It's from Finus and Ferb (the fact that I can't spell that makes me feel better) I only know that because my siblings where watching it in the other room.  :P
Phinias and Ferb.

Yes, Tirek was fashioned after a demon, or at least that's what it looked like.
Dreams, dreams are untapped and writhing. How much more real are dreams than that paltry existence which we now call reality? How shall we ascend to that which humanity is destined? By mastering the dreamworld of course. That is how, my pupils, that is how.

  I'd say that I like sci-fi, but in my opinion, fantasy is better.  They're kinda close to each other, though.  I mean, fantasy has magic, mythical creatures, and all sorts of non-human species, and sci-fi has advanced technology and aliens.  Both are pretty awesome.

Honestly, I don't see that anyone can really say that one is "better" than the other. It's just a setting to dress the story in, and a pretty interchangeable one at that. You can take just about any fantasy story and retheme it as sci-fi, and vice versa.

Is humiliated that I actually got that reference.  :P
Is it bad that I watched that show with my siblings earlier this year? (The younger few basically binge-watched Phineas and Ferb on Netflix for ages. And I admit it's kinda funny, but after a while it begins to kill brain cells...)

It's not bad, it's normal.

It really starts to get brain-dead after you watch more than 7 episodes in a row.

Sci-Fi is a sub-genre of Fantasy

"Understood." Will looked at Nico. "Will you be my buddy?"
"You're a dork," Nico announced.

Well, pretty much all fiction is someone fantasizing about something. Thus: all fiction is fantasy. ;D

A SUPERIOR sub-genre! >:D

(Sarcastic zealotry. While I do like sci-fi more, subjectivity is subjective.)

Ohh...well don't feel bad, I've watched most of the MLP episodes...
Are you a brony or just cos of siblings?

Not really a brony. More siblings than anything else.

The Mask

Fair enough. Isn't it funny what little siblings make you watch? I have seriously seen almost every episode of Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom. Although I don't think they show it in America(It's a British show).

Well, notice that I said more than anything else. That was key, so I do enjoy it somewhat.
