Challenge #230 - Family

itsanonyx: ({stargate} vala - savvy?)
[personal profile] itsanonyx
[community profile] your_favourites




Okay, I actually wanted to post a Challenge about father+son but then I thought that this may not be for everybody. So I decided to make this Challenge a bit bigger: Family.

How you define Family is up to you. This may not only go with the traditional definition of Family such as brother and sister or parent and child. You may also focus on everybody who are considered Families in any other forms.

Let's have Sonic the Hedgehog (Media Franchise) as example again: Metal Sonic was created by Ivo Robotnik (or it is rumoured to be Agent Stone for Sonic the Hedgehog 4) - which makes them related. Sonic the Hedgehog was (sort of) adopted by Tom and Maddie Wachowski - which makes them related too. Tom and Maddie Wachowski have a dog called Ozzy - which is also part of this family. <3

As to source material, anything goes: real people, fictional people, movies, theatre, comics, tv, whatever you can think of.



Sam & Dean Winchester (brothers) by [personal profile] restless | Lorelai & Rory Gilmore (mother+daughter) by [personal profile] violateraindrop | Maddie & Tom Wachowski (wife+husband) by [personal profile] itsanonyx | Wanda & Pietro Maximoff (twins) by [livejournal.com profile] gettingdrastic


* You may icon 2 different Families in this challenge (in case you cannot decide which one is your absolute favorite).
* You may enter up to 4 icons (ICON+URL).
* Please submit your icons as new posts to this community. Every member has posting access.
* Please no animations or x-rated icons. Everything else is allowed.
* Icons must fit DW standards (< 60kb, 100x100 px).
* Tag your entries with challenge number and your username, or I can do it for you.
* * Please put a description in your entry which Family you picked.
* Please ask questions if you have any.

* DEADLINE: Sunday, January 25th 2026 (04pm Central European Time). [countdown]

Having some Lapsang Souchong. The ice cream was great. I don't know why they don't publicize this more but they do this thing called a flight where you can have little scoops of six different flavors. I had chocolate, maple, banana, black walnut, butter pecan and mocha almond fudge. (I would have had eggnog but they ran out. Frankly if they sold eggnog in June I would buy it.)
Tonight I'm going to LoCoco to get Italian food and a glass of wine for dinner.

Gonna try to make a tradition of re-promoting myself yearly in January~

Name(s): Azure or Bede. I answer to both, so use whichever floats your boat!
Age: 20-something
Hobbies: Writing (fanfic, essays and fan analysis), drawing, editing (videos, images and gifs), coding, researching (almost exclusively things that don't matter), and gaming!
Fandoms: I mainly participate in video game fandoms! Right now, I'm really into Pokémon (my one true fandom), Cookie Run, Great God Grove, In Stars and Time, Kingdom Hearts, Vocaloid, and Splatoon. I'm at least passively interested in most Nintendo games, though. I'm also a furry (rabbit fursona)!

I mostly post about... My fandoms, non-fannish interests (including disability, queerness, the indie web, writing, art and alterhumanity), and some personal stuff!
I'm looking to meet people who... Have similar interests (whether that be fandom or non-fandom), or who just pass the vibe check and have interesting things to say.
My posting schedule tends to be... A little bit sporadic! I go through small periods of inactivity. When I come back, I always cross-post everything I've posted onto other platforms with the back-dating feature, though! I love commenting on other people's posts, and try to do it as often as possible.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are... Bigots, right-wingers, and AI "artists". Christians who try converting others, or who don't CW for religious discussion. (No offense to the latter, it's a personal thing.) Regarding fandom, I'm squicked out by Harry Potter (I'm trans; I hope you can understand!) and Hazbin Hotel, and have pedophilia/incest/rape as triggers.
Before you add me, you should know... I'm autistic and otherwise mentally disabled, so please be patient with me! I'm from the South of the USA, so I use petnames very casually ("honey, darling, dear," etc). You can also (or alternatively) add my account for my fanfic and fandom meta exclusively, [personal profile] fairyfic.

Kaijuu No. 8 fic update: Warm as life (Kafka/Reno/Narumi, Reno/Iharu, Kafka/Hoshina) 7/7

vriddy: Hawks looking back cheekily holding a feather (cheeky hawks)
And it is done! New fandom always a bit fraught to write in, but as stories apparently beget stories, I've already started a (MUCH SHORTER) one XD


Warm as life | Kaijuu No. 8 | Kafka/Reno/Narumi, Reno/Iharu, Kafka/Hoshina | 13k words | rated M

Summary: The new threat posed by No. 9 weighs heavily on everyone. Under these circumstances, emotions run high and what starts as a way of relieving stress can easily bloom into unexpected feelings. Some people find that easier to admit than others.

Read it on Dreamwidth or AO3.

Yuletide 2025

raven: [hello my name is] and a silhouette image of a raven (Default)
Here's a bit of admin I didn't manage to do while I was away. For yuletide this year, I got the following story from [profile] ryfkah:

More A Comment Than A Question (2285 words) by ryfkah
Fandom: The Day Before the Revolution - Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed - Ursula K. Le Guin
Characters: Laia Asieo Odo, Sadik (The Dispossessed)

Odo!

“I’m Laia.” If the voice wanted her father, she thought, crossly, it could go and get him; why was it bothering her?

Oh. The voice sounded startled. You’re too small. I got it wrong. Then, hopefully: Do you have any thoughts yet about anarchism and the necessity of constant revolution?



I was caught right in the maelstrom of the day 1 de-anonning - as in, had opened the tab with the author's name on it and then went back to the laptop every few minutes for an hour to look at the recipe in the next tab - and learned later that I had been an unwitting part of a greater scheme of deception! But honestly I was thrilled at the news Becca was writing me regardless, she is the best and this story is wonderful: does such a good job at catching on to the themes of the original, and does this via a funny little time travel scenario that fits brilliantly into the original. I highly recommend it.

I wrote the following stories:

Flowering (4850 words) by raven
Fandom: The Chronicles of Chrestomanci - Diana Wynne Jones
Relationships: Cat Chant & Christopher Chant
Characters: Cat Chant, Christopher Chant, Millie Chant
Additional Tags: Coming of Age, Queer Themes
Summary:

“Keep the home fires burning, Cat, will you,” Chrestomanci says lazily, and Millie blows Cat a kiss before the portal shuts.


My assigned story, and a couple of people can attest how much I hated it, hated writing it, and how much I wanted to burn it to the ground. I'm in a phase right now where writing fiction is just beyond my ken. It's too hard and it makes my soul ache. But I had been on a podcast, Eight Days of Diana Wynne Jones, on an episode about The Lives of Christopher Chant, so I thought I was feeling Chrestomanci sufficiently much to write it. I was not and I could not. But then I missed the deadline for no-fault default, and felt masochistic enough to continue somehow. I eventually resolved to orphan the story once yuletide was over - I have not done this. Quite a lot of people liked it and I'm grateful to them for saying so! But I learned my lesson here about giving up when I'm ahead.

promises made to be broken, made to last (1988 words) by raven
Fandom: Shetland (TV)
Relationships: Ruth Calder/Alison McIntosh
Characters: Ruth Calder, Alison McIntosh
Additional Tags: New Year's Eve, Romance, Alternate Universe - Witchcraft
Summary:

Ruth's not much of a witch, not really. Kneeling beside a corpse on the year’s turn is something any woman can do.


Here's one that was different! I've seen some of this show, I've been to the islands, but hadn't been particularly inspired to write for it. But then [personal profile] walkthegale was having a bad time just before Christmas, and I'd been promising her something for nearly a year, and, and. On the morning of 24 December I texted her lovely wife with a neverending slew of canon questions and scribbled and scribbled. I got this written finally an hour before the deadline and it was all worth it because C loved her gift and guessed it was me even before the de-anon. I was really pleased this whole thing came off.

ashes, ashes (2099 words) by raven
Fandom: The Incandescent - Emily Tesh
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Sapphire “Saffy” Walden/Laura Kenning
Characters: Sapphire “Saffy” Walden, Laura Kenning
Additional Tags: Aftermath, Recovery, Yuletide Treat
Summary:

It was time to go, and Laura said, “Saffy, you could come with me”—and Saffy said maybe, and it meant something but neither of them knew yet what.


I don't know that I have much to say about this one! I wrote it a few months ago, before the creative void, so it was nice to have a story in the archive that I definitely liked that wasn't written in a mad hurry. The recipient didn't show up, but we can't have everything.

I bet it's probably no surprise that I went with Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024) again. <3 This movie (and most of all Shadow the Hedgehog of course) had such a big influence on my life last year. (Yeah, it helped me a lot - especially in the beginning of 2025.)
