newfoundland is a magical place.

it's so easy to forget that 'oh right. we're in newfoundland' when i get up before dawn, look outside and catch movement, only to see a big ol heckin rabbit scampering around in the yard, and i freak out with glee because OMG A RABBIT AAAAAAAAA.

but this is newfoundland. of course there are animals.

this is the same place where the other summer kait and i had to pause our late-night marathon watching to see if the weird sounds outside were a sick cat, only to see at the end of the road a goshdang fox was just moseying around, trying to get some lady attention.

it always takes me by surprise.

especially the other week when there was an honest TO FUCK, GODDAMN MOOSE. A HECKIN MOOSEN. OUT BEHIND OUR PLACE. WHAT. I SAW IT MOVE BEYOND THE TREES. I SAW THE ELDRITCH MONSTROSITY. IT WAS SO QUIET AND STEALTHY.

ffffffffffffffffffffuck, even when i remember 'ah right, this is newfoundland, nature's everywhere', i still don't expect close encounters WITH A HECKIN MEGAFAUNA. PREHISTORY'S STUBBORN HORROR REMNANT. FOREST FAE UNPREDICTABLE GIANT HERBIVORE NFLD MASCOT. MOOSE. AAAAAAAAAAAA.

#if you were to ask me what wild animal i fear?#'oh do you fear wolves'? not really. i've never lived anywhere with them in abundance.#'what about bears'? yeah sure but i haven't lived close to the bigger aggressive species and don't see them much #'oh so what do you fear alyson?'#moose #moose are unnerving #but above everything else: moose are unpredictable #gigantic herbivore with zero fucks to give #that's a recipe for disaster #ramblings #'oh but carnivores are sooo much more danger-'NO #NO #you don't fuck with a moose #let's leave it at that #obviously they don't terrify me like they used to. but still.#nfld #fascinating animals #but ooooof
