I think no one has ever gotten to Willy the way that Scary has and I love that for her

[tomwambsgans]

tom's repression being "i need to be like my own father" and greg's repression being "i need to be NOTHING like my father" and tom's, then, naturally running deeper and ultimately being more successful than greg bc it's easier to emulate a pre-existing image than to only avoid a particular image (that's not altogether solid anyway due to his father not being present) and invent aspirations for his manhood out of nothing

[ratatatastic]

quite honestly we should have a canadian whos sole job it is to make a finn giggle do pressers together more often just for the chaos

if i had a nickle for everytime this happened id have two nickles which isnt a lot but its weird that it happened twice.

Working on any fic involving characters with parental issues where even though they still hate said parent/al figure they still want approval is proving to be a challenge I was not prepared for

[keokartoffel]

They sure are!

I am already a big enjoyer of Friede and Amethio's rivalry and dynamics in general, so if Crave turns out to be Amethio's father, I feel like this knowledge would reframe their rivalry in very interesting ways and give additional readings and perspectives..

dude I think we're living parallel-ish lives what do you mean you're also one of five

it's time for the PowerPoint of the nichtimhandelerhältlich family dynamics again isn't it. it's complicated. I consider myself the oldest (due to being A. the oldest girl and B. my step bros (both older than me) not living here) but you could debate me being the middle child (grew up in the role of an oldest tho lmaooo) but yeah

my answer is always 4-6 siblings just pick a number you like

the herculean task of convincing an older family member to go see a doctor

Surrogate/adoptive father figures, from 80s and 90s cartoons, is a level of comfort I crave.

I find it soo hilarious that Rhaenyra named her daughter Visenya and Aegon named his son Mae(l)or

to be fair, Rhaenyra had this idolisation for Visenya (hence the name) and while she was a controversial figure, she had more pros than cons. Though it's still rather bold to name her firstborn daughter like this and 100% respect for it.

Aegon had me wheezing with Maelor because there's no way he didn't do it on purpose. I feel like there was definitely a push from otto/Alicent when it comes to the first names (given how people in asoiaf use them) so firstborn son was forcefully named jaehaerys after the wise old king (as a sign of power that his son will follow the same path) and I headcanon Helaena coming up with the twist of its female form Jaehaer-a to be all cute and make her twins match.

Meanwhile with Maelor, Aegon had the opportunity to wilful and unruly and forced down his choice, instead of whatever other name his mother and grandfather had in mind.

I got an email from my grandpa today and all the draft responses I’ve been working on in my head sound like an 18th century letter that’s going to have to travel for months to reach him.

pandemic year 5 really has me feeling like me and a very small handful of people I know are living on an entirely different plane of existence than everyone else

[fandomlockedfan]

If this request is to find out who your son is partnering with and how the two of them had a child, and also wanting to meet them so you can play with your granddaughter... Then fine I can accept that. BUT IF YOU SO EVER HURT THEM I WILL FIND WAYS TO MURDER YOU

[janeway-lover]

why is it always cancer

[kariachi]

Sometimes I am reminded that my step-grandfather abandoned his first wife when she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, leaving her with the kids and the bills to go shack up with my grandmother. And I remember that he, eventually, got cancer that he refused to get treated because "God wouldn't let me die of cancer, I'm a good Christian".

Yes, he did quickly die of cancer.

Sorta gives you a sense of cosmic justice, really.
