Little House on the Prairie S1E11 is such a great suspenseful episode. I've seen this series before but when I was a kid so it's been a while and I'm crying over the possibility of Laura having rabies

Gonna be real personal here and share a memory.

When I was between 10 and 12, the Hallmark channel would hold Little House on the Prairie marathons on Sundays. My mom wasn't the best person or the best parent, during this time, me and my older sibling were taken away from her custody for a while even. But Sundays for me were really special. My mom was a massive fan of the books and show. She wasn't a massive fan of us kids, so she had a rule: watch Little House with her or stay in our rooms until 10am. Basically, we were being told to sleep in.

I was always an early riser and during this time of my life, my siblings and I were very isolated. We lived on former farm land (we even had an abandoned chicken coop that had to have housed at least half a dozen chickens and an abandoned barn between our property and the property next door). We had a family computer (this was back in 2008-2011) but we had to be monitored the whole time. All I had for entertainment in my room were toys I was too old for and a small library of over 50 books that I had read too many times.

So, I decided to give Little House on the Prairie a try and fell in love with the feel good show. My mom, who I butted heads with all the time but craved approval from, was ecstatic that one of her three unruly children liked something she did. So, she went out and bought all the books for me, secondhand. And I read them and loved them even more than I thought I would. For years, my mom and I would wake up early on Sundays to watch Little House when the marathon started.

I left her custody when I was 14 to live with my dad's parents. There were so many reasons that made my mom an unfit parent and I have a scarce few fond memories of her. Recently, now at 26, I started watching Little House on the Prairie on Prime Video. I'm still on season 1 and found myself loving the show just as much, if not even more than, when I saw it as a kid with my mom on Sunday mornings.

I've caught myself on the verge of tears at times, wishing for those Sunday mornings back. I haven't talked to my mom since I was 21, when she used my grandmothers death and my moms breast cancer scare to try to get back in contact with me. I don't ever see myself talking to her again. While watching the show, I have to remind myself its okay to look back on those memories fondly. Just because someone was a monster to you, doesn't mean that you can't have fond memories of them.

This was all too personal, I know, but I also know that there are other people who have similar stories like mine and I just want them to know its okay. It's okay to have fond memories of someone and curse their actions in the same breath. Humans are complex, lives are complex, and rarely are things as black and white as someone just being a terrible person. And it's okay if you don't have fond memories or if you don't want to think about those memories.

I will never speak to my mother again, but I will always remember how much I loved those quiet Sunday mornings.

Every now and then I remember that one weird plot in Wizards of Waverly Place where the bad guy was tricking Alex into becoming evil...with a tetherball

Adding onto my own post: Shawn and Cory from Boy Meets World

I've decided I have no patience for older shows and movies that do the "haha people think they're gay" jokes because even then it wasn't funny. Nah, they're all canon lgbt to me now. Short list of those included:

Dean Winchester and Sam Winchester (not shipping them together but both were victims of the "gay" jokes so now they're both lgbt to me)

Chandler and Joey from Friends (never seen it but i've seen clips of the "gay" jokes)

Spencer Reid (that time that Morgan joked about hoping Spencer was with a girl plus he was originally supposed to be bi anyway)

Feel free to add to this list

Desperately need to know if anyone else read and remembers the Harry Potter fanfiction series that started with Saving Connor by LightningontheWave on fanfiction.net because I'm rereading it and I'm on the 4th, Freedom Not Peace, and this is just my favorite harry potter fanfic series. And I never hear anyone talking about it and no one I know irl wants to talk about this or read it

Last video was well received so heres my other tribute post for the late Shannen Doherty.

I was really upset yesterday about her and I was at the point where Prue dies in the show in my latest rewatch. My grandpa saw how upset I was and told me this story of a man who's family member died and how he told my grandpa that the thunderstorms told him that his family member was climbing or stomping on rainbows on their way to the afterlife. We had thunderstorms since the night she passed and it helped me a lot to think that Shannen was stomping on rainbows to her afterlife, happy and pain free.

I know to some people it's odd to be so torn up over the death of someone I've never met, but I grew up very isolated until I was 14. My only friends were my brothers and the characters in books and tv. Charmed was one of the shows I fell in love with as a kid. Charmed made my childhood magical. That's something I will never forget. And Shannen was a big part of that.

Rest in peace, Shannen, and stomp those rainbows.
