#save the cheetah

[pixoplanet]

It's December 4th, 🐆 International Cheetah Day! On this day in 1976, a Cheetah cub named Khayam was born at Wildlife Safari, in Winston, Oregon, USA. Doctor Laurie Marker raised Khayam from a cub until its death in 1986. In 2010, she designated December 4th as International Cheetah Day, and the event has been growing by leaps and bounds ever since. 

Cheetahs used to roam everywhere from the southern tip of India across the Arabian Peninsula to the whole of Africa, but the 7,000 remaining Cheetahs are now limited to small fragmented areas in Africa and Iran. 

Cheetahs are carnivores and feed mostly on small antelope like gazelle and impala. They usually chase down their prey and then, as all big cats do, clamp down on the captured animal’s throat until it suffocates. 

Cheetahs have “tear marks” that run from the inside corners of their eyes down to the outside edges of their lips to help deflect sun glare from their eyes. 

A Cheetah cub has a mantle of long, tall hair on its back. This helps the cub blend into the tall grass while making it look much like a dangerous Honey Badger – an animal even lions and hyenas think twice about messing with. 

Cheetahs have long, muscular tails that help them keep their balance when they're running fast. The Cheetah is the world’s fastest land animal – it can run 110 kph (70 mph) – but it can't outrun extinction. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists the Cheetah's current status as "vulnerable." Our planet's Cheetah population has declined by 90% over the past 100 years, and I suspect it won't be long before they’re declared "endangered." Can you imagine our world without Cheetahs? Please help save them if you can. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

Playing pathfinder and what helps save the day is casting summon monster but its Flik from A Bug's Life and having him be addicted to opiates so he can actually do damage against the ghosts.

A true hero.

Hello,

How do you do ? I hope to be in a good condition.

This is my special campaign

We hope to help us by donating or sharing to others.

Every donation makes a different even if it a small.

As you know, the war began on October 7 and lasted ten months. During this period, we were unable to obtain food, drink, or treatment because we did not have money.

There is no source of income for the family at the present time, so we are unable to buy food, clean water, and medicine, especially after we are afflicted with the ongoing infectious diseases spread in the north like Hepatitis C disease.

Our house has been damaged a lot since the beginning of the war. We are from the north of Gaza and we are still in the north and have not displaced to the south. We displaced 10 times from place to another seeking to safety .

We hope for your help and support, even if only a little.

This is the link if you would to read our story well 👇👇

I am playing Spyro: Ripto's Rage for the first time and I'm not the biggest fan of the story

I don't know, it feels weak and rushed which works with the simpler objectives and lore given to us in the game before it, but not with this one, it's got such a big world with so much going on but the plot does not keep up with what it wants to be

I totally understand why this happened and it is a shame, but I think it can be easily fixed by fleshing out the characters around him and introducing a clearer objective for Spyro, that makes sense for his character and is also more fleshed out. Such as oh I don't know, proving himself and riling up people against an empire.

I wrote a conceptual introduction for this plot in Read More, enjoy

It's a normal day in the Dragonlands, where Spyro is organizing a pile of gems

Cameras: So, Spyro, you are very well off after your last adventure, what are you gonna do with all those gems?

Spyro: Isn't it obvious? I'm spending it on my vacation to Avalar

Cameras: Isn't that outside the Dragonlands?

Spyro: Yeah but it's full of awesome different creatures, including my two radical friends who invited me there, Hunter the Cheetah and Elora the Faun

Camera: Then... that means you'll be the first dragon to tour Avalar?

Spyro: Yeah I'm sure the locals will be crazy about me, it's gonna be epic

Meanwhile, on Ripto's castle in Avalar...Ripto is throwing a tantrum while watching the TV

He is paranoid and angry, first Spyro, then what's next? His grand, beautiful and orderly kingdom ruled by the beastly, ugly and unruly dragons? Spyro represented everything he hated, and every second of peace he took from him Ripto swore to take it from Spyro as well

Ripto: PROFESSOR!!!!!!!

The small creature skittered as fast as he could to his ruler, nervous and clumsy

Professor: Y-yes my lord?

Ripto: LOOK! *he points at the TV* there's a DRAGON coming to my kingdom!! How long until he gets here????

The professor takes out a notepad and writes some things down, while Ripto watches him intently

Professor: about...15 minutes I'd say?

Ripto: NO! I must hurry while there's still time!

He pushes the scientist to the side and rushes to open the door, where his minions pretend to not have been listening in this whole time

Ripto: ALL GUARDS ON ALERT, A THREAT IS COMING AND WE HAVE WORK TO DO!

Meanwhile, Spyro is on his flight to Avalar, it seems he is arriving, but not too long after he lands he is surrounded, he fights with all his might until the locals seem to start trapping him, when things seem too tough he is finally saved by his friends!

Hunter is quick while Elora is strong, they're quite the duo together and take out the enemies successfully, Spyro is still confused though.

Spyro: Well THAT just happened

Elora: I'm so sorry Spyro, I know that wasn't the reception you expected, it wasn't what I expected either

Hunter: We should have though, this is all my fault, I knew we should have just gone to the Dragonlands, I was gonna suggest it but-

Elora: Hunter, stop searching for ways to blame yourself okay? The only one to blame here is Ripto

Spyro: Hold on you two I'm completely lost, what's going on here, who's Ripto, what's he got to do with all this and where is he so I can flame him on his face?

Elora: I'll explain, Ripto is the jackass currently in charge of the Avalar kingdoms

Hunter: GASP Elora!!!

Elora: What??? It's true okay! I don't care if a Dragon ate his grandma or anything, not a single other faun is as much of an annoying dick about it as he is. He's seen you on TV Spyro, and he hates you

Hunter: So now out of nowhere he enforced a bunch of security measures in all of the Summer Forests, and put a bounty on your head *he shows Spyro a badly drawn sign that reads "DRAGON: Dead or Alive 10000 gems"*

Spyro: That looks nothing like me! Oh when I see that Ripto guy he's TOAST

Elora: Now hold on Spyro you are NOT facing Ripto alone

Hunter: Yeah, I will

Elora: NO ONE will face Ripto alone

They both seem slightly annoyed at Elora

Elora: Look, we are not the only ones dissatisfied, I for one can tell the other faun don't like these brutish guards ordering us around, despite being afraid of dragons because of Ripto they are much, much more afraid of Ripto himself. If we can show to them you are on our side we can start a revolution!

Hunter: WHAT?

Elora: I'm serious!!

Hunter and Elora start to argue, Spyro tries to get their attention to no avail, suddenly a burning ship flies above their heads and they finally look to the dragon

Spyro: So, I came here to chill and find out fame has its consequences, there is a bounty on my head, it's a lot to take in at once

Hunter: Sorry, Spyro

Elora: You're right, Spyro

Spyro: Which is why Elora is right, this revolution is going to be FIRE! LET'S GOOO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR COME ON!!!

And he rushes ahead of them giving them 0 time to think or say anything, and they both rush after him.

Is there a favorite moment you've had in D&D that you wanna share?

!!!! SO MANY TBH

Vrey's campaign went on a while and had so many amazing moments, too many to count, so I'll go with the murderkids;

So it's a battle royale and only one person can live. Everyone is fighting to survive, there's a gun involved, Simon & Gale (the boyfriends basically) are having a Moment.

P2 (a player character, very goofy UNTIL NOW) has just lost his best friends and is in a State. Walks in with a *nail gun*, obliterates Renee, kills Gale I think, basically TPKs it! Goofball joke character wins the game!

For being the winner, he gets One Wish, anything he wants. He managed to get the ONLY possible good ending, where he brings everyone back and un-crazies Jazmine. He's the ONLY character that would have taken the selfless choice and let everyone win, and he did it after killing like half the cast! it was SUCH a moment. Thanks to that I wanna do another one shot with the same cast!

|| The outfits they're giving my Queen this time around really do be a disgrace tho 🫠💔

[unstablerk800]

|| I need to go to sleep now. I had too much excitement.

Literally the excitement:

(I'm always fascinated that this exists, and I saw it with my naked eyeballs. 🔥)

Goodnight y'all, sweet dreams (I will have some I hope 🙃)!
