“Why is glitch making a new show instead of murder drones season 2?!?!”

Because murder drones finished. It ended where the creator wanted it to stop. Regardless of if that’s what they always intended it’s what they chose in the end.

I thought that was the point of indie animation? To give creatives complete control over their stories?

Creatives getting to choose how long they want to tell their story for doesn’t always translate to “six seasons and a movie”

It can mean just one short season. Hell it could mean just one episode!

And it can mean before you as a viewer are ready to let the world and characters go.

Supporting creators also means letting them move on from their creation you personally prefer to other projects.

Forcing them to stretch out their stories is just as bad as cutting them short. Both damages the experience.

In a truck stop bathroom washing my hands today and 2 boys, looked about 5 and 9, came in with their little sister who looked maybe 2. The following whispered conversation made my entire day

"We have to wait, there's a lady in here!"

"That's not a lady, he has a mustache! We can be in here!"

"Some ladies have mustaches! And she has boobs!"

"Well some guys have boobs! Like Uncle Jake!"

"Uncle Jake is fat!"

At this point I could not contain a chuckle and both whirled around with identical looks of panic on their faces. I smiled and said "it's alright for you guys to be in here so your sister has help, don't worry. And I'm both! That's why I have boobs and a mustache. Some folks are just built that way"

(In unison) "Ooooooh!"

(older boy) "So do you use Sir or Ma'am or both?"

"Both, but I prefer Sir"

"Cool! Well thanks Sir! We have to help our sister now!"

This was in a small town country truck stop and both boys had "Murica" type stuff on and neither of them had any issue at all with these concepts. Their mom approached me while I was in line about 10 minutes later and apologized for them bothering me in the bathroom (they had told her about the interaction) and she and I had a lovely little chat too. I got to introduce her to the term "intersex" and her reply was "I think I've heard of that before! I didn't know that was the word for it. Amazing how many different ways God can make people!"

Sometimes the world is good. More often than you might think, if you give it a chance. It's not all bad loves <3

Funniest possible responses to being barked at in public for gearing:

"Hell yeah brother!" *bark back*

"NO. BAD DOG. We do NOT bark indoors."

"ONE OF US. ONE OF US." (works best as a group)

"I can tell you where I bought the [tail] if you're interested."

"Aww, does Puppy want attention?"

" 2/10. You need to work on your accent."

"Can I pet your dog?"

"Thanks! You're pretty cool too!"
