Yes yes.

Hey, I didn't even push for a name like Bobby Tables!

Do you have any favorite extinct/prehistoric frogs?

Like basically everyone, probably gastric-brooding frogs, genus Rheobatrachus, famed for raising their tadpoles in their stomachs.

Possibly/probably driven to extinction by chytrid fungus.

Here's my headcanon take as to why Fred often had Velma go off with Shaggy and Scooby, while he went off with Daphne when the gang split up.

I think it was because Fred knew he could trust Velma to keep Shaggy and Scooby from getting into too many shenanigans.

This is also why I think he went off with Daphne, because she was often getting into trouble as well.

So Fred and Velma essentially are the dad and mom of the gang, and this is why they're my Scooby-Doo headcanon OTP.

OMG

Okay soooo much to unpack already.

First of all, these episodes are getting scarier and scarier by the minute, and yes, I do have all of my lights on thank you very much.

Second of all, OMG the way Scott looked at his mom in that moment when she saved Danny...the admiration on that boy's face, OMG. Scott and Melissa seriously have one of the best parent-child relationships I have ever seen (Stiles and Noah are right up there too <3), and that moment just...SENT me. The way she was immediately willing to do anything she had to to save him not just because she's awesome, but because she knew how much he meant to Scott, and the way Scott just looked at her like she was the coolest person on the planet...AHHH that was so good and so sweet!

Then you add to that him and Isaac "watching over her" in case she was the third sacrifice. I mean, that scene is so sweet for so many reasons--the boys being worried about her, BOTH of them being there, Melissa calling them "boys"--but also SO freaking funny--"You were on watch last." "No you were on watch last." "I may have been on watch last."....AHHH I LOVE THIS LITTLE FAMILY SO MUCH!!!

Third of all, BRO I CANNOT BELIEVE that I didn't even THINK about Deaton. Thank GOD he has Scott in his corner, or he would probably die, but no, he'll be fine (and I'm sure of it!), because he DID call Scott, and he DID have time to warn him, and now Scott and Stiles and probably Isaac and whoever else joins the group are all gonna go save him and maybe actually get some answers (HOPEFULLY get some answers), so it'll be FINE. Okay? He'll be FINE!

Anyways.

The thing this definitely proves, however, is that the Darach knows that Scott and pack (yes, I said Scott and pack--sue me) are onto it, because it's officially endangering people that matter to Scott. It followed its code by killing the two hospital doctors that night, but it attempted to deal a blow to Scott in the process by putting Danny in danger and then killing all the people that would be able to save him--and thank god for Melissa in that moment.

That said, even though the boys fell asleep, Melissa would be too hard to take or hurt, because both Scott and Isaac were RIGHT there, so it makes sense that it didn't go after Melissa, and instead went after Deaton, who's pretty much like a father figure to Scott at this point--can't take one parent, gotta take the other.

My point in all of this is, this is bad, and I hope Scott and pack figure it out soon so that we don't lose the entire pack (and then some) to this stupid evil entity who really wants to specifically hurt Scott at this point.

Season 3, Episode 7. Let's keep going.

(I definitely saw a clip of this somewhere and I don't think I'm to this episode yet, but this mother and son gif is too adorable not to put on here. I love them so much. <3)

Happy new Year!

Here are some parenting goals for 2024:

- potty train the little guy (this is gonna be huge and I'm mighty afraid of screawing it up for him, but I think he is ready enough, I just need to find a good time, maybe spring - but latest in the summer!)

- spent lots of time outside in the warmer months (we did that this year as well, but I think we can still improve, it has been sooo good for his wellbeing and gross motor development!)

- do lots of arts stuff and be more creative and brave with lots of different materials (I love being creative and want to share some of that love with my child, the step-children can join in here too if they want)

- go to lots of fun places like the zoo/museum/aquarium (when little guy was younger I was always very afraid of outings in public, we gotta change this)

- teach him to count to at least ten and teach the ABCs (he is very interested, so that should not be a big problem, right? 😅)

- stay connected with the big big step-children/half-siblings (I don't mention them very often, but they are busy teenagers and sometimes it's hard to stay connected with all the many school activities that keep them occupied for a long time each day)

- survive going on vacation with the little one

- survive the two year sleep regression and all the other fun things that come with this age 😅

2024 is gonna be interesting! I really hope I don't mess this up. Wish me luck. 😊

My middle has huge emotions. Trying to figure out how to help is so hard especially when it's in the middle of an already frustrating situation.

I've talked about this before, but emotional dysregulation is such a mother fucker aspect of ADHD.

Like, sure, not being able to regulate my attention sucks, but it's genuinely fucking nothing compared to the absolute rollercoaster of emotions I just went on because someone said something in a shitty tone, and now I'm having to actively walk myself through DBT methods lest my idiot shit for brains 'shiny-can't-sit-still-disorder' drop the match on that particular bridge because the rejection sensitive dysphoria feels like my chest is burning and not being able to act on the hurt feels like I'm suffocating under the weight of emotions pushing down on me and lashing out in anger is quicker than taking the time to self soothe.

And the annoying fucking thing is I know it's me.

I've done enough therapy to know my emotional response to their shittiness is overblown and dysregulated. I know I'm taking it to heart more than they could ever imagine.

And I've got to fucking sit with that and process it because if I don't, I'll be the inconsiderate cunt in this interaction and hhnnggg--wailing, gnashing, biting my thumb at you in the marketplace, etc, etc.
