[ posted in the early hours of sunday 8 may aka mother's day.

it's not on brand for wanda maximoff if she doesn't make a post every blue moon about something sad.

today, it's one that she knows she has no business making. but today's a day that she wishes she was spending in westview with billy and tommy, and after seeing them in a portal only a few weeks ago…

the wounds are a little fresh. so is her loneliness. ]

Can you still celebrate Mother's Day even when your children are not with you?

[ her voice is low and her accent is thick and shaky. wanda's trying to keep her composure. this isn't meant to be as upsetting as it sounds. wanda had her script perfected, her inflection decided upon in her rehearsals in front of the mirror. but the star of wandavision's final cut isn't as clean and perfect as she wishes it to be. ]

You should. It doesn't make you any less a mother if your children aren't here.

( nadia wasn't here but he'd bought katherine flowers and a card for mother's day because she was still a mother. )

[oh...now sansa misses her own mother. it would be nice if she could tell wanda about her, and the fish sigil, and perhaps wanda will feel better if she could talk about her children, too.]

Wanda? It's good to hear your voice. I--haven't heard of a mother's day, but I know what it is to miss your family, and if you'd like to be celebrated with cake, and perhaps a new dress, I have some.

I think you can. But you don't sound like you want to.

[ The sadness in her voice resonates with him, and he thinks it's because he imagines his mother saying the same words. They were separated so often that he wonders if she ever felt this way whenever she had to leave her children behind. ]

( Mother's Day. It's been a few years since he was brought from his home world — first to the Dream that was Deerington, and now to the Nightmare that is Trench — but Peter.... hasn't thought of that day, in all this time. Hasn't been reminded of it until this very moment.

He almost doesn't (can't) reply. His own wounds aren't quite so fresh, maybe, but this topic presses against his scars and digs in. It aches. He can't hide that ache in his own voice when he finally does reply, the way his words tremble at the edges. He's nineteen now, closer to a man than a child, but his voice sometimes still feels so small. )

I forgot all about Mother's Day. I haven't— ( Something hitches, pauses. Peter swallows, and his words shift, tone softening. )

How many children do you have?

Oh, I've never heard of this holiday. If your children are not here, I think you should still celebrate. They're your children, aren't they? I'm sure they love you very much and miss you.

I'm so sorry your children aren't here though.

It's not always easy. But I've still celebrated mother's day and father's day, even after I lost them both. I'd like to think that it would make them happy.

Once you become a parent, you're never not one, right? I'd say you could still celebrate if you'd like to.

Though I'm sorry you're separated from your children. I can only imagine how difficult it must be.

[ While it's unfortunately very unlikely he'll ever have children of his own, being an android, he has developed some surprisingly paternal feelings toward some here and back in Deerington. Enough to be able to empathise, at least. ]

[ ah, that familiar voice.

wanda can't help but brighten at that. stefan had seen her boys, after all. wanda can't hide from him like she can many others. he's seen them in the flesh and how they brighten even the darkest of dreary corners.

it has a little weight coming from him, especially, well... especially since he has such a loss. ]

Do you really think so? [ she sounds hopeful. ]

I could never take a cake and dress away from Lady.

[ since, of course, everything is for lady, surely. but wanda sounds upbeat and amused—and she feels very touched that alayne would even wish to do something of that nature for her. ]

Do you like cake?

[ he's not wrong. wanda wishes to celebrate, but there are a few caveats to her celebration. what's required is her sons, and, well... they're not here. wanda's tired of celebrating alone. ]

I want to, but... I don't know if I want to.

[ it sounds so utterly stupid when she says it aloud. ]

It's not the same when you're alone. [ she pauses for a moment and considers even asking her next question. and when she does ask, she sounds a little amused. ] Does that make sense?

Two. Two twin boys who couldn't be any more different if they tried to be.

[ although she is a strong telepath, she doesn't need to stretch across the distance to know that perhaps answering him rather than pointing out the tremor in his voice may be what he needs. her voice, despite the topic at hand, is strong and amused—a very stark contrast to how she first posed her original question.

she sighs quietly. ]

It's not a fun day, is it? You don't need to answer.

[ wanda doesn't hesitate to switch to video. if Filledwithsunshine has the confidence to video, then she should, too. and she has such kind words to share—truly the epitome of sunshine.

she gives her a small smile. ]

Thank you.

[ her eyes shine with unshed tears. she smiles. ]

I hope they don't miss me too much. I would want them to be like your username—filled with sunshine, not stormy clouds.

[ ah. wanda hadn't wished to think of mother's day when it comes to iryna. she has missed her for too long—and had wished for her to appear in westview and be the grandmother wanda wishes she could always be. but to know that there is someone else who understands how difficult it is, well... wanda dislikes anyone being in this club. ]

I think they would be happy, too. [ there's a smile to her voice, even if the volume she speaks at is low. ] I'm sorry you lost them both. My brother and I would always celebrate with something small. [ she shakes her head, despite it not being seen. ] I don't know what to do for my mother this time.

I would like to think so. I was only a mother for such a short time.

[ and yet her children had aged twelve years within the span of a week. wanda wishes they had twelve years together rather than only five days. it's one thing she wishes for the trench to give her. ]

I know many of us don't trust the Trench, but… I hope it will give me them one day. That's all I want for Mother's Day. Just a moment with them again. It's very hopeful for a place like this.

Yeah, why wouldn't I? Just because your kids aren't here doesn't make you not a mother. You're still a mom, you still love them.

( he shrugs. )

I don't think there's any strict definition of what makes a mother a mother. People consider themselves mother when they have pets. I think that's fine too.

...at home, there was a certain young lady who always addressed me as her big brother. However, after her mother passed ten years ago, I came to see her as my daughter.

[Not at all the same sort of situation, and it's not as though he ever told her how he felt; it would have been far too forward. Still, as far as Break is concerned, a parent is a parent is a parent, and this is something he and Wanda have in common in this place. He has an enormous pile of kids to look after here, but none of them are Sharon Rainsworth.]

I think that, if we had had such a holiday in my own world...we definitely would have taken the time to honor her memory every year, all the same. Your mother is always your mother even if she isn't there anymore, you know? And -- your children are always your children.

[she laughs a little.]

Lady would be content with an apple, and I'm afraid she'd only ruin a new dress. But I like cake very much, and making clothes for other Sleepers, especially when they've helped me in kind.

[and really, wanda had saved her home, even if it seemed like the sort of thing wanda did very often. sansa has made people clothes for much less.]

Always.

There is a Mother's Day?

( Rose hadn't even thought of it, until now. Dates have been swept aside in favour of the rush of other things as of late, but.... the realisation is sobering in more ways than one.

And her heart aches for the other woman. She realises how fortunate she is that her own child is here with her — changed, nine years older than she was when Rose last saw her, and catching up on that lost time is strange, like getting to know someone new in its ways. But she's still her daughter. Still her Sharon.

And Rose hasn't forgotten the absolute nightmare that was being without her here. Constantly searching, worried, grieving. Thinking she'd lost her again. She'd been sick from it, every single day. )

I don't know if I could. I don't know if I could even get out of bed.

( There's a soft smile there in her voice, but it's certainly nothing but a sad one. Her eyes are moist at the mere thought. )

I'm so sorry.

[ .. talk about a topic Ange hasn't thought of in a long time. Until now, anyway. It brings back such vivid memories and overwhelming thoughts that - for a moment - she considers not replying to the post at all. Just ignoring it, scrolling past, moving on with her day.

But on the other hand, maybe she should talk. If not just to prove that she's stronger than the feeling that threatens to take hold of her when she thinks too hard about that day. ]

If you want to, then why not?

[ Ange's voice is steadier than Wanda's own, though her tone is still slightly soft, especially by Ange standards. It makes her tone not really sound harsh here, though she's doing her best to not let much emotion slip in either. ]

Doesn't make a person any less of a parent to be away from their kids, right? I'll bet you could find plenty of people in the same boat right now, too. Not to mention kids missing their own mothers.

[ wanda chuckles at that. ]

I did have a dog, too. I wasn't sure if I should include him as a child.

[ and now she will. she can be a dog mom and a magical mom. ]

It just doesn't feel... [ she pauses for a moment and sighs quietly. ] right. It's not how you should celebrate. No one celebrates alone in sitcoms.

[ wanda smiles. she's quiet for a long moment. being offered anything is new and strange, but it's not unwelcome. ]

I've never had anyone make me clothes before. [ then she laughs lightly. ] What happens if I like it too much and demand you make me all my clothes?

[ she's joking. she would never make alayne sit there and make her clothes. she'd get tired of all the red and black! ]

Plenty of people do.

( so, do it. that's his motto. )

Sitcoms aren't real life. We wish they were because they're usually happy endings but that's not how things go in life.

Well, I would have to start charging you, eventually.

[her tone is light but this is an ideal scenario. she already makes a lot of costumes for performers at the red, and at least half of all the other clothes she makes are black. having regular clients gives her a sense of security, and she could certainly use wanda's help with a lot of things.]
