... "appearances"? 🤨
America is absolutely disconnected to meat
I think I realized this when I had went to see my dad and stepmom one day and asked if I could place my hawk’s food. (A rabbit leg) in the freezer. My step mom was disgusted by the idea that a leg from an animal was in the freezer meanwhile an entire chicken was sitting in the fridge.
Your rotisserie chicken is an entire chicken.
Your pork chop is a hunk of pig.
Your rack of ribs are from a cow’s rib cage.
It’s like Americans view meat as colorful red and pink hued shapes that just exist and come into the world packaged.
You see so many people getting harassed or even having their content flagged for showing how to process or field dress meat when it’s at it’s freshest. Right after culling. For some reason this is considered “gore” by many folks when in reality it’s no more different from plucking a processed chicken after cull.
You also notice that Americans have an idea of what’s normal meat and what isn’t normal meat and there’s racist undertones that I’ve noticed in a lot of these comments left on foreign cooking videos
You have people that claim a video of a man in a different country preparing something like this is “eating a dog.” Meanwhile this is roasted goat.
You have people who’s only perception of an edible fish is in fillet or fish stick form and they call something like this nasty because “Eww there’s a head!” Yeah.. most animals have heads..
Some of ya’ll need to realize what your meat looks like prior to processing and that it’s prepared in different ways. We also need to erase the stigma behind non traditional meats.
Truly, genuinely, as an indigenous person I talk about this exact thing a LOT! Like, don't get me wrong I get a bit squicked when dressing a chicken or gutting and cleaning a fish, lord knows I had really mixed feelings the first time I saw a deers throat slit (I thought it was cruel, until my elder asked me if I would have preferred to let it suffer instead) The truth of the matter is that animals and humans are intertwined. We are food to one another, that's the way of the world and I think people forget that when we champion for humane treatment of animals and when we rail against factory farming we need to remember that removing death is not the goal, removing undue suffering it.
[For April Fools events!] The human Storm approaches cautiously, holding his Pawmi. "If it's not too insensitive... I've never seen a Pokemon like you or your little one there before. I've seen Tandemaus before, but... You two are so different."
Matcha seemed nervous at the sudden appearance of a human.
“They won’t catch you,” Mochi said, as though sensing the hybrid’s distress. “I’ll make sure.”
Matcha nodded after a moment, and stood up straighter.
“We’re a hybrid. Eevee and Tandemaus,” they explained. “Hybrids aren’t really… common. Inaris is a Mew. Mochi said they’re shiny.”
“A hooman,” Inaris said very seriously.

(@ask-baby-arceus) ( Mama Cresselia @ Destino and Felix)
Mama: I’m sorry to interrupt, but may I ask what you two are arguing over? Perhaps there is some sort of compromise we could come to, cause you two just sitting around arguing will get you nowhere.
Felix: It would cause a lot of unnecessary damage and would send this universe on the edge of collapse. I'm lucky we were able ta stop ya.
Destino: And I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids. Perhaps you could all do me a solid and get it back for me.
Felix: It's sealed away. None of them could possibly do that. Only I can access it.
I forgot i had art lol!
Friend, @blues-sues, did a lil design Prompt that i glagly picked up!
Choose your starters, First - Secondary and Final, favorite Evolution stage and then try to make them a cohesive line. (choosing 1 main type to lean on!)
I choose Gen 5 on random chance, then chose Tepig, Dewott and Serperior as my favorite evolution stages editing them to make 1 line and ended with a Water/Dark type!
It was really fun to do and a chance to make them still recognizable as their original pokemon but also mask em in the sence of making this new line :3
