I like the idea that fruitwani are either like real world crocodiles and hunted for luxury leather goods — or they’re like domestic pigs or sports dogs where the little babies are high end pets but are typically tossed asides as adults
Like that having a bunch of bananawani is Crocodile’s rich person charity cause or something. Like politicians and celebs who get really into rescuing pitbulls or greyhounds. Some public statements about how bananawani are GREAT pets but NOT for beginners and theyre so smart and loving why would you make one into a handbag????
Yeee They're definitely hard to manage for any beginner or owner that doesn't want to understand their behavioural patterns. They maybe look evil like they want to kill you, but gators just have that resting "imgonnakillyou" face that's all
I had to share this masterpiece from yt beause its absolute INTENTIONAL STUFF GOIN ON HERE OK-
and yeah i had the urge to screenshot each moment and put them next to each other cos seeing the similarities together are crazy, and ignore how unecassary it was to do but YEAH TOO LATE
darn 30pic limit oh well i tried and yes ignore how i couldnt get rid of the suggestions for the second to last parallel which is annoying cos its probs the craziest one <33
"My father wouldn't send you," Arya said. She snatched up her stick sword. The Lannisters laughed.
"Put down the stick, girl," Ser Meryn told her. "I am a Sworn Brother of the Kingsguard, the White Swords."
"So was the Kingslayer when he killed the old king," Arya said. "I don't have to go with you if I don't want." (Arya, AGOT)
arya really just cut that white cloak to shreds with one line lol the kingsguard arent worth shit. if they can't even be relied upon to uphold their sworn oath to defend their own king why uphold their other oaths of knighthood to defend the weak, the innocents, women, children, ect? they won't and they don't. they aren't there to help arya. they are literally there to arrest her. and if they had captured her they wouldve harmed her.
when they first arrived arya almost falls for the kingsguard's illusion of authority as they claim to be there on her father's behalf, but syrio holds her back. this gives arya the chance to remember that they are no allies of hers. they are not her fathers men. they are not even guaranteed to be the king's men - whoever the king may be (arya's not even aware of it yet but thats joffrey, in this scene, and he is no friend of hers) at their core the kingsguard are hired thugs and arya cannot trust them.
I love you slow and deliberate story telling that let's us really take in everything that the world has already lost before it loses everything else.
I love you heartachingly relatable main character who craves the sense of community you can find in the most mundane places
I love you running theme of kindness persevering even when the world is going to end because it is always possible to choose to be kind.
I love you constant reminder that if you rush to do everything before you die, then you won't be able to stop and soak it all in and when those moments become memories they will feel so fleeting but the small moments spent with people who you just like being around will sink into your bones if you let it.
I love you message of how connection and love is so so cruel when you know you'll lose it soon but you can't help but make those connections anyway because that sorrow only proves you loved and were loved so much that it was worth the pain.
one of the primary joycon texts is said to be at least 40 years old, right? we know kevin wrote this text while he was in the dow, so the question becomes is this "40 years" in dow time or nv time?
darryl was 10 when he became an official congregation member. if the text were 40 dow years old that would make it only 4 nv years old, making the joycon too young to have cared for darryl.
that means kevin brought this text back to desert bluffs 40 nv years ago. he started preaching about worship of the smiling god 40 years ago.
you know what else happened 40 years ago?
Night Vale, today is the birthday of Leonard Burton. Many of you are too young to remember Leonard. He was my mentor, my friend, and my predecessor at this radio station. I watched him die nearly 40 years ago right outside this very radio station on Mesa Boulevard, when a cargo truck ran him over.
around the same time kevin was achieving control and autonomy over his town by utilizing his new religion, cecil was achieving control and autonomy over his town by virtue of the death of his mentor
