Please don’t tell I’m the only one that actually wonders how the hell Snufkin got his hat back at the end of episode 3 of Moominvalley (that should have been a whole episode itself) 😂😭
it’s already almost taz day and i can’t wait to hear all my friends, including ned chicane, who is not dead and just took a nap
Mordred: Merlin? Arthur? What happens when you die?
Arthur, dragging Merlin away to talk privately: What do we do? What do we tell him?
Merlin: I don't get paid enough for this.
Arthur: What do we TELL him?? The big farm in the sky? The pearly gates?!
Merlin: Look, we just need to be honest. Let's explain very gently that there probably is no afterlife, and no god, but if there IS, we're all going to hell.
Arthur, nodding: Right. Yeah. Okay.
[Arthur turns back to Mordred]
Arthur: Have you ever been on a farm?

So Arizona launched an “education hotline” that allows “concerned parents” to report “””critical race theory””” and other things like ~gender identity~ being taught in the classroom
