some iconic dialogue that sounds like its from the great canon of literature but are actually from memes
I will face God and walk backwards into Hell
āIāll do whatever you wantāĀ āthen perishā
I have been through hell and come out singing
feel free to add more!
There are no gods here
Do I look like the kind of man who dies
Godās dead and soon we will be too
I thought there were no heroes left in this worldĀ
ā¢ you kneel before my throne unaware that it was built on lies
Impudent of you to assume I will meet a mortal end
This is hellās territory and I am beholden to no gods
Bury me shallow, Iāll be back
– take this gift, for the gods surely wonāt
God wishes he were me
One day, you will be face to face with whatever saw fit to let you exist in the universe, and you will have to justify the space youāve filled
Violence for Violence is the Rule of Beasts
I donāt understand why any cats like me. At least half my interactions with my roommateās cat is mild harassment (like poking him or trying to spook him, nothing cruel or painful of course, just messing with him), calling his name loudly and randomly and meowing at him when he doesnāt answer, that kind of thing. And yet he frickinā loves me. I pet him in ways youāre taught to never pet a cat and the whole time he purrs like a motorboat. It probably helps that heās a breed with that kind of temperament, but still.
All Iāve done with campus cat is give him food and sit and hang out by buildings with him, and now heāll rub up on me and come trotting over when I find him each night, and follow me to wherever I decide Iām going to sit. And after he eats heāll groom himself and sometimes ānapā a bit. I know itās probably just because Iām the food lady and I give him actual cat food, but I like to think he genuinely enjoys my company because he feels secure around me. As of today Iāve known this cat for two weeks.
Humans had enough trouble seeing other humans as human. We are not even remotely smart enough to know how smart animals are. We would have a huge existential crisis if we realised other creatures are as sentient and aware as we are.
I had the delightful opportunity to do all the storyboards and character designs for this neat project, and the team at MASHED did SO GOOD!!!!! These are just some of the designs, boards, and preproduction work that iāve been DYING to share with you guys!! Please check out the video ITS SO GOOD!!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Not sure who else to ask about this, so Iāll just throw it out there.
Does anyone have advice on what to do with a stray cat who decided Iām its friend now?
It lives on campus and hangs out in the same general area every evening, and sometimes people feed it chicken from their lunches and such. Iāve been taking it cat food for like ten days now and mostly Iāll just sit and hang out with it. If I get its attention from a ways away, it runs over, and then we go sit by a building while it eats. Now it asks for petting after finishing the food. One night it followed me all the way to my car, and if I go to another building it follows me. When I need to leave Iāve been going inside a building and leaving out the other side so it wonāt follow me, because I genuinely think this cat might try to go across the street with me.
I had a cat growing up, and my roommate currently has a cat, so itās not like Iām clueless on how to care for one. But Iām definitely a dog person. I like cats, but I donāt think I would go out and pick one to adopt, you know? I want to help this one, and itās very sweet, but I donāt know if Iām the right person, I guess. I donāt understand cats as well as dogs and I wouldnāt want to unfairly end up expecting that kind of a relationship out of it, if that makes sense. Although this does seem like the kind of cat I could harness train and take on walks through the woods.
I havenāt adopted an animal on my own before and the idea of committing to a cat that Iād have for at least the next decade kind of scares me. Iāve thought maybe Iāll foster it after we take it to the vet to be fixed (because at the very least Iād like to do that). But what if it doesnāt work out as an apartment cat? What if my roommateās cat canāt stand it? I canāt just dump it on campus again, can I? Is it better to just continue on as Iām doing things? Having a cat will limit where I can live for the rest of the time I have one. Plus thereās all the expenses. Iām literally the only other Bio grad student here right now that doesnāt have at least one cat, so none of them can take it in. Iāve asked.
Any advice? Is this something I could discuss with the vet? Thereās a shelter in town that Iām pretty sure is no-kill but itās not the greatest and I just want to do whatās best for the little thing.
