ACTUALLY! A breeder in Germany started to breed healthier pugs called “retro mops” and currebtly ppl are trying to get AKC and UKC to recongnize them as the new standard.
heres the comparison:
Reblogging with updates! Healthy bulldogs AND healthy pugs! ❤️
The absurd breed standards are a recent thing, developed in the past 100-150 years. The healthier breeds are much closer to their 19th century ancestors.

“Sweet Temptation or Willpower”
Charles Van den Eycken, 1891.
“Sweet temptation or willpower” I love that painting so much
but whatever i don’t feel strongly about amatonormativity at all .
i think it’s bad that people of any age feel pressure to find a romantic partner. i think giggly “who’s your crush” questions at age 9 are weird. i think young people getting into bad relationships because “it’s what everyone does” is shit. i think that marriage should not be emphasised as the pinnacle of a relationship and frankly i think that marriage should not be expected at all from romantic relationships. i think that there needs to be more embracing of qprs and friendships and simply not getting a romantic partner. i think it’s weird that half the time when you do something nice for someone people wonder if you’re flirting. i think that people can and do care deeply about each other without needing to subscribe to the mainstream ideas of love. i think that there should be less of an emphasis on “love” in general. i think the idea of what is “romantic” versus “platonic” is different for everyone and therefore doesn’t really have a use except to evoke vague ideas about social customs
some people are making this about behavior in relationships so i feel the need to say this isnt about that. this is about why people get into those relationships at all. this is about how the idea of romance restricts many people. when i say im talking about amatonormativity i do fully mean im talking about amatonormativity. complain abt arguing with your spouse somewhere else this is for the poly & aro people
goodnight hairy trans women. goodnight fat trans women. goodnight trans women with deep voices. goodnight trans women with broad shoulders. goodnight tall trans women. i love y'all.
