What's a false tabloid?
Redundant?

Yeah, but Gud, in the context of that post, it makes no sense at all.

I'm not shocked. She's taking a lot of abuse for anything and everything she says over at Salon, too, and it doesn't seem proportionate to what she's actually musing about.
It feels like a lot of what she's currently touching on are the things that pass through your mind late at night, but there's some sort of assumed compact not to speak of them out loud or even think about them too hard. Things that to me feel like musings, not many steps above idle thoughts, are clearly being taken as pronouncements. To me that seems connected to the MotherLoveCult stuff, and a general humorlessness that seems to surround a lot of touchy issues these days. I really feel for her regarding the drubbing she's taking - I was shocked at the reactions to her first couple of Salon columns.

fictional thought. I do know IRL [...] Does the precocious kid who's buds with mom and/or dad turn out to be male, often?
Wait, in real life or in fiction? Because for fiction, you've just cited Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars, and in real life, I know that I, for example, am friends with my mom. So all I'm coming up with is girls. But I don't watch Jack and Bobby.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In Jack & Bobby, not only does he co-parent his brother, he parents his mother. It's royally dysfunctional, and he knows and resents her for it, even as he does it.

But I would not say he's buds with her.

Really? I don't get the vibe that he likes her. They don't share many close and upbeat moments, and if they do, they're likely to be shared parenting moments, not actual friendship.

No. I missed a not in there that I put in on edit.
I think he resents her more than he feels like, "hey! Friend!"

Oh, absolutely. I cited him as the only boychild peer I could think of, although I'm still searching for one like Rory or Veronica who's actually not unhappy about it, and doesn't feel like their childhood was stolen.
