#And then he proceeds to ask “que tonterias? eres tu.”

It started out with me explaining Hak's PTSD lore, Kaya, and then my Sonic hyperfixation in incredibly fervent spanish to my father. My wonderful, stoically goofy, always been there, always been proud of me, never failed to make me feel loved and valued and worthwhile father. Mi papi. My role model in Christ, my protector, my favorite hugger.

I showed him my writing and he asked for my Ao3. I gave him my Ao3.

He wants an account.

He wants to read my works.

He can't really read them (he understands english but reading it is a little tricky) but he plans to get by with the google translate option---and I will definitely be uploading translations soon because google translate doesn't exactly cut it for me.

I know this might be a weird rant but I don't care. Also I'm not at all saying that I don't have irl people who cheer me on or who actively support my creative endeavors no matter what they are, but just. Having my dad be so unconditionally proud, wanting to be involved in this aspect of my life that I was so shy about for so long is so freeing.

He may not be perfect, but as my dad, I'd say he's pretty close.

Also he agreed to watch Sonic Prime with me (He genuinely enjoys the movies and Sonic media in general bc it's action-filled) but that's a little less relevant so.

Point is: dad appreciation post. God I love my dad.
