I know it's an unpopular opinion for some reason, but possums genuinely freak me the fuck out. They are simultaneously heartbreakingly adorable and horrifyingly repulsive. Total nightmare fuel wrapped in deceptive cuteness.

No fucking wonder that one guy named his twisted puppet horror movie Possum.

Well, think of it this way. If they look really pretty, with nice healthy lush fur. Would they really make good "dead animal" paid actors?

They probably would, but no amount of shampoo can make their adorable little faces look less like my sleep paralysis demon. I would legit run as fast as I could if I came across a possum at night. Hell, in daylight too. They just don't look right.
