I made it. I made it. I made it!!!!

I am old enough to be a parent to a college-aged kid. I made it. It sucked. It was hard. I lost parts of my self I may never get back. But I made it.

You can make it too. You DON'T have to change who you are. You might have to hide things from time to time, but I want you to know that it shouldn't be about shame. It's about protecting those beautiful parts of yourself from harm and having the joy of them robbed from you. It doesn't make you any "less". Eventually all of those 'secrets' will be like spring bulbs. Beautiful bursts of color and life just waiting for a good, safe, warm day. You just gotta hold on.

You can make it. One day you'll be an old weirdo with creaking, crunching, knees. You will live long enough to see your own crow's feet. You'll stop caring about what other people think and honestly other people will stop caring about what you do. Eventually you get the "adultier adult" pass, and barely anyone gives you a second look. And if they talk shit you've got decades of practice under your belt and you can verbally eviscerate them for it. You can make it.

I got gray hair!!! I never thought I would. I love every one of the little wiry motherfuckers. I made it. You can make it.

Co-signed. Live!

OMG AHHHHH THIS IS SO PERFECT!! i wanna crawl into your head just to see your musical thoughts, this is so, so good 🥹🥹💕💕 my brother has a talent for music and helped me understand which sound was which instrument 🥰🥰 I could imagine a video with this in the background and the writing of the scene playing out 🧡🤧 thank you so much for a wonderful piece of art!

The Raph's bonding is my favorite and you picked one of the best scenes 🥰🥰💕💕 ahhh I love your style, this is so good!! Somehow this is the perfect mix of 2012 3D style and the 2D of Rise!

you literally don’t need any other plot and i would watch the movie

• Every 'normal' adult is fussing around Pugsley and Wednesday because "poor children that must be so hard for you to see mom and dad break up like this"
• But the kid are absolutely unfazed, arguing that "it's alright they will be together again soon". The normie are so sad for the "children clinging to vain hopes" until Morticia and Gomez get married again two weeks after the divorce.
• In the meantime Mama and Uncle Fester fight about which one of them will go to whose custody.
• They pretend to argue in court and at meeting with lawyers over the splitting of the properties but that's mostly Gomez insisting to leave more and more thing to his wife in an angry voice.
• At home they decided not to talk to each other so Lurch has to (begrudgingly) transmit messages from one to the other, even when they are sat on either side of the table.
• That works (more or less) then Morticia says one word in french and Gomez run to cover her with kisses until Morticia remind him that they are spliting (that's the only moment he seems to regret the whole thing)

This. All of this.

Wednesday offers to help with split custody of Pugsley. her suggestion involved a big table saw

I am guessing this is the study! It's a single airline but we're talking inbound flights, too. Not repeated since 2023, or at least no additional data has been published. I still agree 'mask on every flight', especially on high-traffic weekends and during things like flu season, but worth taking a peek at the data.
