Juvenile spotted hyena skull
part of the reason America still doesn’t have universal healthcare is that a large portion of the healthy population consciously or subconsciously believes that being sick is somehow a moral failing. someone randomly has a heart attack at age 30 and there are people like “well, you should have eaten better, exercised more and drank less” like a medical emergency is proof you were living a life of sloth and sin and it could never happen to them. 
Doctor calls you with your bloodwork results and just says “I’m really mad at you” and then hangs up
Just a quick drawing of Jaeger - the hyena/skunk hybrid - to practice a few things.
I keep seeing people making fun of using growled, hissed, roared, snarled etc in writing and it’s like.
have you never heard someone speak with the gravel in their voice when they get angry? Because that’s what a growl is.
Have you never heard someone sharply whisper something through the thin space of their teeth? Or when your mother sharply told you to stop it in public as a kid when you were acting up/being too loud? Because that’s what a hiss is.
Have you never heard a man get so blackout angry that their voice BOOMS through the house? Because that’s what a roar is.
Have you never seen someone bare their teeth while talking to accentuate their frustration or anger while speaking with a vicious tone? Because that’s what snarling is.
It’s not meant to be a literal animal noise. For the love of god, not every description is literal. I get some people are genuinely confused, but also some of these people are genuinely unimaginative as fuck.
I thought I might share one of my new tattoos. A couple years ago, a dear friend and I coined the term “fish bag moment”
A fish bag moment might be sitting all alone in an empty new apartment after coming out and upending your life, or starting a new job in a brand new line of work because it’s closer to your dreams
It’s what happens when you take a leap of faith or make a hard decision for yourself, when the future is so hard to visualize and everything feels scary. You’re just a fish in a bag and you can’t see where you’re going
But you’re on your way to a bigger aquarium
"I drift in space, no oxygen // I suffocate again // Slow motion now, can't feel the ground // So wish me well, my friend
I disconnect reality // Like static on a TV screen // Feels just like a fever dream // When nothing's what it seems to be
Ask God to save me // But she won't take me, no
I'm in between the sky and sea // I'm floating in oblivion // I'm in between entrapped and free // I'm floating in oblivion
I'm in the middle of the best and worst of me // Hurts to breathe, can't believe I'm so lost // All I want is someone to find me // Bring me back from oblivion"
