I’ll never understand why anthropomorphic animal cartoons like Robin Hood and Zootopia will go to the trouble of creating character designs that are meant to be understood as “attractive” or even “sexy” to the human audience but explicitly avoid showing interspecies romances between anthropomorphic animals. Why is THAT weird but, like, trying to make rabbits recognizably sexy-coded to humans isn’t?

Whenever media wants to emphasise how extreme a character’s off-brand drug use is, they always just name-drop a big animal, like “oh, he takes horse tranquilisers”. If you really want to get the point across, I think you should go with an unexpected animal instead. Like, that powder he’s snorting? Its only approved use is treating sexual dysfunction in burrowing owls. We have no idea what it’s doing to him, but it can’t be anything good.

We 💖 CATS!

I showed this post to my boyfriend and he tried to take his shirt off like a girl and 

uh

yeah

we should encourage kids to have less realistic goals in life. so many people asked me what I wanted to do after college and I responded with absolutely bonkers shit like ‘a computer programmer’ or ‘lawyer’

fuck dude, neither of those are anything, they’re nothing, not even half-way aligned with who I am as a person. We might as well go all the way now, like

“What do you want to do with your life?”

“Hoping to single-handedly reform the supercontinent of Pangea at the end of all this. Thanks for asking.”
