    Thanks to June's Journey for sponsoring this video!
    HALLLOOOO it is time, my friends, to add another teeny tiny creature to my growing collection. laughs in Smaug
    I recently was super inspired to make something in tribute to one of my childhood favorites (and nightmare fuel): Return to Oz. That, combined with my urge to make something Autumn-y (Happy Halfway to Halloween!), led to me making my own little Jack Pumpkinhead doll!
    I hope you enjoy this little cozy craft while I finished up everything I need for my England trip and I LOVE YOU ALL!

      unrequested opinion alert (it's positive, though, I promise):
      I usually ignore game sponsors bc I'm not normally a mobile game person. I am, however, a SUCKER for hidden objects games so I decided to give June's Journey a try some months ago after hearing you talk about it and OH BOY did I love it. It's so fun and beautiful and well-made and, unlike other hidden objects games I've found in the past, has so much available content (I've been playing for months now and am only on scene 348; there are over 1500 scenes. absolutely insane). Thoroughly recommend it if anyone's on the fence about downloading it.

      it's too weird to me that June is that perky, her sister having just been murdered. As someone who has experienced that exact thing, seems odd. Has time passed or has it just occurred and she's decorating and such? I haven't played it. Did she hate her sister?

    "Return to Oz" haunted me for years. Every now and then, I'd remember Dorothy in that room full of heads and I could remember it was from a movie I'd watched once as a kid, but couldn't remember which one. The most terrifying thing was that no one in my family could remember anything like it and for years I thought that maybe, just maybe, I'd dreamt it. The one day, behold! I was telling a friend about it and she casually threw in, "Oh, that's 'Return to Oz.'" I felt so relieved that I was not crazy!

    Labyrinth is for sure the movie I look back on and go "oh, that explains EVERYTHING", but an honourable mention also goes out to Quest for Camelot (or "the Magic Sword"). I was absolutely terrified of the Helping Hands ("She chose DOWWWWWN!"), not to mention Ruber as whole, but they did inspire my love of myth, legends, and fairy tales - and are probably the reason my sarcasm is through the roof too, if I'm honest here.

    Legend was a huge movie for me as a kid and I watched it as an adult and was kinda horrified. It's so dark. I asked my mom how she let me watch that and she's like oh you just thought all the little creatures were funny and you loved the dancing dress. The dancing scene and Tim Curry as the devil were very formative of my inner goth and love of dark things.

Rudolf runs away, mom wants to help dad find him and he says "NO, this is MANS WORK". We will never stop finding that hilarious!!!! Finally, more than movies, the oldies music I grew up with, from the 40's and 50's, doesn't age well. Key examples are "Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by" which says that men can't go to jail for what they are thinking...and the song from The Mills Brothers called "Paper Doll" about a man who wants to buy a paper doll because allb the "real dollies" flirt and cheat on him.
