oh, Little Miss Perfect thinks she's too good for fried owls now, does she?

someone stop this man. he's out of control.

God, she just seems so happy when she doesn't have the weight of expectation upon her! There's no adult judging her on this, no looming conversation about how it'll affect her future or whether she's measuring up, there's just... a bunch of kids, hanging on her every word, and looking up to her no matter what.

If I had to guess, she enjoys this so much because it lets her feel like a kid, in a way she hasn't been able to for a very long time.

well, it's probably not the worst pickup line you could possibly have used, Luz

I mean, I sure as hell can't think of a worse one, but it probably exists

Oh Luz, honey, I don't think that's how they're going to let it work.

you know if Amity's had to put up with these two at home for however many years then I can't blame her in the least for being Like That

okay if the Bat Queen signs all her notes with that dorky little drawing I like her already

Sarah-Nicole you are selling that line so well I'm getting flashbacks

oh, sure, all cooing over the baby right up until it starts breathing fire everywhere, huh

what would Amity think of such a lack of commitment? for shame

I'm tempted here to state the obvious and go "look at Amity being smart!" when that's like the first thing we ever learn about her, but honestly it's a neat touch how the reason she's able to come to this conclusion is through familiarity and love.

her repeated struggles to fit through the door are doing wonders to keep the tone of this bit nice and incoherent

that's not sarcastic, by the way, it genuinely elevates it a lot that it lands somewhere in between weird and sweet and funny

AWWWWWWW

seriously "monster who wants to have friends and so catches people and sews them living into books" feels so new and creative, and yet also manages to feel like exactly the sort of thing that could have been written hundreds of years ago

King how dare you make me laugh that hard

:c

Amity, sweetie, I'm very sorry that I can't help laughing at you when you're angry
