even ten years later once they became mafia through and through. and i don't think either he grows up to be feared and called a monster per se despite the things they inevitably had to do during those ten years (and the things they'll inevitably keep having to do as long as they keep being mafia), at least not in the way, for example, they'll never stop fearing and calling mukuro one. but i do think that among the tenth gen, he ends up being the one with the most ruthless, merciless and horrific blood on his hands of that particular and distinct loving kind. you know the one i mean, right? he comes to be the one most expected and the one first expected to be willing and to take it upon himself to go through with it when the need arises. and to think little of it after, if anything at all. all in the name of making tsuna's reign as easy on him as possible.

and it's to the point where it's the kind of blood that makes even mukuro pause at times. or, when takeshi is the one coming up with solutions himself during meetings, makes even reborn blink. not because it's unjustified or wouldn't be safe or efficient or anything of the sort, but because it is unwarrantedly thorough in its retaliation. and sometimes, at times like this, he's the one tsuna needs to step in for the most, because he's the only one who can reason with him that "yes, this would work in getting rid of our problem" but "no, please, don't do that takeshi". because if tsuna is the only thing that infers on just how much and in what ways he'll let himself be devoted to him, then of course, he's also the only one takeshi's willing to reign himself in for without second thoughts. because he'd hate to ever do something tsuna would disapprove of or wouldn't want him to do. or do something that'd make tsuna see him differently or love him back less even in the slightest.

and it's also like. his devotion isn't an undisciplined one. it's not one he doesn't have control over, the very opposite. it's a very purposeful and conscious choice he chooses to keep making over and over again every step of the way, and he taught himself to have control over it, to know when it's needed and/or wanted, and how much and in which ways it is when it happens, and to keep it down otherwise. and, yes, to also reign it back in at tsuna's request at times when it still slips past his control. because it's all about making tsuna's happiness easier and secure and long-lasting, and never about burdening him with just how committed he is to do that.

so it comes down to this: takeshi willing to go above and beyond and more for tsuna unless tsuna explicitly asks him not to. and to tsuna needing to ask him not to every now and then. and to other people pointing out to him how too many times tsuna's already needed to stop him, and that maybe there's a hint for him to take there. and to takeshi seeing the hint, looking it straight in the eye and recognizing it for what it is and just. deciding it doesn't apply to him because it's all perfectly normal behavior to him. because it's the only kind of behavior that makes sense to him and feels right.

and so—to circle back to my first point—he can only express his devotion as naturally as breathing, so casually, almost like it's something inconsequential and not worth talking about despite how unmistakably it couldn't be further away from being the truth. it's the only way he could have always known how to express it, because, after all, who has ever taken time to ponder about the details and the hows of the way they breathe?

and i, for one, absolutely eat that shit up every time, thanks for coming to my ted talk <3

#katekyo hitman reborn #khr #khr meta #can i even call this one?? well i'm going to anyway lol #yamamoto takeshi #sawada tsunayoshi #i've never been normal about devotion in stories and characters and won't ever be so sorry if this doesn't make sense #also this is not to say the 10th gen loves tsuna any less unconditionally this isn't a competition #it's just me saying the particularities and specificities of the way takeshi specifically does it appeal to me the most #which is one of the reasons why i have such a big soft spot for 8027 #and it's not a problem in their relationship either btw that's also not what i'm saying #like tsuna doesn't mind it and absolutely /does/ reciprocate it 100%#he's just careful to keep an eye out so none of them will lose themselves along the way #also this is within the context of me shifting canon slightly to the left in the way where the 10th gen loves tsuna /so much/#they could just as well actually and properly worship him as a god and it still wouldn't make a single difference #and me liking to lean into that fully and taking it to extremes and it inevitably becoming some extent of dark #because considering the environment canon makes them express it (the mafia) it's like. well how else are they meant to keep it alive #and make sure it survives through it without giving it sharp teeth and claws and jagged edges of its own you know?#so if you feel like this is some kind of ooc-ness you're not wrong #but also consider: i'm not wrong either <3 #anyway consider also: unconditional devotion running /so/ deep down to your marrow and to your very essence #even in the face of the whole world telling you how wrong it is and how insane and unhinged you are for it and condemning you for it #it still wouldn't so much as make you consider the thought they might have a point #and i genuinely EAT that shit up every time i love to see it <3

These Nimona headcanons have been sitting in my notes for like two weeks

I just know Bal and Ambrosius were those kids who had to be put on opposite sides of the room in class

And a lot of teachers assumed that they would just give up and pay attention but no

They’re some stubborn little shits who can't leave each other alone for more than five minutes

And while they were on their breaks they went through the options of “long-distance” communication (because yes these dramatic dorks consider ten feet long distance)

Notes? No that could be tracked back to them

Sign language? No that's too noticeable

They finally landed on morse code (because these losers would rather learn a dead language than wait to talk to each other)

Now you might be thinking “Roo wouldn't Bal be too focused on the lesson to talk to Ambrosius?”

No this little nerd records all of their lessons so he won’t miss a single piece of information

After they became fluent the only thing you could hear in class was the teacher talking some tapping here and there and Ambrosius and Bal holding back laughter with every fiber in their being

I also know these dorks would choose each other for every single activity

It got to a point where teachers would beg them to choose other people

They would listen for like one day and then go back to working with each other

These losers have known each other for so long that they can read each other's minds

All they have to do is look at each other and they’re angry or laughing or blushing

When people point it out Ambrosius will say he doesn’t even notice it anymore

Bal will say it’s as natural as breathing

And Nimona calls it creepy as fuck

They could also fill a book with the most random inside jokes most of which they don’t even really remember the context of

The main trio are fiercely protective of each other

Bal only got into a handful of fights back in the institute and it was all because someone got a little too comfortable and started talking shit about Ambrosius

People lost count of how many fights that Ambrosius got into

After a while Bal stopped wasting his breath by begging Ambrosius just to ignore them and bought a cool quality medkit

The number of fights Bal got into skyrocketed after the wall fell

While the majority of society saw the trio as heroes there were still some who called Nimona a monster and Ambrosius a disgrace

And most of those people couldn’t say anything afterward because their jaws were broken

There was an incident in the market which was could be summed up as Ambrosius holding a man at knife point while threatening to cut his tongue out if he ever heard him call Bal a murderer again

After Nimona came back the fights increased tenfold

The first time Nimona and Ambrosius went to the market alone they came back bloody and bruised

It wasn’t until Bal checked the news that he found out those dorks started a fucking riot

There were also rumors that a man was missing a tongue but Bal hoped those were just rumors

One time the three of them went out to dinner and some dumbass tried to jump them

They claimed that it’s what Gloreth would have wanted

Bal had to drag Ambrosius off of him while Nimona was egging him on

The first time that Nimona and Bal kidnapped Ambrosius from his office was undeniably the worst

He hadn’t eaten or slept in days and he looked like he was ready to keel over

And a couple of people dared to try and stop them

Claiming Ambrosius “still had work to do”

Nimona looked them dead in the eyes and said “If you don’t let us walk out of here I’ll make sure you never walk again”

No one argued with them after that

Bal told Nimona he was proud of them for keeping their cool

And Nimona replied “Thanks but I definitely broke someone’s foot on the way out”

He couldn’t even get mad at her because he broke someone’s hand

Bal says they’re the reason he’s getting grays in his early 20s

To which Ambrosius responds “Moonbeam you came home yesterday with a broken nose and busted knuckles don’t talk to me about gray hair”

I love sashisu because they all very much love each other and are best friends but the shoko erasure is so blatant that it makes for a very interesting dynamic. Like yeah obviously she was part of everything that happened. Not that any of them would realise if you asked them though.

#shoko included btw. shes like yeah im not getting involved in whatever those two have going on <- literally already involved #this isnt talking bad abt sashisu btw. i love sashisu. i think theyre so so interesting #like theyre so questionable! they love each other! none of them have Actually Spoken to one another in 10 years!#me when i was there too idiot #ik theres jjk takes where shoko isnt as important to stsg/just there to be the lesbian friend and i hear those takes!#and reject them immediately.#look i just rlly love shoko and i think sashisu are soo cool and fun and horrible and queerplatonic #but its time to recognise that all three of them (and also canon and also the fandom) are making shoko smaller/less important than she is #we have all that stsg drama and shoko (there for it) just goes yeah okay. bye i guess.#god i just love them.. trio of all time fr... its very late so this probably doesnt make sense but whateverrrr #gojo satoru #getou suguru #geto suguru #ieri shoko #jjk #jujutsu kaisen #sashisu #sss trio #stormy in here #theyre my faves..

I don’t understand Daenerys Targaryen antis.

You’ve got the show where all your theories about how the former bridal slave/revolutionary will go mad and be murdered by her lover whilst in the middle of intimacies came true.

The evolution of George R.R. Martin's stance from "only the books are canon" to "there are two different canons" should have provided some resolution to the endless fandom debates, but yet here we are.

The white revolutionary is dead, all your also white faves were able to ride off into the sunset. Every named person of colour except for Greyworm is dead and if we're being real, Greyworm is off to die offscreen. Westeros is white again, you won. Whatever winning means in this context. What more do you want?

People have spent years tirelessly attempting to draw parallels between the show's narrative and the book's trajectory, even where these parallels do not exist. You make a post about the book version of Daenerys Targaryen, and her antis scream at you in the comments about how she's a mass-murdering slaver. They never have proof to back this up.

At this point, it has become concerning. What motivates such a fervent desire to witness a 16-year-old die again on the blade of a man (preferably a relative)? It has been years and people are still writing shitty meta with haphazardly edited quotes from the books to prove that Daenerys will eventually go the way of her father.

Interestingly, Young Griff and Jon never seem to suffer this fate, even though they share a mad grandfather and prophecy-obsessed (according to the fandom) father.

Simply saying Daenerys will not die at the end of the series elicits a tremendous amount of vitriol. The show should be enough, replay the scene where Jon stabs her in the heart and savour it. For the love of all that is holy, please stop trying to impose show Dany on book Dany. They are two different characters.

#I love show Dany too #this is not an indictment against her #In the words of Emilia Clarke #I stand by Daenerys #daenerys targaryen #you will always be loved by me #She is the best Targ and no one comes close to her #even my non-Dany faves #some share similarities with her but Dany is the best of her house #but none of them come close.#also doing my reread has made my indifference to Jon less #I don't love him but I am also less annoyed by him and you know what #I'll take it.#a win is a win #asoiaf #game of thrones

ok but the thing is shadow and infinite isnt a "healthy" or "good" relationship at first. it takes them years to be good for each other. they shouldn't have been together! they should have broken up years ago! but they didn't and they are working through it and eventually things work out. EVENTUALLY Infinite stops enabling Shadow's self destructive behavior and EVENTUALLY Shadow stops tolerating the admittedly unacceptible way Infinite treats him.

See, Infinite doesn't know what it's like to be with someone who doesn't want to hurt him even a little. Every relationship he's ever been in has been a really unhealthy and dangerous power dynamic (he's been the weak one and the strong one before). It takes him YEARS DECADES maybe even CENTURIES to realize Shadow is NOT LIKE THAT. Shadow didn't even really want to specifically hurt Infinite when they first encountered each other in the Mystic Ruins. He was just doing a job. It takes Infinite such a long time to understand that. He's so obsessed with Shadow but he has this one conflicting core understanding with Shadow that he simply cannot wrap his head around. He needs to stay in control so that "when Shadow tries to fuck him over he has a way to regain the upper hand."

Shadow thinks he's lesser than everyone, even Infinite. Even though Infinite literally started a war and wanted to destroy everything just because he was bored. If Infinite wants all the power over him, Shadow is okay with that because surely he deserves it for being such a miserable creature. When Infinite calls him names and treats him poorly he just lets it happen because Infinite is the first person he's met in a long time who will treat him in a way he understands. To Shadow, this is unfortunately what true love looks like. Being attacked is familiar, and Shadow knows that when people are kind to him he doesn't know how to deal with it. He thinks Infinite is giving him a form of stability that he can't live without.

What's confusing for both of them is that they do have moments of tenderness, and they do have inexplicable boundaries that they never cross with each other. They've never discussed their limits, but there are things they would never do to each other because it'd be too much.

They have moments of vulnerability, where they are just sitting beside each other and Infinite is telling Shadow how beautiful he is. And Shadow believes it because he's pretty sure that Infinite wouldn't waste his time being nice if he didn't mean it. Shadow introduced Infinite to a part of himself he didn't know existed, a part of himself that doesn't want to have to try to hard to reach for the top. But that vulnerability is terrifying at first and neither of them want to acknowledge it. It just happens and then its back to business as usual again. They don't talk about it.

They will do things to each other that cause conflict or anger, enable each other's worst habits, but they won't try to change each other's identities. That's the hard limit. They might have an argument where they harp on each other's bad behavior, but it's just talk. They'd never do anything to each other that would actively contribute to a crisis because one thing they both understand on a fundamental level is that changing the answers to core questions like "What is my purpose?" or "What do I believe is right?" is mind breaking. They never force each other to do things that challenge the status quo or threaten to shake their already deteriorating stability.

But this boundary is also part of the problem. They, for a long time, don't let each other grow and absolutely get worse! They break each other down, but they keep making excuses for why they should stay together. People who constantly fight with each other should not be together!

And when I say "together" I don't really mean together. Their relationship is a situationship at best, but Infinite still refers to Shadow as his boyfriend. Shadow insists they aren't even friends, but doesn't really passionately refute when Infinite says they are together. He just deflects. Of course he wants to be Infinite's partner, but that commitment is terrifying and he doesn't get how Infinite can be ready to commit like that even though it's been YEARS. It feels so impermanent because Shadow's perception of time is based on his immortality. That's one thing Infinite doesn't have (doesn't really think he has).

Two things jade them: time and people.

Shadow and Infinite won't challenge each other's core values, but time and people will. For Shadow, this comes in the form of his admittedly slightly larger support system: people like Rouge Amy and Big especially, but also Sonic to some degree. Infinite stagnates. His only support system is Shadow, really. He also has, like, Big and Sonic and Wave, but he isn't ever vulnerable with them in the way Shadow is with his. Shadow starts to grow, Infinite doesn't.

Infinite is definitely the worse off in this relationship. Shadow always knew that. They both knew it when they got together. Shadow has a savior complex. He thought he could fix it.

It in fact gets worse. Infinite is just bound to break that unspoken boundary they set, and Shadow has to put his foot down. Only then do they break all of their walls down and talk about those unacknowledgable moments. Only then do they get better. They can't work out unless they start to see each other as equals, but it's a really slow process for them to explore what that looks like or how its possible.

#infinite the jackal #shadow the hedgehog #shadfinite #infinadow #textpost #squid screams #i also have some ocs relevant to this #but i havent mentioned them here yet #so less confusing not to mention them #theres also more about shadows savior complex #but its kind of self projecting and #doesnt fit with the point im trying to make #shadow and infinite have an open relationship which is part of #the reason they eventually grow #because if they were isolated they'd probably just kill each other #i didnt get to it much here but infinite being the first one shadow #feels real kinship with is important because its a gateway to self love #which shadow has none of lol #and in turn shadow is a gateway for infinite inti trusting others #ill make a different post about that later #guys they are so important to me #i could say words about them forever #THE POINT IS THEY ARE TOXIC #THE POINT IS THEY WORK TOGETHER TO FIX IT #THE POINT IS NOT EVERYTHING IS PERFECT ALL THE TIME #AND JUST BECAUSE ITS BROKEN DOESNT MEAN IT CANT BE FIXED!!!!!#BAD RELATIONSHIPS ARE NOT A LOST CAUSE #ITS POSSIBLE FOR BAD PEOPLE TO TURN AROUND #i have catholic guilt. what about it?

While I do think that them having kids of their own is super cute and such a nice thing for them both, I am personally a Vash and Wolfwood adopting children truther. Best part is it was Not Even On Purpose.

The times are less aggressive, their lives are less violent (compared to before) and they are both a lot more free. They aren’t used to living a settled life, in spite of finally having a little home of their own at the outskirts of December.

They still travel around without an aim or clear purpose most often than not. They would visit old friends and the times they decided to stay in a place for a bit longer would either be at Home or the Hopeland Orphanage.

They like it that way. It’s familiar and they don’t have to watch for their heads as much as they did before. They are finally experiencing a much more gentler life of their own.

I imagine them stumbling with some kids, let’s say three, that live on their own in one of their trips. They offer to bring them to the Hopeland Orphanage like they usually do to orphaned kids, so they can live more peacefully. They accept after some more convincing.

During that trip they get to live a bit more closely with the children compared to the way they do with the kids back at the orphanage. They love them oh they do, with all their heart, but the closeness they experience with everyone at the orphanage is more of a caretaker sort of approach and nothing as intimate as taking care of them so personally.

The bumpy trip basically obligated them to be more close to the kids, spending nights and days with them, protecting them from danger, cooking meals for their little group of five, spending a few days in different towns to unwind and buy more resources. It was nice, traveling together like that (even if it did get a little dangerous every now and then when they stumbled upon a fight or two).

The kids start to get very attached to them, and both Vash and Wolfwood admittedly were feeling the same way too. They knew they couldn’t keep the kids, not with their wanderers life style and the danger that was still always present (not as terrible as before, but trouble would always be a part of them as it seemed).

Once they got to December to finally leave the kids at the Orphanage, they decide it’s a good time for them to have one of their long stays at the orphanage until their next trip. All of the kids love them both, and they return the sentiment as well. However, it’s evident how their closeness was bigger with the kids they just traveled around with. They knew a bit more about each other with more precision, they were a bit more affectionate with them, the kids would look for Wolfwood and Vash so they could spend more time together. It wasn’t rare for the kids to go and sleep with either of them at night or taking naps with them, but those three particular children would always sleep with them, all snuggled up and warm in their embrace.

It was nice, it almost felt like a little family of their own. Wolfwood remembers how nice it was to live in the orphanage with the other kids, and Vash loved his time with Rem and Knives when they were little, not to mention the people at Home later on, but neither of them really had a grasp of something in their lives they could call wholly theirs, something stable, something constant.

Their stay at the orphanage lasted from their usual month and a half to two months, and then three, until they thought it was a good time for some time of their own back at their little house (living with so many kids always around the corner didn’t provide much space for privacy, much less now that the three kids would follow them as if they were their shadows).

The kids were disappointed and a little sad that their time to leave had come already, even if they had stayed longer than what they usually did this time. Their three little kids were the ones that looked the most anguished from them all, and neither Nick or Vash missed that detail.

When they arrived to their home, they cleaned first, the dust had settled in their house and they could barely move without gusts of it coming to invade their lungs. After they quickly got rid of the most they could they finally got to rest and get some alone time of their own.

The days passed, and the quiet time between them was appreciated, but it felt a bit too quiet. They had quickly grown used to the noise that came with being around the kids in that short time. Maybe it was thanks to the fact that their lives were much kinder now, but something inside of them itched at the thought of not having the kids by their side, of not being together.

They knew what it was after sparing it a second to think of it a bit more.

“You know, I think it would be nice if we stay in here for a bit longer” Vash said out of the blue one day while they were making breakfast together, a soft and genuine smile hanging on his face.

“Yeah, I was thinking the same thing” Wolfwood answered back with a smile of his own, focused at chopping a portion of vegetables a bit too big for two people, it was probably enough to feed five mouths perhaps.

#they adopt the three of them at the end #and none of them are siblings. they are just three random kids that decided to stick together.#I imagine the younger being about three or four and the oldest about eleven or twelve #yk what maybe they -will- have their own offspring (yes I will use that term OQNWN) a little later down the line #and the three kids would love their new little baby sibling so much they would protect them with their lives #and it’s a sweet sight because they all finally have the family they always wished to have #the kids at the orphanage are like their extended family too. treating them like their kids as well #but it’s a little different when you live with the gremlins 24/7 #they would still travel. but less often and for less longer #avoiding trouble at all costs. and the kids like it. traveling together getting to know new places and all. family trip!#I just think they deserve to have a little happy family of their own. it’s even sweeter when you think that they are all adopted in some way #imagine how fucking cool it would be to have so many plant aunts and extended family in the orphanage #they are a huge family in their own way and they are happy #delulu hours are always open #trigun #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #vashwood #vash #wolfwood #nicholas trigun #lenssi writes #trigun fanfiction #if you will. just kind of. it’s not fleshed out it’s just a very vague thought it occurred to me while I was eating a churro

obligatory intermittent post once again requesting more people make pjo askblogs. pretty pretty please. they're very fun I promise and askblogs are a dying species. i'm very sad that for like the past 6 years there's usually only been one or two riordanverse askblogs active and I'm one of them.

"but i can't-" there's options! text-based askblogs! illustrated/drawn-response askblogs! cosplay askblogs! voice acting askblogs! combinations of the above! whatever else your heart desires! get funky with it! getting funky with it is really cool!

also do your local askblogs a favor and send them some asks sometimes. here's a list of illustrated pjo askblogs I have curated, and a list of other formats of pjo askblogs. I'm also working on another list of general askblogs so if you have any other askblogs you should tell me about those ones too.

#pjo #riordanverse #askblog #askblogs #STARING WITH MY BIG OL' EYES. PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE MAKE PJO ASKBLOGS #also did i make this post half to link askblog examples because i will take any opportunity to promote askblogs especially friends?#....perhaps. reyna if you see this i know your blog isnt an askblog anymore but i love u friendo #and you have one of the best clear pjo examples of the typical cosplay askblog format #also i know you and none of the other cos askblogs are. alive. and i didnt want to link to a stranger's dead cos blog that feels rude #plus i know you still cosplay pjo #i would link Gray's Alex askblog as well but there's a lot of reblogs and not a lot of ask-responses on there so its a less clear example #love u too though Gray your Alex blog is very nice and it is also in my other list so it's still there kinda #anyways ASKBLOGS YIPPEE #askblogs are so cool #tell me about your askblogs if you have them i love hearing about them #i dont follow all of the ones i linked but theyre all good examples of what's typical for that format #or an atypical format thats neat (utahlive & infinityroom)#wireman is also kind of atypical for a text-based askblog but it's a VERY nice example of what you can do with that format #besides the typical chat response format

finding a character that grates against your nerves and eventually thinking, well, that's not fair, you haven't done anything; why do i dislike you? and then you dwell on this for a while and discover 'oh! you are like me when i was younger' and decide well, i'll simply learn how to love the both of you. power in this.

#N posts stuff #'what are you talking about?' fuck if i know.#but also i'm talking about penny from 'the 7' -- nosy little control freak determined to find Some foothold into Every conversation #it's interesting bc sometimes when i watch i'm like 'this character is played on the Border of metagaming' but the more i think abuot it #the less it Feels like metagaming bc penny Genuinely seems Exactly like the kind of person who just Is That Determined to be #some level of involved in Every situation; 'yeah i know that show you were in' 'Yeah i was listening into this scene from a different hall'#equal parts her being a Rogue character to her core AND her borderline pathological need for control in Every situation #w/ None of the social grace needed to temper this impulse into something more broadly 'palatable' -> very autistic to me in a way #'i don't Get It but if i'm Always Right then that's good bc it's Bad to be Wrong so i just have to Know Everything so that i'm Never Wrong'#or like 'no i don't understand the Rules right but if i can just Be In Charge of the Situation at all times then i'm the one domineering #where this is going and how it unfolds; like if i'm in charge i understand That at least so i will just Always be in charge'#and sometimes this starts fights with your friends and they call you a freak for it and you're like 'hm. i don't know what's going on #but if You said it and You Get People then you must be right so. i will alter this immediately' but penny doesn't have that interaction #because her friends are just like 'yeah i love you And that batshit way of interacting with the world that you embody' and there is a #temptation of sorts to be like 'penny you HAVE to stop that; you NEED to learn that lesson please' but then like. hm. does she?#much to think about. i don't interact w/ people enough anymore for this to impact my interactions with real people lol #but it Is interesting to peel apart a fictional character and find a Younger You in there. i can change how i think about Them at least

you know if we do accept the last epilogue-esque sequence as a sort of dream/wish of ted's and therefore not necessarily canon, very funny if we then simply go "yeah, trent's book is called 'the lasso way' actually. he didn't change that. nope."

#listen on one hand #i think that like #i don't think ted actually changed trent's mind about the title #i think trent changed it because ted asked him to #and like that's especially interesting bc he even made a point of being like #'tell me if you disagree with anything and i'll tell you why you're wrong'#but he respects ted; more than that he likes him and he wants him to like the book--like him #anyone else and trent would have told them to fuck off but ted? ted asking him to change the title? yeah #i think he didn't agree with 'it not being about him'--and not bc of any feelings he may have for ted--but if we accept that him changing #the title is canon then like. he did it because ted asked. nothing more nothing less #maybe he felt he owed it to ted as the subject of the book; maybe he just respected him too much not to #maybe it's partially bc of his feelings; maybe it's because he just couldn't say no to ted #but it's ultimately just. because ted asked him.#and trent respects him; trusts him; cares about him #and that's pretty heartwrenching #but like on the other hand if we say 'no that was ted's wishufl thinking trent definitely went 'sorry ted it's called the lasso way''#also like.... him being like. like quietly not changing it and if ted said something him just. being like #ted. i respect you. i care about you. i trust you. but with all due respect absolutely not #yes it isn't ONLY about you but YOU made this happen. YOU are special and YOU have a place here whether you can stay forever or not #yes it's about the team and the coaches yes you aren't a one man band but ted. TED. you touched lives. you changed lives. and that was YOU.#that was you and your philosophy and your attitude.#you made richmond what it is today. yes the team deserve credit too for the kind of bond they have now but YOU facilitated that #none of the coaches currently here woudl be coaches if not for you. the diamond dogs wouldn't exist. literally every single one #of our friends--OUR friends--wouldn't be where they are and probably wouldn't be as happy #you got through to people over and over again who were hurting and lashing out. to rebecca. to roy. to jamie. to nate. to me.#and you can be humble but there's being humble and there's acting like you don't matter to any of us like you didn't have an impact #like you can just leave without a trace. we don't blame you for leaving--i especially don't--but acting like we won't miss you and like #your time with all of us--our time--meant nothing is more insulting than it is humble because we /love you/#and yes. it was the goddamn lasso way that built this place #this community.
