#absentee parents

[dsmsw]

Favorite part of the Electric Sound interview: Neil’s dad letting a pre-teen version of Neil loose in London unsupervised.

While I think absentee parenting can be a real thing, I am thinking more and more that…well things can be more complicated. Some behaviors of these parents may be made out of necessity…and in this case, maybe Neil’s dad trusted him…small tangent.

we need more hero/arch-nemesis duos whose backstory is being bitterly, bitterly divorced

This is not meant to be a dig more just an observation at why opinions differ, but I feel like the people who view Dick as being a fatherly figure to Damian/them having a Parent-Child dynamic vs a Older Sibling-Little Sibling dynamic don’t know what it’s like to have siblings that are waaaaaaaay older than you in a big family! They may take on a more guardian role but it’s still a different dynamic idk

Eddie is doing a zoom interview from the comfort of his bed because reward for being eaten by demobats is a chronic pain. He trails off mid-answer when his eyes flicker to something beyond the camera and then he says, “I’m filming right now.”

You can hear Steve off-camera ask, “Filming me?”

“No.”

“Then I don’t care.”

Eddie looks back at the camera and says, “Can you repeat the question? My husband walked into the room stark ass naked and it distracted me.”

“I’m getting dressed!”

what if i said hal's mom called him "hally" specifically as a play on halley's comet, huh. what if i said she did that because she knew no matter how far he went, he'd always come back to her, hm. what then.

The funniest thing that no one talks about when discussing the Nakamori x Kogoro ship is how Conan lives with Kogoro, and Kaito is basically Ginzo's adopted son and the two would have to interact if their respective paternal figures suddenly got together. Imagine them moving in together or just getting serious with dating... Ran and Aoko are best friends already. Conan is squinting in suspicious incredulity at Kaito (if he knows KID looks so much like him, if not he'd figure it out pretty quick) and Kaito is trying to subtly inch away from the murder magnet child in case he kicks a soccer ball at him.

Meanwhile, with Kogoro and Ginzo:

Ginzo: And this is Kaito-kun. He's our neighbor and a very talented aspiring magician. His mother is basically never around, so I hope you don't mind him being around a lot. The kid needs some parental presence in his life... And he's my little Aoko's best friend... I couldn't not

Kogoro: Fucking absentee parents. The brat is Conan, his parents are using us as a babysitting service. I swear, he didn't even get one call from them in two months. By this point he's mine too...

I actually really enjoy the fact that FCG seems to be straight up pissed at D for selling them to Dancer. It makes sense--from FCG's POV, D effectively sold him like a pile of scraps to Dancer, inadvertently placing FCG in a position where they had no concept of their own personhood, where they had no identity other than servitude. In the same way that FRIDA was angry with the gods for their awakening, FCG is angry with D. For bringing him back, but taking no responsibility for guiding him or teaching him or helping him in any meaningful way. How beneficial is it to fling a baby bird from its nest before it's even opened its eyes? Not very.

FCG choosing to reach out to Dancer instead of D? The safer option to them. Yeah, they should probably lay off of Dancer after everything that happened, yeah continuing to seek her forgiveness right now isn't really the move. But it is, perhaps, less fraught in FCG's eyes to approach Dancer and simultaneously more meaningful to them. D, to FCG, is just someone who could have brought them back (or had someone else awaken them if need be) and stick around to tell him what he is and why he was awakened. Who could have assured him of his personhood from the first. D did none of that. Dancer, alternatively, practically raised him, even if it was a deeply flawed relationship. Seeking that forgiveness and connection to her, no matter how misguided, makes a lot of sense

guys, my autistic ass brain has come up with a new idea.

hear me out.

twilight stuilly.

billy is our edward here obviously, that man screams vampire to me.

but at the same time i feel like his parent situation is more applicable in being able to write him as our bella.

and then theres the whole issue of who the other members of our vampire family would be.

[sylvies-chen]

just because athena didn’t help annabeth but poseidon helped percy doesn’t mean he’s dad of the year like that man probably knew full well that helping percy would make him look good and athena look bad pffttt

I love that stede acknowledged he was a shit dad actually like they don't woobify the fact that he is just. Not a very good father. I am not being sarcastic when I say I love it.

Ghost Laena: Have you looked after our girls Daemon?

Daemon: No, but to be fair honey, you did set yourself on fire. It was always going to be downhill from there.
