Sometimes it feels like the entire system is actively working against me and I just wanna stand on a table and scream before running off into the woods and becoming a feral goblin, never to be seen by society again

In science today we had a project where we read dna to find the traits of an alien name an snork. I was just excited to see snork on our board but then my dna was only one trait off of being snork! It was skinny instead of plump
Today's a good day to appreciate all creatures, not just the cute ones
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?

I got tired of having to jump around and do a treasure hunt just to watch Monster High media, so I made a document of the original volumes (1-6), as well as uploaded the entirety of the webisodes, TV specials, and movies to a drive. I'm sharing it here in case anyone ever has trouble finding anything- it's all here. :)
Druids: Our High Lord Emrys is truly incredible. Unfathomable. His innate and instinctive magic shows an intelligence no sorcerer could ever equal.
Merlin, burning his tongue on his tea: oops too hot for this thot

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) 😂😭
