#this is an inane post

[abirddogmoment]

It's been a month without Mav, here is a jumble of thoughts about it, in no particular order:

Mav was the coolest dog in the world

He was also pretty high-maintenance (in terms of exercise specifically); my exercise has plummeted without him. I have a lot more free time and I'm not really sure what to do with myself.

It was really, really fun to dabble in sports with Mav, but the titles don't really mean anything to me now. I love thinking back at the trial experiences (specifically the mishaps - alerting on cheese, visiting the judges, stealing toys) but I don't really care about the letters or certificates anymore.

In contrast, the Top CKC Rally Brittany brings me a lot of comfort. I like that Mav will be recorded in the brittany spaniel archives. I'll be really sad when we get usurped.

I'm glad I found a good group of people for dog sports. I could have gone so many different directions, and I'm so glad I went with the "be kind to your dog above all else" and I think a huge part of that was the community I found irl.

Mav's breeder is a gem, she has checked in with me so many times and I appreciate that so much.

I wish I had known more about training and handling before I got Mav. I'm sad for the gaps in his foundations and I wish I had known more to set him up better from the beginning.

I'm so happy he got to have so many adventures - big ones and little ones. I could have done more, but I think he got a lot.

I'm pretty sure his last thought was about a cookie, which doesn't really matter, but feels very on brand for him.

I can't remember the last time I smooched his head and that makes me kind of sad. Doubtless it was at the vet's but I can't remember for sure.

I spread his ashes in the area where he most liked hiking, and every time I've gone hiking there since then, I've thought of it as visiting Mav.

I still haven't thrown out his gross kitty cat stuffy, it's still sitting on top of his crate.

I'm really grateful for the people I got to meet through Mav.

I'm really happy I was so consistent about posting on Tumblr, I have such a good archive of his whole life and I love that.

Mav was a special kind of dog.

#this is an inane post #not screaming into the void - im kind of past that - but similar #im just sad #he was such a cool dog who really grew into himself and grew into my life #his presence is deeply deeply missed #mav memories #about mav #its looking like winter 2023/24 for a puppy #ultimately i think its good that i didnt have a puppy lined up sooner #its giving me time to process and miss mav #but its really hard not having a dog #(but ultimately i dont want another dog i just want mav) #my friend sent me this picture today #its a new picture! ive never seen it before #it was from the canoe camping trip with our foster puppy billy #she dug up her laptop and found the picture ❤

people who grew up drinking dairy milk and switched to non-dairy later in life: ugh almond milk is so thin and watery, I accept coconut milk or cashew milk only!

me, who grew up drinking rice milk: almond milk is almost TOO flavorful and rich, wow

#RICE MILK IS VERY WATERY BUT IT’S GOT A PLACE IN MY HEART #I admit there is a reason rice milk is not the widely accepted alternative milk choice of the people.... #but still. I’m loyal. #also my opinion on soymilk is ‘yucky’ and that is all #inane personal post #trying to start lactose free discourse on tumblr dot com for funsies

Will not ever be getting over Quan Yizhen.

He is the puppy-doggiest boy of all time. He is the sweetest baby in the world. He is the cutest bean ever born.

My favourite scenes are ones where he tries to thank Xie Lian!! Because all Xie Lian did was throw chopsticks to make the curtain fall!! He barely did anything!! Most of the other gods don’t even realize he’s the one who did it!!

But Quan Yizhen not only noticed it was him, he also felt grateful!!! He tried to stuff his donation box with gold bars!!! And, my absolute favourite example, when he woke up to find Xie Lian and Pei Ming in his room (while Pei Ming is trying to catch Shi Qingxuan), Pei Ming asks him to help out and Yizhen just. Throws his bed. At Pei Ming. Because even though he has not a single clue what the fuck is going on, he wants to thank Xie Lian.

I could ramble about my love for Yizhen for all of eternity. I love him so so so so so much.

The scene where Yin Yu “knocks him out” with the shovel, only for Quan Yizhen to wait to be dug out and then reveal that he wasn’t actually knocked unconscious??? (Beautiful, amazing, 10/10, implies that even after everything, Yin Yu still can’t bring himself to hurt Yizhen, and I just abdjdjfbdjdn) Everyone is so completely shocked, because “Qi Ying just tricked us????” Quan Yizhen is so straightfoward and blunt that him pulled a trick like this is something literally nobody saw coming, he’s a strategic genius-

Xie Lian says that Yizhen probably recognized Yin Yu because he remembers his habits, like pacing when he’s uncertain. Which is just- Quan Yizhen hasn’t seen Yin Yu in centuries, but still remembers his ticks…

I love how literally everyone thinks that Yizhen is mad at Yin Yu, but all Quan Yizhen wants is to hug him and get head pats and he doesn’t blame Yin Yu for snapping at him and he still gets angry when people badmouth Yin Yu and and and and-

Yizhen just loves hims Shixiong. He joined the sect because Yin Yu was there. He became a god because Yin Yu suggested he should. He never stops caring for Yin Yu, even when Yin Yu tries to murder him. I love them so much.

But also, I love Quan Yizhen with Xie Lian. Not as a romantic ship, I just like that they’re two peas in a pod. They both see amazing martial ability and automatically praise it. They are the most neurodivergent characters. They both think Yin Yu is pretty cool. They are buddies, and it’s like two puppies play wrestling, I can’t get over it.

ok top 5 least favorite parts of that article lol:

1. taylor sings on her tour even when she’s stressed!! (she did have to reschedule one night after a girl died bc of unsafe conditions. taylor was so sad 💔)

2. girls have been told that our natural feminine interests, like love and glitter, are silly. but if we monetize those things, then more “female art” gets made! #feminism

3. horcruxes, infinity stones, gandalf

4. i thought about bringing up the fact that taylor’s career never actually died or even suffered that greatly, but then i decided not to, because what matters is that she felt canceled

5. “female rage”

#spent a full hour going thru it paragraph by paragraph w my twin #just so that i could stop & complain every few seconds abt how inane it was #why can’t people like her music & leave it at that…..she is not a feminist deity lmao #anyway. this feels like SUCH a stupid thing 2 be posting abt but. well it’s my stupid blog…. #swiftie mutuals look away etc…. #ranting and raving #txt

"damian feels guilty and sad for what he put poor little timmy through :(" shut up for one million years.

first of all that shit was NOT one sided... are you kidding me... they both contributed. it was a team effort of idk jealousy and antagonism or whatever.

tim isn't like some helpless victim that damian abuses. which... ugh. what is it with this whole thing that shows up in fanfic all the time where tim is ostracized by his family who are always on damian's side and dick makes excuses for him and URRGGHHH whatever whatever WHATEVER.

#i'm rehashing some stuff from earlier posts but yeaah #i wish i could stop talking about tim but alas. his fans are annoying and i love complaining about inane things #dc #batman #damian wayne #anti fanon #anti tim drake #fandom critical #fanon critical #fanon vs canon

no guys you don’t understand

I’m a vegetarian, but I sometimes eat meat when I’m bored or when I crave it. I’m still as much as a vegetarian as anyone else! You don’t get to define what vegetarianism is, I feel like a vegetarian and I like calling myself that so you can’t say I can’t call myself it!

Btw having hamburgers tonight those are my favorite. There’s a special sort of feeling greater than just vegetables that makes me just so special. My vegetarianing isn’t any less pure or perfect just because I eat meat <3

Hermione watches Harry carefully, studying him like a hawk. “And are you scared of him?”

Harry wants to shake his head no, but he looks down and avoids her eyes instead. “A bit, yeah,” he admits and takes a shuddered breath. “When I see his wand or when he’s close enough to kill me with his hands...”

When he looks at me like he’d like to kiss me. When he speaks in parseltongue, and I no longer know if he’s saying the weather is nice or that he likes my eyes...

"...I'm scared of him then."

Scared of Tom Riddle.

We have a new employee at work for the first time in years (small company) and it’s very funny seeing her react to normal levels of Shiny Spouting Animals Facts. All my other coworkers are by now very used to me coming out with these things when the subject arises, but her bafflement is reminding me of when I was first hired and no one yet knew to expect me to explain killdeer nest defense displays off the cuff (today’s example).

DC is so silly because none of them can agree on what Batman’s motivation actually is.

Like, does this guy only care about Gotham City? Is he obsessed with keeping this one specific city safe? Is obsessed to the point that he’s willing to risk other people’s lives in the pursuit of justice?

Or, does he care about other people? Alfred, Dick, Jason, Tim, Damian, even Selina. Is he obsessed with keeping his loved ones safe? Is he obsessed with keeping Gotham safe because he wants the people in Gotham to be safe?

Does he train Robin out of a desire for a soldier or a need to cling to a thread of humanity? Does he keep Alfred employed primarily because Alfred is good at keeping secrets or because he trusts Alfred to keep his secrets? Does he ever love any of the women he dates, Selina included, or does he see them as another part of his disguise?

What is Batman’s motivation? What is he feeling at any given time in a story? What keeps him going when the nights drag on endlessly? What makes him get out of bed? What makes him take care of himself so that he can take care of it? Is it Gotham, or is it the people in Gotham?

And honestly, the answer is all of the above. The writers don’t agree on the answer, so the answer is that all apply. Batman would die for Gotham, Batman would die for Robin, Batman would die for Alfred. Batman wants to protect Gotham more than anything. Batman finds that he wants to protect Robin and Alfred and those he loves even more than Gotham. Batman views Robin as a soldier to be kept at arm’s length. Batman views Robin as his son and loves him like a father would.

It affects everything that Batman touches, this inconclusive motivation. Batman views the Justice League as his friends, his family even. Batman never gets close to any members of the Justice League because he only views them as associates and nothing more.

Batman can be conceivably anything. His motivation can become anything. Because his motivation is set up and reset and reset and reset- his motivation, what he cares about, it can be basically whatever you want. Whatever the writers want.

And this is why you have people hate Batman because he’s cold and uncaring and nigh abusive. You have people who love Batman because he thaws for those he loves and is kind and caring. You have people who like Batman because he’s good with children. You have people who like Batman because he’s awkward and doesn’t even know how to hold a child.

All of these versions have been portrayed, and sometimes multiple versions are portrayed in the same comic line. Batman lets Robin tease him and misses Robin when they’re apart, but he also gets mad at Robin for something that he has to know isn’t Robin’s fault. Batman is cold and distant to Robin but also says he trusts Robin as much as he trusts himself. Batman doesn’t know what Tim’s family life is like because he doesn’t feel it’s important, as long as it doesn’t affect Tim’s work, and he also asks Tim to tell him about his family’s situation because he sees himself in Tim and wants to offer comfort.

These are all Batman, but are also not Batman. Because the writers want you to view Batman as whatever they’re portraying him as in that one specific comic. What is Batman like? Well, it depends on the comic issue, not the comic series.

I like to focus on Bruce having interests and cares outside of Gotham alone. I like writing him as having friends he trusts and kids he loves. Because this is more interesting to me than the Bruce who is cold and uncaring. But, I also understand that this isn’t the only way he’s portrayed. This is the way I perceive him, the way I read all of his comics and the reason why I can make excuses for his actions that others find objectionable or unforgivable.

My way of reading Bruce isn’t the right or wrong way to do so, because there is no wrong way to read Bruce’s character. He’s genuinely been portrayed as just about all the versions you can find. And of course people exaggerate, they worsen him or (in my case) make him better. Which isn’t wrong either.

Batman is both a loving and a distant father. Batman both cares only for Gotham and has interests beyond Gotham. Batman has no friends and a few close friends. Batman is serious and dark and brooding and Batman is silly and playful and pretending to be emotionless. The writers don’t agree, the fans don’t agree, no one agrees so Batman is a nebulous character of clear motives only when it suits the narrative he’s engaged in.
