Can you please write a headcannon post on Jumin as a girl dad.
OH GOD ANON THIS TURNED OUT SO MUCH LONGER THAN I INITIALLY PLANNED???
Regardless, we are on the same wavelength. Jumin is definitely a certified girl dad. He just exudes that energy to me. Starting a family with a partner who he trusts and adores is a sweet thought Jumin starts to fully consider only once he meets you. He is a family man at heart. It comes to him naturally.
Now, if you thought the way Jumin is with you at the end of his route was sweet enough, you haven't seen anything yet. He will become the softest man imaginable with his kids. The press sees a stern businessman with a heart of ice, but the way he absolutely melts away when his daughter greets him at the door with an excited sparkle in her eyes is anything but stern or icy.
If his daughter is brought into his life by natural means, I think he would be extra protective and gentle towards his partner throughout the entire process. Almost to a fault. He doesn't want you to lift a single finger if you don't want to, and you will be taken care of by the best possible personnel to cater to your each and every whim.
Whether you are someone who will happily let things go and relax, or you prefer to be more independent, is up to you. Jumin may be a bit of a worrywart with you in this particular case, but he respects your choices first and foremost. You just have to communicate your needs to him, and he will listen.
He doesn't really care about the sex of the child. His sole desire is for them to be born healthy and strong. And for you to be as comfortable and safe as possible, of course. His father is way more pushy on the subject, though, so that's something to deal with, unfortunately. What Jumin does do is pick out some names with you in advance. It's a shared activity, one filled with many tender smiles and laughs.
Will he feel emotional when he hears his daughter cry for the first time? Absolutely. He would already be a big nervous wreck on the day of her birth. So many things can go wrong, and his head is buzzing with all kinds of possibilities. The lack of any means of control is stressful, but he does all he can to be there for his partner through it all. Now, Jumin is not someone who cries easily or often, and I don't think he'll be full-on shedding tears in that moment. But his breath definitely gets caught up in his throat, and his heart races so fast, it might as well just tear right through his chest at any given moment. He feels tears building in his eyes, and he swallows a huge lump in his throat. But, those are happy tears. Especially when his eyes meet yours. You are tired, very tired, but you are happy. And, most importantly, safe. And that confirmation is what makes him smile, too. He will only get even more choked up when he hears muffled congratulations and the words 'healthy baby girl' among some others that his overwhelmed mind just can't catch yet.
It's a girl.
His baby girl.
He'll definitely melt inside the moment he sees you holding your baby for the first time: the image will definitely be engraved into his memory forever. He has the softest of smiles on his face, and he kneels by the bedside without much thought, making sure not to disturb either of you, but still wanting to be close all the same. His favorite thing ever is when his daughter reaches up with her teeny tiny hand and grabs his finger. If there is any particular moment where he will cry, it's this one.
His perfect little family, all here.
When he sees his daughter again, who is already all clean and bundled in an adorable little blanket, he will spend a lot of time just looking at her every little detail, his heart feeling so full that he's almost not sure what to do with himself. There's no doubt that he will point out certain features that remind him of you. You can't see it for the life of you, but he's as observant as always. Definitely gets anxious about holding his daughter. He's afraid to mess up with his tall size because she's so incredibly small and fragile. It won't happen until he receives accurate instructions on how to properly hold a baby. He's very stubborn on that. Funny little quirks aside, it truly amazes him that you and him created something so perfect and wonderful out of your love for each other. However cheesy that may sound. As he sees your little girl in your arms, his heart fills with so many warm and fuzzy feelings, and there is not a single doubt in his mind on what it is.
Happiness. He is truly happy.
Will definitely take lots of pictures. Blurry, silly pictures that everyone will laugh at. He adores them though. His favorite one is of you and his daughter napping, with her on your chest. It looks like a huge blob of similar colors, but he's confident where what is. You'll have to persuade him not to put one of those in a frame in his office. Or not. It's possible that you are someone who will simply smile and let him do what makes him happy.
Jumin will never want to stop holding his daughter once he overcomes his initial nerves. The smallness of her appearance, tucked away in his arms and snoring happily, is absolutely adorable to him. Worst thing is, your daughter comes to adore him just as much, so good luck trying to put her into her crib. She'll start crying the second you try to take her away from him. Jaehee is going to encounter numerous instances where he refuses to move because his daughter is napping in his arms. In a more serious manner, it's actually a significant source of comfort for him. Overtime, he notices that he tends to go and hold his daughter whenever he feels stressed or exhausted after a hard day at work. No longer drinking as often. It's not to imply that his drinking was problematic. Judt thst his daughter is now his main source of comfort, after you, of course.
It's very common for these two to fall asleep together on the couch, with Elizabeth the third curled up at his legs as a bonus. It's a lovely sight, really. One that never fails to melt your heart whenever you see it.
Jumin will truly enjoy caring for his daughter. He already has a knack for performing repetitive tasks, so he's more than willing to assist you when you're too tired. Of course, things won't be picture perfect by any means, but you two will establish a very functional system with shared responsibilities rather quickly. He's very in tune with your daughter. It's no surprise at all, as he's naturally observant and keeps track of people's behavior for his personal comfort. He will eventually be able to recognize when his little girl is hungry, wants a nap, or wants her favorite toy (it's a plush of Elizabeth the 3rd).
That said, while he's great at your usual caring things, he's terrible at taking her to the doctor. He knows it's for her own good, but seeing her crying out of fear of getting shots just pulls at his heartstrings so badly, you might have to hold his hand as well. Getting shots is a stressful ordeal for the whole family, and you will have two family members to cuddle and kiss after all is done.
When it comes to terms of endearment, he's not at all shy about them. They're not anything crazy: sweetheart, princess, and firefly are the ones he uses the most. The last one is because his daughters smiles are so bright, they remind him of fireflies for some reason. Will occasionally slip in something different like 'baby' or 'sunshine' as well.
One of Jumin's primary love languages is gift giving, and you already know what that means. Gifts. Lots and lots of gifts. Your daughter will receive anything she wants: stuffed animals, puzzles, dolls, coloring books, robots, dresses, anything. Despite his very rational and measured attitude, he can't say no to you, and, subsequently, that same habit gets transferred onto your daughter as well. This may get a bit out of hand when he starts to genuinely consider getting her a pony just because she saw one on a family visit to a farm. You might need to rein him in quite a bit in that regard. That's not to say that he's spoiling to a fault. It's just a flaw you'll have to deal with, much like anyone in a parenting position.
After you, his daughter is his biggest fan of his humor. Maybe it's because she grew up around those kinds of jokes, or maybe it's simply because she's his daughter, nobody really knows. What Jumin does know is that it makes him adore her even more, if that's even possible. She will burst out into a fit of adorable giggles whenever he makes a silly joke or two, all while what workers are around at the moment can only chuckle sheepishly and look off to the side with a sense of awkwardness in the air. Does that mean Jumin eventually develops an affinity for dad jokes? You bet.
As I already wrote about him in a different post, Jumin will engage in his child's interests wholeheartedly, whatever they may be. He never received anything like that as a child, so he is determined to do the opposite. Your daughter loves marine life and can't stop babbling random facts about orcas? He will watch countless of documentaries with her and suddenly decides to donate a large amount of money to an orca conservation program. Is My Little Pony her new obsession? You should be prepared, as Jumin will talk to you about every episode they've watched before bed, and you'll love it. She loves transformers? Same story. He is cognizant of her interests and participates in each and every them. As your daughter grows up, she feels safe and supported in all of her passions. It's one of his biggest strengths as a parent.
Jumin will always give his daughter a proper goodbye before departing for work, and she will always be the very first person to welcome him back home at the door. Her happy hugs and good luck wishes leave him motivated for a new day ahead, and her excited exclamation of 'Daddy!' when he finally gets home melts away all the stress he has endured in an instant. She's really his little ray of sunshine, and knowing he has someone waiting for him back home is a thought he treasures up to this day.
Ladtly, he keeps all of her small crafts and drawings she makes for him in his office. His favorite thing ever is certain crafts that he can wear and actively fiddle with. Be it bracelets, rings or maybe paper flowers. It's yet another way of keeping himself grounded, only that much more meaningful, as it reminds him of his little girl. He finds Elizabeth the 3rd to be an inherent source of comfort in a similar way.

yeah, i don't lie a lot either, not only because i'm just really bad at it but also i'm a pretty honest person, i rarely see a reason to lie about something to people i'm close with. i do lie to teachers too though. because i am not just gonna tell them that i'm planning on procrasting an assignment for 3 weeks and then doing it on the last night. no, thank you. about that i can lie very convincingly.
there was also this one memorable occasion where i was lying horribly and then somehow managed to save the situation? it was weird. basically this guy i was friends with asked me out and I panicked coz i didnt want to hurt his feelings but i really didnt like him that way, so i said i'm sorry i have a crush on someone so i'm not emotionally available. and he was like oh cool who is it? because he obviously didn't believe me (see: my terrible lying skillz) and i was like oh it's my classmate [insert random name that does not belong to any of my classmates] and he asked for his facebook because again: didn't believe me. and so i panicked even more because i didn't know any people with that name so i told him yeah you caught me, i was lying, i actually have a crush on my best friend (we're both girls) so hopefully ur not homophobic dude. he was not homophobic! so that was great, even if i did lie so horribly at first that i had to come out to save my lie 🤷‍♀️
i'm pan ace by the way! and i'm only out as pan to 5 (i think) people irl and literally no one outside of tumblr knows that i'm ace (because i'm apparently really horrible at telling who in my life is aphobic and after one attempt at coming out as ace and backtracking asap i did not try again!)
also, i figured that you would like to know, that i found some hair dye i bought before (the second) quarantine in my country started and forgot about. so i dyed my hair red again! at 1am (well it's 12.30 but thats close enough right?) i also accidentally dyed my favorite (white) sleep shirt red because in my excitement i forgot to change. so now it looks like someone's head was cut off while wearing it! the chaos! i'm loving it
Oh yeah, I had this one lecturer last trimester that would give you assignments and expect you to have started them like, a solid month before it was due. If it was like a MASSIVE assignment I would understand of course. But half the time it was just like a 1000 or 2000 word essay. Two weeks from the due date I’m pretty sure she expected a draft. That is of course not what I did. I’m over here chatting with my tutor the day it’s due like yeah I started last night gonna try to get it done by the due time tonight :)) shoutout to that tutor, I gave her second-hand anxiety and stress and she did not deserve it. But when talking to the lecturer? nooo I’ve made a start for sure :). On the other hand that was my worst class last trimester and my results just. weren’t vibing. so maybe I should’ve started weeks prior sdkfsdfsk. Lying to teachers about having started an assessment is my specialty. stressing tutors out about having not started so close to the date is also my speciality (i’m so sorry sdfkshdf).
oh my god what a legendary way of saving that lie in the end. that’s incredible. I think I would’ve panicked so much in that situation it just would’ve been stuttered half words and a sprint in literally any direction to get away. What a save. 10/10 quick thinking skills there honestly. to be fair there also weren’t enough people in my high school to get away with naming a fake person. when a guy asked ME out I just stood there staring at him with great fear until he reminded me I could say no so I said uh, yeah, I mean no sorry, and speed-walked away. he was good about it though. until I found out he wanted to ask me to the ball in year 12 I believe and I suddenly disappeared whenever he entered a room. Weird how that worked. so strange. odd. top 10 unexplainable things in the world.
so when I was younger I was ‘dating’ this guy on minecraft. there! i said the first sentence! cue laughter! meanwhile a guy at school had started to show interest in me (the dude above) and i mean. what was i gonna say. sorry dude i’m actually dating someone on minecraft so :)) can’t date you! but some friends got really curious about why I was so against dating him because we did actually get along pretty well as friends. and I wasn’t about to tell THEM the truth either. so i. so i- so. i um. i uhhhhhh. hhhhhh. i confess. the worst lie i’ve ever told. went something like
so the thing is I’m actually in a long distance relationship with someone, which is why I can’t date this guy and am not interested. we met in new zealand though! he’s in america now. it’s SUCH a weird story. we met in [insert place two towns over] and started dating and it was all going really well when his parents found out. they weren’t happy with us dating so they decided to move away so he couldn’t date me anymore. they moved ALL the way to the US just because they disapproved! we still keep in touch through messaging apps and that though. so. then my friends took me to maccas after school asking more questions and what he looked like. so I showed them his insta profile and explained a bit about him. that part wasn’t a lie but geez, THEY MOVED ALL THE WAY TO AMERICA FROM NZ BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T APPROVE? WHAT KIND OF BULLSHIT ASS LIE IS THAT. THAT IS THE WORST THING I’VE EVER COME UP WITH. I THINK I GAINED MY ABILITY TO LIE SOMEWHAT WELL AFTER THAT BECAUSE IT TRULY COULD NOT GET WORSE. anyway. that’s something i never want to reflect on EVER again. thank god i’m only exposing myself to all of tumblr. i was like 14 or 15 there is no excuse for a lie that god awful at that age. and yet. ANYWAY.
that’s awesome though! 10/10 identity in my opinion, thanks for sharing!!! I came out to my entire english class in year 13 as part of a speech assessment just cause it seemed to fit the speech topic at the time and i was like fuck it. last year here. let’s do it. and my parents still didn’t find out. despite reading the speech. it was a coming out comment that clearly just went over their heads. they still don’t know. everyone else does. it’s wild. I feel you though. I’m so comfortable saying I’m bi or I’m gay or I’m queer or anything of the sort with people I know are chill but the ace side of things? it’s just trickier for me, at least. the first time I mentioned asexuality was to my Dad when he asked me to explain what the acronym LGBTQIA+ meant after seeing it on the news or something. So I went through each and explained them carefully so he understood. And I got to asexuality and I started explaining and he was like oh but that one’s a choice though with a very final sounding voice. And I didn’t really know my sexuality exactly at the time but I was questioning if I was ace and I was like ! neat ! i’m never telling anyone now ! i’m sure he didn’t really mean harm or anything and if i genuinely sat down now he’d listen but it was enough to keep that part of my identity more private. still i met a bunch of ace people at uni by accident in one class. it was rad. english attracts queer people i swear.
and omg, awesome! I hope it turned out well! well except for the shirt. but honestly, that seems like an awesome edition. i’m feeling a serial killer who collects the shirts of people whose heads they just cut off. who then wears them to bed to sleep in cause like obviously you can’t just wear that in public. what a vibe. also at 1am? sdkfjskdfsdf mood. i’m glad you’re vibing with it though!!
