This is Ozzie, who came to Armagh Cats Protection as a stray. Volunteers were shocked when a routine check of his microchip revealed not only that he was registered in Australia, but that he was born in 1989, making him over 25 years old!
It turns out that Ozzie was microchipped in Sydney in 2000 and has since ended up in Northern Ireland – apparently via London in 2004 when he previously turned up as a stray in a vet clinic!

I think the main reason I find homophobia so ridiculous is that gay folk existing and having rights doesn’t affect heterosexual living?? At all?? It literally costs 0 dollars to let us have rights???? We aren’t asking you to pay for our weddings???? We aren’t making you pay taxes for us to exist??? We literally just want you to let us be?? To let us exist??? No charge to you??? Wow what a concept??????¿
Tfw you know there is a new meme because you keep seeing the fallout from it, like references to it, people being annoyed by it’s popularity, even the inevitable “this meme is problematic” posts, but you haven’t seem the thing itself yet, leaving you in this tumultuous purgatory of not caring at all and feeling this unexplainable hollowness of “not knowing”
eu nunca li Dom Casmurro e agora me sinto idiota porque perdi os hot yaois
pra falar a vdd eu tbm não li Dom Casmurro mas a Alice leu e pode confirmar que o Bentinho demonstra ter muito mais afeição pelo Escobar do que pela Capitu e que essa é uma interpretação 100% válida
being in the homestuck fandom in 2011 was fun and nice but it probably had more to do with the fact that i was 14/had just forged my first true bonds to my online friends than with actually being in the fandom
Homestuck had just become popular in the beginning of 2011 and already troll cosplays were popping up at conventions. Absolutely nobody knew where it came from and it seemed to have sprung up overnight. Within the course of several months cosplayers all across the country, and the world, sprouted out from the ground.
It was a time where the word ‘Update’ was sacred and anticipated. It was the beginning of the grey paint fiasco, before anyone even knew what armsocks were and even thought of using them. There was grey everywhere. It was like a rising tide of candy corn horns and cursing children spitting in buckets and playing ‘Spin the faygo’. It was hell and those of us lucky enough to survive it wouldn’t wish it on any of our enemies.
Following into 2012 was a nightmare. Homestuck photoshoots gathered roughly 500-600 people and lasted two and a half hours at conventions. The fandom was obnoxious and nobody knew how to seal their paint. Complaints from hotel staff about there being grey everywhere in the bathrooms at conventions and it clogging the toilets and drains were numerous. There was horn honking in the hallways and loud renditions of ‘How do I live’ every twenty minutes. Broadway Karkat was very much a thing that existed. Panel rooms for Homestuck Q&A’s spanned two entire rooms and filled up to standing room only.
Andrew Hussie visited Florida once and it was a goddamn nightmare.
The homestuck fandom you know now is tame, lax from the extended exposure and tired from the excitement of the past several years. The veteran homestucks look back at it as a time to never be repeated. The children just entering have no idea the glorious terror that the fandom once was.
