I feel like what separates Tim Botsford from other bumbling dad characters is that his bumbling doesn’t bleed into his parenting. Like he can expertly de-escalate an argument between his kids but he also tried to get his wife out of jail by “trading cool stuff” after first putting on his “danger pants” I also really like that “sibling” was one of the few words of the day he already knew, even if he didn’t necessarily know how to give a definition of it. He can be comic relief while also being a very competent dad when he needs to be.
In the same vein I like that even though Sally is more sensible than Tim is some respects, she doesn’t fall into the “mom who basically parents her husband” trope. She’s just as goofy as he is, but her goofiness is something she turns on and off, when she’s having fun with her family/husband it turns on, when she’s in professional settings or when she needs to be more serious for her family, it turns off.
so basically the Botsfords live up to animated sitcom parent archetypes with the parts of those archetypes that would be detrimental to their children and marriage cut out. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
Head in my hands head in my hands
Oh, my love
I've been strong For far too long
I still hear you in every melancholic song
My love
Don't pass me by
My lover in thе sky
Do you know how hard It is to say goodbye?

the genius of mob psycho 100 is that its simultaneously the most goofy and most realistic shonen anime you're watching at any given time
Sobbing
Idk idk something about how broccoli arc is about looking someone you love in the face and seeing the best part of them and knowing they won't hurt you and confession arc is about looking someone you love in the face and seeing the worst part of them and knowing they will hurt you and loving them anyway. Mob stepping forward into the spear that crumples when he moves is one side of the coin and Reigen running barefoot through the hurricane that's battering him to pieces is the other, but the coin always has both sides. Everyone is simultaneously the best and worst parts of themselves and loving someone, seeing someone, is about accepting that totality.
reblog this to show you did your civic duty
Flustered Mob goes wob wob wob
Teru’s soft little smile tho my life span has extended as a result of watching it on loop
some things aren't even headcanons they're just divine visions and u have no choice but to accept them
so how’s everybody doing this week? me, not so well
I made a Detective WG OC and decided to post him, hopefully the wordgirl fandom is more active here pfft
Anyways a minor bit of info on him, I like to imagine he was moved from a gritty crime filled town (with more Gotham type villains and the like) to Fair City by his agency, it's just really funny imagining a more serious character being moved to a goofy environment. I also love the Idea of The Narrator being "local" and specific to the area (or the hero) Honestly can you imagine moving to a new city and the first person to greet you is a disembodied voice in the sky? Insane. I'll post more stuff about him later teehee
I CRY LAUGH EVERYTIME SOMEONE DRAWS HIM WITH THE ARCH SOBBING
low effort reigen doodles to combat my lethargy
