#BUT IT'S *A LOT*

[galedekarios]

this is probably going to be controversial and it's not meant to be a slight against gale or people who enjoy that particular headcanon, but:

i love gale, i truly do. but gale would not be great with kids imo. i can't see him as a father. i think i may have talked about this before, but i keep seeing it and while he has many great qualities, this, in my eyes, would not be one of them.

(apart from him saying outright that he doesn't consider himself "father material". which... why is this constantly being dismissed, lol? not wanting yenna to starve or arabella&mirkon not to die does not a good father make.)

he's extremely impatient. he states that several times over. even with the protag ("if the roles were reversed, i don't know if i would have your patience."), and while he does like sharing his knowledge and engaging different types of people from different cultures and walks of life in conversations, to learn, he has again, no patience.

there is a line about him having had students, too, but he does also state in the same breath that their "ineptitudes" irked him. he strikes me more as a professor with older students, who already have some sort of knowledge that he would be able to build on - and even that is sort of reaching tbh imo. what i would find more accurate is him being in the role of some sort of researcher, being able to do things alone and at his own speed. exchanging ideas with colleagues every now and then, perhaps.

so if he already disliked having students, and being annoyed by them, having no patience for them, i just am unsure how this is meant to work out with tiny little kids. again, i just cannot stress enough how much patience you need with children.

there's also other minor stuff like being sensitive about chaos, messes, smells, etc., liking his quiet and solitary time, etc.

all in all, i just think that gale being kind with children you meet in-game, not wishing for them to starve or die, doesn't necessarily translate to being a good parent.

i also think that someone being reluctant - or in gale's case, outright saying he doesn't consider himself the material - is not a great place to start either.

Ace Trappola but

I drew him on one layer because I haven't done it in awhile.

I picture him with the thickest, Scouse accent ever. I picture it being really thick to the point where he's only barely legible.

I agree with the anon that maybe Lisa doesn't really feel like she fits in. I bet it's like a weird mind game for her and Alex. They grew up in this well-to-do well-off lifestyle and it makes you wonder if they both actually wish they were nobody punks that want to be normal. I think if I tell myself that it makes Lisa not seem like such an attention seeker because maybe there's a cry for help in there somewhere. Does that make sense?

It does make sense, but idk. I think Alex might wish he was like that (but he wants a lot of different things: like, he wants to want this farm life, but the second he's there too long, he doesn't, for example). I don't think Lisa even considers another kind of lifestyle, because she's absorbed into it so much. I mean, caviar on Christmas morning? Black tie holiday parties? $100,000 weddings? Come, on. She's totally engrossed.

Asked my best friend if he was going to come visit me next month to go to a fun thing. I'd mentioned it twice already, but got no answer. Today, he responded by telling me that the only way reason he'd show up to see me is if he was giving up on his marriage/running away from his wife.

It sounds so small typing it out, but. He's using me as a crutch. He's essentially been emotionally cheating for years. He's unhappy in his marriage. And I just can't anymore. Maybe it makes me a bad person because he is my best friend and I should be there for him because he's miserable.

But I also just can't sit here and let him use me like this anymore.

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
