Pulled my first bona-fide all-nighter last night. 0/10 would not recommend.

One of your character's parents said something to them that they'll never forget. What are the words that will always echo in their ears?

Canonically: "Why did you have to fight him, Mark? Why did you have to drive him away?" - Debbie Grayson

And then, the next morning, this conversation:

"I just don't know what to say. I had been drinking yesterday and... I'm sorry about what I said, Mark. I wish I could take it back... I wish I had never said that. I wish--"

"We're going through a lot, Mom. I know it. You're the only person that has any idea what I'm going through... and vice versa. I totally understand. To be honest, I think the same thing sometimes."

"You shouldn't. You did the right thing, son. That man... as hard as it is for me to admit it... that man who we knew and loved... never existed. He was a lie. He used me and he used you. It's hard for me to convince myself that the man I loved was never real... but that's what I have to do to get through the day. We have to move on."

Yeeaaah. Mark and his mom... there's some issues there.

CLIK CLIK CLAK SKREEEEEEEEEE CLIK

(Nah that's not true, he probably had all kinds of wisdom to toss around as a spectral game guide.)

[cameoflage]

Yeah same for Aradia's mom, only with bleaty noises instead

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

"Run. Run!"

[masterofgunfu]

"We're leaving. I've got a friend in Texas who will help us. We just have to get as far as we can before the Tech fades. Oh my baby angel, I'm so sorry it took this long."

[kd7sov]

I'm not entirely certain, but it would make sense if one of Felix's parents once told him to protect or look after Jenna.

For Kain, it's "Make me proud." Which he was, in fact, too young to legitimately remember, but nevertheless.

Fluttershy has no parents is the loud one of her family Mother said be good, Father said be nice, that was always their advice I have no clue.

*Record scratch noise*
That's... wow. My ears hurt from the quiet levels there.

[needs_fern]

This actually is a theory I've seen... well, not seriously proposed, I don't think I've seen any truly serious theories about Fluttershy's family, but it's definitely out there. I find it only slightly less amusing than the idea that one or both of her parents is the head of the Pegasus Mafia.

"Swaaaaaan graaaaaandkidsssssss."

Seriously, Parsifal likely gave Lohengrin the same advice the knights gave to him, which is essentially, "You can't kill a swan or anything else innocent."

Mia will remember Lemia's advice regarding the likes of Nash, which is basically, "Don't let your feelings blind you to the truth, whatever you discover that to be."

Lucas apparently won't forget Hinawa saying she loves him, which is his safeguard and anchor to reality now. Not once in any of his visions or hallucinations has Hinawa brought any ill will.

[cranky_parsifal]

*expectant side-eye*

[knightoftheswan]

*dalkhg;ah;glkng DAD GO AWAY*

[cranky_parsifal]

I'm shocked at you, son! You never used to startle like this. Do we need to work on your reflexes?

*lines up his bow and fires, fully expecting Lohengrin to dodge*

You'll be teaching your own swan kids this someday! If you're good enough to keep yourself from being punctured, heh heh heh.

[knightoftheswan]

*DAMMIT DAD WHY YOU ALWAYS DOING THIS?!? Lohengrin ain't even gonna talk to you while he dodges that arrow and gets out of here.*

[cranky_parsifal]

*stalks after his prey-thing* A chase, huh? You tease! You know how much I love those.

*fires off three more arrows, and then two at once, cackling like a rather dignified hyena*

[vance_prime]

"I love you, sweetheart. Close your eyes, honey, don't look--"

Raph "You will listen now. my Master Yoshi's first rule was "Possess the right thinking." Only then can one recieve the gifts of strength, knowledge, and peace. I have tried to channel your anger, Raphael, but more remains. Anger clouds the mind. Turned inward it is an unconquerable enemy. You are unique among your brothers, for you choose to face this enemy alone. But as you face it, do not forget them, and do not forget me. I am here, my son."

Mike "Bring him home, Michaelangelo. No matter the cost, bring him home."

Aang "But we cannot concern ourselves with what was, we must act on what is."

Bumi "Death is an illusion."

[gottadealwithit]

Korra "You're going to be a great Avatar, and we're proud of you."

Dinah "What I'm afraid of is that you'll end up repeating all of my mistakes."

Lawton "It's your own damn fault! If you had just done what you were supposed to none of this would have happened."
(Context: 'this' is the rape and murder of Lawton's son.)

Mac "Some people have the power, some don't. That will never change."

Mel "For god's sake, look out for your brother."

Renee "Don't ever come back. My daughter is dead to me."

Will "Aye aye, Captain."

Marguerite "Beauty will fade, but brains are forever."

Teresa
Um.
It's kind of likely that her strongest memory of her parents is watching one of them kill and eat the other one. Claymore canon is like that!

[minkhollow]

Cata won't tell me, but she hasn't told me anything about her parents so far, so I'm not really surprised. (I don't think they were very happy with her joining the Guild.)

For Sam, canonically it'd be his mother saying 'not again, not again...' the second time she was raped. Millicanonically, the Conversations With Dead People he had with her a couple years ago has stuck with him, mostly because that's the only time he's actually talked with her; she was too brain-addled and he was too young, when they were both alive.

Claudia's parents have largely been usurped by her brother, so: "And remember, I will always, always--"
(Though for more Millicanon, CWDP again; her mother made a point of saying that people die from completely natural, non-Artifact-or-someone-out-to-get-them causes sometimes.)

I'm sure Apollo carries some insight from his mother with him. Zeus is... Zeus, and he's certainly not going to take Hera's word for anything.

For Imp, it's something from the almighty row he had with his father before he left Llamedos (what exactly, I'm not sure).

Regulus... ahahahaha. Well, there's the fact that (headcanonically) his mother barged into his room after Sirius got Sorted, painted the family crest over his bed (for whatever reason, she didn't have Kreacher do it; probably to drive the point home) and said that Regulus had better Uphold Family Tradition.
But he's shifting more to one of his father's insights from the Christmas Carol thread: "There's more to life than status."

Red hasn't hit it in OOMery yet, but it will be her mother's advice on controlling the wolf. (I don't remember the exact quote, but it boils down to fear of the wolf leading to loss of control.)

[happilyneverafter]

"You would have been enough."

[gavin62truck]

"Hey, you little shit, you know that nose of yours is always gonna be bigger than your cock, right? Get outta the goddamn bathroom already!"

Thanks, Dad! Way to instill confidence in your kid.

[damncompass]

There's not much in particular that Joshua remembers from his parents, other than he never truly got closure when they died. The last conversation he had with his mother was an argument about money. (Alllllll headcanon.) What haunts him more, and what he won't ever forget is Claud's screams when he teleported away.

Orion has cheerfully forgotten most of what his parents told him, and frankly would rather keep it that way.

[aberration]

Some of these are parental figures rather than parents, because... yeah.

Elle is just giving me a 'we're not even going there' look.

Asami's father has given her a lot of good life advice, but what will probably stick in her mind is the sound of his voice the night her mother died.

Marceline (because her father's not around a whole lot, and we know nothing about her mother): "Please forgive me for whatever I do..."

Manny pretty much just took all his mother's you-can-be-anything assurances very seriously. Which makes him both ambitious and sometimes cynical.

Leslie (because she lost her father when she was ten, she doesn't have any brothers, and Ken Burns never wrote her back): "That's what you do when you care about someone. You support them, win, lose, or draw."

Katara: "Go find your Dad, sweetie. I'll take care of this."

[herr_bookman]

Canon? Autor's parents run an inn, and are never mentioned in the show.

Headcanon? "His name was Drosselmeyer."

[hey35andholding]

Ahah oh man:

Clem: "You're nothing but a little slut, and you always will be." from her mom.

Dixie: "Dear child, be careful in this wicked world." - the convent's mother superior, the day she left to marry Doc.

Juliet: "She's tougher than you now." - Her mom to Ewan, after Jules graduated from the police academy with top honors.

Pinkie: "I feel so happy." - Her father, for the first time ever, after she threw the family their first party.
