#do NOT let this kid in the kitchen

[beedlemania]

I’m just imagining baby Davy being around Micky trying to cook. He’d want to help so bad, but he’d also end up shoving his face in the flour and start having a sneezing fit 😆

Oh he’d be terrible in the kitchen!

He’d constantly get under Micky and just be in the way. Micky would be carrying a hot pot and he’d have to navigate around the little menace in his way. Whenever he’d want to move something he’d make Davy sit down just in case. Davy would also NOT be allowed to cut/chop anything in case he gets distracted and hurts himself.

Micky would measure out everything and set it up in order so that Davy could do it and not add too much or too little of anything and he’d feel all accomplished. Davy wouldnt want to mix anything with his hands if it was sticky because it would overstimulate him and he’d get frustrated. But if there’s something he’s not supposed to mix with his hands, he’d jump in there. Half of the time spent cooking is Micky helping Davy to wash his hands because he keeps wanting to feel stuff and cross contaminating. Davy also likes to ignore Micky a lot so Micky will ask wants next in the recipe and Davy just wont answer.

Sometimes Micky will give him small amounts of his own ingredients to make his own creation with and poor Mike is the victim who has to try it and say it tastes good no matter what. It also keeps Davy occupied and out of Micky’s way.

Davy’s the type that when they’re baking, half the dough/chocolate chips are gone before it makes it to the oven and Micky’s like “?? Who ate the batter??” And Davy’s standing there with his face/mouth covered being like “wasnt me”. He also has no patience for stuff to cool so he always without fail burns his mouth. Micky warns him every time but he never listens.

Davy also always manages to make the biggest mess possible but he himself ends up clean. So whenever he hears Mike coming he runs away and sits on the couch and listens to Mike scolding Micky for the mess in the kitchen (Mike knows it was Davy but it makes Davy giggle when he scolds Micky so he does it anyway. Micky is also in on this so he just takes it).

they tried to rebrand as The Criminals but riz is literally the city council's treasurer and also turns out people in their late 20s don't really name their friend groups. so now they're The Intrepid Heroes

the bittersweet but absolute flood of relief that comes from admitting defeat at living independently, to have to move back in with parents. we tried! we gave it our best shot for almost 3 years! but living like this (being on our own) is just not possible for us at this time of our lives. we've finally proved it to ourselves that we can't do it. it'll be okay to let ourselves rest now

My mini contribution to @echoes-lighthouse's Evil Slasher Orphanage! My wife Anna and I are here to help, and brought a few more kids of our own.

I really thought I was a horror fan until I sat down to draw this and came up blank. I guess I'm not a slasher guy, because a LOT more Monsters and Beasts came to mind, so it took a while to form a list. Though I did include Sam who is certainly a Creeture but.. They're human enough.

me livestreaming the ohio senate in the minutes leading up to a vote that will determine whether or not gender affirming care is outright banned for minors: this is the bad place

"It also prevents doctors from prescribing hormones, puberty blockers or gender reassignment surgery before patients turn 18" per the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Do you really think Jonathan thought that being like Lonnie would help Will? I don't think he'd ever want to be like Lonnie or think he should be like Lonnie.

i don't think that he wants to be like lonnie either. i think he despises lonnie and everything he stands for, and that being anything like that POS is his worst nightmare scenario. i am just saying that a younger jonathan might have believed that keeping his father's focus on him by being the son that lonnie wanted him to be would have kept his attention away from will so that maybe will wouldn't be subjected to the same horrors that jonathan was in his childhood.

that being said, he is canonically scared of becoming like lonnie and he thinks that it's something that is going to happen to him, sooner or later, no matter what he does which is why he pushes the people in his life away from him. he doesn't want nancy around him in the future because he thinks he's destined to be a shitty husband and father — remember, in his mind, he believes he's failed will over and over again. he doesn't see all of the ways that he's made will feel loved, he just sees the ways that he couldn't protect his brother.

so i think it's a possibility that jonathan could have looked at what will was going through in s4 and could have had a split-second thought of, hey, well, if i'm going to turn out like him anyway, why couldn't it have happened earlier so that you could have been left alone, and so he wouldn't have made you feel as horrible as you do right now? i don't think that's too farfetched of an idea.

the important thing, though, is that he pushes that away. he realizes that nothing in the past can be changed, and that the only thing he can do is break free of that cycle and be there for will now. he figures out that maybe he can't fix will's problems, and he's not going to be some magic cure-all no matter what he does, but he can help will through it just by being there for him and letting him know how loved he is. and that worrying about whatever may happen to him in the future isn't nearly as important as caring about his brother now.

If you’re making a video about tradwives, why is Nara Smith in the thumbnail? Is she an out and proud conservative who believes in the traditional definition of a Godly American marriage, thereby she is not a trad wife? No? Then, she is not a tradwife. Nara Smith is a thin, conventionally attractive woman who wears sophisticated outfits and has kids and cooks in her big fancy kitchen. She is not a tradwife, she is a professional, likely affluent model who runs the equivalent of an amateur TikTok cooking show. She is not attempting to manipulate you into becoming a submissive, dutiful housewife, she’s making money off of your engagement by maintaining a brand. She is polished and prim, not because she’s trying to portray some sort of natural ease in being a traditional mother, but because she doesn’t want to be clowned for a distracting dirty kitchen. She wears fancy clothes because she’s a model, who gets paid to wear fancy clothes, probably IN the videos. She has three kids because she wants three kids, or however many she has. She’s not perpetuating an unreality, or playing into some deeply insidious narrative about what it means to truly be a woman and a wife and mother, YOU are just poor, and SHE has money, so your lives look different, therefore making her reality inherently different to yours, which isn’t her problem. She doesn’t have to preface every video with an apology or an assurance that you don’t have to go through all of the trouble she does, and she shouldn’t have to. She is a BRAND because she is a BUSINESS. Her work, her videos, make her money! Of course the things she does seem staged and sterile, she is staging and sterilizing her work space to maintain an image online. It’s not her fault you don’t understand branding, and it’s not her fault you failed to learn the message the past decade and the most immediate technological “advancements” have been teaching us: sometimes things online aren’t real. Next are you going to tell me that you think that everyone in every advertisement is genuinely that happy to be wearing/eating/drinking/driving/using the product being advertised?

The elements of Nara Smith’s public persona do not add up to traditionalism, they add up to hyperfemininity at most, and at the very least, a minuscule injection of traditionalism from a Mormon upbringing. Tradwifery isn’t when women wear fancy clothes and cook, it’s when women DON’T work outside the house as successful models who wear crop tops to show off their pregnant bellies. It’s when women follow a traditional, Godly plan for marriage, birth control and childrearing. It when a man works outside of the home as something that isn’t “model”, and his wife (who also isn’t a model) stays home to raise and homeschool 2+ children, and cook and clean and maybe tend to a garden and read her Bible by candlelight and shut her mouth. It’s a woman who is jobless, uneducated, diminished according to “God’s” will. The tradwife isn’t just some lady you don’t like, she’s molded physically and mentally by her upbringing and shaped by the hands of the men around her. She is quiet, she is private, she follows her husband like a lost puppy. The pillars her identity rests upon are repression, conservatism and religious femininity, the kind that makes you wear skirts that go below the knees, and tops with collars to the neck. The most modern tradwife MAYBE has social media, and every video, every post is meant to perpetuate the myth that she is happy and that other women will be at their happiest if they follow her lead. The most important part of “trad” wifery, is the TRAD part, which stands for TRADITION. Miu miu is not traditional. Exposed belly bumps are not traditional. These “commentary” videos like the one I’m referring to do half of the work of investigating the perils of femininity and hyperfemininity, and traditionalism and only succeed in confusing themselves even more because it’s more important to them to pretend to be a journalist than sit with and analyze what they’re saying. This is coming from someone who has a finely tuned radar for subtly anti-feminist propaganda. I can and will scrutinize every aspect of a performance of femininity. I will squint and roll my eyes at every makeup tutorial and GRWM. I will question shaving and waxing and high heels and skirts and bras and porn. One thing I WON’T do, is use a term I KNOW doesn’t fit to make money on a YouTube video.

If Nara Smith bothers you, she just bothers you. If her inaccessible cooking style bothers you, it just bothers you. If the way she dresses bothers you, it just bothers you. That’s it. It JUST bothers you. You’are allowed to feel bothered, and annoyed, so what’s the point of lying? Are your personal feelings so under attack that you have to resort to making up a reason? That you have to resort to making yourself look stupid to justify a half-assed thinkpiece about her? If you want to discuss her potential plagiarism from smaller creators, discuss that. If you want to discuss her kitchen safety, discuss that. Don’t insult me by making shit up, because I’m on the same internet you are! I can watch her videos too! I can take notes too! And I can easily see that your problem with her is the fact that you are simply tired of being advertised to. You’re tired of seeing rich people, and you’re tired of seeing pretty people. Who cares? Be tired of it proudly, but be tired of it and do your research? Quit using areas of feminist study as a personal kiddy pool and get real!!!!!!!!!!

My cat butted up against my hand and it reminded me of when my childhood cat was starting to go senile and my mom suggested we just have her put down because she doesn't really matter once she's lost it and that she never cared about me besides being a hand that provides food (even though I was the only person in the family she was comfortable around after she'd gone totally feral out of age-induced confusion). My mom never liked that cat, even though she was a really good cat. It's not her fault she got old and couldn't remember shit. To me, that's when she needed the most care. To my mom, she deserved to be locked in the basement for the last two years of her life. And, because my mom seldom let her out and I was both in college and working full time and could only release her for a few hours daily, the basement ended up being where she felt safe, and she would only leave if I picked her up and moved her out. Which is so sad. Imagine treating a dying animal that way.
