Man whose favorite animal is stray dogs…... And finds his place and role in giving one a tight collar, being the master being the framing of its whole life, giving it directives and direction. Who despite it ruthlessly releases that dog out to be masterless again, knows it to be a deep wound to inflict. Where being wanted, wanted somewhere, by someone, is the most important thing.
Kainess where just dominating and being dominated in life and agency and control is intimacy. Being acknowledged, your opinion praised or shredded. Being treated as a possession, where ownership is belonging, because the alternative is being alone, or being trash that no one wants. Kainess…….
Quoting Shroomystar: His favorite animals are stray dogs and that's what Ness is to him, an unloved stray dog, but in the end Ness does have a place to go, as loveless as it is— the true stray dog is Kaiser, after all. You were the dog in the end
Men who think of dogs as something pathetic and beneath them that they unconsciously avoid sympathetizing with despite their own proximity to it because it's too vulnerable, themselves being more dog than anyone, I love you....... Kaiser is very explicit about it, he treats other like shit to feel less like shit himself. By making someone else more dog than he is he has to confront his self-loathing less
It's the insulting demeaning emotionality of it, the implication that his feelings and desires have him on a leash, and not the reverse like he'd like to think. It's the dehumanization of it the dehumanization of being a slave to your own humanity & animality and feelings goddddd fuck. You are lower than the dogs you look down on because you have chained yourself and denied your nature, devoted yourself to hating that nature and stampling it, worse than domesticating it, killing the animal- the excitable the joyful the scared the hungry- within you. Until there's only a shell of a human left that's more rabid than the alternative could have ever been. You were the dog in the end... A lost, scared, rabid dog.
I need to become human. I won't be trash, I will be loved, loved, loved.
