#Mum - can you tell me

[calamitys-child]

My purpose and singular mission in life is to make sure queer and/or neurodivergent kids know that sometimes it really is their parents who are stupid and other adults are on their side. This, unfortunately, does not make me popular with their parents. Gonnae keep doing it though.

#kid was very overwhelmed by the theatre environment and panicking and didnt want to see the show cause it looked scary #and the mum was trying to get me to tell the kid its not scary (no i dont lie to kids i told her there are lots of funny bits but a couple #of maybe scary bits too) #and I told her hey listen the bravest thing you can do is tell people you arent comfortable somewhere. youve done so well to do that #and i gave her a program so she can learn more and make an informed decision if she wants to come another time #and i asked her what her favourite things are and she said science and animals and i told her to try the museum its super fun #and her mum was all 'ugh shes a nightmare she's ~on the spectrum~' #and i went yeah me too. and told the kid this isnt for everyone and she did well to tell me and i hope she likes the museum #and like. her mum yelling at her was making everything worse. talking to her like a person with agency? #got her from full panic attack to actively smiling at me in under 5 minutes #sometimes your parents or guardians are in fact being stupid or rude! neurodivergent adults exist! other people see you and hear what you're #saying and won't be mad! #anyway. now IM very overwhelmed but i really hope that kid remembers this and i hope she has a great day #im going to get a coffee and sit under a tree for a while

If I were Linda and my 16 year old son was sitting at home, with red rimmed eyes, both his friends there, when I was meant to pick him up from school to go to the police station to report a crime done to him, refusing to go now and saying ‘if everyone’s just going to protect themselves and their families, then I’m going to do the same’ I would have so many questions. Soooo many questions. Come on Linda, I know you don’t like confrontation but come on!!

#Simon my love what is going on can you please tell me wtf is going on #see #even I can do it and I’d make a terrible mum #anyway #young royals silly thoughts #just simon things #just linda things #god this was a long sentence does this even make sense

Post-revolution Annie just posts random videos of Finnick and their son on the internet and they always go viral because people have only ever seen Finnick as playboy extraordinare and now they see Finnick being a dumbass father who's trying his best and it's very endearing and 90% of the time the camera pans out to an unimpressed Johanna or Katniss and it's great

#the hunger games #finnick odair #katniss everdeen #annie cresta #johanna mason #listen he's trying #he's never done anything like this before #he needs a minute #finnick ringing his mum like “MUM THE BABY IS CRYING ALL NIGHT WHAT AM I DOING WRONG 😭” #“mum he reached for my lobster can he have it” “finnick hes 6 weeks old” #“mum is he meant to be throwing himself off every surface??” “i mean you did so take that as you will” “NOT HELPFUL” #“can i take him swimming yet?? i want to show him the sharks 😁😁” “finnick hes 2 months old ffs” #Annie's just watching the chaos and texting Finnick's mum like “sorry mum dont stress it I got this” #Finnick's mum just sat there like “at least one of you knows wtf is going on” #jokes on her annie just has a million parenting books she flips through to answer her questions before heading to google #annies search history includes 'how old til baby can visit ocean' #'can i make baby food out of anything' #'how to tell my husband that hes doing fine but holding the baby like that is going to send me into a coma'

Fascinated by how many people are picking the Daycare Attendant on that poll, I would have been soo scared of Sun

#i think sun would've liked me though which is a fun thought #i was always like the least chaotic to the point of always having to wrangle in the other kids my age #some of my earliest memories are... demanding a toddler my age to drop a sharp object #running after my friend who was ringing all the doorbells while i apologized to every person who answered their door #stopping a for-fun rock fight. twice at least #walking my friend home and comforting them after they got hurt #my mum also told me i've never thrown a temper tantrum in my entire life #oh telling my friends not to play by the fast river or frozen pond. yes i KNOW it's ice. it can BREAK. AND THE POND'S ON PRIVATE PROPERTY #[softly] why are you climbing so high up the tree #ohhh right yeah i forgot i also ended up having to help that kid get back down off the tree. just remembered #i was not the fuck around and find out kid. i wasn't about to let anyone else find out either #I COMPLETELY WENT OFF COURSE INTO NOSTALGIA. EXCUSE ME. my point WAS... i would have made it my goal to help with Sun's job #still wouldve been a little scared of him though

I’ll be honest with you, it rubbed me the wrong way that Ted’s mum came all the way to England to tell Ted that Henry misses him. As if it was Ted that decided that what he wanted most in the world was to go to another country to coach a team, in a sport he knows nothing about. When he did that because of the suggestion of his now ex-wife and their therapist, his ex-wife’s now boyfriend. And yes, he decided to stay, because he wants to finish what he started which is an admirable quality but it wasn’t really what he wanted in the beginning was it?

The audacity of his mother to show up unannounced and tell him that his son misses him. While being kind of a shitty parent herself. The whole showing up without saying anything, not going to see him coach his team on a game day, the whole “your son misses you”, clearly not picking up on how uncomfortable Ted is with her just showing up.

I don’t know I just hated it. But I am glad that he got to tell her off for how she has behaved in the past and present. But yeah… something about that whole thing just annoyed the crap out of me.

#ted lasso spoilers #ted lasso #nicole watches stuff #I always have been a champion for him to stay in England #which I know wouldn’t happen but I think that would be best for him #because I feel like the whole thing with Henry could be worked out #also the whole embarrassing him by telling everyone stories about him #and not all of the stories being true like stop #I know that there’s this ‘’oh parents embarrass you and it’s kind of their job’’ #but I don’t know I think it’s strange that she decides to tell these stories and they’re not even true #also the fact that Ted makes a reference to the Daily Mail in relation to his mum… yikes #yes he says that Rebecca should work for the Daily Mail but it’s because she’s kind of siding with his mum #in that ‘’the truth can get away of a good story’’ #so you know… that’s great #and also like I don’t hate Ted’s mum or anything it just the way she acted annoyed me and I don’t feel that we got a satisfying enough #conclusion to their ‘’fight’’ #I’ll get over it #*in the way of

You know you’re in deep in an au when you’re thinking about completely inconsequential details that logically you would never put in writing or if you did it would be like a single throw away line at best because they truly add nothing and there’s no reason to mention it

… anyway Harry definitely has a far more punk style in the Astoria cross over and it’s hilarious watching him next to his parents.

#the elf talks #harry potter #astoria fates kiss #rando looking Harry up and down: let me guess daddy issues? #Harry: I mean??? no? I don’t have a living father but my bibi and mum are great I lvoe my parents :D #but also #Harry seeing JD for the first time: they are everything I want to be #Alex: Please p l e a s e no… or if you do at least tell me first so I can be there to bail you out

#idk about you guys but i find something deeply poetic in the fact that godfather and bottoms are like. in the same convo #rwrb got pushed to 10th place when i remembered that i did actually watch the godfather trilogy this summer #hate to give a coppola some credit but the godfather is a classic for a reason #it even kept my mum (the jane austen addict who hates blood and violence) invested and awake for the full run time #marry me with jlo and owen wilson got pushed down to 11 when i remembered die hard asdfghj #the ones who got away (2023 releases) are joy ride and scrapper. and aftersun. and past lives #if i have to pick a fave it's rye lane #it was just so iconic in every way #the script the visual story-telling the characters #the peckham of it all #also quite funny how obviously i gravitate towards a movie of colour #like. white people can make great art and i'll likely get to it #but i've spent a whole lifetime seeing those movies and now i'm gonna go out of my way #to make sure i watch all the movies of colour that interest me #polite society and they cloned tyrone and rye lane really just tick all the boxes for me #in terms of like. sci-fi/magical realism within the plot or the visual choices #i really mourn the lack of attention they got but i also know neither of them got a cinema release in sweden #and neither of them got any kind of substantial promo in sweden #so i can only assume it's a similar deal in other places #tragically enough

im so terrified that im not going to be able to survive living on my own which is like the most horrifying thought to me because my own independance and getting out of my parents house has always been like a top priority for me but im like really bad at taking care of even my most basic needs and it doesnt help seeing ppl talking about autistic people not being able to leve alone, like i know that a lot do but what if im one of the ones who cant

#i know im still young but #i'll be 18 in like 2 yrs and a half #anf it goes by so quick #im not ready im not cut out for this #my dad already doesnt believe i can do it #i dont want him to be right #its so embarrasing #idk man i just realised that i would not have eaten in all day if my mum hadnt reminded me #like EATING literally one of the most basic things #at least when i had an ed i wasnt eating on purpose #but like just. forgetting #is so embarrasing #and my stupid fucking sister #is always telling me how lucky i am i dont think about food and i just forget to eat #like screw you screw you so much sarah #i wish my body would give me normal stupid cues go fuck yourself dude #alex says shit

Was looking through the books for any descriptions of skug or his family (as in parents and siblings) because. i wanted to do a design for alive skug

and I’m pleased to announce that all I found- in all 15 books and the grimoire- was that height was varied as shit, some of his siblings are blond, some with darker hair and all of his family is apparently hot. dammit derek. like genuinely even his dad is described as “fair In countenance” or something. skug said he wasn’t too bad looking Val thinks one of his brothers is good looking these are all just ways of saying they’re hot this isn’t useful derek

#skulduggery pleasant #sorry about the bLock of text I forgot to do punctuation #also I don’t think it’s ever said what his mum looked like which is. Tragic #but this is so funny to me #somewhat frustrating #but funny #equally this does give me more wiggle room so I can’t complain too much #I’m lying I can and will conplain #dammit Derek we know they’re hot you don’t have to keep telling us #just let us draw them being hot #that is not a sentence I expected to type when I woke up this morning #oh well #will probably end up drawing Val and darquesse also #probably first it’ll be easier hgjhghgugh #skug designs will happen eventually I promise #on the other hand don’t hold me to that
