Pigeon attempts to court falcon
#is the bird video cute? in my amateur opinion this is probably an unremarkable situation#domestic falcon waiting for work and domestic pigeon trying to fuck it#'that pigeon is huge' wrong. falcons generally arent much bigger than their prey#video#animals#birds#ship dynamic#safekeeping

#talks#i dont think its inherently. Well like. people can have built-in euphoric response to cheeseburger.#why was he moaning.#Hi everyone. please be normal on my post which was meant to be a joke about my opinion.#and was never meant to be a generalized opinion that I am saying applies to you.

I really wish that people had a better grasp on what The Average Person's Life was like pre-industrialization. If you're living in the global North the odds are good that your life is, in fact, better than a medieval king- yes, even with the political stuff- and would make your ancestors cry wild tears of envy.
The things that suck about your life are things that suck about the baseline human condition (at least since the invention of agriculture, but that's 10,000 years of humanity). Yes, including all the political stuff.
The baseline human condition is "being terrified of losing the harvest and starving", compared to that, losing a job is no big deal. (It's bad, it can be life-upendingly bad, but it's still not "you are guaranteed to die if you screw this up" bad for most people.)
The baseline human condition is "getting kicked around by a tin pot dictator", whether that be a king, a baron, a warlord, or a chief; it's taken centuries of social technology to get the world to a point where that's Not Normal.
The baseline human condition is "losing multiple siblings and/or children at a young age to diseases that are entirely preventable". That's a shocking tragedy now. The baseline human condition is "being in the pathway of said tinpot dictator's wars of conquest" and having to deal with soldiers' pillage, looting, and worse (even if they're nominally on your side). That is, again, a shocking tragedy-- it still happens, and happens in way too much of the world, but no one is going to tell you that it's normal.
I'm not saying that we can sit back and rest on our laurels. We can't. I've been calling the pre-industrial world the "baseline human condition" for a reason- unless you're very, very careful, that's what your society eventually reverts to. It takes a lot of people working very hard to make sure you don't have to live at the baseline human condition, and if you start slacking on that, you start backsliding into it.
How we treat each other- and how we use the technology, material and social, that we've developed to make things easier- matters. We can make the world even better than it is now. We can also make it significantly worse. The choice is ours.
...But if you know that you can reliably have food regardless of the season, you don't live in fear of a random attack killing you tomorrow, and you can listen to music on command whenever you want? You do actually live a better life than a medieval king. Because even kings and emperors were much closer to the baseline human condition than a random farm worker in Bumfuck, Iowa is today.

When a dog bites with 'no warning.'
#its not just growling tbh#its also making the dog greet people its afraid of#punishing it for discomfort when strangers pet it#and just in general not allowing any display of opinion towards interactions with people other than 'happy doggie'

TWO THANGS
when I say "love" with no descriptors, I don't mean romantic by default
when I say "art" with no descriptors, I don't mean visual by default
#relevant to my recent posts . everyone should live like this in my opinion but life isnt perfect..........#adddna#I'll admit I tend to give visual art examples because I enjoy making visual art meself#but i say art and mean writing and music and sculpture etc#and i say love and mean the general concept of humans caring about each other a whole whole extra lot

#arcane#arcaneedit#caitlyn kiramman#vi#viktor#caitlyn#jinx#mel medarda#mel#gifmaking#arcane season 2 spoilers#IM HELLA BORED I WANT NEW CONTENT ALREADY#do i think gifmakers color grade better than the people behind the show? nah. the show itself and gifs serve different purposes#theyre two entirely different things ngl#its just fun seeing before and afters of gif/edit coloring lol#i used to have a more stylized coloring filter on arcane but later in ive transitioned into something that’s a bit more in tune with#the original colors of the show#ngl im pretty mediocre when it comes to coloring lmao i cant do complex stuff like the other edit makers here#arcane and many shows in general are so dark lmao its always tough to color em#send some love to your local fandom gifmakers theyre all still hella disrespected for what they do lmao#also if ur not a fan of the coloring and sharpening then buzz off i dont wanna hear your opinion lmao go make gifs yourself :D#personal tag

Hot take: Bluey became such a massive hit because it's one of the few currently-running TV shows where parents and children are both treated as valuable people with rich inner lives.
After the death of the family sitcom, most shows are either: 1) aimed at children and show the parents as idiots who get in the way of the children's plans; 2) aimed at adults and show only childless single people; or (rarely) 3) family sitcoms where the parents and children are horrible people who hate their lives and yell a lot. So a show that portrays the children and the parents as people with interesting personalities who are doing their best and like spending time with each other filled a gap in the culture and people went crazy for it.
#random thought of the day#bluey#i haven't seen much of it#(watching it tonight due to some surprise evening babysitting)#my general opinion is that it's fine but i don't get why people go so crazy for it#then tonight i remembered the complete lack of positive family portrayals and it made more sense#how often are parents portrayed positively...at all?

hey leader!!!
#persona 3#p3 fanart#makoto yuki#minato arisato#junpei yori#yukari takeba#i think their trio dynamic is the most overlook in any game#we talk about makoto in relation to anyone else but i always find it fascinating how#despite being the bro character. junpei initially resents makoto and actively has to work towards understanding him#as opposed to other bro characters who immediately love the protagonist#and i love how yukari learns to open up to him even through her own trust issues AND his aloof general attitude#to the point she behaves how she does in the answer (iykyk)#which is in my opinion (and like no one elses lol) one of the most compelling characterizations in a female character in persona#ok rants over. i just love these guys and i think they are sadly underappreciated#art#fanart#spin draws

To specify (because there is a character limit in polls), I am asking if it’s okay for consumers of your work to leave comments with criticism of the show and also if you are okay with people leaving comments with constructive criticism of your work
If you can, specify what type of creator you are in the tags!
#I have seen a lot of opinions on this matter#and I want to know what the general consensus is#no other purpose to this but my curiosity#but that is certainly reason enough for me to make a poll#also#use your own discretion for these answers#if you aren’t sure if you’re a creator#or you aren’t sure if your opinion is nuanced#or for or against#just choose what feels right#reblog for a bigger sample size#please!#miraculous ladybug#mlb#miraculous#ml#ml fandom#ml writers#ml artists#ml polls#my polls#poll

I definitely think that middle-aged Steve with his first iPhone would find out be taught by his twelve-year-old how to change his lockscreen, and promptly changed it to a selfie that Robin took with Steve and Eddie's seven-year-old daughter Hazel (because he likes it and it's a good picture and it makes him smile and who the hell gives a shit about what his lockscreen is, anyways?)
Eddie sees this a few weeks later and, unsurprisingly, he has things to say about it.
Eddie: …….You know, people probably see that and think Robin is your wife.
Eddie: And your kids’ mom.
Steve: *thinking about it*
Steve:
Steve:
Steve: Yeah.
Steve: I’m cool with that.
Eddie: *genuinely offended*
#steve argues that everyone whose opinion matters to him knows that eddie is his husband so who cares what anybody else thinks?#eddie’s lock screen had been a photo of steve but he changed it to one of the generic ones in retaliation#steve took it very personally#steddie#liv’s steddie dads verse#steve harrington#eddie munson#steddie dads
