Someone: “I want a cat/rabbit/other animal that will be super openly affectionate, go for walks, play fetch, not mind being handled rough, never be shy, and also I don’t want it to claw me or the furniture(so I’ll probably get it declawed) and I don’t want to ever clean a litter box or cage.”
Me: “Hey there’s this great new type of animal you might be interested in:”
Someone: “I want a dog but I don’t ever want to take it for walks or exercise it very much or let it outside and I want it to be fine with being left alone for longer periods of time and also never bark.”
Me:
Someone: “I want a cat or dog but I want to only feed it a vegan diet.”
Me:
Someone: “I want to have a pet but I basically never want to interact with it.”
Me:
Someone: “I want to get my kid a cute pet for Easter/Christmas!”
Me:
Get a pet that fits your needs. Don’t get a pet then try to force it to fit your lifestyle. Just because you saw a person walking a rabbit once doesn’t mean you can expect a rabbit to just be a dog. Just get a dog!
never forget that not only did dirk strider, upon being ordered to draw pornography of him and his friends, cheerfully agree before realizing caliborn would demand fairly tame imagery, he also expressed interest in reading callie’s fanfiction about them after confirming it was explicitly romantic, and upon being told that said fanfiction was deviant and possibly disgusting he literally said “but that only makes me want to read it more.” incredible. i love him. his palpable disappointment that caliborn didnt want him to draw himself and jake kissing followed immediately by him morosely dragging their scribbled renditions together for an illicit smooch regardless remains one of the most memorable moments in the entire billion word saga to me like he was ready. he was absolutely ready to send self drawn smut of him and jake to all his friends with the excuse of well an angry space alien made me do it, soooo
also never forget that roxy made the art of her and jake her goddamn phone background i love her
