#the rotting hyena tag

[pansyfilia]

for some reason i understand and adore the tall barty/short evan thing BUT what if it was the other way round. what if barty was short and brown-haired (with green stripes) and made taller just marginally by steel-toe-capped boots that he never takes off and spiky-gelled hair and insoles and evan was HIS tall frightening bone-cracking wraith-like wispy blond skeleton-ish puff of smoke whose bones didn't touch each other, just floating in his body, barty always swore to the others. think evan bleeding out in the fight with the order, long legs folded awkwardly and snapped by barty to be tucked under his torso at strange angles as barty struggles to hold him in his lap and his back went crooked because barty was trying to mold him into something small as he died, just to save him. think, you guys. think.

A taste of flesh

I finally sat down and wrote the husbandry flesh tearers

You wanted to scream for help as you could hear the snapping of bones outside and the sickening sound of meat being eaten. The groan of delight as you know it's one of those Blood Angel types... given the blood drop motif on its black and red armor. You could feel tears gathering as first you were being hunted by a feral marine... it was toying with you as it moved you to this little shack out in the middle of the woods... your eyes dart around to the bloody hooks and other things.

Your heart was beating in your throat... as you looked out a hole in the rotting wood... its back was to you as it was bent over the corpse of your would be torturer... you stand on shaky legs. Trying your hardest not to breathe too hard as you fox step to the door. Blood is soaking his bald head all the way back as his black helmet is by his side as he's hunched over the body like a wolf tearing into prey... or hyena... or some other predator from a nature documentary.

You take slow steps as it seems to be focused on eating. It reminds you of the horrible creature that your aunt has but you think this one might be worse... this one might be worse than the abominations that people coo over... because they don't eat people. These things can't be human at all given how he tears into the other pulling out soft organs and just swallowing them whole. Your stomach churns at the slurping noises as you just hold your breath and slowly move.

You're so scared... you know that thing can hear your heart beating wildly in your chest. You're so scared to run... you can't remember anything about space marines but the fact that some of them want to chase you down brings you nothing but terror-

You hear sniffing in your ear and look over your shoulder to see the gore covered face of a slightly tanned man... bald.. and bright blue eyes... but his face still dripping with blood. You run and of course you're chased down by the gore covered marine, you feel hysterical as you scream and cry not seeing the curious look on his face... not knowing that he can tell that you aren't blind to what he his... you slip out of your jacket and run but are once again chased down and it's too much for you.

You wake up screaming as you see a space marine over you. They back away as a nurse runs in and helps calm you down as you sob into her shoulder. The Apothecary hands the nurse a tablet before she takes over and he leaves.

"Your Astartis brought you in-"

"I don't have one."

She just nods, "You were brought in. You're okay I understand that you were being chased by a feral marine."

You just nod sobbing as you take over telling the story and while you don't really like Astartes in hospitals ... they weren't a fan of health insurance... but it didn't matter as you sniffled and eventually got discharged not noticing the Flesh Tearer following you home.

“Okay so, Dracula is a yes, Frankenstein no?” Kirk's eyebrows were raised in intrigue, leaned forward across the table, beer in hand. “Why not?”

Y/N scoffed, leaning forward and grabbing the drink from his hands to take a sip. She may not be of legal age to drink yet but she was confident the waiters in the restaurant wouldn't notice if she stole a few sips. “Well..” she placed the beer back into Kirk's grasp, ignoring the offended look he gave her. “What's hotter, rich guy in a castle who drinks blood and keeps hot ladies around? Or an undead monster made of rotting body parts?”

“What the fuck are you two talking about?” James interjected, leaning over the back of his booth with Lars into their own. His long hair tickled Y/N's shoulders and she swatted him away.

Tilting her head back to look up at her brother, Y/N frowned. “The fuck-ability of classic movie monsters.” She helpfully informed him. She grabbed a slice of her pizza and shoved it in his mouth forcefully. “Now butt out, you won't contribute anything helpful anyways.”

Laughter graced Y/N's ears from across the table, a blush rising to her cheeks. A sense of pride washed over her knowing she could so easily make Kirk happy with her antics. “Fuckin’ weirdos,” James grumbled, turning around to slump back in his seat with the others.

Y/N and Kirk had been banished to their own booth by the rest of the guys. One too many drinks had the two of them howling like hyenas, not letting anyone else get a word in edgewise. “Alright so your into vampires, I'll keep that in mind.” Kirk nodded nonchalantly, taking a bite of their shared pizza.

With a grin and a shake of her head Y/N protested. “Nuh uh, you have to tell me your thoughts on it.” there was a mischievous glint in her eye as she leaned across the table on her elbows.

There was a pause and a thoughtful hum from Kirk. “Y'know come to think of it, I don't want to fuck either of them.” His declaration earned a scandalized gasp from Y/N. “I do, however , want to be Dracula, I like biting things and I think I would make a pretty hot vampire, don't you agree?” He leaned back against the seat, his tongue briefly snaking out to swipe along his teeth. God she loved those teeth.

It felt like her blood was boiling beneath her skin as Y/N stared at him across the table. Her mouth unable to form words as she stared at him, his skin was covered in a thin sheen of sweat, his white button down clinging to his skin, the sleeves rolled up just to his elbows. His hair was starting to get longer now as well, sticking just lightly to his forehead.

She scoffed, rolling her eyes to snap herself out of the trance he had induced on her. “Ugh as if, sorry Kirky you have nothing on my man Bela Lugosi.” She waved her hand dismissively at him. She felt him kick her shin lightly from beneath the table, causing the two of them to erupt into giggles once more.

On the bus the five of them had settled into a comfortable routine. The boys would all get shitfaced drunk through the night, Y/N would sit with them as her form of entertainment until she got tired of the yelling and went to bed. No one would wake until their next show and they would grab food after. It was the closest thing Y/N had to a routine or anything resembling normalcy since she was a kid.

Y/N liked the shows too, standing off to the side with the roadies, getting to watch her brother and best friends live out their dreams each night. What she didn't enjoy, was some of the people that tagged along after.

She was used to the booze, the women brought around, mostly by her own brother and Lars, never Kirk though, never Kirk. The drugs on the other hand, left her with a deep unsettled feeling in her stomach.

It started off with weed, acid occasionally when Cliff felt like it. At some point though the boys started doing bumps, thin powdery white lines off tables, dashboards, people. It happened, she supposed, when you got deep into the scene. The roadies, tech guys, bar owners it seemed everyone was offering them drugs.

Even in her brothers less than sober state, James was insistent she stay far away from it. Pretty hard to do when it completely surrounded her. She hadn't even drank before she joined the boys and now it seemed she had one in her hand all the time.

The five of them boarded the bus again, Y/N complaining with a laugh as she tried to push a drunk Lars off of her, his arm slung around her shoulders as he hollered about something she couldn't bother paying attention to.

Kirk was passing a joint between himself and Cliff, Y/N's eyes lingered on the plumes of smoke passing between Kirk's lips. She jumped, startled, as Lars leaned forward whispering in his ear.

“You fuck him yet or what.”

Y/N gasped, slapping Lars away from her. He laughed heartily, barely shielding himself from her beatings. No one questioned the abuse Y/N inflicted on him, he usually deserved it.

Cliff was the first to catch on to Y/N's crush on Kirk. He was sweet about it at the least, his teasing gentle and brotherly. Lars found out next and it had been consistently the same bullying. She could only hope that her brother and most of all Kirk wouldn't find out.

“Ugh fuck you guys I'm going to bed.” She groaned, her eyes rolling to the side as she pried herself away from Lars. She stumbled to the back still buzzed from the drinks she stole from Kirk in the restaurant.

She heard footsteps behind her as she reached the sliding door to her room. “Hey Y/N,” Kirk's voice caught her off guard. “You don't want to hang out anymore?” He asked his big brown eyes pleading.

Shaking her head with a reassuring smile Y/N explained “Lars is pissing me off, I'm tired anyways.”

Kirk pursed his lips, a contemplative look on his face. He opened his mouth wordlessly before shaking his head. He smiled warmly at her. “Okay, goodnight Y/N.” He sighed, reaching out to ruffle her hair.

She leaned gently into the touch before he walked away. Tingles ran across her skin as she lay down that night. Curling into the scratchy sheets of her bed, gathering her plush animals and pillows within her arms as she imagined laying next to him that night.

When Y/N awoke the next day it was starting to darken outside, she was used to this nocturnal lifestyle now. She stumbled from her room, clutching at the side of her head, her shoulder knocking into the walls.

“Morning Princess,’ James teased her, leaning back from the open fridge, beer in hand. “Sleep well?”

The only response he received was a guttural groan from Y/N. Her hands rummaging around the mostly empty cupboards until she found ibuprofen. She threw herself on the couch between Kirk and Lars, neither of which were truly awake.

Her head fell to the side resting on top of Kirk's shoulder. Her eyes glazed over mindlessly watching the cartoons playing on the Tv. In return his head fell on hers, his arm slinging around her shoulders. “What time's the show tonight?” She finally mumbled, voice thick with sleep.

James handed a beer to each of the guys, purposely passing over Y/N's waiting hand. She glared at him. “Its at 6, you got two hours kiddo, hit the shower before we do.” He sandwiched himself between her and Lars.

Y/N tilted her head back releasing another distressed groan. She shrugged Kirks arm off her and stood up. Despite her protests as she shuffled to the small shared bathroom, she sighed in relief as the warm water hit her skin. It soothed the pain the hangover caused her.

The room filled with the warm cinnamon scents of her body wash and hair products. She took extra time to blow dry her hair and do up her makeup in the lighting of the bathroom. She emerged to the protests of the boys as they scrambled to take quick showers before the show.

Kirk was the first to join her outside, leaning against the side of their bus, hair still dripping as he lit a cigarette. Y/N frowned leaning over and plucking it from his lips. “Ive told you how unhealthy that is.” She complained.

He pried it back from her with a sheepish smile. “I know, I know sorry, pre show jitters.” He sighed, flicking his ash on the pavement. Y/N smiled fondly at him. Despite being three months into the tour she could still feel the nervousness radiating off him.

The two fell into a comfortable silence watching the sky go from a dark dusty blue to almost pitch black. “Hey Y/N, I've been meaning to ask you-” Kirk's sentence was cut short by the rowdy hollering of the rest of the band leaving the bus. A frown tugged at his face. “Nevermind, later.” He sighed.

Y/N smiled at him confused, nodding her head slowly. She followed everyone to the back door of the venue, settling down on an empty equipment case as the boys did soundcheck. Her head nodding along to the heavy rhythm they put down.

“Hey Y/N!” A deep voice called out from behind her. Her head snapped around to be greeted by one of their tech guys. Fuck she couldn't remember his name.

“Heeeey….Mike!” That was it she was pretty sure. By the way his face lit up she assumed she was right. “What's up?” She asked as he sat down across from her.

Y/N's eyes darted from the man in front of her back to the stage, Kirk's picking seemed more aggressive, his eyes locked on to her own. She looked back to the man as he finished off the sentence she hadn't been paying attention to. She couldn't help but wonder what was pissing Kirk off so much.

“So what do you say? Dinner with me tonight after the show?”

“What?” Y/N spluttered out, her eyes snapping to attention, eyebrows raised hidden by her teased bangs. The gears in her brain shifted as she comprehended what he had just asked her. With a fake smile plastered on her face she apologized. “Sorry, after show tradition for me to grab pizza with the guys, thanks for the offer though.”

The mans face fell, shoulders slumping lightly. “Yeah of course, maybe another time.” He sighed, standing up from his seat. He shuffled away without another word.

Y/N's shoulders shivered, she frowned, shaking her head as if she could rid herself of the uncomfortable question. She turned back to the stage just in time to catch the end of their soundcheck. Kirk all but ran up to her, concern on his face.

“You good Y/N?” He asked, his frown matching her own as he pulled his guitar up and over his head. “Was that guy bothering you?” Y/N could sense his hackles were raised.

Quickly she shook her head. “No no I'm fine!” She assured him. She reached beside her to hand him a water bottle. “He was asking me out to dinner after the show.” She explained to him.

“What did you say?”

Y/N was taken aback by the sudden sharpness in Kirk's voice. She punched his shoulder playfully in an attempt to lighten the mood. “Fuck no dude, there's greasy pizza calling our name after the show I wouldn't ditch you guys.” She grinned at his visible relief.

With a sigh he threw a sweaty arm over her shoulder. She faked a gag as she felt his damp skin against her bare shoulders, but she didn't push him off. “Good otherwise I was gonna have your fucking head dude.” He laughed lightly. All the tension that had been radiating off him had dissipated. “Tech guys are dicks anyways, don't date em’”

Y/N's eyes rolled to the side, a sunset pink dusting her cheeks. “Whatever Kirk don't you have a show to do in like, twenty minutes?” She sighed.

Suddenly his weight was lifted off of her. His hand came to rest at the top of her head. “Yeah, I do.” He paused, “Keep your eyes on me tonight Y/N, I have a feeling tonight's gonna be a good show.”

SNAPPING WOLVES: "Canis spinosa."

a small, aggressive subspecies of the Threatening Wolf.

tagging @scarsmood for inspiring this journey and @ferny-fang because he seemed interested. :3

general build: snapping wolves are, as mentioned, a lot smaller than their threatening wolf ancestors. their average shoulder height is around 3-4ft while their body length is around 4-5ft from nose to tail. they tend to be built slimmer as well, with less muscle, longer + slender legs, sleek fur, with a longer muzzle. built for agility, terrain navigation, and speed.

colorings + markings: they tend to be dully-colored; muddy browns, rusty oranges, and smokey black are some examples. they usually have solid coloration, however markings aren't rare- said markings bear resemblance to a striped hyena or on the back flank similar to a tasmanian tiger. spotted markings are fairly uncommon.

spikes + other factors: they trend towards short, sleek fur, occasionally with a single "mane" of longer fur running down the length of the body. they have both longer and more back spines than threatening wolves, usually laying flat within the "longer fur mane." these spines can be raised and flattened at will- usually used as a threat display. their tail is whip-thin and often used as a distraction in combat. they are able to open their jaws extremely wide, similar to the tasmanian tiger. uniquely, they have two pairs of large ears, similar to bat ears, that can move/swivel independently. three-toed paws (not shown in image) with retractable claws.

fun facts!: their saliva acts as an skin irritant. depending on the bite, it can cause anything from a mild rash to long-lasting burn scars. (however, they can't breath fire like their ancestors.)

. . .

feeding: omnivorous scavengers. lone snappers will scavenge dead animals, rotting fruits, etc. snappers in a pack may endurance-hunt larger animals; grouping up and surrounding their prey until it exhausts itself. however, this endurance-hunting phenomenon isn't seen often; theorized to be a sort of "celebration ritual."

habitat: they live around the foothills of large mountains, most often around forestry. while they do mantain a territory, it is not nearly as "strict" as many other territorial animals. packs will often let other packs stroll through their territories, as long as said pack keeps a distance from their home "den."

pack behavior: packs can be any size under ten. they trend towards 5-7. they are usually built up of "siblings;" that is, snappers that have known each-other since puphood, even if the snappers in question are not blood-related. packs don't have a definite leader- it's less a hierarchy and more a group, kept together for both safety, social bonds, protection, etc.

other fun facts: their vocalization's are described as "very strange;" a series of hyena-like laughs to communicate with packmates, cat-like hissing, clicking, and chirping, as well as guttural moans and growls when threatened. speaking of; snappers are actually more cowardly than they seem- while they may flair up their fur and spines under duress, they are hesitant to actually attack humans.

. . .

to be elaborated on in a later post: reproduction + courtship, more pack dynamics (as well as how lone snappers behave,) more visuals and niche facts, etc. feel free to ask me questions about this species! please.

Little Easter eggs+ details+ lore.

Starting with the more obvious.

Wade has a lot of heart shaped wounds

His eyes are coloured to be like pearls other then the corners, being yellow from jaundice (thanks Tripple B)

Obviously, his voices don't go away just because he's small. (Ft. Their different fonts)

He has a gold engagment band

He has a braided wolverine coloured bracelet

He has a "call if found" bracelet with Vanessa's phone number

Part of his jaw is rotted out from chewing on it and just regular ol cancer decomposition

He has chewerly of a star

He has his dog tags on for identification if he decides to wander off

He has Puppins, who is in princess attire ft. Puppin's gnarly little feet

Spongebob socks

Hot pink crocs

Winnie the pouh and piglet overalls

Cinnamoroll bandaid (hes a dog btw not a rabbit)

Stuffies in order of which obtained:

Sprinkles and Buttercream, a Bonded pair of Unicorns Wade won for Vanessa (COUGH himself COUGH) at a fair and declared them to be inseparable because if not theyll get sad and DIE. In the break up, Wade gave V Sprinkles and kept Buttercream. Upon getting back together the unicorns are once again reunited and stay with Wade. (Not so sfw funfact at the bottom*)

Alas, Logan is NOT the first to take Wade on a "Zoo date," in fact, that would go to Peter Parker. Yeah. Spiderman. Who fittingly got him a spidermonkey toy named Cookie with velcro hands so she can hang on stuff and hug you. (Peter picked a hyena toy.. for.. reasons.)

Teddy/ Brownie bear is infact a dog toy given to Wade by Al. Where he came from is a mystery. He has a squeaker and ironically as floppy and droopy as he is, Wade has only accidently lost a single eye. He was perhaps one of his favorite things during the break up when he first moved in. Al genuienly didn't know it was a dog toy. She just felt it was soft and stuffy shaped.

After this is Mama duck and her ducklings. This is a small set of rubber ducks given to Wade by Dopinder. There's not really much lore on them other than Dopinder knows Wade enjoys cute things and Wade gasped so loud when he accepted them in the back of that cab that Dopinder thinks he genuienly loves them (and he does, he likes any toys given to him and tries his best not to damage them)

His next stuffy is Taz or Tazer, to be exact. He's from a future zoo that was able to bring back dinosaurs. Imagine how special he felt to be brought to a literal futuristic jurassic park. At said park, he was obsessed with the velociraptors, who he crouched down and giggled, petting them for about 15 minutes straight. He wanted to take one home, and to prevent Wade from committing future crimes, Nathan got him a stuffed one. (Upon learning this, Logan was not only jelaous of the fact Nathan had taken him to pet dinosaurs but also jealous of wade, who still brags about getting to pet dinosaurs to this very day) and yes... Tazer is life-sized.. he also was shared custosy until their unlabeled relationship ended, causing Wade to keep him in the break up, wishing Nathan a good life with his daughter, but still is quite heartbroken over it all. It felt nice to be held by someone bigger than him and to be taken on future dates. Though He wasn't that understanding of his illness though in Cable's defense, often times Wade would hide it from him, worried it would gross him out. He still blames his looks and sickness for Nathan leaving, even though it's not true, leaving him to be further insecure about needing taken care of physically and mentally.

And last but certainly not least, the latest obsession, Fluffy The Wolverine. Who, of course, was gifted to him after Logan got jealous seeing how affectionate and calm the Wolverines (and other animals) were to him at the zoo. Seeing Wade giggle and pet them so fondly made his blood boil, resulting in Fluffy being bought as a bribe for him to stop talking about the real Wolverine's. In the beginning, Logan was still very jealous of the toy until he realized that Wade projected his love onto the toy for him because he was afraid Logan would get overwhelmed with his undying amounts of affection. Since then, Fluffy and Logan have become a team, Fluffy getting to hold wade when his skin hurt too much for physical contact and when He was too afraid to come near Logan when small. You can catch him carrying Fluffy and holding Logans hand down the street when they walk Puppins, absolutely adoring them all.

Backpack check!

Of course, he has the hello kitty book bag from the second movie. Duh. He also has a pinkie pie one but that one is filled with guns right now.

Speaking of pinkie pie, He has Pinkie pie and Twilight sparkle.

He also has a spiderman figure, a cow boy wolvie, the hulk, thor of course, Captian america, and Bucky. Logan has no clue where he keeps finding toys of his friends, and its lowkey creeping him out since in his universe, action figures weren't made of heros and certianly not of him. Wade was embaressed at first to show Logan all of his mint conditions, especially the Dead Logan toy he had but it only made him snort. "Thats me?" "Y-yeah.. well.. no." "You weren't lying when you said I got chest fucked by a tree." "No prep either- I mean!-" "Heh. No prep.." It's kind of when Wade realized just how similar their humor is and got this massive smile on his face. Anyway-

Cowboy wolvie's horse is actually just a generic horse he bought for 50 cents at a thrift store.

He has a fluffy pink diary ofc matching with a fluffy pink pen, cryaons, and a puffball keychain on the book bags zipper.

His cuppie is a standard Spiderman sippy cup that was bought for him by vanessa almost 6 years ago. V actually just recently gifted it to Logan, silently denouncing herself as his main caregiver.

The hello kitty blanket is for Puppins to put her inside of the swing without her falling through and in case one of them gets cold. Wade gets temputure flashes often due to his inability to regulate his own internal temputure. Most times he's either too hot or too cold (hence the layered hoodies and jackets you often see him in)

Funfact did you know that Babyknife! Is actually a SOG Daggert 2?

.

.

.

Not so sfw funfact: The unicorn we see in deadpool 2 when he is uh... touching himself.. is Buttercream. She still smells like Vanessa and so sometimes it helps.

I FINALLY finished this!

There's so many Easter eggs and smaller details, and i'm obsessed with all of them even though its my own art (and honestly good for me that's how its supposed to be!!)

Let me know if you can find them all and ill give you a cookie and a trophy.

Wade's stuffies+ what's in his little bag :)

Updated: 12/12/2024 :3

I cannot believe I didn’t bother making a proper one sooner

Anyways, info under the cut cause this thing is long as heck, and I didn’t mean to make it that way.

Uh. I shall give a gold star to whoever reads the whole thing, but DO NOT SKIP the DNI part.

I also want to clarify that I have a section with Palestine content, I know people aren’t willing to always look under the cut to actually look for that kind of stuff (I’m saying this as, most people not generally, but sometimes I do the same thing, as shitty as our attention spans are, I think it’s still important that you check these posts out and reblog them. I have been DEATHLY terrified to reblog and post on this account but that shouldn’t stop anyone from at least reblogging this stuff seeing as this stuff is 1000x more important.)

I’ve copy linked posts where you can find: journalists to support and follow, how you can help Palestine donations or not, what you can do to prevent the voting for more weapons in Israel <- this could be outdated!!, and what to boycott.

Do not, and I mean DO NOT skip that part. I can’t control your actions but YOU can control YOUR OWN. I trust you to reblog, like, and share the posts I link.

Let me know if I should make this a separate post for you to reblog, but I hope this makes it GLARINGLY CLEAR on where I stand.

TW; teeth as header in the start and end :]

🪐🥞🪐🥞🪐🥞🪐🥞🪐🥞🪐

Main info

Hey! I’m Perry! Short for Peregrine :)!

I’m a minor (above 10+, I wanna keep this a 13+ space cause of the cussing and my interests in horror art and other scary games. You kind of have to be 13+ to be on here anyway.)

I’m pretty spiritual

I’m busy most of the time so sometimes I spam posts to catch up, but please pay attention to asks I answer as most of the time they are campaigns from refugees!

I’m a 4w5 intp. Idk what this says about me to others but uhhhh yeah.

I study the Paranormal and psychology

I like making headcanons and theories :]

I genuinely enjoy character analyses and overall enjoy video essays on media like indie horror and video games

I love hardcore horror and gore arts of all sorts. So beware of some of that. Ofc I’ll put warnings, just lemme know if I missed something. I also cuss a lot on here! So beware of that :)!

It’s come to my attention people have been posting real life gore of stuff like hyenas and actual victims so…That’s not the gore I meant. Fictional gore; FICTIONAL!

I’m new to the tagging system even now, so figuring stuff out is hard, but I’m equipped with enough knowledge on it and will put warnings in tags and captions since I recently learned you can block tags. Which helps loads.

Please be patient with me!^^

I’m trans, transmasc, and genderfluid. My pronouns are he/him, ve/ver, and rot/rots

I’m also working on getting a career or two in film :)!

💫🧇💫🧇💫🧇💫🧇💫🧇💫

Extra info

My favorite colors are purple, red, black, white, and neon pink.

I’m multifandom

Reblogs are much more appreciated but I’m grateful for likes.

I like mixed media.

Pls use tone tags :]

Please reblog artwork! Shitposts are fine for just likes. Text posts to.

I usually stick to canon ships because certain fandoms make it weird, but I haven’t seen anything in the main fandom I’m in, so I like to ship some.

I’m a multishipper. (Again, this applies to certain fandoms.)

I’m generally inactive here and there, but I like posting most of my fanart here when I can or remember I also post stuff on here.

I cuss on here so beware of that ig

I am half Samoan :]!!

I speak fluent English but I am learning some German.

I have social anxiety and anxiety so posts can sometimes be slower than usual since I’m almost always on my own toes. And because I have anxiety, if I’m being awkward, it’s nothing you did or said, I’m just like that in general.

I have horrible memory so if I post twice on the same day or hour it’s prolly because I forgot about it.

I reference lots of lemon demon and jack stauber.

I blame the jack stauber fanbase for my lemon demon obsession.

I’m the oldest of two brothers so you might hear about them here and there but rarely so.

I’m kind of an idiot, so please be patient if I ask you a third time to repeat what you said.

I have ADHD took a lot out of me to confirm I do. So posts may come later or at the same time due to this.

Biiiggggg undertale and fnaf nerd.

I’m an over analyzer who loves theories. Did you know I’m also an overthinker? (<- sarcasm.)

I don’t dream. I have nightmares instead. That’s where I get most of my OCs.

None of my stuff has age ratings unless it’s like tough topics to touch on or something horrifying.

I ramble lots and ramble even more in tags, so there’ll be lots of tags of just me rambling

‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Free Palestine! 🇵🇸🍉

DO NOT SKIP THIS PART!!!!!!!!!

It’s a genocide not a war!!! Z//onists FUCK OFF!!!!!!

I tried to make little watermelon emoji borders so they wouldn’t be confusing, but idk lmk if the borders help section it

I will also continuously update it if needed, and I take constructive criticism if I need to change anything, and no, ‘the only criticism I have is the fact you support Palestine’, or something, isn’t valid criticism. I’ll block you, and it’s not even a funny thing to joke about.

Links I have so far (I wanna remind ppl that if you don’t like seeing your link here just lmk and I’ll take it down, I’m just tryna share the word and I’ll soon make a post on its own abt this cause I think it’d be really important to make a separate post on this)

🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉

Help Heba!!!

https://gofund.me/7a794018

🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉

(This one is sort of just based off someone else answering an ask but I wanted to copy link this one anyways since by the looks of it, they have a lot of pro-Palestine posts)

🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉

How YOU can help Palestine.

🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉

Palestinian journalists.

🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉

Perfume: Leona x Reader

I came up with this a little while ago and finally had the time to jot it down. I hope you enjoy!

Prompt: You wear perfume to make leona cuddle you

Tags: fluff, more fluff, tooth rotting fluff, come for the fluff stay for the fluff, ruggie cameo, ngl i based the perfume on this $80 bottle of perfume my mom bought me for my birthday but I hate it, don’t worry I’ll just give it to her, but it’s seriously nasty so

   Leona Kingscholar growled as you sat beside him. An unnatural and sweet smell drifting up to his nose. Perfume! He hated the damn stuff. It smelled fake and covered up your natural scent which was already pleasant by itself. You looked at him confused as he shifted over to escape the sickly sweet scent of chemically mimicked flowers. A frown covered slipped onto your face and you looked down at the box of food in your hands. He stiffened suddenly and put his nose close to you. He inhaled deeply but couldn’t find a single trace of his scent on you. Irritated he snarled and hauled you into his lap before pushing his face into your neck and nuzzling the skin there. 

   You giggled and hugged him back. A part of some Savanaclaw member’s instincts was to mark or scent what was there. It wasn’t a crazy need but if something was important to them they would feel a tug inside them to make sure everyone else knew it belonged to them. This was a large thing for cats. It isn’t entirely obvious in the average house cat's behavior but even they find it calming to rub themselves against something as if to say “this is mine and this is mine and oh yeah that over there is mine too.” For a more territorial cat like a lion it is even more present. 

   Thus Leona was currently rubbing his scent into you as best as possible. It was relaxing to experience so you often just let it happen. There was hardly any other way you could receive cuddles or affection of some sort that wasn’t sexually initiated. Besides the occasional time where he slept on your lap or brushed you with his tail to signify that he was thinking of you, the two of you had virtually no other physical contact that wasn’t sex. So you cherished these moments when he was so openly affectionate with you despite not being a touchy feely person. 

   You sighed and closed your eyes, enjoying the moment. After all you had no idea when something like this would happen again. 

------

   It was two weeks after the first incident that Leona really noticed how often it had been happening. Nearly every day you were coated with that disgusting perfume. And every time it covered your natural scent and his. It pissed him off. Didn’t you realize how hard he worked to rub his scent onto you every day. You were supposed to smell like him and you. Nothing else. How were other people gonna know that you are his when you smell like that flower crap. Couldn’t you realize that the members of Savanaclaw are gonna think he’s not a worthy mate if you don’t smell like him. The disrespect they would have when they assume he doesn’t care about you enough to claim you as his. It was seriously frustrating. Not only that but every morning he marked you with his scent profusely but by lunch time it was gone. 

   He growled as he smelt the sickly perfume scent waft his way. He knew you were coming because of it so he wasn’t surprised when you said “boo” to try and scare him. He simply rolled over and pressed himself against you. “You’ve been awfully affectionate this week. Any reason why?” You asked. He only grunted in response and nuzzled you harder. Tomorrow he was going to get rid of that damn perfume once and for all.

--------

   A week had passed since Leona stole and gotten rid of that damn perfume and he had never been happier. He could tell that the students in his dorm were warming back up to him too. They had started to get distant so in order to show them that he wasn’t a lazy ass that didn’t care for his mate he continued to mark you every morning. Now you smelled thoroughly like him and he loved it. Without the need to cover you in his scent everyday Leona went back to his usual schedule of relaxing and simply sitting next to you at lunch time. Everything was back to the way it should be so he finally felt relaxed in his spot in the school gardens. That was until he smelled it again. 

   Leona snarled loudly and sat up, his nose wrinkling with distaste. Why the hell was it back!? He whipped around and saw you skipping excitedly over to him with a package in your hands. That was where the scent was coming from. You had ordered more. He growled and jumped to his feet. You stopped in surprise and gasped when he ripped the package out of your hands and chucked it as far as he could. 

   There was a solid minute of silence before Leona realized he overreacted. “Oh uh.. I’ll pay you back.” You raised your eyebrows and he knew that he better explain quickly. Leona sighed and told you all about how disgusting the perfume is and how he hates that it covers his scent on you. When he finished he braced himself for your scolding but you only sighed and looked down at your feet. “I know.” “What?” Leona looked over at you and you repeated yourself. “I know that you don’t like the perfume and that you want me to smell like you. I kept putting it on because it meant that you would mark me and it was like getting a big hug and free cuddles from you which you never give out cause that just isn’t your thing and I’m really sorry I did that I just wanted to-” 

   Leona cut you off with a quick kiss and a growl. “Hey you don’t have to cover yourself in those fake smelling chemicals to get a hug. You just have to ask. I didn’t give you hugs before cause I thought that you wouldn’t like all that romantic mush.” You looked up at him in surprise. “Are you serious?” He nodded. You cried out in joy and lept on to him, pushing him back into the flowers. He huffed in annoyance, but wrapped his arms around you and buried his face in your neck. 

   “You belong to me so you get to smell like me. No perfume is gonna get in my way again.” You chuckled at his silly declaration and closed your eyes, resting your head against his chest. His heartbeat calmed you and matched with your steady breathing and the sound of Leona’s tail thumping gently against the ground. In all honesty you hated that perfume yourself, but it was totally worth the hugs. The plan worked perfectly although you never could have come up with it yourself. Somewhere in the distance a Hyena stifled a laugh as he watched you two lay together. You so owed him his donuts.

[drabbles-of-writing]

Fallen AU. The chasers have really weird sounding laughs, they're kinda a mix between a hyena & a chainsmoker who snapped their neck. It can be a little jarring to hear sometimes. The first time Viney got Em to full on laugh Viney nearly had a fucking heart attack with how weird it sounded. Over time she finds it oddly comforting, despite sounding like a fucked up garbage disposal. None of the chasers can swim, but they are acid proof. Ed sometimes tags the places he visits. -Punk Anon

its like a deranged cackle from a kookaburra with rotting vocal chords. Viney was staring at Em with Extreme Concern when she first completely laughed because of how weird and painful it sounded. But nope, thats just how their messed up laughs work. On the plus side, its a good way to ward off people from the tree by just getting the Chasers to laugh, because people assume something horrific is going to eat them or someones getting murdered by a lunatic

Aussie Wildlife FAQ

So here's questions I'm frequently asked as both a wildlife rescuer and carer and keeper at a wildlife sanctuary. Heads up, this is a long post, I've made the questions stick out so you can easily skip through. I've tried to make it as easy to read as possible, and to find what you're after, whilst also providing lots of info.

Poison Vs Venom, what's the difference?

Well, mostly, poison just never stops killing. Like if you poison an insect, then a bird or small mammal eats that insect and they slowly get poisoned by all the poisoned insects they eat, then something eats them, like an owl, and that gets poisoned, then as it rots the poison goes into the environment, etc. Poison never dies. Venom has to be injected, so yes you can be envenomated by a dead animal, if you are stupid. Poison can be inhaled, eaten/drunk or even through touch. So if a cow is poisoned you have to dispose of the body safely, if a cow is bitten by a venomous snake, technically you can still have steak for dinner.

Are all Australian animals out to kill you?

Maybe.

They could want to kill us, I mean as a species we aren't that great. Their ability to kill us however is limited. So are all Aussie animals able to kill you? No. So we have lots of cute small mammals, like antechinus, dunnarts, pygmy possums and the like, that can bite and scratch but are very tiny bois. We even have lots of non-venomous snakes, pythons and blind snakes. Most lizards outside of Goannas can't cause too much damage. Echidna's are completely defensive, have no attack whatsoever. Lots of birds have no interest in you, unless you get near their nest. Freshwater Turtles, Little Penguins and Tawny Frogmouths all main defense is shitting really stinky shit at you. Even our venomous snakes, as long as you seek medical attention you should be fine. Considering we have the top 10 most venomous snakes in the world but average only 1 death a year that's pretty good.

But you still have lots of dangerous animals right?

Yes.

Maybe I should elaborate. Any animal is dangerous, including you, if given the right circumstances. I'm a lovely person but hurt my dog and you better run. Most animals don't want a bar of you. However, if you are a threat to them, or their babies, they will defend themselves. A lot of animals get tagged with the word 'aggressive' which I don't like, aggression is a human emotion that I've never seen in wild animals, or even pets and things. Mostly it's defensive behaviours that people read wrong. For example, the most venomous snake in the world is the Inland Taipan (found in Aust.), however the most dangerous snake in Australia is the Eastern Brown snake, less venomous but also less shy and lives in suburbia. Still, it only ever strikes at people when it feels cornered and needs to get you to back the hell off. And lets be real here, what else can they do? They can't yell and scream, they can't punch or kick. Legit their only option is to bite, and even then mostly it's a closed mouth strike to freak you out into stepping back, and most people bitten by snakes are given a 'dry bite' where no venom is injected, as they want to use it on their food not waste it on us. And 90% of snake bites that happen in Australia are people either trying to catch or kill a snake.

It's fairly simple. Don't threaten animals, don't give them a reason to be dangerous and you are fine. Crocodiles in the water? Don't swim there. Sharks around? Avoid swimming at twilight. Snake? Leave it alone. Nest with baby birds? walk away. You don't randomly show up in some strangers home and expect them not to react, so why do we expect different from animals?

What animals are on the most 'dangerous list' then? Which animals should I really avoid pissing off?

Start with the obvious. Crocodiles, venomous snakes, sharks, some jellyfish, venomous spiders, stone fish, blue ringed octopus, birds of prey (our Wedge Tailed Eagle WILL attack drones, hang-gliders and helicopters if they come into their territory) Then you've got the less obvious. Ants - like meat ants, they will swarm over you then all bite down at once. 1 bite isn't so bad, a whole colony biting you, deadly. Then there's other ants in the Myrmecia family (bull ants and the like) that are just HUGE, and have massive mandables for biting and also can sting you, and are one of the most toxic insects in the world.

Wombats - Can run at 40km/hr, skull so hard it's the only thing a Tassie Devil can't eat, able to bite your calf muscle clean off your leg, oh and they have killer booty. A hard cartilage plate in their lower back that they use to block their burrows, and if threatened can lay down and as the animal tries to get past jam their legs straight and crush the skull of a fox against the roof of their burrow, easily break a dingoes jaw or even destroy your hand.

Kangaroos - yes they box, hahaha wouldn't it be funny to box with a kangaroo. NO. Kangroos box for fun but also to defend themselves and their mob. The Alpha male is the big buff one that looks like he's on steroids. He looks like that for a reason, to defend and protect his mob. DO NOT MESS WITH ANY KANGAROOs, but really don't mess with Big Daddy (for being the alpha he gets all the ladies) Kangaroos are made for this. A punch from a Kangaroo can easily break you ribs. They can lean back on their tail and bring both legs up to kick you, easily tearing you open, which they can do with the claws on their toes, and so basically dissecting you from sternum down. Oh and if they gran you round the neck for a 'Cuddle' DUCK AND RUN. They will hold you in a kind of choke hold and then bring their legs up to kick you and basically snap you in half. Don't even mess with Wallabies man, they may be smaller but can still do damage.

Tassie Devils - are extremely shy and slower than you, like you can actually run away from them. BUT. They have the strongest bite strength compared to size of any animal. The have a PSI of 1200 and males weigh around 8 kg. For perspective, Hyenas have a PSI of 1100 and males weigh around 50kg

Brushtail Possums - They may be cuter than the American Opossums but trust me, they don't want you around. They are solitary so most people have heard them fighting of a night, screeching, shrieking, hissing, growling and making darth vadar noises. Heads up from someone who has had to rescue them from awkward places (fire-places, BBQs, closets) They are stronger than you and they will f*** you up. Even without them meaning to I've gotten injuries from my joey Brushies, they get so keen on their milk when you put it in that they climb your arm and their claws are sharper than cats. Also the sheer strength of them. I'm stronger than I look but if they are clinging on to a tree you are gonna need all your strength to get them off. The can also bite your finger clean off. And I've seen injuries from people who feed wild ones and for some reason have been late to put out the food or something and they've climbed their leg or even jumped on them - stitches were required in a few of those cases (human skin is not thick like tree bark)

What's with Magpies and swooping?

Simple, they have nests/babies and are protecting them. Australia Magpies are very smart and can recognise faces. If they think you are a threat they will try and scare you off. Just like if you're walking along with your toddler and there's a weirdo doing something strange you hold the kid tighter and closer to you and move through faster. But these guys can't just move their nests or their babies. The spot is chosen based on food availability and shelter from sun and rain, but also not being too cold. It's their spot. I've never been swooped by Magpies, other birds yes, but not Magpies. My local birds know me as the lady that cleans and fills the bird bath. Legit the Magpies sing a specific song when it needs filling to call me out to do it. So don't be a threat. If they are swooping in that area, try to avoid it or go through quickly. We used to have Plovers at my school, in the bush at the end of the oval. Never a problem. One day some kids go into the bush and stomp on their nest and eggs. After that they would swoop anyone who came close to there. So the school blocked off that end of the oval. Fair call. Wasn't the birds fault.

Why is everything named so basic?

Oh you mean the snake that's black with a red belly being balled a Red Belly Black Snake, and the tree with all the doodles on it being called a Scribbly Gum? 80% of plants and animals found in Australia are found NO WHERE ELSE. So the early Europeans had a lot of things to name and when they tried naming it themselves they would get it wrong. 2 good examples are: The Death Adder (only considered highly venomous, not deadly, and not an Adder). Also you're only likely to get bitten if you stand on it or try to pick it up. The Australian Magpie, they saw a black and white bird so it must be a magpie. Nope. Actually not in the corvidae family but in the butcherbird family - Artamidae. So their solution was to either take the Aboriginal word, for example, Quoll, Kookaburra, Koala, Quokka, Taipan. Or name it after what it looks like/sounds like/ is found Boobook Owl - makes a sound like booooo-book Squirrel Glider Eastern Water Dragon Grey Headed Flying Fox Flaky Bark Tea Tree Old man Banksia This can cause confusion though as not every brown coloured snake is a brown snake, and not all Eastern brown snakes are brown. Squirrel Gliders aren't related to squirrels. Flying foxes are bats not actual foxes that fly.

What do I do if I find injured wildlife?

Well, depends on the wildlife and where it is. If it's in a dangerous position, like the middle of a highway, don't try anything. First thing, call a wildlife rescue group, there are plenty around and they have trained people who know what to do. A quick google search should show you all you need to know, also the IFAW's Wildlife Rescue App will identify the closest group to you.

If it's a snake, adult wombat or kangaroo, or any other animal that can cause you serious injury, leave it be. The wildlife rescuers you call can give you basic info on how to help but mostly calling them is the main thing.

If it's something smaller, like a young animal or glider or baby bird and you are able to put it into a cardboard box that will be perfect. The 3 main things injured/ill wildlife need are warmth, dark and quiet. You don't need to worry about food or water. The rescuers will organise that. If you give food or water to an animal in shock you can cause more damage.

THE BEST THING IS TO DO NOTHING. I know this sounds stupid. But so many problems can occur from people who don't know what they are doing helping out. You know what they say about good intentions. For example, picking up a Koala like you would pick up a human child (under the armpits, around the chest) you could actually break their ribs. Also so many Koalas end up needing vet care during heat waves because people pour water into their mouths - they can get pneumonia as the water goes in too fast, it is not a natural way for them to drink. You can also get yourself injured or make the animals injuries worse. I have seen Kangaroos with broken legs get up and try to hop away from people. I have seen severe scratches on other people because they tried to pick up an animal.

What diseases can wildlife give me?

Well. I only know about Australian wildlife, and it's very different to other parts of the world. If you get a bad bite or scratch from wildlife you should see your doctor ASAP, get the wound cleaned properly and make sure your tetanus is up to date (same as if a pet gives you a bad bite or scratch).

There aren't that many Zoonosis that are around in Australia that are easy to catch. Mostly you have to be dealing directly with sick wildlife to get them.

The main thing is Australian Bat Lyssavirus. ABL for short. Now our bats can carry it. About 1 in 1000 bats may have it and you HAVE to be bitten or scratched for it to be transmitted to you. If you are bitten or scratched by a bat your chance is 0.1% of getting ABL but it is related to Rabies, so head straight to hospital for treatment. If you don't touch a bat you won't get bitten or scratched and so your chance of getting it is 0. Hendra is the other virus our bats carry, however it has to go through a horse before it mutates enough for humans to get it.

Basically it's only when you get involved with wildlife that your risk of getting a disease from them is higher than VERY unlikely. If you happen to help some wildlife, and you maybe wrap them in a towel or jumper, even if they urinate on it. You can just chuck it in the wash (I usually add a little extra disinfectant) and it will be fine. Treat it the same as if a pet had used it or urinated on it.

What's some Good Wildlife Apps to have?

Well, there's so many out there now hey? Here's some that I've found handy or know people that use. WomSAT EchidnaCSI PlatypusSPOT are all for recording sightings of these animals (wombats/echidnas/platypus) this helps researches track where they are and how they are going which means we can help them more as well. OzAtlas - record a sighting of anything Australian, animal, plant, fungus, insect. FrogID - need to identify a frog? This is the app for you. Use photos or sound recordings, Field Guide to *insert state/territory* Fauna - Have a field guide on you wherever you are without having to carry a book. Seek by inaturalist - Helps you identify any animals, plants, insect, fungus. IFAW Wildlife Rescue - wildlife rescue app (currently for NSW only but soon expanding) will give you advice on what to do and put you into contact with the local wildlife rescue groups.

Besides Cats and Foxes, what other invasive species have you got that cause problems?

First up, any invasive species causes a problem. In Tasmania they have issues with Sugar Gliders, because they are not naturally found there and use up tree hollows that other animals need. Invasive species cause competition for food, water and shelter. They can also bring in diseases that didn't exist in Australia before and that our natives have no defence against (like cats and Toxoplasmosis) Here's a quick list of invasive animal species in Australia. Cats, dogs, foxes, pigs, water buffalo, ferrets rabbits, horses/brumbies, goats, camels, Cane Toad, European Honey Bee, Common Myna bird, deer, donkey, common starling, common pigeon, black rat, brown rat.

There's more, there's reptiles, and weeds and fish but those guys ^ are the main ones that cause problems.

I am an animal lover but unless we get rid of these animals you loose more in the long run. I'm 100% against use of poisons, I prefer having people hunt them to be honest. If you know what you are doing and have the right equipment you can give them a quick, painless death. To give you an idea how bad invasives are:

The introduction of the rabbit is the main cause the Lesser Bilby became extinct.

The introduction of cats and toxoplasmosis is believed to be the main reason Eastern Quolls became extinct on mainland Australia

Rats led directly to the extinction of 5 of Lord Howe Island's bird species

30% of our land snakes and Goannas are at risk as Cane Toads are rapidly spreading and eat their eggs.

The Common Myna Bird is the 2nd greatest threat to Australian native birds (habitat loss being the 1st)

The fox population has been estimated at 72 million and consume around 190 million birds a year

There's an estimated 23 million wild pigs/boars and an estimated 2.6 million goats - all eating whatever they come across.

How can I help Australian Wildlife?

There's the stuff we already know, like reduce/reuse/recycle and don't litter. But there's other things you may not know about.

Turn off lights at night - any lights that you don't need, don't have them on, especially if they are outside. Lots of animals require insects in their diets, particularly moths, which can be distracted by lights. Zoos Victoria have launched educational stuff for this https://youtu.be/ZAcL4FKPtHw

Learn about them - It's not hard, there's multiple ways you can do it. There's books, tv shows, pod casts, you can follow sanctuaries and other people who work with wildlife on social media. Planting flora that's native to your area is great as different plants can attract different animals and it's much lower maintenance, being made for that environment. You can even find cool life-hacks like Lemon Scented Tea-Tree doesn't just smell amazing and feed lots of wildlife, it keeps the mozzies away! There's different kinds of nesting boxes out there specific to different species that you can put up to help 'foster' that species. You can even become friends with your local Magpies! Mine know me as the lady who cleans and fills the bird bath and all I had to do was whistle to them when I was done and now they are really chill around me and I get to watch their antics. Debunk Myths! - In learning about wildlife you can debunk lots of myths like: a mother bird won't take it's chick back if you've touched it (fake news!) or that snakes dislocate their jaw to swallow their prey (that would be soooo painful!)

Put out water - have a bird bath and keep it clean and full. Or if you don't have one or want to get one just put water out on hot days. Summer's getting hotter and hotter and our animals really suffer. So put out a nice pot or container of water. Don't forget to put a rock or a stick in it if it's a slippery surface (like plastic or metal) so that little animals and bugs don't fall in and drown, and keep it out of the sun if it's likely to heat up.

Check roadkill - it's not pleasant but needs to be done. Don't do it if it's a motorway or somewhere dangerous, but if you can PLEASE do. Roadkill sometimes looks dead but isn't and you don't want them laying there suffering. They may have pouch young if they are a marsupial or young nearby that will need care without their parent. And where possible get it off the road. Species like Tasmanian Devils, Goannas and Wedge Tailed Eagles feed on roadkill and can then end up as roadkill themselves. Even if you have to drag it, it's dead and not gonna feel any more pain. 100% of people I have attended a rescue for who have called because they stopped and found a joey or young in a pouch or hiding nearby have not regretted their decision at all. Even if they were late for work, they saved a life and it was worth it.

Avoid using poisons - insecticides, pesticides, snail bait and straight up rat poison. Like mentioned in POISON VS VENOM, it just keeps killing. There are so many other options out there and they aren't hard to find. There's stuff on the internet but also at Bunnings I've found more environmentally sound options that use Tea Tree oils and Eucalyptus instead and work just as well.

Don't feed them! - Most Aussie animals are gluten and lactose intolerant. BREAD IS REALLY BAD! and if not eaten it gets mouldy and causes disease. Putting out bird seed is the number 1 problem when we talk 'feeding wildlife'. WHY?

The 'wild birdseed' that you buy in shops isn't actually for wild birds. JUST LOOK AT IT, you don't see those seeds growing out in the wild. The main seed wild birds eat are Bottle-brush, She-oaks, Banksias, Wattle and Eucalypts. None of those are found in these bags of seed.

Even for seed eaters that seed you buy is too fatty and unbalanced

For those that don't usually eat seed, like Lorikeets, eating the seed destroys the specialised bristles on their tongues that they need to eat their natural food - nectar and pollen.

If you don't keep it clean you will spread diseases, especially psittacosis (beak and feather) for which there is no cure just a slow, drawn out death. You can also catch it and end up in hospital.

You cause an imbalance. Animals breed based on food availability, if you make food available they will breed but there might not be enough space or trees available and you create more competition and also they end up relying on you and if you go on holiday or anything they can die without that food.

You can cause health issues in other animals. Possums love bird seed but it makes them fat, making it harder for them to escape predators.

You will be feeding non-natives. For example, the Common Myna bird cannot survive on wild plants, but if there is a food source around they can. Got rid of Common Mynas in my neighbourhood by convincing my neighbours to stop putting out bird seed.

RATS LOVE BIRD SEED. Specially feral rats. Mice also love bird seed.

You make a predator hot-spot. It won't take long for predators to realised animals they prey on visit your feeding station and they will come. The most common predator I find around bird seed? Snakes. Snakes love rats and mice, rats and mice love bird seed. You do the maths.

If you want to feed them just do some research and plant trees that are food for them.

How many species are endangered?

Sadly, it's almost quicker to list what's NOT endangered in Australia.

That's hard to say as there is different ways they can be endangered. In one area they may be common, but in another they could be disappearing. You can have Endangered lists at different levels; local, state, national and international.

But the most used list is the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species has evolved to become the world’s most comprehensive information source on the global extinction risk status of animal, fungus and plant species. AKA the IUNC Red List

Here's a bit of a breakdown: EXTINCT 26 mammals 7 birds 4 amphibians CRITICALLY ENDANGERED 7 mammals 8 birds 15 amphibians 13 reptiles ENDANGERED 18 mammals 29 birds 18 amphibians 21 Reptiles VULNERABLE 51 mammals 40 birds 23 amphibians 35 reptiles NEAR THREATENED 43 mammals 37 birds 9 amphibians 21 reptiles

Then there's the "data deficient" category where they really just don't have the info. 10 mammals 11 amphibians 42 reptiles

I will continue to update this post as I think of other things. Feel free to send me any questions you have
