found family is a good (gay) trope but tbh i’m wary of it these days bc i feel like it’s reached a critical mass of people weaponising found family as a concept as a foil for implying gay sexual and/or romantic content between characters (who are absolutely not related by blood/marriage/bond/etc in the source material) is predatory or incestual or w/e, and getting away with it because they’re not explicitly being homophobic in an easy to read, easily identified fashion.
just say X/Y is your notp and you prefer them in gen/as friends, easy done. there’s no reason to go full maude flanders and weep about the sanctity of male friendship and/or create from whole cloth increasingly bananas incestual interpretations as the nuclear option of wiping out gay interpretations, you feel me? relax. let it go. use a tag blocker if a non-found family character combo really wiggles your jello, ‘cause ultimately the only person who can moderate your own experience is you.
(but also i guess maybe indulge in some introspection as to why ‘actually i think they’re brothers’ is the automatic fallback to shut down gay interpretations or why people feel such a burning need to wig out about how X/Y is so bad and unwholesome without ever getting to the heart of the matter (ie 'i don’t like it because i just don’t like it’) but, hey, one step at a time)
So, I have an American friend named Jane who married this English guy about 7 years ago. They live in Sussex together (god rest their souls), and they had a little boy pretty much right after they got married. As he grew up, they figured he would have a mix of their accents with a heavy lean towards English (because he’d go to school with English kids and teachers and the like.)
That’s not how it fucking worked out at all though. Instead, he says individual words with either an American or an English accent. Like, one second he’ll be like, “Daddy, I’m knackered” and the next he’ll be like, “AY YO MA WHERE YOU AT???” Every time they send me a video I just fucking piss myself listening to this kid.
sexuality is so dumb why does it even matter who you like no one is gonna like you back anyways
English teachers can either be the coolest teacher you ever had or the worst thing ever
Jada Pinkett-Smith is aware of the critics that frown up their noses at the way she raises her daughter, Willow. Willow cuts, dyes and styles her hair as she pleases, a fact that bothers many who feel girls shouldn’t have that much control over their appearance at such a young age.
Jada decided to address the criticism in a Facebook post:
“A letter to a friend…This subject is old but I have never answered it in its entirety. And even with this post it will remain incomplete. The question why I would LET Willow cut her hair. First the LET must be challenged. This is a world where women, girls are constantly reminded that they don’t belong to themselves; that their bodies are not their own, nor their power or self determination. I made a promise to endow my little girl with the power to always know that her body, spirit and her mind are HER domain. Willow cut her hair because her beauty, her value, her worth is not measured by the length of her hair. It’s also a statement that claims that even little girls have the RIGHT to own themselves and should not be a slave to even their mother’s deepest insecurities, hopes and desires. Even little girls should not be a slave to the preconceived ideas of what a culture believes a little girl should be.”
