First Dinoël posting ! Those are illustrations i made for my first creator's market, centered around dinos and popular science ...

The Thylacine, or tasmanian tiger, is an extinct marsupial from Australia. For the frame, i was inspired by aboriginal art.

The Quagga was a species of zebra from South Africa.

>see post saying something shockingly bad happened but that also seems suspicious because its not really something that can be enforced on a large scale

>google it

>situation is so different it's the same as saying a lake is literally the pacific ocean because they're both water

do you ever wonder why stephanie meyer had the cullens live in a small town to preserve their “anonymity?” has she ever been to a small town??? small town people got nothing to do all day, other than to gossip and think about those weird people that live in the forest. if anything, they’re getting the opposite of anonymity. you want real anonymity? live in a big city. you could live next to someone for 5 years and never even learn their name. they’re up all night? they’re beautiful, looks like they had some crazy good plastic surgery? you never see them go outside? somehow hella fuckin rich? yeah. That’s LA

The toadstools grew in a perfect ring the width of a child’s hula hoop.

They were upside down and clinging to the ceiling like stalactites.

“I have concerns,” she said.

“So do I,” they said. “If I step under it, does it count as stepping into a fairy circle? I mean, if a plane flies over a fairy circle it doesn’t count as stepping into it, but do the same rules apply if you’re walking under a fairy circle?”

“Right.”

“Actually, what is the area of effect for a fairy circle? Is it like a sphere that has the same circumference of the circle, so if I just duck underneath it I’ll be fine? Or is it a cylinder? How far up does the cylinder go? Or down, in this case.”

“Right.”

“Some of the many mysteries of the fey we may wonder about forever.”

They continued to stare up at the ring of toadstools. Thoughtful seconds ticked by.

“See, my concerns are mostly about how much moisture you have in your room.”

“Sorry?”

“You have mushrooms growing out of your ceiling.”

“Oh.”

She patted their back with sympathetic pity. “I appreciate that you live in a world of whimsy and delight, and I don’t want to squash that because I love you, but I also really don’t want you to die of black mold.”

“She’s right, you know,” said the goblin sitting upside down in the circle.

Ghost pipes! Im lucky enough to live somewhere where I can stumble upon them on my walks in the woods. These are made from polymer clay and attached to urethane resin skulls made from my own molds. Each comes with a separate stand. skullery

Enough 'Lee from the tea shop' jokes in the fandom, I need more people considering 'Kuzon from school' jokes. Like the scenario is funny as hell. This kid shows up out of nowhere. Says he's from the colonies. Talks back to the teachers. He's super nice. The school bully tries to fight Kuzon and he effortlessly humiliates him. The school bully's girlfriend and a bunch of other girls like him and he doesn't even care. Kuzon then organizes an illegal party. He shows off some moves and teaches them how to dance. He dances with a very pretty girl they don't know. The school principal and some cops turn up to arrest him and bam, he's gone. All that in like, two days. I bet he became a legend in the school, so imagine if one day he sees one of the kids again and he's recognized and he's like 'Actually my name isn't Kuzon, I'm Avatar Aang 😄' and they're like 'damn Kuzon from the colonies is the Avatar?'

i hate how some people in the dating scene treat aspecs like these.. challenges to be conquered. "oh you're ace but like, you're one of the ones that still has sex right? one of the cool ones??" genuinely go fuck yourself. i wish just "nonsexual" was a common identity label instead sometimes because at this point it's like i have to fill in dots for my specific brand of ace, which is okay but like!! i don't want to fuck you. i'm never going to want to fuck you. not if you're nice to me, not if i love you, not for anything in the world. i want friends, and i want to hold hands, and sometimes i want hugs or maybe a headpat. a "lover" to me would just be a best friend that prefers those small intimacies. i'll still let you take me to dinner because free food is free food but if i see a little square come out of your wallet and it's NOT a parmesan cheese packet then i can and will throw you into New River Gorge

On this TDOR I implore people to examine your beliefs about transmasculine oppression, violence & death. To acknowledge how many tmasc ppl have had not only their ability to live as men taken away, but the very concept that they existed at all slowly stricken from historical record.

Transmasculine people have suffered from forced institutionalization, lobotomies, sterilization, arranged marriages & nonconsensual pregnancies while common record opts to categorize this all as “violence against women”. To be a true ally to transmasculine ppl you have to fight this erasure.

To fight this erasure we have to speak up when people say transmasculine ppl have not historically been “as oppressed”. You have to speak up when people repeat lies borne through erasure like “every known historical tmasc figure was well respected & lived a long happy life”. We all have to speak up. That’s the only way we correct the narrative and begin to trend toward a path where transmasculine life, history and death is sincerely acknowledged and treated with the dignity and visibility it deserves in the common record.

Listen, the world is very simple: all bad people have a Bad Person """illness""" (thats not an illness bc they just suck) that makes them inherently bad (and we're also gonna ignore how it's a legitimate illness from the psyche adapting to extreme trauma). All bad people have this.

Good people, like me, can never have this. I am very smart and good :)

Me: the world is cold and full of despair.. I'm so stressed about grad school applications that I'm about to vomit..

Me after having a fun little snack: oh okay! I'm good now.
