#the shelter is getting full

[alphaketoglutaricacid]

when toshiro got on laios ass for being inconsiderate and never thinking about how his actions affect others like he was mean abt it but hes not wrong. Thats a pretty major character flaw and a pattern of behavior for laios — w not choosing jobs that made money for namari who is in a pretty dire financial situation where she cant even get off the island and has to go adventuring in the dungeon to get out of debt, who even explicitly brought this up, eating marcilles familiar immediately even tho she was attached to it, kidnapping shuro into his party and putting him in life threatening situations without like really checking he wanted to be there…?, wanting to see if izutsumi has more than one set of nipples when dehumanization is a HUGE huge issue for her the list goes on and on and on. Like when a friend does this to you its just kinda annoying but when ur the leader u really should be checking if everyones needs r met without them telling u. Like the autism plays a factor for sure, his cultural upbringing plays a factor for sure, but as ppl regardless I think u gotta step up to meet the needs of ppl in the moment or realize u shouldnt be calling the shots. just bc its influenced by factors out of ur control does not make it not a serious character flaw. And its written as such in the story.

throw back to when a local pitmommy launched a freakishly long lasting campaign against me on nextdoor bc I told her I didn't wanna sit for her XL rescue bully, & also that it's heinously irresponsible to keep that thing in the house with her toddlers. I literally referred her to countless news stories of little kids being mauled by dogs they raised lovingly since they were puppies-let alone her giant beast that was quite possibly raised in some depraved dogfighting ring (though I'm sure the fuckass animal shelter tried to say it was a "bait dog" lol. newsflash, these dogs always go for the kill when theyre set off, if it was a meek little bait dog it would be dead). she literally implied I'm a racist (yes, really) for not wanting to read about her kids horrible painful deaths in the paper. she was like "I don't care about the stats, it's still 1 in 10,000 chance" hello?? if a plane had a 1 in 10,000 chance of crashing would you put your daughters on it or would you choose another goddamn airline that only has a 1 in a million chance of crashing???? fucks sakes

I truly don't understand why these people won't just get a fucking lab or a golden or any of the numerous breeds that are proven to be FAR less likely to snap & kill people out of nowhere. there is nothing you can get from a pit that you can't get from any other breed. I have a theory that they just want to feel like heroes for "saving" a dog that the evil bigots like me would refuse to adopt for silly reasons, like not wanting my family to be mauled. lol

okay i can't find that post any more

but i worry about the trans girls who have gaping holes where their personalities should be.

it takes a lot of effort for a person to sustain your continued spiritual and psychological existence. i've met these trans girls, and i've tried to help (or I think I've tried to help). but the deadliest part of this is that to build yourself up brick by brick requires you to fight against the currents that want you dead, that want you to be the empty husk of a human being.

that's why the whole please stay alive thing is such a resonating statement; you need to stay alive for your own sake.

in the home city that means trying to find your own shelter when rent can easily cost you a third of your wage and landlords fucking suck. that means looking for a job that won't fucking deadname or misgender you, that you can tolerate. that means surviving. that means leaving clingy and transphobic family behind and uprooting what the home city believes should be your entire support system. that means trying to live, to get to the point where you can get hormone therapy, hair removal, bottom surgery.

i can't promise that things will get better. but if you know someone like that. if you know a trans girl like that. please. keep them alive. and help them fight. help them be themselves, and grow and bloom again.

we don't have much in the home city, but there are resources. places. things that we are doing and building so that we don't lose people. allies that are fighting alongside us.

because we will win. and when we win, i hope we don't have to mourn.

to that anon I got about my last posts: if you're hurt that I'm talking about antisemitism on tumblr rather than the Israel/Palestine conflict itself then you're going to have to make your peace with a star wars blog not being an effective platform for activism.

This is the point I've been trying to hammer home perfectly illustrated. I deviated ever so slightly from what's allowed on the subject to say that I can't participate in this website's idea of 'raising awareness' (distributing real facts and misinfo alike without a care and being a bunch of fanatic Jew haters in the process) and that I don't think I'm able to critically and accurately examine every piece of news that gets passed around here, and you're taking this to assume I don't care. So no, I'm not going to spend my time trying to prove that I do care to that particular crowd.

You're upset with me for not treating this like I did fandom and assuming I value fictional characters more than real people because of it, but it's precisely because this is infinitely more important that I'm not going to be doing real people the disrespect of giving my two cents on their suffering and deaths on the same platform I did STAR WARS.

I don't understand why people are so fixated on catching Ghost and Dark types for Halloween "props" when you can dress up any mon with just a blanket with holes (as many as eyes needed) and get a x100 cuter result

[dionte-goethe]

I was inspired by that one scene in "more than anything" from Hazbin Hotel. Just thinking about the way Jiang Cheng had to face these sect leaders with a destroyed sect, no alliances (until Yanli married and even then...), and the fallout of Wei Wuxian's actions. He just doesn't want Jin Ling to have to deal with all the terrible things he had to deal with as a young sect leader, he's tried to protect him from all that, when JL wants him to step back because JC could tear himself apart protecting JL...

the people in the tags understand me. starembers art is super pretty but also weird at times.

[sweetbabymantykes]

Still a bit put up, and I sorta missed the boat due to being stuck in a cave, but.

Do not gift someone an ice-type pokèmon unless you know they are capable and willing to care for it.

Most ice-types need ready access to cold or sub-freezing environments. If you do not have one, they will make one, whether you like it or not. It's very cute to have a bunch of Snom around for the holidays! It's less cute when the snow is gone and you have to feed them as much food in one sitting as a human would eat in a whole day.

Not to say every single ice type requires a cold environment. Sneasel, Spheal, and Swinub are well known for being good companions in just about any environment, but be aware that they're all still adapted for cold environments. They will regularly seek out heat sources like radiators and hot springs, even in the wild, but keeping them outside for long periods of time on very hot days or in very hot, dry locales will overheat them faster than most pokèmon.

Please don't gift ANY pokèmon unless you know that the recipient is willing and able to care for it, but especially this time of year, be mindful of ice-types.

[heystephen]

no literally like im so Tired

[smolstarthief]

So I was looking up the protag of "Lies of P" for potential outfit refs for my own PT Akechi redesign and then my mind just suddenly shifted to, "Akechi with a prosthetic arm???"

[fixing-bad-comic-art]

I'm about to do something I've never done on this blog.... but i need to pad it. need to earn it. Give me your worst. The stuff liefeld would wince at.

[knifeslidez]

[skrunksthatwunk]

BREAKING NEWS i said yeah on the phone and rascal meowed back at me from across the room hehe

[dragons-and-yellow-roses]

My little old lady dog has never liked me, no matter how many French fries I've bribed her with, but tonight she climbed into my lap and is laying down and won't move. At first I think it was because I was eating, but I finished the food and now she's layed down and cozy and won't move. I'm trapped under a little old lady dog who normally hates me. I want to sleep. What do I do.

People need to keep their fucking cats inside and fucking neuter them i am so sick of stressing about strays and fucking other peoples cats coming into my yard begging for food shitting out kittens getting mauled to death getting bit by snakes KEEP YOUR DAMN CATS INSIDE OR THEY WILL DIE

[alliswyattonthewesternfront]

i will obviously be sad when Jadzia dies, but she's lived way longer than a cat with her many Problems should be expected to, and with a higher quality of life than her last owner gave her. and i am reframing the way i think about her approaching death by trying to focus on the fact it will mean we can introduce different animals into the household.

Jazzy is pretty reactive/aggressive to all other animals. she tolerated the foster kittens in the past, but we still had to be careful never to leave them alone with her. the few times she's been exposed to a dog (supervised, of course) she hid for a bit, and then tried to go Assassin Mode. birds, rodents, reptiles? forget it.

by contrast, Ishka can be convinced that almost any animal is her baby. she views all living things as babies that just don't know it yet. i would be fine with indifference/non-interference, of course, but if we got a guinea pig, i would not be shocked to find her treating it like a weird kitten.
