Happy Birthday Hide. Sorry.

ok my two cents: i like them an alright amount, the bald head doesn't bother me so much really, but there are some criticisms

- they could've been a modern; nothing about their design pushes boundaries enough to warrant being an ancient. personally, i'm thoroughly sick of all breeds having wings. what i really wanted from an earth ancient was a big chunky spikey creature with no wings at all

- we have once again been cursed with the snub-nosed face. stop that

- there are a handful of genes that feel like they belong on this breed but they're not: pymorph, boulder/myrid, chryso/malachite, no glimmer again, where are shardflank and scorpion, veined, idk just feels like missed opportunities. i will hope for an expansion at some point (and that like um all of their prim/sec combos are ported to moderns thank you very much)

- with the delay in the lore why not just delay the entire breed? as others have said, we really don't need new breeds every three to four months. it's overwhelming. take your time. every other update doesn't need to be massive. and i can appreciate that we had years of no breeds at all, but this isn't how to make up for that

idk guys, i simply don't get excited for ancients anymore because they never do Enough with the freedom of design they're allowed to have. i will continue to beg for fire ancients that have the same vents as flamecaller where the fire is the secondary, for earth ancients with big spines and plates that are the secondary, for overgrown nature ancients with flora as the secondary. please be weirder with them thank you

I still want to redo this set with Amon's ears proper, but since the graphics update I can't recreate Viola's expressions exactly so please behold her here (⸝⸝⸝• ω •⸝⸝⸝)

I don't want to kill them, I just want them to suffer all the pains and indignities that they put me through over the years.

Is that too much to ask?

Sometimes I think a lot about my mom's cat

My mom's cat is a common domestic shorthair we found on the side of the road as a kitten

Regular cat, not a maine coon or one of those massive breeds. His mom was smaller than a loaf of bread

But in a sort of a Clifford The Big Red Dog situation, he grew super fast, and really really big, and took a super long time to stop growing

Worried that she was overfeeding him, she eased back his portions, but he stayed a massive round baby

When he started having kidney problems, she took him to the vet.

The vet took a look at him and said, "holy fuck, what are you feeding him", checked the nutritional listings on his chow, and told her "Yeah, maybe he's reacting badly to the amount of grain in this, try a meatier diet"

So my mom wound up special-ordering this specific high-protein prescription cat food made of like. Kangaroo meat or some shit that cost like sixty bucks a bag

And, as typical act two in an episode of House, he somehow got worse on the fancy specialized stuff that was supposed to be Primo Athlete Olympic Feline Blend

Like. WAY worse. His guts were inflamed and his kidneys were shutting down and he was all sore and HE WAS STILL HUGE, just miserable and sad

So shetook him back to the vet, where they had to help him pee (he was apparently close to bursting and had some kind of blockage too) and went "Yeah no this is NOT normal and we don't know what's going on, we're gonna do some tests but in the meantime you should go back to what he was eating before, at least that wasn't actively killing him" so she did

And he still wasn't great, but he also improved

And so they take his blood and do an ultrasound and a couple g's later she gets a call back like "this is gonna sound crazy, but we want you to put him on a low-meat diet. Just the least amount of protein and iron and shit. We need you to find the grainiest, filler-iest dollar tree kibble available and give him some of that bad bad shit"

And my mother is a woman of science. So she did

And he GOT BETTER

His energy picked back up, inflammation went down, he started drinking normally again, got back to pissing like a fuckin champion

And so it turns out that out of all the random ass freeway bonus cats we possibly could have scooped out of a ditch, WE got the one-in-a-million freak of nature with a SPECIFIC genetic defect that means a paleo protein free range diet is essentially poison and he THRIVES on cheap ass garbage

Like. He medically NEEDS junk food

I dont really understand how that works, but i cant argue with results.

If we had four of him, they'd outweigh my mom. And he's FINE

Also blind, but that's unrelated

Im not using him as a symbol or a metaphor or anything. I just keep catching myself thinking about my mom's Big Fucking Cat
