okay so GENUINELY I was just supposed to make this mini taob comic for @hella1975 but my brain was like "no that's not enough. It's not even shaded. provide more" soo uh yeah there are a lot more doodles added to this than I intended lmao
My favorite platonic ship
her drawings of king and eda 😭
Jet graduates from food theft to swiping angsty tea servers
favorite atla fics are the ones where the gaang finds out roku is zukos great grandfather and aang’s immediate reaction is to start hollering “GREAT GRANDSON!!!” at zuko like. aang’s 12 but is canonically the embodiment of embarrassing grandpa it’s perfect
chena going from ‘i’ll break his legs’ to ‘you should have dragged him if it meant bringing him back to us’ is making me emotional and idk why
TFW when u and ur bf have the same bad taste 💕 [inspo]
Everyone makes headcanons about joel and ellie, so I'm gona give my hcs about tommy and ellie this time around...
I think joel and ellie's relationship is canonically clear. I mean, they're one of the most iconic duos out there, but you look at them and you know who's the adult and the child, who's in charge. And unilke that, I think ellie would be tommy's sidekick. One and half spies. He would call her his little partner in crime, and their bond would be so chaotic it would take a second for new people to realize thy're uncle and niece, because sometimes they give off big brother and little sister energy.
Another headcanon I have for them is tommy quietly firguring ellie's sexuality before joel. I mean, joel is not a bigot, but he's also just a clueless man when it comes to romance and that is such a funny detail lol but tommy? It's already a headcanon for everyone that tommy was a party monster in his teens and always has been this social puppy, so I believe that he has so many experiences with different people and friends that he can spot some social clues better than joel. So yeah, I can totally imagine that tommy would always quietly notice that ellie blushes a bit to hard around some girl in jackson, but keep quiet because is none of his business. Joel would tell something about thinking that ellie likes jesse, and tommy would just chuckle and think 'yeah maybe if jesse grow a pair of boobs'.
I feel like tommy is also tue type of person that messes with ellie a lot but doesn't really like when other people do it to the point of making her unconfortable. I mean, just because tommy is a golden retriever it doesn't mean he is a people pleaser: not when it comes to his family. So yeah, sometimes he will do something repeatedly around ellie to the point she will be whinning like "joooel make him stop or I will kick his fucking balls!!", but if someone who's not on their inner circle feels entitled enough to do that, he will politely tell then to stop bothering his niece.
I also feel like joel's love for ellie can sometimes blind him a bit, and that's when tommy's uncle behaviour comes to balance. I mean, ellie and her friends would be solded by jackson's adults for smoking weed inside jackson's curch, and when ellie tells joel that she's sorry and she will never do it again, geez - Joel would accept it and move on. Tommy on the other hand will wait for joel to leave and be like "now, your old man might think you're a little angel but I'm no fool, where did'ya hide the rest of it?".
OH, MY FUCKING GOD. I am so in love with these!
a zooks doodle for my Spirit Blessed (Derogatory) fic where he gets bending swapped with waterbending 8^)
Monoma: What trouble have you gotten into today?
Midoryia: None, surprisingly, why? Someone call you an ass and you need to compare it to a villain attack?
Monoma, flailing his arms around dramatically: Oh Izuku it was horrible! This girl tried to get in front of me for lunch but I pushed her back into her spot and-
Midoryia: Amour, I was joking.
Family breakfasts with Tommy have become somewhat of a routine.
He comes over on the days Maria leaves for her work early (which is more often than not), eats her granola and drinks Joel's coffee, and they talk about whatever they feel like, though Ellie loves asking him about his recent patrols. She kicks her feet up into Joel's lap and draws it out as long as she can before sprinting all the way to school, but it's worth it if it means just one more story.
Today, though, she's late. Really fucking late. It's not her fault she got a bit distracted by the new book Tommy had brought her last afternoon (it's about SPACE Joel, that trumps school and sleep by a mile), but now she had about five minutes to get out of the house and into the classroom. Ellie barrels down the stairs, bag slung over her shoulder, and has to catch herself on the banister to not slip on the floor once she jumps over the last few steps
"Careful, baby," Joel calls over, worriedly watching her put on her shoes while standing on one leg, jumping to keep her balance. Tommy, on the other hand, looks majorly amused, and she can hear him chuckle.
"Yeah, yeah, old man, I can keep my balance just fine."
She ties her laces so she doesn't trip once she starts running and is about to leave when Joel whistles to call her back.
"Breakfast, Ellie."
Fucking Joel and his stupid rules, but Ellie spins on the spot and uses the kitchen door frame to propel herself toward the counter and pick up two apples for later, stuffing them into her bag with a happy? thrown over her shoulder.
"Mh, have a nice day at school, kiddo," he tries to sound all parental, but she can hear the softness bleeding through and just knows he's holding back a grin. Ellie crosses the distance between them with two big steps and slings her arms around his neck, allowing herself the luxury of melting against him for a few precious seconds when he gently rubs his thumbs over her wrists and lifts her clasped hands to press a kiss to her knuckles.
With a heavy sigh and a silent fuck you to whoever invented math, she pulls back, but not without pressing a kiss to Joel's cheek, basking in the smile he gives her; it's so easy to make him happy, and she does it as much as she can.
Ellie can feel Tommy's eyes on them, he always watches them with a gleeful mixture of amusement and affection, and over the last year, he has settled into the warm parts of her heart, too. He is right between her and the door, sipping on his coffee, so, really, it's not even a conscious choice, more of a reflex.
Her hand comes down on the table when she steps toward the front door and away from Joel, balancing herself so she can lean around the back of his chair and press a quick kiss to his cheek, too. Ellie bites back the small laugh bubbling up when she sees the expression on his face, mouth slightly open, eyes seeking help from Joel, who simply shrugs and picks up his cup again.
Another minute ticks by on the kitchen clock, and she is finally on her way out, the goodbye she yells at them cut off when the front door slams close behind her.
-
("What the hell was that?"
"She is laying her claim on you."
"Whatever that means, Joel, she's your kid, not mine."
"Better get ready to give up your personal space and half your closet."
"My clothes, really?"
"You never know what she might do next, prepare for the worst."
"Are you sure she's not yours? 'Cause this sounds oddly familiar."
"Oh, she is, she just found me all on her own."
"Glad she did, haven't seen you smile like that in twenty years."
"Give it a week and I'll tell you the same thing.")
