#Parenting Headcanons

[aki-chan2014]

WTPR parenting headcanons (Hee-joo and Sa-eon)

So, as all (or at least most) of us are probably all emotionally devastated by Episode 10, I am putting together some headcanons about what I think Hee-joo and Sa-eon are like as parents. I had been sort of mulling some of these over for a while already, but before this weeks episodes I had been thinking of saving them until the series finished. But here we are now

This is imagining a happy ending for them, all the problems resolved....somehow. The details of how everything is solved really isn't important here, what's important is the fluff. Nonetheless, I will out this all under a keep reading since some spoilers may crop up. So, enjoy!!

I'm gonna be hella specific, and say they're going to have four children. I'd imagine they'd have more than one anyway, but I am also imagining their household as having a good kind of chaos. Noisy, lively, clearly a very warm and lived in household. But also just a bit silly. So, four children.

Because I like naming characters, I decided to give the specific kids of this headcanon list names. I don't know too much about Korean names except what I have gleaned through k-dramas, Korean crime novels, some other books, and various name websites and threads (the specific site I used to find these names is https://korean-name.com/en/ ). After considering the different names I've seen, I decided to do it where the boys have a shared syllable and the girls have a different shared syllable. So: Eldest son: Hae-young The twins: Hae-min (boy) and Ye-rin (girl) Youngest girl: Ye-seol

They also have a dog, as per that daydream scene. I don't know what the dog would be named, but the kids would name it and it would be such a bonkers name both parents are embarrased to yell it across the park when the dog inevitably bounds off to chase birds.

Though at this point, Hee-joo is speaking everywhere, she still teaches all four children sign language, and takes them to the Sign Language Center. They all love it there, and the workers at that center also all adore the children. The twins both volunteer there to help their university applications (they are both very ambitious and end up with the most 'prestiguous' life paths, but more of that later) But regardless, all four drop back into the sign language center to help out at various points during their adolescence and adulthood. And they do use sign language with each other quite a lot anyway. Despite Hee-joo speaking everywhere, she will still sometimes answer things in sign language anyway, out of instinct.

Just like Hee-joo and Sa-eon are a very cuddly couple, they are also very cuddly parents. Any opportunity to hug their kids (as long as they're comfy with it), they will take. On weekends, when there's nowhere to go and nothing to do, they will all camp out either in the parents' bed or one of the kids beds and have a 'cuddle in' (like a lie-in, but with cuddles and not technically being asleep). Hae-young will particularly inherit this tendency towards cuddliness, and ends up the most soft-natured of the four siblings overall. Also, all their formal family pictures have them with their arms around each other, leaning in, all genuine smiles. Nothing stiff about these pictures.

Sa-eon reads SO MANY parenting books when they're expecting Hae-young, and then finds special ones about twins when they're expecting the twins, and he uses them a LOT. Like, he will have pocket versions of the books (or maybe like, photocopied pages with highlighted sections) tucked away in his pocket and will actually whip them out and flip through them in the middle of like, a toddler tantrum or whatever, to work out how to deal with whatever part of parenting has got him flummoxed.

Hee-joo also carefully reads the parenting manuals, but is a bit more normal about it.

However, speaking of tantrums, Sa-eon ends up having some creative ways of dealing with them. He does have less patience overall, being the stricter parent, but he does his best to not resort to shouting or whatever. Some of his strategies are: 1)confusing the kid when he whips out a book to work out how to handle them. 2)picking them up and spinning them around, before putting them down again. Over time, this evolves into being called 'the washing machine' and occasionally, the kids will walk up to him like "daddy I'm [sad/angry/annoyed] can you put me in the washing machine?" so he pickes them up and spins them around to 'wash away the [bad feeling]' to make them giggle. Ye-seol asks for this the most. 3)Sometimes he'll just pick them up, walk a litle distance away, and put them down. If the twins are having a tantrum together, then picking up one of them and doing this usually works. 4)sitting down next to them and talking through their tantrum like he's in some kind of work meeting with them. Again, a strategy that works by confusing the kids at first. Then, as they become old enough to be able to talk about their feelings a little more (tho obvs still young enough to tantrum), they end up being able to have actual conversations, and this is what helps them calm down. Which also actually ends up helping their emotional intelligence in the long run. When they're older and past the tantrum stage, Hae-young and Hae-min continue the trend of having long heart-to-hearts with their dad as an extension of this (the daughters also talk to their parents, its just that the boys do it as a particlar Thing if that makes sense).

Hee-joo likes to walk to places with her kids, or just take them on nice walks to nowhere in particular. She absolutely does not like driving them, and so it is either Sa-eon or someone else in their close circle who drives the kids to things when necessary.

I also like to imagine they're a pretty outdoorsy family in general. They walk, they go to the park regularly, they walk the dog, they sometimes go camping etc etc. When the kids are a bit older, Sa-eon will try taking them on hikes. Only Ye-seol likes going on the really long hikes.

Hee-joo always tells her kids she loves them, whether in speech or in sign language. Though Sa-eon makes most of their school lunches, she packs them and leaves them cute little notes in their lunches. She also sings them lullabies most nights, especially when she has been worried about them. Though, when the kids are older, that's more she sings the lullabies in the general vicinity at bedtime rather than like, going into their rooms to rock them. Unless, of course, for some reason or another they do ask. She will make them lullaby recordings to take with them to overnights or (when they're old enough) to uni or whatever. Hae-young listens to his the most, quite openly, while Ye-seol also listens to hers the most, but secretly. The others don't listen to theirs just as much, but they keep their recordings carefully and do dig them out from time to time

Hee-joo cries on each kids' first days of school (not just first day of school overall, but also first day of middle school, high school, uni etc), and takes SO MANY pictures. She is the same with their graduations. Sa-eon puts on a stoic face, but is just as soppy once they've sent their kids through the school gates.

Hee-joo is the one who teaches the kids how to ride bikes and use skipping ropes and how to do the activities they do in sports days. Sa-eon tries, but he is so competitively hopeless about it, she has to take over. When they are little, the two girls LOVE going to the park to play games with Hee-joo.

When it comes to school stuff, on the surface Sa-eon seems harsh. It can seem he is nagging them a lot about studying, and that he's got high standards. However, when it comes down to it, he's not demanding perfection from them, but simply that they are trying. He won't dismiss a kid as stupid just because they don't 'get' something and woe betide anyone who tries to tell him his kids are stupid or not good enough. He will pull out all the stops to help them, and if he knows they tried hard, even if they get bad grades he won't be angry at them. (He definitely also regularly tells them that underestimating themselves is a bad habit)

Both parents trie to go to as many of the kids school events as they possibly can. Sa-eon collects their certificates, and displays them in his office. Not just the typical academic ones , but any achievement. Hae-young's certificates for 'being a caring classmate in elementary school have just as much importances as Ye-rin's prestigious maths comeptition cerficiates for the same age, for example.

Sometimes, if one of the kids is getting bogged down with studying quietly in their bedroom, he has them out in the kitchen while he is cooking, so he can be on hand to help. Indeed, in elementary school, all the kids do the majority of their homework in the kitchen under his supervision. Ye-seol is the one who, as she gets older, prefers studying in the kitchen the most.

Hee-joo has the same general 'try your best' mentality but she's more relaxed about it, and just fusses over them in general. She will absolutely tell them off for squeezing the toothpaste from the wrong part of the tube though.

Though all the kids know if they need help, their parents will always be there, they are not spoiled. Though they have priveliges associated with money, they are raised to know not to take it for granted and to appreciate it. They are expected to find their own path in life and be able to provide for themselves rather than solely relying on money/connections. It doesn't have to be a 'typical' path that standard parents might expect, as long as it doesn't break laws or harm anybody, but they do have to try to build their lives as adults. Sa-eon is very insistent about this in particular

Their birthday parties will never be ostenatious, over-the-top affairs for this very reason. However, both parents will find a way of making each child's birthday special, personalised to what the kid likes. With the twins, they will make sure each twin is honoured individually somehow, even if the actually birthday party itself is a shared one

Sa-eon teaches all the kids to cook. Of them all, Hae-min is the best at cooking, and Ye-rin the worst. But when they are old enough, they have a rotating schedule where, every so often, the kids do the cooking.

In-ah is absolutely the fun aunt. She regularly babysits so that Hee-joo and Sa-eon can have date nights or whatever, and she likes to take them to fun places and indulge them with treats. Ye-seol's fashion sense is eventually influenced by In-ah. She also regularly gloats to the kids that she's the reason their parents got married...though she at least waits until they're closer to adulthood to tell them more of the story. Alternative babysitters are Sang-woo and Yu-ri.

Now, a bit more about the kids themselves. Hae-young, as the eldest, is definitely a bit of a caretaker. But because he's also so soft-hearted and cuddly, that becomes a big part of his life. He is that one person that EVERYONE in his school knows, even in other year groups, and he always looks out for the new and younger kids. He is also the one who keeps trying to sneak in animals into the house to look after them. He eventually decides to go into childcare, and becomes an assistant manager for a successful pre-school. He makes friends wherever he goes, even if he only goes there once.

Hae-min inherits his dad's precision and brisk manner, and can be a little tactiurn. He does brilliantly in his academics, and goes on to a top medical school to become a neurosurgeon at a top hospital. He cooks a lot in his freetime as an adult, and when he visits his siblings or parents he is always bringing food.

Ye-rin has her mother's fiery side. She can and will start an argument at a drop of a hat, but also believes in justice/fairness. Her parents often have to be called into school because she's tried to beat up or intimidate a bully. She is also the top scorer in almost all subjects (only ever sometimes being beaten by her twin) all throughout her school life. She either goes into politics like her dad or becomes a high-powered lawyer.

Ye-seol is a bit of a daydreamer, and has wide ranging interests, being both the sporty type and the super girly-girl type. She ends up getting an ordinary office-type job, but engages in a wide range of hobbies. She also saves up to travel every so often, and goes to a wide range of countries. Sometimes accquaintances try to imply that she isn't as 'special' as her older siblings because she comes across as the most 'average' of them, but that gets shut down very quickly.

Could you do a headcanon about Vash being the father of twins?

Me, reading this prompt for the first time: Aww, how cute, Vash as a dad! Me, reading this prompt a second time, really honing in on the "twins" part: Oh. Vash as a dad to twins... Okay. Fuck yes. Love where your head's at.

Vash the Stampede as a Father to Twins

TW/CWs: A LOT of angst semi-balanced out with Vash shenanigans (Vashenanigans, if you would), no reader insert here, written with no particular version of Vash in mind so feel free to slot in your fave, mentions of children in danger with nothing explicit happening, barely proofread and I appreciate spellchecks!

A/N: This was the first ask I got while I was out on vacation in CO and getting hit upside the head with the angst potential of this while I was mid-latte-made-by-my-best-friend was an insane experience (in a good way!) Sorry if you were looking for something entirely lighthearted, I just could not let go of the potential of this once I saw it.

Likes and Reblogs appreciated, Requests are Open, and it’s all under the cut!

The dividers in this post were made by @/saradika ☆

So right off the bat, I'm not going to concern myself too much about the biological parentage of these hypothetical twins because in my heart of hearts I do not think Vash would care. Like it does not matter to him if these kids came from him, someone else, or the sands of Gunsmoke itself, he is going to love these kids to the stars and back.

I think he's a very hands-on parent to the point of being overbearing at times. He is a Wanted Outlaw whether he wants to be or not, and he knows that there are a lot of hardened people out there in the desert that would not think twice about shooting a kid, so he gets even more defensive than he normally does in his fighting. He probably picks up a couple more scars making sure his kids don't get a scratch on them.

As hands-on as he is, I think it goes without saying that Vash is incredibly gentle. His scoldings for fights and bad behavior are stern, but he never gets loud. He saves that for if his twins are in active danger, so they know immediately when they need to start running away or hiding.

Building off the gentleness, he really pushes for his twins to get along and watch out for each other, almost directly quoting Rem when he tells them to take care of one another. He doesn't talk about their Uncle Nai very often, but the kids aren't stupid. They know their dad misses his brother, and doesn't want his kids to know the heartbreak that comes with losing your best friend.

Phew, on a lighter note! When there's downtime I think Vash just goes full jungle gym if that's the way his kids want to play. He has one looped around his neck and the other hanging off his prosthetic like a monkey, all three of them laughing and smiling in the shade while they catch their breath. He tells them silly stories and they play dumb games and he is weak to his kids asking for sweets whenever they go places. More than once the three of them have eaten enough donuts to just be down for the count for a day or so, which just means they're all in a big pile in bed or in the shade just relaxing and waiting for the collective tummy hurt to pass.

I also think that after a while the three of 'em all laugh and smile the exact same. Like if you tell them a funny joke you get a literal harmonized choir of laughter and giggling as they lean against each other or fall into the sand. They're all cutie patooties, even if there's not much of a family resemblance between father and children.

And despite what I said earlier about Vash being a bit more ready to throw himself in harm's way to protect his kids, I think he actually starts to take better care of himself for them. Yes, he's spent the better part of a century and a half protecting people, but none of those people (save a very small handful) have ever really depended on him the way his twins have. If he goes, there will be no one to protect them, especially if he dies out in the desert, far away from any towns or settlements. So he eats more, drinks more water, and actually starts to carry more medical supplies with him than he usually did (he even gets some cute character bandages for the little cuts and scratches.)

The night he first met his children, he swore a vow to himself and to them that he would live to see them reach the future. No matter what. And I think that means when the kids are older--say, mid-teens at the youngest--Vash starts to like... gently suggest they stay in the different towns they pass through. It becomes part of the routine of stopping somewhere: They find an inn, they get some food, Vash tries to sell his kids on staying in the nice, warm inn for a bit while he goes on, and they stay for a while until something happens and they're forced to move on.

It's not that he doesn't love these kids--he loves them more than he thought he could love anyone--but he can't... imagine them thriving in the life he's living, wandering aimlessly across the desert looking for some non-existent paradise that doesn't know Vash's face just so the three of them can have some peace and quiet. His children's lives, finite as they might be (depending on where you think these kids came from) are worth their weight in gold to Vash. It makes him understand why Rem stayed behind on the SEEDS ship to give him and Nai a chance, and it breaks him into a thousand pieces every time he thinks about it. If a life without him means they have a chance at something safe and normal, then it's a price Vash is more than willing to pay.

oh sorry I didn't know

if so, could it be a cross and a nightmare as parents?

I don't know if you mean them as parents together or not, but I'm gonna just go for it lol

Cross-

He's the way too protective type. He dislikes not knowing where his child is like all the time.

Does better raising a boy than a girl most likely, but is a pretty good parent either way.

Asks way too many questions. Mostly where they were and what they've been doing.

He just worries that they're going to get hurt and is showing it by being way too protective of them.

Doesn't trust any of their friends at first and is always asking way too many questions.

Lies don't go by him. If his child lies to him about anything he's gonna know what it is that they're lying about, and he isn't gonna be happy about it >:(

Has no idea what to do if they go through a goth phase.

Nightmare-

He isn't a very good parent. At least, not at first.

He doesn't understand how babies work and he will try to push them to walk after like just a few weeks of being born. ("I was able to walk and talk after JUST being born!")

He'll be the type to make stuff up to get the child to listen to him.

Doesn't take rule breaking and will ground the child.

Is the best to talk to when upset though! If his babybones is getting bullied someone's getting their legs broken.

Crossmare-

Together they might not be the best at taking care of the child. Cross is too hands on while Nightmare is too... Hands off.

They'll learn together. Cross is most likely the mom.

Cross is the one that remembers to feed the kid, mostly cause he also needs to eat but sometimes he might forget on accident.

Parenting Headcanons- Getting Dirty because of Kiddo

Umino Iruka

Most likely to take a marker across the face because he was goofing around with his kid and forgot they were holding it.

Has walked into class with a giant marker streak across his face and been very confused about why his students are laughing their butts off at him

Starts carrying wipes everywhere with him in case of emergency

Always finished playing and laughing before going to lean ridiculous amounts of marker off of his face

Screams only if said marker hits a vulnerable spot like his eye, or the one time it somehow got into his ear.

Yamato

Does not like getting dirty

Easy to fluster with dirt and crayon’s. Will spend time each day cleaning up only to have it ruined five seconds later

As much as he tried not to let it show how annoyed he is, he is very annoyed. Will very to Asuma about it over drinks at least once a month.

If there’s such a thing as ‘mess free markers’ he is buying them. No he will not be judged about it, leave him alone

Hatake Kakashi

Cleans his home every night after kiddo goes to bed

Finds the mess annoying but refuses to yell or get upset about it. Kiddo will just find everything sorted and cleaned when they wake up in the morning.

Probably the cause of his kiddo being a little too fond of cleaning, but refuses to see it as a problem.

Does not do well with getting dirty. Which is hilarious because if he’s playing with the hounds he will come out of the mud dripping head to toe, but anything else is a no go.

Always carries at least three sets if spare clothes in case kiddo gets marker or food on their clothes

Maito Gai

Does not care much about dirt or grime.

Will walk around the village covered in marker because kiddo wanted to draw on him (with skin safe marker) and he wasn’t going to say no

Never has a spare change of clothes and has often asked Kakashi for some because kiddo got a little too dirty and absolutely needed a change.

Regardless of all of this, he is the one prepared with a hose incase Kakashi summons the hounds to play with Gai’s kiddo. He knows how this will end and all of that mud is not going into his home.

Shizune

Tries to be chill but very stern about things being organized.

The walls will have marker on it but the markers will be put away perfectly into a nice little container

Cleans the walls once a week (if she has time)

Always has a stack of blank papers for kiddo to write and draw on because they want to ‘help’ her with her paperwork.

Has handed in kiddo’s drawing to the Hokage by accident and never lived it down. Tsunade teases her but if she’s careful and avoids giving Kakashi any kiddo drawings he gives her those sad puppy dog eyes and asks where his daily dose of happiness is. It’s rude and she hates how adorable she thinks it is that he likes her kids drawings.

Will not go into work or outside the home covered in marker, but her home is most definitely covered in marker

So, my mind has sort of shifted back to the nearly three year fixation on our dear villainous husbands.

I adore these two and have wrote an admittedly poorly written fic about the topic I’m about to discuss. It’s been deleted since because I get embarrassed easy by works I’ve written in the past.

But, here’s some headcanons of mine about Oz and Ed being parents, and well headcanons about their child in general:

They have a young daughter, she isn’t quite old enough to be in school yet, but her mind is as sharp as a tac

She’s a perfect mix of the two of them. Green eyes, cherubic face, and a head of untamable black curls

She picks up things very quickly, and Ed was over the moon when she passed a few milestones earlier than most

She makes the exact same icy glare that Oswald does when someone upsets her, and it often sends Ed into laughing fits every time she does it. Oz still doesn’t think he makes the face, and was thoroughly confused when Ed pointed it out

Oswald sings beautifully if it’s at his proper vocal range, so lullabies are a delight to hear

Storytelling too

Oswald has had to tie his hair back for most of her early life because she very much liked to pull on it

Back to the glare, she often copies both of their mannerisms

They’re villains, they dress flamboyantly and plot to kill a man dressed as a bat. Of course they’d be just as theatric when it comes to playing games

She may be spoiled, but she isn’t poorly behaved

The child likely has more extravagant clothes than the typical Gothamite, and she certainly has some matching outfits

This:

Wintertime is a treasure trove of new traditions, and comfortable domesticity, and yes I’ll admit it’s one of my favorite things to write about

She very easily befriends animals, and seems to be a bit fixated on the more dangerous ones

In addition to that, like most young children, she’s rather clumsy

A little bit of story time in relation to this: When I was around say…kindergarten age, I had taken a karate class. This class only lasted a few days. I was a very impatient child, you see. The class was getting ready to do an exercise where you just kinda kick this standing punching bag thing.

Long story short, I had begun kicking the legs out from under the other kids in front of me because I had simply chosen violence that day. I had to be removed from the class, joined a ballet class a few weeks later, and quit after I fell and “cracked my head open” (it was just a small cut) on a wall vent handle.

I’ve given a glimpse into my memories, so I think I’m done rambling for now. If you’d like to hear more of my thoughts, I’d be happy to provide.

Things Bruce Wayne does at Justice League meetings that 100% confirm the fact that he is a Dad.

Makes attempts at referencing pop culture to try and relate to the younger members. The most memorable instance is when he told Flash to “keep running up that hill.” (Dick laughs for an hour when Wally tells him about it.)

Does the iconic groan/grunt whenever he sits down in his chair. It’s hilarious, but no one is dumb enough to laugh at the Batman.

Ensures that the background music exclusively plays Matchbox 20 and Nirvana. Diana is the only one who enjoys this.

Actively complain about how everyone is “ruining his floor” whenever they push back their chairs.

On that note, he also complains about crumbs getting everywhere whenever someone is snacking.

Will (covertly) ask Clark for grilling tips during breaks. Oliver overhears this once and has to go lay down out of shock, because Batman? Grilling?

Declines requests for new equipment/tools/etc. because they “have that at the Watchtower.” This inevitably leads to complaining from the entire JL.

Always, without fail, will ask Hal if he’s changed the oil in the spacecraft recently. Hal doesn’t know whether to be offended or not.

Randomly interrogates members on if they’ve messed with the Hall of Justice’s thermostat. They have not, in fact, touched the thermostat.

Someone needs to stop me because I literally cannot get the image of Bruce being the Typical Dad (tm) of the Justice League.

eventual Mama's boy

[purble-sarah]

hey im back from the dead and here's Jason and I'll be active again and drawing again cuz im back yeah (sry for the unexpected hiatus)

[stringsbasement]

only timmy is highlighted since he's the focus; of course, peri is their child as well. i don't believe they'd love either one more or over the other

it's my headcanon that wanda thought of timmy first when hearing those words, just as one would automatically think of their children in a certain order. in this case, oldest to youngest. when she says "we don't know," she's talking about both of them

it's clear cosmo and wanda cherished all of their godchildren, but i'm biased to think timmy was the first one that actually felt like theirs. he's practically their "firstborn," with how peri was raised alongside him since birth until they could no longer be together

not to mention how timmy was the reason peri was born in the first place

deep down, they all know their family can never be truly complete without him

I am loudly pushing the batdad agenda i am loudly pushing the— DPxDC Prompt

“Woah. You look like shit."

Granted, that’s probably not the first thing Danny should be saying to the guy that just bit the curb, but in his defense; he’s not running on 100% right now either.

The man -- tall, towering, and broader than Danny is tall -- whips around on his heel, black frayed cape flaring out impressively. Danny would've whistled in appreciation, but he takes the time instead to wipe the back of his hand across his mouth, smearing the blood running from his nose across his cheek.

"Sorry." He blinks widely, not even flinching as the man with the horns zeroes in on him. "That was rude of me. I have a really bad brain-to-mouth filter; Sam says its what always gets me into trouble."

And she's not wrong either, per say. His smart mouth is what landed him in this situation -- with blood blossom extract running through his veins and cannibalizing the ectoplasm in his bloodstream. Thanks Vlad.

The man grunts at him; a short, curt "hm" that shouldn't make Danny smile, but he does because he's somewhat delirious and probably concussed. The man keeps some kind of distance, sinking towards the shadows of Gotham's alleyway like he dares to melt right into it.

If it's supposed to scare Danny, it doesn't work. Danny's never been afraid of the dark; he's always been able to hide himself in it. He blinks slowly at the mass of shadows.

"You look hurt." The shadows says, blurring together around the edges. Danny squints, and licks his lips to get the blood dripping down his chin off. Ugh, he hates the taste of blood.

"I am." He says, "My godfather poisoned me. M'dying." The agony of the blood blossom eating him from the inside out looped back around to numbing a while ago, so all he feels is half-awake and dazed.

"Hey," Danny stumbles forward towards the man, a bloodied hand reaching out to him. "You-- you're a hero, right? You're not attacking me; which is more than I can say for most costumed people I've met." Maybe it's a poor bar to judge someone at, but he's already established that Danny's not in his right mind.

The man makes no change in expression, but Danny realizes blearily that it's hard to tell with the shadows on his face. He stays still long enough for Danny to latch onto the cape -- stretchy, but almost soft under his fingers.

He looks up blearily into the whites of the man's eyes. "Can you help me? I don't-- I don't wanna die." Again. He doesn't wanna die again. He blinks slow and lizard-like. "I mean- I'll probably get to see mom and dad again, but I told them I'd at least try and make it to adulthood."

There's a clatter down the street, and Danny's ghost sense chills up his spine and leaves a bitter, ashy taste in his mouth. He immediately knows who it belongs to even before the deceptively gentle; "Daniel?" echoes down the way.

"Daniel? Quit your games, badger, Gotham is dangerous for children."

Danny's mouth pulls back, and blood spills against his tongue. "Please." He rasps, and grabs onto the shadow's cape with both hands. "Please. He's going to kill me. Please--"

"Daniel? Is that you?"

His lips part, dragging in air to plead with the darkness again. He doesn't need to, the whites of his eyes narrow, and the cape whirls around him before Danny can blink. Soon swaddled in shadows, the Night lifts him up, and steals him away.

Okay, so I obviously want Hee-joo and Sa-eon to actually start communicating properly, and be able to get properly closer, and be able to actually be honest and open with the world about being married. And work through their various issues and all that. But. But also.

After seeing just how horrific both their parents are, what I think would be nice is, after working on themselves and their own relationship, they became parents. But specifically, better parents than either of theirs ever were. Parents who consider their kids irreplacable. Parents who actually love their kids, and who do so unconditionally, no matter what 'differences' they may have, whether that's an actual disability or condition like Hee-joo* or whether it's just something like the kid's perhaps not conventionally attractive, or isn't as academically talented, or is a little shy, or has unusual interests. Whatever.

I want them to be the kind of parents who won't see their kids as 'defective' for being themselves, and who would make sure to tell them that they are fine as they are. And defend them from the people who do see them as less-than, too, obviously. And also just be openly warm and affectionate and just show that unconditional love to them, so that the kids can be open with them, too.

I mean, I don't think they'd be perfect parents, or find it easy. Sa-eon would definitely be the very strict parent in my mind, and Hee-joo I could see as being over protective and anxious over her kids' safety. But Sa-eon would also not demand perfection, only that the kids work hard at what they do. If they struggle, he'd make it clear that he would do anything and everything he can to help them, and though it'd be layered over with his brusque manner, he'd be patient with them while helping. And Hee-joo would always have words of comfort for them (whether signed or spoken, bc she'd 100% teach them sign language), be very cuddly with them, find ways of making the mundane magical with them. They'd both actually be the kind of parent to apologise to their kids when they mess up with them. They would not favour one kid over another, to the detriment of the other(s)** for any reason. They'd actually spend quality time together.

But, yeah. based on the episodes so far, I do think it would be a good progression for them and their relationship. They weren't lucky enough to have that kind of parents, so perhaps they'll be able to make up for it by becoming them, instead. In any case, these are my headcanons about that particular fantasy as it stands, so far.

*I'd argue that even if the truth behind her mutism is different to what the world thinks it is, that it's not entirely accurate to say she "isn't actually" selectively mute but that's a ramble for a different post

** I'm imagining four kids at the mo (two boys, two girls, possibly including a set of twins). I may or may not think about coming up with names and stuff for them at some point. We shall see.

headcanon that percy and annabeth have a relationship contract they made after they got together once the war came to pass. they outlined it on paper in percy's bedroom. typed up a final draft using sally's laptop. and printed out and laminated it at the local library on their two month anniversary. and they abide by it like it's the law.

percabeth daughter, to her friend: so this is my house. make yourself at home. luckily my older brothers aren’t home, so it’s actually peaceful for once

friend: that’s goo- oh my god! there are two people in your backyard trying to kill each other!

percabeth daughter: huh? oh, no those are my parents. they’re just sparring, don’t worry

friend: sparring? with… a giant knife and… a sword?

percabeth daughter: well they practice hand to hand combat too, but weapons practice is important

friend:

percabeth daughter: come on! let me show you my room

friend: alr- oh my god, is that a horse in your brother’s room?

percabeth daughter, rolling her eyes: ugh mom and dad told him to keep his window closed!

friend: wait, horses just… come into your house? through the second story window?

percabeth daughter: crazy right? they don’t even ask first. like, at least have some manners!

Tim: Bruce:

Tim: Please don't ask.

Bruce: Why are you breaking into my house with a broken arm. Tim: I don't want to talk about it.

Bruce: Why not go to your parents? Tim: ....I don't wanna go home right now. Bruce: *scoops him up* ….come on, little one.

Jason who also broke in: *Sees Bruce with Tim* Holy Gotham what happened to the Replacement.

Bruce: He won't tell me :(

The rest of the Batkids: *summoned*

I know for a fact that, at some point a couple years after Dick moved to Blüdhaven, he came back to work a case with Bruce and at some point they needed to get into some party or something and Bruce of course is about to pull out the Brucie persona to sleaze by the security, but before he can Dick turns into Richie Grayson <<3 and hits on the bouncers until they're way too flustered not to let them in and Bruce is SHOCKED and pulls him aside and is like "DICK WTF YOU CAN'T DO THAT YOU'RE A MINOR" and Dick just stares at him like. "Dad I'm 24." And Bruce has a mental breakdown because his BABY BOY should NOT know what those words mean
