So wrap your mind around of species of rove beetles whose sole source of food are fungal spores. Also wrap your head around the fact they have been doing this for millions of years (mid Cretaceous).

Humans are responsible on a fundamental level for dogs. We literally made them, molded them into what they are over millennia, and in large part we made them dependent on us. Dogs owe their existence to us in the same way children do, so taking responsibilty for their well-being as best we can isn't just nice, it's morally imperative.

Do you feel any remorse taking internet charity for your dog when that incredibly substantial amount of money could have gone towards helping actual real life unhoused and impoverished peoples?

I get wanting to keep your dog alive but like... $5000 spent when you already know he's circling the drain? That money could have helped so many people...

Sounds like you should donate $5000 the Get Off Your High Horse Charity you incoherent insensitive ignorant fuckwad.

PONY RACE EVOLUTION CHART YAYYY

id initially done a shitter looking chart but i wanted smthn pretty 2 match the element chart so here we are >:)

much like everything else in equestria, pony evolution was fueled by magic & early equestria was HIGHHHHH in magic content. this caused creatures to rapidly evolve in order to adapt to the changing landscape, resulting in the different ponies we have today. all pony races are capable of hybridising, but most are infertile & usually become lesser chaos ponies as a result of the clashing of different magics in them.

Headcanon of the day is that Fairies tend to LOVE bugs. Specifically bugs like beetles or bees, because they share a similar wing shape! "Bug" is a common affectionate name for Fairies' partners or children, and parents tend to coo phrases like "my adorable little insect". Bugs are treasured creatures, and there's probably a dozen little superstitions relating to how seeing a certain bug in your house brings good luck.

This also happens to fit in with Anti-Fairies, who have bat-like wings and use "bat" as an affectionate nickname. Encouraging Anti-Fairy children to hate their counterparts tends to go something along the lines of "you'll hunt them down, just like the bats of the wild do to bugs!"

They look like bats for a reason, they'll say, and maybe it's partially true! Perhaps they co-evolved just like bats and moths did, evolved to hunt down their 'prey' with efficiency. Ideally. Unfortunately all of them are kinda stupid in one way or another </3

Going to sit down and watch SW eps VII through IX, since I've only seen Rise of Skywalker once and HATED IT, but because this trilogy was the first I ever saw in theaters & I was so so so hopeful for what was to come after being blown away by the Force Awakens, which I love a crazy amount & GUHHHH I just want to break the bones of the people who turned the sequel trilogy into a fucking laughing stock and made such pics poor work of the series in the two following movies. VIII and IX are fucking jokes.

Anyways, to Star Wars brain rot I go!!

fun fact! with the exception of tekken 6 and seemingly tekken 8, devil jin always has longer bangs than jin. (a detail that was even added in tekken 7 somehow!) why this is being omitted in tekken 8, and why it wasn't in tekken 6 either, is unknown.

Okay so time to spill more on my ssmp au because now that I have people to talk about this with that seem genuinely interested I CANT shut up:

So, all the Minecraft servers are essentially in one world to me. Hermitcraft? Life series? Ssmp? Lifesteal? Fuck it, dream smp? And every other lesser known smp, of course. (I am NOT a dream smp fan anymore but I have a lot of intersecting headcanons between hermitcraft and former dsmp members, which also get REALLY complex, so,) All essentially on a planet of sorts . Their own weird funky mc planet. All of them coexist. Now, if anyone is familiar with something called Evolution smp... Yeah okay I can't keep my mouth shut I CREATED MY OWN WATCHER AND LISTENER LORE FOR THIS AU. SEANS A FUCKING WATCHER OKAY AND LEGUNDO IS A LISTENER WHICH MEANS THEY ARE LITERALLY NATURALLY INCLINED TO HATE EACHOTHER. It's why they always end up at odds, why they cant ever seem to cooperate on ANYTHING. Okay, so, taking it back a little, some of the lore for watchers and listeners is a little confusing and basically none of it is canon except for some of the evo stuff because I'm literally just taking the plot from there.

Okay, so, Evosmp happens (I haven't watched evo I've just gotten the general idea of what happened from lore videos and compilations etc etc whatever who cares), the Watchers, who are essentially types of gods, reveal themselves to the evo members. They aren't immediately hostile, deciding to slowly take over the server instead of just slaughtering everyone. They start to be worshipped, as they are literally some form of gods, and start to ask weirder and weirder things from the members. Especially Grian, the server admin. The easiest way to take down a server peacefully is luring a server admin into the watcher realm, turning them, and having them hand over the server to the elder watchers; that was the technique they were using. Half way through Grians transformation, which, in my mind, takes about a month or two, he starts to catch on to the more sinister side of things. Blah. Blah. I can go into more detail about the exact situation and lore for Hc/trafficsmp characters later if anyone is interested but this is about SSMP!! Basically the listeners step in once Grian realizes he's too far along to help himself, but by the time he gets back to evo and out of the watcher realm he's already one of them. The thing about watchers and listeners, there's only two ways one can die. Watchers can only be killed by listeners. Listeners can only be killed by watchers, or overexerting their magic. (Watchers aren't affected by overexertion for some reasons I'm not gonna get into rn)

In order to stop the watchers from taking over the server all the members were turned into listeners through a faster process so they could actually fight them off, blah blah. They realized they weren't going to win this war so they just decided to kick the bucket at that point, rather that than be gods. So, one of them killed grian at his request, and all the listeners proceeded to overexert themselves or give up in a fight against some of the watchers. They're reborn, without their memories of the past life, and woohoo whaddaya knowit they're still watchers/listeners, except now they're classified as 'runaways'. Runaways are watchers or listeners who've purposefully died to escape their peers. Hey, guess who happened to be one of the more chaotic watchers during evo? That's right!!, Sean!!, and he got killed, and was reborn as a shapeshifter; THATS WHY HE HAS MORE CONTROL OVER HIS ABILITIES! because he's like literally kinda a god. A traitor, but still a god. The highest listener, the one who decided that the evo members needed help, was legundos past life. He was killed by watchers too, and after his and the evo members' death the listeners were corrupted. They still have what is essentially a rivalry with the watchers, and will attack each other on sight, but listeners start attempting to lure players in as well.

BOOM there you have it. That's why Sean and Legundo have such a deep-seated rivalry where they just can't seem to coexist. RAHHHHHH ENEMIES TO LOVERS HAUBRISB✨ sometimes I love being a chaotic multi shipper

Bless my former fundie Baptist church (and by "bless" I mean "fuck"), because back in two thousand and seven-ish they tried to reconcile the Word of God with actual science by telling us that God is so powerful and we are so insignificant in comparison that six days to Him could have been thousands or millions of what humans consider years. They even used the cosmic clock timescale (I forget if that analogy even has a particular name), where the whole history of human beings is just one fraction of a second in all of the unfathomable hours of the universe. Which is great and vastly more than what fundies teach/preach now and maybe even then!

But then they took my Sunday school class on a field trip to the newly-created Creation Museum in Kentucky, which had and has displays of humans and dinosaurs co-existing and teaches thusly. Which is terrible and completely predictable for a fundie church teach/preach now and even then.

non-black people being so condescending to black people when it comes to the discussion of aave by using the fact language evolves as a way to disregard black people being hyper-aware of how the way aave is co-opted is an extension of racism is so funny because black people are well aware of that language evolves considering aave evolves itself. "rizz", "finna", and even "gyatt" to some extent are the most recent examples of aave evolving other than the general fact that aave is so varied and dependable on the region. but what do i, a black person, know about my own dialect i guess. what do i and most other black people who grow up with the dialect and witness how its perceived to & treated by society know about the difference between language evolution and language being co-opted i guess.
