That plus whumpee's reactions

Grunting or hissing as they lower their head after being spat on

Whumpee flinching and yelping when the bars are hit right next to them, then getting hot and angry when the guard laughs and keeps walking

When the whumpee is already at their last straw and a mean guard just pushes them over the edge and that sob they've been holding back just gasps out and they hold their breath to stop another one

"I'm not stupid." Whumpee protesting softly as they are being insulted and shoved, keeping their head down

Thinking about imprisoned Whumpees being abused by guards. Thank you @dresden-syndrome for the brain food!

Spitting on Whumpee, or stomping on their fingers

Forcing Whumpee to perform humiliating tasks to receive basic needs

Banging weapons against the bars to scare Whumpee, or to listen to them groan when it makes their migraine worse

Splashing a bucket of waste or cold, dirty water at Whumpee

Beating Whumpee for the smallest slights, or for invented ones

Lying to their leader/boss about Whumpee misbehaving

Derogatory names/language, either directed at Whumpee or spoken to one another as if Whumpee isn’t there

Tripping Whumpee during transit, then striking them for being clumsy

When Whumpee tries to tell the leader/boss about the abuse, the guards only get more violent

Force feeding Whumpee pills when they get sick, because they get in trouble if Whumpee dies on their watch

The Language of Love

If you are already convinced snakes are incapable of love, this post is not for you. But if you are open to the possibility that maybe they do, and maybe they love us too, this post explores that thought. Perhaps snakes feel it differently, perhaps they feel it the same humans do- though even humans experience love, be it platonic or romantic, differently from individual to individual. Different people also show their love in different ways as well! Yet still even with a divide between species most of us have felt love from our furry and feathered friends. Perhaps our scaly friends are also telling us they love us, we just might not understand.

When I first got my girl Scoria, if I could tell her only one thing it would be, "I love you." When I held her, I wondered if she understood how much I cared about her, and would do anything to protect her. When I pet her, I wondered if she knew how amazing I thought she was and enjoyed spending time with her.

And then I started watching livestreams of wild snakes, and how they act toward each other. (The above still is from Project Rattle Cam!) When the babies see a trusted adult, they slither all over them! How many times had my girl happily slithered all over me going no where in particular? I imagine that my finger petting her soft as a feather was probably quite similar to another snake greeting her in such a way.

Sakura is much more shy, yet wants to form a bond with me. I see it when she fights her fear to vibe with me. Sometimes she'll sit for hours at the edge of her tank nearest me, not wanting to come out, but just be near me.

Snakes like rattlesnakes and garter snakes will vibe peacefully with each other, with baby rattlesnakes sleeping near the adult rattlesnakes they trust to keep them safe.

Perhaps, when our shy snakes sits with us, facing their fears they're saying, "I'm scared, but I want to be closer with you." And maybe when our snakes slither all over us, going nowhere in particular, like their wild counterparts do with each other they're saying, "I'm so happy to see you! You're my favorite to be with!" I wonder if they could tell us one thing it would be "I love you, best friend!" And it's okay, best friend. I love you too, and already know. <3

idk why this fandom is so insecure about actually disagreeing on some things with george. like ofc i get it hes the author and ofc he has immense authority on his text but lol this is art. if you have ur opinion that u can substantiate and doesn’t require misconstruing and deliberately misinterpreting/making shit up why are u so desperate for his validation. and its usually silly shit too

My neighbor installed a new hvac fan type thing outside recently and I am still not used to it so I’m trying to have a midnight smoke on the back ally and my one eyed, myopic, astigmatic ass is just squinting into the darkness, looking for whoever is responsible for the repetitive squeaky scraping noise, fully expecting to be murdered by The Hash Slinging Slasher.

Not main tagging this rn but it like lowkey kind of fucks me up how many of Jill's scenes with Clive you could give to another character and it would either fit that character better, or it just kind of dawns on you how little it would change the overall story if you removed the connection to Clive and Rosaria from her character and just left her time in the Iron Kingdom forced to fight in the war for the sake of innocent people (and her consequent struggle over killing)

I'm in so deep - I think about him a lot. Like sitting next to him and leaning on his shoulder. Either dozing iff or talking like this together about whatever comes to mind.

Or him trying to be smooth yet it sounding so weird coming from his mouth that it makes me laugh instead of flustered. He's not the type for that so I cannot help but laugh out loud.

This is how crushing works, right?

in a better world, dontnod weren’t cowards and put romance options in the game, and geoffey is the weirdo you get to make out with in the cemetery

Possibly the funniest ramification (for me at least) of Tobias having a crush nowadays is that one of his most widely used tactics is making people fall in love with him in order to use them for various schemes w/o having to worry about their loyalty swaying long-term, which means that's his first thought half of the time when someone takes an interest in him. And now his second thought which follows 0.2 seconds after is a suddenly lifeless "ah." as he remembers that he can't exactly do that without giving his crush the impression that he's taken and fucking himself over on That front. Fuck his stupid baka life he's shooting himself in the foot NO MATTER what decision he opts for 😭

In a life swap AU rather than just a role swap I think it would be sooo fucked up if Patroclus swapped with Theseus and Achilles with Asterius

[queencvbra]
