domestication syndrome / dhole b.

[ID: white text on a blck background in arial font. it reads:

domestication syndrome

- dhole b.

the theory of why domesticated dogs have ears folded over, cartilage losing structure and purpose

is that for years they were cradled and held and told

"you don't need to be sharp anymore, you don't need your edges"

with this being whispered into their ears, generation after generation, it’s weakened them down to their DNA.

soft.

you are a dog pretending to be wolf, begging to be wolf, with your ears cropped to be pointed up like daggers

but it's still wired into your meat to expect a soft hand under your jaw,

and you only ever expect the bite once the teeth are already piercing

you're gentle when you touch my stomach.

I wrote something about that before, didn't I? Like I'm a rabid dog, baring my stomach in scared, restrained submission. I won't lie and say it doesn't sometimes feel like that, given all of my fear and trauma. I'm a scared dog, after all.

There are other moments, however, that I neglected to mention. Or perhaps didn't know yet in the way that I know your tics and quirks now.

I, too, like a dog, sit at your knee, reverent, content to just bask in your presence. I lay in your lap and listen to your body My head on your stomach and your fingers in my hair.

That, too, likens me to a tamed mutt. The way your fingertips twist amongst my curls, gently scratching my scalp. I lose my train of thought far too often. I close my eyes. It isn't to avoid you anymore. It's to focus, or perhaps lose myself, or maybe something else. To feel only your touch.

I wouldn't say that I am tamed. I don't think that's possible for me.

I can say that I am loved. I am loved wholly and painfully and vulnerably. I am loved gently and I am loved hot and I am loved brutally. I am loved kindly. I am a wild dog, who is too tired and scared. But above all, I am a dog who is loved.

some of you are miserable because you're mean. like you're just mean to people and things

[atomicstarstruck]

when the objectively bad person has traumatic and honestly reasonable reasons for why theyre like that but it doesnt excuse their actions and only serves to make them more tragic as a character

We were given some directions to go through a village and were told to “watch out for the sleeping policemen”

All of us in the car except my sister knew what a sleeping policeman is (she was looking for a sculpture)! I don’t know whereabouts the phrase is mostly in use, either, is it British English??

[atomicstarstruck]

every cop everywhere should die badly

Still collecting the full alphabet of the “live, laugh, love” variants if anyone has some good examples.

Bonus if they can fit the “We can’t ___, _____, ____ our way out of this.”
