#and painful and difficult

[mollys-meadow]

I have a co-worker of mine who is in love with someone who used to work here, and it's nothing like anything i've seen before. they are so different and there's some serious age gap there and they are not at all involved romantically but the way they exist together, like they are dancing or in orbit around the other and the rest of the world are just star far away that have no significance. It's so beautiful. Their love is so romantic and platonic and familiar and sure they are friends but they are also father and son and they are also married and it's all and nothing at the same time and I think Sherlock and John are like that too. It's obvious that they are in love and it's no incompatible with them being in love with other people, with John getting married with Mary or Sherlock being involved with Irene or Molly or whoever you'd like. The love they have for one another is unchangeable and impossible to move. It's there, beyond any marriage or relationship they get, beyond death. They are each others hope and life, and that's something that goes beyond a romantic relationship. It's much more than that.

[unhinged-as-hell]

There's a reason why Odysseus sounded so broken when he had to choose between him and his crew. Let's not forget that.

Relistening to the thunder saga and people LOVE memeing on Eurylochus for the "but we'll die" line. You think Odysseus would just forget that he led this crew into battle for 10 years? That Eurylochus is his brother in law?? because they mutinized??? if Eurylochus would've done the same, like Odysseus had said, then Odysseus would've done the same in Eurylochus position. Hell the entire point of their development is that they changed into each other. Of fucking course he sounds so broken, he fought with these men for 10 years. Newsflash, one mutiny isn't gonna change that he actually cared about them. He had their backs, patched them up, lifted their spirits when they were down, fought like all hell to make sure they were okay before the Underworld Saga. He. Cared. About. Them.

That's why the choice was so difficult!!

“What did he think was gonna happen???” Eurylochus thought his captain was still in there. He had no idea just how far gone Odysseus was. He had known him as someone who cared for his men. Even after Scylla its difficult to accept someone you thought you knew so well had changed so drastically.

I'm not sure what tumblrs opinions on tatas are so they are censored but I also posted this on my bluesky where they are not

[hazard-and-friends]

so Hazard's intermittent hind leg problem finally has a probable cause (one vertebra in the lumbrosacral region has a hook and associated stenosis, aka various nerves and muscles get pinched in routine motion) but it's been making me think about that 60% of problem-behavior dogs have a pain issue study

that's usually understood as the pain causing/exacerbating the problem behavior; treat the pain, behavior improves. and i'm not disagreeing with that interpretation but

given how subtle Hazard's symptoms were and how much I've had to push for any investigation at all

...are we sure that 60% of all dogs aren't in chronic pain?

thinking about the sully siblings and how Spider was smaller than them physically, but he was still their big brother, and the pure shenanigans it must cause.

like. they're so much bigger than him, but they no doubt still act like they're little compared to their brother at times.

like you want to tell me they don't hide behind him or lean over so they can rest their head on his shoulder or tuck under his arm. tell me they don't lay on top of him like he's their personal pillow.

its not odd to see all his siblings gathering around him, Kiri resting her head on Spi, while Lo'ak holds his arm, Tuk tucked against his waist, while 'tey rests his chin on Spi's head (he loves all the attention, even if he huffs and puffs like any good big brother). they look silly cause the kids have to crouch and twist and bend to use their brother as a leaning post, and he practically disappears under all their blue.

and that includes rough housing, even if it's unintentional. the kids jumping up for a piggyback ride even when they're nearly double if not triple Spider's size.

Tuk wanting to be carried around by her big brother all the time. Kiri accidentally tugging her brother too hard when excited to show him something. the boys teaming up against their brother when playing, forgetting he can hardly handle one of them, let alone both at once.

his siblings getting the rare chance for a sleepover and cuddling around him like a bunch of big cats. they're tucked around him, under him, on top of him, with just enough care to make sure he doesn't suffocate in his sleep.

when they need some loving, Spider has to beckon them down to give their foreheads a kiss or to wrap them up in a proper hug. Spider likes to tuck his siblings head to his chest with both his arms and squeeze them tight.

when he's got to give them a big brother chat, the kids have to be kneeled down so Spider doesn't have to stare up at them (he tends to kneel too, so they're eye to eye, cause when he looks down on them, they tuck their little ears and he feels bad).

like. they're just big babies that need their big brother to take care of them and love them, even if they're giants compared to him.
