Aujourd'hui, je suis de garde de mon petit-fils de 2 ans. Comme ses parents travaillent très tôt le matin, il passe la nuit et la journée chez moi. Mon fils souhaitait que je sois la nounou officielle de son fils mais il y a un temps pour tout et un rôle pour chacun ! Moi, je suis la Mamie. J'adore passer du temps avec mon Mimi, mais pas tous les jours, car je suis épuisée à la fin de la journée ! Mais lorsque cela reste ponctuel, c'est un plaisir de jouer avec lui, de lire des histoires, de lui faire gouter des choses et découvrir le quartier, les fleurs, les animaux. Etre mamie, c'est retrouver un peu le temps où nos enfants étaient petits et où nous étions tout pour eux .

Mardi

Hier ma belle-fille m'a demandé si je pouvais garder mon petit-fils cette après midi. C'est donc reparti pour la pâte à modeler, la peinture et la Pat patrouille ! C'est une chance que je sois à la maison et qu'en ce moment, mon activité soit considérablement ralenti. Vu que mon mari est en congé cette semaine, j'essaie de le motiver à faire des crêpes avec le petit, pour 4 heures. Une manière de joindre l'utile, en les occupants tous les deux, à l'agréable au moment du goûter !

La maison de Pépé

Un endroit féerique pour les yeux d’enfant : un grand verger rempli d’herbes folles et très hautes, un potager, des arbres fruitiers, des arbustes, des buissons, des zones à cailloux, des cachettes, la forêt tout près et beaucoup d’animaux à observer… Et surtout : un grand sentiment de liberté car je pouvais passer des journées entières dehors, dans cette immensité pour mon regard de petite fille.

Des apartés précieux avec mon grand-père, Pépé : des discussions infinies sur le sens de la vie, la foi, la vérité, la mort, les sentiments, les souvenirs et aussi les oiseaux et les arbres (presque tout ce que je sais sur les oiseaux, les arbres et la forêt en général, c’est lui qui me l’a transmis).

Du bonheur à l’état brut, des moments inoubliables avec ce grand-père unique.

D’autres souvenirs moins joyeux aussi car la maison de Pépé était aussi habitée par un prédateur sexuel mais ça je ne l’ai découvert que plus tard…

Je souhaite garder en mémoire uniquement Pépé et Oma (son épouse - ma grand-mère). J’ai de très bons souvenirs avec elle aussi mais ceux avec Pépé m’ont fait grandir en savoirs : j’ai énormément cultivé ma mémoire, fait travailler mon cerveau, me suis nourrie intellectuellement grâce à lui.

La maison de mon grand-père n’était pas très grande, n’était pas très fonctionnelle mais il y faisait chaud en hiver, frais en été ; nous avions un toit sur la tête et la chaleur du foyer.

J’y passais énormément de temps à lire au calme aussi : je dévorais tout ce qui me passait sous les mains. C’était un paradis pour mon apprentissage et pour les autres temps libres.

Tout a disparu sur la carte mais ma mémoire est intacte et personne ne me volera cela.

How to Take Good Care of Your Grandparents

Caring for your grandparents means being loving and giving toward them. Find ways to be helpful, such as helping them at home or with projects. Treat your grandparents with respect and dignity.

Love how Maomao isnt the 'spawned out of the ether' kind of autistic you often see in media. She is very clearly the daughter of two autistic (& otherwise neurodivergent) people. As well as having, at the very least, an autistic grand uncle.

Like thats some real autistic rep right there. Got a family history of autism, associated trauma and all. I love it.

Ranking mxtx couples by whether or not I think they'd be good parents

(I'm 90% sure I'm forgetting someone)

Yep, next question (S)-

Wangxian: tried and tested good dads. I wish them luck with the whole “trying to get wwx pregnant” thing 

They have some shit to work through, but after that I think they'd be fine (A)-

Ling Wen/ Bai Jin: if we're just going off the original publication, I would put them in a much lower tier, but since the revised edition added that thing about them raising orphans together and said orphans turning out alright before unfortunate circumstances, I'm putting them up here. I think they'll be alright once they work through the miscommunication

Xiao Xingchen/ Song Lan: They obviously have a lot of trauma they're working through, but I'd like to think they and A-Qing will be a loving family in the long run 

One of them would be a good parent, the other wouldn't be a bad parent (B)-

Jiang Yanli/ Jin Zixuan: there's no canon reason for me putting them this low. Jin Zixuan just gives off a mediocre parent vibe to me (and we all know Jiang Yanli is the best)

Yushipei: Yushi Huang has good mom energy, and Pei Ming has been shown to be a not terrible mentor. I'd want the misogyny fully beaten out of him with a mace before I'd think he should have kids of his own though 

Lang Qianqiu/ Little Guy: at the very least, they're making sure Guzi is fed, clothed, washed, vaccinated, and has access to education. Neither of them know what they're doing, but I think Little Guy is good at faking it. I wish them luck in their upcoming custody battle  

You know what, surprise me/ I'll hear you out (C)-

Bingqiu: My first instinct is “no, do not bring kids into this,” but then I remembered tharnShen Qingqiu has a surprisingly decent track record? Like, Ning Yingying and Ming Fan both turned out a lot more health than they did in the original novel, and though I wouldn't call him in a good place, Binghe is doing a lot better than Bingge. The wild card for me here is Luo Binghe because I have no idea how he'd be with kids

Quanyin: Yin Yu had a decent track record until he was pushed into snapping. I think rn, he needs a couple centuries of being a babygirl before he's ready to parent again. No idea how Quan Yizhen would do though 

Born to “dual income, no kids, rich uncles/aunts” (D)-

Fengqing: Feng Xin is canonically a bad dad. I know he's working on it, but it is what it is. Mu Qing has been shown to be decent with kids, but I think he’d have a melt down if he had to deal with the mess constantly. 

Hualian: I mean, Xie Lian has raised three kids at this point and one of them became a god, another became state preceptor and then sorta complicit in a genocide, and one became god AND committed genocide + he babysat a ghost king for months and didn't even realize that's what he was because it was a miracle if he remembered to feed him… so, a mixed bag. Hua Cheng may be schrodinger’s child hater, but I'm intrigued by the idea of him raising kids just because I want to know how his own childhood would influence his parenting abilities. They should probably just stick to babysitting for now though 

Mingling: Liu Mingyan is too busy writing gay porn to be dealing with kids, and I just can't imagine Sha Hualing as a mom

Please don't bring a kid into this mess (F)-

Beefleaf: Do I need to explain this one?

Mobeishang: Shang Qinghua should not be put in any position where he has to teach someone about consent (Binghe’s early attempts at flirting being a prime example of why that's a bad idea). I also think Mobei Jun is still working on the whole “why hitting people is not cool” thing. 

QiJiu: I think the original timeline is a prime example of how they're just not in a place to be raising kids 

Jun Wu/ Mei Nianqing: Xie Lian would like a refund on his adopted father figures. They had one kid and he only made it to age 20 because he was cursed to not die

[houseofmarcella]

dear god Albus Potter do you utterly haunt my thoughts

Just… Albus in the cursed child, for as mixed as people seem to be on it… Albus as the certified middle child who doesn’t have the cloak, doesn’t have the map, who doesn’t even have a family name?

Can you imagine little Al (not yet Albus because that’s a name he truly goes by once he has Scorpius) tucking himself into the cracks of the door as he hears his parents talking, hears his dad say it would have been better to know they were having two boys so they could have just called him Sirius

Al, getting teased by his invisible brother, yet seeing so distinctly that his father chose James over him for their family legacy

Al, who grew up on the filtered advice of a distant, out of reach mentor who he could never live up to. Not like James with his fun, his humor, or Lily with her love and her girlhood.

(Albus, who will hear Cedric called the spare and understand far too well what it’s like to be of secondary importance)

Al, who out of all his siblings looks the most like his father, a reflection to every family friend of what harry went through and an eternal reminder to himself and the world that he will always be his father’s legacy (he will look in the mirror for most of his adult life and see his father before he sees himself)

Al, age 11, seeking comfort on the train platform as everything changes around him and getting another lecture about bravery that he doesn’t feel he has

Al becoming Albus on that train, when the boy who would become the most important person in his life actually asks him, asks him what he wants to be called

Albus, under the sorting hat, struggling but thinking about who he wants to be outside of his family’s legacy and getting put in Slytherin for it

Albus, who grew up on war stories and hogwarts hyjinks staying up half his first night because he’s afraid of his peers, but doesn’t want them to know that because he so desperately and conflictingly wants to both fit in and stand out

Albus, who is bad at flying, humiliating himself in front of his peers, because he isn’t harry but isn’t Quidditch player Ginny either… Albus, who all the adults see as Harry’s extension; Albus, who struggles with charms like Lily never will, who can barely make his matchstick silver under the blue eyed portrait in the room, who struggles to parse through the moving and unequal words of wizarding textbooks, who attracts bullies like flies and doesn’t yet have his mother’s hexes to fight back

Albus, struggling to write that first letter home, to tell his parents and little sister that he’s different from them; Albus who doesn’t even get to tell them because James tells them first

Albus, who doesn’t get a green scarf and hat until after the first snow, unable to parse if it’s the color, the fact that he’s the second born, or maybe just that it’s him that made it come later than James’ had

Albus, who goes back home for Christmas and faces his father’s disapproval for befriending a Malfoy, his father’s distrust and attempts to assure his morality for befriending someone harry assumes cruel and antagonistic

Albus, having to hold awkward conversation with Rose and Ron and Hermione, because neither of the kids want their parents to know they’re not talking (they find out eventually, and though they’re nice about it, Albus knows they’ll always put Rose’s feelings first)

Albus, who is suddenly assumed more malicious and problem causing than he ever was before, who suddenly is seen as a prime person to scot the blame off to when things go wrong

Albus, who gets chosen after his sister (“just like her mother!”) during the family quidditch match; who gets meaningful looks from his Uncle Percy; whose Christmas sweaters are no longer red but never green; who suddenly cant seem to talk to his uncle ron anymore, someone who used to understand what it was like to be James’ brother

Albus potter who stradles the line of too Potter for Slytherin and too Slytherin for his family.

Albus Potter, who’s ambition has been squashed out by bullies and disregard and distrust, struggling to find his identity in a house and world that is still in the midst of undoing decades as an indoctrination machine…

💀The Multiverse Pines Twins Bad End💀

Gnome Queen Mabel (In this timeline, Mabel accepted to become the gnomes new queen. She never had the chance to meet Waddles, Mermando, Candy, and Grenda.)

The Wet Pines Twins (During their hunt for the "Gobblewonker" who was actually Old Man Mcgucket, they drowned while escaping from him.)

The Wax Figures Pines (If the wax figures didn't kill the Pines Twins, but instead turn them into wax figures too.)

Impaled Dipper (If Mabel didn't come in time to find Gideon about impale her brother.)

Smile Dip Mabel / Possessed Mabel (Apparently in this timeline, Mabel died of an overdose from eating too much expired Smile Dip. Which eventually led the ghosts of Ma and Pa Duskerton to control her body.)

Tyrone Pines (Probably Tyrone's ghost returning to threaten Dipper's family and friends to make Dipper comply🤔)

Erased From Existence Pines (By using the Time Tape too many times it caused them to be erased from existence.)

16 - Bits Pixels Dipper (If Dipper actually succeeded in defeating Rumble McSkirmish, he'd be the one suck back into the arcade game. )

Pocket Sized Dipper & Mabel (If Gideon accomplished in capturing Mini Dipper and Mabel.)

Digested Pines Twins (If the Summerween Trickster ate Dipper and Mabel.)

Frozen In Amber Pines Twins (If the twins didn't save Waddles in time or....)

The Zombie Pines Twins (If Dipper and Mabel didn't get away from the zombies in time! Or if Stan didn't save them in time.)

Bipper and Lost Dipper (If Bill succeeded in destroying the journal, he could've made Dipper's body died by suicide! Which could've made Dipper lost in the astral plane for eternity!)

MaBill "Mabel & Bill" (If Mabel actually gave the journal to Bipper, she could've become super depressed, blaming herself for her brother taking drastic measures! Which could've allowed Bill to manipulate her!)

The Blind Eye Pines Twins (If Blind Ivan succeded in erasing the teams memories of their summer, they could've joined the Blind Eye Society.)

Wood Dipper (If Pacifica didn't pull the lever and allowed the townspeople into the mansion's party. The ghost of Archibald could've burned Dipper, Mabel, Pacifica, and everyone else in the mansion!)

The Statue Pines Twins (If Bill captured the Pines Twins he could've killed them way faster and use them as toys to bribe Ford.)

i finally convinced my mother that Elphaba and Galinda are 100% in love and their relationship is so much more than "we were friends". i've been making the argument to her for weeks and it finally happened

picture this: the scene where Elphaba is on the train about to leave, and she's ONLY looking at Galinda, and they do the little hand salute

this woman looks at me and goes "ugh fine i see it" and i'm like "YOU SEE IT?" and she's like "I DO 🙄"

Oh my GOD I've fallen down the rabbit hole of your glorious skywalkers apart AU and quite apart from being ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED, I have to know if my boy Cal is around in it?!

yes but i never really developed it!! ok we all know i'm never gonna finish that comic script i'll just tell u guys -- in said script, after leia and anakin free Padme, they find out Luke was taken somewhere else which, after a family recon mission, they find is FORTRESS GODDAMN INQUISITORIUS! (which they assume is bc luke tried to use the force to stop the initial arrest, big mistake huge)

anyway all this to say cal's involvement was a tiny-mentioned cameo to explain why anakin knew how to infiltrate nur (the exact line i wrote in the never-finished-script was "we met this jedi survivor a few years back" + comments abt said survivor inflitrating nur 10 years ago yes it was that unsubtle) -- the idea was they had run into one another on a short mission in the past and then gone their separate ways!
