Man, I freaking blushed. You have no idea how much that means to me. I'm used to writing for silent audiences at this point, so it makes me so excited to see that people genuinely care about what I do.

Other then that, that's why I loved Season 2 so much. I like a sense of gritty realism to the characters because, at least for me, there's something relatable about it all. (I don't know what that says about me as a person, but I digress.) Other shows write characters as a meaningless farce more often than not, but Gumball always kept characters multi-dimensional, even if that means they're inherently flawed for better or worse. It's not inherent escapism which, for a cartoon, is practically unheard of, and I applaud the show for pushing at and arguably redefining the medium as much as it does.

Thanks for reading. Seriously. Thanks a ton.
