The Big Cats and their fossil relatives, by Alan Turner, illustrated by Mauricio Antón, 1997

Bought new at the La Brea Tar Pits museum, an excellent book on the history of big cats! I really need to reread this book, though I know it's obviously dated in some areas as new research has come out

A guy who just wake up from a coma -> what did i miss?

Pomefiore was the last plot i follow before real life made me forget about our silly boys. How bad has the plot become now for our gang? Also who is that Gojo looking guy?

anon, I am so sorry and I mean this in the best way, but I do think episode 5 is the absolute funniest place to have stopped following Twst because shit starts escalating SO fast after that. episode 6 literally starts with a secret government shadow agency breaking down our doors and kidnapping students. zero to a million instantly.

and like...that's not even the zaniest thing so far? Ortho's hacked into the collective human unconscious. there's time travel (sort of). "Crowley might be Malleus' long-lost father" is a serious theory. if you'd told me any of this back pre-episode 6, I would have asked for the link to this unbelievable but highly intriguing fanfic.

also, episode 7 gave us (and then immediately took away 😔) the best character in the whole story:

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #there are better and very comprehensive summaries out there so i'm not gonna get into it with any seriousness #(genuinely a LOT has happened)#but let's recap very quickly #episodes 1-5: our friends' RA is a huge asshole! jack's sports idol is trying to cheat at the big game! who will win the talent show!#i sure hope no one turns into a monster and tries to kill us!#episode 6: a shadowy government organization has stolen our friends (and cat) to experiment on #idia throws himself into hell and then tries to destroy the world. we punch ortho so hard he grows a soul.#episode 7: malleus has an existential crisis and traps everyone in an eternal dreamworld #extended diasomnia backstory flashbacks reveal that silver is a cursed prince and lilia wanted to be the filling in a royal sandwich #somehow sebek is the most normal character and that's the real twist right there #every new chapter is its own wild fever dream and i'm so here for it #as for this gojo fellow #i had to google him because i am unfamiliar. but i believe you are referring to our dear friend scully (skully?) j graves #from that time we got sucked into a magic book (again) and then he got mad at us for being fake halloween fans #also he wouldn't stop kissing our hand. who says there's no smooches in twst.

guess who got themself hyperfixated on yet another piece of shockingly emotionally compelling children’s media

#dog man #dogman #petey the cat #lil petey #yolay caprese #sarah hatoff #detey #sarah x yolay #<- do they have a ship name? idk but they mean a lot to me #it’s funny bc I knew these books got crazy emotional before I read em bc I’ve seen pages posted from em before #but I still was not prepared for how much they genuinely made me sob #that gay little cat means the world to me #big fan of the reverse divorce arc he and dogman are going down #these characters are so much fun to draw #I LOVE FINALLY BEING INTERESTED IN SOMETHING WITH SIMPLE CHARACTER DESIGNS‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Various doodles of the Dorito Twins.

I just like to play with them like dolls and put them into situations.

#woo dragons art be upon you #gravity falls #the book of bill #bill cipher #pyramid steve #have fun decoding! won't give the answers in the tags cuz that's taking the fun away #anyway. anyone wanna hear some additional thoughts of mine to the images? of course you do.#[IMAGE 1: originally i also wanted to do a ''mom said it's my turn'' but decided against it then. also. they are playing #Super Battle Siblings™ for the BoxBox64.™ ''but op. the n64 didn't exist in the eighties yet'' do i look like I fucking care.]#[IMAGE 2: i struggled pretty badly with those darn shoes. the shoes too big for the goddamn hes. anyway.#i also had to change the color of bill cuz he looked fucking sun burned.]#[IMAGE 3: if bill fucked our mom it's just fair that steve fucked our dads. i also always had this one tumblr post in mind that goes like:#''is the opposite of 'forgive me father for I have sinned' 'sorry daddy for being dirty'?'']#[IMAGE 4: actually no additional thoughts. squish the cat.]#[IMAGE 5: I once saw a drawing that had the steve equivalent to 'universe is a hologram. reality is an illusion. buy gold.' but all I -#remember is that it said 'eat copper' at the end. i also used minecraft ingots pngs cuz it's funny]#[IMAGE 6: the alpha twin title belongs to the silly ones. I don't make the rules.]#[IMAGE 7: :) ]#[OTHER: there's something else I had planned for this but I thought too much about it so now it's gonna be a comic.#hope i can finish it til next Wednesday]#have a lovely day everyone :]

i love that all 3 of the lannister siblings r chronic yappers both in their internal monologues and dialogues. cersei doom yapping to sansa about the what-if if stannis took over the city jaime info dumping on his teenage new hire loras about kingsguard knight number 86 dead 2 centuries ago and tyrion monologuing to himself about taking it up the ass for passage across the narrow sea to the wall. the siblings of all time

#asoiaf #house lannister #chaos reads #big fan big fan #also tyrion pestering the servant lady in illyrio's manse about smuggling him out in her skirts??#one also mustn't forget of jaime's info dump to cat in book 2 about ... his whole life actually #or cersei he's-in-the-god-damn-walls lannister and her entire monologue to ned in book 1. lovely family #cersei lannister #jaime lannister #tyrion lannister #valyrianscrolls

Making content for all 5 tcf fans out there

Bonus:

#cale henituse #the trash of the count's family #raon miru #Tcf #Art #Comic #I'm gonna be real I had too much fun with this #Also they look like foxes more than cats because I... Wanted them to. Yeah I don't have an excuse #I mean just look at how big they are in the bottom panel lmfao. Them honkers #Anyways I'm using a new technique to make art and it's shockingly fun #3d models baybe. Who knew they were so useful #Anyways I had to really struggle not to scrap the whole thing and redraw Cale to look more dynamic #Alas. I'll get good at using models eventually #Only rlly need em for the hoomans tho. Their faces are so... lumpy... it's hard to grasp #On the note of tcf. You should read it. Yeah you. The one who's reading this.#Did you like rainworlds story? Do you dislike how romance dominates everything? Do you like going crazy? Then you're probably like me.#There's a graphic novel (manhwa) if you're not into actual reading (the manhwa is actually insanely good and it's so deserved)#(like I'm convinced it started as a passion project. The artist goes so hard for no reason)#I'll probably illustrate some moments from the story if the mood hits me. This is gonna be my second read #(it's 2 million words it takes like at least a hundred hours to read it all) so I'm having fun discovering all the foreshadowing I missed #Actually let's see. Oh yeah. Lmao I've been reading for 28 hours and I'm 20% of the way through part 1 #Idk how accurate that number is but I'm not a slow reader 😂#The Infinite Book™.#trash of the count's family #lout of the count’s family #lcf

endless fun to be had with murderbot

#i like to think it has a veeery peculiar way of moving which i think i only managed to capture in the bottom sketch #in the books it mentions that it fights differently to other secunits #especially when it uses its little 'wrapping itself around a targets head' manoeuvre #idk i just think that if i ever got to decide how to animate murderbot i would base it off of a big cat when it fights #i know its pouncing on its targets #murderbot #the murderbot diaries #murderbot fanart #art by cricket

Do you have any final theories/desires for Book 7 Part 12?

(slamming fists on table) I DEMAND MORE CHE'NYA

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 part 12 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 part 12 spoilers #to be fair i am always in a state of lowkey wanting more che'nya #let him crash cater's pizza party!!!!#i wanna see cater skateboard up that big ol' tower to slam some za with a neon purple cat #truly this is the most radical dream yet #golly. i do try not to speculate too much but the 3-part split has me VERY intrigued #like yeah it most likely is just because hearts has a lot of boys #so it's probably cater and one of adeuce -> trey and the other adeuce -> riddle #but i am curious what's gonna happen after riddle's dream. because we'll have the party all together #and we gotta segue back into malleus somehow...#man i was wondering if the subchaptering of the subchapters was a one-off or if it was gonna be a consistent thing from here on #i guess we're gonna be getting smaller but more frequent drops from now on?#i am into that (keep up the hype!) but i'm surprised that it'll be happening just...around other events #main story has become unstuck in time and is just floating around the schedule now #we're gonna be locked in battle with cater's subconscious while deuce is over there in a parallel timeline trying on crop tops #makes me wonder what's going on in that production schedule...#lemme see those gantt charts twst

A Stiffbeard dwarf and their companion. Which is a cat! Big one too. These cats are commonly used by this clan for pulling sleds and hunting (and in rarer cases, warfare).
