#they were crying

[i-am-a-secret-ssshhh]

I was watching a video about Family of Nomads, and I'd like to just put this out there,

My mom has a friend who does (did? Not sure) van life before it was trendy.

And let me tell you.

Their children were all very young when I last saw them, the oldest being eight with two younger siblings separated by maybe 3 years each? Not sure about the age gap, but one was eight, one was somewhere in the middle, and one was a young toddler. This was about 4 or 5 years ago though, so I'm not sure how or what they're doing now.

They visited us, once, and those kids were kind of messed up. Nothing really wrong with them, but the eldest was obsessed with Instagram already and clearly had not been given any lessons in internet safety.

Not to mention, all three kids shared one phone. Which, while there's nothing wrong with this, especially at that age, it was kind of scary to see such young children having all-access to social media and whatever they want on this phone while clearly not having had any sort of lessons about how to be safe on the internet. Especially when I, as a(n about) 13-year-old, didn't have any access to any social media. It felt weird.

There were a few other things that stood out. The kids demanded privacy in the bathroom, in a house where they were the guests and there was only three bathrooms total, to film a video opening a slime package they had sent to our house. I learned after they left that the eldest had already drunk a whole glass of some sort of water-looking alcohol.

The standing on the chair to take Instagram pics meme? That was the eldest whenever we went out to eat.

And probably the most heartbreaking was the youngest screaming and crying about not wanting to leave THE HOUSE. Not us, not the toys, not the dogs, the house. The physical building. All the kids were getting upset about leaving the house. My mom herself explained that it was probably because they missed having bedrooms and being in one place.

I never went into their RV. So, I don't actually know what the setup was. But I saw it, and that bitch wasn't big enough to have three young kids and two adults in full-time.

Even back then I was really concerned and weirded out by these kids. I felt so bad for them. Sometimes I wonder how they're doing and where they are now, but then I also think that I don't really want to know in case they're doing worse.

The funniest thing Stranger Things could do is reveal that Steve’s parents are like, really liberal. They donate to AIDs research. They were arrested protesting the Vietnam War. They campaigned for Mondale. Steve tells them that Nancy broke up with him and they’re like, “Thank god, that family believes in Reaganomics.”

Never forget the fact that, because he was roleplaying as his nonexistent lil sister, his twitter account got banned for a while and had to scream publicity he was, in fact, Tatsuki Fujimoto roleplaying as his nonexistent lil sister.

And no one believed him at first.

「The story 'Life and Death Companions' wants to continue.」

I may be pointing out something completely obvious, but Round 7 takes place immediately after Round 6?

Like immediately after.

Hyuna is still there, bleeding. Like it's so unlikely that Mizi and Hyuna have just been roaming for days. Like after round 6, it's been maybe a few hours at most?

My thoughts are a mess rn but damn that sucks for Till if that's true (not that it doesn't suck if it's not).

Ivan dies in front of him, then he has a change of outfit and immediately has to move onto the next Round. No wonder he looks so fatigued, like he's about to pass out at any moment.

Did he even get to eat or drink anything? I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't, but still.
