Considering it was not stated when in November the anniversary of this show is, I will endeavor to repost this everyday of November that i remember this exists.
Over the Garden Wall is almost ten years old and that both feels too old and unbelievably young.
I remember first watching this in the backroom of a museum on my ipod touch in late August in 2015 and it still feels like it’s been a pillar of Americana for the past thousand years.
Cozy nightmare
wearing a mask so no one can tell where im looking
LITERALLY RUBI TO PINPIN-
@kurozasa i think you'll like this one ;)
Also- why does it look like Batman is slowly backing away and dick is slowly realizing it 😭😭😭
And without context for what he’s saying? It’s like Bruce is slowly getting more and more concerned/afraid ab what hes about to do and he wants no part in it 😭😭😭
Releasing another 4k words of comedy [featuring a fic doodle as propaganda]. Shrimpo tries to apologize, but he is the world's unluckiest man.
Anyone who tries to use the ‘oh he was like 60 by the end’ excuse to hate him is immediately invalid in my eyes when it comes to the show, like, dislike him all you want thats your prerogative but don’t blame it on that, he was 10 and he did what he could to keep close the only people who’d ever been shown to actually give a fuck about him, even if the action was drastic he was so young theres no-way he would’ve even thought about the moral standpoint of it or something, and by the tome a few years had passed he’s still not aging and his brain isn’t changing in anyway, so essentially he is still basically just a 10 year old, and from his ten year old pov, the choice he made was for the best- he hasn’t gotten in trouble, his fairy godparents (and new little brother) are still with him and happy, and despite how miserable he had to still be to keep them around, they are still there, and that is more than good enough for him.
I know I just made a post regarding "Timmy's Secret Wish", but I have more thoughts.
Mostly, I think that Timmy was slightly justified in making the wish. Was wishing for everyone to stop aging extreme? Yes.
But look at this from his perspective.
You are ten years old. You're parents are neglectful, you have an abusive babysitter that you're always stuck with, and you're life at school isn't much better with bullying and failing grades.
Then you meet these two fairies who are meant to be there for you. And unlike your actual parents, they take being there for you very seriously. There's only one caveat, when you become an adult they'll disappear and you'll forget about them.
But that's far away. Far far away.
Now, you're life is better. You have two people who genuinely love and care about you like you're their own child, and you love and care about them like they're your actual parents. In fact, they're more like your parents than your actual parents.
Not only that, but the fairies end up having a kid. So, now you have a little brother. A little brother that you love so much. It finally feels like you have the family that you've always wanted.
But now, the reality of what's going to happen in the future is staring you in the face.
In less than 8 years time, at midnight on your 18th birthday, you are going to wake and they'll be gone. And there's no chance of ever seeing them again. To make it all so much worse, you won't mourn them. You won't shed a single tear for their absence. Because you won't remember that they ever existed. Maybe you'll have a vague feeling of missing something, but that's it.
The thought of dealing with losing not only your family, but the memory of them as well, would be horrifying for an adult to deal with. For a child, it would feel like the world is coming to end and there's nothing they can do to stop it.
So, of course Timmy made such a drastic wish. What child wouldn't alter the course of time to stay with their family?
go write three sentences on your current writing project.
I know this doesnt reqlly matter but, i just had my final musical theater showcase of the year today! I was a little nervous because i was slightly late for my dance, but ive been told that i did very well on my song!
Honestly, Kazuki & Rei could absolutely just be platonic friends, roommates, besties, whatever, but Rei’s dad is 10000% treating Kazuki like he’s a romantic attachment for his son.
In Shigeki’s perspective, killing Miri would help keep his son detached, since Rei clearly loves the new fatherly role he has with her, and that truly does push him away from the tight control he wants over his son.
But deciding Kazuki was too much of a liability? Like…there’s no hetero explanation for Rei’s dad to be like “clearly your roommate’s gotta go, you like him too much” because that makes no sense, especially since Kazuki is an asset as a hitman. Shigeki is very loudly and unapologetically treating Kazuki like he’s Rei’s lover, as romantic relationships only cause distraction and potential betrayal of the organization. And why else would he keep repeating that Rei needs to carry on their bloodline, if not to say, “gay relationships don’t produce heirs, therefore this bond does nothing to benefit the Suwa family.”
Rei could really just be best friends with Kazuki but his dad is like “nah that’s some fruity shit right there, we gotta shut that down.”
