is anyone onboard with a bi/pan -> ace pipeline alastor? like an alastor that parties at gay bars in the 1920s/30s and assumes he's bi bc he thinks men are just as attractive as women (zero equals zero!).

i have a lot of fun watching people thirstpost about aa4 phoenix. clearly the man inspires many feelings in me but lust just simply isn't one of them. i look at him i go 'this is some guys dad' and i know there are a lot of dadfuckers out there but im not one of them. its important work, though. for other people to do.

and if i drop a chip jrwi playlist that's meant to be listened to in chronological order to paint his character development and story progression what then. What then liberals

i designed a creature!

this is the nymph, a small (2-6 inches long) amphibious animal which can walk, swim, and glide. it has membranes as webbing between its toes, as a retractable flap on its back, and as a tail fin which all aid in locomotion -- these membranes are also photosynthetic organs which create energy for the nymph from sunlight, and, because of the chlorophyll they contain, the membranes are a beautiful emerald green. nymphs still do posess a simple digestive system, however, so they can eat plant matter when sunlight is low. nymphs are covered in short, soft, often colorful fur which helps keep them warm (nymphs are warm-blooded), and have antennae on their heads to assist in sensing stimuli.

nymphs live in moist areas, like rainforests, tropics, marshes, and near small bodies of water (lakes, rivers), with the amount of sunlight impacting their size (the sunnier the habitat, the larger the nymph). these creatures are at the bottom of the food chain, often preyed on by larger animals.

nymphs can reproduce sexually or asexually, and lay eggs: each individual nymph produces both gametes, and chooses which mode of reproduction to perform based on environmental factors. there are no sexes in nymphs, and no intraspecific competition.

these creatures are gregarious, living in large groups -- living in such a group, nymphs can take care of each other and their young, and protect themselves from predators by fluttering around in a swarm, confusing and disorienting with their bright colors. nymphs are fast-moving and prone to hiding, especially when separated from their group. nymphs are easily startled, and, despite their otherwise gentle and peaceful nature, are not able to be domesticated.

nymphs are named after the mythological beings of the same name: they are seen as an embodiment of nature, given their ability to move through air, land, and water, their similarity to plants, their beautiful colors, and their graceful movements.

if you're doing drawing rqs atm, i'd love to see your take on nepeta in this outfit, if that's alright with you!

I do requests whenever the stars align and I already like drawing the character, so yeah, technically!

This is a woman who kicks your ass for an hour at your boxing class but then is so cool about it you feel bad for being upset

I saved a daddy long legs!

i was scared and (i know dont @ me) was considering spraying him because I still fear spiders and spider-look-a-likes

up until past few years ive been working really hard on figuring out how to save them rather than kill bc ofc, it doesnt align with my views to kill them

normally i let my dog eat them to justify it- ironically, bc "im not killing them, my dog is"

but he was in one place, not moving and i was on the toilet, so i took the time to read up about him.

i named him, forced myself to, and to call him cute, so that it would make it harder for me to go through with killing him

i tried to imagine him being curious, or scared, or relaxing. Though i know most likely they arent capable of it in a way we can understand, it still helped me see him as no different than my dog or cat or me, rather than "just a bug' or some type of 'scary thing'

and in the end i saved him! container and a folder.

i still was scared, but seeing the (idk another word) humanity in him, the value he has and that he has for himself as a living being, helped make it possible to save him

its still really hard, and on occasion i do end up killing spiders or having my dog eat them when its quick scenarios where i dont have time to think it through

but compared to years ago ive gone from saving 0 to maybe 80%

and this is one of those moments where, its not exactly possible for me to push myself because it can undo all the work ive done. and thats ok.

this is the best i can do right now and im proud of myself.

my best, is not how i imagine my best being. in my mind, i could push myself harder but thats not practical.

doing your best is strategic.

im just so glad i didnt kill him. reading about him, learning about him, appreciating his role, and labeling him cute and giving him a name helped a lot

and sometimes, anthropomorphizing animals can be beneficial. i know he doesnt feel fear and curiosity like i do, but if it means not unnecessarily taking a life, then he does to me in that moment

i wasnt expecting to start crying when i looked up shirley barber's fairies, but the puzzle book i had of her art was such a special thing to me when i was younger. my grandma who passed away last year is the one who got it for me, and i remember sitting in the living room with her and putting my fairy puzzles together while watching tv and feeling just so happy

I think making sweeping generalizations of specific traits being considered "ugly" is not great the same way i think its rude and unnecessary to call others ugly, i also think its worthwhile to acknowledge that certain traits ARE considered "Ugly" due to societal beauty standards, that doesn't make them ACTUALLY ugly, bc beauty is subjective anyway, and can be found Anywhere, and even someone who seems to tick every single box of societal beauty Ideals will almost certainly have at least one trait or feature about their appearance that they are insecure about or feel is "ugly", bc even within the constraints of conventional attractiveness theres subjectivity

also this fish was so fucking Ugly and i adored it so much. i miss him.

he was also gorgeous.

if I was playing nyssa more than once per calendar year I'd buy some of these to bring as table snacks

Ok I need you all to know my default Billy is trans, and he definitely 100% grew this stupid little moustache after high school

Are you kidding me?? This is the kind of facial hair you grow just because you can, just because your face is making hairs and you’re like WOAH, I can do that??

70% of the trans men I know have had a version of this moustache.

my something flag is that, as a seasoned marauders fan, I've never read All The Young Dudes. I tried to, finished half the thing, then got bored and stopped. just like that. and now I can't stop seeing videos or posts talking ab it while i'm just there being pretty and voluntarily ignorant
