"and… jee never expected to have kids… but here we are…"

Sorry for the long post, but I am compelled to come out of lurking for a moment because your incredible artwork and comments have filled me with THOUGHTS.

Ok, so Lt. Jee strikes me as the kind of man who knows exactly what kind of sacrifice/emotional intelligence/patience/etc.etc. is required to be a good parent and never wanted kids for that reason, but he also ALSO would make a good parent precisely because he knows how hard it SHOULD be. Like, maybe he won't be the most playful parent, but you can bet your fire nation minimum wage he'll always put the kid first and try hard to avoid unintentional damage.

But this is a lot more difficult than it sounds esp if you don't want to condition the kid into becoming a brat with low empathy, or a persistent perfectionist, or a child with poor emotional regulation, or a child with low-self esteem and general anxiety, or a clinically depressed child with high personal suppression and low trust, or an attention-seeking child with low impulse control, or a child with persistent unresolved anger, or a compulsive people pleaser, or a parentified child, or a neglected child who uses masking to survive, or a highly (and inappropriately) self-reliant child, or a complete doormat. The number of ways and permutations you can screw up parenting--esp during a global war--are limitless!

I think all this is why the "feral-child-falls-into-tired-man's-lap" is such a popular trope for Jee. He knows what it takes and absolutely doesn't want it, but unforseen circumstances will force him to meet his own standards. The kids he gets in fanfiction are *always* pre-packaged with severe trauma, which serve the common fanon narrative of premature aging and wry comedy with feels. I think he might also serve the readers' fantasy of how they wish they were parented by a male figure. For some readers, Jee further provides 10/10 husband material with no love interest in the text or art (because the reader/viewer is the silent, non-participstory "love interest"). It's his very specific market carve-out in fanart and ao3, which is why your most recent fanart is shaking all of us!

oh!

okay, this is a great analysis, my compliments and awe to you.  I apologise for the minor earthquake the image may have caused.

I am personally weak for these kinds of stories but it doesn't always have to adoption. idk just adults doing their job. odd that it seems to be a fantasy. 

I do agree that jee would take it awfully seriously. with all of this. I want to add. yes, kids are a big responsibility. and I believe jee will overthink things a little. but it is human to fail. he is not perfect I guess that is something he is dreading. doesn't matter if it is a toddler in his arms or a feral teenager standing next to him. the moment jee realized they are in his care it's over.

thank you for this ask!

Eine Holztreppe mit Podest und versteckten Wangen ist dezent verbaut 💒 und auf den ersten Blick 🧐 kaum als solche erkennbar. Ein Handlauf aus Edelstahl fügt sich gemeinsam mit dem Eichenholz perfekt in den Raum ein.

Ulla-Operation

Kaum ist Ulla im Krankenhaus, wird sie auf die Unfallschäden untersucht. Es sieht nicht gut aus. Beide Beine sind mehrfach gebrochen. In Ulla wird reichlich Titan seinen Platz finden. Ulla braucht später sicher Hilfe zu Hause. Ihr sechster Stock scheint jetzt schwer erreichbar. Lucca überlegt. Eine Wohnung in tiefer Lage wird gebraucht. Gleichzeitig sind diese Wohnungen aber leichte Ziele der…
