I headcannon that after 3rd Kinslaying, and especially after Elrond and Elros left them in whatever fashion, Maedhros was a total dick to Maglor.

You know how sometimes old or sick people are nice to neighbours/nurses/strangers, but are horrible to their primal caretakers? That's them.

People aren't dicks to their caretakers just to be dicks - it's because they are often frustrated with themselves or their situation and don't know how else to deal with it or they can't deal with it the usual way. It also happens because, paradoxally, they feel safe around their caretakers - you can be a dick because you know they won't leave just because of that.

And boy, did Maglor cast himself in a role of caretaker (let's not kid ourselves, he wasn't qualified, and with his own problems to boot), and BOY, did Maedhros resent him for it. He did not NEED help, he did not DESERVE help, he's not another kidnapped child MAGLOR, I'M the older brother, I should take care of YOU YOU WRECK, WHY DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO BABYSIT YOU GROW UP ALREADY and leave me Nothing is EVER your fault, even when you left me to Angband as you should Why would you care now, it amounted to NOTHING before, it's WORTHLESS

And about half the time Maglor just takes it, actually likes it even. Mostly because of his guilt complex about how he deserves it, but also because Maedhros is only like this with him - he's trying his best to pretend to be fine and be a leader to few followers they have left, because they deserve better and that's the only thing he can give them now, and their brothers are all dead and would always be Too Little to act like that around them anyway. Maedhros would behave himself even around Fingon, to make him think rescuing him was worth something. So by being a dick to Maglor, Meadhros sees him as an equal, a safe haven. Maglor basks in that.

But obviously no one could just take such abuse like it's nothing, and Maglor is a Feanorian too, is prideful and stubborn, with his own laundry list of complains about Maedhros, and also unwell, and also thought of a new insult while lying awake at night and just wants to yell too. So half the time Maglor yells back and their yelling matches would bring orcs to tears, with hate and blame dripping from every word. I don't have enough imagination to picture it realistically, and actually I don't want to, it's too heartbreaking.

And sometimes, one or the other just starts crying. They don't talk about these times.

After some time, their arguments and insults are just a noise, something to repeat endlessly to the point of boredom.

By then, what actually hurts are the words that were not meant to harm.

Example 1:

Maedhros: 'did an all-night inspection of their stores cause he couldn't sleep' I found a herb you always liked to wash your hair with.

Maglor: 'doesn't remember last time he washed his hair, no less scented them'

Maglor: 'choked up' Appreciated.

Example 2:

Maedhros: 'feels like he's dragging Maglor to damnation with him' You could go with the twins, you know.

Maglor: 'doesn't want to upset Maedhros today so decides to pretend as if that was actually an option' Vanyar would probably like my singing but you know they would get mad at you for having better battle plans than them.

Maedhros: 'now KNOWS he's dragging Maglor to damnation with him'

Maedhros: 'dying inside' Of course they would.

When love hurts, it's easier to be a dick.

#maedhros #maglor #silmarillion #silm #barely related but it plays into my headcannon that when nerdanel didn't went with them and feanor died #maglor and maedhros became New Mom and Dad for the rest of Feanorians #not even with any creepy context from them it was an automatic process #oh Mom left Dad Maglor is similiar to her guess Maglor is New Mom #oh Dad's dead? Maedhros is New Dad #boom problem solved #when Maedhros was unwell after Tears Celegorm got to be Dad for some time #it's so unhealthy when you look from the outside #it's unrelated to anything except Maglor as New Mom resents any mentions of abandoning the others #Maglor is NOTHING like Nerdanel #THIS mom won't leave anyone thank you very much #and then Maedhros stays in Angband for 30 years lmao #so unhealthy #angst I guess #I feel it went in different direction than it started but eh

Hi, I’m jumping on the Separated AU train, but I’ve taken all the angst out and decided that Having Children Softens You Actually.

Mikey is found by Lieutenant and Brute (who are a couple, fight me) and is raised by them. It was funnier to have a Dr Delicate Touch moment with his Big Sister Cass but he’s still the artsy fun-loving kid and his dads are so so proud of him and hang up all his art. His puppy dog eyes sway every decision the Foot Clan makes.

Draxum hangs on to Donnie and Wow Being A Dad Is A Lot Of Work. He’ll often say he’s learned more from his son than he’s ever taught him. Donnie’s intense interest in the mechanical perfectly balances and compliments Draxum’s mastery of the mystic. Their expertise fills in where the other’s fall short and together they create the wildest things that benefit all yokai.

Big Mama and Little Raphie. He’s the last piece of her Lou she has left and she fiercely protects him. He has participated in the Battle Nexus, but more for fun than obligation. He’s a favorite match for other competitors since he doesn’t believe in “finishing the job” (and because Big Mama would never ever allow him to be in a to-the-death match). Mama doesn’t have a lot of time for Evil when she’s too busy doting on her turtley-poo.

I said I’d leave the angst out, so we’re not gonna talk about Splinter and Leo. 🙃

Have you seen Lilia's vignette yet? Our insight into his initial parenting skills sure was, something.

HA HA YEP, Lilia's. questionable parenting has come up a few times and it's always, like, he read Baby Instructions 101 and went "ooh, I like red, I'll do those ones :)". he has Dad Instincts, but unfortunately they are Stereotypical '90s Sitcom Dad Instincts.

it was, however, worth it to see Sebek (watching Lilia gleefully dunking a bat into a coffee cup) just slowly turn to Silver and go "how the fuck are you alive".

#twisted wonderland spoilers #also sebek: 'for the first time in my life i feel respect for you as a person'#it's okay even the bat was like 'no it's cool he's doing his best'#'he's my dad now and i will never leave him'#silver's childhood was literally a tom and jerry cartoon huh #fortunately dr. zigvolt(!) and mrs. dr. zigvolt(!!!) were like 'oh my god' and swiftly intervened/made lilia step up his fucking game #they continue to be the absolute best characters despite never actually appearing #also just absolutely delighted by malleus' mom energy in this one #'why aren't they back yet. they're going to miss dinner. :('#then when they finally show up: 'it's not like you have a curfew i just want to know if you're going to be back late'#i half expected him to be like 'but i made SPAGHETTI'#i mean yes canonically he doesn't cook (except eggs once) but he just has spaghetti vibes. you know.

Pretty much my ideal dcxdp coexisting world

Danny had all his canon happen before Bruce and the JL started their vigilante careers

Before Bruce was born or Martha and Thomas even got married

Phantom Planet never happened and the world never realized that they were almost dead in the first place (I apologize for mentioning it)

Danny retires after blowing up the portal and designing a new system of gov for the Infinite Realms (why the hell is that a monarchy anyway? Fighting being a way of communicating AND the way of determining a ruler does not make sense so I'll choose the better one)

Danny still visits the Infinite Realms but mostly lives his life

He still has interesting things happen to him but more because he apparently has a curse placed on him than anything else 'may you live in interesting times'

Danny manipulates the curse by getting into situations on purpose and then resolving them without getting attention drawn to his civilian id and normal life

He keeps track of immortals and big names that deal with death magic so as to lower the chances of being summoned

The more powerful the Realm Being the more powerful the summoner has to be to summon them and with how powerful Danny is there aren't many he has to keep an eye on

Ra's has been losing Lazarus water at a steady rate for over a decade but only now has it become a noticeable loss. The day the that he notices is a Very Bad Day for the League of Assassins (the day Danny lets himself get caught satisfies his curse for 2 whole months)

Danny hasn't aged much at all since he left Amity at 17. He's still short but mimics the effects of age with stage makeup and other tools used by actors to look older they actually are. This is how he meets a certain Alfred P. who remains a good friend even though they never really meet in person.

His parents blow themselves up and wipe their house off the map when tinkering with a device designed to lure realm beings to them. Danny isn't really sorry they're gone. He finds out after leaving Amity that he wasn't really their kid and he wasn't even adopted. They made him in their lab while distracted from their obsession with ghosts then completely forgot they had done so when they refocused on ghosts. His growth chamber (terrible name) was coated in ecto which allowed the device to reactivate and allow Danny to finish incubating into a toddler then (suspicious) it mysteriously popped him out before his the fentons noticed the growth chambers success.

His parents never took any notes on the clone experiment out of the house due to it being a (perceived) failure. After going back to their ghost obsession they completely forgot about it so no one knows. Jazz only found after Danny told her and he only found out after growing older and continuing to look less and less like either of his parents.

Danny finds the notes and that's what inspires him to leave Amity, to start looking for his bio parent. The Fenton's had no clue that the clone they grew was Danny. They dismantled the growth chamber when Danny was four (actually two) and never realized that the toddler they adopted was the clone of wonder woman they made. They never said anything to anyone about Danny being adopted so Vlad has no idea that Danny isn't Maddie's child.

Vlad starts to age drastically after the portals are destroyed and Danny figures out that Vlad isn't a halfa after all. He's just a normal ghost who can prey on people like spectra but with an obsession directed at Maddie originally and then Danny. Afterwards Vlad gets shunted off into Walker's prison because of all the toxic and human crimes he's committed among them brainwashing, mind control and mind wiping various wealthy and not so wealthy individuals into giving Vlad their money and companies.

Ellie has to explore the Infinite Realms (literally Infinite though so she's not confined) only because she can't really produce her own ecto. She has to absorb it from her surroundings so she can wander safely all over the Infinite Realms (so long as she calls for help when she gets in over her head) but not the human realms unless she takes a buddy who can produce a steady stream of ecto for her.

Vlad makes Danny his heir so now he's rich enough to travel even after giving all the people Vlad stole from their money back. It turns out that Vlad was good with making more money once he had it.

just Danny being a crptoid for the entire magical community and them being unable to talk about it if they even know of him

while danny runs a NASA and space account where he talks about NASA's recent achievements, newly discovered stars, planets and new alien races that Earth has been in contact with

Draxum is a fearsome commander and warring warrior scientist, but he's also a Dad and does exactly what Dads do.

#except my dad he used the names of our pets because he loved them more #this is major first draft shit the dialogue feels very clunky to me so there will probably be revisions #yes draxum uses gale's fake birthday despite knowing it's not his real birthday #he's gotten REAL into the roleplay #he probably does change it to donnie's real hatchdate after this because absolutely no one knows that besides him #i remember once i picked up my mom's phone to pull something up and she started giving me the passcode and was shocked when i was already i #“how do you know my passcode?!” my mother in christ it's literally about me #raph is tattling on gale because he set up draxum's computer to accept whatever password he types in btw #he got tired of draxum forgetting his password and needing his computer reset

A very unstructured idea, brought to you by Eddie being 17 on his missing poster

Eddie who is *always* pulling the age card. “As the oldest, I’m in charge”, “Respect your elders”, “you’ll understand when you’re my age” etc. But the whole time he’s 17, and the youngest of the fruity four.

The others eventually learning his real age (from Wayne, by accident. Wayne didn’t realize his hooligan nephew was pretending to be 20 to all his friends)

Steve never letting him live it down after leaving the truth. On finding out he dramatically laments that they have to break up because he can’t be a cradle robber. He starts doing the “as the adult in the room” bit back at Eddie and teasing asking if Eddie needs him to cut the crusts off his sandwiches, etc.

(Eddie don’t take long to start making daddy jokes back at Steve, which works to shut him up because he gets very flustered)

Corroded coffin also teasing Eddie about being young once they find out. Gareth is still younger than him. It doesn’t stop the teasing in the slightest

For the rest of their lives whenever he has disagreements with any of his older friends Eddie still grumbles “I miss when I was older than you”

#stranger things #Eddie Munson #steddie #Stranger things prompts #writing prompts #prompts #my prompts #eddie was gifted kid who skipped grades early on #and was well ahead of his age until his mom died and his dad whisked him off to Hawkins #with the physical and emotional upheaval he fell behind and found it harder and harder to pull it back #not to mention how all the adults except Wayne acted like it was a personal failing #he just started finding it harder until he was flunking senior year twice #nobody in Hawkins knew he’d skipped grades before moving though so everyone assumes he’s 20 and he just rolls with it #as always feel free to write it if you want #The more the merrier #who knows if I’ll ever get around to it lmaoo

concerning your recent post about yoshiki’s dad, idk if it’s just me but i get the sense that mokmoklen is building him to also be gay and possibly in love with hikaru’s dad. like i feel insane just saying this but the vibes are there and i cant shake the feeling that its going to be a thing. in general though yoshiki’s dad’s current iteration is just. so lame. story-wise i really do miss how he was presented as this absent shadow in yoshiki’s life, one that was even threatening. i was holding out for him to be some sort of antagonist but nooo. like we needed another guy in the story. where is hikaru’s mom

yeah the more I thought about it the more I was like, Yoshiki's dad is probably intended to be a "This is what Yoshiki will turn out like if he doesn't have the strength to move on from Hikaru". On the other hand, I don't think it's done very interestingly, and Kurebayashi's husband already fulfills the niche of closeted gay man in a het marriage staying closeted for the sake of the family/kids and then having that all blow up and cause problems. I think the more interesting version is how the light novel presents him.

And of course, I am the biggest advocate for Yoshiki talking to Hikaru's mom. I literally griped with the fact that Yoshiki will talk to his dad instead of her because I feel like she's a very good parallel to Yoshiki, and also an example of someone who has dealt with their grief, which could be move us closer to coming to terms with Hikaru's death. Like Kouhei died under mysterious circumstances and left Hikaru's mom with solely raising Hikaru, just like Hikaru died under mysterious circumstances and left Yoshiki with the new responsibility of 'Hikaru' (+ how yoshiki compares 'hikaru' to a child).

But of course, Len dismisses the female characters by just having them not know anything. Why would Kouhei tell his friend all the Indoh family secrets and not his wife? Who fucking knows. It's not being examined at all by the manga when it really, really needs to be, and what I mean is that in ch17 Yoshiki goes 'it must only be told to men' and just. accepts that. unquestioningly. Like. why? why can't the women know? The only women we've seen who do are the Matsuuras who have had direct experience with it as compared to every other Joe Schmoe who just gets to know about it. I mean cmon Maki knows more about the dumbass thing than Hikaru's mom who is married to an Indoh.

I don't like how Len treats their female characters. I really don't, and while the manga isn't done so we can't know that these things won't ever be questioned or how they'll conclude, I really don't like what I'm seeing so far. Len says they treat straight and queer characters the same, but can the same be said for the male and female characters? I mean not to harp on the same example but it's so blatant it makes my head spin:

The fact that not only does the grandma not even get flavor text but Yoshiki's mother doesn't even get the courtesy of two lines above her head saying grandmother and grandfather. The space is noticeably empty. How we have all this information on Yoshiki's dad but very little on his mom. How she still doesn't even have eyes.

#There's a difference from having systematic or societal misogyny in a story in order to deconstruct it #and just having systematic/societal misogyny be like. the uncritically accepted norm by all the characters without need for examination #it's just bad writing.#sorry you were talking about yoshiki's dad and then I went off about Hikaru's mom except I'm not sorry #hikaru ga shinda natsu #the summer hikaru died #hgsn #hgsn spoilers #my hgsn shit

embarrassing if the humanity merger happens because some sorcerers were too busy watching gojo vs sukuna like some wwe match to stop someone who’s spending half of their free time trying to get their old friend to play video games and hang out with them

#this is about kenjaku and tengen. obviously. but genuinely they haven’t even enacted anything yet 😭😭😭 WHAT is the plan with that #uraume being annoyed by kenjaku too. unloved by anyone except jin #but it’s deserved for the worlds number 1 loser mom dad parent #kenjaku #jjk spoilers #it REALLY is going to be embarrassing if it turns out.. there is no plan 🤥#this is a continuation of my other post bc WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO IF THIS HAPPENS??#also tbh don’t know the end goal for jjk. is it going to be increasing or removing cursed energy?? or just saving who we can??

Jesus fucking christ I hate the US south

#Cw gun mention I guess #I was feeling super nauseous so I went into the kitchen to get ritz crackers #And we're at my grandma's rn for Christmas and she has windows in the kitchen that look out at the road/other houses #And NO curtains or blinds because she's old #And anyway I turned a small light on so I could see the crackers and I hear a fucking man outside shout “WHO'S OUT THERE”#In the heaviest southern accent. Mind you every fucking person in this area has a gun bc there's lots of trees with squirreld they shoot #And logically now that I am calming down I know it was just a bad coincidence and he was probably yelling at smthn in his yard #But jesus fucking christ I felt such immediate intense fear my head went cold #Ran to my baby brother's room bc I was certain someone was gonna come kill us #Then the rationality took over and I just told my mom about it. But now I'm sitting outside his room eating crackers bc I'm fucking paranoid #It is almost 4am and I haven't slept a wink I cannot do this rn #But literally the last time I went for a walk around here my dad told me not to go alone and also not to say anything stupid #And also stay far away from houses bc I could get myself shot #Literally what the fuck is this.#“Afearican” except I'm still very much in the US #Not to mention almost every fucking house has a blue lives matter flag and some have isr*el flags now too like #I fuuuuucking hate it here

some of you really need to read why does he do that? inside the minds of angry and controlling men by lundy bancroft before talking about what is and is not abuse.

that link is to a free pdf available on the internet archive.

abuse isn't just someone being physically beaten. it's not just harsh or cruel words. it's not just singular actions but a summation of a person's behaviors and actions.

#my blog #pjo series #pjo spoilers #percy jackson series #percy jackson series spoilers #the amount of people dismissing gabe's abuse as 'not enough' is worrying #guess i should call my mom and let her know my dad wasn't an abusive asshat #he only hit her a few times in their 18 years together and i didn't see except once #but he was financially controlling and emotionally abusive. even if we had periods of calm. even if we had periods were he was great.#but according to some of you that's not real #i'm about to throw hands with the subreddit so this is very much venting.
