The Fox Fairy/Spirit has a lot of variations throughout East Asia. I chose to base mine off the Huli Jing, and Tang dynasty dress. The shapeshifting, predominately female nine tailed fox also takes the form of a Kistune in Japan and Kumiho in Korea.

One of my favourite interpretations of this being is Good Hunting, the short story by Ken Liu (though not the Love, Death, and Robots inspired short animation! :( )

Original art by me! More phenakistoscopes on my page.

On my local weather channel theres this small 20 somethings guy who does the minor weather and my family is so enchanted by him. He wears the most egregious suits and ties that make my grandparents go off the rails. Sometimes he blends in with the green screen and my grandparents go farther off the rails. My entire family calls him "sheldon" because any skinny white geeky guy is Sheldon Cooper to them. There is currently a huge tornado on the way and they sent Sheldon to go check it out. Sheldon sounds like he's crying in the middle of this horrible rain and my grandparents are so upset about it. Sheldon could die out there. Why did they have to sacrifice him? Sacrificing their young. My grandmother has started a grudge against the main weather man for abusing poor poor Sheldon. I will update if Sheldon survives.

Just learned sheldon goes to my parents church and his name actually is sheldon. What.

World's most accurately named man

i have suffered less than christ but have complained way more abt it

Federal election in six days guys. Time to actually look up the sixteen billion tiny parties and figure out which ones are white power christofascists employed by billionaire mining magnates and which ones aren't.

Is it true Australians are required to vote by law and you get penalized if you dont turn in a ballot?

Yeah it's like $20 federally and $50 for local seats, but we get time to vote soooooooo

So they have to track it by name or (do Australians have something like a social security number). Does that mean your votes are not secret?

They have a huge book at the polling place and when you show up, you tell them who you are and they tick your name off. Then they give you the ballot slip and you go into the booth and your vote is private. You don't have to write on the slip, you can still choose to "not vote" by putting it in the box blank; this is considered a valid choice and even if it wasn't there's no way to stop it because votes are, obviously, anonymous. But you have to actually fucking show up.

This is fascinating - I haven't really thought about how voting in other countries is run, just other states (us american here). Do they allow mail in voting? What if someone can't go to the polls?

It's important to note that as a consequence of mandatory voting, it is incredibly easy to vote in Australia. It's also incredibly easy to register to vote. They want it to be as easy as possible, to encourage everyone to do their civic duty and actually vote. It's why it horrifies me so much to read about voter suppression elsewhere, because until studying world politics it literally did not occur to me that it could be intentionally made difficult just to prevent a certain kind of person from exercising their right to vote. Because it is a right, a hard-won right for so many people, (namely, not white men,) that even people who chose not to vote kind of disgust me. Intentionally preventing people from voting by making it that much harder to access? Evil.

oh shit these are your books? I literally just finished reading them. and I didn’t even know it was blorbo from my dash.

lol now you can read my books AND watch me eat mayonnaise out of a jar

Your last name isn't pescetarian? Derin you've LIED TO US?

This is gonna blow your mind but my last name isn't Edala either

Derinnnnnn

How could you do this to usssss

We trusted youuuu 😭😭😭😭

When has anything I ever wrote given you the impression that trusting me is a good idea

Are you even named derin? What is real? Is australia also made up? WHAT DID YOU DO "DERIN"?

If that is your real name

It's not

let's make a "the [noun] of [noun] and [noun]" fantasy book title!

ooookay show of hands: How many of y'all are currently being controlled by the zombie ant spores.

i used to have a running gag on twitter where i would tweet "i'm going to draw a horse" and then proceeded to draw a horse. here is a compilation

context for boghorse:

i would never lie to you

@elodieunderglass Have you (and/or Killie) seen these horses?

I adore them! And I think Killie would snottily say he didn’t like fantasy monsters and things (they’re not even REAL: why PRETEND?) and then would be absolutely transfixed by these, and rusty nasty gears would start turning in his mind with the most awful noise. Some ancient bit of ⚙️ starts sparking. Yeah he reckons he gets it

i don't see why killie would have any issue with these completely normal Horses!

Well it’s just that they’re not thoroughbreds… but ⚙️ ⚙️ ⚙️…. Actually there’s a lot to be said for native breeds.

why would you ever outsource fun to chatgpt? are you stupid? you can make mediocre shit by yourself too.

you're missing out on all the crazy euphoric moments where you execute an idea flawlessly, sending it to your friends and feeling the genuine happiness at their reactions to something you made authentically. you're robbing yourself of something beautiful.

and I get it, writers block, artists block, depression can really be terrible, but once you break out of it (and you will) it will feel like climbing Mount Everest.

peace and love on planet earth! you are saving the environment AND you’re cool!

Hey bitches. Let’s fuck Monday hard

Hey bitches. Let’s fuck Tuesday hard

Celibacy Wednesday

Hey bitches. Let’s fuck Thursday hard

I thought the visuals to the conclave movie were so striking but then you see the real thing and it all makes sense

"the western narratives around opponents of western hegemony are often biased and distorted and not actually reflective of reality and shouldn't be taken uncritically"

yes absolutely

"so the best way to counteract those biased narratives is to uncritically believe whatever the counternarrative is"

no, you don't actually have to do that

I love that the ibuprofen knows where to go
