Okay, so I'm not going to lie, literal squeals of glee when I opened this file.

@ghostlycircaea, you are the best. I love this. I love them.

I present My Best Boys: Brasidas of Sparta, and the misthios Alexios with eagle companion Ikaros.

What other kinks or fetishes do you have?

in terms of kink i actually participate in mostly im a massive sadist tbh i love hitting and biting and flogging. im also a big fan of orgasm denial and hypnosis (if i can pull it off). but outside of that, tentacles and monsters and transformation in general are always good!

power dynamic inversion is also a big one, nothing hotter than humiliating and torturing someone in a position of power. in that vein RPG mechanics like attribute draining (int drain/theft especially) is hugely underrated.

butchfemme power dynamics with the butch as the sub is also so epic all femmes should be allowed to own their butches like the cute needy pets they are. <3

Kamui Woods: Sorry to interrupt! I just need to ask a quick question to one of your students if that's alright?

Aizawa, tired beyond giving a single shit: Go right ahead.

Kamui: Chargebolt, could you look at some pictures of wiring for me and tell me what's wrong with it?

Kaminari: Uh,,, sure?

Kamui: Great, here's the pictures

Kaminari: Oh, this doesn't look too bad

Kaminari: *scrolls to the next one*

Kaminari: Oh my GOD

Kamui: That bad?

Kaminari: WHY IS THERE A HOTDOG!? WHAT *IS* THIS! I- *deep sigh* *lays head on desk*

Kamui, after a few seconds: Uh, you okay, kid?

Kaminari: I- just- give me a minute, I just need a minute, I just, dear god, give me a second

Kamui, very concerned: Okay...😅😬

cloned noodles!

"Once thought to be extinct, black-footed ferrets are the only ferret native to North America, and are making a comeback, thanks to the tireless efforts of conservationists.

Captive breeding, habitat restoration, and wildlife reintegration have all played a major role in bringing populations into the hundreds after near total extinction.

But one other key development has been genetic cloning.

In April [2024], the United States Fish and Wildlife Service announced the cloning of two black-footed ferrets from preserved tissue samples, the second and third ferret clones in history, following the birth of the first clone in December 2020. 

Cloning is a tactic to preserve the health of species, as all living black-footed ferrets come from just seven wild-caught descendants.  This means their genetic diversity is extremely limited and opens them up to greater risks of disease and genetic abnormalities. 

Now, a new breakthrough has been made.

Antonia, a black-footed ferret cloned from the DNA of a ferret that lived in the 1980s has successfully birthed two healthy kits of her own: Sibert and Red Cloud.

These babies mark the first successful live births from a cloned endangered species — and is a milestone for the country’s ferret recovery program.

The kits are now three months old, and mother Antonia is helping to raise them — and expand their gene pool.

In fact, Antonia’s offspring have three times the genetic diversity of any other living ferrets that have come from the original seven ancestors.

Researchers believe that expanded genetic diversity could help grow the ferrets’ population and help prime them to recover from ongoing diseases that have been massively detrimental to the species, including sylvatic plague and canine distemper. 

“The successful breeding and subsequent birth of Antonia's kits marks a major milestone in endangered species conservation,” said Paul Marinari, senior curator at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute. 

“The many partners in the Black-footed Ferret Recovery Program continue their innovative and inspirational efforts to save this species and be a model for other conservation programs across the globe.”

Antonia actually gave birth to three kits, after mating with Urchin, a 3-year-old male ferret. One of the three kits passed away shortly after birth, but one male and one female are in good health and meeting developmental milestones, according to the Smithsonian.

Mom and babies will remain at the facility for further research, with no plans to release them into the wild.

According to the Colorado Sun, another cloned ferret, Noreen, is also a potential mom in the cloning-breeding program. The original cloned ferret, Elizabeth Ann, is doing well at the recovery program in Colorado, but does not have the capabilities to breed. 

Antonia, who was cloned using the DNA of a black-footed ferret named Willa, has now solidified Willa’s place as the eighth founding ancestor of all current living ferrets.

“By doing this, we’ve actually added an eighth founder,” said Tina Jackson, black-footed ferret recovery coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in an interview with the Colorado Sun. 

“And in some ways that may not sound like a lot, but in this genetic world, that is huge.”

Along with the USFWS and Smithsonian, conservation organization Revive & Restore has also enabled the use of biotechnologies in conservation practice. Co-founder and executive director Ryan Phelan is thrilled to welcome these two new kits to the black-footed ferret family.

“For the first time, we can definitively say that cloning contributed meaningful genetic variation back into a breeding population,” he said in a statement.

“As these kits move forward in the breeding program, the impact of this work will multiply, building a more robust and resilient population over time.”"

I’m an actor and I opened a play this weekend, I thought you might enjoy these actual notes I’ve received from my director throughout the process— I’ve never worked with anyone who’s known how to compliment me better

!!!! huge fan of your director (and congrats on your opening!)

[xxlady-lunaxx]

i think obanai doesn’t like his scar mostly from the memory of how he got it, not so much of how it looks? so if it was complimented from its physical appearance, he’d probably loathe it even more. like, it feels like laughter from his family and the demon. it feels like they’re having the time of their life, knowing full well that they gave him the scar so he’d look like the demon and someone calling it pretty or cool is a punch to the gut because it’s just saying that his pain is beautiful and how he got is is justified because it’s fucking ‘pretty.’ and he knows people don’t mean it like that, but his mind is so insistent that that’s what it truly means anyway. it just feels like the demon won again. his family won. after everything.
