they will crucify me for this but I think Joyce Messier might be my favorite character. she’s so fucking funny. her political identity is The Bad Guy (Neener Neener). she is intellectually sympathetic to communism but she gets paid too much to give a shit. she’s got formal yearly Go Insane clearance. she waxes poetic about the universe but acts like naming a boat is some absurd romantic rubbish.
you walk up to her and tell her she’s evil and actively making the world worse and she’s like “oh yeah I think you’re probably right” and then mainlines caviar about it
and she’s hot
don’t get me wrong! I would stab her if she were real

Are there any weird weasel/weasel adjacent lil guys? Tumblr tag searching is being rude
Yes! Marbled polecats have to be the weirdest of the noodle-y mustelids. The ear puffs, the color, the patterns, the stance, the pout, the length, they have it all!
Other polecats like the Saharan and striped are also pretty wacky skunk lookalikes. Convergent evolution!
I think Malayan weasels are the funkiest literal weasels, very interesting color scheme for a critter living in the tropics.
Japanese martins look pretty similar to the Malayans, but even more vivid. Really would like to know why this coloration evolved twice!
Another tropical guy, nilgiri marten have very bold and striking colors. You look like a bee.
Tayra are not especially weasel flavored as far as mustelids go, but they always look kinda sad and concerned. One of their names in Spanish translates to ‘old man of the mountains’ and I can see why. Has an elderly vibe.
Hi,
I just wanted to say that I’ve been reading your kiribaku fanfics. They’re amazing!! Your such a fantastic writer.
The way you build characters and worlds never fails to impress me. What you write is truly breathtaking.
Thank you for allowing me to read your undeniably good fanfics.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed my stories. I expected this message on my dedicated sideblog but regardless, you've made my day!
Just a quick note though: we've been having a lot of bot issues recently, so you might want to add a profile pic and a description to your blog so people know you're a real person

I’m so happy this is back
Pingu is real
sorry but this ai expansion of the descartes portrait is literally so swagful
my friend just encountered Yiga on the great plateau, and avoided a Korok out of paranoia.
can you imagine? just walking up to a Korok, only to notice it has a Yiga symbol on its leaf face.
then he pulls out a wooden shiv and in a tiny voice yells "Glory to Master Koga!"
and remember, Hylians cant see Koroks. they'd have no idea one had become a fan and joined them.
like imagine a Yiga occasionally finding mighty bananas and being like "where are these even coming from!?"
and in the background a Korok is saluting and saying "you're welcome!"
Jean is the funniest disco elysium character. Mother fucker puts on a whole disguise with his stupid little sunglasses and crusty ugly wig so he can prank his idoit partner who straight up just doesn't get the joke. He sits there for multiple days with zero payoff. He did all that for literally no reason. And on top of that he gets replaced by the actual coolest guy in the world. Can you even imagine. Cringe fail motherfucker
I'm impressed that he has four likely and possible-sounding names to pick from.
I realize it’s just because they’re trying to introduce the audience to the concept of Pokemon and everything but nothing will ever be funnier to me than prof oak being like “these are creatures called Pokemon, they live in all sorts of environments!” like imagine if you met a biology professor and they were like ‘I’ve been studying these intriguing creatures called “animals’
I maintain that Pokemon starts to make a lot more sense when you stop thinking of the Professors as biologists and start thinking of them as children’s science communicators, which, in a world where children as young as 10 are expected to make their way in a world populated by superpowered fauna almost entirely alone, stands as an important and laudable career. “There are 150 animals” becomes the in-universe equivalent of “There are three states of matter.” There’s too much information in this field to dump on a grade-schooler all at once, so Professor Oak is here to mete out animal facts as they become relevant in an easy-to-understand way.
That being said, I would love to see what kind of shit the real Pokemon biologists are on. I’m just imagining some disheveled, overcaffienated researcher writing a grant proposal for their study on why certain wingull seem to evolve into pelipper faster when they hatched in the winter or something. There’s bird shit on their glasses. They haven’t left the lighthouse in months. This is their life’s work. Ash Ketchum doesn’t need to know about real Pokémon biology.
Nobody ever writes stories about kids who want to learn the classical violin but whose parents force them to learn the electric guitar instead.
Generationally speaking, we are well past the point where this is a plausible storyline.
"But papà! I wish to play in an orchestra!"
"That noise ain't music! We only play Classic Rock in this family! And you will address me as 'daddio' while you're livin' under my roof, kid!"
Small Child (miserably): "I dig."
This is good advice, but also why this picture?
It’s hard for two horses to be intimate when there’s an erupting volcano nearby. What’s not clicking
End blood quantum now
Blood quantum is how much native blood you have in you and it needs to be a certain threshold to qualify you as a tribal member. Blood quantum varies from tribe to tribe.
It means my mom is a tribal member but because my dad is outside of my tribe... I don't have enough tribal blood to enroll. Neither does my daughter. Our "official" indigeneity ended with me.
My dad is still native tho. Just southern native. Others have two parents enrolled in separate tribes and can't enroll in either one despite being Full native because their parents were mixed with other tribes so they don't have enough blood of Any tribe to qualify.
And to what end are they doing this?
Under the treaties the US govt can lay no claim to native land. So how do they fix that? Get rid of the natives, of course.
And since they can't slaughter us in broad daylight anymore they did the next best thing. What the colonial government has ALWAYS done to us and other poc.
Made up a bunch of arbitrary laws to restrain and limit our power and numbers.
And this can't continue. We are the only race who needs to apply to be part of the community we were born into. The only race who needs to prove our blood.
And that's the thing: it's not even based on blood. Racist scientists defined who was a full-blooded native based on things like shoe size, head circumference, and skin pigment.
Not blood. And besides that it wasn't uncommon for outsiders to become part of a tribe!! You didn't need to be native by blood to be native! Blood quantum has made it IMPOSSIBLE for them to qualify and made it impossible for tribes to practice that long time aspect of our culture.
So please share this post. So many people legitimately think natives are extinct and even less are aware that we do more than just sit around drinking all day. Few people have good feelings about us and within that there are a few who actively help. Please be one of those few.
We need support and allies and for our voices to be heard. Please don't let this post just be me screaming into a void. We need people to know what blood quantum is, how archaic and harmful it is, and to help us spread awareness to people who otherwise would ignore us. Use your privilege.
At the center of this is blood quantum, the system imposed by the U.S. government to determine tribal membership. A new Wilder Foundation Research study projects that unless there is a major change to the criteria, Red Lake, like many tribes across the nation, faces catastrophic population loss in coming years.
Wilder Research scientist Nicole MartinRogers is blunt about what's ahead for the Red Lake Nation.
"A tribal population that is right now about 16,000, is going to drop to 1,000 people potentially or under in the next 100 years, if they continue to maintain their current enrollment criteria of one-quarter blood quantum,” she said. “That's a pretty scary thing."
blood quantum was designed to eliminate native americans while the one drop rule was intended to keep african americans slaves in perpetuity
