I was busy doodling your most dumbest boy and I shared a drawing of him with a friend who doesn't know about Kenny. They proceeded to go apeshit about him until I informed them that Kenny is very much in love with Shane.

This was their response to this information:

I need to verify whether or not this analysis is accurate.

the analysis is correct. if u showed Kenny a chart of conventionally attractive and conventionally unattractive people he wouldn’t be able to pick out which is which. if u asked him what he sees in Shane he’d get rlly confused. the cross section of his brain is bedrock.

so this is how the swan/frog discussion would go:

An unfortunate update. Holly has learned that if we are both ignoring her (read: working), the best and surest way to get a reaction is to fart directly into the air intake vent.

Help.

Me normally: Let people love what they love

Me, after a Test Match Special commentator expresses their belief that the new All Creatures Great and Small is somehow "better" than the 1978 version: This is pure insanity and TMS can no longer be trusted on anything, how can they even be trusted to know about cricket, do they have no TASTE

Reddit is the one site where I can reliably be downvoted for pointing out completely normal facts about dogs. What are those completely normal facts about dogs?

1). Working dogs aren't pets. Working breeds aren't pets. Having a working breed and not allowing that dog to work is, in fact, cruel.

2). Free spay/neuter prevents dog bites. It should be free or very low cost for people to have their companion animals sterilized.

3). If you get a dog and don't train that dog, you are being extremely neglectful.

4). All dogs bite. Some breeds are far more prone to it than others and do more damage, but all dogs can bite. Acting like only one breed bites (and making excuses for non pit bulls that bite) is stupid.

5). Even if we went door to door and killed every pit bull type dog (barring the human mental health cost and the money needed to DNA test every dog in America), there will be another problem breed. My money is on Australian cattle dogs or Malinois.

6). It should not be controversial to legislate mandatory insurance, licensing, training, and sterilization of pet dogs.

7). Pushing for the natural extinction of a breed via mandatory spay/neuter is not being blind to the breed's issues. Nor is being fine with breeding for a look, while also breeding for a very docile temperament.

8). By acting like any solution short of mass culling is a crime against God and nature, you are, in fact, acting like an idiot and pushing people into a corner. Most folks would be fine with sunsetting a breed/mix if it was done humanely.

Not sure how to phrase this in a complimentary way but I am really glad Captain Olimar isn't a real person with real feelings because I think your righteously vicious takedowns of his character would fucking kill him. Very very good. Extremely good.

(undoubtedly re: these tags)

oh listen anon. listen. listen listen listen listen listen:

did i ever say i wasn't going to say them to his face?

this is literally four sequels down the line (at least by the order im writing them) but the reckoning is coming. this guy is going to be forced to choose between his unwillingness to change in any way that matters and his journey and struggle meaning anything at all. he has never cared about the gun to his own head, but if he doesn't start he's never going to be happy. it takes a push with him, an impulse: something stronger than the friction holding him in his grating routines and comfortable, familiar miseries; something strong enough to overpower his every sense of shame.

dogs leading dogs as it is now is about knowledge and the learning of it and what that knowledge can help its adherents achieve. it's about two very flawed people who come together to mutually recognize the other's personhood, as unconventional as it may seem from their own perspective, and how that knowledge of personhood obtained during that quest can save them. how they can both use that knowledge to alter their perspectives, and how they can learn from each other as they do so: the pikmin learning independence, and olimar learning to accept change.

the problem is that olimar doesn't learn that. olimar learns just about the opposite of that, in fact. and it's going to take all of DLD2, and all of DLD3, and a good amount of DLD4 before anyone will have the will to scream at him with a gun to something he actually cares about, because god forbid would it ever be himself.

this guy is going to get skinned alive by something that knows him better than he knows himself. and he can either sit there and take it, or he can fight back. so it's a shame that he never fights under improbable odds, only the impossible or the certain. maybe if someone drove that like a railroad spike through his stupid stubborn skull he'd actually have a chance.

(on a less literarized note, id just like to say that pikmin 3 is a god tier character study for olimar because it takes a really special kind of person to get that fucked over by their own individual hubris, and an even more special kind of person for Olimar's Comeback to happen at all. (but that's for DLDP3, and by the time DLDP3 rolls around our single most important canon divergence has grown into such a canyon that Olimar's Comeback won't even happen at all. but you didn't hear that from me))

(and on a comedic yet entirely unexaggerated note, this guy's got 99 problems and the various methods by which he lies to himself to maintain a facade of normalcy and self-satisfaction and generally his inability to level with himself that everything wrong in his life is not fine is about 98 of them.)

Looking at critique for Hazbin Hotel is half genuine shit that definitely should be up for debate and half 'Fuck Viv and the art and the meaning I forced onto this specific thing that isnt actually what the specific thing and also I felt emotion and thats obviously the shows fault I didnt understand how to stop watching something that upsets me'

This is why I stay away from Hazbin critique :3

i love when dogs see something they hate so much they just puff up and make the biggest bark ever while throwing their entire body at it teeth-first.

I know it’s objectively dangerous and I would be horribly harmed if one came into contact with me while doing that, but it really just makes me laugh every time.

I need to keep reminding myself that I did so much to keep her comfortable and alive for long enough for my family to return and also that nothing I could have done would have kept her alive so I can't keep dwelling on it like I didn't do enough. I did so much. I carried her everywhere. I helped her use the bathroom. I constantly was wiping the brown crusty drool off her paws and the crud that kept building in her eyes to give her some feeling of cleanliness and comfort. I stuck an IV in her (that I got from the vet, not just, like, on my own) once a day to keep her hydrated. like even though I was scrambling to finish an animation and get work done I put aside so much time and effort and love for her. I watched her like a hawk for the whole week, dealing with this on my own (it's no one's fault, just really bad timing, everything just happened to line up perfectly for the perfect shitstorm), just to make sure she didn't collapse and hurt herself. I did enough :( it wasn't enough but nothing would have been

Dog has a swollen lymph node. Just one for now. Which means her cancer is getting worse already. The longer this goes on, the more detached I feel from reality.
