Technical difficulties with the previous post but when we last left off I was making bows for the Sakura/Matcha Milk Tea Cow Sweet Lolita Fursuit... Thing. Look I have a vision, and that vision is adorable. Anyway, tail bow pics from last night:

Slept on it, then deep-cleaned the upstairs on it, and I've decided it needs... More.

one of the reasons i like what aa6 did for apollo so much is because i feel like he's accidentally a really nice example of a third culture kid and i......... never really thought i'd see that kind of experience in the kind of media i like. apollo returning to khura'in and all his conflicting feelings regarding dhurke and khura'in just make me Feel something

it's a lot of projecting from my part but i don't think apollo fully views either khura'in nor japan/US as home, there's just something about viewing a place as your childhood home and even if it is the place you imagine yourself returning to, things are just... different now. he's different now, and the literal home (dhurke's mountain hut) he'd wanted to return to just isn't there anymore... khura'in might've been his entire childhood, but the experience he got was so different from the other locals that he really doesn't know much about the average khura'inese lifestyle at all... khura'inese is probably his mother tongue, but he's so out of practice that he has to relearn it from scratch

i think again, i prefer apollo being japanese because i can just imagine that it was so difficult to fit in when you're so different and you're just so unfamiliar with the same experiences that everyone else had growing up... it's the kind of environment where i can't blame him for growing up not wanting to ever talk about his past, not when he's finally managed to fit in and seem Normal for the first time in his life...

i just feel like it's... easy to say that apollo is returning home to khura'in but there are so many loaded feelings that came with that and the idea of home is such a subjective one that i don't like the answer being so clear-cut. it's more like, on a good day apollo probably considers both khura'in and japan/US his home but on a bad day he thinks about how he'll never really belong in either place. it's another thing when i wonder if apollo ever resented dhurke for the decision to send him away even when he knows it was good for him... or even his real parents for taking him to khura'in in the first place? just imagining, or wishing even, that he could have been fully khura'inese like nahyuta or japanese/american like clay then maybe his life wouldn't have turned out this way.....

i don't know LMAO apollo eventually settling back in khura'in is so cathartic yet so tragic to me at the same time. it's a really weird feeling to not have a citizenship or to speak the language in the place you consider home... heck he doesn't even have a physical home in khura'in when he decides to stay?? it's just. i have a lot of thoughts about this. third culture kid apollo is important to me...

People in breed-specific groups on the internet: I love this breed and their physical traits and their specific personality that was achieved through lots of selective breeding!

Also people in breed-specific groups on the internet, the moment someone suggests they might want to intentionally and ethically breed more of that breed, or purchase from a responsible breeder: Ew what’s wrong with you don’t you know you are LITERALLY KILLING animals in shelters if you buy from a breeder what do you MEAN you want to be reasonably sure your pet won’t die of a heart problem at 3 or develop arthritis at 5 or have a completely different temperament than the breed you signed up for… wow… you really are a monster who wants animals to die.

Like. If you’re hardcore anti-breeder in general, I don’t agree but I respect it. If you are a fan of a SPECIFIC BREED OF DOMESTIC ANIMAL and lose your shit whenever anyone talks about intentionally, ethically, responsibly creating or acquiring more healthy individuals of that breed… do you just want the breed to stop existing? Because it sounds like you want the breed to stop existing.

Trigun 98 really is the anime of all time. It did absolutely say "Here is the biggest idiot you've ever seen in your life. It's going to be four episodes until he does anything that is not blindingly moronic and it's going to be five before he says a sentence that is not a lie. We are now going to vaguely imply that he has a dead girlfriend and that's why he's sad. You will learn ten episodes later that the dead girlfriend is his mother. In episode nine a random man is going to call him depressed and they will spend the next three episodes doing absolutely nothing important but forming an unshakable bond of friendship, and we are also going to learn that they are in space."

What are we supposed to do with any of this. Insurance agents with fifty guns and one gigantic gun respectively are the only reason we have a plot at all. An entire episode's resolution only makes sense with information we are never told and barely implied. The main character is Jesus but also a deconstruction of Jesus. I feel like the show is giving me a rabid guinea pig and leaving me to wonder why this guinea pig is on crack before telling me three hours later that he's a robot guinea pig, answering no questions and raising so much more.

I was talking about this on discord a bit, but I think iterators would have some kind of "energy reserve" for storing organic compounds like glucose needed for supplying energy to their neurons. And a large one at that. Like some kind of fat reserve LMAO

I am beside myself with excitement that next year (2025), we will be getting a new TV anime adaptation of Anne of Green Gables (赤毛のアン). This is particularly cool because last year I read all the original novels and this year, I've been watching the 1979 Japanese TV show.
