This is a weird theory but I might argue that most anthro animals are highly symbolic - their forms are specifically neither animal nor human as an IDEALIZATION.

I think that's part of how ferals were a lot more popular in 90s fandom - ferals are more recognition and representation of human AS animal (or in the case of therians, a quadruped animal self image is very intentionally NOT an idealization), less very derived animal traits as a shorthand for idealized humans. If that one makes sense?

dude! It's that OTHER part of the movie where Neo fights that one dude!

okay, to be fair ALL Juno Reactor is potentially the part of the movie where Neo fights that one dude

when you're the OWoD kwisatz haderach you get into lots of punchouts, okay?

this is of course before Neo meets Colonel Harlan Sanders who explains that originally the Matrix only came in original flavor and didn't include any sides, but The Oracle insisted that for stability they make a spicy option

whoa

it's like the part of the movie where Neo meets that one dude and there's a punchout

you know, before the part where Neo meets that OTHER nimrod and they fight

he was big and strong
in his eyes a flaming glow
most people looked at him
with terror and with fear
but to moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear

* any Werewolf the Apocalypse game if played in certain ways is effectively indistinguishable from Shadowrun

* any high energy Juno Reactor track is effectively indistinguishable from the part of Cirque du Soleil where all the cast is running across the stage/rolling across in big hoops/etc

it took me years to realize that this old folksong was NOT about one of the many struggles for Irish independence

I couldn't find anything significant about May 14 (turns out to simply rhyme)

gower wassail, gower wassail, from out of the town
our cup it is white and our ale is brown
our wassail is made from the finest horse-shit
some nutmeg and ginger add flavor to it

although you try to discredit
you'll still never edit
the needle I'll thread it
radically poetic
standing with the fury they had in 66
and like e double I'm mad, still knee deep in the system's shit
hoover!
he was a body remover!
I'll give you a dose but it can never come close
to the rage built up inside of me
fist in the air in the land of hypocrisy!
movements come and movements go
leaders speak movements cease
when their heads are flown
cause all these punks got bullets in their heads
department of police, what
the judges what
the feds

also much as I resent leftists, rightwingers are fuckin' vile and all of them can just fuck off into the sun.

SKREEEEEEEE!

(as an aside, is it weird that dromaeosaurs being cracked out crows is WAY more appealing to me than them being much more reptilian?)

That was a relatively OK visit, but my shoulders hurt like I’ve been firing a Nagant. don’t ask me how I know what that feels like.

Not surprising but; I don’t really want to spend all Saturday with my folks. I’ll do it, it’ll be done, I’ll eat half an edible and listen to Maazel’s “Ring Ohne Worte” or something, it’ll be okay.

I'm starting to see my really fearful, hostile view of the world as a by product of just being sort of naturally nervous. This doesn't work great with the ADHD hope for, need for quick dopamine fixes.

Something negative happens, and before the cortisols have really cleared my brain something negative happens, and more stacks. On a conscious level my mind looks for a logic behind why such awful stuff would be happening, and comes up with this intentionally hurtful universe - or how completely shitty I am.

The first few days of my life were emergency situations, I'm told that sticks at some level. Nearly dying in the accident didn't help. The anemia in 5th grade or so didn't help. And for the first 18 years of my life, negatives were constantly happening without enough space to really recover. And for the first 18 years of my life, I really WAS getting told this universe was intentionally hurtful, that other people were legitimately better than me, and that I was completely shitty.

So honestly all of this, all of this terrible take on life is at base my jumpiness. Nothing more OR LESS meaningful. Just ADHD and anxiety and exactly none of it being acknowledged and honored.
