FACTS
im so done with seeing articles about kids and screen time that doesnt mention parent behaviors even once. “kids are always on their phones” so are the parents! which the kids look to for how they should behave! ipad babies didn’t chose to only play on their ipads, thats what their parents gave them!
an anecdotal example: when i was a kid, all my parents would do in their minimal free time was watch tv and then they would be surprised when in my sister and i’s minimal free time we would also only watch tv/play video games. they scolded us for not reading books, but they never read books. they scolded us for not going outside but they never went outside.
“kids are always on their damn phones” my mom is in her 60s and opens up candy crush anytime she’s sitting — it isnt just the kids
#technology#mobile devices#text#screen time#parents#role models#I’m honestly worried abt the new generation#abt every time I babysit my nephews I try to play with them or take them outside cuz they’re ADDICTIVE to the tv and their parents enable#that behavior#it’s soo sad#and they behave better when off the screen also their ipads too#oof I did a typo#and like abt EVERTIME their parents run errands or go out of the house me and my sis have to babysit ‘em#like aaarrrgggh#take yo kids#liek ig it’s fine for kids to have unlimited screen time but if they can do their responsibilities and stuff like that and know to#protect themselves online#then again I’m not a parent#So ┐( ̄ヘ ̄)┌

He just wants to be missed
#gravity falls#bill cipher#ford pines#stanford pines#billford#shitpost#the amount of times Bill asks if people will miss him is something he needs to bring up in therapy#did your parents not love you enough Bill?#your issues are showing#ignore the mistakes#I’m too tired to fix them#and honestly not emotionally stable enough#feeling like a piece of shit rn and I haven’t even done anything wrong#…um but#did you guys miss me? 🥺🥺🥺#one day I’m gonna stop posting entirely and wait patiently for the ‘omg are you okay’ messages that will never come in#and then give up and post again#I never said I was any better than him here#I too constantly crave validation from others and really want to be missed

Hello Rise fandom 🤗
#some of my old rise art has been getting attraction again here#and it made me reminisce on some of my old art#particularly my fake Draxum screenshots of the movie#and it made me miss some of my headcanons for the characters#specifically how I believe Leo and Draxum would not get along well as father and son#unlike his brothers who I think eventually would warm up to Barry#so I got thinking what if I’m this moment Draxum was the one to save Leo?#I feel like he’d have a parental instinct (much liek Raph’s older brother instinct) and put his life on the line#and I feel like I’m that moment Leo would have realized how much he meant to Draxum as a son#I went with an angstier vision ofc#but I still executed my vision with this redraw 😤#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rise of the TMNT#ROTTMNT#rise of the tmnt leonardo#rise of the tmnt Leo#rise of the tmnt draxum#rise of the tmnt Baron Draxum#rottmnt Leo#rottmnt Leonardo#rottmnt baron draxum#rottmnt draxum#save ROTTMNT#save rise of the tmnt#art#digital art#my art#fanart#redraw#fake screenshot?

it’s 10pm. do you know who you are?
#this piece is a twist on those old PSAs that used to play on American TV reminding parents to check up on their children#it’s 10pm#do you know where your children are?#I’m co-opting that phrase for this piece and also as a general title for a new comic project#it’s tonally gonna be really different from soliloquy down to three#which was my previous comic project centered around dark sapphic stories#10pm is gonna be really introspective which is kind of cathartic but also has the capacity to send me spiraling again if I’m being honest#so let’s see how this goes#digital art#stillindigo art#its 10pm#stillindigo comics

Prompt 158
Klarion is on a mission. A very important mission of the utmost importance!
He, as the oldest of the family (at least sibling-wise) has been given the sacred task of bringing his baby siblings to find their own familiars! And nothing is going to stop him from seeing this task through! He’s not going to get distracted playing with the Justice League’s Baby Team, nor is he going to try and kick Stupid-Helmet-Head-The-Despised.
He’s going to help Jordan and Ellie find their own familiars, and Phantom-Dad will be so proud of him! Tucker-Dad will be proud too, and his Moms would as well! He’s going to absolutely rock this older-sibling thing!
#dcxdp#dpxdc#prompts#Eternal Quartet#They’re married & their timeline is older than DCs#The 4 saw small baby Chaos Lord and went “Is Anyone going to adopt that”#And didn’t wait for an answer#Dan & Ellie are delighted in having a sibling who is just as chaotic as them#Normally they’d be older than Klarion but Halfas can’t reform from their core into adult forms#They have to fully regrow their bodies from scratch so they emerge as babies again#Halfas are pretty much the Realms versions of phoenixes lmao#Klarion: I have never had parents before and I’m going to make them so proud :)#He’s bringing his new little siblings to so many zoos & animal shelters & YJ keeps *Just* missing them#Hilarious enough it’s either Damian or Billy or both who run into the trio#Either one would join in his mission as chaotic gremlins themselves

and when i write a fic where ponyboy and johnny don’t go to dally after killing bob
johnnys tryna pull pony’s unresponsive self away from bob but ponyboy is wet and cold and scared and probably .3 seconds away from crying and all he knows is darry
darry can make this all go away
darry might be mad again when he sees pony wet at 230am but once he explains maybe he won’t be as mad. if pony’s lucky (he usually isn’t) maybe darry won’t be too angry at him for running out the house
darry will know what to do with the blade. he’ll know if they ought to bury it somewhere or just clean it real good. and if he can’t, well darry had always been real smart he’ll know how to get them out of town
i just
idk man there’s something about a soaking wet ponyboy on the verge of tears (because jesus mary christmas somebody just tried to kill him how is he alive)
and he’s never actually seen a dead body before at least not one that he knows darry made sure him and soda never saw they’re parents mangled bodies, but bob is right there. blood leaking out of him staining the grass red like in that wonderland book he read a while ago.
bob is right there and if pony doesn’t focus, if he quits using his head, he can almost pretend bob is just sleeping, albeit in a weird position
and (for a split second) pony almost wishes it was him instead of bob. he almost wishes bob did succeed in killing him. because pony was unconscious and he was so close to seeing his mama and daddy again. he was so close and he accepted it, drowning wasn’t exactly how he wanted to go out but if he got to see his mama again then oh well. his eyes was closed one moment and the next he’s coughing up water and seeing johnny with a bloody knife
and ponyboy is soaking wet, somebody tried to kill him, he feels like he’s gonna throw up or pass out again, and all he knows is he wants to run to his big brother. he wants him to hold him and tell pony that it’s gonna be okay and that darry will take care of everything
#:/ yeah#i’m writing this for sure#idk how no one else has written it yet :(#the outsiders#outsiders musical#darry curtis#ponyboy curtis#sodapop curtis#he’d be there too of course#but i feel like this would be the moment when darry becomes pony’s hero again#this is when darry becomes his big brother again because#pony would never go to parents for this even if they were alive#bc yk he’s still 14 and prideful af#but darry ?? his hero?? his superman ??#oh there’s nothing he can’t do#the outsiders fanfiction#the outsiders headcanons

Danny’s parents want to kill him and he’s like “f in the chat y’all dinner boutta be so awkward tonight smh”
Ok so I know everyone loves the angsty headcannons where Danny is terrified of his parents cuz they wanna kill him but we’ve had that hot take since 2005 I’m here for a source material revival, the much more entertaining “Danny’s parents want to kill him and he actively doesn’t give a fuck”
CUZ UH, IM REWATCHING THE FIRST SEASON AND I FORGOT HOW GENUINELY BLASÉ HE IS ABOUT MADDIE AND JACK TRYING TO GET HIS ASS ITS SO FUNNY.
Like mom holding a literal ghost gun to his head: eh kinda unphased he even has time to quip, his parents say they wanna tear em to pieces: meh see u guys at dinner, LIKE OUR GUY IS SO UNPHASED HE THINKS THIS SHIT IS FUNNY! (s1 ep. 14 public enemy)
And he’s unphased despite knowing his parents tech works and knowing that his mother is actually a good shot. So like I love angst Danny and y’all should keep up the good work but where is my s1 Danny ‘COULDN’T give less of a fuck about his parents’ Fenton representation?
Cuz think of this, for your DPXDC AU consideration, Danny would fit in so well with the bat gang if only because they could try to stab, shoot, capture, brainwash, and stalk him and he’d be like “oh cool villain of the week shit? Nice, what’re we having for lunch.” He. Wouldn’t. Flinch.
#I’m not saying y’all are writing Danny as pusillanimous#except that I am#give my son his groove back this kid is litterally more afraid of a box ghost then his parents#he’s not a scaredy cat and I feel like rn everyone writes him as one#save the wet cat treatment for Tim y’all let Danny be a funny lil guy again#like he grew up in doofenshmirtz lab he isn’t crying over death threats babes#THIS ISN’T A HOT TAKE SO DON’T TRY TO COME FOR ME#THIS IS ME READING FROM THE DP BIBLE VERBATIM#S1 PRIVELAGES REINSTATED#GET GHOSTED#anyway#like I said I’m rewatching s1#and I forgot how freaking fun it was#not all modern DP is angsty mind you and I’m also not here to say it’s wrong or bad#I’m here to say let’s get that biodiversity back baby#Danny Phantom#dp x dc#a cold take just the coldest

personally I think that all queer books should have a “special edition” with a subtle cover (and a code name if it’s necessary) for all of the people in homophobic areas
#it’s me I’m people#no but seriously we’re out here in the trenches smuggling queer books and desperately hoping our parents/family/friends won’t find out#I have stack of all the queer books I own in a bag underneath a bunch of clothes IN MY ATTIC CRAWL SPACE so that they don’t get found#and the amount of times I’ve had to switch out a cover on one hardback for a cover of a different hardback is insane#my sister thinks I’ve read The Shadows Between Us like 6 times but most of the time it was actually RW&RB#it gets ridiculous#for example#to get RW&RB in the first place my twin had to stuff the book under her shirt while we were in the bookstore#buy it herself in all cash#and then hide it again as we left#so please I am begging for “special edition’’ books like this 🙏😭#literature#lqbtq#queer#queer books#gay#lesbian#trans#bisexual#books and reading#booklr#homophobia#pride month

If we really wanted an Emmy season campaign for 911, look no further than a cold open flashback scene of right after the Diaz parents leave with Christopher, when Eddie and Buck are left standing there in Eddie’s house, bereft at the loss of Christopher (however temporary it may be). Ryan and Oliver would KILL in a flashback of that moment, do you see the vision?
#Eddie begins again#?#more likely than you think#yeah i’m crying#and what about it#eddie diaz#christopher diaz#evan buckley#ramon diaz#helena diaz#the diaz parents#buckley diaz family#buddie#Emmy campaign#starts NOW#ryan guzman#oliver stark#oh they would be so horrendously traumatizing in a scene like this#20 left dead at the scene of the crime etc etc#911#911 abc#9-1-1#9-1-1 abc#911 s7#911 7x10#I’m breaking my own heart with this

rivers speech about loving the doctor while 12 stands there without her knowing never fails to destroy me. she loves him so much and doesn’t believe he loves her back, imagine hearing “it's like loving the stars themselves. You don't expect a sunset to admire you back.” and knowing it’s about you, how do you not break into tears. his soft smile and the look on rivers face when she finally realizes who it is, the way they slip back into their easy banter, the way they’re both ready to sacrifice themselves for the other so readily? i love them dearly, they make me ill
#again my parents fr#river and the doctor fuck me up all the time#but this episode GOT me dude#i’m in tears#i adore them#dr who#doctor who#dw#the doctor#12th doctor#twelfth doctor#river song#the doctor x river song#dr river song#professor river song#doctor river song

I think one of the most interesting ways to write Steve’s parents (or his mom, at least) is as a deeply flawed person with good intentions.
Don’t get me wrong, I love a fic where they’re just bad people. Sometimes that’s all you need for a good story and this is not a criticism of anybody’s interpretation.
My personal preference in writing his parents is as people who are trying to be good parents.
Like, im currently messing around with this AU concept where Steve has a really complicated family dynamic. In it, he has bad parents. His mother made a choice to follow her husband because she thinks it’s the only way to preserve her marriage and thus preserve a good life for her son. It’s not malicious neglect but it is neglect. She’s trying to do the right thing but she’s making the wrong decisions. In the end, she’s still hurting her child.
A couple years ago I wrote this fic about Steve spiraling into a severe depression and his parents are trying to help him. They just don’t listen. They don’t understand what he’s dealing with and they make the wrong choices when trying to help him. Everybody that tries to help him makes the wrong choices, but with the best of intentions. Steve says repeatedly throughout the fic that it’s not his parents fault they don’t know how to be parents.
It’s really fun to write and it’s really cathartic if your relationship with your parents isn’t easy.
#I’m very lucky to have great parents but I don’t have parents who really understand me#so you know…✨inspiration✨#I also have an unfinished companion piece to a fic where Steve is dying#and in the foc Steve talks about his dad going out of town while his son is actively dying#he mentions that his dad had watched both his parents die slow deaths and implies that his parents are killing his in their minds to#make it easier when he actually dies. which isn’t a good to do but it is an incredible hard situation to be in#people don’t make the right choices all the time and I think it’s an interesting place to explore in your writing#again this isn’t like a diss at people who write them as like evil#I do that too. there’s not a lot of depth to his parents in the tiktok saga#steve harrington

today I ended 28 years of abuse.
I packed my stuff and walked in and out of my childhood home for the last time.
And im pressing charges.
wanted to add the pictures of the sunset I took today ☀️
#I’m so scared for this next chapter of my life and I’ve never been more ready#I’m proud of myself#I will never have to deal with this again#thank you to god or universe is who have put good people in my corner to help me with the next steps and my new life#tickle community#ticklee#tickletorture#tickle thoughts#tickle tickle#tickle#tickle content#ticklish#tword community#non tickles#also I’ve lived with partners before I have not lived there most of my adult life but my parents abuse continued and they allowed#and encouraged my serious partners to abuse me as well#I would try to leave and be forced to go back into abusive situations#this is the first time I’m actually free#I paid my first months rent today and I get my keys on Friday#this is so unreal

Headcanon that the boys were first introduced to Lou Jitsu through Splinter scrounging up an old movie to watch through a grainy projector. Splinter wanted to hype himself up at the time, to see a version of himself - however fictional - succeeding and being happy.
He watches, and smiles, mouthing along to the dialogue and outright whisper-shouting “HOT SOUUUP!” whenever it comes up.
Nestled in his lap are his four new sons, still learning the world around them and heavily reliant on their new father. They watch with wide eyes how lively their guardian looks, how happy he sounds, and they turn to watch the movie closely. Because, for as young as they were, they could recognize the source of their father’s joy.
So naturally, they come to associate Lou Jitsu with their father’s smile, and in turn, they feel happy themselves. To them, Lou Jitsu will always be a source of joy, and always make them smile, even if they forget why as they grow.
They’re not just movies for the four of them - they’re the distant memories of a warm lap and a smiling face.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt headcanons#rise splinter#rottmnt splinter#I’m in a turtle tot mood#the babiessss#I know a lot of people like to criticize Splinter’s parenting and like yeah he’s not the BEST#but despite his mistakes I genuinely think he did better than what could or should have been expected of him#like anyone else would not have been able to do it#he can be a little negligent and hurtful at times but I don’t think he was as absent a parent as a lot of you say he is#his flaws are there true but again - he loves his boys so much#that being said it’s no excuse for his mistakes and he should be rightfully called out for them#but sometimes I feel like people really overblow his flaws
