father’s day is funny in my family because my dad is so angry this holiday exists that it’s the one day of the year i am NOT allowed to call him. we are officially estranged for 24 hours a year. wishing him a happy father’s day is a declaration of hostilities.
and like he is a good dad with a good dad, there’s no traumatic backstory to this, he just hates The Man telling him what to do so much that it’s a personal affront that someone decided that anyone is supposed to feel a thing on a specific day or, god forbid, spend their hard earned dollars because shaving commercials tell them to. if a dad did his job right (be a good father who unconditionally loves his kids), his kids should love him 364 days a year but FUCK the 365th day to spite hallmark and gillette specifically and you know what. i respect it.
Okay, I love this. My dad is the polar opposite. Basically, he’s happy for ANY excuse to have attention on him. He once had three birthday parties for himself on the same weekend in three different states. He lives for Pride month because corporations make everything about the gays and that includes HIM! So adopting me and my sisters had the side benefit of giving him another day to celebrate his amazingness! And the man is genuinely fantastic, so everyone is happy to throw celebrations for him whenever he requests them.
So the idea of a dad stubbornly refusing to acknowledge it? Is adorable and charming to me. Like, it’s my dad’s dark reflection! I love it. 10/10.
amazing!! i hope his birthday is not in june so he gets to spread out the festivities! happy gay pride father’s day to your dad, may he receive much adulation and more rainbow shaving kits than he knows what to do with 🌈 🪒
i just. wanna LIVE. read some BOOKS watch some MOVIES. what’s all this abt careers? ambition? what abt LETTING THE SOFT ANIMAL OF UR BODY LOVE WHAT IT LOVES
