I think the Jared Leto meme should be "Jared Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way" or sth along those lines
:
Hi my name is Jared Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way and I have short green hair (that’s how I got my name) with light green streaks and aqua green tips that reaches my neck and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like the joker (AN: if u don’t know who he is get da hell out of here!). I’m not related to Heath Ledger but I wish I were because he’s a major fucking hottie. I’m a villain but I wear silver grills on my teeth. I have pale white skin. I’m also insane, and I live in a dark city called Gotham which I have terrorized for years (I’m forty four). I’m a goth (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly purple. I love Hot Topic and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a purple tuxedo, white a white collar shirt, black suspenders, and fancy black italian leather shoes. I was wearing red lipstick, white foundation, black eyeliner and black eye shadow. I was walking outside Gotham. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. Batman and the director stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.
I honestly hope the gag reel for suicide squad is 100% margot robbie and/or will smith breaking character and just kicking jared leto’s ass every other take
Yeah, it kinda sucks being told you kinda suck as a caregiver. It’s more than a little upsetting. But what’s more important? Your ego, or the well-being of another living thing?
If you are being told that you are making mistakes in your pet care, there are some things you need to know before you go screaming at the person telling you something is wrong.
First, you need to know that you are not an expert on any animal just because you have a basic info sheet from Petco that came with your pet. You shouldn’t trust Petco or Petsmart’s advice alone, if at all. A commercial pet store’s primary goal is to make a sale, not to ensure that an animal is in good hands.
Second, you need to research every animal extensively before you adopt it. This does not mean checking Yahoo! Answers for advice for five minutes. This means spending a LOT of time on reputable websites on your species of interest. (For example, Caudata.org is a good place to learn about axolotl, salamander, and newt care.) There’s a chance you will change your mind researching and finding out you can’t or don’t wish to accommodate certain needs. This is not a bad thing. You need to be sure you are able to meet the demands of a pet to care for it before you adopt it.
Third, if someone tells you that you are not taking proper care of your pet and tells you why, think about it. Before you start typing an angry rant about how you’re offended by it, try to put your ego and pride aside long enough to consider their advice. For example, when a seasoned aquatic caregiver tells you that you should have about a 3 gallon tank for your betta, that axolotls should not be kept on gravel, or something of that nature, they are not being mean. They are telling you facts about caring for this animal.
Fourth, If someone tells you that you are not providing proper care for your pet, don’t tell them you “know your pet better than they do.” Don’t tell them your pet is “perfectly happy” in its current conditions. People who don’t know much about these animals tend not to notice, let alone comment on your improper pet care. They’ll reblog your coffee mug-sized betta bowl and say how pretty it is. Conversely, people who do know something about the animal in question are probably going to alert you to issues and tell you how it can be fixed.
What many casual exotic pet owners usually don’t want to accept is that they are wrong, and that they might be neglecting their pets. But here’s the thing.
There is NO room for pride when you’re providing care for another living thing.
Your pet depends on you to care for it. So study first. Do shit right. It’s like having a kid. If you can’t handle that, you might want to get a pet rock instead.
Had to reblog this because it’s so important to know how and when you mess up in pet care instead of just lashing out them and saying you know better because you might not know any better. No one is an expert
I dunno, I think there are some experts. I’d call my vet an expert. I’d call some of the breeders I know experts. I think there’s plenty of people here on tumblr who I’d call an expert in the care and keeping of their animal/s. Expert just means somebody who has great knowledge and experience, but it doesn’t mean they’re afraid to learn or that they’ve stopped learning. I value these peoples’ advice far more than I do that of somebody who’s never had hands-on experience, and that’s also I think very important- when people give you advice, many times it’s because they’ve had the species for years and they know what does and doesn’t work. Typically when a person like that is giving you advice, it doesn’t come from a need to feel superior, it comes from them seeing you making mistakes that maybe they’ve made and they just want to spare you a lot of heartache and grief. When somebody points out that you’re taking unnecessary risks, think about what that might mean for your pet- if this is an animal you love, why would you do something that could hurt it? (And if you don’t love this animal… why do you have it?)
