I can't wait to be old and super tatted like some Celtic mage elder

I hate the terrible twos - not because it's difficult and stressful emotionally/ sonically - but because it's clearly the result of an intelligent creature not being able to express its needs and therefore being constantly denied them without understanding precisely why - it seems very obvious this is where a lot of weird mental blocks/ irrational hang ups/ future mental conditions can develop - like various emotions is being deeply unmet at such a formative age for us all - a reminder of like ... issues with the monkey brain. Also like it exhausts the ppl around u and idk, like at a point there'll be a tantrum and adults like laugh cuz "it's the terrible twos" - I even catch myself doing it - but then u see the subtle split second grimace of them realizing their pain is funny to others and u know they're smarter than their current state of language acquisition and they won't actually remember this moment but it'll stain their ego forever But also some weird cute ways to learn certain things I suppose but the experience gives me a feeling of existential dread I feel bad for every time I laughed at a cute thing a child did that seemed in the moment like an angry little pikachu being silly but rly it's a super computer booting up and internalizing the difference between its potential and its current reality

Insane to demean horse girls, single handedly keeping the dream of the mongol horde alive.
