#I’m just a kid trying his best

[failbaby]

Also people who get mad at Naomi for buying Kendall a watch are missing the point I think. The point is not that she’s an asshole and it’s a shitty gift, the point is that Kendall has alienated just about everybody except for his brand new girlfriend who doesn’t really know anything about him. A nice watch is actually a perfectly acceptable gift for someone you’ve been casually dating for two months (imo), the problem is that Kendall doesn’t want a casual budding relationship, he wants to be deeply known and understood and loved despite all of his flaws and rot and ugliness (hence the autobiographical birthday party), and the only person who has actually stayed in his life just doesn’t provide that for him. He feels so much guilt and shame over the waiter and all he wants is to be loved by someone who knows how flawed he is and stands by him anyway, and there is no one like that in his life

#not that I’m trying to be Naomi’s defense attorney I actually find her super annoying #oc #I mean who knows Kendall the best #his siblings who he’d just gotten in a huge falling out with #his parents who want nothing to do with him #his wife who is completely uninterested in him and just wanted to drop off a present from his kids who he hasn’t seen in months #and maybe Stewy who wasn’t at the party #he has no one except Naomi and Naomi doesn’t understand him the way he wants to be understood

Feanor’s Legit Family Issues

Look, i’m not saying that Feanor was a swell guy to be around (especially his step mom and half sibs) (with the only exception being nerdanel and his sons of course (good dad and husband feanor for the win))

But if i, and only i, had been the only child whose parents were divorced and father remaried in the entirety of the country, AFTER my mom died in childbirth(specifically mine), and then chooses to not come back to me, specifically bc of the gods in order to let my dad remarry a woman who’s been mooning after my dad since before my mom died, and to have all that essentially be thrown in my face constantly bc people gossip and rumors spread,

I too would have an enormous inferiority complex and be ready to throw hands at any given second, whether it be at my father, his family, or the gods themselves.

Let Feanor be angry and frustrated with his family situation, bc it’s a legit mess and no one should have expected for him to just “deal with it” when he was a kid when this all went down and no one had any idea what to do.

(Ps, friendly reminder that they didn’t have therapists at the time and were essentially only just starting to really create a stable civilization, so no one would know how to deal with this situation, especially since it’s literally one of a kind, and it looks like the finwe fam was not that good at communicating)

#feanor #the feanorians are a mess #finweans #finwe #valar #silmarillion #it’s a fucking mess #feanor is just a guy #not evil or good #just trying his best #it’s ok for him to have emotions that aren’ positive 100% of the time #he’s still a good father and husband though #finwe should take notes #no seriously #finwe needs to get his act together #ngl i’m giving indis the side eye #there’s just something anout her #that rubs me the wrong way #i do feel bad for finwe and indis’s kids though #they did not sign up for this #neither did feanor #also #valar! #square up! #why are you like this? #conservative cunts #miriel #you also have a responsibility to your son #jfc it’s a mess #they all need therapy

Darius Deamonne hate is rooted in antiblackness idc

#Addae.txt #because y’all couldn’t wait to embrace Alador as a ‘redeemed’ father for his kids #(we don’t even know if Edric and Emira think about all this) #which is understandable because they’re side characters but still #and yet people claim Darius adopting hunter doesn’t make sense because he was ‘mean’ to Hunter in ASIAS #Lilith tried to kill Luz in S1 (love her tho) but y’all ain’t have problems calling her Luzs auntie #I’m just saying. y’all are more eager to accept parental/familial roles for the white adults of the show #but won’t even try to give Darius the same grace #because we all know if black characters don’t have the best impression when they officially debut they’re either villianized or written off #as ‘boring’ #first example is Darius second example is Gus but this post isn’t about him rn #‘but what has Darius done for Hunter’ 1) helped him establish connection with people outside of the emperors coven #hunter is intentionally isolated from everyone else to keep him from becoming ‘influenced’ into eventually ‘betraying’ Belos #by giving hunter a phone (??) Hunter slowly gains the social/emotional connections with kids his age he’d been deprived ove his entire live #2) Hunters developed a love of sewing because of Darius which becomes an important outlet for hunter

I saw that other ask about Zuko ending up firelord in LIAB and I'd just like to add on to that my thoughts abt it in the original show- was it just me or did it feel really out of character for Iroh to try and push Zuko into a major leadership role at 16?? Like how did he possibly think that was a good idea, what with all the seriously heavy burdens that it would bring on to Zuko? Not to mention Zuko has had barely any chance to be a regular teenager for a second throughout the show, what with the 3 year banishment and then he's immediately pushed to be firelord.. Also the fact that firelord feels really unfitting for Zuko?? He's shown to not be a good leader. I feel like coming out of a 3 year banishment and awful childhood I don't think he'd want to be surrounded by constant reminders of his abusive father and not to mention be in the same role his *abusive father* was in... Sorry for the impromptu and slightly incomprehensible rant... this is still one of my biggest gripes in the show. Btw your writing is wonderful and im so excited for the next chapter of LIAB! Have a great day :D

Hiiii!! (here is another impromptu & very incomprehensible rant)

I think Zuko would have been a good fire lord if he was given the proper training & support. But I have to say I think it was completely in character for iroh to do that to Zuko…

I enjoy iroh but I think his character is EXTREMELY flawed & his way of helping zuko develop from a young angry hurt 13 year old boy could have been handled a lot better. Yeah yeah he isn’t zukos dad but he signed up to mentor and be there for Zuko so he could have mentored him a little more. (a lot more - I don’t think is was likely Zuko had any growth from 13-16 because he was pretty awful at season 1 and disrespected everyone including iroh and was in so much denial about his situation it was SCARY)

I could go on & on about iroh and his missed opportunities with zuko but I think irohs “Zuko will overcome and he is good inside” way of thinking is what prompted him to plop his teenage nephew on that throne even though he was like 3 days into his redemption (ok yeah it was maybe a month? Idk but not very long). The anger, sadness, self doubt, unhealthy coping mechanisms were all still there - but iroh is very…. ‘He’s got this I believe in him’

Even if it means zukos going to struggle and stumble over himself and work extra hard to try and be a good leader with (let’s face it) almost no healthy leadership experience. (5 minutes into being aangs fire bending trainer he is yelling at him. his idea of how to get aang to take training more seriously is to attack him - yeah let’s give him a fucking country! Yiiipeeeeeeee)

If iroh cared about Zuko he would hang up his tea uniform, take his RIGHTFUL place as fire lord and have Zuko become his crowned prince and start learning how to be fire lord while UNCLEEEEE took the initial burden of becoming fire lord right after the war. But nahhhh let’s invent boba or whatever he was fucking doing in BSS

*deep breath* sorry… I promise I LIKE iroh… I just….. DISAGREE with his methods.

Sorry about my rant anon haha

#(but iroh deserves to retire - blah blah blah - #NO! you get your dragon of the west ass back in the FN & finish this the right way) #I don’t even understand how that works out #did iroh think because he liberated BSS from the FN he could stay?? #did he get a pardon?? #where’s zukos community service?! #kid burned down kyoshi island he needs to go clean that up #idc if it’s already cleaned up making him sweep the dojo and polish uniforms #sorry anon I appreciate your ask #but yeah irohs whole method with Zuko is just… yeah #it’s ok to be a LITTLE more assertive when it’s for their own good #if a child is wandering close to the edge of a cliff do you #a. say - ‘child do you believe the path you are taking will lead you to safety or peril?’ #b. yell - ‘ARE YOU TRYING TO DIE?! GET AWAY FROM THAT LEDGE!’ #c. snatch his ass up so fast and plop him down in a safe area and then go over the dangers of CLIFFS #I’m going to go with c… but that’s just me #you’re the best anon have a great day #yippiieeee glad you’re liking liab!!! #can’t wait for some zukka next chapter:):):) #ask #liab

Kaveh definitely wants at least one child of his own. Partially to continue his family line, partially bc he himself loves the idea of having a family of his own. He would however like to move out of Alhaitham’s place before he even dares consider getting a partner to begin with. And the longer he stays there, the more stress he feels thinking about it. He even has sketched out nursery ideas and plans on how to raise them all set to go, if only he'd get out of debt fast enough-

Furina also really wants to have a child of her own. She adores seeing the families around Fontaine, and has dreamed a great deal what parenthood would be like. Nothing brings her joy than when children about Fontaine invite her to join in on the little games they are playing, leaving her giddy and smiling bright as sunshine on her way home. Of course she knows that to be a parent, she really has to get her shit together. One can't just rear a child on macaroni and residual payments, after all.

#hc; kaveh #//Mans is stressing #//He’s like ‘I’m damn near pushing 30; I should have my life together by now aaAAAA’ #//Do like the idea of Haitham & Kaveh coparenting though #//Them raising a kid together; be it romantically/qp involved or just like #//Some Full House situation type beat lol #//Haitham does like helping kiddos learn after all. And it would make SO much a lot easier for Kav #//Kaveh would preferably want an even number of kids if he has a partner; so they don't ever feel lonely #//If it's just him & his kiddo; then yeah; he's a little more fine w only one. But he really wants them to have someone to fall back on jic #hc; furina #//She's had thoughts of having children of her own for damn near 500 years #//Which she knew would be Impossible; her role came first and foremost #//But now that she's free from that obligation; the thoughts came welling back up #//It's not entirely why she wants to stand on her own right and get better at so many things; but it is part of it #//She'd love the idea of having her own little family at last #//Though her Salon Solitaire buddies will have to do djbhgjfd #//She doesn't actually know how many she wants tho; maybe one if she's single; but whatever her partner is down for; she would be too #//She would be such a doting mom hjcbffg #//She genuinely wouldn't even mind not having a partner if it came down to it. She will most certainly be able to handle a kiddo on her own #//She thinks that; yet she also most certainly get overwhelmed Real quick at first #//Esp since she'd be such a sympathetic crier when it comes to her babu. & bc she already feels the urge to cry when frustrated #//But she would try her best #//Would absolutely consult with The Gals each and every time she needs anything #//Deffo would be the type to get matching outfits for her and her kid jffghh

the headcanon that lucy and benjamin had a miscarriage prior to having johanna is very interesting to me, but i've never liked it and today i finally realized that i'm not a fan is because if he's known child loss before, then benjamin would've went after getting johanna first instead of getting his revenge.

#it's also my own personal headcanon that lovett and albert started trying for a baby after lovett got jealous of the barkers #and it ended in loss #i just think that if he lost one kid then he would be too determined not to loose his daughter #and i don't want there to be that parallel between lovett and todd #since that was deprived from envy as things commonly are for her #i don't know how to put it into words right now #i could see them struggling with infertility but i don't love that headcanon either since as compared to lovett #lucy is the perfect victorian woman of their status #and unfortunately that would make her less of a perfect woman #but then again lovett wouldn't know that so?? #the tags are just me rambling #and lovett and lucy were best friends first okay #it's interesting to think about how lovett's jealousy tore apart their friendship and adds depth to their interactions in the show #*❈ ‣ i’m a silly little ninnynoodle — ( ooc. ) #tbd. #miscarriage tw #child loss tw #infertility tw

Imma just start talking bout my ocs as if they’re real ass dudes. they’re real in my head. mori is waving

#crow thoughts #I need to finish redesigning prometheus sighhh. well his monster form at least #being in a general slump just makes you wanna draw and ignore everything #im trying not to. I’m trying my best to make an effort of communication #but damn whatever this is has hands in literally being beaten to a pulp here 💀 #going to make up random ass lore bout mori on the spot okay GO #mori fucking hates raw fish because they had to eat it so much as a kid surviving on their own

[sleepdeprivationandcoffee]

If any of you plan on having kids, please for your sake please have a good support system. I mean people who will take kiddo for a few hours so you can sleep/clean/relax without stressing, people who will help with chores and help pick up the slack when you start feeling worn thin, and people who will encourage and remind you that you’re doing great. It’s so so so hard when you can’t get the help you need.

Future parents, please do this for yourself. Please ask for help and build yourself a safety net of people you trust to care for you like you would care for them.

#I’m am not great and it’s not my kid’s fault at all #I just physically have not been away from her more than 2 weeks (collectively) since she was born #I have had little to no babysitting #my partner daughter and I share a room with our dog #while cleaning his parent’s hoard so we can have more space in the downstairs #my family has been so weird going between actually loving to cold/rude/critical when I don’t let them treat me like a doormat #my CPTSD and bipolar have been ripping me apart mentally #I’m so so so tired and sad and upset and guilty for everything I’m feeling #for little outbursts of yelling/slamming stuff down/shutting down entirely/feeling disdainful towards everyone around me for short periods #none of this is okay #I’m trying so hard to get the help I need and I’m getting there I’m so close guys I’m so close #but I’m breaking under the weight of it all #if it wasn’t for my partner I would’ve certainly killed myself in the past couple years #he’s been my rock and best friend from the moment I met him #and he’s the only thing keeping me together #uuuugh long rant uh #just please take care of yourself before you lose friends and find familial relationships stressed/broken

I like to think that Gus’ room becomes FILLED TO THE BRIM with pics of him and Hunter just being goofy bros bc you KNOW they spend too much time together and Gus takes pictures of EVERYTHING they do. Lots of selfies between the two of them.

#the owl house #toh #gus porter #Toh hunter #also!!!! to those whom it concerns I will be answering all of the asks in my inbox!!! #i just have WAY too busy of a schedule to do. anything right now #I’m making this post on the middle of me packing up my whole room #bc I decided I wanted to wait until the day before I move to pack everything :))))) #ANYWAYS Gus’ whole photo album on his scroll if just stupid pictures of Hunter #he has SO MUCH BLACKMAIL ON THAT KID #whereas Hunter makes a POINT to ONLY try his best to take good pictures of Gus #and deletes all of them that look bad #bc Gus deserves only the highest quality

oh toilet cry, i have not missed you

#trying to ring parents about their kids not progressing on reports #ahead of reports coming out next week #and i rang this one kids mum about him not progressing in two areas #and she just. was not happy with me. #she was all ‘i should have found out about this earlier so i could have done this and that with him’ #and like. she’s not wrong? but also it’s been a crazy year for the class and im a first year baby who’s come in halfway through #and no! i didn’t even know he wasn’t going to progress until this point! #i should have known but i didn’t bc i’m a baby trying her best #the kid works well in class but when it came to assessment he couldn’t demonstrate enough to reach the six months of growth to progress him #and she just. made me feel guilty. #but idk. she also said he was top of the class at his last school and for motivation and kindness? yeah. not for maths. #he’s not even at a year 5 level so…. idk. countries vary but by That much? #i just feel shit about it now ugh #my post tag

Batfamily fans are annoying because they hate Bruce, Batdad fans are annoying because they woobify or reduce Bruce, neither of them give a shit about the villains as the secondary main characters, nor Gotham as any atmospheric or thematic weight other than “backdrop city,” the main comic titles currently are catering so heavily to the weekly Twitter discourse it’s actually a real fucking problem, etc etc.

And then meanwhile I’m over here defending The Dark Knight Returns and trying to figure out what the hell to do with my realization I don’t give a fuck about Dick as Nightwing.

#If I had the gumption or the care to be more of an essay writer about Batman #I’d take a crack at trying to express how constantly reducing Robin to Batman’s CHILD is actually a little… #like yes he was Dick’s guardian #and yes he legally adopted Jason #and Tim #Damian’s his biological son etc etc #but the child fantasy of Robin is just as much being Batman’s best FRIEND as it is getting to drive the Batmobile as a 10-year-old #Robin and Batman are partners and they’re best fucking friends #and yes it’s a grown ass man treating a kid as his equal #because it’s FUN. and it’s fun best contrasted with the villains being the most HORRID fuckin’ people you have ever seen #just as Bruce/Batman needs to be a harmony between terrifying violence and unrelenting compassion #Batman and Robin need to be a balance of absolutely child’s logic and ultimate good vs Very Fuggin Scary evil #evil that’s Very Fuggin Scary and then meanwhile death traps and fights on giant memorabilia #and I’ve got wider issues with the ever expanding Batfamily #but I think reducing Bruce to this hyper anxious love lug of a Dad backing cookies for everybody as a defense against Batjerk takes #and what have you #is equally… not it. #I’m in a Batman mood ignore me.

thinking of qpp prongsfoot in their 30s/40s who’d devoted their entire life to harry (and any other potential kids) and now that he’s moved out of the house, have so much free time on their hands that they don’t know what to do with.

so they pick up new hobbies, travel around the world, learn how to live as individuals, fall in love all over again.

#james potter #sirius black #prongsfoot #like i just imagine these two not even taking their eyes off harry bc they’re so obsessed w him #and they wanna see every part of his growth ykno? #they’ve tried to do little odd jobs here and there but the fear of missing out on anything in his childhood terrifies them #so they decided to just stay at home #and delay harry moving out as long as possible #but it does happen and now they’re floundering #empty nest syndrome at its best (worst?) #like literally. they walk around like zombies for the first few weeks bc all their routines are out of whack #and they’ve forgotten how to live a life that’s not centred around their kid #but then like. sirius picks up a new hobby. say baking #and he’s just stress baking all over the place which means james is apparating across the continent #trying to give away the goodies to friends and family & random acquaintances before they go bad #in the process he discovers he actually likes all this travel and hustle and bustle and socialising? #so he drags sirius along with him too #and they get trinkets back for harry from everywhere they go #and slowly discover a whole new world that they hadn’t been able to as kids/young adults raising a child #anyway. yeah. i’m just really here for middle aged prongsfoot being in love ykno? #pen’s notes

#hi I am back with a long tag post about how I can’t keep up with life #very boring 30 year old stuff that I am struggling with very much and isn’t interesting to anyone #but I just put on my hobi playlist to feel better and instead sobbed so hard to just dance (which is a very happy song I don’t even enjoy) #that my pillow is soaked through so obviously sleep isn’t gonna happen until I get this out somewhere #so first. get this. one of my best and longest friends gets engaged and lets 1.5 months go by before she bothers to tell me #in front of four other friends who are decidedly less close to her but we all found out simultaneously. #Bad enough. you get confronted with the fleetingness of life and friendships and how everything changes even when you don’t want it to. #then. you talk it out. another friend’s dad just died. another one just bought a house and is moving away #engaged friend comes by again? And suddenly says she’s gonna get try to pregnant within the remainder of the year #and suddenly I’m hit with the fact that our friendship will never be TBE same and the life I thought we would live together is just not #gonna line up? We’re not gonna hit the clubs we’re not gonna go on adventures we’re not gonna paint the town red now that I’m a little bit #more chill re: covid. All of that? Gone. i thought I could make up for all of it but all my friends are in stages I’m not in #and with kids neber will be in? i won’t have a kid. i knew this but I didn’t /know/ this I won’t be able to follow #I’ll be aunt amber and I’ll love all their kids to the moon and back but I won’t follow. i know I don’t want kids #but I don’t think I thought about it before. what that would mean in relation to others #and I also just pictured myself with my own baby and though I don’t want it I never envisioned it and now I can’t stop crying #over the fact that I won’t have a baby. And it’s by choice yes but it doesn’t make it easy???????? #I’m suddenly saying goodbye to a life I’m closing the door on and that’s. terrifying #and I’m so. so scared I’ll end up all alone and never find love or fulfilment #30 is great in terms of feeling calmer and knowing what you want bht this whole ………. this whole thing? #i HATE it I HATE it I can’t stop crying and I’m panicking I HATE IT #FUCK. CHANGE TRULY FUCK IT ALL #and FUCK everything the last two years have taken away from me and how low I was because of it and how hard my friendships got because of it #can I STOP crying now that would be GREAT

So I watch a lot of horror movies and I’ve recently discovered doesthedogdie so I can look up warnings if I hear that something I’m interested in is particularly disturbing, or if I want to recommend one to my sister who’s a little more sensitive than I am, I’ll just go to the site and screenshot the pages to send her to judge whether she can handle it.

Very helpful site, honestly more entertaining than it should be. Sometimes I spend hours just looking for movies I’ve already seen and checking out what people have to say.

But sometimes I get curious about what kind of content is potentially triggering in non-horror movies, which led me to looking up Encanto because of course, and some of the answers are very funny.

This is not at all to make fun of the triggers, I’m just laughing at the juxtaposition of very sweet answers warning of dead fish and reassuring u that all the black characters live with like,, mirabel is gaslit by her grandmother and bruno’s experiences could be reminiscent of ableist abuse.

#encanto #my words #again I stress I am not trying to make fun of anyone’s triggers #me personally I always get so sad when a kids toy gets destroyed in a movie and was very surprised to learn that it’s a common trigger #in saw 3 (best saw movie don’t even fight me) a dad was forced to throw his dead daughters teddy in a fire and boi I BAWLED #or was it saw 2 #I’ve only seen the series once but I stand by 3 being my fave I just can’t remember which one had the dead teddy rip in pieces #mr jigsaw I’m coming to ur house square up binch
