New research led by Kazuo Fujita of Kyoto University has found that your dog is the best wing man/woman. The researchers tested three groups of 18 dogs by putting them in rooms with their owners as well as two strangers. The owners were tasked with opening a box, and solicited help from the two other people in the room (sometimes they would help and sometimes they would refuse). After watching their owners either be rebuffed or aided, the dogs were offered food by the strangers — and were much more likely to ignore the stranger who had been unkind to their owner.
Speaking of silly Gilkidu AUs, have a Soul Eater one.
Gil is the top student at DWMA, but he’s a gigantic asshole. No one likes him much less wants to be his partner..
On the other hand, everyone wants to be Enkidu’s partner. They’re kinda like Tsubaki in that they can turn into all kinds of weapons, and they’re generally considered a pleasant person to be around (if a little bloodthirsty/reckless from time to time.)
But they turn down every offer, saying they’ve already got a Meister and they wouldn’t partner with anyone else.
Of course that partner is Gilgamesh. Enkidu is the only one who can match his soul’s wavelength anyway (so well that it’s scary).
Incidentally Enkidu switches between the girl’s and boy’s uniform and/or mixes and matches the two on a daily basis. Everyone’s always like ??? but also !!! because they look great in either. (They think the attention is hilarious. Gil is less than pleased.)
