yuuta exhibits such previously abandoned, recently adopted dog behavior. incredibly anxious all the time, even though nobody’s out to get him or leave him behind. waits for you to return home or from school or from work excitedly, just to see you when you walk through the door. follows you around senselessly, hovering in your space just for the sake of companionship. initiates affection in prodding ways—starts off next to you, then a hand on your thigh, then deems it safe to lay all the way down, then slowly pushes his head into your lap. gets up whenever you need to get up, and resumes his position as soon as you’re ready. brings you gifts as a sign that he’s thinking of you, and maybe because he likes the affection it brings out in you, maybe because he likes the gentle affirming touches of a hand in his hair or a pinch to his cheek. rests his head on your stomach or his chin on your shoulder when he’s sleepy, stays there, immobile, and will not move unless absolutely necessary. sometimes he gets surprised when he hears you calling for him, there’s a moment of disbelief as he thinks “me? really? you need me?” but it’s very quickly overshadowed by this compulsive need to show up, to please, to do anything for you, which is why he always answers when you call. he doesn’t realize that he has puppygod eyes, especially when he’s excited or confused, but he does and it’s incredible endearing. very reluctant to share your space or attention after a while, considers that to be sacred and he won’t risk being let go or lost again, so as a safety precaution, he keeps himself right by you, waits for you always.

I got some cool succulents and immediately potted them up, you should come look at them.
This is Haworthia obtusa v. 'Glacier.' There's a lot of variation in what different haworthias look like, but I have been coveting the ones with little see-through "windows" immensely lately, and so I bought two! This is one of them. She's so fucking cool, I love her.
This is the other one! Haworthia cooperi var. truncata. This one actually came with four very mature babies attached that I gently twisted off and planted in a different pot, so I'm very excited about the amount that I got with this particular order. She's a teeny bit beat up from the shipping so I can't wait to see her glow up.
And lastly from today's mail order is my Echeveria 'Snow Peach'! She's quite small and doesn't have too many roots compared to the others, but I have confidence she'll root just fine. When in correct conditions and with farina intact, this particular echeveria turns a really pretty dusty pale pink from the center, hence the name, and I am really hoping that I can get here there. +^+ Regardless, the leaf shape is adorable.
I repotted my two bigger succulents, the Pachyveria scheideckeri (left) and Echeveria agavoides 'Love Fire' (right) and have been acclimating them to the outdoors in hopes of getting some sun stress coloration out of them! The 'Love Fire' should hopefully start turning a very neat red color. (And the burn marks on the pachyveria are not my fault, those were there at the nursery. qq)
And lastly, I repotted and watered my Sedeveria 'Pink Ruby' and the furled center opened right up! I heard some succulents do this but I didn't realize that this was one of them. Hopefully this means that watering her was the right move. I'm always so nervous to drown and rot them, haha.
god you know this whole show has been building up to the trial. in episode 6 we briefly see Claudia and Madeleine being happy and then the trial starts and you can't help but think 'Claudia had barely left the nest, she deserved to have more time'. but of course that's the tragedy. the parent burying the child, a perversion of natural order. Claudia was inspired (at least in part) by Anne Rice's daughter who died at 5 from leukemia. there is no version of this story where Claudia lives.
