What other account ? '-'

I don't know. But I had one way before.

 

[Organizized]

Yeah.. so did I. I was actually the sixth ever registered member. Just don’t know what the account was.

Btw, my son has had pirates on the brain for like four-five months now. Too bad he can’t read subtitles yet or I’d get him on an OP binge.

I got my ex's kid into OP when he was about 7. He binged it fast, until he was traumatized by kids turning into stone or being killed in Laws flashback.

Interesting that everything before that was fine, but that was too much. Of course I monitored it by giving him only a couple of volumes at time and then talking them out, so it was suprising.

Damn.. Then you were still first. There wasn't a lot here, but more than 6.

Just kidding, I'm actually Taylor.

Let him watch it anyway, kids don't need subs. They need moving pictures and audio.

Doesn't matter, Gen 1 is always the best anyway.

 

[GrySun]

I wish I could say my gen was the best but apart from Panda I don‘t remember who‘s in it.

These words are as true as it gets.

Yeah, I guess maybe somewhere closer to 9-10 is a good age to start for real if you want to appreciate it. I was 12-13 I think, and that was pretty perfect, but I don't want to wait 10 year to introduce my kid to "mah series". It'll probably be somewhere around 7 for me as well. The good thing about going the manga route is that it's available in Swedish. I mean, I'll do what I can to make him good at English early, but Japanese might be a bit far-fetched since I myself don't know more than the very basics..

This is true in some cases with my son, but this kid has memorized pretty much whole episodes of "Captain Flinn and the Pirate Dinosaurs" (what a title), and gets annoyed when I disturb him when he's watching it and he misses a line of dialogue he likes... so I'd say he's still pretty interested in what the characters are actually saying.

On the other hand, since he loves Totoro, I showed him Mei and the Cat Bus in Japanese and explained that it was in another language and he was like "'Kay." and then he still gave me a detailed recount of all that happened in it, even pretty accurately guessed what they said. Still, One Piece is not exactly on Ghibli level when it comes to subtle, word-less plot progressions and character interactions..

I guess it's what they say parents like to force their interests unto their kids.

 

[Organizized]

Not forcing shit. I showed him films I like, he liked them. No forcing necessary. Some films I've tried to watch with him for my own nostalgic reasons, he's completely rejected, and that's fine. If at some point I send OP his way and he breaks my heart by saying "dad, this is stupid", it's not like I'll force him to read/watch it anyway.

Actually, forcing your own preferences on your kid has the opposite effect, in my experience.

--- Double Post Merged, Jan 27, 2018, Original Post Date: Jan 27, 2018 ---

It's just fun to dream about your kid eventually sharing some of your interests. One of the many reasons me and my dad are so close is our shared taste in (along with films, books etc) music, and the necessity of playing music so as to not go insane. I've grown up going to concerts with him, jamming until late, recommending records to each other etc.

He didn't force any of that on me, though. It wasn't until I was around 14-15 that these shared interests/tastes really "alligned" - before that he took time to be invested in all the other things I was interested in even if he might've thought it was rubbish at the time. So while I've always been close with my dad, shared interests didn't come into play until pretty late in the game. Before that, we were close because my dad was a great friggin' dad, and that's what I aim to be as well, the same way he was.

 

[liductan]

Well relax first lol
Second, maybe forcing isn't the right word but every parent does that. They like to share their interests with their kids. That's why it's so easy to understand people's taste and preferences. Look no further than their upbringing. I'm not saying anything is wrong with it.
It is an observation. That is all.

 

[GrySun]

It’s not a good observation though. It‘s simply a matter of exposure, which you‘ll have regardless if your parents do something actively or not.

 

[Organizized]

Hah, I came off kinda aggro I guess. But yeah, obviously I won't be disappointed if he, when he gets older, wants to go with me to Japan, or plays a kick-ass blues piano the way I never learned so we can jam together, or asks me if I've still got my old SNES and N64 games so he can play them, or... well, you get the point. Like you said, of course kids take after their parents since they're the closest adults they have (if they have a working family relationship). Even if the parents don't actively pass their interests on, most kids will take an interest in what their parents do and like.

I guess what got me going was the word "forced", since I had that discussion with someone else a couple of days ago when someone aggressively accused me of forcing my kid to listen to the music I want. Ffs, my top 10 Spotify artists are all obnoxious kids' songs and audio books, so if my son wants to listen to a song I actually like for a change, why shouldn't I let him just because the chorus goes along the lines of "everyone's effing stupid"?

Totally down for suggestions where migrate my gallery. Pb ruined my life!!!!

I use directupload for all my uploads, for mafia and other stuff. I don‘t know if you get a gallery if you make an account for it like on PB though, since I just use it without an account and save the links. The uploads stay up forever pretty much.

Others like @Farfalla or @zimbardo probably know better alternatives closer to PB in functionality.

 

[liductan]

My parents were not active. I'm very different from fam. I am the baby..So, they were laid back..
I like how mom gave me freedom to cultivate my taste. I tried whatever I like, whether it was for girls or boys stereotypically. That's probably why I'm so free and detach. In the adult, you gotta like this or that based on you gender, age, culture etc. It's annoying.

 

[gnut]

I forced anime and manga on my boys....
They love it til this day and they are pretty normal xD

Nah, nowadays I only use imgur and let my libraries die @.@

Hmmm I'm gen 2 as well, didn't recall that, prolly had the same reaction in the past as well. But I do recall Evil gave me a cool poke, Flaaffy *-* So I more than take it.
