Given Littlebug's crusade against bad fathers... What would be her reaction to FMA's Hohenheim? Because he seems like a bad father but in fact good but not exactly as a father, and also dumb but very smart. And I am not sure Littlebug understands human complexity at that level.

No, you're right. Littlebug is smart, but she's still very much a child and has a very childlike mindset and understanding of human flaws.

That being said, she may not understand human complexity but she DOES understand there are Levels of Bad.

She would certainly have at least SOME issues with Hohenheim and the fact that he abandoned his sons when they needed him (though she may at least understand that he was trying to protect them in his own way), but she's not as likely to really focus on him so much when there are others who would take her attention more.

Including a horrible guy literally named "Father".

And.....another person.

Littlebug has priorities. And in a world like this...well Hohenheim may be ON the list, but he's a bit of a ways down.

rage is a daughter

you don't touch your daughter with bloodied hands and expect me not to inherit your anger or grow up and not look for subtle doses of violence in my drinks. you brushed my teeth with gasoline when i was five and blamed me for breathing fire. you took my mind and turned it into an air clay you can mold to whatever shape you wanted, and then made me feel like i owe it all to you. my victories didn't feel mine because you made it clear you technically made them happen. with your bare hands you crumpled my soul and then shamed me for not being an even canvas to splash your crimson venom on. you took me to church a few times, but then you got sick of pretending and decided to be the god yourself.

the clothes i wear must go through you first because you were so worried about the girlhood i can give but not the girlhood you took. eventually the weight of your words became too much to bear that i created versions of myself for everyone to make me feel i am still in control. the horrible highway accident you forced me to look at still exists behind my eyelids like a belt mark. you said you don't want a whimpering weakling but the truth is you did it because it would make me overlook how vile you were, it would make me think that no matter what you do, there's so much worse out there. you even fed me my younger self's heart and tried convincing me she's whole and well.

i buried myself in books to escape you, but then i read about a softer kind of love so i asked if i will ever get it from you. but you were quick to say that tough love was necessary and i believed you even though i have no fucking idea what that meant. you said it would make me stronger but you seemed to have forgotten i was a child. i didn't need to learn to walk on live coals or fight your wars. i needed kind words in my pockets, warmth in my palms, and gentleness braided in my hair. i wasn't supposed to be picking up pieces you break and beating my brains out thinking where to put it best so it wouldn't fall off the next time you lash it.

i saw my mother push back her spine at the back of the closet several times. sometimes i want to blame her too, for not having the courage to leave you, but then i remember your hands are shackles. the years gathered in my throat until my ribs can no longer hold it back—an anger ancient, inconsolable, and ruinous. because of you i understood medea and circe and medusa and pandora and clytemnestra. you are the reason behind my lust for fire and revenge and antiheroines covered in blood. i said no more hiding of spines and staying silent. i said let me be insane if i need to. death didn't save me from you, it has always been the other way around.

The (Dis)Agreeable

I'm not sure if this is a hot take or not, but it goes against some of the things implied in the series (spoilers for RTTE). I don't think Oswald the Agreeable was a good father.

The show paints him as this peaceful, friendly man who never wanted wars and loved his kids. Sounds great, but I find contradicting evidence in the episodes.

There is something to be said about young Dagur's conduct with people. I get it that he's got probably a cocktail of mental illnesses, but that doesn't mean that he's incapable of acting in nonviolent ways. We see him do just that later. So, why was he not told as a kid, "No, don't try to drown your friends. That's mean and dangerous. Don't put people in cages and feed them cod heads." etc.? I feel like the first part at least was never told to him because he didn't act like him almost drowning Hiccup was in fact a scary experience for the younger Viking. Not saying that Oswald needed to watch his every move, but Dagur isn't a shy person. He's noticeable. If he's doing something (assuming his goal isn't to be sneaky, which it didn't seem to be with that drowning attempt), you're going to see/feel/hear him. Why not just sit him down and explain what's right and wrong? Dagur recalls being told to not do things like chase chickens and have axes, but I'm not sure if there's really a reason given behind it vs just knowing that his father didn't want him to do that.

And then there's Ansson. If you've read my previous post, you know I think he's at least 8 years older than Dagur. That makes me wonder where Oswald was during all that. This begins tying into another point. His relationship with Dagur must have been pretty bad if the other Berserkers actually thought Dagur killed him. Aside from the implausibility of Hiccup being able to, if he said he killed Stoick, people would be shocked because they know the two Vikings care about one another. No one seemed to bat an eye with this. "Dagur killed his old man? Yeah, figured that was just a matter of time." What were their interactions like if something so violent just made sense? To address a counterargument, maybe they just believed this because of Dagur being who he is. Fair, but here is the major issue: they never should have been able to think Dagur killed Oswald.

Where did Oswald go? We know he shipwrecked on Vanaheim, but where was he headed and why? Clearly, Dagur wasn't with him if he got lost out on sea. Dagur also didn't know where he was. No one else did either. Therefore, it implies that Oswald left home without telling anyone. I doubt this was to sign a treaty since that was stated that he'd bring Dagur along and I'm assuming the other Berserkers would know. So, why did Oswald suddenly leave without telling anyone where he was going? As both a father and chief, that's irresponsible. They have 50k soldiers, so who knows how many overall Vikings they have when you take into account kids, the elderly, and whoever just wasn't a soldier? Oswald left Dagur with all of these people. It's obvious that the boy wasn't ready. We saw how well that first year of being a chief went. At least, I'd expect him to tell someone, but no one knew. This sounds like he didn't just go out, he left. Oswald left and had no intention of coming back.

Then, you have "The Search for Oswald...and Chicken." There are a few things which are said here hat bother me. The letter itself was strange since Oswald mentioned Dagur protecting Heather even though she was a small child when she was lost and given the annual nature of the treaty visits, Oswald would have left long after she was missing. I think this is just a case of a plot hole that no one caught, but if we make it canonical, it's him fantasizing about his preferred life. He might have gone mad on that island. I can think of no other reason for him to write a letter about and to the daughter he'd no longer had on their home for years. Along that line of thinking, I doubt we can trust that his positive words to his son were genuine as opposed to being due to his false memories. Even in another part of the letter, it's sad because he mentions Dagur growing out of his "crazy, destructive" phase/stage. Dagur sort of gives a sheepish smile and it's played as a joke, but that's really sad. His son is mentally ill and he's just hoping he grows out of it like it's a papier-mache phase.

But what's the saddest part to me is Dagur's thoughts and beliefs regarding his father. After the corpse is found, Hiccup says, "He loved you" and Dagur responds, "I guess we'll never know." That is heartbreaking to me. Hiccup could have said, "He'd forgive you" or "He'd understand" and I would accept Dagur's words. That would be fine. With someone dead, you have no way of truly knowing if they'd understand why you did something or if they'd agree. That said, you should know that someone loves you. It's not something you should need to confirm when the person in question is a parent. I know this happens in real life, but a healthy parent-child bond should have both parties know, "Yeah, they love me. Even if we disagree, we love each other." Dagur makes it explicitly clear that he and Oswald don't have that type of relationship since he didn't know if Oswald loved him.

Therefore, between not being a teacher or protector in Dagur's childhood, having a relationship that feasibly could have ended in patricide, abandoning his son to lead tens of thousands of Vikings, believing his mental state was a temporary inconvenience, and not making letting it be known that he was loved, I believe that Oswald might have been agreeable, but he also was a bad father.

Thanks to a clip on Reddit we know now Papa Zero is dead in MK1 and it was most likely Bi-Han who killed him. I can’t say I’m surprised, I’ve headcanoned for quite a while now that Bi-Han killed Papa or Grandpa Zero in order to become Sub-Zero. Can you blame him? Papa Zero kidnapped him and Liang, took them from their mother and forced them into a ridiculously difficult and dangerous lifestyle. Bi-Han did what most people aren’t lucky enough or strong enough to do and killed his abuser and for that I say good for him. He’s had such a difficult life I just want to give him a hug 🥺

I’ve always said that if you’re going to be type cast as an actor you should strive to be the best at that character. I never thought of “bad father” as a type cast- but here is John Noble being the worst father in film and television history.

The infantilization of fictional rapists irritates me beyond belief. I understand that it is fiction, but when I see people writing passionate defences of rapists on the internet, it makes me itch, particularly considering that many of these defences tend to veer into rape apologia and justification of abuse.

#been seeing a lot of #Robert and aegon the usurper #shooters these days #I do not care that you like #Aegon II #or #Robert Baratheon #I do care that many of you justify the harm they cause #I do care that many of you justify the abuse that #cersei lannister #suffered at Robert's hands #Those men are not poor misunderstood babies who are victims of their circumstances #they are bad men #bad kings #bad fathers #who they regularly do bad things #tw rape #tw abuse

I fasted for 20 hours. I worked out and had coffee this morning, and ran errands.

I got home and was feeling pretty hungry. I had to clean up and start laundry before I could cook.

I finally start to cook myself something to eat at 2:00 PM after cleaning the kitchen and putting my blanket in the washer.

My POS dad walks in and starts grabbing my food off of the frying pan after he took out the bathroom trash and did not wash his hands.

My OCD and panic disorder kicked in, and I started screaming at him. I just couldn't believe he would take his dirty hands and start grabbing all of my food!

I had to clean out the frying pan and start all over while he got to eat. He already had chicken and a chocolate bar. He's just being fat and selfish.

Makes me so angry and irate.

Why do I work hard everyday to have a lazy "dad" (not even a good father to me ever)?

I'm the one who works out, eats healthy, goes to university, works, etc. But, he doesn't even have a job and lives off of government assistance.

Make it make sense.

Whumpblrful’s 100 Drabble Challenge - Whump Edition (prompt 11 to 15)

A third batch of @whumpblrful‘s 100 Drabble Challenge with Skyrim Custom-voiced Followers.

11 - “No.”

Nebarra's teasing tone cut through the air like a dagger, and Lucifer's heart sank.

"You see there was this lizard back in Taneth, and she was cute and I was rather drunk..."

Lucifer's eyes darkened, hurt flickering across his features.

"No.", blurted Lucifer, trying to hide the pain in his voice, refusing to believe what Nebarra said, spitting it was another naughty trick on his part. He refused to imagine that there was even a tiny chance of what Nebarra was saying. Being abandoned and not knowing his true parents had always been a sensitive topic for him. (101)

•

12 - Confusion

Consuming skooma had muddled with his mind and memories. Even though he had quit the drug, Inigo still suffered from the confusion it caused in his brain. He remained convinced of having attempted in the past on the life of the Dragonborn even if the latter persisted in denying it. From time to time, the painful symptoms of skooma withdrawal would be felt. And Inigo would occasionally fall back into a lethargic, confused, and disoriented state, with his usually bright eyes unfocused and dilated, his heart pounding, and every nerve screaming for the comforting embrace of skooma. (97)

•

13 – Broken

More than any physical pain, Taliesin knew there was one thing in particular that would break him. From the person he feared most in the world. His own father. Should he be caught by the Thalmor, his alias would quickly be dispelled and he was certain that his own father would lead the interrogation and the torture session. His father would surely revel in inflicting pain on his degenerate son to match his disappointment and contempt. And Taliesin would endure it all without a word, staring blankly and body trembling in a cold sweat, so engulfed in the terror of his own father's wrath. (105)

•

14 - “Let’s have some fun”

When they arrived on the scene, it was already too late. Blood stained the feet of the statue of Talos and lifeless bodies littered the small square in front of the altar. Talos worshippers and Thalmor, who had killed each other. They heard a wheeze, then a black robe moved. One of the Thalmor was still alive. Eyes full of resentment, Kaidan unsheathed his nodachi. He approached the Altmer with an evil grin, ready to make him pay for his crimes, without trying to listen to the latter's defense.

"Let's have some fun..." he muttered, pointing his blade at the wounded Mer. (104)

•

15 - Control

Remiel's heart was beating furiously in her chest, to the point that her ears were ringing. The Vampire Lord towered over her, and she felt her insides melt with fear at the terrible threat he posed.

"You are mine now, little Breton.", whispered the vampire, his eyes glowing with malevolence. "The rest of your poor life, you will be my obedient and devoted thrall."

A tear rolled down her cheek, she couldn't fight the vampire's control over her. She could only pray inwardly that her friends would come to save her, and quickly. (96)
