There were two 'Reigns of Terror', if we could but remember and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passions, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon a thousand persons, the other upon a hundred million; but our shudders are all for the horrors of the... momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty and heartbreak? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief terror that we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror - that unspeakable bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.

Oh no, that would be not cute! Napoleons need big spaces, sometimes even entire continents, as their enclosure! An island or a cage just doesn’t have enough stimulation.
Also, napoleons need more than golf balls! They need wars! Conquest! That’s the healthiest enrichment for them, but if you can’t afford an all out war, skirmishes are fine.
Seeds alone also aren’t enough for a napoleon! They like to do things like eat entire worlds
But make sure you provide them silverware like this one has. If they try to swallow it whole it’s a choking hazard
I hope this helps you understand the complexities of keeping a pet napoleon!
Funniest thing napoleon ever did was when the bastille was stormed and he wrote to his big brother like “don’t worry about it, it’ll blow over soon and it won’t affect our lives at all”
I commissioned a Lex Luthor doll on Etsy. The seller developed cancer and was unable to complete the order, so they apologetically refunded my order
I take the money and commission lex from someone else. They were a duo, and one of them apparently got into a freak accident and died, and so again, my order was refunded
If. If I commission the doll again, am I like, murdering seamstresses? At what point am I the villain? This seems to be a specific curse.
Oh, the survivor of the freak accident said she finished my doll and could ship it. I paid her the money refunded and am now waiting for the doll to arrive

So, like two hours I lost the cap to the mountain dew I was drinking. Annoying, but, you know, I will survive
I fuck you not. I just saw the lid fall right in front of my eyes like magic. Like it just materialized and fell down.
And like. I believe in ghosts so I’ve already accepted, okay, this is a ghost. But what a pathetic move. Like? Thanks for giving me my cap back? Great? What are we doing here. Loser.
Poor Francis! When I google him the first image that comes up is Napoleon, aka his son in law who curb stomped him at Austerlitz tho Francis will get him back soon don’t worry
Tho maybe that’s a good thing because Francis’s portrait, the second one on the list, is well
I’m a married woman with a degree and a full time job and that doesn’t seem right. In my mind I’m still a teenager but no, actually, I’m society now, aren’t I? I am society. It’s me
