Favorite Ways To Cuddle

Dave:

-Super stiff and awkward the first time yall cuddled.

-Was not sure where to put his hands.

-After a few sessions, though, he grew to enjoy it.

-Ironically, of course.

-He won’t admit it out loud, but he loves cuddling with you.

-Every time you watch a movie together, he’s pulling you up to his side or into his lap (yes, even if you’re taller than him. Especially if you’re taller than him.)

-Loves to do those cheesy arm-over-the-shoulder gestures during movies, and that usually ends up leading to him pulling you onto his chest while he shifts to lie down on the couch.

-Your weight on top of him is a comfort. Like a warm weighted blanket he can annoy with raps.

-Yeah, sure, he’s toned it down in recent years, but Dave still raps.

-Prepare to hear rhyming lyrical narration about your snuggle sesh.

-If he needs more comfort, though, he’ll just lay his head on your chest and snake his arms around you.

-He is silently dying for you to play with his hair. He wants it so badly.

-It takes a lot of trust, but he will allow you to pluck the glasses off his face and put them aside. This is one of the rare times he has them off, aside from sleeping.

-If you kiss the bridge of his nose after doing this, it’s a one-hit KO.

Dirk:

-Dirk is… not good at cuddling.

-Not for lack of trying, certainly! He’s just really stiff and awkward.

-It takes him a long time to warm up to the idea, despite how much it does secretly interest him.

-He just doesn’t want to cuddle someone until he’s 100% sure he can trust them.

-Why bother enjoying something that might get taken away, right?

-Once you do start cuddling, however, he finds it extremely comforting.

-Despite this, he still flinches slightly when you try to pet his hair or his arm or something whilst cuddling. He just doesn’t expect it. He doesn’t know what to expect, honestly.

-He is very warm. Not as warm as Davian, but a solid second place.

-He also isn’t very talkative whilst cuddling, preferring to stay silent and enjoy eachothers’ company.

-At first, he will be the big spoon, as he sort of feels like it’s his obligation, but, secretly, he would vastly prefer to be the little spoon.

-It just makes him feel so much safer and closer to you.

-Dirk would never admit that, though. You’d have better luck squeezing blood from a stone than you would getting Dirk to admit he likes being held.

-Regardless of position, he enjoys holding you close and firmly within his arms. All the better if he can look you in the eyes during it.

-This is, surprisingly, one of the few times he’ll remove his glasses without any prompting or convincing needed.

-If he trusts you enough to cuddle, he certainly trusts you enough to look you in the eye.

-And what a sight to see… <3

Hal:

-Goes without saying that he is extremely touch-starved

-Unfortunately, he is also wildly in denial about needing any sort of physical affection, so you will 100% have to be the one to ask.

-He will obnoxiously hint to what he wants, until you catch on, however. What a gentleman.

-Whilst cuddling, there’s no doubt his hands will be roaming the entire time

-Not in a pervy way, he just had no physical stimuli for so long that he really misses just being able to touch stuff

-Especially people. He craves human contact like it’s the air he used to breathe.

-His favorite way to snuggle is with his head on your chest.

-He likes to listen to your heartbeat!

-Hopefully you dont mind those pointy ass shades stabbing you in the chest, because they are very unlikely to come off.

-He sort of feels like he needs them to be himself, so while he’ll be apologetic about how uncomfy they are to you, they’re still probably staying there. Nothing personal.

-If they do ever come off, though… ohhh prepare yourself for the most meaningful and loving gazes you’ve ever seen. And a slightly shifted cuddle position so he can rest his head in the crook of your neck. <3

-But, yeah, he’s usually the little spoon.

-If you want him to be the big spoon, though, he’ll oblige.

-He likes carding his fingers through your hair, regardless of length.

-He also likes giving you little forehead kisses, or even just resting his mouth on your forehead.

-Regardless of the exact position, the closer you are, the happier he is~

Davie (Trickster!Dave):

-Can not sit still to save his life.

-He loves cuddling, dont get him wrong!

-It’s just that… when it’s him, cuddling usually turns into something else. Whether it’s a tickle fight, making out, or what have you.

-Cuddling is spontaneous and usually somewhat inconvenient (for you.) He’ll just float by and scoop you up, and hold you close while he casually floats around the room.

-Depending on where you are, he might take off the glasses, but they’ll probably still be hooked into his shirt. He doesn’t like being far from them, after all!

-If you put them on, though, prepare yourself for an onslaught of squeals and adoring kisses aaaall over your face.

-If you somehow manage to get him to snuggle in a bed or on a couch or something like a normal person, he will constantly be fidgeting.

-His hands are running over your body, playing with your hair, whatever he can do to expend his energy and keep moving.

-His favorite way to keep himself busy during cuddling sessions is, of course, kisses!

-He loves to pepper your face with dozens of kisses, and, if you’ll let him, he’ll even trail them down to your neck or collarbone.

-Careful, though. This is a slippery slope to his second favorite way to pass time while cuddling…

-Tickling!

-There is no escape.

-Resign yourself to the fate of being tickled to death by your adorable pastel boyfriend. <3 It’s for the best.

David (Heinoustuck!Dave):

-David isn’t really the kind of guy to ask for cuddles, so much as he is to scoop you up wordlessly and flop down on the nearest piece of furniture.

-Given his big-ass wings, you are always going to be the little spoon.

-When you cuddle, he makes the softest little cooing sounds, like that of a bird.

-If Davie is the guy who never stops moving, David is the guy who absolutely REFUSES to move once he’s comfortable.

-If you try to shift much at all, he’ll just pull you closer and nuzzle into your neck.

-When cuddling you, he adores it when you lie on top of him.

-He likes brushing over your face or hair with his hands. Just soft, little, affectionate touches. For your sake, he only uses his human hand, as he doesn’t want to gross you out.

-He will be extremely happy and flattered if you draw his bird hand up to your face, though. He takes that as a huge sign of acceptance and genuine, heartfelt love that you can feel that comfortable with him.

-Due to his general body structure, he can’t really help how much his beak or his glasses might poke you, or how uncomfortable his wings might make certain cuddling positions. He will murmur soft apologies if you express discomfort, however, and will do his best to shift ever-so-slightly to make you more comfy.

-Will never admit it, but he likes getting little wing scritches.

Davian (Davesprite):

-Cuddling with Davian wouldn’t really be suggested, so much as it would just naturally occur.

-You’d be watching a movie, or drifting off to sleep, and he’d gently pull you into his side.

-He’d wrap his wing around you protectively and pull your head up to his chest.

-He’d place his own head atop yours, as well.

-Davian is so warm. It’s like cuddling a heated blanket.

-And so fluffy!

-Forget stuffed animals, Davian would be the softest to cuddle by a long shot.

-Davian would be hesitant to remove his glasses. It’s one of the few things that connect him obviously to his old life, and he’s not entirely ready to let that go.

-If he does, though, he will insist that you hold onto them for him whilst you snuggle.

-He doesn’t want them to get lost, and you’d be the one he trusts most to keep them safe.

-His neck feathers are so soft… and so, so cozy and warm. Built-in pillow, anyone?

-Like David, he has a habit of cooing when he’s comfortable. He can’t help it, and is a little embarrassed by it. He’ll try to cover it up with a quiet cough whenever it happens.

-Due to his wings, you sort of have to be the little spoon. That is, unless you’re cool with getting a mouthful of orange feathers with every breath.

-He adores it when you run your fingers over his wings, though. Touch them as much as you like, he’ll love every second of it.

-… And like Dave, he will also make up stupid raps about your cuddling sesh. Just with a few bird puns thrown in. <3

[satanic-saint]

Okay, after some further reflection, I would say Dirk is the type of person who would likely have OSDD while Dave is the one to develop DID. SO here's my thoughts on Dave Strider having Dissociative Identity Disorder. I'm a lil hung over, but enjoy my ramblings.

Dave would struggle to connect with other alters I think. As the present host through teen years and young adulthood (before gaining a diagnosis or revelation of his issues), Dave would probably just view his alters' names as a list of nicknames. Hell, that's what I went through until I was 21 and a half or something. He brushes off the severity of how his childhood effected him. He thinks his list of nicknames is just some odd way he switches things up once in a while. But then he starts to realize... there's memory gaps? And things are kind of blurry sometimes. He can connect the dots, but he has no idea he's asking to go by a different name more often but only for extended periods. Once he finally lays everything out for Rose, she's the one that finally catches on, letting him know he probably has Dissociative Identity Disorder.

Dave has other alters than his main 5, but they're fragments and struggle to be identified for a long time.

Dave- He/It. General host, the typical Dave most know. Very ironic and makes a joke out of a lot of things. Dave jokes it's a nonbinary-cisgender person- "for the irony" he says Davie- He/Him. Repressed child core alter, somewhere between 6-8 years old mentally. He's dormant for a long time until Dave starts working through his childhood trauma and when Davie first fronts, it's a mess for everyone involved because he has no idea where he is. Rose has to walk June or Karkat through calming him over the phone. Davie knows who Dirk and Roxy are, but only ever calls Roxy mom or dad. She makes him feel safe. Sprite- They/Them. They have this peculiar love for crows, makes a few bird puns here and there. They seem to be more depressed than the other alters. Or at least more regularly depressed. They get along rather well with Dirk's AR system and have been caught a few times purposely having conversations with Lil Hal for personal comfort. They like Jade a lot, takes interest in her furry stuff. However, his semi-negative attribute is that he's similar to a self-destructive persecutor alter because he's rather defensive sometimes and will stop things or break things off before they can get too bad. He's purposefully started fights with June and Karkat before to try pushing them away. Lizzy- She/Her. She picks her name from Dave's own middle name (Elizabeth). I say she becomes the main host later in life, but she's also terrified of being rejected by the world. The idea of openly transitioning is scary and when the system is reaching success in the film industry in their late 20s/early 30s, she thinks it's too late and struggles with that. Out of all the alters, she masks herself fronting the most once the system is aware of itself. She shares some of Davie's memories and the offensive way in which she was raised by Bro makes her feel bad about herself sometimes. Alpha- He/Him. Mentally older than Dave the host. Works somewhat as a caretaker and protector in the system. He's beyond monotone and doesn't react much to things. However, if someone does the system wrong, Alpha is the one who loses his cool and calls the person out. He focuses on taking care of and regulating Davie, though also feels nurturing emotions for Lizzy.

Notes:

Fantastic capture of this incredibly immersive and beautiful production. there is a bar in the bottom right corner of the screen that doesn't take away except for one moment where Gandalf and Frodo are talking on the stairs in act one, but overall I worked around it and you can always see Frodo and sometimes Gandalf. At points people are in the audience and I wasn't able to capture them but you can always hear them and I do my best to always try to make sure to capture anything in the audience that I could. Some washout and shakiness throughout.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

It feels like every single fantasy film has been building up to The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. This sprawling world of myth and magic is a landmark achievement. The special effects, characters, art direction, score, scale and faithfulness to the source material make it the kind of picture that will shape generations. It’s big, wonderful and epic but also small, intimate and emotional. This is a labor of love and it shows.

In the Second Age of Middle-earth, the Dark Lord Sauron forged the One Ring. With its power, he was poised to conquer all. Defeated through sheer luck, his evil dissipated. 3,000 years later, the One Ring is discovered in the possession of a humble hobbit named Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood). To save the world, from Sauron's return, the ring must be snuck back into the shadowy land of Mordor and thrown into the volcano where it was forged. On this quest, Frodo is accompanied by his friends Samwise Gamgee (Sean Astin), Pippin Took (Billy Boyd) and Merry Brandybuck (Dominic Monaghan), his mentor, the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen), and representatives of the free races of Middle-Earth: humans Strider (Viggo Mortensen) and Boromir (Sea Bean), dwarf Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) and elf Legolas Greenleaf (Orlando Bloom).

To get us up to speed, the picture begins with a history lesson that’ll knock you off your feet. The armies clashing seem immeasurably large. Sauron effortlessly radiates evil despite having no dialogue. You can feel the thousands of years of culture in the fighting styles, weapons and scenery. Middle-Earth feels real. The scale is immense, which makes director Peter Jackson’s decision to focus the plot on an ordinary hobbit a genius move. In a story with caverns so large our civilization could never dream of carving them, elven cities that seem to grow from the trees that surround them, seamless towers of black stone and all sorts of monsters, it would be easy for audiences to feel alienated. We’d all like to think that when push comes to shove we’d be great heroes but in reality, there’s no way. The best a tiny person like you or me could hope to do is stay brave, which is exactly Frodo’s role.

Several times throughout, we hear that “Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.” There couldn’t be anyone smaller than Frodo Baggins - except, perhaps, his friend to the end, Samwise. The hobbits are humble little people who have lived peaceful, simple lives free from adventure and are now thrust into a journey that will be the stuff of legends. Their joys are simple: warm meals, fields of brightly-colored vegetables and parties with friends & family. One particular scene that shows you just how small they are comes towards the end of the story. Sam and Frodo are traveling down a river. In the distance, they spot these enormous statues, the kind that would make the Statue of Liberty blush. Like us, they gaze at them in wonder, wondering who could’ve built them and who they represent. None of the other members of the Fellowship seem to give them more than a passing glance - and yet, these simple people prove themselves just as brave and reliable as the seasoned guardians they are traveling with. It’s awe-inspiring in so many ways.

By focusing on Frodo and his part of the journey, the film has a strong emotional core. The Fellowship of the Ring knows it has this time-tested story that’ll enchant audiences but before doing anything else, it made sure to get the basics right. Even if it hadn’t, it would’ve been an impressive production. Surrounding the inspirational battle of good vs. evil are incredible visuals, standout special effects and exciting action scenes. The film contains elements of horror in the form of its shadowy Ring Wraiths and scenes set in the deep mines of Moria. It’s got comedy to lighten the mood when necessary, chases so perfectly paced they should be shown in film school and battles that remain exciting whether they feature millions or a handful of fighters. There are so many great lines and iconic scenes you’ll love to quote it to your friends. The score by Howard Shore is this powerhouse that immediately sets up residence in your mind.

Though it ends in a "to be continued", The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is the kind of movie you need to watch just to be part of the cultural conversation. Don't worry if you're weary of following trends; you would fall in love with this film even if you discovered it on your own. (Theatrical version on Blu-ray, April 26, 2022)

Introduction and Rules!

Hello there!

You can call me Bunny, or Jam! My pronouns are he/they, and I am transmasc nonbinary. :3c

(Truscum, terfs, racists, homophobes, Stridercest fans dni.)

(Minors PLEASE dni with posts tagged N/S/F/W!)

I’m mostly just using this blog to post some imagines I’m writing for practice. I’ve got this project idea, and getting feedback on my portrayals of the characters would really help! (Feel free to ask about that project, too, as I will soon be posting about it in tandem with the imagines, haha~) Sooo feel free to send in whatever asks you like, as long as they adhere to the rules! Speaking of...

Rules:

I will only write for Homestuck characters, for now! (No fanventures, Hiveswap [yet], or characters who only appeared in the Epilogues or HS^2)

I only write Headcanons/Imagines at the moment, so please only request those!

I will ONLY write Canon x Reader. (Ex. Dirk x Reader, Jake x Reader, etc..)

Max of six characters per ask.

NO -cest of any kind. (No stridercest, vantascest, etc..)

NO pedophilia, kink, or gore-related asks.

NO dub-con/non-con or self-harm/suicide.

Borderline NSFW asks are fine (such as how aftercare is, their habits, etc.. I’m not writing out a full fic worth of information, or being super graphic, though!)

Pretty please do not try to RP in my dms/asks.

Trickster, Yandere, and Heinoustuck are all acceptable aus/versions to write for, and I will gladly accept requests for them <3

I’m usually fixed on romantic portrayals, but I will write for any quadrant!

Characters I write for:

I want to primarily write for six versions of Dave/Dirk, given the project that I’m working on! These are:

Dave (Beta)

Dirk (Alpha)

Hal (Alpha)

Davie (Trickster Au!Dave)

David (Heinoustuck!Dave)

Davian (Davesprite)

However, I do really like flexing my creative muscles and trying characters outside of my primary focuses! Sooo I will also write for:

-All the other Beta and Alpha humans.

-The Beta Trolls 

Thanks for reading, and happy asking!

(PS, I’ve never actually read the entirety of homestuck, so some of these depictions might be slightly off. I have, however, completed both Friendsim and Pesterquest, as well as read about 2.5k pages of Homestuck. I’m aware of all the plot spoilers, so dw about spoiling anything for me!)

(Also, every character I write is over 18, usually older! Everyone is an adult!)

2022 media consumption year in review

God tier

Matthew Swift series and Magicals Anonymous duology by Kate Griffin (reread). London sorcerer is raised from the dead and accidentally gets fused to the blue electric angels of the telephone lines along the way. Luscious prose, best urban magic I've ever read, and wickedly funny sense of humor.

Kane and Feels - podcast. Paranormal investigators go around London poking the mystic forces with a sharp stick. Surreal. Funny. Moderately comprehensible. There's nothing else quite like it. Someone described it as "the anti-TMA: you cannot form any theories about it no matter how hard you try."

The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North (reread) - two time travelers, defined as people stuck in time loops of their own lives, attempt to unravel the mystery of their existence. Suspenseful and beautifully constructed piece of nonlinear storytelling.

The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender (reread) - Rose tastes people's emotions in food. Her brother disappears into thin air. Their parents are fine. Surreal and haunting pearl of a story.

We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson - after a family tragedy, the surviving Blackwoods live in isolation from the village. A little Piranesi-ish subverted horror: the sense there's a secret at the heart of the world, and the secret is both joyful and terrible.

Our Flag Means Death - the crangst-filled pirate show that it seemed like the internet lost its mind over, for good reason.

Bee and Puppycat: Lazy in Space - Bee travels between the island and fishbowl space working temp jobs with Puppycat, until their pasts catch up with them. Dreamy, bittersweet, and gorgeous. Season finale was a banger.

Vesper Flights by Helen MacDonald (reread). Nature essays on humans and birds. Quiet, luminous, and filled with love of place. Faves were "The Human Flock", "High Rise", "Eulogy", and "What Animals Taught Me"

Natsume's Book of Friends (anime) - Technically about boy who can see youkai, learning how to navigate the world of human relationships. But really about masking, healing from trauma, and learning to trust.

Decent entertainment

The Deep by Rivers Solomon with Daveed Diggs, William Hutson, and Jonathan Snipes

Encanto (2021) - movie

The Witcher, season 2 - show

What We Do in the Shadows - seasons 1-3, got bored afterwards

The Hands of the Emperor by Victoria Goddard

Seraphina by Rachel Hartman

Shadow Scale by Rachel Hartman

Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell (reread)

The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives in Your Home by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor

Touch by Claire North (reread)

Sing - movie

The Floor Test

Our scientific pursuits continue today with not a human world food or novelty, but rather a behavior test! Humans have a lot of normal and "expected" behaviors in the day to day: walking, talking, sleeping, exercise, staring at phones, computers, and tv screens, so on and so forth. But have you ever wondered how your Pokémon would react if they saw you do something... odd?

The test is simple. Lie down face first on the floor, preferably a rug or carpet to minimize discomfort. And call/release your Pokémon one at a time to the room, so they discover your prone body, and mark down their reaction. You may "break" as necessary if they do something silly, move a little, etc. But the idea is we often don't just go prone in the middle of the living room, so let's see how your partners react! For the sake of scientific detachment, all references to myself will be referred to as "tester" in my results.

-----

Subject: Vivi the Sylveon Result: Subject made a curious squeak, and reached for tester's arm with a feeler. Upon sensing tester was not in pain or duress, proceeded to walk onto tester's back and lie down in the "loaf" position, at which point tester broke, chuckled, and had to wiggle/force subject off.

-----

Subject: Aka the Zoroark. Result: Subject cautiously asked if tester was OK. Poked side of testers of face/cheek with claw. Likely saw tester's resultant smirk and proceeded to use illusion ability to induce vertigo in tester, forcing break and scrambling to feet. Tester called subject a "Punk."

-----

Subject: Kati the Gengar Result: Subject proceeded to also lie face down on the floor next to tester. Both subject and tester proceeded to "zone out" for several minutes.

-----

Subject: Jeanne the Corviknight Result: Subject used beak and talons to roll tester over. Subject cawed at tester and prodded at side with beak upon realizing tester was unharmed. Proceeded to nestle at tester's side and take watch. Surprisingly nice, Jeanne, thank you.

-----

Subject: Strider the Dusk-Lycanroc Result: Subject sniffed tester curiously and, upon sensing no harm or duress, proceeded to lick at tester's side of face, cheek, and ear until tester broke and got up to pet and play with subject. Tester called subject "Good boy."

-----

Subject: Davy the Kirlia Result: Subject made alarmed cry and jostled tester at the shoulders. Tester looked at subject to affirm no harm or duress at which point subject joined tester on the floor curiously. Held position for approx 1 minute before shifting to flop over tester's back, at which point tester broke and got up. Subject made happy squeal.

-----

Additional note: Tester needs to vacuum his rug.

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged something from you! get to know your mutuals and followers <3

Okay so, 5 things that make me happy:

-My cat Shoelace (my profile picture)

-LEGO. I've loved building with LEGO since I got my first set for my 8th Birthday and haven't stopped since. I like recreate things from my other interests in LEGO and am working on about 4 or 5 projects currently in various stages of completion.

-Portal. My brother introduced me to this game when I was 11 and I really enjoyed it. I didn't play that many games so found some of the timing puzzles and the final boss a little challenging due to not being the smoothest with the controls.

Almost straight after beating the game I went on to Portal 2 and it remains as my favourite game ever. I love the contrast between the two games. The first has a lonely, eery atmosphere whereas the sequel is so full of life with memorable characters and some amazing comedy. I'll never forget beating the game for the first time and experiencing the turret orchestra in all it's glory.

-Doctor Who. My parents watched Doctor Who growing up, so naturally when it came back after a long hiatus in 2005 they sat me and my Brothers down to watch it. And we watched it every Saturday it was on. While I've lost hype for the 60th anniversary somewhat, I am very much excited about the return of the incredible Russell T Davies and the first Christmas special in about 6 years. Also my current favourite Doctor is Peter Capaldi.

-Half-Life. So I played Portal on the Orange box in 2011 but I never really touched the other two games. That was until almost a decade later I decided to check out Half-Life 2 in the summer of 2020. I instantly fell in love with it and questioned why I had never played it before. I played it continuously for weeks on and and I think Episode 2 would have to be my favourite. The Hunters seemed so intimidating at first but they ended up being so much fun to deal with and I love how they are grouped with Striders for the final fight. I even made a LEGO Hunter and am working on a LEGO Combine Gunship.

The great thing about being so late to playing Half-Life is that Half-Life Alyx was out before I even started playing Half-Life 2. My entire life I'd been seeing Half-Life 3 memes so I found it quite funny how I had managed to get the timing so perfect.

Reading All of Garfield (Up Until This Point) The 1980 Post

I have done it again folks. I have managed to be too overambitious in my endeavours. I really watched The Garfield Video and went "pssh, weak, only 1000 Garfield comics? They are three panels! That isn't too much, why wouldn't he just read all of it? I can read all of it!"

Ya know, like an idiot. So, now I am here, and by god I refuse to bend, I can and WILL read all of Garfield (up until 5/1/2024, when I started this fool journey). I have read all of Homestuck TWICE, and the Crowstrider AU (ALSO TWICE!! Sidenote: If you like Homestuck or even just have a base understanding of the events of Homestuck, but felt is was missing something, check out The Crow Strider AU, it is a really good and a well written story!)

I Refuse To Be Defeated by Garfield.

Unlike Jon who isn't even trying to save his food at his point. ALSO! LYMAN HAS BEEN SPOTTED!! Always weird to be reminded that Odie is not Jon's dog.

I know the joke is that his head swelled up because of the cold, but for a moment I thought his body just strank. Peak Garfield right here.

Oh we love a good Lyman living his best life right here~

Hey, Jon, you aren't supposed to be questioning things like that!

I am so pleased that Jon is actually a country boy that moved out to the city. I recommend this little arc because Jon's parents are hilarious.

Okay, now this one is a little interesting because it is the only one that I've seen that is black and white. Apparently this is because all the original comics were in black and white, but Jim Davis went back and colorized all the old strips! This must have been one of the few that wasn't translated to color, very cool!

I'm surprised that Garfield even cared, I myself have been known to eat myself some raw biscuit dough.

I'm including this because this is such a weird thing to say to anyone, let along your cat. Jon, please do not go onto Rule 34....

AWE, GARFIELD SHOWING SOME ACTUAL LOVE AND AFFECTION TO NERMAL IS SO NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART!!!!

Jon is the most accurate cat owner that I've ever actually seen. Me too, Jon, me too.

Imagine your cat calling you a bimbo for giving you a bath 10/10

Lyman has shown up again! There was a three month hiatus, but he hasn't been edited out of the story yet!

This is exactly how my moirail acts after they seek out shit they KNOW is going to frighten them! This series of comics is absolutely so fucking cute too and absolutely how cats act when you make eye contact with them too long.

I think if a thug was dressed like this and tried to rob me I'd think they were doing a bit at first.

WHEN WILL YOU LEARN!? WHEN WILL YOU LEARN YOUR ACTIONS HAVE CONSIQUENCES!?!?

I'm not going to lie, Garfield deserves this for all the shit he gives Odie. And if this entire arc is just Odie fuckin' with him, I support it!

:0 Garfield's family!? His grandpa is so scrunkly and I love how much Garfield is so excited to see him, and his grandpa is just so over everything,,,, After further reading I have decided that his grandpa sucks actually.

God, me too, Garfield. If I could get out of every awkward conversation by revealing new information about myself I absolutely would.

Oh, oh I know logically that Garfield's last name would have to be Arbuckle, but it has always been "The Cat" in my mind's eye. This was such a rude awakening to the psyche. And on CHRISTMAS too!?

I mean, he is using less power this way?

How....how did he fit in that bowl???? Like, the demensions are not demensioning! Either that or Jon Arbuckle is secretly The Doctor.
