Everyone on Sesame Street is always talking about love. Yuck.

BUT NOW it’s time to tell you about what Oscar the Grouch loves! NOT A DARK LORD BUT A QUEEN! NOT DARK BUT BEAUTIFUL! ALL WILL LOVE ME AND DESPAIR!

But no, I will diminish and go into the West. And I love trash.

@Leucrotta Do you think your disgust for love comes from a fear of said love? I started to rewatch Sesame Street recently & I legitimately cried many times because I feel like the world corrupted my ideas of bonding with others since of course, you don’t see many people out there acting as wholesome as those on Sesame Street. Heck, even Oscar is lovable in the sense where he finds practicality in the things most people discard & take for granted.

@julilyinfinite It's a joke about the "I Love Trash" song! Oscar starts out talking about how everyone's talking about love, "but now it's time to tell you what Oscar the Grouch loves, what all Grouches love more than anything!" And then he launches into the song, which I completely adore.

@julilyinfinite heck... here's the song, it's a personal favorite if you don't know it yet.

@julilyinfinite it’s such a fun song! And I mean, who *hasn’t* been in a place of “this is completely worthless to everyone else but *I* like it”?
