i’m in a facebook group for shiba inu owners bc it’s where my sister and her wife post pictures of my niece (a shiba inu)
and it’s so fuckin funny because like every other post is someone being like “my dog does whatever it wants and cannot be reasoned with. we are all subordinate to the dog and it’s wonderful we love our tiny nightmare”
and then every comment is like “yes! this is proof that your dog is superior to all other dogs”
there’s a thread right now that’s like “does anyone else trip over their shiba inu a lot? like way more often than you’d expect? almost as though your shiba inu is actually deliberately trying to cause you physical harm?”
and all the comments are like “oh yeah definitely! we’re pretty sure ours is trying to kill us in a very intentional way! gotta love how they have minds of their own 😂”
my undereyes are everlasting, the alpha and the omega, the first and the last, as they are, they shall always be, and a mere lifetime of sleep shan’t dream to rid of them
with some bugs it really does feel less like the larval stage is the ‘baby’ stage and more like its the ‘normal’ stage and the bug’s final form is just their extra special final form they use to fuck
I was actually distraught as a child when I found out that an antlion was “just” a “larva” to something else but later I learned that they spend two to three entire years that way and the adult only lives for a couple of months.
Butterflies are also shorter lived than caterpillars; we can think of them more as the caterpillar dispersal system.
We also always hear about how “mayflies only live a few days” but that ignores the fact that they, too, spend years as aquatic nymphs.
same for dobsonflies, which live for maybe a week as adults, but for years as enormous highly predatory aquatic larvae called hellgrammites.
except with dobsonflies, all forms feel a bit extra. If they were pokemon they would be some late generation multi-form legendary
Pretty, graceful adult dragonflies live only for like seven months, but beforehand they spend five years as this
aquatic predatory incarnation of bullshit, which hunts other aquatic insects and even small fish with its big fucking xenomorph mouthparts.
not to make a long thread longer but i think the ultimate manifestation of powered up final fuck form is 17 year periodical cicadas
like they arent just hibernating or something, they spend the length of a human adolescence as these nymphs living underground and feeding on fluids from roots. and after 17 years their population group emerges in eerie synchronization and they all molt into their adult stage, which only survives for a few weeks . like 99.5% of their life is spent in their “baby” stage and the final .05% of it is a powered up flight capable adult form that exists solely to scream and fuck
Toa Vahi could remember little of who he once was. There were flashes—images—visions of the past as indecipherable as his visions of the future: a city, a mask-maker, a Toa in green… all falling, falling, forever out of his reach. Whoever he was before he became the mask—whatever he was—he’d failed. There was nothing left… not even his name. There was only time.
I always felt like there was more to the Mask of Time than the story let on. In another universe, I imagine that Vakama hesitated for a moment too long when Matau tried to save him during the Hordika arc, and ended up wracked with guilt for letting him die. After he was cured, he reclaimed the Vahi and tried to use it to undo his mistakes. He eventually succeeded in unlocking its full potential, but prolonged exposure to the energies of time unwraveled his memories and destroyed his identity. Now, he wanders through the past, present, and future as Toa Vahi, Lord of Time, saving those he deems worthy and protecting history from this who would seek to tamper with it.
I would think that even clean romance is unchaste, in terms of emotional chastity. And anything that glorifies or condones stuff like murder, rape, same sex stuff, etc. Essentially if it condones a sin, then it’s not something you should read.
