I want to write a book called “your character dies in the woods” that details all the pitfalls and dangers of being out on the road & in the wild for people without outdoors/wilderness experience bc I cannot keep reading narratives brush over life threatening conditions like nothing is happening.

I just read a book by one of my favorite authors whose plots are essentially airtight, but the MC was walking on a country road on a cold winter night and she was knocked down and fell into a drainage ditch covered in ice, broke through and got covered in icy mud and water.

Then she had a “miserable” 3 more miles to walk to the inn.

Babes she would not MAKE it to that inn.

Reblog if you also think Toph shouldn’t have been a cop.

I want to see how “unpopular” this opinion really is outside cop-worshipping Reddit.

My friends found a tiny kitten in an alley. They've taken it on themselves to get her medical care, she was looking pretty rough at first and they didn't want to risk her getting euthanized bringing her to a shelter. She's SO much better now, but multiple medications, vaccinations, and tests have been expensive

Any little bit helps, please reblog & if anyone in Norcal can take in a 7 week old kitten for foster or adoption let me know
