Jing yuan is the kind of parent who is overtly invested in their kid's interests and thus yanqing is his gen z encyclopedia
#just a silly lil thingy#yes jy is NOT in fact a boomer#he's all hip and he knows all the genz slangs due to yanqing and bailu#it's just that..some explainations weigh down on poor yanqing#my art#aratribow#honkai star rail#jing yuan#hsr jing yuan#hsr yanqing#yanqing#jing yuan and yanqing#parent-child relationship

Herschel is a very Gen Alpha Dog because he knows how to operate a touchscreen but does NOT know what the landline telephone in my parent's house is.
#it's political season my parents are boomers and the landline rings at least twice an hour with pollsters#they've got a VOIP screener but the phone still makes a Single Ring#Which Herschel is 100% SURE is the THE DOORBELL THERE IS SOMEONE HERE SOMEONE IS HERE TO SEE HIM OPEN THE DOOR I AM YELLING#also Herschel is Gen Alpha because he's four.

This dude spitting facts! Please consider listening to this if you have the time, it's just under 3 mins. :)
(Inb4 all the people who claim this video is 'defending boomers' when there's a big difference between explaining something and justifying the outcomes.)
#this checks out tbh i know multiple older people who had serious food insecurity and their kids grew up terrified of that#then THEIR kids grew up in a very prosperous situation and came to believe they 'worked hard' to achieve stability when lots of it was just#being born at the right time#one of my parents is like this and it bugs me so fcking much#they refuse to believe my generation is way way less lucky in the economic prosperity sense than theirs was#they're scared of the idea that it's really possible to be that powerless so they argue against it as a coping mechanism#josephabrassey#tiktok#baby boomers#boomers#the greatest generation#generation x#generational trauma#capitalism#current events#psychology

This boomer opinion that "my kids deserve no inheritance, I'm going to spend it all on jetskis and cruises, they should just work hard like I did uwu" is so funny to me because this is the same generation who'll constantly berate the childfree about "leaving behind a legacy" and it turns out the legacy these boomers are leaving behind is their children struggling with lifelong poverty during the worst financial times since The Great Depression, something that their own parents went through and subsequently left these boomers an inheritance so as to avoid.
#and this whole “my kids should just work hard like I did” thing is also pretty funny#bc the statistics literally show every generation since the boomers has worked harder than the previous#but with no increase in wages#boomers didn't work hard to accumulate their wealth#they accumulated wealth by being born in the wealthiest time in recorded history#do boomers really think they worked harder than their own parents who survived The Great Depression?#the silent generation really was the best imo#they actually did struggle like millenials struggle today#& when they did pull themselves up by the bootstraps they left their boomer kids an inheritance to ensure they'd never struggle with poverty#the silent gen really did protect boomers from hardship so thoroughly these ingrates don't even understand what poverty is#they don't even recognise the legacy their own parents left them to protect them from poverty#they're willing to destroy their own parents' legacy and throw their kids into the fire#all because they don't recognise the privilege of living through the easiest financial time in history#the poverty of their day probably could be cured with a job flipping burgers#so they think that's still the case#they have no idea what their own parents protected them from and what they're obliviously throwing their own children into#childfree#anti natalism

i think we should care more about how the parents of gen alpha are giving them technology addiction to the point they throw tantrums when its taken away than how annoying skibidi toilet is
#gen alpha#millenials#gen z#gen z culture#millennial#boomers#my guy they are CHILDREN#BABIES#LEAVE THEM ALONE???#DO YOU NOT REMEMBER#THE TRENDS WE LIKED WHEN WE WERE KIDS#AND HOW 'CRINGE' IT WAS#in fact it wasnt even cringe.#its just kids being kids.#and these kids do not have spectacular parents#if the parents benefit and make money off of posting the child's tantrum online#instead of raising their kid right#in fact how about you make a better effort to keep these children safe and happy#than making fun of them online because its the newest cringe culture trend??

waking up to fucking AI “art” on my dash
#i get that it’s getting more difficult to spot at first glance#but this one wasn’t and it was literally tagged as such like 🤡#thanks i hate it lol#from a person who called themselves a writer too like man#begging people to be more mindful of what and who they’re reblogging from#mistakes happen but when it’s clearly stated and and you still repeatedly put this shit on my dash then i’ll block you too lol#goes for uncredited art too idc in which form#because if you don’t bother preventing it from spreading then i’ll assume you support this behavior and don’t give two shits about artist#sorry it’s early and i haven’t eaten yet which means my mood is FOUL#anyway be mindful of what you’re spreading or else you’re no better than your boomer parent on FB#cw vent#lale.txt

NEW SOLARS FIC COMING UP ON AO3 !!
Hi all!
This is WinterBean (AO3 Writer) here. Just wanted to share with you guys that a new fic of mine will be showing up very soon hehehe... It's in the editing stage atm, but yes it has been sorta finished as a draft right now, sitting in between my first two fics in length (~12k+, although I'll have to change that depending on how long it gets after editing).
This focuses on Yumyulack and Korvo's relationship Post S5 Finale!
Here's a little summary of the story (S5 spoilers ahead!)
NAME: Papa Korvo
Potential Tags: Hurt, Angst with a Happy Ending, Fluff, One chapter is a bit of a whump, yes this is focused on Yumyulack and Korvo, Post S5 Finale, ~ Daddy Issues ~, Yet another excuse to hurt my favourite character, Taco Bell Parking Lot Fight Scene, Bad Communication, injuries and overprotective father moments, could be OOC but I can't tell by myself, etc etc...
Summary: Yumyulack and Korvo struggle with working through their issues as a family, and things end up going a little bit awry. After all, Yumyulack calling Korvo 'Papa' seems to have some lasting effects. In the end, Korvo just wants to be a father, and Yumyulack secretly wants to have a father, yet they simply cannot get over themselves and admit they do really see each other as family.
But when things begin to go wrong, Yumyulack's desire for a father figure becomes more of a need as some fights are just a bit too hard to handle all by oneself...
Anyway, hope you guys have a good day, and I really hope this little taster summary (I'll adjust it to fit the vibe more once it's up on AO3, in which I'll post the link here)!
See you guys there, hopefully! Comments / reblogs with any additions/ideas/opinions are welcome!!
-WinterBean ❤️❤️
#solar opposites#This is my first time trying to post go easy on me if I post like a boomer#Really hoping this concept hits well#I just really like the idea of Korvo and Yumyulack having a parent/son bond that was mentioned in the finale#In the finale Yumyulack used it to manipulate Korvo but now he can't stop using it and it starts taking a toll#They're so emotionally difficult with each other and themselves#Also Korvo and Terry pull the world's worst dad joke that ends up being mildly traumatizing#If I write a sequel it'll be about Father's Day and Parent Teacher interviews ...#Tervo#This fic is serious to some extent#Trigger warnings will be updated if I see something dark in there#Surely I can't be the only person to react like this from the finale pls let the people see my vision the way I want them to

WOWWWW OMG I had a dream all about raising the Rowdyruff boys as OLDER kids!!!! 😭💖😭💖😭💖😭😭💖😭💖 They were about twelve or thirteen years old and they were actually not total little psycopaths (I think that was mostly thanks to me) and it was actually really fun being with them around the city and they clearly looked up to and respected me aaaaaaaah I LOVE THEM 🥺💖🥺💖🥺💖🥺💖🥺💖🥺💖
#funniest thing is i was actually taking them to. of all things. open a checking account 😂😂😂#cuz my parents did that for me when i was old enough#and they of course were dreading it cuz it was gonna be really boring and i was like. 'listen.'#'when you apply for this you can make a deal with this bank that they wont ever be robbed by you'#'unless something happens to the money that you deposit' and they were like aw hell yeah threatening people >:]#of course they haaaaated doing the application but i was overseeing and making sure they got everything right#boomer actually finished first which i was surprised by! but i was proud of him tho 💖#brick was trying to read over every single sentence and i had to tell him not too otherwise we were gonna be there all day 😭#and butch had to redo his application a few times cuz he kept writing too fast and misspelling things in PEN#but finally we got it done yayyyy and then we got pizza and went to the park. destroyed some stuff along the way#well they did the destruction i watched proudly 💖💖💖#we were enjoyin our pizza by a lake in the park when a gator-type monster popped out of th water and they disposed of it in like 10 seconds#they really wanted to get back to that pizza 😂 and i was all like 'yeah thats my boys!!' 😭💖💖💖💖💖💖#it was SUCH A FUN FUCKING DREAM AUOGH 😭😭😭😭#ruby rambles#dream dream dream#☠️.fmly

it's so weird how older people love to reminisce about how their folks would beat or threaten to beat them all the time when they were younger. why are you laughing and grinning and talking about it like that's the ideal experience? like i can't find it within myself to look back at those memories fondly.
#my parents will show me facebook boomer memes like this and i'm like#am i supposed to laugh??#i have i.ntrusive thoughts and impulses that look like that and i feel absolutely evil for it

time to speak my truth: televisions are too big these days
#my parents got a new tv and literally the smallest one the store had was 50 inches. FIFTY?#sorry to be a boomer but. that is simply too much tv.#also love to say 'time to speak my truth' when i in fact speak my truth all day every day because i literally never shut up#talking to strangers
