"you've already left kudos here. :)" ok and I'll leave some more. You got a problem? Because in my opinion, this work is so good and the author totally deserves it

[thusfar-artt]

You, every night.

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

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.

Little House on the Prairie is quite possibly the best show ever and I'm crying over it rn

Used adobe fresco oil paint for the first time and did the wrong prompt lol

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
