look, it may not be a s4 announcement, but can we all take a moment to bask in the awe of the fact that there is so much love for this show and these characters that there is a reunion panel 10 years later?!?!? and that so many people are there?!?!? talking about a show that’s ten years old?!?!? with the two lead actors who also love the show!!!!!!! it’s wild honestly.

Speaking up and educating people on why the most hated life forms on the planet are important and meaningful is a thankless task.

How do we reach out and get people to care about insects and spiders when the average reaction is either "EEWW KILL IT WITH FIRE" or blind panic?

Arthropods are crucial to the survival of life as we know it. Yes, even commonly vilified bugs like wasps and mosquitoes have ecological niches that the world CANNOT do without.

I cannot overstate their importance.

Can't let British people have air conditioning because first they'd call it something twee like "the climate fixer" and then in 20 years they'll call it "the climb" or "the climmy"

I wish kinky sex ed wasn't so stigmatized even among left-leaning "sex positive" circles. Everyone's all "uwu I'm a sub I'll do anything you ask" okay mommy wants you to read The New Bottoming Book so you learn how to sub without hurting yourself since your sex ed up to this point is porn and your ex boyfriend Jared who liked to choke you incorrectly

Ah yes, the autistic experience of being more mature than your peers as a child/teen, and then less mature as an adult. The window of opportunity to relate is... not there

It's such a weird perspective seeing people who watched Renfield treat Rebecca's wounds and protect her after she arrested him without question and proceeded to berate him in his apartment because like

On the surface level, people take that as a sweet gesture on Renfield's part, showing how sweet and caring of a person he really is

But in reality, he's not showing what a caring and sweet person he is...he's showing that despite being mistreated and blamed for something that isn't his fault, he's been conditioned to believe that he still has to be the one to service the people in his life.

We also see this behavior when Rebecca reacts violently to Renfield's sarcastic joke, in which, despite Rebecca's response to the situation clearly being the one that was out of line, Renfield is the one to instantly try to defuse the situation and apologize.

Like, I'm not trying to say you can't get what you get out of their interactions. Lord knows I'm not one to talk about that. And yes, I'm aware the situation is clearly dramatized for comedic effect, but like...

It's just so jaw dropping to me to see people miss this so often and not see (or rather ever acknowledge) the way Renfield falls right back in with someone else who is quite abusive and aggressive themself, to the point where Renfield actually feels the need to point out their tendency towards anger as a response to situations.

It's a very raw and real thing as someone who himself went straight from an abusive parent into an abusive relationship as a teenager living on his own. (Not my current partner obviously. They're wonderful and have been a huge support system in my healing journey. I can't thank him enough for that, honestly.)

Anyway, I just don't think it's brought up enough how real it is that Renfield so easily falls right back into a destructive situation with the literal next person he tries to build any sort of relationship with and I think it's a really important detail to his growth as a person to not only see it, but to see that he eventually starts to recognize that behavior in this new connection and learn to call it out.

i mean at any given moment this IS playing on a loop in my head.
