“Take care of my brother for me, won’t you?”

“As much as he’ll allow.”

I said this before. I will keep saying it:

Stop telling the young people that they don’t deserve the love and support of an entire community of generations above them.

Isolation is abuse.

Fiora:You know you could’ve died yesterday, right?

Shoichi:I could’ve.

Fiora:So you admit you’re an idiot.

Shoichi:No, because if I were an idiot, I would get into far more mundane trouble.

Drawing them with a baby yesterday made me think about if I thought Prestonbart would have kids and the answer is not necessarily but IF they were to have a kid, it would be in this sort of constellation. Carol decides to have a kid, asks Bart and/or Preston to be a known donor, they discuss this with each other and eventually decide yeah, a kid sounds rad, but they'd like to be properly involved, as dads not just fun uncles. So -- et voilà -- three parent family. Also, the free space in this image bothers me immensely.

furiously typing a vaguepost about how my sperm donor post isn’t about jod and also cannot be about jod. JOD IS NOT A SPERM DONOR!! He is A DAD who didn’t know he was a dad. The instant he found out he had a kid he stepped the fuck up and made her an evil colonialism prince. Now Wake, on the other hand—

#wake is the ultimate tlt sperm donor. change my mind #you can split hairs all day long about how she’s technically a surrogate and not a sperm donor but at the end of the day LISTEN TO ME. #SHE IS A SPERM DONOR. TO ME. #she meets ALL the sperm donor criteria: #1. The conception/pregnancy/birth was planned and not accidental #2. She contributed genetic material but is crucially not a parent to the resulting child #and 3. It’s funny #tlt #commander wake #awake remembrance of these valiant dead #the locked tomb #jod #ejg #mine

Just imagine Marie sneaking Jordan into her room for whatever reason (pipes blew?), while Emma is out cold. She might not even be there or be forever lost in the fluff and puff of her blanket.

In the morning, Jordan just lays there with Marie on their chest, staring into the ceiling. They are bored, but they also feel like it's soon going to be time to pee. But Marie is so warm (which is a minus in the some terms) and she's deep into her sleep, which seems to be very peaceful. Jordan can't even reach their phone. They are bored. And the bed is smaller. But the other side of the the room start rustling.

''Hey,'' Emma is sleepy, but already smiling like she knows. But she doesn't, nothing happened.

''Hi,'' Jordan slowly turns to look at Emma, ready to roll their eyes, ''Don't, just don't,''

''What?'' She snickers at their shifty look, ''Just don't let me see you butt, please,'' Emma said it so matter-of-factly, Jordan looked at her in almost horror, but then they watch her turn away and say.

''But I see yours already,''

''WHAT?'' Immediately, she turns back only to realise she's still in her sweatpants.

Jordan really tries not to shake with laughter.

Someone PLEASE get Denji and Asa both an adult who cares about them and wants to protect them in their lives ASAP! They need a guardian! It can be the same person idc but they need someone! Like, I know this story doesn’t have the surrogate father/brother figure anymore (rip Aki-47) but we need a whole new character who is like “Um?? You are a childrens? Wtf I’m gonna make of you dinner and pay the rent I need to speak to the manager of this manga.” Cross referencing but like someone transfer Gintoki, Nanami, Kazuki (Buddy daddies) Shion, Reigen idk any of the dad figures to take care of these two!

#chainsaw man #csm denji #asa mitaka #csm asa mitaka #denji hayakawa #jfc they need parent figures!! #they need someone who puts them first!! #where are you surrogate father to these two?? #kazuki kurusu #yamada asaemon shion #reigen arataka #nanami kento #sakata gintoki #import them all!

"their relationship is romantic" "their relationship is familial" "their relationship is platonic" you're thinking too narrow. their relationship goes beyond labels. the family is inherently queer. their platonic love is romantic. the erotic is familial. each one is the other and the other is them

#.txt #i've gotten to the point of relationship anarchy where i no longer understand the obsession with labeling relationships #there's a post floating around like 'it doesn't matter if you view them as romantic or platonic the point is that they love each other' #and i get the message. however may i propose that distinctions such as that don't even have to matter. consider #bold claim probably. but whatever i didn't have the choice to think about love in a normative way and as a consequence i have thoughts #of course i am thinking about wincest but it applies everywhere. jopzier even #jopson views crozier as a surrogate parent but in an inherently queer way. does that mean he want to fuck his mom? probably not #but the fixation and need for redemption turns the traditionally familial relationship into something far more #do you understand #once you leave the normative behind labels become useless #do sam and dean love each other romantically or platonically or familially? consider: it doesn't matter. there are no words to describe it #their love is queer in the sense that it extends beyond normativity. society holds no sway over them. they are ungovernable #i find it ultimately unhelpful to discuss fiction in normative terms when the characters themselves exist outside of normative society #shows like supernatural and the terror are perfect examples. sam and dean were never normal and franklin crew left normal behind #the arctic doesn't care if you fuck your mom. the impala doesn't care if you kiss your brother #this isn't really about anything i just saw that post the other day and i was like. why doesn't this Hit for me. well this is why #however it IS helpful to discuss fiction set within normative society in relation to normativity. it's relevant! #most stories are not however set within the bounds of normativity. that's kinda the whole point of a lot of fiction #baby i explore relationship anarchy in ways that you couldn't even imagine #<-tldr #i have a tendency to write essays in the notes every time i post something. sorry about that. it feels safer here and i am skittish

I remember seeing this photo as a teenager after a few years as an online mcr fan and being like OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

#literally like so embarrassing how did they couple cosplay these people and then went on to surrogate parent their kid like what 😭

I volunteered as a surrogate mother for a koala, I even had a pouch surgically attached. It was for an extinction prevention program.

The O'Shaugnessy/Abernant father-daughter scenes were designed in a lab to make me cry

It’s funny because every awful thing Coriolanus does I’m not even shocked by; his character has been so well established as someone so driven and mistrusting that I can’t get mad I just sigh and go, ‘yeah, that’s what I thought you’d do you piece of shit.’

#the indecision at certain points as a way to assuage his guilt and hope for the best are fascinating #but at the end of the day he’s so self serving and he can’t stand to be honest or vulnerable #I wanted him to be better but I didn’t expect him to be because it wasn’t in his nature #every awful thing is perfectly in character #the only part that really disgusted me was his staying in contact with the Plinth parents and being their surrogate son #that’s so fucked up esp for Ma #—he and mr. P are close enough as people but Ma? the mother of the boy he got killed who still thinks the world of him? #(I don’t know why that is my limit. maybe I just can’t stand people taking advantage of goodwill. or I really dislike hypocrites. anyway) #a ballad of songbirds and snakes #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #the hunger games #thg #Coriolanus snow #my post #tbosbas #tbosas

One day fandoms at large will realise that having a found family or surrogate parental figures does not necessarily make someone's blood family/parents irredeemable monsters. But for now we wait

#look anika's talking! #this is about. a LOT of deku fics. but also buck from 911 can we be fr #his parents fucked up severely and continuous but dawg they are trying and if he and maddie forgive them.. #also i love a good surrogate parental figure but also some ppl are so quick to overdo it 😭 deku is a highschooler and buck is a grown man
