canon is what happens in the text. e.g. merlin tries to poison morgana
a headcanon is a fact that you have personally made up as an elaboration of canon. it is your invention. e.g. i think morgana and gwen had a teenage lesbian situationship before the events of canon. or, i think modern morgana would love evanesence.
an interpretation is how one reads the existing text. it is not an invented fact nor is it a headcanon, it is a reading. e.g. i think merlin tries to poison morgana out of misplaced self-hatred. or, i think that one line was delivered with suppressed malice and shows a nuanced relationship.
fanon is the general fandomās accepted headcanons and interpretations that elaborate or recontextualize canon. e.g. merlin is a badass waif and morgana is a bitch.
these are all different words with different meanings.
Also, for an interpretation to be valid it needs to be based on the text. It cannot just be a vibe. One can disagree on readings of the text, but if someone comes with quotes and/or historical context and you just have vibes, then sorry, your interpretation is inferior and may in fact just be a headcanon.
proposing a new genre of fiction called an anti-romance where u r presented w a couple at the start & the story is about their emotional journey towards a catastrophic break up
will they won't they (end this farce). there's only one bed (but for some reason they don't really want to share it). out of context eavesdropping (that paints the relationship in a better light than it deserves). chasing after them to stop them getting on that plane (and stopping them from finally being free)
nobody understands my vision i don't mean any old story where a relationship fails and it's tragic or w/e i mean a story where the intention is for the audience to root for it failing the same way u root for it succeeding in a romance. & when the relationship finally implodes at the climax of the story it's all very cathartic & everybody cheers.
I was wondering if there was anything you could tell me about cats and taurine/taurine deficiency, or reputable research/resources to look towards? I've been seeing a ton of stuff talking about how a housecat might not be getting enough taurine but it's all from people trying to sell something, which makes me immediately wary of the validity. No pressure, just want to talk to some folks who arent trying to push their products on me with scare tactics
Any commercial cat food with am AAFCO label on it will have sufficient taurine.
Cats are obligate carnivores. A lot of people think this means they can *only* eat meat, but what it really means is that there are certain amino acids they cannot make on their own, and those amino acids are found in meat. They require meat, and in certain amounts, but that doesn't mean they can *only* easy meat and nothing else. These companies are banking on people not understanding this.
This is, however, why cats cannot eat a vegan diet. The only cases of taurine deficiency I've seen was a single indoor-only cat on a vegan diet. Anyone who says their cat did well on a vegan diet is either lying or had a free-roaming cat.
please behold the 24 Hours of Lemons race, in which you can only spend $500 total on a car to cross country race for 24 hours
named after the legendary 24 hour Le Mans race, Lemons rallies barely legal cars in an endurance race across America. had the privilege of sharing the freeway with this race and seeing the absolute art od this event

lore bits:
the veil is not a modesty thing in their culture (as depicted on fig. 1 the "modesty" "standards" are vastly different), it is almost exclusively for the priestesses' use as insulation material to get real high off the smoke of sacred herbs (like one would put a towel over their head when leaning over a bowl of boiling water to clear out the sinuses. but with psychotropics instead) and through which it is said a priestess does her scrying and can see the future or the dead by holding the veil up against smoke, against the sky, against a landscape, etc.
the main animal of spiritual, cultual, cultural, and social/societal importance is the horse. spiritually and cultually, it is seen as a psychopomp: an animal who carries on its back the soul of the dead from this world to the other. it is seen as a comrade, able to carry the wounded out of battle like fellow soldiers can, and as a mother archetype, carrying its rider like a mother carries her child. it is as such a symbol of solidarity but also of strength, of vitality, and from observing the behavior of mares, of fierce protection yet of not tolerating bullshit. this makes, for them, the centaur both a revered neighbor (lol "neigh") (also centaurs exists in this. not the point) and an ideal: animal instinct and human reason, animal strength and power with human conscience/consciousness using and channeling that strength and power. as most members of this society ride horses, the "control of" (partnership with, rather) of an animal that big and powerful is like microdosing on controlling forces beyond one's grasp (the divine). socially and societally, the horse is at the center of their economic surviving system as it aids in travel, in agriculture, in warfare, in games (that serve cohesion of the community), in construction, in entertainment and spiritual life (string instruments using horse hair), etc.
the second main animal of their spiritual life, with lesser social/societal importance, is the snake. it is a chthonian animal associated with death (crawls on and burrows in the ground, realm of the death), but also with rebirth (molting), both very important to the community as many who were not born in it (like the main character of the story) (not pictured there) (oh yeah i haven't mentioned it. those are parts of the supporting cast. WINK) but rather came there, came after a death (social, spiritual, mental and, for some but very few, literal/physical).
the third animal of their spiritual life is the lizard, associated with rebirth through molting also, but more important due to its behavior of autotomy: self-amputation and discarding of the tail when caught by a predator in order to escape, and regrowing it later.
