obsessed with thomas. happy pride 🪿🌈✨

tumblr post with a screenshot of an article titled “Blind Bisexual Goose Named Thomas Who
Spent Six Years in a Love Triangle With Two Swans And Helped Raise 68 Babies Dies at The Ripe Old Age Of 40”

subheading: He's a bit much

MAY 29, 2024

RIP to the legend

tumblr post continues

This goose fucking rocks and had a crazy life!
(link to Thomas’ wikipedia article)

I really just have to summarize Thomas's entire life:

• He was in a committed relationship with a male swan named Henry for 18-24 years before a female swan named Henrietta showed up and mated with Henry.
• Thomas was initially jealous of the pair and attacked them, breaking 2 of the 5 eggs Henrietta had laid. However, once the remaining eggs hatched, Thomas warmed up to them and helped raise them.
• Henry couldn't fly because of an injured wing, so Thomas taught the cygnets how to fly.
• When they needed to reduce the goose population in the pond where Thomas and the swans lived, they dyed Thomas's feathers red so he wouldn't be separated from Henry.
• Henry, Henrietta, and Thomas remained in their happy throuple for years and raised 68 cygnets before Henry died in 2009. After Henry's death, Henrietta found another swan and flew away, leaving Thomas alone.
•Thomas finally met and mated with a female goose in 2011 and had his own babies. However, another goose named George stole them and raised them himself.
• As Thomas grew elderly and blind, he was relocated to a wildlife center where he raised orphaned cygnets.
• His caretaker at the center described him as "pretty high maintenance."
• Thomas died in 2018 at the age of around 40. He had a funeral that included a small coffin and a procession that was led by a bagpiper.
He was buried under the stone where Henry was buried, the two finally reunited in death.
• Before and after his death, Thomas has been celebrated as an icon of the LGBTQ+ community for obvious reasons.

why is packing for a trip with a baby 10 trillion times harder than you expect it to be???

ariel 🦇 @arieljaded.bsky.social · 20/04/2025

forever experiencing the pendulum of having the most euphoric “this is what life is about” moments and then the most numb “what is even the point of continuing” thoughts… sorry to be sad on main but hahaha anyways check on your mom friends they probably aren’t okay.

somehow my husband has pavloved my kid into calming down and falling asleep to the Sea of Thieves soundtrack?

my love language is the kids in my life telling me how good of a mom they know I am/going to be. like it’s so hard not to feel like you’re fucking everything up as a mom, but when a 17 year old you used to babysit tells you they know you’re gonna crush it? feels good man 🥲

constantly torn between keeping my baby’s face off the internet and wanting to blast it everywhere because he’s genuinely the cutest baby I have ever seen and I feel like everyone needs to see his cuteness 😅

me before having my own kid: I probably won’t have many toys that are loud or have lots of lights because I get overstimulated so easily me now: what god do I need to pray to to hold my childs attention for longer than 30 seconds

peoples obsession with weight & weight loss postpartum is so disheartening. sorry I don’t look thin enough to you, I’ve been kind of busy keeping a baby alive.

ariel 🦇 @arieljaded.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

I know it’s hard to be 100% sure but I really am so certain that I made the cutest baby to ever exist (he woke up, smiled at me, and fell right back to sleep so I think this confirms it tbh)

can someone tell my baby that 4am is not really an ideal wake up time? I keep telling him myself but I don’t think he believes me. sincerely, up before the sun every single day

ariel 🦇 @arieljaded.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

not to be sappy on main, but my birthday is in a few days and when I blew out my candles last year I wished for a baby… and now a year later I get to celebrate the day while holding my little guy. that’s just really special. anywayyyy dreams do come true or whatever 😭😭😭
