Ohio republicans trying to hold an election they hoped would go unnoticed in order to deny Ohioans simple majority rule (changing it from 50% to 60% majority), only for it to be one of the highest voter turnouts for an August election ever in the state AND the votes against them being 60%+ anyway? Lol. Lmao even.

Jamie is so only child (self-involved, has to be the center of attention, doesn't know how to interact with his peers) while Roy is so eldest child (bossy, overprotective, aggressive, high-strung), which simultaneously creates a harmonious and mutually fulfilling dynamic (guy who demands constant special attention from authority figures x guy who needs to boss somebody around all the time or he'll lose it) and enormous strain (guy who refuses to play nice with the other kids x self-appointed Playground Supervisor)

Profiles in Villainy

The Delightful Children From Down The Lane

Equal parts victims as they are villains, young Bruce, David, Alessandra, Lenny and Constance are the decorous and genteel agents of the nefarious cad known only as 'Father.'  The true origins of these children remain unknown.  At some point they came under the spell of Father who ‘Delightfulized’ them, a potent psychological conditioning that fully suppresses all willfulness, rambunctiousness and independence in children.  This made them the perfect children in Father’s eyes: well-mannered, obedient, respectful to their elders and unquestionably loyal to Father’s diabolical schemes of conquest. 

These Delightful Children From Down The Lane came to be primary antagonists to the young agents of Codename: Kids Next Door.  They employ advanced technology ranging from giant robots to freeze rays in their mission to take down The Kids Next Door once and for all.  Fortunately, the Kids have always managed to stay a step ahead, evading the delightful children's attacks, and thwarting Father’s plots. 

The Delightful Children From Down The Lane are voiced by actors Benjamin Diskin, Dee Bradley Baker and Cree Summer.  The young villains first appeared in the debut episode of Codename: Kids Next Door, airing on December 6th, 2002.

yay finally posting art that isn't special interest related! hgjfhjgf

The newest batch of Cookie children, me and Caviar's children, Golden Roe and Sea Salt Lemonade (design adopted from xxdolliefluffxx)! Roe is our bio son while Lemonade is our adopted daughter because Caviar and I both fell in love with her when we found her <3 ; w ;

Golden Roe isn't a part of the navy, but like his father he is a captain of a ship! While his interest in sailing is more for the sport, as he is a sailboat racer. He is confident, gutsy, and lively, with a true love of sailing and the sea. (And all the gold coins from winning races isn't too bad either!)

Sea Salt Lemonade was an orphan cookie until she boldly marched up Caviar and demanded to work as a deck hand on his ship. When we both found out she was an orphan we adopted her on the spot! Lemonade is brave, spunky, mischievous, and has a deep love for her family. She often tries to sneak aboard her father and older brother's ships because she doesn't like being left behind due to her age and wants to have adventures on sea with her whole family!

@feysandfeels sending me an acotar tiktok that got me thinking yet again about how Lucien would’ve had that curse broken in like, 10 minutes if Tamlin and his lack of rizz would’ve just moved out of the way. No one can resist his charm 😏😂

I need people on dating apps to fix their reading comprehension so fucking fast. I swear, if one more person who wants kids tries to match with me, I will scream.

i’m sorry for the awful all of it but here’s that lore olympus panel but it’s vito corleone telling his son not to be ashamed of his heritage

[ID: a line drawing; a young michael corleone cries as robert de niro-era vito corleone says “There is nothing wrong with being raised in one of our motherland’s greatest regions. Never apologize for being Sicilian, Michael.” /end ID]

I'm incredibly uncomfortable with how many children are watching Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss. I keep seeing children, not teenagers, CHILDREN posting their ages in comment sections and the fact that I HARDLY see the adults calling this out and instead would rather argue about ships and holding accountable FICTIONAL CHARACTERS is genuinely concerning.

Yes, nobody owns looking out for other people's children on the internet, but you would expect some maturity out of a fandom which cartoon actually tackles complex themes of life issues.

⸻ ❗❗ CW: DEATH. ❗❗

On 5 SEPTEMBER, a beloved Sky player named VIOLETTA passed away due to a very, very long battle with leukemia. I had found out that she actually was following me on Instagram, and I felt super duper heartbroken that I never got the chance to know her or even reached out for anything .... but having read all of the comments on her death announcement post, she was a very loving, compassionate woman and mother who brought radiance with her wherever she went. I was a month late making this (due to energy slumps + focus issues, mental illness n' PCOS sure is fun), but I just COULD NOT go without making some sort of tribute for her ......

TELFOSO, my beloved little goddess, takes in this Child of Light into her sacred Heaven, for it's genuine souls like her who are guaranteed a place in it (or whatever one believes awaits us.).

Rest in peace, Miss Violetta. 🎔 With much love from Telfoso and I.

An almost 30 year old throwing a temper tantrum sending harassment and falsely accusing users of stalking because they interacted with/made a weird April fools parody account of them 😐

were all for prison abolition and transformative justice until i say "the man who abused me as a young teen is not in a place where he has access to children or women so i dont want to pursue any judicial action against him, and also i understand that while the abuse he put me through was extreme and awful, he was young, traumatized, endured abused himself, and abusing multiple substances and i dont believe he is the same person he was at the time", at which point everyone looks at me with pity and concern and tells me i dont have to make excuses for him and im allowed to hate him and etc etc. like yeah i do hate him. im capable of thinking past hatred, being reasonable about the situation, and maintaining my political ideals even when it comes to things personal to me, so that when i say "everyone deserves a chance at rehabilitation" i dont conveniently make an exception for the guy who hurt me personally.. anyway.
