A year ago today, Ponsuke passed away due to health reasons. We will always miss you :( Credit: tokkaricenter_official on Instagram
maybe he’s visting unicorn land… i imagine he’s visited a land full of candy and a land full of yummy fish
He has come such a long way to meet you
iirc it has now been exactly one year since Ponsuke died. I may not have much to say but I will say this: We as a community should remember Ponsuke. Wether that be a post like this or just going back to posts from before his death to reminisce. While I hate to be the one to remind people of sad things I feel it’s only right that someone commemorate Ponsuke considering the impact both his life and his death had on people.
we will never forget you Ponsuke.

After working a long day today. I got to sit down and eat and was watching a show. This show was showing a bunch of seals. I have to say I never realized how cute they are. And I know this sounds kind of weird LOL but they kind of look like big worms or a mix of a big worm and a slug bahaha! And I know that does not sound cute at all because I do not think worms and slugs are cute. In fact I'm sure a lot of people may agree with me on that. But, it's just the shape that I'm talking about. They actually have like the cutest little loving look in their eyes! That is what I noticed.
I like how they like to bunch together as well. On the show I could see how some of them had a bunch of what look to be like cuts on them.. obviously wounds... I did not notice this before because I've never seen one that close. But it reminded me of seeing a shark or something that had cuts or wounds. I did not realize that they had wounds like that but it makes sense I guess since they are in the water like that.
I'm curious to know what their personalities are like. Are seals nice? Lol! What are their behaviors like?
