nah I 100% stan you for emotionally intelligent Joel! I’m sick of immature and emotional constipated men.

Joel might be harsh and cold in canon (at the beginning) but you can’t tell me he’s not emotionally intelligent and sensitive.

yessss hunni bun! Stop Letting Men Get Away With Shit 2k24 (a helluva hill to die on)

Important to remember canon-wise that there are very good reasons for Joel to be cold, harsh, and emotionally constipated. I mean... don't put me in an apocalypse, I'll be useless. BUT THE MANS HAS THE FEELS, KNOWS THE FEELS. Just has to get back to the feels.

Honestly, writing The One You Need has been super cathartic for me, because creating a man that has the capacity to understand and process his entire emotional spectrum is ✨peak✨ sexy

My sister and I loved The Future is Wild which was yet another lie perpetrated upon children

What was the point in animal planet airing those incredibly convincing fake documentaries about dragons and mermaids

i'm never sure how to desribe daerhovan's particular nature boy aesthetic. he's not a disney princess nor like a dnd druid. he's more like, if you combined david attenborough and john muir (with a smidgen of jeff corwin) into one person. if a scientist had infinite income to do his research. if a park ranger was a cryptid. if a person was rich and immortal enough to be a biologist, zoologist, botanist, and naturalist all in one with a hobby interest in archaeology.

How do you think people in Tamriel brush their teeth? Or if they just clean them with a pick or something?

I have a personal head canon for Tamriel dental care is in Tamriel.

It was years ago where I saw a documentary for Jeff Corwin that went over how certain tribes used the ends of fresh tree branches to brush their teeth with a paste.

I'd like to imagine hunters who worry about their hygiene does the same time out in the wilderness. Or Alchemists have come up with a polish for teeth, probably not the best tasting but something to get by.

Maybe there is a brush meant for teeth similar to our own toothbrushes, or even just using a cloth in place for one.

Are you married? No.

What was the best date you've ever been on? A double-date to an arcade.

Do you feel free to post how you feel on Facebook? I very rarely post about my personal life because I feel like no one cares and I'm just being annoying. I just share memes n shit.

Do you prefer to play chess or checkers? Checkers, idk how to play chess.

If you had to go an entire week without using any technology, what do you think you would spend most of your time doing instead? Reading, sleeping, writing, drawing. I'd be miserable, though.

Would you rather travel to Asia or France? Somewhere in Asia.

Did you have a New Year’s kiss? No, we weren't in each other's presence that night. You'd be hard-pressed to find a night I stay up 'til midnight anyway.

Are there any words that you cannot pronounce or that you pronounce incorrectly? I say "breakfast" funny. I put a "t" after the "k" and I can't fix it.

How much older than you was the oldest person you have dated/had a relationship with? Juan was somewhere around five years older than me, give or take a year. It was problematic though because of my age.

Do you live on your own or with your parents/a roommate? Do you think you’d like to live alone? I still live with my mother. I NEVER want to live alone, I would be FUCK-ING miserable. My depression and isolatory behaviors would eat me alive.

How often would you say you use Microsoft Word? Never, I use WordPad. You have to pay for Microsoft Word.

After doing your laundry do you leave it in your basket for a couple days, then put it away? Ugh it can stay in the basket for days upon days upon days.

When you do a puzzle do you find all the edges first? Of course, unless I incidentally find a match of interior pieces.

When you’re in the car and you eat something with a wrapper, do you throw the wrapper out of the window? Do this and I wish you death

List 5 things that have happened in the last 7 days. (They can be anything at all, anything that’s happened involving you, or your family, friends, partner.) 1.)

Is there anyone that likes you, other than the person you love/like/are with? I doubt it.

Who is the 9th contact in your phone? Have you ever hugged/kissed that person? That's my little sister, I've certainly hugged her and maybe kissed her cheek when we were younger.

How did you feel when you woke up today? What was the first thing you thought about? I was annoyed, the kids came in being loud and I hadn't slept very well. Pretty sure I cursed lmao.

Do you still tell your parents that you love them? Of course.

Random fact about the person you love/like? He's back in college for business management-type stuff. I always forget the exact name of his major. He's VERY nearly done, he just had to drop out when his dad died.

ooh ooh how about underrated animals team also (however you interpret that)

hell yeah hell yeah hell yeah

had a little bit of a hard time narrowing it down, so i also have some honorable mentions

okay so the thing is it had to be underrated animals but still pokemon that i liked. lol so while there are a lot of underrated ones, i also don't love those pokemon 😬 so these are the ones i actually like!

before i get to my reasoning, i think i'd be a bonus trainer in a like. battle competition, not at a gym. and i honestly think it'd be a double battle. no idea how to make this competitively viable, though. lol but my gimmick as a bonus trainer (not gym leader) would be like. a jeff corwin/steve irwin wannabe. lol

ANYWAY

skunktank is obvious, skunks are great and fascinating and cute. some ppl have come around on them But The Odor. cramorant is a cormorant, and i think those birds are underrated. they're goofy and yet v cool. they fly and swim in such a fun way. they're great. dragalge is a lesser known and underrated animal (the leafy sea dragon) bc it's So Strange that only dweebs like me who watched animal planet as a kid know abt them. lol

then we've got dubwool, which i think is just taken for granted, even though sheep are so crucial to So Many Things. i also think sheep milk is underrated here in the US. sheep & goat milk cheese > cow milk cheese

i wish we had a rattlesnake pokemon, but for now, serperior will do. snakes are awesome. @ imaginary rando in my head, do not talk to me abt how technically it's sort of not a snake, i'm working w what i got and like. lol

and finally, mandibuzz. vultures are so beloathed and reviled but they are AMAZING. and they LOOK cool, too! i love them! so crucial in the ecosystem, and proof that being "ugly" is beautiful. lol it was so fun growing up in the desert and spotting the vultures circling from miles away and going "aw fuck, man, there's a freshly dead animal somewhere over there. cool!" lol

honorable mentions:

i think when ppl mention sea turtles, everyone's like "hell yeah!" and there's all that stuff abt soda can rings and straws. but idk if ppl really appreciate them. they are AMAZING. and also i think ppl are sleeping on carracosta in general, i really like it.

i think ppl outside of the camel's natural habitat and area of the world as a beast of burden highly underrate the camel. they're dope as fuck. so specialized and cool. and also they're all cunts //complimentary, which is great. but they ARE considered funny/cool, and they ARE popular beasts of burden. lol

and of course, crocodiles are awesome. they've gotten a lot of attention and of course we have our beloved (rest in peace) steve irwin to thank. but in general i think ppl are still mostly scared of them and not fascinated by them as they should be. but ppl are mostly suitably respectful of their space, so y'know.

[daintydoilypon]

What was something youd thought you'd be growing up? (Astronaut, president, weapons dealer, etc)

I thought I'd be a Zookeeper like Steve Irwin, but when he passed away when I was around 12, it devastated me so much that I did not pursue it. I think I wrote a very 12-year-old-cringe poem about it.

It did not help that soon after that I met like Jeff Corwin(?) at the Mall of Georgia and he was so indifferent to me that it absolutely killed that dream job //WHEEZE

[lokidokeyartichoki]

Excuse me, what?? You fought a huge python???? You can't just drop that in the tags and not explain how that happened

Lmaoooo I forget not all of you were here in 2015.

This all happened in the very exotic area of the northern suburbs of Chicago. I used to pet sit for a guy who owned a reptile roadshow, and he had like 2 black throat monitor lizards, a few ball pythons, a couple of boa constrictors, a sulcata tortoise, some more lizards and snakes, a tarantula, a snapping turtle and an African millipede. Anyway, I got to feed the smaller animals because they needed to be fed more often but the Burmese python (pictured above) and the adult monitor lizard were fed before he left every time.

They’re all show animals, so they were trained that they were only getting food in their enclosures to minimize incidents at shows. I misunderstood the directions to mist the python’s moss bed and stuck my hand and squeeze bottle into the Burmese’s enclosure.

At the time I had two small dogs and I wasn’t a familiar smell so I don’t blame the snake at all, but it struck my left hand and threw coils around my arm. The snake constricted and let me tell you that thing was 80lbs of pure muscle. Pythons have four rows of teeth on the roof of their mouth and they’re all hooked back to aide in moving food down their throat. So I’m like, “fuck okay” and started pushing my hand back further into its mouth to unhook the teeth.

By the time I managed to get the snake off my arm (it was turning purple) I hadn’t figured out how I was going to close the sliding glass door and my grip weakened enough for it to turn around and bite my right wrist. Which is my dominant arm and all I can remember thinking was “oh okay I guess this is happening now” in the calmest and most resigned way possible. So now the 17ft snake has thrown coils again, is constricting my dominant arm, immobilizing a joint and I’m like “wtf did Jeff corwin and Steve Irwin teach you dumbass”. So I struggled with the snake as gently but firmly as I could until I unhooked it again from my arm. I’m talking prying a hand sized snake head off my limb with my usually useless left hand. It was all in all a 20 minute fight that ended with me getting the snake off and quickly locking the enclosure.

(I did not realize it at the time but if I had stood up and tried to use gravity to get the snake off or moved it out of the enclosure so I had more room I could easily have died if it decided to throw coils and constrict my chest. But that comes into play later.)

ANYWAY, I then wash all my puncture wounds out with antibacterial soap and call my mom who was hysterical and told me to go to the ER. There’s nothing quite like showing up to the ER in a suburb like “yeah I got bit by a very large nonvenomous snake 😔” and they’re like “?????” So all my punctures get washed out with saline and then they take X-rays to make sure no teeth broke off inside my arms.

The funny bit, the funniest part of this whole thing was I was in an intensive out patient group therapy program at the time. Imagine your new patient of like 2 weeks suddenly walks into group one Thursday morning with their forearms and hands all professionally wrapped up with gauze and shit. They were all like “did you self harm” and I was all “no I got bit by a 17ft 80lb snake” and they were like “we haven’t heard that before but we need to unwrap them to verify”. But I was like “Peggy you don’t understand if you unwrap them I can’t wrap them up again and the doctors told me to keep them covered” but Peggy was like “I need to make sure you didn’t cut or self harm” so she unwrapped my arms and was very surprised to find out I had, in fact, been attacked by a large snake instead of lying about it.

Anyway, I then found out that I’m more terrified of open communication and conversation about relationships than possibly dying fighting a snake so I learned a lot about myself that week lmao.
