A short drabble written for the mun over at @theinnerbabysitter. Thank you for always being here for this blog! I really appreciate it!!!

He was…nervous, to say the least, when coming face-to-face with Susan again. She had the stubbornness of her mother, to say the least, and their relationship lately had been a bit strained. Still, she was his granddaughter, and he was loathe to let her go completely unspoiled. Perhaps he was a bit human in that regard.

It had taken him quite a while to think of something she might like, especially now that she had grown up. A ‘My Little Binky’ set might have appeased her when she was younger; now, she would likely not appreciate the gesture much, if at all. (Even if she claimed only to do the duty for the horse, at times.)

Still, he thought about it for quite a while before deciding on a delicate, well-painted statue of a gnome. He didn’t know why that seemed like the right choice; it just called to him. So he bought it, and he wrapped it clumsily in brown paper (really, how was a body supposed to wrap something so lumpy?), and he braced himself to knock on her door. It had been a few months since he’d returned to the Disc, but they did not talk often. He hoped she was home.

SUSAN? He asked, when she opened the door. I HOPE THIS IS NOT TOO BAD OF A TIME. I GOT YOU SOMETHING.

He handed it over quickly, and waited for her reaction. With any luck, he’d chosen as well as he’d hoped.

  Missy attempted to resist the urge to roll her eyes. She failed. “ You’re going to make me do all the work in this relationship, I can just tell.” She stage-whispered.

  “Well, since you insist, I’ll start.” She extended a hand. “I’m Missy. Pleasure to meet you. Now here comes the part where you tell me your name, so be a dear and play along.”

theinnerbabysitter replied to your post: LISTEN. As someone who works with dogs and has...

[I HAVE A PIT BULL (like APBT) AND I AGREE. She was my service dog for 7 years & when she’s out of vest is the sweetest most loving thing - LIKE 99.9% OF EVERY OTHER BULLY I HAVE EVER MET. Big ass think they’re lap dogs w/the most adorable smiles. That’s what they are. And the best damn SDs IMNSHO (my SDiT is also a bully breed, probably - she’s a rescue)]

THIS THOUGH!!!!! Sweetest, most loyal dogs ever. The actual biggest weenies I have ever met who are afraid of their own shadows and just want you to hug them. Smart and capable as fuck. They’re so empathetic, too. More so than any other breeds that I’ve ever met They know exactly what you’re feeling all the time and know exactly what you need. Honestly, I would tell someone looking for a family dog to get a pit over a golden or a lab any day of the week and twice on Sunday. It really just blows me away that people can have these perceptions of them that are so wrong in so many ways, and then they refuse to even interact with one because “It looks like it would hurt me”.  Listen, they won’t, BUT I WILL. Just because you’re an asshole.

✒︎ ✒︎ ✒︎

characterization outtakes.

There is a small circle of men within Helheim who have been there longer than human reckoning. They were the first to come to the realm of the Damned – many have mellowed over the millennia, but even the tamest of them has not lost the edge that drove him to Eljudnir in the first place. They have seen Hel grow from a teary-eyed child to the cool, capable woman she is now. These men will personally fight anyone who has anything to say about their Lady Queen. She is practically their daughter in their eyes, no matter how she might outrank them or what species she might be.

Hel was low-key obsessed with Heimdall as a child. As a bookworm who wanted to learn all she could, he seemed like the most fascinating person in the world for his ability to know all things. I might say she had a tiny crush on him as a girl, but it’s long since forgotten and faded. Marvel verse Heimdall has bonus golden eyes for Hel to…. well, marvel at. Once again, Hel likes a facet of someone’s character, and Loki straight up kills them and sends them down to her.

Often responds to Garmr’s barks and yips as if he were speaking a real language.  No one can tell if having a wolf for a brother has allowed Hel to make sense of canine vocalizations, or if she’s simply been so starved for companionship that she pretends the dog is actually talking. There’s a case to be made for either side of this argument.

theinnerbabysitter liked for a starter

It had been quite some time that Frobisher had been in Ankh-Morpork, or for that matter on Discworld at all. The Doctor had insisted four hours ago that he “had something important to do” and left Frobisher to his own devices in a city with what Frobisher saw as an appealing amount of sleaze. 

He didn’t appear to be in the right area for that at the moment, there were a large number of children about and only two of them had made the unpleasant discovery that Frobisher didn’t actually have pockets to pick despite looking like a pale man in a dark suit.

Frobisher was reconsidering that form, he missed being a penguin and it probably wouldn’t get that much attention. There was a variety of species here, mostly humanoids of varying sizes, but he’d passed what looked for all the world like a pile of rocks stacked into a humanoid form arguing with someone less than a foot tall, and he was pretty sure he’d just seen something in the primate family being kicked out of a tavern.

This culture apparently hadn’t invented phonebooths yet, so Frobisher ducked behind a stall that wasn’t getting much attention and changed back into his preferred form. He thought no one had seen him shift. He was wrong.

How fortuitous...three of the people I’d spam the hell out of with memes if it weren’t for my brain telling me no.  xD

Also, omfg, Burrow & Zen, you two are inspirations!
