owning a dog is the casual reminder that we are the same humans as the millennia before. how many generations of each of our species have simply chosen this partnership, over and over. he looks up at me and i know something my ancestors also knew: we were not built to be on this planet alone.

just thinking about dream knowing sapnap for almost ten years now and dream saying “the best friends you’ll ever have are the ones you don’t have to try for” and sapnap telling dream when he was younger and wanting to quit his job that he would “follow him wherever he goes” and dream and sapnap saying “i love you brother” to each other and sapnap being the person dream goes to when he needs advice and reassurance and. now they live together. for the foreseeable future. and they make food together and patches— who dream said was very skittish and didn’t warm up to people easily— loves sapnap like she loves dream and they sit in each other’s rooms while one of them plays games and they’re both just waiting up for george because they all love each other so much :’)
