This hidden gem KILLED ME
huge news for my fellow fictional map enthusiasts. i think i just found a (semi-)canon map of wayne manor
from The Batman Sourcebook for the DC Heroes RPG, published in 1989:
“Oh that animal doesn’t LIKE you it just TOLERATES you”
…..So? If that’s the most a non-social organism can feel towards you isn’t that just as special an honor as whatever it is you think affection means??
“This creature with no natural social instincts outside of mating allows me to freely interact with it, while causing it little stress” is fucking DOPE AS SHIT
also… are you SURE? like, we’re still finding out so much about animals. Wolverines fathers, who we thought were not involved in caring for kits, turn out to travel around and collect all their kits from multiple mothers and take the whole group out on camping trips. Some spiders have tiny frog pets (!) or group up to communally raise their young. Wild sharks, crocodiles, and snakes have formed strong, documented relationships with people.
this man Gilberto (Chito) Shedden nursed this crocodile back to health after it was shot in the eye, and they were best friends for the rest of the crocodile’s life.
this python came in out of the wild as a baby snake and curled up next to the family’s infant, Oun Sambat (or Oeun Sambat?) and they were inseparable for 12 years
Cristina Zenato removes hooks from sharks and they let her stick her hand down their throat to do it and they even bring other sharks who need help to see her.
It’s a relationship that goes beyond a single helpful interaction. For example one of the sharks that would show up when she first started swimming with them was a shark she called Foggy Eye who really didn’t like to be touched. One day, Foggy Eye showed up with a hook in her mouth that Cristina Zenato removed, and ever after, Foggy Eye cuddles when she visits, putting her head in Cristina’s lap and enjoying some petting
We don’t know SO much. Some wolf spiders will adopt unrelated orphaned spiderlings and raise them. We recently discovered that the ant-mimicking jumping spider (below) produces “milk” and suckles its young until they are nearly fully grown.
SO. Don’t assume we know all about what creatures do or feel or whether or not they form social connections or bond with others.
We’re told octopuses are solitary.
That’s the story.
They live alone. They die alone.
Except for Octopus City where they live in a social collective.
Except that I watched with my own fucking eyes a giant Northwest Pacific Octopus who my friend social for an aquariums interact. He hadn’t seen her in a year. He reacted to meeting us and to getting treats? But all he wanted to do was see her, touch her, show her his enrichment items. After a year he recognized her and the response was “YOUR BACK AUNTIE YOURE BACK I MISSED YOU LOOK WHAT I WAS DOING WHAT DO YOU THINK BUT YOURE BACK hi nice to meet your friends YOURE BACK.”
Fucking yeah ok 👍 solitary nonsocial. Idk. If it acts like it loves you then it does. In its way.
The guy who literally wrote the book on wolf social hierarchies realized like pretty soon after publishing that he was completely wrong because he had only been studying animals in captivity, but the erroneous information on “alphas” captured men’s imagination so they still cling to it despite it being just flat out wrong - according to the guy who CAME UP WITH THE THEORY so you know it’s legit.
Europeans who first encountered the platypus assumed it was a hoax.
Knowledge is seeking the limits of our species’ understanding of the universe
Wisdom is looking PAST the limits of our knowledge and staying fucking humble about everything we don’t know.
yeah uh... don't do this :)
as a fanfic writer! who has a few semi-abandoned fics! if you do this i will personally bite you with my teeth. you are disrespecting art and the love people put into their work by pretending that an AI can even compare to it
I am vibrating with rage at this. Not just for the childish grasping whine of “I want it NOW”, unsatisfied with the millions of other free works of love offered up for entertainment, and not just for the complete ignorance of what makes a story; the arrogance to presume that the ending the author will make is irrelevant and that a substitute that goes completely in a different direction is just as good.

Anonymous asked:
Am I the asshole for wanting to communicate my frustrations with my mom?
TW: death, cancer
So, my mom is a boomer/gen X cusper and her and I have always had a bit of a volatile relationship (I went no contact for a little while because she was harassing me over my mental health) and she has truly never made an effort to learn any sort of social norms regarding communication and resorts to group texts to deliver the most life changing (bad) news.
I’ve had many calm and collected conversations with her asking her “hey mom… if you’re going to deliver news that’s going to change my life… can you at least call me instead of zipping out a text?” And for the most part she’s made the change into phone calls when it comes to good news. But not bad news. And I am so fed up with it.
For a good news example: I got a phone call when my younger brother passed his final exams and became certified in his trade and my mom wanted to throw a little party for him
Bad news example: I got a 2 sentence text when my grandma died.
Most recently, my mom texted my siblings and I to tell us she has cancer. It took us all by complete surprise and absolutely derailed my entire week. I panicked. I cried. I spent hours googling if my mom was going to be okay and if I need to be worried about my own health. I ended up calling my sister on my way to my partners house and was complaining about how our mom always seems to save the bad news for a text blurb with 0 context. She immediately jumped to her defense and said it makes sense that she would want to deliver that in a text so she doesn’t have to put up with multiple, likely weepy, phone calls having to explain devastating news to us over and over again. My sister then said I should be grateful that we even got an update from our mom and I need to stop asking her for phone calls for serious news because I’m not special and if I keep asking for this change that means our mom will share less with us going forward.
I can’t help but feel like a little bit of an asshole because my sister essentially told me I’m being too demanding of my mother’s emotions and I need to respect her decision to communicate in writing rather than having to hear everyone’s live reactions to news that also upsets her. But I feel like my feelings regarding the whole situation are also valid and it’s devastating to find out about a death or a diagnosis or whatever via a text. Especially after I’ve brought up this frustration to my mom numerous times.
