hi
hcs
are they accurate?
- They’re the power couple to end all power couples, even before having kids
- They give Rhys and Feyre a run for their money but we don’t pit Kings and Queens against Kings and Queens in this house and anyways, I digress
- Cardan loves his children
- Naturally, of course, but he has no solid father figure to help him figure out this whole parenting thing
- So he’s nervous about it the first time, of course
- But Jude reassures him over and over that he’s going to be great and he has to believe her
- She wouldn’t say it if it wasn’t true - right? ’,:/
- And by the time kid number three rolls around, Cardan has this dad thing down pat
- He wrestles with his kids all the time, both his sons and his daughters
- One of his sons has a little tail
- Said son is in love with his dad’s tail and Cardan doesn’t mind it when his little hands play with the tuft of hair on the end
- Cardan teaches his son how to use it for balance and how to pick up small things with it
- Cardan’s daughter gets jealous that she doesn’t have a tail, too
- It stuns Cardan at first, because all he can remember about his childhood is being absolutely humiliated because of his tail and here is his little girl telling him she wishes she had one just like it
- He almost cries but Jude saves the day
- “Let the boys have their tails,” she says, “My little girl and I have matching ears.”
- And it’s true. Jude and Cardan’s daughter has dull ears like a mortal
- But she also has vibrant, purple eyes so she isn’t worried about not looking like a faerie
- Cardan and Jude parent like they rule the kingdom: efficiently and kindly, but stern when needed
- Cardan is usually the first to get stern
- His kids know by now that whenever Dad looks at them in a certain way, they better shape up
- Like all kids, they’re thoroughly disgusted by how in love their parents are
- Their daughter(s) think it's so romantic and wonderful but their son(s) always stick their fingers down their throat whenever they see Dad kiss Mamma
- Bedtime stories are very much a thing
- Cardan will make up a story and then recruit Jude to help him finish it and she has to pretend like she knows how it ends
- Neither of them knows how it ends
- Jude does the voices for all the girl characters and Cardan voices the men
- But because Cardan is literally making the story up as he goes, Jude has to improvise 100% of her lines
- They make it work
- Some of the stories told at bedtime are the best stories faeries had ever had the privilege of hearing
- Sometimes, though, they stick to more traditional stories and read from books
- Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a unanimous favorite
- Cardan likes to carry his children on his shoulders or on his back
- It’s just efficient
- It’s not a strange sight to see the High King of Elfhame walking through the palace with a toddler in his arms, a two year old on his back, a four year old on his shoulders, and a set of twins running behind him
- I have no idea how many kids those two end up having. They’re unhinged and unpredictable
- But the kingdom adores the Greenbriar children
- All the kids are so well-mannered that it’s no trouble liking them or getting along with them
- Some of them are shyer than others so they’re more likely to hide in Jude’s skirts during a party but the kingdom still gushes over them
- The kingdom also likes the change in pace with how many kids the King and Queen have ;)
- Children are a happy, happy thing and Jude is a mortal woman, so she gives the kingdom tons of reasons to be happy
- It’s almost a little overwhelming both for Jude and the citizens
- The citizens don’t know how to handle being this happy this often
- And Jude still finds it a little odd how strangers will be moved to tears over the fact that she’s pregnant...again
- Cardan uses it to tease her because he’s fucking Cardan and why wouldn’t he
- “It’s about time we give the kingdom another celebration, don’t you think?”
- Cue Jude glaring at her husband and reminding him that the child she is currently breastfeeding is a mere five weeks old
- Cardan kisses the child and then his wife and says, “That’s fair. I’ll give it another month.”
- Jude kicks him because her hands are busy, but she’s laughing
My dear you have way too much time on your hands.
And considering we are no where near having kids, I really don’t know.

i have made an important discovery. the gangsey and the backyardigans are the SAME. like i’m entirely convinced that maggie watched the show and was like yeah i could write a book about that
here are the Literal character descriptions from wikipedia:
— blue:
“Uniqua is a pink-spotted creature who is curious, self-confident, and adventurous. She likes to tell jokes and make her friends laugh. She wears pink, polka-dotted overalls and has a pair of swirled antenna on top of her head. She usually imagines herself having roles that require brains and courage, such as a scientist or pirate captain. She is the only main character to appear in every episode.”
— gansey:
“Pablo is high-strung, frenetic, and tends to overreact. He wears a blue bow tie and a propeller beanie. Due to his energy and impetuousness, he often goes into a "panic attack" when he faces an obstacle, running around in circles and telling everyone not to worry until someone gets his attention by calling his name three times. Pablo's panic attacks became less prominent after Season 1, though in the later episode "The Flipper!", his propensity for getting overexcited is the main plot point.”
— ronan:
“Tyrone is a red-haired orange moose who is laid-back and cool-headed. He wears a red and blue striped shirt. He is best friends with Pablo, and he is almost the complete opposite of Pablo in terms of personality, with his calm and easy going character. Tyrone is known for his sarcastic comments, one of them being ‘That certainly was convenient.’”
— adam:
“Tasha is a strong-willed yellow hippopotamus who is rational, skeptical, and highly motivated to get her own way. Tasha wears red Mary-Jane shoes and an orange dress with a flower pattern. She is the most serious of the Backyardigans, though she can be just as easy going as the others from time to time. Her catchphrase is ‘Oh, for goodness sakes.’ Nickelodeon describes Tasha as ‘deceptively sweet’ and ‘tough-as-nails.’”
— noah:
“Austin is a shy but fun-loving purple kangaroo. In Season 1, he is reserved and soft-spoken due to recently moving into the neighborhood. In later episodes, Austin becomes more outgoing and is revealed to be smart and imaginative. Austin rarely appears in the spotlight, but takes the role of the lead character in several episodes. described as ‘the one pulling up the rear. He's kind of a get-along guy.’”
