Their story begins 🌧

inkskinned:

i keep thinking about the number of parrots and mimicking birds that say love you! as part of their vocabulary. how often they must hear that in order to learn it as a song.

when i was a child and learning how to train dogs, we were warned against using puppy too much around the dog - it might get confused and think the word puppy was a name. we were supposed to use mostly command words - keep it simple and clear.

but when my dog is in the middle of a nightmare, i say i love you to him, and he calms down. i say i love you! and he starts wiggling, delighted. when i first rescued him, i love you got no reaction. he understood i love you! before he understood what stairs are. the first thing i ever trained him to understand, maybe, before even his name: i love you.

my sister used to say i love you! and her cat would come running. he knew his name, too, but her voice saying i love you was enough.

there’s some debate about how many words our pets understand. maybe they understand the tone more than the actual word. science almost always seems to be coming out with new exciting information about just how much animals can learn and understand language. it often more seems that the only true barrier is that we don’t understand them when they answer back.

goblin doesn’t know it yet, but for the last 3 days, i’ve been telling him about the new bed i bought him. i had to save for a while in order to afford it - but it’s specifically for big dogs like him, and (supposedly) won’t flatten out after 6 months. it was twice as expensive as my own mattress, and i’m way-too-excited to give it to him. i keep reading him the stats - it says it’ll help any joint pain! and one more sleep until it comes! he wiggles in joy at the tone in my voice, this thing i know i’m not really communicating, but something he seems to understand-anyway.

as of 7:30 AM today, the new bed is on the way. goblin is asleep on my couch, happily snoring. the truck is two towns over. i keep refreshing the delivery updates.

something about telling these creatures in our lives i love you, even knowing they can’t understand exactly. even knowing each word in that phrase holds a concept maybe-outside of real communication’s possibilities - to understand “i/you”, to understand love, to understand holding love and passing it through you into something else. knowing, really, we’ve probably trained them with this phrase comes petting. and then saying it, over and over and over through the little lonely hours of our day.

hoping, with repetition and action and practice: we’ll find a way to tell them anyway.

what’s with varric’s occasional half-hearted and inexplicable attempts to pretend for some reason that he… doesn’t know who anders is? like we obviously all hang out and he very much has whole cutscenes where it’s clear independently of hawke he is spending money and time on anders’ safety. and then if you romance anders, varric will ask about you and “whatshisname the mage”. this is also apparently his combat dialogue??

image

what’s he even trying to do here like i’m not even making fun of him for anything in particular i’m just baffled by it

image

hawke: wait… how do you even know anders came over to my house last night??

varric, to himself: play dumb!

varric: who’s anders?

varric, to himself: NOT THAT DUMB

i need to stop picking at my face but the problem is theres Textures On There and i would prefer if there Werent

Absolutely Devastated to discover that attempting to Remove The Textures will cause new, much more Textured Textures To Appear

Surely if I remove this new Texture, however, it will be gone forever.

By Talos, this can’t be happening.

I bought this expensive ass yogurt as a gift to myself so that I could make little candles in the tiny terracotta pot it comes in and it turns out it is the best, creamiest, most buttery heavenly delicious yogurt I have ever tasted and I’m now addicted

sometimes things that are expensive are worse but sometimes things that are expensive are astronomically better and that’s where the real problem lies
