Run fast for your children, for your sisters and brothers

Maybe some day I will stop giving basically every protagonist ever some variety of crippling anxiety. ...but it's definitely not going to happen on this story.

Plus, you know, I don't think I have a single friend who's not mentally ill in one way or another, so whatever. So what if all my characters reflect that? Like with queer characters, at a certain point I just... yeah, straight people exist in the world. So do neurotypical people. And someone else can go write stories about them, because I don't care.

(This post brought to you by a lot of second-guessing myself, because wow, Birdie, that is the third main character in a row with anxiety maybe reel it in a little there. BUT NOPE I REFUSE.)

Yeah, screw that. There need to be more protagonists with well-done anxiety problems. Give it to them all.

(On a semirelated note every time you mention FSMG I just get Fairies Stole My Keys stuck in my head. Even though it has nothing to do with anything.)

It is a really ridiculous, bouncy little song about fairies stealing your keys. I love it.

I finally actually listened to this, and it is super cute.

...and also my life.
