Here comes the best family counselor in the City

Are fedoras really that bad?

YES YES THEY ARE

well, Destiny 2 people, we gotta do this too, right?

Lanternfam tiktok chaos:

Everyone in the house but especially Keli has been pavloved into getting tired whenever someone announces "night time sleepy socks". (It's either Simon or Hal who started it, I can't decide.)

leading to:

Jess, filming: night time sleepy socks!

Kyle, yawning so wide it breaks his face:

Simon, getting up to the bathroom to brush his teeth before bed:

Hal, Jo, and John, ex-military: *already asleep*

Guy: JESSICA IT IS FOUR IN THE AFTERNOON

oh i love this but i'd like to let you know that this came so completely out of left field that i sat and laughed at it for five minutes straight.

okay, so it totally originated as a Thing on like longer space missions. especially because most planets don't have the same rotational speed as earth so there's no consistent day-night cycle they can follow. the rest of them are complete messes of adults but keli has hope of living a semi-normal life (probably maybe possibly hopefully). hence, the set bedtimes and someone (as you said, most likely either simon or hal) saying 'night time sleepy socks' (where is that even FROM).

but again, they're all messes and sleep deprivation is a bitch. jet lag from space has to suck an inordinate amount so they start taking that phrase as a signal to wind down as well. a couple of weeks pass and boom. pavlov'd successfully.

no one realises this for another couple of weeks either. when guy says it as a joke, they turn and watch simon and jess yawn in perfect unison. hal's already conked the hell out. no one is horrified about this revelation until jess finally does it in a video.

the caption reveals so little. jess just mentions they've all been pavlov'd in the weirdest possible way and she says it, all chirpy like she would to keli. "Night time, sleepy socks!" the results are immediate and incredibly satisfactory.

kyle yawns a yawn that splits his entire face in two. it's like watching a snake eat but worse because somehow. he immediately flops over to pass out on the nearest thing.

simon gets up and when jess asks where he's going, he says he has to brush his teeth before bed. he's responsible like that. let me make it clear that the sun hasn't set yet. it's still bright outside. there is sunshine coming in through the windows. the blinds are up. and simon is going to brush his teeth before bed.

hal, jo and john being asleep immediately because they're ex-military is so fucking funny. they don't even think about it. jo's phone slips from her fingers, john tucks his head into his arms and hal collapses into an armchair and starts snoring. literal sleeper agents.

guy? guy is visibly fighting a yawn and the sudden and violent urge to throw jess out of the window. how the hell is he supposed to watch the goddamn game when he wants to fall asleep on the spot. he was supposed to cook today. what kind of role model would he be if he fell asleep over the stove.

this video only cements how fucking weird these people are. the viewers get no answers. jess has successfully become an internet cryptid. all is right in the world.
