OMGGG IM SO HAPPY YOU DO ok ok yk how you were just talking about old widow(is that just for women?)bakugo? when you said grumpy grandpa and sunshine grandma(something like that) it reminded me of…EVELYN AND GEORGE
BAKUGO BEING SO MEAN WHEN SOMEONE FIRST MEETS HIM BUT WARMING UP TO THEM AND GOD FORBID THEY CALL HIM OUT ON IT
and us being so sweet and telling the kids all the sweet things he’s ever done for us they either don’t believe a word you say or they believe you and tease him with all the information but yea just a thought😁
also this is my first time talking to you so hiii
FIRST TIME??? WEEEEE HI, HOW ARE YOU and thanks so much for stopping by! many hugs to you!!!
Evelyn and George!you + Bakugo is such a Thought... I'm honestly kinda 😳 because George never actually grew on me (probs cuz it's been so long since I've gotten his scenes or my hearts were never high enough oops)....... but I admit this is berry cute to think about.
Being old sweethearts who settled down in the countryside after retirement, wanting to spend your the rest of your days in a cute little house + enjoying town life.
AND I LOVE THE IDEA OF no one believing you about Bakugo being a sweetie pie🥺🥺🥺 ... all the always kids coming round whenever you make cookies to tell you that you're crazy for marrying such a downer... and Bakugo just shouting from another room in the house asdjfjkasd. But of course they see it eventually, when he starts taking in strays, fixing bikes, or everyone meets the grandson you practically raised👀 and he's so nice.
THEN they really go to town making fun of him hehehe tho we all know old man Bakugo loves the attention and it just makes you laugh to see him blush or stutter out thanks you when kids bring him fresh, wild onions!!!
LMAO THOUGH you know what's also kind of a funny thought (and I think someone was mentioning this on here the other day)... Jodi + Ken!you + Bakugo..................... not that I wanna copy or take pleasure in the angst (I do)... but grumpy ass Bakugo coming home to you after a long time @ war or work and the whole town going nuts thinking he's super mean LMAOOO.
Anyway. Love this and love you, anon! Hope my thoughts were an entertaining add on<333

You Remind Me Of Her
~
"Jason wake up I want to go see the new store!"
He felt his blankets get tugged off of him. Groaning he scrunched his face into the bed.
" Let me sleep another hour or two, it was late when I got in bed."
" And who's fault is that?"
He grabbed the nearest pillow to him and flung it to where the voice was coming from, even with perfect aim he wasn't surprised when he heard it connect with his wall and not a body.
"Yours! If you hadn't dragged me with you to look for those old music disk with you I would have gotten to bed earlier."
"Liar you would still have gone to bed late for whatever other reason."
He sat up rubbing his eyes, hissing slightly when he opened them not expecting his lights to already be on.
"Okay, what store are you making me go to today Martha?"
He dodged a swat to the back of his head. Grinning he headed towards the kitchen hearing her huff and following him.
"How many times do I have to tell you to call me grandma! Honestly, you're worse than a nipping dog"
"Well at least I'm not emotionally constipated like Bruce"
"True, but we're not speaking about my son right now we're speaking about you. Now hurry up! I saw the prettiest set of crystal glass cut tea set by the window when I was passing by!"
"Give me like 8 minutes to eat and get ready okay, will grampa be joining us?"
He turned to look at her in the eyes
Her green eyes, just barely glowing. The rest of her being transparent like fog in the early morning, her heels floating a few inches of the floor.
Martha Wayne his grandmother
His dead grandmother now a ghost
Just like he used to be
~
He walked into the small store the small bells jingling above his head.
"Look Jason they have such pretty things!"
His eyes followed her as she floated over to the display case. Quickly he took his phone and held it up to is ear.
"Which one's were the ones that caught your eye?'
He developed the habit of speaking into the phone when he was outside in public view while speaking with a ghost, that way nobody would give him a second glance looking like a normal phone call.
"The one with lilies and forget-me-not's."
His eyes quickly found the pieces and grabbed them. He looked at her from the corner of his eye.
"Is this all you wanted from here?"
The 'Do you want to continue looking?' in his gaze. She gave a quick glance around before turning back to him.
"No just that for today, we can come back another day when you don't have plans."
Jason glanced at her while he quickly paid. Leaving the store he turned to fully look at her while still having his phone up to his ear.
"Plans? I don't have any plans for today?"
A sly grin made its way on to her face
"Well I thought it's been a while since you visited Alfred and since we're in the area we might as well visit, no?"
Jason sighed, " Fine, only because it has been a while plus if I don't go you'll just keep naggin' me."
Martha gave a small huff of amusement
"That's my boy! Now! Let's get some nice tea for our visit, it would be rude to go empty handed, how about some nice cinnamon tea huh?"
"Your obsession with cinnamon tea has started to spread to me, especially the weird way you like it."
"Gasp! It's not that weird, honestly I started drinking it like that because of my cravings while I was pregnant and just never stopped. But don't lie to me, you like it just as much as I do even with the peach jam."
"Fine maybe I do."
He looked down at the time, "Let's hurry up a buy that before it gets too late."
~
He knocked at the door, shifting the bags in his hands as he waited for Alfred to open the door.
Martha waited outside with him even though she could easily phase her way inside.
Jason heard light footsteps before the door glided open.
"Master Jason what a wonderful surprise to see you here please do come in."
Alfred herded Jason inside taking note of the bags he held.
"Did you go shopping before coming here?"
"Uh yea, some of it is for you."
"For me master Jason?"
"I thought it would be rude to come empty handed so I bought tea."
"Very thoughtful of you, lets head to the kitchen to prepare a cup shall we."
Jason quickly looked towards Martha raising a brow
"You go enjoy your tea with Alfred I'm going to look for Thomas, I'll be back by the time you leave"
Jason gave a quick smile in return before quickly following Alfred into the kitchen.
"Hey Alfie we can use the new tea set I got today, let me just wash them real quick."
He turned around, not noticing Alfred's confused stare
"You bought a tea set master Jason?"
Jason turned around after quickly wiping them dry.
"Yeah look, they even have some lilies and forget-me-not's on them, saw them by the window of the shop and thought why not?" He half lied.
"I see, I haven't seen these two flowers paired up together in ...a very long time."
Jason turned towards the kitchen entrance as he heard two pairs of footsteps nearing. Both Bruce and Dick appearing in the doorway.
"Oh good you're both here, I'm about to prepare some tea master Jason brought over for us ,sit down please."
They walked over to the table, Dick quickly hugging him.
"You didn't tell me you were dropping by!"
"Get off, and yea it was impulsive decision."
"Hn, good to see you chum."
"Yeah, you too B."
Alfred walked over with the tea prepared, placing it on the table.
Dick leaned over to see the tray.
"What kind of tea is it?"
"Master Jason brought us cinnamon tea."
Dick looked over at Jason tilting his head, "Since when do you drink cinnamon tea?"
"Since none of your business."
Jason took a small sip before sighing, "Hey Alfred do you have any peach jam?"
Alfred hesitated before looking at him confused, "Peach jam? What for?"
"I like to mix it in with the cinnamon tea."
Alfred's eyes glazed over for a second before heading towards the refrigerator, "...I see, of course let me get some for you."
He quickly came back with a small jar and placed it on the table near Jason.
"Thanks Alf." He scooped up a spoonful and dipped it in his cup.
Bruce and Alfred glanced at each other.
Dick looked up from his own cup, "Does that actually taste good? Can I try some!"
He made a grab at Jason's cup, he quickly pulled it out of reach, "Don't touch mine! If you're really curious make it yourself."
Dick slumped on the table whining, "But what if I don't like it, I'll ruin my tea!"
"That's not my problem"
"Oh come oooon just a little sip!"
"No"
"Pleaseee!"
"Ugh you're worse than a nipping dog, fine!"
Before Dick could celebrate they heard twin startled noises. They turned around and Bruce was covered in tea in what seemed like he spit out his tea, both Alfred and Bruce were staring at Jason faces pale.
Jason glanced around confused, "What? Why are you looking at me like that."
Alfred straightened up clearing his throat, " Apologies master Jason you seem to have startled us a bit."
"With what?"
Bruce finally stopped coughing, "Nothing, you just...reminded us of someone."

I love everything about dad!Eddie!!!!!! It’s the cutest thing ever!!! Are your requests open? If so could I request dad!eddie with pregnant wife!reader and they’re little boy who’s so excited to have a little sibling? Their boy is convinced it’s a girl and Wayne somewhat is too and just lots of sweet fluff and their day to day as a family and Eddie being so infatuated with his pregnant wife 🥰🖤🖤 I just love the thought of Eddie being a dad and loving all on his pregnant wife
Dad!Eddie is my weakness! I actually thought this was a perfect setup for a part two to this story about Eddie picking your son up from school! I hope you enjoy this little family 🩷
Words: 3.5k
Tumblr media
“Eddie, I can do it myself,” you say with a chuckle. 
“Don’t be silly,” Eddie says. A low grunt escapes his lips as he loads himself up with as many grocery bags as he can. It wasn’t enough that he wouldn’t let you go shopping for food on your own, now he had to risk hurting himself by carrying everything in one go so you don’t pick up a single bag. 
Jack hops out of the backseat and holds his arms out for one of the plastic bags his dad has. Eddie obliges and lets him take two light bags, one for each hand. Usually, you do the grocery shopping alone, but now that you’re in your second trimester, your husband insisted that you have some help. It came at a price though. Having both Eddie and Jack at the grocery store made the food bill go up by twenty bucks because they kept grabbing things off the shelves that they thought looked good. 
“I’m not useless, you know,” you lament as you follow the two boys into the house. Jack can’t reach to lift the bags up to the counter, so you assist him with that, managing not to get scolded by Eddie. 
“Of course not,” he replies as he unburdens himself of the packages. He walks over and rests his hands on your emerging bump. “You’re growing our second baby.”
“My sister!” Jack chimes in. You and Eddie watch as the five-year-old grabs a chair from the kitchen table and drags it over the counter. His little arms and legs push him up so he can see the bags on the counter.
“Still think the baby’s a girl, huh?” you ask, walking to stand next to him. He nods as you wrap your arm around his tiny shoulders.
“I know it,” Jack states as if it’s the most obvious thing in the world. That was interesting to both you and Eddie, seeing as you had both elected not to find out the sex of the baby. “Grampa Wayne knows it too.”
“Wayne says he thinks it’s a girl, bud,” Eddie reminds him. Jack shrugs this off like it means nothing to him. “And what’re you doing up here at the counter?”
“Gonna help,” the boy answers as he pulls a bunch of bananas out of a bag.
“Sweetie, you don’t have to do that,” you tell your son. 
“Wanna,” Jack says with a shrug. “I’ll help Daddy and you can relax.”
“Good man,” Eddie says, ruffling the kid’s brown curls. Your husband’s eyes widen in question when you arch an eyebrow at him. “What? Raising a little gentleman here.”
“We are,” you acquiesce, leaning in to kiss Jack’s head. “But I’m not some weakling, guys.”
“Nope,” Jack muses as he inspects a jar of peanut butter. “You’re super strong, Mommy.”
The praise from your son makes you want to wrap him up in your arms and spin him around—but you’re pretty sure that would give Eddie a heart attack. 
“The strongest,” your husband agrees. He saunters over to you and wraps his arms around your waist. “The most beautiful.” He presses a kiss to your lips. “The sweetest.” Kiss. “The smartest.” Kiss. “The best.”
It doesn’t matter how long the two of you have been together, his words still cause heat in your face and butterflies in your belly. The way he stares into your eyes with such adoration and love has your knees feeling weak. You refuse to let them buckle though, or Eddie would have a cow. 
“Well, thank you, my studly charmer. But you might want to pay more attention to your son than me if you want to have any of the Oreos we bought.”
Eddie spins around to see chocolate crumbs dusted across Jack’s lips and cheeks, a sneaky smile on his face as he’s slowly pulling his hand out of the blue packaging. 
“Hey! Hands off my cookies, shortstuff!” 
Tumblr media
“How’s that feel, princess?” Eddie asks as you stretch the muscles of your torso out. There had been a cramp in your lower back that he just finished rubbing out. 
“So much better, thank you,” you say with a content sigh as you lean back against his chest. “If you keep calling me ‘princess,’ what’re you gonna call the baby if Jack is right and she’s a girl?”
Eddie hums as he wraps his arms around your body to rest them on your bump. “You underestimate the stash of pet names I have, baby. Angel? Little chick? Kitten?”
“You know I’m giving birth to a human, right?” you tease. Eddie slips his cold hands beneath your pajama top, making you let out a small yelp. Shoulders shaking with laughter, he reaches up and covers your mouth with one hand.
“Shhh, you’re gonna wake him up.”
Jack is fast asleep across the hall, but he’s always been a light sleeper. Neither you nor Eddie is looking forward to how cranky that will make the little boy once the new baby arrives and cries all night. 
“Have I ever told you how absolutely beautiful you are?” Eddie asks as he lays his head down on top of yours. 
“Mm,” you muse as you let your eyes slip closed. “Not in the last twenty minutes or so, no.”
Calloused hands rub softly over your bump, gentle and warm and relaxing enough to lull you to sleep. 
“You’re just s’perfect,” Eddie mumbles against your hair, more to himself than to you. His praise has your body flushing and you snuggle further back into his warmth. 
“Do you think the baby is a girl?” you ask, doing your best to push sleep off. 
“I don’t know. It’s what all those silly little tests we’ve tried have told us. So, I guess that’s what I’m leaning towards,” Eddie admits. “It’s no secret I want a daughter, but if we have another son, I’m going to love him every bit as much.” 
Nodding slowly, you lift one of his large hands to your mouth so you can press kisses on the rough skin there. 
“What about you?” Eddie asks. “Any motherly intuition telling you one way or another if Baby Munson Number 2 is a boy or girl?” 
“Nope,” you say. “Sorry to report that my body does not bring those findings to my brain. And what about you, huh? You’re the one who sent your swimmers to find my egg. You telling me that you don’t know if the best swimmer in your lineup is a boy or a girl?”
Eddie chuckles and presses a few quick kisses to the crown of your head. “We should get some sleep, babe.”
“M’kay.” 
You’re already halfway there as Eddie leans over and flicks the lamp on the nightstand off. As your husband maneuvers himself below you, you let him move you how he needs to, far too tired to even let out a groan when his knee somehow knocks against your spine. 
Eddie lays his head down on his pillow and pulls you into his arms. You waste no time tucking your head below his chin and nuzzling into the warmth and security of his chest. 
“Goodnight, baby. I love you.”
After a few moments of heavy silence being all that responds to his words, Eddie cranes his neck to catch a glimpse of your sleeping face. There’s a peacefulness about you when you sleep and the way your lips part slightly has Eddie chuckling. 
Yep, he sure was right before. You are just so perfect in his eyes. 
Tumblr media
Sunday family dinners are something Eddie only saw in movies growing up. Sure, he and Wayne had dinner together most nights but there was no other family to have dinner with. No aunts or uncles to come over or no grandparents to visit. Ever since Jack was born though, most Sundays have been family dinner nights. Sometimes some of your family would come over or you’d go over to theirs, but most weekends it was Wayne coming over or the three of you traveling the few miles over to Forest Hills to have dinner at the trailer. This week, Wayne is dropping by, and Eddie has enlisted Jack to help him make dinner. 
“Okay, now a teaspoon—no, that’s a tablespoon. There ya go. Dump that into the bowl. Perfect!”
Jack beams with pride and does a little wiggle on the chair he’s standing on. 
“Now what?” Jack asks.
“Now,” Eddie says as he plucks his rings off his finger one by one. Your son’s eyebrows furrow together when Eddie even takes off his wedding ring—that’s not one he usually removes. “We get our hands in there and mix everything together.”
“No rings?” Jack asks, pushing his sleeves up his little arms.
“No rings,” Eddie affirms. “I don’t want stuff to get caked in them.”
“S’not cake,” Jack tells his father with a giggle. “It’s meatloaf!”
“Silly me,” Eddie says. “Ready?”
Jack nods and the two of them stick their hands in the large bowl, raw ground beef squishing between their fingers and cold ketchup and egg yolks squelching as they work in tandem to combine the ingredients. Little giggles travel out to you in the hallway as you make your way towards them. Both of your boys have their backs to you as you enter, and you lean against the archway and cross your arms over your chest as you watch them. Their heads are close together and murmurs of their conversation sound like a dull hum from the few feet away. Eddie tries to move his hair out of his face by shaking his head, but to no avail. Chuckling to yourself, you push off the wall and slip a scrunchie off your wrist as you make your way to him. 
Eddie startles, not knowing you were there as you collect his hair at the back of his head. He lets out a self-deprecating huff of laughter as you tie the hair at the nape of his neck. The right shoulder blade beneath his black t-shirt is too tempting as it moves back and forth with the motions of his arms; you just have to press a kiss to it. A soft smile curls at the corners of Eddie’s lips as he and Jack finish mashing all the ingredients together. 
“It’s gonna be delicious,” you say as you snake your arms around your husband’s waist from behind. Resting your cheek against his back, you feel the muscles flex and stretch beneath his skin as he wipes his hands off on a towel.
“What should we have with the meatloaf?” Eddie asks.
“Sweet potatoes!” Jack cheers as Eddie tosses him the towel.
“Ooh,” you croon, picking your head up from Eddie’s back. “That sounds really good. With cinnamon and butter.”
“Yum!” Jack hums as he wipes his little hands off. 
“Whatever my loves want,” Eddie says. He turns in your grip to wrap one arm around your shoulders. “Guessing baby Munson wants sweet potatoes too?”
“Good guess,” you tell him with a peck on the cheek.
Eddie ends up preparing the root vegetables by himself because you fall asleep on the couch with your son curled up to your side, snoozing as well. He hardly minds though, preferring to be the one doing any and all work and letting you and Jack rest. The clock above the oven keeps catching his eye, checking to see if the time Wayne said he’d be by is approaching any faster. As happy as he is to be seeing the closest person he ever had to a parent, he doesn’t want the doorbell to disturb your sleep. Jack? That would be fine because then the little boy would be more likely to sleep through the night. You were so tired though from pregnancy that you could nap for hours and still sleep all night long. 
Deciding he could go for a cold beer, Eddie pops open the fridge and pulls out a can. He nudges the door closed with his hip but knocks it a little too hard and sends the jars and bottles that are on the inside of the door sliding around. Eddie winces and cracks open the beer can as quietly as he can. The sound of footsteps has Eddie groaning, but then he hears how fast and light they are, and he realizes it’s Jack who woke up.
“Dinner ready?” the sleepy boy asks, rubbing his right eye with the heel of his hand. 
“Not yet,” Eddie replies before taking a long swig of beer. “Soon, though. And Grandpa Wayne should be here any minute.”
“Daddy?”
“Yeah, kiddo?”
“Is the baby hurting Mommy?”
A deep frown creases Eddie’s face and he sets his beer down on the counter. 
“Of course not. Why would you think that?”
Jack shrugs and walks closer to his dad. Meeting him halfway through the kitchen, Eddie hefts the boy up and balances him on his hip.
“She’s always tired.” The five-year-old sighs and lays his head on his father’s shoulder. “She cries sometimes. An’ you don’t want her to do lots of stuff. Like when I get sick or hurted my leg.”
“Nah,” Eddie assures him with a shake of his head. “The baby isn’t hurting Mommy. It’s just that the baby is growing in her tummy and that takes a lot of Mommy’s energy. And it’s easier for her to cry because the baby growing makes her more emotional. Like when you’re tired, right? You get all cranky and whiny.” He tickles Jack’s belly, making the little boy giggle and squirm around in his arms.
“So, you don’t want Mommy to do stuff cause she’s tired?” Jack asks once he’s caught his breath. 
“That’s part of it. But it’s also because I love her so much. Mommy’s already doing so much just by growing a baby. That’s the most important job, so anything I do is to make things easier for her.”
“I wanna help. I love her too,” Jack says.
“I know.” Eddie presses a kiss into the boy’s curls. “You do help her.”
“How?” The adorable way he scrunches up his little face reminds Eddie of your expression when you get confused by something.
“By being you,” Eddie says, bouncing your son in his arms. “You make her happy and you make her laugh.”
“That helps?”
“So much!” Your voice has both of them turning to see you walking into the kitchen. The bright grin on your face tells Eddie that you heard enough of the conversation to know what’s going on. “I’m okay, sweet boy.” You rub the back of your fingers against his cheek, and he gives you a gap toothed smile. 
The ring of the doorbell has Jack’s head turning towards the front door and scrambling to get out of his dad’s arms. Eddie sets him down and the sound of little feet thumping down the hallway fades from the two of you. 
You expect Eddie to follow your son out of the room, but instead he wraps his arms around your waist and tugs your body up against his.
“How was your nap, beautiful?”
“Good,” you tell him as you slip your arms around his neck. “But I don’t like waking up without you there.”
“Mm,” Eddie hums. “Well, I would’ve been there if my little family didn’t want me to make sweet potatoes so badly.”
Playfully, you roll your eyes at him and lean up to press a quick kiss to his lips. “Not true. If you weren’t making food for dinner, you would’ve been doing something else so that I wouldn’t have to do it later. Throwing in a load of laundry or balancing the checkbook.”
“Don’t think you want me doing that last one again,” Eddie says, wrinkling up his nose in the way that you find utterly adorable. “I still don’t know where that seventy-five dollars went.”
“Guess you’re just going to have to let me handle some things,” you say with a shrug. 
Before Eddie gets the chance to respond, Jack’s booming footsteps run back into the kitchen, followed by a heavier gate approaching. 
“Grampa Wayne is here!”
You drop your arms from around Eddie’s neck, but he keeps his tight hold on your waist. 
“Tell him to take you out for pizza,” Eddie mumbles, too low for Jack to hear, as he lowers his head and presses a kiss to the side of your neck. 
“Down boy,” you mutter in reply and press your hands against his chest. Eddie groans and reluctantly drops his arms from around you. 
Wayne steps in the kitchen and ruffles Jack’s curls. “Hey, Ed. Hiya darlin’,” the older man says as approaches you. “How’re ya feeling?” 
“Feeling pretty good,” you tell him. “Your nephew is still treating me like I’m fragile, though.”
“Not fragile,” Eddie interjects. “Just precious.” 
The oven timer beeps, and your husband is immediately on it. He slips the oven mitts on and ushers Jack out of the way so he doesn’t get caught in the wave of heat that will escape.
Wayne steps up next to you and rests a comforting hand on your shoulder. “I know he can get a bit much,” the man says softly, “but he just wants to make sure his girls are taken care of.”
“Ah,” you hum, resting a hand on your bump. “Forgot you and Jack are both on Team Baby Girl.”
“What can I say? Kid is persuasive,” Wayne says with a playful look in his eye. 
“You’re telling me. All he has to do is look at me with those big brown Munson eyes and I almost cave and let him have that cookie before dinner that he’s begging me for. But I don’t think even Jack’s cuteness and coercion can determine the sex of a baby.”
“Maybe not,” Wayne says with a chuckle. “But he sure can make me wanna agree with him that the baby’s a girl.”
“She is!” Jack says, hopping over to stand in front of you. He leans in and presses a smacking kiss to your belly. “My sister. Can't wait to play with her.”
“You’re gonna be the best big brother ever,” you tell him, cupping his small chin in your hand. The way he smiles up at you fills your body with the warmth of love and affection. 
“Dinner is ready,” Eddie announces, dropping the oven mitts down on the counter. “Jacks, help me set the table.”
“I’ll grab the glasses,” you say. 
“Uh uh,” Eddie chides, stepping over and taking your hands in his. “I can handle—”
“Eddie,” you cut him off. “I can carry four cups.”
Heaving a sigh as if this is the world’s worst inconvenience, he acquiesces. “I guess that’s okay.”
“How kind of you,” you deadpan, arching an eyebrow at him. As you turn around to open the cabinet, Eddie watches you with an adoring smile. When you step into the dining room, Wayne lightly smacks his hand against his nephew’s back.
“She ain’t made of paper, ya know.”
“Oh, I know.” Eddie slips his hands into his pockets and cranes his head to watch you set down a glass at each place setting that Jack is organizing. “Part of me is amused by messing with her now. But mostly…” Eddie trails off, a shy smile curling the corners of his mouth. “I just wanna take care of my girls.”
“Team Baby Girl too, huh?” Wayne asks. 
“Oh yeah,” Eddie agrees with a laugh. “We’ve done all the old wives tale tests. She’s a girl.”
“Got a name?” Wayne asks.
Jack is still meticulously setting up the silverware at each seat at the table, but you make your way into the kitchen in time to hear Wayne’s question.
“We do,” you answer his query. “Wanna be the first to know?”
“Just don’t tell Jack,” Eddie adds.
“I’d be honored,” Wayne says.
Matching smiles on both your and Eddie’s faces, you nod at your husband for him to do the honors. Eddie’s face lights up and the childlike gleam in his eye makes him look like Jack’s twin. He takes a step closer to his uncle so the little one won’t overhear in the other room. Wayne leans in towards Eddie in anticipation. Your husband seems to notice this and takes enjoyment in keeping Wayne in suspense.
“Eddie, if you don’t tell him, I will.”
Grabbing a stack of napkins, you stroll past the two men and Eddie reaches out to swat at your ass.
“Come on and tell me, boy,” Wayne says, annoyance leaking into his tone.
“Fine, fine,” Eddie says, clearly enjoying himself. “Audrey. Audrey Munson.”
A little gasp has everyone turning their heads to see Jack standing in the doorway.
“Is that the baby’s name?” he asks.
“Uh, yeah,” Eddie says, clearing his throat. “If she’s a girl.” You hadn’t intended to let Jack know the name just in case you were all wrong and the baby was a boy—which you knew Jack would still love, but he’d be bummed he was wrong. But your son’s happiness has you and Eddie letting all of that go and enjoying his reaction.
Jack grins and starts jumping up and down in one spot, his little hands clenched into fists in his excitement. He runs over and cups your baby bump in his chubby hands.
“Hi, Audrey. I love you!”

A funny little idea that popped into my head with the bunny knight posts.
Rabbit faunus Jaune introducing his 'daughter' Juniper(small faunus version of the jackalope) to Velvet and her family
Little BunBun
Jaune was in the midst of a mission in a small village that had recently been attacked by, Grimm. Jaune, and his team had managed to defeat the, Grimm with minimal damage to the town. But, they were combing through the town checking the destroyed, buildings for any survivors, or if there may still be some, Grimm lurking about.
Jaune: Guys? How’s everything going; Any survivors?
Ren: None so far.
Nora: Found one! Pyrrha, give me a hand!
Pyrrha: On it!
Jaune: Need help?
Pyrrha: Don’t worry, I got him!
Jaune: Okay.
Jaune continued to walk through the town when he stopped abruptly, he heard some rustling in nearby bush. He raised his shield, and pointed his sword towards the sound. He slowly creeped forward, hearing the bush rustling more until it stopped when he came close. He bent down to look at the underbrush. And, saw something he didn’t expect.
Jaune: Oh… Well, hello there.
~~~
Jaune: So, yeah. That’s how all of this happened.
Velvet: Oh, that so sad…
Lulu: I can’t believe this could possibly even happen.
Ilaria: It’s more common than you may think… The same thing happened to me when we were younger.
Rumi: I have the scars to prove it.
Silk: And, it happened to this innocent child as well?
Lily: So… W-What’s her name?
Jaune: Oh yes, say hello to my adopted daughter, Juniper Arc. Say ‘hi,’ Juniper.
A small faunas girl slowly peaked out from behind, Jaune’s leg, before darting back behind his leg.
Jaune: It’s okay, Juni, they’re alright. Just like gramma, grampa, and all your crazy aunts.
The girl slowly appeared from behind, Jaune’s leg, and nervously waved at the, Scarlatina family.
Juniper: H-Hi…
Tumblr media
Ilaria: Well, hello there sweetie, my name is, Iliara, it’s nice to meet you~!
Juniper: Hi…
Lulu: She’s so cute~!
Lily: Oh~! I want one~!
Silk: She’s already got eight aunts… What’s wrong with one more…?
Velvet: How about another sibling instead~?
Rumi: This is… giving me ideas…
Iliara: You look hungry, do you want something to eat dear?
Juniper looked at them before darting back behind her adopted fathers leg. Jaune could feel her shaking nervously against him.
Jaune: Sorry, she’s scared around other people because of… Because of stuff.
Silk: What stuff?
Jaune: Stuff.
Lily: Best leave it at that.
Jaune: Give her some time, and some space, and she’ll warm up to you all eventually. So long as you don’t do what my mother did…
Velvet: What happened?
Jaune: Well…
~~~
Juniper: SHE’S. SO. PRECIOUS!!!
Juniper, Jaune’s mother squealed in delight as she hugged her first grandchild. She didn’t care if she was adopted, all that she cared was that she finally had her first grandchild, and that she was absolutely adorable.
Everyone was adoring watching, Juniper embrace her new grandchild, except for two people; Jaune who knew, Juniper, his daughter, had anxiety issues when it came to other people, and Juniper, the child, who was in the midst of said anxiety issues as she frantically tried to get out of her overbearing grip on her.
~~~
Jaune: Yeah, she started to hide behind something whenever mom got too close for comfort.
Ilaria: Oh my.
Jaune: So yeah, please give her some space, and time.
Lulu: Can do!
Rumi: I’ll make sure the others give her some space.
Silk: I gotta take a photo of this!
Lily: Awwww~! The way she clings on to him is so precious!
Velvet: She’s just a scared little bunny rabbit.
Ilaria: She reminds me of you girls when you were her age. A whole litter of scared little bunnies. Ahh, you were so adorable.
Jaune: Yeah, she is a… Hmm? What is it, Juni?
Jaune bent down to look into the eyes of his daughter after she pulled at his pants leggings. Looking into her beautiful golden eyes as she cutely stared at her adopted father.
Juniper: Dad, i’m hungry.
Jaune: Alright, lets get something to eat dear.
Jaune picked up his daughter, and held her in his arms, and turned to address the, Scarlatina family.
Jaune: Sorry, ladies. The little lady is hungry. We’re going to grab something to eat. We’ll catch you all later. Say, ‘goodbye,’ Juni.
Juniper: Bye.
IRVLLS: Awww~!
They waved back at the little girl as they watched the father, and daughter duo leave.
Velvet: That is the most beautiful sight I’ve ever seen.
Silk: I always had a feeling, Jaune would be a great father. And, he took to it like an eagle flying in the sky.
Lulu: Hey… Uhh…? D-Did any of you feel a sort of… throbbing feeling in your gut?
Lily: Now that you mention it, I kinda did.
Rumi: So did I.
Silk: Are we sick?
Velvet: I knew there was something off with that casserole we had yesterday!
Ilaria: Oh don’t worry, I know what this feeling is, I’ve had it before myself.
Silk: You have?
Ilaria: Oh yes, numerous times in fact.
Velvet: Then what is it?
Ilaria: A desire to do some baby making~!
Lily: WHAT?!
Lulu: That was my womb throbbing then?
Velvet: Did seeing, Jaune with, Juniper really do that to us?
Rumi: Dips.
Silk: Di…?! Fuck!
Lulu: Wait, are yoy two going to… with the aim of having his kids?!
Silk: I want to be a mom, and, Jaune has already proven he will be one hell of a daddy~! So why not?
Rumi: I’m at that age where I want to settle down, and have a family. Who better to do that with than, Jaune?
Ilaria: Care to make that a threesome sister? Maybe we can give our hips a break of we tag team him.
Rumi: Ha! That’s not gonna happen…
Ilaria: I know…
///
What do you think of the art? I couldn’t find any good art of a jackalope anime girl. So I found a cute bunny girl, and tweaked it so she looked like a faunas version of, Juniper.
Which was a nightmare to do that on my phone. Couldn’t get anything looking right…
Art isn’t mine.

Pen to Paper
Writer!femYuu and NRC students
(+Grampa Trein)
Tumblr media
Yuu didn't have much to offer this world. There wasn't much she was good at. All she had were loose stories she vaguely remembered from her old world. She just wanted to remember that world. (Bare with me. I'm trying to convey this as best as I can with a kind of meta subject)
Trein made his assignment easy for the week. Just write about an interesting event from their homeland.
But Yuu didn't know much about this world and while it might have been interesting stories within it she could help that she had no connection to it. She felt it when she thought about her world. Or worlds to be exact.
She had asked Trein to help her due to her lack of knowledge.
"I simply asked for you to write about the lands you come from. If you come from another world it's all the more reason to write about it." rein said gently. He could probably see how much the assignment troubled her.
Yuu wondered what her classmate would think about her home and her old life. Still, she decided to write.
It was hard to explain but she started where she began.
Tumblr media
In a land, in a kingdom, in a city, in the heavens. This was where she was born. In the land of gates, Halos.
The floating city was the center of the many realms that bordered it, it was also called the Nexus. It was a given that it's people were called "Travelers", those who dedicate their lives to seeing worlds unknown.
The young girl loved her home and never wished to leave. Even though she watched her friends come and go, she couldn't bear to.
But staying had a cost. Unlike the others, she never gained abilities bestowed on them as rewards for journeying into the unknown. She didn't even have wings to fly like the others.
One day she was given no choice but to leave. Life in Halos was becoming dangerous. To escape she was forced to jump through a gate and sent to another realm.
Tumblr media
Trein skimmed the pages again. Was that it? That's not even a full story.
"Miss Yuu. You put alot of thought into this I'm sure but this isn't even a complete story." Trein only glared skeptical when Yuu smiled meekly.
"Well that's the thing. This story is called "The unfinished ballad" it's one of the first stories of my people. It's also the first story children learn." Yuu shyly rubbed the back of her head as she spoke. She knew this story the most considering how popular it was.
"It's supposed to be unfinished then? What kind of story is that? Not to be rude but I've never heard of something like that." Trein had seen many things but never heard of a culture like that. It certainly sounded like another world.
"Yeah, some stories are left unfished for a reason. One, to remind people that not everything has a conclusion, and two, so that we can write our own endings. For thousands of years, my people have rewritten and remained the story and what happened next. Everyone has their own version." Yuu reasoned. She had never thought of it as strange. This world was different so they had different ideas.
Trein while he understood still wasn't satisfied. He let it go regardless but encouraged Yuu to tell her stories regardless.
Though he wondered if her story was true or a fairy tale.
Tumblr media
"And Molly turned to the giant after she crossed the bridge the wight of a single hair and yelled. Oh, and Molly could yell!" Yuu took in a deep breath. "Never more churl, I'll come to Spain! I've come and I've bested you thrice."
All the children cheered as Yuu waved her hands around.
"The giant still angry at the little thief shook his fat fist and yelled, 'I'll get you Molly Whoopy! Never you terry here again or I swear I'll eat you from tips to toes'!" The children jeered and laughed at Yuu giant voice.
A little later story time was over and the kids had left the library. Yuu dusted off the chalkboard that had read "Tales from the Other World: Damsels causing Distress." It was her biweekly presentation of stories from her homeland.
As she cleaned up her props she heard a shifting behind her. When she looked up it was a few of her classmates "Rook, Kalim, and Cater" an unexpected but understandable combination. They hung out apparently. The strange part was why they were here. They weren't exactly library types nor had kids to take here.
"You didn't think I'd find you here huh freashie?" Cater teased holding up his phone to show her the library's magicam promotional post with her in the picture.
"How did you manage to find this place?" Yuu asked sheepishly.
"I'm very good at finding you." Rook smiled wryly.
"I just tagged along," Kalim added.
"And now that I posted your adorable little show everyone will know!" Cater teased holding his phone up to show her.
Yuu flushed in embarrassment. Everyone would see her talking in silly voices and waving puppets around.
"Carter you should ask to post stuff like that." Yuu's nose crinkled in frustration.
"That's not fair. The library has videos of all your shows, why can't I?" Carter argued.
"That's different, it's for the kids who can't come to all the shows. Besides no one at school could find them unless they already knew about it but everyone knows your socials." Yuu crossed her arms.
"Yuu. It's time to go." A voice interrupted.
Trein stood behind the group with Lucius trotting behind him. He had been the one to help Yuu set up the show with the library after Yuu expressed an interest in telling stories. It was after she started staying with Trein and babysitting for his granddaughters.
"Oh, sorry. I need to grab my props and I'll be right there."yuu said before waving goodbye. "Can we stop at Ana's bakery before we get home?"
"Only if you don't give any to Lucius. Even if he begs." Trein warned.
Tumblr media
The video circulated over the weekend. Almost everyone in school had seen at least one of the storytime videos. Everyone wanted to hear more about this world with stories they had never heard. Each story had a preface about the region and the history of its origin and even if unintentional it was educational.
Next week's show was "Over the Hills and Through the Woods"
Yuu held her breath when she realized how big the crowd was with families faces watching.
She pretended not to notice Ortho sitting up front with the kids who sat criss-cross applesauce on the colorful paymat.
Riddle also sat close to the front since the rules stated that the shortest goes to the first. The parent usually hung back at the tables so no to get in the way.
Even Leona was present though he appeared to not really care along with Ruggie. Jack on the other hand was laser-focused on Yuu as she moved her props. Perhaps he knew that the first story was "The Wolf".
"Gather around children and listen to my tale, of a little girl who walked through the woods," Yuu said mysteriously as the lights dimmed on queue. "Stories about children getting in trouble then they wonder beyond their yard are common across the world and it's no different in mine. But today's tale comes from a storyteller I once met."
Yuu tapped a button and suddenly music began to play.
The music was light and festive like a carnival.
"It was the folktale festival held in town and everyone young and old was there to share and tell their tales. From encounters with kings to meeting the fea everyone had a story." At the fea line the dragon and bat fea perked up a bit.
"I was eager to hear a certain teller and was running late because I just had to get the last turkey leg before anyone else got it. Unfortunately the crowd was so big and not even a mouse could squeeze by." She emphasized the word by squishing her cheeks.
The teens in the crowd wouldn't admit it but one of the reasons they were there was seeing how cute Yuu was when she acted for the show. From the funny voices to exaggerated movements.
"There was only one path that cut through the grass but the sign said no walking on the grass. And well I didn't walk. I dashed. But soon enough I learned how important rules are. Just like someone else in our first story." With that Yuu picked up a small basket and inside was a a red scarf. She wrapped it on her head and began .
"Once there was a girl from a village of people who only wore fine red clothes. Scarfs, hats, coats and hoods. The little girl was packing her bag to visit her grandmother who lived in the woods but her mother pulled her by her hood. The mother wore a beautiful scarlet scarf that she never removed and told her daughter. Don't travel in the woods after dark. The wolf will snatch you by the head and nothing will be left. But Red shook her head. I won't mom I promise. It's still light and I will be quick." Yuu clicked her tongue and the crowd knew what to expect next.
"You see Red didn't believe in the wolf. A wolf hadn't attacked in many years and certainly not during the girl's lifetime. So she had no fear but she didn't want to worry her mother. And off she was. Over the hill and through the woods to grandmother's house she went, but as she went further the woods got darker and quieter. Until she could only hear the sound of blood in her ears and her own heartbeat. As if time had chosen to spite her and rush forward the sun was setting faster. And faster. " the story had begun to take a darker turn and everyone was on edge. "But the night was lovely. She smelled moonlit flowers and hopped over bubbling streams. The air was crisp. Fireflies dotted the air. She wondered why her family hated the night so. What beauty it held."
"The shadows grew longer and the moon had taken the sun's place. And yet she heard nothing. Not even the snap of a twig. The bath grew longer and twisted unfamiliarly. Yet the girl was enchanted. What fun! What adventure! Then she heard it. Breathing. Like puffs of air on her neck. Hot like the lick of flames. Red didn't stop walking knowing that hesitation meant death." Yuu paused.
The audience stared in breathless expectation. Trying to figure out what comes next. Does the girl die? Does she live?
" Then it was gone. The air was cool and all was calm. Then she saw the hazy light of a little cottage in the woods and she ran to the door that opened to a kind old woman in a red scarf. She called to her grandmother and they hugged. They ate dinner and Red washed up for the night. And as she lay and bed she spoke. What a night I had. I traveled through the woods at night and there was no wolf this time. I knew that it was nothing. But as she turned to sleep a shadow in her window spoke. It's red piercing eyes gaping maw open in a sneer." Yuu held a breath before continuing in a deep voice "Oh, but you must travel through those woods again and again... said a shadow at the window... and you must be lucky to avoid the wolf every time... But the wolf... the wolf only needs enough luck to find you once."
The room was silent. The children looked on in shock, fear and amazement. Parents nodded along in amusement knowing a good scare could stop their child from doing something wrong.
Jack liked that story, alot. In fact the Savanaclaws found the story to be something worth hearing and hilarious. Leona would have liked it better if the girl got eaten.
Riddle liked the lesson most.
Floyd and Jade also liked it and compared it to the "Wolf eel" a mer version of the tale. It was far more bloody.
"That's why you must listen to rules my dears. Something I learned as well. When I tried to cross the grass as I dashed and scampered. But every step didn't get me any closer to the tent I wanted to go to. It was as if I was going in circles as I heard the singing from the music tent I felt like I had just passed. Suddenly I saw myself walking toward a different tent a bright red one with yellow trim, green ropes, and blue stakes in the ground that was on the grass. I didn't realize it at first but as I sat down for the show everyone else in the tent was not people like me. They had bright colorful hair, hooves, horns, wings, and other non-human traits. I was in fact among the fae. Not totally uncommon in my realm but usually the stuff of storytellers only. Hardly unusual here but the fae of my realm are different from yours plus that's hardly the most unusual people I've met. I once got invited to a banquet of demons and angels just to settle an argument but that's another tale. I stayed and listened to their stories as they welcomed me. We laughed, danced, and shared more tales still. When it was time to leave I said my goodbyes and left the tent. And the festival grounds were empty even though it would be three more days until was over. I should have known better than to party with the fae when I had plans. I never got to listen to the storyteller I wanted to meet. That's another reason we follow the rules." Yuu said finishing the first round of stories.
The crowd laughed seeing that Yuu was more concerned about missing an event then being trapped with the fae.
Another reason to come to these shows is Yuu's personal stories were so wild. No one knew if they were true or not. If you asked she'd say the same thing "Truth is stranger then fiction."
(I finally freed it from my drafts after months. And I swear my dyslexia is getting worse.)

Working on a wee comic with the octonauts grampa squad bc animation burnout is hitting HARD
I realized I dont have established designs for Natquick or Ranger Marsh, so heres them in both their work outfits, plus casual clothes ^^
Tumblr media
Right- So, some notes ab their work fits:
you may have noticed these guys are my only octonauts designs w/ proper shoes. There is a reason for that, and no its not just bc i figured out how anthro footwear works.
Ranger marsh gets thick soled boots because working in the everglades means venomous snakes and spiders such as coral snakes and black widows- which would not be fun to step on barefoot. Even for a rabbit with thick fur on their feet. Not to mention, said fur also traps mud very easily.
As for Natquick, He gets fluffy boots because his paw-pads on his feet are very sensitive. Arctic foxes have thick fur not just on their bodies, but on their paws as well to protect them from the cold. Natquick however is much less fluffy than animals of his species tend to be. This is because during his time in the Antarctic- there were struggle periods where it became hard to find food. He became malnourished and started shedding fur. As a result he spend more time in the research station, and the rough floors weren't exactly the most pleasant to walk on.
Other than that, its basically exactly the same as their cannon fits besides minor color changes.
Tumblr media
Now for their Casual Fits:
Natquick's is a cozy sweater, + a Tshirt Tracker gifted him. :D it reminds him of summer, which is certainly comforting in the cold. The scar on his leg? a result of frost-bite. While he was doing feild research in the Antarctic- and avalanche caught him of guard. His leg got caught under some ice. He waited there for almost a day before a group of penguins found him and helped him out. (i dont have a story for the scar on his snout yet)
As for Ranger Marsh, his is the same shorts he always wears, + a tanktop. when he was much younger, he went on a family camping trip at a national park. As their family traveled a lot, it was a pine-forest, somewhere in North America rather than the swampy everglades he was used to. the trip was what made him wanna be a park ranger. The tank-top was something he had gotten from the parks gift shop. As for the wrappings on his shoulder- The green patches of his fur are much more sensitive to the harsh sun than the brown patches are. He does his best to shield himself from the sun- by using things like his hat and working in the shade. But Sunburns still happen, and they can be pretty nasty at times.
Hope you guys like these designs! They were really fun to make!
+ it gave me an excuse to rewatch "Operation Deep Freeze" ^^

Ok, so we know you dont like the freak thats sunder.. but do we like the old gilf (grampa i would fuck) that is Kup???
-Pest 🐀
Tumblr media
Ok so you DID ask this twice and i probably shouldn't reward persistance but i gotta hand it to you.
OKAY SO I HAVENT READ OR WATCHED ANYTHING TOO TERRIBLY RECENT THAT FEATURES KUP-
but i did watch the transformers: the movie- and i did want to fuck that old man.
I don't have any RECENT art of kup, and i probably should draw him more honestly bc in my mind thats- hes- GGHRHG he's a fucking leather daddy and im so into that i need him carnally.
I DIDNT THINK I HAD THAT MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT KUP I THINK IVE BEEN POSSESSED-
Tumblr media
I'd let him put his cygar out on my tongue-
CHRIST I NEED TO BE SO NORMAL
i can't be coherent about kup but I feel like he gives the vibes of a guy who likes younger men, like STONE TOP kup is very much real for me. I think he's into discipline and training and pain and that kinda thing, like he's a bully. i joke about bullying characters sexually, kup would do that for realsies and for serious.
I gotta draw more kup pussy indulgence, remind me to draw more kup pussy indulgence-
Tumblr media
says i don't have any recent art. draws new art for the ask when i initially didnt feel like it.

hey, i read your upper moons x goth reader headcanon and i was wondering that what if upper moons have female lolita reader ? Like she is wearing cute easthatic clothes
Ngl when I read the word "female lolita" I choked on the air, then I read further and I has like "ahhhhhhh victorian clothes". Anon, you almost gave me an attack (I've read the book).
Friendly reminder this freaks are in Taisho Japan, but most of are from Edo Japan, so they would have their own opinions about a style based on the Rococo French (bruh, France, Portugal, Spain and England colonizing the world is one of the reasons Japan closed their borders in Edo 😭, Japan ALWAYS hated outsiders, it is NOT a WWII thing).
Tumblr media
How do the Uppermoon feel about your asthetic? Victorian inspired styled (lolita) Female Reader
Warnings: Slight infantilization (not sexual), Implied xenophobia (these are mostly japanese men from edo, like... c'mon.), Mentioned cross-dressing, Kokushibou being a grampa x2 and Akaza's implied angst (bit of spoilers of his backstory).
Tumblr media
Gyutaro:
Ok, here is the thing.... it's too much. He can't even keep out with the amount of details your robes (are those even robes? He can't tell at all) are making him dizzy. Also, it looks expensive... and uncomfortable, even if he knows that is not relevant in the world of beauty. Isn't it a bit too tight on the waist? Why is the skirt so pompous? Is it not hard to walk with those? And don't get him starting with those shoes, he hates them. And it wasn't him... but Gyutaro threw afaw your make up, not feeling confident that it wasn't toxic (Daki's isn't any better, but she can stand it). "You don't like it?" You ask as you spin to show him your newest set of clothing, seeing he is not very enthusiastic about it.
Usually he would like anything that goes against Japan's beauty standard, but this is not too different to like nor similar enough to hate. And he really wants to like it, because you like it and dressing like that makes you happy. He knows that, and really wants to tell you he likes it, that he likes how you look (because he likes how happy you look), but in the end "Ne... fuck it, my taste is shit anyways, ne." Gyutaro is doing no compromises.
Gyokko:
Gyokko straights adores it. De details! The uniqueness! The details! The mix of empowerenment and innocence in the skirt! The tightness is perfect, showing your body shape better than any kimono, making your curves visible. Round and symetric, the perfection of the world in shapes but with way too flashy and uncharacteristic colours, make up to make your skin glow up, he can't help but get into it. He adores the dresses, and sometimes he is tempted in using a female canvas with one of those, it would look beautiful! Kitsch! Definetely the perfect complement for his arts.
"I know that is I give you one I won't be recieving it back, if you are going to wear it or make another girl wear it it's the same." You argue when he asks for some of your materials, the only thing you let him get away with are the hair accesories and jewelry, not because those are easy to find, but because the dress can get to be... too much, even for you, that you won't be missing them as much. Also, you can trust Gyokko to do your hair and make up, so you must be able to give him things that go from your neck to above, He is as supportive as he can be, being Gyokko.
Hantengu:
It's... intimidating, everything put together. The heels make you taller and make too much noise against the wood, the robe (it's... it's a robe, right? What do you mean it's not? Then what is it?) in the skirt takes up a lot of space, more than a kimono, but besides that, it's pretty. And it suits you because of it, since you are pretty. He doesn't know how to voice it, but it's something nice to look, even if it's not easy on the eyes because of the amount of details, it makes him feel tipsy.
Sometimes he halps you with your hair and make-up, he knows how to make ponytails and braids, and besides a clear base your make up it's not so hard to do (when his pulse is not working against him, of course). He is more than supportive, even if he doesn't find the words to describe it.
Sekido:
"So? What do you think?" You ask Sekido and... he just looks at you for 5 minutes straight, a face that clearly says "are you kidding?" as he then proceeds to examine what you wear. A new dress, like the other one, full of details and looking uncomfortable as fuck, besides that too many accesories for his liking, but... you do seem happy, and he knows you like expressing yourself that way. "Looks good." Better than anything Urogi and Karaku can pull, he tells himself, and you do look good.
As long as he doesn't have to wear himsef any of that, the make-up, the produced hair-styles, the gloves, the heels, the skirt... everything is too much. Honestly, if you give him any of those as a gift, or even just lending or trying it on him, then he will give it to Karaku to lose it and Urogi to destroy it. He will support you in whatever you want to wear, it's not his problem, he sees the beauty in it, but it's not for him.
Karaku:
Karaku thinks it's cute. Something about it screams "childish" and "indulging", the feeling of being down below and on top at the same time. He has heard foreign, the ones you buy all this expensive stuff from, the term "kitsch" to describe it, "bad taste". He likes it, so you should not be surprised when he starts stealing these dresses for you, enjoying how... "flashy" it is. The details, the heels, the weird sizes, the tightness in the waist and the curves? What it's not to like? And you look happy in those.
After a while he also starts stealing things for himself, barely using them, but every once in a while he likes to mess around with this type of clothing. It's not the most comfortable, specially since it was desighned to be for women (men's attire is completely different, and he finds it boring compared to the ones you use), it's just to cause trouble. To look pretty and, in his body, like a pervert. These are good laughs, even if you don't feel the sime, but you are glad he is vocal about liking your style.
Urogi:
Urogi adores it, he thinks it's unique. "I have never seen anything like this before." He comments as he takes away a piece of the hair accesories, pulling it and toying with it in his hands, wearong doesn't seem as nice as it would be to make a nest with it. You answer that it's mostly based from an old style from Europe, another continent, a concept you have to explain to him. Urogi gets curious and asks as much as how did you get these things and about the continent they come from, you have never been there so you answer as much as you can.
"It's weird to be able to trade with humans beyond the see, last time I check they were a possible menace and pest. Didn't the borders close in Edo because of them?" He tries to understand, but because he was alive in that time he is the one that should be explaining it to you. He seems more interest in the concept of being from outside than the look itself, but he does steal your things to build nests. Besides that, he is not that interested, and you can't trust him with your stuff (not even the make up, he ate it once).
Aizetsu:
Aizetsu thinks it looks... young... childish sometimes. That is not exactly a good thing. He knows you want to look cute, but... can't you at least wear something less indulgent? It looks expensive, and damn him if he doesn't feel melancholic when he sees the bill of those things you wear. (Leave it to the west, he swears they always battle to make things the most expensive they can, should have kept the borders closed). Also, it doesn't really look comfortable. with everything over it he can't tell you you are reaching to look like yourself or look how you would like to be seen, because it's too much effort to, everyday fix your hair, make up, wear clothes that are hard to walk and run with (and surrounded by demons, no less).
Aizetsu always thought it was sad how it was expected for women to "fix" themselves for their families, for their husbands, for their society, and he doesn't know what to think while seeing you. "So, what do you think?" You show him another set, he has been thinking into asking help from Karaku and Hantengu to get money (stealing it, what else?) so he can at least support you a bit, because no matter his thoughts on the matter, you seem happy in those dresses. "It looks fine." So he plays along (even if he thinks he is cuter when making sad puppy eyes than you with all those things, maybe that is why he doesn't understand the effort. He doesn't need it, why do you?)
Nakime:
"I'm not wearing any of that." Is the only thing Nakime said before leaving with her biwa to another room-dimension-floor-whatever after you came with another one of those dresses of that style you wear. You know, skirt at the lenght of the knee (at most), many details, tight on the waist, socks over the knee, hair accesories and make-up powder, but in black and grey, asking her her to wear it. You thought it would look cute on her, she didn't agree. Nakime... doesn't like it, it feels odd for her, too foreign for her liking, because she does like luxurious items, the hause has them, but she likes traditional luxury. This is... too European.
Also, Nakime feels is a bit... infantilizing in some point, so she would rather avoid the experience of wearing it at all. She has never shown or vocalized her dislike because in her view it has nothing to do with you, she doesn't like it, but you do. You can wear whatever you want, it's not her job to police you, but she is not even going to try it on, no matter how much you ask. Nakime can and will also compliment you from time to time, only to feed you confidence, but she is not more supportive than that.
Akaza:
He... feels weird about it, there is something that he doesn't like and he doesn't know- fuck it, Akaza knows exactly what he doesn't like, the fact that you, as a woman, are trying to dress more like you were younger, the lenght of the skirt is the one you would expect only in young children, he remembers Edo, he used to dress.... forget it , he did, the thing is, you are a young lady, why look like a child with all the pink and details and fragile looks like she had. She was sick, he had to take care of her. Why are you reminding him she was just a girl? A girl who dresses with pink, the patterns were not as flashy as they couldn't afford more, but he would have given her more. "Akaza?"
He looks at you are you where showing him another set and he zoomed out. He looks at you a bit lost before answering quickly "Yeah... yeah, it looks nice. Soft pink... it's nice." He wants to take care of you, but not in the usual way, he wants to fix you beddings and set you there and talk you to sleep, keeping awake as he looks down at you, hopefully soundly sleeping, waking you up from nighmares and comforting you after. To bring you food and check your temperature, not let you up. He doesn't understand it, why would he want to treat you like a child? He can't get it, so he can't like it. "It's nice."
Douma:
Douma likes it, it's knew, foreign. He doesn't have many outsiders as followers, five at most if he is not wrong, but his cult recieves them nonetheless. He must admit, just one had a style any remotely similar to yours, European, and he ended up killing that same follower. It was not personal, they were not liked around in general, carrying too much silly ideas of their own nation to accept the superiority of those in front of him, accusing Douma of being a demon, so he got silenced. Honestly, it's entertaining, the details, the shape, the make-up, the heels... it's all so outstanding.
Douma adores new things, new tastes, anything than can kill monotony and boredom. But besides that? He doesn't care. You can dress whatever you want and he couldn't care less, and once het gets used to this look then he will stop caring. His only interest is to see more of this foreign culture, and take a bite id he can. He will not point your looks out, mostly not wanting you to be berated for them, since it's hard to get along with Europe, it has always been, so you could say he is ignoring it.
Kokushibou:
So.... Kokushibou will not say an opinion... but he will. "It looks inappropriate." Really, the skirt is a bit short, showing from your knees to below or even more... you are a young lady, not a child, you should be covering properly. Women in his times did (we heard you gramps 😅). Also, the details are too much and it gives off the impression that you expend too much money on yourself (the proces really are not at your favor in that argument) and are seeking too much od spotlight, it defies what a proper lady should look like, with simple grace and humble wealth (as if that existed 😒), and he dislikes it. It does follow some of Japan's beauty standars, like the use of clear bases and make-up that doesn't fight your natural skin tone, so he doesn't hate it.
Still, while he has never told you how you should dress, he really doesn't like it. It's clearly a foreign style and, honestly? He is not impressed, it's clearly meant to be for those who lack the discipline of the Japanese traditions, meant to break the links with the ancestors and the values in simplicity. What else could he expect from outsiders? The fact that you use that... clothes only for the sake of indulging proves him right! (Yeah, yeah, go to sleep Kokushibou) So don't you dare including him in... this phase of yours. (... at least he is not fainting of horror 🤣).

I wonder if there's any songs the guardians can't listen to, or just skip when they play on shuffle. Peter can't listen to Brandy because it just reminds him of his mother and of Ego. Maybe whenever he 'returns' his grandpa could have it playing on a record, and Peter just asks to turn it off, prompting an awkward conversation.
On a more humorous note Rocket can't listen to Crazy on You, especially around windows, without getting nervous. I'm imagining a scene where it comes on and Adam just appears behind him and sighs and says "This was playing the first time we met." And Rocket just waits a second and says "You crashed through a window and almost killed me with your flashy lazer hands but yeah, get nostalgic about it."
when i tell you i CACKLED. i scared my cats
i can absolutely imagine rocket staring up at adam with his most deadpan expression like are you shitting me right now and adam being completely clueless, just a small little wistful smile on his golden face. i suspect that adam sometimes calls rocket dad and rocket is like.... absolutely not.
(sure, rocket, whatever you say)
pete's all well grampa i met my dad and. i mean you probably guessed he wasn't a great guy since he took off on mom and all. but whatever you're imagining, it was worse. and he, uh-
grampa probably says something like no need to say more, pete. i've hated that guy since the first time your mom mentioned him. seemed like a real piece of work. he takes the record off the player and offers it to pete. do you want to break it?
maybe they do break it, or maybe they don't. either way, catharsis is had, and pete is relieved, and the record is never played again. pete picks out something new, and the two of them sit and bitch - rightfully - about ego, and pete talks about how he's pretty sure all his friends except groot and maybe drax have had terrible dads -
and at some point, between the dry laughter and the can you believe its, just under the low croon of aretha franklin and over the quiet whisper of the newspaper pages and the clink of the coffee cups on the table - pete tells his grandfather how lucky meredith had been, to have him for a father.

HGSN 21-2
Chapter (Japanese)
(Please hit the green thumbs up at the end of the chapter to show support)
Rough translation by me
P1
(map: simplistic map of Kubitachi)
Tumblr media
Yoshiki: Here's what we know so far
Yoshiki: Nounuki-sama was a god that granted wishes in exchange for "something"
Yoshiki: After a famine, it was deemed a tatarigami and prevented from coming down the mountain
Hikaru: I guess it was like "sealed" or something
Yoshiki: Probably
Yoshiki: And during that famine, villagers died in large numbers. Also, it seems the Indou men have used "Hichi-san" to do some kind of ritual on the mountain for generations.
P2
Hikaru: Huh... Well, I guess they're doing the sealing, though I don't really know. Even though there's no way Hikaru wouldn't know about the ritual, I...
Yoshiki: It's 'cause your imitation is full of holes...
Hikaru: Yeah, you're right
Yoshiki: And that all of the settlements in this area used to be one village. What's with all the weird names?
Yoshiki: And also how this land was difficult for the feudal lords to interfere with...
Yoshiki: It seems that because of that, people with heretical faiths fled here.
Yoshiki: Before Western religion came here, was there Nounuki-sama worship?
P3
Hikaru: Hmmm...maybe they thought it was creepy? Like "These guys are worshipping some kind of weird god, let's stay away!" kind of thing.
Yoshiki: That might be true. Maybe they believed in some of it. Like in a "curse".
(txt: "Curse?" added in red marker)
Yoshiki: And then...regarding you
Yoshiki: Kurebayashi-san said this
Hikaru: Me?
P4
Yoshiki: You gather impurities like a lightning rod, but you aren't an impurity
Yoshiki: You're some kind of gigantic mass, something like hell, and a being on the outside of the cycle of samsara.
Hikaru: So she said that stuff about me. Kind of hard to understand her expressions...
Yoshiki: I guess you're a god?
Hikaru: Isn't that it? They do attach "-sama" to my name.
Hikaru: If I'm a god, why do I have so many worries...
Hikaru: ...Hey
P5
Hikaru: I...well, it's because I left the mountain that the impurities that accumulated on the mountain poured out
Hikaru: If that's the case...
Hikaru: then if I just go back to the mountain...
Yoshiki: Didn't you say you finally found a place to belong? That's no good
Yoshiki: Kurebayashi-san said she'd help too. With the two of us, we'll...look for a way
Hikaru: Mm....
Yoshiki: That reminds me, the day before yesterday, you came to my place at night.
P6
Hikaru: Oh, uh...yeah
Hikaru: I went. Probably.
Yoshiki: What was that about?
Hikaru: My memories are foggy
Hikaru: so I don't really know
Hikaru: Why did I do that?...
Hikaru: I...
P7
(sfx: DING - DONG)
Yoshiki: Excuse me!
(txt: Takeda Family House)
(sfx: cicadas: kumazemi)
Hikaru: Grandpa Takeda is an old man who won't leave his house right?
Yoshiki: That's right
Hikaru: You think he'll actually talk to us properly? Even Uncle Takeda is already scary...
Yoshiki: It's a lead... Won't hurt to try.
P8
??: Yes, yes, what is it...? You're the Indou's...? How unusual... What are you here for?
Yoshiki: Ah-umm. We had a few things we wanted to ask Grandpa Takeda...for a research project type thing...
??: Ask my father-in-law? Impossible, not when he's like that...
??: He won't even go outside, what do you want to ask?
Hikaru: Oh!
(Kurebayashi: If you run into trouble, you can mention my name.)
(Kurebayashi: Even a housewife like me can call in a few favors here and there...)
P9
Hikaru: This person named Kurebayashi asked us to come here, I guess you could say...
??: Kurebayashi?
??: If I recall, the name of the person my father-in-law was looking for was...
??: Wait just a moment.
(sfx: cicada cries: kumazemi)
Hikaru: Just what kind of person is that auntie...

Next chapter: 2023/09/26

Tubbo: Groyvle (Frozen in time/Time related things. Looks like how I imagine her, I like the idea of him not being a fully evolved mon I think it oddly fits her)
Spreen: Hisuian Typhloshion!!!!! (Guy who is like darker colors and the ghost typing is such a cool like. hint towards his tragic fate of fucking dying. Plus works well with Fit and Ramon being normal types)
DanTDM: Shiny Sceptile (works mostly with my specific QSMP dragon lore but TLDR is that Tubbo and Dan are really similar genetics wise and look almost identical, but Dan's fully evolved while Tubbo hasn't really mastered it yet hence. Shiny Sceptile (which is more blue so its fitting)
Bad: Yveltal (Death vulture thing, Dark Type, God-related status, Immortal)
Jaiden: I know the obvious choice is like Chatot but. I like to think she'd be an Archeops I feel like she'd be a raptor of some kind and Archeops is like both that and a parrot it feels made for her…. SHE'D HAVE HER NORMAL COLORS THOUGH I THINK
Pac: Shiny Dusk Form Lycanrock: I like to think Q!Pac is some kind of shiba hybrid so he's GOTTA be a dog and Shiny Dusk Lycanrock is the EXACT colors

Baghera: KILOWATTRELLLLLL i dont think any of the ducks fit her and I fucking LOVEEEE kilowattrel i think it's a really fun choice for her
Roier: Midnight Lycanrock I like to think Roier is an African Wild Dog and I think it makes this guy fit him! Plus he's red and emo which is fitting i think
Foolish: Palafin! I don't wanna give him Sharpedo because i think it'd be a bit too silly, and Garchomp is for Leo, so Palafin!! Works well with me imagining him as a Sawshark anyways…
Phil: Honchkrow. IT LITERALLY LOOKS LIKE HIMMM ITS SUCH A GOOD MON FOR HIM hes not corviknight because thats my c!phil headcanon plus i feel like q!phil's less intimidating

Flippa: Goomy. u'll never fucking guess why
Leo: GABITEEEEEE its a shark dragon its MADEEEE for her honestly

It occurred to me at one point that since it's our grandpa who owned the farm, you could have an infinite amount of cousins who own the farm.
So now two of my farmers are cousins who realised they were both working at the same company after a department transfer and both decided to leave their soul sucking jobs to become farmers.
One of them is my main female farmer when I started using mods for the first time, like expanded. The other is my male farmer who I'm using to explore Ridgeside.
They are basically gender bent versions of their grandparents save for a few differences like skin tone.
So, you know how some of the villagers know about your grandparents? Like Lewis, Evelyn, the cult, the adventure guild etc
How would the characters who knew about Grandpa and Grandma react to seeing how similar the farmer is to their grandparents. Like, the farmer does something that really reminds them of grandpa/grandpa or they notice they have the exact same eyes.
Oh, how I enjoy reading people's stories with their OCs Farmers who are either relatives or friends/neighbours in Stardew Valley! I guess that's why I love the interaction of my OC with my mutual ones ☺️ Your story for your OCs is very sweet, dear anon, thanks for sharing it. Enjoy some headcanons! 🫰💕
_________________________________________
All that Farmers managed to do for the residents of Pelican Town and Ridgeside Village, all the good they did for the entire Amethyne family, Maive will never forget. Their kindness and patience, their desire to help everyone and their drive for perfection... All of these attributes that the elderly head of a much respected noble family had already seen long ago in one chaotic, charismatic and kind Grandpa. Even the way he was always running and rushing about, meddling in other people's business and always keeping his overalls dirty from working on the farm. Maive thought it a little strange: the imperfections and smells of the grass, which she usually found irritating, now make her think about her past, when Farmer's Grandpa and Grandma had been there for Maive in joy and sorrow. The few people who were friends with her not because of her status, but because they thought she was a good person. All of this she now sees in the young Farmer as well.
The moment Evelyn saw Farmer on her doorstep, with their overalls stained with grass and soil, a basket of fresh apples and a smile on their face, she almost mouthed the name of her late old friend. In her youth, Grampa had been a frequent visitor, treating Evelyn, her husband and their then living daughter to ripe berries and fruit almost every week. Always smiling, always cheerful and happy, Grampa was a ray of sunshine for all the residents. Even Evelyn's husband, George, stopped grumbling as usual and gave a firm handshake to the kind neighbour who dropped in for a visit. The Farmer who appeared on her doorstep inadvertently made Evelyn go back in time, to those moments, for so much did the Farmer and Grandpa look alike. In appearance as well as in character.
That fire in their eyes... Belinda and Raeriyala have mentioned more than once how much Farmer looks like their grandmother, but after their adventures in Ridge Forest, opening the portal and preparing for the final battle, both spirits have seen Farmer enter the portal into the corrupted magical forest, and how willingly they are to fight to save Ridgeside Village. Just like their long-time friend whose death they will never forgive Gabriella for. Even these words that the Farmer uttered..... "Don't be afraid, it's gonna be okay!" That was the last thing Belinda heard from Grandma before the portal closed behind her. Both the cult leader and the forest spirit for a moment wanted to even rush towards Farmer already, in order to prevent them from entering the portal. Because they felt that they were losing a good friend again..... But the situation with the dark magic was out of control, and they both only have to believe in her grandchild.
Towards evening, Lewis walked to the Farmer's house, as usual intending to collect all their crops and produce for sale from their shipping bin. The Mayor saw the Farmer outside, not far from the Barn, where they were stroking the head of a cow. The Farmer cooed and played with the cow while the animal closed its eyes and enjoyed scratching behind its ear, rattling its bell around its neck. Lewis smiled warmly, remembering how much he had been afraid of cows as a teen and their powerful hoof strike that could knock him out. It was Farmer's Grandpa, Lewis' food friend, who had taught him how to properly approach these massive animals and and not be intimidated by them. The way the Farmer played with the cows made Lewis remember those wonderful days of his youth when his friend still worked here on this very farm. When Farmer turned to the thoughtful Mayor, Lewis almost said Grandfather's name instead of Farmer's. "You know, Farmer, cows were your grandfather's favourite animals."

Me just giving my honest opinions.
Ok so I've been working a story about p03 and the challenger (because good lord most of the fans of inscryption are only there for that smug sassy android asshole!)
Since I'm still working on that story but I feel like contributing at least three more post about this masterpiece of a game I'm just going to give my opinions on the scrybes (be ready for magnificus slander because I'm about to drop a doo- no, no. Not gonna let that out yet.)
Regardless I'll be doing this in order of the scrybes stones (1st grimora, 2nd leshy, 3rd the smug android, 4th the living moss pile)
Grimora. Oh boy, I'll be honest I have.. complicated emotions about this old scrybe. One I love her character and her motivation but for the love of GOD does she also makes me infuriated. This is the card lover in me but like.. I wanna play more. Let me have my final fight with leshy that doesn't involve DELETION! Regardless, I like her character.
Leshy. If it wasn't obvious by nickname I give this grampa of the forest. I enjoy leshy. All this Man is wanting to do is play cards. Yeah he sealed his fellow scrybes into cards but ah it's water under the bridge. 2/3rds of them deserved it anyway. So yeah if I could befriend any scrybe. It be leshy.
P03. I... I have a love/hate relationship with this smug sassy android. I want to punt him into the stratos but also enjoy when hes a smug little shit. I'll either being laughing at his death or laughing at how well he plays the Uberbots. This smug sassy ass android will always have me rolling.
Magnificus. So I've had a positive reaction to almost all of the scrybes. This isnt one of them. Pardon me as I'm about to take a FAT SHIT all over this MF. Those who haven't caught on, I hate this pile of LIVING MOSS! One he's a horrible, HORRIBLE! Teacher. Like yeah he taught his students magic but may I remind you whats happening to them RIGHT NOW. Ones head is impaled on a PIKE! A FUCKING PIKE! The other one is just straight jello at this point Aside from his eyes and brain. Oh yeah and the last one just straight up hates the pile of moss during act 3! I have a deep hatred for magnificus and even deeper hate for his boss fight. I'm sorry I don't care if the games already random MY CARDS EFFECT SHOULDN'T BE!
Ok... I'm done. Sorry I probably subjected you all to brain rot but I just wanted to get this out.
