You take that back!

I got Pokemon Yellow when it first came out. My brothers got Blue and Red and I didn't want to have the same thing. It was a lot of fun back then getting started with Pokemon and not knowing what you're supposed to do. Don't get me wrong, it's great fun now, but it's the same thing as playing Minecraft for the first time, there's nothing better than learning a game.

Dude, no. Jim Henson was the coolest guy ever.

Yeah nobody puts Jim Henson in da corner!! But Barney makes me cringe.

Barney's got nothin' on Jim's creatures.

But the artist/student clips from Sesame Street were kind of dark and freaky sometimes, like seriously

Honestly my childhood was really awful, my best memories revolve around reading, that's why I took the middle name Matilda because that really was me. That's the only way I survived tbh

feeling you there; emotional abuse from several people throughout my life but I managed to avoid physical abuse for a long time.

unfortunately some of us weren't quite that lucky.

music, books, notebooks, movies, any sort of escape is an absolute godsend.

Once I got too big to spank my mom started using emotional and psychological torture, much of which involved public humiliation. That's when everything got much worse.

often times that's a lot worse than bruises on the outside. at least those heal.

at what age were you too big that you stopped spankin her??/

Haha. That's how I read it too.

Muppets give me the creeps. They're not quite alive enough for me to buy but they're not fake enough for me to dismiss them, so they end up coming off as some kind of hideous, unnatural freaks that secretly want to harm me.

but I bet you love Chucky though and all other creepy dolls that talk but muppets.....nooo way

Never seen a Chucky movie. But I imagine that he would freak me out.

some of the Muppets were kind of spooky looking (seriously, what were they thinking when they designed these things?) but I think they're pretty adorable.

Blech. The Swedish Chef pretty much single-handedly ruined Muppets for me for all time. He's the devil. He's even made me vaguely afraid of caricatures of chefs. My mother has a hideous statue-thing of a pig-chef that I want to smash with a hammer.

My best memories are from times when I was twelve or so. It was so careless time. Grades from first grade to fourth grade were sad and I was even a little bit depressed. They bullied me everyday at school and I did not have that much friends.
Gladly, I befriended with my best friend when I was on 5th grade and those moments I spent with him are my best memories. It was before I became a teen and got very depressed.
Fortunately,now it is mostly all over. Not to say that I'm very old even now, but I guess I'm not depressed anymore. I can tell you, it was awful.
Anyway, I have many more memories but they are all situations I were alone and I was writing or drawing or singing or something like that.

I was more creeped out by the Muppets that were most unlike humans.

this would have sent me screaming out of the room at age 3, but it's so hilarious. Kids are weird, man.

↑ loved that

I could watch those classic clips for ages.

Oh, speaking of which.

I found a plush of Red Fraggle at work a few days ago. So many feels, man.



edit: I also want to add that many weeks ago, a giant sheepdog plush passed through the store (it's a thrift store) and it reminded me of this guy from Labyrinth, but I named it Martha (like Paul McCartney's dog) knowing full well that nobody would know what I was talking about either way. Long story short, someone bought Martha.

I still have my Fraggle Rock Plush from when I was a kid.

Ki had no idea what I was talking about when I told him I actually found a goddamn Fraggle. I was sad, man.

I had a ton of Muppet plushies when I was a kid; they're long gone.

So ummm did you buy it and now own one?

I was tempted, but nah.

My absolutely no-doubt-about-it favorite Muppet

Beaker's rendition of "Feelings" kills me every time, oh my god. Hilarious.
