The people in front of you at the post office are always the most insane creatures you didn’t know god could make whose one goal is to waste away the day. The people behind you at the post office are desperately trying to feel the warmth of human touch via your back

Well, you know what they say; Rome was built in a day, and if you're going any slower than that, you're basically fucked with no hope at all

The beauty of tumblr is that some people here think that cigarettes get you high and drinking once a week makes you an alcoholic, while others here started smoking at 13 and wouldn't even consider ketamine a drug because everyone does it. And both of them are on tumblr blogging about TV shows from 2005.

Every family has a different way of calibrating their parenting and decisions around media. Our neighbors who are horror fans (and named their kids after protagonists) have a whole programme of horror media they’re working through academically with their 5 and 8 year old, while we wouldn’t do that. But our 5 and 8 year old have watched LotR with us. But some neighbours still have their 8-year-old on “children’s media only and no video games”. And plenty of people at school let their kids watch superhero franchise media (I find this shocking and vulgar, far more damaging than historical 90s sword-based television.) everyone probably judges each other slightly, and all of the kids seem to be growing up pretty much the same and basically fine - as loved kids pretty much always do.

However, Dr Glass asked if I had an opinion on Buffy. Growing up fairly TV-free myself, I never really watched it and don’t care especially about it. I know the characters and found some bits satisfactory (and was personally quite into Anthony Stewart Head, as part of my lifelong good taste) but wouldn’t change the channel to watch it. But Dr Glass, having chatted to the horror fan neighbours, asked if I thought we ought to be doing similarly with Buffy?

I said absolutely not. I said Jurassic Park would be fine, though.

He said but Jurassic Park is visceral and realistic, while Buffy was practically CBeebies.

I said Jurassic Park is necessary education and good for the soul, and I saw it when I was 8 and found it exciting, and it lit my imagination on fire. Whereas Buffy, while not being particularly high-quality, did give me actual nightmare fuel, in terms of being “disturbing” rather than just blood-splashy.

Dr Glass said what did I mean - it was on at 6 pm - it was a kids’ show.

I said it might’ve been, but that our kids seem to be mapping along the same lines as myself or worse - Bug, 5, upon watching the mumakil smash through the Rohirrim, squealed with delight and said they’d never loved anything more - and were fine with splashy historic violence, but “teachers are secretly monsters” content would mean children climbing into bed with parents at 3 am.

Long story shortened, it TURNS OUT Buffy the Vampire Slayer had a censored British version that played in the evening on UK television, for children and teens, and the American/uncut version aired as late-night adult material.

Which we discovered, when Dr Glass shrieked “what do you mean they ate the principal”
