I have a 10-month-old daughter who has somehow just been happy 99% of the time ever since she was born (def not my genes), and a very kind 92-year-old grandmother who has lived alone for around 50 years, and watching them interact is the best ^^ my daughter goes around the apartment finding things to bite and messing with the radio and grandma encourages her and goes on and on about "oh look she smiled so nicely again" and "ooh she almost said a word!" I don't even need to do anything special, I'm just the chauffeur who brings snacks, and they're both so happy, it's the sweetest :))

    Rachel's outfit when she was painting was totally giving me "Museum Curator Mom" vibes. Like I can totally imagine an overworked museum curator running to pick up her kids from school on a chilly autumn afternoon and then bringing them back to the museum so she can finish her work and the kids just enjoy the museum, soaking in all the history. (Her dad is obviously the whiskey grandpa)

    Just a safety note: epoxy is chock full of isocyanates which are really bad for your lungs and skin. Please use gloves and work in a well ventilated area or better yet use a respitory mask. There's no definite limit of exposure before you develop a lifelong sensitivity/allergy, meaning some people have reactions from just a few uses of epoxy 😬

    • @rivertemart
      @rivertemart 3 года назад +28

    “What movies scenes traumatized you as a child?”
    It was E.T for me. The scene where he appears and the little sister screams and E.T screams and everyone screams was so terrifying in my mind that every time they played the movie at home I would run to hide behind the sofa so I could avoid that scene :') And two decades later I still can't watch the damn movie from start to finish in one sit.
    The other "finalist" scene that traumatied my ass was in Labyrinth, when the garbage woman tries to make Sarah stay in the garbage piles and when she is falling through the hands tunnel,; the movie is one of my favourites, but those two scenes still haunt me in my dreams.
    The purse: So cool!

    I had trouble falling asleep for a long time after accidentally seeing a scene from a British TV show "The Invisible Man" where he turns all white after dying (I think). My mom was ironing a blouse for me because I had to go to a friend's birthday (I was eight, I think), and I saw the scene while waiting for the blouse. Tha party distracted me, but when I came home and had a chance to think about what I had seen I was horrified for a long time - until my dad once asked why I was so troubled by nightmares and upon finding out he deduced it was the "Invisible Man" by Wells and gave me the book to read. For some weird reason that stopped the nightmares and fears immediately, since I knew that books weren't real (but apparantly perceived every TV show as a documentary).

    - Any scene from Quest for Camelot where Ruber is in frame and his eye twitches, he still gives me the heebie-jeebies.
    - The entirety of the environmental destruction in "FernGully" and "Once Upon a Forest", especially the second one which still makes me cry every damn time.

Huge machete whipped off the top of a live monkey sitting on the counter and they poured boiling oil straight over the intact brain and immediately served it to the customer who was just sitting there watching the whole process.
      And why did I sit there and watch?
      Because I had no idea what was going to happen and it was so fast my mind took longer to process and to react to what I had witnessed.

    Every apocalyptical, War of the Worlds-esque, or natural disaster movie I ever saw the trailer for

    What movie scenes traumatized me as a child you ask? Why, my dear, the ENTIRE original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. You see, the parentals raised me on a healthy diet of Monty Python and British sitcoms. Sarcasm was a second language before I entered school. Young Meg *knew* Gene Wilder did not give one, singular Flying Flamingo about those horrid children. Honestly, that whole movie is a fever dream fueled by peyote and has no place being shown to youths.
