Man and Dog by Siegfried Sassoon

Who’s this—alone with stone and sky? It’s only my old dog and I— It’s only him; it’s only me; Alone with stone and grass and tree.

What share we most—we two together? Smells, and awareness of the weather. What is it makes us more than dust? My trust in him; in me his trust.

Here’s anyhow one decent thing That life to man and dog can bring; One decent thing, remultiplied Till earth’s last dog and man have died.

The @ultramarinaa’s tma cat au has spread to the whiteboard. No one is safe. This is propaganda.

If my friends need to see me spiral into cat filled obsession then so dose my entire chemistry class

Another whiteboard gem my friend created

[concept ¿?]

I have such a stupid tendency that if I like a character, then I have to draw it in Hello Kitty or Garfield hoodie [or it can be any other item of clothing]. But since the cof developers have already made a hoodie with HK, then I did with Garf:³

Saw this comfort character trend and wanted to make a little piece for it.

I love the phrase “which could mean nothing”. It’s SUCH a good phrase and really succinctly explains the backbone of all rpf tinhatting. Aren’t all rpf ships exhibiting behaviours which could mean nothing?

Whenever someone separates Krux and Acronix it's like separating these two

Its either both of them or neither

To a Dog, writer unknown

The rugs lie smooth; the curtains are not torn, I haven't missed a shoe or rag today. The house is dreadfully still, until I wish I heard four feet come pitpat down the hall.

The soft moist nose that pushed against my hand The paw that touched me to demand its wish, The pleading lively eye, the plaintive bark— What sweet annoyances they now would seem!

Update on Simon's adaptation of The Magic Faraway Tree!

Based on “The Faraway Tree” series of novels for children, “The Magic Faraway Tree” follows Polly (Foy) and Tim (Garfield) and their children Beth, Joe and Fran — a modern family who find themselves forced to relocate to the remote English countryside. Soon after the family’s arrival in the countryside, the children discover a magical tree and its extraordinary and eccentric residents including treasured characters Moonface, Silky, Dame Washalot and Saucepan Man. At the top of the tree, they are transported to spectacular and fantastical lands and, through the joys and challenges of their adventures, the family learn to reconnect and value each other for the first time in years. “To have two actors of the quality of Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy is a dream for any screenwriter,” Farnaby said. “I have long admired their warmth, wit and lightness of touch. Plus they have the power to imbue their characters’ complexities that I don’t have the power to write… I mean, even Enid Blyton might be impressed we got Spider-Man and the Queen.”
