Look, Avengers cups!

Also Megan Thor-tested them before we bought them.

My best friend sort of made me 2 BLTs while I was drawing today. Then she became raspberry fingers. I win the best friend contest.

Also she made sure I didn’t waste my paycheck on Hello Kitty kitchen ware. But then she convinced me to buy these Avengers party cups for the cookout tomorrow. She wins the friendship awards.

I have a dream!

maybe im thinking a little too hard but, i dont think this is something to laugh at. This child’s dream is to work alongside their mother. to do the hard work [because in all reality it is the janitors, the factory workers, those in food service who face the REAL stress. moreso than the the CEO. yeah, i said it] that they see their mother participating in. it sounds like Ashanta is holding their mother in a high esteem [being as it’s their “dream”] and i dont think there’s anything wrong with that. 
if one is laughing because it’s a dream that is not “ambitious” i would argue against that too. one can guess that Ashanta is a child of color, and vowing to one day have a place of employment while occupying their body IS ambitious to be quite frank [assuming this is a cisfemale child of color, but these are assumptions im trying to keep from making concrete]. to not only want to have employment [because they couldve said another of TRULY frivolous things] but to also maintain a familial relationship that society constantly tries to destroy within families of color [racially motivated DHS, CPS, social workers, etc] is monumental. 
this child’s dream is to WORK with their MOTHER.

i think thats beautiful.
fuck anyone for laughing at it. 

i really love your break down. thank you.

I dont know why people enjoy mocking children so much. Every child is deemed sweet and innocent - but if they’re marked as a child of color from a working class background it’s a free for all? Hm ok.

I don’t think people understand that food service is a really high stress, tasking job with very low pay. I didn’t understand it until I began working at Nhinja.

It’s also sort important to note that this is developmentally unremarkable behavior. Children usually will want to do what their parents do at some point, because they love them and see them as being on the same tier as superheroes. Basically, Superboy is going to want to save the world from destruction because that’s what daddy does, and Ashanta here is going to want to work at Taco Bell because that’s what mommy does. Superboy doesn’t want it for glory, or because that’s what he feels his calling is. He wants it because that’s what daddy does.
