I'm so done with F1 normalizing the replacement of drivers mid-season
I mean c'mon: De Vries everyone sort of swept under the rug because most people agreed he wasn't doing quite as well as could be hoped but largely it was because EVERYONE WANTED THE HONEY BADGER BACK But like now? This is getting ridiculous.
Sargeant? Gone. Magnussen being replaced for one race? No one would shut up about how much better Bearman did than him. Danny Ric getting mid season booted? No one seems concerned about it. This is getting egregious, seriously. A contract is a contract and a drive is a drive.
With really good reason I can see dropping a driver, but at this point people are hardly getting full seasons if the team has any say in it, and vice versa is the sponsors have a say in it. It's gross. Let them finish the season.
At the very least let Danny race at COTA one last time my boi loves the place.

Listen I need to get this out I know it's random as fuck but you don't understand just how infuriating books can be
Major spoilers for Redwall: Outcast not that you should care in my opinion if you do you could still read and enjoy it because I am only discussing the halfway point of the book and the ending
I would suggest for maximum yapping effect to refrain from skimming and to indulge my every enraged screech with your fullest and utmost attention
Now without further ado... The most aggravating book I have ever read in my life.
Redwall is a series I love. I had read a lot of the books and, finally, I was going to read one I had been looking forward to- Outcast. There's a ferret on the cover. That's right. A ferret main character, a race previously considered as "vermin" in the other books. The back alluded to their struggle for fitting into Redwall given the prejudice against their kind and I was so excited to dig my teeth into a cute and whimsical story about my favorite animal
But guess what
In a book in which the cover is a ferret and the back description is about the ferret... Do you want to know... What the book was actually about?
Because it wasn't about the ferret. No. Not until almost to the end of the book and they are a horribly treated side character that gets so astronomically butchered by the story I closed the book in disgust at the end.
The book should have been called Sunflash the Mace because that is actually the main character and he is not an outcast at all. He is more akin to a paladin of sorts. He is a great character and his companion is awesome I have no issues with him it is not his fault for the book being so grossly mishandled
You encounter the story of the ferret halfway through the book. He is the rejected son of an evil tyrant ferret that gets raised in a shitty environment only to eventually be saved and brought to the abbey.
So, what happens?
He is abused and ostracized by his peers for being a ferret and then lashing out for being bullied. Yes he steals things but rather than just saying the ferret is a bad egg why not punish the bullies for once and help the poor ferret learn to be a bit better? The only supportive figure he had was his adoptive mom and you can see him getting worse and worse because of the lack of any sort of help
Then, eventually he runs away to join his dad. His dad, the evil tyrant. He fights for him against Redwall, and this is where things get infuriating.
His mother is almost killed. His adoptive mother. He steps in front of her and sacrificed himself to save her.
At the end of the book two characters discuss this. "I'm sorry, I guess he really wasnt evil from the start..." Another person says.
Then the most evil, sick bit of writing I have ever seen graces the last specks of the page. A phrase that rocked me to my core for all the ferret had been through and what he had done at the very end.
"no, he was. I was wrong."
From the mouth of his own adoptive mother.
Now. You may be wondering- surely, SURELY there's more to this? Maybe in the books ferrets are just evil!
EXCEPT IN ONE OF THE PREVIOUS BOOKS A RAT BECAME A TOY MAKER THAT GIVES BOATS TO KIDS, A PREVIOUSLY COMPLETELY EVIL RACE AND NEED I REMIND YOU THAT THE BOOK WAS SET UP ON THE COVER AND BACK AS IF IT WAS GOING TO BE ABOUT THE FERRET FIGHTING FOR HIS RIGHT TO BE LOVED? I BELIEVE IT WAS MARIEL AND THAT BOOK WAS INCREDIBLE AND THE BEST IN THE FUCKING SERIES
That's all I wanted to say
I wish with all of my fucking heart the book was renamed to Sunflash the Mace I would have been so much less angry. I wish it had focused completely on his ending, rather than randomly having the poor ferret bastardized by his mother in the end
Read Mistmantle instead, guys

funny little tidbit
in dnd 5e if you play a shifter with the hermit background thats at least two levels ranger and has the druidic warrior fighting style you can play a wish.com druid
shapeshift for combat
spells for combat (id rec shillelagh and magic stone, hit people with sticks and throw rocks at em)
you can take some good utility, healing or attack buff spells
you get a lot of the expertise in your environment (work with your dm and its even better!)

All this talk bout Burning Spice getting to Y/N/My Cookie is amazing.
But i feel like the hilarious joke option of the ancients just finally deploying Cream Ferret onto him immediately isn’t talked about enough.
Just this fluffy little fairy-ferret-thing going absolutely rabid on some ancient beast.
Bro better hope he got his rabies shot.
POV you are Burning spice upon trying to get to My Cookie/Y/N for the 100th time:
Tumblr media
Burning Spice is yapping nonsense.
Whatever, go my Cream Ferret.

TEACH ME HOW TO LOVE! 35. wait a minute, you what?!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
masterlist ⌒☆ previous ⌒☆ next
fun facts:
jolie and atsumu both want to be more than friends with the person they're respectively in love with. however, they're too afraid of the consequences to risk everything they currently have.
the main cast likes to play rock paper scissors to determine who pays for small things like snacks etc. (they're all rich so who cares 😜)
^ jolie pays for most things though. even if people don't ask, she'll buy stuff randomly during break and give it to her co-stars or staff members.
atsumu is so pathetic i enjoyed making him like that
“4 7 8 technique or smth i think” he’s lying, he doesn’t think, he knows for sure. he went to do a quick google search and came back with that in hopes of impressing y/n. 💀💀💀
jolie has short hair btw LMAO
when jolie said it'll be the first time she's partying with the cast, she's mostly referring to y/n, akane, and sugawara (he doesn't attend parties that much!). of course since jolie, semi, and atsumu have been in the industry longer, they've seen each other at gatherings etc. before

synopsis: when y/n l/n, a rising actress, decides to star in a romance film that could make or break her career, she’s unable to showcase her skills, revealing her inexperience within the romance department instead. worst of all, atsumu miya, her co-star and the main lead’s love interest, seems to hate her guts! with absolutely, unbearably zero chemistry between the two, an idea was proposed: spend time with one another in the upcoming weeks. will y/n be able to ignore her professionalism and listen to her heart? and will she, a clueless romantic, be able to pick up on the signs her co-star is sending her?
a/n: yap yap yap!!! SUCH A YAPPER WHY ARE MY CHAPTERS SO LONG OMG 😭😭 also the uneven number of pics kill me every time

can we talk
Verstappen looked
so happy
at the end of qualifying this weekend
and at the end of the race
that mf was GRINNING like a little boy after two rounds of quali and a sprint/race weekend where he actually had to fight other cars and drivers for the position he had.
He lives for the competition. He loves the fight of F1. The man doesn’t want to dominate any more than we want him to.
If he had a say in it we’d get a Verstappen/Norris championship battle from Bahrain to Abu Dhabi, three points between them, Leclerc with a few wins, Ricciardo somehow scoring a podium in the VCARB, and probably one hell of a race in the rain.

@lotftober2024
Day 9: Fursona 😼
Some quick doodled designs of varying quality (im busy sorry)
I had more characters in mind to draw but didn't have time so here's the list of everyone + their animals:
Ralph: Golden retriever (not so much as a golden retriever character type but more so bc they're basic and conventional)
Simon: British wolf (England has a not-so-great history with wolves and the boys all thought Simon was the beast and killed him. Sheep in wolf's clothes sorta sitch)
Piggy: Wild boar (he's a type of pig but not a PIG pig, he doesn't really act aggressive/strong and has ass-mar so they call him a pig for these reasons as well)
Jack: Red fox (he yaps about the English being the best so he's a well-known English woodland creature. Also foxes are vocal, they kill things idk. THEYRE BOTH RED!!)
Roger: Crow/raven (I never decided which but some sort of corvid. Him being a bird bc piggy's death, also their relationships with meat-eaters. They're also a very spooky/ominous symbol, associated with death, etc.
Maurice: Ferret (they're playful but carnivorous, goofy lil guys)
Samneric: Rabbits (I thought of peter rabbit and co a bit, idk.)

ELLOOoOOO!
Coming in cause I got very curious about asking this, what if everyone had a pet companion? What would they assist on? 🩷
CAINE: yellow Indian ringneck parrot (BananaPhone) He's even more of a companion than Bubble. At least he's down to party and doesn't sass Caine anywhere near as much. Caine can yap about whatever and Banana chills with a treat.
POMNI: golden retriever (Cade) He keeps Pomni calm. Best therapy dog in the digital world. He also distracts her with play.
RAGATHA: blue and purple beta fish (Button) The little fish knows all her secrets. She doesn't go to anyone with her problems, so she talks to her fish. Button swimming around without a care in the world is relaxing.
JAX: ferret (@#$&head) This feral noodle rat is the biggest pain in his ass, but he wouldn't trade the stinky living slinky for anything. The ferret is just as much of a troublemaker as Jax.
GANGLE: white cat (Hana) The most chill cat. Little ball of fluff that loves to cuddle in Gangle's lap and purr contently. But ONLY Gangle. She runs from everyone else, including Zooble.
ZOOBLE: pancake tortoise (Pancake) He eats. He sleeps. He gets shell scrubs. Zooble is envious of this simple existence. She wishes her head could be empty sometimes.
KINGER: All of the insects in his collection. They used to be Queenie's. He promised to take care of them and grow the collection like she did. He collects insects from almost every track.
GUMMIGOO: gummy snake (Tucker) The only thing he brought with him when he was taken from the Candy Canyon track was his pet gummy snake. He's blue and green. He doesn't do much, but Gummigoo's reminder of where he came from. (In a good way)
LOO: white mouse (Sprinkle) She found this little creature wandering the garage and nibbling at her shoe. The little thing was just hungry. She fed him straight from the dining table and the mouse stuck around. It rides around on her shoulder. They like to feel tall.
SETH: tortoise shell cat (Eve) He came across this cat on a track he was stalking to go after Kinger. She kept rubbing against his boot and wouldn't leave him alone. He put her on the front of his motorcycle and raced against Kinger with the cat clinging for dear life. He thought that would be enough to scare her away, but she didn't leave. He respects her gumption, and stole her away to the in-between.
ABEL: giant African snail (AJ) He had one of these in his real life. The only pet he could ever make time for. It's hypnotic to watch AJ eat his little bits of food, the way he consumes by overwhelming and taking small bites.

Ghouls behaving like dogs this, ghouls purring like cats that but... have you ever thought. Ghouls that make ferret noises? (I mean I'll never say they don't purr like the biggest cats because I love them, but. Expanded library of noises ?)
This video 👇 is like 4 minutes long. If you have the time, watch it and think of ghouls just living their mundane day to day but with ✨noises✨. Of course ferrets are small animals and their sounds are all high-pitched so let's pretend ghouls just make them with a lower pitch since they're human sized or bigger.
(Maybe the clergy does have a video just like this one but instead of ferrets it's someone who was tasked with following the ghouls to catch all the noises, so new siblings know more or less what they mean)
Warning: This video is time stamped correctly, so if you don't want to hear distressing animal noises skip 7, 8, 10, and 11.
youtube
Now, if you ask me. Which you haven't. Allow me to tell you a case by case of the ✨noises✨as numbered in the video.
1 . The baby squeak: Kit is born, eyes and ears closed. More wriggly fluffy creature than a demon really, and this is the only noise they can make. They don't cry like human babies do at first, just squeaks.
2. Older kit honk: Phantom is having a nap on the couch in the common room and while yes he is fully grown, he's honking in his sleep. Mountain and Dew, who are at the table sorting some new seed packets, turn to look at him.
Dew: huh... haven't heard that noise in a while.
Mountain: I hear it almost every day
Dew: huh? There are no kits here.
Mountain: Who said kits. You do the same when you sleep.
Dew: I WHAT?!
Or maybe it's made when someone is feeling really vulnerable or crying. But also can be heard when someone is begging for something, in the same way a child would say "please please please pretty please".
Cumulus is waiting for her cupcakes to cool before frosting them, and is holding onto her last bit of patience as Swiss who is sitting on the table with his head resting on his arms keeps honking at her to get just one bite.
3. The mothering call: Any ghoul can make this noise but it happens more when a ghoul grooms another. Like saying "stay still!".
Cumulus' room filled with that noise as she, Cirrus and Aurora groom Sunny, who got all muddy outside and is not allowed on the bed before she's deemed clean.
Also, catch Aether making this noise at Dew every time he sees him after a couple of hours. Just snuffling him and scenting him all over. Dew is grumpy about it, but everyone can just tell he loves it.
4. Annoyed hiss: Yes, ghouls can hiss like cats but this one is not a "i'll kill you" hiss. It's more like a "ugh" or an "ew". Washing dishes and the stray spoon sends water everywhere - annoyed hiss -. Mountain sees an unwelcome bug in his greenhouse - annoyed hiss -. Rain tracks water and mud inside and Swiss steps on the puddle - annoyed hiss-.
5. Annoyed fighting call: To me more like a playfighting noise. Like the play bow dogs do but in noise form. A way to say yes I'm biting you but not for real.
Phantom and Aurora make it all the time when they play outside but older ghouls who take themselves too seriously (cough - Alpha) would rather die than make that noise.
6. Defensive yap: Ghouls don't say "ouch" when they get hurt by something small, they make this little yip.
Omega is drawing Pebble's blood, but since Pebble prefers not to look it always catches him by surprise and they yip. It's always a noise for minor things, like stubbed toes, stepped on tails...
7. Pain squeal: Now this noise is for actual pain, in the moment. Got bit by Swiss so hard it bled. Dropped an instrument on their foot. It's both involuntary and purposeful. the purpose being to let every other ghoul know that whatever this was really hurt and they could need help.
They're all in the middle of rehearsal and when Dew is bending backwards he squeals. Everyone stops playing and singing, and Copia is very confused. They all look at Dew, who is about to cry... and that's why Rain supports his back now.
8. Scared squeal: I feel like this noise is not for "I am about to die" fear but more like "you startled me" or that strange stress/fear when you're being chased or stalked while playing.
Aether is mad because of a prank and has Swiss and Dew cornered and they just keep making this noise.
9 and 10. Dooks: I feel like adult ghouls make this noise but it sounds a lot deeper maybe gruntier? And again when fighting it's not a "I will kill you" more like "I'm gonna get you!". But that same noise when a ghoul tops or is more dominant in sex and then it's not a "I'm gonna get you" but "I'm gonna get you so good". More often made by excitable or younger ghouls.
11. Terror screech: Now, this is the noise you hear when a ghoul is in serious danger or pain. This is probably what Mountain and Aether heard on the other side of the door when Dew was made to change elements. It can also be heard when they are summoned and sent back, since the process is terrifying and painful.
12 and 13. Happy dook and panting: It's made involuntarily and they often don't realize they're doing it unless it's pointed out.
Maybe at night the common room is filled with these noises when Phantom, Swiss and Rain are playing videogames together. Just a lot of chatter that says "I'm happy".
Or maybe Ifrit (golden retriever energy) makes it every time he gets to nuzzle into Zephyr's soft feathers.
Picture a big ghoul pile where everyone is already half asleep and Copia comes in and gets pulled in the middle of the pile. One ghoul starts making the noise as they sniff Copia and his clothes, then two and suddenly every single one makes it until they settle again.
14. Sleep talking/ Being in pain: I think even the strongest, most stoic ghouls sleep talk like this, and the others record them and send that to the groupchat. Big ol' Omega is having a powernap in his infirmary office, and Phantom records him.
Or when Zeph or Rain can't hide their pain any more. This noise is like a direct call for Dew or Ifrit to come warm them up and soothe the pain.
Aurora is a master at faking this noise to get her way with the older ghouls. This plus puppy eyes, and she gets her way, every single time.

Top coolest animals that i REALLY like (reminder i'm not a specialist/biologist or anything, i'm just super into researching animals! so if you have anything to add or anything to correct feel free to do so! i love learning :D)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Those fellas are super cool looking! they are called the vampire deers! those are a group of species that aren't necessaraly true deers, that name is given for deer lookin mammals! Thats why the Mouse-Deer (That isnt a true deer) is in the Vampire deer group because of their lil fangs
Tumblr media
But its mainly associated with musk deers (that if im not mistaken aren't true deers) or the barking Deer! (That do have antlers unlike most vampire deers that only have their fangs >:D) that are in fact true deers.
Tumblr media
Wolverines / skunk bear / glutton / woods devil /carcaju and etc Those angry devils, incredibly cool dudes. Even tho they look like little bears they are mustelids! a family that includes otters, weasels, badgers, ferrets and etc. Just like their cousins they are ANGY really angy >:( so don't get close because they DON'T wanna be friends (they are hard to find in the wild so that is already really hard to happen)
Tumblr media
Starting with their habilities, since they live in extremly cold places, they developed over the years a thicc hidrophobic oily fur! basically they are 💥ANTI-WATER💥 to adapt tho those really snowy environments and survive! and also avoid heat loos because of the blood of their prey/water. They also have incredbly good smelling habilities, let's just say that isn't easy getting food in that deadly cold, they do in fact have a vast food menu that goes to fruits and dead bodies but that's not easy to find! so they have a incredibly sensitive nose to track their great meals, dosen't matter if it is freezed, they have teeth and claws made to rip off that cold meat! Personally they are my favourite mustelids :3 lov yapping about them
Tumblr media
PINK FAIRY ARMADILLO! Look at this silly, they are the smallest armadillos in the world (around, they are super cute.
But its hard to know much about them because they don't have much info but ill try!
Why they are pink? They are this collor because of their blood vessels that are close to their shell, and that with their white fur helps them with their body temperature since they live in really hot places on Argentina's center. (un beso a mis hermanos de argentina)
But do not be mistaken because they are GREAT scavengers because of their big claws.
Tumblr media
Smilodon Populator I myself am a big fan of ancient felines (such as machairodus and cave lions) BUT I SPECIALLY LOVE THE SMILODON because guess what? The first ever fossil of a Smilodon was found in Brazil!
Enough of yapping about Brazil and more Smilodon yapping, specially the Smilodon populator aka the biggest saber-tooth species in history! They lived during the pleistocene period (Pleistos + kainos) and those kittens lived along-side humans! Aw, How cute.
But you see, those sabers aren't really that effective, they needeed to hunt their preys surgically, trow them on the ground with their big paws, and kill them by bleeding with a SPECIFIC bite on the prey's neck, probably, because of that their sabers would break alot, thats why most of the skulls are found with one loosing tooth.
Tumblr media
Even tho they are called the Saber-Toothed Tigers they aren't close to tigers because they are not on the True panther (phantheranae) family or ""True big cat family"' so i can say, they are on a extinct sub-family named "Machairodontinae" not close to True Big cats or Avarge Cats (felinae) even.

Hi there! I stumbled upon your blog a while ago and I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your work. I absolutely love your Medusa Reader as well as the interactions between her and Baraka as well as her friendship with Syzoth with the rest of the Earthrealmers and Outworlders and of course the animosity she has for Shang Tsung though he's still attracted to her. I'm also the anonymous person that's been sending you the numerous reactions requests because I wanted to see how you would write out the scenarios that I would ask for and you've never disappointed me. I felt comfortable to reveal myself to you because I was nervous to see what kind of reaction I would get for sending these requests to you. I love the latest scenario that you posted yesterday and I sent you another request though this one is more PG friendly, basically the Outworlders stumbling upon a pet store and them interacting with the animals inside with Medusa Reader and Syzoth encountering the reptiles in the reptile section, Mileena and Kitana as well as Li Mei and Tanya playing with several puppies and kittens and ferrets and Ashrah interacting with several birds while Baraka is asking Johnny why do Earthrealmers keep them as pets and which ones would be delicious to eat scaring the Outworlders and a few customers and maybe Syzoth trying to eat some of the bugs that they sell in the store. You're an amazing writer with incredible talent and I hope to read more from you soon. Keep up the good work, you're awesome!
A/N: Awwwww and I think YOU'RE awesome! Thanks for the asks too as those are fun to write. Sometimes I have to step back from writing since I'm laughing too hard at what I wrote or think about writing with these scenes.😂😂😂 Also, I am SOOOOO SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG TO FINALLY FINISH!!! I hope this makes up for it!!!!
Tumblr media
You and the other outworlders plus Ashrah vaguely wondered about what Earthrealm's fauna is like compared to the other realms. You are all given a chance when coming across a pet store while Johnny was giving you another Earthrealm tour, specifically, a "exotic" pet store, that had a painted tropical bird on the sign. The smell of prey and predator bombarding emanating even just outside the door.
Mileena and Kitana were immediately drawn to the softer looking animals, approaching a pen filled with soft puppies yapping in greeting at the newcomers and another filled with mewing fluffy kittens. Mileena laughed as the puppies tripped over their own feet in their pursuit to greet her and Tanya. The latter lightly jokes/suggests that maybe they train some of these hounds to be Umgadi.
Kitana meanwhile is a few yards from her sister contently petting the kittens and letting them climb all over her, with Li Mei acting as her guard, as old habits die hard. Yet, one could see a small smirk from the former Umgadi priestess as she observes one kitten, the runt of the litter, trying to climb her leg. Admiring the small kit's tenacity. Kitana and Mileena later move their attentions to the small glass case containing ferrets.
You and Baraka followed behind Ashrah and Syzoth as the former wanted to check out the colorful birds there, seeing as the Netherealm doesn't contain any colorful ones nor non-scavengers. However, you lagged behind when your snakes started to hiss up a storm as they all lean towards the terraiums displaying mice and rats, snapping their jaws and flicking their tongues in the direction of the tasty snacks.
"Behave! I'll buy some of them later, just calm down!"
You hurriedly grabbed at your snakes to pull them away, as the rodents within their cases started running around in panic. Syzoth notices one of the store's employees giving you an odd look, and then drags you along to the reptile section while Baraka glowers at the employee until they finally lower their head to avoid eye contact with the Tarkatan.
The Reptile section had to be the most interesting part of the tour. Given how many of your snakes seemed to share many similarities with the serpents being sold here, whether that be in snout shape, eyes, length, or scale color and pattern. Although you had to pull your snakes away from more than one caged serpent, as they tried to eat the smaller ones and curled away from a boa.
Syzoth would remark how some of the reptiles vaguely resemble either relatives or associates from Zaterra. He would point at some of the lizards, such as an "ugly" looking reptile with dull scales and say that it's Archduke Mahazzem before hissing in amusement which you shared in.
"It really DOES look like him."
The Zaterran even pointed at a snake basking on a rock under its heating lamp and remarked that it's you. To which you respond by pointing at a tortoise and saying the resemblance between him and Syzoth is uncanny. While you and Syzoth were ribbing each other, Baraka went off on his own to ask Cage if he could purchase some of the animals, specifically some ferrets, birds, and reptiles. Not as pets but as meat to try out later. Much to Cage's disgust and a few other regular customers' horror. Kitana held the ferret in her arms even closer as did Tanya with one of the pups she was growing fond of.
Cage's disgust doesn't end there as he spots you and Syzoth purchasing some crickets and mice before eating them right at the register, for all to see. At the sound of a child crying, did Cage rush to escort all of you out of the store, not caring for Baraka's protests of not getting anything to eat as well.

Hello! I am enjoying your concept of drawing requests for practice and getting out of your comfort zone, that's awesome. I feel like ferrets are very fun and silly to draw, if I can please request that. Thanks!
Of course! I took time to draw this, I was really on the struggle bus and it took me a second before I finally felt semi confident to post this! The first time I drew this I was super frustrated because I could not get the proper proportions of the ferret but after a while it clicked. I hope you enjoy this time lapse and my voice over yapping about what I was doing🫶🏾
