I Won't Add Tags (other This One) Because I Don't Care If People See This. I Just Wanted To Write This Down. - Tumblr Posts

Not to be sad or vent or make everything about me, but it kills me when people say Homer isn't a good father or that Lisa wasn't his favourite/was his least favourite.

Not because of anything other than emotional reasons. I can't remember the last time I watched The Simpsons, but this isn't about The Simpsons.

My father loved adult animation. Family Guy, American Dad, hell, even The Cleveland Show. But above all, the best one was always The Simpsons.

He'd compare himself to Homer and me to Lisa. I'm not sure why it was Lisa, and not Maggie, that I was compared to. I don't think I'm smart or talented, especially not for my age. Maybe he saw something in me that I can't yet. Maybe he was blinded by his love for me.

Homer Simpson was my father. That's how I see him.

I'm aware it's unhealthy to see a cartoon stereotype as a real, complicated person. I'm also aware that I don't have many other ties to him.

He's gone. Homer Simpson will never go. Homer Simpson will never be forgotten. Homer Simpson will never die.
