In fics we always talk about the fam going to Dick's house when they have problems or if they're worried about Dick, but what if they went to his house for the most nonsensical things, y'know? Like what if Tim accidentally left his cheese in Dick's fridge and he popped on over like, "Give me my cheese," and then he ended up stealing a piece of Dick's pizza on the way out the door.

when my house burned down, my mom and stepdad showed up with clothes for my dad and stepmom and toys for my siblings. my friends threw me a surprise party and put together photo albums for me to replace the ones i'd lost in the fire. our neighbours shielded us from prying media. we rebuilt the house on the same piece of land. anyway all to say that i can't wait to see the 118 extended family do all of that for the grant-nash family.

Not sure if this has been touched on before, but do you have any h/cs on like. The rest of the von Karmas we don't see in canon? Franziska's other parent, her older sibling, MvK's past partners, etc? (Sorry if that's too broad skdjfhd I'm just genuinely wondering if you have any headcanons locked and loaded)
unfortunatellllyyyyy because we get nothing of them in canon that means they are venturing into OC territory and i have never had an original thought in my life, like i cannot flesh out or make characters for the life of me fghfsgg
all i have to go on are my vague kin memories which are terribly sad and i don't think anyone wants to hear them xD

We have a grapevine growing on a wall of the garden. Sadly, it's the wall that gives on to the street, and because the grapes can be accessed through the grating, asshole kids and sometimes adults too think it's free for all and reach inside our house to steal the grape. The problem is that in doing so, they destroy the vine, tearing off leaves and branches and crushing the fruits.
Now, my dad is a farmer and a gardener. Plants, his garden, his fields, they're all his life, especially lately, with what my mother has done. So, he's very protective of the vine, keeps an ear and an eye out for it when he's home and asked my sister and I to watch for it too.
Whenever he catches someone stealing the grapes, he yells at them, and on a couple of occasions, even tore out of the house running after them... barefooted. Yeah.
Kids in the village have also started calling him "[Name] the Madman" to his face, insulted him by saying "that's the man who's been left by the French woman" (again, very much hating my mother this summer).
I've seen my father cry more times in the past two months than in whole my life. Do you have any idea how hard it is to see your father so emotionally, mentally and physically destroyed by the selfish cruelty of someone you thought you could trust with your entire being?

The appearance of imminent evangelical victory was deceptive. Although the twin crises of 1536-7 had been the springboard for evangelical ascendancy in the short term, in the long term they had damaged the cause of reform. As a result of the Boleyn affair Cromwell's grip on the council had been weakened. The execution of Anne's brother Rochford had removed his principal noble supporter there, the man best placed to offset the anti-Cromwellian feelings of conservative noblemen like the Duke of Norfolk. Certainly, he still had Foxe, Cranmer, and Audley, but Foxe had died a couple of weeks before the arrival of the German ambassadors in May 1538, Cranmer was of limited value as a political operator [sans Anne Boleyn] and Audley was too politically weak. At court, Cromwell's faction was rather more secure, but even there the lack of a close alliance with the Queen, the kind he had enjoyed with Anne, most probably weakened him, too. Finally, the long-term situation of the evangelicals in the Church had been shaken by the Pilgrimage of Grace. Although Cromwell had worked to pack it with fellow evangelicals, the Pilgrimage of Grace had sown the first seeds of doubt as to the wisdom of continued reform. The Bishops' Book of 1537, diluting as it did the crypto-Protestantism of the Ten Articles of the previous year, was the first sign that the Pilgrims had achieved some success in slowing the pace of reform.
