Dads who refuse to do anything that is traditionally considered “feminine” with their daughters are lame dads. I’ve been in the store and overheard a dad tell his little girl who might have been 12 to go by herself to go get pads after she asked him to go with her. “Go get them yourself.” and he looked mortified she even asked him to go. Like dude she clearly looks like she needs help. Take her to the god damn tampon/pad section and help her and if you don’t know what she needs go ask some one in their pharmacy to point out a good choice for you. Tampons and pads are part of pharmacy so chances are they will be able to help. Fuck all that. Help your daughters! They ask you to paint their nails, do it. It might turn out messy but so what? They ask you to have a tea party, do it. Sure the tea might be imaginary or just water and served out of tiny pink cups but get over it.
This. Also, don’t be afraid to teach your daughters “manly” things. You’re building something and she asks what you’re doing? Tell her. Teach her how to use that drill and do it right. Going hunting and she wants to come? Bring her along. She likes auto shop? Take her out to the garage. Even if she doesn’t, teach her how to do a basic oil change, how to change a tire. Teach her how to do things for herself and that she is fully capable of doing it. Don’t divide your kids into gender roles, see them as people.

This is the grave of William Shakespeare. He was buried in the chancel of the Holy Trinity Church two days after his death. The epitaph carved into the stone slab covering his grave includes a curse against moving his bones, which was carefully avoided during restoration of the church in 2008: It says
“Good friend, for Jesus’ sake forbear. To dig the dust enclosed here. Blessed be the man that spares these stones. And cursed be he who moves my bones.“

no but dude I can’t stop thinking about how annabeth was always so jealous and snarky and a little shit and always reacted so badly to anything slightly emotional because she was just. so. damn. afraid of people she loved leaving her. she probably blamed (or blames) herself a lot for the amount of shit that went down, so she has this enormous wall built up only it starts to disintegrate because of the goddamn boy everyone says is going to die. only he doesn’t. he sits besides her and brushes blue frosting off his hands and tells annabeth that the reason why he is alive is her. that the thing that connected him and his mortal life while he was in the styx was annabeth. and holy shit I can’t stop thinking about how crucial that moment must have been for her - realizing that no, he’s not leaving, he’s safe and he’s going to be there and it is all because of her
