Ever get hit with a ship post that makes you go "Well that was unexpected"?

Like, let's say you thought it was just gonna be platonic but then it turns out it's romantic? Between two characters who just... yeah...

Back on my shit YET AGAIN!!!

[ronkeyroo]

friends, Id love to plug in my Ko Fi while I try to sort things out and take care of myself through this sensitive period. I’m determined to keep pushing some work to cover for the medical expenses but any passive income on the sidelines while Im letting my body rest will be a huge help ;; If you enjoy my artwork shenanigans and wanna share some support, feel free to toss a coin or two?

For any fandom folk that would want to see more art of your favorite blorbo’s, any donations over 30$ will be rewarded with some more art of whichever blorbo we’re hyping over together, I cant promise something too big but i want to leave some fun options for those who would like to receive some goodies in return ;;

Thank you for everyone who pitches in, as well as for those who cannot afford to and just opt to share this post around - I’m just glad I can have this space with you where art can carry and support us through as both artist and audience ♥

Found out there's a subreddit dedicated to v3gan pets. And I don't mean rabbits or iguanas. Nor dogs or cats with severe allergies who need an alternative diet just to stay alive. But honest to God, by choice, no medical issues in sight, feeding your carnivorous cat and halfway carnivorous/omnivorous dog a fully plant-based diet because it's 'the most ethical way to have pets'.

They site studies that have been noted for selection bias, tiny sample sizes, and literally just being polling data on owner's perception of their pets health which doesn't tell you fucking anything about what kind of damage making a carnivore digest plant matter every day of its life can do to its organs. There was even a post where someone asked why they didn't get an actual herbivore as a pet instead of forcing an unnatural diet on an animal that CANT SYNTHESIZE THE REQUIRED PROTEINS TO LIVE ERGO WHY IT EATS MEAT to live on a v3gan diet and some motherfucker said 'weh, I think rabbits need more space than a dog or a cat.'

A rabbit? A domesticated bunny? A domesticated bunny that weighs six pounds and was bred to be an indoor pet after centuries of being domesticated orignally to be food for monks during Lent THAT RABBIT NEEDS MORE SPACE THAN YOUR FUCKING 70LB HUNTING DOG YOU REFUSE TO FEED PROPERLY???

Not only do these people not know how studies work or how animal digestion works, they also just don't understand animals at all. Do no harm unto animals unless it hurts my feelings that can't accept animals eat other animals naturally and often cruelly then I will wreck havoc on this cats organs for its whole artificially shortened life to make myself feel morally superior.

Fuck entirely off and leave your animals in the hands of someone who will actually care about them instead of trying to have an animal abuse pissing contest with other v3gans.

I think having a crush on my roommate would make things easier. I could just say "it's just the chemicals in ur brain bro it doesn't mean anything just go to bed" but no I actually like her as a person and she's amazing so missing her just hurts.

Having thoughts about the walrus fairy poll (a dangerous pass time, I know) and I'm trying to find a way to explain like... how a small inconsequential thing can be the harbinger of something more significant, and that that's where true comedy/terror/wonder lies.

A big part of my sense of humour is 'implication'. When playing Cards Against Humanity it's basically a guaranteed laugh to play a card that just says 'a hat full of shit' but I find it funnier to play something that you have to think about for a fraction of a second before 'oh god no!' as you realise what's being implied. (Nothing against the cards that say things like 'a monkey with a huge dick' - for one of my friends those are her absolute FAVOURITE cards. That's exactly her style of humour. Love that about her.)

But the idea that a fairy at your doorstep is 'easier' than a walrus at your doorstep doesn't track with me.

A walrus on your doorstep brings up so many questions, of course. How did it get here? How did it knock? Why didn't anyone notice, or did they notice? What's going on???

But even being able to engage with this bizarre situation is what makes it attainable. Yes it COULD have walked (dragged?) itself all the way here from the sea. Yes it could have escaped from a zoo or unethical neighbour. Yes it could have knocked on the door by messing around with it until it sounded like a knock that got your attention - or someone else knocked for it and then ran away and hid in a bush. Ridiculous - sure - but something I can engage with.

A fairy at the door? Oh easy, it's just a fairy, and they can knock.

...except it's not actually that simple.

I have to argue with my mum about bigfoot sometimes (long story) and she tries to Occam's Razor me with this:

"You walk outside and there's footsteps from a bigfoot in the snow. Now what's more likely? That a person went out of their way to make fake-bigfoot shoes so they could leave footprints in the snow, and was so careful about it that they didn't leave any trace of their deception, and correctly matched the stride and weight of a much larger creature, and blah blah all these other complicated things they'd need to do, and no one saw them do it...... or that it was just a bigfoot going for a walk in the snow? Occam's Razor says the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. So which of these two is simpler? I creature going for a walk or a human messing around with an extremely complicated and well executed prank?"

The answer is that a human doing it is simpler. Even though it sounds more complicated. Even though it takes longer to explain. Even though it requires an element of luck to pull off. It is still the simpler explaination. Why? BECAUSE THE BIG PICTURE IMPLICATIONS.

If a bigfoot 'just went for a walk' it certainly sounds like a simpler explanation. Except that bigfoots don't exist. So if they did then we need to explain why one's never been seen, or heard, or caught. Why there's nothing that's disrupting the ecosystem like a bigfoot creature would. No plants or animals are getting eaten by this undetected creature. Why there's no hair, or poop, or DNA. Why there's no bones or fossils or corpses. Why there's no 'marks on trees' or whatever else things an animal/creature leaves behind when it lives somewhere. And why following the footprints into the wood never leads to finding a goddamn bigfoot at the end of the trail.

That's how I feel about 'a fairy on my doorstep is simpler than a walrus' because it's not, it's actually extremely more complicated than finding a walrus. Yes, even though the walrus has to do all this complicated stuff to be able to show up and knock on my door. It's not NEARLY as world-shattering as what finding a fairy on the doorstep would imply about reality as I understand it.

You're goddamn right I'd be surprised to find a fairy - especially in knowing that that's what it is.

That's right: I'm asking how do I know it's a fairy? Do I just know? Do I just instinctively know what it is upon seeing it? How could I? Even with stories and media painting a picture for me of what a fairy might look like, why in the world would I know AND BELIEVE that the thing on my doorstep is a fairy? And yet apparently I do. I open the door and there is a fairy and I know this and believe this. I know and believe this as surely as if there were a walrus on my doorstep - a walrus being a thing I have never seen in real life, only in records and art, and yet if I met one I'd know it and believe it - you're telling me the same is true of meeting a fairy on my doorstep? THE IMPLICATIONS! Is the fairy affecting my brain in a 'BE NOT AFRAID' kind of way? Is the existance and recognition of fairies actually already embedded in my brain? Maybe I have seen them before. Maybe I've seen them and they made me forgot, but now I see one again I instantly know what it is. If there's one fairy are there more fairies? Where are they in the ecosystem? Why is there no evidence of that? Do they exist outside the ecosystem? Is fairyland real? A reality seporate from our own where all the fairies live? That's a hell of a thought. Or is there actually a conspiracy to keep fairy existence a secret from regular people? Could such a thing work? Apparently it does work, because here's a goddamn fairy, they're real.

And on and on and on and on the horrifying implications, they don't stop, they keep spilling like a waterfall as all understanding of the world is washed away before the witnessing of this fairy on my doorstep.

Oh a walrus? Yeah, that's strange. It probably escaped from a zoo. How did it knock? I dunno, maybe they trained it at the zoo.
