caged animal

You poked and you prodded

And now you get to see

What happens when a 

caged animal

Has had enough.

Look back at the scars I left 

and remember:

One is not weak 

simply because they have been damaged.

The hurt you caused

Only fed the frustration.

Deal with the empty cage 

Now that your pet has left you behind.

Here are collected the best lions I've encountered in my research to date.

Wazzer is underweight and it's so stressful. I'm giving him extra feedings but I'm finding that he eats most when I literally heat his fancy salmon pate in the microwave and feed it to him on my fingertips, one tiny bit at a time. Tomorrow I'm going to try using an actual silver sugar spoon to feed him, because it's one of the smallest spoons I own.

I didn't have stress before I had kittens but they're just too cute.

It’s a toxic desire to try to be perfect. I realized later in life that the challenge is not to be perfect. It’s to be whole.

Daredevil // Matt Murdock, certainly the character with the deepest background story from all Marvel Heroes ❤️

I used to believe that bugs were little robots. Lots of people do, it’s the prevailing opinion next to “i’ve never thought about it”. Then I watched a mother wasp mourn her child. An animal who stretched after a nap and did little dances when her daughters returned from flight. Now she is opening her fourth capped hexagon and finding a pale white stillborn. She grasps the baby gently in her jaws and does not put it down for over 24 hours. Carries her loss, pacing back and forth the length of her enclosure. It is not the behavior of a robot.

So I think about the prior odds. Scenario A, bugs are robots. Why do I believe that? Because they are so tiny. Because if they are not robots then my world [where “insect exterminator” is a job title and I can buy a can of mass death at home depot] does not make sense. They must be insignificant.

The wasp makes me reconsider. Scenario B: her kind are like mine. cry when we are sad and happy when we play. Has this feature evolved many times? Or is it common to all the children of the precambrian worm? Every shark in the ocean swimming in their own feelings. Every bird and every cat knowing the thrill of being alive? The wasp made me realize that my whole moral picture is wrong. We’re not alone on this planet,

me when I’m filled with an indescribable amount of yearning for a fictional man

[boilingcowboy]

absolutely going batshit insane over the parallels between Sarah and Ellie

It’s the same fucking look. It’s the same look in their eyes. the same fucking thing.

They both hold on to him the same way. the exact same way.

And he holds on to them the exact same way. the exact fucking way.

His daughters look at him and hold him the exact same way.

And he holds on to his daughters the exact same way. He even has the same look on his face.

fucking bawling over this. I am so going insane over this rn.
