My daughter’s new pet is half deer, half fox.
They tumble over each other, racing through the valley,
their rhythm imperfect, she is human after all.
Half human, half something I can’t quite recall,
I don’t know him well, his fur is soft and smooth.
Little antlers, tiny twigs on his brow.
Hoofs like black pinpricks, needles through fabric.
At night he howls at nothing, he doesn’t quite know why.
His fur is soft and smooth ,
morning snow, untrampled, unbothered.
Black spots speckled by the bane of his tail,
an old scar from something he can’t quite recall.
I don’t know him very well.
He runs an endless trail past the river with my daughter,
in two step tandem, they’ve learned to act as one.
Half human, half deerfox, half nothing at all.
He looks at me, sometimes, with ink black misty eyes.
He licks my hand, leans his head on my palm,
as if the weight of the world is held
by the little twigs on his brow.
I am so far away from home, he says.
I will never see my mother again.
She is so far away, I am here.
I am all that there is, , anywhere, of me.
You understand me, he says.
We’re the same, brothers.
Half deer, half fox.
Half human, half something you can’t quite recall.
We walk in two step tandem,
Two parallel lines that touch without knowing.
We have never met.
We have known each other our whole lives.
We’re the same, like brothers, he says.
You understand , he says,
and I don’t know why
but I do.
I can’t recall.
The ' something I’m missing.
The bridge between me,
and all that there is.
I am all I can’t recall.
I am the tear left unstitched.
Half human,
half nothing, nothing at all.

The thing about Johanna is that she isn't a perfect mother, and she doesn't try to be a perfect mother, but she Chooses Hilda every time, in every instance, and she never once lets her fears or her traumas get in the way of that, and sometimes that's all a kid needs to know they're loved

gerdaisanna thought: imagine kaisa going to tildy (and if it gets desperate, the committee of three) for dating advice. and gerda might try to ask erik on dating advice, and then just do the opposite of what he recommends. both might try to get info from hilda herself on what johanna likes but also try to keep the whole "dating your mum" thing under wraps so they can tell her about it when the poly relationship has developed a bit more.
Okay, sorry, but Kaisa and Gerda respectively asking the committee and Erick for advice is so fucking funny to me, I can only focus on this. Imagine being so desperate for help you go to your awful boss. Johanna keeps being flirted with in these awful and sometimes downright disrespectful way and she goes “???? What’s happening????” and it’s a long and confusing couple of weeks until she inevitably understands 💀💀

Why the hell did this show get so intense? Stealing that creature design for DnD. Hilda’s mum is hardcore.

Watched the first ep of the new Hilda season with my bf- as a treat- and I have so many thoughts 👁️👁️
spoilers under the cut for the 1st ep
First off, I truly wonder how much of a challenge the Pooka was to design for the animators :'D just trying to get all of his shapes right- to keep it consistent, yet still, always, looking like him...
Second, theres something wonky going on with Johanna and Astrid 🤔 the note at the end about Johanna forgetting- and Astrid's awfully convenient little distraction... Somethings up 👁️👁️
