A.
I answer the doorbell. I see a sparkling Tinkerbell flitting in front of me (it could be shaped like something else but I need to instantly recognize that this is supposed to be a fairy).
Response: I take a sharp intake of breath, but (since the original pollmaker didn't specify immediate malicious intent) probably don't do much else except gawk. Until the fairy does something, I stand there bewildered, maybe scared IF I truly accept this is a mythical creature.
B.
I answer the doorbell. 4000lbs (1814kg) of writhing wrinkled grey flesh bends it's doughy head down from its 12 foot (3.66 meters) height to peer at me, two long white knives jutting from its hairy maw. It makes this noise:
youtube
Response: I scream. 100% I would scream if I saw a walrus at my front door. I don't scream very often but I know what conditions bring me to that state. A walrus meets those conditions. I don't have thoughts, I don't try to make sense of what I'm seeing. I scream and run.
Ergo, I would be more shocked by a walrus at my front door than a fairy. I understand others might have different perspectives, but I feel like the people actually getting mad at walrus-pickers are talking past us. No fairies aren't real, but we're talking about gut reactions, right? Not imagined logical assessments of impossible scenarios.
#fairy vs walrus#like the obvious issue is that the pollmakers don't define what a fairy is/looks like/verifies it's a fairy while a walrus is concrete#so I'm left like hmm even the most malevolent depictions of fairies I've come across aren't like 'scream on sight' horrifying#while a wild animal is a wild animal#Youtube

You know the friendship is real when your first instinct against danger is to protect the group's little puppy.
This is one of the scenes that I adore SO much. You can tell that both Suou and Sakura made the decision to shield Nirei subconsciously. This is so important because usually Sakura would charge into the battlefield and leave Nirei in the care of Suou since he was aware that Suou could do that with ease.
The look of surprise on their faces when they saw the other doing the same thing is so priceless. I think at that moment they really realised how much they had grown on each other.
#yes i headcanon that nirei's animal code is a puppy#the small and fluffy and energetic kind#sakura is a wild cat#that was quite given#most ppl would say suou is a fox but i beg to differ#to me suou is a wolf. yes foxes are sly and smart but they dont tend to have a good image#while wolves are STRONG and SMART and LOYAL#anw excuse my yapping#101 suou expressions#101 suo expressions#suo hayato#suou hayato#wind breaker nirei#sakura haruka#wind breaker sakura#wind breaker#wind breaker nii satoru

Resisting the urge to argue with internet strangers when they say incorrect cat facts. I am Gods strongest soldier.
#bengals are not like wolf dogs#bengals are not wild animals#they are not unethical#bengals are not neurotic if you breed and train them right#bengals actually DO make good pets with the right lifestyle#not everyone buys them impulsively bc they look pretty#the existence of bad breeders doesn’t mean all breeders are bad#am I ranting in the tags so I don’t bother my friends by sending them a novel worth of text on discord while they’re at work#perhaps#I love bengals and I have opinions okay 😂😭

getting emotional over footage of an amateur scuba diver interacting with a coelacanth. they are hunted by large deepwater predators, and here comes a large creature bearing the brightest lights it's ever seen, making strange noises, but it does not shy away. it hovers, calmly, as the diver reaches out and trails a hand down its back. im strongly against the anthropomorphizing of real life animals but the stupid emotional part of me loudly insists this is because it recognizes us, the alternating movements of its four paired limbs matching the diver's four paired limbs, & it is thinking, "hello, cousins, we missed you these 66 million years, it's so good to see you again. welcome back, welcome home."
#[OBLIGATORY DISCLAIMER: he should NOT have touched the fish. do NOT touch random fish you find while scuba diving#especially if the fish is 6ft long & has sharp teeth#ESPECIALLY if the fish is a critically endangered species#being overwhelmed by the majesty of the coelcanth is understandable but that does not excuse his behavior]#[obligatory disclaimer 2: i know nothing about this guy; by 'amateur' i just mean he wasnt part of a scientific expedition at the time]#[obligatory disclaimer 3: i mean it wasnt CALM. its first dorsal fin was erect which we have reason to believe means it is on edge.#but it didnt flee like you would expect of a wild animal]#...disclaimers over. now im going to wail about how life began in the sea and we left & they stayed#& we thought they were gone & now we're finding our way back home to them#they are so beautiful and they are our family and they love us ok. they do i know it in my heart#coelacanth#Latimeria chalumnae#animals#andy original#ALSO I KNOW THEY HAVE 8 FINS by four paired limbs i mean the pelvic and pectoral the others arent paired they dont move like legs do

I've been having a delightful time stumbling over my emojis being used in random servers, so here's more
#It's seriously so funny to see an emote of mine in random conversation from a private server#emojis#art#rain world#Some people went even farther and apparently started using other art of mine as emotes#Which is fine but absolutely buck wild to stumble over#Since some of the art they chose is literally wip versions of my current pfp#??? Sure I guess 😂#rw survivor#rw monk#rw saint#spearmaster#Most of these were requests. The rest were just the emojis I use the most turned into scugs lol#You get to decide which was which lmfaoooo#Also here's some lore: a while back I made 'hunterwheeze'#and the bit was everyone liked it so much they wanted it in the server#So I said bet and threw a bunch of emotes to the staff to hear their thoughts#And way more than I thought got added!#Except for hunterwheeze 🤣🤣🤣#Instead they chose a super edited screenshot of some animation frame I made a few months ago I added last minute for giggles#Which I was DELIGHTED by. It's perfect#Also the only instance of the emote since it's technically not on this blog 😉 not transparent anyway#Oh and here's my favorite 'wild' emotes I've found:#1) that person that dmed me to reveal there was an animated emote for every variation of rivulets face I made that one time#(I was not allowed to join the server)#2) discovering an emote has been in use for months in a server swathed in drama and in the throes of being orchestized from the community#3) that one nightcat-saint emote appearing on a random server announcement (it's so niche I was astounded anyone used it lmfao)#Most sightings are totally benign but these were just hilarious

Teehee! (Spritesheets your Wangxian)
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#pixel art#game dev diary#When you read these tags please imagine it is at my bedside in a candlelit room as I lay in bed shaking with fever.#I weakly hand you an envelope with these spritesheets and you have to lean in to hear my rasping voice.#Because I *know* this is probably really straightforward to a lot of artists.#But this is my first time doing something like this *EVER*. I am so far outside of my comfort zone!#But *who* is pd-mdzs if not that art blog that keeps you all on your toes for what to expect?#For someone who has never done pixel art I think I did okay! I have learned a lot B*)#The more exciting news is that THESE ACUALLY WORK. They can run around and be put into situations!#(Well...the *original* files work; these are screenshots. The real files are microscopically small)#Get ready for a new era of content while I continue to learn more about sprite art and animation.#I have a lot of other assets to practice making so seriously; get ready for some wild MDZS (and Dungeon Meshi) fake game clips.#I want to recreate some scenes in the game engine to practice and experiment! I think that's really fun!#Next up is dialogue window icons and then battle art!

ford, hanging out with an anomalous feline: oh, hello, mabel
mabel, immediately pointing at it: bleep bloop
ford: bleep bloop?
mabel, nodding sagely: bleep bloop
ford, booping the anomaly on the nose: nyoom
stan: what the fuck are you two on about
#gravity falls#ford pines#stan pines#mabel pines#i like to think that ford has a habit of bringing home injured anomalies just to treat their wounds and monitor them until they’re released#he’s much too close with this one (which is bad because it socializes the wild animal) so i’m gonna say it’s a case of it being too injured#to be released again. it lives a long happy life with ford and stan#or maybe is left in the care of fiddleford or soos and melody while they’re away#…anyway

there is a special place in hell for cat owners who allow their cats to free-roam a residential neighborhood because it's ~natural~.
The amount of devastation and heartbreak I have seen from loved ones whose cats accidentally got out makes me like twice as mad too because I cannot. I cannot fathom the cruelty and selfishness required to ignore what we know to be best practice for cat husbandry because your feefees get uncomfies when people tell you it's animal abuse to wilfully, knowingly cut your cat's expected lifespan from 15-20 years to 2-3.
KEEP. YOUR. FUCKING. CATS. INSIDE.
#this does not apply to people who are doing their best to care for feral colonies while providing TNR and other essential healthcare#it also does not apply to people who are trying to keep their cats indoors#it's the people who have four or five outdoor cats and an ostentatious tesla and a ~wild pollinator~ sign in their garden#guess what sweetie fluffy does more damage to wild pollinators than twenty grass lawns#the performative environmentalism paired with blasé attitudes towards the welfare of animals in their care makes me fucking seethe

Okay, Dandadan is probably one if the stupidest plots for an anime I've ever watched, but DESPITE THAT-
It still manages to have extremely compelling characters, an awesome rom-com of the two MCs, awesome supernatural powers, and a surprisingly tasteful portrayal of the main plot.
Like, I know anime, I've watched food wars. I know how anime can be, and suffice to say: I'm honestly happy with how the writers are treating the plot.
It's not overtly sexual, they haven't turned the missing balls into some sex-fueled fantasy that can only be solved through fanservice and the main characters getting it on. Instead it's been treated like it is: a circumstance thats so fucking ridiculous it is legitimately hysterical, the idea that a ghost stole your balls is honestly comedic, and I'm glad that the anime (I haven't fully read the manga so I can't speak for it) is treating it as such.
Plus, the Opening, and artstyle in which the anime is being produced with is so fucking incredible, from the designs, angles, and action sequences to the actual character movements, each scene feels so alive and every personality really pops through the character's motions. I don't feel like there is a stagnant moment in the anime so far, and it's really fucking awesome to just sit and take in the art that is being blasted into my retinas.
So all in all: do I contemplate my life choices every time I think about the plot of the show? Yes, but do I also take into account that it could've been worse, and what we got is actually really fucking amazing all things considered? Absolutely.
#dandadan anime#i wanna read the manag but i don't wanna go searching for it online#maybe i'll buy it when i get paid next#momokarun#momo ayase#okarun#dandadan#I genuinely love the chemistry that Okarun and Momo have together#they are so boy fail x girl fail while simultaneously being badass x badass#and i live for it#the first episode was wild and i almost dropped it because of it#but i'm glad i stuck it out#birbblurbs
