1/3 Solos -> Left Behind, Spring Awakening

All things he ever lived are left behind, all fears that ever flickered through his mind, all the sadness that he’d come to own.

Portraits from my piece for @btszines !

“I feel like dying when my hyungs are sad. When my hyungs are hurt, it hurts more than when I am.”

When I tell you I cried,

I meant I fucking sobbed.

He really just went ahead and fell in love on first sight with Stede looking his absolute half-dead-rat worst, huh?

What a sight for sore eyes

I submit to you that the most iconic feature of any animal is either unlikely or impossible to fossilize.

If all we had of wolves were their bones we would never guess that they howl.

If all we had of elephants were fossils with no living related species, we might infer some kind of proboscis but we'd never come up with those ears.

If all we had of chickens were bones, we wouldn't know about their combs and wattles, or that roosters crow.

We wouldn't know that lions have manes, or that zebras have stripes, or that peacocks have trains, that howler monkeys yell, that cats purr, that deer shed the velvet from their antlers, that caterpillars become butterflies, that spiders make webs, that chickadees say their name, that Canada geese are assholes, that orangutans are ginger, that dolphins echolocate, or that squid even existed.

My point here is that we don't know anything about dinosaurs. If we saw one we would not recognize it. As my evidence I submit the above, along with the fact that it took us two centuries to realize they'd been all around us the whole time.
