#hobbes

Flashback to nursing Hobbes. It was a long journey with a lot of ugly medications.

Such a tiny little guy that refused to give up!

Take a meandering journey up Hudson’s arm with me

So I was spending some time contemplating Hudson’s tattoo, as you do, and suddenly I’m all, 🗯️ oh my god. Tiger stripes! On his bum! Calvin and Hobbes! Hobbes wiggling his bum! Hobbes! Tiger stripes! Bum!

💭I bet his bum’s new tiger stripes are why he got the Hobbes tattoo with the wiggling bum! I am impressed with my impressive intellect and terribly proud to be me.

*belatedly discovers Hobbes was his first tattoo*

I like my Hobbes on my biceps. It was my first tattoo, and it's based on my favorite books growing up, Calvin and Hobbes. I was always told I was Calvin because I was a little shit, and so I was like, “Okay, well, I'll get my imaginary best friend tattooed on my arm.”

🔮🫪 Clearly Hudson had premonitions of his own sassy, really very tiger-striped wiggle-bum.

Hudson: 🔮👀👍 Clappable tiger stripes. Clap them stripes. Got me some saucy stripes. Clappable. 🐅👏

𝒩aturals fun fact: did u guys know hobbes & locke are names of philosophers? 🧐📖✍️

brought to you by © dove

its quite funny to me because the philosopher hobbes believed humans are naturally selfish & prone to conflict so without a strong authority everything would fall into madness. but locke on the other hand thought that people are capable of being reasonable and respecting each others rights (the irony in this imdead)

locke believed people are born with natural rights that exist before any government & those rights cant just be taken away.

but hobbes thought that if you want peace & security, you have to give up many of your freedoms to a powerful ruler whose authority should be absolute (pythia) (???) once that has happened, citizens dont have the right to rebel or question the government because doing so risks making everything descend into chaos.

locke disagreed with that as he believed that if a government breaks the social contract by failing to protect peoples natural rights, the citizens have the right to overthrow it and replace it.
