World's Okayest Dad | Video
[Tucker looked...well, it was hard to tell because his helmet's on, but there was something annoyed in his movements. Behind him was a room that seemed mostly barren and militaristic aside from the tossed about mess, a room that might seem familiar to his Chorus friends really, and the camera shook a little as he plucked something off a wall. It was turned over in his hand before he pointed it at the camera. A photograph, one with five human kids holding basketballs, and one that's...a little different.]
Since someone brought it up and now we're talking about it, yeah, I've got a kid. His name is Junior and he's amazing and I'm super freakin' proud of him. He can kick anyone's ass in basketball, is a freaking diplomat and on a scholarship, he knows at least ten different words for "dick", and he hasn't bitten a person in at least three months. He got a ribbon at school for that one.
[He pulled the picture back and put it on the wall again; there was one in his wallet, too. He was, in some few and far between ways, like every other dad out there, just with better jokes.]
He's the best goddamn thing about being a Chosen One. [There was a momentary pause, because--]...Okay, so maybe he's tied with the sword.
Don't ask specifics. Just know that childbirth sucks, I don't want to talk about that, but I'll tell you how damn amazing my son is if you want to listen. And I know I'm not the only one with weird families, so come on and spill it.

[ No judgement, man. No judgement at all. Guy's proud of his kid, that's the most important thing. ]

He'd love it. Just, uh, don't laugh if he accidentally takes a bite out of the ball. Old instincts, blah blah.
[Alien instincts. Not Tuckers'.
....okay, maybe a little Tuckers', too.]
no subject
Little guy's enthusiastic, huh? I dig it.
no subject
Yeah! He loves the game. Get's a lot of fouls for knocking people down, but the kid's like three times the size of them and it's more of them running into him and falling back; he doesn't do it on purpose. He just wants to play like everyone else.
no subject
He getting more blowback from the kids or the parents?

So, my name gets around.

Glad he's getting the opportunity to just be a kid, then. People underestimate that. Especially when you get famous.
no subject
[Fuck, Tucker couldn't help the smile. This guy was an impressive amount of positivity.]
What about you? Do you have family?

Blood doesn't always make family. It's the people you love, the people you fight for.

[He's only saying that because he agrees. Really.]
