this photoset gives entirely the wrong idea about Jack and Mogget’s relationship

(absolutely 0 aggression actually, we introduced them on like day 4 or 5 to Mogget’s complete ~*~adoration~*~ and Jack’s complete lack of fucks. I think the only reason Mogget bonded with us so quickly is because Jack snubs him and refuses to give him affection or attention while Mogget full-body-rubs on Jack while prrrping, rumbling, chirping, and rolling over winningly to expose his belly. Humans, however, will indulge Morning Cuddles Mogget. They do tussle a bit now but they are also not besties despite what Mogget believes.)

but apparently the only photos on my phone are shared basket photos quickly taken for partner’s delight moments before Jack got annoyed at being sat on and left the cat bed in a huff. These are from multiple days.

also yes that is a tum for petting. it is not a trap. both my partner and i pet that tum all day long and of course it is soft and amazing.

"chilchuck isn't a twink, he's a DILF!" now i get why you're saying that but i feel like you've maybe forgotten what chilchuck tims canonically looks like

i'm sorry but this man is a twink. also DILF isn't a body type it's a status (and technically, an opinion) so he can be both

"but he's middle-aged!" look at him. look with your eyeballs. his age has nothing to do with the fact that he Looks Like That. he's a twink. the sooner you accept this the less angry his fandom will make you

edit bc this post has become the bane of my existence:

FAQ

Q: wtf do you mean he's a dad? he looks like a kid. A: he is 29 years old, and a half-foot. half-foots are dungeon meshi's halflings, or hobbits, or whatever you want to call them.

Q: wait, if he's 29, why the fuck are you calling him middle-aged? A: half-foots have an average lifespan of 50 years. chilchuck was originally drawn with grey hairs (you can see that in the manga fullbody) but the mangaka gave up on that over time. he's middle-aged for his race.

Q: hey, doesn't that look like a little angry face on his boot in the manga drawing? A: yea kinda

In my Zeus bag today so I'm just gonna put it out there that exactly none of the great Ancient Greek warrior-heroes stayed loyal and faithful and completely monogamous and yet none of them have their greatness questioned nor do we question why they had the cultural prominence that they did and still do.

Jason, the brilliant leader of the Argo, got cold feet when it came to Medea - already put off by some of her magic and then exiled from his birthland because of her political ploys, he took Creusa to bed and fully intended on marrying her despite not properly dissolving things with Medea.

Theseus was a fierce warrior and an incredibly talented king but he had a horrible temper and was almost fatally weak to women. This is the man who got imprisoned in the Underworld for trying to get a friend laid, the man who started the whole Attic War because he couldn't keep his legs closed.

And we cannot at all forget Heracles for whom a not inconsiderable amount of his joy in life was loving people then losing the people around him that he loved. Wives, children, serving boys, mentors, Heracles had a list of lovers - male and female - long enough to rival some gods and even after completing his labours and coming down to the end of his life, he did not have one wife but three.

And y'know what, just because he's a cultural darling, I'll put Achilles up here too because that man was a Theseus type where he was fantastic at the thing he was born to do (that is, fight whereas Theseus' was to rule) but that was not enough to eclipse his horrid temper and his weakness to young pretty things. This is the man that killed two of Apollo's sons because they wouldn't let him hit - Tenes because he refused to let Achilles have his sister and Troilus who refused Achilles so vehemently that he ran into Apollo's temple to avoid him and still couldn't escape.

All four of these men are still celebrated as great heroes and men. All four of these men are given the dignity of nuance, of having their flaws treated as just that, flaws which enrich their character and can be used to discuss the wider cultural point of what truly makes a hero heroic. All four of these men still have their legacies respected.

Why can that same mindset not be applied to Zeus? Zeus, who was a warrior-king raised in seclusion apart from his family. Zeus who must have learned to embrace the violence of thunder for every time he cried as a babe, the Corybantes would bang their shields to hide the sound. Zeus learned to be great because being good would not see the universe's affairs in its order.

The wonderful thing about sympathy is that we never run out of it. There's no rule stopping us from being sympathetic to multiple plights at once, there's no law that necessitate things always exist on the good-evil binary. Yes, Zeus sentenced Prometheus to sufferation in Tartarus for what (to us) seems like a cruel reason. Prometheus only wanted to help humans! But when you think about Prometheus' actions from a king's perspective, the narrative is completely different: Prometheus stole divine knowledge and gifted it to humans after Zeus explicitly told him not to. And this was after Prometheus cheated all the gods out of a huge portion of wealth by having humans keep the best part of a sacrifice's meat while the gods must delight themselves with bones, fat and skin. Yes, Zeus gave Persephone away to Hades without consulting Demeter but what king consults a woman who is not his wife about the arrangement of his daughter's marriage to another king? Yes, Zeus breaks the marriage vows he set with Hera despite his love of her but what is the Master of Fate if not its staunchest slave?

The nuance is there. Even in his most bizarre actions, the nuance and logic and reason is there. The Ancient Greeks weren't a daft people, they worshipped Zeus as their primary god for a reason and they did not associate him with half the vices modern audiences take issue with. Zeus was a father, a visitor, a protector, a fair judge of character, a guide for the lost, the arbiter of revenge for those that had been wronged, a pillar of strength for those who needed it and a shield to protect those who made their home among the biting snakes. His children were reflections of him, extensions of his will who acted both as his mercy and as his retribution, his brothers and sisters deferred to him because he was wise as well as powerful. Zeus didn't become king by accident and it is a damn shame he does not get more respect.

You know, whenever I see the discussions around Jack Marston possibly getting drafted in world war one, I can't help but physically ache at the thought of it.

Jack Marston, born into a gang that honoured freedom above everything, forced to sacrifice everything he has left for war.

Jack Marston, a boy who read about knights and soldiers, now forced to become one in another fight he never asked for.

Jack Marston, raised to be away from a life of violence, but now the world has found a way to drag him back in.

No matter what happens, Jack would have to face a really tragic dilemma. Does he go to war and sacrifice the legacy of freedom he was raised with? The life his family died for? Or refuse and be labeled a criminal, putting his parents to shame and repeating the same cycle his father went through?

It just tragically mirrors the struggle he’s always had - trying to find his own identity outside the legacy of John Marston, and the violence that came with it. But he's being pulled back in, no matter what he chooses.

He was never made for the violence that shaped his parents' life.

Warriors and Legend's dynamic is the most ridiculous thing ever

Fanfic prompt : Especially if it’s a true older sibling younger sibling dynamic

Warriors is the one who would torment Legend for daring being his bitter and salty as fuck self

To the point where he would probably bully the other into being less bitter just because he kept saying how horrible the other's existence was

And Legend had to prove him wrong on principle

Warriors be that kind of older brother who smashes Legend’s head into the cake and then gets him a new one

He definitely seems like the type to make fun off legend

While also having his arm ready to grab him if they are near any form of escape

Windows and Cliffs included

That rat ain’t leaving

He needs his punching bag to torment

It’s for mental health

Who is he going to tease if the rabid rat is gone

An older sibling's teasing and love towards the middle child is ALWAYS the most devious and dangerous there is

The rest of the chain are not the ultimate middle children

That’s all Legend with his teenage angst and physical reaction towards Warriors' existence

He visibly experiences pain when Warriors is getting any kind of success

He has to ruin it or else he won’t reach the most inner peace of being a demon spawn that any middle child craves to have for once

They are so older sibling and their younger rat sibling coded

It’s unbelievable

Like even if Legend gets put under mind control or something (because of his dark form) he would rather get into an argument with Warriors and stop in the middle of killing somebody to tell him he is the worst thing in the universe

Then actually be controlled

The sibling rivalry is TOO fierce for even the strongest kind of mind control

The urge to be a gremlin is too powerful

The chain has to constantly drag those two away from each other because Warriors loses any and all maturity and self control when in general proximity to Legend

Time , Sky and Twilight be berating him on being too harsh

Just like any other parent does because you are bigger and older

Even when the younger one started it (the universal experience is no joke Legend was giving him the middle finger behind the others's back)

And the cycle continues

While also trying to force them both to be friends even if they are more or less the weirdest but best friends anyway

I rewatched Guns For Hire tonight and I forgot how funny the droid chase on Plazir-15 is.

These poor people are just enjoying their meals in a fancy restaurant and suddenly a Mandalorian in the middle of an intense chase sprints in...

(I love the way Din holds out his hand apologetically to them... in a world of boys he's a gentleman.)

Then said Mandalorian launches himself through a window to catch the droid...

No hesitation, just straight away launches himself through a window.

(And slides along on the floor in a thrilling sequel to #weeeeeeee)

I love knowing that throughout the galaxy there are probably so many people with anecdotes about this one shiny Mandalorian who arrives on planets, causes a ruckus and then leaves without elaborating. Din is truly insane and a nuisance [affectionate] and his hatred for droids is probably infamous at this point.
