    I hated him, but that’s just a metric of how good acting and writing there was. This cartoon has a certain flavor to it, like an old doom metal record found in the garage probably. And authors did a lot more than I expected from these series, with all these quotes and references, and it feels somehow fitting with the cheap style of 90s cartoon, it kinda adds to the feeling of a lost media treasure no one but you knows of. Thanks for reminding me about it. And for that I’m to share my beloved quote by Goliath: ‘As long as we are together, there’s our home’, that, albeit simple, stroke me with a thought of home being not just a place, or not a place at all, but your treasured people (or, well, gargoyles) making home wherever they are, that rings very right with me at that time when I hate my current surroundings and gravitate towards those who understand me. That’s kinda telling about it’s quality if people can recall the quotes from an old show by memory. It feels like I need to rewatch it once again. Thanks.

      Thank you for sharing. I love comments like this. Just real people, real experiences, no stupid punchline, no clean-cut, curated experience. Just people talking.

        Those are the moments I love the most. It’s interaction not competition and it’s sad that that’s become a rare thing.

          We became afraid of being sentimental or wrong because modern internet does encourage that. I thank Lemmy for sometimes I feel like I can tell something there wihtout trying to win over someone, to be right and get upvotes. I recently replied supportively to a person I’ve taken a fight with a week ago, and that seems organic to what we people do over time. It’s just a simple message from me, nothing to write home about, really, but I’d like for web to become less edgy and more diverse and accepting. That’s the way to encourage more people to open up.
