A group of rough looking boys walked past me today and all I heard of their conversation was “he’s got that anxiety disorder bro so I went with him so he’d be more comfortable” and it made me realise the world isn’t all that bad
The pet store I worked at had a pen with rabbits near the front door. On every side of the pen were huge signs saying “You can pet me, but don’t pick me up!” One day two absolutely huge guys came in and one immediately reaches into the pen to grab a rabbit. Before i could say anything his friend grabbed his arm and asked him “did you see the sign?” He said “yeah! it says that you can pick them up but don’t pet them!” Then he went quiet for a moment and softly said “I didn’t read it right did I?” And his friend just puts his arm on his shoulder and said “its ok, i know you’ve got that thing where words get mixed up. Let just pet these cute lil shits” And I still haven’t gotten over that interaction.
I was walking my dog through Boston bc he likes the likes car rides. He’s a little thing tbh we call him short and long. So this huge scary man with a full beard approaches me like “hey can my buddy and I pet your dog? He gets nervous around dogs but your’s is so small I think it’s a good place to start.” Ofc I was like “yes he’s very friendly!” So this guy brings his equally big friend over and they sit on the floor while this man looks terrified of my tiny dog so big man number one asks “can I pick him up?” And i say yes so he picks him up and puts him on man number two’s lap and man number two is abt to freak out and his friend straight up just goes “hey man, it’s okay just relax I’d never let anything hurt you. He’s a good boy.” I’ll never forget it ever bc I know that man looked at me (5'3 , glasses, probably wearing a sweater vest) and my dog (kinda goofy looking little thing) and was like ‘ah yes the two least intimidating living things I’ve seen in Boston all day he’ll feel relaxed around them’ and went out of his way to help his friend. It makes me so happy
I’m crying I definitely needed this.
Also fun story: This guy comes into my store, latino guy, prison tats covering most of his skin, would probably terrify most white people, y'know? I greet him and ask if he needs help finding anything. He just adopted an EIGHT YEAR OLD beagle mix from the shelter and he wants to buy him JOINT SUPPLEMENTS for his arthritis and his tone and face told me me was so worried about this poor old dog’s joints being stiff and he also had no idea what he was doing and he was like, “please help, I don’t care if it’s expensive, I just don’t want him to hurt” and I almost cried, bc here’s this guy most people in my neighborhood wouldn’t give the time of day, and he’s begging me to help him buy the best joint supplement for a senior dog he just rescued. He’s been in a few times since with the dog, who was like tolerant but standoffish (and OBESE) at first, and in the next few weeks I saw this tender man transform this dog into a friendly, eager, healthy dog whose tail would NOT stop wagging. He was slowly but steadily losing weight and he was sure he was in this home to stay and his confidence and security and happiness skyrocketed. I told the guy what an amazing job he had been doing and how much happier the dog seems and he beamed with pride. He’s so tender with that dog and he loves it so much (and it loves him so much too). And it makes me mad to think this guy is more than likely discriminated against. Like how fucking dare you treat my angelic patron like a criminal look how much he loves this old happy mutt. Anyway I love them both and it makes my day whenever they come in.
have you ever wondered why anime people have such big eyes like this:
that’s because of scrooge mcduck
Osamu Tekuza. creator of Astro Boy and often called “The Godfather of Anime,” was a big fan of the Scrooge McDuck comics from back in the fifties and when he created Astro Boy, he based his art style on the Scrooge McDuck comics
so basically this character
who serves as the visual basis for the modern-day anime art style was inspired by this
which means that every time you get horny for this
or for these guys
you’re actually getting your jollies from the great grandkids of this motherfucker
No joke.
please don’t fuck the duck
Now I read all this with my both eyes and now it is your turn
it gets better
a lil while ago, tezuka’s daughter unlocked his work desk
what was inside?
a whack load of furry and transformation porn including one of a woman turning into a boob snake, locked away for SPECIAL OCCASION
when you are fapping to anime tiddies, you are fapping to the legacy of a furry artist
All anime tiddies descend from a literal furry’s admiration of a Charles Dickens duck-AU fanfiction character.
technology related sensory memories from my childhood
sliding the metal cover on floppy disks
the slight resistance of inserting cassette and video tapes
ripping off the strips of holed paper off of dot matrix printer paper
rolling the wheel on a disposable camera to take another photo
The heaviness and rubber texture of the roller ball in a computer mouse, and the little ring of lint
Unkinking the curly cord of a telephone while you talked
The -peww sound and slowly fading image of a crt monitor turning off, and then running your finger through the static on the dusty glass
The crunch of opening or closing a plastic Disney vhs cover
The sound effects in kidpix
Extending and collapsing metal antennas and using them as magic wands
…God, it is so weird these things aren’t around any more. Cause it’s true, the sensations are so distinct. It’s bizarre to think about missing these tiny relics.
