All pet snakes need enrichment. Just because they don’t have feet doesn’t mean they don’t need to get out and stretch.

The rotating has a little bit of bounce to it, similar to a tree branch.

The snake is twisting in and out, which is good for the muscles and ligaments.

The snake is sniffing its environment, getting all the new smells and old smells and activating the little thinky parts in the brain.

The snake is safe and can go for as long as they please.

Additionally my grandmother married one of her guy friends because her job offered dental insurance to employees and spouses and he needed some dental work done. They got married, processed the paperwork, got his dental problems fixed, made sure all the insurance payments went through, and divorced.

Aaravos was/is the only one there for you

Aaravos believed/believes in your potential (so live up to it)

Aaravos gave you magic specifically to fulfill that potential

Magic—dark magic—is what separates humans from "worthless, stupid, dirty animals"

Like it is honestly astounding that Claudia is willing to even consider giving up dark magic in s6, given that dark magic makes up basically 90% of her own perceived self-worth:

So ok look. The point is not the flared leg by itself. These cannot be yoga pants. These are, and you have to understand this if you are too young to have worn them, BLUE JEANS. And this was the last years before all jeans were 70% spandex.

They were denim, and they weren't bell bottoms. They hung loose from the knee in a way that would make a wizard envious. We all walked around like we were wearing hakama. And they dragged on the ground. That was important. Ragged cuffs. If your jeans weren't so long that they had ratty cuffs, they were embarrassingly short.

And the thing about denim is that it's a twill weave and it's cotton. So not only does it hold a lot of water, it wicks. Walking around in these suckers on a wet day could get you wet to the knees even if you never stepped in a puddle.

Then you'd go inside and take off your shoes and try to avoid letting your freezing, wet, filthy pant legs touch your skin.

And the wider the pant legs were, the higher the risk that they kept getting stuck together, which made all of it so much worse.

These were the tight-lacing corsets of the 00's. Young people suffered to wear these. And adults were fucking upset about them. (Though it was like 70% because kids were wearing their jeans so low that they showed significant amounts of underwear. But that's a different story, and the impracticality and perceived absurdity of the length of these jeans were still a main argument.)

I remember in like 2008 when the jean trends had taken a sharp turn toward skinny jeans that end right where your foot starts, and there was also a new trend of putting your socks over your jeans. I didn't really follow trends at that point, and I refused to wear the skinny jeans, but someone convinced me to try putting my socks over my jeans.

And when I tried it I was so confused? Like what do you mean you don't have to be all cold and wet and exhausted because you have to carry a bunch of water in your pant legs? Are you telling me I could have been this comfortable all along?
