I draw so many things for you and you make fun of me

Me the first half of The Backrooms: "oh I get it. He's a down on his luck failed architect and even more failed furniture store owner who's trying to better himself. He'll probably be fascinated with the furniture/architecture of the backrooms and start selling the items there for money + notoriety. And eventually he'll go deeper and deeper to get more and more items until he gets trapped and encounters The Horrors. A classic tale of hubris :) "

Me the second half of the backrooms:

THIS IS SO CUTE! I love this so much!!

Omg, ok but Simon who’s in a coma after Grace and Rocky rescue him and periodicity 'waking up' to awareness but is still fully paralyzed. Trapped in his head after surviving the horrors with no idea where he is. For him to be introduced to Grace and Rocky that way? Who have no idea of him waking up beyond the brain activity scanners.

He'd be 100% vulnerable to these strangers, only able to hear them. And yet what he hears in only care and kindness. No malice intent at all. He’s safe.

IDK WHY I'M SEEING THIS SO LATE BUT YOU GET ITTT

And he definitely pretended to be asleep in the last few hours as Grace rambles on and on about his kids. And when he finally announces himself, he is still very wary yes but because he doesn't detect any imminent he is somewhat calm. And even when Ryland Owl-of-a-man Grace jumps out of his seat he doesn't startle, as he'd been nothing but nice to Simon. Something the man had didn't even know he missed.

Or alternatively, teach a man to fish he'll eat forever but save a man from fish and he'll owe you his life and basically worship you. Or however the saying goes.

what if Grace’s earnest desire to learn all he can about his new home Erid runs into a serious snag, when he finds out that almost all levels of existing Eridian formal academic institutions are intertwined with the cultural practice of thrumming — which Grace is not biologically capable of participating in

and so Grace ends up implementing an “Opposite Day” routine with his first classes of young Eridian students, where he periodically assigns a group of his kids to create and deliver to him an in-class presentation, human-style, on any topic of “Eridian common knowledge” of their choosing

imagine how hyped the little pebbles would be to bunch up in front of the classroom’s clear Xenonite barrier and chatter about, like, the differences in local postal services across Erid, while their cool alien teacher — who’s teaching them the basics of super advanced new concepts that even the really old and smart Eridians don’t fully understand yet!! — sits utterly rapt and LOCKED IN, taking copious notes and peppering them with questions

I’ve seen this one doing the rounds a few times (and it makes me cry every time I see it), but was curious about the original Latin text, so I did some digging: it’s a shortened version of CIL 10, 00659, a tombstone from Salernum (modern Salerno, Italy). (source; CIL is the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum).

Portaui lacrimis madidus te, nostra catella,

     Quod feci lustris laetior ante tribus.

Ergo mihi, Patrice, iam non dabis oscula mille

     Nec poteris collo grata cubare meo.

Tristis marmorea posui te sede merentem

     Et iunxi semper manib(us) ipse meis

Morib(us) argutis hominem simulare paratam,

     Perdidimus quales hei mihi delicias.

Tu, dulcis Patrice, nostras attingere mensas

    Consueras, gremio poscere blanda cibos,

Lambere tu calicem lingua rapiente solebas,

     Quem tibi saepe meae sustinuere manus,

Accipere et lassum cauda gaudente frequenter

And here’s my translation:

Wet with tears I have carried you, our little (female) dog, just as I did in happier times fifteen years earlier (lit. “three periods of five years).  For myself, Patrice, now you will not give me a thousand kisses nor will you be able to lie lovingly around/against my neck.  I have sorrowfully placed you, merit-worthy, in a marble tomb and I have joined you always to myself in death, as by your cleverness you matched a human.  Alas, we lost such pleasures for myself!  You, sweet Patrice, were accustomed to join us at our table, to beg charmingly for food (while sitting in our) laps.  You were in the habit of greedily licking our cups with your tongue, which my hands often held for you.  Frequently and joyfully (you) receive a weary one with your (wagging) tail...

tl;dr: this dog was named Patrice and was very, very loved.  (another translation with some glossing of the text.)

It's the fact she's joined to them in death, it's the fact that she sat in her owner's arms and ate their food. That he held the cups down for her to drink from....

Hundreds of years and we still know she was loved. We still know how she liked to sleep. All these years!! Loving dogs is the same!!!!

[thaylepo]

gonna point out too that 15 years is an INSANELY long lifespan for a dog in ancient Rome. This dog was both well loved and well cared for to have lived so long. Obvs there's going to be some statistical overlap with ancient dogs with loving epitaphs having longer lifespans, but in a world without modern vetrinary science or medicine, no canine vaccines, and no nutritionally formulated dog food, this Roman's beloved pooch exceeded even the average pet dog lifespan today.
