Okay guys a thought: if we focus on voting for Tinfoilchef and Technoblade it's gonna go down to them and while that'd be a lil epic it'd also be pretty sad for one to lose to the other so I have two ideas:

1. We don't let it come to that, make someone else sweap, my personal surrgestion is Grandma Fa because I think that's the funniest option

Or

2. If they do go head to head, we make them tie either making them both win or move on in the tourney as a team

Do you have any Lonnie plus family headcanons?

Okay let's see. Also they might be already canon or from other users that I've seen and dont remember. If that's the case let me know and I'll tag them

Also I added a little Jordan and Aziz there...

Lonnie, Aziz and Jordan grew up together

Either Jordan or Lonnie had a one sided crush on the other at around the age of 12

Aziz was the ultimate wingman for any relationship the other two had

Shang Jr is also childhood friends with one of Aziz's older sister

Speaking of Shang, he had his first tattoo secretly at the age of 15.

It was a dolphin tattoo because he was obsessed with the sea growing up

Shang also likes to cook but is not very good at it

Mulan's family love Li Shang so much

Li Shang always made sure he was there for both her kids

Shang Jr looks like Mulan the most

Mushu is very protective of both Shang Jr and Lonnie

And he is the overdramatic proud unce

LONNIE AND SHANG JR GREW UP WITH YAO, CHIEN-PO AND LING'S CHILDREN

Jordan was the first one to attend Auradon City Middle School and that ls where she met Ben

Lonnie and Shang Jr had all their education till their respective high school years in China

Then Shang went to high school in Sherwood Forest for the first year but got transferred to Auradon Prep because Auradon had a better Scholarship in fencing.

He shared a drom with Andrew Bjorgman (Anna and kristof's son)

He also told everything about Auradon Prep to Lonnie so she wouldn't have much hard time there because he was always underestimated by some royal kids

Well, so was Lonnie. Maybe more than Shang jr because at least the older was a man and it wasn't 'wrong' for him to fight

Lonnie however was ignored by many people

Because she was a girl and she should be 'graceful' and 'quiet' and 'ladylike'

And she shouldnt fight.

After couple of month Ben being the king hearted guy befriended him and that went on

Lonnie also has couple tattoos

Which gave her bonus points befriending the vk's

Mal doesn't like to get into a physical fight in Auradon not because she is incapable but she likes the others to underestimate her

The only person she fenced in Auradon was lonnie (before d2)

It was in the middle of the night when they bumped into each other and had ice cream in the kitchens

They were chatting then fighting came up which made mal offer to fence with her

Lonnie obviously accepted

That's why when they were rescuing Ben in d2, mal was a bit relieved Lonnie was there

Back to the family, both Shang Jr and Lonnie got their sass from their great grandmother, grandma Fa

That's it for now I guess...

#li lonnie #li shang jr #lil shang #because apparently li shang jr is not a tag #thanks tumblr #hua mulan #li shang #grandma fa #mushu #aziz descendants #jordan descendants #auradon prep #oc #descendants

Why do we lie and say that aging makes people unnatractive??? There is no genre of old person that can’t be pulled off immaculately.

- Grizzled old sea captains? Ethereal.

- Eccentric librarians who have innate knowledge of every book on their shelves? Remarkable.

- Grandmas on rocking chairs with a glass of whiskey? Gregarious.

- Washed-up veterans with dark pasts looming alone at the back of a divebar? Sounds like babygirl material to me.

- Senior college professors who roast anyone who raises their hand? Enlightened.

- Lady on the bus who gives you ten year old candy from her giant purse? Wonderful

- Rich great aunts who definitely killed her husband at some point? Enchanting.

- The haggard witch who sits at the foot of my bed at 4am? Vivacious.

- Early-bird special customers at the local diner? Incredible.

Age doesn’t make you unnapealing, being unlikable makes you unappealing.

Grandma MC: Here's your favorite tea. Drink it while it's still warm.

The monster: *from the cave* Raaaagghh...

Grandma MC: I'm glad you decided to leave your cave once in a while. How was the trip here?

The monster: Raaghh...

Grandma MC: *chuckles* See? I told you. My grandchildren are very nice.

The monster: Raaghhh...

Grandma MC: Oh? There's something you want to tell me?

The monster: Raaaghh...

Crowley: Visitors from the Underworld?

Riddle: Yes, headmage. That's what Granny told me.

Crowley: Hm... But I haven't received any notice about this.

Vil: It's just going to be a short visit. Apparently, once they get what they want, they will leave.

Leona: Ah. So just like with the ghost bride.

Crowley: Well then, it seems there is nothing to worry about. What do the visitors from the underworld need?

Riddle and Vil: ...

Riddle: They want to court Granny - or to be precise, their leader wants to.

Leona: What?

Crowley: Huh? What did you say just now, Mr. Rosehearts?

Riddle: Their leader... wants to court Granny.

Vil: And a young, handsome man at that.

Crowley: ...

Malleus: *casting protection spells around Ramshackle dorm*

Grandma MC: Oh dear... Do we really have to do this?

Cater: *freaking out* Yes, Granny! This is very serious!

Cater: Like you'll be instantly dead if you meet this person!

Grandma MC: I just need to properly reject them. We don't need to be hostile.

Malleus: You're being too kind, Granny. And we don't know yet what they need from you.

Sebek: Waka-sama is right, human! And who on earth will court an old woman like you who's already in her dying age?!

Lilia: *whacks Sebek*

Sebek: L-Lilia-sama!

Lilia: That's how you talk to a lady?

Grandma MC: *chuckles* Sebek has a point, Lilia. You didn't need to hit him.

Silver: *approaches them* Fa- I mean, Lilia! I've got valuable information from the visitors of the Underworld!

Lilia: What is it, Silver?

Silver: *breathes in* According to the fairies, the leader claims to be Granny's lover here in Twisted Wonderland!

Malleus, Cater, Lilia, and Sebek: !!!

Grandma MC: Lover? *chuckles* I didn't know I had been promiscuous.

Grandma MC: Now that's more of a reason to talk to them.

Cater: Granny, no- Let's calm down...

Malleus: Where is that insolent-

Cater: Please calm down, Malleus!

Hi babe! Not sure how you feel about writing ab parents so feel free to ignore, but had an idea for kbd au if Steve’s parents tried to contact him/get into their lives and he’s all like stay away from my kids

kisses before dinner —steve has a tense relationship with his parents. mom!reader, 1.5k

The girls haven't seen their grandparents for… a while.

Steve's dad always has something to say about his life. How he's thrown everything away being a stay at home dad, or how idiotic it was to stay with you. The latter was enough for Steve to want to cut contact initially, but you convinced him not to do it on your behalf.

Steve, pretty much everyone we knew thought I was baby trapping you, you'd said.

Well, he'd said, attempting to lighten the mood, little do they know I baby trapped you.

Damn. Wanna do it again?

So it was funny. His parents didn't like you but they hardly liked him, he didn't mind —he was so fucking angry because who the fuck did they think they were, how could they look at you and not love you, you, in what world was it possible?— and he put up with their passive aggressive Christmas cards and their sparing visits, but then his mom took it too far.

He can remember it word for word. “Beth, honey,” his mom had said, her nose stuck in its permanent wrinkle, “why are you eating it like that? What do your friends at school think?”

“Mom, don't,” Steve had butt in. Beth didn't even go to school at that point.

“She's such a weird kid,” she said, shaking her head.

Some could argue it was fond or that she didn't mean anything by it, Bethie is very unique sometimes, but Beth turned her face to her dad with crestfallen eyes, as heartbroken as Steve had ever seen her before, and asked, “I'm weird?”

Steve doesn't remember the last time he spoke to his mom. A year ago at least.

He does miss her. But he doesn't really know her, never has, and he'd choose Beth over her without a thought. It would take a hundredth of a millisecond to decide.

That's why seeing her is a shock. He's going to see her, they live in the same town —you bumped into her a few weeks ago and had to give her the rundown. Everyone's okay. Yeah, we had another baby, she's doing great.

Steve had blown up at her. The girls had never seen him that angry in their lives and they haven't seen it since, and the gap is impassable.

Or so he thinks.

“Steve!” He tenses up. “Steve, honey!”

He can't decide what to do. He can't exactly run away; Bethie and Dove sit knee to knee in the shopping cart, Avery has her hand in his pocket, and Wren is strapped to his chest. Running would leave at least one girl behind, and where would he go? The frozen food aisle?

“Oh, it's grandma,” Avery says. “She looks… old.”

“She is old,” he says, turning reluctantly on the spot to watch his mother rush past a stack of cans of carrots. “She's ancient.”

“Steve, baby.” His mom stops in front of him, more flustered than he knew she could get back, struggling to maintain a sense of casualness. “How are you? Girls? It's been so long.”

Steve doesn't have an inkling of an idea of what to say. He's not mad anymore, but he knows she'll never change, and he knows that your family is a hundred times happier without worrying what grandma and grandpa think of you. “We're perfect,” he says.

“And this is baby Wren?”

Steve grimaces. “Yeah, this is Wren.”

She's only three months old but she has a good weight to her, and she's brilliantly healthy. She blinks at the woman in front of her without recognition, her dark lashes a thick hedging. She's a beautiful baby.

“She looks like you again, Steve.”

“Yeah, my girl's good at having babies, but she hasn't mastered the mixing process,” he jokes without thinking. Love for you falls off the tongue.

His mother has the sense to make herself laugh. “Where is Y/N?” she asks.

“Mom went back to get milk!” Avery says.

“Yeah? And how are you, sweetie?”

Steve clears his throat. He understands what she's trying to do, but he remembers Beth's crushed face and he can't abide this shit again. I let you let me believe I wasn't good enough, he'd said, he'd shouted, his voice hoarse with it as you pulled him back by the arm, but I will not let you do it to them. It's not happening, mom, I won't let it.

“Steven…”

“Mom, we have to get going.”

“I said I was sorry,” she says.

“But you weren't.”

“Steve–” She doesn't look a thing like her son beside the similar way they begin to cry, that frown, “Please, I know I'm not perfect, we don't have to pretend I've– I'll hold my tongue. I just want to see my grandkids. I've never even held her.”

Steve covers the back of Wren's head with his hand, her baby hair soft as down. The girls are being remarkably quiet, beside Dove, who's whispering, “Who is that?” to Bethie in her clumsy toddler drawl.

“That's gran'ma,” she whispers back.

Steve's mom is, at the end of the day, their grandma. And she sucks and she doesn't deserve anymore chances, and the girls are better off without her for the majority, but…

Steve screws his eyes shut. Don't make me regret this, he thinks.

“I just want to speak to them,” she says.

“Alright,” he says quietly, covering Wren's ear. “Alright, mom, fine, but this is it. This is your chance. If you ever upset or insult one of my kids again, we're done. We will never, ever speak again. You won't see them, and you won't see me. I'm serious.”

“I'm sorry,” she says again.

“Fine.” He pulls the strap off of Wren's harness and shushes her gently as she protests, lifting her out of his arms into his mom's. She doesn't have time to decide if she's ready. This is how it's going to be. “Her head.”

“I know how to hold a baby,” she says.

You come around the aisle slowly, a little wince to your step, some residual tightness in your hips as you recover postpartum, but the frown you wear slips into surprise. “Terri?”

You save Steve and take the reins, suffering a conversation on your pregnancy, birth, and Wren's first weeks of life as Steve takes a breath. His heart races, adrenaline and a sticky, icky feeling in his chest as he watches his mom. He doesn't know if he's doing the right thing. His arms ache to steal Wren back.

It ends in an invitation for dinner. Whenever you're free, whatever you want, Steve's mom offers.

He's glad to see the back of her.

You put the milk carton in the cart and touch his elbow. “You okay?” He hums. Your hand moves up to his face, cupping his cheek. “She makes you so mad, sweetheart. Do you need a moment?”

“I think I'm pissed because…” He glances down at Wren, who's happier now she's in familiar hands. “I didn't realise she was a shitty mom. I knew we didn't get along, the same with my dad, but I didn't know…” He sighs.

“It's okay,” you say, giving him a gentle squeeze before Dove demands you pick her up. You do it unthinkingly, and that's why he's mad.

“I know what a good mother looks like,” he says. “I know how hard it is. And I know she didn't even try.”

You're all sympathy, looking like you wanna wrap him up in a cuddle in the middle of the grocery store. “You deserved better. It makes me angry too.”

“Are we going to dinner?” Beth asks.

“What, with grandma?” Avery asks.

“Not right now,” Steve says.

“Good,” Dove says decidedly, wrapping her arms around your neck to hug you, squishing your cheeks together. “Cocoa?”

“Cocoa? You want hot cocoa?” you ask, pleased.

It breaks his heart thinking about himself as a kid. He knows there weren't any moments like this, no soft touches or sweet treats that weren't begged for. You don't even think about saying no.

“And marshmallows,” you croon, rubbing the little space between her shoulders. “And we'll have to get a cinnamon roll too, for your sister. How does that sound, Beth?”

Beth doesn't like hot cocoa but she loves cinnamon rolls, and she nods her head exuberantly. As quick as that, the girls forget their grandma's interruption, and Steve tries his best to put it out of his mind. Family is messy, and it's harder now he has to make decisions for all of them, but he has you. His support beam, his sweetheart, you put Dove on your hip and sew your arm loosely through his. Tonight he'll talk your ear off about things you know already. You'll listen without complaint, stroking his hair back from his forehead if you have a free hand. His family growing up wasn't worth calling a family half the time, just three people connected by blood and a shared house, but the family he has today takes the cake. There's no competition.

I remember this one time when Meghan said in her interview/podcast (or someone said this in her behalf) that Meghan was bullied relentlessly in school because everyone thought she was perfect, and I laughed my ass off at how off kilter someone's self assessment can be. Ifnwo deed then how she and why she was saying this. And now I think that was major projection because at some point she may done some reflection on why she has so many problems with Catherine of all people.

I think this photogate scandal explains that theory - that someone can be bullied because of their perfect image. A lot of other celebs are able to shake off major scandals of they have a perfect public image. For example, if someone came and said a horrible thing about Meryl Streep most people would simply ignore it. But it's because there is a huge PR machinery behind a celeb,and a huge celeb is a huge money making opportunity for those directly linked to them. So everyone from the agent to the associated brand goes into salvage mode.

When it comes to Catherine though, because her position she does not and cannot rely on a project created narrative. she is not an celeb, or a performer, she is a famous person. And even though she has been in the public eye for nearly 20 years, her role wasn't even constitutionally relevant till 8th Sept 2022, the day she became Princess of Wales. And even now, it is because of the constitutionally relevant role that her husband has.

This uniqueness of her position, the subltle nuance of that, is hard for the layman to grasp. Especially an American audience that culturally is very celeb and money centric. I say this because I do believe that controversial opinions and the wildfire of speculations about her are majorly coming from American commentators. American social media creators who rely on 40/20 sec clips on tiktok and insta have found that "where is Kate" is the biggest most lucrative click bait right now, and everybody and their grandma now has an opinion on it.

We live in a world of Charlene, Dubai princesses, Thai prinesses, North Korean dictators daughters/sisters/wife but we don't touch that with a 100 ft pole. Because it's uncomfortable. Because we know that noone is going to do anything to look into that.

But Catherine and husband's relationship is a free for all, all day buffet. Because she made herself available and catered to public's sensibilities. And when she drew a boundary she wouldn't budge. So everyone's sentiments get hurt now. The same people who gossip about her now would happily call her a step Ford wife and a clothes horse but ohh and ahh over her coat dresses and shiny hair and lovely shoes.

Noone stops for a second to think that maybe this woman is feeling unwell, is recovering from a surgery, has a serious medical issue and would like to recover at home without having to put on makeup and fake small talk with strangers.

We cry about feminism and equality and women's rights, but only applaud women who exhibit overt ambition. If a woman wants to stay at home, and is able to afford that, it's problematic. We want a woman to value self love and self care but if she prioritizes her health and care above public opinion she is dragged through the mud. Her health, her looks, her morals, her husband's morals, integrity, family values, privacy, her children's health, children's right to privacy....everything is open to discussion. And it's ok.

It's shameful and appalling that not ONE journalist, not one person with power, not one paper, publication or news Network has publicly spoken out in her favour and called out the bullying. This is not a Photoshop issue. It's just disguised as one. This gleeful gossiping about her "disappearance" is a gross violation of her rights.

Everything you've said is spot on. It is 100% American busybodies driving the criticism, controversy, and scandal. We/they don't understand what it's like to have someone who is above celebrity because our culture sees celebrity fame as the objective end-goal, so we demand for everyone to fit into our model of celebrity.

And while I have to give Meghan the benefit of the doubt and agree that she may have been bullied at school, I don't think it was for being perfect. That's Kate's story. All Meghan has done, since 2016, is portray Kate's life story as hers.

Quando la casa dei nonni si chiude 💔...

“Uno dei momenti più tristi della nostra vita é quando la porta della casa dei nonni si chiude per sempre. Una volta chiusa quella porta non ci saranno più i pomeriggi felici con zii, cugini, nipoti, genitori fratelli e sorelle. Ve lo ricordate?

Non era necessario andare al ristorante la domenica. Si andava a casa dei nonni. A Natale la nonna bucava l’ozono con le sue fritture mentre il nonno si dedicava all’arrosto facendo puntualmente bruciare la canna fumaria. La tavola era lunghissima e veniva apparecchiata nella stanza più grande. Adesso la casa è chiusa ed è rimasta soltanto la polvere. Un cartello vendesi. Nessuno la vuole quella casa.

È vecchia. Va ristrutturata. Costa troppo. Cazzo ne sapete di quanto vale la casa dei nonni. La casa dei nonni non ha un valore. E così passano gli anni. Non ci sono più regali da scartare. Frittate da mangiare. Verdure da pulire. Quando la casa dei nonni si chiude ci ritroviamo adulti senza capire quando abbiamo smesso di essere bambini. Certo per i nonni saremo sempre piccoli e indifesi. Sempre. I nonni avevano sempre il caffè pronto. La pasta. Il vino. Le caramelle..

Poi finisce tutto. Non ci sono più le canzoni. Non si fa più la pasta fatta in casa..... Siete andati via troppo presto porca miseria. Io volevo fare la salsa ancora una volta. Il mirto. Le chiacchiere. E il liquore all’alloro. Io volevo ancora accatastare la legna con te nonno, anzi grazie per avermelo insegnato. E grazie per gli insegnamenti sulla vita. E sulla campagna. E sul giardinaggio. Ora quando passo guardo quella casa e mi viene sempre l’abitudine di parcheggiare. E di buttare giù il campanello. E di sentire la nonna gridare che porco giuda non sono modi quelli.

Scusa nonna. Non suonerò più il campanello. Al massimo quando mi capiterà di pensarvi di nuovo, come ora, canterò una canzone. Quella preferita dal nonno. Un amore così grande.

When the grandparents 'house closes💔

“One of the saddest moments in our lives is when the door to our grandparents' house closes forever. Once that door closes there will be no more happy afternoons with uncles, cousins, nephews, parents, brothers and sisters. Do you remember it? There was no need to go to a restaurant on Sunday. We went to the grandparents' house. At Christmas, the grandmother pierced the ozone layer with her fried food while the grandfather dedicated himself to the roast by punctually burning the flue. The table was very long and was set in the largest room. Now the house is closed and only the dust is left. A for sale sign. Nobody wants that house. Is old. It needs to be refurbished. Costs too much. Fuck do you know what the grandparents' house is worth. Grandparents' house has no value. And so the years go by. There are no more presents to unwrap.

Omelettes to eat. Vegetables to clean. When the grandparents' house closes, we find ourselves adults without understanding when we stopped being children. Of course, for our grandparents we will always be small and helpless. Always. Grandparents always had coffee ready. The pasta. The wine. The candies.. Then it's all over. There are no more songs. Homemade pasta is no longer made..... You left too soon damn it. I wanted to make the sauce one more time. The myrtle. The chatter. And the laurel liqueur. I still wanted to stack wood with you grandpa, actually thanks for teaching me. And thanks for the teachings about life. And about the countryside. And about gardening. Now when I pass I look at that house and I always get used to parking. And to knock down the bell. And to hear the grandmother shouting that pig Judas are not those ways. Sorry grandma. I won't ring the bell again. At the latest when I think of you again, like now, I'll sing a song. Grandpa's favorite. Such a big love.
