A fashionable suit of armour

Based on the present contents of my dash, this week's relationship goals are a snarky witch and/or disgraced medical doctor with alt-with-a-hint-of-goth fashion sense who's older than you by just enough to make her hooking up with you a little bit eyebrow-raising and regards making you take unlabelled drugs as a bonding activity.

“-but that’s enough tangent, let’s get back to the main point.” I say, ignoring the bartenders desperate attempts to make eye contact with anyone else. “It cant actually be a dichotomy based on diet, because then the placement of badgers and otters doesn’t make sense. But the anthropic explanation also doesn’t hold water because have you ever met a gardener who likes moles? Not to mention foxes are generally considered pretty handsome. The conservation angle also ignores that wildcats have been high on the priority list for decades. So the quest for an overarching single theory is probably the wrong focus-”

i mean it’s not like i can just NOT reblog amigara fault. what if one of my followers is one of the lucky ten thousand who HASN’T been unutturably altered for life by it yet? go read it! it’s creepy, but trust me, it was made for you.

they should invent a term for shipping were I don't think they should be in a romantic relationship however I believe they are each others parasite and separating them is not an option

I know that Ea-nasir is like a meme these days but it is wild that we have complaint letters from 1750 BC. That's over three thousand years before the release of Belgian techno anthem "Pump Up the Jam".
