Tiva - or a guide on how to fail your daughter, see below :

“I didn’t even know you liked each other that much…”

Well congratulations to Tony and Ziva on failing their daughter by making her believe they never really liked one another.

Raised first with mom, then with dad, then with both…but living appart. She has never seen her parents being happy in love.

From the moment Ziva came back, Tali has been their priority. While making out in front of the door, they wondered how Tali would apprehend their relationship, they got engaged because Tali had nightmares and Ziva didn’t want to leave her side at night. Tony never spoke of his real feelings for he feared that would cause Ziva and him to break up, and ultimately hurt Tali - which is what they did anyway.

They were so focused on hiding every feeling they had to protect their daughter that she ended thinking they did not EVEN liked one another.

How big of a fail is that?

There is nothing worse as a child than knowing your parents don’t get along, and that somehow you were an unwanted pregnancy… (which she was not. She was unplanned, but not unwanted).

All it got for them to fall back into one another’s arms was being away from their daughter, and therefore stop pretending.

Tali has never really witnessed any of their flirting, banter, game. Had she seen her parents in the past, she wouldn’t be questioning whether or not they like each other. She would see how much they love one another. Look! All it took for her to question the state of their relationship was to see Ziva laugh at Tony’s expense! Which by the way is what she’s done on a daily basis from S3 to S10.

Tali hasn’t seen her parents be Tiva. Tali hasn’t experienced the awesomeness that was peak Tiva bond. Tali doesn’t know these people:

Tali only knows this:

Kate: and then we were cooked. There was no coming back from that so we decided it was time for bed.

Yelena: Every time you talk, I get this warm and fuzzy feeling inside of me.

Kate, stopped chewing her fruit loops: I’m sorry?

Yelena: it’s really nice actually but it’s bothering me and I do not understand it so please stop talking.

Kate: warm and fuzzy? Oh my god, Yelena do you have feelings me for?

Instead, her every choice was fuelled by a desperate love of her little sister; volunteering in Prim’s place, trying her best to win sponsors, killing tributes when necessary, all in the hopes she could make it back home to her Primrose, the beautiful, little flower. Katniss played to win, not because she thought it was acceptable, but because her sister needed her. Her stunt with the berries was intended to be a very personal, self-contained act of rebellion, so small and sudden and unexpected that the Capitol broadcast it before they could consider the repercussions.

Haymitch, on the other hand, did not play to win, but to blatantly undermine the Capitol wherever possible. He did not play to see his family again, but threw caution to the wind and pulled stunts so openly that they never would have reached the districts’ eyes.
