Nanna and Ningal always tried to instill a sense of service and responsibility in their children, an important to always keep working toward a better future. Some of their children took to it better than others but its often why their kids were in positions of power in their pantheon. Justice, judgement, holding positions in death, love, war, nature, etc...their children and grandchildren could rarely be called minor in their duties.
On top of that though, Nanna and Ningal have had a lot of loss in their time. Which is a normal thing obviously. You lose loved ones and people you know over time and it happens when you've lived such a long time. Gods and goddesses come and go, especially when their pantheon was so major for so long and then just...kept dying off.
They've only had two of their daughters pass away, but many of their grandchildren have passed or been killed, while several of their children's spouses have also chosen to pass or been killed. While their family is still large and plentiful, its always painful to remember those they have lost. Some times it hurts so much, that they can't stand to be around those that they should find comfort in. Nanna and Ningal's family are independent and powerful, some times translating in time away from each other and lots of space between them.
While they'll always love each other...events can happen that cause them to not always be there for each other.
#{Nanna -headcanon-}#{Ningal -headcanon-}#~this is just a small tiny headcanon#~it doesn't really explain much but their family dynamics#~its just a bit more of a hint about why they some times dont always talk about their children or why they dont see their children often#~their grandkids even less osme times#~they've had more loss in their grandchildren than their kids#~but that makes it harder for their kids to come see them cause they feel that pressure/guilt about losing their own children#~while Nanna and Ningal would never guilt them or judge them#~its always hard to be under your parents' “scrunity” even if they dont mean it that way
