[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

This is the 10th one of these flowers Slash has stolen and brought home.

[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

Here is number 11…

[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

Here’s his third catch of the night. And that second photo is his face right after I told him “People on the internet love your flower catching skills, Mr. Slash!”

[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

Guess what Mr. Slash is up to tonight?

[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

And, he’s back at it again tonight.

[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

He got another one, and he is proud of himself.

[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

He brought in another one tonight. Thank you, Mr. Slash!

[myfriendscallmekazzy]

He is so beautiful 😭

[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

He’s aware of that, and loves being told that. :P

[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

Sometimes, he will hold my hand when I ask him about the flowers.

[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

He brought these two flowers in last night, and decided to pose for me when I put them near him to take photos.

[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

Plot twist! He brought back a hibiscus tonight instead of the usual ones. He must be feeling more tropical.

[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

He’s back to the normal ones now…

[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

Even when it’s raining, he still decides to go and find these. Good thing for him that whatever breed of cat he is, he has remarkably water-resistant fur!

[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

He had a very busy night while everyone was asleep last night… (Also, if you haven’t seen it, there is a video of him that’s great, too: http://thoughts-of-an-x-factor.tumblr.com/post/164359705193/mr-slash-knows-how-to-get-his-own-cat-treats-out )

[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

He had a busy night while I was watching SummerSlam.

[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

He gave us one more last night, bringing his total from last night to 6! That’s a new one-night record for him!

[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

Mr. Slash’s flower hunting adventure master post keeps on growing.

[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

He was back at it again today.

[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

And two more from last night…

[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

Thank you, Mr. Slash!

[nyx-ffxiv]

Such a good kitty!

[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

He is!

[bleedthewineunholy]

I wish Oreo brought me flowers instead of birds, lizards, mice, and squirrels 😂😂

[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

Mr. Slash even wanted to hold hands after giving me this one. He’s a special cat. :D

[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

He was asleep this morning after bringing me this one last night…

[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

Two more gifts from Mr. Slash tonight.

[angstriddentrashhuman]

Please tell Mr. Slash I love him.

[musicalhell]

Feeling sad? Have a big fluffy kitty bringing flowers to his people.

[disgustinganimals]

down the block is a person who is inexplicably losing all the flowers in her garden

[hiveswaphomestucker-deactivated]

@thoughts-of-an-x-factor did you ever find out where Mr. Slash got the flowers from? I’m so curious now!!

[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

Oh! I’ve explained it before, but I know some people haven’t seen the explanation, so here it is: Mr. Slash has made friends with an elderly woman who lives about three houses down from me. He gets the flowers from her garden. They are Camellias, so they grow, and fall off the bush by the handful, and he goes over there at night, and takes every single one from the ground, to bring back to me. So, when I said he was stealing them, it was somewhat inaccurate. It’s actually more like he’s helping an old woman clean her garden up, and giving me gifts at the same time. She knows who he is, and where he comes from, and knows what he does.

[mugwomps]

This is delightful, and what a beautiful cat he is!

[lesliescheung]

A long time ago, in the underground realm, where there are no lies or pain, there lived a Princess who dreamed of the human world. She dreamed of blue skies, soft breeze, and sunshine. One day, eluding her keepers, the Princess escaped. Once outside, the brightness blinded her and erased every trace of the past from her memory. She forgot who she was and where she came from. Her body suffered cold, sickness, and pain. Eventually, she died. However, her father, the King, always knew that the Princess’ soul would return, perhaps in another body, in another place, at another time. And he would wait for her, until he drew his last breath, until the world stopped turning.

Athena blessed her with the ability to protect herself and men beheaded her for it.

[takealookatyourlife]

[bloodasredlipstick-deactivated2]

That’s actually a really intetesting intpretation of it I hadn’t thought of. Most people seem to think Athena turned Medusa into a gorgon as punishment for defiling her temple, but thinking that she did so to protect her from being abused again is interesting and I like it!

[gabyluvsxena]

Athena’s hands were tied. Yes, she was a powerful Goddess, but she was very much a woman in a “boys club”, and the true offending party (don’t think for a moment that Athena blamed Medusa for being raped in the temple, Athena knows better) held all the cards. There was nothing that Athena could do to punish the true criminal, and she was expected to punish Medusa by everyone else. What’s a Goddess to do when she cannot punish those who need to be punished and is expected to punish not only the truly innocent party, but her most beloved follower? Use that incredible brain power she had to protect Medusa at all costs, and of course the men would see it as punishment, to be have her beauty stripped from her and sent to live in the shadows. Medusa should have been KILLED for supposedly defiling the temple, whether she truly did or not, but she was given the gift of life, and the ability to protect herself and her daughters (who she bore thanks to Poseidon). This is why Medusa’s image was used to signify woman’s shelters and safe houses.

Medusa means “guardian; protectress”, and she was.

[geekremix]

holy shit.

[virtuous-thing]

Feministic mythology is what I’m here for

[gluten-free-pussy]

What’s the tea on Medusa’s pubes? Are they snakes too?

[welcometonerdland-deactivated20]

[dickslapthestate]

So I went to her YouTube channel cuz I was like “yo I want some more funny robot videos.

Turns out:

Her latest update on twitter just came out less than a day ago:

Hopefully, her recovery goes well.

On a lighter note, when she discussed the possibility of going blind in one eye as a result of the surgery she got a comment:
