Since Hazbin Hotel has been released (I’m late to the party), I would like to bring it to all the 90s kids attention that Vox is just Face from Nick Jr. that died and went to hell.

The knowledge that Vox’s entire public image could be ruined with a Blue’s Clues VCR will never escape my conscious thought when I see the TV man.

After very little research into the other writings of Laura Ingalls Wilder and Rose Wilder Lane, my hypothesis about the Little House authorship question is that the writing is mostly Rose's, but the heart is Laura's.

In Laura's newspaper columns, the parts that sound most like Little House mostly come from the extracts she shares from Rose's letters (incidentally, it's kind of adorable how proud she is of Rose: "My daughter's in France!", "My daughter's in Albania!", etc.) The prose of Old Home Town, Rose's inspired-by-my-childhood-home novel, has some of the same concise descriptive prose that I've come to associate with the Little House style (I could hear passages in the voice of the Little House audiobook narrator).

Yet the Little House soul is all over Laura's columns. She's fascinated by the simple tasks of life, believes in home and family and hard work, believes in holding onto the goodness of childhood and looking forward with hope toward the future. There's an optimism, almost a romanticism, about life. The children's series that bears her name clearly comes from the same woman.

Rose, by contrast, is much more pessimistic. When writing about childhood, she's almost cynical about the life of a small town. She highlights the dark stories underlying the wholesome exterior, is extremely sensitive to the pitfalls of the social scene around her. Part of the difference is that Rose is writing for adults, but there does seem to be an essential difference in the personality behind the pen, despite the stylistic similarities to Little House.

(At the risk of pop psychoanalyzing people long dead, Rose seems much more neurotic and introverted and sensitive than her mother. In her writings and in the books about her childhood in Missouri, she comes across as child of a fairly comfortable modern life, with all the modern anxieties, in contrast to a woman who grew up starving on the prairie and knows that there are much worse things to endure than small-town gossip).

It's not much of a thesis, but I'm just fascinated by the fact that the Little House series can share so many stylistic similarities with Rose's writings, yet feel so much more like Laura.

maybe if we get an ending where afos humanity is fully on display and he makes peace with yoichi it'll finally put an end to the "afo was born evil and will always be pure evil no matter what" takes that are STILL persistent even after 407 dropped.

Y’all would not believe how much strength it takes out of me to not reveal my secret fictional crushes every day.

okay first of all was anyone going to tell me that ac/dc is an australian band. and second of all was anyone else going to tell me that they're apparently colloquially referred to as "acca dacca" in australia

I know a lot of much needed change is coming my way. Although I am excited for the long awaited opportunities, I do feel heavily unsettled.

I think it’s out of heartache of what’s going to happen to a lot of people I won’t see again. They’ll forever be lost in the labyrinth of time. All I can do is move forward and hope my people stay with me.
