If I were a snake I know it'd feel good as fuuuuuck to just stick out my tongue to sense my environment #mysurroundings

I keep seeing people getting antsy over a botted tumblr poll...

Guys, look at the stories we've told! Everything from the deeply canon-based to the most wonderfully eccentric AUs. Look at the plethora of art and how many fantastic artists have come out of this fandom. Look at the gifs and the fanvids and character discussions.

Look at the people you've met. I know people from literally all over the world because of this fandom, all going insane for the same two blorbos. Fandom size doesn't matter. What other fandoms might think doesn't matter (ship and let ship, don't be a jerk). And bots definitely don't matter.

What matters is the experience we co-created together ❤️💙

I love how NYC has done everything under the sun to deal with the rat problem and now they’re circled back and are like “Ok. We’ll legalize bodega cats. We need cats manning the food stores.” ancient problems require ancient solutions.

“Cats don’t actually love you”

A cat is a small creature in the middle of the food chain that is fully aware that you are a very large thing that could stomp its head in at any moment and yet it chooses to rest its tiny little head on your leg for a nap and spreads out on the floor near you exposing its belly and its most sensitive organs. It brings dead mice and bugs to you to share food.

Don’t you get it? This tiny thing trusts you. It wants to help you too. It licks your leg thinking that it’s helping. It kneads on you to find comfort. It shares its body warmth with you in the cold and gives you your space in the heat. It hisses at other mammals it sees outside including other cats in an effort to protect its family.

Cats love you so so much. But they will keep trying to eat plastic.
