aunts are god’s perfect creatures

#they need to put 'having a rich childless aunt whose love-language is gift-giving' on the buzzfeed privilege quiz #lolol but aside from that i actually love my aunt so much. coolest and most normal woman in the world #when she and my mother visit together i generally say 'my parents are coming' #one year for her birthday i actually did text her sth like 'you're the father i never had' and she was like #i don't know what this means but i sense it is positive so thank you' #also should be noted she was by far the most normal of my family members wrt my coming out! the rare cis person with object permanence #i was like 'i know it's a big change but--' and she was like 'it's still you' yes god exactly thank you #also she was like 'i really like how you're thinking about this. it seems like you put a lot of careful and intelligent and creative thought #into this' and i was like dude omg thank you noticing this IS a pursuit of intellectual discovery among other things! #her apt was train accessible from my school so i used to spend a lot of time there just like eating all of her cheese slice by slice #ALSO i come from a long line of younger siblings #both my parents are younger siblings and on my mothers side both HER parents are younger siblings and my great-grandma is a younger sibling #so i was deeply and terribly misunderstood as an older sibling of course #but my aunt is my mother's older sister so i'd be like 'augh brother is being so annoying. tell me was mom this annoying as a child? #i have to imagine yes' and she'd be like 'literally yes' #imagine if a colorful butch lesbian was also a straight woman and spoke with a cartoon russian accent and was the most competent person #to ever walk the earth #that is my aunt
