I certainly have my own concerns about the treatment of moo deng but um. well i think some of you may just be racist
#this ^ isn't directed at any post in particular but instead a lot of comments ive seen. but now im gonna talk about other posts down here#and prefacing anything i put in the tags here with DONT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH#but the biggest post ive seen going around rn about moo deng being mistreated and the general quality of khao kheow zoo is questionable#claims that the enclosure is mostly concrete seem to be false from all the sources i can find#the concrete section looks like its specifically around the feeding area which fits zoo care guidelines which specify that the feeding area#be a surface that can be easily cleaned separate from the substrate and is a surface present in other zoos#the lack of deep water also seems to be purposeful? older videos of the same enclosure show deeper water areas#and looking back through the news every baby pygmy hippo announcement from every zoo i could find mentioned periods where the baby had to#learn to swim and was slowly introduced from shallow water to deeper water as time passed#this was also corroborated by fowlers zoo and wild animal medicine volume 8 which suggests keeping the mother dry and then slowly#introducing water as the baby grows as a potential best practice#damn im treating this like a paper now. anyway the negatives#there are absolutely things that strike me as bad eg. public access to the hippos and the way the keeper interacts with them#for the keeper stuff in particular i'd really like to see input from someone who has experience as a zookeeper with pygmy hippos#the public access is something that i def think the zoo could improve on and even older footage from years ago shows people sticking like#selfie sticks and shit off the side of the railings and right into the hippos faces#however again the zoo seems to be making efforts to curb visitor behavior which is tough when you go from having 800 visitors a day to#4000+ and you can't remodel the whole exhibit right then and there#all this to say! just do your own research and take somewhat inflammatory comments on the internet with a grain of salt#also just to make it clear im not making any sweeping statements on khao kheow or the treatment of moo deng im just summarizing what i foun#based on what's being said in the most popular post on the subject ive seen.#for the potential like three people who will read all this hi :) hope ur having a nice day

the farmer, the drawing and spring onions
Quitting his job was easy enough. Throwing everything away to follow his late grandfather's letter to a small town in the middle of nowhere, not so much.
It's been a couple weeks since Midori had moved into Stardew Valley. The old, abandoned farm was a piece of work, nothing like Midori remembered when his grandfather was still alive. Looking over the field, he could clearly recall his grandfather's figure, hunched over and hard at work among the season's harvest. After his retirement, and Midori's parents setting up shop by the city instead, the place eventually fell into disrepair. Instead of the carefully planted crops and lovingly cared for fields, in his view was a thick, overgrown forest, scattered boulders and logs, and an only growing invasion of weeds.
Trudging along the dirt path with the morning harvest, Midori made his way into the nearby town. Birdsong filled the air, the crunching of fallen leaves beneath his feet offering accompaniment. Upon arrival, a familiar voice called out to him.
"Midori-kun! Already hard at work this morning, huh?" Black hair with red streaks bounded towards him.
"Just the usual, Tetora-kun," Midori sighed, "I didn't think managing a farm on my own would be this much work..."
Between wrangling the ever-expanding weeds, tripping over rocks and fending off crows, he could only wonder how his grandfather had dealt with it all on his lonesome. An especially nasty one had nipped at his hands in a show of challenge. How gramps put up with this for decades remained a mystery to him.
His friend laughed, "Well, if you ever need any help, just give me a shout! I'm sure Shinobu-kun wouldn't mind lending a hand either."
The townsfolk were nice, and he had made a few friends already, like Tetora and his friend Shinobu. The saloon's bartender Morisawa had given him a hearty welcome despite Midori's protests, and his partner Shinkai was... rather eccentric, having beckoned Midori to the beach with a barely legible soaked note in the mailbox, only to appear out of the water to hand him a fishing rod and float away. He tried not to think much of it.
Parting with Tetora, Midori watched as his new friend raced away to the side of tall, slightly intimidating, muscular man. Must be the chief he's talked so much about, he thought.
Midori stopped by the bulletin board hanging outside the general store on a hunt for new requests. With the farm needing repair, money for buying new crops and setting aside any change for food, any extra funds would help. Whether its slaying slimes, mining copper pieces or fishing for sea cucumbers, he'll take them if it's within his ability.
The board was as crowded as usual, fresh papers stacked on top of the torn, weathered ones. Midori's eyes skimmed through the calendar, taking notes on the few upcoming birthdays of the various townspeople. Maybe he'll pick up a present or two if he had the time.
That was when a certain poster caught his eye.
Obscured by and tucked away behind several other fliers, a request for spring onions was put up, accompanied by a crudely drawn illustration. Shaky lines drawn haphazardly, a misshapen silhouette, and something curiously akin to a pair of eyes. One might have mistaken it for a sort of cursed talisman, it was almost as if some malevolent aura was emanating from it.
Horrendous as it may be to anyone else, Midori was awestruck at the masterpiece before him. Was it hand drawn? Who was responsible for such a work of art? How could anyone hide it away like that? He was brimming with curiosity. After a few moments of admiring the drawing, he turned his attention the the words below, where 'Please contact Fushimi Yuzuru' was handwritten in a neat font.
Midori couldn't recall meeting a Fushimi Yuzuru before. Maybe he missed someone while greeting the townsfolk? Pelican Town wasn't very big, but the possibility remains.
I'm sure I have some spring onions with me from yesterday... Midori rummaged through his bag, confirming as such, and proceeded to enter the store. Though, instead of the old geezer that usually manned the cash register, he was met with the sight of a dark blue-haired man, one who seemed not much older than him.
With his back turned towards the door, he had yet to acknowledge Midori's presence. He wore a gentle smile as he talked into the phone by his ear.
"...Yes, Young Master, I understand. Are you eating well? If I so much as catch word of you slacking on your studies, please bear in mind I won't hesitate to head there myself and whip you back into shape." A few audible protests spilled from the speaker as the man only chuckled. "Then, have a good day, Young Master. You know you can always give me a call. I know you weren't very thrilled by the rooming arrangements beginning this semester, but please do try your best to get along with Tsukasa-sama."
Having noticed Midori's arrival, the unknown cashier quickly ended the call and turned towards him with a polite smile.
"How may I help you?"
"Oh, um, I have some crops from my farm I wanted to sell..."
Midori quickly unloaded the contents of his bag, looking up for a moment at the young man as he priced his crops accordingly. Upon closer inspection, he found that his slightly messy blue hair, long eyelashes and the mole under his right eye were rather... attractive?
He said something about a young master... is he from some well off family? Assorted theories crossed Midori's mind. What would someone like that be doing out here in the middle of nowhere?
Midori snapped out of his thoughts once the young man spoke up.
"You must be the new farmer, I presume?"
"Ah, yes! It's Takamine Midori."
"Then, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Takamine-sama." He handed Midori a sack of coins in exchange for his crops, once again with that perfect customer service smile of his.
Takamine-sama? "A-ah, same here..."
Midori turned to leave the store, before suddenly recalling the request for spring onions he had taken earlier. Whipping his head back to the sales counter, he asked, "Actually, before I go, do you know anyone who goes by Fushimi Yuzuru here?"
The cashier stared at him with slight surprise. "Yes, that would be me. Is there something you need from me?"
Midori's face quickly morphed into that of surprise, and then awe and excitement. He attempted to stutter some sort of reply, to no avail, before remembering his original goal. After a few moments of fumbling around his bag, Midori took out the spring onions and held them towards him.
"Um, I saw you were looking for these from the request you put up outside, and I just happened to have foraged some last night, so...!"
"Oh! Why, thank you very much."
Yuzuru inspected the the vegetables closely, brushing off dirt here and there, before returning to meet Midori's gaze with the brightest smile of the day. He took a handful of extra coins from his apron pocket, much more than what was initially promised on the poster.
"Do keep the change. I've left that request up for a few days now, and was beginning to doubt anyone would take it." A drop of sweat trickled by his face. "Perhaps adding the illustration wasn't the brightest idea..."
Midori's eyes widened.
"Wait, so... you really did draw it yourself?"
"Hm? Yes, why?"
He squeezed the poster a bit closer. Midori couldn't believe his ears. Here, right here in front of him, was the very genius whose undoubtedly skillful hands had drawn the most awe-inspiring piece he had ever laid his eyes on. A grin tugged at the corners of his mouth, any sign of his usual tired expression was now wiped away with the pure, unbridled excitement he displayed. By no means would he let the chance of a lifetime slip right past.
A few onions were knocked aside as Midori fervently reached across the counter. Taking Yuzuru's hands in his, not even the man's startled face could deter the sparkling eyes focused solely on him.
If there was anything Midori knew at that moment, it was that he'd want nothing more than get closer to the wonderful artist before him.
"Fushimi-san— no, Master Artist!"
"...Pardon?"

"Darling, darling boy. My darling boy. Help me move him. We need to go get him inside. Get him warm. I just need to get him warmed up. Felix, darling, where's your jumper?"
@island-in-the-shadows
#there you go#i think this might be the most heartbreaking piece of dialogue from the entire movie#richard e. grant performance here is incredibly vulnerable#and the repetition of darling boy? like he is relieved they found his baby? devastating#also i chose the second one bc i find it very interesting how venetia is getting closer to her brother body and looking straight at it#while elspeth is turned away and the furthest from him the entire scene#both parents are delusional or turning their back#ignoring reality and their pain which prefaces the way they deal with felix's death later in the movie#in opposition to farleigh and venetia looking and grieving openly together#maybe venetia wouldn't have killed herself if farleigh had stayed in saltburn#maybe they would have had a chance if they had remained together like in this moment where they are holding each other#saltburn

There is absolutely nothing more awkward than someone asking me why Im vegan and then when I awkwardly say "because I like animals" because I don't wanna get into it and they just respond with "well I like animals too"
#Blarg#Vegan#Veganism#Especially when she prefaced with that she knows a bunch of annoying preachy vegans and I'm like I am trying to be quiet over here plz thx

idk part of what makes de sinnaur so compelling to me at least is the inherent angst tragedy of it all. like the love was there. it didn't matter but it was there (posts that appeal to three people in this fandom)
the love being there is probably the most important part for me. Angst is hit or miss for me bc I generally want happy endings and don't really enjoy seeing people sad- so the fact alex is so friendly and nice to jannik despite having every reason to maybe not be mean but u know. Have a chip on his shoulder about it is sooooo like it's soooooooo
#and i probably dont have to preface this 2 yall but like yeah yeah its just a game its whatever. let me be parasocial okay were all here on#parasocial central dot org i WILL fiction those real people#ask#anon#mouse man#enemy of the state#also 3 people is still 3 people bestie were all holding hands here

theres this gay guy who me and my actual semester bestie became friends with at the beginning of the semester and over time it became increasingly clear that this guy is like. a nice person but one of the most incredibly annoying people you can deal with within the department which is "guy who read a book in another class and brings it up every single time there's a discussion even if it's not relevant because the only other shit he watches in his free time is doctor who and the witcher" and now bestie and i are like how do we get rid of this guy LMAO but i think he's actually trying to get rid of me now and im not even mad. i probably seem like a huge bitch because the way he talks where he swallows every couple of seconds and can't string a sentence together for more than ten seconds (not his fault but also not my fault) triggers the shit out of my misophonia. oh and because im not out as trans or even bi to anyone at school he thinks im straight and tries to explain gay shit to me and it's infuriating because he only somewhat recently realized he was gay and ive been in the game for almost 10 years at this point and im like GOOOOOD. he thinks hazbin hotel is good queer media.
#he started complaining about neoliberalism and about thirty seconds in i realized he thought it's 'new liberalism' and i told him what it#actually meant and he tried arguing that he was right#and ofc im not saying you cant bring up shit youre learning in other classes and preface it with that but it's like#literally every time. 'in my cultural studies class' 'i read in my cultural studies class' 'in my cultural studies class we' BRO JUST SAY I#sorry i need to be bitchy and he wont see it here#he's impossible to have a convo with because his adhd is so bad that he is only listening for the break in your sentence so he can say what#he wanted to say with basically zero regard to what you just said. no questions and if youre lucky maybe a one millisecond long laugh#again. a kind good person. just someone that annoys me at a cellular level
