thinking back on the time that I trapped myself in my room for two years and avoided as much human interaction as possible due to overbearing anxiety—and understanding now that it was an extremely unhealthy coping mechanism of self-isolation and not "laziness" or being an "antisocial weirdo" and I'm proud that I pulled myself out of that and am so much happier for it

🖊️ Lirin/Hesina
"I don't want to know," Lirin said, his tone distressed.
"Well I do," Hesina insisted. "He was my son, too."
She had pictured Tien's death a thousand ways, and for her peace of mind she needed to narrow it down to one.
"Then I won't be there when you ask," Lirin sighed. "Pailiah knows you'll probably get farther with him if I'm not there."
Normally she would argue to face it together, like most things in life. But Hesina understood her husband. Knowing might break him.
"I'll ask Kal tonight, after supper," she said, and her stomach clenched in anticipation.
Ask game

Also one thing I did not anticipate about finally passing to Some extent (I still mostly don't I just like to strut around like I do) is how different other men treat me now. The main thing is just how weird it is to be offered a handshake greeting/farewell instead of a hug (SO weird to me, a known hug enjoyer)... like why are you allergic to giving me a hug...

Probably unpopular opinion but… James would have been a better parent than Lily, and probably would have been the one to adjust to parenthood the easiest.
oooooh, controversial, anon
i feel like my answer to this would be equally unpopular but i agree with you
and the thing is, there's no specific reason for it, either. absolutely no basis in canon (where we see examples of lily's parenthood, not james) but i just--am really biased towards my boy ykno?
in addition to viewing james as nurturing/like a caretaker, i also feel like lily was the more selfish of the two. and more independent as well. so she would take time to adjust to this entire human depending on her whereas james is a fkn sponge--he'll love having harry attached to him at all times. he was also a lonely child who adored his parents and wanted something similar to that whereas lily's family situation was, well. ykno.
so yeah, i dont know if i'd call it a better parent, exactly (james was almost def the more indulgent of the two, and would always put harry's happiness over everything, even if it could be detrimental so he had his faults) but i do think he was a natural parent and it came harder to lily.
