A repost of last year's St. Patrick's Day fic now with a cute little header I just made! Fandom: 911 Lone Star Characters: Carlos Reyes, T.K. Strand Rating: K Summary: St. Patrick's Day with a Kindergartener means only one thing: Leprechaun traps. And Carlos isn't thrilled with the results.

Carlos stares at the monstrosity on his kitchen table. It’s an eyesore and it hurts him even to be in the same room with it. Maybe if he just…

He stands and walks closer, eyeing the offending object with his hands on his hips. He’s reaching out to try and adjust a couple things when he hears T.K. coming down the hall, causing him to whip around, hands held innocently behind his back.

“Okay, it took three books and the goodnight song, plus an extra monster check and a drink of water, but he’s down,” T.K. says as he rounds the corner. He spots Carlos and his eyes narrow. “What are you doing?”

“Nothing,” Carlos says. “Nothing. I was just looking. Three books? It’s supposed to be one.”

“Well I had to bargain him down from six. He’s definitely your kid,” T.K. says with a smile as he starts making hot water for tea.

That their kid loves reading as much as Carlos does makes Carlos’ heart soft with happiness on a regular basis. It’s amazing to see pieces of yourself in the tiny human you’re raising.

Unfortunately Carlos does not see a single piece of himself in the abomination that takes up a third of their table.

for those of you oldies who don't have young niblings/siblings/cousins, they've turned st Patrick's day into a magic gift holiday, like Christmas and Easter. All my niblings made "leprechaun traps" at school - and they brought them home this weekend to leave out. The idea is, you lure in a leprechaun with fake gold, etc, and once they get trapped, they leave you a present for your ingenuity before magicking themselves away. And they usually also play a little prank on the kids, too - like dyeing something green like their milk or even the toilet water.

I don't mind a bit of fun, honestly, but it feels like elf on the shelf all over again. Very pinterest mom-coded.

sts! What’s your favorite non plot related fact about the world of runaways?

Thanks for the ask!

I think my favorite thing is the fact that the girl's home has a house brownie that cleans their rooms for them named Hazel. She never appears in the plot of the story but that's a reference I threw in for my little brother. He got some pretty bad burns when he was 6 and had to stay in a hospital for several weeks while we had to go home and keep doing school, so in between visits, I would write and send him short stories to keep him entertained during his treatments - and these were called "The Brownie and the Ghost". They were about these two kids, Dan and Nan, who meet their house brownie and help her catch a ghost that keeps eating her cookies, and in that story, the brownie's name was Hazel.

Jump ahead 4 years. Before I ever decided to write Runaways as a book, I just had a bunch of characters in a notes app on my phone. I persuaded my little brother and sister to help me pull weeds in the garden in exchange for a story if they would help, and I started making up the plot of Runaways on the spot as we were working through the tomatoes. I could tell they were getting bored so, so I through Hazel into the new story as a reference to the old one they loved, and they got all excited about the worlds being tied together. Hazel's made it through every draft since as a throwaway line, specifically for my siblings.

#my brother is ok now for the record #the burns were bad but he had really good medical care and our community really helped us out with the hospital bills #so he's a totally normal kid now and you can barely tell he has scars unless you look closely #he's not even afraid of campfires I'm so proud of him #he is more careful around them though lol #every time I catch them stealing biscotti from the cookie tin I yell DON'T MAKE ME GET OUT THE GHOST TRAPS it's such a fun inside joke #etta rambles #runaways #sts #I do plan to go back and clean up those stories one day and make the vocabulary childhood appropriate #they were a lot of fun I had like 8 or 10 of them by the end #there was a halloween special where ghost and a bunch of other friends like the spooky cat and mothman teamed up to prank hazel #there was a christmas special where hazel's extended relatives turned out to be santa's elves and nan and dan had to help save christmas #there was a st. patricks day special where hazel's 2nd cousin came to visit and he was a leprechaun #it was a vibe #hazel my long suffering sweetheart <3

thinking about like, normal situations with kids where they believe in the supernatural and how that translates to a world like trollhunters like

wally: there's a zombie in my closet! D:

strickler: don't be silly, there can't be an zombie in your closet

wally: 'cause zombies aren't real?

strickler: oh no, they're very real!

barbara about to kill him as wally starts crying again:

strickler: I-IT'S JUST THAT THEY'VE TAKEN UP RESIDENCE IN CLEVELAND WHICH IS QUITE FAR FROM US ACTUALLY AND

#trollhunters tag #idk just like.#i was thinking abt my little sibs and how they soooooo earnestly believe that if they #make a leprechaun trap that the golden coin left behind was from it working #or how i leave them notes from the ~fairies and gnomes~ that live in the vents #or how i have invisible monster friends that keep them safe from the Bad Monsters #and obvs i know that's all .... me and our mom #but for a world like trollhunters that's a real thing to have to navigate and i think it's fun to play #with the imagination of kids already being so over the top when the world they live in actually turns out to match it #anyway. an update on today's leprechaun trap #me: idk i have to ask the fairies and gnomes if he'll be in the area today #7yo: maybe he's in florida!#trollhunters world: he actually is in florida

Today on the Mikey Is Not Abused news

Research shows that 78% of the “Poor Mikey” fanclub claims that Mikey is incapable of standing up for himself, whether that be because he fears further abuse, fears his brothers in general, suffers from intense depression, an abuse sort of conditioning, or *insert other incredulous views here* (Statistics may not be entirely accurate and should be used with caution).

Unfortunately for them, Mikey does knows how to stand up for himself and it has been shown that he can speak his mind to even the main abuser, Raphael, and walk away unscathed.

Astonishing claim, I know, but the facts prove themselves.

Mikey has brought up beliefs on several occasions, but his lack of awareness outside his own mind often disproves his own claims.

Years of leprechauns, cream cheese demons, and certainty in cupcake uprisings have worn down his brothers’ trust in his word on many different subjects. This is not his brothers ignoring him out of spite. This is merely because he has proven himself to be an unreliable source when it comes to reality.

His lack of interest in taking most battles and training sessions seriously grate on his brothers’ nerves and often lead them to doubt his prowess and abilities on the field. Mikey being the youngest and earning all of their must protect with life instincts doesn’t exactly help his case. He knowingly brings much of their wrath upon himself- with tauntings, and purposefully infuriating acts, and the constant reappearance of Dr. Prankenstein.

When Mikey doesn’t go gun-hoe or call Raph out for a whack on the head, it’s probably because he’s conscious enough to know he likely said/did something stupid, or because he purposefully did something annoying.

However, if he sees an injustice affect another by his brothers’ hand, he will be the first one to stand up and correct it.

Mikey is proven to be more likely to speak his mind when it comes to others around him getting retribution that he deems underserved.

IN FACT, a few of the only times fans actually see an aggressive argument/challenge poised to a brother is to Raphael, often in regards to his crass judgement.

Take Fourfold Trap as an example:

“I got the answer for you! Karai’s a lost cause!”

“Don’t say that, dude!”

Mikey shoves at Raph’s shoulder to make him face him and they both begin yelling/bickering/roughly gesturing. Mikey is in no way scared of how Raph will react to this and is immediate in getting physically aggressive and speaking his mind.

Not normally how someone who’s been abused all their life would act towards the main abuser, I think. Not convincing enough?

Well, The Curse of Savanti Romero is another:

In it, Renet is seen admitting to her mistake of letting Romero loose. Raph responds by immediately coming down on her for it, even though she understands and regrets her mistake.

Mikey has zero hesitations about jumping into the picture.

“You really are the worst time traveler ever! The worst!”

“Back off, bro! She needs our help!”

Psychology of most abusers would not point to this kind of situation going well. If this were the case- in no universe would Raphael have relented under his brother’s glare and stepped away, especially not after being shoved and yelled at in front of someone outside the family. That would be seen as a calling for punishment.

Moving away would be letting the abused assert dominance and think that they’ve gotten away with a win.

If this were really an abusive relationship, then Raphael would have had a far more violent reaction to his youngest brother butting in.

Instead, he growled, glared, and then relented. He could tell this was not an issue that could be further challenged. Mikey was standing his ground, intensely meeting his glare, and so Raph stepped away.

Now, have there been times where Mikey felt like he was left out or being ignored and that made him feel insecure?

Yes. Absolutely. Mikey Gets Shellacne is a prime example.

But, have the abusers, his older brothers, been made to share similar feelings of being unable to rely on their brothers at one time or another? Perhaps due to his direct or indirect actions? Why, yes.

Because, as hard as it is to believe, every person in that family has made mistakes when dealing with another family member. Relationships are hard. Not one person, or mutant, is perfect, and facing or accepting insecurities is always a fact of growing up.

Is this to say Mikey never stands up for himself?

No. Not even close.

Is it ever portrayed as something big and dramatic as a focal point of an episode? No. Because it doesn’t need to be.

If Mikey holding onto resentment and depression from how his brother abuse him was meant to be part of his character, it would have been a plot point in the episode where they’re literally in his brain. There would have been the slightest hint of something going on somewhere in that chaotic realm.

Instead, Mikey’s brain welcomed all of his brother with open arms.

And the true, inner Mikey runs ecstatically toward his brothers and into Leo’s open arms for snuggles, no more scared of his brothers inside his mind than outside of it.

The only time that he has thoughts of “my brothers are so mean to me I should run away” is the episode The Croaking, where he takes accountability and has the realization that his brothers aren’t the jerks that he thought they were when he ran off…

“Dude. Your brothers sound awesome.”

“Yeah. They are… Even after I trashed the house.”

Mikey doesn’t often react violently to his brother’s teasing because there’s not a reason too. He understands that his brother’s pick on him, but in reality, he picks on them too. It’s not a big enough deal to point out unless an evil planet is letting Angry Mikey consume all of his thoughts and then everything is terrible.

Mikey can stand up for himself. Mikey will always stand up for others.

And that brings this article to an end. Subscribe for more!

Next time, we’ll discuss why Parasitica May or May Not have a worse reputation than it truly deserves. Cowbunga!

So I sent @the-gnomish-bastard to the soap dimension after trapping him in a series of bubbles, and when he returned and I decided to put him in another bubble, he claimed that I really just picked up a leprechaun and placed them in a hamster ball. I think he may still be experiencing side effects from the bubble lands, namely hallucinations

Uh- Gnomish? You feeling okay?

SILENT AND SO LETHAL.

In the mighty state of Texas,

Lives a Sasquatch broad and tall,

And he claims to be the champion,

And best farter of them all.

He lives on rancid meat,

And on humans ( quite a few ),

And he boils up all their bones,

To make a stinking pot of stew.

In the frozen Himalayas,

You'll find a Yeti with thick hair,

And before you even see him,

His smell will foul the air.

He lives on birds and vermin,

And other creatures he can trap,

But even humans breath their last,

If too near them he does crap.

Back over to the States,

Where Bigfoot does reside,

And when he lets a fart,

Trees tremble near and wide.

It sounds like roaring thunder,

Like a rocket screaming by,

And squirrels fall from the trees,

And birds drop from the sky.

But none of these are champions,

They're put firmly in their place,

By the Little Irish Leprechaun,

Who leaves them in disgrace.

He is silent and he's deadly,

When he lets a squeaky fart,

With a stench that is so lethal,

It will surely stop your heart.

So he carries the flag for Ireland;

The Champion Farter of the World,

And if you think he can be beaten,

You are truly being absurd.

He's the wearer of the Shamrock,

He's a stinker through and through,

And he laughs when he starts farting,

And he'll stand right next to you.
