🏢 Parental shipcest: take your child to work day

Take your child to work day was usually a quiet affair. A chance to show your child what you do for a living, as the two of you work away at an office cubicle, or work station. If you were lucky, you’d be shown a trade. Mechanics, construction something other than the two of you at a computer and dealing with nosy coworkers.

But for Harry Osborn, ‘take your child to work day’ was anything but dull. His father had that look in his eyes again. That upward tug at the corner of his lips, and the bright mania that almost seemed to give his eyes a strange glow.

The Green Goblin wanted to show his boy the ropes.

For most , take your child to work day didn’t involve taking to the air , straddled against his father’s armored body, held in his arms as he locked his feet in the glider alongside his.

It didn’t involve the wind flying past his face, against a pair of spare goggles as they hurtled through the air, the only thing that could diminish the scent of sandalwood and rose from his father’s cologne as the Goblin leaned over him and against him to steer the glider over skyscrapers and the ants far below.

It didn’t involve the fire and flame of a robbed bank licking their heels as they took off laughing into the sky. And it certainly didn’t involve the post-escape relief, or the way Norman whipped off the Goblin’s cackling visage to press his lips to Harry’s in the passion of their shared adrenaline high.

Take your child to work day was another day in the life for anyone else…but not for the heir to the Green Goblin’s glider. Not for them, as they laughed together under the gleaming sun, the police sirens so far below they didn’t stand a chance in hell of catching them.

1. “Baby, you look like you’re about to pass out.”

2. “Go rest.  I’ll take care of it.”

3. “Do you think it would be helpful if we were cuddling?”

4. “You fell asleep right on my lap.  No no no, don’t feel bad.  I actually thought it was pretty cute.”

5. “Come on, let’s go to bed.”

6. “Let me be a mom for a second and tuck you in.”

7. “You’re adorable when you’re sleeping.”

8. “Put the homework away and go to bed.  You look exhausted.”

9. “I called in sick.  Now we can stay in bed and snuggle all day.”

10. “I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep after that.”

11. “That’s the fifth time in the last two minutes that you’ve yawned.”

12. “No offense, but you look like you haven’t slept in days.”

13. “You’re already half-asleep.”

14. “I’ll carry you.”

15. “That’s, what, your fourth cup of coffee?”

16. “Are you afraid to fall asleep because you think you’re gonna have a nightmare?”

17. “You’re so cute when you’re tired and speaking in half-sentences.”

18. “Did you know you talk in your sleep?”

19. “Stop fighting it.  You need sleep.”

20. “Goodnight, my love.  Sweet dreams.”

21. “Give me a goodnight kiss?”

22. “Darling, you’re shivering.  Come here, let me warm you up.”

23. “You’re still awake.  Something on your mind?”

24. “Sorry, were you sleeping?”

25. “I didn’t mean to wake you.  Go back to sleep.”

26. “When was the last time your head hit a pillow?”

27. “You twitch in your sleep.  It’s honestly one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen.”

28. “So then I- oh, you’re already asleep.”

29. “You don’t know the wonders a 30 minute power nap could do you right now.”

30. “It was just a nightmare, love.  It wasn’t real.”

31. “I understand wanting to get things done, but please don’t pull anymore all-nighters, babe.  You need to sleep.”

32. “Those energy drinks really aren’t good for you.”

33. “Look me in the eyes and tell me what time you went to bed last night.  Or if you went to bed, for that matter.”

34. “Don’t think I don’t notice you yawning.”

35. “I can’t sleep if you’re not here to cuddle with me.”

36. “It usually takes me a while to fall asleep too.”

37. “Do you wanna hear about the dream I had last night?”

38. “You always end up looking like you’re gonna fall asleep when I play with your hair.”  “Yeah, it’s relaxing.”

39. “You’re obviously tired.  Go lie down.”

40. “I’m gonna carry you to bed if you keep arguing with me about not needing sleep.”

41. “Sleep.  I’ll keep you safe.”

42. “I’m so sleepy.”

43. “Just try and keep your eyes open for five minutes.”

44. “I’ll sleep when I’m dead.”

45. “You should really get some rest.  You’ll feel so much better.”

artofchira:

there’s a reason corporate-made art is clean, sanitized, and designed to make you feel good, and indie, pulp or hobby art is often weird, offputting, scary, challenging, derivative, extremely specific and hard to relate to

the first is trying to get you in their pocket, the latter is trying to say something that is, if not honest, then at least interesting, and innately representative of how weird, offputting, scary, challenging, derivative, extremely specific and hard to relate to people are.

there’s no financial incentive to make art for the sake of making art because that’s art that’s made to exclude you, unless its specificity and your curiosity is relevant to you.

but there sure is huge financial incentive to brainwash you into thinking a group of marketing execs and established billionaire corporations/publishers that never make you feel bad or explore a scary thought about anything ever while they actively brutalize attempts for unionization of the artists who make their product and exploit them until there’s no blood in them left to give
is making representative art the right way – all to get richer off of your moral dilemma and hysteria

the idea that art should be accessible and clean for everyone and used as an example of what to think about the world isn’t art, it’s propaganda and a profit motive. expecting all art to be like this doesn’t make you progressive, it makes you a conservative-capitalist conspirator that thinks being anti-intellectual is a virtue and curiosity and uncomfortable introspection is a sin

Is Simple Plan already on your list? They have plenty of “mad at my dad” type music. All American Rejects is another classic.
