can you expand on the giraffes not having long necks please?
Mammals are developmentally regulated to only have about 7 neck vertebrae - some mammals break that but it takes a lot of evolution to do so, because the developmental lock is strong
giraffes wanted to reach up high for food, but couldn't break that
so instead of adding more neck vertebrae - the true definition of a long neck -
they made their neck vertebrae bigger
here is a giraffe neck. You can see the seven, very large neck vertebrae
here is a truly long necked animal, a swan. you can see the vertebrae are many, many, MANY more than seven
here you can see a large number of vertebrae in the neck of a nother truly long necked animal, Mamenchisaurus (also, notice the similarities between the Mamenchisaurus neck vertebrae and the swan neck vertebrae!)
Sooooo yeah. Giraffes don't have long necks. This is also why the movement of their necks is so inflexible - they literally have fewer bones to move about

Terfism is targeted at radicalising older-middle-aged women in order to sever the otherwise naturally-forming bond that makes trans women and older-middle-aged cis women the strongest of comrades via our shared interests and experiences.
#That woman on Twitter who started squaring up to Julie Bindel because a nice trans lady had given her a neck pillow on a long haul flight#is actually God's perfect trans ally#she's the protoform and the poisonous seepage of terfery has denied us the ecosystem she's meant to exist in

Are geese (and other long neck birds) related to brontosauruses? Please say yes
All modern birds (Neornithines) are equally related to Non-Neornithine dinosaurs
but, geese and long necked birds have long necks similar to sauropods, in that they increase the vertebral count and have true long necks
meanwhile, giraffes don't actually have long necks

Kintsugi is the art of decorating your scars with pieces of Agni.
In the Fire Nation, the amount of golden marks are a sign of status. Only the Royal Family can afford to seal every single wound with Kintsugi. Such is the weight of this tradition that, among the ones with Agni's blood, it is the highest mark of dishonor to have a natural scar, for it proves you aren't worthy of the privilege.
After the Agni Kai, Ozai forbid Zuko's scar to be sealed with Kintsugi. The boy wasn't worth his title, his traditions or his pride. Zuko would be broken, but he wouldn't be beautiful. Not anymore.
(And sometimes it's easier to pretend he never was)

It's better than admitting he isn't worthy of the gold in his body#It's a long road to acceptance but the Gaang is there to help him move forward and love himself as he is#It's kind of their pet project#Anyways this Kintsugi-in-ATLA concept is up for sale :)#I'd really like to know what you guys think of it. How it can be expanded and stuff#And how it can affect Zuko's character and already low self-esteem as a result
