I Had A VIVID Mental Image Of What The Extinguished Sun Looked Like After The Eclipse. Nothing Directly

Never let someone make you feel bad or weird for what you like; we’re all different and like different things, and that’s ok!

I physically cannot make this decision theyre both the best and also all the eliminated ones are the best too help

FINAL ROUND! THIS IS IT, THIS IS WHAT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!

I absolutely adore that the number of legs of both her and her dad is in question. Leg number uncertainty is clearly genetic

Frank I wish I had a pet dog :( I love dogs loads. What sort of dog would I get? I like big dogs. Can you please show me a picture of my ideal big dog?

OK this sounds really fun so I’m going to respond by describing my dog (who is not a big dog, just average-sized) and then saying something about where to get a big dog.

My dog is a border collie who has spent most of the year since she was a puppy living outside with me (but I’ve gotten her inside for the first time for the winter, and I’m going to try to keep her indoors for the next three months). She is incredibly smart, very curious, easy to train and trainable, but very sensitive to praise and her self-esteem is fragile.

A typical week for her:

- Monday: lots of barking and other activities in the house, maybe a visit to the library for a few hours to help me finish some book

- Tuesday: walks in the afternoon when the library is closed

- Wednesday: walks, usually with another dog as a companion but sometimes by myself

- Thursday: lots of walking and barking when I leave for the store and then when I come back.

- Friday: very tired out but lots of fun walks with my husband.

- Saturday: lots of playing in my yard until it’s time for walks.

- Sunday: sleep! (Well, most of the time.)

She’s also a weird one – after spending most of her time outside she really loves being inside, while she doesn’t like spending time with humans when we’re not inside the house. (She also really likes running laps around the local track at the gym – I suspect she’d like to be the one who did that.) I’d rather not have her be out on a leash in most situations but I’m willing to try because her leash training has gone well for her so far. I think I might get her a harness that would let her run laps without making her feel pressured, though.

I don’t really want to talk about her too much unless you ask, but she’s got a lot going for her.

I love how the #the axolotl tag is all gravity falls, but the #axolotl tag is about half gravity falls and half random unrelated axolotl content

i would love to hear more of your thoughts on michael shelley!!! 🌀🚪✨

you're in luck because i've sat on thoughts about him for years and i finally feel like i can articulate them. because michael shelley is such a well written case of tragic horror in the horror tragedy podcast. and, despite my criticisms of season 5, it really did do an excellent job in concluding his character arc with the gertrude backstory episode. in a podcast where a common in-universe theme is that knowledge, and the pursuit of knowledge, is dangerous, michael is a subversion in that his ignorance of the horrors of the world he lived in not only didn't save him, but was intentionally engineered to make him vulnerable to exploitation and harm (which, on a broader scope, emphasises the futility of the world of the magnus archives - regardless of whether you participate in or turn a blind eye to the systems at play, involved or uninvolved, you are not safe).

furthermore, i really appreciate the subversion of traditional tropes of the sacrifice as a typically female figure taken advantage of by a male father, brother, or lover, whose tragic and horrible death is used to motivate him (whether to greatness or self-destruction), with michael being a son sacrificed by his mother (or grandmother) figure, who never actually loved him and whose 'frail' and 'nurturing' qualities were weaponised incompetence used to gaslight and manipulate him - and who continues to operate successfully (at least in terms of what can be said to be 'success' in a world like the magnus archives) without being haunted by any apparent doubt about the decision she made, or any hesitation to use others in similar ways, following this betrayal. which makes the fact that he's sewn into the fabric of a being that represents lies in their most insidious form, used as a weapon to devour people and destroy their lives, all the more abhorrent in hindsight - he is forced to not only relive his trauma in an endless loop (or spiral, if you will), but to become the mechanism which enables it. michael is taken to the edge of something evil (at least from a human perspective), and pushed over the threshold with no hope of recourse. there's almost a reverse orphic quality to it - he descends into terrifying other world, one which exists side-by-side with but fundamentally seperate from his own, against his will, and looking back will only cause him pain as he's assaulted by memories of a life he will never be able to reach.

i think a lot of people forget to look past the surface with michael, despite there being an entire episode dedicated to doing so. which is understandable, he's a very outwardly expressive character - but this is intentional obfuscation to hide an incredibly damaged victim whose hatred of this part of himself is integral to his entire reason for being, and which the rejection of causes him to be unmade, incapable of existing as this contradictory nightmare any longer. it's a mercy killing, and yet it is violent and painful, because michael cannot and should not exist, and excising that graft used to muzzle the distortion is as agonising as latching it into place was in the first place. when michael-the-distortion says about michael shelley "he was born. he was pointless. and he should have died." there is an implicit longing there, a rage at the way he was used, his decisions made for him and used to imprison something else instead of ever being allowed to exercise any measure of free will. because michael shelley probably would have died for the archivist, given the opportunity, but he never got the choice.
