Another of Wednesday Addams's best lines: "I act as if I don't care if people dislike me. Deep down...I secretly enjoy it." Her favorite words? "Pathetic." "Hate." "Kill." "Dislike." "Darkness." And somehow, she makes them feel like poetry.

🐭💔 We didn’t take over the world. We didn’t even make it to Chapter 6. But I did deepen a romantic arc, spill coffee on my notes, and rewatch cartoons for “research.” Technically… progress. 📺 90s nostalgia: Pinky and the Brain

Once upon a time, TV gave us On Golden Pond. And even the commercials had heart. Folgers told better stories in half a minute than streaming does in a season. “The best part of wakin’ up is Folgers in your cup.”
