they probably cant love me back in a human or even mammalian sense, but my goldfish with their smooth pea-sized brain have learned to trust that i will make them better when they are sick. i feel like crying about this often

Maybe Princess the tarantula never had anything resembling what we as humans know as emotions, but she still came out of her burrow and up to the glass when we’d talk to her and used to stare at the drawing I’d tape to her terrarium. Maybe she couldn’t even comprehend what we were, but she knew we were there to take care of her. And even if she never showed that sort of curiosity or trust we’d still love her.

Idk if Munchie the praying mantis felt love for me, but I do know he trusted me enough to climb onto my hand when offered and was comfortable with allowing me to carry him places despite me being absolutely massive in comparison to him. So that's close enough in my book.

when I give my parrot fresh food and water he verbally tells me he loves me while trying to rend the flesh from my hand

if you ever find yourself writing fanfiction and thinking "this is too indulgent" that is the devil talking and he can go ahead and shut the fuck up

most important part of the writing process actually is when you loop a single song on max volume and stare at the word document and imagine the characters doing things for 14 hours. this is known as getting in the zone

"you should be at the club" I should be working on my fanfic

6. making eye contact with an npc is an act of aggression

*swoon*~

I actually like JKR feuding in public with David Tennant, because it lets normal people see what a deranged, bigoted fanatic she's become.

Like I think there are lots of normie liberal types who think that "she just has an opinion!" who are now finding out that she's a bloodthirsty fascist-adjacent goon with an all-consuming psychosexual obsession with other people's genitals.

these are called fossil words! here's a whole list

Also interested in words that originally had opposites but don’t anymore; i.e. how we say ruthless but not ruth.
