little stupid intro thing bc im super bored!!

[yippee-optimistically]

from this concept:

I now have a very cool, very soft, and entirely hand-made 2017 Louie plush !!!!!!

Very silly tail ⬇️

He has a completely functional pull-apart jacket zipper !!!

Also completely functional: the pockets 😼

And here is also a closeup on the little phone

He is made up almost entirely of fleece, all hand-sewn. His shirt and some of his eyes are felt (also the scar on his foot). He's stuffed with polyfill . He's weighed down with lentils 😭 His pattern is made custom by me :) I'm not sure exactly how long he took, but I'd guess some amount of months. Maybe 2, but maybe only a few weeks of collective actual work days

He does also have a dog toy type squeaker in him

watching the first episode of the 2017 webdrama and then skimming through the sanitised 2021 remake (starring whr - fun fact) is the same bewildering and depressing experience of watching addicted 2016 then moving on to what SWM 2023 did to the story in the process of what it believed to be "fixing" the problematics of its canon

World Lion Day

World  Lion Day on August 10 aims to raise awareness about the plight faced by  lions. Scientifically known as ‘Panthero Leo,’ lions are one of the  most well-known and popular animal species out there. They are called  the ‘Kings of the Jungle’ due to their arresting and fearsome  personalities created by their great bodies and heavy, shiny manes. A  lion’s powerful roar is second to none, and it can be heard even five  miles away. Owing to the pop culture icons like Simba from “The Lion  King”, lions are also loved by children. However, while lions existed in  large populations 100 years ago, today, their numbers are just below  50,000 worldwide as a result of poaching and hunting. World Lion Day,  therefore, brings attention to this endangered species by raising funds  and amping up protective measures.

History of World Lion Day

The  first World Lion Day came into being in 2013. It was headed by Dereck  and Beverly Joubert, a couple who are passionate about preservation and  wild cats. After realizing that lion populations have drastically  decreased worldwide, the Jouberts approached “National Geographic” for  the brand’s help. Forming a partnership with them, the couple came up  with the Big Cat Initiative (B.C.I.) in 2009. The B.C.I.’s main goal  would be to protect and preserve the remaining lion species in the  world. While aspects like deforestation, climate change, and human  intervention may have impacted lion populations, studies have shown that  their extremely low numbers may also have to do with ice ages and  natural environmental disasters that have led them to becoming secluded  in only a few countries of the world, namely India and South Africa. To  date, the B.C.I. has made substantial leaps, from getting 150+ grant  awards to reducing almost 3,000 threats to 3,000 wild cats to removing  13,000 life-threatening snares.

The lion comes from the ‘Felidae’  family of cats, and it is considered to be an apex predator. It is the  second-largest cat weighing around 300 to 600 pounds, with the first  being its cousin, the tiger. An average lion’s body is muscular with a  short round head and ears, and a tufty tail. Its sex can be identified  through its heavy and luscious mane, which are absent on lionesses.  Lions also happen to be the only cats who roam around in large groups  known as prides. Scientists believe that lions do so because it is  easier to catch prey in the wild. Their natural habitats are savannas  and grasslands. You will most likely find a pride of lions near water  bodies as they strategically wait for prey to come there for a drink and  then pounce on them.

World Lion Day timeline

1758 ‘Felis Leo’ is Coined

Carl Linnaeus, a Swedish zoologist and botanist, invents ‘Felis Leo’ as the scientific name of lions.

1996 Vulnerable Species

The  lion is placed on the Red List of the International Union for  Conservation of Nature due to its African population decreasing by 45%  since 1990.

2009 Big Cat Initiative is Formed

Dereck and Beverly Joubert, in partnership with “National Geographic”, start the Big Cat Initiative to save lions.

2013 The First World Lion Day

The B.C.I. announces the first World Lion Day in order to include the world in lion preservation efforts.

How to Observe World Lion Day

Vow to protect lions

Refuse to buy lion products

Donate your assets

No  matter how you choose to spend the day, make sure it is worthwhile by  vowing to protect lions. Lions are natural predators that are necessary  to keep prey populations in check. Apart from such environmental  benefits, lions are extremely beautiful and majestic animals that have  ruled the pop culture scene for a long time. So, let’s take a vow to be  there for them.

Whether  you are looking to buy a new bag or coat, or any other similar  paraphernalia, make sure you know where it is coming from. Refuse to buy  lion products (or other animal skin products) to reduce sales and  market value.

Time  and money are the most valuable assets you can give in today’s world.  Look out for national and international organizations that protect wild  cats, and invest in them by donating your money to the cause. If you  cannot donate, you can volunteer your time by either helping the  organizations with volunteer work or by promoting the organizations in  your circles.

5 Facts About Lions That Will Blow Your Mind

Younglings have spots on their skin

Manes change over time

Cubs are raised together

Females are mightier hunters

Heavy and long sleepers

Young lion cubs are born with spots on their coats, but these tend to fade away as they grow older.

A lion’s mane will change color, going from light to dark, as it grows older.

Lion cubs are generally brought up together by all the females in a pride.

Lionesses are better hunters than their male counterparts, and it is for this reason that they hunt 80% to 90% of the time.

Lions will sleep for at least 20 hours a day.

Why World Lion Day is Important

It’s a celebration of lions

It’s a reminder about the importance of preservation

It’s a celebration of the natural environment

For  most of us, “The Lion King” was a huge part of our childhood. We  rejoiced at the birth of Simba but also grieved with him over his  father’s death. Holding such sweet memories and images, we cannot let  the beloved animal go extinct. Let’s come together on August 10 to  protect lions from all dangers.

Preservation  has become a necessity, more now than ever. We cannot hope to live on a  peaceful and resourceful Earth if we keep depleting it of its natural  resources, be it water, fuel, or animals. We must preserve and protect  the Earth for ourselves as well as future generations.

The  natural environment has given us countless gifts. From food for taste  and survival to medicinal properties to inspiration for technological  inventions, nature has continued to reward us since time immemorial. We  must therefore honor, respect, and celebrate it.

First Line Tag

Rules: Post the first lines of your last 10 fics posted to AO3. (Sort by date posted.) If you have less than 10 fics posted, post what you have! Make a new post.

1. Poppies (Pomona Sprout/Poppy Pomfrey)

The late August sun filtered through the glass, warming the humid air of the greenhouse. Even with the doors open at both ends to catch a breeze, it was too hot. Sweat beaded Pomona Sprout's brow and ran down her sides under her robes as she consulted her smudged list.

2. Monster Girls (Olympe Maxime/Apolline Delacour)

The stables at Beauxbatons Academy of Magic were airy and spacious. Mountain air mingled with the smoldering, earthy scent of the school's herd of rare Abraxan horses, and the heady fumes of liquor that rose from their troughs. Olympe Maxime loved them more than anywhere else on Earth. That was where she went when she needed to cry.

3. Both Or Neither (Dean Thomas/Seamus Finnigan)

Dean leaned on the stone railing of the bridge, snowflakes swirling around him, catching and melting slowly on the wool of his winter coat. In the distance, the great doors of Hogwarts Castle opened, and bundled-up students began to stream out, hastening down the snowy path toward Hogsmeade, where the Hogwarts Express waited to take them home for the winter holidays.

4. An Accident of the Stars (Lavender Brown/Parvati Patil)

Lavender Brown had expected to feel a lot of things when the war was done. The euphoria of victory. Relief that it was over. Fierce pride in herself and her friends for the part they had played in defeating Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Excitement for the future. Now the war was over, and so was everything else. Lavender lay in her bed, staring up at the ceiling and trying very hard to feel nothing at all.

5. Healing Hands (Pomona Sprout/Poppy Pomfrey)

Professor Pomona Sprout hid a grimace of discomfort. Just because she was not feeling her best did not mean her students needed to know about it. She glanced at her pocket watch. Ten more minutes. Her interminable day was mercifully almost over.

6. Discards: Valentine's Day (Remus Lupin/Sirius Black)

Contentment was a relatively new sensation for Remus Lupin. This was not the first morning he had awoken with a sense of wellbeing; such occasions had become frequent in recent weeks, since he had started spending nights in his boyfriend's bed.

7. All the Things That You're Supposed to Feel (Schitt's Creek: Patrick Brewer/David Rose)

Patrick Brewer smiled and shook his head. He had been smiling since he played back the first voicemail left by David Rose. His amusement only increased with each rambling message, tangent, and explanation of David's plans for the General Store. Now four or five messages deep, Patrick could almost see David's facial expressions and hand gestures as he spoke.

8. No Hands Below the Waist (Schitt's Creek: Patrick Brewer/David Rose)

David was still not sure how it had happened. Patrick wasn't even his type. OK, so he was all right in an unassuming, slightly nerdy, definitely-heterosexual way, but when it came to men, David's tastes had always run to self-assured guys who looked like well-toned lumberjacks, or drama-prone artistic types like himself. Patrick was nothing like that. He was something else entirely.

9. The Sheriff's Wrath (Rowan Hood: Tod/Rook)

The dream was of Rook. That was all Tod remembered. The damp patch spreading across the front of his nightshirt, and the echo of release fading from his loins told the rest. On the other side of the fire pit, his companion lay, still asleep on his pile of sheepskins. The gray pre-dawn light filtering into the small cavern was just enough for Tod to make out the shape of the young outlaw's body.

10. Discards: Commencement (Remus Lupin/Sirius Black)

"Sorry I'm late," said Lily. "Everything seems to take twice as long as usual these days, and then of course I couldn't find anywhere to park."

Sirius gave her a quick hug. "I'm just glad you managed to find me."

Was re-watching the bridge scene last night, and apparently I've always been so focused on the cigarette and Katya's watch (for obvious reasons) that it was the first time I noticed those two guys milling in the background are MORMON MISSIONARIES!!!!!

Me being me, I am both delighted to see this and also appalled at myself for not having noticed this before. My only excuse is that missionaries dressed/groomed slightly differently in the 1970s and the nametags were black on white instead of white on black, but it's not a great excuse because they didn't look that different.

Not ready to dig into what this means for the themes of the movie yet, but since nothing in Goncharov is accidental, it clearly means something. I replayed the scene a few more times and one of the missionaries is throwing something into the water and I want to say it's an apple, which would connect the scene back to Katya and Sofia's relationship and the obvious Edenic themes, but I think maybe I'm just letting my excitement get the best of me.

Honestly. Why do people watch Moffat things if they hate Moffat? Like, save your fucking time and don't go bother us in the tags

[sotteoks]

ah yes, it's that time of month where i reflect on how long i've been into kpop lol. im currently losing my mind bc i can't find the cd i bought that introduced me to kpop back in 2005/2006. like...it was basically a korean version of the 'now thats what i call music' cds with all the hits from that year or whatever. i found volume 27 of it on ebay but the tracklist has songs like gee by snsd and ah by after school and when those songs came out i was already pretty deep into my kpop phase lmfao. im fr stressing bout this because i had multiple volumes of this cd and i remember some of the songs I listened to but not all of them and i don't even remember which volume cd they were part of. plus it came with a dance cd and a ballad cd....i never listened to the ballad cds so i remember ZERO of those songs LOL

and to top it off, i still have literally never met anyone my age who got into kpop the same time i did or like listened to the same things i did. like i swear all of the kpop fans i met online back in the day were huge super junior or dbsk fans and were also teenagers already when i was still in elementary AHAHAHA i swear it was only after big bang, shinee and 2ne1 debuted i started meeting more people closer to my age who liked the same music as me.

New: Search operators for better searching!

We hear you, and we share your frustrations: it’s hard to find a specific post. You know it has a particular tag or phrase, and it was posted on this date, or at least, within a specific year. But you can't find it!

So, today, we’re excited to announce that you can use ✨ advanced search operators ✨ in the search bar now! You can now say potato from:staff year:2021 to easily enjoy that video of a potato being microwaved again.

Before we jump into the details, a couple of caveats to note:

These search operators are only available in the main Tumblr search bar. They don’t work in the search bar in individual blogs.

The search operators only work on posts created in 2017 or later.

OK! Let’s go explore these operators!

Exact phrase match

When you surround your query with regular double quotes (not curly quotes), it will match posts with that exact phrase in the post's text content, or that exact phrase as a tag.

For example, "chappell roan is roan of arc" matches posts with that exact phrase in the content, and also matches posts that have the exact tag #chappell roan is roan of arc.

Match operator

By default, the query matches the post on either the text or the tags.

You can use match:text to specify you want to search the post content, or match:tags to search the post tags. For example:

sword world match:text looks for posts with the words "sword" and "world" in the post content.

sword world match:tags looks for posts with the words "sword" and "world" in the post tags.

From operator

Use from:blog or from:@​blog to find only posts by a particular blog.

For example, halloween from:staff finds all posts by @staff that has the word "halloween" in the post content or tags.

Year operator

Use year:YYYY to find posts from a particular year.

For example, halloween year:2019 finds all posts from 2019 that has the word "halloween" in the post content or tags.

Date operator

Use date:YYYY-MM-DD to find posts from a particular date.

For example, halloween date:2019-10-08 finds all posts created on October 8, 2019 that has the word "halloween" in the post content or tags.

All together

You can combine all the tools above to form even more specific queries:

Congrats! You’re now a Tumblr search wizard! 🪄

Other syntax

As a reminder, you can already search by a tag, or by multiple tags:

Prefixing your query with # performs a tag search — that is, it will find posts with that exact tag. For example, #star wars will only return posts with the #star wars tag.

You can search for multiple tags at at time. For example, #star wars #art will find posts that are tagged with both the tag #star wars and the tag #art.

You can combine this with the new operators to find what you are looking for!

A guide on how to use the new operators has also been added to our Search and Filtering Basics Guide.

Tumblr Patio support

The enhanced syntax makes Tumblr Patio even more powerful. You can now open multiple search columns each with different fine-tuned queries that use the syntax above to get you customized feeds.

Feedback

We’d love to hear what you think! Please share your feedback in the replies and reblogs of this post, or by reaching out to Tumblr Support.
