modern au where bertie wears these shitty t shirts with increasingly bizarre slogans that keep getting more and more specific

one day he'll wear one that just says I <3 JEEVES and no one will even bat an eyelid

also i gave him funny little heart-shaped sunglasses cause they match his vibe and would send jeeves into cosmic stuffed frog territory

#jooster #bertie wooster #jeeves and wooster #he really does kidnap unattended children in canon so that ones perhaps scotland yard mandated #pg wodehouse #i always fluctuate in modern aus between thinking bertie would dress like this or like fran fine from the nanny #just all bold patterns and bright colours and everythings far too tight #he'd kill that dress fran has with the fruit on it

Fastest nanny alive au

Wally: B, as the person in charge I have to say… I tried really, really hard to stop Dick but he put joker in critical condition, also Harley is with Jay right now drawing on his casts.

Bruce, tired and dilfy: it's okay son, I'm not even disappointed he did what Batman can't unfortunately.

Wally: okay, well Alfred is working on the Batmobile, Dick took it and broke it upside joker's head.

Bruce, long suffering sigh: tell him he's grounded for a month.

Dick, from the vents: I'm an adult B, you can't ground me!

i love how unfatherly crowley and aziraphale both are when it comes down to it. sure aziraphale is more than willing to give the young people in his life help and advice and be their friend but he and crowley spent six years (eleven in the book) practically raising a kid (you just know his parents weren't around that often) and by the end they didn't even like him. crowley even suggested they just fucking kill him. he turned three kids into lizards for annoying him right after he destroyed their house. like it was that or kill them obviously but he did NOT hesitate with the newts. that's so funny to me. they're just inherently disinclined to parenthood. we need more characters like them actually

#good omens #i think if aziraphale HAD to take care of a baby no choice he would give them some cocoa #and play mozart for them and just kind of let them do their thing in the bookshop. away from the books of course. #like he would make sure they were safe and sheltered and he would be kind to them #but it would really show that he was just imitating fathers he had seen in books #crowley was not meant to raise children. he's a wine aunt plain and simple. he'd love to be called 'auntie crowley' #but he has no friends with kids so he has to be content with his brief stint as nanny. #the demon put a basket with a baby in it in the backseat of his car untethered and let it slide around #from side to side while he drove dangerously. canonically that is something he did #it's also my headcanon that he has some complicated feelings about parenthood and family roles #yknow. when you're technically one of 'god's children' but she cast you and so many of your siblings down to hell for asking questions #when the closest thing you have to a mother made you murder innocent children for a bet. #it can make you hesitant about that sort of thing!

Y'all know your girl loves her AUs, and my partner pointed out that this is just a fursona with extra steps but idc here's the animatronic version of my s/i!! I wanted to draw her in the style of the official Security Breach art cause it's cute, I'll probably draw the real animatronic later lol but meet Missy Mouse! 🧀🐀

Her attraction amounts to essentially a karaoke room where kids are encouraged to play and sing as loud as their little lungs can (soundproofed ofc) and she sings along with them! She's modeled after the 60s and sings a lot of songs from the 70s as well but tends to favor 80s hits like Call Me and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun! 💖💖

As long as women live in poverty and are vulnerable to exploitation there needs to be greater regulation in commercial surrogacy.

As we all know, pregnancy generally takes around nine months, plus recovery time. And humans aren’t great at having much more than one or two children at once. That really limits how many children one person or couple can have at a time.

Or at least it used to.

Assisted reproductive technology and gestational surrogacy have changed what’s possible for human reproduction. For those suffering medical or other obstacles, surrogacy can be a miracle solution to parenthood. Others, however, are pushing the limits on the possibilities provided by the new technology.

1,000 Children, Please

Japanese businessman Mitsutoki Shigeta made headlines in 2014 when Thai authorities discovered nine babies being cared for in a mostly unfurnished condo in Bangkok. The children were all genetically related to Shigeta, and born by surrogacy. Mariam Kukunashvili, a co-founder of the Thai fertility clinic that assisted Shigeta in finding surrogates, reported Shigeta to Thai authorities after Shigeta “revealed plans for more than 1,000 children.” Kukunashvili and Thai authorities were concerned that Shigeta may be involved in human trafficking.

Yet a Thai court later awarded Shigeta custody of all nine of his children, in addition to other children who were genetically related to him, and found elsewhere. After hearing evidence, the court also found no evidence of human trafficking. So, a happy ending?

Not quite.

Shigeta’s case was not the only one grabbing headlines as to the questionability of surrogacy. Another nightmare case around the same time. There, an Australian couple conceived twins via a Thai surrogate. After the twins’ birth, reports came out that the parents returned to Australia with only one of the twins, leaving behind the other twin, who had been diagnosed with Down syndrome. (Although it later came to light that the parents tried to leave with both babies and were unable to.)

In 2015, Thailand responded by banning non-Thai citizens from paying Thai women to act as surrogates, including the potential of a 10-year prison sentence for violators. The result was a complete shutdown of Thailand’s international surrogacy practices.

As frequently happens, when one country shuts down international surrogacy, another country sees a rise in business. In the past couple of decades, the Eastern European country of Georgia has seen surrogacy grow in popularity. But that looks like it may all end as well.

20 Kids In A Year

Shigeta isn’t the only one to look to surrogacy to have a high number of children in a short time. One couple in Georgia has received media coverage over their fast-growing family. With the help of surrogates, the couple, Kristina and Galip Ozturk, have had 21 children in just over a year. And they have plans for additional children. Like Shigeta, the Georgia couple have the financial means to afford surrogacy, as well as a large staff to care for their growing families.

Georgia Closes Its Doors

Last month, Georgia introduced a bill to shut down compensated surrogacy in that country and to specifically exclude all international intended parents. Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili announced on June 12, 2023, that a bill was in progress to tightly regulate surrogacy in the country.

Unafraid of embracing homophobic rhetoric, Garibashvili specifically cited concerns that same-sex couples may be having children in Georgia, and taking them home. But others noted, as though it were a good thing, that there was already a process in place in Georgia preventing same-sex couples from accessing surrogacy services.

The new law in Georgia is expected to pass this fall. It prohibits women in Georgia from being compensated for surrogacy, limiting the practice only to “altruistic” surrogacy arrangements. It also prohibits Georgian women from carrying pregnancies for foreign couples starting in 2024.

That’s bad news for couples like the Ozturks, who are unlikely to be as successful at finding willing surrogates if they are not permitted to pay them. Though at 21 kids, they can hopefully declare victory and be finished. The real issue is that the new Georgia law is bad news for international hopeful parents, who may be unable to afford the price tag in the United States for surrogacy.

US Guidelines

The United States has not turned a blind eye to the issue. In 2022, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) issued “Recommendations for practices using gestational carriers: a committee opinion.” Among the list of criteria for rejection of intended parents is an “inability to maintain respectful and caring relationship with a gestational carrier,” ”ongoing legal disputes,” and — on point here — “Intended parents’ reproductive plan is to pursue concurrent pregnancies by embryo transfers to more than one gestational carrier or seeking concurrent pregnancies for a gestational carrier and intended parent.”

Most fertility clinics in the United States are members of ASRM and committed to following ASRM guidelines and recommendations. So while it is not technically illegal to pursue multiple surrogacy pregnancies at once in the United States, it may now be difficult to find the medical providers to support the plan.

When intended parents take family-building to an extreme, the temptation can be to cast doubt on the appropriateness of surrogacy generally. But that is a misguided reflexive reaction. Regulation can solve the problem of those trying to build an army of children. But for those with limited options who turn to surrogacy for the hopes of a child, eliminating surrogacy means eliminating one of the most viable options to family formation.

So let’s hope that stories likes the Ozturks’ and Shegeta’s don’t ruin it for others.

modern au dad askeladd except he's not an actual dad but this random kid shows up to his house every day and tries to have beef over the closed food store askeladd bought and turned into an antiquarian store. turns out the food store used to be run by the kid's father until he passed away which is very sad of course but also askeladd is not gonna cooperate with some brat that borderline harasses him day by day. only that he can't call the cops because he kinda has a turbulent past and if they find out he's filling his store with stolen goods it's gonna become a huge problem. and note to destiny, the stupid kid finding out is not that great either because now he has to hear it out if he doesn't wanna go to prison and also he should probably learn the demon child's name while he's at it. shenanigans ensue.

#askeladd agrees to honor the memory of thorfinn's dad and in return thorfinn won't call the cops on him #then they fight about how the honoring should be done #askeladd doesn't want to change his entire store's image only to make sure people don't forget about the former owner #and thorfinn isn't satisfied with just a sign with his dad's name on it which is as far as askeladd is willing to go #things change when some rich jackass wants to buy every building on the street and turn the whole area into a luxury resort #now thorfinn and askeladd have to work together because thorfinn doesn't want his dad's store to vanish #and askeladd doesn’t want HIS STORE to be torn down because smuggling the stolen stuff out of town would be a pain #(also affordable houses with basements big enough to keep the meth laboratory running are rare these days) #(also also thorfinn learns some kind of martial art in the dojo across the street which is whatever but the coach is really nice) #(like. REALLY nice.) #(with a nice voice and a nice face and nice muscles and as if that wasn't enough he makes a kickass apple pie) #“bjorn is single btw” - “shut up thorfinn” - “i'm trying to help” - “go bother your twink why dontcha” #yeah thorfinn actually manages to make friends with the son of that asshole that tries to get their houses #great for the brat of course but now askeladd has to deal with a snobbish teen criticizing his cooking #not to mention the nosey nanny slash accountant the rich idiot hired to keep his twink son entertained who's very curious about the basement #he also knows a lot about modern art which. not great. well great for him but not for askeladd. #anyway tldr #askeladd has to save a street while trying to raise two boys that aren't his not falling in love and keeping ragnar out of the meth basement #thorkell is the construction worker hanging around and refusing to do his job until sven pays him quadruple the original agreement #vinland saga #bjornskeladd #thornute #ragnar and thorkell are also there #and sven but no one wants him to

I'm gonna be real I didn't realize you had a kid and now I think you are obligated to raise them as your robin

I don't have any kids, I'm just a nanny 😆. If you hear me say "my kid" or something then I'm referring to the kids I nanny. I will never be a mother, but I'm going to be an aunt in a month, and I will definitely be introducing her to Robin at some point 😆.

#no yeah being a nanny has made me 100% certain that i don't want kids #i've never respected parents more though like damn i'm chugging parent respect juice from now on bc it's a hard life #but my brother is apparently wanting 5 kids so he's gonna be the bruce wayne of this joint lmao #anon

"roy would NEVER let jason around his daughter hes a murderer" roy is literally snail mailing the woman who nuked a country an invitation to lians birthday party right now

#also rose who was lians fricking nanny was actively part of a plot that directly put lians life in danger #and the worst roy had to say abt her was that he had a soft spot for her but shes 'bad news' #side note! mia (who was... never canonically roys sister btw lmao. they did not interact on page #) #has also killed before #so has ollie #like im not saying roy should automatically think jasons a paragon of stability and make him lians godfather or anyfing #but ignoring that roy is actually pretty frequently fond of murderers and assholes... just makes you look dumb actually #oh my god hal. i fucking forgot the entire hal. like are you gonna try and tell me thats not lians uncle hal lmao. please be serious #dc

More random facts about the trio!

Dee is the one who gets approached by animals the most. Since she would spend the majority of her time alone in the forest as a child + the years she spent hiding in the forest with Naoise and his brothers (again, spending the majority of the day alone), animals have accepted her as part of the ecosystem.

Cu is the one who knows how to take care of babies and little kids. He already had two kids and was the mentor of all the small boys in Ulster. He knows how to talk and entertain little kids, knows why babies are crying, and will teach you how to hold a newborn and not panic in the process.

Pat is the one who gets along with his peers/soldiers/fellowmen the most. As one who symbolizes the ideal greek public servant, he's kind, thoughtful and balanced. He's one that others can open up to and feel listened without worrying about being judged, and he makes the atmosphere less tense.

#hc. º ( mini. ) #dee. º ( saber. ) #cu. ° ( lancer. ) #pat. º ( lancer. ) #/ there's just something about cú being an experienced parent & licensed nanny that amuses me deeply #/ pat knows a lot of secrets of random people because he has that welcoming and safe vibe #/ and yes dee is that one person who has the prickly cat take a nap on her lap. she's the chosen one

What’s your opinion on Janet and Jack Drake?

Phew that’s a tough one!

Ok so I’d like to reiterate that most of my knowledge comes from reading fanfic and looking up some canon events on the internet. I haven’t read too many comics yet >.<

A lot of fics (mine included because it’s a nice plot device for Tim angst) depict the Drakes as horrible people who are much more abusive/neglectful than they are in canon (at least from what little I know).

But even without that they left Tim behind for months at a time, didn’t realize he was sneaking out into Gotham AT NIGHT when he was like—- nine? to take pictures and I don’t think he had an actual babysitter either? But feel free to correct me here.

And yeah, Tim is/can be a very independent person but interestingly enough there’s something called “hyper independence” which is something neglected kids may develop as a consequence to not having an adult to rely upon.

Which doesn’t mean that Janet and Jack don’t love Tim. I’m actually pretty certain they do, in their own way, but neither of them is or was equipped to raise a child. They prioritized their globetrotting business over providing a safe and healthy environment for Tim.

Being a parent is a full time job and they didn’t even put in the bare minimum beyond providing him with money, a roof over his head and some occasional check ins. Being back in Gotham once every couple months to spend some days of quality time with your kid just doesn’t cut it.

So to sum it up I think Janet and Jack Drake are horribly neglectful parents whichever way you look at it. And sure, they could be worse, but neglect isn’t a competition. ✨

#but that’s just my opinion #ghost talks #I grew up with wonderful parents so maybe that’s why it seems even worse to me #look Tim struck me as hyper independent from day one #has a hard time to rely on others #because he was never allowed to #and that’s psych 1.1 in my Uni #signs of neglected kids #and they are rich they could have afforded an entire army of Nannie’s #I’ve got feelings about this ok #Tim drake #drake family
