I don't think I've ever seen this much hype around just the BLURB of a new wc arc before, all these cool predictions/ideas are exciting!! I can't wait for us all to be inevitably disappointed when moonpaw is a gray cat with blue eyes playing the role of sad anxious medicine cat #4 and the voice haunting her is actually ashfur (back from th water) and its her mission to go find the moonBush and in order to do that we have to go through 400 pages of walking to the tribe

Me and my friends saw your requests, we were chuckling at how suddenly everyone becomes parents lmao, 😂

We was wondering if you do a Pure Vanilla Cookie x White Lily Cookie with a baby reader? Something like the baby having a nightmare and both Pure Vanilla and White Lily calm them down, like a lullaby or something? Up to you

Hearing your cries had woken up White Lily first. She quietly rose from where she slept with Pure Vanilla, trying so hard not to wake him as she headed out, immediately going towards the nursery so she could see you. "Oh, you poor thing..." She whispered quietly as she carefully picked you up, cradling you close as she began to gently rock you. "What troubles you, my blossom..? Did something scare you within the night?" She frowned, feeling terrible to see you in such an emotional state. "Shh, it's okay... mother Lily is here..." "And papa Vanilla..." Pure Vanilla entered the room, heading over to check on you as well. White Lily was surprised at first but accepted that even he wouldn't sleep through your cries of distress. As White Lily kept rocking you, Pure Vanilla looked through a few toys for something before getting out a small yellow music box. He turned it's wind before letting it go, a soft lullaby starting to play on it. As you listened to the music, your cries began to die down at the soft melodies. White Lily smiled a little, starting to hum along. Pure Vanilla approached with the music box too, kissing White Lily on the cheek before humming along as well, wrapping his free arm around White Lily's waist so the two could hum to you together until you could feel safe enough to sleep again.

Anyone wanna know an inconsequential BTS thing I always found a bit sus and for some reason just popped back into my brain?

Yeh? ok

When they're asked who the best dancer is and they all say J-Hope, now the other 6 all agreeing on this? I'd be suprised but it's not inherently sus, the sus is J-Hope. What's your answer my guy? Even if he thinks it's himself usually they have a someone other than themself answer they'll use, you'd think even if he wanted to say himself he'd say probably Jimin, but someone else, him not doing that is so like...

when they were rookies they were told this is what their answer should be, and they've stuck with it ever since.

i think it's funny how some people insist that Jon is purposely and maliciously overfeeding Garfield and trying to poison him with inedible food, despite the fact that it's already been very well-established that Garfield can and actively has eaten several foods that normal cats can't because he is not a normal cat.

i've seen some people say "cats can't eat chocolate! cats can't eat donuts! cats can't eat pasta! why is Jon letting Garfield eat these foods!?" but you seem to forget that while yeah, normals cats can't eat these, Garfield can. why? he is not a normal cat. Garfield has been shown on several occasions to be eating these foods multiple times without any negative effects (apart from a tummyache) because he is simply just able to. he eats them because he can. and Jon isn't purposely feeding Garfield all this stuff either. Garfield actively steals Jon's food multiple times, despite Jon trying to put up boundaries to stop Garfield several times. Jon doesn't willingly feed Garfield like this for a majority of the comic strip, Garfield just does this on his own. it isn't until later that Jon slowly starts to loosen the rules regarding what he feeds Garfield because he knows that there aren't any negative effects Garfield suffers from eating what he eats. he has been shown making lasagna specifically for Garfield multiple times (including that one comic where the "why do they call it oven" edit comes from) because Jon knows he can eat it. Jon is well-aware of Garfield's bizarre but ultimately unharmful diet, and although he doesn't like Garfield eating everything in the fridge in 5 seconds flat, he's willing to indulge Garfield on occasion because at the end of the day, Jon loves his cat and just wants what's best for him. and if what's best for him is ludicrous amounts of pasta, meat and cheese, so be it.

Garfield is also shown eating and enjoying several junk foods that would normally be toxic and unhealthy for cats, such as chocolate, donuts, soft drinks (or soda for the usa readers), ice cream, cake, several vegetables and fruits and pastries. cats literally cannot eat a majority those foods without risking death and serious illness, but Garfield doesn't have to worry about that because Garfield can eat them just fine. Garfield can also drink coffee, which i'm pretty sure is toxic to cats. not to mention, most cats are lactose intolerant and can't eat or drink dairy products like milk and cheese, however Garfield has no problem with consuming absurd amounts of these products.

also about the Jon feeding Garfield raisins thing. yes raisins are toxic to normal cats, but Jon probably wouldn't assume that with Garfield because Garfield eats several foods that are toxic to normal cats with no problem. i don't think it would be fair to blame Jon for giving Garfield raisin toast, because Jon probably assumes that because Garfield can eat stuff like chocolate and donuts and ice cream just fine, that surely he could eat something a little healthier like raisin toast. and there's no indication that raisins make Garfield sick either. he simply just doesn't like them. why? no one likes raisins, and Garfield is supposed to be a relatable character, so he also wouldn't like them. i don't know why you wouldn't like them, raisin toast is lovely, but it's a common food for people to dislike, so of course Garfield, a character known for his marketable relatability, wouldn't like them either.

tldr; Jon isn't misfeeding Garfield because Garfield's normal diet consists of everything that doesn't taste bad, and because Garfield canonically has the ability to be able to consume these foods with no issue, and i think it's silly that some people unironically judge what Garfield eats based on real life cat diets because Garfield is a cartoon character and cartoon characters aren't real.

Every time Landlady posts anything that might be a little off (or whenever people want to act stupid), they always try to talk to her as if she’s a little baby animal that they have to protect as if she isn’t an older Japanese woman simply posting her fun times with her cats online.

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is not a case of DID

Criminally, I have not been posting about Jekyll and Hyde, and that's strange because I've spent years obsessing over this story whereas I read Dracula just a year before Dracula Daily went big. To be frank, though, I did become obsessed with Jekyll and Hyde not from the book but rather Wildhorn's musical, which should be grounds to burn me at the stake as a heretic, but ya know, once I had a brain cell to be critical of the media I liked, I started seeing the flaws in that adaptation. And most adaptations.

Spoilers kinda - because while many people already know the twist of Jekyll and Hyde... they don't actually know the twist of Jekyll and Hyde.

EDIT not even a day later: Well, this inspired a big reaction. I'm sorry. I guess I was right not to express anything about my thoughts on the book.

EDIT multiple days later: you know, fuck 'em. *spits in your coffee and projects mental illness onto your meow meow* I'm not sorry for shit.

This will be subject to some minor edits because I don't like being unclear.

The idea that Jekyll is fully good and Hyde is fully bad just detracts from the whole point of the novel. In the novel, a well-loved and respected philanthropist is secretly an awful-tempered, violent man, and he gets away with his crimes with his wealth (and use of alchemy--). In most interpretations, Hyde is a fully-formed entity separate from Jekyll but in the same body. This is commonly seen in inaccurate depictions of dissociative identity disorder, and as such, many misunderstand J&H to be a case of DID. It really isn't, and to depict it as such is to submit to the same pitfalls as other ableist pieces of media seeking to daemonize mental disorders.

I do not have DID, and while I feel I have a slightly higher understanding of it than your average joe, take what I say with a grain of salt, do your own research, and consult with actual people with DID if you can.

J&H, at a glance, looks like DID, even with knowledge of the book. Jekyll is so repressed that he created a new personality, right? Not exactly. The Glass Scientists (a comic adaptation) kind of tries to play it this way, but they miss the mark, really (I wanna make a post about that one specifically). In the book, Jekyll is a fifty-year-old man, and Hyde is only a recent development. DID typically develops in childhood as a result of continued trauma. Say, a child is continually abused, and to cope with that abuse, they isolate the memories of the abuse into what is called an "alter", another personality. A system may comprise of many different alters, and every system is different, sometimes some alters may not know the others exist. Unfortunately, this fact is often used to demonize systems. "What if one of the personalities is evil???" people ask. And that is what people think J&H is: the answer to that what if.

Now, I know the ending of the novel, but I have not read it yet. So, I know the events and the explanation of J&H's case in summary but not word-for-word. Simply, Hyde is not an alter. He's a mask. All the things that Jekyll wishes he could do but can't do while retaining his squeaky-clean reputation, he does when he is Hyde. I'd compare Hyde less to repressed primal male urges or evil alternate personalities and more to intrusive thoughts.

In his day to day, Jekyll is faced with many choices to make when faced with inconveniences. When bumped into in the street, Dr. Jekyll would never push the offender down and trample them! And he certainly wouldn't harm a member of the House of Commons for asking directions! But that doesn't stop that nagging voice in his head that tells him he should. Now, I'm not saying actual voices, that would be misrepresenting a whole other mental disorder, but many people have intrusive thoughts (again, I encourage doing your own research, I do not advocate for demonizing mental illness, unintentional or otherwise). These thoughts can be very overwhelming, especially in a world where Christianity vilifies having such evil thoughts.

I'm in the camp that says Jekyll is a bad person. He is not bad simply because he has intrusive thoughts, but because he went so far as to find a way to act on a whim with no consequences for himself. Hardly even a stain on his conscience. He was there when Hyde trampled that girl. He was there when Hyde brutally murdered Sir Danvers. He was Hyde. And he hardly feels remorse, only frustration at the threat of being held accountable.

Now, people don't like when their main character isn't wholy good, especially when he serves as a sort of audience surrogate. But guess the fuck what Jekyll isn't the main character. And guess the fuck what most of the poor adaptations of J&H cast him as the main character because no one knows how to be subtler than making the title of their work the main character.

Anyway, is there a point to this? Who knows. I just must say that I find Jekyll to be a far more interesting character if you play into the fact that he's not "good". He uses Hyde as his own scapegoat. He may act on every violent urge he wishes while wearing an impossible disguise, let that mask take the blame, and put it up whenever he's had his fix. But that's the fun part: he'll never have his fix, and that's why he's an intriguing character full of such nuance greater than "there are two wolves inside of you".
