#grow up and love your mother!

[thatrandomblogsays]

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

okay but sarah celebrating tommy every year for mother’s day

#who needs a mommy when you got a tommy #the first time shes does this its preschool teacher maria’s idea #shes four and mothers day is coming up and its usually a hard time for her so joel lets maria know just in case she has any behavioral issue #miss maria is like 🫡 i gotchu #she makes sure to emphasize to the kids that families are all different #they spend every day of may leading up to mother day reading books exploring diversity in families and talking about what mom really means #that it doesnt have to be the person who had you in their tummy or a girl or even a person we call mom #for example miss maria’s real mommy wasnt so nice growing up so miss marias TRUE mommy is just her daddy and her auntie rose #because those are the people that loved her no matter what and kept her safe and taken care of and fed #thats all mom is #it just means someone thats there for you every day and loves you and cares for you #someone who is one of your favorite people and who would say the same about you #all the kids go around and say who they think are their moms #mosy say some iteration of ‘mommy’ and ‘mama’ or ‘grammy’ #but then baby ellie says ‘tess and auntie marlene’ #and baby sarah says ‘uncle thommy’ #one of the other littles says ‘daddy and miss maria’ 😭 #and they all make heart cards for their mommy firgures #they cant write or really read anything but a few letters yet #(even though hyperlexic baby sarah does have pretty incredible letter recognition for her age) #so they tell miss maria what to write on their cards and then decorate with oil pastels #sarah’s says dear uncle tommy thank you for being my mommy you are so funny and i love when we play horsey and princesses. happy mommy day #when he picks her up at the end of the day shes like HI MOMMMMM all giggly and hes like ????? hi???? whats this???? OPEN IT OPEN IT OPEN IT #and when he does and read it he literally drops to his knees to hug her and cry #because theres really nothing more precious than his little angel his baby his best girl #thats tommys DAUGHTER DO YALL UNDERSTAND?????? #miss maria watching them from the cubbies like: godDAMN theyre so cute #the next day tommy brings her a oat milk chai from her favorite coffee shop as a thank you because it meant a lot to him and shes like ???? #how did u know???? and hes like my brother and you ran into each other there last week yeah? he told me abt it i asked for your order #and shes like 🥹🥰🫠 thanks

girlhood

#i have to fly out to capetown to see mother and im literally debating if i could land in the morning and leave at night on the same day #like. anything longer than that is going to ruin my year. #when she called and did her “katherine. you have to be here on the 10th” i literally sobbed in my bed for the rest of the day 😍😍😍 #not dyeing my hair black for a year and its getting lighter and lighter everyday and i look like her again #and my therapist telling me “you need to do things for yourself.” but like can i? sorry that woman traumatised me and i actually cant :) #like everything i do is informed by her #I'm going to go and just like everytime the only way to keep my sanity is to mirror her. talk and sit and speak and read and eat like her #and its such a terrifying experience bc i remember that im capable of emulating her viciousness and maybe i am my mother's daugher 🤢🤢🤢 #and im going to come back and its going to take fucking months for me to feel like myself again #“oh you look so beautiful just like your mother” i hope you DIE lol !!! the fact that my conception of beauty was shaped by her #growing up with this cruel beautiful detached woman and realising that at the intersection of beauty and wickness is a lifetime of pain #and still being so desperate for her approval- for any metaphysical proximity to her that i felt elated when #people would tell me i look like her. that it meant i was also beautiful like her and maybe she'll love me a little for it #but now i know for a fact that i do look like her and it makes saliva swell under my tongue - that moment right before you throw up- #when people mention it 😍 #last time i was in capetown my optic neuritis flared up (and i know for a fact it was that it was ms-stress related from having to see her) #and i thought i hid it so well even though i had near constant headaches & lethargy until she said “katherine give me the red notebook” #and i knew that she knew all along. it was so acutely humiliating standing there and knowing she knows i cant see which one is the red one #and she tilted her head and said “whats the matter? do you not know what red looks like?” #im never going to have kids. my mother and i read eachother so well it can only mean im never too far removed from becoming her #lol!!!!!!!!!

I need to draw something with PK and Hornet there's not enough of these two together in my art

#thylacines can talk #in my au specifically she used to be SUCH a daddy's girl but then she grew up and grew bitter and resentful over her role in life. the #reason for her birth and the way her pwn sibling has been treated. She actually drifted away from both of her biological parents because #her being bitter about being concieved for a specific purpose and already having all of her life planned out for her is a big part why she #grew distant with her father and step mother so naturally it also applied to her mother. but she grew apart way more from PK and WL because #she had more grievances with them than just that one thing. Plus PK could sometimes be a little too smothering and overprotective. He truly #loves his daughter and maybe showers her with more love than usual because of what he did to his other kids but at times he doesnt know how #to reel it back. he got worse when Hornet pulled away because he was terrified of losing her which ironically made the drift bigger. #eventually they reconcile and grow closer again but they'll never be as close as they were when she was little. Or maybe they're just close #in a different way and that's alright. I don't see Hornet as an overly affectionate person so being smothered with love bugs her. She loves #her father and step mother of course she does. But she has a different way of showing it which took a little while for them to understand #and adjust to. They eventually grow close just not in that very affectionate little kid way #She actually grew closer to Vespa during her teen years as she was her teacher and mother figure and Hornet clung to her when she grew apart #from her two mothers and father. #oh a funfact. Hornet doesn't really call WL step mother. When she was little Herrah was mummy and WL was momma and now that she's older #they're both mum but she comes up with increasingly more ridiculous ways to differentiate them. She only really calls WL 'step mother' when #shes angry with her. or 'your mother' if she's talking yo her siblings. A very cheap shot that would make WL feel really shitty but makes #Hornet feel better for a while. #faaf au

insane about lucina today

#tactician's log #awakening #imagine. you’re the ONE PERSON with the power to end the nightmare your world is living through #(technically one of two or three people but the others are your younger sibling and cousin and you won’t put that on them) #you grow up knowing this. your mother and aunt and the other adults in your life try to protect you from it for as long as they can #but already the sword is in your hands and the weight is on your shoulders #over and over you watch your father’s friends die just to buy time for you to grow up enough to do what he failed to #(all because he trusted his best friend too deeply) #and when you get to the end you find that it was all hopeless anyway. one of the gemstones is gone and there’s nothing you can do about it #and there’s no other way to fix things. your timeline is lost #but because you can’t stomach the thought of all of it being in vain you decide to go back in time to try and prevent it #just so there can be ONE timeline where the apocalypse never happens. where some version of you and your friends can grow up happy and safe #it makes me INSANE man #number 1 eldest daughter syndrome haver in the world i love her so much

this part specifically

#the suzukis r so fucking WEIRD. #like you'd think they'd all just end up hating each other for all that's happened between them but no. #Toichiro wants to meet his wife #shou still talks to his mother #toichiro wants shou to stay safe. toichiro apologizes. toichiro is TRYING #toichiro cant see a way to make things better but sacrifice himself. and SHOU THINKS THAT'S STUPID. THAT'S SELFISH!!!! #it's love actually #a twisted ambiguous stumbling kind of it. but it's love regardless #ショウ ; winter shed blood & sweetness of the summer. / self. #親父。/ for the son in your arms and the blood in your hands. #ショウ ; growing past each other's hearts. / isms.

Day 2 - Beloved!

Struggled a lil bit with what to draw for today, but the other prompt ‘Ritual’ made me think of the birth constellations, and Val, my LDB, was born under The Lover! So here’s my beloved lil guy ^u^

#tesfest23 #my art #described #ids in alt text #skyrim #last dragonborn #oc: valerio #he’s mixed but he only knew his Bosmer mother growing up and didn’t know he was part Khajiit until he actually met other Khajiit who called- #-him ‘brother’ and the like. And when he asked about it they confirmed ‘? This one is an Ohmes. This one has a tail and fur yes?’ #which just blows Val’s mind AJDBSJSJ he did Not put 2 and 2 together before bless his heart #I love him sm the prompt fits if for any other reason than Val is one of if not my MOST beloved OC hwvdjs #he’s just a cute lil guy!!! he’s never done anything wrong!!! he stole your gold. he’s giving it to the beggars!!!

Seeing Waddles’ sketchbook post and Kiki’s Lauren doodle comic in such close proximity made me think like god. If Kaisa and Johanna already have this sitcom ass confusion over Hilda IMAGINE the extra layer of Johanna having another daughter

Like, Kaisa is already mortified when she learns she inadvertently flirted/set up a date with Johanna’s daughter, and Johanna has a field day teasing her about it and ends up talking about Lauren a bit in the process and does so in such a way that Kaisa, understandably, assumes this is the same daughter she spoke about before.

Blue hair? Check.

Makes friends easily? Well she seemed to organise that date pretty quick so, check.

Always getting into wacky mishaps? she pretended to be her mother so she could set her up on a date, take the god damn check.

Bonus points if in attempt to make Johanna happy Kaisa tries to take a parental role with her daughter. Who is a grown woman

#maybe Johanna mentioned at some point that she felt bad for her daughter growing up with just one parent #so kaisa was like fear not my love #for context on the date thing I like to think that after Lauren realised Kaisa was trying to flirt with who she thought was her MOTHER #she took the opportunity to organise a date #and then just came home and told Johanna the good news #queue confusion turn intense embarrassment when Johanna shows up #and Kaisa is like hey. you changed your hair #and Johanans like “’my BLUE hair?’ #and kaisa connects the dots #(Johanna probably spoke about Lauren as well in reference to a blue haired daughter) #(she just never specified she has two) #Hilda #hilda the series #netflix hilda #hilda netflix #Johanna hilda #Hilda johanna #Kaisa hilda #Hilda kaisa #kaisanna #sketchbook ship #Lauren hilda #Hilda lauren #oc #my oc #Hilda oc #headcanon #text post #Hilda headcanon #hildacanon

not to post about how people are Reading Literature Wrong but every time I see a TLT post that’s like, wow, it’s so crazy and sad how in Nona we see that Commander Wake is not a cold merciless bitch all the time and had family she cared about, tragic she never cared about Gideon, her own daughter I want to explode. put aside your weird misogyny and revisit the narrative that everyone??? seemed to get after Harrow, which is that Wake’s unwanted, basically forced pregnancy traumatized her so badly that her ghost conjured blood and syringes and wombs into Harrow’s dreams. Like, that’s the text!!! The text is that frozen blood and viscera rain on Harrow with the force of Wake’s trauma. The text is that she conceptualized her pregnancy as “The Bomb.” BTW the text is ALSO that Wake was perfectly capable of passion and human relation in Harrow so the revelation that she once bitterly complained to Pyrrha about how the imperial machine she spent her life fighting forced children to become fighters (brought up in the book where a child soldier is a major character) making people just totally redirect to some weird reading where Wake’s failure(???) to love(????) Gideon is tragic is so grating.

#I don't know how to tell you people that the capacity to love is not a mandate to love #the theme of growing up unloved but imagining her mother is part of Gideon's characterization #I don't know it's giving me really weird vibes that people are like wow so sad that Wake simply didn't care about Gideon #there's a strong affective judgment that is just. misogyny. #sorry that's my reading of your reading #your reading of the series about coerced and compromised reproduction and family structures is giving Conservatism #i won't tag this BUT #I kind of want to

Accidentally thouhght about ak*y*na . Kills myse

#.mimiming ❜ #why is it censored? because i decided that it would be for the best #soowon................ *looks into distance* #im thr biggest soowon fan ever that man is my Son (he is older than me) #i hate hate hateee how the fandom treats him #which is why i have the tag filtered #if you hate him at least do it right #'he manipulated and USED yona' he was like. seven when his father was killed by yona's father #his mother stopped viewing him as a child all the adults pushed him to become a replacement of his father #'We could not protect Yu Hon. We will not let Soo Won be harmed' #and please if soowon didnt kill il i would have #big fan of soowon guys. #imagine growing up and being pushed to become A Certain Way ever since you are like. Five #imagine seeing your mother die in front of you #imagine seeing your cousin getting love and attention from her father. the man who killed your father the man who keeps you chained #the man who is supposed to be your guardian treating you like you are scum #i think i would like il a lot more if he just. looked at soowon as soowon #not as son of yuhon #and yona and hak being probably the only ones who ever did that? it must have been painful #even kye sook.. he does see soowon as a friend and as soowon but ultimately he wants soowon to Become something #Become King . #whatever..kills myself

Visiting my grandparents who are very tiny adorable withered old Mexicans with late stage dementia and they don’t remember me or know me at ALL but my grandma tried to speak to me in Spanish and I had to be like I’m sorry I don’t speak Spanish and she was fucking AGHAST

#she goes WHAAAAT. OH MY GOD. she calls my grandpa over. goes. this person is from here and can’t speak Spanish !?!?!? #it’s so sad that she can’t speak Spanish!!! she doesn’t understand me !! she looks like she should speak Spanish !! #SORRY GRANDMAAAAAAAA #Altho it was actively her choice not to teach my mother and her siblings Spanish when they were growing up #assimilation is all fun and games until your granddaughter who you don’t know can’t understand u I guess! #<- NOT A DIG AT HER AT ALL I love my grandma and I understand why she made the choices she did !!!!! #a little sad that she had to make those choices tho

(I'm so sorry if I'm remembering this wrong, if I am feel free to ignore this) I was curious about the robot lady and her daughters relationship.. Like what is it like.

👍

#it's pretty good!! surprisingly #I'm not at all good at writing parent child interactions and relationships for some reason #but I can assure you that they are pretty cool with each other. so far #ira though gets anxious at times because her daughter literally nearly died once and she had to resort to illegal measures to keep her alive #but she seems pretty alive --and pretty undead-- so far so it's all good i guess. #besides she didn't yet reach an age when kids experience excessing cringe from interacting with family. #so I'd say she loves hanging out with her mother and overall feels pretty loved and appreciated in this family. #having to have a human brain w/ a robot body when you've barely started growing is scary but it's easier when there's family by your side ❤️ #... i think i'm underestimating the horrors of growing up w/ a single mom bc it was traumatizing for most of my friends but seems ok here. #but i still have time to think things through if anything

[idiosyncraticrednebula]

I will never forget that article from a woman who compared looking after her child to being straight up being r*ped. What is wrong with some people?

#txt #this is a statement somebody woulda made on this hellsite 7 years ago #'i have no ownership over my body' what does playing with your bby have to do with you being s*x*ally a**aulted????? #it has to do with the 'women's suffering is normalized' bullsh*t a$$ narrative #i wanted to beat the b*tch who wrote the article i´m not gonna lie #it was f*cking disgusting #she really compared looking after a bby to f*cking r*pe #i can't stand you heffas. i really can't #these kinds of 'takes' piss me off to a level you can't imagine #if i had the chance to meet that woman i'd take her child away from her. she's insane #some women do not deserve to be mothers #and she was one of them #like imagine if her son were to discover that article when he grows up #he is gonna feel like f*cking sh*t and it's all thanks to the victimhood mentality of his mother #the victimhood narrative has become another way to get attention. let's be real. many women LOVE this sh*t #nah. f*ck that b*tch and the c*nts who agree with her even a tiny bit

thinking about naruto and sasuke both taking after their mothers and finding solace in their reflections as they age

#i mean like physical features #i know w sasuke growing his hair can remind him of itachi #and i love those hcs that play around that (like surfcages artset) #but i think sasuke really takes after his mother #and ofc naruto after his mum too (minus his dads hair colour) #i really like mother/child dynamics esp esp naruto/kushina they warm my heart so much #i love how 'kushina's love' was what protected naruto from kuramas hatred for so long #i thought that was so powerful for an orphan like naruto to hear #that he was loved since he was born #tearing up rn... #p #edit: and this is separate but rereading these tags reminded me of the handmaiden #where hideko believes her mother must have hated her for causing her death at childbirth #and tamako comforts her by saying #'if your mother thought you could understand she would have said that she was so lucky to have you before dying'
