Xu Qi'an doesn't have the best of days.
Having conversations with my dad is funny cuz he’ll be like “America is the greatest country in the world!” And I’m like…
wow okay so um
I might be moving soon
My dad: When your mom comes with me for grocery shopping she just causes all kinds of distractions. She’s always talking and pointing at stuff. You remember when you used to go shopping with me, I could go so fast, I never got distracted.
Me, pressing my lips together as I remember many shopping trips derailed by hour long conversations with random acquaintances.
Me: What the fuck
Dad: Don’t swear in the house
Dad 5 minutes later: What the fuck you stupid ipad what the fucking hell you stupid piece of shit
My mom straight-up told me “I think your dad is definitely on the spectrum—or whatever it’s called now—but don’t mention it to him because he gets upset”
Like yeah, the guy who’s worked with airplanes for almost 30 years, makes model planes in his spare time, has the exact same breakfast every morning, is very black-and-white and doesn’t pay attention to his tone (even when he definitely should), had a meltdown when he thought his 1000+ day crossword puzzle streak glitched and got broken, only listens to three artists that aren’t classical composers, “didn’t know how” to memorize sheet music and use muscle memory for piano for 40+ years… yeah, I think that’s an apt observation
when my conservative dad asks to read my novels (queer YA fantasy and gothic vampire yaoi)
Throwback to when i was listening to pet semetery by Starcrawler and my dad thought it was the original version
