Jinshi and Maomao are both, fundamentally cats.

But they are two very different kinds of cats.

Maomao is a feral forest cat that once introduced to humans only knows how to show affection by affectionately saying "Fuck you"

Jinshi is a purebred of some form or another that has been groomed and cared for from the moment it was born.

This is of course without going into either of their respective traumas and based solely off of their vibes, how they react to each other and other people.

Because Jinshi fully expects everyone around him to pay attention, that is a pampered house cat. Maomao would rather die than have more attention on herself than necessary, that is absolutely a feral cat.

And that is why I love seeing the two of them together and their relationship. Because due to prolonged exposure to Jinshi, Maomao sees there are more ways to show you care than just affectionately screaming "Fuck you!" And likewise, Jinshi gets to see that sometimes being more aggressive and selfish isn't always a bad thing.

Hera: children you have not found the love of your life if you didn’t find them in the trash!

*Sabine and Ezra both look at Kanan*

Kanan: why do you assume that I was in the trash?!

Leia: no she’s got a point

Ezra: does this mean I can space Kallus cuz Zeb didn’t find him in the trash!

Kallus: Bridger I swear

Zeb: kid….Kallus was the trash

I fucking loved Paul's feral chihuahua energy in that final fight scene though. He's just going for it. From like, both an acting perspective but also a character thing, he clearly gives zero fucks at that point and it is FASCINATING to see. The image of him staggering around with two knives in him still like "fuck you I fucking won" is so powerful like??? this is a dangerous dude and you SEE that

James Gunn doing a lot for the world by showing cute CGI raccoons and then two hours later showing you precisely why you do not want one as a pet. Most filmmakers don’t build a disclaimer into their film quite so violently.

ok anyway came on here to lament the lack of diy/sewing your own clothes tutorials/channels out there for queer/masculine/genderweird presenting people

im so tired of fem stuff in my wardrobe and also in all the crafting/sewing channels or whatever that i find

(which is not a dig at fem clothes or femme people, i just. for the life of me. cannot find tutorials or anything aimed at anyone other than a) cis men or b) fem-presenting folks or c) historic fashion/costumery and its a weird gross gender experience for me personally. also i dont have the know-how to make what i want to wear +++ would love inspo and help from other queerdos)

if anyone knows of tutorials/channels/websites/WHATEVER for sewing clothes that fall into queer / masculine / genderweird. i would love recommendations. historic fashions are Not for me and cis dude fashion is SO boring ;-;

The more I learn about Civil War politics, the more I'm convinced that Lincoln's most impressive and useful leadership trait was that he never let his pride get in the way of doing his job.

Other people in Lincoln's position would have come to Washington with something to prove. They'd have resented the insults and tried to disprove them. They'd have tried to seize power and credit, rejected help, spent a lot of time trying to reach a certain level of respect.

Lincoln's response to, "You're just a backwoods lawyer with no executive experience who makes too many dumb jokes," was pretty much always, "Yeah. And?" He had no interest in petty personal power plays. He had a country to run. There was a war on. It didn't matter what people thought of him so long as the job got done.

He was aware of his personal shortcomings and was always willing to accept advice and help from people who had more knowledge and experience in certain areas. He presided over a chaotic Cabinet full of abrasive personalities who thought they were better and smarter than him, but he kept working with them because they could get the job done. For example: Stanton was absolutely horrible to him when they were both working as lawyers. Just incredibly mean on a personal level. But when Lincoln needed someone to replace Cameron, he swallowed his pride and appointed Stanton as Secretary of War, where Stanton proceeded to be mean to everyone in the world, but he whipped that department into shape and kept it running efficiently through a very chaotic war. Pretty much no one except Lincoln would have been able to put up with that. He could put up with people who were personally difficult if they could do the job he needed them to do--which he was only able to do because his own ego didn't get in the way.

Lincoln's example is a prime demonstration of how humility isn't underrating yourself--it's being so secure in your own abilities and identity that you don't need to attack anyone or defend yourself to prove your worth. He knew his shortcomings, but he also knew his strengths. He was willing to give other people credit for successes and take blame upon himself for failures if it kept things running smoothly. He was secure enough in his own power that he could deal generously--but firmly--with people who tried to undermine him. In a city full of huge egos, in a profession that rewards puffed-up pride, that levelheaded humility is an extremely rare trait--which is what made it so impressive and effective.
