Currently trying to convince eldest daughter to go to the local dive diner with me for breakfast.

“Oh no, it’s not virtue signaling pal. It’s actual virtue.”

I’ve decided to let the insomnia win and am now having a cup of instant coffee and staring into the void at 3:10am

Arcane is squarely a teen to adult show.

Along with what you mentioned they had @realgdt.bsky.social Trollshunters. Alone that was amazing. And as my youngest got older she looped me into Arcane on Netflix. (Mine are solidly teens now)
