holy shit, this post just made something click for me.
both will and mike’s arcs have revolved around being separated from each other again and again and again.
every season they’re torn apart in some way, and one of them is desperately trying to get the other back—s1 physically, s2 spiritually, s3 emotionally, and again in s4 by physical distance…
yeah, their arcs are woven together and it went totally over my head. their happy ending is each other. it’s written this way.

E is all sad bc I didn’t wake her up last night to get stitches when I cut my thumb, I figured showing her “oh it isn’t that bad” and she got more upset, I did decently gash myself lmao
trying to explain I grew up in a “if you wanna complain we can superglue it or cut it off” type house bc of my dad & oh that wasn’t the right answer either lool

don’t you just hate it when there’s a post you almost entirely agree with BUT op added a fucking Holocaust comparison and now you’re ignoring the whole post out of Jewish spite for this callous asshole who tried to drive home their point using the attempted genocide of a people for whom the wound keeps getting reopened

Gonna say that I really don’t think shame is actually a very effective activism tool. Which isn’t to say you have to be nice to shitty people or w/e, bc anger has a very very important role in activism and you have a right to be angry. But I don’t think shaming people itself is really “activism.” I don’t think it’s effective and I don’t think it actually helps anyone basically ever. Communicating, calling someone out, those are very important. But shame on its own is just. Not a good emotion to make use of. Shame is so self-focused. When people are ashamed they’re only going to act to alleviate their own discomfort and humiliation. And a lot of the time they just shut down instead. It doesn’t actually push anyone to make long lasting changes in themselves and their communities. It just makes people feel like shit and makes for some really shitty “activists” who don’t have like, any idea of what constructive, restorative, healing activism could look like and only know to tear other people down

I obviously don't know your communications typically work between you, but possibly let the "daddy" slip out. Maybe in a softer situation, a "thank you daddy" instead of "sir", etc. The reaction should tell you everything you need to know.
hahah you’re kinda onto what my thought has been - doing it in a playful/joking way, so it could be brushed off if needed. but yeah just some form of testing it out like that in a nonpivotal moment would be good. i just always chicken out when the moment arises
