Thinking about the mess with Lois almost marrying Lex Luthor at the end of season one in Lois & Clark, and how it makes sense for her character as she is in season one (her ambition and confidence as a journalist, and the endless praise she gets for that - which, in this case, turn against her and her better judgment), when you take the time to think about it and not just yell for 90 minutes straight.

adore | lady mary wimsey x charles parker
The first thing she notices is that he radiates calm, as though he is the eye of the storm and no matter how winds rage and debris flies, the chaos cannot touch him. The second thing she notices, though it will be some time before she realizes she knows it, is that his eyes are brown.
If Mary cared anything for kindness she might have taken a closer look at him, but she has no time for the romance of kindness, and her starving, brittle, betrayed heart rejects it outright. Kindness never killed a dragon. She is fighting for their lives.
Lady Mary Wimsey falls in love with her life, her family, and Detective-Inspector Charles Parker.

I think the main confusion in the Walrus/Fairy debate is in the extent of the question asked by the creature's mere presence
As in, if we're looking at a flat what is more weird, then yeah, obviously the fairy. Obviously.
But some people see the "which would be weirder..." and run through all the basic questions, asking themselves which is weirder or harder to explain or most shocking/frightening:
What is at my door?
Fairies don't exist. Walruses do. Nothing else needs to be said here.
Fairies are the weirder option.
Why is it at my door?
I can speculate on why a fairy, if it existed, might have business with me. Magic quest, testing mortals with riddles, stealing my firstborn. The usual folkloric staples.
I can think of no such motivation that would bring a walrus to my door.
Walruses are the weirder option.
Where is my door?
Most people live in a place that is not the arctic ocean. That is a strange way of phrasing it, but the most essential fact in this whole debate.
If fairies were suddenly proven real, I could speculate on where they might live (underground city, cloud city, invisible city, parallel universe, inside plants, etc.). I cannot speculate on where walruses live, because it is not open for speculation; we know where they live, and it is not where people live.
Walruses are the weirder option.
How is at the door?
If a fairy were at my door, I would be forced to rethink reality itself. Maybe teleportation is real? Invisibility? Maybe it shape-changed into something innocuous and only assumed its true shape when I opened the door? In short, I would be able to speculate on how the fairy made its way un-captured and unobserved to my door.
I would not. Be able. To speculate the same. For a walrus.
The mere presence of a walrus is not sufficient to make me speculate on the existence of teleportation or invisibility, so I am forced to deduce that it came here 'on foot' as it were. There is simply no way a walrus could arrive at my door without my finding out about it on the news or social media long before I heard my doorbell ring.
Walruses are the weirder option.

having a really hard time finding apartments that would take my dad’s dogs and are affordable and available and not disgusting and it’s been super stressful and my dad has like. not been helping at all. literally he made a list of apartments in the area and drove around and looked at them from the outside and when i told him to schedule tours of them he made me feel like i was nagging and i got all huffy and tried to tell him he needs to take this more seriously and help me find a place for us to live or we’ll be homeless in two months because i have no credit and he’s in a lot of debt and he expects my older sister to cosign with us so we won’t be regected but she already has a house in her name and i know she won’t cause we talk all the time and that’s way too much to expect for her & i told him that & he got mad at me and said i shouldn’t have talked to her and told me to stop helping him. when i was like wtf he said he got the apartment we live in now and i was like yeah lol that was before you had two pitbulls and credit card debt and stormed off & then i heard him call like five places to schedule tours and all of them had a no dogs or no big dogs policy.
so now i’ve been looking at rooms for rent by private landlords just for myself but i’m like so scared i’ve never lived outside my parents house and i’m very anxious and i feel really guilty like i’m abandoning my dad but i don’t know what else to do i have to live somewhere
