Part Sixty-Four: "I've never had sex with any girl."

Apr 10, 2012 09:45

ZOMG! We had a total Luke Marathon Fail, y'all! I blame the long weekend, and a co-mod's illness, and just plan mental fog and confusion, because we are only human, people! Uh, not that any of you even noticed, probably, but whatevs; we are moving along ( Read more... )

not the parents of the year, jade is still here, luke's epic teenaged angst, luke = gayer than a box of birds, good dad is kinda bad, luke's face, luke puts on his big boy pants, good dad is kinda good after all, luke = love, luke snyder marathon, comment fic

You know, I think Lily's reaction is realistic. Sure, it's not favorable or positive, especially for her son, but some parents still would or do react this way. I know it's easy to hate on her because we here are way more accepting but I think there is at least one parent every so often that is shocked and can't figure out how to deal with a gay son/daughter. So I give props to Martha Byrne for that. I do hate on her, though, when she and Damian team up later and try to 'straighten' Luke.

Oh, Luke! I want to give him a massive hug and tell him that it's all okay, that he'll be okay.

This gets me wondering if Reid himself had a coming out moment with his parents or if they died before he admitted it out loud. I like to imagine a nine-year-old Reid confiding in his parents, though. :)

:) I agree. Many parents do have this kind of reaction. I think the 'hating on her' is a) fun and amusing, and b) somewhat educational for folks who might not have thought it over too much. Not that many of those folks are reading noah_who, but you never know! LOL! ;)

That sounds like a fun prompt for the LuRe comm! You could maybe get 10 different Reid-comes-out (or doesn't) stories. I'd love that!

Yeah, it is fun to point out how wrong she is, I'll give you that.

Hmm, that does sound like a good idea.

My own quick scenario:

"Reid, what's wrong?"

Reid sits slumped in the chair, his piece of cherry pie untouched on the plate in front of him. "Steven didn't invite me to his stupid birthday party."

Mrs. Oliver pats her son's shoulder as she tries to come up with yet another excuse as to why Reid wasn't invited to one of his classmate's birthday parties again. "Maybe the mailman lost it ( ... )

N'awww! Mrs. Oliver! You're a good egg! :) What a lucky duck this Reid is.

It's not so much her reaction that makes me detest her, which is the better word, I think. It might be realistic, but damn, why do parents always have to be so ignorant! And what makes me detest her is that she always claims to be the best mother around while in reality she fails at every other turn.

Oh, I know, that is what's so frustrating. :(
