unironically thinking of starting a book club where we’ll read nothing but ineffable husbands ao3 fanfiction

what was the other theory?

It...may be best left unsaid.

no but the erasure of brienne's canonical features must be studied. what's with this chronic incapability of accepting that ur faves dont have to be hot in this fandom like. brienne being seen as ugly and unfeminine is pretty integral to her character theres a reason she's mocked as the beauty theres a reason why she started rejecting femininity and feels hurt by it. so much of the misogyny she faces stems from her not fitting the westerosi ideal by not being 'womanly enough', by being too muscular and flat chested and tall and having brittle hair and broad 'manly' features and thats the tragedy of it. brienne shouldn't have to be othered by people for things she cant control but she is and that refusal to accept brienne is what shaped her into what she is when we meet her in a clash of kings. the moment u go 'umm actually ☝️ shes only ugly by westeros standards she wouldn't be seen as ugly today' is when u miss the point. modern day brienne wouldnt fit our standards either because her entire story begins with her being different and an outlier and to keep brienne of tarth as herself u have to keep that too otherwise its not her, its an oc masquerading as brienne the blue

In case you haven't heard yet, Colossal, the biotech company that earlier this year showed off their "woolly mouse," has announced that they de-extincted "dire wolves." I put this in quotes, because just like with the mice, they didn't truly bring them back (nothing can actually do that, yet) or even really make them.

What they actually did was kind of neat; they copied genes sequenced from dire wolf DNA and inserted them into the grey wolf genome (replacing grey wolf DNA, as they said gray wolves shared a significant percentage of their genome (which isn't saying a TON considering how much the human and chimp genome have in common without being nearly the same animals, but it's better than taking, say, a turtle's genome or something else super unrelated), to create a wolf with genes that dire wolves had.

And while that's not really the same thing as building a dire wolf completely from scratch, so to speak, and it's not really "cloning" them either, it's still pretty cool science, and just like with the woolly mouse, the work (ie, altering/editing multiple genes at once from sequenced DNA of deceased individuals) COULD apply to conservation of actual species (for example, having the ability to widen the genome of remaining breeding individuals of an endangered species, with DNA from deceased individuals). I'm not sure if it IS applying to other species right now (at least not through this company, despite their stated claims to want to), but it is one of their stated goals and it would work.

Also, they're pretty cute

As they were born in October 2024, they now have their own 2,000 acre reserve where Colossal is monitoring them closely. There are two males and one female, but as they've stated they do not have plans to breed them, I'm not sure where the female is being kept in relation to the males, but I suspect she's the solo-wolf pictured, vs the pics of the pair.

Anyway, that's all happening.

This has been sitting in my drafts for so long, and it’s b/c backgrounds are so hard to draw for me lol

Gen obsessed with how.. *dead* your Jason's color pallete is. Like, that's corpse pale right there. Not a spec of blood left flowing in there (also father Todd's skin being full of color in comparison is a nice touch)

THANK YOU I love making him look a bit ghoulish. Guy who's not supposed to be alive but yes he is. no he isn't <3
