[confusedfoam]

look I love it for him that he's like super hot now or whatever but if I'm honest I wish Nicky was more of a loser

#he swung back around too far into coolness for me #like narcolas was such a loser child and jodie continued to exist in his life as his loser dad #plus nick and his anxiety and his love of minons #also lets not pretend glenns actually cool hes a lame weirdo too he just wears it better than jodie #let nicky be hot sure but making him a suave cool talking smoking super confident badass or whatever makes me feel robbed #that said i love and respect everyone and their right to characterize as they want #nick close #nicholas foster #nicky close foster #dndads #dndaddies #dungeons and daddies

#i'm finnally happy with this specific era of baby nick i think he may have started t already maybe been on for a couple of months he's havin #fun with acne again he is dying inside but happy #he's like 19 here and still lives at home he's in school trying to do something #stefans dragging him to the autoshop with him to work and he's slowly coming to the conclusion he hates this #he liked it better when he was younger and was just goofing around with his dad but now he gotta work like what #plus he gotta hide that he smokes sdfghjk #he's been smoking since he was 14 he wanted a deeper voice okay! #stefan is aware and his just disappointed like child no #on the note of t! its lowkey filling stefan with so much joy cause nick looks so much like him he's proud for some weird reason like look a #mini me. all of his work freinds are geeked for em and its an adjustment because they new him so long but they poke fun at him and treat em #the rookie he is #on the record though nicks great with cars just its boring #Spotify #ts4 #simblr #sims 4 #nicolas ishida #my sims

Currently thinking about Morgan saying the reason she likes Glenn more then Jodie is because even though he's really stupid, he is trying and thats why she loves him but it's "this is the best its going to be" when it comes to his relationship to Nicky.

Thinking about how Morgan was someone who pushed back against Glenn's worse behaviors and called him out. Morgan made Glenn want to be better. And then she died and Glenn gave up trying because Nick wasn't a good enough reason to keep on trying

#glenn is terrible❤ #he is the absolute worst guy #obsessed with the idea of being with nick again was the only thing to keep glenn going in prison #and then he gets out and is given the opportunity to be in nicky's life again #the opportunity to do it over and this time actually be there #and he just #doesn't want to #its too hard. why would he need to hang out with the kid who came from a unplanned pregnancy when he could run off with his wife and party #as someone with a mentally ill parent who was my codependent bestfriend and watching her refuse to change or be there for me anymore #nicky never being worth it or good enough for his dad just hits a lot harder #freddie owes me emotional damage compensation #dungeons and daddies #dungeons and daddies s2 #dnddads s2 spoilers #glenn close #nick close

[twomystdunstans]

for as loud as taylor is he seems so so little and small sometimes and this episode really fucking just. hit the nail on the head so to speak. oh my god

#Hes so LOUD and hes so. Himself all the time but theres moments where im like ohhhhhhh god hes just a kid. Right. Right. #ohhh hes just little and wants his dad. #The bit with the housefire and him crying over Nick hit me in the guts and then the bit in this episode is like. Fuck dude #'If you could figure out the time travel thing and pick me up on the way.. backwards.' Do you want me to die? Freddie do you want me dead? #also fucking. 'this is as good as it is going to get.' #this podcast is trying to kill me #Dndads #dndads season 2 #dndads spoilers #dndads s2 #taylor swift dndads #taylor swift (not that one) #this episode came for me personally somehow

Sometimes...I live in a world where Gary King and Nicholas Angel are cousins.

And sometimes...SOMETIMES...Nicholas' uncle Derek is Gary's dad.

#This gets complicated if Derek is Nicholas' uncle via his father. Cuz then his last name would likely be Angel--not King #The wiki says he's Nick's dad's brother but i cant recall. and my rental of the movie ran out so :/ #I think it would be neato if for some reason or another Garys mom was like 'eh fuck this Derek guy' and gave Gary her own last name instead #all that said i have so many ideas about Gary's parents and i dont want to commit to any of them. go stupid go crazy as they say #pyra speaks #gary king #nicholas angel #Honestly imagine the drama of Nicholas being older than Gary so the whole arrest thing happened when Nick was a kiddo and thus Gary was BAB #maybe not even born yet #and then Derek gets arrested and then just fuckin yeets out of his old life #so Nicholas is Gary's older cousin who not only knew Gary's dad better than he ever got to but is also sooo ffing successful #Heehee i think that dynamic would be NUTS. heh #Saying this as if most of my thoughts for this au aren't fluff about Gary recovering and visiting his kind+supportive cousin in Sanford #twe #hot fuzz #twe au #hf au #cornetto trilogy

this is a fun line. i think they play with jack's innocence in interesting ways and i appreciate that effort. i also like how this mirrors the previous episode but with higher stakes. jack is unstable and not quite so obedient as everyone wants him to be (including him, it seems), and it's driving him to extremes that he doesn't quite know how to come down from. and i'm definitely not sold on the idea that jack's soul is completely gone, unless of course they've rewritten how soullessness works yet again, so these extremes leading to rejection from people he wants the approval of is clearly hurting him. he wants so badly to justify his actions, and he naively thinks that "fixing" the messes he makes will erase the hurt caused. and that's a cool direction to take his character and embed his innocence into a more complex character. he's struggling with more nuanced perspectives and seeing everything in black or white, which is of course subconsciously reinforced by his home environment. it's not wholly innate, and it's certainly not wholly a result of his soul burning off. great, consistent character building 😊 i've been enjoying jack a lot this season

#liveblogging: supernatural #14.17 #i like to think he asked himself what would sam do here #and that's why he killed nick. because he saw sam's aggression toward nick #and he's just found out that nick hurt sam nearly to the point of death #so he's emulating how he believes sam would act here. of course through a biased and extreme lens. he wants to take after dad :) #and he wants sam's approval for getting revenge on his behalf #throwing up and screaming and crying. i really like jack kline #.txt #spn posting #spn14

My Sole Survivor, Michael, bemusedly dealing with The Brotherhood of Steel: Yeah sure I'll indulge these weirdos wearing the same armour my fellow soldiers used to wear, if nothing else then to see where the hell they're going with all of this and also because they seem to be the only ones ABLE to do something about this evil "Institute" I keep hearing about. Maybe if I'm nice they'll help me find my son.

#Don't worry he meets Nick Valentine and realizes he was fucking wrong AGAIN very soon #He also thinks they're just pretentious looters but like. The old world is 200 years dead and he was ALREADY a little disillusioned #He wasn't super patriotic or into being a soldier anyways- it was a means to an end (free post secondary) #and he has a fucking son to find #so he doesn't really care about looting a tech company and he likes what Danse has to say about the corrupt shitty corporations #(His lavender marriage wife was in pre-law and got accepted to law school and that's part of why he came home #because they felt like they SHOULD have a kid but he didn't want her giving up on her dream of legally challenging corpos for motherhood) #(Also they're younger than the prologue paints them as. He's about 23ish and during those few months he had he was a REALLY good Dad) #anyways #fallout #fallout 4 #FO4 #kat plays FO4

Nick: (Pulling a all-dayer and all-nighter at his desk like the workaholic that he is, grumbling over a recent case)

Jasmine: (Suppose to be in bed in her loft that had once belonged to Ellie but is instead creeping around) “……....” (Peeps her head around the corner while invisible, observing Nick)

Nick: (Tired Dad sigh as he rubs his forehead)

Jasmine: (Silently slinks back upstairs, cracking opening the roof door juuuuust enough so she can slip outside and explore the night, still dressed in her bunny jammies)

Alley Cat: (Brushes up against the escapee as she makes her getaway)

Jasmine: (Puts a finger to her lip) “Ssh….” (Pets the kitty to buy his silence before swiftly making her way across the rooftops like Batman, jumping off at the very edge)

Nick: (Unimpressed Dad look as he watches his daughter from the corner ahead, lit cigarette in hand)

Jasmine: (Glances back over her shoulder to make sure she isn’t being followed, completely oblivious to his presence)

Nick: (Folds his arms, the cigarette now in his mouth) “Ahem.”

Jasmine: “Eeeeeeek!!” (Jumps like a startled cat and hisses, taking out her Murder Mittens)

Nick: (Unfazed) “What did I say about sneaking out in the middle of the night?” (Struts over and seizes the girl by the arm)

Jasmine: (Only hisses again in response)

Nick: (Raises his eyebrows as he examines his girl) “And only in your jammies too? You looking to catch your death in the cold?” (Puts his coat around the teen so she won’t freeze)

Jasmine: (Huffs, stamping her feet like a toddler)

Nick: (Tugs on her arm) “C’mon missy, straight back to bed with you.” (Starts leading her away)

Jasmine: (Annoyed growl as she’s dragged back home)

Based on a conversation I had with @sassenashsworld

#Nick just teleported ahead of Jas with his Dad powers #He just kinda knew what she was up to without even getting up. #His (Spidey-Senses) Daddy-Senses started tingling and he got up to collect his daughter #From the moment he brought her to his agency Jas had the tendency to sneak away without telling anyone #She would just up and walk for a few hours and return like nothing had happened. #Nick had a “fun” time explaining to her that she worries everyone when she does this sort of thing #But nooooooo. The Lone Wildcat thinks she’ll be fine on her own and no one should have to worry about her because she’s invincible #Back then Nick didn’t feel like he had the authority to keep Jasmine inside if she really wanted to leave #But now he does as her father. So she’s staying inside and she can’t disappear unless she informs someone responsible #I say “someone responsible” because Hancock and Deacon don’t always count as “someone responsible” #In fact they are under the same rules when the group is all together #And also. They are calling Jas’s bunny pajamas “jammies” because Jazzy once slipped up and referred to them as her jammies #And all the companions that heard thought it was so adorable and they started teasing her. Now they refer to her pajamas as jammies. #Even X6 does it by mistake sometimes. #Jasmine gets annoyed but she does this often and it’s adorable #fo4 #fallout 4 #fallout #fallout oc #fallout original character #nick valentine

Man I love dndads season 2 I wish it was good

#sorryyyyyy you know I have to be on my shit again #(angry posting about Glenn close character assasination) #not defending Glenn or saying he’s a good person or dad #becuase he’s not either of those things but #cmon now folks do u not remember what ONE THIRD of season one is about #sorry glenn wouldn’t fucking do that!!!! the only thing he cares about is Nick!!!!! #once again season one literally ends w glenn going hey I know I’m not your father anymore but I still want to be in your life #I still want to put in the effort #just for him to end up at square one again the next time we see him???? #I’m not against a character getting worse #in fact I LOVE it it’s why I think scary and normals arcs are so interesting and fun #but that’s not where Glenn ended #you can’t just have him show up and go btw all the change u saw in season one wasn’t real #and actually he sucks worse now #nothing he went through or did matters lol #it’s dumb!!! #and it makes his WHOLE arc in season one #nothing but pointless martyrdom #sorry this is not really the most articulate #I’m just mad #how come all the other dads get to be their changed fully realized selves #but Glenn gets the shaft #not even saying you couldn’t do the whole ‘there’s no fixing this’ thing #it just should have been done a different way #Glenn could still have been there and Nick could have still held undealt with resentment from when Glenn wasn’t there before #anyway

What I am gonna talk about is why that makes me fine with the way the teens handle their relationships with their parents.

Essentially the general avoidance almost all of them have. Linc basically ignoring his dad the last time they saw each other, Normal in general seems to be so angry at Sparrow (probably Lark to, but again that’s a different post), Scary just straight up denying that Terry is anything to her and siding with Willy, and just the way Taylor interacts with Nick.

It feels like we are getting this twisted version of the perspectives of the kiddads childhoods, Normals rage at Sparrow/Larks rage at Henry, Terrys denial of Ron/Scary’s denial of Terry, Grant blocking off his feeling from darrly/Linc blocking his feelings from grant, Glenn ignoring some obvious pains Nick may have/ Nick ignoring some obvious pains that Taylor may have.

The difference is solely in the motivations behind why each kid acts this way, and in the case of all of them. Their direct attempts to prevent what happened to them happening to their children, failed. I would love to see the kiddads come in and just magically fix their own mindsets and then their children’s issues, but from a place in the narrative I only think Terry and Grant is even slightly capable of doing that. And even then I can make arguments that they very much aren’t. The sad thing about that is that they may never be, especially in the case of both Nick and Lark.

Basically, Right now the teens are able to have much more independence from their parents , unlike the kids in season 1 (who were NPCs). That independence what I think is crucial to working on each of the kids relationship, but can also be the thing that completely breaks it.

#dungeons and daddies #dndads #dndaddies #I could have gone longer #but I didn’t feel like it #cause I like eggs #i want to make a post relating to how sparrow may be freaking out #due to the connection of Lark hating Henry #like part of me expected when Normal said I hate you dad in the staircase for him to freak #but the line he gives also screams denial #and his weird condescension #also just in general I don’t think either Lincoln or scary would benefit from a scene with their parent currently #I love the kiddads so I would never complain #Nick is very much just in the vein of projecting his trauma onto his kid as a way to protect him #like I know they have the explanation of hell ruining your morals #but part of me interprets everything bad Nick says as a direct response to the kiddads betrayal #also I am a firm beliver that Lark isn’t normals dad #hero’s maybe #probably not Normal

I keep seeing those "character without trauma" depictions and they seem like fun but I can't really picture it for most of The Faves... I guess Arakawa would've stayed an actor and Mine would've stayed at his company (or who knows, maybe he would've pursued baseball instead to begin with), but other than that I'm coming up blank...

its hard to imagine traumaless depictions when A Good Portion Of Characteristics are a product of trauma tbf 👁️💋👁️

#snap chats #like even with daigo. sure his trauma might be considerably less severe compared to others #but even still his internalized loneliness and want for an Actual friend is a product of his childhood neglect and surroundings #trauma has a range like that going from things some people might be like 'oh well thats not THAT bad' to like. #walking in on your dad after he was shot 👀💋👀 i mean daigos dad was ALSO shot but at least he didnt have to see it-- #jo might be the hardest to imagine. if thats what you were lowkey alluding to when it came to coming to a blank #at least with mine and arakawa- mine especially- we got to see them Somewhat have a normal life #mine esp like if he just learned to better communicated he wouldnt have a need to join the yakuza right #but with jo we never get even a lick of that #at most he was a construction worker but i mean.. p sure that was more of Needing to do it opposed to naturally going towards it yk #not that construction work is bad of course but we know what im saying its not exactly a lot of people's Top Five occupations #especially at 15 but anyway. im prattlin too long THIS IS WHAT I WAS SAYING DURIN STREAM YESTERDAY LMAO #I BE LIKE 'weh wah my hand hurt i hate typing' and then i type an essay in the tags #literally go outside i hate you <- @me #anyway. i forgot to say in my last bitching post that my mom also nicked my ear so thats fun #so now my ear hurts and theres a skin flap i wanna rip off thats great #ok that was more tmi than usual ima cut it here BYE

i watched the first 2 seasons of the handmaid's tale yesterday and by far the best part was how each episode ended with a girl power 'they can't keep us down' moment and in the next episode they were, in fact, kept down

#ameera speaks #the worst part is how this annoying bitch has been given the oppurtunity to escape TWICE now and shes FUVKED it both times #all for her daughter. and then i find out 3 seasons later she does escape and she STILL doesnt have her daughter #anyway im sorryyyy i like nick </3 i found out the actor is the sin if the director of the talented mr ripley and hes been my fave since #like his dad gave us jude law. and u want me to dislike him (no one wamts me to dislike him) #also alma is sooo oretty i want her to be a lead just bc i find her sooooo pretty #and like i love liz moss like thats peggy olsen but if i have to see a close up of her face while she tenses her jaw anymore times ill kms #official review of the handmaids tale

i hate the “and they got married and had babies” trope so i’m thinking abt the very precious few ocs who have children 🤔 😔

#the ones who for certain have kids r rowena (she deserves to be a milf) annalise (for the tragedy) and corintha (farm baby) #and those kids are the only named ones !! elias & elizabeth then amelia then rosemary <3 #BUT #audra and kent definitely have two girls.. audra is the most attentive and fun mother u could ask for and kent ADORES his girls #saskia and nick have at least one and nick cries when they’re born and his whole personality becomes being a dad #and he turns into saskia’s househusband bc at that point he would be retired anyways. and he cooks w them and does crafts w them 🤧 #i think tenn and salylia could adopt a rascal of a boy and teach him how to lie cheat and steal. i just think it would be fun. #like the adventures of tenn and salylia: the criminals adopt a freaky child !! #n then charity and blade….. yes. she wants kids sooooooo badly i think it would happen #sasha and liam could potentially have kids tbh?? i can see them having TONS of children just an outrageously huge family #that’s all i got 😔 domesticity makes me happy #the rest of the couples are either too sick and twisted to have children or one of them is dead. #or they also just don’t want them bc i <3 also don’t want them <33 #norma and ellery do adopt a child respectively but i don’t count their partners as that child’s parent. deacon is not austin’s father #and aloth isn’t vela’s. so i’m not listing them #oops i forgot lily….. but that’s canonic anyways #anyways.txt

Another day spent being sad about Terry Jr. and Nicky

#because they were Best friends when kids #and then their parents inadvertently fucked that up So bad in So many different ways #like… just when TJ and Nick finally feel like they Know each other #Nick is no longer Nick #and TJ has Similar memories with Nicholas but they’re not the Same #and while he feels like he’s somehow gained a friend he also feels like he’s lost one #and he’s so confused about it but who is he going to talk about it with? #and then Nicholas Learns about the whole Glenn arc and what the fuck is he supposed to do with this information??? #so he confides in TJ because he Knows that they’re Supposed to be close but aren’t for whatever reason (because of the timeline switch) #OR??? if Nick was still like.. living in Nicholas’ head #he’s so sad he doesn’t understand why TJ can’t hear him #it’s bad enough that his dad can’t listen but his best friend too?? #so Nick is in a constant breakdown over that in Nicholas’ head and Nicholas isn’t going to tell anyone because he doesn’t want them to #think he’s crazy or anything #but he’s Also breaking down about it and of course TJ is the only one there who either of them would even Consider telling #so it all spills one night and all Three are crying?? because their best friend is so close yet so far??? and they don’t know what to do #about it At All????? #and then eventually though they do figure it out- except Nicky has to stay in hell and they can’t see each other often enough to feel good #about it #and TJ can’t go see Nicky in hell because he’ll Die #and then Everything happens with D.A.D.D.I.E.S. and they have to deal with losing their best friend All Over Again but in such a permanent #way #and they both cry about it For Sure but they can’t be there for each other anymore #TJ leaves the best man spot open at his wedding because he did send Nicky a letter telling him all about it and inviting him and al #*all #and he doesn’t come but his spot is there anyways #and TJ is So happy to be getting married but it’s so bittersweet because.. his best friend :( #anyways yea moves me to tears <3 #dungeons and daddies #dndads
