Wilken:
They were proud of me joining the Assassins Guild, but I don't think if they were still alive they would be proud of what I did that got me punished and rejected.

(Sigh).

Betti: my folks both had a tragic death so, none? Cause they're dead. But Handsome's family is mine now, I guess and they're mostly lovely. Glad I never actually killed his parents.
Kalua: yes, I am thankful for that too.
B: and our little niece and nephews are adorable too
K: yes,

“They died a long time ago. Mom was taken by the Barking Cough along with my oldest brother, and Dad never recovered from his sadness. When we had a bad harvest the next year, he broke. Walked off into the hills and never came back. My brother and I left the farm after.” 🧵

((I'll handle this one - Meg has a very strained relationship with her parents, and hasn't spoken to them for a few years now.

Part of it is that she feels she never lived up to their standards and expectations, and resents the pressure they put her under))

Charlie:
🤷‍♀️*bitchface glare*🤷‍♀️

*long silence*

🤷‍♀️ Mum's dead. Dad's still on the farm.🤷‍♀️ Least as far as I know. (Suppose someone woulda told me if he were dead.)🤷‍♀️

I dunno.

Sometimes I write postcards to Mr. Pendleton, the neighbor. He used to kinda look after me.

Good guy.
🤷‍♀️

#QueerCharChat Avery: "I'm afraid that my father hates me. He doesn't know I'm in love with Tristan. I'm scared to tell him. But I do love my father.
Elias is my mentor, and I feel safe talking to him about what's bothering me. He accepts me for who I am."

#QueerCharChat 25. "My so-called 'parents' mocked me for the lighter shade of my purple skin the moment my form solidified in the Material Plane. They, as well as the other elbhyr of Asymoul, did not stop scorning me until I slew one of them as the first of my countless kills. 🧵

Lu (19): If I'm honest... Nit's been my actual mom. Sid's my older brother but he also looks out for me. And I don't want to disappoint either of them. Neb's the calmest one of us all, so she takes over when Nit gets too upset and just needs a few minutes to collect

“Shit. My parents. I brought Blake home from college our first semester break. My dad closed the door in our faces and I just never went back. We have been no contact ever since. Dad just looked at me holding Blake’s hand and decided he couldn’t deal.”

Micah: “I’ve never known my father, and don’t care to, but my mother was one of the most important people in my life. She taught me everything I know about the forest, baking, beekeeping… I still hum her songs. I lost her years ago. I miss her dearly.”

Kyoka: "Oh, it's great! Mama's the best! Aunt Kiseki, Aunt Hasava are both doing great. I love visiting them so easily!"
(Interviewer asks about a father)
*Kyoka's manner flattens* "I don't have a father."

#QueerCharChat Day 25 - Rowan

It's more than that though. I'd never felt that kind of support. No one had ever asked me what I wanted and not reacted like it was ridiculous. When they say, we've got you, you're safe. It makes you feel capable. They're amazing. Definitely second time lucky.

#QueerCharChat Day 25 - Rowan

They're the closest I have to parental influences, and I love them for it. They're the model. They're the reason this Rowan exists instead of the self-destructive twat version. They helped me decide how I wanted to carry myself. The man I wanted to be.

#QueerCharChat Day 25 - Rowan

who asked if I was ok like he meant it. The universe was looking out for me that day, because that stranger was Wolf. He introduced me to Tank and Mama Gigi, and 2 days later he and Tank packed me and all my crap into a van and moved me into The Complex.

They chose to protect the kids they hadn't given up on. I carried on down a bad path and got myself into a really scary relationship... I promise this is relevant.

So, 2 weeks after my 21st birthday, I confessed how scared I was to this random stranger in a pub,

#QueerCharChat Day 25 - Rowan

I have an awesome relationship with my incredible family. Not the birth lot. Our relationship did not survive my teens. Mostly my dad being an asshole... little bit of teenage me being an asshole. Mum didn't want me influencing my little brother and sister.

🧵

"Well, my father's death left me this miserable title. My mother—who sensed my nature from the beginning, I suspect—I kicked from my properties 10 years later, the very day I reached majority.

Since then I have been alone."

Julie: Yeah, no, let's not go there.
Jacqueline: You mean your parents are not the wellspring of acceptance that all of our parents were [gestures to everyone]
Julie: Hardly. Let's just say my internalized hate was learned from a source close to home. It was home. It was my parents.⬇️

Virgil:

Dead. Cancer. Both of them. My father died 3 maybe 5 or 6 years ago. I can't remember anymore.

I did nothing but work until Raphael and I discovered that we... That our company... was using us to ruin people's lives.

I loved them... I think.
