good news for some, Asajj isn't a one-off character, she'll return, and they have an actual explanation for her death up their sleeves

hey, if you meet somebody and learn that they have an "unconventional" pet (I'm mainly talking about insects and fish and reptiles but I've seen people do this with rats and mice too), PLEASE don't then tell them at length how disgusting or scary or freaky or awful it is???
its sad that this has to be said, but pets are often beloved members of the family and that INCLUDES your co-workers tarantula that he loves and dotes on and has taken care of for years and that INCLUDES your classmate's python with the amazing tricked out enclosure and that INCLUDES your friend's aquarium full of leeches or terrarium stocked only with isopods or their little gaggle of hissing cockroaches.
yes, even if you DO think it's gross and would never own one yourself, yes EVEN if you have a PHOBIA of the animal in question! there are so many ways to kindly and maturely let that person know that you'd rather not interact with or see the animal than just roasting this person's pet unprompted. being afraid doesn't give you a license to be cruel.
i had a pet mantis for a while in my first year of uni (her name was kate bush) and let me tell you, after raising her by hand and watching her grow and flourish, after hours spent with her keeping me company on my potted plant while I worked, after saving her molts like baby teeth and her first egg case like i was a proud grandparent, i was as much of a sobbing heap the day i had to put her down due to illness as ive been when cats or dogs have died. and the friends that consoled me and appreciated the love i had for that amazing little creature DESPITE BEING SHIT SCARED OF HER are the friends i am most grateful for!
if you can't personally see the beauty and value in less "charismatic" animals then im sorry for you, but at least be respectful to your fellow human beings who love them.

I dunno how or why to phrase this but I rarely like powerfantasy stories of omnipotence or being all-powerful or whatever. Toying with the universe and people's lives, calling yourself a god, that stuff creeps me out! It makes me uncomfortable! Why would you want to treat others as less than you like that!! Why would you not want to experience the beauty of being one with everyone around you!!

conflicting desires for lyke and duvall in sangfielle season 2:
-duvall low-key resenting lyke over the chine thing
-lyke high-key resenting duvall over the oratorio thing and EXPECTING duvall to resent him over chine but instead it's the same one-sided tension that they had on the jade moon
i want them to be involuntary friends. I want it to look like a huge 8ft tall straight* guy calling his obviously gay best friend a wretched bitch and everyone is a little uncomfortable about it except for duvall, who may or may not be behind lyke's bizarrely bad luck when it comes to flies landing in his drinks.
(*i don't think lyke is straight but i do think he's the type of bisexual man that people assume is straight)

Another day, another suspiciously yellow and black animal showing up that i have named Bill.
This poor injured swallowtail was in the backyard, so i offered him a variety of flowers then moved him to a safe spot since i cant really do more to help him. He kept trying to climb my arms, but i politely asked him not to try to crawl on my face and i think he agreed.
When I was grabbing some flowers down the road, there was also a flock of goldfinches flitting around the thistles to add to my yellow-animals tally, but i couldn't get any good pics of them.
Between the goldfinches that have shown back up for the first time since june, this butterfly, and Bill the Caterpillar (who has since crawled off somewhere), I'm starting to debate whether spending the past 2 weeks joking about being possessed by bill cipher was a good idea.
Also i came face to face with a deer while out alone last night and i didn't like the way she took a step toward me when i held my hand out. She bowed to me so i bowed back and after about a minute of staring she decided to wander away.

I'm convinced every person that watched miraculous as a teenager and it became a vital part of them, even after not watching the show in so long went through a marvel phase around 2019-2021 and is now in a dc phase.
