Hey Fanguins! Want to Help Real Life Penguins? :D

Why Now?

5 out of the 18 penguin species are listed as endangered

That’s approximately 28% that are endangered, not including those under the “vulnerable” or “near threatened” statuses.

These endangered species include:

The Yellow-eyed Penguin

Northern Rockhopper Penguin

Galapagos Penguin

Erect-Crested Penguin

African Penguin

Cute little guys like these African penguins are predicted to go EXTINCT by 2035.

Biggest Threats to Penguins:

Overfishing

Plastic Pollution

Oil Spills

Habitat Disruption

Invasive Species

Climate Change

So… What can We Do?

I know sometimes it seems hopeless when there are major corporations having extensive negative impacts on the environment.

But there are small, everyday changes you may be able to make to contribute for the better (at least a little).

Small actions can add up over time.

Shop Consciously

Overfishing and unregulated fishing are big contributors to penguin populations decreasing.

Less available prey means penguins have to spend longer time at sea to feed their chicks and themselves. This could force them to abandon their chicks, reach the point of exhaustion and pass away as a result, or return to emaciated chicks.

Seafood Watch is a wonderful resource to ensure the seafood you’re buying has been caught sustainably. https://www.seafoodwatch.org/recommendations/download-consumer-guides

Swap for More Sustainable Options

Aside from seafood, you might be able to make many swaps to reusable products.

Reusable grocery bags/tote bags can actually make transporting groceries easier while reducing plastic usage.

If you have access to clean water, a water filter pitcher or a reusable water bottle are also great options when available! 😊

Swapping plastic containers for aluminum cans or cartons (these are easier to recycle)

Swap balloons for other party favors (many released balloons end up in our oceans). Penguins and other sea animals can choke on or get tangled in these while swimming.

Conscious Pet Ownership

Choose pets responsibly and never abandon a pet if you can no longer take care of it. This could lead to the rise of invasive species.

Keep pets on a leash when outside even when you do not see local wildlife.

Penguins, especially those whose habits are around human populations, are regularly attacked and lethally injured by unattended dogs or cats. These include feral or stray animals that have become invasive.

Learn More Directly from Non-Profits:

SANCCOB is an internationally renowned rehabilitation center for South African seabirds (including African penguins) leading conservation efforts for this species. https://sanccob.co.za/about-sanccob/

The Yellow-Eyed Penguin Trust is another great non-profit located in New Zealand that tracks behavior and nesting patterns of the Yellow-eyed penguins. They also remove invasive predators to ensure Yellow-eyed penguins have a chance at repopulating to sustainable levels. https://www.yellow-eyedpenguin.org.nz/yellow-eyed-penguin-trust/about-the-trust/

Penguins International is a nonprofit that educates about penguins and penguin conservation efforts. https://www.penguinsinternational.org/about-us/

Any AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums that support conservation efforts

Advocate:

Sign petitions encouraging legislation change that aims to reduce climate change or regulate fishing

Write to/email legislators when penguin species are at risk

Donate (if you can/would like):

Both Penguins International and SANCCOB do symbolic penguin adoptions to support penguin conservation.

On SANCCOB’s website, you can choose an egg, hatchling, rehabilitated penguin, or long-term penguin resident to symbolically adopt/sponsor. You even get to give your adopted penguin a name!

The Yellow-Eyed Penguin Trust also accepts donations of various amounts.

I figured since if you follow this blog, penguins have inspired media and art that means a lot to you or that has at least brightened your day. If you’re as amazed as I am about the real life species, please consider taking steps to help or learn more about real penguins. I figured sharing this information, while trying to make these changes myself, are the least I could do to honor these amazing creatures!

Thank you for reading! 😁

(Lol I’ll get off my soapbox now 😉)

Maybe Tom McGrath can explain it better 😉 (skip to 3:16 to hear him talk about how amazing penguins are! 😊)

[animatedfc]

hi, i hope you can help me find a good manga fc for my character!! i'm looking for a female presenting fc that has at least chin length hair (can be longer tho!) with bangs, the face shouldn't be too slim, and should defs have a bit of a more introverted vibe? i hope that this info is enough!! thank you for your time :)

You got it! My suggestions are under the cut.

You didn’t mention a hair color, so it’s both light and dark.

 :///// I had a lot of difficulty finding a face who wasn’t so darn slim.

Usami Mizuki, This Art Class Has A Problem!

Nina, Gangsta. With her and the one above, their hair doesn’t quite reach the chin, but is very close.

Akane Awakusu, DRRR!! Appears in both anime and manga form. Has good faces for an introvert.

Anri Sonohara, DRRR!! Appears in both anime/manga, and has a very introverted vibe, but she has glasses.

Yuuya Nekota, Hirukata no Ryuusei.

Gigi, Nyan Nyan Contana. Doesn’t seem like there’s much imagery of her?

Hana Midorikawa, Prison School.

Chiaki Nanami, Dangan Ronpa. Appears in game, anime, and manga.

Urushibara Ruka, Steins;Gate. Note that she’s trans, so you wouldn’t be able to use her if your character isn’t AMAB.

There you go! Let me know if I can do anything else for you. You might also find faceless icons in this tag.

@fanguine liked for a starter.

BITTER OLD LADY HOURS: 36. What’s one thing that other people seem to hate that doesn’t bother you?

Not  immediately  spreading  rumours  about  your  friends  being  mentally  unstable  and  off  their  meds  because  they  ask  you  not  to  do  something  that  hurts  their  feelings  seems  unpopular  ,  but  somehow  I  manage . . .  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

‘ i don’t like being stared at. ’

FIRST BLOOD STARTERS.

     Duly  noted  ;  in  lieu  of  staring  in  the  feeble  hope  Toma  will  grasp  at  the  unspoken  hint  he’s  endeavoured  to  drop  for  quite  some  time  now  ,  it  seems  he  will  have  to  forsake  subtlety  .  He  perches  himself  but  an  inch  away  from  the  poor  girl  ,  his  movements  methodically  slow  —  as  if  to  assuage  the  dread  of  a  frightened  rabbit  ,  brushing  through  her  hair  before  halting  to  pinch  something  which  twitches  ,  writhes  about  angrily  between  gelid  fingertips  .  “  I  was  not  staring  at  you  .  You  had  a  wasp  in  your  hair  ,  see ?  ”

She answers in the affirmative, and yet here Lovecraft is leaning over her regardless-- a sense of morbid curiosity bringing out this stooped posture and hand raising up to curl fingers with conflicted curiosity about his chin. What-- what is it, what could she have that’s little, but scary?

A little “a-aaah,” noise that falls out of his mouth, anticipatory (wary) of the fact that she seems to be turning.

           “--!”

Lovecraft lets out a close-lipped ah! when the slug is thrust into his face. The slug itself is... totally unremarkable (at least superficially) but how can one not be alarmed with someone putting their hands anywhere near one’s face-- very scary. He relaxes after a few (almost comically long) seconds, shoulders relaxing and Lovecraft returning to peer at the creature after his sharp jerk backwards.

          “....slugs?” He knows what a slug is, though it sounds like he doesn’t. Lovecraft blinks fishily at the creature.            “It’s somewhat cute.“
