Apex predator, my ass. I’m going to pet the dog 🐻🐻‍❄️🐼

perhaps now is a good time for some responsible bear programming to remind everyone that as cute and cuddly as they may seem, bears are lethal apex predators and should absolutely be treated accordingly if ever encountered.

PET

was going outside to check if the cicadas have arrived yet (they haven't, thank god) and found a dead robin. this feels like an omen.

You could play with the dirty part of the canon description by having Slash and his people roll in mud to hide their scent.

Parts of the Code labelling using weapons/traps as dishonorable could have started as agreements made that Slash's people wouldn't keep using their old tactics, maybe forced on Thunder's Clan to keep them from becoming too powerful, if they DID fuse.

I'm more liable to just remove the "dirty" thing entirely honestly; I just think it's so shitty I'd like to nuke it from orbit, you get me? Every single time they want you to hate someone, they make them fat and/or stinky. I'd rather just put that kind of rhetoric in the mouths of cats like Clear Sky and The Wind Runner, a lie to demonize their enemies, not really based on truth.

I think I might take the trap stuff though; that actually fits in nicely with how ThunderClan's the only one that uses spears. I won't have it be code yet, though, that's going to come a lot later. First two commandments of the code are Borders + Mercy, followed by Law 3 when Riverstar dies in some decades.

Also gonna need a name for Slash's new group. Hey, maybe THESE guys can be called Warriors, actually. Warriors of the Forest, like what the first arc used to be called before it was renamed TPB.

do you guys ever have days where you’re just absolutely losing

[invinciblerodent]

it's actually pretty charming to me how the American voice actors all seem to struggle with pronouncing the elven words

like... "it's called the nar-dus deer-thal-ehn"

is it, Bellara

is it called that

because i'm pretty sure the subtitle says "nadas dirthalen", and that's. that's not how i'd. say that, lol

(it makes sense lore-wise tho, the elves did lose a lot of their language and many of the Dalish have American accents in canon, so it's fitting, if sad that they would have troubles even just pronouncing Elvish, but I'm also just saying that with affection and a tiny bit of smugness)

Have u ever read Empty Graves by unpretty? Best kents raising Superman fic I've ever read. Talks about all the futures where they didn't raise him to be good above all things so well. So much time travel. It's amazing.

Haha yes Unpretty is so good!! Stories about what it had to have been like to raise Clark are always incredibly interesting, and really fantastic when done well. I think on Tumblr people have also gotten in the habit of reading Unpretty's stories as 'basically the character' instead of a 'really fun and unique, off the wall interpretation of the character', which is problematic to people who get persnickety about comics and those people only but that's not relevant -

I'm not sure how common knowledge this is, but there was a Silver Age story about another Kryptonian baby who had a parallel childhood to Clark, except his parents were Evil Crooks, so he had an Evil Crook Childhood, and he became an Evil Crook Baby. They weren't abusive or mean or didn't love him or anything. They just put him in a little bandana and taught him how to talk like a mafia guy and break out of jail cells. Superman eventually had to fight Evil Crook Superman, and eventually breathe a sigh of relief that he wasn't also raised to talk like a mafia gangster.

Sometimes I think about that guy, and I decide that a way funnier story would be about the super baby who was raised to be Evil Crook and who lives his adulthood as an extremely normal office worker guy who's no contact with his parents and has been seeing a therapist for a few years and really just wants to go on with his life and move past his Evil Crook Baby childhood with his batshit parents. He still has superpowers but they, like, don't define him, man.

I believe I had asked for an 🥚 before, but if I could also get a 🌱 I’d be thrilled :}!!! I have loved learning about the species from your answers

Tufted ground squirrel! (Rheithrosciurus macrotis)

Got to dream about being Erica last night, which was cool. Specifically in like, a no-Haven AU but when I finally got to break out all of the poisons, dose literally all the food, and start smashing people's heads in with crochet mallets, my GOD that shit was satisfying.

📂!

Sho has absolutely no idea who Beat is. I mean come on, the guy barely had object permanence for Neku when Joshua was in sight. There's absolutely no way he remembered some random dude he pummeled in the middle of his little steroid-induced manic fit of violence when Beat himself needed Fret's remind. As far as he's concerned the guy spawned in from the ether vehemently hating his guts and yknow what? Get in line. Like 85% of people in the UG are pissed off at him for some reason or other, one more makes no difference to him.

That line of battle dialogue they have that's like "Guess we gotta work together" / "What? You got a problem with that?" is actually 100% genuine on Sho's part he's just too proud to admit it.

the way I was Positive this had to be someone typing up the most hyperbolic shit they could think of until I scrolled a bit more and they

they're serious. you're serious? you're being completely real? you think your cat looks both ways before crossing the street?

That fanart of kiryu getting fingerblasted and he’s wearing nothing but his watch always makes me so fucking horny i was to explode

I might be wine drunk right now bit how chill you are with wasps even though one is bugging (hehe) you and you have been stung before just seems so good to me!! Like I donot know you but I feel proud thst you care enough about a wasp to stay kind! I always freak out cause I was stung omce and now these critters scare me but, I'm trying, and I think I wanna be able to act like you. Around wasps. Very positieve sweet post, thanks :) Just wanted to say, I like your attitude about them little yellow bugs :) (I checked for spelling errors but there might still be many, sorry)

Haha I'm glad it was appreciated! I don't know when I became really chill around critters, but I did realize recently that I have become that person who's like "Ugh it would be so much simpler to just kill this bug in my house because it's in an inconvenient place, but no, I feel morally obligated to catch it and let it outside 🙄" haha. The thing about a lot of stinging flying insects is that they generally won't sting unless they're disturbed (i.e. a bee had climbed into my jacket sleeve in an orchard, so when I put it on, it freaked out, validly—though there are some hornets that are a bit more aggressive) so I try to keep it cool and stay aware of where they are near me, and it's worked pretty well so far!

We did have to get rid of a hornet's nest recently that was next to the front door, which I did not enjoy, but there are limits to interactions. Actually, I just read A Honeybee Heart Has Five Openings and am currently reading Braiding Sweetgrass, and both of them have some applicable discussions of interacting with nonhuman life (and the first with bees in particular), so highly recommend checking one or both of those out if you're interested!

In general though I tend to let the urban wildlife do what they're doing, and don't move too quickly around them, and normally that cuts it, though I do draw the line at the squirrel that tried to steal my lunch the other week. -_-
