#Event: FATHER'S DAY

He doesn't want to talk about what today is.

He's just going to sit and drink a beer.

father’s day is funny in my family because my dad is so angry this holiday exists that it’s the one day of the year i am NOT allowed to call him. we are officially estranged for 24 hours a year. wishing him a happy father’s day is a declaration of hostilities.

and like he is a good dad with a good dad, there’s no traumatic backstory to this, he just hates The Man telling him what to do so much that it’s a personal affront that someone decided that anyone is supposed to feel a thing on a specific day or, god forbid, spend their hard earned dollars because shaving commercials tell them to. if a dad did his job right (be a good father who unconditionally loves his kids), his kids should love him 364 days a year but FUCK the 365th day to spite hallmark and gillette specifically and you know what. i respect it.

Continuing with @ice-cold-shihoin:

Taking the offered gift, Yōsuke's attention shifted from it to Yūno and back again periodically as she spoke. He was and had been many things, but oblivious was seldom one of them—he knew nerves when he saw them. And so he did his best to not make her more anxious by focusing entirely on her.

A little nod followed as she finished and he undid the wrapping with some care, setting it aside to momentarily inspect and open the box. His brows lifted slightly and he brought it up a little closer to more carefully inspect the cufflinks, soon lifting one to consider the workmanship more thoughtfully... albeit not for too long. It wasn't long before he carefully set it back with the other and smiled at his daughter.

"I can tell a lot of care was taken with these. They're elegantly made. I do actually own a suit, you know? Want to see what these look like with it?"

Tommy has been in a Lavender marriage for ten years and since his cousin does his taxes he actually kind of forgot about it. He's pretty sure she lives in Florida now?

Tommy gets an email from Alicia letting him know that she's thinking she might actually come out to a few of her friends, and not even thinking about it says something offhand to Buck about his wife finally coming out of the closet. "Apparently it's a good year for that."

Buck reacts to this news super extra normal-like, as we would expect.

(He spirals for days and ducks Tommy's calls and begs for advice and finally it comes to a head when he blurts out something to the effect of "Well you can't marry me if you're ALREADY MARRIED TOMMY.")

Tommy, licking powdered sugar off his thumb: Evan, you haven't even told me you love me.

Buck, flailing, halfway through his tirade, pauses and blinks: You should get a divorce.

Tommy, who has already contacted a lawyer: Do you consider it less like cheating if the words don't cross your lips?

Let Papyrus Say Fuck Day 2024 (Father edition)

Papyrus parenting all the childs of my 6 SOULs timeline would be pretty interesting (notably if they came back to life at the end of Undertale? don't know how that'd work but it'd be cool) and he would do it without hesitation, no question asked, fully embracing the father/mother/parent role. Also he would help raising Frisk and taking care of Flowey (who is his biggest fan/best friend so he'd come anyway).

Again, Happy Let Papyrus Say Fuck Day!! (always by @insanelyadd)

And Happy Father's day!!

i am really excited to see my family for a camping trip this long weekend. i am really not excited to inevitably get into an angry stalemate over palestine with at least one of my family members

[gemsarejustshinyrocks]

hey remember the time Talia slept with the teenage son of the man she has a child with how fucked up was that

Basically? An AU where where instead of going off to become the Red Hood and "punish" Bruce as Talia wished, Jason kills her.

It takes time, and training, and planning, and luck (and all the magic Robin was supposed to have) but Jason kills Talia.

Ra's is gone and Talia is dead. The League should be over, except-

Hello, there's a tiny assassin child trying to kill him.

His name is Damian al Ghul, and wow, he really looks just like Bruce, doesn't he?

(no more dead robins.)

Father's Day is here!!! So of course Loid Forger is on the mind...

I feel like Twilight has this interesting role in terms of fatherhood. Because his main priority is to make Anya get Stellas, so in that way he is not really a great dad in the sense that he is pressuring her to do this one thing (and also pressure from Friendship Scheme as well without him even knowing) and that's all he truly cares about.

But...he also has to actually be a good father in order to have a good relationship with Anya and to make those around him see him as a good father. While also not actually embracing the role internally. Unlike with Yor, who I think truly is trying to embrace the role of mother even though it is fake, Twilight understandably tries to keep the roles of loving father and spouse as just what they are: roles. He can't get too attached, and if there is a conflict between playing that role and a mission's success, the mission always comes first. But...technically Operation Strix is his mission, the most important mission, actually. Which is why we have those moments of him reminding himself that he has to truly become that perfect father, and his family is his mission, particularly during the Cruise Arc.

"How could Twilight, the man of a thousand faces, forget how crucial it is to become the role?" (Episode 31 / Chapter 48)

"I know it was an emergency but I ended up having to leave my family yet again...What am I even thinking? The family is just another mission...No, this time my mission was this vacation..." (Episode 34 / Chapter 55)

There's this blurring of lines for him...it is hard to keep track of what parts of what he does are to perfectly fit the father role "for the mission," what parts are to maintain a good relationship with Anya "for the mission," and what parts are...maybe not for the mission at all. I feel like he would not need to constantly remind himself it's for the mission unless...part of him feels like he is doing some things that are not.

Which goes back to him being a father. I feel like there are a lot of ways to go about making a child do what you want, and as we saw with Nightfall's idea of how to deal with Anya, intimidation and intentional intense pressure are definitely a method of doing that. But Twilight...doesn't do that. Even though it might be the most efficient way of getting the mission done, he tries not to create that kind of environment and even seeks advice from Yor to build a positive relationship for Anya and studying and raising her in general.

A "for the mission" stance could be he needs to maintain the façade of the perfect father to Yor and everyone else around him so he has a good enough reputation to associate with Donovan Desmond, and parenting the way Loid does is just the best way to do that. But plenty of parents don't take any of their child's interests or wants into consideration, put a lot of pressure and expectations on their kids, (including Desmond himself) and are strict about everything. In an elite school like Eden, I would even expect that kind of parenting to be the norm, or at least fairly common. Forcing Anya to study for hours and work on improving her skills at extracurricular activities constantly even when she does not want to would probably be the fastest way to securing Stellas, and most likely, no one (who mattered for the mission anyway) would bat an eye.

And yet, Loid chooses to not do that. He pushes Anya to study, be friends with Damian, and try other methods like volunteering to get Stellas to possibly get close to Donovan, but it is never in a "ruling with an iron fist" kind of way. He is strict in a way, yes, but he seems to try to truly make Anya's time with the Forgers, however short he thinks it may be, a positive one. He takes interest in her favorite show to connect with her and hopefully make learning more fun...he allows her to keep Bond (even though it is with the threat of Anya not going to school) and cares for him because he know she cares about him...he highkey risks the entire mission during the Eden admission interview because Swan was pushing and insulting Anya (and Yor, too)...he rents out a whole castle to reward her for getting into Eden...he truly tries to understand her and meet her where she is at.

I think he thinks all of these actions away in one way or another as "for the mission," but he just truly has a desire to see Anya happy. It could be his main desire to create a world where no children cry, his personal experiences from childhood, his connection to Anya as an orphan...whatever it is, Twilight's natural instinct as a parent seems to be to lead with kindness. He sometimes doubts his actions as a father because it is a role he is not familiar with, but in a similar way to Yor, his instincts when it comes to parenting are generally good ones because he leads with care.

Loid is not a perfect father by any means but. I feel like I see a lot of people saying either "he's the perfect dad and loves Anya" or "he doesn't really care, it's all for the mission," but the reasons for his actions really fall somewhere in between. It really is for the mission, that's his job, and it's what he has been doing for years. And it really is from his heart, his desire to make a world where children don't cry, his desire to care for Anya. Both can be true.

That being said...Of course, it's infused with his need to accomplish his mission for world peace, but it's really lovely to see those moments where his desire to take care of Anya shine, and there seem to be more and more of those moments as the story goes on. He's really stepping into that father role more and more, and it gets more real as time goes on. (And I think the breaking down of his "no feelings" walls will really start to be broken by Anya, not Yor, as he keeps stepping into that role.)

Even though he's not a typical father, I really think that he's going about parenthood in the best way the best spy in the country working for world peace can do. (If there even is a scale for such a thing 😅) Whether it's for the mission or not, he really does care for Anya and puts her first, as every parent should.

i love this frame so much it fills me with so much joy. he is so FATHER

Hi Mari! I saw people say that the novel side stories made Anastacius seem a bit weird and timeline confusing but I haven’t found anything about it yet, do you know what it could be?

Eh? That's a strange thing to say. Anastasius doesn't appear in the novel's side stories. Or in the novel. He is barely mentioned in a couple of lines.

What we can infer by Claude's backstory is that Anastasius was emperor for a couple of years at most, before a very young Claude killed him (probably when he was around 18-21, but that's just my estimation going by Athy's age). Shortly after he met Diana and Athy was conceived.

We know that all these events must have happened very quickly because: (1) Claude killed Anastasius when Penelope was already pregnant, (2) Jennette was born in the first month of the year, and (3) Athy in the last month.

That's the timeline I could give you. Again, I don't think Anastasius makes the timeline weird in the side stories because Anastasius isn't even a character, and he doesn't appear in them. He is pretty much Spoon's OC for an intents and purposes.
