“There was more to him than met the eye. It’s something unnameable. He lives within a very tight confines - emotionally, physically… He lives a solitary kind of existence. But you always knew there was an agenda; it was a question of what was that agenda going to turn out to be? Mysterious. He’s very focused. Eventually, you get to find out who he is. Innocence, Lost. Resentful. Responsibility. It’s not so much what you choose to do, as not disobeying. And what does this word ‘Loyalty’ mean?Vulnerable. But you’re not really aware of it. Brave. To the end. It’s been a complete privilege.”

I’m a cat enthusiast and i can tell you, the kitty is actually trying to help! (or just trying to figure out what humane is doing by also touching it)
Cats like to mimic what other members if their cat groups are doing. In human enviroments, this translates to cats following humans (who they see as part of their group) and trying to mimic activities they are doing.
Human sits on couch? Cat sit with them! Human reading or on their computer? Cat go after human and sprawl over them or the keyboard because cat do the same! Human eating? Cat also want eat! Human touch spining clay and make weird shapes? Cat also do that! Cat help!
This short story by Junji Ito is about a fault that appears in Amigara mountain after an earthquake. The earthquake exposes countless human-shaped holes in the mountain which seem to have been made about a thousand years ago. People, intrigued by these
silhouettes, gather at the site and that’s when things get creepy.
It’s about a 15-20 min read, but if you haven’t read this before, you’re in for a treat. Link above.
i mean it’s not like i can just NOT reblog amigara fault. what if one of my followers is one of the lucky ten thousand who HASN’T been unutturably altered for life by it yet? go read it! it’s creepy, but trust me, it was made for you.
I need to make it clear. I love Alan and Snape very separately. they are completely different to me. when I think of Snape, there’s an influence of Alan but it’s not just him. and when I think of Alan, I think of him as him, not as The Guy Who Played Snape.
my first exposure to both of them was watching PS at the age of 6. but I’ve seen Alan in so much since then that I’ve separated him from Snape. and I’ve read the books (and fanfic) so many more times than I’ve watched the film that I’ve separated Snape from Alan.
basically it’s like this
I would still love Alan if he hadn’t played Snape. I would have seen him in Love Actually or Die Hard and been like I love this incredible man
I would still love Snape if he hadn’t been played by Alan. I would have seen whoever played him in the film and I would have read him in the books and been like I love this gremlin man
basically there is an alternate reality where I’m like “oh man I wish Alan Rickman had played Snape. That would be cool I think.” and I am very grateful I live in the universe where Alan played Snape
