I’m weary with this persistent, low-burning stress. I’m weary from eating nothing because everything makes me sick. I’m weary from putting off sleep because all that I can think about makes me miserable. I’m weary with my jaw always sore.

“This video of this adorable little girl encouraging her Dad while he tries to do her hair, is just what we needed to brighten up our day.” [X]

[Dad: How’m I doing on your hair?

Child: Good!

Dad: Let’s see, do I need more grease?

Child: Yes. You need more grease on there.

Dad: More grease? And then what?

Child: And then you gonna need to brush it, and then you put a band on there.

Dad: A band on it?

Child: Yeah!

Dad: Aww..

Child: You’re getting it through! You’re almost done! You’re doing a good job!

Dad: Aww, thank you, sweetheart, so much! Daddy’s trying, doing the best I can. Thank you so much.

Child: You’re welcome!

Dad: I’m almost done!

Child: You been doing great!

Dad: Aw baby, thank you so much, you’re so encouraging to Dad. Thank you.

Child: You’re welcome.

Dad: I really appreciate you so much. You’re so awesome. Daddy getting your ponytails ready for school.]

Interrupting all the political ugliness to make you melt with cute.

Me as a father

this is so pure

Kids that age are parrots of tone and phrasing. So the whole bit with “You’re getting it through! You’re almost done! You’re doing a good job!” means that there is at least one adult, if not more, in her life that regularly talks to her that way.

Everything about this video makes me happy.

concept: an austen-inspired tabletop rpg where there are five classes

  1. single man in possession of a large fortune who is in want of a wife
  2. young woman with low connections who must marry so that she can secure her future
  3. cad whose main goal is to convince someone to elope with him
  4. wealthy, scheming woman whose goal is to ruin the happiness of the aforementioned young woman
  5. tiresome & vulgar elderly busybody (can be either a man or a woman)

I’m gonna split this out a little farther, because I feel like we’re blurring the lines between classes and stats. First you should pick your Austen class:

  • Bachelor/Bachelorette
  • Cad / Floozy
  • Husband/Wife
  • Matriarch/Patriarch
  • Busybody

Then you roll for your stats across the 6 basic Abilities:

  • Money
  • Intelligence
  • Connections
  • Manners
  • Looks
  • Snark

@usernamesarehardhotdamn

sounds legit

i’m playing a patriarch with snark maxed out.

looks are my dump stat.

To some people you’re an NPC

To other people, you’re the special, unlockable character that they worked and worked to finally get- and when they do they’re so happy because they got the game just so they could find you.
