My dogs an idiot

My parents live in this town and the city legally can’t tear the tree down to build or anything because the tree has its own legal rights and they can’t do anything about it.

how does. how does this happen. how DID this happen

I love this story because this guy in the early 1800’s had so many great childhood memories of this tree and wanted to make sure it was protected no matter what. So he deeded the ownership of the tree to itself and everyone just went with it.

Then in 1942 this intense windstorm came and knocked the tree over. And people were bummed. But someone had saved an acorn from the original tree, so they planted that and now Son of the Tree That Owns Itself is over 50 feet tall.

And since this new tree is technically the offspring of the original tree it’s considered to have legally inherited the plot of land it’s inhabiting.

Two generations of trees owning land is amazing and if you don’t think this is the coolest thing get right out of my face.

I too think this is amazing! This is GREAT! I love this tree

but

my brain has gone off the rails and I’m bringing all of you with me

I shall now bring forth an interesting moral and legal quandary!

If the Tree That Owns Itself owns everything within eight feet of itself, does that mean that if another tree grew within say six feet of the Tree, would the landowning tree own the new tree? Would this be slavery? Or would the Tree be considered a landlord?

in addition, since the Tree owns property, is it considered a sentient entity with full legal rights? If one of it’s branches broke off and damaged a nearby car or city bench, could it be sued? Could it be arrested?

If the Tree is considered a person, does that mean that the cutting down of similar species of trees is considered to be murder?

So since I apparently have followers now despite making one (1) post ever lol folks imma ghost imma poltergeist and theres no exorcising me now
anyways I have a question. So, I do ceramics, yes like pottery, yes like bowls and plates and stuff, yes like the glaze your own ceramic unicorn/moon/dragon stores except unlike those of you who’ve visited those stores after the age of 15 I am not a coward and make my own shit.
But ANYWAYS I made a pot that looks kind of like the one in the background of
THIS \/ photo

So I personally am not a person of color unless italian counts i think emphasis on think I have not studied my family history extensively.

but I was going to try making a lid for that pot that would be shaped and look like a cobra that had risen from a coil and was ready to strike. I was going to call it snake charmer.

BUT THEN I had the thought ‘is that name racist’ ‘ is that a stereotype?!’ ‘is the idea of a ”snake charmer” a negative stereotype’ ‘would this be super racist to name something’

so please help me out here I have no idea if i should

— a) scrap the lid idea and go with like an octopus or something

— b) try my best (very possibly will fail)

so tell me how you feel about the idea folks I don’t want to offend people I’ve got nothing against.

Will humanity ever be free of the influence of Edna Mode? Can any of us so much as consider the character design for a hero or villain without her manifesting in the room, fully aware of our sins?

You know what, another layer of difficulty is when you’re thinking about villains, and the wise words of Megamind come into your head. You don’t just want your child to be just a regular villain. But how do you make your villain a Supervillain with no cape? Where is the drama? But Edna says no capes, you must deny them the flair. It is impossible to please them both, and it’s tearing this family apart.

Counteroffer: Big dramatic cloak to protect your identity that you drop on the floor before every fight

I can’t believe the compromise is Obi-Wan Kenobi

“No capes!”

“Game on, then.”

Okay, but I love that Gandalf is just dropping his cloak to reveal another, slightly smaller cloak underneath it.

Gandalf is the jason Todd mask phenomenon

Imagine if in CA: CW instead of Bucky trying to break out of the cell and turning into the Winter Soldier when Zemo reads the trigger words he just starts singing really loud so he can't hear Zemo's voice anymore.

it’s all either

a) the RAUNCHIEST, DIRTIEST songs he could remember, both from pre-Hydra-capture

or

b) It’s Wellerman

AU where Harry says Fuck It with his entire childhood trauma filled chest, takes a fist full of gold to muggle London the summer after 4th year, gets his hands on a pistol, and then gives Dobby a call.

Imagine Voldemort chilling in Malfoy Manor when some house elf in 16 hats and 27 pairs of colorful socks rolls up with a .45 like "Mr. Harry Potter sir sends his regards."

EVERYBODY LOOK I DREW IT

Harry starts a mafia

Dobby is the enforcer

You know what I want in life?

More Skull from KHR

we already have the HP/KHR crossovers and the BAMF!Skull but we don’t have this;

Southern Skull

like American Southern,

give me the accent, the condescending compliments the subtle insults— and better yet, almost all of the Arcobaleno have no idea that he‘s being completely insincere and calling Reborn a b*tchy little hoe in between all those ‘Honey’s’ and ’darlin’s’ —

Right up until they find out the Carcassa is a branch of an American mob family (that Skull may or may not lead) and someone enlightens them that those flowers Skull gave them that They put in the vase in the dining room were basically telling the receiver to go fuck themselves and that Skull is apparently the most passive aggressive motherf*cker alive
