    I love how Emily doesn't know the name of a plant that's literally called the Snake Plant, and even adds a subtitle about knowing about reptiles, not plants. I just love the irony of the statement.

It was already SO exciting to make something for the Zoo. (And by the way, Emily is 100% every bit as kind and thoughtful individually as she is on her channel!) Thanks again guys!

And who are you to make the rules based on male lions when you aren’t even gay?? I know someone who is gay, and I can guarantee you he does not suck off his partner every night. Do straight women suck off their husbands every night?? No. What’s the difference with gay people?

    Please wear gloves and don’t touch epoxy! It’s very bad for you! D: Love you guys, worried about ya’lls health. ❤️

      Thank you. Every time I saw Emily touching it I thought "don't touch epoxy resin!" And then I thought about Evan and Katelyn and their futuristic respirators and I wanted to yell "also wear a mask and gloves!"

      I was looking for this comment. I had to scroll down way too far for this one...
      I really hope they see this.
      I don't work with resin but I've seen enough videos to know not to touch it if I ever should and to wear a mask!

      I was cringing when they did that. I was like “oh no you need gloves and masks!” I love them, but oh that one hurt.

      There is some brands of resin that are non toxic actually! Not recommend to touch of course but it won't hurt 😁

      Yes even if it isnt super toxic it’s important to wear gloves and masks, in case you get an allergic reaction!

    The best thing about this community is that even though there was a gay proposal no one was acting like it’s different we where all acting like it’s casual now that’s a good thing to have

      You're the only one who mentioned it being a gay proposal. 🤔

      @@x_nekomew_x I can’t speak for the OP of this comment, but as a queer person myself, pointing out that it was a queer proposal is an important part of the discussion about inclusivity and equality. Of course the theory of “it shouldn’t matter if they’re gay or not” is nice, the reality is, a lot of queer people still aren’t in a situation where we can experience that safety and happiness for ourselves. So it’s important for us to see queer happiness and love, especially surrounded by straight allies. It’s very touching and reaffirming and hopeful for me, personally. :)
