Freud: Que objeção pode haver contra os animais? Eu prefiro a companhia dos animais à companhia humana.

George Sylvester Viereck: Por quê?

Freud: Porque são tão mais simples. Não sofrem de uma personalidade dividida, da desintegração do ego, que resulta da tentativa do homem de adaptar-se a padrões de civilização demasiado elevados para o seu mecanismo intelectual e psíquico. O selvagem, como o animal, é cruel, mas não tem a maldade do homem civilizado. A maldade é a vingança do homem contra a sociedade, pelas restrições que ela impõe. As mais desagradáveis características do homem são geradas por esse ajustamento precário a uma civilização complicada. É o resultado do conflito entre nossos instintos e nossa cultura. Muito mais agradáveis são as emoções simples e diretas de um cão, ao balançar a cauda, ou ao latir expressando seu desprazer. As emoções do cão (acrescentou Freud pensativamente) lembram-nos os heróis da Antigüidade. Talvez seja essa a razão por que inconscientemente damos aos nossos cães nomes de heróis antigos como Aquiles e Heitor.

(Freud, na entrevista "O valor da vida", 1926)

TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO LOVE AND CHERISH YOUR FRIENDS(ACCEPTING!!!)

Warning! Mun is quite tired atm so responses might be shorter than intended D:

Okay so hear me out. Lion is a national treasure. I’m not American but I can totally get away with saying this because I write a Mayor. Shh it’s how it works. ANYWAY. Like with others in this community, Lion basically kicked my door down, yelled in a language I have gotten the hang of understanding, threw photos of Dan Stevens ( @whosyourcultdaddy ) all over the place, and then yeeted off to another fandom, leaving my room in a flurry before there was a proper chance to figure out what was going on.

Not that this is a bad thing, far from it! She’s got this boundless energy, even when she is another unfortunate target of work beating her over the head with a wooden plank. I’ve taken great pleasure in sending a silly meme of some sort and waiting for the Lion-ese reaction over the short time we’ve known one another. :D

Plus! She’s able to work with a wide variety of characters. Life has been busy so I haven’t seen much of it when it comes to threads, but Lion has spoken to me about various muses and it’s hard not to be impressed. And have you seen the edits?? Literal magic. It’s a mystery I still can’t figure out.

beep beep how’s my portrayal?

There aren’t and it’s super weird but aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!! thank you so much!!! I’m going to make sure I keep playing her just right (hence why replies are occasionally on standstill so I can get wording right).

“Mark, whatever they paid you, I’ll double it for you to leave me alone.” Not an uncommon request, but an uncommon setting for it. Usually Celine doesn’t mind waking up when Mark does, especially if it means she gets a few extra hours of time to herself- if he’s up early, nine out of ten times it’s for an audition. She doesn’t mind the gentle urgings to wake up, the clatter of hangers and cologne bottles as Mark loudly gets himself ready for the day. It’s become comfortable by now, as has most of married life. 

But today, she’d rather just... ignore the fact she’s married. For the past three days, it had been an easy feat- Mark was working nights and usually slept right through her... her incidents. This was his first morning with her in awhile, and she wished to God it wasn’t. 

Gingerly, Celine’s moving his arm off of her waist, pulling away from the the stifling closeness he liked to use to wake her up. She felt like she was burning up already, and there was a familiar woozy feeling in the pit of her stomach she’d rather get sorted sooner than later. “... I’m sorry, darling, just- not right now. Please? We have all day.”
