If you’re trying to catch a housecat that’s gotten outside, don’t forget: they’re an ambush predator and you’re a persistence predator.
You have several times more endurance than they do – use that to your advantage!
Don’t run after them; that’s playing to the cat’s strengths, and vigorous pursuit may cause them to hide. Instead, follow them at a brisk walking pace until they get tired and need to have a lie-down, at which point you can simply pick them up and take them home.
Ok but no shit this tactic is what allowed humans to survive pre-civilisation
Some mammoth: *chilling, eating grass, mammothing*
why do food places have to give you that little tiny ass baby cup when you ask for water it’s so flagrant. water drinkers are treated like second class citizens in this country
you ask for soda they give you a trough sized cup, you’re treated like royalty. you ask for water they’re like oh baby wants his water? his wahwah? here you fucking go little man take this
I hate seeing posts that are like “Oh, Phantom of the Opera but with lesbians!” Like………. POTO is about a horribly abusive and manipulative man taking advantage of a self conscious, grieving young woman who is barely even an adult by that point. Making a murderous stalker/kidnapper a lesbian, a group that is already often portrayed as villainous and predatory, is not some huge win for kweer rights!
You could, however, keep the Phantom a man and make RAOUL a lesbian. Making a lesbian of Christine’s childhood friend and supportive love interest who stands up for her in a RESPECTFUL way is a MUCH better adaptation than making the Phantom a lesbian. And like, if you’re still shipping Christine and the Phantom in 2018, then… honestly, I really don’t know what to tell you.
Legolas pretty quickly gets in the habit of venting about his travelling companions in Elvish, so long as Gandalf & Aragorn aren’t in earshot they’ll never know right?
Then about a week into their journey like
Legolas: *in Elvish, for approximately the 20th time* ugh fucking hobbits, so annoying
Frodo: *also in Elvish, deadpan* yeah we’re the worst
Legolas:
~*~earlier~*~
Legolas: ugh fucking hobbits
Merry: Frodo what’d he say
Frodo: I’m not sure he speaks a weird dialect but I think he’s insulting us. I should tell him I can understand Elvish
pervasive doubt
