idk my view of bruce's parenting (of dick especially) is informed by the fact that i will always see him as a teen dad. at least with dick. i feel like canon and readers generally agree that bruce would have been a young teenager when dick was born and like... yeah obviously bruce's approach to parenting is going to change. at a certain point he's going to stop being a stupid guy in his early 20s and realise "i can't actually be besties with this child i'm raising and responsible for, and also maybe i should put more supervision into the equation instead of just fully letting him run wild when beating up evildoers at night." and dick would understandably get pissed about it, because at that point he's coincidentally at the age where you want your parents to give you Less supervision and rules! and of course bruce seems like a different, maybe even better parent with the next kids, because 1) that's how it works when you gain parenting experience and 2) bruce was not parenting dick as well as he ought to have been those first few years because he was like 23 and should have been at the club
to add to this the fact that neil most likely had the lingering knowledge that he wouldn't make it to twenty like even if he never met the foxes or Andrew, also to add onto the andrew thing he and aaron never would have started to fix their relationship, jean wouldn't have ever left the nest and would have most likely committed (don't quote men on this next part I haven't read tsc) because he promised Kevin he wouldn't try but Kevin's dead so.
also just think about how wymack would never find out that Kevin was his son, he would never know the son he should have raised
Do you ever think about the fact, that if Riko had actually killed Kevin instead of just breaking his hand that Neil would never have met Andrew. and that Neil would fade from the world without a soul to remember him, and Andrew would forever be a monster to everyone who knew him. Or are you normal??
like it's also really fun as well cuz I could just make the cats the cats in canon or I can make one of the cats a cat and have the other be my own oc who's Neil's kid so like wooo more elio content yay, (I gotta figure out how to draw princess dresses now god dammit the hyperfixtion is real) thinking about favourite media and making it aftg au is just life at this point like what if princess charm school was an aftg au like what if
also when I do make it a wip (if I do, I got a whole ass fic to title and start writing) I will a 100% tag you for it.
guys guys so like silly thought but au idea so we all know barbie as the princess and the pauper right so there's two ways this au can go
obviously we have the most common that everyone thinks this au could go with Erika being Andrew and Anneliese being Aaron, which would most likely have Julian bing Katelyn and then Dominick being Neil and obviously Anneliese's mother being Nicky instead of tilda and madame carp being idk someone (idk if cass would make sense for that) don't ask me about the cats the cats could very much just be the cats in the movie just changed for the au obviously Bertie would obviously be Renee, nick and nack could be uhh raven players ig, now preminger who to have him be idk riko but that wouldn't make any sense so
the second way this au could go is Erika being Neil and Anneliese being Katelyn yes playing into the massive headcanon that she and he look alike, and I was thinking what if I was to elio be in this au and then it hit me Wolfie could be elio like instead of him being a cat he could be elio (still Neil's kid cuz oh well fuck the movie canon) Dominick would obviously be Andrew and Julian would be Aaron, the Queen would be Katlyns mother, I'm gonna have Bertie be Allison or heck maybe even seth
do you guys see where I'm going with this, like idk if this like all the other royal au things but like it'd be fun as hell to write
like did yall even read the books
The mischaracterization of people from PJO is so funny, but ESPECIALLY from HOO onward like.
“Hazel’s such an innocent little angel. She’s always nice and kind and confused.”
Hazel, who’s always ready to fight in the same way Percy is? Hazel, who made it explicitly clear she probably would’ve rocked Octavian’s shit had he not been blackmailing her? Who gets so angry on behalf of the people she loves, to the point where she doesn’t forgive those who have wronged them? Who Percy described as cursing up a storm in one of their first interactions? Who’s been shown time and time again to be FAST to anger? That Hazel?
Or Nico, who’s “a misunderstood emo. A small bean. Cute like a wet cat and innocent like a bunny.”
Nico, who’s cannonically described by most characters as “scary and unnerving?” Nico, who, for a long time, is one of the angriest characters in the series? Who’s only sassy and sarcastic because it took him FOUR YEARS to mellow out? Who’s described as being one of the most powerful demigods, who a lot of people still consider the scariest? Who’s come into his own as a character from TTC to TSATS? That Nico?
Or Annabeth who’s, “cold and calculating. Doesn’t show emotion or express herself”
Annabeth, who’s the most expressive person in the series? Who cries in EVERY book in the OG series? Whether it be for Luke, or Thalia, or Percy, or Chiron, or a literal DOG? Who expresses passion like no other when it comes to architecture and her other interests? Who’s expressed compassion for people she didn’t know? People who at times posed a threat to her? Who isn’t afraid to be angry, or happy, or snide, or rude, or excited, or scared, or ecstatic? Who’s been unapologetically herself since the moment the series started? That’s who doesn’t show emotion? That’s Annabeth?
that's an amazing prompt, like the switcheroo, now I really wanna know about your au of it like who are the other characters gonna be.
I'd pay so much to read this
Barbie as The Princess and the Pauper AU but make it Twinyards
alright guys some options for the unnamed aftg fic starring my sweet baby boy elio josten
yes I did Google some stuff so baby racoons are called kits and yes baby foxes can be called kits to they are more often referred as cubs so keep that in mind
also very funfact about elio is that because he was born and raised on the run he doesn't have a concept of gender (yes is this also a funfact because onke of the drawings/ sketches I have planned is him in a dress yes it it cuz fuck gender norms)
reblog w the song lyrics in your head NOW. either stuck in yr head or what yr listening to
why do people need to know my sexuality or how many people I've kissed that's very personal questions, it's so nice to now that I'd run from danger based on the fact I don't wanna die
I made my first character quiz! Take it and give me your thoughts!
mw with aftg characters and hotd characters including my own ocs like they all get put through so much shit that just makes me wanna hug them and care for them and make them all chocolate cake
Hey you ever think about The Characters so much to the point where
stab everyone, stab the whole cast at this point, I feel like they should all experience getting a puncture wound at some point in time
ok don't think about it just vote
keeping it appropriately vague to not spoil anything, it is aftg related, so just roll with it :]
honestly tho if you'r heart didn't get torn during these books (I haven't read tsc yet cuz I've yet to finish chapter 3 of tfc) don't talk to me (I'm joking any of you can talk to me)
I was seven; I didn't ask; switch between Neil and Nathaniel; it's fine Nora it's not like I NEED MY HEART TO FUNCTION IN ORDER TO LIVE OR ANYTHING 😭it's just for decor+
hi uhhh I'm aroace ghost rat ting here, 19 years I use any pronouns as icba to care what you use should clarify that I'm a massive bitch
