Jan. 18th, 2024 12:49 amBaby Sitters Club | Richard Spier/Sharon Spier | the difficulties of blending a family when two of the children do not live there full time
Jeff’s moving back to California had been easier on Richard than Dawn’s - at that time, he hadn’t known that he and Sharon would get married; Sharon was still dating other people and Richard only really saw him on the occasions when he’d pick Sharon up for dates and Jeff happened to be home, so he hadn’t had much of a relationship with him.
Richard had been there for Sharon at the time, had tried to help her see that Jeff’s reasons for his choice weren’t about her; over time, he’d started to see that smile on her face again, but then Dawn had made her own choice to go back and live with Jack, and Richard had felt as though things were going back to square one.
Richard was trying to support Sharon with the fact that Dawn had chosen to live with her father at the same time as supporting Mary Anne with the fact that she’d found out from Logan before Dawn had had the chance to explain, and also dealing with his own sadness of saying goodbye to Dawn (even though he knew Dawn had mostly encouraged the relationship at first because of Mary Anne, over time he felt they had become close) but sometimes he sensed a kind of resentment from Sharon about the fact that his child still lived with him, while hers were on the other side of the country.
Any, any, the night before the wedding (Dark, Katharina, Ulrich, Hannah)
By this time tomorrow, Katharina Albers would be Mrs Ulrich Nielsen; she would finally escape from the life she had lived with Helene Albers and settle into the future she had been mentally planning since 1986.
As Ulrich downed his drinks, laughed at jokes with Peter and Aleksander on autopilot, he thought to himself how his brother Mads should have been there with him, organising his stag night, standing at his side the next day as best man.
Hannah’s happy with Michael and wonders if maybe he will also propose soon; she doesn’t talk now about the crush she always had on Ulrich in high school that no one else knew about anyway, but as somewhere out there Ulrich is preparing to meet Katharina at the altar, a part of her can’t help but think about what might have been.
Anyone, anyone, hello, welcome home (Yellowjackets, Shauna/Jeff)
Shauna had imagined so many times in the first few months what would happen when she saw Jeff again; initially she’d imagined she’d just fade into the background and allow Jackie to take centre stage as she always did, but then that was the way it should be at this point, Jackie was officially Jeff’s girlfriend, after all.
As time went on, Shauna wondered how she would explain to him everything that had happened with Jackie, with their baby, everything else that had happened in the wilderness (if she even attempted that; there was a lot that she didn’t think she would ever tell him, but he did need to know about Jackie and the baby), then as time went by even further, she began to think that it would never be an issue because she wouldn’t make it home after all.
The first time Shauna saw Jeff after returning to Wiskayok, she’d turned all those scenarios over in her mind again, wondering how the conversation would even begin; he’d greeted her awkwardly, saying “Uh, hello, welcome home,” and Shauna didn’t even know where to begin.
any ; any (canonically or not) queer character ; attending their first pride event (Heartstopper, Charlie)
It had been Tara’s idea for them to all go to Brighton Pride weekend, suggesting they get an Airbnb and make a weekend of it.
Darcy, Elle and Sahar had been up for it, and had persuaded Tao and Isaac; Charlie had initially been nervous about attending an event like that, thinking how it hadn’t been that long since he would have run a mile from any kind of big event, finding it easier to stick to the few close friends he had.
But he’s got a bigger group of friends with him now, and he’s got Nick, so he’s going to enjoy this weekend with his friends, with his community.
any ; any (canonically or not) queer character ; family (Heartstopper, Darcy)
It’s a relief to Darcy to have this weekend away at Pride with her friends, from having to hide who she really is from her homophobic family.
Tara’s and Elle’s family are great, Nick’s brother might be a dick and his father barely around but at least he’s always had his mother’s support, and while Charlie’s family have had their moments, at least his parents and Tori are more accepting of his sexuality than Darcy’s family.
But she looks around her at the people she’s come with, Tara, Nick, Charlie, Tao, Isaac, Elle and Sahar, knowing that she can always go to any one of them to escape if her family get too much, and Darcy thinks about how you don’t have to be blood related to be family.
Sweet Valley, Choice of Character, Walking away from everything (Regina Morrow)
Regina knows she can’t go back to her old friends; she isn’t sure which she feels worse about, Amy’s inner circle treating her and Bruce’s breakup like a spectator sport and loving the drama, or people like Liz and Jeffrey, supposedly her close friends, who’d known about Bruce and Amy all along and kept it from her.
But at the same time, Justin Belson’s friends aren’t the answer; Molly Hecht and Jan Brown aren’t people she wants anything to do with, and while she could have been friends with Justin, getting in the middle of whatever he has going on with Molly isn’t the best thing for her.
Regina had been happy back when she was still in Switzerland; maybe she should go back there, see out her original plan to stay there for several months, turn her back on Bruce, Amy and everything that had happened here.
Any, any, pretend that the search for another new world was well worth the burning of mine (From, Victor)
The town has dissolved around them; Victor is unsure where he is, some highway that could be anywhere in the USA.
Everyone around him is hugging and cheering, Jim and Jade, Kenny and Marielle, even Tian-Chen and Sara and Donna and Randall; Ethan tugs on Victor’s sleeve and says “Victor, can you believe it, we’re finally going home!”
But what was there for Victor out there, in a world where he knew no one, where he wouldn’t know how to use things like this internet that Julie and Ethan had tried to explain to him; the town had been the only home that Victor had ever really known, and in their quest to search for their own world, no one had understood how they had destroyed his.
