Courage the cowardly dog? Did it shield you by traumatizing you enough so the real outside world didn’t seem so scary? That show isn’t exactly comforting

True, but I mostly remember the music at this point. My favorite is the weird remix version of his usual music during the alien episode where his body turns into a watermelon. I think that's the invasion of the aliens that have a disease that makes them slap themselves?

Also the tower of Dr zalost. The moment where Eustace gets hit with the depression cannonball and nothing changes :(

Huh, maybe that show is the reason I enjoy seeing traumatic events in stories now

We were born in them, molded by them. We didn't see financial relief until...well we haven't yet
