That post about villainous love made me think of your King Boo towards Bowser.

Thank you, that's what I was thinking too when I saw it cross my dash :)

This is your reminder to stretch before partaking in any strenuous activity! The best way to stay healthy and happy is to take steps to avoid being hurt in the first place. Stretching first may seem like a waste of time, but I promise it's much better to spend a few minutes stretching your legs before hunting than to spend a few days in the medicine den recovering from a pulled muscle!

I don't want to name any names, but I feel like we as a clan have an issue with delegation of labor when it comes to the care of our most vulnerable members. Watching the kits is all well and good, but as the only current queen in the nursery right now, I find myself doing so much repair work for the den walls all by myself. Nominally, our apprentices ought to be doing much of this work, but quite frankly, our 'paws simply don't have the necessary experience to fix the more delicate areas, and I have ended up redoing much of their work myself. This isn't to disparage our apprentices, they've been doing their best, but I have ideas as to how we might better address these issues as a clan.

Keep reading

#genuinely I think we could be doing this so much more efficiently #like I understand that the 'paws need the learning experience #but not at the cost of our kitten's warmth and safety #you know? #and that's not even mentioning the elder's den

The dawn patrol spotted bear tracks this morning just past the northeastern border, near the old hemlock tree. The tracks were old, and did not lead into Micaclan territory. Be that as it may, remember to remain on guard, and to travel in groups of 3 or more until it can be confirmed that the bear has not remained close by.

One thing I love about Clone Wars fanart is how much of it is just various characters napping on each other. We all took one look at them and decided that what they really need is snuggles and sleep.

[theofficialpresidentofmars]

I’d like to propose a performance of Hamlet in which the audience is addressed, looked at, and treated as if they were there but ONLY by characters who have gone mad.

in Act 2, when Hamlet’s pretending to go mad, while in the presence of Polonius and others, he sort of pretends to look at the audience, but always glancing over, looking sort of in the wrong direction, putting on a show for the only eyes he thinks are watching. When he’s alone and doing his soliloquies, it’s clear that he’s talking to himself, even though we’re listening in.

And it continues this way until Act 3 Scene 4, when Hamlet runs Polonius through with the sword. For a moment after the deed is done, there’s a shocked silence on the stage. As Hamlet goes to examine the body, he falters, slightly, as he becomes aware of just how many eyes are on him. And slowly; he looks at us, and through the rest of the scene his attention is torn between the audience and his mother, until the ghost appears (perhaps in the audience as well) and he’s… sort of put back on track. But from then on, all his soliloquies, asides, he begins to talk to us, in the audience.

And we notice the change, sure, but we don’t really get what it means, not until Ophelia goes mad, and while onstage she begins to give audience members flowers, to talk to them as the others call her crazy. And at that point most of us can make the connection.

From then until the play is over, Hamlet can’t fully ignore us. Every other character will, and does (besides maybe the gravediggers if you wanted to include anyone else), but we’re ever present in his sight. As he dies, we’re the ones he refers to when he says ‘you that look pale and tremble at this chance, that are but mutes or audience to this act’

The polecat is the most common domesticated ratter and companion animal in the eastern Inner Seaway lands.

Their wild ancestors are less solitary than most mustelids, though do not have particularly complex social structures. Females (usually related) will accumulate in groups of 2-10 individuals (up to 30 in exceptional cases of high prey availability), sharing a territory and den site. Males form their own territories, which will overlap heavily with those of females.

The social hierarchy of these groups is mostly based upon age, with the eldest individuals claiming the best den sites and access to resources and mates. Their social behavior includes allogrooming, sharing of dens, and occasional sharing of prey. Their social bonds are not strongly reinforced, however. They provide no mutual care for young (and dominant females are known to kill the young of low ranking females when prey is scarce), and colonies will readily divide and disperse when their population wholly outstrips prey availability. They often move over open terrain in loose groups as means of defense against predators, but do not hunt cooperatively. Their favored prey is rodents, but they will take birds, small lizards and snakes, and the occasional large insect. They will occasionally coordinate group attacks against large threats (particularly snakes, which threaten their pups within dens).

It is not clear where or when they were domesticated. They likely domesticated themselves in conjunction with early farming practices, preying on the rodents that were attracted to grain stores and gradually being accommodated to and appreciated by human farmers. Wild polecats that could ostensibly be their ancestors can be found on both sides of the Mouth of the seaway, and evidence of domesticated polecats stretches back to prehistory on both sides as well. This would suggest either separate domestication events, or an unrecorded crossing of the Mouth by boats and possible human settlement event during the neolithic period (as most human settlement east of the Inner Seaway occurred in the paleolithic and was a long, slow, roundabout dispersal over land).

Domesticated polecats are frequently kept around as ratters. They are not as efficient as cats over open terrain, but are fairly effective with their ability to fit into confined spaces in pursuit of prey. The domestication process has rendered them more inclined towards close socialization than their wild ancestors, and they readily bond with their owners and with other unrelated polecats. Feral colonies are most distinct from wild colonies in that they form tighter social bonds and practice extensive alloparenting, with mothers often allowing unrelated young in the same colony to suckle, and sometimes even adopting orphans. Feral polecats have interbred with and/or displaced wild ones in many parts of their range, and true wild polecats are increasingly rare.

The Burri deity Tingari is the goddess of granaries, and she is often depicted as a polecat, or with one in each hand. Polecat figurines are placed in granaries to confer the goddess' protection from rodents, insects, rot and disease. This practice has been naturalized in many places formerly colonized by Imperial Bur, though often as a general ward against grain pestilence or integrated into native religious conventions rather than as representations of the Burri god.

Not to be Like That but I seriously don't like how P5 vanilla will try and tell me that Ryuji is bad and annoying for being a traumatized teenager wanting positive attention from the people around him and reacting negatively to bullying and then turn around and act like Akechi gets a pass for all the people he murdered because uhhh... reasons

ok vague kind of thing i have pondered for a bit and might bring somre more Fantasticalness to pareidolia but yes. Weird shroom. more attempt at... clarification under the cut maybe cuz i feel this is kind of... wishy wooshy LOL

many nonhumans in pareidolia have adapted to use anda to fuel certain abilities. anda is a form of energy which usually drives sapience and perception/visual interpratation, but can also do more if paired with other forms of energy etc. for example lindwurms can communicate telepathically using certain low frequency vibrations paired with anda resonance. yes its a bit whimsy in how that works but yea.

so i imagine actually the glow is both a regular real glow, but the nature of that glow is amplified in these shrooms because of the fact that they produce anda with that heat/light.

But essentially ill pull an example here. so crakam have this visual illusion ability that naturally and unconsciously befalls upon a certain radius of a crakam settlement, because all crakam (like all sentient animals) radiate some anda. they just radiate a bit more of it than many other animals, and when they are all together this contributes to an illusion which shrouds them to a certain radius for anyone who isnt "read" by the anda as part of the "flock".

a drawback here is that the radius of the illusion risks shrinking if one individual/a few go too far away, because the strength of the illusion depends on how many are present. and also like just generally the area of the illusion would remain pretty small around the settlement.

with wisplight however, crakam have created a type of "vessels" which hold concentrated wisplight "blooms", which they connect to a central large wisplight vessel in the middle of the settlement. these vessels exude large amounts of anda, and because they are fed with feathers from the flock, they "read" to the collective illusion as "flock members", and extend the radius that way.

this has also been done with haeggir (tomte) area illusions, which can obscure large areas by confusing any people who have not been "allowed" into that particular illusion by fucking with their perception and tricking them into walking somewhere else (basically, if there is a straight forest path youre walking, it makes you visually see things as if you are walking that path, when its actually making you walk around it)

idk if any of this yapping makes any sense this is very weird and esoteric. the magic in this world is very weird and esoteric. but essentially this is a kind of energy system that the tomtar pioneered into forms of tech...

I've got faeries on the brain so I'm back to gently poke you to see if you feel like rambling about your fae sona I'm curious

my sona is kinda like- a mishmash of stuff that means a lot to me- he doesnt have much of a backstory other than being very old and very tired and living in cold northern forests just out of reach of man and keeps an eye on these areas. that isnt to say that they dont like humans or dont find them fascinating. they like watching them and learning about them. they just like being able to have their distance. while theyre pretty worn out, they still have their silly moments as all fae do. (they would very much like to have arthur around to stare at/talk to)

theyre very much inspired by things that are important to me- i love the winter and snow and ice and thats obvious in their design with their frost covered skin and hair and their icy antlers. their antlers radiate a soft cool light. the antlers are obvious in reference to my love for deer but they also have claws and fangs and a lion-like tail and catlike eyes because i really like cats of all types fhsjkdhkjhsd sometimes they have large bird wings i guess hes just kind of my idealized self.
