thinking abt dove baek and how they've done a variety of illegal things to survive and they justify all of it bc it was for their survival right and as an adult they're avoiding breaking the law as much as possible bc they have to be a good influence for sparrow bc they don't want him to pick up any of their bad behaviors right but at the same time they're super nonchalant and open abt some of the stuff they did (there's some things that are going to stay buried forever thank you very much) so sparrow absolutely picks up on that energy and the first (and only) time dove has to come pick their son up after he's caught stealing they're incredibly upset – at him but mostly themself – and they fear for their LIFE bc it's totally going to be blamed on them and while karina isn't gonna hold it against them forever she won't be happy abt it and her parents will be even more upset.

meanwhile sparrow thinks he's done some cool shit and doesn't understand why everyone's not being chill about it

#minotaur // dove baek #the house // musing #minotaur // karina downing #dove it literally the most anxious they have ever been as a parent #while also fighting back the urge to give their son pointers bc getting caught? really bro #the only thing stopping them is the fact that they're the parent and reenie would not be happy at all if they gave their son tips #for breaking the law #sparrow is sitting in the backseat of dove's borrowed car just happy to be there #he 100% tells jason about it and the entire time dove is behind him giving jason a look that says #“do not fucking tell him that was cool do not do that do not give him advice i swear to god jason peter”#and jason. even tho he is a being of chaos actually listens lmao #karina comes over later and has dove go outside with her so they can have a talk & sparrow stays chilling with jay #it is. kind of awkward but again sparrow is happy to be there :)#karina and dove conversation is mostly them arguing back and forth w each other but they didn't want to do it in front of their kid #she's super pissed at them and they're pissed at themself so it's? not a great time #they cool off after awhile and they're chill again but they do have to go have a Serious Talk w their kid #for the record im imagining sparrow at like 13 or 14 when this happens #which adds layers to it bc i can see dove getting that call and finding out what he did and they flashback to what they were doing at that #age and how it wasn't cool for them and it's definitely not cool when he does it and it's just a little bit of panic #and it rlly sinks in that they've done some bad shit to survive and they don't want sparrow to ever have to do that #but like most things dove repressed that shit :)#oh and sparrow n jason dynamic is very good 2 me #jason is not his dad or parental figure at all really bc dove isn't pushing that on him #and he's also not just a stranger or only his dad's boyfriend #he's like a secret third thing #bc he IS important to sparrow fr #especially once sparrow was old enough to realize jason wasn't just his dad's cool friend that stayed over a lot lmao #and jay cares abt sparrow bc yknow? that's his dove's kid! he's been around since sparrow was rlly little he's been there! so even if he's #not a dad or overt parental figure or anything they're still important to each other #it's a family dynamic that doesn't like fit into a nuclear family format ya feel
