Peppepope and her relationship with the crew

(Just a note, most of this will talk about her interactions with them as kid, since that's where a majority of her bond with them comes from)

🧡Wiggle🧡: Her little star. She definitely gets a lot from her mother, like her fur, outgoing personality, love for fashion. But she doesn't quite have the voice talent you would expect from Wiggle Wigglebottom's child, and sometimes she feels like her mother's tastes are a bit more...Refined, so to say. Wiggle loves glamor and pizzazz, but Peppy prefers to stick with whatevers fun to her, even if she gets a bit dirty and silly in the process.

💖Gramble💖: While she may play more with Wiggle, she usually goes to her dad when she needs feeling sick or sad. But while she loves the sweaters he makes, and the heart shaped cookies he bakes, and all the soups he makes with love when she's sick, sometimes he just gets a little smothering. He's forced hugs on her so many times as a kid that she hates them now, and he has a bit of a problem with coddling her. But she'll always appreciate his more simpler way of life over having to deal with being the child of a popstar.

🤎Shelda🤎: Just basically her grandma. Wiggle especially would drag her to Shelda's house a lot, despite Peppepope being way too energetic to sit down and listen to an old lady talk to her mom about adult life problems. She didn't hate it though, and Shelda was always sweet to her so she liked her enough. Loved the all the crystals and herbs she had, and cherishes a pretty pink crystal she was given when she was 6.

❤Cromdo❤: Cromdo was the opposite situation than Shelda, in that he was always dropping in unannounced with fun stories and little gifts for Peppy, getting the already hard to control child even more rowdy. Sometimes he'd talk about some of his less-than-legal rendezvous, much to the disapproval of her parents.

💜Beffica💜: Don't tell the others this, but Beffica is probably her favorite, even if only because she knew her way around makeup and making friendship bracelets the best. She loved having an extra ear to gossip to that wasn't her mom, because that meant that anytime she mentioned she got in a fight, the response would be laughter and not a lecture. She also liked going through her scrapbook whenever she got the chance, seeing how all the adults she grew up around looked before she was born, even though it was only a couple years.

💔Floofty💔: Unfortunately Floofty's cold demeanor and role as the weird mad scientist is having it's biggest repercussion yet– the child is afraid of them. They don't mean to scare her, but they still can't help but give off this feeling that they may not be as warm and welcoming as anybody else (and honestly they probably have resting bitch face). They also just struggle with kids in general. While their condescending tone with adults doesn't bother them as much ("they're adults, they should act like them"), they have trouble with finding that middle ground of teaching younger kids about facts and correcting them without treating them younger than they are, since they genuinely don't want to do that. Peppepope is proof of why they decided to teach college first.

💚Triffany💚: Funny aunt :). Used to be scared of her because of her obsession with bones and death until she decided she wanted to be a super brave Big Kid™️ and face Triffany without having to hold Gramble's hand. And once she did she realized she liked her a lot! She told lots of groan-worthy yet fun puns and was always so sweet and happy to see her. She always felt a little bad when she'd fall asleep when she'd start talking about history but she can't help it! She's an energetic kid and she can barely keep her eyes open in history class as is.

💙Wambus💙: Another adult she was afraid of, though a little less so. It's easy to get intimidated by a tall, deep voiced and serious guy like Wambus, but if her dad can tease and roast him and get off relatively scot free, then she should be fine. Wambus himself can be a little awkward around kids, not really knowing what to do. And unfortunately, once Peppy's short-lived fear was over she would not leave him alone. She always wanted chocolate sauce, and then she wanted a piggy back ride, and then she wanted to know what this thing was, and then what that thing was. Her ideas for things she wanted to do was never-ending, much to his dismay.

💙Filbo💙: Funny guy who falls over a lot. She liked having him around because he was always so funny, even unintentionally. Filbo also doesn't really know what to do around kids, but whatever the heck he was doing was enough, and she didn't hate him so that was a win in his book.

💚Chandlo💚: Favorite babysitter, hands down. Was always willing to play with her, kept her safe, was easy to talk to even when she was having a rough day, and was always willing to give her space when she needed it.

💛Snorpy💛: NOT one of her favorite babysitters lol. A careless kid like her always got herself into danger (at least in his eyes), so to her he was always just the adult who was overreacting and stopping her from having fun. Thought his inventions were the coolest though, and always wanted to hear about them.

🤍Eggabell🤍: Kinda the same as Snorpy, but she always got a bandaid and a treat so it was ok.

🖤Lizbert🖤: FINALLY someone who shared her love for adventure. Would always hear about her stories exploring caves and mountains (and whatever it is she explores, idk lol). Loved her and thought she was the coolest. Wanted to be exactly like her when she got older, and was a little hurt and confused when Liz didn't feel the same way.

Hey Shinki, do you know Joyous String Ensemble? It's an orchestra group of young musicians!

"Oh yeah, I've heard of them before. If I remember it correctly.. The main members were Mickayla the violinist, Brandon the bassist, and his younger brother Tyler the violinist, with the Leader.. Justin the cellist who already played together since 4 years old. They also were called as the youngest quartet in the world, and used to be called as Joyous String Quartet. I watched it on TV years ago"

"I think it's really amazing knowing they became famous at a young age, it reminded me of Nee-san who also became famous at a young age. Well.. If I can be honest, Tyler's skills on violin was more amazing than mine when he was 7-8. If compared to mine at the same age"

"Though... I found it weird that they're still underated despite of being the world famous musicians, I mean.. when Nee-san's still alive--"

"....Someone like Shinki can be arrogant too as well, huh? Did Kichi's arrogance successfully infected you?"

"K--Kaima?! It's not like that...! I'm just conclude it from my view.. you know, When Nee-san's--"

"Well, that's not important now.. Just stop comparing your skills with the others, you're also a skilled violinist. Your 'conflict' already subsided 2 years ago, that "comparing skills" it's not your business anymore. They've gone and..."

"Stop thinking too logically"

"Ah.. don't start act like Kaa-san and Nee-san, you're starting to sound like... a Parent.."

"...Well, I do trusted by them as your 'parent'. I can't deny it, though I don't like 'that name'."

"...They really trusted him to take care of me, huh? Well they didn't chose the wrong person though, after all Kaima's really fit that role.. he's really a parent type friend Haha, step that aside. I got it, thanks Kai.. I'll stop it, just as you said.. it's already ended"

"You know what to do right? Don't make Ayame Nee-san worried of you in afterlife"

"Yup, no worries"

Admin's note : actually I also like Joyous String Ensemble :) and these sprites are for the upcoming voice headcanon for my V3 fankids, due to new semester just started I can't finished it too soon.. let's just hope I can finish it

The result of all those PiCrew pics I was doing is this! An alt profile page of sorts that includes every fankid I have.

Link to the Profile Page is Here!

All of the side filters should work properly, although since this is meant to be an easy visual ref, none of the added characters have profiles set up. So clicking on them won’t lead to anything.

I won’t be using this as a replacement for the current profile page (mostly since the profiles aren’t set up) and will instead include a link to it in the family list.

Watching Boruto because I was big into Naruto in middle school and idk I just felt like suffering. Here are my observations.

Fankid au come to life. Would die for Himawari 10/10. They did really try to make interesting kid designs for all the new schoolchildren but when they got to Shikadai they literally just went “fuck it, Shikamaru 2″

All the girls are kind of bitchy and one dimensional so far but like,,, what could I expect? It’s a shounen anime, it’s not about them, this is pretty par for the course. This exists to remix an ensemble cast and then serialize them to hell and back again, so I know I can’t go in looking for something super compelling and deep in the secondary characters right away. I expect they’ll develop like...one...of the girls probably. Eventually. By contrast the boychildren offer a lot of variety, and I gotta say, they are significantly more homosexual in terms of vibes per capita this time around. Thats great for them. I like them. Cant wait for learning more about what kind of shitty parents my faves all grew up to be.

I went into this going “lol its just Gen Z Naruto” but actually now that I’ve been watching it, Boruto really does feel like if Naruto was painted over with this corporate idea of Gen Z sensibilities. I’m only a couple episodes in, but I dont hate it tbh. It’s not revolutionary. It’s about what expect from the genre, but I don’t hate it.

#and to be clear this shouldnt read like a 'back in my day' kind of post because Naruto is dogshit too #I say this as a person who invested a lot of time and love into Naruto #I love it but it's dogshit #Middle school hyperfixations are just like that

will the main cast still be the primary characters of TAC III or will their children be the new ensemble? And also I saw that you are utilizing the DownTheLine contest shipping son, Nick, as a friend of Oliver's, will you also be using characters like Allie, and Sky, and Briar?

Don't think of the kids replacing their parents as a new ensemble cast of characters; rather, think of the kids joining the current ensemble cast and making it even more absurdly large.I'm borrowing a lot of @kasuria and @toasty-coconut's fankids thanks to their good graces. You can expect to see their wonderful Skye, Lizzie, Allie, Nick, and Briar in addition to my own original characters.

🎲 Familia Eius 🖋️

WARNINGS : MINOR GORE, MANIPULATION, DEATH

This is an AU where Cirlun and Etoile are Rinn and Lucy's parents. Rinn and Lucy are Logan and I's fankids.

~~~~~~~

The young woman smiled, even though she realised quickly after what a cruel thing it was to do. She knew well how much her brother had suffered at no hand but her own. Lucy was aware of how pathetic Rinn had slowly become, and she thought she could take advantage of his evident melting. There was something else she had to take care of, though, because there was nothing she could do if her adoptive mother - the Empress - was in the way to prevent it.

Just as Cirlun herself had culled her Advisor, Lucy needed to follow in those footsteps. However reluctant the young woman appeared to be, she knew that it was inevitable. She had trained all of her life for the chance to be on the throne, even subjecting herself to deep, comatose states or long, trancelike daydreams in order to train her mind for the mental strain that her magic would place on it.

Despite the fact that she was a human, through a brutal, painful process performed by the Empress, human's zodiac powers - those naturally held by trolls - could be awakened. However, there seemed to be a ten percent survival rate for it, lessened further by natural weaknesses. It itself was a severely unnatural thing, as human bodies were rarely strong enough to handle the abilities that would normally lie dormant until they died out. Nothing could be said to begin credibly explaining those magics.

Lines between troll and human blurred ever faster as time pushed forward, and the young heiress - only eighteen years old by human time measurements - trained harder. Her body was still burning as her gaze settled down on her adoptive brother, that curt smile she had worn mere seconds ago fading. Lucy's voice had grown as she had, and it was cold and emotionless as she addressed him.

"Rinn, dearest brother, I expect you not to enter my palace unless you are instructed - directly by me, and me alone - to do so. I know well who you have become, rebel leader, and that it is likely you have double agents in the High Court and the Council of Highbloods. That is why."

Her pink eyes, normally a bright, almost fluorescent tone, had dulled into a darker shade resembling fuchsia or maroon. She normally wore contact lenses to hide it, but they were unobscured in the waning light of the throne room. Rinn's eyes were blue, and they remained sharp as ever when he spat a retort to the other. He was normally the calmer of the two siblings.

"Your palace? Last I checked, Lulu, Mom was still alive. You can't command me like that. Besides, you're the younger of us. Don't you think this empire could use an Emperor for once?"

He was becoming angrier. Lucy knew that much. They were moirails before her megalomania begun to show, before she would lose weeks' worth of sleep aggressively training, physically and mentally pushing herself to meet destructively high standards time and time again. They had been closer as siblings than they were to anyone else. But now, Lucy had become hungry for the power that she had never been given. She'd take it instead.

"So."

Her voice rang out through the halls.

"Do you mean to tell me that you want to steal this from me?"

Rinn was silent. There was no point in arguing with someone so irrational. He just glared at his sister as she moved to the back of the room. A few hushed words were spoken between she and the guards, then a shadow was thrown to the wall, moonlight illuminating the heiress and another figure, bound tightly and shroud in a brown cloak.

"I had intended to wait a few more tsweeps before my Ascension, but little has proved a greater disappointment to me thus far than a missed opportunity."

With a gentle, swift motion, she pushed the hood away to reveal no other face but her mother's. Their mother's. The woman's expression was gaunt, eyes glassy and cast to the floor. She looked near death already. Cirlun had clearly given up, even though she had many, many tsweeps to live. Would have, anyway, if she was unopposed. Lucy was smiling. The heiress had clearly given into her thirst for power. This notion was only solidified when she next spoke.

"Isn't this lovely, Rinn? We're almost all here. I never thought I'd see you again... Gog knows, we're still missing someone. Didn't Otets join your little rebel group? I suppose I can't blame him, but what I'm about to do next would have been so much more fun."

Lucy offered no further explanation for what she regarded as 'fun', and it was rather lucky the girl didn't. She turned to her 'mother', grin far too wide to be natural regarding the situation at hand. She picked a pouch full of die moulded from what looked like shards of multicoloured sea glass from a belt at her waist, holding it as if were made of gold. As the die tumbled to her waiting palms, a laugh escaped her. The noise was flat and emotionless.

"Do you like them, brother? I had them cast from the possessions of your pitiful ensemble that died from my guards' tridents. Particularly their jewels and medals."

Whether or not she was lying was unclear, but Rinn's eyes narrowed in suspicion.

"Don't you dare mention Otets. He was a good father to you and is still a good father to me. You're shithive maggots, Lucy. Why did you bring Mom into this?"

He wanted to take the die from her hands and smash them, to see them shatter and let her sister feel powerless. But he sat there, unmoving, waiting for the girl's response patiently.

"Because I knew that you'd never listen to me if I didn't bring a reason. I also realised that you were closer to our father, but it would have been nothing but fruitless to attempt getting him out here. Cirlun - sorry, Mom - had already given up by the time I sent the guards to get her. It was easier than I could have ever hoped."

The girl stopped talking, putting the die-pouch back around her waist and rolling the die between her fingers in an idle, bored gesture. Lucy threw them in the air, not even looking until they hit the floor. A haze of light surrounded them as she picked them up and when it cleared, Ψdon's Entente had replaced them all. The double-edged trident seemed too big for the short human, but she handled it with unprecedented ease.

Walking closer to her mother, she held Rinn's gaze, a cruel smile twisting her lips. This was a side to Lucy that he'd never seen and didn't want to see. Gently, every movement careful, she bent down and whispered something into Cirlun's ear that was enough to make the tired, half-dead Empress flinch. Lucy stood, gazing back to Rinn for a moment as if to check that he was watching her still.

Then she used her fingers to unclasp the cloak she was wearing, a fuchsia one with an infinity clasp that she had taken from her mother. Casting it aside, she drove the trident down, deepest pink coating the prongs of the weapon in a gruesome spectacle of paint. From the blood, brightest white swirled. She was grinning like a maniac as it enveloped her. enough luminescence to hurt or damage Rinn's eyes.

Yes. This was what she had been waiting for for too long.

The change was minor, but she became taller, a circlet of gold and fuchsia gems resting on her head. Her gaze was sharper, and Cirlun's corpse - as well as the resulting blood - were nowhere to be seen.

"Rinn, dearest brother, are you alright?"

She asked the other figure in the room, walking to him and kneeling at his front. He looked petrified, to say the least. However, when she reached out to wipe a tear from his cheek, he grabbed her wrist.

"Do not touch me."

His voice was monotonous, and his eyes flat blue-grey. It was clear enough that he hated her. It only made Lucy happier.

"Why, you're disagreeable today. Don't you want more power, Rinn? I am afraid I need to touch you for it... Well..."

She shrugged, backing away from him a little bit.

"I won't make you uncomfortable."

The girl had a plan, and she needed to gain Rinn's trust back if it were going to work. Despite all that had happened before, he smiled, the tiniest, trembling quirk of his lips that was unnoticeable unless one searched for it. Taking this as a sign, she stepped forward again, raising a brow as she opened her arms.

"Come on, now. I'm your moirail, aren't I? You're safe. You look like you need a hug..."

Reluctantly, the boy discovered that he missed her. So he let her hug him, grateful for the warmth. Gog, he couldn't even remember the last time they hugged, and that was concerning. But a new heat came to his skin when she released him, a fierce burning that made him want to yell. His head lurched, and blue was the only thing he saw until he blacked out.

Lucy knew it was wrong, but she directed some guards to take him to his old room, the one they had both once been trapped in by her mother that was little more than a closet. Lucy had things for him to do, and couldn't risk him getting injured. Residual white motes of light drifted around her as she finally left the throne room.

While he Ascended, she felt her brother's life ebbing away, and it scared her more than she would have liked to admit. So Lucy had given a sliver of her power away, just enough that he didn't die. After all, this was no game. She had been intending to play Sgrub, but never got around to it. Now, there were other ways of gaining power in her world. The Omega Session could wait. Why would she risk that?

The Empress turned her head when she heard a voice, surprised to see no one there. Argh. Her head felt like it was going to split apart. She walked to Rinn's room, the ground swerving beneath her feet. She felt horribly nauseous, but pushed it all away when she finally opened the door.

To her slight alarm, he was already awake, staring into a mirror wordlessly. One of his eyes had become a troll's, with four solid black irises connected by two lines, resembling a plus sign. She sat next to him, taking the mirror gently from his grasp.

"What's wrong? You feel more powerful, don't you? That's great! I knew you'd be able to handle your new powers."

Her words were empty promises, but she was a gifted liar. She seemed genuine enough, even to her brother who had known her better than anyone else. For a moment, Lucy's shoulders dropped, and she almost sighed in relief, but Rinn spoke and wiped all of that away.

"I dunno, Luce. You're confusing me."

As time passed, she knew that his willpower was waning. The Empress' influence was spreading, and she feared not her brother breaking away from under her thumb. Her mind was reeling with dark thoughts, and she was slowly ordering the rebels to be killed. A select few were kept in the dungeons. Of course, Lucy made him do it for her.

Even though she didn't have empath powers like he did, there was a deep-seated fear and plaguing thoughts of betrayal that kept him by her side. So she used him, threatening him with worse consequences, before she snapped. Her voice was harsh, back to the low growl that she had once used, a long time ago before his Ascension.

"I want you to get Dad for me. Otets. He should be in the dungeons. You know what, Rinn? I'm proud of you."

The compliment fell on deaf ears as he turned, body and heart numb after so long doing Lucy's dirty work. At first, it had fazed him. The killing. But now he barely washed the blood off his hands. Rinn wanted to be a good brother, and - still under the impression that they were that close - a good moirail. He didn't want to die above all of that, though.

When he reached the dungeons, Rinn activated Batkind, knowing how hostile many captives would be towards him, even though many had been in the ranks of the long-forgotten rebellion he had led. Since Rinn fell into Lucy's schemes, nobody had bothered to rebel. Many had tried, Etoile included, but optimism and effort had died rapidly.

Soon, a guard appeared. They were an Ascended Sagittarius, tall and stocky. It was evident that they had been chosen for the role, due to the unnatural gills on their neck that seemed to have been magically grafted there.

"Who are you here for? Did the Empress give you clearance, Guaise?"

They asked, inspecting the bat that he carried with narrowed eyes and taking it away, tugging it from his hands forcefully.

"Ote- I mean... Etoile Huudde."

Rinn replied, eyes sweeping around the dark space.

"Come this way."

The guard ordered, pushing Rinn to his knees in a cell. There, the Empress sat with the bound and scared Etoile, a curt smile on her lips. Cirlun's corpse was easily the most unsettling thing in the dull and dingy room. Lucy clapped her hands together, smile widening into a shark-toothed grin more reminiscent of their mother's. The door slammed shut behind him.

"Welcome to the family reunion!"

Ok, I know aedan got decanted as like a ten year old, but what would it look like if he and the other kids got deaged into like 3 year olds due to an accident with some sort of tech?

Winston, surrounded by toddlers after working on Tracer's chronal accelerator results in an unexpected explosion: *sobbing* I can't protect them--!

Winston: Wait...

Winston, now housing all the toddlers in a modified barrier to keep them contained: This will protect them!

--Later--

Genji: And you're sure it will wear off?

Winston: The de-aging effect should last only as long as your average chronal accelerator charge! I just put the barrier up to keep them from getting into trouble until then! But now that you're all here, we can just get them back home to sleep the effects off!

Sombra: So you modified the barrier.

Winston: Yep!

Widowmaker: So they can't get out.

Winston: Like a baby pen!

Symmetra: ...And we can't get in.

Winston: Ye-- *catches himself* Oh...oh dear.

Cassidy: Please tell me we don't have to shoot at it to make it disappear.

Winston: I mean you only have to shoot at it until it's structural integrity is at 40%--

Mercy: WINSTON, WE'RE NOT SHOOTING AT TODDLERS.

Winston: You're not shooting at the toddlers, you're shooting at the bubble--

All of the parents: WINSTON.

Samir rizz: Only works on Faustine and Jaime. Rajeev rizz: Works on most people and consists of him going "Hi :D"

Seye rizz: Works on virtually everyone BUT Marti yet somehow she's still in love with him. This is confusing and infuriating for both of them.

Aedan rizz: His cringefail ways and victorian ghost child lost in the grocery store vibes have captivated me.

Marti rizz: works on only a select few but they become just straight-up obsessed with her and she's just like, "Yikes."

Jaime rizz: works up until the point where he asks you for your social security number.

Akasha rizz: no rizz. Negative rizz. Maybe she can put a sexy vhs filter on herself with her chronal disassociation but she does not want to. Maybe if you count a gothic heroine screaming and throwing herself around a dilapidated mansion rizz she might have that rizz.

Aejeev talking about their gals? hyping and gassing them up? Aedan talking about Akasha so fondly to Rajeev and the latter talking about how dope and cool Reis is to the forme? And vice versa with Reikasha too, mun? :00

Awwwww....

---

Aedan: She's really brilliant, is the thing. I mean, not that the rest of the watchpoint isn't... sparkling company---

Rajeev: You watched me eat a raw scoop of protein powder on a dare yesterday.

Aedan: It's just, for all her experiences, for all her humility in the face of that, she has this incredible intelligence and will. I doubt she would have survived that time without it, but I really wish she was more aware of it. I really wish she could see it like the rest of us do.

Rajeev: I mean, I think Rei's the same way. She's always trying to do more, it's like she doesn't even know how much she does for everyone already, you know? And it's always 'no big deal' with her even though she's going well out of her way for it. And she knows what she's about, too. It's not like a 'please like me' thing, it's like... 'this is home, this is how home works.'

Aedan: *pause* ...Do you ever worry about how things would be if everything was suddenly normal?

Rajeev: What do you mean?

Aedan: If we weren't scared for our lives all the time, running off on missions all the time, scared we're going to lose each other all the time.... that sort of thing.

Rajeev: Hm... I would've liked to play college basketball.

Aedan: College basketball.

Rajeev: Don't really know how that would work but there are exchange programs. And I'm tall.

Aedan: That's it? You don't worry if your kindness comes from a core of trauma? Or fear? Or guilt?

Rajeev: ...I think we should just count ourselves lucky that we're around people who care that much. Who make us care.

----

Rei: I'm glad things eased up between you and Aedan.

Akasha: Me too. I missed our cooking lessons.

Rei: He's giving you cooking lessons?

Akasha: Everything I ate with Vishkar was... this really bland hypoallergenic stuff. Everything perfectly plotted out for macronutrients and efficient digestion, but nothing too spicy or sweet or acidic because everyone was eating the same thing. I didn't really realize how boring it all was it until I was adrift in time, but even then, the food during that time was... very hit or miss. It mostly started out because I needed to work in the kitchen like everyone else, but he noticed I would keep... nibbling at things...and he's been giving me lessons since.

Rei: How's that going?

Akasha: I'm learning a lot! He's really patient, but he gets so excited. It's sweet. I feel like he really could have been a really good teacher if it weren't for... all this. I also think it's good to give Rajeev a break from always worrying about me, too.

Rei: Rajeev cares about everyone. That's... part of his deal. *snort* It is sweet to see him running around the watchpoint checking in with everyone and trying to help out, though.

Akasha: Did he check in with you?

Rei: He helped me clean out my room. I'd been putting it off a while because I was so worried about having to choose between all of my stuff in boxes from LA and all my childhood sentimental stuff, but he was happy to spend all day helping me sort through all that stuff, and run boxes down to storage, or toss them in the truck to be donated...And he was asking all these questions about LA... it was nice to catch up. I think it's so easy to be caught up in, y'know, getting things done around here, that it's easy to just... brush over that kind of stuff. But he really cares.

Akasha: *smile*

Rei: and, heads up, he did take some of my old shoujo manga off my hands. *pause* And some clothes for you. If you want them. They might be a little long on you, but we can hem them.
