shitposting rave 3: Dawn of the third rave

"I like trouncing bullies," Jame says with a feral grin. "They never have the sense to back off and save themselves."

 

*He grimaces and retracts his hand.*

vwhy do you givwe a shit if i poke the fluffballs.

 

"They're pleasing to have around, unlike you."

 

nevwer claimed i vwas pleasant to be around.

 

I like you! -Libre toasts her with tea-

 

-a few mis come over to investigate-

 

Mabel jumps up and gets between Cronus and the kittens. "Leave them alone, you big bully!"

 

Because I like the fluffballs, and given your first reaction was to ask if they were edible I was a little worried for their safety!! [He flares his wings, careful not to dislodge his shoulder-mis.]

 

Mi´s not edible. -the black and white mi tells him- Mi taste like nothing.

 

look, vwhen i see a small livwing thing, my first instinct is to eat it. not my fault trolls evwolvwed that vway.

hm.

 

Yeah, but you don't have to follow every instinct you have. Sunshine apparently has this one too but he has a pet cat! A pet cat that he hasn't eaten and doesn't want to eat!

 

did i eat the small livwing thing?

 

You sure as hell tried to!

 

i made an offhand remark about eating one and then messed vwith them because it vwas funny. nevwer tried to eat one.

 

No one else was amused.

 

didnt say you vwere.

 

Tisseira crosses her arms across her chest. "Look, you," she says, addressing Cronus. "We're predators too. Kits as young as two months have been known to catch bugs and put them directly into their mouths before an adult can stop them, even though at that age we only nurse them and don't give them ground meat yet. All small kits have to be taught which small animals are appropriate prey and which are not, and they all have to learn that it's rude to eat live animals in front of other people. You are essentially telling me you can't master an instinct the average Talassani child has figured out how to control by the age of four or five."

 

i didnt fucking eat it.

 

"No, you did not," says Tisseira. "But you used your instincts as an excuse for making a remark you knew perfectly well would upset people, and you made every single carnivorous predator here look bad when you did it, so fuck the hell off with that noise. We are intelligent. Sapient beings have instincts, but they also have brains, that they can use to control their behaviour."

 

i have a friend who's like that too...he can get a bit..overzealous..about it though...
