Anonymous asked: Wait, I signed up for a trans kid when I decided to become pregnant? Are you joking or are you really that crazy?
Hey there,
I’m not joking at all and I don’t really see how this would be a laughing matter to you.
Yes, you signed up for a trans kid. And while we are at it, you also signed up for a disabled kid. Autistic kid. Gay kid. A kid who doesn’’t look like you. A deaf kid. A kid who will have interests that don’t match up with yours at all. You signed up for a shy kid and a loud kid and a kid who wets the bed and a sick kid.
That’s the beauty, the miracle of parenthood, don’t you agree? You decide to care for a little person you don’t even know yet. You decide to open your heart and home to them, you promise to nurture and love and protect a tiny human being. How can you promise that, if not unconditionally?
You can’t pick and choose your kid. Maybe even more importantly, they can’t choose you. They depend on you to keep that promise - and not only if they live up to whatever expectations you had.
With all my love,
Tumblr Dad
There'd be an entire blog dedicated to documenting all of his sassy remarks. And the provisional license kids will just troll and add things he never actually said and nobody would ever know because it sounds like something he WOULD say.
When Shoto Todoroki becomes a pro hero and starts patrols, every once in a while he's going to run into a kid or a preteen that remembers him from his provisional license exam and just casually calls him "5 Weenies" and there's nothing Shoto can do about it.
the need to talk about the characters vs the fear that all of my analysis is just empty prose and surface level understanding
1. Movie/TV Shows (love rating them and can make a power point presentation on every plot point and story beat)
2. Musicals (funny songs go brr)
3. Books/Web Comics (I spent 20 minutes last night explaining every key detail my friend needed to know in order to understand why I was so excited to read the latest chapter)
4. Politics/Religion (specifically used as plot points in a story, I eat that shit up)
5. Mental Health!!! (I'm a big advocate for mental health and have done a lot to keep myself aware of other mental illnesses and the importance of having a proper support system)
I saw this meme going around on twitter and I think it'll be perfect for this account.
List 5 topics you can talk on for an hour without preparing any material.
Hello, I am asking people to fill out a Google Form for my stats class. I need (at least) 20 participants, and I am collecting data on breakfast consumption and sleep to see how stress is effected. Data is collected for 4 groups (5 people each). The groups are as follows:
No breakfast & 4 or less hours of sleep
No breakfast & more than 4 hours of sleep
Breakfast & 4 or less hours of sleep
Breakfast & more than 4 hours of sleep
If you'd like to participate, thank you, and you can find more information in the Google Form.
Percy and Annabeth at an aquarium for a date:
The fish:
This makes me realize that I want more pictures of Percy drooling in his sleep
process for that one percy jackson drawing because this is the year where i actually got organized with my process
I think it would be objectively funny if Nathalie was the first one to find out about Chat Noir. (loosely inspired by buggachat's comic)
Bonus:
Something I just realized about DanDaDan. In most shows, the main group usually grows because the original team welcomes the new member. Like when Team Avatar brought in Toph Beifong or whenever Luffy asked someone to join the Straw Hats.
In DanDaDan, literally no one wants to be there and they only became friends after being forced to spend time with each other. What I mean is:
1) Okarun and Momo hated each other in the beginning.
2) Aira was a villain at first. Then when she mellowed out, Momo and Okarun were adamant that she not join their team. Aira only stayed because she’s so delusional that she declared herself team leader. Momo and Okarun then just kinda went, “Well, fuck, she’s not going anywhere so welcome aboard, I guess.”
3) Jiji annoyed the fuck out of everyone in the beginning, especially Okarun since he saw him as a rival for Momo’s affection. This man had to put in the work to get on Okarun’s good side. And then there’s Momo who, even though they were childhood friends, was still annoyed by him.
4) Vamola literally got dropkicked by Momo when they first met.
5) Kinta Sakata forced his way into the group. Even the characters were like, “Who the fuck is this guy?” And when the group did get to know him, they instantly wanted to kick him out.
6) Rin Sawaki’s first significant moment was getting into a public argument with Momo. She also weirded Okarun out with her vampire/dungeon fetish fantasy.
It’s like the manga version of Community, where none of the characters seem to get along but they’re somehow friends. It’s like they show love by getting on each other’s nerves.
TL;DR;
Most shows: “Welcome to the team, new guy!”
DanDaDan: “Well we can’t get rid of you so…see you tomorrow, I guess.”
Can we normalize doing nothing, please?
I work with kids. These kids are at my program before and after school, and then some of them have sports/dance/music sometimes all of the above before they finally go home, eat dinner, and go to sleep. Then rinse and repeat everyday, and games and more classes on the weekend, etc.
I’m all for extracurriculars, but this turns into the teen who is not only in the school play, but they’re on the newspaper, the football team, and seven different clubs. In college they take double the courseloads, and then once they graduate…what?
They work themselves raw because they arent used to downtime. They’ve been told they can always be doing something, and they don’t know how to relax. This turns into the adult that has anxiety because there’s nothing left to clean, the adult that desperately wants to watch that TV show but can’t force themselves to sit long enough for it.
Then they turn into the moms and dads who spend all their free time ferrying their kids to extracurriculars.
Like, these kids don’t know what downtime is? I told a kid I did nothing last weekend, and he looked at me like I was crazy. He asked what I was doing this weekend and I said “Probably sleeping, mostly,” and he actually gasped. Then he rattled off a bunch of things I could do, to which I had to stop him.
“No, you don’t understand. I plan on sleeping. I’m booked.”
“But you could–”
“Nah. I’m just gonna rest.”
It was as if I had said a bad word or something. I asked what he does when he gets sick, and he says he goes to practice anyway. I asked him what he does if he doesn’t feel like going, and he said he goes anyway. I asked when he takes time to rest, and he said when he sleeps at night.
Bring back lazy Sundays. Bring back Saturday morning cartoons. Bring back the idea of relaxing and soaking in your day before moving into the next thing. Bring back the right to breathe, the right to rest.
Bring back mental health days, and taking a break. Bring back taking a walk or watching a show or setting a timer to remind yourself to stop cleaning and relax.
If you’re running at 100% all the time with no time to recharge, then your battery is going to die spectacularly, and probably at the worst possible time.
