Lykoi the werewolf cat breed

So I’m not going to be arguing because I’ve seen enough from enough owners over the years to have reached this conclusion, and I’m not in well enough health to come back to this. But I’m seeing the lykoi breed get more attention around tumblr lately, and I’ve gotta speak up because the breed has a dirty little secret.

I joined the Lykoi Lovers group years ago because I loved this breed, they’re super cute! I love werewolves! However, over the years, as more people got these cats, and their cats aged up (3-5+yo is when skin issues become REALLY evident) the group turned into a horror show.

This mutation really reminds me of lemon frost in leopard geckos. In the geckos, it was the desirable appearance which CAUSED the cancerous tumors. It wasn’t something that could be bred out. Similarly, it is the werewolf appearance which causes the skin issues, cysts, pimples, bleeding in the cats. You can breed away from it... and end up with a normal looking cat with fewer skin issues. You cannot seem to keep the werewolf look AND have good skin.

More below, and it IS graphic so be warned. Pus, blood, sad cats under the cut.

Let’s start with "what to know before getting a Lykoi”

Okay, inevitably bumpy? What’s that mean exactly?

“The gene that is specific to Lykoi that creates the semi hairless and roaning look is thought to be responsible for less hair follicles and possibly smaller pores. This in turn could be responsible for the cyst/pimple issue. So, it's not going to be in Sphinx or any other breed, it's specific to Lykoi. Responsible breeders are currently working on breaking away from some of the older lines with bad skin and breed Lykoi that have no or less bumps. However what happens when you breed for more coat and better skin is that it seems to lessen the look of the Lykoi. Many of the heavier coated Lykoi without skin issues lack a mask or have a very slight one.“

^^^This is pretty damning as far as the future of the breed goes. Well bred ones will not look like werewolf cats.

Okay, but that’s just a couple cats, and just one cyst. That’s not so bad---

“They definitely bother me more than her.” You sure about that?? Look at her...

Okay but that’s just a FEW cats, how bad could it b--

Again, this issue typically appears after the cat is 3-5 years old, so people buy their little werewolf cats unwise to the fact it’ll live with painful skin problems for the majority of its life.

It is the very mutation which reduces follicle count and pore size which causes the werewolf appearance and the blackheads and cysts, so I think “breeding it out” is nothing but a pipe dream. The mutation itself is what causes the problems, as mentioned earlier just like lemon frost leopard geckos.

Anyway, this has been a PSA.

for anyone who needs to hear this: you don’t have to like being eaten out!

if it doesn’t feel right, doesn’t give you the pleasure you seek, hurts, gives you anxiety, gives you panic attacks, has trauma and deep rooted feelings behind the act, you don’t have to do it. don’t ever feel pressured to be eaten out, and don’t ever feel like you can’t express your dislike of it. sex of all kinds is meant to be enjoyed and not feared or stressed about ~

please don't mistake silence for hatred. please don't mistake unanswered plotting messages as indifference, or a lack of enthusiasm towards you. considering the ages of most roleplayers, many of us have bills to pay, families to take care of, medical conditions to treat, appointments to make, classes to take, homes to clean, and lives to live away from the computer that are far, far more important than writing on tumblr — life has a tendency to get in the way of hobbies and fun things like this. be patient with your fellow writers. if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. of course you can set your boundaries, keep your space comfortable, and softblock whoever you wish, but do so while recognizing it's probably not hatred or apathy that keeps them from leaping into your dms with message after message. they probably love this hobby just as much as you... but sometimes life gets in the way.

PSA to those interested in DPxDC Crossover Content

Reminder that, as per the Danny Phantom x DC discord stated rules, the official tag that the crossover fandom operates under is DPxDC with NO spaces. This is because Tumblr filters do a bad job when it comes to spaces and often get confused.

If you wish to participate in the dpxdc fandom, please tag all your content accordingly, and DPxDC server mods have advised people to avoid using the DC tag and the Danny Phantom tag. This is because the dpxdc fandom entirely overpowers the danny phantom fandom in sheer numbers alone, and it is in fact so big with so much lore that it's really a separate entity from both DP and DC. And tagging properly reduces unwanted flooding to the separate fandoms.

If you have any questions, please refer to this awesome tagging guide made by @ectoentity about the dpxdc fandom and tags. And as mentioned previously, there is a huge DPxDC discord server you can join if you're interested. You can DM the mod-operated blog for an invite: @batpham-discord-highlights (all the mods for this server are awesome, real tea)

have fun!

So... Kan is getting away with murder...

so... if there's anyone who wants to get off this boat before you watch a morally corrupted ML gets his ass scot free in the finale of Spare Me Your Mercy, i suggest you run now 🤣

Screenwriter Lux: The KCl will decomposed because it's being injected while Boss is being given an IV drip and therefore the KCl cannot be detected in his autopsy. There are also no injection marks because Kan injected KCl through the IV drip. As for shooting Boss, it'll be in self-defense since he was shot first, combined with the fact that Boss's crimes were kidnapping Orn and other murders he's admitted to. Dr. Kan will definitely get off the hook. As for Doctor Rin's claims, she's just 'making these up' and there are no substantial evidence to accuse Kan of aiming at Boss' neck. The doctor might have just randomly shot and hit him.

the fact that they made it illegal to make ads louder than programs on tv in 2010 but haven't updated it to apply the same regulation to streaming. who do i have to call.

[hypokeimena]

a thing i regularly forget is that the popular imagination of a eunuch is basically total ablation. which was very common in specific geographic locations / practices of castration (specifically chinese and islamic ones, as i understand it) but was typically not the kind of castration common to the historic mediterranean (<- biblical context, greco-roman context) up into early modern europe (renaissance/late medieval/what most ppl are talking abt or imagining in sort of fantasy universes also). statistically they still had dicks and many even still had testicles. just your fun eunuch PSA for today.

According to MEEEEEEEEE

[knickknacksandallthat]

I don't know if I've seen this said yet, and maybe no one else other than me is thinking it, but here goes:

I can't wait to read Nora's The Sunshine Court. TSC is a lovely gift from an author ten years later, and she has every right to do with her characters as she wishes. They are hers, and we'll be lucky to see her vision of the characters she created a decade ago.

But it's also true that we have ten years of fandom making up for lost time. Ten years of running with the tiniest crumbs of canon to weave tales and art of Jean Moreau, Jeremy Knox, and the Trojans. So regardless if Nora makes Jerejean frenemies, platonic, romantic, or other - please don't remove your works just because they don't fit canon anymore.

There are tons of lovely fics, art pieces, podcasts and more out there about the romantic entanglements of Jerejean, Kevjean, Keremy, Kerejean, Laila/Dermott and more. There are multiple stories of growth and friendship and healing between Jean and Jeremy. Of reconciliation and forgiveness and discovery between Jean and Kevin. Of angst and loss and bittersweet dissonance between Kevin and Jean. Of found family and freedom and coming together despite your differences between Jean and the Trojans.

They are still good, they are still worthy, and they are still someone's favorite. Don't squash your creativity or become ashamed if your take on Jean, Jeremy, or the Trojans was different than what Nora pictured. You explored and created something wonderful in a time when there was no canon to follow. You should be proud of what you wrote (or drew or recorded). Just remember there were tons of folks out there that enjoyed them right along with you and would be greatly disappointed if you removed them just because you thought no one would appreciate them anymore.

Much love, AFTG fans ��️ Let's all enjoy what Nora and TSC has to offer while still supporting each other. Promise we can do both 😉

Hallmark Exes FAQ!

in light of part 2 being out soon, I’ll be making a little separate FAQ post about them for some backstory info and so i don’t have to keep answering the same questions lol—so send in any questions you have and I’ll answer them in the FAQ!

before getting into the questions, however, I want to clarify something.

Levi and Xavier are my characters. this is my story. while it was prompted by another post—and I encourage everyone who wants to to write their own versions of the prompt!!—it is not a collaborative project. I’ve had multiple separate issues with people wanting to write their own part 2s, and while I really do appreciate that the story resonated so much and inspired people enough to want to add to it, actually doing so and posting it is rude, disrespectful, and a shitty thing to do.

to be clear, I’m not mad at or trying to target any of these people. I know there were no malicious intentions behind it, but my feelings about it remain the same.

I’m not a published author. nobody knows Levi and Xavier are my characters. if someone were to stumble across the original piece and a part 2 someone added without my consent, they’d have no way to know that that’s not canon. any additional info that person decides to include in their writing muddies the waters when I inevitably contradict it, because Levi and Xavier’s story is so much more fleshed out in my head than what I’ve shared on tumblr.

so I guess please just keep that in mind. please don’t hijack my story. it feels weird that I have to say this in the first place, but here we are.

and if you’re about to say something like “but jester, it’s a compliment, it's not that big of a deal! besides, it’s just a tumblr story, it’s not that serious!” I just want to say this: when a writer posts the first chapter of their book or fic on tumblr or ao3 or wattpad or wherever else, do you decide to take it upon yourself to write chapter 2 and post it as if that’s the continuation of the story? no, you wouldn’t, because that’s rude as fuck. this isn’t any different.

ANYWAY. thanks for reading, sorry for the serious post about my silly goofy gay story, don’t forget about any questions you may have :)

Bro how have the Tumblr pornbots evolved to the state of posting ship art with realistic captions

Like I see some poolverine art in the poolverine tag with the caption "just got back from the movie and had to draw them," I give it a like, I see a "see more" link that looks completely normal (and half the time I'm not paying close attention and think it's for the tags), I click it, and I'm taken to a third party website showing me tiddies and asking if I'm interested in hot singles in my area. What the actual fuck

[mcflymemes]

don't apologize for reblogging memes when you've got memes sitting in your inbox. sometimes you just need a refresh! sometimes the ones you've got in your inbox aren't sparking any joy or any ideas! it's okay to reblog a new one! there's no time limit on memes. there are no requirements. this isn't a job where you have to answer five memes before you reblog a new list - reblog what you like, have fun, and make sure to send your mutuals some memes, too!!

*disclaimer : this is not directed at anyone in particular, so please do not get up in arms about it. Thank you!

tldr: as we are now in a new year, it is important to remember that censorship of art, (of any kind) is incredibly damaging to fandom spaces. So, here are a few gentle reminders and helpful tips to remember when interacting in fandom!

Things you should not do in fandom spaces

not everything is written/created for you, and that’s okay!

If you find something that a writer or artist has created/written to be personally offensive, off putting, triggering, etc, please keep those feelings to yourself.

Do not leave hateful comments of any kind on a writer/artists work

Do not tell a writer/artist that they are romanticizing triggering/dark themes

The anon button is a wonderful feature, don’t abuse it

Do not hound writers to update their works or complain that they’re taking too long to update. We all have lives outside of fandom, so please have some grace

Just because you believe that a canon character has been written OOC, does not mean that the way the writer has chosen to write that character is wrong.

do not plagiarize or feed writers works into Ai or chat GPT

Things you should do in fandom spaces

reblog. reblog. reblog. reblog

leave kind comments on writers/artists works

provide helpful critique/constructive criticism only if the writer/artists asks for it

reach out to your favorite writers/artists

make friends

remember that you do not need to create to be apart of fandom! Fandom is for everyone 🫶🏻

Wrapping this up: fictional characters cannot harm you. What is harmful is censorship and morality police in fandom (especially in fanfiction) while it is entirely okay to personally not like something you read, do not shame someone for what they choose to write/create. Move on, block, touch some grass, etc.

Here’s to another year of sharing and creating art <3

[milkbreadtoast]

sharing this here too.... Got up to ep 47 in the my s class hunters webtoon and asked a korean friend about Sung Hyunje's way of speaking bc i noticed he seemed to talk like an old man..... MFNSMDBSNN THIS IS AMAZING 😭😭🤭

edit: apparently there's a lore reason he talks like that that neither of us knew at the time... i appreciate everyone who's holding back from telling me what it is🫡

just to be thorough i asked about -군(-gun) too which is how SHJ calls HYJ (han yoojin-gun) (in ep 46-47 at least) (i believe the jp equivalent is -kun, which more ppl r prob familiar w)

💌 hi everyone, just letting you know i’m going to take a mini break from tumblr over the next few days. some stuff has come up in my personal life and i need to prioritise my mental health right now. i don’t think i’ll be gone long, because let’s face it - this is my comfort space and i love getting to flail about milex with all of you, but i just need some space for myself as i recalibrate and get back on track. so to anyone who’s messaged me or left me asks/comments on my fics - if i don’t reply, i promise i’m not ignoring you and i’ll get respond very soon! i’ll be back properly with humbug gifsets and general flailing before you know it (and hopefully with a new chapter of four walls too 👀) lots of love, see you all soon 💌

whenever I read a marauders fanfic I just assume Regulus is trans until proven otherwise, and even then sometimes I just ignore it.
