Why does no one talk about this😭

Though born in the USA, two young panda twins were returned to China along with some complications. The pandas were so addicted to crackers that they had to be given crackers along with their food and water. They also grew up understanding some English phrases, such as "come here" but couldn't understand the Sichuan dialect of Chinese used on the Chengdu Giant Panda Research Base.

panda may that would so cute

Waiter: What will you be having today?

May M: Oh, just a salad.

Despite being in the Phyla Carnivora, Giant Pandas are Folivores - Herbivore that specialize in Leaf eating, Bamboo leaves being 90% of their diet, with the other one percent being Shoots, Tubers, And Smaller rodents or Carrion.

~~~~~

Robyn: I'll be having The Champion's Meal, and we'll also have Honey toast, Scrambled Eggs, Fish Fry and the Fruit Platter.

Waiter: Is that All?

Robyn: Yep! thank you!

Waiter: I'll be back then! *They Leave*

Robyn: ... You need to eat Actual food May.

May: *Embarrassed* I know ...

In Captivity Giant Pandas are also fed additional items, such as Honey, Eggs, Fish, Yams, Bananas, Oranges, Shrub Leaves, and other Specially Prepared Food

~~~~~

Shark!Jaune: Okay! Ready?

Gator!Yang: Hold on, I think SOmeone's joinming us

May: Hello! Is this the Basal Faunus Meeting?

Jaune: Yep! It's nice to see you again Ms. Marigold!

Giant Pandas are a Basal Species in the family Ursidae - This Means they are they least Changed from their Common ancestor to other Bears. Surprisingly.

~~~~~

Fiona: thanks for watching My Nieces may- Where's The other one?

May: The other one?

Robyn: She's right here!

May: There were Two?!?!

At one point there was a Giant Panda that gave birth to Twins, which was a cause for Celebration. Unfortunately, in order to unsure the Mother would pay attention to each Cub equally, one was often swapped out for the other. Otherwise, only the stronger/bigger one would've survived.

~~~~~

May M: Hello.

May Z: Uhm .... Hi?

The prefix "Giant" Panda was given to keep them from being confused with Red Pandas, which are mustelids, more closely related to Raccoons.

Family Secrets.

Summary: There are somethings Alma Madrigal will never tell her children.  Encantober 2024: Secret. Trigger Warnings: Grief/mourning, past character deaths, trauma, etc.

------------------------------------------------------------

“Mami, story? Please.” Little Julieta asked in her doorway, chewing on her bottom lip nervously as she tugged on her sleep braids. Eyes wide and pleading as she looked up at her in her little teal nightgown. “Bruno can’t sleep.”

Alma sighed, setting the candle down. “I’ll be right there, cariño.”

The five year old beamed at her, before bolting out of the room and to her room where undoubtedly her siblings were waiting to hear the news. 

“No running in the house, hija! You’re gonna hurt yourself!” Truth be told, Alma didn’t want to tell them a story. In fact, she wanted nothing more than to tell all three of her children to go to bed because it was late—so late that it was way past their bedtime—but the matriarch didn’t. Couldn’t. Not with the candle there to remind her that her husband, who’d been so excited to be a father, wasn’t there and that she was—that she was the only parent they had and they needed her to do all the things she and Pedro had planned.

Which meant that if the triplets wanted a bedtime story, they were going to get one. Even if Alma was beyond exhausted from trying to manage the town and three now superpowered children (one who could heal via food and needed supervision anytime she wanted to use her gift, one whose emotions controlled the weather, and one rat loving seer who saw things no child should) all by herself.

But nobody had to know that.

No, it would just be her and Casita’s little secret. 

One of the many secrets Alma would never tell her children.

------------------------------------------------------------

Alma would never tell the triplets how their father had written stories for them that they would now never get to read because they’d been left behind when their family had fled from the burning remains of what had been their home. 

Would never tell them how Pedro had run a shop that he had planned to hand down to them and their children and their children’s children, or that he’d had a brother named Benito who’d worked at the shop with him who had been so excited to be a tío that he’d fallen out the window and dropped a hammer on his foot when trying to make them their first toys. 

Alma would never tell Pepa how she’d gotten her red hair from Pedro’s mother, Rosa, and her temper from her own mother, Alba.

Would never tell Julieta how she could pass as her abuela Alba’s twin.

She’d never tell Bruno how he has his abuelos’ (Andre and Fernando) black curls and how he reminded her of his grandfathers, his grandmother Rosa, and both her brother, Raimi, and Pedro’s brother, Hernado. 

She’d never tell her babies of where they’d came from or how their father, Pedro, hadn’t been the only one to die so they could escape. 

Bruno, Pepa, and Julieta would never know what they’d lost. 

Who’d they lost. 

They wouldn’t know of their tía Alejandra, who’d turned into a giant red panda and grabbed her sword and screamed at Alma and Pedro and Bentio and Raimi to go and take the niños.

They wouldn’t know of their grandparents who’d fallen behind in the crowd or their tíos who’d run off with their primas who weren’t that far in age from them. 

The Madrigal Triplets would grow up not knowing what their mother had lost and the secrets of the family would die with her, if Alma had anything to say about it, and they would be safe. Even if Alma had to give smile and grit her teeth the whole way, and appease the village on her deathbed. 

They deserved that much.

They deserved more than that, actually, but Alma couldn't bring back the dead so they'd all have to settle for second best and hope that they were making Pedro proud.

🌻 gimme nonsense or gimme death

I have beef with pandas.

it all started several years ago when I was in college studying animal management, and my wildlife & conservation teacher brought up how much he was annoyed at them. And y'know what? I agree.

Did you know pandas are still carnivores? Yes, they eat bamboo, and ONLY bamboo, but their teeth and their digestive systems? Still designed to consume a mainly meat diet. But noooo, they gotta eat bamboo, something that is SO LOW IN ENERGY FOR THEM THAT THEY HAVE TO EAT A TON OF IT!

Wanna know something else about them? The females are only in heat for 2 - 3 days out of the whole year. Which would be fine if these giant vegan carnivores were social BUT THEY'RE NOT. THEY ARE MAINLY SOLITARY. So the males have to roam around looking for a female, and if they catch her scent and she's in heat, they better find her before her heat ends, which it already could've by the time he's on her trail, because again. 2 - 3 DAY WINDOW TO FUCK. IF THEY MISS IT, THEY GOTTA WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR.

BUT THERE'S MORE.

This is better known knowledge, but they SUCK at breeding even in captivity. 24/7 access to each other and they can still fail to breed, for no other reason than they seem to be clueless about what they're supposed to do. So they have to be shown VIDEOS of other pandas fucking so they get the idea. PORN FOR PANDAS, EXCEPT IT'S MORE LIKE AN INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO BECAUSE THEY SUCK.

BUT YES, THERE'S EVEN MORE.

Like most bears, it's not too uncommon for pandas to have more than 1 cub. In fact, about 50% of all panda pregnancies result in twins. Problem is tho, their diet is so shit, they can't support more than 1 cub at a time, so a mother panda will choose to feed just 1 cub and leave the other to STARVE TO DEATH! YES. STARVE. TO. DEATH.

Her favorite child isn't even safe though, because pandas seem to be clumsier than so many other bears and it's happened before that a mother panda will just... roll over and crush her newborn. There is a reason baby pandas are usually separated in zoos to be raised by keepers. It's because pandas are not great parents.

And somehow, SOMEHOW, this walking disaster of an animal is like the goddamn symbol of animal conservation. It's a sick joke. I mean, they're recovering a bit, but they DO NOT HELP AT ALL BECAUSE THEY'RE SO FUCKING BAD AT THE WHOLE REPRODUCTION SHIT.

And that is why i have beef with them.

[certifiedunicornhater]

decided to just post the rest of my unicorn wars ocs all together so i dont clog the tag up!! ill put a little bit of information about them below <3 azucar no longer belongs to me and the two twins were scrapped designs but i dont feel like deleting them off the canvas haha

picante - certified strong lady! she’s motherly towards the soldiers she trains and takes no shit from anyone, she’s determined to rise in ranks so she can put an end to the corruption from her superiors. picante is patient, but when she gets mad she completely loses her head. she’s not very religious, but still occasionally prays & attends church! she dies in the holy war by being blown up by the cannon

amargo - behind the serious face he puts during training, amargo is a giant goofball who loves slacking off almost as much as he loves getting drunk with girls. he’s an excellent soldier and known by his superiors, who give him special treatment since they like him. amargo is known for taking people back to his room and flirting with everyone, though he does this as a horrible coping mechanism from the issues he’s facing in the military. he’s dulces cousin and was apart of his og group (for context: before being moved to flors unit, dulces was apart of another one where everyone minus him was killed on a mission). amargo died by being gored by a unicorn in the forest during his mission, he survived a little bit but with no medical aid he passed away.

peluche, aka "payaso" - another member of dulces og unit! peluche was nicknamed payaso by their fellow comrades due to their face markings resembling the makeup of a clown. they’re from a rich family and take pride in it, they’re not a bad soldier either! they’re a natural born leader, but isn’t taken very seriously. payaso loves organizing everything and aids in keeping everyone on track! they die in the forest, similarly to amargo, they die due to being impaled by a unicorn (also tiny note! they’re not out to their comrades, so others use he/him for them)

last but not least, chico, aka chiquito: the shortest fella, yet the one with the biggest temper! as you may have noticed, he’s not even a bear, he’s a red panda (they used to be classified as bears and i thought it’d be silly to have one in the military haha)! chico, mostly known as chiquito due to his height, was also apart of dulces og unit. to sum it up, he has a horrible napoleon complex and has a reputation for getting into fights with other soldiers. he has a good amount of knowledge when it comes to explosives and he’s also skilled when it comes to combat. chiquito is killed by a unicorn like his other two comrades.

if you read this far wowie!! thank you, i hope you enjoyed learning about my silly bears <3

[rainshell]

In continuation of these:

Lucifer(and the whole idea behind this),Mammon, Levi, Satan, Asmo, Belphie, Diavolo, Barbatos, Luke, Simeon, Solomon, Thirteen, Mephistopheles, Raphael

Beel next, not making this guy a bear from the beginning seems like a missed opportunity since he is already a giant teddy bear. Sure, lion can work to some degree, but I still made him a bear more precisely a sloth bear. It was surprisingly hard to find a species that fits Beel since most bears are aggressive and I wanted something not that violent for this cinnamon roll. So in the end it was either the sloth bear or the panda and I think sloth bear just fit better. One despite their names they aren't lazy and are more chill compared to other bears + the sloth part of the name fit so well with the fact that his twin is Belphie.

Notes about the design:

-his demon marks are a permanent feature. I just liked how the stripes looked on him.

-incredibly fluffy

GERMANY: Twin pandas celebrate fourth birthday with cake at Berlin Zoo [MUTE]

A set of twin pandas have celebrated their fourth birthday with a cake at the zoo where they were born in Berlin, Germany. Pit and Paule made history in 2019 as the first giant pandas to be born in Germany. They are also known by their Chinese names, Meng Xiang and Meng Yuan. To celebrate their fourth birthday last Thursday, staff at the zoo presented the pair with a cake made of snow and fruit.…

[pansexualkiba]

@panda-monium64 okay work sucked so let's go onto our next part! cause i like talking about my touhou ocs yknow

THIS IS PART 5 OF A SERIES.

TOUHOU NINGYOUSEI ~ FALLING OBJECT WAR

I think the fun part of every "war" plot I have (which is an astonishing two! this is the first one) is just. Attacking the final boss before the war can ever begin. It's EXTREMELY funny to me. Anyways, between CE and FOW, HSiFS got its full release, and the CE characters were actually based on a prediction on the use of the jade character in Tenkuushou - which is why its basis is crystals and why Eternity is a main character. Basically, my prediction was the final boss of that game was going to be a Fairy, because that would've been dope.

Okina's cool, tho.

I bring all this up because you're going to see a bit of influence in this. But just know that I decided "I don't have enough unrelated randos" and I went and put in THREE whole unrelated gorls.

Anyways, Plot: A giant Thing has crashed somewhere in Gensokyo! This happened in the middle of the night, so it's already the next day. Basically, just go and see what's going on! ...But, there's a weird feeling in the air. It's almost similar to the Miracle Mallet's energy...

Yeah somehow I ended up cribbing DDC's plot. The final boss should meet Seija...

ANIMIA Youkai of Aura Species: Youkai (Formerly human) Ability: Capable of reading auras A youkai born from a human. Because she's been around this long, it's near impossible to get rid of her. She runs a business as a humble fortuneteller. Because she doesn't eat her human clients, she's rather weak. Using her ability to read aura, she can view the emotions and general energies from people and locations. Any correct fortunes she tells are from sheer luck. Recently, she's seen an indescribable aura emanating from the hills, so she rushed to tell someone.

Hey youma fortuneteller from FS: git gud. Animia's kind of an inside brick joke NO ONE is going to get: a long while back, I decided to try and give the PC-98 characters their abilities. Animia's aura reading is based on what I dubbed as Orange's ability: aura manipulation. Basically, Animia and Orange are similar in that they're just complete random girls who happened to be in the way. The protag doesn't even listen to Animia's report... Well, such is the life of a first-stage boss.

KAZUSA IRIGUCHI Double-Speaking, Double-Tongued Villager Species: Futakuchi-onna Ability: Capable of having a long tongue A futakuchi-onna that lives among humans. Her lies are amazingly believable, and this is how she has evaded detection for so long. She constantly gets hungry, but she can't always eat. Thus, her second mouth has developed an extremely long tongue. Despite her condition, she enjoys caring for her twin sons, and runs an inn near the edge of town. Being a youkai, she was instantly disturbed by the crash, and went out to do some investigating of her own.

A completely unrelated girl! Also a canonical mother. We support milfs going out and shooting down baddies. I really have nothing to say about her, good OR bad, she's just here to be around- OH! So, what that last sentence means is, I think I meant to say that, since she's not really a strong youkai to begin with, the weird energy emanating from the crash site empowered her to second-stage level. Then again, I don't think I actually was thinking that far ahead when I made her. Ah well.

AKAME UNMARU Gazing Doll of Best Wishes Species: Doll (Daruma) Ability: Capable of creating eyes A daruma doll that was given life. Created for surveillance and reconnaissance for her somewhat lazy master, she was sent to survey the Human Village. However, due to being extremely easy to distract, she was instead attracted to the Myouren Temple, where she took up residence as an apostle and guard. To help with her duties, she can create eyes. These eyes are linked directly to her, and there's no limit to how many she can create. The overload may be a problem, though. Due to her young age and inexperience, she was handily defeated, and gave out information on her creator almost instantly.

I think she has the best stage and boss theme names yet (Walking the Step to Khembalung; Looking Upon Works of Despair ~ Daru-magic Eyes). Akame is so fucking fun and I kinda wanna do more with her. Plus, I don't think I've seen like, a daruma-based Touhou OC yet? If there is one, I wanna compare notes. Anyways, she's actually directly related to the plot, and can be considered a war deserter. Pog! I like her a lot. She returns later as a midboss, but by that point, it's too late for her creator.

RYUUSHI TEIKIATSU Sickle-Minded Bandit Species: Kamaitachi Ability: Capable of creating tornadoes A kamaitachi who ambushes various travelers for valuables. She herself has no use for valuables, but she adores things that sparkle, so she enthusiastically attacks travelers who carry anything remotely shiny. By first using her tornado creation to confound and injure her prey, she then robs them blind and slinks back into the night. This time, though, she's bitten off more than she can chew. Overall, she has no relation to the crash. She simply happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

UNRELATED GIRL! At least we're on the right path, but what is this girl doing...? Well, she's a kamaitachi. I don't really think there's much else to talk about with her. Frankly, I'm surprised we don't have a kamaitachi in the series proper already. That's it! <<Zun... Zun... I'm speaking to you via telepathy... Put a kamaitachi girl in an official manga...>>

NENDO AYATSURI Silk-Weaving Doll of Patterns Species: Doll (Bisque) Ability: Capable of manipulating patterns MOKUSAI AYATSURI Wool-Weaving Doll of Disguise Species: Doll (Ball-Joint) Ability: Capable of copying faces A pair of dolls created for tactics and espionage, respectively. Nendo is a Bisque type, and Mokusai is a Ball-Jointed type. Though they can be considered sisters, neither one thinks of the other as a sister. Nendo, despite her stronger ability, is physically weaker than Mokusai. Mokusai, likewise, is worse at danmaku but physically stronger than Nendo. Thus, the two work together to cover each others' weakness. They dote on Akame, despite her having gone rogue. The three were once regular dolls before being given life by their master for various purposes. Both are also apparently extremely good at textile work.

This is where Akame makes her return, but more importantly! The Ayatsuri girls (they aren't sisters)! Nendo and Mokusai might seem like Satono and Mai lite, but really it'd be more reasonable to call them analogous to the Tsukumos. They're even animated objects! Nendo being physically weaker than Mokusai is a reference to how bisque dolls are like, STUPID fragile. However, the ability to manipulate patterns is CRAZY broken in a bullet hell. So it cancels out, perhaps? Mokusai's ability is gonna get cribbed later by another character, but I've had like thirty precipication-based characters, it's fine.

KLARA GIDAYUU Mage of the Mystery Falling Object Species: Magician Ability: Capable of animating objects A magician who inhabits the Doll Citadel. Having built the Doll Citadel herself after hearing the plight of Medicine Melancholy, she animated Nendo, Mokusai, and Akame for various tasks. However, she felt as though their powers alone wouldn't be able to overthrow humankind. Thus, she attempted to animate her spellbook. This backfired tremendously, and it caused the crash, a fallen object that impacted the Doll Citadel, blowing it to pieces and releasing an incredible amount of energy across Gensokyo. As this was magic intended to overthrow the strong, it empowered the weaker of Gensokyo's inhabitants. Klara herself survived, but she has no idea what, exactly, she called down from the heavens. She was about to investigate, herself, when the heroine arrived...

I love how I call Klara the only survivor when. It was just her in the Citadel. Anyways, it turns out the plot is Medicine Melancholy's fault! Also, Klara was made before Sword and Shield was announced - I THINK USUM was the hot new thing at the time? - so she has no relation to the girl who tries to poison you (which does, in fact, make the Medicine and Klara friendship VERY funny). Anyways, I never actually settled on who would be playable in this, but I think Alice should be playable now if only because I think it'd be funny for her to immediately start hounding Klara after the game's over. "Your dolls are sentient. Teach Me This Shit." I have never played The Shattered Sky, btw. I don't even know if that's the plot. Speaking of!

METZTLI The Unknown Mystery Faller Species: Unknown (Alien) Ability: Capable of copying genes, creating metals An extraterrestrial life form that inhabits the Fallen Object. Their form is an illusion, created by copying the genetic formula of other beings and imitating their traits at will. Due to Earth's atmosphere and Gensokyo's magic, they have grown immensely powerful, but they themself are prone to illness. Through unknown means, they are capable of creating metals of unknown properties. The use of these metals is extremely flexible, which makes them valuable to Klara's war effort. Metztli is a quick learner, having learned the native language quite easily, but they do get stumped by idiomatic expressions and sometimes says things amazingly out-of-place.

ALIEN, ANATA WA ALIEN... So, a note on the name: it's a LONG, long running joke from my high school years to give my alien characters Maya names. I'm not sure WHY, but I think it's because I wanted my oc duo to have matching A-Z names, and I settle on Atl and Zyanya. Metztli is a reference to that. But one could also, like... Make an Ancient Aliens joke? And they'd be right, because this would make her a Hispanic alien, and as we all know, aliens don't like white people. Anyways, I call her indispensable to Klara's manufacturing, but the two have never fucking met, and if Metztli is gonna have her way, they never will meet. Metztli is so cool tbh, I just wish I thought the name through better.

This is such a nothing plot, really. Like, I call WBZ a nothing plot, but this one really is just nothing. It's essentially DDC2. The best thing to come out of it is Akame and Metztli, and Metztli is just sorta. Lounging around inside her rock. It's not even a spaceship, it's a rock. Girl is just outright a mutated space virus (who isn't immune to any Earth illnesses. Poor girl's about to get so many strains of the flu.). As for the other characters, once they manage to dispel the magic, Animia and Kazusa go back to their daily lives (with each other...? Old woman yuri let's go), Akame, Nendo, and Mokusai just sorta. Pal around with Medicine while Klara seethes in the background, Ryuushi starts slumming it in Marisa's house, and Metztli, like I said, is just in the rock. There's this kinda stupid little idea of her meeting Nue and Mamizou, but that's whenever that happens.

And all is calm... Until a strange-looking girl who feels vaguely familiar appears at the shrine.
