“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.”
— Emmi Itäranta. Kuunpäivän kirjeet
“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.”

Tbh, as much as I’d love for Fearne to have a pet dragon to ride into battle with Gloamgut, I feel it’s much more satisfying for her to let him go, especially after Zathuda’s whole spiel of “its in your nature as a fey to take what you want etc etc” and knowing that really the only way to bond with Gloamgut would be essentially forcing him via a blood ritual or taking the unlikely chance that he decides to stay of his own volition by letting him free.
The Zathuda method would have Fearne risk the blood ritual, and honestly an early campaign Fearne would probably jump at the chance to do just that!
But having her choose to let Gloamgut free and not expect him to stay for longer than a night really speaks to Fearne’s character growth and to how much of a self perpetuating lie born out of an environment and culture that accepts it the whole “fey take what they want, its their nature” thing is, it’s not their nature, they may have been raised to be like this but they can choose!

i'm so glad they brought back tommy for buck. they could've brought back eli. they could've brought back the openly gay firefighter. they could've introduced someone new. but instead they brought back tommy: the guy who was stuck in the old boys' club, as well as figuring himself out around the same age as buck. the guy who wasn't warm or welcoming to chim or hen when they first arrived but who clearly struggled with doing so, and then who came to appreciate them and have their backs and enjoy their friendship. the guy who was there to see how bobby made a real difference to the 118, made it like a family before he left. the guy who was there for bobby's introduction of 'family dinners'. the guy who left the 118 so that buck could take his place there. the guy with the tk initials. the guy who shares a name with 2 other poignant tommys in the narrative for buck. the guy who chim called not once but twice for help and he answered. the guy who was saved by chimney and who will (hopefully) get to return the favour. the guy who made such pivitol personal growth in his time at the 118 thanks to chim and hen and bobby. they brought back the guy who proves that it's never too late to change, to grow, to be open and soft and caring. that it's never too late to learn about yourself, to figure out who you are as well as the person you want to be. that it's never too late to become a better version of yourself.

I ended inadvertently wearing the same top in my past two recent fitness update clips and um. It really highlights just how I've gained in a years time 😳💚
Both clips are available on all of my sites, you can find out where in my pinned post :3

“Sir… sir! The cleansing chalk bath pods are single occupancy only, you’ll have to wash your weird alien pet elsewhere!”
I like to think that once they find a liquid that won’t burn Zim’s skin off, bath-time is very relaxing for them.
