#Amazing Mom

[vananilla]

Amazing fictional mom award of the day goes to president Claremont. (Spoiler warning)

Even as her son coming out to her meant there were things she needed to deal with and protect herself in the campaign, she still took time to reassure Alex, and spend an evening with him and everything. She supported him from the very first second, even with the complications these revelations would entail.

Forty and Expecting

A woman in her 40s

At the mention of her age, we were immediately intrigued on what lies more. "This is my 3rd pregnancy, but my first with my current husband. My first child was unfortunately taken away when they were barely two, while my 2nd child is a 16-year-old girl focused on school— Was this pregnancy expected? Yes!" She asserts confidently. "We have been planning this with my husband and preparing in our own ways. Preparing in a sense of my physical well-being, I'm well aware of the risk of being pregnant at my age, and the last thing I want is to have a cesarean delivery with this child." We were further impressed on her dedication evident as she elaborated on the restraints of her diets and vitamin regimen for both her and the baby. She was even unabashed to share her practicing how she would push whenever she's in restrooms.

Let's Get Typical

" Pregnancy often comes with well-known symptoms like ‘pregnancy brain’ and persistent cravings. What are your experiences with that?” We asked

"Talong (Eggplant). biskan unsa nga pagkaluto: fried, torta, sinabaw, ginisa. Basta kay Talong, kay dali lang usapon ug tunlon."

"Ug sa mga pag huna.x nako, di gyd ko ka deny nga naa gyd dili maayo akong mahuna-huna usahay. Maonang sa first trimester nako kay sige ra ko sa balay, dili ko ganahan mag guwas, magpakita sa uban, biskan pa'g cellphone. Dili ko. Kay mo iwas ko sa lain na pag huna.x."

"Ug sa kanang sa mga pagkatanga ug lutang. Oo, naa gyd na siya. Di gyd na maiwasan."

"Hangak siya-- dali lang ko hangakon"

Walking presents its own set of challenges for her, as the pain from her bloated veins makes each step a struggle. At night, cramps disrupt her sleep, making even a good night’s rest elusive, especially when frequent trips to the bathroom add to her discomfort. The drowsiness and fatigue from her condition make the thought of long-distance walking or travel unappealing, with even short strolls feeling exhausting.

Yet, amidst these difficulties, the support she receives brings moments of immense comfort. The simple acts of her husband helping with her clothing, assisting her in the bath, or guiding her through walks are cherished. She describes these as "priceless moments.” appreciating how he is always at her beck and call, providing care and companionship through every challenge.

"Siyempre apil pd sila pamilya nako ga adjust"

Pregnancy is known for its unique emotional changes, and Ate Kath was no exception. Sudden bursts of emotion often caught her off guard, leaving her puzzled about their origin until she realized they stemmed from subconscious fatigue and the overwhelming nature of her situation. These mood swings extended beyond occasional breakdowns, affecting her relationships as well.

During her first trimester, not only was Ate Kath adjusting, but so were those around her. They had to adapt to her increased need for support and her heightened emotional vulnerability. She shared how these adjustments led to multiple conflicts with her husband. Even her daughter, excited as she was for her future sibling, found the wait and changes challenging. Yet, we sensed Ate Kath’s gratitude toward her daughter for choosing to understand, often seeking guidance from her aunts to better comprehend her mother’s state.

Over time, with persistent communication, the fights with her husband subsided. He became more understanding and considerate, transitioning from a source of stress to a shoulder to lean on after tiring days. This emotional support was crucial for Ate Kath, helping her persevere through the pregnancy. Without it, she admitted, her stress levels might have exceeded the borderline.

As a result, interactions with strangers that escalated to frustration or anger, especially with customers, didn’t bother her as much. She would eventually calm down, let it go, and even apologize if she realized her mistake. What stood out most about Ate Kath was her mindset—negativity didn’t matter much if it didn’t involve her family. She wasn’t troubled by not keeping up with distant friends, feeling thankful instead for having her family close by when she needed them.

Her friends at the store also understood her situation and adjusted accordingly, aware of the risks she faced being pregnant at her age.

“kanus-a pani mahuman?”

When we face suffering and pain, this is a common thought that arises. When our runny nose gets clogged up, during a terrible sore throat, or even having a mere hiccup; during those circumstances we recall the times when simple acts like breathing, drinking, and talking were effortless.

This reflection becomes even more poignant in extreme situations when you find yourself kneeling in the bathroom, emptying your stomach with each wave of nausea, or when even picking up a sock and getting dressed feels like an ordeal, When breakdowns become a daily routine, you're restrained from the joys of traveling and meeting up with friends from another part of town, the challenges can seem overwhelming.

These multitude of challenges all rolled up to the conception of a life, it would surprise me that everyone who has been in this situation never once had a slight thought of regret. Well, we didn't get surprised with Ate Kath because she did, especially in the first trimester. Yet, even with these thoughts, they were just but fleeting. Instead of dwelling on what she’s lost, she looks forward with hope. After all, rest isn't solely a privilege of yesterday—tomorrow holds the promise of respite too. And with that rest comes the reward for enduring the divine journey of bringing a new life into the world.

"ma okay rani, mahuman lang ni, ma okay nako, and mo abot na siya. Lahi napud siya na mga challenges ug adjustments, Oo. Pero in the end worth it gihapon tanan."

I’m not a fan of something until I’m drawing angsty comics of the tall lanky ones. So of course I had to draw the tumblr man.

I have a headcanon that Jax was a teenager when he joined and has been in the circus for years. Also Gooseworx said Jax receiving a ton of praise would ‘concern and frighten him’. So I took that and ran with it.

Serious question.

Do you think we’ll see the parents/family of each of the guys???

Like, We’ve been TEASED with Ace’s brother, that I’m starting to think it’s just a reference to that Alice in Wonderland park character in Japan and nothing else….

Jack’s family, Ruggie’s grandma, Falena, Maleficia, Ms.Rosehearts, Just now Vil’s dad is in the picture which I am really happy but now I’m wondering about his mom, and so Deuce’s mom.

I mean, some HAVE a silhouette!! It could mean they do have a design in the making/ready to show. They could’ve shown us Falena in the Tamashina (hope I said that correctly) event, but didn’t (prolly to make Leona not so σ(▼□▼メ) and it’s understandable)

Anyhow, any idea/headcannon about this? Who do you want to see first?

I'm wondering if everyone might eventually get a travel event? like they've now introduced with Vil's that it doesn't have to be specifically hometowns, so that opens things up a lot! (especially if they have to figure out how to do three separate Coral Sea visits) (how would that even work otherwise)

but yeah, I hope everyone gets a chance! there's a lot of backstory characters I would LOVE to meet. :D :D :D though I do think some of them don't really suit the more light-hearted tone of the events (pretty sure you're right about that being why Falena wasn't in Tamashina-Mina, that would've just been. too much for Leona.) so like...we're probably not ever going to meet the Rosehearts. or Maleficia (although I maintain that this would be THE funniest possible way to introduce her outside of the main story, and actually I would love this a lot, can we please Twst) (I need to see her to put Malleus in a froofy little outfit and tell him what a handsome boy he is). but they've sprung surprises like Kifaji on us, and honestly anyone who shows up and tells embarrassing stories about characters' childhoods is good in my book!

characters off the top of my head who I most want to meet: literally any of the Zigvolts, Azul's mom, Ace's brother, Che'nya's grandfather (<- I think he would be a good one for Riddle) (please just any non-terrible adult in his life), any member of Rook's family because I need to see how they managed to produce him, and...really just whoever they can come up with for Silver.

I really love gertrude robinson bc how often do you get an older woman character who just really sucks? She sacrifices ppl that trust her. She is so focused on keeping the world from ending that she completely doesn’t notice one of her assistants routinely torturing the others. She dismembered a guy. She does her job badly on purpose. She’s cunning and sneaky. She dares her murderous, immortality seeking boss to kill her. She gets murdered by her murderous, immortality seeking boss. She’s not particularly friendly. She somehow had access to plastic explosives. She’s a manipulator and a liar. She’s bound to the avatar of destruction. She helped a guy get rid of a pig by telling him to put it in conk crete. She is like the opposite of a sweet little grandma and that’s beautiful.

i think it's hilarious that no matter how important the situation is. annabeth will stop everything to greet an animal. stuck in the underworld and trying to save your friend's mom's soul while simultaneously trying to prevent a war between the gods? pet the three-headed guard dog. trapped in the deepest pit of hell and on the brink of death while trying to prevent the rise of a goddess determined to harm everyone and everything you care about? cuddle the half-dead cat. trying to help your boyfriend get his second college recommendation letter so the two of you can begin living the safe and happy life you had always wanted together? adopt and share custody of a hellhound with a goddess.
