I love Pallas cats. (Manul)

They’re such funny little creatures.

((If I made a Dareth Playlist it would be incomprehensible. You would be very powerful for listening to the whole thing. I would applaud you, as you would potentially understand the exact vibes I give him.))

#mun rambles #the real question is would anyone listen to it.... #(me a person who does not use playlists and instead remembers every song and manulally looked them up to listen to)

As on the east jamb of the doorway, one expects Mut with a syncretistic name for the lioness-headed goddess. If she is not simply labeled as Mw .t nb .t p .t, she could be Mut-Bastet (as on the east jamb) or Mut-Sekhmet; there is not enough space for Mut-Weret-Hekau. One notes that in the dedicatory text on the east wall in the bark shrine of Mut in the triple shrine of the Ramesside Court, Ramesses II refers to having made the monument for his mother Mut-Bastet (KRI 2, 615/16-616-1). The prominence accorded to Mut as Bastet on the east wall of the triple shrine mirrors the importance of the lioness-headed goddess in the first register scenes on the east and west jambs of the north portal of the Colonnade Hall. One may also note that the word ms survives in the words spoken by Mut-Bastet on the east wall of the Mut shrine (KRI 2, 616/6), recalling the texts accompanying the lioness goddess on pl. 149.

quarantine tag game

I was tagged by @feedingmyinsomnia, thank you! <3

ARE YOU STAYING HOME FROM WORK AND SCHOOL? I do not have anywhere to stay home *from*, luckily.

IF YOU’RE STAYING HOME, WHO IS THERE WITH YOU? my husband.

ARE YOU A HOMEBODY? yes! I like staying home, although I do wish it was more voluntary. And that, when I do go out, I could not worry about taking public transport..

AN EVENT THAT YOU WERE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT GOT CANCELLED? Well, we live in Spain and our families are in Germany. Usually we visit a few times a year, but obviously that hasn’t happened in a year now. The only specific plans we had were Easter last year, but obviously normally we would also have gone for Christmas. There was also a wedding that has been.. more or less indefinitely postponed. But not cancelled. (They did the civic part, but the celebration with friends and families is not happening until it’s safe)

WHAT MOVIES HAVE YOU WATCHED RECENTLY? I don’t watch movies, watching things costs people energy *and* sensory input processing energy.

WHAT SHOWS ARE YOU WATCHING? Same as above - I do not watch things. (If I did, i’d consider watching the Witcher, or rewatching Good Omens - i never got far into a second time watching it, although i have it on DVD)

WHAT MUSIC ARE YOU LISTENING TO? Umm.. The Amazing Devil is new on my list. Other than that.. whatever comes to my mind and i can find online. I’ve been dipping back into my teenage depression music and the music friends introduced me to at uni. (If you want to know more, and can stand to me rambling about things, you’re welcome to come talk to me!)

WHAT ARE YOU READING? Mostly fanfic. I really struggle to read new worlds and characters. I read Hunger Pangs: True Love Bites last year, that was good! But then, Joy is good at writing an original world like it’s fanfic! Currently I’m trying to get my brain on board with reading Gideon The Ninth.. we are still in negotiation.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR SELF-CARE? Does “eating a fuckton of sweets” count? XD More seriously, I am eternally grateful to my husband for keeping me on something at least vaguely resembling a regular schedule, making me go to bed every night and get up every afternoon. I take my antidepressants every day, together with some multivitamin and extra vitamin D. I do an online yoga class every Sunday, I have knit night and Spanish class on zoom ever Thursday. I have a daily phone reminder to “check in for self-care” that makes me check if i need to eat, drink, go to the loo, stretch, take painkillers, ... And I keep in contact with friends. I may not have anyone but my husband to meet here, but I’ve met most of my friends exclusively online for a long time anyway. I can do that a few more years or decades. And it helps to check in on each other. Even if all we do is complain at each other and make understanding noises when the other complains. (I also read fanfic, and have a tab open with a google image search for “manul kittens”. Bc they make everything better)

I’m not tagging anyone in specific, but if you’re reading this, I do want to know your answers! Yes you. Yes, even if we’ve never spoken. Yes, even if we speak every day. Yes, even if we’ve spoken, but not recently. Really. I just don’t want to tag anyone who might be.. unable to deal with the topic at the moment.

#tag game #quarantine #own post #as always: if you wanna talk about any of these things #you are welcome to ask! #or if you're looking for a topic to start a conversation with.. #i know i've been in that situation XD #and yes i have started conversations with 'hi. i don't know what to say but i want to talk to you' #but that's an advanced move and if you want a topic.. feel free to use something from this post

Is it wrong to say I’m terrified of ashfur? He reminds me of a person I knew he acts just like him and its terrifying, he was just like him acting like a no one who was nice and… then i rejected him and he went crazy and manulative I lost everything and- oof I’m sorry I’m rambling and ack I should go sorry for bothering you

You’re not bothering me!!

there’s way more people like ashfur than there should be, a lot of people have had similar experiences and that’s why a lot of people hate him so much or feel very uncomfortable, or even triggered when talking about him!!

#warrior cats #ashfur #maybe i should make a specific tag for him #like ashfur tw #just in case #abuse tw #firepaw-the-warrior-freak

Tibetan Foxes and Pallas cats are apparently arch enemies?!

Which I think is hysterical.

Especially since I think they’re both amazing creatures.

They’re already two of the funniest animals on the planet to begin with so this just makes it better.

What would a faceoff between the two even look like?!

“Git tae FECK!!!! What are you? Look at you! What even? Why do you have a square head?”

Idk why but this is way more funny than it has any right to be.

I love Pallas cats. They’re so funny.

Pallas cats are so underrated.

I love them.

They’re such funny little beasties.
