I Am Horrified By How Often I Misspell Airk And Kit's Last Name.

Did anyone else sometimes hear Airk's, Kit's, and Jade's names being said as Eric, Kate, and Jane (respectively)? Like, I didn't think those were actually their names but sometimes I was confused when I heard their names spoken. However, I didn't know Airk's name wasn't Eric until I went to tumblr. I guess his is just pronounced the same way?

I reminded myself tanthamore is canon, and I was euphoric. Then I remembered that Willow still hasn't been renewed for a second season, and I started overthinking everything in my life

I'd be lying if I said I didnt think about you practically all day

Please?

Willow may have only graced our screens for a short time but I hope it's presence left an impact on the fantasy genre. I would love to see more fantasy shows that are less dark and gritty and more fun and adventurous, less a reflection of our own world and more a form of magical escapism.

I want to see more swashbuckling swordfights, more fantastical magical creatures, enchanted worlds and epic quests. Also more fantasy that doesn't take itself too seriously or feel the need to be "historically accurate" for the sake of drama cause god forbid a character get a happy ending these days.

Also I just want Willow back, GIVE IT BACK TO ME DISNEY

Yes! When I first started watching Willow, I was like OMG. THAT'S ELORA and of course, I was really happy that that curly red haired character was Jade and not Elora, but it really is such a coincidence...

Okay, this is a little off the wall but bear with me...

So, it must be a bit of a known thing that Elora Danan has red wavy hair, because otherwise why go to all the trouble of having her dye it?

And what if to keep Elora Danan secret and safe you needed to divert attention elsewhere?

What if you found a little girl, with red curly hair, who was just about the right age, and insisted that she stay by the princess' side, almost like one of your own children? What if you wanted a decoy?

We don't know why Sorsha decided to kidnap a Bone Reaver child, but this one would certainly be convenient...

Trump isn't guaranteed to win this year's presidential election because he's been shot at. In 2020, Trump supporters voted in heavy numbers, but guess what? They still lost because we outvoted them. 

Do I want to vote for Biden? No, but I will since no third-party candidate has a winning chance, and I don't want Trump to be president again. Unless y'all are gonna overthrow the American political system and government, we need to vote.

It's normal to be terrified about this presidential election, but don't allow it to stop you from voting and trying to stop that orange fucker from returning to office.

When you realize the reason you can't fall asleep is because you're thinking about the deep complexities of life and you don't know why, you realize that life actually is complex!
