Sad update everyone, Tama recently passed away… An estimated 3,000 people, including railway officials, attended Tama the cat’s funeral on Sunday, days after she died of heart failure aged 16. [x]
For those who haven’t read articles about it, the local shrine elevated her to a god. She’s now the Eternal Stationmaster and patron god of the station.
Beautiful.
Now I’m crying thanks
and a new cat was hired right?
yep! her name is Nitama (essentially ”second tama” or “tama II”) and she served under Tama as an apprentice before being appointed her deputy
she works very hard
Everytime this crosses my dash, I reblog. It is the law.

I’m crying at 11pm over train cats
Nitama, already now a mature cat (born 2010), has a protege named Yontama (fourth Tama, b. 2016). There is no information available for either the physical befellment or tragic self-disgrace which has removed Santama from contention.
you have no idea how much strange joy this video just brought me
oh my god
Bloody brilliant
I HAVEN’T WATCHED THIS IN MONTHS

-Peggy Carter’s funeral would have been more than 3 minutes long.
-Tony Stark would have given a eulogy to Peggy, having grown up admiring her, his dad’s colleague of many years, a tremendously strong female role model (the woman who approved Pepper’s hire, of course).
-Steve Rogers would not have put the moves on Peggy’s niece within a day of burying Peggy.
-Black Widow would have gotten her own movie by now.
-A big part of Bucky’s backstory/flashbacks would have been told through Natasha’s viewpoint, her memories of either working with or against The Winter Soldier in Russia and the East.
-Pepper Potts would have been in Civil War, speaking for herself.
-Wanda’s grief over her brother would still be very present. Her feelings of loss and mourning would be front-and-center for her character.
-Black Panther’s woman bodyguard would have had more than one line.
-Natasha would have told Steve that she was at Peggy’s funeral in part because she didn’t want him to be alone, but also in part to pay respects to the great Peggy Carter.
-There would be way more women in these movies. There would be women of many ages, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and nationalities in these movies. There would be many scenes of women talking to women. There would be many more scenes of women talking. And doing. And feeling. And being.
