Is it imaginable that this video crippled of Young Adult tropes and teenage miss protagonists conscionable isn't meant for me? I person a fewer rebuttals to that idea. For one, hey, this crippled besides contains the bushed 40-something mentation of those characters, which I evidently find profoundly relatable. I was besides a kid successful the '90s and consciousness a increasing nostalgia for Hey Arnold! and my Nintendo 64. I stake I'd emotion Yellowjackets, and I ain a Rainbow Rowell caller and 1 time I mightiness adjacent work it, but truly I conscionable deliberation that bully penning tin transcend demographics.

You'll ever beryllium a young big to me, erstwhile bossman.
