#and a cool mom

[ask-but-beware-the-consequences]

Mtl requiem showed us the fact that even after Magnus's attack, and Nathan hitting the shit out of him, then Magnus eventually getting fired, Pickles was set in the scene as the leader. Not the lead vocalist, the drummer. And I am absolutely feral about it. We could really see his brutal, death metal, dethklok side, and the fact that he was the one who became the mother is just the cherry on top.

Nathan is working on his "modern day" muscle mass, Murderface is working on himself to look more menacing, and Pickles here absolutely controls the band. He's the one to tell (the viewers and) Skwisgaar that they need another guitarist. Except if he can compete against everyone. He's making sure that nobody can ever defeat them after "losing" Magnus. And the plus about it is that noone seems to have a problem with it. They are letting him to do all this.

If I'd write down all the symbolism that I can see into this with their family-titles, then I'd never end this post and it would possibly turn into an au fic, but hot damn... Pickles is a power mom. (Not just that, he's the cool mom who you can find pictures of being in a band (snb), looking like a heartstopper).

And this is the same mf who's holding a cat like it's a baby, and lets them play with his hair. Because he's also a loving mom. MMMMMM

With the holidays coming up this is everyone’s reminder to

Ask little kids if they’d like a hug first

If they say no, verbally affirm the reasonable shit you just heard. “You said you wouldn’t like a hug. We won’t hug.”

You don’t even have to redirect with a high five, even though that’s fine. Touching isn’t for everyone.

Do not say upsetting things like “where is my hug?” Clown, you don’t own hugs.

It is fine to model consent by placing boundaries on touch. “Let’s wash your hands before we cuddle.” “I’m leaving this couch if you continue to yeet your foot into my pregnant belly.” “that was fun but I’m going to take a break now.”

Touchy children are not inherently sweeter. Love languages exist at any age.

Some kids like touch but not eye contact. A hug from behind is a good one or “let’s close our eyes and squeeze really tight. Ready?”

I’m dead f*ing serious there are people who want your physical affection so badly but need you to modify your approach. Just like there are people who want to get into buildings but need ramps.

Don’t comment if a kid shows affection to another adult but not you. They’re weird like that but you don’t have to make it weirder.

They're such wildly different examples of what an emotionally tired person looks like

🐘 Nothing quite compares like the bond between a mother and her child. Related African elephant (Loxodonta africana) females and their young live in tight-knit families led by a matriarch. This older, female leader helps the group survive by sharing her hard-earned wisdom, like remembering the locations of  watering holes in times of drought. 

Elephant family groups grow very attached. Mothers are extremely protective of their calves, and younger females act as attentive “babysitters.” These giants show their affection through touch, especially with their trunks, as well as through gesture and sound. Individual elephants remember their feelings for one another even when separated for years. Learn more about these incredible animals in the Museum’s exhibition The Secret World of Elephants.

[chocostrwberry]

Some Luka appreciation!! I updated his design and I really like this one so I’m practicing it

[intriga-hounds]

it will never get old to me how much ponzu enjoys motherhood. 🥹 i have never met a dam who wasn’t at least a little over it by now. she just adores them so much.

today she chose babies over going in her crate for dinner. she hadn’t played with them all day bc i was at work, so she wouldn’t even hear of being put away when she knew i was about to let them out. they’re so cute together. 🥰

Echo during his time with the 501st: doing body shots, dancing on tables, blowing things up in the barracks with Fives, creating chaos with Fives, doing keg stands, complaining about them leaving the club “too early” even though it’s four in the morning, being the reason that new rules were added to the reg manuals, generally being an absolute terror

Echo during most of his time with the Bad Batch: tucking kids in, telling bedtime stories, always carrying healthy snacks, in bed by nine, putting people in time-out, telling “kids” to behave, tending to sick “kids”, being the only one to put their foot down and shut down any shenanigans, generally being a mom and an absolute angel (of course this is when he isn’t being the absolute badass that he is and always had been since let’s not forget that he’s an ARC Trooper)
