Honestly, I really love the idea that the approach with the next gen tends to be “it takes a village” just bc of how embedded the sisters are in each other’s lives. I’ve mentioned it before in the tags of this post, but the idea that you wouldn’t be able to match parents/child or siblings of each set bc you just can’t really tell. I don’t know, just the idea of Piper making cupcakes for the twins’ class while Phoebe gives Mel advice about a boy while Leo teaches Phoebe’s daughter how to drive while Henry teaches Chris how to throw a punch and so on just hits for me for some reason. 

Especially when it comes to trouble, like a demon attack during a Warren family dinner night? Paige pulls Wyatt out of the way of a Darklighter attack, and doesn’t even need to look to know that Coop and Piper will do the same thing for her daughters. Whenever trouble pops up, they’d protect any of the kids with their own life, as if they were their own, no matter whose they actually are.

#abi speaks #*pokes post* is this a childhood problem thing? bc idk why it itches my brain in the best way but it does #next gen #i fully expect this to be a just me thing tbh and im okay with that #but yeah thinking thots about how the og gen defaults to protecting the closest kid #just fully trusting that the others will do the same for theirs #also bc of how my next gen is this does in fact include half manticore baby and morris family #a dangerous situation and derek insists on putting himself in front of chris who is just like i move things with my mind!! #so coop just goes so do i :) now stay behind derek (who is the fucking fiercest parent ever pry it out of my dead hands) #meanwhile piper at 5'2 just snarling at someone while pushing the not 5'2 dj morris behind her #idk man just. i really like the idea of it takes a village for the charmed next gen #like is that TECHNCALLY their kid? no but FUCK YOU get away from my kid! #also just the next gen being able to rely on all of their parents to be there for all of them no matter what #idk man its just one of my favorite concepts #this is definitely a childhood problem thing isnt it
