warm baked goods are insane. something so beautiful and almost maddening about absolutely tearing into them when they’re fresh. feeling warm all over after. I really do get vampires for real
I get my media recommendations the old fashioned way: by watching someone I follow on here go on an unhinged reblog spree of media related content until I eventually decide to go "alright, what's all this then"
one time i had a dream that tiktok users deemed “kid” as a slur and that you HAD to refer to them as minors otherwise you would get harassed and threatened with doxxing. you couldn’t say “when i was a kid” anymore for example you HAD to say “when i was a minor” instead
Sometimes a family is a werewolf, his niece, his adopted daughter, his girlfriend, his girlfriend's griffin, his girlfriend's daughter, his girlfriend's daughter's friend who just moved in one day (who is the ex of his niece), the kid his girlfriend's daughter (and his adopted daughter, and his girlfriend's daughter's friend) killed once, that kid's mom, the demon who lives inside the kid's mom, the resident ghost, the resident ghost's ghost rat, the werewolf's girlfriend's daughter's girlfriend (but only through a magic portal door), his adopted daughter's no-longer-evil sister, said sister's fifteen cats, two kidnapped adopted butter jellies, an invisible dog, and a frog.
One thing I really like about Fantasy High -- and honestly Dimension 20/Brennan characters in general -- is that even the good parents are not perfect. Sandralynn is easily frustrated, especially when Fig reminds her of herself. Jawbone doesn't always know how to back off and meet people where they're at. The Thistlesprings have terrible boundaries and are deeply uncomfortable with negative emotions. In Burrow's End, Tula is constantly grappling with the urge to limit her children's options due to her own fear.
The experience of having Good Parents isn't that you get your needs met perfectly 100% of the time -- it's the experience of having one or more deeply flawed adults doing their level best to do right by you in spite of whatever shit they have going on in their own lives and psyches. And that's beautiful in its own right.
Love how defensive the dimension20 crew are of their boundaries. Last week Siobhan made some error (I forget what it was) and she just told the camera that anyone who tries to give her shit about it will be blocked immediately on all social media. Murph says the Honor the Cock thing and the crew spends a good 5 minutes of Adventuring Party riffing about how random strangers shouldn't walk up and tease him about it. These people have experienced being a public figure having to weather through months or years of thousands of oh-so-hilarious people beating a stupid running joke into the ground and it shows. They know how to build the boundaries they need to fucking survive.
