It’s so fun to learn about the stories and myths of other cultures and countries. I think everyone needs to learn more about these. It’ll make us appreciate the difference and similarities between everyon!

Anahit: The Queen Who Made the King Get a Job (Armenian Folk Tale)

Full entry (with footnotes) here. Book here. Patreon here. Art notes and whatnot after the cut - but real quick:

Yes, she already has her own animated princess movie. It’s not in English. It was posted in full by the animation studio here, so I hope it’s okay to embed it:

This version seemingly takes some liberties. Her uncle is in league with some shadow demon, there’s a talking dog, and her horse turns into this fiery magic flying creature…? I don’t know.

This is so true. Does anyone else do this…… no? Well I'm just weird than

when are they not soft for each other?

“The fruit was never an apple”

Max Svabinsky, (1873-1962)

“In Paradise” circa 1918

love yourself~

you don't understand, I'm Aromantic

You'll always have me.

That's what you say,

You don't understand

You'll always have me,

But I won't have you,

You'll get married and have a life with someone else,

Sure I'll be there on the sidelines of life,

Watching you grow.

but I won't always have you.

You can wake up in their arms,

And kiss them good morning.

I will wake up to the limp arms of my bedsheets tangled around my body,

In a mock sort of hug.

You'll grow old together,

Experience life together,

And I can watch.

Growing old with no one but myself.

Sure,

You'll always be my friend,

And I will always love you,

but I will never be with you.

I wish...

Who are you?

I knew you once,

But now you’ve changed so much.

I loved you once,

But now all I can see is flaws.

You look like someone I should know,

But your so different now.

You were once my reflection,

But now your a stranger.

I don’t feel like I’m living anymore,

Just watching from the sidelines.

No longer participating in my own life,

Just playing a game.

Make the right choices,

Move forward, and complete the day.

What happened to the old me?

The one that loved life?

The one who was happy?

The one who wasn’t a lie,

The one before everything.

Now I am different person,

Pretending to be the same.

Acting the same,

Sounding the same,

So they won’t notice.

You were once my reflection,

But now I can’t even recognize who you are.

I’ve lost you in the chaos,

I wish I could find you.

I wish I could love you.

I wish I didn’t have to lie anymore.

This was just something I wrote quickly. I’ve been feeling pretty down for they past few months? Years? It’s been so long I don’t really know anymore. Anyway, I thought I’d just share it.

The males try to drown the baby pups to distract the mothers so they (the males) can steal their food.

name all the reasons you love otters and why they’re the best 🦦🦦

1: Babies

2: Their little squeaks

3: How they open clam shells with rocks

4: THEY HAVE POCKETS FOR THEIR FAVOURITE ROCKS

5: They hold hands when sleeping so they don’t float away from each other (also baby otters will just float on their back while waiting for their mom to come back from hunting)

6: They’re so smart they have more bain cells than me
