I agree. It's growing on me also. Unlike "Grim" which I kind of like but don't always remember to watch, "Untouched" and it's mythology is drawing me in. You never know which fairytale they'll bring into their storyline or what sort of twist they'll give it. The Pinocchio backstory was particularly fun.

As much as I like David Greenwalt, "Grimm" just looks so paint-by-numbers to me. I don't know, though, as I've never checked it out.

In Australia, possums (not the same as your possums!) mostly get into city houses and leave the rural houses alone! They live in my backyard in the country, but my parents in the city get them in the roof.

BUT. apparently nadia has been turned into a vampire that lives in alaska!

I heard she had a role and a big song in the movie! I even tried to buy the song, but it's album-only. Hmph.

Up here in the PNW, we get raccoons. Or did, at the house I used to live at.

Ah, New Mutants - fond memories, even of Bill S. and his acid-nightmare scratchings. Perfect for a storyline like that one. My favorite rendition of Warlock is a tie between his initial version of the character and Art Adams' later, incredibly detailed designs.

New Mutants makes me happy (so far, anyway). Don't know if I will get it for Yuletide or not, but I've been considering doing a treat for another NM prompt I saw ...

::waves at you::

Glad to see you around. So to speak.

(I hate possums. One almost mauled my dog once and I am unforgiving.)

Hello, yes! Sorry to have been so out of touch. I've sort of been immersing in writing of all kinds and just trying to burrow down and recuperate. Will write soon!

This possum appeared to have no plans more nefarious than eating fallen fruit from my satsuma tree. (I eat satsumas like mad, give them to my neighbors and friends, and still the tree makes more than I can handle!)

Oh, s/he had nefarious plans. You just did not discover them.

POSSUMS BOO.
