Anyway, Today Is Abt Writing Verses, And Plotting For New Ones, So You Guys Are Free To Come On Over

anyway, today is abt writing verses, and plotting for new ones, so you guys are free to come on over and we can plot some out. there’s tons in my stores that i want to do with janey. So, plotting call maybe? u can also add me on discord to discuss: bos.max

the world is probably lucky in the verses the Howard’s aren’t together and actively avoid each other. they probably couldn’t do casual right and give janey a sibling she didn’t know she wanted.

helluva graduation gift, mom and dad.

College and boys and dads were stupid. She didn't understand why or how her mom did it everyday in the corporate world. She settled against her shoulder and pouted. Nothing had changed in the years she's tried to get his attention. All she got was a lecturing phone call and how disappointed he was. It wasn't fair.

"He called me, just to yell at me about my behavior in Aruba. Not to ask me how I was doing or why I punched someone in the face." She vented, and she snuggled closer. "It wouldn't look good for his new release, he said. Like, I'm sorry the media cares about your old family?"

"And how was I supposed to know! He didn't even give me the chance to explain. AND my boyfriend saw it and broke up with me thinking the worst, and everyone on campus is talking about it. How did you even do it? How do you stay so graceful and poised through everything like you're a saint or something?"

She huffed, irritated herself all over again, and she grumbled. "I should've just stayed home with you and avoided the public like I've been doing since I was thirteen!"

@janeyjhoward ⇒ ❝ don’t leave. please. ❞ [vintage verse with divorced parents please. grown janey on top of it still living with her mom]

she's much too old to be crawling into bed with her very much grown daughter. she's still sighing and waving her over, because she'd always be a mother first. barb moves pillows until she's resting with her back against the headboard, opening her arms to her daughter like it's any other tuesday.

"alright. i'll stay until you fall asleep." she agrees, and she starts to hum.

it doesn't take long before she has a chest full of the only thing she's felt she's done right it her life. it's nice to still be needed when everything about society says she should've lost her a long time ago. she presses a kiss to the top of her daughter's head.

and she knows it's a matter of time before janey needs her less, quicker still would she take that final step out into life she's been avoiding. barb knows it's selfish, too. when janey was ready, barb would be, too; ready to dust her off and send her back out into the great unknown.

until then, she'll be here. she'll be right where her daughter needs her to be, and she'll be damn proud of the job she and her ex-husband did to raise an amazing person.

until then, she'll sing her baby to sleep and hold her when she cries over people who've hurt her. she's going to make breakfast, ask about her day, and she's going to cherish every second she gets before the world gets her girl.

maybe, barb's a liar. maybe, she'll stay until morning with her baby safe and loved. maybe, she'll remember the very details of the moment to reflect on when her girl moves on.

it didn't matter. her baby needed her.

meme, accepting! also have the song in question: x

you should all know, i’ve given divorce baby a name if it’s a boy or a girl. divorce baby lives now. I will die on divorce baby hill.

Omg. Divorce baby is supposed to be an accident. I don’t think anyone tries to have kids 16 years apart, but it still a good example of how change affects Janey and how she tolerates change better when it involves the constants in her life.

in this next chapter, we’re gonna talk about why janey has issues with the overall problem, change:

other than it would be hard for her to accept an extra parent, you’ve gotta consider, at the base of it all, she has a mom and she has a dad. she’s also autistic and resists things that cause change. not everyone they bring home is a winner, okay? her resistance to change will not change regardless of age, which is why it’s important for both of her parents to be there for major changes. because she is going to internalize change as something she did wrong.

it’s just who she is. she can be convinced with them agreeing that the change isn’t as bad as her brain is making it, because mom and dad are her constant. if they’re making the change together, it’s not as scary and overwhelming.

some things she just won’t agree with them on. It’s how they approach it and her that makes all the difference.
