kind of obsessed with this comment from the aoteaora nz subreddit….

So sick of dog motif what about cat motif.

I love you but we don't love the same. I can't be near you when you want me to be. Your love is smothering and your need to keep me safe is trapping me. I'm my own person but I don't know how to show you that. I lash out and hurt you even though I don't mean to. I need you to move slowly around me or I'll bolt. I love you, even though I don't say it. If you stay still I'll sit next to you, and even though we don't understand each other we can be together like that.

@aspengrown this is the rawest possible addition to this post thank you

and also:

cat love as in I am small and scared and all of my instincts and my experience and your vast power say you're a threat but I am choosing to trust in your kindness despite my fear. you could kill me with one hand but I know you won't.

cat love as in I can tell you are upset and I don't understand why so I will sit stiffly beside you and awkwardly provide the only reassurance I know how to give. I am uncomfortable with every single moment of this but it is what you would do for me.

cat love as in I am small and powerless but I will curl up back to back with you and stand guard while you sleep and I will mean it with every fiber of my being.

my cat Nepenthe was a former stray behavior case at risk of euthanasia because she kept mauling potential adopters. on her second week in my apartment--having already attacked me multiple times without provocation, I will add, I wasn't special, she needed genuine help--she slinked out of the bedroom yowling at me. when I went to check on her she kept walking back and forth until I followed her, where she insistently paced between my feet and her hidey-hole in the back of my dresser, increasingly distressed. about three seconds after she gave up and hid, an absolutely torrential rain front hit. she didn't understand yet that we couldn't get wet inside. she'd been trying to warn me.

she didn't know me yet, but she knew I hadn't yelled at her when she hurt me. she knew I hadn't tried to hurt her back. she didn't understand why she was attacking me; those episodes probably scared her more than me. she knew I "shared" food with her, and that I asked before touching her. and she went out of her way to bring me into her safe space, to protect her friend.

cat love as stiff hesitant uncertain acts of service that are devastating in their sincerity, as well.

I'm sorry, I had a response to add on, but now I'm crying over your cat. Oh my god.

He had the awkward tenderness of someone who has never been loved and is forced to improvise.

Hilariously funny that they let the guy known for wandering off without warning to look at birds was allowed to do this

hate it when you experience something of better quality and then you’re doomed to no longer be satisfied

in my family we call this “getting the good bologna” because after my grandma got fancy bologna on sale she couldn’t go back

My ex kind of resembled Emma Stone. They weren’t identical but there were certain expressions she’d make or the way certain light would hit her and they definitely could’ve passed for sisters or cousins.

There’s a lot about that relationship that messed me up. It ended over 4 years ago. She’s married now.

I watched La La Land after we split. I’ve seen a couple of other Emma Stone movies since too. That one got me pretty good; I am already one to cry easily in films.

Tonight, my friend’s fam put on a rom com with her in it. And I felt a pang of sadness. Eyes welling with tears seemingly out of nowhere. And I think it’s because with certain expressions, certain ways the light hits Emma Stone’s face, I see my ex.

Because that relationship messed me up so much, rationally I don’t miss her. But as with anything, nostalgic melancholy hits where you least expect it sometimes. And I think I had a moment tonight. I missed her. I missed the good moments and how our relationship was at the beginning… or at least how it seemed to be… which of course is the age old story.

When Everything Everywhere All at Once said “The only thing I do know is that we have to be kind. Please, be kind, especially when we don’t know what’s going on" 

When the Good Place said “Why choose to be good every day when there is no guaranteed reward now or in the afterlife… I argue that we choose to be good because of our bonds with other people and our innate desire to treat them with dignity. Simply put, we are not in this alone.” 

When Jean-Paul Sartre said ”‘Hell is other people’ is only one side of the coin. The other side, which no one seems to mention, is also ‘Heaven is each other’. Hell is separateness, uncommunicability, self-centeredness, lust for power, for riches, for fame. Heaven on the other hand is very simple, and very hard: caring about your fellow beings.“

doubly funny that I saw a compilation of all the corporate accounts like "aw thanks elmo, we're doing well" meanwhile all the flesh and blood real human people are extremely not okay

[artistefish]

Okay but Elmo had actually the best and sweetest response to all this trauma dumping:

And then all the other Sesame Street character accounts joined in:

And now I’m thinking maybe we’re gonna be okay… 💗

(Comment compilation from this Twitter)

[aqueerkettleofish]

I kinda feel for the poor person running Elmo's Twitter.

"So, boss... I may have messed up."

"What did you do, Ray?"

"Well, I made a post for Elmo saying 'Hi, how's everybody doing?'"

"I mean, that's kind of what we pay you for."

"Yeah, but.... <sigh> it turns out pretty much everyone is hanging on by a thread, badly enough that they needed to tell Elmo."

"Oh."

"God help me, boss, I think Elmo needs to be there for them."

"Get the others."

Oh also I dropped an album May 1st of 2023. It’s definitely mediocre and I still struggle to come to grips with “baby’s first album” but I had some pretty incredible musicians working on it… so even in the times where I feel like I did it a disservice, they really gave so much life to my little passion project. This is one of my favs.

Catching up on several years of growth since my last uploads on here… all during & after college. Some of these are still 7-8 years old 😳

Tumblr used to be my fav social media in high school, and with the decline of Twitter I’m thinking it may be the one I return to… it’s the one I think I’d have the most privacy on anyway and it might be nice to do some airing of things I don’t talk about elsewhere.
