Fern: I hate halloween costumes. I am insulted by them.
Sid: ImageImageImageImage
The cape kept flipping over and he didn't know how to handle that. Image
Fern sends luck Image
Sunday Image
people are asking: does Sid have short legs?
the answer: they are the right length for Sid ok
Sid busy this morning making sure the ghosts can't find us
Sid playing a very methodical, slow burn version of fetch this morning
Tuesday morning Fern content #SoundUpForFern
napping Sid Image
We gave them catnip. ImageImage
We put out two piles, one for each of them. Sid walked over, scooped them together and then flopped down on top of them.
Tuesday ImageImage
UPDATE: Sid now weighs 6.8 POUNDS 💪💪💪 Image
Sid was doing his air pawing over my coffee this morning. Thank you Sid. I feel very safe now. Image
Sid Catfield, everyone ImageImage
Power's been out for the past 30 minutes and in that time we've discovered that Sid REALLY likes fire. Image
Fern is following me around the dark house. A few seconds later Sid darted across the hall. No idea what he is up to. Image
sunday night #SoundUpForFern
apologies for the loud radiator directly next to the camera
Monday Image
Fern didn't make it through the work meeting earlier ImageImage
Sid has discovered spinach, loves it
fern please dust your synth ImageImage
Fern is such the good natured but melancholy, pensive intellectual, while Sid is just a chill good vibes bear from space.
Bethany put out some catnip and Sid overindulged and has been immobile for the past couple hours. ImageImageImage
Bethany's dad was squirrel hunting and sent a tail for the cats and for Sid in particular it is the most incredible and important thing in the world
🐿️ ImageImage
I can't believe like 3 months ago this guy was on the brink of death. Sid is the comeback king of 2020.
i'm glad Bethany got a good video of Sid in full power mode
FERN Image
today Sid rolled off the ottoman in his sleep, woke up for a second, and fell back to sleep right there on the floor
slow motion Sid
here they come
this clip really captures their personalities- Sid bounding down the stairs while Fern thoughtfully walks
late night teamwork, filmed secretly, in low light conditions
Bethany was putting out some christmas decorations and a very helpful Sid had to be carried around so he could still be involved while not ruining literally everything ImageImage
the focus... the drive...
Sunday Image
Fern and Sid everyone ImageImage
context here is the dot was on the wall above them and while Sid was transfixed, Fern was attempting to communicate
Sunday Night Fern ImageImage
I promise I will at some point stop posting slowmo vids of Sid jumping around but it will probably not be anytime soon.
Fern Image
the first winter mane is coming along nicely ImageImage
office buddy Fern ImageImage
definitely less often than a few months ago but from time to time, such as today, yes. although she's never been like REALLY rank just like uh... feral woodsy animal.
Caught Fern casing the Christmas tree. She stared at me until I backed away. Image

Tuesday ImageImage
I should stress that Sid's legs are perfectly normal length, they just don't appear that way because of his build and fur. Also compared to Fern anyone looks very stubby.
powerful footage, battles of wit and strength
they are more evenly matched these days than they were a few months back, when Sid was very sick and Fern would absolutely thrash him
they each have their own fighting styles. Fern employs an evolved form of the lunge-and-leg combos she used to great effect as a kitten, while Sid has developed a style that combines huge bursts of energy along with flips and piledrivers and other brutal takedowns.
Sid was hanging out in the kitchen while Bethany made Christmas cookies and all was going well until he walked up and shoved his face directly into 5 cups of flour. ImageImage
bath time
4am, front door Image
Late night dot watching.

replies to my marvel movies =/= mythology tweets are still going 2 days later. current sentiments include "what we call mythology was just the bestselling fiction of its day"
Thor was just the Thor of 9th century Scandinavia before the Bible sold more and the fandom moved on to stan Christ
Attempting to explain how this works via the same logic as our current capitalist culture market like I'm doing a TED talk. Image

Glenn White coke ovens in the woods outside Gallitzin, PA. Bethany counted 66 of them but the ridge they were on had long ago collapsed near the end of the line so we didn't get to the last dozen or so. ImageImageImageImage
It was all very cool. I spooked some animal who was hanging out in that last one. Not sure what it was but hey don't worry guy I'm just here to check out your place. ImageImageImageImage
It was extremely deer season and it was state hunting grounds and I wasn't wearing near enough orange but these were close enough to the road that goes down the mountain that I wasn't super worried about getting shot. Still: hey everyone wear orange in hunting zones. ImageImageImageImage

one of the sort of unquestioned myths of american history is that even during our various regional booms that brought a lot of infrastructure and created various towns were like stable and durable things and not short lived slash and burn value extractions
we visit lots of places that have been growing ancient and mythical in the woods for a century plus, and these things often were built and then closed down fairly quickly.
something in your brain says "big ancient structure must have been in use for a long time" and no, a lot of times it's like "these coke furnaces were built in 1905 by the Totally Stable Coal Company and closed in 1907"

So, if you drive out into the mountains in Bedford county you come to this very remote area. Aside from a ski resort and some state park infrastructure here and there it's pretty isolated. Only 40 minutes or so from Altoona or Johnstown but you have to work to get out here.
You wind around ridges and through valleys, woods, farms, and the odd tiny village for quite a while and then take a very long dirt and/or gravel road in various states of upkeep. Keep going for a few miles and you come across a small pull off, and a sign.
In 1856 this area was pretty wild, and one spring day two children, brothers ages 5 and 7, disappeared. Their dad had gone off into the woods to see why their dog was barking. When he returned they were gone.

Argue all you want about what is and isn't for kids and whether that's fine for adults but I cannot stress enough that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is not equivalent to mythology. They may draw upon mythological or folkloric elements but that really just is not the same thing.
They have wildly different cultural and historical contexts and purposes, the ownership and production of these things do actually matter, and "stories that have themes and fantastical elements" by itself =/= mythology or folklore.
Realizing this is just YA legitimacy discourse but for Disney. I have fallen into a trap
