Description Just a little context, but not all! Just some random doodles I felt like doing. XD

As well as a bit of an insight to her childhood. Believe it or not, THIS STUFF? Doesn't even need Weirdness Magnetism. It's just her ending up in a LOT of improbable situations. And, even as a child, making the best out of what she's been given.

Tara as a grown up? She's pretty much a master at turning lemons into lemonade. Or at least, seeing a situation through, even if it's completely insane. Such as...

---------------------------

1) That time Tara was being scared at night by monsters. And finally had enough of it.

It is common knowledge that most versions of Earth across the multiverse have their own "Monster World" where monsters come out of closets to scare the crap out of people. Because the screams of innocent children power their cities. This version of the Monster World in particular was still running on Scare-Power, and had the displeasure of giving sleep deprivation to the wrong red-headed girl. She made a plan to get her sleep schedule back...

First, she took an IQ-Enhancing helmet, to formulate a plan.
Second, she made a dummy of herself, and placed it into the bed. Where the scary monster expects her to be.
Third, she swallows an implant which suppresses her ability to make vocal sound. Then activates its Vocoder Function. So she can't scream.
Then, finds an cloaking device her dad was making, and uses it to go into the Monster World when the closet opened.

Then, she was in the world of monsters. On an epic quest....to go file a complaint. 

Things didn't go quite as planned, so a lot of improvising was required.

--------------------

2) That time fairies attempted to take Tara to the Faerie World, while a changeling replaced her.

Believe it or not, this specific community of Feyfolk believes this is a sign of gratitude! Allowing a child to live in a world of magic, tricks, and magic tricks, while a look-alike of them took their place back on the surface. And the Watts family being who they are, they bought it, hook, line and sinker. Albeit showing some surprise when she showed signs of NOT being normal.

Cue to later on, a young Tara storming back up, and getting into a fight with the Changeling. And because it's weak against cold iron, she logically grabbed a pan, and tried to shoo it out of the house.

As you can see, the family involved is highly concerned for the Changeling's health.

--------------------

3) That time made friends with a Basilisk, by singing a lullaby to it in Parselmouth.

One day, Tara noticed that all the spiders in her room were getting really scared of something. Her pet tarantula, Rosie, was especially frightened, and didn't wanna come out to cuddle anymore. So, she went straight to her dad's scientific equipment!

First, she got a probe to find out the source of the scariness, which was a Basilisk in the sewers.
Second, she found an IQ-Enhancing Helmet to try to make a plan, once the target had been identified. 
Then, with her dad's Brain Downloading Module, she downloaded an entire dictionary's worth of Parseltongue into her little brain.
Then, she fitted herself with a module that would allow her to walk into its dwelling place without getting petrified.
Then, she went for it. And sang her song.

It was kind of scary at first. But she managed to hold a conversation with it, and eventually ended up befriending it. And at least telling it not to scare her spiders to much. 

That was the day...that Tara decided she liked snakes too.

--------------------

4) That time Professor Watts and Jason Merrin got stranded on an island with her. (Jason belongs to

Specifically, one time where Professor Watts and Jason had a disagreement over where to take Tara to vacation. Jason was going for something sensible, like taking Tara for a trip to a theme park. But Professor Watts, being insane, was heading with her to a place called "Mount Massive Asylum", because he felt like blowing up crazy people. And "Take Your Kid To Work Day" was in full swing, he claimed. They ended up having a fight at the wheel, and crashing into here!

There was an IQ-Increasing Helmet there, thankfully enough! 

Which is a good thing, because for the duration of their time stranded, Jason spent the time calling Watts a piece of shit who's awful at raising his only normal daughter, Watts spent the time calling Jason an asshole who's no fun, and both having Ho Yay moments along the way. And kinda sorta wondering if that's allowed, considering Watts is married.

Luckily for them, Lady Millennium appreciates yaoi. And embarrassingly enough, Tara ended up doing all the work in creating a vessel home. XD

Did you get the Basilisk idea from lady Sanda in my fanfic?

Actually I did! I forget exactly how things transpired in that fanfic, but the basic idea is to befriend the Basilisk rather than kill it.

Although in actuality, Tara is more of a fan of Acromantulas herself. Loves 'em to bits, and had even befriended an entire colony, after saving them from a particularly formidable threat. AND went out of her way to meet every individual of that colony. 

The fact that she has a pet tarantula and several spider friends to vouch for her had helped matters.

Honestly, I feel Lady Millennium doesn't get as much of the spotlight as she deserves, she could do with a bit more prominence in your gallery, dude

Great pictures nonetheless

Tara has lead a charmed life, huh?

Although, yeah, that sounds about right with Jason and Prof. Jason has always been a little bi, and getting stranded with the Professor for a few days, well...he figured out what Milla sees in him. XD

Although, at this point he would most likely be paralyzed, but he didn't get his cybernetic braces until much later, so we'll just label this one quasi-canon.

*SNERK* Yup. Charmed indeed. ESPECIALLY the Monster World one, hooboy was that a saga!

(Ahhh whoop. Sorry, forgot he was paraplegic at the time. I'll remember it for next time! XC)

Either way, I think that stay at the island about sums it up. Underneath the mad science, crap parenting skills, and outspoken hatred of religion...the good professor isn't ALL bad. There is a reason why his family loves him!

Albeit they'd both admit, Tara would probably be better off seeing Jason more often, no?

TheHook1 In reply to TipsyRa1d3n [2018-04-18 03:17:41 +0000 UTC]

Actually, Jason isn't keen on religion either. Ezra is Jewish but that's more cultural than anything else. 

But back to the point, seeing Tara more often would probably be better for both of them.

TipsyRa1d3n In reply to TheHook1 [2018-04-18 03:28:33 +0000 UTC]

Most likely. Probably not outright staying with him YET, since Jason is quite a busy man. But well...he definitely ends up being the most reliable adult in Tara's life. The one who taught her that there IS a grown-up she can ask for help. 

Because considering all of THIS....this was a weak point of her biological parents. Who are literal SUPERHEROES.

Shall they hang their heads in shame? XD

Outshone in parenting by a paraplegic 50 year old with a stick up his ass.

That has to HURT.

Say...one question.

Does Tara still meet Ezra as a teen?? Or does he come into Jason's tutelage earlier than that??

TheHook1 In reply to TipsyRa1d3n [2018-04-18 10:52:03 +0000 UTC]

How old is Tara? Because Ezra is mid twenties and he's been Wraithing for about four or five years.

At the time of HSIS, 15 years old.

Maybe she'd know him since she was 10 or 11?

I mean...at that point I figure you just give Jason custody and resign yourself to Aunt and Uncle status.

Like Kenshi and his boy.

You know that's a really interesting thought! Tara growing up with JASON as her surrogate father.

After all, she's self-sufficient to look after herself if need be. She's a strong kid, believe me.

MEANWHILE, Lady and Professor Watts pamper their "Wonder Child", Hector! Who has inherited all of Lady Millennium's powers!

...but can't beat Tara in combat. At all. XD

TheHook1 In reply to TipsyRa1d3n [2018-04-18 14:40:52 +0000 UTC]

Of course he can't, Jason taught Tara everything he knows. 

Even though he was older and lacked powers, Jason could hold his own with Milla in a fight just be being clever and better trained than she was. He passed that knowledge on to Tara, and now she's a force to reckoned with even for the most powerful of entities.

Of course. Skill vs Strength, y'know? Using strength to the fullest while still having a good head between your shoulders. Allowing Tara to keep up with legitimately challenging cases.

Boiling down to a battle!

Ace Hero "Red Flare" (Alpha)

Vs...

I kinda wonder...d'you think at some point, after Hector stops being a brat, he'd be able to train some with Jason? Y'know, so he can be just a little more effective? XD

Check the message I just sent you.

But perhaps Ezra could get him into shape.
