#I’m just having Big Emotions

[the-adventures-of-dave]

I think this summer, in addition to building a new catio, I’m gonna try to get the cats out hiking more. This is just a big vent/ramble under the cut.

The last couple years we haven’t been out as much. A part of it is just mental health making it hard to Do Stuff, but also I’m apprehensive about going hiking on my own with the cats. I’m not really concerned about coyotes or bears or elk, but the prevalence of off leash dogs on trails still makes me afraid for my and the cats’ safety. I can do everything right and responsible with my cats and still have someone’s dog chase or attack us— both have happened before and will again if we go out. It’s just frustrating that other people’s irresponsibility and selfishness keeps me from enjoying time outside with my pet. I can only control myself- I can’t control someone’s “””friendly””” dog that is “good” off leash and *only* chases people for 15ft before going back to its owner. It’s not barking and chasing for 50 ft, so it’s fine right?

All that being said, I think I might try to do what I can to better prepare myself and my cats for encounters like that and actually get out again. I can tell Dave misses hiking and being outside, and my mental health has gotten worse staying indoors all the time.

Cat wise I’m gonna try to train the cats’ recall better this spring, and maybe invest in some shorter leashes to keep them closer by on walks. I was also considering getting a hard-shelled cat backpack and seeing if they’d like cycling. Dogs can’t kill them if we’re on a bike…

#this post is brought to you by: depression and the Instagram post I saw today where someone’s cat got mauled #ughhh this is all so frustrating #I USED to like dogs #I WANT to like dogs! #I like the idea of dogs #I like dog photos #I like my like 3 dogblr mutuals who are actually decent dog owners! #however I am now afraid of dogs #bc SOME people think it’s more important to let their dog run around off leash #than to keep other hikers safe and comfortable #I go to leash only trails. I go to no dog trails. I tell people I’m afraid of dogs when they pass by #what more do they want from me 😭😭 #all I want is for your dog to be walking nicely on a leash when it’s in eyesight #is that really too much to ask #i’ll probably delete this later #I’m just having Big Emotions #aughhh

happy valentines to my one true love (lego knuckles & his mech & his big rock)

“reference” aka look at him <3

#art✨ #knuckles the echidna #emotional support echidna #sonic #lego sonic #it’s SUCH a good set. sorry rouge isn’t here i spent so long on ‘just a quick sketch of the mech it won’t take too long- #the jay rose lineart curse struck again. there’s a good reason i abandoned coloring it though. #i’ve been having fun w the more painterly shading again. welcome back gouche brush + 50% multiple magenta :D #big fan of the pearlescent green for the emerald #ignore the teeny gem i stuck in the top they give you a few tiny ones (chaos emeralds???) to put inside and i fidget :] #i haven’t drawn in months i’m so happy rn

[why-the-heck-not]

started a sourdough starter!!! It’s not even that much abt bread; I just like the idea of having a pet and this is about the max amount of responsibility I’m looking for rn

#an emotional support living flour sludge if u will #altho the conditions aren’t ideal rn: it’s negative degrees so I don’t have a warm enough of a place probably so if (big if) it starts to #ferment it’ll take longer (which means u gotta be extra much on the lookout for mold) #could put it in the oven with just the light on but that freaks me out; I don’t wanna have the oven on for like days (even tho it wouldn’t #actually be on) #also I only have all-purpose flour & whole meal is the best one to induce fermentation #also the flour is past it’s best before date bc I haven’t rly been baking (also one of thr reasons I’m doing this bc like gotta use #up the flour somehow) #so u know we’ll see if anything comes out of this #if nothing else at least I’ll have a project for a couple days #also I’m not naming it yet; that’s for when it’s going strong bc I don’t need to be crying after getting emotionally attached to a #blob of flour & water when said blob dies tragically #march 2024 #2024

WANT CON TO STOP TALKING ABOUT NOT EATING CAKE IT’S ACTUALLY MAKING ME SO SAD

#izzy hands #con o’neill #TO BE CLEAR #he’s allowed to say whatever he likes and if the idea of diet restriction triggers me that’s on me #i don’t know him and what he does and says is none of my business #he’s allowed to eat as much or as little cake as he pleases #but like #😭😭😭you get cake NOW- right con? right? #i’m just emotional lol #ignore me i’m being silly #i just hope he KNOWS it’s ok for him not to diet and do intensive workouts #and that we don’t expect a certain body type of him #which he might not know bc y’all keep drawing izzy with abs or stick thin (which is fine but con engages a LOT with fanart) #i’m digging myself into a hole arent i #i just have big feelings haha #i don’t want con to feel like he needs to diet all the time and i hope he knows he can stop if he wants to #but it’s not my place to communicate that to him and it makes me nervous not knowing if he knows that

actually I really hate being considered a big blog. if I said I only have 10 followers would anyone believe me

#rambles from the floor #rant fueled by weird emotions incoming watch out #feel free to ignore (in fact please do I’ll probably delete this) #I think I’m getting worn out by this fandom #or something idk #I don’t like being big #there’s that whole intimidation factor that comes into play that I DESPISE #‘well you have a lot of followers so you’re scary’ why???? #why does other people deciding to follow me make me scary #I don’t understand #plus I always feel like posts about big blogs are vagueing about me #even if they aren’t #and everybody always NEEDS to know my stance on fandom crap and I get political asks for some reason and #and #*falls on the floor face-first* please just treat me normally guys #I’m twenty [redacted] years old and I’m barely holding my life together as is

IWCTW!Damian having to relearn how to suppress his stims, because his grandfather doesn’t like it, after nearly 20yrs of learning how to feel comfortable with expressing himself. 

(Clark catching Damian stimming, only for Damian to immediately try to bluff his way out of it, because it’s been months back with the League and Damian’s relearned that stimming is dangerous. Clark starts showing up with potential stim-toys, being super-casual and even framing some of them as requests. Like, “I’ve been thinking about giving something like this to my son, can you test it and make sure it both works and is safe please? Oh no, you can keep that one. I’ll get Jon another.”)

#iwctw (time travel) #cw: abuse mention #cw: child abuse #autistic damian wayne #autistic damian al ghul #damian wayne #damian al ghul #(Damian Brown in this verse—nope I’m still emotional about that) #superman #clark kent #superbatfam #superdad #my writing #mine #// #Clark accidentally buying Damian one of the same toys his family gave him and Damian just… shutting down. #He only gets more upset when Clark says Damian doesn’t need to keep it if he doesn’t want it #He wants it! It’s his now you can’t have it back! #(I mean Damian's words are more like ''It's not a big deal; I'll take care of it.'' But the casualness is a bluff to hide how desperate he #is to have that thing. Clark knows Damian well enough by this point to recognize the difference.) #Clark wondering where the hell Damian is stashing those particular gifts because Clark never sees them again after handing them over. #(Damian covets anything that reminds him of his past life; it's the closest he thinks he'll ever be to those people again.) #((When the truth comes out and they all come clean; Clark being approached by a frighteningly serious Dick & 3 kids Clark barely knows #over the course of like a couple weeks; all of whom call him ''Uncle Clark'' and want to thank him for looking after their baby brother. #They were so worried about Damian; about what he might be enduring; about what they couldn't save him from. #Damian's already come so far; sure some of it is the extra memories but a lot of it is care & support. #They really couldn't have asked for anyone better.))

I think obi wan caring about padme and grieving her is so much more touching to me than anakin simply because it gives more depth to the characters

Everyone knows how much anakin and obi wan meant to each other. But showing that it isn’t just anakin that he lost, but everyone. The idea that padme deserves to be remembered and missed not only on behalf of what she meant to anakin, but for who she was and her impact on others as well

It hits harder, it makes you want to fill in all of these little holes of interaction that we never got to see. It shows that while anakin is at the center of if there was so much else that was lost. Deepens the tragedy of the entire situation

#now I’m just imagining them having a drink and talking shit about anakin #while padme makes snide comments about satine #people forget they where friends #in big part because of their mutual love for anakin #but they also literally met before he was even introduced #star wars #padme amidala #obi wan kenobi #kenobi spoilers #kenobi series #this is not a diss against anakin or his importance btw #they are the heart of the prequels #I’m just emotional over padme #you can tell a character is forgotten about when 3 lines that don’t even mention her by name do more for her legacy #than most things in the last decade

the sixth doctor. reblog if you agree

#I’m in full doodling hearts around blorbo mode #he’s soft! he loves attention! he has a loud voice and makes big speeches! #he’s an adrenaline junkie! he loves his friends so much! he has big emotions that he doesn’t know what to do with! #he has deep-rooted doubts about the value of his whole existence but chooses to try to do the right thing anyway! #he’s a terrible flirt! he can’t read emotions! he likes good food and comfort! he has just enough meta awareness to make him sad sometimes! #he’s basically a giant cat in human form but also not human! he also loves actual cats! he wears ridiculous clothes! #he is coping really quite well with his mental illness! it would help if people would stop putting him in mind control machines! #he has no respect for authority figures unless they’ve earned it! #but he is great at having conversations with people whose worldviews are very different! #he grows and changes over many stories in at least four different media! #no five I forgot the stage show! #I love him!!!!!

Thinking intensely about how Luke, in his final moments, trusts the force only for it to do nothing for him. He was betrayed by it just as he was betrayed when his chance to study under Obi Wan was ripped away from him and given to another. He gave one last chance to this force which was promised to save the galaxy, to save him and yet when he called out for it, it abandoned him

#(posts that make no sense to ACTUAL Star Wars fans lmao) #film reroll #the film reroll #rogue two #I also like the other interpretation I’ve been thinking about #with how Luke went after the TIE fighter that killed Bigs and in doing so basically opened himself up to his death here #in his quest for revenge so full of rage and grief those emotions still flowed through him when he called upon the force #and that emotion ultimately ended up quite literally destroying him #(I have no idea how the force ACTUALLY works nobody come for me I’m just thinking about frr Luke too much) #(gonna have to write something for him because he is making me go CRAZY)

#that boney bat just clicked in my mind #i’m already have idea to give him the big bat family #nõnda blood releated family because he was the only and golden child #he will have a little old servant and he loves his servant like a son that he’ll never get #This mouse can also catch fire it depends on his emotions

I do have to say that I’m in love with every single one of the main characters in this show.

#Luffy is a character that in another genre would be the goofy sidekick but instead he’s the main character and can never die #and honestly I love that for him #Nami is a girlboss and the smartest person in the room by default #Zoro is an emo sword boy but in a fun way #Ussop is incredibly charming and I love the fact that he’s the only one with any romantic storyline #I even like Koby even though I’m only 4 episodes in and there’s a lot of potential for him to fuck things up #but he’s so conflicted and also genuinely wants to do the right thing #I’m very interested to see his storyline #honestly I even kind of like Helmeppo #just a pathetic loser of a man #also I know Shanks is only in flashbacks but he could fucking Get It #also the villains so far have been legitimately creepy #but then the show ends up being very uplifting and wholesome without any emotional whiplash #also sorry to the fans of the original I am new here and I’m sorry if I am mischaractering your blorbos #I’m just a big fan #opla

going insane over the fact that happiness and care and concern and love is underneath every interaction between newt and hermann in pacific rim

#HEAR ME OUT. they’re introduced and newt and being a groupie and behind him hermann is all huffing and rolling his eyes and shaking his #head but he’s Not Angry. no. he jumps to defend newt albeit in a somewhat mocking and sarcastic way BUT THE THOUGHT IS THERE. and then when #hermann is rambling on about numbers being the handwriting of god newt is in the background smiling and laughing and making silly #hand motions and yes the hand motion was a bit mocking BUT THATS THEIR WHOLW THINF. anyways i’m not done. when newt drifts with the kaiju #and pentecost is there talking to him and hermann and newt r yelling back in forth u can hear the unease and shakiness in their voices and #especially the frustration in hermanns. he’s frustrated abt newt risking his life and is worried abt that which translates out in anger. #and yeah maybe he’s salty abt being proven wrong too lmao. BUT CONTINUING ON. stacker could have just told newt to go to hannibal chau and #he would have done it. but instead they watch the film of him on HERMANNS computer as HERMANN controls the computer to look at the film. if #thé film was shown it was for a reason. newt doesn’t seem like the type to need reassurance abt chau before he goes. he was willing to die #for his trash drift. and stacker gave him the card and info so there’s no need to do anything else. the video is most likely there for the #viewers but it needs a reason to be there in the show. hence my reasoning that HERMANN asked to see it out of concern for newt who would be #doinf this alone. hermann demanded to see some proof to reassure himself. stacker having the card on him makes sense. him having that bulky #tape doesn’t. meaning hermann pressured him into leaving getting the tape and coming back to show him. anyways one more bit. so the drift. #hermann is clearly scared out of his mind and thinking abt the impending triple event. yet he still drifts with newt he does it to protect #him to take part of the neural load. and it takes a toll on hermann it makes a big enough mess of his brain that he ends with him bleeding #and shaking and sweating and coughing and throwing up. and he knew it would take a toll. he knew it would be a lot he’s seen the jaegers. #he’s seen what happens. he knows it will be rough. he knows it’ll be much worse for him who wasn’t drifted then for newt who has. yet he #still does it to help newt and to show his care and trust and concern and love and THEYRE DRIFT COMPATIBLE U DONT UNDERSTANDABLE HOW #EMOTIONAL I AM OVER THIS FUCKING OVER THEM #anyways one last thing. the way that they full body slapping each other on the back bear hugged when the throat collapsed (they were behind #herc and tendo so it was a little hard to see. i missed it the first time) in pure adrenaline happiness before we see the quiet tender hug #when they know everything is over for good (for now at least) when it’s time to celebrate when it time to think abt their drift and their #bond and their relationship and their LOVE. i’m so ok abt them rn actually #toad.txt #i wish i wrote this in a keep reading bit and not the tags now. anyways #pacific rim #pacific rim spoilers #newton geiszler #hermann gottlieb #newmann

I’M NOT CRYING, YOU’RE CRYING

#attack on titan #dead ass tho I am… so emotional right now #I have been for hours #it’s like… a good emotional but also kinda uncomfy #cause like… I feel emotions REALLY big #like WAY WAAAYYYYY bigger than most people #and I have no one to talk to right now #so I’m just…… #vibing #it’s not bad but I’m gonna be hella outta sorts for a while
