here is what fucks me up: the epic of gilgamesh is the oldest surviving fictional narrative, and gilgamesh and enkidu are totally shippable

I KNOW RIGHT????? gilgy deciding not to get together with ishtar was totally out of an act of absolute gayness, i have been saying this since the beginning

it’s just bizarre because at first i was saying this as a joke but like it’s not even just that they’re “shippable”, it’s that they’re “shippable” in so many of the same ways and for so many of the same reasons that popular male/male fandom ship couples are in popular media today, like, you still see these tropes– “you changed me”, one being created “for” the other, the death angst, holding bodies in arms, journey to the underworld, coming to terms with things. like… is this some sort of deep deep human subconscious thing? did epic of gilgamesh start this particular type of homoromantic undertone or is this some primal human instinct that goes back even further than mesopotamia? this is just the oldest surviving, written story. and it was a recounting of a tale that was told orally through generations beforehand. how far back does yaoi go in human history? how far?

Retro pugs. 

This is a recreation of the original pug. They can do many things the modern pug can’t, like going out in cold and heat and actually working. They are not perfect, but maybe one day they will be.

these are adorable. the tails aren’t so tightly curled either, which is nice.

just something to think about: Pug breeding in Germany is not the same as Pug breeding elsewhere. Germany has anti-torture breeding restrictions, due to breeds like Pugs and Pekes not being able to just be dogs. MPRV Pugs have longer legs, extended muzzles, less-tightly curled tails, and eyes that sit IN the head and look in the same direction!

this breeding practice needs to spread.

“Qualzucht? Nein Danke!”

Everyone needs to read that link posted above! 

I know that Pugs are a very well loved breed, especially on Tumblr, but more people need to be aware of the health problems they have due to the way they look. I implore you all to read that link, because it explains why a longer nose is better, why a straighter tail is better. It explains why the Pugs looks need to change and where breeders are going wrong. It’s wrong to breed a dog just for aesthetics and in doing so cause a mass amount of health problems, it causes problems to things that should be easy for anything living e.g. breathing. 
Breeding Pugs the way we are, the problems they face now are only going to get worse in the future and that’s scary. Doesn’t health and happiness come before aesthetics? If you really, truly loves dogs and Pugs in particular, you’d understand that the step forward is to out-breed Pugs and to make them healthier.

These Retro Pugs aren’t perfect, but they’re so much better and it makes me so happy. This is what Pugs should look like, this way they’ll have a new lease of life. 
Retro Pugs are the way forward and if everyone follows, it’s a bright future for the Pug. 

Oh god yes, everybody needs to know about retro-pugs! It’s a wonderful effort to decrease the many many healthproblems pugs have via crossbreeding with different, more healthier breeds. The pugs maintain their goofy sweet look, just a little sturdier and often a little bigger and with longer legs. There are a couple of great breeders in Germany that I’ve been keeping an eye on for years now.

Also they usually still have their very pug-typical character and personality, with the added bonus of being healthier and less prone to diseases and ailments. So when I’m going to have a pug – and one day I WILL – I’ll definitely buy a retropug :3

somebody DO SOMETHING

i’ve added this before but this is the most important story that i have

this was published in the vancouver sun like 2 years ago, and i remember reading the paper after class while my sister was watching tv or something, and i burst out laughing when i read the headline. and so im tell her to look, and show her the article and she says “what’s a rim job” and my dad looked up at me and we held eye contact for like. a whole minute and we just had a terrible moment where he knew that i knew what a rim job was, and i knew that he knew what a rim job was and now that’s a reality that we have to face together

that commentary was beautiful
