Simple JOY in the kitchen.

Don't worry, Wade. Your boyfriend loves it regardless of how much he feigns not to.

Time's flying so fast

[oshidorifuufu]

why am i always so giving

i drive myself crazy considering others thoughts and feelings, how they feel and what they think of me

i have extreme emotions that arent understood by people so i try to understand others emotions as if they were as extreme as mine in case they feel downplayed too, and i word any advice i give around that

i try to word what i say or use tone tags correctly as to not offend people or make them upset, i type happily to please others even when im too emotionally exhausted to

i try to hide things and not be too pessimistic so i dont creep people out, so i dont concern them…

in theory i should be a kind person, so why does it feel like nobody ever gives the same effort back?

i just cant stop the people pleasing

wait idk anything about the tevis’— why would tommy tevis call dick his son? would you be willing to give a quick rundown

After Dick failed to get himself incarcerated, he became an enforcer for a mob boss named Tommy Tevis. Tommy took Dick in and made him part of his family. Tommy considered him an honorary son and thought very highly of him.

Nightwing (Vol. 2) #107

He even told Dick that everything he had (his home, his reputation, his family, etc.) was Dick's as well. Lynette, Tommy's wife, told Dick that Tommy would let Dick do anything. The whole family loved Dick, including Tommy's 15 year old daughter, Sophia. Sophia actually had a crush on Dick, but Dick acted like an older brother to her, helping her with her homework and such.

While Dick was away from the family for a few days, the cops busted into the Tevis's home. Lynette got killed in the gunfire, Tommy got taken to jail, and Sophia got taken in by the state.

Dick, while mentoring Rose, broke Sophia out of the state home. He got Sophia to help him with the mob. Then, when Chemo fell on Bludhaven, Dick saved Sophia and left her with Amy. When they reunited at the hospital, Dick asked Sophia to leave the mob behind and join a boarding school.

So, yeah, that's Dick's relationship with the Tevis family.
