want to be clear that josie does not handle trevelyan having a daughter very well at all. pretty much worse initial reaction than everyone else. she’s like. Oh. I... See. [scrambles to remember what her siblings liked at that age] do you like. dolls? and lilith is like, i’m ten years old. and josephine is like yes, of course, while awkwardly positioning herself between lilith and her own concealed doll collection. do you like... [buffering noises] ... treaties?

#they figure it out #arthur and josie can be as cool and romantic as they want #because they are also cringe dad & lame stepmother #josie strikes me as someone who likes children more in concept than in person. you know #goes awww when there is a baby in the room but does NOT want to hold it #not sure whether that’s lack of experience with them or just who she is #or just in general that she finds people harder to deal with when its personal and you have to deal with the bad as well as the good #the unpleasantness and the grossness instead of the clean polite perfection of handling acquaintances. you know
