ancient greek word of the day: κακοθερής (kakotherēs), unfitted to endure summer heat

poor things, well we should definitely make this easier on them by never repeatedly mentioning their name and deeds on the "reblog things forever" website

Most annoying thing to remember is that you're litterally just a homosapien. You're just a very smart animal. If you feel like shit, imagine you're an exotic pet for some alien species and do what they'd do to keep you healthy. You gotta be well cared for. Animal abuse is a crime for a reason

"My pet human, Greg, hasn't left his bed in a long time. He's just scrolling his phone all day" Greg needs enrichment. Add enrichment in his enclosure and take him on walks

"Greg has been super lethargic and sad recently for seemingly no reason" Greg need vitamins, take him outside for some vitamin D and fresh air. Perhaps a picnic

"Greg won't sleep even though he's been super lethargic" Greg needs a schedule, especially for the lights in his enclosure.

"Greg has been super distant recently and keeps crying to sad music" Humans are pack animals, he needs to hug another human and hang out. Perhaps pack bond with a rock together

"Greg has been flailing around and panicking, his breathing is way faster than it should be" Greg is overwhelmed. Take Greg out of the situation and give him time to calm down. Perhaps somewhere cozy with tea and a movie

"Greg won't do what he needs to do" Train him. Humans do great with positive reinforcement, give him little treats when he's doing good

"Greg he's been super anxious and tired, he can't seem to enjoy his days" Humans needs to move around. Give Greg something to exercise with. Things like stretching, weight lifting, walking, or even dancing will help

"Even though I've taken really good care of Greg, he still has been having issues" Greg is ill, take him to the doctor. You might need a specialist (therapist, optometrist, oncologist, etc)

I know it feels patronizing, and I know it feels embarrassing or that you're "just giving into the clichés", but you are literally just a creature. You need to sleep/eat on time, you need enrichment, and you need to take care of your social needs. Humans are complicated animals, but they are also beautiful and all deserve proper care. This obviously isn't a perfect analogy, nothing is, but if you saw your friend taking care of their pet the way you take care of yourself, would you be concerned?

The fact that animals that care for their young will sometimes adopt others' lost or orphaned young to raise along their own is just funny to me. I know that it's all hormonal and there's no conscious thought involved in it, but the internal logic of it is so funny.

"Baby = success. More baby = more success. I have one baby and I found four other baby. I have five baby. I am being so fucking successful right now."

What I hate about the fandom's desire to constantly drag out Aveline's "shut up, whore" is that it so obviously pulls it out of the context for the exact purpose of strawmanning both Isabella and Aveline to further their bitch fit.

That companion dialogue is such a good transition point in their relationship. It's a joking and friendly conversation and every critique argument of "Aveline called her a whore" "well Isabella called her mannish" is deliberately missing the point of that conversation.

I know some of you are pissing on the poor but there is a reason nobody wants to remember Isabella's follow up of "that's my girl." It's a lighthearted chat about not caring what others thinks. It's a test of the waters that builds a rapport of friendship between the two by establishing where the joke lines lie.

It's actually an excellent character moment for the both of them. It's not bad writing to have characters say things like this. Y'all want to live in Everyone is Friends Land, but refuse to believe that sometimes friends are a bit dickish to each other for fun.

DA2 companions: Family edition

[tealandbrynnstone]

crazy how every time a female character gets cliche misogynistic writing we have to explain to people again that fictional characters are not real and do not choose things for themselves.

DA2 ruined me because I routinely think to myself, "It sure is a nice night for an evening," and I am right. It is a beautiful night for an evening. I'm with you, Aveline, I get what you were trying to say and the evening could not have picked a better night to be an evening on
