Redrew this screenshot from a spvstw interview bc I think it's funny. Like. Why did they do this.

On the one hand it's Ella's mom's funeral and that's sad, but also Char is shooting his shot! That boy is down bad for a girl he's only heard stories about and he is not letting his first chance to get to know her pass him by.

And perhaps why this isn't sleazy is that Ella notes he was crying himself and his stories about her mother shows he did know her and appreciated the real her, with her humor and sass. Not the generic, false praises of the Chancellor or the superficial of Ella's father regretting her death because she was beautiful. But the same reasons why Ella loved her.

All of this cheers up Ella, makes her smile. And of course he's taking this as an opportunity to introduce himself, not marry her. He really does want to meet this funny, clever young lady and it's soooooo cute!

Who do you think is the most overrated character?

Uuuh... Rumpelstiltskin.

Which reminds me... when exactly are they going to finish up that Home Island story?

And are they waiting till winter-time to reveal Grapple-Pap as Rumpel's daddy XD

sharing a very sage bit of advice from The Simpsons' own John Swartzwelder that i've been trying to hamper down in my writing and drawing alike. let your inner crappy little elf do his worst

I gotta say, one of the greatest achievements of my 20s was that I learned (mostly) to differentiate between:

"I truly do not want to go" and

"I'm just feeling the Demand Avoidance, and I will like it once I get there."

It's like we all collectively forgot as a society that friendship and just connection in general takes effort. Even if you meet someone you immediately click with, it takes hanging out about 20 times (!) to become friends. And guess what, some of those 20 meetings might be awkward or unimpressive.

We all want to reap the benefits (having a friend circle, having a partner, getting married) without doing the work (going to events, interacting with people, learning to handle conflict maturely, dating). Myself included. If I could, I'd never leave the house or go on another mediocre date again... except, that's part of the process.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, the cure to the loneliness epidemic is touching some grass and building tolerance for tedious in-person interactions.

"School districts currently work with processing companies to offer cashless payment systems for families. But the companies can charge “processing fees” for each transaction. By law, students who are eligible for reduced price meals cannot be charged more than 30 cents for breakfast and 40 cents for lunch. With processing fees, however, families can end up paying 10 times that amount. Processing companies charge as much as $3.25 or 4% to 5% per transaction, according to a recent report from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau."

i'm existing purely to spite people now i will not lie

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

And lemme know your age (if you feel comfortable!), and when you got your first phone in the tags!

If these options are scuffed I'm sorry, I genuinely have no clue how many phones people are "supposed" to have had (hence the poll)
