I can’t stop looking at it

It won’t let me stop looking at it

Please

[–] b3an 8 points 1 month ago

Yeah if my cat did that. I could never believe they weren’t sentient or inhabited by another entity again.

Not sure if "Steve, we need to talk" or "I've been watching you in your sleep."

[–] SkunkWorkz 41 points 1 month ago

Where are my testicles, Steve?

[–] irreticent 12 points 1 month ago

Probably both. Happy Halloween!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

The first thought that came to mind for me was, “hello susan. You’re right on time. Please, have a seat.”

[–] [email protected] 53 points 1 month ago

Everybody check your trinkets and see which is glowing. We need an ID on this creature before initiative.

Uncanny valley effect in full

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 month ago

Yeah I'm straight up dying from a heart attack if I woke up and saw that.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Are you sure that's not a furry? You might have accidentally adopted a furry.

that actually looks kind of weird

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago

Looks like a damn goblin puppet from labyrinth

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Looks like some kind of fae. Run.

This Terry Pratchett (GNU) quote pretty much explains it (he uses the term “(Discworld) elves”, but given that Lords and Ladies is clearly based on A Midsummer's Night Dream the quote equally applies to any kind of fae, and not necessarily, for instance, to Tolkien or DnD elves):

Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.
Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels.
Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.
Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.
Elves are terrific. They beget terror.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.

No one ever said elves are nice. Elves are bad.

Terry Pratchett was one of a kind.

[–] M137 19 points 1 month ago

Sitting weirdly*

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

"I was waiting for you"

[–] synapse1278 14 points 1 month ago

"what's wrong babe? Your not in the mood ?

  • it's not that... it's the cat...
  • c'mon, he just a pet, he doesn't understand what we're doing.
  • 😺: don't mind me, I'm just sitting here."
[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

There's nothing pretty about this. This is straight up nightmare fuel.

Happy Halloween, I guess.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We need a community for cats sitting weird

[–] irreticent 6 points 1 month ago

You should create one. The problem is finding content to fill it

[–] ieatpwns 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Someone edit the cats shadow to look like a demon or something

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] ieatpwns 9 points 1 month ago

Literally perfect

[–] bruhduh 7 points 1 month ago
[–] gedaliyah 7 points 1 month ago

Your cat seems to be malfunctioning.

[–] TotalFat 6 points 1 month ago

Make it stop

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

run for your life and don't look back

[–] HornedMeatBeast 6 points 1 month ago
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

As the resident cat furry I kind of have to like this

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I think this is the best post I've seen on Lemmy

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

God...if I was half that magnificent my life would have been way easier.....

[–] riodoro1 4 points 1 month ago

Your cat needs servicing man

[–] Machinist 4 points 1 month ago

So I get 10 years of wealth before you harvest my soul? Just sign on the dotted line? Is this ink made from blood?

[–] RememberTheApollo_ 3 points 1 month ago

Cat looks like it’s settling in to have a serious conversation with you about the catnip it found in a shoebox hidden in your closet.

[–] HowManyNimons 3 points 1 month ago

No, cat properly.
