Thus did the Hair Bear Bunch explain themselves to Peter Potamus

Back at the La Jolla divers' camp of Peter Potamus, and by the fire pit of same even, only with the Hair Bear Bunch, preparing for a return to their Malibu Secret Surf and Dive Spot--again, in discussion with the ever-intrepid hippo:

HAIR BEAR, getting to explain himself: You know, Peter, with us bears, things can't help but become fascinating, and then some, with ourselves, especially since having to leave the confines of the faltering Wonderland Zoo some years back--and I say "faltering" in the sense that such was falling apart big time! SQUARE BEAR, adding to the whole: And blame two rather inept zookeepers named Botch and Peevly for more or less driving the zoo to the ground--deferred maintenance, mismanagement, blaming us for all that was going wrong-- HAIR BEAR: And before long, the zookeepers were having such a breakdown big time that they had to go into a sanitarium such as forced the zoo to close more or less. PETER POTAMUS, fascinated: I assume this explains how you managed to discover more of your inner bear, if I may say so? BUBI BEAR, ever the whippersnapper: Geez, you're certainly ever correct the clyde, what freedom, what release from those ever-intoxifying Botch and Peevly, beyond the constraints of the zoo! And what surfing, what diving, did we discover with former child actress Twinkles Sunshine! HAIR BEAR: Who, I will have you know, was actually Sylvia Barbanna, to use her real name; it turns out the Pinchpeny Pictures studio was faltering, especially after "Twinkles" had to be let go from her contract when her voice broke, followed by a hasty bankruptcy and her parents, who only wanted to see their Sylvie in the movies just to buy themselves out of welfare, being killed in a motor accident soon afterward ... and she was put up with foster parents for want of "fit and proper relatives" who could care for her ... and saw in her much more than a former child film star, especially suggesting that she take up surfing and diving! PETER POTAMUS: So that's where the surfing and diving angle was learned! SQUARE BEAR: Yeah; she was certainly quite a teacher in such fascinating crafts! HAIR BEAR: And she helped us find our secret spot to the north of Malibu. PETER POTAMUS: But then again, what explains your sexual prowess, especially those mating season road trips into "bear country"? HAIR BEAR: Credit "Charlie," more or less. As in she who lead the CB Bears in assignments all over; she lives now close to the Yosemite country, and Square, for some reason, led us through his Invisible Motorbike to her quarters out of whim ... eventually to discover the very wonder and delight as sex is, and as sex ought to be ... I can still recall my first time with "Charlie" sexually, thinking about it now ... she just felt so wonderful to mate with, what release from my loins was to ensue with her! PETER POTAMUS: And before long, such began the mating season road trip experiences, especially so the orgies! BUBI BEAR: Oh that's right, that's just a fascination and delight to be had, just letting those--[Square Bear puts his forepaw over Bubi's mouth] SQUARE BEAR, in the circumstances to hand: Uh, what exactly was Bubi saying? HAIR BEAR: Oh yeah, the mating season road trips just can't help but feel so interesting, just sensing the relaxing effect sex can bring about, as well as some diving on "the morning after the night before," as it were.... [And more where this came from, the sort unlikely to be of interest to the average reader and Old Hanna-Barberian]

Reminder that famous conservative figures are con artists. “Alpha male" influencers like Andrew Tate deliberately isolate you and exploit your loneliness for profit. They teach men ideals that make them repulsive to women, and then sell them "solutions" to make women like them, which obviously fail. Andrew Tate doesn't want you to become a "sigma male", he wants you lonely and miserable because that's when you're most dependent on him. Conservative influencers take advantage of ignorance and loneliness, and this is the end result.

HE MADE IT!!! MY GUY MADE IT........

[cissa-calls]

Reflecting on the scene of young Lilia in a gown the color of goldenrods in bloom and sunshine, racing to meet her teacher and begin learning what it is to be a witch. Learning what would have been the end, her end, was heartbreaking yet healing. She was full of anticipation and ambition and life, before the weight of prosecution, guilt for having predicted and watched her coven die, and having to bury her magic (once her source of power) became known. When she stays behind to trap the Salem Seven, she tells Jen with more love and conviction that she has spoken in the entire show:

“I loved being a witch”

Lilia finally realizes her path, steps and accepts what it means to know herself. To practice witchcraft, as proved in the trial by reading her own tarot instead of Billy’s, divination is not only more than kooky sector of the craft, but an act of her agency. An extension of herself. She can relinquish guilt and shame, but doesn’t grieve, despite only realizing this when her time seems to be running out. After all,

“The flow of time is an illusion”

When Lilia let go of the table in the trial room, falling in a gown evoking a character who represents all things good and dressed once again as a queen of cups, she is floating, flying. She is more than a batty woman. She is a cunning witch, and she always will be. So, while Death is guaranteed, it is not the end. That’s why the end of the episode is the earliest we see young Lilia. Her life is a tapestry, not a timeline. The cycle repeats and life goes on, as her mentor says:

“Let us begin.”

"The morning after the night before," as it were, among The Banana Splits

DROOPER, out of curiosity, over breakfast: Snorky, how exactly did it go with your lover last night? SNORKY: [Incessant honking of the sort Drooper interprets as "aww ..."] DROOPER: So I take it you were in some rather serious love, Snorky; am I correct? SNORKY: [Incessant honking, subsequently interpreted by Drooper as meaning "How else could it feel when you're just curious to learn about sex, to begin with?"] DROOPER, somewhat tenderly: Snorky ... at least you're starting to sense just what sex is, and what sex can feel like. [Gently gives Snorky a hug to show his appreciation of realising as much, with Snorky responding in kind ... leaving Bingo and Fleegle going "Awww ..." in kind themselves]
