#whether it’s ‘Hilda’s dad sucks but it’s ok bc she has family outside of him’

[blaithnne]

For the record I’m not against the dad showing up! I’m not against the dad being a good person who begins taking an active role in Hilda’s life, that’s fine! It’s the idea of him getting back with Johanna specifically that I dislike, for various reasons. Which I need to type up bc THEYRE HARD TO EXPLAIN LMAO

If Hilda season 3 involves Johanna getting back together with Hilda’s biological dad I think it’ll be over for me. Sadie dead thousands injured

“#in summary it’s like. the way it’d make Hilda’s family nuclear, #the heteronormative values it would promote, #the way it would leave the unintentional message of, ‘look how at how much Johanna struggled as a single mum. don’t worry now the dads here to fix it!’, #plus it’s just something that. doesn’t happen irl, #and so promotes a bad message/false hope to kids in similar situations, #whereas if there’s a positive outcome outside of that it’s actually feasible, #whether it’s ‘Hilda’s dad sucks but it’s ok bc she has family outside of him’, #or “’Hilda’s dad previously sucked but now he’s making the effort to be better’, #tbh I would especially prefer something that places the agency on Hilda, #not in a she has to all the work kinda way but in a. this is on her terms kinda way, #not just the dad showing up like hey I’m gonna be a proper dad now, #you have no say in this, #lmao, #yeah. I will write this up properly eventually”
