siblingery ( WARNING: lloyd swearing in ninjargon... )

for context lloyd is NOT talking about kai.

(yk when youre like, talking, and then this one person is like "what're we talking about again?" and you're sick of repeating and you just say "you.")

one of the things about being an educator is that you hear what parents want their kids to be able to do a lot. they want their kid to be an astronaut or a ballerina or a politician. they want them to get off that damn phone. be better about socializing. stop spending so much time indoors. learn to control their own temper. to just "fucking listen", which means to be obedient.

one of the things i learned in my pedagogy classes is that it's almost always easier to roleplay how you want someone to act. it's almost always easier to explain why a rule exists, rather than simply setting the rule and demanding adherence.

i want my kids to be kind. i want them to ask me what book they should read next, and i want to read that book with them so we can discuss it. i want my kid to be able to tell me hey that hurt my feelings without worrying i'll punish them. i want my kid to be proud of small things and come running up to me to tell me about them. i want them to say "nah, i get why this rule exists, but i get to hate it" and know that i don't need them to be grateful-for-the-roof-overhead while washing the dishes. i want them to teach me things. i want them to say - this isn't safe. i'm calling my mom and getting out of this. i want them to hear me apologize when i do fuck up; and i want them to want to come home.

the other day a parent was telling me she didn't understand why her kid "just got so angry." this woman had flown off the handle at me.

my dad - traditional catholic that he is - resents my sentiment of "gentle parenting". he says they'll grow up spoiled, horrible, pretentious. granola, he spits.

i am going to be kind to them. i am going to set the example, i think. and whatever they choose become in the meantime - i'm going to love them for it.

i think if i was commander fox of the coruscant guard and some wrinkled raisin of a man who i was bound under pain of death or torture to protect along with a planet’s worth of ungrateful, uppity rich fucks who couldn’t be bothered to consider me sentient much less deserving of a smidgen of civil rights, looked me in the eye and went i’m going to catch and store a massive, eldritch space monster right smack dab in the middle of all the Most Important And Very Breakable people and places on this planet under the most flimsy, whack-ass excuse you’ve ever heard and also it’s your circus and your monkeys-

well i think i would simply have punted him out the window

The best part of lady susan is hearing reginald say like "god shes the flirtiest and worst socialite in england. Id love to meet her and see through her guise" and then meets her and utterly duped. Like my man was soooooo confident. He thought he was the strongest and smartest man. And he folds like immediately to a few sensible conversations.

i actually cant with these ccs, you say that because q was nice to you personally that means he cant possibly be a bad person. but this entire past month has been ccs harping nonstop about how just because dteam seem nice doesnt mean theyre good people, we never know whats happening behind the scenes and how we shouldnt trust the front they put forward(mind you they say this and act like we should put our full trust into them, someone we also dont know). like do these people hear themselves . seems like its more about their word being law and wanting everyone to only listen to them than it is about warning people of being blinded by rose-colored glasses.

my one really big gripe w sdv is how poorly alex is written for like 50% of his arc. i think the drastic difference in his demeanor based on the player’s gender is just. why. bisexual people exist and can figure out they’re bisexual while in a “straight” relationship. like imagine alex unpacking his misogynistic behavior and admitting it was a defense mechanism that resulted from his struggles with his sexuality (trust me when i say this poor sap does not have access to queer education and probably doesn’t know what bisexuality is until the farmer shows up). i want more discussions about the impact his dad had on him! him working through the loss of his mom! his relationship w his grandparents! theres so much depth to alex as a character and for most of the game he’s reduced to a washed up D1 athlete and that’s so fucking disappointing.

So I think Billy qualifies squarely as a vers top. But what the hell category is this…..
