Weird domestic shit the TF141 guys do that (playfully) irk you, as their partner:

🏷️ | Price:

Wears socks during sex.

Tightens all of the jars in the house too tightly so that you’ll have to ask him to open them for you. (Toxic chivalry.)

Enjoys giving you beard rash anywhere and everywhere he possibly can.

💀 | Ghost:

Kisses you immediately after eating onions.

Leaves the toothpaste tube strangled in the center with all the toothpaste bunched at the bottom.

You find bullets everywhere, including in the freezer.

🧼 | Soap:

All of his dirty laundry is placed directly on the floor, next to the laundry basket.

Cleans up his mohawk but then doesn’t clean up the fucking hair clippings out of the sink.

Always wants to cuddle you so bad when he’s sleeping that he will squash you and/or push you out of bed.

🧢 | Gaz:

Buys your favorite snacks… for a price. Or is it… “for Price?” You’re never sure.

Offers to make you grilled cheese but then burns it because he’s too busy flirting with you.

Insists on giving you mani-pedis, only they’re so very messy. You assure him that they look great.

God, I was just reminded of that bizarre post last year where someone was like "just a reminder that people can't always be available to talk to you every time you message, even if they're online, because sometimes they don't have the social battery for it!"

And people in the notes were responding like "that's fair; could you please tell us you're not feeling up to talking if we message you when you're not feeling up to talking? Just like. One sentence to inform us what's up so we're not worried?"

And OP and a bunch of other people were like "Um no sweetie that also takes too much energy :) you should just work harder on being OK with not hearing anything back at all :) and our side of the equation clearly has nothing to work on whatsoever :) :) :)"

God

Some people really will do anything to avoid putting any effort into their interpersonal relationships

No because the way I get so VISCERALLY angry when someone refers to an animal as albino when they’re actually leucistic, erythristic, or xanthochromatic is both deeply irrational and greatly unhealthy

ALBINISM

Total loss of melanin in the body, i.e. skin, hair/fur/feathers, and eyes (the eyes look pink/red because the lack of melanin in the eye exposes the blood vessels within it to light, which then reflects their red hue)

LEUCISM

Partial loss of melanin in the body; the pattern of melanin distribution is unique in each case, so some people or animals with this condition may have patches of typically-colored skin/hair/fur in addition to pigmented eyes, while others may only have the aforementioned ocular pigmentation

ERYTHRISM

Abnormal prevalence of reddish pigment in the skin/hair/fur/feathers of an animal; concentration of this pigment varies case by case, so humans/animals with the condition can present anywhere from only slightly pink to intensely red in color; to my knowledge, the condition does not affect the eyes

XANTHOCHROMISM

Abnormal prevalence of yellow pigment in the skin/hair/fur/feathers of an animal; similar to erythrism, color intensity can vary from light golden hues to deep yellows; again, to my knowledge, the condition does not affect the eyes

I've been seeing some reading pet peeve posts about not assigning the same obsessions to your blorbo, e.g. Maglor can't always be singing or humming!

And I get the need for complexity and fully applaud it, but as a musician I can assure you that some song or another is never far from my lips. I'm "drumming" rhythms on the dining table as people talk to me. It's obnoxious as hell probably.

But yes, Maglor would and should absolutely drive everyone insane with his music at all times, for centuries on end.

there’s a genre of DE fanfic writing that involves Kim epically owning Jean over his treatment of Harry, and it falls so flat for me personally

Kim’s argument almost always amounts to “well he’s been nice to me for a week and some change, maybe you should get over it ❤️”, and the narrative treats it like the gag of the century bc of some token “I understand how you feel”s and the fact Kim said it lmao

I hate people calling barn cats “working cats”.

These are not domesticated animals that have been specifically bred and then trained to perform a job, they’re feral domestics self-populating and completely untrained and often completely unhandleable by people in any situation.

A working mouser dog will kill rodents and bring you/the trainer the carcasses so they don’t rot in your walls, regardless of how many they’ve caught, because that’s what it was bred and then trained to do. A working mouser dog will also not target birds, snakes, and other animals in the area because of the extensive training.

A “working mouser” cat kills anything small enough to kill in (and around in an unknown radius of) your barn, and if they’re not hungry or wanting to bring you a catch to feed you as a colony member, will simply leave the carcasses to rot. They will not exclusively target rodents. They’re not trained. Many of them will not ever receive even the most basic of vet care because the people they “work” for can’t even touch them.

Stop trying to make a barn cat the equivalent of what we consider a working dog.

There’s nothing more annoying than working with an animal on something and then watching another person start undoing your progress 

“Yeah so I’m working on getting the dog to be calm when guests arrive-”

“Did I hear ‘act like a fucking maniac towards your dog the second I come through the door’? can do!”
