Once of the greatest two sentence horror stories ever was written by Sir Terry Pratchett in the novel Monstrous Regiment.

"... He seems so nice."

"Yes, he's great at seeming."

It seems that back in 2005 an event from the now-defunct fantasy collectables company Clarecraft included some Monstrous Regiment trinkets. It was the last event before the company shut down, and the pieces were prizes, but what can be discerned is a motto of the Tenth:

TUTEME(T) ATQUE CUIUS EXERCITUS with the final T on tutemet left off to give us roughly, 'YOU'N WHOSE ARMY?', unless I've rather badly misunderstood something.

I think I'll have to get that as a tattoo some day.

Sequel where the maid decides to go to the vampire hunter (out of disguise this time) to learn the craft, initially tries to hide that she's a maid to a vampire but it winds up being found out anyway

All the hunters assume she's like, trying to seek freedom from her boss and being super supportive, like "we can kill her for you" "that won't be necessary" "ahhh you want to do it yourself, take revenge for years of torment, we'll respect that she's your kill"

But actually the maid just wants the vampire to swoon over her instead/too

obsessed with characters who were written for one another. like, what do you mean the reason for my existence is to be by your side? what do you mean our divine purpose is to belong to one another, for better or worse?

[horsefigureoftheday]

Sucks how many people were taught that "horses put their ears back when they're mad" but then never taught the difference between "angry backwards ears," "mildly annoyed backwards ears," "pain backwards ears," "concentrated backwards ears," "sleepy backwards ears" and "just happens to be listening to something behind it."

"Horses put their ears back when they're mad" idk man i think it depends

[horsefigureoftheday]

These are all completely different expressions in completely different scenarios, and only two of them are decidedly negative.

Actually, I wanna talk about the third horse, the one putting its ears back in pain. Over the last 15 years veterinarians and animal scientists have worked out pain scales for most domestic animals by taking photos of the during routine procedures.

We know vaccines painful, and by comparing horses at rest with horses getting vaccinated, we've been able to determine how they express pain visually. By looking at horses with disorders like colic, broken bones, wounds, and so on, we can determine their facial expressions during more severe pain.

At zookeeper school we were drilled through the pain faces of the most common lab animals and livestock. Nowadays I believe this has become a routine lesson in all animal related fields, but the general public still doesn't know that this is a thing that exists.

Here are all the pain face/grimace scales I've been able to find. Please study them if you interact with any of these animals on a regular basis:

“this is how you age when you’re unproblematic” NO! stop assigning moral weight to attractiveness! I am not hot because I’m a good person! I am hot because all of my friends are gorgeous! I’m absorbing their beauty! Like a vampire! Because I’m evil!
