Hey while you're loving elephants: Denver Zoo has two teenage boy elephants and one Old Man Elephant named Groucho, and lately they've had the lads housed with him so he can teach them Proper Elephant Manners like how bulls raise teenage boy elephants in the wild. Bull elephants are apparently very into being parents but due to the matriarichal nature of most herds, they really only get to raise calves after they've hit puberty. My point is, one of the boys was being annoying and chasing rabbits so Groucho came up and jabbed him in the ass with a tusk, the lad ran around the enclosure crying then came back and did a lot of "I'm sorry I'll be good now dad" fawning and it was adorable.
OH MAN SEE SEE SEE i wish we knew so much more about how bull elephants interact with herds and families - we've documented bull elephants traveling to matriarchal herds and fake wrestling with male calves, and we've documented bulls protecting orphaned calves, but in god's name i want every in and out about it. everything we know about elephant social interaction is not enough. it's a Thing that introducing old bulls to a population lowers the amount of younger bulls in musth, also known as the state in which bull elephants desire nothing but murder and possibly sex, but - i want to know the precise mechanisms. old bull elephants teaching younger bulls manners renders me VERKLEMPT. i just wanna know every secret elephants have.
this is incredible though. peak teenage boy. groucho has his hands full and i fucking love him for that. get their asses, groucho.
God it’s actually so fucking crazy how Chongyun & Xingqiu spend literally every living moment with each other, like actually canonically… like wtf.
Like, they’re always hanging out with one another - either with their group of friends, or mainly just with each other, they’re always by each other side when; going to events and festivals together, frequently eat meals together, they go on adventures and fight together as a fearsome duo (to the point of having stories told about them), when one of them needs help with something the first person they always go to is each other, and even when they’re in a group - they’re always more separate from the others, but closer to each other (be that either standing or sitting), etc, etc… they’re ALWAYS together..
And it doesn’t even end THERE!?
Chongyun & Xingqiu canonically take trips from Liyue Harbor to Qingce Village CONSISTENTLY, just to read books and do things together - they do it so consistent and often that the people who live there know them for it…
And that’s not even mentioning the fact it takes like at least 5 days by walking to get from Liyue Harbor to Qingce Village (realistically), AND THEN again back. Which is also not including the time they actually spend IN Qingce Village, which would probably be a couple of days to like weeks, since it takes like a week to get there and then again back. WHICH IS AGAIN, not including time spent together in Inns or something during the week from there and back, BUT ALSO where they’re staying when they’re actually in Qingce Village….
AGAIN, they do it CONSISTENTLY, and usually just to read together.
AND THEN, Xingqiu consistently, on a regular basis (to the point where it’s her FIRST thought) - stays at Chongyun’s house for up to 10 days to 2 weeks, as a result of many things, but usually because of something related to her family. SO NOT ONLY will they spend their entire day hanging out with each other doing.. EVERYTHING - they will end their day by hanging out with each other under the same roof (for who knows how many hours), AND THEN sleep under the same roof (which also simultaneously implies they’re around each other during the early morning before they go out..) FOR 2 FULL FUCKING WEEKS.
So not only do they spend every day with each other, but depending on where one of them or the both of them are staying/doing - they spend even MORE of their time with each other (and they’ve been like/doing this for YEARS.)
Every living and breathing moment is spent being by each other side… and that makes me fucking insane LIKE WTFFFF-
Yaaaaaaaaas heeeeeeennnnnyyyyy
To all my bi friends out there‼️‼️‼️‼️
💖💜💙
Love you aaaaaaaaaaaall‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
HAPPY BI DAY‼️
happy bisexual visibility day (september 23rd) to my fellow amazing bisexuals. i love all of you guys and we don’t deserve all the shit that comes our way. bisexuality is beautiful and you should absolutely be proud of it! our community is so diverse and amazing and our history and activism is rich and beautiful!
i love you. i know i say it enough times that it annoys you but i really do. even when i am angry at the world i can never be angry at it for giving me you. i desperately wish i could take your pain away and engulf it in my bones. i am always here. and even if you think you won't, i think that you'll be better off without me. that doesn't mean i'm leaving tho, i have always been kind of selfish. i look at you and something swells in my chest. i love you. i hope you're okay. i hope you like me. i hope you love me. i hope that i'm in your mind even for a fraction of a second. i hope i bring you as much happiness as you bring me. i hope you get to come to my funeral.
