#(dad and lesbian sibling)

[punkeropercyjackson]

I love my troubled but good 1900s adultified black punk kids who had to learn how to advocate for themselves at a young age,are sweet as extra frosted stuffed cookies yet say and do things so out of pocket you'd think they practice it and killed a canon event/prophetic antagonist when it wasn't meant to go like that but carved their own destiny because they don't believe in following someone else's path instead of making their own

my dad was on his best behavior tonight. i met him and his new wife. he has a white beard now and looks like every grizzled fisherman in an old sea myth. it was awkward but my siblings carried the conversation (as i was typing that sentence, my sister called to debrief and said "yeah, that was my goal, just to keep talking.") my dad's new wife repeatedly hassled both of my siblings about settling down and having kids, but left me alone, presumably because i'm Butch Dyke. my brother mentioned doing volunteer work with foreign students at college and she went, "oh, are they illegals?" which was the only really nasty reminder of Who These People Are. then when my brother said he'd been talking to a friend, she went, "oh, a giiiiirl?" and he got the meanest look on his face and flatly went, "no. they're nonbinary." truly taking one for the team in terms of being the most problematic one at the dinner table.

dad told several stories about when i was in elementary school, since that's the last time i was his daughter. he reminded me that a lot of who i am now comes directly from him in ways that aren't Always bad. he was the one who told me to beat the shit out of anyone who harassed me or my friends. he was the one who taught me how to fight. he was the one who impressed upon me that i'm ruthless before i'm ever a woman, however much he may regret that now.

i put on my best high-pitched all-american cheerleader appeasement voice for all of dinner, and his wife said, "oh, you sound just like your mother! your voice.... it's so strange" thank you ma'am. it's because my mother and i both know how to win.

made the mistake of reading through the political discussions on my big family groupchat that I usually keep muted. you must never do such a thing.

Family Talks

*Marcus, Johnny, and Nooshy sitting in the living room*

Marcus, talking: - and imagine you date a girl, right?

Johnny, suddenly paying attention and looking up from his phone: Oh... no. Ew.

Marcus, rolling his eyes: Not you Johnny, I’m talking to your sister.

Johnny, sighing in relief: Oh, I was scared for a minute there.

my parents being fucking weird has ruined so many of the activities queers typically salivate over

Hurray!! My sister came out to my mum as bi/pan and told ma she had a girlfriend and it went well! She's not 100% supportive but we'll get there

number one thing that i hate translating tagalog to english is that i cant show the intricacies in speech.

like. the word tomboy. it means a WHOLE OTHER THING IN TAGALOG. i've apparently been called a lesbian almost my entire life and i didn't know. that or my mom used the english meaning in context rather than tagalog when i was a kid then used the tagalog meaning when i got older.

i love intricacies in language, dont you?

From earlier

[punkeropercyjackson]

Hobie and Hazel talking about their earlier childhoods and Hazel telling him about how she swore in front of the nuns at the catholic school she used to go to and died taking down Gaea and Hobie being like 'That's so punk' so Hazel's like 'I am :D?!' and next thing you know he's got her at his houseboat diy'ing her piercings before he dyes purple streaks in her hair and teaching her how to make a pastel battle jacket while yapping about anarchist theory the entire time

Bugtopia creeps closer and closer to its debut as a Webtoon Original, so I thought I'd share one oc my favorite scenes from canvas:

If you like bugs, non-nuclear families, lgbt rep, wholesome stuff, funny stuff, or specifically anthropomorphic bugs, keep an eye out for this one.
