“Äiti itki. Isä lähti huoneesta. Vivian istui nurkassa ja kuunteli vaiti. Kissamme Minni hyppäsi vuoteelle ja käpertyi jalkojeni päälle ja kehräsi, sillä kehräämällä parannetaan sairaita.”

“Mom cried. Dad left the room. Vivian sat in the corner and listened quietly. Our cat Minni jumped on the bed and curled up on my legs and purred, for through purring the sick are healed.”

Not to talk about the watcher thing again as I’ve already kind of said my piece, but one of the most batshit insane parts of this whole unbelievable situation is that for some reason they decided that for some fucking reason the BEST time to announce this highly controversial decision was literally DAYS before they would be going on an international tour and having to face irate fans IN PERSON. Guys. What the hell. At least have the sensibility to announce a move that you HAD to have known would make people upset AFTER one of the few times you actually interact in person with your fanbase.
I hope you’re ready to investigate the Tower of London for ghosts, because I have a feeling the Londoners will be more than happy to acquaint you with the building later this week.
Insane move after insane move. Truly.

WE'RE BACK.
Our scheduled post didn't work last week for some reason, and y'all were sans FRIDAY BEAR last week. WHAT A TRAVESTY!!! WE'RE SORRY! You were probably wondering why the week felt so long. GAH!
Well, to make it up to you, we're sharing not one... not two... but THREE beautiful black bears. It's FRIDAY. You made it. Make that weekend amazing.
(And please accept our apology.)

I refuse to celebrate the fascist nation that continues to let down its POC, queer, trans, disabled, and indigenous citizens to this day.
Also I have good news. I finally got hired again and started yesterday. I will try to get the commissions done as soon as possible despite no longer having unlimited free time.
(also yes I know she's British lmfao do you have any idea how much fan art of anything in general on the internet breaks canon? It's more common than you think, so who cares )

Like, we can quibble about merits of fidelity to the source material in principle, but in practice I have literally never encountered an "exactly the same thing except in a higher resolution" remake that actually added to my understanding of the material in any way. They just skate across the surface of my brain without leaving any lasting impression – I don't even remember them except for the bits that depart from the original, which kind of defeats the purpose of a faithful remake. I understand that there's a spectrum of fidelity in play here, but if my only choices are a beat-for-beat recapitulation and some egregious bait-and-switch meta bullshit? I'll take the second one every time.
