the minecraft post about my dad is genuinely the best post i've ever had take off bc now ~50k people know my late father as things like "adorable" and "hilarious" and "protects kids and arachnophobes" and honestly i could not ask for a better summary. of course he was a lot of things but by far, definitely, those are literally some of the things i loved most about him.
he was NEVER mean to me about my arachnophobia, from my childhood all the way to my teens and 20s when we both realized it wasn't gonna 'go away'. no matter how tiny the spider was or how busy he was when i asked for help, he always got up and dealt with it for me.
i'm so glad those things get to shine on in a silly post i made about an old story. :')
