It's that yearly time where we must think about The Neverending Story and more specifically about whatever the fuck it was that Bastian's dad was having for breakfast. Raw eggs in orange juice?

That's been living rent-free in my head ever since I saw it as a child.

It feels like it matches his vibes of taxes and responsibilities, at least.

@mr_daemon I always.saw it as showing that Bastian's dad was the kind.of guy who was both deeply weird and absolutely refusing to acknowledge this.

@madengineering In hindsight it could be how he dealt with his grief, alongside responsibilities and mail. Drown it in OJ and Eggs.

At least the discussion about how he should stop being sad about his dead mom had this asmr quality to it lol

This was also supposedly a hangover cure, suggesting Bastian's dad may have been prone to excessive drinking as a coping strategy against grief..

>In "Die unendliche Geschichte" haut Bastians Dad ein Ei in ein Glas O-Saft und trinkt es roh. Das wird oft als Katermittel benutzt
