Goes nonverbal also as a caregiver, uses flashcards and such with each other.

Secretly enjoys baking, so we bake together.

THE CUDDLER!!!!

TFC William as a CG:

Kinda similar to Movie verse.

Tries to help figure out whats going on with me medically.

Is very gentle when it comes to doctor care.

Cannot do much due to pain + Disabilities, but does the best he can by providing a comfortable set up, buying things for comfort.

Has a set up in his bedroom so we can stay near each other and watch over each other.

Likes it when i play doctor for him.

Can do simple things, like play with my hair.

Pumpkin Rabbit as a CG:

FINALLY a baby. Him and his wife always wanted a Baby.

Teaches Older me how to hunt, but as regressed he mainly carries me while on his hunt, especially since I'm quiet.

Takes me pumpkin picking and carving.

Reads bedtime stories.

Witch Sha / Rachel as a CG:

Quite emotional about having a little one finally.

When Pumpkin Rabbit goes on hunts, she wraps me in a blanket and we watch movies in the couch.

Sings lullabies when its bed time, both tuck me in.

the Cuddler 2

Bandit and Chili as CGs:

This is more based on a regressor oc rather than an adult being a regressor ! ( so a kid ) /gen

I'll write Bluey and Bingo as siblings one day <3

Bandit Claims to be the "cool parent" ( Chili is just as cool )

Bandit does lean more on the sweets and junk food, while Chili leans on healthy foods, but they both make sure i get enough.

Turns the spare room into my room. Bandit buys decor and Chili helps decorate it. ( extra blankies, stuffies etc ).

Chili teaches me new crafts and such! Helps me with my crochet and kandi.

them and the girls love playing games! So we have board game nights.

Chili helps me make it fun to help clean up on days i have spoons to clean, and on days i have no spoons but feel like helping, she gives me minor activies to do ( aka pretend cleaning ).

Silco as a CG:

sneaks us somewhere to play in cleaner waters.

Mini parties with Jinx

Always sneaking me objects or snacks like its SOME big secret but its really just to get me to laugh or feel apart of the mission

when shit is serious he often tucks me away in my room if i cannot join him or Jinx.

Jinx sometimes gets to stay with me and we make up games.

We enjoy calmer games when its just me and Silco. I spy, or just naming things with a start of a letter.

Endless Art supply for me ( and Jinx because we both love art when regressed ).

Princess Celestia as a CG:

Plays Royalty with me. Sometimes lets me use her crown.

Loves taking me for a stroll in the early mornings.

Knows her beautiful sun can be too hot at times, so she brings me mini fans or buys ice cream sometimes.

Often takes me with her on her trips unless its too busy or dangerous.

Loves to make me teas or coffee she knows i enjoy.

Sometimes we go to a beach together! We find sea shells :)

btw i always see my fictional caregivers as flips unless i say otherwise!

Unless we're moots please don't tag William as f/o ! Okay to tag the rest as f/o or caregiver or take inspiration. Okay to use moodboards as long as you don't claim you edited them together! /lh

[homonationalist]

At present, it is standard among practically all communities to fête the family as a bastion of relative safety from state persecution and market coercion, and as a space for nurturing subordinated cultural practices, languages, and traditions. But this is not enough of a reason to spare the family. Frustratedly, Hazel Carby stressed the fact (for the benefit of her white sisters) that many racially, economically, and patriarchally oppressed people cleave proudly and fervently to the family. She was right; nevertheless, as Kathi Weeks puts it: “the model of the nuclear family that has served subordinated groups as a fence against the state, society and capital is the very same white, settler, bourgeois, heterosexual, and patriarchal institution that was imposed by the state, society, and capital on the formerly enslaved, indigenous peoples, and waves of immigrants, all of whom continue to be at once in need of its meagre protections and marginalized by its legacies and prescriptions” (emphasis mine). The family is a shield that human beings have taken up, quite rightly, to survive a war. If we cannot countenance ever putting down that shield, perhaps we have forgotten that the war does not have to go on forever.

This is why Paul Gilroy remarked in his 1993 essay “It’s A Family Affair,” “even the best of this discourse of the familialization of politics is still a problem.” Gilroy is grappling with the reality that, in the United Kingdom as in the United States, the state’s constant disrespect of the Black home and transgression of Black households’ boundaries, as well as its disproportionate removal of Black children into the foster-care industry, understandably inspires an urgent anti-racist politics of “familialization” in defense of Black families. Both the British and American netherworlds of supposedly “broken” homes (milieus that are then exoticized, and seen as efflorescing creatively against all odds), have posed an obstinate threat to the legitimacy of the family regime simply by existing, Gilroy suggests. The paradox is that the “broken” remnant sustains the bourgeois regime insofar as it supplies the culture, inspiration, and oftentimes the surrogate care labor that allows the white household to imagine itself as whole. As a dialectician, “I want to have it both ways,” writes Gilroy, closing out his essay. “I want to be able to valorize what we can recover, but also to cite the disastrous consequences that follow when the family supplies the only symbols of political agency we can find in the culture and the only object upon which that agency can be seen to operate. Let us remind ourselves that there are other possibilities.

There are other possibilities! Traces of the desire for them can be found in Toni Cade (later Toni Cade Bambara)’s anthology The Black Woman, published in America in 1970, not long after the publication of the US labor secretariat’s “Moynihan report,” The Negro Family: The Case for National Action. The open season on the Black Matriarch was in full swing. And certainly not all of the anthology’s feminists, in their valiant effort to beat back societal anti-maternal sentiment (matrophobia) and the hatred of Black women specifically (more recently known as “misogynoir”), make the additional step of criticizing familism within their Black communities. But one or two contributors do flatly reject the notion that the family could ever be a part of Black (collective human) liberation. Kay Lindsey, in her piece “The Black Woman as a Woman,” lays out her analysis that: “If all white institutions with the exception of the family were destroyed, the state could also rise again, but Black rather than white.” In other words: the only way to ensure the destruction of the patriarchal state is for the institution of the family to be destroyed. “And I mean destroyed,” echoes the feminist women’s health center representative Pat Parker in 1980, in a speech she delivered at ¡Basta! Women’s Conference on Imperialism and Third World War in Oakland, California. Parker speaks in the name of The Black Women’s Revolutionary Council, among other organizations, and her wide- ranging statement (which addresses imperialism, the Klan, and movement- building) purposively ends with the family: “As long as women are bound by the nuclear family structure we cannot effectively move toward revolution. And if women don’t move, it will not happen.” The left, along with women especially of the upper and middle classes, “must give up ... undying loyalty to the nuclear family,” Parker charges. It is “the basic unit of capitalism and in order for us to move to revolution it has to be destroyed.”

Forty years later, the British writer Lola Olufemi is among those reminding us that there are other possibilities: “abolishing the family...” she tweets, “that’s light work. You’re crying over whether or not Engels said it when it’s been focal to black studies/black feminism for decades.” For Olufemi as for Parker and Lindsey, abolishing marriage, private property, white supremacy, and capitalism are projects that cannot be disentangled from one another. She is no lone voice, either. Annie Olaloku-Teriba, a British scholar of “Blackness” in theory and history, is another contemporary exponent of the rich Black family-abolitionist tradition Olufemi names. In 2021, Olaloku-Teriba surprised and unsettled some of her followers by publishing a thread animated by a commitment to the overthrow of “familial relations” as a key goal of her antipatriarchal socialism. These posts point to the striking absence of the child from contemporary theorizations of patriarchal domesticity, and criticize radicals’ reluctance to call mothers who “violently discipline [Black] boys into masculinity” patriarchal. “The adult/child relation is as central to patriarchy as ‘man’/‘woman,’” Olaloku-Teriba affirms: “The domination of the boy by the woman is a very routine and potent expression of patriarchal power.” These observations reopen horizons. What would it mean for Black caregivers (of all genders) not to fear the absence of family in the lives of Black children? What would it mean not to need the Black family?

❝ Ia . . . Why did Dandy just call me his mom ？❞

Iago glances up from braiding Thistle's hair, holding a ribbon in their teeth while they work.

“Prob-ly -cause-” They stop, hold up a finger, take the ribbon out to tie off the black, curly end of their daughter's hair and speak clearly, “Probably because you're his mom.” 

“And my aunt..?” Thistle says quietly, tilting her head up and backwards to look at Iago for confirmation with those big ole' eyes of hers. 

They tickle her nose with the end of her own braid instead of giving a surefire answer and start to usher her away while she giggles, “Shoo. Go play with your cousin. And tell him if he tugs out your ribbon again, Auntie Iago is going to put one in his hair next. The gaudiest color I can find.” 

When Thistle skips off, looking concerningly delighted by the prospect of threatening Dandy, Iago scoots over and tugs Puck down onto the couch next to them.

“Because you're his mom,” they say again, poking him in the side before asking a little more seriously, “Does it bother you?”

soobin weverse update after 38 days ㅠㅠ

[kuzcoskingdom]

you know what, as funny and iconic as the scene where kuzco pretends to be pacha's wife is, sometimes i wish they did not include it simply because maybe without that scene more people would realize that pacha is intentionally written as kuzco's father figure. or idk maybe nothing would change and people would still miss the point of the movie even without it. sigh.
