tangled gave us so much, but mostly it gave us the beautiful and intense love of a horse and the man he is chasing in order to imprison

[roach-works]

i personally believe that maximus was the former captain of the guard who was cursed into horse form pretty recently, and everyone’s having trouble adjusting to it.

like, he’s entitled to sick leave, he really ought to take a couple months to break the curse and come to terms with whatever the fuck just happened to him, but instead of embarking on a journey of self-discovery and healing he just keeps showing up to work. no one can get captain maximus to go on his fucking voyage of self actualization and fix the curse because he’s obsessed with catching flinn ryder. everyone really fucking hopes that when he finally catches this guy the curse might be broken anyway, but it isn’t.

he just keeps showing up to work. he glares at the stablehands until they saddle him up. everyone’s gone over the regulations a dozen times but there’s nothing there saying you’re not allowed to saddle and ride the captain of the guard if he makes you do it. his former second in command rides him around like ‘sir i really don’t know about this’ and he’s just like ‘are we going to catch some criminals or what.’

you can see in the movie that everyone in the royal guard defers to this horse. it’s absolutely because that’s their boss. and secondarily because now he’s two thousand pounds of percheron.

there is no evidence against this theory and you cannot prove me wrong.

I think it's so funny how we bred JOBS into dogs. I have two shih tzus and they were bred to be lap dogs. All they care about is looking cute and cuddling with people. Meanwhile my grandma has a border collie and that dog needs to feel so useful all the time, he acts like he will pass away if he doesn't have a job to do constantly

[halomancer]

On one hand this is extremely fucking funny, but on the other hand, it really boggles my mind how many people punish their dogs for just… doing the thing they were bred to do.

Your husky isn’t “hyperactive”, it’s bred to pull sleds for 8 hours straight and you have it in a 400 sq ft yard.

Your English sheepdog isn’t “pushy”, it’s bred to herd sheep, and you have neither to space nor the herd to allow it.

Your terrier isn’t “nippy”, it’s bred to kill rats and your hamster looks a hell of a lot like one.

Your Catahoula isn’t “mean to animals”, it’s bred to hunt any and all animals smaller than it, and you didn’t acclimate it to your cat.

Your Lhasa Apso isn’t “yappy”, it’s bred to bark at any tiny noise and alert watchmen to intruders

Like Jesus Christ, if you can’t provide an environment where your dog can’t fulfill its literal life purpose, maybe?? Don’t get that dog??? And if you do, maybe know the breed characteristics so you can redirect those traits into more constructive outlets????

Any time someone sees Herschel and says "AWWW I want a Corgi <3" (because he is Very Cute (TM)), I immediately reply: "Do not get a Corgi unless you have a job for it to do. They were bred to bully livestock across the hills of Wales. This is basically a Border Collie that knows he is cute enough to get away with murder. If you get one and it doesn't have a job, it will apply its livestock-bullying instincts to YOU. Herschel's job specifically is to help manage my crippling ADHD, because I don't have a bull for him to micromanage." This gets me odd looks at the home depot but it does get the point across.

The above is a video shared by smrchildsadness on Twitter, showing a person participating in a pride parade exchanging a pride flag with a person standing on his (am using his pronoun based on the TikToks/Tweets of what happened) doorway who had a Portuguese flag. There are sounds of cheers and crying and the two people hug each other as they exchange the flags. The man at the doorway then waved kisses to the crowd within the pride parade.

The Tweet says: "NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HE WAS WAVING THE PORTUGUESE FLAG BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE A PRIDE FLAG AND THEY TRADED FLAGS AND HE'S SO EMOTIONAL TO GET HIS OWN PRIDE FLAG I'M EMOTIONALLY RUINED"

For context, apparently they were worried that maybe he's a nationalist because he was waving the Portuguese flag and some nationalists opposing the pride march were waving that flag. But upon interacting with him, it turns out he didn't have have a pride flag and he wanted to wave *a* flag in support of the pride march. So they had an exchange and now he has his own pride flag 😭🥹.

The image above is a Tweet by kunwara_ladkaa that says "I'm crying so much right now (Image taken by Manuel Fernando Araújo/Lusa)". The image shows the same man from the pride parade crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

The above image is a Tweet by dudz_zZzz that says "ainda não parei de pensar nele," which according to Google translate from Portuguese to English is "I still haven't stopped thinking about him." The image is a drawing of the person from the pride parade, crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

Here's your periodic reminder that the reason Kirk (tos-flavor) got a commendation for his solution to the Kobayashi Maru is because his "cheating" was his answer. Kirk's answer to the question of, "What do you do in a no-win scenario?" is "I break the rules until it isn't a no-win scenario. I don't give up on my crew, and I do whatever I can to save as many lives as possible."

[computer-voiced-by-majel-barrett]

And here's your periodic reminder—or first-time FYI, depending—that according to certain apocrypha, Nog similarly "beat" the Kobayashi Maru by relentlessly demanding to barter with the enemy until the simulation crashed. Like a true Ferengi, his answer to "What would you do in a no-win scenario?" is "Renegotiate the terms of the scenario. Rule of Acquisition #98: Everyone has their price."

you know that thing where younger siblings get away with things older siblings never would've at the same age?

[finnglas]

when i was a tiny baby queer (aka a 24-year-old), i went to my first pride festival probably three months after i kicked ex-gay therapy to the curb and came out to my parents. being the people they are, my parents came with me. they weren’t really sure about this whole gay thing, but they loved me and wanted me to be safe and happy and wanted to be involved in what was important to me, so they came along. (i also think my mother still might have thought i might get drugged or murdered or beaten by a protester of which there were plenty.)

anyway i wanted a memento of my first pride, you know, and this one vendor was selling keyrings, and i liked it, so i bought one. do you remember those italian charm bracelets that were all the rage like 10-15 years ago? it was a keychain like that, and it had a rainbow rooster, a rainbow cat, and then just a rainbow, and so I bought it.

i run into my mom a couple of vendors over and she goes oh you bought something? what’d you get? so i showed her, and i was like, “I’m not sure why it’s a rooster and a cat. Seems kind of random. But I liked the rainbows.”

and my mom, who was some form of minister’s wife for most of my childhood and teenagerhood, stares at me like she thinks i’m joking.

“What?” i say.

“…it’s a cock and a pussy, Jules,” she says flatly, and that is the story of how i died at the age of 24 while attending my first pride festival.

Honestly, if you see an angel that’s all eyes and wings and wheels of fire, you should be worried. Like, not because it’s going to hurt you or anything, but because scripturally, angels invariably appear to ordinary people in human form. In general, they only show their inhuman true forms to prophets – which means if you’re seeing them like that, they come bearing responsibility.

[Obikin Mermay AU]

prev au

Just a silly mermay AU where Anakin is an octopus merman and Obi-Wan is a siren (and a bird).

A bit more details is under cut

Obi-Wan is a siren. Many years ago, he and his father were imprisoned on a faraway island by a tyrant. Obi-Wan's father was a skilled craftsman, and so he made wings for himself and his son. He warned Obi-Wan, "Do not fly too high and beware of the sun." However, Obi-Wan, delighted by the feel of freedom, flew too close to the sun, and the gods saw it as arrogance. They crushed his wings, and Obi-Wan fell into the ocean. His father thought his son was dead and had no choice but to fly away.

However, it was not the end for Obi-Wan. As a punishment, he was turned into a siren. His duty now is to find the souls lost in the sea and guide them to the afterlife. And if there are no souls to collect, he lives on the island alone. Well, until he met Anakin.

Anakin is a bit of an outcast among the other merpeople. He and his mother lived away from others, since some of the mermen were convinced she was a witch. There were even rumors she turned a mermaid into a human! A complete nonsense, really. Anakin would know if she did something like that. After her death, the same rumors follow Anakin now. And while he can turn someone into a slug if they annoy him long enough or heal some minor wounds, he prefers to keep it to himself and stays away from the rest. He'd rather explore some old shipwrecks and collect curious little objects made by humans.

Anakin met Obi-Wan on one of such escapades. An odd bird fell from the sky, hit by an arrow (a scared sailor thought it was a bad omen) and Anakin took it to the shore and healed it. And the bird turned out to be a siren.

And they lived happily ever after.That's it, no bad endings here!

Hakuddles aside, I think the real question is what sort of ship mascot/pet does Hakoda's crew that can snuggle up to Zuko in adoration while the crew looks on in bemusement

ASKING THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS

Okay but really this is in my outline with lots of questions marks next to it. Now accepting Water Tribe ship’s-cat-equivalent suggestions! Bonus points awarded for some version of a Southern cat that is just as instinctively off-putting to Zuko as mimic-catopuses are to Sokka.

[muffinlance]

GIANT ISOPOD YESSSSSSS

And Zuko really does get a lot of cats in my fics, so MuffinLance theatre is proud to present, in conjunction with @also-proximally’s terrible wonderful mind:

The Giant Isopuppy.

So many body segments. So many legs going click-click-click. Such a waggy-tailed good boy when it is not chitter-growling at intruders from between its mandibles.

(Clearly it is some kind of rat terrier working dog. Combined with a giant isopod. Hunting vermin thoroughout the ship, and occasionally stealth-creeping into the crew’s baths.)

[proximally]

allow me to provide you with some quick concept art…..

[muffinlance]

BLESS YOUR SOUL

PS: We need a name for our Isopuppy. Come on Tumblr, do your stuff.

[courgette96]

Name concept: water tribe crew named Isopuppy Snowstorm, because dangerous and very water tribe and also because naming took place after a 30 hour no-sleeping-sailing-through-fire-nation-waters-lets-not-get-caught session, so sailors were boiled down to their primal brain that just wanted a cool name, ya know?

Zuko was not informed, instructions on handling ennemy pet unclear, has named the Isopuppy “Seal jerkey”, because Uncle would insist on beinh culturally sensitive so he ll name it after primitive water savage food and Uncle will eat his tea pot at how sensitive Zuko is being.

The worst part is when the first time Zuko asks where Sealjerkey is and everyone knows *exactly* who he is talking about. He doesn’t even go here!

[muffinlance]

I feel like this combines well with the “it’s named Sokka because it follows Hakoda around” idea. When Sokka finally shows up on the ship, and asks what his dad’s dog is called, Hakoda rushes to blurt out ‘SEAL JERKY’ before the rest of the crew can spill the Sokka-beans.

And Zuko is just like, ‘But I thought you said–’

'SEAL JERKY IS THIS DOGGO’S NAME AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN’

And the rest of the crew is like, 'Now taking bets on how long until Sokka finds out about Other Sokka. Especially now that the secret rests with Prince Literally Can’t Lie To Save His Life.’
