I can’t stop looking at it

It won’t let me stop looking at it

Please

[-] b3an@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Senseless@feddit.org 58 points 2 years ago

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

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 41 points 2 years ago

Where are my testicles, Steve?

[-] irreticent@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Probably both. Happy Halloween!

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

Uncanny valley effect in full

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 35 points 2 years ago

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

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

Very soon now...

[-] WheelcharArtist@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years ago

that actually looks kind of weird

[-] leftzero@lemmynsfw.com 30 points 2 years ago

Looks like some kind of fae. Run.

[-] leftzero@lemmynsfw.com 21 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[-] Kroxx@lemm.ee 30 points 2 years ago

Looks like a damn goblin puppet from labyrinth

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

either this is the start of an anime, and the sidekick is waiting for you to wake up....

... or you gunna die.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

Nah this is fucked.

[-] M137@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

Sitting weirdly*

[-] lugal@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

"I was waiting for you"

[-] synapse1278@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years 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."
[-] Kernal64@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 years ago

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

Happy Halloween, I guess.

[-] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 12 points 2 years ago

We need a community for cats sitting weird

[-] irreticent@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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

[-] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Sparky@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 2 years ago
[-] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Literally perfect

[-] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Your cat seems to be malfunctioning.

[-] bruhduh@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago
[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 years ago

run for your life and don't look back

[-] TotalFat@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

[-] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Naz@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Jimbo@yiffit.net 5 points 2 years ago

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

[-] riodoro1@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Your cat needs servicing man

[-] Machinist@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years 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?

[-] Donebrach@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

One step (sit?) closer to having Palicos

[-] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

No, cat properly.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years 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.
