took a video of the robin

no, i do not bother her often, i just wanted a short video of how protective she is, usually i leave her be


oh my god the mother robin’s babies hatched and she is SO AGGRESSIVE

she will literally attack anybody who even walks out of my front door

if I try and look out of the window to spy on her nest she pecks the glass and puffs herself up what a mean mamma


Anonymous asked: Did Zeus died?

no?


just watched wolf children: ame and yuki and idk i guess i didnt take away from it a lot of what tumblr did

it was animated well but kind of lacks a lot of heart in comparison to the animated movie giants of japan like mayazaki (i mean it was really good but idk it just felt like it was missing something, this is totally an opinion, of course…)… it didnt seem very deep and didn’t make me emotional at all

it was good, id probably watch it again, but it wasnt like

AMAZING

or anything

idk i guess i just didnt feel some of the character development was deep enough, each character seemed pretty independent of one another so it was hard to care about them as a “family unit” which made it hard to care when they eventually split up

ehhhh overall i was pretty hype and now im disappointed, it doesnt seem like a finished movie

ALSO i hated the way they chose to develop the kids, yuki was so full of life in the beginning and at the end she was pretty fucking bland, ame just grew up to be an asshole instead of how he was caring and shy in the beginning i know people change but yeesh why did they make them so lifeless

Dad gave me this talisman he has had since he went into the navy when he was my age. Gave it to me because I am going into the world and I need the luck! It’s very understated and looks absolutely excellent, I love it, and it brings me feelings of warmth and sentimentality, I’m sure it will keep me safe pops :)

ruffresia asked: speaking of reptiles i was wondering something. opinions seem to vary about whether reptiles can get emotionally attached/love their owner, etc. i read that reptiles don't have the portion of the brain that handles emotions (like dogs or cats do) but other people say they do notice signs of affection. so i was wondering what your opinion was on that or experience with zeus?

I’m not 100% sure that reptiles can show like, affection affection, but I think they can be very comfortable with certain people, and maybe even grow to “like” them as much as a reptile possibly can… I am skeptical how much some snakes like ball pythons can love people (I feel like if I gave Zeus the chance to leave, I’d never see him again haha), but lots of lizards like Tegus are actually quite smart and seem to actually grow quite attached to their owner.

In short, I guess I don’t buy into either side- I think they have more capacity to “love” than some people give them credit for, but I don’t think a reptile might have the capacity to form some bonds that mammalian pack animals do. 

As for Zeus, he definitely shows me signs that he trusts me- when I let other people hold him, he usually tries to crane his neck and get back onto me, he seems to enjoy being rubbed around his head by me, etc., but like I said, if I gave him the chance to leave, I don’t think he would think twice about hitting the road, haha


assuming money, space, and availability were no issue, my dream reptile list would definitely include (but not limited to)…

  • blood python (best pythons ahh)
  • burmese python
  • crocodile
  • gharial
  • komodo
  • tegu
  • leachie

please tell me your reptile dreams i want to hear them!!
