makes your string of life dance distractingly
After some discussing and theorizing between me and a sibling about Robert being Wasian (specifically part Korean like one of the studio co-founders), we came up with the idea of his Grandmother/Grandpa Bobby's wife being Korean.
Grandma Su-jin (수진 "gather, harvest/long lifespan" + "true/precious") met Grandpa Bobby when the soon-to-be Mecha Man was stationed in Korea as a pilot.
The blond airman stumbled over broken Korean he read from a pocketbook as he asked the local woman for help ordering from a restaurant. He awkwardly called her a "bouncy chicken" in an attempt to call her something more flattering. She called him a "stupid yankee" in response. It was love at first language fumble.
It was a time of great political unrest on both sides of the Pacific, and Bobby and Su-jin had grown up witnesses to different horrors of war. They bonded over their shared hope for humanity despite their disillusionment in their respective governments.
When the yankee pilot was ordered back home, Su-jin stubbornly followed him. They were married before they even made it back to California.
Bobby and Su-jin combined their respective understanding of military vehicles and tactics to create what would be officially known as the first non-superpowered hero in the public eye.
Their time on earth together only ended when Bobby's life did.
Su-jin, heartbroken, stayed strong for her young son - whom she named Robert "Robbie" in his father's memory.
Robbie was his father's double despite inheriting his mother's dark eyes and hair. He also began to discard or ignore aspects of his heritage he deemed "Un-American". Robbie and Su-Jin didn't hate each other, but they were equally stubborn and combative. A recipe for disaster at any family gathering. Even when the junior took on his father's mantle, the pair's relationship was rocky at best.
Robbie would come back into contact with his mother once more however. When his own son was born.
Robert (or "Bobo" as Grandma took to calling him since it annoyed the overly-serious child), was far closer to his grandmother than to any other family member. Save for honorary big-brother Chase course. Robert inherited his grandmother's sharper features and sun-kissed freckles - his reddish-brown hair and doe eyes being remnants of whomever Robbie had created him with.
Robert has many memories of spending whole days in his grandmother's care. The elder woman taking him to all of her favourite haunts in the city, where he grew up listening to the chatter of other immigrant women, and playing with children who had no idea he was a superhero's heir.
Grandma's second-greatest heartbreak was when Robbie was killed by Elliot Conners/Shroud.
Poor relationship or not, he was still her little Robbie.
Grandma's heart sank even further when Robert went missing - taking his father's suit with him in a bid to seek revenge or catharsis. She wilted like a flower missing sunshine.
Chase kept the old woman updated on Mecha Man Blue's escapades. He knew that no matter how powerful that suit was or how high Mecha Man climbed the ranks of heroes, Su-jin would worry for the little boy she remembered him as.
Robert finally reunites with his grandmother after the explosion that nearly kills him.
She is at his side, scolding him like he's a child burned by a hot pan. Through her angry tears, she makes Robert understand that she cannot take the loss of another Robertson in her life. He is all that remains of her husband, her son, and all that they built together. She doesn't care if she has to bubble-wrap him to keep him safe!
Robert agrees to try and take better care of himself from now on.
It's welcome to have someone looking out for him again, even if Grandma has no sense of privacy, and will show up at SDN unannounced to bully Robert into eating a solid meal.
Grandma Su-Jin: "You're too skinny! You can't fill your belly with nothing but sweets! It's just like when you were little, too many sweets, and you don't eat your dinner!" Z-Team, on-call: (*absolutely dunking on their dispatcher for having his grandma treat him like a lil kid!*) XD Robert: (*dying of embarrassment*)
I just like the idea of Robert being wasian and having a doting grandparent.
it feels insane for this thread to be so recent...
MEW SUIT ;3333
WHY DOES EVERYONE MAKE FUN OF MY " N " 😭😭😭 I JUST WRITE LIKE THAT
its a cursive thing guys lol
your "r" is also very cursive even though it's all disconnected, and you have leads and tails on your "a" "i" "t" etc. i think it's all very pretty!
(though i think wyfy also really does deserve a Mew Suit. lol)
breaking my silence,
I still don’t know why they call it ‘whump’ and ‘blorbo’ like that’s so random, who came up with that? what’s the story behind it? and if I’m being honest, I hate the names ‘whump’ and ‘blorbo’, they both sound terrible, I’m sorry. don’t get me wrong, I love whump and I have my own blorbos, I just don’t know or understood why it’s called whump and blorbo or why we couldn’t come up with better names to call them
whump is Stargate SG1 heritage lol, I think it's bc we all literally whump Daniel? like, the noise of a thud? anyways it's so funny

By brother in Christ, Leo was in a coma.
When I saw this post I had an idea (and then I saw someone had commented something similar as well) so I just had to draw it.
didn't matter that I'm visiting family and only have my sketchbook and a couple of pens with me
oh, 2012 gave leo the bathtub scene? kewl kewl
wu ship wednesdayyyyyyy
i think it would be funny for aspheera and wu to have a sort of "elderly divorcees that keep trying to impress the grandkids more and sometimes hookup bc it's annoying to find someone else who can do that thing just right" vibe
the grandkids, of course, are the ninja. also really funny if aspheera's favorite is kai. will she manage to buy him over or will he remain skittish?
A classic moment where the older brother embarrasses his beloved younger sister, with the added bonus of embarrassing her in front of her boyfriend
testing the cartoon style based on the panty & stocking style
au contraire lovely prev: there's only a 1 year difference between myself and my next younger sibling but that's enough overlap between him knowing his diaper needed changing and me being able to do that (notably bc we couldn't find someone bigger or i would have shucked it on but alas, we do what we can)
kai has two years on her so he could definitely be changing ickle nya
this is probably a nitpick but when i finished building the four wepons set and tryed to set up the minifigs in a way i liked i was met with the issue of there not being enough space for me to be able to see where the singular stud is to place kai down near the anvil. it could just be that i have big adult hands but i don't see how this could be comfortable for a kid to play around in.
My hand for reference

legitimate complaint for a playset i think. plus it is rated 14+, and 14 year old hands are often most of their adult size
