"Anne of Green Gables" 1979 anime version Episode 6.
🖤✨🖤Moon Way🖤✨🖤
I got a 4 min long video of Kimchi dreaming today, so here's a clip
You get the whole walk cycle and the little sprint at the end.
Sometimes her sprints last for like 4 or 5 seconds and she can shoot herself off the couch or into a wall if she gets a grip with her back claws. If she does it next to a wall, her head smacking into it sounds like someone is trying to break into the house. She doesn't wake up.
Later in the dream she injured her paw and was limping, and earlier she caught something and ate it.

You, you there! Remember it for the next time!
Should have saved it somewhere more secure QwQ
As a trans woman I can confirm that they indeed found an ancient forest inside a 630ft deep sinkhole in China
cis people can reblog this but keep it on subject, please
Happy pride month everyone always remember that the sinkhole has an ecosystem large enough to house not only insects but likely several species of small birds or mammals
Researchers say the forest may contain small animal species unknown to scientists
Q: Can you get me the least skinkiest skink?
A (Paxon): Let me who you the first skink that came to mind... to me, a very unskinky skink.
