a 12 year old boy at work today made a clay snail and was painting it all black and i VERY JOKINGLY asked ‘haha are you making a goth snail’ 

he proceeded to go into a fully-fleshed out backstory about how his snail was conceived by satan, had the power to eat child souls, was named after oscar from sesame street, lives permanently covered in black eye liner and how this. this tiny clay snail was the only one who survived the thanos snap 

it killed me. i was doubled over and crying and i literally had to give this kid candy to stop talking about it
