hob's casual avoidance of pronouns when he's explaining he was stood up by someone because they got into a fight, and the bartender making sure to call them friends when anyone else would have assumed it was a couple, is like...SO ambiently 80s gay, that it's fucking textbook

little kids love spooky mascots like bendy and Freddy but I notice they interpret the characters as totally benevolent basically and I think they deserve good quality media that plays into that, a horrifying but objectively heroic protagonist earnestly made for really young audiences. Yeah they got venom but that's still aimed at teens to adult nerds. I guess there's probably no media company right now with the guts to openly market a slavering fanged ghoul as a friendly children's hero but it is literally what they're clamoring for.

I dunno it just feels shiftier how all these newer mascot horror games are only kind of "implicitly" for kids, like they're still made with adult sensibilities and content kids might not be all that prepared to handle yet on the down-low they're hoping to get kids buying merch. Feels off. If you want the baby market then do it unironically and honestly.

There should be like an unironically scary character like you'd expect aesthetically to be the main threat of an adult horror franchise but it just protects kids from harm AND its associated media should be entirely G-rated other than the monster design itself. Make it like a skeleton bat clown with anglerfish teeth or a big black hairy centipede with a bunch of broken baby doll heads but it only hurts mean people and only adults. Or you know there isn't even any violence but it scares away bullies and then it helps the kids find their cat or make a sandcastle or whatever. The writing should not be like it's also for adults. It should be like the level of Bluey or Octonauts, like high quality but intellectually accessible to a three year old. And like the monster lurks anywhere dark like under beds and stuff. Yes there are children who would still be scared of it anyway but there were always children who got scared of big bird or the teletubbies, you know??? I bet other kids would get it and they'd get to feel like the scariest fucker they ever saw is inherently on their side.

So a creche in ecology is a group of animals that take care of their offspring as a group. Grouping together like this can help with protection against predators, finding food, enduring the weather, and gives the parents time to "rest", as sometimes the parents will alternate who's being the primary watchers while others get to hunt by themselves for a bit, like a baby animal daycare.

But ye lions do this once cubs each a certain age. A decent amount of birds do it (for example: flamingos and a lot of penguin, duck, and goose species). Gharials (a type of South Asian crocodilian) form creches with hundreds of babies from multiple nests (they lay under 100 eggs each and sometimes as few as 20). Feral hogs tend to form groups of mothers and young like this, and I saw 3 sows and like 15+ tiny babies the other day and they were so cute

But ye that's how you get pictures like these
