Bloody, But Unbowed

Did not exactly nail the proportions on this one folks!

some examples of pink in the animal kingdom. while there are no mammals with pink fur, it's naturally found in some birds, insects and fish. otherwise, usually due to genetic pigment mutations like albinism or leucism, some animals appear pink due their extreme paleness – their blood is visible through their skin!

Kinda surprised how many different animals can be black and tan

tomorrow i will ride an elephant sized isopod into a crowded public area and we will all find out what happens next together

my second favorite thing in Nosferatu (1922) is when it cuts to the "werewolf" and it's a hyena with the saddest gentlest eyes you've ever seen

It looks like someone off-screen is telling the hyena that they can't go into the forest because there's a werewolf and it looks so upset about it.

I would play the shit out of this.

Please support this game! I've been following it forever and the developers obviously put a lot of love into finally repping my people as Not Just Generic Bad Guys To Be Slaughtered in QuickTime Events, but the unabashed horse girls we truly are. I really love how outspoken she is about representing proper care and compassion for these animals in the industry too.

Found it! Reblogging to kickstart when I’m at my laptop.

With all due respect I couldn’t resist

I know it's not the worst thing about capitalism. But I do think there's something really *bad* about the fact that between lack of leisure time, lack of disposable income, and "hustle culture" mindset that for many, many, many people the primary/only way they are able to express their creativity and artistic aesthetics is through consumer culture. Buying stuff and displaying that stuff.

When like...making stuff. Drawing, painting, weaving, crafting, sketching is like, baked deep deep into our bones as humans.

But I know so many adults who haven't like...drawn a picture since they were children.

"Ugh my drawings look like a 10 year old did them."

"When did you stop drawing for fun?"

"...when I was like 10."

Never mind that art doesn't have to be good to be fun.

Something something the rise of AI art

Side note, setting aside the transphobia, antiblackness, antisemitism, fatphobia, slavphobia, hibernophobia, classism, and I'm pretty sure I missed a few, it is also concerning that Harry Potter has directly led to the creation of multiple cults

Once is a charismatic and controlling person who happened to pick the HP fandom as the community to recruit from, twice could just be because of how massive the fandom was at its height, but I'm pretty sure there've been at least three and I'm not aware of any other fandom that that's happened with

Three? I'm aware of HPMOR and Snapewives, what's the other one?

the DAYDians (for Dumbledore's Army and the Year of Darkness), which was run by the same guy who also ran a hobbit cult in the early aughts. He tried to do the same thing with Supernatural and possibly Critical Role, and is now claiming unique, special abilities to communicate with sparrows. For Andy, the specific fandom he's using at any given time is secondary to the fact that it is fandom, which is where he prefers to source his victims from.

This

is one of my favorite Sailor Moon reaction pics and I think about it every time something in my life gets marginally better. But it’s really fucking funny to remember that Usagi said this about her mom buying her a cat-shaped clock. Like she literally cries and thanks God because she has a novelty clock now. I love Usagi.

Come to me

Centuries from now, Ningguang isn't going to be remembered as a Tianquan with good economic policies.

She's going to be remembered as some kind of sorceress-Tianquan with a flying artillery fortress and powerful ritual magic who happened to have some pretty good economic policies.

If I remember correctly, Celestia isn’t involved in making Gods- that’s a natural process. All they did was bestow blessing and Gnosis- even with others like Venessa who rose to Celestia *instead* of becoming a god??? Or maybe she just lacked enough support from the people’s wishes.

Ningguang is such a great candidate to test this theory though.

seanan mcguire writing Feed in 2010: there was a presidential election, and a perfectly normal and reasonable human was running against the personification of evil

me in 2010: i dunno that seems like a caricature, surely that would never happen

me in 2024: uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I am the holder of the dodgeball.

before anything else goes according to plan

Nope. At this point, I have endured four years of the shittiest possible adaptation of my work; I am not putting the dodgeball down until I get my zombies.

Wait, is Feed the book you were researching when you kept calling the CDC to ask "if I did [x] would it make zombies?", and they kept saying 'no' until eventually you got the "...please don't do that" response?

Yup.

Every few months I say, "I wish I worked with watercolor more!" and then chicken out and don't. But the only way to make it less intimidating is to just do it...
