My Wife And I Are Having A Conversation About Language And Words That Are Not Often Used Anymore And

My wife and I are having a conversation about language and words that are not often used anymore and I recognized a word on a list of "lost words" and now I need to know:

PDMDZS makes me laugh and makes me happy every time I see a new post! The art is great and the humor is 10/10.

I am at a loss for words for how I can express my gratitude for all the support I have received. This raffle is both a thank you for an amazing 2023, as well as a thank you for some seriously staggering follower milestones reached!

Raffle Time Troisième: Entry dates are from Jan 8th-Jan 29th (23:59 EST), after that I will select winners! I’ll pick 3 people (at random), plus 1 extra winner for every 50 reblogs!

RULES:

1) Reblog this post and write in the tags what you would like me to draw for you;

Make sure to write the character name & series they are from.

OCs are welcome, but tell me where I can find those details (e.g; #my oc Cata Wracks #in my oc tag on my blog).

You can also leave a little prompt, if you’d like!

This makes it a lot easier for me to start drawing ASAP, and not lose time trying to track down people.

Note: If you don’t leave comment in the tags or say ‘surprise me’, Its a 60% chance I’ll draw your icon. 40% true surprise.

Note 2 : If it’s something I’m not comfortable drawing, or ambiguous, I will contact you for alternatives!

2) Please be following me; this is a follower thank you after all!

Some days are for creating. Other days, days like today, are for playing stardew valley and drinking warm tea in bed because the winter blahs are pushing into depression territory and I am taking care of myself.

My best guess is they are equating the refusal to read fairytales with a lack of history knowledge? But yeah. It can be hard to know what is appropriate for each kid at each age. And I'm glad to see another parent who pays attention to their kid's preferences. I get so much pushback because I treat my children like they are their own people and not extensions of me or my property. It's so weird. It's nice to know I'm not alone in examining things and trusting that my kids know what they like and don't.

I just saw a post like "no one tells fairy tales to their kids anymore it's so sad."

And I'm like.

Look I'm sorry I don't want to tell my kids the "be careful about going alone because a man will murder your grandma and then eat you" story, the "god help you if you're born poor and your family is mean to you because your only way out will be to luck into marrying a rich person" story, the "the only way to keep some asshole from destroying your house is to build a better house out of more expensive materials because otherwise you're just asking for it" story, the "strange old women will try to bribe you then eat you" story, or any of the others.

I don't tell my kids fairy tales because, to be honest, a lot of fairy tales made me super uncomfortable as a kid, I didn't like them, they made me afraid of everyone outside of my family in the world, and those aren't lessons I want to pass on in those terms.

We still tell are kids stories. I just have way more options now for WHICH stories they're exposed to.

This isn't a bad thing, ffs.

People feel like they have to... Justify their ships now? When the hell did that start? Ask me why I ship something and it's like, the characters were in a room together one time. The fuck more do you expect from me?

Ok, so I am curious what people would say my style is.

posted this on twitter so i thought might as well post it here too... 😳
