ASH: you've touched through your advocacy... they'd feel abandoned.
RAE: *sighs heavily as she hugs herself* It's pointless to discuss it all. I'll never have any kind of life that I wanted. It's all gone now.
ASH: *frowns* *watches her get to her feet* I'm gonna head out. I think I just wanna

RAE: I could hand the reins back over to him, and take a nice early retirement somewhere out of the public eye with my kids.
ASH: *gives her a sympathetic look* As talented as they are, I don't think your fans would agree at all. I think they'd be very very upset at the change. And all the lives

RAE: her head* But he stepped aside pretty readily after that Pittsburgh show. I still don't understand or agree with that decision, but they were all suddenly looking at me like I was able to grant wishes or something. I'm sure they're all regretting the choice now. I mean, they can afford to.

RAE: Kind of, but I never asked for it. It was the hand I was dealt. My life plans never included leading a band, and when that change happened, I never intended to have the decision-making put on me. I figured that Shawn would do that. He FORMED the band. *sighs and shakes

Has been on either end of an age gap relationship = Shawn

Shawn's eventual bi-relationship will have an age gap of 8 years. It's never been something that's bothered him though. His focus is primarily on making sure his girlfriend isn't falling to pieces on any given day.

KAZ: ask me.
MARTY: No idea. I don't exactly think we 'adult' well as a species to begin with. *jokes back*

🎸Kel Grayson💋 @kelgrayson.bsky.social · 5h

MARTY: perks and privileges. Not as much not that they're older now though. I'm starting to give them more responsibilities so they're prepared for that slap in the face adulthood will eventually give them. *chuckles*

MARTY: of a similar mindset. At first I was focused on trying not to mess being a parent up, but that swiftly gets taken out of your hands when you kids remind you constantly that you're human. So I stopped trying to be 'perfect mom' and settled into 'safe, encouraging mom'. Like you, I think

KAZ: the long run. Provide direction and guidance, but there's gotta be consequences for certain things. Otherwise, how do you learn where certain lines are for yourself?
MARTY: I think parents just try their hardest to bring up the next generation without fucking it up too badly. *chuckles*

MARTY: *chuckles* That'll change as soon as your girls are old enough to sass back, trust me.
KAZ: We'll have to see I guess. I like to think kids can be reasoned with if you approach it the right way. A lot of parents are kind of 'my way or the highway' and I'm not so sure that's beneficial in

KAZ: Eh, not really. Never really wanted to be anyone's boss though. Never liked the way I felt under someone else's rules, so I just don't keep any. That goes the same for other people. You go do what you want. I trust you not to be a jerk about it in the long run. *shrugs*
