Schoolish
Me: "How was school today?" Beth: [age 14] "School was... schoolish." Me: "Schoolish?" Beth: "Yes." Me: "Wow, what a useful answer. You knew exactly what I wanted to hear, and gave it to me in a clear and extremely detailed manner. Thank you for your attention to sharing information." Beth: [shrugs] Me: ... Beth: ... Me: "OK, I'll try a different question. How did your presentation go today?" Beth: "Oh, that went really well. My partner and I didn't really get to talk before the presentation, but he did his slides, and I did my sides, and then I reformatted everything just so it all looked the same, and then we gave the presentation, and the teacher seem to like it. I thought it was one of the better presentations in the class today." Me: "And how about that math quiz?" Beth: "I don't know. I definitely got one of them wrong, but I think I did OK on the rest. But afterward, I was thinking about the question and I'm pretty sure I misunderstood it." Me: "OK, so where were all these words when I asked how school was?" Beth: "But school was schoolish." Me: "You know what I was trying to ask." Beth: "You ask an ish question, you get an ish answer."

Do you and your family have Disney Plus? I remember you mentioning that Esme enjoys Marvel, and all those super hero movies. Also, how many televisions do you have in your current house? How many did you have when you lived in Forks?
Disney+ was quite a revolution in the Cullen household for precisely that reason. We actually did not subscribe to it at first—even a household of people who don't sleep can't watch everything on every streaming service—but when Hamilton was released in 2020, Renesmee insisted. My wife has these large, performative sighs about the amount of sports I watch in a given week, and let's just say that we leveled the playing field quite a bit when she suddenly had unlimited access to all of the Marvel and Star Wars cinematic universes. We typically have around .75-1 televisions per person living in the house. At the moment we have three and there are four of us here, so about right on that average. When we lived in Forks we had 7. Edward destroyed the main one in a rage. It was one of the first 4K models ever created and had been specially ordered from Korea and to this day if he starts to get overly-agitated we all get a little defensive of the TVs. I may have once watched him stalk off toward the living room in a huff and called after him, "I brought you into this world; I can take you out of it..."

FATHERING 1
[1:1 - 1:6]
On the first day, the Gods fell from the sky in a blazing light show. Our ancestors looked on in all the awe their primitive minds were capable of, and decided they were our salvation. [1]
These Gods looked upon our world as holy, and made it their designated resting place. “This is where we will stay to die.” said Eremin, leader of the Gods. [2]
They met first, in the centre of our world. They deemed this also as a holy place. They agreed then that this area shall be a place free of war, free of strife, free of anger – even if we all fell to fighting. [3]
They saw our ancestors, saw their crude nature, saw their undeveloped minds and saw only beauty. They felt our lack of sin and temptation and deemed it only good. [4]
And there they lived in peace, their ethereal and Godly abilities giving them good lives. The younger Gods played amongst the trees and rocks and sand. The older Gods spoke and taught and lead. [5]
They were peaceful, until the Gods became restless. This life of calm was not one they were used to, and they dreamed once more of the chaos of their Home. [6]

Idea I thought would be good to suggest- maybe Sire/Dam instead of Father/Mother since they're less gendered and focused specifically with bio relations? Idk if that makes things more complicated or not. If you did that I'd have a field that's just Father/Mother parents that are parenting. (I'm not sure if I'm overstepping or not. If I am feel free to just ignore this!)
im assuming ur referring to the wiki
halfway through writing the infobox for the wiki i was like "why dont i just put parents. why do i have to separate it mother/father/parent. it would be so much easier" but i was stubborn and didnt want to go back and i like getting needlessly specific it hits something in my little funky monkey brain
sire/dam kind of works. im not sure how popularized it is... honestly i only know it in relation to canines haha... i think its still pretty gender-ized when ur calling someone a sire and dam, but if you said something like "Trans woman sired a child with cis woman" (over saying "trans woman fathered a child") i think its less genderized because its an action yknow, but calling a trans woman a sire or a trans man a dam might be? because they're still heavily masc or fem coded words
uncertain where the world stands on it haha

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt

Obsessed with characters who portray themselves as worse than they are. Who are lying to everyone including themselves about it. People generally assume if someone's lying about themselves they're trying to look better but sometimes they're trying to look worse. They attribute agency to where they had none, add intend to accidents, try to convince everyone that this is something they did instead of something that happened to them.

Wyll being a terrible monster hunter is something that is so special actually. told to hunt heartless devil? immediately convinced of her goodness and humanity and without hesitation agrees to defy the devil who has his soul in custody and spare karlach at tremendous personal physical cost. vampire in camp? well hes handsome and funny and pretty polite about where he puts his teeth so it’s fine all things considered. finding out the person who ritualistically disemboweled a tiefling in front of him is a bhaalspawn like an unholy progeny of the god of murder that is culturally immediately reviled? no that’s his friend and he completely trusts in their ability to fight their nature with their own inner light. it doesn’t matter that they created the absolute they’re not that person anymore. Like Wyll. you are literally categorically not hunting the monsters. guy of all time

Apocalyptic Fire Squid
Beth: [age 15] "Do you think I could make a living painting post-apocalyptic landscapes?" Me: "Uh... Are you any good? It's been a while since you painted anything." Beth: "I just discovered a painting I did in 7th grade. It's a fire squid living in a cave after the end of the world." Me: "You just discovered it?" Beth: "I re-discovered it. We were supposed to paint animals. Everyone else in the class did a dog or a cat. I wonder what the teacher thought flipping through all the paintings: dog, dog, cat, dog, cat, flaming post-apocalyptic squid, dog...." Me: "What exactly makes the squid flaming and post-apocalyptic?" Beth: "It lives in a cave at the beach alongside a barren landscape of smoking ruins as far as the eye can see, and It's constantly on fire, even when it's in the water." Me: "Well, naturally. Why would I even ask? Of course, you are welcome to paint more fire squids. I think we still have some oil paint and a couple of blank canvases, and you can always paint over old canvases you don't like anymore." Beth: "I think I might. The fire octopus has really been on my mind." Me: "On your mind in what way? You think one is going to show up?" Beth: "They're already here, just hiding out, waiting." Me: "So there are currently pre-apocalyptic fire squids lurking around somewhere?" Beth: "Shhhh. Not too loudly. You don't want to attract one." Me: "Hmm. If you don't paint, you should write."

Damian: Baba. I’ve acquired an enemy at the academy. He’s been ripping my drawings, teasing me about my lineage, and smearing your honor. I understand murder can’t happen. How shall I proceed?
Bruce: [Has a flashback of Thomas driving to his bully’s house, spiked brass knuckles on his hands, petting his head and smiling dangerously, ‘I’ll be right back, chum!’]
Bruce: …I’ll talk to his parents.
Damian: Todd?
Jason: Finally, an excuse to tackle a 10 year old.

I know it is my father's first time on this Earth, too. And I know He had it worse when he was little.
But I was little too.
