thinking about mechta (dream) the first of the domesticated foxes to have floppy ears
“In 1969, the 10th generation of foxes was born, and among them was a pup that she named Mechta, the Russian word for dream. In wild foxes, a pup’s ears are floppy until it is about two weeks old, at which point its ears take on the ramrod-straight look we tend to picture when we think of foxes. When Mechta was three weeks old, her ears had not yet straightened. They still hadn’t at four weeks, nor at five. Mechta looked exactly like a dog pup.”
looking back... wow of course richas tried to set up fit and pac. fit was the guy that Saved richas a bunch and took really good care of him- richas even showed him the fear rooms on his own. that on top of the things pac and mike had been saying in front of him (the flirting was insane) yeah like of course richas was like... oh okay. you're perfect for my pai! gimmie a sec.
It’ll always piss me off to see people say they can’t relate to a character bc it’s set in certain time periods or bc of their outside characteristics. One of the best things about of fiction to me is that you get to realize that certain things transcend those « barriers ». Don Draper has touched me the most out of any tv character ever and I’m a black gen z Muslim French girl lol just bc it looks like it won’t be relatable to you does mean it’s not something worth discovering and watching. And even if you can’t relate to something that does not mean the humanity and soul behind the creation isn’t worth the try. Always Looking for something you relate to is a boring way to experience media and will only reduce your horizons
Have you seen JaruJaruJ's theory "Blood, Souls, and Sans?" It's basically his take on the otherworld Sans theory, and he shares a lot of the same opinions like you, for example Sans and Papyrus not actually being the same brothers from the same universe, and instead each being from a different one. If you have, what is your opinion on it?
yyyeah i did watch it. i think the man should start writing fanfiction, he obviously has a knack for angst. but he's very self referential in his own theories, and the deductions he makes and builds on are... not exactly supported by evidence. or cohesive character analysis. or tone.
Love (cannot emphasis how much sarcasm there is in that word) that an official Canadian government response to high cellphone rates is to switch carriers.
Switch it to what? We basically have three companies since one was allowed to eat the forth (with the government saying it wasn't anti-competition and the company eating the other pinky promising they wouldn't jack rates up). Even the smaller companies have to rent infrastructure from the Big Three so there's only so much they can do if that rent costs an arm and a leg.
And that's not touching on how many "small companies" are actually just subsidiaries of the Big Three. You may save $5 but you're still with Telus/Rogers/Bell.
Or that the actual small companies tend to have shit coverage because they don't have the infrastructure available to them and are prevented from getting it. Or their traffic is throttled in favour of the Big Three's customers. Or both.
Or that they're extremely regional thus aren't an option for a huge chunk of Canada's population.
We have no true options and the government has shown time and again that they're fine with monopolies, in multiple industries, and don't care when said monopolies jack up prices to make shareholders and the c-suite more money at the expense of everyone else. At most there will be a verbal slap on the wrist and a giftcard for $25 that people have to register for, for a decade and a half of price gouging.
It's not talked a whole lot about outside the country from what I've seen and heard but Canada is a country of monopolies. A handful of companies own nearly everything, every province has a family or two that owns a hell of a lot (Nova Scotia is basically owned by one family at this point), and our government ignores it. Even the branch that is supposed to be against monopolies is fine with mergers and takeovers in most cases.
Because, you know, the company said it totally wouldn't use consumers' lack of options to increase prices.
the only avatar fan who gets me is the guy who writes the tie in novels. YES!! I did want very much to know about how they find the avatar outside of the air nomads YES please tell me more about the complex politics that surround the avatar even when the world isn't going to shit!!
Hey, just wanted to say that you dont need to worry about not posting as often! Your health/mental wellbeing is FAR more important and I am fairly sure we all here hope you will feel better soon after the wedding! Crossing my fingers for you :-)
Aw, thank you! To you and to everyone else who sent well wishes, haha. I'm usually so fine with just Not Writing For A Bit but the fun part about not writing because of stress is that the stress seeps into everything else, ffff, so I appreciate the bit of extra support from y'all beloved online strangers.
Anyway, the wedding should go great, it's going to be super fun! And this weekend is the bachelor and bachelorette parties which is the thing that I was het up about, which will also be fun once it all actually gets started, hehe.
late night thought i just realised while playing genshin. fischl x neuvi is just the genshin version of sebaciel. or even fischl x wriothesley. fischl x wriothesley x neuvilette if you will.
Maybe a controversial opinion that y'all are going to take the wrong way but. Metal is a music genre, not a honorific title. People who say Sleep Token isn't metal might think they're insulting ST but they actually aren't. People who say ST is metal might think they're defending ST but they actually aren't.
"Is ST metal?" is a purely neutral debate. The answer, whatever it is, should only matter to you when you're looking for their discography at the store and you want to know what category they might be in because you have a bus to catch and you don't want to wander around the aisles for half an hour. It says nothing about the band's merits.
I think if we could all agree on that, we wouldn't get mad at each other.
scared to look up alastor on ao3, because while I'm not opposed to people shipping alastor/putting him in saucy scenarios and whatever else that has become a drama- but i know that's ALL it's gonna be, and he is not gonna be in character is he 😩
