Sebek is the one who brags about his mom's cool teeth! that's from his first birthday card, where he spends twenty minutes going on about "my mom is the COOLEST, she's super good at magic, the only thing that matches the force of her personality is the force of her BITE! bite force is the signature power of our faerie clan, you see. anyway she's amazing, a constant source of inspiration to me, and--"
"okay, cool, what about your dad?"
"..."
"tell me about your dad, Sebek."
"...he's a dentist..."
the twins have their own birthday card moment though where they're like, "oh yeah, our parents are the heads of the Eldritch Deepsea Mafia" before immediately changing the subject to Floyd's shoes, and as far as I know this never comes up or is mentioned anywhere ever again.
Season two just came out, so obviously no spoilers, but oh my lord I can't recommend this show ENOUGH
The protagonists are absolutely amazing.
Barney Guttman, a fat, gay, Jewish trans man, and Normah Khaan, South Asian, Autistic, Bi girl. Also Barney's magic talking pug voiced by Alex Brightman (aka, Beetlejuice), working at a haunted theme park with a demon named Courtney. There's also a delightful cast of side characters
The representation is, imo, incredibly well handled (though I can't comment on what parts don't apply to me), with important topics dispersed among wacky demon hijinks, often at the same time!
I can't say much more without spoiling it, but I absolutely cannot reccomend this show enough. If you've been looking for something new to watch, give this a whirl!
Btw genloss is great. I rewatched it all in its entirety, cried, threw up, and had a general emotional rollercoaster!! Please give this series the love and attention it deserves and give it a watch!!
watched the first episode of Hannibal (checks watch) ten years late and dang this is indeed a good show and i very much hope i can keep watching and won't get squicked out and start making myself paranoid.
i don’t know why i’m having such a catra hyperfixation but that lesbian is definitely scrambling around in my mind. if y’all want to send her memes, that would be cool, otherwise @tornsurvivors is about to renew my love for the beth/jennifer ship.
we cry "the innocent women and children" to appeal to the masses, to try and force their sympathy, but the men and boys are innocent too.
I have seen sons crying out for their mothers, their fathers, their siblings. I have seen them break down at the loss of their families. I have seen them cling to their dead and grieve.
I have seen fathers cradle their dead children, seen them kiss their faces and hold their little hands. I have seen them faint with grief when asked to identify the dead. I have seen them carry their sons and daughters. I have seen them fasting to provide what little they can for their families.
I have seen men and boys digging through the rubble with just their bare hands, I have seen them comforting strangers, playing with children, rocking them, hushing them, even if the face of such imminent danger. I have seen them cry, seen them grieve, seen them break down into each other's arms, seen them be selfless, beyond selfless, becoming something I don't have a word for.
I have seen the men who are doctors refuse to leave their patients, even when they have no medicine or supplies to give them, even when they're threatened with bombings. I have seen fathers who have lost all their children pick orphans up into their arms and proclaim them their child so they are not alone. I have seen men and boys digging pets out of the rubble.
the men are innocent too. the men and boys are being hurt and killed too. the men and boys are grieving too. the men and boys are scared too. the men and boys are fighting to save their people too. the men and boys deserve to be fought for too.
