The irony of this scene is, they actually are talking about how much they love Webby.
As a parent or a grandparent or guardian, you want to protect your kids from darkness that is the world. You want them to remain innocent and happy for as long as they can, so as her grandmother, of course Beakley wants to protect Webby from the truth that not everything/everyone has good intentions.
But that’s not reality. Louie knows this. Louie grew up in poverty, his uncle constantly changing jobs and living arrangements just to support him and his brothers. Louie’s seen enough of the world to know, you can’t live in ignorance and you have to face the harsh reality that there are scummy people out there who don’t have your best interests at heart.
Beakley loves Webby too much to see her positive and optimistic granddaughter get hurt, but Louie is that anchor of reality for her that you cannot hide the truth forever, especially from your loved ones.
Fun fact: ‘Mind how you go’ is a Terry Pratchett reference. Not only his last book, The Shepherd’s Crown, has this dedication to one of the characters, it’s the Pratchett family’s mantra for safety:
Her [Rhianna Pratchett’s] parents were living in Wiltshire, while she was based in London but they saw a lot of each other and spoke constantly. “I’m always telling them I love them on the phone in a slightly silly way. We always say to each other, ‘Mind how you go’; it’s almost like a Pratchett mantra for safety.”
with Rhianna, the daughter of Terry Pratchett, saying this as her last words to her father and her granfather.
Uhh anybody seen this? Apparently, there is a concept for Crowley’s bedroom. The artists got some other awesome concepts on his site, with like little behind the scenes information, check it out, I’m really in love with all of them! (Also his other work is fucking fantastic as well!)
Question: If you were to play poker with 3 of your favorite roles, how would the game end up?

David’s answer: He ultimately chose opponents he thought would be easy to beat: Casanova (because he’d be distracted), Walt from HBO’s Camping (because he’s so nice he’s probably let David win), and Benedick from Much Ado About Nothing (because poker hadn’t been invented yet so Benedick wouldn’t know the rules)
