Rory has been trending a little bun-obsessed lately, probably because we have lots of bunnies in our condo complex and she has to practice a lot of impulse control as she can't chase or really fixate on them, so I've been looking for ways to help her fulfill her bunny-murder urges safely.

Unfortunately we don't have a ton of areas I comfortable coursing her (letting her chase buns until she can't see them or catches them) because our bunnies are mostly urban animals BUT I was at the bougie pet store for unrelated reasons and they had dried rabbit feets which gave me an idea!

I bought a few and got some paper bags and put Rory in another room while I hid them around the apartment to sniff out, destroy, and eat. I figured it would satisfy some of her murder urges, even if it's not the whole predation sequence.

She was pretty happy about it! I'll try to add this to our rotation of enrichment activities and maybe get a few rabbit feet to chuck at her outdoors sometimes. Hopefully it'll help vent those bunny frustrations so they don't build up and hurt my good dog behaviours.

so much for treating those boys as their own individual characters first ig

can you elaborate on your feelings on vassago?

this blogs becoming what i use to kill time while i wait for my laundry to finish hi. first thing i did today was spill my entire water bottle on my bed. i think vassago is, at best, introduced too early, and at worst, shouldn't exist.

best case is that i think they gave him a poor introduction with functionally no personality outside of 'are you winning son' 'OMG STOLAS!' i genuinely don't get what people like about him. he doesn't do or say anything substantial. it's bc he's yaoi bait and that's it

worst case i think he's just a bad character for the plot. it seems like this dude has some history with stolas (if we ignore that stolas awkwardly does not acknowledge the weird fan behaviour whatsoever lmfaoooo) when stolas was like…established to be living this miserable lonely friendless life. no one likes stolas and he's not respected by his peers. he seems to have pretty bad people skills, and that's being generous. the one real light he has in his life aside from his affair partner (an affair of which should be motivated by that loneliness), allegedly his daughter…and fucking guy we've never heard of until now hiii vassago hi!!! i'll eat my words if i'm wrong but i can't really fathom how stolas having 1 guy who's been in his corner this whole time aids in his narrative, like, at all.

utterly baffling introduction. it's awkward and bizarre. it acts like we should already know who this guy is, almost. if he's going to be important later, fine, but he should've been introduced later then. mastermind was basically nothing. it's barely an introduction at all. equivalent of like, someone asking me to introduce myself, and all i say for 5 minutes is I UFUCKING LOVE THE COLOUR YELLOW, like ok. what else man

There’s so many layers to Sejanus being devastated by Marcus’s fate.

He hates how the districts are treated by the Capitol, hates the cruelty of the Hunger Games, he feels the same emotional pain he would have felt being a tribute himself, if not even more, having to watch completely safe from afar, unable to do anything to put an end to the senseless slaughter, while guilt gnaws at him for not risking getting picked to participate himself, for having escaped.

No innocent child deserves that, and it gets even worse when one of the children picked is someone he personally knows, someone he used to share a routine with, someone he used to spend hours alongside in a classroom.

And that child isn’t just someone, that child is Marcus, the kind boy who, while not even being his friend, went out of his way to help him when he got hurt, completely unprompted, just out of the goodness of his heart.

That boy is a testament to what Sejanus already knows, that everyone seems to keep forgetting, which is that humanity at its core is and can be better than how it’s currently behaving. Not to mention how that was probably the last time Sejanus ever experienced an act of such pure, unconditional kindness. And that simple gesture was so impactful on him, it was enough to cement Marcus’s presence in his heart for all those years and then the rest of his life, and it no doubt helped shape Sejanus into the person he became. Someone as good as Marcus shouldn’t be going through all of that, and it drives Sejanus crazy. If the Hunger Games were too much for him to handle before, now that Marcus is involved, they're unbearable.

But there’s more to Marcus. He is also a safe memory to Sejanus, one who undoubtedly often comforted him when he was feeling at his worst. And he’s one of the main things Sejanus thinks about when he thinks of District 2, his home. Home, which despite the fact that he lived there during the war, despite all the suffering he witnessed, despite the reality of the current living conditions there, is still Sejanus’s happy, safe place; it’s the place he belongs to, the place that could fix almost everything for him. But he can never return there. It has to exist only as a memory, kept safely locked away and untouched in his mind and heart.

But when Marcus arrives in the Capitol, he brings his home with him too, he is the physical manifestation of it. Sejanus’s desperation doesn’t just stem from the fact that it’s Marcus, the innocent, kind-hearted boy, undeserving of such cruelty; but also from the fact that that’s his Marcus as well, the one whose existence is synonymous to his home, his sweet boy from his memories, his comfort. Marcus being there doesn’t only mean the pointless, unjust death of a good person, Marcus being there also means the death of Sejanus’s home, its image no longer far away, safe and untouched, kept only in his mind.

Now it’s here and crumbling in front of his eyes. He already knew the reality of things, but it was just that: knowledge. Now he’s face to face with it, face to face with the fact that neither Marcus or his home are or will ever be safe. And, worst of all, he has no way to save them, or anyone else, he’s powerless and completely hopeless against the cruelty of the Capitol, against their fate; and now more than ever, since he’ll have to witness the death of the boy whose memory so often brought him hope before.

In the end all that’s left of both of them, for Sejanus, is a small chunk of marble, made from the same material as his District and carved into the shape of a heart, because that’s exactly where Sejanus’s own is: home with Marcus. We learn he has carried it to his new life in Twelve, immediately before we learn the only pictures he’s taken with him are of his family and his classmates in Two, of him, home for one the last times, standing with Marcus right behind him. That heart is the last physical object connected to Two and Marcus that he’ll have with him for the rest of his life, the last symbol of what he lost and will never get back, of what he couldn’t save or help.

But it’s also the one object connected to them that he brought with him when he regained faith, when he felt like he could finally make a difference and actually help people in the districts; the last symbol that things could still get better and not all hope is lost.

For Sejanus Marcus is a kind and innocent kid; he’s the good in humanity; he’s a safe memory; he’s the marble heart, because he is hope and comfort, and despair and helplessness, and home, and because he is deeply rooted in his own heart

As disappointing as it was that we didn't get to see how Rio and Agatha met

How Agatha won Rios heart

How after Nicky died, they fell into each other time and time again

Until Agatha broke that toxic cycle by hiding behind the power of the Darkhold (it happens in my head, so it must be true)

The one positive is that we can come up with that by ourselves

They can have their first and last kiss in a million different ways

Until something else comes out to contradict us, the only limit is our imagination

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH BABWNB IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!!! <3<3 (sorry I just had to shout it out somewhere after seeing your recent asks about it😅)

i have also been working on the next chapter of building a boat with no blueprints!!! (3 guesses on what my holiday project is for this year lol)

here is a lil snippet!

“Good,” Obi-Wan decides, relaxing slowly. That sounds right. That sounds good. “He is heavier as well, I’ve noticed that too.” Crys’ mouth twitches at the corner. “Yes, General, you have been doing a good job feeding him  as well.” If Obi-Wan were twenty years younger and still prone to egotistical displays of self-satisfaction, he’d preen at these words. As it is, he only moves his hand from his hip to stroke through the youngling’s hair, flattening an errant piece of blonde. “Well, truly, the praise should go to Anakin—and perhaps Captain Rex, who has been such a good sport about Anakin pilfering his pudding cups.” Anakin cranes his head around to look at him with a very serious expression painted across his small features. “I’d never steal food from you, Obi,” he promises. “Never. You need it.” “Do you know what, Ani’ika,” Crys says, “I have been telling him that for years. Perhaps your buir will listen to you.” “I believe this is Anakin’s medical appointment,” Obi-Wan says lightly, dropping both hands back onto the youngling’s shoulders, thumb brushing along the raised, pink scar of the incision at the back of his neck. “I am here only in camaraderie.” “And in a very clever attempt to avoid a Council meeting, no?” Crys asks, turning away to pick up a device from a small table. “Commander Cody has requested that I inform him the moment that this check-in concludes so that he may, ah. Well, the word ambush was used, sir.” “Was the word mutiny tossed around as well?” Obi-Wan replies dryly. The commander will, of course, get his wish. He’s very stubborn in that way. But Obi-Wan was going to eventually attend that meeting anyway, and he would like that on record.

guys i'm insecure about my fic

[sugaploom]

"saltburn doesnt have any messages its just a wacky movie" its literally about how one mans lust and obsession for something and someone out of his grasp cause him to commit horrible acts to an entire family. he forfeits everything that he Is and becomes something crazy and new and fucked up in order to accomplish this goal. whats not clicking

[drag-on-dragoon]

ive made so many posts about how danganronpa 1 never should have had any sequels at all and the mere idea of doing that was the stupidest thing on earth but at some point if youre gonna keep making followup games you gotta like. accept responsibility that thats what youre doing and at least try to make them good.

[eyestrain-addict]

I need more insane lestat fanfics. I need him to be obsessing over Louis to a -not even toxic, beyond toxic. RADIOACTIVE- level. I need him thinking fucked up thoughts in his fucked up head. Like I need the horror of his love for louis written down.

... but I suppose since I have read the few that fit this description, I'll just read Hannibal fics and pretend 😔

[biblicalhorror]

For the record I truly don't think the season is above criticism lmao I just think a lot of the criticism I've seen is way more serious than it needs to be

[aria0fgold]

I finished the other fic now too... ueueueueueueueue... I love it as well... It's so amazing... this author's writing is so amazing...

[xxgoldie]

ughhh every time I write a dialogue focused fic I get paranoid that it's really boring for some reason. like I feel like more should be happening.

[sshcomic]

You have given me a great joy in life with your Renkaza au

May I ask, what happened to the rest of the Kamado family? Did they get their canon ending or are they with Nezuko as they try to deal with her new demonification?

oh yay im glad you're enjoying it so far! 🥰

nezuko's actually with her brother in the box, like in canon lol. i just havent drawn her--or inosuke or zenitsu--in the panels we've seen, but they're there!

as for the rest of the kamados... i actually havent decided LOL. my instinct is to save everyone, since this is a light-hearted comic strip, but also i'm not sure i'd be able to reliably write that since it involves more plot than the "stupid jokes loosely following canon" i mostly have written down aha. so i suppose it's a surprise for now, even for myself.

i guess we'll see!

[chartreuxcatz]

I neeed to get outta this place, dude. Need to leave. Run run run. Fall into my friends' embrace. Just lay together with some anime playing in the background. Just take a breather. For a million years.
