#but dang if he doesn't like those fries

[luv4fandoms]

I saw you were looking for a Christmas prompt and I had an idea (you don't have to take it of you don't like it or if you're just feeling finding one you like it by yourself :]) :

If I'm not mistaken it doesn't snow in California right? Let's say that Laddie really wanted to have a snowy Christmas but can't have it, bc there's no snow, and Dwayne buys steals a couple of artificial snow and convince the boys to fly for a little a while spraying "snow" to make Laddie happy, if he happens to ask how is it snowing in California reader would simply say

-Have I ever told you that I'm a witch, kiddo?

-No way! Seriously?

-Yep

-Awesome! I have a vampire and witch parents!

Ok but I swear I just died from the cuteness of this idea!! I had to write it immediately! Laddie deserves snow! As someone who is from Florida and has also never seen snow in her life I know where Laddie is coming from.

Ko-Fi

You watched as the young boy sighed yet again at the images that hung in the shops, depictions of snow covered houses and roads, cars carrying freshly cut trees and children having snowball fights. Yes these Thomas Kinkade-esk paintings were lovely, but impossible, at least where you were. The lively town of Santa Carla was known for many things, the pier and boardwalk, the runaways, the drifters, the shady passer-throughs, the missing people, and being the murder capital of the world…But what it wasn't known for…Was snow…that was California for you. You were very much used to it, having come from Florida, you had never seen the joyous fluffy powder that caused kids to lose their minds and adults to bundle up around the fireplace. But you were in fact, one of those adults, and Laddie wanted to be one of those kids. 

"I really wish it snowed here" he pouted as the two of you walked along the boardwalk, the boys currently out hunting. 

"Christmas is supposed to look like that" he stated, pointing at another image. 

"But it's never like that here, it's just like every other day"

"But with presents" 

"But with presents," he giggled.

"I know sweetie, if it makes you feel any better, I've never seen snow either" you told him.

"Really?" 

"Nope, it was always too hot where I lived in Florida to snow. I've never had a white Christmas either" you explained, watching as the boy looked back at the image.

"I wish Santa would bring snow this year, for both of us" he stated, and you swore your heart melted. Laddie was such a sweet and gentle child, you wanted to give him the world…and if it was snow he wanted, dang it he was gonna get it…You just had to figure out how.

🦇🦇🦇🦇

"So you want to make it snow for Christmas?" Dwayne asked after you had pitched the idea to him once they returned, Laddie off with Paul and Marko on rides.

"I want to figure out some way, he deserves to feel that sort of Christmas magic" you explained, watching Dwayne give you a small smile as he leaned over the table, taking one of your fries.

"And how do you purpose we do that Princess?" 

"That's where I'm stuck. I know back home, Disney does this thing called snoap, where it's this soap mixture that shoots out of these box things that looks like snow. But I'm not sure what the mixture is" you explained, watching him nod.

"If we found one of those big snow machines to…borrow for a bit that might work, but they are loud, he'd know where the snow was coming from" you added.

"I know there is also a mixture of baking soda and water you can make for fake snow. Or powder that you just add water to that makes fake snow…I'm not sure" you sighed.

"You just want him to have a good Christmas…A memorable one" he smiled.

"Exactly! I'm used to never having seen snow by now. But I know how badly I wanted to see it when I was his age. It was never the same type of Christmas in Florida that you saw plastered everywhere. Now snow, no fireplaces for Santa to climb down to put presents under the tree"

"I still don't see how we teach our kids that a man breaking into your house is ok as long as he has gifts" 

"That's not the point" you laughed, though he was right, it was an odd concept.

"I want to give him that moment that, maybe, Christmas can be magical wherever you are" you explained, saddened by the thought that maybe you wouldn't be able to. But Dwayne just took your hand in his and gave you a soft smile.

"We'll figure something out"

🦇🦇🦇🦇

"Are you sure this will work?" You giggled, looking at the machines that each of the boys held, they honestly looked like some sort of large leaf blower but there were slots on the back end for a large chunk of ice, chunks of ice that the boys had somehow acquired an overabundance of. It had been a couple nights since you had pitched the idea to Dwayne, both of you trying to figure out how to bring it to life, this seemed to be his solution.

"We overheard the guys saying these were the latest and greatest for the snow park places" Paul stated while patting the machine he was holding.

"We already did a test run, you should have seen how confused the couples on the beach were" Marko laughed.

"Oh my God is that snow?!" Paul mimicked a woman's voice while looking over at Marko.

"It can't be, it doesn't fuckin snow in California!" Marko replied, deepening his voice.

"Then what is it?! What if it's poison! I'm getting out of here!" Paul finished in the high pitched voice before they both laughed. You could truly picture these two flying over random couples to terrorize them, safely hidden by the clouds.

"Well I'm glad they bring joy to everyone" you laughed. 

"So how do you purpose we do this?" David asked, looking at you and Dwayne.

"This is your son after all," he added. Even after this much time that still made your heart warm…Your son. Dwayne had treated Laddie like a little brother until you came along, the little boy soon growing attached to you, and when you and Dwayne made it official it didn't take long for the boy to ask if you could be his parents, a question you happily said yes to. 

"We'll wait just a bit for it to get cloudy, then we'll take off. The ice is hidden far enough away so even when we have to get more he'll never know. Y/N you bring the rock box out and turn it up as loud as it can go to cover up any noises from these" Dwayne explained while lifting the machine slightly.

"Sounds like a plan" Paul smiled, Marko and David nodding along.

"Thank you for doing this" you told them all with a smile, you really were beyond thankful to them for helping you give Laddie a Christmas to remember.

"You don't have to thank us Sorella, we want Laddie to be happy too" Marko spoke while sitting down his machine.

"Yeah! Every kid should have at least one magical Christmas!" Paul smiled excitedly.

"And if we can provide that, then we will" David finished, a small smile on his face.

"Now you better go get ready" he added while looking over at the cave.

"Ok, I'll go get everything, be out in ten?" You asked, watching as they all nodded, the clouds overhead becoming denser.

"We'll see you then" Dwayne smiled, leaning down to give you a kiss before you made your way back inside. 

🦇🦇🦇🦇

You and Laddie finished wrapping the last of the gifts for the boys, knowing that tomorrow night you would be watching the boy happily hand them to everyone. You secretly checked your watch for what felt like the hundredth time, before realizing it had been ten minutes already. 

"Ok! So now that we got that done, wanna go outside? We can bring the rock box" you smiled.

"Can we bring your Christmas cassette?!" He asked excitedly.

"Of course!" You nodded, standing up and grabbing the boom box and desired cassette tape. Before the both of you made your way up the stairs.

"Why are we going outside to listen to music though?" He asked once you both got out of the cave.

"Well…I heard that something magical was gonna happen tonight" you smiled, sitting down with him and putting the cassette in, turning the volume all the way up, the boy's cue.

"Magical?" Laddie asked while looking over at you.

"Yup, but we gotta watch for it" you nodded towards the sky, and you both turned to look at the clouds, Laddie very confused, while you were trying to hide your smile. Soon enough you saw the first few specks, and then a few turned into more, until it was slowly drifting down onto the two of you, the wind catching it slightly as it blew it around, making it look even more magical.

"IS THAT?!?" Laddie asked excitedly, jumping up from his spot as he jumped up to catch the cold flakes in his hands.

"IT'S SNOWING! SANTA BROUGHT US SNOW!!" He yelled, and you couldn't help but smile and laugh along with his excitement, you had to quickly blink back the tears as he jumped around, the white flakes landing delicately in his hair and on his jacket, his face upturned as he cheered. It was such a beautiful sight, a pure joy that you rarely feel once you reach adulthood, that childlike joy when you feel like the whole world is magic, and nothing can go wrong. You wanted to capture that joy and let him bask in it forever, never having to worry about anything. It was only the sound of his voice that brought you out of your thoughts.

"I don't understand though, I thought it didn't snow here" he asked while looking over at you, shaking his head to cast off some of the still falling flakes.

"Wanna know a secret?" You asked with a smile, watching him nod.

"Have I ever told you that I'm a witch Sweetie?" You smiled, as his eyes went wide, an expression of pure shock crossing his face.

"No way! Seriously?!" He asked running up to you.

"Yup" you nodded from your sitting position.

"Awesome! I have a vampire and a witch for parents!" He cheered into the night, and you knew that Dwayne was smiling too if he heard that, both of you watching Laddie play in the snow that had gathered on the ground, before running over to you with two big handfuls and throwing it in the air above you.

"Wanna have a snowball fight?" You asked with a smile.

"Yeah!" He cheered before hugging you and pressing a quick kiss to your cheek.

"You're the best mom, I love you"

"I love you too sweetie" you smiled while hugging him back, giving him a quick kiss as well.

"Snowball fight!" He shouted before running off a bit to grab some snow, and you swore that over the sounds of Christmas music, you could hear four different laughs.

THOUGHTS WHILE WATCHING GILMORE GIRLS: S3/EP4/ONE’S GOT CLASS THE OTHER ONE DYES (PART 3)

This post is going to be a bit of a quicky. Scene: Lane's bathroom, where Rory is assisting Lane in dying her hair the color of Dean Forrester's balls. Purple. The dude's been waiting over 2 years to get past second base. Come on Rory. Throw him a handy. (Speaking of...the lack of Dean in this episode so far is making me fearful for when he may suddenly appear). Rory expresses her concern that using bleach in an unventilated bathroom might kill them both, but Lane is, like leave those windows locked! i want my mother to smell bleach when she arrives home! Because when she smells bleach she'll definitely think "Lane must be dying her hair" and not "someone is covering up a crime scene"

My belief is that deep down, every Gilmore Girls character is a potential serial killer, and they all have one specific event that will set their killing sprees into motion. Dave Ryglaski suddenly getting sucked into the Male Gilmore Girls Character California Wormhole may just be Lane's.

This episode's got the words "hell" AND "condoms" in it plus not one but TWO rapidfire pop culure references from the 1990's, and not 1973? We're getting bold and spicy in Season 3! Ole! The procedure goes horribly wrong and causes Lane tremendous scalp pain, so back to the beauty supply store they shall go in a few moments, where Shane has returned after servicing Jess on her smoke break. I really love the word "servicing" as a stand in for "blowjob", quite honestly. Per Wikipedia: Vin Diesel's birth name is Mark Sinclair. Sinclair began going by his stage name "Vin Diesel" while working as a bouncer at the New York nightclub Tunnel, wanting a tougher sounding name for his occupation. Vin comes from his mother's married last name Vincent, while the surname Diesel came from his friends due to his tendency to be energetic.

Why does that jacket make such a difference on Luke? When he takes that jacket off he looks super dorky, but jacket on, he looks pretty dang hot. More layers for Luke, fewer layers for Jess. One of the moots told me this event is supposed to be taking place at 4pm for an after school club, which is supposed to explain why L&L are talking to a classroom of teenagers while the main Teens of The Hollow are carousing about town, bleaching their scalps and getting serviced in closets.

In my regular Post-Post discussion with @frazzledsoul, we discussed how Luke, I mean, Butch here, graduated in 1984, the year Jess was born. At the same time Liz always refers to him as "big brother", so she would have been younger than 17 when she gave birth to Jess? Even though the writers retconned some of the other Liz Lore established in 2x5 (like that she was married) I think it's generally accepted that she was around 18 when she gave birth and not quite as young as Lorelai was when she had Rory. This is what 80% of the fanfics about Jess’ early life that I used to read had seemed to share a consensus on anyway. So we discussed the possiblity that Liz and Luke may be very close in age, even less than a year apart so they ended up in the same grade, which is plausible, or less likely, they're twins, but I'm not sold on that. Lastly, it's possible she just calls him "big brother" merely because she's annoying and the drugs have fried her brain and she doesn't even know what day of the week it is no less how old her own brother is.

That's the best part about Gilmore Girls.

The bleach appears to have seeped into Lane's braincase and she's delirious. She's not making any sense. I'm afraid there is no saving her now.

I mean, this has always been Rory's typical expression whenever another person reminds her that she's supposed to be so freaking in love with Dean, but she's aware she's actually dating a pile of camel droppings while everyone else has their heads so far up their asses that they don't see it, but now she's got the JessSweats on top of it. She's in a real pickle.

What is the "feeling" of dating Dean Forrester exactly? Is it that feeling Rory has been experiencing for the last 2 years, the feeling that there's vomit stuck in the back of her throat that is always so close to spewing out but it never does? Is that what you want Lane?

This is one of the clearest views of the Quarter on a String I've seen thus far, and now that I can see it so clearly, it actually looks more like a dented bottle cap and not a quarter.

All this time I've been giving Dean Forrester credit for spending 25 cents on this thing when he actually paid nothing because he stole it from Lorelai's business competitor, the homeless man who scours The Hollow for scrap metal and change with a metal detector. I was thinking an after school business club at Stars Hollow High School where you had to listen to Lorelai Gilmore speak would be pretty sucky, but then I remembered the alternative is being not at school in Stars Hollow instead and that's worse.

Lorelai Gilmore everyone, the Prominent Local Luminary. Beautiful handwriting on the chalkboard, did Jess write that too?

Oh how I love 35 year old high school Extras. "You all know Luke Danes from his fabulous diner." Yeah, it's where these "high school students" hold their AARP meetings. Luke Danes seeing a room full of high school students: I've never seen any of you people in my god damn ife but if you want a job waiting tables at a place where nobody tips and I flout child labor laws and pay you in lettuce scraps then come on down and fill out an application. Also, my nephew could use some friends. Lorelai Gilmore, seeing a room full of high school students: Which one of you handsome boys want to become my daughter's stepdad?

Yes, I have a question for Ms. Gilmore. After Crusty got you pregnant the first time, why do you still keep letting him stick his CrustyWiener inside of you again and again? Take your time I'll wait. By the way, did you know that David Sutcliffe recently said women shouldn't have the right to vote? Just putting that little nugget out there. What was surely going to be a motivational speech for the ages by Some Lady Who Barely Works At Some Inn is totally derailed when the 50 year old students keep asking Lorelai how babies are made. Despite her best efforts to change the subject, she fails miserably but for some reason KarenDebbie is put out by Lorelai's handling of the affair. I'm not sure what Lorelai was supposed to do exactly.

Did you feel like the movies did Eowyn dirty compared to the books?

Hello 💝 & Thank you so much for this super interesting question!! I wanted to spend a few days thinking over this question before answering - hence the reply now (my apologies for the wait!)

Just as a wee disclaimer - These are just my opinions and everyone is absolutely allowed to disagree with me! There is no right or wrong answer, and I totally respect everyone's own views on this question/topic! The first thing I'd say is if you were to look at Eowyn purely from the movie perspective, she is fantastic. I watched the movies long before I read the books (took me a lot of courage to read the books - I'd heard they could be tough) but just from the movies Eowyn made such a strong impression on me, and I think most would agree on that point. Like all the women in Tolkien's work - she was self-defining and unshakable in her strength and courage. So often you see the heroines needing to 'prove themselves to OTHERS' but in Eowyn's case, its much more she needs to prove herself to HERSELF. The men around her do not doubt her strong heart, or her physical strength (even if its traditional for the men to fight and she is forced to stay behind). She is held in high regard amongst her people and doesn't need any sort of reassuring from those around her of what she is capable of - the only person who doubts her is HER. That whole thing of feeling like you need to prove something to be worthy in your own eyes hits home for me, and I'm guessing for others too. We all want to do something meaningful with our lives, and for Eowyn - she learns that meaning doesn't have to come from 'heroic' acts (even tho she frickin' SLAYS the Nazgul!). She instead comes to understand that meaning in life can be found all around you & should be defined on your own terms. I hope I'm making sense with that point!

Now addressing Book!Eowyn vs Movie!Eowyn - Book!Eowyn comes out stronger, in my opinion. Firstly, she takes no bullshit from anyone. You still get the whole 'She is a woman confined to the place a man puts her in' & her wanting to go to war to fight with the men but being told she can't because she is a woman. But for me, the movie really misses out on quite a few key points of Eowyn. Like when she shuts Aragorn down for being sexist. You gotta first remember that Book!Aragorn is totally different from Movie!Aragorn and honestly can be quite arrogant, thus when he tells her she can't come with him to fight he basically says its because she is a woman and as a woman its her duty to stay home and care for the sick etc. (I forget the exact words folks pls don't shoot me - my brain is fried). She calls him out on it - no hesitation, no worrying that she might upset this 'Heir of Gondor'. Nah, she straight up tells him how awful his opinions are and WHY they're awful. Aragorn is one of the good guys and she is showing up his terrible morals - demonstrating that 'heros' are not all perfect beings that we expect them to be!!

Secondly, HER SPEECH WAS BETTER IN THE BOOKS. Okay sure the 'I am no man' was badass and a fantastic line. But she has a WHOLE DANG SPEECH in the book which was just reduced to that line. I can't remember the speech which granted doesn't make my argument very good, but she declared WHO she was and showed NO FEAR in front of this Nazgul that terrified even great wizards like Gandalf! It always kind of annoyed me that in the movie after killing THE NAZGUL she is scrambling around on the ground with tears on her face clearly panicking. Yeah that's a normal reaction, but in the books she faced down that Nazgul without so much as a shudder and then that was it. I can't remember if Tolkien wrote what happened straight after (its a lil fuzzy) but she wasn't crawling around on the ground. Its like... why give her this big bold line and moment at all if 2 seconds later you're gonna have her reacting like that. It kinda contradicts the strength and courage she just displayed.

Lastly, FARAMIR & EOWYN'S RELATIONSHIP DID NOT GET THE JUSTICE IT DESERVED. Fun Fact: If you have only ever seen the theatrical LOTR - You don't even know that they two end up together. Its completely cut out. The only scene you see them in is right at the end just clapping for Aragorn. Thats it. In the book their love is so beautiful. Its this gently building love and affection that Eowyn has to slowly come around to - and Faramir is so respectful in giving her the space and time to process where she is at with her heart. Its very disappointing that we get so little of them together in the film.

I love the way Tolkien has written his female characters. So often I've found that the 'heroines' in stories are constrained in some way or another - eg. they're sidekicks, they do something cool once, they only have 1 layer of depth to their character, they're just there are the token 'female' fighter etc. With Tolkien, he gives Eowyn this huge story arc and builds up every side of her. She is self-defining in her own right and is not just a 'side-piece' to be fluttered over.

SO THATS MY THOUGHTS. Again, people are totally allowed to disagree with them all! & Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, I really did enjoy this question and wanted to make sure I'd thought over it for a bit before replying. Also, sidenote, I love your URL. Kaz is AMAZING. (I'm working on a 'The Crows' edit right now eheheee)

I hope you are doing well!! What are your thoughts?

#asks #thank you so much for this i really enjoyed answering it!!!!! #eowyn #bless you

I've decided to watch MacGyver from the beginning (again), and I'm live tweeting the experience with every tweet tagged with #savemacgyver. I thought it would be fun to share my collected thoughts from the episodes on here as well.

My Thoughts on S1E1, "The Rising"

Good old Lake Como.

"How do I look?" Always amazing, Mac, though here you are so bebby. Gosh, tiny Lucas is tiny.

Ugggh, Nikki. My least favorite story arc in the show. Even with her redemption arc, even her face makes me mad.

I am soooo glad this awkward flirting is only in this episode. Mac and Nikki have never vibed with me.

JACK DALTON

"Who loves ya, baby?" We all do, Jack.

I always wished they would have played more into the original Mac's reason for not carrying a weapon - not just so he doesn't get caught but because he doesn't like them. That was actually one reason I used to be so upset at the reboot when it first came out. I still feel like Mac's character was off for this first episode - a little too cocky, not super developed. But still lovable, and with so much potential!

It's so cool to see how much Lucas has grown into this character over the years, really making it his own while still holding on to its essence.

Lol "serious bad-assery" - Nikki thinks she's so cool. (Spoiler: she's not.)

Lololol Nikki is the Walmart brand of Riley.

Mac in glasses. Adorbs.

Man, I'm already so ready for Matty. Patti is the off brand version of her.

I always love watching Mac rifle through stuff to find his improvisation supplies!

First MacSplaining session! Electromagnets!

"Is this George Clooney's house?" I miss Jack so freaking much.

Mac kind of looks like a penguin with that waiter outfit on and I'm living for it.

The second Mac hack is so Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew.

"Why don't you ever flirt with me like that?" Um, Jack, do you want your partner's girlfriend flirting with you, daddy fixation or not?

There are two kinds of oops, accordng to Jack Dalton: Oops - I just stubbed my toe / Ooooooops - Zombie apocalypse initiated.

Mac's hair is so shaggy.

"START THE DAMN BOAT!" Classic.

"Hold this and get out of my way." Dang, Mac.

The bad guy is the dude from Galavant hahaha. I know this guy has been in so many things, but he will always be Gareth to me. (That's his name, right? Gareth?)

W H U M P

I actually love the consistency of Mac always having that scar even seasons into the series (except for the last time, in the river). Overall great attention to detail!

That is a LOT of blood in the water.

Lol I'm pretty sure Grandpa Harry didn't say that in so many words, Mac.

Poor traumatized bebby. What am I saying? I live for this stuff.

Awww, lil Bozer. So smol. So pure. And now I want waffles.

"Eat your waffles." Three words I will never say no to.

"Give me Wang." -Bozer, 2016

Am I the only one who finds these intimate scenes between Mac and Nikki hella awkward?

QUARANTINE, sounds familiar.

Lol "cyberteam." Once Riley Davis comes along, they will be obsolete.

Jack just wants a hug.

I always hated the clinical white room in the pilot. Can't wait for the War Room.

I love the interactions between Jack and Riley.

Mac and Riley EYE CONTACT.

"You two are on timeout from now on." 😂😂😂

THE MOMENT WHERE HE GRABS HER HANDS

Lol, thanks for telling me that's a paperclip. I was so confused.

"Riley has so much hair!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love how Riley takes charge. Her confidence is 🔥🔥🔥

"You know what, never mind, I'd be pissed at you too." 🤣

Jack's so proud of his daughter. 💕

"Is that real?" Bless Jack's heart. He's such an old man.

Patti is a square. Pretty, competent, but boring. I miss Matty.

"My man never jokes about tin foil."

Ooooo Nikki is alive. Poor Mac. His whole world keeps getting turned on its head.

Jack can be scary when he wants to be.

Poor, poor, Mac. When he faces Nikki, he looks like a kicked golden retriever. (Also, NEVER kick a dog.)

I'm just eating up all this angst.

Mr. Wizard lololol

Mac hanging from a plane is soooo iconic.

"Don't get cocky. You're the only other one here." Haha, the SASS on this girl.

"Go ahead, you aready had me killed once." Also, oof. Undercover or not, Nikki is cold. I can't stand her.

Excuse me, Patricia, but I would consider running over your neighbor's dog (or any dog) a damn catastrophe, too.

"Sometimes a purge is necessary to fix what's broken." Codex, anyone?

Love this whole chase/fight sequence so much. The music, action, everything... perfect.

The sweat on Mac's forehead when dangling out of the 🚁 - such a great detail!

"YOU GO KABOOM, I GO KABOOM"

Kind of weird to me that Mac seems to be using so much guesswork with this bomb, especially when we know that he's one of the best specialists out there.

That fight scene in the back of the vehicle is one of my all time favorites. The whump is excellent.

Okay, but when does MacGyver ever do anything the way Jack has in mind?

DIY or die. Still so lame, lol. The parachute is awesome, though.

Oof. That landing looks painful and the whumper in me loves it. Even more, I can't get over how worried Jack is as he rushes to Mac's side. ❤️❤️❤️

That break in his voice when he asks if Mac's okay is just... AYSKTUFYIFUYliIIGUOG

Mac burning Nikki's pics like that old Taylor Swift song.

Bozer calling Jack his bestie is so weird and funny to me.

I am so ready for Bozer to get over Riley. They are so much better as friends.

Lol "Those fries won't cook themselves." The crack of a whip, man.

Jack calling Riley a little rascal and then gently asking Mac if he's doing all right there, pal ... taking care of his kids, and I am DYING.

The Three Amigos... come on, Jack. You can do better than that.

Is it bad that I'm actually a little surprised that Jack knows what a Phoenix is? Just seems like something he wouldn't care to learn, especially since he's a sci fi junkie but I never really hear him talk about fantasy.

Oooooooo Nikki's on the loose. Gotta end with suspense, to hook those viewers and make them want more. Well, I want more of this show, but not because of her.

Well, awesome re-watch of episode 1. Definitely not my favorite by a long shot, but so iconic and with some amazing moments! It just makes me that much more excited to get to see the show and the characters grow!

If anyone wants to join me in my re-watching and tweeting adventure, please do! It's my way to take about an hour a day in my busy, busy life to commit to the #savemacgyver movement. (And to enjoy my favorite show yet again!) If you do tweet as you watch, make sure to tag EVERY tweet with ONLY #savemacgyver so we can keep that hashtag trending! :)

Thanks for letting me share my (numerous) thoughts on this episode. This was really fun, and I hope it's something you all enjoy, too. I'll probably go ahead and post episode 2 tonight since I just watched it. I'd love to know what you all think of the episode in the comments! ❤️
