Listen… I always liked the new professor puppet, but there was something “youre not my dad” about him last season. I dont know what changed (maybe I reached the acceptance stage of grief), but now season 7 he’s actually the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.

Look at this fuckin guy sitting there

Petition to get Ryan Reynolds to play Paul Blofis in the PJO tv show. Sally Jackson deserves an exceptionally hot husband, and Ryan and Walker have such great chemistry in The Adam Project that I just want to watch them work together again. Ryan Reynolds was made to play the clueless but loving and well-meaning stepfather, and tbh if this show gets popular enough I feel like he'd be into it.
