When it was discovered that Zalim (ironically meaning, cruel) was in the company of two very young cubs, those at Ranthambore feared the worst: that, as an adult male, he would kill them. Instead, he surprised naturalists with his “motherly” behavior when he took in his twin daughters following the death of their mother.

At this time, science stated that tigers were only as social as mothers and cubs could go and that tiger fathers rarely interacted with their offspring. Zalim changed that when he was witnessed, month after month, caring for his daughters and teaching them how to hunt. Their relationship eventually ceased when the two girls were shifted to Sariska Tiger Reserve and Zalim went on to father another litter with the then-dominant tigress Sundari, the so-called Lady of the Lakes. When she too mysteriously disappeared, Zalim unsurprisingly took care of their cubs as well.

So I'm rewatching Becoming Part 2, and it's Spike's idea to get Drusilla to hypnotise Giles, and he doesn't seem at all surprised by how it all plays out, that Giles sees her as Jenny. In fact, he looks downright smug, almost like he anticipated it.

Do we think that Spike knows how to get Giles to talk because he knows the only way anyone could get him to talk? Like, Angel wastes hours on violence, but Spike figures out what'll work the minute he puts his mind to it.

Spike, who can take any amount of punches in a fight and keep going but, in Lie to Me, abandoned a fight the minute Dru was in danger.

Spike, who has killed two Slayers in the past century, but has just struck a deal with one to get Dru back.

Spike, who stood there and watched as Giles tried to kill Angel for what he did to Jenny.

Of course Spike was the one to figure it out. Because after all, why does a man do what he mustn't? For her.

Was just informed that "any sufficiently deep enthusiasm is indistinguishable from academic rigor" and hoo boy we are really in a crisis of anti-intellectualism.

Spent tonight at a local short film festival. One of the shorts was made by two 12 year olds in their backyard and it was the best short of the entire night

if you're writing and find yourself thinking 'this is too weird/gross/offputting/esoteric/ambitious/catered to my specific interests + sure to push away a broader audience' that is the devil speaking and it is a lie. you are already firmly on the right path and you need to double down
