This is Rajan. He is a 60yr old Asian elephant who was brought to the Andaman Islands for logging in the 1970’s. He along wiht a small group of 10 elephants were brutally forced to learn how to swim in the ocean so that they could bring the logged trees to nearby boats and then eventually swim onto the next island. When logging became banned in 2002, Rajan was out of a job. He has been living out his days on one of the Islands where I caught up with him and his Mahout(caretaker) named Nazroo who have been together for 30 yrs. and have a truly amazing bond. Rajan is truly the last of his kind. When he dies we will probably never see an ocean swimming elephant again.

A comparison.
I would just like to point out that the beginning and end of Spirited Away creep me out in the most delicious way possible. I’ve always been a fan of fairy tales, and not just the Grimm and Anderson stuff, almost all my life. Like the honestly faerie court stories.
Themes you see in those reflect strongly in this movie, and comparing them side by side just makes it that much more stark.
Often times you hear that if you get sucked into the fairy realm, you shouldn’t eat their food. It gives them power over you. More often than not, heroes finally escape the fairy realm after what they perceive to be a very short time (a night or a week)…
…only to find that seasons or years have passed.
‘Hey, it’s all dusty in here. Is this someone’s idea of a joke?’
CRAPPING SHIT I WHY HAVE I NEVER NOTICED THIS
This always freaked me out a little as a kid. Like the OP, I couldn’t help but wonder how long REALLY passed. I always pretended it was something like a week but… Judging by that moss, I can’t say for sure.
A week? Try much MUCH /MUCH/ longer. The plants are a good indicator but a better one is the statue. We’re seeing it from the same angle in each shot. Look in the first one before she enters, it’s not NEW but you can tell what it is.
Now look at the second frame. It’s so eroded it’s just a dull, flat stone.
That thing is solid stone, that must have taken up to, if not more than, a DECADE to wear down that much.
Not to mention that there are new trees next to the car. Just remember how long it actually takes for trees to grow real quick.
Evidence is suggesting they were in there for maybe around 20-30 years.
And when they arrived it was cobblestones they parked on, but when they leave it’s all grown over with grass
holy SHIT

I’m seriously just mad at people right now.
Just because my partner Johnny identifies as male, you shitheads attack him because he DOES identify as male. Because on this site, apparently what gender you are defines what issues you can complain about. It’s fucking funny because I agree with a lot of what he sees on this site.
You ARE worse than Reddit, and I fucking HATE Reddit.
So what if you got some random ass girl a fucking chicken?! This site is literally self-made memes, and that’s ALL IT’S GOOD FOR. No one gives a shit if you’re depressed on this site until you threaten to FUCKING KILL YOURSELF.
It’s disgusting and the only reason I honestly come back is because reblogging bunnies ACTUALLY helps my anxiety and depression. I’m mindful of my followers and tag to let you navigate my blog better, but….I sincerely get disgusted by how people act on here.
