Now, The Wicked King!!! I have no edges y’all. I am shook. I sprinted through the reading of this book, much to the detriment of my to-do lists and obligations as a responsible adult. Holly Black did not come with y’all heifers with book 2.

Paulina Must 💀 part 5! The impromptu, unscripte Paulina Must 💀 part 5! The impromptu, unscripted, and unplanned family drama over our house spider named Paulina breaking the unspoken rule of spider cohabitation and moving closer in broad daylight. I’m laughing at every video on my phone in disbelief. Folk asked for more confessionals, so we will try to record more and add those. Also, thank you for all the funny and supportive comments. I'm glad so many consider this their favorite new show.
Nathan shares, in his own words, his relationship Nathan shares, in his own words, his relationship with Paulina the spider prior to her breaking their social contract.

Backstory: Nathan previously had a phobia of spiders. It turned into a manageable dislike, then he and his sister had a pleasant truce with the bathroom spider they named Paulina. In the now-posted 4-part (so far)  series, Nathan decided Paulina Must 💀 and a whimsical impromptu family crash out occurred.
I know a lot is going on in the world! I feel unab I know a lot is going on in the world! I feel unable to post our candid moments of family whimsy without acknowledging this. I’m mourning alongside you. I am also working to create a sense of community and joy wherever I can. Please keep safe and be a part of imagining and building a world that looks less like the fever dream of a villain in a poorly written dystopian novel.

Now back to our regularly scheduled series. Nathan attempts to hire his sister Sophie to take out Paulina 🕷️ since she has a history of woman handling bugs.
