(no spoilers technically. we all know 2.4 is gonna be scary and this applies to the whole show)
ive never felt more maternal toward a fandom. i think upp is my first fandom that ive really really hyperfixated on since i turned 20 that centers around teenagers. like this is a completely new feeling to me, feeling protective and caring and maternal toward these kids. i spend 90% of my time talking about it/watching it/thinking about it just. theyre KIDS
theyre just fucking KIDS man. worse, theyre MY kids. those are my kids and theyre going through all of this bro its SO UPSETTING. when youre a teenager watching teenagers go through this you dont think like that, you dont think theyre just kids because theyre your age. but theyre just fucking kids bro
