#and he's a really strict parent

[dustbon]

Ah, yes. Bonding. This is fine.

Thinking about Tula apologizing to Lila. Thinking about it a lot. It was thorough, it was sincere, and Tula changed how she talked about the subject afterward. Most depictions of child care are bad partially because the writers don't know how child care actually works, and the writers who get it are so few and have so limited time, their depictions of good child care are therefore often overpolished. This is the grace given by long-form storytelling by people who really care. Seeing a mother who's really trying and treats her kids like people still fully, objectively fuck up. Then apologize.

I never saw that represented in any media as a kid. I wonder what it would have been like if I had. Or better yet if my parents had.

we know that alfred is insane over gil, but is gil insane over anyone? it doesnt have to be the degree of insane alfred is

Gil is insane overall so it’s very hard to spot a difference when he’s being more so but I like to think, as all unhealthy sibling relationships go in this series - that he’s obsessed with Ludwig. Not to the extent that Ludwig is fixated on him but he’s very much an overbearing helicopter parent in his own trying to make it seem like I don’t give a shit way. He’s calmed down sooo much in modern times but I Know that boy was going through like no less than 20 lessons a day when he was born

potentially batshit headcanon, but i think it'd be funny if these two were related somehow.

I firmly believe in genderqueer!Ace solely because there is no way this feral jungle child understands gender in any way but women are in charge (Dadan and Makino) and men are awful (Garp, Sabo’s dad, Ace’s dad and Bluejam)

All the Eds have issues in their home lives, but there is something about Edd’s family situation that I just find endlessly fascinating. Just really delving into the complicated baggage surrounding it, and how uniquely fucked up it is.

The fact that there is so much distance and lack of communication between Edd and his parents really brings up a lot of questions about WHAT their actual interactions are even like. I mean, while they are largely absent (even for a show whose whole premise does not include parents being visible), it is implied that they, or at least one of them comes home. Do they even talk to their son when they are there?

I think the thing that really gets me is that, while yes they do supply for their son’s physical needs: a comfortable home, food, etc. the emotional needs are completely neglected. Which speaks to a super specific, entitled suburban kind of disinterest that I find uniquely cruel.

Would Leumin independently support mc(Idk if I refer to the player as Y/N, MC or just 'player') like in gender, sexuality, political position, style, neurodivergencies? things like this

(You can use either or! Maybe "Y/N" would work better in this context tho) But of course!! Leu is a very attentive and understanding lover, he'd support his beloved through their endeavors and offer assistance where he could ^^ He's... Very down bad LOL

[vi-visected]

nobody understands leon like i do

[takealookintheback]

just want to see the boys fuck up so bad that Goodween loses his shit (at this point they’re not even bothered anymore by Cotta’s screaming when he scolds them).

[yu-ziyuan]

i love you jiang yanli shes like an oc to me. she got fridged in the book so now i get to say anything i want about her and no one can prove me wrong because she barely gets any agency in canon so we dont know WHAT shed do given the chance

[astrxealis]

sorry to ffxivlovepost always anyway Man the way the devs & game did so good in making an mc that is Basically a blank-slate for the players, and there's so many opportunities to make your oc However you like but. the game itself adds so much story and character to that blank-slate guy. amazing

bestie is coming home on 1st im having thoughts

[raininyourblackeyes]

omg i have an ask that says "what's your favourite ancient civilization?" that i'm so anxious to answer actually because i don't think i'm qualified to have one...? like i did want to study archaeology but my plan was to catch up to fun stuff and detailed facts in uni once i was away from my family because that was an easier way to live since my dad only valued mathematics and physics as something i should've been spending my time on. so like to avoid being called stupid and useless and disappointment to him more than was necessary, my knowledge of history in general was restricted to basic stuff we learned in school and when i started uni i deleted most of that stuff from my memory because well turns out i won't need that and it's easier not to think of an alternate universe where the pandemic didn't happen and i got out, instead of remaining stuck with my family studying pharmacy... and even from the school stuff, we only focuesed on mesopotamia, persia, ancient egypt and then everything else was europe. so my knowledge of ancient civilizations beyong that is that they existed. i was planning to learn about as much suff as possible during that summer before starting university but that obviously didn't happen and now i feel so underqualified to actually answer that harmless little ask. like answering ancient egypt or ancient greece or ancient rome because i remember the most about them from school because we did study those the most sounds boring but i also literally would need to google english spelling and exact names for anything more fun that i remember. like my knowledge is that little. i shouldn't be getting this worked up over an ask lmao but i don't want to have this rant be an answer to it so i have to get it out before i eventually gather what little i remember and try to figure out an answer

Idk if I’m just incapable of writing straight characters or if the gods have just spoken through me but I’ve been writing one of my few straight girl characters and realizing more and more that this girl is gay af and it’s a problem cuz I’ve already got her whole arc planned out of the different guys she dates and her endgame guy and there’s really no room for a sensible gay awakening but I’m worried she might be a lesbian lmao

[thetimelordbatgirl]

Kinda weird as fuck how in Aliens of the Attic, instead of being concerned his son is getting beat up by bullies for being smart to the point the son flunks on purpose to avoid the beatings, the dad just goes, "I was a brainiac, didn't bother me." Like sir, did you not hear the part about your kid getting beat up or

[moinsbienquekaworu]

If there's a thing I'm happy about it's that I'm an eldest daughter but not an Eldest Daughter. I had reasonable good parents and therefore I have never had to do any parenting. Thank you mom and dad
