A Series of Mini Letting Go’s

Daily writing promptWhat is the last thing you learned?View all responses Parenting is a journey of constant learning—one filled with joy, heartache, and moments that change you forever. If there’s one thing I’ve truly learned as a mother, it’s that I will always worry about my daughter. Not in a negative way, but in the sense that I’ll always wonder if she’s okay, if she’s being treated kindly,…

The Heart of Humanity: Family and Connection

What relationships have a positive impact on you? Love in its purest form—grounded, connected, and surrounded by the ones who matter most. For me, it’s my wife and kids—they’re the ones who remind me what it means to truly be human. With them, I find a sense of grounding and connection that nothing else can replicate. My wife embodies the beauty of partnership. She reminds me how two people…

My 11-year-old couldn't decide what flavor of ramen to make, so I told her to flip a coin. Heads for spicy chicken, tails for beef.

Taking my advice, she flipped a penny, and when it landed on tails she said "Wait! Wait! I did it wrong!"

I told her that she did it right, because the real reason for flipping a coin isn't to let fate decide for you, but because when the coin is in the air, you will suddenly realize what you wanted in the first place.

I'm sure there's a life lesson there somewhere…

But honestly, I have never known her to pass up spicy chicken.

no actually you’re either gentle parenting your child or you’re being emotionally and/or physically abusive to them, whether or not you’re aware of that.

because the term gentle parenting already includes discipline and teaching your kid right from wrong. gentle parenting doesn’t mean you can’t tell your kid no. it means you can tell them no when they do something they shouldn’t, but instead of punishing or yelling at them, you’re explaining and giving them reasons why they can’t do that, you are helping them learn and encouraging them to be better. gentle parenting means you’re using reasons built on mutual respect instead of anger. because yes, no matter how young your child is, they deserve respect too.

I’m sorry but most of the times when someone says they’re a strict parent, what it means is that they give their child childhood trauma that’ll last a lifetime, whether or not they’re aware of it. especially parents who brag to other people about how strict they are and how they punished their children.

and I’m sorry but saying you have a short temper is never an excuse to be emotionally and/or physically abusive towards your kid either.

“I yelled at you because I have a short temper” then why am I the one suffering? if you can’t control your anger, then get help. work on it. do better. be better.

also… your child standing up for themself against you, when you’re being abusive to them, isn’t them being disrespectful towards you. it means they are defending themself because you wouldn’t do that for them and so they had to step in and be their own protector.

if you’re a parent and can defend and stand up for yourself when you feel like you need to, but at the same time punish your kid when they stand up for themself against you, then you are the problem.

I was that child and I’m gonna make it as simple as I can for any parent out there — because no kid deserves to go through what I went through — imagine yourself owning a dog. really. you can either

a.) beat that dog whenever they do something wrong and simply take your anger out on them until they’re fully submissive and are terrified of you

or

b.) train them with love and gentleness and earn their love and loyalty in return

now imagine both A and B dogs on leashes and imagine them no longer being on leashes one day. which dog do you think will run away as far as they can and never look back, and which one do you think will stay because they love and want to be with their owner?

Al was kind enough to lend their cosplay skills to our Ides of March display this year. They're very talented, especially for someone without any skin or muscle!

Melanthius x amphinomus love child. Don’t ask how they were conceived, that’s for you to figure out. Athan is the working name I have.

He has the scary eyes that like do a creepy stare in the dark

he has the personality of amphinomus but is a tad less patient and has slight anger issues

Omg i love him this is my son

Melanthius : ... amphinomus you birthed the prettiest child i've ever seen. you're making me the happiest and proudest father alive.

Also melanthius when his kid makes the slightest mistake : *beats his ass*

Amphinomus wouldn't let him beat his ass and they would get into arguments about how to educate their child.

Levi: How long is this cold shoulder thing gonna last? [Robin rolled his eyes-.. for as long as it took to take responsibility and apologise for being a dickhead, maybe? But saying that would ruin the whole point of his experiment, so he remained silent] Levi: C’mon-.. you’re stressing me out. [Robin scoffed; he understood why he was like this, but Levi’s victim complex was starting to piss him off] Levi: It wasn’t my fault Penny-… Aster: Levi. Levi: What?! Aster: Leave him alone. Levi: I’m not doing anything! Aster: Just give him a break, okay? You’re-… Levi: Shut the fuck up, Aster-.. I didn’t say shit! [Aster kept his mouth shut as Levi shoved him and stomped off, regaining his balance with a slight air of embarrassment] Aster: Was he giving you a hard time? [Robin shook his head vaguely, not wanting to get involved with whatever was going on between Aster and Levi on top of everything else] Aster: I don’t know what’s gotten into him lately. [Robin offered Aster a loose shrug; he wouldn’t have spelled it out, even if he could’ve] Aster: I told them all to stop bothering you, but… [Robin nodded understandingly; easier said than done] Aster: Well, uh… [Aster hovered for an awkwardly lengthy amount of time, thinking of a million things to say but uttering nothing] [Robin forced a smile in lieu of speaking, hoping it’d be enough to dismiss Aster or at least remind him how to use his legs so he could finally use the bathroom in peace] Aster: Okay-.. see you.

ok i know everyone's always like "bakugou is so the weeknd coded" or "bakugou def listens to pierce the veil".

however.

i like to headcannon that katsuki bakugou is actually a freaking classical music nerd.

before you start throwing tomatoes at me, i always imagine this little scenario:

katsuki bakugou is in his room, tensely studying (prob using flash cards because nerd), when all of a sudden, denki bursts into his dorm room.

"hey bakugou!! we're all hanging out for lunch today!"

...

"bakugou? can you hear me?"

katsuki sits in focus, his large noise cancelling headphones doing their job by cancelling out denki's voice.

when all of a sudden, denki sneaks up on bakugou and snatches the headphones right off his head. denki puts the headphones on his own head and starts listening, only to say...

"wow bakubro, i didnt know you were into... ballerina music?"

katsuki stands up and slams his hands onto his desk. he grabs denki by the collar, grabbing the headphones, and puts them back on.

he yells at denki,

"THIS IS VIVALDI'S FOUR SEASONS CONCERTO IN G MINOR DUMBASS. GET OUT OF MY ROOM"

ok end scene this was a really stupid thought and i def couldve written this better but

Necessary in these days of online craziness...

the kids wouldn't be "traumatized" if they didn't do a really stupid and dangerous thing. this "trauma" is what's going to keep them alive. better that than be a statistic.

"the reason adrien is just instantly good at everything he tries is because he is programmed to be that way as a senti" aside from the fact that i don't think that's how it works (and also while he was decent at everything he tried with marinette he wasn't instantly good at all of them, and what marinette actually said to him was that he could improve in anything with practice but it was a great first attempt) did we all collectively forget about how adrien actually canonically isn't the best singer?

Bruce: Do you need help on your science project?

Little fourteen year old Jason Todd stands in across from Bruce and crosses his arms in offense: No, I don't need help.

Bruce: Are you sure?

Jason, whose voice hasn't gone through puberty yet: Yes! Because I'm a man now!

(he's got a singular hair on his chin that he's was very proud of discovering)

Bruce in his head: Don't laugh, don't laugh, don't laugh.

Bruce: I can still help you though. As an adult, it's considered more mature to ask for help when you need it.

Little Jason uncrosses his arms with only a little skepticism: Oh. Okay. Then man to man, can you help me test which of these moisturizers is the least shitty?

Bruce: Always.

They don’t want us to struggle but then get mad when we aren’t struggling like they did.
