You are deeply loved. Even on the days when everything feels heavy or uncertain, please know you're not alone. I see you, I care about you, and I’m here for you, as is everyone else here ,whether you need a quiet moment, a shoulder to lean on, or just someone to remind you that you matter. You're not in this by yourself. You’re never truly alone

No one that cares is shit 
Most of you are consistently lovely, even if you don't want us to think you are
A million dogs barked when I played this.
You're welcome, I guess?
Equally I couldn't do any better so....
I'll stick to posh rap in future
There. I finally read it lool. It's amazing Ciaran!!
MADDIE: THE MUSICAL! (An ABBA-solutely Ridiculous Adventure)
It began like most life-changing events: with a rage-fueled raccoon screaming at a toaster.
"WHY WON’T YOU TOAST EVENLY, YOU SAD CHROME COWARD?!" Maddie shouted, slamming her fists down on the kitchen bench.
Lexi the farmer horse wandered in, gently munching on hay. “Mornin’, Maddie. You okay?”
“No! I’m listening to music to calm down and I accidentally clicked on a ‘Best of ABBA’ playlist, and now—”
She paused. Her eyes sparkled. Her fire-red hair flared like disco pyrotechnics.
“I think I’m in love,” she whispered. “With Swedish pop.”
Later… At HQ
Fish and Grapefruit walked into the office. (Yes, Fish was carrying a glitter cannon for “emotional support,” and yes, Grapefruit was now definitely a red panda in a trench coat.)
Suddenly—BLAST—Maddie leaped out from behind a filing cabinet wearing silver flares, platform boots, and a feather boa.
“I am... the Racoon That Loved A Tune!”
Fish screamed. “IS THIS A MUSICAL NUMBER?!”
“You better believe it, Water-loo!” Maddie winked and pointed finger guns at him. “I couldn’t escape if I wanted to!”
Grapefruit facepalmed so hard she left a paw print. “We’re not doing this again. Not after ‘Raccoon Week on Ice.’”
The Madness Spreads
Maddie wouldn’t stop. Every conversation turned into an ABBA pun:
• When Hope the posh crow mentioned a security breach:
“Sounds like a case of Gimme Gimme Gimme... access control!”
• When Sadie the duck started dancing:
“You are the Dancing Quack, young and sweet—well, kind of.”
• When Hugo the vegan thorny devil mentioned tofu:
“You think tofu's the answer to everything.”
“Yes,” Maddie grinned, “I do, I do, I do, I do, I do!”
• When Casey the platypus asked for silence so he could meditate:
“No! Knowing me, knowing you, I’m gonna keep singing!”
• When Red the penguin tried to calculate orbital velocity:
“That’s cute. But have you ever felt The Winner Takes It All in your soul?”
The Intervention
A group meeting was called. Maddie showed up in full ABBA costume, holding a disco ball and a smoke machine.
Lexi stepped forward. “Maddie, hon… we’re worried. You’ve been quoting ABBA lyrics for 36 hours.”
Fish added, “And you glued sequins to my face while I was napping. I’m still sparkly where I emotionally shouldn’t be.”
Grapefruit groaned. “We need to talk. This isn’t healthy.”
Maddie looked around. “Oh. I see what’s happening.”
She wiped a tear dramatically. “You’re just jealous. Because I was Born to Be Björn.”
The Twist Ending
Just when everyone thought the madness had peaked…
Bailey the skunk rolled in with her drum kit. “Guess who learned to play every ABBA song ever?”
Wonderoo the stylish koala burst through the door in a glitter cape. “I’ve already choreographed a tour!”
Storm the chickadee floated in. “Okay fine, Dancing Queen slaps.”
Even Grapefruit muttered, “…fine. It’s catchy.”
Fish looked directly into the camera.
“I knew this would happen. First cheese, now disco. I’m living in a Swedish fever dream.”
FINAL SCENE: MADDIE’S LIVE SHOW
A full stadium. Lights down. Maddie steps up to the mic.
“This one’s for everyone who ever felt too angry to sing… but did anyway.”
The beat drops.
“You can dance, you can fight—
Having the time of your life…”
THE END
(Or is it just the beginning of “ABBAgeddon”?)
You’re all lovely. I think every single one of you has supported me at one point or another
