        I don't ever want to hear such foul blasphemy again behold my grumpy face, for it is thinking about smiting you..........

        but would never really, because it adores you far far far too much, and in truth, I love you to death I just want to drown you in huggles

        I swear, that was one of the most adorable things anyone's said to me in a really long time it was just so so damn cute!
