@telltaletypist the “third space” refers to a space between work (or in teens’ case school) and home! Basically it’s a comfortable space that allows you to mentally transition between the mental states of work and home. One of the reason why Starbucks ended up as such a widespread coffee chain is because they heavily modeled their locations on this concept. Libraries are also increasingly trying to make themselves “third spaces” for their respective communities. But capitalism doesn’t really like people just hanging out in spots and not spending money, so third spaces that aren’t commercial are getting increasingly rare. There is also something to be said about the general pathologization and criminalization of teens literally just hanging out. Like teens will hang out in a parking lot and proprietors will put up “no loitering” signs. One more third space eliminated.
Y'know how in older movies and shows, kids always have a spot that's their spot? That's a third space.
It creates an area for play or community gathering that's public (doesn't require invading anyone's private space to use), easily accessible (no entry fee), isn't specifically designated as Working Space (you don't have to be Doing Something to use it), and isn't supervised (or only to a mild degree). Some examples of third-spaces for teens might include:
That one corner of the park where you and your friends always hang out;
The mall (the crowdedness can create plausible deniability to avoid charges of loitering);
The basement in That 70s Show (Redd and Faye mostly stay out of it);
The school library in Buffy (Giles is there, but the kids basically get to use it as their place, and he often acts as a group member rather than simply an authority figure);
A schoolyard after hours;
That place where everyone goes to park their cars;
After school club rooms in anime.
To some extent, kids' time in third spaces has always been limited. You can go hang out, but be home for dinner and make sure your homework gets done. Certain rules have to be followed (sexual morés, rules about drinking/smoking, etc). You aren't supposed to act in a way that's actually going to disturb other people who might be trying to use the space. Adults face some limitations as well though. The guy who went out to the bar/tavern after work (historically a common third space) and never came home til late at night was violating a social norm about the use of that space.
I'd argue that the internet isn't inherently a bad thing for people to use as a third space. Gaming communities or Twitch chats, Tumblr, some old message board sites, and Discord servers can be healthy spaces to spend recreational time. The problem arises when you have people spending inordinate amounts of time on social media sites that are deliberately geared at parasocial relationships and unhealthy engagement. This chips away at the whole purpose of a third space, which is to facilitate genuine social connection with the rest of your community. Similarly, because online third spaces encourage primary socialization with people outside your physical community, they tend to also erode the formation of in-person community. It used to be that you'd spend a lot of time in third spaces with your co-workers, neighbors, or classmates.* A lot of gossiping happened, but gossip can be a healthy means of easing social tensions and resolving disputes without a direct confrontation.
Online third-spaces also, somewhat by their nature, tend to start invading private spaces (different topic, but this may also go hand-in-hand with the misconception of internet sites being private). Because of that, I don't think that limiting kids' screen time is necessarily a negative thing. Separation of home and third space is, imo, as important as separation of work and home.
Anyway, third space fulfills a genuine human need, not only for teenagers who are learning social skills and finding their niche in a community, but for adults to maintain and strengthen their existing social connections. Getting rid of them or splitting your social interactions in third space completely from your interactions in physical space puts strain on communities.
*Yeah, I know that this has always been different for people who were forced out of the social circle.

Littlefinger telling Sansa that Willas "would have bored [her]" is further confirmation to me that he's actually interesting, intelligent, and probably able to sniff out LF's bs.

[CHARACTER] isn’t a dad but if he was I’d vote him! (explain in tags)
Thinking of blorbos again.
Didn’t include LQR or LWJ because adoptive daddy LWJ would win too easily. And if I don’t include him on grounds that he’s not a biological father, I can’t include LQR either.
Of course adoptive & foster fathers are 10000% valid dads, and sometimes better than the kid’s biological one. So definitely not knocking adoption or fostering. Just don’t want poll results massively skewed in favour of one of the main characters! I just wanna run this poll focusing on some of the other dad characters lol
Reblog for bigger sample size, to support your fave DILF, and because that’s what we do on tunglr dot com
Will be making a MILF version too of course :3
(roarjustice) Since her Daddy was busy unpacking all of the boxes in their new apartment, Nakamura Rie decided she would go and explore. Maybe she would find some kids to play with! She slipped out of the front door and past her Daddy's bicycle and the van full of their things. She clutched her stuffed rabbit to her chest and walked down the sidewalk, singing a little song she learned about bubbles. She reached a house with a little girl playing in the yard. "Hoi!" She called out, waving.
Ava was dancing around the yard, playing with their favorite toy. They looked up to see who was taking, and was surprised to see another human child, and one they didn’t recognize at that. They happily skipped over to her, smiling. “Hi!”@roarjustice
acecharadreemurr:
“Yeah. Odd names, I know, but they’re both really nice. Actually, most of our friends have names that are a bit odd,” Ace said.
“Odd names can belong to nice people.” He said kindly. “I have a friend back home who has half of an English word as a name. He’s a good person.” Masa felt a pang of homesickness. Genos wasn’t even a very close friend, more of a coworker...and a higher ranking one at that, but they lived in the same town...and it made him think of the town he came from.

“Papyrus is,” Ace said, nodding. “Sans, however, is much more likely to be hanging out at his favorite restaurant. It’s just down the road, actually.”
“Papyrus and Sans?” He asked, looking for clarification. He had never heard of anyone having names like that, though, Americans were known for giving their children strange names.

Ace smiled reassuringly. “It’s alright, really. And no, I’m not. I’m with someone, and he helps me take care of them. And his brother, too.”
Masa sat down, feeling foolish. “Where are they, if I may ask?” He asked politely. “Are they working?”
