Unfortunately with sympathetic Fagin portrayals, there's also the tendency to overcorrect with less-than-positive results. It's one thing to actually go the full extra mile in circumventing Dickens' antisemitism by presenting Fagin as being a victim of it in-universe as part of the broader societal rot the story aims to tackle, it is...quite another to do what the 2009 West End revival with Rowan Atkinson did (I don't know if the '90s London Palladium production the 2009 one was based on did this), and have Burn Gorman Bill Sikes straight out call Fagin the k-slur as an audience silencing shock moment.

...mostly because the musical is an adaptation specifically aimed at children to get them interested in theatre, and I really don't think they need to be learning that word.

best ending: they talk it out after lewis wins his 8th wdc and we end up with brocedes in each other's lives again. lewis shows up on nico's yt channel. nico is on lewis' insta. vivian dogwalks both of them for letting the divorce last that long. i join the convent because this is clearly a miracle from god and reblog gifsets of brocedes interacting from the chapel. rinse, repeat.

ending we're most likely gonna get: whatever the hell we have now. nico talks about lewis. lewis will say karting is the best time of his career. for two seconds out of the year, lewis will say nico's name. i will sob, rinse, repeat.

worst ending: they shut the fuck up about each other forever. they process the divorce and move on with their lives without each other. i will go on tumblr and reblog angsty web weaves about their relationship and what could've been. i take psychic damage. rinse. repeat.

one thing Steve and Eddie were not prepared for at ALL when they adopted three kids was

like

siblings

they’re both only children for better or for worse, and sure, they'd had close friends that they thought of as siblings (coughcoughrobinandstevecoughcough) but they were surprised to find out that it's nothing like being actually siblings. it takes a long time for the two of them to catch on to the dynamics that the girls seem to just have innately within them

the fighting tends to be mostly between Moe and Robbie. Hazel is the sweet angel baby out of the three and not all that interested arguing about anything

(this creates its own problems though bc Steve and Ed have to make sure she’s not getting completely steam-rolled by her older sisters)

at ages 5 and 3, Moe was aggressively gaslighting Robbie into thinking her favorite color was purple, so that when there were pink and purple items up for grabs, she could have the pink one without any sort of obstacle

at the time, Robbie's personal hero was Moe, so she bought it

they'd been sort of relieved about having three girls because they figured the roughhousing would be kept to a minimum, and it was true that the girls didn't roughhouse all that much, but when they fought, it was fucking brutal. the worst of it was when Moe threw a small chair from a wooden dollhouse set at Robbie's head and she'd needed to go to the E.R. for stitches

around middle school, the girls learned how to keep the whaling on each other completely silent (see this TikTok for reference), and by then they'd also learned some self restraint, so the hospital visits ceased around the same time

uno and sorry are banned in their house. co-op games don't go over all that well either (they even argue about puzzles so sometimes Steve and Eddie just grit their teeth and endure a game night for the memories and quality time and whatever).

once the girls are older, trivia-based games tend to be the go-to. they've all got their own gaps in knowledge so there's enough material for ribbing each other but the game is still able to carry itself

Moe/Steve are the only ones who can answer sports questions without making wild guesses Hazel usually dominates pop culture and science Robbie and Ed are the best at history and art they all suck at geography

who remembers the cranium games? do we recall hullabaloo? Harrington family fav

Steve and Eddie never do get a sense of when exactly the girls are fighting and when they’re conspiring together, mostly because they can switch between the two states on a dime and their poor dads can’t keep up

im seeing that poll about learning cursive in school a lot on my dash and as a vietnamese im kinda bewildered bc what do you mean you cant read cursive?? because to us cursive is for capital letters only! the rest are normal letters. so ig our normal written letters are the american cursive, and our "computer" letters are your normal letters?

↑ these are the fonts we learn in school. The left are our normal letters, the right are our cursive. Oh and the thing is, these are the only fonts we actually taught a school, the "typing" font is just what we imitate from printed books. In elementary school we have "good handwriting competitions" where the participants write in the above fonts and are graded on how close it is to the table above. its like boring calligraphy

Guys I tried to make pancakes and ended up making a nightmare

So everything was going fine until we went to cook them and we got the first one on there and it didn't flip? It was stuck to the non stick pan.

We finally got the burnt chunk of what was supposed to be a pancake off there and we tried a bit to find out that not only was it burnt, but it was twice as salty as it was supposed to be!!!

We then got s different pan and oiled this one up nice and good (too much) and slapped some more batter on there (once again too much) and that one burnt too. We managed to flip it properly though but both sides burnt)

We googled how to neutralize salt and put some lime juice in there because we didn't have lemon. It got all white and bubbly so I assume it was working because science or something

The rest of the pancakes turned out either undercooked, burnt, and a pile of cake rather than a pancake. They were also salty and now limy.

We dowsed them in butter (our mom told us that butter was salty and we were making it worse) and syrup and attempted it to eat it. It tasted like abysmal dog shit

Picture if you wanna see it
