I've just heard Black Betty and couldn't help but think of home. It's a silly thought but sometimes I wonder what would happen if all my made families would meet. Even though we have been through extraordinary things I think my friends from back home would have a hard time believing my life here.

	Some how I don't think you're talking about the band... Though Ram Jam is easily one of the best songs. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I am! The van which we used was named after it. My friend Liam named it that way because it was black and had 'Betty J Cleaning Service' written on it. He loved oldies. We listened to a lot of them. It feels so far away now. They will always be fond memories. Not everything was good but the good parts, like the music, were really good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. I missed music a lot when things went bad. Ram Jam was one of the songs that would make my Mom forget, and actually smile. We'd dance in the living room when my Dad was at work, or off on a bender. Everything around it was bad, but for those two minutes and twenty five seconds, we could forget just how bad it was.

	It's a song that can really make you forget, isn't it? My friends used to sing along with it. Sometimes forgetting everything around you is the best you can do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is! My mom would sing with it too. Sometimes two minutes and twenty-five seconds is all to keep on trucking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes! Sometimes you just need to be reminded that there is something worth living for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've been gone away from there for ten years now... It's been longer for her. I have to wonder if she thinks about Black Betty at all.~~Or me~~ (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Haha exactly what I was thinking! I’ve got that stuck in my head now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hey, I could die happy with that song stuck in my head. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It's good to know someone else enjoys the better things in life. That song gives anything Mozart wrote a run for it's money. Also, it's a really good high energy fighting song. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I don't think I've ever really listened to Mozart. It is! And it was exactly what was needed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, you are young. :P Kidding!!! But I understand, Classical isn't everyone's thing. Good! I use it to train sometimes! It's good to know someone else uses it, too. But, if I may ask?; Why would you need a good fighting song? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yellow_zu 2021-12-05 12:28 am UTC (link)
	We needed it to lift up our spirits. The old songs really helped. In my world, back when I was young, children were feared by adults because we had abilities the adults didn't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, as long as there is something there to keep the spirits up!

I honestly hate to hear that. I know we've only known each other for a good while now, ~~and the whole Hell thi~~ but it still.. It angers me to know that. Anyone with special abilities should be treated exactly the same as those without.

Grr, I'm sorry.There was something like that in my world as well, but it was long before I was born, and it just makes me mad to know there are other universes where that has that happen. Especially if it happened to you.

	It's not an unusual thing to happen. People get scared of things that are different and that they don't understand. We were portrayed as alien and dangerous. I wish it had been different but it wasn't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, that's what started several wars from where I'm from, too. I guess we were lucky enough to get past that sooner rather than later. I'm so sorry your world is still going through that(?). It's a dangerously slippy slope. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Humans seem the same across worlds. Different worlds, same patterns. At least, we have a community here who accepts us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private theboysandcrash 2021-12-05 01:18 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, normal humans kinda suck. They give too much into fear. Given that, yes, I'm also glad for this community we have. Speaking of!! And to totally change the subject: Do you want to join us for our Christmas dinner? You're family, after all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private yellow_zu 2021-12-05 01:26 am UTC (link)
	I disagree with that. Not everyone is the same. Many parents came to our aid. Humans with powers or not are the same. Some individuals can be egocentrical and dangerous though. Is Mama hosting this? I will need to split up my time this year with Mama and Papa not being together here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

~~I never met my par~~ Okay, you're right not everyone is the same in that aspect. Honestly, I won't lie, that's a really good overall assessment.

.. No, my wife and I are going to be the hosts. With every member of our family. Bonnie, Bryn, Dean Winchester(hopefully).... Dean, Erandur, Johnn, Sophia, Maryanne, Reeve, and Mackenzie. You can bring any one you want, Bel Amour is open to anyone who wants to be here.

Though, it's up to you. Color me selfish, but, I'd like to have my God-Sister here celebrating with us.

	~~Not my sisters? Not my nephew?~~ Thanks, I'll think about it. I need to see what the other side of my family is doing. My cousins had a rough year. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, our home is massive, and open to anyone and everyone. Shit, this is a bit awkward but as far as I know, a piece of your "other side" is the God Parents to Reeve. Trust me when I say we have more than enough room, I plan on making more than enough food for anyone to come and join us, with meals worth of left overs.

Please. My home is your home. That includes any and all family. Just tell me how big I have to make the table? Or.. If I may need multiples?
