First image: Crested peacock, Indian or blue peafowl, Pavo cristatus.. Handcolored copperplate drawn and engraved by Edward Donovan from his own Natural History of British Birds, London, 1794-1819 (Mary Evans Online)
Second image: Pavo cristatus by English School, (18th century) (after); Indian peafowl or peacock, Pavo cristatus. Handcoloured copperplate engraving from Samuel Galton Jr.s Natural History of Birds containing a Variety of Facts selected from Several Writers for the Amusement and Instruction of Children, London, Joseph Johnson, 1791. (Mary Evans Online)
While peafowl are still considered an "exotic" pet because they are not a cat or a dog, they have been bred in captivity and domestic settings for thousands of years. One of the older captive mutations, pied, is literally hundreds of years old, showing up in artwork from at least the 17-and-1800s.

Leader and deputy

Do you have anything you've been thinking on but just haven't made a post about it yet? Also I'm really enjoying your fic!
I have a few things but it's likely mostly headcanons that I consider somewhat disconnected from my analysis.
Curly's parents had him old, only child, died shortly after he graduated and got the pony express position. It was the last big thing they saw him do which is a reason he stayed for so long.
Doesn't admit how much their death affected him
Jimmy has a largish family. One of the cases of too many kids to keep tract of, parent never really noticed any of them nor their behaviors
Anya lived in a lot of houses growing up, regular supportive family that just struggled to support themselves.
Became a nurse largely to avoid their financial struggles but mostly because she felt too many people weren't being cared for and advocated for in the world properly
Swansea likes high top sneakers most. Likes how snug they fit and how they shield his ankles at work
Curly has a bit of a caffeine problem since he can’t sleep. Can occasionally be found wandering the ship at “night” when he had some too late or just couldn’t sleep.
Daisuke knows a little about a lot of things. Starts conversations with “did you know” a lot but please don’t ask him deeper questions
Curly has known Jimmy longer but has worked with Anya and Swansea longer, met them during his middle years, met Jimmy shortly before college.
Swansea rents a house, Daisuke’s family lives in a big nice apartment, Curly has a condo, Anya live in a small one bedroom apartment and Jimmy has a studio.
Curly's home is very disconcerting. It's too normal to a like uncanny degree.
Anya is ambidextrous but prefers her left.
Anya and Curly are both not native English speakers so occasionally they forget words and bond over the mutual mocking they get from the rest of the crew. Daisuke knows some Japanese but is still learning, never picked it up as a kid
Only Swansea and Daisuke know how to drive, Earth in my mind is very post capitalist so only older people and like the extremely wealthy can afford cars.
It's also like walkable just due to how many businesses are in your face. Probably strict living vs shopping districts
I have more but the way that I headcanon about them is like too long.
#im still trying to figure out voiceclaims like I think Curly is the most generic lost his accent his accent like swedish or eastern european#guy cause he was raised by old immigrants and anya never had a thick accent but she talks with the cadence of one shes like slavic and east#asian to me. Swansea at most is like irish or italian but just an old white guy and Jimmy just has a bit of olivish skin like hes just whit#i think people should make them all weirder too like I think Anya loves showing the fucked up diagrams and pictures from premed and everyon#has to nod and act super supportive and not horrified cause Anya thats a guy with his leg broken in seven places it is not facinating to th#rest of the crew but she loves it cause fyi to go to med school you have to pass pre-med she has a BA if not a BS in nursing or bio atleast#Swansea randomly talks about shoe politics and its like hes talking about regular politics. Curly doesn't sleep walk but he pauses at weird#times or places and will just stand leave and not tell anyone anything cause even he forgot#Jimmy is himself ig and Daisuke always has some media drama they are too old for to get invested in and teach them about youth slang Anya#kinda gets it#also i think people make Curly and Jimmy way too old? Like In my mind Curly is sorta his late 20s- early 30s like he's in the settling#part of his life hence the fear about settling here anya is likel mid 20s to 30 cause she at least finished college we dont have the years#of how long shes been working and maybe Jimmy is just a bit older and feels weird envy about missing that introspection Curly is having.#Daisuke is like 19-22 in my mind like hes an adult but a kid by their standards#like Curly was recruited and its much easier to get younger people plus getting someone young is a good investment like they either got him#right after school and its like all he's known and it scares him#mouthwashing#mouthwashing game#anya mouthwashing#curly mouthwashing#jimmy mouthwashing#swansea mouthwashing#daisuke mouthwashing#ask#anon

The prototype of all time is on eBay today.
This is Scorch in a full color departure: he's got Magic's white wings, a red mouth, bright red felt spines on his back, and a green-brown-purple tie dye body (I think this is Claude's fabric?)
If I had $3k to waste in a world at peace you bet I'd waste it on this Scorch prototype.
Listed by Legendary Treasure Chest (archived here)
#I love this maybe even more than tie dye tabasco#and he DOES look like my white wing scorch! that's so cool! it's like this prototype is an older cousin#beanie babies#prototype#beanie prototype#scorch the dragon

I’m legitimately gonna explode if I don’t find someone else who understand the background tragedy of the Gleeful Family in Gravity falls.
#Gravity falls#Gideon Gravity Falls#Gideon Gleeful#Bud Gleeful#I HC the mom’s name as Karen - a play on Caring - just with the Accent#Carin’ Gleeful……#ANYWAYS#Gideon is a child star at the age of 10 with a powerful corrupting force around his neck and a VERY weird coded behavior.#AND THE BEHAVIOR HAS TO BE LEARNED OR INFLUENCED. He’s TEN.#And he’s being weird from anywhere to kids a bit older to him to mentioning having a crush on an older woman (in a prison short)#Can we get this kid some COUNSELING#Also#It’s heavily suggested he was born with the white hair which might’ve made him just as outcast as many of the cast…..#I also have to shoutout Bud. Because while he’s permissive I don’t think he’s *bad*.#He’s in the weirdest possible situation as a parent because uhhhh! People forget that amulet does change the Power Dynamic#Like. The amulet makes Gideon a giant physical threat and people Forget That. The entire house is BUILT around that#Smaller Bud personal take -#I do heavily get the vibe he’s been not-so-well-off before (‘It’s all brand name foods-’) but Idk what to do with that#AND THE MOM. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU 😨#THE BOOK DIDNT EVEN NEED TO BE BURRIED THERE I’M SO UPSET OVER THE GLEEFULS I’M GONNA EXPLODE#I have a LOT of HCs about the Gleefuls I could just drop in the tags of this post tbh#Example;#Bud used to be a holy man IMO - Is this anything?

Americans could barely handle a black man, couldn’t handle a white woman, and REALLY couldn't handle a black woman - yet they can handle an actual criminal, pedophile, and terrorist. Crazzzyyyyyy
#personal#uspol#sexism#racism#What’s wild to me is they couldn’t even handle a white lady#Like a wealthy older white lady#Was too much#And then a woman of color u freaks had to start destroying ballot boxes and acting fucking insane#HOW do u hate the people who gave u life this much#Like that’s rly my question#U bitches are so fucking ungrateful#I’m sure that’s why ur so anti abortion#Bc if ur mommy had known better she would’ve gotten rid of u

she's actually pretty cute
#my little pony-core#like specifically the older chunky dolls#the tan colour on her face is a little strange cause even the seahorses' colour scheme isn't done that way#they have blue bodies and faces with white surrounding the face#snorkmaiden#moominvalley season 4

i think modern anime's aversion to saturated colours is what turns me off. everything is so pale it borders on pastel colour palettes all the time. even like when contextually it makes no sense for things to be so muted
#even older anime with more monotone colour schemes overall were so saturated. new stuff feels like there's a wash of white over it?#also again STOP with the bright white lighting i cant stand that shit#even stuff that i know is saturated for modern anime it's always one degree of too shiny so it looks washed out

"We need more messy/awful/cringefail female characters!"
You guys couldn't even handle Wanda Whipple...
#sonic the hedgehog#knuckles 2024#knuckles series#wanda whipple#fandom wank#knuckles 2024 spoilers#sonic movie#knuckles series spoilers#I feel like someone had to say it#If I had a nickle for every post I saw that treated her character being sucky as a person a terrible flaw of the show (to the point of#people saying that her character isn't objectively a good character unless she's terribly punished or becomes a better person) then I would#be rich guys#Me watching the show: Wow she like. Sucks. In any other show this role would be reserved for the sucky chad older brother who bullies his#nerdy mc younger brother but honestly as a believer of allowing characters who a#aren't just cishet white guys to get to play a multitude of roles#it's kind of refreshing that this is a role played by a lady#Everyone else: Wow this female character sucking ass as a person is indicative of everything wrong with this show why is she sucky why#I'm not even gonna get started on what I heard about Agent Willoughby#Like if sucky or bad or corrupt guys can just be that without the reasons having to make sense to you why do you scrutinize the female cast#for not being perfectly palatable good girlbosses#i just be ramblin#Edit: oh yeah for the record. this is not an opening for you to give me a dissertation on why you should be allowed to hate or be#disappointed in the handling of the female characters in the red echidna and his buddy show

missed his lighter hair era a bit
#ts4#sims 4#the sims 4#sims#simblr#breeze nsb legacy extra#oc: ross#for those who weren't here abt 5 years ago#he was turned as an older man so his hair was a bit lighter colour#but he 'got younger' during the transformation#well his hair stayed. and he has a tiiiiny little bit of wrinkles. just a little bit barely noticeable but he has them (and i love that btw#then he got burnt to ashes lol what a time#and when he was brought back for some reason the game gave him his original haircolour#which i'm not complaining about bc it's such a nice colour. one of my faves#but the lighter hair was a vibe too#he also really pulls off black imo but he never canonically had black hair. not even dyed#blonde was a vibe too. i think he briefly had that after i accidentally deleted the recolour and then put in the wrong one lol#did i ever bleach his hair for a picture to like really pale blond white or something. don't think so. well. well...#you know what's coming your way soon because of course it is#for reasons. iykyk#listen it's canon that every media that has a vampire in it that i'm obsessed with ross is also obsessed with. soooo yeah
