I can’t stop looking at it

It won’t let me stop looking at it

Please

[–] b3an@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days 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@lemmy.world 41 points 4 days ago

Where are my testicles, Steve?

[–] irreticent@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

Probably both. Happy Halloween!

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 3 points 4 days ago

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

[–] bruhduh@lemmy.world 41 points 4 days ago

Uncanny valley effect in full

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

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.

[–] BertramDitore@lemm.ee 10 points 4 days ago

Terry Pratchett was one of a kind.

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

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 35 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

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

Looks like a damn goblin puppet from labyrinth

[–] WheelcharArtist@lemmy.world 33 points 4 days ago

that actually looks kind of weird

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 22 points 4 days ago

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

... or you gunna die.

given it's halloween....

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago

Nah this is fucked.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 19 points 4 days ago

Sitting weirdly*

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

We need a community for cats sitting weird

[–] irreticent@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

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

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days 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."
[–] lugal@lemmy.ml 16 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

"I was waiting for you"

[–] bruhduh@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago
[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Sparky@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

Literally perfect

[–] Kernal64@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 days ago

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

Happy Halloween, I guess.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 4 days ago

run for your life and don't look back

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago

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

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

Your cat seems to be malfunctioning.

[–] Naz@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago

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

[–] TotalFat@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Make it stop

[–] HornedMeatBeast@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago
[–] Jimbo@yiffit.net 5 points 4 days ago

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

[–] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

No, cat properly.

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days 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?

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Your cat needs servicing man

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.
