[inkskinned]

this is sort of pathetic, but when you were younger, you were sort of puzzled by the cartoon representations of fathers: how a kid would be outside with a mitt, waiting to play catch.

it's not that your father never played catch with you, but you also didn't like when he did. something about a hard ball coming quickly towards your face doesn't seem exciting. not that you'd ever say you don't trust him. you trust him, right?

it's not like he never tried to teach you anything. or never tried to parent. on rare days, a strange person would walk in your father's skin. bright, happy, magnificent. this version of your father was so cheerful and charismatic that you would do anything to keep him. and this is the version of your father that would laugh and gently coax you try again. this is the version of your father that would break down the small elements of a problem and point them out so you have an easier time with them.

as a kid, those days happened more often. but somewhere around 11, you started being too much of a person, and he was often cross about it. when he'd try to sit you down to learn something, you spent the whole time with your shoulders around your ears, nervous, uncertain. terrified because you didn't immediately understand how to navigate something. worried you will run out of his goodwill and then you will have the Other Father back, and you will have ruined a good day for your entire family. something about you being visibly afraid - it just made him angry. he would accuse you of not wanting to learn and storm away.

on tv, it's not like there's a lot of versions of men-who-are-mostly-fathers. they can be good dads, but usually their stories are not told in the household. so it's normal that your father is there, but he's never around. you know he was in the house, somewhere, it's just not that you guys ever... "hung out". he just seemed to get kind of bored of you, annoyed you weren't made in his perfect image. frustrated with how much energy it took to raise a kid. over time, you kind of adopt a bittersweet band around your throat - he knows nothing about me. he says at least i never abandoned my family.

and it's technically - technically - true. he was there for you. sometimes he even made an effort and made it to the big moments; the graduations and the dance recitals. he grins and tells everyone that he taught you. it almost erases the days in between, where he complains because you need a ride to school. the weeks that go by where he doesn't actually ever speak to you. the times you say i am struggling and he says figure it out on your own. i can't help you.

and that's fine! that's all fine. you can call him if you are having a problem with your car. or if you need a ride to the hospital. he loves playing hero, he just doesn't like the actual work that comes with being a father. and you've kind of made your peace with that; because you had to, because you don't want to live your life like he does; the whole world at a managed distance, a little rotating and controlled orb he can witness and take credit for but never truly love.

as an adult, you are rewatching some dumb cartoon - and again, the child standing in the rain, with a mitt, waiting for their father to come play catch. as an adult, there's this strange creeping dread - this little thing? this little thing, and their dad can't even show up for that? oh god, holyshit, it's not about the mitt, is it. oh god, holyshit, your father spent most of your life leaving you hanging.

#spilled ink #writeblr #:) lol . anybody notice how i write about dads in second person exclusively #me: haha silly cartoon #also me: ): this child is not getting what they need #also btw this is about a father but it might apply to any parent or caregiver #there's a really weird space of like #''this person was technically around me but either ignored me or was actively harmful to me'' #and like u learn this very strange ritual of like... this person is my parent/caregiver on a technicality #that you almost spend all ur time with them like... tiptoeing and acting as THEIR parent so u don't upset them. #like you're 17 and ur mom is suddenly hit by a wave of wanting to talk to you so she's like :) lets make breakfast together :) and ur like #uhhhhhh okay?? bc you feel like this is absolutely going to go wrong and is why u usually make breakfast alone #and she starts being like: THIS is called a TEASPOON ... & u know all this stuff but you also know to just be very quiet #bc if you say like ''mom ive been making this breakfast every day since i was 13'' she would FREAK OUT and be like #DONT ACT LIKE I NEVER DO ANYTHING FOR YOU DONT ACT LIKE I DONT CARE ABOUT YOU. FUCKING DISRESPECTFUL . #so u have to smile like ur a preschool teacher and be like. OH COOL! i didn't know A CUP existed! tell me MORE! :)

Okay, but I just saw a video on Louisiana phrases, and it gave me the best idea.

In Lousiana French, "cher", dear/darling, is pronounced like a little more like shahr than shehr right??

So, like in Charlotte.

And in Louisiana French cher catin means babydoll basically. Like it's an affectionate nickname.

So imagine Alastor calling Charlie that. it's very sweet, yeah?

But the thing about catin is that it means something very different in European french.

So someone else who speaks European French overhears that and thinks it a play on catin meaning harlot.

Like in Charlotte,

And if it's like any of the main cast, they deck him on sight, right, and it gets sorted pretty quick.

But some one else who doesn't know them very well might just slide in and tell her like "hey you know he's saying something shitty right" and you get the whole misunderstandings trope, her being hurt he would say that to her face, she though they were past all of that. And him like, "Why is my friend avoiding me, what have i done?"

Ugghhhhh the angst

just an undersized father and son...

#i love when dogs and their owners make perfect sense. like yah ofc garly has a tiny white dog with eye crusties who's a little weird #someday bubba garland will come home and tell his father he wants to be a goalie [because he's “strange”] instead they'll have the #“but son you're giving up on your dreams!“ / ”no dad i'm giving up YOUR dreams” conversation #anyway. get bubba on petey's other wing and that's how we're winning the cup. you heard it here first #conor garland #canucks

I Think The Sharpes' China Is Diagetically Davenport Imari 2614 And Not Royal Crown Derby Imari 2451 And Here's Why

the earliest examples of the RCD pattern I've seen are early 1900s, though apparently they started making it in 1887. seems unlikely that the adult siblings could afford a new, large china set

but. look at what Davenport was doing as early as 1870:

It's the same. Pattern.

I know this pattern. I have spent a truly deranged amount of time staring at this pattern. I have a whole-ass tea set in this pattern approx. three yards from me in a glass-fronted cabinet at this very moment. and this is the exact same pattern, but being made (it seems to me) at least 17 years before RCD started doing it. oh, and Davenport closed its doors in 1887- the same year the RCD Imari 2451 apparently hit the market

the movie props are RCD, to be sure. I know this because I have one- a cup and saucer set from Cynthia Finlay's Antiques in Toronto, who rented the china out to the CPeak production team. but I believe that, in-story, it's actually the Davenport

thank you for coming to my "Marzi, go to bed" TED Talk

#antiques #crimson peak #Also Cynthia Finlay does take credit card orders over the phone #and at least ships to the US though I don’t know about other international destinations #just saying if anyone else wants a CPeak Relic #they seemed to have several cup and saucer sets left #which I guess makes sense considering it’s not a smash hit movie #fun fact: the set that Edith and her father use at home was also rented out to the handmaid‘s tale #but that one’s being sold as a full set and in the multi-thousand dollar range

[glass-noodle]

#I’m assuming that the majority of you who follow me ship them so I was curious. hehe #hankcon #connor #hank #dbh #detroit become human #noodle poll #if you’re curious I’m team ‘fandom made me ship them’ :) #always loved them as a duo but the more art and fic I came across #the more they started growing on me as a couple #and now. well. #it was hard to find gen fic/art that delved deep into their weird codependent bond #without veering into father/son territory (which to clarify is fine but just not my cup of tea) #and the pipeline from that to romantic feelings felt very natural #and angsty…hoohoo #and also the things people have drawn and written of them? how well their relationship has been explored by fandom?? absolutely insane #there was no way I couldn’t ship them #anyway!! I’m rambling #Hank and Connor on the brain 24/7

#can you tell i have beef with this man #everything about his choices are so wrong on so many levels and his license for practice should be fucking GONE #like if i had 15 hours i could not even BEGIN to tell you all the ways he's being unethical and failing at his job #dr jacob come fight me in a denny's parking lot i fucking DARE you #i see your “ill take my gf on a romantic trip to paris while i leave her son with his father who's trust i have completely betrayed” #and i raise you “meet me on pont neuf at sunset so we can duel to death you curdled cup of milk of a man” #you don't DESERVE to eat crepes in paris #FUCK YOU #hhhhhnnnnng this fictional character has got me in such a rage you don't even understand #it is so hard to live laugh love in these dr jacob conflict episode economies smh #i wish ted a very nice kill him pls :) #ted lasso #ted lasso spoilers #ted lasso season 3 #andis thought geyser

psa to never use fish bowls, always cycle your tank, check your nitrate levels, do 20% water changes weekly, and PLEASE never put two male cichlids together.

#i also like fisbh..unfortunately i am the only one who does #also screw petsmart and petco #they dont know shit about fish and sell bettas in cups #my father just put two cichlids from petsmart in a 10 gallon 😭😭 #they will die within a week #take care of fish 👍👍 #they are not prize awards they are living breathing animals #fishblr

I like the Bihan headcannons w/ kids, can you do the same with Smoke?

Yes Most definitely!💕

🩶 TOMAS VRBADA/SMOKE HEADCANNONS W/ CHILDREN 🩶

• Tomas is literally a family man and adores children, he would give you seven at tops. Naming your children after his birth place would bring tears to his eyes(A/N: in the game they say he is from Czech Republic)

• Tomas will make sure he is in the children’s lives at every opportunity as he is not as busy as his other brothers

• All your kids love their father, and he’s very playful with them. It is never a boring day when there daddy is home.

• His daughters always give him tiny pigtails, and sometimes do makeup with them. He accidentally came to the training, like that. It was quite the reaction he received from his brothers, especially Bi-Han

“Like your daughters don’t do this?” Tomas told Bi-Han.

“Hair yes, makeup no.” Bi-Han told him straight forward.

• Tomas is the main one that trains his boys the way of the Lin Kuei, if not him then there uncle Kuai Liang.

• Of course there favorite uncle is Kuai Liang, there favorite thing is huddling and hugging there uncle to warm them. Especially when Uncle Bi-Han throws around his cold aura

• Some of kids are reserved and the other ones are hyper and have ADHD. The boys get a kick out of messing with their uncle Bi-Han, they love getting a rise out of him. And Tomas always have to protect them from his wrath or you sometimes

Bi-Han is not a tyrant with his nieces, but it is annoying when they lecture him on being mean to their father.

“That’s not nice uncle Bi-Han. Brothers are supposed to love each other.”

“I never sa-“ Tomas daughter put a finger to Bi-Han’s lips shushing him.

“It’s okay I still love you.” She finished.

You and Tomas just melt at your daughter’s kindness to Bi-Han

“Maybe our kids will melt that hard exterior.” You told him, he only smiled at you.

• Tomas children are mainly homeschooled by you. So they don’t really go out. Unless they beg to see there godfather Liu Kang(A/N: Liu Kang is all the kids of the brothers godfather).

• They really have fun with Kung Lao and Raiden. The girls do an occasionally girls day with Katana and empress Mileena

• Tomas children are literally outgoing and the whole family loves them, Tomas family was taken from him, but now he’s been blessed with more family

Was thinking about Ye Olde Teenage Parties and the picture drew itself

#the old guard #tog #tog fanart #yusuf al kaysani #nicolo di genova #kaysanova #teenage edition #like just imagine... go on this journey with me: #yusuf frequented a lot of parties while he travelled with his merchant father. he's sort of a rich kid?? #always dressed in pretty colours and always very friendly and outgoing. do NOT tell his father he's drinking alcohol #or maybe he's not drinking alcohol and he's just really buzzing off about poetry and art idk #ye olde solo party cups #anyway like 13 year old nico snuck out of the abbey with some other dudes #who have since left him to fend for himself because no one is speaking latin or zeneize and he is Lost #then yusuf plops down next to him and either he's confusing nico for someone he knows or he's just being really friendly #talking about some romantic poet or the stars or the universe or something. and nico is like Uh huh sure okay Wow pretty guy... #and either this is an au where they met as teens or this happened in their timeline and they literally forgot / were too drunk to remember #that's it that's the fic #also NO One is allowed to bully nicolo about his little hat. he made it himself! #siggy draws

[epicsauce]

would love to know why or why not

#poll #polls #thinking back to that one post that said a little bit of you will always exist in memory/habit through things passed down generations... #because yeah.. my great grandmother who lived in the country stored her cups upside down so there wouldn't be dust or bugs trapped in them #and my grandmother after her did as well #and now my father does and now i do even though our family no longer lives in the country #its interesting to me is all. and i wanna see if others have felt this affect to some degree

[mixelation]

I'm like 90% sure youve mentioned this before but would tori introduce herself to naruto as the daughter of the inventor of cup ramen

tori: im not gonna do it

naruto: (exists)

tori: fuck im gonna do it

#tori loves eat hot chip and lie #this joke is funnier in reborn au bc 1. naruto is young enough to believe this and then 2. #naruto: it's really annoying to have a famous dad #deidara without missing a beat: you should talk to tori about her dad. he invented cup noodles #naruto: !!!!!!!! #fic: plasticity #tori: my father-- #itachi: yes the inventor of cup noodles. we know #naruto: (LOSING HIS MIND)

so I finished reading Turnabout Enemies and just about screamed throughout the entire thing— from delight and in baffled confusion in true ace attorney case fashion— so have this from one of the final scenes of the fic (chapter 21 to be specific!) because I am INCREDIBLY predictable

#my art #fanart for a fic #Ace Attorney #Manfred von Karma #Miles Edgeworth #Gregory Edgeworth #I read this fic and went "well nothing I could write at this point in time can compare to this goddamn masterpiece this fuckin rocks !'' #so I decided to do some fanart for it instead < 3 #and of course. its what im most mentally ill about regarding those lawyers #and that’s baby Miles and Manfred having a dELIGHTFUL developing father-son relationship. #and Gregory is both alive and became his friend-rival. That is MY CUP OF T E AAAAAAA #hell yeah brother #rea’s trash
