Buster Keaton & John Rand The Cook - 1918

[the0retically]

I’m thinking so much about Timothy Rand and the Rand family

He never applied himself, he never looked for more, he stayed at home and did nothing, he never even finished the D&D story

He was bitter that the others left and did something but it’s not like he even tried to do anything else until he was forced to, until he was forced to be face to face with Rachel, because really when it comes down to it, Rachel is the heart of the Rand family and they’re all broken without her

John was constantly working or just watching his caveman show. He is constantly on Rand’s case and doesn’t give him any grace, but can you blame him?

Donna was trying to be a good mother and wife and wanted her family to be happy but always came up short. She lost her youngest and then watched as her eldest slowly lost himself and shut himself away from everything and everyone, she lost both her kids at the same time, one was just slower to present that loss. Donna is trying her best to be there for her family, but she doesn’t feel like she’s been a good mom

And Rachel, the one who showed kindness to the Queen and lost her life to it, but was still there enough to talk to Rand and be upset that he wasn’t actually going to give her a hug when he said he would

Timothy Rand sees all of this and applies himself to fix Galloway and he’s the only one that makes it out alive and as Rachel says “you’ve changed” because he Has, he just needed Galloway to fully fall apart in order to Do Something and be more than what he was

The way that the man-wolf episode of usm is such a spideynovafist episode while also adding another character that was definitely pining over spidey makes me giggle

Marvel Team-Up #64 (Claremont/Byrne, Dec 1977). The Daughters of the Dragon try to defeat Davos themselves, but Danny needs to prove he’s still worthy to carry the chi of Shou-Lao the Undying. Pretty satisfying wrap-up to Iron Fist’s first run, even though it had to sneak into a Spidey book to pull it off.

THIS!!

Cause that’s the point. Rand hates himself so much that he can’t even begin to understand that others could care about him or like him enough to make that effort. He sees himself as horrible and so why wouldn’t his dad see him that way too?

My favorite headcannon is Rand and his dad were close but after Rachel disappeared, John closed in and Rand needed his dad but he wasn’t there. Rand was already spiraling with convincing himself it was his fault and his dad closing in was proof that it was

John cares for his family so much. Is he the best dad? Absolutely not. But he wouldn’t hurt Rand. He cares for Rolan and Kian as well. He’s damaged and gone through a lot. Still grieving Rachel and grieving the life that Rand could’ve had but doesn’t. He’s not a great dad, but he is not abusive because of that

Yeah it’s the 80s but Donna cares too much about her family getting along for John to be abusive. She wouldn’t put up with that and wouldn’t have the narrative she does if that was how the household functioned

Rand may not have a good relationship with his father anymore and they may not be friends. But, even through all of his faults, John loves his son, Rand is just too caught up in his hatred and bitterness to notice it past the front that John has, the harden exterior since losing his youngest

Need the jrwi fandom (and actually people in general) to understand that you can be a shitty parent without being abusive. Need y’all to realize that even abusive parents almost always love their kids. How do I get it through to you that even the good and loving parents are flawed and will make mistakes and hurt their kids. A good person can make a horrible parent and a bad person can make a great parent and a horrible parent can care for their kids and a great parent can hurt their kids and abusers can love those they abuse and abuse victims can love their abusers and nothing is black and white and everything is complicated and no parent will ever be perfect. Do you understand??
