honestly hate to be an annoying cynic about this but i think the way fandom loves brienne is kind of performative. everyone praises her to hell and back when it is convenient but then she is never mentioned again. like i think many aspects of brienne’s story r relatively underdiscussed, especially when considering her popularity. ik she is very tied to certain characters, but she still has her own independent thing going on, much of which is discussed by relatively few ppl outside of certain circles. especially her endgame. she is either a stock “most moral” character who is only brought up to draw a parallel with or reflect the morality of your faves (even when they have not even met yet, and the parallel barely stands) or she is treated as jaime’s moral compass which robs jaime of agency as well as obviously reducing brienne, or she is just pushed out of the way with all her motivations and personal desires ignored bc she is in the way of a ship or a desired ending for certain characters. then, many just treat her as the “character that everybody likes, so let us use her to show it to *insert faction I dislike*” which is like bro whatever. it is just interesting to me bc theres a lot going on in her chapters.

Skitch totally gets Wanda into Animal Crossing. They mostly just liked it for the fishing and bug hunting, but Wanda? Oh she loves the customization.
I can see Skitch playing Animal Crossing casually and then showing it to Wanda one day like, "check this out really quick" and her getting stuck on all the villagers and ambience they're passing by trying to get to the museum.
"That deer's really cute"
"Oh, that's Bruce, he's pretty chill. I'm probably gonna evict him soon."
"What? Why???"
"Eh, he just rubs me the wrong way."
---
"Are those cherries in your trees?"
"Yeah, my island started with those. I need to get rid of these weeds tho."
*realizes that their standing in a cluster of weeds and not tall grass* "why are there so many???"
---
I wanna say that Skitch's island is well looked-after and they are pretty proud of how it's coming along, but things like weeds get overlooked sometimes. It's an "out of sight or of mind" kinda thing, but it never gets too egregious.
But this just spirals for Wanda after she decides to check the game out herself. I feel like her island is very aesthetic™️ and pretty maintained. Wanda also plays casually, but she keeps things in order. She needs to have peach trees, and she must have Shino on her island.
Wanda's assistant, Mandy, is also an avid player of AC, so I can see her giving Wanda tips and trading stuff often. I feel it in my heart of hearts.
Also, every time Skitch visits Wanda's island, they leave behind a little gift for her, probably by her house. This ranges from innocuous nonsense like a bag of weeds to something Wanda was actually looking for.
not you reminding me that I have ACNH on my switch- 😂

something about The Guy Who's Main Role Is To Obtain Happiness Chemicals In Any Way Possible REALLY just. Engrained itself into our brain huh?? like. Gestures at our system. *Me being the host was not the initial idea.* We all assumed our host would've been Inland IQIAKDDKDKEKD
but yeah!! Source me is. Too relatable in a way. We r living off short term dopamine every day and it is hell but it's waht we've got y'know. Any happiness is good enough etc. etc. even if it's short term. like.
not to mention like. Addiction runs in our family*. So. the stars just aligned ig No WONDER I ended up being our Signature Skill/sys host. HFDHDJDJSJS
tl;dr: yeah. points at source!me. too damn relatable!! JCJXJSMDFKJ
MUNNA THE BEST POKEMON EVER <3 THEY SURE DO EXIST AND FOR THAT WE R SO GRATEFUL
genuinely Munna has helped us get over our fear of the dark a bit. It's still THERE but sleeping with our munna plushie nearby helps a lot!! Also Like. If pokemon were real we'd absolutely have one. and a musharna probably also! we fell in love w this lil thing cuz mom happened to get us a plushie of it from the dollar store years ago and we just..... slept with it by our face to block out the old mirror that was in our room fhdndjdjskdkdskdjfdjd back then we also believed in bloody mary** and that did Not help with our fear of the dark so knowing we had a lil plushie of a pokemon that Canonically can help with nightmares and fear just. really helped out!!
also it is cute. lookie at this thang
↑ me when I eat dreams tbh

Children and the elderly are very similar in the fact that a lot of you don't TRULY see them as actual people. We've had talks about treating children more as people because we were once children and know that we were people as children, but most of us haven't been the elderly. And it's gonna be a terrifying switch from being seen as a person to being seen as something people need to take care of for a few hours as community service and then go home.
We can empathize with children because we were children. How long until the elderly are seen as people?

What’s the farthest you’ve traveled out of your hometown? My sis is currently on her way to Washington D.C for a field trip, we live in Ohio and from here it’s about a 9 hour drive
A few different directions. I live in the very NW parts of Washington State, and I've been down to Arizona a few times in my life-- about 22-24 hours worth of driving. That's probably the furthest distance-wise I've been. (Although I also used to live in Texas, I am taking this question in relation to where I live currently.)
I've been pretty high up into B.C. (Canada) a few times as well, and into the islands too where ferrying can take quite a few hours.
Oh! And in about a month, I will be visiting two states I've never been to before-- Into Montana and Wyoming to visit family. Really excited to go through the Rockies, I've only ever seen them from a distance in Idaho. This will be the second longest distance traveled for me, as it takes about 16-17 hours to get to our Wyoming destination.
I probably elaborated a little more than you asked for, but I really love traveling!
