#parenting fail

The Three Caballeros (Five caballeros actually) sit in the pool and enjoy themselves while their children (Donald's nephews and Ze Carioca's nephews) watch the adults have fun - Meme redraw - My style and my version - Duck comics (Ze Carioca comics) and The Legend of The Three Caballeros - Duckverse AU - Duckverse - Summer

Since I'm in a really summery mood, I drew this time as a meme redraw or as my own redraw from the real world and photos and turned it into my own drawing with my favorite characters. I drew the Three Caballeros having fun in a small pool, while the kids watch them and some get angry, some get sad that they can't swim and the adults don't care about them. So much for parenting. Jokes aside, I drew this as just a little joke to tweak how it would look from the real photo in Duckverse, so I'm just using this as part of the joke, nothing more. Okay? ;)

I drew Donald Duck, José Carioca (José Zé Carioca) and Panchito Pistoles in the pool, but next to them there is also Miguelito Maracas as the fourth caballero (he is from Cuba and he is a kind of Cuban rooster) and the crazy Ari the Aracuan Bird who all stopped in one pool, enjoying the hot summer day, relaxing and being happy. However, while they are having fun, there are of course Donald's nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie and José Carioca's nephews Zico and Zeca Carioca who watch how their parents enjoy themselves, while unfortunately they can't even play in the yard without tipping the pool over. However, they don't show the same feelings, Zico and Huey are angry and dissatisfied, Dewey laughs at them, and Louie and Zeca are sad because they can't play or swim in the pool. Otherwise they are in Brazil at Ze Carioca, the weather is mostly summer there. About the background, coloring and marking I made some mistakes so I apologize and don't take it as a bad thing, I was in a hurry. Sorry! Otherwise I combined this from The Legend of The Three Caballeros with Ze Carioca comics and added it to my version. Especially about Donald and Ze's nephews where they wear backwards caps, shirts and pants plus sneakers, like my version. All in all, I hope you like this!

To specify, the first post is regarding people who seem obsessed with parenthood as a concept. I understand that people who are already active parents have no time for sociopolitical reform.

But every time someone tries too hard to make the strained partnership between Dick and Bruce dark and angsty

I feel I must remind people that Batman could not convince an 8 to 12 year old the merits of wearing pants while doing vigilante work, and continued to fail to enforce the practice of wearing pants for approximately a decade

Gah, the more I think about the Sansa Ned stuff in AGOT the more I'm surprised Sansa didn't throw a tantrum especially at that age. Girly has more grace and patience than I ever could have.

It's painful to witness.

It's politically inept, making himself invisible to the public in this way. He's isolated at court. There's already been a violent incident and a rift between him and the king and the Lannisters. He won't attend the tourney in his own name. He's making them all look weak and irrelevant. He gathers no support, and the common people gobble up the idea that he commited treason later on. He made Sansa's life his cover story, he killed her wolf over it, and he's not even taking it seriously for his investigation, let alone its impact on Sansa at any level.

It's also so emotionally myopic, disregarding the one thing Sansa gets excited about since he murdered her wolf. Instead of trying to repair their relationship - instead of realizing it needs repairing! - he keeps taking his general frustration out on her. So slow to let her enjoy something, so quick to yell.

The Hound literally threatens to kill her at the end of the first day of the tourney. The daughter of the Hand of the King. Betrothed of the crown prince. Threatened and manhandled by an alcoholic child killer. Alone outside at night with no witnesses, no protection. Because she had no escort but one unreliable septa. At an event of this scale. And Ned couldn't be bothered to go with her. That's how weak they are.

And she never even tells Ned. Because she already internalized he would find a way to yell at her about it, cut her off from something she cares about, or maybe not do anything at all anyway.

And just look at when she actually does throw a tantrum out of sheer despair of being treated like an object. Does he finally try to talk to her, just once, just for a second? Of course not. He has important business to do walking into a trap.

The man set out to do a thing (solve Jon Arryn's murder), he was so determined that he sacrificed Sansa at the altar of this mission in every way, and he so objectively failed at it, it's almost hard to believe.

No way to save up money for something special, no way to spend it all in one go and realize that was a bad decision when there's nothing left

You

You do realize that way the kid is never going to learn how to manage their own finances???

Like. What is even the point then
