#crazy zoo

[yanadhyana]

Welcome to the Hotel California, oops, oh no, the Red Star hotel;

Maybe someone remembers chocolate eggs "Tombola" with a toy with theme "Crazy Zoo" from the 90s. The essence of toys is that all the parts fit together and you can construct wonderful and contradictory creatures. Did you have such toys?

This drawing is dedicated to toys and their creators, who still inspire me with what they did a long time ago.

I jumped on the bandwagon.

When I was looking at this scene I couldn’t help but think, why does that scarf look so familiar… and then I remembered

Even if the colors don’t match it’s still similar in design.

You don’t perhaps think that since animals can have quirks Koji’s pet Rabbit might have one and we could possibly see Shiina again do you?

Probably not, but it is a nice thought

did you go camping or something during July Political Hell Week

that's actually pretty close, bc I was technically on a campground and I was sleeping in a cabin- I could've been online if I wanted to? It was for the whole week, but it was a really really busy trip, I didn't get my phone out much at all, and now I'm home with an extremely sore body, a light brush of poison ivy, and a sunburn Hugo shared a bed with me on the trip btw so here's him

Hi I saw your Moo Deng post and thought you might wanna add this great interview Slate did with Rebecca Lewison a conservation ecologist who specializes in hippos

https://slate.com/life/2024/09/hippo-moo-deng-baby-pygmy.html

Also that other user who made the Moo Deng misinformation post is apparently a dolphin trainer with quite a few posts talking positively about SeaWorld

Thank you so much! Here's the link for those who want easier access

also that last point... Holy Shit 😬 I knew they were not an expert in this topic in the first place but that's a new low

Hey Llama, since we saw what a good aquarium is like, how about zoo siren au if the aquarium was actually competent and good? :D

aka-indulgence more like aka-ingulGENIUS

Sans: This AU would probably make the biggest difference to dearly beloved orca boy. Our cute monochromatic sociopath has a dizzyingly large pool with plenty of room to move and depth to dive into, plenty of natural lighting from big windows and fresh air pumped from outside, a constantly rotated array of complex toys to pull apart. But most importantly, humans don't closely interact with him. The aquarium can tell he's angry, and doesn't want anyone near him- so for both their safety and his peace of mind staff interact with him exclusively through sheets of thick glass or from high walkways far out of his reach.

This has left them with a siren who still launches attacks when he can (like breaching to try and hit the walkway), but has never successfully killed anyone. And the biggest difference is he's only attacking out of momentary flashes of frustration. He's not planning murders far in advance, like his abused counterpart- he's just losing his temper. He's generally quite content.

Even more so when he meets his darling keeper.

Red: We have a very happy shark on our hands!

A big tank, full of swarms of little fish and actual live coral instead of just fake fibreglass, he's got one of those winding shark tunnels beneath his enclosure that kids love to run through. He delights in the excited expressions on their faces when he glides over their heads, and he likes being 'chased' around the tank... lots of cute viral videos of him blowing bubbles at children, or sneaking up behind an unsuspecting adult and scaring the shit out of them.

The aquarium tried to wean him off his affinity for people. It didn't work. Unfortunately, that means he can't really ever be released, in case he approaches swimmers and gets himself hunted- so now they indulge his fixation on humans for enrichment purposes.

The main difference for this Red is how he bites. He still bites keepers, But they're warnings for getting too close, nothing with malicious intent... he hasn't removed any fingers, he's still very popular with staff for his big personality. You can't help but love him.

Skull: Since Sans is happy pulling apart his toys instead of staff, Skull is arguably the most dangerous siren in this AU. Not much changes about him, really, despite the far better environment; he's got a lovely deep dark tank and a much bigger den to hide in, but he's still known for tucking away rather than approaching the crowds.

... And he's still a killer.

He's the only siren who's successfully killed someone in this AU. Ironically, the fact that it's only one death makes him seem even scarier, and his repeated attempts all the more jarring. If it weren't for the strict safety protocols that were enforced after the first death he likely would've killed again. Unlike their 'bad au' counterpart, this aquarium isn't nearly as willing to throw Mc into his tank to pacify him- in fact, they're not willing at all. Putting Mc within tentacle's reach of this behemoth seems to be the last thing they want to do.

... But if it keeps him calm, and stops him attacking...

Hmmm... I draw Curator a lot.

So I've got a bunch of icons, emojis and colored in manga panels.

Then I've got a few AU pieces like Fantasy AU where he's a werewhale and wears fancy clothes and a little harpooned whale earring. Then there's the Apocalypse AU where he wears a gasmask and has hypnotized Froppy to work for him. Then a Pokemon AU look where he has Kyogre powers. Then there's the Zombie AU where he's even more ugly on his whale side, he's a extra sad boy in that one not only looking to cure his quirk but to look for a cure for Zombification.

And then a bunch of sketches based on roleplays. Him and Overhaul because I HC them as long lost brothers or cousins due to Isana being an obvious inspiration for the later created Overhaul, they just have so many similarities that they have to be related lol.

And then a bonus sleepy whale boy because a fun fact about Sperm Whales is that they sleep suspended vertically in the water.

sometimes i remember eddie suggesting buck take chris to the zoo in season 3 then telling the team that buck takes chris to the zoo all the time in season 5 and i just have to take a moment because. that's real. that's a real, canon thing that happened. somebody actually wrote that and put it in an episode.
