I think I'll just say this: I don't agree when people call any of the islanders "bad parents" just because their parenting is flawed.

Like, parents and their parenting is flawed. Inherently. One parent cannot meet all the demands of their child; it is literally impossible. As humans are imperfect, there will always be something missing or lacking in one's parenting. Hell, sometimes even two parents can't meet all their child's needs, depending on their personalities. If that's the case, then I guess all parents are bad parents. But that's not the case, so I don't get why people are so adamant when they see that a parent isn't handling things 100% perfectly and go "wow this person's parenting sucks."

And this is even more so when you take into account... pretty much everything going on in Quesadilla island. These people never really planned to be parents, yet here they are! And this island is out to kill these kids, so it's also a dangerous game of survival now, too! There are horrors around pretty much every corner. Plus, outside or inside forces are making the islanders suffer very often. The islanders are never okay. How they take care of their children is going to be different just by the very basis of their environment. The standards of parenting are different here. Their relationships with people, including their children, were never going to be 100% healthy or positive or okay. It's just not possible.

so, no, I don't think that just cause, say, q!Tubbo or q!Phil aren't great in regards to their emotional intelligence and often isolate themselves, or when any other parents in general don't handle what their children are going through perfectly, that they're bad parents. That kinda statement feels like it diminishes pretty much all the hard work and effort and love they put into taking care of their kids and even kids that aren't their own. Tubbo gives his everything for Sunny, and was/is an active babysitter for a lot of other eggs. Phil works so hard to love and teach survival to and take care of his two eggs equally. (Like, being 'basically' a single parent, of one or WORSE, two, is already hard enough in the real world - imagine being one on this fucking hellscape they're on).

Like, I don't think there's anything wrong with pointing out the parents' flaws. Their flaws make them human, and it'd be foolish to disregard their humanity. And it's interesting to analyze their flaws and what they say about the character, and how they impact their family. There's nuance there, and it should be discussed.

But I think when you're just going "oh, they're bad at parenting in general" because they fumble the bag in other departments lacks nuance. Sure, if you're just saying "they're bad when it comes to certain aspects of parenting," that's a different story, because that's understanding their flaws while recognizing that those flaws don't define all of their parenting. But to just say they're bad at it in general isn't productive analysis of their characters in any way. I haven't watched q!Phil take care of his egg for a whole year (followed by a second egg more consistently shortly after) only for people to shit on his parenting just because his lack emotional intelligence is more noticeable as of recent due to all the trauma and bullshit he's endured. And I haven't seen q!Tubbo put his whole heart into taking care of Sunny as well as multiple other eggs, being Chayanne and Tallulah's reliable godfather, just for people to put down his efforts because he's not always great at more emotionally in depth conversations. They're good parents in a lot of ways, and those strengths shouldn't be discredited just because they aren't good at other things. Their characters deserve way better than that.

tldr these parents are all good in many regards and are just trying their damn best in the worst of circumstances, can we cut them just a bit of slack, please?

#qsmp #fuck it i'm tagging the characters i mentioned #philza #tubbo #missy rambles #also tldr this discourse is fucking dumb #like jesus calling them bad parents feels like it's shitting on all the time they've spent on this damn island taking care of these kids #all cause they're bad at talking about feelings sometimes? give me a break

google "how to write a character who is known within her universe for having no filter and swearing a lot (especially in the face of authority) without having it read like i graduated from vivziepop school of writing"

#this is why we have to abide by the “3 fucks per character” rule #octavia gets 3 “fuck”s 3 “shit”s and 3 “bitch”s per chapter with unlimited low level swars eg crap and damn #this is good actually cuz it makes me think of where itd be the funniest/most effective to add swears so they dont lose their bite #also if you are going to write a story where swears are used i feel like you should have at least one character with a sqeaky clean mouth #and maybe let them swear like. twice through the entire thing #(for RAA this is onion and vivica) #(vivica is only allowed to use ye olde swears such as “blast” and “great heavens” and “jesus mary joseph”)

Mu Qing, someone who has been steamrolling his deepest emotions for nearly a millennia, tormented by a class system in which he has been labeled as fundamentally untrustworthy, someone whose every mildly positive intention has been twisted into malevolence due to his personality, and whose literal actual name means ‘one who yearns for affection’: alright let’s help dianxia in disguise, what’s one more mask to wear, what’s one more attempted good deed that will ultimately blow up in my face

Xie Lian, a prince of an extremely extravagant and ludicrously wealthy kingdom, who didn’t recognize Mu Qing as a deity (or even a person lmao) and not a servant: *legit takes every opportunity to throw shade at Mu Qing and badmouth him to his face, and then later reveals he ‘knew’ Fu Yao was Mu Qing all along* yeah duh of course I knew it was him, his name is ‘one who rises above their station’, plus we grew up together lmao of COURSE I’d recognize him (:

#sorry guys #I don’t hate Xie Lian but I can’t stand how he interacts with Mu Qing #i haven’t finished it yet #so idk if things get better #but jesus fucking christ #remember how after Xianle fell and they were fugitives mu Qing was still a servant to four people #cooking and washing and cleaning and mending for everyone #and ASKED to leave to take care of his mother #and Xie Lian lost his damn mind and acted like this was the betrayal of a lifetime #posts that put me on Hua Cheng’s List #mu qing #xie lian #tgcf #tgcf spoilers #mu qing my beloved #does xl have a savior complex or a hero complex? #discourse #is this take influenced by me being American #perhaps #is it because the concept of nobility and nepotism being obtained with morality infuriates me and is blatantly untrue #it’s ok if u like him I get it /srs #also I don’t think XL would have recognized him (at least not as quickly) if fuckin feng xin wasn’t there #being STUPID #with his fake name

"Everything you went through was meaningless." [St Voyager S3 E7: 'Sacred Ground']

#Serving Jesus realness #star trek screenshots #Janeway #iconic that all the aliens are like 'damn....that's crazy....anyway-' about Janeway HEHEHE they're like snickering behind their hands #I would be too honestly if some outsider tried to speedrun my ancient spiritual rituals #Love the vibe of 'this could all be hazing' they're putting out. Also I keep seeing the face paint on the guide woman as like a mic #honestly this woman's fucking hilarious HEHEHE #Janeway: I'm dying. / Alien Guide: We all die someday :) <- lady who just told her to stick in her hand in a poison jar #AHAHAHA THEY REALLY DID HAZE HER...I love these guys they're so nahnahnahbooboo-core #also the refrain 'Everything you went through was meaningless' ..... thinking BIG thoughts about post-voyager voy crew back on earth #I really do earnestly love the gleeful contempt vibe...it just seems so right. In a funny way but also in a way that's deeply true #the feeling of trying to find answers while you universe laughs and says there are none - it's meaningless - but you're welcome to go ahead #and try. If you find God you have the feeling it would just stare at you blankly. Then laugh. #Chakotay: Captain I've been so worried about you! Have you found a solution? / Janeway: Absolutely. I'm going to walk into the death shrine #Chakotay: (internally hysterical) Oh of COURSE!!!! no of COURSE she's going to walk into the DEATH SHRINE!!!! #great imagery in this one <3 folks who love religious imagery (me) will get a kick outta this one <3 #anyway I love when star trek does hopeful eps like this...makes me tear up like. Yeah there could be a scientific explanation but that #doesn't make it MORE true or MORE real than the religious one - it's just as valid to believe in the spirits #Also those three old creeps were lovely <3 scared me and I like that! existential dread!
