I'll never understand how any of them has the brain space to remember so many names.

An easy mistake to make.

Okay but this weeks episode really made me sit down and think about Fig & Riz parallels. The punk rocker who doesn't know herself but devotes herself to gods and devils all for her friends. The nerd who knows himself SO well but is scared to let the people he cares about know, who picks up his friends and tries to carry them over the finish line. "I know I don't really wear my heart on my sleeve" (is lying) vs. "It's all out there. That's all that's going on emotionally." (is lying) Making up multiple personas and a list of "romantic" interests so long that the fbi is out to catch her, versus making up just a single roëmænce partnær just to pass as "normal". Being terrified to be in a relationship because it means being known and being disinterested with being in a relationship but no one can know. Huge identity shift right before highschool versus "My nickname in middle school was The Briefcase Kid." The everchanging actor afraid to look at herself and the rocksteady investigator whose biggest fear is being seen.

ohhhhhh Sandra-Lynn Faeth my beloved. she's everything. she's a high school dropout. she's a messy bitch. she's a MILF. she's divorced. she's in a polyamorous situationship. she shagged an archdevil. she went from a single mother of one to the semi-legal guardian of a 9 teenagers, one adult, 15 cats and a gryphon. she's had multiple affairs. she lives in a haunted house. she tells Fig not to smoke and immediately takes a drag off her cloves. her taste in partners is absolutely inscrutable. she's even bisexual. truly who is doing it like her

thinking about gorgug and the thistlesprings. thinking about how wilma & digby have gone their whole life trying to raise gorgug as a sweet, non-violent kind if guy. how they were so fixated to prove their families wrong that they didn't realise it wasn't healthy for their son. that they've been loving gorgug despite his rage for so long that they haven't even considered to love him with it, because of it.

thinking about lydia barkrock who's been continuously raging for 20 years, and how her rage is so special and noble. thinking about ragh who's grown up with a barbarian half-orc parent. the fact that despite all he's been through, he was never ashamed of his rage.

thinking about autistic gorgug, who's been masking his rage for all his life, being in porter's class where he's told that if he isn't boiling angry all the time he's useless. how he sees all the kids around him having no issue engaging with their rage. if he ever thinks, "why am i the only person who is struggling with this?" or "fig's not even a barbarian why can she do it and i still can't fucking get it?" or "what does everybody want from me and can they just please fucking agree instead of pulling me in 5 different directions at once all of the time??"

wondering if gorgug ever sees the barkrocks together and feels that quiet jealousy bubbling. if he reprimands himself instantly because it's not fair and ragh deserves this and his own parents aren't bad people, they're just.. different. maybe a little too wrapped up in their families' prejudice to allow them to be even the littlest big of right.

thinking about lydia barkrock looking at this kid who's never been taught that it's okay to feel his feelings, all of them. wondering if she sees ragh's struggle with his identity mirrored in gorgug. does she feel guilty, for not noticing her son was so afraid to be who he is? does she wish she would have been more there, more open, more supportive? does she ever look at gorgug biting down his rage and think "don't do this, kid, don't go down that path, look at how much damage it did to my son"? does she consider talking to the thistlesprings about it? does she know about their parenting?

thinking about gorgug and ragh, having support in the aspect of their life they didn't really need– gorgug in his sexuality, ragh in his rage. do they bond, over this? do they joke about swapping parents sometimes? do they support each other in the ways their parents couldn't do for them?

the raw power of gorgug and kristen synchronized second hand embarrassment is unspeakable

sometimes I think about how Brennan brought up the Harvestmen, making them a militant hyper-religious apocalyptic cult that was a sect of Helio. and then Ally Beardsley, the amazing person that they are, went ":) oh ok so Kristen has definitely gone to these meetings before."

I'm chewing on Kristen. Everyone leave I need a moment alone.

Who taught her the handshake, did she get those two hours of sleep or did she have to clean, were her friends at church members of the Harvestmen, how many times did she go, did bucky and bricker and cork ever go, how close was she to getting a scarecrow mask of her own, did she feel like she belonged or did she feel alone, was she treated differently because she was the chosen one of Helio or did they take painstaking measures to treat her normal so she didn't find out anything they didn't want her to, did her parents bend the rules for her (just a little, just the handshake.)

Fig and Fabian are officially stepsiblings, making them the first Bad Kids to actually be legally family.

Now, all we need is *checks list* Jawbone and Sandralynn to get married so Fig and Adaine can be stepsisters, Gorthalax and Sklonda to get married (if they haven't broken up by now) so Riz and Fig can be stepsiblings, Pok and Bill to get hitched so Fabian and Riz can be stepbrothers, and, uh... Kristen to get adopted by the Thistlesprings so she and Gorgug can be siblings?

Me when the Gukgaks

I’m fully already crying as the Bad Kids return home because I know that Adaine is about to get 16 presents as a sign of such unconditional love from her new dad

NMK Baron - warlock and unable to do anything about this.

Cassandra Baron - sorcerer with a very concerned mother

i did not realize going into this season i would come out shipping gorgug with three different people i was coming into this with the biggest donospring mindset and yet here we are

They should not have released this while I’m on my period. I genuinely want a teen pregnancy plot line right now.

I went into the fantasy high tag (ON PURPOSE!! I WANTED FANART!!) and accidentally got spoiled for the latest episode of junior year, so for anyone reading this: SPOILERS!!!!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN FABIAN GOT POSSESSED BY BARON?????? I THOUGHT RIZ DEFEATED BARON IN THE NIGHTMARE FOREST????? also the fact that fabian's worst fear was literally being used against his will and helpless to fight against it, and now he's POSSESSED???? brennan lee mulligan what are you doing to me I WANT TO FIGHT

adaine's family relationships are something i can actually be so incredibly normal about too btw

fig faeth is literally the best divorced kid representation of all time

I love Wilma and Digby Thistlespring
