also it's just quirky kids media but I still respect how the jams from zombies 3 are all lowkey like "a lot of life is about judgment and disappointment and you shouldn't let that stop you from doing your best and trying anyway"
just like "EVERYTHING IS 30 SECONDS FROM FALLING APART YOU KNOW THAT RIGHT" and it's like "I hope you don't plan on keeping me awake with this weak bullshit, brain"
oh wait maybe that's it. I dropped off some extra bread at my mom's job yesterday and she did that thing where she paraded me around to everyone and it was a lot of attention and a reminder of Expectations
hahaha last summer there was a weekend where I was left alone with a challenging puzzle and I was like "welp this is going to be the next 16 hours of my life" and shikki was like ".......why tho"
and I was like "because it has to be done before I see my family again" and had this moment of clarity like "oh lol it's actually a lot of stress keeping up with being the effortlessly brilliant one"
