#i grew up with one!! but i was 2yo when we got her so i don't remember her as a puppy

[swinging-stars-from-satellites]

spot the difference

[hitachiinmisadventures]

hey how about hcs for the twins as parents (individually)?

also i’m sorry you’re having a bad day :( i hope you feel better soon!

Holy shit you are one of my favorite blogs I think I can die happy now k bye

By individually, you mean each of them as parents right? That’s what I’m going with and I warn you this is going to be a long one

With this, I’m going off the basis that they didn’t grow up basically one of the riches people in Japan as that generally affects how kids our raised and Money Is Literally Power™ in the business world

If I were to keep them rich, chances are they would be away working more often than not (both twins have stated in canon their parents where rarely home). In most, of no all, shows/anime/cartoons I’ve watched and manga I’ve read regarding high-status wealthy families, the child/children grow up being raised by staff and feel alone or forgotten by their parents. Yes they have money, but money isn’t physical affection humans thrive on.

In my college au idea (that I don’t think I ever posted on here...) I stated the headcanon Hikaru had gotten someone pregnant in college. Ngl, I really think this is something that would happen bc he’s never been one to think before he acts.

 As for Kaoru, uhhhh he’s the tougher one to put this together for as I’ve never really thought about it for him. He canonically isn’t straight, so for this headcanon we’ll say he’s bi and had a wife first, then a husband

Hikaru upon finding out:

with his first kid, he was utterly terrified the moment she said the words

He was barely an adult and now he was going to be a father the world was against him

The first person he told was (surprisingly) not Kaoru as they were going through a rough spot and not talking to each other

So Mori was the first person he told. It was on the roof of their dorm building at 3 in the morning 15 minutes after Hikaru texted him saying it was urgent and he needed someone to stop him from doing something utterly stupid bc his head was a rushing mess and he had no idea what to do

When Hikaru finally got his head out of his ass and showed up at Kaoru’s dorm a week later (also at 3am, that’s just when this boy has his breakdowns) he broke down and told Kaoru everything. That they we drunk at a party. It was a one night stand. They honestly never expected to have any ties afterwards. And all that was shoved back in his face

He honestly thought (and he thought long and hard about it) about not being in the kid’s life bc he wasn’t ready to be a father

Kaoru knocked some sense into him, figuratively and literally

“Next time, keep it in your damn pants idiot”

Telling his parents was even harder than telling Kaoru. He just called Hikaru and idiot. His father didn’t talk to him for three days. And his mother was torn between being upset or being excited to be a grandmother

He was terrified

But then he heard the heartbeat for the first time

He will never admit it, but he cried

And the sonogram technician told him the we having a girl

A daughter. He was going to have a daughter

He grew more and more excited and less and less terrified

He could do this

Her water broke 6 weeks early and the doctors tried to stop her labor but she was dilating quickly

No he couldn’t do this. He wasn’t ready

Kaoru actually punched him bc Kaoru tends to knock sense into this idiot more than anyone else

“That woman in there is alone which so many strange people with her and the one person who should be in there with her is out here in the waiting room trying to get his shit together. She’s just as terrified as you are, if not more. So take a moment. Get your shit somewhat together. And get in that delivery room”

The waiting consisted of: His parents, her parents, Kaoru, Tamaki, Haruhi, Kyouya, Honey, Mori, Renge, even Kasanoda was there—everyone was ready to meet Baby Girl Hitachiin

Holding his baby girl for the first time was single handedly the best moment of his life

His second kid was planned, he was married by then

His two kids have different mother’s but Hikaru, first baby mama, and step-mother/second baby mama co-parent like goddamn pros)

Hikaru as a father:

He’s a little immature for the longest time and with his daughter he makes a lot of mistakes

His mother is on speed dial and that woman is a saint when it comes to helping

“She has a rash Mom—no I don’t know what kind of rash! That’s why I calling you—no, I’m not sending pictures this time—because it’s down there Mom—a fucking diaper rash?”

He has very little experience and boy does this guy need lots of help

Parenting books, the internet, his mother—he’s using every goddamn resource he can find

Haruhi actually offered to watch his daughter literally any time he needed a babysitter—which brought on many long discussion between the two of them about kids

At one point, Hikaru made in offhand comment to Tamaki about their (Tamaki and Haruhi) future with kids and Haruhi about died on the spot

His kids are 6 yrs apart

By the time his son was born, Hikaru knew what the hell he was doing and totally had everything figured out

quit laughing Kaoru he’s trying his best

His son was named after Kaoru

The differences between how Hikaru raised his kids really show sometimes

With his daughter, he let her get away with a lot more than he should have growing up, he was very lenient and he didn’t quite understand parents aren’t supposed to be their kids’ best friend so she basically got anything she wanted for a long time and that was a hard habit to break for both Hikaru and his daughter

(and considering she was the first kid and between all the hosts and the first grandchild in the family, she was spoiled a lot)

With his son, as his son grew up in a two-parent home with his older sister being at her mom’s 50% of the time, he tried being more strict—he learn his lesson letting his first kid having whatever she wanted—although it was hard as he and his wife weren’t always on the same page when it came to disciplining their son

Hikaru and his wife discussed having another kid, but 2 ended up being plenty (even if the oldest was back and forth between Hikaru and her mother and only spent half the time and every other holiday/birthday with him)

He really is trying his best tho and all he hopes is that his children grow up knowing that

Kaoru upon finding out:

Unlike Hikaru, Kaoru was married for several years before his first kid

They actually tried for a little over 2 yrs to get pregnant with no luck for the longest time—he was beginning to think something was wrong—until Hikaru told him his wife was pregnant, then Kaoru’s wife found out she was pregnant (they were born 3 weeks apart)

Kaoru was super exited for have his first kid

After all, he had all that practice with his niece and his little sister (who was born as they began college)

In all honested, Kaoru was physically and financially prepared for parenthood (buuuut probably not mentally)

His first kid was a boy born at 2 in the morning after 36 hrs of labor, he was exhausted, his wife was exhausted, everyone was getting cranky and Hikaru’s first baby mama made labor look easy and Kaoru was not expecting it to be so bad—or that his wife had such a strong grip on his poor hand—but hot damn holding his son for the first time made everything worth it

I don’t have anything else to add here my brain hurts

Kaoru as a father:

Respectively, Kaoru had more experience with raising kids than his brother did (and he learned a lot from his brother’s mistakes)

Although with all his previous experiences, nothing prepared Kaoru for actually parenthood—it was nothing like watching his niece and little sister

He worked nights for a while so someone would be home with the baby

He didn’t want his son in any kind of childcare facility—nothing against them he swears, he just doesn’t like the idea of someone else taking care of his kid that he doesn’t know

Kaoru and his wife started having problems when their son was around 1-1&1/2yo, but trying staying together for their son’s sake. They ended up  divorcing when their son was 5 after Kaoru had fallen out of love with her

Co-parenting wasn’t as easy with Kaoru and his ex-wife as Hikaru and his baby mama made it look (damn Hikaru had to be a pro at this point)

He didn’t get to see his son a lot after the divorce as his ex-wife had custody. 

This killed Kaoru. All he wanted was to be there for his son. He grew up with his parents working a lot and being away and he swore he would never let his kid grow up without him around. He ended up only getting his son every other holiday/birthday and during breaks from school

Kaoru treasured every minute of it

Kaoru remarried a few years later and his husband treated his son like he was his own kid any time they had his son

They ended up adopting a little girl (about the time his son was 7 or 8) and a little boy a few years later

 Kaoru didn’t really have the best relationship with his oldest until he was in his mid-teens

I know I didn’t stay exactly on task here and I kinda went off and stated headcanons based around their lives as parents rather than how they are as parents and I apologized for that. This was very fun to write for and I enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for the ask! Sorry it was so long, I’ve been working on this literally since the ask hit my inbox...

[igotyoukth]

BTS juniors.

Masterlist.

Bear with me and the names of the kids. I’m currently studying for an astronomy exam, and had to use something for the names xx

Seokjin and daughter Ari (4 yo.)

She was the prettiest girl, and growing up as the daughter most confident guy you ever met, she learnt one thing or two. Ari was everything you would call a little lady. She loved pink since birth. Not tht she had any other chance. Your husband, Jin already had turned the whole house pink, the second you found out about the baby’s gender. But with Jin, a son wouldn’t have made a difference to be honest.

And just like her dad, Ari wasn’t just a pretty doll, she was also so kind, nice and intelligent. More than you could ever wish for. She surprised you every day, Jin especially. 

“Dad, I can’t wear them,” Ari whined staring at her white shoes. Jin immediately started looking for pink ones to match her outfit better, but Ari’s frustration grew bigger. “No,” she sighed and walked to the shoeshelf herself. She took black ballerinas out of it and placed them on the floor. 

“They will get dirty,” she explained and shook her little head at her dad. Jin looked down at her little girl and couldn’t hide his shock. His girl was so smart, while he didn’t even know he had to pack a picnic blanket... to go on a picnic. 

“Yes, my smart princess, let me help you,” he said and helped her out of the white shoes. 

And at Han River, Ari didn’t stop shocking her dad. But in the most embarrassing way this time. 

“Do you know my dad?,” she asked a group of female teens, when Jin was busy with the bags. “It’s Jin, from BTS!” Ari started to giggle, when the girls turned to Jin and awed in his direction. “Of course,” the group screamed, when Jin ran towards them to collect his cheeky one. Jin tried to take Ari away, and apologized for her, but the girls were already singing to one of BTS’ hits. 

“Jungkook uncle sings better,” Ari said, again earning wide eyes from her father.

Yoongi and son Haneul (3 yo.)

It was Yoongi’s idea to name your son ‘sky’ in Korean. He liked the metaphorical aspect of it a lot, how his son would always be up high, at school, in his job or in life general. Yoongi also described the sky as something so different, with the several colors and the weather, but still so consistent. 

Maybe it was too deep to others, when it was just a name. But you actually didn’t expect anything different from Yoongi. He had to put too much thought into everything. 

“Mini Min?,” you walked around the house, looking for your son and your husband. You didn’t bother calling them both, as Yoongi was always glued to Haneul, when they were home. 

“It’s mom!,” you heard a little panicked voice from the living room, followed by footsteps running around. You walked towards the noises until you found the culprits in the bedroom of your son. Yoongi was standing tall in front of you, with Haneul hiding behind him. Haneul was hugging Yoongi’s legs, while Yoongi was trying to hide a grin. 

“Where is Haneul?,” you asked Yoongi, joining their game. 

“I think I saw him in the garden,” Yoongi said and winked, telling you to leave the room for a bit. You nodded a little confused, left the room but stopped around the corner, to listen what was happening. 

“Now let’s change before mommy comes, okay?,” Yoongi spoke softly. 

“Is it not pretty?” Haneul’s voice was kind of sad. “It is very pretty, but I don’t think that mom will accept your t-shirt as a drawing.” So that’s what happened, you finally understood. 

“But books are boring.” You could only imagine how pouty he looked right now. Haneul always found new places to draw on, because like he said, drawing books were boring after a while. 

“How about we go out and draw with chalk on the house wall?”

Hoseok and the twins (2yo) Luna (girl)& Leo (boy)

What else was there to expect from the kids of Jung Hoseok. These two were up since way too early in the morning with way too much energy.

“All I wanna do is sleep,” Hoseok whined. The man, who was once so famous for his energy and vitamin like character. The man, who didn’t think twice about another round of dance practice or could handle concert after concert. His own twins were his downfall.

“That’s what I’ll be doing the whole day,” you smirked at him. Last month Hoseok and you made a bet and the winner got a day off. The bet had been nothing spectacular, but for sleep deprived and almost crazy parents multiplication had been hard. So today, you had the day off, you would go to a hotel to just... sleep. You wouldn’t even bother with the spa or any other thing. Sleep was all you needed. 

“And I’ll be having a great day with my two angels!,” Hoseok bluffed. His confident facade didn’t survive for five seconds, because the twins brought him back to reality with their screams. They had been playing peacefully with their toys, which was over now.

Leo had managed to tangle up his doll’s hand in Luna’s skirt, and Luna running away from him made Leo crazy. And of course, Luna had to scream while eunning around. Before you could calm them down, Leo caught his doll, and pulled at it. His doll suddenly left Luna's skirt, so that Leo fell on the floor. Luna looked back at her brother, seeing him and his doll. And a part of her skirt in his hands. So another scream party started at that point. 

“I can’t survive this,” he turned at you,”you can get your free day,when those are five or so, but today you can’t leave me.” 

“Okay, babe. But don't call them 'those', they were your two angels a minute ago.” 

Namjoon and son Jaein (4yo)

These two were so different, but still so similar. Day by day Namjoon was getting clumsier, while Jaein was getting more cautious. But at the same time, they searched for each other, when they saw cute things on TV or in a book they read.

"Daaaad!," Jaein yelled around, until he found his dad in the garden with you. Jaein had a coloring book in his hands. He sat in Namjoon's lap like he always did and told him to wait for a second.

"I found our friends," he explained, searching for the tight page in his book. "You did? This is amazing, Jaein."

"Look! It's an octopus, but you can only see six legs," Jaein pointed at the page with a half colored octopus,"I counted them."

"You did great, but why didn't you finish coloring?"

"Dad!," Jaein suddenly said, frustrated with Namjoon,"I told you, it has six legs!" But Namjoon only had qustion marks all over his face.

"Only six? Not eight?," you helped Namjoon out.

"Ah! Then let us get a pen and draw the missing legs, ok?," Namjoon asked Jaein, who was now happy that his dad saw the problem.

"I'll get them," Jaein said and jumped up.

"I think he's afraid that you will trip again in his room."

"He is so smart and caring." Namjoon had hearts inside his eyes, watching Jaein enter the house.

"Yes, he is, but I think he is also afraid that you will destroy his lego castle."

Jimin and daughter Elea (14 months)

You woke up from Jimin’s screams and Elea’s laughter. While moving in her sleep, Elea somehow had managed to slap her father in, waking both of them. Now she was jumping around on the bed, running away from her dad. She was nowhere close to being stable on her feet, but she trusted Jimin to catch her, if she would fall. 

“Stop right there, rascal!,” Jimin yelled jokingly trying to get a hold of Elea’s little arms. But she only giggled even harder and murmured something.

“Rascal!,” you could make out between her giggles.

“Park Jimin!,” you yelled at him for teaching her bad words. Elea was weirdly talented in that area. Only picking up bad words, when it took you months and months to get her to learn mom or dad (she said dad first, to Jimin’s delight). But once she heard Jin say sh*t, she repeated it for hours. 

“My girl is just smart in her own way!,” Jimin argued, but then Elea continued with her little curses. 

“Lili,” it was Jimin’s little nickname he used for her, when he wanted her to comply,”let’s forget that word, and I’ll teach you prettier ones, and get you chocolate.”

“Okay, rascal!,” Elea yelled happily, but immediately covered her mouths. “Sorry, dad,” she whispered afterwards.

“It’s ok Lili-baby, should I tell you my favorite word?,” Elea nodded excitedly,”Lovely!”

And just like the mini version of Jimin, Elea started chanting “Lovely, lovely, lovely!”

“It reminds me of someone,” you said to Jimin.

“Of someone lovely?”

Taehyung and twin boys Bora& Baram (2 yo.)

Only those who could handle twins were gifted with them, you believed. And seeing Taehyung with his twin boys, it felt right. Any other person would have gone mad by now, but he and even you were doing great. You developed the infamous instincs, that told you if the boys were hungry, awake or in any kind of danger. And Taehyung... was just born for this. 

You kind of thought that it was his pure love and excitement to have kids, but really this was something beyond it. It was like watching these super dad videos everyday. The ones, where dads catch their kids mid air from falling or save them from being hit from flying balls. 

“Kims,” he yelled without even turning around, and the boys immediately started apologizing in their baby language. The twins were playing in the pool in your massive garden. It was unusual for young people in Korea to have houses with gardens, many preffered apartments, but Taehyung told you that it was his dream to live like this. And you loved it as well. Also noone would be able to survive as your neighbors anyways. Your morning routine included dancing to Anpanman after all. 

“What will you do about food?,” you asked Taehyung, because you would have a girl’s day with your friends for the first time in forever. And the twins only were problematic about food, anything else was manageable for Taehyung.

“Food?,” he thought for a while,”I’ll probably get hamburgers.” 

“Ya! Kim Taehyung! They are only two!”

“Just the right age to start loving hamburgers!” 

“So I’ll prepare lunch before I leave?”

“And dinner please.”

Jungkook and daughter Hera (8 months)

“You have to come back,” was the only thing Jungkook said on the phone. You had only left to get some food at the supermarket, because Jungkook was always too slow or hindered by fans. And you really needed to get out of the house. 

So after ending your 2 seconds call, you quickly grabbed the essentials and paid. You could only imagine, what was happening at home. Was Hera crying? Did something happen to her? So you hurried and got home, to find Hera and Jungkook lying on the floor. Their bodies made a perfect L shape, Hera the short stroke, Jungkook the long one, touching by their heads. Well, not exactly touching. Hera’s fingers were in Jungkook’s hair and it was written on his face, that she was pulling now and then. 

Hearing you enter the room, Jungkook tried to get up, just to be held down by Hera’s little hands and her whines. 

“She only stopped crying when she did this,” Jungkook explained, going back to his previous position on the floor.

“Hera, come on, look what mom got you,” you tried to lure her. And she did turn on her stomach and started to crawl into your direction. With her hands still in Jungkook’s hair. Given his muscles and body, it was funny to see him defeated by his baby girl. All he could do was hope, that Hera would let go. So you came to his rescue, lifting Hera up, and freeing her hands. 

“She started crying the second you left,” Jungkook said unhappily.

“It was the first time any of us left, she would’ve done the same with you,” you told him, because you heard a bit of jealousy in his voice.

“If she doesn’t cry, I’ll lose my pride,” Jungkook responded, but happier after your comment. 

“And if she does?”

“My mind definitely, she can be so loud.”

[prankprincess123]

People assuming that just because I'm straight, white, Christian and educated means I've never struggled and that I'm some niave rich privledged kid is really annoying.

I always try to look on the bright side and just like my parents am too proud to admit when things are bad; and I fully understand that there are alot of people in the world who have it alot worse than me. But I've had a few conversations lately about the issue and I've had enough.

I'm mostly self educated because we never had money for the best schools or extra curricular activities like dance or sports or music. What I do know of those type of things is from free teams at school, or going through my mom's old piano books from when she was a kid, or the few classes that my grandparents paid for as Christmas presents. I learned about politics and government by reading the newspapers as I was delivering them to make enough money to buy any non-nessisary items I wanted. And because my dad: a kid who grew up in the hood in an area that was half abandoned because the residents had to move to homeless shelters, decided to be active in politics and tell all of us kids what was going on and why so that we dont make those mistakes when we're old enough to be in charge.

Both of my parents have had two sources of income most of my life because the economy is so bad, and neither of them had a chance financialy to finish university, that otherwise we wouldn't have a house. I remember in early elementary my classmates talking excitedly about how they were going to Disneyland or Hawii for spring break, and how they were excited to be going back for the 5th time; while I wondered if we'd have enough money to go to the pool for an afternoon. There have been months where we've been living off of food storage, with the power shut off and no hot water, while praying that mine and my sister's babysitting money is enough to make up the last little bit of mortgage for the month. There was a month in grade 10 when I was the adult of the house because both parents were having to work so much, and we literally were surviving off of instant noodles, including the then not even 2yo baby who 6m earlier had been malnuroushed and in the foster system. She hadn't even been with us long enough for her adoption papers to be filed at that point, and even now when she's been with us for 3.5 years she's still dealing with the neglect from her first year and a half of life, and having to drink weight gainer because of how malnuroushed she was.

I also suffer from several permanent injuries and health problems that could have been avoided if we had the money to pay for a competent doctor or a physical therapist, as opposed to just the 'free' health care system that doesn't work. And I probably needed a psychologist at 3yo to deal with the PTSD from watching one of my little sisters dying when she was a day old, never having left the hospital, as I tried with my toy doctors kit to fix her. And again a psychologist was probably needed at 9yo when I watched my little 3yo cousin get pulled out of a lake unconscious and not breathing; before being pushed inside, handed 3 screaming babies, a crying 3yo and a catatonic 7yo who had seen even more than me. Or again when I went into depression at 12yo because my older cousin, who I'd become co-dependant upon because of these issues, was moving away; I was in deep depression and nearly a hermit for most of JR high as it got to the point of near hallucinating and relying on my Maladaptive Daydreaming to get through it. But we couldn't afford anything to help any of those times, so I got through it on my own.

I coped with all of these struggles by escaping into books and shows where they were personally dealing with homocidal and even genocidal maniacs, fighting in wars where they lost friends left right and center, and being kidnapped by evil organizations. And suddenly my problems didn't seem like they mattered! How could these struggles seem relavant when one of my favorite fictional characters as being forced to be a child soldier and watched her little brother sacrifice himself, while her twin brother became a POW, and then she was caught in political manipulation and blackmail that almost caused her to become her best friend's step mother; while an even younger character in that series has just been captured and tortured for months before loosing her actual soulmate. (Granted I probably shouldn't have been reading that specific series at 8yo, as it caused alot of mental issues, but those were self inflicted...)

I've even struggled with religious discrimination because despite living in a province with a very large Mormon population and being in one of the highest concentrated areas, the majority of people in the area are fiercly atheist or so fanaticaly devoted to their branch of Christianity that they hate any other sect. On top of that there is alot of anti religion and infringement on religious rights in Canada right now to the point where children are getting in trouble for praying silently in schools, and getting forced to attend classes teaching things that most religious people disagree with or believe are best taught at home; specifically because the government is anti religion and anti family.

So don't tell me that I'm privledged because of my race or religion. Both of those things have minimal effect on class or suffering; especially in a broken economy in a country where everyone is an immigrant, and where the government is trying to discreetly stomp out religion. I know alot of people have it worse than I, and lately things have been getting alot better to the point I'm not worried anymore, but I have lived through alot of crap and just because other people have gone through more doesn't erase my struggles.

(Don't answer this yet) --we are now in the future where your brother have already seen 12.12 or the mixtape episode-- Tell us what he thought about it!!!!!

Today in “The adventures of my Bro the Casual Viewer”

GUESS WHAT ANON FROM MONTHS AGO, WE ARE IN THE FUTURE NOW! 

first post about that here and here and here / tagging @tinkdw @casanddeanwinchester @chibi-lie @captainhaterade @eriquin @sprinkleofhappinessuniverse

It’s very long so blah blah about s12 and destiels feels and nonsense under the cut!

/!\ ATTENTION PLEASE/!\ Before anything I think it’s very useful to remind everyone that :

my brother and I aren’t living together anymore so I can’t actually influence him that much since we watch the episodes separately. 

His experience is much “i watch the episode then I forget about the show until the next episode” CASUAL VIEWER 

He also doesn’t have the fucking heteronormative goggles since his sister is a raging pansexual and his father is remarried to a man and grew up in an homophobic family.  

And his fav character are Gabriel, Crowley, Lucifer (s4 - s5) and dorky Castiel sometimes. He wants to punch the brothers usually (Castiel too but less) and just want the funny episodes. SO NOT A SHIPPER AND NOT A TFW LOVER 

this is for fun lol #laugh >.>

NOW Today in “The adventures of my Bro the Casual Viewer” 

OVERALL ON THE SHOW : he’s more interested in the plot than in the characters really. And he wants it to be clear. He’s watching to have a good time and take a break, all the character studies are useless for him. 

Let’s do it ! S12 : 

Below only his words, mine are between ( )

12x07 rock never dies : wtf lucifer, are you a fucking 2yo throwing a temper tantrum bcse daddy isn’t home to give you candy? You remember the time when he was a good character? Because, i don’t. [about the brothers] nice the leather jacket! 

“lumberjack pffff good one”.

aw Dean left his wife and his mistress at the door *irony intensifies* Cas is not the fav anymore lol (yes he saw the drowley too and was kinda “i’ll do as if i didn’t see it, thank you bye”)

Mid Season Break. Guess what ! CAS WILL BE ALL SAD AND CRYING BECAUSE HIS HUMANS ARE GONE HA HA HA (i told you he doesn’t care about the characters!)

12x09 : AAAAW He get out of prison and call his boiyfriend first thing, THAT’S SO CUTE URGH *vomitting noises* And damn, I’m not like that after so much weeks not shaving. Tss

12x10 : SUBTLETY IS FOR THE WEAK. Lol but srsly guys, the fucking seat. They should push more it will be an orgy. You weird people must have had ideas with the three of them no? But looks more like Sam is playing gooseberry again. You must relate no, Saawek? (okay i won’t explain to him what wincestiel is and yes he was so disgustingly in love with my best friend/first girlfriend I srsly relate with Sam on this one) Dean should just sit on Cas’ lap if he wants the dick so bad. (omg i died)

And angels are stupid. If humans die when nephilim is born WHY ARE THEY HUNTING THIS HUMAN FOR HAVING HAD A NEPHILIM BABY. stupid stupid stupid

Dean making silent treatment to Cas : “Even my GF doesn’t do that.”

him when the silent treatment was going on

12x11 : A TRUE SPN EPISODE AT LAST (meaning one where there is no complicated plot, no mary, and just funny and tragic shenanigans.)

12x12 (at last!) GOD this one is really cool! Cas is hurt, poor chap, he’s really got no luck recently hm. Ugh disgusting black goo. Mary is still not dead yet? tss. 

I love you, lol. NO HOMO THOUGH. tsss. *irony intensifies*

We are Family, lol, i don’t do half he does for family. (elnawen if you read this I SWEAR DON’T DO THE JOKE)

Wait. Pause on the arrows in the cave… are these heart shaped arrows, like  cupids arrows? In the ‘i love you episode’? (yes it’s the “ILY episode” in his mind, the name or the number don’t matter) God it’s some hardcore queerbaiting. 

(otherwise the i love wasn’t groundbreaking because “we know dean and cas love each other duh”, it also almost went unnoticed because of the action with yellow eye dude. But the arrows were not, which baffles me.) 

12x13 : CROWLEY AND ROWENA, YES. (which was yes until) Why always women and rape *sighs* It was good though, I miss good Crowley.

12x14-15-16-17-18 : (not much to say except a deep hate for how Crowley is acting this season. And Lucifer is boring) “Lucifer’s arc has gone from “i wanna do whatever i want” to “i want a baby” too fucking fast. I don’t care. BMoL are boring. This season is only here to prepare the next big bad.”  Crowley is so stupid this season, he’s useless.

12x19 : When Cas left with the Nephilim : “I GUESS DEAN HAS JUST BEEN DUMPED, HA HA HA, too bad”

The Mixxtape of doom : “………………..okay it’s cute. Dad used to do that for Mom.” (he would even record vhs with her fav movie moment. I’m waiting for dean to do that now)

actual footage of him “raiiiiinboooow”

12x20 : Max/Alicia parallels : dude, it’s not even subtle anymore. (What do you think of the gay dude?) Parallels with the bro, Dean gay or bi (he tries to make the difference) blah blah. NOT SUBTLE.

at this point he’d randomly shout “gaaaaay” every time he saw max or dean lol

12x21 : Eileen died : “Aw Sam… no luck! too bad for you. No GF this season! Ha ha ha. Just like your brother he he” (yes he has no emotional attachment for characters BUT he does a cas/eileen parallel without being prompted on it, i’m so proud) 

And Mary dies too? No? Not yet? Tss. (he doesn’t hate mary, he just doesn’t care if character is not Gabe/Crowley or Cas)

God what was the thing with lucifer at the end? even the subtitles were saying “wtf”, I am saying wtf. WHAT THE FUCK? It’s like the Gondor has lit the fires or what. It’s almost as bad as the ice effect in the ‘The Flash’ episode!! Its like a looney tunes episode! OR AN ADD FOR VIAGRA OMG (he then tried to make me apply for a fx job for spn)

12x22 : Oh cool it’s nice. Surprised Mary’s not dead yet. Fake Angel Brainwasher Lady is though cool! (ps he means the fake naomi aka Toni, he’s not good with names of secondary characters / BUT cas/mary parallels spot on unconsciously!) good episode, good action, not boring. Aw cute hug. Just a Cas and everything is perfect. (i swooned, btw you can find it here)

12x23 : I HATE IT. for Crowley mainly, (Rowena has been totes forgotten lol) Cas is dead but he’ll come back. (at this point we agreed it wasn’t possible bcse financial reasons) I want to know why he’s dead though bcse he’s dead for a reason and i want to know what. I LOVE IT (we share the same opinion)

More general things to say :

He thinks destiel is just to dudes (jensen and misha) playing gay on screen for funsies and fan found that awesome and wanted to have lgbt representation . It got out of hand and now the show is doing it on purpose. Queerbaiting or eventual endgame, though? He doesn’t know and doesn’t care. 

His words “Destiel can become canon I don’t give a shit. They kiss it’s okay, now next episode, I want to see the plot”.

But in conclusion my bro watch spn with other dudes who watch like once a month when they don’t miss the episode, and they kinda all see the “not gay dude who is gay for the angel dude”. They just don’t care.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND IT’S ONLY FOR FUN. And I’m not preaching destiel is canon because it would be twisting my brother’s words. I’m just having a good time sharing all the little things that might make us laugh :)

(psst destiel does exist)

Aqours as parents, AU [summary]

Hello again c:

It’s been a few months that I’m working on this AU, and I really wanted to share it with you all. I wrote a few scenes here and there (for now), but I’d rather introduce you the families before publishing whatever will come (and be finished) first. :3

○ the Kurosawa household    → RubyMaru (yes, our little shy Ruby came a long way and proposed to her best friend!) + their two children, • Tsubasa, the eldest.      • born on July 21st, 2027      • she started dancing at 6months, whereas she was barely crawling (imagine her rocking her small body back and forth on every music she heard!)      • she became better at dancing when she was able to stand on her feet, gripping the edge of the couch (or the table legs) • Hanayo, the youngest.      • born on January 17th, 2029      • even as a toddler, she was super shy and often hid behind her moms’ legs in presence of other people, including Aqours      • loud noises have always scared her, whether it be the vacuum cleaner, some works outside the house, or Ruby accidentally breaking something      • the first time she clapped her hands was at 9months, while watching her big sister dance (it was on Step! ZERO to ONE)!

○ the Matsuura household    → ChiKanan + their … um … FOUR children!

• Anju, the eldest.      • born on January 16th, 2027      • she loved when Chika and Kanan were singing nursery rhymes, and she was always happy to gesture and mimic them      • she started singing lullabies to her baby sisters as soon as she could sing them almost entirely      • also, Anju was very pampered by all her aunties, as she was the first Aqours baby! • the younger children … Here comes the twins, Honoka and Umi!      • born on March 15th, 2028      • the two of them were are very different : Honoka has always been more active than Umi, as she was running everywhere whereas Umi preferred puzzles and dominoes      • as they grew older, Honoka tried to avoid her parents’ scolding by blaming Umi for her bad behavior, but knowing the oh-so-calm nature of the latter, it never worked • and Rin, the youngest of all.      • born on November 1st, 2029      • she has always been the most hyperactive among the Matsuura children, even beating the little Honoka      • speaking of Honoka, Rin and her did a lot of silly things together (they were sometimes helped by Anju), as Rin copied Honoka a lot      • she has always loved cats despite having a dog at home! and ‘nya‘ was her third word, after Momma and Mama

○ the Ohara household   → DiaMari + their only lovechild … • … who is our favorite Elicchi (she won’t be quarter Russian this time tho).      • born on October 21st, 2027      • her fear of darkness started when she was 8months, the moment when she realized she wasn’t just one with her mothers, but that they were different persons (it happened to the others too, but it was traumatizing for baby Eli)      • classical music (or serene songs) have always appeased her, becoming her favorite kind of music      • Tsubasa and Hanayo are her cousins, and she has always loved dancing with them (Tsubasa and her were the ones who helped Hanayo stand on her feet, so she could dance with them!)

○ the Sakurauchi household   → YouRiko + their three calmand loveable daughters. • Erena, the eldest.      • born on May 27th, 2027      • aside from long hugs and kisses, Riko found out that nursery rhymes were calming her down each time she had a fit. Singing lullabies became crucial when Riko had to cut Erena’s nails (she hated it)      • let’s be honest, Erena was a pain when it came to sleeping. She loved falling asleep in her Mamas’ arms, but she woke up each time they were putting her to bed. You sometimes had to go for a drive to make her fall asleep again (funny, putting her to bed after a car ride never woke her up)      • despite all this, Erena was still a calm and adorable baby • Kotori, the sweet younger one.      • born on September 12th, 2028      • after her parents introduced her solids, she became quite a pain when it came to food. Kotori was used to You’s cooking, which caused her to often refuse food from other people, especially desserts (no one could rival You’s cheesecake!)       • as her sisters often ran away from Mama You and her thousands outfits, Kotori was always happy to try them on before parading in front of her family • Maki, the youngest …      • born on April 19th, 2029      • as tsuntsun as ever, and still a real tomato lover.      • it was a real mess when YouRiko found out about Riko’s third pregnancy, as she got pregnant only a few weeks after Kotori was born …      • the stress of having a newborn and being pregnant at the same time caused Maki to be a premature baby      • Maki is really close to her sisters (Erena tried to help her parents despite being 2yo, and Maki literally grew up with Kotori (Kotori is only seven months older than her!))

○ the Tsushima household   → Yoshiko and an adorable OC named Maemi + their devilish twins : • Nozomi and Nico!      • born on June 9th, 2027      • let’s be honest, the Tsushima twins were a good fit, and ended up copying Momma Yoshiko Yohane      • Nozomi and Nico were real pranksters, and the two of them loved pranking their little friends, especially Eli (Hanayo could have been their scapegoat, but they got yelled at because she was way younger than them)      • Nico loved pranking the others, but she also was her twin sister’s target. Too often to her liking.

I hope it was a nice surprise to see that the Aqours girls are our µ’s and A-RISE girls’ lucky and happy parents! :3

Because well, let’s be honest, we all know that, in a very close parallel universe, Mari is NozoEli’s hidden child, or that Dia and Ruby are NicoMaki’s daughters … But I thought that, what if, this time, YouRiko, ChiKanan, DiaMari, RubyMaru and YoshikOC were the parents hehe~?

If you have questions about this AU, don’t hesitate and ask! :3

On blanket training and the Duggars...

Trigger warning: The following topic covers issues related to corporal punishment and abuse at certain points. Consider carefully, if you want to read into the practices of the Pearls. For my uneducated eye it is clearly child abuse.

Here we go, I have spent a few hours researching, I have dug through countless FreeJinger threads and read many newspaper articles and watched a handful of videos.

What is “blanket training”?

From my research, blanket training is a form of training, to get you child to stay on a blanket for a longer period of time, without getting off the blanket or disturbing you. Methods used to ensure that behaviour is kept up are widely different. 

Who are the Pearls and what is the book “To train up a child” about?

The Pearls (Mike and Debbie and I think 6 kids) are a fundamentalist family who wrote and published the book “To train up a child”, that is supposed to “help” your kid, to become a happy and obedient child. How is that achieved? Via spanking/switching aka training the child.

Here is the full copy to read. Please be aware, that many real cases are described in the book, they are very disturbing: http://web.archive.org/web/20070206184100/http://www.achristianhome.org:80/to_train_up_a_child.htm

Later-on a few cases of children dying of horrible abuse were linked to this book, since the parents of the dead children owned and used that book.  Graphic violence is described, please watch with caution!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5vGHOOzokI

Here is also a very long “webinar” of the Pearl family defending their methods and denying their connection to these murders:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RAEa2ORFbg

Here are also a few chapters from the book, that I think are particularly disturbing!!

“OBEDIENCE TRAINING--BITING BABIES One particularly painful experience of nursing mothers is the biting baby. My wife did not waste time finding a cure. When the baby bit, she pulled hair (an alternative has to be sought for baldheaded babies). Understand, the baby is not being punished, just conditioned. A baby learns not to stick his finger in his eyes or bite his tongue through the negative associations accompanying it. It requires no understanding or reasoning. Somewhere in the brain that information is unconsciously stored. After two or three times of biting, with the accompanying head hurting, the child programs that information away for his own comfort. The biting habit is cured before it starts. This is not discipline. It is obedience training.”

“NEVER TOO YOUNG TO TRAIN The parents who put off training until the child is old enough to discuss issues or receive explanations find their child a terror long before he understands the meaning of the word. A newborn soon needs training. The child needs holding, loving and lots of attention, but the mother often has other duties. As the mother, holding her child, leans over the crib and begins the swing downward, the infant stiffens, takes a deep breath and bellows. The battle for control has begun in earnest. Someone is going to be conditioned. Either the tender-hearted mother will cave in to this self-centered demand (thus training the child to get his way by crying) or the infant is allowed to cry (learning that crying is counterproductive). Crying because of genuine physical need is simply the infant's only voice to the outside world; but crying in order to manipulate the adults into constant servitude should never be rewarded. Otherwise, you will reinforce the child's growing self-centeredness, which will eventually become socially intolerable.

“Just last night while sitting in a meeting, I looked over to see a young mother struggling with her small child. He seemed determined to make her life as miserable as possible--and destroy her reputation in the process. She had the "Why me?" look on her tired face. He kept defiantly throwing his bottle on the floor (assisted by her picking it up and handing it back to him) and making angry noises that forced the preacher to scream louder and louder. With threats of increasingly embarrassing displays, he forced her to put him down on the floor where he proceeded to audition for circus clown while insisting on procuring a neighbor's property. When she tried to prevent his thievery and rescue the stolen goods, he kicked his feet like an eggbeater and screamed his protest. It was enough to make you believe the Devil started out as an infant. I am just thankful that one-year-olds don't weigh two-hundred pounds, or a lot more mothers would be victims of homicide. It causes one to understand where the concept of a "sinful nature" originated.”

“SINKING FEELING When our children were coming along, we lived in a house with a pond in the immediate yard. As they grew to be toddlers wandering around outside, we always watched them closely. Yet, knowing the possibility of one getting out of sight, we cranked up the training. On a warm spring day I followed the first set of wobbly legs to the inviting water. She played around the edge until she found a way to get down the bank to the water. I stood close by as she bent over reaching into the mirror of shining color. Splash! In she went. Girl, it was cold. I restrained my anxiety long enough for her to right herself in the water and show some recognition of her inability to breathe. When panic set in (mine as well as hers--not to mention her mother's), I pulled her out and scolded her for getting close to the pond. She didn't swallow any water, and there was no need for resuscitation--except on my wife who took several hours to begin breathing normally. We repeated the same process with all the children. It took only one time for each of them to learn respect for the water. And it got easier on us. We did have trouble with one of them. She is the one who became mobile early, crawling at four months and walking at seven. She always had marvelous coordination. She just wouldn't fall in. I got weary taking walks to the pond. So, to bring the class to graduation, I pushed. Oh, she didn't know it. As she was balanced over the water, I just nudged her with my foot. To this day, I still believe that if I had left her alone she would have swum out. But, it distressed her enough to make her not want to play around the pond. No, they didn't stay distressed of the water. My children were all swimming by the time they were four. We still closely watched them, and we never had a close call. The training worked. Do not try this unless you are sure that you can maintain full control of all the circumstances.”

How are the Duggars and Pearls connected?

The Duggars not only use the same terminology and apparently the same methods (see further below) as the Pearls, they even actively promoted their teachings on their own website:

Duggars on corporal punishment:

We already knew before, that the Duggar(senior aka JB and Michelle) were spanking their kids with a rod:

http://keepingupwithfundies.tumblr.com/post/161236886344/do-the-duggars-believe-in-corporal-punishment 

The girls, questioned by the police for the molestation by Josh, stated they were in fact hit with a rod. 

Blanked training described by Michelle:

I found very old posts about someone who was on the same Christian mother forum as Michelle, who shared what Michelle apparently posted:

She also described the practise in her book “20 and counting” (if anyone were to look into the chapter about child training and give us a review, I’d be incredibly thankful, but I understand, if nobody is interested in reading about abuse):

Later on she gave an interview, to well known owners of the duggarfamilyblog, Lily and Ellie, where she calls it “Quiet and still”, maybe because by then, the words “blanket training” had a negative connotation due to a few deaths of children linked to the Pearl’s book. Here is the audio to it.

Also from an old version of the Duggar website:

The Bible on spanking:

The bible actually seems to encourage spanking of you child and even the use of a rod. Check out this website:  https://www.openbible.info/topics/spanking_children

Knowing that the Duggars take the bible seem to adapt the bible as literally as possible to their lives, this shows us, why they spank their children.

I think it is pretty safe to say the the Duggars (senior) not only spanked their kids with a rod (proven fact) but it also seems very likely, that they did use tools such as a ruler for blanket training (still no proof to that though, just a statement by a person claiming to have been there. Seems likely though with the connections between Duggars and Pearls) .

How is Jill connected to all of this?

The discussion heated up again, when Derick stated in this video that 2yo Israel was manipulating him:

Jill grew up with blanket training. Michelle said, she started, when the twins (Jed and Jer) were 17 months old, so Jill was only 9 years old (and already had Joy as a buddy). There is no evidence, but always the possibility of her being taught by her mother how to train Joy and now using this practice on Israel.

We have seen a few pictures of Israel in distress:

But how I see it, pic 1 and 2 is not blanket training but swaddling (another controversial method, but this would need another post) and I would have been rather upset, if she let Izzy play on a stone-cold tile floor instead of the nice blanket (pic 3).

Here are also 2 threads on FJ discussing exactly this subject:

http://www.freejinger.org/topic/21012-do-you-think-jill-derick-will-do-blanket-training/

http://www.freejinger.org/topic/22770-will-jill-blanket-train/

So my conclusion?

I think imo the Duggars did use blanket training before the TV show started (4 years after she started with the method). I am unsure, if Jill is doing/did blanket training with Izzy the way the Pearls teach it in their book, or the way her mother played it down later-on. I will not go into much more detail, there is a lot of information gathered now, form your own opinion on it! Stay critical guys and believe in facts! (Annie) OMG what a monster post.... TLDR: Read it, don’t be lazy, inform yourself  💗

Pre-Noon tales from LCS

The temp job is temporarily over. The project had very little left to go yesterday, so my supervisor said if we didn’t want to come in for a part-day, we didn’t have to. I’m losing like, $50, but I’ve got family coming in, and apparently one of them is sleeping on my floor (on an air mattress). So I appreciate the extra day to make sure there’s floor for them to use.

I have to run errands today, too (bank and groceries), so I decided to get my couple hours out of the house done all at once. The plan was to be here at 8:30. Considering my phone died and I accidentally slept through till 8? That didn’t happen.

A couple in front of me in line looked like they stepped out of a 90′s tv show. I am absolutely serious. The blond bob with the bangs all pinned on top of the head, the multi-layered cut that looked like it belongs on Mike Myers. He wore too short dockers with a tucked in long sleeved polo. She wore too tight jeans paired with a cut short sweater and a jelly watch. All she was missing was the butterfly clip/necklace and the tiny backpack. I know 90s fashion trends are making a come-back, but still.

There was a mother with small children at the table I ended up snagging. While mom was throwing the trash away, (and after I had swooped in) the daughter (maybe one and a half, old enough to walk, but definitely younger than my 2yo niece) came back to the table, climbed up a chair near the table, and then smiled at me. What a sweet kid. Don’t worry. The shop’s pretty open. Her mom had her in sight the whole time.

The shop is in a little complex that houses 2 vegan restaurants (there’a only a handful in the entire city but two of them share the same building. That does not seem like wise placement), a Japanese place, artisan ice cream (which is delicious) and a couple of shops. My point is that, when the shop is empty, the parking is full, and vice versa.

I have my first case! I’m not getting paid or anything, because it’s for my sister, but still. Experience! It’s a small court claim, one that people often go after without a lawyer, but still. I am way too nervous. I think it’s worse because it’s family. What if, despite the obvious right solution to the matter, I still screw up? Ugh. It’s not like I have anyone I can go to with this. I never really established a mentor as a student. Too shy. Now I wish I had someone I could just go to to ask. The lawyers at the temp job have been helpful though. Now I at least know trying to resolve things without going to court is a waste of time (in this particular matter. It’s often very beneficial to stay out of court).

There’s a puppy! I know that’s random, but he literally just showed up. A fluffy little jumpy bug. What a cutie! I keep forgetting it’s puppy season. All those christmas puppies finally leash broken enough to go for walkies! It is a shepherd puppy of the germanic persuasion. Or a near cousin.He keeps looking at his owner like “am I doing it right?” and “Don’t worry, you’re still the best person in the entire universe”. God, I love dogs. And cats. And pretty much everything they represent.

I am resigned to the fact that I will have at least four pets at some point after I get a steady job. There’s Terrapin of course (my cat), who I’m sure will live to be ancient. Then there’s the dog I’m getting after I’m settled enough to handle my student loan payments and getting out of debt, a maltese (because I grew up with one and they are the best little dogs out there) who will be named Kenobi. And I will get so much heat for that. Then there will be a second cat. Because of course there will. Either a tiny little rescue kitten that gets my heart at one of the pet stores that participates in my city’s cat rescue (which is every one of them. Petsmart and the local stores, so it’s only a matter of time), or a Maine Coon because they are giant and fluffy and awesome. I would go the adult cat route, but between Terrapin being a butt and the dogs, in might be easier to start from kittenhood. I’d hate to introduce a full grown cat that Terrapin hated. And I’d hate to reject a cat that I’d honestly get attached to as soon as I decide to bring them home because of Terrapin being unhappy. He’d adjust easier to a kitten.  Finally, and the timing of this depends on when my sister and I finally part ways, a big dog. Most likely a German Shepherd, but I’m not adverse to Rottweilers or Bernese Mountain Dogs. These 4 are the bare minimum. That number could always go up.

Chapter 3 is not fighting me. I am simply being lazy on writing and focused on getting the blanket for my nephew done. I’ll try today. I intend to stay at the LCS until noon, at least, so I’ve still got plenty of time.

Philosophy videos on youtube are the best. I wasn’t even looking for them, but one came up on auto-play and now I’m hooked. I’ve missed this stuff from college more than I realized.
