The feeling when you find a fanfic you've been thinking about, but know only a vague key words from and not the name of...! ๐คฉ๐ฅฐ๐๐๐๐๐

Even though life feels pretty chaotic right now, I try to carve out an hour in the morning just for myself, to focus on my health & go for a short hike. On the rare days Iโm able to drive (eyesight/vertigo are giving me a hard time), I like to wander through the heather fields or explore the swamp.

There will truly come a time when we'll be trademarking our own faces, won't there... ๐ฅด
Shame; there could be so much good done using and perfecting AI, if only we didn't use it to "make" movies and "paint" pictures and "write" books (read: steal) and freaking think for us... ๐
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is rosy pink, the other is a peach-colour baby. Rose is looking at Peach gently, while baby Peach looks back at her with full toddler defiance. Rose: Okay sweetie, could you please get in the car for me? Peach: No. Looking sick of the situation, Rose begins to forcibly drag Peach into the car as gently as she can, while Peach fights back, dragging on the ground. Rose: Can you please not act like you are getting kidnapped. Peach: This is an insult to my autonomy! Meanwhile, Blue and Green are sitting in Blue's car, watching the situation. Rose, off-panel: There are people waiting for this parking spot. Peach, also out of view: Death before dishonour! Blue: We should just find another spot. Green: No, I want to see who wins.

However, we've opened the Pandora's box already. Now we have to live with the results.

a side profile of the Twilight the unicorn puppy. the bump on her noggin is pronounced from this angle.
Twilight sits next to her mom Celestia, a tan and white dog with tall alert ears and golden brown eyes.
This is Twilight. She was born with a bump on her noggin. Yes, that does make her a unicorn. While it doesn't cause her any pain, she's going to have a specialist check it out to determine if she'll need any additional care. 13/10 magical as h*ck

an exceedingly fluffy black dog stands expectantly on the floor and looks up at a little kid in a high chair who presumably has snacks to share. the little bit of white on the dogโs nose and their pink tongue is the only interruption in the otherwise endless sea of darkness. but at least from this angle, they have a more defined body and tiny feet, so sheโs a little less โorbโ and a little more โdog.โ
We only rate dogs. This is the goth cousin of Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc. Please understand it's not just a phase, and only send dogs. Thank youโฆ 12/10 (credit u/vincidelaunc)
