love how there's a subgenre of alan wake fanart that makes him look like this

the thing about eating in public is that sometimes you get to hear an ominous exchange between mother and child that goes “all gone?” from the baby (sitting in a high chair) and the mother says peaceably “all gone” and the baby has an existential crisis in that instant and starts shrieking. yes. me too, tiny baby.

the 5 + 1 fic where kudou and bruce pass ofa like a hot potato should be titled "you, me, and the ghost of yoichi"

I don't mean when they're elderly, they look wretched as soon as they leave puppyhood.

Skill Issue. My Shih Tzu has model-like good looks and the emptyheaded joie de vivre of an orange cat:

He can also accomplish most shapes:

I've been seeing a lot of crusty little dog positivity lately and I respect it. More people should get them, they're really the only genre of dog genuinely bred for companionship. But let's be real; they are hideous. I'm so sorry but shih-tzus look like a rug someone left bunched up soaking wet in a corner to grow mildew, but with bulging goopy eyeballs and a brachycephalic wheeze. I don't mean when they're elderly, they look wretched as soon as they leave puppyhood. Great personality, they're good little dogs and all, but it can't be denied that they're ugly as sin.

Shih Tzus of antiquity possessed powerful empathic magic that allowed them to understand and react to the moods of their owners. Additionally, they had powers of suggestion that allowed them to influence humans; this was generally used for good (such as soothing sadness) but was often used to mischievous ends too (getting food from the table).

Modern Shih Tzus are a mix of old stock and Pekingese. To that end, their telepathic powers have been lessened but they have gained camouflage. The resulting breed is notoriously quiet and resistant to training!

A world where humans have no innate magic but our pets do.

Cat magic is pretty raw and they mainly use it for getting into places they’re not supposed to. They can be trained if you’re patient, and will sometimes do favours for their owners out if the blue, but only if they want to.

Dogs have been bred for specific magic over the centuries and each breed can do certain things. Showing off your magic is an essential part of a dog show.

Horses come in horse, pegasus, and unicorn, each with their own magical talents.

Fuck knows what birds can do, I don’t trust birds.

huge fan of black myth: wukong if only because you the protagonist are going on what you think will be a lonely hero's journey, you the blank slate whose last joke was pretending to be a peach about to be eaten, but for like a majority of the journey to the end you get uncle pigsy. and uncle pigsy (infamous pervert character) looks like this:

and his backstory cutscene? hello???

if, say, one has spilled half a jug of lemonade on garage concrete and one lives in a suburbia that nevertheless attracts all kinds of insects—

can that person theoretically mop up the lemonade mess with a towel, rinsing the towel out with outdoor hose water (no soap or bleach added), and repeating the process, eliminate most of the risk of attracting ants or other insects to the lemonade mess?
