the funniest thing to happen to me in the catholic church was the fact that when i was a catechist my co-teacher brought up the song passerine by the oh hellos like it was a glowing review of the christian faith
my sister was talking about how her best friend pronounces some words and she goes "that bitch doesn't even have a speech impediment, she's just stupid!" and i fucking lost it 😭
Had a hilarious conversation about Harry Potter with my mom recently she was like going on about how characters don't need to be sexualized and jkrs tweet about gay dumbledore is stupid but she couldn't think of the word asexual so she just said "dumbledore is nonbinary he doesn't need to have sex"
Oh my god, today my co-worker said to me "You'll be happy to know I watched (your show) last night." And I was like "Oh? Did you like it?" And she said "Yeah, but it grossed me out the way the old man always has that drool on his chin! It wouldn't be so bad if it was just for one scene but it was like, all the time!" And for some reason it hit me ridiculously funny and I laughed about it for like a solid two minutes
fionna's world being represented by a dandelion makes so much sense ... they're weeds. yet people make wishes through them, changing their whole meaning from something meant to be destroyed to something hopeful.
dandelions are also resilient and it makes sense that something associated with them would. you know. perservere despite the destruction caused by the scarab.
but ultimately i think what REALLY made me tear up over this is that dandelions are really boring plants. when you're a kid you blow on them and make your wish but they're not eyecatching or anything but still, fionna's final wish was for her old world to still exist as it was when she left it (> plain and simple. boring even).
like the moment she realized she would lose her friends, and that her friends might forget each other if the world got its magic back, she immediately decided she didn't want it and I think that ties back to the dandelion metaphor so well... like, do you really need magic to be real to find it everywhere? or can you turn something boring into something magical?
the batman piece is tagged with quirkless au now, i try to tag my specific "aus" etc if there's lore :) the lore is rarely explicitly in the sketches but i DO like to imply it and some sketches have the same context idk if i make sense
