#or parent/child

I love the idea that young Charlotte and Edwina were very similar (kind, fiercely loyal, generous. trusting, fair, love deeply etc). 

Charlotte is the way she is now out of necessity. Her courtship and marriage were fraught with opposition. Scathing verbal abuse is thrown at her for being a mere noblewoman. She couldn’t remain unaffected when her family was denigrated too. But she held her head high and acted unfazed. She allowed herself to be vulnerable only with her husband. 

But as George’s health deteriorated, Charlotte had to shoulder more responsibilities alone and thus endured more abuse. She wanted to give up often but persisted out of love for him. She became less kind, less caring, less trusting. She juggled the grief of her husband’s illness and ruling a country. She couldn’t afford to be her true self. She couldn’t afford to break down from accusations that she caused her king’s demise. So she cast aside the young woman who felt too much and cared too deeply. 

Over the years, she closed off her heart and found solace in her position. That she was queen. That she held the highest position. That she was an exemplary ruler. Even the ton couldn’t deny that. Charlotte found pride in her work. In how others worshiped her. Slowly her worth became warped in her rank, her power over others, her control over them. 

When Whistledown put this authority in jeopardy, the queen is furious. Who is she to question the queen of England? What did Whistledown know? What did she do for her country? What did she loose for her country? 

When Edwina disobeys her by speaking to the king, Charlotte is astonished. This young woman’s future was in her hands. Yet instead of placating her, Edwina reaches out to a panicked stranger. The ton grovels at her feet to gain her favour. So for this powerless child to defy her out of kindness? Kindness for a man mocked and belittled by others? She reminded Charlotte of what mattered. 

Young Charlotte wouldn’t have stood idle either. Her heart was always too big for her own good. The queen sees Edwina for the first time. A broken child grappling with an impossible situation. So Charlotte give her the power to decide. She gives her control. She gives her the truth. That true love changes. It forgets. It forces you to remember who you once were. And how you will live with it again and again. 

Edwina reminded Charlotte of who she was. Charlotte was the adult Edwina desperately needed (and young Charlotte needed but didn’t have).

a small child came into the café today and asked to buy a chocolate truffle. he tapped a credit card on the reader and it did not go through, mainly because it was not a credit card but in fact a junior cinema pass. i gently explained he couldn't use that to buy things in shops and he looked so gutted that i was like "...but just this once you can have it for free, don't tell my boss though" he said thank you and walked out with his truffle and as he went i heard him chuckling to himself and saying "yes..... yes!!!!!" like the sickos comic

#slightly dotty child or world's most precocious scam artist? you decide. #i asked where his parents were and apparently they were queuing for a table at the restaurant across the street #he even pointed them out to me #so don't worry this was not an unsupervised bébé #be shh now #containment breach

Parents get sooooooo mad when anyone even remotely implies that if we know it negatively impacts adults then it’s probably quite detrimental to the health and development of a young mind to stick an iPad in front of a child any time they show signs of Behaviors. “Are you calling me a bad parent?” Yeah. I am.

#‘if you don’t have kids then you don’t get to have parenting opinions!!’ #well—as a former child of parents—

Annabeth: I, a child, had to earn Thalia’s love, that’s how the world works! I have to earn my moms love. Love is transactional, you gotta be worthy of it first silly :)

Percy, listening to this on the train

#STOP TRAUMATIZING THIS CHILD PLEASE #this is what it’s like when you were raised in a loving home and you find out your friend wasn’t #but they don’t know they weren’t #so you’re like um hey that’s fucked up and sometimes a crime? #you tell them parents are supposed to love you as is without earning it and they don’t believe you #you can hear the therapy bill racking up #annabeth chase #Percy jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #pjo series #pjo tv show #mine #adding on to my tags because some people are debating if that’s how love works #love is meant to be a mutual exchange and something that grows over time between two people as their bond grows #whereas how Annabeth says it #in my opinion at least #she had to do XY and Z to be worthy of thalias love before receiving it #like with her mother #she has to be amazing before Athena is proud of her #vs Athena being proud of her just for being her daughter #that being said I’m not hating on a traumatized child having potentially negative and toxic patterns #more pointing out the comedy of the scene from Percy’s perspective who has a good grasp on healthy vs unhealthy relationships

Crocodile finds a strange stray cat an 11-year old Nico Robin (AU where they met 13 years earlier. Robin's been on the run from the World Government for 3 years. Crocodile's 27 and has not set up base in Alabasta yet)

It seems like I have become possessed. By some sort of demon.

Bonus:

#My art #One Piece #Nico Robin #Sir Crocodile #Y'all the OP brainrot is BAD #According to an SBS Crocodile would absolutely spoil his child rotten if he had one. *We all know how Robin's childhood went* #Scary mofo who does not know how to parent a child but boy does he have the spirit + Child who has never had proper parent in her life #They'd make. An absolute disaster of a duo. This AU concept is so fucking funny to me okay #But also sad because I would fucking die for baby Robin she deserves the fucking world #This poor girl has never been spoiled in her entire life AND NOW PAPADILE IS HERE TO SPOIL HER #You know it's funny. I know 11 yo Robin should LOOK older than 8 year old Robin. But Crocodile is a fucking giant so she's still baby sized #Also I just had too much fun drawing Robin looking as pathetic as humanly possible lmao #She's a like a wet kitten in the rain 😭

are we still doing this because i have a late submission

#🐉 #this is less about fan content and more about that awful lazy one size fits all #'10 years later theyre happily married with a cute little nuclear family' trope #because ive read some genuinely incredible fics about characters who would Not fucking have kids #ending up with accidental pregnancy scares or child acquisitions that get treated with all the nuance #and thoughtful handling they deserve #but also. i reread one of my favourite fics yesterday and when one character jokingly brought up the idea of children #and the other reacted with genuine visceral disgust and said what hideously awful parents theyd be #i lit up like a fucking christmas tree

Kids on the internet now a days are literally wild.. like when I was 12 and on the internet, i was lying out my asshole I was telling people about my kids and my wife. I was talking to them about taxes and how I miss my college days.....now 12 year Olds are out here telling their AGE?!?! OR REAL NAME?!??! I was literally fucking Garry that worked at staples and had 2 children for like 4 years...

#i have so many storys from garry and his family its ridiculous #like where are your parents?!? #Someone get ur child OFF HERE

Jing yuan is the kind of parent who is overtly invested in their kid's interests and thus yanqing is his gen z encyclopedia

#just a silly lil thingy #yes jy is NOT in fact a boomer #he's all hip and he knows all the genz slangs due to yanqing and bailu #it's just that..some explainations weigh down on poor yanqing #my art #aratribow #honkai star rail #jing yuan #hsr jing yuan #hsr yanqing #yanqing #jing yuan and yanqing #parent-child relationship

#I don’t empathize with parents who experienced ‘gender disappointment’ #especially parents who kept trying for a baby if a certain sex after being ‘disappointed’ their older child was not that sex

you know what fuck it we’re doing dadstarion

#bg3 #baldur’s gate 3 #astarion #tavstarion #idk if this is canon to the dorianverse yet but he looks like a little hobbit!!! #this is a Long long long time post brain i think. since they’ve sorted out the daywalker thing #i don’t think he’d be affectionate but i think he’d be VERY protective #they’re not bad parents in the way that they neglect or mistreat him or even just don’t love him #i think they love him to death but you just shouldn’t give your small child a KNIFE #this one is my favourite sister bc she reminds me of robin

i know people make jokes and call percabeth their parents, but they are legitimately the most mom and dad coded characters i’ve ever seen. these two were BORN to be parents. they are literally 17 and already give off ‘married with 3 kids’ vibes

percy, with jeans full of pockets, none of which have anything remotely useful for 99% of situations (but he’s got plenty of jokes!)

and annabeth, with her literal mom purse, packed to the brim with anything that could possibly be needed in any situation

#annabeth’s mom purse is a main character #and i think about it oddly often #they are 17 and already parents #grover is basically their child #percabeth = parents #chalice of the gods #percy jackson #annabeth chase #percabeth #pjo #percy jackson and the olympians #heroes of olympus

Here’s how I want robin in the next battinson movie:

The very first scene is Bruce and tiny Dick Grayson sitting across from each other at the dining table, staring each other down in silence, both clearly grumpy about it. Alfred is in the background watching them with concern. The silence lasts about 20 seconds before Dick speaks.

“Let me fight crime.” (said with all the petulance of a pouty 10 year old)

Bruce replies immediately. “No.” (this is clearly an ongoing argument)

Immediately cut to the next scene where Dick, wearing the iconic Robin suit, is having the time of his life swinging across the city while Bruce frantically tries to keep up with him while yelling at him to be careful like an anxious mother

#just a whole movie of bruce being bullied by this small child he just adopted #being forced to take on a ‘if you’re going to drink then id rather you do it with me’ style of parenting #just back and forth between falling in love with his new son and going ‘why tf did I adopt a child?!’ #batman #robin #battinson #bruce wayne #dick grayson #dc #dc comics #mine

When you call "influencers" what they are, freelance marketers, it makes the phrase "mommy/family influencer" sound just as dark as it is in reality.

They are using their children to sell you things. Some of these people intentionally have children solely in order to use them as marketing devices.

They aren't harmless or wholesome. They are expanding and normalizing new and different forms of familial abuse to a worldwide audience

#did we learn nothing from jon and kate plus eight?? #like watching someone use a tv show to turn her children against their other parent #and then institutionalized and completely abandonded a child for being inconvenient #but no. we had to bring it back en masse

jason, coming back from the dead and seeing tim as robin: how could bruce replace me? how could he give robin to someone else?

dick, who created robin in honor of his dead parents and then had bruce take it away and give it to jason without even asking him:

#no hate to jason it’s not his fault bruce is emotionally inept #bruce: ah yes let me take away my teenage son’s coping mechanism that he made to honor his parents #and without asking or telling him give it to a random child i adopted #who has never met him before #and not explain the significance of the name or costume at all #LIKE #HOW TF DID HE THINK THAT WAS OKAY??? #dc comics #dc #dcu #batman comics #jason todd #dick grayson #tim drake #bruce wayne #robin #robin!dick #robin!jason #robin!tim #red hood #nightwing #batman
