Somethig is seriously broken about me.
And I don't know why.
#this is why i was so mad at dad#i was like him#so it could've been genetics#also#he was absent when i was a kid#mentally anyway#his body was there but he. barely spoke to me except yell at me for opening and shutting the fridge door#taking too much space#so! this is why i keep the fridge door open until i find everything i want#even tho it may cost more $ and i crige thinkig dad will notice#WELL WHICH IS IT#you made me a burden#by being a burden#or else something else#or there is no reason im just. a nothing#which is what he always said about himself#i nevvvver wanted to be like him#well guess what#why i hate myself

If skyfire and starscream ever had sparklings I think they would have two little scrunkly sgungrly newborn baby bird looking seeker sons and one Huge Large unit of a shuttle daughter
#transformers#starscream#skyfire#maccadam#skystar#jetfire#when starscream has custody time he tosses off the kids to the other cons#until the sparklings start getting attached to megatron and his fury at being one upped by meg overides being an absent parent#I don’t have names for the sons yet but their daughter is named snowspirit :}#and she grows up to be an ecoterroist. skyfires love of nature + starscream starscreamness

much to think about........
#while looking through old fandom posts i saw people joke that smokey looks like their lovechild and i cant unsee it now#i think they would be absent fathers but in the ''being around my kid would put them in danger because of who i am'' kind of way#and when you consider smokey ended up at the iacon hall of records...far away from the real danger...#like i Know in canon they didnt know him when he showed up on earth but. imagine.#if i knew how to write i'd write a fic about this lol#optiratch#smokescreen#transformers#samael.txt#shitpost#<- kinda#''sam are you implying you found out about Those TF fics'' yep!#i did not expect TF of all things to have so many of them. not judging btw i was just surprised

dunno why but orion black slapping the ‘best protective spells known to wizardkind’ on grimmauld place prompts the image of him knowing sirius ran away the moment sirius made the decision. like the house wakes him up all “MASTER!! MASTER THERE IS A DISTURBANCE!!” so orion goes to sirius’ room in his snork mimimi nightshirt and makes direct eye contact with his oldest son. who is halfway through the window with his school trunk and an ancient broom orion’s quite certain he bought for himself when he turned 23. and sirius lifts his middle finger to his mouth shush and flip orion off simultaneously and orion simply turns back around and goes back to bed. because that’s fair and most importantly something to deal with when he isn’t still half drunk from his nightly nightcap.
#sirius isn’t it breakfast (or anywhere in the house) the next morning#walburga is freaking out because what do you MEAN sirius is gone kreacher?? orion do you know where our son is???#and orion’s like ‘i’ve no idea dearest’ because it’s true#sirius black#orion black#the noble and most ancient house of black#i like it when orion (neglectful absent father) doesn’t actually give one flying fuck what his kids do#as long as they use their brain properly#like oh sirius you like the mudbloods now? whatever just be clever about it#ah regulus you want to join the dark lord and die horrifically? sure have fun#deep down he cares but on the whole he’s got no interest on what they’re doing whatsoever#he’s the type of dad who forgets your birthday and the way your name is spelled#he didn’t even want kids he just had to have them bc of tradition#meanwhile walburga is screaming her head off in outrage ♥️ and orion goes and locks himself in his study#at least the family ledgers give him less of a headache

im loving s2 of dndads. just. the kids from s1 projecting their insecurities and traumas onto their children…unknowingly continuing the cycle and fucking up their kids in new and interesting ways…
#op#dndads#GOD#sparrow wanting normal to have a normal childhood bc he + lark didn’t/weren't normal kids bc of the doodler and being disappointed when nor#is weird n has weird interests bc normal reminds him too much of himself + lark n that worries him bc of the self loathing they both feel#grant projecting his self-worth issues onto lincoln and wanting the kids to let them die bc he thinks that he doesn't deserve to live...#nicky (though unwillingly) becoming an absent father thus continuing the Close-family cycle of absent fathers#whats funny is that terry jr is the exception to this only bc he doesn’t have a relationship w scary yet#which in turn also mirrors the past#im only on episode 34 but i hope that terry jr continues the stampler legacy of being the best dads in the entire show lmfao

fred andrews really watched his son get convicted for murder, get sent to juvie/prison, escape, then run away after being exhonerated, and when mr andrews finally finds him, instead of being like "hey archie let's get you home get you some therapy and work on that martyr complex of yours", decides to drive his teenage son to the canadian border and say "damn it sure would be nice if we could live in the wilderness together, to bad we can't ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" even though there's literally no reason he can't go with him and gives archie their dog before DRIVING AWAY AND ACTING AS THOUGH HE NEVER SAW HIS SON.
#and people are really out there saying he's the only decent parent in riverdale#rule number one of riverdale: there are no good parents#fred andrews#riverdale#riverdale season 3#archie andrews#i mean listen#i understand that most media centered around kids/teens needs the parents to be a little absent or bad in order for the plot to work#bc if the parents are present and taking care of their kids then it's less likely they'll get into as much trouble as they do#and i'm not against that as a plot device in the slightest!#but when characters esp teens act as tho a parent is the best that doesn't mean that it's true#obvs fred's one of the better ones since he's one of the few not directly tied to a murder#but he's not great!#anyway#can you tell i'm rewatching riverdale season 3 lol#thinking a lot about the core four's relationships with their dads this rewatch#and about veronica and jughead parallels#but that's another post#myposts

This is not really a question but just popping into say that I am OBSESSED with your boy king Seb au.
Is this partially because Seb is my favourite driver? Yes. Is this partially due to the fact that history and by extension, historical fiction one of my favourite things ever? Yes.
This is a really random tangent but when you mentioned the AU being loosely based on the Spanish War of Succession, I was like I recognise this but from where? I looked it up and realised that I learnt a little about it when I studied Louis XIV. This also reminded of how much I used to love making fun of Louis XIV as well.
This just struck me as I was writing this but since Fernando is based on Philip and if I remember correctly comes from Renault (basically) in this au, would that make Flavio Briatore the Louis XIV in this universe...
Sorry for the really long text - I got carried away lmao
Nooooo don't apologize!! I absolutely love long asks, and I'm so glad you like the au so much!!!! That makes me so haopy to hear 🥹 But you're so real, this au does in fact stem from my obsessions with my f1 boys and history. I'm very happy to have found a way to combine my two major interests into one thing 🤭🤭 But as I said to someone earlier today, it often feels like this AU is just a way for me to force-feed people niche history trivia LOL
Imagining Flavio as Louis XIV gave me a heart attack sjkfkflf, that man cannot and should not have that amount of power 😭 Flavio is Fernando's top advisor!! I think he works better as someone working behind the scenes, in the shadows, the little devil on Fernando's shoulder. I like to imagine he's some merchant who gained enough reputation and favor, that Fernando's father or smth was like, yeah sure you can be my son's advisor....not knowing he'd become king later on.
I think he obviously genuinely really cares for Fernando and makes decisions in his best interest but uhhhhh is not upset when it also happens to put a bit of money in his own pocket. I imagine he was like, super gung-ho about the arranged marriage, and giving fernsndo all these platitudes like "don't you think this is your best chance at being King 🥺 maybe you can find true love 🥺" but then is also making deals behind the scenes sjkfkv. Just constantly doing mental arithmetic, weighing out and balancing how much he's benefitting Fernando, and how much he's benefitting himself. Also lol, I like to imagine he tries to be all schemey with Seb, but then can't help but become endeared with him(reminds him of a younger Fernando 🤧)
#im not sure who louis xiv would be hmmmm#i thought maybe Prost#but getting into the generation pre-Charles VI and such is opening up a giant can of worms 😭#im not mentally prepared trying to figure out all of those politics and roles haha#but yeah tps! all of them are advisors. and yknow all have their own ways of advising#tho i rly do find flavio particularly amusing. man he would do so well in this era#hes just casually trying to convince Fernando w the marriage and Fernando sees thru him like. ik what youre doing here#but knows even if flavio is doing a lot of shit that he rly does care for fernando most of all#maybe Fernando's father in this au was somewhat absent and flavio accidentally ended up filling that role#when he got offered the advisor position he wasnt expecting a *kid*#okay sry you didnt ask for this lore but im giving it to you anyways jdkfkg#catie.asks.#boy king au

hearing so many ppl talk about their dads is so fucking depressing like wdym ur dad didn't learn the names of your teachers or friends???
#my dad literally worked abroad for nearly 7 yrs of my childhood and still did more housework than some of my friends' dads#insane that it's so normalised for dad's to just be absent parents wtf#I won't deny that my family falls into some stereotypes#like my dad earns more and tends to do more of the 'fun stuff' than the organisational bits of raising kids#but like he consistently knows what's going on in our lives and when he's home he actually contributes to the house#by doing pretty much all the laundry as well as a lot of the cooking and cleaning#he also organises my brother's piano lessons - the teacher kept trying to email my mum about it even tho she knows fuck all about music#sorry random rant#the way I've seen/heard people talk about their dad's often makes me very sad

I watch shows like Spy x Family and Bluey and feel such joy and warmth but also bitter jealousy. I can never watch the ending theme for Spy x Family (Comedy) without tearing up because that's it. That's all I wanted. All little me wanted were two parents that preferably loved each other, but even if they didn't, they would at least love me.
#absent father#childhood emotional neglect#i can't say that they didn't love me because there's no way for me to actually know#but i will say they didn't meet any of my emotional needs#neither of my parents even hugged me as a kid#my dad never came to see me even though once a year he'll tell me he misses me#when i babysat kids as a teenager i showed them much more care than either of my parents showed me#all my mom cares about are my achievements

Idk maybe it's fine to accept Sada and Turo are just really shitty parents who neglected and abandoned Arven instead of pulling the shortest straws in an attempt to make them seem like they were just sad workaholics who got too caught up in their work like a bad hallmark movie
#like honestly seeing the straws pulled on my dashboard is like...really?#'oh they had two pictures of him!!' they had a picture of him as a toddler and the other was of his dog#by a cabinet full of their trophies and a messy eating area btw not by their bed#'oh well ai said-' ai literally felt so bad for that kid that they felt like they had to make him feel loved by them#and even arven knew it was bullshit and told them to stop#'oh well-' he's referred to as ''the boy'' in their PERSONAL journals that right there shows they don't love him#arven having basic necessities doesn't mean they loved him it's that they knew how to make sure he didn't starve to death#he literally learned how to cook BECAUSE they weren't there so they even failed on that part#you can't say you love your child just because you give them food and clothes and a place to sleep that's REQUIRED of a parent#like wow they have ONE WHOLE PICTURE of arven when he was like 6 they must love him so much /s#literally arven is so traumatized by how he was neglected and abandoned why are excuses being made for his adult parents#i think it really reflects how some people who turned to pokemon as an escape see their own relationship with their parents#because yeah i def know what that's like to be given basic care and not the emotional parts of parenting#and it means people have to confront some shit that's pretty heavy#listen you having basic things like a place to sleep clothes and food doesn't mean you were loved#if your parents were constantly absent/only saw you when they wanted something/always talked about work/were never there for you/etc-#then that's something you gotta talk to your therapist about#treating your kid like a pet store fish isn't love and arven was treated like a pet store fish#people gotta realize that if you feel the need to make excuses for his parents what excuses you're making for your own or other parents#because damn realizing that stuff hits like a brick#this is a rant because arven's issues hit really hard with me playing through the game#and it's big bruh moment seeing people trying to take copium for sada and turo#they're shitty parents end of story#like it's not rocket science tbh but damn therapy is a thing some people need for how far you're reaching for some love between them all#there wasn't and there's not. the two pictures aren't 'evidence' of love#just like damn#rosebud posting 💐#pokemon#pokemon sv spoilers

I think a lot about how Trish says that she can still sense that Diavolo is alive when he's in the death loop. That just sounds miserable to me; imagine if you constantly felt your abusive father's presence even after he's "taken care" of
#child abuse tw#another problem i have with the infinite death thing ngl#though i suppose that could mirror the effect an abusive parent would have on a kid#even after you're far away from your abuser for good that kind of thing sticks with you and never fully goes away#speaking of which. the one time diavolo actually kind of scared me as a villain was the one time he and trish actually interacted#diavolo is a very exaggerated evil dad to the point where it's not comparable to most real abusive parents if that makes sense#he's her absent father who turns out to be a crime boss that wants to kill her. that doesn't map on to many real life scenarios much#but when trish uses her stand against him and he says ''if only you'd never been born... now you've REALLY made me mad'' and guts her#that was the one point that made me go. holy shit that kind of feels like something a real abusive parent would say#does that make sense? i hope so#rambles#short posts

#I CAN'T#blocking someone on ao3 isn't enough#i need to explode them#i blocked someone for making rude and weird comments under my kid fic about neil being an absent/bad father#because he... *checks notes* leaves his only child with her other father (andrew) to keep her safe from danger and comes around when he can#and they're acting like neil's neglecting her and not just staying away because of said danger#anyway that was months ago and i see them under another kid fic#asking the author not to make neil a bad father#🤨🤨#WHEN I GET YOOOOOU#ALSO THAT'S SUCH A WEIRD THING TO COMMENT ON PEOPLE'S FICS#if you don't like the way a fic is going because it's not 100% fluff#please. PLEASE write your own omg 😭#neil has a fucked up life#not everything is going to be sunshine and rainbows#especially if nathan is still present#sorry for the rant but I'M IN DISBELIEF#if you've read my fic you'd know neil absolutely loves their kid#mine

speaking of my nextgen is it controversial to be like “yay i made a nextgen of this show i like” and then not give the main character any kids at all LMAO
#my perception is like… ash is a traveler first and foremost and hes restless and cant stay in one place#even if he knows he has a home in pallet town its just in his nature to seek out new places#and i think his dad was the exact same way. except he left ash and delia alone to do it#and ash probably feels guilty enough as is just leaving delia and he remembers how he felt when his dad never came home#in my hc they hadn’t actually talked since he was around 6 bc his dad was. shitty tbh#and decided ‘’nah i dont wanna be tied down to a kid for the rest of my life’’#and ash has a ton of conflicting feelings abt his dad and being so similar to him in that theyre both restless#so i think he would just refuse to have kids bc he doesnt want to do that to them#this isnt to say he WOULD 100% repeat the cycle and be an absent dad. the difference between them is that he doesnt just ghost em#(at least in my hc he keeps in contact w everyone bc i dont like that the show implies otherwise)#and he does still visit a lot and call his mom and make time for friends#but hes just nervous that he would put a child in the same situation he was in and he wouldnt want to do that#and also i think he just doesnt want to take care of a kid and prefers his pokemon#and very much prefers being an uncle to all of his friends’ kids#echoed voice
