my toxic trait is being fervently convinced that if i ever came across a dragon irl we would make eye contact and understand each other at a primal level of transcendental trust instead of charring me into a crispy onion
Uhm.. fishing buddy!!!

Tiger found caged in abandoned home gets second chance at wildlife sanctuary: โHe seems to be so happyโ
The estimated 350-pound tiger was transported to the facility, an affiliate of the Humane Society of the United States, on Wednesday afternoon, and is settling in well, Almrud said. There, he will have the chance to roam in enclosures of up to three acres.
Almrud, who estimates him to be about 2 years old, described the moment he first walked onto the grass at the sanctuary as remarkable.
โIt was just amazing to see him walk out on grass and to see him explore and have that freedom of movement,โ she said. โIt was just such a reward and fulfilling to us.โ
Now, he spends his days rolling around the grass in glee, Almrud said.
โHe comes right up to the fence every time a staff member is present,โ she said. โHe seems very amenable to our presence.โ
The tiger is eating well โ a combination of chicken, humanely raised non-processed beef and whole prey complete with organs and bones. It appears that he was being fed chicken, which is what owners of exotic cats often feed them, but chicken alone does not provide the complete nutrition they need to thrive, Almrud said.
In addition, caregivers are tasked with keeping the tiger mentally stimulated by creating โpretend huntingโ games and rotating him through different areas so he has access to new smells and environments to explore.
โHe seems to happy and content,โ Almrud said. โOur staff is just falling in love with him.โ
Just an update! Since I got curious and the og post is from 2019.
His name is Loki now! In June he celebrated his 7th birthday at the sanctuary where he lives and thrives. Hereโs a few pics of the boy:
Sometimes I watch the show and try to think of Hannibalโs perspective and itโs a total trip. Like. Imagine youโve been able to control and pick and choose your emotions and reactions your whole life, due to being somehow psychopath-adjacent. And the only time you couldnโt was when you were little with your baby sister, and itโs probable that as your brain matured, the possibility of feeling and forming connections like that dried up entirely. You read the psychiatric journals, and occasionally thereโs something about a man who can connect with others so deeply he can become an echo of them. And then you meet this man, and he mocks your comment about eye contact while holding yours.
An understanding passes between both of you that you have hidden depths. Instead of killing him, you bring him breakfast, and make him dinner, and serve him drinks. Instead of being able to toy with his mind without a care, you think of him and your chest clenches, and your gut swoops, and his face and voice and his rude little barbs invade your mind like glittering parasites that you canโt remove. These feelings are alien, and theyโre also yours. You know, deep down, why youโre letting him live, why you stare after him, why you toe the line of risking it all for him. But you donโt want to face it. Itโs terrifying, this horizon of who you are and can be that looms before you with no choice of your own.
Framing him presents a convenient opportunity for ridding yourself of this thing he brings on in you, this total lack of control, this fever-dream surrender that breaches the walls of your mind and the tics and tells of your body so effortlesslyโ but you miss him. You donโt miss anyone, and the one person you do is more of an imago that never was able to grow into her own real person. But the you youโve helplessly become certainly does. Youโve become an addict. You cannot let him rot when his presence gave your monochrome world color, you canโt quit the drug youโve always shunned. This is all a devilโs bargain, certainly, but youโve already damned yourself, and all thatโs left to do is plunge further. Oh and by the way. The infuriating man in question looks like this:
Like okay then, good luck not having the crashout of the century ๐ญ
no wonder they're in love
my computer tried to eat this image but i will not be silenced
I canโt stop watching it.

If you have a bad day remember that Will asking if Hannibal is in L-O-V-E with him is canon
