Xena and Gabrielle - First half of season 4

Not a very complex question because my eyes are too watery for me to write anything refined 😂😭

This is such a good question!

When regressed, Finding Nemo makes Jackson cry. It's one of his favorite movies, but multiple parts have him afraid or very sad. Still, he insists on finishing it every single time. Same with all the Toy Story movies. He's crying when Jessie is left behind on the side of the road, but will pitch a fit if Mark tries to turn it off.

When big, he ends up crying over sports films. Stuff like Brian's Song, Remember the Titans, Cinderella Man, things of that nature. He's not bawling or anything, but a tear runs down his cheek, he's rubbing at his eyes, discreetly wiping his nose.

I think a lot about what affects each person. So I wanted to leave my two cents.

I'm almost certain that Babe and Charlotte's Web are two movies that April loves but Owen avoids letting her watch because she'll cry uncontrollably.

The same goes for Jo when the subject is Matilda or Scooby Doo (2002). When Jo is overwhelmed with feelings but doesn't want to talk about them, Amelia puts on movies so Jo can release her feelings and blame the films. It usually works to get her to open up afterward.

As for our dear Alex, I'm going to bet on Zathura and Jumanji because the factors of siblings and unfair situations, plus his control, really resonate with him. Remember that two of the protagonists of Jumanji are Shepherd siblings.

Why? Because it's Christmas? Oh no, no, it's just because I'm back.

And I come back with a thought.

New York City, babe.

That place had been Mark and Addison's home for over a decade, so it was only fair that they showed Jackson and Callie around the city in their own way. Mark had to filter a lot of things to make sure his part of the tour was kid-friendly. Addison had to filter a lot of things so Mark wouldn't fall asleep during her part. But I know for sure that Jackson would love museums and would be happy to go to plays with her. Mark would show the most unexpected places to get food or go skiing, after all it's winter (Yes, I lied, the idea takes place near Christmas). Callie is happy to do anything that makes her family happy. Jackson is happy to learn everything his parents introduce him to.Without a doubt, the thing that fascinated him the most was two rats fighting over a pizza on the subway. Addison is slightly indignant, after all the city is more than that, but she's grateful that at least they didn't experience a day of flooding on the subway.

Sorry this took me so long to get to. Life has been lifeing extra hard as of late. Father's Day is not an easy time of year for me, but I want to try to make some headcanons and whatnot by tomorrow for the kids. And I wanted to answer this!

I love, love, loveee thinking about the family heading out East to visit family. They absolutely all have different ideas of "fun" while they're there. I will say, I absolutely believe while they visit Carolyn and the other Shepherds that live in the area, they stay in a hotel. Carolyn offers to host them (she likes Callie more than Addison in my head), but they know for their sanity they need a hotel. So, they get a suite with two rooms (even though Jackson ends up in their bed more often than not).

This family strikes me as the type to be okay with splitting off. Addison takes Jackson to her favorite spots that would make her spouses sleep and they head to do things that Jackson nor Addison would do. Later, Mark takes Callie and Jackson to a Yankess game while Addison hits up a spa. But they mostly do things together, eating at fun, local places.

Jackson's very excited about the subway and seeing the rats, but he then hates the noises so they go on it a total of 1 time, from there on either walking, cabbing or taking the bus (which Addison never did in her years there, but every day's an adventure). Jackson thought he could handle it because Boston has the T trains that are very similar and feels bad that he goes into sensory overload, but his parents don't mind. In fact, they don't like the subway very much either.

Mark brings them to places he went as a kid. And he carries Jackson almost everywhere when he's dropped because he's paranoid about him going missing. (And let's be real, probably carries him sometimes when Jackson is big but sleepy)

They'd all see The Lion King on Broadway because it's fun and colorful and it won't put Mark or Callie to sleep. Addison just likes the costumes.

And of course, they take a day trip to Greenwich to visit the Forbes Montgomery compound, but that's mostly so Jackson can visit Grand Central, take the train, and see Addison's childhood bedroom. Plus visit his Uncle Archer.

Honestly this is such a good way of putting it. Blake Carrington is an asshole...but you can tell deep down he actually loves them, in his own weird way.
