“There was more to him than met the eye. It’s something unnameable. He lives within a very tight confines - emotionally, physically… He lives a solitary kind of existence. But you always knew there was an agenda; it was a question of what was that agenda going to turn out to be? Mysterious. He’s very focused. Eventually, you get to find out who he is. Innocence, Lost. Resentful. Responsibility. It’s not so much what you choose to do, as not disobeying. And what does this word ‘Loyalty’ mean?Vulnerable. But you’re not really aware of it. Brave. To the end. It’s been a complete privilege.”

Cats like to mimic what other members if their cat groups are doing. In human enviroments, this translates to cats following humans (who they see as part of their group) and trying to mimic activities they are doing.

The Enigma of Amigara Fault

This short story by Junji Ito is about a fault that appears in Amigara mountain after an earthquake. The earthquake exposes countless human-shaped holes in the mountain which seem to have been made about a thousand years ago. People, intrigued by these  silhouettes, gather at the site and that’s when things get creepy.

my first exposure to both of them was watching PS at the age of 6. but I’ve seen Alan in so much since then that I’ve separated him from Snape. and I’ve read the books (and fanfic) so many more times than I’ve watched the film that I’ve separated Snape from Alan.

basically it’s like this

I would still love Alan if he hadn’t played Snape. I would have seen him in Love Actually or Die Hard and been like I love this incredible man

I would still love Snape if he hadn’t been played by Alan. I would have seen whoever played him in the film and I would have read him in the books and been like I love this gremlin man
