Can u request some headcanons about Tipha and her dads? Or headcanons about Daniel? If that’s okay!
I can do both! I’ll start w Tifa tho since I realized when writing, that this post got really long lmao
also it’s been like forever since I’ve talked about Tifa and her dads so I’m not sure if I’ll be accurate/consistent but I will try my best
Cilan and..... Clemont..? Yes, Clemont (see, already off to a bad start lmao) each teaches Tifa their like, specialties? Like, Cilan w cooking, Clemont w inventing stuff (which is what like got her into inventing more than cooking cuz she loves creating things that she came up)
OH ALSO OK I DEFS REMEMBERED THIS ONE but y’all remember how Tifa would be so hyperfocused on her work that she’d often accidentally grab a can of oil she mistakenly thought was her juice/drink (she never ended up drinking oil so don’t worry), well, ONE time when she and Clemont were working on a big project, Tifa was hella hyperfocused and just immersed. Cilan brought both of them some snacks and drinks. Clemont was taking a snack break but Tifa was still working and he’s just proud that his daughter’s following in his footsteps and all and suddENLY SHE REACHES FOR HER OIL CAN THINKING IT WAS HER DRINK (her drink was next to her oil can too so like... can’t really blame her) AND CLEMONT JUST ABOUT FREAKS OUT WHEN HE SEES HER BRING THE OIL CAN TO HER LIPS “TIFA STOP!11!11!!1!1! THAT’S AN OIL CAN” and Tifa’s like “oh whoops lmao” and puts it down and gets her ACTUAL drink this time. Cilan heard this whole thing and rushed in and Clemont tells him what happened and since then they had to keep an eye out on Tifa when she works.
One time Cilan taught Tifa how to make lemon meringue pie (hint hint nudge nudge name of ship Tifa is created from teehee) and whooo man it was a disaster. Cooking or well baking really, was just not her thing at all. But that’s okay, like she can do the basics? like banana muffins? no problem. Chocolate chip cookies that you buy from the super store and all you have to do is cut the tube and put that baby in the oven? Easy peasy lemon squeezy. But more complicated stuff? nah, she cannot do them.
When Tifa was super little like toddler little, Cilan and Clemont would take turns having to read her stories and tuck her in because Tifa REFUSES to sleep without being told a story. But not any story, a made up story. She loved listening to her dads make up stories to tell her every night. It really challenged their imagination and creativity since they had to switch it up a lot every night, but they managed to make her smile and happy and also sleep, so that’s important
Cilan and Clemont took the kids (the two kids of Cilan’s from previous marriage I DO not remember which two oh my gosh) to the outskirts of [location of where i decided they lived--i do not remember if I said they live in Kalos or Unova oh my god] to watch the meteor showers. Tifa was also pretty young still at this point, like maybe 10-11yrs old? LIke, not SUPER young, but she’s a kid. She has curfew lmao anyways, so they pitched up a tent cuz they were camping out as well and the three kids were just lying down and waiting to see the meteors. Tifa was counting every single star she saw up in the big night sky but kept losing count after 58 so she has to recount them all when they finally saw the meteor shower, Tifa was super groggy and sleepy (it’s past her bedtime!!!!!) but she jumped up and down and screamed w excitement bc WOW look at those pretty things in the sky!!!!! Clemont and Cilan were very grateful they chose to take the kids out that night.
Clemont tried to teach Tifa how to ride a bike but like... Clemont doesn’t know how to ride a bike... And Cilan doesn’t know how to ride a bike either.... So it was kind of a....... Mixed review lmao. Thankfully one of Cilan’s kids from prev marriage that stayed w him taught Tifa how to ride a bike. Cilan was kinda shook but the kid (I’m so sorry I do not remember I probably could look it up but it’s already too late i’m this late in the game) was like “lmao dad taught us all before” (Trip. Trip is the other dad)
Even tho cooking or baking is not Tifa’s specialties, she once tried to make her dads breakfast and uhm. It uh... Nope. Let’s just leave it there.
Tifa went to a French immersion school so she knows how to speak fluent French (or I guess technically it’d be Kalosian???) and would have conversations w Clemont in only French. It trips Cilan up so much bc he’s still learning French, but like he’s not a beginner beginner? Like just a level above beginner and below intermediate if that makes any sense at all.
