No. You remove your child from the scene (because children are often reacting to overstimulation such as the grocery store is too loud, the room is too bright, there’s people they don’t know around, they’ve been there too long etc) and go somewhere quiet. You then sit with them as they cry, reassuring them that you are present, and once they have stopped crying you offer comfort and ask if they know what it is that they were so upset about. Then you calmly talk to them so they – and you – can understand and fix the problem that was the root of the tantrum.

Bad example;
‘Why are you crying?’
‘I’m hungry’
‘Well we’re going home soon!’

Good example;
‘Do you know why you were crying?’
‘I’m hungry’
‘We’re at the grocery store to get food. We only have three more aisles to go. We can count them down together. Then we’ll go home and we can eat.’

Children don’t understand ‘soon’; even for adults, ‘soon’ is a relative term. children understand things like ‘three aisles. Two. One. Now we’re going home!’

Children need communication, understanding and teaching. Not beating, intimidating or belittling.

Get therapy.

“hm, my child is upset and being loud about it, I should hit my child to make them stop being loud”

big dick energy

Exactly the kind of response Doomguy should get when he walks into a room with other humans.

This is genuinely beyond big dick energy

It’s honestly Argent Phallus Energy (APE)

Holy shit

Everyone is talking about key-card guy, but my favorite is the dude who tries to hide behind his swivel chair. Babe, babe, No, Doomguy jumps dick first into hell portals on an hourly basis and pops berserker power ups like your mom pops xanax. That chair aint doin SHIT. 

Also I love how they don’t just seem to be afraid of the fact that the apex predator of the Legions of Armageddon just walked in. They are acting like they think he might attack them, because you know the UAC has waged a serious PR war against Doom-Chad while he’s been kicking ass on Mars/Hell.  

ALPHA AF!!!

I just love the fact that DoomGuy spots the keycard on the dude’s lanyard, and instead of doing a vicious yank, or simply snapping it off the lanyard like he always does, he very, VERY carefully takes it, and slowly pulls the dude to the scanner, before letting him go.

For a dude filled with eternal rage and seething violence, that was remarkably polite of him. It was almost his “…Excuse me. I require this. Pardon my reach.”

Then that poor marine. “Hey YOU! You can’t… be… here…”

DoomGuy just casually approaches, looks at him, looks at his gun, and then still remarkably politely, just takes it. Doesn’t wrench it away, or kill the guy, or anything violent. Just reaches out and retrieves it. Again, like “You are doing a fine job. That’s a fine weapon. Mind if I see it? *takes it and walks away*”

It’s as if he’s being very, VERY careful not to harm normal humans (or whatever augmented humans those armored marines qualify as), saving his violence specifically for the Daemonic.

Kinda supports my idea that DoomGuy isn’t neccessarily a bloodthirsty raging psycho. He’s a guy who has seen so much, done SO MUCH… that he’s calm. He’s so far beyond wrath at the demons that he’s entered a weird Calm and just LIVES there. Nothing shakes him of it. He doesn’t grunt, he doesn’t yell, he doesn’t scream, he just breathes and moves on. New demon? Well, it’ll bleed like the last. He doesn’t revel in combat, he just moves through it like walking through air; it’s a function of existence for him.

Doomguy dissociating 100% of the time

dichotomization:

Devil’s Tramping Ground a wooded section of Chatham County, North Carolina. A forty foot in diameter circle can be found there. Any objects that appear in the circle will mysteriously disappear or get moved from within the circle. No wildlife, vegetation, or inanimate objects can be found in the circle known as the Devil’s Tramping Ground. This phenomenon was first discovered in the early 1800s and is believed that Satan paces around this circle and ponders about ways to undo mankind..

boy scout troups have tried camping on it, and woken up in their tents a few miles away. Some guys tried to stay up all night in a tent on the spot, and later reported that a soft, soothing melodic voice lulled them to sleep and they too woke up a few miles away

#why is that so cute tho#like most of the time u hear about this shit and its like ‘they got their eyes clawed out or disappeared or died’#but this is like#’casually picks up your stuff and moves it somewhere else or gently sings you to sleep’#like dang thats the most polite demonic circle ive ever heard of what a sweetheart

I just love the idea that Satan has a specific spot for pacing and pondering

that doesn’t sound demonic, that sounds fae. surprisingly nice seelie fae, considering they woke up the same age as when they went to sleep, and not even hallucinating or with their hair turned white or anything. i bet if you left a bowl of milk and some honeycomb there you’d have good luck all year.

Americans reach for the Devil as the catch-all explanation for supernatural shit just so readily when there are so many other candidates.

well, you gotta understand, ‘the devil’ in american folklore isn’t exactly satan. he’s more of a trickster figure, albeit a dark one. he can’t resist a gamble or a challenge, and it’s possible to beat him. meet him at the crossroads and he’ll tune your guitar for you, guaranteeing fame. shoe his horse while blindfolded and you’ll be rich, as long as you don’t peek.

the american folklore devil is basically the same trope as the european fae.

shoe his horse while blindfolded and you’ll be rich, as long as you don’t peek. 

That’s what Terry Pratchett wrote with Jason Ogg and Death – I didn’t know that had a real folktale as a base.

Yeah, that’s about right. Maybe slightly more prone to evil. Like, don’t screw with him if you can avoid it, but if you’re very clever you may pull something off. If not, you’re kinda doomed, and he doesn’t seem to be as prone to the “ha. you amuse me. sure.” sort of response.
