Sometimes you have to step back and ask yourself: what are you programming yourself to be? The media you consume, that’s how you’re programming yourself. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, if you’re conscious of it, but you have to understand, that’s what you’re doing.

In the Potter reunion, you aren’t “seeing Harry & Hermoine again as adults!” that’s just the actors who played them. When Betty White passed, the Golden Girls didn’t tearfully reunite in heaven, the actresses didn’t even get along well. Your head canon does not subsume real life.

Ah, the pope. He knows his organization can only recruit via procreation at this point in its… checkered history… so he’s ragging on loving your kitties and doggies in impotent frustration. It’s a hell of a thing when the powerful feel it slipping out from under.

If you have a family tradition of piloting trains, does that make you a genetic engineer?
