⚔️Shout Out To The Muses That Are UNAPOLOGETIC About Being Assholes, Antagonistic Pricks, and  Generally Bad People™ ⚔️

Stories need conflict to thrive. The Roleplay Community benefits from having muns that play antagonistic characters. Characters that not all others muses will like and get along with. Muses who do fucked up shit and love it. It can be lonely playing a character that everyone wants to treat like a punching bag, or wants to walk over, or ignore.

Reblog if your blog APPRECIATES, SUPPORTS, and RESPECTS Villains and antagonistic muses!!

Hey are hunters actually important for the eco system or is that just something they made up because they think its fun to shoot animals?

I could write a thesis on this, anon. I’ve taken entire courses on the history of hunting. I’ve written papers on it and read books on it. What I’m saying is, I’m not going to answer this question to my satisfaction here tonight on tumblr dot com.

The truth is yes, human hunters are vital to many ecosystems now, because we unfortunately eliminated so many of the apex predators who used to do the job.

The deer populations in some places, as one example, are outrageous. Would I like to see wolves and mountain lions back in West Virginia, taking care of that? God yes. More than most I know.

But more than an ecosystem service, hunting is, and always has been, important to humans as well, and it can be done sustainably and ethically.

I’m a hunter. I wasn’t before I started college. Then I began to learn about the role of hunting in conservation, in the economy, in food security, in spirituality, in cultural identities, and it became something I’m enthusiastic about.

Hunting isn’t just about taking an animal. In fact, you’ll easily find hunters who talk often about having the perfect shot and deciding not to take it, because they didn’t feel the need to in the end.

You’ll also find that, if there’s a hunter who genuinely enjoys the killing aspect, enjoys that they’re causing harm…….nobody really wants to go out with them. Because uh, that’s Not Right.

Anyway, hunting is extremely important to many communities for many reasons. That’s why it’s important that hunting rights for Indigenous people are protected.

In my region, hunters donate deer to food-insecure families. A deer could feed someone for an entire winter. It’s a big deal.

Humans have always hunted, and it’s always been about more than thinking it’s fun to shoot animals. People can disagree with me on this, but I challenge them to actually read, to think critically about the topic.

I’ll be honest, I do believe that in hunting for my own meat, I am more aware of and informed about the ecosystem and nature than anyone who judges me for being a hunter and then buys their meat or veggies from stores stocked by industrialized farms.

Anyway, I’ll leave ya with this piece I really liked from one of my hunting textbooks last year. Thanks for the ask!

things got a little heated in the gc today

being a self-taught artist with no formal training is having done art seriously since you were a young teenager and only finding out that you’re supposed to do warm up sketches every time you’re about to work on serious art when you’re fuckin twenty-five

Okay I know we always go on about Marvel’s uncanny casting ability. 

But if you thought they were the only ones, let me draw your attention to this man:

Viggo Mortensen, aka Aragorn son of Arathorn, aka Sexiest Ranger in Middle Earth

would hike, often for more than a day, to remote filming locations, in costume, for the sake of authenticity

was the best swordsman Bob Anderson (swordsmaster/instructor for LotR, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc) says he has ever trained

occasionally writes poetry (more book!canon than film!canon but um hello)

does all his own stunts

lived all over and speaks about 23940209384 languages

you know that scene at the end of Fellowship when he’s fighting the Uruk-hai? And one throws a dagger at him and he hits it away with his sword? Yeah, the guy who threw it was supposed to miss, but accidentally threw it directly at Viggo. Who just casually Aragorned and hit it away. 

They actually cast Aragorn to play Aragorn

I lost my father to Pokemon Go and I regret so many life decisions. I’m the one who told him about the game. I’m the one who initially encouraged him. What have I done?

Now he starts every phone call with a Pokemon update. He gets all the names wrong and asks me what a Dragonite is called every time he brings up the “fat fighting orange dragon”

It’s gotten so bad he’s started watching the anime on Netflix. Help.
