Thinking. And. there’s A Very Specific Kind Of Bond You Get With. Friends Raising Friends, You Know?

More of old work, it'll take a while before I get to my most recent comics andna

They are just silly

Part 1

Don't think about

don't think about Alador not knowing where any of his kids are

don't think about Edric and Emira gripping onto each other as their world falls apart around them with no idea where the rest of their family is, if they're even safe

don't think about the fact they might not even be together

don't think about Darius feeling the pain of the draining spell but all he can think about is the sixteen-year-old kid he cares about despite himself feeling the same pain

don't think about all the other children with coven sigils, in so so much pain as the man everyone trusts betrays them

don't think of Gus' dad learning no one knows where his twelve-year-old son is

don't think of people running for cover as their world falls apart and rebuilds around them

don't think about the ones who couldn't get away in time

don't think of King, so young and so scared, alone with the collector

don't think about Willow's dads patiently waiting for their daughter to come home and their bone-deep grief when she doesn't

don't think about the twins screaming and wailing when Alador tells them he doesn't know where Amity is and the last time he saw her, she was going to fight Belos, the most dangerous man on the Isle

don't think about Eda realizing that despite her best efforts in the end she couldn't protect either of her kids

don't think about Eda reuniting with Lilith and both of their faces falling realizing the other doesn't have the kids

don't think about Camila opening the doors and being so relieved to see her daughter but so worried when she sees how tired and sad all the kids huddled together at her front door are

don't think about the kids quietly but surely patching each other up, older and much more exhausted than they should be

don't think about the fact none of them are going to be to get a good night's sleep for a while

don't think about the kids huddled together mourning people that may be alive because they just don't know

Young Justice be like “you wanna see some DEEPLY traumatized teenagers?”

I’m starving for some good sea three fanfics (specifically on ao3 but tumblr works fine as well) does anyone have any recommendations

One of my favorite works is The Worst is Now The Victor (which has a new chapter you should totally check out!!!) if that helps any.

does this mean anything

"You were acting out of self-preservation, but you didn't have enough determination!"

I had the idea in my head to draw the Rise turtles be swept in the violence, in B.E.A.S.T. I think it turned out well ^^

When the short becomes the tall

I was lowk guessing w the height so mb💀

Some days I think about Aaron minyard and about the fact that the aftg fandom gives him so much shit about going back on his deal with Andrew, or being a drug addict in the past and making that his only personality trait in fanfics, or going on and on about the fact that he doesn’t understand Andrew and maybe he doesn’t but

aaron understands Andrew when Andrew gets that flash of panic in his eye followed by a not quite there look before it goes his face goes blank because Aaron definitely has at least a little bit of ptsd bc who and I kidding the kid was beat, brainwashed/groomed his whole life, and had his mom get him addicted to drugs so he definitely has some ptsd like even as he’s older seeing a little blond kid all bruised up after the little dude fell out of a tree at the hospital to check out his broken arm definitely triggers him because all he can see is himself or Andrew all alone in the kids hazel eyes

but what really gets him is closing the bathroom door to the Colombia house (i can’t remember if it’s tilda’s house or the Colombia house they detox him in) and he always has to have it propped open to were he can tell he’s able to get out or he has to have something between the door and the frame to keep it from closing all the way if someone tries to slam it, him and Andrew are exact opposites when it comes to this

I know the bathroom door thing will bother him from personal experience because I had to sit outside my best friends room when she closes it to change or whatever because she was locked in her room once while going through withdrawals from Xanax cut with fentanyl and she can’t have her door closed or if it is closed you have to promise to let her out/promise you won’t lock it which takes me to my next point aaron makes Andrew sit outside the bathroom door when he needs it closed because in his words ‘you fucked this up for me so you have to deal with it’ and Andrew is just like ‘Yes I will keep my brother safe even if it’s from his head’ bc even tho Andrew is a little fucking shit he’s still a good brother and I live by that

but also the monsters are basically all teen boys so they aren’t going to be painting bathroom doors just bc of some scratches on it so aaron has to look at where he scratched off the paint of the door trying to get out of the bathroom while he was going through his withdrawals and it makes him like physically ill to look at the door and it’s never repainted until Neil is like ‘yo aaron hates the bathroom door. Why?’ And one day Aaron catches Andrew with a quart of paint spot covering the door in the twins 2nd year one night they’re at the Colombia house

This is like all over the place but yea the cold turkey detox thing sucks, ik from personal experience and that was just from nicotine and prescriptions I didn’t have a weening plan for, Aaron was on opioids/whatever his mom had around the house which means whatever he was on was definitely cut with other drugs like fentanyl or meth or whatever the dealer could mix with the pills and repress them to maximize profit and since aaron/his mom were buying off the streets poor dude was definitely coming off of multiple drugs at once and his body must have been fighting so hard

And like I wasn’t even locked up imagine being locked in a cold ass bathroom while you’re having the worst however many days it takes to flush the drugs out of it system through just throwing up and sweating it out yk

So I think Aaron has rights to be resentful towards Andrew for his rehab methods :/ bc it would leave a damaging physiological impact on anyone but esp a previously abused druggie teen.

I have lots of opinions on Aaron and I hate how he gets 0 redemption ark at all. Neil ‘hates’ him which is why we don’t see the good side of him but like we know neils a unreliable narrator like jeez I’m so tired of Aaron just being the butt of the joke in every situation just because the unreliable narrator with an attitude problem told y’all that Aaron sucks ://

Don't Think About It (3)

Don’t think of Odalia being willing to abandon her children to save her own skin

Don’t think of the kids running out of food and giving the last bits to the younger kids

Don’t think of these kids, abandoned in a world-changing without them, trying to raise other kids

Don’t think of the kids comforting the younger kids, so sad and scared, unable to understand why their parents have left them

Don’t think about Edric’s body never being quite right after all that’s happened

Don’t think about his wrists clicking or locking or how he limps when it rains

Don’t think of Emira painstakingly bandaging him, her hands shaking horribly, thinking of if her baby sister was hurt just as bad or worse

Don’t think of Boscha, watching her loved ones be possessed, and suddenly being in charge of everyone else

Don’t think of how lonely and abandoned she felt

Don’t think of how the kids have the weight of the world on their shoulders

Don’t think of how out of control Hunter and Willow felt

Don’t think of how tired Luz is

Don’t think of how worried Amity has been

Don’t think of how the weight of all the secrets he keeps was slowly crushing Gus

Don’t think of Camila realizing for the first time how out of their element her kids were in her home

Don’t think of how betrayed the Collector felt

i think their locker elevators are funny
