I think Thistle is the age of teenagerhood where it is not cool to like disney

anime? Yes

She JUST discovered Cowboy Bebop - the original

Mom is observant and got her a soundtrack CD... um... are CD's still a think? Er.

Bought her the music on itunes?

Or Spotify! That's what the kids like!

Thistle is an Android user I bet. 😄

Janice has an iPhone

ha!

yes, to all of this

Frankie is a good excuse for a teenager to see disney

Spoiler - Frankie will see Antonio, a kid with a riot of natural hair and darker skin and go WIDE EYED.

"HE LOOKS LIKE ME"

awwwwwww

Kid's adorable

tbh I stole the idea from a kid who DID have that moment 😉

I DID find Frankie though, in a child model! 😄

"TREEEEE-NAAAAAAAAAAAAA" Lovingly exasperated

Frankie-stein

(Sometimes I think I like looking up source images almost as much as playing....)

I love him

Lin deserves a LITTLE bit of win. So we'll treat the lesson like Root beer

It's insidious!

"Gladiola, the Glennies are at it again!" "On it!" Piles up terriers

no face, but...

aesthetic

I knew that there was something about her that Art liked!

art kid gonna art kid

ha!

bright colors, thrift pieces, funky proportions

Diane: "Just... promise me you won't pierce or tattoo your face?"

hee

she probably REALLY wants either a nose or eyebrow piercing

tattoos, however, seem too permanent

Mom would relent if it was small and classy

she might have a magnetic nose stud!

Like, no giant nose ring. "I just don't want you to look like a bull, sweety."

she can't keep a hair color for a month.. ink for LIFE?

"Mo-om, it's an AESTHETIC" 🐂

(I admit to a bias, I really dislike the ring between the nostrils. Little side piecing, fine! But... IT WILL GET ALL BOOGEY Y)

gauges freak me out

"An aesthetic you may regret when your classmates call you Ferdinand!"

Gwen looks forward to the time when she sees Thistle with some face piercing and can go "How dare you culturally appropriate my tribe's customs??!"

then after a five count smiles and goes "I'm just shitting you. EVERY culture has done that"

heh
